2.6. Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) At least three (3) business days prior to the Closing, the Company shall, in good faith and in consultation with Parent, prepare and deliver to Parent a good faith estimate of the Actual Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), together with an estimated balance sheet of the Company, on a consolidated basis, as of the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), prepared in accordance with GAAP consistent with the manner in which GAAP was applied in the preparation of the Balance Sheet. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Company’s fiscal year. The Estimated Net Working Capital shall be calculated based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. Parent shall have the opportunity to review and comment upon the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Company’s calculation of the Estimated Net Working Capital, both of which shall be subject to Parent’s reasonable approval. Until the Actual Net Working Capital is finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.6, the

Closing Cash Merger Consideration shall be determined using the Estimated Net Working Capital instead of the Actual Net Working Capital.

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing, Parent shall, in good faith, cause to be prepared and delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent (i) a balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the Closing (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a reasonably detailed calculation (the “Parent Net Working Capital Calculation”) of the Actual Net Working Capital. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and GAAP consistent with the manner in which GAAP was applied in the preparation of the Balance Sheet. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be prepared as if the Closing Date was the last day of the Company’s fiscal year. Following the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet and Parent Net Working Capital Calculation to the Stockholders’ Agent, Parent shall, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, afford the Stockholders’ Agent and its Representatives the opportunity to examine the calculation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Parent Net Working Capital Calculation and such underlying records and work papers as are reasonably necessary and appropriate. Parent shall cooperate reasonably promptly with the Stockholders’ Agent and its Representatives in such examination.

(c) The Stockholders’ Agent may, on behalf of the Merger Stockholders, dispute any amounts reflected in the Parent Net Working Capital Calculation but only on the basis that such amounts were not calculated in accordance with this Agreement or that such calculations are mathematically inaccurate; provided, that the Stockholders’ Agent shall notify Parent in writing of each disputed amount and shall specify the amount thereof in dispute (in the aggregate, the “Disputed Amounts”), within thirty (30) days of Parent’s delivery of the Parent Net Working Capital Calculation. If the Stockholders’ Agent does not dispute any amounts reflected in the Parent Net Working Capital Calculation within such thirty (30) day period, the Parent Net Working Capital Calculation shall be deemed to be and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.

(d) In the event of such a dispute, Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall attempt in good faith to reconcile their differences and any resolution by them as to any Disputed Amounts shall be in writing and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties, and shall be used to determine the Actual Net Working Capital. If Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent are unable to reach a resolution with respect to all Disputed Amounts within thirty (30) days of the Stockholders’ Agent’s written notice of dispute to Parent, Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall submit the remaining Disputed Amounts for resolution to the Independent Accounting Firm which shall be requested to determine and report to the parties upon such remaining Disputed Amounts within thirty (30) days after submission, and such report shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto, and shall determine the Actual Net Working Capital. The Independent Accounting Firm will have exclusive jurisdiction over the parties hereto against one another or any other Person with respect to disputes over the calculation of Actual Net Working Capital. Each party will furnish to the Independent Accounting Firm such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accounting Firm may request and are reasonably available to that party or its Subsidiaries (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accounting Firm (to the extent permitted by the Independent Accounting Firm) any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the

Independent Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be allocated between Parent and the Merger Stockholders (such allocation to be finally determined by the Independent Accounting Firm) in such a way that Parent shall be responsible for that portion of the fees and expenses equal to the total amount of such fees and expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Disputed Amounts submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm that are resolved against Parent, and the denominator of which is the Disputed Amounts so submitted, and the Stockholders’ Agent shall be responsible for the remainder of such fees and expenses.

