RECITALS:

WHEREAS, Seller is the record and beneficial owner of 362.5 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of common stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Company, representing approximately 73.15% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company;

WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, all of the Purchased Shares; and

WHEREAS, the Company, Seller and Buyer desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the sale and acquisition of the Purchased Shares and to set forth various conditions precedent thereto.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

AGREEMENT OF PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1 Purchase and Sale of Purchased Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), Seller will sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase and acquire from Seller, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Purchased Shares free and clear of any liens, restrictions, security interests, claims, rights of another or other encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”), for an aggregate purchase price set forth in and payable in accordance with the terms of Section 1.3 hereof, as adjusted in accordance with the terms of Section 1.4 hereof.

1.2 Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Buyer, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx 0, Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000, at 9:00 a.m., local time, on May 13, 2010, or at such other time and place and on such other earlier date as Buyer and Seller may agree upon in writing. The date on which the Closing occurs is hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date”.

1.3 Purchase Price and Form of Payment.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Purchased Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be, subject to reduction or increase as provided in Section 1.4 hereof, (i) $1,000,000 in cash (the “Cash Consideration”), payable in accordance with Section 1.3(b) below, plus (ii) $1,173,473 represented by a Promissory Note (herein so called) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, plus (iii) 4,124,622 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Buyer (the “Buyer Common Stock”). The shares of Buyer Common Stock described in subsection (iii) above are hereinafter referred to as the “SSGI Shares”.

(b) The Cash Consideration shall be payable as follows: (i) $300,000 at Closing; (ii) $250,000 within 30 days of the Closing Date; (iii) $250,000 within 60 days of the Closing Date; and (iv) $200,000 within 90 days of the Closing Date.

(c) At the Closing, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Buyer the stock certificate or certificates evidencing the Purchased Shares, and Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered (i) to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, $300,000 of the Cash Consideration, (ii) to Seller the Promissory Note, and (iii) to Seller a certificate evidencing the SSGI Shares registered in the name of Seller.

1.4 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule listing the Company’s work in process as of the Closing (the “Closing WIP Schedule”). Seller shall certify the truth and accuracy of the Closing WIP Schedule. The Closing WIP Schedule shall be attached to this Agreement as Schedule 1.4. In the event and to the extent that the Company’s work in process as reflected in the Closing WIP Schedule does not generate at least $1,040,523 in Gross Profit (as defined below) within eight (8) months of the Closing Date, then the principal amount of and accrued interest under the Promissory Note shall be reduced by the amount of such deficiency, together with interest thereon at a rate of four percent (4%) per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 365, from the Closing Date to the date of determination. In the event and to the extent that the Company’s work in process as reflected in the Closing WIP Schedule generates more than $1,300,653 in Gross Profit within eight (8) months of the Closing Date, then the principal amount of and accrued interest under the Promissory Note shall be increased by the amount of such excess, together with interest thereon at a rate of four percent (4%) per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 365, from the Closing Date to the date of determination. For purposes of this Section 1.4, “Gross Profit” shall mean net sales (i.e., gross sales less returns, discounts and allowances) minus cost of goods sold. In any event, Gross Profit shall be calculated in the same manner as the Company’s gross profit has historically been calculated, using the same accounting principles and procedures as the Company has historically used in calculating gross profit.

This Agreement is made with Seller in reliance upon Seller’s representation to Buyer, which by Seller’s execution of this Agreement Seller hereby confirms, that the SSGI Shares to be received by Seller hereunder will be acquired for investment for Seller’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that Seller has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in or otherwise distributing the same. Seller further represents that Seller does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any Person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such Person or to any third Person with respect to the SSGI Shares.

(b) Sophistication; Accredited Investor Status. Seller is a Person who either alone or with his purchaser representative(s) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in Buyer. Seller is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.

(c) Speculative Investment. Seller understands the speculative nature and risk of an investment in Buyer and confirms that he is able to bear the risk of the investment, and that there may not be any viable public market for the SSGI Shares received hereunder.

(d) No Coercion or Solicitation. Seller has freely entered into this Agreement and has been subject to neither pressure to make a xxxxx or uninformed decision to enter into this Agreement nor solicitation to receive the SSGI Shares.

