UNOVA,
INC.

RESTRICTED
STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

This
Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (“Agreement”)
is made as of the 6th day of May, 2004, between UNOVA, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”) and
Thomas O. Miller (the “Grantee”).

WHEREAS, the UNOVA, Inc. 2004 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of
Directors of the Company on March 11, 2004, and was approved by the
shareholders of the Company on May 6, 2004; and

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the Grantee to remain in the employ of the
Company, the Company desires to award the Grantee Restricted Stock Units (as
that term is defined in the Plan) in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Plan and this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Compensation, Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company authorized the Award represented by this Agreement on
May 6, 2004 (the “Award Date”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the mutual covenants hereinafter
set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the
Grantee hereby agree as follows:

1.         The
Company hereby grants the Grantee, as a matter of separate inducement and
agreement, and not in lieu of salary or other compensation for services, an
Award of 20,000 Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”)
comprising the right to receive a minimum of 10,000 and a maximum of 30,000
shares (as determined under Paragraph 3 of this Agreement) of the common stock,
par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the “Common
Stock”) on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth (the “Awarded Shares”), such number of Awarded
Shares to be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3 of the Plan. The
Grantee shall have no obligation to pay the Company additional consideration
for the Awarded Shares.

2.         The
Plan, a copy of which has been made available to the Grantee, is incorporated
herein by reference and is made part of this Agreement as if fully set forth
herein. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement which are not defined herein
shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Plan, it being understood
that the terms “Restricted Stock Units”
and “RSUs” shall mean and refer to
the right to receive only the Awarded Shares. This Agreement is subject to, and
the Company and the Grantee agree to be bound by, all of the terms and
conditions of the Plan as the same exist at the time this Agreement became
effective. The Plan shall control in the event there is any express conflict
between the Plan and the terms hereof and with respect to such matters as are
not expressly covered in this Agreement. The Company hereby reserves the right
to alter, amend, modify, restate, suspend or terminate the Plan and this
Agreement in accordance with Section 12 of the Plan, but no such subsequent amendment,
modification, restatement, or termination of the Plan or this Agreement shall
adversely affect in any material way the Grantee’s rights under this Agreement
without the Grantee’s written consent. 
This Agreement shall be subject, without further action by the Company
or the Grantee, to such amendment, modification, or restatement.

3.         (a)       There shall be a Period of Restriction
(the “Restriction Period”) with
respect to all RSUs beginning on the Award Date and ending on the third
anniversary of the Award Date (the “Vesting
Date”).  Except as otherwise
provided in Paragraph 5 hereof, all RSUs still subject to restriction upon
Grantee’s Termination of Employment for any reason, including Retirement, shall
be forfeited by the Grantee.

(b)       Time-Based
Payment.  Fifty percent of the RSUs shall be payable in
the form of 10,000 unrestricted shares of Common Stock as soon as reasonably
practicable following the Vesting Date.

(c)       Performance-Based
Payment.  The remaining 50
percent of the RSUs shall be payable as soon as reasonably practicable
following the Vesting Date in that number of unrestricted shares of Common
Stock determined in accordance with the following performance matrix, which
uses the two scales of Intermec Technologies Corporation’s Revenue and Operating
Margin for fiscal year 2006 (adjusted to exclude the impact of acquisitions):

treatment request has been made with, the Securities and Exchange Commission.

provided, however, that the number of Awarded Shares paid for achievement between the
levels shown on the matrix above will be calculated using interpolation.

4.         Until
the earlier of (a) the end of the Restriction Period, or (b) the vesting of any
of the RSUs granted hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
the Grantee shall not be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or
otherwise encumber the RSUs or the Awarded Shares.

5.         Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement,

(a)       RSUs
granted hereunder still subject to restriction shall become fully vested upon
the Termination of Employment of the Grantee by reason of the Grantee’s death
and the Company shall issue to the Grantee’s estate as soon as reasonably
practicable one unrestricted share of Common Stock for each RSU awarded
hereunder;

(b)       RSUs
granted hereunder still subject to restriction shall become fully vested upon
the Termination of Employment of Grantee by reason of the Grantee’s Disability
and payment shall be made following the Vesting Date in accordance with
Paragraph 3 of this Agreement; and

(c)       upon
the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in Section 13(b) of the Plan,
payment shall be made in accordance with Section 13(a) of the Plan.

6.         If
and when RSUs vest pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the payment of
withholding taxes as provided in Paragraph 8 hereof, the Company will direct
its transfer agent to issue to the Grantee in uncertificated form the number of
unrestricted shares of Common Stock issuable based on the Awarded Shares in
accordance with Paragraph 3 hereof.

7.         Except
as otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Plan, the Grantee shall not have
any rights of a shareholder with respect to the RSUs, or, prior to vesting, the
Awarded Shares.

8.         No
later than the date as of which an amount first becomes includable in the gross
income of the Grantee for federal income tax purposes with respect to any
Awarded Shares, the Grantee shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements
satisfactory to the Company regarding the payment of, any federal, state,
local, or foreign taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld by the
Company with respect to such amount. Unless otherwise determined by the
Committee, withholding obligations (up to the minimum statutory amount required
to be withheld by the Company) may be settled with shares of Common Stock,
including the Awarded Shares that give rise to the withholding requirement or
shares of Common Stock already owned by the Grantee for a period of at least
six months. The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditional
on such payment or arrangements, and the Company, and its Subsidiaries and its
Affiliates shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any
such taxes from any payment otherwise due to the Grantee. Grantee, therefore,
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably elects, notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Paragraph 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement, to satisfy any and
all federal, state, local, and foreign taxes of any kind that may be withheld
by the Company in connection with Grantee’s Awarded Shares (the “Withholding Taxes”) by electing one of the
following options; provided that
in all cases, the Company shall have the right to receive not less than the
minimum amount of the Withholding Taxes that the Company is required by law to
withhold (the “Mandatory Withholding Taxes”);
and further provided that an
amount equal to the Mandatory Withholding Taxes in respect of any cash payment
to Grantee shall be withheld from any such cash payment:

 

OPTION 1:

o                        Authorizing and directing the Company to
deduct from the total number of shares of Common Stock issued and deliverable
to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement the number of shares having a value equal
to the Mandatory Withholding Taxes.

OPTION 2:

o                        Tendering to the Company the number of
unrestricted shares of Common Stock owned by the Grantee for a period of at
least six months prior to the date on which Withholding Taxes are due and
having a value equal to the Mandatory Withholding Taxes.

OPTION 3:

o                        Paying to the Company in cash an amount up to
the Withholding Taxes but not less than the Mandatory Withholding Taxes.

In the event that none of the payment options set forth above
is specified, the Grantee’s election shall be deemed to be Option 1, and the
Company shall proceed accordingly.

9.         Grantee understands and
acknowledges that Grantee is one of a limited number of employees of the
Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates who have been selected to receive
grants of RSUs and that Grantee’s Award is considered Company confidential
information. Grantee hereby covenants and agrees not to disclose the Award of
RSUs pursuant to this Agreement to any other person except (a) Grantee’s
immediate family and legal or financial advisors who agree to maintain the
confidentiality of this Agreement, (b) as required in connection with the
administration of this Agreement and the Plan as it relates to this Award or
under applicable law, and (c) to the extent that the terms of this Award have
been publicly disclosed.

10.       The
grant of RSUs to the Grantee in any year shall give the Grantee neither any
right to similar grants in future years nor any right to be retained in the
employ of the Company or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, such employment being
terminable to the same extent as if the Plan and this Agreement were not in
effect. The right and power of the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
to dismiss or discharge the Grantee is specifically and unqualifiedly
unimpaired by this Agreement.

