                net
                amount being called the “Closing Payment”), payable by
                wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds at
                the
                Closing;

                or other
                immediately available funds, together with interest thereon from

                date at the rate of 9% per annum if the Second Installment is not
                paid on

                stock of
                Buyer (the “Buyer Stock”).  The Buyer Stock
                will be restricted in relation to sale, exchange or transfer (or
                offers to
                sell, exchange or transfer) as provided under U.S. securities
                laws.

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

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

                (referred to as a “Claim Notice” in Article 8 herein) in
                accordance with Article 8 of this Agreement, then the Buyer may deduct
                from the Second Installment such amount or amounts (which shall be
                specified in such notice(s) to the Sellers) as is reasonably necessary
                to
                satisfy the claim(s) seeking indemnification set forth in such Claim
                Notice (including costs and attorneys fees and disbursements in respect
                of
                those indemnification claims) and deposit such amount in trust with
                the
                Escrow Agent to be held according to the Escrow Terms, pending final
                resolution of such indemnification claim (“Claim”) (which
                shall mean, unless otherwise agreed among the parties hereto, a final
                arbitral award or, if appealed, a final judgment or order of a court
                of
                competent jurisdiction not subject to any further appeals adjudicating
                Buyer’s claim for the indemnification sought in the Claim Notice, which

                by the
                Buyer as to that Claim Notice exceeds the amount of the Claim awarded
                to
                the Buyer, then the Escrow Agent shall pay to the Sellers any such
                excess,
                together with interest at 9% per annum for the period of time between
                the
                date that the payment of the amount that was withheld would otherwise
                have

                to pay

                2006

                30, 2007

                30,

    (Such
      financial statements are hereinafter called the “Financial
      Statements”).

     

    It
      was
      the Sellers’ intention when, on behalf of the Company, engaging the accounting
      firm of Korn, Rosenbaum, Phillips & Jauntig, LLP, acting through Kathleen
      Haubner, C.P.A., that the Financial Statements be prepared in accordance with
      GAAP, consistently applied.  To the Knowledge of the Sellers, there
      are no entries contained in the Financial Statements which are not in accordance
      with GAAP, consistently applied.  Each of the Financial Statements
      presents fairly the financial condition of the Company as of such dates and
      the
      results of operations of the Company for such periods.  Except for
      distributions to shareholders up to September 30, 2007 as reflected in the
      September 30 Statements and except for the Permitted Distribution (as to both
      of
      which the Buyer hereby waives any objection), the financial condition of the
      Company is now approximately the same as the financial condition reflected
      in
      the Financial Statements for the Most Recent Fiscal Year End and as reflected
      in
      the June 30 Statements, when such financial condition is taken as a
      whole.

     

    It
      was
      the Seller’s intention when, on behalf of the Company, engaging the accounting
      firm of Korn, Rosenbaum, Phillips & Jauntig, LLP, acting through Kathleen
      Haubner, C.P.A., that the financial and other books, records, files and accounts
      of the Company be maintained in accordance with GAAP on a basis consistent
      with
      prior years.  To the Knowledge of the Sellers, there are no entries
      contained in the Company’s financial and other books, records, files and
      accounts which are not in accordance with GAAP, consistently
      applied.

              (i)

            	
              the
                Company has filed all Tax Returns that it was required to
                file.  All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all
                material respects.  All Taxes owed by the Company and due and
                payable (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been
                paid.  The Company currently is not the beneficiary of any
                extension of time within which to file any Tax Return.  No claim
                has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where the Company
                does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation
                by that
                jurisdiction.  There are no Security Interests on any of the
                assets of the Company that arose in connection with any failure (or
                alleged failure) to pay any Tax;

              the
                Company has withheld and paid all Taxes required to have been withheld
                and
                paid in connection with amounts paid or owing to any
                employee;

              the
                Sellers do not expect the IRS or any other taxing authority to assess
                any
                additional Taxes for any period for which Tax Returns have been
                filed.  There is no dispute or claim concerning any Tax
                Liability of the Company either (A) claimed or raised by the IRS
                or any
                other taxing authority in writing or (B) as to which the Sellers
                and the
                directors and officers (and employees responsible for Tax matters)
                of the
                Company have Knowledge based upon personal contact with the IRS or
                any
                agent of such authority.  §4.1(k)(iii) of the Disclosure
                Schedule lists all federal, state, local, and foreign income Tax
                Returns
                filed with respect to the Company  for taxable periods ended on
                or after 2004, indicates those Tax Returns that have been audited,
                and
                indicates those Tax Returns that currently are the subject of
                audit.  The Sellers have delivered to the Buyer correct and
                complete copies of all federal income Tax Returns, examination reports,
                and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by the
                Company since 2003;

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (iv)

            	
              the
                Company has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes
                or
                agreed to any extension of time with respect to a Tax assessment
                or
                deficiency.

