3.2 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

3.3 Reference Statement, Closing Statement; Inventory; Purchase Price Adjustment.

3.3.1

Reference Statement. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3.3.1 is a Reference Statement (the “Reference Statement”) consisting of certain itemized current assets and current liabilities as of March 31, 2005 which result in a net working capital amount of $3,144,002.82(the “Reference Net Working Capital Amount”), established for purposes of the Purchase Price Adjustment described in Section 3.3.4 below. Such items as are set forth in the Reference Statement have been determined in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and the past practices of the Seller except as agreed upon by the Seller and the Purchaser as set forth on the Reference Statement.

3.3.2

Closing Statement. A statement (the “Closing Statement”) shall be prepared by Purchaser, consisting of the same item categories as are set forth in the Reference Statement, and reflecting all current assets of the Seller being transferred and of benefit to the Purchaser, and all current liabilities specifically being assumed by Purchaser (including those referenced in Section 10.5.4(a) below) or which are imposed upon the Purchaser, and based upon the results of the Inventory Count described in Section 3.3.3 below and the Files and Records of Seller as of the Closing Date. The Closing Statement will result in a net working capital amount (the “Closing Net Working Capital Amount”), established for purposes of the Purchase Price Adjustment described in Section 3.3.4 below. The items set forth in the Closing Statement shall be determined in accordance with GAAP and the past practices of the Seller. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller the Closing Statement not later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof. Any dispute between Purchaser and Seller with regard to the Closing Statement shall be resolved pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4.

3.3.3

Inventory. As of the Closing Date, a physical count of the Inventory (the “Inventory Count”) was conducted by the employees of Seller in accordance

with past practices of the Seller and mutually agreed upon procedures, subject to the supervision of Purchaser and its accountants. The Inventory as counted at the Closing Date shall be valued as soon as reasonably possible following the Closing Date as follows: raw materials and purchased components shall be valued individually at the lower of acquisition costs or market value in accordance with GAAP consistently applied. Acquisition costs shall be determined on an item-by-item basis by reference to the price most recently paid by Seller (i.e., first-in, first-out basis). Work-in-process, consisting of manufactured parts, sub-assemblies and equipment in the process of being assembled, and finished goods shall be valued at the sum of the value of the raw material and purchased components, the direct labor and the factory burden applicable to said items as further set forth herein: (i) raw materials and purchased components shall be valued at the lower of acquisition costs or market value in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, (ii) direct labor shall be valued at the year-to-date average actual rate per hour for direct labor employed by Seller, multiplied by verifiable time standards and (iii) burden shall determined by reference to a rate per hour of direct labor, reflecting actual expenses (both fixed and variable) of manufacturing overhead, excluding costs generally associated with engineering, sales, marketing, general and administrative expense and the like. The above inventory processes shall be conducted in accordance with Seller’s past practice so long as not inconsistent with GAAP and with appropriate reduction for all non-saleable, unusable, damaged, obsolete and slow-moving inventory items (i.e., inventory reserves). Notwithstanding the foregoing, and solely for the purposes of calculating the Inventory Valuation Reduction (defined below), all products in work-in-process will be increased by amounts required to deem them equivalent to their respective finished goods values, consistent with above, and to the extent that the gross value of finished goods and pro-forma work in process inventories, as of the Closing Date, are determined to have been, in the aggregate, of a value in excess of 75% of the average demonstrable recent selling prices actually invoiced by Seller to its customers within sixty (60) days prior to the Closing Date (or, if not available within such time frame, the last selling price actually invoiced by Seller to its customer), extended to reflect the number of items of Inventory being valued, such excess, further reduced by the amount of the Inventory “general” reserve recorded on the books up to a maximum of $35,000, shall constitute an “Inventory Valuation Reduction”. The amount of any such work in process or finished goods Inventory Valuation Reduction, however, shall not exceed $250,000 in the aggregate.

