NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties, promises, covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

1.1 Purchase and Sale; Assumption and Exclusion of Liabilities.

(a) Purchased Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Company hereby agrees to sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase, acquire and accept from the Company, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to all of the assets, properties, rights and claims of the Company (other than the Excluded Assets) of every nature, real or personal, now existing or hereafter acquired, whether or not reflected on the books or financial statements of the Company, wherever located, whether tangible or intangible, as the same shall exist at the Closing, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens (the assets to be purchased by Buyer being referred to as the “Purchased Assets”), including, without limitation the following except as otherwise set forth as an Excluded Asset on Annex B:

(i) all Accounts Receivable and notes receivable (whether current or noncurrent), refunds, deposits, prepayments or prepaid expenses (including without limitation any prepaid insurance premiums) of the Company;

(ii) all Contracts related to the Business other than the Excluded Contracts (the “Assumed Contracts”);

(iii) all Leases;

(iv) all Fixtures and Equipment;

(v) all inventory of the Company;

(vi) all Records;

(vii) Company Intellectual Property;

(viii) all Permits;

(ix) all available supplies, sales literature, promotional literature, customer, supplier and distributor lists, art work, display units, telephone and fax numbers and purchasing records related to the Business;

(x) all rights under or pursuant to all warranties, representations and guarantees made by suppliers in connection with the Purchased Assets or services furnished to the Company pertaining to the Business or affecting the Purchased Assets, to the extent such warranties, representations and guarantees are assignable;

(xi) all deposits and prepaid expenses of the Company;

(xii) all intangible assets, including goodwill; and

(xiii) all claims, causes of action, choses in action, rights of recovery and rights of set-off of any kind relating to the Business, against any person or entity, other than any such claims, causes of action, choses in action, rights of recovery and rights of set-off which directly relate to the Excluded Assets or Excluded Liabilities.

(b) Assumption of Certain Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, at the Closing, Buyer will assume only the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer shall not assume, or otherwise be responsible for, any of the Excluded Liabilities, whether liquidated or unliquidated, or known or unknown, whether arising out of occurrences prior to, at or after the date hereof. The fact that a particular matter or circumstance does or does not, or may or may not, constitute a breach by the Company of its representations and warranties set forth in ARTICLE II hereof shall not have any relevance to the determination of whether any Liability related thereto is, or is not, an Excluded Liability. Likewise, disclosure of a Liability or potential Liability to Buyer on the disclosure schedules hereto or otherwise shall not have any relevance to the determination of whether any Liability is, or is not, an Excluded Liability, except with respect to the Assumed Liabilities.

1.2 Purchase Price. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, as consideration for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance and delivery of the Purchased Assets, the aggregate purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be equal to: (i) $65,000,000 (the “Cash Payment”); (ii) minus the aggregate amount of the Assumed Capital Leases; (iii) plus the Base Earnout Amount; (iv) plus the Insurance Earnout Amount; provided that the Purchase Price shall be further reduced or increased, as applicable, by the Adjustment Amount.

1.3 Delivery of Closing Payment Certificate; Calculation of Purchase Price.

(a) Not more than ten (10) Business Days (but at least one (1) calendar day) prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall in good faith cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer a certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the “Closing Payment Certificate”), setting forth:

(i) the Company’s calculation of the Estimated Closing Purchase Price, including the calculation of the aggregate amount of the Assumed Capital Leases (the “Estimated Assumed Capital Lease Amount”); and

(ii) the Company’s good faith estimate of the amount of Working Capital, as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date as set forth on Exhibit H (such estimate, “Estimated Working Capital”). The Company’s Estimated Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP, and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies, as were used in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet, excluding any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) For purposes hereof, the “Estimated Closing Purchase Price” means an amount equal to (A) the Cash Payment; (B) minus the Holdback Amount; (C) minus the Estimated Assumed Capital Lease Amount; (E) minus Closing Working Capital Shortage, if any; (F) plus Closing Working Capital Excess, if any. The Estimated Closing Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.4 hereof. A sample format for the calculation of the Net Working Capital and for the determination of the Target Working Capital is set forth in Exhibit H.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.3, Buyer shall pay to the Company any Closing Working Capital Excess in five (5) payments, each equal to twenty percent (20%) of such Closing Working Capital Excess, on the Closing Date and the last Business Day of the following four months.

1.4 Post-Closing Adjustments to Estimated Purchase Price.

(a) As soon as practicable after December 31, 2011, but in no event later than January 31, 2012, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to the Company a certificate (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) each component of the Closing Working Capital; (ii) the aggregate Assumed Capital Lease Amount (the “Closing Assumed Capital Lease Amount”); (iii) the Closing Working Capital Excess or Shortage if any taken into account in determining the Estimated Closing Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.3(b); and (iv) the Adjustment Amount. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, and, to the extent consistent with GAAP, using the same accounting methods, policies, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications and estimation methodologies, as were used in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet, excluding any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) During the thirty (30) day period after delivery of the Closing Statement, Buyer will make available to the Company and the Company’s accountant all records and work papers used in preparing the calculations in the Closing Statement. If the Company disagrees with any of Buyer’s calculations set forth in the Closing Statement, the Company may, within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice (the “Closing Statement Objection Notice”) to Buyer disagreeing with such calculations and setting forth the Company’s calculation of such amounts. Any such Closing Statement Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail those items and amounts as to which the Company disagrees. After the end of such 30-day period other than as set forth in Section 1.4(c) below, neither Buyer nor the Company may introduce additional disagreements with respect to any item in the Closing Statement or increase the amount of any disagreement, and any item not so identified on the Closing Statement Objection Notice shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Parties.

