WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, the Stockholder owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company as set forth in Schedule 1.1 hereto (the “Stock”) and, as such, the Stockholder desires to sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Purchaser all of the Stockholder's right, title and interest in and to the Stock pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Purchaser to purchase, obtain and acquire from the Stockholder all of the Stockholder's right, title and interest in and to the Stock pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the boards of directors of the Purchaser and the Company have each approved and declared it to be advisable and in the best interests of their respective shareholders for the Purchaser to acquire the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein and for such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, each intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows:

1.3           Purchase Price for Shares of Company’s Stock.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at Closing (as defined in Section 2.1, below), in consideration of and in exchange for the Stockholder’s sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance and delivery of the Stock to the Purchaser, the Purchaser hereby agrees to issue and deliver to the Stockholder the following consideration:

(c)           a common stock purchase warrant to purchase an aggregate of 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Purchaser substantially in the form of the common stock purchase warrant attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2 (the “Warrant Consideration”).

(The Acquisition Note Consideration, the Five Year Note Consideration and the Warrant Consideration shall hereinafter collectively be referred to as the “Purchase Price.”)  The Five Year Note Consideration shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the terms of Section 4.7, below.

1.4           Effect of Purchaser's Acquisition of the Company’s Stock; Operation of Company as Subsidiary.  Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the Company shall become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser.  The Company may hereinafter be referred to as the "Subsidiary" as the context may require including but not limited to Section 4.1(j).

A closing with regard to the Stockholder’s exercise of the Repurchase Option shall occur no later than five business days following the Purchaser’s receipt of the Repurchase Option Notice and Repurchase Consideration from the Stockholder (the “Repurchase Option Closing”).

(b)           In the event the Stockholder exercises the Repurchase Option in accordance with Section 1.6(a):

(ii)           the Purchaser’s obligations to pay the principal amount and interest due under the Acquisition Note and Five Year Note shall terminate and such promissory notes shall be delivered to the Purchaser at the Repurchase Option Closing for cancellation and the Stockholder shall, on the Repurchase Option Closing Date, repay the full amount of the principal amount paid by the Purchaser to the Stockholder under the Acquisition Note and Five Year Note; and

(iii)          the Purchaser shall have no further liability or obligation to the Stockholder or the Company under this Agreement, the Acquisition Note or Five Year Note or otherwise.

(j)            Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality.

(A)           Agreement Not to Compete. For a period of one (1) year after the termination or expiration of the Employment Agreement, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, engage or be interested in any business which competes directly with the United States government contracting business of the Company as it is currently conducted, or in those states in which the Company or its affiliates haves specific plans to conduct business and the Stockholder has knowledge of such plans at, or prior to the Closing Date. The Stockholder shall be deemed to be interested in a United States government contracting business if he is engaged or interested in that business as a stockholder, director, officer, employee, salesman, sales representative, agent, partner, individual proprietor, consultant or otherwise, but not if such interest is limited solely to ownership of 2% or less of the equity or debt securities of any class of a corporation whose shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange or traded in the over the counter market.
 
(B)           Non-solicitation. For a period of three (3) years after the expiration or termination of the Employment Agreement, the Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) cause or attempt to cause any customer, client, account or vendor, or prospective customer, client, account or vendor to divert, terminate, limit or in any manner modify or fail to enter into any actual or potential business relationship with the Purchaser or any Subsidiary of the Company, or (b) divert, solicit or employ, or attempt to divert, solicit or employ, any employee of the Purchaser or any subsidiary of the Purchaser.

