ARTICLE 2

SALE OF ASSETS; CLOSING

     Section 2.1. Sale of Assets. At the Closing, Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Liens (except Permitted Liens), good and marketable title to all of the Purchased Assets. It is intended that the consummation of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets will transfer the Business to Buyer as a going concern with all of the assets, properties and rights used in or required for the operation and conduct of the Business as of the Closing Date.

     Section 2.2. Consideration. The Purchase Price shall be Two Million Four Hundred Nine Thousand Five Hundred Seventeen Dollars and Two Cents ($2,409,517.02), subject to the adjustments set forth in this Agreement, including without limitation in Sections 2.3 and 2.4 hereof. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price by delivery in the following manner:

     (a) $1,959,517.02 in cash by wire transfer at Closing to Sellers, provided that Buyer may require that a portion of such amount be paid directly to holders of Liens who are to be paid off by Sellers at Closing; and

     (b) $450,000 (the “Escrow Funds”) in cash by wire transfer at Closing to U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), to be held under an escrow agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), said Escrow Funds to be paid to Sellers on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date in accordance with the Escrow Agreement but subject to the terms and conditions described in this Agreement, including, without limitation, in Sections 2.3, 2.4 and 6.7 hereof.

     Section 2.3. Net Current Assets Adjustment to Purchase Price.

     (a) Estimated Net Current Assets. Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare, or cause to have prepared, and deliver to Sellers a balance sheet of the Business (the “Final Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the Net Current Assets of the Business as of the Closing Date. As prepared by Buyer, this statement of the Net Current Assets shall be referred to as the “Estimated Net Current Assets.” The Estimated Net Current Assets shall be prepared using substantially the same principles and methodologies used by Sellers in the preparation of the Financial Statements.

     (b) Objection. The Estimated Net Current Assets shall be deemed accepted by Sellers and binding unless Sellers send Buyer a written objection thereto within thirty (30) days following Sellers’ receipt thereof. In the event that Sellers deliver a timely written objection as aforesaid, and Buyer and Sellers are unable to resolve such objection within thirty (30) days after Buyer is notified of Sellers’ objection, the matters in dispute shall be submitted for final and binding determination to a firm of independent certified public accountants of national recognition and standing jointly selected by Buyer and Sellers (the “Accountants”). The Accountants shall prepare their resolution statement within forty-five (45) days of appointment. In the event that the parties cannot agree on the identity of the Accountants, the firm to be used shall be selected by lot from among the “Big 4” accounting firms having offices in the Hartford, Connecticut area, other than those firms which have had a material relationship with Buyer or Sellers. The Estimated Net Current Assets proposed by Buyer, as adjusted by agreement of Sellers and Buyer or finally determined by the Accountants, as applicable, to reflect the resolution of any timely objections made thereto by Sellers in accordance with this paragraph, shall constitute the “Final Net Current Assets” and shall be binding on the parties hereto. Buyer and Sellers shall each pay their own expenses of preparing and analyzing the Estimated Net Current Assets and resolving objections thereto. The fees and expenses of the Accountants used to resolve objections will be borne equally by Buyer and Sellers.

     (c) Access to Information. Solely in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Net Current Assets and the Final Net Current Assets:

     (i) Buyer shall give Sellers and their accountants reasonable access to the books and records of the Business, and shall cause employees of the Business to cooperate with them and provide them with all information reasonably requested, all after receiving reasonable notice from them of their requirements and reaching agreement as to mutually convenient times for review; and

     (ii) Buyer and the Seller Parties, to the extent within their respective control, shall give to each other and their agents access to the books, financial records, work papers and other materials and documents used or produced in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Net Current Assets and the Final Net Current Assets.

     (d) Final Net Current Assets. In the event that the Final Net Current Assets are less than Two Hundred Eighteen Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Nine and 79/100 Dollars ($218,829.79) (the difference is referred to as a “Reduction in Net Current Assets”), the Seller Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for such difference as a reduction in the cash portion of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall be entitled to set-off the amount of such Reduction in Net Current Assets from the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 6.7 of this Agreement, and, to the extent the Reduction in Net Current Assets exceeds the amount of the Escrow Funds then available under the Escrow Agreement, the Seller Parties shall pay the difference to Buyer within (10) days after receipt of written demand therefor. In the event that the Final Net Current Assets are greater than Two Hundred Eighteen Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Nine and 79/100 Dollars ($218,829.79) (the excess is referred to as an “Excess in Net Current Assets”), the Purchase Price shall be increased by such difference. Buyer shall pay to Seller by wire transfer an amount equal to the Excess in Net Current Assets within ten (10) days following the determination of Final Net Current Assets.

