Section 1.2. Certain Matters of Construction.

(a) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) Section and subsection headings are not to be considered part of this Agreement, are included solely for convenience, are not intended to be full or accurate descriptions of the content of the Sections or subsections of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction hereof.

(c) Except as otherwise explicitly specified to the contrary herein, (i) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Section or subsection of this Agreement and reference to a particular Section of this Agreement shall include all subsections thereof, (ii) references to a Section, Exhibit, Annex or Schedule means a Section of, or Exhibit, Annex or Schedule to this Agreement, unless another agreement is specified, (iii) definitions shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of the terms defined, and references to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include each other gender, (iv) the word “including” means including without limitation, (v) any reference to “$” or “dollars” means United States dollars and (vi) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations thereunder and any successor statute, rule or regulation, in each case as amended or otherwise modified from time to time.

(d) The inclusion of an item on any Schedule hereto is not evidence of the materiality of such item for purposes of this Agreement or otherwise, or that such item is a disclosure required under this Agreement. No disclosure in any Schedule relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred, or shall constitute an admission of liability to any third party. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein

will have independent significance. If any party has breached or violated, or if there is an inaccuracy in, any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached or violated, or in respect of which there is not an inaccuracy, will not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party has breached or violated, or there is an inaccuracy in, the first representation, warranty or covenant.

(e) Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, when used herein “or” shall not be exclusive (i.e., “or” shall mean “and/or”).

(f) Time is of the essence with regard to all dates and time periods set forth or referred to in this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES;

TREATMENT OF OPTIONS; CLOSING

Section 2.1. Purchase and Sale of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, each of the Sellers shall, severally and not jointly, sell, transfer and deliver to Buyer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, and Buyer shall purchase from each of such Sellers, all of the outstanding Shares held by such Sellers as listed on Annex I.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price. (a) The aggregate consideration for the purchase and sale of the Shares at Closing will be equal to an amount in cash (such aggregate consideration, the “Purchase Price”) calculated as follows:

(i) $31,000,000 U.S. dollars (the “Base Purchase Price”);

(ii) less the Closing Debt Amount;

(iii) less the amount of any Seller Transaction Expenses not otherwise paid prior to the Closing Date or taken into account in the calculation of Net Working Capital;

(iv) less the payments to be made at Closing to the Phantom Plan Participants pursuant to the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement (including any related withholding pursuant to Section 2.4 and the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement);

(v) plus the total cash payments (including checks) received on the date of this Agreement in connection with the exercise of the Options;

(vi) plus the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (if Net Working Capital is greater than the Net Working Capital Target);

less the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (if Net Working Capital is less than the Net Working Capital Target).

The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Sections 2.6 and 2.7 and Article IX.

(b) The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows: (i) an amount equal to the Escrowed Amount will be deposited with the Escrow Agent to be held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and (ii) the remaining Purchase Price will be paid to the Sellers, pro rata based on the number of shares held by each as set forth on Annex I-A.

Section 2.3. The Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares (the “Closing”) shall take place on the date hereof at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, One Federal Street, Boston MA 02110, immediately after the completion of the Services Business Transfer pursuant to the Services Business Transfer Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII hereof (other than those conditions which can be satisfied only at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions at Closing), or at such other time and place as may be agreed to by the parties hereto (with the Sellers’ Representative acting for all the Sellers).

Section 2.4. Closing Deliveries and Payments.

(a) Buyer Closing Deliveries and Payments. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the Closing the payments set forth in Annex IV hereto (the “Funding Schedule”), including:

The Buyer and the Company will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any applicable Legal Requirement to be deducted and withheld in connection with payments to be made under this Agreement and in connection with any withholding obligations arising in connection with the Services Business Transfer and related distribution of the equity of the New Services Entity to the Shareholders. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such amounts will be treated

for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b) Sellers’ Closing Deliveries. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the Closing to Buyer, with respect to all Shares to be purchased and sold by such Seller hereunder, certificates representing all of such Shares, duly endorsed (or accompanied by duly executed transfer powers) and in proper form for transfer to Buyer, and with all required tax transfer stamps attached.

Section 2.6. Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Statement. The Company has prepared in good faith and provided to the Buyer at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date an estimated pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Company (giving effect to the Services Business Transfer) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (as the same may be adjusted in response to any comments of the Buyer and its Representatives provided prior to the Closing, the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its good faith estimates of the Closing Debt Amount and Net Working Capital, each as derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, and the Seller Transaction Expenses (as the same may be adjusted in response to any comments of the Buyer and its Representatives provided prior to the Closing, the “Estimated Closing Statement”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Company’s good faith estimate of Net Working Capital contained in the Estimated Closing Statement are required to be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definition of Net Working Capital. Following the delivery of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement, the Company shall provide the Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Company for purposes of assisting the Buyer and its Representatives in their review of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement. Prior to Closing, the parties shall cooperate in good faith to answer any questions and resolve any issues raised by the Buyer and its Representatives in connection with their review of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Statement.

(b) Estimated Purchase Price. The Purchase Price payable at Closing under Section 2.2 (the “Estimated Purchase Price”) and payments under Section 2.4 shall be calculated

using the estimated Closing Debt Amount, estimated Seller Transaction Expenses and estimated Net Working Capital set forth on the Estimated Closing Statement.

(c) Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and Proposed Final Closing Statement. As promptly as possible and in any event within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare or cause to be prepared, and will provide to the Sellers’ Representative, a consolidated balance sheet of the Company (giving effect to the Services Business Transfer) as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail its proposed final determination of the Closing Debt Amount, the Seller Transaction Expenses and Net Working Capital (the “Proposed Final Closing Statement”). The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the determination of Net Working Capital reflected on the Proposed Final Closing Statement will be prepared in accordance with the Accounting Principles and the definition of Net Working Capital. The Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall have reasonable access to the Company’s and the Buyer’s Representatives and to the work papers and other books and records of the Company for purposes of assisting the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives in their review of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement.

(d) Dispute Notice. The Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement (and the proposed final determinations of the Closing Debt Amount, the Seller Transaction Expenses and Net Working Capital reflected thereon) will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties unless the Sellers’ Representative provides a written notice (a “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to Buyer no later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement. The Seller’s Representative shall not be entitled to issue a Working Capital Dispute Notice or otherwise dispute any item set forth in the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or proposed Final Closing Statement except on the grounds that such matter was not prepared on the basis set forth in paragraph (c) above (including the definition of Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Calculation Schedule) or contains mathematical errors. Any Working Capital Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet or the Proposed Final Closing Statement which the Sellers’ Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with paragraph (c) above (including the definition of Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Calculation Schedule) and, to the extent known, the correct amount of such item and (ii) the Sellers’ Representative’s alternative calculation of the Closing Debt Amount, the Seller Transaction Expenses or Net Working Capital, as the case may be. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Working Capital Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such twentieth (20th) Business Day.

