3.1 Consideration. The aggregate consideration for the Shares shall be an amount in cash equal to (i) Eleven Million Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($11,025,000), (ii) plus or minus the amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.3, (iii) less any Indebtedness of the Company as of the Closing Date to the extent not paid at the Closing, and (iv) less any expenses of the Company incurred in connection with this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”).

(a) On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay an amount in cash equal to the Purchase Price to the Shareholder by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with wire instructions set forth on Schedule 3.2(a).

(i) Not later than three days prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall provide Purchaser with an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of the estimated Closing Working Capital, derived from the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (“Estimated Closing Working Capital”), which Estimated Closing Working Capital is attached hereto as Schedule I. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital shall be prepared by the Company and the Shareholder in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation and accrual methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and Estimated Closing Working Capital were being prepared as of a fiscal year end.

(ii) If Estimated Closing Working Capital is a positive number, the Purchase Price payable at Closing by Purchaser will be increased by the Estimated Closing Working Capital amount; provided, however, that regardless of the Estimated Closing Working Capital amount, the Purchase Price will not be increased by more than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) pursuant to this Section 3.3. If Estimated Closing Working Capital is a negative number, the Purchase Price payable at Closing by Purchaser will be decreased by the Estimated Closing Working Capital amount.

(i) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be adjusted as provided herein to reflect the difference between Closing Working Capital and Estimated Closing Working Capital. “Closing Working Capital” means (i) the consolidated Included Current Assets of the Company, less (ii) the consolidated Included Current Liabilities of the Company, determined as of the open of business on the Closing Date. “Included Current Assets” means cash, prepaid expenses, accounts receivable (without any allowances for bad debt), inventory (less inventory reserves) and work in process of the Company, determined in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such accounts were being prepared as of a fiscal year end. “Included Current Liabilities” means accounts payable, advances, accrued Taxes (including amounts accrued by the Company in respect of Tax liability that would be incurred if it was determined that the Company was not a validly electing “S” corporation), retirement contributions, accrued expenses, vacation payable, customer deposits, severance, bonus and phantom stock payments and other obligations that may be triggered or vested by the transactions contemplated hereby, determined in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such accounts were being prepared as of a fiscal year end.

(ii) Within 90 days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholder a balance sheet of Company as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement of Closing Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Working Capital Statement”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied using the same accounting methods, practices, principles, policies and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and valuation and estimation methodologies that were used in the preparation of the Company’s Financial Statements for the most recent fiscal year end as if such Closing Balance Sheet was as of a fiscal year end.

(iii) If Purchaser receives confirmation that the IRS has approved the Shareholder’s Subchapter S Approval Request effective as of May 19, 1989 (the “Subchapter S Approval”) prior to submitting the Closing Balance Sheet pursuant to Section 3.3(b)(ii) above, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement prepared by Purchaser shall reflect the Subchapter S Approval by reversing any amount accrued in Estimated Closing Working Capital in respect of Tax liability that would be incurred if it was determined that the Company was not a validly electing “S” corporation. If, subsequent to submitting the Closing Working Capital Statement to Shareholder, (A) Purchaser receives the Subchapter S Approval; (B) otherwise receives evidence satisfactory to Purchaser that the Company will be treated as a subchapter S corporation from May 19, 1989 through the Closing Date; or (C) three years have passed since the Company filed its federal income Tax Return for fiscal year 2010, and prior thereto no Taxing Authority has taken the position that the Company is not a validly electing “S” corporation, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Shareholder the amount accrued in Estimated Closing Working Capital in respect of Tax liability that would be incurred if it was determined that the Company was not a validly electing “S” corporation.

