---------------
("REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event
that each of the Sellers shall become able to sell all of their Orbit shares

then Buyer's obligation to maintain the SEC registration statement shall cease.
2.08 Contingent Earn-Out Payment.
-----------------------------
Buyer shall pay to the Sellers up to an additional $1,000,000 in accordance
with the allocations set forth in Exhibit 2.03, over the next three years
-------------
following the Closing in increments of $333,333 per year (the "ANNUAL EARN-OUT
PAYMENT") provided ICS attains Net Revenues (defined below) of no less than
$7,000,000 in each of the 2008, 2009, and 2010 fiscal years. The Annual
Earn-Out Payment for up to the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 shall be evidenced
by a non-interest bearing promissory note of Buyer (the "Buyer's Promissory
Note") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.08(a). In the event that ICS
---------------
does not achieve the minimum of $7,000,000 of Net Revenues in any of the 2008,
2009, or 2010 fiscal years (each individually referred to as an "EARN-OUT
YEAR"), the Annual Earn-Out Payment attributable to that fiscal year shall be
eliminated in its entirety and forfeited by the Sellers in its entirety. The
Annual Earn-Out Payments, if any, shall be paid by Buyer to the Sellers in cash
on the date that is ten (10) business days following receipt by Buyer of the
final audit report for ICS (as then owned by Buyer) for the fiscal year then
ended but in no event later than April 15th (the "EARN-OUT PAYMENT DATE"). "NET
REVENUES" shall mean the sum of revenues from all sources related to ICS's
operations (priced consistently with past practices to yield similar gross
margins) and net non-operating income, after making adequate provisions for
uncollectible debt, discounts, chargebacks and rebates. The calculation of Net
Revenues shall be derived from audited consolidated financial statements of
Buyer applied consistent with past practices of ICS. Within a period of ten
(10) days following Buyer's receipt of draft financial statements for ICS, Buyer
shall deliver to the Sellers (i) an income statement of ICS for the applicable
Earn-Out Year; (ii) a calculation of the Net Revenues for such Earn-Out Year;
and (iii) a statement as to whether the Sellers are entitled to an Annual
Earn-Out Payment for such Earn-Out Year (collectively, the "EARN-OUT
CALCULATION"). Unless any of the Sellers notify Buyer of any disagreement with
Buyer's calculation of Net Revenues within ten (10) business days after receipt
of the Earn-Out Calculation, the Earn-Out Calculation shall be final and shall
be deemed conclusively accepted by and binding upon the Sellers and Buyer. On
an after the date Buyer delivers the Earn-Out Calculation to the Sellers, the
Sellers and their professional Representatives shall have access to the work
papers used to prepare the Earn-Out Calculation and the books and records
relating to the Earn-Out Calculation, upon reasonable notice during normal
business hours. If any of the Sellers notify Buyer of any such disagreement
within such ten (10) business day period and such disagreement cannot be
amicably resolved within an additional period of ten (10) business days, then
the disagreement shall be submitted for determination to an accounting firm
mutually agreeable to the Sellers and Buyer, or failing such mutual agreement,
to the American Arbitration Association in Jefferson County, Commonwealth of
Kentucky.
This Agreement and, in particular, the Annual Earn-Out Payment shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their successors,
legal representatives and assigns. During the next three years following the
Closing, the Shares shall be pledged by Buyer to the Sellers pursuant to the
terms and conditions of a Pledge Agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 2.08(b) as collateral for Buyer's obligation to pay the Annual Earn-Out
----------
Payment to the Sellers including in the event Buyer enters into a transaction or
otherwise intentionally engages in a course of conduct that causes a Material
Adverse Change to ICS's business operations, other than in the Ordinary Course
of Business, and which results in the failure of ICS to achieve the minimum of
$7,000,000 of Net Revenues in any Earn-Out Year; in such event, the Annual
Earn-Out Payment attributable to that fiscal year shall be paid by Buyer to the
Sellers by certified check or bank wire of immediately available funds on the
date that is ten (10) business days following receipt by Buyer of the final
audit report for ICS for the fiscal year then ended but in no event later than
the Earn-Out Payment Date. For purposes of clarification, examples of a
Material Adverse Change to ICS's business operations could include (x) the
discontinuance of ICS's main product line or (y) a reorganization, merger or
consolidation (other than a reincorporation or similar event, which has no
effect on ICS's business operations) or a sale of all or substantially all of
the assets of ICS to a non-affiliated entity of the Buyer (a "Change of
Control") in which the Sellers' obligations with respect to the Annual Earn-Out
Payments are not assumed in such a Change of Control. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Shares shall be deposited with MLBFS, Buyer's principal lender,
as collateral to ensure repayment of all loans entered into by Buyer with MLBFS
and each of the Sellers hereby agrees and acknowledges that any interest he or
she has in the Shares and the Buyer's Contingent Promissory Note under this
Section 2.08 shall be subordinated to MLBFS.
2.09 Tax Matters.
-----------
(a) Section 338(h)(10) Election. ICS and each of the Sellers shall join

