STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 26, 2008, by and among Union Street Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Xxxxxxxxxxx, Inc., a Georgia corporation (the “Seller”) and Archway Marketing Services, Inc, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).

R E C I T A L S

WHEREAS, Seller is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock (the “Shares”) of the Company;

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell the Shares to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase the Shares from Seller, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (the purchase and sale of the Shares is referred to in this Agreement as the “Acquisition”); and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Buyer has unanimously (i) determined that the Acquisition is fair to, and in the best interests of, Buyer and its stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement, the Acquisition, the Escrow Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) determined to recommend that the stockholders of Buyer adopt and approve this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and approve the Acquisition.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows (defined terms used in this Agreement are listed alphabetically in Article IX, together with the Section and, if applicable, paragraph number in which the definition of each such term is located):

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale of the Shares. (a) At the Closing (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, the Shares free and clear of all Liens. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares is $80,300,000 in cash (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 1.3 and shall be subject to adjustment as provided below and in Section 1.5.

(b) The Purchase Price shall be reduced at Closing dollar-for-dollar to account for any Non-Operating Indebtedness of the Company existing at the time of the Closing. For purposes of this Section 1.1(b), “Non-Operating Indebtedness” shall include (i) all unpaid costs related to the existing lease/facility at the Company’s facility located in Valencia, California, all of which are set forth on Schedule 1.1(b), and (ii) any unpaid amounts due to Company employees, including 2007 bonuses, 2008 bonuses through Closing, transaction bonuses, or

payments related to the retirement of outstanding options, in each case to the extent not paid on or before the Closing. Non-Operating Indebtedness will not include liabilities related to worker compensation reserves and medical reserves, respectively, related to estimates of future funding requirements for claims of Company employees.

(i) The Purchase Price shall be increased at Closing by the amount by which (A) total expenditures on the capital improvements, including, without limitation capital improvements set forth on Schedule 4.1, beginning on January 1, 2008 and ending on the Closing exceeds (collectively “Total Capital Expenditures”) (B) the product of (x) $250,000 multiplied by (y) the number of months elapsed in 2008 prior to the Closing (such product is referred to herein as the “Capex Target”). The Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which Total Capital Expenditures is less than the Capex Target. For purposes of calculating the Capex Target the month in which the Closing occurs shall be counted as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the month up to the Closing Date and the denominator shall be the total number of days in such month.

(ii) The Purchase Price shall be increased at Closing by the amount by which the total costs to the Company, Seller or AHL Services, Inc., a Georgia corporation (“AHL”) of separating the Company IT Functions from the IT functions of Seller and AHL incurred through the date of Closing (collectively, “Total IT Expenditures”) exceed $600,000 (the “IT Target”). The Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount by which Total IT Costs is less than the IT Target. The “Company IT Functions” means the information technology functions of the Company that are specifically set forth on Schedule 1.1(c) along with the estimated costs related to the separation of such functions from the IT functions of Seller and AHL.

1.2 Closing Date. The closing of the Acquisition (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. (“Mintz Xxxxx”), counsel to Buyer, at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing (the “Closing Date”). Closing signatures may be transmitted by facsimile.

1.3 Transactions to be Effected at the Closing. (a) At the Closing Buyer shall deliver to Seller (i) an amount equal to the Purchase Price less the Escrow Amount (defined below) in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account of Seller designated in writing by Seller to Buyer no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) all other documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Buyer at or prior to the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) At the Closing Seller shall deliver to Buyer (i) certificates for the Shares duly endorsed or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, with any required transfer stamps affixed thereto, (ii) all other documents and instruments necessary to vest in

- 2 -

Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and (iii) all other documents, instruments or certificates required to be delivered by Seller at or prior to the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

1.4 Working Capital; Closing Statement. (a) Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and deliver to Seller an unaudited Closing Statement (the “Closing Statement”), which shall set forth Buyer’s calculation of Working Capital as of the Closing Date (“Closing Working Capital”). The definition of Working Capital and the standards for preparing the Closing Statement are set forth in Schedule 1.4(a). The accounts attached as Schedule 1.4(a) will represent the sole components of the working capital statement for purposes of determining the Working Capital at Closing. These accounts will contain amounts and items consistent with past reporting. The Working Capital will not include any accruals for items not previously provided in these accounts.

