        At the
Closing or other date specified below, the Purchase Price shall be delivered by
Buyer to Seller, as follows:   (A) at Closing, the payment of Two
Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Cash Closing
Payment”) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account
specified by Seller and (B) the Earnout payment conditioned upon the revenues of
the Seller “Buyer Business” for the twelve months following the Closing Date
(the “Earnout”), as
follows:

         

        (i)           The
Earnout shall be payable ninety (90) days from the first anniversary of the
Closing Date provided the revenues of the Buyer Business exceeds, during the
one-year period following the Closing Date (the “Earnout Period”), the
following:  (x) Ten Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($10,500,000), the Earnout payment shall  be  paid in the

($14,500,000), the Earnout payment shall then be paid in the amount of Two

            4

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (ii)           In
the event the Buyer Business revenue in the Earnout Period is less than
$10,500,000, the Earnout Payment shall be zero.

         

        For the
purposes hereof, “Buyer Business” means
the Business and the Purchased Assets of Seller acquired by Buyer pursuant
hereto and all revenues generated from said Assets including the current active
client list (those clients generating income in the last twelve months) as shown
on Schedule 1.3 prior to
the Closing date and any revenue generated for the Buyer Business by the
Alliance Agreement (as set forth in Section 4.1), below for the
twelve month period subsequent to the Closing Date. Buyer and Seller agree that
during the Earnout Period, the Business operations will not be sold, transferred
or otherwise disposed of without (i) consulting with Seller prior to agreeing to
such sale or transfer, provided however, the Seller acknowledge that the Buyer
Business shall be moved from its present location to the Buyer’s Orlando
facility; (ii) paying any Earnout amount that is then due Seller and (iii)
negotiating in good faith with Seller to determine any Earnout amount that may
come due at the end of the Earnout Period.

         

        For the
purposes hereof, “Revenue” means Revenue for the Earnout
Period and shall refer to total gross sales made by the Business containing all or
substantially all of the Purchases Assets, as if it were a separate business
unit, even if the Buyer elects to merge or consolidate such
unit with its other operations (hereafter such business operations shall
be referred to as the "Business
Operations").  Revenue shall be determined in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied throughout
the periods involved (“GAAP”). The parties
acknowledge and agree that any Earnout payments shall be deemed to be part of
the Purchase Price.

         

        If a
dispute arises regarding the Earnout amount for any period, the parties agree to
use reasonable efforts to attempt to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of
the dispute within thirty (30) days of Seller’s written notice to the Buyer of
such dispute.  Thereafter, if Seller desires with respect to the
Earnout amount for any period, within ninety (90) days of notice from Buyer of
such Earnout amount, Seller may commence an audit of Buyers Business (an “Earnout
Audit”).  Such Earnout Audit will be conducted by a nationally
recognized accounting firm selected by Seller that is reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer (the “Earnout
Auditor”), which Earnout Auditor may consider any relevant materials and
information during its audit.  Buyer shall cooperate with the Earnout
Auditor in its performance of the Earnout Audit.  Seller will bear the
costs and expenses of the Earnout Auditor if and to the extent the Earnout
Auditor determines that Buyer either correctly calculated the Earnout amount or
Buyer calculated the Earnout amount to within seven and one half percent (7.5%)
of the correct amount for the relevant year of the Earnout
Period.  However, Buyer will pay the Earnout Auditor (or reimburse
Seller), in addition to any shortfall due from its miscalculation of the Earnout
amount, for any and all costs and expenses of the Earnout Auditor, if the
Earnout Auditor determines that the correct Earnout amount exceeded Buyer’s
determination of the Earnout amount for any period by more than seven and one
half percent (7.5%).  The Earnout Auditor’s determination with respect
to amounts of Earnout payable will be final and binding on the parties in all
respects.

such case, Seller shall take commercially reasonable steps after the Closing to
obtain the consent of such other party to the Non-Material Contract to the
assignment of such Non-Material Contract to the Buyer.  If such
consent is not obtained, Seller shall cooperate with the Buyer to the extent
legally permissible and feasible in any reasonable arrangement designed to
provide for Buyer the benefits of any Non-Material Contract, including, without

and all rights of Seller against any other person with respect to a Non-Material
Contract.

mutual consent of Buyer and Seller; or

         

         (e)           by
Buyer or Seller if the Closing has not occurred on or before May 11, 2008 or
such later date as the parties may agree upon or as provided herein, unless the
party giving notice of termination is in material breach of this
Agreement.

