The Independent Accounting Firm shall address only those items in dispute and may not assign a value greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either the Purchaser or the Sellers or smaller than the smallest value for such item claimed by either such party. The Independent Accounting Firm’s determination shall be requested to be made within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the presentation of evidence by the Purchaser and the Sellers, and shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to such parties. Such determinations shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of this Agreement and shall not be subject to any further recourse by any party pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, absent fraud or manifest error. Judgment may be entered upon the determination of the Independent Accounting Firm in any court having jurisdiction over the party against which such determination is to be enforced.

(d) For purposes of this Agreement, the “ Final Statement ” shall be one of the following:

(i) the Closing Certificate if the Purchaser fails to deliver a Closing Date Statement within the period set forth in Section 1.06(a) ;

(iii) a closing date statement mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Sellers; or

The date on which the Final Statement is determined in accordance with this Section 1.06(d) is hereinafter referred to as the “ Determination Date .”

(e) On the Determination Date, the final Purchase Price shall be re-calculated using the adjusted CBC Transaction Expenses, and Net Present Value of the Incremental Assets set forth on the Final Statement, and the adjusted CBC Indebtedness set forth on the Final Statement (the “ Adjusted Incremental Asset Value ”) and the adjusted Working Capital set forth on the Final Statement (the “ Adjusted Working Capital ”), instead of the estimates thereof that were used in calculating the Adjusted Purchase Price. If the final Purchase Price as calculated pursuant to this Section 1.06(e) based on the Final Statement is less than the Adjusted Purchase Price, the Sellers shall pay to the Purchaser the amount of such difference by wire transfer in immediately available funds. If the final Purchase Price as calculated pursuant to this Section 1.06(e) is greater than the Adjusted Purchase Price, the Purchaser shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the Determination Date, make payment to the Sellers by wire transfer in immediately available funds of the amount of such difference in accordance with the Payment Instructions.

(i) any breach of any of the representations or warranties made by the Sellers or the Companies in this Agreement (other than (x) those set forth in ARTICLE II, which are subject to Section 8.02(b) , and (y) those set forth in Section 3.15 , which are subject to ARTICLE VII ) or in any certificate delivered by or on behalf of, the Sellers or the Companies pursuant hereto (disregarding for purposes of this Section 8.02(a)(i) , any “material,” “in all material respects,” “CBC Material Adverse Effect,” or similar qualification contained therein or with respect thereto solely for purposes of calculating Losses, but not for determining whether a breach has occurred).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this ARTICLE VIII , after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall severally, but not jointly (other than in the case of the Holding Company, in which case Sellers shall jointly and severally), indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered or incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party resulting from:

(i) states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it may or will incur Liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

(ii) specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, the Losses included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated Liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related.

-42-

(b) Objection . If the party receiving a Claim Certificate pursuant to Section 8.04(a) (the “ Claim Recipient ”) in connection with a claim for indemnification other than in connection with the Third Party Claim under Section 8.04(c) below objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any such claim specified in the Claim Certificate, then such party shall deliver a written notice specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection and the amount in dispute to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Claim Recipient and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties for a period of not less than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection. If the Indemnified Party and the Claim Recipient agree with respect to any of such claims, they shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Claim Recipient fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such thirty (30) day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification.

(c) Third Party Claims .

(i) If a third party initiates a claim, demand, dispute, lawsuit or arbitration (a “ Third Party Claim ”) against any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party might make a claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VIII , then the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Certificate with respect to such Third Party Claim and must deliver copies of any documents served on the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any failure to notify the Indemnifying Party or deliver copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

(ii) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 8.04(c)(i) , the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party by conducting a diligent defense in good faith against the Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, provided that it assumes all Liability with respect to, and demonstrates to the Indemnified Party’s reasonable satisfaction the financial ability and commitment to fund, such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, it shall have the right, with the consent of such Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle all indemnifiable matters related to claims by third parties which are susceptible to being settled; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify such Indemnified Party therefor will be fully satisfied only by payment of money by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to a settlement which includes a complete release of such Indemnified Party and no stipulation or admission or that could reasonably be expected to be detrimental to the reputation of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. The Indemnifying Party shall keep such Indemnified Party apprised of the status of the claim, Liability or expense and any resulting suit, proceeding or enforcement action, shall furnish such Indemnified Party with all documents and information that such Indemnified Party shall reasonably request and shall consult with such Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, such Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, if the named parties to the action or proceeding include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct as determined by counsel for the Indemnified Party, the reasonable expense of separate counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party provided that such Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay for only one counsel for the Indemnified Party in any jurisdiction.

-43-

(iii) If the Indemnifying Party declines to exercise its right to defend under Section 8.04(c)(ii) , or if a diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 8.04(c)(ii), the Indemnified Party will defend against the Third Party Claim (with counsel selected by such Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, Liability or expense (exercising reasonable business judgment) with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(iv) Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense and shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party, if the claim over which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (C) involves a claim to which the Indemnified Party reasonably believes an adverse determination would have an adverse effect on any Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects, (D) involves a claim that, upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend or (E) involves a claim that is reasonably expected to result in Liability to the Indemnified Party in excess of the result of (1) the Purchase Price minus (2) the sum of all Losses specified in any then unresolved indemnification claims made by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII.

