If the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule is not delivered to Holdco within 120 days after the Closing Date, then Holdco, with the reasonable assistance of those employees of the Company performing the functions of a chief accounting or financial officer for the Company and those individuals who, directly or indirectly, report to such chief financial or accounting officer (collectively, the “Finance Employees”), may prepare and present the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule within an additional thirty (30) days thereafter.  If Holdco prepares the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule

14

in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, then, with respect to such Preliminary Working Capital Schedule, all references in Section 3.7(a) through Section 3.7(d) to Holdco and the Purchaser (or the Company), respectively, shall be read as references to the Purchaser (or the Company) and Holdco, respectively.  The Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing and until the date on which the Final Working Capital Schedule becomes final and binding on the Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser will not intentionally take, and will not intentionally permit the Company to take, any actions with respect to any accounting books, records, policies or procedures on which the Net Working Capital is to be based, or from which it is to be derived, for the intent of materially impeding or delaying, or otherwise intentionally making unavailable information required for, the determination of the Net Working Capital in the manner and utilizing the methods contemplated by this Agreement and the Working Capital Guidelines.

(b)                                                         Holdco shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule during which to notify the Purchaser of any dispute of any item contained in the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute.  In connection with Holdco’s review of the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule, the Purchaser will provide Holdco and its representatives, advisors and accountants with reasonable access to appropriate personnel (including the Finance Employees) books, records, documents and other information of the Company.

(c)                                                          If Holdco does not notify the Purchaser of any such dispute within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule, the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule shall be deemed to be the Final Working Capital Schedule.

(d)                                                         If Holdco notifies the Purchaser of any such dispute within such thirty (30) day period, the Purchaser and Holdco shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible, and upon such resolution, the Final Working Capital Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the agreement of the Purchaser and Holdco.

(e)                                                          If the Purchaser and Holdco are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Preliminary Working Capital Schedule within fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as the Purchaser and Holdco shall mutually agree in writing), following notice of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by the Arbitrator.  As used herein, the term “Arbitrator” means the St. Louis, Missouri office of Deloitte LLP, or in the event such accounting firm is unable or unwilling to take such assignment, a nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and Holdco or, failing such agreement within thirty (30) days following notice of dispute by Holdco, then upon the written request of either the Purchaser or Holdco, such nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by the CPR in accordance with the CPR Rules for Non-Administered Arbitration.  Such resolution shall be final and binding on the Parties.  The Purchaser and Holdco shall instruct the Arbitrator to make a final determination of Net

15

Working Capital and the Working Capital Deficit, if any, or the Working Capital Surplus, if any, based solely on the items that are in dispute and that, in resolving such items in dispute and in determining Net Working Capital and the Working Capital Deficit, if any, or the Working Capital Surplus, if any, the Arbitrator shall not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or Holdco, on the other hand, or (B) less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the Purchaser, on the one hand, or Holdco, on the other hand.  The Arbitrator shall be directed to use commercially reasonable best efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days following its engagement.  The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrator (collectively, the “Arbitrator Fees”) (1) shall be borne by the Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of all such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Purchaser (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (2) shall be borne by Holdco in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by the Purchaser (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such items so submitted.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Arbitrator requires an advance payment of the Arbitrator Fees, the Purchaser, on the one hand, and Holdco, on the other hand, shall each be responsible for one-half of such advance payment of Arbitrator Fees and following the final determination of Net Working Capital and the Working Capital Deficit, if any, or the Working Capital Surplus, if any, by the Arbitrator, the Arbitrator Fees payable by the Purchaser and Holdco shall be adjusted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  Holdco may elect to pay Arbitrator Fees due and owing from them from the Escrow Fund. If any disputes are submitted to the Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 3.7(e), the Final Working Capital Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the decision of the Arbitrator and, to the extent applicable, the agreement of the Purchaser and Holdco.