      for any improvements made to the real property leased or occupied by the Company
      that have not been paid for or as to which payments are not current
      (e.g., diesel generator).  §4.1(l) of the Disclosure Schedule
      also contains correct and complete copies of the leases and subleases listed
      therein.  With respect to each lease and sublease listed in §4.1(l) of

                correct and complete copies of all such licenses with respect to
                the

                is
                referred to in one or more contracts between the Company and its

                Intellectual Property required to be identified in §4.1(m) of the

                or
                condition that would cause the Sellers to believe that the following

              with

                action, suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint,

                is
                threatened, which challenges the legality, validity, or enforceability
                of
                the underlying item of Licensed Intellectual Property;

              the
                Company has not granted any sublicense or similar right with respect
                to
                the license, sublicense, agreement, or

              The
                Sellers do not have Knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would
                cause
                them to believe that the following is not true: the Company’s software is
                reasonably free of computer viruses and does not contain any contaminants
                or time bombs, including any codes or instructions, that may be used
                to
                access, modify, delete, damage or disable any computer
                system.

              The
                Sellers do not have Knowledge of any fact or circumstance that would
                cause
                them to be believe that the following is not true: the documentation
                possessed by Company in respect of software developed by or for the
                Company will be sufficient to allow Buyer and the Company’s existing
                staff, with the assistance of skilled software professionals possessing
                experience in this industry, to operate such software and to further
                develop and maintain it.

              §4.1(m)
                of the Disclosure Schedule lists all open source software used and
                licensed by the Company.  The Sellers are unaware of any fact or
                circumstance that would cause them to be believe that the following
                is not
                true: the Company has complied with all applicable open source licences
                by
                which it is bound.

              The
                Company has used reasonable commercial efforts to take precautions
                and to
                protect its proprietary information from unauthorized access or
                disclosure.

              Tangible
                Assets.

            

    

     

    Except
      as
      to any of the following provided by a customer, the Company owns or leases
      all
      premises, machinery, equipment, and other tangible assets necessary for the
      conduct of the Company’s businesses as presently conducted.  To the
      Knowledge of the Sellers, each such tangible asset owned or leased by it has
      been maintained in accordance with the Company’s normal practice, and is in good
      operating condition and repair (subject to normal wear and tear).

              Inventory.

            

    

     

    The
      current inventory of consumables of the Company, subject to a reasonable
      allowance for obsolete inventory consistent with the allowance reflected in
      the
      June 30 Statements, is good and usable and is capable of being sold in the
      Ordinary Course of Business. The Company’s inventory level is consistent with
      past practice.

    The
      Seller has delivered to the Buyer the insurance policies, brokers certificates
      or other information in the Company’s possession concerning insurance covering
      the Company.  With respect to each insurance policy, the Sellers are

      full
      force and effect in accordance with its terms, (B) the policy will continue
      to
      be legal, valid, binding, enforceable, and in full force and effect on identical

      hereby; (C) neither the Company  nor any other party to the policy is
      in breach or default (including with respect to the payment of premiums or
      the

      time, would constitute such a breach or default, or permit termination,
      modification, or acceleration, under the policy; and (D) no party to the policy
      has repudiated any provision thereof.  §4.1(u) of the Disclosure
      Schedule describes any self insurance arrangements affecting the

      hearing, or investigation of, in, or before any court or quasi judicial or
      administrative agency of any federal, state, local, or foreign jurisdiction

      product or service sold, licensed or delivered by the Company has been in
      material conformity with all applicable contractual commitments, all express
      warranties, and all warranties, if any, that are implied as a matter of the
      law
      governing the contract at issue. The Company does not have any existing
      Liability of which Sellers are aware for replacement or repair of any product
      or
      re-performance of any service or other damages in connection therewith, subject
      only to the reserve for warranty claims, if any, set forth in the June 30
      Balance Sheet as adjusted for the passage of time through the Closing Date

    The
      Company has no written employment contracts with any Company Employee other

    Except
      as
      set out in the Company Employee and Contractor Disclosure Document, the Company
      is not a party to or bound by any contract or commitment to pay any management
      or consulting fee.  Sellers are unaware of any plans by any executive,
      key employee or group of employees, not including the Sellers, to terminate
      employment with the Company at or following Closing.  The Company is
      not a party to or bound by any collective bargaining agreement.  The
      Company has not experienced any strikes, grievances, claims of unfair labor
      practices, or other collective bargaining disputes by any existing employee
      within the twelve (12) month period preceding Closing.  The Sellers
      are unaware of any unfair labor practice committed by the Company within the
      twelve (12) month period preceding Closing.  The Sellers are unaware
      of any instance in which the Company is not in compliance with all applicable
      workers compensation law and employee regulations of the State of New
      York.  The Sellers are unaware of any organizational effort presently
      being made or threatened by or on behalf of any labor union with respect to
      employees of the Company.

