D. In order to induce the Buyer to enter into this Agreement, the Equity Holders have agreed to join in this Agreement for the purposes set forth herein.

Now, therefore, in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE; CLOSING

1.1 Purchase and Sale. At the Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Buyer shall purchase from the Seller, and the Seller shall sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to the Buyer, all of the Outstanding Stock, free and clear of all Liens.

1.2 Purchase Price. At the Closing, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller for the Outstanding Stock an aggregate cash purchase price (the “Initial Purchase Price”) equal to (a) $90,000,000, (b) minus all loans or similar borrowings (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding credit card obligations, capital lease obligations, customer prepayments and accounts payable to vendors, in each case incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business) of the Company and the Subsidiaries set forth on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet (other than the loans or similar borrowings listed on Schedule 1.2 attached hereto), and (c) as applicable, (i) minus the amount by which the Target Amount exceeds the Preliminary Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet or (ii) plus the amount by which the

Preliminary Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet exceeds the Target Amount; provided, however, that there shall be no adjustment pursuant to this clause (c) of Section 1.2 if the amount of the adjustment would be less than $183,750 (the “Working Capital Deductible”) and any adjustment paid shall only be for amounts by which such adjustment exceeds the Working Capital Deductible. $9,000,000 of the Initial Purchase Price (the “General Escrow Amount”) shall be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7(a) hereof, and an additional $3,500,000 of the Initial Purchase Price (the “Special Escrow Amount”) shall be placed in escrow with the Escrow Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.7(b) hereof. The remainder of the Initial Purchase Price shall be payable at the Closing as described in Section 1.4 below and shall be subject to adjustment after the Closing as provided in Section 1.6.

1.3 The Closing. The Closing shall take place at the offices of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time on the Closing Date, or such other time and place as the Parties mutually agree.

1.4 Actions at the Closing. At the Closing:

(a) the Company and the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.1;

(b) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the various certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section 7.2;

(c) the Buyer, the Seller and the Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement and the Buyer shall pay the General Escrow Amount and the Special Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent;

(d) the Buyer shall pay the Initial Purchase Price less the sum of the General Escrow Amount and the Special Escrow Amount to the Seller in accordance with instructions provided by the Seller to the Buyer not less than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date; and

(e) the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer stock certificates representing all of the Outstanding Stock, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank.

1.5 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the Buyer’s request and without further consideration, the Seller shall promptly execute and deliver such instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and take all such other action as the Buyer may reasonably request, to transfer, convey and assign to the Buyer, and to confirm the Buyer’s title to, all of the Outstanding Stock, to put the Buyer in actual possession and operating control of the assets, properties and business of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to assist the Buyer in exercising all rights with respect thereto and to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement.

1.6 Adjustment Before and After the Closing. The Initial Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(a) Not later than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer a balance sheet of the Company (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”) as of the end of the month immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet Date”). The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with the provisions relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet set forth in this Section 1.6. The Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by (i) all relevant backup materials and schedules, in detail reasonably acceptable to the Buyer, and (ii) a statement setting forth the amount, if any, by which the estimated Closing Working Capital (the “Preliminary Closing Working Capital”) is less than or greater than the Target Amount.

(b) Not later than 45 calendar days after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the Closing Balance Sheet. Notwithstanding any requirement of GAAP to the contrary, the Closing Balance Sheet shall include all of the line items included on the illustrative balance sheet as of January 31, 2010 set forth on Schedule 1.6 attached hereto, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include accruals for all severance Liabilities and retention and change in control payments arising from the acquisition of the Company by the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement (and without regard to any post-Closing action taken by the Company, any Subsidiary or the Buyer) as a result of obligations or agreements in effect prior to the Closing, and shall not include any line items that are not included on such Schedule 1.6. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.6, the amounts on each such line item shall be determined in accordance with GAAP.