basis at least five (5) Business Days before the date that the Section

(b) S Corporation Status. ICS has elected to be taxed as an S corporation
within the meaning of Code 1361 and 1362 since its inception and ICS and the
Sellers will not revoke such election, or allow any events to occur which with
the passage of time could result in the revocation of such status.
(c) Allocation of Purchase Price/Earn-Out Payment. Buyer, ICS and each of
the Sellers hereby agree that the Purchase Price and any Annual Earn-Out
Payments (if paid) will be allocated to the assets of ICS by the Buyer in a

outstanding shares of capital stock and securities are duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and free and clear of Liens.
(b) Other than in connection with the Share Purchase, and except as set
forth in Schedule 3.13(b) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule, neither ICS or Sellers
----------------
are bound by, or has any obligation to grant or enter into, any (i) outstanding
subscriptions, options, warrants, calls, commitments, or agreements of any
character calling for them to issue, deliver, or sell, or cause to be issued,
delivered, or sold, any shares of its capital stock, any membership interests or
any other equity security, or any securities described in the following clause,
or (ii) securities convertible into, exchangeable for, or representing the right
to subscribe for, purchase, or otherwise acquire any shares of its capital
stock, any membership interests or any other equity security.
(c) Other than in connection with the Share Purchase, and except as set
forth in Schedule 3.13(c) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule, neither Sellers or ICS
----------------
(i) has no outstanding obligations, contractual or otherwise, to repurchase,
redeem, or otherwise acquire any shares of capital stock, membership interests
or other equity securities of ICS, (ii) is not a party to or bound by any
agreement or instrument relating to the voting of any of its securities, or
(iii) is not a party to or bound by any agreement or instrument under which any
person has the right to require it to effect, or to include any securities held
by such person in, any registration under the Securities Act.
3.14 Financial Condition.
--------------------
(a) Financial Statements. ICS has delivered to Buyer audited consolidated
financial statements of ICS, including balance sheets and the related statements
of operations and retained earnings and statements of cash flows for the
year ended December 31, 2006 (the "Audited Financial Statements") and the
compiled financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 and the eight
month period ended August 31, 2007 (collectively the "Compiled Financial
Statements") together with the related notes and schedules (collectively, the
"ICS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS"). The Sellers in their capacity as officers of ICS
reviewed the ICS Financial Statements, and based on their Knowledge, believe
that the ICS Financial Statements do not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not
misleading with respect to the periods covered by the ICS Financial Statements.
The Audited Financial Statements have been audited by a certified public
accountant and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition
and the results of operations, retained earnings, shareholders' equity and cash
flows of ICS as at the respective dates of and for the periods referred to
therein, all in accordance with GAAP and including an unqualified report. The
ICS Financial Statements reflect the consistent application of GAAP throughout
the periods involved, except as disclosed in the notes to such financial
statements. The ICS Financial Statements are true, correct and complete
statements in all material respects of the financial condition and the results
of operations of ICS as at and for the periods therein specified. Since December
31, 2006, there has been no change in ICS's method of accounting for Tax
purposes or any other purpose. The ICS Financial Statements as of August 31,
2007 (the "CUT-OFF DATE") disclose all Liabilities (contingent or otherwise) of
ICS required to be disclosed therein under GAAP and contain adequate reserves
for Taxes and all other material accrued Liabilities and there are no loss
contingencies which are not adequately provided for in the ICS Financial
Statements. The ICS Financial Statements have been prepared from and are in
accordance with the accounting Books and Records of ICS. ICS has delivered to
Buyer copies of all letters from ICS's auditors to ICS's board of directors or
the audit committee thereof during the thirty-six (36) months preceding the
execution of this Agreement, together with copies of all responses thereto.
Buyer acknowledges that it has reviewed and approved the reports of the
independent auditors with respect to the Financial Statements.
(b) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002. The Sellers have no reason to believe that
ICS's internal controls and procedures would prevent it from complying with
Section 404 of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, subject to Section 7.01 below
under which Buyer's auditors will have access to ICS's books and records to
confirm this representation.
(c) Accounts Receivable. Accounts receivable and trade receivables
(collectively defined as the "ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE") of ICS reflected in the ICS
Financial Statements are valid, bona fide existing claims for the aggregate
amounts thereof reflected in the ICS Financial Statements, net of the reserves
or allowances for doubtful receivables reflected in such Financial Statements or
thereafter in ICS's books and records uniformly maintained in accordance with
the ICS Financial Statements, accounted for in accordance with GAAP, and the
Sellers know of no reason as of the Closing Date that would make such Accounts
Receivable not collectible. This representation is in no manner a representation
as to the amount of Accounts Receivable which will ultimately be collected.
(d) Inventory. All Inventory has been acquired and maintained in accordance
with the regular business practices of ICS, consists of new and unused items of
a quality and quantity usable or saleable in the Ordinary Course of Business,
and is valued at reasonable amounts based on the normal valuation policies of
ICS at prices equal to the lower of cost or market value on a first-in,
first-out basis. All obsolete or slow moving Inventory and/or Inventory on hand
that is not needed to fulfill present and/or anticipated orders has been written
off.
(e) Costs and estimated earnings in excess of xxxxxxxx/ xxxxxxxx in excess
of costs and estimated earnings. The accounts reflected in the ICS Financial
Statements represent Sellers' best estimate of estimated costs, estimated gross
profit, estimated gross profit percentage and estimated percentage complete for
each contract in progress.
(f) Accounts Payable. Schedule 3.14(f) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule sets
----------------
forth a true, correct and complete list of all accounts payable of ICS at the
date indicated thereon and updated as of the date hereof, including amounts
payable to trade creditors and other short-term Liabilities commonly identified
as accounts payable, which are, to the best of the Sellers' Knowledge, bona
fide, valid and binding obligations of ICS incurred in the Ordinary Course of
Business on an arms-length basis. Schedule 3.14(f) sets forth the dates upon
----------------
which payment to each of the listed items is due.
3.15 Absence of Certain Changes.
-----------------------------
Since the Cut-Off Date, other than in the Ordinary Course of Business and
except as disclosed in Schedule 3.15 and as contemplated by this Agreement,
--------------
there has not been:

