(a)                                  The 2009 EBITDA, the 2010 EBITDA, the 2011 EBITDA and, if applicable, the 2012 EBITDA shall be determined on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the receipt by Buyer, of the final audited consolidated financial statements of the Company, for Fiscal 2009, Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012, as applicable, and in any event no later than March 31 of 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013, as applicable; provided that if the 2009 EBITDA, 2010 EBITDA, 2011 EBITDA or 2012 EBITDA is disputed pursuant to this Section 2.5, such determination shall occur on such later date as the 2009 EBITDA, 2010 EBITDA, 2011 EBITDA or 2012 EBITDA, as applicable, shall have been finally determined hereunder (the date described in this sentence, the “Determination Date”).

(b)                                 No later than ten (10) business days following issuance of the audited financial statements of the Company for Fiscal 2009, Fiscal 2010, Fiscal 2011 and Fiscal 2012, as applicable, the Company shall deliver a copy thereof to the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative, together with a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, which certificate shall set forth the Company’s calculation of the 2009 EBITDA, 2010 EBITDA, 2011

4

EBITDA or 2012 EBITDA, as applicable.  Time is of the essence with respect to the delivery of such certificate.

(c)                                  If the Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative shall disagree with such determination of the 2009 EBITDA, 2010 EBITDA, 2011 EBITDA or 2012 EBITDA, as applicable, the disagreeing party shall notify the other party on or before the date which is thirty (30) days after the date on which the Company delivers to the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative such statement of the Company’s 2009 EBITDA, 2010 EBITDA, 2011 EBITDA or 2012 EBITDA, as applicable.  Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such disagreements.  If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to resolve all such disagreements on or before the date which is fifteen (15) days after notification by the disagreeing party of any such disagreements, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall retain a nationally or regionally recognized independent public accounting firm not engaged by either the Company, Buyer or Parent at such time upon whom the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer shall mutually agree (such accounting firm being referred to as the “Final Accounting Firm”), to resolve all such disagreements.  If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative are unable to agree on the choice of an accounting firm, then Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall select a nationally or regionally recognized accounting firm by lot (after each submits a list of five names, excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms), which firm shall be the “Final Accounting Firm.”  The Final Accounting Firm shall adjudicate only those items still in dispute with respect to the calculation of the 2009 EBITDA, 2010 EBITDA, 2011 EBITDA or 2012 EBITDA, as applicable.  The determination by the Final Accounting Firm shall be binding and conclusive on both the Sellers and Buyer.

(d)                                 The Final Accounting Firm shall offer the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer the opportunity to provide written submissions regarding their positions on the disputed matters, which written submissions shall be provided to the Final Accounting Firm, if at all, no later than ten (10) days after the date of referral of the disputed matters to the Final Accounting Firm.  The Final Accounting Firm shall deliver a written report resolving only the disputed matters and setting forth the basis for such resolution within thirty (30) days after the date of referral of the disputed matters to the Final Accounting Firm.  The determination of the Final Accounting Firm with respect to the correctness of each matter in dispute shall be final and binding on the parties.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Final Accounting Firm shall be borne entirely by the Buyer, if all the disputed matters are resolved in favor of the Sellers and by the Sellers, if all the disputed matters are resolved in favor of the Buyer.  Otherwise, the fees, costs and expenses of the Final Accounting Firm shall be allocated between the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, 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.  For example, if the Sellers’ Representative claims that the 2010 EBITDA is $1,000 greater than the amount determined by the Company, and the Buyer contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Sellers’ Representative, and if the Final Accounting Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Sellers’ Representative $300 of the $500 contested amount, then the costs and expenses of the Final Accounting will be allocated 60% (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to the Buyer and 40% (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to the Sellers.  The Final Accounting Firm shall conduct its determination activities in a manner wherein all materials submitted to it are held in confidence and shall not be disclosed to third parties.  The parties hereto agree that judgment may be entered

5

upon the determination of the Final Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(e)                                  The dispute resolution provisions of this Section 2.5 shall not apply to, and the scope of the Final Accounting Firm’s authority herein shall not extend to, any dispute of the Parties relating to the interpretation, breach or enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 4.8             Tax Matters.

