ARTICLE I

Purchase and Sale of Shares; Closing

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares.

On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements herein, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth herein and the terms hereof, at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase from the Sellers and the Sellers shall sell convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Purchaser, the Shares, free and clear of any Liens, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Sellers shall be entitled to cause the Company to transfer the Excluded Assets (other than the split dollar life insurance policies related to the SC/SD Plans, which shall be transferred

in accordance with Section 7.7) on or before the Closing and to take any other actions necessary to effectuate the transfer of title thereof to the Sellers, which transfer, for the avoidance of doubt, will occur prior to Closing and Sellers shall be solely responsible for any costs, expenses and Taxes (including Transfer Taxes) related to such transfer. The Purchaser shall cooperate with, and as promptly as practicable provide all documents and information reasonably requested by, the Sellers to effectuate this paragraph and any such transfers.

1.3 The Closing.

The closing of the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Kirkland & Ellis LLP, 300 North LaSalle St., Chicago, Illinois 60654 and Burns & Levinson LLP, 125 Summer Street, Boston, MA 02110, at 10:00 A.M. (Boston, MA time) (or at such other location as Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree in writing) on the date hereof upon the delivery or waiver of the items set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, or on such other date and time as Purchaser and Seller shall mutually agree in writing. The date of the Closing is referred to as the “Closing Date.” At the Closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions specified in Article II below:

(a) The Purchaser shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Seller Representative in a written notice to Purchaser on or prior to the Closing, pay to Seller Representative an amount equal to the excess of (x) the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, minus (y) the Escrow Amount, minus (z) $1,859,379.93, being the amount that the parties have agreed to hold back from the Purchase Price and disburse in accordance with Section 7.7(c)(iii) of this Agreement. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, wire $2,362,210.90 (the “Special Payroll Amount”) to Burns & Levinson LLP who the Seller Representative will cause to hold such amounts until it receives the required wire instructions from ADP, and upon receipt of such wire instructions, the Seller Representative shall cause Burns & Levinson LLP to then immediately wire the Special Payroll Payment Amount to ADP for processing the related payments. The Purchaser shall, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, also pay the Closing Indebtedness (other than amounts then included in the calculation of the Special Payroll Amount as well as the all unpaid bonuses payable (or that may become payable) to employees of the Company that are allocable to pre-Closing periods, which will be processed in the Company’s next regular payroll immediately following the Closing) to the applicable third parties. At the Closing, the Seller Representative shall provide the Purchaser with a schedule setting forth the amount to be paid to third parties in respect of the Closing Indebtedness pursuant to this Section 1.3(a) and the Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on such schedule in making payments pursuant to this Section 1.3(a).

- 2 -

(b) The Purchaser shall pay to an escrow account at Danversbank, a Massachusetts Savings Bank (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”) cash in an amount equal to $4,150,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) for deposit into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) to be held and disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, which shall include, among other provisions, the release of one half (1/2) of the Escrow Amount (less the amount of (i) any adjustment in the Purchaser’s favor pursuant to Section 1.4, as applicable, and/or (ii) indemnity claims resolved in the Purchaser’s favor or otherwise then outstanding) twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement (the “Initial Release Date”) and the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount (less the amount of any claims then outstanding) eighteen (18) months from the date of this Agreement (the “Second Release Date”). All interest accrued in respect of the Escrow Account shall inure to the benefit of the Sellers and shall be payable to the Sellers on each of the Initial Release Date and the Second Release Date along with any other amounts then due and payable to the Sellers.

(c) The closing certificates and other documents and agreements required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including all certificates, documents and agreements set forth in Article II) with respect to the Closing will be exchanged.

1.4 Post-Closing Adjustment.

The Estimated Closing Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment following the Closing as follows:

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall (i) deliver to the Seller Representative a written statement (the “Initial Statement”) setting forth its calculations of each of the Closing Cash Amount, the Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Net Working Capital, as determined by reference to the relevant provisions of this Agreement, and on the basis of the foregoing, its calculation of the Final Purchase Price, and (ii) provide reasonable access to all applicable financial statements and work papers used by Purchaser and/or its accountants (or other applicable representatives) to prepare the Initial Statement and calculate the Final Purchase Price (the “Initial Statement Documentation”) in accordance with Section 1.4(b) below.

(b) Following the receipt by the Seller Representative of the Initial Statement, if deemed reasonably necessary in good faith by the Seller Representative, the Purchaser shall permit the Seller Representative and its representatives to have reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records and other documents pertaining to or used in connection with preparation of the Initial Statement; provided, however, (A) such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Company, and (B) any such access shall be conducted at the expense of the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers). Subject to the execution and delivery of any non-reliance or similar letter requested by the auditors for the Company, the Seller Representative and its accountants may make reasonable inquiries of the Purchaser, the Company and their respective employees, accountants and representatives during normal business hours regarding questions concerning the Initial Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Purchaser and the Company shall use their commercially

- 3 -

reasonable efforts to cause any such employees, accountants and representatives to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries.

