shares of Buyer common stock (collectively, the “Buyer

      2.2         Adjustments
to the Purchase Price.  For purposes hereof the following terms
shall have the meanings ascribed below:

      


      “Estimated Net
Working Capital” means the Net Working Capital, as set forth on the
Estimated Working Capital Schedule.

      


      “Estimated Working
Capital Schedule” means the draft schedule of the Net Working Capital as
of the Closing Date, prepared and delivered by Sellers at Closing.

      


      “Final Working
Capital Schedule” means the schedule of the Net Working Capital as of the
Closing Date, which shall be in the same format as the Estimated Working Capital
Schedule and will include a calculation of the Net Working Capital, as finally
determined pursuant to Section 2.2(b), and the Working Capital Deficit or
Working Capital Surplus, if any.

      


      “Net Working
Capital” means the current assets less the current liabilities of PPC as
of the close of business on the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with PPC’s
past custom and practice.

      


      “Target Working
Capital” means an amount equal to $1,077,168.

      


      “Working Capital
Deficit” means the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital
reflected on the Final Working Capital Schedule is less than the Estimated Net
Working Capital, taking into consideration any adjustment already made at
Closing.

      


      “Working Capital
Surplus” means the amount, if any, by which the Net Working Capital
reflected on the Final Working Capital Schedule is more than the Estimated Net
Working Capital, taking into consideration any adjustment already made at
Closing.

      


      (a)             Buyer
shall prepare and within thirty (30) days following Closing deliver to the
Sellers’ Agent the Final Working Capital Schedule. Buyer shall provide Sellers’
Agent and his accounting and tax representatives, at Sellers’ sole cost and
expense, with access to the books and records of PPC for purposes of validating
the Final Working Capital Schedule.  In the absence of any objections
from the Sellers’ Agent within thirty (30) days following delivery of such
calculation, Buyer’s determination of the Final Working Capital Schedule shall
be conclusive, final and binding on the parties for purposes of determining the
Net Working Capital, Working Capital Surplus and Working Capital Deficit but
shall not affect any of Sellers’ or Buyer’s rights under this Agreement,
including without limitation under Article VIII.  If Sellers’
Agent objects to the Final Working Capital Schedule within thirty (30) days
following receipt of such calculation from Buyer, Sellers’ Agent shall deliver a
written dispute notice to Buyer which shall set forth the specific line items in
dispute and provide the basis for such dispute in reasonable
detail.  If, after ten (10) days from the date notice of a dispute is
given hereunder, Sellers’ Agent and Buyer cannot agree on the resolution of all
of the disputed items, the Final Working Capital Schedule shall be adjusted to
the extent of any items that are not in dispute, and the items still in dispute
shall be referred to a public accounting firm acceptable to both Sellers’ Agent
and Buyer (the “Unrelated
Accounting Firm”) to resolve the dispute,
whose decision as to the issues in dispute shall be conclusive, final and
binding upon Sellers and Buyer for purposes of this Agreement.  The
Unrelated Accounting Firm shall address only those issues in dispute in
accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2(a) and 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.  Upon finalizing the Final Working Capital Schedule, either by
agreement or by the Unrelated Accounting Firm, to the extent there is a Working
Capital Surplus, Buyer will pay Sellers an amount equal to such Working Capital
Surplus within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Final Working Capital
Schedule.  If such Working Capital Surplus is not paid within such
fifteen (15) day period, then interest shall accrue and be due and payable from
Buyer on the Working Capital Surplus from and including Closing through and
including the date of payment at Prime Rate plus eight percent (8%) per
annum.

      (b)           To
the extent there is a Working Capital Deficit, within fifteen (15) days
following the delivery of the Final Working Capital Schedule, Sellers will pay
to Buyer in cash (by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
designated by Buyer) the amount of the Working Capital Deficit. If such amounts
are not paid within such fifteen (15) day period, then interest shall accrue and
be due and payable from Sellers on such amounts from and including Closing
through and including the date of payment at Prime Rate plus eight percent (8%)
per annum.