or otherwise) or disposition (by sale, lease as lessor, license as licensor, or
otherwise) by ICS, of any properties or assets, or (ii) other transaction by, or

properties, assets, Liabilities, investments, revenues, expenses, income,

that, either in any case or in the aggregate, has caused, or could reasonably be

distribution (in cash, stock, and/or property or otherwise) in respect of any

----------------
(f) any issuance of any shares of the capital stock or other securities or
derivative securities of ICS, or any direct or indirect redemption, purchase, or
other acquisition by ICS of any shares of its capital stock or other securities;
(g) any change in the officers, directors, key employees or material
independent contractors or vendors of ICS;
(h) any labor trouble or claim of unfair labor practices involving ICS, any
increase in the compensation or other benefits payable or to become payable by
ICS to any of its Affiliates, or to any of its officers, employees, or
independent contractors, or any bonus payments or arrangements made to or with
any of such officers, employees, or independent contractors, which have caused
or could reasonably be expected to cause, either in any case or in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;
(i) any forgiveness or cancellation of any material debt or claim by ICS or
any waiver by ICS of any right of material value, other than compromises of
Accounts Receivable in the Ordinary Course of Business;
(j) any incurrence or any payment, discharge, or satisfaction or default by
ICS of any material Indebtedness or any material obligations or material
Liabilities, whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise (including
without limitation Liabilities, as guarantor or otherwise, with respect to
obligations of others), and whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured,
liquidated or unliquidated, other than that which are reflected or reserved
against in the ICS Financial Statements or incurred in the Ordinary Course of
Business that have not caused and cannot reasonably be expected to cause, either
in any case or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect;
(k) any incurrence, discharge, or satisfaction of any Lien (i) by ICS, or
(ii) on any of the capital stock, other securities, properties, or assets owned
or leased by ICS;

