1.3 Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer to Sellers for the purchase of the Securities and the Purchased Assets shall be an amount equal to $2,946,544.00 (the “Base Purchase Price”) minus the Closing Indebtedness Amount minus the Closing Selling Expenses Amount (other than the Sellers’ legal fees and expenses, Liability for which will be retained by Interest Sellers and paid by them directly, subject to the reimbursement obligation described in Section 11.3) (as adjusted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including pursuant to Section 1.4, the “Purchase Price”).

1.4 Payment of Purchase Price at Closing. The Closing Statement includes (i) Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Closing Indebtedness Amount (which will be consistent with the Payoff Letters) (the “Estimated Closing Indebtedness Amount”), and (ii) Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Closing Selling Expenses Amount (the “Estimated Selling Expenses Amount”), and (iii) Sellers’ calculation of the Purchase Price based on the foregoing estimates (the “Estimated Purchase Price”). Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall:

(a) on behalf of the Company and Asset Seller, pay or cause to be paid the Indebtedness of the Company and Asset Seller set forth on Schedule 1.4(a) (the “Payoff Indebtedness”) in accordance with the Payoff Letters;

2

(b) on behalf of Sellers and the Company, pay or cause to be paid the Selling Expenses in accordance with the Closing Statement;

(c) hold back and retain an amount equal to $250,000.00 for the purpose of securing Buyer’s receipt of satisfactory evidence of the termination and release of certain Liens on the VHC Assets (the “Holdback Amount”), to be released to Sellers in accordance with Section 1.9; and

(d) pay or cause to be paid an amount equal to the Estimated Purchase Price minus the Holdback Amount to Sellers by means of wire transfers of immediately available funds in accordance with the Closing Statement.

1.5 Purchase Price Adjustment. Within ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers a statement (the “Adjustment Statement”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of (i) the Closing Indebtedness Amount, (ii) the Closing Selling Expenses Amount, and, (iii) based on Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Amount and Closing Selling Expenses Amount as set forth in the Adjustment Statement, the Purchase Price (the “Final Purchase Price”). The date on which the Adjustment Statement is delivered to Sellers is referred to herein as the “Delivery Date”. All of the items comprising the Adjustment Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(b) Sellers shall have thirty (30) calendar days following the Delivery Date (the “Post-Closing Adjustment Review Period”) to review the Adjustment Statement. If any Seller has any objections to the Adjustment Statement, such Seller(s) shall deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth all such objections thereto (a “Post-Closing Adjustment Dispute Notice“), which shall identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which such Seller(s) objects (the “Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items”). If a Post-Closing Adjustment Dispute Notice is not delivered to Buyer during the Post-Closing Adjustment Review Period, the calculation of the Final Purchase Price set forth in the Adjustment Statement shall be deemed accepted and agreed to by Sellers and shall be final and binding for purposes of this Agreement and shall be non-appealable by the parties hereto absent manifest error.

(c) If any of Sellers deliver a Post-Closing Adjustment Dispute Notice to Buyer, then Buyer and such Seller(s) shall attempt to resolve the Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery of the Post-Closing Adjustment Dispute Notice. If Buyer and such Seller(s) so resolve any Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items, then the calculation set forth in the Adjustment Statement, as adjusted for any Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items that are so resolved by Buyer and Sellers, shall be final and binding as the Final Purchase Price for purposes of this Agreement and shall be non-appealable by the parties hereto absent manifest error. If Buyer and such Seller(s) are unable to resolve any Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer and such Seller(s) shall mutually engage and submit such Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Item(s) to a mutually agreeable firm of independent public accountants (the “Accounting Firm”) for resolution pursuant to the terms of Section 1.6. The calculation set forth in the Adjustment Statement, after giving effect to any adjustment by Buyer and such Seller(s) and to the resolution of any remaining Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items by the Accounting Firm, shall be final and binding as the Final Purchase Price for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If the Final Purchase Price exceeds the Estimated Purchase Price (such excess, the “Positive Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price), Buyer shall either pay the Positive Adjustment Amount to the applicable Seller(s) by wire transfer of immediately available funds and in accordance with the instructions provided by such Seller(s) no later than two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price or, if the Holdback Amount has not been released in accordance with Section 1.9 retain the Positive Adjustment Amount to be released in accordance with Section 1.9.

