- 18 -

(b) “Net Non-Cash Working Capital” shall equal: (A) Adjusted Accounts Receivable, plus (B) Inventory valued as follows: (i) 25% of the value of Old Inventory plus (ii) 100% of the value of New Inventory, plus (C) Prepaid Expenses, less (D) Unearned Income, less (E) the amount of the Current Liabilities that are Assumed Liabilities in accordance with Section 2.3(b), less (F) all customer deposits, less (G) Accrued Benefits Liabilities, and less, (H) the amount of security deposits relating to any Assumed Agreement, including without limitation, any lease assumed by Purchaser (unless such security deposit amount is transferred to the benefit of Purchaser at no cost in connection with the assumption).

(c) Schedule 2.5(c) sets forth the calculations of Performing RMR and Third Party Monitoring RMR as of October 20, 2004, as agreed to by Purchaser and Sellers. Based on the calculations set forth in Schedule 2.5(c) and inclusion of the Premium Payment, the initial estimated purchase price (exclusive of adjustment for the Net Non-Cash Working Capital) is $42,752,442.37 (the “Initial Estimated Purchase Price”).

(d) Five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Sellers and Purchaser shall work together in good faith to prepare an estimate of the Purchase Price (the “Estimated Purchase Price”). In connection therewith, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser at least five Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date (i) a detailed calculation of Net Non-Cash Working Capital together with appropriate supporting documentation, including Sellers’ balance sheet and (ii) the same type of information provided by Sellers to Purchaser in connection with the calculation of the Initial Estimated Purchase Price. The Estimated Purchase Price shall be based on (i) the Performing RMR and Third Party Monitoring RMR as of the most current practicable date (but in no event more than ten Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date) and (ii) Net Non-Cash Working Capital as of the most recent month end for which Sellers have financial statements available that are prepared in the ordinary course of business. The calculations of Performing RMR and Third Party Monitoring RMR used to prepare the Estimated Purchase Price shall be prepared with the same methodology used to prepare Schedule 2.5(c). Purchaser and Sellers shall work together in good faith to resolve any disagreements relating to the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price prior to the Closing Date. If the Purchaser and Sellers are unable to resolve any disputes as to the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price, then, for purposes of the Closing, the “Estimated Purchase Price” will be the amount calculated by Sellers as provided, less one-half the amount in dispute. The Estimated Purchase Price shall be determined assuming that each of Defaulting RMR and Terminated RMR is $0.00.

(e) Not later than thirty days after the 90th day following the Closing Date (such 90th day being referred to as the “Adjustment Date” and the 30th day following the Adjustment Date being referred to as, the “Settlement Date”), Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a final determination of the Purchase Price (including adjustment for Defaulting RMR, Terminated RMR and Net Non-Cash Working Capital) as of the Closing Date (the

- 19 -

“Final Purchase Price”), together with appropriate supporting documentation (including the same type of information provided by Sellers to Purchaser in connection with the calculation of the Initial Estimated Purchase Price), which will state in reasonable detail the nature and extent of each adjustment. The calculations of Performing RMR and Third Party Monitoring RMR used to prepare the Final Purchase Price shall be prepared with the same methodology used to prepare Schedule 2.5(c) and calculated with respect only to Subscriber Contracts in effect as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall permit Sellers to have reasonable access to (i) the books, records and other documents pertaining to or used in connection with the calculation of the Final Purchase Price and (ii) employees of the Purchaser who have been involved in the calculation of the Final Purchase Price and shall work with Sellers in good faith to come to agreement on the calculation of the Final Purchase Price.

(f) Should Sellers dispute Purchaser’s calculation of the Final Purchase Price, Starpoint shall, within thirty days after receipt of the Final Purchase Price, notify Purchaser in writing of such dispute by setting forth Sellers’ calculation of the Final Purchase Price and describing in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute (an “Objection Notice”). If no Objection Notice is delivered timely, then Purchaser’s calculation of the Final Purchase Price shall be presumed to be correct and will be binding on the parties. If an Objection Notice is delivered to Purchaser, then Purchaser and Starpoint on behalf of Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve the dispute with respect to the computation of the Final Purchase Price. In the event that Purchaser and Sellers are unable to resolve all such disagreements within fifteen (15) days after Purchaser’s receipt of such Objection Notice, Purchaser and Sellers shall submit such remaining disagreements to Ernst & Young, or such other independent, nationally recognized accounting firm mutually acceptable to both parties (the “Auditor”). Purchaser and Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Auditor to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Final Purchase Price as soon as practicable, but in any event shall direct the Auditor to render a determination within thirty days after its retention. The Auditor shall consider only those items and amounts in Purchaser’s and Sellers’ respective calculations of the Final Purchase Price that are identified as being items and amounts to which Purchaser and Seller have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Auditor may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The Auditor’s determination of the Final Purchase Price shall be based solely on written materials submitted by Purchaser and Seller (i.e., not on independent review). The determination of the Auditor shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

(g) The costs and expenses of the Auditor in determining the Final Purchase Price shall be borne by Purchaser, on the one hand, and Sellers on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the disputed amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually disputed by such party. For example, if Purchaser claims the Final Purchase Price is $1,000 less than the amount determined by Sellers, and Sellers contest only $500 of the amount claimed by Purchaser, and if the Auditor ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding Purchaser $300 of the $500 contested, then the costs and expenses of the Auditor will be allocated 60 percent (i.e., 300 ÷ 500) to Sellers and 40 percent (i.e., 200 ÷ 500) to Purchaser.

