(a) the assignment of any contract or Permit that would otherwise be an Assigned Contract or Assigned Permit (as applicable) without the approval, consent, or waiver of another party thereto would violate, conflict with, result in a breach or termination of, or constitute a default or event of default under (or an event that with due notice, lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default or event of default under) the terms of such contract or Permit or any Applicable Law, or result in the creation of any Lien on any Purchased Asset or enable another party to terminate the contract or Permit or impose a penalty or additional payment obligations or accelerate any obligation of Seller or Buyer under the contract or Permit; and


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 6

(b) all necessary approvals, consents, and waivers required by the contract or Permit have not been obtained on or before the date hereof in order to avoid the consequences set forth in Section 1.5(a);

(c) then Buyer shall not be obligated to assume the contract or Permit (and if Buyer does not assume the contract or Permit, such contract or Permit shall not be included in the Assigned Contracts, Assigned Permits or the Purchased Assets at Closing); provided, however that Buyer may, at its sole discretion, elect, by written notice to Seller, to assume the obligations and liabilities of Seller under the contract or Permit (to the extent the same would constitute Assumed Liabilities had such contract been included in the Assigned Contracts or Assigned Permits at the Closing) (but not the contract or Permit itself), in which event:

(i) such obligations and liabilities (but not the contract or Permit itself) shall be included in the Assumed Liabilities, the claims, rights, and benefits of Seller arising under the contract or resulting therefrom (but not the contract or Permit itself) shall be included in the Assigned Contracts or Assigned Permits and transferred to Buyer hereunder, and any payments or other benefits received by Seller therefrom after the Closing shall immediately be transferred by Seller to Buyer; and

(ii) after the Closing, Seller and Seller Members shall have the continuing obligation to use their commercially reasonable efforts (at their own expense) to obtain all necessary approvals, consents, and waivers to the assignment or transfer of any such unassigned contracts or Permits, and each of the parties shall promptly execute all documents necessary to complete the transfer of the contract or Permit to Buyer if such approvals, consents, and waivers are obtained (whereupon such contract or Permit shall be included in the Assigned Contracts or Assigned Permits, as applicable, and deemed a Purchased Asset for all purposes hereunder).

(d) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, notwithstanding Seller’s good faith efforts, Seller is unable to obtain the consent to the assignment of an Assigned Contract regarding the purchase and sale of Real Property, Buyer and Seller agree to reasonably cooperate to facilitate the transfer of the Real Property that is the subject of such Assigned Contract by alternative means, including, without limitation, the acquisition of the Real Property that is the subject of such Assigned Contract by Seller and subsequent or simultaneous conveyance of such Real Property to Buyer.

1.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. From and after the date hereof, Seller and Seller Members shall, from time to time, at the request of Parent or Buyer and without further consideration reasonably cooperate at no material cost to Seller or Seller Members to do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, powers of attorney, and assurances as may be reasonably required to confirm the conveyance and transfer of the Purchased Assets to Buyer and otherwise give effect to the intent of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

2.1 Purchase Price.

(a) Subject to such further credits, adjustments, and prorations as set forth herein, the aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the “Purchase Price”) is an amount equal to:

(i) the Estimated Equity Value plus $17 million (the “Closing Purchase Price”), as such amount may be adjusted after Closing pursuant to Section 2.2(d); plus

(ii) the Closing Indebtedness; plus

(iii) the Earn-Out Payments.

(b) Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, at the Closing:

(i) Buyer will pay in full, on Seller’s behalf, the Closing Indebtedness necessary to cause the release of all Liens on the Purchased Assets, as set forth in payoff letters reasonably acceptable to Buyer; and

(ii) Parent will or will cause Buyer to pay an amount equal to the Closing Purchase Price to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to wire instructions provided to Parent prior to the date hereof.

2.2 Equity Value.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Equity Value” means the total assets of Seller less the total liabilities of Seller (including Indebtedness), in each case determined in accordance with GAAP as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(b) Prior to the date hereof, Seller delivered to Parent a certificate (the “Closing Certificate”) signed by the Co-Presidents of Seller, certifying on behalf of Seller the accuracy and completeness of an estimated unaudited statement of Equity Value (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), and Seller represents and warrants that such Estimated Closing Statement (i) was prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes), (ii) sets forth Seller’s good faith estimate of Equity Value (“Estimated Equity Value”), as derived from the Estimated Closing Statement and (iii) specifically itemizes all outstanding Indebtedness.