      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
      therefor under Article 8 below).  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
      requests made by the Sellers of the Buyer or the Company, or vice

      or demand not involving one Party or the Company claiming against another Party
      or the Company, in connection with (i) any transaction contemplated under this

      activity, practice, plan, occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act,
      or transaction on or prior to the Closing Date involving the Company, each
      of

      contest or defense, make available their personnel, and provide such testimony
      and access to their books and records as shall be necessary in connection with

              Confidentiality.

            

    

     

    Except
      as
      provided by §5.2(d) hereof, each of the Sellers will treat and hold as such all
      of the Confidential Information, refrain from using any of the Confidential
      Information except in connection with this Agreement, and deliver promptly
      to
      the Buyer all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential
      Information which are in his possession.

              Disclosure
                of Confidential Information.

            

    

     

    In
      the
      event that any of the Sellers is requested or required (by oral question or
      request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory,
      subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any
      Confidential Information, that Seller will notify the Buyer promptly of the
      request or requirement so that the Buyer may seek an appropriate protective
      order or waive compliance with the provisions of this §5.2(d).  If, in
      the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any
      of
      the Sellers is, on the advice of counsel, compelled by law to disclose any
      Confidential Information , that Seller may disclose the Confidential Information
      as so compelled; provided, however, that the disclosing Seller shall use
      reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of the Buyer, an order or other
      assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the
      Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the Buyer shall
      designate.  The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any
      Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately
      prior to the time of disclosure.  All expenses, fees and costs
      incurred by Sellers, including for the reasonable time and disbursements of
      attorneys, in complying with this section 5.2(d) shall be paid in full and
      in
      advance by Buyer as a condition precedent to Sellers’ obligations in this
      section 5.2(d).

              Commencing
                on the Closing Date and for a period of three (3) years from the
                Closing
                Date, the Sellers individually but not jointly covenant not to engage
                directly or indirectly in any business competitive to the Business
                anywhere in the following States:  New Jersey, Delaware,
                Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Vermont, Rhode Island,
                Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine and Washington, DC; provided,
                however,
                that no owner of less than 1% of the outstanding stock of any
                publicly-traded corporation shall be deemed to engage solely by reason
                thereof in any of its businesses.

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (ii)

                limiting the provisions of §5.2(e)(i) hereof, commencing on the Closing
                Date and for a period of 5 years from the Closing Date, the Sellers
                individually but not jointly covenant not to, directly or

                customer,
                or has been within three (3) years prior to the Closing Date, a customer
                of the Business or has been pursued as a prospective customer of
                the
                Business, for the purpose of selling to such customer or prospective
                customer any products or services which are competitive with those
                offered
                by the Company;

            

    

     

    
      	
               

            	
              (B)

            	
              induce
                or endeavor to induce any employee of the Business to leave his or
                her
                employment;

                of the
                Business during the term of their employment;
                or

                partner
                of the Business at the time of Closing in a manner that would be
                competitive with the Business.

              If
                the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares
                that any
                term or provision of this §5.2(e) is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties
                agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or
                unenforceability shall have the power to reduce the scope, duration,
                or
                area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases,
                or to
                replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term
                or
                provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to
                expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or
                provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified
                after
                the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be
                appealed.

              Sellers
                hereby expressly agree and acknowledge

              in
                this section, the words “directly or indirectly” include any action taken
                by either of the Sellers for his own benefit or for the benefit of
                any
                Person competing with the Business, either individually or in partnership
                or jointly or in conjunction with any other Person as principal,
                agent,

                than 1%

              The
                Company has protectable business interests with respect to its suppliers,
                employees, customers and prospective customers, and that competition
                as
                proscribed above with and against such business interests would be
                harmful

              the
                covenants contained in this §5.2(e) above are reasonable as to time and
                geographical area and do not place any unreasonable burden upon Sellers’
                ability to earn a livelihood;

                are intended to protect

      ensure the value of the Company, including its goodwill, which actions,
      covenants, and promises are a material consideration to Buyer in connection
      with
      this Agreement; and, to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction in which
      this Agreement shall be interpreted, construed, and/or enforced distinguish
      between covenants given in connection with the sale of a business and its
      goodwill and covenants given in connection with employment, this covenant will
      be given the broader interpretation customarily given to covenants in connection
      with the sale of a business and the transfer of goodwill to a buyer;

                the event of a breach by Sellers of the provisions of this
                §5.2(e),  and, accordingly, in the event of such a breach, Buyer
                will be entitled, in addition to any other legal or equitable damages
                and
                remedies to which it may be entitled or which may be available, to
                an
                injunction to restrain the violation
                thereof.

              Filing
                Tax Returns.

