Section 2.06 [Intentionally Omitted]

Section 2.07 Post-Closing Adjustment to Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing as follows:

(a) No later than the end of the 60-day period beginning on the first day following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to Seller:

(i) the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet; and

(ii) a reasonably detailed calculation by Purchaser of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing (the “Net Working Capital Calculation”), prepared based on the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet.

For illustration purposes, a sample Closing Balance Sheet and calculation of Net Working Capital, based upon the Most Recent Balance Sheet, are attached hereto as Schedule 2.07(a).

(b) The Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Working Capital as stated in the Net Working Capital Calculation shall be deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties (at which time the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed to constitute the Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Working Capital reflected in the Net Working Capital Calculation shall be deemed to be the Closing Net Working Capital) upon the earliest of: (i) in the event that Seller does not dispute the amounts reflected on the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Net Working Capital Calculation, by delivering written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) of any such objection to Purchaser before the end of the 15-day period beginning on the first day following the date on which the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet is delivered by Purchaser to Seller (such period being hereinafter the “Objection Period”), the first day following the expiration of such Objection Period; and (ii) in the event that Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within the Objection Period, the date on which all disputes between Purchaser and Seller concerning the amount of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing have been resolved in writing, whether by agreement of Purchaser and Seller or by the Independent Accounting Firm as provided for by Section 2.07(c) hereof.

(c) During the Objection Period, Purchaser shall provide Seller with access to all of the documents, schedules, memoranda, books and records used by Purchaser or its Representatives in preparing the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Working Capital Calculation and any other information of the Company specifically related to the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Net Working Capital which Seller may reasonably request and Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, cooperate reasonably with Seller in connection therewith. Seller shall have the right to dispute the amounts reflected on the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Net Working Capital Calculation, by delivering a Dispute Notice to Purchaser before the expiration of the Objection Period. In the event of such a dispute, Purchaser and Seller shall

-16-

attempt in good faith to reconcile their dispute, and, any written resolution by them as to any disputed items shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and Seller. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach a resolution of their differences within fifteen (15) days following the date Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to Purchaser, then either Purchaser or Seller may thereafter submit any remaining disputed items to an independent accounting firm of national reputation mutually approved by Purchaser and Seller (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). In such event, the Independent Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts as to which Purchaser and Seller have disagreed within the time periods and on the terms specified above. The Independent Accounting Firm may rely only upon GAAP and other information submitted to it by Purchaser and Seller. The Independent Accounting Firm shall be instructed to use reasonable best efforts to deliver to Purchaser and Seller a written decision setting forth the resolution of each disputed matter within thirty (30) days of submission of the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and Net Working Capital Calculation to it and, in any case, as promptly as practicable after such submission. In the absence of fraud or manifest error, the decision by the Independent Accounting Firm of such disputed matters shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Seller and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. Purchaser and Seller agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.07 for resolving disputes with respect to the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided that this provision shall not prohibit any Party from instituting litigation to enforce any decision by the Independent Accounting Firm made pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne (i) by Seller in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are successfully disputed by Purchaser (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm or as otherwise mutually agreed) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all disputed items and (ii) by Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of the disputed items that are unsuccessfully disputed by Purchaser (as finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm or as otherwise mutually agreed) bears to the aggregate amount of all disputed items. (For example, if the Parties dispute $1,000,000 of proposed adjustment to be paid by Seller, and the Independent Accounting Firm determines that such adjustment should be $400,000, and the fees and disbursements of the Independent Accounting Firm in connection with the dispute are $100,000, then Seller shall pay $40,000 (40%) and Purchaser shall pay $60,000 (60%) of such amount). If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser before the expiration of the Objection Period, the Proposed Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Net Working Capital, as adjusted to reflect the resolution of the dispute between Purchaser and Seller (whether such resolution arises as a result of an agreement between Purchaser and Seller or a determination of the Independent Accounting Firm) shall be deemed to be the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Net Working Capital and shall be conclusive and binding on Seller and Purchaser.