(c) Within 90 days after the date hereof, Parent will deliver to Seller an unaudited statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth Parent’s determination of Equity Value (“Closing Equity Value”). The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the absence of footnotes). If Seller disagrees with the calculation of Closing Equity Value, Seller shall, within 30 days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a notice (an “Objection Notice”) to Parent setting forth


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 8

Seller’s calculation of Closing Equity Value and the reasons for Seller’s disagreement with Parent’s calculation. If requested by Seller, Parent will provide to Seller copies of all relevant documentation used in its calculation within ten days of its receipt of such request from Seller. If Seller does not deliver the Objection Notice to Parent within 30 days after receipt by Seller of the Closing Statement, the Closing Equity Value will be conclusively presumed to be true and correct in all respects and will be final and binding upon the parties. Seller and Parent will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the Closing Equity Value, but if they do not obtain a final resolution within 30 days after Parent’s receipt of the Objection Notice, then all amounts remaining in dispute may be submitted to the Neutral Auditor; provided, however, to the extent agreed upon by Seller and Parent, the 30-day period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence may be extended. Parent and Seller will direct the Neutral Auditor to render a determination within 45 days of its retention, and Parent and Seller will cooperate with the Neutral Auditor during its engagement. The Neutral Auditor will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Objection Notice that Parent and Seller are unable to resolve; provided that each of Parent and Seller shall be entitled to make a presentation to the Neutral Auditor regarding the items and amounts that they are unable to resolve and neither Parent nor Seller will meet or communicate separately with the Neutral Auditor. In making its determination, the Neutral Auditor shall (i) be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the definition of Equity Value and (ii) not assign any value with respect to a disputed amount that is greater than the highest value for such amount claimed by either Seller or Parent or that is less than the lowest value for such amount claimed by either Seller or Parent. The determination of the Neutral Auditor will be conclusive and binding upon the parties. Parent and Seller shall each pay 50% the fees and expenses of the Neutral Auditor.

(d) The “Final Adjustment Amount” shall be an amount equal to the Estimated Equity Value less the finally determined Closing Equity Value. Within three Business Days following the final determination of Closing Equity Value, (i) if the Final Adjustment Amount is positive, Seller shall promptly pay to Parent an amount equal to the Final Adjustment Amount, or (ii) if the Final Adjustment Amount is negative, Parent shall promptly pay to Seller the absolute value of the Final Adjustment Amount. The Purchase Price automatically will be adjusted to reflect any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 2.2(d).

(e) No interest shall accrue on any amounts payable under Section 2.2(d).

2.3 Closing Indebtedness. Immediately prior to the Closing on the date hereof, Seller has applied all of its cash and cash equivalents to pay down, to the maximum extent possible, Seller’s Indebtedness. The amount of Seller’s Indebtedness remaining after such payments is the “Closing Indebtedness.” In no event will the Closing Indebtedness exceed an amount that would cause the Closing Purchase Price to be below zero.

2.4 Earn-Out.


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 9

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings given them below:

(i) “Achievement Percentage” means, for any Earn-Out Period, the quotient of (A) EBIT for such period divided by (B) the Performance Objective for such period.

(ii) “Earn-Out Payment” means, for any Earn-Out Period, (A) if the Achievement Percentage for such period is at least 0.50, an amount equal to (1) the Target Amount multiplied by (2) such Achievement Percentage; and (B) if the Achievement Percentage is less than 0.50, zero (no Earn-Out Payment shall be made for such period). For the avoidance of doubt, the Earn-Out Payment may exceed the Target Amount where the Achievement Percentage is greater than 100%.

(iii) “Earn-Out Period” means each of (A) the period beginning on April 1, 2014 through and including December 31, 2014 and (B) the 2015 calendar year.

(iv) “EBIT” means aggregate earnings (excluding interest income) of the projects set forth on Schedule 2.4(a)(iv) before deduction of interest expenses and income Taxes, as determined in accordance with GAAP as applied by Buyer.

(v) “Performance Objective” means, for any Earn-Out Period, the EBIT amount listed for such Earn-Out Period on Schedule 2.4(a)(v).

