Section 6.7 Non-Competition; Confidentiality.

(a)Non-Competition. As consideration for Buyer to enter into this Agreement, and to accord to Buyer the full value of its purchase of the Assets and the Business, each Seller Party agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, or two (2) years after the termination of Guidroz's employment with Buyer or any Affiliates, whichever is longer, such Seller Party will not, and will not allow any of its or his Affiliates, without the prior written consent of Buyer, Directly or Indirectly, through a managed service company or otherwise, or by action in concert with others, own, manage, operate, join, control, finance or participate in, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, control or financing of, or be connected as a principal, agent, representative, consultant, employee, investor, owner, partner, manager, joint venturer or otherwise with, or permit their respective names to be used by or in connection with a business or entity in the Business or in a business that is competitive with the Business or any portion thereof or any other related or ancillary businesses that Seller or its Affiliates participate in or are actively contemplating participating in as of the date of the termination; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not prevent the beneficial ownership for investment purposes of, five percent (5%) or less of any class of equity securities of any such Person which are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act.

(b)Non-Solicitation of Employees. Each Seller Party agrees that for the period commencing on the Closing Date and expiring on the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, or two (2) years after the termination of Guidroz's employment with Buyer or any Affiliates, whichever is longer, such Seller Party will not, nor will any of its or his Affiliates or Relatives, without the written consent of Buyer, Directly or Indirectly, for each of their own account or on behalf of any other Person, induce or attempt to induce any officer or key employee to leave his or her employment with Buyer or any of its Affiliates or hire any such officer or key employee.

Neither any Seller Party nor any of its or his Affiliates or Relatives shall at any time use or disclose to or for the benefit of any Person other than Buyer and its Affiliates, any trade secret or confidential information, knowledge or data relating to the Business (including, without limitation, information relating to accounts, financial dealings, transactions, intangibles, processes, services, service offerings, products and proposals), whether or not marked or otherwise identified as confidential or secret, unless (i) such information is already known to such third party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such party, (ii) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any filing or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.

(e)Acknowledgments. The Parties acknowledge that, in view of the nature of the Business and the business objectives of Buyer and Seller Parties in entering into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, the restrictions contained in this Section 6.7 are reasonably necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Parties and that any violation of such restrictions may result in irreparable injury to the non-violating Parties for which damages will not be an adequate remedy. The Parties therefore acknowledge that, if any such restrictions are violated, the non-violating Parties and any of their Affiliates shall be entitled to seek preliminary and injunctive relief against the violating Party as well as to an equitable accounting of earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation. In addition, in the event of a breach of this Section 6.7, Seller’s rights to payment of the Bonus shall terminate. Each Seller Party shall be liable for any breach by its, his or her respective Affiliates of this Section 6.7.

Section 6.8 Accounts Receivable. All payments and reimbursements made by any third party in the name of or to Seller that arise out of the conduct of the Business following the Closing or in respect of accounts receivable included in the Assets shall be held by Seller in trust for the benefit of Buyer and, promptly, and in any event within three (3) business days, after receipt by Seller of any such payment or reimbursement, Seller shall pay over to Buyer the amount of such payment or reimbursement without right of set off, together with all corresponding notes, documentation and information received in connection therewith.

Section 6.9 Agreements Regarding Tax Matters. For all purposes under this Agreement involving the determination of Taxes (including the determination of Seller’s Taxes), in the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to any taxable period that includes but does not end on the Closing Date, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of the taxable period ending at the end of the Closing Date shall be (i) in the case of Taxes that are (x) based upon or related to income or receipts, (y) imposed in connection with the sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), or (z) employment, social security or other similar Taxes, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended on the close of the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to any assets or otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the taxable period ending on the close of the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire taxable period.





Section 6.10 Payment of Excluded Liabilities. Each Seller Party jointly and severally agrees to pay in full and discharge all of the Excluded Liabilities in accordance with their stated terms, as applicable, and in a manner that is not detrimental to any relationships of Buyer or the Business with lessors, employees, clients, customers, suppliers or others.

Section 6.11 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties agrees that subsequent to the Closing Date, upon the reasonable request of any other Party from time to time, it, he or she shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such further instruments and take such other actions as may be necessary or desirable to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents or to vest, perfect or confirm ownership of the Assets in Buyer.

Section 6.12 Nonassignable Contracts. To the extent that the assignment hereunder by Seller to Buyer of any Assumed Contract is not permitted or is not permitted without the consent of any other party to the Assumed Contract, which consent has not been received, this Agreement shall not be deemed to constitute an assignment of any such Assumed Contract if such consent is not given or if such assignment otherwise would constitute a breach of, or cause a loss of contractual benefits under, any such Assumed Contract, and Buyer shall not assume any Liabilities thereunder. With respect to any such Assumed Contract, Sellers shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and shall cooperate with Buyer in any arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the rights and benefits (subject to the obligations) under any such Assumed Contracts. Upon the receipt of any such consent, Seller shall assign such Assumed Contract to Buyer.