(a)                                  The total amounts set forth as charges, accruals and reserves for current Taxes (rather than any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and tax income) on the Most Recent Balance Sheet and the Interim Balance Sheet (in each case on the face thereof and not in any notes thereto) are, and the total amounts accrued and fully disclosed on the books and records of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the period commencing on the day following the Interim Balance Sheet Date and ending on the Closing Date will be, sufficient for the payment of all Taxes, whether or not measured in whole or in part by net income, and whether disputed or not, which are hereafter found to be, or to have been, due with respect to the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries up to and through the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date, the Interim Balance Sheet Date and the Closing Date, respectively.  The charges, accruals and reserves for the period from the Interim Balance Sheet Date to the Closing Date will be computed consistently with the charges, accruals and reserves on the Most Recent Balance Sheet and the Interim Balance Sheet, and all such charges, accruals and reserves during such period will reflect only activities in the ordinary course of business of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b)                                 All Tax Returns (as such term is defined in Section 13.1) required to be filed by the Company and its Subsidiaries were filed on a timely basis (after giving effect to any extensions of the time for filing) and were in all material respects true, complete and accurate.

(c)                                  The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has paid, within the time and in the manner prescribed by Law, all Taxes that are due and payable (whether or not shown on any Tax Returns), and to the extent such Taxes have not been paid such Taxes are not delinquent, nor has any of them requested any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return, which Tax Return has not since been filed (within such extension of time).

(d)                                 Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes and has, within the time and in the manner prescribed by Law, withheld from employee wages and payments to independent contractors, members of the Company and its Subsidiaries or other

10

third parties and paid over to the proper Governmental Authorities all amounts required to be so withheld and paid over under all applicable Laws.

(e)                                  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.8, no deficiency for any Taxes has been proposed, asserted or assessed against the Company and its Subsidiaries which has not been resolved and paid in full to the extent required by an such resolution.  None of the Tax Returns of the Company and its Subsidiaries is presently subject to an extension of the applicable statute of limitations which has been consented to or granted.

(c)                                  None of the matters set forth on Schedule 4.22, or any aggregation thereof, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.23           Employee Benefit Plans.  Schedule 4.23 and Schedule 4.11 lists all employee benefit plans maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries or to which any of the Company and its Subsidiaries is obligated (or at any time within the last six years, has been obligated) to contribute or with respect to which any of the Company and its Subsidiaries has any Liability, including each single employer, multiemployer and multiple employer pension, profit-sharing, equity (e.g., membership or other limited liability company interest) bonus, money purchase, retirement, welfare benefit, savings, insurance, vacation pay, severance pay, equity purchase, equity option, phantom equity, incentive or deferred compensation and bonus plan or arrangement, and any other employee benefit plan covering any of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ employees, consultants, agents and ex-employees, or any of their respective dependents and beneficiaries (collectively, the “Employee Benefit Plans”).  None of the Employee Benefit Plans that are not qualified plans under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code provides or promises benefits to ex-employees (including retirees) of the Company or its Subsidiaries or their dependents or beneficiaries, except as set forth on Schedule 4.23 and as otherwise specifically required under Section 4980B of the Code or other similar laws with respect to continuation of coverage.  All Employee Benefit Plans have been operated in all material respects in accordance with their terms.  All Employee Benefit Plans that are subject to the terms of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), the Code, or other statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations comply in form and operation in all material respects with ERISA, the Code, and such other statutes, laws, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, as applicable.  In the case of each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and exempt from income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, a determination has been received from the appropriate District Director of Internal Revenue Service that such plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code and the trust created thereunder is exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and no facts or circumstances exist that could adversely affect the qualified status of any such plan or the tax exemption of any such trust.  No such Employee Benefit Plan has incurred any accumulated funding deficiency (within the meaning of ERISA or the Code) and each of the Company and its Subsidiaries has no Liability or potential Liability on account of an accumulated funding deficiency with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.  There has been no transaction involving any Employee Benefit Plan which is a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA or the Code in connection with which the Company or its Subsidiaries would be subject to Liability under ERISA or any Tax Liability imposed by the Code, or which would subject any such Employee Benefit Plan or the Company or its Subsidiaries to a penalty under ERISA, the Code or any other statute, law, ordinance, code, rule or regulation.  There has been no complete or partial termination of any Employee Benefit Plan.  None of the Employee Benefit Plans listed on Schedule 4.23 or Schedule 4.11 provides for additional or accelerated payments or other consideration to be made on account of the transactions contemplated hereby.

No suit, action, claim (other than claims by employees for benefits in the ordinary course of business under a medical insurance plan or claims for vacation pay in the ordinary course of business), proceeding, investigation or arbitration has been made or instituted or, to the

22

Knowledge of the Company, threatened, with respect to any such Employee Benefit Plan or any assets thereof.

