The Parent, Buyer, Seller and Target Company may hereinafter be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used as defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A. The authorized capital stock of the Target Company consists solely of 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of which 6,966,984 shares are issued and outstanding (the “Shares”). The Seller owns all of the Shares.

B. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Buyer shall buy from the Seller, and the Seller shall sell to the Buyer, all of the Shares.

C. As a result of the direct and indirect benefits to be received by Parent, Buyer, and Seller pursuant to this Agreement, including the payment of the Purchase Price by Buyer, on behalf of Parent, to Seller, and the purchase of the Shares by Buyer from Seller, Parent, Buyer and Seller each desire to make the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SALE AND PURCHASE

Section 1.1. Purchase by the Buyer. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing the Buyer shall buy from the Seller, and the Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to the Buyer, free and clear of all Liens, all of the Shares.

The Purchase Price shall be adjusted after Closing pursuant to Section 1.5 below; provided however, that in no circumstance will the Purchase Price be adjusted to greater than US $75,899,999.

Section 1.3. Indemnification Holdback. The Parties agree that, at Closing, US $3,000,000 of the Purchase Price plus the amount of the Estimated Tax Payment (“Indemnification Holdback”) shall be deposited into escrow with the Escrow Agent (the “Escrowed Cash”) to be held pursuant to the terms and conditions of a certain escrow agreement

(a) The Buyer shall transmit to Seller by wire transfer in immediately available funds the Purchase Price less the Escrowed Cash.

(b) The Buyer shall transmit to the Escrow Agent by wire transfer in immediately available funds the Escrowed Cash.

(i) A certificate representing all of the Shares, duly endorsed in the name of the Buyer (or as otherwise instructed by Buyer), with a medallion guarantee, or accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer satisfactory to the Buyer, in either case sufficient to convey to the Buyer title to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens;

(ii) All of the Target Company’s books and records the Seller has in its possession, including, without limitation, all minute books and other corporate records, employment records, financial and accounting records (including all financial statements and related work papers in the possession of Target Company) and other files of the Target Company;

(iii) Certificates of the President of the Seller and Target Company, respectively, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer attaching copies of resolutions duly adopted by the shareholders and members of Target Company and Seller, respectively, authorizing the execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

(iv) A certificate dated the Closing Date signed on behalf of the Seller by the President of the Seller to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 hereof have been satisfied;

(v) Certificates of good standing of the Seller and the Target Company certified by the appropriate public official of the jurisdiction of organization of such Person;

(vi) Such other instruments or documents as the Buyer shall reasonably request to evidence the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article V.

(vii) The ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Law firm, as counsel to the Target Company and Seller, shall, immediately prior to the Closing, have delivered to the Buyer a customary legal opinion, dated the Closing Date and addressed to the Buyer, in the form set forth on Schedule 1.3; and

(viii) An affidavit, sworn to under penalty of perjury, in the form and substance required under Section 1445 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, from the Persons required under Section 1445 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, stating that the Seller is not a “foreign person” as defined in Section 1445 of the Code.

(d) At the Closing, in addition to the delivery of the Purchase Price as set forth in subsection (a) above, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller:

(i) Certificates of officers of the Buyer and Parent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Seller attaching copies of resolutions duly adopted by the board of directors of the Buyer and Parent, respectively, authorizing the execution and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

(ii) A certificate dated the Closing Date signed on behalf of the Buyer and Parent by an officer of the Buyer and Parent to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied;

(iii) Certificates of good standing of the Buyer and Parent certified by the appropriate public official of the jurisdiction of organization of the Buyer and Parent; and

(iv) Such other instruments or documents as the Seller shall reasonably request to evidence the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI.

Section 1.5. Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted, under the procedure of Section 1.5(c) below, by the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount. The “Post-Closing Adjustment Amount”, which may be a positive or negative number, will be equal to the difference between (i) the Final Net Working Capital Amount and (ii) the Target Amount.

(b) One Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer and Parent, or shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Buyer

and Parent, a statement setting forth the estimated Closing Working Capital (collectively, “Closing Working Capital Statement”).

