1.5

Working Capital Adjustment.

(a)

Prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall estimate the Closing Net Working Capital (as defined below).  To the extent the estimated Closing Net Working Capital is less than $230,000, the Cash Portion shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the shortfall (the “Preliminary Adjustment”).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Net Working Capital” means the Net Working Capital as of the Effective Time.  The “Net Working Capital” means the book value of the current assets of Seller included in the Acquired Assets less the current liabilities of Seller included in the Assumed Liabilities (including Seller’s 65% interest in B&B Roadway’s net working capital), as calculated in accordance with Exhibit B attached hereto.

(b)

Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, Buyer shall prepare a balance sheet of the Business reflecting the Acquired Assets and Assumed Liabilities as well as the working capital of B&B Roadway as of the Effective Time (the “Closing Balance Sheet”).  The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”) and consistent with Exhibit B, and (to the extent consistent with the foregoing) prepared on the same basis and applying the same accounting principles, policies and practices that were used in estimating the Closing Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.5(a).  The Closing Balance Sheet shall include an accrual for employee bonuses for the period July 1, 2010 through the Closing Date.  Based on the Closing Balance Sheet, Buyer shall calculate the Closing Net Working Capital and the post-Closing cash adjustment, which shall equal the amount, if any, by which the Closing Net Working Capital is less than or exceeds $230,000 (the amount by which the Closing Net Working Capital is less than or exceeds $230,000, the “Post-Closing Adjustment”). Buyer shall submit the Closing Balance Sheet along with its calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment to Seller and if Seller does not object to the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment within twenty (20) days of receipt thereof, Seller shall pay to Buyer (if the Closing Net Working Capital is less than $230,000) or Buyer shall pay to Seller (if the Closing Net Working Capital exceeds $230,000), as the case may be, an amount equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment, but in either case taking into account any Preliminary Adjustment, not later than twenty (20) days following receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet.

(c)

If Seller objects to the Post-Closing Adjustment, it shall notify Buyer within thirty (30) days following receipt thereof, setting forth in specific detail the basis for its objection and its proposal for any adjustments to the Post-Closing Adjustment.  Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to reach agreement as to any such proposed adjustment or that no such adjustment is necessary.  If agreement is reached as to all proposed further adjustments or that no adjustments are necessary, the parties shall make such adjustments, if any, and the Post-Closing Adjustment shall be based thereon, and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall pay the amount of the Post-Closing Adjustment within ten (10) days of such agreement.  If Buyer and Seller are unable to reach agreement within thirty (30) days of notification to Buyer of an objection to the Post-Closing Adjustment, then an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (or if the parties are unable to agree upon a firm, each party shall select a firm and the two firms together shall select a third firm to make the determination hereunder) (the “Independent Firm”) shall be engaged to review the proposed adjustments as to which agreement has not been reached and shall make a determination as to the resolution of the proposed adjustments to cause the Post-Closing Adjustment to have been properly prepared in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.  Each party shall be given the opportunity to make presentations to such Independent Firm.  All resolutions rendered by the Independent Firm shall represent either agreement with the position taken by Buyer or Seller or a compromise between such positions.  The determination of the Independent Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Seller.  Thereafter, either Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall pay to the other party not later than ten (10) days following a determination of adjustments by the Independent Firm, an amount in cash equal to the Post-Closing Adjustment, as determined by the Independent Firm.  Either Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, shall pay the costs of the Independent Firm, depending on which party’s calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment is further from the Post-Closing Adjustment determined by the Independent Firm.

(d)

If Seller fails to pay the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, within the time period prescribed herein, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to recover the amount owing pursuant to this Section 1.5 against the Escrow Amount; provided, that any recovery of the Post-Closing Adjustment from the Escrow Amount shall not in any way reduce the maximum liability of Seller and Parent pursuant to Section 6.7(d).  If Buyer fails to pay the Post-Closing Adjustment, if any, within the time period prescribed herein, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to recover the amount owing pursuant to this Section 1.5 against the Escrow Amount, and any recovery of the Post-Closing Adjustment from the Escrow Amount shall reduce the maximum liability of Seller and Parent pursuant to Section 6.7(d) by the amount recovered from the Escrow Amount.