      


      (c)           Any
payments, distributions, or bonuses made after December 31, 2009 made to Sellers
or officers outside the Ordinary Course of Business (as defined below), will at
the time of closing be subject to a deduction of such amount from the Purchase
Price. For purposes of this Agreement, “Ordinary
Course of Business” means, when used with respect to any Person, the
ordinary course of business of such Person, consistent with past custom and
practice of such Person (including with respect to quantity and
frequency).

      4.7           Taxes.  PPC has
filed all tax returns for all Governmental Entities required to be filed by it
and has paid, or made provision for payment of, all taxes required to be paid by
it to the extent such taxes have become due.  All liabilities for
unpaid federal, state and local taxes accrued on a tax basis in accordance with
PPC’s past practice are reflected on the books of PPC and the Financial
Statements.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.7 of the
Disclosure Schedules, (i) no deficiency for any taxes has been proposed,
asserted or assessed, in writing, with respect to PPC, and to the Sellers’
knowledge there is no basis for any such deficiencies and no requests for
waivers of the time to assess any such taxes are pending, and (ii) no
examination of the tax returns of PPC is currently in progress. For the purposes
of this Agreement, the term “tax” shall include all federal, state, local and
foreign income, property, sales, use, franchise, value added, employees’ income
withholding, social security, excise and all other taxes of any nature
whatsoever. PPC is not a “consenting corporation” within the meaning of Section
341 (f)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  PPC has
withheld or collected and paid to the proper governmental body  all
taxes required to be withheld, collected or paid by it.  In the last
three (3) years, no claim has been made in writing by any Governmental Entity in
a jurisdiction where PPC does not file tax returns that it is or could be
subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, nor to Sellers’ knowledge is there any
reasonable basis for such a claim.

      


      4.8           Title to
Properties.  PPC has valid leases or good and marketable title
to all material properties and assets it owns or uses in the Business or
purports to own, free and clear of any Encumbrances except, with respect to all
such assets, the following Encumbrances (collectively, “Permitted
Encumbrances”):  (a) Encumbrances securing debt reflected
as liabilities in the Financial Statements, which Encumbrances are listed in
Schedule 4.8 of
the Disclosure Schedules; (b) mechanics’, carriers’, workers’, repairmen’s,
statutory or common law liens being contested in good faith and by appropriate
proceedings, whether or not listed in Schedule 4.8 of the
Disclosure Schedules; (c) obligations for current taxes not yet due and payable
which have been fully reserved against, or which, if due, are being contested in
good faith and by appropriate proceedings, which contested liens are listed in
Schedule 4.8 of
the Disclosure Schedules; (d) such imperfections of title, easements and
Encumbrances, if any, against the Leased Real Property as are set forth in the
Leases or which are not, individually or in the aggregate, substantial in
character, amount or extent, and do not, individually or in the aggregate,
materially interfere with the present use of the Leased Real Property or
otherwise have an Material Adverse Effect; and (e) those additional Encumbrances
listed in Schedule
4.8 of the Disclosure Schedules.

      4.9           Leased Real
Property.  PPC does not own any real property and, instead,
leases real property as a tenant.  Schedule 4.9 of the
Disclosure Schedules is a true, correct and complete list of all real property
leased, operated or used by PPC  (collectively, the “Leased Real
Property”).  PPC has delivered to Buyer a true and complete
copy of each of the leases for the Leased Real Property.

      


      4.10           Schedules.  Attached
as Schedule
4.10 of the Disclosure Schedules are separate schedules, each containing
an accurate and complete list of each of the following:

      


      (a)           Personal
Property.  Schedule 4.10(a) of
the Disclosure Schedule lists all machinery, tools, equipment, motor vehicles,
and other tangible personal property (other than inventory and supplies), owned,
leased or used by PPC except for (i) items having a value of less than $5,000.00
or (ii) items which (in the case of any item leased) payments to the owner
thereof do not exceed $10,000.00 per annum.  Except as otherwise set
forth on Schedule

have acquired sufficient information about Buyer to reach an informed and
knowledgeable decision to acquire the Buyer Stock.  Sellers have had

and not as a nominee or agent and not with a view to, or in connection with, any

      (c)           Sellers
understand that the Buyer Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act
or any applicable state security law in reliance upon specific exemptions
therefrom, which exemptions depend upon, among other things, upon the bona fide

further understands that the Buyer Stock must be held indefinitely unless
subsequently registered or qualified under the Securities Act and such laws or
unless exemptions from such registration and qualification are otherwise
available.