fulfill its customers' orders, that, singly or in the aggregate, has caused, or

aforementioned.
3.16 Properties, Leases, Etc.
--------------------------
(a) Title to Properties; Condition of Personal Properties. ICS has (i) good
and marketable title to all of the assets and properties owned by it, including
without limitation all assets and properties reflected in the ICS Financial
Statements free and clear of all Liens, (ii) valid title to the lessee interest
in all assets and properties leased by it as lessee, free and clear of all
Liens, other than lessors' interests in such assets, and (iii) full right to
hold and use all of its assets and properties used in or necessary to its
business and operations, in each case all free and clear of all Liens, and in
each case subject to applicable Laws and the terms of any lease under which ICS
leases such assets or properties as lessee. All such assets and properties are
in good condition and repair, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and
collectively are adequate and sufficient to carry on the business of ICS as
presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
(b) No Owned Real Properties. ICS does not own any real property or any
interest (other than a leasehold interest) in any real property.
(c) Leased Properties. Schedule 3.16(c) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule sets
----------------
forth a complete and correct description of all leases of real or personal
property under which ICS is lessor or lessee. True, complete and correct copies
of all such leases and all amendments, supplements, and modifications thereto
(THE "LEASES") (excepting any Lease pertaining to personal property with an
annual rent of less than $10,000 and total remaining rental payments of less
than $20,000), have been delivered to Buyer. Each Lease is valid and enforceable
in accordance with its terms (subject to bankruptcy, insolvency and similar Laws
affecting creditor's rights generally and to general equitable principles), is
in full force and effect and, to the Knowledge of the Sellers, no event or
condition exists that constitutes, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would constitute, a default thereunder by ICS, or, to the Knowledge of the
Sellers, any other party to any of the Leases. The right, title and interest of
ICS in and to the Leases are subject to no Lien, and ICS is in quiet and lawful
possession of the demised premises ("Demised Premises")described IN THE LEASES.
ICS has established adequate reserves which are reflected in the ICS Financial
Statements, for the anticipated costs of any and all renovation, maintenance
and/or repair required to be performed at the Demised Premises or required to be
paid for by ICS upon termination of any of the Leases. Each Lease represents
the entire agreement between the lessor thereunder and ICS, including all
representations and warranties, and there exist no agreements between ICS and
any party other than as set forth in the Leases. ICS has paid in full all
obligations for brokerage commissions and finders' fees incurred in entering
into the Leases. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.16(c), the Demised Premises,
----------------
including all fixtures, furnishings, improvements and personalty in the Demised
Premises are in good working order, and at Closing shall be in the same
condition as on the date hereof; provided, further, that the building and land
of which the Demised Premises are a part in good working order, condition and
repair, and to the Knowledge of the Sellers, have no structural or mechanical
defects.
(d) Pending Tax Proceedings. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.16(d) of the
----------------
ICS Disclosure Schedule, ICS has not retained anyone to file notices of protest
against, or to commence actions to review, real property Tax assessments against
the leased Premises, and is not aware that any such action has been taken by or
on behalf of any lessees under the leases. Schedule 3.16(d) of the ICS
----------------
Disclosure Schedule contains (i) a list and description of all actions taken by
ICS to file notices of protest against, or to commence actions to review, real
property Tax assessments against the leased Premises, and that status of all

(e) Insurance Policies. ICS has furnished to Buyer an accurate schedule of
all insurance policies now affecting the leased Premises as set forth in
Schedule 3.16(e) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule. These policies are in
---------
compliance with, and fulfill all of ICS's insurance obligations under the leases
-
and each of these policies permits any waiver of subrogation contained in, or
required by, the leases, and the only insurance policies carried on the leased
Premises are those set forth in Schedule 3.16(e) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule.
----------------
3.17 Indebtedness.

after the Closing, ICS will not have any Indebtedness outstanding. ICS is not
in default with respect to any outstanding Indebtedness or any instrument or
agreement relating thereto, and no such Indebtedness or any instrument or
agreement relating thereto purports to limit the issuance of any securities by
ICS or the operation of its business. Complete and correct copies of all
instruments and agreements (including all amendments, supplements, waivers, and
consents) relating to any Indebtedness of ICS have been furnished to Buyer.
3.18 Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities.

material Liabilities or obligations of any nature, whether accrued, absolute,
contingent, or otherwise (including, without limitation, Liabilities as
guarantor or otherwise with respect to obligations of others) and whether due or
to become due.
3.19 Tax Matters.