3.3.4

Purchase Price Adjustment. When the Closing Net Working Capital Amount is finally determined (including pursuant to Section 3.4, if applicable), the Purchase Price will be adjusted in the following manner:

(a) If the Closing Net Working Capital Amount is greater than the Reference Net Working Capital Amount, the Purchase Price will be increased, dollar for dollar, by an amount equal to such excess, and Purchaser shall, and Purchaser Parent shall cause Purchaser to, pay to Seller such excess amount in accordance with Section 3.5.

(b) If the Closing Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Reference Net Working Capital Amount, the Purchase Price will be decreased, dollar for dollar, by an amount equal to such difference, and Seller shall, and Parent shall cause Seller to, pay to Purchaser such amount in accordance with Section 3.5.

3.4 Disputes. (a) In the event that Seller disputes the Closing Statement in any respect, Seller shall so notify Purchaser within fifteen (15) days of its receipt of the Closing Statement (which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the disputed items). If the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within fifteen (15) days thereafter, the items that remain in dispute (the “Disputed Items”) shall be submitted to an independent accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to Purchaser and Seller (the “Independent Accountant”) for determination. In the event that the parties do not agree upon an Independent Accountant within fifteen (15) days of the date on which an Independent Accountant is initially proposed by one party to the other, the parties shall submit the matter to the American Arbitration Association for a determination of the Independent Accountant. In connection with its review, the Independent Accountant shall (i) have the right to undertake such procedures as it may deem appropriate and examine all work papers utilized in connection with the preparation of the Closing Statement, and (ii) only make a determination as to the Disputed Items. The decision of the Independent Accountant as to the Disputed Items shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties, without any right of further appeal (absent manifest error). The expense of (A) the Independent Accountant, and (B) the submission to the American Arbitration Association (as set forth in this paragraph) shall be (i) borne by Purchaser and Purchaser Parent, jointly and severally, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, in proportion to the relative differences between (x) the final position of the parties prior to submission of the matter to the Independent Accountant and (y) the determination of the Independent Accountant.

(b) Promptly following the delivery of the Closing Statement, each of Seller, the Purchaser, and Purchaser Parent shall make the Files and Records of the Embassy Business within their respective possession available to each other on reasonable notice during normal business hours in order for the parties to verify the calculations of the amounts set forth in the Closing Statement.

(B) if such amount is greater than the Adjustment Escrow, the Adjustment Escrow shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser and the difference between the Adjustment Amount and the Adjustment Escrow shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser.

(ii) In accordance with the provisions of Section 3.5 (b) of this Agreement, in the event that the Adjustment Amount is payable to Seller, then the Adjustment Escrow shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to Seller and the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Adjustment Escrow” shall mean a portion of the Escrow Fund, as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement, in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000).

(d) (i) In the event that one or more Claims (as hereinafter defined) is made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 16 of this Agreement and notice of such Claim is received by Seller prior to the expiration of the period ending on the twenty (20) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Survival Period”) (an “Allowed Claim”):

(ii) To the extent that the aggregate amount of all such Allowed Claims (the “Aggregate Claim Amount”) is less than the amount of the Indemnification Escrow (as hereinafter defined), the Seller shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent the difference between the Indemnification Escrow and the Aggregate Claim Amount upon the expiration of the Survival Period.

(iii) In the event that the amount of any Allowed Claim (a “Claim Amount”) is determined by the final, binding, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction (determined in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement) (an “Order”) to be due Purchaser, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent such Claim Amount up to the amount of the Indemnification Escrow or the remaining balance thereof, if less. The balance, if any, of the Indemnification Escrow after the payment of amounts due Purchaser as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence shall be payable by the Escrow Agent to Seller on the later of the

expiration of the Survival Period or the day the last such payment is made to Purchaser.

(iv) If no Allowed Claim is made, the Indemnification Escrow shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Seller upon the expiration of the Survival Period. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Indemnification Escrow” shall mean a portion of the Escrow Fund, as such term is defined in the Escrow Agreement, in the amount of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000).