On or prior to the thirtieth (30^th) day after the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Initial Statement and Initial Statement Documentation, the Seller Representative may give the Purchaser a written notice stating in reasonable detail any objections (an “Objection Notice”) that it may have to the calculations of Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Net Working Capital; provided that the only basis on which an objection may be set forth in an Objection Notice is that the Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness or Closing Working Capital, as applicable, was not calculated in accordance with this Agreement or manifest mathematical error. Any Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection and the basis therefor. Any item or calculation included in the calculations of any of the Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Initial Statement which is not specifically objected to, or which is reasonably apparent on its face that it is related to a specific objection, in an Objection Notice shall be deemed final and binding upon the parties hereto. If no Objection Notice is delivered within the 30-day period after delivery of the Initial Statement, the calculations of the Closing Cash Amount, Closing Indebtedness and the Closing Net Working Capital will be final and binding upon the parties hereto.

(c) If the Seller Representative gives a timely Objection Notice as described in Section 1.4(b) above, then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative will negotiate in good faith to resolve their disputes regarding the Initial Statement and all such negotiations shall be governed by Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and any similar provision of state and local law. If the Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to resolve all disputes regarding the calculations set forth in the Initial Statement that are set forth in the Objection Notice on or prior to the twentieth (20^th) day after the delivery of the Objection Notice or such longer period as the Purchaser and the Seller Representative may agree in writing, then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative will, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, mutually retain RSM McGladrey, Inc. or, if such auditing firm is no longer independent or unwilling to serve, such other independent auditing firm as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Independent Arbitrator”), and shall instruct the Independent Arbitrator to resolve the dispute as soon as practicable, and in any event within thirty (30) days, and the Purchaser and the Seller Representative and their respective agents shall cooperate with the Independent Arbitrator during its engagement. Each of the Purchaser and the Seller Representative agree that it shall not engage, or agree to engage the Independent Arbitrator to perform any services other than as the Independent Arbitrator pursuant hereto until the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4. The Independent Arbitrator shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the parties (the “Disputed Items”), solely in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (it being understood that in making such decision, the Independent Arbitrator shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator). In resolving any Disputed Item, the Independent Arbitrator may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Independent Arbitrator’s determination shall be based solely on presentations by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative, such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent

- 4 -

Arbitrator may request and the definitions and other terms included herein. Such determination by the Independent Arbitrator will, absent manifest error, be final and binding upon the parties hereto, will not be subject to appeal and will be used for all purposes of this Section 1.4 for the final calculations of Closing Indebtedness, Closing Cash Amount and the Closing Net Working Capital and, on the basis of the final calculations thereof, the calculation of the Final Purchase Price. The fees and expenses of the Independent Arbitrator (i) shall be borne by the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of Disputed Items submitted thereto for resolution that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as finally determined by the Independent Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such submitted Disputed Items and (ii) shall be borne by the Company in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of Disputed Items submitted thereto for resolution that are successfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as finally determined by the Independent Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such submitted Disputed Items. The Purchaser and the Seller Representative agree to execute, if requested by the Independent Arbitrator, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnification provisions in favor of the Independent Arbitrator. The Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall cooperate with the Independent Arbitrator and as promptly as practicable provide all documents and information reasonably requested by the Independent Arbitrator.

(d) Payment of Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) If the Final Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.4) is greater than the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall make, or cause the Company to make on its behalf, payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Seller Representative the amount of such difference, together with interest on such payment at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from the Closing Date to the date of payment.

(ii) If the Estimated Closing Purchase Price is greater than the Final Purchase Price, the Sellers (on a joint and several basis), to the extent there are not sufficient funds available in the Escrow Account, shall make payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchaser (or Company, if directed by the Purchaser) of the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed divided by 365, from the Closing Date to the date of payment. Any amount owed to the Purchaser under this Section 1.4(d) shall first be satisfied from the Escrow Account.

(iii) Any amount to be paid pursuant to this Section 1.4(d) will be paid within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 1.4 and will be treated as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price for all purposes.

(iii) if the Indemnitor shall co-lead the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice; and

(iv) if the Indemnitor is not entitled to, or does not, assume co-lead of such defense pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 6.2(e), the Indemnitee shall control such defense without waiving any right that the Indemnitee may have against the Indemnitor for indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.2.

With respect to any Third-Party Claim that either party believes may be subject to indemnification under this Article VI: (i) both the Indemnitee and Indemnitor, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where such other Person is not represented by its own counsel, (ii) the parties agree (each at its own expense) to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require and to cooperate in good faith in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the parties shall obtain the prior written consent of the other party before entering into any settlement of a claim, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that neither party shall be required to provide the other with any information or materials which are covered by attorney-client privilege or which are subject to any confidentiality obligations of such party with respect to a third party unless the other party can provide assurances that the confidentiality obligations or privilege will be preserved following the sharing of such information.

With respect to any Third-Party Claim that either party believes may be subject to indemnification under this Article VI, the parties agree to cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use its best efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of Confidential Information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any party hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(f) Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnitee on account of Losses which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) will be asserted by giving the Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof (such notice, a “Direct Claim Notice”) prior to the expiration of the applicable survival limitations hereunder, including without limitation the Limitation Date (as applicable) and those limitations set forth in this in Article VI. A Direct Claim Notice will describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, will include copies of all available written evidence thereof and will indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor

- 35 -

will have a period of thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Direct Claim Notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnitor will be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which event the Indemnitor and Indemnitee will each be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement. If an objection is timely interposed by the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) Business Days from the date the Indemnitee receives such objection (such period, or such longer period as agreed in writing by the parties, is hereinafter referred to as the “Negotiation Period”). If the Negotiation Period has not resulted in a resolution of the Direct Claim that is the subject of the Direct Claim Notice prior to the expiration thereof, the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee may submit the dispute for resolution to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Sections 9.14 and 9.15 hereof and each will be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to them on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(g) Notice of Claims. A failure to give timely notice or to include any specified information in any notice as provided in this Section 6.2 will not affect the rights or obligations of any party hereunder, except to the extent that, as a result of such failure, any party which was entitled to receive such notice was deprived of its right to recover any payment under its applicable insurance coverage or was otherwise materially prejudiced as a result of such failure or the failure to notify continued until the expiration of the applicable survival limitations, including without limitation those set forth in this Article VI.

