The Owned Real Property and Leased Real Property are all of the material real property assets which are used in or necessary to the continued conduct of the Company's business as it is currently operated. (e) Except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries, with respect to the Owned Real Property and the Leased Real Property, has violated (or will violate with notice or the passing of time or both) any zoning, subdivision or building Law applicable thereto, including all applicable health, fire and safety Laws, ordinances and administrative regulations; and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has violated (or will violate with notice or the passing of time or both) any covenants, conditions or restrictions contained in any easement, restrictive covenant or other similar instrument or agreement affecting the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property.

Section 3.15. Taxes. (a) Filing of Tax Returns. Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has timely filed with the appropriate taxing authority all Tax Returns required to be filed through the date hereof (after giving effect to any filing extension properly granted by a Governmental Authority having authority to do so or otherwise permitted by applicable Law). All such Tax Returns are complete and accurate in all material respects. All Taxes due and owing by any of the Company and the Subsidiaries on or before the date hereof (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been paid subject to such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim has ever been made in writing by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction where any of the Company and the Subsidiaries does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction, except for such claims as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No deficiencies for Taxes against any of the Company and the Subsidiaries have been claimed or assessed in writing by a Governmental Authority, subject to such exceptions as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no pending or, to the knowledge of any of the Company or the Subsidiaries, threatened audits, assessments or other Actions for or relating to any liability in respect of Taxes of any of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and there are no matters under discussion with any Governmental Authority, or known to any of the Company and the Subsidiaries, with respect to Taxes that are likely to result in any additional liability for Taxes with respect to any of the Company and the Subsidiaries. The Company has delivered or made available to the Investor complete and accurate copies of all federal income and material state income Tax Returns of each of the Company and the Subsidiaries and their predecessors for the ended years for which the applicable statute of limitations has not yet expired taking into account any extensions thereof (the "Open Years") and complete and accurate copies of all examination reports and statements of deficiencies assessed against or agreed to by any of the Company and the Subsidiaries or any predecessors during the applicable Open Years.

Other than customary contractual provisions in financing and commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, there are no Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements (including indemnity arrangements) with respect to or involving any of the Company and the Subsidiaries other than agreements solely between the Company and the Subsidiaries, and, after the Closing Date, none of the Company and the Subsidiaries shall be bound by any such Tax sharing agreements or similar arrangements or have any liability thereunder for amounts due in respect of periods prior to the Closing Date. (f) Other Entity Liability. None of the Company and the Subsidiaries has been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated federal income Tax Return (other than a group the common parent of which is the Company). None of the Company and the Subsidiaries has any liability for the Taxes of any Person (other than Taxes of the Company and the Subsidiaries) (i) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state or local law), (ii) as a transferee or successor, (iii) by contract, or (iv) otherwise, except, in the case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv), pursuant to customary contractual provisions in financing and commercial agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice. 21 (g) Withholding Taxes.

Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnification. (a) All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall be deemed made at the Closing as if made at such time and shall survive the Closing for three years other than the representations and warranties in Sections 3.14(c) and 3.14(f) which shall survive the Closing for seven years. (b) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees and duly authorized agents and each of their affiliates and each other person controlling the Investor or any of its affiliates within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act and any partner of any of them from and against all losses, claims, damages, diminution in value of the Purchased Securities, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or liabilities ("Losses") which are related to or arise out of (1) any breach by the Company of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement or (2) failure to perform any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement. The term "Losses" as used in this Section 9.01 is not limited to matters asserted by third parties against an Indemnified Party, but includes Losses incurred or sustained by an Indemnified Party in the absence of third party claims, and shall be net of any Tax benefit available to the Indemnified Party. 38 (c) The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, duly authorized agents and affiliates from and against all Losses which are related to or arise out of (1) any breach by the Investor of any of its representations or warranties in this Agreement or (2) failure to perform any of the covenants or agreements made by the Investor in this Agreement. (d) A party claiming indemnification under this Agreement (an "Indemnified Party") with respect to any claims asserted against the Indemnified Party by a third party ("Third Party Claim") that would give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement shall promptly (i) notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") of the Third Party Claim, and (ii) transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice ("Claim Notice") describing in reasonable detail the nature of the Third Party Claim, a copy of all papers served with respect to such claim (if any), and the basis of the Indemnified Party's request for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure to provide such Claim Notice shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party's indemnification