The certificates representing the number of shares of Merger Stock shall contain a legend substantially as follows:

“THE SECURITIES WHICH ARE REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNTIL A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT THERETO IS DECLARED EFFECTIVE UNDER SUCH ACT, OR GENUTEC BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC. RECEIVES AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE HOLDER REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR GENUTEC BUSINESS SOLUTIONS, INC. THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH ACT IS AVAILABLE.”

ARTICLE II. MERGER CONSIDERATION

2.1 The Merger Consideration. On the Closing Date (defined below) and at the Effective Time of the Mergers, against delivery to GenuTec of one or more stock certificates evidencing the Subject Shares, as aforesaid, GenuTec shall pay the respective amounts of the total consideration, as described herein, to the Stockholder and to Ion (the “Merger Consideration”) in the aggregate amount of Thirteen Million Nine Hundred Sixty Five Thousand Dollars ($13,965,000). The Merger Consideration shall be payable in full on the Closing Date, as follows:

(a) Cash Payment. Six Million Nine Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,982,500) of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the Stockholder by

wire transfer of readily available funds to an account specified by Stockholder in writing prior to Closing (the “Cash Payment”).

(b) Merger Stock. Six Million Nine Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,982,500) of the Merger Consideration shall be paid to the Stockholder and Ion by delivery (i) to the Stockholder of Three Million Sixty Nine Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Five (3,069,375) shares of GenuTec Common Stock, and (ii) to Ion of Four Hundred Twenty One Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy Five (421,875) shares of GenuTec Common Stock (collectively, the “Merger Stock”). GenuTec shall guaranty to the Stockholder and Ion, in the manner provided below in Section 2.2 of this Agreement, that the total value of the Merger Stock to be delivered to Stockholder and Ion shall have a fair market value of not less than Six Million Nine Hundred Eighty Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($6,982,500) as at the “Share Valuation Date” (as defined), and the number of shares of Merger Stock shall be subject to post-closing adjustment, as provided below.

2.2 Adjustments to Merger Stock.

(a) Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following capitalized terms shall be defined as follows:

(i) “1934 Act Registration” shall mean (A) the registration of GenuTec as a reporting company under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), pursuant to an effective Form 10SB registration statement under the 1934 Act, and (B) the approval of the listing of shares of GenuTec Common Stock on a National Securities Exchange.

(ii) “IPO” shall mean an initial public offering of Common Stock of GenuTec to be traded on either The New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Exchange pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(iii) “National Securities Exchange” shall mean any one of The New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Exchange or the National Association of Securities Dealers Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “NASD OTC-BB®”).

(iv) “Public Liquidity Event” shall mean either (i) an IPO, or (ii) a 1934 Act Registration, whereby GenuTec shall become a registered reporting company under the 1934 Act and have its shares of Common Stock approved for listing on a National Securities Exchange.

(v) Share Valuation Date” shall mean that date which shall be twelve (12) months from the later to occur of (x) the date that GenuTec shall consummate an IPO, or (y) the date that GenuTec shall effect a 1934 Act Registration and become a reporting company registered under the 1934 Act.

(vi) “VWAP” shall mean volume weighted average price of a share of GenuTec Common Stock, as traded on a National Securities Exchange, for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Share Valuation Date.

(b) Increase to Number of Shares of Merger Stock. In the event that, as at the Share Valuation Date, the VWAP shall be less than the $2.00 per share, then and in such event: (i) the aggregate number of shares of Merger Stock to which the Stockholder shall be entitled to receive under this Agreement shall be increased to that number of shares of GenuTec Common Stock as shall equal to the result determined by dividing (A) Six Million One Hundred and Thirty Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($6,138,750) by (B) such VWAP; and (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Merger Stock to which Ion shall be entitled to receive under this Agreement shall be increased to that number of shares of GenuTec Common Stock as shall equal to the result determined by dividing (A) Eight Hundred Forty Three Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($843,750) by (B) such VWAP. The total number of additional shares of Merger Stock to be issued: (x) to the Stockholder shall be equal to the result of the calculation set forth in clause (i) above, less the 3,069,375 shares of Merger Stock issued to Stockholder at the Effective Time of the Mergers, and (y) to Ion shall be equal to the result of the calculation set forth in clause (ii) above, less the 421,875 shares of Merger Stock issued at the Effective Time of the Mergers (collectively the “Additional Merger Stock”).