(e) If the Actual Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Merger Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to such excess (such excess being the “Post-Closing Increase Amount”). If the Actual Net Working Capital, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6, is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Merger Consideration shall be decreased by an amount equal to such shortfall (such shortfall being the “Post-Closing Decrease Amount”). If the Actual Net Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital, (i) Parent shall pay to the Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Merger Stockholders an amount equal to (x) the Post-Closing Increase Amount plus (y) interest on such Post-Closing Increase Amount (for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date of payment) at a rate equal to the average interest rate earned on the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount during such period and (ii) Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall execute and the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an instruction to release the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount and any interest earned thereon (the “Merger Consideration Escrow Funds”) to the Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Merger Stockholders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the Estimated Net Working Capital exceeds the Actual Net Working Capital, Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall execute and Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an instruction (i) to release an amount of the Merger Consideration Escrow Funds equal to the Post-Closing Decrease Amount plus any interest earned on such amount to Parent and (ii) to release the remaining (after application of clause (i) of this sentence) Merger Consideration Escrow Funds, if any, to the Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Merger Stockholders in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. In the event that the Post-Closing Decrease Amount exceeds the Merger Consideration Escrow Funds, Parent shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnity Escrow Amount and any interest earned thereon (the “Indemnity Escrow Funds”) (x) such excess plus (y) interest on such excess (for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date of recovery) at a rate equal the average interest rate earned on the Merger Consideration Escrow Amount during such period. If the balance of the Indemnity Escrow Fund available for payment is not sufficient to satisfy in full the remaining obligations of the Merger Stockholders pursuant to this Section 2.6(e), each Merger Stockholder shall be responsible for such Merger Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of any difference between the amount available from the Indemnity Escrow Fund and the remaining amount owed to Parent pursuant to this Section 2.6(e). Each of the items to be paid or delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) shall be so paid or delivered within three (3) business days of the final determination of the Actual Net Working Capital.

2.7. Closing of the Company’s Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of such capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of

the Company’s capital stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any of such shares of the Company’s capital stock (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Surviving Corporation or Parent, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Section 2.8.

2.8. Exchange of Certificates; Escrow.

(a) At the Closing, Parent shall pay to The Bank of New York, as paying agent, or, if The Bank of New York shall not agree to serve as paying agent, to such other bank or trust company as may be mutually agreed by Parent and the Company (the “Paying Agent”), pursuant to a Paying Agent Agreement by and among Parent, the Company, the Stockholders’ Agent and the Paying Agent, in customary form to be agreed upon by the parties, an amount equal to the Closing Cash Merger Consideration less the portion of the Closing Cash Merger Consideration applicable to any Dissenting Shares (such amount, the “Closing Date Payment”). The Paying Agent will acknowledge in writing to Parent the receipt of the Closing Date Payment simultaneously with receipt thereof and the delivery by Parent of the Closing Date Payment to the Paying Agent shall be deemed delivery to the Merger Stockholders for purposes of this Agreement.

(b) At the Closing, the Paying Agent shall, for each Merger Stockholder who surrenders a Company Stock Certificate for cancellation to Parent, together with the letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (“Letter of Transmittal”), duly completed and validly executed to the satisfaction of Parent in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, pay to each such Merger Stockholder, without interest, for each share of Company Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, the following (which shall be determined using the Estimated Net Working Capital instead of the Actual Net Working Capital):

(i) in exchange for each share of Series A Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the sum of the Per Share Series A Preferred Stock Preference plus the Per Share Participation Amount, if any;

(ii) in exchange for each share of Series B Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the sum of the Per Share Series B Preferred Stock Preference plus the Per Share Participation Amount, if any;

(iii) in exchange for each share of Series C Preferred Stock, an amount equal to the sum of the Per Share Series C Preferred Stock Preference plus the Per Share Participation Amount, if any; and

(iv) in exchange for each share of Common Stock, an amount equal to the sum of the Per Share Common Stock Preference plus the Per Share Participation Amount, if any, minus the applicable Unpaid Price Per Common Share, if any.

