5.31 Status of Technology. As of February 8, 2008, the technology necessary to prove the concept and deploy the demonstration phase is working. A test system is operating and streaming on the internet from the Company’s office in Miami. The Company has elected not to deploy this iteration of technology in the field at this time. The Company’s process of exploration of the streaming-equipment marketplace and inquiries of numerous people and companies have revealed hardware options that may increase the reliability, performance, and/or credibility of the specific hardware deployed at remote locations. The process of securing and comparing proposals from vendors of these products is underway. Significant changes to the underlying technology as proposed and presented are not planned. The Company believes that the process currently underway to carefully evaluate all hardware and system-architecture options prior to deployment of the demonstration systems at high-profile locations is in the interest of all concerned. It is anticipated an evaluation process to determine which hardware to deploy in the field will be concluded by early March, with the first demonstration systems installed later in the month.

None of the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement and the schedules delivered to Parent contains, or will contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading as of the date to which it speaks.

From and after the date hereof until the date of Closing or termination of this Agreement, each party shall keep the other parties reasonably informed (orally and in writing) on a current basis (and in any event no later than 24 hours after the occurrence of any changes or developments of the status of any Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request (including pricing and other material terms and conditions thereof and of any material modification thereto), and any material developments (including through discussions and negotiations), including furnishing copies of any written inquiries, correspondence and draft documentation).

8.5 Employee Benefits Matters. If any employees of the Company as of the Effective Time (each, a “Company Employee”) become a participant in a benefit plan sponsored or maintained by Parent or the Surviving Company (the “Parent Plans”), in accordance with the eligibility criteria of such Parent Plans, subject to the Company providing Parent sufficient information to determine the following (i) such participants shall receive full credit for all service with the Company prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility and vesting (but not benefit accrual) subject to applicable Laws, to the extent such service is taken into account under such Parent Plans and under a comparable Company Plan, (ii) such participants shall participate in the Parent Plans on terms no less favorable than those offered by Parent to their similarly-situated employees, (iii) to the extent permitted by Law, such participants and their covered dependents shall have all pre-existing condition exclusions of such Parent Plans waived to the extent such pre-existing condition exclusions were inapplicable to or had been satisfied by such participants and their covered dependents immediately prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding Company Plan; and (iv) with respect to any Parent Plan that provides medical or health benefits, such Company Employees (and their eligible dependents) shall be given credit for co-payments made, amounts credited towards deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket maximums under the corresponding Company Plan (i.e., under the same type of Plan such as a point of service plan) in the calendar year in which such Company Employee becomes a participant in such Parent Plans; provided that the foregoing (i) through (iv) shall be subject to the Company providing to Parent sufficient information to make such determinations. Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Company to, permit each Company Employee who remains employed with Parent or the Surviving Company to use all unused vacation, sick leave and paid time off accrued by such Company Employee under Company Plans prior to the Effective Time to the extent accrued on the balance sheet contained in the Unaudited Company Financials. Nothing in this Section 8.5 shall (x) require Parent or the Surviving Company to provide any particular employee benefit plans to Company Employees, (y) limit the Surviving Company’s ability to amend or terminate any benefit plan or arrangement or (z) limit the right of Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of any Company Employee at any time.

8.6 Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prompt notice to Parent, and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to give prompt notice to the Company, to the extent that either acquires actual Knowledge of (a) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which would be reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate and (b) any failure of Parent, Merger Subsidiary or the Company, as the case may be, to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 8.6 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the party receiving such notice.

8.7 Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall develop a joint communications plan and each party shall (a) ensure that all press releases and other public statements and communications (including any communications that would require a filing under Rule 425, Rule 165 and Rule 166 of the Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consistent with such joint communications plan and (b) unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, the Company shall consult with Parent for a reasonable time before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or communication (including any communication that would require a filing under Rule 425, Rule 165 and Rule 166 of the Securities Act or Rule 14a-12 of the Exchange Act). Parent and the Company shall mutually agree upon the form and content of any such press release, public statement or communication by Parent, the Merger Subsidiary or the Company, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, except to the extent required by applicable Law, neither Parent nor the Company shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement or disclosure concerning the other party or the other party’s business, financial condition or results of operations without the consent of the other party.

8.8 Affiliates. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver to Parent a letter identifying all persons who, to the best of Company’s Knowledge, may be deemed as of the date hereof “affiliates” of the Company for purposes of Rule 145 under the Securities Act, and such list shall be updated as necessary to reflect changes from the date thereof until the Effective Time.

