The Closing Payment to be paid at the Closing shall be reduced by the following amounts, if any, as set forth on the Estimated Balance Sheet: (i) the amount of any Indebtedness for Borrowed Money and (ii) the amount of any Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities. The Closing Payment to be paid at Closing shall also be reduced by the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Deficit, if any, or increased by the amount of the Estimated Working Capital Surplus, if any. Such adjustments shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Estimated Adjustment.” The Estimated Adjustment shall be determined without regard to the limitations set forth in Sections 9.4 and 9.5 hereof.

(c) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall furnish the Sellers’ Representative with a Closing Balance Sheet, which shall set forth the Indebtedness for Borrowed Money, the Non-Ordinary Course Liabilities and the Closing Working Capital, and a schedule based upon the Closing Balance Sheet setting forth any adjustments to the Estimated Adjustment (collectively, the “Closing Adjustment”). The Sellers’ Representative shall assist the Buyer in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet if reasonably requested by the Buyer.

(d) The Sellers’ Representative shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet to notify the Buyer of its election to accept or reject the Closing Balance Sheet. In the case of a rejection, such notice must contain the reasons for such rejection in reasonable detail and must set forth the amount of the requested adjustment. In the event no notice is received by the Buyer during such twenty (20) day period, the Closing Balance Sheet and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be deemed accepted by the Sellers’ Representative and final and binding on the Parties hereto. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative shall timely reject the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days following the date upon which the Sellers’ Representative shall reject the Closing Balance Sheet), attempt to make a joint determination of the Closing Adjustment and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto.

The Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall request that the Accounting Firm render its determination prior to the expiration of two hundred ten (210) days from the Closing Date and such determination and any required adjustments resulting therefrom shall be final and binding on all the Parties hereto. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by the Buyer and/or the Sellers, respectively, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.

If the Closing Adjustment as finally determined in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.4 is in the Shareholders’ favor, the amount thereof shall be paid as an adjustment to the Purchase Price by the Buyer to the Shareholders by wire transfer in immediately available funds within seven (7) days after such determination. If either Party does not so pay to the other Party by the due date, such amounts shall be deemed Damages under Article IX hereof, which shall be paid in full without regard to the limitations set forth in Sections 9.4 and 9.5 hereof.

(g) The Buyer shall make the work papers and back-up materials used in preparing the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Adjustment, and the books, records, and financial staff of the Company, available to the Sellers’ Representative and his accountants and other representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice at any time during (i) the review by the Sellers’ Representative of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Adjustment for purposes of such review and (ii) the resolution by the Parties of any objections thereto for purposes of such resolution; provided, that no such access shall unreasonably interfere with the operations or business of the Buyer or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives.

6.6 Tax Matters.

(a) Post-Closing Tax Returns; Tax Indemnity.

To the extent any Tax shown as due on such Tax Return is payable by any Seller (taking into account indemnification obligations hereunder), (i) such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Tax Laws; (ii) such Tax Return shall be provided to the Sellers’ Representative at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing such return (or, if required to be filed within thirty (30) days of the Closing, as soon as possible following the Closing); and (iii) the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to review and comment on such Tax Return. Pursuant to, and to the extent of, the indemnity obligation in Section 9.1(viii), promptly upon request by the Buyer, the Sellers shall pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party the amount of any Taxes paid or required to be paid by the Company that are attributable to any taxable period beginning on or before the Closing Date, provided however that with respect to a taxable period ending after the Closing Date, such indemnity shall be limited to the Taxes attributable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date as described in Section 6.6(b). For avoidance of doubt, all Taxes attributable to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections shall be considered to be allocable to the taxable period or portion thereof ending on the Closing Date, and subject to the indemnification by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(viii). To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other Tax items for such periods on their Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Schedule K-1s furnished to the Sellers with respect to the Company.

Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practices of the Company.

