(a)                                        Earn-Out Statement.  Promptly, but in any event within thirty five (35) days after the end of the Target Period (as defined on Schedule 2.7), Buyer shall in good faith prepare or cause to be prepared and furnished to the Company a written statement (the “Earn-Out Statement”) setting forth its calculation of the Company Revenues and Operating Margin (each as defined on Schedule 2.7), in each case, prepared in accordance with Schedule 2.7 hereto.  Following receipt of the Earn-Out Statement, the Company shall be afforded a period of twenty (20) days to review the Buyer’s calculation of the Company Revenues and Operating Margin.  At or before the end of the twenty (20) day review period, the Company shall either (i) accept the Earn-Out Statement in its entirety or (ii) deliver to the Buyer a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) setting forth a detailed explanation of those items in or omitted from the Earn-Out Statement that the Company disputes, including the amount thereof (each, an “Item of Dispute”); provided, that the only basis on which the Company shall be permitted to submit an Item of Dispute is that such Item of Dispute was not prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Schedule 2.7, or contains mathematical or clerical errors.  If the Company does not deliver a Dispute Notice to the Buyer within the twenty (20) day review period, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted the Earn-Out Statement in its entirety.  If the Company delivers a Notice of Dispute in which some, but not all, of the items in the Earn-Out Statement are properly disputed, the Company shall be deemed to have accepted all of the items not disputed other than those not directly disputed but which are affected by an Item of Dispute.  The Parties shall and shall cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate fully with Buyer in connection with the preparation of the Earn-Out Statement.  After the delivery of the Earn-Out Statement, Buyer shall cooperate with the Company and its representatives in connection with its review of the Earn-Out Statement, including by providing the Company and its accountants reasonable access during business hours to materials used in the preparation of the Earn-Out Statement.

(b)                                     Company Revenue Record Retention.  During the Target Period and for one (1) year thereafter, Buyer shall keep, and shall cause its Affiliates to keep, complete and accurate books and records of all Company Revenues.  Upon the written request of either of the Representatives, Buyer shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, at the expense of the Representatives, an independent certified public accounting firm of recognized standing, selected by the Representatives and reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, to have access during normal business hours to such of the records of the Buyer as may be reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of the Earn-Out Statement; provided, however, that such accounting firm has entered into a confidentiality agreement in reasonably customary form and substance with the Buyer.

(c)                                      Dispute Resolution by the Parties.  If the Company delivers a Dispute Notice to Buyer within the required twenty (20) day period, Buyer and the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to resolve their differences concerning the Items of Dispute, and if any Item of Dispute is so resolved, the Earn-Out Statement shall be modified as necessary to reflect such resolution.  If all Items of Dispute are so resolved, the Earn-Out Statement (as so modified) shall be conclusive and binding on all Parties.

14

(d)                                 Determination by Independent Accounting Firm.  If any Item of Dispute remains unresolved for a period of fifteen (15) days after Buyer’s receipt of a Dispute Notice, then either the Buyer or the Company may, within five (5) days thereafter, submit the dispute to Ernst & Young (or, if such firm shall decline or is unable to act or is not, at the time of such submission, independent of the Company or the Buyer, to McGladrey & Pullen, LLP), such accounting firm being referred to herein as the “Independent Accounting Firm”).  Buyer and the Company shall each provide their respective calculations of the Company Revenues and Operating Margin and the Items of Dispute in writing to the Independent Accounting Firm and shall request that the Independent Accounting Firm render a written determination, which determination (i) shall be based solely on whether each such Item of Dispute was prepared in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and Schedule 2.7 or whether each such Item of Dispute contains a mathematical or clerical error or errors and (ii) shall not be resolved so the final amount determined by the Independent Accounting Firm is more favorable to the Company than the calculation(s) presented in any Item of Dispute delivered by the Company or more favorable to the Buyer than the calculation(s) presented in any Item of Dispute delivered by Buyer, as to each unresolved Item of Dispute as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its retention, and the Parties shall cooperate fully with the Independent Accounting Firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable.  The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination as to each Item of Dispute submitted to it shall be in writing and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties, absent manifest error or willful misconduct, and the Company Revenues and/or Operating Margin shall be modified to the extent necessary to reflect such determination.  The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the Party whose calculation of the Company Revenues and/or Operating Margin, as applicable, is furthest from the determination rendered by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(e)                                  Final Company Revenues and Operating Margin.  The Company Revenues and Operating Margin shall be deemed final for the purposes of this Section 2.7 upon the earliest of (x) the failure of the Company to provide Buyer with a Dispute Notice within twenty (20) days of the Buyer’s delivery of the Earn-Out Statement, (y) the resolution of all Items of Dispute pursuant to Section 2.7(c) by the Company and the Buyer and (z) the resolution of all Items of Dispute, pursuant to Section 2.7(d), by the Independent Accounting Firm.  Upon the final determination of the Company Revenues and Operating Margin as set forth in this paragraph (d), Buyer shall adjust, if applicable, the Earn-Out Statement accordingly and such adjusted Earn-Out Statement shall be deemed final.