(c) If a Closing Statement Objection Notice is delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(b), the Company and Buyer shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement on the value of the disputed items or amounts, which such value shall not be greater than the greatest value for such items or amounts set forth in the Closing Payment Certificate or the Closing Statement (as the case may be) or lesser than the smallest value for such items or amounts set forth in the Closing Payment Certificate or the Closing Statement (as the case may be). If, during such period, the Company and Buyer are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter cause the Auditor to promptly review this Agreement for the purpose of calculating the value of those items or amounts disputed by the Company in the Closing Statement Objection Notice which remain in dispute. In making such calculations, the Auditor (i) shall consider only those items or amounts disputed by the Company in the Closing Statement Objection Notice which remain in dispute; and (ii) shall make whatever determination of each disputed items or amounts that it deems to be the most consistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided that the Auditor shall select either the position of Buyer or the Company as a resolution for each item or amount disputed and may not impose an alternative resolution with respect to any item or amount disputed. The Auditor’s determination will be based solely on presentations by the Company and Buyer which are in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement (i.e., not on the basis of independent review) and the Auditor shall deliver to the Company and Buyer as promptly as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days of its retention) a written report setting forth such calculation. Such written report shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Company and Buyer. The fees and disbursements of the Auditor shall be allocated between Buyer and the Company in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar value of disputed amounts submitted to the Auditor that are unsuccessfully disputed by each party (as finally determined by the Auditor) bears to the total dollar value of disputed amounts submitted to the Auditor, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective party incurring such expense.

1.5 Post-Closing Adjustment Payments.

(a) The “Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount (which may be expressed as a positive or negative number) equal to the sum of the following amounts (each of which may also be expressed as a positive or negative number), as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4:

(i) The amount, if any, by which Closing Working Capital exceeds or is less than Estimated Working Capital (with any such excess expressed as a positive number and any such deficit expressed as a negative number); provided that any uncollectible receivables in excess of the reserved amount shown on the Closing Payment Certificate shall be excluded from the Closing Working Capital and such uncollectible receivables shall become the property of the Company when finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4; plus

(ii) The amount by which the Estimated Assumed Capital Lease Amount exceeds or is less than the Closing Assumed Capital Lease Amount (with any such excess expressed as a positive number and any such deficit expressed as a negative number).

(b) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(a), is a negative number:

(i) Buyer shall set-off the Adjustment Amount from the Base Earnout Amount in accordance with Section 1.7; provided that to the extent the Adjustment Amount exceeds the Base Earnout Amount, then

(ii) The Company shall pay to Buyer such excess amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by Buyer; provided that to the extent the Adjustment Amount is not satisfied by the Company, then

(iii) Buyer shall deduct such excess amount from the Holdback Amount.

(c) If the Adjustment Amount, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.5(a), is a positive number, the Buyer shall deliver to the Company such Adjustment Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated by the Company.

1.6 Earn-Out.

(a) On each of the Earnout Payment Dates, the earnout amount calculated in accordance with Exhibit F (the “Base Earnout Amount”) and the earnout amounts calculated in accordance with Exhibit G attached hereto (the “Insurance Earnout Amount”, and together with the Base Earnout Amount, the “Earnout Amounts”), shall be determined separately. On each of the Earnout Payment Dates, the corresponding Earnout Amounts, if any, minus any set-off pursuant to Section 1.8, shall be due and payable to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) At each of the Earnout Payment Dates, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Company a reasonably detailed statement setting forth the calculation of the Earnout Amounts (each, an “Earnout Statement,” and collectively at each of the Earnout Payment Dates, the “Earnout Statements”). The Earnout Statements for the Base Earnout Amount will include the calculations of Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA, together with the financial statements used for the determination of Pro Forma EBITDA and a list of the accounts receivable reflected in the A/R Reserve (as defined below), including for each the amount so reserved.

(c) Earnout Review.

(i) The Company may dispute an Earnout Statement, including the calculation of the Earnout Amounts, by providing written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Buyer within thirty (30) days of Buyer’s delivery of the Earnout Statement to the Company. The Dispute Notice shall identify each disputed item, specify the amount of such dispute and set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. Buyer shall provide the Company with reasonable access and all information and assistance as may be reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of the Earnout Statement. If the Company fails to deliver to Buyer a Dispute Notice within the 30-day period set forth in this Section 1.6(c)(i), then the Earnout Amounts for the applicable Earnout Statement shall be deemed final, binding and conclusive.

(ii) If the Company delivers to Buyer the Dispute Notice within the 30-day period set forth in Section 1.6(c)(i), then Buyer and the Company shall attempt, in good faith, to reconcile their differences (including providing information that is reasonably requested to the other party), and any resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties and shall be evidenced by a writing signed by Buyer and the Company reflecting such resolution.

(iii) If Buyer and the Company are unable to reach resolution of all of the matters set forth in the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after the Company’s delivery of such Dispute Notice to Buyer, then Buyer and the Company shall promptly submit any remaining disputed items for final, binding and conclusive resolution in accordance with this Section 1.6(c)(iii)(A) or (B).

(A) The Auditor shall only decide the specific items under dispute by the Buyer and the Company and (x) shall select either the position of Buyer or the Company as a resolution for each item or amount disputed and may not impose an alternative resolution with respect to any item or amount disputed, and (y) such items shall be resolved in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the accounting methods, policies, practices or methodologies set forth in this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Auditor shall only examine, review and resolve disputes relating to the application of GAAP, accounting methods, policies, practices and methodology and the calculations set forth in an Earnout Statement.

(B) All disputes not resolved by Section 1.6(c)(iii)(A) relating to an Earnout Statement (including, without limitation, relating to breaches of the obligations of Buyer set forth in Section 1.6(e)) shall be resolved by an arbitrator in accordance with Section 8.8 hereof.

(iv) If disputed items are submitted to the Auditor for resolution, (A) each party will furnish to the Auditor such workpapers and other documents and information relating to the remaining disputed items as the Auditor may request and are available to such party, and each party will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Auditor any material relating to the disputed items and to discuss the resolution of the disputed items with the Auditor; (B) each party will use its good faith commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the resolution process so that the disputed items can be resolved within forty-five (45) days of submission of the disputed items to the Auditor; (C) the determination by the Auditor, as set forth in a written notice to Buyer and the Company, with respect to such disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties; and (D) the fees and disbursements of the Auditor shall be allocated between Buyer and the Company in the same proportion that the aggregate dollar value of disputed amounts submitted to the Auditor that are unsuccessfully disputed by each party (as finally determined by the Auditor) bears to the total dollar value of disputed amounts submitted to the Auditor, and all other costs and expenses shall be paid by the respective party incurring such expense. There shall be no presumption either for or against the correctness of any Earnout Statement as prepared by Buyer.

