Section 1.2 Purchase Price.
 
In full consideration for the sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer and delivery of the Shares to the Buyer by the Stockholders on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders consideration consisting of (a) $6.0 million of  cash consideration at the Closing (the “Closing Cash Payment”); (b) $1.5 million of cash consideration on the one-year anniversary of the Closing, (the “Installment Cash Payment”); (c) $1.5 million in common stock of the Buyer, which shall be issued at the Closing and shall be held in escrow for release to the Stockholders following the one-year anniversary of the Closing, in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 1.7 (the “Stock Payment”); and (d) up to an aggregate of $3.0 million in cash consideration, to be paid in maximum increments of not more than $1.0 million annually, in accordance with the terms set forth in Section 1.2(e) (collectively, in any amount ultimately paid, the “Deferred Transaction Consideration Payment”).   Collectively, the aggregate of the Closing Cash Payment, Installment Cash Payment, the Stock Payment, and the Deferred Transaction Consideration Payment is referred to as the “Purchase Price.”

(a) At the Closing, the Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wire instructions delivered by Stockholders, the Closing Cash Payment, subject to any adjustment pursuant to Section 1.3.
 
(b) At the Closing, the Buyer shall issue and deliver a certificate issued in the name of the Stockholders and representing the Stock Payment, which certificate will be deposited with an escrow agent approved by Buyer and the Company  (the “Escrow Agent”) in accordance with the terms of a standard escrow agreement approved by Buyer and the Company  (the “Escrow Agreement”) for use in connection with discharge of payment obligations owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party as set forth in Article VI;
 
(c) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Release Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release to the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, share certificates representing the aggregate Stock Payment, less the sum of (i) any portion of the Stock Payment used to satisfy any indemnity obligation of any Stockholder pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Claims pending as of the Release Date with respect to any payment obligations owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement (the “Pending Claim Amount”).  After final resolution of any Claims giving rise to the Pending Claim Amount, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, share certificates for Buyer common stock representing the portion of Pending Claim Amount which had been withhold with respect to the Claim at issue, less any portion thereof used to satisfy any Claims giving rise to the Pending Claim Amount. Section 1.8 hereof shall govern the calculation of value of the Stock Payment, the number of shares to be issued to each Stockholder hereunder, and sets out the terms by which the Stock Payment shall be registered for resale by the Stockholders.
 
(d) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date the Buyer shall pay to the Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions delivered by the Representative not less than three (3) business days prior to the Release Date, the Installment Cash Payment.
 
(e) Within the earlier of forty-five (45) days following the end of fiscal year 2011, 2012, and 2013 or ten business days following Buyer’s public announcement of its financial results for each such year (each, a “Deferred Transaction Consideration Measurement Period”), the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a statement, certified as being true and correct by the President or Chief Financial Officer of Buyer, setting forth the additional transaction consideration, if any, earned (“Deferred Transaction Consideration”) for such period as determined in accordance with the provisions as set forth in Exhibit A, together with the basis for the calculation of such Deferred Transaction Consideration (the “Deferred Transaction Consideration Notice”) and shall pay the amount of Deferred Transaction Consideration specified to the Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions delivered by the Representative.  Buyer shall make all of its applicable books and records relating to the calculation of the Deferred Transaction Consideration available for inspection by the Representative or its agents or representative upon reasonable notice.
 
(i) The determination of Deferred Transaction Consideration to be paid to the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, for each Deferred Transaction Consideration Measurement Period shall be final and binding on each party hereto unless the Buyer receives from the Representative a written notice of objection on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) day after delivery to the Representative of such determination (the “Deferred Transaction Consideration Dispute Notice Period”), or if any Deferred Transaction Consideration is payable, within thirty (30) days of the making of such payment; provided however, that if the Stockholders do not have control of all of the books and records of the Company at the time of such notice, then the Deferred Transaction Consideration Notice shall only be considered final and binding to the extent that the information provided by Buyer in such notice is true and accurate.  Such notice shall state in reasonable detail the item or items in dispute, and shall state the amount, if any, of any adjustment that should be made to the determination of Deferred Transaction Consideration (the “Deferred Transaction Consideration Dispute Notice”).
 
