FORECLOSURE AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

FORECLOSURE AND ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 24, 2010 (the “Execution Date”), by and among Rosenthal & Rosenthal, Inc., a New York corporation (“Rosenthal”), GT Systems Inc., a New York corporation (“GT”), Eric Goldstein (“Mr. Goldstein”), GT’s operating affiliates party hereto (collectively, the “Operating Affiliates”, and together with GT, collectively, “Borrowers” and each, individually, a “Borrower”, and together with Mr. Goldstein, the “Obligors” and each, individually, an “Obligor”), Corporate Resource Development Inc., a Delaware Corporation (“Buyer”), Corporate Resource Services, Inc. (“CRS”) and Tri-State Employment Services, Inc. (“Tri-State” and together with CRS, “Guarantors”). Obligors, Rosenthal, Buyer and Guarantors are referred to collectively herein as the “Parties.”

WHEREAS, Borrowers and Rosenthal are parties to that Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of September 11, 2007, as amended, supplemented, assumed or otherwise modified from time to time (the “2007 Loan Agreement”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to the 2007 Loan Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions therein, Rosenthal agreed to make revolving loans to Borrowers in the original principal amount of up to $27,000,000 (the “Revolver Loans”) and to make a term loan to Borrowers in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (the “Term Loan” and together with the Revolver Loans, the “Loans”). The Loans are secured by all of the assets of Borrowers and are guaranteed by (i) Mr. Goldstein, as the sole owner of each Borrower, which guarantee is secured by a security interest in certain of Mr. Goldstein’s assets, including, among other things, a cooperative apartment located at 866 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10065, and (ii) Iris Goldstein pursuant to a guaranty limited to her interest in such cooperative apartment;

WHEREAS, there have occurred and continue to exist Events of Default under the 2007 Loan Agreement (as such term is defined therein), including, but not limited to, those set forth in that certain Amendment No. 2 and Forbearance Agreement (the “Forbearance Agreement”), dated as of December 19, 2008, among Borrowers and Rosenthal and the letter from Rosenthal to Borrowers dated August 10, 2009 (the “Reservation of Rights Letter”) and the following additional Events of Default, among others, subsequent to the delivery of the Reservation of Rights Letter and prior to the date hereof: the continued existences of Over-advances (as defined in the 2007 Loan Agreement) above any amounts agreed to by Rosenthal, and Borrowers’ violation of the Tangible Net Worth covenant and Working Capital covenant (each as defined in the 2007 Loan Agreement) for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2009 (collectively, the “Designated Events of Default”);

WHEREAS, as of March 3, 2010, the outstanding principal amount of, and accrued but unpaid interest on, and bank fees and expenses on, the indebtedness evidenced by the Loans is approximately $15,885,152;

WHEREAS, each Obligor agrees that all of the Obligations (as defined in the 2007 Loan Agreement) to Rosenthal are secured by a properly perfected, first priority lien on the Collateral (as defined in the 2007 Loan Agreement);

WHEREAS, by reason of the expiration of the Forbearance Agreement and the existence of the Designated Events of Default, Rosenthal presently has the right to (i) declare all of the Loans and other Obligations to be immediately due and payable, (ii) terminate the right of Borrowers to receive any further advance of the Loans, (iii) terminate the 2007 Loan Agreement, and (iv) realize upon, and exercise its rights with respect to, the Collateral pursuant to the 2007 Loan Agreement and the accompanying loan documents and as otherwise provided by applicable law, in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in the loan documents or available at law or in equity (such rights being called, collectively, the “Lender Rights”). Further, in addition to any action heretofore taken by Rosenthal, the existing Designated Events of Default permitted Rosenthal to immediately exercise any and all rights and remedies provided in the Loan Documents (as defined hereinafter) and pursuant to applicable law to collect the Obligations and take actions to foreclose, sell and collect the Subject Collateral (as defined hereinafter);

WHEREAS, each Obligor agrees that Rosenthal may enforce its rights as a secured creditor after default, including, without limitation, by selling all of Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to any or all of the tangible and intangible assets subject to Rosenthal’s liens (collectively, the “Subject Collateral”), and further acknowledges and agrees that the anticipated outcome of such steps would be the partial reimbursement of the Obligations owed to Rosenthal;

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that under the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Obligor will maintain control over its business and operations until the Closing Date, it being understood and agreed that on the Closing Date each Obligor will relinquish dominion and control over the Purchased Assets (as defined hereinafter) to Buyer;

WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the continued conduct of the business and operations of the Borrowers with respect to the Purchased Assets would not generate a benefit for creditors;

WHEREAS, Obligors have been provided with sufficient time and opportunity to consult with attorneys, appraisers and accountants of their choice to obtain advice regarding this Agreement and the value of the Collateral;

WHEREAS, Rosenthal has asked Obligors and each Obligor has agreed, to surrender possession of the Subject Collateral solely for the purpose of effecting a private sale, and Buyer desires to purchase certain of the Subject Collateral on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Rosenthal, Obligors and Buyer desire to enter into this Agreement to memorialize their agreement as to Rosenthal’s collection and other disposition of the Subject Collateral pursuant to Article 9 (“Article 9”) of the UCC (as hereinafter defined) in a secured creditor’s private sale and Buyer’s purchase thereof and related matters.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, of the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

OBLIGORS’ ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, AGREEMENTS AND WAIVERS

Section 1.1 Acknowledgment of Factual Matters

Each Obligor acknowledges and confirms the truth and accuracy of the recitals set forth in the recital paragraphs of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the immediately preceding sentence, each Obligor acknowledges and confirms: (i) the existence of the Designated Events of Default and (ii) that, by reason of the Designated Events of Default, Rosenthal presently has the right to exercise the Lender Rights. Further, each Obligor acknowledges and confirms that, on Rosenthal’s demand, Rosenthal is entitled to exercise any or all of the Lender Rights and thereupon all of the Obligations will be immediately due and payable to Rosenthal in full, without offset, defense, recoupment or counterclaim, and that no Obligor has any claim or defense of any kind, by way of offset or otherwise, to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations. Obligors, jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally promise to pay and perform all Obligations.

Section 1.2 Disposition of Purchased Assets

Each Obligor hereby consents and authorizes Rosenthal to commence immediately all actions that Rosenthal considers in its sole judgment to be necessary or desirable to effectuate a foreclosure of the Purchased Assets. For purposes of this Agreement, “foreclosure” includes, without limitation, Rosenthal’s exercise of its rights in the Purchased Assets as collateral as a secured party after the debtors’ default, sending notice to certain parties in accordance with the UCC, including, without limitation, the debtors, certain other creditors of the debtors, and other parties identified by Obligors who have expressed interest in acquiring the Purchased Assets, of Rosenthal’s intention to sell the Purchased Assets at a private sale pursuant to Article 9 under this Agreement (“Article 9 Sale”) and selling the Purchased Assets at such Article 9 Sale; for the avoidance of doubt, “foreclosure” shall not mean a judicial sale of the Purchased Assets. Each Obligor hereby consents to the foreclosure and disposition of the Purchased Assets to be made by Rosenthal to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or such other agreement providing for the sale of the Purchased Assets, and each Obligor represents, warrants and covenants that every aspect of Rosenthal’s disposition of the Purchased Assets at a private sale pursuant to this Agreement, including the method, manner, time, place and other terms, are commercially reasonable. Rosenthal is not, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, taking possession of any of the Purchased Assets, and each Obligor will continue to have dominion and control over the Purchased Assets in its possession until the Closing Date. On the Closing Date, each Obligor will be deemed to have irrevocably abandoned and surrendered to Buyer all possession of, dominion and control over, all rights to collect, and all other rights to the sold or otherwise transferred Purchased Assets, and Rosenthal will be deemed to have irrevocably abandoned and surrendered any security interest, lien, other encumbrance, claim or right to Borrowers’ right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets.

Section 1.3 Deficiency; Surplus

The proceeds of the sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement or any other foreclosure, sale, collection or other disposition of the remaining Subject Collateral shall be applied to repay the Obligations to Rosenthal. To the extent that the proceeds of the sale of the Purchased Assets pursuant to this Agreement or any other foreclosure, sale, collection, or other disposition of the remaining Subject Collateral are insufficient to fully repay the Obligations to Rosenthal, each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that it or he will be jointly and severally responsible for any such deficiency. To the extent all Obligations have been fully and completely paid and satisfied, Rosenthal agrees that any portion of the Purchase Price in excess of the Obligations shall be transferred and turned over to the Designated Obligor.

