     2.5. Purchase Price Adjustment for Working Capital.

          (a) Preparation of Estimated Statement. No later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Representative shall provide to Buyer a statement (the “Estimated Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation the calculation of the Purchase Price, including calculations of the estimated amount of Closing Working Capital and a certificate of the Seller Representative certifying that the respective amounts have been calculated in accordance with this Agreement. The Sellers shall cause the Estimated Statement to be prepared in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement and otherwise applicable to the particular calculation, GAAP and the Company’s accounting practices as of August 31, 2010.

          (b) Closing Statement Preparation. Within 60 days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail and with reasonable supporting documentation its calculation of the Purchase Price, including the calculation of Working Capital at Closing. Buyer shall prepare the Closing Statement in accordance with this Agreement and, to the extent not inconsistent with this Agreement and otherwise applicable to the particular calculation, GAAP and the Company’s accounting practices as of August 31, 2010. Additionally, to the extent that during the 60-day period following Closing the Company collects Accounts Receivable which were outstanding for over 120 days as of the Closing and, therefore, not included in the calculation of Working Capital on the Estimated Statement, Buyer shall include any such collected amounts in its calculation of Working Capital on the Closing Statement.

          (c) Review of Closing Statement. After preparation of the Closing Statement, Buyer shall promptly deliver the Closing Statement to the Seller Representative for review. Buyer shall grant the Seller Representative and his or her authorized accounting and legal Representatives reasonable access to such work papers or other documents and information as they reasonably request relating to the calculation of each component of the Purchase Price, and Buyer shall make appropriate officers of the Company sufficiently available to assist the Seller Representative and respond to questions in connection with the Seller Representative’s review of the Closing Statement.

          (d) Notices of Disputes. The Seller Representative shall have a period of 20 days after the delivery of the Closing Statement by Buyer to give Buyer written notice of any dispute regarding the amounts reflected in the Closing Statement. If the Seller Representative

MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT — Page 12

EXECUTION VERSION

does not give Buyer written notice of a dispute within such 20 day period, the Closing Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by the Seller Representative on behalf of all of the Sellers in the form in which it was delivered, and shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto. Any written notice of a dispute regarding the Closing Statement shall set forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which the Seller Representative disagrees (a “Notice of Dispute”). During the 30 day period following the delivery of a Notice of Dispute, Buyer and the Seller Representative shall make reasonable good faith efforts to attempt to resolve such dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the disputed Closing Statement or to stipulate to such portion thereof with respect to which there is no dispute.

          (e) Dispute Resolution. If the parties cannot resolve or stipulate to all disputes relating to the Closing Statement within the 30 day period referenced above, the matters with respect to which no resolution or stipulation can be reached shall be submitted to and resolved by the independent accounting firm of Broussard, Poche, Lewis, and Breaux (the “Arbitrating Accountants”). Buyer and the Seller Representative shall each immediately enter into a customary engagement letter with the Arbitrating Accountants and shall instruct the Arbitrating Accountants that the written determination (which shall contain the underlying reasoning) of the Arbitrating Accountants with respect to such disputed items and the accuracy of the Closing Statement as a result of the resolution of such disputed items shall be completed and distributed to Buyer and the Seller Representative within 30 days after the engagement of the Arbitrating Accountants. The decision of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be final and binding on all parties and the Closing Statement as determined by the Arbitrating Accountants shall constitute the final and binding Closing Statement. The fees, expenses, and costs of the Arbitrating Accountants shall be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the dollar amount of disputed items lost by Buyer on the one hand, or the Seller Representative, on the other hand, bears to the total dollar amount in dispute that is resolved by the Arbitrating Accountants.

          (f) Purchase Price True-Up Payment. If the Purchase Price, as finally determined as provided in Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e), as applicable, is less than the Purchase Price as set forth in the Estimated Statement, then Buyer shall be entitled to immediately make a claim against the Escrow Deposit in the amount of any such deficiency. If the Purchase Price, as finally determined as provided in Section 2.5(d) or Section 2.5(e), as applicable, exceeds the Purchase Price as set forth in the Estimated Statement, then Buyer shall pay 43.1% of such excess to Diana Istre Francis and 56.9% of such excess to the Seller Representative by wire transfer of immediately available funds within two (2) business days after the final determination of the Purchase Price. If the amount of any sums due to Buyer under this Section 2.5(f) is in excess of the amount of the Escrow Deposit, Sellers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and pay Buyer the amount of such excess. Buyer, Diana Istre Francis and the Seller Representative hereby agree to promptly jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to make the disbursements required by this Section 2.5(f).

