faith estimate draft at least three (3) Business Days prior to

include a specific line item for Accounts Receivable as of the
Closing Date, to determine the Net Working Capital (as defined
below) of the Business as of immediately prior to the Effective
Time. The term “Net Working Capital” shall mean
the consolidated net working capital of the Business as of
immediately prior to the Effective Time, which shall mean the sum
of accounts receivable, net, prepaid expenses and other current
assets minus the sum of accounts payable and accrued expenses and
other current liabilities, without giving effect to the
Contemplated Transactions. Net Working Capital as of the Closing is
estimated to be as set forth in Schedule 2.5. The
individual line items included in Net Working Capital shall be
calculated in accordance with GAAP. The term “Target Net
Working Capital” shall mean $5,837,000.
2.6 Adjustment
Procedure.
(a) Within
150 days following the Closing Date, Buyer shall recalculate
the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Final
Net Working Capital” ), (x) without giving effect to
the Contemplated Transactions except as set forth on
Schedule 2.5. and (y) omitting from accounts
receivable any Accounts Receivable that are not actually collected
(after making commercially reasonable efforts to collect such
receivables in accordance with CAI’s normal collection
policies) between the Closing Date and the date that is
145 days following the Closing Date and omitting from the
accrued expenses the related commissions payable for such omitted
Accounts Receivable, and notify in writing the Seller of such Final
Net Working Capital. Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated
pursuant to the formula set forth in Schedule 2.5
hereto and such calculations shall be set forth in the notice to
Seller in reasonable detail consistent with
Schedule 2.5. Except as set forth on
Schedule 2.5, the individual line items included in
Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated in accordance with
GAAP. Buyer shall provide the Seller with access to such working
papers used by Buyer or its representatives or agents (including,
without limitation, all accountants) to determine the Final Net
Working Capital, as the Seller shall reasonably request. Thirty
(30) days following the delivery of the Final Net Working
Capital (or if the Seller has an objection to the Final Net Working
Capital amount, within five Business Days after the final
resolution of such objection as set forth in subsection
(b) below if later than such date), the Purchase Price shall
be recalculated such that the Purchase Price will be
(i) increased by an amount equal to the excess of the Final
Net Working Capital or the Net Working Capital resulting from
subsection (b) below, as the case may be over Target Net
Working Capital, if any, or (ii) decreased by an amount equal
to the
19
excess
of the Target Net Working Capital over the Final Net Working
Capital or the Net Working Capital resulting from subsection
(b) below, as the case may be (the Purchase Price, as adjusted
pursuant to the foregoing formula is referred to as the
“Final Purchase Price” ). At such time as the
Final Purchase Price is calculated pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence, (i) the Seller shall pay to Buyer the
amount, if any, by which the Final Purchase Price is less than the
Purchase Price or (ii) Buyer shall pay to the Seller, by
depositing such amount in the Escrow Fund (as if such payment were
additional Purchase Price) an amount, if any, by which the Final
Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price.
(b) The
Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, within thirty (30) days
after receipt of notification of the Final Net Working Capital, of
any objections thereto, setting forth in such notice a statement
describing such objections (an “Objection
Notice” ). If the Seller does not deliver an Objection
Notice within such thirty (30) day period, then the Final Net
Working Capital shall be deemed final and conclusive and binding
upon each of the parties hereto for the purposes of determining the
dollar amounts therein. Buyer and the Seller shall use commercially
reasonable best efforts to resolve any such objection and to agree
upon the definitive Net Working Capital to be used to calculate the
Final Purchase Price. If within ten (10) days after
Buyer’s receipt of an Objection Notice, the parties have not
resolved such objections and agreed upon the definitive Final Net
Working Capital, Buyer and the Seller shall select Ernst &
Young, LLP, to resolve any remaining objections (the
“Firm” ) (or such other national accounting firm
as the Parties shall mutually agree). Buyer and the Seller shall
cause such Firm, within twenty (20) days after its selection,
to resolve such disagreement and to prepare the definitive Net
Working Capital to be used to calculate the Final Purchase Price,
which resolution and definitive Net Working Capital will be
conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto. The Firm’s
determination will be calculated in a manner consistent with, and
using the same methodology set forth in Schedule 2.5
and this Section 2.6. If the parties submit any
unresolved objections to the Firm for resolution as provided in
this Section 2.6(b), the fees and expenses of the Firm shall
be borne by the party whose assertion of Net Working Capital
differs most from the Firm’s determination of Net Working
Capital.

