    FIRST:
      This
      Agreement and compliance with this Agreement shall not be construed as an
      admission by either party to the Agreement of any liability whatsoever, or
      as an
      admission by either party of any violation of the rights of either party or
      any
      person, violation of any order, law, statute, duty, or contract whatsoever
      against either party or any person. Both Parties specifically disclaim any

      order, law, statute, duty, or contract on the part of the Company, its employees
      or agents or related companies or their employees or agents. 

    

    SECOND: (a) Executive
      understands and agrees that she has had the opportunity to consider this
      Agreement for a full twenty-one (21) days from its receipt (Executive can
      voluntarily sign earlier) and that she did not execute this Agreement without
      first being advised in writing to consult with an attorney. On the Effective
      Date as defined in paragraph SEVENTH (g) below, so long as Exectuive has not
      exercised her right of revocation, the Parties agree that: 

    

    (1)
      Executive shall have resigned from all executive and employment positions with
      the Company, and shall no longer be an active employee of the Company, as of
      February 1, 2008. 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    

    (2)
      Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date as defined in paragraph
      SEVENTH (g) below,
      Executive shall be paid all amounts properly due and owing to Executive as
      a
      result of her employment with Company, and her resignation therefrom, through
      such Effective Date, less required withholdings. Payment shall be by written

      of such plans. Thereafter, Executive shall be entitled, to the extent she is
      eligible, to continue such benefit coverage under COBRA. The Company hereby
      agrees to pay its portion of the COBRA premium charged to Executive, consistent
      with the Company’s past practices with respect to benefits payments made for and
      on behalf of Executive, for continuation of benefits under the Company group
      health insurance and other benefit plans until the expiration of the Consulting
      Term, after which time Executive shall be responsible for paying any and all
      premiums for continuation of such benefits. 

    

    (4)
      Executive shall have all rights, if any, to exercise any and all existing stock
      options held by Executive, as vested through February 1, 2008, pursuant to
      (i)
      that certain Stock Option Agreement dated December 31, 2005 (the “2005
      Stock Option Agreement”),
      originally issued by VM Direct L.L.C., a Nevada limited liability company and
      wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and subsequently assigned and assumed
      by
      the Company, and (ii) that certain Stock Option Agreement dated June 29, 2007,
      issued under the DigitalFX International, Inc. 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the
      “2007
      Stock Option Agreement,”
and
      together with the 2005 Stock Option Agreement, the “Stock
      Option Agreements”).

      consideration of the above, Executive hereby releases all existing claims
      against Company, as specified in Paragraph FIFTH.

      above
      stated consideration shall be paid to Executive as severance and will also
      serve
      to constitute full and complete settlement of all claims and potential claims
      against the Company. 

    

    (c) Executive
      agrees that the foregoing payments shall constitute the entire amount of
      consideration (monetary or otherwise) provided to her under this Agreement
      (except as described in Paragraph SECOND (d) below) and that she will not seek
      any further compensation for any other claimed damage, costs, or attorneys'

    (e) Executive
      agrees that from February 1, 2008 until February 1, 2009, she shall not, except

      Executive acknowledges and agrees will continue in full force and effect
      hereafter in accordance with its terms.

    

    (g) Executive
      understands, acknowledges and agrees that in the course of employment with
      the

      doing business (including, without limitation, customer lists), projected and
      historical revenues, sales, marketing, costs, production, growth and
      distribution, and confidential business strategies (“Confidential
      Information”).
      Executive understands, acknowledges and agrees that it would be extremely
      damaging to the Company if such information were disclosed to a competitor
      or
      made available to any other person or entity. Executive understands and agrees
      that such Confidential Information has been disclosed to Executive in
      confidence, that she will keep such information secret and confidential and

      of the nature of Executive’s employment and the Confidential Information and
      trade secrets that Executive has received during the course of her employment,
      and without limiting the generality of any other provision of this Agreement,
      Executive also agrees that the Company would be irreparably harmed by any
      violation or threatened violation of this Agreement and that, therefore, Company
      shall be entitled to an injunction prohibiting the Executive from any violation
      or threatened violation of this Agreement, in addition to any other relief,
      including monetary damages, to which the Company may be entitled. 

    

    (h) The
      Parties agree that Executive’s future employment shall not affect Executive’s
      ability to receive payments under this Agreement.

    

    THIRD: Executive
      represents that she has not filed any complaints, claims, or actions against
      the
      Company, its officers, agents, directors, supervisors, employees, or
      representatives with any state, federal, or local agency or court and that
      she
      will not do so at any time hereafter. PROVIDED, however, that Executive is
      not
      prohibited from challenging the validity of this Agreement with the EEOC, and/or
      cooperating with the EEOC regarding claims of harassment, retaliation or
      discrimination. Nonetheless, Executive is hereby waiving any private cause
      of
      action of claim that might be covered in any right to sue letter issued by
      the
      EEOC.