3

(e) If the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Final Purchase Price (such excess, the “Negative Adjustment Amount”), then promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price), the applicable Seller(s) shall, jointly and severally if more than one, pay the Negative Adjustment Amount to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds and in accordance with the instructions provided by Buyer no later than two (2) Business Days after the final determination of the Final Purchase Price. Buyer may, in its sole discretion, elect to permit Sellers to satisfy the Negative Adjustment Amount by applying a portion of the Holdback Amount. In no event shall Buyer be required to recoup the Negative Adjustment Amount through a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.

1.6 Resolution of Disputes; Access to Books and Records. In the event that any Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items are submitted to the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 1.5, Buyer and Sellers shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) calendar days after engagement by Buyer and Sellers, and to set forth in a written statement its final determination of the Final Purchase Price based upon its resolution of such Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items and the items and amounts with respect to the Adjustment Statement that were not Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items. The determination of the Accounting Firm with respect to any Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Item shall be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be, and no less than the lower amount calculated by Buyer or Sellers, as the case may be. The fees, costs, and expenses of the Accounting Firm in connection with any such determination shall be apportioned between Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, by the Accounting Firm based upon the inverse proportion of the disputed amounts resolved in favor of such party (i.e., so that the prevailing party bears a lesser amount of such fees, costs, and expenses). Otherwise, Sellers and Buyer shall each pay their costs in connection with Section 1.5, including the fees and expenses of their respective attorneys and accountants, if any. Buyer shall make available to each Seller (and each Seller’s representatives) and, if applicable, the Accounting Firm, such employees of the Company and Books and Records as each Seller may reasonably request in order to review (i) the Adjustment Statement and the calculation of the proposed Final Purchase Price set forth therein, or (ii) any Post-Closing Adjustment Disputed Items submitted to the Accounting Firm; provided, that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Buyer or the Company.

1.7 Withholding. Buyer and each of its Affiliates (as applicable) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts payable under this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code and any other applicable Tax Laws. Any such withheld amount shall be treated as though it had been paid to the Person in respect of which such withholding was required.

1.8 Allocation of Purchase Price. The payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price in accordance with the Closing Statement shall constitute payment by Buyer to each Seller and satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to pay such amount hereunder. The Purchase Price, including any adjustment thereto, shall be allocated among Sellers in accordance with Schedule 1.8. Nothing in this Section 1.8 or in Schedule 1.8 is intended or shall be construed to confer on any Seller rights against Buyer related to the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Seller after payment of the same in accordance with the Closing Statement. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide to Sellers, and shall reasonably consult with Sellers in connection with the preparation of, a statement or statements (the “Allocation Statements”) allocating the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional Purchase Price for Tax purposes among the different assets of the Company and the Purchased Assets, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Buyer and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the allocation set forth in the Allocation Statement as delivered by Buyer.

1.9 Purchase Price Holdback. Upon Buyer’s receipt of evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, of the termination and release of all Liens on the VHC Assets , including, without limitation, UCC-3 Termination Statements evidencing a release of any Liens on the VHC Assets, Buyer shall release to Sellers, by wire transfers of immediately available funds pursuant to joint written instructions delivered by Sellers to Buyer, an amount, if any, equal to (i) Holdback Amount minus (ii) any prior recovery from the Holdback Amount by Buyer with respect to any claims for indemnification under Section 8.1 hereof with respect to the VHC Assets minus (iii) any amounts in dispute pursuant to any pending claims for indemnification under Section 8.1 hereof with respect to the VHC Assets (and any such amount so withheld shall be retained by Buyer until such claim is finally resolved in accordance with this Agreement and thereafter either be released to Sellers or applied for the benefit of Buyer to Losses incurred by Buyer with respect to such claim, or some combination thereof, in accordance with the resolution of such claim).