8.9 Takeover Statutes. The Company and its board of directors shall, if any takeover statute or similar statute or regulation of any state becomes or may become applicable to this Agreement, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary to ensure that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise to minimize the effect of such statute or regulation on this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.10 Transfer Taxes. Each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall pay any sales, use, ad valorem, property, transfer (including real property transfer) and similar Taxes imposed on such Person as a result of or in connection with the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

8.11 Additional Tax Matters. Neither Parent nor any of its Affiliates has taken or agreed to take any action (other than actions contemplated by this Agreement) that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from constituting a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code. Parent is not aware of any agreement, plan or other circumstance that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Merger from so qualifying.

8.12 Directors and Officers of Parent and Surviving Company After the Merger. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall take all necessary action so that, effective at the Closing, (i) the Board of Directors of Parent shall be reconstituted and pursuant to the Parent Charter and bylaws, shall be fixed at a total of five (5) persons and shall consist of the persons designated pursuant to Section 2.7(a) of the Agreement; and (ii) the board of directors of Surviving Company shall be fixed at a total of six (6) persons and shall consist of the persons designated pursuant to Section 2.7(a) of the Agreement.

ARTICLE IX

POST CLOSING COVENANTS

9.1 General. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each of the parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other party reasonably may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting party (unless the requesting party is entitled to indemnification therefore under Article X below). The Company acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing, Parent will be entitled to possession of all documents, books, records (including tax records), agreements, and financial data of any sort relating to the Company; provided, however, that after Closing, Parent shall provide to the Company Members reasonable access to and the right to copy such documents, books, records (including tax records), agreements, and financial data where the Company Members have a legitimate purpose, including without limitation, in the event of an internal revenue service audit.

9.2 Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment. The parties hereto shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Merger to be treated as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and shall not knowingly take or fail to take any action which action or failure to act would jeopardize the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Unless required by law, each of Parent, Merger Subsidiary and the Company shall not file any Tax Return or take any position inconsistent with the treatment of the Merger as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code.

9.3 Headquarters of Parent and Surviving Company. Following the Effective Time, the headquarters and the principal executive offices of Parent shall be in Miami, Florida and the headquarters and the principal executive offices of the Surviving Company shall be in Miami, Florida.

9.4 Indemnification of Directors and Officers of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Company to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company and its directors and officers as of the Effective Time (the “Indemnified Directors and Officers”) and any indemnification or expense advancement provisions under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws as in effect on the date hereof. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Company will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification and expense advancement that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Directors and Officers as those contained in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company, unless such modification is required by Law.

9.5 Continuity of Business Enterprise. Parent will continue at least one significant historic business line of the Company, or use at least a significant portion of the Company’s historic business assets in a business, in each case within the meaning of Reg. §1.368-1(d), except that Parent may transfer the Company’s historic business assets (i) to a corporation that is a member of Parent’s “qualified group,” within the meaning of Reg. §1.368-1(d)(4)(ii), or (ii) to a partnership if (A) one or more members of Parent’s “qualified group” have active and substantial management functions as a partner with respect to the Company’s historic business or (B) members of Parent’s “qualified group” in the aggregate own an interest in the partnership representing a significant interest in the Company’s historic business, in each case within the meaning of Reg. §1.368-1(d)(r)(ii).

9.6 Substantially All Requirement. Following the Merger, to the Knowledge of Parent, Surviving Company will hold at least 90% of the fair market value of the net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets that were held by the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, and at least 90% of the fair market value of the net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value of the gross assets that were held by Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time. Insofar as this representation is dependent upon actions of the Company prior to the Merger, Parent and Merger Subsidiary have assumed that the Company will take no action prior to the Merger that will cause the Company not to hold at least 90% of the fair market value of its net assets and at least 70% of the fair market value of its gross assets immediately prior to the Effective Time. For purposes of this Section 9.6, cash or other property paid by the Company or Merger Subsidiary to Members, or used by the Company or Merger Subsidiary to pay reorganization expenses, or distributed by the Company or Merger Subsidiary with respect to or in redemption of its outstanding stock, other than regular dividends paid in the ordinary course and other than cash or other property transferred by Parent to Merger Subsidiary in pursuance of the plan of Merger immediately preceding, or in contemplation of, the Merger are included as assets held by the Company and Merger Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time. Additionally, Parent has not participated in any plan of the Company to effect (i) any distribution with respect to any Company stock (other than regular dividend distributions made in the ordinary course), or (ii) any redemption or acquisition of any Company stock (other than in the Merger).

