1.6 Purchase Price; Payment. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and subject to adjustment as provided herein, at the Closing the Buyer shall acquire the Purchased Assets from the Seller for an aggregate consideration ranging from approximately Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) up to Five Million Seven Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($5,750,000) (the “Purchase Price”), dependent upon the amount paid by the Buyer with respect to the Seller’s loan payable to RBC Centura described in Section 1.6(b), below. In addition, the Purchase Price may be adjusted as provided in Section 1.8 below. The Purchase Price shall be payable as follows:

(a) The Closing Cash Payment in cash by wire transfer to the account or accounts designated by the Seller Responsible Parties not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date;

(b) On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall pay, on behalf of the Seller, the Seller’s loan payable to RBC Centura in the outstanding amount of $1,019,472;

(c) On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the executed Promissory Note A in the principal amount of $250,000;

(d) On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the executed Promissory Note B in the principal amount of $1,250,000 (or such lesser amount as provided herein);

(e) On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the executed Promissory Note C in the principal amount of $150,000;

(f) 250,000 shares of the common stock of ForeFront Holdings (the “Common Shares”).

1.7 Closing Balance Sheet and Net Asset Value Statement. At the Closing, the Buyer and the Seller shall jointly cause to be prepared a balance sheet of the Business as it existed immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”), prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by an additional schedule of information (the “Closing Date Schedule of Net Assets”) which shall accurately present the Net Assets purchased by the Buyer as at the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Assets”).

1.8 Purchase Price Adjustments; Deemed Satisfaction of Promissory Note B. The Purchase Price may be adjusted in accordance with the following:

(a) The principal amount of Promissory Note B may be adjusted as follows:

(i) Any amounts in excess of $1,750,000 paid by the Buyer to pay off the Seller’s line of credit with RBC Centura shall be deducted from the original principal amount of Promissory Note B;

(ii) Intentionally deleted.

(iii) In the event that any other mutually agreeable adjustments are necessary, then the Purchase Price will be further adjusted by increasing or decreasing the principal amount of Promissory Note B. For example, if the Buyer and the Seller disagree as to the value of any Purchased Asset, then the Buyer will pay the Seller the stated book value for the subject Purchased Asset. The Seller will then have a period of 24 months following the Closing to sell such Purchased Asset. If the Seller is unable to sell such Purchased Asset for at least the stated book value, then the Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar for dollar and shall be reflected by a reduction in Promissory Note B. If the Seller is able to sell the subject Purchased Asset for more than the stated book value, then the difference between the stated book value and the sales proceeds for such Purchased Asset shall be divided equally between the Buyer and the Seller and paid to the Seller within 10 days after sale.

(b) The principal amount of Promissory Note B may also be adjusted as follows: The Purchase Price is based on the assumption that adjusted EBITDA of the Seller for the 2007 fiscal year will be at least $930,000. In the event that adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2007 is less than $930,000, the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward dollar for dollar for each dollar by which adjusted EBITDA is less than $930,000 for such fiscal year. The amount of any such adjustment shall be deducted from the principal amount due under Promissory Note B. In the event that adjusted EBITDA for fiscal year 2007 is greater than $930,000, the Purchase Price will be adjusted upward dollar for dollar for each dollar by which EBITDA exceeds $930,000 for such fiscal year. The amount of any such adjustment shall be added to the principal amount due under Promissory Note B. By way of illustration, (A) if the adjusted EBITDA amount is $630,000 for the 2007 fiscal year, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by $300,000 and the principal amount of Promissory Note B shall be likewise reduced; and (b) if the adjusted EBITDA amount is $1,230,000, the Purchase Price shall be increased by $300,000 and the principal amount of Promissory Note B shall be likewise increased. Such adjustment, if any, shall be determined based on the Devant division’s adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2007 as set forth in Forefront Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year then ended, and the amount of such adjustment shall be finalized within 10 days of the filing of such Annual Report on Form 10-KSB with the SEC.