(c) Transfer Taxes, Etc. All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Sellers when due. The Sellers shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes. If required by applicable law, the Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(d) Cooperation, Access to Information, and Record Retention. The Sellers, the Company and the Buyer shall cooperate as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other Party hereto in connection the preparation and filing of Tax Returns as provided herein and any Proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, Proceeding with respect to Taxes and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Sellers, the Buyer and the Company shall (i) retain all books and records with respect to Company Taxes (including Tax Returns) relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until ninety (90) days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including waivers and extensions) for assessment of Taxes, and (ii) give the other parties hereto reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if another party so requests, allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(e) Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. All obligations of the Company under all Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements shall have been terminated on or before the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

(f) Tax Proceedings. Any Party who receives any notice of a pending or threatened Tax audit, assessment, or adjustment against or with respect to the Company which may give rise to Liability of another Party hereto, shall promptly notify such other Party within ten (10) business days of the receipt of such notice. The Parties each agree to consult with and to keep the other Parties hereto informed on a regular basis regarding the status of any Tax audit or proceeding to the extent that such audit or proceeding could affect a Liability of such other Parties (including indemnity obligations hereunder). The Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to represent the Company’s interests in any Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceeding and to employ counsel of its choice, but reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, at the Sellers’ expense, but only to the extent such audit or other proceeding pertains to Tax periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Buyer shall have the right to participate in such proceeding at its own expense, and shall be entitled to control the disposition of any issue involved in such proceeding which does not affect a potential Liability of the Sellers. Both the Buyer and the Sellers (through the Sellers’ Representative) shall be entitled to represent their respective interests in light of their responsibilities (including indemnity obligations) for the related Taxes, at their own expense, in any audit or administrative or judicial proceedings involving a Tax period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.6, the Sellers’ Representative shall not, without the Buyer’s consent, agree to any settlement with respect to any Tax if such settlement could adversely affect any Tax Liability of the Buyer, any Affiliate of the Buyer, or (with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date) the Company. Except as provided in this Section 6.6 the provisions of Article IX including the provisions therein addressing settlement authority, shall govern the manner in which Tax audit or administrative or judicial proceedings are resolved.

(g) Section 338(h)(10) Elections. The Sellers will join with the Buyer in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding elections under state or local Tax law) (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Elections”) with respect to sale and purchase of the Shares under this Agreement. The Buyer shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all forms and documents required in connection with the Section 338(h)(10) Elections and shall provide the Sellers with properly completed copies of Form 8023 (and any corresponding state or local Tax forms) prior to the Closing Date. The Sellers agree to execute and deliver to the Buyer on the Closing Date any such forms that are or have been provided by the Buyer for execution and to promptly execute such other forms as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer thereafter in connection with making or perfecting the Section 338(h)(10) Elections. The Parties shall cooperate fully with each other and make available to each other such Tax data and other information as may be reasonably required by the Buyer or the Sellers in order to timely file the Section 338(h)(10) Elections.

(h) Purchase Price Allocation. The Parties agree that the consideration to be paid pursuant to Article I of this Agreement and other items properly includible in the deemed sales price of the assets of the Company pursuant to the Section 338(h)(10) Elections shall be allocated, for Tax purposes, among the Company’s assets in a manner consistent with the

provisions of Section 338 and Section 1060 of the Code and all regulations promulgated thereunder. Before the Closing Date, the Parties shall set forth on Schedule 6.6(h), the fair market value of the assets of the Company that the Parties agree will be used to allocate such consideration in connection with any Section 338(h)(10) Election. The Buyer shall prepare IRS Form 8883 for inclusion with the federal income Tax Return of the Company ending on the Closing Date and any similar allocation required under state, local, or foreign law (collectively, “IRS Form 8883”). The Buyer shall permit the Sellers’ Representative to review and comment on IRS Form 8883 for thirty (30) days. If the Seller shall disagree with the IRS Form 8883, then the Seller shall give notice of such to the Buyer within such 30-day period. Thereafter, the Parties shall work together to try to resolved such dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within ten (10) days of the Seller giving such notice to Buyer, then the dispute shall be submitted to the Accounting Firm for a final determination. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be allocated to be paid by the Buyer and/or the Seller, respectively, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each Party bears to the amount actually contested by such Party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.. The Company, the Sellers and the Buyer agree to report this transaction for federal Tax purposes as a valid election under Section 338(h)(10) and in accordance with IRS Form 8883 as ultimately filed, and shall not take any position or action inconsistent therewith upon examination of any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any audit, Proceeding or otherwise; provided, however, that if, in any audit of any Tax Return of the Sellers, the Company or the Buyer by a Government Authority, the fair market values are finally determined to be different from the relevant IRS Form 8883, as adjusted, the Buyer, the Company and the Sellers may (but shall not be obligated to) take any position or action consistent with the fair market values as finally determined in such audit.

