Within five (5) days after the final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, (i) if the Net Asset Value is less than $13,472,000, then, in accordance with Section 7 of the Escrow Agreement, Seller and Buyer shall provide joint written directions to the Escrow Agent for the release to Buyer from the NAV Escrow Funds (as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement) as a reduction in the Purchase Price the amount of such deficiency, plus interest on such deficient amount at the Escrow Rate from the Closing Date until the date paid; provided, however, that if the amount of the NAV Escrow Funds is insufficient to pay the amount of such deficiency, any excess deficient amount shall be paid by the Seller Parties, or (ii) if the Net Asset Value is greater than $13,472,000, then Buyer shall pay Seller in cash as an increase in the Purchase Price the amount of such excess, plus interest on such excess amount at the Escrow Rate from the Closing Date until the date paid. For purposes of this Section 2.5(c), “Net Asset Value” means the sum of (i) the aggregate book value of all of the Purchased Assets set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet as reflected on Seller’s books and records minus (ii) the aggregate book value of current Assumed Liabilities set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet as reflected on Seller’s books and records, as determined in a manner consistent with GAAP, except that certain reserves will be as set forth in Schedule 2.5(c).

(d) Nothing in this Section 2.5 shall preclude any party from exercising, or shall adversely affect or otherwise limit in any respect the exercise of, any right or remedy available to it hereunder or otherwise for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty hereunder, but neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any right to dispute the Closing Balance Sheet or any portion thereof (except for clear error or mistake, or willful misrepresentation) once it has been finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5.

2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within thirty (30) days after the final determination of the Closing Balance Sheet, as provided in Section 2.5 herein, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Buyer’s proposal for allocation of the Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including financial, accounting and tax purposes) in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code (the “Allocation”). In the event that the Seller does not object to the Allocation within thirty (30) days of the Seller’s receipt of the Allocation, then the Seller Parties shall be deemed to have agreed to the Allocation. Buyer and Seller will endeavor in good faith to resolve any differences with respect to the preparation of the Allocation. If differences arise with respect to such preparation, and Buyer and Seller have acted in good faith to resolve such differences, then any remaining disputed matters will be finally and conclusively determined by the Auditor. The Auditor will determine (based solely on presentations by Buyer and Seller and not by independent review) only those matters in dispute and will render a written report as to the disputed matters and the resulting allocation of Purchase Price (together with the Assumed Liabilities), which report shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. Each Party shall fully comply with the reporting requirements of Section 1060 of the Code relating to allocation rules for certain asset acquisitions. Buyer and Seller shall not, subject to the requirements of any applicable Tax Law or election,

13

14

file any Tax Returns and reports or take any positions before any Governmental Body inconsistent with the Allocation. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in the preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594 (as amended) and any required exhibits thereto with the IRS (and any comparable forms with the appropriate authorities) in a manner consistent with the Allocation, which the Parties shall each file with the IRS on a timely basis. The IRS Form 8594 shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Exhibit 2.6 attached hereto, which Exhibit is pro forma and based upon the value of the Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities reflected on the Current Balance Sheet, and represents the pro forma Purchased Assets and Assumed Liabilities as if the Closing had occurred on September 22, 2007.

2.7 Consent of Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt by Seller to assign to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement any Contract, permit, franchise, claim or Asset included in the Purchased Assets that is by its terms or by law nonassignable without the consent of any other party or parties, unless such consent or approval shall have been given, or as to which all the remedies for the enforcement thereof available to Seller would not by law pass to Buyer as an incident of the assignments provided for by this Agreement (a “Non-Assignable Contract”). To the extent that any Seller Required Consent in respect of, or a novation of, a Non-Assignable Contract shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing Date, Seller shall continue to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such Seller Required Consent or novation after the Closing Date until such time as it shall have been obtained, and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any economically feasible arrangement to provide that Buyer shall receive the interest of Seller in the benefits under such Non-Assignable Contract, including performance by Seller as agent if economically feasible; provided that Buyer shall undertake to pay or satisfy the corresponding Liabilities under the terms of such Non-Assignable Contract to the extent that Buyer would have been responsible therefor if such consent or approval had been obtained. Seller shall pay and discharge, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates from and against, any and all out-of-pocket costs of seeking to obtain or obtaining any consent to the assignment of any Contract, whether before or after the Closing Date, except for (i) any vendor agreement with the Seller’s customers listed on Schedule 4.4 and (ii) any license for the use of a Trademark, Copyright or Patent used in or on an item of Inventory where Seller’s sales of such item during the calendar year 2006 or during the period commencing January 1, 2007 through the Closing Date were or are less than $25,000 per year. Nothing contained in this Section 2.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to have received on the Closing Date an effective assignment of all of the Purchased Assets or of the covenant of Seller to obtain all of the Seller Required Consents, nor shall this Section 2.6 or any other provision of this Agreement be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Purchased Assets any Contracts as to which a Seller Required Consent may be necessary.