Section 6.13 Employment of Certain Employees of Seller. Immediately before the Closing, Seller shall encourage its employees listed on Exhibit E hereto (the "Transferred Employees") to accept employment with Buyer for corresponding salaries listed thereon, and subject to such acceptance, Buyer shall hire the Transferred Employees and pay the applicable salaries. Subject to the terms and conditions of Buyer's benefit plans, Buyer shall cause the Transferred Employees to be eligible to participate in its available employee benefit plans under the same eligibility requirements and waiting periods as similarly situated employees of Buyer. For purposes of eligibility and vesting under such plans, the Transferred Employees who accept employment with Buyer on or about the Closing Date shall be given credit for their years of service for their most recent hire date with Seller, all benefit plan waiting periods shall be waived for such employees, and Buyer’s group medical plan shall give credit to such employees for amounts paid toward deductibles and co-payments, if any, under Seller’s medical plan for the current plan. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the right of Buyer to change or modify the terms and conditions of employment for any Transferred Employee or construed as altering the at-will nature of any Transferred Employee's employment. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit the right of Buyer to (A) change or modify the terms and conditions of employment for any Transferred Employee or (B) change, modify, or terminate any employee benefit plan or arrangement in accordance with its terms.

Section 6.14 Repurchase of Assets. If, within one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, a Regulatory Disapproval occurs (a "Repurchase Event"), Buyer shall sell, and Seller shall be obligated to repurchase, all of the Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities for a cash purchase price equal to the Base Purchase Price, plus the amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment, if any, by Seller paying to Buyer such amount in equal monthly installments at an interest rate equal to the Applicable Federal Rate for mid-term notes over a period of four (4) years pursuant to the form of promissory note attached hereto as Exhibit D (provided, however, that the total monthly payments for a given calendar




year will be capped at 75% of the free operating cash flow of Seller for such calendar year and in the event that any principal amount is not paid because of the cap provided in the previous clause, all such unpaid amounts will be due at the maturity date of the note) and all other obligations and restrictive covenants of Seller Parties will be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event within one hundred eighty (180) days following Closing, Buyer's obligation to make any further Installment Payments shall immediately terminate without any further action of the parties hereto. If a Regulatory Disapproval occurs after the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days following the Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller with a right of first offer to purchase the Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities on terms mutually agreeable between the parties hereto, including any financing by Buyer, prior to selling the Assets to a third party.

Section 6.15 Buyer's Divestiture of Other Louisiana Business.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Seller Parties.

(a)Seller Parties, jointly and severally ("Seller Indemnitors"), shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates, and their respective directors, managers, officers, employees, members, partners, agents, successors and assigns (other than Guidroz, Owner and Seller) (collectively, "Buyer Claimants" and individually, a "Buyer Claimant") harmless from and defend each of them from and against any and all demands, claims, actions, Liabilities, losses, costs, damages or expenses whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) (collectively, "Claims") asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by Buyer Claimants resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller Parties contained herein; (ii) any breach of covenant or obligation of any of Seller Parties contained herein; (iii) any Excluded Liabilities, including any third party claim related to any operations or liabilities of Seller, any Indebtedness of Seller, any Seller Transaction Expenses and Seller Taxes; and (iv) specifically with respect to any demands, claims, actions, liabilities, losses,

(c)Seller Indemnitor's liability to indemnify Buyer Claimants, for claims under Section 7.2(a) (other than with respect to Excluded Liabilities or breaches of Section 6.7) that are for fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful malfeasance, shall be limited to the Purchase Price (the "Fraud Cap"). Buyer Claimants' right to indemnification shall not be limited or affected in any way by any pre-Closing investigation by Buyer.

(d)Seller Indemnitor's liability to indemnify Buyer Claimants, for breaches of Section 7.2(a)(i) (other than in respect of breaches of Fundamental Representations) shall be limited to $1,250,000 (the "RW Cap") in the aggregate.

Section 7.3 Indemnification by Buyer Parties. From and after the Closing, Buyer Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Guidroz, Owner and Seller, and their directors, managers, officers, employees, members, partners, agents, successors and assigns (collectively, "Seller Claimants" and individually "Seller Claimant") harmless from and defend each of them from and against any and all Claims asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by Seller Claimants resulting from or arising out of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer Parties contained herein; (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer Parties contained herein; and (iii) any third party claim related to any operations or liabilities, following the Closing including, without limitation, for any post-closing Indebtedness of the Company. Buyer Parties shall not be required to indemnify a Seller Claimant under clause Section 7.3(a)(i) and 7.3(a)(iii) (other than in respect of Fundamental Representations) unless the aggregate cumulative sum of all amounts for which indemnity would otherwise be due under Section 7.3(a)(i) and 7.3(a)(iii) exceeds the Deductible, in which case, Buyer Parties shall be liable for all such amounts in excess of the Deductible.

