and all such liabilities, as provided in Section 5 below.
1.3 Closing. The
closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets (the "Closing") will
take place on January 14, 2009 (the "Closing Date") at the offices of Parent,
unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties

Deliveries. Seller shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing: (i)
a properly executed Xxxx of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D; (ii) such
other documents and instruments of conveyance of title, in form reasonably

Treatment. It is the intention of the parties that the
transactions contemplated herein shall constitute for tax purposes a tax
deferred "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the
Code. The parties agree to take no position at any time which is
inconsistent with such intention, except as otherwise required by
law. It is understood that none of the parties warrants to any of the
others that the intended treatment will be obtained.
1.6 Further
Cooperation. From time to time after the Closing, Seller and
Stockholders at Buyer's request and without further consideration, agree to

necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES
2.1 Representations and
Warranties of Seller. Seller and Stockholders represent and
warrant to, and agree with, Parent and Buyer as follows:

(a) Organization. Seller
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of California.
(b) Authority To Do
Business. Seller has the requisite corporate power and
authority and is in possession of all licenses, permits, consents and approvals
necessary to own, lease and operate the Purchased Assets and to carry on the

Obligation. Seller and each Stockholder have all requisite
corporate and other power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement, and to carry out the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby. The Board of Directors of Seller has duly
authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, and no other proceedings on the part of Seller or any
Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
Seller and Stockholders and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Seller
and each Stockholder enforceable in accordance with its terms. The
execution, delivery and performance by Seller and each Stockholder of this
Agreement do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or
default under (i) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of
Seller, (ii) any provision of any ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order,
decree, agreement, instrument or license applicable to Seller or any Stockholder
or to any of its properties or assets, or (iii) any contract, agreement or
instrument to which Seller or any Stockholder is a party. No consent,
approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing
with, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental
authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is required by or with
respect to Seller or any Stockholder in connection with its execution, delivery
or performance of this Agreement.
(d) Inventories. All
inventories included in the Purchased Assets have been or will be valued at the

quality that are usable or salable in the ordinary course of the
Business.
(e) Title to
Property. Except for the lien for personal property taxes not
yet due, Seller has good and marketable title to all of the Purchased Assets, in
each case free and clear of all mortgages, liens, security interests, pledges,
charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.
(f)
Contracts. Except
for the contracts described on Schedule 2.1(f)
(collectively, the "Contracts"), Seller is not a party to or bound by any lease,
agreement, contract or other commitment which relates in any way to the Business
or the Purchased Assets. Each Contract is a valid and binding
obligation of Seller and is in full force and effect. Seller has
performed all material obligations required to be performed by it to date under
the Contracts, is not (with or without the lapse of time or the giving of
notice, or both) in breach or default in any material respect thereunder and is
not alleged to be in breach or default in any material respect
thereunder. All Contracts are in the name of Seller, and all
Contracts that are to be assumed by Buyer as of the Closing as set forth under
the heading “Assumed Contracts” on Schedule 2.1(f) (the
“Assumed Contracts”) will be effectively transferred to and assumed by Buyer at
the time of the Closing.
(g) Litigation. There
are no lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened by
or against or affecting Seller, Stockholder or any of their properties, assets,
operations or business that could in any way affect the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement or the value to Buyer of the Purchased Assets or
Buyer's right to utilize the Purchased Assets.

contains a true and correct listing of each license, permit or other
governmental authorization (collectively hereinafter referred to as the
"Licenses") held by Seller that in any way affects the Purchased
Assets. The Licenses constitute all licenses, permits and other
governmental authorizations that are required for the conduct of the Business
and the operation of the Purchased Assets, and all such Licenses are in full
force and effect and will be effectively transferred to Buyer at the
Closing.
(i) Employee and Related
Matters. There are no employment-related claims, actions,
proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against or relating to
Seller before any court, governmental, regulatory or administrative authority or
body, or arbitrator or arbitration panel. Seller is not subject to
any outstanding order, writ, judgment, injunction, decision, award, compliance
order, consent decree, conciliation agreement, settlement agreement, affirmative
action plan, determination letter or advisory of any court, governmental,
regulatory or administrative authority or body, or arbitrator or arbitration
panel. No collective bargaining agreement is binding on Seller.
Seller has not experienced any material work stoppage or other material labor
difficulty.
(j) Absence of Changes or
Events. Since September 30, 2008, the Business has been
conducted in the ordinary course and there has not been any material adverse
change in the financial condition, results of operations, business or assets of
the Business or the value or condition of the Purchased
Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, since
September 30, 2008 Seller has not, insofar as the Business or the Purchased
Assets are concerned, acquired or agreed to acquire any assets which are
material, individually or in the aggregate, to Seller, except in the ordinary