2.8 Guaranty. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Parent has executed and delivered to the Seller a guaranty, substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.8 (the “Guaranty”).

36

37

Act or other Antitrust Laws. Seller and Buyer may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 6.4(a) as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to the outside legal counsel of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient, unless express written permission is obtained in advance from the source of the materials. Buyer and Seller shall share equal responsibility for all filing and other similar fees payable in connection with the filings referenced in this Section 6.4(a).

(b) Buyer and Seller shall respond promptly to inquiries from applicable Governmental Bodies for supplemental information and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to respond to any objections as may be asserted by the FTC or any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions under the HSR Act, the Sherman Act, as amended, the Clayton Act, as amended, the Federal Trade Commission Act, as amended, and any other United States federal or state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations, orders, decrees, administrative or judicial doctrines or other laws that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, the “Antitrust Laws”). In connection therewith, if any Legal Proceeding is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any Transaction as in violation of the HSR Act or any Antitrust Law, each of Buyer and Seller shall cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to contest and resist any such Legal Proceeding, and to have vacated, lifted, reversed, or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents, or restricts consummation of the Transaction, including by pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal, unless, by mutual agreement (such agreement not to be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed), Buyer and Seller decide that litigation is not in their respective best interests. Each of Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take such action as may be required to cause the expiration of the notice periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws with respect to such transactions as promptly as possible after the execution of this Agreement.

Seller shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the execution and

37

38

delivery of employment agreements between Buyer and each of the Key Employees on the Closing Date. Seller shall terminate on the Closing the employment of those employees who have accepted offers of employment from Buyer (the “Transferred Employees”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer does not assume, and has no Liability to the Seller or any of the employees of the Seller prior to the date of this Agreement with respect to, any Plan, COBRA obligation, unemployment payment, or other right or obligation arising by Law or from any employment arrangement between Seller and any of its employees.

On and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall take such reasonable steps as may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of Buyer, at and after the Closing so that Buyer shall be placed in actual possession and control of all of the Purchased Assets and the Business at the Closing. In furtherance thereof, Seller shall (a) execute and deliver such additional instruments of conveyance and transfer as Buyer may reasonably require, in the judgment of Buyer, in order to more effectively vest in it, and put it in possession of, the Purchased Assets, (b) amend its Charter Documents and take all other actions necessary to change its name to one sufficiently dissimilar to Seller’s present name to, in Buyer’s judgment, avoid confusion and (c) take all actions requested by Buyer to enable Buyer to change its name to Seller’s present name.

(a) The Seller Parties shall be responsible for, and shall have ultimate discretion with respect to, (i) all Tax Returns required or permitted by applicable Law to be filed by any Seller Party with respect to the Business for all taxable periods that end on or before the Closing Date and (ii) any elections related to such Tax Returns. The Seller Parties will timely file all Tax Returns with respect to the Business for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer shall be responsible for, and shall have ultimate discretion with respect to, (i) all Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Business for taxable periods that begin after the Closing Date, and (ii) any elections related to such Tax Returns. The Seller Parties shall reimburse Buyer for any Tax payments made by Buyer after the Closing Date in respect of any Tax Liability attributable to the Business for the period up to and including the Closing Date. Such reimbursements shall be made within five (5) Business Days of Buyer making such payment to the government; provided that Buyer presents the Seller Parties with a written notice indicating the amount due and the computation thereof.

(c) After the Closing Date, Buyer and the Seller Parties shall retain, or cause to be retained, for so long as any such taxable years or audits shall remain open for adjustments, any records or information which may be relevant to any such Tax Returns or audits. The assistance provided for in this subsection (c) shall include each of Buyer and the Seller Parties (x) making their agents and employees and the agents and employees of their respective Affiliates available to each other on a mutually convenient basis to provide such assistance as might reasonably be expected to be of use in connection with any such Tax Returns or audits and (y) providing, or causing to be provided, such information as might reasonably be expected to be of use in connection with any such Tax Returns or audits, including records, returns, schedules, documents, work papers, opinions, letters or memoranda, or other relevant materials relating thereto.