     Section 2.4. Accounts Receivable Adjustment to Purchase Price.

     (a) Receivable Shortfall. Buyer and the Seller Parties agree that the Purchase Price payable to Sellers shall be reduced to the extent that the Accounts Receivable have not been collected by Buyer within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date (the “Collection Period”).

     (b) Adjustment to Purchase Price. Within sixty (60) days following the end of the Collection Period, Buyer shall prepare and furnish to Sellers a statement setting forth the Accounts Receivable and all payments made thereon, calculated as of the end of the Collection Period, and the amount, if any, owing from the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 2.4(a) (a “Receivable Shortfall”). The Seller Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for the Receivable Shortfall. Buyer shall set-off the Receivable Shortfall from the Escrow Funds in accordance with Section 6.7 and, to the extent the amount of the Receivable Shortfall exceeds the amount of the Escrow Funds then available under the Escrow Agreement, the Seller Parties shall pay the difference to Buyer within (10) days after receipt of written demand therefor. Upon payment of the Receivable Shortfall, Buyer shall assign to Seller those Accounts Receivable which were uncollected at the end of the Collection Period.

     (c) Collection of Accounts Receivable. Between the Closing Date and the end of the Collection Period, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts consistent with its usual and customary collection practices to collect the Accounts Receivable, provided that Buyer shall not be obligated to resort to litigation.

     Section 2.5. Buyer’s Assumption of Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in further consideration of the transfer of the

Purchased Assets, at the Closing Buyer shall assume only those duties, liabilities or obligations of Sellers included in the Assumed Liabilities.

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER PARTIES

     The Seller Parties hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to Buyer as follows:

     Section 3.1. Organization and Power. Each Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Nevada. Sellers have full power and authority to own their properties and conduct the business presently being conducted by them. Each Trust is a duly established trust and is validly subsisting, Lewis is the sole trustee of each Trust, and as trustee, Lewis has all the necessary power, authority and capacity to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on behalf of the Trusts. Each Seller Party each has full legal power, authority and capacity to execute this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 3.2. Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Sellers have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of their managers and members. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each of the Seller Parties and is enforceable against each of the Seller Parties in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.

     Section 3.3. No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement do not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the terms hereof will not (a) violate any law, judgment, order, decree statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to any Seller Party, or any permit, license or approval of any Governmental Entity, (b) conflict with any provision of either Seller’s articles of organization (or equivalent) or operating agreement, (c) conflict with any Trust’s declaration or agreement of trust (or equivalent instrument), (d) result in any violation of, and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of any terms of, or constitute a default under, any mortgage, license, instrument or agreement to which any Seller Party is a party or by which any Seller Party or any of the Purchased Assets is bound or create any Lien upon any of the Purchased Assets, or (e) except as set forth on Schedule 3.3, require any notice to, or consent, approval, order or authorization of, or the registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other Person.

     Section 3.4. Title to Purchased Assets. (a) Sellers have good, valid and marketable title to all of the Purchased Assets, free and clear of all Liens, except those Liens set forth on Schedule 3.4 (“Permitted Liens”). No other party has any rights or claims to possession of any of the Purchased Assets. None of the Purchased Assets are subject to any option, contract, arrangement or understanding that would restrict Sellers’ ability to transfer the Purchased Assets to Buyer as contemplated herein. The Purchased Assets constitute all assets, rights and properties used by Sellers to operate, or necessary to operate the Business as operated by Sellers prior to Closing. No Related Person (including, without limitation, the Trusts or Lewis) owns, leases or licenses assets, properties or other rights used in the conduct of the Business. All employees engaged in conducting the Business are employees of Sellers.