Section 1.4 Waiver of Notice and Right to Redeem

Each Obligor’s agreement to enter into this Agreement is voluntary and has not been induced by coercion of any type. Each Obligor irrevocably waives any right to redeem all or any of the Subject Collateral under the UCC or any other applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Obligor irrevocably waives any right to further notice of any sale or other disposition of the Subject Collateral under Section 9-611 of the UCC or otherwise. In addition, no authorizations and consents under this Agreement shall constitute Rosenthal’s retention of the Subject Collateral in satisfaction of the Obligations under Section 9-620 of the UCC and, therefore, such authorizations and consents under this Agreement will not extinguish any deficiency hereafter owing by any Obligor with respect to the Obligations.

Section 1.5 Liabilities and Liens Remain Outstanding

Rosenthal and Obligors specifically acknowledge and agree that the Loans and other Obligations shall remain outstanding, and Rosenthal does not release any, but instead specifically reserves all, security interests, liens and other encumbrances and rights, including, without limitation, Lender Rights, relating thereto, in all assets and collateral described in the Loan Documents which are not included in the Purchased Assets and not sold to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, all of the Excluded Assets.

Section 1.6 Separate Entities; No Agency Relationship

Rosenthal is not, and is not to be construed or deemed to be, a successor of any Obligor, it being understood and agreed that Rosenthal shall not and does not by virtue of this Agreement or Obligors’ authorizations and consents under this Agreement, assume or agree to assume any liability whatsoever of any Obligor, nor does Rosenthal assume or agree to assume any obligation of any Obligor under any lease, contract, agreement, or any other document to which any Obligor is a party, by which each Obligor is or may be bound, or which in any manner affects the Subject Collateral, including the Purchased Assets, or any part thereof. In exercising its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Rosenthal is not acting as the agent of any Obligor, Buyer or the Guarantors and does not assume and will not be deemed to have assumed any agency obligation toward, or relationship of agency or trust with or for, any Obligor, Buyer or the Guarantors.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS

Section 2.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets

On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Rosenthal shall, in a secured creditor’s Article 9 Sale, sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall, in a secured creditor’s Article 9 Sale, purchase and acquire from Rosenthal, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Assumed Liabilities, all of Borrowers’ right, title and interest, as of the Closing, in and to the following assets, properties and rights that are used in connection with the Business as currently conducted by Borrowers (collectively, the “Purchased Assets”):

(b) any cash and cash equivalents other than deposits described in Section 2.1(e), including checks received pending collection as of the close of business on the Closing Date, notes, bank deposits, certificates of deposit and marketable securities;

(c) any receivables arising from the operation of the Business and services performed in connection with the Business prior to the Closing Date (whether or not billed or invoiced prior to the Closing Date), including, without limitation, all receivables with respect to permanent placement of employees (i) placed with or introduced to a prospective employer prior to Closing Date, and (ii) employed on a permanent basis with such prospective employer, whether or not prior to Closing Date;

(e) any contracts and agreements, whether written or oral, other than the Assumed Contracts; provided, however, that in the event that the required Consents related to the Assumed Contracts are not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, then the Assumed Contract for which such consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed an Excluded Asset hereunder;

(f) the Purchase Price to be paid to Rosenthal by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and any rights of Rosenthal under this Agreement and any other agreements, documents, certificates and instruments to be delivered at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.6(c) hereof;

(g) any interests in any real estate including any leases;

(i) GT’s corporate name;

(j) any minute books, corporate seals, stock record books and stock transfer records of Borrowers; and

(k) any Fixed Assets owned by The Tuttle Agency of Pennsylvania, Inc.

Section 2.3 Assumed Liabilities

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall assume and pay, honor, perform and discharge when due the following liabilities and obligations, to the extent arising and relating to the period after the Closing (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(a) all liabilities and obligations under the Assumed Contracts for the period after the Closing if and only if the required Consents related to applicable Assumed Contracts are obtained on or prior to the Closing Date; and

(b) all liabilities and obligations with respect to the operation of the Business after the Closing.

Section 2.4 Excluded Liabilities

Buyer shall not assume, and each Obligor shall remain exclusively obligated to discharge, all liabilities and obligations of Obligors (whether known or unknown, including but not limited to any liabilities incurred with respect to the Borrower Employee Plans) other than the Assumed Liabilities (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). Buyer and Obligors each agree that Rosenthal is not assuming nor shall it be liable for any liabilities and obligations of Obligors, including, without limitation, any federal, state or local taxes.

Section 2.5 Purchase Price

(a) The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) paid by the Buyer for the Purchased Assets shall be the sum of Three Million Dollars (the “Cash Purchase Price”) and the CRS Shares, plus the assumption by the Buyer of the Assumed Liabilities.

(b) Payment of Cash Purchase Price.