All contributions or payments required to be made to such Employee Benefit Plans by their terms, the terms of any relevant collective bargaining agreement(s) or any other applicable Law, before or after the Closing Date, with respect to all periods or events occurring prior to the Closing Date (including all insurance premiums) have been properly paid or accrued (to the extent required under GAAP, ERISA or the Code) on the books of account of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date (including a pro rata share with respect to any period including the Closing Date based on the ratio of the number of days in such period to the total number of days in the fiscal year of the applicable Employee Benefit Plan).  The Liabilities for all benefits provided pursuant to the Employee Benefit Plans set forth on Schedule 4.23 or Schedule 4.11 have been truly and accurately provided for on the books of account of the Company.

True, complete and accurate copies of the documents setting forth the terms of each Employee Benefit Plan listed on Schedule 4.23 or Schedule 4.11, including plans, agreements, amendments, trusts and all related contracts and other agreements (including corporate resolutions and minutes relating to any Employee Benefit Plan) and, where applicable, copies of each Employee Benefit Plan’s: (i) most recent summary plan descriptions and modifications thereto; (ii) notices distributed to employees, consultants, agents, dependents and other beneficiaries with regard to any Employee Benefit Plan and any continuation of coverage required under law; (iii) most recent favorable Internal Revenue Service determination letters; (iv) three most recent annual reports (IRS Forms 5500), including audited financial statements (if any) and all schedules thereto; and (v) five most recent actuarial reports, have heretofore been delivered to Buyer.  There are no oral modifications to any of such Employee Benefit Plans.

With respect to each Employee Benefit Plan which is an employee pension benefit plan (as defined in Section 3(2) of ERISA) and that is subject to Title IV of ERISA, (i) the market value of assets under such plan equals or exceeds the present value of all vested and nonvested liabilities thereunder (determined in accordance with then-current funding assumptions) and (ii) such plan has not been completely or partially terminated during the past six years.  None of the Employee Benefit Plans is a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37)) of ERISA.

For purposes of this Section 4.23, “Company” includes the Company and any trade or business (whether or not incorporated) that is a member of the same “controlled group” of corporations as, or is treated as being under “common control” with, within the meaning of Sections 414(b), (c), (m) and (o) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, the Company.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.23, the Company is not a member of any such “controlled group.”

With respect to any nonqualified deferred compensation plan of the Company or its Subsidiaries that is subject to Section 409A of the Code, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any obligation to any person to cause any such plan to comply with Section 409A of the Code or to provide any “gross-up” or similar payment to any person in the event any such plan fails to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

23

No benefit or amount payable or which may become payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Employee Benefit Plan, agreement or contract with any employee shall constitute an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, which is or may be subject to the imposition of an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code or which would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G of the Code.

Section 4.24           Employees; Compensation.  Schedule 4.24 lists each of the directors, officers, managers and executive level employees, as the case may be, of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.24, none of the persons set forth on Schedule 4.24 has notified any of the Company or any of the Sellers in writing (including email) that he intends to resign or retire as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.  Schedule 4.24 contains a schedule of all employees, consultants and representatives of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries who, individually, during the twelve-month period ended December 31 of the most recently completed calendar year, received, or, during the twelve-month period ending December 31 of the current calendar year, will receive, direct remuneration from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (in the aggregate) in excess of $100,000, together with the current aggregate base salary, hourly rate (including any bonus), consulting fee or commission based compensation for each such Person.  All salaries, bonuses, commissions, incentive payments and other compensation required to be made to any employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any Employee Benefit Plan, contract, agreement or other arrangement, or pursuant to applicable Law, before or after the Initial Closing Date, with respect to all periods or events occurring prior to the Initial Closing Date have been, or will be, properly paid or accrued (to the extent required under GAAP, ERISA or the Code) on the books of account of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Initial Closing Date.  Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has not (i) taken any action which, alone or in conjunction with actions taken by the Sellers or Buyer prior to the Initial Closing Date, would constitute a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” within the meaning of the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (“WARN”) or which would require the giving of notice or the payment of severance or other similar benefits under any applicable Law; or (ii) issued any notification of a plant closing or mass layoff required by WARN or by any such applicable Law.  Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has complied in all material respects with all applicable laws relating to employment, including those relating to wages, hours, collective bargaining, immigration, occupational health and safety, workers’ hazardous materials, employment standards, pay equity, tax withholding and workers’ compensation.  Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has at all times in the last three years properly classified each of their respective employees as employees, each of their respective “leased employees” (within the meaning of Section 414(n) of the Code) as leased employees, and each of their independent contractors as independent contractors, as applicable.

