2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Pre-Closing Adjustment. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall deliver to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) containing an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and good faith estimates or calculations, as applicable, in reasonable detail, of (i) Closing Company Cash, (ii) Closing Company Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Unpaid Transaction Fees, (iv) Closing Net Working Capital derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and (v) the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.1 based on the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.3(a) (the “Estimated Purchase Price”). The Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies and the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment.

(i) As promptly as reasonably practicable, but no later than 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement (the “Closing Statement”) containing an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and calculations, in reasonable detail, of (i) Closing Company Cash, (ii) Closing Company Indebtedness, (iii) Closing Unpaid Transaction Fees, (iv) Closing Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet, and (v) the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.1 based on the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.3(b)(i) (the “Final Purchase Price”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Methodologies and the provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) In the event Sellers have any objections to all or any portion of the Closing Statement, Sellers shall, within 30 days of Sellers’ receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver to Buyer a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail each item or amount that Sellers disputes (each, a “Disputed Item”), the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting Sellers’ positions. Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement delivered pursuant to Section 2.3(b)(i) other than the Disputed Items. During the 30 days immediately following Buyer’s receipt of a Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”), Buyer and Sellers shall seek in good faith to resolve any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Dispute Notice. If Sellers and Buyer reach agreement with respect to any such Disputed Items, Buyer shall promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect such agreement. If Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve all of the Disputed Items during the Resolution Period, then Buyer and Sellers shall jointly engage and submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) to Grant Thornton, LLP (the “Independent Accountant”) for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3(b). The Independent Accountant shall act as an accounting expert to determine, based solely on presentations by Buyer and Sellers and not by independent review, only the Unresolved Items still in dispute and shall be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Closing Statement to comply with the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer and Sellers shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause the Independent Accountant to issue its written determination regarding the Unresolved Items within 30 days after such items are submitted for review. The Independent Accountant shall make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 2.3(b) and the Accounting Methodologies and the sample calculation of Net Working Capital attached in Schedule 1.1(a), and in no event shall the Independent Accountant’s determination of any of the Unresolved Items be for an amount that is outside the range of Buyer’s and Sellers’ disagreement for such Unresolved Item. Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information pertaining to the Unresolved Items as the Independent Accountant may reasonably request and shall be afforded an opportunity to discuss the Unresolved Items with the Independent Accountant at such hearing as the Independent Accountant shall request or permit. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive upon Buyer and Sellers absent manifest error, and Buyer shall promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect such determination upon receipt thereof. The fees, expenses and costs of the Independent Accountant shall be borne by Buyer and Sellers in the same proportion as the aggregate amount of the Unresolved Items that is unsuccessfully disputed by each (as determined by the Independent Accountant) bears to the total amount of the Unresolved

15

Items submitted to the Independent Accountant. For example, if the total amount of the Unresolved Items submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3(b) is $1,000, (y) the aggregate amount of the Unresolved Items resolved by the Independent Accountant in favor of Sellers is $600 and the total amount of fees, expenses and costs of the Independent Accountant in connection with such dispute is $100, then Buyer shall bear $60 of such amount and Sellers shall bear $40 of such amount. The Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 408 shall apply with respect to any communications and other correspondence during the 30-day period after the Buyer’s delivery of the Closing Statement to Sellers and any subsequent communications related thereto or any applicable related Dispute Notice.

(iii) Each party shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide promptly to the other party all information and reasonable access to employees and representatives as such other party shall reasonably request in connection with review of the Estimated Closing Statement or the Closing Statement, as the case may be, including all work papers of the accountants who audited, compiled or reviewed such statements or notices (subject to each party and its representatives entering into any customary undertakings required by the other party’s accountants in connection herewith), and shall otherwise cooperate in good faith with such other party to arrive at a final determination of the Closing Statement.

(iv) Within five Business Days after the Closing Statement and Final Purchase Price is finalized pursuant to this Section 2.3(b), (i) if an Excess Amount exists, (A) the Excess Amount shall be paid out of the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account (and Buyer and Sellers shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such amount promptly from the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Buyer), (B) Buyer and Sellers shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse the remainder (if any) of the then-remaining Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Sellers, (C) in the event that the Excess Amount exceeds the amount of the Escrow Funds, the Sellers shall pay (severally and jointly) to Buyer the amount of such deficit by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Buyer; or (ii) if a Shortfall Amount exists, (A) Buyer and Seller shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to promptly disburse the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Seller; and (B) Buyer shall pay, or cause the Company to pay, the Shortfall Amount, to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Sellers. Any amount to be paid by Buyer to Sellers, or by Sellers to Buyer, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the receiving party and treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax reporting purposes.