(c) The Closing Balance Sheet delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(b) shall be accompanied by (i) all relevant backup materials and schedules, in detail reasonably acceptable to the Seller, and (ii) a statement setting forth the amount, if any, by which the Closing Working Capital is greater than, or less than, the Preliminary Closing Working Capital. The Buyer shall afford the authorized representatives of the Seller reasonable access upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours to such additional records as the Seller shall reasonably request in connection with its review of the Closing Balance Sheet; provided that such review shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the businesses and operations of the Buyer, the Company or the Subsidiaries.

(d) In the event that the Seller disputes the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (as defined below), the Seller shall notify the Buyer in writing (the “Dispute Notice”) of the amount, nature and basis of such dispute, within 30 calendar days after delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet. Any such Dispute Notice shall specify those items or amounts as to which the Seller disagrees, and the Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet and the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment delivered pursuant to Sections 1.6(b) and 1.6(c). In the event of such a dispute, the Buyer and the Seller shall first use their Reasonable Best Efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items or amounts in order to determine the Closing Working Capital Adjustment, which amount shall not be less than the Buyer’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 1.6(c) nor more than the Seller’s calculation

delivered pursuant to this Section 1.6(d). If the Buyer and the Seller are unable to resolve the dispute within 30 calendar days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, then any remaining items in dispute shall be submitted to the Neutral Accountant. All determinations and calculations pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) shall consider only those items or amounts on the Closing Balance Sheet or the Buyer’s calculation of Closing Working Capital as to which the Seller has disagreed, shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the Buyer and the Seller as promptly as practicable. The determination of the Neutral Accountant as to the resolution of any dispute shall be binding and conclusive upon all Parties. A judgment on the determination made by the Neutral Accountant pursuant to this Section 1.6 may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction thereover.

(e) The fees and expenses of the Neutral Accountant in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to Section 1.6(d) shall be shared equally by the Seller and the Buyer; provided that if the Neutral Accountant determines that one (1) such Party has adopted a position or positions with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Closing Working Capital Adjustment that is frivolous or clearly without merit, the Neutral Accountant may, in its discretion, assign a greater portion of any such fees and expenses to such Party.

(f) Immediately upon the expiration of the 30 calendar day period for giving the Dispute Notice, if no such notice is given, or upon notification by the Seller to the Buyer, that no such notice will be given, or immediately upon the resolution of disputes, if any, pursuant to this Section 1.6, (i) if the absolute difference between the Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet and the Target Amount is less than or equal to the Working Capital Deductible, the Initial Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased by the opposite amount by which the Initial Purchase Price was initially increased or decreased pursuant to Section 1.2(c), if any, or (ii) if the absolute difference between the Closing Working Capital and the Target Amount is greater than the Working Capital Deductible, the Initial Purchase Price shall be (A) decreased to the extent the Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet is less than the Preliminary Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet or (B) increased to the extent the Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet exceeds the Preliminary Closing Working Capital as reflected on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet; provided, however, that any adjustment shall only be for amounts that are above and below the Target Amount by an amount greater than the Working Capital Deductible (such increased or decreased Initial Purchase Price, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”). Any difference between the Initial Purchase Price and the Adjusted Purchase Price shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Working Capital Adjustment” and shall be paid as follows:

(i) If the Closing Working Capital Adjustment is negative, then the Buyer shall be entitled to recover the Closing Working Capital Adjustment from the General Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, and the Buyer and the Seller shall jointly notify the Escrow Agent within three (3) business days after such determination; and

(ii) If the Closing Working Capital Adjustment is positive, then, within 10 business days after such determination, the Buyer shall pay to the Seller an amount in immediately available funds equal to 90% of such Closing Working Capital Adjustment, and 10% of such Closing Working Capital Adjustment shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and held in the General Escrow Fund.