            

    

     

    With
      respect to the taxable year of the Company ended December 31, 2006, the Sellers
      have previously caused the Company to prepare and file all necessary tax
      returns.  With respect to the short period beginning January 1, 2007
      ending as of the effective date of the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare the
      package of tax information materials in accordance with past practice, including
      past practice as to information schedules and work papers and as to the method
      of recognition of taxable income or other relevant measure of the income of
      the
      Company (the “Tax Package”).  The Buyer shall cause to be prepared the
      Company’s tax returns for the interim period ending as of the effective date of
      the Closing and shall file such Tax Returns on behalf of the
      Company.  Prior to filing such Tax Returns, the Buyer and the Sellers
      shall review such Tax Returns and the Tax Package.  The Buyer and the
      Sellers shall promptly notify the other in writing of any reasonable objections
      they may have to any item set forth on the Tax Returns reviewed by
      them.  In the event the Buyer and the Sellers cannot promptly resolve
      the dispute, then such dispute shall be referred to a designee chosen by the
      tax
      partner in charge of the New York office of an independent nationally recognized
      accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Sellers and the Buyer (the “Tax
      Arbitrator”) for resolution in time to allow the Company to file such Tax
      Returns on or before the deadline for their filing, including any extensions
      thereto.  The Tax Arbitrator shall resolve the issues raised in good
      faith, with recognition of the merits of the issues, within the bounds of
      reasonable judgment and so as not to unreasonably disadvantage the position
      of
      the Sellers or the Company in the Tax Returns.  The decision of the
      Tax Arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties hereto.  The
      fees and expenses of the Tax Arbitrator shall be shared equally by the Buyer
      and

    All
      representations and warranties of the Sellers contained in §3.1 shall survive

      contained in §4.1 above shall, except as hereinafter provided, survive the
      Closing hereunder and continue in full force and effect for a period of fifteen
      (15) months thereafter as representations and warranties of current condition
      as

      warranty which is based upon or relates to the tax liability of the Company
      for
      a particular taxation year may be made or brought by the Buyer at any time
      prior
      to the expiration of the period during which an assessment, reassessment or
      other form of recognized document assessing the liability for Tax, interest
      or
      penalties in respect of such taxation year under applicable tax legislation
      could be issued, assuming that the Company has not prior to Closing filed any
      waiver or similar document extending such period.  All of the

              A
                Party hereto (the “Indemnified Party”) may deliver to the
                other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) a written notice
                (“Claim Notice”) that the Indemnified Party has suffered
                Adverse Consequences resulting from a breach of a representation,
                warranty
                or covenant and providing the facts alleged as the basis for such

                and the section or sections of this Agreement alleged to have been
                violated and the estimated total dollar amount of the Adverse Consequences
                claimed.  In the event that the Indemnifying Party disputes
                liability for or the amount of the Adverse Consequences set forth
                in the
                Claim Notice (a “Disputed Claim”), the Indemnifying Party
                shall notify the Indemnified Party in writing of such
                dispute  (“Notice of a Disputed Claim”) and
                specify the amount disputed and basis therefor and the amount the
                Indemnifying Party believes to be the correct amount, if any, within

                to the
                Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the
                Indemnifying Party of the Claim Notice shall constitute the Indemnifying

                Notice.

                date of

                and
                reach a resolution of the matter on an expedited basis.  If,
                after such resolution period, the Parties are unable to reach agreement,
                the Indemnified Party may pursue such Disputed Claim pursuant to
                arbitration.

    Each
      of
      the Sellers hereby agrees that he will not make any claim for indemnification
      against the Company  by reason of the fact that he was a director,
      officer, employee, partner or agent of the Company or was serving at the request
      of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another entity
      (whether such claim is for judgments, damages, penalties, fines, costs, amounts
      paid in settlement, losses, expenses, or otherwise and whether such claim is
      pursuant to any statute, charter document, bylaw, agreement, or otherwise)
      if
      and to the extent that such claim for indemnification arises out of any action,
      suit, proceeding, complaint, claim, or demand brought by the Buyer against
      such
      Seller pursuant to the specific terms of this Agreement (but the Sellers’ rights
      to indemnification by the Company are not otherwise restricted or impaired

      any provision of this Agreement or application thereof to anyone or under any
      circumstances is adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction,

      Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis, the Company Property.

    

    7.5           Remedies.
      Huntoon acknowledges that, if Huntoon breaches the provisions of this Section
      7,
      the harm to BLUE HILL, the Buyer and its Affiliates will be
      irreparable.  Huntoon therefore agrees that, in the event of such a
      breach by Huntoon, in addi­tion to damages, BLUE HILL or the Buyer shall be
      entitled to obtain preliminary and perma­nent injunctive relief against any
      such breach.  The Buyer is a third party beneficiary of this
      Agreement.
