For purposes of computing the Stockholders’ payment pursuant to the foregoing sentence, the Stockholders’ share of 2007 Taxes shall be computed without regard to (i) the compensation deductions attributable to payments of Discretionary Bonuses or payments made in respect of First Year Options (such deductions shall be solely for the benefit of the Buyer) and (ii) any benefit due to accounting method changes; provided that for purposes of computing the Stockholders’ payment pursuant to the foregoing sentence, any liability for the Stockholders’ share of 2007 Taxes shall be offset by any applicable net operating loss carryforwards. Any amounts due to Buyer under this Section 7.2 shall be paid to Buyer out of the Escrow.

7.3. Tax Allocation. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are payable by the Companies for any Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax payable by the Companies which relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period,

and (ii) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be equal to the amount which would be payable by the Companies or the Buyer if the Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date; provided, however, that any franchise Tax shall be allocated to the taxable period (or portion thereof) during which the income, operations, assets or capital comprising the base of such Tax is measured, regardless of whether the right to do business for another taxable period (or portion thereof) is obtained by the payment of such franchise Tax.

7.4. Certain Contest Rights.

(a) Within 15 days of receipt by Buyer, the Companies or the Stockholders of a written notice of any notice, demand, claim or circumstance that, either at such time or after the lapse of time, might give rise to an adjustment or audit of any Tax Return of the Companies for Pre-Closing Returns or Straddle Period Returns, the party receiving such notice shall in turn provide notice (the “Tax Claim Notice”) to the other parties hereunder. The Tax Claim Notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known to the party receiving the inquiry or notice from the taxing authority) describing such demand, claim or circumstance, including any asserted tax liability (an “Asserted Tax Claim”) in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received in respect of any such Asserted Tax Claim.

(b) Subject to the Stockholders’ right to participate in any tax proceeding as described below, the Buyer shall have the power and authority to control the conduct of the Companies in respect of any audit or investigation relating to the Companies, including without limitation any Asserted Tax Claim. With respect to any such activities relating to any periods ending on or before the Closing Date, the Stockholder Representatives shall be given the opportunity to participate, and no resolution or settlement of any such claim or demand shall be made without the Stockholder Representative’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the terms of this Section 7.4 are inconsistent with the terms of Section 9.6 hereof, the terms of this Section 7.4 shall control.

7.5. Cooperation on Tax Matters. After the Closing Date:

(a) Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholder Representative, on the other hand, will cooperate with one another and each shall make available to the other, as reasonably requested in writing, all information, records or documents relating to the preparation of any Tax Return, the payment of any Taxes in accordance with this Agreement, and the conduct of any Tax audit or other litigation involving Taxes. Such information, records or documents will be preserved until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof. The cooperation contemplated hereunder shall include providing, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information relating to the Companies (including access to books and records) as is reasonably available to such party and reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Returns, the making of any election related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any taxing authority, and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax Return as well as copies of pre acquisition Tax Returns and supporting workpapers.

(b) At least 15 Business Days prior to filing or amending (i) any Prior Period Return relating to state or federal income Taxes, (ii) any Prior Period Return relating to state sales or use Taxes, (iii) any Prior Period Return relating to any Tax other than income or sales or use Taxes where the amount to be paid exceeds $25,000, (iv) any Current Period Return relating to state or federal income Taxes, or (v) any Current Period Return relating to state sales or use Taxes to be filed in a state where the Companies have not previously filed sales or use Tax Returns and where the amount to be paid exceeds $25,000, Buyer shall provide the Stockholder Representative with a copy of such Tax Return, together with such supporting materials as shall be reasonably necessary for the Stockholder Representative to understand the same and evaluate the accuracy thereof, for the Stockholder Representative’s review, and Buyer shall give due regard to any comments by the Stockholder Representative. For purposes of this Section 7.5, (x) “Prior Period Return” means a Pre-Closing Return that was due before the Closing Date and (y) “Current Period Return” means a Pre-Closing Return that is due after the Closing Date or a Straddle Period Return.