Section 4.25           Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.  Neither the Company, nor any Subsidiary of the Company, nor any officer, manager, director, nor to the Knowledge of the Company, any employee, consultant, member or agent thereof acting on its behalf has made, directly or indirectly, any payment or promise to pay, or gift or promise to give or authorized such a promise or gift, of any money or anything of value, directly or indirectly, to:  (a) any foreign official (as such term is defined in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”)) for the purpose of influencing any official act or decision of such official or inducing him to use his influence to affect any act or decision of a foreign government, or any agency or

24

subdivision thereof; or (b) any foreign political party or official thereof or candidate for foreign political office for the purpose of influencing any official act or decision of such party, official or candidate or inducing such party, official or candidate to use his or its influence to affect any act or decision of a foreign government or agency or subdivision thereof, in the case of both (a) and (b) above in order to assist the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to obtain or retain business for or direct business to the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company and under circumstances which would subject the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company to liability under the FCPA, if the Company or any such Subsidiary of the Company had been subject to the provisions thereof.

Section 4.26           Insurance.  Schedule 4.26 sets forth all policies or binders of fire, liability, workmen’s compensation, vehicular or other insurance held by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (specifying the insurer, the policy number or covering note number with respect to binders and there are no pending claims thereunder), and all self-insurance arrangements.  Such policies and binders are in full force and effect and insure against risks and liabilities customary for the business in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is engaged.  Each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries is not in default, in any material respect, with respect to any provision contained in any such policy or binder nor has failed to give any notice or present any material claim under any such policy or binder in due and timely fashion.  There are no outstanding unpaid claims under any such policy or binder.  Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received a notice of cancellation or nonrenewal of any such policy or binder.  Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of the Sellers  has any knowledge of any inaccuracy in any application for such policies or binders, any failure to pay premiums when due or any similar state of facts which might form the basis for termination of any such insurance.

Section 4.27           Operations of the Company.  Except as specifically set forth elsewhere herein or in the Schedules or Exhibits hereto, since the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date through the date hereof, the Company has operated its businesses in the ordinary course of business.  Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has not, except with the consent of the Buyer or a representative of the Buyer who was then serving as a member of the Management Board of the Company:

(viii)        committed to do any of the foregoing.

(a)                                  Notwithstanding any right of Buyer to investigate fully the affairs of the Company and notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by Buyer pursuant to such investigation or right of investigation, Buyer has the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Company and the Sellers contained in this Agreement, notwithstanding Buyer’s or Parent’s knowledge thereof, whether actual or constructive, at the time of the Initial Closing, any Subsequent Closing or otherwise, but subject to Section 12.6.  Any claim for indemnification under Section 12.1(a) in respect of a breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties of the Company and/or the Sellers (other than a claim for indemnification under Section 12.1(a)(i)(C) or Section 12.1(a)(ii)(C) which may be made at any time) must be made with reasonable specificity within the following periods: (a) with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers made or deemed made at the time of the Initial Closing, within eighteen (18) months of the Initial Closing Date, (b) with respect to the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers made or deemed made at the time of any Subsequent Closing, within twelve (12) months of the applicable Subsequent Closing Date on which such representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers were made or deemed made; provided, however, that any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.3 (Capitalization), Section 4.8 (Tax Matters), Section 4.30 (No Broker), or Section 5.6 (No Broker), may be made in writing with reasonable specificity prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and that any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.1 (Title to Interests) may be made at any time (subject only to any applicable statute of limitations and any extensions or waivers thereof).  All statements contained in any Schedule hereto or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties by the part(ies) providing such statement or certificate or, with respect to non-natural persons only, on whose behalf such statement or certificate is provided.

(b)                                 Any claim for indemnification under Section 12.2(a) in respect of a breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties of the Buyer must be made with reasonable specificity within the following periods: (a) with respect to the representations and warranties of the Buyer made or deemed made at the time of the Initial Closing, within eighteen (18) months of the Initial Closing Date, (b) with respect to the representations and warranties of the Buyer made or deemed made at the time of any Subsequent Closing, within twelve (12) months of the applicable Subsequent Closing Date on which on which such representations and warranties of the Buyer were made or deemed made; provided, however, that any claim for indemnification in respect of any breach or alleged breach of the representations and warranties

44

contained in Section 6.4 (No Broker) may be made in writing with reasonable specificity prior to the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

Section 11.2           Termination of Agreement.  The parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(a)                                  The parties may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers’ Representative, on the other hand, at any time.

(b)                                 Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Sellers at any time prior to the Initial Closing (i) in the event that the Company or any of the Sellers has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Buyer has notified the Sellers’ Representative of such breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after such notice of breach; or (ii) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 30, 2008, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Article VIII (unless the failure results primarily from Buyer breaching any of its representations, warranties, or covenants contained in this Agreement).