1.7 Escrow Arrangements.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver the General Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent and establish the General Escrow Fund for purposes of (a) providing security for any adjustment to the amount of the Initial Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.6 and (b) securing the indemnification obligations of the Equity Holders and the Seller set forth in Article VIII (but excluding Section 8.2). The General Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The General Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(b) On the Closing Date, the Buyer shall deliver the Special Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent and establish the Special Escrow Fund for purposes of securing the indemnification obligations of the Equity Holders and the Seller set forth in Article VIII with respect to the Special Obligations. The Special Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The Special Escrow Fund shall be held as a trust fund and shall not be subject to any Lien, attachment, trustee process or any other judicial process of any creditor of any party, and shall be held and disbursed solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

1.8 Withholding. The Buyer or any of its designees shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment payable by the Buyer to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as the Buyer or its designee determines that it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any applicable Laws and Regulations. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller.

6.4 Access to Information.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary to) afford the officers, attorneys, accountants, tax advisors, lenders and other authorized representatives of the Buyer reasonable access upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours to all personnel, offices, properties, books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries, so that the Buyer may have full opportunity to make such investigation as it shall desire to make of the management, business, properties and affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and the Buyer shall be permitted to make abstracts from, or copies of, all such books and records; provided that such investigation shall be conducted in a manner intended to minimize any material disruption of the businesses and operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries. The Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary to) furnish to the Buyer such financial and operating data and other information as to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries as the Buyer shall reasonably request.

(b) Within 15 business days after the end of each month ending prior to the Closing, beginning with March 31, 2010, the Company shall furnish to the Buyer an unaudited income statement for such month and a balance sheet as of the end of such month, prepared on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. Such financial statements shall present fairly the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and for the periods covered thereby, and shall be consistent with the books and records of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

6.5 Notice of Breaches. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company, the Seller and each Equity Holder shall promptly deliver to the Buyer supplemental information concerning events or circumstances occurring subsequent to the date hereof which would render any

representation, warranty or statement of the Company, the Seller or any Equity Holder in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule incomplete or inaccurate in any material respect at any time after the date of this Agreement until the Closing. No such supplemental information shall be deemed to avoid or cure any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or constitute an amendment of any representation, warranty or statement in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (a) such supplemental information relates to an event or circumstance arising after the date of this Agreement (without breach of Section 6.3 or Section 6.6), (b) such supplemental information is accompanied by a written statement from the Seller and the Company informing the Buyer of the Seller’s and the Company’s belief that the Buyer is entitled to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 10.1(b) as a result of such supplemental information (which statement shall be binding on the Seller and the Company) (such written statement, a “Buyer Termination Right Notice”) and (c) the Buyer would, in fact, have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.1(b) as a result of the information so disclosed and it does not exercise such right prior to the Closing, then such supplemental information shall constitute an amendment of the representation, warranty or statement to which it relates for purpose of Article VIII such that the Buyer shall not be entitled to indemnification under Article VIII with respect to such matter to the extent of the information so disclosed; provided, however, that if such supplemental information is provided to the Buyer less than two (2) business days prior to the scheduled Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be deferred by two (2) business days to provide the Buyer with sufficient time to evaluate such information.

6.6 Exclusivity.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Buyer will pay all fees and expenses (including legal and accounting fees and expenses) incurred by it in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the Seller will pay all fees and expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Equity Holders, the Seller and the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.8 Access to Customers and Suppliers. The Company shall, if requested by the Buyer, introduce the Buyer to customers and suppliers of the Company and the Subsidiaries for the purpose of facilitating the post-Closing integration of the Company and the Subsidiaries and their businesses into that of the Buyer; provided that if the Buyer requests any such introduction, the Company shall be entitled to have a representative present, in person or telephonically, at such introduction and at any additional meetings between the Buyer and such customer or supplier that are held prior to the Closing and relate to post-Closing integration and other matters arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to make any such introduction if such introduction would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