By way of example of the application of the provisions of this Section 2.2(b), if the VWAP of a share of GenuTec Common Stock, as traded on a National Securities Exchange, for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Share Valuation Date shall be $0.75 per share, then and in such event the aggregate number of shares of Merger Stock payable under this Agreement shall be 9,310,000 shares of GenuTec Common Stock (the 3,069,375 shares of Merger Stock issued to Stockholder and 421,875 shares of Merger Stock issued to Ion on the Closing Date plus a total of 5,818,750 shares of Additional Merger Stock, of which 5,115,625 shares shall be issued to the Stockholder and 703,125 shares to Ion) for an equity consideration of GenuTec common stock equal to a value of $6,982,500. In addition, in lieu of any portion of the Additional Merger Stock issued in excess of the 3,069,375 shares of the original Merger Stock issued to Stockholder or the 421,875 shares of the original Merger Stock issued to Ion, GenuTec may (subject at all times to the provisions of Section 2.2(d) below) reduce the aggregate number of shares of Additional Merger Stock required to be delivered to Stockholder or Ion hereunder by paying to the Stockholder or Ion, cash for each share of the Additional Merger Stock at a value equal to the VWAP of the GenuTec Common Stock as traded on a National Securities Exchange for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Share Valuation Date, such that Stockholder and Ion combined will receive consideration consisting of the Merger Stock and cash in lieu of all or any Additional Merger Stock equal to a total value $6,982,500. In such event, under the foregoing example and assuming GenuTec elected to make cash payments in lieu of all shares of Additional Merger Stock, GenuTec would issue to the Stockholder 3,069,375 shares of Merger Stock (having a value at $0.75 per share of $2,302,031.20) and Ion 421,875 of Merger Stock (having a value at $0.75 per share of $316,406.25) and pay to the Stockholder the sum of $3,836,718.80 in cash and to Ion the sum of $527,343.75 in cash.

(c) Delivery of Additional Merger Stock Stock certificates evidencing the number of shares of Additional Merger Stock shall be issued and delivered to the Stockholder or

his designees on a date that shall be not later than thirty (30) days following the Share Valuation Date.

(d) Payment of Cash in lieu of Additional Merger Stock. GenuTec expects to discharge its obligations pursuant to this Section 2.2 by issuing the appropriate number of shares of Additional Merger Stock to the Stockholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the VWAP of a share of GenuTec Common Stock, as traded on a National Securities Exchange, for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to the Share Valuation Date shall be less than $1.00 per share GenuTec shall have the option (but not the obligation) to pay to the Stockholder and Ion cash in lieu of any or all shares of Additional Merger Stock owed to Stockholder and Ion in excess of the 3,069,375 shares and 421,875 shares, respectively owed to Stockholder and Ion, that is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b) provided that Stockholder and Ion will receive consideration consisting of the Merger Stock and cash equal to a total value of at least $6,982,500. However, any such cash payment shall be subject to GenuTec having adequate working capital (after giving effect to any such payment) and shall be further subject to the prior written consent of any senior lender and (if applicable) other holder of debt securities of GenuTec. In the event GenuTec does not have adequate working capital to effect such payment and/or does not receive the prior written consent of its senior lender(s) or other holders of debt securities of GenuTec, then GenuTec shall be obligated to issue the Additional Merger Stock to the Stockholder and Ion as described in Section 2.2(b) such that Stockholder and Ion are able to effectively receive Merger Stock and Additional Merger Stock with a total combined value equal to $6,982,500.

