Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, on and as of the Closing Date, the Sellers hereby sell, assign and transfer, and the Purchaser hereby purchases, the Shares, free and clear of all Liens.

Section 2.03 Aggregate Consideration.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Sellers, Company and Subsidiary set forth herein, and as consideration for the purchase and sale of the Shares, on and as of the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees to pay and transfer to the Sellers the following consideration (collectively, the “Aggregate Consideration”):

(i) Subject to Section 2.03(b), Twenty-Seven Million Dollars ($27,000,000) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Sellers, except for the portion of said payment to be paid by check to those Sellers identified on Schedule 2.03, which shall be paid by Purchaser’s check dated the Closing Date;

(ii) Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred (87,500) shares of Purchaser Common Stock to the Sellers indicated on Schedule 2.03; and

(iii) the amount, if any, determined pursuant to Section 2.03(d) below within the time frame set forth therein.

(b) On the Closing Date, One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Escrow Amount”), that would otherwise be delivered to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.03(a), shall be transferred to a separate escrow account (the “Escrow Account”). The Escrow Amount shall be held in escrow until the end of the fifteen (15) month period following the Closing Date (or as otherwise set forth in the Escrow Agreement), as partial security for the indemnification obligations of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement. The Escrow Amount and the release thereof to the Purchaser and Sellers shall be governed by the terms and conditions of an Escrow Agreement among the Sellers’ Representative on behalf of the Sellers, the Purchaser and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”). On the Closing Date, Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) (the “Holdback Amount”) that would otherwise be delivered to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.03(a), shall be transferred to a separate account maintained by the Sellers’ Representative for use solely to pay professional fees and expenses and other costs incurred subsequent to the Closing Date to perform the obligations of Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall have prepared and delivered to the Sellers’ Representative the calculation of Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”). The calculation of Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be in the form and use the methodology set forth on Exhibit B hereto. The calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be final and binding on the parties unless, within thirty (30) days after delivery to the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative delivers to the Purchaser a notice of dispute (a “Dispute Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail the items in dispute. Such items in dispute shall be limited to claims of the Purchaser’s arithmetic error or use of accounting principles, policies, practices, classifications or methodologies other than those set forth in Exhibit B. After delivery of a Dispute Notice, the Sellers’ Representative and the Purchaser shall promptly negotiate in good faith with respect to the subject of the Dispute Notice, and if they are unable to reach an agreement within fifteen (15) days after delivery by the Sellers’ Representative of the Dispute Notice, the dispute shall be submitted to ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP, or such other independent public accounting firm as mutually agreed to by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall be directed to issue a final and binding decision within thirty (30) days of submission of the Dispute Notice to the Independent Accounting Firm, as to the issues of disagreement referred to in the Dispute Notice and not resolved by the Purchaser and the Sellers’ Representative, provided that, (i) in resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party; and (ii) in no event shall Closing Date Working Capital as determined by the Independent Accounting Firm be less than Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Date Working Capital nor more than the Sellers’ Representative’s calculation of Closing Date Working Capital set forth in the Dispute Notice. The decision of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne one-half by the Sellers and one-half by the Purchaser.

(d) If the Closing Date Net Working Capital, as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(c) above, is less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Company Net Working Capital”), the Aggregate Consideration shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount by which the Company Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Date Net Working Capital, and the Sellers’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, shall cause the Escrow Agent to pay to the Purchaser the dollar amount by which the Company Net Working Capital exceeds the Closing Date Net Working Capital (or, to the extent there are insufficient funds remaining in the Escrow Account at the time such payment is to be made, such payment shall be made directly from the Sellers to the Purchaser). If the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than the Company Net Working Capital, then the Aggregate Consideration shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount the Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds the Company Net Working Capital, and the Purchaser shall pay the Sellers the dollar amount by which the Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds the Company Net Working Capital. Any such payment due under this Section 2.03(d) shall be made in cash or same day funds within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 2.03(c).

Each Seller shall make any payments as may be required (or bear a reduction in the Escrow Amount) pursuant to this Section 6.04 in accordance with his or her Applicable Percentage.

