NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the respective covenants, agreements and representations and warranties set forth herein, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

Section 1.1 Agreement to Purchase and Sell. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing, the Shareholders shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase and acquire from the Shareholders, all right, title and interest in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Encumbrances.

Section 1.2 Purchase Price. Subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.5, the aggregate amount to be paid for the Shares shall equal a maximum of $5,000,000, minus the Closing Date Indebtedness (the “Purchase Price”).

Section 1.3 Statement of Closing Date Indebtedness. Not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement (the “Closing Date Indebtedness Statement”), signed by an officer of the Company, which sets forth, by creditor, the aggregate amount of the Closing Date Indebtedness. Copies of the Payoff Letters, delivered in accordance with Section 5.4(e) hereof, shall be attached to the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement.

Section 1.4 Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall:

(i) repay or cause to be repaid the Closing Date Indebtedness, as set forth in the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement;

(ii) pay or cause to be paid to the Shareholders a cash amount equal to $1,150,000 minus the Closing Date Indebtedness (as set forth in the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement);

(iii) retain $350,000 as a holdback (the “Holdback Amount”) to secure any payment obligation of the Shareholders upon completion of the adjustment of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 1.5 below; and

(iv) issue promissory notes to the Shareholders with an aggregate principal amount of $1,750,000 pursuant to the form of promissory note set forth on Exhibit B hereto (the “Seller Notes”).

(b) The remainder of the Purchaser Price shall be paid through the Contingent Consideration payment provisions set forth in Section 1.6 hereof.

(c) All payments required under this Section 1.4 or any other provision of this Agreement, if payable to the Shareholders, shall be allocated among the Shareholders as set forth on Exhibit C to this Agreement and shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such bank account as shall be designated in writing by the Person to which the applicable payment is due.

Section 1.5 Adjustment of Purchase Price.

(a) Within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Shareholders the Net Book Value Schedule and its calculation of the Net Book Value Deficit or Net Book Value Surplus, if any, based thereon. The Net Book Value Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(b) The Shareholders shall have thirty (30) days following receipt of the Net Book Value Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a) during which to notify the Purchaser of any dispute of any item contained therein, which notice shall set forth in detail the basis for such dispute. The Purchaser and the Shareholders shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible. Upon such resolution, the Final Net Book Value Schedule shall be prepared in accordance with the agreement of the Purchaser and the Shareholders and the calculation of the Net Book Value Deficit or the Net Book Value Surplus, if any, based thereon shall be final and binding on the parties. In the event the Shareholders do not notify the Purchaser of any such dispute within such thirty (30)-day period or notify the Purchaser within such period that they do not dispute any item contained therein, the Net Book Value Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a) shall constitute the Final Net Book Value Schedule and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Net Book Value Deficit or Net Book Value Surplus, if any, based thereon shall be final and binding upon the parties.

(c) In the event the Purchaser and the Shareholders are unable to resolve any dispute regarding the Net Book Value Schedule delivered pursuant to Section 1.5(a) within thirty (30) calendar days following the Purchaser’s receipt of notice of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by, Ernst & Young LLP (the “Accounting Referee”). In resolving any such dispute, the Accounting Referee shall consider only those items or amounts in the Net Book Value Schedule as to which the Shareholders have disagreed. The Accounting Referee’s determination of the Net Book Value Schedule and the Net Book Value Deficit or Net Book Value Surplus, if any, based thereon shall be final and binding on the parties to this Agreement. The Accounting Referee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days following its engagement. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be shared equally by the Shareholders on the one hand and the Purchaser on the other hand.

(d) Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Final Net Book Value Schedule, if there is a Net Book Value Deficit, the Purchaser shall deduct the amount of such deficit from the Holdback Amount and shall pay any remainder of the Holdback Amount allocated pro-rata to the Shareholders pursuant to the allocations set forth on Exhibit C to this Agreement. If the Holdback Amount is not sufficient to cover the amount of such deficit, the Seller Notes shall be reduced by the amount of such excess deficit, such reduction to be allocated pro rata among the Seller Notes in accordance with the allocations set forth on Exhibit C to this Agreement. If there is a Net Book Value Surplus, the Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders the Holdback Amount together with an additional amount equal to the Net Book Value Surplus.