(iv) Dispute Procedures. The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon) delivered by Purchaser to the Shareholder shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties unless the Shareholder, within 20 days after delivery to the Shareholder of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement, notifies Purchaser in writing that the Shareholder disputes any of the amounts set forth therein, specifying the nature of the dispute and the basis therefor. The parties shall in good faith attempt to resolve any dispute, in which event the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Statement (and the computation of Closing Working Capital indicated thereon), as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement resolving the dispute within 20 days after notice is given by the Shareholder to Purchaser pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the parties shall submit the dispute to a mutually satisfactory partner in the Houston, Texas office of a mutually agreeable independent accounting firm (the “Arbiter”) for resolution. If the parties cannot agree on the selection of a partner at an independent accounting firm to act as Arbiter, the parties shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint such a partner, and such appointment shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Promptly, but no later than 20 days after acceptance of his or her appointment as Arbiter, the Arbiter shall determine (it being understood that in making such determination, the Arbiter shall be functioning as an expert and not as an arbitrator), based solely on written submissions by Purchaser and the Shareholder, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a written report as to the resolution of the dispute and the resulting computation of the Closing Working Capital which shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. All proceedings conducted by the Arbiter shall take place in Houston, Texas. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 3.3 and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such items claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such items claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter (1) shall be borne by Purchaser in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted that are successfully disputed by the Shareholder (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (2) shall be borne by the Shareholder in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Shareholder (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted.

(v) Payment. Upon final determination of Closing Working Capital as provided in Section 3.3(b)(iv) above, (A) if Closing Working Capital is greater than Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the excess of Closing Working Capital over Estimated Closing Working Capital and Purchaser shall promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after such final determination, pay to Shareholder the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment thereof as determined below; provided, however, that the aggregate increase in the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(ii) and this Section 3.3(b)(v) shall not exceed Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), and (B) if Closing Working Capital is less than Estimated Closing Working Capital, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the excess of Estimated Closing Working Capital over Closing Working Capital and the Shareholder shall promptly, but no later than five (5) business days after such final determination, pay to Purchaser the amount of such difference, together with interest thereon from the Closing Date to the date of payment thereof as determined below.

(vi) Interest. For the purposes of this Section 3.3(b), interest will be payable at the “prime” rate, as announced by The Wall Street Journal, from time to time to be in effect, calculated based on a 365 day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

(b) For a period of five (5) years from and after the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any individual who was an employee of the Company at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date to leave such employment or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual; or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any Person that was an actual or prospective client, customer, supplier, or licensor of the Company at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date, or any other Person who had a material business relationship with the Company at, or at any time prior to, the Closing Date to terminate or modify any such relationship with the Company. The foregoing covenants shall apply to the Shareholder regardless of the extent to which, following the Closing Date, Purchaser combines the Company’s business with Purchaser’s business, or causes Company employees to become employees of Purchaser.

(c) From and after the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of Purchaser or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than Purchaser, any Confidential Information (as defined below). The Shareholder shall not have any obligation to keep confidential (or cause the Company or its officers, directors or Affiliates to keep confidential) any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable Law, the Shareholder shall, to the extent reasonably possible, provide Purchaser with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any disclosure so that Purchaser may seek an appropriate protective order. For purposes of this Section 7.6(c), “Confidential Information” shall mean any confidential information with respect to the Company, including, methods of operation, customers, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters. “Confidential Information” does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder or (iii) is required by law or legal process to be disclosed, following prior written notice to the Company.

(d) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 7.6 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 7.6 will cause irreparable injury to the parties, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Therefore, Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 7.6. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 7.6 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity. In the event that Purchaser were to seek damages for any breach of this Section 7.6, the portion of the consideration delivered to the Shareholder hereunder which is allocated by the parties to the foregoing covenant shall not be considered a measure of or limit on such damages.

(e) The parties hereto agree that, if any court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment or decision determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 7.6 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser period of time, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.

7.7 Preservation of Records. The Shareholder and Purchaser agree that each of them shall (and shall cause the Company to) preserve and keep the records held by them relating to the respective businesses of the Company for a period of seven (7) years from the Closing Date and shall make such records and personnel available to the other as may be reasonably required by such party in connection with, among other things, any insurance claims by, legal proceedings against or governmental investigations of the Shareholder, the Company, or Purchaser or any of their Affiliates or in order to enable the Shareholder or Purchaser to comply with their respective obligations under this Agreement and each other agreement, document or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby. In the event the Shareholder wishes to destroy (or permit to be destroyed) such records after that time, it shall first give ninety (90) days prior written notice to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right at its option and expense, upon prior written notice given to the Shareholder within that ninety (90) day period, to take possession of the records within one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of such notice.

