4.1. Authority. Buyer has full legal right, power and authority, without the consent of any other Person, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not result in the creation of any material adverse lien, charge or encumbrance or the acceleration of any indebtedness or other obligation of Buyer and are not prohibited by, do not violate or conflict with any provision of, and do not result in any material adverse default under or a breach of (i) any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Buyer is a party, (ii) any regulation, order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental agency, or (iii) any law applicable to Buyer.

5. Covenants. Each of the parties hereto hereby agree to keep, perform and, if appropriate, shall further cause the Corporation and the Corporation shall cause each Subsidiary to keep, perform and fully discharge the following covenants and agreements imposed upon each such party.

5.1. Continued Assistance. Following the closing, the Seller shall refer to Buyer, as promptly as practicable, any telephone calls, letters, orders, notices, requests, inquiries and other communications relating to the Business. From time to time following the Closing, at Buyer’s request and without any further consideration, the Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such additional documents, instruments of conveyance, transfer and assignment or assurances and take such other action as Buyer may reasonably request to more effectively assign, convey and transfer to Buyer the Purchased Shares. Additionally, for a reasonable time following the Closing, Seller agrees to offer reasonable assistance and cooperation to Buyer in any matter related to the Business. Buyer and Seller agree to cooperate to the fullest extent necessary to prepare the Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2004 and 2004 tax returns. From the Closing Date through December 31, 2004, Seller will utilize commercially reasonable efforts to allow the Corporation and Subsidiaries to continue the use of the Microsoft Business Solutions - Great Plains accounting software. Seller shall prepare and cause to be filed at Seller’s expense all necessary 2003 tax returns and tax filings for the Corporation and the Subsidiaries not later than August 31, 2004.

5.2. Records and Documents. For seven (7) years following the Closing Date, each of the parties shall grant, or, if applicable, cause a Person under its control (a “Controlled Person”) to grant, to the other and their respective representatives, at each party’s request, access to and the right to make copies of those records and documents related to the Common Stock, the Corporation, the Subsidiaries or the Business, possession of which is retained by the other party or a Controlled Person, as may be necessary or useful for whatever reason after the Closing Date. If during such period any party, the Corporation or any Subsidiary (the “Disposing Party”) elects to dispose of such records the appropriate party hereto shall give or cause the Disposing Party to first give the other party sixty (60) days’ prior written notice thereof, during which period the other party shall have the right to take possession of such records. If any such party sells its interest in a Controlled Person, it shall impose this covenant upon the purchaser for the other party.

5.3. Assignment of Accounts Receivable. On June 30, 2004, the Corporation and each Subsidiary shall assign to Seller, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, all of their respective rights, title and interest in and to all Accounts Receivable outstanding for over sixty days (the “Aged Receivables”) with the exception of the Accounts Receivable from Environmental Waste Technologies/Xxxxxxx Enterprises, Inc. Such assignment shall be effectuated in accordance with an Assignment Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 5.3 (the “Assignment Agreement”). Seller and Buyer shall cause the Corporation and each Subsidiary to fulfill its respective obligations under the Assignment Agreement.

5.4 Non-competition. Neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates shall, for a period of three (3) years after the Closing, Compete directly or indirectly with Buyer in any geographic

location where the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries do Business. For purposes of this Agreement, Compete shall be defined as applying for or receiving any operating authority from the Interstate Commerce Commission or the United States Department of Transportation and operating in the transportation services business either by owning trucks or through a fleet of owner-operators signed on to Seller or an Affiliate. Neither Seller nor any of Seller’s Affiliates shall employ or offer employment to any employee listed on Exhibit 3.25 for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date without Buyer’s prior written consent; provided that such employee is continuing to be compensated at a level at least equal to such employee’s compensation as of the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.4, Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed except with respect to the following employees in which case such consent may be withheld in the sole, unfettered discretion of Buyer: (i) Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, (ii) Xxxxxx Xxxxx; (iii) Xxxx Xxxxx; (iv) Xxxx Xxxxxxxx; (v) Xxxxxx XxXxxxxxx; and (vi) Xxxx Xxxxxxx. The parties acknowledge that the Buyer and the Corporation and Subsidiaries would be irreparably injured by the breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 5.4, and money damages alone would not be an appropriate measure of the harm to come from such continuing breach. Therefore, equitable relief, including specific performance of such provisions by injunction, would be an appropriate remedy for the breach of such provisions. Seller hereby agrees and consents, without limitation or election of remedies, and in addition to all other remedies at law and equity to which Buyer may be entitled, and without the posting of bond or other security, to the entry of a temporary restraining order without notice or hearing, to a preliminary injunction and permanent injunction, enjoining such violation.