(i) Refunds. Any income Tax refunds that are received by the Buyer or the Company, and any credits against income Tax to which the Buyer or the Company become entitled, that relate to income Tax periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date shall be for the account of the Sellers, and the Buyer shall pay over to the Sellers any such refund or the amount of any such credit within 15 days after receipt or crediting for the benefit of the Company or Buyer. In addition, to the extent that a claim for refund or a proceeding results in a payment or credit against income Tax by a taxing authority to the Buyer or the Company of any amount accrued on the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyer shall pay such amount to the Sellers within 15 days after receipt or crediting for the benefit of the Company or the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payment shall be made to the Sellers under this Section 6.6(i) only to the extent that the refund or credit of overpaid Taxes relates to taxable periods or portions thereof ending on or before the Closing Date and represents Taxes that (i) have actually been paid by Sellers or the Company either directly or through indemnity payment to the Buyer (but limited in the case of the Company to payments made before the Closing Date), and (ii) exceed any amount included as an asset in the Closing Balance Sheet in respect of the Company’s right to refund or credit of such overpaid Taxes). Any payments made under this Section 6.6(i) shall be net of any Taxes payable by the Company or the Buyer with respect to the receipt of such refund, credit or interest thereon.

(j) Characterization of Indemnity Payments. The Buyer and the Sellers agree to treat any payments made pursuant to this Section 6.6 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

6.7 Litigation Support. In the event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against any charge, complaint or other Proceeding by any Person not a Party hereto in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (ii) any fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, each of the other Parties will cooperate with such Party or its counsel in the contest or defense, make available its personnel, and provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary in connection with the contest or defense, including entering into a joint defense agreement or confidentiality agreement with respect thereto, all at the sole cost and expense of the contesting or defending Party (unless the contesting or defending Party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article IX below).

6.10 Payment of Obligations. Prior to the Closing, each Seller and each of the officers, directors, employees and Affiliates of the Company shall repay in full, in accordance with their terms, all debts and other obligations, if any, owed to the Company.

6.11 Unreasonable Dissipation of Assets. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Sellers have indemnification and other obligations under this Agreement that survive the Closing. Each of the Sellers agrees not to take any action that would frustrate or defeat the Buyer’s rights or ability to enforce the Sellers’ obligations hereunder or unreasonably dissipate their assets; provided, however, that the administration of the trusts identified as GRAT trusts on Schedule 1 (List of Shareholders) as required in accordance with their terms shall not violate the provisions of this sentence.

9.2 Indemnification Procedures. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any Proceeding (whether against Buyer or against any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX,

the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense (including settlement or compromise) of such Proceeding on its own; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party settles or compromises any such claim or legal proceeding without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, such settlement or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such Proceeding (it being understood that if the Indemnified Party requests that the Indemnifying Party to consent to a settlement or compromise, the Indemnifying Party shall act reasonably in determining whether to provide such consent). The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt notice after it becomes aware of the commencement of any such Proceeding against the Indemnified Party; provided, however, any failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party, or any of the rights of any Indemnified Party, under this Article IX (except to the extent such failure materially adversely prejudices the defense of such claim or legal proceeding).

Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent the Indemnified Party from making a claim, and an Indemnified Party may make a claim hereunder, for potential or contingent claims or demands; provided, the notice of such claim sets forth the basis for any such potential or contingent claim or demand to the extent then feasible and the Indemnified Party has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim or demand may be made.

9.3 Right of Offset. In the event that any Seller shall have an indemnification obligation to any Buyer Indemnified Party, the Buyer shall have the right to offset the amount thereof against any portion of the Purchase Price owed to such Seller, including, without limitation, the Closing Adjustment or the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, in the event that any Seller shall have an indemnification obligation to any Indemnified Party, the Buyer shall first pursue its rights under the Escrow Agreement to make a claim against the Escrowed Funds in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. No limitation on the Buyer’s ability to exercise the rights set forth in this Section 9.3 shall affect such Indemnified Party’s other rights hereunder.

9.4 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each covenant and agreement contained in this Agreement or in the Escrow Agreement shall survive the Closing and be enforceable until such covenant or agreement has been fully performed. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement and in the certificates to be delivered pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2, 8.1 and 8.2 shall survive the Closing until the date fifteen (15)

months from the Closing Date, and shall thereafter expire, except that any representation or warranty with respect to which a claim has been made for a Breach thereon prior to such date shall survive until such claim is resolved. The limitations on survival set forth in this Section 9.4 shall not apply to (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2 (Authority for Agreement), 3.3 (No Violation to Result), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.8 (Employee Benefit Plans), 3.10 (Taxes), 3.21 (Brokers), 4.2 (Authority for Agreement), 4.3 (No Violation to Result), 4.4 (Company Shares), 4.5 (Brokers), 5.2 (Authority for Agreement), 5.3 (No Violation to Result) and 5.4 (Brokers), all of which shall survive until ninety (90) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, including waivers and extensions thereof or (b) claims based on criminal matters, fraud or intentional misrepresentation which shall survive without limitation (and in no event less than six (6) years).

9.5 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) There shall be no liability for Damages for breaches of representations and warranties unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages for all claims asserted by the Buyer Indemnified Parties exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); provided, however, after such amount of Damages exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), all Damages, excluding the first Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), shall be recoverable by the Buyer Indemnified Parties. There shall be no liability for Damages for breaches of representations and warranties unless and until the aggregate amount of all Damages for all claims asserted by the Seller Indemnified Parties exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000); provided, however, after such amount of Damages exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), all Damages, excluding the first Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000), shall be recoverable by the Seller Indemnified Parties. The limitations set forth in this Section 9.5(a) shall not apply to (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2 (Authority for Agreement), 3.3 (No Violation to Result), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.8 (Employee Benefit Plans), 3.10 (Taxes), 3.21 (Brokers), 4.2 (Authority for Agreement), 4.3 (No Violation to Result), 4.4 (Company Shares), 4.5 (Brokers), 5.2 (Authority for Agreement), 5.3 (No Violation to Result) and 5.4 (Brokers), or (ii) claims based on criminal matters, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, with respect to which, in each case, all Damages shall be recoverable from the first dollar and shall be counted in determining whether the thresholds in this Section 9.5(a) have been exceeded. For purposes of determining the amount of any Damages with respect to any Breach of any representation, warranty or covenant for purposes of indemnification under this Article IX, any qualification or limitation of a representation, warranty or covenant by reference to materiality of matters stated therein or as to matters having or not having “Material Adverse Effect,” or words of similar effect, shall be disregarded; provided, however, that all such words of qualification or limitation shall be given full effect in determining whether a Breach of any such representation, warranty or covenant has occurred giving rise to rights to indemnification under this Article IX. The indemnification obligations of the Parties and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by any Indemnified Party shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Indemnified Parties or any of their Representatives.

