ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION; CLOSING

3.1 Purchase Price.

(a) The aggregate purchase price for the Assets will be $16,650,000 (the “Cash Purchase Price”). SGS will pay the Cash Purchase Price in three cash installments, as follows:

(i) $11,650,000 at Closing. Also at Closing, Buyer shall reimburse Seller for the amount of Seller’s security deposit held by the landlord with respect to the Ramsey Lease.

(ii) $2,500,000 on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.

(iii) $2,500,000 on the second anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, that $500,000 of this installment (the “EBITDA Holdback”) will only be payable if the Business has achieved a threshold EBITDA Margin of 21% for the second year of operations following Closing. (It being agreed that “EBITDA Margin” will be calculated and determined in accordance Sections 3.3 and 3.4).

The preceding notwithstanding, the payments contemplated by subsections 3.1(a)(ii) and (iii) are subject to forfeiture in the following circumstances: if Mr. Jackson and/or Mr. Nussbaum voluntarily terminates his employment before the scheduled

expiration of his Leased Employment Agreement (defined below), Seller will forfeit 50% (if there is one terminating employee) or 100% (if there are two terminating employees) of any remaining portion of the payments contemplated by subsections 3.1(a)(ii) and (iii). In addition, if Robert Jackson voluntarily terminates his employment before the scheduled expiration of his employment agreement with Buyer and, at the time of Robert Jackson’s voluntary termination Michael Jackson Sr. has not voluntarily terminated his own employment in a manner that would cause a forfeiture, Seller will forfeit 50% of any remaining portion of the payments contemplated by subsections 3.1(a)(ii) and (iii). For avoidance of doubt, there will be no forfeiture in the event of a termination of employment by reason of death or disability.

In the event that Buyer sells the Business to a non-Affiliated third party (by way of a sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Business or a sale of all or substantially all the assets of Buyer) before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, any amounts payable by Buyer under subsection 3.1(a)(ii) and/or (iii) will become payable upon the date of such sale, subject to any set-off exercised by Buyer under Section 10.2(f) before such date and/or any forfeiture occurring before such date under Section 3.1(a). In the event that such a sale occurs after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but before the second anniversary of the Closing Date, whether the EBITDA Holdback is payable upon such sale will be determined on the basis of 2008 EBITDA Margin through the month-end preceding such sale, annualized for all of 2008.

(b) Buyer acknowledges that Seller owns certain packaging and shipping materials inventory that is not shown on Seller’s balance sheet (the “Materials Inventory”), which Buyer will not acquire at Closing and which will constitute an Excluded Asset. At Closing, Seller will identify the Materials Inventory on hand as of the Closing Date. Buyer will pay to Seller proceeds of sales of the Materials Inventory subject to and in accordance with Section 10.7.

(c) Subject to Section 10.2(f), Buyer shall pay each installment of the Cash Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to Seller’s account as follows (or to such other account as Seller shall designate by written notice delivered to Buyer):

The Bank of New York

ABA Routing No.: 021000018

Account Name: R.L. Ecker, P.C.

Account No.: 6776702402

In escrow for C.M. Jackson Associates, Inc.

(d) The Cash Purchase Price shall constitute the “Consideration”. The Consideration shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in the manner proposed by Buyer within 60 days after Closing and approved as promptly as practicable thereafter by Seller, Seller’s approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

3.2 The Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets shall take place on February 28, 2007, unless otherwise agreed by the parties; provided, however, that subject to Section 13.1, the date of the Closing shall be automatically extended from time to time for so long as any of the conditions set forth in Articles VII and VIII shall not be satisfied or waived. The date on which the Closing occurs shall be the “Closing Date”. The Closing shall be deemed to be effective as of 11:59 p.m. (local time) on the Closing Date.

3.3 EBITDA Statement.

The amount of the EBITDA Margin will be determined from a calculation for the 12 months ending on the second anniversary of the Closing Date in the form set forth in Exhibit 3.3 (the “EBITDA Statement”), prepared by Buyer consistent with Buyer’s practices and accounting policies. The EBITDA Statement shall be subject to review and confirmation by Seller. The parties shall cooperate in the determination of the EBITDA Statement. Buyer shall cause the EBITDA Statement to be delivered to Seller not later than 90 days after the second anniversary of the Closing Date. Seller may confirm that it agrees with the EBITDA Statement at any time following receipt from Buyer.

