(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets is $30.0 million (the “Purchase Price”), subject to the working capital adjustments set forth in Section 2.3 hereof. If the Closing Working Capital Amount, as determined pursuant to Section 2.3, is less than $3,900,000, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward, dollar for dollar, in an amount equal to the amount by which the Closing Working Capital Amount is less than $3,900,000.

(b) The Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price in full to Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, at the Closing by wire transfer in immediately available funds. Such payment will be made to an account designated at least three (3) days prior to the Closing Date by Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers.

Section 2.3. Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Purchaser shall provide Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, with its calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount, along with data to support such calculation. The Closing Working Capital Amount shall be prepared and determined in accordance with GAAP, utilizing the methodology used in preparing Exhibit A attached hereto and the categories of assets and liabilities set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto. The Closing Working Capital Amount shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, the Sellers unless Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, shall have notified Purchaser in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount (the “Objection Notice”) that it disputes the Closing Working Capital Amount as calculated by Purchaser. If Purchaser receives such an Objection Notice from Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, Purchaser will provide Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, and its authorized representatives with commercially reasonable access during normal business hours to all books, records and personnel of Purchaser as Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, may reasonably request in order to verify the accuracy of the Closing Working Capital Amount. The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail (i) those items that Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, disputes, (ii) the amounts of any adjustments to the Closing Working Capital Amount that are necessary in Vestcom’s judgment to conform to the provisions of this Agreement and (iii) Vestcom’s, on behalf of the Sellers, reasons for such disputes and adjustments.

(b) If Purchaser and Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, cannot agree on the Closing Working Capital Amount within twenty (20) days after receipt by

-8-

Purchaser of the Objection Notice, the parties shall submit their final calculations of the items in dispute to an independent nationally recognized accounting firm selected upon mutual agreement of Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, and Purchaser, for resolution within thirty (30) days. Such independent accounting firm shall review such final calculations and the applicable books and records and determine the Closing Working Capital Amount, such determination to be made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including Exhibit A attached hereto). The determination made by such accounting firm shall be final and binding on the parties.

(c) The party (either the Purchaser or Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers) that the accounting firm determines to be more incorrect in its calculation of the Closing Working Capital Amount shall be responsible for all of the accounting firm’s costs and expenses related to the resolution of this issue.

(d) If the Closing Working Capital Amount, as finally determined by the passage of the deadline for an Objection Notice without one being given or by any other final determination or acceptance in accordance with this Section 2.3, results in an adjustment in favor of the Purchaser, then the amount of such adjustment, as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), shall be paid by Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, to Purchaser within five (5) business days after the date of such final determination or acceptance. If the Closing Working Capital Amount, as finally determined by the passage of the deadline for an Objection Notice without one being given or by any other final determination or acceptance in accordance with this Section 2.3, results in an adjustment in favor of the Sellers, then the amount of such adjustment, as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(a), shall be paid by Purchaser to Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, within five (5) business days after the date of such final determination or acceptance. Any payment due under this Section 2.3 shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds in accordance with wiring instructions furnished by the recipient of such payment at least three (3) business days prior to the date of payment.

ARTICLE III

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (herein referred to as the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Lowenstein Sandler PC, 65 Livingston Avenue, Roseland, New Jersey 07068, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the Sellers and the Purchaser, on January 3, 2006, which date shall be referred to as the “Closing Date”.

ARTICLE IV

Representations and Warranties Regarding the Sellers

Vestcom, on behalf of itself and the other Sellers, represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:

Section 4.1. Organization and Qualification of the Sellers. Each Seller is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, with full power and authority to own or lease its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in all other jurisdictions where the nature of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to so qualify could not result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Seller’s MBC Business. A true and complete list of the jurisdictions in which each Seller is qualified to do business is set forth on Schedule 4.1 annexed hereto.

Section 4.2. Authorization. Each Seller has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Seller and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of each Seller, enforceable against each Seller in accordance with its terms.