(e) Resolution of Disputes. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Working Capital Dispute Notice in good faith. Beginning ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any Working Capital Dispute Notice pursuant to Section 2.6(d), either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative may provide written notice to the other that it elects to submit the disputed items to Ernst & Young LLP’s Boston office (the “Accounting Firm”). The Accounting Firm will promptly, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent the Accounting Firm

agrees to comply with these rules, review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Working Capital Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific unresolved item and amount in accordance with this Agreement. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed in writing by the Buyer and Seller’s Representative that the Accounting Firm must accept the Proposed Final Balance Sheet and Proposed Final Closing Statement except to the extent that any item was not calculated in accordance with paragraph (c) above (including the definition of Net Working Capital and the Net Working Capital Calculation Schedule) or reflects mathematical errors. In any such case, a single partner of the Accounting Firm selected by such Accounting Firm in accordance with its normal procedures and having expertise with respect to settlement of such disputes shall act for the Accounting Firm in the determination proceeding, and the Accounting Firm shall render a written decision as to each disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision. In no event shall the decision of the Accounting Firm (i) provide for a calculation of Net Working Capital that is less than the calculation thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Statement or greater than the Sellers’ Representatives’ alternative calculation thereof shown in the Working Capital Dispute Notice or (ii) provide for a determination of any item of Debt reflected in the Closing Debt Amount or any Seller Transaction Expense that is greater in amount than the amount thereof shown in the Proposed Final Closing Statement or less in amount than the Sellers’ Representatives’ alternative calculation thereof shown in the Working Capital Dispute Notice. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the non-prevailing party (as determined by the Accounting Firm) or if the Accounting Firm determines that neither party could be fairly found to be the prevailing party or makes no determination of any nature on who is the prevailing party, then such fees and expenses shall be borne 50% by the Sellers and 50% by the Buyer. The decision of the Accounting Firm with respect to the disputed items of the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement submitted to it will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. As used herein, the Proposed Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Proposed Final Closing Statement, as adjusted to reflect any changes agreed to by the parties and the decision of the Accounting Firm, in each case, pursuant to this Section 2.6, are referred to herein as the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and the “Final Closing Statement”, respectively. Each of the Seller’s Representatives and the Buyer agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary engagement letter reasonably acceptable to it) and to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve any such dispute as soon as practicable after the commencement of the Accounting Firm’s engagement.

(f) Working Capital Adjustment. If any of the Net Working Capital, the Closing Debt Amount or the Seller Transaction Expenses (as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.6 and as set forth in the Final Closing Balance Sheet and the Final Closing Statement) differs from the estimated amounts thereof set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement, the Combined Purchase Price shall be recalculated using such final figures in lieu of such estimated figures, and (i) the Buyer shall pay to each Seller and, as provided in the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement, to each Phantom Plan Participant, by wire transfer of immediately available funds its Combined Percentage of the amount, if any, by which such re-calculated final Combined Purchase Price exceeds the estimated Combined Purchase Price paid at Closing in accordance with Sections 2.4(a) and 2.6(b) and the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement or (ii) the amount, if any, by which such estimated Combined Purchase Price paid at Closing in accordance with Sections 2.4(a) and 2.6(b) and the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement exceeds such re-calculated

final Combined Purchase Price shall be taken out of the Escrowed Amount by the Buyer; provided, that if such excess amount is greater than 25% of the Escrowed Amount (a “Large WC Shortfall Adjustment”), (i) each Seller will transfer to the Escrow Agent an amount equal to such Seller’s Combined Percentage of such excess amount by wire transfer in immediately available funds and (ii) pursuant to the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement each Phantom Plan Participant will transfer to the Escrow Agent a portion of their payments already received in an amount equal to such Phantom Plan Participant’s Combined Percentage of such excess amount, and in each case the Escrow Agent will hold these amounts pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. Any portion of the Accounting Firm’s fees and any expenses payable hereunder by the Sellers shall be paid out of the Escrowed Amount.

(g) Payments. Any payment due pursuant to Section 2.6(f) shall be made within seven (7) Business Days after the final amount thereof has been determined in accordance with this Section 2.6. In order to effect the foregoing, within two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the amount of any adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.6, the Sellers’ Representative and the Buyer agree to provide written instructions to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement effecting such release. These joint written instructions will instruct the Escrow Agent that it is to release an amount equal to 25% of the Escrowed Amount to the Sellers and Phantom Plan Participants (subject to any withholding requirements), less any amount to be paid to the Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.6. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a Large WC Shortfall Adjustment, the joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent will provide that the Escrow Agent is to release to the Buyer the entire amount of such downward adjustment in the Combined Purchase Price, and the Buyer and Sellers’ Representative will send joint written instructions to the Sellers and Phantom Plan Participants directing them to make their respective payments to the Escrow Agent as described in paragraph (f) above.

Section 2.7. Earnout.

(a) Earnout Periods; Earnout Statement. Within twenty (20) Business Days following the end of each of Earnout Period 1 and Earnout Period 2, the Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a statement of the Receiver Revenue for sales of the Receiver during the applicable earnout period (each such statement an “Earnout Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail the Receiver Revenue associated with the sales of the Receiver, determined in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles. The Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives shall have reasonable access to the work papers and other books and records of the Buyer and the Company for purposes of assisting the Sellers’ Representative and its Representatives in their review of the Earnout Statements, provided, however, the Sellers’ Representative agrees that it shall hold (and shall cause its Representatives to hold) all information acquired during any such examination in strict confidence and shall use (and shall cause its Representatives to use) such information for the sole purpose of determining compliance with this Section 2.7.

(b) Determination of Payments for Earnout Period 1. For Earnout Period 1, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers and the Phantom Plan Participants in cash an Earnout Payment equal to $2,500,000 if Receiver Revenue is equal to or greater than $2,400,000 (the “Earnout Period 1 Revenue Payment”). In no event shall the Earnout Period 1 Revenue Payment be

greater than $2,500,000 and in no event will the Sellers receive the Earnout Period 1 Revenue Payment if Receiver Revenue is less than $2,400,000 for Earnout Period 1.