(ii) In the event of a dispute regarding the determination of Deferred Transaction Consideration, the Buyer and the Representative shall each use reasonable efforts to resolve any such objections and any such resolution shall be final and binding on all parties hereto.  If the Buyer and the Representative do not resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after the Buyer’s receipt of the Deferred Transaction Consideration Dispute Notice (the “Deferred Transaction Consideration Dispute Date”), then either the Buyer or the Representative may, within five (5) business days after the Deferred Transaction Consideration Dispute Date, submit any such unresolved dispute to a neutral accountanting firm (“Neutral Accountant”) selected by them jointly to resolve the question.  The Buyer and the Representative shall each specify in writing their calculation of the amount of Deferred Transaction Consideration which remains payable and direct the Neutral Accountant to resolve, within thirty (30) days following such submission, such remaining dispute, and such resolution shall be final and binding on all parties hereto.  If neither the Buyer nor the Representative submits any such unresolved dispute to the Neutral Accountant within five (5) business days after the Deferred Transaction Consideration Dispute Date, the Deferred Transaction Consideration, as determined by the Buyer shall be final and binding on all parties hereto.
 
(f) The Neutral Accountant, in undertaking the tasks to be performed by it as provided herein, shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator.  The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant relating to a dispute pursuant to this Section 1.2(e) shall be borne solely by the Buyer if the Buyer is the non-prevailing party or solely by the Stockholders, jointly and severally, if the Representative is the non-prevailing party.  For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “non-prevailing party” shall be the party whose proposed calculation of the Deferred Transaction Consideration submitted to the Neutral Accountant was further from the Deferred Transaction Consideration as finally determined.  If issues in dispute are submitted to the Neutral Accountant for resolution, the Buyer and the Stockholders will furnish to the Neutral Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Neutral Accountant may reasonably request and are available, and each will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Neutral Accountant any material relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Neutral Accountant.  The determination by the Neutral Accountant of the Deferred Transaction Consideration as set forth in a notice delivered by the Neutral Accountant to the Buyer and the Representative shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement.  The Neutral Accountant’s determination may be enforced through a court of competent jurisdiction, but the substance of the Neutral Accountant’s determination shall not be subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction (or otherwise).  The Buyer shall pay to the Representative, on behalf of the Stockholders, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to any portion of the Deferred Transaction on or prior to the fifth business day following determination of such Deferred Transaction Consideration becoming final and binding. If the Neutral Accountant also determines that the underpayment of Deferred Transaction Compensation was not based on a reasonable interpretation of the financial records, Buyer shall pay the amount which was subject to the dispute plus interest at a rate of ten percent (10%) per year.
 
Section 1.3 Net Working Capital
 
(a) On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Buyer a consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the Closing Date in the form of Exhibit B (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and calculating the consolidated working capital of the Company as of such date.  The Closing Balance Sheet shall be subject to adjustments made by Company within 30 days of the Closing (as so adjusted, the “Final Balance Sheet”). Prior to the Closing, the Parties shall agree on any items that constitute “Excluded Assets” for purposes of the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet. Except with respect to the Excluded Assets and the other adjustments specified in Exhibit B-1 hereto, the Closing Balance Sheet and Final Balance Sheet shall (i) be prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) and (ii) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Company as of the date of the Closing.
 
(b) If the amount by which current assets exceeds current liabilities as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Working Capital Value”) is less than $500,000 (the “Target Amount”) the Cash Closing Payment  shall be reduced by the difference between such Closing Working Capital Value and the Target Amount and if the Closing Working Capital Value is more than  the Target Amount, such the Cash Closing Payment shall be increased by such amount.
 
(c) If the Closing Working Capital Value reflected on the Final Balance Sheet is less than the amount specified in the Closing Balance Sheet, the Stockholders shall promptly repay to Buyer the difference between such Closing Working Capital Value and the Closing Working Capital Value reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet and if and if the Closing Working Capital Value reflected on the Final Balance Sheet is more than the amount specified in the Closing Balance Sheet, the Buyer shall promptly pay the Stockholders the difference.
 
(d) In the event of a dispute over any changes from the Closing Balance Sheet made in the in the Final Balance Sheet, the Parties shall immediately refer the question to a Neutral Accountant  selected by them jointly to resolve the question. The determination of the Neutral Accountant shall be binding on both parties, and fees for the Neutral Accountant’s services shall be borne by the parties equally.  If the Neutral Account determines that the Closing Working Capital Value was lower than specified in the Closing Balance Sheet, then within five (5) business days of such determination, the Stockholders shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the difference.  If the Neutral Account determines that the Closing Working Capital Value was higher than specified in the Closing Balance Sheet, then within five (5) business days of such determination, the Buyer shall pay to the Representative an amount equal to the difference. The amount of any adjustment to the Purchase Price resulting from subparagraphs (b)-(d) shall be the “Purchase Price Adjustment.”
 
Section 1.4 Accounting Terms.

