A.
“Xxxxxxxx in Excess of Costs and Estimated Earnings” means the current liability
as of the Closing Date, as properly recorded on Seller’s balance sheet in
accordance with GAAP, representing the amount, in the aggregate, invoiced to
customers but not yet earned, as determined in accordance with

determined using Seller’s estimating and costing methods (which shall be
consistent with and in accordance with GAAP) and shall be determined without
consideration or regard for any operations, events, acts,

On the

Closing Date. During such preparation period, Seller shall have consulted with
Buyer periodically regarding its progress and results, and Buyer, at its
request, shall have been entitled from time to time to observe and review
Seller’s preparation of such financial statements and supporting documentation.
After such financial statements and documents shall have been provided to Buyer,

Price at Closing. In the case of (iii), no adjustment to the Purchase Price
shall be made.
3.2.3. Payment of Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable to Seller as follows
(collectively, the “Closing Payment”):
(a) At
Closing, but subject to the provisions, terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including Section 3.2.2 above, a payment in immediately available funds of

(b) The

or other third parties. Individual retainage amounts described in ‘(i)” above,
net of (subtracting) corresponding individual retainage amounts described in

Amounts.” To the extent that any such individual Net Retainage Amounts with
respect to individual Transferred Projects (other than any and all retainage
amounts with respect to the Goodby’s Creek project/corresponding Assumed
Contract, which are transferred hereby in their entirety by Seller to
Buyer as an Asset) have not been previously collected by or paid or transferred
to Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller those individual Net Retainage Amounts
under specific Assumed Contracts at Closing, but only with respect to those
Transferred Projects/Assumed Contracts for which Buyer has received from Seller
a Comfort Letter in the form of Exhibit D hereto with no qualifications or
exceptions to the statements therein and with no negative indications as to
project status, executed and delivered by such project owner (“Comfort Letter”),
and only after receipt of such Comfort Letter. Any such payment by Buyer to
Seller of such Net Retainage Amounts shall, with respect to any specific
Transferred Project Net Retainage Amount, be due promptly after Buyer’s receipt
of such corresponding Comfort Letter. The Parties acknowledge and agree that
with respect to any Net Retainage Amount held at Closing pursuant to any Assumed
Contract with respect to which Buyer has not received such corresponding Comfort
Letter, Buyer shall have no obligation to pay to Seller any amount of any such
retainage, until and only if and after Buyer has received any such corresponding
Comfort Letter.

exchange for the access to facilities and personnel and support services
described in Section 8.12 below, Buyer shall pay to Seller on the Closing Date
an additional amount of $60,000.

Liabilities. On and as of the Closing Date, subject to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, and in consideration for the sale and
transfer of the Assets, Buyer is assuming only the Assumed
Liabilities.
3.4 Excluded
Liabilities. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that
Seller is retaining the Excluded Liabilities, and Seller shall have the sole
responsibility, obligation and liability to pay, discharge and perform all
Excluded Liabilities. SELLER
AND SHAREHOLDER EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT OTHER THAN THE ASSUMED
LIABILITIES BUYER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO DISCHARGE, PAY,
SUFFER, OR INCUR ANY OBLIGATION, INDEBTEDNESS, LOSS, CLAIM OR LIABILITY OF THE
SELLER OR RELATED TO THE BUSINESS. The Parties further acknowledge and
agree that nothing in this Agreement or otherwise is intended to, nor should it
be deemed or construed to, imply that Buyer is assuming or is accepting
responsibility for any liability of any nature whatsoever, with the sole
exception of the Assumed Liabilities. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Seller and Shareholder acknowledge and agree that Seller and/or
Shareholder retain sole responsibility and liability to pay and
discharge, and that Seller and/or Shareholder shall pay and discharge when due
all (i) Indebtedness of the Seller or related to the Business; (ii) all Working

