determination as to whether the Revenue Goal had been achieved as of
said date. Upon a determination that a payment under either or both of
Sections 1.2(c)(ii) or 1.2(c)(iii) are payable, Buyer shall promptly
remit the same to Seller. If Seller objects to the aforementioned
calculation within five (5) business days of Buyer providing him with

3.14 Investment Purpose. Seller is acquiring the HBE Shares for investment
and not with a view to the sale or distribution thereof, for his or her own
account and not on behalf of others and has not granted any other person any
right or option or any participation or beneficial interest in any of the HBE
Shares. Seller acknowledges his understanding that the HBE Shares are restricted
securities within the meaning of Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), and that the HBE Shares may not be sold, except pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act or in a transaction exempt from
registration under the Securities Act, and Seller acknowledges that he
understands the meaning and effect of such restriction. Seller is aware that no
federal or state regulatory agency or authority has passed upon the issuance of
the HBE Shares or the terms of the issuance or the accuracy or adequacy of any
material being provided to Seller and that the price of the HBE Shares was
negotiated between Buyer and Seller and does not
12
necessarily bear any relationship to the underlying assets or value of Parent.
Seller understands that an investment in HBE Shares involves a high degree of
risk.
At any time after any HBE Shares have been held for at least one year by
Seller, and provided that the Seller is not then and has not been during the
three months prior to the date of such request an "affiliate" of the Parent, on
the surrender to the Parent of the certificate representing such HBE Shares, a
stock power executed by the Seller, medallion signature guaranteed, a written
instruction letter and such other supporting documents as the Parent may
reasonably require, together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Parent
demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include
without limitation, a legal opinion from Seller's counsel that the sale of the
HBE Shares by Seller will be exempt from the registration requirements of
applicable securities laws, the Parent shall replace such surrendered
certificate with a certificate for a like number of shares, but absent any
legend to the effect that the HBE Shares are "restricted securities."
3.15 Authorization; Validity. This Agreement and each of the other
agreements, instruments and documents executed or to be executed by Seller
pursuant to this Agreement has been duly authorized and constitutes the valid
and legally binding obligations of Seller in accordance with its terms except as
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws
relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and subject also to general
principles of equity affecting the right to specific performance and injunctive
relief.
3.16 Authorization Approvals. The Company's Board of Directors has
authorized the Company to enter into this Agreement, and all other documents to
be executed pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement and minutes of the
meeting so attesting have been provided to Buyer by the Company's Secretary. No
authorization or approval of, or filing with, or compliance with any applicable
order, judgment, decree, statute, rule or regulation of, any court or
governmental authority, or approval, consent, release or action of any third
party, is required in connection with the execution and delivery by the Seller
of, or the performance or satisfaction of any agreement of the Seller contained
in or contemplated by this Agreement.
3.17 Disclosure. Neither this Agreement nor the schedules and exhibits to
this Agreement nor any other written certificate, statement or document
furnished or to be furnished by Seller in connection with the transactions
provided for in this Agreement contains or will contain any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits or will omit to state any material fact
13
necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein, in light
of the circumstances under which made, not misleading, and to the best of
Seller's knowledge and belief, all such material books, records, agreements,
documents, financial and operating data and other information of or relating to
the Company as Buyer has requested or may request has heretofore been or will be
made available to Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to
the best of Seller's knowledge, there has not occurred and does not exist in any
event, circumstance or development not disclosed to Buyer relating to the
Company (as contrasted with general industry, economic or business conditions)
which has materially adversely affected or in the future reasonably may, so far
as any Seller can now foresee, materially adversely affect the business,
operations or assets of the Company.
3.18 Opportunity to Meet with Management. Seller acknowledge that he has
had an opportunity to meet with and ask questions of Parent's management.

access to and has reviewed copies of the following (the "Financial Statements")