(c) At least 15 Business Days prior to the date that the Companies, the Buyer or any of their respective advisors shall contact any taxing authority to offer to pay Taxes relating to any Pre-Closing Period pursuant to a voluntary disclosure agreement or any other similar program, Buyer shall provide the Stockholder Representative with a written description of Taxes Buyer believes to be owed and the basis therefor, together with such supporting materials as shall be reasonably necessary for the Stockholder Representative to understand the same and evaluate the accuracy thereof, for the Stockholder Representative’s review, and Buyer shall give due regard to any comments by the Stockholder Representative with respect to such matter.

7.6. Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes (including any penalty and interest) and other governmental charges (including any penalty and interest) payable in connection with the transfer of the Stock as contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Stockholders, be timely paid by the Stockholders, and Stockholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to the aforementioned items.

7.7. Withholding. The Stockholders shall each provide a certification of non-foreign status containing the information required in Regulation Section 1.1445-2(b)(2) promulgated under the Code and any other forms, certificates or other documents necessary to avoid withholding on any portion of the Merger Consideration.

fees (collectively, “Losses”), that any Buyer Party actually suffers or incurs as a result of or relating to:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Companies in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach;

(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Companies in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach; and

(c) any Liability of the Companies for Tax allocable to (i) any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date and (ii) the portion of any Straddle Period through the end of the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent that such Tax has not been specifically and fully reserved as a liability on the Closing Balance Sheet (for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 9.1(c) shall include any Tax paid pursuant to a voluntary disclosure agreement or any other similar programs).

For purposes of indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.1, all materiality qualifiers will be excluded from and given no effect in each representation and warranty set forth in Article III (other than Section 3.12(b) and Section 3.21(a)) and each covenant and agreement set forth in Article VI.

9.2. Indemnification of Buyer for Stockholder Breach. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX and the provisions of Exhibit F, if the Closing occurs, each Stockholder will indemnify and hold the Buyer Parties harmless, and if the Closing does not occur, each Stockholder will indemnify and hold the Buyer Parties (excluding the Companies) harmless, from any Losses that any Buyer Party actually suffers or incurs as a result of or relating to:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by that Stockholder in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach; and

(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement by that Stockholder in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach.

For purposes of indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.2, all materiality qualifiers will be excluded from and given no effect in each representation and warranty set forth in Article IV, and each covenant and agreement set forth in Article VI.

9.3. Indemnification of Stockholders. Subject to the other provisions of this Article IX and the provisions of Exhibit F, if the Closing occurs, Buyer will indemnify and hold the Stockholders, their Affiliates and their respective agents (collectively, the “Stockholder Parties”) harmless, and if the Closing does not occur, Buyer will indemnify and hold the Companies, their Affiliates and their respective agents (collectively, the “Company Parties”) harmless, from any and all Losses that any Stockholder Party or Company Party, as the case may be, suffers or incurs as a result of or relating to:

(a) the breach of any representation or warranty made by a Buyer in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach; or

(b) the breach of any covenant or agreement made by a Buyer in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any allegation by a third party that, if true, would constitute such a breach.

For purposes of indemnification pursuant to this Section 9.3, all materiality qualifications will be excluded from and given no effect in each representation and warranty set forth in Article V and each covenant and agreement set forth in Article VI.

For Tax purposes, any amounts required to be paid by one party to the other pursuant to Section 9.1, 9.2 or 9.3 of this Agreement shall be treated as a Merger Consideration Adjustment by all parties.

9.4. Limitations on Indemnification; Survival. The indemnification obligations of the parties under this Article IX are subject to the limitations set forth in Exhibit F.

9.5. Notice. Any party entitled to receive indemnification under this Article IX (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the party or parties required to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Parties”) upon the occurrence of any identifiable Loss or the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any third party action or proceeding in respect of which such a Loss may reasonably be expected to occur (any such notice, a “Claim”), but the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice will not affect the obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article IX except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties are prejudiced thereby. Such written notice will be given in good faith and will specify in reasonable detail each event forming the basis of such Loss or Claim and the amount involved, each individual item of Loss or Claim included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder, unless such amount is uncertain or contingent, in which event the Indemnified Party will give a later written notice when the amount becomes fixed.