(b) The Closing Statement shall also set forth Buyer’s calculations of Non-Operating Indebtedness, Total Capital Expenditures and Total IT Expenditures, in each case as of the Closing Date, and any related Purchase Price adjustments in accordance with Section 1.1(c).

(c) Upon receipt from Buyer, Seller shall have 30 days to review the Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). If Seller disagrees with Buyer’s computations on the Closing Statement, Seller may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a notice to Buyer (the “Notice of Objection”), which sets forth its objections to Buyer’s calculations. Any Notice of Objection shall specify those items or amounts with which Seller disagrees, together with a detailed written explanation of the reasons for disagreement with each such item or amount, and shall set forth Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital, Non-Operating Indebtedness, Total Capital Expenditures and Total IT Expenditures based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in the Notice of Objection, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement.

(d) Unless Seller delivers the Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have accepted Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital, Non-Operating Indebtedness, Total Capital Expenditures and Total IT Expenditures and the Closing Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding. If Seller delivers the Notice of Objection to Buyer within the Review Period, Buyer and Seller shall, during the 30 days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to the Minneapolis, Minnesota office of PricewaterhouseCoopers or (if such firm shall decline or is unable to act) another nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (the “Independent Expert”). The parties shall instruct the Independent Expert promptly to review this Section 1.4 and to determine solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement require adjustment. The Independent Expert shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Buyer and Seller and not on an independent review. Buyer and Seller shall make available to the Independent Expert all relevant books and records and other items reasonably

- 3 -

requested by the Independent Expert. As promptly as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after its retention, the Independent Expert shall deliver to Buyer and Seller a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts; provided that in no event shall Closing Working Capital as determined by the Independent Expert be less than Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in the Closing Statement nor more than Seller’s calculation of Closing Working Capital set forth in the Notice of Objection. The decision of the Independent Expert shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be shared by Seller and Buyer in inverse proportion to the respective amounts in dispute under this Section 1.4(c) for which each of them is successful.

1.5 Post-Closing Adjustment of Purchase Price. (a) “Final Working Capital” means the Closing Working Capital (i) as shown in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(a), if no Notice of Objection with respect thereto is timely delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4(b); or (ii) if a Notice of Objection is so delivered, (A) as agreed by Buyer and Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(c) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Independent Expert’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(c). If Final Working Capital is less than Agreed Working Capital Threshold, Seller shall pay to Buyer, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 1.5(b), an amount of cash equal to the difference between Agreed Working Capital Threshold and Final Working Capital (the “Deficit Amount”). If Final Working Capital exceeds Agreed Working Capital Threshold Buyer shall pay to Seller, in the manner and with interest as provided in Section 1.5(b), an amount of cash equal to the difference between Final Working Capital and Agreed Working Capital Threshold (the “Excess Amount”). “Agreed Working Capital Threshold” means the sum of $12.152 million plus the Working Capital Growth Adjustment. “Working Capital Growth Adjustment” as used herein means the product of the number of months elapsed in 2008 prior to the Closing times $100,000. For purposes of this calculation the month in which the Closing occurs shall be counted as a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days in the month up to the Closing Date and the denominator shall be the total number of days in such month.

(b) The Excess Amount or the Deficit Amount, as the case may be, shall be adjusted to reflect the net adjustments to Non-Operating Indebtedness, Total Capital Expenditures and Total IT Expenditures as finalized by Section 1.4 and any final Purchase Price adjustments in accordance with Section 1.1(c).

(c) Within three Business Days after Final Working Capital, Non-Operating Indebtedness, Total Capital Expenditures and Total IT Expenditures have been finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4, (i) if there is a Deficit Amount (as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5(b)), Seller shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to such adjusted Deficit Amount, together with interest calculated as set forth below, and (ii) if there is an Excess Amount (as adjusted pursuant to Section 1.5(b)), Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to such adjusted Excess Amount, together with interest calculated as set forth below. Any such payment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, at least one Business Day prior to such transfer. The amount of any payment to be made pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall bear interest from and including the Closing Date to but excluding the date of payment at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition in effect from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Such interest shall be calculated daily on the basis of a year of 365 days and the actual number of days elapsed, without compounding.