      


      (d)           Each
Seller is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under
the Act.

      


      4.28           Disclaimer of Other Representations

warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Sellers make no representation or warranty regarding any matter

      ARTICLE
V

      REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

      


      Buyer hereby represents and warrants to
Sellers, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, as
follows:

      


      5.1           Organization.  Buyer
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the State of New York and has all requisite corporate power and
authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business
substantially as it is now being conducted.

      


      5.2           Authority.  Neither
the execution, delivery, nor performance of this Agreement by Buyer will, with
or without the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, conflict with,
result in a default, right to accelerate, or loss of rights under, or result in
the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance pursuant to, any provision of
Buyer’s Certificate of Incorporation, By-Laws, or any franchise, mortgage, deed
of trust, lease, license, agreement, understanding, law, regulation, or any
order, judgment or decree to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer or its
assets may be bound or affected.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by Buyer, and constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its
terms.

      5.3           SEC Filings; Financial
Statements.  Buyer has furnished or made available to Sellers a
correct and complete copy of Buyer’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the
SEC with respect to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, and each Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q, Current Report on Form 8-K, other report, schedule,
registration statement, and definitive proxy statement filed by Buyer with the
SEC on or after the date of filing of the Form 10-K which are all the documents
(other than preliminary material) that Buyer was required to file (or otherwise
did file) with the SEC in accordance with Sections 13, 14 and 15(d) of the
Exchange Act on or after the date of filing with the SEC of the Form 10-K
(collectively, the “Buyer SEC
Documents”).  As of their respective filings dates, or in the
case of registration statements, their respective effective times, none of the
Buyer SEC Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto and documents
incorporated by reference therein) contained any untrue statement of a material
fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, and the Buyer SEC Documents complied
when filed, or in the case of registration statements, as of their respective
effective times, in all material respects with the then applicable requirements
of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the case may be, and the rules and
regulations promulgated by the SEC thereunder.  Each set of
consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any related notes
thereto) contained in the Buyer SEC Documents was prepared in accordance with
GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved (except as
may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements,
do not contain footnotes as permitted by Form 10-Q of the Exchange Act) and each
fairly presents the consolidated financial position of Buyer and its
subsidiaries at the respective dates thereof and the consolidated results of its
operations and cash flows for the periods indicated, except that the unaudited
interim financial statements were or are subject to normal year-end adjustments
(the effect of which will not, individually or in the aggregate, be materially
adverse).

      


      5.4           Investment.  The
Buyer is not acquiring the PPC Shares with a view to or for sale in connection
with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities
Act.

      


      5.5           Buyer Shares. The Buyer Shares and
additional Buyer common stock provided hereunder, when issued and delivered in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free and clear of all rights of first
refusal, preemptive rights and Encumbrances other than resale restrictions under
applicable securities laws.

      


      5.6           Disclaimer of Other Representations
and Warranties. Except as expressly set
forth in this Article V, Buyer makes no representation or warranty, express or
implied, at law or in equity, with respect to any of its assets, liabilities or
operations, including, without limitation, with respect to merchantability or
fitness for any particular purpose, and any such other representations or
warranties are hereby expressly disclaimed. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Buyer make no representation or warranty regarding any matter
unless specifically set forth herein and none shall be implied at law or in
equity.

      6.2           Public
Announcements.  Prior to the Closing Date, the parties will
advise and confer with each other prior to the issuance of any reports,
statements or releases (including reports, statements or releases to its
respective employees) pertaining to this Agreement and any transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.  Nothing contained herein, however,
shall prohibit any party from making any public statement required to be made by
such party as a matter of law, provided that any such statement is provided to
other party for review in advance of any disclosure or filing.

