2.4 Adjustment to Purchase Price

(a) Not later than one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Company will deliver to Buyer a certificate signed by an officer of the Company (the “Preliminary Statement”) setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate (including all calculations in reasonable detail) of (i) the Tangible Net Asset Value as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Tangible Net Asset Value”), (ii) the balance sheet for the Company as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), (iii) the amount of the Cash (that will not otherwise have been distributed pursuant to Section 2.6) as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date. The Company will provide to the Buyer immediately prior to Closing an update of the Preliminary Statement to reflect any events or occurrences (such as payment of accounts receivables or writing of checks) or other information that would make the initially-delivered Preliminary Statement inaccurate in any material respects. The Company must prepare the Preliminary Statement and each element thereof by applying GAAP (as modified by the definition of “Tangible Net Asset Value”) and, but only to the extent consistent with GAAP, in a manner consistent with the Company’s past accounting practices. The Preliminary Statement shall be subject to Buyer's written approval, and not later than one (1) day prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall identify any adjustments that it believes are required to the Preliminary Statement. If Seller disputes any such adjustments, Buyer and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts resolve such dispute. In the event the Buyer provides its written approval of the Preliminary Statement, the Purchase Price will be adjusted (up or down) at the Closing by the amount of the “Closing Adjustment,” equal to the estimated Tangible Net Asset Value set forth on the Seller’s updated Preliminary Statement minus the Target Tangible Net Asset Value. In the event that Buyer does not provide its written approval of the Preliminary Statement, the Closing shall proceed subject to the fulfillment or waiver in accordance herewith of the conditions set forth in Article 8, and any adjustment to the Purchase Price with respect to Tangible Net Asset Value and/or Cash shall be determined in accordance with Section 2.4(b) and (c).

(b) No later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Seller, the Buyer’s good faith determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and actual Tangible Net Asset Value as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Closing Date and the actual Cash as of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding

Closing Date, and identifying any adjustments to the Purchase Price under Section 2.4(c) as a result of such determinations. The Buyer must prepare such information by applying GAAP (as modified by the

- 14 -

definition of “Tangible Net Asset Value”) and, but only to the extent consistent with GAAP, in a manner consistent with the Company’s past accounting practices. If the Seller does not object to the Buyer’s determinations within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, or accepts such determinations in writing during such thirty (30) day period, the Purchase Price will be adjusted as set forth in the Buyer’s notice of its determinations, and payment made in accordance with Section 2.4(c). If the Seller objects to all or part of the Buyer’s determinations, the Seller will notify the Buyer in writing of such objections within thirty (30) days after the Seller’s receipt thereof (such notice setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such objections). During such thirty (30) day period, the Buyer will permit the Seller access to such work papers relating to the preparation of Buyer’s determinations as may be reasonably necessary to review in detail the manner in which Buyer’s determinations were prepared. The Buyer and Seller will thereafter negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections. If Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve all of such differences within twenty (20) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s objections, either the Buyer or Seller may require the other party to resolve such dispute by way of the Dispute Resolution Procedure by providing such other party written notice of such demand. The terms “Final Tangible Net Asset Value,” “Final Company Cash” mean the definitive Tangible Net Asset Value and the definitive amount of Cash, respectively, as each is finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4(b).

(c) In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Tangible Net Asset Value and Final Company Cash:

(i) If the sum of (A) (1) Final Tangible Net Asset Value minus (2) the estimated Tangible Net Asset Value set forth on the Seller’s updated Preliminary Statement (or, in the event the Preliminary Statement is not approved by Buyer, the Target Tangible Net Asset Value), plus (B) (1) Final Company Cash minus estimated Cash set forth on the Seller’s updated Preliminary Statement (or, in the event the Preliminary Statement is not approved by Buyer, zero), is a positive number, then the Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Seller the Tangible Net Asset Escrow and the Buyer shall additionally pay to the Seller an amount equal to such positive sum;

