sheet as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with GAAP,

(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, “Negative Working Capital” means the amount by
which, if any, Assumed Liabilities exceeds the sum of accounts receivable,
inventory, cash and pre-paid assets of the Company on the Adjusted Closing
Balance Sheet (as defined below). Upon final determination of the Adjusted
Closing Balance Sheet and Negative Working Capital as set forth in subsections
(c) and (d) below, Parent agrees to issue Purchaser shares of Parent’s common
stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common
Stock”)
having
an aggregate market value equal to the Negative Working Capital not to exceed
$700,000 (the “Shares”),
such
number of shares to be determined by dividing the Negative Working Capital
(not
to exceed $700,000) by the closing price of the Common Stock on the Over the
Counter Bulletin Board on the Closing Date (“Closing
Price”).
Parent and Purchaser hereby agree that the Closing Price shall not exceed
$0.40.
(c) The
Parent and the Company shall promptly prepare the post Closing Balance Sheet
within forty-five (45) days of the date of Closing and shall deliver copies
thereof to the Purchaser (the “Adjusted

The
Parent and Company shall prepare a computation of the Negative Working Capital
based on the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and shall submit such computation
to
Purchaser in writing at the same time that copies of the Adjusted Closing
Balance Sheet are delivered.
(d) The
Purchaser shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Adjusted Closing
Balance Sheet and the Negative Working Capital of the Company (the “Review
Period”)
to
review and verify the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and the Negative Working
Capital of the Company. If no party objects in writing to the Adjusted Closing
Balance Sheet and the Negative Working Capital of the Company within the Review
Period, then the Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and the Negative Working Capital
of the Company shall be final and binding on all parties, and the Shares shall
be payable in accordance with subsection (b). If any party does so object
within the Review Period then the parties shall meet as soon as practicable
to
attempt to resolve any such objection. If the parties agree in writing on a
final Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and the Negative Working Capital of the
Company within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Review Period, then
the
provisions of subsection (b) shall apply. If the parties cannot agree upon
a
final Adjusted Closing Balance Sheet and the Negative Working of the Company
within ten (10) days after the Review Period, then the provisions of
Section 10.12 shall become applicable.
(e) The
Purchase Price will be allocated among the Assets in the manner required by
Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)
as
shall be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company. The Company and
the
Purchaser will file all Tax Returns (as defined herein) and tax reports
(including IRS Form 8594) in accordance with and based upon such allocation
and
will take no position in any Tax Return, tax proceeding or tax audit which
is
inconsistent with such allocation.

Unless
this Agreement shall have been terminated and the transactions contemplated
herein shall have been abandoned pursuant to Article 7 hereof, a closing
(the “Closing”)
will
occur

in
writing (the

provided, however, that in no event shall the Closing occur later than the
“Termination
Date”
which
shall be the October 1, 2008, unless the parties hereto shall agree in writing
to extend the date of such Closing. The Closing shall be held at the offices
of
the Purchaser at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, or such other

Party”)
of the
claim and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In
the
case of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in
connection with any claim or legal proceedings of a third party, the notice
to
the Indemnifying Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of
the
amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not
settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to
indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the Indemnifying Party

objection to such claim and written specifications in reasonable detail of

Cap”).
23
9.6 Tax
and Insurance.
All
indemnification or reimbursement payments required pursuant to this Agreement
shall be made net of all tax and insurance benefits actually received by the
Indemnified Party. In the event that any claim for indemnification asserted
hereunder is, or may be, the subject of any insurance coverage or other right
to
indemnification or contribution from any third person, the Indemnified
Party(ies) expressly agree that he (they) shall promptly notify the applicable
insurance carrier of any such claim or loss and tender defense thereof to such
carrier, and shall also promptly notify any potential third party indemnitor
or
contributor which may be liable for any portion of such losses or claims. The
Indemnified Party(ies) agree to pursue, at the cost and expense of the
Indemnified Party, such claims diligently and to reasonably cooperate, at the
cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, with each applicable insurance
carrier and third party indemnitor or contributor.
9.7 Undertakings.

10.11 Injunctive
Relief.
It is

and acknowledge that any such violation or threatened violation will cause
irreparable injury to the other and that, in addition to any other remedies
which may be available, such party shall be entitled to injunctive relief
against the threatened breach of Section 4.3 hereof or the continuation of
any
such breach without the necessity or proving actual damages and may seek to
specifically enforce the terms thereof.

settled finally, completely and conclusively by binding arbitration in Houston,
Xxxxxx County, Texas by a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.
In
the
arbitration proceeding, the Parent shall select one arbitrator, the Purchaser
shall select one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so selected shall select
a
third arbitrator. Should one party fail to select an arbitrator within ten

business days after notice of the appointed of an arbitrator by the other party

appointment of the last of such two arbitrators, any person sitting as a Judge
of the United States District Court of the Southern District of Texas, Houston
Division, upon application of the Parent or the Purchaser, shall appoint an
arbitrator to fill such space with the same force and effect as though such
arbitrator had been appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence of this Section 10.12. Arbitration shall be initiated by written demand
by the party seeking arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate shall be
specifically enforceable only in the District Court of Xxxxxx County, Texas.
A
decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive, and binding on all
parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in the District Court of Xxxxxx
County, Texas, to enforce such decision and the benefits thereof.
