(i)

2005 Stock Consideration

If ORC 2005 EBITDA is less than or equal to the ORC 2005 EBITDA Floor, the amount of the 2005 Stock Consideration to be delivered to the Shareholders pursuant to Section 1.4(a)(iii)(x) will be zero. If ORC 2005 EBITDA is greater than the ORC 2005 EBITDA Floor, the amount of the 2005 Stock Consideration will be equal to the sum of:

(x) the lesser of (1) $1,500,000 divided by the Strike Price, and (2) the result obtained by (I) multiplying (a) the amount by which ORC 2005 EBITDA exceeds the ORC 2005 EBITDA Floor by (b) four, and (II) dividing the product by the Strike Price; plus

(y) if ORC 2004 EBITDA was less than the ORC 2004 EBITDA Target and ORC 2005 EBITDA exceeds the ORC 2005 EBITDA Target, the result obtained by (I) multiplying (a) the lesser of (1) the ORC 2004 EBITDA Deficit and (2) the amount by which ORC 2005 EBITDA exceeds the ORC 2005 EBITDA Target by (b) two and (II) dividing the product by the Strike Price.

In no event shall the sum of the 2004 Stock Consideration and the 2005 Stock Consideration exceed an amount equal to Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000) divided by the Strike Price. In the event the Maximum Stock Consideration exceeds the Actual Stock Consideration, the shares of Purchaser Stock representing the difference shall be deemed forfeited by the Shareholders (in the respective amounts applicable to each) and such shares shall be released and returned to the Purchaser by the Escrow Agent immediately after the determination made pursuant to this Section 1.4(d)(i).

1.5

Adjustments to the Acquisition Consideration.

(a) The parties agree that the Aggregate Closing Amount payable at Closing shall be reduced by the face amount of the Company’s accounts receivable that have been outstanding ninety (90) days or more as of Closing (the “Aged Receivables”). The amount heldback as provided in the above sentence shall be referred to as the “Receivables Holdback.” The Purchaser shall retain and deliver the Receivables Holdback as provided in this Section 1.5(a). At the end of each calendar month following Closing, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Shareholders any amount collected under the Aged Receivables lessany amounts expended by the Purchaser in connection with any applicable collection efforts. The Purchaser shall have no obligation to deliver or otherwise pay to the Shareholders any uncollected portion of the Receivables Holdback. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, (i) following the one hundred eighty (180) day period immediately following Closing, the Purchaser shall have no further obligation to deliver to the Shareholders any amount thereafter received under the Aged Receivables and the Purchaser shall, in its sole discretion, be entitled to write-off and cease collections efforts with respect to any Aged Receivable then outstanding (whether in whole or in part); (ii) nothing set forth herein shall obligate the Purchaser in any way to engage in collection practices with respect to the Aged Receivables other than practices reasonably consistent with its usual and ordinary collection practices then in effect; and (iii) the Purchaser shall have no obligation whatsoever to collect from any customer for an Aged Receivable that such customer disputes.

(b) In the event that any of the Shareholders shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement to indemnify or hold harmless any Purchaser Indemnified Party, including, without limitation, for any Losses or any Clawback Amount, the Purchaser shall be entitled to, but shall not be obligated to, set-off and recoup such Losses and/or Clawback Amount against the Acquisition Consideration; it being acknowledged and understood that any such set-off or recoupment may be made, in the Purchaser’s sole discretion, against any portion of the Acquisition Consideration that is not paid at Closing and prior to payment or delivery to the Shareholders, including (i) the Actual Stock Consideration, (ii) the Deferred Cash Payment, (iii) amounts collected by the Purchaser that are attributable to the Receivables Holdback, and/or (iv) the Contingent Earnout Payment.