(c) Determination of Payments for Earnout Period 2. For Earnout Period 2, the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers and the Phantom Plan Participants in cash an Earnout Payment equal to $2,500,000 if Receiver Revenue is equal to or greater than $6,000,000 (the “Earnout Period 2 Revenue Payment”). In no event shall the Earnout Period 2 Revenue Payment be greater than $2,500,000 and in no event will the Sellers receive the Earnout Period 2 Revenue Payment if Receiver Revenue is less than $6,000,000 for Earnout Period 2.

(d) Determination of Cumulative Payment. For Earnout Period 1 and Earnout Period 2 (the “Combined Earnout Period”), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers and the Phantom Plan Participants in cash an Earnout Payment in respect of Receiver Revenue calculated as follows. If Receiver Revenue during the Combined Earnout Period is:

(i)

greater than or equal to $8,000,000 but less than $8,400,000, then the applicable Earnout Payment will be $2,500,000 multiplied by 1.25, minus the sum of the Earnout Period 1 Revenue Payment and Earnout Period 2 Revenue Payment;

(ii)

greater than or equal to $8,400,000 but less than $8,800,000, then the applicable Earnout Payment will be $2,500,000 multiplied by 1.625, minus the sum of the Earnout Period 1 Revenue Payment and Earnout Period 2 Revenue Payment; or

(iii)

greater than or equal to $8,800,000, then the applicable Earnout Payment will be $2,500,000 multiplied by 2.0, minus the sum of the Earnout Period 1 Revenue Payment and Earnout Period 2 Revenue Payment.

(e) Earnout Dispute Notice. The Earnout Statements will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties unless the Sellers’ Representative provides a written notice (an “Earnout Dispute Notice”) to Buyer no later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day after the delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of the applicable Earnout Statement. Any Earnout Dispute Notice must set forth in reasonable detail (i) any item on the Earnout Statement which the Sellers’ Representative believes has not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) the Sellers’ Representative’s alternative calculation of the Earnout Statement. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be entitled to dispute any portion of the Earnout Statements unless the disputed item has not been prepared in accordance with this Section 2.7 (including the definition of Receiver Revenue) or contains mathematical errors. For the avoidance of doubt, the immediately preceding sentence shall not be in derogation of the Buyer’s obligations under Section 2.7(j) or the Sellers’ rights with respect thereto. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Earnout Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties on such twentieth (20th) Business Day and within three (3) Business Days thereafter the Buyer will pay to the Shareholders and Phantom Plan Participants any undisputed portion of the payment reflected in the applicable Earn-Out Statement and Earnout Dispute Notice, pro rata based on their respective Combined Percentages.

(f) Resolution of Earnout Disputes. Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will attempt to promptly resolve the matters raised in any Earnout Dispute Notice in good faith to the

extent such matters relate to the application of the Specified Accounting Principles and the calculation of Receiver Revenue in accordance with the definitions thereof. Beginning ten (10) Business Days after delivery of any Earnout Dispute Notice, either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative may provide written notice to the other that it elects to submit the disputed items to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm will promptly, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, to the extent the Accounting Firm agrees to comply with these rules, review only those unresolved items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Earnout Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific unresolved item and amount in accordance with this Agreement. The Buyer’s and Sellers’ Representative will instruct the Accounting Firm that it is to accept the calculations in the Earnout Statements except to the extent that they were not prepared in accordance with this Section 2.7 (including the definition of Receiver Revenue) or contain mathematical errors. In any such case, a single partner of the Accounting Firm selected by such Accounting Firm in accordance with its normal procedures and having expertise with respect to settlement of such disputes shall act for the Accounting Firm in the determination proceeding, and the Accounting Firm shall render a written decision as to each disputed matter, including a statement in reasonable detail of the basis for its decision.

(c) Each Company Plan which is intended to qualify under Code Section 401(a) (a “Qualified Plan”) has been determined to be so qualified by the Internal Revenue Service (or, where there is no determination letter but the Qualified Plan is based upon a master and prototype or volume submitter form, the sponsor of such form has received a current advisory opinion as to the form upon which the Company, subject to the terms of such advisory opinion letter, is entitled to rely under applicable Internal Revenue Service procedures) and, to the Knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which has resulted or is likely to result in the revocation of such qualification or which requires or could reasonably be expected to require action under the compliance resolution programs of the Internal Revenue Service to preserve such qualification. Each Company Plan, including any associated trust or fund, has been administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and any applicable collective bargaining agreements and with applicable Legal Requirements, and nothing, to the Knowledge of the Company, has occurred with respect to any Company Plan that has subjected or could reasonably be expected to subject the Company to a penalty under Section 502 of ERISA or to an excise tax under the Code, or that has subjected or could reasonably be expected to subject any participant in, or beneficiary of, a Company Plan to a tax under Code Section 4973.

To the Knowledge of the Company, the fair market value of the assets of each Company Plan for which a separate fund of assets is or is required to be maintained, as of the end of the most recently ended plan year of that Plan, equals or exceeds the present value of all benefits liabilities under that Plan. None of the assets of any Company Plan include any capital stock or other securities issued by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate of the Company.

(e) There is no pending, or to the Company’s Knowledge, threatened Action or other legal proceeding relating to a Company Plan or any fiduciary or service provider thereof, other than routine claims in the Ordinary Course of Business for benefits provided for by the Company Plans, and to the Knowledge of the Company there is no reasonable basis for any such Action or legal proceeding.

(g) The exercise price of each Option is no less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock determined on the date of grant of such Option (and as of any later modification thereof within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code). Each “nonqualified

deferred compensation plan” (as defined in Code Section 409A(d)(1) and applicable regulations) with respect to any service provider to the Company (i) complies and has been operated in material compliance with the requirements of Code Section 409A and regulations promulgated thereunder, or (ii) is exempt from compliance under the “grandfather” provisions of IRS Notice 2005-1 and applicable regulations and has not been “materially modified” (within the meaning of IRS Notice 2005-1 and Treasury Regulations §1.409A-6(a)(4)) subsequent to October 3, 2004.

(h) The Company has not undertaken to maintain any Company Plan for any period of time, and to the Knowledge of the Company each Company Plan and any related contracts may be amended or terminated without penalty other than the payment of benefits, fees or charges accrued or incurred through the date of termination. No communication, report or disclosure has been made which, at the time made, did not accurately reflect the material terms and operations of any Company Plan in all material respects. Except to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Company has not announced its intention, or undertaken (whether or not legally bound) to modify or terminate any Company Plan or adopt any arrangement or program which, once established, would come within the definition of a Company Plan.