(h) Recoveries. To the extent that an Indemnitor has made an indemnification payment in respect of a Loss, the Indemnitee shall pay to the Indemnitor the amount of any Tax benefits realized by the Indemnitee as a result of such Loss if, as and when such benefits are actually realized, less the amount, if any, of any loss (whenever arising) of Tax benefit resulting therefrom (for example, as a result of reduced depreciation deductions in the event that a Section 338(h)(10) election has been made). For such purpose, (i) a Tax benefit shall be deemed to be realized if and to the extent that the Indemnitee’s Tax liability for a taxable period without taking into account such Loss exceeds the Indemnitee’s Tax liability for such period taking into account such Loss and (ii) a Tax benefit shall be realized when the Indemnitee files a Tax Return claiming that the Loss results in a reduction in the Indemnitee’s cash Tax liability, but only to the extent such Tax Return is required to be filed on or prior to the third anniversary after the Closing Date.

Furthermore, the amount of any Loss for which an Indemnitee is entitled to receive an indemnification payment under this Agreement will be reduced by the amount, if any, of the cash recovery (net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and the amount of any retrospective or other current increase in the insurance premiums to the extent attributable to the payment of such cash recovery or the existence of such Losses) that the Indemnitee has actually received with respect thereto under any insurance policies (the “Cash Recovery Amount”). With respect to any particular claim for indemnification hereunder, Indemnitee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue and obtain recovery under any applicable insurance policies maintained by the Company or its successors or assigns (with it being understood that the use of such efforts shall not delay or restrict any rights to

- 36 -

indemnification hereunder, but shall expressly include both pursuing any claim a well as contesting and thereafter pursing any coverage disputes with the insurance companies) and (i) to the extent that Indemnitee receives payment under any such policies with respect to such claim for indemnification prior to the receipt of any payment in respect of the applicable Losses by Indemnitor, Indemnitor shall only remain liable with respect to such claim for the excess of the amount for which Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim for indemnification over the Cash Recovery Amount with respect to such claim for indemnification, or (ii) to the extent Indemnitee has received payment from Indemnitor in respect of the amounts for which Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified hereunder with respect to such claim for indemnification prior to the receipt of any amounts under any applicable insurance policies with respect to such claim, Indemnitee shall continue to pursue recover under such insurance policies and shall promptly pay over to Indemnitor an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the amount previously paid by Indemnitor with respect to such claim for indemnification and (B) the Cash Recovery Amount received under such applicable insurance policies with respect to such claim for indemnification.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will not cause the Company to commute or terminate any insurance policy maintained by the Company with respect to any period prior to the Closing Date. For so long as Purchaser or any of its Affiliates owns greater than 50% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to be joined as an insured party under any general liability or property and casualty insurance policy maintained for the benefit of the Purchaser, subject to the same policy limitations, deductibles, self-insured retention policy amounts and other coverage limitations applicable to the Purchaser and its Affiliates.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, except to the extent payable to a Third-Party in respect of a Third-Party Claim, no Indemnitor shall, in any event, be liable to any Indemnitee for an indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) or Section 6.2(b)(i) for any Losses that are consequential, incidental, indirect, special or punitive damages of such other Indemnitee, including loss of revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty made hereunder.

(i) Purchase Price Adjustment Treatment. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VI shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(j) Effect of Investigation. The right to indemnification, payment of Losses of a Purchaser Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party or for other remedies based on any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Sellers or the Purchaser, respectively, contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall not be affected by (i) any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation or (ii) the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or

- 37 -

obligation, and will not affect the right to indemnification based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

(k) Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, the remedies provided by this Article VI, subject to the limitations set forth herein, shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties for the recovery of Losses resulting from, relating to or arising out of this Agreement (except for claims pertaining to or as set forth in Sections 1.4, 7.3, 7.4 and 9.2) and in the case of claims for fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or claims under the other documents and instructions entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby) and such parties hereby waive, and release one another from, all other remedies, whether common law or statutory or at equity.

ARTICLE VII

Post-Closing Covenants

7.1 General.

In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefor under Article VI). The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that from and after the Closing the Purchaser will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including Tax records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to the Company, and the Sellers shall be entitled to retain copies of Tax records and other items that they reasonably determine in good faith are required for their personal records. After the Closing, the Purchaser and the Company shall also provide the Sellers with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Company for periods up to and including the Closing to extent the Seller reasonably determines in good faith that it needs access to such records; provided, however, that (A) such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Company, and (B) any such access shall be conducted at the expense of such Seller; provided further that such Seller may be required to executed and deliver a customary confidentiality agreement with respect to such materials.