Section 4.3. Non-Contravention. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the performance by each Seller of its respective obligations hereunder will (i) contravene any provision contained in its Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws or other applicable documents of formation, (ii) violate or result in a breach (with or without the lapse of time, the giving of notice or both) of or constitute a default under (A) any contract, agreement, commitment, indenture, mortgage, lease, pledge, note, license, permit or other instrument or obligation or (B) any judgment, order, decree, law, rule or regulation or other restriction of any Governmental Authority, in each case to which any of the Purchased Assets and the MBC Business are subject, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, claim, charge, mortgage, pledge, security interest, equity, restriction or other encumbrance (collectively, “Encumbrances”) on any of the Purchased Assets or the MBC Business or (iv) result in the increase or acceleration of, or permit any Person to increase, accelerate or declare due and payable prior to its stated maturity, any liability relating to the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the MBC Business, except, with respect to clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, for any such violation, breach, Encumbrance or acceleration which could not result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Seller’s MBC Business.

Section 4.4. No Consents. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.4, no notice to, filing with, or authorization, registration, consent or approval of any Governmental Authority or other Person is necessary for the execution, delivery

-10-

or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Sellers.

Section 4.5. Personal Property. Schedule 4.5 sets forth a true and complete list of all items of personal property with a book value on September 30, 2005 of at least $3,000 (including, without limitation, furniture, fixtures, equipment, inventory and vehicles), owned and leased, used by each Seller in, and necessary to each Seller’s conduct of, its MBC Business. Except for liens on the Purchased Assets which will be released in connection with the Closing and liens on leased equipment, which will be transferred to Purchaser, each Seller has good and marketable title to (or valid leasehold or contractual interests in) all personal property constituting Purchased Assets, free and clear of any Encumbrances. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.5, all such personal property constituting Purchased Assets is in good operating condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Each Seller is in compliance with all material terms and conditions of each such lease to which it is a party.

Section 4.6. Real Property. None of the Sellers nor any of their Affiliates owns any real property or interests in real property used, held for use, occupied or operated in connection with the MBC Business. Each Seller has a valid leasehold interest in all plants, structures, buildings, or portions of such buildings, fixtures and improvements used, held for use, occupied or operated in connection with such Seller’s MBC Business (collectively, the “Leased Real Property”), which interest is free and clear of all Encumbrances. Schedule 4.6 sets forth a true and complete list of all Leased Real Property and lists all lease agreements (including all amendments and modifications thereto) pursuant to which the Sellers lease, sublease, license or otherwise occupy the Leased Real Property (each a “Lease”, collectively, the “Leases”), which are part of the Purchased Assets and the MBC Business, and the amount remaining, if any, in the “improvement fund” established under the lease for the West Caldwell, New Jersey property. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.6, all plants, structures, buildings, improvements and fixtures located on the Leased Real Property are in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Each Seller is in compliance with all the material terms and conditions of each Lease to which it is a party.

(i) Goods and Services Tax Election. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall jointly execute an election under Sections 167 and 167.1 of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and Sections 75 and 75.1 of An Act Respecting the Quebec Sales Tax on the forms prescribed for such purposes along with any documentation necessary or desirable in order to effect the transfer of the Purchased Assets by the Sellers without payment of any Goods and Services Tax or Quebec Sales Tax. The Purchaser shall file the election forms referred to above, along with any documentation necessary or desirable to give effect to such, with Revenue Canada and the Ministère du Revenu du Québec, respectively, together with the Purchaser’s Goods and Services Tax and Quebec Sales Tax returns for the reporting period in which the transactions contemplated herein are consummated.

Notwithstanding such election, in the event that it is determined by Revenue Canada or by the Ministère du Revenu du Québec that there is a Goods and Services Tax or Quebec Sales Tax liability of the Purchased Assets, the parties agree that such Goods and Services Tax or Quebec Sales Tax, as the case may be, shall, unless already collected from the Purchaser by the Sellers, be forthwith remitted by the Purchaser to Revenue Canada or the Ministère du Revenu du Québec, as the case may be, and the Purchaser shall indemnify and hold the Sellers harmless with respect to any such Goods and Services Tax or Quebec Sales Tax liability arising herein, as well as any interest and penalties related thereto.