OF
SELLER AND THE SHAREHOLDER
As a
material inducement to Buyer and OMGI to enter into this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each of Seller and Shareholder
jointly and severally represents and warrants, to the best of their respective
Knowledge (and all of the following representations and warranties are qualified
accordingly), the following to Buyer and to OMGI:
4.1 Organization, Qualification
and Corporate Power. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly
existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida. Seller
has full corporate power and authority to carry on its businesses and to own and
use the properties and assets owned and used by

includes a list of all jurisdictions in which Seller conducts business or owns
properties or assets.
4.2 Authorization of
Transaction. Seller has full corporate power and authority and
the Shareholder has full right and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby to which it is a party
and to perform its obligations hereunder and there under. Without limiting the
generality- of the
foregoing, the board of directors and Shareholder of Seller have duly authorized
and approved the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other agreements contemplated herein to which it is a party, and the
transactions contemplated herein and therein. This Agreement and the other
agreements contemplated hereby to which Seller or Shareholder is a party
constitute the valid and legally binding obligations of Seller and Shareholder,
enforceable against them in accordance with their respective terms, except as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, similar laws of debtor relief and
general principles of equity.
4.3 Non-contravention. Except
as disclosed on Schedule 4.3, neither
the execution, the delivery nor the performance of this Agreement or the other
agreements contemplated hereby, nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, will violate, conflict with, result in a breach
of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any
Person the right to accelerate, terminate, modify, or cancel, or require any
authorization, consent, approval, execution or other action by or notice to any
third party under, (i) the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or other organic
documents of Seller, (ii) any contract, lease, sublease, license, sublicense,
franchise, Permit, Environmental Permit, indenture, agreement, instrument of
Indebtedness, Encumbrance, or other arrangement by which Seller (or any of its
properties or assets) or Shareholder is bound or affected, or (iii) any law,
statute, Environmental Law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree,
stipulation, injunction, charge or other restriction, to which Seller or any of
its assets or properties, or Shareholder, is subject.
4.4 Governmental
Consent. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.4, neither
Seller nor Shareholder is required to make any declaration to or registration or
filing with any Person, or to obtain any Permit, in connection with the
execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, neither Seller nor Buyer has any obligations or responsibilities
under or pursuant to the federal Workers Adjustment, Retraining, and
Notification Act, or any state counterpart thereof (the “WARN
Act”).
4.5 Stock Ownership; Other
Interests. Set forth on Schedule 4.5 is a
true, correct and complete list of all classes of capital stock of Seller,
including common and preferred and voting and non-voting, and the number of
shares in each class and the number of shares of each class owned by the
Shareholder. All of the issued and outstanding shares of stock of
Seller have been duly authorized, are validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable, and are owned, beneficially and of record, by the Shareholder as
shown on Schedule
4.5 free and clear of any Encumbrances. Seller does not,
directly or indirectly, beneficially or of record, own or have any right to
acquire an equity interest in any Person. Except as set forth on
Schedule 4.5,
Seller has not issued any debt securities.
4.6 Financial
Statements. Seller has furnished Buyer with the following
financial statements of Seller, which are or shall be attached hereto as Schedule 4.6
(collectively, the “Financial
Statements”):
(i) the
unaudited (and the extent available, audited) balance sheets of Seller as of
December 31, 2007 (the “Latest Balance Sheet”), and for each interim quarterly
period, and related statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholder
equity for the periods then ended, including all supporting documentation,