      


      6.3           Further
Assurances.  Each party hereby agrees to execute and deliver
such instruments and take such other actions as any other party may reasonably
require in order to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

Statements.  Within sixty (60) days of the Closing, the Sellers
shall make good faith efforts to cause PPC’s current accounting firm to prepare
and deliver audited financial statements of PPC for the calendar years ending
December 31, 2008 and 2009. Buyer shall reimburse Sellers for any and all costs
incurred by Sellers in connection with the preparation of such financial
statements.

      


      6.5           Confidentiality; Restrictive
Covenants.

      


      (a)           The
parties acknowledge that the value of confidential information developed by PPC
is attributable substantially to the fact that such information is maintained by
PPC in the strictest confidentiality and secrecy and is not available to others
without the expenditure of substantial time, effort and
money.  Sellers acknowledge that Buyer and PPC would be irreparably
damaged if PPC’s confidential knowledge were disclosed to or utilized on behalf
of Sellers or any other person, firm, corporation or other business organization
which engages in the design, research, development, manufacture, promotion,
marketing, distribution and/or sale of products or services of the type
designed, developed, manufactured, promoted, marketed, provided, distributed
and/or sold by PPC or products or services which compete with such
products,  and Sellers jointly and severally covenant and agree that
they shall not at any time, and shall ensure that their respective affiliates,
associates (as the terms “affiliate” and “associate” are defined by the rules
and regulations promulgated under the Securities Act ) or any other person whose
behavior can be controlled by Seller (a “Controlled
Person”) shall not at any time, without the prior written consent of
Buyer, disclose or use any such confidential information.  For
purposes of this Agreement, (i) a product or service “competes with” a product
of PPC if such product can be substituted for any product or service, or any
part thereof, designed, manufactured, promoted, marketed, provided, distributed
and/or sold by PPC, and (ii) a business “engages in competition” with PPC if it
designs, manufactures, promotes, markets, provides, distributes or sells any
such product or service.

      (b)           To
further secure the interests of Buyer hereunder, Sellers jointly and severally
covenant and agree that for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date,
neither Sellers nor any of their respective, affiliates, associates and
Controlled Persons shall, directly or indirectly, engage in competition with, or
directly or indirectly perform services (as employee, manager, consultant,
independent contractor, advisor or otherwise) for any business, or own any
equity interest in any enterprise (other than an aggregate of not more than one
percent (1%) of the stock issued by any publicly held corporation) that engages
in competition with PPC or any of its affiliates anywhere in North
America.   In addition, during such period, neither Seller shall
(and shall assure that none of their respective employees, affiliates,
associates or Controlled Persons shall) directly or indirectly solicit, raid or
entice, or otherwise induce any customer of PPC or any of its affiliates to
cease doing business therewith or to do business with a competitor with respect
to products or services that are competitive with the products or services of
PPC or any of its affiliates.

      


      (c)           To
further secure the interests of Buyer, Sellers jointly and severally agree that
for a period of five (5) years from the Closing Date, neither Seller shall (and
shall assure that none of their respective, affiliates, associates or Controlled
Persons shall), directly or indirectly, solicit for employment, offer employment
to, or employ for its own account or the account of any other person, any person
who is on the Closing Date or thereafter becomes an employee or consultant of
PPC or any of its affiliates.

      


      (d)           To
further secure the interests of Buyer hereunder, Sellers jointly and severally
agree that neither Seller shall (and shall assure that none of their respective,
affiliates, associates or Controlled Persons shall) at any time disparage the
business reputation, products or services of PPC or any of its
affiliates.

      


      (e)           Sellers
agree that the provisions of this Section 6.5 are reasonable in scope and
duration and necessary to protect the interests of Buyer in confidential
information.  Sellers agree that, in addition to any other rights or
remedies which Buyer may have, Buyer shall be entitled to injunctive and other
equitable relief to prevent a breach of this Section 6.5 by Sellers, including a
temporary restraining order or an injunction from any court of competent
jurisdiction restraining any threatened or actual violation, and Sellers consent
to the entry of such an order and injunctive relief and waive the making of a
bond or undertaking as a condition for obtaining such relief.

