(a)           Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such Transaction Document shall constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise transfer, or require the Buyer to assume any obligations under, any Assigned Contract if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would, without the consent of a third party to such assignment or transfer, constitute a breach thereof, would be ineffective, would affect adversely the rights of the Buyer thereunder or would violate any applicable Law.

6

If any such consent has not been obtained as of the Closing Date and the Buyer nevertheless determines to proceed with the Closing, the Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain such consent following the Closing, and the Buyer will provide reasonable cooperation to the Sellers in seeking to obtain any such consent.

(b)           If any Assigned Contract is not transferred to the Buyer for lack of consent as described above at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement (a “Post-Closing Assigned Contract”), the Sellers shall cooperate with the Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide for the Buyer all of the benefits of, and to have the Buyer assume the burdens, liabilities, obligations and expenses with respect to, such Post-Closing Assigned Contract.  In such event, until such consent has been obtained, (i) the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform in the applicable Seller’s name, all of the applicable Seller’s obligations with respect to each Post-Closing Assigned Contract, and (ii) the Sellers shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Buyer to enforce for the benefit of the Buyer any and all rights of the Sellers with respect to any such Post-Closing Assigned Contract.

(c)           The Sellers hereby authorize the Buyer to perform all of their respective obligations after the Closing with respect to all Post-Closing Assigned Contracts and the Sellers hereby grant to the Buyer a power of attorney to act in the name of the Sellers with respect thereto.  Such power of attorney shall be coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.  The power of attorney granted to the Buyer pursuant to this Section will expire upon the actual assignment of the Post-Closing Assigned Contracts to the Buyer, at which time such Post-Closing Assigned Contracts will constitute an Assigned Contract and an Acquired Asset of the Buyer as described in Section 1.1(a). The Sellers agree to remit promptly to the Buyer all collections or payments received by either Seller in respect of all such Post-Closing Assigned Contracts pursuant to this Section, and shall hold all such collections or payments in trust for the benefit of, and promptly pay the same over to, the Buyer; provided, however, that nothing herein shall create or provide any rights or benefits in or to third parties.

(d)           Nothing in this Section 1.7 shall be deemed to modify in any respect any of the Sellers’ representations or warranties set forth herein or be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Acquired Assets any assets described under Section 1.1.

1.8           Further Assurances.  At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of a party and without further consideration, the parties will execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and will take such further action, as may be reasonably requested in order to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to the Buyer, and to confirm the Buyer’s title in and to, the Acquired Assets and the Buyer Parties’ assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, and each of the parties shall execute such other documents and take such further action as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

8

This Agreement has been, and each of the Transaction Documents to which either Seller is a party, when executed and delivered by such Seller, will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by such Seller, and this Agreement constitutes, and each Transaction Document to which either Seller is a party, when executed and delivered by such Seller, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Seller enforceable against such Seller in accordance with its terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

3.4           Consents and Approvals.  The execution and delivery by each Seller of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which either Seller is a party or any other instrument or document required by this Agreement or any Transaction Document to be executed and delivered by either Seller do not, and the performance of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which either Seller is a party and any other instrument or document required by this Agreement or any Transaction Document to be executed and delivered by either Seller shall not, require either Seller to obtain any Approval of any Person or Approval of, observe any waiting period imposed by, or make any filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority.

3.5           No Violation.  The execution and delivery by each Seller of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which either Seller is a party or any other instrument or document required by this Agreement or any Transaction Document to be executed and delivered by either Seller do not, and the performance of this Agreement, the Transaction Documents to which either Seller is a party or any other instrument or document required by this Agreement or any Transaction Document to be executed and delivered by either Seller, will not, (a) conflict with or violate the Organizational Documents of either Seller, (b) conflict with or violate any Law or Order applicable to either Seller or by which either Seller or any of their respective properties are bound or affected, or (c) result in any breach or violation of or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or impair either Seller’s rights or alter the rights or obligations of any third party under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Acquired Assets pursuant to, any Contract to which either Seller is a party or is otherwise bound, or any Approval to which either Seller is a party or by which either Seller or it or any of its properties are bound or affected.

3.6           Approvals and Orders.  Section 3.6 of the Disclosure Schedule contains a true, correct and complete list of all Approvals and Orders that have been issued, granted or otherwise made available by any Governmental Authority to either Seller in connection with the operation of the Business (the “Acquired Business Licenses”).  Each Acquired Business License is valid and in full force and effect, no Acquired Business License is subject to any Lien, or except as provided therein or constituting a part thereof, any limitation, restriction, probation or other qualification and there is no material default under any Acquired Business License or, to the knowledge of the Sellers, any basis for the assertion of any material default thereunder.