(a) Neither the Shareholder nor Purchaser shall (and the Shareholder shall cause the Company not to) issue any press release or public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining the prior written approval of the other party hereto, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless, in the sole judgment of Purchaser or the Shareholder, disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by the applicable rules of any stock exchange on which Purchaser or its Affiliates lists securities, provided that, to the extent required by applicable Law, the party intending to make such release shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts consistent with such applicable Law to consult with the other party with respect to the text thereof.

(b) Each of Purchaser, the Company, and the Shareholder agrees that the terms of this Agreement shall not be disclosed or otherwise made available to the public and that copies of this Agreement shall not be publicly filed or otherwise made available to the public, except where such disclosure, availability or filing is required by applicable Law and only to the extent required by such Law.

7.9 Use of Name. The Shareholder hereby agrees that upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Purchaser and the Company shall have the sole right to the use of the name “Cyvex Nutrition” or similar names and any service marks, trademarks, trade names, identifying symbols, logos, emblems, signs or insignia related thereto or containing or comprising the foregoing, including any name or mark confusingly similar thereto (collectively, the “Company Marks”). The Shareholder shall not, and shall not permit its Affiliates to, use such names or any variation or simulation thereof or any of the other Company Marks.

7.10 Environmental Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall cause the Company to promptly file all materials required by Environmental Laws as a result of or in furtherance of the transaction contemplated hereunder, including, but not limited to any notifications or approvals required under environmental property transfer laws, and all requests required or necessary for the transfer or re-issuance of Environmental Permits required to conduct the Company’s business. Purchaser shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with Shareholder with respect to such filings.

(a) The Shareholder shall encourage and use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the commitment of all employees of the Company listed on Schedule 5.17 to remain employed by Company or Purchaser or its Affiliates following the Closing Date, although Purchaser or its Affiliates shall have no obligation to employ any employee of the Company, or to assume any liability of the Company to any employee or former employee. The terms of employment and benefits for such employees shall be consistent with Purchaser’s standard employment packages for comparably situated employees.

(b) The Shareholder shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure the commitment of all consultants to the Company listed on Schedule 5.17 to continue their association with the Company or Purchaser or its Affiliates as necessary and sufficient for Purchaser to conduct the business of the Company following the Closing.

7.12 Subchapter “S” Approval. The Shareholder submitted to the IRS a request for approval of the Shareholder’s subchapter “S” election for the Company in accordance with Rev. Proc. 2004-35 (the “Subchapter S Approval Request”). The Shareholder shall promptly furnish to Purchaser copies of all responses received from the IRS related to the Subchapter S Approval Request and shall submit to Purchaser for review and approval any additional documents or correspondence to be submitted to the IRS related to the Subchapter S Approval Request or the Company’s S corporation status. The Shareholder and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such documents or correspondence.

7.13 Shareholder Release. The Shareholder hereby releases the Company and its officers and directors from any and all obligations, liabilities, claims, losses, damages, judgments, debts, dues and suits of every kinds, nature and description whatsoever that the Shareholder had, now has or may have against the Company and its officers and directors as of the Closing Date related to the Shareholder’s position as a stockholder of the Company or as an employee, officer or director of the Company; provided that the Shareholder does not hereby release the Company in respect of (a) any indemnification rights the Shareholder may have under the Indemnification Agreement between the Company and the Shareholder dated December 1, 2010 or (2) the Shareholder’s rights under the Consulting Agreement of even date herewith between the Company and the Shareholder. The Shareholder acknowledges and expressly waives any and all rights under California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides that:

“A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known to him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

The Shareholder understands and acknowledges that even if he should eventually suffer additional damage, loss or injury arising out of the facts and circumstances of his status as a shareholder, employee, officer or director of the Company, he will not be able to make any claim for those damages, losses or injuries; and he will not be able to make any claim for any damage, loss or injury which may exist as of the date of this Agreement, but which he may not know or realize to exist and which if known, would materially affect his decision to execute this Agreement, regardless of whether that lack of knowledge is the result of ignorance, oversight, error, negligence or any other cause.

9.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the parties contained in Articles V and VI of this Agreement shall survive the Closing through and including the fifteen-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Shareholder set forth in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, and 5.7 and the representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in Sections 6.2 and 6.3 shall survive the Closing until ninety (90) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the particular matter that is the subject matter thereof (in each case, the “Survival Period”); provided further, however, that any obligations to indemnify and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any Losses as to which the Person to be indemnified shall have given notice (stating in reasonable detail the basis of the claim for indemnification) to the indemnifying party in accordance with Section 9.3(a) before the termination of the applicable Survival Period.