(b) The indemnification obligations of the Sellers for breaches of representations and warranties shall be limited to an amount equal to Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,900,000). The indemnification obligations of the Buyer for breaches of representations and warranties shall be limited to an amount equal to Five Million Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,900,000). The limitations in this Section 9.5(b) shall not apply to (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.2 (Authority for Agreement), 3.3 (No Violation to Result), 3.4 (Capitalization), 3.8 (Employee Benefit Plans), 3.10 (Taxes), 3.21 (Brokers), 4.2 (Authority for Agreement), 4.3 (No Violation to Result), 4.4 (Company Shares), 4.5 (Brokers), 5.2 (Authority for Agreement), 5.3 (No Violation to Result) and 5.4 (Brokers), or (ii) claims based on criminal matters, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, with respect to which, in each case, no Damages shall be counted in determining whether the cap in this Section 9.5(b) has been exceeded.

(c) The amount that may be recovered hereunder by an Indemnified Party shall be reduced by an amount equal to any insurance recovery actually received by the Indemnified Party (except to the extent of any repayment or increase in past, present or future insurance premiums or other similar repayment mechanisms payable following the date of the claim giving rise to such increase, determined on a present value basis) and shall be appropriately adjusted for calculations of the related Tax consequences and for the time value of money. The Buyer shall have the right to determine in its sole discretion whether to pursue any such insurance or Tax recovery.

9.6 Waiver, Release and Discharge. Effective upon the Closing, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, each Seller, for itself and its Affiliates, hereby irrevocably waives, releases and discharges the Company, the Buyer and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers and employees (as of the Closing) from any and all Liabilities and obligations to the Seller of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether in his capacity as a Seller hereunder, as a shareholder, officer, director or employee of the Company or otherwise (including, without limitation, in respect of rights of contribution or indemnification), in each case whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, known or unknown, and whether arising hereunder or under any other agreement or understanding, at law or equity, or otherwise and each Seller shall not seek to recover any amounts in connection therewith or thereunder from the Company. Each Seller waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Seller shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other similar right or remedy against the Company in connection with any actual or alleged breach of any representation, warranty or obligation set forth in this Agreement.

9.7 Exclusive Remedy. The provisions of this Article IX shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy from and after the Closing with respect to any Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Indemnified Party resulting from or arising out of any Breach of any representation or warranty made in this Agreement or in any list, certificate, schedule or other instrument or agreement delivered or provided pursuant hereto or related to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for specific performance and equitable remedies as set forth in Article X and Section 12.3 and except in the case of criminal matters, fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

ARTICLE X
COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE

10.1 Prohibited Activities. For the period commencing with Closing and ending on the later of the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing and two (2) years after the date of termination of any employment or consulting arrangement with the Buyer, no Seller shall, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for himself, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person:

(a) engage as a shareholder, owner, partner, joint venturer, or in a managerial capacity, whether as a director, officer, employee, independent contractor, consultant or advisor, in any business selling any products or services in direct or indirect competition with the Buyer, the Company or the Buyer’s Affiliates; provided, however, that no Seller nor any of such Seller’s respective Affiliates shall be precluded from the ownership of securities of corporations that are listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the national over-the-counter market in an amount that shall not exceed one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of any such corporation;

(b) employ, or call upon for the purpose or with the intent of enticing or soliciting away from or out of the employ of the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates, any person who is at that time, or was within one (1) year prior to that time, an employee of the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates;

(c) sell competitive products or services to, or call upon for the purpose of soliciting or selling competitive products or services to, any Person who is at that time, or has been within one (1) year prior to that time, a customer or prospective customer of the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates; or

(d) publish any statement or make any statement (under any circumstances reasonably likely to become public) critical of the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates, or in any way adversely affecting or otherwise maligning the reputation of the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates.

The parties intend that the covenants contained in this Section 10.1 shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for each county in each state of the United States and, except for geographic coverage, each such separate covenant shall be identified in terms to the covenant contained in this Section 10.1.

10.2 Confidentiality.

(a) Each Seller and each of their respective Affiliates, (i) shall treat and hold as confidential all information concerning this Agreement and the business and affairs of the Buyer, the Company and the Buyer’s Affiliates that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), (ii) shall not disclose, transfer, transmit or use any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement and as authorized by the Buyer or the Company, and (iii) shall deliver promptly to the Buyer, at the request and option of the Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in his possession or under his control. Each Seller hereby acknowledges that such Confidential

Information constitutes proprietary and trade secret information of the Buyer or the Company, as the case may be.