(a) The Purchaser shall retain and shall cause the Company and Subsidiary to retain, and each Seller shall retain, and each such party shall make available or shall cause to be made available to the other parties, until the applicable statute of limitations (including any extensions) have expired, copies of all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules, and other records or information that may be relevant to such returns for all Tax periods or portions thereof ending before or including the Closing Date, shall make available at a mutually convenient time such knowledgeable employees and facilities as are needed to provide explanation of any such documents or information and shall not destroy or otherwise dispose of any such records without first providing the other party with written notice and a reasonable opportunity to review and copy same at the cost of such other party.

(b) The Sellers (through the Sellers’ Representative) shall timely prepare and file all Tax Returns with respect to the Company and Subsidiary for all periods commencing prior to and ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”). The Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns with respect to the Company and Subsidiary for all periods commencing after the Closing Date and ending thereafter (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”). The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns with respect to the Company and Subsidiary for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, if any (the “Straddle Period”). The Purchaser shall forward the Straddle Period Tax Returns and supporting calculations to the Sellers’ Representative, for review, no later than thirty (30) days prior to the filing of the Tax Returns. Within five (5) Business Days of receipt by the Sellers’ Representative of a written demand by the Purchaser, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the portion of Straddle Period Taxes (to the extent such Taxes exceed prepayments made with respect to such Taxes prior to the Closing Date) allocated to the Sellers pursuant to Sections 6.05(c) and 6.05(g). Each Seller shall make any payments as may be required (or bear a reduction in the Escrow Amount) pursuant to this Section 6.05(b) in accordance with his or her Applicable Percentage.

(c) The Sellers (through the Sellers’ Representative) and the Purchaser shall, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close the taxable period of the Company and Subsidiary as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable Law does not permit the Company or Subsidiary to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in the case of Taxes payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall (i) in the case of any Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or gross receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the relevant taxable period ended on the Closing Date and by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company and Subsidiary as of the close of the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

(d) The Sellers (through the Sellers’ Representative) and the Purchaser shall provide to each other prompt notice of, and as requested by the other party reasonable cooperation (including, without limitation, make available at a mutually convenient time knowledgeable employees, documents, information and facilities) in respect of, any audit or similar investigation or proceeding in which the IRS or any other Governmental Authority makes or proposes to make a Tax adjustment to any Tax period of the Company and Subsidiary.

(e) The Sellers (through the Sellers’ Representative) shall have the right, at their own expense, to control any audit or examination by any Taxing authority, initiate any claim for refund, contest, resolve and defend against any assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment (a “Tax Matter”) as it relates to the Company and Subsidiary for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods or the portion of any Straddle Period through the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Sellers and the Sellers’ Representative shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Matter without the consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if such settlement, compromise or abandonment would adversely affect the Purchaser. The Purchaser shall have the right, at its own expense, to control any Tax Matter as it relates to the Company and Subsidiary for the portion of any Straddle Periods after the Closing Date and all Post-Closing Tax Periods; provided, however, that with respect to Straddle Periods, the Purchaser shall not settle, compromise or abandon any Tax Matter without the consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, if such settlement, compromise or abandonment would adversely affect the Sellers.

(f) At the Purchaser’s option, the Sellers and Purchaser shall join in making an election under Code §338(h)(10) (and any corresponding elections under state, local, or foreign Tax Law) (collectively a “Code Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder. The Sellers, severally, agree to pay all Taxes attributable to the making of the Code Section 338(h)(10) Election and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses and adverse consequences, based upon or arising out of: (i) any failure to pay such Taxes; (ii) the termination or loss of the Company’s subchapter S election and status or the termination or loss of the Subsidiary’s election and status as a qualified subchapter S subsidiary based, in whole or in part, upon any pre-Closing event or circumstance relating to the Company, the Subsidiary or the Sellers; or (iii) the Parties inability to make a valid Code Section 338(h)(10) Election with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder, or a revocation or termination of, or an adverse adjustment to, such election by the IRS, based, in whole or in part, upon any pre-Closing event or circumstance relating to the Company, the Subsidiary or the Sellers. The Sellers also agree, severally, to pay all state, local, or foreign Tax (and indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses and adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay such Tax) attributable to an election under state, local, or foreign Law similar to the election available under Code Section 338(h)(10) (or which results from the making of an election under Code Section 338(h)(10)) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Shares hereunder. Each Seller shall make any payments as may be required (or bear a reduction in the Escrow Amount) pursuant to this Section 6.05(f) in accordance with his or her Applicable Percentage.

