2.9 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) The adjustment to the Purchase Price with respect to Working Capital shall be determined, on a basis consistent with the calculation and methodologies set forth on Exhibit C, in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a good faith estimate, substantially in the form of and determined in accordance with Exhibit C, reasonably acceptable to Buyer, of Working Capital as of the Effective Time (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement”), together with the detailed work papers which support the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement. The Closing Payment shall be (A) decreased by the amount, if any, by which Working Capital as shown on the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement (the “Estimated Working Capital”) is less than the Target Working Capital, or (B) increased by the amount, if any, by which the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital.

(ii) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a statement of Working Capital as of the Effective Time, substantially in the form of and determined in accordance with Exhibit C (the “Closing Date Working Capital Statement”), together with reasonable documentation, which shall (x) set forth any adjustments to Estimated Working Capital as shown on the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement, and (y) be prepared from the books and records of the Business. The Seller and its independent public accountant (“Seller’s Accountant”) shall make available (a) all of their work papers and other relevant documents related to the Business in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement to Buyer and its independent public accountant (“Buyer’s Accountant”), and (b) upon reasonable request relevant persons who are knowledgeable of the matters required to prepare the Closing Date Working Capital Statement for reasonable inquiry by Buyer and Buyer’s Accountant.

(iii) If the Seller objects to any amounts reflected on the Closing Date Working Capital Statement, the Seller must, within thirty (30) days after the Seller’s receipt of the Closing Date Working Capital Statement, give written notice (the “Working Capital Dispute Notice”) to Buyer specifying in reasonable detail the objections of the Seller, including its alternative statement substantially in the form of and determined in accordance with Exhibit C of Working Capital as of the Effective Time. If the Seller fails to timely deliver a Working Capital Dispute Notice, Buyer’s determination of Working Capital as of

the Effective Time as set forth in the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties. Any disputes with respect to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be resolved pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 2.9(a)(iv).

(iv) If, within the objection period afforded to the Seller pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(iii), a Working Capital Dispute Notice is delivered by the Seller to Buyer, representatives of the Parties shall negotiate in good faith during the twenty (20) day period (the “Working Capital Resolution Period”) after the date of Buyer’s receipt of the Working Capital Dispute Notice to resolve any disputes. If the Parties are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Working Capital Resolution Period, then at any time thereafter, either Party may require that the disputes be submitted to Deloitte LLP (the “Independent Accountant”), which action shall be triggered by the requesting Party providing written notice to the other Party. The Independent Accountant shall act as an expert, and not an arbitrator, and shall be engaged to provide a final and conclusive resolution to all unresolved disputes specifically referred to it relating to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement within a reasonably prompt time frame after such engagement, which resolution shall be based on the provisions of this Agreement; provided, that if the Independent Accountant finds the provisions of this Agreement (including Exhibit C hereto) are not sufficient to resolve any issue or issues, the Independent Accountant shall rely upon GAAP as applied in the Financial Statements. Each Party agrees to execute any reasonable engagement letter requested by the Independent Accountant. The determination of the Independent Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties hereto, absent manifest error, and the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne based upon the degree to which the Independent Accountant accepts the respective positions of the Parties. For example, if it is Buyer’s position that the adjustment owed is $300, the Seller’s position that the adjustment owed is $100 and the Independent Accountant’s finding that the adjustment owed is $150, then Buyer shall pay 75% (300-150 / 300-100) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses and Seller shall pay 25% (150-100 / 300-100) of the Independent Accountant’s fees and expenses. The Parties agree that the procedure set forth in this Section 2.9(a) for resolving disputes relating to the Closing Date Working Capital Statement shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for resolving such disputes; provided, however, that the Parties agree that judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accountant in any court having jurisdiction over the Party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(v) Upon the final, binding and conclusive determination of Working Capital as of the Effective Time, whether by agreement between the Seller and Buyer or as provided in Section 2.9(a)(iii) or Section 2.9(a)(iv) (such final, binding and conclusive amount, “Final Working Capital”), the Parties shall determine the amount (the “Final Closing Payment”) equal to the Closing Payment (prior to any adjustment pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(i)) minus, if applicable (A) the amount by which Final Working Capital is less than the Estimated Working Capital, or plus, if applicable, (B) the amount by which Final Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Working Capital.