(a) The Company shall, and Seller shall cause the Company to, afford
to Buyer, its attorneys, accountants and other representatives, upon
reasonable request, access to all properties, books, records and other
documents of the Company, including
15
the right to make extracts therefrom or copies thereof, and shall furnish
Buyer with, or with copies of, all such agreements, documents and records,
financial and operating data and other information concerning the Company
as Buyer may reasonably request. Buyer shall hold in strict confidence and
shall not use or otherwise publicly disclose, and shall cause its officers,
attorneys, accountants and other representatives to hold in strict
confidence and not to use or publicly disclose, all information so
furnished or made available by the Company which the Company indicates in
writing in advance is confidential other than information which is or
becomes publicly available or otherwise in the public domain through no
fault of the Buyer or Parent. Should this Agreement be terminated or the
transactions contemplated hereby not be consummated for any reason, Buyer
shall, upon written request from Company, return all written information so
furnished and all copies thereof and extracts therefrom.
(b) The Company shall, and the Seller shall cause the Company to,
refrain from taking or omitting to take any action or entering into any
transaction which, had such action been taken or omitted or such
transaction entered into immediately prior to execution of this Agreement,
would have caused any of the representations, warranties or agreements of
the Seller or the Company in this Agreement to be untrue, incorrect or
inaccurate in any material respect as of the time of execution of this
Agreement or would cause any such representations, warranties or agreements
to be untrue, incorrect or inaccurate in any material respect as of the
time immediately following such action, omission or transaction or as of
the date of Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
except as otherwise set forth or provided in Seller Schedule 5.1(b), the
Company shall and the Seller shall cause the Company to (i) conduct its
business only in the usual, regular and ordinary course in the same manner
as heretofore, (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to preserve its
business, properties and assets, maintain its business organization intact,
keep available the services of its present officers and employees and
preserve its goodwill and existing relationships with customers, suppliers
and others having dealings with it, (iii) maintain its properties in
customary repair, good order and condition, reasonable use and wear and
tear excepted, (iv) maintain insurance on its properties and with respect
to the conduct of its business in amounts not less than
16
and of such kinds as are comparable to the insurance in effect on the date
of this Agreement, and (v) maintain its books, accounts and records in the
usual, regular and ordinary manner.
5.2 Adverse Circumstances.
(a) The Seller and the Company shall promptly notify Buyer, as soon as
any of them obtains knowledge, of any facts, circumstances or occurrences
which have adversely affected or might reasonably be expected to adversely
affect the business, properties, assets, financial condition or prospects
of the Company or which could or reasonably might be expected to cause any
of their representations, warranties or agreements in this Agreement to be
untrue, incorrect or inaccurate in any material respect.
(b) Should Buyer elect to consummate the Closing after receipt of any
notice pursuant to subsection 5.2(a), then, anything elsewhere in this
Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Buyer shall be deemed to have
waived any rights or claims which it might possess under this Agreement, or
otherwise, against the Seller or the Company with respect to the matters
expressly referred to (but only if and to the extent such matters are
adequately and properly referred to or disclosed) in such notice.

respect.

ARTICLE SEVEN
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES
7.1 Covenant Not to Compete.
(a) In order to induce Buyer to enter into and consummate the
transactions provided for in this Agreement, Seller hereby covenants and
agrees that during any period of Seller's employment by any of the Company,
Buyer or Parent, following the date of Closing, and during the period of
two (2) years following the date of termination of any such employment, and
except for such employment by Company, Buyer or Parent, he will not, (i)
without the prior written consent of Parent in each instance, directly or
indirectly, whether for himself or for any other person and whether as
proprietor, principal, stockholder, partner, agent, director, officer,
employee, consultant, independent contractor or in any other capacity,
engage in, or have any interest in any other business or other entity that
provides products and support for commercial security systems or other like
products of Company, Buyer, Parent or any subsidiary of the Parent; or (ii)
at any time after the Closing knowingly do any act which would impair the
value of the business, operations or assets of, or injure the goodwill or
reputation of, Buyer, Parent, any subsidiary of the Parent or the Company
or divert any of their business or employees unless such actions are
permitted by clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing restrictions,
nothing in the foregoing shall prevent Seller from accepting employment
with a manufacturer of products used in commercial security systems
provided, however, this shall not relieve Seller from the obligations
specified in the succeeding sentence. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Seller hereby covenants and agrees that during the two year
period beginning on the date of termination of employment with the Company,
Buyer or Parent, as the case may be, he will not solicit any business from
any person, firm, corporation or entity which was a customer of the Company
within the two year period prior to the Closing or a customer of Company,
Buyer or Parent during any period of his post-Closing employment by any
such party, nor will he hire any person who was an employee of the Company,
Buyer, Parent or any subsidiary of the Parent as of the date of Closing or
during the term of his employment.
20
(b) Seller agrees that each provision of subsection 7.1(a) is
reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer; that each such
provision, and the period or periods of time, broad geographical area and
type and scope of restrictions on his activities specified therein, are and
are intended to be divisible; that if any portion thereof (including any
sentence, clause or part) shall be held contrary to law or invalid or
unenforceable in any respect in any jurisdiction, or as to any one or more
periods of time, areas or business activities, or any part thereof, the
remaining provisions shall not be affected but shall remain in full force
and effect as to the other and remaining parts; and that any such invalid
or unenforceable provision shall be deemed, without further action on the
part of the parties hereto, modified, amended and limited to the least
extent necessary to render the same valid and enforceable in such
jurisdiction. Seller further recognizes and agrees that any violation of
his agreement in subsection 7.1(a) would cause such damages to Buyer as
would be irreparable and the exact amount of which would be impossible to
ascertain and that, for such reason, among others, Buyer shall be entitled,
as a matter of course, to injunctive relief from any court of competent
jurisdiction restraining any further violation. Such right to injunctive
relief shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in limitation of all
other rights and remedies which Buyer may possess.
7.2 Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement and the
date of Closing, the parties hereto shall from time to time, at the request of
any other party and without further consideration, do, execute and deliver, or
cause to be done, executed and delivered, all such further acts, things and
instruments as may be reasonably requested or required more effectively to
evidence and give effect to the transactions provided for in this Agreement.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties shall cooperate
with each other (i) in connection with the filing of the Company's tax returns
with respect to any period up to the Closing, and (ii) at the expense of the
requesting party (provided that the foregoing shall only apply to actual
out-of-pocket costs), in the furnishing of information, evidence, testimony and
other assistance in connection with any legal actions, proceedings or disputes
involving any of the parties based upon any contracts, agreements, arrangements
or other matters whether occurring prior or subsequent to the date of this
Agreement and the date of Closing.