3.4 Disputes Regarding the EBITDA Statement. Disputes with respect to the EBITDA Statement shall be resolved as follows:

(a) Seller shall have 30 days after receipt of the EBITDA Statement from Seller (the “Dispute Period”) to dispute any amounts reflected on the EBITDA Statement (a “Dispute”). If Seller does not give written notice of a Dispute within the Dispute Period to Buyer (a “Dispute Notice”), the EBITDA Statement shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by Seller in the form in which it was delivered by Buyer, and shall be final and binding upon the parties. If Seller has a Dispute, Seller shall give Buyer a Dispute Notice within the Dispute Period, setting forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which it disagrees. Within 30 days after delivery of such Dispute Notice (the “Negotiating Period”), the parties shall attempt to resolve such Dispute and agree in writing upon the final content of the EBITDA Statement.

(b) If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any Dispute within the Negotiating Period, the parties shall engage within five days following the end of the Negotiating Period a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller, who is not rendering (and during the preceding two-year period has not rendered) audit services in North America to either Seller or Buyer, or their respective Affiliates, to serve as arbitrator (the “Arbitrating Accountant”) to settle such Dispute. In connection with the resolution of any Dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall have access to all documents,

records, work papers, facilities and personnel necessary to perform its function as arbitrator. The arbitration before the Arbitrating Accountant shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The Arbitrating Accountant’s award with respect to any Dispute shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto, and judgment may be entered on the award. Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrating Accountant with respect to any Dispute.

(c) Within 5 business days after the EBITDA Statement has been finalized under Section 3.3 or 3.4, Buyer shall pay the EBITDA Holdback to Seller by wire transfer if EBITDA Margin equals or exceeds 21%.

The Employee Arrangements intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code so qualify and the trusts maintained pursuant thereto are exempt from federal income taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and nothing has occurred with respect to the operation of the Employee Arrangements which could cause the loss of such qualification or exemption or the imposition of any material liability, penalty, or tax under ERISA or the Code. Seller, and each of the Employee Arrangements are in compliance in all respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and other applicable laws. There is no violation of ERISA with respect to the filing of any applicable reports, documents, and notices regarding the Employee Arrangements with the Secretary of Labor, the Secretary of the Treasury or any other governmental agency, or the furnishing of such documents to the participants or beneficiaries of the Employee Arrangements. All contributions required by law to any Employee Arrangement have been made by Seller without regard to any waivers granted under Section 412 of the Code, and there are no accumulated funding deficiencies with respect to any of the plans subject to Section 412 of the Code. All unpaid contributions to and all payments due under the Employee Arrangements (except those to be made from a trust qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code) shall be properly accrued and reflected in the Financial Statements or are disclosed on Schedule 4.22. There are no pending actions, claims or lawsuits which have been asserted or instituted against any of the Employee Arrangements, the assets of any of the trusts or funds under any of such plans or the plan sponsor or the plan administrator of such plans, or against any fiduciary (as defined in Section 3(21) of ERISA) of the Employee Arrangements with respect to the operation or administration of such Employee Arrangements (other than routine benefit claims), nor does Seller have knowledge of facts which could form the basis for any such action, claim or lawsuit which could lead to a material claim against Buyer. There are no pending investigations by any governmental agency involving the Employee Arrangements.

(ii) with the exception of the representations and warranties contained in Sections 4.13 (Taxes) and 4.19 (Environmental), Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to a breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties unless such claim has been asserted by a Buyer Indemnitee by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the second anniversary of the Closing Date;

Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their respective successors and permitted assigns (the “Seller Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Damages, together with any and all related costs and expenses (including reasonable legal and accounting fees), which may be asserted against or sustained or incurred by Seller Indemnitees in connection with, relating to or arising out of (i) the ownership or operation of the Purchased Assets by Buyer after the Closing, (ii) Buyer’s failure to perform or discharge when due the Assumed Liabilities or (iii) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement; provided that Seller shall give Buyer prompt written notice of the occurrence of any of the foregoing matters, shall not voluntarily pay any such claim or voluntarily sustain or incur any such loss, obligation, liability or damage without Buyer’s prior written consent, and shall give Buyer full opportunity to defend any such claim.

(e) Environmental Investigations. With regard to any environmental matter for which Seller may have an indemnification obligation described in Section 10.2(b), Buyer shall:

(i) provided it has received reasonable prior notice, and subject to the consent and rights of the owner of the Ramsey Facility, permit Seller access to the Ramsey Facility during normal business hours to conduct its own investigation or testing with regard to the matter; provided, that Seller shall provide the results of any such investigation or testing, including analytical data, to Buyer;

(ii) if requested by Seller, provide Seller with the results, including analytical data, of any investigation or testing conducted by Buyer or, if available to Buyer, any third party;

Any such plan of action shall be constructed so as to cause the minimum amount of disruption to the Business and the minimum adverse effect on the ongoing operations of the Business.