(d) In the event that the Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.07 is less than the Target Net Working Capital, within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Net Working Capital is deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties, Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any such difference.

-17-

The amount, if any, which is payable by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be paid in immediately available funds by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account specified by Purchaser in writing.

(e) In the event that the Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.07 is greater than the Target Net Working Capital, within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Net Working Capital is deemed to be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties, Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of any such excess. The amount, if any, which is payable by Purchaser to Seller by the preceding sentence shall be paid in immediately available funds by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer to an account specified in writing by Seller.

(f) The Purchase Price, increased or decreased as provided for in this Section 2.07 is referred to for purposes of this Agreement as the “Final Purchase Price”.

-44-

(ii) either:

(A) solicit for a Competitive Business or endeavor to entice away any Person who is a customer, supplier, licensee or other business relation of the Company or Purchaser to cease or reduce doing business with the Company or Purchaser, or in any way interfere or attempt to interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation, on the one hand, and the Company or Purchaser, on the other hand;

(B) (I) solicit, recruit or hire any employees of Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or Persons who work for the Company in connection with the Business; and/or (II) encourage any employee of Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or Persons who work for the Company to leave the employment of the same in order to engage in a Competitive Business; or

(C) assist any Person or entity in any way to do, or attempt to do, anything prohibited by this Section 5.05 (except for responding to requests for reference checks).

(c) The foregoing restrictions on solicitation shall not include soliciting, recruiting, or hiring of individuals who respond to general advertising and marketing efforts to recruit employees of a Party or its Affiliates which advertising and marketing efforts are not targeted at employees of such Party or its Affiliates.

(d) Each Party acknowledges that a material breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.05 may result in material irreparable injury to the non-breaching Party for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it may not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that the non-breaching Party will be entitled to obtain a temporary restraining order and/or a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the breaching Party from engaging in activities prohibited by this Section 5.05, and such other relief as may be required to specifically enforce any of the covenants in this Section 5.05.

Purchaser agrees that, from and after the Closing, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to replace all Existing LOC/Bonds set forth on Schedule 1.01(b) with similar letters of credit, bonds, guaranties, or other credit enhancements sufficient for the terms of the applicable underlying projects and Purchaser shall bear all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. Purchaser will seek to have all such Existing LOC/Bonds replaced by the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date. Purchaser shall provide information to Seller regarding the status of such replacement efforts either (x) upon Seller’s reasonable request or (y) upon the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date to the extent that certain Existing LOC/Bonds have not yet then been able to have been replaced. If Purchaser fails to replace any such Existing LOC/Bonds within such six-month period, Purchaser shall promptly (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such six-month period) cause a “back to back” letter of credit, bond and/or guaranty, as applicable, to be issued in favor of the Seller in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of each such Existing LOC/Bonds which have not been replaced.

Section 5.09 Employment Matters.

(a) Except for those employees specified on Schedule 5.09(a), if any, Purchaser shall cause the Company to continue at the Closing the employment of each of the current employees of the Company immediately following the Closing at the same seniority and in the same positions and functions as such employee held immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Continued Employees”). Neither the foregoing nor any other provision of this Agreement shall constitute a commitment, undertaking or other obligation on behalf of Purchaser or the Company to continue the employment of any Continued Employee for any period of time, and all Continued Employees shall be “at will” employees of the Company whose employment may be terminated at any time subject to applicable agreements, if any, of particular Continued Employees with respect to severance or other rights in connection with termination of employment.

(b) During the twelve-month period following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to provide the Continued Employees who continue in active employment following the Closing Date with the same base rates of pay as such employees held immediately prior to the Closing Date plus bonus eligibility and, if applicable, bonuses generally consistent with the bonus policies and practices of the Purchaser recognizing similar levels of experience and responsibility.