         

         Section 9.2          
Effect of
Termination.  Each party’s right of termination under Section 9.1 is its sole right

        INDEMNIFICATION

         

         Section 10.1          
Survival.  All
representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations in this Agreement, the
Schedules attached hereto, and the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 1.7, will survive the
Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.  The right to indemnification, reimbursement, or other remedy
based on such representations, warranties, covenants, and obligations will not
be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge
acquired (or capable of being acquired) about, the accuracy or inaccuracy of or
compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or
obligation.  Buyer is not aware of any facts or circumstances that
would serve as the basis for a claim by Buyer against Seller or Parent based
upon a breach of any of the representations and warranties of the Seller or
Parent contained in this Agreement or breach of any of Seller’s or Parent’s
covenants or agreements to be performed at or prior to Closing.  Buyer
will be deemed to have waived in full any breach of any of Seller’s or Parent’s
representations and warranties and any such covenants and agreements of which
Buyer has awareness at the Closing.

         Section 10.2           
Indemnification
and Reimbursement By Seller or Parent.  Seller or Parent shall
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and its directors, stockholders, members,
partners, employees, representatives, and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified
Persons”), and shall reimburse the Buyer Indemnified Persons, for any
loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (including costs of investigation and
defense and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) whether or not involving a
third-party claim (collectively, “Damages”) but
excluding any punitive, special or consequential or indirect damages, arising,
directly or indirectly, from or in connection with:

         

         (a)           any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller or Parent in this
Agreement, or the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 1.7;

         

         (b)           any
breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller or Parent in this Agreement;
and

         

         (c)           any
Retained Liabilities.

         

         Section 10.3             Indemnification
and Reimbursement by Buyer.  Buyer shall indemnify
and hold harmless Seller and its directors, stockholders, partners, employees,
representatives, and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified
Persons”), and shall reimburse the Seller Indemnified Persons for any
Damages, but excluding any punitive, special or consequential or indirect
damages, arising, directly or indirectly, from or in connection
with:

         

         (a)           any
breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer in this Agreement or in
any certificate or document delivered by Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement;

         

         (b)           any
breach of any covenant or obligation of Buyer in this Agreement or in any other
document, writing, or instrument delivered by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement,
including without limitation reimbursement of PTO; and

         

         (c)           the
Assumed Liabilities.

         

         Section
10.4           Time and Amount
Limitations.

         

         (a)           Seller
or Parent will have no indemnification liability for the breach of any
representation or warranty set forth in Article II, unless on or before the
second anniversary of the Closing Date, Buyer notifies Seller or Parent of a
breach specifying the factual basis of that breach in reasonable detail to the
extent then known by Buyer and providing a reasonable opportunity to cure; provided, however, that any
claim with respect to taxes may be made at any time, subject to the applicable
period of statute of limitations.

         

         (b)           Buyer
will have no indemnification liability for the breach of any representation or
warranty set forth in Article III, unless on or before the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, Seller notifies Buyer of a breach specifying the factual basis of
that breach in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Seller or
Parent.

         

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            22

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

         (c)           Seller
or Parent shall have no liability under this Agreement with respect to claims
under Section 10.2 until the total amount of Damages with respect to such
matters exceeds $25,000, and then only for the amount by which such Damages in
the aggregate exceeds $25,000. The maximum liability for any party under this
Agreement shall not exceed 40% of the Purchase Price except for claims made with
respect to tax, fraud, or any employee issue as disclosed on Schedule 2.12 for
which there shall be no limitation of liability.

         

         (d)           The
Parties acknowledge and agree that, from and after the Closing, their sole and
exclusive remedy with respect to any and all monetary claims relating to the
subject matter of this Agreement shall be pursuant to Sections 10.2 and
10.3.