(ii) Buyer shall prepare, or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, and shall cause to be timely filed, all other Tax Returns of the Company for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date which have not been filed as of the Closing Date.  The Buyer shall provide Representative with copies of all such Tax Returns as soon as practicable after the preparation, but prior to the filing thereof, for Representative’s review and approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  Buyer will not allow the amendment of any Tax Return relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, or the carryback of an item to any Tax Return relating to any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, without the prior written approval of the Representative, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
 
(iii) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared in a manner consistent with past practices, except as otherwise required by applicable Law, and cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company for Straddle Periods.  Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown as due on the Tax Returns described in the preceding sentence. The Buyer shall provide Representative with copies of all such Tax Returns as soon as practicable after the preparation, but prior to the filing thereof, for Representative’s review and approval, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Upon the later of fifteen (15) business days from the Buyer’s delivery to the Representative of a reasonably documented request therefor or five (5) business days prior to the due date of any Tax Return prepared pursuant to this Section 5.3(a)(iii), the Stockholders shall pay to Buyer the amount of any Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and which exceeds the amount reflected as a liability related to such Taxes on the Final Balance Sheet.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Straddle Period” means any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, and “Pre-Closing Tax Period” means any taxable period or portion thereof ending on or before the Closing Date.  In the case of any Straddle Period: (i) real, personal and intangible property Taxes of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall equal the property Taxes for such Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Pre-Closing Tax Period and the denominator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period; and (ii) any other Taxes of the Company  for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be computed as if the entire Straddle Period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date.
 
(iv) In accordance with Article VI, the Stockholders shall indemnify Buyer for Taxes of the Company attributable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, to the extent such Taxes exceed the liability for Taxes reflected on the Final Balance Sheet.  Buyer shall reimburse or credit the Stockholders for any Tax refunds (net of any costs reasonably incurred by Buyer in obtaining such refund) that are paid to the Company after the Closing Date for a Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such Tax refunds are not shown on the Final Balance Sheet or attributable to the carryback of a net operating loss of the Company.
 
(b) Cooperation in Tax Matters.  The Stockholders and Buyer shall cooperate fully in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of the Company  and any Tax Proceeding of the Company.  Such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information with respect to the Company  which are in the possession of any Stockholder or the Buyer and are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Proceeding.  Without limiting the foregoing, the Stockholders will cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to have the now-current officers, directors and employees of the Company  cooperate with Buyer in furnishing information, evidence, testimony and other assistance in connection with the filing of any Tax Return or any Tax Proceeding with respect to matters pertaining to any and all periods beginning prior to the Closing Date.  The Stockholders agree to transfer to Buyer on or as soon as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event later than fifteen (15) business days after the Closing Date) all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company  that are in their possession or subject to their direct or indirect control.  The Stockholders further agree, upon request, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).  Buyer shall cause the Company to provide access to the Stockholders at any reasonable time and from time to time, at the business location at which their books and records are maintained after the Closing Date, to such Tax records of the Company  for Taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning before the Closing Date as the Stockholders may from time to time reasonably request.  Buyer shall furnish, and request the independent accountants and legal counsel of Buyer and the Company to furnish, to the Stockholders such additional Tax and other information and documents in the possession of such persons relating to Taxable periods of the Company  (or portions thereof) beginning before the Closing Date as the Stockholders may from time to time reasonably request.
 
(c) Transfer Taxes.  Notwithstanding any other provision in the Transaction Documents, all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred by the Company , the Stockholders or the Buyer in connection with the Transaction Documents (including any transfer or similar tax imposed by states or subdivisions) shall be borne fifty percent 50% by the Buyer and fifty percent (50%) by the Stockholders.  The party legally responsible shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other taxes and fees, and, if required, by applicable Law, the other parties will join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.
 
(d) Tax Proceedings Related to Pre-Closing Tax Periods.  Buyer shall promptly notify the Representative in writing upon receipt by the Buyer or the Company of notice of any Tax Proceeding that could give rise to a claim for indemnification under Article VI.  The Representative will have the right to control the conduct of any Tax Proceeding relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period.  The Representative shall, however, keep Buyer informed of all developments on a timely basis, shall provide to the Buyer copies of any and all correspondence received from the Governmental Authority related to such Tax Proceeding and shall provide the Buyer with the opportunity to attend conferences, hearings and other meetings with or involving the Governmental Authority and to review and provide comments with respect to written responses provided to the Governmental Authority with respect to such Tax Proceeding, in each case, to the extent the outcome of such Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected to affect Buyer. Each party shall bear its own costs for participating in such Tax Proceeding.  If any of the issues raised in such Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected to adversely affect Buyer, then the Representative shall not settle any such Tax Proceeding with respect to such issues without the Representative’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.  To the extent that control or settlement rights with respect to a Tax Proceeding pursuant to this Section 5.3(d) may overlap with a control or settlement right under Article VI, the provisions of this Section 5.3(d) shall govern such Tax Proceeding control or settlement right.
 
Section 5.4 Transaction Confidentiality Agreements.
 