11.       Each
notice relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person
or by mail to the Company at its office, 6001 36th Avenue West, Everett, WA
98203-1264, to the attention of the Company’s Secretary or at such other
address as the Company may specify in writing to the Grantee by a notice
delivered in accordance with this Paragraph. All notices to the Grantee shall
be delivered to the Grantee at the Grantee’s address specified below or at such
other address as the Grantee may specify in writing to the Secretary of the
Company by a notice delivered in accordance with this Paragraph.

12.       This
Agreement, including the provisions of the Plan incorporated by reference
herein, comprises the whole Agreement between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof, and shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to
principles of conflicts of law.  This
Agreement shall become effective when it has been executed or accepted
electronically by the Company and the Grantee.

13.       This
Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon each successor of
the Company and, to the extent specifically provided herein and in the Plan,
shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the Grantee’s heirs,
legal representatives, and successors.

14.       If
any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable, such
invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity and enforceability
of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

15.       This
Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered will be an original, but all of which together will
constitute one and the same instrument. In pleading or proving this Agreement,
it will not be necessary to produce or account for more than one such
counterpart.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement is executed by the Grantee
and by the Company through its duly authorized officer or officers as of the
day and year first above written.

this  Agreement  (a  "Holdback  Claim"),  the  parties   shall  comply  with the

that  the  Sellers  dispute  that the Parent-Indemnified Party is entitled to be
paid  the amounts set forth in such Holdback Claim, the Sellers shall notify the
Parent-Indemnified  Party  of  such  dispute  in writing within thirty (30) days
following  the Sellers' receipt of the Notice of Holdback Claim. If no notice of
dispute  is  received  by  the  Parent-Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days
after  the  Sellers  have  been provided a Notice of Holdback Claim, such amount
specified  therein  shall  be  retained  by  Parent  for its own account and the
Holdback  Amount  shall  be  reduced  by  such  amount.

               (ii)     In the event that the Sellers dispute the Holdback Claim
and  provide  Parent  written  notice  of  such  dispute within thirty (30) days
following receipt by the Sellers of the Notice of Holdback Claim, the amount set
forth in such Holdback Claim shall not be retained by Parent for its own account
unless  and  until,  and in the amount, (x) agreed by the Sellers in writing, or
(y)  directed or permitted by a final decision of a court in accordance with the
provisions  under  Section  12,09.

               (iii)     At  the  later  to  occur  of (x) the date of the final
determination of the Existing Business Price Component pursuant to Section 2.03,
and  (y)  the  date  the  Aggregate Merger Consideration is adjusted pursuant to
Section 2.07, Parent shall cause to be paid to each Seller its Pro Rata Share of
the  Holdback  Amount  minus  the  sum  of (A) the amount of any Holdback Claims
                       -----
retained  by  Parent  for its own account as of such date in accordance with the
terms  hereof,  plus  (B) the amounts set forth in any Notices of Holdback Claim
                ----

final  resolution  shall be evidenced by the written agreement of Parent and the
Sellers,  or the direction by a final decision of a court in accordance with the
provisions  under  Section  12.09), Parent shall cause to be paid to each Seller
its  Pro  Rata  Share  of  the  remaining  balance  of  the  Holdback  Amount.

               (iv)     The  Sellers shall be entitled to any interest earned on
any portion of the Holdback Amount disbursed to the Sellers pursuant hereto. The
Holdback  Amount  shall  bear  simple  interest  at  the  rate  of 6% per annum.

               (v)     To   ensure   compliance   with   the   "continuity   of
interest"  requirements  under  Section  368 of the Code, and in accordance with
Section  2.09  hereunder, the parties agree that the Holdback Amount, subject to
the  adjustments  under Section 2,02(c)(iii), shall be payable to Sellers by (i)
issuing  to  each  Seller  the  Pro Rata Share of the number of shares of Parent
Common  Stock  determined by multiplying the Holdback Amount by sixty-five (65%)
and  dividing  the  resulting  product  by the average closing trading price per
share  of the Parent Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding
the  later  to  occur of (x) the date of the final determination of the Existing
Business Price Component pursuant to Section 2,03 and (y) the date the Aggregate
Merger  Consideration is adjusted pursuant to Section 2.07; and (ii) paying each
Seller  the  Pro  Rata  Share  of an amount in cash equal to the Holdback Amount
multiplied  by  thirty-five  percent  (35%),  but  only  if such cash payment is
permitted  under  the  loan  agreements  to  which  Parent  and  the  Surviving
Corporation  are  parties. If such agreements do not permit a cash payment under
this  Section 2,02(c), then the parties agree that the consideration required to
be  paid under this Section 2.02(c) shall be paid in Parent Common Stock, at the
price  per  share  equal  to  the average closing trading price per share of the
Parent

Common  Stock  for the ten trading days immediately preceding the later to occur
of  (x)  the  date  of  the  final  determination of the Existing Business Price
Component  pursuant  to  Section  2.03  and  (y)  the  date the Aggregate Merger
Consideration  is  adjusted  pursuant  to  Section  2.07.

     2.03     EXISTING  BUSINESS  PRICE  COMPONENT ADJUSTMENT. At the end of the
              ------------------------------------------------
Calculation  Period,  Parent  shall  calculate  the  Existing  Business  Price
Component,  and the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be adjusted as follows:

          (a)     If  the  Existing Business Price Component is greater than the
Estimated  Existing  Business Price Component (such difference being referred to
as  the  "Surplus  Amount"),  Parent shall pay to Sellers the difference by: (i)
          ---------------
issuing  to each Seller the Pro Rata Share of the number of shares determined by
multiplying  the  Surplus  Amount  by  sixty-five percent (65%) and dividing the
resulting  product  by  the Closing Share Price; and (ii) paying each Seller the
Pro  Rata  Share  of an amount in cash equal to the Surplus Amount multiplied by
thirty-five  percent (35%), but only if such cash payment is permitted under the
loan  agreements  to which Parent and the Surviving Corporation are parties.  If
such  agreements  do  not permit a cash payment under this Section 2.03(a), then
the parties agree that the consideration required to be paid under the preceding
Section 2.03(a)(ii) shall be paid in Parent Common Stock, at the price per share
equal  to  the  average closing trading price of the Parent Common Stock for the
ten  trading  days  immediately  preceding  MAY  1,  2009.

          (b)     If  the  Existing  Business  Price  Component is less than the
Estimated  Existing  Business  Price  Component  (the "Deficit Amount"), Sellers
                                                       --------------
shall  pay  to  Parent  the difference by forfeiting to Parent each Seller's Pro
Rata  Share of the number of shares determined by dividing the Deficit Amount by
the  Applicable  Share  Price  (the  "Forfeited Amount").  If the  value  of the
                                      ----------------
Forfeited  Amount  is  greater than the value of the Common Stock Portion of the
Existing  Business Price Component, Sellers shall forfeit their right to receive
all  or  a  portion  of  the  Holdback  Amount  (depending  on the amount of the
Forfeited  Amount),  and  such  forfeited  amount shall be paid to Parent.   For
purposes  of  this  Section  2,03,  the "Applicable Share  Price" shall mean the
                                        ------------------------
greater  of:  (i)  the  Closing Share Price; and (ii) the sum of (A) the average
closing  trading  price per share of the Parent Common Stock for the ten trading
days  immediately preceding MAY 1, 2007, multiplied by twenty percent (20%), (B)
                                         -------------
the  average  closing trading price per share of the Parent Common Stock for the
ten trading days immediately preceding MAY 1, 2008, multiplied by twenty percent
                                                    -------------
(20%),  and (C) the average closing trading price per share of the Parent Common
Stock  for the ten trading days immediately preceding MAY 1, 2009, multiplied by
                                                                   -------------
sixty  percent  (60%).