(d) In the event any Purchaser Indemnified Party becomes entitled to indemnification under ARTICLE VII or this ARTICLE VIII , the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount directly from the Sellers.

8.05. Other .

(b) Fraud . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the limitations and thresholds and other provisions set forth in ARTICLE VII and this ARTICLE VIII shall not apply with respect to (i) fraud or willful misconduct or (ii) any equitable remedy, including a preliminary or permanent injunction or specific performance with respect to the covenants of the parties set forth in Article V.

8.06. No Prejudice . The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Purchaser, the Companies and the Sellers, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnified Parties based on such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, will not be limited or affected by any investigation conducted by an Indemnified Party with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by an Indemnified Party at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, and no Indemnified Party shall be required to show that it relied on any (and each indemnified party shall be deemed to have relied on each) such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in order to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII . The waiver by a party of any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VI will not affect or limit the provisions of ARTICLE VII or this ARTICLE VIII .

8.07. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments . The Sellers and the Purchaser agree to treat any indemnity payment made pursuant to ARTICLE VII or this ARTICLE VII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all income tax purposes. If, notwithstanding the treatment required by the preceding sentence, any indemnification payment under ARTICLE VII or this ARTICLE VIII (including this Section 8.07 ) 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 Losses 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).

8.08. Contribution . Each of the Sellers hereby waives and releases on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties any and all rights that any Indemnifying Party or any of its Affiliates may have under this Agreement or otherwise to assert claims of contribution against the Purchaser or the Companies. Notwithstanding anything to contrary contained herein or in any other agreement, effective as of the Closing, each of the Sellers also hereby waives and releases on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties any and all rights that any Indemnifying Party may have under this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement, any other agreement, any organizational document or otherwise for indemnification, contribution, or reimbursement from the Purchaser or the Companies with respect to any matter that gives rise to a Loss, provided that the releases by the Sellers under this Section 8.08 shall not include any obligations or Liabilities of the Purchaser or the Companies to the Sellers with respect to any of the indemnification obligations of the Purchaser under ARTICLES VII and VIII.

E. Covenant Against Solicitation of Employees and Others .

H. Reasonableness; Injunction . Each Member acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Member has had an opportunity to seek advice of counsel in connection with this Agreement; (b) the restrictive covenants set forth in this ARTICLE VII (collectively, the “Restrictive Covenants”) are reasonable in scope and in all other respects; (c) any violation of the Restrictive Covenants will result in irreparable injury to the Company; (d) money damages would be an inadequate remedy at law for the Company in the event of a breach of any of the Restrictive Covenants by the Member; and (e) specific performance in the form of injunctive relief would be an adequate remedy for the Company. If any Member breaches or threatens to breach a Restrictive Covenant, the Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any such breach, without any bond or other security being required and without the necessity of showing actual damages. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Restricted Period or the Non-Solicit Period, as applicable, shall, automatically without further action, deed or notice, be extended by a number of days equal to the number of days in which a Member is in breach of his, her, or its obligations under this 6.07.

If at any time after the date of this Agreement CBC Acquisition proposes to Transfer, directly or indirectly, any of its Membership Interests in the Company to a prospective purchaser in one or more series of related transactions other than to an Affiliate of Asta, and CBC Acquisition cannot or has not elected to exercise its drag-along rights pursuant to Section 8.09, each of Skyrm and Goodman (each, a “ Tag-along Member ”), so long as he continues to own the Requisite Percentage, shall be permitted to participate in such sale (a “ Tag-along Sale ”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.10.

2. Prior to the consummation of the sale described in Section 8.10(a), CBC Acquisition shall deliver to the Company and each Tag-along Member a notice (a “ Sale Notice ”) of the proposed sale subject to this Section 8.10(b) no more than ten (10) business days after the execution and delivery by all the parties thereto of the definitive agreement entered into with respect to the Tag-along Sale and, in any event, no later than twenty (20) business days prior to the closing date of the Tag-along Sale. The Tag-along Notice shall make reference to the Tag-along Members’ rights hereunder and shall describe in reasonable detail: (i) the number of Units to be sold by CBC Acquisition; (ii) the name of the prospective purchaser; (iii) the per Unit purchase price and the other material terms and conditions of the sale, including a description of any non-cash consideration in sufficient detail to permit the valuation thereof; (iv) the proposed date, time and location of the closing of the sale; and (v) a copy of any form of agreement proposed to be executed in connection therewith.

3. Each Tag-along Member shall exercise its right to participate in a sale of Units by CBC Acquisition subject to this Section 8.10 by delivering to CBC Acquisition a notice (a “ Tag-along Notice ”) stating its election to do so and specifying the number of Units to be sold by it no later than five (5) business days after receipt of the Sale Notice (the “ Tag-along Period ”). The offer of each Tag-along Member set forth in a Tag-along Notice shall be irrevocable, and, to the extent such offer is accepted, such Tag-along Member shall be bound and obligated to sell in the proposed sale on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.10. Each Tag-along Member shall have the right to sell in a sale subject to this Section 8.10 the number of Units equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of Units held by the Tag-along Member by (y) a fraction (A) the numerator of which is equal to the number of Units CBC Acquisition proposes to sell or transfer to the prospective purchaser and (B) denominator of which is equal to the number of Units then owned by CBC Acquisition and all of its permitted Transferees.