(i) With respect to each Company Plan that is primarily subject to Legal Requirements of a jurisdiction outside the United States, each such plan required to be registered has been registered and is in good standing with applicable Governmental Authorities, all contributions required to be made to or in connection with each such plan have been made and each such plan has been established and administered in all material respects in accordance with its terms and all applicable Legal Requirements.

(j) To the Knowledge of the Company, the Company has no Liability, including under any Company Plan, arising out of the treatment of any service provider as a consultant or independent contractor and not as an employee, or vice-versa.

(k) The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not, by itself or in combination with any other event (regardless of whether that other event has occurred or will occur), other than any voluntary decision by the Company after the Closing to amend the terms of any Contractual Obligation with any current or former director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company, result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise) becoming due from or under any Company Plan to any current or former director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company or result in the vesting, acceleration of payment, or increases in the amount of any benefit payable to or in respect of any such current or former director, officer, consultant or employee.

For purposes of this covenant, the phrase “competitive with the Design & Manufacturing Business” shall mean any business that designs or manufactures radio frequency, microwave or millimeter wave components and subsystems for defense or commercial applications that are competitive with any product being offered for sale by the Design & Manufacturing Business as of the Closing Date or that is in development by the Design & Manufacturing Business as of the Closing Date. For the Non-Competition Period, each Seller severally agrees that it shall not and shall not permit, cause or encourage any of such Seller’s Affiliates to, directly or indirectly as an owner, employee, consultant or otherwise, recruit, offer employment, employ, engage as a consultant, lure or entice away, or in any other manner persuade or attempt to persuade, any Person who is an employee of the Company or the Buyer to leave the employ of the Company or the Buyer, except that the New Services Entity shall have the right to offer employment to and hire Anna Graziosi, Sharon Cucchiaro and Barbara Payson, current employees of the Company, and the New Services Entity shall have the right to offer employment to Jan Conant, at the time and subject to the conditions of (including the consent of the Buyer where required) the Transition Services Agreement. For purposes of this Section 6.4, “Non-Competition Period” means (i) in the case of Lamberto Raffaelli and his Affiliates, the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending two years after the expiration of the term of his consulting relationship under the Consulting Agreement and (ii) in the case of all the other Sellers and their respective Affiliates, means the period of two (2) years from the Closing Date.

(b) If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Section 6.4 is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court

making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

(c) If any Seller breaches, or threatens to commit a breach of, any of the provisions of this Section 6.4, Buyer and the Company 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 or the Company under law or in equity:

(i) the right and remedy to have such provision specifically enforced by any court having jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach may cause irreparable injury to each of Buyer and the Company and that money damages may not provide an adequate remedy to Buyer or the Company; and

(ii) the right and remedy to recover from such Seller all monetary damages suffered by Buyer or the Company, as the case may be, as the result of any acts or omissions constituting a breach of this Section 6.4.

(d) Sellers acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section 6.4 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The covenants contained in this Section 6.4 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.5. Interest on Overdue Amounts; Set-Offs. (a) For purposes of this Agreement, in the event any payment is due under this Agreement and not paid when due, such overdue amount shall bear interest from the third Business Day after the date due up to and including the date of payment, at a rate per annum of 6.00%. In addition, in the event that the Buyer or the Seller’s Representative disputes that any amount is due and owing under this Agreement (including without limitation pursuant to Section 2.7, Article IX or Article X), when the disputed amount is resolved, the party paying such amount shall also pay interest from the date first disputed until paid, at 6.00% per annum.

(b) The Buyer and the Company may set off any amount it owes under this Agreement to any Seller against any amount owed by such Seller to the Buyer or the Company; provided that except as provided in the last sentence of Section 10.9, the Buyer and the Company will not set off against amounts owed to the Sellers in order to satisfy a claim for indemnification under Article IX if at that time there are sufficient funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement to satisfy such claim that are not subject to another pending claim under the Escrow Agreement.

Section 6.6. Further Assurances. From and after the Closing Date, upon the request of either the Sellers’ Representative or the Company, each of the parties hereto shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver all such further acts, assurances, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances and other instruments and papers as may be reasonably required or appropriate to carry out the Contemplated Transactions. Except for the hirings permitted under Section 6.4(a), at any time prior to two (2) years after the Closing Date no Seller shall take any action that is specifically designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, supplier, distributor or customer of the Company or other Person with whom the Company has a relationship from maintaining the same relationship with the Company after the Closing as it maintained prior to the Closing.

Section 6.7. Certain Employment and Employee Benefits Matters. Except as otherwise provided herein Buyer and the Company are under no obligation to hire or retain any employee, independent contractor or consultant, or, except as provided pursuant to any Contractual Obligation disclosed in Section 3.14 or Section 3.15 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, provide any employee, independent contractor or consultant with any particular benefits, or make any payments or provide any benefits to those employees, independent contractors or consultants whom the Buyer or the Company chooses not to employ or subsequently terminates, except as otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 6.8. Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) For a period of six (6) years after the Closing Date, in the event of any threatened or actual Action, whether civil, criminal or administrative, in which any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the Closing, a director or officer of the Company (the “Indemnified Parties”) is, or is threatened to be, made a party thereto based in whole or in part on (i) the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or (ii) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, whether in any case asserted or arising before, on or after the Closing, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless such person from and against such Action to the full extent required under, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the Company’s Articles of Organization as in effect on the date hereof.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the Company’s directors and officers in a form acceptable to the Sellers’ Representative that shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by the Company. The cost of such coverage shall be a Seller Transaction Expense.

(c) The provisions of this Section 6.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party’s estate, administrators, executors, heirs and representatives, and nothing herein shall affect any indemnification rights that any such person may have under the Company’s Organizational Documents, any contract or applicable law.

(d) The obligations of the Buyer and the Company under this Section 6.8 shall continue in full force and effect for a period commencing as of the Closing and ending as of the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any matter for which indemnification under this Section 6.8 has been asserted or made within such period shall continue until the final disposition of such matter.

(e) In the event that all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company are sold, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or securities or otherwise, in one transaction or a series of transactions, then the Buyer and the Company shall, in each such case, take action to ensure that the successors and assigns of the Company assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.8. The provisions of this Section 6.8 shall apply to all of the successors and assigns of the Company.

