Within 60 days after Purchaser’s receipt of the AICPA Audited Financial Statements, Purchaser shall prepare, at Purchaser’s expense, and deliver to the Sellers, a written statement setting forth Purchaser’s calculations of the amount of (i) the Closing Company Cash, (ii) the Closing Indebtedness, and (iii) the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto (the “Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement”), which calculations shall be made, as applicable, in accordance with the Closing Net Working Capital delivered by the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.2 and the definition of Net Working Capital (“Purchaser’s Calculations”). The Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement shall contain a recalculation of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price based on Purchaser’s Calculations. In the event that the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement determined by Purchaser results in an adjustment of $250,000 or

18

less (regardless of whether the difference is positive or negative), when compared with the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement determined by Sellers, then the parties hereto agree that the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement shall be the final determination between the parties, and no adjustment between the parties shall be made pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(b)    Disputes as to Purchase Price Calculations. In the event that the resulting adjustment under (a) above is greater than $250,000, then within 30 days after receipt of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement, the Sellers’ shall notify Purchaser in writing of their agreement or disagreement with the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and any of Purchaser’s Calculations (and, during such 30-day period, Purchaser shall grant to the Sellers and their accountants reasonable access to all work papers, facilities, schedules and calculations used in the preparation of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and/or Purchaser’s Calculations). If the Sellers dispute any aspect of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement or any of Purchaser’s Calculations, the Sellers shall so notify Purchaser within such 30-day period, and the Sellers shall have the right, and shall have the right to direct their accountants, to review and verify the accuracy of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement. If the Sellers do not notify Purchaser of their dispute with respect to any aspect of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement or any of Purchaser’s Calculations within such 30-day period, then the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and Purchaser’s Calculations set forth therein shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Sellers. In the event of a dispute, the Sellers and, at their option, their accountants shall complete their review and verification of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement within 30 days after the Sellers’ receipt thereof and, if the Sellers or their accountants, after such review and verification, still disagree with Purchaser’s Calculations, the Sellers shall submit their proposed alternative calculations of the amount of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto and the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price and the other components thereof (“Sellers’ Calculations”) to Purchaser in writing within 30 days after the Sellers’s receipt of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement. If Purchaser does not reject Sellers’ Calculations by written notice given to the Sellers within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ Calculations, then the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and Purchaser’s Calculations contained therein, as modified by Sellers’ Calculations, shall be conclusive and binding upon Purchaser and Sellers. If Purchaser rejects Sellers’ Calculations by written notice given to the Sellers within 30 days after Purchaser’s receipt of Sellers’ Calculations, then, at the request of either Purchaser or the Sellers, the Sellers and Purchaser shall select a mutually acceptable and nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Independent Accounting Firm”) to resolve the remaining disputed items (the “Remaining Disputed Items”) by conducting the Independent Accounting Firm’s own review and verification of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement, and thereafter selecting either Sellers’ Calculations of the Remaining Disputed Items or Purchaser’s Calculations of the Remaining Disputed Items or an amount in between the two. Sellers and Purchaser shall be bound by the determination of the Remaining Disputed Items by the Independent Accounting Firm. Purchaser and the Sellers shall execute, if requested by the Independent Accounting Firm, an engagement letter containing reasonable and customary terms. Sellers (in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions) and Purchaser shall each pay their own costs and

19

expenses incurred under this Section 3.4(b). The costs and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne by Sellers (in the aggregate and which amount shall be paid in accordance with Sellers’ respective Allocable Portions) and Purchaser in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocation between Sellers and Purchaser shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the Remaining Disputed Items as originally submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm by Sellers and Purchaser, and shall be determined by the Independent Accounting Firm at the time the determination is rendered on the merits of the Remaining Disputed Items submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. For example, if the Remaining Disputed Items total an amount equal to $1,000 and the Independent Accounting Firm awards $600 in favor of Sellers’ position, 60% of the costs of its review would be borne by Purchaser and 40% of the costs would be borne by Sellers.

(c)     Payment After Recalculation. Upon the final determination, in accordance with Section 3.4(b), of the Final Purchase Price Calculation Statement and the final calculations of the amounts of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Adjustment calculated by reference thereto, the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price shall be recalculated using such finally determined amounts in lieu of the estimates of such amounts used in the calculation of the estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price calculated at or before the Closing.

(i)    If the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as recalculated pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), is greater than such estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, then pursuant to Section 3.4(d) Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Sellers the amount of any such excess, for distribution to Sellers in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions thereof.

(ii)    If the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as recalculated pursuant to this Section 3.4(c), is less than such estimated Aggregate Cash Purchase Price as set forth on the Estimated Purchase Price Calculation Statement, then pursuant to Section 3.4(d) the Post Closing Cash Payment shall be reduced by the amount of such deficiency; provided, that, if the deficiency is greater than the Post Closing Cash Payment then Sellers shall, in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions, pay or cause to be paid to Purchaser the amount of such deficiency by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d)    Post-Closing Payment. On or before January 31, 2024, or upon final settlement of any Remaining Disputed Items or disputes arising under Article VIII hereto (but only to the extent such dispute(s) have been properly brought prior to January 31, 2024, and then only to the extent of the claimed amount of any such properly brought dispute), whichever is later, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid the Post Closing Cash Payment, plus any excess amounts calculated pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(i) or less any deficiencies calculated pursuant to Section 3.4(c)(ii), as applicable, to Sellers in the amounts set forth on the Sellers’ Schedule, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Sellers. Any adjustments made pursuant to Section 3.4(c) shall be deemed to be adjustments to the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price for all purposes, including Tax purposes.

Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, the Companies, and any other applicable payor will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments made hereunder such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to such payments under the Code or any other provision of applicable Law.

the transferee of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (vi) being a “Permitted Transferee”; provided, however, that in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) through (v), these Permitted Transferees must enter into a written agreement with BAER agreeing to be bound by the transfer restrictions herein (it being understood that any references to “immediate family” in the agreement executed by such transferee shall expressly refer only to the immediate family of the Seller and not to the immediate family of the transferee), agreeing to be bound by these transfer restrictions. For purposes of this Section 7.13(c), “immediate family” shall mean a spouse, domestic partner, child, grandchild or other lineal descendant (including by adoption), father, mother, brother or sister of the Seller; and “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

7.14    Registration Rights.

(a)    Not later than 45 days after the Closing Date, at its expense, BAER shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-1 or any successor form thereto and covering all BAER Share Consideration providing for the resale pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect, “Rule 415”) of the BAER Share Consideration and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, and ten (10) Business Days after BAER is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. In connection with the Registration Statement the Parties shall enter into an agreement, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Sellers (including with respect to cost), regarding Sellers’ resale of the shares of BAER Common Stock which shall provide for the resale of such shares of BAER Common Stock to be managed by BAER, with the assistance of an investment bank selected by BAER, over a thirty (30) day period, with the cash derived therefrom being delivered to Sellers at the closing of each respective sale of the BAER Common Stock. At least 10 Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 7.14(a), BAER shall notify each Seller in writing of the information reasonably necessary about such Seller or, prior to the Closing, the Company to include such Seller’s Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, where BAER timely provides such notice to the Sellers, BAER shall not be obligated to include such Seller’s Registrable Securities to the extent BAER has not received such information, and received any other reasonably requested agreements or certificates, on or prior to the third Business Day prior to the first anticipated filing date of the Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 7.14(a).

48

(b)    BAER will use its best efforts to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement, including, inter alia, preparing and promptly filing with the SEC such amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities until all shares of BAER Common Stock constituting the BAER Share Consideration cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period upon which all Sellers with Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement have notified BAER that such Registrable Securities have actually been sold. BAER will use its best efforts to (i) cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any shares of BAER Common Stock being sold under the Registration Statement or (to the extent available) pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the SEC, “Rule 144”) at the time of sale of such Registrable Securities and, at the request of a Seller following the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, cause the removal of all restrictive legends from any Registrable Securities held by such Seller that may be sold by such Seller without restriction under Rule 144, including, any volume and manner of sale restrictions, and (ii) cause its legal counsel to deliver the necessary legal opinions, if any, to the transfer agent in connection with the instruction under subclause (i) upon the receipt of such supporting documentation, if any, as reasonably requested by such counsel. “Registrable Securities” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the BAER Share Consideration and any other equity security issued or issuable with respect to BAER Share Consideration by way of share split, dividend, distribution, recapitalization, merger, exchange, replacement or similar event, provided, however, that such securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities at the earliest of (A) the third anniversary of the effective date of the Registration Statement, (B) the date all BAER Share Consideration held by a Seller may be sold by such Seller without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144 and without the requirement for BAER to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) as set forth in a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed, delivered and reasonably acceptable to the applicable transfer agent and the holders of such BAER Share Consideration, (C) the date on which all of a Seller’s BAER Share Consideration has actually been sold by such Seller, or (D) when all of such Seller’s BAER Share Consideration shall have ceased to be outstanding.

(c)    At its expense, BAER shall:

(i)    advise the Sellers within two Business Days: (A) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement or the initiation of any proceedings for such purpose; (B) of the receipt by BAER of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the BAER Share Consideration included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and (C) the occurrence of any event that requires the making of any changes in any Registration Statement or the prospectus forming a part thereof so that, as of such date, the statements

49

therein are not misleading and do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, BAER shall not, when so advising the Sellers of such events, provide the Sellers with any material, nonpublic information regarding BAER other than to the extent that providing notice to the Sellers of the occurrence of the events listed in (A) through (C) above constitutes material, nonpublic information regarding BAER;

(ii)    use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of any stop order by the SEC suspending the effectiveness of any Registration Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable;

(iii)    upon the occurrence of any event contemplated in Section 7.14(c)(i), except for such times as BAER is permitted hereunder to suspend, and has suspended, the use of the Prospectus forming part of the Registration Statement, BAER shall use its best efforts to as promptly as reasonably practicable prepare a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related prospectus, or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of the Registrable Securities included therein, such prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(iv)    use its best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange or market, if any, on which the BAER Common Stock is then listed; and

(v)    use its best efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

(d)    BAER shall be entitled to delay or postpone the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and from time to time to require any Seller not to sell under the Registration Statement or to suspend the effectiveness thereof, if the negotiation or consummation of a transaction by BAER or its subsidiaries is pending or an event has occurred, which negotiation, consummation or event, BAER’s board of directors reasonably believes, would require additional disclosure by BAER in the Registration Statement of material information that BAER has a bona fide business purpose for keeping confidential and the non-disclosure of which in the Registration Statement would be expected, in the reasonable determination of BAER’s board of directors, to cause the Registration Statement to fail to comply with applicable disclosure requirements (each such circumstance, a “Suspension Event”); provided, however, that BAER may not delay or suspend the effectiveness or use of the Registration Statement for more than 60 consecutive calendar days in any one instance or more than 120 total calendar days, in each case during any 12-month period. Upon receipt of any written notice from BAER of the happening of any Suspension Event (which notice shall not contain material non-public information) during the period that the Registration Statement is effective or if as a result of a Suspension

50

Event the Registration Statement or related prospectus contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (in the case of the prospectus) not misleading, each Seller agrees that (i) it will immediately discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, sales conducted pursuant to Rule 144) until such Seller receives copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus (which BAER agrees to promptly prepare) that corrects the misstatement(s) or omission(s) referred to above and receives notice that any post-effective amendment has become effective or unless otherwise notified by BAER that it may resume such offers and sales, and (ii) it will maintain the confidentiality of any information included in such written notice delivered by BAER unless otherwise required by Law or subpoena. If so directed by BAER, each Seller will deliver to BAER or, in such Seller’s sole discretion, destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities in such Seller’s possession; provided, however, that this obligation to deliver or destroy all copies of the prospectus covering the Registrable Securities shall not apply (i) to the extent such Seller is required to retain a copy of such prospectus (a) in order to comply with applicable legal, regulatory, self-regulatory or professional requirements or (b) in accordance with a bona fide pre-existing document retention policy or (ii) to copies stored electronically on archival servers as a result of automatic data back-up.

(e)    Each Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless BAER and any of their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, investment advisers and employees, and each person who controls BAER (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) and expenses that arise out of or are based upon any violation or alleged violation by BAER of the Securities Act, Securities Exchange Act or any state securities law or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Section 7.14 to the extent, that such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements, omissions or alleged omissions are based upon information regarding the Seller or furnished or confirmed in writing to BAER by such Seller expressly for use therein or such Seller has omitted a material fact from such information or otherwise violated the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act or any state securities Law or any rule or regulation thereunder; provided, however, that the obligation to indemnify shall be several, not joint and several, among such Sellers, and the liability of each such Seller shall be in proportion to and limited to the net proceeds received by such Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(f)    With a view to making available to each Seller the benefits of Rule 144, BAER agrees, until a Seller no longer holds Registrable Securities, to:

(i)    make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

51

(ii)    file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of BAER under the Securities Exchange Act so long as BAER remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

(iii)    furnish to each Seller, promptly upon request a written statement by BAER, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 and the Exchange Act.