7.3 Additional Tax Covenants.

(a) Straddle Periods. For purposes of this Section 7.3, any liability for Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be apportioned between the portion of a Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the portion of such Straddle Period beginning on the day after the Closing Date (i) in the case of real and personal property Taxes, by apportioning such Taxes on a per diem basis and (ii) in the case of all other Taxes on the basis of a closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis shall be apportioned on a per diem basis.

Interest Sellers shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including the final IRS Form 1065 for the period through and including the Closing Date. Interest Sellers shall provide copies of all such Tax Returns thirty (30) days before the due date, including extensions, to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If an objection is raised by Buyer, Interest Sellers and Buyer shall attempt to resolve in good faith any such objection. If no such resolution is reached within fifteen (15) days after an objection is raised by Buyer, then the Accounting Firm shall be engaged by the parties and the process described in Section 1.6 shall be followed. Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns of the Company for Straddle Periods. Buyer shall provide a copy to Interest Sellers of each such Tax Return reflecting a Tax liability in excess of $25,000 at least fifteen (15) days before the due date, including extensions, for each Interest Seller’s review and comment. Buyer, in its sole discretion, may accept or reject any comments received from Interest Sellers. Each Interest Seller shall pay such Interest Seller’s portion of the Tax liability for a Straddle Period to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days before the due date of payment of such Tax, and Buyer shall remit payment of the Tax liability to the Taxing Authority.

(c) Contests. Whenever any Taxing Authority sends a notice of any audit, initiates an examination of the Company, or otherwise asserts a claim, makes an assessment, or disputes the amount of Taxes (each, a “Tax Contest”) with respect to any:

(i) Pre-Closing Tax Period (excluding a Straddle Period), Buyer shall promptly inform Interest Sellers and Interest Sellers shall have the right to control any resulting Proceedings (at their own expense) and, subject to the immediately following sentence, to determine whether and when to settle any such Tax Contest; provided however, that (A) Interest Sellers shall keep Buyer apprised of all developments relating to any such Tax Contest and shall conduct the defense of any such Tax Contest diligently and in good faith and (B) Buyer shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at its own expense. Interest Sellers shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of a Tax Contest if such settlement, compromise and/or concession would have an adverse impact on Buyer or the Company for any Post-Closing Tax Period, including a post-Closing Straddle Period, without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If, with respect to any Tax Contest, Interest Sellers fail diligently to defend or prosecute such Tax Contest to a final determination, then Buyer shall at any time thereafter have the right (but not the obligation) to defend or prosecute, at the sole cost, expense and risk of Interest Sellers, such Tax Contest. Buyer shall have full control of such defense or prosecution and such Proceedings, including any settlement or compromise thereof; or

(ii) Post-Closing Tax Period (including a Straddle Period), Buyer shall have the right to control any resulting Proceedings and, subject to the immediately following sentence, to determine whether and when to settle any such Tax Contest; provided, however, in the case of a Tax Contest that relates to a Straddle Period, Interest Sellers shall have the right to participate in such Tax Contest at their own expense. Buyer shall not settle, compromise and/or concede any portion of a Tax Contest if such settlement, compromise and/or concession would have an adverse impact on Interest Sellers for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, including a pre-Closing Straddle Period, without the consent of Interest Sellers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(d) Mutual Cooperation. Buyer and Interest Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and timely filing, and if necessary, join in the execution of, Tax Returns of the Company and any audit or other examination by any Taxing Authority, or any judicial or administrative Proceedings relating to liability for Taxes, and each will retain and provide the other with any records or information that may be relevant to such Tax Return, audit or examination, or Proceedings. Such assistance shall include making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Interest Sellers and Buyer agree (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 expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Interest Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority, and (ii) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such Books and Records and, if the other party so requests, the Buyer or Interest Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such Books and Records. Buyer and Interest Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Taxing Authority 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).

