Section 3.1 Purchase Price. Subject to Section 3.3 and Section 3.4, the aggregate purchase price for the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets and the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities shall be fifteen million dollars ($17,500,000) (the Preliminary Purchase Price and, as such may be adjusted pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4, the Final Purchase Price), payable in the manner set forth below.

Section 3.2 Consideration.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event any later than ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof, Purchaser shall deposit the Escrow Amount into the Escrow Account to be held in escrow and released by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement and Section 3.6.

Section 3.3 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Preparation of the Closing Statement.

(i) As soon as practicable, but no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement (the Proposed Closing Statement) setting forth Purchasers calculation of the Inventory Value and the Net Accounts Receivable, in each case as of immediately prior to the Closing (respectively, the Closing Inventory Value and the Closing Net Accounts Receivable). The Parties agree that the Closing Inventory Value and Closing Net Accounts Receivable shall be calculated in a manner consistent with the calculation methodology used by the Parties in establishing the Reference Inventory Value and the Reference Net Accounts Receivable Target.

(ii) If Seller disagrees with Purchasers calculation of the Closing Inventory Value and/or the Closing Net Accounts Receivable, Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after receiving the Proposed Closing Statement (the Review Period), deliver to Purchaser written notice describing in reasonable detail and with appropriate supporting documentation its calculation of the Inventory Value and/or the Net Accounts Receivable, as applicable, and its dispute by specifying those items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees, together with Sellers determination of such disputed items and amounts (a Dispute

Notice); provided that Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts that are not disputed in the Dispute Notice. If Seller fails to deliver a Dispute Notice within the Review Period, Seller and Purchaser agree that the Proposed Closing Statement shall be deemed to set forth the Final Inventory Value and the Final Net Accounts Receivable. If Seller delivers a Dispute Notice to Purchaser within the Review Period, Purchaser and Seller will use reasonable good faith efforts to resolve the dispute during the 30-day period commencing on the date Seller delivers the Dispute Notice to Purchaser. If Seller and Purchaser are not able to resolve all disputed items within such 30-day period, then the items remaining in dispute shall be submitted immediately to an independent nationally recognized firm with no existing or former business relationship with any Party hereto mutually agreeable to Seller and Purchaser (the Accounting Firm). The Accounting Firm shall be given reasonable access to all relevant records of Purchaser and Seller to calculate the Closing Inventory Value and/or the Closing Net Accounts Receivable, as applicable. If any remaining issues in dispute are submitted to the Accounting Firm for resolution, each of Seller and Purchaser will be afforded an opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such matters with the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to calculate, based solely on the written submissions of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other, and not by independent investigation, the Inventory Value and/or the Net Accounts Receivable, as applicable, and shall be instructed that its calculation (A) with respect to the Inventory Value, must be made in accordance with the Inventory Valuation Method, (B) with respect to the Net Accounts Receivable, in a manner consistent with the calculation methodology used by the Parties in establishing the Reference Net Accounts Receivable Target, and (C) with respect to each item in dispute, must be within the range of values established for such amount as determined by reference to the value assigned to such amount by Seller in the Dispute Notice and by Purchaser in the Proposed Closing Statement. The Accounting Firm shall submit such calculation to Purchaser and Seller as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the remaining issues in dispute are submitted to the Accounting Firm. The determination by the Accounting Firm of the Closing Inventory, as set forth in a written notice delivered to Seller and Purchaser by the Accounting Firm in accordance with this Agreement absent manifest error will be binding and conclusive on Seller and Purchaser. Closing Inventory Value as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(a)(ii) is referred to herein as the Final Inventory Value. Closing Net Accounts Receivable as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.3(a)(ii) is referred to herein as the Final Net Accounts Receivable.

(iii) In the event Seller and Purchaser submit any unresolved objections to an Accounting Firm for resolution as provided in Section 3.3(a)(ii) above, the fees and expenses of such Accounting Firm will be shared equally between Seller and Purchaser.

(iv) Purchaser shall make its financial records available to Seller and its accountants and other Representatives, and Seller shall make its financial records available to Purchaser and its accountants and other Representatives, in each case, at reasonable times during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date of the final determination of the Final Inventory Value and the Final Net Accounts Receivable pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) above, subject to customary indemnification and other agreements that may be requested by Representatives of the Parties.

(b) Purchase Price Adjustment.