7.2 Confidentiality.

During the Restricted Period (as defined below), each Seller shall treat and hold as confidential all of the Confidential Information and refrain from disclosing or using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement. In the event that any Seller (or any officer or director thereof) 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) prior to the end of the Restricted Period, to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that the Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.2. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Seller (or any officer or director thereof) is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, such Seller (or any

- 38 -

officer or director thereof) may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that such Seller (or any officer or director thereof) shall use his or its reasonable best efforts to obtain, at the request of the Purchaser an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Purchaser shall designate. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, advisors, agents and representatives to deliver promptly to Purchaser, at the request and option of Purchaser, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of such Confidential Information which are in such Seller’s possession or under such Seller’s control or, if Purchaser shall expressly permit, certify to Purchaser in writing that any such Confidential Information in such Seller’s possession or under such Seller’s control has been destroyed, provided that notwithstanding the above or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Sellers shall be permitted to retain and use (both before and after Closing), without limitation, any Confidential Information that pertains to the Excluded Assets.

7.3 Restrictive Covenants.

Sellers acknowledge and agree that substantial and valuable assets which belong to the Company include the trade names, Confidential Information, relationships with customers, and associated goodwill of the Company, and that the relationships which the Company has with its employees, vendors and agents are significant business relationships necessary for Company to continue to conduct the Business and that the Company shall be primarily engaged in conducting the Business throughout the world. The Sellers further acknowledge and agree that the Company has a reasonable, necessary and legitimate business interest in protecting the aforesaid assets, relationships and businesses, and that the covenants set forth below are reasonable and necessary in order to protect these legitimate business interests. The Sellers further acknowledge and agree that the payment at Closing of the portion of the Purchase Price due at Closing shall constitute, among other things full consideration for such covenants, and the associated goodwill of the Company, and that the failure to pay any other portion of the Purchase Price shall not relieve any Seller from such Seller’s obligations pursuant to such covenants. In addition, the Sellers acknowledge and agree that monetary damages will not be an adequate remedy for any material breach of any of their covenants contained in this Section 7.3, and that irreparable injury may result to the Company or its successors in interest in the event of any such material breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 7.3(f) below, each Seller agrees to the following restrictions:

(a) Each Seller will not, directly or indirectly (including through any other Seller), use or grant to any Person the right to use at any time, the trade names set forth in Schedule 7.3(a), or any similar names, juxtapositions or derivations thereof, without the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Each Seller agrees that from and after the Closing Date and continuing for five (5) years from the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Seller shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, either for himself or through any other Person, as an employee, agent, consultant, director, equityholder, manager, co-partner or in any other individual or representative capacity, own, operate, manage, control, engage in, invest in,

- 39 -

be employed by or participate in any manner in, act as a consultant or advisor to, render services for (alone or in association with any Person), permit such party’s name to be used by any enterprise that engages in or participates in, or otherwise assist any Person that engages in the Business or owns, invests in, operates, manages or controls any venture or enterprise that directly or indirectly engages in the Business anywhere in the world.

(c) Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 7.3(b), each Seller hereby agrees that during the Restricted Period such Seller will not, and shall cause each of his Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, as employee, agent, consultant, director, equityholder, manager, co-partner or in any other capacity without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, (i) solicit business from any Person which is or was a client, customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Company during the one (1) year period preceding the Closing Date, or from any successor in interest to any such Person, in any case for the purpose of securing business or contracts related to the Business or (ii) encourage, initiate or participate in discussions or negotiations with, provide any information to any Person which is or becomes an acquisition target, client, customer, supplier, licensee or licensor of the Business (including any Person engaged in discussions with the Company related to such Person becoming a client, customer, supplier, licensee or licensor of the Business) with respect to the termination or other alteration of such Person’s relationship (or potential relationship) with the Purchaser, the Company or the Business; provided for the purposes of clarity, that nothing contained in this Section 7.3(c) shall prohibit or restrict any Seller from contacting or soliciting any of the foregoing persons in respect of any business other than the Business.

(d) During the Restricted Period, each Seller shall not, and shall cause each of his Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, as employee, agent, consultant, director, equityholder, manager, co-partner or in any other capacity without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, employ, engage, recruit or solicit for employment or engagement (other than by a general solicitation advertisement, posting or similar job solicitation process not targeting the employees of the Company), any Person who is (or was during the one (1) year period preceding the Closing Date) employed or engaged by the Company, or otherwise seek to interfere with, influence or alter any such Person’s relationship with any of the foregoing, provided that Sellers shall be permitted, and nothing contained in this Section 7.3(d) shall limit or restrict the ability of Sellers, to (i) solicit and or hire former employees of the Company whose employment with the Company has been terminated without cause by the Company (including those not retained by the Company following the Closing), (ii) hire any Person who has not been an employee of the Company for a period of 6 months prior thereto and who independently contacts any Seller for employment, provided that such contact does not follow any activity by any Seller that violates the provisions of this section, or (iii) solicit and hire any family members of any Seller.