2.4 Escrow Arrangements. The Escrow Funds shall be held, invested and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

2.5 Withholding. The Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amount payable pursuant to this Agreement (including payments of Purchase Price and releases of amounts held in Escrow) such amounts as the Buyer or the Company (or any Affiliate thereof) shall determine in good faith they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any other provision of Applicable Laws. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer or the Company, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent that any amount payable in connection with this Agreement to any employee of the Company constitutes “wages”, such amount shall be deposited in the payroll account of the Company, and the amounts due to each such employee (net of any applicable withholding) shall be paid to such employee pursuant to the next scheduled payroll of the Company thereafter, and all applicable withholding Taxes and employment Taxes shall be properly and timely remitted by the Company to the applicable Governmental Entity.

No failure or delay of the Buyer in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligations or liabilities of Seller Holders pursuant to this Agreement except to the extent Seller Holders are materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

(ii) The Company shall control any audit or other legal Proceeding in respect of any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Contest”).

(i) In the case of property Taxes and other similar Taxes imposed on a periodic basis for a Straddle Period, the amounts that are attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined by multiplying the Taxes for the entire Straddle Period by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

(ii) In the case of Taxes imposed on the Company with respect to the payment of any Transaction Fees (including any employment Taxes), such Taxes shall be treated as Taxes of the Company for a Pre-Closing Tax Period.

46

(iii) In the case of all other Taxes for a Straddle Period (including Income Taxes, employment Taxes, and sales and use Taxes) the amount attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined as if the Company filed a separate Tax Return with respect to such Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period ending as of the end of the day on the Closing Date using a “closing of the books methodology.” For purposes of this clause (iii), any item determined on an annual or periodic basis (including amortization and depreciation deductions and the effects of graduated rates) shall be allocated to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date based on the mechanics set forth in clause (i) for periodic Taxes.

(g) Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation.

(i) Buyer and the Seller Holders intend that the Reorganization qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Code Section 368(a)(1)(F) such that Newco shall succeed to the Company’s S corporation election and that the Conversion shall have no Income Tax effect. Buyer and Seller Holders agree that the sale of the Company Securities is intended for all applicable Income Tax purposes to be treated as a sale and purchase of assets. The parties hereto agree to file all federal, state, and local Tax Returns in accordance with the foregoing and shall take no position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Proceeding, unless otherwise required by a determination of the applicable Governmental Entity that is final.

(ii) Within sixty (60) days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.3, Buyer shall provide to Newco a draft of a schedule allocating the purchase price (including any liabilities treated as purchase price for federal income Tax purposes) among the assets of the Company (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) in accordance with Schedule 5.4(g)(ii) (the “Tax Allocation Schedule Methodology”). The draft Purchase Price Allocation Schedule will be prepared in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Tax Allocation Schedule Methodology. The draft Purchase Price Allocation Schedule shall be considered final unless the Sellers notify Buyer, in writing, that Sellers object to one or more items reflected in the draft Purchase Price Allocation Schedule within twenty (20) days after Sellers’ receipt of the draft Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. In the event of any such objection, Sellers and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if Sellers and Buyer are unable to resolve such dispute within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written objection, such dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountant in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Tax Allocation Schedule Methodology, with the determination of the Independent Accountant binding upon the parties. The procedures for resolution by the Independent Accountant (including the allocation of liability for the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses) shall be consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 2.3(b) (with such provisions applying to this Section 5.4(g) mutatis mutandis). If there are any adjustments to the purchase price for federal income tax purposes after the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule has been finalized, Buyer and Sellers shall make appropriate adjustments to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. The parties agree to file their respective IRS Forms 8594 and all federal, state, and local Tax Returns in accordance with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule and shall take no position inconsistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule in any Tax Proceeding, unless otherwise required by a determination of the applicable Governmental Entity that is final.