(c) If Buyer and Parent dispute the Seller’s Closing Working Capital Statement, Buyer or Parent shall, within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, prepare and deliver to Seller an objection notice with its version of a closing working capital statement (the “Final Closing Statement”) which sets forth in reasonable detail its calculation of the Closing Working Capital, determined in accordance with the definitions of Closing Working Capital. If Buyer or Parent fail to notify Seller in writing within this 60-day period that it objects to the Closing Working Capital Statement and specify in reasonable detail the basis for such objection(s) (the “Objection Notice”), the Closing Working Capital Statement shall become final, binding and conclusive for all purposes. If Buyer or Parent timely delivers the Objection Notice to Seller, then Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve all of Buyer’s objections within the thirty (30) day period following the delivery of the Objection Notice and, if Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all of Buyer’s objections within such period, all remaining matters in dispute shall be submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm which shall be instructed by the Parties to make a final determination within 30 days with respect to all matters remaining in dispute as soon as practical and the determination of such matters by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes. The Parties agree to fully cooperate with the Independent Accounting Firm in its resolution of any matter in dispute. The Closing Working Capital Statement of the Target Company as of Closing as determined in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.5(c) is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Net Working Capital Amount.”

(d) If the Final Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Target Amount (“Surplus”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Net Working Capital Amount has been determined in accordance with Section 1.5(c) above, Buyer shall pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the lesser of (i) any Surplus and (ii) the difference between (A) US $75,899,999 less (B) the Purchase Price.

(e) If the Final Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Target Amount (“Deficit”), then, within three (3) Business Days after the Final Net Working Capital Amount has been determined in accordance with Section 1.5(c) above, Seller and Buyer shall execute a written instruction letter directing the Escrow Agent to release to Buyer that portion of the Escrowed Cash equal to the Deficit, and if the Deficit exceeds the Escrowed Cash amount, Seller shall pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds the amount by which such excess is greater than the Escrowed Cash amount.

Section 1.6. Excluded and Assigned Liabilities. Schedule 1.6 sets forth a list of Liabilities comprised of certain pending litigation matters that are excluded from this Agreement (“Excluded and Assigned Liabilities”). The Seller and the Target Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to ensure neither the Buyer, Parent nor the Target Company shall assume or be obligated to satisfy any of the Excluded and Assigned Liabilities following the Closing.

(b) The Seller has the necessary limited liability company power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which it is a party, to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements to which Seller is a party, the performance by Seller of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of the Seller.

This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Agreements and instruments to be executed and delivered by the Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will constitute valid and binding agreements of the Seller, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, subject to the effect of receivership, conservatorship and subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding at law or in equity).

The Seller shall timely and properly prepare, execute, file and deliver all such documents, forms and other information as Buyer may reasonably request to prepare such allocation. Neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns or otherwise) that is inconsistent with such allocation unless required to do so by applicable law. The Seller shall include in its respective federal, state and local income Tax Returns for the taxable period which includes the Closing Date any forms necessary or required from the deemed sale.

to such representation or warranty, which qualification or requirement limits the scope of such representation or warranty and, giving effect thereto, renders such representation or warranty accurate.

Section 10.3. Limitations on Indemnification Obligations. The indemnification provided for in Section 10.2 hereof shall be subject to the following limitations:

(a) The Seller shall not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees for indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(a)(ii) hereof until the aggregate amount of all Damages in respect of indemnification under Section 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(a)(ii) exceeds US $500,000 (the “Deductible”), in which event the Seller shall only be required to pay or be liable for Damages in excess of the Deductible.

(b) The aggregate amount of all Damages for which the Seller shall be liable the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(a) hereof shall not exceed US $5,000,000.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations contained in Sections 10.3(a) and 10.3(b) hereof will not limit the Seller’s obligations to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees in respect of any Damages that any Buyer Indemnitee may suffer, sustain, or become subject to, as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or with respect to any and all breaches of the Fundamental Representations; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of all Damages for which the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees under this Section 10.3(c) as result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or with respect to any and all breaches of the Fundamental Representations shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(d) Payments by the Seller pursuant to Section 10.2(a) in respect of any Damages shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds received by the Buyer or the Target Company in respect of any such claim (net of deductibles or other Damages incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee as a result of such claim, all direct collection expenses and any increased premium costs).

(e) In calculating the amount of Damages related to a breach of or inaccuracy in a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement hereunder (and for purposes of determining whether a breach or inaccuracy has occurred), the Seller shall have no liability for any Damages under this Agreement to the extent such Damages were taken into account as a liability or a reduction in the value of assets in determining the Final Net Working Capital Amount.