(e) Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that the territorial, time and scope limitations set forth in this Section 7.3 are reasonable and are properly required to protect the Purchaser’s substantial investment hereunder and for the protection of the Purchaser’s legitimate interest in client relationships, goodwill and trade secrets of the Company’s businesses, and that such limitations would not impose any undue burden upon such Seller. In the event that any such territorial, time or scope limitation is deemed to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Purchaser and each of the Sellers agree, and each of the

- 40 -

Sellers submit, to the reduction of any or all of said territorial, time or scope limitations to such an area, period or scope as said court shall deem reasonable or enforceable under the circumstances. If such partial enforcement is not possible in such jurisdiction, the provision shall be deemed severed as to such jurisdiction, and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and this provision shall remain in full force and effect as set forth herein with respect to all other jurisdictions.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent a Seller from (and the Sellers shall be permitted without restriction to perform such activities), (i) investing in the stock of any competing Person listed on a national securities exchange or traded in the over the counter market so long as such Seller is not involved in the business of such Person and such Seller does not own more than five percent (5%) of the equity of such Person, (ii) subject to the terms of the Clementi Pail License Agreement, after the expiration of the Pail Negotiation Period, engaging in business activities solely to the extent related to the manufacturing, distribution, sale and or licensing of the Clementi Pail, provided that with respect to the design of the Clementi Pail, such activities permissible under this clause (ii) shall be limited to the designs embodied in the claims of the patents set forth in Table 1 of the definition of the Clementi Pail below subject to changes or modifications to the Clementi Pail that do not materially alter such designs embodied therein, (iii) engaging in business activities that are unrelated to the Business and do not violate the provisions of this Section 7.3 and/or (iv) retaining and using any Confidential Information pertaining to the Excluded Assets.

7.4 Tax Matters.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Sellers and Purchaser for Tax matters following the Closing Date.

(a) Pre-Closing Taxes. Sellers shall remain liable and shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any Loss attributable to (i) all Income Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of or arising with respect to the Company for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, (ii) any and all Income Taxes of any member of an Affiliated Group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date and (iii) any and all Income Taxes of any Person imposed on either Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule or regulation, which Income Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing Date. The Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers) shall reimburse Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company or other amounts that are the responsibility of Sellers pursuant to this Section 7.4(a) within fifteen (15) days after receiving notice from Purchaser that payment of such Taxes has either been made or will be made by Purchaser or the Company. If the Company, or Purchaser, receives (A) any actual cash refund of Taxes paid with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that is not generated by the carryback of an item arising in a period after the Closing (a “Post-Closing Tax Period”) or (B) an abatement of or credit against Taxes attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that results in an actual reduction of the cash Tax liability of the Company with respect to a Post-Closing Tax Period calculated by the difference between the Company’s cash Tax liability with respect to such Post-Closing Tax

- 41 -

Period taking such abatement or credit into account and the Company’s cash Tax liability for such period without taking such abatement or credit into account, then the Company and or Purchaser shall promptly remit a cash payment to the Seller Representative in the amount of any such cash Tax refund or reduction in cash Tax liability for a Post-Closing Tax Period.

(b) Straddle Period Allocation. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), (i) the amount of any Income Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which either Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and (ii) the amount of any other Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such other Taxes for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

(c) Tax Return Preparation. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company that are filed after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall present, or shall cause to be presented, to the Seller Representative for its review and comment any such Income Tax Return that is with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period within thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction or other tax items shown on such Tax Returns on Sellers’ Income Tax Returns. Each of the Purchaser and the Company shall provide to Sellers all information in its possession and under its control which is reasonably necessary for Sellers to file such Tax Returns.

(d) §338(h)(10) Election.

(i) At Purchaser’s election, the Company and each Seller shall join with Purchaser in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code (and any corresponding election under state, local, and non-U.S. tax law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Company’s capital stock hereunder (collectively, a “§338(h)(10) Election”). The Purchaser shall prepare Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 with respect to the Company, and such other forms and schedules as are necessary or required to make the §338(h)(10) Election, and each Seller shall execute said Form 8023 and shall take all such other acts as are necessary to make or perfect such §338(h)(10) Election as requested by the Purchaser promptly, but in any event within ten (10) days, after written request therefor. Sellers shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other tax item resulting from the §338(h)(10) Election on their Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable Law.

(ii) At least thirty (30) days prior to filing any 338(h)(10) Election, the Purchaser shall prepare a statement (the “Proposed 338(h)(10) Statement”) showing, with respect to any Seller, the amount by which the Purchaser believes the Income Tax Liabilities of such Seller would, if a §338(h)(10) Election is so made, exceed the amount of Income Tax Liability that such Seller would incur if no such §338(h)(10) Election is made. The Sellers will cooperate with Purchaser in preparing the Proposed 338(h)(10)

- 42 -

Statement, including providing any Tax basis or available tax loss information promptly following request thereafter. For purposes of preparing the Proposed 338(h)(10) Statement and the Final 338(h)(10) Statement, the parties shall when calculating the estimated Income Tax Liabilities of a Seller if a §338(h)(10) Election is so made, include any additional taxes that would be imposed on the increased income resulting from the related reimbursement in accordance with clause (iv) below. The Seller Representative shall have twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of the Proposed 338(h)(10) Statement during which to notify Purchaser in writing (a “Notice of Objection”) of any objections to the Proposed 338(h)(10) Statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of its objections. If the Seller Representative fails to deliver a Notice of Objection in accordance with this Section 7.4(d)(ii), the Proposed 338(h)(10) Statement shall be conclusive and binding on all parties and shall become the “Final 338(h)(10) Statement.” If the Seller Representative submits a Notice of Objection, then (i) for fifteen (15) days after the date Purchaser receives the Notice of Objection, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such disagreement and (ii) failing such agreement within ten (10) days of such notice, the matter will be resolved in accordance with Section 7.4(d)(iii).