1.6

Federal Income Tax Treatment.

(a)

For federal income tax purposes, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be treated: (A) with respect to the Acquired Assets other than the B&B Roadway Membership Interest (the “Non-Equity Assets”), as a sale by Seller, and purchase by Holdings, of assets (i.e., the Non-Equity Assets) (the “Non-Equity Transaction”), and (B) with respect to the B&B Roadway Membership Interest, in accordance with Revenue Ruling 99-6, 1999-1 C.B. 432 (Situation 2) (i) as a sale of partnership interests with respect to the Seller and (ii) with respect to Holdings, as a purchase by Holdings of all of the assets of B&B Roadway and assumption by Holdings of all of the liabilities of B&B Roadway (other than liabilities for which Buyer is required to be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement) (the “B&B Roadway Transaction”).  For purposes of clause (B), Buyer, Holdings and Seller acknowledge and agree that Buyer’s acquisition of the B&B Roadway Membership Interest from Seller pursuant to this Agreement is integrally related to and dependent upon Buyer’s acquisition of all membership interests of B&B Roadway not owned by Seller pursuant to the transaction with CLE contemplated by Section 5.2(i) of this Agreement.

(b)

Buyer, Holdings, Seller and the Principals shall file all income tax returns or reports, including without limitation, IRS Form 8594, for their respective taxable years in which the Closing occurs to reflect an allocation of the amount of the Total Consideration in a manner consistent with the allocations set forth on Schedule 1.6(b).  The amount allocated to the Non-Equity Assets pursuant to such Schedule shall be treated as consideration paid pursuant to the Non-Equity Transaction.  The amount allocated to the B&B Roadway Membership Interest pursuant to such Schedule shall be treated as consideration paid pursuant to the B&B Roadway Transaction.

(c)

Buyer, Holdings, Seller and the Principals shall not take any position inconsistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.6 before any governmental agency charged with the collection of taxes or in any judicial proceedings relating to such tax reporting, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

4.6

Fiduciary Out.  Notwithstanding anything in Article IV to the contrary, if Parent receives an unsolicited Acquisition Proposal that the Board of Directors of Parent (the “Parent Board”) concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, constitutes (or could be reasonably expected to constitute) a Superior Proposal (as defined below) after giving effect to all of the adjustments to the terms of this Agreement which may be offered by Buyer including pursuant to Section 4.6(b) below, the Parent Board may, at any time prior to the Closing Date, if it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that such action is required to comply with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Parent under applicable Law, (w) engage in negotiations with such third party, and supply such third party with information on Parent, (x) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Buyer, its approval of this Agreement (a “Change of Board Recommendation”), (y) approve or recommend such Superior Proposal, and/or (z) terminate this Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal; provided, however, that Parent shall not terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z), and any purported termination pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) shall be void and of no force or effect, unless in advance of or concurrently with such termination Parent pays the fee described in Section 8.5, by wire transfer; and provided, further, that the Parent Board may not withdraw, modify or amend its approval of this Agreement in a manner adverse to Buyer pursuant to the foregoing clause (x), approve or recommend such Superior Proposal pursuant to the foregoing clause (y) or terminate this Agreement pursuant to the foregoing clause (z) unless (A) such Superior Proposal did not result from a breach by Parent or Seller of Section 4.5 and (B):

(a)

Parent shall have provided prior written notice to Buyer, at least ten (10) days in advance (the “Notice Period”), of its taking any action contemplated by this Section 4.6 with respect to such Superior Proposal, which notice shall specify the material terms and conditions of any such Superior Proposal (including the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal), and shall have contemporaneously provided a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with the party making such Superior Proposal and other material documents, including the then current form of the definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal (the “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”); and

(b)

prior to effecting such Change of Board Recommendation, approving or recommending such Superior Proposal or terminating this Agreement to enter into a proposed definitive agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, for a period of ten (10) days Parent shall provide Buyer the opportunity to submit an amended written proposal or to make a new written proposal to the Parent Board, during the Notice Period and negotiate with Buyer in good faith (to the extent Buyer desires to negotiate) during the Notice Period to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal.