(c) Except and to the extent set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, Purchaser shall cause each Continued Employee and his or her eligible dependents (including all such Continued Employee’s dependents) covered immediately prior to the Closing Date by a group health plan maintained by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller to be offered coverage under a group health plan maintained by Purchaser or an Affiliate of Purchaser on the terms which Purchaser offers such coverage to its similarly situated employees that (i) provides major medical and dental benefits coverages to the Continued Employee and such eligible dependents effective immediately upon the Closing Date and (ii) credits such Continued Employee, for the year during which such coverage under such group health plan begins, with any deductibles and co-payments already incurred during such year under a group health plan maintained by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller; provided, however, that for purposes of applying this clause (ii) with respect to any Continued Employee, the Continued Employee shall be responsible for providing the necessary information to Purchaser based on explanation of benefit forms received by the Continued Employee from the group health plan maintained by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller.

(d) Purchaser shall cause each employee welfare benefit plan or program sponsored by Purchaser or the Company that the Continued Employees may be eligible to participate in connection with the Closing Date to waive any preexisting condition exclusion or restriction with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to Continued Employees. Purchaser shall cause the Company to recognize and give each Continued Employee credit for his or her accumulated sick leave balance as of the Closing Date under the sick leave program maintained by Seller and its Affiliates.

-47-

(e) Claims of Continued Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for medical, dental, prescription drug, life insurance or other welfare benefits (“Welfare Benefits”) (other than disability benefits) that are incurred before the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Claims of Continued Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for Welfare Benefits (other than disability benefits) that are incurred from and after the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser and its Affiliates. For purposes of this paragraph, a medical/dental claim shall be considered incurred on the date when the medical/dental services are rendered or medical/dental supplies are provided, and not when the condition arose or when the course of treatment began. Claims of individuals receiving long-term disability benefits as of the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Seller. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, claims of Continued Employees and their eligible beneficiaries and dependents for short-term or long-term disability benefits from and after the Closing Date shall be the sole responsibility of Purchaser and its Affiliates (but only to the extent the circumstances giving rise to such claim occurred on or after the Closing Date).

(f) Except and to the extent set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, all claims for health care and dependent care flexible spending account benefits submitted after the Closing Date for expenses incurred prior to the Closing Date by Continued Employees shall be paid by Seller’s or its Affiliates’ health care and dependent care flexible spending account plan to the extent permitted in accordance with the terms of such plan.

(g) Claims for workers’ compensation benefits arising out of occurrences prior to the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Seller. Claims for workers’ compensation benefits for Continued Employees arising out of occurrences on or after the Closing Date shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.

(h) If any employees of Seller (as compared to those of the Company) shall be transferred to Purchaser or Company as a result of the transactions contemplated herein, the Purchaser, Seller and the Company agree to use the “Standard Procedure” provided in Section 4 of Revenue Procedure 2004-53, 2004-2 C.B. 320, such that (i) the Company and the Seller shall, upon request of the Purchaser, report on a predecessor/successor basis as set forth therein, (ii) the Seller will not be relieved from filing a Form W-2 with respect to any Continued Employee previously employed by it, and (iii) the Company will undertake to file (or cause to be filed) a Form W-2 for each such Continued Employee only with respect to the portion of the year during which such employees are employed by the Company that includes the Closing Date, excluding the portion of such year that such employee was employed by the Seller or its Affiliate.

(i) Except and to the extent set forth in the Transition Services Agreement, the Purchaser shall be responsible for complying with COBRA with respect to all Continued Employees and their qualified beneficiaries by reason of any such employees’ termination of employment, and except as required by applicable law the Seller shall not have any obligation or liability to provide rights under COBRA on account of any such termination of employment.

-48-

(j) In the event that this Section 5.09 conflicts with the terms of the Transition Services Agreement, the terms of the Transition Services Agreement shall control.

Section 5.10 Exclusivity.