(e) Consummation of Public Liquidity Event. GenuTec does hereby covenant, acknowledge and agree that a material inducement to the Stockholder and Ion to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby is the consummation by GenuTec of a Public Liquidity Event. The Parties hereto do further acknowledge and agree that GenuTec would be violating the United States securities laws if it failed to consummate such Public Liquidity Event, unless the board of directors of GenuTec elected to engage in a “going private” transaction in compliance with the requirements of Section 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Accordingly, GenuTec does hereby covenant and agree to use its best efforts to complete the audit of the Audited Financial Statements of the Company contemplated by Section 4.8 below and undertake to consummate a Public Liquidity Event by filing with the SEC, a Form 10SB registration statement as soon as is reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, and thereafter using its best efforts to cause the same to be declared effective by the SEC. In addition, GenuTec does further represent, warrant, covenant and agree that the board of directors of GenuTec shall not delay, modify or change its resolution to consummate a Public Liquidity Event or take any action or inaction that would delay or prevent consummation of such Public Liquidity Event, without in each instance the prior written consent and approval of the Stockholder. GenuTec does further acknowledge, covenant and agree that the Stockholder would have no adequate remedy at law should GenuTec breach any of its covenants and agreements contained in this Section 2.2(e). Accordingly, GenuTec agrees that, in addition to any remedy available to him at law, the Stockholder shall have an absolute right to apply to and receive from any court of competent jurisdiction such injunctive or other equitable relief (including specific performance) as may be available to effect compliance with the provisions of this Section 2.2(e).

(f) Mandatory Redemption. In the event that, following the Effective Time of the Mergers and prior to a date that shall be twelve (12) months following the Effective Time of the Mergers, GenuTec shall fail, for any reason, to consummate a Public Liquidity Event, then upon written notice by the Stockholder or Ion, GenuTec shall be obligated, on a date that shall be not later than twenty-four (24) months after the Effective Time of the Mergers (the “Mandatory Redemption Date”), to redeem and repurchase for cash (the “Mandatory Redemption Obligation”), all of Stockholder’s 3,069,375 shares and Ion’ 421,875 shares of Merger Stock then owned, at a redemption price of $2.00 per share (the “Mandatory Redemption Price”).

(g) Termination of Consulting Agreement. In the event that GenuTec shall fail or refuse to pay and perform its Mandatory Redemption Obligation to Stockholder on the Mandatory Redemption Date in accordance with Section 2.2(f) or shall fail to deliver to Stockholder any Additional Merger Stock as described in Section 2.2(b), in addition to any other remedy at law then available to him, the Stockholder (i) shall have the right to terminate his covenant not to compete set forth in Section 8.4 hereof and all other provision of such Section 8.4, (ii) the right to terminate the Consulting Agreement (described in Section 3.2(f) below) and (iii) shall receive from SALLC and/or GenuTec and/or SALLC’s or GenuTec’s Affiliates a paid up, royalty free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license to use, produce, copy, modify or exploit all Software and Proprietary Software (as such terms are defined in Section 4.19(a)) (collectively the “Software Programs”) currently used by the Company and/or after the Closing to be used by SALLC or GenuTec in any manner and for any purpose whatsoever, including the right of sale or sublicensing such Software Programs. The Parties agree that the Stockholder may retain in his possession after the Closing Date copies of the source code to any of the Software Programs, and in the event and to the extent that the Stockholder does not already have a copy of any of such source codes, GenuTec and/or SALLC shall deliver such source codes to Stockholder within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date. GenuTec and/or SALLC further agree to deliver to the Stockholder copies of any and all subsequent modifications and updates to the source codes for the Software Programs made after the Closing Date within thirty (30) days of such modification or update.

(h) Additional GenuTec Commitments. In addition to its covenants and agreements set forth above in this Section 2.2, GenuTec hereby further covenants and agrees to undertake to cause to be consummated at least one of the following events on or before the expiration of twenty-four (24) months from the Effective Time of the Mergers (each a “GenuTec Commitment” and collectively, the “GenuTec Commitments”):

(i) the completion of an IPO providing GenuTec with gross proceeds of at least $7.5 million at an initial per share offering price of not less than $3.00 per share; or

(ii) the listing of GenuTec Common Stock for trading on either the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq Stock Exchange, at a time when either (A) the Merger Stock and any Additional Merger Stock has been registered for resale under the 1933 Act, or (B) an applicable exemption from such registration requirements is otherwise available; or

(iii) the “active trading” of GenuTec Common Stock at a VWAP of $3.00 per share or more on any National Securities Exchange for thirty (30) days or more

(ii) Without the prior consent of GenuTec, for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, neither the Stockholder nor his spouse shall directly or indirectly, for himself or for any other person, firm, corporation, partnership, association or other entity: (i) attempt to employ or enter into any contractual arrangement with any employee or former employee of GenuTec, the Company or SALLC, unless such employee or former employee has not been employed by GenuTec, the Company or SALLC for a period in excess of nine months, and/or (ii) call on or solicit any of the actual or targeted prospective customers or clients of GenuTec, the Company or SALLC, nor shall the Stockholder make known the names and addresses of such customers or any information relating in any manner to the trade or business relationships with such customers.