          (c)     For  purposes  of  clarity,  examples  of  the  agreed-upon
application  of  Sections  2.02  and  2.03  are  set  forth  on  SCHEDULE 2.03.
                                                                 --------------

     2.04     CONTINGENT PERFORMANCE INSTALLMENT.   Sellers shall have the right
              -----------------------------------
to receive contingent performance payments, based on the Surviving Corporation's
EBITDA  and  revenue  during  the  fourth  and  fifth 12-month periods following
Closing.  Such  payments,  if  earned,  shall be due and payable within 120 days
following the end of each such 12-month period.   The EBITDA and revenue targets
and  method of determining whether such targets have been achieved are set forth
on SCHEDULE 2.04. Any consideration due under this Section 2.04 shall be payable
   -------------
to Sellers in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares and, at their option in cash
or  stock,

                                        6
<PAGE>
provided  that,  in  the  event Sellers opt for cash, such cash payment shall be
subject  to  the  terms of the loan agreements to which Parent and the Surviving
Corporation  are  parties.  If  such  agreements  do  not permit payment of such
consideration  in  cash,  then the parties agree that the consideration shall be
paid in Parent Common Stock, at the price per share equal to the average closing
trading  price  of  the Parent Common Stock for the ten trading days immediately
preceding  MAY 1, 2010  for the fourth 12-month period following Closing, and at
the  price  per  share  equal to the average closing trading price of the Parent
Common  Stock for the ten trading days immediately preceding MAY 1, 2011 for the
fifth  12-month  period  following  Closing.

of  the  ordinary  course  accounts  receivable  as  of the Closing Date and the
ordinary  course  accounts  payable  as  of  the  Closing  Date  (the  "Closing

therein, the Closing Net Receivables Schedule delivered pursuant to this Section

and  binding  the  Parties.   In  the event the Parent and Sellers are unable to

days  following  the  Parent's  receipt  of  notice  of such dispute, Parent and
Sellers shall mutually select an independent certified public accounting firm of

                                        ------------------
which  has  been merged into any of the Related Companies, has given or may give

     3.05     INVESTMENT  REPRESENTATIONS.
              ----------------------------

          (a)  Each  Seller has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial
and  business  matters  to  be  able  to  evaluate  the  risks and merits of the
investment  represented  by  the issuance of the Parent Common Stock pursuant to
Section  2.01  (the  "Issued  Securities").
                      ------------------

                                        9
<PAGE>
          (b)     Each  Seller  is  aware  that  the business of Parent involves
significant  and  material  economic  variables  and  risks that could adversely
affect  such  Seller's  investment  in  the  Issued  Securities.

          (c)     Each  Seller  is  able  to  bear  the  economic  risks  of  an
investment  in  the  Issued Securities, including the risk of losing all of such
investment,  and  no  Seller  has  any  need  for liquidity with respect to such
investment.

          (d)     Each  Seller  acknowledges  that  no  prospectus,  offering
circular, or other offering statement containing information with respect to the
Issued  Securities  was  delivered  in connection with Sellers' investment. Each
Seller  has  made her or his own inquiry and analysis with respect to Parent and
Parent's business, and further represents that such Seller has had access, for a
reasonable  time  prior to the issuance of the Issued Securities, to information
concerning  Parent  and has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive
answers  from,  officers  of  Parent  concerning  an  investment  in  the Issued
Securities and the business, management, and financial affairs of Parent, and to
obtain  additional  information (to the extent Parent possessed such information
or  could acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense) necessary to verify
the accuracy of any information furnished to such Seller or to which such Seller
had  access.

          (e)     The  Issued Securities were not offered to Sellers by means of
publicly  disseminated  advertisements  or  sales  literature,  or  as part of a
general  solicitation,  nor  is  any  Seller  aware  of any offers made to other
persons  by  such  means,

          (f)     Each  Seller  acknowledges  that  he  or  she  either has been
supplied  with  or  has had access to information to which a reasonable investor
would  attach  significance  in making investment decisions.   In determining to
proceed  with this investment, each Seller has relied solely upon the results of
her  or his own independent investigation with respect to the Issued Securities.

          (g)     Each Seller is an "accredited investor" as defined in Rule 501
(a)  of  Regulation  D,  promulgated  under  the  Securities Act, which requires
individual  investors to either (i) have had individual income (exclusive of any
income  attributable  to  a  spouse)  of more than $200,000, or joint individual
income  with  a  spouse  of  more  than $300,000, in each of the two most recent
years,  and  a  reasonable  expectation  of reaching that level of income in the
current year, or (ii) have an individual net worth (or combined net worth with a
spouse)  in  excess  OF  $1,000,000.

          (h)     Each  Seller  is  acquiring  the  Issued  Securities  for such
Seller's own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any
distribution  thereof.  No  other  person  or  entity  will  have  any interest,
beneficial  or otherwise, in the Issued Securities that each Seller is acquiring
hereunder.  No  Seller  is  obligated  to  transfer the Issued Securities or any
portion  thereof  to  any  other  person or entity, nor does any Seller have any
agreement  or  understanding  to  do  so.

          (i)     Each  Seller acknowledges and agrees that such Seller may not,
directly  or indirectly, sell, assign, pledge, give, subject to lien or security
interest  or  otherwise dispose of or encumber (collectively, "Transfer") all or
any  part  of  the  Issued  Securities  except  in  a  manner

                                       10
<PAGE>
consistent  and  in  compliance  with  applicable  securities  laws. Each Seller
understands  that  the  Parent may, as a condition of any such Transfer, require
that  such  Seller  deliver  an  opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the
Parent to the effect that neither the sale nor the proposed Transfer will result
in  any violation of applicable state securities laws, the Securities Act or the
securities  law  of  any  other  jurisdiction.

          (j)     The  information  about  Parent  that  has  been  disclosed to
Sellers in connection with the acquisition of the Issued Securities is deemed to
be "Confidential Information"  of  Parent, and each Seller represents, warrants,
    ------------------------
and  hereby agrees that, unless Parent has consented in writing to the contrary,
such  Seller  shall  not disclose such Confidential Information to others or use
any  part  of  such  Confidential  Information  that  has been disclosed to such
Seller, except any part thereof (i) which may be in the public domain other than
through  improper  disclosure  by  such  Seller, (ii) which may be independently
disclosed  to  such  Seller  by  any  third  party  not itself in a confidential
relationship with Parent, (iii) which may already be in such Seller's possession
(other  than  through  disclosure  by  Parent or by any third party that is in a
confidential  relationship  with  Parent),  or  (iv)  which  such  Seller may be
required  to  disclose  by  order  of  a  court  or administrative agency having
competent  jurisdiction;  provided,  however,  that  this  paragraph  shall  be
terminated  and  be  of no force or effect with respect to any such Confidential
Information  becoming  a  part  of the public domain through action, directly or
indirectly,  by  anyone  other  than  such  Seller.

          (k)     The  agreements,  representations,  and warranties made herein
extend  to and apply to all portions of the Issued Securities. The acceptance by
each Seller of the Issued Securities shall constitute such Seller's confirmation
that  all  agreements and representations made in this Section 3.05 are true and
correct  at  such  time.