      


      6.6           Tax Matters.

      


      (a)           Final Tax Returns. Within
thirty (30) days of the Closing Date, the Buyers shall prepare, at Buyer’s sole
cost and expense, all income tax returns to be filed for PPC’s tax year
commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on the Closing Date and provide the
same to Sellers’ Agent for review and approval (collectively, the “Final Tax
Returns”).  Notwithstanding anything herein to contrary, Buyer
may not amend any of PPC’s tax returns filed or prepared prior to the Closing
Date without the prior written consent of Sellers’ Agent.  Sellers
covenant and agree that they shall remit immediately available funds equal to
all taxes that are shown as due on such Final Tax Returns and Sellers and Buyer
shall cause any distribution to be made to Sellers in an amount sufficient to
satisfy any tax liability incurred by Sellers for the tax year commencing
January 1, 2010 and ending as of the Closing Date.  The Final Tax
Return for the period from January 1, 2010 through the Closing Date shall
be prepared (i) using the "closing-of-the-books" method of allocation, wherein
it would be presumed that the books of PPC would be closed as of the Closing
Date and (ii) in accordance with Section 6.6(b) below.  If within
forty-five (45) days after receiving a copy of the Final Tax Return for the tax
year commencing January 1, 2010 and ending as of the Closing
Date,  Sellers’ Agent does not object thereto or otherwise consents
thereto, Buyer shall file such Final Tax Return with the appropriate
Governmental Entity.  Buyer shall accept all reasonable comments of
Sellers’ Agent made to such Final Tax Return.  Sellers shall have no
responsibility to Buyer for any taxes imposed upon PPC for any time period prior
to the Closing Date by reason of Buyer’s decision to cause PPC to file amended
tax returns to increase or otherwise change the taxable income of PPC for any
such periods.

      (b)           Computation and Payment of
Taxes.  Buyer will indemnify and hold Sellers harmless from and
against, without duplication, any loss, claim, liability, expense or other
damage attributable to all taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of PPC for the
period of time after the Closing Date and for all taxes included in the Final
Working Capital Schedule.  Any other provision of this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, this Section 6.6 shall survive until the
sixtieth (60th) day
following expiration of the statute of limitations on collection of the
applicable tax.

      


      (c)             Tax Return
Preparation.  Buyer, Sellers and Sellers’ Agent shall cooperate
fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other parties, in
connection with the filing of any tax returns, and any audit, litigation or
other proceeding with respect to taxes.  Such cooperation shall
include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of
records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such tax return, or
any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on
a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of
any material provided hereunder.  Buyer, the Sellers and Sellers’
Agent agree (i) to retain or cause to be retained all books and records with
respect to tax matters pertinent to PPC relating to any tax period beginning
before the Closing Date until the expiration of the applicable statute of
limitations (and, to the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers’ Agent, any
extensions thereof) of the respective tax periods, and to abide by all record
retention agreements entered into with any tax authority, (ii) to provide to the
other party, upon request, all books and records with respect to tax matters
pertinent to PPC relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing
Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent
notified by Buyer or Sellers’ Agent, any extensions thereof) of the respective
periods, and (iii) to give the other parties reasonable written notice prior to
transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if any of
the other parties so requests, the other parties shall allow such requesting
party to take possession of such books and records.

      


      6.7           Certain Taxes and
Fees.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp,
registration and other such taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges
and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement shall be paid by Buyer when due, and Buyer will file all necessary Tax
returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and
charges.  The expense of such filings shall be paid by
Buyer.

      


      6.8           S-3 Registration Statement; 10b5-1
Plan; Late Payments.

       

      (a)           Buyer
will use its best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”)
within thirty (30) days of Closing, a Form S-3 Registration Statement (the
“Registration
Statement”) to register the resale of the Buyer Shares issued to Sellers
pursuant to this Agreement.  Buyer shall prepare and provide Sellers
and their counsel an opportunity to review and provide comments to the
Registration Statement before it is filed with the SEC.  Buyer will
use its best efforts to ensure effectiveness of the Registration Statement
within one hundred twenty (120) days from Closing.