(d) The Parties do not anticipate that either Seller or Buyer will be required under applicable Law to collect or pay sales or use Taxes in connection with the Transactions. In the event that any transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) are incurred in connection with this Agreement, such Taxes and fees shall be paid by the Seller Parties when due, and Seller Parties shall, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, Buyer shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

42

43

(e) For purposes of Section 2.4(b)(iii) with respect to Taxes imposed on a periodic basis which are payable for a period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date, such Taxes shall be allocated ratably on a daily basis.

7.7 Certain Customs and Trade Law Matters.

(a) If, at any time following the Closing, Buyer receives, with respect to any importation of Lined Paper Products, a final notice of liquidation, notice of penalty, notice of liquidated damages, or any other notice (including but not limited to any notice of rejection of an entry or instruction to correct an entry) from CBP that requires the payment or deposit of any antidumping or countervailing duties, fees, fines, penalties or other amounts pursuant to an antidumping duty order or countervailing duty order in existence prior to the Closing Date, or if Buyer otherwise determines that it may be legally required to make any such payment or deposit, then Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such notice or determination, and Seller shall pay Buyer in immediately available funds an amount equal to the required payment or deposit of any such antidumping or countervailing duties.

(b) Buyer shall submit any claim under this Section 7.7 as an indemnification claim under Section 10.1 of this Agreement. In the case of a required deposit, if the final liquidation of the entry results in determination of a different amount of antidumping and or countervailing duties, Seller shall pay Buyer in immediately available funds the amount equal to any additional assessment over deposit and Buyer shall pay Seller in immediately available funds the amount equal to any refund of excess deposit. For purposes of this Section 7.7, “Lined Paper Products” shall mean any lined paper products not manufactured in the US which either (i) entered the US on or prior to the Closing Date; (ii) are or were purchased or ordered by the Seller, but did not enter the US, on or prior to the Closing Date; or (iii) prior to the Closing Date, are or were the subject of any purchase order or sales commitment provided to Seller by any of the Seller’s customers, or are or were part of any of the Seller’s customers’ plan-o-grams in existence on the Closing Date (in which case, the Buyer will use its reasonable efforts to seek modifications to such plan-o-grams in order to reduce or eliminate such products from such plan-o-grams).

(c) For purposes of Seller’s payment obligations under this Section 7.7, Buyer, in accordance with Section 9 of the Escrow Agreement, may provide written directions to the Escrow Agent and Seller for the release to the Buyer from the Anti-Dumping Escrow Funds (as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement) an amount equal to the required payment under this Section 7.7. If the amount then held in the Anti-Dumping Escrow Funds is insufficient to make such payment, then such deficiency shall be paid by the Seller Parties.

7.8 Accounts Receivable. Following the Closing, Buyer shall collect the transferred Accounts Receivable in accordance with Buyer’s normal collection practices, applying all receipts to the oldest account balance first, unless otherwise specifically directed by the account debtor or unless Buyer has determined that the account debtor should be placed on a “C.O.D.” or “cash on delivery” status. Within thirty (30) days after the Closing, and on a monthly basis thereafter, Buyer shall provide Seller with notice of any claim made by a customer against Buyer relating to Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date arising out of Seller’s action or inaction prior to the Closing Date (excluding returns directly and solely attributable to the terms of any applicable customer guarantee sales contract permitting such customer to return products because the product has failed to sell unrelated to product quality, shipping or other Seller action or inaction prior to the Closing Date), including without limitation customer’s financial ability to pay, customer bankruptcy, product shipping shortage, failure to deliver product, damaged product, missed ship dates, volume rebates, allowances relating to new store, advertisement, defective product or warehouse matters, amounts pre-determined by the terms of any applicable customer contract for penalties,