6.9 Proprietary Information.

(a) From and after the Closing, the Equity Holders, the Seller and each of their respective Affiliates shall not disclose or make use of any information relating to the business of the Company or any Subsidiary that provides the Company, any such Subsidiary or the Buyer with a competitive advantage (or that could be used to the disadvantage of the Company, any Subsidiary or the Buyer by a competitive business), which is not generally known by, nor easily learned or determined by, Persons outside the Company (collectively referred to herein as “Proprietary Information”), including: (i) specifications, manuals, products and software in various stages of development, and other technical data; (ii) customer and prospect lists, details of agreements and communications with customers and prospects, and other customer information; (iii) sales plans and projections, product pricing information, protocols, acquisition, expansion, marketing, financial and other business information and existing and future products and business plans and strategies of the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Buyer; (iv) sales proposals, demonstrations systems and sales material; (v) research and development; (vi) software systems, computer programs and source codes; (vii) sources of supply; (viii) identity of specialized consultants and contractors and Proprietary Information developed by them for the Company or any Subsidiary; (ix) purchasing, operating and other cost data; (x) special customer needs, cost and pricing data; and (xi) employee information (including personnel, payroll, compensation and benefit data and plans), including all such information recorded in manuals, memoranda, projections, reports, minutes, plans, drawings, sketches, designs, data, specifications, software programs and records, whether or not legended or otherwise identified by the Company, the Subsidiaries or the Buyer as Proprietary Information, as well as such information that is the subject of meetings and discussions and not recorded.

Proprietary Information shall not include such information that the Equity Holders and the Seller can demonstrate (A) is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure by an Equity Holder, the Seller or an Affiliate of any of them), (B) was disclosed to the Equity Holder or the Seller by a third party under no obligation to keep such information confidential or (C) was independently developed by the Equity Holder or the Seller without reference to Proprietary Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller, its Affiliates and the Equity Holders shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any of the Proprietary Information to the extent disclosure thereof is required by law or regulation; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law or regulation, the Equity Holders and the Seller shall use best efforts to provide the Buyer with prompt advance notice of such requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order.

(b) The Seller and each Equity Holder agree that the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 6.9 would be inadequate and that the Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive relief in addition to any other remedy it may have upon breach of any provision of this Section 6.9.

Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer and to the Internal Revenue Service a notice, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, certifying that the Outstanding Stock is not a “U.S. real property interest” in accordance with Treasury Regulations under Sections 897 and 1445 of the Code If the Buyer does not receive the notice described above on or before the Closing Date, the Buyer shall be permitted to withhold from the payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement any required withholding Tax under Section 1445 of the Code.

6.11 Section 280G Approval. Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the Company to, and the Company shall and shall cause the Subsidiaries to, obtain a written waiver from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code) of his or her right to any and all payments or other benefits that could be deemed “parachute payments” under Section 280G(b) of the Code (determined without regard to Sections 280G(b)(4) and 280G(b)(5) of the Code) if such payments are not approved by the applicable entity’s stockholders in a manner that satisfies the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) and any regulations thereunder. After obtaining such written waivers and prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the Company to, and the Company shall and shall cause the Subsidiaries to, solicit stockholder approval of any and all such payments or benefits in a manner that satisfies the requirements for the exemption under Section 280G(b)(5)(A)(ii) of the Code and any regulations issued thereunder, including the provision of adequate disclosure to all applicable stockholders of all material facts concerning all payments that, in the absence of such stockholder approval, could be classified as “parachute payments” to a “disqualified individual” under Section 280G of the Code. The Seller shall cause the Company to, and the Company shall and shall cause the Subsidiaries to, provide such adequate disclosure to the applicable stockholders in a manner that satisfies Section 280G(b)(5)(B)(ii) of the Code and any regulations issued thereunder. The form of waiver, solicitation of approval, and disclosure materials shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer, which shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review such documents before the waivers and approval are sought.