1.6 Escrow. As the sole remedy for the indemnity obligations set forth in Article VII, at the Closing the Seller shall deposit in escrow, to be held during the period ending on April 30, 2009 (“Escrow Period”), $3,950,000 in cash (the “Escrow Cash”) received by Seller as a result of the Acquisition (the “Escrow Amount”), which such cash shall be allocated to Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement to be entered into at the Closing between the Buyer, Seller and SunTrust Bank, as Escrow Agent, in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”). Subject to Article VII, on the first business day following the conclusion of the Escrow Period, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Amount, less any such cash applied in satisfaction of a claim for indemnification and any cash then in dispute related to the indemnification obligations set forth in Article VII, to the Seller. The remaining Escrow Amount, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of a claim for indemnification, will be distributed to Seller promptly upon resolution of the dispute or claim.

2.6 Compliance. The Company has complied with and is not in violation of any Legal Requirements with respect to the conduct of its business, or the ownership or operation of its business, except for failures to comply or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.6, no written notice of non-compliance with any Legal Requirements has been received by the Company (and the Company has no knowledge of any such notice delivered to any other Person) since January 1, 2006. The Company is not in violation of any term of any Company Contract, except for failures to comply or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and are not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

2.7 Financial Statements.

(a) Seller has provided to Buyer a correct and complete copy of the audited consolidated financial statements (including any related notes thereto) of AHL and its Subsidiaries for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006 (the “Audited Financial Statements”), and a copy of the audited consolidated financial statements (including any related notes thereto) of the Company for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006.

(c) Since October 7, 2005, the books of account, minute books, stock certificate books and stock transfer ledgers and other similar books and records of the Company have been maintained in accordance with commercially reasonable business practice, are complete and correct in all material respects and there have been no material transactions that are required to be set forth therein and which are not so set forth.

- 8 -

2.8 No Undisclosed Liabilities.

(c) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.13 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the Acquisition. Seller acknowledges that any violation of this Section 5.13 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer and agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, without the necessity of proving actual damages, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 5.13, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which Buyer may be entitled under law or in equity.

The covenants contained in this Section 5.13 and each provision thereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions.

(e) If Seller is judicially determined to have violated any provision of this Section 5.13, then the prevailing party shall be paid by the other party or parties all of its costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing the terms of this Section 5.13.

5.15 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation and Filing of Pre-Closing and Post-Closing Period Tax Returns.

(i) Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date (other than income Tax Returns with respect to periods for which a consolidated, unitary or combined income Tax Return of Seller will include the operations of the Company, which such Income Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed by Seller). Any such Tax Returns prepared by Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Tax law, be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous Tax Returns filed in respect of the Company. Buyer shall permit Seller to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least thirty (30) days prior to filing. In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller regarding items set forth on the Tax Returns described in this Section 5.15(a)(i), Buyer and Seller shall, in good faith, use their best efforts to agree on such items. Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of the Taxes with respect to such Tax Returns as agreed upon by Seller and Buyer within five days following any demand by Buyer for such payment.

(ii) Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. Any such Tax Returns prepared by Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Tax law, be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous Tax Returns filed in respect of Company, as the case may be. Buyer shall permit Seller to review and comment on such Tax Returns at least thirty (30) days prior to filing. In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller regarding items set forth on the Tax Returns described in this Section 5.15(a)(ii), Buyer and Seller shall, in good faith, use their best efforts to agree on such items. Seller shall pay to Buyer, within five days following any demand by Buyer, with respect to such Tax Returns, an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes shown to be due on such Tax Returns (as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller) which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date (as determined pursuant to Section 5.15(c) hereof).

(iii) Seller’s Responsibilities. Seller will include or have included in the consolidated federal income Tax Return of the Seller for all periods or portions thereof through the Closing Date the income of the Company (including any deferred income from intercompany transactions triggered into income by Section 1.1502-13 of the Treasury regulations and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Section 1.1502-19 of the Treasury regulations) for all such periods and will pay or cause to be paid any federal income Taxes attributable to such income.