(i) Buyer has previously paid to Rosenthal, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of a letter of intent by CRS, Rosenthal and Obligors dated March 19, 2010, as amended (the “Letter of Intent”), the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (the “Deposit”) and is paying to Rosenthal in accordance with the Letter of Intent, contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement the additional sum of One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) (the “Signing Deposit”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions of Rosenthal. The Deposit and the Signing Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer only if the Closing is not effective by April 5, 2010 (or such later date agreed to by the Parties) for any reason other than (x) Buyer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or agreements under this Agreement or (y) Rosenthal’s or the Obligors’ breach of any of their respective representations, warranties, covenants, conditions or agreements under this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, if the Closing does not occur by the Outside Date because of actions taken by Habib Noor, then the Deposit and the Signing Deposit shall be nonrefundable and retained by Rosenthal, and Rosenthal and the Obligors shall have no further remedy against the Buyer except in the event Rosenthal or the Obligors incur Liabilities.

(ii) On or before April 2, 2010, Buyer shall pay Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) (the “Closing Payment”) to Rosenthal by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions of Rosenthal. The Deposit, the Signing Deposit and the Closing Payment are collectively referred to in the aggregate as the “Initial Payment.”

(iii) Buyer shall pay Rosenthal the balance of the Cash Purchase Price, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as follows, in accordance with the instructions of Rosenthal:

(A) Four (4) quarterly payments (“Quarterly Payments”) of $250,000 each, with the first payment made on the 3-month anniversary of the Closing Date and succeeding Quarterly Payments to be made on each of the 6-month, 9-month and 12-month anniversaries of the Closing Date, for total Quarterly Payments aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000); and

(B) Subject to Section 2.5(b)(iv) below, commencing on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, monthly payments (“Gross Sales Payments”), payable within ten days of the end of each month, equal to 0.75% of the gross sales of the Business (as operated by Buyer following the Closing Date) for such month attributable to the Purchased Assets and evidenced by a certificate from Buyer verifying such amount.

(iv) Maximum Cash Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.5(b) to the contrary, in no event shall the Cash Purchase Price exceed $3,000,000 in the aggregate. Consequently, the Gross Sales Payments shall be reduced and/or terminate once Rosenthal has received $3,000,000 in the aggregate. By way of example only, if on any date on which a Gross Sales Payment is payable to Rosenthal, Buyer has already paid to Rosenthal a total of $2,950,000 (the Initial Payment of $750,000, four Quarterly Payments totaling $1,000,000 and Gross Sales Payments totaling $1,200,000), and if on such date the Gross Sales Payment calculated under Section 2.5(b)(iii)(B) would have been $200,000, such Gross Sales Payment shall nevertheless be limited to $50,000, bringing the total Cash Purchase Price to $3,000,000, and after payment thereof the Cash Purchase Price shall have been paid in full and no further Gross Sales Payments shall be required.

(v) On the third anniversary of the Closing Date, any portion of the Cash Purchase Price outstanding shall be due and payable by Buyer to Rosenthal by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the instructions of Rosenthal.

(vi) If Rosenthal notifies Buyer in writing that all Obligations under the 2007 Loan Agreement have been fully paid and satisfied, any payments of the Cash Purchase Price following such notification shall be made to the Designated Obligor. In such event any reference in this Agreement to payments to Rosenthal shall be deemed payments to the Designated Obligor. Rosenthal shall, within five (5) Business Days from the date that all such Obligations have been fully paid and satisfied, notify Buyer in writing (with a copy sent to GT and Mr. Goldstein) of such event.

Section 2.6 Closing Transactions

(a) Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 10.1, and subject to the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX, the closing and effectiveness of the Transactions (the “Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on a date to be specified by the Parties (the “Closing Date”), which shall be not later than the second Business Day after the satisfaction or, if permissible, waiver of the conditions set forth in Article IX (other than those that by their terms are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing), at the offices of Bryan Cave, LLP, 1290 Avenue of the Americas, New York, NY 10104, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the Parties.

(b) Actions and Deliveries by Rosenthal and Obligors. At the Closing, Rosenthal and/or Obligors, as applicable, shall deliver to Buyer:

(i) a bill of sale substantially in the form of Exhibit A dated the Closing Date and duly executed by Borrowers and Rosenthal (the “Bill of Sale”);

(ii) a list of permanent placements in process as of March 28, 2010, to be delivered by Obligors;

(iii) a list of all billed pre-closing receivables as of March 28, 2010, that are included in the Excluded Assets pursuant to Section 2.2(c); and

(iv) the certificates and documents required to be delivered by Rosenthal and/or Obligors, as applicable, pursuant to Section 9.2.