      (b)           If
the Registration Statement contemplated herein has not been declared effective
by the SEC before the date that is one hundred twenty (120) days after the
Closing Date (the “Effectiveness
Deadline”), Buyer will pay to Sellers on the Effectiveness Deadline the
sum of $5,000 (a “Late
Payment”). If the Registration Statement has not been declared effective
before the one month anniversary of the Effectiveness Deadline, Buyer will pay
to Sellers an additional Late Payment.  Thereafter, Buyer will make an
additional Late Payment to Sellers on each subsequent monthly anniversary of the
Effectiveness Deadline, if the Registration Statement has not been declared
effective before such monthly anniversary of the Effectiveness
Deadline.

      


      (c)           Within
three (3) days of written request by Sellers’ Agent (subject to the Registration
Statement being declared effective by the SEC) (“Implementation
Deadline”), the Buyer shall implement the Rule 10b5-1 Plan in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A the “Sellers’ 10b5-1
Plan”) to allow the Buyer Shares issued to Sellers pursuant to the terms
of this Agreement to be sold on the open market as part of a regular selling
program.  If the Sellers’ 10b5-1 Plan is not filed by the
Implementation Deadline, the Buyer shall pay Sellers a Late Payment, except to
the extent the 10b5-1 Plan was not filed at Sellers’
election.  Thereafter, the Buyer will make additional Late Payments to
Sellers on each subsequent weekly (seven day week) anniversary of the
Implementation Deadline, if the 10b5-1 Plan has not been implemented before such
weekly anniversary of the Implementation Deadline.

      


      (d)           The
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that each Late Payment shall be made in
immediately available funds to Sellers in accordance with the written directions
provided by Sellers’ Agent.  If any payments are not paid within the
prescribed time period, then interest shall accrue and be due and payable from
Buyer on such amount from and including the due date through and including the
date of payment at eight percent (8%) per annum.

      


      6.9           Issuance of Additional Shares of
Buyer Common Stock for Sellers’ Increased Income Tax
Liability.

      


      (a)           If
the Internal Revenue Service or other state or local income tax authority
implements changes to the income (or other) tax rates that would have the effect
of increasing the tax liability of Sellers (on a retroactive basis) as a result
of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, then Buyer shall pay Sellers
(in additional shares of Buyer common stock or cash) the difference between the
estimated income tax liability of Sellers as of the Closing Date prior to change
in tax rates and the new tax liability of Sellers as result of any tax rate
change (the “Sellers’
Increased Tax Liability Payment”).  As soon as practicable
after any such change in tax rates, Sellers’ Agent shall prepare and deliver to
Buyer a written statement calculating (with reasonable detail) Sellers’ tax
liability prior to any such tax rate change, Sellers’ tax liability as a result
of the tax rate change and a calculation of Sellers’ Increased Tax Liability
Payment (the “Increased Tax
Liability Statement”).  Within three (3) days of receipt of the
Increased Tax Liability Statement, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers’ Agent a
written statement with any good faith objections thereto.  Unless
Buyer objects within such period, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted and
agreed to the Increased Tax Liability Statement and the same shall be final and
binding on the parties.  If Buyer objects then the Unrelated
Accounting Firm shall resolve any such dispute, whose decision as to the issues
in dispute shall be conclusive, final and binding upon Sellers and Buyer for
purposes hereof.  The Unrelated Accounting Firm shall address only
those issues in dispute.  Any payment due by Buyer hereunder shall be
paid within ten (10) days after final determination.  If not paid
within such time period, then interest shall accrue and be due and payable from
Buyer on such amount from and including the due date through and including the
date of payment at four percent (4%) per annum.  If Buyer elects to
make payment in the form of additional shares of Buyer common stock, then the
number of shares to be issued by Buyer shall be determined by dividing the
amount of Sellers’ Increased Tax Liability Payment by the lesser of (i) $2.00,
or (ii) the average closing price of Buyer’s common stock over the thirty (30)
trading day period immediately prior to the date of final determination of the
payment amount multiplied by 0.80.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that
all such shares issued to Sellers under this Section shall be included, upon the
request of Sellers’ Agent, in the Registration Statement discussed above (as
part of the original filing and effectiveness or by
amendment  thereto).  In addition, on the request of
Sellers’ Agent, Buyer will make best efforts to implement a Rule 10b5-1 plan
substantially similar to the 10b5-1 Plan described above to allow such
additional shares issued to Sellers to be sold on the open market as part of a
regular selling program.  Buyer acknowledges that the provision
regarding Late Payments shall be applicable to the additional shares issued
under this Section.