(d) The Earnout Amounts, if any, shall be paid and payable by Buyer to the Company and shall be paid in full on a date or dates selected by Buyer that results in the payment of such Earnout Amounts to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company on or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the later of (x) the date on which the Earnout Statement is deemed final, binding and conclusive in accordance with Section 1.6(c), and (y) the conclusion of the negotiation period with respect to any set-off pursuant to Section 1.7, provided that the portions of the Earnout Amounts which are not subject to dispute over whether any set-off right applies pursuant to Section 1.7 shall be paid as provided in this Section 1.6(d). If any of the Earnout Amounts are not paid pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) due to indemnity claims, then if, when and to the extent any such indemnity claims are determined to be invalid, such amounts shall be paid to the Company within a prompt time following such determination; provided, further that except as set forth on Schedule 1.6(d), any such amount paid pursuant to this Section 1.6 shall not be paid or otherwise distributed directly or indirectly as compensation to any employee of Buyer.

(e) Buyer and Sellers agree to the operational mechanics and requirements as set forth on Schedule 1.6(e); provided that: (i) Buyer agrees that it will not take any action that has the primary purpose of reducing Revenue, 2012 Incremental Insurance Revenue or 2013 Incremental Insurance Revenue for purposes of reducing the payments set forth under this Section 1.6 and (ii) Sellers agree to maintain pricing on Revenue for fiscal years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013 consistent with past practices; and (iii) Buyer will cause the Business to be operated in compliance with Section 1.6 during the portions of the Earn Out Period indicated therein.

(f) Optional Accounts Receivable Adjustment.

(i) In addition to those rights set forth in Section 1.6(c) above, the Company may, on or prior to December 31, 2012, deliver an Accounts Receivable Objection Notice to Buyer disagreeing with the amount of any accounts receivable reserve (the “A/R Reserve”) shown in the financial statements used for the determination of Pro Forma EBITDA, setting forth the amount of the disputed portion of the A/R Reserve (the “Disputed Reserve Amount”) and designating the specific accounts receivable related thereto (the “Designated A/Rs”).

(ii) In the event that the Company delivers an A/R Objection Notice, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, by the amount of any excess or deficit in the amount of actual collections on the Designated A/Rs in 2012 as compared to the Disputed Reserve Amount; provided, that the amount of such adjustment shall not be greater than the Disputed Reserve Amount set forth in the A/R Objection Notice.

(iii) Any dispute over the matters set forth in this Section 1.6 shall be settled as provided for in Section 1.6(c)(ii) and (iii) above.

(iv) Any increase in the Base Earnout Amount due to any adjustment as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.6(f) shall paid as follows: (i) 50% of such amount shall be paid by Buyer on the later of December 31, 2012 or upon final resolution of the disputed amount as provided for in Section 1.6(c)(ii) and (iii) 50% of such amount shall be added to the balance of the Base Earnout Promissory Note. Any decrease in the Base Earnout amount shall result in a corresponding decrease in the Base Earnout Promissory Note.

1.7 Set-Off Right.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, in addition to any other right hereunder, Buyer shall have the right from time to time following delivery of a Claims Notice pursuant to Section 6.5 to set-off the excess of any Claimed Amount over the then remaining balance of the Holdback Amount (the “Proposed Set-Off Amount”), against any Earnout Amounts required to be paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.6 of this Agreement.

(b) If Buyer elects to exercise its set-off rights hereunder against any amounts required to be paid by Buyer to the Company or the Company pursuant to this Agreement, it shall give the Company written notice of such election (the “Set-Off Notice”), which Set-Off Notice shall include a copy of the Claim Notice described in Section 6.5(a) and the amount to be set-off and a reasonable description of the circumstances giving rise to Buyer’s entitlement to such set-off.

(c) Any dispute regarding the amount, if any, of indemnification to which an Indemnitee shall be entitled shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.5(b). In the event that there is a final determination that the Sellers did not owe Buyer (or any of its Affiliates) all or any portion of the amount to be set-off, Buyer shall promptly repay to the Company all such amounts that are so determined to have been incorrectly set-off. For purposes of this Section 1.7, a determination shall be final if any and all appeals therefrom shall have been resolved or if all time periods for appeal shall have passed and no party shall have commenced any appeal therefrom. In the case of any such set-off by Buyer pursuant to this Section 1.7, the Sellers’ obligation to make such payment (or any portion thereof) shall be deemed satisfied and discharged to the extent of such set-off. The exercise of such right of set-off by Buyer in good faith, whether or not finally determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach under this Agreement.

1.8 Holdback.

(a) On December 1, 2012, Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the sum of (i) the lesser of (A) $3,500,000 or (B) the then-current balance of the Holdback Amount, and (ii) the Holdback Interest Amount (the “First Holdback Release Amount”), provided, however, that the First Holdback Release Amount shall not include any Claimed Amount.

(b) No later than the first Business Day following the twenty (20) month anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay to the Company the sum of (i) the then-remaining balance of the Holdback Amount (if any) and (ii) the Holdback Interest Amount (if any) (the “Second Holdback Release Amount” together with the First Holdback Release Amount, the “Holdback Release Amounts”), provided, however, that the Second Holdback Release Amount shall not include any Claimed Amount; and, provided, further, that after the amount of indemnification, if any, to which a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled is finally determined pursuant to Section 6.5(b) with respect to any Claimed Amounts, the then-remaining balance of the Holdback Amount in excess of such amounts (if any) shall be immediately paid by Buyer to the Company.

(c) If any Buyer Indemnified Party has or claims to have incurred or suffered Losses which are subject to the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VI hereof, Buyer shall deliver to the Company a notice (an “Holdback Claim Notice”) which shall include a copy of the Claims Notice contemplated by Section 6.5(a) and a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Buyer Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive pursuant to ARTICLE VI (the “Claimed Amount”). The amount, if any of indemnification to which an Indemnitee shall be determined in accordance with Section 6.5(b).