(b) In the event that any Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, or any other information concerning the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates, such Seller shall notify the Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.2. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Seller is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, or any other information concerning the Buyer, the Company or any of the Buyer’s Affiliates, to any tribunal or other Government Authority or any official or agency thereof, such Seller may disclose such information thereto; provided that such Seller shall use his best efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of the Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of such information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall designate.

10.3 Damages. Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Buyer and its Affiliates as a result of a breach of the foregoing covenants in this Article X, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Buyer and its Affiliates for which it would have no other adequate remedy, each Seller agrees that the foregoing covenant may be enforced by the Buyer in the event of breach by such Seller, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other available remedies, by injunctions and restraining orders and other equitable remedies.

10.4 Reasonable Restraint. It is agreed by the Parties that the foregoing covenants in this Article X impose a reasonable restraint on the applicable Seller in light of the activities and business of the Buyer and its Affiliates on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of the Buyer and its Affiliates; but it is also the intent of the Parties, that such covenants be construed and enforced in accordance with the changing activities and business of the Buyer and its Affiliates throughout the term of this covenant.

10.5 Independent Covenant. All of the covenants in this Article X shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of any Seller against the Buyer, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Buyer of such covenants. It is understood by the Parties hereto that the covenants contained in this Article X are essential elements of this Agreement and that, but for the agreement of the Sellers to comply with such covenants, the Buyer would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement. Each Seller and the Buyer have independently consulted with their respective counsel and have been advised concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenants with specific regard to the nature of the business conducted by the Buyer. Each Seller hereby agrees that all covenants contained in this Article X are material, reasonable and valid and waive all defenses to the strict enforcement hereof by the Buyer. The covenants in this Article X are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other

covenant. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the Parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed. The covenants contained in Article X hereof shall not be affected by any breach of any other provision hereof by any Party hereto and shall have no effect if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are not performed.

ARTICLE XI

11.1 Termination.

(v) by the Buyer if Wachovia Bank, National Association, or other applicable lenders under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, refuse to provide the Credit Agreement Consent; provided, however, that the Buyer’s rights under this Section 11.1(a)(v) shall expire on June 30, 2007;

(vi) by the Buyer if there shall have occurred (A) an effect, event or change which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or the Buyer or (B) any resignation or termination of employment (or indications of an intention or plan to resign) by an executive officer or any material number of management level or senior technical Company Employees; or

(vii) by the Buyer if the Buyer is not satisfied with the results of its review of, and the due diligence investigation with respect to, any matter or matters described on Appendix C;

(ix) by the Buyer if there has been an amendment, supplement or revision to the Seller Party Disclosure Schedules; or

(x) by the Sellers’ Representative if there has been an amendment, supplement or revision to the Buyer Disclosure Schedules.

(b) In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1(a), (i) the Share Purchase shall be abandoned; (ii) the provisions of Article IX, this Article XI and Article XII shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement; and (iii) each Party shall remain liable for any Breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.

ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Seller Parties and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Seller Parties may not make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Buyer. Any such purported assignment without such prior written consent shall be void and of no force or effect. This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by the Buyer hereunder may be assigned by the Buyer to any of its Affiliates, in whole or in part, in which case the Buyer nonetheless shall remain responsible for the purpose of conferring the benefits and performing the obligations required of the Buyer hereunder and assigned by the Buyer.

12.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, construed and governed by and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflicts of laws principles.

12.3 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that the other Parties shall be irreparably harmed and that there shall be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any of them of any of the covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to, but not in lieu of, any other remedies which may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each Party shall have the right to obtain injunctive relief to restrain a breach or threatened breach of, or otherwise to obtain specific performance of, the other Parties’ covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement. Except as set forth in Section 9.7, all rights and remedies of the parties under this Agreement shall be cumulative, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies will not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy available under this Agreement or applicable law.