(i) Inventory Adjustment. If the Final Inventory Value as determined pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) above is greater than the Reference Inventory Value or less than the Reference Inventory Value, the Preliminary Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows (the Inventory Value Adjustment):

(A) If the Final Inventory Value exceeds the Reference Inventory Value, the Preliminary Purchase Price shall, automatically, without further action by the Parties, be increased by the amount by which the Final Inventory Value exceeds the Reference Inventory Value; and

(B) If the Reference Inventory Value exceeds the Final Inventory Value, the Preliminary Purchase Price shall, automatically, without any further action by the Parties, be decreased by the amount by which the Reference Inventory Value exceeds the Final Inventory Value.

(ii) Net Accounts Receivable Adjustment. If the Final Net Accounts Receivable as determined pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) above is greater than the Net Accounts Receivable Target or less than the Net Accounts Receivable Target, the Preliminary Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows (the Net Accounts Receivable Adjustment):

(A) If the Final Net Accounts Receivable exceeds the Net Accounts Receivable Target, the Preliminary Purchase Price shall, automatically, without further action by the Parties, be increased by the amount by which the Final Net Accounts Receivable exceeds the Net Accounts Receivable Target; and

(B) If the Net Accounts Receivable Target exceeds the Final Net Accounts Receivable, the Preliminary Purchase Price shall, automatically, without any further action by the Parties, be decreased by the amount by which the Reference Inventory Value exceeds the Net Accounts Receivable Target exceeds the Final Net Accounts Receivable.

(c) Adjustment to Promissory Note. The principal amount of the Promissory Note shall, automatically without any further action by the Parties, be increased or decreased, as applicable, to reflect to the Inventory Value Adjustment and the Net Accounts Receivable Adjustment. The amount of any accrued interest on the Promissory Note shall be retroactively adjusted to the Closing Date to reflect any changes to the principal amount of the Promissory Note made pursuant to this Section 3.3(c).

Section 3.4 Revenue Purchase Price Adjustment. If, at Closing, Excess Revenues exist, as mutually agreed by the Parties in good faith, the Preliminary Purchase Price and the principal amount under the Promissory Note shall, automatically, without any further action by the Parties, be decreased by the amount of the Revenue Purchase Price Adjustment Amount as mutually determined by the Parties in good faith within five (5) Business Days of Closing.

Section 3.5 Purchase Price Allocation. Within ninety (90) Business Days after the determination of the Final Inventory Value and the Final Net Accounts Receivable in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3(a), Purchaser shall provide to Seller an allocation of the Final Purchase Price among the Purchased Assets (the Allocation). The Allocation shall be prepared by Purchaser in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Seller shall be entitled to review and comment on such schedule for thirty (30) Business Days, and Purchaser shall consider such comments in good faith. Thereafter, Purchaser shall provide Seller with Purchasers final allocation schedule. Each of Seller and Purchaser shall (a) be bound by the Allocation for purposes of determining Taxes and (b) prepare and file, and cause its Affiliates to prepare and file, its Tax Returns on a basis consistent with the Allocation. Seller and Purchaser shall not take any position inconsistent with the Allocation in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation, or otherwise unless required by a final determination by an applicable taxing authority.

Section 3.6 Escrow.

(a) As promptly as practicable, but in no event any later than ten (10) Business Days from the date hereof, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith and enter into the Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser, and shall provide for the release of the Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 3.6(b).

(b) The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Escrow Amount shall be released as follows, in each case without any action being required by Purchaser:

Section 7.7 Further Action.

Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of any amounts necessary to obtain any required Consents from third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to enter into any contracts, agreements or understandings with any third party (other than any Consents that it is required to obtain to satisfy Section 10.1(c), 10.3(c) and 10.3(e) (as it relates to Section 4.2(h)) hereof), the terms of which are not satisfactory to Seller in its reasonable discretion.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, license, sublicense or otherwise provide rights with respect to any Purchased Asset or any right thereunder if an attempted assignment, license or other provision, without the Consent of, or other action by, any third party, would constitute a breach or other contravention of a Contract with such third party or would in any way adversely affect the rights of Purchaser or Seller or any of their respective Affiliates relating to such Purchased Assets. To the extent that any of the transfers, distributions, licenses, deliveries and the assumptions required to be made in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not have been so consummated at Closing, the Parties shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to effect such consummation as promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable, including executing and delivering such further instruments of transfer and taking such other actions as the Parties may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement or to more effectively transfer to Purchaser or confirm Purchasers right, title to or interest in, all of the Purchased Assets, to put Purchaser in actual possession and operating control thereof and to permit Purchaser to exercise all rights with respect thereto (including rights under Contracts and other arrangements as to which the Consent of any third party to the transfer thereof shall not have previously been obtained). In the event and to the extent that Seller and Purchaser are unable to obtain any required Consents, Seller shall (i) at the direction and expense of Purchaser, pay, perform and discharge fully all of its obligations thereunder from and after the Closing and prior to assignment to Purchaser and (ii) without further consideration therefor, pay, assign and remit to Purchaser promptly all monies, rights and other consideration received in respect of such agreements. Seller shall exercise or exploit its rights and options under all such agreements, leases, licenses and other rights and commitments when and only as reasonably directed by Purchaser. If and when any such Consent shall be obtained (the cost of obtaining any such Consent, if any, shall be borne by Purchaser) or such agreement, lease, license or other right shall otherwise become assignable or sublicensable, Seller shall promptly assign or sublicense its agreed-to rights and obligations thereunder to Purchaser without payment of further consideration and Purchaser shall, without the payment of any further consideration therefor, assume such rights and obligations.