    (b)
       The
      Parties agree to keep the fact, terms, and amount of this Agreement completely
      confidential and not hereafter disclose any information concerning this
      Agreement to anyone, provided that the Parties may make such disclosures as
      are
      required by law, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, applicable
      securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) and as
      are
      necessary for legitimate law enforcement or compliance purposes. The Parties
      may
      also disclose this Agreement to its attorneys and accountants who have a need
      to
      know the contents of this Agreement.

      hereby irrevocably and unconditionally releases and forever discharges the
      Company and each and all of its officers, agents, directors, supervisors,
      employees, representatives, and their successors and assigns and all persons
      acting by, through, under, or in concert with any of them from any and all
      charges, com-plaints, claims, and liabilities of any kind or nature whatso-ever,
      known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected (hereinafter referred to as “claim”
or “claims”) which Executive at any time heretofore had or claimed to have or
      which Executive may have or claim to have regarding events that have occurred
      as
      of the date of this Agreement, including, without limita-tion, any and all
      claims related or in any manner incidental to Executive’s employment with the
      Company, termination of or resignation from the employment relationship, or
      the
      Stock Option Agreements. It is expressly understood by Executive that among
      the
      various rights and claims being waived in this release are those arising under
      the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. § 621,
et
      seq.).

    

    (b) The
      Parties understand the word “claims” to include all actions, claims, and
      grievances, whether actual or potential, known or unknown, and specifically
      but
      not exclusively all claims arising out of Executive’s employment with the
      Company and the termination or resignation thereof. All such claims (including
      related attorneys' fees and costs) are forever barred by this Agreement, without
      regard to whether those claims are based on any alleged breach of a duty arising
      in a statute, contract, or tort; any alleged unlawful act, including, without
      limitation, the
      Age
      Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967; the Older Workers Benefit Protection
      Act; Title
      VII
      of the Civil Rights Act of 1964; the Family Medical Leave Act; or the Americans
      With Disabilities Act. Executive, with full understanding of the rights afforded
      to Executive under each of these Acts, statutes and claims for relief, hereby
      waives any right to assert a claim for any relief available under these Acts,
      statutes or claims (including but not limited to back pay, severance, attorneys'
      fees, damages, reinstatement and/or other injunctive relief) that Executive
      may
      otherwise recover based upon any alleged violation(s) of these Acts, or any
      other claim or cause of action regardless of the forum in which it might be
      brought. 

     

    (c) Executive
      expressly
      waives all rights under Section 17.245 of the Nevada Revised Statutes
      (hereinafter referred to as “Section 17.245”), understanding and acknowledging
      the significance of such specific waiver of Section 17.245, which reads as
      follows:

     

    When
      a
      release or a covenant not to sue or not to enforce judgment is given in good
      faith to one of two or more persons liable in tort for the same injury (a)
      It
      does not discharge any of the other tortfeasors from liability for the
      injury...unless its terms so provide, but it reduces the claim against the others
      to the extent of any amount stipulated by the release or the covenant, or in
      the
      amount of the consideration paid for it, whichever is the greater . .
      .

    Notwithstanding
      the provisions of Section 17.245, for the purpose of implementing a full and
      complete release and discharge of each and all of the releasees and alleged
      tortfeasors, Executive expressly acknowledges that this Agreement is intended
      to
      include and does include in its effect, without limitation, all claims which
      Executive does not know or suspect to exist in her favor at the time she signs
      this Agreement and that this Agreement expressly contemplates the extinguishment
      of all such known or unknown claims against all known and unknown tortfeasors
      associated with Executive’s employment with and separation from the Company.
      This Paragraph FIFTH (c) applies only to the Company, its officers,
      agents, directors, supervisors, employees, representatives, and their successors

