(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall assume, pay, perform in accordance with their terms or otherwise satisfy, as of the Closing Date, the liabilities of Sellers set forth in Schedule 1.3, subject to the last sentence in Section 1.3(b), including the following (the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(i) All of the obligations of Sellers under the permits, licenses and governmental approvals set forth in Section 1.1(m), the contracts and agreements set forth in Section 1.1(e), including without limitation any cancellation charges, liabilities or penalties in the event that Buyer elects to terminate or cease performance under such contracts or agreements;

(ii) All obligations and liabilities arising out of events occurring from and after the Closing Date related to the ownership of the Assets or the conduct of the Business from and after the Closing Date, including without limitation property taxes due and payable with respect to periods from and after the Closing Date; and

(iii) Any obligations and liabilities resulting from or associated with the termination by Buyer (or its permitted assigns) of employment on or after the Closing Date, or otherwise in connection with this transaction, of any employee of the Business or the failure of Buyer (or its permitted assigns) to offer employment to all of the employees of the Business as provided in Section 6.4 other than those listed on Schedule 1.2 or to otherwise comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 6.4.

(b) Nothing in this Agreement will be construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any lease, contract or other agreement or any license which cannot be assigned, transferred, subleased or sublicensed without the consent or waiver of the party or parties thereto (other than Sellers) or any third party (including a government or governmental unit) unless such consent or waiver has been obtained, or if such assignment, transfer, sublease or sublicense or attempt to assign, transfer, sublease or sublicense would constitute a breach thereof or a violation of any law, decree, order, regulation or other governmental edict, this Agreement will not constitute an assignment, transfer, sublease or sublicense thereof. Sellers will use all reasonable efforts prior to and, if necessary with respect to the Assets after, the Closing, to obtain such consents, if any, as may be required for the assignment or transfer by Sellers of the Assets. Buyer will cooperate with Sellers, in such manner as may be reasonably requested, in connection therewith. If any such consent is not obtained prior to the Closing, then Sellers and Buyer will use all reasonable efforts to enter into an arrangement with respect to any such lease, contract, agreement or license to provide Buyer with all of the benefits enjoyed by Sellers under any such license, lease, contract or other agreement, and Buyer will perform all of the obligations under such licenses, leases, contracts and other agreements as though they had been assigned to Buyer, unless and until such licenses, leases, contracts and other agreements have been terminated or as a result of Sellers’ failure to obtain the consent or waiver of the party or parties thereto, default occurs under such licenses, leases, contracts and other agreements (and Sellers’ default continues uncured and deprives Buyer of the use and enjoyment of the Assets subject to the license, lease, contract or other agreement).

Section 1.4 Excluded Liabilities. Other than as set forth above in Section 1.3, Seller shall retain, and Buyer shall not assume, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an assumption by Buyer of, any liabilities, obligations or undertakings of Sellers of any nature whatsoever, whether accrued, absolute, fixed or contingent, known or unknown, due or to become due, unliquidated or otherwise. Sellers shall be responsible for all of the liabilities, obligations and undertakings of Sellers not assumed by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof, including without limitation:

(a) Any obligations under the contracts or agreements arising from a breach thereby prior to the Closing Date;

(b) Any liability or obligation relating to the Plans;

(c) Any liability for Taxes arising as a result of Sellers’ operation of the Business or ownership of the Assets prior to the Closing Date;

(d) Any Environmental Liabilities. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Environmental Liabilities” shall mean any and all claims, demands, complaints, allegations, actions, suits, proceedings, investigations or notice by any person or entity alleging potential liabilities arising under or based upon or relating to Environmental Laws or the release of Hazardous Materials prior to the Closing Date, even if first discovered or continuing after the Closing Date; and

(e) All Worker’s Compensation Claims against Sellers to the extent relating to matters occurring prior to the Closing, including, without limitation, those Worker’s Compensation Claims set forth on Schedule 4.18.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE PRICE

Section 2.1 Amount.