(iii) Neither the Stockholder nor his spouse shall at any time divulge, communicate, use to the detriment of GenuTec, the Company or SALLC or for the benefit of any other person or persons, or misuse in any way, any Confidential Information pertaining to the Company. Any confidential information or data now known or hereafter acquired by the Stockholder with respect to GenuTec, the Company or SALLC shall be deemed a valuable, special and unique asset of GenuTec, the Company or SALLC (as applicable) that is received by the Stockholder or his spouse in confidence and as a fiduciary, and the Stockholder and his spouse shall remain a fiduciary to GenuTec, the Company or SALLC with respect to all of such information.

(b) Injunction. It is recognized and hereby acknowledged by the Parties hereto that a breach or violation by either the Stockholder or his spouse or Affiliates of any or all of the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 8.4 may cause irreparable harm and damage to GenuTec in a monetary amount which may be virtually impossible to ascertain. As a result, the

Stockholder recognizes and hereby acknowledges that GenuTec or its affected Affiliate(s) shall be entitled to an injunction from any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining and restraining any breach or violation of any or all of the covenants and agreements contained in this Section 8.4 by either the Stockholder, his spouse and/or his or her associates, Affiliates, partners or agents, either directly or indirectly, and that such right to injunction shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other rights or remedies GenuTec or its affected Affiliate(s) may possess hereunder, at law or in equity. Nothing contained in this Section 8.4 shall be construed to prevent GenuTec or its affected Affiliate(s) from seeking and recovering from the Stockholder monetary damages sustained by it or them as a result of any breach or violation by the Stockholder of any of the covenants or agreements contained herein.

8.5 Board of Directors of GenuTec. Within thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, GenuTec agrees to nominate and ensure the appointment of the Stockholder, subject to Stockholder’s acceptance, to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of GenuTec and each of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates, including but not limited to SALLC. In the event that the Stockholder shall be elected and shall accept to serve as a member of such Boards of Directors stated above, prior to his taking office, GenuTec shall have obtained a Director & Officer liability insurance policy (the “D&O Policy”) that shall include the Stockholder as a beneficiary, in the aggregate amount of $10,000,000 for each Board of Director position for GenuTec and/or each of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates. GenuTec will further undertake to provide in such D&O Policy coverage indemnifying the Stockholder in his capacity as an officer and/or Director of GenuTec and each of its Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates from any liability in the event the Stockholder shall exercise any one or more of his rights and remedies set forth in Section 2.2(g) of this Agreement as a result of GenuTec’s failure to comply with the Mandatory Redemption Obligation described in said Section 2.2(f), or GenuTec’s failure to deliver any Additional Merger Stock as described in Section 2.2(b). In the event SALLC or any other limited liability company that is a subsidiary and/or Affiliate of GenuTec is not organized and structured as such to have a Board of Directors in which to elect the Stockholder to serve as a member of such Board, GenuTec and/or the applicable limited liability company shall nominate and appoint the Stockholder as a Manager (as such term is defined in the applicable limited liability company’s operating agreement) of SALLC and/or any other limited liability company that is a subsidiary and/or Affiliate of GenuTec and an insurance policy shall be obtained for the Stockholder for serving as an LLC Manager of SALLC or any other subsidiary or Affiliate limited liability company with the same terms and provisions as the D&O Policy described above in this Section 8.5.

9.2 Indemnification for Taxes.

(a) The Stockholder hereby agrees to indemnify, jointly and severally, GenuTec and its Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Company (each herein sometimes referred to as an “Indemnified Taxpayer”) against, and agrees to protect, save and hold harmless each Indemnified Taxpayer from, any and all claims, damages, deficiencies and losses and all expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements (all herein referred to as “Losses”) resulting from:

(i) A final award and judgment granted to any taxing authority in a court of competent jurisdiction for (A) any Taxes of the Company allocable to any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or allocable to any period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date, and (B) any Taxes of the Company or any corporation that is or was a member of an Affiliated Group of which the Company was or is a member;

(ii) A claim by any taxing authority for any Taxes arising from or occasioned by the Mergers and sale of the Company’s Stock pursuant to this Agreement; or

(iii) Any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty or obligation set forth in this Article VIII.