9.7 Additional Distributions to the Members. Within 60 days following the Closing, and no later than April 1, 2008, Parent shall cause the Company to deliver to the Members an amount, in immediately available funds, on a pro-rata basis allocated to each Member in accordance with the Allocation Agreement equal to:

(a) the net taxable income of the Company for the taxable period ending December 31, 2007 (or such period up to the Closing Date if the Closing occurs prior to December 31, 2007);

(b) the net taxable income of the Company for the period from January 1, 2008 to the Closing Date, in the event the Closing Date has not occurred prior to December 31, 2007; and

(c) the estimated Tax Liability of each Member, based upon a taxable rate of 40%, for the payments received under clauses (a) and (b) above;

Provided, however, any such payments shall be reduced by amounts paid to the Members under Section 4.1(c)(ii) above.

9.8 Key Man Life Insurance. Within 180 days following the Closing, the Parent shall cause the Company to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain “key man” life insurance policies covering each of Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxxxx in an amount to be determined by the Parent.

ARTICLE XI

REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF AGREEMENT

11.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All of the representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder (unless the non-breaching party had received from the breaching party written notice of any misrepresentation or breach of warranty prior to the time of Closing and expressly waived in writing such breach or misrepresentation) and continue in full force and effect for the period commencing on the date hereof until the date which is ten (10) Business Days after Parent’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 is filed with the SEC (“Survival Period”), but in no event later than April 30, 2009.

11.2 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of Parent. In the event that the Company violates, misrepresents or breaches (or in the event any third party alleges facts that are ultimately proven or conceded to represent a Company violation, misrepresentation or breach) any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein including, without limitation, the covenants and agreements of the Company to provide Company Information contained in Section 8.1(b) hereof and, if there is an applicable Survival Period pursuant to Section 11.1 above, provided that the Parent Representative makes a written claim for indemnification against the Company pursuant to Section 11.6 below within the Survival Period, then the Indemnifying Members agree to indemnify Parent from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences that Parent may suffer through and after the date of the claim for indemnification (including any Adverse Consequences Parent may suffer after the end of any applicable Survival Period) resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the violation, misrepresentation or breach. Any Liability incurred by the Indemnifying Members pursuant to the terms of this Article XI shall be limited, and paid by, the Indemnifying Members to Parent in accordance with this Section 11 which shall represent, except in the event of actual fraud by the Company, the sole and exclusive source for payment of any indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Members. All determinations relating to the submission of claims for the benefit of Parent hereunder shall be determined, in good faith, solely by the nominees of Parent to the Board of Directors.

(b) Indemnification Provisions for Benefit of the Members. Parent will indemnify and hold harmless each Member from and against and shall pay to the relevant Member the amount of any and all Adverse Consequences incurred by such Member arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with:

(i) any breach or failure by Parent or the Merger Subsidiary to perform any of its covenants or other obligations in this Agreement; and

(ii) any breach of any representation or warranty of Parent or the Merger Subsidiary contained in this Agreement.

11.3 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party shall notify any party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) which may give rise to a claim for indemnification against any other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article XI, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly (and in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of the Third Party Claim) notify each Indemnifying Party in writing (an “Indemnification Notice”); provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying any Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party thereby is prejudiced.

(b) Any Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within thirty (30) Business Days (or earlier in the event the underlying Third Party claim requires action) after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedent or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with Section 11.3(b) above, (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be withheld unreasonably) and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be withheld unreasonably).

(d) In the event that any of the conditions in Section 11.3(b) above fail to be complied with, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), (ii) the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and (iii) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article XI.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, Parent, the Company and Merger Subsidiary shall not settle and pay any Third Party Claim unless and until Parent shall have obtained the prior written consent of the Members’ Representative to such settlement which consent the Members’ Representative shall not unreasonably withhold or delay.

11.4 Determination of Adverse Consequences. All claims for indemnification payments under this Article XI shall be made in good faith and although a claim may be made hereunder, no payments shall be made for the benefit of the Indemnified Party until the Indemnified Party has incurred actual out-of pocket expenses.