Plans. There are no plans of Seller in effect for pension,
profit sharing, deferred compensation, severance pay, pay for vacation, sick
time or other time off, bonuses, stock options, stock purchases, or any other
form of retirement or deferred benefit, or for any health, accident or other
welfare plan, as to which Buyer will become liable as a result of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
(n) Customers. Schedule 2.1(n)
contains a true and correct list of Seller's largest twenty (20) customers in
the Business for 2008. Seller has no information which would cause it
to believe that any such customer will not continue to do business with Buyer
after the Closing upon substantially the same terms and at such volumes as such
customer did business with Seller prior to the Closing.
(o) Condition of
Equipment. The furniture, fixtures, vehicles, machinery, tools
and equipment included in the Purchased Assets are being sold AS

Intellectual Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 2.1(p),

therefrom such invalid or unenforceable provision or portion and to enforce the
balance of said Section. If there is a breach or threatened breach of
such Section, Buyer shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the party
breaching or threatening breach, as the case may be, from such breach, without
the posting of any bond or other security, provided that nothing herein shall be
construed as prohibiting Buyer from pursuing any other remedies for such breach
or threatened breach. The undertakings and covenants of Seller and
each Stockholder contained in this Section 3.6 are an integral part of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the consideration paid by Buyer
pursuant to this Agreement shall be consideration not only for such transactions
but also for such undertakings and covenants.

Employment Matters. At or prior to Closing, Seller shall give
appropriate and sufficient notification, as may be required by both law and

the termination of their employment. Seller shall make no promises,
representations or guarantees to its employees about the possibility of their
being hired or employed by Buyer or Buyer's agents or subcontractors, except as
set forth below in this Section 3.7. At Closing, Buyer will offer to
hire those of Seller’s employees selected by Buyer on the terms and conditions
agreeable to Buyer and the relevant employees. Buyer shall not assume
any employment contracts or any obligations arising out of any employment
contracts, express or implied, oral or written, individual or collective,
between Seller and any of Seller's employees. Nor shall Buyer assume
any obligations arising out of any pension benefit, employee welfare benefit,
bonus, deferred compensation, severance pay, pay for vacation, sick time or
other time off, stock purchase, stock option, severance, fringe benefit, medical
insurance, life insurance or similar plan, policy or program of Seller, whether
or not covered or excluded from coverage under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). Seller shall be solely
responsible for complying with all of its obligations, if any, to its employees,
including the payment of accrued wages, vacation pay, severance and other
benefits and compliance with the provisions of ERISA, the Multi-Employer Pension
Plan Amendments Act of 1980 (MPPAA), the Consolidated Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act (COBRA), and the Worker Adjustment and Retraining

agents, affiliates or representatives (including any Stockholder), shall
advertise, seek, solicit, discuss, entertain, approve or undertake, directly or
indirectly, with any party other than Buyer any proposals for the transfer or
sale of the Business or the Purchased Assets, or any other transaction which is
inconsistent with the transactions contemplated hereby.
3.10 Confidentiality; Press
Releases. Each of the parties shall maintain the
confidentiality of the existence and terms of this Agreement, and no party shall
issue a press release or other publicity announcing the sale of the Purchased
Assets or any other aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby, prior to the
Closing without the prior written approval of the other party or parties, unless
such disclosure is required by applicable law, to such party’s attorneys and
other advisors, and except as provided in Section 3.7 above.

like.