(a) Subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.1(b) and Section 2.1(c), the total purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for the Assets shall be Seven Million Two Hundred and Nine Thousand Dollars ($7,209,000), plus the value of the Assumed Liabilities. The Purchase Price shall be comprised of:

(i) $5,759,000 in cash (the “Cash Portion”), subject to the Book Value Adjustment (as defined below) and the Post-Closing Adjustment (as defined below), plus

(ii) a three-year 12% subordinated secured promissory note, in form and substance as set forth in Exhibit A, payable to Sellers in the amount of $1,450,000 (the “Promissory Note”), plus

(iii) the assumption of the other Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Sellers have previously prepared and delivered to Buyer the balance sheet of the Business as of May 31, 2004 attached hereto as Schedule 2.1(b)(x) (the “Preliminary Balance Sheet”) and have attached hereto as Schedule 2.1(b)(y) a preliminary valuation balance sheet (the “Preliminary Valuation Balance Sheet”) with such adjustments setting forth, in reasonable detail, a calculation of the valuation net tangible asset value of the Business (the “Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value”) as of May 31, 2004 and the resulting Purchase Price. Within 15 days following the Closing Date, Sellers shall

prepare and deliver to Buyer a balance sheet of the Business as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and with such adjustments applied in a manner consistent with the Preliminary Valuation Balance Sheet to determine the Valuation Net Asset Tangible Value as of such date (the “Closing Valuation Balance Sheet”). If the Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value of the Business as of the date of the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet and calculated in accordance therewith is above $7,209,000, then the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value over $7,209,000, and if the Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value of the Business as of the date of the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet is below $7,209,000, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount that such Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value is less than $7,209,000 (such increase or reduction to be reflected in the Cash Portion being referred to hereinafter as the “Net Tangible Asset Value Adjustment”). The Preliminary Balance Sheet and the Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared by Sellers in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) and shall be certified as true and correct as of May 31, 2004 and the date of the Closing Balance Sheet, respectively, by an officer of Seller. The Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value set forth on the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet shall include a net property, plant and equipment value of $5,024,000 (the “Equipment Value”).

(c) McGladrey & Xxxxxx, LLP or such other independent accounting firm engaged by Buyer at Buyer’s sole expense (which shall not be the Unrelated Accounting Firm referred to below) shall have the opportunity to examine, promptly as and when prepared, the work papers, schedules and other documents prepared by Sellers in connection with their preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value as of the date of the Closing; provided, that the GAAP assumptions and calculations utilized by McGladrey & Xxxxxx, LLP or such other independent accounting firm will be based upon and consistent with the GAAP assumptions utilized by Sellers prior to the Closing with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and adjustments utilized by Sellers with respect to the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet. Within 30 days following the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet, Buyer may deliver to Sellers a notice of objection (an “Objection Notice”) with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Valuation Net Tangible Asset Value as of the date of the Closing. If no Objection Notice is delivered to Sellers within such 30 day period, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Net Tangible Asset Value Adjustment, if any, shall be final and binding on the parties. Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items on the Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet disputed and shall describe in reasonable detail the basis for the objection and all information in the possession of the objecting party which forms the basis thereof, as well as the amount in dispute. In no event shall the Objection Notice relate to or be based upon the Equipment Value or the valuation adjustments (i.e., those adjustments set forth under the heading “Valuation Adjustments” included on Schedule 2.1(b)(y)) employed to prepare the Preliminary Valuation Balance Sheet and to prepare the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet. If an Objection Notice is given, Sellers and Buyer shall consult with each other with respect to the objection. If the parties are unable to reach agreement within 15 days

after an Objection Notice has been given, any unresolved disputed items shall be promptly referred to a mutually acceptable independent public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in accordance with Section 102 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 (the “Unrelated Accounting Firm”). The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be directed to render a written report on the unresolved disputed issues with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Valuation Balance Sheet within 30 days following its retention and to resolve only those issues of dispute set forth in the Objection Notice. If unresolved disputed issues are submitted to the Unrelated Accounting Firm, Sellers and Buyer will each promptly furnish to the Unrelated Accounting Firm such work papers, schedules and other documents relating to the unresolved disputed issues as the Unrelated Accounting Firm may reasonably request. The resolution of the dispute by the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Unrelated Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by Sellers and Buyer. If the parties or the Unrelated Accounting Firm determine that an adjustment under this Section 2.1(c) (a “Post-Closing Adjustment”) is appropriate, then payment of the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 10 days after the determination of the Post-Closing Adjustment by the party owing such amount to the party entitled to receive the Post-Closing Adjustment;

Section 2.2 Manner of Payment. Buyer shall pay the Cash Portion of the Purchase Price for the Assets to Sellers on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as Sellers may designate in writing to Buyer no later than two business days before the Closing Date.