If any party receives notice that a taxing authority is challenging such allocation, the party receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other party, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith in responding to such challenge in order to preserve the effectiveness of such allocation. Notwithstanding any allocation by the parties, Purchaser has agreed to purchase and Seller has agreed to sell all of the Assets, and the allocation is not intended and shall not be deemed to constitute an agreement between the parties to transfer less than all of the Assets.

Until such consent is obtained, or if an assignment, attempt to assign or agreement to assign, would be ineffective or would affect the rights of Seller thereunder so that the Purchaser would not in fact receive all such rights, Purchaser and Seller will cooperate with each other in any arrangement reasonably designed to provide for Purchaser the benefits of, and to permit Purchaser to assume (and Purchaser hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and discharge, as and when due) all liabilities and obligations under and related to the particular Asset, including enforcement at the request and expense and for the benefit of Seller of any and all rights of Seller against a third party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such third party or otherwise.

Except as set forth as Schedule 7.3 and/or Schedule 1.1.3 attached hereto: neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Related Agreements, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the Certificate or Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or other charter documents of Seller or Parent, as applicable, (ii) conflict with or violate any law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree applicable to the Embassy Business or by which any of the Assets are bound or affected or (iii) conflict with or result in any breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination or cancellation of, or accelerate the performance required by or maturity of, or result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), on any of the material Assets, pursuant to any of the terms, conditions or provisions of, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, permit, license, franchise, lease, contract or other instrument or obligation to which Seller or Parent is a party or by which any of the Assets are bound or affected, except, in the case of (i) (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults, terminations, cancellations and accelerations which in the aggregate will not have a material adverse effect on the Assets or the Embassy Business.

7.4 Financial Statements. Attached hereto as Schedule 7.4 are the balance sheets of Seller as of December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004, and March 31, 2005 (the “Balance Sheet Date”), and the related statements of operations, for the respective fiscal years and interim period then ended (all of the foregoing referred to above in this Section 7.4 are herein collectively referred to as the “Seller Financial Statements”). The Seller’s balance sheet as of the Balance Sheet Date is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Balance Sheet.” The Seller Financial Statements in all material respects fairly present the assets, liabilities and financial position of Seller as of the respective dates set forth therein and the results of operations of Seller for the respective periods set forth therein. The Seller Financial Statements have been prepared in each case in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved.

7.5 No Material Adverse Change. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.5, since the Balance Sheet Date, there has been no material adverse change in the nature, business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities (actual or contingent), except for accounts payable and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business of the Embassy Business, or in the financial condition thereof, or in the manner of conducting the Embassy Business, or in the condition or position of the Embassy Business, other than changes in the ordinary course of business which in the aggregate are not material and adverse or which are adjusted for in accordance with Section 3 hereof. To the Seller’s Knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 7.5, since the Balance Sheet Date, there has been no event or condition of any character which, either individually or in the aggregate, might reasonably be expected to affect in a material adverse manner the business, operations, properties, assets, liabilities, earnings or financial condition of Embassy Business or the Assets. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and since March 31, 2005, Seller has not, except in the ordinary course of business:

(1)	paid any dividend in respect of the Assets;

(2)	suffered any damage, destruction or loss of any Asset, whether or not covered by insurance, which exceeds $25,000;

(3)	sold, leased, transferred, assigned, distributed or otherwise disposed of any tangible Asset with a value in excess of $10,000, or any intangible Asset, except for the sale of finished goods or repair parts in the ordinary course of business and the replacement of certain Assets;

(4)	changed its payment practices relative to trade payables in such a manner that the average age of Seller’s trade payables outstanding at the Closing Date is inconsistent with Seller’s historical practice as reflected in the Seller Financial Statements; or

(5)	offered any cash discounts on trade receivables inconsistent with the Seller’s historical practices as reflected in the Seller Financial Statements.

7.6 All Necessary Assets. Except for the Excluded Assets, the Assets being sold, transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered by Seller under this Agreement constitute all of the assets used by Seller in the conduct of the Embassy Business in all material respects.