(vi) If the Final Closing Payment is greater than the Adjusted Closing Payment, then, on or before the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the determination of Final Working Capital, Buyer shall pay to the Seller the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If the Final Closing Payment is less than the Adjusted Closing Payment, then, on or before the fifth (5^th) Business Day after the determination of Final Working Capital, the Seller shall pay to Buyer the amount of such difference by wire transfer of immediately available funds. If the Final Closing Payment equals the Adjusted Closing Payment, then neither Party shall be obligated to make any payment to the other Party under this Section 2.9(vi). If Buyer or the Seller fails to pay when due any amount payable under this Section 2.9(vi), then Buyer or the Seller, as the case may be, shall be obligated to and shall reimburse the other Party for all costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with the collection of such overdue amount and the enforcement by the other Party of its rights under this Section 2.9(vi). Any amounts due from one Party to the other and not timely paid shall in addition bear interest at an annual rate of 6%, compounded monthly and based on a 365 day year.

2.10 Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a) Buyer and Seller agree that for purposes of calculating the initial amount of any transfer Tax imposed by the state of South Carolina in connection with this Agreement the allocation of Purchase Price (i) to the Tangible Personal Property shall be equivalent to the fair value of such Tangible Personal Property as set forth in Schedule 2.1(a) and (ii) to the Inventory, which is being purchased for resale, shall be equivalent to the fair values therefor as set forth on the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement. Following the determination of the Final Working Capital, for purposes of calculating the final amount of any transfer Tax imposed by the state of South Carolina in connection with this Agreement the allocation of Purchase Price to the Tangible Personal Property and Inventory shall be equivalent to the fair values therefor as reflected in the calculation of Final Working Capital, if any such fair values are different than the fair value determined pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 2.10(a). Buyer and Seller will be liable for any such Transfer Taxes as provided in Section 2.12.

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the determination of the Final Working Capital, Buyer shall provide to Seller a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price among the asset classes (the “Allocation Schedule”) determined in accordance with section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, and the principles established on Schedule 2.10. The Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on the Parties unless, within thirty (30) days after delivery thereof, Seller delivers a written notice to the Buyer of its reasonable objections to the Allocation Schedule. If Seller does not object to the Allocation Schedule within the applicable period or the Parties otherwise come to an agreement with respect to all such objections, such Allocation Schedule shall be final and binding on the Parties (the “Final Allocation Schedule”). The Parties agree to consult and resolve in good faith any such objections. If the Parties are not able to agree upon the Allocation Schedule, then the Allocation Schedule shall be determined by the Independent Accountant, based upon the relative fair market value of the Assets. The cost of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by the Parties. The Parties and their Affiliates agree that each will (i) be bound by the Final Allocation Schedule for the purposes of determining any Taxes, (ii)

report for Tax purposes the transactions consummated pursuant to this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule, (iii) timely file a copy of Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 with its appropriate federal and other Tax Returns, and (iv) not take any Tax position that is inconsistent with the Final Allocation Schedule on any applicable Tax Return or in any proceeding before any taxing authority. In the event that the Final Allocation Schedule is disputed by any taxing authority, the Party receiving notice of such dispute will promptly notify the other Parties, and the Parties will consult in good faith how to resolve such dispute in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule. The Final Allocation Schedule shall be adjusted in accordance with the determination of the Final Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allocation of Purchase Price to the Tangible Personal Property and Inventory set forth in the Final Allocation Schedule shall be the respective amounts set forth in Section 2.10(a).

2.11 Transfer of Assets and Assumed Liabilities. In the event that the legal interest in any of the Assets, Assumed Contracts or Assumed Liabilities to be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed pursuant to this Agreement, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, cannot be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed hereunder as of the Effective Time because any waiting or notice period has not expired or any consents or approvals required for such transfer have not been obtained or waived, then the legal interest in the Assets, Assumed Contracts or Assumed Liabilities shall not be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed. The Seller and the Buyer shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to cooperate in obtaining such consents or approvals as may be necessary to complete such transfers as soon as practicable. If any such consent shall not be obtained, the Seller shall provide for Buyer the benefits intended to be assigned to Buyer under the relevant Assets or Assumed Contracts and the obligations intended to be transferred under the Assumed Liabilities, including enforcement at the cost and for the account of Buyer of any and all rights of the Seller against the other party thereto arising out of the breach thereof by such other party or otherwise. Buyer agrees that to the extent that Buyer proceeds in consummating the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.11 are necessary that, (i) no reduction of the Purchase Price shall occur relating to the operation of this Section 2.11, (ii) Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the conditions precedent under Section 9.1 related to the foregoing, and (iii) Buyer shall not be entitled to any recovery based on the breach of any representation or warranty or covenant (subject to compliance with this Section 2.11 and Section 7.1) of the Seller which may be implicated by proceeding under this Section 2.11.