     (b) Without limiting the generality of Section 3.4(a), Omega Systems of North America Inc. and Tri-Core Systems Inc. (together, the “Predecessor Corporations”) were initially formed by Lewis to engage in the Business, were owned by the parties and in the percentages set forth on Schedule 3.4(b) and engaged in the Business until Lewis determined to operate instead through limited liability companies, whereupon all of the assets and properties of such entities were fully and properly transferred and assigned to Sellers, such that Sellers legally and properly succeeded to all of the assets, properties, rights and business of the Predecessor Corporations. The names listed on Schedule 3.4(b) have been incorrectly used from time to time in documents, records and other contexts to refer the Predecessor Corporations, Sellers or the Trusts, but no entities having such names in fact ever existed.

     Section 3.5. Condition of Purchased Assets. As of the Closing, all of the tangible property included in the Purchased Assets is in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in the state of maintenance, repair and operating condition required for the proper operation and use thereof immediately prior to Closing in the ordinary and usual course of business by Sellers.

     Section 3.6. Financial Statements. Sellers have delivered to Buyer financial information respecting Sellers (the “Financial Statements”), as follows: (i) the Reference Date Balance Sheet, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 3.6; (ii) unaudited, consolidated profit and loss statements of Sellers for the year ended as of the Reference Date; (iii) unaudited, consolidated balance sheet for Sellers as of June 30, 2004; and (iv) unaudited, consolidated profit and loss statements for Sellers for the 6 months ended June 30, 2004. The Financial Statements were prepared by Sellers in accordance with Sellers’ past practices and consistently applied methodologies and fairly present the financial position and results of operations of Sellers for the periods then ended and the financial position of Sellers at the dates thereof, all on a cash basis. Sellers’ books of account are and, during the periods covered by the Financial Statements were, correct and complete in all material respects, fairly and accurately reflect or reflected the income, expenses, assets and liabilities of Sellers, including the nature thereof and the transactions giving rise thereto (where applicable, on a cash basis), and provide or provided a fair and accurate basis for the preparation of the Financial Statements.

     Section 3.7. Accounts Receivable; Credits. The Accounts Receivable recorded on the books of Sellers are bona fide and good, and are collectible in the amounts shown on the books of account of Sellers. No Account Receivable has been released by Sellers, in whole or in part, so as to reduce its value. There are no outstanding customer credits or allowances (including allowances for bad debts) which have been authorized by Sellers prior to the Closing Date.

     Section 3.8. Pre-Bill. Sellers have not pre-billed or received prepayment for products to be sold, services to be rendered, or expenses to be incurred subsequent to the Closing Date, except in the ordinary course of business and consistent with Sellers’ prior practices.

     Section 3.9. Litigation. There is no suit, action or proceeding pending against or affecting the Seller Parties or the employees of Sellers relating to the Business, the Purchased Assets, or the transactions contemplated hereby, nor is there any such suit, action or proceeding

threatened against any Seller Party or any of the employees of Sellers. Sellers and the Business are not subject to any order of a Governmental Entity.

     Section 3.10. Compliance with Law. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.10, Sellers have all necessary licenses, permits and other approvals of Governmental Entities necessary to operate the Business as now conducted, each of which is in good standing, and Sellers have conducted the Business and properly filed all necessary reports in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

     Section 3.11. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Sellers do not have any liabilities or obligations, either accrued, contingent or otherwise, which are not reflected in (i) the Reference Date Balance Sheet or (ii) this Agreement or the Schedules hereto, except as have been incurred in the ordinary course of business since the Reference Date.

     Section 3.12. Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Reference Date, neither Sellers nor the Business have or will have as of the Closing:

     (a) suffered any adverse change in its financial condition, assets, liabilities, net worth or business from that shown on the Reference Date Balance Sheet that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had a Material Adverse Effect;

     (b) suffered any damage, destruction or loss, whether or not covered by insurance, adversely affecting their properties or the Business;

     (i) entered or agreed to enter into any agreement or arrangement granting any preferential rights to purchase a material part of its assets, property or rights;

     (j) placed any orders for materials, merchandise or supplies in exceptional or unusual quantities based upon past operating practices or accepted orders from customers under

conditions relating to price, terms or payment, time or delivery, or like matters materially different from the conditions regularly and usually specified on acceptance of orders for similar merchandise from customers similarly situated;

     (k) made any change in the accounting practices or methods followed by them;

     (l) engaged in any restructuring or changed their constitutive documents; or

     (m) entered into any other transaction, or been involved in any event or experienced any condition of any character, that, either individually or in the aggregate, has had a Material Adverse Effect on Sellers, any of the Purchased Assets or the Business.