1.9 Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to Sellers such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payment under the Code or any other applicable Tax Laws. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to Sellers in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Buyer.

1.10 Transfer Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for and pay any and all excise, sales, value added, use, registration, stamp, transfer and similar taxes, levies, charges and fees incurred in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets provided for herein (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”). The Company shall prepare and timely file all necessary documentation and returns with respect to such Transfer Taxes. Under no circumstances shall the Company’s obligation hereunder or the Taxes giving rise thereto be reflected as a liability in Closing Working Capital.

1.11 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price (plus Assumed Liabilities, to the extent properly taken into account under the Code) (the “Tax Purchase Price”) shall be allocated among the various categories of Purchased Assets (the “Allocation”) in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the methodologies set forth on Schedule 1.11. Any agreement of Buyer and Sellers required under this Section 1.11 or Schedule 1.11 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Sellers and Buyer shall prepare mutually acceptable and substantially identical IRS Form 8594 “Asset Acquisition Statements Under Section 1060,” and any amendments thereto required by the purchase price adjustment in Section 4.12(d) hereof, consistent with the Allocation which the parties shall use to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to the applicable Tax Authorities. Sellers and Buyer agree to take no position and cause their Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the Allocation for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law or unless the other party consents thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each of Sellers and Buyer agree to provide the other promptly with any other information required to complete IRS Form 8594. Any redetermination of the Tax Purchase Price within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.338-7 shall be made as required thereby and shall be taken into account by Buyer and Sellers in carrying out the provisions of this Section 1.11 and Schedule 1.11, and the preparation and filing of IRS Form 8594 and corresponding state and local Tax Returns. In the event that the Allocation has not been fully determined in accordance with this Section 1.11 and Schedule 1.11 by the time the income Tax Returns of Buyer or any Seller are required to be filed (taking available extensions of time into account), then to the extent not so determined, Buyer and such Seller shall each file its Tax Returns based on their respective good faith determination; and if the final determination of the Allocation varies from the manner in which Buyer or such Seller prepared such Tax Returns, then it shall file an amendment of such Tax Returns in order to make the Tax Return as so filed consistent with the Allocation as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.11 and Schedule 1.11.

1.12 Allocation of Expenses. All utility charges, gas charges, electric charges, water charges, water rents and sewer rents, if any, shall be apportioned between Buyer and Seller as of 12:01 A.M. on the Closing Date, computed on the basis of the most recent meter chargers or, in the case of annual charges, on the basis of the established fiscal year. All prorations shall be made and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted insofar as feasible on the Closing Date. During the six-month period subsequent to the Closing Date, Seller shall advise Buyer and Buyer shall advise Seller of any actual changes to such prorations, and the Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased, as applicable, at the end of such six-month period. In the event Buyer or Seller shall receive bills after the Closing Date for expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date that were not prorated in accordance with this Section 1.12, then Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the other party as to the amount of the expense subject to proration and the responsibly party shall pay its portion of such expense (or, in the event such expense has been paid on behalf of the responsible party, reimburse the other party for its portion of such expenses). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1.12, this Section 1.12 shall not apply to any prorations to the extent such prorations are reflected in the Closing Working Capital statement.

4.1 Public Disclosure. Except as required for the pursuit of the third-party consents required by Section 5.2(a)(viii) and the Company’s announcements to and discussions with employees of the Company reasonably required in furtherance of the Asset Purchase and the performance of the parties’ obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, and except as otherwise required by Law (including federal, state and foreign securities Laws) or, as to Parent, by the rules and regulations of the NYSE, neither the Company, the Shareholders, Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or disclosure to any third-party of the existence or any subject matter relating to, or terms or conditions of, this Agreement unless approved by Parent, in its sole and absolute discretion, prior to release, announcement or disclosure. The Asset Purchase and this Agreement will be publicly announced at a time and in a manner determined by Parent in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Parent shall provide any such release or disclosure to Sellers for review and comment, and shall reasonably consider any such comments by Sellers prior to any such release, announcement or disclosure.

4.2 Additional Documents and Further Assurances; Cooperation. Buyer, the Company and the Shareholders, at the request of the other parties, shall execute and deliver such other instruments and do and perform such other acts and things as may be reasonably necessary or desirable for effecting completely the consummation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including all action reasonably necessary to seek and obtain any and all Approvals and consents required in connection with the Asset Purchase; provided, however, that neither Parent, Buyer nor (unless approved and so directed by Parent in advance) the Company nor the Shareholders shall be obligated to make or consent to any divestiture or operational limitation or activity in connection therewith, or any waiver or modification of any right, or any payment of money or grant of any other commercial concession as a condition to obtaining any such Approval). Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in ARTICLE V to be satisfied, where the satisfaction of such conditions depends on action or forbearance from action by such party.

4.3 Employee Matters. Schedule 4.3 sets forth a list of all employees of the Company employed in the operation of the Business as of the date hereof, stating such employee’s name, job title, location of employment, base salary or hourly rate of compensation, target incentive compensation, years of service credit, accrued vacation (the “Accrued PTO”) and other paid time-off, exempt/non-exempt status, and hire date (as the same may be updated by the Company no later than seven (7) days prior to the Closing). All such employees are referred to herein as the “Business Employees.”

(a) Offers of Employment. On or prior to the Closing Date, Acquisition Sub shall extend offers of employment to all Business Employees at the same location where such employees were employed immediately prior to the Closing Date on at least the same wage rates or cash salary levels and levels of responsibility, and on such other terms and conditions as are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to those in effect immediately prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall cooperate with and use its best efforts to make reasonably accessible to Buyer all such Business Employees and to assist Buyer in its efforts to secure satisfactory employment terms with those Business Employees. Solely with respect to the Essential Employees, on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall extend offers of employment to the Essential Employees pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Employment Agreement. Any Business Employees, including any Essential Employees, who accept an offer of employment in accordance herewith and commence employment with Buyer or its Affiliate as of the Closing Date (or on such employees’ next regularly scheduled work date) shall be referred to as the “Transferred Employees.” The Company and its Affiliates shall terminate for all purposes (including under all Employee Benefit Plans) the employment of all Business Employees, including any Essential Employees, who agree to become Transferred Employees, effective immediately prior to the Closing. The parties acknowledge and agree that the termination of employment of Transferred Employees as required by this Agreement shall constitute a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Code Section 409A) with respect to each Transferred Employee.

