     (b) For purposes of this Section 2.9, “EBITDA” means for calendar year 2009 or calendar year 2010 the sum of (A) the net income or loss generated by the Company’s operations as they exist on the Effective Date and as they may grow or contract after the Effective Date in the normal course of business through internal growth and not through acquisitions or other extraordinary or non-recurring transactions (the “Existing Operations”), after deduction of all costs, expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and other proper charges (including without limitation (i) the cost of any bonuses or incentive payments earned with respect to the applicable period (excluding any Earn-Out Payment), (ii) the cost of any equity granted to employees (other than equity granted to the employees pursuant to the employment agreements to be entered into pursuant to Section 8.9 hereof), or other derivative securities granted during the applicable period, valued in accordance with the Black-Scholl model and amortized over the vesting period of any equity granted, (iii) the cost of capitalized leases, amortized over the lease term, calculated in accordance with GAAP and (iv) all interest and amortization with respect to the Company’s Indebtedness) plus (B) (i) total interest expense with respect to all outstanding Indebtedness of the Company, but only to the extent that such interest was deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, (ii) federal, state, or local income taxes and state franchise taxes to the extent calculated based upon net income and not revenue, in each case of income and franchise taxes attributable to the Existing Operations for such period and determined in accordance with GAAP, but only to the extent that such taxes were deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, (iii) all depreciation with respect to the Company’s assets, but only to the extent that such depreciation was deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, (iv) all amortization, but only to the extent that such amortization was deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss, and (v) any retention bonus

payments paid to employees of the Company pursuant to those retention bonus agreements set forth in Section 4.14(i) of the Sellers’ Disclosure Schedule to the extent that such bonuses were deducted in determining the Company’s net income or loss; provided that no deduction shall be made for overhead expenses of Buyer or its Affiliates other than for services and other expenses provided by Buyer and its Affiliates to the Existing Operations such as group insurance policies which cover the Existing Operations, legal, human resources, accounting or other services provided to the Existing Operations.
     (c) Except if there is a disagreement as described in subsection (e), Buyer will pay to Sellers the Earn-Out Payments with respect to 2009 and 2010, if any Earn-Out Payments are owed, no later than April 15th of the next succeeding year in cash in immediately available funds.
     (d) Sellers will be entitled to the Earn-Out Payments, if earned, whether or not the Sellers’ Representative remains employed by Buyer or the Company; provided that nothing in this Section 2.9 constitutes an agreement or understanding to employ the Sellers’ Representative for a term of years or otherwise to guarantee the Sellers’ Representative employment with Buyer or the Company.
     (e) On or prior to March 15th of 2010 and 2011, Buyer will calculate the Earn-Out Payment, if any, for the prior calendar year and provide the Sellers’ Representative with Buyer’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payment together with reasonable supporting documentation. For thirty (30) days following the delivery of the Earn-Out Payment calculation to the Sellers’ Representative (the “Earn-Out Review Period”), the Sellers’ Representative may review the Earn-Out Payment calculation and other documentation. The Sellers’ Representative must notify Buyer, in writing, of any disagreement with the Earn-Out Payment calculation or documentation and the basis for the disagreement no later than the end of the Earn-Out Review Period. If Sellers’ Representative does not notify Buyer of a disagreement by the end of the Earn-Out Review Period, the Earn-Out Payment calculation prepared by Buyer will be conclusive. If the Sellers’ Representative timely notifies Buyer of a disagreement regarding the Earn-Out calculation and the parties are unable, through good faith negotiation, to resolve the disagreement within thirty (30) days after the end of the Earn-Out Review Period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall submit the items in dispute to the Neutral Accountant (which shall act as experts and not as arbitrators) for resolution. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall instruct the Neutral Accountant to deliver its written determination to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative no later than 30 days after the dispute is referred to the Neutral Accountant. The Neutral Accountant’s determination shall be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative. In resolving any disputed item, the CPA Firm may not assign a value to the disputed item that is greater than the greatest value claimed by either party or less than the smallest value claimed by either party for the item. The fees and disbursements of the Neutral Accountant shall be borne (i) by the Sellers’ Representative in the proportion that

6


 

the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers’ Representative (as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items and (ii) by Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are successfully disputed by the Sellers’ Representative (as finally determined by the Neutral Accountant) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items. For example, if the parties dispute $1,000,000 of an Earn-Out Payment, the Neutral Accountant determines that $400,000 should be included in the Earn-Out Payment and $600,000 should be excluded and the Neutral Accountant’s fees are $50,000, then (i) the Sellers’ Representative shall pay $30,000 (60%) of such fees and (ii) Buyer shall pay $20,000 (40%) of such fees. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall make readily available to the Neutral Accountant all relevant books and records and any work papers (including those of the parties’ respective accountants, to the extent permitted by such accountants) relating to the determination of the Earn-Out Payment and all other items reasonably requested by the Neutral Accountant in connection therewith.
     (f) Following the Closing Date, Buyer will continue to operate the Company during the period for which the Sellers are entitled to Earn-Out Payments substantially as previously operated, subject to the business requirements of Buyer and its Affiliates taken as a whole. Buyer will be permitted, following the Closing Date, to make changes in its sole discretion to the operations, corporate organization, personnel, accounting practices, and other aspects of the Company and the Business so long as such changes are made in good faith, in the best interests of the Company, Buyer, and their respective Affiliates or to conform to standard practices applicable generally to Guarantor and its Affiliates, and not with the specific intent of reducing amounts that otherwise would be payable to Sellers.
     (g) No Earn-Out Payments will accrue or be payable for any time period commencing on the earliest date that the Sellers’ Representative violates any of the provisions of Sections 7.1 or 7.2.”

For purposes of clarity, if the Satisfaction Date has occurred at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Ninetieth Day and the Buyer has not set a prior date for Closing pursuant to clause (ii) set forth in the previous sentence, then all of the parties shall be obligated to Close on the Ninetieth Day and any party which has not carried out its obligations on such date shall be in breach of this Agreement. By agreement of the parties the Closing may take place by delivery of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered at the Closing by facsimile or other electronic transmission. Subject to the provisions of ARTICLE 10, failure to consummate the purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement on the date and time and at the place determined pursuant to this Section 3.1 will not result in the termination of this Agreement and will not relieve any party of any obligation under this Agreement.”
