2.3 ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PRICE BASED ON EARN-OUT

In addition to payment of the Purchase Price as set forth above in Section 2.2, Buyer will provide Seller with a statement setting forth the calculations of the payments set forth below and will pay to Seller within twenty-five days following the end of the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending June 30, 2007, and of the period beginning July 1, 2007 and ending December 31, 2007:

35% of (.35 multiplied by) Net Company Product Revenue in such semiannual period of 2007 to the extent in excess of the Net Company Product Revenue in the corresponding semiannual period of 2006 (which Net Company Product Revenue in the corresponding periods of 2006 are set forth in Schedule 3.29 of Seller’s Disclosure Schedules); and

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Buyer retains the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse to enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement that might or would lead to Net Company Product Revenue if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith business judgment that the approval of such action would breach the directors’ fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the payments made pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) and (ii) (the “Earnout Payments”) above will be paid by the Seller directly (less any off sets set forth in the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization) to the prior shareholders of the Company. The Agreement and Plan of Reorganization provides the prior shareholders with a mechanism to challenge the calculation of the Earnout Payments. In the event of such a challenge, Buyer agrees, at Seller’s expense, to cooperate with Seller to respond to the challenge and will provide such documentation as is necessary to respond to the challenge. Neither Buyer nor the Company shall have any liability to such prior shareholders by virtue of this Agreement.

Within 15 days after the end of each calendar month during the period from Closing until December 31, 2007, Buyer will cause the Company to pay Seller 20% of the Company’s Net Company Product Revenue during such preceding month as an advance payment toward the amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i) and (ii) above. If additional amounts are to be paid to Seller pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), then Buyer will cause the Company to pay such additional amounts within 25 days after the end of each period specified in (a) above.

Buyer agrees that it will cause the Company to account for sales of Company Products from Closing to December 31, 2007 in accordance with the way the Company currently accounts for sales of Company Products, (i.e., sales will be recognized upon installation of the sold Product).

All accounts receivable of the Company that are reflected on the Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”) represent or will represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. Unless paid prior to the Closing

Date, the Accounts Receivable are or will be as of the Closing Date current and collectible net of the respective reserves shown on the Balance Sheet or on the accounting records of the Company as of the Closing Date (which reserves are adequate and calculated consistent with past practice and, in the case of the reserve as of the Closing Date, will not represent a greater percentage of the Accounts Receivable as of the Closing Date than the reserve reflected in the Interim Balance Sheet represented of the Accounts Receivable reflected therein and will not represent a material adverse change in the composition of such Accounts Receivable in terms of aging). Subject to such reserves, each of the Accounts Receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any set off, within ninety days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable.

given or been requested to give waivers or extensions (or is or would be subject to a waiver or extension given by any other Person) of any statute of limitations relating to the payment of Taxes of the Company or for which the Company may be liable.

There exists no proposed tax assessment against the Company except as disclosed in the Balance Sheet or in Schedule 3.11 of the Disclosure Schedules. All Taxes that the Company is or was required by Legal Requirements to withhold or collect have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid to the proper Governmental Body or other Person.

Any failure so to notify the Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5 unless and to the extent the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party.

(i) the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at his own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action;

(b) The parties hereto shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Action pursuant to this Section 5 and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.

5.5 LIMITATIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION

In no event shall an Indemnifying Party have any liability or obligation with respect to any claim made under Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.3(a), as applicable unless each such claim is brought within the applicable survival period set forth in Section 5.1, and unless and until the aggregate amount of Indemnified Costs claimed under Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.3(a), as applicable, in accordance with the terms of Section 5.2 or Section 5.3, as applicable, exceeds [$50,000] (in which case the Indemnifying Party’s liability shall be for the full amount of such Indemnified Costs, without regard to such $50,000 threshold).

5.7 DIRECT CLAIMS

In any case in which an Indemnified Party seeks indemnification hereunder that is not subject to Section 5.4 hereof because no third-party action is involved, the Indemnified Party shall notify Buyer and Seller, as the case may be, in writing of any Indemnified Costs that it claims are subject to indemnification under the terms hereof. The failure of the Indemnified Party to exercise promptness in such notification shall not amount to a waiver of such claim unless the resulting delay materially prejudices the position of the Indemnifying Parties with respect to such claim.

5.8 EFFECT OF DUE DILIGENCE

The right of a party to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the other party under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by such first party at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of such second party.

Upon a finding of breach, Buyer shall have the right to an injunction from a court of competent jurisdiction requiring the curing of any breach and the specific enforcement of Seller’s obligations hereunder, and may, in addition, recover any and all damages, including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, suffered as a result of said breach. Buyer’s waiver of its rights with respect to a breach of this Covenant Not to Compete shall not operate to or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach.

Seller agrees that in the event Buyer, its successors or assigns shall bring an action for the enforcement of any or all of the provisions of this Covenant Not to Compete, and if the court shall find on the basis of the evidence introduced in such action that this Covenant Not to Compete is unreasonable as to the time period, then the court shall make a finding as to what is reasonable and shall enforce this Covenant Not to Compete by judgment or decree to the extent of such finding.