(b) Post-Closing Benefits. After the first day of the calendar month immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer shall, or shall cause an Affiliate to, make the health and welfare benefits set forth on Schedule 4.3(b) available to Transferred Employees who timely elect to participate in such programs, which plans shall be no less favorable, in the aggregate, than those health and welfare benefits provided by Buyer to Acquisition Sub’s similarly situated employees (other than the Transferred Employees) under Buyer’s “employee welfare benefit plans” (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA).

(c) Service Credit. For purposes of any “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) in which any Transferred Employee participates after the Closing (if any), Buyer shall, to the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable plan, recognize, or cause the recognition of, all service prior to the Closing of the Transferred Employee with the Company or its Affiliates, as if such service were with Buyer, for purposes of satisfying any waiting periods for eligibility to participate in any such employee benefit plan; provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that (i) such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits, or (ii) such service was not recognized under a corresponding Employee Benefit Plan. In addition, Transferred Employees will retain their anniversary dates for purposes of performance review and raises until December 31, 2011.

(d) Accrued PTO. The Company shall pay out to each Transferred Employee the amount of such Transferred Employee’s Accrued PTO at Closing, and Buyer shall provide the ability, following the Closing, to take unpaid absence from work (“Unpaid Time Off”), subject to the following conditions: (i) each Transferred Employee may take a number of days of Unpaid Time Off equal to the lesser of (A) the number of days represented by such Transferred Employee’s Accrued PTO, or (B) ten (10) days (in either case, such Transferred Employee’s “Unpaid Time Off”), (ii) Unpaid Time Off may be used only in accordance with applicable Company policies governing the use of paid-time-off generally for such Transferred Employee and only during the one-year period immediately following the Closing, after which any unused Unpaid Time Off will be canceled and forfeited, and (iii) the Transferred Employee must designate, prior to any absence from work, whether the days of absence will count against the Transferred Employee’s Unpaid Time Off or against post-Closing vacation accrual (in the latter case, if available).

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall be solely responsible for, and the Company shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates harmless from and against, any and all Liabilities or obligations, whether actual or contingent: (i) associated with any employee or other service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates (or any dependent thereof), including without limitation any Business Employee, in any case who does not become a Transferred Employee, including in connection with any termination of any such service relationship; (ii) that arise in connection with any Transferred Employee (or any dependent thereof) on or prior to the Closing Date; (iii) that arise under or in connection with any Employee Benefit Plan at any time (except as expressly provided in Section 4.3(d) above with respect to Assumed PTO); and (iv) associated with any Officer Change in Control Payment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall not, at any time, have or assume any obligation or liability with regard to any severance, retention, employment, change-of-control, pension, retirement, equity or other plan, program, policy or agreement of or with the Company or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer terminates any Transferred Employees within the 60-day period following the Closing, then Buyer shall make or shall cause its Affiliates to make any filings and shall deliver any notices required under the WARN Act in connection with the proposed termination of employment, and no Seller shall have any Liability under the WARN Act with respect to any such Transferred Employee terminated by Buyer or one of its Affiliates. Buyer or one of its Affiliates shall be solely responsible for any Liability that may accrue under the WARN Act or otherwise to any Transferred Employee as a result of any improper or untimely notice required under the WARN Act for “employment loss” that occurs after the Closing Date as a result of the termination of such Transferred Employee’s employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon any Transferred Employee any right with respect to continuance of employment by Buyer or its Affiliates, nor shall anything herein interfere with the right of Buyer or its Affiliates to terminate the employment of any of the Transferred Employees at any time, with or without cause, or restrict Buyer or its Affiliates in the exercise of its independent business judgment in modifying any of the terms and conditions of the employment of the Transferred Employees (except in each case as expressly provided on Schedule 1.6 or in Section 4.3(b) above).

(g) No provision of this Agreement shall (i) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or any of its Affiliates, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof; (ii) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Employee Benefit Plan, or Buyer employee benefit plan; (iii) obligate Buyer or its Affiliates to adopt, enter into or maintain any employee benefit plan or other compensatory plan, program or arrangement at any time; or (iv) be deemed to prevent or restrict in any way the right of Buyer or its Affiliates to terminate, reassign, promote or demote any Transferred Employee at any time, or to change the title, powers, duties, responsibilities, functions, locations, salaries, other compensation or terms or conditions of employment of such Transferred Employee (except in each case as expressly provided on Schedule 1.6).

4.4 Takeover Statutes. If any Takeover Statute is or may become applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents, the Board of Directors of the Company shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to eliminate the effects of any such Takeover Statute on any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.5 Company’s Auditors. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its management and its independent auditors to facilitate on a timely basis (a) the preparation of financial statements as required by Parent to comply with applicable SEC regulations and such financial statements would be audited using applicable private company auditing standards (AICPA), (b) the receipt of a letter acknowledging that the independent auditor shall provide consent to the inclusion of the Company’s audited financial statements in Parent’s reports and registration statements filed with the SEC and such consent(s) shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be billed for in accordance with the auditor’s standard billings for such services, (c) the review of any Company audit or review work papers, including the examination of selected interim financial statements and data, (d) the delivery of such representations from the Company’s independent accountants as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or its accountants, and (e) the securing of a binding fee commitment (on terms similar to those in place on the date of this Agreement) with respect to consents and comfort letters reasonably requested by Buyer after the Closing. Sellers and Buyer shall each pay 50% of the costs associated with compliance of this Section 4.5.

4.6 Collection of Receivables. On or following the Closing, if the Company, Shareholders or their respective Affiliates receive payments from any third parties with respect to receivables which are included in the Purchased Assets and which do not subsequently become the property of the Company pursuant to Section 1.5, the Company and Shareholders agree that it shall deliver, or cause their Affiliates to deliver, all such payments to Buyer or pay to Buyer an amount equal to such payments received.