(ii) If the sum of (A) (1) Final Tangible Net Asset Value minus (2) the estimated Tangible Net Asset Value set forth on the Seller’s updated Preliminary Statement (or, in the event the Preliminary Statement is not approved by Buyer, the Target Tangible Net Asset Value), plus (B) (1) Final Company Cash minus (2) estimated Cash set forth on the Seller’s updated Preliminary Statement (or, in the event the Preliminary Statement is not approved by Buyer, zero) is a negative number, then the Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to the Buyer from the Tangible Net Asset Escrow the amount by which such negative sum is less than zero (0) (such deficit, the “Deficit Amount”), up to and including the entire amount of the Tangible Net Asset Escrow as necessary. If the Deficit Amount is greater than the amount of the Tangible Net Asset Escrow, then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer in Cash an amount equal to such shortfall. If the Deficit Amount is less than the amount of the Tangible Net Asset Escrow, then the Buyer and Seller shall instruct the Escrow Agent to pay the remaining balance of the Tangible Net Asset Escrow to the Seller.

2.5 Other Assets. Any assets, whether contracts, employees property or otherwise, which are necessary to operate the Company but which are not owned or leased by the Company but instead are owned by the Seller, all of which are listed in Schedule 2.5 attached hereto, will be conveyed by the Seller to the Buyer at the Closing at no charge or will be the subject of a free and unencumbered exclusive use right granted by the Seller to the Company at the Closing at no charge.

If the Seller does not provide written notice of any such dispute on or prior to February 26, 2010, the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Buyer Determined 2010 Gross Margin. If the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of a dispute of the Buyer Determined 2010 Gross Margin on or prior to February 26, 2010, the Buyer and Seller shall attempt to resolve such dispute on or prior to March 8, 2010. In the event the Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute on or prior to March 8, 2010, (A) either the Buyer or Seller may require the other party to resolve such dispute by way of the Dispute Resolution Procedure by providing such other party written notice of such demand, and (B) the obligation to pay the 2010 Earnout Payment shall be suspended until the final resolution of the dispute. The anticipated aggregate Gross Margin for calendar year 2010 from the Government Contracts described in the first sentence of this Section 2.7(b)(i) finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.7(b)(i) shall be referred to as the “Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin.”

(ii) On or prior to March 1, 2010, or, in the event there is a pending dispute of the Buyer Determined 2010 Gross Margin as of March 1, 2010, five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin, the Buyer shall pay the Seller an amount (the “2010 Earnout Payment”) equal to (A) the Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin minus (B) the greater of (x) the Anticipated 2009 Gross Margin and (y) the Gross Margin Threshold, provided the 2010 Earnout Payment is a positive number.

(iii) If the Seller earned the 2009 Earnout Payment, but the Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin is determined to be less than the Gross Margin Threshold, Seller shall pay to Buyer, on or prior to March 1, 2010 or, in the event there is a dispute of the Buyer Determined 2010 Gross Margin, five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin, an amount equal to (A) the Gross Margin Threshold minus (B) the Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin (the “2010 Deficit”), such amount not to exceed the 2009 Earnout Payment. Any payment owed by the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to this subparagraph (c)(iii) will be payable from the Claims Escrow upon written demand by the Buyer and the Seller shall provide with the Buyer with joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent to deliver from the Claims Escrow to the Buyer an amount equal to the 2010 Deficit.

(c)	8(a) Contract Migration Payments.