(e) Tax Agreements. All Tax Agreements shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder. Interest Sellers shall cause any and all powers of attorney with respect to Taxes or Tax Returns to which the Company is a party to be terminated as of the Closing.

(f) Refunds. All refunds or credits of Taxes (including interest actually received thereon from a Taxing Authority) for which Interest Sellers are responsible pursuant to Section 7.3(a) (other than to the extent such refund or credit results from the carryback of a Tax attribute of the Company relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period and other than any such refunds or credits reflected in the Purchase Price as finally determined) shall be for the account of Interest Sellers, and Buyer shall promptly pay, or cause to be promptly paid, such amount less out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such refund or credit and less any Taxes incurred by Buyer, an Affiliate of Buyer or the Company in connection with the receipt of such refund, credit or interest. Buyer shall be entitled to all other refunds or credits of Taxes (including interest received thereon from a Taxing Authority) in respect of Taxes of the Company (including to the extent such refund or credit results from the carryback of a Tax attribute of the Company relating to a Post-Closing Tax Period or such refund or credit is reflected in the Purchase Price as finally determined), and Interest Sellers shall promptly pay such amounts to Buyer if such amounts are received by Interest Sellers or any Affiliate thereof (less out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with obtaining such refund or credit and less any Taxes incurred by Seller or an Affiliate of Seller in connection with the receipt of such refund, credit or interest).

(g) Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, excise, recording, conveyance, value added and other similar Taxes and fees resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”), if any, shall be borne by Sellers. Subject to Section 7.3(b), the party responsible under applicable Law for the filing of any Tax Return or other documents with respect to any Transfer Tax shall prepare and file such Tax Return.

26

7.4 Bank Accounts. At or prior to the Closing, Interest Sellers shall change, effective as of the Closing, the individuals authorized to draw on or having access to the bank, savings, deposit or custodial accounts and safe deposit boxes used in the Company’s business or maintained by the Company to the individuals designated in writing by Buyer.

7.5 Non-competition and Non-solicitation. The restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7.5 are made by Sellers, Carroll and Redeker (each a “Restricted Party” and collectively the “Restricted Parties”) and are necessary to protect the interests and rights being acquired by Buyer under this Agreement, as well as other legitimate business interests of Buyer and its Affiliates.

(a) From the Closing until the ten (10)-year anniversary thereof (the “Restricted Period”), without the written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld by Buyer in its sole discretion, none of the Restricted Parties shall, directly or indirectly, solicit, hire or encourage to leave the employ of Buyer or its Affiliates any employees of Buyer or its Affiliates (including without limitation any employee of the Company).

(b) During the Restricted Period, without the written consent of Buyer, which may be granted or withheld by Buyer in its sole discretion, none of the Restricted Parties shall, individually or as an employee, contractor, agent or representative of any other Person, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in the Business in North America; or (ii) have an interest in any Person that engages directly or indirectly in the Business in the North America in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Restricted Party may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any Person traded on any national securities exchange if such Restricted Party is not a controlling Person of, or a member of a group which controls, such Person and does not, directly or indirectly, own five percent (5%) or more of any class of securities of such Person.

(c) Buyer and each Restricted Party recognizes that the Laws and public policies of various states and jurisdictions may differ as to the validity and enforceability of covenants similar to those set forth in this Section 7.5. It is the intention of Buyer and each Restricted Party that the provisions of this Section 7.5 be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the Laws and public policies of each jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought, and that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform to such Laws or public policies) of any provisions of this Section 7.5 shall not render unenforceable, or impair, the remainder of the provisions of this Section 7.5. Accordingly, if any provision of this Section 7.5 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall be deemed to apply only with respect to the operation of such provision in the particular jurisdiction in which such determination is made and not with respect to any other provision or jurisdiction.