(f)                                    Purchase Price Adjustment.  If the amount of the Company Revenues as reflected on the Final Earn-Out Statement is equal to or greater than the Company Revenue Target as set forth on Schedule 2.7 for the Target Period, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by up to $1 million in accordance with Schedule 2.7.   If the amount of the Operating Margin as reflected on the Final Earn-Out Statement is equal to greater than the Operating Margin Target as set forth on Schedule 2.7 for the Target Period, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward by up to $1 million in accordance with Schedule 2.7.  The post-closing adjustment to the Purchase Price, if any, payable by Buyer to the Company pursuant to this Section 2.7 and Schedule 2.7 hereto shall be paid in cash to the Company in immediately available funds by wire transfer within two (2) Business Days after the Closing Statement becomes final and binding upon the Parties.

SECTION 8.  INDEMNIFICATION AND RELATED MATTERS.

8.1           Survival; Risk Allocation.

(a)           Survival.  All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith shall survive the Closing Date; provided, that solely in the case of representations and warranties, no Party shall be entitled to recover for any Loss pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(b)(i) or Section 8.2(c)(i) unless written notice of a claim made pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.2(e), is delivered in good faith to the other Party prior to the Applicable Limitation Date.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Applicable Limitation Date” shall mean the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the Applicable Limitation Date with respect to certain Losses shall be as follows:

(i)            with respect to any Loss arising from or related to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.19 (Taxes), Section 3.21 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section 3.23 (Environmental Matters), the Applicable Limitation Date shall be the sixtieth (60th) day after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations

47

(including any extensions thereto to the extent that such statute of limitations may be tolled); and

(ii)           with respect to any Loss arising from or related to a breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), Section 3.2 (Authorization of Transactions), Section 3.13(Personal Property), Section 3.27 (Brokerage), Section 4.1 (Authorization of Transactions), Section 4.5 (Brokerage), Section 5.1 (Organization and Corporate Power), Section 5.2 (Authorization of Transactions) and Section 5.5 (Brokerage) (all such sections, collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”), the Applicable Limitation Date shall be the sixtieth (60th) day after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions thereto to the extent that such statute of limitations may be tolled).

For the avoidance of doubt, all covenants and agreements of each Party set forth in this Agreement shall survive until fully satisfied pursuant to the terms thereof.

(b)           Risk Allocation.  The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein, as modified by the Disclosure Schedules, together with the indemnification provisions herein, are intended, among other things, to allocate the economic cost and the risks inherent in the transactions contemplated hereby between the Parties and, accordingly, a Party shall be entitled to indemnification or the other remedies provided in this Agreement by reason of any breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by another Party, notwithstanding whether any employee, representative or agent of the Party seeking to enforce a remedy knew or had reason to know of such breach and regardless of any investigation by such Party.