(vi) “Target Amount” means $1.5 million.

(b) On or before the 90^th day following the end of each Earn-Out Period (an “Earn-Out Payment Date”), Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a schedule of the Achievement Percentage for that Earn-Out Period (the “Earn-Out Schedule”), setting forth such calculations in reasonable detail. If an Earn-Out Payment is due hereunder in respect of the Earn-Out Period, Buyer shall pay the Earn-Out Payment to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Earn-Out Payment Date (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.7(b)).

(c) Within 30 days after delivery of the Earn-Out Schedule to Seller (during which period Buyer shall provide prompt access to such working papers and information relating to the preparation of the Earn-Out Schedule as may be reasonably requested by Seller), Seller may dispute all or a portion of the Earn-Out Schedule by giving written notice (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any such dispute. Buyer and Seller shall promptly commence good faith negotiations with a view to resolving all such disputes. If Seller does not provide a Notice of a Disagreement to Buyer within such 30-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Earn-Out Schedule in the form delivered by Buyer.

(d) If Buyer and Seller do not resolve the dispute described in Section 2.4(c) (as evidenced by a written agreement between them) within 30 days following delivery of


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 10

the Notice of Disagreement, the dispute may be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2(c), mutatis mutandis. If, upon resolution of the dispute, additional consideration is due to Seller, Buyer shall pay such amount, without interest, to Seller by wire transfer of immediately available funds within five Business Days after such dispute is resolved. If, upon resolution of the dispute, it is determined that the Earn-Out Payment due is less than the Earn-Out Payment previously paid with respect to the applicable Earn-Out Period, Seller shall pay to Buyer within five Business Days after such dispute is resolved, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount, without interest, equal to such difference.

(i) engage in the Business in the markets in which Parent, Buyer, Seller or their Affiliates operate as of the date hereof (the “Restricted Area”);

If they cannot resolve the issue within 30 days, it shall be resolved by an accounting or appraisal firm chosen by and mutually acceptable to both parties. If payment of a Real Estate Transfer Tax is due prior to any such resolution, payment shall be made based on Buyer’s valuation and, upon resolution, Buyer shall make such corrective filings with the appropriate Taxing Authority and shall pay any additional, and shall be entitled to any refund of, any Real Estate Transfer Tax resulting from such corrective filings. Seller shall be responsible for any Real Estate Transfer Taxes relating to intercompany transfers of land between Hanover and Seller, which shall be accrued prior to Closing and reflected as a liability in the calculation of Equity Value.

(c) Seller shall pay all sales, use, value-added, business, goods and services, transfer, documentary, conveyancing or similar Taxes or expenses and all recording fees that may be imposed as a result of the sale and transfer of the Business or the Assets to Buyer under this Agreement, other than the Real Estate Transfer Taxes. Seller will prepare, subject to Parent’s reasonable approval (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed in respect of such Taxes, provided that Parent may elect to prepare and file any such Tax Returns that are the primary responsibility of Buyer under Applicable Laws. Parent’s preparation of any such Tax Returns will be subject to Seller’s reasonable approval, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Seller and Parent will reasonably cooperate with each other to share information reasonably necessary for the preparation of those Tax Returns and any Tax clearance certificates that either Seller or Parent may request.

7.2 Income and Franchise Taxes. Nothing in this Agreement makes a party liable for the income or franchise Taxes of the other party.

7.3 Allocation of Purchase Price. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days following the date hereof, Parent will prepare and deliver to Seller a statement allocating the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Purchased Assets (the


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 46

“Allocation Statement”). The Allocation Statement will be consistent with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder and, subject to the foregoing, will be substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 7.3 (the “Allocation Principles”). The Allocation Principles are intended by the parties, acting in good faith, to comply with the provisions of Section 1060 of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, based on the preliminary amounts of the Purchase Price, Assumed Liabilities and the Purchased Assets estimated as of the date hereof, and subject to fact that the Allocation Principles reflect ranges of value as of the date hereof, rather than specific amounts. Within 30 days after Seller’s receipt of the Allocation Statement, Seller shall indicate its concurrence therewith, or propose to Parent any changes to the Allocation Statement. Seller’s failure to notify Parent of any objection to the Allocation Statement within 30 days after receipt thereof shall constitute Seller’s concurrence therewith. Seller and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes regarding the Allocation Statement. If Seller and Parent are unable to resolve any disputes regarding the Allocation Statement within 30 days of Parent’s receipt of such changes, then the dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Auditor for resolution as soon as practicable, but in any event within 30 days. The Neutral Auditor shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on the written submissions of the parties and not by independent investigation, only the specific items under dispute by the parties. The Neutral Auditor shall deliver to Seller and Parent, as promptly as practicable, but in any case no later than 30 days, a determination of the allocation. Parent, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall share equally all fees and expenses of any the Neutral Auditor hired pursuant to this Section 7.3.