               (ii)     Compliance  With ERISA and the Code. Except as set forth
                        ------------------------------------
on  SCHEDULE 4.15(a)(ii), Company, its predecessors in interest, and all Company
    ---------------------
Affiliates  have  complied with all of their respective obligations with respect
to  all  Employee  Benefit  Plans  (including, but not limited to, (A) filing or
distributing  all  reports  or  notices  required  by ERISA or the Code, and (B)

laws  and  regulations  (including,  but not limited to, ERISA and the Code), No
party  in  interest or disqualified person (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA

Employee  Benefit  Plan  which  could  subject Company or any Company Affiliate,
directly  or indirectly, to a material tax, penalty, or other material liability
for  prohibited  transactions  under  ERISA  or  Section  4975  of  the Code. No
fiduciary of any Employee Benefit Plan has breached in any material respect, any
of the responsibilities or obligations imposed upon fiduciaries under Title I of
ERISA.  All  Employee  Benefit  Plans  have  been  established  and  maintained
substantially  in  accordance  with  their  terms  and  have  been  operated  in
compliance  in all material respects with all applicable legal requirements, and
may  by their terms be amended and/or terminated at any time without the consent
of  any  other person, subject to applicable legal requirements and the terms of
each  Employee  Benefit  Plan. Company and each Company Affiliate have performed
all  material obligations required to be performed by them under, and not in any
material  respect  in  default

Company  Affiliate  have  no  knowledge of any default or violation by any other
person  with  respect  to  any Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan
which  is  intended  to  be  qualified  under  Section 401(a) of the Code is the
subject of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service as
to  such plan's qualified status under Section 401(a) of the Code (or comparable
letter, such as an opinion or notification letter as to the form of plan adopted
by  Company  or  Company  Affiliate),  and,  to Company's knowledge, nothing has
occurred  since  the issuance of such letter which may reasonably be expected to
impair  such favorable determination or otherwise impair the qualified status of
such  plan.  All  contributions required to be made with respect to any Employee
Benefit  Plan  pursuant to Section 412 of the Code, or the terms of the Employee
Benefit Plan or any collective bargaining agreement, have been made on or before
their due dates (including any extensions thereof). No amendment to any Employee
Benefit  Plan or related trust has been adopted since receipt of the most recent
determination letter issued with respect to the Employee Benefit Plan or related
trust which would cause disqualification of the Employee Benefit Plan or related
trust  Neither  Company  nor  any  Company Affiliate sponsors, maintains, or has
direct  or  indirect  liability  under any "multiple employer welfare associate"
("MEWA")  within  the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA, or any plan of the type
  ----
described  in Sections 4063 and 4064 of ERISA or in Section 413 of the Code (and
the  regulations  promulgated  thereunder).

and  communications  distributed  to  plan  participants,  and  the  notices and
election  forms  used  to  notify  employees  and  their  dependents  of  their
continuation  coverage  rights  under  Company's  group health plans (under Code
Section  4980B(f)  and ERISA Section 606), if applicable; and (D) the three most

               (iv)     Agreements  To  Create,  Continue,  or  Terminate Plans.
                        --------------------------------------------------------
Neither  the Company, its predecessors in interest nor any Company Affiliate has
any agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding, whether legally binding
or  not,  to create any additional Employee Benefit Plan or to continue, modify,
change in any material respect, or terminate any existing Employee Benefit Plan.

               (v)     Agency  Review,  Taxes,  and Fiduciary Liability. None of
                       -------------------------------------------------
the Employee Benefit Plans is currently under investigation, audit, or review by
the  Department  of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service, or any other federal or
state agency or is liable for any federal, state, local, or foreign taxes. There
is  no  transaction  in connection with which Company, any Company Affiliate, or
any  fiduciary of any of the Employee Benefit Plans could be subject to either a
civil  penalty  assessed  pursuant  to  ERISA Section 502, a tax imposed by Code
Section 4975, or liability for a breach of fiduciary responsibility under ERISA.

               (vi)     Claims Against Plans and Fiduciaries. Other than routine
                        -------------------------------------
claims  for benefits payable to participants or beneficiaries in accordance with
the  terms  of  the  Employee  Benefit  Plans,  there  are no claims, pending or
threatened,  by  any  participant  or  beneficiary  against  any of the Employee
Benefit  Plans  or  any  fiduciary  of  any  of  the  Employee  Benefit  Plan.

               (vii)     Insurance  Reserves.  The  levels of insurance reserves
                         --------------------
and accrued liabilities with regard to all Employee Benefit Plans (to which such
reserves  or  liabilities  do  or  should  apply)  are  set  forth  on  SCHEDULE
                                                                        --------
4.15(a)(vii),  and  such levels are reasonable and sufficient to provide for all
------------
incurred  but  unreported  claims  and  any  retroactive  or prospective premium
adjustments.

               (viii)     Retiree Welfare Benefits. Company, its predecessors in
                          -------------------------
interest,  and  Company  Affiliates have not maintained an Employee Benefit Plan
providing  group  health,  dental,  vision,  life  insurance,  or  other welfare
benefits  to  employees  following  retirement  or other separation from service
(other  than  continuation  coverage  to  the  extent  required  by law, whether
pursuant  to  the  Consolidated  Omnibus  Budget  Reconciliation  Act of 1985 or
otherwise).

          (b)     Defined  Benefit  Plan  Matters.
                  --------------------------------

               (i)     List  of  Defined  Benefit  Plans.  SCHEDULE 4.15(b)(i)
                       ---------------------------------   -------------------
identifies  by  name  all  of  the Employee Benefit Plans that are pension plans
within  the meaning of ERISA Section 3(2) which are subject to Title IV of ERISA
(the  "Defined Benefit Plans"), and specifically identifies each of such Defined
       ---------------------
Benefit  Plans  that are multiemployer plans within the meaning of ERISA Section
3(37)(A)  as  multiemployer  plans.  There  is  no  Defined  Benefit  Plan  or
multiemployer  plan  maintained  by  any  Company  Affiliate under which Company
currently  has  or  potentially may have any obligation or liability whatsoever,
including,  but  not  limited  to, any liability which would be identified by or
arise  from  the  issues  detailed  in  this  subsection  (b).

               (ii)     PBGC Premiums and Termination Liability. No liability to
                        ----------------------------------------
the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has been incurred with respect
to  the  Defined  Benefit  Plans.  All premiums due and payable to the PBGC with
respect to the Defined Benefit Plans have been paid in a timely manner. The PBGC
has not instituted proceedings to terminate any of the Defined Benefit Plans. No
event  has  occurred,  and  there  exists  no  condition  or  set  of

                                       22
<PAGE>
circumstances,  which  could result in the involuntary termination of any of the
Defined Benefit Plans by the PBGC pursuant to ERISA Section 4042. Moreover, even
if  a Defined Benefit Plan were terminated voluntarily pursuant to ERISA Section
4041,  neither  the  Company,  its  predecessors  in  interest  nor  any Company
Affiliate  would  have any liability to the PBGC as a result of the termination.

               (iii)     Reportable  Events.  With  respect  to  each  Employee
                         -------------------
Benefit  Plan, no "reportable event" within the meaning of Section 4043 of ERISA
(excluding  any  such  event  for  which  the 30-day notice requirement has been
waived  under  the  regulations to Section 4043 of ERISA) has occurred for which
there  is  any  material  outstanding  liability  to  Company,  nor  would  the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (including the execution of
this  Agreement)  constitute  a  reportable  event  for  which the 30-day notice
requirement has not been waived. Company has not incurred nor does it reasonably
expect  to  incur  any  material  liability  under Title IV of ERISA, including,
without  limitation,  any material liability arising out of or resulting from an
event  described  in  Section 4041, 4062, or 4063 of ERISA (other than liability
for  premium  payments  to the PBGC arising in the Ordinary Course of Business).

               (iv)     Full Funding on a Termination Basis. The current present
                        ------------------------------------
value  of  all  projected  benefit obligations under each of the Defined Benefit
Plans did not, as of the latest valuation date, exceed the then-current value of
the  assets allocable to such benefit liabilities, based on reasonable actuarial
assumptions  currently  used for such Defined Benefit Plan. In addition, each of
the  Defined Benefit Plans is fully funded on a termination basis, such that the
net  fair  market value of the assets equals or exceeds the present value of the
accrued  benefits  under  such  Defined  Benefit  Plan, based upon the actuarial
assumptions  required  by  the  PBGC  for  determining benefits on a termination
basis.  Nothing has occurred since the end of the most recently completed fiscal
year  that  would  adversely  affect  the  funding status of the Defined Benefit
Plans,  and neither Company nor any Company Affiliate has knowledge or reason to
know  of  any  such  occurrence.