6.13 Indemnification of Directors and Officers

(a) From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, cause the Company and the Subsidiaries, for a period of six (6) years after the Closing, to honor all of the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ obligations to indemnify and hold harmless each present and former director and officer of the Company and the Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, Liabilities or amounts paid in settlement incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to matters existing or occurring at or prior to the Closing, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing, to the extent that such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless exist on the date of this Agreement; provided, however, that such indemnification obligations shall only be with respect to matters arising in connection with such director’s or officer’s service as a director or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary, and not in any other capacity; provided further, that in no event shall the Buyer, the Company or any Subsidiary have any obligation pursuant to this Section 6.13(a) with respect to matters for which the Buyer is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1 or 8.2.

(b) Prior to the Closing, the Buyer shall purchase a six (6)-year pre-paid extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy covering acts or omissions occurring prior to the Closing Date with respect to those directors and officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries who are currently covered by such policy on terms with respect to coverage and amount no less favorable to such directors and officers than those of such policy in effect on the date hereof; provided, however, that the Seller shall either (i) reimburse the Buyer for one-half of the premium for such extended reporting period endorsement prior to the Closing or (ii) accrue for one-half of the premium for such extended reporting period endorsement on both the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Balance Sheet; provided further, that in no event shall the overall cost of such extended reporting period endorsement be more than $100,000.

(h) any of the matters denoted with “##” in the Disclosure Schedule and any claim with respect thereto.

8.2 Indemnification by the Equity Holders. If the Closing occurs, each Equity Holder, severally with respect to itself and not any other Equity Holder, shall indemnify the Buyer in respect of, and hold it harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by the Company, the Buyer or any Affiliate thereof resulting from, relating to or constituting:

(a) any breach, as of the date of this Agreement or as of the Closing Date, of any representation of such Equity Holder contained in Article IV of this Agreement; and

(b) any failure to perform any covenant or agreement of such Equity Holder contained in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement.

8.3 Indemnification Claims.

(a) The Buyer shall give written notification to the Notified Party of the commencement of any Third Party Action. Such notification shall be given within 20 calendar days after receipt by the Buyer of notice of such Third Party Action, and shall describe in

reasonable detail (to the extent then known by the Buyer) the facts constituting the basis for such Third Party Action and the amount of the claimed damages. No delay or failure on the part of the Buyer in so notifying the Notified Party shall relieve the Equity Holders or the Seller of any Liability hereunder except to the extent of any damage or Liability caused by or arising out of such delay or failure. Within 20 calendar days after delivery of such notification, the Notified Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Buyer, assume control of the defense of such Third Party Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer; provided that (i) the Notified Party may only assume control of such defense if (A) it acknowledges in writing to the Buyer that any damages, fines, costs or other Liabilities that may be assessed against the Buyer in connection with such Third Party Action constitute Damages for which the Buyer shall be indemnified pursuant to this Article VIII, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, and (B) the ad damnum in such Third Party Action, taken together with the estimated costs of defense thereof and the Claimed Amount with respect to any unresolved claims for indemnification then pending, is less than or equal to 150% of the current balance of the General Escrow Fund, in the case of a Third Party Action that is unrelated to the Special Obligations, or 150% of the current aggregate balance of the General Escrow Fund and the Special Escrow Fund, in the case of a Third Party Action that relates to the Special Obligations, and (ii) the Notified Party may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action involving Taxes (except to the extent separately addressed in Section 9.4) or criminal Liability or in which equitable relief is sought against the Buyer. If the Notified Party does not, or is not permitted under the terms hereof to, so assume control of the defense of a Third Party Action, the Buyer shall control such defense. The Non-Controlling Party may participate in such defense at its own expense. The Controlling Party shall keep the Non-Controlling Party advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith 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 Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action. The fees and expenses of counsel to the Buyer with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Buyer controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.3(a) or (ii) the Notified Party assumes control of such defense and the Buyer has conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action. The Notified Party shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that the consent of the Buyer shall not be required if the Notified Party agrees in writing to pay any amounts payable pursuant to such settlement or judgment and such settlement or judgment includes a complete release of the Buyer from further Liability and has no other adverse effect on the Buyer. Except as provided in Section 8.3(f) below, the Buyer shall not agree to any settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such Third Party Action without the prior written consent of the Notified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(b) In order to seek indemnification under this Article VIII, the Buyer shall deliver a Claim Notice to the Notified Party (with a copy to the Seller in the case of a claim pursuant to Section 8.2).