Except to the extent any right or interest of any Stockholder under any confidentiality agreement with another potential purchaser of all or any part of the Shares, the Business or the Company (or any of the Assets) (a “Transaction Confidentiality Agreement”) is not assignable without the consent of a third party, such Stockholder shall, at the Closing, assign to the Buyer all rights and interests under any Transaction Confidentiality Agreement to which such Stockholder is a party.  To the extent any right or interest of any Stockholder under a Transaction Confidentiality Agreement is not assignable without the consent of a third party, such Stockholder shall enforce its rights under any such Transaction Confidentiality Agreement for the benefit of the Buyer and its Affiliates as the Buyer directs.

Section 5.5 No Claim Against the Company.
 
Effective as of the Closing, each Stockholder waives any and all rights of indemnification, contribution and other similar rights against the Company  (whether arising pursuant to the Company Charter Documents, any Contract, any Law or otherwise) arising out of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in the Transaction Documents and/or out of the negotiation, execution and performance of the Transactions Documents, and agrees that any claim of any Buyer Indemnified Party, whether for indemnity or otherwise, may be asserted directly against the Sellers (to the extent provided herein), without any need for any claim against, or joinder of, the Company.

Section 5.6 Payment of Credit Cards.
 
Within ten (10) days of the closing all Company credit cards subject to Stockholder guarantees shall be paid in full and such accounts shall be terminated such that the Stockholder guarantees shall no longer be in effect.
 
Section 5.7 Conduct of Business Post Closing.
 
Following the Closing and ending on the termination of the last Deferred Transaction Consideration Measurement Period, the Buyer shall operate the Company and conduct the Business in a manner consistent with the provisions of Exhibit A
.
 
 

ARTICLE VI                                
 

 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 6.1 General Indemnification by the Stockholders.
 
The Stockholders, jointly and severally, covenant and agree to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates and each of such foregoing Person’s directors, stockholders, control persons, officers, employees, representatives, assigns, successors and Affiliates (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from, against and in respect of:

(a) all Liabilities, causes of action, lawsuits, administrative proceedings (including informal proceedings), investigations, audits, demands, assessments, adjustments, judgments, settlement payments, Taxes, penalties, fines, interest (including interest from the date of such damages) and costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and disbursements of every kind, nature and description) (collectively, “Damages”) suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by any Buyer Indemnified Party in connection with, resulting from or arising out of, directly or indirectly:
 
(i) any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the Company or any Stockholder set forth in this Agreement and any Third Party Claim where it is established that the facts underlying such claim are of a character to give rise to a good faith claim that would constitute such a misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy;
 
(ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company or any Stockholder set forth in this Agreement;
 
(iii) any (A) Company Indebtedness, (B) Transaction Cost and (C) Change of Control Obligations, but only to the extent not reflected in the Final Balance Sheet;
 
(iv) Taxes of the Company , and any Liability for Taxes under Treas. Reg. Section 1.1502-6 or under any comparable or similar provision of state, local or foreign Law, as a transferee or successor, or pursuant to any contractual obligation, attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period for which inadequate reserves reflecting such Taxes were not shown on the Final Balance Sheet; and
 
(b) any and all Damages incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 6.1.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim under this Article VI for Damages based upon or arising out of liability of the Company for Taxes shall be limited to the Tax laws as are in effect as of the applicable Pre-Closing Tax Period, as distinguished from retroactive changes in such Tax laws.  To the extent any Buyer Indemnified Party recognizes any net Indemnification Tax Benefits as a result of any Damages: (i) the amount of Damages shall be reduced by the amount of Indemnification Tax Benefits actually recognized, if and to the extent such Indemnification Tax Benefits are recognized prior to the indemnification payment by the indemnifying party and (ii) the Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, the amount of such Indemnification Tax Benefits to the indemnifying party within sixty (60) days of such Indemnification Tax Benefits being recognized by the Buyer Indemnified Party, if and to the extent such Indemnification Tax Benefits are recognized after payment of indemnification payments by the indemnifying party.  For this purpose, a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize a tax benefit (“Indemnification Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Buyer Indemnified Party’s liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributed to the Damages, exceeds the Buyer Indemnified Party’s actual liability for Taxes for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributed to the Damages, treating such Tax items as the last items claimed for such taxable year.
 
Section 6.2 General Indemnification by the Buyer.
 
The Buyer covenants and agrees to indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Stockholders from, against and in respect of:

(a) all Damages suffered, sustained, incurred or paid by the Stockholders in connection with, resulting from or arising out of, directly or indirectly:
 
(i) any misrepresentation, inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement and any Third Party Claim where it is established that the facts underlying such claim are of a character to give rise to a good faith claim that would constitute such a misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy;
 
(ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Buyer set forth in this Agreement; and
 
(b) any and all Damages incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 6.2.
 