(i) any filings or other evidence indicating that any Taxes, fees and charges described in Section 8.4 that are due on or prior to the Closing Date have been paid by Buyer;

(ii) the certificates and documents required to be delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 9.3; and

(iii) the Bill of Sale dated the Closing Date and duly executed by Buyer.

Section 2.7 Allocations

The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in accordance with Exhibit B hereto. Each of Rosenthal and Buyer agrees to complete (and, if required by law, file) IRS Form 8594 (and any amended Forms 8594) consistently with such allocation and, if requested by the other Party hereto, to furnish such Party with a copy of such Form prepared in draft form no less than 45 days prior to the filing due date of such Form. Neither Rosenthal nor Buyer shall file any Return or take a position with any taxing authority or in connection with any Tax-related Action or audit that is inconsistent with this Section 2.7.

Section 2.8 Non-Assignable Assets

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the assignment of any contracts or the transfer of any properties or assets requires the consent of any other Person or Governmental Authority and such consent has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or transfer any such contracts, properties or assets or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom if any such attempted assignment or transfer would constitute a breach or default thereunder or otherwise materially adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder. If consent to the assignment or transfer of any such contracts, properties or assets is not obtained, or if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof in the absence of such a consent would be ineffective or would materially adversely affect the rights of Buyer thereunder, then, at Buyer’s request, Obligors shall cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide to Buyer the benefits under such contracts, properties or assets; provided that such cooperation by Obligors shall not cause Obligors to violate any terms of any such contract or any applicable Law; provided, further, that Buyer shall assume all of the post-Closing liabilities and obligations of Obligors under such contracts to the extent to which Buyer receives the post-Closing benefits thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 2.8 shall require Buyer to waive any condition to Closing contained in Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof or excuse Rosenthal or Obligors from making all deliveries required by Section 2.6(b).

No such notice to Buyer and Rosenthal shall have any effect on the determination of whether or not any of the conditions to Closing or to the consummation of the Transactions have been satisfied or in determining whether or not any of the representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement have been breached.

Section 6.3 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation

(a) Each Obligor hereby acknowledges that it is familiar with the Business and the trade secrets and with other confidential information related to the Business. Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that Buyer would be irreparably damaged if any of Obligors, or any of their respective Affiliates, were to provide services to or otherwise participate in the business of any Person competing with the Business in a similar business and that any such competition by such Obligor would result in a significant loss of goodwill by Buyer. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees that the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 6.3 were good and sufficient consideration for Obligors and were a material inducement to Buyer and Rosenthal to enter into this Agreement and to perform their respective obligations hereunder, and that Buyer and Rosenthal would not obtain the benefit of the bargain set forth in this Agreement as specifically negotiated by the Parties hereto if such Obligor breached the provisions of this Section 6.3. Therefore, each Obligor agrees, in further consideration of the Purchased Assets and the goodwill of the Business sold by such Obligor, that during the three (3) year period after the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), each Obligor shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly or indirectly own any interest in, manage, control, participate in (whether as an owner, officer, director, manager, employee, partner, agent, representative or otherwise), consult with, render services for, or in any other manner engage anywhere in the Restricted Territories in any business engaged directly or indirectly relating to the Business or the business engaged in by Buyer; provided that nothing herein shall prohibit any Obligor from being a passive owner of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of a corporation which is publicly traded so long as none of such Persons has any active participation in the business of such corporation. Each Obligor acknowledges that the Business and Buyer’s business has been conducted or is presently proposed to be conducted throughout the Restricted Territories and that the geographic restrictions and time periods, as well as all other restrictions and covenants contained in Section 6.3 are reasonable and necessary, and supported by good and valuable consideration, to protect the goodwill of Buyer’s business and the Business being sold by each Borrower pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Each Obligor agrees that it shall not (and each Obligor shall cause its Affiliates not to) directly, or indirectly through another Person during the Restricted Period, (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Business, or any of their Affiliates to leave the employ of the Business, Buyer or any of their Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between the Business, Buyer or any of their Affiliates and any employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who was an employee of the Business, Buyer or any of their Affiliates at any time during the twelve-month period immediately prior to the date on which such hiring would take place (it being conclusively presumed by the parties so as to avoid any disputes under this Section 6.3(b) that any such hiring within such twelve-month period is in violation of clause (i) above), or (iii) call on, solicit or service any client, customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or other business relation of Buyer, the Business, or any of their Affiliates (including any Person that was a client, customer, supplier or other potential business relation of Buyer, the Business, or any of their Affiliates at any time during the twelve month period immediately prior to such call, solicit or service), induce or attempt to induce such Person to cease doing business with the Business, Buyer or any of their Affiliates, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee, licensor or business relation and the Business, Buyer or any of their Affiliates (including making any negative statements or communications about the Business, Buyer or any of their Affiliates). After the Closing, no Obligor shall make any negative statements or communications about Buyer, the Business, the Purchased Assets or any of their Affiliates’ businesses.