-22-

---

As used in this Section 4.6, “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide Acquisition Proposal made in writing (x) that includes consideration that the Parent Board in good faith determines is greater than the Total Consideration and otherwise is on terms that the Parent Board has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel and after taking into account all legal, financial (including the financing terms of such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of the proposal) are more favorable to Parent’s stockholders from a financial point of view than this Agreement, and (y) with respect to which the Parent Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with its financial advisors and outside counsel and after taking into account all legal, financial (including the financing terms of such proposal), regulatory and other aspects of the proposal) is reasonably likely to be consummated (if accepted).

-28-

6.2

Seller Losses.  Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and Parent and their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives, agents and attorneys (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) from, against, for and in respect of any and all Losses suffered, sustained, incurred or required to be paid by any of them by reason of (i) any representation or warranty made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement being untrue or incorrect in any respect; (ii) any failure by Buyer to observe or perform its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement; (iii) the Assumed Liabilities, or (iv) any liability relating to or involving Buyer or the Acquired Assets, in each case, that accrued after the Effective Time and that does not relate to an Excluded Asset.

6.3

Losses.  “Losses” shall mean all damages (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement with the Indemnifying Party’s (as defined below) consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld), losses, obligations, liabilities, claims, deficiencies, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees) Taxes, penalties, fines, interest, monetary sanctions and expenses incurred by an Indemnified Party (as defined below), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred to comply with injunctions and other court and agency orders, and other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or to establish or enforce an Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder (but excluding incidental or consequential damages, lost profits or other indirect losses, or other diminutions in the value of the Acquired Assets).  The proceeds actually received or to be received by an indemnified party from any insurance policies shall be taken into account in determining the amount of any Losses.

6.4

Notice of Loss.  Except to the extent set forth in the next sentence, a party will not have any liability under the indemnity provisions of this Agreement with respect to a particular matter unless a written notice setting forth in reasonable detail the breach or other matter which is asserted has been given to the Indemnifying Party (as defined below) and, in addition, if such matter arises out of a suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim, such notice is given promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party (as defined below) is given notice of the claim or the commencement of the suit, action, investigation or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice hereunder shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article VI, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  

6.5

Right to Defend.  Upon receipt of notice of any suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding for which indemnification might be claimed by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding at its own cost and expense, and the Indemnified Party must reasonably cooperate in any such defense or other action.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate at its own expense in defense thereof by counsel of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control the defense unless the Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with respect to the particular matter or the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of the matter.  In the event the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend, contest or otherwise protect in a timely manner against any such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, thereafter to defend, contest or otherwise protect against the same and make any compromise or settlement thereof and recover the entire cost thereof from the Indemnifying Party including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts paid as a result of such suit, action, investigation, claim or proceeding or the compromise or settlement thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnified Party must send a written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any such proposed settlement or compromise, which settlement or compromise the Indemnifying Party may reject, in its reasonable judgment, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.  Failure to reject such notice within such thirty (30) day period shall be deemed an acceptance of such settlement or compromise.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to effect a settlement or compromise over the objection of the Indemnifying Party; provided, that if (a) the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good faith or (b) the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense from the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party waives any right to indemnity therefor.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of such matters, the Indemnified Party shall not, so long as the Indemnifying Party does not abandon the defense thereof, be entitled to recover from the Indemnifying Party any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than the reasonable costs of investigation undertaken by the Indemnified Party with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

6.6

Cooperation.  Buyer, Seller and Parent and each of their Affiliates, successors and assigns shall cooperate with each other in the defense of any suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim by a third party and, during normal business hours, shall afford each other access to their books and records and employees relating to such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim and shall furnish each other all such further information that they have the right and power to furnish as may reasonably be necessary to defend such suit, action, investigation, proceeding or claim.