If a Merger Stockholder delivers his, her or its Company Stock Certificate and Letter of Transmittal to Parent (including wire transfer instructions if applicable), duly completed and validly executed to the satisfaction of Parent in accordance with the instructions thereto, and

such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (the “LT Delivery Date”), the Paying Agent shall pay the applicable consideration specified in Section 2.8(b)(i)-(iv) above for the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate to such Merger Stockholder as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal promptly following the Effective Time, but in no event later than two Business Days after the Closing Date. At least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and Parent will jointly execute and deliver written instructions to the Paying Agent that list: (i) the names of each Merger Stockholder who has delivered a Company Stock Certificate and duly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal to Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, (iii) the portion of the Merger Consideration to be paid to each such Merger Stockholder and (iv) the payment instructions for each such Merger Stockholder. If any Merger Stockholder fails to surrender a Company Stock Certificate or Letter of Transmittal to Parent at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Paying Agent shall not pay the portion of the Merger Consideration applicable to the related shares of Company Stock at or immediately following the Effective Time and the Paying Agent shall deposit such portion of the Merger Consideration in the designated account maintained by the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Merger Stockholders. If a Company Stock Certificate and Letter of Transmittal are delivered any time after the LT Delivery Date, within five (5) Business Days of delivery of such Company Stock Certificate and Letter of Transmittal to Parent, duly completed and validly executed to the satisfaction of Parent in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, Parent shall deliver to the Paying Agent a written instruction containing the information set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above and shall cause the Paying Agent to pay to such Merger Stockholder, without interest, the applicable consideration specified in Section 2.8(b)(i)-(iv) above for the number of shares of Company Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, payable as set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. Parent may, in its sole and reasonable discretion, waive the requirement of a Company Stock Certificate or Letter of Transmittal for any or all such Merger Stockholders. Any and all interest and other amounts earned with respect to the Closing Date Payment shall accrue for the benefit of Parent and shall be released to Parent in accordance with the terms of Section 2.8 hereof.

(c) At the Closing, Parent shall deliver to The Bank of New York, as escrow agent, or, if The Bank of New York shall not agree to serve as escrow agent, to such other bank or trust company as may be mutually agreed by Parent and the Company (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, subject to reasonable changes required by Escrow Agent and reasonably acceptable to Parent, the Company and the Stockholders’ Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”), (i) $4,600,000, (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”), (ii) $420,000 (the “Merger Consideration Escrow Amount”) and (iii) $25,000 (the “Stockholders’ Agent Escrow Amount”), each by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The Stockholders’ Agent may pay (or seek reimbursement for) costs, fees and expenses incurred for the benefit of the Merger Stockholders by the Stockholders’ Agent after the Closing Date from the Stockholders’ Agent Escrow Amount and any interest earned thereon (the “Stockholders’ Agent Escrow Funds”), and the Indemnity Escrow Funds (but only if and when the Indemnity Escrow Funds are distributed to the Stockholder’s Agent by the Escrow

Agent for the benefit of the Merger Stockholders in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement).

(d) Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.8, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive the applicable consideration specified in Section 2.8(b)(i)-(iv) above. If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of the applicable consideration specified in Section 2.8(b)(i)-(iv) above to the owner of such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to make an affidavit of that fact and to deliver an appropriate indemnity or surety bond as security against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

(e) Each of the Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable to any holder or former holder of capital stock of the Company pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Paying Agent is required to deduct or withhold therefrom under the Code or under any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f) At any time following the sixth month anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to cause the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to the Merger Stockholders (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, any Merger Stockholder that has not yet received its applicable portion of the Merger Consideration shall be entitled to look to Parent and the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Laws) with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Company Stock Certificates held by such Merger Stockholder and delivery of a Letter of Transmittal to Parent, duly completed and validly executed to the satisfaction of Parent in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent, the Company, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder or former holder of capital stock of the Company for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

2.9. Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any shares (“Dissenting Shares”) of Company Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (the “DGCL Appraisal Procedures”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the applicable consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(i)-(iv) above, but rather the holders of Dissenting Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the DGCL Appraisal Procedures; provided, however, that if any such holder

shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to receive payment of the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares under the DGCL Appraisal Procedures, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease and such Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive the applicable consideration specified in Section 2.5(a)(i)-(iv) above. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Merger Sub of any demands received by the Company for payment of the fair value of any shares of Company Stock (including a copy of each demand). Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to or settle or offer to settle, any such demands or agree to do any of the foregoing.

