Disclosure Schedule. Except as set forth in Section 3.8(d) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the
Company nor any of its subsidiaries has any indebtedness for borrowed money that the Company or its
subsidiaries has directly or indirectly created, incurred, assumed, or guaranteed, or with respect

immediate families in publicly traded companies. No stockholder, officer or director or any member
of their immediate families has any direct or indirect interest in any material contract with the

To the best of the Company’s or Principals’ knowledge, no officer or key employee of the
Company is or will be in violation of any judgment, decree, or order, or any term of any employment
contract, patent disclosure agreement, or other contract or agreement relating to the relationship

agency or authority) has any claim or basis for any suit, action, claim, proceeding or
investigation against the Company arising out of any statute, law, ordinance, code, rule or
regulation relating to discrimination in employment or employment practices or occupational safety
and health standards (including, without limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended,
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended,
the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended, or the Americans with Disabilities

Effect.
10

Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has filed all tax returns and reports as required by
law. To the best of the Company’s and the Principals’ knowledge these returns and reports are true
and correct in all material respects. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries has paid all taxes
and other assessments due. The Company has not elected pursuant to Section 1362(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and applicable provisions of state law, to be
treated as an S corporation. The Company has not elected to be treated as a collapsible
corporation pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code, nor has it made any other elections pursuant to
the Code (other than elections that relate solely to methods of accounting, depreciation, or
amortization) that are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has never
had any tax deficiency assessed, or, to the best of the Company’s and Principals’ knowledge,
proposed, against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the
assessment or collection of any tax or governmental charge. Except as set forth in Section 3.18 of
the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Company’s federal income tax returns and none of its state
income or franchise tax or sales or use tax returns have ever been audited by governmental
authorities. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to each of its
employees, the amount of all taxes, including, but not limited to, federal income taxes, Federal

terminated in accordance with their terms. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of
any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or
obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such
representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.
7.5 | Indemnification by the Company and Principals. |
On the terms and conditions, and subject to the limitations, set forth in this Article VII,
from and after the Closing, each of the Company and the Principals (the “Seller Indemnifying
Parties”), jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold Purchaser, its officers, directors,
employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates (the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless
from and against, and shall reimburse the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for, any and all actual
losses, damages, debts, liabilities, obligations, judgments, orders, awards, writs, injunctions,
24
decrees, fines, penalties, Taxes, costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, any
reasonable legal or accounting fees or expenses (“Losses”) based upon, arising out of or related to
(i) any inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach of, any representation or warranty made by
the Company and/or the Principals in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or (ii) any
failure by the Company or the Principals to perform or comply, in whole or in part, with any
covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement.
7.6 | Indemnification by the Purchaser. |
On the terms and conditions, and subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VII,
from and after the Closing, Purchaser (the “Purchaser Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold
the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates and the
Principals (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against, and shall reimburse the
Seller Indemnified Parties for, any and all Losses based upon, arising out of or related to (i) any
inaccuracy or misrepresentation in, or breach of, any representation or warranty made by Purchaser
in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or (ii) any failure by Purchaser to perform or
comply, in whole or in part, with any covenant or agreement in this Agreement or in any other
Ancillary Agreement.
7.7 | Matters Involving Third Parties. |
(a) For purposes of this Article VII, (i) the Purchaser Indemnifying Party and the Seller
Indemnifying Parties shall be referred to herein as the “Indemnifying Parties” or an “Indemnifying
Party” as the context requires and (ii) the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller
Indemnified Parties shall be referred to as the “Indemnified Parties” or an “Indemnified Party” as
the context requires.
(b) if any third party shall notify an Indemnified Party with respect to any matter (a
“Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the Company
under this Article VII, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify each Indemnifying Party
thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in
notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder
unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is materially prejudiced; it
being understood and agreed that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying
Party prior to settling a Third Party Claim (whether by paying a claim or executing a binding
settlement agreement with respect thereto) or the entry of a judgment or issuance of an award with
respect to a Third Party Claim shall constitute actual material prejudice to the Indemnifying
Party’s ability to defend against such Third Party Claim.
(c) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the
Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so
long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30)
calendar days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the
Indemnifying Party or Parties will indemnify the Indemnified Party from, arising out of, relating
to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim (it being understood by the Parties that
the Indemnified Party may take such actions as are reasonable in connection with
25
its defense until it receives such notice from the Indemnifying Party), and (ii) the
Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.
(d) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in
accordance with Section 7.6(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at
its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim (provided that
the Indemnified Party will have the right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified
Party (the fees and expenses of which will be borne by the Indemnifying Party) if, in the
Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and
the Indemnifying Party exists with respect to such claim), (ii) the Indemnified Party will not
consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld
unreasonably), and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect
to the Third Party Claim in which any relief other than the payment of money damages is sought
against any Indemnified Party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant, petitioner or plaintiff, as applicable, to
such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim and
(ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act
by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(e) In the event any of the conditions in Section 7.6(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, however,
(i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem
appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any
Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the
Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party
Claim. The Parties will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Party may suffer
resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim
to the fullest extent provided in this Article VII.
7.8 | Notices, etc. |
All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and