7.15    Assignment. Prior to the expiration of the Lock-Up Period, no Seller who is subject to any such Lock-Up Period may assign or delegate such Seller’s rights, duties or obligations under Sections 7.13 and 7.14, in whole or in part, in violation of the Lock-Up Period, except in connection with a transfer of Registrable Securities by such Seller to a Permitted Transferee but only if such Permitted Transferee agrees to become bound as a Seller by equivalent transfer restrictions as such Registrable Securities were subject to prior to such assignment or delegation as set forth in this Agreement. No assignment by any Seller of such Seller’s rights, duties and obligations under Sections 7.13 and 7.14 shall be binding upon or obligate BAER unless and until BAER shall have received (i) written notice of such assignment in accordance with Section 10.1 hereof and (ii) the written agreement of the assignee, in a form reasonably satisfactory to BAER, to be bound by the terms and provisions of Sections 7.13 and 7.14 (which may be accomplished by an addendum or certificate of joinder to this Agreement). Any transfer or assignment of such Seller’s rights, duties or obligations under Sections 7.13 and 7.14 made other than as provided in this Section 7.15 shall be null and void.

7.16    Investigation; No Reliance by Sellers.

(a)    Each Seller acknowledges that (i) it and its Representatives have undertaken an independent investigation, examination, analysis and verification of BAER and the business, assets, operations, financial condition and prospects of BAER, including such Sellers’s own estimate of the value of the business of BAER; (ii) it has received and had an opportunity to review all requested information regarding the business and the assets, liabilities, financial condition, cash flow and operations of BAER; (iii) all materials and information requested by such Seller have been provided to such Seller to such Seller’s reasonable satisfaction; and (iv) it has undertaken such due diligence (including a review of the assets, liabilities, books, records and contracts of BAER) as such Seller deems adequate, including that described above. In connection with such investigation, each Seller and its Representatives have received from or on behalf of BAER and/or Purchaser certain estimates, budgets, forecasts, plans and financial projections (collectively, the “BAER Forward-Looking Statements”). Each Seller acknowledges that (x) there are uncertainties inherent in making the BAER Forward-Looking Statements, (y) it is familiar with such uncertainties, and (z) it is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all BAER Forward-Looking Statements so furnished to it and its Representatives (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying the BAER Forward-Looking Statements where such assumptions are explicitly disclosed). None of Purchaser, BAER, nor any other Person is making any representation or warranty with respect to, or will have or be subject to any liability to any Seller, or any other Person resulting from, the delivery to any Seller, or its use of, the BAER Forward-Looking Statements.

52

(b)    In connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, no Seller has relied upon, and each Seller expressly waives and releases Purchaser and BAER from any liability for any claims (including claims based upon fraudulent inducement) relating to or arising from, any representation, warranty, statement, advice, document, projection or other information of any type provided by Purchaser, BAER, or their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, except for those representations and warranties of Purchase and/or BAER expressly set forth in Article IV.

7.17    Limitation of Representations and Warranties. Except for the representations and warranties expressly set forth in Article IV, Purchaser and BAER are not making and shall not be deemed to have made any other representations or warranties, written or oral, statutory, express or implied, concerning the BAER Share Consideration, BAER, or the businesses, assets or liabilities of BAER. EACH SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, PURCHASER AND BAER HAVE NOT MADE, AND PURCHASER AND BAER HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM AND NEGATE, AND EACH SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO, AND EACH SELLER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION AGAINST, PURCHASER, BAER, AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES IN CONNECTION WITH, THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS OR MATERIALITY OF ANY INFORMATION, DATA OR OTHER MATERIALS (WRITTEN OR ORAL) OR DOCUMENTS FURNISHED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO ANY SELLER OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES BY OR ON BEHALF OF PURCHASER OR BAER INCLUDING BAER FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, NEITHER PURCHASER NOR BAER IS MAKING ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO ANY SELLER WITH RESPECT TO ANY BAER FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS OR THE INFORMATION SET FORTH IN ANY SUMMARY, TEASER, CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION MEMORANDUM OR MANAGEMENT PRESENTATION DELIVERED TO ANY SELLER OR REPRESENTATIVES OR AFFILIATES OF A SELLER.

7.18    Covenant Not to Compete or Solicit Business; Confidential Nature of Information.

(a)    In furtherance of the sale of the Equity Interests to Purchaser hereunder by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby and to protect more effectively the value and goodwill of the Companies being sold to Purchaser, Sellers covenant and agree that for a period ending on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Sellers shall not, directly or indirectly (whether as principal, agent, independent contractor, partner or otherwise):

(i)    own, manage, operate, control, participate in, perform services for, or otherwise carry on in the United States a business similar to or competitive with that of the Companies;

53

(ii)    solicit, induce or attempt to persuade any agent, supplier, customer or prospective customer of the Companies to terminate, reduce or limit or not enter into its agency or business relationship with the Companies; or

(iii)    hire, solicit, induce or attempt to persuade or assist any person who is or was an employee of the Companies during the twelve (12) month period before the Closing to leave the employment of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies) or assist any such employee in finding new employment opportunities; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not prohibit a general solicitation through the media that is not targeted at employees of the Companies or the Companies Affiliates, or with respect to any such employee who left such employment at least six months prior (and without otherwise violating this provision above);

(iv)    make (or cause to be made) to any Person any disparaging, derogatory or other negative or false statement about the Companies, Purchaser, or any of Purchaser’s Affiliates;

provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 7.18 shall prohibit a Seller from owning not in excess of 5% in the aggregate of any class of capital stock of any corporation if such stock is publicly traded and listed on any national or regional stock exchange.