(c) If certain assets, rights or properties which properly constitute Purchased Assets were not transferred to Purchaser at Closing, Seller shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to transfer and deliver any and all of such assets to Purchaser without the payment by Purchaser of any further consideration therefor. If certain Excluded Assets were transferred to Purchaser at Closing, then Purchaser shall promptly take all steps reasonably necessary to transfer and deliver any and all of such Excluded Assets to Seller without the payment by Seller of any further consideration therefor.

(d) In the event that any of the parties to the Comerica Facility shall propose to amend or otherwise modify such credit arrangement and Seller would otherwise have a consent right to such amendment or modification pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, Seller agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition such consent.

Section 7.8 Intercompany Arrangements. No later than immediately prior to the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, terminate all agreements or arrangements,

(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Section 7.10 may be inadequate and, accordingly, Seller covenants and agrees that Purchaser shall, in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have at law, be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief, and to seek the remedy of specific performance with respect to any breach or threatened breach of such covenant, as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction. In addition, Seller and Purchaser agree that the terms of the covenants in this Section 7.10 are reasonable and properly required for the protection of Purchaser and the goodwill and other intangible assets being acquired by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. If, at any time of enforcement of any of the provisions of this Section 7.10, a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any particular provision or portion of this Section 7.10 is invalid and unenforceable, the Parties agree that this Section 7.10 shall be deemed amended to delete therefrom such provision or portion held to be invalid or unenforceable, such amendment to

apply only with respect to the operation of this Section 7.10 in the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication was made.

Section 12.5 Claims for Indemnification. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party shall be asserted and resolved as set forth in this Section 12.5:

(a) Third-Party Claims. In the event that any written claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party may be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days following such Indemnified Partys receipt of such claim or demand (including a copy of any related written third party demand, claim or complaint) (the Third-Party Claim), deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be relieved of its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim if the Indemnified Party fails to timely deliver the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced thereby. If a Third-Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that the Indemnified Party shall wish, to assume the defense thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall cooperate fully with the Indemnified Party and its counsel in the defense against any such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any Third-Party Claim. Neither the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, nor the Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall admit liability to, or settle, compromise or discharge any Third-Party Claim without the prior consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed In the event the Indemnified Party elects not to defend any Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend against such Third-Party Claim in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner using counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party and at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in such defense at its own expense.

(b) Direct Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly deliver an Indemnity Notice to the Indemnifying Party. The Parties agree to promptly attempt in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such Claim. If the Parties are unable to reach a resolution within fifteen days, either Party may pursue additional action, including submitting the claim to litigation. In addition, if either Party refuses to participate in a meeting or phone call, the other Party may pursue additional action, including, without limitation, submitting the claim to litigation.

(c) In the event of any claim for indemnity under Section 12.3, Purchaser agrees to give Seller and its representatives reasonable access to the books and records and employees of Purchaser in connection with the matters for which indemnification is sought to the extent Seller reasonably deems necessary in connection with its rights and obligations under this Article 12.

Section 12.6 Tax Effect; Refund or Credits. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under this Agreement shall be reduced by the amounts of any net tax benefits that are actually received by the Indemnified Party in the year of the related indemnification

payment. As used in this Section 12.6, tax benefit shall mean the net Tax savings attributable to any deduction, expense, loss, credit or refund to the Indemnified Party. The amount of any tax benefit actually received shall be equal to the actual reduction in Taxes of the Indemnified Party paid in cash, if any, determined with the applicable Tax items and the indemnity payment made or to be made taken into account as compared with the Taxes that would have been payable without the applicable Tax items.