Section 2.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. Buyer and Sellers shall allocate the Purchase Price among the Assets as set forth on Schedule 2.3 hereto. Schedule 2.3 shall be updated as of the Closing Date to reflect the Book Value Adjustment and, no later than 90 business days after the Closing Date, to reflect the Post-Closing Adjustment as determined in Section 2.1, in each event by Buyer and Sellers in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations and the fair market value of the Assets. The parties do hereby agree that they will not voluntarily take any position on any Tax Returns (as defined in Section 4.13(e)) inconsistent with the allocation set forth on Schedule 2.3, as adjusted for any Post-Closing Adjustment hereunder. The parties hereby agree to prepare and timely file all applicable forms concerning the allocation of the Purchase Price with the Internal Revenue Service and any other government authority consistent with the allocation, as adjusted for any Purchase Price adjustments hereunder, to cooperate with each other in the preparation of such forms, and to furnish each other with a copy of such forms prepared in draft, within a reasonable period prior to the filing due date thereof. Buyer and Seller shall jointly prepare for filing all Tax Returns that may be required with respect to the transaction provided for herein pursuant to Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), any Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, any other applicable provision of the Code and any other similar applicable foreign, state or local tax law or regulation.

Section 4.1 Incorporation and Corporate Power.

Each Seller is qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business in each jurisdiction in which the business

For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any one or more events, conditions or circumstances that result in, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on (a) the business, operations, financial or operating condition, assets or properties of the Business, (b) the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (c) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement.

Section 4.2 Subsidiaries. The Assets do not include any stock, partnership interest, joint venture interest or any other security or ownership interest issued by any other corporation, organization or entity.

Section 4.3 Execution, Delivery; Valid and Binding Agreement.

Section 4.4 Authority; No Breach. Seller has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Seller and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby do not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the provisions of, or constitute a default under, result in a violation of, result in the creation of a right of termination or acceleration or any lien, security interest, charge, or encumbrance upon any of the Assets or require any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by or notice to any court or other governmental body, under the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation or Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable, or Bylaws of Seller or any indenture, mortgage, lease, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument by which Seller or the Assets are bound or affected (other than consents required under Section 7.1(d) hereof, which Seller undertakes to obtain prior to the Closing Date) or any law, statute, rule or regulation or order, judgment or decree to which Seller or the Assets are subject, other than any breach, default or violation that is not reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.5 Governmental Authorities; Consents. Seller is not required to submit any notice, report or other filing with any governmental authority in connection with the execution or delivery by it of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, no consent, approval or authorization of any governmental or regulatory authority is required to be obtained by Seller in connection with its execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

Section 4.6 Financial Statements. Seller has delivered to Buyer copies of the financial statements listed on Schedule 4.6 (such statements being herein referred to as the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements are based upon the information contained in the books

ARTICLE VIII

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

Section 8.1 Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation; Nondisclosure.

(a) Noncompetition. During the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fourth anniversary thereof (such period being hereinafter referred to as the “Restricted Period”), Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly, engage in any manner or capacity (e.g., as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, member, joint venturer, officer,

director, stockholder, employee, equity holder, lender, member of any association or otherwise) in a Competing Business. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term”Competing Business” shall mean any entity or business venture that is engaged in a not incidental manner in the business of providing commercial print and direct mail services (as defined below) for charities, not-for-profit organizations and for-profit organizations, but in no event shall such term be deemed to prohibit (i) the provision of critical mail services (as defined below) by Sellers or any of the entities described above in this Section 8.1(a) or (ii) commercial print direct and mail services in an aggregate annual amount not exceeding $3,000,000 during the Restricted Period and undertaken on an unsolicited basis by a Seller or any such entity described above in this Section 8.1(a) at the request of a party for which it is providing critical mail services. The term “commercial print and direct mail services” as used in this Agreement shall mean direct marketing and fulfillment services and related (primarily 3^rd class) outgoing mail services, but shall not include “critical mail services,” which constitute the receipt of information from clients, the processing and formatting of such information and the subsequent delivery or communication (primarily by first class mail) of that information to the clients’ customers, with such information or communications as invoices, statements, customer service and related collection activities.

(b) Indirect Competition. Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly, assist or encourage any other person in carrying out, directly or indirectly, any activity that would be prohibited by the above provisions of this Section 8.1, if such activity were carried out by Sellers, either directly or indirectly. In particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, induce any employee to carry out, directly or indirectly, any such activity.

(c) Geographic Extent of Covenant. The obligations of each Seller under this Section 8.1 shall apply to any geographic area in which such Seller (i) has engaged in business prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement through the providing of its services, promotional, sales or marketing activity or otherwise or (ii) has otherwise established its goodwill, business reputation or any customer or supplier relations.