- 17 -

(i) In the event that, subsequent to April 30, 2008, any of the work (as set forth in the applicable 8(a) Contract's statement of work) under any Government Contract awarded pursuant to Section 8(a) of the Small Business Act and in effect as of April 30, 2008 or as of the Closing Date, which Government Contracts are set forth on Schedule 2.7(c) hereto (the “8(a) Contracts”), has been or is Migrated on or before the termination or expiration of the performance period under such 8(a) Contract, the Buyer shall deliver to Seller, within five (5) Business Days following the date of commencement of such work, Buyer’s calculation of the actual awarded revenue value for the 12-month period following the Migration from such Migrated work (assuming anticipated renewals, options exercises and/or successful recompetes in such 12-month period of the applicable Government Contracts to which such work is Migarated, as applicable) (with respect to any such work, the “Buyer Determined Revenue”). To the extent that the Seller has any dispute with the Buyer Determined Revenue with respect to any Migrated work, the Seller shall, no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the Buyer Determined Revenue, notify the Buyer in writing of its specific objections to the Buyer Determined Revenue. Prior to such date, the Buyer will permit the Seller access to such work papers relating to the preparation of Buyer’s determinations as may be reasonably necessary to review in detail the manner in which Buyer’s determinations were prepared. If the Seller does not provide written notice of any such dispute on or prior to such thirtieth (30th) day, the Seller shall be deemed to have accepted the Buyer Determined Revenue with respect to such Migrated work. If the Seller provides the Buyer with written notice of a dispute of the Buyer Determined Revenue on or prior to such thirtieth (30th) day, the Buyer and Seller shall attempt to resolve such dispute on or prior the forty-fifth (45th) day from the date of delivery of the applicable Buyer Determined Revenue. In the event the Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such dispute on or prior to such forty-fifth (45th) day, (A) either the Buyer or Seller may require the other party to resolve such dispute by way of the Dispute Resolution Procedure by providing such other party written notice of such demand, and (B) payment of the 8(a) Migration Payment with respect to such Migrated work shall be suspended until the final resolution of the dispute. The actual awarded revenue value for the applicable 12-month period from any applicable Migrated work finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.7(c)(i) shall be referred to as the “Migrated Work Revenue.”

(ii) On or prior to the thirty-first (31st) day following the commencement of any Migrated work or, if there is a pending Dispute Resolution Procedure with respect to the Buyer Determined Revenue, within five (5) Business Days of the final determination of the Estimated Migrated Revenue with respect to the applicable Migrated work, the Buyer shall pay the Seller an amount (an “8(a) Migration Payment”) equal to the product of (A) the Migrated Work Revenue and (B) Seventy-Five Hundredths (.75).

(iii) For purposes of this Section 2.7, work under an 8(a) Contract shall be deemed to have been “Migrated” to an unrestricted Government Contract if (A) such 8(a) Contract is reclassified as or otherwise becomes an unrestricted Government Contract of the Company, (B) such 8(a) Contract is recompeted as an unrestricted government Contract, and such recompete is won by and awarded to the Company as the prime contractor, (C) work substantially similar to that set forth in the applicable 8(a) Contract’s statement of work is demonstrated by the Seller to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction to have been transferred to, and is intended to be performed by the Company under, an unrestricted Government Contract of the Company, or (D) any other work is demonstrated by the Seller to the Buyer’s satisfaction (determined in Buyer’s sole discretion) to have been transferred to, and is intended to be performed by the Company under, an unrestricted Government Contract of the Company in replacement of work under an 8(a) Contract.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the maximum aggregate amount that shall be paid to the Seller under this Section 2.7, including without the limitation the aggregate of the 2009 Earnout Payment, the 2010 Earnout Payment and any and all 8(a) Migration Payments, shall not exceed Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000). Any payments to be made by Buyer to

- 18 -

Seller under this Section 2.7 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the making of such payment.

(e) Covenants with respect to Earnout. From and after the Closing and through December 31, 2009 (or, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) below, until the termination or expiration of the period of performance remaining with respect to any 8(a) Contract and provided that the maximum earnout amount set forth in Section 2.7(c) above has not been paid to the Seller), the Buyer shall:

(i) Make reasonable efforts to permit the Company to achieve the earnout, consistent with the Buyer’s obligations under applicable Law as a publicly traded company;

(ii) Comply with its obligations set forth on Schedule 2.7(e)(ii);

(iii) Maintain a financial reporting system for the Company that will enable the determination of Anticipated 2009 Gross Margin and Anticipated 2010 Gross Margin; and

(iv) Not transfer the work performed by the Company for USMC or DHS to any other operating unit of Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or otherwise, and without limiting any other rights and privileges that the Buyer and the Company may have following the Closing, neither the Buyer nor the Company shall have any obligation to make any sale in respect of its products or services or enter into any agreement, contract, understanding or arrangement to make any sale in respect of its products or services if the Buyer or Company in good faith determines that it will not be able to earn what it believes to be a reasonable fee or profit from such sale.