(b) Subject to the resolution of any Tax contest pursuant to Section 9.2(c), upon notice from GenuTec to the Stockholder that an Indemnified Taxpayer is entitled to an indemnification payment for a Loss pursuant to Section 9.2(a), the Stockholder shall thereupon pay to the Indemnified Taxpayer an amount that, net of any Taxes imposed on the Indemnified Taxpayer with respect to such payment, will indemnify and hold the Indemnified Taxpayer harmless from such Loss.

(c) (i) If a claim shall be made by any taxing authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of an Indemnified Taxpayer, the Indemnified Taxpayer shall promptly notify the Stockholder in writing of such fact.

(ii) The Stockholder shall have the right and option (but not the obligation) to defend the Stockholder and/or the Indemnified Taxpayer against any claim made by any taxing authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of an Indemnified Taxpayer with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Taxpayer so long as the Indemnified Taxpayer is requested to pay the Tax claimed, the Stockholder will pay the Indemnified Taxpayer or the taxing authority, as appropriate, the full amount the Indemnified Taxpayer is required to pay.

(iii) The Indemnified Taxpayer shall not settle any claim made by any taxing authority that, if successful, would result in the indemnification of an Indemnified Taxpayer for which the Stockholder is liable to indemnify without, in each instance, the prior written approval of the Stockholder; provided, however, that if the Stockholder shall object to any proposed settlement, thereafter, if requested by the Indemnified Taxpayer, the Stockholder shall assume, at his sole cost and expense, the defense of any such tax claim. Each of the Indemnified Taxpayer and/or the Stockholder shall conduct the defense of the claim actively and diligently.

(iv) Stockholder shall not be entitled to settle or to contest any claim relating to Taxes if the settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the claim would be likely, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Taxpayer, to cause the liability for any Tax of the Indemnified Taxpayer or of any Affiliate of the Indemnified Taxpayer for any taxable period ending after the Closing Date to increase (including, without limitation, by making any election or taking any action having the effect of making any election, by deferring the inclusion of any amount in income or by accelerating the deduction of any amount or the claiming of any credit) or to take a position that, if applied to any taxable period ending after the Closing Date, would be adverse to the interest of the Indemnified Taxpayer or any Affiliate of the Indemnified Taxpayer.

(v) If the liability of the Indemnified Taxpayer with respect to the indemnified matter shall be established by the judgment or decree of a court that has become final or a binding settlement with an administrative agency having jurisdiction thereof that has become final, Stockholder shall promptly pay the Indemnified Taxpayer in full for all Losses or Tax claims assessed against the Indemnified Taxpayer. Conversely, the Indemnified Taxpayer shall promptly pay to Stockholder any refund received by or credited to the Indemnified Taxpayer with respect to the indemnified matter (together with any interest paid or credited thereon by the taxing authority and any recovery of legal fees from such taxing authority); provided, however, that the Indemnified Taxpayer shall have been indemnified and held harmless from all Losses by reason of any indemnification payments retained by the Indemnified Taxpayer net of any Taxes imposed on the Indemnified Taxpayers with respect to indemnification payments received by the Indemnified Taxpayer or with respect to the receipt of any payment from the taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Taxpayer shall not be required to make any payment hereunder before such time as Stockholder shall have made all payments or indemnities then due with respect to Indemnified Taxpayer pursuant to this Article VIII.

(vi) If any of the conditions in Section 9.2(c)(ii) above are or become unsatisfied, (A) the Indemnified Taxpayer may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Taxpayer need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, Stockholder in connection therewith), (B) Stockholder will reimburse the Indemnified Taxpayer promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the claim (including, without limitation, attorneys’, accountants’ and experts’ fees and disbursements) and (C) Stockholder will remain responsible for any Losses the Indemnified Taxpayer may suffer to the fullest extent provided in this Section 9.2.