      Deadline”),
      setting forth the amount, nature and basis of the dispute. Within the following
      10 days, the parties shall use their reasonable best efforts to resolve in
      good
      faith such dispute. Upon their failure to do so, Sellers’ Representative and
      Buyer shall within 10 days from the end of such 10 day period jointly engage
      an
      independent accountant (one who has not had any prior relationship with any
      of
      the Parties) (the “Section
      2.4(b) Accountants”).
      The
      Section 2.4(b) Accountants shall be engaged jointly by Buyer and Sellers’
Representative to decide the dispute with respect to the Earn-Out Worksheet
      within 30 days from its appointment; such decision to be communicated to both
      parties in writing. The
      Section
      2.4(b) Accountants 
      shall
      resolve the dispute based solely on presentations by Buyer and Sellers,
and
      not by independent review and
      shall
      render its decision (together with a brief explanation of the basis therefor)
      to
      Buyer and Seller, as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event not later
      than forty-five (45) business days following submission of the dispute to it.
      The fee of the Section
      2.4(b) Accountants
      shall be
      borne fifty percent (50%) by Sellers and fifty percent (50%) by
      Buyer unless
      the Section
      2.4(b) Accountants decides,
      based on its determination with respect to the reasonableness of the respective
      positions of Buyer and Sellers that the fee shall be borne in unequal
      proportions. The Section
      2.4(b) Accountants
      shall
      have exclusive jurisdiction over, and resort to the Section
      2.4(b) Accountants
      as
      provided in this Section 2.4 shall be the sole recourse and remedy of the
      parties against one another or any other Person with respect to, any disputes
      arising out of or relating to the Earnout. The
      decision of the Section 2.4(b) Accountants shall be final and binding upon
      the
      parties and accordingly a declaratory judgment by a court of competent
      jurisdiction may be entered in accordance therewith.

     

    (c) Calculation
      of Earn-Out Payment.
      [Information
      Omitted and Filed Separately with the Commission under Rule
      24B-2]

     

    (d) Payment.
      Subject
      to the provisions of Section 2.4(e),
      Buyer
      shall deliver any Earn-Out Payment to Sellers based on each Seller’s
      Proportionate Interest determined in accordance with Schedule
      A.
      Such
      Payment shall be made within 15 days of the earlier of expiration of the Dispute
      Deadline without the delivery of a Section 2.4(b) Notice or the decision of
      the
      Section 2.4(b) Accountants, as applicable.

     

    Any
      sums
      owing by Buyer to Sellers on account of the payments to be made under this
      Section 2.4 which are not paid when due as provided herein shall bear interest
      at a rate equal to two (2) percentage points over the Wall Street Journal “Prime
      Rate”, as the same may be announced from time to time, until the applicable
      payment has been paid in full. Interest shall be calculated based upon a 360-day
      year and based upon the unpaid balance of the payment, as the same may be from
      time to time.

      (e) Right
        of Set-Off.
        Buyer’s
        obligation to make the Earn-Out Payments is subject to reduction or non-payment
        due to any claim for Damages that a Buyer Indemnified Party may have against
        Sellers in accordance with Article VIII, subject to the provisions of Section
        8.2 hereof . In the event that Buyer determines to exercise its right of
        set-off
        pursuant to this Section 2.4,
        Buyer
        shall comply with the provisions of this Section 2.4
        in
        determining the Earn-Out Payment and shall pay the amount, if any, by which
        the
        Earn-Out Payment exceeds the amount set-off by Buyer. 

    

     

    (f) Earn-Out
      Term.
      Buyer
      acknowledges that the possibility of receiving the Earn-Out Payments comprises
      a
      material inducement for Sellers to enter into this Agreement
      During
      each of the Earn-Out Periods, Buyer shall (i) operate the Company in the
      ordinary course, reasonably consistent with past practices of Sellers, (ii)
      not
      change the operations of the businesses of the Company in any material way
      that
      would have a material adverse effect on either Gross Profit or the ability
      to
      make Earn-Out Payments to Sellers hereunder, provided, that Sellers acknowledge
      that Buyer may combine or convert the Company into divisions of Buyer or an
      Affiliate of Buyer, and (iii) conduct the Business post Closing in such a manner
      as to be able to track Gross Profit on a job by job basis, and all other
      financial matters and related items necessary for calculating the Earn-Out
      Payment due hereunder, and, in connection therewith, shall keep true, complete
      and accurate books of account and records, covering all transactions relating
      to
      the subject matter of this Section 2.4.

     

    2.5 Working
      Capital Adjustment

     

    (a) Preparation
      of Preliminary Statement of Working Capital.
       As
      soon
      as reasonably possible after the Closing Date (but not later than 60 days
      thereafter), Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared by its independent
      accountant, a preliminary statement of working capital (the “Preliminary
      Statement of Working Capital”)
      setting forth (i) the Current Assets and Current Liabilities of the Company
      and
      (ii) the Net Working Capital of the Company, in each case as of the Closing
      Date. For purposes of this Agreement, (A) “Current
      Assets”
shall
      mean all assets of the Company, which in accordance with GAAP shall constitute
      current assets, (B) “Current
      Liabilities”
shall
      mean all liabilities of the Company which in accordance with GAAP shall
      constitute current liabilities; and (C) “Net
      Working Capital”
shall
      mean Current Assets minus
      Current
      Liabilities. The Preliminary Statement of Working Capital shall be prepared
      in
      accordance with GAAP.