(b)    From and after the Closing, Sellers shall, and shall cause Sellers’ agents and other representatives to, hold, in confidence any information, whether written or oral, concerning the Company and not use any such information for any purpose other than as specified in this Agreement or in connection with their continued employment relationship with the Company (if any), except to the extent that such information (a) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Sellers, any of its Affiliates or their employees, agents and other representatives; or (b) is lawfully acquired by Seller from and after the Closing from sources which are not to Sellers’ actual Knowledge prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Sellers or any of its agents and other representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other Laws, Sellers shall (to the extent legally permissible) promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which it is advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(c)    If a Seller violates any of its obligations under this Section 7.18, Purchaser may proceed against such Seller in law or in equity for such damages or other relief as a court may deem appropriate. Seller hereby acknowledges that a violation of this

54

Section 7.18 may cause Purchaser irreparable harm which may not be adequately compensated for by money damages. Seller therefore agrees that in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Section 7.18, Purchaser shall be entitled, in addition to other remedies that it may have, to a temporary restraining order and to preliminary and final injunctive relief against Seller to prevent any violations of this Section 7.18, without the necessity of posting a bond. The prevailing party in any action commenced under this Section 7.18 shall also be entitled to receive reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this Section 7.18, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section 7.18 is found to be unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency.

7.19    Guaranty of Purchaser Obligations by BAER. BAER hereby guarantees (this “Guaranty”) (a) the full, prompt and complete payment of all amounts set forth under this Agreement, and (b) the full performance and observance of all covenants, terms, conditions and agreements in this Agreement provided to be performed and observed by Purchaser (collectively, the “Obligations”). If Purchaser shall fail to perform or default at any time hereunder (following the expiration of any applicable cure period provided hereby) in the performance of the Obligations, BAER shall, on written demand of Sellers or the Company, forthwith faithfully perform and fulfill all of such Obligations of Purchaser strictly in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof. This Guaranty is an absolute, continuing and unconditional Guaranty of payment and of performance, and is enforceable against BAER, without the necessity for any suit or proceedings on the part of the Sellers or the Company of any kind or nature whatsoever, against the Purchaser. BAER hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the obligations of BAER hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected or impaired by reason of the assertion or the failure to assert by the Sellers or the Company against the Purchaser of any of the rights and remedies reserved to the Sellers or the Company pursuant to the provisions hereof. This Guaranty shall remain and continue in full force and effect for the entire term hereof, including any renewals or extensions thereof, provided this Guaranty shall survive the term hereof to the extent any Obligations survive the term hereof. Sellers may enforce the terms of this Guaranty with respect to any breach or default which occurred during the term hereof, including any renewals or extensions thereof.

7.20    Disclosure Schedules Updates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Sellers and the Company shall have the right to amend or supplement any Disclosure Schedules from time to time without Purchaser’s consent to the extent that (whether or not the facts or circumstances arose before or after the Effective Date) the Disclosure Schedules need to be amended or supplemented to maintain the truth or accuracy of the applicable representation or warranty or the information disclosed therein, by providing a written copy of such amendment or supplement to Purchaser. If at any time prior to the Closing Sellers and the Company make any such amendment or supplement to the Disclosure Schedules (each, a “New Disclosure Item”), and such New Disclosure Item would, in Purchaser’s good faith determination, result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company, then Purchaser, as its sole remedy under this Agreement (and Article VIII remedies shall be inapplicable thereto), shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. Any such election to terminate this Agreement shall be made by Purchaser by written notice thereof given to Sellers not later than five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of notice from Sellers of such New Disclosure Item (but, in any event, prior to

55

the Closing), provided that any election by Purchaser to terminate this Agreement shall not be effective unless Sellers fail to cure the fact or circumstance giving rise to such New Disclosure Item within thirty (30) days following the delivery of Purchaser’s termination notice. If Sellers elect to cure the fact or circumstance giving rise to such New Disclosure Item following Purchaser’s timely delivery of termination notice, Sellers shall be entitled to a reasonable adjournment of the Closing (not to exceed thirty (30) days) for the purpose of pursuing and completing such cure.

7.21    Reimbursement of Insurance Finance Payments. The amount included within Closing Indebtedness with respect to the First Insurance Premium Finance Agreement (in the approximate amount of $609,792 as of the date hereof, as set forth in Schedule 6.10) relates to insurance that is fronted and paid for by the Company and reimbursed by Huntington Ingalls Industries (or an affiliate thereof) over time. BAER and the Company acknowledge and agree that all such amounts shall included within Closing Indebtedness payable by Purchaser.

7.22    Distribution of the Eisele Indebtedness. Prior to the Closing, the parties agree that the Company shall distribute the Eisele Indebtedness to the Sellers, according to their Allocable Portions, and following Closing the Company shall have no further interest in the Eisele Indebtedness.

ARTICLE VIII

REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT

8.1    Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be deemed and construed to be continuing representations, warranties, covenants and agreements and shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of all parties to this Agreement shall, except as set forth in the remainder of this Section 8.1, expire and be of no further force or effect on the date which is 15 months after the Closing Date; provided further, that (a) the Fundamental Representations shall survive for the applicable statutory limitations period (including all periods of extension); (b) Section 6.19 (Tax Matters) shall survive until 60 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations (including all periods of extensions); (c) Section 6.20 (Environmental, Health and Safety Matters) shall survive for two years after the Closing Date; (d) the other provisions of this Agreement in which a time period is specified shall survive for the period specified therein; (e) the obligations of BAER under Section 7.14 hereof shall continue for the time period specified therein; and (f) unless otherwise indicated, the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing until they have been performed or satisfied.

8.2    Indemnification.

(a)    By Sellers. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, Sellers (on a several and not joint basis) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Damages which any such Purchaser Indemnitee shall suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of or with respect to (i) the breach by Sellers of any of the representations and warranties made by Sellers in Article VI, (ii) the breach by Sellers or, at any time prior to the Closing, the Companies of any of their respective covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement

56

or any other Transaction Document, or (iii) Pre-Closing Taxes that have not otherwise been paid on or prior to the Closing Date except to the extent such Pre-Closing Taxes are taken into account in calculating the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as finally determined under Section 3.4, or paid by Sellers to any Company pursuant to the last sentence of Section 9.1(a) or the last sentence of Section 9.1(b).

(b)    By Individual Sellers. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, each Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Damages which any such Purchaser Indemnitee shall suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of or with respect to the breach by such Seller of any of the individual representations and warranties made by such Seller in Article V.