(c) If, at the time of enforcement of the covenants contained in this Section 6.3 (the “Restrictive Covenants”), a court shall hold that the duration, scope or area restrictions stated herein are unreasonable under circumstances then existing, the Parties agree that the maximum duration, scope or area reasonable under such circumstances shall be substituted for the stated duration, scope or area and that the court shall be allowed and directed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. Each Obligor has consulted with legal counsel regarding the Restrictive Covenants and based on such consultation has determined and hereby acknowledges that the Restrictive Covenants are reasonable in terms of duration, scope and area restrictions and are necessary to protect the goodwill of the Business, Buyer’s business and the substantial investment in the Business made by Buyer hereunder.

(d) If any Obligor or any Affiliate of any Obligor breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the Restrictive Covenants, Buyer shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which rights and remedies shall be independent of the others and severally enforceable, and each of which is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to Buyer at law or in equity: (i) the right and remedy to have the Restrictive Covenants specifically enforced by any court of competent jurisdiction, it being agreed that any breach or threatened breach of the Restrictive Covenants would cause irreparable injury to the Business and Buyer and that money damages would not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer and that a bond of no more than $250 is sufficient to any action by Buyer for temporary or injunctive relief; and (ii) the right and remedy to require such Obligor to account for and pay over to Buyer any profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits derived or received by such Person as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of the Restrictive Covenants.

(e) In the event of any breach or violation by any Obligor of any of the Restrictive Covenants, the time period of such covenant shall be tolled until such breach or violation is resolved.

(f) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit Rosenthal with respect to clause (i) below, and Obligors and any Affiliates of Obligors, from (i) collecting any receivables of Borrowers arising from the operation of the Business prior to the Closing, (ii) winding down the business of Borrowers (other than the Business and the Purchased Assets), or (iii) actively participating or engaging in the business of the Excluded Industries.

Section 6.4 Name Change

On the Execution Date, Mr. Goldstein and GT shall (i) deliver to Buyer for filing, the documents necessary to amend the organizational documents of Tuttle Agency of Pennsylvania, Inc., and (ii) take all other actions requested by Buyer to change the name of Tuttle Agency of Pennsylvania, Inc. to a name sufficiently dissimilar to Tuttle Agency of Pennsylvania, Inc., in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, to avoid confusion; provided, that Buyer hereby agrees not to file such documents until on or after the Closing Date. Between the Execution Date and the Closing Date, and after the Closing Date, Mr. Goldstein and GT shall and shall cause each of the Operating Affiliates to take all other actions reasonably requested by Buyer to enable Buyer to utilize the names of each of the Operating Affiliates, as dbas, assumed names, trade names or otherwise. After the Closing Date, no Obligor or any of their respective Affiliates, shall transact business as, or use in the conduct of its businesses or otherwise, the name used by it as of the date hereof or any other similar names. Furthermore, after the Closing, Mr. Goldstein and GT shall and shall cause each of the Operating Affiliates to discontinue the use of the current names of the Operating Affiliates (and any other trade names currently utilized by the Operating Affiliates) and shall not subsequently change its name to or otherwise use or employ any name that is similar to the name that is used by it as of the date hereof without the prior written consent of Buyer. From and after the Closing, each Obligor covenants and agrees not to and to cause its Affiliates not to use or otherwise employ any of the trade names, corporate names, dbas or similar Intellectual Property rights utilized by Obligors in the conduct of the Business, which rights are included in the Purchased Assets purchased hereunder. If the Closing does not take place on or by the Outside Date and this Agreement has been terminated, Buyer shall promptly return to GT the documents delivered by Mr. Goldstein and GT on the Execution Date pursuant to this Section 6.4.

Section 6.5 Payments to Employees

Borrowers covenant and agree that they shall pay all employees of the Business for services rendered by said employees through the day prior to the Closing Date.