Closing, and for a reasonable period in Parent’s discretion, Parent will

5. INDEMNIFICATION
5.1 Indemnification by Seller
and Stockholders. Except as hereinafter set forth, Seller and
each Stockholder shall indemnify and hold harmless on an after-tax basis Buyer
and Parent and each of its successors, assigns, officers, directors,
shareholders, employees and agents, against, and in respect of, any and all
damages, claims, losses, liabilities and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and other expenses, which may arise out
of: (a) any breach or violation of this Agreement by Seller or any
Stockholder; (b) any breach of any of the representations, warranties or
covenants made in this Agreement by Seller or any Stockholder; or
(c) Seller's conduct of the Business or use or operation of the Purchased
Assets prior to the Closing; provided however, that Seller and Stockholders
shall be liable for indemnification hereunder only when, and only with respect
to amounts by which, the aggregate of all claims exceeds $20,000 (other than
liabilities that are not Included Liabilities, which are not subject to this
threshold), and shall not be liable for an aggregate amount of all claims in
excess of the Parent Shares and the Option (valued at the per share closing
price of Parent’s Common Stock on the Closing Date). The amount of
any claim subject to Indemnification under this Section 5.1 may be referred to
as a “Seller Indemnification Amount.” Subject to Section 5.3(c)
below, (A) Indemnification under this Section 5.1 shall be (i) joint and several
as between Seller and all Stockholders, but (ii) strictly several, and not
joint, as between Stockholders based on Stockholders’ respective numbers of
shares and options in Seller’s capital stock immediately prior to Closing, and
(B) all Seller Indemnification Amounts shall be recovered exclusively from the
Parent Shares and the Option in accordance with Section 5.4 below.
5.2 Indemnification by Buyer and
Parent. Except as hereinafter set forth, Buyer and Parent
shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless on an after-tax basis
Seller and each Stockholder, and each if their respective successors, assigns,
officers, directors, shareholders, employees and agents, against, and in respect
of, any and all damages, claims, losses, liabilities and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable legal, accounting and other expenses, which may
arise out of: (a) any breach or violation of this Agreement by Buyer or
Parent; (b) any breach of any of the representations, warranties or
covenants made in this Agreement by Buyer or Parent; or (c) Buyer or
Parent's use or operation of the Purchased Assets after the Closing (including
the Included Liabilities); provided however, that Buyer shall be liable for
indemnification hereunder only when, and only with respect to amounts by which,
the aggregate of all claims exceeds $20,000 (other than payment of the Purchase
Price, including assumption of the Included Liabilities, which are not subject
to this threshold), and shall not be liable for an aggregate amount of such
claims in excess of the Parent Shares and the Option (valued at the per share
closing price of Parent’s Common Stock on the Closing Date).
5.3 Procedure. (a) In
the event that at any time or from time to time after the Closing, any person or
persons entitled to indemnification under Section 5.1 or 5.2 above
(collectively, the "Indemnitee") shall sustain a loss which constitutes a claim
subject to indemnification under either of such Sections (a "Claim"), such
Indemnitee shall notify the party required to provide indemnity (the
"Indemnitor") of such loss so sustained, and the Indemnitor shall within ten
(10) days after transmittal of such notice pay to such Indemnitee the amount of
such loss so sustained, subject to the Indemnitor's right to contest any Claim
which has not yet resulted in a loss, as hereinafter provided. Each
Indemnitee shall promptly notify the Indemnitor of the existence of any claim,
demand, or other matter constituting a Claim involving liabilities to third
parties (but the omission to so notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the
Indemnitor from any liability except to the extent that the Indemnitor shall
have been prejudiced as a result of the failure or delay), and
shall give the Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to defend the same or
prosecute such action to conclusion or settlement satisfactory to the Indemnitor
at its own expense; provided that the Indemnitee shall at all times also have
the right to fully participate in the defense at its own expense. If
legal proceedings shall have been commenced or a tax assessment made against the
Indemnitee on a Claim and the Indemnitor shall, within a reasonable time after
said notice, fail to defend, the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to undertake the defense of, and to compromise or settle (exercising
reasonable business judgment) the Claim or other matter on behalf, for the
account, and at the risk and expense, of the Indemnitor. Except as
provided in the preceding sentence, the Indemnitee shall not compromise or
settle the claim or other matter without the prior written consent of the
Indemnitor. If the claim is one that cannot by its nature be defended solely by
the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall make available all information and
assistance that the Indemnitor may reasonably request; provided that any
associated expenses shall be paid by the Indemnitor.
12
(b) If
the Indemnitor shall contest or challenge any Claim asserted against an
Indemnitee referred to in this Section 5, the Indemnitor shall do so at its own
cost and expense, holding the Indemnitee harmless from all costs, fees,
expenses, debts, liabilities and charges in connection with such contest; shall
diligently defend against any such claim; and shall hold Indemnitee's business
and assets free and harmless from any attachment, execution, judgment, lien or
other legal process.
(c) The
provisions of this Section 5 shall be exclusive of any other rights or remedies
at law or in equity that may accrue to an Indemnitee, except in the event of
fraud. In the event of any Seller Indemnification Amount resulting
from fraud by Seller or any Stockholder, those Stockholders that committed the
fraud or who had actual knowledge of the fraud prior to Closing shall be jointly
and severally liable for such Seller Indemnification Amount without regard to
Section 5.4 below.
5.4 Recovery. (a)
The Parent Shares will be held by Seller for six (6) months after the Closing
Date (and Seller will not liquidate until such period has expired) to be
surrendered to Parent (valued at the per share closing price of Parent’s Common
Stock on the Closing Date) in satisfaction of any Seller Indemnification Amount
due within six (6) months following the Closing Date. For six (6)
months after the Closing Date, Parent shall be entitled to cancel the Option or,
to the extent Xx. Xxxxxx shall have exercised the Option, recover the Parent
shares so issued (valued in either case at the per share closing price of
Parent’s Common Stock on the Closing Date) in satisfaction of any Seller
Indemnification Amount due within six (6) months following the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement other
than Section 5.3(c) above, any Seller Indemnification Amount shall be satisfied
by means of the simultaneous surrender of Parent Shares and cancellation of the
Option (and/or recovery of Parent shares issued upon exercise of the Option) on
a pro rata basis based on the number of Parent Shares issued at the Closing and
the number of shares initially subject to the Option. If there is a
dispute regarding any Seller Indemnification Amount alleged to be due or if the
dispute out of which such Amount arises (the “Indemnified Dispute”) has not been
resolved, in no event shall any Parent Shares be surrendered to Parent (nor
shall the Option be cancelled or any shares issued on exercise thereof be
recovered) in settlement of such disputed Parent Indemnification Amount unless
and until such dispute is settled by written agreement of Seller and Parent or
final court judgment not subject to appeal.
(b)
If there is no dispute pending regarding a
claimed Seller Indemnification Amount and the Indemnified Dispute has been
resolved and satisfied as of the day that is six (6) months after the Closing
Date (the “Deadline”), any remaining Parent Shares may be distributed thereafter
by Seller to Stockholders. If there is a dispute pending regarding a
claimed Seller Indemnification Amount or the Indemnified Dispute has not been
resolved and satisfied by Seller prior to the Deadline, an amount of Parent
Shares (valued at the per share closing price of Parent’s Common Stock on the
Closing Date) and a portion of the Option (or a portion of the Parent shares
issued on exercise of the Option) sufficient to satisfy such claimed Seller
Indemnification Amount ("Special Holdback") shall continue to be held by Seller
subject to surrender to Parent or shall continue to be subject to cancellation
(or recovery) by Parent for such claimed Seller Indemnification Amount incurred
with respect to the Indemnified Dispute, until such time as such Indemnified
Dispute has been settled by written agreement of the parties thereto or final
court judgment not subject to appeal, but any additional Parent Shares which do
not relate to the disputed Seller Indemnification Amount may be distributed by
Seller to Stockholders and any portion of the Option (or of the Parent shares
issued on exercise of the Option) shall cease being subject to cancellation (or
recovery) on the date of the Deadline. Parent shall permit Seller, in
the event of a Special Holdback, to sell the Parent Shares into the market and
the proceeds of such sale shall continue to be held under this Agreement as if
such proceeds were "Parent Shares," except that such proceeds shall be
segregated and deposited in a separate account of Seller appropriately
identified over which Seller shall retain control pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement.
13
(c) The
Parent Shares shall, until surrendered to Parent or distributed by Seller to
Stockholders pursuant to the terms hereof, remain registered in the name of
Seller, and Seller shall be entitled to vote the same and Parent will take all
reasonable steps to allow and facilitate the exercise of such
rights. Except for tax-free dividends paid in stock declared with
respect to the Parent Shares pursuant to Section 305(a) of the Code, Seller
shall be entitled to receive any cash dividends, dividends payable in securities
or distributions of any kind made in respect of the Parent
Shares. Any shares issued pursuant to a stock dividend or stock split
with respect to the Parent Shares shall continue to be held during the period
the Parent Shares are held by Seller pursuant hereto. Any
certificates received by Seller on account of stock dividends or stock splits
with respect to the Parent Shares shall be held by Seller pursuant
hereto. In the event of any meeting of stockholders of Parent during
the period for which the Parent Shares are held by Seller pursuant hereto,
Parent shall send to Seller promptly copies of any notices, proxies and proxy
material in connection with such meeting.
6. SECURITIES LAW
MATTERS