-------------
Returns required to be filed by it under applicable Laws, each such Tax Return
has been prepared in compliance with all applicable Laws and regulations, and
all such Tax Returns are true, correct, complete and accurate in all respects.
All Taxes due and payable by ICS as reflected on such Tax Returns have been
paid, and ICS will not be liable for any additional Taxes in respect of any
Taxable period ending on or before the Effective Date in an amount that exceeds
the corresponding reserve therefor, if any, reflected in the accounting records
of ICS as of the Effective Date. ICS is not doing business in or engaged in a
trade or business in any jurisdiction in which it has not filed all required Tax
Returns and no claim has ever been made by a Taxing authority in a
jurisdiction where ICS does not pay Tax or file Tax Returns that ICS is or may
be subject to Taxes assessed by such jurisdiction. There are no Liens for Taxes

has disclosed on its federal income Tax Returns all positions taken therein that
could give rise to a substantial understatement of federal income Taxes within
the meaning of Section 6662 of the Code. ICS has never participated in any
listed transaction, as defined in Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2),
required to be reported in a disclosure statement pursuant to Treasury
Regulation Section 1.6011-4. ICS is not subject to tax under Section 1374 of
the Code.

authority Proceeding (foreign, federal, state or local), or audit with respect
to any Tax now in progress, pending, or to the best of the Sellers' Knowledge,
threatened, against or with respect to ICS. Except as set forth in Schedule
--------
3.19(b) of the ICS Disclosure Schedule, no deficiency or proposed adjustment in
----
respect of Taxes that has not been settled or otherwise resolved has been
asserted or assessed by any Taxing authority against ICS. ICS has not consented

authority. ICS has not requested or been granted an extension of the time for
filing any Tax Return to a date on or after the Closing Date.
(c) Membership in Affiliated Groups, Etc. ICS has never been a member of
any Affiliated Group, or filed or been included in a combined, consolidated, or

current or potential contractual obligation to indemnify any other person with
respect to Taxes.
(d) Withholding Taxes. ICS has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have
been withheld and paid by it in connection with amounts paid or owing to any
employee, creditor, independent contractor, or other Person.
(e) Amending Tax Returns. Following Closing, no Tax Returns with respect to
ICS shall be amended without the prior written consent of the Sellers if such
amendments could result in liability to such Sellers.

written notice of, and neither does any of the Sellers have Knowledge of, any
violations or investigations relating thereto. Any written notice of violations
thereof which shall be received by ICS before Closing, whether now noted or
issued, shall be cured by ICS so that the Premises shall be conveyed free of the

to Closing, it shall not constitute a default hereunder and the parties shall
mutually agree to postpone Closing or to escrow funds for such cure.
(c) To the Knowledge of the Sellers, ICS is and has been in compliance with