4. CBC Acquisition shall use its reasonable efforts to include in the proposed sale to the prospective purchaser all of the Units that the Tag-along Members have requested to have included pursuant to the applicable Tag-along Notices, it being understood that the prospective purchaser shall not be required to purchase Units in excess of the number set forth in the Sale Notice. In the event the prospective purchaser elects to purchase less than all of the Units sought to be sold by the Tag-along Members, the number of Units to be sold to the prospective purchaser by the Selling Member and each Tag-along Member shall be reduced so that each such Member is entitled to sell a pro-rata portion of the number of Units the prospective purchaser elects to purchase (which in no event may be less than the number of Units set forth in the Sale Notice), based on the percentage of Units each such Member wishes to sell of the total number of Units to be sold.

26

5. Any Tag-along Member who does not deliver a Tag-along Notice in compliance with Section 8.10(c) above shall be deemed to have waived all of such Tag-along Member’s rights to participate in such sale, and CBC Acquisition shall (subject to the rights of any participating Tag-along Member) thereafter be free to sell to the prospective purchaser its Units at a per Unit price that is no greater than the per Unit price set forth in the Sale Notice and on other same terms and conditions which are not materially more favorable to CBC Acquisition than those set forth in the Sale Notice, without any further obligation to the non-accepting Tag-along Members.

6. Each Member participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 8.10 shall receive the same consideration per Unit after deduction of such Member’s proportionate share of the related expenses in accordance with paragraph (h) below.

7. Each Tag-along Member shall make or provide the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements as CBC Acquisition makes or provides in connection with the Tag-along Sale (except that in the case of representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to CBC Acquisition, the Tag-along Member shall make the comparable representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements pertaining specifically to itself); provided , that all representations, warranties, covenants and indemnities shall be made by CBC Acquisition and each other Tag-along Member severally and not jointly and any indemnification obligation in respect of breaches of representations and warranties that do not relate to such Tag-along Member shall be in an amount not to exceed the aggregate proceeds received by such Tag-along Member in connection with any sale consummated pursuant to this Section 8.10.

8. The fees and expenses of CBC Acquisition incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 8.10 and for the benefit of all Members (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of CBC Acquisition for its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Members), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the prospective purchaser, shall be shared by all the Members on a pro rata basis, based on the consideration received by each Member; provided , that no Member shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the transaction consummated pursuant to this Section 8.10.

9. Each Member shall take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the Tag-along Sale, including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments, in each case, consistent with the agreements being entered into and the certificates being delivered by CBC Acquisition.

K. Right of First Refusal.

For two (2) years from the Effective Date, notwithstanding the provisions of this ARTICLE VIII other than Section 8.01, a Member may Transfer all or any portion of such Member’s Membership Interest in the Company to any Person pursuant to a bona fide offer from a third party to purchase such Membership Interest as provided herein. Upon receipt of an acceptable offer, the Member (the “ Transferring Member ”) shall give the Company, the Managers, and the other Members notice of the terms and conditions of the offer and of such Member’s intention to Transfer such Membership Interest in accordance with the offer. The Members shall then have the right to acquire all, but not less than all, of the Membership Interest upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the offer. The Members shall have the right to acquire the Membership Interest upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the offer by giving notice to the Transferring Member within sixty (60) days of delivery of notice of the third-party offer from the Transferring Member. If more than one other Member shall accept the offer, then such Members shall purchase the Transferring Member’s Membership Interest pro rata based on the percentage of Units each applicable Member owns of the total number of Units to be purchased. If no other Member shall accept the offer within the sixty (60)-day period, or if the Members together have not subscribed for the entire interest, then the Transferring Member shall be free to Transfer such Membership Interest in accordance with the terms of the offer. If the Transferring Member shall fail to complete the Transfer in accordance with the offer within one hundred eighty days (180) days following the expiration of the sixty (60)-day period described herein, then any future Transfer by such Transferring Member shall require a re-offering to the other Members as provided for above.

Skyrm and Goodman shall each be a party to the Option Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C .

M. Prohibited Transfers.

Any purported Transfer that is not permitted under Sections 8.01, 8.02 or 8.09, shall be null and void and of no effect whatsoever. In the case of a Transfer or attempted Transfer that is not such a permitted Transfer, the parties engaging or attempting to engage in such Transfer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from all cost, liability, and damage that any of such indemnified persons may incur (including incremental tax liability and attorneys’ fees and expenses) as a result of such Transfer or attempted Transfer and efforts to enforce the indemnity granted hereby.

Any amount withheld as a reserve shall reduce the amount payable under this Section 9.02 and shall be invested at interest by the Company in a segregated account (which may be commingled with similar accounts). The unused portion of any reserve shall be distributed with interest thereon after the Board shall have determined that the need therefor shall have ceased.

C. Withdrawing Member’s Rights.