(a) Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.4 hereof, the Shareholder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and the Company and their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, stockholders, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(i) any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, damages, costs and expenses (individually, a “Loss” and, collectively, “Losses”) based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty of the Shareholder or the Company set forth in this Agreement or in any of the Shareholder Documents, to be true and correct in all respects at the date hereof and at the Closing Date;

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of the Shareholder under this Agreement or the Shareholder Documents;

(iii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from (a) claims made in pending or future lawsuits, actions, investigations or other legal, governmental or administrative proceedings, (b) claims made by the Shareholder, or (c) actual or alleged violations of Law, breach of contract, employment practices or health and safety matters, in the case of each of clauses (a), (b) and (c), arising out of or relating to events that occurred, conditions that existed, services performed, or the ownership or operation of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses prior to the Closing Date;

(iv) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from any Indebtedness of the Company or its Subsidiaries outstanding at any time prior to the Closing Date;

(v) any and all Losses imposed under or pursuant to Environmental Laws arising from or related to any condition, act or omission, by the Company or any predecessor thereof or related to the operations of the Company or any predecessor thereof at any real property currently or formerly owned, operated or leased by the Company, whether known or unknown, accrued or contingent, to the extent existing on or prior to the Closing Date, including, but not limited to any Environmental Costs and Liabilities, any liabilities including those imposed pursuant to common law associated with a Release of Hazardous Materials; and

(vi) any and all notices, actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments, judgments, costs, penalties and expenses, including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and disbursements (collectively, “Expenses”) incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder.

(b) Subject to Sections 9.1 and 9.4, Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Shareholder and its attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Shareholder Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against:

(i) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any representation or warranty of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement or any of Purchaser Documents, to be true and correct at the date hereof and at the Closing Date;

(ii) any and all Losses based upon, attributable to or resulting from the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Purchaser under this Agreement or any of Purchaser Documents; and

(iii) any and all Expenses incident to any and all Losses with respect to which indemnification is provided hereunder.

(a) In the event that any Legal Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand shall be asserted by any Person in respect of which payment may be sought under Section 9.2 hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 9.4) (“Indemnification Claim”), the indemnified party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Indemnification Claim of which it has knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall have the right, at its sole expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, which must be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder; provided that the indemnifying party shall have acknowledged in writing to the indemnified party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the indemnified party as provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, it shall within five (5) days (or sooner, if the nature of the Indemnification Claim so requires) notify the indemnified party of its intent to do so. If the indemnifying party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim which relates to any Losses indemnified against hereunder, fails to notify the indemnified party of its election as herein provided or contests its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party for such Losses under this Agreement, the indemnified party may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnified party defends any Indemnification Claim, then the indemnifying party shall reimburse the indemnified party for the Expenses of defending such Indemnification Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If the indemnifying party shall assume the defense of any Indemnification Claim, the indemnified party may participate, at his or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that such indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) so requested by the indemnifying party to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that the indemnifying party shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any Indemnification Claim. The parties hereto agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.3 to the contrary, neither the indemnifying party nor the indemnified party shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Indemnification Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant and such party provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Indemnification Claim. 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, subject to the applicable limitations of Section 9.4, 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 Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the indemnifying party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the indemnifying party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (A) the amount of the settlement offer that the indemnified party declined to accept plus the Losses of the indemnified party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer or (B) the aggregate Losses of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. If the indemnifying party makes any payment on any Indemnification Claim, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the indemnified party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the indemnified party with respect to such Indemnification Claim.

(b) After any final decision, judgment or award shall have been rendered by a Governmental Body of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of the time in which to appeal therefrom, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the indemnified party and the indemnifying party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to an Indemnification Claim hereunder, the indemnified party shall forward to the indemnifying party notice of any sums due and owing by the indemnifying party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and the indemnifying party shall be required to pay all of the sums so due and owing to the indemnified party by wire transfer of immediately available funds within ten (10) Business Days after the date of such notice.

(c) The failure of the indemnified party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Indemnification Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the indemnifying party’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that the indemnifying party can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure.