In determining the EBITDA for the 2007 fiscal year, the Buyer shall prepare an income statement of the Devant division of the Buyer normalized to reflect what the income statement of the Seller for such period would have been had the Purchased Assets not been sold to the Buyer and had such income statement been prepared in the same manner as the Seller’s income statements were prepared prior to Closing (including, without limitation, year-end adjustments to inventory balances, reserves and allowances and year-end accruals consistent with past practices of the Company) (the “Normalized Income Statement”). The following are examples of some of the types of adjustments to the income statement for such period that will be reflected in the Normalized Income Statement: (i) the Normalized Income Statement will not include any

expenses or taxes paid, accrued or incurred by the Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in the event that a facility of the Buyer is closed or merged into or consolidated with the operations of another facility, the Normalized Income Statement will reflect what the consolidated income statement of the Devant division for such period would have been had such closing, merger or consolidation had not occurred; (iii) in the event that the Buyer acquires any other business or product line, the results of such acquisition and all expenses related to the acquisition and operation thereof shall be excluded from the Normalized Income Statement; (iv) in the event of any dispute relating to this Agreement, all expenses of the Buyer related to the resolution of such dispute shall be excluded from the Normalized Income Statement; (v) to the extent that any related party transactions occurring after the Closing Date are reflected on the books of the Buyer on terms other than arms length terms, such transactions will be reflected in the Normalized Income Statement as if they had been made on arms length terms; (vi) to the extent that after the Closing the compensation paid to employees is increased (other than increases of compensation in the ordinary course of business consistent with the Seller’s past practices), the Normalized Income Statement will reflect the level of compensation expense that would have been realized had such increase in compensation not occurred; and (vii) to the extent that after the Closing, the Buyer acquires any new capital equipment for any purpose other than to replace existing equipment, the earnings and expenses related to such new equipment will be excluded from the Normalized Income Statement to the extent that such earnings and equipment are used to process (a) business for a new customer that has not been a customer of Seller during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the Closing or (b) business for an existing customer of the Company that is in excess of the average monthly volumes processed for such customer during the preceding twelve-month period.

(c) In addition to the foregoing, Promissory Note B may be satisfied with the Common Shares as set forth herein. As of April 15, 2009, the Buyer has a good faith belief that the fair market value of the Common Shares will be at least $5.00 per share (based on the 30 day moving average trading price of Forefront Holdings’ common stock as quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or other established market (the “30-Day Value”)) and that such Common Shares will be saleable at such price on a national exchange or other established market on April 15, 2009.

(i) In the event that on April 15, 2009, the aggregate value of the Common Shares (based on the 30-Day Value) is less than the then outstanding principal amount of Promissory Note B, then (1) the principal balance of Promissory Note B (as such amount may be adjusted as provided herein) shall be reduced by the value of the Common Shares as of such date (based on the 30-Day Value), and (2) the Buyer shall pay the residual balance of Promissory Note B in cash (provided that, any such payment is subject to the subordination agreement entered into between the Seller and the Buyer’s senior lender).

(ii) In the event that on April 15, 2009, the aggregate value of such Common Shares (based on the 30-Day Value) is equal to or greater than the then outstanding principal amount of Promissory Note B, then Promissory Note B shall be deemed paid and satisfied in full. In the event that there has been one or more downward adjustments to Promissory Note B in accordance with this Section 1.8 and the aggregate value of the Common Shares (based on the 30-Day Value) is greater than the then outstanding principal amount of Promissory Note B, then the Seller shall immediately pay to the Buyer an amount in cash equal to the lesser of (1) the shortfall amount between

the aggregate value of the Common Shares and the then outstanding principal amount of Promissory Note B and (2) the aggregate dollar amount of all downward adjustments to Promissory Note B;

provided, however, that the Seller may pay such amount by transferring to the Buyer that amount of Common Shares having a value (based on the 30-Day Value) equal to the difference between the aggregate value of all of the Common Shares and the then outstanding principal amount of Promissory Note B in lieu of paying such amount in cash.

If at any time prior April 15, 2009, the Seller shall sell all or a portion of the Common Shares, which sale shall require the prior written consent of the Buyer, then Promissory Note B shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of $5.00 and the amount of Common Shares sold.

1.9 Pro-rations. All obligations due in respect of periods prior to Closing shall be paid in full or otherwise satisfied by the Seller and all obligations due in respect of periods after Closing shall be paid in full or otherwise satisfied by Buyer. Taxes, customer deposits, prepayments, employee accruals and similar items identified on Schedule 1.9 hereto will be prorated at Closing.

There are and at the Closing will be no restrictions on the Seller to terminate any such powers immediately upon written notice and to withdraw all such funds and close such bank accounts.