overnight courier service, or (iii) otherwise delivered by hand or by messenger, addressed (A) if

7.9 | Delays or Omissions. |
No delay or omission to exercise any right, power, or remedy accruing to any party upon any
breach or default under this Agreement, shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default
theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or
character on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in
writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All
remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any of the parties, shall
be cumulative and not alternative.
7.10 | References. |
Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a “Section” refers to a section of
this Agreement. Any references to “this Section” refers to the whole number section in which such
reference is contained.
7.11 | Severability. |
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law, then such
provision shall be excluded from this Agreement and the balance of this Agreement shall be
interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and shall be enforceable in accordance with its
terms. The court in its discretion may substitute for the excluded provision an enforceable
provision, which in economic substance reasonably approximates the excluded provision.
7.12 | Pronouns. |
All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular
or plural, as the identity of the person or persons may require.
7.13 | Counterparts. |
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and via facsimile, each of which
shall be deemed an original and enforceable against the parties actually executing such
counterpart, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one instrument.
7.14 | Remedies. |
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that a breach of any of the covenants of
the Company or the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement may not be compensable by payment of money
damages and, therefore, that the covenants of the foregoing parties set forth in this Agreement may
be enforced in equity by a decree requiring specific performance.
7.15 | Certain Definitions. |
As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings unless the context
otherwise required:
27
“Affiliate” shall mean a Person that, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by,
or is under common control with, any Person.
“Control” (including, with correlative meaning, the terms “controlled by” and “under common
control with”) as used with respect to any Person, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of
the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such Person, whether
through ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.
“Person” means any individual, corporation, general or limited partnership, limited
liability company, firm, joint venture, association, enterprise, joint stock company, trust

Person.
7.16 | Publicity. |

employees, consultants, agents, shareholders, accountants, lenders and legal counsel) with respect
to the financial terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser, other than as may be required by applicable law or court order.
7.17 | Access. |

accountants and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours
throughout the period prior to the Closing, to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ properties,
books, contracts and records and, during such period, the Company shall furnish promptly to
Purchaser access to (and, where reasonable, copies of,) all information concerning the Company’s
and its subsidiaries’ business, properties and personnel as may reasonably be requested, provided
that no investigation pursuant to this Section 7.16 shall affect or be deemed to modify any
representation or warranty made by the Company herein.
7.18 | Further Assurances. |
The Company covenants and agrees that it shall execute such documents and papers, and perform
such further acts, as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof
and the transactions contemplated hereby before and after the Closing and that it shall use its
reasonable best efforts to fulfill or obtain the fulfillment of the conditions set forth in
Articles V and VI hereof, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of any
documents or other papers, the execution and delivery of which are conditions precedent to Closing,
