-4-

 

 

(a)           Cash Portion of the Purchase Price at Closing. At the Closing, the
Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders $896,996, pro rata to each Shareholder
in accordance with the percentage ownership of TRG set forth on Exhibit A
hereto, in immediately available funds by (i) wire transfer to an account
specified by each such Shareholders, or (ii) by a certified or bank cashier’s
check payable to, or upon the order of, each such Shareholder (collectively, the
“Cash Portion of the Purchase Price”).

 

(b)           Purchaser Shares. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay the
remaining $768,853 of the Closing Payment by the issuance by the Purchaser to
the Shareholders of Five Hundred Twelve Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Nine
(512,569) restricted shares of the Purchaser’s common stock (the “Purchaser
Shares”) at a price of $1.50 per share. The Purchaser Shares shall be issued pro
rata to each Shareholder in accordance with the percentage ownership of TRG set
forth on Exhibit A hereto. The Purchaser Shares will be issued free and clear of
all Liens, and will have all rights associated with Purchaser’s common stock
issued to or held by the other shareholders of the Purchaser.

 

(c)           Earn Out.

 

(i)   Calculation and Payment of Earn Out. In addition to the Closing Payment
payable at Closing, the Purchaser shall pay to the Shareholders performance
based compensation (the “Earn Out”) in an amount in cash equal to the following
percentages of TRG’s Gross Profit from the Closing Date through the end of the
sixteenth (16th) quarter following the Closing Date (the “Earn Out Period”) not
to exceed a total of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000):

 

(A)         Twenty Percent (20%) of the amount of TRG’s Gross Profit up to and
including an aggregate of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of Gross Profit
during the Earn Out Period; plus

 

(B)         Seven Percent (7%) of the amount of TRG’s Gross Profit, if any, in
excess of an aggregate of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of Gross Profit
during the Earn Out Period.

 

In the event the Earn Out payments made to shareholders are taxed as ordinary
income for Federal income tax purposes, the Purchaser shall reimburse the
Shareholders for the additional Federal income tax owed on the Earn Out payments
computed at ordinary income tax rates over income tax computed at capital gains
rates.

 

For purposes of the Earn Out, “TRG’s Gross Profit” means the Gross Profit of TRG
conducted as a separate subsidiary of the Purchaser or, if TRG is not operated a
separate subsidiary of the Purchaser, the Gross Profit of the division or other
internal organization of the Purchaser which includes the business formerly
conducted by TRG.

 

-5-

 

 

The Earn Out shall be calculated quarterly on the last day of each quarter then
ended, and shall be paid by the fifteenth (15th) day of the first month of the
immediately succeeding quarter. The Earn Out shall be paid pro rata to each
Shareholder in accordance with the percentage ownership of TRG set forth on
Exhibit A hereto. If the Closing Date does not occur on the last day of a
quarter, the Gross Profit for the number of days from the Closing Date to the
commencement of the next quarter shall be included in the Earn Out calculation
for such first quarter.

 

With each quarterly payment of the Earn Out, the Purchaser shall deliver to each
Shareholder a statement detailing the calculation of the payment based on TRG’s
Gross Profit during the applicable quarter (the “Earn Out Statement”). Upon the
written request of the Shareholders, the Shareholders will have the right, at
their expense and for the term of the Earn Out Period, and for one (1) calendar
year thereafter, to have a single independent certified public accountant
representing all of the Shareholders (the “Auditor”) inspect the Purchaser’s
records for the preceding two (2) calendar years for the purpose of determining
the accuracy of the Earn Out Statement and the associated payments made to the
Shareholders pursuant to this Agreement. The selection of the auditor must be
acceptable to both the Purchaser and the Shareholders. The Purchaser will permit
the Auditor, upon reasonable prior written notice, to have access during normal
business hours to such records of the Purchaser as may be reasonably necessary
to verify the Purchaser’s compliance with the Earn Out payments due hereunder.
In the event the Auditor reasonably determines that there was an underpayment of
the Earn Out to the Shareholders for any period, the Purchaser will pay such
underpayment within thirty (30) days after the date the Purchaser receives such
Auditor’s written report. In the event the Auditor reasonably determines that
there was an overpayment of the Earn Out for any period, the overpayment will be
credited toward future payments of the Earn Out to be paid by the Purchaser to
the Shareholders under this Agreement, provided, however, that in the event no
further payments of the Earn Out will become due under this Agreement, said
overpayment will be paid by the Shareholders to the Purchaser within thirty (30)
days after the date the Shareholders receive such Auditor’s written report. If
the underpayment of the Earn Out is greater than five percent (5%) of the Earn
Out determined by the Auditor to be payable to the Shareholders, the reasonable
fees and expenses charged by the Auditor will be paid by the Purchaser;
otherwise the fees and expenses charged by such Auditor shall be paid by the
Shareholders.