From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date or earlier termination hereof, none of Seller, the Company or any of their Affiliates (a) shall, directly or indirectly, through any of its Representatives or otherwise, take any action to solicit, initiate, seek, or encourage any inquiry, proposal or offer from, furnish any information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party (other than Purchaser or an Affiliate thereof designated by Purchaser) regarding any Acquisition Proposal (any such transaction being a “Third-Party Acquisition”) and (b) shall enter into any Contract with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and each agrees that any such discussions or negotiations with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than with Purchaser) in progress shall have been terminated on or prior to the date hereof. Seller, the Company and their Affiliates, as applicable, shall be responsible for the conduct of each of their Representatives. Any of Seller, the Company or any of their Affiliates, as the case may be, shall notify Purchaser promptly of the existence or upon the receipt of any such proposal or inquiry by such party or any of its Representatives of any proposal for, or inquiry respecting, any Third-Party Acquisition by any Person that, following the date hereof, informs Seller or the Company in writing that it is considering making or has made such a proposal or inquiry. Such notice to Purchaser will indicate in reasonable detail the identity of the Person making the proposal or inquiry, including the identity of the ultimate parties in interest if known, and the terms and conditions of such proposal or inquiry. Unless the board of directors of Seller has received advice of counsel that it is required pursuant to fiduciary duties to act otherwise (in which case reasonable prior notice will be given to Purchaser), so long as this Agreement remains in effect and has not been terminated, neither Seller’s or the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof shall (i) withdraw or modify, or propose to withdraw or modify, in a manner adverse to Purchaser, its approval of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) approve or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal (other than as contemplated by this Agreement) or (iii) authorize Seller or the Company to enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal (other than as contemplated by this Agreement).

ARTICLE 6.

CONDITIONS TO CLOSING

The obligations of Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the fulfillment, or written waiver by Seller (in its sole discretion), at or prior to the Closing, of each of the following conditions:

(a) Representations, Warranties and Covenants. (i) The representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties (x) subject

-49-

to materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications, which shall be true and correct in all respects on the Closing Date and (y) made as of a specified date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct only as of such specified date) except where the failure to be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties subject to materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications, to be true and correct in all respects) would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair or delay Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to perform its obligations hereunder or under any agreements contemplated hereby (provided, that if the Closing occurs on the date of this Agreement, then notwithstanding the foregoing the representations and warranties of Purchaser contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date); and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by Purchaser on or before the Closing shall have been complied with in all material respects, and Seller shall have received a certificate from Purchaser to the effect of clause (i) and (ii) above signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

(b) No Order or Violation. There shall be no injunction, restraining order or decree of any nature of any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that is in effect that prohibits or permanently enjoins the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the consummation nor the performance of any of the contemplated transactions will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time), materially contravene, or conflict with, or result in a material violation of, or cause Seller or any Affiliate of Seller to suffer any material adverse consequence under any applicable Law or Governmental Order (or to be reasonably likely to result in a material violation of any applicable Law or Governmental Order that, to the knowledge of Seller, will become effective or has been published and is likely to become effective after the Closing Date).

-50-

specified date) except when the failure to be true and correct in all material respects (or, in the case of representations and warranties subject to materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications, to be true and correct in all respects) would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially impair or delay Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to perform its obligations hereunder or under any agreements contemplated hereby (provided, that if the Closing occurs on the date of this Agreement, then notwithstanding the foregoing the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects as of the Closing Date); and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement to be complied with by Seller on or before the Closing shall have been complied with in all material respects, and Purchaser shall have received a certificate from Seller to the effect of clause (i) and (ii) above signed by a duly authorized officer thereof.

There shall be no injunction, restraining order or decree of any nature of any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction that is in effect that prohibits or permanently enjoins the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the consummation nor the performance of any of the contemplated transactions will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time), materially contravene, or conflict with, or result in a material violation of, or cause Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser to suffer any material adverse consequence under any applicable Law or Governmental Order (or to be reasonably likely to result in a material violation of any applicable Law or Governmental Order that, to the knowledge of Purchaser, will become effective or has been published and is likely to become effective after the Closing Date).