business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the
laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the

Seller’s Closing Documents will constitute the legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable against it in
accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that
enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other similar laws effecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of
equity. The Seller has the absolute and unrestricted right, power
and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the
Seller’s Closing Documents to which it is a party and to
perform its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller’s
Closing Documents, and such action has been duly authorized by all
necessary action by Seller’s board of directors and, prior to

indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time):

or any Targeted Subsidiary or (B) any resolution adopted by

any of the
Contemplated Transactions.
21

transactions contemplated hereby from the restrictions on
“affiliated transactions” and “control-share
acquisitions” contained in Sections 607.0901 and

profit participation features, nor any rights or options to
subscribe for or to purchase its Equity Interests, or (2) any
stock appreciation rights or phantom stock or similar plans or
rights. There are no (i) outstanding obligations of any
Targeted Subsidiary (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or
otherwise acquire or retire any of its Equity Interests, or

Targeted Subsidiary’s equity holders with respect to the

Liabilities. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13,
the Targeted Subsidiaries have no Liability, including accrued
customer refunds, except for Liabilities reflected or reserved
against in the Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet and

taxation by that jurisdiction. There are no Encumbrances on any of
the Assets that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged
failure) to pay any Tax by Seller or any Seller Subsidiary, and

faith by appropriate proceedings as described in
Schedule 3.14(b). Seller has delivered, or made
available to Buyer, copies of any examination reports, statements
or deficiencies or similar items with respect to such audits.
Except as provided in Schedule 3.14(b), Seller has no

raised by any Governmental Body in writing or (ii) as to which
Seller has

extensions (or is or would be subject to a waiver or extension
given by any other Person) of any statute of limitations relating
to the payment of Taxes of Seller or for which Seller may be

agreement or other arrangement relating to Taxes) that will require
any payment by Seller or any Seller Subsidiary. Any Tax sharing
agreement between Seller and any of the Targeted Subsidiaries will
be 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).
(iii)

of each Employee Plan that is a funded plan equal or exceed the
amount of all benefit liabilities (determined on a plan termination
basis using the actuarial assumptions established by the PBGC as of
the Closing Date) of such Employee Plan. Seller is not required to
provide security to an Employee Plan under Section 401(a)(29)
of the Code. Seller has paid in full all required insurance
premiums, subject only to normal retrospective adjustments in the
ordinary course, with regard to the Employee Plans for all policy
years or other applicable policy periods ending on or before the
Closing Date.
27
(d) No