(f) Set-Off. If any amount remains due by Seller to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10.2 (the “Outstanding Indemnity”), then Buyer may, without limiting any other rights and remedies it may have, at its option, set off such Outstanding Indemnity against any amount due by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and /or 10.7, until the Outstanding Indemnity has been completely paid by Seller or set off pursuant to this Section 10.2(f).

10.2A Discharge of Obligations. Seller covenants to promptly pay and discharge as and when they become due all debts, obligations and liabilities that are Excluded Liabilities, including without limitation trade and other accounts payable. For avoidance of doubt, Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2(b) with respect to Seller’s failure to discharge when due any such trade and other accounts payable, or a claim against Buyer with respect to such trade and other accounts payable, and that Buyer shall have the right to set off any Outstanding Indemnity attributable to such trade and other accounts payable against any amount due by Buyer pursuant to Section 3.1(a), 3.1(b) and /or 10.7. Without limiting Seller’s obligations or Buyer’s rights as set forth in the preceding two sentences, but for clarification, Buyer has no obligation to pay on Seller’s behalf any account payable that is an Excluded Liability and, to the extent that any party to whom such account payable is owed seeks payment from Buyer, Buyer will not pay on Seller’s behalf any account payable that is an Excluded Liability that is being disputed by Seller in good faith without the prior written consent of Seller.

10.3 Non-competition Covenant.

(a) Seller agrees that, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is three years after the Closing Date, neither it nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly, in any way:

(i) engage in, have any investment in any entity that engages in, or participate in, anywhere in North America, the manufacture, production, sale or supply of design or creative, production art or pre-press, packaging management, project tracking or digital asset management products or services;

(ii) persuade or attempt to persuade any customer of Buyer that formerly was a customer of the Business (while owned by Seller) to restrict, limit or discontinue purchasing any products or services supplied by Buyer to any such customer or to reduce the amount of business which any such customer has customarily done with Buyer in respect of the Business or solicit or take away, or attempt to solicit or take away, from Buyer any of its customers in respect of the Business;

(iii) solicit, hire or engage the services of any former employee of Seller then employed by Buyer, or persuade or attempt to persuade any such individual to terminate his or her employment with Buyer; or

(iv) use for its own benefit or the benefit of any person or entity or disclose to any person or entity other than Buyer (or Buyer’s Affiliates) any information whatsoever concerning the Business. The foregoing provisions of this clause (iv) shall not apply to information (x) which is in the public domain or independently received from a third party with a right to disclose such information or (y) to the extent that disclosure is required by law, provided that, if disclosure is so required, Seller shall promptly advise Buyer so that Buyer may seek appropriate legal or equitable relief.

(b) Seller acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of Section 10.3(a) are reasonable and necessary for Buyer’s protection. Seller further acknowledges and agrees that Buyer’s remedy at law for breach of the covenants contained in Section 10.3(a) is inadequate and that Buyer, its successors and assigns, shall be entitled to injunctive relief for any breach or violation thereof.

(c) The time period, geographical area and scope of restrictions on the activities of Seller and its Affiliates under Section 10.3(a) are divisible, so that if any provision of Section 10.3(a) is invalid, that provision shall be automatically modified to the extent necessary to make it valid.

(d) Seller and/or any of its Affiliates may, without breaching the covenants contained in Section 10.3(a), hold up to five percent of the outstanding shares of any publicly held entity or publicly traded investment company, or acquire and operate any

business less than fifteen percent of the consolidated revenues of which are derived from activities that otherwise would breach the covenant contained in Section 10.3(a).