2.28 Product Warranties. Set forth on Schedule 2.28 are representative forms of product warranties and guarantees granted or issued by the Seller in connection with the

Business. None of the other product warranties or guarantees granted or issued by the Seller in connection with the Business differs in any material respect from such representative forms. Except as described in Schedule 2.28, since January 1, 2002, no product warranty or similar claims have been made against Seller in connection with the Business. The Seller has committed no act, and there has been no omission, which could reasonably be expected to result in, and there has been no occurrence which could reasonably be expected to give rise to, any material product liability or liability for breach of warranty (whether covered by insurance or not) on the part of Seller, with respect to products sold prior to the Closing in the operation of the Business.

The Seller Responsible Parties further acknowledge that the Common Shares are being obtained solely for the Seller’s own account and for investment purposes only, within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and that the Seller has no plan, intention, contract, understanding, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise transfer to any person the Common Shares or any part thereof other than transfers by the Seller to the Seller Responsible Parties and their family members or affiliates, and the Buyer, ForeFront Group and ForeFront Holdings hereby consent to such transfers. Each of the Seller Responsible Parties understands that the Common Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities Laws inasmuch as such Common Shares are being acquired from ForeFront Holdings in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such Laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act, only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, the Seller Responsible Parties are familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.

2.31 Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Seller contained in this Agreement or any document or certificate furnished or to be furnished by or on behalf of the Seller to the Buyer in connection herewith or with the Closing contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or will omit to state any material fact required to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading.

(a) The Seller Responsible Parties shall be liable for and shall indemnify the Buyer, for (i) all Taxes (as defined below) imposed on the Seller, or for which the Seller may otherwise be liable, for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Periods”) and, with respect to any portion of a taxable year or period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date (“Straddle Period”), the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date, and (ii) all liabilities imposed on the Seller on or before the Closing Date under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) for Taxes of the Seller or any other corporation which is affiliated with the Seller (other than the Seller).

(b) The Buyer shall be liable for, and shall indemnify the Seller and its Affiliates for, all Taxes imposed on the Seller or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Seller for any taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and, with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date.

(c) For purposes of this Section 7.1, whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of the Seller for a portion of a Straddle Period:

(i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes (“Property Taxes”) for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the amount of such Property Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during the Straddle Period that are in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and

(ii) all other Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined by assuming that the Seller had a taxable year or period that ended at the close of the Closing Date.

7.2 Adjustment to Purchase Price. The Buyer and the Seller Responsible Parties agree to report any indemnification payment made by the Seller under Section 7.1 as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, contribution to capital, or other non-taxable amount to the extent that there is substantial authority for such reporting position under applicable law.

7.3 Transfer and Conveyance Taxes. The Seller shall be liable for and shall pay all applicable sales, transfer, recording, deed, stamp and other similar taxes resulting from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Buyer shall pay all documentary stamp tax expenses applicable to Promissory Note A, Promissory Note B and Promissory Note C.

Article 8. Survival; Indemnification.

8.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by any Party to this Agreement will survive for a period of 27 months following the Closing and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the other Party before or after the Closing; provided, however, that (i) there will be no expiration date for any Claims and Damages relating to a Breach of or inaccuracy in the representations and warranties contained in sub-section (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.10 (Title to Assets) and Section 3.4 (Valid Issuance of Shares); (ii) the representations and warranties of the Seller Responsible Parties contained in Sections 2.19 (Environmental Matters), 2.20 (Employee Benefit Matters) and 2.25 (Taxes) shall survive for the duration of any applicable statute of limitations, the duration of any suspension, waiver or extension thereof, and for sixty (60) days thereafter and (iii) the obligations of the Buyer to pay the Purchase Price, including all amounts payable under Promissory Note A, Promissory Note B and Promissory Note C, and the obligations of ForeFront Group and ForeFront Holdings pursuant to the Guaranty Agreements shall survive until all amounts due thereunder have been satisfied. No investigation by or knowledge of Buyer or its representatives will affect in any manner the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Sellers set forth in this Agreement (or in any document to be delivered in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) or Buyer’s right to rely thereon, and such representations, warranties and covenants will survive any such investigation.

