AGREEMENT

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained herein, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1: PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. Subject to all the terms and conditions of this Purchase Agreement, and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, at the Closing each Shareholder shall sell, sign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from each Shareholder, all of the issued and outstanding Shares held by each Shareholder, such Shares representing all of the issued and outstanding Shares of the Company, free and clear of any and all Liens, for the consideration specified in this Purchase Agreement.

1.2 Purchase Price. In consideration of the sale, assignment and conveyance of all the Shares by the Shareholders to the Buyer at the Closing, the Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholders, in accordance with this Section 1, an aggregate amount of cash and Buyer common stock equal to $64 million, subject to an additional amount of up to $12 million in Earn-Out Payments, as set forth in Sections 1.5 and 1.6 herein, and the adjustments set forth in Section 1.4 and Section 7.6 (after giving effect to any such adjustment, the “Purchase Price”). All amounts paid in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds. All amounts paid in Buyer Common Stock (the “Stock Consideration”) shall be computed at a per share price equivalent to the average of the closing sales price on the New York Stock Exchange, or such other national securities exchange on which Buyer common stock may then be listed, for the ten trading days immediately preceding the issuance of the Stock Consideration shares, except for the shares issued at Closing which will be measured over the ten trading days prior to public announcement of this transaction. The Stock Consideration shall consist of unregistered securities bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section 3.19(h). In no event shall the Stock Consideration under this Purchase Agreement exceed 19.9% of the Buyer’s outstanding common stock at Closing. The elements of the Purchase Price are as follows:

1.2(a) up to $38 million of indebtedness of the Company, which shall include term loans, credit facilities, capital leases, MG Finance operating leases (based upon their payoff amount), and other obligations evidenced by notes, bonds, debentures, or any similar instruments which the Buyer in its discretion, provided by written notice no later than seven Business Days prior to Closing, will either (i) retain at the Company (the “Assumed Debt”), or (ii) pay off at Closing, as more fully set forth on Schedule 2.2(i)(ii) (the “Funded Debt”). Consistent with Section 1.2(c), the difference between $38 million and the sum of the Funded Debt and Assumed Debt will be paid to Shareholders at Closing in a combination of 70% Cash Consideration and 30% Stock Consideration. For purposes of this Section 1.2, Buyer acknowledges that prior to Closing the Company will make up to $5 million in capital expenditures and related borrowings (the “Permitted Borrowings”) in connection with the expansion of the Company’s operations in the Eagle Ford shale play and the Barnett shale play, which indebtedness will not be included in the sum of the Funded Debt and Assumed Debt, although Buyer acknowledges that this indebtedness will be on the books of the Company at Closing. If the Company’s indebtedness at Closing exceeds $38 million (net of the Permitted Borrowings), Shareholders shall immediately repay such amount as is necessary to reduce such indebtedness to $38 million and, if they fail to do so, Buyer may do so and reduce the cash component of the Purchase Price paid at Closing.

1.2(b) $5 million in Cash Consideration to pay off the note listed on Schedule 1.2(b) related to the redemption of certain shares of the Company’s common stock held by a related party (the “Related Party Debt”);

1.2(c) an amount payable to Shareholders at Closing (currently estimated to be approximately $21 million) in a combination of 70% Cash Consideration and 30% Stock Consideration, which shall be equal to $64 million less the amount of the Funded Debt, the Assumed Debt and the Related Party Debt; and

1.2(d) up to $12 million in Earn-Out Payments in a combination of 70% Cash Consideration and 30% Stock Consideration to the Shareholders, to be determined and paid in accordance with Sections 1.5 and 1.6 herein.

1.3 Key Person Compensation. The Buyer shall cause the Company to enter employment agreements, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with two key employees of the Company identified therein (“Key Person Compensation Agreements”), to be effective as of the Closing Date. The Key Person Compensation Agreements shall provide, among other matters, for the payment of $1 million in the aggregate to each of the key employees in the form of 70% cash and 30% Buyer common stock in equal installments at Closing (one-half) and January 1, 2012 (one-half). The second installment payment will be conditioned upon the continued employment of the respective key person through the end of the 2011 calendar year.