5.03 Indemnification Procedure.
--------------------------
All claims by a party seeking indemnification (the "INDEMNIFIED PARTY")
under this Article V shall be asserted and resolved as follows:
(a) Notice of Claims. In the event that (i) any claim, suit, action,
Proceeding (formal or informal) or investigation is asserted or instituted by
any Person other than the parties to this Agreement which could give rise to any
judgment, deficiency, damages, settlement or Liability for which the party
from whom the indemnification is being sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PARTY") could
be liable to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement (such claim, suit,
action, Proceeding (formal or informal) or investigation, a "THIRD PARTY CLAIM")
or (ii) any Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall have a claim to be
indemnified by the Indemnifying Party which does not involve a Third Party Claim
(such claim, a "DIRECT CLAIM" and, together with Third Party Claims, "CLAIMS"),
the Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness send to the Indemnifying
Party a written notice specifying the nature of such Claim and the amount or
estimated amount thereof (which amount or estimated amount shall not be
conclusive of the final amount, if any, of such Claim) (a "CLAIM NOTICE"),
provided that a delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such
Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement except to the extent
that (and only to the extent that) such failure shall have caused the losses for
which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to be greater than such losses would
have been had the Indemnified Party given proper notice.
(b) Third Party Claims. In the event of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of its choice at its
expense to represent the Indemnified Party and any others. The Indemnifying
Party may reasonably designate in connection with such Third Party Claim (in
which case the Indemnifying Party shall not thereafter be responsible for the
fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Party
except as set forth below), provided that such counsel is reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party's election to
appoint counsel to represent an Indemnified Party in connection with a Third
Party Claim, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate
counsel, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel selected by the
Indemnifying Party to represent the Indemnified Party would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have
employed counsel to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time
after notice of the institution of such Third Party Claim. If requested by the
Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees to cooperate with the
Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the
Indemnifying Party is defending, or, if appropriate and related to the Third
Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting
the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any Person.
(c) Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the
written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), (i) settle or compromise any
Claims or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff to the
Indemnified Party of a written release from all Liability in respect of such
Claim of all Indemnified Parties affected by such Claim or (ii) settle or
compromise any Claim if the settlement imposes equitable remedies or material
obligations on the Indemnified Party other than financial obligations for which
such Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder. No Claim which is being
defended in good faith by the Indemnifying Party in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement shall be settled or compromised by the Indemnified Party without
the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(d) Direct Claims. In the event of a Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party
shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) Business Days
of receipt of a Claim Notice whether or not the Indemnifying Party will dispute
such claim.
(e) Access. From and after the delivery of a Claim Notice under this
Agreement, at the reasonable request of the Indemnifying Party, each Indemnified
Party shall grant the Indemnifying Party and its Representatives all reasonable
access to the books, records and properties of such Indemnified Party to the
extent reasonably related to the matters to which the Claim Notice relates. All
such access shall be granted during normal business hours and shall be granted
under conditions which will not unreasonably interfere with the business and
operations of such Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will not, and shall
require that its Representatives do not, use (except in connection with such
Claim Notice) or disclose to any third Person other than the Indemnified Party's
Representatives (except as may be required by applicable Law) any information
obtained pursuant to this Section 5.03(e) which is designated as confidential by
an Indemnified Party.
(f) Cooperation; Mitigation of Damages. Each Indemnified Party agrees to
take all reasonable steps to mitigate damages in respect of any Claim for which
indemnification is sought, including without limitation using commercially
reasonable efforts to effect recovery from third parties. Each Indemnified
Party shall use good faith efforts to avoid or minimize costs or expenses
associated with any such Claim, and shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party
in its efforts to defend or contest any such Claim.
(g) Threshold Amount and Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, the Sellers shall have no indemnification obligation
whatsoever with respect to the following:
(i) Any Claims, suits, actions, Proceedings (formal or informal),
investigations, judgments, deficiencies, damages, settlements, Liabilities, and
legal and other expenses unless and until the aggregate amount of such matters
exceeds the sum of Fifty Thousand and no/100ths Dollars ($50,000.00) (the
"Basket") provided, however, that the Sellers shall not be liable for any claim
-------- -------
which individually does not exceed $5,000 and such claims not meeting this
threshold shall not be applied in calculating the Basket; and provided, further
-------- -------
that, in no event, shall the foregoing $5,000 "de minimus exception" apply with
respect to willful breaches of any representations and warranties;
(ii) The liability of any Seller for indemnification hereunder shall in no
circumstance exceed an amount equal to such Seller's allocated share of the
Purchase Price as set forth in Exhibit 2.03 of this Agreement which such Seller
------------
actually receives; and
(iii) Any liability of any Seller for indemnification with respect to a
Direct Claim which has been adjudicated pursuant to a final unappealable order
of the court of competent jurisdiction, shall be satisfied up to the thresholds
set forth in Subparagraph (ii) above, and unless otherwise directed by each such
Seller, first from the Escrow Collateral held pursuant to Section 2.06(c); and,
if not satisfied, the pro-rata portion of cash received by such Seller from any
Annual Earn-Out Payments; and, if not satisfied, next from the pro-rata portion
of Orbit Shares (valued at the average Closing Price of such stock for the ten
(10) trading days immediately prior to the payment date by such Seller); and
finally, if not satisfied, the cash received by such Seller at Closing pursuant
to Section 2.02(ii) of this Agreement.
5.04 Survival.
--------
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all representations,
warranties, covenants and obligations in this Agreement, the ICS Disclosure
Schedule, the Orbit Disclosure Schedule and any other certificate or document
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and the
consummation of the Share Purchase for a period of two (2) years after the
Closing Date as to the representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of
Sellers ("Applicable Survival Period"). Any claim first asserted in writing and
in reasonable detail to the Indemnifying Party within the Applicable Survival
Period shall survive the Closing until finally resolved notwithstanding
expiration of the Applicable Survival Period, but in no other event shall any
claim for indemnification be asserted after the expiration date of the
Applicable Survival Period. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or
other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants and
obligations shall not be affected by any investigation (including any
environmental investigation or assessment) conducted with respect to to the
accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty,
covenant or obligation, except that any Knowledge acquired (or capable of being
acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Closing Date with respect to
any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation shall void any claim for
indemnification with respect thereto. In no event shall any information or
condition of which Buyer had Knowledge (or reasonably should have had Knowledge)
on or before the Closing Date, constitute the basis of a claim for
indemnification under this Agreement against any of the Sellers.
ARTICLE VI.
COVENANTS OF THE SELLERS
6.01 Access.
------
ICS will afford, and the Sellers will cause ICS to afford, the officers,
employees, counsel, agents, accountants, and other Representatives of Buyer
reasonable access, at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice though the
Effective Date, to the plants, properties, books, and records of ICS, will
permit any of them to conduct at Buyer's expense, any environmental
investigation of the properties deemed necessary by the Buyer or Buyer's
environmental consultant, and agreed to by Sellers will permit any of them to
make extracts from and copies of such books and records, and will from time to
time furnish any of them with such additional financial and operating data and
other information as to the financial condition, results of operations,
business, properties, assets, Liabilities, or future prospects of ICS as they
from time to time may request, provided however that Buyer and its
Representatives shall not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of ICS's
business. In connection with the foregoing, ICS will allow Buyer's independent
accountants to (i) audit the ICS Financial Statements at Buyer's expense in
order to prepare such audited financial statements as are required to be
included in Buyer's Current Report on Form 8-K for the Share Purchase and
subsequently to be included in a registration statement pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement for the Orbit Shares, in accordance with the
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and (ii) perform all necessary work
required to determine that ICS will have in place the necessary internal
controls and procedures to be in compliance with Section 404 of the
Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 following the Closing Date. In addition, ICS and the
Sellers shall continue to provide Buyer and its independent accountants with
current unaudited financial statements for any completed calendar quarter prior
to the Effective Date.
6.02 Conduct of Business.
-------------------
ICS will use reasonable best efforts to conduct its affairs, and the
Sellers will cause ICS to use reasonable best efforts to conduct its affairs, so
that at the Effective Date, no representation or warranty of the Sellers and
ICS will be inaccurate, no covenant or agreement of the Sellers and Sellers will
be breached, and no condition in this Agreement will remain unfulfilled by
reason of the actions or omissions not in the Ordinary Course of Business of ICS
or any Seller. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in the ordinary course of
ICS's Business, all of the representations and warranties made by Sellers were
believed to be accurate when made and all changes outside of the Ordinary Course
of Business will be brought to the attention of Buyer at or before the Effective
Date. Until the Effective Date, ICS will use, and the Sellers will cause ICS to
use, its best efforts to preserve the business of ICS intact, to keep available
the services of its present personnel, to preserve in full force and effect the
Contracts, agreements, instruments, leases, licenses, arrangements, and
understandings of ICS, and to preserve the goodwill of its suppliers, customers,