2.12 Transfer Taxes.Buyer and Seller will each be liable for one-half of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, value-added, gross receipts, stamp, occupation, property, ad valorem, excise, registration or other similar Transfer Taxes (including all applicable real estate Transfer Taxes) and related fees (including any penalties, interest, and additions to Taxes) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all recording or filing fees, notarial fees and other similar costs of Closing, that may be imposed, payable, collectible or incurred. Buyer and Seller will each be entitled to one-half of any Tax refund or credit of any amount paid in satisfaction of its respective obligation under the preceding sentence. The Parties shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of any transfer Tax Return, including any claim for refund or amended Tax Return, as provided in Section 7.2. Each of Buyer and the Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to avail itself of any available exemptions from any such Transfer Taxes and to cooperate with the other party to mitigate the amount of such Transfer

Tax, including without limitation, by electronic transmittal of Assets, in providing any information and documentation that may be necessary to obtain such exemptions and in filing any claim for refund or amended Tax Return to the extent that a Tax refund would result thereby.

A copy of each of the Employee Plans/Agreements has been furnished or made available to Buyer, along with related summary plan descriptions, any determination or opinion letter issued to the Seller or an ERISA Affiliate with respect to any of the Employee Plans/Agreements. No Employee Plan/Agreement is a “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 4001 of ERISA), and the Seller has never contributed nor been obligated to contribute to any such multiemployer plan. The Seller has furnished Buyer with respect to each Employee Plan/Agreement the three most recent annual reports prepared in connection therewith (Form 5500 including all schedules thereto) or, if an Employee Plan/Agreement has been in existence for less than two (2) years, the annual report prepared for each

(b) Each Employee Plan/Agreement that is an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of section 3(2) of ERISA that is intended to be a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter or opinion letter (a copy of which has been provided to Buyer), each related trust has been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and nothing has occurred that could cause the loss of such qualification or exemption.

(c) Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or has ever maintained, contributes or has ever contributed to or is or has ever been obligated to contribute to, any Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code. No condition exists that presents a risk to Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring a Liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Employee Plan/Agreement.

Neither Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate is currently or has ever been required to contribute to any Plan that is a “multiemployer plan” within the meaning of section 3(37) of ERISA.

(d) There have been no “prohibited transactions” within the meaning of Section 406 or 407 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code for which a statutory or administrative exemption does not exist with respect to any Employee Plan/Agreement.

(e) Each Employee Plan/Agreement has been maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements prescribed by any and all applicable Laws, including but not limited to ERISA and the Code.

(b) As of the Closing, none of the customers or suppliers identified on Schedule 3.22(a) has canceled or otherwise terminated any contract with Seller relevant to the Business, or communicated in writing an intention to materially reduce its purchases or otherwise materially modify its present price or terms of payment, except for any changes resulting from computer hardware purchase cycles in the Ordinary Course of Business.

3.23 Export Controls. The Seller has at all times been in material compliance with all Law relating to export control and trade embargoes, including all antiboycott prohibitions contained in 50 U.S.C. 2401, et. seq.

and a qualified financial advisor) that the unsolicited Acquisition Proposal sets forth the principal terms and conditions of a transaction that if consummated would be fair to the stockholders of Seller from a financial point of view, and is reasonably capable of being completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal, (C) determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and a qualified financial advisor) that Seller’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Acquisition Proposal would be materially impaired by the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (D) determines that the failure to take any of the above actions would reasonably be determined to be a breach of its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Seller under Ohio Law; provided, however, that the Seller shall promptly provide to Buyer any material non-public information concerning the Seller or any of its Affiliates that is provided to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal or its Representatives which was not previously provided to Buyer.