     2.6. Escrow Deposit. At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit a portion of the Purchase Price equal to ONE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,800,000) plus the Note and Michael Francis Escrow Stock (the “Escrow Deposit”) with the Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of

EXECUTION VERSION

the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Deposit will be used to satisfy liabilities from which Buyer is indemnified, that are caused by breaches by the Company or Sellers under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any breaches by the Company or Sellers of the representations therein. The Escrow Deposit shall be held and disbursed by the Escrow Agent as specified in and pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement.

     2.7. Seller Representative.

          (a) Each of Michael G. Francis, Mackey Francis and Bryan Francis (the “Appointing Sellers”) hereby constitutes and appoints Bryan Francis as his representative and true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact (in such capacity, the “Seller Representative”) with full power and authority in each of their names and on behalf of each of them:

          (ii) in general, to do all things and to perform all acts, including executing and delivering all agreements, certificates, receipts, instructions and other instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable, to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.7.

          (b) The foregoing appointment and grant of power and authority is coupled with an interest and is in consideration of the mutual covenants made herein and is irrevocable and shall not be terminated by any act of any Appointing Seller or by operation of law or by the occurrence of any other event. By the Seller Representative’s execution of this Agreement, the Seller Representative accepts such appointment and grant.

          (c) Each Appointing Seller consents to the taking by the Seller Representative of any and all actions and the making by the Seller Representative of any decisions required or permitted to be taken or made by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Section 2.7 and agrees that each such action or decision shall bind such Appointing Seller. Each Appointing Seller hereby authorizes and approves the execution and delivery of the Escrow Agreement by the Seller Representative on such Appointing Seller’s behalf and further acknowledges and agrees that, when so executed and delivered, such Appointing Seller shall be bound thereby as if such Seller had executed the Escrow Agreement directly.

          (f) Payments made to or as directed by the Seller Representative under the Escrow Agreement, are binding to the same extent as though such payments were made directly to the appropriate Appointing Sellers entitled to the same, as the case may be. Neither Buyer nor the Escrow Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any further delivery or application of any such payment, it being agreed by the Appointing Sellers that, on the terms set forth herein, (i) any payment the Escrow Agent is required to make under the Escrow Agreement may be made to or as directed by the Seller Representative on behalf of such Appointing Seller; (ii) the Appointing Sellers shall determine among themselves the amount due to each Appointing Seller from each payment made to or as directed by the Seller Representative hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement; and (iii) each Appointing Seller shall look solely to the Seller Representative for such Seller’s respective share of any payment made to or as directed by the Seller Representative hereunder or under the Escrow Agreement.

          (g) The Seller Representative or any successor thereto may appoint a successor Seller Representative (the “Successor Seller Representative”). To be effective, such appointment must be (i) written, (ii) signed by the outgoing Seller Representative or outgoing Successor Seller Representative as the Seller Representative hereunder, (iii) indicate such appointment, (iv) signed by the Successor Seller Representative to indicate its acceptance of such appointment and its agreement to be bound by the terms hereof pertaining to the “Seller Representative,” and (v) delivered to Buyer. Upon such an appointment of a Successor Seller Representative under this Agreement, such Successor Seller Representative will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the Seller Representative, and the Seller Representative shall be discharged from such predecessor Seller Representative’s duties and obligations under this Agreement.

          (h) Diana Istre Francis is not an Appointing Seller and shall not be represented by the Seller Representative.

          (a) The amount of each indemnity claim shall be determined only after giving credit for the amount of the net monetary benefit, including, without limitation, insurance coverage, any income tax or other tax benefit, and any other payments received by the indemnified party by reason of recompense, contribution, indemnification or subrogation from any third party, resulting from or attributable to, the event, occurrence, state of facts, actions or other circumstance causing or giving rise to any such indemnity claim. The forgoing shall be taken into consideration before applying the indemnity deductible set forth above in this paragraph.

          (b) Neither party shall be liable to the other for punitive or exemplary damages resulting from or arising out of this Agreement or any other documents referred to herein or relating hereto.