(d) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that any remedy at law for any breach of the provisions of this Section 7.5 would be inadequate, and each Restricted Party hereby consents to the granting by any court of competent jurisdiction of an injunction or other equitable relief, without the necessity of actual monetary loss being proved, in order that the breach or threatened breach of such provisions may be effectively restrained.

7.6 Off-Site Equipment. No later than fifteen (15) days following the Closing, Asset Seller shall deliver the equipment listed on Schedule 3.5(a) to the Magnolia Site at Asset Seller’s sole cost, expense and risk.

27

SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Indemnity.

(a) Each of Sellers, Carroll and Redeker, jointly and severally (if applicable), shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company following the Closing), and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, members or equity holders, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (the “Buyer Indemnitees”), from and against any Loss incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees resulting from, relating to, or arising out of: (i) any inaccuracy in, or breach of, any representation or warranty made by any Seller, Carroll or Redeker in this Agreement, including, without limitation, those contained in Sections 2, 3 and 4, but only to the extent such subject representation or warranty was made by such Seller, Carroll and/or Redeker; (ii) any breach of or failure to perform any covenant, agreement or obligation of any Seller, Carroll or Redeker contained in this Agreement, but only to the extent that such breach or failure to perform is the obligation of such Seller, Carroll and/or Redeker; (iii) any Excluded Liability (with regard to Redeker, ECR Seller and Asset Seller only); (iv) any claim by any Person alleging that such Person is entitled to a bonus or similar payment as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (v) any claim by any Person alleging that such Person is entitled to a portion of the Purchase Price proceeds, (vi) any Liability for (I) unpaid Taxes of the Company (or, with regard to Redeker, ECR Seller and Asset Seller only, Asset Seller) during any Pre-Closing Tax Period (including any portion of a Straddle Period allocable or apportioned to such of the Company or Asset Seller), (II) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, or unitary group of which the Company (or, with regard to Redeker, ECR Seller and Asset Seller only, Asset Seller) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Section 1.1502-6 of the Treasury regulations or any analogous or similar Law or regulation, and (III) Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any Law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring prior to the Closing, (vii) any Selling Expenses or Indebtedness of the Company (or, with regard to Redeker, ECR Seller and Asset Seller only, Asset Seller), to the extent not reflected in adjustments to the Purchase Price in accordance with Sections 1.4 or 1.5, (viii) the operation of the Business (or, with regard to Redeker, ECR Seller and Asset Seller only, the business of Asset Seller) prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless each Seller and each Seller’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, stockholders, members or equity holders, representatives, agents, successors and assigns (the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any Loss incurred by the Seller Indemnitees resulting from (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement, or (ii) any breach of, or failure to perform, any covenant, agreement or obligation of Buyer contained in this Agreement.

(c) In the event that any indemnified party is or may be entitled to indemnification with respect to any Loss arising from a claim asserted by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the indemnified party shall give the indemnifying party prompt notice thereof. Any failure or delay on the part of the indemnified party to give such notice shall not affect whether an indemnifying party is liable for reimbursement except and to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced thereby. The indemnifying party shall be entitled at such party’s sole cost and expense and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 8, to control, contest and defend such Third-Party Claim provided that the indemnifying party has accepted and assumed in writing the obligation to indemnify the indemnified party with respect to the Losses arising from or related to such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnifying party may not assume control of, and the indemnified party shall have the right at all times to take over and assume control of, the defense, settlement and negotiations relating to of the defense of a legal proceeding (A) involving criminal liability on the part of the indemnified party, (B) in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought

28

against the indemnified party, (C) in which increased statutory, enhanced or treble damages are sought based on willful misconduct or fraud, (D) which has been brought by a Governmental Entity, (E) with respect to which an indemnified party in good faith reasonably determines that the conduct of the defense of any legal proceeding or any proposed settlement of any such legal proceeding by the indemnifying party could reasonably be expected to adversely affect in any respect the indemnified party’s Tax liability or the ability of the indemnified party to conduct its business in any material respect (including relationships with Governmental Entities, customers, suppliers, vendors or other Persons with whom the indemnified party conducts business) or (F) of which the indemnifying party does not so assume control, or diligently pursue, the defense. Notice of the intention to so contest and defend shall be given by the indemnifying party to the indemnified party within five (5) Business Days after the indemnified party’s notice of such Third-Party Claim. Such contest and defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the indemnifying party subject to the approval of the indemnified party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. So long as the indemnifying party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.1(c), the indemnified party shall be entitled, at its own cost and expense (which expense shall not constitute a Loss unless counsel for the indemnified party advises in writing that there is a conflict of interest, and only to the extent that such expenses are reasonable), to participate in, but not control, such contest and defense and to be represented by attorneys of its or their own choosing reasonably acceptable to the indemnifying party, provided that the indemnified party will cooperate with the indemnifying party in the conduct of such defense. Neither the indemnified party nor the indemnifying party may concede, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that the indemnifying party may settle a Third-Party Claim if (A) the indemnified party is not obligated to perform or to refrain from performing any act under such settlement, there is no encumbrance on any assets of the indemnified party and there is no injunctive or other non-monetary relief; (B) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Law, violation of the rights of any Person by the indemnified party or any other liability of the indemnified party to any Person; and (C) the indemnified party receives, as a part of such settlement, a complete, general and unconditional release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the indemnifying party notifies the indemnified party in writing of the indemnifying party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and pay the amount called for by such offer, and the indemnified party declines to accept such offer, the indemnified party may continue to contest such Third-Party Claim, free of participation by the indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (x) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept or (y) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(d) In the event any indemnified party has a claim against any indemnifying party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the indemnified party shall deliver a written notice describing such claim in reasonable detail to the indemnifying party promptly after the discovery of the basis for such claim. Upon receipt of any such notice, the indemnifying party shall notify the indemnified party as to whether the indemnifying party accepts liability for any Loss.

(e) For purposes of this Section 8, any “Material Adverse Effect”, materiality and similar qualifiers contained in or otherwise applicable to any representations and warranties set forth this Agreement shall be ignored for the purpose of determining whether there exists or has occurred any inaccuracy in or breach of such representation or warranty and for the purpose of calculating the amount of applicable Losses resulting from such inaccuracy or breach.

29

(f) The rights and remedies of any party in respect of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the act, omission, occurrence or other state of facts or circumstances upon which any claim of any such inaccuracy or breach is based may also be the subject matter of any other representation, warranty, covenant or agreement as to which there is no inaccuracy or breach. The representations and warranties of Seller and Buyer’s rights to indemnification with respect thereto shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of Buyer (including by any of its advisors, consultants or representatives) or by reason of the fact that Buyer or any of such advisors, consultants or representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate.

(g) After the Closing, the Buyer shall not be entitled to recover under Section 8.1(a)(i) for any Losses arising from or relating to a breach of representations and warranties of any of Sellers, Carroll or Redeker unless the aggregate Losses for all such breaches exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Buyer may recover all Losses back to the first dollar. The Buyer shall not be entitled to recover under Section 8.1(a)(i) for aggregate Losses arising from or relating to a breach of representations and warranties of the Sellers, Carroll and Redeker of more than the Base Purchase Price (the “Cap”) for Losses arising from or relating to such breaches except to the extent that such Loss arises from or relates to (i) criminal activity, willful misconduct, fraud or intentional misrepresentation or (ii) Extended Representations or Fundamental Representations.

8.2 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, indemnification obligations and all other agreements of the parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing. No claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(i) (except any such claim relating to any Extended Representation, Fundamental Representation, intentional misrepresentation or fraud) shall be made unless written notice pursuant to this Section 8 is delivered to the indemnifying party within eighteen (18) months of the Closing Date. Any claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(i) with respect to inaccuracy in, or breach of, an Extended Representation may be made at any time prior to one hundred twenty (120) days after the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations. Any claim pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.1(b)(i) with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation or inaccuracy in, or breach of, a Fundamental Representation may be made at any time.