               (v)     No Accumulated Funding Deficiency. No accumulated funding
                       ----------------------------------
deficiency  as defined in Section 302(a)(2) of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code,
whether  or not waived and regardless of the reason arising, exists with respect
to  any Defined Benefit Plan, nor have any extensions of any amortization period
within  the  meaning  of  Section  302  of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code been
applied  for  with  respect  thereto,

               (vi)     Termination.  None of the Defined Benefit Plans has been
                        ------------
terminated  or  partially terminated, nor have there been any events which might
constitute  grounds  for  such  a  termination  or  partial  termination.

               (vii)     Effect  of  Transaction.  Neither the consideration nor
                         ------------------------
the  implementation  of  the transactions contemplated under this Agreement will
increase  or  create  (A)  the liability of Company or any Company Affiliate, or
their  obligation  to  make contributions or any other payments to fund benefits
accrued under the Employee Benefit Plans, or (B) the benefits accrued or payable
with  respect  to  any participant under the Employee Benefit Plans. Each of the
Employee Benefit Plans may be amended or terminated at any time by action of the
plan  sponsor's board of directors, a committee of such board of directors, or a
duly  authorized

                                       23
<PAGE>
officer,  in  each  case  subject  to the terms of the Employee Benefit Plan and
compliance  with  applicable  legal  requirements.

     4.16     COLLECTIVE BARGAINING. Except as set forth on SCHEDULE 4.16, there
              ----------------------                        --------------
are  no  labor  contracts,  collective  bargaining  agreements,  letters  of
understanding,  or  other  arrangements,  formal  or informal, with any union or
labor  organization  covering  any  of  Company's  employees,  and  none of said
employees  are  represented by any union or labor organization. Company has made
available  to Parent a true, correct, and complete copy of each agreement listed
on  SCHEDULE  4.16.  Except  as  set  forth on SCHEDULE 4.16, Company is not the
    ---------------                            --------------
subject  of  any  collective  bargaining  or  union  organizing  activity.

     4.17     LABOR  DISPUTES.  Company  is  in  compliance with all federal and
              ----------------
state  laws  respecting  employment  and  employment practices and the terms and
conditions of employment, including wages and hours, labor relations, employment
discrimination,  disability  rights or benefits, equal opportunity, plan closure
or  mass  layoff  issues,  affirmative  action,  leaves of absence, occupational
health and safety, workers* compensation, and unemployment insurance. Company is
not  and  has not been engaged in any unfair labor practice, and no unfair labor
practice  complaint  against  Company  is  pending  before  the  National  Labor
Relations  Board.  Neither Company nor any Seller knows or has reason to know of
any  labor  strike, slowdown, work stoppage, charges of discrimination, or other
labor  trouble  actually pending, being threatened against Company, or affecting
Company. Relations between management and labor are amicable, and there have not
been,  nor are there presently, any attempts to organize non- union employees or
plans  for  any  such  attempts.

     4.18     BANK  ACCOUNTS.  SCHEDULE  4.18 sets forth a complete and accurate
              --------------   --------------
list  of  each  bank or financial institution in which Company has an account or
safe  deposit  box (giving the address and account numbers) and the names of the
persons  authorized  to  draw  thereon  or  to  have  access  thereto.

it  is  now  being  conducted, to own or lease its properties and assets, and to
effect  the  transactions contemplated hereunder.   Parent is duly qualified and
in  good  standing  in each jurisdiction in which the conduct of the Business of
Company  or  the  ownership  of  its  properties and assets requires it to be so
qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified or in such good standing,

failures,  is not reasonably likely to have a Parent Material Adverse Effect, As

however,  that,  when  determining  if  a  Parent  Material  Adverse  Effect has
--------
occurred,  the  parties  shall  not  consider any such effect resulting from any
change  (i)  in  law, rule, or regulation, GAAP, or interpretations thereof that
applies  to  both Parent and Company, or (ii) in economic or business conditions
generally  or  in  the cell tower management and environmental services industry
specifically.

and  in  good  standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation and has

consolidation,  business  combination, sale of all or any substantial portion of
the  capital  stock  of  Company,  or  liquidation  or  similar  extraordinary
transaction  with  respect to Company.   Company and Sellers shall notify Parent
orally (within two business days) and in writing (as promptly as practicable) of
all  relevant terms of any inquiry or proposal by a third party to do any of the
foregoing  that  Company,  any  of Sellers, or any of their respective officers,
directors,  partners,  managers,  employees,  investment  bankers,  financial
advisors,  attorneys, accountants, or other representatives may receive relating
to  any  of  such  matters. In the event such inquiry or proposal is in writing,
Company  and  Sellers shall deliver to Parent a copy of such inquiry or proposal
together  with  such  written  notice.

     6.10     CONFIDENTIALITY.  Company and each Seller shall hold in confidence
              ----------------
at  all  times  following the date hereof all Confidential Information and shall
not  disclose,  publish, or make use of the Confidential Information at any time
following the date hereof without the prior written consent of Parent, except as
required  by  law  or court order. In the event that Company or Sellers shall be
required  (by  deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil
investigate  demand,  or  similar  process)  to disclose any of the Confidential
Information,  Company  and  Sellers  shall  provide the Parent with prompt prior
written  notice  of  such requirement, and agree to furnish only that portion of
the  Confidential  Information  which  Company or Sellers are advised by written
opinion  of counsel is legally required, and Company and Sellers shall use their
best  efforts  to  obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded  such  Confidential  Information. For purposes hereunder, "Confidential
                                                                    ------------
Information" shall mean  any  data  or  information  of Company (including trade
-----------
secrets) that is not generally known to the public or competitors regarding (for
example  and  including,  but  not limited to): (a) Business process models; (b)
proprietary  software; (c) research, development, products, services, marketing,
selling,  Business  plans,  budgets, unpublished financial statements, licenses,
prices,  costs,  contracts,  suppliers,  customers,  and customer lists; (d) the
identity,  skills,  and compensation of employees, contractors, and consultants;
(e)  specialized  training;  (f)  discoveries,  developments,  trade  secrets,
processes, formulas, data, lists, and all other works of authorship, mask works,
ideas,  concepts,  know-how,  designs, and techniques, whether or not any of the
foregoing  is  or  are  patentable,  copyrightable,  or  registrable  under  any
intellectual  property  laws or industrial property laws in the United States or
elsewhere;  and  (g)  such other information that may give Company a competitive
business  advantage  or  the  disclosure  of  which  could be detrimental to the
interests of Company and from all of the relevant circumstances could reasonably
be  assumed  by  any  person  or  entity  to  be confidential and proprietary to
Company.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  no  data  or information constitutes
Confidential  Information  if  such data or information is publicly known and in
the  public  domain through means that do not involve a breach by Company or any
Seller  of  any  covenant  or  obligation  set  forth  in  this  Agreement.