Section 6.2. Non-Competition.

(a) For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date (the “Non-Compete Period”), neither the Sellers nor any of their respective Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, without the prior written approval of the Purchaser:

(i) (A) compete anywhere in Canada or the United States (the “Territory”) with the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in the MBC Business or (B) call upon or solicit any customer which was a

-24-

customer of any Seller’s MBC Business within the two (2) year period prior to the Closing Date (a “Prohibited Customer”) for the purpose of offering or selling to such Prohibited Customer any products or services of the MBC Business; it being understood that (1) Vestcom and its Affiliates shall be permitted to sell products and services of any of its businesses other than the MBC Business (including, without limitation, the Retail Business) to any customer or potential customer, including a Prohibited Customer and (2) this Section 6.2 shall not apply to any purchaser or other successor in interest to any non-MBC Business (including, without limitation, the Retail Business) of any Seller or any other subsidiary or Affiliate of Vestcom, except that if the Retail Business is sold during the Non-Compete Period, those individuals listed on Schedule 6.2 (if such individuals are still employed by any of the Sellers at the time of such sale) shall not, for the remainder of the Non-Compete Period, call upon or solicit any Prohibited Customer for the purpose of offering or selling to such Prohibited Customer any products or services of the MBC Business;

(ii) except as provided in the Transition Services Agreement, employ, retain as a consultant or attempt to entice away any Person who was an employee of any Seller within the six (6) month period prior to the Closing Date and is, at that time, an employee of the Purchaser for the purpose or with the intent of enticing such employee away from or out of the employ of the Purchaser or its subsidiaries or Affiliates (except for those employees who are hired by Purchaser primarily to perform certain transition services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement); or

(iii) use for its own benefit or divulge or convey to any third party, any Confidential Information (as defined below) relating to any Seller’s MBC Business.

To the Sellers’ knowledge, the individuals listed on Schedule 6.2 are the only employees of the Retail Business (as well as Joel Cartun) who have, or could reasonably be expected to have, as of the date hereof, substantial MBC Business relationships.

For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information consists of all information, knowledge or data relating to the MBC Business of any Seller, including, without limitation, customer and supplier lists, formulae, trade know-how, processes, secrets, consultant contracts, pricing information, marketing plans, product development plans, business acquisition plans and all other information relating to the operation of such Seller’s MBC Business not in the public domain or otherwise publicly available. Information which enters the public domain or is publicly available loses its confidential status hereunder so

-25-

long as the Sellers do not directly or indirectly cause such information to enter the public domain.

(b) The Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.2 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the Purchaser and that any breach by any Seller of any provision hereof will result in irreparable injury to the Purchaser. The Sellers acknowledge that, in addition to all remedies available at law, the Purchaser shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits or other benefits arising from such breach and shall be entitled to receive such other damages, direct or consequential, as may be appropriate.

Section 6.3. Employees.

(a) Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer employment effective upon the Closing Date to any MBC Business Employee on terms to be determined by the Purchaser. No later than five business days prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall inform the Sellers of those MBC Business Employees it wishes to hire. Purchaser’s offer of employment to each such MBC Business Employee shall be conditioned upon (i) such MBC Business Employee’s resignation from such Seller immediately prior to the Closing and such MBC Business Employee’s acceptance of the offer of employment on or after the Closing Date and (ii) successful passing of criminal and background checks and a drug screen as part of the Purchaser’s corporate policy (each MBC Business Employee who accepts such offer of employment and passes the criminal and background check and the drug screen is referred to herein as a “Hired Employee”). Those MBC Business Employees rejected as a result of the above checks will not be hired by Purchaser.