(b) Cooperation in Filing Tax Returns. Buyer and Seller shall, and shall each cause its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, provide to the other such cooperation and information, as

- 35 -

and to the extent reasonably requested, in connection with the filing of any Tax Return, amended Tax Return or claim for refund, determining liability for Taxes or a right to refund of Taxes, or in conducting any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of all relevant portions of relevant Tax Returns, together with relevant accompanying schedules and relevant work papers, relevant documents relating to rulings and other determinations by taxing authorities, and relevant records concerning the ownership and Tax basis of property, which any such party may possess. Each party will retain all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers, and all material records and other documents relating to Tax matters, of the Company for the Tax period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior Tax periods until the later of either (i) the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (and, to the extent notice is provided with respect thereto, any extensions thereof) for the Tax periods to which the Tax Returns and other documents relate or (ii) eight years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns. Thereafter, the party holding such Tax Returns or other documents may dispose of them provided that such party shall give to the other party the notice described in Section 10.1 prior to doing so. Each party shall make its employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis at its cost to provide explanation of any documents or information so provided.

(i) If the Company is permitted but not required under applicable state, local, or foreign income tax laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, then the parties shall treat that day as the last day of a taxable period.

(ii) In the case of Taxes arising in a taxable period of the Company that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the allocation of such Taxes between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period shall be made as provided in Section 5.15(c)(iii). “Post-Closing Period” means any taxable period or portion thereof beginning after the Closing Date. If a taxable period begins on or prior to the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, then the portion of the taxable period that begins on the day following the Closing Date shall constitute a Post-Closing Period. “Pre-Closing Period” means any taxable period or portion thereof that is not a Post-Closing Period. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of this Section 5.15(c)(ii), any Tax resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any Taxes resulting from a Section 338(h)(10) election) and any Tax resulting from the departure of the Company from a Relevant Group (resulting from the triggering into income of items from deferred intercompany transactions under Section 1.1502-13 of the Treasury regulations or excess loss accounts under Section 1.1502-19 of the Treasury regulations or otherwise) is attributable to the Pre-Closing Period.

(iii) In the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall (A) in the case of any Taxes, other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period, and (B) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which

- 36 -

would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the end of the Closing Date, that is, on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the end of the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company.

(d) Section 338(h)(10) Elections; Election Allocations.

(iv) At Buyer’s request, Seller will join with Buyer in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign law, or elections corresponding to Section 338(g) of the Code and corresponding elections under state, local or foreign law) with respect to the Company chosen by Buyer (each, a “Section 338(h)(10) Election”). Seller will pay any Taxes of the Seller resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(v) As requested from time to time by Buyer (after the Closing, Seller shall assist Buyer in, and shall provide the necessary information to Buyer, in connection with the preparation of any form or document required to effect a valid and timely Section 338(h)(10) Election, including IRS Form 8883, IRS Form 8023, any similar form under state, local or other law and any schedules or attachments thereto (collectively, “Section 338 Forms”). Upon delivery of any Section 338 Form by Buyer to Seller, Seller shall cause such Section 338 Form to be duly and promptly executed and shall deliver such executed Section 338 Form to Buyer. If Buyer determines that any change is to be made in a Section 338 Form previously executed and delivered to Buyer, then Buyer may prepare a new Section 338 Form and deliver such new Section 338 Form to Seller, and Seller shall cause such Section 338 Form to be duly and promptly executed and shall deliver such executed Section 338 Form to Buyer.

(vi) The portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the stock of each Election Corporation shall be allocated further in the manner described in this Section 5.15(d)(iii). “Election Corporation” means the Company to the extent that the Company is subject to a Section 338(h)(10) Election. With respect to each Section 338(h)(10) Election, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Buyer shall determine (A) the aggregate deemed sales price at which an Election Corporation is deemed to have sold its assets for Tax purposes as a result of a Section 338(h)(10) Election (“ADSP”) and (B) the allocation of ADSP among the assets of the Election Corporation as applicable (collectively, the “Election Allocations”). The Election Allocations shall be determined in accordance with Section 338 of the Code and the applicable Treasury regulations thereunder. At least 30 days prior to the latest date for the filing of each Section 338 Form, Buyer shall prepare and submit to Seller for its review and comment such Section 338 Form setting forth, to the extent required therein, the Election Allocations. In the event of any disagreement between Buyer and Seller regarding the Election Allocations, Buyer and Seller shall, in good faith, use their best efforts to agree on such items. Any such resolution shall be final and binding on all of the parties hereto. Except as may be required by law, each of the parties hereto will (1) file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Election Allocations and (2) not take any action inconsistent therewith.