(e) In the event that Buyer defaults on its payment obligation under Section 3.1(a)(ii) or (iii) and the amount due under Section 3.1(a)(ii) or (iii) has not been paid to Seller by or on behalf of Buyer or the Guarantor within 90 days following the applicable due date, the covenants contained in Section 10.3(a) shall cease to have effect at the expiration of such 90-day period. If such covenants cease to have effect pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall relinquish the right to use the name “C.M. Jackson Associates, Inc.” if Buyer is no longer using such name or, if Buyer is still using such name, Seller may adopt and use a name that contains the words “Jackson” and/or “Nussbaum” and variations thereof, so long as such name is not confusingly similar to “C.M. Jackson Associates, Inc.” and is accepted for registration under applicable New Jersey law. For avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be deemed to have defaulted on its payment obligation if its non-payment of all or any portion of the amount due under Section 3.1(a)(ii) or (iii) is the result of Buyer having exercised its right of set-off under Section 10.2(f), or is the result of a forfeiture pursuant to Section 3.1(a), or is the result of any other matter being contested (as described in a writing delivered to Seller) in good faith by Buyer. For further avoidance of doubt, the EBITDA Holdback shall not be deemed to be due and payable until the EBITDA Statement shall have been finalized under Section 3.3 or 3.4.

10.4 Inspection of Records. Seller and Buyer shall, at the expense of the other party, each make their books and records available for inspection by the other party, or by its duly accredited representatives, for reasonable business purposes (including, without limitation, the defense of litigation) at all reasonable times during normal business hours, for a seven year period after the Closing Date, with respect to all operations and transactions of the Business occurring before and those relating to the Closing, the Purchased Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and, as appropriate, matters relating to the parties’ post-Closing obligations hereunder. The right of inspection under this Section includes the right to make extracts or copies at the inspecting party’s expense subject to such confidentiality agreement as the other party may reasonably require. The representatives of a party inspecting the records of the other party shall be reasonably satisfactory to the other party. Neither party shall destroy any such books and records during, or following the conclusion of, such seven-year period without first offering to transfer such books and records to the other party at the expense of the party to which such offer is made. If such offer is not accepted within 30 days, such books and records may be destroyed.

10.5 Third Party Claims. The parties shall cooperate with each other (including, without limitation, making their respective employees available to serve as witnesses) with respect to the defense of any claims or litigation made or commenced by third parties after the Closing, subject to the indemnification provisions contained in Section 10.2; provided that the party requesting cooperation shall reimburse the other party for the other party’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of furnishing such cooperation.

10.6 Accounts Receivable. For avoidance of doubt, the accounts receivable of the Business as of the Closing Date (“Seller’s Receivables”) are an Excluded Asset. Buyer shall have no obligation to collect Seller’s Receivables and they shall remain the sole responsibility of Seller.

10.7 Materials Inventory. Materials Inventory shall constitute an Excluded Asset and any commitments made by Seller with respect to Materials Inventory shall constitute an Excluded Liability and shall remain Seller’s sole responsibility; provided, that, for a period of fifteen months following Closing, Buyer will, as Materials Inventory is ordered by and shipped to customers, invoice customers on Seller’s behalf and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect on Seller’s behalf the proceeds of sales of Materials Inventory (“Materials Inventory Proceeds”) . Buyer shall use its usual, ordinary course procedures (or, at Buyer’s discretion, the procedures used by Seller before Closing) with respect to such invoicing and collection activities, and shall in no event be obligated to put forth any effort with respect to the collection of Materials Inventory Proceeds that it would not put forth with respect to the collection of Buyer’s own accounts receivable. Buyer shall in no event have any liability to Seller with respect to (i) any failure to collect Materials Inventory Proceeds or (ii) any act or omission in connection with the collection of Materials Inventory Proceeds.

Buyer will pay to Seller the Materials Inventory Proceeds monthly following receipt by Buyer thereof, less a monthly fee of $1,000.00. The payment will be made by the 15^th of the following month for the previous month. To the extent that Materials Inventory Proceeds for a particular month are less than $1,000, Buyer will invoice Seller for the difference between $1,000 and the amount of Materials Inventory Proceeds for such month and Seller will pay such amount to Buyer promptly upon receipt of such invoice. Following Closing, Buyer will be solely responsible for making commitments for packaging and shipping materials inventory, for managing such inventory, for invoicing customers with respect thereto and for payment to applicable third parties.

ARTICLE XI

EMPLOYEES

11.1 Seller’s Employees. Buyer shall not be obligated to offer employment to any employee of the Business (subject to Sections 1.2(j), 7.7(a) and 11.2(a)), but Buyer shall have the right to offer employment to, and hire, any or all employees of the Business, on terms and conditions established by Buyer in its sole discretion. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Buyer from employing at any time after the Closing any Business employee who is not employed by Buyer effective on the date following the Closing Date. As between Seller and Buyer (and subject to Section 11.2), Seller shall be solely responsible for (a) all matters relating to any employees to whom Buyer does not offer employment or who do not accept Buyer’s offer of employment and (b) all matters relating to any events that occurred on or before the Closing Date.