(b) Except as is expressly assumed by the Purchaser in this Agreement, (i) Vestcom, on behalf of the Sellers, shall indemnify, defend and hold the Purchaser harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including, without limitation, those arising under Sellers’ Employee Benefit Plans) due or which may become due to, or in respect of, any of Sellers’ employees, whether or not they are hired or engaged by Purchaser, which relate to periods, conduct or obligations incurred prior to the Closing Date or which arise by reason of their termination of employment with Sellers or non-hire by Purchaser, and (ii) the Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold the Sellers harmless from and against any and all Liabilities due or which may become due to, or in respect of, any Hired Employees, which relate to periods on or after the Closing Date or arise by reason of their termination of employment with Purchaser.

(c) Effective upon the Closing, the Sellers shall be solely responsible and liable for providing “COBRA” coverage to all MBC Business Employees and their qualifying beneficiaries who experience a “qualifying event” on or prior to the Closing and for providing (or continuing to provide) COBRA coverage with respect to any former employees of the MBC Business and their qualifying

-26-

beneficiaries who experience or experienced a “qualifying event” before or on the Closing. For purposes of this paragraph, COBRA coverage refers to continued health coverage in accordance with the provisions of Section 4980B of the Code and Section 601 et. seq. of ERISA and the term “qualifying event” shall have the meaning given such term under such Sections.

(d) Effective as of the Closing Date, the Hired Employees shall cease to be covered by the Sellers’ employee benefit and welfare plans, programs and arrangements. All of Purchaser’s employee benefit and welfare plans, programs and arrangements in which Hired Employees become eligible to participate shall credit such Hired Employees with a period of service beginning on their most recent hire date with any Seller for purposes of eligibility and vesting. In addition, the Hired Employees shall be permitted by Purchaser to “carryover” to Purchaser any unused accrued vacation time that was earned at any time on or after January 1, 2005 they have with the Sellers as of the Closing Date and Purchaser will assume all Liabilities and obligations for such unused accrued vacation time for the remainder of calendar year 2005.

(e) Purchaser shall maintain a health care and dependent care flexible spending accounts plan pursuant to Section 125 of the Code (“Purchaser’s FSA”) through the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the later of (i) the last day of the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs or (ii) the last day on which claims may be incurred for reimbursement under Purchaser’s FSA with respect to salary reduction contributions made during 2005. Effective as of the Closing Date, Hired Employees who were participants of the Sellers’ health care and/or dependent care flexible spending accounts established under Section 125 of the Code (“Sellers’ FSA”) immediately prior to the Closing Date shall become participants of the Purchaser’s FSA and the health flexible spending account and dependent care account elections of Hired Employees under Sellers’ FSA shall be continued by Purchaser under the Purchaser’s FSA after the Closing Date and through December 31, 2005 (plus any extended period allowed by Purchaser’s FSA for the reimbursement of claims). As soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days following the Closing Date, Sellers shall transfer to Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the excess of (i) the amount withheld from the compensation of Hired Employees under the Sellers’ FSA since January 1, 2005 on account of health care and dependent care flexible spending account elections of Hired Employees, over (ii) the amount paid in respect of claims submitted under Sellers’ FSA since January 1, 2005 with respect to Hired Employees and/or their covered dependents. Health care and dependent care expenses incurred by Hired Employees and/or their dependents between January 1, 2005 and the Closing Date but not previously reimbursed under Sellers’ FSA, as well as health care and dependent care expenses incurred on or after the Closing Date by Hired Employees and/or their dependents, shall be paid or reimbursed by Purchaser under Purchaser’s FSA. Hired Employees and their dependents shall cease to be eligible for health care and dependent care expense reimbursements from Sellers as of the Closing Date, except to the extent of any COBRA continuation coverage that may be applicable. Sellers shall promptly furnish Purchaser with health

-27-

and/or dependent care flexible spending account elections of Hired Employees under Sellers’ FSA in effect as of the Closing Date and any outstanding reimbursement claims of Hired Employees and their dependents. The parties agree to cooperate and make reasonable, good faith efforts to implement the provisions of this section to take into account the complexity of transferring flexible spending accounts.