(d) Nonsolicitation. During the Restricted Period, Sellers shall not (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Buyer to leave the employ of Buyer or any of its Affiliates or in any way interfere adversely with the relationship between any such employee and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, (ii) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Buyer to work for, render services or provide advice to or supply confidential business information or trade secrets of any such entity to any third person, firm or corporation, (iii) employ, or otherwise pay for services rendered by, any employee of Buyer in any business enterprise with which Sellers may be associated, connected or affiliated, (iv) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Sellers prior to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to cease doing commercial print and direct mail business with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or in any way interfere with the commercial print and direct mail relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other

business relation and Buyer or (v) directly or indirectly solicit, sell or render commercial print and direct mail services to or for the benefit of any entity that competes with any phase of the Business as conducted by Sellers or under active consideration by Sellers prior to the Closing Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, (i) the term “Affiliate” shall mean a person, partnership, limited liability company, corporation, joint venture, association, joint stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or other entity (each a “Person”) that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with the Person specified (for the purposes of this definition, control and all permutations thereof, means the ability of a Person to, directly or indirectly, direct the business and affairs of such Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise).

(e) Nondisclosure. Sellers shall not communicate or divulge to, or use for the benefit of, any person, firm or corporation other than Buyer, its agents and representatives, any of the trade secrets, methods, formulas, business and/or marketing plans, processes, names of customers, their products and prices or any other proprietary information included in the Assets, which is not generally ascertainable from public or published information or trade sources, other than as may be necessary in connection with judicial or administrative proceedings or claims under Article IX or as may be required in order to comply with applicable governmental laws, rules or regulations. Buyer acknowledges that prior to the date hereof Sellers have communicated information to other potential purchasers of the Assets or as reasonably necessary for operations that are not related to the Business, some of which information might be considered of a nature described in this Section 8.1, and that such communications shall not be deemed to violate this Section 8.1.

(f) Acknowledgment. Each Seller acknowledges that (i) the restrictions and agreements contained in this Section 8.1 are a material inducement to Buyer entering into this Agreement and are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and (ii) any violation of this Section 8.1 will cause substantial and irreparable harm to Buyer that would not be quantifiable and for which no adequate remedy would exist at law. Accordingly, without limiting the remedies available to Buyer, injunctive relief shall be available for any violation of this Section 8.1.

(g) Blue Pencil Doctrine. If the duration or geographical extent of, or business activities covered by, this Section 8.1 are in excess of what is valid and enforceable under applicable law, then such provision shall be construed to cover only that duration, geographical extent or activities that are valid and enforceable. Sellers acknowledge the uncertainty of the law in this respect and expressly stipulate that this Agreement is to be given the construction which renders its provisions valid and enforceable to the maximum extent (not exceeding its express terms) possible under applicable law.

Section 8.2 Certain Assignments. If Sellers do not obtain the consent of any third party to the assignment of a contract, operating lease or other agreement (each of the foregoing being referred to in this Section 8.2 as an “Operating Agreement”) which constitutes an “Asset” under Section 1.1 hereof and which, according to its terms, is not assignable without the consent

of such third party, and if the Operating Agreement is assigned to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and the third party thereafter raises objections to the assignment and refuses to allow Buyer to perform the Operating Agreement on the terms therein provided, or threatens to terminate the Operating Agreement or sues for damages, Sellers and Buyer will cooperate with each other, and use all commercially reasonable efforts, so that the Operating Agreement can be performed by Buyer and the third party’s objection can thereby be vitiated. Such cooperation and commercially reasonable efforts may include Buyer and Sellers, rather than assigning the Operating Agreement, (i) entering into an arrangement (a so-called “Seconding Arrangement”), pursuant to which Sellers shall nominally perform the Operating Agreement and Buyer shall retain the economic benefits and detriments of the Operating Agreement or (ii) entering into a sublease of the Operating Agreement, in any event without cost to Sellers. If necessary to comply with this Section 8.2, Sellers shall maintain their corporate existence for such period of time as Buyer may reasonably request for a period extending up to six (6) months from the Closing Date.

Section 8.3 Name Change. Within twenty (20) days following the Closing, each Seller shall change its name to a name not containing any of the words “Creative Mailing”, “Mailing & Marketing” or “Global Direct”. At the request and sole expense of Buyer, Sellers shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to permit Buyer to qualify as a foreign or domestic entity to do business under either or both of the names set forth above and under any similar names in any state in which the Business is currently conducted.

Section 8.4 Tax Matters.