 

(ii)          Adjustment to Earn Out. The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that
the following events (“Adjustment Events”) may have a negative impact on TRG’s
Gross Profit . The Purchaser further acknowledges that the actual damages likely
to result from an Adjustment Event are difficult to estimate on the date of this
Agreement and would be difficult for the Shareholders to prove. Therefore, the
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, upon the occurrence of an Adjustment
Event, the Purchaser shall pay the Shareholders, pro rata, an amount equal to
$1.0 Million less the amount of any Earn Out previously paid to the Shareholders
(the “Adjustment Amount”). Additionally, the Purchaser agrees to pay any
reasonable legal fees of the Shareholders in connection with the collection of
any Earn Out. The Parties intend that the Purchaser’s payment of the Adjustment
Amount would serve to compensate the Shareholders for any Adjustment Event, and
they do not intend for it to serve as a penalty to the Purchaser for any such
Adjustment Event.

 

-6-

 

 

For purposes of this Section, the occurrence of any of the following events
constitutes an “Adjustment Event”:

 

(a)  The failure of the Purchaser to pay any Earn Out amount due, and such
failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after the due date;

 

(b)  The failure of the Purchaser to perform, keep or observe any term,
provision, condition, covenant, warranty or representation contained in this
Agreement;

 

(c)  Any warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the

transactions contemplated under this Agreement proves at any time to be not true
and correct in any material respect.

 

(d)  The occurrence of any breach by the Purchaser of its obligations under the
Employment Agreement, including without limitation the failure to pay Mark P.
Aiello the required compensation thereunder.

 

(e)  The occurrence of any event that would give Mark P. Aiello the right to
terminate the Employment Agreement for “Good Reason” (as defined therein); or
the termination by the Purchaser of the Employment Agreement without “Cause” (as
defined therein).

 

(f)  the Purchaser, or TRG for so long as TRG is operated as a separate company
from the Purchaser, shall (i) apply for or consent to the appointment of a
receiver, conservator, trustee or liquidator of all or a substantial part of any
of its assets; (ii) be unable, or admit in writing its inability, to pay its
debts as they mature; (iii) file or permit the filing of any petition, case,
arrangement, reorganization, or the like under any insolvency or bankruptcy law,
or the adjudication of it as a bankrupt, or the making of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or the consenting to any form of arrangement for the
satisfaction, settlement or delay of debt or the appointment of a receiver for
all or any part of its properties; or (iv) take any action for the purpose of
effecting any of the foregoing.

 

(g)  An order, judgment or decree shall be entered, or a case shall be
commenced, against the Purchaser or TRG without the application, approval or
consent of the Purchaser or TRG, as applicable, by or in any court of competent
jurisdiction, approving a petition or permitting the commencement of a case
seeking reorganization or liquidation of the Purchaser or TRG, or appointing a
receiver, trustee, conservator or liquidator of the Purchaser or TRG, or of all
or a substantial part of their respective assets and the Purchaser or TRG, as
applicable, by any act, indicates its approval thereof, consent thereto, or
acquiescence therein, or such order, judgment, decree or case shall continue
unstayed and in effect for any period of thirty (30) consecutive days.

 

(h)  The dissolution, termination of existence of the Purchaser or TRG.

 

-7-

 

 

2.3           Employment Agreement. In addition to the payment of the Purchase
Price, the Purchaser and Mark Aiello will enter into an employment agreement, in
form and substance satisfactory to them (the “Employment Agreement”).