     

    (b) Review
      of Preliminary Statement of Working Capital. On
      or
      prior to the date on which the Preliminary Statement of Working Capital is
      due
      (as contemplated by Section 2.5(a)), Buyer shall deliver to Seller
      Representative the Preliminary Statement of Working Capital. The Seller
      Representative and its independent accountant may review the Preliminary
      Statement of Working Capital and may make inquiry of Buyer and its
      representatives, and Buyer and the Company will make available to the Seller
      Representative and his representatives, as reasonably requested, all books
      and
      records relating to the Preliminary Statement of Working Capital within their
      possession. The Preliminary Statement of Working Capital shall be binding and
      conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, the Seller Representative unless the
      Seller Representative shall have notified Buyer in writing of any objections
      thereto consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.5 within thirty (30)
      days after receipt thereof. The written notice delivered by the Seller
      Representative to Buyer under this Section 2.5(b) shall specify in reasonable
      detail each item on the Preliminary Statement of Working Capital that Seller
      disputes, a summary of the reasons for such dispute and the portion of the
      Preliminary Statement of Working Capital, if any, which Seller does not
      dispute.

      Disputes. 

     

    Disputes
      between Buyer and Sellers relating to the Preliminary Statement of Working
      Capital that cannot be resolved by Buyer and Seller within thirty (30) days
      after receipt by Buyer of the notice referred to in Section 2.5(b) shall be

      parties and accordingly a declaratory judgment by a court of competent
      jurisdiction may be entered in accordance therewith.

     

    (d)
      Final
      Statement of Working Capital. 

     

    The
      Preliminary Statement of Working Capital shall become final and binding upon
      the
      parties hereto upon the earlier of (i) the failure by the Seller Representative
      to object thereto within the period permitted under, and otherwise in accordance
      with the requirements of, Section 2.5(b), (ii) the written agreement between
      Buyer and the Seller Representative with respect thereto and (iii) the decision

      Capital at the Closing Date as reflected in the Final Statement of Working
      Capital is (i) greater than $200,000, shall result in an immediate upward
      adjustment of the Purchase Price in such amount as the Net Working Capital
      varies from $200,000, which amount shall be payable by Buyer, in immediately
      available funds, or (ii) less than $200,000, shall result in an immediate
      downward adjustment of the Purchase Price in such amount as the Net Working
      Capital varies from $200,000, which amount shall be payable by Sellers by
      reduction of such amount from Note A. 

     

    i) Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.5, pending resolution
      of
      all disputed items with respect to the Preliminary Statement of Working Capital,

      receipt by the Seller Representative of the Preliminary Statement of Working
      Capital and (B) the date on which the Seller Representative shall have notified

      amount or portions thereof, upon resolution of any dispute with respect to
      such
      amounts or portions.

      in
      each jurisdiction in which such qualification or licensing is necessary because
      of the property and assets owned, leased or operated by it or because of the

      date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this
      Agreement in accordance with its terms, neither the Company nor any Seller
      shall
      intentionally, authorize or permit any of its respective officers, directors,
      members, managers, employees, representatives or agents (collectively, the
      “Company
      Representatives”)
      directly or indirectly to, (i) solicit, facilitate, initiate, encourage or
      take
      any action to solicit, facilitate, initiate or encourage, any inquiries or
      communications or the making of any proposal or offer that constitutes or may
      constitute an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) participate or engage in any
      discussions or negotiations with, or provide any information to or take any
      other action with the intent to facilitate the efforts of, any Person concerning
      any possible Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or communication which might
      reasonably be expected to result in an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of
      this Agreement, the term “Acquisition
      Proposal”
shall
      mean any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Buyer or any
      of
      its Affiliates) relating to any merger, consolidation, recapitalization,
      liquidation or other direct or indirect business combination or reorganization,
      involving the Company or the issuance or acquisition of shares of capital stock
      or other securities of the Company or any tender or exchange offer that if
      consummated would result in any Person, together with all Affiliates thereof,
      beneficially owning shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company,
      or the sale, lease, exchange, license (whether exclusive or not), or other
      disposition of any significant portion of the business or other assets of either
      Company. The Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated and
      shall cause all Company Representatives to immediately terminate and cause
      to be
      terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted
      heretofore with respect to, or that could reasonably be expected to lead to,
      an
      Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly notify the Company
      Representative of its obligations under this Section6.6.
      Without
      limiting the foregoing, it is agreed that any violation of the restrictions
      set
      forth above by any Affiliate of the Company or any Company Representative,
      whether or not such Person is purporting to act on behalf of either Company,
      shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section6.6
      by the
      Company. 