(c) If the Company’s 2004 Revenue shall be less than Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000), then the Shareholders, jointly and severally, shall pay to the Purchaser upon demand an amount equal to the difference between (i) Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) and (ii) the Company’s 2004 Revenue (the “Clawback Amount”). Each of the Shareholders and the Company hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants that the Company’s 2004 Revenue shall not be less than Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000). In the event the Company’s 2004 Revenue is less than Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000), and/or the Purchaser incurs any Losses for which the Purchaser exercises its set-off and recoupment rights pursuant to Section 1.5(b), the Purchaser shall give written notice to the Shareholders of the Clawback Amount and/or such Losses payable hereunder, and any set-off or recoupment against the Acquisition Consideration by the Purchaser for any such Clawback Amount and/or Losses shall be effective upon the date seven (7) calendar days immediately following the date of such notice (the “Set-off Effective Date”); provided, however, if the Shareholders dispute such claim in writing to the Purchaser prior to the Set-off Effective Date, then the effective date of such set-off or recoupment shall be the date the dispute is resolved; provided, further, however, that regardless of any dispute between the parties as to any such set-off or recoupment, the Purchaser shall be entitled to withhold any amounts deemed adequate by the Purchaser for such purpose until the date the dispute is resolved.

(d) In the event that as of the Set-off Effective Date, the total of (i) the Actual Stock Consideration, (ii) the Deferred Cash Payment, (iii) amounts collected by the Purchaser that are attributable to the Receivables Holdback and (iv) the Contingent Earnout Payment, not yet paid or delivered to the Shareholders is insufficient to set-off and recoup any claim for any Clawback Amount and/or any Losses, then the Shareholders shall pay to the Purchaser, jointly and severally, the difference to the Purchaser within seven (7) calendar days following the date of the Purchaser’s above-referenced claim notice.

(e) No limitation on any such right of set-off and recoupment provided under this Section 1.5 shall otherwise affect any Purchaser Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder or otherwise. Such remedy of set-off and recoupment shall be in addition to and not in limitation of any injunctive relief or other rights or remedies to which any Purchaser Indemnified Party is or may be entitled, at law or in equity. The exercise of any such right of set-off and recoupment by the Purchaser in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

(f) All set-offs, recoupments and/or payments of Losses and/or any Clawback Amount shall be treated as adjustments to the Acquisition Consideration payable to the Shareholders.

1.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any such further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Purchaser or the Company with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company, the officers and directors of the Company are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to vest the Shareholders with full right, title and possession to and of the Acquisition Consideration, the officers and directors of the Purchaser are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action.

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS; INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements. Notwithstanding any right of the Purchaser (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of the Shareholders or the Company (whether pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise) or a waiver by the Purchaser of any condition to Closing set forth in Article 6, the Purchaser shall have the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Except for the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2, 2.3(a), 2.11, 2.14, 2.19, and 2A.1 (which shall survive the Closing and continue until the applicable statute of limitations has expired), all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue until the third anniversary of the Closing (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that all of the representations and warranties made by the Company contained in this Agreement or in any instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall expire upon the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, each provision of Article 1 and all corresponding Schedules shall survive until the satisfaction of all obligations described therein, and each provision of Article 9 and Article 10 shall survive so long as it is relevant to any other surviving provision. No Action or Proceeding may be instituted to enforce, or seek damages or other remedies with respect to the breach of any representation or warranty after the expiration of the period of survival for such representation or warranty as described above.

7.2 Indemnification by the Shareholders. After the Closing, the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Company), officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by each of the Shareholders, jointly and severally, for any and all Liabilities, losses, damages of any kind, diminution in value, claims, costs, expenses, fines, fees, deficiencies, interest, awards, judgments, amounts paid in settlement and penalties (including, without limitation, attorneys’, consultants’ and experts’ fees and expenses and other costs of defending, investigating or settling claims) actually suffered or incurred by them (including, without limitation, in connection with any action brought or otherwise initiated by any of them) (hereinafter, “Loss(es)”), arising out of or resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach (or any claim by any third party alleging or constituting an inaccuracy or breach) of any representation or warranty of the Company or any of the Shareholders, as of the date of this Agreement, contained in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements or any other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement made by the Company or any of the Shareholders in this Agreement or in the Ancillary Agreements or any other instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