6.7

Limitation on Remedies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the liability of the parties under this Agreement shall be limited as follows:

(a)

In no event shall any amounts be recovered from a party for any matter for which a written notice of claim specifying in reasonable detail the specific nature of the Losses and the estimated amount of such Losses (“Claim Notice”) is not delivered to the opposite party prior to the time that such representations and warranties terminate pursuant to Section 6.7(b).

(b)

The representations and warranties of each of the parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing, and such representations and warranties shall terminate twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, except that (i) the representation and warranty in Section 2.14 shall survive for twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date and (ii) the representations and warranties in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.8, 2.15, 2.19, 2.24, 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 (collectively, the “Specified Representations”) shall survive until ninety (90) days after all potential claims thereof shall be barred by the applicable statute of limitations; provided, however, that any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement that is the subject of a Claim Notice delivered in good faith in compliance with the requirements of Section 6.7(a) shall survive with respect only to the specific matter described in such Claim Notice until the earlier to occur of (y) the date on which a final nonappealable resolution of the matter described in such Claim Notice has been reached or (z) the date on which the matter described in such Claim Notice has otherwise reached final resolution.

(c)

No amount shall be payable pursuant to Section 6.1, except to the extent that the aggregate amount of a party’s Losses exceeds $30,000, and then only for the amount by which such Losses exceed $30,000; except that Losses resulting from a breach of a Specified Representation or Losses in connection with matters described in clauses (iv) through (vi) of Section 6.1 shall not be subject to such limitation.

(d)

The maximum amount of Losses incurred by a party for which the other party shall be liable pursuant to Section 6.1 or 6.2, as applicable, shall not exceed an amount equal to thirty percent (30%) of the Total Consideration; provided, however Losses resulting from intentional and knowing fraud or an intentional non-disclosure or intentional misrepresentation of any representation and warranty shall not be subject to any limit.

(e)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article VI, the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ recourse for Losses suffered or incurred by Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be limited exclusively to the following and in the following order: (i) a right of recovery against the Escrow Amount; (ii) next a right of set-off against the Note; and (iii) lastly, a right of set-off against any dividends, distributions or other amounts due to Parent (or its successor in interest or assigns) in connection with the Holdings Equity and Parent’s interest therein.

6.8

Characterization of Indemnity Payment for Tax Purposes.  All amounts payable under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 shall be treated for all tax purposes as adjustments to the Consideration, except as otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE VII
POST-CLOSING MATTERS

7.1

Confidential Information.  Parent acknowledges that, through its ownership of Seller, it has gained confidential and proprietary information (the “Confidential Information”) concerning the business of Seller.  Confidential Information is any formula, pattern, device or compilation of information which is used in Seller’s and Buyer’s business and includes, but is not limited to, proprietary technology, operating procedures and methods of operation, financial statements and other financial information, trade secrets, market studies and forecasts, competitive analyses, target markets, advertising techniques, pricing policies and information, the substance of agreements with customers, subcontractors and others, marketing and similar arrangements, servicing and training programs and arrangements, customer and subcontractor lists, customer profiles, customer preferences, other trade secrets and any other documents embodying confidential and proprietary information of Buyer and Seller, which Seller has treated as proprietary and which provides Seller with a competitive advantage.  Parent acknowledges that sharing this Confidential Information with third parties would be detrimental to Buyer and could place Buyer at a competitive disadvantage.  Parent agrees that it will not, at any time following the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, disclose, use or disseminate to any person or entity any Confidential Information.  The foregoing restrictions and obligations under this Section 7.1 shall not apply to: (i) any Confidential Information that is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure, directly or indirectly, by Parent, (ii) any information obtained by Parent from a third party which such Person has no reason to believe is violating any obligation of confidentiality to Buyer, or (iii) any information Parent is required by law to disclose.  Parent acknowledges and agrees that its confidentiality obligations apply to all Confidential Information of Seller and Buyer, no matter when it obtained knowledge or access to such Confidential Information.