12.4 Severability. Each section, subsection and lesser section of this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct undertaking, covenant and/or provision hereof. In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall finally be determined to be unlawful, such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement, but every other provision of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however that if such unlawful clause is so material to the Party for whose benefit the clause was originally included so that such Party would not have entered into this Agreement without such unlawful clause, the severability of such clause shall be arbitrated pursuant to Section 12.9 hereof. The preceding sentence is in addition to and not in place of the severability provisions in Article X.

12.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by execution of an instrument in writing signed by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

12.6 Waiver. Either the Buyer, on the one hand, or any Seller Party, on the other hand, may to the extent permitted by applicable Law (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Seller Parties or the Buyer, as applicable, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties or the Buyer, as applicable, contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto or (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements of the Seller Parties or the Buyer, as applicable, contained herein. No such extension or waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party extending the time of performance or waiving any such inaccuracy or non-compliance. No waiver by any Party of any term of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term of this Agreement on any future occasion.

12.7 Notices. All notices, requests, consents, waivers, and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (a) if personally delivered, upon delivery or refusal of delivery; (b) if mailed by registered or certified United States mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, upon delivery or refusal of delivery; or (c) if sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, upon delivery or refusal of delivery.

The Sellers’ Representative may direct the Buyer to satisfy any of the Sellers’ obligations under this Section 12.8 at the Closing, in which case the Closing Payment shall be reduced by a corresponding amount.

12.9 Arbitration.

(a) Except as set forth in Article X, Section 12.3 and Section 12.9(c) hereof, any dispute, difference, controversy or claim arising in connection with or related or incidental to, or question occurring under, this Agreement or the subject matter hereof shall be finally settled under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), unless otherwise agreed, by an arbitral tribunal composed of three (3) arbitrators, at least one (1) of whom shall be an attorney experienced in corporate transactions, appointed by agreement of the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in accordance with said Rules. In the event Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative fail to agree upon a panel of arbitrators from the first list of potential arbitrators proposed by the AAA, the AAA will submit a second list in accordance with such Rules. In the event Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall have failed to agree upon a full panel of arbitrators from such second list, any remaining arbitrators to be selected shall be appointed by the AAA in accordance with such Rules. If at the time of the arbitration Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative agree in writing to submit the dispute to a single arbitrator, such single arbitrator shall be appointed by agreement of Buyer and the Sellers’

Representative in connection with the foregoing procedure or failing such agreement by the AAA in accordance with such Rules. All arbitrators shall be neutral arbitrators and subject to Rule 19 of the Rules.

(b) The arbitrators shall not have the authority to add to, detract from, or modify any provision hereof nor to award punitive damages to any injured Party. A decision by a majority of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding. The arbitrators shall deliver a written and reasoned award with respect to the dispute to each of the parties, who shall promptly act in accordance therewith. Any arbitration proceeding shall be held in Chicago, Illinois.

(c) The Parties hereby exclude any right of appeal to any court on the merits of the dispute. The provisions of this Section 12.9 may be enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the award or any of the Parties or any of their respective assets, and judgment on the award (including without limitation equitable remedies) granted in any arbitration hereunder may be entered in any such court. Nothing contained in this Section 12.9 shall prevent any Party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the need to resort to arbitration.

12.10 Complete Agreement. This Agreement, those documents expressly referred to herein, including all exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other documents of even date herewith, together with the Confidentiality Agreement signed by the Buyer on November 17, 2006 and the Company on November 21, 2006, between the Buyer and the Company (which shall terminate automatically at the Closing), embody the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties and supersede and preempt any prior understandings, agreements or representation by or among the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter herein.

12.11 Absence of Third Party Beneficiary Rights. No provision of this Agreement is intended, nor will be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights or any other rights of any kind in any client, customer, Affiliate, shareholder, employee or partner of any Party hereto or any other Person.

12.12 Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the mutual product of the Parties, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of each of the Parties, and shall not be construed for or against any Party hereto.