2.8 Tax Treatment; Purchase Price Allocation. It is the intent of the Buyer, the Seller and the Company that the acquisition of the Interests hereunder by the Buyer from the Seller qualifies for and will be treated for tax purposes as the equivalent of an asset purchase. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, the Buyer and Seller shall endeavor in good faith to reach mutual agreement regarding the allocation of the consideration delivered hereunder for the assets purchased, which allocation shall be (a) documented in writing and (b) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (and any similar provision of Law, as appropriate); provided, that the Buyer and Seller agree that the allocation of the portion of the consideration to the Seller Noncompetition Agreement shall be such allocation (not to exceed $100,000) as determined by the independent valuation firm engaged by Buyer in connection with the allocation. The Buyer and Seller shall report, act and file Tax Returns (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594) in all respects and for all purposes consistent with the foregoing allocation, including as determined pursuant to the foregoing sentence. Neither the Buyer nor Seller shall take any position (whether in audits, Tax Returns or otherwise), which is inconsistent with such tax treatment and such allocation unless required to do so by applicable Law.

5.9 Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Set forth on Schedule 5.9(a) is a true and complete list of each deferred compensation, executive compensation, incentive compensation, phantom units plan or other ownership appreciation rights plan, equity purchase or other equity-based compensation plan, employment or consulting, severance or termination pay, holiday, vacation or other bonus plan or practice, hospitalization or other medical, life or other insurance, supplemental unemployment benefits, profit sharing, pension, or retirement plan, program, agreement, commitment or arrangement, and each other employee benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement, including each “employee benefit plan” as such term is defined under Section 3(3) of ERISA, maintained or contributed to or required to be contributed to by the Company for the benefit of any employee or terminated employee of the Company, or with respect to which the Company has any liability, whether direct or indirect, actual or contingent, whether formal or informal, and whether legally binding or not (collectively, the “Benefit Plans”).

(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 5.9(b), with respect to each Benefit Plan, there are no funded benefit obligations for which contributions have not been made or properly accrued and there are no unfunded benefit obligations that have not been accounted for by reserves, or otherwise properly footnoted in accordance with GAAP on the Financial Statements. The Company is not and has not in the past been a member of a “controlled group” for purposes of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code, nor does Company have any liability with respect to any collectively-bargained for plans, whether or not subject to the provisions of ERISA. No statement, either written or oral, has been made by the Company to any Person with regard to any Benefit Plan that was not in accordance with the Benefit Plan and that could have an adverse economic consequence to the Company or the Buyer.

(c) Each Benefit Plan is and has been operated at all times in material compliance with all applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Code. Each Benefit Plan which is intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code (i) has been determined by the IRS to be so qualified (or is based on a prototype plan which has received a favorable opinion letter) during the period from its adoption to the date of this Agreement and (ii) its related trust has similarly been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code or the Company has requested an initial favorable IRS determination of qualification and/or exemption within the period permitted by applicable Law. No fact exists which could adversely affect the qualified status of such Benefit Plans or the exempt status of such trusts. The preceding sentence does not apply to any deferred compensation plan or incentive compensation plan, which are not intended to be and are not “qualified” plans.

(d) With respect to each Benefit Plan which covers any current or former officer, director, consultant or employee (or beneficiary thereof) of the Company, the Seller has delivered or otherwise made available (or have caused the Company to have delivered or otherwise made available) to the Buyer accurate and complete copies, if applicable, of: (i) all Benefit Plan texts and agreements and related trust agreements or annuity contracts; (ii) all summary plan descriptions and material modifications thereto; (iii) the three (3) most recent Forms 5500, if applicable, including all schedules thereto; (iv) the most recent annual and periodic accounting of plan assets; (v) the recent determination letter received from the IRS; (vi) the most recent actuarial valuation; and (vii) all communications with any Governmental Authority in connection with any audit or other investigation by such Governmental Authority of any Benefit Plan.

(e) With respect to each Benefit Plan: (i) such Benefit Plan has been administered and enforced in all material respects in accordance with its terms, the Code and ERISA; (ii) no breach of fiduciary duty has occurred; (iii) no Claim is pending, or to the Knowledge of the Seller Parties,

- 25 -

threatened (other than routine claims for benefits arising in the ordinary course of administration); (iv) no prohibited transaction, as defined in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred, excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or administration exemption; and (v) all contributions and premiums due through the Closing Date have been made as required under ERISA or have been fully accrued on the Financial Statements.