SECTION 9. REGISTERED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REPURCHASE OPTION

9.1 Repurchase Option of Registered Intellectual Property. If both of Carroll and Redeker, (i) within the Exercise Period (as defined below), voluntarily terminate their respective employment with Montauk Energy Holdings, LLC (“Montauk Energy”), or, (ii) within the Milestone Period, have such employment terminated by Montauk Energy either for Cause (as defined in the Employment Understandings) due to a failure to achieve the milestones set forth in Exhibit B to the Employment Understandings (a “Milestone Failure”) or other than for Cause, then Carroll and Redeker shall collectively have the right to exercise an option to repurchase (the “Repurchase Option”) the Registered Intellectual Property set forth on Schedule 9.1 (the “Repurchased IP”) from Buyer for a purchase price equal to the IP Purchase Price (as defined below), subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Repurchase Option shall expire, and neither Carroll nor Redeker shall have any further right to exercise the Repurchase Option, at the expiration of the Milestone Period, (2) neither Carroll nor Redeker shall have any right to exercise the Repurchase Option in the event of a voluntary termination of their employment with Montauk Energy following the expiration of the Exercise Period, and (3) neither Carroll nor Redeker shall have any right to exercise the Repurchase Option in the event of a termination by Montauk Energy for Cause (other than for a Milestone Failure). Carroll and Redeker may exercise the Repurchase Option by, no later than thirty (30) days after the date that the later of them voluntarily terminates his employment with Montauk Energy within the Exercise Period or is terminated by Buyer for a Milestone Failure or other than for Cause within the Milestone Period (the “Repurchase Date”), delivering written notice to Buyer and having available for payment to

9.2 Split Termination. If either Carroll or Redeker’s employment with Montauk Energy is terminated for any reason while the other remains employed, then the Repurchase Option as described in Section 9.1 shall automatically cease to be the collective right of Carroll and Redeker and shall automatically become the individual right of the remaining employee, exercisable by such remaining employee as set forth in, and subject to, Section 9.1, mutatis mutandis, and the other individual (whose employment with Montauk Energy has been terminated) shall have no further rights with respect to the Repurchase Option.

9.3 Buyer Right of First Refusal. If, after Carroll and/or Redeker (as applicable) exercise the Repurchase Option, they receive, directly or indirectly, a bona-fide offer from any Person to purchase, directly or indirectly, the Repurchased IP, then they must first offer to sell the Repurchased IP, upon the same price, terms and conditions of the bona fide offer, to Buyer by providing written notice of the offer to Buyer (the “Offer Notice”). Buyer shall have the right (the “Right of First Refusal”), exercisable by providing written notice to Carroll and Redeker no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the date Buyer received the Offer Notice (the “Acceptance Notice“), to elect to purchase the Repurchased IP on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice. If Buyer timely delivers an Acceptance Notice, then Buyer, Carroll and/or Redeker (as applicable) shall negotiate one or more agreements in good faith to effect Buyer’s purchase of the Repurchased IP, and shall work diligently to close on such purchase promptly. If Buyer does not timely deliver an Acceptance Notice, then Carroll and/or Redeker (as applicable) may sell the Repurchased IP to the Person(s) who made the initial offer on the terms set forth in the Offer Notice; provided, however, that if Carroll, Redeker and/or such Person(s) (as applicable) agree to deviate from the terms set forth in the Offer Notice, then Carroll and/or Redeker (as applicable) shall be required to resubmit such modified terms to Buyer through a new Offer Notice that will be subject to the Right of First Refusal process set forth above. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Buyer does not elect to exercise its Right of First Refusal hereunder, then Buyer shall be entitled to 50% of any sale proceeds received with respect to the underlying transaction, less the amount of the IP Purchase Price paid in connection with Carroll and/or Redeker’s exercise of the Repurchase Option. Buyer’s Right of First Refusal shall expire on the ten (10)-year anniversary of the Repurchase Date.