(f)                                                            Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Working Capital Schedule in accordance with this Section 3.7:

(i)                                     To the extent that there is a Working Capital Deficit, Holdco shall be obligated to pay to the Purchaser in cash an aggregate amount equal to the Working Capital Deficit.  The Purchaser shall first seek to recover the first $1,000,000 of the aggregate amount of the Working Capital Deficit and Arbitrator Fees payable by Holdco from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.  For any such amount of Working Capital Deficit and Arbitrator Fees payable by Holdco in excess of $1,000,000, the Purchaser may, in its sole discretion, claim all or any part of such amount (A) either directly from Holdco or the Sellers in accordance with Sections 9.5(c)(i) and 9.5(c)(ii) as if such amount were a Purchaser Loss, (B) from the Escrow Fund or (C) by setting off such amount from any Earnout Amount payable to Holdco pursuant to the terms of the Earnout Agreement, or by any combination of (A), (B), or (C).  Any payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.7(f)(i) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Purchaser.  Upon payment of the Working Capital Deficit, the Sellers and Holdco shall be

16

fully released and discharged of any obligation with respect to the Working Capital Deficit.

(ii)                                  To the extent there is a Working Capital Surplus on the Final Working Capital Schedule, the Purchaser shall pay to Holdco an amount equal to the Working Capital Surplus by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by or on behalf of Holdco.  Upon such payment, the Purchaser shall be fully released and discharged of any obligation with respect to the Working Capital Surplus.

(iii)                               Any payment made pursuant to this Section 3.7(f) shall include an additional amount of simple interest equal to the amount of interest that such payment would have earned had it earned interest at 3.5% per annum, from the Closing Date through the date of such payment, and such interest shall be paid together with the adjustment amount being paid pursuant to Section 3.7(f)(i) or (ii).

Section 3.8                                        Seller Release.  As of the Closing, in consideration for the agreement and covenants of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement, each Seller, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Affiliates, hereby knowingly, voluntarily and unconditionally releases and forever discharges from and for, and covenants that neither it nor any of its Affiliates will sue the Purchaser, the Company, or their respective predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries or other Affiliates, or any of their respective current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, or representatives for or with respect to, any and all claims, causes of action, demands, suits, debts, obligations, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of every kind or nature whatsoever, known or unknown, actual or potential, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, that such Seller has or may have, now or in the future, arising out of, relating to, or resulting from any act of commission or omission, errors, negligence, strict liability, breach of contract, tort, violations of Law, matter or cause whatsoever from the beginning of time to the Closing Date; provided, however, that such release shall not cover any claims against (a) the Company or the Purchaser with respect to any amounts due to any Seller or its Affiliates to the extent such amounts are reserved as a liability on the Final Working Capital Schedule or (b) the Purchaser or the Company arising under this Agreement, any Seller Ancillary Document or any Purchaser Ancillary Document.

The Company is duly qualified or registered as a foreign corporation to transact business under the Laws of each jurisdiction where the character of its activities or the location of the properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification or registration, except where

17

the failure to be so qualified or licensed would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in Losses to the Company of more than $25,000.  The Company has heretofore made available to the Purchaser correct and complete copies of the charter documents of the Company as currently in effect and the corporate record books with respect to actions taken by its shareholders and board of directors since January 1, 2006.  Schedule 4.1 contains a correct and complete list of the jurisdictions in which the Company is qualified or registered to do business as a foreign corporation.

CERTAIN COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS

Section 7.2             Seller Guaranty.  Each Individual Seller shall cause Holdco to do all things required by Holdco pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 7.3             Tax Matters.