8.2 Indemnification by the Seller Responsible Parties. Subject in all respects to the provisions of this Article 8, each of the Seller Responsible Parties, on a several basis (with respect to the individual shareholders of the Seller, in accordance with their respective percentage ownership of the Seller as of the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule 8.2 hereto), hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives after the Closing Date from and against any Claims and Damages incurred by them arising out of or resulting from:

(a) any breach on the part of the Seller Responsible Parties (or any of them) of (i) any representation or warranty made herein or in any certificate delivered by the Seller Responsible Parties (or any of them) pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any covenant or agreement made by the Seller Responsible Parties (or any of them) in this Agreement;

(b) any Excluded Liability; or

(c) any third party claim existing as of the Closing Date, including those in which the Seller is a plaintiff or defendant or any dispute initiated by the Seller prior to the Closing (a “Liability Claim”).

8.3 Indemnification by the Buyer. Subject in all respects to the provisions of this Article 8, each of the Buyer, ForeFront Group and ForeFront Holdings, on a several basis, hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Responsible Parties and their Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives after the Closing Date from and against any Claims and Damages incurred by them arising out of or resulting from any breach on the part of the Buyer of (i) any representation or warranty made by the Buyer in Article 3 hereof or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) any covenant or agreement made by the Buyer in this Agreement.

8.4 Limitations on Indemnification Claims and Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8, the provisions of Article 2 or any other provision of this Agreement, the maximum amount of actual Claims and Damages for which the Seller Responsible Parties shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer shall be limited to an amount equal to $2,000,000; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on indemnification shall not apply (and the Seller Responsible Parties’ indemnification obligations shall be unlimited) with respect to any Claims and Damages arising from any breach of the representations and warranties set forth in sub-section (i) of the first sentence of Section 2.10 (Title to Assets; Related Matters), above, or any Claims or Damages arising from or related to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of the Seller Responsible Parties. The respective representations and warranties of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement, and the opportunity to make a claim for indemnification, or otherwise be indemnified or held harmless, under this Article 8 with respect thereto or with respect to (i) any covenant or agreement relating to any action required by this Agreement to be taken prior to or at the Closing or (ii) any Liability Claim shall survive until a final, unappealable order is entered with respect to such Liability Claim and indemnification is made by the Seller Responsible Parties as provided herein. Any and all covenants and agreements relating to any action required by this Agreement to be taken after the Closing shall survive the Closing forever and shall not expire with, and be terminated and extinguished upon, the Closing.

8.5 Computation of Claims and Damages. Whenever an Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify and hold harmless an Indemnified Party from and against and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from, or to reimburse the Indemnified Party for, any item of Claim or Damage under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the provisions of this Article 8, pay the Indemnified Party the amount of the Claim or Damage reduced by (i) any amounts to which the Indemnified Party actually recovers from third parties in connection with such Claim or Damage (“Reimbursements”), and reduced by (ii) the Net Proceeds of any insurance policy payable to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Claim or Damage. For purposes of this Section 8.5, “Net Proceeds” shall mean the insurance proceeds actually paid,

less any deductibles, co-payments, premium increases, retroactive premiums or other payment obligations (including attorneys’ fees and other costs of collection) that relates to or arises from the making of the claim for indemnification. The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable efforts to pursue Reimbursements or Net Proceeds that may reduce or eliminate Claims and Damages and otherwise to mitigate Claims and Damages. If any Indemnified Party receives any Reimbursement or Net Proceeds after an indemnification payment is made which relates thereto, the Indemnified Party shall promptly repay to the Indemnifying Party such amount of the indemnification payment as would not have been paid had the Reimbursement or Net Proceeds reduced the original payment at such time or times as and to the extent that such Reimbursement or Net Proceeds is actually received. The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all pertinent records, materials and information, and provide reasonable access during normal business hours to the Indemnified Party’s employees, properties, books and records, and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives in reviewing the propriety and the amount of any Claims or Damages, including, without limitation, the availability and/or amounts of Reimbursements and Net Proceeds.

8.6 Notice of Claims. Upon obtaining actual knowledge of any Claim or Damage which has given rise to, or could reasonably give rise to, a claim for indemnification hereunder, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 30 days) following the date the Indemnified Party has obtained such knowledge, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) of such claim to the party or parties from which indemnification is or will be sought under this Article 8 (the “Indemnifying Party”). The Indemnified Party shall furnish to the Indemnifying Party in good faith and in reasonable detail such information as the Indemnified Party may have with respect to such indemnification claim (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on it and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same). No failure or delay by the Indemnified Party in the performance of the foregoing shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify and hold the Indemnified Party harmless, except to the extent that such failure or delay shall have materially adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against, settle or satisfy any liability, damage, loss, claim or demand for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