9.4 Limitations on Indemnification for Breaches of Representations and Warranties.

(a) Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against the Shareholder for indemnification under Section 9.2(a) for Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds $50,000 (the “Threshold”), in which event Purchaser Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all Losses, including those below the Threshold. For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses incurred in respect of the Threshold, any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications in the representations and warranties shall be ignored.

(b) Except (i) in the case of fraud or willful misconduct, (ii) in connection with Losses related to the breach of any representation and warranty of the Shareholder in Sections 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 or 5.7 or (iii) with respect to the failure of the Company to have been a validly electing “S” corporation from its inception up to and including the day before the Closing Date, the Shareholder shall not be required to indemnify any Person under Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.5 for an aggregate amount of Losses exceeding fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price.

(c) The Shareholder shall have no recourse against the Company or its respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, agents, attorneys, representatives, assigns or successors for any Indemnification Claims asserted by Purchaser Indemnified Parties.

(a) Tax Indemnification. Subject to Section 9.4(b), the Shareholder hereby agrees to be liable for and to indemnify and hold Purchaser Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses and Expenses in respect of (i) all Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor thereof) (A) for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, and (B) for the portion of any Straddle Period ending at the close of business on the Closing Date (determined as provided in Section 9.5(d)); (ii) any and all Taxes imposed on any member of a consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company (or any predecessor thereof) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, by reason of the liability of the Company (or any predecessor thereof), pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision under state, local or foreign Law); (iii) the failure of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 5.11 to be true and correct in all respects (determined without regard to any qualification related to materiality contained therein) or the failure to perform any covenant contained in this Agreement with respect to Taxes; and (iv) any failure by the Shareholder to timely pay any and all Taxes required to be borne by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.5(f); and (v) any Taxes resulting from, arising out of or based on the Section 338(h)(10) Election (as defined in Section 9.5(b)); provided, however, Purchaser shall pay to Shareholder an additional amount to cause Shareholder’s after-Tax net proceeds from the sale of Company stock with the Section 338(h)(10) Election to be equal to the after-Tax net proceeds Shareholder would have received had the Section 338(h)(10) Election not been made, taking into account all appropriate federal, state and local tax implications.

(i) If Shareholder receives the Subchapter S Approval or otherwise is satisfied that the Company will be treated as a subchapter S corporation from May 19, 1989 through the Closing Date, Purchaser may send written notice to Shareholder requesting that Shareholder join Purchaser in making an election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations and any corresponding or similar elections under state, local or foreign tax law (collectively, the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the sale of the Shares. For the purpose of making the Section 338(h)(10) Election for federal income tax purposes, within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such notice, the Shareholder shall deliver to Purchaser an executed original IRS Form 8023 (or successor form). If a Section 338(h)(10) Election is to be made, Purchaser will file the Form 8023 with the IRS at least 30 days prior to the due date of such form, and Purchaser will provide the Shareholder a copy of such filing. If the Section 338(h)(10) Election requires Shareholder to file an amended federal Tax Return for 2010, Purchaser shall reimburse Shareholder for the reasonable cost of preparing such amended Tax Return up to an amount not to exceed $10,000. In the event Purchaser does not request that the Shareholder join in making the Section 338(h)(10) Election, the remainder of the provisions of this Section 9.5(b) shall not apply.

(ii) Purchaser shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of all forms and documents required to effectuate the Section 338(h)(10) Election. In addition to the Form 8023, the Shareholder shall execute (or cause to be executed) and deliver to Purchaser such additional documents or forms as are reasonably requested to complete properly the Section 338(h)(10) Election at least 30 days prior to the date such Section 338(h)(10) Election is required to be filed.

(iii) Purchaser and the Shareholder shall file, and shall cause their Affiliates to file, all Tax Returns and statements, forms and schedules in connection therewith in a manner consistent with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and shall take no position contrary thereto unless required to do so by applicable tax laws.

