NJBCA (“ Dissenting Shares ”)) shall be canceled and extinguished and converted into the right to receive such portion of the Merger Consideration as set forth on Annex I attached hereto pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 1.7 hereof. Promptly after the execution of this Agreement, but prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to Parent a schedule (the “ Allocation Spreadsheet ”) showing, among other matters, (i) the amount of cash to be received by each holder of Company Capital Stock at the Effective Time as provided for in this Section 1.6(a) based on the formulas set forth in Annex I and the assumptions set forth in such schedule, and (ii) a true, complete and correct list of the aggregate number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each stockholder.

Parent shall be responsible for the fees and expenses incurred as a result of its actions as Payment Agent.

     (c) Upon surrender of Company Certificates to the Payment Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal (including the accompanying Substitute Form W-9), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Company Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 and Annex I , and the Company Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Company Certificate that, prior to the Effective Time, represented one or more shares of Company Capital Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes to evidence only the right to receive that portion of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of such shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1.6 and Annex I .

If any cash is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Company Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it shall be a condition of the payment thereof that the Company Certificate so surrendered has been properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the person requesting such exchange has paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the payment of cash in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Company

At any time following six months after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will be entitled to require the Payment Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any earnings received with respect thereto) which had been made available to the Payment Agent and which have not been disbursed to holders of Company Certificates, and thereafter such holders will be entitled to look only to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar laws) and only as general creditors thereof with respect to the portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon due surrender of their Company Certificates, without any interest thereon.

For purposes hereof, the term “ Reserve Amount ” shall mean the sum of any amounts set forth in any Indemnification Notices or Claim Notices provided pursuant to Section 7.3 hereof which describe in reasonable detail the nature and amount of any such claim or claims (provided, however, that if any such notice includes a good faith statement that the relevant Parent Indemnitee is not reasonably capable of determining a material portion of the potential Losses from such claim or claims, the Reserve Amount shall be: (i) if the maximum potential Losses can be reasonably estimated in good faith by the relevant Parent Indemnitee, the maximum amount of such potential Losses or (ii) if such maximum amount cannot be reasonably estimated in good faith (such assertion to be supported by a letter from the relevant Parent Indemnitee’s outside counsel), the full balance remaining in the Escrow Account), with each

such Claim being deemed a part of the Reserve Amount until the final disposition of the Claim or Claims underlying such amounts.
      1.9 Working Capital Adjustment .
     (a) As used herein, “ Working Capital ” shall mean the Company’s working capital as defined in accordance with GAAP applied in a manner consistent with that used by the parties hereto in determining the Working Capital Target as set forth on Section 1.9 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule. The specific components of and guidelines for determining the Working Capital shall be as described and set forth on said Section 1.9 of the Parent Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of this Section 1.9 , the “ Working Capital Target ” shall be $8,800,000.
     (b) Contemporaneously with Parent’s post-Closing delivery of the financial statements of the Company and Surviving Corporation as part of its required Form 8-K filing as specified in Rule 3-05(b) of Regulation S-X, Parent shall deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement (the “ Preliminary Adjustment Statement ”) setting forth the Closing Working Capital. The Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be prepared as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date on a basis consistent with the methodology set forth in this Section 1.9 . All expenses incurred in connection with the preparation of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall be the responsibility of Parent. In preparing the Preliminary Adjustment Statement it shall be assumed that the Business shall be continued as a going concern and there shall not be taken into account any of the plans, transactions or changes that Parent intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made at or after the Closing Date with respect to the Business.
     (c) The Stockholder Representative or his designees and agents shall be entitled to review the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and any working papers and similar materials relating to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement prepared by Parent or its accountants. Parent also shall provide the Stockholder Representative with timely access, during normal business hours, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Surviving Corporation and all other information reasonably requested, to the extent related to the determination of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement. The Stockholder Representative agrees to keep any and all such information received by him confidential and not to disclose such information or otherwise use it for any purposes other than reviewing the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and to resolve any disputes with respect to the foregoing.
     (d) The Stockholder Representative shall review the Preliminary Adjustment Statement and, on or before the thirtieth (30th) day after the Stockholder Representative’s receipt of the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, the Stockholder Representative shall deliver to Parent, in writing, any objection or dispute thereto which the Stockholder Representative may have with respect to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement. If the Stockholder Representative fails to make a timely objection to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, the Stockholder Representative will be deemed, on behalf of the Company Stockholders to have accepted the Preliminary Adjustment Statement. If the Stockholder Representative makes a timely objection to the Preliminary Adjustment Statement, and Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve their disputes within fifteen (15) days after the objection of the Stockholder Representative, the dispute shall be resolved by the Independent Accountants. The determinations of the Independent Accountants shall be final, binding and conclusive to Parent, the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Stockholders and their respective Affiliates,

-6-


 
successors, assigns or heirs. The fees, expenses and disbursements of the Independent Accountants (i) shall be borne by the Company Stockholders and payable from the Escrow Amount in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Stockholder Representative bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be borne by Parent in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by the Stockholder Representative bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted.
     (e) The Preliminary Adjustment Statement shall become the “ Final Adjustment Statement ” unless timely and properly disputed or objected to by the Stockholder Representative in accordance with Section 1.9(d) above or otherwise as determined by the Independent Accountants, and, as such, shall become final, binding and conclusive upon Parent, the Stockholder Representative on behalf of the Company Stockholders and their respective Affiliates, successors, assigns or heirs for all purposes of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 1.9 , “ Closing Working Capital ” means the Working Capital reflected on the Final Adjustment Statement.
     (f) If the Closing Working Capital is less than the Working Capital Target (a “ Working Capital Shortfall ”), the Company Stockholders shall pay to Parent the amount of such Working Capital Shortfall, which payment shall be made, without interest, by means of a wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Escrow Amount. If the Closing Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital Target (a “ Working Capital Excess ”), Parent shall pay such Working Capital Excess, without interest, to the Payment Agent. The Payment Agent shall then promptly distribute the amount of any Working Capital Excess received from Parent such that each Company Stockholder shall receive an amount equal to: (x) the Working Capital Excess multiplied by (y) a fraction (i) the numerator of which is the total number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Company Stockholder as of the Effective Time, and (ii) the denominator of which is the aggregate number of issued and outstanding shares of held by all of the Company Stockholders as of the Effective Time. For Tax purposes, any payment by under this Section 1.9 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
      1.10 Performance Based Consideration Provisions . In addition to the Merger Consideration, Parent will pay to the Payment Agent for distribution to each Company Stockholder in the same allocation and same manner as the Merger Consideration, an amount equal to the “ Additional Consideration ” as determined pursuant to the terms of the Earnout Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “ Earnout Agreement ”), which Additional Consideration in no event will exceed Ninety Million Dollars ($90,000,000).
      1.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock . All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
      1.12 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates . In the event any Company Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates, upon the making of an

-7-


 
affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the portion of the Merger Consideration payable pursuant to Section 1.6 and Annex I with respect to shares of Company Capital Stock represented by such certificates; provided , however , that Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance and payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Certificates to deliver to Parent an affidavit of loss, theft or destruction in form reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the posting by such owner of a bond, in such amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates or agents with respect to Company Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.
      1.13 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action . At any time after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Merger Sub, the Company and the Surviving Corporation shall take such further action as may be reasonably requested by Parent which is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Parent with control over, and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to, all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company.