Section 11.4 Procedures for Indemnification for Third Party Claims

For purposes of this Article XI, any Party entitled to be indemnified under Article XI is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party,” and any Party obligated to provide indemnification under Article XI is referred to herein as an “Indemnifying Party.” The obligations and liabilities of the Parties under this Article XI with respect to, relating to or arising out of claims of third parties (individually, a “Third Party Claim” and, collectively, the “Third Party Claims”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the receipt) of any Third Party Claim, and the Indemnifying Party may undertake the defense of that claim by representatives chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that (i) such Third Party Claim involves only monetary (and does not involve criminal or quasi criminal allegations or a claim which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects) and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing its indemnification obligations hereunder in respect of such claim. Any such notice of a Third Party Claim shall identify with reasonable specificity the basis for the Third Party Claim, the facts giving rise to the Third Party Claim and the amount of the Third Party Claim (or, if such amount is not yet known, a reasonable estimate of the amount of the Third Party Claim). The Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party copies of all relevant documents and records in its possession. Failure of an Indemnified Party to give prompt notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify, except to the extent that the failure to so notify materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such claim against a third party.

(b) If (i) the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability, (ii) the Indemnifying Party accepts it liability but chooses not to defend the Third-Party Claim, (iii) the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend the Third-Party Claim but any time thereafter fails to prosecute or defend vigorously and diligently or settle the Third-Party Claim or (iv) the Indemnifying Party fails to give notice of its acceptance or dispute of its liability within the thirty-day notice period, then the Indemnified Party will have the right (but not the obligation) to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third-Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall make its election whether or not to defend within ten (10) calendar days after the expiration of the thirty-day notice period (if it fails to give any notice whatsoever during this period, it shall be deemed to have elected not to defend). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including any compromise or settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any third-party claim that the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.4(b), the Indemnifying Party will not bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this Section 11.4 or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request.

(c) Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such claim and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel (other than expenses reasonably incurred prior to the Indemnifying Party’s assumption of the defense) shall be at the expense of each Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed to pay such expenses; (ii) the Indemnifying Party has failed promptly to assume the defense and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; or (iii) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include any Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or an Affiliate of the Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that either (x) there is reasonably likely to be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or such Affiliate or (y) a conflict of interest is reasonably likely to exist if such counsel represents such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or its Affiliate; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be responsible hereunder for the fees and expenses of more than one such firm of separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel), which counsel shall be designated by such Indemnified Party.

(d) Without the consent of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party or Parties shall not consent to, and the Indemnified Party shall not be required to agree to, the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement (A) where the Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party proposes to settle involves the business reputation of the Purchaser or its Affiliates or the possible criminal culpability of the Purchaser or its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors or employees, and (B) unless such judgment or settlement (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving of a release from all liability with respect to such claim by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party that is the subject of such Third-Party Claim, (ii) provides that the sole relief is monetary damages which are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party or Parties (and such monetary damages shall be actually paid in full by the Indemnifying Party or Parties) and (iii) does not include a statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

Section 11.5 Indemnification Limitations

(a) Time Limits On Indemnification. No claim for indemnification hereunder on account of a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty shall be made after the expiration of the survival periods referred to in Section 12.1 of this Agreement. No claim for indemnification for any other claim hereunder shall be made after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a written claim or written notice for indemnification is given under this Article XI with respect to (i) any representation or warranty or (ii) any other indemnification claim prior to the expiration of its applicable survival period, the claim for indemnification with respect thereto shall continue until such claim is finally resolved.

(b) Net Recovery. The amount which an Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive from an Indemnifying Party under this Article XI with respect to any indemnifiable Liability shall be net of any recovery actually received by such Indemnified Party from unaffiliated third parties (including insurance proceeds (except from self-insurance programs), counterclaims, subrogation actions, warranties and indemnification from, and other claims against, third parties and the like).

(c) Damage Limitation. An Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to indemnification for consequential, punitive, indirect, incidental, speculative or special damages or lost profits, except in the event of fraud.

(d) Waiver of Conditions. The right of an Indemnified Party to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to the accuracy of or compliance with any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall negate the right to indemnification or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations.

(e) Right to Indemnification. No Party shall have a right to indemnification hereunder unless the Liabilities incurred by such Party, in the aggregate, exceed $25,000, at which time such Party shall be entitled to the entire amount of Liabilities incurred by such Party, including the initial $25,000.