(a)           Status of Transaction.  The Parties acknowledge that the purchase of the Shares will be treated for U.S. federal tax purposes as the purchase of the assets and assumption of the liabilities of the Company, followed by the Purchaser’s transfer of the Company’s assets to, and the assumption of the Company’s liabilities by, a new entity, and will not take any position on any income Tax Return that is inconsistent with such treatment..  The Parties also acknowledge that the Company and the Sellers will treat Holdco as a continuation of the Company for U.S. federal, state and local income Tax purposes, pursuant to the determination of the Company and the Sellers that the actions taken under the Contribution Agreement constitute a reorganization under Section 368(a)(1)(F) of the Code.  In accordance with Rev. Rul. 2008-18, the Company will retain its existing employer identification number, and Holdco will obtain a new employer identification number.

43

(b)           Allocation of Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the assets of the Company (the “Allocations”) in a manner consistent with the principles set forth on Exhibit 7.3(b).  For purposes of the Allocations, the fair market values of the Company’s assets shall be consistent with such values as determined in good faith by the Purchaser for financial accounting purposes in accordance with GAAP as has been consistently applied by the Company, and in accordance with the principles set forth on Exhibit 7.3(b).  The Purchaser shall be under no obligation to have the Allocations prepared or reviewed by an independent appraiser.  The Purchaser shall deliver to Holdco a written notice of the Allocations no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date.  Holdco shall be deemed to have accepted the Allocations unless Holdco shall, within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof by Holdco, deliver to the Purchaser a written notice to the effect that Holdco objects to the Allocations on the basis of Holdco’s good faith determination that the Allocations are not consistent with the principles set forth on Exhibit 7.3(b) or are unreasonable and the reasons therefore, in which event Holdco and the Purchaser shall endeavor in good faith to agree upon the Allocations. If Holdco and the Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute within fifteen (15) days after Holdco has provided Purchaser with its notice of dispute regarding the Allocations, such dispute shall be resolved by the Arbitrator, which shall be directed to resolve any issue in dispute as promptly as practicable and in accordance with the principles of Section 1060 of the Code and the principles set forth on Exhibit 7.3(b).  Upon the Arbitrator’s delivery of its determination to the Purchaser and Holdco, appropriate adjustments shall be made to the Allocations to reflect the Arbitrator’s determination.  The determination by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to file Form 8594 in a manner consistent with the Allocations as finally determined in accordance with this Section, and to prepare and file all relevant Tax Returns in accordance with the Allocations.

(c)           Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date.

(i)            Holdco shall prepare and file all federal and state income Tax Returns of the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), and the Company’s Pennsylvania Capital Stock Tax Return for the year 2010. The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns of the Company for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date which are filed after the Closing Date.  The Purchaser shall be reimbursed by the Sellers, on a joint and several basis, for Taxes of the Company with respect to all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days after payment by the Purchaser or the Company of such Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes were reflected as a liability on the Final Working Capital Schedule.

(ii)           The Purchaser shall not file, and shall not permit the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or of the Purchaser to file, an amended tax Return for the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or to file a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in any jurisdiction in which the Company did not file in a previous taxable period a Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period, without

44

Holdco’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Purchaser shall not file, and shall not permit the Company or any Affiliate of the Company or of the Purchaser to file, an amended income Tax Return for the Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, or to file an income Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period in any jurisdiction in which the Company did not file in a previous taxable period an income Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period unless the Purchaser has received a written opinion from its counsel reasonably acceptable to Holdco stating that the filing is required as a matter of law.

(d)           Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date.  The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, in a manner consistent with prior Tax Returns, subject to the review and approval of Holdco. The Purchaser shall be reimbursed by the Sellers, on a joint and several basis, for an amount equal to the portion of such Taxes which relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date within fifteen (15) days after payment by the Purchaser or the Company of such Taxes, except to the extent such Taxes were reflected as a liability on the Final Working Capital Schedule. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Taxable period ending on the Closing Date shall, (y) in the case of any Taxes other than Taxes based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire Taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Taxable period, and (z) in the case of any Tax based upon or related to income or receipts, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.  Any credits relating to a Taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date shall be taken into account as though the relevant Taxable period ended on the Closing Date.  All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

(e)           Cooperation on Tax Matters.  The Parties shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this Section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The Individual Sellers agree to cause Holdco (i) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by

45

all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (ii) to give the Purchaser reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the Purchaser so requests, the Sellers shall allow the Purchaser to take possession of such books and records.  The Purchaser, Holdco and the Sellers agree, upon request, to use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(f)            Tax Sharing Agreements.  Any Tax sharing agreement with respect to or involving the Company shall have been terminated as of the Closing Date and shall have no further effect for any taxable year (whether the current year, a future year, or a past year).