(c)                                  The Sellers may terminate this Agreement by written notice from the Sellers’ Representative to Buyer at any time prior to the Initial Closing (i) in the event Buyer has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, the Sellers’ Representative has notified Buyer of such breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after such notice of breach; or (ii) if the Initial Closing shall not have occurred on or before November 30, 2008, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Article IX (unless the failure results primarily from any of the Sellers breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).

(d)                                 Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Sellers at any time prior to each Subsequent Closing (i) in the event that the Company or any of the Sellers has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Buyer has notified the Sellers’ Representative of such breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after such notice of breach; or (ii) if a Subsequent Closing shall not have occurred on or before (A) the Second Closing Termination Date, in the case of the Second Closing, (B) the Third Closing Termination Date, in the case of the Third Closing, and (C) the Fourth Closing Termination Date, in the case of the Fourth Closing, in each case by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Article X (unless the failure results primarily from Buyer breaching any of its representations, warranties, or covenants contained in this Agreement).

(e)                                  The Sellers may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to the Buyer at any time prior to each Subsequent Closing (i) in the event that the Buyer or Parent has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, the Sellers’ Representative has notified Buyer of such breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after such notice of breach; or (ii) if a Subsequent Closing shall not have occurred on or before (A) the Second Closing Termination Date, in the case of the Second Closing, (B) the Third Closing Termination Date, in the case of

45

the Third Closing, and (C) the Fourth Closing Termination Date, in the case of the Fourth Closing, in each case by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Article X (unless the failure results primarily from any of the Sellers breaching any of his or its representations, warranties, or covenants contained in this Agreement).

Section 11.3           Extension of Termination Dates.

(a)                                  In the event that the Second Closing is not consummated on or before the Second Closing Termination Date solely by reason of the fact that the condition set forth in Section 10.1(b)(i) was not satisfied, and the Buyer does not waive such condition, then the Second Closing Termination Date shall be automatically extended by a period of one year.  For purposes of clarification, and by way of illustration, if the Second Closing is not consummated on or before the Second Closing Termination Date by reason of the fact that any condition set forth in Section 10.1, other than Section 10.1(b)(i), has not been satisfied or waived by the Buyer, then the Second Closing Termination Date shall not be automatically extended and Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to, and subject to the conditions of, Section 11.2(b).

(b)                                 In the event that the Third Closing is not consummated on or before the Third Closing Termination Date solely by reason of the fact that the condition set forth in Section 10.1(b)(ii) was not satisfied, and the Buyer does not waive such condition, then, provided that the Second Closing Termination Date has not previously been extended pursuant to Section 11.3(a), the Third Closing Termination Date shall be automatically extended by a period of one year.  The last sentence of Section 11.3(a) is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth herein in its entirety.

(c)                                  In the event that the Fourth Closing is not consummated on or before the Fourth Closing Termination Date solely by reason of the fact that the condition set forth in Section 10.1(b)(iii) was not satisfied, and the Buyer does not waive such condition, then, provided that neither the Second Closing Termination Date nor the Third Closing Termination Date has previously been extended pursuant to Section 11.3(b) or Section 11.3(c), the Fourth Closing Termination Date shall be automatically extended by a period of one year.  The last sentence of Section 11.3(a) is incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth herein in its entirety.

Section 11.4           Effect of Termination.  If any party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2 above, all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate without any Liability of any party to any other party (except for any Liability of any party then in breach); provided, however, that Section 4.30 (No Broker), Section 5.6 (No Broker), Section 6.4 (No Broker), Section 7.7 (Confidentiality), Section 11.2 (Termination of this Agreement), Section 11.3 (Effect of Termination) and Article XIII (Miscellaneous) shall survive any such termination.

ARTICLE XII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 12.1           Obligation of the Company and the Sellers to Indemnify.

(a)                                  General.