     6.11     TAXATION.   Subject  to  Section  6.07, neither Parent nor Company
              ---------
shall  take  or  cause  to  be  taken  any  action,  whether before or after the
Effective  Time,  that  would disqualify the Merger as a "reorganization" within
the  meaning  of  Section  368(a)  of  the  Code,

     6.12     AFFILIATES. On or prior to the Closing Date, Company shall deliver
              -----------
to  Parent  a  list of the names and addresses of those persons and entities who
are,  in  the  opinion of Company, "affiliates" of Company within the meaning of
Rule  145  under  the  Securities  Act.    Company  shall provide to Parent such
information  and  documents  as  Parent shall reasonably request for purposes of
preparing  such  list. There shall be added to such list the name and address of
any  other  person or entity subsequently identified by either Parent or Company
as  a  person  or  entity  who may be deemed to be such an affiliate of Company;
provided,  however,  that  no  such  person

                                       42
<PAGE>
or  entity  identified  by  Parent  shall  be added to the list of affiliates of
Company  if  Parent  shall receive from Company an opinion of counsel reasonably
satisfactory  to  Parent to the effect that such person or entity is not such an
affiliate.  Company  shall  exercise  its best efforts to deliver or cause to be
delivered  to Parent, from each affiliate of Company identified in the foregoing
list  (as  the  same may be supplemented as aforesaid), a letter dated as of the
Closing  Date substantially in the form attached as EXHIBIT 6.12 (the "Affiliate
                                                    ------------       ---------
Letter").  The  certificates  representing  Parent Common Stock received by such
------
affiliates  shall  bear  a  customary legend regarding applicable Securities Act
restrictions  and  the  provisions  of  this  Section  6.12,

     6.13     PUBLICITY.   The  initial  press  release  shall  be a joint press
              ----------
release,  and  thereafter Parent and Sellers shall consult with each other prior
to  issuing  any press releases or otherwise making  public  announcements  with
respect  to  the  Merger  and  the  other  transactions  contemplated  by  this
Agreement  and  prior  to  making  any  filings  with any third party and/or any
Governmental  Entity  (including any national securities exchange or interdealer
quotation  service) with respect thereto, except as may be required by law or by
obligations  pursuant  to  any  listing  agreement with or rules of any national
securities  exchange  or  interdealer  quotation  service.

     6.14     BENEFITS.  Parent  agrees that during the period commencing on the
              ---------
Closing  Date  and  ending  on  the  first anniversary thereof, the employees of
Company  will continue to be provided with benefits under employee benefit plans
(other  than  plans  involving  the  issuance  of  Company  Shares) that are not
substantially  less  favorable in the aggregate than those currently provided by
Company  to such employees. To the extent disclosed in the Disclosure Schedules,
Parent  shall,  and shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, honor all employee
benefit  obligations  to current and former employees under the Employee Benefit
Plans  and  all  employee severance plans (or policies) in existence on the date
hereof  and  all  employment  or  severance  agreements entered into by Company,

     6.15     REGISTRATION  RIGHTS.
              ---------------------

          (a)  Registration.  On  or  prior  to  the 75th day after the Closing,
               -------------
Parent  shall  prepare  and  file  with the SEC a registration statement on Form
SB-2,  or  such  other  appropriate  form  for  which Parent is then eligible in
accordance  herewith  (the "Registration Statement"), covering the resale of the
                            ----------------------
Parent  Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Agreement at the Closing (the
"Registrable  Securities")  to the extent then registrable pursuant to the rules
 -----------------------
and  regulations  of  the  SEC  for an offering to be made on a continuous basis
pursuant  to  Rule  415.  Only  one  Registration  Statement  shall  be required
hereunder.  To  the extent any of the Registrable Securities may not be included
on  the Registration Statement pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC,
as  determined  in  the  good  faith  judgment  of  Parent's  counsel, then such
Registrable  Securities shall not be included on such Registration Statement and
shall  be entitled to the registration rights described as "Piggyback Rights" in
Section  6.15(c)  below.  Parent  Common Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement
shall  cease  to  be Registrable Securities if sold or transferred by Sellers to
any  other  person  and,  in  any event, on and after such date when such Parent
Common  Stock  may  be  sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k)
under  the  Securities  Act  as  determined  by  counsel to Parent pursuant to a
written  opinion  letter  to  such  effect, addressed and acceptable to Parent's
transfer  agent  and  the  affected  Sellers,  Parent shall use its commercially
reasonable  efforts  to  cause  the  Registration  Statement

                                       43
<PAGE>
to  be declared effective under  the Securities Act as soon as practicable after
the  01ing  thereof,  but  in  any  event on or prior to the 180th day after the
Closing  Date.  Further, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to
keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act,
subject to Section 6.15(b) below, for a period of one year following the Closing
Date.

          (b)     Suspension  Rights.    Notwithstanding  anything herein to the
                  -------------------
contrary,  Parent  shall  have  the right to suspend the use of the Registration
Statement  for  a  period  not greater than 45 consecutive days and for not more
than  90  days in any 12-month period (the "Suspension Period"), if, in the good
                                            -----------------
faith  opinion  of  the  Board  of  Directors of Parent, after consultation with
counsel,  material, nonpublic information exists, including, without limitation,
the  proposed acquisition or divestiture of assets by Parent or the existence of
pending material corporate developments, the public disclosure of which would be
necessary  to  cause  the  Registration  Statement  to be materially true and to
contain no material misstatements or omissions, and in each such case, where, in
the  good-faith  opinion  of  the  Board of Directors of Parent, such disclosure
would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on Parent or on the
proposed  transaction  or  Parent  requires  time  to  prepare  a post-effective
amendment  to  the  Registration  Statement  in  order to disclose such material
information,  Parent  shall  give  Sellers notice promptly upon knowledge that a
Suspension  Period (without indicating the nature of such Suspension Period) may
occur  and  prompt  written  notice  if a Suspension Period will occur, and such
notices  must  be  acknowledged in writing by Sellers.    During the pendency of
any Suspension Period, no holder of Parent Common Stock registered for resale on
such  Registration  Statement shall attempt any public resale of such securities
by  the  Registration  Statement.  Upon  the  conclusion of a Suspension Period,
Parent  shall  provide Sellers written notice that the Registration Statement is
again  available  for  use.

          (c)     Piggyback  Rights.  In  addition,  each  time  Parent  shall
                  ------------------
determine to file a registration statement under the Securities Act (excluding a
registration  on  Form S-4 or S-8, or successor forms thereto, or a registration
statement  on  Form  S-l  or  SB-2  covering solely an employee benefit plan) in
connection  with the proposed offer and sale for money of any of its securities,
either  for  its  own  account or on behalf of any other security holder, Parent
shall give prompt written notice of such determination to Sellers. Sellers shall
provide  a  written  request  to  Parent  if  they desire to participate in such
registration  (the  "Sellers  Notice"),  stating  the number of shares of Parent
                     ---------------
Common  Stock then constituting Registrable Securities to be registered, and the
Sellers  Notice  must  be  given within ten days after the receipt by Sellers of
Parent's  notice.  Upon  receipt  of  the  Sellers  Notice,  except as expressly
provided  otherwise  in  this  Section 6.15(c), Parent shall cause all shares of
Parent  Common  Stock  constituting Registrable Securities with respect to which
Sellers  have  requested  registration  to  be  included  in  such  registration
statement  and  registered under the Securities Act, all to the extent requisite
to permit the sale or other disposition by Sellers of the Parent Common Stock to
be  so  registered.  Parent  shall  have  the  right to withdraw and discontinue
registration  pursuant  to  this  Section 6.15(c) of the shares of Parent Common
Stock  if  at  any time prior to the Closing Date of the registration statement,
the  registration  of the securities to be registered on behalf of Parent or any
other  participating  security  holder  is  withdrawn  or  discontinued.  If the
registration  for  which  Parent  gives  written notice pursuant to this Section
6.15(c)  is  for  a  public  offering involving an underwriting, Parent shall so
advise  Sellers  as  a  part  of  its  written  notice. In such event, the right