(c)    By Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Damages which any such Seller Indemnitee shall suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of or with respect to (i) the breach by Purchaser of any of the representations and warranties made by Purchaser in Article VI, or (ii) the breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

8.3    Third Party Claims.

(a)    If any Purchaser Indemnitee desires to make a claim against any Seller, or any Seller Indemnitee desires to make a claim against Purchaser (such Purchaser Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee, an “Indemnified Person”), under Section 8.2 in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or demand at any time instituted against or made upon such Indemnified Person by any third party for which such Indemnified Person may seek indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Person shall promptly notify in writing, in the case of a claim under Section 8.2(a) or 8.2(b), the relevant Seller, or, in the case of a claim under Section 8.2(c), Purchaser (in each case, an “Indemnifying Party”), of such Third Party Claim and of the Indemnified Person’s claim of indemnification with respect thereto; provided, however, that the failure to so notify or delay in notification shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure or delay. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to notify such Indemnified Person if the applicable Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the applicable Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be entitled at its own expense to conduct and control the defense and settlement of such Third Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing (reasonably acceptable to the applicable Indemnified Person) on behalf of the applicable Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Person, provided that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Person there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of

57

counsel to the Indemnified Person in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Person determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Person within 30 days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Person of a Third Party Claim that the applicable Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim or fails to diligently defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim at the expense of the applicable Indemnifying Party through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that neither the Indemnified Person nor the Indemnifying Party may compromise or settle any Third Party Claim except as provided in Section 8.3(b).

(b)    Any compromise, settlement or offer of settlement of any Third Party Claim of which the applicable Indemnifying Party has elected to assume the defense shall require the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Unless such consent is obtained, the applicable Indemnifying Party shall continue the defense of such claim; provided, however, that, if any Indemnified Person refuses its consent to a bona fide offer of settlement that the applicable Indemnifying Party wishes to accept and that involves no payment of money by such Indemnified Person, and further involves no limitation on the future operation of the business of the Companies, and that releases such Indemnified Person from all liability in connection with such claim, the applicable Indemnifying Party may reassign the defense of such claim to such Indemnified Person, who may then continue to pursue the defense of such matter, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, at the sole cost and expense of such Indemnified Person. In such event, the obligation of the applicable Indemnifying Party with respect thereto shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the amount of the offer of settlement that such Indemnified Person refused to accept or (ii) the aggregate Damages of the Indemnified Person with respect to such claim, including the costs of defense after reassignment of the defense of such claim to the Indemnified Person. Any compromise, settlement or offer of settlement of any Third Party Claim of which the applicable Indemnifying Party has not elected to assume the defense or has reassigned the defense to the Indemnified Person shall require the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any Third Party Claim, including the Indemnified Person providing the Indemnifying Party with access to the Indemnified Person’s records and personnel relating to any Third Party Claim during reasonable hours under the circumstances.

(c)    If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Person to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Person with respect to such Third Party Claim.

(d)    To the extent of any inconsistency between this Section 8.3 and Section 9.6 (Tax Contests), Section 9.6 shall control.

58

8.4    Limitations on Indemnification.

(a)    Deductible. Subject to the other limitations of this Section 8.4:

(i)    No claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b) shall be made by any Purchaser Indemnitee with respect to any breach resulting in an individual item of Damages, or related items of Damages arising out of substantially similar facts and circumstances, unless and until the amount of such Damages suffered by the Companies (taken as a whole) and/or any other Purchaser Indemnitee exceeds $10,000, at which point a claim may be made for the amount of such Damages in full; provided, that the provisions of this Section 8.4(i) shall not apply to a breach of a Fundamental Representation or a breach of Section 6.19 (Tax Matters); and

(ii)    No claim for indemnification under Section 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b) shall be made by any Purchaser Indemnitee unless and until the amount of such Damages suffered by the Companies (taken as a whole) and/or any other Purchaser Indemnitee exceed one percent (1%) of the Cash Price (the “Deductible”), at which time such Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified against all Damages that exceed the Deductible; provided, that the provisions of this Section 8.4(ii) shall not apply to a breach of a Fundamental Representation or a breach of Section 6.19 (Taxes).

(b)    Cap. Subject to the other limitations of this Section 8.4(b), the aggregate amount of all Damages payable to all Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to claims for indemnification under Sections 8.2(a)(i) or 8.2(b) shall not exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Cash Price (the “Cap”); provided, however, that (i) the Cap shall not apply to a breach of a Fundamental Representation, and (ii) the maximum amount which the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to receive in satisfaction of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b) from any individual Seller shall (x) with respect to a breach of a Fundamental Representation, not exceed such individual Seller’s Allocable Portion of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, and (y) with respect to any other breach of any individual Seller’s representations and warranties in Article V, not exceed the aggregate amount of such individual Seller’s Allocable Portion of the Cap. In no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligations of Sellers under this Article VIII exceed the Cash Price.

(c)    Time Limit. No Person shall be liable for any claim for indemnification hereunder, whether or not as a result of a Third Party Claim, unless written notice of a claim for indemnification is delivered by the Person seeking indemnification to the Person from whom indemnification is sought with respect to any such breach before the applicable Survival Date (in which case such indemnification obligation shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this Article VIII regardless of when any Damages in respect thereof may actually be incurred). All notices given pursuant hereto shall set forth with reasonable specificity the basis for such claim for indemnification.

59

(d)    Closing Net Working Capital; Reserves. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification hereunder for any Damages as a result of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Sellers under Article V and Article VI or the breach by Sellers of any of their covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement to the extent that the amount of any Damages as a result of such breach is taken into account as a current liability, reserved or accrued, or otherwise accounted for, in determining the Closing Net Working Capital, or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price (as finally determined pursuant to Section 3.4).

(e)    Insurance; Other Indemnification. The amount of any Damages subject to indemnification hereunder shall be calculated net of any amounts recovered by Purchaser or the Companies under insurance policies (after taking into account any associated increases in premiums) or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities or contributions of any Person which are contained outside this Agreement), and the parties hereto agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such recoveries.

(f)    Mitigation. Purchaser shall take and shall cause the Companies and any other Purchaser Indemnitees to take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall not be liable for any Damages to the extent (but only to the extent) that the Purchaser Indemnitees fail to take commercially reasonable action to mitigate any such Damages reasonably promptly after obtaining actual knowledge of the event giving rise to such Damages.

(g)    No Special Damages. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except in the event of Fraud, no Person shall be liable to any other Person for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, exemplary or punitive damages of such other Person, including loss of future revenue, income or profits, diminution of value or loss of business reputation or opportunity, or damages determined as a multiple of income, revenue or the like except to the extent awarded to any third party, relating to the breach or alleged breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement or related hereto.

(h)    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments made by Purchaser or Sellers pursuant to this Article VIII shall be treated by all parties hereto as an adjustment to the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price hereunder.