(a) If any Purchaser Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party (hereinafter an “Indemnified Party”) shall claim to have suffered a Loss (other than with respect to any claim asserted, demand or other Action by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (any such claim asserted by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement

-54-

is hereinafter a “Third-Party Claim”) for which indemnification is available under Sections 7.02, 7.03, or 9.03, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 7.04, regardless of whether such Indemnified Party is entitled to receive a payment in respect of such claim by virtue of the provisions of Section 7.05 hereof), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the party required to provide indemnification (hereinafter an “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such claim within the time periods provided in Section 7.02(b) or Section 7.03(b), as the case may be, which written notice shall describe the facts and circumstances giving rise to such Loss, the basis upon which indemnity is being sought, the amount or estimated amount of the Loss, if known or reasonably ascertainable at the time such claim is made (or if not then reasonably ascertainable, the maximum amount of such claim reasonably estimated by the Indemnified Party), and the method of computation of such Loss, all with reasonable particularity and containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such Loss shall have occurred.

(b) If the Indemnified Party shall have received from the Indemnifying Party a written notice setting forth the Indemnifying Party’s objections to such claim and the Indemnifying Party’s reasons for such objection, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith for a period of ten (10) Business Days from the date the Indemnified Party receives such objection (such period is hereinafter referred to as the “Negotiation Period”).

Without limitation of the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for Losses (and the amount of any such Losses shall not be includable in determining whether the aggregate amount of the Losses exceeds the Basket Amount) if and to the extent that the amount of any Losses from any matter has been reflected as a deduction, decrease or exclusion in the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital.

(a) Any Indemnified Party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 in respect of any Third-Party Claim shall give the Indemnifying Party from whom indemnification with respect to such claim is sought: (i) prompt written notice of such Third-Party Claim; and (ii) copies of all documents and information relating to any such Third-Party Claim within ten (10) days of their being obtained by the Indemnified Party; provided, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to so notify or provide copies to the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability to the Indemnified Party for any liability hereunder except to the extent that such failure shall have prejudiced the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have twenty (20) days (or such lesser time as may be necessary to comply with statutory response requirements for litigation claims that are included in any Third-Party Claim) from receipt of the notice contemplated in Section 7.06(a) to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not the Indemnifying Party will, at its sole cost and expense, defend the Indemnified Party against such claim. If the Indemnifying Party timely gives notice that it intends to defend the Third-Party Claim, it shall have the right, except as hereafter provided, but not the obligation, to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Third-Party Claim and to be represented by counsel of its own choice, and the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect thereto or settle, compromise, pay or discharge the same without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any proceeding with counsel of the Indemnified Party’s choice and at the Indemnified Party’s expense; provided further, that the Indemnifying Party may not enter into a settlement of any such Third-Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement requires no more than a monetary payment for which the Indemnified Party is indemnified by the Indemnifying Party or involves other matters not binding upon the Indemnified Party; and provided further that, in the event the Indemnifying Party does not agree in writing to accept the defense of such Third-Party Claim as provided above in this Section 7.06, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with the Third-Party Claim in such manner as the Indemnified Party deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification therefor from the Indemnifying Party to the extent provided under this Article 7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is a conflict of interest in the defense of such action between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel for the defense or settlement of any such claim or demand and its reasonable costs and expenses shall be included as part of the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party elects to exercise such right, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense or settlement of such claim at its sole cost and expense. In any event, no Indemnified Party may compromise or settle any Third-Party Claim for which it is seeking indemnification hereunder without the consent of the Indemnifying party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This Section 7.06 shall not apply with respect to Tax Contests governed by Section 9.05(b) hereof.

Section 7.07 Effect of Indemnification.

Any indemnity payment made hereunder shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

Section 7.08 Payment Mechanics.