(a) The parties hereto shall cooperate with one another in the preparation of all Tax Returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any Taxes or transfer, recording, registration or other fees that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement that are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, or in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, the response to any inquiry by a taxing authority or security holder, the mailing or filing of any notice and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax Returns or any other filing required to be made with any taxing authority or any other matter related to Taxes. Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in the filing of any Tax Return, amended Return, claim for refund or in conducting any audit or other proceeding related to Taxes and involving the Assets prior to the Closing Date. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Taxing authorities. Each party shall make its employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide explanation of any documents or information provided hereunder. Sellers, upon written request by Buyer, will provide to Buyer such factual information that is in Sellers’ possession reasonably necessary for filing Tax Returns, Tax planning and contesting any Tax audit as Buyer may reasonably request with respect to the Assets (which information Sellers agree to maintain and preserve for a period of six (6) years from the Closing Date and at Buyer’s expense for such period thereafter as Buyer may request, with such additional period not to exceed two (2) years).

(b) Buyer agrees to: (i) retain within its possession all books and records and all other information regarding Taxes relating to the Assets or the conduct or operation of the Business for any taxable period or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Tax Information”), until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to Seller for such taxable periods (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof); (ii) maintain the Tax Information in such manner so as to enable Sellers to have access thereto on a basis that is commercially reasonable and mutually convenient to both Buyers and Seller; and (iii) not destroy any Tax Information without the prior written consent of Sellers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date or the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to Sellers for such Taxable periods (giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof), whichever is later.

(c) Seller shall: (i) file all Tax Returns and elections or information statements with respect to any liabilities for Taxes of Seller which affect the Assets and which, pursuant to applicable law, are required to be filed prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) promptly upon filing provide copies of any such Tax Returns, elections or information statement to Buyer.

(d) Seller shall not make any election with respect to Taxes, change an annual accounting period, adopt or change any accounting method, take any discretionary position with respect to Taxes, or file an amended Tax Return or any report or form with respect to Taxes of Seller which affects the Assets without prior consultation with and consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld), if such election, adoption, change, position or filing would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability of Buyer with respect to any period ending after the Closing Date.

(e) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be the responsibility of Buyer; provided, however, that if Buyer provides Sellers (i) prior to the Closing with a “Uniform Sales & Use Tax Certificate-Multijurisdiction” completed for Oklahoma and (ii) promptly following the Closing with a copy of Buyer’s Oklahoma Seller’s Permit, Transfer Taxes shall be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. Buyer will remit to Sellers its share of the Transfer Taxes (whether all of such Transfer Taxes or 50% thereof in accordance with the preceding sentence) by the later of (i) the fifteenth (15) day of the month following the month in which the Closing Date occurs or (ii) fifteen (15) days following the determination of the amounts due. Sellers will remit the aggregate amount of Transfer Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority by the due date of the Transfer Tax Return for the month in which the Closing Date shall occur. Sellers will file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, with the expenses for such Returns to be shared equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns that are required to be filed in connection with the Transfer Taxes described in this Section 8.4(e).

Section 8.5 Repurchase of Uncollectible Accounts Receivable. If Buyer shall fail to collect the aggregate full face amount of the Accounts Receivable set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet, net of such reserves set forth therefor on the Closing Balance Sheet, by one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Closing Date, then, upon written notice from Buyer, Sellers shall promptly acquire the uncollected Accounts Receivable by payment to Buyer of an amount in cash equal to all such uncollected Accounts Receivable less the amount of reserves therefor as shown on the Closing Balance Sheet. By means of illustration, in the event that $1,500,000 remains uncollected one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, and the Closing Balance Sheet has reserves therefor of $1,000,000, Sellers shall acquire such $1,500,000 of Accounts Receivable by payment to Buyer of $500,000 in cash. Buyer shall keep documentation in reasonable detail evidencing or setting forth its efforts to collect the Accounts Receivable during such one hundred twenty (120) day period and, at Sellers’ request, shall furnish to Sellers copies of such documentation for their review. Proceeds from Accounts Receivables collected after one hundred twenty (120) days from the date of the Closing and for which Buyer has received payment under this Section 8.5 shall be promptly and in any event within ten (10) business days of collection delivered by Buyer to Sellers. Buyer shall credit monies received by it from debtors doing business with Buyer after the Closing and included as an account debtor with respect to the Accounts Receivable in accordance with the remittance instructions or advice from the applicable account debtor if the account debtor specifically identifies the invoice being paid. Otherwise, said sums shall be applied to the oldest outstanding balance due from the account debtor. Every thirty (30) days following the Closing, Buyer shall provide Sellers with a schedule of the then-uncollected Accounts Receivable set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet, together with a summary of its collection efforts with respect thereto. Buyer shall not settle, compromise, write-down or write-off any Accounts Receivable without Sellers’ prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Sellers’ sole discretion.