2.10. Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not terminate, amend, modify or waive any material provision of any confidentiality or similar agreement to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party (other than any involving Parent or Merger Sub). Subject to the foregoing, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company agrees to enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under any applicable Legal Requirement, the provisions of any such agreements, including obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in any court or other tribunal having jurisdiction.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions contained in the first sentence of this Section 5.4(b) by any Representative of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or otherwise, shall be a breach of this Section 5.4(b) by the Company.

(c) Neither the board of directors of the Company nor any committee thereof shall (or shall agree or resolve to) (i) fail to make, withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub or propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub (or take any action or make any statement inconsistent with) the recommendation by the board of directors of the

Company or any such committee of the board of directors of the Company of the approval of this Agreement or the Merger, or approve or recommend, or propose to recommend, the approval or recommendation of any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing in this clause (i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”), or (ii) cause or permit the Company to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement (each, an “Acquisition Agreement”) constituting or related to, or which is intended to or is reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal (other than a confidentiality agreement referred to in Section 5.4(b)). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to receipt of the Requisite Stockholder Approvals, the board of directors of the Company may, in response to a Superior Proposal, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or (subject to the terms of Section 8.1(g) hereof) terminate this Agreement and enter into an Acquisition Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, provided that the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisors that the failure to do so is reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties to the Stockholders of the Company under applicable Legal Requirements, and provided, further, that the Company Board may not effect such an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement and enter into such Acquisition Agreement unless (A) the board of directors of the Company shall have first provided prior written notice to Parent (an “Adverse Recommendation Change Notice”) that it is prepared to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into an Acquisition Agreement in response to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall, in the case of a Superior Proposal, attach the most current version of any written agreement relating to the transaction that constitutes such Superior Proposal (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal shall require a new notice and a new five Business Day period) and (ii) Parent does not make, within five Business Days after receipt of such notice, a proposal that would, in the reasonable good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company (after consultation with financial advisors and outside legal counsel), cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal. The Company agrees that, during the five Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement and entering into an Acquisition Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(g), the Company and its Representatives shall negotiate in good faith with Parent and its Representatives regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent.

On a daily basis at mutually reasonably agreeable times, the Company (or its outside counsel) shall (A) advise and confer with Parent (or its outside counsel) regarding the progress of negotiations concerning any Acquisition Proposal, the material resolved and unresolved issues related thereto and the material terms (including material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material

terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry, and (B) promptly upon receipt or delivery thereof provide Parent with copies of all documents and written communications relating to such Acquisition Proposal exchanged between the Company or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the party making an Acquisition Proposal or any of its Representatives, on the other hand.

The Company shall allow Parent the opportunity to review and comment on the Company Pre-Closing Returns to be filed after the date hereof for a reasonable period prior to the intended filing date, provided that nothing hereunder shall limit the Company’s right to cause such Tax Returns to be filed on a timely basis. The Company shall cause to be timely paid and shall be responsible for all Taxes due on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to Company Pre-Closing Returns.

8.2. Termination Fee.

(a) The Company shall pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to $2,000,000 (the “Termination Fee”) if:

(i) this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(f) or by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(g); or

(ii) this Agreement is terminated by either the Company or the Parent pursuant to Section 8.1(e) and (A) prior to the date of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is pending, and (B) prior to the date that is twelve months after such termination, the Company or any Company Subsidiary enters into any Acquisition Agreement or any Acquisition Proposal is consummated.

ARTICLE IX.

TAX MATTERS

9.1. Preparation of Tax Returns Following Closing. Following the Closing, the Parent shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the payment of all Taxes in connection with filing such Tax Returns subject to Parent’s right to be reimbursed for and to be indemnified against such Taxes. Each such Tax Return shall, to the extent it relates to a taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice. At least thirty (30) days prior to the applicable filing deadline for each such Tax Return, Parent shall deliver such Tax Return, if such Tax Return relates to a taxable period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the Closing Date, to the Stockholders’ Agent for review. If the Stockholders’ Agent disputes the manner in which such Tax Return has been prepared, it shall provide Parent with written notice of any such disputed items within 21 days following receipt of the draft Tax Return and, if Parent and Stockholders’ Agent are unable to resolve such dispute within 10 days

thereafter, any unresolved issues shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm for final resolution. The Merger Stockholders shall reimburse Parent for, and as provided in Section 9.2, indemnify Parent from, the amount of Taxes payable with respect to such Tax Returns that are allocable to the portion of the taxable period up to and including the Closing Date, determined in accordance with Section 9.2(b).