- 37 -

(e) Carryovers, Refunds, and Related Matters.

(vii) Any refund of Taxes (including any interest thereon) that relates to the Company and that is attributable to a Post-Closing Period shall be the property of the Company, and shall be retained by the Company (or promptly paid by Seller to the Company if any such refund (or interest thereon) is received by Seller or any of its respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates). Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence but except as provided in Section 5.15(e)(ii), any such refund or other benefit realized by the Company in a Post-Closing Period that results from the carryforward of any Tax attribute from a Pre-Closing Period shall be the property of the Company and shall be retained by the Company.

(viii) If (A) after the Closing Date, the Company receives a refund of any Tax that is attributable to a Pre-Closing Period (for the avoidance of doubt, a refund that results from the carryforward of a Tax attribute from a Pre-Closing Period as provided in Section 5.15(e)(i) is not considered attributable to a Pre-Closing Period), (B) the Tax was paid by (1) a Seller Party on or after the Closing Date or (2) a Seller Party or the Company prior to the Closing Date, and (C) Section 5.15(e)(iv) does not apply, then the Company promptly shall pay or cause to be paid to Seller the amount of such refund together with any interest thereon. “Seller Party” means the Seller and any Subsidiary or Affiliate of Seller, other than the Company.

(ix) In applying Section 5.15(e)(i) and Section 5.15(e)(ii), any refund of Taxes (including any interest thereon) for a taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Period and the Post-Closing Period in accordance with Section 5.15(c).

(x) If any item of loss or credit of the Company (or successor thereto) for a Post-Closing Period is carried back to a Pre-Closing Period, is used or otherwise absorbed and results in a refund or a reduction of Taxes otherwise payable, then Seller will, within ten Business Days following the receipt of any such refund, notice of credit against Tax, or other final Tax benefit, pay the portion of such refund or benefit attributable to such carryback to the Company. Seller shall not be obligated or required in any respect to seek such refund or benefit at Buyer’s request, including through the filing of amended Tax Returns or claims for refund.

(xi) In the event that the Company (or successor thereto) realizes any item of loss or credit for Tax purposes for any Post-Closing Period, the Company may, in its sole discretion, carry forward such loss or credit.

(f) Payment of Transfer Taxes and Fees. Seller shall pay all Transfer Taxes arising out of or in connection with the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Buyer, Buyer’s Affiliates including, following the Closing, the Company with respect to such Transfer Taxes.

(g) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax allocation or sharing agreements or other agreements or arrangements binding the Company shall be terminated with respect to the Company as of the day before the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be obligated to make any payment to any Seller Party or Affiliate, taxing authority or other Person pursuant to any such agreement or arrangement for any past or future period.

- 38 -

(h) Amended Tax Returns. Buyer shall not amend, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to amend, any Tax Return of the Company pertaining to a Pre-Closing Period without the prior written consent of Seller.

(i) Audits and Other Proceedings.

(A) Following the Closing Date, if an audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding is initiated by any Tax authority with respect to Taxes of the Company for which Seller may have an indemnification obligation under Section 7.1, Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall promptly notify Seller of such audit or proceeding, stating the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known. Failure to give such notice shall not relieve Seller from any indemnification obligation which it may have with respect to Section 7.1, except to the extent that Seller is prejudiced thereby. Seller will have the right, at its option, to control the conduct of all stages of such audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding with representatives of its own choosing with respect to Taxes of Company for which Seller may have an indemnification obligation under Section 7.1. At such time as such request is received by Buyer, Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, will furnish Seller and/or its representatives with powers of attorney or any other documentation or authorization necessary or appropriate to enable Seller and/or its representatives to control the conduct of such audit or other proceeding. Buyer shall control the conduct of all stages of all other audits or other administrative or judicial proceedings with respect to Taxes of the Company. Buyer and the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates to, accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise regarding any Taxes of the Company for which Seller may have an indemnification obligation under Section 7.1 without the express written consent of Seller.