Section 6.9. Release by Sellers. Effective as of the Closing, each of the Sellers hereby releases the Company, its successors and assigns and its Affiliates, directors and officers from any claim, demand, lien, liability, debt, right, set-off, trespass, tort, wrong, covenant, action, suit, expense, damage, judgment, order and liability of whatever kind or nature, in law or in equity, under contract, in tort, by statute or otherwise, whether known or unknown, vested or contingent, suspected or unsuspected and whether or not concealed or hidden, that were or could have been asserted in any suit, arbitration or mediation, in any jurisdiction, state, federal or otherwise, under any law, state, federal or otherwise, arising out of or relating to, in whole or in part, any action, omission, incident, event, fact or circumstance existing or occurring on or prior to the Closing Date (collectively, “Claims”) and relating to (i) any claim that such Seller or any Affiliate or Family Member of such Seller has any right to acquire (by purchase or otherwise) any Equity Interest in the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, receive any bonus or similar amount from the Company or any subsidiary of the Company (other than with respect to bonus plans identified on Schedule 3.14 hereto) or acquire any asset of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, other than in the case of any Phantom Plan Participants, the payments to be made pursuant to the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement, in the case of Mr. Raffaelli, payments to be made pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, and, in the case of ELT, any claims arising under any Contractual Obligation to which ELT is a party and disclosed in Section 3.16 of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (ii) any Claims relating to the bonuses paid pursuant to Section 7.1(b) below or the share transfers described in Section 7.1(c) below or related to the payments to be made pursuant to the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement (other than, with respect to any Seller that is a Phantom Plan Participant, any claim for payment under the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement).

(b) Assumption of Defense, etc. The Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the entire control of the defense of any Third Party Claim that is the subject of a notice given by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person pursuant to Section 9.4(a), including, at its own expense, employment of counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, and in connection therewith, the Indemnified Person shall cooperate fully with the reasonable requests of the Indemnifying Party and make available to the Indemnifying Party all pertinent information and personnel under its control reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party.

(v) the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that a material actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of the Third Party Claim;

(vi) the Third Party Claim relates to or otherwise arises in connection with any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action, other than a regulatory Action that by its terms is limited solely to the pursuit of monetary relief and could not result in any disbarment, loss of qualification, change in business operations or other non-monetary impact on the business of the Buyer or the Company; or

(vii) the Indemnifying Party does not conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim diligently.

The Indemnified Person may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate reasonably (but not control) in the defense of the Third Party Claim.

(c) Limitations on Indemnifying Party Control. The Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless, subject to the other terms hereof, such judgment, compromise or settlement (i) provides for the payment of money as sole relief for the claimant, (ii) results in the full and general release of all Indemnified Persons from all liabilities arising or relating to, or in connection with, the Third Party Claim and (iii) involves no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person.

(d) Indemnified Person’s Control. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control or is otherwise not entitled to assume control or loses the right to continue to control the defense of any Third Party Claim as contemplated by Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Person may defend the Third Party Claim in any reasonable manner; provided, however, the Indemnified Person shall not consent to the entry of any judgment and shall not enter into any compromise or settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. In the event that the Indemnified Person conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.4(d):

(i) the Indemnifying Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate reasonably (but not control) in the defense of the Third Party Claim;

Section 9.5. Consent to Jurisdiction Regarding Third Party Claim. The Buyer, each of the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative, each hereby consents to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any court in which any Third Party Claim may be brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of any claim in the nature of impleader or similar actions which such Indemnified Person may have against any such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in connection with such Third Party Claim and where the Indemnified Party would be materially prejudiced if it did not bring the Sellers or Sellers’ Representative into such proceeding, and in furtherance thereof, the provisions of Section 11.9 are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

Section 9.6. No Circular Recovery. Each Seller hereby agrees that it will not make any claim for indemnification against the Buyer or the Company, under Section 6.8 of this Agreement or otherwise, by reason of the fact that such Seller was a controlling person, director, employee or Representative of the Company or was serving as such for another Person at the request of the Company (whether such claim is for Losses of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any Legal Requirement, Organizational Document, Contractual Obligation or otherwise) with respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against any Seller under this Agreement. With respect to any claim brought by a Buyer Indemnified Person against any Seller under this Agreement, each Seller expressly waives any right of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against the Company with respect to any amounts owed by such Seller pursuant to this Article IX.

Section 9.7. Other Limitations and Provisions. In addition to the other limitations on indemnification set forth herein:

(a) No Indemnifying Party shall have any indemnification obligation for punitive, exemplary or special damages except to the extent amounts in respect of any such type of damages are paid or payable to a third party in respect of a claim by it.

(b) In no event shall any Seller have any obligation to make indemnification payments in excess of the cash proceeds actually received by such Seller pursuant to Article II, the Escrow Agreement or Article X.

(c) Except to the extent of the Escrowed Amount on account of breaches by the Company, in no event shall any Seller be responsible or liable for any obligation of any other Seller.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge that nothing in this Agreement is intended to create any contractual duty to mitigate Losses or is intended to limit any party’s obligation to mitigate Losses under applicable law.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any indemnification payment pursuant to this Agreement shall be (a) reduced by the amount of any Tax benefit (as defined below) actually realized by the Indemnified Person, and (b) increased to take into account any net tax cost actually incurred by the Indemnified Person as a result of the accrual or receipt of any such indemnity payment (grossed up for such increase). Any indemnification payment under this Article IX or Article X shall initially be made without

regard to this Section 9.7(e) and shall be increased or reduced to reflect any such net Tax cost (including gross-up) or net Tax benefit only after the Indemnified Person has actually realized such cost or benefit. For purposes of this Agreement (other than Section 10.8), an Indemnified Person shall be deemed to have “actually realized” a net Tax cost or a net Tax benefit to the extent that, and at such time as, the amount of Taxes payable by such Indemnified Person is increased above or reduced below, as the case may be, the amount of Taxes that such Indemnified Person would be required to pay but for the receipt of the indemnity payment or the incurrence or payment of such Loss or Taxes, as the case may be. The amount of any increase or reduction hereunder shall be adjusted to reflect any final determination with respect to the Indemnified Person’s liability for Taxes, and payments between the parties to this Agreement to reflect such adjustment shall be made if necessary. The determination of whether there has been a Tax cost or Tax benefit shall be made solely at the Indemnified Person’s good faith discretion. For purposes of this Section 9.7(e), the Indemnified Person shall be deemed to recognize all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit before recognizing any item arising from the receipt of any indemnification payment hereunder or the incurrence or payment of any indemnified Loss. Nothing in this Section 9.7(e) will require any party to alter its tax position or otherwise give up any right related to taxes in order to claim a Tax benefit for purposes of this Section 9.7(e).