Shares. Seller and each Stockholder agrees that they will not
sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Parent Shares distributed to them,
except from Seller to Stockholders in accordance with Sections 1.4 and 5.4 above
or pursuant to (a) an exemption from the registration requirements under the Act
which does not require the filing by Parent with the SEC of any registration
statement, offering circular or other document, in which case, each such
transferor shall first supply to Parent an opinion of counsel (which counsel and
opinions shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) that such exemption is
available, or (b) an effective registration statement filed by Parent with the
SEC under the Act.
6.2 Legends. The
certificates representing Parent Shares shall bear the following

LAW, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED
OF BY THE HOLDER EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION
STATEMENT FILED UNDER THE ACT, AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE WITH RESPECT THERETO, OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE SATISFACTORY
TO THE ISSUER THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION
IS AVAILABLE.

stop transfer orders with its transfer agents with respect to such certificates
in accordance with federal securities laws.
6.3 Obtaining of Governmental
Approvals and Stock Exchange Listings. Parent will (a) make
available adequate current public information with respect to Parent as is

Seller or Stockholders under Rule 144 promulgated under the Act ("Rule 144")
during the one year period after the Closing, (b) direct the transfer agent of
Parent's Common Stock to remove the restrictive legend provided for in Section
6.2 and to deliver such certificates to a purchaser of Parent Shares from Seller
or any Stockholder in connection with a sale under Rule 144, and (c) cause such
shares of Parent Common Stock to be received by such purchaser to be listed on
the market where such Common Stock is then listed.

therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor
shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other
breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver,
permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of
