(b) At the Effective Time, Premier shall pay to the holders of GHH Common Shares (such holders, individually, a “GHH Stockholder,” and collectively, the “GHH Stockholders”), the Merger Consideration, less the Escrow Shares.  At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger, and without further action by any Person or entity, (i) the issued and outstanding shares of GHH Common Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Premier Common Stock equivalent to forty (40%) percent of the issued and outstanding Premier Common Stock, on a fully diluted basis after taking into account the Closing of this Agreement, subject to adjustment resulting from the conversion of the GHH Convertible Note and GHH Closing Debt as provided herein, and excluding from this calculation all options and warrants to purchase capital stock of Premier and GHH.
 
(c) In order to secure GHH’s obligations to indemnify Premier pursuant to Article 8 below, at the Closing, GHH shall deliver the Escrow Shares, duly endorsed in blank for transfer, to Ruskin Moscou Faltischek, P.C., as “Escrow Agent,” who shall hold the Escrow Shares pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement being entered into simultaneously herewith (the “Escrow Agreement”).  The Escrow Agreement will provide, among other things, as follows:

(iii) By way of example, and for illustration purposes only, (A) if the Closing occurs as of January 31, 2012, and the first full calendar quarter for escrow purposes ends as of June 30, 2012, and (B) GHH Revenue equals Fifteen Million ($15,000,000) Dollars, then one-sixth of the Merger Shares will be accrued because the GHH unit will have achieved one-sixth of the difference between the Revenue Floor (i.e., $12,000,000) and the Revenue Target ($30,000,000).

Section 1.7 Exchange of Shares.
 
(a) Following the merger, each GHH Stockholder shall receive a transmitted letter from Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Exchange Agent”).  The transmittal letter will request that GHH Stockholders transmit to the Exchange Agent their stock certificates in order to receive new Premier Common Stock certificates or have the same delivered to the Escrow Agent, as the case may be.  If a former GHH Stockholder cannot locate its stock certificates, the transmittal letter will indicate the procedure to be followed by such GHH Stockholder, including an affidavit and a payment to insure the missing GHH stock certificates.
 
(b) Upon filing of the Certificate of Merger, Merger Sub will be merged with and into GHH, the outstanding shares of GHH Common Stock will be cancelled and in place thereof, the GHH Stockholders will receive shares of Premier Common Stock.  Premier will receive one hundred (100) newly issued shares of GHH and GHH will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Premier. The GHH Stockholders will receive the Merger Shares.  The number of Merger Shares divided by the outstanding GHH Common Stock at the Effective Time is referred to as the “Exchange Ratio.”
 
(c)       Prior to the Effective Time, each outstanding option or warrant which can be exercised for GHH Common Shares and set forth on Schedule 1.7(c) of the GHH Disclosure Schedule (collectively, the “GHH Options and Warrants”) shall be cancelled and replaced with Premier options and warrants, adjusted for the merger based on the Exchange Ratio, in the form to be provided by Premier prior to Closing.
 
Section 1.8 Lost Certificates.  If any GHH Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and an indemnity by such Person against any claim that may be made against Premier with respect to such Certificate, Premier will deliver, in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the applicable Merger Shares with respect to the GHH Common Stock formerly represented thereby and any unpaid dividends and other distributions deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.

With respect to any matter for which indemnification is claimed pursuant to this Article, the indemnified person(s) will notify the indemnifying party in writing promptly after becoming aware of such matter. A failure or delay to promptly notify an indemnifying person of a Claim will only relieve such person of its obligation pursuant to this Article 8 to the extent, if at all, that such person is prejudiced by reason of such failure or delay.
 
(b) Defense of Claim.  Promptly after receipt of any notice pursuant to Section 8.4(a), the indemnifying person(s) shall defend, contest, settle, compromise or otherwise protect the indemnified person(s) against any such Claim at its (their) own cost and expense.  Each indemnified person will have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own expense, in the defense by counsel of its own choosing; provided, however, that the indemnifying person will be entitled to control the defense unless the indemnified person has relieved the indemnifying person in writing from liability with respect to the particular matter.  The indemnified person shall reasonably cooperate with the indemnifying person’s requests, and at the indemnifying person’s expense (including, but not limited to, indemnifying person’s paying or reimbursing the indemnified person’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), concerning the defense of the Claim.  The indemnifying party shall include the indemnified party in any settlement discussions.
 
 
35

 
 
(c) Failure to Defend.  If the indemnifying person does not timely defend, contest or otherwise protect against a Claim after receipt of the required notice, the indemnified person will have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same, make any compromise or settlement thereof, and recover the entire cost thereof from the indemnifying person, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation and Claim.
 
Section 8.5            Limits on Indemnification.
 
(a) In the event that Premier and/or Merger Sub are required to indemnify GHH hereunder, such indemnification obligation shall be satisfied solely by the issuance of additional shares of Premier Common Stock, such that the number of shares of Premier Common Stock multiplied by the Merger Share Value shall equal the dollar amount of the indemnification obligation; provided that the total number of shares do not exceed the accrued Merger Shares then held in escrow.
 
(b) In the event that GHH is required to indemnify Premier and/or Merger Sub hereunder, such indemnification obligation shall be satisfied by the surrender of unaccrued Merger Shares and/or accrued Merger Shares which would otherwise have been released to GHH Escrowees pursuant to the Escrow Agreement; provided, that the number of shares of Premier Common Stock multiplied by the Merger Share Value shall equal the dollar amount of the indemnification obligation; provided, however, in the event of fraud, willful malfeasance or gross negligence by GHH, or any officer, director, representative, affiliate or Subsidiary, no such limitation on indemnification shall apply.