Section 6.3 Limitation and Survival of Indemnification Obligations.
 
(a) The indemnification obligations of the Stockholders for breaches of any representation or warranty set forth herein shall be limited to the Stock Payment, other than breaches of any representation or warranty relating to corporate authority in Section 3.2, capitalization in Section 3.3, the representations in Section 3.4 regarding “no conflicts,” the existence and materiality of any Related Party transactions in Section 3.27, and fees owing to any brokers in Section 8.4.
 
(b) If any fact, circumstance or event gives rise to a claim pursuant to multiple sections or provisions of any Transaction Document, the party asserting such claim shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to assert its claim pursuant to any or all such sections or provisions, and shall be entitled to each and every remedy available pursuant to each and every section or provision pursuant to which such party elects, at its sole discretion, to assert such claim; provided that any Liability for indemnification under this Agreement shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such Liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement or to the extent taken into account in determining any adjustment to the Purchase Price under Section 1.3.
 
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Claims with respect to which there is a finding or judgment of fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or intentional wrongdoing shall not be subject to the limitations under this Section 6.3.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereof:  (i) the Stockholders shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any and all breaches (or third party allegations thereof) by the Company of any of the Company’s representations or warranties made as of the Closing and any and all of the Company’s covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement to be performed at or prior to the Closing; and (ii) the Company shall not be liable to the Stockholders for any or all actual or alleged breach by the Company of any such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.
 
Section 6.4 Survival and Expiration of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
 
(a) The representations and warranties of the Buyer shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that, the representations and warranties of the Buyer with respect to any Claim pending with respect to such representations and warranties shall survive until the final resolution of such Claim solely with respect to such Claim.
 
(i) The representations and warranties of the Company or any Stockholder shall survive the Closing and shall expire on the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that, the representations and warranties with respect to any Claim pending with respect to such representations and warranties shall survive until the final resolution of such Claim solely with respect to such Claim.
 
(b) All covenants and agreements of the parties shall survive the Closing, continue in effect and expire in accordance with their respective terms.
 
Section 6.5 Indemnification Procedures.
 
All claims for indemnification under this Article VI (“Claims”) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a)                            In the event that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) has a Claim against any party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2 hereof (the “Indemnifying Party”) or any Claim for which the Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party hereunder has been asserted against an Indemnified Party by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify the Indemnifying Party of such Third Party Claim, specifying the nature of such Third Party Claim and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such Third Party Claim) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnified Party’s failure to give reasonably prompt notice as required by this Section 6.5 of any Third Party Claim which may give rise to a right of indemnification hereunder shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to the Indemnified Party, except and to the extent that the failure to give such notice adversely impacts the ability of any Indemnifying Party to defend against such Third Party Claim.
 
(b)                            If an Indemnified Party asserts a Claim which does not involve a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party does not notify in writing the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Claim Notice (the “Notice Period”) that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim, the amount of such Claim shall be conclusively deemed a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party makes an objection in writing, the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Claim.  If the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties.  If such parties shall not agree, each Indemnified Party shall be entitled to initiate proceedings and seek remedies as may be permitted under the terms of this Agreement and applicable Law.
 
(c)                            If any Indemnified Party asserts a Claim involving a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the ability to defend against such Third Party Claim so long as:
 
(i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that the Indemnifying Party does not dispute the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify hereunder and desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim,
 
(ii) the Indemnifying Party defends against such Third Party Claim by appropriate proceedings at its sole cost and expense with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party;
 
(iii) the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party is potentially liable under this Article VI in connection with such Claim equals or exceeds or could reasonably be expected to equal or exceed (A) the amount of Damages sought in such Third Party Claim or (B) if such Third Party Claim is unliquidated, the likely amount of such Damages as determined by the Indemnified Party in its reasonable discretion;
 
(iv) the Third Party Claim does not (A) involve criminal liability or any admission of wrongdoing, (B) seek equitable relief or any other non-monetary remedy against the Indemnified Party, (C) involve any Governmental Authority as a party thereto, (D) involve any Liability under Environmental Law, (E) involve any existing or prospective customer or supplier of the Indemnified Party or (F) involve issues that raise actual or potential conflicts of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party or for which the Indemnified Party may have different or additional defenses available to it; and
 
(v) the Indemnifying Party promptly settles or prosecutes such Third Party Claim to a final conclusion; provided that, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing, the Indemnifying Party may not settle any matter (in whole or in part) unless such settlement (x) includes a complete and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in respect of the Third Party Claim, (y) involves no admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates, and (z) excludes any injunctive or non-monetary relief applicable to the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates.
 