(B) With respect to any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding that it controls, Seller (x) shall give prompt notice to Buyer of any Tax adjustment proposed in writing pursuant to any audit or other administrative or judicial proceeding controlled by Seller with respect to the assets or activities of the Company, and (y) shall not accept any proposed adjustment or enter into any settlement or agreement in compromise which would bind Buyer or the Company with respect to any Taxes of the Company (other than any such Taxes for which Seller may have an indemnification obligation under Section 7.1) without the express written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(j) Payment of Compensation. The parties hereto agree to treat the payment of any bonuses or other compensation payable to employees of the Company on the Closing Date as not being allocable to the Post-Closing Period and accordingly, any income tax deduction related to such payment shall be for the Company’s account for the taxable period (or any portion thereof) ending on the Closing Date.

5.16 Maintenance of Books and Records. Buyer shall preserve until the later of (i) the seventh (7^th) anniversary of the Closing Date or (ii) the date required by applicable laws mandating the retention of books and records related to a particular matter (such as tax, employment or environmental records), all books and records possessed or to be possessed by Buyer relating to any of the assets, liabilities or operations of the Company prior to the Closing

- 39 -

Date. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer any books and records discovered by Seller that were not delivered to Buyer on the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, where there is a legitimate purpose, Buyer shall provide Seller and its representatives with access, upon prior reasonable written request specifying the need therefor, during regular business hours, to (i) the officers and employees of Buyer and the Company and (ii) the books of account and records of the Company, but, in each case, only to the extent relating to the assets, liabilities or operations of the Company, and Seller and its representatives shall have the right to make copies of such books and records; provided, however, the foregoing right of access shall not be exercisable in such a manner as to interfere unreasonably with the normal operations and business of Buyer or the Company. Such records may nevertheless be destroyed by Buyer if Buyer sends to the Seller written notice of its intent to destroy records, specifying with particularity the contents of the records to be destroyed. Such records may then be destroyed after the 60th day after such notice is given unless Seller objects to the destruction in which case Buyer shall deliver such records to Seller.

5.17 Use of Licensed Names. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, for a period of one (1) year following the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), Buyer hereby grants to Seller and to Seller’s Affiliates, a royalty-free, nonassignable right and license within the territory in which Seller currently uses the name “Archway Marketing Services” to use any of the Company’s trademarks, service marks, trade-names, logos and trade dress (and registrations and applications related to the foregoing) that contain or reference the names and marks “Archway Marketing Services” (collectively, the “Licensed Names”), solely for use in connection with the Seller’s remaining business consistent with existing practice, including, without limitation, such use of the Licensed Names on any business cards, stationary, letterheads, sales orders, purchase orders, signs, shipping, and invoicing documentation, and all other reasonable operational materials, provided however the Seller will ensure within 60 days of closing that any materials will modify the Licensed Names to distinguish Seller from the Company and Buyer with Consumer Services or other mutually agreed upon designation. Seller agrees that upon the expiration of the Transition Period, it shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) cease to make any use of the Licensed Names or any trademark confusingly similar thereto or dilutive thereof. Seller shall provide prompt written notification to Buyer of any material infringement of the Licensed Names or any claims of infringement made by third parties with respect to the Licensed Names of which Seller receives knowledge during the Transition Period. Seller shall ensure that the Licensed Names are used under the foregoing license in a manner that maintains the reputation and goodwill associated with the Licensed Names.

5.18 Release of Guarantees. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have any guaranty of the obligations of the Company, whether direct or indirect, by AHL, Seller or any of their respective affiliates that are set forth on Schedule 5.18, released (the “Seller Guarantees”).

ARTICLE VII

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnification. (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII (including without limitation the limitations set forth in Section 7.4), Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against any and all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Seller contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or any certificate delivered by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto in connection with the Closing; and

- 44 -

(ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article VII, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its respective representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Seller Indemnitees”) against any and all Losses asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon, or incurred by any Seller Indemnitee by reason of, arising out of or resulting from:

(i) the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement, any Schedule or any certificate delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to this Agreement with respect hereto or thereto in connection with the Closing;

(ii) the non-fulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) any claim on account of the Seller Guarantees or any other guarantees of the Company’s obligations by AHL or Seller or any of their respective affiliates arising from any existing leases of the Company.

