Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Seller and Purchaser agree to notify each other in writing promptly of: (i) any occurrence or state of facts which will result in any of the notifying Party’s warranties and representations contained in Section 3 or Section 4 hereof not being true and correct in any material respect if restated as of the Effective Time (ii) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event which would be likely to cause any condition to the obligations of any Party to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied, or (iii) the failure of either Party, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement which would be likely to result in any condition to the obligations of any party to perform its obligations or to effect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement not to be satisfied. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.5 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice, provided that such recipient Party, at the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after receipt of such notice or (ii) the Closing Date, advises the other Party of its objection to the matter disclosed in such notice and the nature of such objection.

by the mutual written consent of Purchaser and the Seller;

7.1.2

by either the Seller or the Purchaser, upon written notice to the other, if the Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2011, and the failure to close is not caused in whole or in part by the Party seeking to provide such written notice. Either party shall have the right to extend such date for fifteen (15) days by giving written notice thereof to the other Party. Otherwise time is of the essence with respect to the Closing Date.

7.1.3

by either the Seller or the Purchaser, upon written notice to the other, at any time prior to the Closing, if there has been a material misrepresentation, a material breach of warranty or material breach of a covenant on the part of the other Party which has not been cured to the reasonable satisfaction of the notifying Party within ten (10) Business Days after notice of such breach has been received by the other Party.

7.2

Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and there will be no further Liability on the part of Purchaser or the Seller hereunder, except Liability of any party for intentional breaches of this Agreement prior to the time of such termination, and except that the covenants and agreements set forth in Section 11.11 (regarding expenses), Section 10.4 (regarding confidentiality) and this Section 7.2, shall survive such termination indefinitely.

Purchaser agrees to make its employees and related Business records available, to the extent reasonably necessary for Seller to process any claims arising out of the prior operation of the Business. Purchaser’s agreement to make offers of employment shall not be construed to establish any liability on Purchaser for any period related prior to the Closing Date, including without limitation any liability that may arise under the WARN Act or any State equivalent of the WARN Act, or any ERISA withdrawal liability.

9 INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of the Purchaser, Seller and Parent set forth in this Agreement shall be true from the date hereof through and including the Closing, and shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months, except that (x) representations regarding the payment of any Tax or the filing of any Tax Return shall survive until six (6) months following the date upon which the applicable taxing authority is barred by statute of limitations from assessing or collecting taxes, penalty or interest with respect thereto and (y) representations set forth in Section 3.1, 3.2, 3.9, 3.11, 3.15 and 3.27 shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations. No claim may be brought for indemnification hereunder more than six (6) months following the last day of the period for which such representation, warranty or covenant survives.

9.2 General Indemnification by the Seller and Parent. The Seller and Parent jointly and severally covenant and agree that they will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Purchaser and each of its Affiliates and its managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, representatives and assigns (“Purchaser Indemnitees,” and each a “Purchaser Indemnitee”) at all times, from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all claims, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of investigation) incurred by a Purchaser Indemnitee as a result of or arising from:

9.2.1

subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, any breach of the representations and warranties of Seller and/or Parent set forth herein or on the Schedules or certificates delivered in connection herewith,

9.2.2

any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of the Seller and/or Parent under this Agreement (except for the covenants set forth in Article 5, which shall not survive the Closing), and

9.2.3

any and all Liabilities of the Seller, the Parent and any and all of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates, other than the Specifically Assumed Liabilities.

9.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Purchaser covenants and agrees that it will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Seller and Parent and each of its Affiliates and its managers, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, representatives and assigns (“Seller Indemnitees,” and each a “Seller Indemnitee”)at all times from and after the date of this Agreement from and against all claims, damages, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, costs and expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys, fees and expenses of investigation) incurred by a Seller Indemnitee as a result of or arising from:

9.3.1

subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, any breach by Purchaser of its representations and warranties set forth herein or on the Schedules or certificates attached hereto,

9.3.2

any breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement (except for the covenants set forth in Article 5, which shall not survive the Closing), and

9.3.3

any Specifically Assumed Liabilities, and

9.3.4

any Liabilities which arise out of the Purchaser’s operation of the Business following the Closing.

