      Agreement to be entered into by and between Purchaser, Seller and Escrow Agent

      Fund”)
      which
      shall be held therein until released from escrow pursuant to the terms of the
      Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow
      Period”).

      delivering to the Escrow Agent: (i) stock certificates representing an aggregate
      amount of shares of Telkonet Common Stock equal to the Stock Consideration

      if

      below), delivered to Purchaser at Closing is less than 1841 (which is
      acknowledged to be 95% of the 1938 Subscribers that Seller believes to be in
      Good Standing). In the event that a credit shall be issued to Purchaser in
      accordance with this Section 2(b), the credit to Purchaser shall be an amount
      equal to the product of: (i) the difference between: (A) 1841; less (B) the

      thereon to the Seller. At the end of the Escrow Period if the number of
      Subscribers in Good Standing delivered to Purchaser at Closing exceeds 2035

      between: (A) the actual number of Subscribers in Good Standing; less (B) 2035;
      multiplied by (ii) the Credit Per Subscriber. The amount of any credit to be
      provided to Purchaser or additional consideration to be paid to Seller pursuant

      does
      not exceed $100,000.00; or (ii) 40% in cash and 60% in Telkonet Common Stock
      (based on the average of the closing price for one share of Telkonet Common
      Stock for the ten (10) trading days occurring immediately prior to the Closing
      Date), if such amount exceeds $100,000.00. For purposes of this Agreement the
      term “Subscriber”

      program or campaign conducted by or on behalf of Seller described in Schedule
      4(l) hereof; and (ii) a customer shall count as one Subscriber of Seller
      regardless of whether such customer subscribes to one or a combination of the
      internet or telephone services provided by Seller. A Subscriber shall be in
      “Good Standing” if his or her account is no more than sixty (60) days’ in
      arrears on the date of Closing, measured from the date that payment is due
      for
      the first unpaid month’s services. The procedure for finalizing the number of
      Subscribers in Good Standing, additional consideration to be paid to Seller,

      additional consideration to be paid to Seller, if any, shall be paid pursuant

      Schedule
      4(e)
      sets
      forth a true and complete list of all contracts, franchises, leases (for real
      and personal property), licenses, pole attachment and other utility agreements,
      retransmission consent agreements, service and access agreements and all other
      agreements and instruments (other than Licenses) relating to the Broadband
      Business which are not Excluded Assets (the “Business
      Instruments”),
      including the parties thereto and the subject matter and expiration dates
      thereof. Seller has delivered to Purchaser true and complete copies of all
      Business Instruments, including all amendments, modifications and supplements
      thereto. Each Business Instrument is in full force and effect and constitutes
      the legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller
      and, to
      Seller’s Knowledge any other party(ies) thereto and is enforceable in accordance
      with its respective terms, except insofar as enforceability may be limited
      by
      applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws
      now or hereafter in effect affecting creditors’ rights generally, or by
      principles governing the availability of equitable remedies. There are no
      defaults which have occurred and are continuing beyond any applicable notice
      and
      cure periods under any of the Business Instruments by Seller or, to Seller’s
      Knowledge, the other party(ies) thereto; nor has any event occurred that, with
      the giving notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute a default
      or
      event of default thereunder. The Business Instruments delivered to Purchaser
      contain all obligations and liabilities of Seller with respect to such
      instruments or the rights granted thereunder. Seller is not a party to, and
      neither Seller, the Sale Assets nor the Broadband Business is subject to or
      bound by, any agreement limiting Seller’s ability to compete in any services
      provided in connection with the Broadband Business in the United States. As
      used

      of Seller”
or

shall
      mean the actual knowledge of Rick Garrigan, Seller’s, General Manager and all
      direct reports to him and/or such knowledge that such individuals could be

      notified that it is subject to any fines or penalties in connection
      therewith.

      Purchaser.
      Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller and its affiliates (including said

      any liability or obligation relating to the period prior to the Closing Date
      and
      which has been specifically assumed by Purchaser in accordance with the

      (any
      such
      claim, a “Seller
      Indemnification Claim”).