47

The Buyer shall not, and shall cause the Company not to, cancel or change such insurance policies in any respect.

(c) In the event Buyer, the Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity in such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in either such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.

5.6 Payments Received. Seller Holders and Buyer agree that, after the Closing Date, they shall hold and shall promptly transfer and deliver to the other party, from time to time as and when received by it and in the currency received, any cash, checks with appropriate endorsements (using commercially reasonable efforts not to convert such checks into cash) or other property that they may receive after the Closing Date which belongs to the other party, including any payments of accounts receivable and insurance proceeds, and shall account to the other party for all such receipts. In the event of a dispute between the parties regarding any party’s obligations under this Section 5.6, the parties shall cooperate and act in good faith to promptly resolve such dispute and, in connection with such cooperation, allow each other reasonable access to the records of the other relating to such disputed item.

5.7 Further Actions.

This Agreement and its negotiation, execution, performance or non-performance, interpretation, termination, construction and all claims or causes of action (whether in contract or tort) that may be based upon, arise out of, or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation and performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter this Agreement) (each, a “Covered Matter”), shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of Laws that might otherwise govern under any applicable conflict of laws principles.

7.11 Arbitration.

(a) Except for disputes and claims with respect to which a party hereunder seeks specific performance pursuant to Section 7.13 (which may be pursued in any state and federal court in the State of Delaware), each party hereunder agrees that arbitration administered by JAMS, Inc. in accordance with its JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”) shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any claim or dispute (“Claim”) arising out of or relating to the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, whether such Claim arose or the facts on which such Claim is based occurred prior to or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(b) The parties hereto agree that (i) one arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules to conduct any such arbitration, (ii) such arbitrator shall have at least 15 years of experience with respect to stock purchase agreements and complex commercial contracts, (iii) all meetings of the applicable parties and all hearings with respect to any such arbitration shall take place in the County of New York of the State of New York and (iv) each party to the arbitration shall bear its own costs and expenses (including all attorneys’ fees and expenses, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law), and all costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding (such as filing fees, the arbitrator’s fees, hearing expenses, etc.) shall be borne equally by the applicable parties.

(c) In addition, the parties hereto agree that (i) the arbitrator shall have no authority to make any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination that does not conform to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (as executed and delivered by the parties hereto) and (ii) the arbitrator shall have no greater authority to award any relief than a court having proper jurisdiction pursuant to Section 7.13. Any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitrator and any information disclosed in the course of any arbitration hereunder (collectively, the “Arbitration Information”) shall be kept confidential by the applicable parties, and any appeal from or motion to vacate or confirm such decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination shall be filed under seal.

(d) In the event that any party hereto or any of such party’s Affiliates, associates or representatives is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Arbitration Information (the “Disclosing Party”), such Disclosing Party shall notify the other parties promptly of the request or requirement so that any such other party may seek an appropriate protective

52

order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.11. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Disclosing Party or any of its Affiliates, associates or representatives believes in good faith, upon the advice of legal counsel, that it is compelled to disclose any such Arbitration Information, such Disclosing Party may disclose such portion of the Arbitration Information as it believes in good faith, upon the advice of legal counsel, it is required to disclose; provided that the Disclosing Party shall use reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request and expense of such other party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded to such portion of the Arbitration Information required to be disclosed as such other party shall designate. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.11 to the contrary, the parties shall have no obligation to keep confidential any Arbitration Information that becomes generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result of the Disclosing Party’s acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of such Party’s Affiliates, associates or representatives. The parties agree that, subject to the right of any party to appeal or move to vacate or confirm any decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of an arbitration as provided in this Section 7.11, the decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of any arbitration under the JAMS Rules shall be final, conclusive and binding on all of the parties hereto; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.11 shall prohibit any party hereto from instituting litigation to enforce any final decision, judgment, ruling, finding, award or other determination of the arbitration.