4.7 Payment of Liabilities. Prior to or at the Closing, the Company shall cause the Indebtedness incurred in connection with the Business or the Purchased Assets, or otherwise encumbering the Business or the Purchased Assets to be fully paid and satisfied (including all accrued interest, prepayment penalties, early termination fees or other obligations), other than Assumed Liabilities. Promptly following the Closing, the Company and Shareholders shall cause (i) all security interests in the collateral securing any of such Indebtedness, as the same relates to the Business or the Purchased Assets, to be released and terminated and (ii) all related UCC financing statements to be terminated.

4.8 Records and Documents. From and after the Closing, Sellers agree that Buyer will be entitled to possession of all documents, business records, employment records (excluding medical records) of the Transferred Employees who provide their written authorization to the transfer of such records, agreements and financial data (collectively, the “Records”) of any sort related to the Purchased Assets or the Business other than those listed as Excluded Assets on Annex B; provided, however, that Sellers shall be allowed to make copies of and/or have reasonable access to such Records, including personnel Records to the extent permitted by applicable Law, in connection with the preparation of Financial Statements or Tax Returns, to deal with Tax audits (or otherwise as needed for Tax-related obligations), or other reasonable business purposes of Seller, including without limitation in connection with the Excluded Assets, Excluded Liabilities and the performance of any obligations hereunder; provided, further, that Sellers shall promptly reimburse Buyer for all out of pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Section 4.8. After the Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer and its agents and representatives reasonable access to any Records that are Excluded Assets, during normal business hours and on at least five (5) Business days prior written notice, for any reasonable business purpose specified by Buyer in such notice; provided, further, that Buyer shall promptly reimburse the Company for all out of pocket expenses incurred by the Company in connection with this Section 4.8. Buyer shall retain such records for a period of at least two (2) years following the Closing Date and thereafter may dispose of the Records in compliance with its then-current document retention policies.

4.9 Confidentiality; Non-Compete; Non-Solicitation; Non-Disparagement. In further consideration for the payment of the Purchase Price and in order to protect the value of the Purchased Assets purchased by the Buyer (including, without limitation, the goodwill inherent in the Company as of the Closing), upon the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and each Shareholder, as applicable, agrees as follows:

(a) As an employee, officer or director of the Company (as applicable), each Shareholder has had access to and contributed to information and materials of a highly sensitive nature (including Confidential Information, as defined below) of the Company. Each Seller agrees that except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, in connection with the enforcement of rights or performance of duties hereunder or in the course of employment by any Buyer Entity, unless such Seller first secures the written consent of an authorized representative of Parent or Buyer, such Seller shall not use for himself, herself, itself or anyone else, and shall not disclose to others, any Confidential Information, except to the extent such use or disclosure is required by Law or order of any Governmental or Regulatory Authority (in which event each Seller shall, to the extent practicable, inform Buyer in advance of any such required disclosure, shall cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable ways in obtaining a protective order or other protection in respect of such required disclosure, and shall limit such disclosure to the extent reasonably possible while still complying with such requirements). Each Seller shall use all reasonable care to safeguard Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft.

(b) Each Seller further agrees that promptly after the Closing, such Seller shall deliver to the Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer, all Confidential Information and other Intellectual Property of the Company in such Seller’s possession and control, in whatever form or medium. If the Buyer requests, each Seller shall promptly provide written confirmation and certification that such Seller has returned or destroyed all such materials.

(c) The Company and each Shareholder agrees that during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Noncompete Period”), it shall not (and shall not take any steps toward or preparations in respect of), directly or indirectly, either for itself or for any other Person, own, manage, control, participate in, consult with, render services for, permit his, her or its name to be used or in any other manner engage in any Competing Business. “Competing Business” is any person or entity that provides legal discovery-related services or products in competition with the Business. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “participate” includes any direct or indirect interest in any enterprise, whether as an officer, director, employee, partner, sole proprietor, agent, representative, independent contractor, seller, franchisor, franchisee, creditor, or owner; provided that the foregoing activities shall not include passive ownership of less than two percent (2%) of the stock of a publicly held corporation whose stock is traded on a national securities exchange or in the over the counter market.

(d) During the Noncompete Period, each Seller shall not directly or indirectly through another entity (i) encourage, induce, solicit or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit any officer, director or employee of Buyer or Buyer’s subsidiaries parent and related entities (each of the foregoing, a “Buyer Entity” and collectively, the “Buyer Group”) to leave the employ of the Buyer Group; (ii) hire or employ any Person who was an officer, director or employee of the Company (other than any Employee listed on Schedule 4.3(b)), at any time during the six (6) month period immediately prior to the date of this Agreement; (iii) call on, solicit, or service any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Buyer Group with respect to products or services that have been provided by the Company Group, are currently being provided by the Buyer Group or which the Buyer Group is currently in the process of developing; or (iv) encourage, induce or solicit, or attempt to encourage, induce or solicit, any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of the Buyer Group to cease doing business with the Buyer Group.

(e) Each Seller acknowledges and represents that: (i) sufficient consideration has been given by each party to this Agreement to the other as it relates hereto; (ii) such Seller has consulted with independent legal counsel regarding his or her rights and obligations under this Section 4.9; (iii) such Seller fully understands the terms and conditions contained herein; (iv) the scope of the business of the Company is independent of location (such that it is not practical to limit the restrictions contained in this Section 4.9 to a specified country, city or part thereof); (v) the restrictions and agreements in this Section 4.9 are reasonable in all respects and necessary for the protection of the Parent and Buyer and the other members of the Buyer Group and its Confidential Information and goodwill and that, without such protection, the Buyer Group customer and client relationship and competitive advantage would be materially adversely affected; (vi) the agreements in this Section 4.9 are an essential inducement to the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and they are in addition to, rather than in lieu of, any similar or related covenants to which such Seller is party or by which it is bound; and (vii) such Seller is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompete agreement or confidentiality agreement with any Person other than the Buyer. Each Shareholder that is an individual further acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 4.9 do not impose an undue hardship on him, her or it and, since he, she or it has general business skills which may be used in industries other than that in which each Buyer Entity conducts its business and do not deprive Shareholder of his or her livelihood or its business.