together with the same or acceptable substitutes for the period January 1, 2008
to the Closing Date;
(ii) the
audited balance sheets of Seller as of December 31, 2004, 2005, and 2006, and
the related statements of income, cash flows and changes in shareholder’s equity
for the periods then ended;
(iii) the
financial statements and supporting documentation referenced in Section 3.2.2
above; and
(iv) the
financial statements and supporting documentation referenced in Section 4.9
below.
The
Financial Statements (including in all cases any notes thereto) fairly present
the financial condition and results of operations of Seller as of the times and
for the periods referred to therein, and have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP, consistently applied throughout the periods indicated, subject in the case
of interim and unaudited financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments
(none of which are material). The Financial Statements are accurate
and complete in all material respects and are consistent with the information in
Seller’s books and records (which, in turn, are accurate and complete in all
material respects).
Since the
date of the Latest Balance Sheet and since the date that Seller’s last audited
financial statements were issued, no event, condition or circumstance has
occurred, arisen or existed that requires or required, as the case may be,
Seller to (i) eliminate profits previously recognized for accounting purposes by
Seller or (ii) adjust downward the future profits to be recognized for
accounting purposes by Seller, with respect to any fixed-priced, lump
sum or guaranteed fixed price contract, or any other contract which
has a fixed revenue component (including but not limited to management fees or
bonus or penalty clauses), in either case in order to comply with GAAP
(including the percentage of completion method of accounting) and involving an
amount exceeding $25,000 in the aggregate.
4.7 Indebtedness, Working
Capital Liabilities; Undisclosed Liabilities. Set forth on
Schedule 4.7(a)
is a list of (a) all Indebtedness and Working Capital Liabilities (including,
without limitation, the payee, the principal balance and all accrued interest,
prepayment penalties or other obligations required to be paid to extinguish such
Indebtedness and Working Capital Liabilities on the Closing Date) of Seller or
related to the Assets or Business, and which are outstanding as of the Closing
Date, and (b) all Encumbrances related to such Indebtedness or to any of the
Assets, all of which have been discharged and released as of the Closing Date.
Seller has no other material liabilities or obligations (whether absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, or due or to become due) except for
liabilities and obligations set forth in Schedule 4.7(b) or in
the Latest Balance Sheet. All Indebtedness, Working Liabilities, and Taxes of
the Seller or related to the Business have been paid as of the Closing Date, or,
if not due then, shall be paid by Seller when due.
4.8 Inventory. The
amounts shown for inventories on the Financial Statements were determined in
accordance with the valuation principles set forth on Schedule 4.8 and in
accordance with GAAP. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.8, the
value of obsolete, damaged or excess inventory and of inventory below standard
quality has been written down to net realizable value on the Latest Balance
Sheet or adequate reserves have been provided therefor, and the inventories are
carried on the Latest Balance Sheet at the lower of cost or market value. Except
as expressly set forth herein, all inventory included in the Assets is being
transferred by Seller to Buyer on an “AS IS WHERE IS BASIS,” with
all faults and defects whatsoever. Other than the representations and warranties
made by Seller and Shareholder herein, neither makes any other representations
or warranties as to condition, value or otherwise of inventory and hereby
disclaims all other representations and warranties with respect thereto, whether
express or implied, and specifically disclaims THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTUCULAR PURPOSE.
4.9 Recent
Events. Excepts as set forth on Schedule 4.9, since
December 31, 2007, (i) there has not been any Material Adverse Change; (ii)
Seller has not sold, leased, transferred, assigned or otherwise Encumbered any
of the Assets; (iii) no Person has accelerated, terminated, modified, or
canceled any Indebtedness, contract, lease, sublease, license, or sublicense (or
series of related contracts, leases, subleases, licenses, and sublicenses)