     Section 3.13. Contracts. Schedule 3.13 lists all of the contracts, leases, arrangements and understandings including, without limitation, sales orders, purchase orders and distribution agreements, which relate to the Business as it is conducted by Sellers, other than the Proprietary Agreements (which are listed on Schedule 3.14) (the “Contracts”), each of which was entered into, arrived at or conducted on behalf of Sellers with appropriate authority and in accordance with Sellers’ customary practices. Neither Sellers nor, to the Seller Parties’ knowledge, the other parties to such Contracts, arrangements and understandings are in default thereof and all Contracts are valid and in effect. No customer, supplier or vendor of Sellers has given any notice or made any threat or otherwise revealed an intent to cancel or otherwise terminate its relationship with Sellers, to materially and adversely change the relationship, to substantially reduce the volume of business it currently does with Sellers or to refuse to renew any Contract when it expires.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

     Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Sellers, as of the Closing Date, as follows:

     Section 4.1. Organization and Power of Buyer. Buyer is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has full corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct the business presently being conducted by it, to execute this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     Section 4.2. Authorization; Shares Duly Issued. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Buyer have been duly authorized and approved by all requisite action on the part of Buyer, and this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding

obligation of Buyer and is enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.

     Section 4.3. No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the compliance with the terms hereof will not, (a) violate any law, judgment, order, decree, statute, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to Buyer, or any permit, license or approval of any Governmental Entity, (b) conflict with any provision of Buyer’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws, (c) result in any violation of, and will not conflict with, or result in a breach of any terms of, or constitute a default under, any mortgage, instrument or agreement to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound, or (d) require any notice to, or consent, approval, order or authorization of, or the registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity or other third party, which, in the case of clause (c) or (d), would have a material adverse effect on Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 5

COVENANTS

     Section 5.1. Further Assurances. The Seller Parties will provide such other information, and execute and deliver all such other and additional instruments, notices, releases, undertakings, consents and other documents, and will do all such other acts and things, as may be reasonably requested by Buyer as necessary to assure to Buyer all the rights and interests granted or intended to be granted under this Agreement. The Seller Parties shall take or shall cause to be taken such other reasonable actions as Buyer may require more effectively to transfer, convey and assign to, and vest in, Buyer, and put Buyer in possession of, the Purchased Assets as contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any of the Purchased Assets cannot be fully and effectively transferred to Buyer without the consent of a third party or parties, and if at the Closing Buyer shall have waived its right to receive at the Closing such consent, the Seller Parties shall thereafter be obligated to use their best efforts to assure to Buyer the benefits of such contract, commitment, other arrangement or other Purchased Asset.

     Section 5.2. Covenants not to Compete.

     (a) Non-Competition. For the Non-Compete Period (as that term is defined below), no Seller Party shall, directly or indirectly, anywhere in the world (the “Territory”) engage in competition with Buyer or an affiliate thereof, in any manner or capacity (e.g., as an advisor, principal, agent, partner, member, officer, director, shareholder, employee, member of any association, or otherwise), in (i) the Business (together, the “Competitive Activities”), or (ii) in the design, development, manufacture, distribution, marketing, licensing or selling of products,

services or systems which are competitive with the products, services or systems being sold, marketed or produced by, or which are under development by, Buyer or an affiliate thereof at the time of the Closing or during the Non-Compete Period, in the case of this clause (ii), to the extent known to any Seller Party, or that would be known to the Seller Parties assuming a review of the www.opensolutions.com website and of all publicly available SEC filings of Open Solutions Inc., Buyer’s parent company. No Seller Party shall own, participate in the ownership of, lend money, guarantee loans, make gifts of money or other property, or otherwise lend financial or other assistance in any form to any Person, firm, association, partnership, venture, corporation or other business entity which is engaged in, or will within the Non-Compete Period engage in, any of the activities prohibited by this Section 5.2.

     (b) Limitation on Covenant. Ownership by a Seller Party, as a passive investment, of less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock of any corporation listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.2.

     (c) Employees. During the Non-Compete Period, no Seller Party shall, either on its or his own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, firm or company, employ, solicit, entice away or attempt to employ, solicit or entice away from Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer any person who at the date hereof is, or at the date of or within the year preceding such employment, solicitation, enticement or attempt shall have been, an officer, manager, consultant or employee of Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer.