(i)    Single Materiality Scrape. For purposes of this Article VIII, the determination of whether a breach of any representation or warranty has occurred, but not with respect to the calculation of Damages resulting from any such breach of any representation or warranty, shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

60

8.5    Limitation of Remedies. The rights of the parties hereto for indemnification relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be strictly limited to those contained in this Article VIII, and, subject to Section 8.6 and the last sentence of this Section 8.5, such indemnification rights shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto after the Closing Date with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, Purchaser hereby waives and shall cause its Affiliates to waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any such matter, whether under any Laws (including any right or remedy under CERCLA or any other Environmental, Health and Safety Law), at common law or otherwise, including for rescission. Except as provided by this Article VIII, no action, suit, claim, proceeding or remedy shall be brought or maintained after the Closing by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including any other Purchaser Indemnitees, successors or permitted assigns against Sellers or any of their Affiliates, and no recourse shall be brought or granted against Sellers or any of their Affiliates, by virtue of or based upon any alleged misstatement or omission respecting a breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Sellers set forth or contained in this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prevent or restrict the bringing or maintenance of any claim or action, or the granting of any remedy, to the extent that the same shall have been the result of Fraud by any party hereto (and in the event of Fraud, recourse shall only extend to those Persons committing Fraud).

8.6    Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the parties hereto would be irreparably damaged if any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms and that any breach of this Agreement by any party hereto could not be adequately compensated in all cases by monetary damages alone. Accordingly, in addition to any other right or remedy to which Purchaser or Sellers, as the case may be, may be entitled, at law or in equity, such party shall be entitled to enforce any provision of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance and to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the necessity of posting any bond or other undertaking.

8.7    Priority. Any claims by Purchaser for indemnification under this Article VIII shall be made against the Sellers, any Damages with respect thereto shall in all respects shall be recovered, if at all, first against the Post-Closing Cash Payment, and if such amount is insufficient, then against the consideration received by the Sellers generally.

ARTICLE IX

TAX MATTERS

9.1    Tax Returns.

(a)    Sellers shall, at Sellers’ expense and with the Company’s and BAER’s reasonable cooperation, cause to be prepared and filed all Returns of the Companies required to be filed for all Tax Periods ending on or before the Closing Date. Following Closing, BAER shall file consolidated or combined federal and state income Tax Returns with the Company so as to terminate the Company’s income Tax year as of the end of the Closing Date. The Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser for its review a draft of each such Return to be filed after the Closing Date not fewer than 30 days before the deadline for

61

filing such Return, including extensions (or, if such Returns are due within 30 days after the Closing Date or the end of the applicable Tax Period with respect to which such Return is filed, as soon as reasonably practicable). Purchaser shall notify the Sellers in writing of any objection to a draft Return within 15 days after the draft Return is delivered to Purchaser (or, if such Return is due within 15 days after the draft Return is delivered, as soon as reasonably practicable). If Purchaser so notifies the Sellers of any objection to a draft Return (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such objection), Purchaser and the Sellers shall attempt, in good faith, to mutually resolve any disagreements regarding such draft Return. Any disagreements regarding the draft Returns that are not resolved within an additional 10-day period by the Sellers and Purchaser shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, whose decision shall be final and whose fees shall be shared equally by Sellers (in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions) and Purchaser. Returns that are subject to any disagreement shall not be filed until such disagreement is resolved; provided, however, that, if such Returns must be filed in order to avoid a penalty, such Returns may be filed as prepared (with any changes to which the Sellers and Purchaser agree prior to the date of filing reflected therein), and, if further changes are agreed upon or required by the Independent Accounting Firm, then Sellers shall cause such Returns to be amended to reflect such changes. Not later than five Business Days before the due date (including any extensions thereof) for payment of Taxes with respect to any such Return, the Sellers shall pay (in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions) to the applicable Company any Taxes of such Company shown as due thereon that were not taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as finally determined under Section 3.4.

(b)    Except as provided in Section 9.1(a), Purchaser shall, at its expense, cause the Companies to prepare and file all Returns of the Companies due after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers for review a draft of each Return of the Companies to be filed after the Closing Date that may give rise to any Tax liability of the Companies for which Sellers may be liable hereunder not fewer than 30 days before the deadline for filing such Return, including extensions (or if such Returns are due within 30 days after Closing or the end of the applicable Tax Period with respect to which such Return is filed, as soon as reasonably practicable). The Sellers shall notify Purchaser in writing of any objections to a draft Return within 15 days after the draft Return is delivered to the Sellers (or, if such return is due within 15 days after the draft Return is delivered to the Sellers, as soon as reasonably practicable). If the Sellers so notify Purchaser of any objections to a draft Return (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of such objection), Purchaser and the Sellers shall attempt, in good faith, to mutually resolve any disagreements regarding such draft Return. Any disagreements regarding the draft Returns that are not resolved within an additional 10-day period by the Sellers and Purchaser shall be resolved by the Independent Accounting Firm, whose decision shall be final and whose fees shall be shared equally by Sellers (in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions) and Purchaser. Returns that are subject to any disagreement shall not be filed until such disagreement is resolved; provided, however, that, if such Returns must be filed in order to avoid a penalty, such Returns may be filed as prepared (with any changes to which the Sellers and Purchaser agree prior to the date of filing reflected therein), and, if further changes are agreed upon or required by the Independent Accounting Firm, then Purchaser shall amend such Returns to reflect such changes. The Sellers shall promptly pay (in accordance with their respective

62

Allocable Portions) to the applicable Company after final determination hereunder any Taxes of such Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (as determined in accordance with Section 9.4) shown as due thereon that were not taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as finally determined under Section 3.4.

9.2    Liability for Taxes. Sellers (in accordance with their respective Allocable Portions) shall be responsible for, and shall promptly pay directly or reimburse the Company for, all Taxes of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and for Sellers’ portion (as determined under Section 9.4) of all Taxes of the Companies for any Tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) to the extent such Taxes (a) are not taken into account in calculating the Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as finally determined under Section 3.4, or (b) have not been paid on or prior to the Closing Date by or on behalf of the Company (including by estimated income Tax payments). Purchaser shall be responsible for all Taxes of the Companies for any Post-Closing Tax Period and for its portion (as determined under Section 9.4) of all Taxes of the Companies for any Straddle Period.