the parties acknowledge and agree that such obligations of Seller and
Shareholder shall not extend to Environmental Claims in respect of environmental
conditions on or under the property leased under the Hill Street Lease, or on or
under property on which Transferred Projects are being conducted as of the
Closing Date, to the extent those conditions are (i) attributable to the
operations of (a) previous owners, operators or lessees of any such property or
(b) previous contractors, subcontractors or suppliers on any such property, that
are and were in all cases not affiliated with, did not work for or with, and
were not directly or indirectly retained by either Seller or Shareholder, and
(ii) are not attributable to the operations of Seller or Shareholder. The Seller
and Shareholder shall not be liable under Section 7.1 until the Buyer Covered
Persons have first suffered, sustained or incurred aggregate Claims,
Environmental Claims and Losses relating to such matters in excess of $25,000 in
the aggregate, at which point Seller and Shareholder shall be liable to
indemnify the Buyer Covered Persons and hold them harmless from and against such
$25,000, and all other such Claims, Environmental Claims and Losses in excess of
the $25,000 basket.
7.2.2 Offset. To
the extent any portion of the Purchase Price remains unpaid, Seller’s and the
Shareholder’ obligations and liabilities under Section 7.1 shall be offset
against such remaining Purchase Price until it has been fully offset, after
which time, Seller and the Shareholder shall pay in cash to Buyer Covered
Persons any additional amounts they from time to time may be obligated to pay
under Section 7.1.
7.3 Indemnification by
Buyer. Subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.4, Buyer and OMGI jointly and
severally hereby releases and discharges and shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Seller and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, controlling
persons, including the Shareholder, lenders, insures, agents and representatives
and their respective successors and assigns (the “Seller Covered Persons”) from
and against any Claims, Environmental Claims and Losses constituting, arising
out of, relating to, or attributable to (i) any Assumed Liability, (ii) any
breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in this Agreement;
and (iii) any breach of any covenant of Buyer set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that
Buyer’s and OMGI’s indemnification obligations under this Section 7.3 shall not
apply to any Claims, Environmental Claims or Losses arising from, out of or in
any manner connected with any Claims, Environmental Claims or Losses
for which any Buyer Covered Person may be entitled to indemnity pursuant to
Section 7.1 above.
7.4 Certain Limits on
Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer and OMGI shall not be liable
under Section 7.3 until the Seller Covered Persons have first suffered,
sustained or incurred aggregate Claims, Environmental Claims, and Losses
relating to such matters in excess of $25,000 in the aggregate, at which point
Buyer and OMGI shall be liable to indemnify the Seller Covered Persons and hold
them harmless from and against such $25,000, and all other such Claims,
Environmental Claims and Losses in excess of the $25,000 basket
amount.
7.5 Matters Involving Third
Parties. If any third party (including, without limitation,
any Taxing authority) shall make or assert a Claim against any Party (the "Indemnified Party")
with respect to any matter which may give rise to a claim for indemnification
against any other Party (the "Indemnifying Party")
under this Article 7, then the Indemnified Party shall notify each Indemnifying
Party thereof promptly; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the
Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the
Indemnifying Party from any liability or obligation under this Agreement unless
(and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is damaged or prejudiced
thereby. In the case of any such Claim pursuant to which only the recovery of a
sum of money is being sought and the Indemnifying Party (i) enters into an
agreement with the Indemnified Party (in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) pursuant to which the Indemnifying Party
agrees to be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights other than the
right to be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party) for all Losses
relating to such Claim and unconditionally guarantees the payment and
performance of any Loss which may arise with respect to such Claim or the facts
giving rise to such Claim for indemnification, and (ii) furnishes the
Indemnified Party with evidence that the Indemnifying Party, in the Indemnified
Party's reasonable judgment, is and will be able to satisfy any such Claim, the
Indemnifying Party may, by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party,
assume the defense thereof. In such case, (A) the Indemnifying Party will defend
the Indemnified Party against such matter with counsel of its choice
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and (B) the Indemnified Party may retain
separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense (except that the Indemnifying
Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel to
the Indemnified Party incurred prior to the date upon which the Indemnifying
Party effectively assumes control of such defense). In the event that the
Indemnifying Party is precluded from assuming control of the defense of a Claim
pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.5, the Indemnifying Party may retain
separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense to participate in such defense
and, in any event the Indemnified Party shall (i) provide the Indemnifying Party
with all material information requested by such party relating to the defense of
such Claim, (ii) confer with the Indemnifying Party as to the most
cost-effective manner in which to defend such Claim and (iii) use its reasonable
efforts to minimize the cost of defending such Claim. The Indemnified Party will
not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with
respect to such matter without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party
(not to be withheld unreasonably), and the Indemnifying Party will not consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to such
matter without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld
unreasonably).