9.2. Tax Indemnification.

(a) After the Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 10.4(b), each Merger Stockholder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Parent Indemnitees from and against such Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of any Taxes or other Damages attributable to (i) Taxes of the Company and each Company Subsidiary attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing or, in the case of Taxes attributable to a taxable period that ends following, but includes, the Closing Date, the Taxes attributable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date; and (ii) the Stockholders’ share of any transfer Taxes payable under Section 9.4 below.

(b) In the case of any real property, personal property or ad valorem Tax that is payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to equal the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period. All other Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be allocated on the basis of a closing of the books as of the close of the Closing Date.

9.3. Assistance and Records. The parties shall provide each other with such assistance as each may reasonably request in connection with (i) the preparation of Tax Returns required to be filed with respect to the Company, (ii) any audit or other examination by any taxing authority, (iii) any judicial or administrative proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, or (iv) any claim for refund in respect of such Taxes. Such assistance shall include making employees available to other parties and their counsel, providing additional information and explanation of any material provided, granting reasonable access to, and furnishing to and permitting the copying by, any party or its counsel of any records, returns, schedules, documents, work papers or other relevant materials which might reasonably be expected to be used in connection with any such return, audit, examination, proceeding or claim. The Stockholders will retain the right with the reasonable participation of the Company to conduct and resolve any audit, administrative or judicial proceeding relating to Taxes with respect to any period ending prior to the Closing Date. The Company will promptly notify the Stockholders’ Agent of any such audit, proposed adjustment or related matter that could affect the Stockholders’ Tax liability. The Company will retain and upon the request of the Stockholders’ Agent provide any records or information which may be relevant to any such return, audit, examination, proceeding or claim.

9.4. Transfer Taxes. The Stockholders shall pay any transfer or similar Taxes, if any, imposed as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.1. Survival of Representations, Etc.

(a) The representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement and in each of the other agreements, certificates and instruments delivered to Parent pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall survive the Closing and shall expire, together with the Parent Indemnitees’ right to seek indemnification for breaches therefor pursuant to this Article X, on the date which is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, except that (i) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.14, 3.15 and 3.17, and the closing certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement (insofar as the closing certificate relates to such representations and warranties), shall not expire until sixty (60) days after the relevant statute of limitations expires and (ii) the representations and warranties made by the Company in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, and the closing certificate delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement (insofar as the closing certificate relates to such representations and warranties), shall survive the Closing in perpetuity (the applicable date of such expiration being the “Stockholder Expiration Date”); provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the Stockholder Expiration Date, any Parent Indemnitee delivers to the Stockholders’ Agent a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 10.2 based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the applicable Stockholder Expiration Date until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. The representations and warranties made by the Guarantor and Parent shall survive the Closing and shall expire, together with the Stockholder Indemnitees’ right to seek indemnification for breaches therefor pursuant to this Article X, on the date which is eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Parent Expiration Date”), except that the representations and warranties made by the Guarantor, Parent and Merger Sub in Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and the closing certificate delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 of this Agreement (insofar as the closing certificate relates to such representations and warranties), shall survive the Closing in perpetuity; provided, however, that if, at any time prior to the Parent Expiration Date, any Stockholder Indemnitee delivers to Parent a written notice alleging the existence of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties made by the Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 10.3 based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the applicable Parent Expiration Date until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(b) For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in any Schedule or Exhibit hereto shall be deemed to be a part of the representation and warranty made by the Company, the Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub, as the case may be, in this Agreement.

10.2. Indemnification by the Stockholders.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, from and after the Effective Time by virtue of the Merger, each Merger Stockholder, severally and not jointly, shall

Directors of the Company in approving the Merger; (xii) any Post-Closing Decrease Amount to the extent such amount exceeds the Merger Consideration Escrow Funds; (xiii) any liability arising from any Legal Proceeding brought by any Stockholder relating to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Information Statement (other than any statement provided in writing by Parent to the Company specifically for inclusion therein) or any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstance under which they were made, not misleading; or (xiv) enforcement by any Parent Indemnitee of any of its indemnification rights under this Agreement.