     (d) Confidentiality. No Seller Party will at any time hereafter make use of or disclose or divulge to any Person (other than to officers or employees of Buyer whose province it is to know the same) any information (other than any information properly available to the public or disclosed or divulged pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction) relating to Buyer or the Business, the identity of the customers and suppliers of Buyer or the Business, or the products, finances, contractual arrangements, business or methods of business of Buyer or the Business and shall use its and his best endeavors to prevent the publication or disclosure of any such information. Each Seller Party acknowledges that many of the Purchased Assets are trade secrets which Buyer has purchased and which the Seller Parties are forever restricted from using or disclosing. If, in connection with the business or affairs of Sellers, any Seller Party shall have obtained trade secrets or other confidential information belonging to any third party under an agreement which contained restrictions on disclosure by any Seller Party, then the Seller Parties will not at any time infringe such restrictions.

     (e) Injunctive Relief. The Seller Parties acknowledge that any violation of any provision of this Section 5.2 will cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that damages for such harm will be incapable of precise measurement and that, as a result, Buyer will not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the harm caused by such violations. Therefore, in the event of a violation of Section 5.2 by any Seller Party, each Seller Party agrees that, in addition to its other remedies, Buyer shall be entitled, without the necessity of either proof of actual damage or the posting of a bond, to injunctive relief, including but not limited to an immediate temporary injunction, temporary restraining order and/or preliminary or permanent injunction to restrain or enjoin any such violation. Each Seller Party acknowledges that any violation of this Section 5.2

will cause Buyer irreparable harm and that such irreparable harm will affect Buyer at its principal place of business in Glastonbury, Connecticut, and, therefore, each Seller Party does hereby submit to jurisdiction before any state or federal court sitting in the State of Connecticut, at Buyer’s election, and each Seller Party hereby waives any right to raise the question of jurisdiction and venue in any action that Buyer may bring in any such court against any Seller Party.

     (f) Severability. The parties understand and agree that the covenant set forth in this Section 5.2 shall be construed as a series of separate covenants not to compete, one covenant for each country, state and province within the Territory, one for each separate line of the Competitive Activities, and one for each month of the Non-Compete Period. Should any clause, portion or paragraph of this Section 5.2 be unenforceable or invalid for any reason, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect the enforceability or validity of the remainder of this Section 5.2. Should any particular covenant or restriction, including but not limited to the covenants and restrictions of Section 5.2(a), 5.2(c) and 5.2(d), be held to be unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, including without limitation the time period, geographical area and scope of activity covered by such covenant, then a court may modify any such covenant or restriction in order to give it effect and allow it to be enforced to the greatest extent that would be reasonable and enforceable.

     (g) Acknowledgment. Each Seller Party acknowledges that this covenant not to compete is a mandatory condition precedent to the Closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, in the absence of the preceding covenant not to compete, Buyer would not have consented to the Closing.

     (h) Sellers’ and Trusts’ Non-Compete Period.

     (i) With respect to Sellers and Trusts, the Non-Compete Period shall be three (3) years after the Closing Date or, if ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, one of the periods of time listed in clause (ii).

     (ii) If ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Non-Compete Period for a Seller or Trust shall be one of the following periods of time:

     (A) two (2) years and six (6) months from the Closing Date;

     (B) two (2) years from the Closing Date;

     (D) one (1) year from the Closing Date; or

     (E) six (6) months from the Closing Date.

     (i) Lewis’ Non-Compete Period. With respect to Lewis, the Non-Compete Period shall be one (1) year after the Closing Date or, if ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, six (6) months from the Closing Date.

     Section 5.3. Use of Names. From and after the Closing Date, all Seller Parties shall cease to use the names Omega, Omega Systems, Tri-Core and Tri-Core Systems or any similar name (the “Names”) and, as indicated in Section 2.7(c), shall change their names at Closing.

     Section 5.4. Passage of Title and Risk of Loss. Legal title, equitable title, and risk of loss with respect to the property and rights to be transferred hereunder shall not pass to Buyer until the property or right is transferred at the Closing and possession thereof is delivered to Buyer.