(f) If at any time a court or arbitrator’s award holds that the restrictions in this Section 4.9 are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated period, scope or area. The parties hereto agree that any breach of the provisions contained in this Section 4.9 will result in serious and irreparable injury and therefore money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Section 4.9 that is continuing, the Parent and Buyer, its successors and assigns and any third-party beneficiary to this Agreement, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce, or prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without posting a bond or other security). In addition, in the event of a breach or violation by any Seller of this Section 4.9, the Noncompete Period shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been duly cured.

4.10 Shareholder Release.

(a) As a material inducement to Parent’s and Buyer’s willingness to enter into and perform this Agreement and to purchase the Purchased Assets in connection with such purchase, each Shareholder, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates and Representatives, hereby releases and forever discharges Parent, Buyer, the Company (with respect to each Shareholder) and each of its individual, joint or mutual, past, present and future Representatives, Affiliates, shareholders, controlling persons, successors and assigns (individually, a “Releasee” and collectively, “Releasees”) from any and all Actions or Proceedings, Contracts and Liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which each Shareholder or any of their respective Representatives now has, have ever had or may hereafter have against the respective Releasees arising contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date on account of or relating to such Shareholder’s rights, if any, in the Purchased Assets; provided, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any obligation of the Company, Parent or Buyer arising under or in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.

(b) Each Shareholder hereby irrevocably covenants to refrain from, directly or indirectly, asserting any claim or demand, or commencing, instituting or causing to be commenced, any Action or Proceeding of any kind against any Releasee, based upon any matter purported to be released hereby.

(c) For the purposes of this Section 4.10, each Seller hereby expressly waives the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (or any Law of similar effect) which reads as follows:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

(d) In the event that any provision of this Section 4.10 is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Section 4.10 will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Section 4.10 held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

4.11 Confidentiality. The terms of the Confidentiality Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference and the obligations of Buyer under the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate upon the Closing. Buyer agrees that, if it discovers after the Closing Date that any of its employees possesses any confidential or proprietary document relating to the Excluded Assets which Buyer is not entitled to possess, it will immediately return such document to Sellers or destroy such document (and, upon request, certify as to the destruction thereof).

4.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Buyer and Sellers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to the Purchased Assets or the Business, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Buyer or Sellers, the making of any election relating to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Tax Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertaining to the Purchased Assets or the Business for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date. Buyer and Sellers shall cooperate fully with each other in the conduct of any audit, litigation or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the Purchased Assets, the Business or the Allocation.

(b) Sellers shall be responsible for and shall promptly pay when due all Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period. All Property Taxes levied with respect to the Purchased Assets for any Straddle Period shall be apportioned between Buyer and Sellers based on the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the number of days of such Straddle Period included in the Post-Closing Tax Period. Sellers shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and Buyer shall be liable for the proportionate amount of such Property Taxes that is attributable to the Post-Closing Tax Period. Upon receipt of any bill for such Property Taxes, Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, shall present a statement to the other setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which each is entitled under this Section 4.12(b) together with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the proration amount. The proration amount shall be paid by the party owing it to the other within ten (10) days after delivery of such statement. In the event that Buyer or any Seller makes any payment for which it is entitled to reimbursement under this Section 4.12(b), the applicable party shall make such reimbursement promptly but in no event later than ten (10) days after the presentation of a statement setting forth the amount of reimbursement to which the presenting party is entitled along with such supporting evidence as is reasonably necessary to calculate the amount of reimbursement.

(c) Sellers shall promptly notify Buyer in writing upon receipt by Sellers of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of Sellers that reasonably may be expected to relate to or give rise to a Lien on the Purchased Assets or the Business. Each of Buyer and Sellers shall promptly notify the other in writing upon receipt of notice of any pending or threatened Tax audit or assessment challenging the Allocation.

(d) Any payments made to any party pursuant to ARTICLE VI and Sections 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.12 shall constitute an adjustment of the purchase price for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Buyer and Sellers on their Tax Returns to the extent permitted by Law.

(e) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties’ obligations set forth in Sections 4.12(a) and 4.12(c) are in addition to the Parties’ obligations set forth in Section 6.6.

4.13 Authorizations; Notices and Consents.

(a) Sellers shall cooperate fully with Buyer and use their commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain all authorizations, consents, orders and approvals of all Governmental or Regulatory Authorities and that may be or become necessary for the execution and delivery of, and the performance of its obligations pursuant to, the Transaction Documents.

(a) Any party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnitee”) shall give promptly to the party obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnitee (the “Indemnitor”) (it being understood, however, that where the Sellers would otherwise be Indemnified Parties or Indemnitors, all references to such term as used in the procedural provisions of this Section 6.5 shall instead refer to the Company) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim for indemnification hereunder and shall include in such Claim Notice (if then known) the amount or the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument executed hereunder or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnitee to give the Claim Notice promptly as required by this Section 6.5(a) shall not affect such Indemnitee’s rights under this ARTICLE VI except to the extent such failure is prejudicial to the rights and obligations of the Indemnitor.

The party controlling the defense of such Third Party Claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith the recommendations made by the non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. To the extent the Indemnitor elects not to defend such proceeding, claim or demand, and the Indemnitee defends against or otherwise deals with any such proceeding, claim or demand, the Indemnitee may retain counsel, at the expense of the Indemnitor (subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VI), and control the defense of such proceeding. Neither the Indemnitor nor the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any such proceeding, which settlement or compromise obligates the other party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit liability without the written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided that the consent of the Indemnitee shall not be required if the Indemnitor agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or compromise and such settlement or compromise includes a complete written release of the Indemnitee from further liability and does not impose any injunctive relief or other operational restrictions on the Indemnitee.

(c) The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such legal proceeding, claim or demand. Such cooperation shall include the retention and the provision of records and information which is reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and to act as witnesses. Solely with respect to any defense, negotiation or settlement of any legal proceeding, claim or demand related to or in connection with an Excluded Assets (but not relating to or in connection with any Excluded Liability) Sellers shall promptly reimburse Buyer for all out of pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Section 6.6(c).