(f) No Benefit Plan is a “defined benefit plan” (as defined in Section 414(j) of the Code), a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or a “multiple employer plan” (as described in Section 413(c) of the Code) or is otherwise subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. No Benefit Plan will become a multiple employer plan with respect to the Company immediately after the Closing Date. The Company does not maintain or contribute to or in any way directly or indirectly have any liability (whether contingent or otherwise) with respect to any “multiemployer plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(37) or 4001(a)(3) of ERISA. The Company does not currently maintain and has never maintained, and is not required currently and has never been required to contribute to or otherwise participate in, a multiple employer welfare arrangement or voluntary employees’ beneficiary association as defined in Section 501(c)(9) of the Code.

(g) There is no arrangement under any Benefit Plan with respect to any employee that would result in the payment of any amount that by operation of Sections 280G or 162(m) of the Code would not be deductible by the Company and no arrangement exists pursuant to which the Company or the Buyer will be required to “gross up” or otherwise compensate any person because of the imposition of any excise tax on a payment to such person.

The indemnifying party shall have the right, in its sole discretion and expense, to elect to defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such Claim with legal counsel of its own selection; provided, however, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Claim if the indemnifying party refuses to acknowledge fully the indemnifying party’s obligations under this Article 10 to the indemnified party (in the event any Damages are incurred by any Buyer Parties) or contests, in whole or in part, such obligations, and further provided, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of such Claim if: (i) the third party asserting the claim is a customer of the Buyer or the Company; (ii) an adverse judgment with respect to the Claim will establish a precedent materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Buyer and/or the Company; (iii) there is a conflict of interest between the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in the conduct of such defense; or (iv) such Claim is criminal in nature, could reasonably be expected to lead to criminal proceedings, or seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate, at its own expense, in the defense thereof through counsel of its own choice and shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assert any and all crossclaims or counterclaims it may have. The indemnified party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees), to at all times cooperate in all reasonable ways with, make their relevant files and records available for inspection and copying by, or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the indemnifying party (i) in its defense of any action for which indemnity is sought under this Article 10, and (ii) its prosecution of any related claim, cross-complaint, counterclaim or right of subrogation. In the event the indemnifying party fails to timely defend, contest or otherwise protect against any such Claim or if the indemnified party has the right to retain the defense of Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to defend, contest, assert crossclaims or counterclaims or otherwise protect against the same at the indemnifying party’s expense. No Claim subject hereto may be settled unless the indemnified party and the indemnifying party consent thereto, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

10.4 Limitations on Indemnification; Additional Indemnification Provisions.

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 10.4(a) and Section 10.4(b) below, (i) the maximum aggregate liability of the Seller Parties for Claims made pursuant to Section 10.2(a) shall be limited to an amount (the “Indemnification Cap”) equal to Four Million Seven Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,700,000), and (ii) no Buyer Party shall be entitled indemnification for Damages pursuant to Section 10.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Buyer Parties exceeds $300,000 (the “Indemnification Threshold”) after which the Seller Parties shall be liable for such Damages in excess of the Indemnification Threshold. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall not be subject to the Indemnification Threshold or the Indemnification Cap: (i) Claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) based on breaches of or inaccuracies in Section 5.11 (“Tax Matters”) or in any Fundamental Representation, (ii) Claims pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(ii), and (iii) Claims for intentional or willful breaches or fraud.

- 56 -

(b) The remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents, representatives, successors and assigns for any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered at Closing; provided; however, that nothing herein is intended to waive or otherwise limit any claims for Damages resulting or arising from fraudulent or willful misconduct or waive any equitable remedies to which a party may be entitled. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative, and the use of any one right or remedy provided by this Agreement by any party will not preclude or waive the right to use any or all other remedies provided by this Agreement.

(c) The right to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedy based on any representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement or any other Agreement Document will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant, or obligation. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, will not affect the right to indemnification, payment of Damages, or other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations unless specifically set forth in such waiver.