(g) The Sellers agree, severally, to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses relating to, or arising from, (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) attributable to (including by virtue of Treasury Regulations § 1.1502-6 and any similar provision of state, local, or foreign Tax Laws) the Company and Subsidiary for Pre-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period through the Closing Date and (ii) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.17 (determined without regard to any qualification related to materiality contained therein). The Sellers shall be entitled to any reduction in or refund of such Taxes attributable to Pre-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period through the Closing Date. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 6.05, the Purchaser shall pay (or cause to be paid), and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Sellers (excluding the Company and Subsidiary) from and against all Taxes attributable to the Company and Subsidiary for Post-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period after the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall be entitled to any reduction in or refund of such Taxes attributable to the Post-Closing Periods and any portion of a Straddle Period after the Closing Date. The indemnification provided for in Sections 6.05(f) and (g) shall be the sole remedy for any claim in respect of Taxes, including any claim arising out of or relating to a breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 3.17 hereof, and in the event of a conflict between the provisions of Sections 6.05(f) and (g), on the one hand, and the provisions of Article VII, on the other hand, the provisions of Sections 6.05(f) or (g) (as applicable) shall control. Each Seller shall make any payments as may be required (or bear a reduction in the Escrow Amount) pursuant to this Section 6.05(g) in accordance with his or her Applicable Percentage.

(h) Any Tax allocation, indemnity, or similar agreement or arrangement between the Sellers, and the Company and/or Subsidiary shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year or a past year).

(i) The parties hereto agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 6.05(f) or (g) or Article VII as an adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration for federal, state, local and foreign income Tax purposes, to the extent consistent with applicable Law.

Any Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports filed by the Purchaser, the Company, the Subsidiary or the Sellers shall be prepared in a manner consistent with such allocation. The Purchaser shall prepare the allocation of the Aggregate Consideration and shall deliver such allocation to the Sellers’ Representative within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date. The Sellers’ Representative shall have twenty (20) days to review and comment upon the proposed allocation of the Aggregate Consideration. After receiving the comments of the Sellers’ Representative, the Purchaser may accept the allocation with Sellers’ Representative’s comments or the Parties shall engage the Independent Accounting Firm to prepare an allocation of the Aggregate Consideration which shall be binding upon the parties. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be borne one-half by the Sellers and one-half by the Purchaser, with the Sellers bearing their share of such fees and expenses in accordance with the Applicable Percentages.

(b) In the event that the indemnifying party shall elect not to undertake such defense, or within a reasonable time after notice of any such Claim from the other party shall fail to defend, the indemnified party (upon notice to the indemnifying party) shall have the right to undertake the defense by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the other party.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Article VII to the contrary, (i) neither the indemnifying nor the indemnified party shall, without the other’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such Claim, (ii) in the event that the indemnifying party undertakes defense of any Claim in accordance with Section 7.05(a), the indemnified party, by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with, and be provided reasonable access to all relevant information within the possession of, the indemnifying party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Claim and (iii) in the event that the indemnified party undertakes defense of any Claim in accordance with Section 7.05(b), the indemnifying party, by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with, and be provided reasonable access to all relevant information within the possession of, the indemnified party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Claim.

Section 7.06 Limitations on Indemnification.

(a) Except as provided below, the Sellers shall not be obligated to make any indemnification payments with respect to any breach of a representation or warranty under this Article VII unless and until the amount of such Losses described therein collectively exceeds Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), (the “Basket Amount”), provided that once such Losses exceed such amount, the Sellers shall be obligated to make payments in respect of the full amount of such Losses (from the first dollar of such Losses and not only such Losses in excess of the Basket Amount). Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 7.06(a), the Basket Amount will not apply to indemnified Losses resulting from or related to (i) breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.05, 3.09(a), 3.13, 3.17, 4.01, 4.02, 4.03, 4.04, 4.06 and 4.07 (the “Fundamental Representations”), (ii) obligations of the Sellers to the extent a breach results from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Sellers, and (iii) any failure to perform, nonfulfillment, nonobservance or other breach or violation of, or default in the performance of, any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative set forth in this Agreement.