(d) Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, the indemnification obligations of the Stockholder under this Article IX shall survive the Closing until the end of the applicable statutes of limitations. With respect to any indemnification obligation for any Tax for which a taxing authority asserts a claim within 90 days before the end of the applicable statute of limitations, an Indemnified Taxpayer shall be treated as having provided timely notice to Stockholder by providing written notice to Stockholder on or before the 90th day after the Indemnified Taxpayer’s receipt of a written assertion of the claim by the taxing authority.

(e) All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement

shall be paid by Stockholder when due, and Stockholder will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, GenuTec will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

ARTICLE X. MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Limitations on Liability.

(a) The respective representations, warranties, agreements, and indemnities of the Company, the Stockholder and Ion (solely with respect to Section 4.2), on one hand, and of GenuTec and SALLC, on the other hand, as set forth in this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall survive the Closing except as expressly provided in Section 10.1(b).

(b) The Stockholder and Ion (solely with respect to Section 4.2) shall have no liability under this Agreement to indemnify under Section 8.3(a) and GenuTec and SALLC shall have no liability under this Agreement to indemnify under Section 8.3(b) against breaches of the provisions of the representations and warranties set forth in Article IV (the “Warranty Indemnities”), unless the Stockholder, Ion (solely with respect to Section 4.2) or GenuTec required to provide indemnification hereunder (individually and collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”) receives notice in writing from the party or parties entitled to receive indemnification hereunder (individually and collectively, the “Indemnified Party”) of the Indemnified Party’s claim under said indemnity on or before that date which shall be eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date (the “Warranty Indemnity Period”); provided, however, that the Warranty Indemnity Period and limitations shall not apply to

(i) any breaches of or obligations under Article IX (with respect to Tax Matters) or breach of the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.7 (Employee Benefit Plans) or Section 4.17(b) (Environmental Matters) in which cases, such Covenant Indemnities and indemnities referred to in clause (i) above, shall survive for the applicable statutes of limitations.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify as and to the extent set forth in Section 8.3 and 10.1 of this Agreement only if the aggregate of all of their liability under such indemnity obligations exceeds $50,000; it being understood that such $50,000 figure is to serve as a “deductible” (for example, if the indemnity claims for which the Indemnifying Party would, but for the provisions of this Section 10.1(c), be liable aggregate $75,000, the Indemnifying Party would then only be liable for the $25,000 amount in excess of the $50,000 deductible).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party in connection with the Warranty Indemnities or Covenant Indemnities under this Agreement exceed the $6,982,500 Cash Payment, unless such breach or violation shall constitute fraud, in which event the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party shall be the entire $13,965,000 value of the Merger Consideration.

(e) All claims by any Indemnified Party shall be asserted and resolved in accordance with the following provisions. If any claim or demand for which an Indemnifying Party would be liable to an Indemnified Party is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by such third party, said Indemnified Party shall with reasonable promptness notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand stating with reasonable specificity the circumstances of the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party except to the extent the rights of the Indemnifying Party are actually prejudiced or to the extent that any applicable period set forth in Section 10.1(b) has expired without such notice being given. After receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice, then upon reasonable notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party, or upon the request of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall defend, manage and conduct any proceedings, negotiations or communications involving any claimant whose claim is the subject of the Indemnified Party’s notice to the Indemnifying Party as set forth above, and shall take all actions necessary, including but not limited to the posting of such bond or other security as may be required by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the claim to be defended against or resolved without expense or other action by the Indemnified Party. Upon request of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall, to the extent it may legally do so and to the extent that it is compensated in advance by the Indemnifying Party for any costs and expenses thereby incurred,

(i) take such action as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such action,

(ii) allow the Indemnifying Party to dispute such action in the name of the Indemnified Party and to conduct a defense to such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and

(iii) render to the Indemnifying Party all such assistance as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such dispute and defense.