Section 1.6 Contingent Consideration.

(a) Entitlement to Contingent Consideration. The Shareholders shall be entitled to receive additional earn-out consideration if the Company’s earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation or amortization (“EBITDA”) for the twelve month period commencing April 1, 2010 and ending, March 31, 2011 (the “Earn-out Period”) exceeds $775,000. Such earn-out payment, if any, shall be equal to 4x each dollar of EBITDA for such period over $775,000, subject to an aggregate earn-out payment cap of $1.75 million plus the amount of any Net Book Value Deficit determined pursuant to Section 1.5 above (the “Contingent Consideration”).

(b) Calculation of Contingent Consideration.

(i) Within sixty (60) calendar days following the end of the Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholders, a statement (the “EBITDA Statement”) setting forth the EBITDA of the Company for the earn-out period, together with supporting documentation, and a calculation of the Contingent Consideration payable to the Shareholders.

(ii) In the event that the Shareholders object to Purchaser’s calculation of Contingent Consideration set forth in such EBITDA Statement, then within thirty (30) days after the latest date of receipt by a Shareholder (subject to verification of date of receipt) of the EBITDA Statement, they shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice describing in reasonable detail their objections to Purchaser’s calculation of such Contingent Consideration. If the Shareholders do not deliver a notice of objection to Purchaser timely, then Purchaser’s calculation of the amounts set forth in the EBITDA Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive on Purchaser and the Shareholders and any payments owed shall be made within ten (10) calendar days thereafter. If the Shareholders deliver a notice of objection accompanied by a statement setting forth a calculation of Contingent Consideration to Purchaser timely, and if the Shareholders and Purchaser are unable to agree upon the calculation of the amounts set forth in the EBITDA Statement within thirty (30) calendar days thereafter, the dispute shall be finally settled by the Accounting Referee. The determination by the Accounting Referee of the disputed calculation of Contingent Consideration, if any, shall be final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and the Shareholders. The fees and other expenses of such Accounting Referee shall be paid by the party whose determination of Contingent Consideration payable most diverges (on an absolute dollar basis) from the determination of the Accounting Referee.

(iii) During the Earn-Out Period, the Purchaser and the Shareholders shall meet quarterly to review the status of the business, progress toward achievement of the EBITDA target set forth above and projected Contingent Consideration.

(iv) During the Earn-Out Period, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to conduct projects for which Purchaser has been using, or would in the ordinary course of business use, a prime contractor by using the Company as the prime contractor. To the extent Purchaser is able to use the Company as prime contractor, one percent (1%) of the gross revenue earned by Purchaser on such projects during the Earn-Out Period will be included in the calculation of EBITDA and the Contingent Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.6. Further, to the extent that the Company fails to win contracts for sole-source work during the Earn-Out Period as a result of the conflict of interest created by ownership of the Company by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to find the Company replacement, equivalent project work under contracts existing within Purchaser’s portfolio during the Earn-Out Period.

(v) If the Company loses an engagement or is unable to be engaged to perform Title II work at Xxxxxxx Airforce base on a sole-source basis as a result of an actual or potential conflict of interest created by ownership or proposed ownership of the Company by Purchaser, a credit of $200,000 (subject to reduction as set forth below) shall be added to EBITDA determined pursuant to Section 1.6(a) for purposes of the calculation of Contingent Consideration. Such $200,000 credit shall be reduced (i) by any EBITDA of the Company attributable to equivalent project work provided to the Company in replacement for such Xxxxxxx Airforce base Title II work pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.6(b)(iv) and (ii) pro rata for any portion of the Xxxxxxx Airforce base contract that would have been performed on or after March 31, 2011, based on the number of months of the contract performed prior to such date compared to the number of months of the contract to be performed after such date.

The Losses of the Shareholder Indemnified Parties described in this Section 8.2 as to which the Shareholder Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Shareholder Losses.”

