Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Section 12.01.

WHEREAS, Sellers own all of the issued and outstanding general and limited partnership interests (the “Interests”) of the Company; and

WHEREAS, Sellers desire to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase from Sellers, all of the Interests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

PURCHASE AND SALE

1.01 Purchase and Sale of the Interests. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Sellers shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase from Sellers, the Interests.

1.02 Purchase Price; Adjustment.

(a) Purchase Price. In consideration for the transfer of the Interests to Purchaser at the Closing, Purchaser will (i) pay to Sellers cash in the amount of $4,950,000 (the “Initial Cash Payment”), subject to adjustment as provided in Section 1.02 and 1.03 (the Initial Cash Payment, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 1.02 and 1.03, the “Cash Payment”) and (ii) issue to Sellers a number of whole shares (ignoring fractions) of Purchaser Common Stock determined by dividing (x) $550,000 by (y) the Per Share Price (the “Purchased Shares” and, together with the Cash Payment and the Earnout Shares (as defined below), the “Purchase Price”).

	(b) Purchase Price Adjustment to Reflect Net Book Value.

	(i) Following the Closing Date, representatives of Purchaser and/or their independent public accountants (“Purchaser’s Accountants”) observed by Sellers and/or Sellers’ independent public accountants (“Sellers’ Accountants”) shall expeditiously perform such procedures with respect to the Company as are necessary and appropriate to prepare and review the Closing Date Financial Statements (as defined below). Not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers (A) a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance Sheet”),

	and the related statement of operations for the period commencing December 31, 2006 and ending on the Closing Date (together with the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the “Closing Date Financial Statements”), which Closing Date Financial Statements shall (I) be prepared in accordance with the Books and Records of the Company and (II) present fairly the financial position of the Company as of the Closing Date and the results of its operations for the applicable period in accordance with GAAP and those accounting policies and practices used in the preparation of the financial statements of Purchaser as set forth on Exhibit 1.02(b)(ii) and (B) a certificate of Purchaser (the “Closing Date Certificate”), which shall set forth Purchaser’s good faith calculation of the Net Book Value of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Book Value”) as determined from and supported by the Closing Date Balance Sheet. To the extent requested by Purchaser, Sellers shall, prior to the delivery of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, make available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Accountants such of the Books and Records of the Company in the possession of Sellers as shall be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. Sellers’ Accountants may participate in and observe the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet. Purchaser and Purchaser’s Accountants shall make all of their work papers and other relevant documents in connection with the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet available to Sellers and Sellers’ Accountants, and shall make the persons in charge of the preparation of the Closing Date Balance Sheet available for reasonable inquiry by Sellers and Sellers’ Accountants.

	(ii) Sellers shall notify Purchaser in writing within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the Closing Date Certificate if they do not agree with the Closing Date Net Book Value set forth thereon, in which case Purchaser and Purchaser’s Accountants on the one hand, and Sellers and Sellers’ Accountants on the other, will use good faith efforts during the ten (10) day period following the date such written notice was received by Purchaser to resolve any differences they may have as to the Closing Date Net Book Value. Such written notice will identify with specificity the calculations with which Sellers disagree or other bases for such disagreement. If Purchaser and Sellers cannot reach agreement during such ten day period, their disagreements shall be promptly submitted to an independent, nationally-recognized public accounting firm jointly selected by Purchaser’s Accountants and Sellers’ Accountants (the “Independent Accountant”), which shall conduct such additional review as is necessary to resolve the specific disagreements referred to it and, based thereon, shall determine the Closing Date Net Book Value. The review of the Independent Accountant will be restricted as to scope to address only those matters as to which Purchaser and Sellers have not reached agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence. The final determination as to any matter reviewed by the Independent Accountant shall be within the range supplied by Purchaser and Sellers. The Independent Accountant’s determination of the Closing Date Net Book Value, which shall be completed as promptly as practicable but in no event later than thirty (30) days following its selection, shall be confirmed by the Independent Accountant in writing to, and shall be final and binding on, Purchaser and Sellers for purposes of this paragraph (b).