(g)           Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be shared equally by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and Holdco, on the other.

(h)           Inventory Tax Gross-Up Amount.

(i)            The Purchaser shall pay to Holdco, at the time described below, as additional purchase price, an amount equal to the sum of (A) twenty percent (20%) of the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Company’s inventory on the Closing Date (as determined under Section 7.3(b) and the procedure set forth on Exhibit 7.3(b)) over the income tax basis of such inventory to the Company on the Closing Date and (B) the amount needed to pay the income Taxes imposed on the Sellers on the amount received pursuant to this Section 7.3(h) (the “Inventory Tax Gross-Up Amount”), such that the Sellers are made whole with respect to any additional Taxes attributable to the increase in the tax basis of the Company’s inventory that is obtained by the Purchaser as a result of its deemed purchase of such property.

(ii)           Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the final determination of the Allocations, Holdco shall deliver to the Purchaser a written notice of the Inventory Tax Gross-Up Amount (the “Gross-Up Notice”).  The Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted such amount unless it provides written notice to Holdco within fifteen (15) Business Days of the receipt of the Gross-Up Notice that it disagrees with the Gross-Up Notice and specifies the items of disagreement in reasonable detail and the Purchaser’s calculation of the items that are the subject of the disagreement.  If the Purchaser timely provides the notice of disagreement, Holdco and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to achieve an agreement on the Inventory Tax Gross-Up Amount.  If no agreement is achieved within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt by Holdco of the Purchaser’s notice of disagreement, the items of disagreement shall be submitted to the Arbitrator for resolution, which shall be delivered as promptly as possible.  The determination by the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and

46

binding on the Parties.  The Purchaser shall pay to Holdco the Inventory Tax Gross-Up Amount within ten (10) Business Days after its final determination under this Section, and all Parties shall treat it as additional purchase price for Tax purposes.

(i)            Effective Time of Closing.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Closing is deemed to occur after the close of business on the Closing Date, and all items of income and expenses of the Company that are incurred on the Closing Date shall be included in the Tax Return of Holdco.

Section 9.3                Indemnification Procedure.

(a)           Third Party Claims; Settlements

(i)            Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Entity) of any complaint or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding (“Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from any party required to provide indemnification pursuant to this Article IX for any Purchaser Loss or any Seller Loss (as the case may be) (the “Indemnifying Party”), such Indemnified Party shall notify the Purchaser (if the Purchaser is the Indemnifying Party), or Holdco (if the Sellers are the Indemnifying Parties), promptly following the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such complaint or notice of the commencement of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.  Any notice regarding a Third Party Claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts giving rise, or that could reasonably be expected to give rise, to the claim for indemnification hereunder that is the subject to such notice.  Such notice shall also include (if and to the extent then known) the amount and the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision or provisions of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based and all material documentation relevant to the claim (to the extent not previously provided under this Section 9.3(a)). The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter, to assume full responsibility for any Purchaser Losses or Seller Losses (as the case may be) resulting from such Third Party Claim to the extent such Third Party Claim involves solely

51

monetary damages, including the retention of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, that an Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim if (i) such claim could result in criminal liability of, or equitable remedies against, the Indemnified Party; or (ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that the interests of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim are in conflict with one another, and as a result, the Indemnifying Party could not adequately represent the interests of the Indemnified Party in such claim.  In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume, or is not permitted to assume, the defense of the Third Party Claim on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such twenty (20) day period, or if the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with the preceding sentence, then such Indemnified Party may employ counsel to represent or defend it in any such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and disbursements of such counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be required to pay the fees and disbursements of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction in any single Third Party Claim.  In any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is being sought hereunder the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense.  The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