     

    (f)    Indemnification
      Procedures.
      Purchaser
      shall promptly notify Seller of any
      Purchaser Indemnification Claim and Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser
      of
      any Seller Indemnification Claim, provided,
      that the failure to give such notice shall not affect any of Purchaser’s or
      Seller’s right to indemnification unless the
      party
      from which indemnification is sought
      shall
      have been materially prejudiced thereby.
      If the
      claim is as a result of a third party matter, the
      indemnifying party
      shall be
      entitled to participate in the defense thereof, and, if it so chooses, to assume
      the defense thereof with counsel that it selects, and subject to the
      other
      party’s
      right

      Seller
      nor
      Purchaser shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any
      settlement with respect to the
      other
      party without
      the prior written consent of such other party,
      which
      consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
      provided
      that Seller or Purchaser, shall have assumed the defense of a Purchaser
      Indemnification Claim
      or
      Seller Indemnification Claim, as applicable, and such party shall
      have
      acknowledged in writing its obligation
      to
provide
      indemnification in connection
      with
such
      claim.

      agreements among the parties relating to DirecTV programming services at certain
      Newport Properties (the “DirecTV Agreement”)) arising from or related to the
“Newport Entities Obligations” (as defined in the DirecTV Agreement) exceed One
      Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00).

    (g)    Insurance
      Proceeds.
      The
      amount of any Damages for indemnification to be provided under this Section

      Seller Indemnitees, as applicable, under any applicable insurance policies
      with
      respect to such Damages.

    (i)    
Non-competition.
      In
      consideration of the payment of the Purchase Price and the other provisions
      of
      this Agreement, Seller shall not, for a period of three (3) years from the
      date

      a
      resale basis or otherwise (b) market or assist in the marketing at the Newport

      by
      Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood and agreed
      to
      by Purchaser that Seller, its affiliates and/or any Owner (as defined in that
      certain Master Communications Access and Service Agreement dated as of the

      Access Agreement) other providers or resellers of telephone, video or internet
      services in providing telephone, video or internet services at the Newport

      which assistance shall include, but not be limited to, providing such providers
      or resellers access to the Newport Properties to install or maintain facilities
      or equipment at the Newport Properties; provided, however, that, except for

      Conduit, for which Seller, its affiliates or Owners, whether or not an affiliate
      of Seller, may receive compensation and any charges which Realty Information
      Systems Co.  may
      impose for permitted uses of certain fiber as provided for in that certain
      License Agreement by and between Purchaser and Realty Information Systems Co.,
      dated as of the date hereof, Seller shall not be permitted to receive
      compensation in exchange for assisting such entities. Provided, further, that
      nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or impair Seller or its
      affiliates or Owners from: (i) transacting business with or providing services
      on behalf of Purchaser; or (ii) from satisfying any obligations or
      responsibilities under any applicable federal, state or local law, rule,
      regulation or ordinance or under that certain MDU System Operator Agreement
      dated as of June 14, 2003 by and between Seller and Minnesota Digital Universe.
      Provided, further that, subject to the forty (40) month and five percent (5%)
      limitation on the new installation of wiring within certain buildings located
      at
      the Newport Properties as provided for in Section 1.01 of the Master
      communications and Access Agreement, nothing contained herein shall prohibit
      or
      restrict Seller or its affiliates or Owners from assisting any tenant or
      resident of the Newport Property in installing or maintaining any equipment
      for
      any video, internet or telephone services (even if such services are competitive
      with the Broadband Business), including, without limitation, by providing or
      facilitating such tenants or residents with access to certain areas located
      at
      the Newport Properties. Provided, further that nothing contained within this
      Agreement shall prohibit Seller or its affiliates or owners from purchasing
      or
otherwise
      acquiring up to (but not more than) twenty-five percent (25%) of any class
      of
      the securities of any third party (but may not otherwise participate in the
      activities of such third party) if such securities are listed on any national
      or
      regional securities exchange or have been registered under Section 12(g) of
      the
      Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge and agree
      that
      providing tenants or residents of the Newport Properties with the phone numbers
      and other contact information of any provider or reseller of telephone, video
      or
      internet services which is providing or re-selling such services at the Newport
