ARTICLE 2

THE MERGER

Section 2.01. The Merger. At the Effective Time, Merger Subsidiary shall be merged (the “Merger”) with and into the Company in accordance with Delaware Law, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Subsidiary shall cease, and the Company shall be the surviving company (the “Surviving Company”).

(a) Subject to the provisions of Article 11, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ as soon as possible, but in any event no later than two Business Days after the date the conditions set forth in Article 11 (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permissible, waiver of those conditions at the Closing) have been satisfied or, to the extent permissible, waived by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of such conditions, or at such other place, at such other time or on such other date as Parent and the Company may mutually agree (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be deemed to have occurred effective as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date.

(b) At the Closing, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall file a certificate of merger with the Delaware Secretary of State and make all other filings or recordings required by Delaware Law in connection with the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time (the “Effective Time”) as the certificate of merger is duly filed with the Delaware Secretary of State (or at such later time as may be specified in the certificate of merger).

(c) At Closing, AIT shall pay in full, or cause to be paid in full with a portion of the Merger Consideration, the Debt Pay-Off Amount in accordance with the Pay-Off Letters.

(d) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities of the Company and Merger Subsidiary, all as provided under Delaware Law.

Section 2.02. Conversion of Company Interest. At the Effective Time:

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Membership Interests held by AIT outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, which comprise all of the outstanding Membership Interests in the Company, shall be converted into the right to receive (i) the Stock Consideration plus (ii) the Cash Consideration. As of the Effective Time, all Membership Interests shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration and any cash in lieu of any fractional share of Parent Stock pursuant to Section 2.05, in each case to be issued or paid in accordance with Section 2.03, without interest.

(b) The membership interests of Merger Subsidiary outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become 100% of the membership interests in the Surviving Company with the same rights, powers and privileges as the membership interests so converted and which membership interests shall constitute the only membership interests of the Surviving Company. In accordance with Section 18-301(b)(3) of Delaware Law, the member of Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time shall hereby be admitted to the Surviving Company as the sole member of the Surviving Company upon the Effective Time, and upon the Effective Time the member of Merger Subsidiary shall be the holder of 100% of the membership interests of the Surviving Company. Concurrently therewith, AIT shall cease to be a member of the Company and shall not be deemed a member of the Surviving Company, and the Company shall continue as the Surviving Company without dissolution.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that an amount equal to the Escrow Cash Holdback plus the Closing Adjustment Holdback shall be deducted from the Cash Consideration payable to AIT pursuant to this Article 2, and a number of shares of Parent Stock equal to the Escrow Stock Holdback shall be deducted from the Stock Consideration payable to AIT pursuant to this Article 2. The Escrow Holdback and the Closing Adjustment Holdback shall be payable only (x) upon release from the Escrow Account in accordance with this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and (y) to the extent not reduced by adjustments pursuant to Section 2.09 and indemnification payments pursuant to Article 12.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that AIT may direct Parent to pay all or a portion of the Cash Consideration to one or more lenders or creditors of the Outstanding Debt by wire transfer on the Closing Date and any such amount so paid shall nevertheless be deemed paid to AIT for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 2.03. Payment.

(a) Subject to the foregoing, Parent shall deliver, at Closing, the Merger Consideration in respect of the Membership Interests, as follows:

(i) a certificate (the “Parent Stock Certificate”), registered in the name of AIT, representing the number of whole shares of Parent Stock that AIT has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(i) (less the Escrow Stock Holdback, the certificate for which Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, pursuant to Section 2.10); and

(ii) the aggregate Cash Consideration that AIT has the right to receive pursuant to Section 2.02(a)(ii), as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.07 (less the Escrow Cash Holdback and the Closing Adjustment Holdback, which Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 2.10, less any amounts deducted and paid to the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 11.02(a) hereof).

Until Closing, such Membership Interests shall represent after the Effective Time for all purposes only the right to receive the Merger Consideration.

Section 2.04. Adjustments. If, during the period between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, any change in the outstanding Membership Interests in the Company or the capital stock of Parent shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend thereon with a record date during such period, but excluding any change that results from any exercise of options to purchase shares of Parent’s common stock granted under Parent’s stock option or compensation plans or arrangements, or any public offering of common stock or convertible securities by Parent for cash proceeds, the Merger Consideration and any other amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately and correspondingly adjusted.

Section 2.05. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Parent Stock shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional shares of Parent Stock that AIT would otherwise be entitled to receive as a result of the Merger shall be aggregated and if a fractional share results from such aggregation, AIT shall be entitled to receive, in lieu thereof, an amount in cash without interest determined by multiplying the closing sale price of a share of Parent Stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time by the fraction of a share of Parent Stock to which AIT would otherwise have been entitled.