     9.7. Third-Party Claims.

          (a) Promptly after receipt by any Seller Indemnitee or Buyer Indemnitee entitled to indemnity under Section 9.2 or Section 9.3 (an “Indemnified Person”) of notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim against it, such Indemnified Person shall give notice to the Person obligated to indemnify under any such section (an “Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of such Third-Party Claim, provided that the failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person proves that the defense of such Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

          (b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 9.4(a) of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person, at its sole cost and expense, shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim and, to the extent that it wishes (unless (i) the Indemnifying Person is also a Person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Person fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of its financial capacity to defend such Third-Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect to such Third-Party Claim), to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. After notice from

EXECUTION VERSION

the Indemnifying Person to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article IX for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Third-Party Claim, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the assumption of defense by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person may, at its sole cost and expense, file any motion, answer or other pleadings that the Indemnified Person may deem necessary or appropriate to protect its interests or those of the Indemnifying Person and which is not prejudicial, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnifying Person, to the Indemnifying Person. If requested by the Indemnifying Person, the Indemnified Person agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Person and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of and elects to contest, or, if appropriate and related to the Third-Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third-Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates or, if the Indemnified Person is a Seller, any other Seller). The Indemnified Person may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third-Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Person pursuant to this Section 9.4(b), and except as specifically provided in this Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Person will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Person shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Person if (A) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by any such Indemnifying Person in connection with the defense of such Third-Party Claim, (B) the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Person, or (C) the Indemnified Person’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Person in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Person, that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel). If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a Third-Party Claim, (i) such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification, (ii) no compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s written consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any law, rule or regulation or any violation of the rights of any Person, (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person and (C) in the opinion of the Indemnified Person, there would not be any adverse effect on the business, operations, assets or financial condition of the Indemnified Person, and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim effected without its written consent.

          (c) If notice is given to an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, or if the Indemnifying Person gives such a notice but fails to prosecute diligently the defense of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnified Person will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, such Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings. In such event, the Indemnified Person will have full

EXECUTION VERSION

control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof, and the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made in such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Person agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person, to cooperate with the Indemnified Person and its counsel in contesting any Third-Party Claim which the Indemnified Person is contesting, or, if appropriate and related to the Third-Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third-Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person (other than the Indemnifying Person or any of its Affiliates or, if the Indemnifying Person is a Seller, any other Seller).

          (d) Each Party consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a proceeding in respect of a Third-Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on any Party with respect to such a claim anywhere in the world.

          (e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification under this Article IX, (i) both the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, shall keep the other Person fully informed of the status of such Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages thereof where such other Person is not represented by its own counsel, and (ii) the Parties agree (each at its own expense except as specifically provided in this Section 9.4 to render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim.

     9.8. Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be asserted by notice to the Party from whom indemnification is sought.

The amount of Taxes of the Company Group attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the Effective Time, provided that Extraordinary Costs and Expenses to be paid by any member of the Company Group as a consequence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be allocated to the Pre-Closing Tax Period for federal income tax purposes.

Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the Tax Benefit resulting from any such action shall be allocated among the Parties according to the principles of Section 10.1(c).

Francis (the “Non-Compete Period”), Michael G. Francis shall not, and shall not allow any of his Affiliates to, engage in, or be connected with any business, business operation, or activity (whether as an owner, partner, shareholder, member, joint venturer, operator, promoter, manager, employee, officer, director, consultant, advisor, independent contractor, agent, representative or otherwise), directly or indirectly, which consists in whole or in part of the Business within the geographical area the Business operates as of the Closing Date; provided, however, that ownership of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding stock of any publicly-traded corporation shall not be deemed to be engaging solely by reason thereof in any of its business. Michael G. Francis expressly acknowledges and agrees that each and every restriction imposed by this Section 11.1 is reasonable with respect to subject matter, time period and geographical area. To the extent that Michael G. Francis remains employed by the Company after the Closing, such employment shall not be deemed a violation of this Section 11.1(a).

          (i) Call upon, solicit or divert to a competitor, any customer whose account is serviced in whole or in part by Buyer or the Company Group or their respective Affiliates as of the Closing Date with the purpose of selling or attempting to sell to any such customer any services included within that offered by Buyer or the Company Group or their respective Affiliates as of the Closing Date; or

          (c) Confidentiality. Each of the Sellers shall treat and hold as confidential any information concerning the Business and affairs of the Company Group that is not already generally available to the public (the “Confidential Information”), refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly to Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in their possession or under their control. In the event that any Seller is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller shall notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.1(c).