8.2           Indemnification.

(a)           Indemnification for Company Breaches.  Subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Section 8, after the Closing, the Company and the Members shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (each, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”) from and against any Losses which a Buyer Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or becomes subject to as a result of or in connection with:

(i)            a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including in the Disclosure Schedules or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of the Company in connection herewith or therewith);

(ii)           a breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(iii)          the assertion against any Buyer Indemnified Party of any Excluded Liability;

(iv)          any of the matters disclosed on Schedule 3.15(b)(vi) and Schedule 3.20(c);

48

(v)           any Contracts or arrangements listed on Schedule 3.14(a)(vi) pursuant to Section 3.14(a)(vi); or

(vi)          any claim by any Person with respect to any refund or rebate, other volume-based and similar pricing discounts, warranties arising under any Contract or from any services provided by the Company or employees thereof on or before the Closing Date.

(b)           Indemnification for Buyer Breaches.  Subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Section 8, after the Closing, Buyer and Buyer Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, Members, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses which a Company Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or becomes subject to as the result of or in connection with:

(i)            A breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Buyer Parent contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement;

(ii)           a breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement; or

(iii)          the assertion against any Company Indemnified Party of any Assumed Liability.

(c)           Indemnification for Member Breaches.  Subject to each of the limitations set forth in this Section 8, after the Closing, each Member, on a several and not joint and several basis and only with respect to its own representations, warranties and covenants, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Losses which a Buyer Indemnified Party suffers, sustains or becomes subject to as a result of or in connection with:

(i)            a breach of any representation or warranty made by such Member contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (including in the Disclosure Schedules or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of such Member in connection herewith or therewith); or

(ii)           a breach of any covenant or agreement made by such Member contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

(d)           Limitations on Indemnity.  The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2(a), Section 8.2(b) and Section 8.2(c) above is subject to the following limitations:

(i)            An Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligation in respect of claims made pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(b)(i) or Section 8.2(c)(i), as applicable, unless the Indemnified Party gives written notice of the claim to the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the procedures set forth herein on or before the Applicable Limitation Date.  If the Indemnified Party delivers such written notice of a claim on or prior to the Applicable Limitation Date, then the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligation, if any, in respect of the claims described in the notice shall

49

survive the Applicable Limitation Date, notwithstanding that the representations and warranties on which such claim is based have expired.

(ii)           An Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligation in respect of claims made pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(b)(i) or Section 8.2(c)(i) unless and until the aggregate amount of all Losses incurred by all Buyer Indemnified Parties or Company Indemnified Parties, as applicable, exceeds $150,000 (the “Threshold”), whereupon such Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the indemnification of all Losses from the first dollar; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Threshold limitation shall not apply in respect of any Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party which arise as a result of or in connection with a breach of (A) any of the Fundamental Representations, or (B) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.19 (Taxes), Section 3.21 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section 3.23 (Environmental Matters).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Threshold limitation shall also not apply in respect of any claims made by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii), Section 8.2(a)(iii), Section 8.2(a)(iv), Section 8.2(a)(v) and Section 8.2(a)(vi), Section 8.2(b)(ii) and Section 8.2(b)(iii), or Section 8.2(c)(ii), as applicable.

(iii)          An Indemnifying Party shall have no indemnification obligation in respect of claims made pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i), Section 8.2(b)(i) or Section 8.2(c)(i), as applicable, to the extent that the aggregate amount of Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party under such applicable section exceeds $2,500,000 (the “Cap”); provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cap limitation shall not apply in respect of any Losses incurred by an Indemnified Party which arise as a result of or in connection with a breach of (A) any of the Fundamental Representations, or (B) any representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.19 (Taxes), Section 3.21 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section 3.23 (Environmental Matters).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Cap limitation shall also not apply in respect of any claims made by an Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(ii), Section 8.2(a)(iii), Section 8.2(a)(iv), Section 8.2(a)(v) and Section 8.2(a)(vi), Section 8.2(b)(ii) and Section 8.2(b)(iii), or Section 8.2(c)(ii), as applicable.

(iv)          Subject to Section 8.3, a Buyer Indemnified Party may pursue indemnification claims under Section 8.2(a) against the Company and/or the Members, in its discretion; provided, that no Member shall be liable for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(c) in an amount which exceeds such Member’s Pro Rata Share of the portion of any such indemnifiable Losses which are not paid by the Company.  No Member shall be responsible for indemnification under Section 8.2(c) in respect of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of another Member.  Subject to Section 8.2(h), no Member shall be liable for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(c) for more than the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Cash Purchase Price.