Section 2.06. Withholding Rights. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, each of the Surviving Company, Parent and the

Escrow Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign tax law. If the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be, so withholds amounts and duly pays over such amounts to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Membership Interests in respect of which the Surviving Company or Parent, as the case may be, made such deduction and withholding.

Section 2.07. Initial Purchase Price Adjustments. The Company will cause to be delivered to Parent, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, (i) an estimated statement setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Closing Adjustment (the “Estimated Closing Adjustment”), and (ii) a certificate as to the preparation of the Estimated Closing Adjustment executed by the principal financial officer of the Company.

(a) The Cash Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

(i) if the Estimated Closing Adjustment is less than $0, the Cash Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Adjustment (subject to the potential true up set forth in Section 2.09 below); and

(ii) if the Estimated Closing Adjustment is greater than $0, the Cash Consideration shall be increased by an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Adjustment (subject to the potential true up set forth in Section 2.09 below).

Section 2.08. Closing Balance Sheet.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent will cause to be prepared, in a manner consistent with the Company’s accounting policies and practices as applied in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements, and delivered to AIT the Closing Balance Sheet, and a certificate based on such Closing Balance Sheet setting forth Parent’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment, executed by the principal financial officer of the Parent (the “Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate”).

(b) If AIT disagrees with Parent’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment set forth in the Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(a), AIT may, within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate, deliver a notice to Parent disagreeing with such calculation and setting forth AIT’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment (the “Dispute Notice”). The Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which AIT disagrees and the basis for such

disagreement, and AIT shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(a).

(c) If a Dispute Notice shall be delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b), Parent and AIT shall, during the 30 days following such delivery, use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine, as may be required, the amount of the Final Closing Adjustment, which amount shall not be less than the amount set forth in the Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or more than the amount set forth in the Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b). If, during such period, Parent and AIT are unable to reach such agreement, they shall promptly thereafter (and not later than 15 days thereafter) retain a firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Parent and AIT (who shall not have any material relationship with Parent, AIT or the AIT Members) (the “Designated Accounting Firm”), promptly to review and resolve the disputed items and amounts of Closing Adjustment. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Designated Accounting Firm: (i) the Designated Accounting Firm shall determine the Closing Adjustment in a manner consistent with the Company’s accounting policies and practices as applied in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements, within 30 days of the referral of the dispute to the Designated Accounting Firm; (ii) the Designated Accounting Firm shall consider only those items or amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet or the Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate as to which AIT has disagreed; (iii) each of Parent and AIT shall have a reasonable opportunity to confer or meet with the Designated Accounting Firm to provide its views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Closing Adjustment; provided, that no meetings, discussions or communications shall occur with the Designated Accounting Firm except in the presence of both Parent and AIT; (iv) copies of all documents and information provided to, and correspondence with, the Designated Accounting Firm by either Parent or AIT shall be provided simultaneously to the other party; (v) upon making its final determination of the Closing Adjustment, the Designated Accounting Firm shall deliver a copy of its calculations to Parent and AIT; and (vi) the determination of the Closing Adjustment made by the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on Parent and AIT for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error. The costs of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be borne by Parent if the difference between the Final Closing Adjustment and Parent’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(a) is greater than the difference between the Final Closing Adjustment and AIT’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b), and by AIT if the first such difference is less than the second such difference and otherwise equally by Parent and AIT.

(d) Parent and the Company agree that they will, and agree to direct their respective independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the

preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Adjustment and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 2.08, including without limitation, the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

Section 2.09. Adjustment of Merger Consideration.

(a) “Final Closing Adjustment” means the Closing Adjustment if no Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b); or if a Dispute Notice is duly delivered, as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.08(c); provided that, in no event shall the Final Closing Adjustment be less than Parent’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment set forth in the Parent Closing Adjustment Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(a) or more than AIT’s calculation of the Closing Adjustment set forth in the Dispute Notice delivered pursuant to Section 2.08(b).

(b) If the Final Closing Adjustment is greater than the Estimated Closing Adjustment, Parent shall owe to AIT an amount equal to the excess of the Final Closing Adjustment over the Estimated Closing Adjustment. If the Final Closing Adjustment is less than the Estimated Closing Adjustment, AIT shall owe Parent an amount equal to the excess of the Estimated Closing Adjustment over the Final Closing Adjustment (such amount described in this Section 2.09(b), the “Final Closing Adjustment Payment”).

(i) If Parent owes the Final Closing Adjustment Payment to AIT, then AIT shall be entitled to withdraw from the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Closing Adjustment Holdback and Parent shall pay to AIT an amount in cash equal to the Final Closing Adjustment Payment within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Payment.