(c) Within 30 calendar days after delivery of a Claim Notice, the Notified Party shall deliver to the Buyer a Response, in which the Notified Party shall (i) agree that the Buyer is entitled to receive all of the Claimed Amount (in which case (A) if the indemnification was sought pursuant to Section 8.1, the Response shall be accompanied by a letter from the Seller instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Buyer from the General Escrow Fund or the Special Escrow Fund, as applicable, an amount in cash equal to the Claimed Amount or (b) if the indemnification was sought pursuant to Section 8.2, the Response shall be accompanied by an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Claimed Amount), (ii) agree that the Buyer is entitled to receive the Agreed Amount (in which case (A) if the indemnification was sought pursuant to Section 8.1, the Response shall be accompanied by a letter from the Seller instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Buyer from the General Escrow Fund or the Special Escrow Fund, as applicable, an amount in cash equal to the Agreed Amount or (b) if the indemnification was sought pursuant to Section 8.2, the Response shall be accompanied by an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Agreed Amount) or (iii) dispute that the Buyer is entitled to receive any of the Claimed Amount. The Notified Party may contest the payment of all or a portion of the Claimed Amount only based upon a good faith belief that all or such portion of the Claimed Amount does not constitute Damages for which the Buyer is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII. If no Response is delivered by the Notified Party within such 30-day period, and (i) indemnification was sought by the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1, the Equity Holders and the Seller shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Buyer or (ii) indemnification was sought by the Buyer pursuant to Section 8.2, the applicable Equity Holder shall be deemed to have agreed that all of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Buyer. Acceptance by the Buyer of partial payment of any Claimed Amount shall be without prejudice to the Buyer’s right to claim the balance of any such Claimed Amount.

(d) During the 30-day period following the delivery of a Response that reflects a Dispute, the Notified Party and the Buyer shall use good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute. If the Dispute is not resolved within such 30-day period, the Notified Party and the Buyer shall discuss in good faith the submission of the Dispute to binding arbitration, and if the Notified Party and the Buyer agree in writing to submit the Dispute to such arbitration, then the provisions of Section 8.3(e) shall become effective with respect to such Dispute. The provisions of this Section 8.3(d) shall not obligate the Notified Party and the Buyer to submit to arbitration or any other alternative dispute resolution procedure with respect to any Dispute, and in the absence of an agreement by the Notified Party and the Buyer to arbitrate a Dispute, such Dispute shall be resolved in a state or federal court sitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, in accordance with Section 12.11. If the Buyer is seeking to enforce the claim that is the subject of the Dispute pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, the Seller and the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), a written notice executed by both parties instructing the Escrow Agent as to what (if any) portion of the General Escrow Fund or the Special Escrow Fund, as applicable, shall be distributed to the Buyer (which notice shall be consistent with the terms of the resolution of the Dispute). If the Buyer is seeking to enforce the claim pursuant to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, the applicable Equity Holder shall deliver to the Buyer, promptly following the resolution of the Dispute (whether by mutual agreement, arbitration, judicial decision or otherwise), an amount in immediately available funds equal to the amount provided for in the resolution of the Dispute.