(C)           Confidential Information. The parties hereto recognize that a major need of the Purchaser is to preserve its specialized knowledge, trade secrets, customer lists and confidential information concerning the industry in which the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries are engaged.  The strength and goodwill of the Purchaser is derived from the specialized knowledge, trade secrets, and confidential information generated from experience with the activities undertaken by the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries.  The disclosure of this information and knowledge to competitors would be beneficial to them and detrimental to the Purchaser, as would the disclosure of information about the products, methods, marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information, client contracts, inventory sources, customer information, employee information, and other similar items of the Purchaser and its Subsidiaries.  The Company and the Stockholder have or will have access to, and have obtained or will obtain, specialized knowledge, trade secrets and confidential information about the Purchaser’s business and the Purchaser’s operations and the operations of its Subsidiaries, affiliates, and/or divisions.  The term "confidential" or "proprietary information" shall not include information which is (i) already known from sources not subject to any confidential obligations; (ii) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Purchaser; or (iii) required to be disclosed by law, regulatory or judicial process.  Therefore, the Company and the Stockholder hereby agree, recognizing that the Purchaser is relying on these agreements in entering into this Agreement, that commencing on the date hereof and for two (2) years following the termination or expiration of the Employment Agreement (and except, on the part of the Stockholder, to the extent required by the Stockholder to provide services under the Employment Agreement), the Company and the Stockholder will keep secret and retain in strict confidence, and will not use, disclose to others, or publish any inventions or any confidential business information about the affairs of the Purchaser or its Subsidiaries’ businesses, including but not limited to confidential information concerning the Purchaser’s and its Subsidiaries’ products, methods, marketing practices, pricing practices, costs, profit margins, design specifications, analytical techniques, technical information, client contracts, inventory sources, customer information, employee information, and other similar items of confidential information.

4.2          Covenants of Purchaser

(a)           Notice of Defaults.  The Purchaser shall give prompt notice to the Company and the Stockholder of:  (i) any notice or other communication relating to a default hereunder or event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default hereunder, received by the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date, or under any material contract, agreement or instrument to which the Purchaser is a party, by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound or to which it or any of its properties or assets are subject which would prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) any event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would cause any representation or warranty of the Purchaser under this Agreement to be inaccurate or misleading in any respect; (iii) any notice or other communication by any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (iv) any adverse change in the business, assets, operations, earnings, prospects or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the Purchaser.
 
(b)           Third Party Consents.  The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to obtain any consent, authorization or approval of, or exemption by, any governmental authority or agency or other third party required to be obtained or made by it in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)           Best Efforts and Cooperation; Further Assurances.  Prior to the Closing Date, with the cooperation of the Company and the Stockholder where appropriate, the Purchaser shall:

(i)            promptly comply with all filing requirements which federal, state or local law may impose on the Purchaser with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and

(ii)           use its diligent efforts to take all actions necessary to be taken, make any filing and obtain any consent, authorization or approval of or exemption by any governmental authority, regulatory agency or any other third party which is required to be filed or obtained by the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

4.3          Governmental Filings and Consents.  The Company, the Stockholder and the Purchaser shall cooperate with one another in filing any necessary applications, reports or other documents with any federal or state agencies, authorities or bodies having jurisdiction with respect to the business of the Company or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and in seeking any necessary approval, consultation or prompt favorable action of, with or by any of such agencies, authorities or bodies.

4.4          Publicity.  The Company, the Stockholder and the Purchaser will consult with each other party hereto prior to making, releasing or otherwise disseminating any public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  Any public announcements permitted hereunder shall be made only at such time and in such manner as the Company and the Stockholder (collectively acting as one), and the Purchaser shall mutually agree, except that any party hereto shall be free to make such public announcements as it shall reasonably deem necessary to comply with federal or state laws, provided that such announcement is simultaneously delivered to the other parties hereto.
 
 
26

 
 
4.5          Purchaser's Right to Investigate.

(a)           Obligation of the Company and the Stockholder.  The Company shall afford to the officers and authorized representatives and agents of the Purchaser, during regular business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, free and full access to any office, warehouse, plant, property, inventory, accounts, books and records of the Company such as to afford the Purchaser the full opportunity to make such investigations as it shall desire or deem appropriate with respect to the affairs of the Company.  The officers of the Company shall furnish the Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information relating to the assets, property, businesses and operations of the Company as the Purchaser shall from time to time request.  Prior to the Closing Date, or at all times hereafter in the event that the transactions contemplated hereby are not consummated or this Agreement is otherwise terminated, the Purchaser shall, except as may be otherwise required by applicable law, hold confidential all information obtained pursuant to this subsection or otherwise in connection with consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to the Company.  In the event that this Agreement is terminated, the Purchaser shall return to the Company all of such information as shall be in documentary form.
 