11.2 Certain Employees.

(a) Buyer shall offer to enter into a two-year employment agreement, effective upon Closing, with each of Susanne Jackson, Helen Jackson, Robert Jackson and Michael Jackson Jr. (the “Designated Employees”). Such agreements will contain a covenant not to compete with Buyer or solicit Buyer’s customers or employees for three years following Closing or termination of the employment agreement, whichever is longer, and such other terms and conditions as are mutually agreeable to the parties. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, Buyer shall not be obligated to offer to any Designated Employee terms, conditions and/or benefits of employment which in the aggregate exceed the current level of such Designated Employee’s terms, conditions and benefits of employment.

(b) [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED].

11.3 Workers’ Compensation. Seller shall be responsible for and pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar statutory claims asserted by or with respect to any Business employees in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease which occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition which existed or occurred in whole before the Closing. Buyer shall be responsible for and pay any and all workers’ compensation and other similar statutory claims asserted by or with respect to any Business employees hired by Buyer in respect of any injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease which occurred or is attributable to any event, state of facts or condition which existed or occurred in whole after the Closing. If any such injury or other compensable event or occupational illness or disease of a Business employee who is employed by Seller before the Closing and by Buyer after the Closing is attributable in part to causes occurring before the Closing and in part to causes after the Closing and is the basis of a workers’ compensation or other similar statutory claim, the liability for any such claims shall be shared by Seller and Buyer in the proportion of the periods of exposure in respect of the occupational illness or disease of such Business employee which occurred before the Closing and that which occurred after the Closing. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 11.3 shall not preclude Buyer’s right to indemnification under Article X for any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement.

11.4 Seller’s 401K Plan. Promptly following Closing, Seller shall terminate Seller’s 401K plan (“Seller’s Plan”) and shall submit Seller’s Plan to the Internal Revenue Service for determination of its tax qualified status. Upon receipt by Seller of a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service, which Seller shall deliver to Buyer, participants in Seller’s Plan who are then Buyer’s employees will be eligible to roll over their distributions from Seller’s Plan into Buyer’s 401K plan.

ARTICLE XII

TAXES, FEES, ETC.

12.1 Proration of Taxes. Personal property taxes with respect to the Purchased Assets and real property taxes with respect to the Ramsey Facility shall be pro-rated to the Closing Date. Buyer shall timely pay the personal and real property taxes for which it is responsible and will collect from or refund to Seller, as the case may be, the amount by which the Estimated Property Tax Amount differs from the amount of property taxes properly allocated to Seller.

12.2 Transfer Taxes and Fees. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, all sales and use taxes, recording taxes and fees, personal property title application fees, patent application and copyright registration fees and other such fees payable in connection with the sale, transfer and delivery of the Purchased Assets shall be borne by the party legally or customarily responsible for payment of such taxes and fees. Seller and Buyer will cooperate in good faith to lawfully minimize sales, transfer and similar taxes imposed on or with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

ARTICLE XIII

TERMINATION

13.1 Right to Terminate. This Agreement may be terminated at any time before the Closing by prompt notice given in accordance with Section 14.2:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Buyer and Seller; or

(b) by Buyer or Seller if the Closing shall not have occurred at or before 11:59 p.m. on February 28, 2007.

13.2 Rights and Remedies. If this Agreement is terminated under Section 13.1, neither party shall have any claim against the other except if the circumstances giving rise to such termination were caused by the other party’s material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, in which event termination under Section 13.1 shall not be deemed or construed as limiting or denying any

legal or equitable right or remedy of such party, and such party shall be entitled to recover, without limitation, its costs and expenses which are incurred in pursuing its rights and remedies (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

ARTICLE XIV

MISCELLANEOUS

14.1 Expenses. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, each party shall bear all expenses, costs and fees incurred by such party (including, without limitation, the fees of attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, management consultants, brokers and other advisors) in the preparation and execution of this Agreement and compliance herewith, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated. The preceding sentence notwithstanding, Buyer shall be responsible for paying the fee of Bill Crowley with respect to the Transaction, but only if Closing occurs.

All notices required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and may be delivered by hand, by facsimile, by nationally recognized private courier, or by United States mail.

and XIV and the representations and warranties made, and the indemnification obligations undertaken, by Buyer and Seller in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

14.10 Publicity. Neither Seller nor Buyer will issue or approve a news release or other public announcement concerning the Transaction without the prior approval of the other as to the contents of such announcement and its release, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