-----------------
Until the Effective Date, the Sellers will promptly advise Buyer in a
detailed written notice of any fact or occurrence or any pending or threatened
occurrence of which any of them obtains Knowledge and which (if existing and
known at the date of the execution of this Agreement) would have been required
to be set forth or disclosed in or pursuant to this Agreement, the ICS
Disclosure Schedule or an exhibit hereto, which (if existing and known at any
time prior to or at the Effective Date) would make the performance by any party
of a covenant contained in this Agreement impossible or make such performance
materially more difficult than in the absence of such fact or occurrence, or
which (if existing and known at the time of the Effective Date) would cause a
condition to any party's obligations under this Agreement not to be fully
satisfied.
6.04 Voting by Sellers.
-----------------
It is agreed and understood that until the Effective Date, the Sellers
shall not vote their shares in ICS for:
(a) Any merger, consolidation, reorganization, or other business combination

convertible into or exchangeable for any such interest;
(d) Any authorization of any class of capital stock of ICS;
(e) The amendment of the certificate of incorporation (or other
organizational document) of ICS; or
(f) Any proposition the effect of which is reasonably likely to inhibit,
restrict, or delay the consummation of the Share Purchase or any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or impair the contemplated benefits
to Buyer or the Sellers of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

extent notified by Buyer or the Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the
respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements
entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) give Buyer reasonable written
notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and