(v)           Solely for purposes of determining the amount of Losses incurred in connection with any indemnification claims made under this Section 8 (but not for purposes of determining whether or not a breach of representation or warranty has first

50

occurred), all representations and warranties set forth herein or in the Disclosure Schedules that are qualified by reference to “material,” “materially,” “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term (collectively, “Materiality Qualifiers”) shall be deemed to have been made without giving effect to such Materiality Qualifiers.

(e)           Procedures.

(i)            Claim Notice.  If a Party wishes to seek indemnification under this Section 8, such Party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) thereof to the Party or Parties from whom it seeks indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) and in the case of the Company and the Members, a Representative; provided, that in the case of any action or lawsuit brought or asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) that would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of the same in writing; provided further, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation hereunder.  The Claim Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim (and in the event the Claim Notice is delivered in respect to Losses for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under Section 8.2(c) hereto, such Claim Notice shall identify the applicable Member), the facts pertaining thereto, and an estimate of Loss which such Indemnified Party claims to have so suffered (the “Claimed Amount”) or a statement that the Indemnified Party has determined that the Claimed Amount is not reasonably ascertainable at such time.

(ii)           Company or Member Claims.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party is the Company or a Member and a Claim Notice (other than in connection with a Third Party Claim) for an amount of Losses that does not exceed the then-current Holdback Amount is received prior to the Release Date (as defined in Section 8.3(b)), the following rules shall apply:

(A)                  Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Representatives of a Claim Notice, the Representatives may deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Representatives: (a) agree that an amount of cash equal to the full Claimed Amount may be released from the Holdback Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Party; (b) agrees that an amount of cash equal to part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (the “Agreed Amount”) may be released from the Holdback Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Party; or (c) indicates that no part of the Holdback Fund may be released from the Holdback Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Party in respect of the Claimed Amount.  Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be released to Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to the Response Notice shall be the “Contested Amount.”

51

(B)                    If the Representatives either (i) fail to deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party within such ten (10) Business Day period or (ii) deliver a Response Notice agreeing that an amount of cash equal to the full Claimed Amount may be released from the Holdback Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Party, the Buyer shall deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party an amount of cash equal to the Claimed Amount.

(C)                    If the Representatives deliver a Response Notice agreeing that an amount of cash equal to less than the full Claimed Amount may be released from the Holdback Fund to the Buyer Indemnified Party, the Representatives shall deliver to the Buyer Indemnified Party such amount of cash equal to the Agreed Amount.

(D)                   (a)  If the Representatives deliver a Response Notice indicating that there is a Contested Amount, Buyer and the Representatives shall attempt to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims.  If Buyer and the Representatives shall reach such agreement, the Representatives shall release such Contested Amount (or portion thereof) to the Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with joint written instructions signed by both Buyer, on behalf of the Buyer Indemnified Party, as applicable, and the Representatives.

(b)       If no such agreement can be reached within twenty (20) calendar days of delivery of the applicable Response Notice after good faith negotiation, either Buyer or the Representatives may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the Loss that is at issue is the subject of a pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration, and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Buyer and the Representatives.  In the event that, within fifteen (15) calendar days after submission of any dispute to arbitration, Buyer and the Representatives cannot mutually agree on one arbitrator, then, within five (5) calendar days after the end of such fifteen (15) calendar-day period, Buyer and the Representatives shall each select one (1) arbitrator.  The two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator, who shall have relevant industry experience, to conduct the arbitration.

(c)       Any arbitration held pursuant to this Section 8.2(e)(ii) shall be held in Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in the City of Boston, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.  The decision of the arbitrator or a majority of the three arbitrators, as the case may be, as to the

52

validity and amount of any claim in such Claim Notice shall be rendered in writing and final, binding, and conclusive upon Buyer, the Buyer Indemnified Party and the Representatives.  The Representatives shall act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Holdback Fund based on such decision.  Arbitration costs, arbitrators’ fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs shall be awarded to the prevailing parties, if any, by the arbitrator.  The parties agree to use their reasonable commercial efforts to cause the arbitration hearing to be conducted within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the arbitrator and to cause the decision of the arbitrator to be furnished within fifteen (15) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing.