(e) Transfer Restrictions. Except pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement (as hereinafter defined), Buyer is not under an obligation to register or seek an exemption under any federal and/or state securities acts for any sale or transfer of the SSGI Shares by Seller, and Seller hereby acknowledges that the SSGI Shares constitute restricted securities as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act and that the SSGI Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned or hypothecated unless there is an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the SSGI Shares, the sale is made in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or Buyer receives an opinion of counsel of Seller reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, stating that such sale, transfer, assignment or hypothecation is exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer is a “former shell company”. As such, sales of the SSGI Shares cannot be made under Rule 144 unless certain conditions are met, including, without limitation, the following: (i) Buyer has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as applicable, during the 12 months preceding the sale (other than Form 8-K reports); and (ii) one year has elapsed since Buyer has filed current “Form 10 information” with the Securities and Exchange Commission reflecting its status as an entity that is no longer a shell company. Buyer filed such Form 10 information with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 9, 2009. In addition, Buyer did not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission its Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2009. Therefore, sales of the SSGI Shares under Rule 144 cannot be made until at least 12 months following the date that Buyer files such Form 10-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(f) Disclosure of Information. Seller has received all the information it considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to receive the SSGI Shares hereunder.

(a) Indemnification for Benefit of Buyer. Seller shall indemnify Buyer and its affiliates, stockholders, partners, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Buyer Parties as and when incurred for any loss, liability, demand, claim, action, cause of action, cost, damage, deficiency, Tax, penalty, fine or expense, whether or not arising out of third party claims (including interest, penalties, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and all amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing and enforcement of its rights hereunder) (collectively, “Losses”) which any such Buyer Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of: (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Seller or the Company under this Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto, or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents furnished to Buyer by Seller or the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller or the Company under this Agreement or any of the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto; provided, however, that Seller’s aggregate liability under clause (i) above (other than with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.1 (Capitalization; Other Rights to Acquire Capital Stock), Section 3.4 (Authorization and Effect of Agreement), Section 3.18 (Taxes) and Article 4 (Additional Representations and Warranties of Seller) shall in no event exceed the Purchase Price (with it being understood, however, that nothing in this Agreement (including this Section 8.2(a)) shall limit or restrict any of the Buyer Parties’ right to maintain or recover any amounts in connection with any action or claim based upon fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit).

(b) Indemnification for Benefit of Seller. Buyer shall indemnify Seller and his affiliates, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) and save and hold each of them harmless against and pay on behalf of or reimburse such Seller Parties as and when incurred for any Losses which any Seller Party may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as the result of, in connection with, relating or incidental to or by virtue of (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer under this Agreement or any of the Schedules or Exhibits attached hereto, or in any of the certificates or other instruments or documents furnished to Seller by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant, agreement or other provision by Buyer under this Agreement or any of the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto; or (iii) any action, demand, proceeding, investigation or claim by any third party (including any Governmental Entity) against or affecting Seller which, if successful, would give rise to or evidence the existence of or relate to a breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants of Buyer.

(c) Manner of Payment. Except as otherwise provided herein, any indemnification of the Buyer Parties or Seller Parties pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, to an account designated by Buyer or Seller, as the case may be, within ten days after the determination thereof. Any such indemnification payments shall include interest at a rate of four percent (4%) per annum, calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over 365, from the date any such Loss is suffered or sustained to the date of payment. However, any amounts due or payable to any of the Buyer Parties by Seller pursuant to Section 1.4 or this Section 8.2 shall (i) first be set-off against the principal amount of (and accrued interest under) the Promissory Note (this shall affect the amount of payment required under the Promissory Note in the same manner as if Buyer had made a permitted prepayment (without penalty or premium) thereunder), and (ii) then be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds as provided above. All indemnification payments under this Section 8.2 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price set forth in Section 1.3 above.

(d) Defense of Third Party Claims. Any party making a claim for indemnification under this Section 8.2 (an “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it (if by a third party), describing the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof; provided that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the damages for which the Indemnitor is obligated to be greater than such damages would have been had the Indemnitee given the Indemnitor prompt notice hereunder. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below) shall be entitled at any time to assume the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense; provided further that, prior to the Indemnitor assuming control of such defense it shall first (i) verify to the Indemnitee in writing that such Indemnitor shall be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights) for all liabilities and obligations relating to such claim for indemnification and that it will provide full indemnification (whether or not otherwise required hereunder) to the Indemnitee with respect to such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder and (ii) enter into an agreement with the Indemnitee in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee which agreement unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance of any liability or obligation which may arise with respect to such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification hereunder and furnish the Indemnitee with evidence which (in the sole judgment of the Indemnitee) is and will be sufficient to satisfy any such liability or obligation; and provided further, that:

(i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnitee (other than any fees and expenses of such separate counsel that are incurred prior to the date the Indemnitor effectively assumes control of such defense which, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall be borne by the Indemnitor);

(ii) the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and (except under the circumstances described in clauses (B) and (F) below) shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnitee (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee and with it being agreed that Block & Garden, LLP shall be reasonably acceptable) if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (B) the Indemnitee reasonably believes an adverse determination with respect to the action, lawsuit, investigation, proceeding or other claim giving rise to such claim for indemnification would be detrimental to or injure the Indemnitee’s reputation or future business prospects; (C) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnitee; (D) the claim involves environmental matters in which case Buyer shall have sole control and management authority over the resolution of such claim, including hiring legal counsel and environmental consultants, conducting environmental investigations and cleanups, negotiating with governmental agencies and third parties and defending or settling claims and actions; provided that Buyer shall keep Seller apprised of any major developments relating to any such environmental claim; (E) upon petition by the Indemnitee, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnitor failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim; or (F) the Indemnitee reasonably believes that the Losses in respect of the claim could exceed the maximum amount of the Indemnitor’s remaining indemnity obligation under this Section 8.2; and

(iii) if the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement or cessation, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee or if such settlement does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim, without prejudice.

(e) Loss Calculations. In calculating the amount of any Loss for which any Indemnitor is liable under this Article 8, there shall be taken into consideration (i) when and as received or incurred, the value of any actual federal or state income tax benefits and the cost of any actual federal or state income tax detriments as a result of the receipt of any indemnity payment, and (ii) the amount of any insurance recoveries the Indemnitor in fact receives as a direct consequence of the circumstances to which the Loss related or from which the Loss resulted or arose, except to the extent such insurance recoveries have or are reasonably anticipated to result in future or retroactive premium increases.

(f) Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except for the right to seek injunctive relief or specific performance in respect of or for any of the agreements contained herein, the remedies of the parties specifically provided for by this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties for (i) any breach or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document furnished or delivered pursuant hereto, (ii) the failure to perform any covenants, agreements or obligations contained in this Agreement or in any document furnished or delivered pursuant hereto, or (iii) any Loss relating to, resulting from or arising out of any transaction or matter relating in any manner whatsoever to this Agreement or to any document furnished or delivered pursuant hereto.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties further agree that, from the date hereof and until the Closing Date, neither they nor any of their respective representatives shall disclose to any third party or publicly announce the proposed acquisition of the Purchased Shares or the existence or terms of this Agreement without the prior joint consent of Buyer and Seller, which such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

9.6 Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any of the documents delivered in connection with this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

9.8 Specific Performance. The parties recognize that if Seller refuse to perform under the provisions of this Agreement, monetary damages alone will not be adequate to compensate Buyer for its injury. Buyer shall therefore be entitled, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Agreement. If any action is brought by Buyer to enforce this Agreement, Seller shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. In the event of a default by Seller that results in the filing of a lawsuit for damages, specific performances, or other remedies, Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement by Seller of reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred by Buyer.

9.9 Waiver of Certain Rights. Seller hereby waives any rights of first refusal, preemptive rights or other rights of any nature whatsoever which the Company or Seller may have to purchase any of the Purchased Shares or other capital stock or equity securities of any nature of the Company.

9.10 Further Assurances. At and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of Buyer but without further consideration, Seller shall execute and deliver such other instruments of conveyance, assignment, transfer and delivery and take such other action as Buyer may reasonably request in order more effectively to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

9.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Other than the Indemnitees not a party hereto and any lender of Buyer, no Person not a party to this Agreement shall be deemed to be a third-party beneficiary hereunder or entitled to any rights hereunder.

9.12 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SAID STATE APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WITHIN SAID STATE. Each of the Company, Buyer and Seller (a) hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida and the courts of the State of Florida located in Palm Beach County, Florida, for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, and (b) hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that he or it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.

(c) The term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any event, circumstance, condition, fact, effect, or other matter which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect (i) on the business, assets, financial condition, prospects, financial projections, or results of operations of the Company or any Subsidiary, or (ii) on the ability of the Company or Seller to perform on a timely basis any material obligation under this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