     

    (b) From

      date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this

      or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal other than the sale of the Membership
      Interests to Buyer contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) subject to applicable
      Law, withdraw or modify or propose to withdraw or modify in a manner adverse
      to
      Buyer its approval or recommendation of the sale of the Membership Interests
      to
      Buyer, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) approve,
      enter or permit or cause either Company to enter, into any letter of intent,
      agreement in principle, acquisition agreement or other similar agreement related
      to any Acquisition Proposal or (iv) resolve or announce its intention to do
      any
      of the foregoing.

      Portions
        of this Agreement were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary
        of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
        treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
        1934.

    

     

    (c) In
      addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section
      6.6,
      the Company shall immediately advise Buyer orally and in writing of any
      Acquisition Proposal, any request for information with respect to any
      Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry with respect to or which could result
      in an
      Acquisition Proposal, and the identity of the Person making the same.

     

    6.7 Noncompetition
      and Nonsolicitation. 

     

    (a) Each
      of
      Rudy Kraus, Steve Friedman and Ronald Croce (the “Noncompete
      Parties”)
      acknowledge and agree that Buyer is relying on the covenants and agreements
      in
      this Section 6.7 as a material inducement to consummate the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement and that Buyer would not enter into this
      Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated hereby but for the
      agreements of each of the Noncompete Parties in this Section 6.7.
      Buyer
      acknowledges that the Noncompete Parties are owners of Validus, LLC
      (“Validus”)
      and
      DSAEncore, LLC (“DSAEncore”)
      who
      together with their subsidiaries engage in activities that could be viewed
      as
      competitive with the Company. It is the intention of Section 6.7 to provide
      a
      limited restrictive covenant to prevent the Noncompete Parties from engaging
      in
      one particular aspect of the Company’s business namely providing turn-key
      design, procurement, construction management and installation services for
      mission critical facilities with an initial contract value in excess of $5
      million (the “Business”);
      provided that nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the ability of
      DSAEncore to engage in the Business with the customers set forth on Schedule
      6.7.

     

    (b) Each
      of
      the Noncompete Parties agree that engagement by any of them or their Affiliates
      in the Business would cause irreparable damage to Buyer. For a time period
      of
      two (2) calendar years following the Closing Date (provided,
      that
      the obligations hereunder of the Noncompete Parties shall be extended by adding
      to such term the length of time, if any, during which any of them and/or their
      respective Affiliates shall be or remain in violation of their obligations
      under
      this Section 6.7) (the “Noncompete
      Term”),
      none
      of the Noncompete Parties shall, without the prior written consent of Buyer,
      (i)
      directly or indirectly, alone or as an equity holder (other than as a holder
      of
      less than 5% of the capital stock of any publicly traded corporation), partner,
      officer, director, employee, consultant, independent contractor, agent or
      otherwise engage in the Business (ii) with respect to the Business only, divert,
      or in any way attempt to divert, any customer or prospect of the Buyer or the
      Company from engaging in business with the Company or Buyer , or (iii) solicit
      or encourage any officer, employee or consultant of Buyer or the Company to
      leave their employ for employment by or with any of them or any of their
      respective Affiliates. 

     

    (c) If
      at any
      time the provisions of this Section 6.7 shall be determined to be invalid or
      unenforceable, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area, duration
      or
      scope of activity, then this Section 6.7 shall be considered divisible and
      shall
      become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and scope of
      activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court
      or
      other body having jurisdiction over the matter; and all of the parties hereto
      agree that this Section 6.7 as so amended shall be valid and binding as though
      any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included
      herein.

          of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
          treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934.
 

      

    

    6.8
       Litigation
      Support.
      In the
      event and for so long as any Party actively is contesting or defending against
      any action,
      suit, proceeding, hearing, investigation, charge, complaint, claim or demand
      in
      connection with (a) any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or (b)
      any
      fact, situation, circumstance, status, condition, activity, practice, plan,
      occurrence, event, incident, action, failure to act or transaction on or prior
      to the Closing Date involving any Seller, each of the other Parties shall
      cooperate with him or it and his or its counsel in the contest or defense and
      provide such testimony and access to its books and records as shall be necessary
      in connection with the contest or defense, provided that any reasonable actual,
      out-of-pocket costs incurred as a result of such cooperation shall be reimbursed
      to the cooperating party.