(d) If the Seller Board determines to authorize the Seller to enter into a Third Party Acquisition Agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal as provided in the second sentence of Section 6.7(c), the Seller may only enter into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement (i) at a time that is after the end of the fifth (5th) Business Day following Buyer’s receipt of written notice from the Seller (a “Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice”) advising the Buyer that the Seller Board intends to authorize the Seller to enter into such Third Party Acquisition Agreement, which notice shall contain a copy of the Acquisition Proposal to which such Third Party Acquisition Agreement relates and other material transaction documents; provided, that any material amendment to or modification of the terms of such Acquisition Proposal after the initial Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice shall require a new Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice and five (5) additional Business Days plus the remaining days, if any, from the five (5) Business Day period referred to above, it being understood that any change in the purchase price or form of consideration in such Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a material amendment or modification) affording Buyer an opportunity to make an alternative proposal, and (ii) if prior to the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period, Buyer does not make a proposal to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement that the Seller Board determines in good faith (after consultation with a qualified financial advisors and outside legal counsel) to be at least as favorable as the Acquisition Proposal after giving effect to, among other things, the payment of the Breakup Fee and all the changes proposed by Buyer in response to the Seller Adverse Recommendation Notice or otherwise.

(i) No provision of this Agreement shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any person or organization, including without limitation employees or former employees (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller, unions or other representatives of such employees or former employees, or trustees, administrators, participants, or beneficiaries of any Plan, and no provision of this Agreement shall create such third-party beneficiary rights in any such person or organization in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Plan, including the currently existing Employee Plans/Agreements. No provision in this Agreement is intended to or shall be deemed to amend, modify, or establish any Plan that is currently or may in the future be sponsored, maintained, or contributed to by the Buyer or its Affiliates.

(j) Nothing in this Section 8.1 shall be construed to limit the right of Buyer or any of its subsidiaries to amend or terminate any plan, to the extent such amendment or termination is permitted by the terms of the applicable plan.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties and Covenants.

(a) All representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in ARTICLE III and of Buyer set forth in ARTICLE IV shall survive the Closing and shall remain in effect for a period of sixteen (16) months after the Closing Date and shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing shall not apply to representations and warranties under Section 3.1(Organization), Section 3.2(Authorization), the first sentence of Section 3.5 (Title to Assets), Section 3.6(a) (Sufficiency of Assets), Section 3.9 (Brokers), and Section 3.26 (No Undisclosed Liabilities) (collectively, “Fundamental Representations”), which shall survive the Closing for the full period under any applicable statute of limitations (including any waiver, extension or mitigation thereof) plus one sixty (60) days and (ii) Section 3.11(Taxes) and Section 3.21(ERISA), which shall survive the Closing until the termination of the applicable statute of limitations (including any waiver, extension or mitigation thereof) plus sixty (60) days, and then each of (i) and (ii) shall thereupon terminate and be of no further force and effect.

(b) The period for which a representation or warranty, covenant or agreement survives the Closing as provided in this Agreement is referred to herein as the “Applicable Survival Period”; provided, however, that this shall not prohibit any claim for Losses pursuant to Section 10.2 after such Applicable Survival Period with respect to Losses as to which the Seller has received written notice from Buyer in accordance with this ARTICLE X prior to the expiration of such Applicable Survival Period. Buyer acknowledges that the Seller has not made and is not making any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except as provided within this Agreement, and that Buyer is not relying and has not

relied on any representations or warranties whatsoever regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, express or implied, except for the representations and warranties in this Agreement.

10.2 Indemnification.

(a) The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer and its respective shareholders, members, managers, directors, officers, employees, subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors, assigns and agents of each of them (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from, against and in respect of, and waive any claim for contribution or indemnity with respect to, any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, obligations, expenses or costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any of them to the extent resulting from or arising out of:

(i) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE III;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Seller contained in this Agreement;

(iii) the ownership, possession and operation of the Excluded Assets; and

(iv) the Retained Liabilities.