                                       44
<PAGE>
of Sellers to registration pursuant to this Section 6.15(c) shall be conditioned
upon  Sellers'  participation  in  such  underwriting  as  selling  stockholders
(including  the execution and delivery of the applicable underwriting agreement)
and  the  inclusion  of  such  Sellers'  shares  of  Parent  Common Stock in the
underwriting  to  the  extent  provided  herein. Parent shall not be required to
include  any  of  the  shares  of  Parent  Common Stock constituting Registrable
Securities  in  any  registration  statement  to  the extent the public offering
involves  an underwriting and the managing underwriter thereof advises Parent in
writing  that  in  their  opinion  the  number  of shares of Parent Common Stock
requested  to  be included exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering,
at  a  price reasonably related to fair market value. To the extent the managing
underwriter  provides such advice and all securities other than securities to be
registered  pursuant  to  this Section 6.15(c) are to be registered on behalf of
Parent,  the  shares  of  Parent  Common  Stock  to be included pursuant to this
Section  6.15(c)  shall  be  reduced pro rata, taking into account the number of
shares requested to be registered by each Seller in relation to the total number
of shares to be registered. To the extent the managing underwriter provides such
advice and shares of Parent Common Stock are to be included in such registration
statement  on  behalf of other participating stockholders as well as pursuant to
this  Section  6.15(c), the shares to be included in such registration statement
shall  be  reduced,  first,  by  reducing  pro  rata  among  such  other selling
stockholders  the number of shares to be registered on their behalf, taking into
account  the  number  of shares requested to be registered by such other selling
stockholders  in  relation  to  the total number of shares to be registered and,
second,  reducing  pro  rata  the number of shares to be registered on behalf of
Seller  pursuant to this Section 6.15(c), unless the agreement giving such other
selling  stockholders  the right to participate in such registration was entered
into  prior  to the date of this Agreement and provides for a different priority
of  exclusion,  in  which event such other priority shall apply. Notwithstanding
anything  herein  to  the  contrary,  Parent  shall  not be required to register
Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to  this  Section 6.15(c) on any registration
statement  prepared  for  the  resale of securities where the right of the other
security holder to require such registration statement was contractually entered
into prior to the date of this Agreement, to the extent that such other security
holder  has  the  right  to  exclude  other  holders  of  securities  from  such
registration  statement.

          (d)     Procedure.  If  and  whenever  Parent  is  required  by  the
                  ----------
provisions  of  this  Section  6.15  to  effect  the  registration  of shares of
Registrable  Securities  under the Securities Act, Parent, at its expense and as
expeditiously  as possible, shall, in accordance with the Securities Act and all
applicable  rules  and regulations, prepare and file with the SEC a registration
statement  with  respect  to  such  securities.  Parent  shall  use commercially
reasonable  efforts  to  cause  such registration statement to become and remain
effective  to  the extent required hereby and, during such period, shall prepare
and  file  with  the  SEC  such  amendments and supplements to such registration
statement  and the prospectus contained therein as may be necessary to keep such
registration  statement effective and such registration statement and prospectus
accurate  and  complete,  subject  to  any Suspension Period pursuant to Section
6.15(b)  hereof.  Parent  shall  furnish  to  Sellers  participating  in  such
registration  and to the underwriters of securities being registered such number
of  copies  of  the  registration  statement  and  each amendment and supplement
thereto,  the  preliminary  prospectus,  the  final  prospectus,  and such other
documents  as  such  underwriters and holders may reasonably request in order to
facilitate  the  public  offering  of such securities. In addition, Parent shall
otherwise take such other actions as are necessary and appropriate to effect any
such  registration  in  compliance  with  all  provisions  of  the  Securities

                                       45
<PAGE>
Act  and  all  applicable  state securities laws, including, without limitation,
using  its  best  efforts  to register or qualify the securities covered by such
registration  statement  under  such  state  securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as reasonably necessary to effect the sale thereof, and such other
actions  as  Sellers shall reasonably request (provided that Parent shall not be
required  thereby  to  qualify  to  do business in such jurisdiction or consent,
generally,  to  the  service  of  process therein). Parent shall promptly inform
Sellers of any and all correspondence between Parent and the SEC with respect to
such registration. Parent shall pay all expenses of any registration pursuant to
this  Section  6.15;  provided, however, that if the offering in connection with
which  the  securities  are  registered is an underwritten public offering, each
Seller  shall  pay any commissions or brokerage fees applicable to the shares of
Parent  Common Stock registered on her or his behalf and in all events shall pay
the  fees  and  costs  of  her  or  his  counsel.

          (e)     Compliance.   Sellers covenant and agree that they will comply
                  -----------
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to
them  in  connection  with  sales  of  Registrable  Securities  pursuant  to  a
registration  statement  under  this  Section  6.15.

          (f)     Seller Information.  As a condition to the registration of any
                  -------------------
Registrable  Securities  under this Section 6.15, Parent may require each Seller
to  furnish  to  Parent  (i) a certified statement as to the number of shares of
Parent  Common Stock then beneficially owned by such Seller and, if requested by
the  SEC,  the  controlling  person  thereof, (ii) a description of any material
relationship between such Seller and Parent, its predecessors, or its affiliates
within  the  past three years, and (iii) such other information regarding Seller
as  is  required  for such registration by the rules and regulations of the SEC.

     6.16     RULE  144  EXEMPTIONS.  Parent  will  use  commercially reasonable
              ----------------------
efforts  to  file in a timely manner all reports required under the Exchange Act
in  order to afford Sellers the benefits of Rule 144. Parent will cooperate with
Sellers,  to  the  extent  required from time to time, to enable Sellers to sell
their shares of Parent Common Stock without registration, within the limitations
of  the  exemptions  provided  by  Rule  144.

     6.17     DISSOLUTION OF LFC ENVIRONMENTAL, INC.   Parent  shall  receive
              --------------------------------------
evidence  satisfactory  to  Parent  that Sellers have used their best efforts to
cause  LFC  Environmental,  Inc. to be dissolved as soon as practicably possible
following  Closing.

     6.18     BUSINESS  OPERATION.   During  the  period  following  the Closing
              --------------------
through April 30, 2011, Parent will (i) in connection with the management of the
Business,  employ  management  practices  substantially  consistent  with  the
management  practices  Parent employs with respect to its other businesses, (ii)
operate  the  Business  in  a commercially reasonable manner consistent with the
objective  of maximizing the long term return of the Business, and (iii) refrain
from  taking any action designed solely to prevent Sellers from having the right
to  receive  payments  under  Sections  2.03  and  2.04  of  this  Agreement.

failure  to  make  or  to  obtain them is not, individually or in the aggregate,

would  be  subject  to  the  risk  of  criminal or material financial liability.

     7.02     LITIGATION.     No  court  or  Governmental  Entity  of  competent

     10.03     INDEMNIFICATION  PROCEDURE.
               ---------------------------

          (a)     Promptly  following receipt by a Parent-Indemnified Party or a
Seller- Indemnified Party, as applicable (an "Indemnified Party") of notice by a
                                              -----------------
third  party  (including  any Governmental Entity) of any complaint, dispute, or
claim  or  the  commencement  of any audit, investigation, action, or proceeding
with  respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment
from the other party for any Parent Losses or any Seller Losses (as the case may
be),  such  Indemnified Party shall notify Parent or Sellers, as the case may be
(the "Indemnifying Party"); provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
      ------------------    ------------------
Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder
with respect to such claim only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to
so  notify  the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying
Party  of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with
respect  to  such  claim.   The  Indemnifying  Party  shall have the right, upon
written  notice  delivered  to  the  Indemnified Party within 20 days thereafter
assuming full responsibility for any Parent Losses or Seller Losses (as the case
may  be)  resulting  from  such  audit, investigation, action, or proceeding, to
assume  the  defense  of  such  audit,  investigation,  action,  or  proceeding,
including  the  employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party  and  the  payment  of  the fees and disbursements of such counsel. In the
event,  however,  that  the  Indemnifying  Party declines or fails to assume the
defense of the audit, investigation, action, or proceeding on the terms provided
above  or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in
either  case  within  such  20-day  period, then any Parent Losses or any Seller
Losses  (as the case may be) shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements
of counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred.   In any audit, investigation,
action,  or  proceeding for which indemnification is being sought hereunder, the
Indemnified  Party  or  the  Indemnifying  Party,  whichever is not assuming the
defense  of  such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and
to retain its own counsel at such party's own expense. The Indemnifying Party or
the  Indemnified  Party  (as  the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable
efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be)
reasonably  apprised  of  the  status of any matter in which it is maintaining a
defense  and to cooperate in good faith with the other party with respect to the
defense  of  any  such  matter.

