For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA shall mean the consolidated earnings from operations before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, calculated as if the Seller was being operated as a single separate and independent corporation.

No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior wr itten consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

1.
Rate of Interest. Amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at five percent (5.0%) per annum (Fixed Rate). Interest will be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days in each interest period. In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.
2.
Payment Terms. Payments of principal together with interest in the amount of [US$83,393] shall be due and payable commencing _September 1, 2006 and on the first day of each quarter thereafter. Any outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on June 1, 2007. The quarterly installment is calculated on the assumption that each periodic payment will be made on the date when due, and if there is any variation in the actual payment dates, there may be an additional amount due upon maturity of this Note. If any payment under this Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday under the laws of the State of New Jersey, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding business day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment. Payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expense s (including attorneys fees), accrued interest and principal in any order the Lender may choose, in its sole discretion.
3.
Prepayment Incentive. If the Borrower makes payment in full on the total outstanding balance of this Note on or prior to December 1, 2006, the total amount due and payable to pay this Note in full shall be reduced by Three Percent (3%) calculated on the total balance due and owing, including all outstanding accrued interest, on the date of payoff.
24
4.
Late Payments; Default Rate. If the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note within five (5) calendar days of the date due and payable, the Borrower also shall pay to the Lender a late charge equal to the greater of one thousand dollars ($1,000) or five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such payment (Late Charge). Such five (5) calendar day period shall not be construed in any way to extend the due date of any such payment.
5.
Default Rate. Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at the Lenders option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof, this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days and actual days elapsed) which shall be two percentage points (2.0%) in excess of the interest rate in effect from time to time under this Note but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (the Default Rate). The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Note. Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the Lenders expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Lenders exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which the Lender may employ. In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to the Lender of carrying a loan that is in default. The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by the Lender, and that the actual harm incurred by the Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.

4.
Conversion Price Adjustments
The Conversion Price of this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as follows:
4.1.
If the Company shall issue any Additional Stock without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Conversion Price for this Note in effect immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Stock, the Conversion Price for this Note in effect immediately prior to each such issuance shall forthwith (except as otherwise provided in this clause (4.1)) be adjusted to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issuance pursuant to subsection 4.6 plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by the corporation for the total number of shares of Additional Stock of Common Stock so issued would purchase at such Conversion Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock deemed outstanding immediately prior to such issue plus the number of such shares of Additional Stock of Common Stock so issued.
4.2.
No adjustment of the Conversion Price for this Note shall be made in an amount less than one cent per share, provided that any adjustments which are not required to be made by reason of this sentence shall be carried forward and shall be either taken into account in any subsequent adjustment made
4.3.
No adjustment of Conversion Prices shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price above the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.
4.4
In case the Company shall (i) subdivide or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine or reclassify its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, or (iv) enter into any transaction whereby the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company are at any time changed into or exchanged for a different number or kind of shares or other security of the Company or of another corporation through reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation or recapitalization, then appropriate adjustments in the number of Shares (or other securities for which such Shares have previously been exchanged or converted) subject to this Convertible Note shall be made and the Conversion Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation or recapitalization shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Holder of this Convertible Note exercised after such date shall be entitled to receive the aggregate number and kind of shares of Common Stock which, if this Convertible Note had been exercised by such Holder immediately prior to such date, he would have been entitled to receive upon such dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination, reclassification, reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation or recapitalization. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any event listed above shall occur.
4.5.
Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted, as herein provided, the Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price to be mailed to the Holder, at its address set forth herein, and shall cause a certified copy thereof to be mailed to the Companys transfer agent, if any. The Company may retain a firm of independent certified public accountants selected by the Board of Directors (who may be the regular accountants employed by the Company) to make any computation required by this Section 4, and a certificate signed by such firm shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment.
29
4.6.
In the case of the issuance of Common Stock, the consideration shall be deemed to be the amount of debt satisfied as a result thereof.
5.
An Assignment of this Convertible Note shall be effected by the Holder by (i) executing a legally acceptable form of assignment and (ii) surrendering the Convertible Note for cancellation at the office or agency of the Company; whereupon the Company shall issue, in the name or names specified by the Holder (including the Holder), a new Convertible Note or Note(s), if partial assignment, of like tenor and representing in the aggregate rights to purchase the same number of Shares as are purchasable hereunder at such time.
6.

EXHIBIT F
EXAMPLE
?
The Base Price is established as a 1.5 times multiple of the consolidated adjusted EBITDA for the 12 month period ended September 30, 2005.
?
The adjusted EBITDA being used is: $855,720
?
A 1.5 multiple applied to that number provides a base price of $1,283,580, of which $850,000 is due at closing and the balance as set forth in the contract.
?
The Contingent Price is the difference between $1,500,000 and $1,283,580, or, $216,420.
?
The Contingent price is payable based upon the results of each of the first two years after closing; i.e. $108,210.
?
That amount may be adjusted upward or downward on a pro rata basis based upon the actual results for the year as compared to the threshold
?
The threshold shall be an amount equal to the Consolidated Gross Profit for the trailing 12 month period ended September 30, 2005.
?
E.g. If in year #1, the gross profit is exactly equal to or exceeds the threshold number, 100% or $108,210 is due for the year;
?
E.g. if in that year, the gross profit is less than the threshold by 10%, the annual payment for that year would be reduced by 10% ($97,389 due);
?
E.g. In the event that the gross profits fall short in year #1, there is a possible catch-up in year #2 if the results in year #2 exceed threshold. Similarly, an overage in year #1 should be covered over to year #2 in measuring that years gross margin.
?
At the end of two years, the cumulative gross profit for those 2 years should be compared to the 2 year threshold (threshold times 2). If the cumulative threshold has exceeded the 2 year threshold (as per the 12 month period ended September 30, 2005), then the contingent price of $216,420 will be pro-rated upward by the percentage that the actual gross profit exceeded threshold, up to the point that the total base price and contingent price equal $2,000,000 (maximum).
?
E.g. The two year actual total exceeds the two year threshold by 50%. The additional contingent price due would be: $216,420 times 50%, or $108,420.