(ii) If AIT owes the Final Closing Adjustment Payment to Parent, then:

(A) if the Final Closing Adjustment Payment is equal to or less than the Closing Adjustment Holdback, Parent shall withdraw from the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Final Closing Adjustment Payment, and the excess of the Closing Adjustment Holdback, if any, over the Final Closing Adjustment Payment shall be distributed from the Escrow Account to AIT; and

(B) if the Final Closing Adjustment Payment exceeds the Closing Adjustment Holdback (such excess, the “Shortfall”), then Parent shall be entitled to, at its option and if not previously paid by AIT: (1) withdraw from the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Closing Adjustment Holdback; (2) at Parent’s

option, withdraw from the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to all or any portion of the Escrow Cash Holdback, up to the Shortfall, and (3) require AIT to, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of notice of the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Payment, (A) pay to Parent an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall, if any, that is not satisfied from the Escrow Account, and (B) deposit into the Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Shortfall, if any, that was satisfied by release to Parent of the Escrow Cash Holdback. Such amounts paid by AIT to replenish the Escrow Cash Holdback shall be treated as Escrow Cash Holdback for all purposes under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

With respect to any payment to Parent or AIT in connection with adjustments to the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.09, AIT and Parent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, within two (2) Business Days following the determination of the Final Closing Adjustment Payment, a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent to make such payment to Parent or AIT, as the case may be, from the Escrow Amount.

Section 2.10. Escrow.

(a) Prior to or simultaneously with the Effective Time, AIT and Parent shall enter into an escrow agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, NA (the “Escrow Agent”) substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”). At the Effective Time, Parent shall withhold from the Merger Consideration and deposit with the Escrow Agent an amount in cash equal to the Escrow Cash Holdback plus the Closing Adjustment Holdback and one or more certificates representing the Escrow Stock Holdback (together, the “Escrow Fund”), to be held in an account (the “Escrow Account”) governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and managed by the Escrow Agent.

(b) The Escrow Fund shall constitute security solely for (i) adjustments to the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.09 and (ii) the indemnification obligations of AIT pursuant to Article 12, and shall be held in and distributed from the Escrow Account in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that any amount of the Closing Adjustment Holdback remaining in the Escrow Account following either (i) the payment to Parent of the Final Closing Adjustment Payment pursuant to Section 2.09, or (ii) the final determination pursuant to Section 2.09 that no such Final Closing Adjustment Payment is owed to Parent, shall be released to AIT subject to this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall also provide that any amount of the Escrow Holdback remaining in the Escrow Account, and not the subject of a

claim duly and timely made in accordance with Article 12 hereof, on the date that is fifteen (15) months following the Closing shall be released to AIT subject to this Agreement, including Section 12.01 hereof, and the Escrow Agreement.

(a) Within 120 days after the Closing, Parent shall deliver to AIT a statement (the “Allocation Statement”), allocating the Merger Consideration among the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code.

(b) All Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any real property transfer Tax and any similar Tax) shall be borne equally by Parent and AIT, and Parent will file all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such Taxes, and, if required by applicable law, AIT will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns; provided that any Transfer Taxes imposed with respect to the Disposal shall be borne by AIT. The costs and expenses associated with the preparation and filing of such Tax Returns shall be borne equally by Parent and AIT.

Section 10.03. Tax Cooperation.

For purposes of the determination of the Covered Tax described in Clauses (A) of the definition thereof in respect of a Tax Period that commences on or before but ends after the Closing Date, (x) in the case of any Taxes other than gross receipts, sales or use Taxes and Taxes based upon or related to income, the definition of Covered Tax shall be deemed to include 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 and including 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 and any gross receipts, sales or use Tax, the definition of Covered Tax shall be deemed to include the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on and included the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the allocation set forth in the foregoing clause (y) shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 10.05. Tax Claims. Parent agrees to give prompt notice to AIT of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 12.02(a)(ii) (a “Tax Claim”).

Parent shall not settle any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder without the consent of AIT, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless AIT elects not to assume such defense. AIT shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel employed by Parent for any period during which AIT has not assumed the defense thereof. Whether or not AIT chooses to defend or prosecute any claim, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

Section 10.06. Certain Disputes. Disputes that arise under this Article 10 and are not resolved by mutual agreement within 30 days shall be resolved by a nationally recognized expert in the relevant area with no material relationship with Parent or AIT or their Affiliates (the “Referee”), chosen and mutually acceptable to both Parent and AIT within five days of the date on which the need to choose the Referee arises. The Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 30 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. The costs, fees and expenses of the Referee shall be borne equally by Parent and AIT.