(b)           Effectiveness of Representations Notwithstanding Investigation.  Notwithstanding any party's undertaking or conduct of any investigation pursuant hereto, or any party's failure to so investigate, the representations, warranties and agreements of each of the parties hereto shall be operative and effective and shall survive the Closing Date to the extent previously set forth in Section 3.3.  In the event that a party hereto becomes aware or knows prior to the Closing that a representation or warranty made herein by another party hereto is untrue, such party shall express such knowledge by written notice thereof to the party rendering such representation or warranty on or prior to the Closing Date.

 
4.6
Audited Financial Statements.

At the sole cost and expense of the Company, promptly after the Closing Date, the Purchaser’s registered independent accountants shall be provided with access to the books and records and financial information of the Company and shall use its best efforts to prepare within sixty (60) days of the Closing Date an audited balance sheet dated as of the Closing Date ("Audited Balance Sheet") and balance sheet, income statement and statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010 (the "Audited Financial Statements") and such interim and pro forma financial statements as may be required to be filed by Purchaser pursuant to Regulation S-X and applicable federal securities laws applicable to it. The Audited Financial Statements and any interim and pro forma financial statements shall (a) be prepared in accordance with the books and records of the Company, (b) fairly present the financial condition of the Company at the date therein indicated and the results of operation for the period therein specified and (c) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.

4.7          Adjustments to Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price due and payable or issuable to the Stockholder in accordance with Section 1.3 will be adjusted in accordance with the following:

(a)           Reduction in Purchase Price at Closing. If the Closing Balance Sheet reveals that the negative Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date exceeds $250,000 (i.e., that the Company’s current liabilities exceed its current assets by more than $250,000), the Five Year Note Consideration shall be reduced by $1 for each $1 that the Company’s negative Net Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet exceeds $250,000.  The foregoing adjustment to the Five Year Note Consideration shall be effected by an appropriate adjustment to the principal amount of the Five Year Note to be delivered by the Purchaser to the Stockholder at Closing.  For purposes hereof, the term “Net Working Capital” shall mean the sum of the Company’s cash balances, trade accounts receivable that are collectable (less a reserve for doubtful accounts), prepaid expenses and other current assets; less the sum of its current liabilities (including all non-recurring deferred revenue), debt balances, and other liabilities.
 
 
27

 
 
(b)           Reduction in Purchase Price After Closing. If the Audited Balance Sheet reveals that the liabilities of the Company (including deferred revenue) exceed the liabilities set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet, the Five Year Note Consideration shall be reduced by $1.00 for each $1.00 that the Company’s liabilities (including deferred revenue) set forth on the Audited Balance Sheet exceed the liabilities set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet.  The foregoing adjustment to the Five Year Note Consideration shall be effected by an appropriate adjustment to the principal amount of the Five Year Note.  The Net Working Capital as set forth in the Audited Balance Sheet shall be conclusive and final evidence of the amount of the Company’s Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date.
 
4.8          Tax Matters.   The following provisions shall govern the allocation of responsibility as between the Purchaser and Stockholder for certain Tax matters following the Closing Date:
 
(a)           Tax Indemnification. The Stockholder shall indemnify the Company, its Subsidiaries, the Purchaser and each affiliate of the Purchaser and hold them harmless from and against without duplication, any loss, claim, liability, expense, or other damage attributable to (i) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date ("Pre-Closing Tax Period"), (ii) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign law or regulation, and (iii) any and all Taxes of any person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) above, the Stockholder shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes (excluding any reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) on the face of the Closing Balance Sheet (rather than in any notes thereto) and taken into account in determining the adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Section 4.7. The Stockholder shall reimburse the Purchaser for any Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries that are the responsibility of the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 4.8 within fifteen (15) business days after payment of such Taxes by the Purchaser, the Company, or its Subsidiaries.
 
(b)           Straddle Period. In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a "Straddle Period"), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.
 
(c)           S Corporation Status.  The Company and the Stockholder shall not revoke the Company's or any Subsidiary’s election to be taxed as an S corporation within the meaning of Code Section 1361 and Section 1362. Except as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company and the Stockholder shall not take or allow any action other than the sale of the Company's Stock pursuant to this Agreement that would result in the termination of the Company's or any Subsidiary’s status as a validly electing S corporation within the meaning of Code Section 1361 and Section 1362.  On the date that is the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (the “Contribution Date”), the Stockholder shall contribute all of the capital stock of G4 Government Solutions, Inc. (“G4”), a Maryland corporation, to the Company so that, on the Closing Date, G4 is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  Moreover, within two months and 15 days of the Contribution Date, pursuant to Code Section 1361(b)(3), the Company, G4 and the Stockholder shall file with the Internal Revenue Service a Qualified Subchapter S Subsidiary election on Form 8869 with regard to G4 to be effective as of the Contribution Date.