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to the next sentence, no party shall be entitled to recover an amount pursuant to this Article IX, to the extent that such party or any of its Affiliates has already recovered such amount (calculated net of the costs incurred to collect such amount) from an insurance company. Nothing in this Section 9.7(f) or otherwise in this Agreement is intended to require any party to pursue claims against any insurer or to waive or modify the subrogation or similar rights of any insurer of any Person.

Section 9.8. Knowledge and Investigation. The right of any Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX will not be affected by any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement, referred to in Sections 9.1 and 9.2. The waiver of any condition contained in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement based on the breach of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right of any Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX based on such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

Section 9.9. Escrowed Amount. In addition to the other limitations on indemnification set forth herein, the Buyer shall first seek a remedy from the Escrowed Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement with respect to any indemnification claim asserted hereunder before seeking to recover any Losses directly from any Sellers. On August 31, 2012 (the “Release Date”), as provided in the Escrow Agreement certain amounts held in escrow will be released to the Sellers and Phantom Plan Participants, and thereafter any remaining amounts will be distributed to Buyer Indemnified Persons, the Sellers or Phantom Plan Participants as provided in the Escrow Agreement. As set forth in more detail in the Escrow Agreement, the

Escrow Agent shall distribute to each Seller its Combined Percentage thereof, in each case less any amount that has previously been paid to the Buyer from the Escrow Amount on account of indemnity claims against such Seller pursuant to Section 9.1(a)(iii) or (iv), and as provided in the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement will remit to each Phantom Plan Participant its Combined Percentage thereof. As set forth in more detail in the Escrow Agreement, promptly as practicable following the resolution of each pending indemnification claim which was outstanding as of the Release Date (other than claims solely against one Seller arising under Section 9.1(a)(iii) or (iv), in which case after the resolution of the pending indemnification claim any related portion of the Escrowed Amount that is not released to the Buyer will be released solely to the applicable Seller), the Escrow Agent shall distribute to each Seller and each Phantom Plan Participant its Combined Percentage of the excess, if any, of (a) the amount so withheld with respect to such pending indemnification claim as of the Release Date, over (b) the amount used to satisfy the indemnification obligation of the Sellers pursuant to this Article IX and Phantom Plan Participant pursuant to the Phantom Plan Payment Agreement with respect to such pending indemnification claim.

Section 9.10. Remedies Cumulative. The rights of each Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person under this Article IX are cumulative, and each Buyer Indemnified Person and Seller Indemnified Person will have the right in any particular circumstance, in its sole discretion, to enforce any provision of this Article IX without regard to the availability of a remedy under any other provision of this Article IX.

Section 9.11. Remedies Exclusive. The remedies provided in this Article IX and Article X shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties hereto after the closing for monetary damages in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than for actual fraud), including any breach or non-performance of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and except that any party to any Ancillary Agreement may bring any action it chooses, outside of this Article IX, for any claim under that Ancillary Agreement. No party may commence any suit, action or proceeding against any other party hereto or any of their respective Affiliates (or any other Person) with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, except to enforce such party’s express rights under this Article IX and Article X and any claim for specific performance pursuant to Sections 6.2, 6.4 or 11.10 and except that any party to any Ancillary Agreement may bring any action it chooses, outside of this Article IX, for any claim under that Ancillary Agreement. The provisions of Article IX were specifically bargained for and reflected in the amounts payable to the Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE X

TAX MATTERS

Section 10.1. Tax Indemnification. From and after the Closing Date, each Seller shall severally, and not jointly, in accordance with their respective Applicable Indemnity Percentages indemnify and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnified Person from, against and in respect of any and all Losses that constitute or that result from, arise out of or relate to, directly or indirectly (a) Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company for all Taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the Closing Date for any Taxable

period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (b) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar Legal Requirement, (c) any and all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, pursuant to a Contractual Obligation entered into at any time at or prior to the Closing, or otherwise and (d) any and all Taxes related to the Service Business Transfer and issuance of Equity Interests in the New Services Entity and distribution of these Equity Interests to the Sellers, in each case unless such Taxes were taken into account in determining Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.6.

Section 10.2. Straddle Period. In the case of any Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes of the Company based upon or measured by net income or gain for the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company holds a beneficial interest will be deemed to terminate at such time). The amount of Taxes other than Taxes of the Company based upon or measured by net income or gain for a Straddle Period which relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.

Section 10.3. Tax Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar Contractual Obligations and all powers of attorney with respect to or involving the Company will be terminated prior to the Closing and, after the Closing, the Company will not be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder.

Section 10.4. Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other similar Taxes, and any conveyance fees or recording charges incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, will be paid by the Sellers when due out of the funds held in the escrow account maintained pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The Sellers’ Representative will, at the expense of the Sellers, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges and, if required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Buyer will (and will cause its Affiliates to) join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

Section 10.5. Cooperation on Tax Matters. The Buyer, the Company, the Sellers’ Representatives and the Sellers will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any of the Buyer, the Company or the Sellers’ Representatives, in connection with any Tax matters relating to the Company (including by the provision of reasonably relevant records or information). The party requesting such cooperation will pay the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the other parties.

Section 10.6. Control. The Company shall promptly notify the Sellers’ Representative in writing upon receipt by the Company of a written notice of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments with respect to Taxes for any Pre-Closing Tax Periods

(“Tax Contest Claims”); provided, however, no failure or delay by the Company to provide notice of a Tax Contest Claim shall reduce or otherwise affect the obligation of the Sellers hereunder except to the extent the defense of such Tax Contest Claim is prejudiced thereby. The Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to control the conduct of any issues in any such Tax Contest Claim; provided, that (i) the Sellers’ Representative shall have confirmed in writing that the Sellers are obligated hereunder to indemnify Buyer with respect to such Tax Contest Claim, (ii) the Sellers’ Representative shall keep the Company informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of any such Tax Contest Claim, including providing the Company with all written materials relating to such Tax proceeding received from the relevant taxing authority and all written materials submitted to such taxing authority by the Sellers’ Representative, (iii) the Company shall be entitled to participate in any such Tax Contest Claim, including having an opportunity to comment on any written materials prepared in connection with any such Tax Contest Claim and attending any conferences relating to any such Tax Contest Claim and (iv) the Sellers’ Representative shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Contest Claim without obtaining the Company’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Company shall control the conduct of any issues in any Tax Contest Claim in respect of Taxes for Straddle Periods; provided, that (i) the Company shall keep the Sellers’ Representative informed regarding the progress and substantive aspects of any such Tax Contest Claim, including providing the Sellers’ Representative with all written materials relating to such Tax proceeding received from the relevant taxing authority and all written materials submitted to such taxing authority by Buyer or the Company, (ii) the Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to participate in any such Tax Contest Claim, including having an opportunity to comment on any written materials prepared in connection with any such Tax Contest Claim and to attend any conferences relating to any such Tax Contest Claim and (iii) the Company and the Buyer (to the extent it has any authority to compromise or settle Tax Contest Claims) shall not compromise or settle any such Tax Contest Claim without obtaining the Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 10.6 and any other Section of this Agreement, this Section 10.6 shall control.