1.4 Minimum Shareholders’ Equity.

1.4(a) Post Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity Adjustment. As of Closing, the shareholders’ equity of the Company shall be $15,000,000, less the distribution to Shareholders for income taxes set forth in Section 5.1(d) and plus or minus the actual normal operating results of the Company occurring during the period of September 30, 2010 until Closing (the “Minimum Shareholders’ Equity”). For purposes of this Section 1.4, “normal operating results” shall mean the results from day-to-day activities of the Company occurring in the Ordinary Course of Business and of a similar nature to those occurred during the months of July and August 2010, all as determined in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles consistently applied with past practice (“GAAP”), and shall exclude, without limitation, expenditures arising from non-recurring or extraordinary items such as lawsuits, environmental issues or accidents. Shareholders will prepare in good faith, and deliver at Closing, an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP. The estimated Closing balance sheet shall, without limitation, reflect all income, expenditures, expenses or distributions, including those disclosed in Section 5.1(a)-(d), from September 30, 2010 to Closing. If the Closing shareholders’ equity determined pursuant to Section 1.4(b) below is more than $250,000 less than the Minimum Shareholders’ Equity, Shareholders will pay Buyer the amount of such difference in accordance with Section 1.4(b) (the “Shareholders’ Equity True-Up Amount”).

1.4(b) Determination of Post Closing Date Shareholders’ Equity Adjustment.

(i) Within 60 calendar days following the Closing Date, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver the following items to the Shareholders:

(a) a final balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) prepared in accordance with GAAP, which Closing Date Balance Sheet shall include the Buyer’s good faith determination of the Company’s Shareholders’ Equity, Funded Debt, Assumed Debt and Permitted Borrowings at Closing;

(b) the Buyer’s good faith determination of the Shareholders’ Equity True-Up Amount (which shall be adjusted for any error revealed in the Closing Date Balance Sheet with respect to the computation of the sum of the Funded Debt and Assumed Debt under Section 1.2(a)); and

(c) identification of the party to which the Shareholders’ Equity True-Up Amount should be paid.

(ii) The Shareholders, acting jointly, shall have 30 calendar days following receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet to review and analyze the Closing Date Balance Sheet and to notify the Buyer in writing of acceptance or dispute of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and amount of such dispute. If the Shareholders shall notify the Buyer of acceptance (or shall fail to notify the Buyer of either acceptance or dispute) by the Shareholders of the Closing Date Balance Sheet within such 30-day period, the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall constitute the “Final Closing Date Balance Sheet.” If the Shareholders shall so notify the Buyer of any dispute as to the Closing Date Balance Sheet within such 30-day period, the Buyer and the Shareholders shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible, and if the Buyer and the Shareholders are able to resolve such dispute (as evidenced by a written notice, attaching the agreed upon version of the Closing Date Balance Sheet as so acknowledged by each of the Buyer and the Shareholders) within 15 calendar days of the Shareholders’ delivery of the notice of such dispute as set forth in this Section 1.4(b)(ii) (the “Resolution Period”), then the Closing Date Balance Sheet, as so acknowledged, shall constitute the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. Payment of the Shareholders’ Equity True-Up Amount shall be paid to the appropriate Party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 15 calendar days after the determination of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet.

(iii) If the Parties cannot agree on the calculations of the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet within the Resolution Period, they shall within 15 days after the expiration of the Resolution Period mutually identify and hire a nationally recognized independent accounting firm (“Accounting Firm”) to act as arbitrator and to determine such calculations for the Parties. If the Buyer and the Shareholders are unable to agree on the Accounting Firm, then the Buyer and the Shareholders (acting jointly) shall each have the right to request the American Arbitration Association to appoint the Accounting Firm, which Accounting Firm shall not have had a material relationship with any of the Parties or any of their respective Affiliates within the immediately preceding five years. All fees and expenses incurred by the Accounting Firm in connection with the services it performs hereunder shall be borne as to one-half by the Buyer and as to one-half by the Shareholders. The Accounting Firm’s determination shall be requested to be made within 20 days of its selection and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Buyer and the Shareholders, attaching as an exhibit thereto the Closing Date Balance Sheet items reflecting such determination (the “Auditor’s Determination Statement”). The Auditor’s Determination Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Buyer and the Shareholders and shall constitute an arbitral award upon which a judgment may be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction. The Closing Date Balance Sheet attached to the Auditor’s Determination Statement shall constitute the Final Closing Date Balance Sheet. Payment of the Shareholders’ Equity True-Up Amount, as determined by the Auditor’s Determination Statement, shall be made to the appropriate party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within 15 calendar days after the delivery of the Auditor’s Determination Statement to the Parties.