(b) AIT shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel for such defense, in each case at its own expense; provided that prior to assuming control of such defense, AIT must (i) acknowledge that it would have an indemnity obligation for the Damages resulting from such Third Party Claim as provided under this Article and (ii) furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence that AIT has adequate resources to defend the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnity obligations hereunder.

(c) AIT shall not be entitled to assume or maintain control of the defense of any Third Party Claim and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) AIT does not deliver the acknowledgment referred to in Section 12.04(b) within 10 days of receipt of notice of the Third Party Claim pursuant to Section 12.04(a), (ii) the Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation, (iii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the Third Party Claim would be detrimental to the reputation or future business prospects of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (iv) the Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates, or (v) AIT has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend vigorously the Third Party Claim.

(d) If AIT shall assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.04, AIT shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

(e) In circumstances where AIT is controlling the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 12.04(b) and Section 12.04(c), the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose, in which case the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party; provided that in such event AIT shall pay the fees and expenses of such separate counsel (i) incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date AIT assumes control of the defense of the Third Party Claim or (ii) if representation of both AIT and the Indemnified Party by the same counsel would create a conflict of interest.

(f) Each party shall cooperate, AIT shall cause its Affiliates to cooperate and Parent shall cause its directors and officers to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(g) Notwithstanding any terms to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to the indemnification obligation set forth in Section 12.02(a)(i)(y)(1), during the period specified in Section 12.01, (i) no Indemnified Party may contact such creditor or its counsel or other agents or representatives relating to such matter without the prior written consent of AIT, which may be withheld in AIT’s sole discretion, (ii) AIT shall control the defense of any claims relating to such matters in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.04 and (iii) an Indemnified Party shall obtain the prior written consent of AIT before entering into any settlement of such claim, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

Section 12.05. Payment of Indemnification Obligation.

(a) Upon (i) a final determination of an indemnification claim made by an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 12, whereby such final determination is by reason of (ii) the mutual agreement of Parent and AIT in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement, (iii) a failure of AIT to object to an indemnification notice under Section 12.04 of this Agreement or a Claim Certificate (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) in accordance with the procedures set forth herein and in the Escrow Agreement, (iv) a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (v) a final, binding, and conclusive decision of an arbitrator or arbitrators pursuant to the Escrow Agreement or (vi) a determination of an indemnification claim with respect to Covered Taxes pursuant to the procedures set forth in Article 10, then the amount of the Damages stated in such claim or otherwise agreed to or determined, as applicable, shall first be paid from the Escrow Fund out of the Escrow Cash Holdback in cash and out of the Escrow Stock Holdback in shares of Parent Stock, each at the applicable Escrow Proportion, up to the amount of the Escrow Holdback, subject to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Then, subject to the Applicable Caps, AIT shall pay to Parent the portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration, if any, that AIT has not distributed to the AIT Members.

(b) Parent agrees that in the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation of AIT hereunder (other than an indemnification obligation with respect to Taxes), Parent shall take, or cooperate with AIT if so requested by it in order to take, all reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach (including taking reasonable steps to prevent any contingent liability from becoming an actual liability).

(c) The amount of any claim by an Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant to Section 12.02 shall be computed net of aggregate amounts actually recovered under any indemnity agreement, contribution agreement, or other contract (other than an insurance policy) between the Parent, the Company or any other Affiliated entity, on the one hand, and any third party, on the other hand. Each Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recovery under any insurance policy or any indemnification agreement, contribution agreement or other contract with any other third party that would reasonably be expected to be available to reimburse any Damages; provided, that an Indemnified Party shall not be required to file any claim with respect to any such insurance coverage (i) in the event that such Indemnified Party has other claims under such insurance policies that, when taken together with such Damages, would exceed the policy limits of the applicable insurance policies, or (ii) where such Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that seeking insurance coverage for such Damages would materially and adversely affect such Indemnified Party’s claims history, insurance premium, or ability to renew or replace such insurance coverage on acceptable terms. If the Indemnified Party actually receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies, or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Damages, subsequent to an indemnification payment related to such Damages by AIT, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse AIT for any payment made to the Indemnified Party for such Damages (up to the amount received by the indemnified party, but not to exceed the amount of such Damages actually paid by the indemnifying party), net of (x) any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amounts, (y) the net present value of any increase in premiums that arises out of or relates to the relevant claim and (z) any portion of Damages incurred by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party would have been entitled to receive from AIT but for the Deductible Amount or the Applicable Caps.