      (b)           Buyer
will use its best efforts to file with the SEC within thirty (30) days after the
issuance of the shares under Section 6.9(a), a Form S-3 Registration Statement
to register the resale of all such shares issued to Sellers
thereunder.  Buyer shall prepare and provide Sellers and their counsel
an opportunity to review and provide comments to such registration statement
before it is filed with the SEC.  Buyer will use its best efforts to
ensure effectiveness of the Registration Statement within one hundred twenty
(120) days from Closing.  If the registration statement contemplated
herein has not been declared effective by the SEC before the date that is one
hundred twenty (120) days after the issuance date, Buyer will pay to Sellers the
a Late Payment. Thereafter, Buyer will make an additional Late Payment to
Sellers on each subsequent monthly anniversary of the issuance date, if the
registration statement has not been declared effective before such monthly
anniversary of the issuance date.

      8.5           Notice of Claims.

      


      Except as
provided in Section 8.6, if any Buyer Indemnitee or Sellers Indemnitee (an
“Indemnified
Party”) believes that it has suffered or incurred any Losses for which it
is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party
shall so notify the party from whom indemnification is being claimed (the “Indemnifying
Party”) with reasonable promptness and reasonable particularity in light
of the circumstances then existing. If any claim is instituted by or against a
third party with respect to which any Indemnified Party intends to claim
indemnification under this Article VIII, such Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the Indemnifying Party of such claim. The notice provided by the
Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party shall describe the claim (the “Asserted
Liability”) in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (or an
estimate) of the Losses that have been or may be suffered by the Indemnified
Party. The failure of an Indemnified Party to give any notice required by this
Section 8.5 shall not affect any of the Indemnified Party’s rights under this
Article VIII or otherwise except and to the extent that such failure is
prejudicial to the rights or obligations of the Indemnifying Party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to the stated expiration of any
representation and warranty there shall have been given notice of an Asserted
Liability by an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall continue to have
the right to such indemnification with respect to such noticed claim
notwithstanding such expiration.

      


      8.6           Opportunity to Defend Third Party
Claims.

      


      (a)           Any
Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against
any third party claim for which it is entitled to indemnification from such
Indemnifying Party under this Article VIII with counsel reasonably satisfactory
to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) any of the Indemnifying Parties notifies
the Indemnified Party in writing within twenty (20) days after the Indemnified
Party has given notice of the third party claim that all of the Indemnifying
Parties will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of
Losses 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
Parties provide the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Parties will have the financial
resources to defend against the third party claim and fulfill their
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
precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business
interests of the Indemnified Party, and (v) the Indemnifying Parties diligently
conduct the defense of the third party claim.

      


      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, without the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Parties shall not settle or compromise any third party claim or
consent to the entry of a judgment in connection therewith that: (i) does not
provide for the claimant to give an unconditional release to the Indemnified
Party in respect of the Asserted Liability; (ii) involves relief other than
monetary damages; (iii) places restrictions or conditions on the operation of
the business of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates; or (iv) involves
any finding or admission of criminal liability or of any Laws.