1.4(c) Buyer and Shareholders will have the right to communicate with each other and, to the extent reasonably required, to review the work papers, books and records, schedules, memoranda and other documents prepared or reviewed by the applicable Party in preparing the items referenced in Sections 1.4(a) and 1.4(b).

1.5 Earn-Out. For each of the three fiscal years ending December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012, and December 31, 2013 (the “Annual Periods”) that the Company attains a minimum of $20 million of EBITDA (the “Performance Target”), the Shareholders will receive a supplemental Purchase Price payment of $2 million plus an amount equal to one-half of the amount of EBITDA exceeding $20 million for each Annual Period (each, an “Earn-Out Payment”). The maximum Earn-Out Payments

payable to Shareholders for all Annual Periods is $12 million in the aggregate. The Earn-Out Payments shall be paid in a combination of 70% cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds and 30% in shares of Buyer Common Stock. The specific number of shares of Buyer Common Stock to be included in each Earn-Out Payment shall be computed as the average of the closing sales price of the Buyer common stock on the New York Stock Exchange, or such other national securities exchange on which Buyer Common Stock may then be listed, for the ten trading days immediately prior to the issuance of the shares. Each Earn-Out Payment shall be paid within five Business Days after determination of the EBITDA calculation pursuant to Section 1.6 below in the year after each Annual Period in which the applicable Performance Target was met, subject to Section 7.6 herein.

1.6 Calculation of EBITDA.

1.6(a) Within 15 calendar days after Buyer’s audited financial statements are available for the Annual Periods, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders a schedule setting forth in reasonable detail the Company’s calculation of the EBITDA for the applicable period (each, an “EBITDA Calculation”), provided however, that the untimely provision of such statement shall not be deemed a material default hereunder. “EBITDA” shall mean earnings of the Company (and if positive, the earnings of Heckmann Water Resources Corporation and any other business in which the Buyer invests that is similar to the Business primarily within the states of Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas, which investments the Parties estimate in good faith will be greater than $18 million over the term of the Annual Periods, before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, after giving effect to the following:

(i) subtraction of reasonable costs of actual services or benefits provided to the Company by the Buyer or an affiliate, including without limitation, insurance, legal services, accounting services, information technology assistance, payroll administration, and similar services. In the event costs apply to multiple Buyer entities, Buyer will allocate such costs equitably after consultation with the Shareholders.

(ii) subtraction of all costs incurred to identify, recruit, hire, relocate and compensate (including without limitation all amounts of gross salary, incentive compensation, benefits and perquisites) any member of senior management that Buyer determines is necessary or appropriate (A) in light of the expected growth of the Company, to add to the Company, or (B) in the event that a Shareholder or other member of senior management ceases to be employed by the Company for any reason, to replace that person; provided, however, that the fully burdened cost of each such person shall be deemed not to exceed the greater of the fully burdened cost of the highest paid Shareholder and $250,000.

(iii) for purposes of computing EBITDA, until the Company achieves EBITDA of $20 million in any given Annual Period, the aggregate amount of the costs subtracted pursuant to items (i) and (ii) above will be deemed to be the lesser of (A)(x) in the case of (i), the reasonable costs in the aggregate for actual services or benefits provided by the Buyer, and (y) in the case of (ii), the deemed amount of the fully burdened cost for any senior management person added thereunder, and (B) the amount derived by multiplying total revenues for the applicable Annual Period by the ratio of such costs to the total revenues as reflected in the 2008 financial statements of the Company, as audited by Silva Gurtner & Abney, LLC.

(iv) Assumed Debt will not affect the cash flows of the Company, which cash flows are expected to be reinvested in the business during the earn-out period, and will not be used to repay Assumed Debt.