 

2.4           Closing. The purchase and sale of the Shares and the consummation
of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall
occur on such date, hour and place as shall be agreed upon in writing by the
Shareholders and the Purchaser, but not later than thirty (30) days from the
date of this Agreement (unless said date is otherwise mutually extended in
writing by the parties), upon fulfillment of all (or waiver in writing of
certain) conditions precedent to the Closing, said date being generally referred
to as the “Closing Date.” The Purchaser hereby agrees that it will pay to each
Shareholder any increase in amounts such Shareholder is required to pay to any
entity or governmental authority in connection with an increase in any state,
local or federal taxes (“Required Payments”), to the extent that such amounts
are in excess of the Required Payments that would have been payable by such
Shareholder if the Closing Date had occurred on or prior to December 31, 2012
(the “Increased Amounts”).

 

2.5           Other Payments at Closing. If necessary, at the Closing the
Parties shall make such payments to each other as the Parties may agree prior to
the Closing in order to address certain issues, including without limitation,
balance sheet items, and such issues as Excluded Liabilities, reimbursement of
prepaid expenses, and timing of collection of accounts receivable.

 

ARTICLE III

Each of the Shareholders severally hereby represents and warrants to the
Purchaser, as to such Shareholder and his or her respective Shares, that:

ARTICLE IV

 

Representations and Warranties

Concerning TRG

 

The Parties acknowledge that the Disclosure Schedules have not been completed as

the representations and warranties contained in this Article IV as of such date.
It is a condition precedent to the Closing of the purchase and sale of the

certifying the same:

 

4.1           Organization and Good Standing. TRG has been duly organized and is
validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts with full power and authority to own or lease its
properties and to conduct its business as currently conducted. TRG is duly
qualified, licensed or admitted to do business as a foreign corporation and is
in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the operation of its business or
the ownership of its assets requires it to be so qualified, licensed, admitted
or in good standing. Schedule 4.1 lists all of the jurisdictions in which TRG is
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation.

 

4.2           Subsidiaries. TRG has no Subsidiaries.

 

4.3           No Conflicts. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.3, the execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) conflict with or result in a
breach or violation of any term or provision of, or constitute a default under,
the charter or bylaws of TRG or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan
agreement, or other agreement or instrument to which TRG is a party or by which
TRG is bound or to which any of the property or assets of TRG is subject or (ii)
violate or conflict with any law or order to which TRG is subject.

 

-9-

 

 

4.4           Capitalization. The authorized, issued and outstanding capital
stock of TRG consists solely of those Shares shown on Exhibit A hereto. At the
Closing, the Shares shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity
securities of TRG. The Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and
are outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. The Company holds no treasury
stock. There are no outstanding options, warrants, rights (including conversion
or preemptive rights and rights of first refusal or similar rights) or
agreements, orally or in writing, to purchase or acquire from TRG any shares of
any class of capital stock, or any securities or other instruments convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of capital stock of TRG, and no commitments to
issue any such securities or instruments.

 

4.5           Financial Statements.

 

(a)           TRG maintains its financial information and creates its financial
statements with the use of “QuickBooks” software program. TRG has delivered to

Statements, the “Financial Statements”). The 2009 Annual Financial Statements
have been reviewed by Ryter & Company, P.C., and the 2010 and 2011 Annual
Financial Statements have been compiled by Shuman & Epstein, LLC, accountants
for TRG.

 

(b)           The Financial Statements (including in all cases the notes
thereto, if any) are accurate and complete in all material respects, have been

ARTICLE VIII

 

Indemnification

 

8.1           Survival of Representations and Warranties.

 

All representations and warranties of the Shareholders in Article III shall
survive the Closing and shall terminate four (4) years from the Closing Date and
thereafter shall be of no force or effect except for any claim with respect to
which notice has been given to the party to be charged prior to such expiration
date. All representations and warranties of TRG contained in this Agreement
shall survive the Closing and shall terminate twelve (12) months from the
Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”) and thereafter shall be of no force or
effect, except for any claim with respect to which notice has been given to the
party to be charged prior to such expiration date; provided, however, that any
representations and warranties that are proven to have been fraudulently made
shall not expire on the Expiration Date; provided further that representations
of Section 4.10 (Income and Other Taxes) and 4.11 (Employee Benefit Matters)
shall expire upon the termination of any applicable statutes of limitations.