     Section 5.5. Transfer of Goodwill and Business. From and after the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall, when requested to do so by Buyer, provide reasonable good faith assistance to effectuate a smooth transfer of the Business and goodwill to Buyer.

     Section 5.6. Expenses; Transfer Taxes. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party incurring such expense. Any sales, use, franchise, conveyance or other transfer Tax which becomes payable by any of the parties to this Agreement as a result of the conveyance and transfer from Sellers to Buyer of the Purchased Assets or otherwise as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby and any other transfer or documentary Taxes or any filing or recording fees applicable to such conveyance and transfer shall be paid by the Seller Parties, and the Seller Parties shall promptly provide Buyer with proof of payment of such Taxes, provided that the allocation specified in Section 2.9 or established pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be followed for purposes of determining the amount of such Taxes.

     Section 5.7. Taxes.

     (a) Continuing Obligation. The Seller Parties shall be responsible for and pay or cause to be paid when due all of Sellers’ Taxes attributable to, levied or imposed upon or incurred in connection with the Purchased Assets or the Business relating or pertaining to the period (or that portion of any period) ending on or prior to the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall continue to timely file within the time period for filing, or any extension granted with respect thereto, all of Sellers’ Returns required to be filed in connection with the Purchased Assets and such Returns shall be true and correct and completed in accordance with applicable laws.

     (b) Status at Closing. At Closing, Sellers shall have (i) paid or cause to be paid all Taxes they are required to pay as of such time, and (ii) withheld with respect to their employees all federal and state income taxes, FICA, FUTA and other Taxes required to be withheld as of such time, if any.

     (c) Tax Elections. No new elections with respect to Taxes, or any changes in current elections with respect to Taxes, affecting the Purchased Assets shall be made by Sellers after the date of this Agreement without the prior written consent of Buyer.

     (d) Cooperation and Records Retention. The Seller Parties and Buyer shall each (i) provide the others with such assistance as may reasonably be requested by any of them in connection with the preparation of any Return, audit or other examination by any taxing

authority or judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes, (ii) retain and provide the others with any records or other information which may be relevant to such Return, audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and (iii) provide the others with any final determination of any such audit or examination, proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any Return of the others for any period. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and the Seller Parties shall retain, until the applicable statutes of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Returns, supporting work schedules and other records or information which may be relevant to such Returns for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending before or including the Closing Date and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with a reasonable opportunity to review and copy the same.

     Section 5.8. Employment Matters. Sellers will terminate, effective upon Closing, the employment of all employees of the Business whom Buyer has indicated a desire to employ, and Sellers shall pay all compensation or other money due to such employees with respect to their employment and termination by Sellers through and including the Closing Date. The Seller Parties shall cooperate with Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to hire such employees as Buyer deems desirable for the continuation of the Business, and Sellers shall, and hereby do, release those employees who accept employment with Buyer from their obligations under any non-competition or confidentiality agreement in favor of Sellers, to the extent necessary to allow them to become employed by Buyer.

The party entitled to indemnification under this Article 6 (the “Indemnified Person”) shall give prompt written notification to the Person obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Person”) of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to a third party claim for which indemnification pursuant to this Article 6 may be sought; provided, however, that, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 6.8, if applicable, no delay on the part of the Indemnified Person in notifying the Indemnifying Person shall relieve the Indemnifying Person from any liability or obligation under this Article 6 except to the extent of any damage or liability caused solely by or arising out of such delay. Within 20 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Person may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Person, assume control of the defense of such action, suit or proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, provided (i) the Indemnifying Person acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Person that the Indemnifying Person shall indemnify the Indemnified Person with respect to all elements of such action, suit or proceeding and any damages, fines, costs or other liabilities that may be assessed against the Indemnified Person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, and (ii) the third party seeks monetary damages only. If the Indemnifying Person does not so assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Person shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Person assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Person is advised by counsel in writing that the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person may have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such action, suit or proceeding, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Person shall be considered “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement. The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. An Indemnified Person shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Person shall not agree to any settlement or the entry of a judgment in any action, suit or proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that it is reasonable to withhold such consent if, among other things, the settlement or the entry of a judgment (A) lacks a complete release of the Indemnified Person for all liability with respect thereto or (B) imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Person).