There is no Action pending or, to the knowledge of the Sellers, threatened that could reasonably be expected to result in the termination, revocation, limitation, suspension, restriction or impairment of any Acquired Business License or the imposition of any fine, penalty or other sanctions for violation of any legal or regulatory requirements relating to any Acquired Business License or, to the knowledge of the Sellers, any basis therefor. The Sellers have all Approvals of Governmental Authorities that are or were necessary in order to enable the Sellers to own and operate the Acquired Assets and to conduct the Acquired Businesses.  All Acquired Business Licenses are validly held by the Sellers, and each Seller has complied in all material respects with the terms and conditions of each Acquired Business License held by it.

3.7           Title to and Condition of Properties; Sufficiency of Assets.  Each Seller is the sole and exclusive legal and equitable owner of all right, title and interest in, and has good, clear, indefeasible and marketable title to, all of the Acquired Assets purported to be owned by such Seller and has the valid, enforceable and sufficient right to use all of the other Acquired Assets used or held by such Seller, free and clear of all Liens.  All tangible assets and properties included in the Acquired Assets have been maintained in accordance with normal industry practice and are in operating condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear and there has not been any material interruption of the operations of the Acquired Businesses due to the condition of any such assets or properties. The Acquired Assets comprise all material assets, properties and rights necessary for the operation of the Business in the manner in which the Business is currently operated, it being understood by the Buyer Parties, however, that certain assets and services used in the operation of the Business such as, but not limited to, accounting functions and services and internet access capability, have been provided by Sellers and are not part of the Acquired Assets (“Sellers’ Assets”).

3.8           Financial Statements.  Attached hereto as Section 3.8(a) of the Disclosure Schedule are the unaudited schedule of Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities as of December 31, 2008 and the related statements of income for the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2008 (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements are complete and correct in all material respects, and have been prepared in accordance with sound business and accounting practices, and fairly present in all material respects the results of operations and the financial position of the Business as at and for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2008.  Also, included as part of Section 3.8 of the Disclosure Schedule, for Buyer’s information (but without representation by the Sellers) are statements of income for each quarterly period in 2008.

3.9           Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.  Except as and to the amounts specifically accrued or disclosed in the Financial Statements or in the Disclosure Schedule, neither Seller has any Liabilities arising from the operation of the Business, except for Liabilities of the nature that are required by GAAP to be disclosed that were incurred in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice since December 31, 2008 and except for Liabilities as would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), properties, assets, liabilities, operations, results of operations or prospects of the Business or either of the Sellers’ ability to perform its obligations as contemplated in this Agreement.

10

3.10         Absence of Certain Events.  Since January 1, 2009, the Sellers have conducted the Business only in the ordinary and usual course and in a manner consistent with past practices and there has not been any change, event, development, damage or circumstance affecting the Acquired Assets or the Business which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect.

3.11         Tax Matters.  All Taxes arising from the operation of the Business have been timely paid or are fully accrued in the Financial Statements or in the financial records of the Sellers.   All Taxes that either Seller is or was required by Law to have withheld or collected in connection with the operation of the Business have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper Governmental Authority.  Neither Seller has been informed by any jurisdiction that such jurisdiction believes that such Seller was required to file any Tax Return in connection with the ownership or operation of the Acquired Assets or the Business that was not filed.  Neither Seller has been a United States real property holding corporation within the meaning of Section 897(c)(2) of the Code during the applicable period specified in Section 897(c)(1)(A)(ii) of the Code, and no withholding pursuant to Section 1445 of the Code will be required in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. There are no Liens with respect to Taxes upon any of the Acquired Assets.

3.12         Intellectual Property; Privacy.

Each party shall act reasonably and in accordance with its good faith business judgment in handling a Third Party Claim.

6.7                                 Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a)           If Losses with respect to any claim for indemnification under Section 6.2 may be covered by an insurance policy of any Indemnifying Party, at the request of an Indemnified Party and without further consideration, such Indemnifying Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek and recover all payments under any such insurance policy to which such Indemnifying Party may be entitled with respect to such Losses and pay over such amounts to the applicable Indemnified Party.

(b)           The Seller Indemnifying Parties shall have no indemnity obligation with respect to any claim for Losses that are wholly or partly attributable to any voluntary act, omission, transaction or arrangement of the Buyer Parties from and after the Closing Date.

6.8                                 Exclusive Remedy.  Except for (i) the availability of injunctive relief, (ii) as provided in Section 6.6, and (iii) any claim by the Sellers for payment of the Note, the Sellers and the Buyer Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing Date, the indemnification provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Sellers and Buyer Parties, respectively, for any breach of the representations or warranties in this Agreement, for any failure to perform or comply with any covenants or agreements contained herein or otherwise with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.  In furtherance of the foregoing, except as set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) in the first sentence of this Section 6.8, each party hereto hereby waives, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, any and all rights, claims and causes of action they may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates from and after the Closing Date arising under or based upon any applicable Law or otherwise, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VI.