After any amount owed by Seller to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for an indemnification claim is properly determined hereunder, if Seller's direction to the escrow agent is required under the Escrow Agreement then Seller shall direct such sums to be paid from the Escrow Account no later than five (5) days after the date of determination; provided, however, that in the event that the Escrow Account has been fully disbursed, and the sums claimed are not barred by the limitations set forth in this Article 7, then all of the sums so due and owing to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be paid directly within five (5) days after the date of determination, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 7. After any amount owed by Purchaser to Seller Indemnified Parties for an indemnification claim is properly determined hereunder, then all of the sums so due and owing to Seller shall be paid directly to Seller within five (5) days after the date of determination.

Section 7.09 Materiality Disregarded for Purposes of Determination of Losses.

(a) With respect to any breach of any representation or warranty, any qualifications or exceptions relating to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or any similar materiality qualifiers shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating the amount of Losses resulting therefrom (but not for purposes of determining whether a breach occurred) to which any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such representations and warranties.

(b) In determining Losses for purposes of this Agreement, the Parties shall make appropriate reimbursements for insurance coverage to the extent of insurance proceeds actually received with respect to any indemnification claim, net of all costs and expenses incurred to collect such insurance. The Indemnified Party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to seek recovery under any such insurance policies and the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any Losses which they might have paid as a result of the indemnification, which is subsequently recovered by the Indemnified Party under any such insurance. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any expenses incurred in connection with the activities contemplated in this Section to the extent not otherwise recovered by an Indemnified Party.

-59-

Seller, and the breach has not been cured within thirty (30) days following written notice from Seller of such breach; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.01(b) shall not be available to Seller if any of Seller or the Company is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or other agreement contained herein;

ARTICLE 9.

TAXES

Section 9.01 Preparation of Tax Returns; Payment of Taxes.

(a) Seller will cause the Company to file its income Tax Returns and all other required foreign, federal, state, provincial and local tax returns for the taxable periods of the Company ending on or prior to the Closing Date and shall pay the Taxes shown due

-60-

thereon. All Tax Returns described in this Section 9.01(a) shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice; provided, however, such Tax Returns shall take into account the impact of any elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code as permitted under this Agreement. Seller shall, prior to the filing of any Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date, permit Purchaser to review and comment upon all such Tax Returns. Seller and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith mutually to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing thereof. Any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns which are not resolved prior to the filing thereof shall be promptly resolved pursuant to Section 9.08 which shall be binding on the Parties.

(b) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing or causing to be prepared all Federal, foreign, State, provincial and local Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company for all taxable periods ending after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed all such Tax Returns and shall pay the Taxes shown to be due thereon; provided that, with respect to any Straddle Period (as defined below), Seller shall be liable for the Taxes allocated to the period beginning before the Closing Date and through and including the Closing Date, as set forth in Sections 9.01(c) and 9.02.

(c) With respect to any Tax Return required to be filed by Purchaser for or on behalf of the Company for or relating to any taxable year or period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of such Tax Return and a statement specifying the amount of Tax shown on such Tax Return that is allocable to Seller pursuant to this Article 9 and Section 10.01 (the “Straddle Period Statement”), together with appropriate supporting information, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date (including any extension thereof) for the filing of such Tax Return. The foregoing sentence shall not preclude Purchaser from making a Section 338(h)(10) election under the Code with respect to the Company. Seller shall pay Purchaser the amount of Tax set forth on the Straddle Period Statement for which Seller are liable pursuant to this Article 9 no later than two (2) days prior to the due date of any such Tax Return.

Section 9.02 Computation of Tax Liabilities.

To the extent permitted or required by law or administrative practice, the taxable year of Seller which includes the Closing Date shall be treated as closing on and include the Closing Date. For purposes of Section 9.01(c), where it is necessary to apportion between Seller and Purchaser a Tax liability of the Company for a Straddle Period (which is not treated under the immediately preceding sentence as closing on the Closing Date), such Tax liability shall be apportioned as follows:

(a) in the case of Taxes that are either: (i) based upon or related to income or receipts; or (ii) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), such Taxes shall be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year ended on and included the Closing Date; and

-61-

(b) in the case of Taxes not described in Section 9.02(a) that are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the amount, value or level of any item (such as personal property taxes and real estate taxes), such Taxes shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the taxable period ending on (and including) the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire taxable period.