If the Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense or settlement, the Indemnified Party may do so at its sole cost and expense.  The Indemnified Party is hereby authorized (but not obligated) prior to and during the Notice Period to file any motion, answer or other pleading and to take any other action which the Indemnified Party shall deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Indemnified Party’s interests.
 
(d) If (i) the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, whether by failure of the Indemnifying Party to give the Indemnified Party timely notice as provided above or otherwise or (ii) the terms of this Agreement do not permit the Indemnifying Party to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party, without waiving any rights against the Indemnifying Party, may settle or defend against any such Third Party Claim in the Indemnified Party’s sole discretion and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party all properly recoverable Damages of the Indemnified Party with respect thereto, including interest from the date such Damages were incurred.  All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in so defending a Third Party Claim shall constitute Damages.  If the Indemnified Party defends itself against a Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to participate in, but not control, the defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may do so at its sole cost and expense.
 
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, an Indemnified Party may make a claim hereunder even where the Indemnified Party has not yet suffered Damages or where the full amount of any Damages is not yet known, provided that the Indemnified Party has a reasonable good faith belief that such Damages are reasonably likely and that the Claim Notice sets forth the specific basis for any such claim to the extent then feasible.
 
Section 6.6 Indemnity Payments.
 
Any payment pursuant to a claim for indemnification under this Article VI shall be made by release of an appropriate portion of the Stock Payment or wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds to an account designated by the Indemnified Party no later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of written notice from the Indemnified Party stating the amount of the claim, unless the claim is subject to defense or dispute as provided in this Article VI hereof, in which case payment shall be made not later than  thirty (30) business days after the amount of the claim is finally determined in accordance therewith. The Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any and all reasonable costs or expenses of any nature or kind whatsoever (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in seeking to collect such Losses.  If any disputed claim is resolved by litigation after the rendering of a judgment or order from a court of competent jurisdiction, the non-prevailing party in such dispute shall promptly reimburse the prevailing party for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred as a result of such litigation, in addition to any other costs or expenses such party may be obligated to pay pursuant the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, with respect to any payment required under this Article VI to be made to a Buyer Indemnified Party, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Buyer may only seek payment of Damages from the Stock Payment; provided that for any matter not subject to the limitation set forth in the first clause of Section 6.3(a), Buyer shall first seek payment of Damages from the Stock Payment, then from any Deferred Transaction Consideration that has been earned but is unpaid, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.2(e), before pursuing any other remedies against any Stockholder.

Section 6.7 Remedies Exclusive.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Buyer and the Company acknowledge that, absent fraud, bad faith, willful misconduct or intentional wrongdoing, the remedies provided in this Article VI shall be the exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties after the Closing in connection with any breach of this Agreement by an Indemnifying Party, except in cases of breach of the provisions of Articles I and VII.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, an Indemnifying Party shall be required to indemnify, hold harmless or reimburse any Indemnified Party only with respect to Claims as to which the Indemnified Party has given written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party within any time period applicable to such Claim expressly specified in this Article VI.

(a) As further consideration for the purchase and sale of Shares and the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents,
 
(i) each Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Buyer that such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, for a period ending on the later of three (3) years following the Closing Date or the last date of employment of such Stockholder with Buyer, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for such Stockholder, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, engage anywhere in the world where the Company, the Buyer or their respective Affiliates conducts any business (the “Territory”) as of the Closing, as an officer, director, trustee, shareholder (other than a passive holding of less than 1% of any publicly traded entity), beneficiary, owner, partner, member, joint venturer, investor, employee, independent contractor, agent, consultant, adviser, sales representative or otherwise, in any business, or in developing, selling, manufacturing, distributing or marketing any product or service, that competes directly or indirectly or is reasonably likely to compete directly or indirectly, with the Company or the Business, or with Buyer’s business as constituted during that period; provided that it is understood that for the purposes hereof, the Business and the activities of the Company are limited to providing services to the insurance industry;
 
(ii) each Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Buyer that such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for such Stockholder, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, (A) employ or hire away any Person who is, at that time, or who has been within two (2) years prior to that time, within the Territory, an employee, contractor, subcontractor, consultant, sales representative or vendor of the Buyer, Company or the Business, (a “Restricted Person”) or (B) call upon, solicit or communicate with any Restricted Person for the purpose or with the intent of enticing, or in a manner reasonably likely to entice, such Restricted Person away from the Buyer other than the placement of general advertisements in newspapers, magazines or other periodicals of general circulation or on recruiting websites that are not targeted, directly or indirectly, toward such Restricted Persons; and
 
(iii) each Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Buyer that such Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, for a period ending on the later of three (3) years following the Closing Date or the last date of employment of such Stockholder with Buyer, for any reason whatsoever, directly or indirectly, for such Stockholder, or on behalf of or in conjunction with any other Person, call upon, solicit or communicate with any Person who is, at that time, or that has been within two (2) years prior to that time, a customer of the Buyer, Company or the Business within the Territory for the purpose or with the intent of soliciting or selling, or in a manner reasonably likely to result in the sale of, products or services in direct or indirect competition with the Buyer, Company or Business within the Territory.
 