7.7 Title to Assets. Seller warrants that it owns the Assets free and clear of all mortgages, pledges, liens, security interests, assignments, conditional sales agreements, encumbrances, claims or charges of any kind (“Liens”), except for Permitted Liens or Liens to be discharged at Closing. At the Closing Date, none of the Assets will be subject to any commitment or other arrangement for its sale or use by third parties except under Material Agreements disclosed in Schedule 1.1.3. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Permitted Liens” means: (i) Liens for Taxes not yet due and payable or being contested in good faith, an adverse outcome from which would not result in a material adverse effect on the Assets or the Embassy Business, and (ii) minor imperfections of title, none of which, individually or in the aggregate, materially detracts from the value of the affected properties in the manner such properties currently are being used, or materially impairs the operations of the Embassy Business or the Assets. Schedule 7.7 sets forth Liens to be discharged at Closing with respect to the Assets. For purposes of this Agreement, this representation and warranty does not apply to the Receivables or the Inventory, each of which being the subject of separate representations and warranties.

7.8 Machinery and Equipment; Condition of Assets. The Machinery & Equipment included in the Assets set forth in Schedule 1.1.1 are in good operating condition and repair, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and are reasonably satisfactory for the purposes for which the Assets are being used, and are capable of being used to carry on the Embassy Business consistent with past practice.

7.9 Compliance with Laws. To Seller’s Knowledge, the operation of the Embassy Business and the use of the Assets comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules, decrees, orders and regulations, including federal and state and local environmental, health and safety laws, rules and regulations, and material laws related to employment practices and payroll, except where failure to comply with any of the foregoing in the

aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the Assets or the Embassy Business (collectively the “Laws”). To Seller’s Knowledge, Seller has obtained all necessary material Permits and has filed all required material notices with federal, state and local governmental bodies that are required by applicable Laws for the use of the Assets and in order to conduct Embassy Business as presently conducted, all of which are valid and effective as of the Closing Date, and all payments, fees and costs thereof have been paid in full to the Closing Date. Seller has not received written notice of any material violations of any Laws or any material covenants or material Contracts with respect to the Embassy Business or any of the Assets, and to Seller’s Knowledge, no such notice of violations is pending or has been threatened.

7.10 Absence of Litigation. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.10 attached hereto, there are no judgments or other judicial or administrative orders outstanding against Seller that if determined adversely to Seller would materially adversely impair the right or ability of Seller to carry on the Embassy Business as it is now conducted or would materially adversely affect the financial condition of Seller. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.10 attached hereto, there is no action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any governmental or administrative instrumentality or other agency now pending or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened against or affecting Seller or the Assets which, if adversely determined, would materially impair the right or ability of Seller to carry on the Embassy Business as it is now conducted or would materially adversely affect the financial condition of Seller.

7.11 Material Agreements. Schedule 1.1.3 is an accurate and complete list of all of Seller’s Material Agreements required to be listed thereon pursuant to this Agreement.

Except as set forth on Schedule 7.11 attached hereto, at the Closing Date, all required consents to the assignment by Seller to Purchaser of Seller’s rights under the Material Agreements will have been obtained by Seller. To Seller’s Knowledge no party to any of the Material Agreements is in material default thereunder and no event has occurred, which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a material default under any of the Material Agreements.

7.12 Receivables. The Receivables being conveyed hereunder will, at the Closing Date, be owned by Seller. Seller shall guarantee the collectibility of the gross Receivables, as finally determined and set forth on the Closing Statement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that, following reasonable collection efforts by or on behalf of Purchaser and Purchaser Parent (consistent with the past practices of Seller), the amount of uncollected gross Receivables six months following the Closing Date exceed an amount equal to 5.75% of the gross Receivables set forth on the Closing Statement, (it being understood that for purposes of determining the Closing Statement, a reserve equal to 5.75% of the gross Receivables will be utilized and Seller is guarantying collectibility of the Receivables to the extent uncollectible Receivables exceed such reserve).

7.13 Intellectual Property. Schedule 1.1.4(a) lists Registered Intellectual Property owned by Seller and material to the conduct of the Embassy Business as of the Closing Date.