46

(i)                                     Indemnification by the Company as to Representations and Covenants of the Company.  From and after the date hereof, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Parent, and their respective assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) from and against any Liabilities, losses, diminution in value of their respective interests in the Company, claims, damages, obligations, deficiencies, judgments, amounts paid in settlement of any suits, actions, claims, proceedings or investigations, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, interest, penalties, costs of investigation and defense, and attorney’s and accountant’s fees and disbursements (whether such attorney’s fees are incurred in a dispute between the parties or between a party and third parties)) (collectively, “Losses”) suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of or otherwise with respect to:

(A)                              any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article IV or in any document, certificate or other paper delivered by the Company pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(B)                                any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or other agreement of the Company contained herein or in any document or other paper delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(C)                                any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4.9 (without regard to the schedules to this Agreement) arising out of facts or circumstances existing prior to the date of the Initial Closing, whether or not set forth in the schedules to this Agreement and including the matters set forth in Schedule 4.9 to this Agreement or in the Quality Control Plan;

(ii)                                  Indemnification by the Principal Sellers as to Representations and Covenants of the Company.  From and after the time and date of the Initial Closing, each Principal Seller (as defined below), severally, and not jointly, in proportion to his or its Indemnification Percentage (as defined below), shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of or otherwise with respect to:

(A)                              any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article IV or in any document, certificate or other paper delivered by the Company pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(B)                                any failure by the Company to perform or comply with any covenant or other agreement of the Company contained herein or in any document or other paper delivered pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby;

(C)                                any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4.9 (without regard to the schedules to

47

this Agreement) arising out of facts or circumstances existing prior to the date of the Initial Closing, whether or not set forth in the schedules to this Agreement and including the matters set forth in Schedule 4.9 to this Agreement or in the Quality Control Plan;

(iii)                               Several Indemnification as to Certain Representations and Covenants of each Seller.  Each of the Sellers shall, severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of or otherwise with respect to:

(A)                              any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of such Seller contained in Article V or in any document or other paper delivered by such Seller (other than on a collective basis with the other Sellers) pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and/or

(B)                                any failure to perform or comply with any covenant of or other agreement of such Seller contained herein or in any document or other paper delivered by such Seller pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b)                                 Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 12.1(a), the following limitations to the indemnity obligations of the Company and the Sellers shall apply:

(i)                                     Until the Initial Closing shall have occurred, the Company shall only be responsible for any Losses which are attributable to a breach or inaccuracy described in Section 12.1(a)(i)(A) if all Losses attributable to such breaches or inaccuracies exceed $50,000, in which case the Company shall be responsible for all Losses in excess thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Losses attributable to breaches or inaccuracies arising out of fraud or willful misrepresentation, or breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Capitalization), Section 4.30 (No Broker) or Section 5.1 (Title to Interests) (it being understood that the Company and Sellers, on a several and not joint basis, shall be responsible for such Losses from the first dollar without the application of any threshold or deductible).

(ii)                                  From and after the date and time of the Initial Closing, the Company shall only be responsible for any Losses which are attributable to a breach or inaccuracy described in Section 12.1(a)(i)(A) if all Losses attributable to such breaches or inaccuracies exceed $500,000, in which case the Company shall be responsible for all Losses in excess thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Losses attributable to breaches or inaccuracies arising out of fraud or willful misrepresentation, or breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Capitalization), or Section 4.30 (No Broker) (it being understood that the Company and Sellers, on a several and not joint basis, shall be responsible for such Losses from the first dollar without the application of any threshold or deductible).

48

(iii)                               The Principal Sellers shall only be responsible for any Losses which are attributable to a breach or inaccuracy described in Section 12.1(a)(ii)(A) if all Losses attributable to such breaches or inaccuracies exceed $500,000, in which case the Principal Sellers shall be severally, and not jointly, in proportion to his or its Indemnification Percentage, responsible for all Losses in excess thereof; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Losses attributable to breaches or inaccuracies arising out of fraud or willful misrepresentation, or breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.3 (Capitalization), Section 4.9 (Compliance with Laws), Section 4.18 (Title; Liens), Section 4.22 (Environmental Protection), Section 4.23 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 4.30 (No Broker), Section 5.1 (Title to Interests) or Section 5.6 (No Broker) (it being understood that the Principal Sellers shall be severally, and not jointly, in proportion to his or its Indemnification Percentage, responsible for such Losses from the first dollar without the application of any deductible).  The maximum aggregate liability of any Principal Seller for any Losses which are attributable to a breach or inaccuracy described in Section 12.1(a)(ii)(A) is the total purchase price paid to such Principal Seller under this Agreement.  For clarity, if the Losses attributable to a breach of inaccuracy described in Section 12.1(a)(ii)(A) exceed $500,000, then the Principal Sellers shall be responsible, as aforesaid, for such Losses in excess of $500,000, even though one or more Principal Sellers may only be responsible for a portion of such excess that is less than $500,000.

(iv)                              The maximum aggregate liability of any Seller for any Losses which are attributable to a breach or inaccuracy described in Section 12.1(a)(ii)(A), or Section 12.1(a)(iii)(A) is seventy-five percent (75%) of the total purchase price paid to such Seller under this Agreement, provided however that the maximum aggregate liability of any Seller for any Losses which are attributable to a breach or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company contained in Section 4.9 (without regard to the schedules to this Agreement) is the total purchase price paid to such Seller under this Agreement.