CERTAIN
POST-CLOSING COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
8.1 Tax Allocation. The
Parties have agreed upon the allocation of the Purchase Price among the Assets
using the allocation method required by Section 1060 of the Code and such
allocation is set forth in Exhibit F
hereto. The Parties agree to report the federal, state and local tax
consequences of the transactions contemplated herein in a manner consistent with
such allocation and to not take any position inconsistent with such allocation
in any tax return, refund claim, litigation, investigation or
otherwise.
8.2 Transfer
Taxes. Any and all transfer Taxes and fees imposed as a result
of the transactions contemplated hereby (which for clarity, the Parties
acknowledge and agree do not include income, capital gains or similar Taxes of
Seller or Shareholder), including, without limitation, fees payable in
connection with “stamping” or other public recordation or notification of
documents or instruments, shall be paid in full by Buyer. If
applicable, Seller shall provide to Buyer such properly completed resale
exemption and similar certificates or instruments as are necessary to claim
available Tax exemptions under applicable law.
8.3 Payroll
Taxes. Seller shall (and the Shareholder shall cause Seller
to) make a clean cut-off of payroll and payroll Tax reporting with respect to
Transferred Employees, and shall pay over to appropriate federal, state and
local governmental or quasi-governmental authorities those amounts of such Taxes
respectively withheld or required to be withheld for any and all periods ending
on or prior to the Closing Date. Seller also shall issue by the date(s)
proscribed by applicable law (including the Code) Forms W-2 for wages and
salaries paid through the Closing Date.
8.4 Certain Provisions Related
to Consents.
(a) To the
extent that any Assumed Contract, Permit or Environmental Permit is not capable
of being transferred by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement without the
consent of a third party (including a governmental entity), and such consent is
not obtained prior to Closing, or if such transfer or attempted transfer would
constitute a breach or a violation of any law, nothing in this Agreement will
constitute a transfer or an attempted transfer thereof. In the event that any
such consent is not obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall (i)
provide to Buyer the benefits of the applicable Assumed Contract, Permit or
Environmental Permit, (ii) cooperate in any reasonable and lawful arrangement
designed to provide such benefits to Buyer, and (iii) enforce at the request and
expense of Buyer and for the account of Buyer, any rights of Seller arising from
any such Assumed Contract (including the right to elect to terminate such
Assumed Contract in accordance with the terms thereof upon the request of
Buyer). If any Permit or Environmental Permit required for the operation of the
Business or the ownership or use of the Assets or the Real Property is not
transferred to Buyer at Closing, Seller authorizes (to the extent permitted by
law) Buyer to operate under any such Permit until the necessary consent to
transfer or a new Permit or Environmental Permit is obtained.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing: If at the Closing Date there are any
required consents to the assignment of any Assumed Contracts to Buyer, that have
not yet been obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect) as of the
Closing Date, in the case of each Assumed Contract as to which such consents
were not obtained (or otherwise are not in full force and effect), Seller shall
continue its reasonable efforts to obtain the consents. Following the Closing,
the Parties shall use their reasonable efforts, and cooperate with each other,
to obtain the consents relating to each such Assumed Contract as quickly as
practicable. Once any such consent has been obtained, the parties will enter an
Assignment and Assumption Agreement in form of Exhibit A hereto with
respect to each such Assumed Contract, with the date of assignment and
assumption thereof being the date the related consent to assignment is obtained;
and
(i) Until
assigned to Buyer, Seller shall hold the rights in all such Assumed Contracts in
trust for Buyer, in order that the full value of the rights and interests in all
such Assumed Contracts may be realized by and for the benefit of Buyer on a
current basis. Seller shall, at the request and expense and under the direction
of Buyer, in the name of Seller or otherwise as Buyer may specify, take all such
reasonable action and do or cause to be done all such reasonable things as are,
in the reasonable opinion of Buyer, necessary or proper in order that the
obligations of Seller there under may be performed in such manner that the value
of such rights and interests is fully preserved and inures to the benefit of
Buyer, and that the collection of any monies due and payable and to become due
and payable to Buyer in and under the rights are received by Buyer. Buyer shall
use its reasonable efforts to assist Seller in performing its obligations under
this paragraph. Seller shall promptly pay over to Buyer all monies collected by
or paid to Seller in respect of every such right with respect to such Assumed
Contracts. Subject in all cases to the provisions of this Section 8.4 and the
other terms and conditions of this Agreement, while Seller is holding such
rights and interests in such Assumed Contracts in trust for Buyer pending the
receipt of the required consents, Buyer shall act as a subcontractor to Seller
in the performance of Assumed Liabilities (only) under such Assumed Contracts;
provided that the Parties understand and agree that no terms or conditions shall
be implied or deemed to apply by virtue of such relationship, with the sole
exception of the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement.
8.5
|
Post-Closing
Assistance. In case at any time after the Closing any
further action is reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out the
purposes of this Agreement and to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the
Parties will take such further action (including, without limitation, the
execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any
other Party reasonably may request. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Seller and Shareholder will cooperate with Buyer and OMGI in
the provision of any and all information requested by Buyer or OMGI in
connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, or (ii) the
filing or provision of financial or other information with or to the
federal Securities and Exchange Commission or other authorities, and
filings with any such authority that contain any such
information.