(b) Each of the Company and the Merger Stockholders acknowledges and agrees that if the Company or any Company Subsidiary suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Company as a Parent Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Company, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

(c) Any amount of Damages required to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 10.2 shall be deemed, to the extent permitted by law, an adjustment in the Merger Consideration.

10.3. Indemnification by Parent and the Guarantor. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article X, from and after the Closing, Parent and the Guarantor shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Stockholder Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Stockholder Indemnitees for, any Damages which are suffered or incurred by any of the Stockholder Indemnitees or to which any of the Stockholder Indemnitees may otherwise become subject (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and which arise from or as a result of, or are connected with: (i) any misrepresentation in, inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty of the Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument furnished or to be furnished to the Stockholders’ Agent or the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Guarantor, Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument furnished or to be furnished to the Stockholders’ Agent or the Company pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; or (iii) enforcement by any Stockholder Indemnitee of its indemnification rights under this Agreement.

10.4. Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.

(a) The Merger Stockholders shall not be liable to indemnify the Parent Indemnitees for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(i) (except for claims with respect to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.15, 3.17, 3.29 and 3.31 and

the closing certificate in Section 6.1 insofar as it relates to such representations and warranties (the representation and warranties contained in such sections and certificate being the “Stockholder Fundamental Representations”)) until the aggregate Damages incurred by the Parent Indemnitees for which indemnification may be sought but for this sentence exceeds $460,000 (the “Basket Amount”), at which point the Parent Indemnitees shall only be entitled to seek indemnification for the amount by which such Damages exceed the Basket Amount. The Stockholder Indemnitees may not make any claim for indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 10.3(i) (except for claims with respect to Sections 4.1 and 4.2, and the closing certificate in Section 7.1 insofar as they relate to such representations and warranties (the representations and warranties contained in such sections and certificate being the “Parent Fundamental Representations”)) until the aggregate Damages incurred by the Stockholder Indemnitees for which indemnification may be sought but for this sentence exceeds the Basket Amount, at which point the Stockholder Indemnitees shall only be entitled to seek indemnification for the amount by which such Damages exceed the Basket Amount.

(b) The aggregate indemnification obligation of the Merger Stockholders for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) hereof shall not exceed $6,900,000 (the “Cap Amount”); provided, that this limitation shall not apply to breaches of the Stockholder Fundamental Representations. The aggregate indemnification obligation of the Merger Stockholders for breaches of the Stockholder Fundamental Representations, claims made pursuant to Section 9.2 and claims made pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii) through Section 10.2(a)(xiv) shall not exceed $10,000,000; provided that this limitation shall not apply to claims for indemnification made by Parent pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(xi) hereof.

(c) The aggregate indemnification obligations of Parent and the Guarantor for breaches of representations and warranties pursuant to Section 10.3(i) shall not exceed the Cap Amount, provided that this limitation shall not apply to breaches of the Parent Fundamental Representations. The aggregate indemnification obligation of Parent and the Guarantor for breaches of the Parent Fundamental Representations and claims made pursuant to Section 10.3(ii) and Section 10.3(iii) shall not exceed $10,000,000.

(d) After the Effective Time, Parent shall seek recovery with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 and Section 10.2(a) against the Indemnity Escrow Funds (to the extent available) before seeking recovery directly from the Merger Stockholders.

10.5. No Contribution. Each Stockholder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Stockholder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement.

10.6. Demands. If any Indemnitee believes such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by any Indemnitor pursuant to this Article X with respect to any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (such third party demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding being referred to herein as a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnitee agrees that, promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity

under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee will give prompt notice thereof in writing to Parent, if the Indemnitee is a Stockholder, or the Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Stockholders, if the Indemnitee is Parent. Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure of the Indemnitee to give such notice in a timely manner shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have on account of this Article X or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby.