Except to the extent required by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, including pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Tax Code, Parent and Seller agree to timely report the transaction contemplated herein for federal income tax purposes on all information returns and supplements thereto required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service by the parties under Section 1060 of the Tax Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in a manner consistent with the Allocation Statement, as so finalized. In furtherance of the foregoing, and without limitation, the parties agree to jointly prepare an IRS Form 8594 consistent with the above allocation procedures and the Allocation Statement, as so finalized, and further agree to file such IRS Form with their respective tax returns for the tax year which includes the date hereof. No party shall file any tax return or take a position with any taxing authority that is inconsistent with the Allocation Statement, as so finalized (except to the extent required by Applicable Law or a Governmental Authority, including pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Tax Code).

ARTICLE X

INDEMNIFICATION

10.1 Indemnification by Seller and Seller Members. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X, from and after the date hereof, Seller and Seller Members, jointly and severally (but subject to Section 10.6), shall indemnify Parent and Buyer in respect of, and hold Parent and Buyer harmless against, any and all liabilities, damages, losses, claims, demands, fines, fees, interest, penalties, assessments, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Damages”) incurred or suffered by Parent, Buyer, or any Affiliate of Parent or Buyer (including Retail Sales Subsidiary) resulting from, related to, or arising out of:

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto;

(b) any failure by Seller to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement;


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 50

(d) any liability or obligation of Seller that is not an Assumed Liability (including as a result of any failure of the parties in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby to comply fully with any applicable bulk-transfer laws).

10.2 Indemnification by Parent. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article X, from and after the date hereof, Parent shall indemnify Seller and Seller Members in respect of, and hold Seller and Seller Members harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by Seller, Seller Member or any Affiliate of Seller or Seller Members resulting from, related to, or arising out of:

(a) any breach of a representation or warranty of Parent or Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto;

(b) any failure by Parent or Buyer to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; or

10.3 Claims for Indemnification.

(a) Procedure for Claims. A Person entitled to indemnification under this Article X (an “Indemnified Party”) wishing to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article X (including a claim to which the Threshold would apply) (a “Claim”) shall deliver to the Person from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice (a “Claim Notice”) that (i) states in reasonable detail the facts constituting the basis for the Claim and the Damages claimed, (ii) states the amount (the “Claim Amount”) of any Damages claimed by the Indemnified Party, to the extent then known, (iii) states that the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article X and set forth a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor, and (iv) includes a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages. Within 30 days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party a written response in which the Indemnifying Party shall (A) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive all of the Claim Amount, (B) agree that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive part, but not all, of the Claim Amount (the “Agreed Amount”), or (C) contest that the Indemnified Party is entitled to receive any of the Claim Amount. If the Indemnifying Party in such response contests the payment of all or part of the Claim Amount, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use good faith efforts to resolve such dispute. If such dispute is not resolved within 60 days following the delivery by the Indemnifying Party of such response (the “Resolution Period”), the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall each have the right to submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.10.

(b) Third-Party Claims. All claims for indemnification made under this Agreement resulting from, related to, or arising out of a third-party claim shall be subject to the following additional procedures and provisions. An Indemnified Party shall give


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 51

prompt written notification to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action, suit, or proceeding relating to a third-party claim for which indemnification may be sought or, if earlier, upon the assertion of any such claim or demand by a third party. Such notification shall (i) state in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such third-party claim, (ii) state the sections of this Agreement with respect to which indemnification is being claimed for any such Damages and that the Indemnified Party is entitled to Indemnification under this Article X, and (iii) state the amount of the Damage being claimed. Within 30 days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding, or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any action, suit, proceeding, or claim that seeks non-monetary relief or criminal penalties without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding, or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one additional counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The party controlling such defense shall (A) keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding, or claim and the defense thereof, (B) provide the other party with reasonable access to all relevant information and documentation relating to the claim and the prosecution or defense thereof, and (C) consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto or that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