9.6. Defense of Claims. Subject to the rights and obligations of the Parties under Article VII of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Parties may elect to assume and control the defense of any third party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of expenses related to such Claim, if (a) the Indemnifying Parties acknowledge their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Losses resulting from such Claim; and (b) such Claim does not seek to impose any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party other than for money damages. If such conditions are satisfied and the Indemnifying Parties elect to assume and control the defense of such Claim, then (i) the Indemnifying Parties will not be liable for any settlement of such Claim effected without their consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; (ii) the Indemnifying Parties may settle such Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party; and (iii) the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel and participate in the defense of such Claim, but the Indemnified

Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of such counsel unless (A) the Indemnifying Parties have failed to adequately assume the defense of such Claim or to employ counsel with respect thereto or (B) in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest exists between the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties that requires representation by separate counsel, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel will be paid by the Indemnifying Parties, provided that in no event will the Indemnifying Parties be required to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for the Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim. If such conditions are not satisfied, (i) the Indemnified Party shall assume and control the defense of such Claim, provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Parties have previously acknowledged their obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for any Losses resulting from such Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for any settlement of any such Claim effected without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (ii) the Indemnifying Parties may participate in such defense at its own expense. If such conditions are not satisfied, such circumstances, the Indemnified Party shall keep the Indemnifying Parties advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the Indemnifying Parties with respect thereto.

9.7. Holdback Amount; Right of Setoff. All finally determined due and owing Claims Buyer has under this Article IX will first be deducted from the Holdback Amount and distributed to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. To the extent the amount owed any Buyer for a Claim is more than the balance remaining in the Escrow or becomes due after distribution of the Escrow, then subject to the limitations set forth in Exhibit F, the Stockholders will pay the balance of such Claim to Buyer in immediately available funds within the ten days after final determination of the amount due.

ARTICLE X
Miscellaneous

This Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned (a) at any time prior to the Closing by mutual written consent of Buyer and the Companies; (b) except as provided below, by either Buyer, on the one hand, or the Companies, on the other hand, if a condition to Closing under this Agreement has not been satisfied or waived prior to the date that is sixty (60) days after the date hereof; or (c) except as provided below, by Buyer, on the one hand, or the Companies, on the other hand, at any time, if there is pending or threatened litigation in any court or any proceeding by any Governmental Body to restrain or prohibit or obtain damages or other relief with respect to this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as a result of which Buyer could be required to dispose of any assets or operations of Buyer (including the operations of the Companies) or their Affiliates or to comply with any restriction on the manner in which Buyer or their Affiliates conduct their operations (including any operations of the Companies); provided, that, (i) Buyer may not terminate this Agreement if the Closing has not occurred because of Buyer’s failure to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements or willful breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, and such breach constitutes a failure of one or more conditions set forth in Section 8.1(a); and (ii) the Companies may not terminate this Agreement if the Closing has not occurred because of any Seller’s failure to perform or observe any of its covenants or agreements

(other than the covenants in Section 6.1) or any Seller’s willful breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or covenants set forth in Section 6.1, and such breach constitutes a failure of one or more conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a). In the event of termination of this Agreement by any party hereto as provided in this Section 10.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any party hereto except (x) under the Confidentiality Agreement, (y) with respect to this Section 10.1 (Termination), Section 6.7 (Publicity), or Section 6.8 (Transaction Costs), and (z) to the extent that such termination results from the willful breach by a party hereto of any of its representations and warranties or of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

act in the name, place and stead thereof with respect to the performance on behalf of such Stockholder under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as the same may be from time to time amended, and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents on behalf of the Stockholders, if any, as the Stockholder Representative shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, including:

(i) to agree upon or compromise any matter related to the calculation of any purchase price or other adjustments, under this Agreement;

