In consideration for the sale and transfer of the Company Shares, the Buyer agrees to pay and issue to the Sellers the following (the “Purchase Price”):

(a)

The sum of Six million five hundred and seventy-three thousand eight hundred and fifty-eight dollars and twenty-eight cents ($6,573,858.28) minus any Excluded Liabilities existing as of the Closing Date and minus any Company Transaction Expenses incurred by the Company and existing as of the Closing Date (the net amount being called the “Closing Payment”), payable by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds at the Closing;

The issuance of and delivery to Sellers of 2,666,666 shares of common stock of Buyer (the “Buyer Stock”). The Buyer Stock will be restricted in relation to sale, exchange or transfer (or offers to sell, exchange or transfer) as provided under U.S. securities laws.

The Cash Purchase Price and the Buyer Stock shall be allocated between the Sellers equally.

Security.

In order to evidence the Buyer’s obligation to pay the Second Installment, at the Closing the Buyer will issue and deliver to the Sellers a promissory note (the “Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3 in the principal amount of $1,000,000, which will bear interest at the rate of nine percent (9%) per annum from January 1, 2009 if the amount of such Note is not paid on that date, subject to §2.5 hereof. If the Buyer fails to pay the Second Installment when due, then, subject to §2.5 hereof, the Sellers will be entitled, at their option, exercised by notice given to the Buyer within 30 days after the due date, to (i) enforce the Note and the associated Confession of Judgment (in the form which has been agreed upon by the parties and which will be held by the Escrow Agent and released to the Sellers according to the Escrow Terms), or (ii) provided that both Sellers or their representatives agree, to convert the Note into shares of Common Stock of Buyer having an aggregate value of $1,500,000, based on the volume-weighted average of the

OTC Bulletin Board closing bid price of the Buyer’s Common Stock during the ten (10) consecutive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, the date on which this conversion right is exercised. The shares will be restricted in relation to sale, exchange or transfer (or offers to sell, exchange or transfer) as provided under U.S. securities laws. The Buyer will at all times reserve and keep available for issuance pursuant to this section such shares of Common Stock and, if the Note is not paid when due and the Sellers give notice within the 30 day period of their election to convert the Note into shares of Common Stock, then the Buyer will, subject to existing registration rights previously granted by the Buyer, use reasonable commercial efforts to register such shares of Common Stock within twelve (12) months after the due date. Upon surrender by the Sellers of the Note, the Company shall simultaneously issue to the Sellers certificates representing $1.5 million of Common Stock of the Buyer, one-half to each Seller.

2.4

Closing Date.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing” or “Closing Date”) shall take place contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement.

2.5

Withholding.

(a)

If the Buyer delivers to the Sellers a notice seeking indemnification (referred to as a “Claim Notice” in Article 8 herein) in accordance with Article 8 of this Agreement, then the Buyer may deduct from the Second Installment such amount or amounts (which shall be specified in such notice(s) to the Sellers) as is reasonably necessary to satisfy the claim(s) seeking indemnification set forth in such Claim Notice (including costs and attorneys fees and disbursements in respect of those indemnification claims) and deposit such amount in trust with the Escrow Agent to be held according to the Escrow Terms, pending final resolution of such indemnification claim (“Claim”) (which shall mean, unless otherwise agreed among the parties hereto, a final arbitral award or, if appealed, a final judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction not subject to any further appeals adjudicating Buyer’s claim for the indemnification sought in the Claim Notice, which in no event shall exceed the Limitation of Liability).

(b)

Upon the final resolution of a Claim:

(i)

if the amount deducted and deposited in trust with the Escrow Agent by the Buyer as to that Claim Notice exceeds the amount of the Claim awarded to the Buyer, then the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Sellers any such excess, together with interest at 9% per annum for the period of time between the date that the payment of the amount that was withheld would otherwise have been due and the date that the payment of that amount is actually made to the Sellers,

(ii)

if the amount deducted and deposited in trust with the Escrow Agent by the Buyer as to that Claim Notice is less than or equal to the amount of the Claim awarded to the Buyer, then the Buyer shall not be obligated to pay the amount to the Seller, and the same shall be treated as a reduction in the purchase price reflecting a commensurate reduction in value received by the Buyer, and

(iii)

nothing in this §2.5 shall impair the rights of the Buyer set forth in Article 8 or any other provision of this Agreement, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the liability of the Sellers in the aggregate for any breach or breaches of this Agreement shall not exceed the Limitation of Liability.