(v)                                 The Buyer Indemnitees will not be entitled to indemnification for punitive damages, or for lost profits, consequential, exemplary or special damages; provided, however, that each Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for punitive damages, or for lost profits, consequential, exemplary or special damages that are payable to third parties and constitute a part of such Buyer Indemnitee’s Losses; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the right of any Buyer Indemnitee to indemnification for Losses attributable to the loss of value of such Buyer Indemnitee’s direct or indirect interest in the Company or its Subsidiaries.

(vi)                              For purposes of clarification, each Principal Seller’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement will be several, and not joint, based on such Principal Seller’s Indemnification Percentage.  For purposes of example, if there is an indemnity claim for a breach of a representation made by the Company at the Initial Closing, (subject to the limitations set forth herein), a Principal Seller will be responsible only for that portion of Losses relating to the indemnity claim based on such Principal Seller’s Indemnification Percentage of such Losses.

(vii)                           In no event will the indemnity obligation of any Seller exceed the amount of proceeds received by such Seller hereunder.

49

(c)                                  Choice of Remedies.  Each Seller’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any of the following, all of which each Seller hereby waives: any delay in the exercise or waiver of, or any failure to exercise, or any forbearance in the exercise of, any right or remedy which a Buyer Indemnitee may have hereunder against the Company or any other Seller.  For purposes of clarification, and by way of illustration, a Buyer Indemnitee may, in its sole discretion, elect not to seek indemnification from the Company for Losses as to which the Company is obligated to indemnify such Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(i), but in the event that the Buyer Indemnitee makes such election, such Buyer Indemnitee shall nonetheless be entitled to be indemnified for the same Losses by the Principal Sellers if and to the extent that the Principal Sellers are obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitee for such Losses pursuant to Section 12.1(a)(ii).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and to the extent that a Buyer Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company for its Losses, such Buyer Indemnitee shall not be entitled to be indemnified by the Principal Sellers for that portion of the Buyer Indemnitee’s Losses as to which such Buyer Indemnitee has been indemnified by the Company.

(d)                                 Waiver of Seller’s Rights Against the Company.  Each Seller hereby irrevocably waives any rights that it may have under any agreement or at law or in equity to assert any claim against or to seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from the Company for any payment made by such Seller to the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this Agreement.

(e)                                  Right of Offset Against Subsequent Purchase Price.  Any amounts required to be paid by the Sellers to the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 12.1 may be offset by the Buyer against the Second Purchase Price, Third Purchase Price or Fourth Purchase Price, as applicable.

Section 12.2           Obligation of Buyer to Indemnify.

(a)                                  General.  Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers and their respective assigns from and against any Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any of the Sellers based upon, arising out of or otherwise with respect to:

(i)                                     any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in Article VI or in any document or other paper delivered by Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to, or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and/or

(ii)                                  any failure by Buyer to perform or comply with any covenant or other agreement of Buyer contained herein or in any document or other paper delivered pursuant  hereto.

(b)                                 Limitations.

(i)                                     Notwithstanding the foregoing, and subject to Section 12.2(c), unless and until the Initial Closing shall have occurred, the Buyer shall only be responsible for any Losses which are subject to indemnification under Section 12.2(a)(i) if, and then only to the extent, that such Losses exceed $50,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Losses attributable to breaches or inaccuracies arising out of fraud

50

or willful misrepresentation or breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.4 (No Broker) (it being understood that Buyer shall be responsible for such Losses from the first dollar without the application of any threshold).

(ii)                                  From and after the date and time of the Initial Closing, the Buyer shall only be responsible for any Losses which are subject to indemnification under Section 12.2(a)(i) if, and then only to the extent, that such Losses exceed $500,000 in the aggregate; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to Losses attributable to breaches or inaccuracies arising out of fraud or willful misrepresentation or breaches or inaccuracies of the representations and warranties contained in Section 6.4 (No Broker) (it being understood that Buyer shall be responsible for such Losses from the first dollar without the application of any threshold).

(iii)                               No Seller will make any claim for indemnification against Buyer or the Company under this Agreement solely by reason of the fact he was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or was serving at the request of the Company as a partner, trustee, director, officer, employee or agent of another entity (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, losses, expenses or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter document, by-law, agreement otherwise) with respect to any action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand brought by Buyer or the Company against such Seller (whether such action, suit, proceeding, complaint, claim or demand is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise).