(v) A sample EBITDA Calculation is set forth on Schedule 1.6.

The Parties acknowledge and agree that nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or modify the fiduciary duties of the board of directors of the Buyer or the Company, and that any decisions regarding major investments or material uses of cash and cash flows are within the purview of such boards.

1.6(b) The Shareholders, acting jointly, shall have 30 calendar days following receipt of the EBITDA Calculation to review the EBITDA Calculation and to notify the Buyer in writing of acceptance or dispute of the EBITDA Calculation, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for and amount of such dispute. If the Shareholders shall notify the Buyer of acceptance (or shall fail to notify the Buyer of either acceptance or dispute) by the Shareholders of the EBITDA Calculation within such 30-day period, the EBITDA Calculation shall be binding and conclusive upon the Parties. If the Shareholders shall so notify the Buyer of any dispute as to the EBITDA Calculation within such 30-day period, the Buyer and the Shareholders shall cooperate in good faith to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible, and if the Buyer and the Shareholders are able to resolve such dispute (as evidenced by a written notice, attaching the agreed upon version of the EBITDA Calculation as so acknowledged by each of the Buyer and the Shareholders) within 15 calendar days of the Shareholders’ delivery of the notice of such dispute as set forth in this Section 1.6(b), then the EBITDA Calculation, as so acknowledged, shall constitute the final EBITDA Calculation. If the Buyer and the Shareholders cannot agree on the EBITDA Calculation during such 15 calendar day period, Buyer and Shareholders will follow the procedures for resolutions of disputes set forth in Section 1.4(b)(iii).

1.6(c) The Shareholders will have the right to communicate with Buyer and, to the extent reasonably required by the Shareholders to complete their review of the EBITDA Calculation, review the work papers, books and records, schedules, memoranda and other documents Buyer prepared or reviewed in preparing the EBITDA Calculation.

1.7 Withholding Taxes. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Purchase Agreement, Buyer and the Company shall have the right to deduct and withhold Taxes from any payments to be made hereunder if such withholding is required by applicable Law and to collect any necessary Tax forms, including Form W-9 from each Shareholder and any other recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Purchase Agreement as having been delivered and paid to the Shareholders or any such other recipient of payments in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

5.4 Confidentiality. Except to the extent required by law, and other than in connection with its and its advisors’ and representatives’ evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer shall not disclose or use, and shall direct all of its advisors, attorneys, accountants and representatives not to disclose or use to the detriment of any of the Selling Parties, any confidential information, whether marked “Confidential” or not, furnished by any of the Selling Parties or any of their respective representatives to Buyer or its advisors or representatives. Confidential information shall not include information in the public domain through no fault of Buyer or its affiliates and advisors, or otherwise lawfully obtained by Buyer from another source. Nothing herein shall constitute an agreement by Buyer that neither it nor any of its Affiliates is prohibited or limited from competing with the Selling Parties; provided, however, that, until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Purchase Agreement, Buyer agrees to refrain from sharing confidential information related to Company’s customers with employees of Heckmann Water Resources Corporation. Furthermore, for a period of one year from the date hereof, neither the Buyer nor the Shareholders, nor any Affiliates thereof, shall, directly or indirectly, (a) solicit, interfere with, or endeavor to cause any key employee of Buyer or Selling Parties, as the case may be, to leave his or her employment, or (b) induce or attempt to induce any such employee to breach her or his employment agreement with Buyer or Selling Parties, as the case may be, provided that nothing herein shall preclude any general advertisement of available positions. Except to the extent required by law, the Shareholders, and any of their successors, assigns, or Affiliates will not, without the prior written consent of Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, disclose any trade secret, intellectual property, customer list, or other confidential or other information about the Business to any other person or entity without the prior written authorization of the Buyer.

5.5 Disclosure; Announcement. The Parties may elect to make one or more announcements of the contemplated transactions described herein, in each case such announcement to be mutually coordinated by the Parties’ executive officers. Otherwise, except as required by law, without the prior written consent of the other Parties, no Party or its representatives shall make any public comment, statement or communication with respect to the status of the contemplated transactions, nor shall any Party otherwise disclose or permit the disclosure of the existence of discussions regarding the contemplated transactions or any other possible transaction among the Parties or any of the terms, conditions, or other aspects of the contemplated transactions described herein.