43

44

markdowns or other allowances not reflected in the Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date, or billing error. Seller shall provide Buyer with prompt notice of any objections to such claim. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve the claim with the customer, then such claim shall be treated as an uncollectible amount, along with amounts which are undisputed but are nevertheless not collected. Promptly after the six month anniversary of the Closing, the Buyer shall send the Seller a notice, in the form of Schedule 7.8, of the amount of the Accounts Receivable which have not been collected, together with such information relating to such uncollected Accounts Receivable as the Seller may reasonably request. Within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of the foregoing notice, Buyer shall re-convey all such uncollected Accounts Receivable to Seller, without recourse and without warranty except a warranty that Buyer has not suffered any lien or encumbrance on such accounts (or if such lien or encumbrance has attached, Buyer shall provide evidence of its release) or made any prior assignment or transfer of such accounts (or if such transfer has occurred, evidence that such accounts have been reconveyed to Buyer), and Buyer, in accordance with Section 8 of the Escrow Agreement, shall deliver written directions to the Escrow Agent and Seller for the release to the Buyer from the AR Escrow Funds (as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement) an amount equal to the “Accounts Receivable Settlement Amount” set forth in the Buyer’s notice, plus interest on such amount at the Escrow Rate from the Closing Date until the date paid. If the amount then held in the AR Escrow Funds is insufficient to make such payment, then such deficiency shall be paid by the Seller Parties. The repurchase by Seller of such uncollected Accounts Receivable set forth in this Section 7.8 shall be the limit of Seller’s liability with respect to such uncollected Accounts Receivable relating to Seller’s representations and warranties under Section 4.9; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Seller’s liability with respect to any inaccuracy of such representations and warranties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, following the six (6) month period after the Closing, if the Buyer receives notice from a customer that, based upon the results of a customer audit, the customer requires the Buyer to pay any amounts relating to pricing, rebates or allowances attributable to product sales made by the Seller on or prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing of such notice, and Seller shall pay Buyer an amount equal to the required payment either (i) in immediately available funds or (ii) from the Indemnity Escrow Funds (as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement).

8. Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Buyer. All obligations of Buyer to consummate the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Buyer) prior thereto of each of the following conditions:

All obligations of the Seller Parties to consummate the Transactions are subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by each Seller Party to which the condition relates) prior thereto of each of the following conditions, but any particular condition that requires action by any Seller Party shall not constitute a condition to the obligations of such Seller Party:

10. Indemnification.

10.1 By the Seller Parties. To the extent provided in this Section 10, the Seller Parties, jointly and severally (except as specifically set forth in Section 10.10 below), shall indemnify and hold Buyer, and its successors and assigns, and its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents, Affiliates and any Person who controls Buyer within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Buyer Party”) harmless from and against:

(a) any Liabilities, claims, demands, judgments, losses, costs, damages or expenses whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’, consultants’ and other professional fees and disbursements of every kind, nature and description incurred by such Indemnified Buyer Party in connection therewith) (collectively, “Damages”) that such Indemnified Buyer Party may sustain, suffer or incur and that result from, arise out of or relate to:

(i) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Seller Parties in this Agreement, the Transaction Documents or any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any Seller Party in connection herewith or therewith;

(ii) any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller Party set forth in this Agreement or any Transaction Document;

(iii) any Unassumed Liability;

(b) any and all actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations, allegations, demands, assessments, audits, fines, judgments, costs and other expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 10.1.

10.2 Procedure for Claims.

47

48

(a) An Indemnified Buyer Party that desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Section 10 shall give notice (a “Claim Notice”) to each party responsible or alleged to be responsible for indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnitor”) prior to any applicable Expiration Date specified below. Such notice shall briefly explain the nature of the claim and the parties known to be involved, and shall specify the amount thereof. If the matter to which a claim relates shall not have been resolved as of the date of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Buyer Party shall estimate the amount of the claim in the Claim Notice, but also specify therein that the claim has not yet been liquidated (an “Unliquidated Claim”). If an Indemnified Buyer Party gives a Claim Notice for an Unliquidated Claim, the Indemnified Buyer Party shall also give a second Claim Notice (the “Liquidated Claim Notice”) within 60 days after the matter giving rise to the claim becomes finally resolved, and the Liquidated Claim Notice shall specify the amount of the claim. Each Indemnitor to which a Claim Notice is given shall respond to any Indemnified Buyer Party that has given a Claim Notice (a “Claim Response”) within 20 days (the “Response Period”) after the later of (i) the date that the Claim Notice is given and (ii) if a Claim Notice is first given with respect to an Unliquidated Claim, the date on which the Liquidated Claim Notice is given. Any Claim Notice or Claim Response shall be given in accordance with the notice requirements hereunder, and any Claim Response shall specify whether or not the Indemnitor giving the Claim Response disputes the claim described in the Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor fails to give a Claim Response within the Response Period, such Indemnitor shall be deemed not to dispute the claim described in the related Claim Notice. If any Indemnitor elects not to dispute a claim described in a Claim Notice, whether by failing to give a timely Claim Response or otherwise, then the amount of such claim shall be conclusively deemed to be an obligation of such Indemnitor.