5.5 Tax Matters.

(a) Section 338(h)(10) Tax Election. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in all reasonable respects to enable the parties to elect to treat the sale of stock herein for federal income tax purposes as a purchase by Buyer of the Corporation’s and the Subsidiaries’ assets, and to allow the parties to make an election after Closing pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 338(h)(10) and any corresponding elections under state, local or foreign tax law accordingly (herein the “Tax Election”). Provided, however, that if in the sole determination by tax counsel for the Seller, the Tax Election will result in a negative tax impact to the Seller, then the Buyer shall be required either (1) to elect not to make the Tax Election; or (2) to pay over, indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the Seller from and against the monetary value of the negative tax impact of the Tax Election, the monetary value of such negative tax impact being determined by tax counsel for Seller in its sole discretion. The determination by tax counsel for the Seller as to whether the Tax Election will result in a negative tax impact and the amount thereof shall be made within Two Hundred Ten (210) days after Closing. In no event shall the Seller be required to make the Tax Election other than according to the requirements of this Paragraph. In the event that the parties make the Tax Election, then the Seller shall pay any tax (whether federal, state, local or foreign) on gains from this transaction and the Seller shall indemnify the Buyer from and against any claims arising from such tax on this transaction (except for any increase in tax as a result of the Tax Election being made, for which Buyer shall indemnify Seller as provided above). Furthermore, in the event that the Buyer files for said Tax Election, and if for any reason the Buyer ultimately receives no financial benefit as a result of such election, the Buyer shall have no claim of

any kind against the Seller in connection therewith, it being agreed by the parties that although the Seller has agreed to cooperate with the Buyer, the Seller shall have no liability resulting therefrom.

(b) Returns for Periods through Closing. The Seller shall include the income of the Corporation, including any deferred income triggered into income by Regulation §1.1502-13 and Regulation §1.1502-14 and any excess loss accounts taken into income under Regulation §1.1502-19, on the Seller’s consolidated federal income tax returns for all periods up to the date of Closing, and the Seller shall pay any federal income taxes attributable to such income. The Corporation and the Buyer shall furnish tax information to the Seller for inclusion in Seller’s federal consolidated income tax return for such period. The Seller will allow the Buyer a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such tax returns, including any amended returns, to the extent that they relate to the Corporation. The income of the Corporation will be apportioned to the period up to and including the date of Closing by closing the books as of the end of business on the date of Closing.

(c) Allocation of Purchase Price. In the event that the parties make the Tax Election, the parties agree that the Purchase Price and the liabilities of the Corporation and Subsidiaries, plus other relevant items, will be allocated to the assets of the Corporation and Subsidiaries for all purposes, including tax and financial accounting purposes, in a manner consistent with the fair market values set forth in the allocation schedule reasonably agreed upon by the parties. Buyer, Seller, the Corporation and Subsidiaries shall file all tax returns, including amended returns, claims for refund, and information reports, in a manner consistent with such values. If the Tax Election is made, Buyer will prepare and file (after providing Seller with not less than thirty (30) days to review and sign) all election forms relating to such Tax Election within the statutorily required time frames.

1. Safety-Kleen Creditor Trust, by and through Oolenoy Valley Consulting LLC, Trustee v. Dart Trucking Company, Inc. On or about January 27, 2004, Safety-Kleen Creditor Trust, by and through Ooleney Valley Consulting LLC, Trustee (“Safety-Kleen”) served a summons and complaint for an adversary proceeding in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware against Dart Trucking Company, Inc. (“Dart”). The proceeding alleges that Dart received transfers in an aggregate amount of $286,494.00 from Safety-Kleen which are avoidable under Section 547(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Safety-Kleen requests the Bankruptcy Court to require Dart to return the transfers.

The Corporation has filed an answer denying any liability and believes that it has several defenses to the allegations which, if successful, would reduce and/or eliminate any liability. This matter has been settled for $65,000. See attached pages 3.11(a)1-3.11(a)6.

2. The following accidents may result in lawsuits. All have been reported to Zurich American Insurance Company. All are considered automobile liability claims. Any potential losses resulting from such accidents should be within policy limits.


A.	Claimant:	Xxxx Xxx
	Claim Number:	4640081118
	D.O.A.:	10/31/01

Claimant was a Waste Management employee who fell while using one of Dart’s tractors to preload a trash trailer at a transfer station from which Dart was transporting garbage. He was able to finish work that day and report to work the next day, but the injury aggravated a preexisting condition he had and by the end of the second day he was quadriplegic. Dow is represented by counsel. The insurance company has retained defense counsel for Dart in anticipation of a future lawsuit. Significant investigation has been completed. Dow’s counsel claims that Dart was negligent because the tractor Dow used was filthy and had hydraulic fluid dripped on it, which made it slippery and unsafe. There was a yard tractor available for Dow to use. The condition of the tractor Dow did use was open and obvious to him.


B.	Claimant:	Xxxx Xxxxxx
	Claim Number:	4660097896
	D.O.A.:	4/21/03

Claimant collided with Dart driver Xxxxx Xxxxx at an intersection. Stone had a stop sign and flashing red light. Xxxxxx had a flashing yellow light. Xxxxxx left no skid marks. Xxxxxx hit Xxxxx’x tractor on the passenger side. Xxxxxx is represented by counsel, who claims Xxxxxx suffered serious injuries. He has not yet provided medical reports or bills to the adjuster.

Pg. 2

Exhibit 3.11


C.	Claimant:	Unknown
	Claim Number:	4660105497
	D.O.A.:	1/6/04

Dart driver Xxxx Xxxxxx was involved in a 42-vehicle chain reaction collision on Interstate 80 during a whiteout. 25 people were injured and 6 were killed. Xxxxxx was driving unit 22. The fatalities were in units 18 (2), 19, 20 (2) and 36. We have no reason to believe that Xxxxxx contributed to the injuries or fatalities, but we have been contacted by the attorney for the estate of 2 of the decedents, looking for discovery-type information.