The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for the Company and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date that are filed after the Closing Date. The Purchaser shall permit the Stockholder to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence prior to filing.

The Company and its Subsidiaries, the Stockholder, and the Purchaser agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the Purchaser or the Stockholder, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other party so requests, the Company and its Subsidiaries or the Stockholder, as the case may be, shall allow the other party to take possession of such books and records.

(ii)           The Purchaser and the Stockholder further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any governmental authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby).

(f)           Tax-Sharing Agreements.  All tax-sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, after the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(g)           Certain Taxes.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the Stockholder when due, and the Stockholder shall, at his own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.

(h)           Section 338(h)(10) Election. At the Purchaser’s option, the Company and the Stockholder shall join with the Purchaser in making an election under Code Section 338(h)(10) (and any corresponding election under state, local, and foreign tax law) with respect to the purchase and sale of the Company stock hereunder (collectively, a "Section 338(h)(10) Election"). The Stockholder shall include any income, gain, loss, deduction, or other tax item resulting from the §338(h)(10) Election on his Tax Returns to the extent required by applicable law. The Stockholder shall also pay any Tax imposed on the Company or its Subsidiaries attributable to the making of the §338(h)(10) Election, including (i) any Tax imposed under Code Section 1374, (ii) any tax imposed under Code Reg. §1.338(h)(10)-1(e)(5), or (iii) any state, local or foreign Tax imposed on the Company's or its Subsidiaries' gain, and the Stockholder shall indemnify the Purchaser, the Company, and its Subsidiaries against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes.

(c)           Notwithstanding the indemnification provided pursuant to Subsection 6.1(a) above, no amount shall be payable in indemnification hereunder or under any other provision of this Agreement unless the aggregate amount of such Damages in respect of which the Company or the Stockholder would be liable, but for operation and application of the provisions of this Section 6.1(c), exceeds on a cumulative basis Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and then only to the extent of such excess.

(d)           In any case where the Company or the Stockholder have indemnified an Indemnified Party for any Damages and such Indemnified Party recover from third parties all or any part of the amount so indemnified by the Company or the Stockholder, such Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, the amount so recovered.

6.2          Claims Against Indemnified Parties.  With respect to claims or demands by third parties, whenever an Indemnified Party shall have received notice that such a claim or demand has been asserted or threatened which, if valid, would be subject to indemnification under Section 6.1 hereof, such Indemnified Party shall as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, notify the Company and the Stockholder of such claim or demand and of all relevant facts within its knowledge which relate thereto.  The Company and/or the Stockholder shall then have the right at their own expense to undertake the defense of any such claims or demands utilizing counsel selected by the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, and approved by the Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  In the event that the Company or the Stockholder should fail to give notice of the intention to undertake the defense of any such claim or demand within sixty (60) days after receiving notice that it has been asserted or threatened, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to satisfy and discharge the same by payment, compromise or otherwise and shall give written notice of any such payment, compromise or settlement to the Company and the Stockholder.

6.3          Right of Offset.  In the event that the Company or the Stockholder may be required to pay monies in indemnification to any Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification provision of this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to offset any amounts which are owed to it in indemnification by the Company or the Stockholder against any amounts which are payable by such Indemnified Party to the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, provided however, that nothing set forth in this section shall relieve the Indemnified Party of its obligations to make payments (subject to reduction for offsets as provided herein) under this Agreement when due.

 
6.4
Indemnification by the Purchaser.

(a)           Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, the Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Stockholder against and in respect of all damages, claims, losses and expenses (including without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred by the Company or the Stockholder with respect thereto (all such amounts may hereinafter be referred to as "Seller Damages") arising out of:  (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty made by the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or in any statement, certificate or other document furnished by the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement; and (ii) the nonperformance or breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Purchaser which has not been waived by the Company and the Stockholder collectively.