(ii)           No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless (A) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume, or is not permitted to assume, and maintain the defense of such claim pursuant to Section 9.3(a) or (B) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim.  An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, managers, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim, (y) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (z) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects,

52

restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

(iii)          Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Holdco shall have the sole right to control, prosecute and settle any claim with respect to Taxes imposed on or based on income for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Tax period beginning before the Closing and ending after the Closing to the extent such claim could give rise to an adjustment of the income or expenses of a Seller’s Tax Return for such period.

(b)           Non-Third Party Claims.  In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant to this Article IX not involving a Third Party Claim, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim (“Claim Notice”) to the to the Purchaser, if the Purchaser is the Indemnifying Party, or Holdco, if the Sellers are the Indemnifying Parties.  The Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts giving rise, or that could reasonably be expected to give rise, to the claim for indemnification hereunder that is the subject to the Claim Notice.  The Claim Notice shall include (if and to the extent then known) the amount and the method of computation of the amount of such claim, and a reference to the provision or provisions of this Agreement or any agreement, certificate or instrument executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith upon which such claim is based and all material documentation relevant to the claim (to the extent not previously provided under this Section 9.3(b)).  The failure by any Indemnified Party to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect to any claim made pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party (acting through Holdco, in the case of indemnification sought by a Purchaser Indemnified Party, and acting through the Purchaser, in the case of indemnification sought by a Seller Indemnified Party) shall have thirty (30) days after the giving of any proper Claim Notice pursuant hereto to (i) agree to the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice and to pay or cause to be paid such amount to such Indemnified Party in immediately available funds, or (ii) provide such Indemnified Party with written notice that it disagrees with the amount or method of determination set forth in the Claim Notice (the “Indemnity Claim Dispute Notice”).  For a period of thirty (30) days after the giving of any Indemnity Claim Dispute Notice, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the matter.  In the event that the controversy is not resolved within thirty (30) days after the date the Indemnity Claim Dispute Notice is given, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party may thereupon proceed to pursue any and all available remedies at law.  If the Indemnifying Party agrees to the Claim Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i) or fails to provide a timely Indemnity Claim Dispute Notice pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (ii), then promptly following the date the applicable Purchaser Loss or Seller Loss becomes finally determined (x) if the Indemnified Party is a Purchaser Indemnified Party, then such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive the applicable amount set forth in the Claim Notice in accordance with Section 9.5(c),

53

and Holdco shall promptly execute a written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release any applicable amount (up to the maximum amount contained in the Escrow Fund) to such Indemnified Party, or (y) if the Indemnified Party is a Seller Indemnified Party, then the Purchaser shall, using its own funds, pay the Seller Indemnified Party the amount set forth in the Claim Notice.

Section 9.4             Claims Period.  The Claims Period hereunder shall begin on the date hereof and terminate as follows:

(a)           with respect to Purchaser Losses arising under (i) Section 9.1(a) or 9.1(b) with respect to any breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, or (ii) Section 9.1(c), 9.1(g), 9.1(h), 9.1(i) or 9.1(k), (all Purchaser Losses described in this Section 9.4(a), the “Surviving Obligations”), the Claims Period shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of any statute of limitations applicable to such Purchaser Losses (which, for this purpose, shall mean the longer of (x) the statute of limitations applicable to Third Party Claims or claims made by a Governmental Entity with respect to the matters for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are indemnified pursuant to Section 9.1 and (y) the statute of limitations, if any, otherwise applicable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to claims made under this Agreement), and if no statute of limitations is applicable to such Purchaser Losses, indefinitely; and

(b)           with respect to all other Purchaser Losses arising hereunder, the Claims Period shall terminate on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date (the “General Indemnity Expiration Date”); and

(c)           with respect to Seller Losses arising under Section 9.2, the Claims Period shall survive until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such Seller Losses (which, for this purpose, shall mean the longer of (x) the statute of limitations applicable to Third Party Claims or claims made by a Governmental Entity with respect to the matters for which the Seller Indemnified Parties are indemnified pursuant to Section 9.2 and (y) the statute of limitations, if any, otherwise applicable to the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to claims made under this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to 5:00 P.M. Atlanta, Georgia time, on the last day of the applicable Claims Period, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 9.5             Liability Limits.