(b) Except as provided below, the Sellers’ maximum aggregate indemnification liability for all indemnified Losses under Section 7.02 relating to or arising out of the breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Subsidiary in Article III, or any failure to perform or breach or violation of, any covenant or agreement of the Sellers or the Sellers’ Representative set forth in this Agreement other than Sellers’ indemnity obligations in excess of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) under this Article VII and in Sections 6.05(f) and (g), shall not exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Cap No. 1”), provided that Cap No. 1 shall not apply to indemnified Losses resulting from or related to (i) breaches of the Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.17, and the Sellers’ agreement in Section 2.02 to sell, assign and transfer the Shares to the Purchaser free and clear of all Liens, (ii) the Sellers’ indemnification obligations under Section 7.03 that arise out of breaches of the representations and warranties made in Article IV, (iii) the obligations (including the indemnity obligations) of Sellers under Sections 6.05(f) and (g) herein, and (iv) obligations of the Sellers to the extent a breach results from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Sellers, Company or Subsidiary. Further, Sellers’ maximum aggregate indemnification liability for indemnified Losses under Section 7.02 relating to or arising out of any breach of the representations and warranties in Sections 3.02 and 3.05, shall not exceed Twenty Five Million Four Hundred Fifty Two Thousand Dollars ($25,452,000), which amount was calculated by multiplying $28,000,000 by .909 and represents the approximate consideration to be received by the Controlling Shareholders (“Cap No. 2”), provided that Cap No. 2 shall not apply to indemnified Losses resulting from obligations of the Sellers to the extent a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.02 or 3.05 results from fraud or intentional misrepresentation by Sellers, Company or Subsidiary.

(c) The amount of any Loss for which indemnification is provided pursuant to this Article VII shall be net of (i) any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under its insurance policies or otherwise; (ii) any related reserve in respect thereof resulting in a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.03(d); and (iii) the reduction in current Tax liability of the indemnified party attributable to such Loss.

(d) The Sellers shall not have any claim for contribution from or against the Company or Subsidiary as a result of any indemnification or other payments made by any of the Sellers to any of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

(e) An indemnifying person shall not be responsible or liable for Losses or other amounts under this Article VII that are consequential, special, exemplary, punitive, in the nature of lost profits or diminution in value or otherwise not actual damages, except for claims for indemnification which involve third party claims and claims for indemnification (whether or not involving third party claims) resulting from or relating to (i) breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.05 and 3.17; and (ii) the obligations (including the indemnity obligations) of Sellers under Section 6.05(f) herein.

(f) Notwithstanding anything else in this Article VII to the contrary, no party shall be limited, at any time, from recovering any and all Losses incurred or suffered by it relating to or arising out of or in connection with fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

(g) The Sellers and the Purchaser agree and acknowledge that the rights to indemnification provided for in Sections 6.05(f) and (g) and this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (regardless of the theory or cause of action pled) for monetary damages of the Sellers on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, as the case may be, after the Closing for and with respect to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of the other party and for any failure by the other party to perform and comply with any covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, and each party to this Agreement hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other rights or remedies that may arise under any applicable law in connection therewith, provided, however, that nothing herein will limit in any way any party’s rights hereunder, or otherwise, to specific performance or injunctive relief.

Section 7.07 Cooperation.

The parties shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the other and make available, at the other’s expense, all information (but excluding privileged communications) necessary for the other to pursue any indemnification or reimbursement from a third party for any Losses in the event that the other elects to pursue such indemnification or reimbursement. The Sellers’ Representative shall fully cooperate with Purchaser in seeking and obtaining payment from the individual Sellers of all amounts due to Purchaser under this Article VII.

(a) This Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties hereto, and any claims or disputes relating thereto, shall be governed by and construed under and in accordance with the Laws of the State of Maryland, excluding the choice of Law rules thereof.

Section 9.07 Specific Performance.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the breach by any of them of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other parties hereto and that they will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Therefore, the obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies at Law or otherwise which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 9.08 Interpretation.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, subsection, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to a Section, subsection, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

Any agreement or instrument defined or referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Pronouns of one gender shall include all genders. All accounting conventions shall be consistent with GAAP unless otherwise specified. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only, and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts (whether transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means) none of which need contain the signatures of all parties, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which taken together constitute one and the same instrument. It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than the number of counterparts containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, all of the parties hereto.

Section. 9.10 Remedies Cumulative.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all rights and remedies of the Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and without prejudice to any other rights or remedies under Law.

Section 9.11 Entire Agreement.

This Agreement (including the Recitals which are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement), together with all Exhibits and Schedules hereto and the Transaction Documents, constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties.