7.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF ANY COVERED MATTER. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

7.13 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 by the parties hereto in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller Holders, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction and that this shall include the right of Seller Holders to cause Buyer, on the one hand, and the right of Buyer to cause Seller Holders, on the other hand, to fully perform the terms of this Agreement to the fullest extent permissible pursuant to this Agreement and applicable Law and, subject to Section 9.13(b), to thereafter cause this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions thereto set forth in this Agreement. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any

53

party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any Law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. If any party brings any action to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof by any other party, the Outside Date shall be automatically extended for so long as the party bringing such action is actively seeking a court order for an injunction or injunctions or to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

7.14 Non-Recourse. Subject to this Section 7.14, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such party. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement), no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney, or other representative of any party hereto shall have any Liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose Liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or Liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith.

7.15 Legal Representation. Buyer hereby agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of its directors, members, partners, officers, employees and Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), and each of their successors and assigns (all such parties, the “Waiving Parties”), that Hinckley Allen & Snyder LLP (or any successor) may represent any or all of Seller Holders or its or their Affiliates (the “Seller Group”) or any director, member, partner, officer, employee or Affiliate of the Seller Group in connection with any dispute, litigation, claim, Proceeding or obligation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (any such representation, the “Post-Closing Representation”) notwithstanding its representation of the Company in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and Buyer on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties hereby consents thereto and irrevocably waives (and will not assert) any conflict of interest arising therefrom or relating thereto in connection with the Post-Closing Representation, provided, however, that the parties agree to take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that any attorney-client privilege attaching as a result of Hinckley Allen & Snyder LLP representing the Company will survive the Closing, and remain in effect and be controlled by the Company. Buyer, for itself and the Waiving Parties, hereby irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that all communications between the Seller Group and their counsel prior to the Closing, including Hinckley Allen & Snyder LLP, made substantially in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance under this Agreement, any agreements contemplated by this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby that were privileged communications between the Seller Group, the Company, and such counsel prior to the Closing, shall continue from and after the Closing to be privileged and that neither Buyer, the Waiving Parties, nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Buyer or any of the Waiving Parties, will seek to obtain the same by any process. From and after the Closing, Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Waiving Parties, waives and will not assert any attorney-client privilege with respect to any communication between Hinckley Allen & Snyder LLP or any Person in the Seller Group occurring prior to the Closing in connection with any Post-Closing Representation.

7.16 Release.

54

actions, causes of action, suits, proceedings, executions, judgments, duties, debts, dues, accounts, bonds, Contracts and covenants (whether express or implied), and claims and demands whatsoever whether in Law or in equity which the Releasing Parties may have against each of the Released Parties, now or in the future, in each case in respect of any cause, matter or thing relating to any of the Released Parties occurring or arising on or prior to the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.16 shall operate to release (a) any claim by a Seller Holder arising out of a Seller Holder’s post-Closing employment with Company, (b) any rights under this Agreement or any documents executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) any rights in a Seller Holder’s capacity as an officer or manager of the Company to indemnification, exculpation or liability or advancement of expenses under the Company’s organizational documents or benefits under any directors and officers insurance policy maintained by the Company to the extent not related to any claims arising under any documents executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement; provided, further, that nothing contained herein shall operate to release any obligations of the Releasing Party arising under this Agreement or under any other document executed and delivered by the Releasing Party at the Closing in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.

(b) Nonsolicitation; No Hire. During the Noncompete Period, Seller Holders shall not, and shall cause Seller Holders’ Affiliates and representatives to not, directly or indirectly, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee or independent contractor of Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates to leave the employ or services of Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates or in any way interfere with the relationship between Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates and any employee or independent contractor thereof, (ii) hire or otherwise retain any person who was an employee or independent contractor of Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates within 365 days prior to the time such employee or independent contractor is hired or otherwise retrained by such Person, (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates to cease doing business with Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and Buyer, the Company or any of their Affiliates or (iv) directly or indirectly acquire or attempt to acquire an interest in any Competing Business.

55

(d) Severability. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 7.17 is invalid or unenforceable, Buyer and Seller Holders agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(e) Additional Acknowledgments. Each Seller Holder hereby agrees and acknowledges as follows:

(i) Buyer would be substantially compromised if any Seller Holder be permitted to engage in any activity prohibited by Section 7.17(a) (Noncompetition), Section 7.17(b) (Nonsolicitation; No Hire) or Section 7.17(c) (Non-Disparagement).

(ii) At the Closing, each Seller Holder shall receive valuable consideration for the shares of the Company, and each Seller Holder therefore has a material economic interest in the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