8.6
Seller and Shareholder
Confidentiality.
8.6.1 Information Concerning the
Parties, the Assets, the Business. After the Closing, Seller and the
Shareholder shall keep confidential and not disclose to any third party any and
all information regarding (i) Buyer, or any of its affiliates (including,
without limitation, the terms, conditions and existence of this Agreement and
the agreements referenced herein); (ii) the Business (both as conducted prior to
and after the Closing Date); or (iii) the Assets. The foregoing notwithstanding,
none of the provisions in this Section 8.6.1 shall apply to any information
which (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of
any breach of this Section 8.6.1; or (ii) first becomes available to Seller or
Shareholder after the Closing Date on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than Buyer or any affiliates of Buyer (provided that, to the best of the
Knowledge of Seller or Shareholder, such source is not bound by a
confidentiality agreement with, or other legal or fiduciary obligation to, any
of Buyer or any of its affiliates). Moreover, these restrictions shall not apply
to Shareholder in the performance of his obligations under the Consulting
Services Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, provided
that disclosure of any such information by Shareholder is necessary for the
performance of any such obligations, is made solely for that purpose, and is not
more expansive than necessary for the performance of such
obligation.
8.6.2 Notice of Compulsory
Disclosure. In the event Seller or Shareholder is required to
disclose any confidential information pursuant to applicable law, such Seller or
Shareholder shall promptly notify Buyer in writing, which notification shall
include the nature of the legal requirement and the extent of the required
disclosure, and shall cooperate with Buyer to preserve the confidentiality of
such information consistent with applicable law.
8.7 Tax Return
Cooperation. Seller, the Shareholder, OMGI and Buyer shall
cooperate fully with each other and make available or cause to be made available
to each other in a timely fashion such Tax data, prior Tax Returns and filings
and other information as may be reasonably required for the preparation by
Buyer, OMGI, Seller or the Shareholder of any Tax Returns, elections, consents
or certificates required to be prepared and filed by any of them and in
connection with any audit or other examination by any Taxing authority, or
judicial or administrative proceeding relating to liability for Taxes including,
without limitation, sales taxes and sales tax audits. Each of Seller,
the Shareholder, OMGI and Buyer will retain and provide to the other Parties all
records and other information which may be relevant to any such Tax Return,
audit or examination, proceeding or determination, and will each provide the
other Parties with any final determination of any such audit or examination,
proceeding or determination that affects any amount required to be shown on any
Tax Return of any other Party for any period. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Seller and the Shareholder will retain copies of
all Tax Returns, supporting work schedules and other records relating to Tax
periods or portions thereof ending prior to or on the Closing Date.
8.8 Litigation
Support. In the event and for so long as any Party is actively
contesting or defending against any Claim in connection with (a) any transaction
contemplated under this Agreement or (b) any fact, situation, circumstance,
status, condition, activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident,
action, failure to act or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving
any Party, the other Parties will cooperate with the contesting or defending
Party and its counsel in such contest or defense, make available its personnel,
and provide such access to its books and records as may be necessary in
connection with the contest or defense, at the sole cost and expense of the
contesting or defending party.
8.9 Books and
Records. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall give Seller and
the Shareholder reasonable access to the Books and Records and the opportunity
to make copies thereof, at their expense, during normal business hours for
reasonable and lawful business purposes relating to pre-Closing events or
circumstances affecting Seller and the Shareholder and pertaining to the
Assets. Buyer shall keep the Books and Records safe and in good order
for a reasonable period after the Closing Date and, at their expense, for such
further periods as Seller or the Shareholder may reasonably request in writing;
provided, however, that Buyer may deliver any Books and Records to Seller and
the Shareholder at any time and shall have reasonable access
thereto.
8.10 Receivables; Certain
Payables. If any monies or other assets are received by Seller
or the Shareholder to which Buyer is entitled hereunder or that are included in
the Assets, Seller or the Shareholder shall hold such monies and assets so
received in trust for Buyer and shall account for and pay the same to Buyer
within 15 days after receipt. If any monies or other assets are
received by Buyer to which Seller is entitled hereunder or that are included in
Excluded Assets, Buyer shall hold such monies and assets so received in trust
for Seller and shall account for and pay the same to Seller within 15 days after
receipt. Further, if Buyer receives any invoices or similar instruments which
under the terms hereof are the responsibility of Seller to pay or discharge,
Buyer likewise shall hold and provide any such invoices or similar instruments
to Seller, and Seller shall pay all such items within terms. Likewise, if Seller
receives any invoice or similar instruments which under the terms hereof are the
responsibility of Buyer to pay or discharge, Seller shall hold and provide any
such invoices or similar instruments to Buyer, and Buyer shall pay all such
items within terms. Without limiting the generality hereof, (i) Buyer (in lieu
and satisfaction of any payment obligations of Buyer or OMGI under Section 3.2.4
above) shall promptly remit to Seller any payments it receives of retainage
amounts deducted from payments to Seller under any Assumed Contract prior to the
Closing Date; and (ii) Seller shall promptly remit to Buyer any payments it
receives of retainage amounts deducted from payments to Buyer under any Assumed
Contract on or after the Closing Date.
8.11 Non-competition. In
consideration of the mutual covenants and obligations set forth in this
Agreement, including, without limitations, the payment of $100,000 of the
Purchase Price:
8.11.1 Restrictions. For
a period of three (3) years beginning on the Closing Date, neither Seller nor
Shareholder shall (a) represent, act for, be employed by, engage in,
carry on, provide consulting services to (except as provided under the