          (b)     No  Indemnified  Party  may  settle or compromise any claim or
consent  to  the  entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is
being  sought  hereunder  without  the prior written consent of the Indemnifying
Party,  unless  (i)  the  Indemnifying  Party  fails  to assume and maintain the
defense  of  such  claim  pursuant to Section 10,03(a), or (ii) such settlement,
compromise,  or  consent  includes  an unconditional release of the Indemnifying
Party  and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from all liability
arising  out  of  such  claim.  An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior
written  consent  of  the  Indemnified  Party, settle or compromise any claim or
consent  to  the  entry  of  any  judgment  with  respect  to  which

                                       52
<PAGE>
indemnification  is  being  sought  hereunder  unless  (A)  such  settlement,
compromise,  or  consent  includes  an  unconditional release of the Indemnified
Party  and its officers, directors, employees, and affiliates from all liability
arising  out  of  such  claim,  (B)  does not contain any admission or statement
suggesting  any  wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and
(C)  does  not contain any equitable order, judgment, or term that in any manner
affects,  restrains, or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or
any  of  the  Indemnified  Party's  affiliates.

          (c)     In  the  event  an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment
pursuant  hereto, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim
to  the  appropriate  Indemnifying  Party  (a "Notice of Claim"). Such Notice of
                                               ---------------
Claim  shall  specify  the  basis for such claim. The failure by any Indemnified
Party  so  to  notify  the Indemnifying party shall not relieve the Indemnifying
Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect
to  any  claim  made pursuant to this Section 10.03(c), it being understood that
notices  for  claims in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty must
be  delivered  prior  to  the  expiration  of  the  survival  period  for  such
representation or warranty under 10.04. In the event the Indemnifying Party does
not  notify  the  Indemnified Party within 30 days following its receipt of such
notice  that  the  Indemnifying  Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified
Party  under  this  Article  X or the amount thereof, the claim specified by the
Indemnified  Party  in  such  Notice  of  Claim  shall  be conclusively deemed a
liability  of  the Indemnifying Party under this Article X, and the Indemnifying
Party  shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand
or,  in  the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion
of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or
such  portion  of  such  claim)  becomes  finally  determined.  In the event the
Indemnifying  Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim
as  provided  above,  as  promptly  as  possible, such Indemnified Party and the
appropriate  Indemnifying  Party  shall  establish the merits and amount of such
claim  (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration, or otherwise), and, within
five business days following the final determination of the merits and amount of
such  claim,  the  Indemnifying  Party  shall  pay  to  the  Indemnified  Party
immediately  available  funds  in  an  amount  equal to such claim as determined
hereunder.

     10.04     SURVIVAL  PERIOD.  The  representations  and  warranties  of  the
               -----------------
parties  contained  herein  shall  not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall
survive  the  Closing  for,  and  all  claims  for indemnification in connection
therewith  shall  be asserted not later than, eighteen (18) months following the
Closing  Date;  provided,  however,  that  the  representations  and  warranties
                -------------------
contained  in  Section  3.01 (Power, Authority and Organization of the Sellers),
Section  3.03  (Ownership of the Company Shares), Section 4.02 (Organization and
Authorization),  Section  4.03  (Authorized and Outstanding Stock), Section 4.15
(Employee Benefits), Section 4.19 (Environmental Matters), and Section 4.27 (Tax
Matters)  (collectively,  the  "Surviving  Representations") shall survive until
                               -----------------------------
sixty  (60)  days  following  the  expiration  of  the  applicable  statute  of
limitations,  and  the  period  during  which a claim for indemnification may be
asserted  in connection therewith shall continue for a period of sixty (60) days
following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. The covenants
and  agreements  of the parties hereunder shall survive without limitation as to
time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in
connection therewith shall continue indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
if,  prior  to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification
may  be  asserted  hereunder,  an

                                       53
<PAGE>
Indemnifying  Party  shall  have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity
hereunder  and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at
such  date,  such  claim  shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for
indemnity  hereunder  until  such  claim  is  finally resolved or disposed of in
accordance  with  the  terms  hereof.

     10.05     LIABILITY  LIMITS. Notwithstanding  anything  to the contrary set
              ------------------
forth  herein,  the  Parent-Indemnified  Parties  shall  not  make  a  claim
against  Company  and   Sellers   for indemnification under Section 10.01(c) for
Parent  Losses  unless  and  until  the  aggregate  amount of such Parent Losses
exceeds  $100,000  (the "Parent Basket"), in which event the Parent- Indemnified
                         -------------
Parties  may  claim  indemnification only to the extent the Parent Losses exceed
the  Parent  Basket;  provided, however, that the representations and warranties
                      --------- --------
contained  in Sections 3.03 (Ownership of Company Shares) and 4.27 (Tax Matters)
shall  not  be subject to the Parent Basket.   The total aggregate amount of the
liability  of Company and Sellers for Parent Losses with respect any claims made
pursuant  to Section 10.01(c) shall be limited to $5,000,000 (the "Parent Cap");
                                                                   ------ ---
provided,  however,  that the total aggregate amount of the liability of Company
---------  --------
and  Sellers  for Parent Losses arising out of fraud or willful misconduct shall
not  be  subject  to  any  limits.

     10.06     INVESTIGATIONS.   The  respective  representations and warranties
              ---------------
of  the parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document
delivered  by  any  party  at  or  prior  to  the  Closing  and  the  rights  to
indemnification  set  forth in Article X shall not be deemed waived or otherwise
affected by any investigation made by a party.    Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Parent  shall  use its reasonable best efforts to promptly notify Sellers of any
questions or concerns that may arise regarding any representations or warranties
required  by this Agreement from Company or Sellers from information transferred
between  the  Parties  during  such  consultations;  provided, however, that any
failure  to provide such notice shall not affect any of Parent's or Merger Sub's
rights  hereunder.

     10.07    SETOFF. Parent shall be entitled to set off any amount or right to
              -------
which  Parent  may  be  entitled  pursuant to this Agreement against any amount,
right,  or  obligation  (including  the  obligation  to deliver shares of Parent
Common Stock) owed to Sellers under this Agreement or any agreement or documents
executed  and  delivered  by  a  Seller  in  connection  with  the  transactions
contemplated  by  this  Agreement.    However, if any setoff is determined to be
inappropriate,  Parent shall repay such sums to Sellers, with interest at a rate
equal  to  six  percent  (6%).

     10.08    EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The indemnification provisions of this Article X
              -----------------
are  the sole and exclusive remedy for Parent and Merger Sub with respect to any
claimed  breach of this Agreement by Company or Sellers; provided, however, that
                                                         --------  -------
this  exclusive  remedy  for  damages does not preclude a party from bringing an
action  for specific performance or other equitable remedy to require a party to
perform  its obligations under this Agreement.   Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary  in  this Section 10.08, in the event of a fraudulent or willful breach
of  the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained herein by
the  Parent  or Sellers, any Indemnified Party shall have all remedies available
at  law  or  in  equity  (including  for  tort)  with  respect  thereto.