(b) The Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Seller and their respective members, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates, successors, assigns and agents of each of them (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from, against and in respect of, and waive any claim for contribution or indemnity with respect to, any and all Losses incurred by any of them to the extent resulting from or arising out of, or alleged to result from or arise out of:

(i) any breach of the representations and warranties contained in ARTICLE IV;

(ii) any breach of any of the covenants or obligations of Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(iii) the Assumed Liabilities.

10.3 Participation in Litigation. In the event any suit or other proceeding is initiated against a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party (each, an “Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) with respect to which the Indemnified Party alleges that the other Party is or may be obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such suit or proceeding, at its expense and by counsel of their choosing; provided that (a) such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (b) the Indemnified Party shall retain primary control over such suit or proceeding. Each Party’s counsel shall be afforded access to all information pertinent to the suit or proceeding in question. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle or

otherwise compromise any such suit or proceeding; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of such settlement or compromise, such settlement or compromise involves only the payment of money and provides a complete release of Liability of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall not have provided notice of objection (acting reasonably) thereto within 48 hours of receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice; provided further, that the Indemnified Party may proceed with such settlement or compromise if the Indemnifying Party fails to provide a timely objection and/or if consent thereto is withheld unreasonably. Any settlement or compromise requiring action other than the payment of money or that does not provide a release of Liability shall require the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

10.4 Claims Procedure. In the event from time to time a Party seeks indemnification on behalf of an Indemnified Party, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the matter, specifying in detail the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount, to the extent known, of the claim asserted; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby materially prejudiced. Unless disputed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall pay any amount to be indemnified hereunder not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the amount to be indemnified.

10.5 Purchase Price Adjustment. With respect to any indemnity payment under this ARTICLE X, the Parties agree to treat, to the extent permitted by Law, all such payments as an adjustment to the Final Purchase Price.

10.6 Limitation on Losses. The provisions for indemnity under Section 10.2(a)(i) shall be effective only when:

(a) the claim for indemnification is brought within the Applicable Survival Period;

(b) the Losses related to any individual event or fact, or series of related events or facts, exceed an amount equal to $15,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Covered Losses”); provided, however, all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of a breach of the Fundamental Representations, fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall not be subject to the requirement that such Losses exceed the Covered Losses threshold;

(c) such Covered Losses for which indemnification is sought exceed $300,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Threshold”), in which case a Buyer Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification of all of its Losses in excess of the Threshold; provided, however, all Losses suffered or incurred as a result of a breach of the Fundamental Representations, fraud or intentional misrepresentation shall not be subject to the requirement that such Losses exceed the Threshold. For the avoidance of doubt, any Losses that do not exceed the Covered Losses amount, other than any such Losses suffered or incurred as a result of a breach of the Fundamental Representations, fraud or intentional misrepresentation, shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether the Threshold has been met; and

(d) except with respect to any Losses related to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, a breach of any Fundamental Representation, or an intentional breach of any covenant or obligation of the Seller contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the cumulative indemnification obligation of Seller under this ARTICLE X exceed an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%)of the Closing Payment, in the aggregate.

(e) In addition, for purposes of determining the amount of Loss under this ARTICLE X, all of the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in ARTICLE III of this Agreement, and of Buyer set forth in ARTICLE IV of this Agreement, as the case may be, shall be read and interpreted without giving effect to any “materiality” qualifiers.

10.7 Exclusive Remedies. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the indemnification rights set forth in this ARTICLE X, all of which are subject to the terms, limitations, and restrictions of this ARTICLE X, shall be the exclusive remedy after Closing for monetary damages sustained as a result of a breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement under this Agreement, except that the foregoing shall not apply to any remedies for monetary damages that an Indemnified Party may have for intentional misrepresentation, fraud or intentional acts. In connection with the seeking of any non-monetary equitable relief, each of the Parties acknowledge and agree that the other Parties hereto 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. Accordingly, in addition, such limitations set forth in this ARTICLE X shall not impair the rights of any of the Parties: (a) to seek non-monetary equitable relief, including (without limitation) specific performance or injunctive relief to redress any default or breach of this Agreement, including for the provisions of ARTICLE V and ARTICLE VII; or (b) to seek enforcement, collection, damages, or such non-monetary equitable relief to redress any default or breach of any Related Agreement to be delivered at Closing hereunder.