Section 10.7. Purchase Price Adjustment. The parties agree that any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

Section 10.8. Tax Benefits Attributable to Seller Transaction Expenses, Option Exercises, Phantom Equity Plan Payouts and Share Transfers. In the event that any Seller Transaction Expenses, Option exercises or Phantom Equity Plan Payouts are properly reportable in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements as deductions by the Company or any of its Affiliates (on the Company’s consolidated federal income Tax Return, on any other consolidated, combined or unitary Tax Return of the Company under state, local or foreign Tax law, or otherwise) in a Post-Closing Tax Period, then the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers an amount of cash equal to the amount of any related Tax Benefits within 7 Business Days following the date of filing of the Tax Return on which such Tax Benefits are reported by the Company or any of its Affiliates. For purposes of this Section 10.8, “Tax Benefits” means the excess of (a) the hypothetical aggregate Tax liability that would have been reported on the applicable Tax Return of the Company and its Affiliates for a Post-Closing Tax Period determined without regard to the payment of any of the applicable Seller Transaction Expenses,

the exercise of any Options or any Phantom Equity Plan Payouts over (b) the actual aggregate Tax liability of the Company and its Affiliates reported on the applicable Tax Return for such Post-Closing Tax Period. The Buyer shall be entitled to use all other available deductions before using any Seller Transaction Expenses, Option exercises or Phantom Equity Plan Payouts to reduce taxable income in such Post-Closing Tax Period. The determination of any Tax Benefits shall be made by the Buyer in good faith consistent with the three preceding sentences, and, upon written request by the Sellers’ Representative, the Buyer shall provide to the Sellers’ Representative a calculation supporting the Buyer’s determination of such Tax Benefits; provided, however, that this Section 10.8 shall not be construed to require Buyer or any of its Affiliates to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to Taxes that is deemed confidential) to any Seller, the Sellers’ Representative or any other Person. To the extent allowed by all applicable Legal Requirements, the transfer of shares of the Company’s capital stock by Lamberto Raffaelli as described below on or prior to the Closing Date shall be treated for Tax purposes and for all purposes of this Section 10.8 as a contribution of such shares by Lamberto Raffaelli to the capital of the Company immediately followed by a transfer of such shares by the Company to such employee as compensation arising in a Pre-Closing Tax Period in accordance with Treasury Regulations section 1.83-6(d). Lamberto Raffaelli hereby confirms that prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement he transferred shares in compliance with the Stockholders Agreement as follows: 15,000 to Frederick Schindler, 15,000 to Michael Groden and 10,000 to Philip Beucler, and that he has not at any time after September 30, 2010 made any other transfer of Shares.

Section 10.9. Refunds. The amount of any refunds of Taxes of the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be for the account of Sellers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such refunds of Taxes shall be for the account of Buyer to the extent such refunds of Taxes are attributable (determined on a marginal basis) to the carryback from a Post-Closing Tax Period, of items of loss, deduction or credit, or other Tax items, of the Company (or any of its Affiliates, including Buyer) other than any Seller Transaction Expenses, Option exercises and Phantom Equity Plan Payouts subject to Section 10.8. The amount of any other refunds of Taxes of the Company shall be for the account of the Buyer. Each party shall forward, and shall cause its Affiliates to forward, to the party entitled to receive the amount of a refund to Tax the amount of such refund, within ten (10) days after such refund is received. The Buyer and its Affiliates shall, if the Sellers’ Representative so requests, cause the Company to file for and use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such Tax refund for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any refund of Tax payable to Sellers pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall first be reduced by any unpaid indemnifiable amounts that Sellers owe under Section 10.1 relating to Taxes payable with respect to the Services Business Transfer and all related distributions of the Equity Interests of the New Services Entity.

Subject to the immediately following sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, each of which such successors and permitted assigns will be deemed to be a party hereto for all purposes hereof. No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties (with the Sellers’ Representative acting for all of the Sellers), and any attempt to do so will be null and void ab initio; provided, that (a) the Buyer may assign this Agreement and any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates or designate one or more of its Affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder, in each case, so long as the Buyer is not relieved of any liability or obligations hereunder, (b) the Buyer may assign this Agreement and any or all of its rights and interest hereunder to any purchaser of all or substantially all its assets or designate such purchaser to perform its obligations hereunder, subject to Section 2.7(h), (c) the Buyer may assign certain obligations as provided in Section 2.7(h) and (d) any of the Buyer Indemnified Persons may collaterally assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder to any provider of debt financing to it or any of its Affiliates. Except as expressly provided herein, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assignees and nothing herein expressed or implied will give or be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto and such successors and permitted assignees, any other right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that an Indemnified Person that is not party hereto is intended to be an express third party beneficiary of Article IX of this Agreement.

Section 11.3. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by Buyer, the Company and the Sellers’ Representative (acting for all of the Sellers), or in the case of a waiver, by the party (or in the case of any or all of the Sellers, by the Sellers’ Representative) against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation of, default under or inaccuracy in any representation, warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach or violation of, default under, or inaccuracy in, any such representation, warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof.

Section 11.4. Provisions Concerning the Sellers’ Representative.