(e) If, as set forth in Section 8.3(d), the Buyer and the Notified Party agree to submit any Dispute to binding arbitration, the arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) in accordance with the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the following provisions:

(i) In the event of any conflict between the Commercial Rules in effect from time to time and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail and be controlling;

(ii) Either party shall commence the arbitration by filing a written submission with the Boston, Massachusetts office of the AAA in accordance with Commercial Rule 5 (or any successor provision);

(at which point the Equity Holders and the Seller shall become liable only for aggregate Damages under Sections 8.1(a), 8.1(h) and 8.2(a) in excess of $450,000); provided that the limitation set forth in this sentence shall not apply to (i) claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation or (ii) any claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a), 8.1(h) or 8.2(a) relating to a breach of the Tax-Related Representations, the Constitutive Representations or the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.27, 3.8 or 4.5.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Buyer shall not attempt to collect any Damages with respect to a claim for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) or 8.1(h) directly from any Equity Holder or the Seller unless there are insufficient unclaimed General Escrow Funds remaining to satisfy such Damages pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. The General Escrow Fund and the Special Escrow Fund shall be the exclusive means for the Buyer to collect any Damages for which it is entitled to indemnification with respect to the Special Obligations. Any claims for Damages with respect to the Special Obligations shall be satisfied first from the Special Escrow Fund and then, if the Special Escrow Fund is insufficient, from the General Escrow Fund. Neither the General Escrow Fund nor the Special Escrow Fund shall be available for claims arising under Section 8.2, which claims shall be solely the obligation of the applicable Equity Holder.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.5(a) and (b) and except for claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation, (i) the aggregate Liability of the Equity Holders and the Seller for all Damages under this Agreement shall not exceed 40% of the Adjusted Purchase Price and, for each Equity Holder and the Seller, shall not exceed 40% of its pro rata percentage of the Adjusted Purchase Price (including such Equity Holder’s and the Seller’s pro rata percentage of the General Escrow Fund and the Special Escrow Fund), and (ii) the aggregate Liability of the Equity Holders and the Seller for any claim made under this Agreement shall not exceed the aggregate amount of Damages for such claim and, except with respect to Damages under Section 8.2, for each Equity Holder and the Seller, shall not exceed its pro rata percentage of the aggregate amount of Damages for such claim. With respect to the preceding sentence, the pro rata percentages of the Equity Holders and the Seller, both individually and collectively, shall be as set forth on Schedule 8.5(c) attached hereto. The aggregate Liability of each Equity Holder for Damages under Section 8.2 shall be limited to matters involving such Equity Holder, and no Equity Holder shall have any Liability for Damages under Section 8.2 as a result of matters involving any other Equity Holder. The Seller shall not have any Liability for Damages under Section 8.2.

(d) The Equity Holders and the Seller shall not have any right of contribution against the Company with respect to any breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.

(e) Except with respect to claims based on fraud or knowing misrepresentation and claims arising under Article IX, after the Closing, the rights of the Buyer

under this Article VIII shall be the exclusive remedy of the Buyer with respect to claims resulting from or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or failure to perform any covenant or agreement of any Equity Holder, the Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement.

The Buyer shall make all payments required with respect to any such Tax Returns; provided, however, that the Seller and the Equity Holders shall, within 15 calendar days after receipt of written notification that such a payment was made by the Buyer, reimburse the Buyer to the extent any payment the Buyer is required to make relates to the operations of the Company or any Subsidiary for any period ending (or deemed pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date to the extent such portion of the payment exceeds the amount of the accruals for Taxes (excluding accruals and reserves for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet.

(c) Any Tax Return to be prepared and filed by the Buyer for taxable periods beginning before the Closing Date shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the last previous similar Tax Return, and the Buyer shall consult with the Seller concerning each such Tax Return; provided, however, if the Company or Subsidiary, as the case may be, did not file a previous similar return, the Buyer shall prepare the return in the manner determined in it sole discretion, in consultation with its independent Tax advisors, including making voluntary disclosures of Tax Returns which were not filed for previous taxable periods.