Section 8.6 Agreements Concerning Real Property and Equipment Leases.

(a) Effective at the Closing Date, Sellers shall assign (or if they cannot effect such assignment, shall sublease) to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume and/or sublease from Sellers for the balance of the applicable lease terms, the Leased Real Property pursuant to assignments (and/or subleases) to be negotiated in good faith between Sellers and Buyer. Any sublease with respect to the foregoing leasehold premises shall provide that Buyer shall reimburse the applicable sublessor-Seller for all rents, costs and expenses (including common area maintenance, taxes, utilities and other items payable by the sublessor thereunder) incurred thereby and relating to such leasehold premises with respect to the lease term from and after the Closing Date. Sellers shall include in the Closing Balance Sheet a reserve of $550,000 to reflect such leased space.

(b) Buyer shall cooperate with Sellers and with the lessors of any leases relating to the personal property to effect the assignment or transfer of such leases to Buyer.

(c) Without the prior written consent of the applicable Seller or any affiliate thereof, which may be given or withheld in its sole discretion, Buyer shall have no authority to extend, amend or modify any leases with respect to the Leased Real Property without obtaining an unconditional release from the lessor of such Leased Real Property

of the applicable Seller and its affiliates with respect thereto (in which case no consent shall be necessary). In the event that Buyer desires to remain at any of the premises that are the subject of the Leased Real Property following the expiration of the current terms thereof, it shall give the applicable Seller prior notice in writing and shall negotiate directly with the lessor of such Leased Real Property with respect to execution of a new lease agreement between such lessor and Buyer for its own account, which new lease agreement shall not in any manner obligate either Seller or any affiliate thereof or be in any way based upon the credit or financial condition of either Seller or any affiliate thereof. Buyer shall use reasonable best efforts to remove SOURCECORP from any guaranties to lessors of the Leased Real Property and to replace letters of credit issued for the benefit of lessors of the Leased Real Property by SOURCECORP or any affiliate thereof with security otherwise acceptable to such lessors.

Section 8.7 Confidentiality. Each party hereto will hold, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates and their respective officers, directors and agents to hold, in strict confidence from any person, unless (i) compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law or (ii) disclosed in an action or proceeding brought by a party hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder, all documents and information concerning the other party or any of its affiliates furnished to it by any other party or such other party’s officers, directors and agents in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such documents or information can be shown to have been (a) previously known by the party receiving such documents or information, (b) in the public domain (either prior to or after the furnishing of such documents or information hereunder) through no fault of such receiving party or (c) later acquired by the receiving party from another source if the receiving party is not aware following reasonable inquiry that such source is under an obligation to another party hereto to keep such documents and information confidential; provided, however, that following the Closing the foregoing restrictions will not apply to Buyer’s or any of its affiliates’ use of documents and information concerning the Business. After the Closing, each Seller will hold, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its affiliates to hold, in strict confidence from any person all information regarding the Business that is not now (and does not become part of, through no fault of Seller or its affiliates) generally available to the public, subject to the exceptions set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.7. In the event the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated, upon the request of the other party, each party hereto will, and will cause its affiliates, promptly (and in no event later than five days after such request) redeliver or cause to be redelivered all copies of documents and information furnished by the other party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and destroy or cause to be destroyed all notes, memoranda, summaries, analyses, compilations and other writings related thereto or based thereon prepared by the party that furnished such documents and information or its officers, directors and agents. Notwithstanding any other express or implied agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto agree that each of them and each of their employees, representatives, and other agents may disclose to any and all person, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the purchase of the Assets and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to any of them relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, except where confidentiality is reasonably necessary to comply with U.S. federal or state securities laws. For purposes of this paragraph,

the terms “tax treatment” and “tax structure” have the meanings specified in Treasury Regulation section 1.6011-4.

ARTICLE IX

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1 Reliance and Survival of Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of the parties hereto or the results of any such investigation and notwithstanding the participation of the parties in the Closing, each party shall be deemed to have relied on the representations, warranties and covenants of the other parties, and the representations and warranties contained in Article IV and Article V hereof shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months thereafter, provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1, Section 4.3, Section 4.4, Section 4.10(c), Section 5.1, Section 5.2 and Section 5.3 and the covenant in Section 6.4(c)(ii) shall survive indefinitely, and (ii) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.13, Section 4.19 and Section 4.24 shall survive the Closing until the earlier of (A) seven years following the Closing or (B) all applicable statutes of limitation with respect to any Claims governing the respective matters set forth therein have expired.