hereunder, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party demonstrates actual and material prejudice as a result of such failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim provided that such Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing its obligation to fully indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 9.01. (e) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, who is reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be prosecuted reasonably diligently by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party in accordance with this Section 9.01(d). The Indemnifying Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings, including, any compromise or settlement thereof, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter (i) which does not contain a complete release of the Indemnified Party, contains a finding of responsibility or liability on the part of the Indemnified Party or the violation of any applicable legal requirement, provides any material sanction or material restriction upon the conduct of any business by the Indemnified Party, or provides for any relief other than monetary damages which are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party, or (ii) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. If requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party agrees, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, to cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, including the making of any related counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim or any cross complaint against any person. The Indemnified Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Section 9.01, and the Indemnified Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation; provided, however, if in the opinion of counsel of the Indemnified Party there is a reasonable likelihood of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable costs and expenses of one counsel to represent the Indemnified Party and all similarly situated Indemnified Parties with whom a conflict of interest exists with the Indemnifying Party in connection with such defense. 39 (f) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the thirty (30) days after receipt of any Claim Notice that the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.01(e), or if the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 9.01(e) but fails to reasonably diligently defend or settle the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings shall be promptly and vigorously defended by the Indemnified Party to a final conclusion or settled (with the reasonable costs and expenses of such defense borne by the Indemnifying Party). The Indemnified Party shall have full control of such defense and proceedings; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not enter into any compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim if indemnification is to be sought hereunder, without the Indemnifying Party's consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnifying Party may participate in, but not control, any defense or settlement controlled by the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 9.01(g), and the Indemnifying Party shall bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such participation. (g) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder which does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall promptly transmit to the Indemnifying Party a written notice (the "Indemnity Notice") describing in reasonable detail the nature of the claim, the Indemnified Party's best estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim and the basis of the Indemnified Party's request for indemnification under this Agreement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days from its receipt of the Indemnity Notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes such claim (the "Dispute Notice"), the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted and agreed with such claim. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution to such dispute. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party cannot resolve such dispute in thirty (30) days after delivery of the Dispute Notice, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration pursuant to Section 9.10 hereof. (h) The parties agree to treat all indemnification payments made under this Article IX or otherwise under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price or as capital contributions for Tax purposes. The maximum aggregate amount of indemnity that will be paid by the Company under this Section 9.01 for any Losses is $11,000,000 plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock. The limitation on the aggregate amount of Losses payable by the Company for Losses under this Section 9.01 shall not limit the Company's liability to pay Invalidation Losses and/or Infringement Losses under Section 9.02 of this Agreement. 40 Section 9.02. Special Provisions Relating to Indemnity for Breach of Representations and Warranties regarding Patents. (a) In the event it is determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and not subject to further appeal, (or should the Company agree in a settlement of any litigation), that any of the patents listed in Section 3.14(a) of the Disclosure Schedule are not valid, then the Company and the Investor shall first attempt in good faith to quantify the net present value of estimated future earnings, if any, that are reasonably likely to be foregone as a direct result of the invalidation of such patent ("Invalidation Losses"). The directors elected by the Investor shall recuse themselves from all deliberations and votes with respect the determination of Invalidation Losses. If the Company and the Investor are unable to agree as to the amount of Invalidation Losses, then such issue shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.09. The amount of any such Invalidation Losses times the Investment Percentage shall be the amount of damages agreed to be suffered by the Investor for breach of the representation/warranty contained in Section 3.14(c) for which the Investor is entitled to indemnity under Section 9.01 hereof. (b) In the event it is determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and not subject to further appeal, (or should the Company agree in a settlement of any litigation), that the conduct of the Company's business as conducted as of the Closing Date, is infringing upon any valid patent held by a third party, then the Company and the Investor shall first attempt in good faith to quantify the net present value of (i) estimated future earnings, if any, that are reasonably likely to be foregone as a direct result of the finding of infringement, (ii) the estimated future costs, if any, that are reasonably likely to be incurred by the Company as a direct result of the finding of infringement, and (iii) any liquidated damages imposed on the Company (collectively, "Infringement Losses"). The directors elected by the Investor shall recuse themselves from all deliberations and votes with respect the determination of Infringement Losses. If the Company and the Investor are unable to agree as the amount of Infringement Losses, then such issue shall be submitted to arbitration pursuant to Section 9.09. The amount of any such Infringement Losses times the Investment Percentage shall be the amount of damages agreed to be suffered by the Investor for breach of the representation/warranty contained in Section 3.14(f) for which the Investor is entitled to indemnity under Section 9.01 hereof. (c) For purposes of Section 9.02, the term "Investment Percentage" means a percentage equal to the total number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Investor (assuming the exchange of Preferred Stock for Common Stock, but excluding the shares of Common Stock underlying Warrants which have not been exercised) divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. (d) The maximum aggregate amount of indemnity that will be paid by the Company under this Section 9.02 for Infringement Losses and/or Invalidation Losses is $11,000,000 plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends on the Preferred Stock. The limitation on the aggregate amount of Losses payable by the Company for Infringement Losses and/or Invalidation Losses under this Section 9.02 shall not limit the Company's liability to pay the amount of Losses that may be payable by the Company under Section 9.01 of this Agreement. 41 Section 9.03. Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt) by delivery in person, by telecopy, by a recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail (postage prepaid, return receipt requested) to the respective parties at the following addresses (or at such other address for a party as shall be specified in a notice given in accordance with this Section 9.03): if to the Investor: Mykonos 6420 LP 5449 Sherry Lane, Suite 1900 Dallas, Texas 75225 Attention: Heather Kreager With a copy to: Mykonos 6420 LP 5420 LBJ Freeway Two Lincoln Centre, Suite 1450 Dallas, Texas 75240 Attention: Bruce Leadbetter if to the Company: iSecureTrac Corp. 5078 S. 111th Street Omaha, NE 68137 Attention: Tom Wharton With a copy to: Kutak Rock LLP 1650 Farnam Street Omaha, NE 68102 Attention: Steven P. Amen, Esq. Section 9.04. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the Transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 42 Section 9.05. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede, all prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. Section 9.06. Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, except as provided in Section 9.01(b). Section 9.07. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity. Section 9.08. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Texas. Section 9.09. Arbitration. (a) Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in relation to or in connection with this Agreement, including without limitation any dispute as to the construction, validity, interpretation, enforceability or breach of this Agreement, shall be exclusively and finally settlement by arbitration in accordance with this Section 9.09. Any party may submit such a dispute, controversy or claim to arbitration by written notice to the other party. (i) The arbitration shall be heard and determined by one (1) arbitrator if the dispute relates to less than $100,000 otherwise three (3) arbitrators will be used. In the case of three (3) arbitrators each side shall appoint an arbitrator of its choice within thirty (30) days of the submission of a notice of arbitration. The party-appointed arbitrators shall in turn appoint a presiding arbitrator of the tribunal within thirty (30) days following the appointment of both party-appointed arbitrators. If the party-appointed arbitrators cannot reach agreement on a presiding arbitrator of the tribunal and/or one party refuses to appoint its party-appointed arbitrator within said thirty (30) day period, the appointing authority for the implementation of such procedure shall be the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") who shall appoint an independent arbitrator who does not have any financial interest in the dispute, controversy or claim or prior business or personal relationship with either party. If an arbitrator should die, withdraw or otherwise become incapable of serving, or refuse to serve, a successor arbitrator shall be selected and appointed in the same manner as the original arbitrator. (b) Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties to the arbitration proceedings: (i) The arbitration proceedings shall be held in Dallas, Texas; (ii) The arbitrator(s) shall be and remain at all times wholly independent and impartial; 43 (iii) The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted under the Arbitration Rules of the AAA, as amended from time to time; (iv) The costs of the arbitration proceedings (including attorneys' fees and costs) shall be borne in the manner determined by the arbitrator(s); (v) All decisions and awards by the arbitration tribunal shall be made by majority vote. The award of a majority of the arbitrators shall be reduced to writing. The award shall be final and binding and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounts presented to the arbitration tribunal. (vi) Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the person or the assets of the party owing the judgment, or application may be made to such court for judicial acceptance of the award and an order of enforcement, as the case may be. Any costs or fees incident to enforcing the award shall be charged to the party resisting such enforcement, including post-award interest in an amount equal to the maximum post- judgment interest allowed under Texas law. (c) If an indemnification amount is fixed, by arbitration or otherwise, prior to December 31, 2006, and full payment of such indemnification amount would affect the Company's status as a going concern, the arbitrator shall have discretion to structure the arbitration award to provide for level payments in installments over a four year period from the date of the award. If an indemnification amount is fixed during calendar year 2007, and full payment of such indemnification amount would affect the Company's status as a going concern, the arbitrator shall have discretion to structure the arbitration award to provide for level payments in installments over a three year period from the date of the award. If an indemnification amount is fixed during calendar year 2008, and full payment of such indemnification amount would affect the Company's status as a going concern, the arbitrator shall have discretion to structure the arbitration award to provide for level payments in installments over a two year period from the date of the award. The solvency of the Company shall not affect the amount of any indemnification award. Section 9.10. Headings.