(iv)                              The Sellers and their assigns will not be entitled to indemnification for punitive damages, or for lost profits, consequential, exemplary or special damages; provided, however, that the Sellers and their assigns shall be entitled to indemnification for punitive damages, or for lost profits, consequential, exemplary or special damages that are payable to third parties and constitute a part of the Losses of the Sellers and their assigns; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the right of the Sellers and their assigns to indemnification for Losses attributable to the loss of value of their respective direct or indirect interests in the Company or its Subsidiaries.

Section 12.3           Notice and Opportunity to Defend.  If any Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article XII (an “Indemnified Person”) receives notice of any claim or the commencement of any suit, action, proceeding or investigation with respect to which any other Person (or Persons) is obligated to provide indemnification (an “Indemnifying Person”) pursuant to this Article XII, the Indemnified Person shall promptly give the Indemnifying Person written notice thereof (an “Indemnification Notice”), but the failure to give an Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Person shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any Liability that it may have to an Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person shall have been materially prejudiced in its ability to defend the suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation for which such indemnification is sought by reason of such failure.

Upon receipt of an Indemnification Notice, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled at its option (so long as the Indemnifying Person shall have made adequate provision to satisfy any indemnification obligation hereunder) and at its cost and expense to assume the defense of such

51

suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation with respect to which it is called upon to indemnify an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article XII; provided, however, that notice of the Indemnifying Person’s intention to assume such defense shall be delivered by the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person within 15 business days after the Indemnified Person gives the Indemnifying Person an Indemnification Notice.  In the event that the Indemnifying Person elects to assume the defense of such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Person shall promptly retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.  The Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person unless:  (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized by the Indemnifying Person; (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not have promptly retained counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to take charge of the defense of such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation; (iii) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person, in which event, such fees and expenses (including any fees paid to witnesses) shall be borne by the Indemnifying Person; or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall not have made adequate provision to satisfy any indemnification obligation hereunder.  In the event of (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to direct the defense of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation on behalf of the Indemnified Person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that an action may materially and adversely affect it or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages, such Indemnified Person may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle such action; provided, however, that no such compromise or settlement shall be binding on the Indemnifying Person unless the Indemnified Person shall have acted in good faith and reasonably in compromising or settling any such suit, action, claim, proceeding, or investigation.

If the Indemnifying Person fails to give written notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of any suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation for which it is called upon to indemnify an Indemnified Person pursuant to this Article XII within 15 days after the Indemnified Person gives the Indemnification Notice to the Indemnifying Person or if the Indemnified Person otherwise assumes the defense of an action as permitted pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Indemnifying Person shall be bound by any determination made in such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation or compromise or settlement thereof effected by the Indemnified Person provided that the Indemnified Person shall have acted in good faith and reasonably in compromising or settling any such suit, action, claim, proceeding or investigation.  Anything in this Section 12.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 12.3 are subject to the rights of any Indemnified Person’s insurance carrier which is defending any such above suits, actions, claims, proceedings or investigations.

Section 12.4           Covered Persons.  The obligations of the Sellers under this Article XII shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each Person, if any, who controls Buyer, the Company and each of their respective assigns, within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, and to directors, officers, managers, employees,

52

consultants and agents of Buyer or the Company and each of their respective assigns, and their controlling persons.

Section 12.5           Exclusive Remedy.  The parties agree that, from and after the Initial Closing Date, the exclusive remedies of the parties for any Losses based upon, arising out of or otherwise in respect of the matters set forth in this Agreement are the indemnification obligations of the parties set forth in this Article XII.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 12.5 shall not, however, apply in the case of fraud or willful misrepresentation of any party.

Section 12.6           Waiver of Breaches.  Subject to the provisions of Section 12.1(a)(i)(C) and Section 12.1(a)(ii)(C), if the Initial Closing and/or any Subsequent Closing occurs, the Buyer and Parent shall be deemed to have waived all breaches of representations , warranties and covenants of the Company and Sellers of which Buyer or the Parent has actual knowledge because such breach has been disclosed with particularity on an applicable disclosure schedule as of the date of this Agreement or on any updated disclosure schedule pursuant to Section 7.16 as of the time of the Initial Closing and/or any Subsequent Closing, as applicable, and the Sellers and the Company shall have no liability with respect thereto after the applicable closing.

Section 12.7           Incentive Plan.  In addition to their other indemnification obligations hereunder, and without limitation, the Principal Sellers shall severally, and not jointly, in proportion to their respective Indemnification Percentages, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Buyer Indemnitees from and against any Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by the Company or the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of or otherwise with respect to the Equity Incentive Plan.