10.2 Resolution of Disputes.

(a) In the event of any dispute with respect to or pursuant to this Agreement, including but not limited to (i) any dispute or claim in respect of any Warranty Indemnities, Covenant Indemnities, other indemnities referred to in Section 8.3 (or third party claims or otherwise for which GenuTec or the Company shall seek indemnification under this Agreement, the Exhibits and schedules hereto, and (ii) any dispute or claim for which the Stockholder shall seek indemnification under this Agreement, the Exhibits and schedules hereto, the Parties shall in good faith seek to settle or compromise such dispute or claim. In the event that any such dispute or claim cannot be settled or compromised, as aforesaid, within thirty (30) days of the other Party’s receipt of written notice of the subject claim, any Party may promptly thereafter submit the dispute to non-binding mediation before a mediator(s) in Los Angeles, California mutually acceptable to the Parties (the “Mediation”). If such dispute shall not be appropriately resolved to the satisfaction of all Parties as a result of the Mediation, then any Party may submit the dispute to final and binding arbitration before a three-person panel of arbitrators who shall be appointed in accordance with the then prevailing Rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “Arbitration”). In the event that it may reasonably be assumed that a dispute or claim shall not be settled or

compromised by Mediation, as aforesaid, or in the event that it may not reasonably be expected that the claiming Party wait thirty (30) days before submitted the dispute to Arbitration, then a dispute or claim may be submitted as foresaid immediately. Any such Arbitration shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. The panel of arbitrators shall be selected within sixty (60) days of submission of such dispute to Arbitration. The Parties shall use their collective best efforts to promptly schedule and conduct the hearings before such arbitrators, with a view toward concluding such arbitration proceedings not later than ninety (90) days from the first submission of the dispute to arbitration.

(b) In connection with any Arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.2, the arbitrators shall, as part of their award, allocate the fee of the Arbitration, including all fees of the arbitrators, the cost of any transcripts, and the Parties’ reasonable attorneys’ fees, based upon and taking into account the arbitrators’ determination of the merits and good faith of the Parties’ claims and defenses in the subject proceeding.

(c) The decision and award of the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the Parties hereto and shall be enforceable in any court of competent jurisdiction, including any court in the State of California. Any process or other papers hereunder may be served by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or by personal service, provided that a reasonable time for appearance or response is allowed.

10.3 Confidentiality.

(a) Prior to the Closing, GenuTec shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives and advisers to, hold in strict confidence all, and not divulge or disclose any, information of any kind concerning the Company and its business; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of confidence shall not apply to (i) information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by GenuTec or its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers, (ii) information that is or becomes available to GenuTec or its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by GenuTec or its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers and (iii) information that is required to be disclosed by GenuTec or its Affiliates or any of its or their employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers as a result of any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority; and provided further that GenuTec promptly shall notify the Company of any disclosure pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 10.3(a); and, provided, further, that the foregoing obligation of confidence shall not apply to the furnishing of information by GenuTec in bona fide discussions or negotiations with prospective lenders.

(b) The Company and the Stockholder shall, and shall cause its or his Affiliates and their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel and other representatives and advisers to, hold in strict confidence all, and not divulge or disclose any, information of any kind concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Stockholder or their respective businesses; provided, however, that the foregoing obligation of confidence shall not apply to (i) information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a

result of a disclosure by the Company and the Stockholder or its or his Affiliates or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers, (ii) information that is or becomes available to the Company and the Stockholder or its or his Affiliates or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers after the Closing on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure by the Company and the Stockholder or its or his Affiliates or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers and (iii) information that is required to be disclosed by the Company and the Stockholder or its or his Affiliates or any of their respective employees, agents, accountants, legal counsel or other representatives or advisers as a result of any applicable law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority; and provided further that the Company shall promptly shall notify GenuTec of any disclosure pursuant to clause (iii) of this Section 10.3(b).

Any provision of this Agreement which contemplates performance or the existence of obligations after the Closing Date, and any and all representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the execution and delivery of the instruments executed at the Closing, but shall expressly survive Closing and shall be binding upon the Party or Parties obligated thereby in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, subject to any limitations expressly set forth in this Agreement.

10.14 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any suit or other legal proceeding is brought for the enforcement of any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree that the prevailing Party or parties shall be entitled to recover from the other Party or parties upon final judgment on the merits reasonable attorneys’ fees (and sales taxes thereon, if any), including attorneys’ fees for any appeal, and costs incurred in bringing such suit or proceeding.

Prior to the Closing, the risk of loss of damage to, or destruction of, any and all of the Company’s assets, including without limitation the Properties, shall remain with the Company, and the legal doctrine known as the “Doctrine of Equitable Conversion” shall not be applicable to this Agreement or to any of the transactions contemplated hereby.