      (b)           So
long as the Indemnifying Party has undertaken to conduct the defense of the
third party claim in accordance with Section 8.6(a), (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, and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnified Party
reasonably informed as to the status of the claim for which it is providing a
defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing or Section 8.6(a), in the event that (w)
any of the conditions in Section 8.6(a)(i) is or becomes unsatisfied or; (x) the
Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to
the Indemnified Party to defend such action within thirty (30) days after the
Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party of its intent to defend
against the Asserted Liability; (y) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably
concluded, based upon written advice of counsel, that it has defenses available
to it that are different from or additional to those available to the
Indemnifying Party (in which case the Indemnifying Party shall not have the
right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party
with respect to such different defenses); or (z) representation of such
Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be
inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such
Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such
proceeding, then the Indemnified Party may defend against the third party claim
in any manner it may deem appropriate and, the Indemnifying Parties will be
responsible for the Indemnified Party’s costs of defending against the third
party claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), and the
Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for the entirety of the Losses the
Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of or caused by the
third party claim.

      


      8.7         Exclusive Remedies. From and
after Closing, the remedies contained in this Article VIII shall contain the
sole and exclusive monetary remedies of Buyer with respect to any breach by
Sellers of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein;
provided that nothing herein shall be construed to restrict or limit Buyer’s
right to specific performance or injunctive relief to enforce the provisions of
this Agreement.

party’s right of termination will not constitute an election of
remedies.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1,

(i) this Section 9.2 and Article X will survive the termination of this
Agreement and will remain in full force and effect, and (ii) the termination of
this Agreement will not relieve any party from any liability for any breach of
this Agreement.

      10.12                      Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement including the Exhibits and
Disclsoure Schedules hereto and other documents and certificates delivered

      10.13                      Mutual
Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the arm’s-length
negotiation and mutual agreement among the parties hereto and shall not be
construed against any party as having been drafted by it.

      


      10.14                      Severability.  If in
any jurisdiction, any provision of this Agreement or its application to any
party or circumstance is restricted, prohibited or unenforceable, such provision
shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such
restriction, prohibition or unenforceability without invali­dating the
remaining provisions hereof and without affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction or its application to other parties
or circumstances provided the economic or legal substance of the transactions
contemplated hereby is not effected in a manner adverse to any party
hereto.  In addition, if any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement shall for any reason in any jurisdiction be held to be
excessively broad as to time, duration, geographical scope, activ­ity or
subject, it shall be construed, by limiting and reducing it, so as to be
enforceable to the extent compatible with the application law of such
jurisdiction as it shall then appear.

      


      10.15                      Sellers’
Agent.  Sellers’ Agent is hereby appointed as agent, proxy, and
attorney-in-fact for, and on behalf of, each Seller with regard to all purposes
under this Agreement, including the Related Instruments, such that Sellers’
Agent shall have the full power and authority to consummate the Transaction on
behalf of Sellers, perform all post-Closing matters related thereto, and do any
and all things, and take any and all actions, that Sellers’ Agent, in Sellers’
Agent’s sole discretion, may consider necessary, proper, or convenient in
connection with, or to carry out, the Transaction.  Without limiting
the foregoing sentence, Sellers’ Agent is fully empowered and authorized to: (i)
receive and disburse all payments, (ii) give and receive notices and other
communications on behalf of all Sellers, and (iii) agree to, negotiate, enter
into settlements, compromises, and any other resolutions of, demand arbitration
of, and comply with court orders and arbitration awards with respect to
indemnification and other claims by or against any Seller.  Sellers
agree that the appointment of Sellers’ Agent is coupled with an interest and
shall be irrevocable, except to the extent, if any, provided otherwise by any
applicable Law.  Any decision, act, consent, waiver, or instruction of
Sellers’ Agent relating to this Agreement, including the Related Instruments, or
any matter arising thereunder or related thereto shall constitute a decision of
all of the Sellers, jointly and severally, shall be final, binding, and
conclusive upon each of them, and shall survive the death, incapacity,
bankruptcy, dissolution, or liquidation of any Seller or the Sellers’
Agent.  Buyer and the other Indemnitees may rely upon any such
decision, act, consent, waiver, or instruction of Sellers’ Agent as being the
decision, consent, waiver, or instruction of each and every
Seller.  Buyer and the other Indemnitees are hereby relieved from all
liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with any such
decision, consent, waiver, or instruction of Sellers’ Agent.  Sellers
shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend, and hold Sellers’ Agent
harmless from any and all actions taken by Sellers’ Agent in good
faith.