Section 10.4. Indemnification Procedures.

(a) Claim Notices. Each Indemnified Party shall provide written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any claim or demand that it may have under Article VIII or this Article X (a “Claim Notice”), and, in the event that there is asserted against an Indemnified Party any claim, demand, action, proceeding or investigation instituted by other than a Buyer Indemnitee for which the Indemnifying Party may be obligated to

indemnify hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall provide a Claim Notice with respect thereto promptly following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. A Claim Notice with respect to a claim other than a Third Party Claim shall contain a brief summary of the facts underlying or related to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, the subsection(s) of Section 10.2 pursuant to which the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification, a list of those representations, warranties and covenants that the Indemnified Party believes may have been breached in relation to such claim, and a statement that the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification for Damages relating to such claim. A Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim shall contain a brief summary of the facts underlying or relating to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party and any correspondence or notices (including court papers) received from the relevant third party (to the extent not prohibited by contract or applicable legal requirement from furnishing), a list of those representations, warranties and covenants that the Indemnified Party believes may have been breached in relation to such claim and a statement that the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification for Damages relating to such claim. A Claim Notice need not state the amount of Damages that the Indemnified Party believes it has incurred or suffered relating to such claim. From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, within ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall provide to the Indemnifying Party on written request all information and documentation reasonably necessary to support and verify the Damages which the Indemnified Party believes give rise to a claim for indemnification and shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to all books, records and personnel in the possession or under the control of the Indemnified Party which would have bearing on such claim.

(b) Control of Contests by Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at its own expense, the settlement or defense of any Third Party Claim (unless (x) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Third Party Claim and provide indemnification with respect thereto, or (y) the Indemnified Party has determined in good faith that such Third Party Claim may materially adversely affect it or its Affiliates other than as a result of monetary damages). Unless the Indemnified Party shall have notified the Indemnifying Party of the existence of one or more of the conditions set forth in clause (x) or (y) of the preceding sentence, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days (or such lesser number of days set forth in the Claim Notice as may be required by any Governmental Authority, any court proceedings or regulatory inquiry or investigation) from receipt of the Claim Notice with respect to a Third Party Claim (the “Notice Period”) to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it elects to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, it shall be conclusively established for

purposes of this Agreement that the Indemnifying Party is obligated to and shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party from, against and in respect of all Damages incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party to the extent arising from such Third Party Claim, subject only to the limitations contained in Section 10.3 and all Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense prior to any such assumption shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it elects to defend such Third Party Claim, it shall have the right to so defend, with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party that is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Once the Indemnifying Party has duly assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in the defense thereof, including the opportunity to participate in any discussions or correspondence with any Governmental Authority, and to employ counsel separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnified Party shall participate in any such defense at its own expense unless (x) the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are both named parties to the proceedings and the Indemnified Party shall have concluded in good faith that representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them or the availability to the Indemnified Party of one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, or (y) the Indemnified Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim after the Indemnifying Party has failed to diligently pursue a Third Party Claim it has assumed, as provided in the first sentence of Section 10.4(c), and in the case of (x) or (y), all such expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such participation shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) Control of Contests by Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party (x) elects not to defend the Indemnified Party against a Third Party Claim, whether by not giving the Indemnified Party timely notice of its desire to so defend or otherwise, (y) is not entitled to defend the Third Party Claim as a result of the Indemnified Party’s election to defend the Third Party Claim as provided in Section 10.4(b), or (z) after assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, fails to conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim in a reasonably diligent manner within ten (10) days after receiving written notice from the Indemnified Party to the effect that the Indemnifying Party has so failed, the Indemnified Party shall have the right but not the obligation to assume its own defense; it being understood that the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification for such Third Party Claim shall not be adversely affected by assuming the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(d) Settlement of Claims. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its prior written consent and the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of judgment, admit any Liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless (x) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Legal Requirement or any violation of the rights of

any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (y) there is no imposition of a consent order, decree or injunction that would restrict the future activity of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates and (z) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are concurrently paid in full by the Indemnifying Party and a full and complete release is provided to the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates.