(a) Any misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement or in Sellers’ Disclosure Schedules;

(b) Any breach of, or failure to perform, any agreement or covenant of Sellers contained in this Agreement;

(c) Any Claim or threatened Claim against the Buyer Indemnified Parties that arises in connection with the actions or inactions of Sellers with respect to the Assets or the Business prior to the Closing Date;

(d) Any liability of each Seller for Taxes of any person other than either Seller under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law);

(e) With respect to each Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, the satisfaction of all minimum funding requirements under Section 412 of the Code with respect to each such Plan, and any liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to each such Plan; or

(f) Any Excluded Assets or any liability not specifically assumed by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 9.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations of Section 9.5, Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers, their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or shareholders (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any Losses, whether or not involving a third-party Claim, which the Seller Indemnified Parties may suffer, sustain or become subject to as a result of any of the following:

(a) Any misrepresentation in any of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement (including any schedule to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement) or in Buyer’s Disclosure Schedules;

(b) Any breach of, or failure to perform, any agreement or covenant of Buyer contained in this Agreement; or

(c) Any Claim or threatened Claim against either Seller that arises in connection with the actions or inactions of Buyer with respect to the Assets or the Business after the Closing Date or with respect to the Assumed Liabilities.

Section 9.4 Method of Asserting Claims. As used herein, an “Indemnified Party” shall refer to a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, and the “Indemnifying Party” shall refer to the party or parties hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party.

(a) In the event that any of the Indemnified Parties is made a defendant in or party to any action or proceeding, judicial or administrative, instituted by any third party for the liability or the costs or expenses of which are Losses (any such third party action or proceeding being referred to as a “Claim”), then such Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice thereof. The failure to give such notice shall not affect any Indemnified Party’s ability to seek reimbursement unless such failure has materially and adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend successfully a Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to contest and defend such Claim; provided, that the Indemnifying Party (i) has a reasonable basis for concluding that such defense may be successful and (ii) diligently contests and defends such Claim. Notice of the intention so to contest and defend shall be given by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within 15 business days after the Indemnified Party’s notice of such Claim (but, in any event, at least five business days prior to the date that an answer to such Claim is due to be filed). Such contest and defense shall be conducted by reputable attorneys employed

by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to give such notice or assume such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to undertake such defense and its reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorney fees and expenses) shall be included in the Loss to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to contest and defend a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled at any time, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute a Loss unless the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the Indemnifying Party is not adequately representing or, because of a conflict of interest, may not adequately represent, any interests of the Indemnified Parties, and only to the extent that such expenses are reasonable), to participate in such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own choosing. If the Indemnified Party elects to participate in such defense, the Indemnified Party will cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in the conduct of such defense. Neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party may concede, settle or compromise any Claim without the consent of the other party, which consents will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) a Claim seeks equitable relief, (ii) the subject matter of a Claim relates to the ongoing business of any of the Indemnified Parties, which Claim, if decided against any of the Indemnified Parties, would materially adversely affect the ongoing business or reputation of any of the Indemnified Parties, or (iii) the Indemnified Party would not be fully indemnified with respect to a Claim, then, in each such case, the Indemnified Parties alone shall be entitled to contest, defend and settle such Claim in the first instance and, if the Indemnified Parties do not contest, defend or settle such Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall then have the right to contest and defend (but not settle) such Claim.

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party (whether such claim does not involve a Claim or involves a settled or resolved Claim which the Indemnifying Party has not defended for any reason, or a Claim from which an Indemnified Party has suffered Losses by reason of the Indemnifying Party’s failure to adequately represent a Indemnified Party’s interests or otherwise to indemnify the Indemnified Party), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the identity, nature and estimated amount of Losses (if reasonably determinable) related to such claim or claims, with reasonable promptness and in all events prior to the expiration of the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days after delivery of such notice by the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such notice or that it needs additional information to make a determination with respect to such claim, the Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnified Party’s notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has timely (i) disputed its liability with respect to such claim or (ii) indicated that it needs additional information to make a determination with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute for a period of at least 30 days. If such dispute has not been resolved by such time, it shall be resolved fully and finally in Cedar Rapids,

Iowa if a Seller Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party or in Dallas, Texas if a Buyer Indemnified Party is the Indemnified Party, by an arbitrator selected by the parties pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.12. Payment of such Loss shall be made within 10 days following final determination thereof (whether such determination is made pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 9.4, by agreement between Sellers and Buyer, by arbitration award or by final adjudication).

