Section 2.7. Earn-Out. In addition to the Closing Purchase Price, the earn-out amounts set forth below can be earned and shall be paid, if earned, to Sellers.

(a) Up to an aggregate of One Million Three Hundred Thirty Three Thousand Dollars ($1,333,000) (the “Annual Maximum”) can be earned based on the AEBITDA of the Sellers’ Operations during each of the twelve (12) month periods (each a “Measurement Period”) ending June 30 of 2011 through and including 2015.

(i) If the AEBITDA for any applicable Measurement Period is equal to or greater than the Target AEBITDA, then earn-out amount for such Measurement Period shall be equal to the Annual Maximum for such Measurement Period and such amount shall be deemed earned as of the expiration of such Measurement Period and be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c) hereof.

(ii) If the AEBITDA for any applicable Measurement Period is less than the Target AEBITDA, then the earn-out amount for such Measurement Period shall be equal to (A) the Annual Maximum for such Measurement Period, minus (B) the amount by which the actual AEBITDA for such Measurement Period is less than the Target AEBITDA, and such amount shall be deemed earned as of the expiration of such Measurement Period and be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c) hereof.

(iii) Subject to Section 2.7(b) hereof, if the AEBITDA for any applicable Measurement Period is zero or negative then no earn-out amount for such Measurement Period shall be deemed earned or be payable by Purchasers to Sellers.

(b) If the Annual Maximum is not earned for any of the first four (4) Measurement Periods, then up to Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000) of the amount not earned may be recaptured (the “Recapture Maximum”) to the extent that the AEBITDA in the immediately subsequent Measurement Period is greater than the Target AEBITDA, in which case, the amount of the recapture earn-out shall be equal to the amount that the applicable AEBITDA exceeds the Target AEBITDA on a dollar for dollar basis, up to the Recapture Maximum for such immediately subsequent Measurement Period. Similarly, if the Annual Maximum is not earned in any of the final four (4) Measurement Periods, then up to Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000) of the amount not earned may carried forward (the “Carry-forward Maximum”) to the extent that the AEBITDA in the immediately prior Measurement Period is greater than the Target AEBITDA, in which case, the amount of the carry

forward earn-out shall be equal to the amount that the applicable AEBITDA exceeded the Target AEBITDA in the prior period on a dollar for dollar basis, up to the Carry-forward Maximum for such immediately prior Measurement Period. Any such recapture earn-out amount or carry-forward earn-out amount for any applicable Measurement Period shall be in addition to any earn-out amount earned by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) hereof for such applicable Measurement Period and shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c)If the Annual Maximum is not earned for any of the first four (4) Measurement Periods, then up to Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000) of the amount not earned may be recaptured (the “Recapture Maximum”) to the extent that the AEBITDA in the subsequent Measurement Period is greater than the Target AEBITDA, in which case, the amount of the recapture earn-out shall be equal to the amount that the applicable AEBITDA exceeds the Target AEBITDA on a dollar for dollar basis, up to the Recapture Maximum for such Measurement Period. Any such recapture earn-out amount for any Measurement Period shall be in addition to any earn-out amount earned by Sellers pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(i) hereof for such Measurement Period and shall be payable by Purchaser to Sellers as and when provided in Section 2.7(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total aggregate recapture earn-out and/or carry-forward earn-out for all measurement periods exceed Two Hundred Sixty Six Thousand Dollars ($266,000). By way of illustration only, if AEBITDA (x) for the first Measurement Period is $100,000 less than the Target AEBITDA, (y) for the second Measurement Period exceeds the Target AEBITDA by $350,000, and (z) for the third Measurement Period is $200,000 less than the Target AEBITDA, then Sellers shall be entitled to the following: for the first Measurement Period, the Annual Maximum earn-out, less $100,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar reduction by the amount that the actual AEBITDA for the first Measurement Period is less than the Target AEBITDA); for second Measurement Period, the Annual Maximum earn-out, plus a recapture earn-out of $100,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar recapture (up to the maximum aggregate recapture and carry-forward earn-out amount for all Measurement Periods of $266,000) by the amount that the AEBITDA for the second Measurement Period exceeded the Target AEBITDA as a recapture for the first Measurement Period by the amount that the Annual Maximum was not earned for the first Measurement Period); and for the third Measurement Period, the Annual Maximum earn-out, less $200,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar reduction by the amount that the actual AEBITDA for the third Measurement Period was less than the Target AEBITDA), plus a carry-forward earn-out amount of $166,000 (i.e., a dollar for dollar carry-forward (up to the maximum aggregate recapture and carry-forward earn-out for all Measurement Periods amount of $266,000) by the amount that the AEBITDA for the second Measurement Period exceeded the Target AEBITDA as a carry-forward for the third Measurement Period by the amount that the Annual Maximum was not earned for the third Measurement Period, but limited so that the total aggregate recapture earn-out paid for the first Measurement Period and the carry-forward earn-out for the third Measurement Period does not exceed $266,000.00).