Section 9.03 Tax Indemnity.

Purchaser and Seller shall furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, and each at their own expense, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records) and assistance, including making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanations of any material provided, relating to the Company as is reasonably necessary for the filing of any Tax Return, for the preparation for any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes.

(a) In the event that Purchaser receives notice from any Tax Authority of any audit of any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company, Purchaser shall promptly provide written notice to Seller of the date on which such audit is to begin, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt by Purchaser of any such notice. In the event that Seller receives notice from any Tax Authority of any audit of any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company, Seller shall promptly provide written notice to Purchaser of the date on which such audit is to begin, but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller of any such notice.

Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to the Tax Contest or participation provided therein, provided, however, that such costs and expenses may be recovered as Losses to the extent provided by, and in accordance with this Agreement. With respect to any Tax Contest regarding a Tax matter for which Seller may have liability under this Agreement, Seller may require the party having control over the Tax Contest as provided in this Section 9.05(b) to contest such matter in an administrative or judicial proceeding, provided in such case, Seller shall be responsible for all the costs and expenses associated with the Tax matter for which Seller may be liable.

Section 9.06 Tax Basis Elections.

(a) With respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate with, and make with, Purchaser the joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code with respect to the acquisition of the Stock of the Company pursuant hereto and shall cooperate with Purchaser in making an election under any analogous provisions of state, foreign or local Law, provided, that the election under any analogous provisions of state, foreign or local Law does not have a documented material adverse effect to Seller.

(b) At Closing, Seller shall deliver a duly completed and executed IRS Form 8023 making the Code section 338(h)(10) election with respect to the stock purchase of the Company. Purchaser shall execute such IRS Form and within ten (10) Business Days of the Closing submit such IRS Form to the IRS at the address specified with respect to such form. Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of such jointly executed form within ten (10) Business Days of its mailing to the IRS. Within thirty (30) days of the determination of the Final Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.07 of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deliver proposed allocations schedules allocating the Aggregate Deemed Sales Price, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.338-4, for the Company to the asset classes of the Company. The allocations schedules shall be reasonable and shall be prepared in accordance with Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, and this Section 9.06. The proposed allocation schedules shall be deemed accepted by Seller unless Seller delivers notice to Purchaser within ten (10) days of the delivery of such proposed schedules that it disagrees with all or part of such proposed allocation schedules. If Seller disagrees with the proposed allocation schedules, Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to arrive at agreeable allocations schedules that are in accordance with Code Section 338(h)(10) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on the allocations schedules within twenty (20) days of Seller’s delivery of the notice specified in this section, Seller and Purchaser shall submit any remaining allocation issues to the Independent Accounting Firm which shall act as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations prepared by Purchaser and Seller, and not by independent review, the remaining allocation issues. The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final

-64-

and binding. All the fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be shared equally between Purchaser and Seller. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall prepare and timely file all its respective Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8883) and those of its Affiliates for federal, state, foreign and local Income Tax purposes in a manner consistent with the final allocation schedules as agreed to by the Parties or determined by the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with this Section 9.06, unless otherwise directed by a final determination (within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code or similar state, local or foreign law) of the applicable Governmental Authority. To the extent any adjustment to Purchase Price for the stock of the Company is made, each of the Parties will make corresponding adjustments to the Aggregate Deemed Sales Price and Adjusted Grossed Up Basis in accordance with Code Section 338(h)(10) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and in a manner consistent with the final allocation schedules. Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in good faith in responding to any such challenge in order to preserve the effectiveness of such allocation.

Section 9.07 Disputes.

Any dispute as to any matter covered by this Article 9 shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm and the fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand.

ARTICLE 10.