         

         Section 10.5          
Procedure for
Indemnification - Third Party Claims.  If, after the Closing
Date, either a Buyer Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person (includes
Parent), as the case may be (the “Indemnitee”),
receives notice of any third-party claim or alleged third-party claim asserting
the existence of any matter of a nature as to which the Indemnitee is entitled
to be indemnified under this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall promptly notify
Seller, or Buyer, as the case may be (the “Indemnitor”), in
writing with respect thereto, but the failure to notify the Indemnitor will not
relieve the Indemnitor of any liability that it may have to an Indemnitee,
except to the extent that the Indemnitor demonstrates that the defense of such
action has been prejudiced by the Indemnitee’s failure to give such
notice.  The Indemnitor will have the right to defend against any such
claim provided (a) that the Indemnitor, within ten (10) days after the giving of
such notice by Indemnitee, notifies Indemnitee in writing that (i) Indemnitor
disputes such claim and gives reasons therefor, and (ii) Indemnitor will, at its
own cost and expense, defend the same, and (b) such defense is instituted and
continuously maintained in good faith by Indemnitor.  Indemnitee may,
if it so elects, designate and pay for its own counsel to participate with the
counsel selected by Indemnitor in the conduct of such defense. Indemnitor will
not permit any lien or execution to attach to the assets of Indemnitee as a
result of such claim, and the Indemnitor shall provide such bonds or deposits as
are necessary to prevent the same.  In any event, Indemnitor will keep
Indemnitee fully advised as to the status of such defense.  If
Indemnitor is given notice of a claim as aforesaid and fails to notify
Indemnitee of its election to defend such claim within the time prescribed
herein, or after having elected to defend such claim fails to institute and
maintain such defense as prescribed herein, or if such defense is unsuccessful
then, in any such event, the Indemnitor shall fully satisfy and discharge the
claim within ten (10) days after notice from the Indemnitee requesting
Indemnitor to do so.  If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any
action or proceeding (y) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be
effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent unless (A) there is
no finding or admission of any violation of any legal requirement or any
violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may
be made against the Indemnitee, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary
damages that are paid in full by the Indemnitor; and (z) the Indemnitee will
have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement of such claims
effected without its consent.

         Section 10.6          
Procedure For
Indemnification - Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be
asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is
sought.

         Section 11.3

         Section 11.4          
Waiver.  No failure to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of either party, any right

hereunder.

         

         Section 11.5          
Entire Agreement
and Modification.  This Agreement, together
between Seller, Parent and Buyer and the Schedules, Exhibits, and other
documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement, constitutes a complete and
exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with
respect to its subject matter and supersedes all prior agreements (except for
the nondisclosure agreement previously signed by the parties), whether written
or oral, between the parties with respect to its subject matter.  This
Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement signed on behalf of
each of the parties hereto. Provided, however, either party shall have a right
to waive any conditions contained in Article VI to accomplish the Closing
without the consent of the other party.

         

         Section 11.6          
Assignments,
Successors, and No Third-Party Rights.  No party may assign any

the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Buyer may assign any
of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (i) to
any affiliate of Buyer, and (ii) in connection with the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of Buyer, provided that no such assignment or
delegation will relieve Buyer from any of its obligations
hereunder.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will
apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the
successors and permitted assigns of the parties.  Nothing in this
Agreement will be construed to give any person other than the parties to this
Agreement any legal or equitable right under or with respect to this Agreement
or any provision of this Agreement, except such rights as shall inure to a
successor or permitted assignee pursuant to this Section 11.6.

         

         Section 11.7          
Severability.
 If any
provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of
competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in
full force and effect.  The parties agree that if any provision
contained herein is, to any extent, held invalid or unenforceable in any respect
under the laws governing this Agreement, they shall take any actions necessary
to render the remaining provisions of this Agreement valid and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law and, to the extent necessary, shall amend or
otherwise modify this Agreement to replace any provision contained herein that
is held invalid or unenforceable with a valid and enforceable provision giving
effect to the intent of the parties.

Section Headings,
Construction.  The headings of
Articles and Sections in this Agreement are provided for convenience only and

reviewed this Agreement and that rules of construction to the effect that any
ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be available
in the interpretation of this Agreement.

         Section 11.9          
Governing Law.
This Agreement will be governed by and construed under the laws of the

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be

Further
Assurances. The parties shall cooperate reasonably with each other and
with their respective representatives in connection with any steps required to

Legal
Fees.  In the event that legal proceedings are commenced by
Buyer against Seller and/or Parent, or by Seller against Buyer, in connection
with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the party or
parties that do not prevail in such proceedings shall pay the reasonable

proceedings in the event of a ruling by a court of competent jurisdiction in
favor of the prevailing party.