(f) Purchaser shall cause its tax-qualified savings plan (the “Purchaser Savings Plan”) to, following the Closing Date and pursuant to Section 401(a)(31)(D) of the Code, accept rollover contributions of “eligible rollover distributions” (within the meaning of Section 401(a)(31) of the Code) in cash in an amount equal to the full account balance distributed to a Hired Employee from any benefit plan of any Seller (or any Seller’s Affiliate) qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. Sellers shall provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that the employee benefit plan of any Seller (or any Seller’s Affiliate) from which the eligible rollover distribution was made is qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code. For purpose of this Section 6.3(f), the term “eligible rollover distribution” shall include (i) the amount of any unpaid balance of any loan made to a Hired Employee under the Sellers’ savings plan and (ii) the promissory note evidencing such loan.

Section 6.4. Best Efforts; Further Assurances. Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of the parties hereto shall use its best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that at any time after Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall take all such reasonable action without any further consideration therefor. The parties agree to use their best efforts to obtain all of the consents listed on Schedule 4.4 which are not yet received as of the Closing Date.

Section 6.5. Additional Assistance.

(a) If, after the Closing, any payments from customers or other third parties due to Purchaser are inadvertently paid to or received by any Seller, such Seller shall deliver such payments in cash or in kind to Purchaser within five (5) business days of receipt by such Seller.

(b) If, after the Closing, any payments from customers or other third parties due to any Seller are inadvertently paid to or received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver such payments in cash or in kind to such Seller within five (5) business days of receipt by Purchaser.

Section 6.6. Removal of Assets. From the Closing Date until the one year anniversary (except for the West Caldwell, New Jersey property, which shall be the six (6) month anniversary) of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with commercially reasonable access to all premises occupied by

-28-

Purchaser pursuant to any Real Property Leases assumed by Purchaser as Assumed Liabilities during regular business hours to permit Sellers to remove from such premises any assets which Purchaser has not purchased. From the Closing Date until the one year anniversary (except for the West Caldwell, New Jersey property, which shall be the six (6) month anniversary) of the Closing Date, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with access to all other premises of Sellers during regular business hours to permit Purchaser to remove Purchased Assets from such premises. Sellers and Purchaser shall obtain and maintain proper and sufficient insurance coverage for any damages that either party may cause to the other party for the duration of the removal of assets.

Section 6.7. Post-Closing Access to Records. The Purchaser and the Sellers shall maintain any records in connection with the MBC Business for three (3) years after Closing and will provide each other with commercially reasonable access thereto during regular business hours following reasonable prior notice.

Section 6.8. Certain Transition Services. From time to time during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the one year anniversary of the Closing Date (or for such shorter period described in the transition services agreement), the parties will provide certain services to each other as set forth in the transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit B.

Section 6.9. Conduct of Business Prior to the Closing. The Sellers covenant and agree that between the date hereof and the Closing Date, the Sellers shall not conduct the MBC Business other than in the ordinary course and consistent with Sellers’ past practice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers shall (as it relates to the MBC Business): (i) continue pricing and purchasing policies in accordance with past practice, (ii) preserve the business organization of the MBC Business, (iii) use their best efforts to keep available to the Purchaser the services of the employees of the Sellers to whom the Purchaser will be offering employment, (iv) use their best efforts to preserve their current relationships with customers and suppliers of the MBC Business, (v) not engage in any practice, take any action, fail to take any action or enter into any transaction not in the ordinary course which could cause any representation or warranty of the Sellers to be untrue or result in a breach of any covenant made by the Sellers in this Agreement, and (vi) not, without limitation (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement), do any of the following without the prior written consent of the Purchaser:

(a) amend the incorporation documents, formation documents or other organizational and operational documents of any Seller;

(b) make any material change in any method of accounting or accounting practice or policy other than those required by GAAP;

(c) acquire or agree to acquire by merging or consolidating with, or by purchasing a substantial portion of the assets of, or by any other manner, any

-29-

business or any corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division thereof;