(f) Maximum Recovery. (i) The maximum aggregate recovery that Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Rosenthal under this Article XI shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate for claims made through the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and the lesser of (x) $750,000 and (y) $1,000,000 minus Liabilities in respect of claims made through the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, in the aggregate for claims made thereafter. The maximum aggregate recovery that Buyer shall be entitled to receive from the Borrowers under this Article XI shall not exceed $1,000,000 in the aggregate for claims made through the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and the lesser of (x) $750,000 and (y) $1,000,000 minus Liabilities in respect of claims made through the one year anniversary of the Closing Date, in the aggregate for claims made thereafter. Except with respect to claims made pursuant to Section 11.3(b), the maximum aggregate recovery that Rosenthal and the Obligors, in the aggregate, shall be entitled to receive from the Buyer under this Article XI shall be $1,000,000 in the aggregate for claims made through the one year anniversary of the Closing Date and the lesser of (x) $750,000 and (y) $1,000,000 minus Liabilities in respect of claims made through the one year anniversary of the Closing Date in the aggregate for claims made thereafter.

(ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any indemnification claims which apply to the maximum aggregate recovery amount to which Buyer is entitled pursuant to Section 11.5(f)(i) above shall only be applicable to the extent that Buyer actually incurs expenses or is determined liable. By way of example, in the event that there is a Third-Party Claim against both Buyer and Rosenthal and Rosenthal assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim (thereby accepting indemnification liability) and a judgment is entered against Rosenthal for such claim and there is no finding of liability on the part of Buyer but there is a finding of liability on the part of Rosenthal, then the expenses incurred by Rosenthal in defending such claim and any amounts paid by Rosenthal to satisfy such judgment shall not apply to the maximum aggregate recovery amount to which Buyer is entitled pursuant to Section 11.5(f)(i) above.

Section 11.6 Exclusive Remedy

Except as set forth in Sections 2.5(b)(i) and 12.9, the remedies provided in this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties with respect to any claim hereunder.

Section 12.6 Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and to be performed entirely in that State, without regard to conflicts of Laws principles thereof to the extent that the general application of the Laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby. The Parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the County of New York, State of New York, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and the Parties hereby irrevocably agree that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in such state or federal court. The Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which they or any of them may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any such court, and any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

Section 12.7 Counterparts

Section 12.8 Severability

In case any provision in this Agreement shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in a jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified or deleted, as to the jurisdiction involved, only to the extent necessary to render the same valid, legal and enforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby nor shall the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision be affected thereby in any other jurisdiction.

Section 12.9 Specific Performance

(a) The Parties hereto agree that time is of the essence of the Transactions and if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before the Outside Date, Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, unless Buyer’s failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Transactions to be consummated on or before the Outside Date.

(b) The Parties hereto further agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of Sections 6.3, 8.3, and 8.8 were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties further agree that Buyer shall be entitled to seek an injunction or restraining order to prevent breaches of these sections and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof, this being in addition to any other right or remedy to which Buyer may be entitled under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

Section 12.10 Fees and Expenses

Any such extension or waiver shall be valid if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the Parties hereto.

Section 12.13 Guaranty

(a) The Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee the due and punctual payment of the Cash Purchase Price and all other monetary obligations of the Buyer to Rosenthal under this Agreement. Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, that this is a continuing guarantee of payment, and that this guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the Guarantors, and their respective successors and assigns until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the obligations guaranteed hereby.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to Buyer of the Cash Purchase Price and all other monetary obligations of the Buyer to Rosenthal under this Agreement, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guaranty and notice of protest for nonpayment. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of Rosenthal to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Buyer or the Guarantors or (ii) the failure of Rosenthal to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Cash Purchase Price and all other monetary obligations of the Buyer to Rosenthal under this Agreement.

(c) The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including, without limitation, any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of Cash Purchase Price, all other monetary obligations of the Buyer to Rosenthal or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of Rosenthal to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, or any guaranty or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any obligations, or by any other act or omission which may or might otherwise in any manner or to any extent vary the risk or reduce or extinguish the liability of such Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of such Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

(d) Each Guarantor hereby waives and releases in favor of Rosenthal all rights of subrogation against or in respect of Buyer and all rights of indemnification, contribution and reimbursement from Buyer and its property, in each case in connection with this guaranty and any payments made hereunder, and regardless of whether such rights arise by operation of law, pursuant to contract or otherwise until such time as the Cash Purchase Price and all other monetary obligations of the Buyer to Rosenthal under this Agreement have been fully paid.