(c) Except as expressly provided in Section 2.7(b) hereof, each earn-out amount (and/or recapture or carry-forward earn-out amounts) for each Measurement Period will stand alone and shall be achieved, if at all, and be calculated separately based upon the AEBITDA for such Measurement Period. Each earn-out amount earned by Sellers for any Measurement Period pursuant to Section 2.7(a) hereof, together with any recapture or carry-forward earn-out amounts earned by Sellers for such Measurement Period pursuant to Section 2.7(b) hereof, shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers within sixty (60) days after the applicable

Measurement Period ends (except that the for the last Measurement Period, such payment shall be made within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Medicare Cap Year immediately following such Measurement Period, or such earlier date as Purchaser and Sellers may mutually agree) (each, an “Earn-Out Payment Date”) by wire transfer to the accounts set forth on Schedule 2.7(c), and the allocation such earn-out amounts among Sellers shall be in accordance with Schedule 2.3 regardless of the amount that each Seller’s former Operations contributed to the AEBITDA. Sellers acknowledge and agree that the achievement of any earn-out amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7 is contingent upon the AEBITDA with respect to Seller’s Operations as a whole after the Closing Date and neither Purchaser nor its Representatives is guaranteeing that any level of AEBITDA will be achieved or that any of the earn-out amounts will be earned by Sellers.

(d) On or before each applicable Earn-Out Payment Date, Purchaser shall deliver Sellers’ Representative a written notice stating the amount, if any, of the applicable earn-out amount deemed earned during any applicable Measurement Period as determined by Purchaser (each an “Earn-Out Notice”), together with a reasonably detailed calculation of AEBITDA for the applicable Measurement Period. In the event Sellers’ Representative objects to any earn-out amount set forth an Earn-Out Notice, Sellers’ Representative must deliver to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of the date of such Earn-Out Notice a written notice setting forth the basis for such objections (an “Objection Notice”). If Sellers’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice, Purchaser and Sellers shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the applicable earn-out amount. If Purchaser and Sellers so agree in writing to the applicable earn-out amount, Purchaser shall, within five (5) business days of reaching such agreement pay to Sellers any additional amounts agreed upon. If, however, no agreement is reached after good-faith negotiations, either Purchaser or Sellers may demand arbitration of the dispute and the matters shall be resolved by confidential arbitration conducted by three independent arbitrators, one selected by Purchaser, one selected by Sellers, and the third (who must be independent of the parties hereto) selected jointly by the two arbitrators previously so selected. All arbitrators must be members of the CPR National Panel or CPR California Panel. The arbitrators shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery of information relating to any dispute while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate as determined in the sole judgment of the arbitrators, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrators shall rule upon motions to compel, limit or allow discovery as they shall deem appropriate given the nature and extent of the disputed claim. The arbitrators shall also have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred by the parties, to the same extent as a court of law or equity, if the arbitrators determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to by a party without substantial justification. The decision of a majority of the three arbitrators as to the earn-out amount related to the applicable Earn-Out Notice shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions of law regarding the dispute, which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order of the arbitrators. Judgment upon any award, judgment, decree or order rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in the City and County of Orange, California under the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration then currently in effect. The non-prevailing party (as determined by the arbitrators) to any arbitration under this Section 2.7 shall pay its own expenses, the fees of each arbitrator, the administrative costs of the arbitration

and the expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, incurred by the other party to the arbitration. Purchaser shall pay to Seller the amount of any additional earn-out amount deemed earned by the arbitrators within five (5) business days of notice of the arbitrators decision. If Sellers are the determined to be the non-prevailing party, Purchaser may deduct the fees of the arbitrators, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Purchaser out any amounts then owing to Sellers hereunder prior to payment of such amounts to Sellers. Any remaining amounts owing by Sellers to Purchaser on account of the fees of the arbitrators, the administrative costs of the arbitration and the expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, incurred by Purchaser, after any such deduction of amounts then owing by Purchaser to Sellers hereunder (if applicable), shall be paid by Sellers to Purchaser within five (5) business days of notice of the arbitrators decision.