- 20 -

(h) On the Closing Date, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers a portion of the Purchase Price equal to the difference between the Estimated Purchase Price less the sum of (i) the Closing Holdback and (ii) the Large Customer Agreement Escrow, if any (including the release of the Deposit and earnings thereon as partial payment of said amount), which payment shall be made by federal funds wire transfer or other form of immediately available funds. Purchaser shall on the Closing Date deliver to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement an amount equal to the sum of (i) 10% of the Estimated Purchase Price plus (ii) an amount equal to the Aged Accounts Payable, if any (such sum of (i) and (ii) being collectively referred to as, the “Closing Holdback”) plus (iii) the Large Customer Agreement Escrow, if any. The Closing Holdback, together with all interest and other sums earned thereon, are referred to as the “Closing Holdback Deposit”. The Closing Holdback Deposit and the Large Customer Agreement Escrow shall be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement and shall not, or be deemed to, be proceeds under this Agreement until such time as the parties agree or a final Order is entered declaring the same, or portion thereof, to be payable to Sellers hereunder. Interest and other amounts earned on the Closing Holdback Deposit and the Large Customer Agreement Escrow shall be for the account of Sellers. Thereafter, the Closing Holdback will, in accordance with Section 2.5(i) and Section 12.1, either be paid as directed by Sellers or returned to Purchaser. The Large Customer Agreement Escrow will, in accordance with Section 2.9, either be paid as directed by Sellers or returned to Purchaser.

(i) To the extent that the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from the Escrow Agent, within three Business Days of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.5(f), a portion of the Closing Holdback equal to the amount that the Final Purchase Price is less than the Estimated Purchase Price. If the Final Purchase Price is greater than the Estimated Purchase Price, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers within three Business Days of the final determination of the Final Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.5(f) an amount equal to the difference between the Final Purchase Price and the Estimated Purchase Price by delivering to Escrow Agent by federal funds wire transfer or other form of immediately available funds.

(j) All payments made to Seller hereunder shall be made directly as designated by Sellers to Purchaser in writing. Purchaser shall have no liability to any Seller with respect to any payment of the Purchase Price so long as Purchaser delivers the Purchase Price as directed by Sellers in writing.

2.6 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price, including the Premium Payment, (and all other capitalizable costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code as set forth on Schedule 2.6 hereto (the “Allocation”). The parties shall prepare and file all returns, statements or other similar information required to be furnished to any tax authority in

- 21 -

connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all statements or other information required to be furnished pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code, in a manner consistent with the Allocation. The parties hereby agree that the Allocation shall be conclusive and binding on each of them for all applicable purposes, including for purposes of U.S. federal income tax and, where applicable, state and local or other tax returns; provided, however, that with respect to the several Sellers and their respective estates, the Allocation shall not be binding upon the creditors or other parties-in-interest in the Chapter 11 Cases for any purpose (except it shall be binding with respect to matters pertaining to Purchaser), including as to the allocation of the Purchase Price among the several estates of the Sellers.

2.7 Deposit. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, on account of the Purchase Price Purchaser shall for the benefit of Sellers deliver a deposit in the amount equal to $4,200,244.24 (such sum, together with all interest and other sums earned thereon, is referred to as the “Deposit”) to Sellers by certified check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Interest and other amounts earned on the Deposit shall be for the account of Purchaser. The Deposit shall be applied to the Estimated Purchase Price at the Closing or, upon termination of this Agreement, be released to Purchaser or Sellers pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement.

2.8 Transfer Taxes and Similar Expenses. Any transfer taxes, sales taxes, stamp duties, filing fees, registration fees, recordation expenses, escrow fees or other similar taxes, fees, charges or expenses of any kind whatsoever (other than income taxes, taxes on capital gains and all other taxes not specified above in this sentence) incurred by Sellers or any other party in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets or the Business to Purchaser or in connection with any of the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements shall be borne and paid 50% by Sellers and 50% by Purchaser; provided however, if the aggregate sum of the transfer taxes incurred by Sellers or any other party in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets or the Business to Purchaser or in connection with any of the other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements exceed $5,000, then Sellers shall pay 100% of the amount by which such transfer taxes exceed $5,000. Sellers may, at their option and upon written notice delivered to Purchaser no later than two Business Days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, require Purchaser to remit its share of any such payments to Sellers at the Closing pursuant to Section 4.2(a) to enable Sellers to remit timely payment to the appropriate party. If Sellers or Purchaser breach this Section 2.8, the breaching party shall indemnify the other party, hold the other party harmless, and reimburse the other party for any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses that arises as a result of the breaching party’s breach of this Section 2.8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the Closing Date for the full period of any applicable statute of limitations plus sixty days.