9.2 Tax Indemnification by the Seller and the Equity Holders.

(a) The Equity Holders and the Seller shall, on a basis providing for shared culpability, but subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.5, indemnify the Buyer, the Company and the Subsidiaries in respect of, and hold the Buyer, the Company and the Subsidiaries harmless against (i) any and all Damages resulting from, relating to, or constituting a breach of any representation contained in Sections 2.9 and 3.7 hereof, (ii) any and all Damages resulting from, relating to, or constituting any failure to perform any covenant or agreement set forth in Article VI relating to Taxes or in this Article IX and (iii) without duplication, the following Taxes with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries:

(i) Any and all Taxes due and payable by the Company or any Subsidiary for any taxable period that ends (or is deemed pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date in excess of any accruals for current Taxes (excluding accruals and reserves for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the Closing Balance Sheet;

(ii) Any Liability of such entities for Taxes of other entities whether pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or comparable or similar provision under state, local or foreign law), as transferee or successor or pursuant to any contractual obligation for any taxable period that ends (or is deemed pursuant to Section 9.3(b) to end) on or before the Closing Date; and

(iii) Any sales, use, transfer, stamp, conveyance, value added, recording, registration, documentary, filing or other similar Taxes and fees, whether levied on the Buyer, the Seller, the Company, any Subsidiary or any of their respective Affiliates, resulting from the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.3 Allocation of Certain Taxes.

(a) If the Company is permitted, but not required, under applicable foreign, state or local Tax laws to treat the Closing Date as the last day of a taxable period, such day shall be treated as the last day of a taxable period.

(b) The portion of any Taxes for a taxable period beginning before and ending after the Closing allocable to the portion of such period ending on the Closing Date shall be deemed to equal (i) in the case of Taxes that (A) are based upon or related to income or receipts or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property, other than Taxes described in Section 9.2(a)(iii), the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date, and (ii) in the case of other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (including property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending with the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period. For purposes of the provisions of Section 9.2, each portion of such period shall be deemed to be a taxable period (whether or not it is in fact a taxable period). For purposes of computing the Taxes attributable to the two (2) portions of a taxable period pursuant to this Section 9.3(b), the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each taxable period (e.g., the benefit of graduated tax rates, exemption amounts, etc.) shall be allocated between the two (2) portions of the period in proportion to the number of calendar days in each portion.

9.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters.

(a) The Buyer and the Seller shall cooperate in (i) the preparation of all Tax Returns for any Tax periods and (ii) the conduct of any Tax Proceeding, for which one Party could reasonably require the assistance of the other Party in obtaining any necessary information. Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, furnishing prior years’ Tax Returns or return preparation packages illustrating previous reporting practices or containing historical information relevant to the preparation of such Tax Returns, and furnishing such other

information within such Party’s possession requested by the other Party as is relevant to the preparation of the Tax Returns or the conduct of the Tax Proceeding. Such cooperation and information also shall include promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices and forms or other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Entity which relate to the Company or any Subsidiary, and providing copies of all relevant Tax Returns, together with accompanying schedules and related work papers, documents relating to rulings or other determinations by any Governmental Entity and records concerning the ownership and tax basis of property, which the requested party may possess.

(b) The Buyer shall control any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary; provided that, with respect to any item the adjustment of which would cause any Equity Holder or the Seller to become obligated to make any payment pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof, the Buyer shall consult with the Seller and not settle any such issue without the consent of the Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided further, that the Buyer shall be permitted to file Tax Returns for all periods ending on or before the Closing Date which were not so filed by the Company or any Subsidiary and which the Buyer’s Tax advisor, with the reasonable concurrence of the Seller’s Tax advisor, advise the Buyer should be filed, whether pursuant to a so-called voluntary disclosure or otherwise. Where such consent is withheld by the Seller, the Equity Holders and the Seller may continue or initiate any further Tax Proceeding at their own expense; provided that any Liability of the Buyer or its Affiliates resulting from the Tax Proceeding, after giving effect to this Agreement, shall not exceed the Liability that would have resulted had the Seller not withheld its consent.

9.5 Termination of Tax-Sharing Agreements. All Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements with respect to or involving the Company or any Subsidiary shall be terminated prior to the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall be bound thereby or have any Liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods ending on or before the Closing Date.