(iii)          Third Party Claims.  In the case of any Third Party Claim, if within fifteen (15) days after receiving the notice described in Section 8.2(e)(i) above the Indemnifying Party gives written notice to the Indemnified Party stating (A) that the Indemnifying Party would be liable for indemnity under the provisions hereof if such Third Party Claim were valid, (B) that the Indemnifying Party disputes and intends to defend against such claim and (C) that the Indemnifying Party will be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with or otherwise relating to such claim, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment to the Indemnified Party for the costs of its defense counsel in respect of such Third Party Claim as long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting a good faith and diligent defense; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the right, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle the portion of such Third Party Claim that is subject indemnification; provided, that the settlement (i) does not involve the imposition of an injunction or other equitable relief on the Indemnified Party, and (ii) expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party from all Liabilities with respect to such Third Party Claim (and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances), with prejudice.  The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party apprised of the status of any Third Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense, shall furnish the Indemnified Party with all documents and information that such Indemnified Party reasonably requests, and shall consult with the Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions.  Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of the defense, and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party as incurred, if the Third Party Claim which such Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control of: (1) seeks non-monetary relief; (2) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (3) is one in which an Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named in the complaint, and joint representation by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of ethical conduct; (4) could reasonably be expected to adversely

53

affect the Taxes of the Business for a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date; or (5) involves a claim for which an adverse determination would have a material and adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects.  If notice of intent to dispute and defend is not given by the Indemnifying Party within the time period referenced above, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, then the Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim (exercising reasonable business judgment) in its discretion.  If such Third Party Claim is one that, by its nature, cannot be defended solely by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party shall make available all information and assistance that the Indemnifying Party shall reasonably request, and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense.

(f)            Purchase Price Adjustments.  For all Tax purposes, amounts paid to or on behalf of any Party as indemnification under this Agreement shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(g)           Maximum Contribution.  If and to the extent any provision of this Section 8 is unenforceable for any reason, the Indemnifying Party hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of any Loss for which indemnification is provided for herein that is permissible under applicable legal requirements.

(h)           Exclusive Remedy; Fraud.  From and after the Closing, the indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any Losses resulting from or arising out of any breach or claim in connection with this Agreement, the Disclosure Schedules or any certificate delivered in connection with this Agreement, regardless of the cause of action; provided, however, that neither the foregoing nor anything else contained in this Agreement shall limit a Party’s remedies in the case of fraud, intentional misrepresentation, willful misconduct or gross negligence or in respect of the pursuit of equitable remedies, including injunctive relief and specific performance.  In the event any Party to this Agreement perpetrates a fraud on another Party hereto, the Party that suffers Losses by reason thereof shall be entitled to seek recovery therefor against the Person or Persons who perpetrated such fraud without regard to any limitations set forth in this Agreement (whether a temporal limitation, a dollar limitation or otherwise).

8.3           Holdback Account.

(a)           To the extent that any Buyer Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 8, such Buyer Indemnified Party’s first resort for indemnification shall be an entitlement to reimbursement out of the Holdback Fund; provided, however, to the extent that the Losses exceed the amount remaining in the Holdback Fund or arise after the Survival Date, the Buyer Indemnified Party may recover such Losses first from the Holdback Fund, to the extent available, and then, directly from the Company or the Members subject to the limitations and terms and conditions of this Section 8 (including, without limitation, the limitations in Section 8.1(a) and Section 8.2(d)).