     Section 6.7. Set-Off. (a) Buyer shall be entitled to a set-off against the Escrow Funds for any amounts payable to Buyer pursuant to this Article 6 or under Sections 2.3 or Section 2.4 (a “Claimed Set-Off”). Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be construed or interpreted as a limitation on Buyer’s right to indemnification in accordance with this Article 6.

     (b) Buyer shall give the Seller Parties written notice of any Claimed Set-Off. Except in the case of a Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 of this Agreement, the Seller Parties shall have thirty (30) days from the date of Buyer’s written notice to object to the

Claimed Set-Off. The Seller Parties shall make any objection to a Claimed Set-Off in writing and shall forward the same to both Buyer and the Escrow Agent in the case of a claim against the Escrow Funds (an “Escrow Claim”). If the Seller Parties do not timely object to an Escrow Claim, or in the case of any Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 of this Agreement, Buyer may give unilateral written notice to the Escrow Agent to release a portion of the Escrow Funds equivalent to the Claimed Set-Off, which written notice the Seller Parties hereby acknowledge to be sufficient to authorize the Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Funds as directed by Buyer.

     (c) If the Seller Parties do timely object to a Claimed Set-Off, except in the case of a Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 of this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall not release any portion of the Escrow Funds to Buyer until the Escrow Agent receives instructions which are signed by Buyer and any one of the Seller Parties, or until the dispute has been definitively resolved by court proceedings. If the Seller Parties do timely object and the Seller Parties and Buyer are unable to agree to the amount of the Claimed Set-Off within thirty (30) days, either the Seller Parties or Buyer may institute court proceedings for a determination of the amount of the Claimed Set-Off. If the Seller Parties object to a Claimed Set-Off, or during the pendency of their thirty (30) day notice period, Buyer may require the Escrow Agent to retain a portion of the Escrow Funds to cover an Escrow Claim in an amount equal to 150% of the amount of the Escrow Claim asserted by Buyer, by giving the Escrow Agent unilateral written notice to retain said portion of the Escrow Funds, which written notice the Seller Parties hereby acknowledge to be sufficient to authorize the Escrow Agent to retain said portion of the Escrow Funds as directed by Buyer, and in which event the Escrow Agent shall not release said portion of the Escrow Funds to Sellers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement until the Escrow Agent receives instructions which are signed by both Buyer and one of the Seller Parties, or until the dispute has been definitively resolved by court proceedings.

     Section 6.8. Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Seller Parties and Buyer herein (except for those set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.14, 4.1 and 4.2, which shall survive indefinitely and those set forth in Sections 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18, which shall survive until expiration of the applicable statute of limitation), or in any certificate, document, writing or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. No claim may be asserted under Section 6.2(a) or 6.3(a) with respect to breach of a representation or warranty after the date that is the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (except for claims for breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.14, 3.16, 3.17, 3.18, 4.1 or 4.2), provided that claims as to which written notice is given prior to such date may be prosecuted thereafter. The indemnity obligations set forth in Sections 6.2(b), (c), (d) and (e), Sections 6.3(b) and (c), Section 6.4 and Section 6.5 shall survive indefinitely.

     Section 6.9. Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6, the Seller Parties shall not be liable to Buyer under Section 6.2(a) for breach of representations and warranties (a) until the total of all Losses with respect to such matters exceeds $25,000, after which the Seller Parties shall be liable only for the amount of such Losses that exceed $25,000 (the “Deductible”), and (b) for Losses in excess of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”), provided that the Seller Parties’ liability under Section 6.2(a) for Losses that arise from the breach of the

representations and warranties of the Seller Parties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.14, 3.16, 3.17 and 3.18 shall not be subject to the Cap. Nothing set forth in this Section 6.7 limits the Seller Parties’ liability and obligations under Sections 2.3, 2.4, 6.2(b), 6.2(c), 6.2(d), 6.2(e) or 6.4, or under any other Section or provision of this Agreement, except for Section 6.2(a) , notwithstanding the fact that the facts or circumstances giving rise to a claim under any such Section also constitute a breach of a representation or warranty and/or give rise to a claim under Section 6.2(a).

     Section 6.10. Exclusive Remedy. The provisions of this Article 6 set forth the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto with respect to any matter or event described in this Article 6, provided however that the provisions of this Article 6 shall not limit the rights or remedies of Buyer with respect to the breach of Sections 5.2 or 5.3.