Section 9.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Related Documents to the contrary or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto or the results of any such investigation and notwithstanding the participation of such party in the Closing, with respect to any specific representation or warranty under which any party shall have made a claim for indemnification hereunder prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival term specified in Section 9.1 and as to which such claim has not been completely and finally resolved prior to such expiration date, such representation or warranty shall survive for the period of time beyond such expiration date sufficient to resolve, completely and finally, the claim relating to such representation or warranty.

(b) Sellers shall have no obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of indemnification to which the Buyer Indemnified Parties, but for this Section 9.5(b), otherwise shall have become entitled hereunder shall exceed $150,000 (the “Threshold”), and in such event Sellers shall be obligated to provide indemnification with respect to all such amounts (and not just the amounts in excess of the Threshold). Sellers’ indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be calculated net of any amounts recoverable under insurance policies and net of any related Tax benefits.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers have any liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or otherwise in an aggregate amount in excess of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Purchase Price paid at Closing (as adjusted pursuant to the adjustment provisions of Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) hereof) and in accordance with the Promissory Note (excluding interest paid thereon), and less any amount paid by SOURCECORP in satisfaction of its guarantor obligations under this Agreement.

(d) Buyer shall have no obligation to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3 or otherwise except to the extent that the aggregate amount of indemnification to which Sellers, but for this Section 9.5(d), otherwise shall have become entitled hereunder shall exceed the Threshold, and in such event Buyer shall be obligated to provide indemnification with respect to all such amounts (and not just the amounts in excess of the Threshold). Buyer’s indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall be calculated net of any amounts recoverable under insurance policies and net of any related Tax benefits.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Buyer have any liability for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.3 or the other terms of this Agreement in an aggregate amount in excess of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Purchase Price paid at Closing (as adjusted pursuant to the adjustment provisions of Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) hereof), and in accordance with the Promissory Note (excluding interest paid thereon).

(f) Any indemnification payable under this Article IX shall be, to the extent permitted by law, an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 9.6 SOURCECORP’s Representations, Warranties and Guaranty of SOURCECORP.

(a) SOURCECORP is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. SOURCECORP has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by SOURCECORP and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by the Board of Directors of SOURCECORP, and no other proceedings on its part are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by SOURCECORP and, assuming that this Agreement is the valid and binding agreement of Buyer, constitutes the valid and binding obligation of SOURCECORP, enforceable in accordance with its terms.

(c) SOURCECORP hereby guarantees to Buyer payment of any and all amounts that Sellers may owe to Buyer under this Agreement (the “Obligations”); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall SOURCECORP have any liability for indemnification or otherwise pursuant to Article IX or the other terms of this Agreement in an aggregate amount in excess of seventy-five percent (75%) of the Purchase Price paid at Closing (as adjusted pursuant to the adjustment provisions of Sections 2.1(b) and 2.1(c) hereof) and in accordance with the Promissory Note (excluding interest paid thereon), and less any amount paid by Sellers in satisfaction of their indemnification obligations under this Agreement. SOURCECORP’s liability under this Section 9.6(c) is primary, direct, absolute and nonconditional and independent of the obligations of either Seller. SOURCECORP’’s guaranty of the Obligations (the “Guaranty”) may be immediately enforced without necessity of any action, claim or demand against either Seller or the resort by Buyer to any remedy at law or in equity and is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment and performance of the Obligations, and the obligations of SOURCECORP hereunder shall not be released, in whole or in part, by any action or thing which might, but for this provision of the Agreement, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor, other than irrevocable payment and performance in full of the Obligations. If any payment received by Buyer and applied to

the Obligations is subsequently set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Sellers), the Obligations to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of the Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and the Guaranty shall be enforceable as to such Obligations as fully as if such application had never been made.

Section 9.7 Exclusivity of Remedies. The remedies provided to Sellers and Buyer by the post-closing indemnification provisions of this Article IX shall be the exclusive remedies to which the respective parties are entitled after the Closing for any breach of or noncompliance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Related Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent any Indemnified Party from bringing an action based upon allegations of fraud with respect to any party in connection with this Agreement and the Related Documents. In the event such action is brought, the prevailing party’s attorneys’ fees and costs shall be paid by the nonprevailing party.

(a) The parties will hold a meeting promptly, attended by persons with decision-making authority regarding the dispute or controversy, to attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute or controversy; provided, however, that no such meeting will be deemed to vitiate or reduce the obligations and liabilities of the parties hereunder or be deemed a waiver by a party hereto of any remedies to which such party would otherwise be entitled hereunder.