(iii) Any amounts remaining in dispute at the conclusion of the ten (10) day negotiation period that were properly included in the Notice of Objection (the “Unresolved Changes”) shall be submitted to RSM McGladrey, Inc. or such other accounting or financial services firm as the Parties shall otherwise agree (the “Expert”). The Expert shall be instructed to determine its best estimate of the Final 338(h)(10) Statement based on its determination of the Unresolved Changes and provide a written description of the basis for its determination of the allocations therein within ten (10) days after the matter has been submitted to the Expert, which written determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be included in the Final 338(h)(10) Statement. The fees and expenses of the Expert (i) shall be borne by the Seller Representative (on behalf of the Sellers), in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of Unresolved Changes submitted thereto for resolution that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as finally determined by the Expert) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such submitted Unresolved Changes and (ii) shall be borne by the Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of Unresolved Changes submitted thereto for resolution that are successfully disputed by the Seller Representative (as finally determined by the Expert) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such submitted Unresolved Changes.

(iv) If a §338(h)(10) Election is made, then the Purchaser shall pay as an addition to the Purchase Price an amount of cash to the Seller Representative equal to the aggregate amount by which the Sellers’ Income Tax Liability exceeds the amount of Income Tax Liability that the Sellers would have incurred if no Section 338(h)(10) Election had been made, as shown on the Final 338(h)(10) Statement, which statement shall, for the avoidance of doubt, take into account the deductibility of state and local Taxes for U.S. federal Income Tax purposes and shall include any Tax liability on the “gross up” amounts payable hereunder as stated in Section 7.4(d)(ii) (this shall be an ongoing payment obligation of Purchaser that also applies with respect to any Sellers’

- 43 -

Income Tax Liability arising in the future as a direct result of a final determination by a tax authority with respect to the income or operations of the Company at any time following the Closing). Such payment shall be made within five (5) days after the §338(h)(10) Election is filed. The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the mechanism provided for in this Section 7.4(d) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any incremental Taxes that may be imposed on the Sellers as a result of the 338(h)(10) Election. In no event shall the Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.4(d) limit, prejudice or restrict any Purchaser Indemnified Party’s rights under Article VI.

(e) Purchase Price Allocation. If a §338(h)(10) Election is made, Purchaser, the Company and Sellers agree that the Purchase Price and the Liabilities of the Company (plus other relevant items) will be allocated to the assets of the Company and to the non-compete obligations of the Sellers hereunder for all Tax purposes in a manner consistent with Sections 338 and 1060 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder as reasonably determined by the Purchaser (the “Allocation”), which Allocation shall be presented to the Seller Representative for its review and consent. Any disputes shall be resolved mutatis mutandis in the manner described in Section 7.4(d)(ii) and Section 7.4(d)(iii) as if the Allocation were the Proposed Section 338(h)(10) Statement. Sellers, the Company and the Purchaser agree to prepare and file an IRS Form 8594 or such other form or statement as may be required by applicable Law, and any comparable state or local income Tax form, in a manner consistent with the Allocation. The Purchaser, the Company and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports and communicate with taxing authorities in a manner consistent with such values and allocation. If any adjustments are made to the Purchase Price after the Allocation is otherwise final, the parties agree to cooperate in updating the Allocation, which Allocation shall be binding on the parties.

(f) Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(i) Purchaser, the Company and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company, Sellers, and Purchaser agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records.

(ii) Purchaser and Sellers further agree, upon the written request of the other, to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to

- 44 -

mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(iii) The Purchaser and the Sellers further agree, upon request, to provide each other party all information that the other parties may be required to report pursuant to Sections 6043 and 6043A of the Code and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(g) Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax-sharing agreements or other similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(h) Transfer Taxes. All liabilities for sales, use, value-added, registration, documentary, stamp and transfer Taxes, recording charges and similar Taxes, fees or charges imposed on the Company, and not resulting from the Purchaser’s (or any of its Affiliates’) status as a buyer hereunder, as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), together with any interest, penalties or additions to such Transfer Taxes, shall be paid by the Sellers. Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall cooperate in filing all necessary Tax Returns under applicable Law with respect to Transfer Taxes.

7.5 Seller Representative.

(a) Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints John R. Clementi (the “Seller Representative”) as such Seller’s representative, attorney-in-fact and agent, with full power of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller, to act on behalf of such Seller after the Closing in any amendment of or litigation or arbitration involving this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as the Seller Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate after the Closing, including the power (i) to give and receive all notices and communications to be given or received under this Agreement and to receive service of process in connection with any claims under this Agreement, including service of process in connection with arbitration, and (ii) to take all actions which under this Agreement may be taken by the Sellers and to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Sellers which the Seller Representative deems necessary or appropriate in its sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as such Sellers could do if personally present, including settling or resolving any claims under Section 1.4 or Article VI hereof.

(b) The Seller Representative will not be liable for any act taken or omitted by it as permitted under this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement (including the execution of instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to distribute funds to any Person as described herein), except if taken or omitted in bad faith or by willful misconduct. The Seller Representative will also be fully protected in relying upon any written notice, demand, certificate or document that it in good faith believes to be genuine (including facsimiles thereof).

- 45 -

(c) The Sellers agree, severally (based on their respective Pro Rata Shares) but not jointly, to indemnify the Seller Representative for, and to hold the Seller Representative harmless against, any Loss, Liability or expense incurred without willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Seller Representative, arising out of or in connection with the Seller Representative’s carrying out its duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any related agreement, including costs and expenses of successfully defending the Seller Representative against any claim of liability with respect thereto. The Seller Representative may consult with counsel of its own choice and will have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or suffered by it in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.5 shall release or hold harmless any Seller or the Seller Representative from their obligations to the Purchaser under this Agreement, or otherwise operate to the detriment of the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement.