5.6 Transitional Matters. Without further consideration, Selling Parties shall take all such actions and execute all such documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effect an orderly transition of the ownership and operation of the Company. Without limitation of the foregoing, Selling Parties shall reasonably assist Buyer in notifying customers, suppliers, employees and other interested third parties, in

attaining all necessary consents to the transactions contemplated hereby and in making appropriate transfers of the Governmental Authorizations listed on Part 3.15(b), if necessary.

5.7 Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

5.7(a) For the Restricted Period, none of the Shareholders, nor any of their successors, assigns, or Affiliates will, without the prior written consent of Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, either alone or jointly with or on behalf of any Person, directly or indirectly, carry on or set up, or be employed or engaged as an employee, officer, director, consultant, agent or in any other capacity, lend money to, invest in or own any part of (except as a stockholder of not more than three percent of the shares of any company whose shares are publicly traded on a national securities exchange) a business that is carried on in competition with any part of the Business anywhere within the applicable Restricted Area.

5.7(b) “Restricted Area” shall mean:

(i) with respect to Louisiana, the parishes identified on Schedule 5.7(b);

(ii) with respect to Texas and Arkansas, the entire state thereof; and

(iii) with respect to any other state in which the Company does business or plans to do business as of Closing, the entire state thereof.

“Restricted Period” shall mean:

(iv) with respect to Louisiana, two years following completion of the sale hereunder. The parties acknowledge and agree that, for purposes of this covenant, the sale will be deemed to be concluded upon expiration of the last Earn-Out Annual Period;

(v) with respect to Texas and Arkansas, five years from the Closing; and

(vi) with respect to any other Restricted Area, five years from the Closing.

5.7(c) During the Restricted Period, unless then employed by Company or Buyer, as applicable, and acting lawfully within the scope of such employment for Company or Buyer, none of the Shareholders, nor any of their successors, assigns, or Affiliates will, without the prior written consent of Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, either alone or jointly with or on behalf of any Person, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit any customers of the Company conducting business with the Company in the Restricted Area, or (ii) solicit for employment, hire, or engage for services any Person employed or engaged within the Restricted area by the Company after the Closing (or that was so employed or engaged during the 6-month period prior to the anticipated hiring.)

5.7(d) The covenants contained in this Section 5.7 are intended to be separate and severable and enforceable as such, and to be enforceable to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. If any restriction contained in this Section 5.7 is for any reason held by a court or arbitration tribunal to be excessively broad as to duration, activity, geographical scope, or subject, then such restriction shall be construed, reformed or judicially modified, as necessary in such jurisdiction so as to thereafter be limited or reduced to the extent required to be enforceable in such jurisdiction in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. If any restriction in this Section 5.7 is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Legal Requirements in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision of this Section 5.7, but such restriction will be reformed, construed and enforced in such

jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable restriction had never been contained in this Section 5.7.

5.7(e) The Shareholders acknowledge that the remedy at law for their breach of this Section 5.7 will be inadequate, and that the damages flowing from such breach will not be readily susceptible to being measured in monetary terms. Accordingly, upon a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.7, Buyer will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief (or other equitable relief) and may obtain a temporary order restraining any breach or further breach. No bond or other security will be required to obtain such relief, and the Shareholders consent to the issuance of such equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 5.7(e) will be deemed to limit Buyer’s remedies at law or in equity that may be pursued or availed of by Buyer for any breach or threatened breach by any of the Shareholders of any part of this Section 5.7.

5.7(f) The parties agree that the covenants contained in this Section 5.7 are reasonable and are provided in exchange for reasonable and mutually agreed consideration under this Purchase Agreement. They further agree that the Business is highly competitive, the terms of this Section 5.7 are material to the willingness of Buyer and Selling Parties to enter into this Purchase Agreement, and the terms and conditions of this Section 5.7 are not more restrictive than is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer.

5.8 Release from Assumed Debt. Buyer will use reasonable commercial efforts to cause Creditors to release and discharge the Shareholders from any personal guarantees with respect to the Assumed Debt as of Closing and, if the Creditors are unwilling to do so, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Shareholders in respect of such guarantees.