54

(b)           On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), the Buyer shall release to the Company the remaining amount of the Holdback Fund (which for the avoidance of doubt includes all interest accrued on the Holdback Amount) less the aggregate amount of all Losses specified in any then unresolved indemnification claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 8.  To the extent that any amount has been reserved and withheld from distribution from the Holdback Fund on the Release Date on account of an unresolved claim for indemnification and, subsequent to such Release Date, such claim is resolved, the parties shall immediately release (i) to the Buyer Indemnified Parties the amount of Losses, if any, due in respect of such claim as finally determined and (ii) to the Company an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the amount theretofore reserved and withheld from distribution in respect of such claim over the payment, if any, made pursuant to the foregoing clause (i) of this sentence.  The Parties hereto agree that the accrued interest earned on the Holdback Account shall be added to the corpus of the Holdback Fund and shall be available to fund indemnity claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 8.  All Parties hereto agree for all Tax purposes that: (i) Buyer shall be treated as the owner of the Holdback Account, and all interest and earnings earned from the investment and reinvestment of the Holdback Account, or any portion thereof, shall be allocable to Buyer pursuant to Section 468B(g) of the Code and Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8 and (ii) if and to the extent any amount of the Holdback Account is actually distributed to the Company, interest may be imputed on such amount, as required by Section 483 or 1274 of the Code.   All Parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree, except as otherwise required pursuant to a determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any comparable provision of state or local law), to treat each of the Holdback Amount and the post-closing adjustment payable to the Company pursuant to Section 2.7 as installment obligations for purposes of Section 453 of the Code and not as compensation or wages for any Tax purpose, and no Party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with such characterization.

SECTION 9.  TERMINATION.

9.1           Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)           by mutual written consent of the Company, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand;

(b)           by the Company, upon written notice to Buyer, if an event occurs or a condition exists that has made it impossible to satisfy, on or before the Termination Date (as defined below), a condition precedent to the Company’s obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, unless the Company’s breach of this Agreement has caused the condition to be unsatisfied;

(c)           by Buyer, upon written notice to the Company, if an event occurs or a condition exists that has made it impossible to satisfy, on or before the Termination Date, a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, unless Buyer’s breach of this Agreement has caused the condition to be unsatisfied; or

(d)           by the Company, on the one hand, or Buyer, on the other hand, if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to March 15, 2010 (the “Termination Date”); provided,

55

however, that neither Buyer nor the Company shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) if such Party’s or Parties’ breach of this Agreement has prevented the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby at or prior to such time.

9.2           Effect of Termination.  In the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no obligation or liability on the part of any Party to any other Party or its stockholders, members, Affiliates, directors or officers under this Agreement, except that (a) the provisions of Section 11 shall continue in full force and effect and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

SECTION 10.  APPOINTMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE.

10.1         Powers of Attorney.  Each Member irrevocably constitutes and appoints the each of the Representatives as such Member’s true and lawful agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact and agent and authorizes the Representatives acting for such Member and in such Member’s name, place and stead, in any and all capacities to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to be done by such Member or the Representatives hereunder or otherwise in connection with the agreements and transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Member might or could do in person, including:

(a)           deliver all notices required to be delivered by such Member under this Agreement, including any notice of a claim for which indemnification is sought under Section 8.2;

(b)           receive all notices required to be delivered to such Member under this Agreement, including any notice of a claim for which indemnification is sought under Section 8.2;

(c)           take any and all action on behalf of such Member from time to time as the Representatives may deem necessary or desirable to defend, pursue, resolve and/or settle disputes or claims under this Agreement, including claims for indemnification under Section 8.2;

(d)           vote or consent on behalf of the Members with respect to matters under this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and

(e)           engage and employ agents and representatives (including accountants, legal counsel and other professionals) and to incur such other expenses as deemed necessary or prudent in connection with the administration of the foregoing.

Each Member grants unto said attorney-in-fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Representatives may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.  The foregoing authorization is granted and conferred in consideration for the various agreements and covenants of the Members and each Member, by executing this Agreement, agrees that such agency, proxy and power of attorney are coupled with an interest, and are therefore irrevocable without the

56

consent of the Representatives and Buyer, and shall survive the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of such Member.  Each Member acknowledges and agrees that upon execution of this Agreement, any delivery by the Representatives of any waiver, amendment, agreement, opinion, certificate or other document executed by the Representatives or any decision made by the Representatives pursuant to the authority conferred upon such Representatives pursuant to this Section 10.1, such Person shall be bound by such document or decision as fully as if such Member had executed and delivered such document or made such decision.  Any actions permitted to be taken by the Representatives hereunder shall require the consent or action of both Representatives; provided, further, if at any time there is only one person or entity serving as Representative, action taken by him, her or it shall be sufficient to constitute any action required or permitted to be taken by jointly the Representatives pursuant to this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any representation made to it by any Representative with respect to such Representative’s authority to act pursuant to this Section 10.1.