     

    6.9 Cooperation
      as to Taxes.
      After
      the Closing, upon reasonable written notice, Buyer and Sellers shall furnish
      or
      cause to be furnished to each other, as promptly as practicable, such
      information and assistance (to the extent within the control of such party)
      relating to the Company (including access to books and records) as is reasonably
      necessary for the filing of all Tax returns, and the making of any election
      related to Taxes, the preparation for any audit by any Governmental Authority,
      and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding related to
      any
      Tax return. Sellers and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with each other in
      the
      conduct of any audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes involving the
      Company. Buyer agrees that for a period of four (4) years after the Closing
      Date, it will maintain and preserve the books, records and files relating to
      the
      Company prior to Closing, and Seller and its Affiliates (at their own expense)
      shall have the right after the Closing to reasonably inspect and to make copies
      of the same upon reasonable prior notice at a mutually agreed time during normal
      business hours for any purposes of this Section.

      VIII

    INDEMNIFICATION
      OBLIGATIONS

     

    8.1 Survival.
      Each of
      the representations and warranties of the Company and the Sellers contained
      in
      Articles III and IV of this Agreement shall survive the Closing and not
      terminate until one year from the Closing Date, except that the representations
      and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.5,
      3.16,
      3.17,
4.1,
      and
4.2
      shall
      not terminate and shall survive indefinitely subject to the applicable statute
      of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation or warranty
      in
      respect of which indemnity may be sought under Article VIII of this Agreement
      shall survive the time at which it would otherwise terminate pursuant to this
      Section 8.1
      if
      written notice of a good faith claim for indemnification in respect of such
      representation or warranty shall have been duly given prior to such time, in
      which event such representation or warranty shall survive solely with respect
      to
      such claim until the final resolution thereof.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, if Buyer has actual knowledge at or before the Closing of any
      breach or non-fulfillment of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
      herein by Seller and Buyer nevertheless proceeds to consummate the transaction
      contemplated hereby, then without further act on the part of any party hereto,
      Buyer shall be deemed to have waived its rights with respect to such breach
      or
      non-fulfillment (but not without respect to any other breach or
      non-fulfillment).

     

    8.2 Sellers’
      Indemnification Obligations.
      From
      and after the Closing, the Sellers, severally, and not jointly (proportionately,
      in accordance with their respective Seller’s Proportionate Interest), agree to
      indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates, including the Company, and their
      respective officers, directors and shareholders, but only in their capacities
      as
      such, (the “Buyer
      Indemnified Parties”)
      harmless and shall reimburse Buyer Indemnified Parties first pursuant to the
      Escrow Agreement, second by means of set-off against Note A and the Earn-Out
      Payments and then personally for any Damages incurred or suffered by Buyer
      Indemnified Parties arising out of any misrepresentation or breach of
      representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be performed by
      any
      Seller (or the Company) under this Agreement. 

     

    Notwithstanding
      anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Sellers shall have
      no
      liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to claims under this
      Section 8.2 until the total of all Damages with respect to such matters exceeds
      Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the “Basket”)
      and
      then for the amount of all Damages, including the Basket, and (ii) the aggregate
      liability of Sellers under this Article VIII shall in no event exceed the sum
      of
      Four Million ($4,000,000) Dollars (the “Cap”);
      provided, however, that neither the Basket nor the Cap shall be taken into
      account if the Damages relate to any breach of a representation or warranty
      set
      forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2. 3.5, 3.16, 3.17, 4.1 or 4.2 or for any shortfall
      of
      the working capital as set forth in the certificate delivered to Buyer at
      Closing.

     

    For
      purposes of this Article VIII, all “Damages” shall be computed net of any
      insurance coverage with respect thereto that reduces the Damages that would
      otherwise be sustained; provided, however, that in all cases, the timing of
      the
      receipt or realization of insurance proceeds shall be taken into account in
      determining the amount of reduction of Damages.

      of Claim.
      If a
      claim is asserted against a Buyer Indemnified Party by a third party (a
“Third
      Party Claim”)
      that
      could reasonably be expected to give such Buyer Indemnified Party the right
      to
      be indemnified under this Article VIII, or if a Buyer Indemnified Party believes
      that it is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII on the basis
      of a
      direct claim against such Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement (a
“Direct
      Claim”),
      then
      the Buyer Indemnified Party seeking indemnification hereunder shall give written
      notice thereof (a “Notice
      of Claim”)
      to the
      applicable Sellers (collectively the “Indemnifying
      Party”)
      as
      promptly as is practicable from the date on which the Buyer Indemnified Party
      obtains knowledge of such claim (but in no event later than the applicable
      survival period set forth in Section 8.1 above), provided that a delay in
      notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of
      its
      obligations under this Agreement except to the extent that (and only to the
      extent that) the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay.
      The
      Notice of Claims shall specify whether the claim is a Third Party Claim or
      a
      Direct Claim, and shall set forth in reasonable detail the grounds and the
      amount or estimated amount of the claim. 