 

8.2           Indemnification.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including without
limitation the floor and cap on indemnification set forth in Section 8.2(c), the
Shareholders agree to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless, Purchaser, TRG,
its officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives from and against
any loss, cost, expense, liability, claim or legal damages (including, without
limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively,
“Damages”) arising out of or resulting from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of
any representation and warranty of TRG or any Shareholder (but only with respect
to such Shareholder) in this Agreement; or (ii) any failure of TRG or any
Shareholder (but only with respect to such Shareholder) to perform or observe
fully any covenant, agreement or provision to be performed or observed by it
pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)           Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Purchaser agrees to
indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless, the Shareholders, TRG, its officers,
directors, employees, agents, and representatives from and against any Damages
arising out of or resulting from: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any
representation and warranty of the Purchaser in this Agreement; or (ii) any
failure of the Purchaser to perform or observe fully any covenant, agreement or
provision to be performed or observed by it pursuant to this Agreement.

 

-22-

 

 

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) no
claim shall be made for indemnification under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b)
unless and until the Damages exceed $25,000 in the aggregate, in which event the
party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall be
entitled to indemnification from party obligated to provide indemnification
hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) for the entire amount of such Damages from
the first dollar; (ii) the aggregate amount of any claims for indemnification
made by the Purchaser shall not exceed the total of the Cash Portion of the
Purchase Price, plus any Earn Out paid as of the date of such claim; and (iii)
with respect to each Shareholder, the amount of any indemnification payable by
such Shareholder shall not exceed such Shareholder’s pro rata portion of amounts
set forth in clause (ii) above received by such Shareholder. Any indemnification
based on claims by the Purchaser which are finally established to be due and
payable, shall be paid first by applying such amounts against any Earn Out due
or to become due under this Agreement, then by returning the number of Purchaser
Shares necessary to satisfy the claim.

 

(d)           The Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of any claim for
indemnity under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), as applicable, in writing to
the Indemnifying Party promptly after a discovery by the Indemnified Party of
such claim, setting forth with reasonable specificity the amount claimed and the
underlying facts supporting such claim to the extent known by the Indemnifying
Party; provided however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to so notify
the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its
obligation to indemnify under this Agreement unless the claim arises from a
third party and the rights of the Indemnifying Party are thereby materially
prejudiced. The Indemnifying Party shall have fifteen (15) days to accept or
dispute such claim. Any undisputed claims shall be satisfied within such fifteen
(15) day period. Any disputes that the parties are not mutually able to resolve
within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnifying Party has disputed the claim (or
the end of such fifteen (15) day period, whichever is earlier), shall be finally
settled by arbitration in New York, New York, in accordance with the Commercial
Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association in force at such time,
and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction thereof. This agreement to arbitrate shall be specifically
enforceable and following the Closing shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of
the Indemnified Party for the resolution of any disputes related to the subject
matter of this Agreement; provided however that such agreement to arbitrate,
such exclusive remedy or the limitations on liability set forth herein shall not
preclude the Indemnified Party from pursuing any claim for rescission based upon
fraud that induces Indemnified Party into entering into this Agreement, or claim
for injunctive relief which the parties may make in any court of competent
jurisdiction.

 

(e)           After receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of the
commencement of any action or other claim by a third party that may give rise to
a claim of indemnity hereunder (a “third party claim”), the Indemnified Party
will, in a timely manner, notify the Indemnifying Party of the third party
claim, but the failure to notify Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the
Indemnifying Party of its obligation to indemnify under this Agreement unless
the lack of timeliness materially prejudices the Indemnifying Party’s ability to
defend against such third party claim. After receipt of such notice the
Indemnifying Party shall, in a timely manner, undertake the defense or
settlement of such third party claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party (who shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified
Party, be counsel to the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnifying Party shall not
settle any such action without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld.