(iv) Within (60) days after notifying the Shareholder of its intent to make a Section 338(h)(10) Election, Purchaser shall provide to the Shareholder a statement (the “Allocation Statement”) allocating the Purchase Price and any other items that are treated as additional Purchase Price for tax purposes among the different items of assets of the Company. Thereafter, Purchaser shall provide to the Shareholder from time to time revised copies of the Allocation Statement (the “Revised Statements”) so as to report any matters on the Allocation Statement that needs updating (including Purchase Price adjustments, if any). Purchaser and the Shareholder shall allocate the Purchase Price in accordance with the Allocation Statement or, if applicable, the last Revised Statements provided by Purchaser to the Shareholder, and all Tax Returns and reports filed by Purchaser, the Shareholder, and their respective Affiliates shall be prepared consistently with such allocation.

(i) Prior to the Closing, the Shareholder shall cause the Company to timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed by it when due and Shareholder shall pay or cause to be paid all income taxes shown due thereon. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with prior practice. The Shareholder shall cause the Company to provide to Purchaser copies of such completed Tax Returns at least twenty (20) days prior to the due date for filing thereof, along with supporting work papers, for Purchaser’s review and approval. The Shareholder and Purchaser shall attempt in good faith to resolve any disagreements regarding such Tax Returns prior to the due date for filing.

(ii) Following the Closing, Purchaser shall cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns required to be filed by the Company after the Closing Date and, subject to the rights to payment from the Shareholder under Section 9.5(c)(iii), pay or cause to be paid all Taxes shown due thereon.

(iii) Not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes on any Tax Returns which Purchaser has the responsibility to cause to be filed pursuant to Section 9.5(c)(ii), the Shareholder shall pay to Purchaser the amount of Taxes, as reasonably determined by Purchaser, owed by the Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.5(a). No payment pursuant to this Section 9.5(c)(iii) shall excuse the Shareholder from its indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9.5(a) if the amount of Taxes as ultimately determined (on audit or otherwise) for the periods covered by such Tax Returns exceeds the amount of the Shareholder’s payment under this Section 9.5(c)(iii). Not later than ten (10) days prior to the due date for the payment of Taxes by Shareholder with respect to which Purchaser has the responsibility to pay an additional amount pursuant to Section 9.5(a)(v), Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholder such additional amount.

(d) Straddle Period Tax Allocation. The Shareholder and Purchaser will, unless prohibited by applicable Law, close the taxable period of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date. If applicable law does not permit the Company to close its taxable year on the Closing Date or in any case in which a Tax is assessed with respect to a taxable period which includes the Closing Date (but does not begin or end on that day) (a “Straddle Period”), the Taxes, if any, attributable to a Straddle Period shall be allocated (i) to the Shareholder for the period up to and including the close of business on the Closing Date, and (ii) to Purchaser for the period subsequent to the Closing Date. Any allocation of income or deductions required to determine any Taxes attributable to a Straddle Period shall be made by means of a closing of the books and records of the Company as of the close of the Closing Date, provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including, but not limited to, depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on the Closing Date and the period after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

(i) If notice of any Legal Proceeding with respect to Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Claim”) shall be received by either party for which the other party may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to Section 9.5(a), the notified party shall notify such other party in writing of such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the notified party to give the other party notice as provided herein shall not relieve such failing party of its obligations under this Section 9.5 except to the extent that the other party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.

(ii) Purchaser shall have the right, at the expense of the Shareholder to the extent such Tax Claim is subject to indemnification by the Shareholder pursuant to Section 9.5(a) hereof, to represent the interests of the Company in any Tax Claim; provided, that with respect to a Tax Claim relating exclusively to taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall not settle such claim without the consent of the Shareholder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(f) Transfer Taxes. The Shareholder shall be liable for and shall pay (and shall indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser Indemnified Parties against) all sales, use, stamp, documentary, filing, recording, transfer or similar fees or taxes or governmental charges as levied by any Governmental Body including any interest and penalties) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that the Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay any such taxes incurred by the Company or the Shareholder as a result of the 338(h)(10) Election.

(g) Time Limits. Any claim for indemnity under this Section 9.5 may be made at any time prior to sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable Tax statute of limitations with respect to the relevant taxable period (including all periods of extension, whether automatic or permissive).

(h) Exclusivity. The indemnification provided for in this Section 9.5 shall be the sole remedy for any claim in respect of Taxes, including any claim arising out of or relating to a breach of Section 5.11. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 9.5, on the one hand, and the provisions of Sections 9.1 through 9.4, on the other, the provisions of this Section 9.5 shall control.