7.2

Noncompetition.

(a)

Parent acknowledges that the Business is presently conducted throughout the United States of America (the “Territory”).  In consideration of the numerous other mutual promises contained in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those involving Confidential Information and the substantial consideration paid by Buyer to Seller with respect to the Acquired Assets, including Seller’s business and customer goodwill, and the resulting financial benefit to Parent, Parent covenants and agrees that during the period of three (3) years from the Closing Date, neither it, nor any Person with which it is in any way affiliated, will engage, directly or indirectly, in any or all of the following activities:

(i)

Enter into or engage in the Business or any other business directly or indirectly competitive with Buyer anywhere in the Territory;

(ii)

Request, solicit or induce, or attempt to request, solicit or induce, any employee, consultant or independent contractor of Buyer to leave or terminate his or her relationship with Buyer for any reason whatsoever or hire or attempt to hire any such employee, consultant or contractor of Buyer for a period of twelve (12) months following the termination of such person’s relationship with Buyer;

(iii)

Interfere with, disrupt or attempt to disrupt the relationship, contractual or otherwise, between Buyer and any customer, supplier, lessor, lessee, employee, subcontractor or other independent contractor of Buyer or in any way encourage them to terminate or otherwise negatively alter their relationship with Buyer; or

(iv)

Solicit or accept business from, or perform services on behalf of, any subcontractor or customer of Buyer for like products or services.

-31-

---

(b)

Parent recognizes that its breach of any of the provisions of Section 7.1 or this Section 7.2 would result in serious harm to Buyer for which monetary damages might not be an adequate remedy and that the amount of such damages would be difficult to determine.  Therefore, if Parent breaches any provision of Section 7.1 or this Section 7.2, then Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief and specific performance in addition to any other available legal or equitable remedies.  Buyer may recover by appropriate action the amount, if ascertainable, of the actual damage caused to Buyer by any failure, refusal or neglect of Parent to perform the agreements contained in Section 7.1 or this Section 7.2, together with any and all costs incurred by Buyer, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in seeking such relief.  The remedies provided in this Section shall be deemed cumulative and the exercise of one shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy at law or in equity for the same event or any other event.

7.3

It is the express intention of the parties hereto to comply with all laws that may be applicable to Section 7.1 and this Section 7.2.  It is the express intention of Buyer to restrict Parent’s activities only to the extent necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of Buyer.  Parent acknowledges and agrees that the time, geographic, and other restrictions in Section 7.1 and this Section 7.2 are only as broad as reasonably necessary to protect the Confidential Information and goodwill being acquired by Buyer and Buyer’s own Confidential Information and goodwill, and that the covenants in Section 7.1 and this Section 7.2 are subsidiary to this Agreement’s main purpose of disposing of an established business.  Nevertheless, should any restriction contained in Section 7.1 or this Section 7.2 be found to exceed in time, scope or activity the restriction permitted by law, it is expressly agreed that the covenants contained in Section 7.1 or this Section 7.2 shall be reformed or modified by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to reflect a lawful and enforceable duration, scope and activity

7.4

Transition Support.  From time to time after the Closing, Buyer shall make Paul Matthews, Lynn Causey, and Julie Causey reasonably available to Seller and Parent for the purpose of assisting Seller and Parent in certain administrative matters provided that such matters do not interfere with their responsibilities to Buyer.  Such matters include the assistance with litigation or other disputed matters and other administrative matters.  In addition, Buyer shall also make reasonably available to Seller and Parent all information and materials reasonably requested by Seller and Parent in connection with the provision of the administrative services hereunder and in connection with the preparation of tax returns, the preparation of, and making filings with, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and other administrative services.  Buyer shall give Seller and Parent reasonable access, during regular business hours and at such other times as are reasonably required, to the Buyer’s premises to the extent any such access is needed for the purposes of all such administrative services. Buyer shall not charge any fee in connection with any such services.  Seller or Parent shall reimburse Buyer for all reasonable expenses of Buyer incurred in connection with such services.