(b) If any Indemnitor shall be obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Buyer Party hereunder, such Indemnitor shall pay to such Indemnified Buyer Party within 30 days after the last day of the Response Period the amount to which such Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled. If there shall be a dispute as to the amount or manner of indemnification under this Section 10, the Indemnified Buyer Party may pursue whatever legal remedies may be available for recovery of the Damages claimed from any Indemnitor, but any dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 13.5 to the extent that it may be applicable. If any Indemnitor fails to pay all or part of any indemnification obligation when due, then such Indemnitor shall also be obligated to pay to the applicable Indemnified Buyer Party interest on the unpaid amount for each day during which the obligation remains unpaid at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate, and the Prime Rate in effect on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter shall apply to the amount of the unpaid obligation during such calendar quarter.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, and except with respect to the provisions regarding post-closing adjustments in Section 2.5 or the purchase by Seller of uncollected Accounts Receivable in Section 7.8, an Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled to indemnification under Section 10.1(a)(i) only when the aggregate of all Damages to all Indemnified Buyer Parties exceeds $250,000 (the “Threshold Amount”); provided, however, that after exceeding such amount, all Damages back to the first dollar shall be recoverable by the Indemnified Buyer Parties. The calculation of the Threshold Amount shall include any Damages incurred by an Indemnified Buyer Party for which the Indemnified Buyer Party would have been entitled to claim indemnification under this Section 10 with respect to a breach of representation or warranty but for such representation or warranty being qualified by materiality, the knowledge of a particular party or related exceptions. In no event shall the Seller Parties be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Buyer Parties under Section 10.1(a)(i) for an aggregate amount in excess of an amount equal to the Escrow Payment (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Threshold Amount nor the Cap shall apply to the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.7, 4.11, 4.14(c)(i)-(iii), 4.14(d)(i)-(iv), 4.14(e)(i)-(ii), 4.16, and 4.25. In addition, in the case of a claim for

48

49

Damages that may be made based on items set forth in more than one of clauses (a)(i) through (a)(vi) of Section 10.1(a), an Indemnified Buyer Party may make such claim based on any one of the clauses in Section 10.1(a), except to the extent that such claim is based solely on only one of such clauses.

10.3 Claims Period. Any claim for indemnification under this Section 10 shall be made by giving a Claim Notice under Section 10.2 on or before the applicable “Expiration Date” specified below in this Section 10.3, or the claim under this Section shall be invalid. “Expiration Date” means:

(a) with respect to any claim for Damages under Section 10.1(a)(i):

(i) 60 days after the date on which the applicable statute of limitations expires (with extensions), with respect to any claim for Damages related to a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.7, 4.16 or 4.22;

(ii) the first day following the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date, with respect to any claim for Damages related to a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 4.25;

(iii) in perpetuity, with respect to any claim for Damages related to a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, or 4.11; and

(iv) the first day following the second anniversary of the Closing Date, with respect to all other claim for Damages under Section 10.1(a)(i); and

(b) with respect to all other claims for Damages under Section 10.1, for the relevant statutory period of limitations applicable to the underlying claim, after giving effect to any waiver or extension thereof.

So long as an Indemnified Buyer Party gives a Claim Notice for an Unliquidated Claim on or before the applicable Expiration Date, such Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled to pursue its rights to indemnification regardless of the date on which such Indemnified Buyer Party gives the related Liquidated Claim Notice.

10.4 Third Party Claims. An Indemnified Buyer Party that desires to seek indemnification under any part of this Section 10 with respect to any actions, suits or other administrative or judicial proceedings (each, an “Action”) that may be instituted by a third party shall give each Indemnitor prompt notice of a third party’s institution of such Action. After such notice, any Indemnitor may, or if so requested by such Indemnified Buyer Party, any Indemnitor shall, participate in such Action or assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Buyer Party; provided, however, that such Indemnified Buyer Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of such Action; and provided, further, that the Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement, except with the written consent of such Indemnified Buyer Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Any failure to give prompt notice under this Section 10.4 shall not bar an Indemnified Buyer Party’s right to claim indemnification under this Section 10, except to the extent that an Indemnitor shall have been materially harmed by such failure.

10.5 Right of Offset. An Indemnified Buyer Party shall be entitled, at its sole discretion, to recover any Damages payable by the Seller Parties through a reduction of amounts due from Buyer to the Seller Parties to the extent any amounts are then or will in the future become payable by Buyer to the Seller Parties, including any amounts payable due to a Purchase Price adjustment as set forth in Section 2.5 hereof.