(c) As used in this Article VII, the term “Losses” shall include all losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, interest, penalties, court costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses) including those arising from any demands, claims, suits, actions, costs of investigation, notices of violation or noncompliance, causes of action, proceedings and assessments whether or not made by third parties or whether or not ultimately determined to be valid, except, in each case, to the extent set forth in Section 7.4. Solely for the purpose of determining the amount of any Losses (and not for determining any breach) for which any party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Article VII, any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that is qualified by a term or terms such as “material,” “materially,” or “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed made or given without such qualification and without giving effect to such words.

7.2 Indemnification of Third Party Claims. The indemnification obligations and liabilities under this Article VII with respect to actions, proceedings, lawsuits, investigations, demands or other claims brought against Buyer by a Person other than the Company (a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) Notice of Claim. Buyer will give Seller prompt written notice after receiving written notice of any Third Party Claim or discovering the liability, obligation or facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (a “Notice of Claim”) which Notice of Claim shall set forth

- 45 -

(i) a brief description of the nature of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the total amount of the actual out-of-pocket Loss or the anticipated potential Loss (including any costs or expenses which have been or may be reasonably incurred in connection therewith), and (iii) whether such Loss may be covered (in whole or in part) under any insurance and the estimated amount of such Loss which may be covered under such insurance, and shall be entitled to participate in the defense of Third Party Claim at its expense.

(b) Defense. Seller shall have the right, at its option (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.2(c) below) at its own expense, by written notice to Buyer, to assume the entire control of, subject to the right of Buyer to participate (at its expense and with counsel of its choice) in, the defense, compromise or settlement of the Third Party Claim as to which such Notice of Claim has been given, and shall be entitled to appoint a recognized and reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to Buyer to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense. If Seller is permitted and elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim:

(i) Seller shall diligently and in good faith defend such Third Party Claim and shall keep Buyer reasonably informed of the status of such defense; provided, however, that in the case of any settlement providing for remedies other than monetary damages for which indemnification is provided, Buyer shall have the right to approve the settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld; and

(ii) Buyer shall cooperate fully in all respects with Seller in any such defense, compromise or settlement thereof, including, without limitation, the selection of counsel, and Buyer shall make available to the Seller all pertinent information and documents under its control.

(c) Limitations of Right to Assume Defense. Seller shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (i) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against Buyer; or (iii) there is a reasonable probability that a Third Party Claim may materially and adversely affect Buyer other than as a result of money damages or other money payments.

(d) Other Limitations. Failure to give prompt Notice of Claim or to provide copies of relevant available documents or to furnish relevant available data shall not affect the Seller’s duty or obligations under this Article VII, except to the extent (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have adversely affected the ability of Seller to defend against or reduce the Seller’s liability or caused or increased such liability or otherwise caused the damages for which Seller is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had Buyer given Seller prompt notice hereunder. So long as Seller is defending any such action in good faith, Buyer shall not settle such action. Buyer shall make available to Seller all relevant records and other relevant materials required by them and in the possession or under the control of Buyer, for the use of Seller and its representatives in defending any such action, and shall in other respects give reasonable cooperation in such defense.

(e) Failure to Defend. If Seller, promptly after receiving a Notice of Claim, fails to defend such Third Party Claim in good faith, Buyer will (upon further written notice)

- 46 -

have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim as it may determine in its reasonable discretion, provided that Seller shall have the right to approve any settlement, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(f) Buyer’s Rights. Anything in this Section 7.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller shall not, without the written consent of Buyer, settle or compromise any action or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to Buyer of a full and unconditional release from all liability and obligation in respect of such action without any payment by Buyer.