CONDITIONS TO OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER
The obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver at or prior to the
Closing Date (unless otherwise provided herein) of each of the following
conditions:
8.01 Accuracy of Representations and Warranties and Compliance With
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Covenants.
----
(a) All representations and warranties of the Sellers set forth in this
Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which they are a party, the ICS Disclosure
Schedule and any other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, shall
be accurate when made and, in addition, except as may be otherwise disclosed to
Buyer, shall be accurate as of the Effective Date; and
(b) As of the Closing, the Sellers shall have performed and complied with
all covenants and agreements and satisfied all conditions required to be
performed and complied with by them at or before such time by this Agreement.
8.02 Good Standing; Qualification to do Business.
------------------------------------------------
ICS shall have delivered to Buyer a certificate of good standing from the
State of Kentucky and any other jurisdiction in which it has qualified to do
business dated as of a date no earlier than five (5) days prior to the Closing
Date.
8.03 Minimum Net Working Capital.
------------------------------
(a) The Purchase Price is based upon ICS having a minimum of Net Working
Capital of $750,000 ("MINIMUM NET WORKING CAPITAL") computed as of December 31,
2007 by Buyer's auditors. The cash portion of the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted, if necessary, on the date that is ten (10) business days following
receipt by Buyer of the final audit report for ICS (as then owned by Buyer) for
the 2007 fiscal year then ended, but in no event later than April 15, 2008. The
audit report shall include an audited consolidated balance sheet for ICS
("CLOSING BALANCE SHEET") computed in accordance with GAAP, applied consistent
with past practices of ICS. If the Closing Balance Sheet reflects Net Working
Capital that is less than the Minimum Net Working Capital (the difference to be
referred to as the "SHORTFALL"), each of the Sellers shall pay to Buyer their
respective pro rata share of the Shortfall, dollar for dollar within fifteen
(15) Business Days of their receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet. In the event
the Closing Balance Sheet reflects Net Working Capital in excess of the Minimum
Net Working Capital, then Buyer will pay to the Sellers their respective pro
rata share of the excess, dollar for dollar, within fifteen (15) Business Days
of its receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet. "NET WORKING CAPITAL" shall mean
current assets minus current liabilities in accordance with GAAP. Further,
consistent with the provisions of Section 2.09(a), above, any local level taxes
(i.e, City of Louisville/Jefferson County, Kentucky) accrued by ICS on its
Closing Balance Sheet as a result of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, shall not
be taken into account as a liability for purposes of the Net Working Capital
calculation as provided for in this Section 8.03.
(b) If the Sellers do not agree with the Net Working Capital calculation
computed by the Buyer's auditors, the Sellers shall so inform the Buyer in
writing within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Sellers' receipt thereof,
such writing to set forth the objections of the Sellers in reasonable detail.
If the Sellers and the Buyer cannot reach agreement as to any disputed matter
relating to the Net Working Capital calculation within thirty (30) Business Days
after notification by the Sellers to the Buyer of a dispute, they shall
forthwith refer the disputed items to an accounting firm of recognized standing
in the United States and mutually agreeable to the Sellers and the Buyer for
resolution, with the understanding that such firm shall resolve all disputed
items within twenty (20) Business Days after such disputed items are referred to
it. If the Buyer and the Sellers are unable to agree on the choice of an
accounting firm, then PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP, of Louisville, Kentucky,
shall serve as the accounting firm. If PriceWaterhouse Coopers LLP is unwilling
to so serve, the Buyer and the Sellers shall within ten (10) Business Days each
select two (2) accounting firms of recognized standing within 150 miles of
Louisville, Kentucky, and the accounting firm shall be selected by lot (after
excluding their respective regular outside accounting firms). The decision of
any such accounting firm under this subparagraph (b) with respect to all
disputed matters relating to the Net Working Capital computation shall be deemed
final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer. Any
payments due pursuant to the decision of the accounting firm shall be made
within fifteen (15) Business Days of the parties' receipt of such firm's
decision. In addition, if the Sellers do not object to the Net Working Capital
calculation within the fifteen (15) Business Day period referred to above, the
Net Working Capital calculation as so prepared by Buyer's auditors shall be
deemed final and conclusive and binding upon the Sellers and the Buyer.
(c) The Sellers shall be entitled to have reasonable access to the books and
records of ICS and the work papers of the Buyer prepared specifically in
connection with the Net Working Capital calculation, and, upon reasonable prior
notice, shall be entitled to discuss such books and records and work papers with
the Buyer and those persons responsible for the preparation thereof.
(d) The Sellers and the Buyer shall pay their own respective costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the matters described in this Section 8.03,
------------
provided, however, that the fees and expenses of the accounting firm selected to
-------- -------
calculate the Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 8.03(b) shall be borne
---------------
entirely by the party whose calculation of the final Net Working Capital differs
by the greatest amount from the Net Working Capital determined by such
accounting firm.
8.04 Inventory.
---------
An itemized Inventory shall have been prepared on the Closing Balance Sheet
pursuant to Section 8.03 hereof, based upon physical observation by a
Representative of Buyer and a Representative of ICS.
8.05 Review of Proceedings.
-----------------------
All actions, Proceedings, instruments, and documents required to carry out
this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents to which ICS and the Sellers are a
party, the ICS Disclosure Schedule and any other certificate or document