49

50

10.6 Effect of Investigation or Knowledge. Any claim by Buyer for indemnification shall not be adversely affected by any investigation by or opportunity to investigate afforded to Buyer, nor shall such a claim be adversely affected by Buyer’s knowledge on or before the Closing Date of any breach of the type specified in the Section 10.1 or of any state of facts that may give rise to such a breach; any such claim shall survive the Closing until the applicable Expiration Date. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not adversely affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.

10.7 Satisfaction of Indemnification Obligations. Each Indemnified Buyer Party shall first seek satisfaction of any Damages from the Escrow Funds, but only to the extent that Escrow Funds are then being held by the Escrow Agent and are not subject to other claims for indemnification, and Buyer and Seller shall provide joint written directions to the Escrow Agent for the release to such Indemnified Buyer Party from the Escrow Funds an amount equal to such Damages in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If such available Escrow Funds fail to fully satisfy the amount of any Damages to which such Indemnified Buyer Party is entitled to be indemnified hereunder and such claim is not subject to the Cap, then the Indemnified Buyer Party may seek payment of the unsatisfied amount of such Damages directly from the Seller Parties.

10.8 Contingent Claims. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent an Indemnified Buyer Party from making a claim hereunder for potential or contingent claims or demands (a “Contingent Claim”); provided that the Claim Notice sets forth the specific basis for any such Contingent Claim to the extent then feasible and the Indemnified Buyer Party has reasonable grounds to believe that such a claim may be made.

10.9 Vendor Claims. If any vendor of Seller makes a claim against Buyer for amounts regarding the liability of Seller to such vendor, Buyer will give Seller prompt notice of such vendor claim, and Buyer and Seller will cooperate to resolve such claim. Seller shall have no liability for any claims by vendors for which Buyer has not provided the notice required in this Section 10.9 or provided Seller an opportunity to participate in the resolution of such claims.

10.10 Several Liability. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement to the contrary and except for the claims for Damages under Section 10.1(a)(ii) described in the following sentence, the liability of the Shareholders set forth in Schedule 10.10 with respect to any claim for Damages under Section 10.1(a)(i) shall be several and not joint, and proportionate to each such Shareholder’s ownership interest of the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Seller, as set forth in Schedule 10.10. With respect to claims for Damages under Section 10.1(a)(ii) relating to a breach of the Shareholder’s covenants under Section 7.1(a), (b), (d) or (e) hereof, the Liability of each Shareholder set forth in Schedule 10.10 shall be several and not joint, but such Shareholder’s liability for Damages arising out of his breach of Section 7.1(a), (b), (d) or (e) shall not be limited to his proportionate share of his ownership interest in the issued and outstanding capital stock of the Seller in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence, but Buyer shall be entitled to claim the full amount of such Damages as Buyer may prove on account of such breach. The parties acknowledge and agree that the limitation of liability set forth in this Section 10.10 shall not limit or otherwise affect the joint and several liability of the remaining Shareholders.

11. Termination.

11.1 Grounds for Termination. The Parties may terminate this Agreement at any time before the Closing as provided below:

(a) by mutual written consent of each of the Seller Parties and Buyer;

50

51

(b) by any Party, if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2007 (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.1(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date;

(c) by any Party, if a Governmental Body shall have issued a Court Order (which Court Order the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts to lift) that permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the Transactions, and such Court Order shall have become final and nonappealable;

(d) by Buyer, if any of the Seller Parties shall have breached, or failed to comply with, any of their respective obligations under this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by the Seller Parties shall have been incorrect when made, and such breach, failure or misrepresentation is not cured within 20 days after notice thereof; or

(e) by the Seller Parties, if Buyer shall have breached, or failed to comply with any of its obligations under this Agreement or any representation or warranty made by it shall have been incorrect when made, and such breach, failure or misrepresentation is not cured within 20 days after notice thereof.

11.2 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 11, the agreements contained in Section 13.6 shall survive the termination hereof and any Party may pursue any legal or equitable remedies that may be available if such termination is based on a breach of another Party.

12. Other Matters.

12.1 Public Announcements. Except as and to the extent Buyer may be required by applicable Law or any applicable stock exchange regulations, without the prior written consent of the other Party, neither Buyer nor the Seller Parties will, and each will direct and cause its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants and other agents and representatives not to, directly or indirectly, make any public disclosure of or statement concerning this Agreement and the Transactions.

12.2 Reasonable Bests Efforts. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date each Seller Party will use his, her or its reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions in Sections 8 and 9 to be satisfied.