10.7. Right to Contest and Defend. The Indemnitor shall be entitled at its cost and expense to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim for which it has received notice from the Indemnitee under Section 12.7 and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.7, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) for such defense; provided that the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel only if (i) the claim involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages, (ii) the Indemnitor expressly agrees in writing to the Indemnitee that, as between the two, the Indemnitor is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim and (iii) the Indemnitor makes reasonably adequate provision to satisfy the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s ability to satisfy and discharge the claim (the foregoing collectively, the “Litigation Conditions”); provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall forfeit the right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim if, at any time after assuming the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnitor no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions; provided, further, that notice of the intention to so control the defense shall be delivered by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee within twenty (20) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party claim so requires) from the date of receipt by the Indemnitor of notice by the Indemnitee of the assertion of the Third Party Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee, as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted by reputable counsel employed by the Indemnitor, but the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the election by the Indemnitor to assume the defense, the Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee, if and only to the extent that (i) the Indemnitor has not employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, (ii) the employment of counsel and the amount reimbursable therefor by the Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by the Indemnitor or (iii) representation of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee by the same counsel would, in the reasonable opinion of such counsel, constitute a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct. The Indemnitor shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect to a Third Party Claim the defense of which it has assumed in accordance with this Section 10.7; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not have the authority to subject the Indemnitee to any non-monetary relief whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks, and any settlement of a claim must include a full release of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the control of the defense of any such Third Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or fails to satisfy the Litigation Conditions, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim.

10.8. Cooperation. The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee agree to cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any other Person, including giving each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto, subject to receipt of a reasonable confidentiality agreement. The Indemnitor shall be obliged to reimburse the Indemnitee for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to such cooperation.

10.9. Miscellaneous.

(a) It is agreed that, after the Effective Time, in determining for purposes of this Article X whether there has been any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty by the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement or in any agreement, certificate or instrument furnished or to be furnished pursuant hereto or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and for purposes of calculating the amount of Damages to which an Indemnitee is entitled as a result of any such inaccuracy or breach, such representation or warranty shall not be deemed qualified by any concept of “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualification.

(b) No right of indemnification hereunder shall be limited by reason of any investigation or audit conducted before or after the Closing or the knowledge of any party of any breach of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by the other party at any time, or the decision of any party to complete the Closing; it being understood that any matter set forth on the disclosure schedules to this Agreement shall be interpreted as an exception to any specific representations and warranties to which such matter is directly responsive.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no limitation or condition of liability or indemnity shall apply to any rights or claims based upon fraudulent or intentional misrepresentation; provided however, that no Merger Stockholder shall have any liability hereunder for Damages in excess of such Merger Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Damages that would otherwise be payable by such Merger Stockholder hereunder arising from any such rights or claims unless such Merger Stockholder was a knowing party to such fraud or misrepresentation.

(d) The limitations on the indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 10.2 and 10.3 shall not apply to any covenants or agreements of the Company, Parent or Merger Sub in this Agreement.

ARTICLE XI.

(a) to execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement (with such modifications or changes therein to which the Stockholders’ Agent, in his reasonable discretion, shall consent) and to agree to such amendments or modifications thereto as the Stockholders’ Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to give effect to the matters set forth in this Article XII;

(b) to execute and deliver such waivers and consents in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby as the Stockholders’ Agent, in his reasonable discretion, may deem necessary or desirable to give effect to the intentions of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby;

(c) as the representative of the Merger Stockholders, to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Merger Stockholders and to enforce and protect the rights and interests of the Stockholders’ Agent arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this

Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and, in connection therewith, to (i) assert or institute any claim for indemnification on behalf of the Stockholder Indemnitees; (ii) investigate, defend, contest or litigate any claim for indemnification initiated by the Parent or Merger Sub, or any other Person, against the Stockholders’ Agent, the Merger Consideration Escrow Funds and/or the Indemnity Escrow Funds, and receive process on behalf of any or all Merger Stockholders in any such claim and compromise or settle on such terms as the Stockholders’ Agent shall determine to be appropriate and give receipts, releases and discharges on behalf of all of the Merger Stockholders with respect to any such claim; (iii) file any proofs, debts, claims and petitions as the Stockholders’ Agent may deem advisable or necessary; (iv) settle or compromise any claims asserted under this Agreement; (v) assume, on behalf of all of the Merger Stockholders, the defense of any claim that is the basis of any claim asserted under this Agreement; and (vi) file and prosecute appeals from any decision, judgment or award rendered in any of the foregoing claims, it being understood that the Stockholders’ Agent shall not have any obligation to take, and shall not have liability for any failure to take, any such any action;

(d) to enforce payment from the Indemnity Escrow Funds and any other amounts payable to the Merger Stockholders, in each case on behalf of the Merger Stockholders, in the name of the Stockholders’ Agent;

(e) to cause to be paid out of the Indemnity Escrow Funds the full amount of any judgment or judgments and legal interest and costs awarded in favor of any Parent Indemnitee arising out of the indemnification provisions set forth in Article X of this Agreement;

(f) to cause to be paid out of the Merger Consideration Escrow Funds the full amount of the Post-Closing Decrease Amount;

(g) to waive or refrain from enforcing any right of the Merger Stockholders or any of them and/or of the Stockholders’ Agent arising out of or under or in any manner relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereby or thereby; and

(h) to make, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other agreements, guarantees, orders, receipts, endorsements, notices, requests, instructions, certificates, stock powers, letters and other writings, and, in general, to do any and all things and to take any and all action that the Stockholders’ Agent, in its sole and absolute direction, may consider necessary or proper or convenient in connection with or to carry out the activities described in paragraphs (a) through (g) above and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon the communications of the Stockholders’ Agent relating to the foregoing as the communications of the Merger Stockholders. Neither Parent, Merger Sub, the Guarantor nor the Surviving Corporation (a) need be concerned with the authority of the Stockholders’ Agent to act on behalf of all Merger Stockholders hereunder or (b) shall be held liable or accountable in any manner for any act or omission of the Stockholders’ Agent in such capacity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the Stockholders’ Agent may not enter into or grant any amendments or

modifications described in Section 12.1(a) or waivers or consents described in Section 12.1(b) unless such amendments, modifications, waivers or consents shall affect each Merger Stockholder similarly and to the same relative extent and (ii) any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent that does not affect any Merger Stockholder similarly and to the same relative extent as it affects other Merger Stockholders must be executed by such Merger Stockholder to be binding on such Merger Stockholder.

The grant of authority provided for in this Section 12.1 is coupled with an interest and is being granted, in part, as an inducement to the Company, Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Merger Stockholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and shall survive any distribution from the Escrow Agent.

12.2. Compensation; Exculpation; Indemnity.

(a) The Stockholders’ Agent shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of his service hereunder.

(b) In dealing with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any instruments, agreements or documents relating thereto, and in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the powers conferred upon the Stockholders’ Agent hereunder or thereunder, (i) the Stockholders’ Agent shall not assume any, and shall incur no, responsibility whatsoever to any Merger Stockholder by reason of any error in judgment or other act or omission performed or omitted hereunder or in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any instruments, agreements or documents relating thereto, unless by the Stockholders’ Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and (ii) the Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts experienced in the matter at issue, and any error in judgment or other act or omission of the Stockholders’ Agent pursuant to such advice shall in no event subject the Stockholders’ Agent to liability to any Merger Stockholder, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person, unless by the Stockholders’ Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(c) Each Merger Stockholder, severally, shall indemnify the Stockholders’ Agent up to, but not exceeding, an amount equal to the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration received by such Merger Stockholder under Article II of this Agreement, which indemnification shall be paid by such Merger Stockholder based upon such Merger Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of such amount, against all damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against him, of any nature whatsoever, arising out of or in connection with any claim or in connection with any appeal thereof, relating to the acts or omissions of the Stockholders’ Agent hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or otherwise, except for such damages, liabilities, claims, obligations, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and other experts’ fees and the amount of any judgment against the Stockholders’ Agent that arise from the Stockholders’ Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, including the willful breach of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.