Section 8.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Promptly following receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Body) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant hereto (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall provide written notice thereof to the party obligated to indemnify under this Agreement (the “Indemnifying Party”), provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such Third-Party Claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter assuming full responsibility for any Purchaser Losses or Shareholder Losses (as the case may be) resulting from such Third-Party Claim, to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such twenty (20)-day period, then any Purchaser Losses or any Shareholder Losses (as the case may be), shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred. In any Third-Party Claim for which indemnification is being sought hereunder the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such Third-Party Claim, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such Party’s own expense. The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.

(b) No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and maintain diligently the defense of such Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim and such release does not contain any admission or statement acknowledging any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnifying Party. An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, employees and Affiliates from all liability arising out of, or related to, such Third-Party Claim, (ii) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (iii) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s Affiliates.

(c) In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant hereto with respect to any matter not involving a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Claim”). Such Notice of Claim shall specify the basis for such Direct Claim. The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect to any Direct Claim made pursuant to this Section 8.3(c), it being understood that Notices of Claim in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty under Section 8.4. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such Notice of Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VIII or the amount thereof, the Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII, and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the Direct Claim (or any portion of the Direct Claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such Direct Claim (or such portion of such Direct Claim) becomes finally determined. In the event the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such Direct Claim as provided above, as promptly as reasonably practicable, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such Direct Claim (by mutual agreement, litigation or otherwise) and, within five (5) Business Days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such Direct Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such Direct Claim as determined hereunder.

Section 8.4 Survival Period. The representations and warranties made by the parties herein shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than, the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that (a) each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1 (Organization; Standing and Power; Subsidiaries), Section 2.3 (Authority; Binding Nature of Agreement), Section 2.5 (Capitalization), Section 3.1 (Corporate Existence and Power) and Section 3.2 (Authorization), and any claim for fraud or intentional misconduct shall survive the Closing without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely, and (b) each of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.16 (Tax Matters), Section 2.17 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 2.18 (Employee Matters), Section 2.19 (Labor Matters) and Section 2.20 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing until, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than the date of expiration of any statute of limitations applicable to the rights of any Person to bring any claim with respect to such matters. The covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 8.5 Liability Limits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against the Shareholders for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) for Purchaser Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such Purchaser Losses exceeds $25,000 (the “Purchaser Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all Purchaser Losses, including the initial $25,000. The total aggregate liability of the Shareholders for Purchaser Losses with respect to any claims made pursuant to Section 8.1(a) shall be limited to 35% of the aggregate Purchase Price (the “Purchaser Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 8.5 shall not apply to any Purchaser Losses arising out of or related to fraud or willful misconduct or a breach of any representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.3, 2.5, or 2.16, and the Shareholders shall be liable for all Purchaser Losses with respect thereto.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary any Loss otherwise indemnifiable hereunder shall be reduced by any amount recovered in connection therewith under any insurance policy.

Section 8.6 Investigations. The respective representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered by any party at or prior to the Closing and the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article VIII shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made, or Knowledge acquired, by a party.

Section 8.7 Offset Against Seller Notes and Contingent Consideration. In the event Purchaser shall suffer any Losses for which Purchaser is entitled to recovery under this Article VIII, Purchaser shall, subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in Section 8.3 set off an amount equal to such finally determined Losses first by offsetting an amount equal to the aggregate amount of such Losses against the total principal and accrued interest outstanding under the Seller Notes pro-rata among such notes and, second, from any Contingent Consideration that becomes payable pursuant to Section 1.6. Purchaser shall not be entitled to set off more than once for the same Losses. To the extent that the above rights of set off are not sufficient to satisfy a claim for Losses, Purchaser should be entitled to recover for such Losses directly from the Shareholders giving such indemnification.

Section 8.8 Exclusive Remedy. Except for actions grounded in fraud, from and after the Closing, the indemnities provided in this Article VIII shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnified Party for damages arising out of, resulting from or incurred in connection with any claims related to this Agreement or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that this exclusive remedy for damages does not preclude a party from bringing an action for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any agreement entered into in connection herewith.