(b)           Subject to Section 3.3 hereof, the Purchaser shall be obligated to indemnify the Company and/or the Stockholder, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 6.4 only with respect to claims for Seller Damages as to which the Company or the Stockholder shall have given written notice to the Purchaser on or before the close of business on the sixtieth day following the second anniversary of the Closing Date.

(c)           Notwithstanding the indemnification provided pursuant to Subsection 6.4(a) above, no amount shall be payable by the Purchaser in indemnification hereunder or under any other provision of this Agreement unless the aggregate amount of Seller Damages in respect of which the Purchaser would be liable, but for operation and application of the provisions of this Subsection 6.4(c), exceeds on a cumulative basis Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and then only to the extent of such excess.

(d)           In any case where the Purchaser has indemnified the Company or the Stockholder for any Seller Damages and the Company or the Stockholder recover from third parties all or any part of the amount so indemnified by the Purchaser, the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, shall promptly reimburse to the Purchaser the amount paid by the Purchaser to the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, up to the amount so recovered.

(e)           Claims Against the Company or the Stockholder.  With respect to claims or demands by third parties, whenever the Company or the Stockholder shall have received notice that such a claim or demand has been asserted or threatened, which, if valid, would be subject to indemnification under Section 6.4 hereof, the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, shall as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, notify the Purchaser (and the Stockholder in the event that the Company receives such notice) of such claim or demand and of all relevant facts within its knowledge which relate thereto.  The Purchaser shall have the right at its expense to undertake the defense of any such claim or demand utilizing counsel selected by the Purchaser.  In the event that the Purchaser should fail to give notice of its intention to undertake the defense of any such claim or demand within sixty (60) days after receiving notice that it has been asserted or threatened, the Company or the Stockholder, as the case may be, shall have the right to satisfy and discharge the same by payment, compromise or otherwise and shall give written notice of any such payment, compromise or settlement to the Purchaser.

6.5          Disclosure Generally.  If and to the extent any information required to be furnished in any schedule is contained in this Agreement or in any schedule attached hereto, such information shall be deemed to be included in all Schedules in which the information is required to be included.  The inclusion of any information in any schedule attached hereto shall not be deemed to be an admission or acknowledgment by the Company or the Stockholder, in and of itself, that such information is material to or outside the ordinary course of the business of the Company.

6.6          Acknowledgment by Purchaser.  The representations and warranties by the Company and the Stockholder contained in this Agreement and exhibits and schedules hereto constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company and the Stockholder to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

or to such other persons or addresses as may be designated in writing by the party to receive such notice.  If personally delivered, such communication shall be deemed delivered upon actual receipt; if electronically transmitted pursuant to this paragraph, such communication shall be deemed delivered the next business day after transmission (and sender shall bear the burden of proof of delivery), unless sender confirms receipt through personal contact, in which case such communication shall be deemed delivered upon such confirmation; if sent by overnight courier pursuant to this paragraph, such communication shall be deemed delivered upon receipt; and if sent by U.S. mail pursuant to this paragraph, such communication shall be deemed delivered as of the date of delivery indicated on the receipt issued by the relevant postal service, or, if the addressee fails or refuses to accept delivery, as of the date of such failure or refusal.  Any party to this Agreement may change its address for the purposes of this Agreement by giving notice thereof in accordance with this Section.

8.8           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which shall constitute but one agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart.  In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

8.12        Remedies.  It is acknowledged that Section 4.1(j) is of a unique nature and of extraordinary value and of such a character that a breach thereof by the Stockholder may result in irreparable damage and injury to the Purchaser for which the Purchaser may not have any adequate remedy at law.  Therefore, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek a decree of specific performance against the breaching party, or such other relief by way of restraining order, injunction or otherwise as may be appropriate to ensure compliance with this Agreement.  The remedies provided by this Section 8.12 are non-exclusive and the pursuit of such remedies shall not in any way limit any other remedy available to the parties with respect to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any remedy available at law or equity with respect to any anticipatory or threatened breach of the provisions hereof.

8.13        Confidentiality. The Company, the Purchaser, and the Stockholder each recognize that they have received and will receive confidential information concerning the other during the course of the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and preparation of the related transaction documents.