financial interest in (directly or indirectly, individually, as a member of a
partnership or limited liability company, equity owner, stockholder, investor,
owner, officer, director, trustee, manager, employee, agent, representative,
associate or consultant), the Business (as conducted on and after the Closing
Date) or any other business which competes with any of the businesses or
operations of OMGI or of any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, including,
without limitation, the Buyer, (as such operations and businesses are generally
described on Schedule
8.11.1 hereto) within or in respect to the States of Florida or the
Caribbean region (which for purposes of clarification includes, without
limitation, the Bahamas) during such three (3) year period; or (b) directly or
indirectly, whether as a principal, agent, officer, director, employee,
consultant, independent contractor or otherwise, alone, in association with or
on behalf of any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization,
(1) solicit, sell, call upon, advise, do or attempt to do business with or
otherwise contact for a business purpose any customer with respect to the
Business (as conducted on and after the Closing Date), or (2) (I) hire or
attempt to hire any employee of Buyer (after giving effect to the Closing) or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, (II) encourage any such employee to
terminate his/her employment with Buyer (after giving effect to the Closing) or
any of its subsidiaries or affiliates, or (III) solicit, encourage or induce any
customer of Buyer or of any of its affiliates to terminate, suspend, or other
modify its relationship with Buyer (after giving effect to the Closing) or any
of its subsidiaries or affiliates.
8.11.2 Reasonable
Limitations. Seller and Shareholder agree that, and acknowledge and agree
that the limitations set forth herein on their rights to compete and otherwise
are incident to the sale of a business and are reasonable and necessary for the
protection of Buyer and its affiliates. In this regard, Seller and
Shareholder specifically agree that the limitations as to period of time and
geographic area, as well as all other restrictions on its activities specified
herein, are reasonable and necessary for the protection of Buyer and its
affiliates and the value of the Assets purchased by Buyer under this Agreement.
Seller and Shareholder agree that, and acknowledge and agree that it is the
Parties' expressed contractual intent that, in the event that the provisions of
these provisions should ever be deemed to exceed the scope of business, time or
geographic limitations permitted by applicable law, such provisions shall be and
are hereby reformed to the maximum scope of business, time or geographic
limitations permitted by applicable law.
8.11.3 Extension. Any
violation of the covenant not to compete described in this Article 8 shall
extend the time period thereof for a period of time equal to the period of time
during which such violation continues. In the event Buyer or any of its
affiliates is required to seek relief from such violation in any court, board of
arbitration or other tribunal, then the covenant shall be extended for a period
of time equal to the pendency of such proceedings and any appeals
thereof.
8.12 Access and Reasonable
Support. In consideration of the payment by Buyer to Seller of $60,000 on
the Closing Date, on and after the Closing Date, Seller and Shareholder, at