(e) Cooperation. Each Party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates to cooperate, in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith. Such cooperation also shall include the retention and, upon the Indemnifying Party’s request, the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information which are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder; provided that, such cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of such Party. All Damages reasonably incurred or suffered by the Indemnified Party in connection with responding to, complying with or satisfying the Indemnifying Party’s requests for cooperation shall be promptly reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party disputes the amount of, or otherwise refuses or fails to reimburse, any such Damages which the Indemnified Party has incurred and for which the Indemnified Party has sought reimbursement from the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not be obligated to continue providing cooperation with respect to the defense of the relevant Third Party Claim until such dispute has been resolved or all such Damages have been reimbursed in full.

(f) Related Claim Notices. At any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered a Claim Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 10.4(a) such Indemnified Party in its discretion may supplement or amend such Claim Notice to provide further more detailed information relating to the claim covered by the original Claim Notice, including by delivery of any correspondence, notice or other communication relating to the claim covered by the original Claim Notice. In addition, at any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered a Claim Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 10.4(a) (an “Original Claim Notice”) such Indemnified Party in its discretion may deliver one or more separate Claim Notices independently meeting the content requirements of Section 10.4(a) relating to one or more claims, including a Third Party Claim, that arise out of the same or similar facts, events, circumstances or conditions that gave rise to the Original Claim Notice (each, a “Related Claim Notice”). In addition, at any time after an Indemnified Party has delivered a Claim Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 10.4(a) with respect to a claim other than a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party in its discretion may deliver a notice which attaches the original Claim Notice, sets forth a summary in reasonable detail of the facts underlying or relating to such claim to the extent then known by the Indemnified Party, includes a statement demanding indemnification from the Indemnifying Party and includes a statement of the amount of Damages for which the Indemnified Party seeks indemnification at that time (a “Demand Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall have

twenty (20) Business Days from the date on which the Indemnified Party delivers a Demand Notice during which to notify the Indemnified Party in writing of any objections it has to the Indemnified Party’s notice or claims for indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party does not deliver such written notice of objection to such Demand Notice within such twenty (20) Business Day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice. If the Indemnifying Party accepts the claim as set forth in the Demand Notice, it shall have twenty (20) Business Days from the date of acceptance to pay such claim and if the Indemnifying Party rejects the claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to initiate Action in accordance with Section 11.7 to seek enforcement of its rights to indemnification under this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall have no right to participate in or control any claim that is not a Third Party Claim. For the avoidance of doubt, the delivery by the Indemnified Party of one or more supplements or amendments to a Claim Notice or of a Demand Notice as contemplated by this Section 10.4(f) shall not be (i) deemed the delivery of a new Claim Notice or the revocation of the original Claim Notice for purposes of this Article X and (ii) shall not alter or undermine the timeliness of the original Claim Notice for purposes of this Article X. For the avoidance of doubt, a Related Claim Notice shall for all purposes hereunder be treated as a separate Claim Notice, independent of the relevant Original Claim Notice; provided, however, that, any representation and warranty that is alleged to have been breached in such Related Claim Notice shall survive until the final resolution of such breach if an Original Claim Notice satisfying the content requirements of Section 10.4 and alleging breach of such representation and warranty was delivered on or prior to the date on which such representation and warranty ceases to survive as specified in Section 10.1.

(g) Third Party Beneficiaries. Buyer Indemnitees shall be intended third party beneficiaries of the indemnification obligations of the Buyer and Parent and the Seller, respectively, in this Article X.

Section 10.5. Remedies Exclusive. The remedies provided in this Article X constitute the sole and exclusive remedies available to each Party hereto for recoveries against another Party hereto for any breaches or failures to comply with or non-fulfillment of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement, except that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of any Party to pursue any appropriate remedy at equity or any appropriate remedy based upon allegations of fraud in connection with this Agreement. The provisions of this Article X shall apply to claims for indemnification asserted as between the Parties hereto as well as to third-party claims, other than a claim under Section 1.4.

Section 10.6. Mitigation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other with respect to resolving any indemnifiable claim, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or Liability. Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any claims or Liabilities that may provide a basis for an indemnifiable claim such that each Party shall respond to any claims or Liabilities in the same manner it would respond to such claims or Liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.7. Recoupment Against Escrow Agreement. Any indemnification to which a Buyer Indemnitee is entitled under this Agreement as a result of any Damages it may incur shall first be made as a payment to such Buyer Indemnitee from the Indemnification Holdback held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

Section 10.8. Treatment of Payments. All payments made pursuant to this Article X shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement.