(iii) Losses from breach of contract or other claims made by any party alleging to have had a contractual or other right to acquire Company Common Stock or any of the Company’s Assets and Properties;

(iv) Losses with respect to any Company Expenses required to be paid by the Shareholders pursuant to Section 5.3;

(v) Losses with respect to any Contract resulting from, relating to or arising out of the conduct of the Company’s business, including without limitation, Losses incurred as the result of any audit, renegotiation, termination, breach (other than breaches which occur after the Closing), amendment or adjustment of any Contract; or

(vi) Losses with respect to the litigation described in Section 7.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

7.3 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) The obligations and Liabilities of the Shareholders under this Article 7 with respect to Losses arising from claims of any third party which are subject to the indemnification provided for in this Article 7 (“Third Party Claims”) shall be governed by and contingent upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 7.3. If any Purchaser Indemnified Party shall receive notice of any Third Party Claim, the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall give the Shareholders notice of such Third Party Claim within fifteen (15) days of the receipt by the Purchaser Indemnified Party of such notice; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release any of the Shareholders from any of his respective obligations under this Article 7. The notice of claim shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Purchaser Indemnified Party giving rise to such indemnification claim and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount arising therefrom.

(b) Any of the Shareholders shall be entitled to assume and control the defense of a Third Party Claim at his expense and through counsel of his choice (such counsel to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Indemnified Party) if he gives notice of his intention to do so to the Purchaser Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of such notice from the Purchaser Indemnified Party; provided, however, if there exists or is reasonably likely to exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Purchaser Indemnified Party and any such Shareholder, then the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel, in each jurisdiction for which counsel is required, at the expense of the Shareholders, jointly and severally. In the event that any of the Shareholders exercises the right to undertake any such defense against any such Third Party Claim as provided above, such Shareholder(s) shall conduct the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently and the Purchaser Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Shareholder(s) in such defense and make available to such Shareholder(s) at such Shareholder’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Purchaser Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by such Shareholder(s). Similarly, in the event the Purchaser Indemnified Party is, directly or indirectly, conducting the defense against any such Third Party Claim, the Shareholders shall cooperate with the Purchaser Indemnified Party in such defense and make available to the Purchaser Indemnified Party, at the Shareholders’ expense, jointly and severally, all such witnesses, records, materials and information in any Shareholder’s possession or under any Shareholder’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Purchaser Indemnified Party. No such Third Party Claim may be settled by any party conducting the defense against such claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld.

(c) Each Shareholder hereby agrees that he will not make any claim for indemnification against the Purchaser (or the Company) by reason of the fact that such Shareholder was a controlling person, director, officer, employee, agent or other representative of the Company or was serving as such for another Person at the request of the Company (whether such claim is for Liabilities of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, charter, bylaw, Contract or otherwise) with respect to any Action or Proceeding, Third Party Claim or other Loss claim brought by any Purchaser Indemnified Party against such Shareholder (whether such Action, Proceeding, Third Party Claim or other Loss claim is pursuant to this Agreement, applicable law or otherwise).

7.4 Right of Offset. As provided in Section 1.5, in the event any amounts are payable by any Shareholder to Purchaser Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article 7, the Purchaser may set-off and recoup such amounts against (i) the Actual Stock Consideration, (ii) the Deferred Cash Payment (iii) amounts collected by the Purchaser that are attributable to the Receivables Holdback and/or (iv) the Contingent Earnout Payment, to the extent that any such amount has not been previously paid or delivered to the Shareholders. The Purchaser’s right to set-off and recoup amounts payable by any Shareholder is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights the Purchaser may have at law, in equity, under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise with respect to recovering such amounts from the Shareholders.

ARTICLE 8

8.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

8.4 Extension; Waiver.

Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party.