9.4 Third Person Claims. Promptly after any party hereto (hereinafter the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has Knowledge of any claim by a Person not a party to this Agreement (“Third Person”), or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a Third Person, the Indemnified Party shall, as a condition precedent to a claim with respect thereto being made against any party obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 hereof (hereinafter the “Indemnifying Party”), give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the amount thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend and settle, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter so long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently, provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any criminal proceeding or any other proceeding to the extent that relief other than the payment of money is sought, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense thereof and in any settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any books, records or information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the Indemnified Party’s possession or control. All Indemnified Parties shall use the same counsel, which shall be the counsel selected by Indemnifying Party, provided that if counsel to the Indemnifying Party shall have a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing Indemnified Party, Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such matter through counsel of its own choosing and Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of its counsel. After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted Liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted Liability, except as set forth in the preceding sentence and to the extent such participation is requested by the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party for reasonable additional legal expenses and out-of-pocket expenses. If the Indemnifying Party desires to accept a final and complete settlement of any such Third Person claim and the Indemnified Party refuses to consent to such settlement, then the Indemnifying Party’s Liability under this Section 9 with respect to such Third Person claim shall be limited to the amount so offered in settlement by said Third Person. Upon agreement as to such settlement between said Third Person and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall, in exchange for a complete release from the Indemnified Party, promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the amount agreed to in such settlement and the Indemnified Party shall, from that moment on, bear full responsibility for any additional costs of defense which it subsequently incurs with respect to such claim and all additional costs of settlement or judgment. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or fails diligently to pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its choice, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other Liabilities or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Indemnified Party settle any Third Person claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All settlements hereunder shall effect a complete release of the Indemnified Party, unless the Indemnified Party otherwise agrees in writing. The parties hereto will make appropriate adjustments for insurance proceeds in determining the amount of any indemnification obligation under this Section.

9.5 Limitations on Rights of Indemnification.

9.5.1

No Purchaser Indemnitee shall have the right to indemnification under this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of any and all such indemnification claims made by the Purchaser Indemnitee and by any Purchaser Indemnitees under the corresponding provisions of the Related APA exceeds Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars (the “Basket Threshold”), at which time the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be entitled to the entire amount in excess of the Basket Threshold; provided, however, the Basket Threshold shall not apply to claims arising out of fraud. The Basket Threshold under this Agreement and the Basket Thresholds under corresponding provisions of the Related APA (collectively the “Aggregate APA’s”) shall be treated as a single Basket Threshold, such that all claims made under any of the Aggregate APA’s shall be treated as reducing the Basket Threshold under each and every one of the Aggregate APA’s such that the total Basket Threshold under the Aggregate APA’s is Fifty Thousand ($50,000) Dollars.

9.5.2

The aggregate liability of Seller pursuant to this Article 9 shall not exceed the Purchase Price under this Agreement and the corresponding provisions of any of the Related APA’s; provided, however, that there shall not be any limitation of liability with respect to breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties relating to tax matters, ERISA matters and environmental matters.

9.6 Remedies. The remedies provided in this Article 9 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Purchaser Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees from and after the Closing in connection with any breach of representation or warranty or non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement; provided, that, nothing contained herein shall prevent any party from seeking equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief) in connection therewith. The Parent and Seller expressly agree that the indemnifications provided for herein are their joint and several obligations. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be required first to institute any suit or action or to exhaust their remedies against the Seller or Parent or any other person or party in order to enforce this indemnification against either the Seller or the Parent.

10 COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE; CONFIDENTIALITY

10.1 Scope of the Covenant. In consideration of the purchase of the Assets and other consideration given hereunder, the Seller and the Parent hereby covenant and agree that they will not, directly or indirectly, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date:

10.1.1 except on behalf of Purchaser, engage in any business which competes with the business of the Seller within a one hundred (100) mile radius of any business location at which Seller or Purchaser now operate or at which Purchaser operates within such five (5) years;

10.1.2 interfere, directly or indirectly, whether for his own account or for the account of any other Person, firm, corporation or other business organization, with the Purchaser’s relationship with, or endeavor to entice away from the Purchaser, any Person, firm, corporation or other entity who or which is an employee, consultant, distributor, distributing agent or subagent, production contractor, supplier, source of material and/or product or customer of, or in the habit of dealing with, the Purchaser.