(d) Parent and AIT agree to treat any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 12.02 as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 13

TERMINATION

Section 13.01. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the Merger may be abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time:

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Company and Parent;

(b) by either the Company or Parent, if:

(i) the Merger has not been consummated on or before ninety (90) days after the date of execution of this Agreement (the “End Date”); provided that the End Date shall be extended for thirty days if the only reason the Merger has not been consummated on or before ninety days after the date of execution of this Agreement is that the condition set forth in Section 11.01(b) has not been fulfilled (provided that such extension shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provisions in this Agreement resulted in the failure of such condition to be fulfilled); provided further that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.01(b)(i) shall not be available to any party whose breach of any provision of this Agreement results in the failure of the Merger to be consummated by such time; or

(ii) there shall be any Applicable Law that (A) makes consummation of the Merger illegal or otherwise prohibited or (B) enjoins the Company or Parent from consummating the Merger and such injunction shall have become final and nonappealable.

(c) by Parent, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in Section 11.02(a) not to be satisfied, and such condition has not been and is incapable of being satisfied by the End Date; or

(d) by the Company, if a breach of any representation or warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Parent or Merger Subsidiary set forth in this Agreement shall have occurred that would cause the condition set forth in Section 11.03(a) not to be satisfied, and such condition is incapable of being satisfied by the End Date.

The party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 13.01 (other than pursuant to Section 13.01(a)) shall give notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 13.02. Effect of Termination. Each party’s right of termination under Section 13.01 is in addition to any other rights it may have under this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of a right of termination will not be an election of remedies. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 13.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any party (or any stockholder, member, manager, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such party) to the other party hereto; provided that, if such termination shall result from the intentional (a) failure of either party to fulfill a condition to the performance of the obligations of the other party, (b) failure of either party to perform a covenant hereof or (c) breach by either party hereto of any representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such party shall be fully liable for any and all liabilities and damages incurred or

suffered by the other party as a result of such failure. The provisions of this Section 13.02 and Sections 9.04, 14.03, 14.06, 14.07 and 14.08 shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section 13.01.

Section 14.02. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived prior to the Effective Time if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

(b) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by Applicable Law.

Section 14.03. Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement by Parent and Merger Subsidiary shall be paid by Parent, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement by the Company, AIT and the AIT Members shall be paid by the Company or by AIT prior to the Closing or at Closing as part of the payment of Outstanding Debt with a portion of the Merger Consideration.

Section 14.04. Disclosure Schedule. The parties hereto agree that any reference in a particular Section of either the Company Disclosure Schedule or the Parent Disclosure Schedule shall only be deemed to be an exception to (or, as applicable, a disclosure for purposes of) (a) the representations and warranties (or covenants, as applicable) of the relevant party that are contained in the corresponding Section of this Agreement and (b) any other representations and warranties of such party that is contained in this Agreement, but only if the relevance of that reference as an exception to (or a disclosure for purposes of) such representations and warranties would be readily apparent to a reasonable person who has read that reference and such representations and warranties, without any independent knowledge on the part of the reader regarding the matter(s) so disclosed. By listing matters on the Company Disclosure Schedule or Parent Disclosure Schedule, the Company or Parent, as the case may be, shall not be deemed, solely as a result of such listing, to have established any materiality standard, admitted any liability or expanded in any way the scope or effect of the representations and warranties of Company contained in this Agreement.

Section 14.05. Binding Effect; Benefit; Assignment. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and, except as provided in Section 8.01,

shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. Except as provided in Section 8.01, no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities hereunder upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

(b) No party may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the consent of each other party hereto, except that Parent or Merger Subsidiary may transfer or assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or from time to time in part, to (i) one or more of their Affiliates at any time, and (ii) after the Effective Time, to any Person; provided that such transfer or assignment shall not relieve Parent or Merger Subsidiary of its obligations hereunder or enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other party hereto or due to Parent or Merger Subsidiary.

Section 14.06. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to the conflicts of law rules of such state (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the General Obligation Laws of the State of New York).

Section 14.07. Jurisdiction. The parties hereto agree that any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether brought by any party or any of its Affiliates or against any party or any of its Affiliates) shall be brought in the state courts located in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or, if such court shall not have jurisdiction, any federal court located in the State of New York, City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, and each of the parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 14.01 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

Section 14.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 14.09. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 14.10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its exhibits, annexes and schedules, the Ancillary Agreements, the Confidentiality Agreement dated February 15, 2012 and the Exclusivity Agreement dated March 5, 2012 constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter therein and herein and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter therein and herein.

Section 14.11. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated 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 a determination, the parties 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 in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 14.12. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in any federal court located in the State of New York or any New York state court, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.