2.9 Large Customer Agreement Escrow.

(a) If any Large Customer Agreement cannot be delivered (i) free and clear of Encumbrances (including without limitation any Permitted Encumbrances) or other restrictions or (ii) in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser so as to allow Purchaser to assume and perform the obligations under any such Large Customer Agreement without requiring the assistance of Sellers (Large Customer Agreements described in the

- 22 -

foregoing clauses (i) or (ii) being referred to as an “Encumbered Large Customer Agreement”), Sellers and Purchaser agree to proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided however, that $180,000 of the Estimated Purchase Price shall be placed into a separate escrow account maintained in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement (the “Large Customer Agreement Escrow”) to account for Renegotiated Agreement Discounts, if any, (as defined below) and to be released by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement and this Section 2.9 on the first Business Day following the Adjustment Date. To the extent that Purchaser negotiates any Renegotiated Agreement Discounts on or before the Adjustment Date, the Escrow Agent shall release to the Purchaser an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Renegotiated Agreement Discounts on the first Business Day following the Adjustment Date, provided that such amount shall not exceed $180,000 (and Sellers and Purchaser shall timely deliver instructions to such effect to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement). To the extent that the aggregate amount of Renegotiated Agreement Discounts is less than $180,000, the Escrow Agent shall release to Sellers that portion of the Large Customer Agreement Escrow that exceeds the Renegotiated Agreement Discounts on the first Business Day following the Adjustment Date (and Sellers and Purchaser shall timely deliver instructions to such effect to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement). If no Renegotiated Large Customer Agreements are entered into prior to the Adjustment Date, or if such Renegotiated Large Customer Agreements do not contain a Renegotiated Agreement Discount, the Escrow Agent shall release the entire amount of the Large Customer Agreement Escrow to Sellers on the first Business Day following the Adjustment Date (and Sellers and Purchaser shall timely deliver instructions to such effect to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Closing Escrow Agreement).

(b) Following the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to (i) perform under any Encumbered Large Customer Agreement on a subcontract basis to Sellers or pursuant to any other collaboration (reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser) with Sellers and obtain the benefits thereof and (ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate with the applicable counter-party to any such Encumbered Large Customer Agreement a new or amended agreement (any such agreement, a “Renegotiated Large Customer Agreement”) free of the Encumbrances (and Permitted Encumbrances) of the type set forth in Section 2.9(a)(i) and (ii) that causes such Large Customer Agreement to be an Encumbered Large Customer Agreement for purposes hereof. For purposes hereof, a “Renegotiated Agreement Discount” means with, respect to any Renegotiated Large Customer Agreement, the Performing RMR attributable to such Renegotiated Large Customer Agreement which is less than the Performing RMR attributable to the Encumbered Large Customer Agreement replaced thereby, in an amount equal to the product of (i) 50% multiplied by (ii) the difference between (x) 34 multiplied by the Performing RMR attributable to the Encumbered Large Customer Agreement replaced by the Renegotiated Large Customer Agreement minus (y) 34 multiplied by the Performing RMR attributable to such Renegotiated Large Customer Agreement.

From and after the Closing Date for a period of 90 days, Purchaser will conduct the affairs of the Business (including collection practices) in the ordinary course and in a commercially reasonable manner consistent with past practice and will not take any steps that would reasonably be expected to result in customers (i) terminating their contracts for services, (ii) ceasing to pay for services or (iii) paying late for services.

Sellers shall make commercially reasonable efforts to contact all customers who are monitored over cable modem to gain permission and access for such transition. Once Sellers have sent three written notices to each such customer, including at least one notice via certified mail, Sellers will be deemed to have performed their obligations under this Section 9.8(a), regardless of whether each such customer has been successfully transitioned to monitoring over telephone lines. The parties further acknowledge and agree that once Sellers have taken the steps outlined in the previous sentence to contact customers monitored over cable modem, if any such customer does not respond, Sellers shall send a notice to such customer stating that such customer shall no longer be monitored by Sellers.

Sellers shall satisfy their obligation under this Section 12.1 by directing Escrow Agent to deliver to Purchaser a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Amount equal to the amount of any Losses incurred by Purchaser for which Purchaser is entitled to recover from Sellers hereunder. Any indemnification payments to Purchaser under this Agreement shall be made exclusively out of the Indemnification Escrow Amount and Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Sellers’ obligations to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold Purchaser harmless in accordance with this Section 12.1 is without recourse to Sellers’ assets other than the Indemnification Escrow Amount.

(d) Sellers’ obligations to indemnify, defend, reimburse and hold harmless Purchaser in accordance with this Section 12.1 shall terminate on the six month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Indemnification Termination Date”); provided, however, that such obligation to indemnify, defend and hold harmless shall not terminate with respect to any item as to which a covered claim has been made against Purchaser and Purchaser shall have, prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date, made a claim for indemnification by delivering a notice of such claim to Sellers.

(e) In the event Purchaser should have a claim against Sellers under this Section 12.1, Purchaser shall deliver notice of such claim promptly following discovery by Purchaser of such claim to Sellers.