10.2         Liability.  The Representatives shall not have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Member, except in respect of amounts received on behalf of such Member.  The Representatives shall not be liable to any Member for any action taken or omitted by the Representatives or any agent employed by him hereunder or under any other Ancillary Agreement, or in connection therewith, except that the Representatives shall not be relieved of any liability imposed by law for willful misconduct.  The Representatives shall not be liable to the Members for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by him in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any Member to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the other Members any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled.  The Representatives shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement.

10.3         Replacement of the Representatives.  Upon the death, disability or incapacity of either of the initial Representatives appointed pursuant to Section 10.1 above, each Member acknowledges and agrees that such Representative’s executor, guardian or legal representative, as the case may be, shall appoint a replacement reasonably believed by such person (and reasonably approved by Buyer) as capable of carrying out the duties and performing the obligations of the Representatives hereunder within thirty (30) days.  In the event that either of the Representatives resigns for any reason, the Representative shall, subject to Buyer’s approval, select another representative to fill such vacancy.  Any substituted representative shall be deemed a Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.

10.4         Actions of the Representatives; Liability of the Representatives.  Each of the Company and each Member agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Representatives on behalf of the Members pursuant to Section 10.1 above (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Member as fully as if such Member had taken such Authorized Action.  Buyer agrees that the Representatives shall have no liability to Buyer for any Authorized Action, except to the extent that such Authorized Action is found by a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction to have constituted willful misconduct.  Each Member, severally and not jointly, on a pro-rata basis based on his respective Pro Rata

57

Share, agrees to pay, and to indemnify and hold harmless, each of the Buyer Indemnified Parties from and against any Loss that they may suffer, sustain, or become subject to as the result of any claim by any Person that an Authorized Action is not binding on, or enforceable against, the Members (and each Member expressly waives and disclaims any such claim against the Buyer Indemnified Parties).  In addition, the Members hereby release and discharge Buyer from and against any liability arising out of or in connection with either of the Representative’s failure to distribute any amounts received by the Representatives on the Members’ behalf to the Members.

10.5         Indemnification of Representative.  Each Member, severally and not jointly, on a pro rata basis based on his respective Pro Rata Share, indemnifies the Representatives and his agents and holds the Representatives and their respective agents harmless against any Loss incurred in good faith by or on behalf of the Representatives and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Representatives.

SECTION 11.  MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1         Amendment.  This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by or on behalf of Buyer, the Company and each of the Representatives or (b) by a waiver in accordance with Section 11.2.

11.2         Waiver.  Any Party to this Agreement may waive compliance or performance of any provision of this Agreement that is intended for the benefit of such waiving Party.  Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a writing executed by the Party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of any term or condition shall not be construed as a wavier of any subsequent breach or waiver of the same term or condition or as a waiver of any other term or condition of this Agreement.  The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Section 11.2 shall not constitute a waiver of any of such rights.  No course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement.  All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 8 herein, are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

11.3         Bulk Sales Laws.  Buyer hereby waives compliance by the Company with the provisions of any applicable bulk sales, fraudulent conveyance or other Law for the protection of creditors in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets under this Agreement; provided, that the Company hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for any failure by the Company to so comply in the manner provided in Section 8.

11.4         Specific Performance.  Each of the Company and each Member agrees and acknowledges that the Company’s business is unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of Section 6.10, money damages may be inadequate and Buyer may have no adequate remedy at law.  Accordingly, each of the Company and each Member agrees that Buyer shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights and the Company’s and each such Member’s obligations thereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for equitable relief, including

58

injunction and specific performance.  If any such action is brought by Buyer to enforce Section 6.10, each of the Company and each Member hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law or the requirement for the posting of any bond or similar security.