(a)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against any Seller for indemnification under this Article IX for Purchaser Losses unless and until, and only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of such Purchaser Losses exceeds $450,000

54

(the “Purchaser Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all Purchaser Losses in excess of $450,000; provided, however, that Purchaser Losses related to Surviving Obligations shall not be subject to the Purchaser Basket nor shall they be included in calculating the Purchaser Basket.  The total aggregate amount of the liability of Holdco and the Sellers for Purchaser Losses shall be limited to $11,000,000 (the “Purchaser Cap”); provided, however, that Purchaser Losses arising from Surviving Obligations shall not be subject to the Purchaser Cap.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Sellers and Holdco for indemnification pursuant to this Article IX exceed the amount equal to the Maximum Cap.

(b)           The Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Article IX for Purchaser Losses to the extent such Purchaser Losses were (i) reflected as a liability on the Final Working Capital Schedule or (ii) included on the Closing Date Expense Statement or the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement and, with respect to the foregoing clause (ii), were paid at Closing.

(c)           Any indemnification obligation of the Sellers pursuant to this Article IX shall be satisfied first from the Escrow Fund, and if the Escrow Fund is insufficient, at the sole discretion of the Purchaser, (a) by Holdco and/or (b) by each of the Sellers on a several and not joint basis; provided that:

(i)            each Non-Individual Seller’s liability for any Purchaser Loss shall not exceed such Non-Individual Seller’s Seller Percentage of such Purchaser Loss, and in the event a Non-Individual Seller indemnifies a Purchaser Indemnified Party for a Purchaser Loss, such indemnification payment shall, with respect to such Purchaser Loss, reduce, dollar-for-dollar, the indemnification limits under Section 9.5(c)(ii) or Section 9.5(c)(iii), as applicable, of the Individual Seller to which such Non-Individual Seller is a Related Party;

(ii)           each Individual Seller’s liability for any Purchaser Loss shall not exceed such Individual Seller’s Indemnification Percentage of such Purchaser Loss, and in the event that an Individual Seller indemnifies a Purchaser Indemnified Party in an amount equal to such Individual Seller’s Indemnification Percentage of such Purchaser Loss, the Purchaser Indemnified Party may not seek indemnification from such Individual Seller’s Related Parties as a result of such Purchaser Loss; and

(iii)          each Individual Seller is responsible for 100% of any Purchaser Loss arising under Section 9.1(a) with respect to a breach by such Individual Seller or such Individual Seller’s Related Party of any representation in Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6, or 5.7.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchaser may, at its sole discretion, set off any obligation of the Sellers for Purchaser Losses pursuant to this Article IX from

55

any Earnout Amount payable to Holdco pursuant to the Earnout Agreement. In no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to use any of the funds held in the Escrow Fund to satisfy any of its indemnification obligations to any Seller Indemnified Party.

(d)           The amount of Purchaser Losses otherwise payable to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX shall be net of any insurance proceeds actually received by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to such Purchaser Losses under insurance policies maintained by the Company prior to the date hereof.

(e)           No Purchaser Loss or Seller Loss shall include punitive damages (unless required to be paid by the Indemnified Party in respect of a Third Party Claim).

Section 9.6               Cash Purchase Price Adjustment.  Any indemnification payment made by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the purchase price paid for the Shares for Tax purposes.