Section 2.8. Allocation of Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the allocation of the payment of the Purchase Price among the Sellers as set forth on Schedule 2.3 attached hereto, Sellers and Purchaser hereby agree that within forty-five (45) days following the Closing, the parties jointly prepare and cooperate in good faith in completing IRS Forms 8594 in order to allocate the Closing Purchase Price among the Acquired Assets; provided, however, that the amount of the Closing Purchase Price allocated to the covenants not to compete contained herein shall in no event exceed an aggregate of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00). Such allocation, as reasonably and in good faith agreed upon by the parties, and as set forth in such completed IRS Forms 8594, shall be used for all purposes (including financial, accounting and tax purposes) (the “Purchase Price Allocation”). Any future increase or decrease in the Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to reflect the payment of the delayed cash payments pursuant to Section 2.3, any earn-out payments pursuant to Section 2.7 or any payments on account of Claims for Damages pursuant Article 10, shall be allocated to or deducted from the Purchase Price Allocation, as the case may be, on a pro rata basis among all of the Acquired Assets. It is agreed that the allocations under this Section 2.8 shall be binding on all parties for federal, state, local and other tax purposes in connection with the purchase and sale of the Acquired Assets and will be consistently reflected by each party on such party’s tax returns.

Section 2.9. Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at its own expense, file all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable Law, Purchaser will join in the execution of any such tax returns and other documentation.

Section 2.10. Deemed Assignment of Contracts. To the extent that the assignment hereunder of any of the Assumed Contracts shall require the consent of any other party (or in the event that any of the same shall be non-assignable), neither this Agreement nor any actions taken hereunder shall constitute an assignment or an agreement to assign if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or result in a loss or diminution thereof; provided, however, that Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser to establish a reasonable arrangement designed to provide Purchaser with the benefits and burdens of any

Assumed Contract, including appointing Purchaser to act as its agent to perform all of Sellers’ obligations under such Assumed Contract and to collect and promptly remit to Purchaser all compensation received by Sellers pursuant to such Assumed Contract and to enforce, for the account and benefit of Purchaser, any and all rights of Sellers against any other person arising out of the breach or cancellation of such Assumed Contract by such other person or otherwise (any and all of which arrangements shall constitute, as between the parties hereto, a deemed assignment or transfer); provided, however, that from and after Closing, Sellers shall have no liability to Purchaser in the event that any Assumed Contract requiring consent to assignment hereunder (or which by its terms is non-assignable) is terminated.

Such notice shall be in writing and shall be given within ten (10) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the Claim, and shall describe in reasonable detail (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount of Damages claimed; provided, however, that no delay or failure on the part of the Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligation hereunder, except to the extent of any Damage, liability or prejudice actually caused by or arising from such delay or failure. Within twenty (20) days after delivery of such notification, the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of the Claim, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided that:

(i) the Indemnifying Party may only assume control of such defense if:

(A) it acknowledges in writing to the Indemnified Party that any Damages, fines, costs or other liabilities which may be assessed against the Indemnified Party in connection with such Claim constitute Damages for which the Indemnified Party shall be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article 10, and

(B) the ad damnum of the Claim is less than or equal to the amount of Damages for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable pursuant to this Article 10, and

(ii) the Indemnifying Party may not assume control of the defense of any Claim in which criminal liability is asserted, or in which equitable relief is sought, against the Indemnified Party.

(b) If the Indemnifying Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, assume control of the defense of a Claim, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense. Whichever party, whether the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, does not

control the defense of a claim (the “Non-Controlling Party”) may participate in such defense at its own expense. Whichever party, whether the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a claim (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such Claim and the defense thereof, and shall consider, in good faith, any recommendations made by the Non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The Non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Claim, including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such Non-Controlling Party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same, and shall otherwise cooperate and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Claim. The expenses and reasonable fees of counsel to the Indemnified Party with respect to a Claim shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if:

(i) the Indemnified Party controls the defense of such Claim pursuant to the terms of this Section 10.4(b); or

(ii) the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) If the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification with respect to any matter that does not involve a claim asserted by a third party, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to the Indemnifying Party promptly after discovering the Damages or other liability and the facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification, describing the nature of the claim in reasonable detail, the amount of Damages related thereto (if known and quantifiable or, if not, a good faith estimate thereof), and the basis for indemnification hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days from the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of the indemnity notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed to indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of the Damages described in the indemnity notice. If the Indemnifying Party has delivered an indemnity dispute notice to the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the parties cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the indemnity dispute notice, such dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with Section 2.7(d).

Section 10.6. Subrogation. If an Indemnifying Party pays a claim of an Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights that the Indemnified Party may have against others for recovery of the Damages, and the Indemnified Party shall take all actions reasonably necessary to effect such subrogation rights of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 10.7. Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the obligations of an Indemnifying Party to indemnify an Indemnified Party and an Indemnified Party’s right to collect Damages under any theory of law or equity, shall be subject to the limitations set forth below:

(a) No claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Party may be asserted against an Indemnifying Party, and an Indemnifying Party shall not have any obligation for Damages to an Indemnified Party after the expiration of the forty (40) month following the Closing Date, unless the Indemnified Party has notified the Indemnifying Party of such Claim prior to the forty (40) month anniversary of the Closing Date and the notice specifies in detail the nature of the Claim; provided, however, there shall be no limit with respect to any Claim related to the breach or inaccuracy any of the Specified Representations.