(d) initiate or settle any litigation to which any Seller is party that is not fully covered by insurance;

(e) incur or assume any liabilities for borrowed money or obligations for borrowed money (i) in the aggregate in excess of $25,000 in the ordinary course of business or (ii) outside the ordinary course of business;

(f) make any commitments for capital expenditures for additions to, or relocate any, property, plant or equipment in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate, excluding any additions under SOP 98-1 capitalized in accordance with GAAP;

From the date hereof until the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, the Sellers shall cause their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, accountants and counsel to: (i) afford Purchaser and any of its representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, other facilities, books and records (including Tax Returns) of the Sellers relating to the MBC Business, including, without limitation, access to enter such properties and facilities to investigate and collect air, surface water, groundwater and soil samples or to conduct any other type of environmental assessment, and to those officers, employees, agents, accountants, counsel and representatives of the Sellers who have any Knowledge relating to the MBC Business and (ii) furnish to the Purchaser and any of its representatives such additional financial and operating data and other information regarding the assets, properties, liabilities and goodwill of the MBC Business as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request.

Section 6.11. Bulk Transfer Laws. The Sellers will indemnify the Purchaser for any charges or other Liabilities arising under any bulk sales or bulk transfer laws.

-30-

Section 6.12. Consents. Sellers shall use their best efforts to obtain, and Purchaser will use reasonable commercial efforts (which shall include, without limitation, providing such financial statements and other literature concerning Purchaser as Sellers may reasonably request and which shall not require the payment of any consideration by the Purchaser) to assist Sellers in obtaining, all required consents to assignment under Sellers’ Contracts and permits pertaining to the MBC Business. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Sellers will not be obligated to assign to Purchaser any of their rights and obligations in and to any Contracts and to any permits without first having obtained all consents, approvals and waivers necessary for such assignment and nothing in this Agreement will constitute an assignment of such Contract or permit without such consent, approval or waiver. To the extent that such consents, approvals and waivers are not obtained by Sellers, Sellers shall use their reasonable commercial efforts (which shall not require the payment of any consideration by Sellers to obtain any such consents, approvals or waivers) to (i) provide to Purchaser the financial and business benefits of any such Contract or permit and (ii) enforce, at the request and expense of Purchaser, for the account of Purchaser, any rights of Sellers arising from any such Contract or permit (including, without limitation, the right to elect to terminate such Contract or permit in accordance with the terms thereof upon the advice, and at the expense, of Purchaser), provided, however, that Sellers shall not be required to take any action which would constitute a breach of any such Contract or permit other than an action to terminate any such Contract or permit as described herein. With respect to Contracts and permits for which consents or waivers cannot be obtained but as to which Sellers are able to pass on the financial and business benefits to Purchaser, Purchaser shall assume Sellers’ obligations thereunder (except as provided by Section 7.2(ix)). With respect to Contracts and permits for which such consents or waivers cannot be obtained and as to which Sellers are unable to pass on the financial and business benefits to Purchaser, Sellers shall retain their obligations thereunder, which Purchaser hereby agrees will not constitute a breach by Sellers of any of their obligations under this Agreement.

Section 6.13. Sellers Financial Statements. Sellers agree to cooperate and assist in good faith the Purchaser in the preparation of the balance sheet, statements of operations, shareholder’s equity and cash flows, and any other financial information of the Sellers (“Sellers Financial Statements”) in conformity with GAAP, applied on a consistent basis throughout the applicable periods and which present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the MBC Business and the Sellers, on a consolidated basis, as of and for the periods included therein necessary, for the Purchaser to comply with its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including (without limitation) Sellers (i) executing and delivering customary management representation letters to the Purchasers auditor and otherwise cooperating with the Purchaser’s auditor in connection with the audit of the Sellers Financial Statements and (ii) affording the Purchaser’s auditors, Purchaser and the Purchaser’s representatives access to any employee of any Seller or any Affiliate of any Seller and to properties, books, contracts, commitments, records and