     

    8.4 Direct
      Claims.
      The
      Indemnifying Party shall have 20 Business Days from receipt of the Notice of
      Claim with respect to any Direct Claim to deliver to the Buyer Indemnified
      Party
      a written notice objecting to any item or amount set forth in the Notice of
      Claim (a “Direct
      Claim Counter Notice”).
      If no
      such objection if given in a timely manner, the Indemnifying Party shall be
      deemed to have consented and agreed to such item or amount. Should the Parties,
      within such 20 Business Days period (subject to any possible extensions agreed
      between them), agree, in whole or in part, upon the Indemnifying Party’s
      liability for Damages, the Indemnified Party shall, pursuant to the terms of
      this Agreement, pay the Buyer Indemnified Party for the entire agreed upon
      amount of Damages.

     

    8.5 Third
      Party Claims.
      Upon
      receipt by the Indemnifying Party of a Notice of Claim with respect to a Third
      Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense
      of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer
      Indemnified Party and the Buyer Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent
      reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense or prosecution
      thereof, provided that the Buyer Indemnified Party is reimbursed by the
      Indemnifying Party for its actual out-of-pocket costs in connection therewith.
      If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of such claim, the Buyer
      Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its own counsel in any such
      case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of
      the
      Buyer Indemnified Party, unless there is, under applicable standards of conduct,
      a conflict on any significant issue between Indemnifying Party and the Buyer
      Indemnified Party, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of one such
      counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Unless and until
      the
      Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, but in no event
      prior to 20 Business Days from receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Notice
      of Claim with respect to any Third Party Claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party
      may
      defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem
      appropriate, the reasonable costs and expenses of which shall be borne by the
      Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of any
      claim against the Buyer Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall not
      settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Buyer Indemnified
      Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
      If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of a Third Party Claim,
      but does not dispute the Buyer Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification by
      delivering to the Buyer Indemnified Party a written notice objecting to any
      item
      or amount set forth in the Notice of Claim (a “Third
      Party Claim Counter Notice”
and
      collectively with the Direct Claim Counter Notice, a “Counter
      Notice”),
      the
      Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such
      claim through counsel of its choice, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, and
      the Buyer Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim without the prior
      written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be
      unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

      Portions
        of this Agreement were omitted and have been filed separately with the Secretary
        of the Commission pursuant to the Company’s application requesting confidential
        treatment under Rule 24b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of
        1934.

    

     

    8.6 Disputes.
      In the
      event that Sellers or Buyer shall dispute any claim for indemnification made
      hereunder, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative will attempt to resolve such
      dispute through good faith negotiation. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative
      are unable to resolve such dispute through good faith negotiation within 30
      days
      after the Sellers deliver the Counter Notice, the dispute will be settled by
      binding arbitration conducted before a single arbitrator. Either Buyer or the
      Sellers’ Representative may submit the dispute to arbitration. The arbitration
      will be conducted in accordance with the then applicable Commercial Arbitration
      Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”)
      and
      will be held in the State of Maryland. The arbitrator shall be mutually agreed
      upon by Buyer and the Sellers, but if they are unable to agree on an arbitrator,
      the arbitrator shall be appointed by AAA. All arbitration proceedings shall
      be
      closed to the public and confidential. All records relating thereto shall be
      permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the
      arbitrator’s decision. The arbitrator will be bound by the terms and conditions
      of this Agreement and shall have no power, in rendering his or her award, to
      alter or depart from any express provision of these agreements, and his or
      her
      failure to observe this limitation shall constitute grounds for vacating the
      award. The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties,
      and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
      thereof. 

     

    8.7 Buyer’s
      Indemnification Obligations.
      From
      and after the Closing, Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Sellers and their
      heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns, (the “Seller
      Indemnified Parties”)
      harmless and shall reimburse Seller Indemnified Parties for any Damages incurred
      or suffered by Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of any misrepresentation
      or breach of representation or warranty, covenant or agreement made or to be
      performed by Buyer under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer
      shall have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to
      claims under this Section 8.7 until the total of all Damages with respect to
      such matters exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and then for the amount
      of
      all Damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Seller has actual knowledge
      at
      or before the Closing of any breach or non-fulfillment of a representation,
      warranty, covenant or agreement herein by Buyer and Sellers nevertheless proceed
      to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby, then without further act
      on
      the part of any party hereto, each Seller shall be deemed to have waived its
      rights with respect to such breach or non-fulfillment (but not without respect
      to any other breach or non-fulfillment).