10.8 Certain Damages. In no event shall any Party be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of, and in no event shall “Losses” for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to include (a) (i) consequential, incidental or indirect damages, (ii) lost profits or (iii) punitive, special or exemplary damages (except, in each case, to the extent paid to a third party), or (b) with respect to a claim made by the Buyer for indemnification under this ARTICLE X, any Loss, Liability, damage or expense to the extent the same amount of such Loss, Liability, damage or expense was included in the calculation of Final Working Capital.

10.9 Determination of Losses. All indemnification payments under this ARTICLE X shall be paid to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as the case may be, (a) net of any insurance coverage actually paid to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (b) net of any Tax benefits that are actually realized by the Indemnified Party.

10.10 Mitigation. Each Party shall take all commercially reasonable steps to mitigate any of its Losses (including, to the extent consistent with sound business judgment, incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach which gives rise to the Losses) upon becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to, or does, give rise thereto. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any claim or liability with respect to which

one Party is obligated to indemnify the other Party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.

11.2 Termination.

(a) This Agreement may only be terminated:

(i) by mutual written consent of the Seller and Buyer;

(ii) by the Seller or Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before August 15, 2013; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2(a)(ii) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement resulted in the failure of the transaction to be so consummated by such date;

(iii) by the Seller, at any time after the date hereof and in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of Section 6.7, if the Seller Board shall have approved, and the Seller has concurrently with such termination entered into, a Third Party Acquisition Agreement providing for the implementation of the transactions contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal;

(iv) by the Seller or Buyer, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of either Party set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of such Party shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in ARTICLE IX of this Agreement, as applicable, would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue; provided, that if such breach is curable by such Party prior to the Closing Date, then the non-breaching Party may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2(a)(iv) for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from non-breaching Party to the breaching Party of such breach, so long as the breaching Party continues to use its best efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that the non-breaching Party may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.2(a)(iv) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by the breaching Party is cured during such thirty (30) day period);

(v) by the Seller or Buyer, upon the issuance of any final, nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction precluding the consummation of the Closing or the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements (by injunction or otherwise), provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 11.2(a)(v) shall not be available to a Party if the issuance of such

final, nonappealable order was primarily due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement; or

(vi) by Buyer if the Seller entered into any Acquisition Proposal or the Seller or the Seller Board formally resolved or publicly authorized or proposed to take any of the foregoing actions.

(b) In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Sections 11.2(a)(i), (ii), (iv) or (v), written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party or Parties, specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void (other than Section 6.4, this ARTICLE XI and the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which shall survive termination of this Agreement at any time) and there shall be no liability as a result thereof on the part of any Party hereto or their respective Affiliates, except that notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall relieve any Party from liability for fraud, bad faith or any intentional breach of this Agreement.

(c) If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iii) or (vi), then the Seller shall (i) pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to $2,000,000.00 (the “Breakup Fee”), and (ii) reimburse Buyer for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket transaction expenses in an amount not to exceed $1,250,000.00 (the “Buyer Expenses”), in each case within five (5) Business Days after such termination. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Breakup Fee and the Buyer Expenses constitute liquidated damages and is not a penalty and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy, including on account of punitive damages, for recovery by Buyer in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.2(a)(iii) or (vi), and in no event shall the Seller be subject to any liability in excess of the sum of the Breakup Fee and the Buyer Expenses for any or all Losses relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in no such event shall Buyer seek equitable relief or seek to recover any money damages in excess of such amount from the Seller if Buyer has been paid the Breakup Fee and the Buyer Expenses.

11.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Related Agreements (which include the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto) embody the entire agreements and understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings relative to such subject matter.

This Agreement and the various rights and obligations arising hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective successors, heirs, devisees, legatees, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests, or obligations hereunder shall be transferred, delegated, or assigned (by operation of Law or otherwise) by Buyer without the prior written consent of the Seller, or by the Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided, however, that (a) Buyer may assign this Agreement (in whole but not in part) to any of its Affiliates, provided that no such assignment shall relieve Buyer from its obligations hereunder, and (b) Buyer and its Affiliates shall be permitted to collaterally assign their respective rights hereunder to any lender or lenders providing financing to Buyer or any of its Affiliates (including any agent for any such lender or lenders) or to any assignee or assignees of such lender, lenders or agent.

11.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in multiple counterparts and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