5.9 Rule 144 Transactions.

5.9(a) At all times after the Effective Date, and subject to the holding period restriction set forth in Section 3.19(f), Buyer covenants that (i) it will, upon the request of any Shareholder, use its reasonable best efforts to, to the extent any Shareholder is relying on Rule 144 under the Securities Act to sell any of the Buyer common stock, make “current public information” available, as provided in Section (c) of Rule 144, and (ii) it will take such further action (which shall not include the furnishing of any legal opinions of counsel to the Buyer) as any Shareholder may reasonably request from time to time to enable such Shareholder to sell its Buyer Common Stock without registration under Rule 144 of the Securities Act or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC; provided that Buyer shall not be required to take any action described in this Section 5.9 that would cause Buyer to become or remain subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. From time to time, upon the request of any Shareholder, Buyer will deliver to such Shareholder a written statement as to whether it has complied with the requirements of Rule 144(c).

SECTION 6: TAX MATTERS

6.1 Tax Reporting.

6.1(a) Tax Returns; Tax Refunds.

(i) The Shareholders shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all income Tax Returns of the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date. The Shareholders or their representatives shall permit the Buyer to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence at least 10 days prior to filing and shall not file any such Tax Return without the written consent of the Buyer, which

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. The Shareholders shall be liable for Taxes of the Company (x) for any taxable years or periods that end on or prior to the Closing Date, and (y) with respect to any taxable period commencing before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) all Taxes of the Company attributable to the portion of the Straddle Period prior to and including the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”). For purposes of this Purchase Agreement, the portion of any Tax from a Straddle Period that is attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be (x) in the case of a Tax that is not based on net income, gross income, sales, premiums or gross receipts, the total amount of such Tax for the period in question multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such Straddle Period, and (y) in the case of a Tax that is based on any of net income, gross income, sales, premiums or gross receipts, the Tax that would be due with respect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period if such ended as of the end of day on the Closing Date. The Shareholders and their representatives shall not file or cause to be filed any amended Tax Return or claim for Tax refund for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date without the written consent of the Buyer, to the extent that such action would reasonably be expected to change the Tax liability of the Buyer or the Company for any Tax period after the Closing Date.

(ii) The Buyer shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, on a timely basis, all Tax Returns with respect to the Company which are due following the Closing Date, other than the Tax Returns described in Section 6.1(a)(i) above. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared, to the extent permitted by law, in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the Company unless otherwise required by applicable Law. At least 10 days prior to the filing of any Tax Return with respect to any Straddle Period, the Buyer shall submit copies of such Tax Returns, in draft form, to the Shareholders or their representatives, for written approval by the Shareholders, which approval shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned.

(iii) Each Shareholder shall be severally and jointly responsible for all Taxes, including, without limitation, all transfer, excise, stamp, sales, use, recording or similar taxes or fees arising out of the sale, assignment and conveyance of the Company Stock by such Shareholder.

6.1(b) Proceedings and Cooperation.

(i) The Buyer shall communicate with the Shareholders regarding the status of any proceedings (“Proceeding”) related to Taxes of the Company for any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and the portion attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The Shareholders shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of any Proceeding related to Tax matters for Pre-Closing Tax Periods; provided, however, that if any of the issues raised in such Proceeding could reasonably be expected to have an effect on the Tax liability of the Buyer or the Company for any taxable period beginning after the Closing Date, then the Shareholders shall not settle any such Proceeding with respect to such issues without the Buyer’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If the Shareholders have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Proceeding but elect in writing not to do so, then the Buyer shall have the right to control the conduct and resolution of such Proceeding, provided that the Buyer shall keep the Shareholders informed of all developments on a timely basis and the Buyer shall not resolve such Proceeding in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on the Shareholders without the advance written consent of the Shareholders, which shall be timely and shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(ii) The Buyer, the Company and the Shareholders shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the

retention and (upon any other party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return filing, audit, litigation or other Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Company and the Buyer agree (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Taxes pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent reasonably notified by the Shareholders, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any other party so requests, to allow such other party to take possession of such books and records.