     

    8.8 Exclusive
      Remedy.
      Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the
      Parties acknowledge and agree that the indemnities set forth in this Article
      VIII will be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties for any breach,
      default, inaccuracy or failure of any of the warranties, representations,
      conditions, covenants or agreements by the other contained in this Agreement,
      whether for Damages or other legal or equitable relief and whether based upon
      contract, tort or upon any other theory of law
      and,
      with respect to indemnification, where applicable, be subject to the limitations
      and procedures contained in this Article VIII.

    TERMINATION,
      AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

     

    9.1 Termination.
      This
      Agreement may be terminated:

     

    (a) at
      any
      time prior to the Closing Date by mutual written agreement of Buyer and the
      Company;

     

    (b) by
      Sellers, acting unanimously, by written notice to Buyer if any event or
      circumstance occurs that makes it impossible to satisfy any condition precedent
      under Section7.1(m)
      (unless
      the failure results primarily from any action or inaction of the Company or
      any
      Seller in violation of the terms of this Agreement); 

     

    (c) by
      Sellers, acting unanimously, by written notice to Buyer if any of Buyer’s
      representations and warranties made in Article V were materially inaccurate
      when
      made or if Buyer is unable to pay the consideration for the Membership Interests
      at the time that the Closing is otherwise required to occur;

     

    (d) by
      Buyer
      by written notice to each of the Sellers if any event or circumstance occurs
      that makes it impossible to satisfy any condition precedent under
      Section7.1
      (unless
      the failure results primarily from any action or inaction of Buyer in violation
      of the terms of this Agreement); or 

     

    (e) by
      Buyer
      if any of the representations and warranties made in Article III or Article
      IV
      were materially inaccurate when made or if Buyer will not be able to obtain
      good
      title, free of all Encumbrances, to all of the Membership Interests at the
      Closing.

     

    9.2 Effect
      of Termination.
      If this
      Agreement is terminated as permitted by Section 9.1,
      such
      termination shall be without liability of any Party to the other Parties. This
      Section 9.2
      and the
      provisions of Article X shall survive any termination hereof pursuant to Section
      9.1.
      The
      termination of this Agreement shall not affect or in any way diminish the
      obligations of Buyer under that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated
      __________, 2007, which obligations shall survive any such
      termination.

    MISCELLANEOUS

     

    10.1 Expenses;
      Transfer Taxes.
      Except
      as otherwise provided in this Agreement, whether or not the Closing takes place,
      all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
      transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such
      costs
      and expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers, and not the Company
      nor
      Buyer, shall be responsible for any and all fees or other costs to any third
      party advisors to the Company or the Sellers incurred prior to the Closing.
      Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any transfer,
      documentary, sales, use, registration and other such Taxes incurred in
      connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement shall be borne equally by the Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer,
      on
      the other hand.

      prepaid, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested), (ii) by hand
      delivery, (iii) by nationally recognized courier service or (iv) by telecopier,
      receipt confirmed (with a confirmation copy to be sent by first class mail;

      such
      telecopier notice from being effective). Each such notice, request or
      communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, three calendar days after
      mailing at the address specified in this Section 10.2

    10.3 Severability.
      The

      unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or
      enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision of this
      Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstance, is
      found to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, (i) a suitable and

      far
      as may be valid or enforceable, such provision and (ii) the remainder of this
      Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or
      circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability,

      shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability
      of such provision, or the application thereof, in any other
      jurisdiction.

     

    10.4 Amendments
      and Waivers.
      This
      Agreement may not be amended, supplemented, modified or terminated except by
      an
      instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer, the Company and all of the
      Sellers . The Parties hereto may, by an instrument in writing signed on behalf
      of such Party, waive compliance by any other Party with any term or provision
      of
      this Agreement that such other Party was or is obligated to comply with or
      perform. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right, power or
      privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single
      or
      partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or
      the
      exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No waiver of any of the
      provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed, or shall constitute, a waiver
      of
      any other provision of this Agreement, whether or not similar, nor shall such
      waiver constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly
      provided.

     

    10.5 Counterparts.
      This
      Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
      be
      deemed an original and all of which shall, taken together, be considered one
      and
      the same agreement. The execution of this Agreement by any of the Parties may
      be
      evidenced by way of a facsimile transmission of such Party’s signature, or a
      photocopy of such facsimile transmission, and such facsimile signature shall
      be
      deemed to constitute the original signature of such Party thereto.