The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and to direct the defense against any such Third Party Claim, in its name or in the name of the Indemnified Party, as the case may be, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, and with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party unless (i) such Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party and it is reasonably necessary for the Indemnified Party to utilize its own counsel either due to time demands or the nature of the relief sought, or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there is an actual conflict of interest arising from the counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

The Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable access to its books and records for the purpose of allowing the Indemnifying Party a reasonable opportunity to verify any such claim for Damages. The Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall negotiate in good faith regarding the resolution of any disputed claims for Damages. Promptly following the final determination of the amount of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such Damages to the Indemnified Party by wire transfer or check made payable to the order of the Indemnified Party, without interest.

-36-

Section 8.5. Offset to Indemnification. All amounts of Damages for which a party claims indemnity shall be offset by any insurance or other monetary benefit received by the Indemnified Party as a result of the event giving rise to an indemnity claim, so that there is no double recovery by the Indemnified Party.

Section 8.6. Remedies Limited.

DEFINITION OF MBC BUSINESS

Overview

Vestcom Marketing and Business Communications (“MBC” or the “Division”), a division of Vestcom International, Inc. (“Vestcom” or the “Company”), is a leading provider of outsourced business communications and marketing services to the financial services; insurance; and travel, leisure, and gaming industries in the United States and Canada. Many of North America’s most respected companies trust MBC to provide accurate, timely delivery of business-critical documents to their customers and prospects. The Division’s service offering combines design, production, and distribution capabilities to provide a full range of transactional printing, mailing, and document management services. Additionally, MBC provides its customers an integrated offering of one-to-one marketing communications by combining advanced data management skills, gained from its history of leadership in transactional printing, with extensive digital printing and document fulfillment capabilities. Headquartered in West Caldwell, New Jersey, the Division operates in two principal segments: Transactional Print and Mail (“Print and Mail”) and Variable Data Print on Demand (“Print on Demand” or “POD”).

Transactional Print and Mail — The Division’s Print and Mail segment works closely with its customers to design, develop, and produce high quality financial communications. MBC’s transactional products include monthly and quarterly statements, invoices, bills, trade confirmations, tax documents, and other compliance communications. The time-sensitive nature of these services requires the Division to partner with its customers to ensure accurate, timely transfer of individual account data. In many cases, MBC is directly connected to the customers’ databases through secure digital circuits or over wide area networks. These close working relationships allow the Division to complete statement production within 48 hours of data receipt in many cases. Further, through a nationwide distributed network of printing facilities, MBC is able to deliver consistent, informative documents to approximately 95% of the United States in two business days or less. MBC’s two largest financial services customers have been with the Division for over a decade and are representative of MBC’s long-term partnerships with its customers.

Variable Data Print on Demand — The Division’s POD segment designs, produces, and delivers high-end personalized marketing communications for customers in the financial services; insurance; and travel, leisure, and gaming industries. Print on Demand utilizes many of the same software tools and technologies as the Transactional Print and Mail segment and adds web-to-print interfaces, customer relationship management (“CRM”) program detail, and four-color digital print capabilities to create highly customized communications. As part of its service to customers, MBC tracks and analyzes response rates and

results, providing customers with detailed, actionable information often utilized in subsequent programs. Demand for the Division’s POD services has increased as MBC has demonstrated to its customers an ability to generate response rates and returns on investment superior to alternative means of communications.

As a complement to the Division’s print on demand services, MBC provides document fulfillment services, which combine personalized variable information with static documents to produce customized kits and packages. Many of these applications involve financial or insurance-related documents, which must be customized to comply with differing state regulations and specific end user preferences. These services are integral to the Division’s ability to act as a one-stop shop in the digital print marketplace.

Employees and Facilities — The Division operates its largest facility at its headquarters in West Caldwell, New Jersey. Additionally, MBC has five other facilities located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Montreal, Canada; Sacramento, California; Seattle, Washington; and Wilmington, Massachusetts. All locations are leased from unaffiliated third parties.