reasonably request, including support services of any such

EMPLOYMENT
9.1 Offer to
hire. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, while Buyer has no
obligation to make an offer of employment to any of Seller’s employees, Buyer is
making offers of employment to certain of Seller’s employees (the “Employees”)
with employment with Buyer effective as of Closing Date. Seller and Stockholder
shall exercise reasonable efforts to insure that Employees, to whom Buyer makes
employment offers, accept employment with Buyer. Each Employee who accepts

Employee”.
9.2 Terms of
Employment. Except as herein expressly and specifically
provided otherwise, the terms of each Transferred Employee’s employment shall be

(and if requested) to Buyer’s present or proposed insurance carriers or
third-party administrators, on a census basis, as soon as practicable after
identification of Transferred Employees, information with respect to all health,
accident, workers’ compensation, disability and related claims filed by the
Transferred Employees (including, without limitation, information regarding the
total number of claims filed by, the total amount of benefits claimed by, and
the total amount of benefits paid to such persons), to the extent requested in
the case of any such carriers or administrators. At Buyer’s request, and only to

to Buyer (and if requested) to Buyer’s health insurance carriers or third-party
administrators, on a census basis, to the extent requested in the case of any
such carriers or administrators, an update of such information through the
Closing Date, as soon as practicable but no later than 15 days after the Closing
Date. Such information, which may be provided directly from Seller’s computer
database, shall be satisfactory in form and substance to such carriers and
administrators. Effective on the Closing Date, Buyer shall provide the
Transferred Employees with health and welfare benefits substantially equivalent
to those provided to similarly situated current Buyer (or affiliate) employees,
subject, however, to eligibility requirements under plans or policies of Buyer
or its affiliates (it being understood that Transferred Employees shall be given
credit for service accumulated by any such Transferred Employee with Seller for
purposes of eligibility, but for not other purposes); provided, however,
that Buyer reserves the right to modify or terminate such benefits from time to
time after the Closing Date. Such Transferred Employees shall (subject to
eligibility requirements) participate under Buyer’s health and welfare benefit
plans as of the Closing Date, and neither Buyer nor OMGI shall be responsible
for any hospitalization, medical, survivor benefits, life insurance, or
disability Claims (or other Claims or benefits) based upon medical or dental
services rendered and disability, life insurance and survivor benefits (or
otherwise) which became due and owing while such Transferred Employee was
employed by the Seller. In no event shall Buyer or OMGI be required to provide
post-retirement medical or life insurance benefits to Transferred
Employees.
9.5 Seller’s Employee Benefit
Plans. The Parties agree that, effective as of the Closing,
Seller shall continue its exclusive sponsorship of all Employee Benefit Plans of
Seller (if any), including, without limitation, any “401(k) Plan”, and Seller
and/or Shareholder shall be solely responsible and liable for all obligations,
responsibilities, Claims and Losses related to any such Employee Benefit
Plan.

any cessation of employment with Seller, Seller and/or Shareholder shall be
solely responsible for discharging any and all obligations or duties under or
with respect to the WARN Act.
9.8 Employee
Rights. Nothing contained herein (i) shall confer upon any
former, current or future employee of Seller, Buyer or OMGI or any legal
representative or beneficiary thereof any rights or remedies, including, without

Client or any of its affiliates to any contract, agreement, liability or
obligation whatsoever. It is the parties’ intent that the sole relationship
established by this Agreement is that of independent contractor and client, and