(b) The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall no right to recover any amounts under Section 10.2(a) or 10.3(a) until the total amount of Damages incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under such Sections 10.2(a) and/or 10.3(a) exceed $25,000, in which case the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover all Damages in excess of such amount.

(c) Except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation and for Claims arising out of breaches of the Specified Representations, neither Sellers nor Beneficial Owners shall be required to indemnify or pay Damages pursuant to this Agreement in the aggregate, in excess of the amount of the then aggregate outstanding principal, at the time the latest notice or Claim by Purchaser for Damages or indemnification, owing by Purchaser to Sellers under the Promissory Notes.

Section 10.8. Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy; Right of Set Off.

(a) Except (i) for Purchaser’s obligations to pay the Purchase Price due after the Closing, (ii) as provided in Section 6.8(c) or (iii) as provided in any employment agreement between a Beneficial Owner and the Purchaser or its Affiliates, the indemnification provided in this Article 10 shall be the sole and exclusive post Closing remedy available to the parties to this Agreement under contract, tort or any other legal theory for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement by or on behalf of an Indemnifying Party or otherwise arising out of the transactions described in this Agreement, it being agreed that all of such other remedies, entitlements and recourse are expressly waived and released by the parties hereto to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6 hereof and the procedures set forth in Section 10.4 hereof, to the extent that Purchaser or its Affiliates is an Indemnified Party hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right to offset any amounts owed to Sellers pursuant to the Promissory Note or on account of any earn-out payments pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof against any amounts owed from or otherwise payable by Sellers to Purchaser and its Affiliates hereunder.

Section 10.9. No Punitive Damages. Notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement, except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or to the extent paid to a third party pursuant to a Claim, neither party shall be entitled to punitive

damages as a result of any cause of action arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.10. Characterization of Payments. Any payments made to any party pursuant to Article 10 shall constitute an adjustment of the Purchase Price for tax purposes and shall be treated as such by Purchaser and Sellers on their tax returns to the extent permitted by Law.

Section 12.5. Waiver. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of that provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be considered a waiver, or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist on strict adherence to any other term of this Agreement.

Section 12.6. Assignment and Binding Effect. This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party without the prior written consent of the non-assigning parties; provided, however, that Purchaser may, without the prior written consent of Sellers, assign or delegate all or any portion of its rights, or assign or delegate or any portion of its obligations under this Agreement to one or more Affiliates of Purchaser (including any Operating Subsidiary); provided, however, that Purchaser shall remain liable and responsible for compliance with all terms and obligations hereunder notwithstanding any such assignment or delegation. By

Purchaser’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser hereby delegates its right to acquire those Acquired Assets and its obligation to assume those Assumed Liabilities to each of its applicable Operating Subsidiaries as set forth on Schedule 12.6 attached hereto. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party, together with its respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 12.7. Construction and Interpretation. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Time is of the essence in the performance of all covenants of this Agreement.

Section 12.8. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any person not a party to this Agreement.

Section 12.9. Joint and Several Obligations of Sellers. The respective obligations and liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement and any certificate or other document delivered in connection herewith shall be joint and several.

Section 12.10. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of applicable law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated herein are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated herein are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 12.11. Headings. The headings of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 12.12. Counterparts; Execution. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile transmission) in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Signatures transmitted by facsimile or via other electronic transmission system shall be accepted as original signatures.

Section 12.13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles.

Section 12.14. Confidentiality of Agreement. Unless otherwise required by Law (including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), judicial process or pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., neither party shall disclose either the existence or the terms of this Agreement to any person other than the party’s

Representatives, or such other third parties with whom it must communicate to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 12.15. Exhibits and Schedules. All exhibits and schedules to this Agreement shall constitute part of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Agreement as if set out in full within the body hereof. Any disclosure in any schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to any representation or warranty in this Agreement.

Section 12.16. Expenses. Each party shall pay its own fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, without limitation, all legal expenses incident to the negotiation, preparation and performance of this Agreement.

Section 12.17. Survival. All of the covenants and agreements of the parties hereto to be observed or performed, in whole or in part, after the Closing in this Agreement shall survive the Closing to the extent required to effectuate the relevant post-Closing performance thereof.

Section 12.18. Sellers’ Representative. Each of the Sellers and Beneficial Owners hereby (a) irrevocably appoint, effective as of the Effective Time, D. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ to exercise the powers of Sellers’ Representative as provided in this Agreement, and (b) agree that Sellers Representative shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by him in connection with his capacity as Seller’s representative under this Agreement, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Sellers Representative shall be unable or unwilling to serve in such capacity, a successor shall be named by the Sellers entitled to receive at least 51% of the Cash Purchase Price.