(e) The Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to rely upon any action taken and any agreements or amendments entered into by the Seller Representative in its capacity as such, and shall have no liability or obligation to any Seller in respect thereof.

7.6 Release.

Each Seller hereby unconditionally and irrevocably acquits, remises, discharges and forever releases the Purchaser, the Company and their respective Affiliates, partners, managers, trustees, employees, officers, directors and agents (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all Liabilities, Losses and obligations of every kind whatsoever, whether accrued or fixed, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured or determined or determinable, including those arising under any Law, contract, agreement, arrangement, commitment or undertaking, whether written or oral to the extent arising on or prior to the date hereof; provided that Liabilities and obligations acquitted, remised, discharged and released pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall not include (i) any rights of a Seller under this Agreement and other documents and agreements executed in consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) accrued and unpaid salary owing to a Seller for the pay period that includes the Closing Date, (iii) unpaid benefits of a Seller accrued under each Employee Plan, to the extent such benefits have accrued prior to the Closing Date, (iv) rights of a Seller to reimbursement of business expenses of incurred in the ordinary course of business and the policies and practices of the Company, as applicable, and (v) rights of a Seller pertaining to Excluded Assets.

- 46 -

7.7 Transition.

In order to assist with an orderly transition, among other things, the Purchaser agrees that it and the Company, following Closing, shall: (i) retain the Seller Representative as an employee at his current salary with the exclusive right to access and use his existing office space, (ii) retain secretary of the Seller Representative as an employee at her current salary with the right to access and use her existing office space, and (iii) provide the Seller Representative and his secretary with related administrative services provided to all employees generally, in each case, through December 31, 2010 or such later date as may be mutually extended by parties; provided that Seller Representative shall not be entitled to any separation pay, severance or similar payments upon the termination of such relationship with the Company. The Seller Representative shall only be expected to work on a limited basis and be available during normal business hours in person or by phone to consider questions of Purchaser regarding the transition of the Business.

(b) Machines; Clementi Automobile.

(i) In addition, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Seller Representative shall have the option, which may be exercised by him at anytime during the ninety (90) days following the Closing, to purchase the Purchase Option Machines by the payment of $66,738.04 (which represents the aggregate net book value of both such machines) to the Company. If the Seller Representative exercises such right, he shall notify the Company of the same and pay the required amount during such ninety (90) day period, and thereafter the Seller Representative shall be entitled, at no rental or similar cost or expense, to keep the Purchase Option Machines at the Company’s facility located at 4101 West Buckeye Road, Phoenix, Arizona and access such machines during normal business hours upon prior notice to inspect and/or remove the equipment, but not to operate the equipment; provided that neither the Purchaser, the Company nor any other Releasee shall have any Liability with respect to the Purchase Option Machines after the exercise of the purchase option, other than for damage to the Purchase Option Machines caused by the gross negligence of such Releasee and, in such case, the maximum liability of all Releasees in the aggregate shall not exceed the net book value of such Purchase Option Machine; provided further that, unless otherwise consented by the landlord for such facility, the Purchase Option Machines shall be removed from the premises on or prior to the date that the Company’s lease for such facility expires, at the Seller Representative’s sole cost, expense and risk and shall indemnify the Releasees for any damage to the facilities related to such Purchase Option Machines. If the Seller Representative exercises the purchase option in accordance with the above, the Purchaser agrees to cause the Company, and the Company agrees to, execute such bill of sale and other assignment related documents, and provide any related lien releases necessary and reasonably required by the Seller Representative to effectuate the transfer of the title free and clear of liens to the Seller Representative. Any such transfer shall be made on an “as-is, where-is” basis without representation or warranty and any transfer of the Purchase Option Machines shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Seller Representative. From and after the date that the purchase option is exercised, the Purchased Option Machines shall be Excluded Assets hereunder.

- 47 -

(ii) The parties acknowledge that, prior to the Closing, the Company leased an automobile for use by the Seller Representative as described in that certain Lease Agreement (the “Auto Lease”), dated as of April 28, 2010, by and between the Company and Mercedes-Benz Financial (the “Leased Automobile”) and made all lease payments and pay all insurance premiums with respect thereto. The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that, on and after the Closing, Seller Representative shall, at his own cost, expense and risk, retain the Leased Automobile. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative acknowledges and agrees that (A) he shall assume all responsibilities and obligations of the Company under the Auto Lease and otherwise with respect to the Leased Automobile, including the payment of any insurance premiums with respect thereto, (B) he shall cause there to be sufficient insurance on the Leased Automobile, (C) the Company shall not be responsible for any Liabilities with respect to the Leased Automobile after the Closing and (D) he shall hold the Company harmless with respect to any Liabilities incurred by the Company with respect to or by reason of the Leased Automobile. The parties hereto agree to take, or cause to be taken all action, and to do, or cause to be done all things reasonably necessary to transfer and assign the Auto Lease from the Company to the Seller Representative as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date.

(iii) The Purchaser agrees that it shall cause to be removed from the Company’s former facility located at 25 Tucker Drive, Leominster, MA 01453 those certain machines listed on Exhibit F hereto at Purchaser’s own expense on the date that is the later of 90 days after the Closing or 30 days following receipt by the Purchaser of written notice of a sale of such facility.