9.3    Tax Benefits. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, any Tax Benefits, to the extent arising on or prior to the Closing Date, will, to the maximum extent permitted by Law, be reflected on the Returns of the Companies for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or the pre-Closing portion of Straddle Periods, as the case may be. Except as otherwise required pursuant to a determination (as defined in section 1313 of the Code), neither the Companies, Purchaser, BAER nor any of their respective Affiliates will take any position inconsistent with such treatment.

9.4    Apportionment of Taxes.

(a)    With respect to any Straddle Period, the Taxes of the Companies attributable to such Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the first day of the Straddle Period and ends on and includes the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Straddle Period”), which portion shall be the responsibility of Sellers (to the extent provided in Section 9.2), and all other Taxes attributable to the operations or assets of the Companies for the Straddle Period shall be the responsibility of Purchaser.

(b)    Except with respect to Taxes described in Section 9.4(c) below, the portion of the Tax allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall equal the amount that would be payable if the Straddle Period ended on the last day of the Pre-Closing Straddle Period by means of closing the books and records of the Companies as of the end of the last day of the Pre-Closing Straddle Period; provided, that all permitted allowances, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year or period shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be allocated between the Pre-Closing Straddle Period and the portion of the Straddle Period that begins on the day immediately following the Closing Date and ends on the last day of the Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

63

(c)    In the case of personal property, real property and similar ad valorum Taxes not described in Section 9.4(b), the portion of the Tax allocated to the Pre-Closing Straddle Period shall equal the amount of Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by the ratio of the number of days during the Pre-Closing Straddle Period to the number of days during the entire Straddle Period.

(d)    This Section 9.4 shall apply mutatis mutandis to any Tax refunds, Tax credits or other Tax benefits to which any Company may be entitled.

9.5    Cooperation. In connection with the preparation of Returns, audit examinations, and any administrative or judicial proceedings relating to the Taxes imposed on the Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, all Straddle Periods and all Post-Closing Tax Periods, BAER and the Companies, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, shall cooperate fully with each other, including furnishing or making available during normal business hours records, personnel (as reasonably required), books of account, powers of attorney and/or other materials necessary or helpful for the preparation and filing of such Returns, the conduct of audit examinations or the defense of claims by Tax Authorities as to the imposition of Taxes. Purchaser shall provide the Sellers, and the Sellers shall provide Purchaser, with the information that each is respectively required to report under section 6043A of the Code or any other applicable Tax rule.

9.6    Tax Contests.

(a)    If any Tax Authority issues to Purchaser, BAER or any of the Companies (i) a notice of its intent to audit, examine or conduct a proceeding with respect to Taxes or Returns of such Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or (ii) a notice of deficiency, notice of reassessment, proposed adjustment, assertion of claim or demand concerning Taxes or Returns attributable to the operations or assets of any of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or otherwise with respect to Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Straddle Periods for which Sellers have potential indemnity obligations hereunder (each, a “Tax Claim”), Purchaser shall notify the Sellers of the receipt of such communication from the Tax Authority and shall deliver a copy of any such written communication to the Sellers within 10 Business Days after receiving such Tax Claim; provided that the failure to so notify Sellers of, or deliver, such communication shall not relieve Sellers of any obligation or Liability that Sellers may have to Purchaser hereunder, except to the extent such obligation or Liability is caused solely by such delay.

(b)    In the event of any proceeding relating to any Tax Claim with respect to Taxes attributable to the operations or assets of or Returns of any Company (a “Tax Contest”) for a Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date or otherwise with respect to Taxes for Pre-Closing Tax Periods or Straddle Periods for which Sellers have potential indemnity obligations hereunder, Purchaser and such Company, as applicable, shall promptly provide the Sellers with copies of all written communications relating to the Tax Contest; provided, that (i) the Sellers shall control any such Tax Contest, (ii) Purchaser and such Company, as applicable, shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest, at its own expense, and (iii) Purchaser and such Company, as applicable, shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest (or any issue raised in any Tax Contest) that will esult in Tax liability for Sellers without the prior written consent of the Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

64

(c)    At the request of the Sellers, Purchaser or any of the Companies, as applicable, shall settle any issue related to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Period on terms acceptable to the Sellers and the applicable Tax Authority; provided, that (i) Sellers shall pay when reasonably requested by Purchaser, all Taxes (and other amounts) for which Sellers are liable under this Agreement as a result of such settlement, and (ii) the settlement would not result in any adverse Tax consequence to Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Companies after Closing), including the payment of any Tax for which Sellers are not required to fully indemnify Purchaser or its Affiliates (including the Companies after Closing) under this Agreement, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion.

(d)    In the event of a Tax Contest for a Straddle Period, Purchaser and such Company, as applicable, shall promptly provide the Sellers with copies of all written communications relating to the Tax Contest; provided, that (i) the Purchaser shall control any such Tax Contest, (ii) Sellers shall have the right to participate in any such Tax Contest, at its own expense, and (iii) Purchaser and such Company, as applicable, shall not settle or otherwise resolve any Tax Contest (or any issue raised in any Tax Contest) that will result in Tax liability for Sellers without the prior written consent of the Sellers, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.7    Amended Returns. Purchaser and BAER shall not (and shall not permit the Company or any of Purchaser’s affiliates to) (a) amend any Tax Return of the Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, (b) initiate any “voluntary disclosure” agreement or similar program with any Tax Authority with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Taxes of the Companies attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (c) make, file, change, amend or revoke any material Tax elections or accounting methods of the Companies with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Period, (d) file an election under Section 338 of the Code with respect to the Company, or (e) extend or waive any statute of limitations with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Companies for a Pre-Closing Tax Period; in each case, if such action could give rise to an indemnity obligation and/or increased Tax liability of the Sellers.

9.8    Tax Refunds. Purchaser and the Companies shall reasonably cooperate with the Sellers in obtaining any Tax refund (whether by payment, offset, credit or otherwise) attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. If Purchaser, BAER or any of the Companies receives a refund (whether by payment, offset, credit or otherwise) of Taxes for which Sellers are liable hereunder, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, within 10 Business Days of the receipt thereof, the amount of such refund, unless such refund (a) arises from the carryback of a Tax attribute attributable to a Tax Period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date to a Tax Period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, (b) was taken into account in the calculation of Aggregate Cash Purchase Price, as finally determined under Section 3.4, or (c) is attributable to a Tax payment made after the Closing and not economically borne (through indemnification or otherwise) by Sellers, in which case Purchaser shall in all cases be entitled to such refund. To the extent that any refund that has given rise to a payment under this Section 9.8 is subsequently reversed, Sellers shall repay to Purchaser the amount received under this Section 9.8, together with any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such reversal.