9.6 Offset Rights. Purchaser shall, in its reasonable discretion, be entitled to offset against any amount payable by it pursuant to Section 3.3 any payment that the Shareholder is obligated to make to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article IX or Section 3.3.

9.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Shareholder and Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Article IX as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal, state, local and foreign income tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under Article IX (including, without limitation, this Section 9.7) is determined to be taxable to the party receiving such payment by any Taxing Authority, the paying party shall also indemnify the party receiving such payment for any Taxes incurred by reason of the receipt of such payment and any Expenses incurred by the party receiving such payment in connection with such Taxes (or any asserted deficiency, claim, demand, action, suit, proceeding, judgment or assessment, including the defense or settlement thereof, relating to such Taxes).

10.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Shareholder and Purchaser shall each bear its own expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, it being understood that in no event shall the Company bear any of such costs and expenses.

10.2 Specific Performance. The Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to Purchaser and that Purchaser will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of the Shareholder under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Shareholder’s obligation to sell the Shares to Purchaser, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

(a) For purposes of enforcing the rights set forth in Section 10.2, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Houston, Texas if the defendant is Purchaser or the federal or state court located in Orange County, California if the defendant is the Shareholder, over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any suit, action proceeding related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts. The parties hereby irrevocably waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which they may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a judgment in any such dispute may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(b) Any controversy, dispute or claim arising under or in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the existence, validity, interpretation or breach hereof and any claim based on contract, tort of statute) shall be resolved by a binding arbitration, to be held in Houston, Texas if the defendant is Purchaser or in Orange County, California if the defendant is the Shareholder, pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and in accordance with then-prevailing International Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The AAA shall select three arbitrators. Each party shall bear its own expenses incurred in connection with arbitration and the fees and expenses of the arbitrators shall be shared equally by the parties involved in the dispute and advanced by them from time to time as required. It is the mutual intention and desire of the parties that the tribunal of three arbitrators be constituted as expeditiously as possible following the submission of the dispute to arbitration. Once such tribunal is constituted and except as may otherwise be agreed in writing by the parties involved in such dispute or as ordered by the arbitrators upon substantial justification shown, the hearing for the dispute will be held within sixty (60) days after submission of the dispute to arbitration. The arbitrators shall render their final award within sixty (60) days, subject to extension by the arbitrators upon substantial justification shown of extraordinary circumstances, following conclusion of the hearing and any required post-hearing briefing or other proceedings ordered by the arbitrators. Any discovery in connection with arbitration hereunder shall be limited to information directly relevant to the controversy or claim in arbitration. The arbitrators will state the factual and legal basis for the award. The decision of the arbitrators in any such proceeding will be final and binding and not subject to judicial review and final judgment may be entered upon such an award in any court of competent jurisdiction, but entry of such judgment will not be required to make such award effective.

(c) Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to process being served by any party to this Agreement in any suit, action or proceeding by delivery of a copy thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement (including the schedules and exhibits hereto) represents the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and can be amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken pursuant to this Agreement, including without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.

10.5 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to contracts made and performed in such state.

10.6 Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of transmission) or (iii) one business day following the day sent by overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a party may have specified by notice given to the other party pursuant to this provision):

10.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

10.8 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any person or entity not a party to this Agreement except as provided below. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by either the Shareholder or Purchaser (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto and any attempted assignment without the required consents shall be void; provided, however, that Purchaser may assign this Agreement and any or all rights or obligations hereunder (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s rights to purchase the Shares and Purchaser’s rights to seek indemnification hereunder) to any Affiliate of Purchaser, any Person from which it has borrowed money or any Person to which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates proposes to sell all or substantially all of the assets relating to the business; provided, however, that any such assignment by Purchaser shall not relieve Purchaser from any liability under this Agreement. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

10.9 Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of Purchaser shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of Purchaser under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.10 Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties. Signatures of the parties transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

10.11 Construction. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it has reviewed, and has had an opportunity to have reviewed by qualified advisors, including financial, tax and legal advisors, of its own choosing, this Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto), and it is the parties’ intent that this Agreement and the attachments not be construed against either party as the drafting party, and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

10.12 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any proceeding or arbitration arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the nonprevailing party all of its costs and expenses incurred in connection with such proceeding or arbitration, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not such proceeding or arbitration is prosecuted to judgment.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized, as of the date first written above.