6.7 Determination of Loss Amount. The right to indemnification and the payment of Losses of any Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, or the availability of any other remedies contemplated hereby or otherwise available to the Indemnitee at law or in equity, based upon any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation of Shareholders or the Company contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement will not be affected by any investigation made by or on behalf of any Indemnitee or its Affiliates.

6.8 Order and Manner of Payment. Any indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VI shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Indemnitee within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the amount thereof, whether pursuant to a final arbitration or settlement or agreement among the parties hereto; provided that except as set forth in Section 6.4 any indemnification payment due to any Buyer Indemnified Party shall first be deducted from the Holdback Amount, then set-off in accordance with Section 1.7 and only after the Holdback Amount and Earn Out Amounts have been depleted will any Seller be required to make any payment pursuant to this ARTICLE VI.

6.9 Mitigation. Each of the parties hereto agrees to take all reasonable steps to mitigate their respective Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event or condition which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses that are indemnifiable hereunder.

6.10 Subrogation. Upon making any payment to the Indemnitee for any indemnification claim pursuant to this ARTICLE VI, the Indemnitor shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnitee may have against any third parties with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim and the Indemnitee shall assign any such rights to the Indemnitor.

ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS

8.1 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement; provided that any Person that is not a party to this Agreement but, by the terms of ARTICLE VI, is entitled to indemnification, shall be considered a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement, with full rights of enforcement as though such Person was a signatory to this Agreement.

8.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits hereto, the Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between such parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

8.3 No Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned (by operation of Law or otherwise) by any party hereto without the written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the foregoing sentence, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and for all purposes of this Agreement and the Asset Purchase, the Shareholders, the Company, and Buyer agree that (a) Buyer shall be entitled to assign its rights, duties and obligations hereunder, including Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Purchased Assets, to any one or more Affiliates of Buyer, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, and (b) in the event of a liquidation, wind-up or dissolution of the Company after the Closing, the Company shall be entitled to assign its rights hereunder to the Shareholders.

8.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in two or more counterparts via facsimile transmission or via email with scan or email attachment. Any such counterpart executed and delivered via facsimile transmission or via email with scan or email attachment will be deemed an original for all intents and purposes, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.

8.5 Titles. The titles, captions or headings of the Articles and Sections herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Any party hereto may send any notice, request, demand, claim or other communication hereunder to the intended recipient at the address set forth above using any other means, but no such notice, request, demand, claim or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is received by the intended recipient. Any party hereto may change the address or facsimile number to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving each other party notice in the manner herein set forth.

8.7 Governing Law. This Agreement (and any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic Laws of the State of California without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of California.

8.8 Arbitration. Except as provided for herein, all disputes, controversies and claims between the parties under this Agreement involving its interpretation, the obligations of a party hereto, or the breach thereof will be resolved by binding arbitration, to be administered in California by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”) in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect (the “JAMS Rules”); provided, however, that this Section 8.8 shall not preclude any party hereto from seeking equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction. There will be one arbitrator selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules, which arbitrator shall have served as a judge for a minimum of fifteen (15) years. The place of the arbitration will be San Francisco, California. The arbitrator shall be bound to apply the applicable substantive law set forth herein to each dispute. The arbitrator shall issue a statement of decision in accordance with the express terms of the Agreement. The arbitrator is not empowered to alter, amend, modify or change any of the terms of this Agreement, or to award punitive damages under any circumstances, whether statutory or common law in nature, and including, but not limited to, treble damages awarded by statute. The parties shall make the arbitrator aware of this Section 8.8 limiting damages and liabilities before the start of any arbitration proceedings. The dispute resolution proceedings and discovery shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent practical and in the interests of justice, it is intended by the parties that the arbitration of the dispute be completed within ninety (90) days after the selection of the arbitrator. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in court of competent jurisdiction. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding and not be subject to appeal. If a party hereto against whom the arbitrator renders an award fails to abide by such award, the other party or parties may seek to enforce such award in a court of competent jurisdiction.

8.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any California State court, or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in California, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any Action or Proceeding arising out of or relating to the Transaction Documents delivered in connection therewith or the transactions contemplated thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in such courts; (b) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such California State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court; (c) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in any such California State or Federal court; and (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Action or Proceeding in any such California State or Federal court. Each party hereto agrees that (i) this Agreement involves at least $250,000.00 and (ii) this Agreement has been entered into by the Parties in express reliance upon Section 1646.5 of the California Civil Code. Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such Action or Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.6.

8.10 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS; (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS; (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY; AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 8.10.

8.11 Amendment or Modification. This Agreement may not be amended except in a written instrument executed by Buyer and the Company. No amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party hereto to be bound thereby.

8.12 Waivers. Except where a specific period for action or inaction is provided herein, neither the failure nor any delay on the part of any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any party hereto of any such right, power or privilege, nor any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power or privilege. The failure of a party hereto to exercise any right conferred herein within the time required shall cause such right to terminate with respect to the transaction or circumstances giving rise to such right, but not to any such right arising as a result of any other transactions or circumstances.

8.13 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Except where this Agreement specifically provides for arbitration, it is agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state or province having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

8.14 Construction.

(a) Each party hereto agrees that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification) in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty, or covenant (including any indemnification provision) relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached (or is not otherwise entitled to indemnification with respect thereto) shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant (or is otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to a different provision).

(b) The Disclosure Schedules are hereby incorporated by reference into the sections in which they are directly referenced and nothing in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the Disclosure Schedules identify the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the mere listing (or inclusion of a copy) of a document or other item shall not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). The specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in the Disclosure Schedules does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder and no party hereto shall use the fact of the setting forth of any such amount or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy between the parties hereto as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described herein or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement.

8.15 Severability of Provisions. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced as a result of any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and other provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

8.16 Shareholders’ Representative . In the event that the Company dissolves or otherwise lacks the requisite power and authority to carry on its business and perform its obligations, immediately prior to such time, the Company shall appoint a shareholders’ representative (the “Shareholders’ Representative”) to perform the obligations of the Company under this Agreement and in all appropriate instances in this Agreement, the term the “Company” shall be replaced with the “Shareholders’ Representative”.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