10.2 Engaged in a Business. For purposes of this Section 10, a Person shall be deemed directly or indirectly engaged in a business if the Person participates in such business as proprietor, partner, joint venturer, stockholder, director, officer, manager, employee, consultant, advisor or agent, or if the Person controls such business, provided that the Person shall not be deemed engaged in a business solely because the Person holds less than two (2%) percent of the outstanding equity of any publicly owned corporation, provided that the Person shall not be in a control position with regard to such corporation.

10.3 Injunctive Relief. The Seller and the Parent each recognize that irreparable damage will result to Purchaser if this restrictive covenant is violated, and that the remedy at law for any such failure or refusal will be inadequate. Accordingly, in addition to any other remedies and damages available (none of which remedies or damages are hereby waived), Purchaser shall be entitled, in such event, to injunctive and other equitable relief, including without limitation, specific performance.

10.4 Confidentiality. Seller and Parent will treat and hold as confidential all confidential information relating to the Assets (the “Confidential Information”), and shall refrain from using or disclosing any Confidential Information, unless disclosure is required by law, rule, regulation or order of any governmental authority under color of law. In the event that the Seller or Parent is required (by written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar legal process) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Seller or Parent, as the case may be, shall notify the Purchaser promptly of the request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 10.4. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Seller or Parent is, based on an opinion of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, the Seller or Parent may disclose such Confidential Information to such tribunal; provided, however, that the Seller or Parent shall, upon the request of Purchaser, exert all reasonable efforts to obtain, at the reasonable request of the Purchaser, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the such Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Purchaser shall reasonably designate. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing requirements shall not apply to any request, demand or requirement of Parent to provide Confidential Information to the Securities and Exchange Commission, any securities exchange or self-regulatory organization (such as FINRA).

11 MISCELLANEOUS

11.1 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing Date any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents and the making available of any reasonably relevant books and records, including without limitation books and records related to time clock records, accounts payable, accounts receivable and human resources with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date) as any other Party reasonably may request, at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.

11.2 Press Releases and Announcements. No Party shall issue any press release or announcement relating to the existence or subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by law or regulation, including, without limitation, any disclosures made necessary by Purchaser’s status as a public company (in which case the disclosing Party will advise the other Party, in writing at least two (2) Business Days prior to making the disclosure, which disclosure shall be kept confidential by the recipient of such notice until such public disclosure is made) and shall insofar as may be practicable reflect on such disclosure substantially all reasonable comments of the other parties.

11.3 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

11.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the other documents referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties and supersedes any prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or between the Parties, written or oral, that may have related in any way to the subject matter hereof.

11.5 Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties named herein and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign this Agreement or any of such Party’s rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other Parties.

11.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

11.7 Facsimile Signature. Facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format of any signed original document or retransmission of any signed facsimile or electronic transmission in portable document format will be deemed the same as delivery of an original.

11.8 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder will be in writing.

Any Party may give any notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication hereunder using any other means (including personal delivery, expedited courier, messenger service, telecopy, telex, ordinary mail, or electronic mail), but no such notice, request, demand, claim, or other communication shall be deemed to have been duly given unless and until it actually is delivered to the individual for whom it is intended. Any Party may change the address to which notices, requests, demands, claims, and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other Parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

11.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. The Parties hereby irrevocably agrees that all actions, suits or proceedings arising out of, in connection with or relating to this Agreement, or the interpretation, performance or breach thereof, shall be brought in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The Parties hereby agree that if litigation is commenced in such court, they each waive personal service of all process on the condition that all such process is served personally or by registered or certified mail directed to the Party at the address set forth in this Agreement for the giving of notices, or as otherwise provided by the laws of the State of New York or the United States. Nothing herein shall affect the right of a Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. Each Party waives any defense it may have as to improper venue, or that any of the above courts is an inconvenient forum.

11.10 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Purchaser and the Seller. No waiver by any Party of any default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder, whether intentional or not, shall be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent occurrence of such kind.

11.11 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration, or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

11.12 Expenses. Each Party shall pay its own expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to approval by the Board of Directors of Purchaser, Seller’s expenses related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be assumed by Purchaser at the Closing.

11.13 Construction. The Parties have jointly participated in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumptions or burdens of proof shall arise favoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference to any Federal, state, local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The Parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance.