          (d) Remedy for Breach. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event of a breach by such Seller (or any of such Seller’s Affiliates) of any of the provisions of this Section 11.1, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the Company Group, Buyer and/or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages; provided, however, that if a bond is required to be posted in order for Company Group, Buyer and/or their respective successors or assigns, to secure an injunction, then the Parties hereby stipulate that a bond in the amount of $1,000 will be sufficient and reasonable in all circumstances to protect the rights of the Parties.

          (e) Enforcement. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 11.1 is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or

MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT — Page 51

EXECUTION VERSION

(regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. In addition, each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that any Purchase Price adjustments as a result of the application of any provision of this Agreement or any other of the Transaction Documents do not prejudice or limit in any respect whatsoever any Party’s rights to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or pursuant to any other applicable requirements of law.

     12.10. Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement.

     12.11. Jurisdiction. Any dispute arising from or connected with this Agreement shall be resolved only by binding arbitration requested by a Party and brought in the state district court situated in Acadia Parish, Louisiana.

          (a) Arbitrable Matters. All disputes arising out of this Agreement, between or among the Parties to this Agreement, shall be submitted to arbitration at the behest of any Party. The arbitration proceeding shall be held in Acadia Parish, Louisiana and shall be conducted in accordance with the CPR Institute for Dispute Resolution (“CPR”) Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration of Business Disputes as here modified. The arbitration shall be conducted by a sole arbitrator (or an amicable compounder) acceptable to each Party, appointed from CPR’s roster of neutrals (the “Arbitrator”). Should the Parties not reach an agreement on a sole arbitrator (or an amicable compounder) or a Party refuse to participate in the arbitration within 15 days of

MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT — Page 52

EXECUTION VERSION

submission as specified below, then any Party may institute a proceeding to compel arbitration in the state district court situated in Acadia Parish, Louisiana. Each Party to the arbitration shall have the right to nominate one or more disinterested individuals from CPR’s roster of neutrals to serve as Arbitrator, and the court shall appoint one of the nominees to that office.

          (b) Submission to Arbitration. The Party submitting any matter arising out of this Agreement to arbitration (the “Demanding Party”) shall do so by delivering written notice thereof (the “Arbitration Notice”) to the other Party or Parties (the “Noticed Party”). In addition to indicating the Demanding Party’s intention to commence arbitration proceedings, the Arbitration Notice shall state the nature, with reasonable detail, of the dispute and the Demanding Party’s claim or claims, the question or questions to be submitted for decision or award by arbitration and the relief or remedy sought. A copy of the Arbitration Notice shall be concurrently provided by CPR, along with a copy of this Agreement. Either Party may bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any award or judgment granted by the Arbitrator, or to impose or enforce any injunctive relief to which a Party may be entitled.

          (c) Arbitration Procedures. The Arbitrator shall apply the substantive law, not the laws of conflict, (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of the State of Louisiana as applicable to the claim asserted, and the interpretation of this Agreement. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply. The Arbitrator shall have no authority to change this Agreement unless otherwise agreed by all Parties. The Arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. Any Party may be represented by an attorney or other representative selected by the Party.

The Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction to hear and rule on pre-hearing disputes and is authorized to hold pre-hearing conferences by telephone or in person as the Arbitrator deems necessary. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to entertain a motion to dismiss and/or a motion for summary judgment by any Party and shall apply the standards governing such motions under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

          (d) Compliance with Decisions. To the extent permissible under applicable law, the Parties agree that the award of the Arbitrator shall be final and binding and shall be subject only to the judicial review permitted by the United States Arbitration Act or other applicable arbitration law pursuant. All Parties to this Agreement shall abide by the Arbitrator’s decision. Furthermore, they agree that all resolutions through this arbitration shall be completed by arbitration and not by mediation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Arbitrator may not award punitive or exemplary (or anything similar) damages, and the Parties hereby irrevocable waive any claims to punitive or exemplary damages (or anything similar). Judgment over the arbitration award may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction over the Parties or their assets. It is the intent of the Parties that the arbitration provisions hereof be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

          (e) Obligation to Pay Costs. In either case, the losing Party shall pay all court costs, reasonable attorney fees, travel, lodging and any other costs in connection with any dispute.