(iii) The Buyer, the Company and the Shareholders further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including without limitation any Tax with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(iv) The Buyer, the Company and the Shareholders further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Section 6043 of the Code, and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

SECTION 7: INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Indemnity of Shareholders. The Shareholders agree, jointly and severally, to defend, indemnify and hold Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all damages, liabilities, losses, claims, diminution in value, obligations, liens, assessments, judgments, Taxes, fines, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of counsel), as the same are incurred, or any kind or nature whatsoever (whether or not arising out of third-party claims and including all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of the foregoing (collectively “Losses”) to which they or any of them become subject due to, or which results from, any of the following:

7.1(a) any breach or failure to satisfy any of the covenants, agreements, warranties or representations of any of the Shareholders contained in this Purchase Agreement.

7.1(b) any dispute relating to the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Shareholders and the Designated Affiliates.

7.1(c) any dispute or claim involving or made by any former owner of any of the Company or any Designated Affiliate;

7.1(d) any litigation, arbitration, mediation, action, or other proceeding disclosed (or that should have been disclosed) in Parts 3.11(e), 3.13(c), 3.13(f), 3.13(g), 3.14, 3.15, or 3.16 of the Disclosure Schedule, or any litigation or other similar matter that arises after the Closing relating to activities or operations prior to or on the Closing; and

7.1(e) any activity that gives rise to indemnification above that continues after the Closing, such as a violation of Law, until Buyer has received notice of the matter.

7.2 Buyer’s Indemnity. Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold the Shareholders and their respective Affiliates, stockholders or other equity holders, directors, managers, officers, employees and agents harmless from and against any and all Losses to which they or any of them become subject

due to, or which results from, any breach or failure to satisfy any of the covenants, agreements, warranties or representations of Buyer contained in this Purchase Agreement.

7.3 Procedure for Indemnification. The party that is entitled to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) by the party required to indemnify hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall follow the procedures set forth below.

7.3(a) The Indemnified Party will promptly give notice hereunder to the Indemnifying Party after obtaining notice of any claim as to which recovery may be sought against the Indemnifying Party. However, the right to indemnification hereunder will not be affected by any delay in or failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice, unless, and then only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnifying Party will have been prejudiced as a result of the failure to give, or delay in giving, notice.

7.3(b) If the indemnity claim arises from the claim of a third-party who is not then doing business with the Buyer, the Indemnified Party will permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim and any litigation resulting from such claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election to defend any such claim or action by a third party with respect to which it has the option to defend within 30 days after the Indemnifying Party receives notice of such claim or action, then the Indemnifying Party will be deemed to have waived its right to defend such claim or action. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a third-party claim, the obligations of the Indemnifying Party as to such claim will include taking all steps necessary in the defense or settlement of such claim or litigation and holding the Indemnified Party harmless from and against any and all damages caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment in connection with such claim or litigation. The Indemnifying Party shall not, in the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, consent to entry of any judgment (other than a judgment of dismissal on the merits without costs) except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party, or enter into any settlement (except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party) which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation. The non-defending party may, with counsel of its choice and at its expense, participate in the defense of any such claim or litigation.

7.3(c) Subject to Section 7.5, the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation in such manner as it deems appropriate. Unless the Indemnifying Party deposits with the Indemnified Party a sum equivalent to the total amount demanded in such claim or litigation plus the Indemnified Party’s estimate of the costs of defending the same, the Indemnified Party may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as it may deem appropriate and the Indemnifying Party will promptly pay or reimburse the Indemnified Party for all expenses in defending any claim, for the amount of any settlement, and for all damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such claim or litigation.

7.4 Buyer Indemnity Threshold; Indemnity Limits.

7.4(a) Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to seek indemnification under Section 7.1 until such time as the aggregate indemnifiable Losses thereunder exceeds $250,000 (it being agreed that in the event such basket is reached and exceeded, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover only the aggregate amount of Losses exceeding such threshold amount), provided that Losses arising under Section 7.1(d) shall be indemnified from dollar one. In light of the foregoing “basket,” until the “basket” threshold has been reached , any qualifications in representations, warranties, covenants and agreements, relating to materiality, Material Adverse Change, or (other than with respect to

Knowledge of “threatened” litigation) Knowledge or the like will be disregarded, and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be deemed to exclude these qualifications.