(d) The Buyer will have the right, subject to this Article 10, to set off any amounts payable to the Seller under this Agreement against any amounts payable to the Buyer Parties by a Seller Party under this Article 10.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, upon Closing, the Company shall cease to be a Seller Party and shall cease to have any indemnification obligations as a Seller Party hereunder and shall be treated as a Buyer Party, and the Seller Parties shall have no rights of recourse, whether for contribution or otherwise, against the Company for any payments the Seller Party may make, or may be obligated to make, under this Article 10 or any other section of this Agreement.

(f) Upon making an indemnity payment pursuant to this Agreement, the indemnifying party will, to the extent of such payment, be subrogated to all rights of the indemnified party against any third party in respect of the damages to which the payment related. Without limiting the generality of any other provision hereof, each such indemnified party and indemnifying party will duly execute upon request all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no party shall be entitled to indemnification or reimbursement under any provision of this Agreement for any amount to the extent such party or its Affiliate has been indemnified or reimbursed for such amount under any other provision of this Agreement, the Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, or any document executed in connection with this Agreement or otherwise.

(h) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law, all indemnification payments shall constitute adjustments to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes allocated to ordinary income items, and no party shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

11.2 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

11.3 Cooperation in Tax Matters. The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Buyer and the Seller for certain Tax matters after the Closing Date:

(a) The Company and Seller, in her capacity as sole member of the Company, at Seller’s cost and expense, shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end as of the Closing Date. The Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company

- 58 -

for the Tax periods which begin on or before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date. The Seller shall pay to the Buyer within fifteen (15) days after the date on which Taxes are paid with respect to such periods an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such taxable period ending on the Closing Date.

(b) In the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax which relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date shall (x) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (y) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be apportioned between the Buyer and the Seller using the same formulas as used to determine the Tax liability of the Buyer and the Seller with respect to such periods. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company

(c) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns of the Company or Seller, in her capacity as the sole member of the Company, pursuant to this Section 11.3 and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company for Tax periods before and after the Closing Date that could affect Tax periods after the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Company will be in control of and make all decisions regarding the resolution of any such audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company or Seller, in her capacity as the sole member of the Company, for Tax periods before and after the Closing Date that could affect Tax periods after the Closing Date. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Buyer, the Company and the Seller will (A) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Buyer or the Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective Tax periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other parties so request, the Buyer, the Company or the Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the requesting party to take possession of such books and records. The Buyer, the Company and the Seller will, upon request, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby)

11.4 Entire Agreement; Assignment; Failure of Certain Conditions. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto, by operation of Law or otherwise; provided, however, that the Buyer may assign any of its respective rights and obligations to any Affiliate of the Buyer but no such assignment shall relieve the Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment which does not comply with the provisions of this Section 11.4 shall be null and void.

11.8 Arbitration.

Such arbitration shall be under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA (“Rules”), except as otherwise set forth in this Section 11.8, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

(a) If any party asserts that there exists a Dispute, such party shall select one arbitrator and the other party shall select one arbitrator. If either party fails to make a selection, the AAA shall select one arbitrator on behalf of such party. The two arbitrators so selected will choose within twenty (20) days after their selection a third arbitrator (or, if they fail to make a choice, the AAA shall choose a third arbitrator). All three arbitrators shall be neutral arbitrators and subject to Rule 19 of the Rules.

(b) In making their determination, the arbitrators shall not have the authority to modify any term or provision of this Agreement. The decision of any two of the arbitrators shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The arbitrators shall award the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements, arbitrators’ fees and fees payable to the AAA, to the prevailing party as they see fit. The arbitrators shall deliver a written and reasoned award with respect to the dispute to each of the parties, who promptly shall act in accordance therewith.

(c) Pre-hearing discovery shall be limited to exchange or production of documents and other written information. The arbitrators shall conduct the arbitration so that a final award is made or rendered as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 120 days after the commencement of the arbitration nor later than twenty (20) days following the completion of the hearing, unless either period is reduced or extended by agreement of the parties, or by the arbitrators for cause.

(d) In any arbitration hereunder, the Seller shall be deemed, for procedural purposes, to be one party and the other party in the arbitration shall be deemed, for procedural purposes, to be the Buyer. Each of the Seller and the Buyer, if given due notice of the proceedings, shall be bound by the award in any arbitration hereunder, whether or not she or it chooses to participate in the arbitration.