For purposes of this Section 7.1, “Buyer” means the Buyer and any current or future Affiliate of the Buyer.
 
Section 7.2 Confidentiality.
 
(a) The Stockholders recognize that by reason of their ownership of the Shares and the Company before the Closing Date and information provided by the Buyer to the Company and the Stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, they have acquired and will acquire Confidential Information, the use or disclosure of which could or could reasonably be expected to cause the Buyer or its Affiliates or subsidiaries substantial loss and damages that could not be readily calculated and for which no remedy at law would be adequate.  Accordingly, each Stockholder covenants and agrees with the Buyer that it will not at any time, except in performance of its obligations to the Buyer, directly or indirectly, use, disclose or publish, or permit any other Person (including any Affiliate of any Stockholder) to disclose or publish, any Confidential Information, or use any such information in a manner detrimental to the interests of the Company, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, unless (i) such information is or becomes generally known to the public through no fault of any Stockholder, (ii) the disclosing party is advised in writing by counsel that disclosure is required by Law or the order of any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction under color of Law, or (iii) the disclosing party reasonably believes that such disclosure is required in connection with the defense of a lawsuit against the disclosing party; provided, however, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, such Person shall give prior written notice thereof to the Buyer and provide the Buyer with the opportunity to contest such disclosure and shall cooperate with efforts to prevent such disclosure.
 
(b) Each Stockholder agrees not to use in working for the Buyer and not to disclose to the Buyer any trade secrets or other information that such Stockholder does not have the right to use or disclose and that the Buyer is not free to use without liability of any kind.
 
(c) The term “Confidential Information” includes information that has not been disclosed to the public or to the trade with respect to the Company’s, the Buyer’s or the Business’s present or future business, operations, services, products, research, inventions, discoveries, drawings, designs, plans, processes, models, technical information, facilities, methods, trade secrets, copyrights, software, source code, systems, patents, procedures, manuals, specifications, any other intellectual property, confidential reports, price lists, pricing formulas, customer lists, financial information (including the revenues, costs or profits associated with any of the Company’s, the Buyer’s or the Business’s products or services), business plans, lease structures, projections, prospects, opportunities or strategies, acquisitions or mergers, advertising or promotions, personnel matters, legal matters, any other confidential and proprietary information, and any other information not generally known outside the Buyer or the Business that may be of value to the Company, the Buyer or the Business, but excludes any information already properly in the public domain.  “Confidential Information” also includes confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets that third parties entrust to the Company, the Buyer (or to the Stockholders in connection with the Business) in confidence.
 
Section 7.3 Reasonable Restraint.
 
The parties agree that the covenants in this Article VII impose a reasonable restraint on the Stockholders in light of the activities and business of Company (including the Business) and the Buyer and their respective Affiliates on the date of the execution of this Agreement and the current plans of the Company and the Buyer and its Affiliates (including with respect to the Business), but it is also the intent of the parties that such covenants be construed and enforced in accordance with the changing activities and business of the Company (including the Business) and the Buyer and their respective Affiliates throughout the term of this covenant.

Section 7.4 Severability; Reformation.
 
The covenants in this Article VII are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the provisions of any other covenant.  Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent that the court deems reasonable and the Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

Section 7.5 Specific Performance.
 
Each party hereto acknowledges that the other parties will be irreparably harmed and that there will be no adequate remedy at law for any violation by any party of any of the covenants or agreements set forth in this Article VII.  It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedies which may be available upon the breach of any such covenants or agreements, each party hereto shall have the rights set forth in Section 8.6 hereof with respect to such covenants and agreements.

Section 7.6 Independent Covenant.
 
All of the covenants in this Article VII shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action of any Stockholder against the Buyer or any of its Affiliates, whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by the Buyer of such covenants.  The parties expressly acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Article VII are independent of the terms and conditions of any other agreements, including any employment agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement.  It is specifically agreed that the periods set forth in this Article VII during which the agreements and covenants made in this Article VII shall be effective, shall be computed by excluding from such computation any time during which the Person bound by such agreement or covenant is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been in violation of any provision of this Article VII.  The covenants contained in this Article VII shall not be affected by any breach of any other provision hereof by any party hereto.

Section 7.7 Materiality.
 
Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that the covenants set forth in this Article VII are a material and substantial part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, supported by adequate consideration.