65

9.9    Other Taxes. Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and their Affiliates from and against all Damages relating to) all sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording or similar fees or Taxes (excluding any federal, state, local and non-U.S. Taxes based on income, which shall be payable by the party recognizing such income, and any applicable transfer taxes, which shall be split evenly between Purchaser and Sellers), or governmental charges (together with any interest or penalty, addition to Tax or additional amount imposed) as levied by any Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Tax”). The party required by Law shall, at its expense, prepare and file all necessary Returns with respect to all such Transfer Tax and shall promptly provide a copy of such Return to the other party. The other party shall, not more than ten (10) business days after receipt of such filing, pay to the filing party its share of such Transfer Tax.

10.2    Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect thereto. Neither the duties nor obligations of any party hereto, nor the rights of any party hereto, shall be expanded beyond the terms of this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement on the basis of any legal or equitable principle or on any other basis whatsoever. Neither any legal or equitable principle nor any implied obligation of good faith or fair dealing nor any other matter requires any party hereto to incur, suffer or perform any act, condition or obligation contrary to the terms of this Agreement, whether or not existing and whether foreseeable or unforeseeable. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that it would be unfair, and that it does not intend, to increase any of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement on the basis of any implied obligation or otherwise.

10.3    Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Sellers and Purchaser, or in the case of a waiver, by or on behalf of the party hereto against whom the waiver is to be effective. No failure or delay by any party hereto in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

10.4    Benefits; Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as set forth in Section 7.15, and except for an assignment by Purchaser to any affiliate of Purchaser, neither this Agreement nor the obligations hereunder shall be assignable or transferable by Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Sellers, or by any Seller without the prior written consent of Purchaser.

10.5    No Third Party Beneficiary; No Benefit Plan Amendment. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than Purchaser, Purchaser Indemnitees, the Companies, Sellers, Seller Indemnitees and their respective successors, heirs, personal representatives and permitted assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to amend, modify or terminate any Benefit Plan.

10.6    Severability. It is the desire and intent of the parties hereto that the provisions of this Agreement be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, if any particular provision of this Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable for any reason, such provision, as to such jurisdiction, shall be ineffective, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such

67

provision in any other jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such provision could be more narrowly drawn so as not to be invalid, prohibited or unenforceable in such jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be so narrowly drawn, without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.7    Expenses and Closing. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, the parties hereto shall bear their own respective expenses (including all compensation and expenses of their own counsel, financial advisors, consultants and accountants) incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and consummation of this Agreement and of the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.8    Counterparts and Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the several parties hereto in separate counterparts, and delivered by facsimile or other means of electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument and an original document.

10.9    Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DOMESTIC LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICTING PROVISION OR RULE (WHETHER OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION) THAT WOULD CAUSE THE LAWS OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF DELAWARE TO BE APPLIED. IN FURTHERANCE OF THE FOREGOING, THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WILL CONTROL THE INTERPRETATION AND CONSTRUCTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, EVEN IF, UNDER SUCH JURISDICTION’S CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAW ANALYSIS, THE SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF SOME OTHER JURISDICTION WOULD ORDINARILY APPLY. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL COURTS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WITHIN THE STATE OF MONTANA OR THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF MONTANA SHALL HAVE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH PARTY MAY LEGALLY AND EFFECTIVELY DO SO, TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER.

10.10    Disclosure Schedules. A disclosure made by Sellers in any Section of this Agreement or any of the Schedules (or subparts thereof) that is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that such disclosure contains information applicable to another Section of this Agreement or any other Schedule (or subparts thereof) in order to avoid a misrepresentation thereunder shall be deemed, for all purposes of this Agreement, to have been made with respect to such other Sections of this Agreement and such other Schedules (or subparts thereof), notwithstanding any cross-references (which are included solely as a matter of convenience) or lack of a Schedule reference in any representation or warranty. Information reflected in the Schedules is not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be reflected in the Schedules. Such additional information is set forth for informational purposes and does not

68

necessarily include other matters of a similar nature. Disclosure of such additional information shall not be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that such information is required to be disclosed and disclosure of such information shall not be deemed to enlarge or enhance any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement or otherwise alter in any way the terms of this Agreement. Inclusion of information in the Schedules shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material to the business, assets, liabilities, financial position, operations or results of operations of the Companies.

10.11    Certain Matters Regarding Representation of the Companies.

(a)    Parr Brown Gee & Loveless PC and Davis & Cannon, LLP (collectively, the “Law Firms”) have acted as counsel for the Sellers and the Companies in connection with this Agreement (the “Acquisition Engagement”) and in that connection not as counsel for any other Person, including Purchaser or BAER.

(b)    Only the Sellers and the Companies shall be considered clients of the Law Firms in the Acquisition Engagement. All communications of or seeking legal advice between the Sellers, the Companies, and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and either of the Law Firms, on the other hand, in connection with the Acquisition Engagement shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Sellers and not to (following the transactions contemplated hereby) the Companies. Accordingly, neither Purchaser nor BAER shall have access to any communications in the files of the Companies relating to the Acquisition Engagement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing: (i) the Sellers and the Law Firms shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Acquisition Engagement, and none of the Companies, Purchaser or BAER shall be a holder thereof; (ii) to the extent that the files of either Law Firm in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Sellers shall hold such property rights; and (iii) neither Law Firm shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Companies, Purchaser or BAER by reason of any attorney-client relationship between such Law Firm and the Companies or otherwise unless otherwise directed by a court order or the order of any Authority.

(c)    If the Sellers so desire, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Companies, Purchaser, BAER or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, either Law Firm shall be permitted to act as counsel to the Sellers after the Closing in connection with any matter, including anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, either Law Firm shall be permitted to represent the Sellers in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (“dispute” includes litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Purchaser, BAER or any of their respective agents or Affiliates (including after the Closing the Companies) under or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims for indemnification and disputes involving noncompetition or other agreements entered into by the Sellers in connection with this Agreement, and either Seller in connection with any other matter.

69

(d)    Upon and after the Closing, the Companies shall cease to have any attorney-client relationship with either Law Firm, including with respect to any matter arising after the Closing, unless such Law Firm is specifically engaged in writing by the Companies to represent the Companies after the Closing.

(f)    The Parties hereby expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective Affiliates.