(c) Treatment of Indemnity Payments. All indemnity payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 52

10.4 Survival.

(a) The representations and warranties of Seller, Seller Members, Parent, and Buyer set forth in this Agreement (other than Fundamental Representations) shall survive the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and continue until the third anniversary of the date hereof (the “Survival Date”), at which time they shall expire.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Fundamental Representations shall survive until the date that is 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the underlying subject matter thereof (e.g., claims under Section 3.9 relating to federal income Taxes will survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable under the Tax Code, claims under Section 3.19 relating to ERISA will survive until the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to claims under ERISA, etc.); provided, however, that the three-year statute of limitations applicable under Delaware law for claims relating to contracts not under seal (and not the longer twenty-year statute of limitations applicable to contracts under seal) shall apply (and the parties agree that the limitations period shall be reduced to such three-year period) in the absence of an applicable statute of limitations with respect to the underlying subject matter thereof for any such claim. For purposes of clarification, the parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is being entered into as a contract under seal solely for the purpose, with regard to the Fundamental Representations only, of not running afoul of the Delaware rule of law that a statute of limitations period may not be extended by contract, and it is not the parties’ intent to extend the statute of limitations period for any claim to twenty years, but only for so long as would otherwise be the case under any specified statute of limitations period applicable to the underlying subject matter thereof (e.g., three years for Taxes under Tax Code Section 6501(a), six years for Taxes under Tax Code Section 6501(e), etc.), and if there is no specified statute of limitations period applicable to the underlying subject matter, then the three-year statute of limitations applicable under Delaware law for claims relating to contracts not under seal shall be deemed to apply to such claims. Furthermore, in the event there is a specified statute of limitations period applicable to the underlying subject matter of any claim relating to a Fundamental Representation, Buyer and Parent hereby agree that they shall not agree to extend any such applicable statute of limitations period without the prior written consent of Seller.

(c) Except to the extent expressly waived by a party, the covenants and other agreements of each party set forth in this Agreement will remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(d) If an indemnification claim under Section 10.1 or 10.2, as the case may be, is properly asserted under Section 10.3 prior to the Survival Date or other applicable survival date, then the related representation and warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

10.5 Limitations and Other Terms.


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 53

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate liability of Seller and Seller Members for Damages under Section 10.1(a) shall not exceed $2.0 million (the “Cap”), and (ii) Seller and Seller Members shall not be liable under Section 10.1(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages for all Claims under such section equal or exceed an amount equal to $400,000 in the aggregate (the “Threshold”), at which ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller Members shall be liable for all such Damages (including those equal to or less than the Threshold); provided, however, that the limitations Threshold shall not apply to a claim arising out of a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any representation that was fraudulently made.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the aggregate liability of Parent for Damages under Section 10.2(a) shall not exceed the Cap, and (ii) Parent shall not be liable under Section 10.2(a) unless and until the aggregate Damages for all claims under such section equal or exceed Threshold, at which time Parent shall be liable for all such Damages (including those equal to or less than the Threshold; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 10.5(b) shall not apply to a claim arising out of a breach of a Fundamental Representation or any representation that was fraudulently made.

(c) The representations and warranties of each of the Seller, Seller Members and Buyer in this Agreement (other than Section 3.6(a)) and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed not to include any Materiality Qualifiers solely for the purposes of calculating the amount of Damages to which a party is entitled pursuant to Section 10.1(a) or 10.2(b) (but such Materiality Qualifier shall be taken into account in determining whether there has been a breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement).

(d) No right or obligation under this Article X will be waived or otherwise affected by any knowledge (of any form or type) of Parent or Buyer or by any investigation, due diligence, or verification by or on behalf of Parent or Buyer. All representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements herein will be deemed material and relied upon by each party, and none will be waived by any failure to pursue any action or by consummation of the transactions contemplated herein.

(e) Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article X in respect of any Damages shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized as a result of such Damages by the Indemnified Party, determined in the reasonable discretion of such Indemnified Party.

(f) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages except arising out of a third-party claim.