7.4(b) In no event shall the Shareholders’ indemnity obligations under this Purchase Agreement exceed the total amount of Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration received by Shareholders; provided, however, that this “cap” will not apply to Losses arising from fraud or intentional material misstatements or omissions.

7.4(c) For clarity, any adjustments to Purchase Price in Section 1.4, and any adjustments to Closing payments relating to Sections 1.2(a) or 1.2(b), shall not be subject to the indemnity thresholds or limits set forth in Section 7.4.

7.5 Control of Claims and Remedial Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any liability or condition for which Buyer may seek indemnification hereunder requires the performance of any investigatory, reclamation or remedial work, or in the event that any claim relates to a Person with whom Buyer maintains an ongoing relationship, then Buyer shall conduct and control the work or defense of the claim, as the case may be, at the expense of the Shareholders and the Designated Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns, subject to their consent to any monetary settlement in excess of $100,000 pertaining thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

7.6 Escrow and Offset Rights.

7.6(a) At Closing, certificates representing the Buyer common stock issued under Section 1.2(c) shall be deposited into escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement attached as Exhibit D, and held for the longer of one year from Closing, or the resolution of any claims for indemnification made by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1. In the event no claims are made during the one year period beginning on Closing, the certificates will be released to the Shareholders and the legends referenced in Section 3.19(h) shall be removed. If claims have been made, then all or a portion of the certificates representing Buyer common stock shall be held in escrow to secure claims made, pending resolution pursuant to Article 7, as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

7.6(b) Subject to Section 7.3, Buyer may offset against any Earn-Out Payments otherwise due in accordance with Section 1.5 to satisfy any of Shareholders’ indemnity obligations.

7.6(c) Any Buyer common stock held in escrow and made subject to an indemnity claim or retained as an offset pursuant to this Section 7.6 shall be valued at the average of the last sales price on the New York Stock Exchange, or such other national securities exchange on which Buyer common stock may then be listed, for the last ten trading days immediately prior to the date on which the claim is resolved. Buyer will notify the affected Shareholder by written notice in advance of any offset.

7.7 Equitable Remedies; Exclusive Remedies at Law.

7.7(a) Each party acknowledges that its rights under this Purchase Agreement are special, unique and of an extraordinary character and that such party could not be adequately compensated by money damages for a breach of the provisions of this Purchase Agreement by the other party. In the event this Purchase Agreement is breached, the other party shall be entitled to an injunction restraining such breach (or any threatened breach) and to specific performance of any provision of this Purchase Agreement, without bond or other security therefore, in addition to any other right or remedy available to such party.

7.7(b) Following the Closing, the indemnification provisions of this Section 7 shall be the exclusive remedies at law of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Shareholders, on the other hand, for any Losses in respect of breaches of representations and warranties under this Purchase Agreement, except in the case of any fraudulent or illegal acts or statements or the willful misconduct or active concealment of any Party hereto.

7.8 Calculation of Losses; Insurance. Any amounts payable under Section 7 shall be calculated after giving effect to (i) any proceeds actually received from insurance policies covering the Losses that are the subject of the claim for indemnity (net of any increase in premiums) and (ii) any proceeds received from third parties, including through indemnification, counterclaim, reimbursement arrangement, contract or otherwise in compensation for the subject matter of an indemnification claim by such indemnitee. In no event shall Buyer or Selling Parties grant any rights of subrogation to an insurer that issued a policy covering Losses identifiable hereunder.

8.1(d) by Buyer, if any Selling Party breaches its obligations under Section 5.2;

8.1(e) by Buyer, following a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of any Selling Party set forth in this Purchase Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.2 not to be satisfied, and (ii) if curable, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of twenty (20) days following receipt of notice by the Selling Parties from Buyer of such breach or failure to perform or the Outside Date, whichever occurs earlier;

8.1(f) by any of the Selling Parties, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Purchase Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (i) would cause the conditions set forth in Section 2.3 not to be satisfied, and (ii) if curable, shall not have been cured prior to the earlier of twenty (20) days

To the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements, (i) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (ii) no notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Purchase Agreement or the documents referred to in this Purchase Agreement.