(f) Seller
has, at all times, complied, and currently complies, in all
material respects with the applicable continuation requirements for
its welfare benefit plans, including (1) Section 4980B of the
Code (as well as its predecessor provision, Section 162(k) of the
Code) and Sections 601 through 608, inclusive, of ERISA, which
provisions are hereinafter referred to collectively as “
COBRA ” and (2) any applicable state statutes
mandating health insurance continuation coverage for
employees.
(g) The
form of all Employee Plans is in compliance with the applicable
terms of ERISA, the Code, and any other applicable laws, including
the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Family Medical
Leave Act of 1993 and the Health Insurance Portability and
Accountability Act of 1996, and such plans have been operated in
compliance with such laws and the written Employee Plan documents.
Neither Seller nor any of its ERISA Affiliates’ employees or
directors who are fiduciaries, nor the Knowledge of Seller, any
other fiduciary of an Employee Plan has violated the requirements
of Section 404 of ERISA with respect to such Employee Plan.
All required reports and descriptions of the Employee Plans
(including Internal Revenue Service Form 5500 Annual Reports,
Summary Annual Reports and Summary Plan Descriptions and Summaries
of Material Modifications) have been (when required) timely filed
with the IRS, the U.S. Department of Labor or other Governmental
Body and distributed as required, and all notices required by ERISA
or the Code or any other Legal Requirement with respect to the
Employee Plans have been appropriately given.
(h) Each
Employee Plan that is intended to be qualified under
Section 401 (a) of the Code has received a favorable
determination letter from the IRS, or if a prototype document, is
subject to an opinion letter that may be relied upon, and Seller
has no Knowledge of any circumstances that will or could result in
revocation of any such favorable determination letter or opinion
letter. Each trust created under any Employee Plan has been
determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501
(a) of the Code, and Seller is not aware of any circumstance
that will or could result in a revocation of such exemption. Each
Employee Welfare Benefit Plan (as defined in Section 3(1) of
ERISA) that utilizes a funding vehicle described in
Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or is subject to the provisions
of Section 505 of the Code has been the subject of a
notification by the IRS that such funding vehicle qualifies for
tax-exempt status under Section 501(c)(9) of the Code or that
the plan complies with Section 505 of the Code, unless the IRS
does not, as a matter of policy, issue such notification with
respect to the particular type of
28
plan.
With respect to each Employee Plan, no event has occurred or
condition exists that will or could give rise to a loss of any
intended Tax consequence or to any Tax under Section 511 of
the Code.
(i) There
is no pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened Proceeding
relating to any Employee Plan, nor is there any basis for any such
Proceeding. Neither Seller nor any of its ERISA Affiliates’
employees or directors who are fiduciaries, or to the Knowledge of
Seller, any other fiduciary of an Employee Plan has engaged in a
transaction with respect to any Employee Plan that, assuming the
taxable period of such transaction expired as of the date hereof,
could subject Seller or Buyer to a Tax or penalty imposed by either
Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(1) of ERISA or a
violation of Section 406 of ERISA. The Contemplated
Transactions will not result in the potential assessment of a Tax
or penalty under Section 4975 of the Code or
Section 502(1) of ERISA nor result in a violation of
Section 406 of ERISA.
(j) Seller
has maintained workers’ compensation coverage as required by
applicable state law through purchase of insurance and not by
self-insurance or otherwise except as disclosed to Buyer on
Schedule 3.16(j).
(k) The
consummation of the Contemplated Transactions will not accelerate
the time of vesting or the time of payment, or increase the amount,
of compensation due to any director, employee, officer, former
employee or former officer of Seller that will result in liability
to CAI, the Buyer or any Targeted Subsidiary. There are no
contracts or arrangements providing for payments that could subject
any person to liability for Tax under Section 4999 of the
Code. Buyer shall have no Liability, and Seller shall exclusively
be liable, for any responsibilities, liabilities or obligations
described in Section 10.1(e)(ii) or in
Section 10.1(e)(iii) hereof.
(1) Except
for the continuation coverage requirements of COBRA, Seller has no
obligations or potential liability for benefits to employees,
former employees or their respective dependents following
termination of employment or retirement under any of the Employee
Plans that are Employee Welfare Benefit Plans that will result in
liability to CAI, the Buyer or any Targeted Subsidiary.
(m) None
of the Contemplated Transactions will result in an amendment,
modification or termination of any of the Employee Plans that will
result in Liability to CAI, the Buyer or any Targeted Subsidiary.
No written or oral representations have been made to any employee
or former employee of Seller promising or guaranteeing any employer
payment or funding for the continuation of medical, dental, life or
disability coverage for any period of time beyond the end of the
current plan year (except to the extent of coverage required under
COBRA) that will result in Liability to CAI, the Buyer or any
Targeted Subsidiary. No written or oral representations have been
made by Seller or the Targeted Subsidiaries, or any of their
respective affiliates, to any employee or former employee of Seller
concerning the employee benefits of Buyer.
(n) With
respect to any Multiemployer Plan to which Seller or any ERISA
Affiliate of Seller has at any time had an obligation to
contribute:
(i) all
contributions required by the terms of such Multiemployer Plan and
any collective bargaining agreement have been made when due;
and
(ii) neither
Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller would be subject to any
withdrawal liability under Part 1 of Subtitle E of Title IV of
ERISA if, as of the date hereof, Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of
Seller were to engage in a “complete withdrawal” (as
defined in ERISA Section 4203) or a “partial
withdrawal” (as defined in ERISA Section 4205) from such
Multiemployer Plan.
29
(o) With
respect to any Employee Plan that is a “multiple employer
welfare arrangement” within the meaning of
Section 3(40)(A) of ERISA (a “MEWA”), and any
other MEWA to which Seller or any ERISA Affiliate of Seller has at
any time had an obligation to contribute:
(i) such
MEWA has complied at all times with all applicable state laws;
and
(ii) neither
Seller nor any ERISA Affiliate of Seller would be subject to any
Liability under any applicable state law if, as of the date hereof,

of CAI, the Buyer or any Targeted Subsidiary shall have any
Liability with respect to any Employee Plan after the Effective
Time.