(ii) to direct the distribution of the Merger Consideration;

(iii) to act for the Stockholders with respect to all indemnification matters referred to in this Agreement, including the right to compromise on behalf of the Stockholders any indemnification claim made by or against the Stockholders, if any;

(iv) to act for the Stockholders with respect to all post-Closing matters including to consent to the payment of funds in the Escrow to Buyer and/or to petition the Escrow Agent for the release of any or all funds due the Stockholders under the Escrow Agreement;

(v) to terminate, amend, or waive any provision of this Agreement; provided that any such action, if material to the rights and obligations of the Stockholders in the reasonable judgment of the Stockholder Representative, shall be taken in the same manner with respect to all the Stockholders unless otherwise agreed by each of the Stockholders who is subject to any disparate treatment of a potentially adverse nature;

(vi) to employ and obtain the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as the Stockholder Representative, in his sole discretion, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of his duties as the Stockholder Representative and to rely on their advice and counsel;

(vii) to retain a portion of the Merger Consideration as a reserve against the payment of expenses incurred in his capacity as the Stockholder Representative;

(viii) to sign any releases or other documents with respect to and dispute or remedy arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents; and

(ix) to do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of the Stockholders which the Stockholder Representative deems necessary or appropriate in his sole discretion relating to the subject matter of this Agreement as fully and completely as any of the Stockholders could do if personally present and acting.

(b) The appointment of the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Stockholder Representative as the acts of the Stockholders hereunder in all matters referred to in this Agreement. Each of the Stockholders hereby ratifies and confirms all that the Stockholder Representative shall do or cause to be done by virtue of such Stockholder Representative’s appointment as Stockholder Representative of the Stockholders. The Stockholder Representative shall act for the Stockholders on all of the matters set forth in this Agreement in the manner the Stockholder Representative believes to be in the best interest of the Stockholders but the Stockholder Representative shall not be responsible to the Companies nor any of the Stockholders for any loss or damage that the Companies or any of the Stockholders may suffer by reason of the performance by the Stockholder Representative of such Stockholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement and any other agreement appointing such Stockholder Representative, other than loss or damage arising from willful misconduct or fraud in the performance of such Stockholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement.

(c) By his, her or its approval of this Agreement, each of the Stockholders hereunder hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that any Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by the Stockholder Representative under this Agreement without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any of the Stockholders. If the Stockholder Representative resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, which, it is acknowledged, the Stockholder Representative may do at any time or for any reason, then the successor Stockholder Representative shall be selected by a majority-in-interest of the Stockholders (based on their Pro Rata Portions). The Stockholders do hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify and hold the Stockholder Representative harmless from and against any and all Loss (including without limitation attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the performance of such Stockholder Representative’s duties under this Agreement, except for any such Loss arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative.

(d) The persons authorized to act on behalf of the Stockholder Representative shall be Leigh Michl, Michael Pehl, and any other person designated by either of them (or designated by such designee). Buyer may act in reliance upon any instructions, notice, certification, consent, authorization or other communication believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to be signed or made on behalf of the Stockholder Representative by a proper person, and Buyer shall not be liable to any Person in connection with the taking of any action or any failure to take any action in accordance with the foregoing.

(e) The Stockholder Representative shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of its duties (including the reasonable fees of counsel), and up to $50,000 of such expenses and fees shall be paid out of the Escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that such $50,000 limit shall in no way limit the Stockholder Representative’s right to indemnification under this Section 10.16; and provided, further, that the Stockholder Representative shall be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of its duties (including

the reasonable fees of counsel) in excess of such $50,000 limit (to the extent not otherwise reimbursed), and shall be entitled to receive such amount, at its option, either (i) out of any portion of the Escrow that would otherwise be released and paid to the Stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and only at the time of such release, or (ii) by contribution, pro-rata, from each of the Stockholders as and at the time such expense is incurred. Provision being made for any such expenses shall be a condition to any requirement for the Stockholder Representative to take any action on behalf of the Stockholders.