(g) Each Indemnified Party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any Damages for which such Indemnified Party is or may become entitled to be indemnified hereunder.


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 54

(h) Any liability for indemnification hereunder shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the state of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(i) Except with respect to claims for equitable relief and except with respect to claims of fraud, the rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Article X shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Indemnified Parties and their respective Affiliates from and after the Effective Time.

10.6 Allocation of Liability Among Seller Members.

(a) Allocation of Liability Among Seller Members. Seller shall be liable for the full amount of any indemnification obligations under this Article X. The individual liability of any Seller Member for any Claim under this Article X shall be limited to such Seller Member’s Pro Rata Portion thereof, unless such Claim arises from (i) a breach of a representation or warranty relating specifically to such Seller Member or (ii) a failure by such Seller Member to perform any covenant or agreement relating specifically to him (an “Individual Claim”).

(b) Contribution. If any Seller Member pays (or becomes obligated to pay) any indemnification under this Article X (other than an Individual Claim) and such payment is not paid (or is not allocated to be paid) by all Seller Members in proportion to each Seller Member’s Pro Rata Portion thereof, then each Seller that paid (or was allocated) less than such Seller Member’s Pro Rata Portion promptly will contribute immediately available funds to each Seller Member that paid (or was allocated) more than its Pro Rata Portion such that, after making such contribution payments, each Seller Member will have paid its Pro Rata Portion of such indemnification. This Section 10.6(b) contains covenants and agreements by and among Seller Members only. Buyer will have no right or liability under or in connection with this Section 10.6(b).

10.7 Set-Off; First Recourse to Earn-Out Payment.

(a) Parent and Buyer will have the right to set off and retain any unpaid amount owed by Seller or any Seller Member to Buyer hereunder, including pursuant to Section 2.2, Section 6.4 and Article X, against any amount payable by Parent or Buyer to Seller or such Seller Member, including the Earn-Out Payment (but not against any amount payable under the Employment Agreements). The exercise of or failure to exercise such right of set off will not constitute an election of remedies or limit in any manner the enforcement of any other remedy that may be available to Parent or Buyer.

(b) If and to the extent any Earn-Out Payment has been earned and is payable by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.4 at the time of the final determination of any monetary claim for indemnification under Article X, such claim shall be satisfied first by a dollar-for-dollar offset against the Earn-Out Payment before recovery of such claim may be sought against any other assets of Seller or the Seller Members. As a consequence of the foregoing, upon delivery of a Claim Notice by Parent or Buyer to Seller, Buyer’s obligations to pay any Earn-Out Payment shall be suspended to the extent (but only to the


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 55

extent) of the amount specified in such Claim Notice until the matter set forth in the Claim Notice is fully resolved. No interest will accrue on the Earn-Out Payment during this period.

11.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein that are to be delivered at the Closing)


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 57

constitutes the entire agreement among the parties to this Agreement and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or among the parties hereto, or any of them, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in effect in accordance with its terms.

11.3 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Article X, this Agreement is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns or to otherwise create any third-party beneficiary hereto.

11.4 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void; provided, however, Buyer may assign all of its rights, interests and obligations to Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent without any such consent. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.5 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

11.6 Counterparts, Signature and Seal. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and the signature pages by facsimile transmission or other electronic means shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes. This Agreement is a contract under seal, with all the consequences thereof under Delaware law (provided, however, that the parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding the application of the longer limitations period applicable under Delaware law for sealed contracts, the parties hereby agree to reduce the applicable limitations period for all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement as set forth


Asset Purchase Agreement		Page 58

in Section 10.4.), and the word “SEAL” next to each party’s signature has the same effect as if such party’s seal were manually affixed hereto.

No summary of this Agreement prepared by any party shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

11.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and any controversy related to, arising directly or indirectly out of, caused by, or resulting from this shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware (except with respect to the remedy of specific performance, as to which the internal laws of the State of Florida shall govern) without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware, the State of Florida or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdictions.

11.9 Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

11.12 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of Parent, Buyer, Seller and Seller Members hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Buyer, Seller and Seller Members in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement hereof.

11.13 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto agree that they shall sign such additional and supplemental documents as may be necessary to implement the transactions contemplated pursuant to this Agreement when requested to do so by any party to this Agreement.