7.3 Insurance Effect. To the extent that any Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII are covered by insurance, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the maximum recovery under such insurance; provided that Buyer shall nevertheless be entitled to bring a claim for indemnification under this Article VII in respect of such Losses and the time limitations set forth in Section 7.4 hereof for bringing a claim of indemnification under this Agreement shall be tolled during the pendency of such insurance claim. The existence of a claim by Buyer for monies from an insurer or against a third party in respect of any Loss shall not, however, delay any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing. If Buyer has received the payment required by this Agreement from Seller in respect of any Loss and later receives proceeds from insurance or other amounts in respect of such Loss, then it shall hold such proceeds or other amounts in trust for the benefit of Seller and shall pay to Seller, as promptly as practicable after receipt, a sum equal to the amount of such proceeds or other amount received, up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from the Escrow Account pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Loss. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that no insurer or any other third party shall be (i) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions, or (ii) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated.

7.4 Limitations on Indemnification. (a) Survival: Time Limitation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller in this Agreement (including the certificates required to be delivered pursuant to Article VI) shall survive the Closing until one year after the Closing (the “Survival Period”), except that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.18 shall survive as long as the applicable statutes of limitations with respect to such representations and warranties. The indemnification and other obligations under this Article VII shall survive for the same Survival Period and shall terminate with the expiration of such Survival Period, except that: (i) any claims for breach of representation or warranty made by a party hereunder shall be preserved until final resolution thereof despite the subsequent expiration of the Survival Period and (ii) any claims set forth in a Notice of Claim sent prior to the expiration of such Survival Period shall survive until final resolution thereof. Except as set forth in clause (ii) above, no claim for indemnification under this Article VII shall be brought after the end of the Survival Period.

(b) Basket. No amount shall be payable under Section 7.1(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of all indemnifiable Losses otherwise payable exceeds $100,000 in the aggregate (the “Basket”), in which event the amount payable shall be for such Losses back to the

- 47 -

first dollar, provided that the limitations set forth in this Section 7.4(b) shall not apply to any Loss based on any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.3, 2.4, 2.18 and 2.19.

(c) Aggregate Amount Limitation. The aggregate liability for Losses pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall not in any event exceed the Escrow Amount, and Buyer shall have no claim against Seller other than for the Escrow Amount; provided that the limitations set forth in this Section 7.4(c) shall not apply to any Loss based on any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.1, 2.3 and 2.4.

(d) Limitations on Damages. In no event shall any Buyer Indemnified Party be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or otherwise for any Losses or other amounts that are consequential, in the nature of lost profits, diminution in the value of property, special exemplary or punitive or otherwise not actual damages. Each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall use reasonable commercial efforts to pursue all legal rights and remedies available in order to minimize the Losses for which indemnification is provided to it under this Article VII. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, Buyer shall not be entitled to recover under this Article VII for Losses related to any item that was taken into account in determining Purchase Price adjustments pursuant to Sections 1.1(c), 1.4 and 1.5 hereof.

(e) Knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each party (a “Subject Party”) hereby agrees that by proceeding with the Closing, it shall be conclusively deemed to have waived for all purposes hereunder any claim under this Article VII with respect to the inaccuracy or breach of a representation or warranty by another party which is actually known by the Subject Party prior to the Closing.

7.5 Exclusive Remedy. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, its sole remedy with respect to any and all claims for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be pursuant and subject to the requirements of the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 7.4(c), Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its sole recourse for claims made pursuant to this Article VII shall be to the Escrow Amount.

(e) by Buyer, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Seller shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Article VI would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such breach is curable by Seller prior to the Closing Date, then Buyer may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(e) for thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from Buyer to Seller of such breach, provided Seller continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(e) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by Seller is cured during such thirty (30)-day period); or

In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as

reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

10.6 Other Remedies; Specific Performance. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware regardless of the law that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.8 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

10.9 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that Buyer may upon notice to the Seller assign, in whole but not in part, all of its rights and cause the assumption of all of the obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Buyer able to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided that such assignment and assumption shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 10.9, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.10 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties.

10.11 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. Delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor the Company has made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the Company or as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Company furnished or made available to Buyer and its representatives, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, and neither the Company nor Seller shall have or be subject to any liability to Buyer or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Buyer, or Buyer’s use or reliance on, any such information, documents or material made available to Buyer in any “data rooms,” “virtual data rooms,” management presentations or in any form in expectation of, or in connection with, the transactions contemplated hereby.