Section 7.4 Terms and Conditions of Indemnification. The respective obligations and liabilities of Seller Indemnitors and Buyer to indemnify pursuant to this Article VII shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a)The Party seeking indemnification ("Claimant" or "Indemnified Party") shall notify the other Party or Parties ("Indemnifying Party") of the claim in writing (such written notice, an "Indemnification Notice") promptly after receiving notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation, demand or other claim against the Indemnified Party. Each such Indemnification Notice shall describe, in reasonable detail to the extent practicable, the Claim, including the facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder, the amount or method of computation of the amount of such claim (if known) and such other information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request; provided, that, the failure to so notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such




failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Claim. During such thirty (30) day period, the Claimant shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Claim and the Claimant shall assist the Indemnifying Party's investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Business' premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Claimant shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Claimant on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(b) In all cases, the Claimant shall provide its reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in defense of claims or litigation relating to Claims, including by making employees, information and documentation reasonably available.

Section 7.5 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.6 Insurance. Any indemnification payment under this Article VII shall be net of any insurance and tax benefit actually received by the Claimant with respect to the Claim (net of any out of pocket costs and expenses incurred to recover any such insurance).

Section 7.7 Right of Offset. If (a) at the time Buyer is required to pay a Purchase Price Adjustment or (b) Guidroz (or any of his Affiliates) owns any ownership interest of Buyer (including LSM) and Buyer has asserted a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VII and the Holdback Amount has been exhausted, Buyer shall be entitled to deposit into escrow the payment of any Purchase Price Adjustment, Installment Payment or Bonus in an amount equal to, the Buyer's good faith estimate of the aggregate unpaid amount of such Claim, such escrow amount to be applied against the full amount of Buyer's Claim once finally adjudicated. The right to deposit into escrow is cumulative to any other rights or remedies Buyer may have. Once the claim for indemnification for which the withheld payment relates has been resolved by the parties, Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller any Purchase Price Adjustment, Installment Payment or Bonus withheld in excess of such resolved claim, and pay to itself the excess held in escrow. Under no circumstances may Buyer offset against payment of any Installment Payment. Buyer further stipulates that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth is this Agreement or elsewhere, if the Closing occurs, each Installment Payment becomes due and payable in full on its due date in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to no defenses, offsets are otherwise. Buyer agrees not to assert any defense to the payment of an Installment Payment or make any claim that would prevent or delay the payment of any Installment Payment once the Closing occurs.

Section 7.8 Materiality Qualifiers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining the amount of losses arising from such a breach for which the Buyer Indemnitees or the Seller Indemnitees are entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, each such representation and warranty shall be read without giving effect to any qualification that is based on materiality, including the words "material," "Material Adverse Effect," "in any material respect" and other uses of the word "material" or words of similar meaning (and shall be treated as if such words were deleted from such representation or warranty).





Section 7.9 Order of Payments; Holdback Amount. Any losses payable to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VII shall be satisfied: (i) from the Holdback Amount; and (ii) to the extent the amount of losses exceeds the Holdback Amount, from the Seller Parties. Within three (3) Business Days after the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Holdback Payment Date"), Buyer shall release to Seller an amount equal to the Holdback Amount minus the Indemnification Holdback Amount. The term "Indemnification Holdback Amount" shall mean, as of the Holdback Payment Date, the aggregate amount of all losses relating to claims for indemnification in accordance with Section 7.2 of this Agreement that have not been resolved or satisfied as mutually agreed between the Parties. Promptly (within 3 days) upon the resolution of any claim relating to any of the Indemnification Holdback Amount, the portion of the Indemnification Holdback Amount for such indemnification claim not otherwise distributable to Buyer as agreed between the Parties shall be released to Seller. Any portion of the Holdback Amount released by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.9 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account that has been designated by Seller.

Section 7.10 Exclusive Remedies. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other Parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective representatives, arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article VII. Nothing in this Section 7.10 or otherwise in this Agreement shall limit any Person's (x) right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which such Person shall be entitled or (y) remedies in the case of fraud committed by the other party hereto.

Section 7.11 Application as it Relates to MIPA. Upon the Closing, the provisions of this Article VII shall amend, replace and supersede the provisions of Article VIII of the MIPA. The provisions of this Article VII shall apply mutatis mutandis to the MIPA as if they had been fully set forth therein.