ARTICLE VIII
 

 
GENERAL

EXHIBIT A
 
Deferred Transaction Consideration
 
Section 1.2 of the Agreement provides that the Stockholders will receive a payment or payments as Deferred Transaction Consideration if the EBITDA of the Company exceeds specified levels.  The purpose of this Exhibit is to set forth the understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the calculation of the EBITDA of the Company and the operation and management of the Business during the Deferred Consideration Measurement Period.
 
1.           Buyer covenants and agrees that it will not knowingly take any action or omit to take any action in the operation of the Company or the Business after the Closing that is primarily intended to result in decreasing the Deferred Transaction Consideration.  In particular, without limitation, any determination by Buyer to undertake, or not to undertake, a capital expenditure transaction or to limit the obligations or indebtedness of Company will be consistent with Buyer’s corporate policies on capital expenditures or indebtedness as those policies may be determined by the board in the best interests of shareholders from time to time.
 
2.           For the purposes of calculating the Deferred Transaction Consideration, EBITDA shall be defined as the earnings of the Company as a stand-alone operation before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization as determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to adjustment as follows:.
 
a.           Intercompany allocation of administrative, overhead and other Buyer incurred costs to the Company shall be limited to those expenses incurred by Buyer that are directly attributable to the Company’s compliance with the legal, accounting or auditing standards of public companies.
 
b.           All revenues earned by Buyer from traffic (click, leads and applications) sourced from the Company will be included in the Company’s earnings, net only of credits given to Buyer’s customers for invalid or duplicate leads according to Buyer’s standard lead credit policy.
 
c.           EBITDA shall not include any stock based compensation expense or any other expense related to payments made pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement except that EBITDA shall include the lesser of (a) a fixed charge of $ 2.4642 per option granted or (b) the actual GAAP stock compensation expense for the corresponding period.
 
3.           The operation of the Business shall be subject to the following unless otherwise agreed by the Stockholders:
 
a.           The Business and all employees involved in the Business will be operated at the Buyer’s current headquarters.
 
b.           The Stockholders shall have full authority to make all operating decisions regarding the operation of the business subject in all cases to (i) complying with Buyer’s policies and legal requirements and (ii) operating and capital expenditures shall be no more than 110% of the amounts specified in the budget attached as Exhibit A-1 (the “Budget”), including, but not limited to the following: hiring and terminating employees; setting employee compensation; negotiating customer contracts; capital expenditures.
 
c.           Buyer shall provide financing for the Company substantially comparable to the financing previously utilized by the Company through use of the Company credit cards.
 
 In no event shall the aggregate Deferred Transaction Consideration paid under this Agreement exceed $3,000,000, or more than $1,000,000 in any year.  If Target EBITDA for any year, as shown in the table below, is not achieved, no Deferred Transaction Consideration will be paid in respect of that year.  Deferred Transaction Consideration not paid in any year shall not carry over to subsequent years.
 
The Target EBITDA and the Amount of Deferred Transaction Compensation shall be:
 

     
     
     
     
 
Target EBITDA
Amount of Deferred Compensation
2011
Equal to $1.82 million (2011 Target EBITDA)
Five times the amount by which actual 2011 EBITDA exceeds 2011 Target EBITDA, up to a maximum of $1,000,000
2012
Equal to $2.184 million; provided that if Company did not meet the Target EBITDA for 2011, the Target EBITDA for 2012 shall be the greater of 1.2 times actual 2011 EBITDA or $1.8 million
Five times the amount by which actual 2012 EBITDA exceeds 2012 Target EBITDA, up to a maximum of $1,000,000
2013
Equal to $2.62 million; provided that if Company did not meet the Target EBITDA for 2012, the Target EBITDA for 2013 shall be the greater of 1.2 times actual 2012 EBITDA or $1.8 million
Five times the amount by which actual 2013 EBITDA exceeds 2013 Target EBITDA, up to a maximum of $1,000,000

           Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of (i) any failure of Buyer to fund the operations of the Business in accordance with the Budget or any other breach of the terms set forth herein, ,or (ii) Buyer or the Business commences any proceeding in bankruptcy for dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or other relief under U.S. state or federal bankruptcy laws, or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Buyer or the Business or a substantial part of their respective properties, and such proceeding or appointment is not dismissed within 60 days after its commencement or Buyer or the Business makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or petitions or applies to any tribunal for the appointment of a custodian, receiver or trustee for all or substantially all of its assets or has a receiver, custodian or trustee appointed for all or substantially all of its assets; then the payment of the full $1 million of Deferred Transaction Consideration for the then current fiscal year and any future fiscal years for which Deferred Transaction Consideration may be earned hereunder shall be accelerated and be immediately due and payable and shall be paid to the Stockholders within three (3) business days thereof.