11.5         Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each of the Parties hereto shall pay all of its own fees, costs and expenses (including fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

11.6         Notices.  All notices, claims, demands and other communications given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when personally delivered, mailed by first class mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by express courier service or via facsimile (with original copy to follow) to the respective Parties at the following addresses (or such other address for a Party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 11.6):

59

11.7         Binding Agreement; Assignment.  This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Company, each of the Representatives and Buyer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may at any time in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Party assign, in whole or in part, (a) its right to purchase the Purchased Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities to one or more of its Affiliates (provided that no such assignment shall release Buyer from its obligations hereunder); (b) its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements for collateral security purposes to any lender providing financing to Buyer, such permitted assign or any of their Affiliates, and any such lender may exercise all of the rights and remedies of such assignee hereunder and thereunder; and (c) its rights under this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements to any subsequent purchaser of Buyer or any of its divisions or any material portion of its assets (whether such sale is structured as a sale of stock, sale of assets, merger, recapitalization or otherwise).

11.8         Severability.  Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law or public policy, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and all other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.

11.9         Disclosure Schedules.  The representations and warranties contained herein shall be subject to the disclosures contained in the Disclosure Schedule.  The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged according to specific sections and shall provide exceptions to, or otherwise qualify in reasonable detail, only the corresponding section in Section 3 and any other section hereof where it is clear, upon a reading of such disclosure without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter disclosed, that the disclosure is intended to apply to such other section.

11.10       Construction.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the other agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith with sophisticated counsel.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by

60

virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments executed and delivered in connection herewith.  The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.  If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) that the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.  The word “including” shall mean “including without limitation” regardless of whether such words are included in some contexts but not others.  Unless otherwise indicated, the terms defined in this Agreement include the plural as well as the singular forms of such terms. The use in this Agreement of the masculine pronoun in reference to a party hereto shall be deemed to include the feminine or neuter, as the context may require.

11.11       Captions.  The captions used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no caption had been used in this Agreement.

11.12       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, the Schedules identified in this Agreement and the other documents referred to herein contain the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

11.13       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

11.14       Governing Law.  All question concerning the construction, validity and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed in that State, without regard to its conflicts with laws provisions.

11.15       Parties in Interest.  Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and assigns any rights or remedies under or by virtue of this Agreement, except that any Person that is a Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to enforce the obligations contained in Section 8 herein.

11.16       CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT JURISDICTION AND VENUE IN ANY ACTION BROUGHT BY ANY PARTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PROPERLY AND EXCLUSIVELY LIE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.  BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION.  THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT VENUE WOULD BE PROPER IN SUCH COURT, AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTION THAT SUCH COURT IS AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE RESOLUTION OF SUCH ACTION.  THE PARTIES

61

FURTHER AGREE THAT THE MAILING BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, OF ANY PROCESS REQUIRED BY ANY SUCH COURT SHALL CONSTITUTE VALID AND LAWFUL SERVICE OF PROCESS AGAINST THEM, WITHOUT NECESSITY FOR SERVICE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PROVIDED BY STATUTE OR RULE OF COURT.

11.17       WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

11.18       Press Releases and Announcements; Confidentiality.  On or prior to the Closing, no press release or public statement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or other announcement to the employees or customers of the Company, shall be issued without the prior written consent of the Buyer and each of the Representatives, except as required by applicable law.  The Parties shall keep confidential the subject matter described herein and the fact that negotiations are taking place until the content and timing of a public announcement are mutually agreed upon or until the Closing, whichever is earlier, and, in such case such public announcement shall be made only in accordance with this Section 11.18, in which case such disclosure shall be prepared by the Buyer subject to the Buyer’s informing the Representatives prior to any disclosure and providing the Representatives an opportunity to comment.

11.19       Releases.  Each Member who is an employee of the Company (for himself or herself and his or her heirs, assigns or executors) releases and forever discharges Buyer and all of its subsidiaries and Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, agents, equityholders and employees, from any and all claims, suits, demands, causes of action, contracts, covenants, obligations, debts, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, by statute or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected or unsuspected, and whether or not concealed or hidden, which have existed or may have existed, or which do exist, through the Closing Date, which relate in any way to his or her employment with the Company or the termination of that employment, except those arising under this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.  Such released claims include, without limitation, any and all claims of employment discrimination under any local, state or federal law or ordinance, including Title VII or the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; or the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Civil Rights Act of 1966, as amended; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters.