Section 9.7               Exclusive Remedy.  The Parties agree that, excluding (a) any claim for injunctive or other equitable relief, (b) the rights of the Parties under Section 10.15, (c) any claim related to fraud, willful misconduct or bad faith by Holdco, the Sellers or the Purchaser in connection with the transactions related to this Agreement, or (d) for matters related to the Post-Closing Employment Agreements, the Non-Competition Agreements or the Earnout Agreement, the indemnification provisions of this Article IX are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy as to all claims either Holdco or the Sellers, on the one hand, or the Purchaser, on the other hand, may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement.

Section 10.14        Seller Representative.

(a)           By the execution and delivery hereof, including counterparts hereof, each Seller hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Holdco as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of such Seller (the “Seller Representative”) with full powers of substitution to act in the name, place and stead of such Seller with respect to the performance on behalf of such Seller under the terms and provisions hereof and to do or refrain from doing all such further acts and things, and to execute all such documents, as Holdco shall deem necessary or appropriate in connection with any transaction contemplated hereunder, including the power to:

(i)            act for each Seller with respect to all indemnification matters referred to herein, including the right to compromise or settle any such claim on behalf of any Seller;

(ii)           act for each Seller with respect to all Purchase Price adjustments referred to herein;

(iii)          act for each Seller in connection with the Escrow Agreement and Earnout Agreement;

(iv)          amend or waive any provision hereof (including any condition to Closing) in any manner that does not differentiate among the Sellers in any material respect as determined by Holdco;

(v)           employ, obtain and rely upon the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other professional advisors as Holdco, in the sole discretion thereof, deems necessary or advisable in the performance of the duties of Holdco;

(vi)          receive and provide receipt for any portion of the Purchase Price or any other payment due from the Purchaser to the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement;

59

(vii)         incur any expenses, liquidate and withhold assets received on behalf of the Sellers prior to their distribution to the Sellers to the extent of any amount that Holdco deems necessary for payment of or as a reserve against expenses, and pay such expenses or deposit the same in an interest-bearing account established solely for such purpose;

(viii)        receive all notices, communications and deliveries under this Agreement on behalf of the Sellers; and

(ix)          do or refrain from doing any further act or deed on behalf of each Seller that Holdco deems necessary or appropriate, in the sole discretion of Holdco, relating to the subject matter hereof as fully and completely as any Seller could do if personally present and acting as though any reference to any Seller herein was a reference to Holdco.

(b)           The appointment of Holdco shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and any other Person may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any action of Holdco as the act of any Seller in all matters referred to herein. Each Seller hereby ratifies and confirms each action and other steps that Holdco shall do or cause to be done by virtue of its appointment as Seller Representative of such Seller.  Holdco shall not be responsible to any Seller for any loss or damage any Seller may suffer by reason of the performance by Holdco of Holdco’s duties hereunder or under any Seller Ancillary Document, other than loss or damage arising from willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of Holdco’s duties hereunder or under any Seller Ancillary Document.

(c)           Each Seller hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that Holdco is authorized to act on behalf of such Seller notwithstanding any dispute or disagreement among the Sellers, and that any Person shall be entitled to rely on any and all action taken by Holdco hereunder without liability to, or obligation to inquire of, any Seller.  In the event Holdco resigns or ceases to function in such capacity for any reason whatsoever, then the successor Seller Representative shall be Scott A. Beaumont or James B. Bradbeer, Jr..  In the event that neither Scott A. Beaumont nor James B. Bradbeer, Jr. are able or willing to serve as Seller Representative, then the successor Seller Representative shall be the Person the remaining Sellers (holding a majority of the Seller Percentage) appoint; provided, however, that in the event for any reason no successor has been appointed within thirty (30) days following such resignation or cessation, then any Seller shall have the right to petition a court of competent jurisdiction for appointment of a successor Seller Representative.  The Sellers, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold Holdco harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) reasonably incurred or suffered as a result of the performance of Holdco’s duties hereunder or under any Seller Ancillary Document, except for willful misconduct or gross negligence.