Section 12.7 Insurance Offset. If an Indemnified Party actually receives insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments from an unaffiliated insurance carrier or unaffiliated third party prior to being indemnified, held harmless and reimbursed under Section 12.2 or Section 12.3, as applicable, with respect to such Losses, the payment by an Indemnifying Party under this Article 12 with respect to such Losses shall be reduced by the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments to the extent related to such Losses, less (a) reasonable attorneys fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery (including the payment of a deductible with respect to the same) and (b) the amount of any actual premium increase related to such insurance claim. If the Indemnified Party receives such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payments from an unaffiliated insurance carrier or unaffiliated third party after being indemnified and held harmless by an Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall pay to the Indemnifying Party the net amount of such insurance proceeds or indemnity, contribution or similar payment to the extent related to such Losses, less reasonable attorneys fees and other expenses incurred in connection with such recovery (including the payment of a deductible with respect to the same).

Section 12.8 Exclusive Remedy.

The indemnities set forth in this Article 12 apply only to matters arising out of this Agreement or the Promissory Note.

Section 12.9 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. To the extent permitted by Law, any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 12 shall be considered adjustments to the Final Purchase Price for all income Tax purposes and the Parties and their respective Affiliates agree to take no position inconsistent with such treatment in any Tax Return or proceeding before any Governmental Authority.

ARTICLE 13.

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 13.2 Public Announcements.

(a) Neither Party shall issue or make any public announcement, press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or its subject matter without the other Partys prior written consent, except for any such disclosure that is, in the opinion of the disclosing Partys counsel, required by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which the securities of the disclosing party are listed. In the event a Party is, in the opinion of its counsel, required to make a public disclosure by applicable Law or the rules of a stock exchange on which its securities are listed, such Party shall, to the extent practicable, submit the proposed disclosure in writing to the other Party prior to the date of disclosure and provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of Seller and Purchaser shall be permitted to discuss, in their reasonable discretion, the terms of this Agreement with their respective customers, suppliers and vendors and the likely impact of the transactions contemplated hereby on such relationship. As promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser agree to work together to prepare a set of talking points and answers to frequently asked questions to be used by their respective employee and Representative groups for purposes of such discussions and such Parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective employees and Representative to convey such information in a manner consistent with such talking points and FAQs.

Section 13.3 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and except as otherwise specified herein, each Party shall bear its own expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 13.4 Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall be severable, and the unenforceability, invalidity or illegality of one shall not affect the enforceability of any others or of the remainder of this Agreement.

Section 13.5 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the Parties hereto and their permitted assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder except for those rights provided in Article 12 hereof.

Section 13.6 Waiver. The failure or delay of any Party to enforce any condition or part of this Agreement at any time shall not be construed as a waiver of that condition or part, nor shall it forfeit any rights to future enforcement thereof. Any single or partial exercise of any right shall not preclude any other or future exercise thereof or any other right. Any waiver hereunder shall be effective only if delivered to the other Party hereto in writing by the Party making such waiver.

Section 13.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by the Laws of the State of Delaware without regard to the conflicts of Laws provisions thereof.

Section 13.8 Jurisdiction. The Parties hereto agree that any Action seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in any state or federal court of competent

jurisdiction in the State of Delaware, so long as such court shall have subject matter jurisdiction over such Action, and that any cause of action arising out of this Agreement shall be deemed to have arisen from a transaction of business in the State of Delaware, and each of the Parties hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of such court (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such Action and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such Action in any such court or that any such Action which is brought in such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such Action may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party agrees that service of process on such Party as provided in Section 13.14 shall be deemed effective service of process on such Party.

Section 13.9 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 13.9.

Section 13.10 Specific Performance. The Parties acknowledge that, in view of the uniqueness of the Business, the Purchased Assets and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each Party would not have an adequate remedy at Law for money damages in the event that this Agreement has not been performed in accordance with its terms, and therefore agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to specific enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at Law or in equity.

Section 13.14 Notices. All communications, notices and Consents provided for herein shall be in writing and be given in person or by means of telex, facsimile or other means of wire transmission (with request for assurance of receipt in a manner typical with respect to communications of that type), by overnight courier or by mail, and shall become effective: (a) on delivery if given in person; (b) on the date of transmission if sent by telex, facsimile or other means of wire transmission; (c) one (1) Business Day after delivery to the overnight service; or (d) four (4) Business Days after being mailed, with proper postage and documentation, for first-class registered or certified mail, prepaid.