8.7 Defense of Third Party Claims. If any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim given by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.5 hereof is a claim asserted by a third party, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after the date that the Notice of Claim is given or deemed given by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s election to defend such third party claim on behalf of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its agents and representatives all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such third party claim. Regardless of which party is defending such third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such third party claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such third party claim, at the Indemnified Party’s own expense. In the event, however, that the Indemnified Party reasonably determines

that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest, then such Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel to represent or defend it in any such action or proceeding and the Indemnifying Party will, subject to the provisions of this Article 8, pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel when due under such counsel’s customary billing practices. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend such third party claim or does not defend such third party claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to defend such third party claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party’s defense of or its participation in the defense of any such third party claim shall not in any way diminish or lessen the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8. If the Indemnifying Party subsequently reasonably determines that the Indemnified Party is not defending such third party claim in good faith, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, to elect to assume the defense of such third party claim and, to the extent that the Indemnified Party has not defended such third party claim in good faith, and whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have subsequently assumed the defense thereof, the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 shall be reduced or eliminated to the extent that such failure to defend in good faith shall have materially adversely affected the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend against, settle or satisfy any liability, damage, loss, claim or demand for which such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder.

8.8 Right of Setoff. Once a claim for indemnification has been made under this Article 8, each Indemnified Party may, as one of its remedies to effect indemnification under this Article 8, withhold or cause to be withheld and setoff any amounts payable (under this Agreement or otherwise) following the Closing to the Indemnifying Party, including any amounts due under Promissory Note B. The right to setoff will be exercisable whether the claim for indemnification is liquidated or unliquidated, whether or not the claim for indemnification has been reduced to judgment, and regardless of any difficulty or uncertainty in determining or computing the ultimate amount of the indemnification claim. The exercise of a right of setoff in good faith, whether or not ultimately deemed to be justified, will not constitute a default of any obligation against which such setoff is made. Any amount withheld by an Indemnified Party in setoff and which is ultimately determined not to be payable by the Indemnifying Party will be promptly paid to the Indemnifying Party.

8.9 Claim Threshold. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8, an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to make a claim against an Indemnifying Party for indemnity pursuant to this Article 8 except to the extent that the aggregate amount of Claims and Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). Once such amount is exceeded, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification under this Article 8 for all of the Claims and Damages in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). In addition, the amount of Claims and Damages shall be offset by tax benefits received by the Buyer, insurance proceeds and any third party recoveries.

8.10 Sole Remedy. The parties agree that, notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the sole remedy of a party after Closing for any breach of any of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be to exercise the rights under this Article 8; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not limit a party’s rights to bring an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy nor shall it limit a party’s remedies (legal, equitable or otherwise) with respect to any claim for fraud or willful misconduct or a claim with respect to a post-Closing covenant or agreement.

10.3 Benefit and Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. There shall be no assignment of any interest under this Agreement by any party except that the Buyer may assign its rights hereunder to (a) any wholly owned subsidiary of the Buyer; provided, however, that no such assignment shall relieve the assignor of its obligations under this Agreement; and (b) its senior secured lender as additional collateral for the Buyer’s obligations under its lending agreements with such lender. 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.

10.4 Waiver. Any party to this Agreement may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of any other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of any other party contained herein or in any document delivered by any other party pursuant hereto or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of any other party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach or a subsequent waiver of the same term or condition, or a waiver of any other term or condition, of this Agreement. The failure of any party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any such rights.

10.5 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this

Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby 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 in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.6 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, the Seller Responsible Parties and the Buyer or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 10.4 hereof.

10.7 Effect and Construction of this Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to matters provided for herein. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual agreement, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to have been prepared by any single party hereto.

10.8 Headings. The headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference purposes only and in no respect define, limit or describe the scope of this Agreement or the intent of any section or subsection.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

10.10 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Florida, applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely within that State.

10.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with the Disclosure Schedules, Exhibits and all other agreements, instruments or documents to be delivered in connection with this Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, both written and oral, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

10.12 Specific Performance. Each of the Seller Responsible Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this Agreement, the Buyer would be irreparably and immediately harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto (i) waive, in any action for specific performance, the defense of adequacy of a remedy at law and (ii) shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to compel specific performance of this Agreement.

10.13 Remedies Cumulative. No remedy made available by any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy is cumulative and is in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.