3 (except for Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3(e), 3.4, 3.9, 3.11, 3.14 and 3.15
hereof) and those of Parent and Buyer contained in Article 4 hereof shall
survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect for two (2) years
thereafter. The representations and warranties of the Seller contained in
Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.9, 3.11, 3.14 and 3.15 hereof shall survive the
Closing and continue in full force and effect indefinitely, subject to any
applicable statutes of limitations.

(i) Shall each indemnify and hold the other free and harmless
from and against and shall reimburse the other for any and all claims,
liabilities, damages, losses, judgments, costs and expenses including
reasonable counsel fees and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
(the foregoing being hereinafter collectively referred to as
"damages") arising out of or resulting from any inaccuracy or
inadequacy in or breach or default of any of its or his
representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in, or in any
document or other instrument executed or delivered pursuant to or in
connection with, this Agreement.
(ii) Shall give the other written notice of any claim, demand,
action, suit or proceeding raised, brought, threatened, made or
commenced against it or the Company relating to any matter to which
the indemnification provisions of this Section 8.2 apply, and such
other party shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in
the settlement and defense thereof using counsel of its own choice.
Failure to give such notice shall not, however, affect the liability
of any other party under this Agreement unless such failure shall
materially adversely prejudice the
22
defense thereof by such other party. Nothing herein shall limit the
right of any party to settle any claim, demand, action, suit or
proceeding brought or threatened against it, provided, however, that
in any such event no other party shall be bound by the amount or terms
of any such settlement not consented to by it.
(b) Limitations on Indemnification Amount.
(i) Deductible. Seller shall have no liability for
indemnification with respect to claims under Section 8.2(a) until
the total amount of all damages with respect to such claims
exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) and then only for
the amount by which such damages exceed twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000). Parent and Buyer shall have no liability for
indemnification with respect to claims under Section 8.2(a) until
the total amount of all damages with respect to such claims
exceeds twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) and then only for
the amount by which such damages exceed twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000); provided, however, that the foregoing shall
not apply to the failure of Parent and Buyer to make payments or
distributions pursuant to Section 1.2(c) when and as required.
(ii) Aggregate Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the aggregate liability of Seller for damages
shall not exceed an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all
consideration actually paid to Seller pursuant to this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the aggregate
liability of Buyer and Parent for damages shall not exceed
$250,000; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply
with respect to the failure of Parent or Buyer to make payments
or distributions pursuant to Section 1.2(c).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2,
Seller's obligation to indemnify Buyer and Parent shall not apply to the
extent such loss is covered by any insurance the Company may have.
(d) The provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not be construed as a
waiver by any party of any other rights or remedies which it may possess,
whether under this Agreement, at law or in equity, arising out of or
resulting from any breach or default of or inaccuracy or inadequacy in any
other party's representations, warranties, covenants or agreements.