(a) Appointment. Each Seller hereby irrevocably appoints Lamberto Raffaelli as the sole and exclusive agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Seller for all purposes of this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, with full and exclusive power and authority to act on such Seller’s behalf (the “Sellers’ Representative”). The appointment of the Sellers’ Representative hereunder is coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable and shall not be affected by the death, incapacity, insolvency, bankruptcy, illness or other inability to act of any Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Sellers’ Representative is hereby authorized, on behalf of the Sellers, to:

(i) in connection with the Closing, execute and receive all documents, instruments, certificates, statements and agreements on behalf of and in the name of each Seller necessary to effectuate the Closing and consummate the Contemplated Transactions;

(ii) receive and give all notices and service of process, make all filings, enter into all Contractual Obligations, make all decisions, bring, prosecute, defend, settle, compromise or otherwise resolve all claims, disputes and Actions, authorize payments in respect of any such claims, disputes or Actions, and take all other actions, in each case, with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Article IX or Article X or any other Actions directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions;

(iii) receive and give all notices, make all decisions and take all other actions on behalf of the Sellers in connection with the Escrowed Amount and the escrowed funds, including giving any instructions or authorizations to the Buyer or the Escrow Agent to pay from such escrowed funds any amounts owed by the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Contemplated Transactions;

(iv) execute and deliver, should it elect to do so in its good faith discretion, on behalf of the Sellers, any amendment to, or waiver of, any term or provision of this Agreement, or any consent, acknowledgment or release relating to this Agreement; and

(v) take all other actions permitted or required to be taken by or on behalf of the Sellers under this Agreement and exercise any and all rights that the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement.

(b) Liability. The Sellers’ Representative shall not be held liable by any of the Sellers for actions or omissions in exercising or failing to exercise all or any of the power and authority of the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to this Agreement, except in the case of the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative shall be entitled to rely on the advice of counsel, public accountants or other independent experts that it reasonably determines to be experienced in the matter at issue, and will not be liable to any Seller for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith based on such advice. The Sellers will jointly and severally indemnify the Sellers’ Representative from any Losses arising out of its serving as the Sellers’ Representative hereunder, except for Losses arising out of or caused by the Sellers’ Representative’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Sellers’ Representative is serving in its capacity as such solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of the Sellers hereunder, and the Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Sellers’ Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Sellers hereunder.

(c) Reliance on Appointment; Successor Sellers’ Representative. The Buyer and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons may rely on the appointment and authority of the Sellers’ Representative granted pursuant to this Section 11.4 until receipt of written notice of the appointment of a successor Sellers’ Representative made in accordance with this Section 11.4. In so doing, the Buyer and the other Buyer Indemnified Persons may rely on any and all actions taken by and decisions of the Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among any of the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative with respect to any such action or decision without any Liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller, the Sellers’ Representative or any other Person. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative shall constitute a decision of all the Sellers and shall be final and binding upon each of the Sellers. At any time after the Closing, with or without cause, by a written instrument that is signed in writing by holders of at least a majority-in-interest of the Sellers (determined by reference to their respective Combined Percentages) and delivered to Buyer, the Sellers may remove and designate a successor Sellers’ Representative.

Section 11.5. Entire Agreement.

(a) This Agreement, together with the other Ancillary Agreements and any documents, instruments and certificates expressly referred to herein, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, understandings and agreements, whether written or oral, with respect thereto. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties, representations, covenants, or undertakings, other than those expressly provided for herein and therein.

(b) Each party hereto acknowledges that no party has made, and none of its Affiliates or Representatives has made, nor has any party relied on, any representation, warranty, covenant

or agreement, express or implied, with respect to the Company, its business or the Contemplated Transactions, other than those representations, warranties, covenants and agreement explicitly set forth in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Section 11.6. Counterparts; Facsimile Signature. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement will become effective when duly executed and delivered by each party hereto. Counterpart signature pages to this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or electronic delivery (i.e., by email of a PDF signature page) and each such counterpart signature page will constitute an original for all purposes.

Section 11.7. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. In the event that any provision hereof would, under applicable Legal Requirements, be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, each party hereto intends that such provision will be construed by modifying or limiting it so as to be valid and enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with, and possible under, applicable Legal Requirements.

Section 11.8. Governing Law. This Agreement, the rights of the parties hereunder and all Actions arising in whole or in part under or in connection herewith, will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.

Section 11.9. Jurisdiction; Venue; Service of Process.

(a) Jurisdiction. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 9.5, each of the parties to this Agreement, by its execution hereof, (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court located in The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, or if such Action may not be brought in federal court, the state courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts located in the City of Boston for the purpose of any Action among any of the parties relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, (ii) hereby waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Action brought in one of the above-named courts should be dismissed on grounds of forum non conveniens, should be transferred or removed to any court other than one of the above-named courts, or should be stayed by reason of the pendency of some other Action in any other court other than one of the above-named courts or that this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the subject matter hereof or thereof may not be enforced in or by such court and (iii) hereby agrees not to commence any such Action other than before one of the above-named courts. Notwithstanding the previous sentence a party may commence any Action

in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts.

(b) Venue. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 9.5, each of the parties to this Agreement agrees that for any Action among any of the parties relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions, such party shall bring such Action only in the City of Boston. Notwithstanding the previous sentence a party may commence any Action in a court other than the above-named courts solely for the purpose of enforcing an order or judgment issued by one of the above-named courts. Each party hereto further waives any claim and will not assert that venue should properly lie in any other location within the selected jurisdiction.

(c) Service of Process. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby (i) consents to service of process in any Action among any of the parties hereto relating to or arising in whole or in part under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions in any manner permitted by Massachusetts law, (ii) agrees that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or made by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified pursuant to Section 9.1, will constitute good and valid service of process in any such Action and (iii) waives and agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise) in any such Action any claim that service of process made in accordance with clause (i) or (ii) does not constitute good and valid service of process.

(d) Agents. Each of ELT and Costanzo Perlini, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrevocably and fully waives the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any Action as provided in this Section 11.9 and has designated and appointed CT Corporation System, whose address is 155 Federal Street, Suite 700, Boston, MA 02210 (the “Registered Agent”), as its Registered Agent upon whom process may be served in any such Action.

Each of ELT and Costanzo Perlini has authorized and directed the Registered Agent to accept such service. Each of ELT and Costanzo Perlini further agrees that service of process upon its Registered Agent and written notice of said service to ELT and Costanzo Perlini, as the case may be, mailed by first class mail or delivered to its Registered Agent shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon ELT and Costanzo Perlini, as the case may be, in any such suit or proceeding.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the other parties would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached or violated. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, without posting a bond or other undertaking, the other parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any Action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert that the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE, AND COVENANT THAT THEY WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY OF THEM MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY ANCILLARY AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS AND THAT SUCH ACTIONS WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