(c) Salary Continuation Agreements and Split Dollar Life Insurance. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has made its best good faith efforts to induce the Purchaser to assume the SC/SD Plan and the obligations thereunder. The Purchaser has elected not to assume the SC/SD Plan or any obligations thereunder. Therefore, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree as follows:

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the SC/SD Plan and benefits and obligations with respect thereto are, for the avoidance of doubt, collectively deemed to be Excluded Assets and Excluded Liabilities hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that the aggregate amount by which the holdback from the Purchase Price is not sufficient to pay all Liabilities related to the SC/SD Plan that are not paid with proceeds of the Purchase Price, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall have all indemnification rights hereunder with respect to such as Excluded Liabilities.

(ii) The participants in the SC/SD Plan listed on Schedule 7.7(c)(ii) have not yet reached the age of 65 or otherwise have not begun, and were not yet entitled to begin to, receive salary continuation payments or any other benefits under the SC/SD Plan as of the Closing Date. The Company has caused each such participant’s respective Salary Continuation Agreements to be terminated in accordance with their terms upon, and subject only to, the consummation of the Closing and related payments, and the

- 48 -

Company shall (1) repay the outstanding loans with respect to the split dollar life insurance policies of such individuals (such payments to be made with Purchase Price proceeds at the Closing), and (2) transfer each respective split dollar life insurance policy to such individuals as required by the split dollar life insurance agreements in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the SC/SD Plan. The payments and transfers described in the preceding sentence shall be made on or as soon as practicable following the Closing Date (but in any event not later than the Company’s second payroll date following the Closing Date), provided such timing limitation shall not apply with respect to the policy transfers if the Company has executed the same and is diligently tracking down the execution of the assignment forms by the applicable participant).

(iii) The participants in the SC/SD Plan listed on Schedule 7.7(c)(iii) have reached the age of 65 or otherwise began, or were entitled to begin, to receive salary continuation payments or other benefits under the SC/SD Plan as of the Closing Date. With respect to each such participant the Company (x) has received an executed termination agreement from each such participant as previously delivered to the Purchaser and (y) will (1) pay such participant a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the outstanding payments required to be made under their respective Salary Continuation Agreements, less applicable taxes (such payments to be made with Purchase Price proceeds in accordance with this paragraph) and in full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations under the SC/SD Plan; and (2) surrender each of the split dollar life insurance policies held by the Company (and not required to be assigned in accordance with clause (ii) above) to obtain the cash surrender value therefor. With respect to the amount required to be paid under clause (1) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall be entitled to set aside from the Purchase Price proceeds in an amount equal to all Liabilities related to its obligations under this Section 7.7(c)(iii), and the Company will promptly on or after the Closing (and in any event not later than the second payroll date for the Company after the Closing) cause ADP to deliver checks to each participant for the respective amount to which such participant is entitled; and upon the Company’s receipt of any and all cash surrender value amounts to be paid to the Company under clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company will promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such cash surrender value amounts) wire such amount to the Seller Representative, less any amount by which the Liabilities related to its obligations under this Section 7.7(c)(iii) exceeded the holdback amount from the Purchase Price in respect of such obligations.

(iv) In connection with and following the execution hereof and the Closing, the Purchaser, the Company, and/or the Seller Representative shall execute and or deliver any documents that may be required to effectuate the covenants and requirements set forth above.

(d) Reserves. To the extent that after the Closing, the Company receives any return or refund of any amount included in the computation of Closing Indebtedness, the Company shall promptly (in any event within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such amounts) wire such amount or refund to the Seller Representative, but only to the extent that such amount or refund was not included as a current asset or contra-liability in the computation

- 49 -

of Closing Net Working Capital. The Seller Representative shall reimburse the Company for any actual out of pocket cost or expense reasonably incurred by the Company in collecting such refund or other amount.

7.8 Clementi Pail.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (i) the parties hereto agree that the Company does not own any proprietary rights in the Clementi Pail and following the Closing, shall not retain any interest of any kind in or other right to use the Clementi Pail, and (ii) the Purchaser shall not at any time, on behalf of the Company, itself or otherwise, pursue, assert or make any claim that it or the Company has any proprietary right, right to use or other interest in the Clementi Pail of any kind (with it being understood and agreed that to the extent the Purchaser and/or the Company has any such claims, each hereby expressly waives and releases the same), except in each such case any rights or claims that the Company and/or any of its Affiliates may have pursuant to a license agreement to be entered into between the Seller Representative and the Company and/or one or more of its Affiliates after the Closing (the “Clementi Pail License Agreement”). Each of the Company and the Seller Representative agrees, during the 150-day period after the Closing Date (the “Pail Negotiation Period”), to negotiate the Clementi Pail License Agreement in good faith. Among other things, any such Clementi Pail License Agreement shall provide that the Company and its Affiliates shall license the Clementi Pail (and all Intellectual Property related thereto) from the Seller Representative on an exclusive basis for a royalty payment equal to $0.035 per Clementi Pail sold by the Company and its Affiliates during the term of the Clementi Pail License Agreement and which may include a provision pursuant to which the exclusivity of such license may terminate if the aggregate royalty payments are less than a mutually agreed-upon amount during the term of the Clementi Pail License Agreement.

7.9 Post-Closing Operation of the Company.

Other than the obligations and Liabilities with respect to which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties have right to indemnification hereunder, the Company shall remain responsible for its own obligations and Liabilities to the extent arising from the operation of the Business from and after the Closing.