	(iii) To the extent that the Closing Date Net Book Value determined in accordance with subparagraph (ii) or (iii), as the case may be (the “Final Net Book

- 2 -

	Value”), is greater than $1,300,000 (the amount by which the Final Net Book Value exceeds $1,300,000 being herein referred to as the “Excess Amount”), Purchaser shall be required to pay to Sellers an amount in cash equal to the Excess Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Sellers’ account. To the extent that the Final Net Book Value is less than $1,300,000 (the difference between $1,300,000 and the Final Net Book Value being herein referred to as the “Deficiency Amount”), then, Sellers shall be required to pay Purchaser an amount in cash equal to the Deficiency Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to Purchaser’s account.

	(iv) The fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be prorated between Sellers and Purchaser in proportion to the amounts in dispute resolved against each of them.

1.03 Accounts Receivable Payment.

(a) On the Closing Date, Sellers are providing Purchaser with a certificate of Sellers setting forth in detail (i) the face value of the Accounts Receivable of the Company as of the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Accounts Receivable”) and (ii) the amount of any bad debt reserves (the “Bad Debt Reserves”) with respect to the Closing Date Accounts Receivable.

(b) Purchaser shall, on and after the Closing Date, use commercially reasonable efforts to collect the Closing Date Accounts Receivable. Purchaser shall, after the Closing Date, also provide Sellers with reports from time to time as to the Closing Date Accounts Receivable collected.

Purchaser will sell, and Sellers agree to purchase, uncollected Closing Date Accounts Receivable specified by Purchaser, less the Bad Debt Reserves, for an aggregate purchase price equal to the total face amount thereof. After such uncollected Closing Date Accounts Receivable are purchased by Sellers, Purchaser will continue to make efforts to collect such Closing Date Accounts Receivable in the normal course of business, and any payments received thereon by Purchaser will be remitted to Sellers after deducting any expenses incurred in connection with such collection. To the extent that Purchaser collects Closing Date Accounts Receivable in excess of an amount equal to (x) the aggregate face value of the Closing Date Accounts Receivable less (y) the Bad Debt Reserves, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days following such collection, remit to Sellers one hundred percent (100%) of such excess amount.

(d) Any amounts payable by Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to Section 1.03(c) above shall be paid in cash by Sellers to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following the receipt of the Receivables Notice.

EBITDA earned by the Company for each six month period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2010 (such shares, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.04, the “Baseline Earnout Shares”); provided, however, that the maximum number of Baseline Earnout Shares to be issued shall be two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares. Any such Baseline Earnout Shares (and the amount of EBITDA) shall be calculated in good faith by Purchaser on a semi-annual basis on June 30 and December 31 of the relevant year using GAAP and the same accounting policies and practices used in the preparation of the financial statements of Purchaser and, subject to Section 1.07 below, such shares shall be delivered to Sellers within thirty (30) days after the amount of EBITDA has been determined for the relevant six month period. To the extent that EBITDA is negative for any applicable six month period, Purchaser may offset any future issuances of Baseline Earnout Shares by an amount equal to one share per each dollar of negative EBITDA.

1.05 Additional Consideration – Excess EBITDA Earnout. As additional consideration, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers eight-tenths of one share (0.8) of Purchaser Common Stock for each dollar of EBITDA earned by the Company in excess of two million five hundred thousand dollars ($2,500,000) for the period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on December 31, 2009 (such shares, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.05, the “Excess Earnout Shares” and, together with the “Baseline Earnout Shares”, the “Earnout Shares”); provided, however, that the maximum number of Excess Earnout Shares to be issued shall be two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares.

To the extent that EBITDA is negative for any applicable six month period, Purchaser may offset any future issuances of Excess Earnout Shares by an amount equal to eight-tenths of one share (0.8) per each dollar of negative EBITDA. The obligations of Purchaser to deliver the Baseline Earnout Shares and the Excess Earnout Shares pursuant to Sections 1.04 and 1.05 shall be subject to the receipt of representations substantially similar to those provided for in Sections 2.26 and 2.27 and shall be binding on any successor or assign of Purchaser pursuant to Section 13.09.

1.06 Allocation of Consideration. The Cash Payment, the Purchased Shares and the Earnout Shares shall be paid to Sellers in accordance with the schedule set forth on Exhibit 1.06.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be obligated to issue any Earnout Shares and Sellers shall not have the right to receive any Earnout Shares if the issuance of such Earnout Shares would exceed the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which Purchaser may issue without breaching Purchaser's obligations under the rules or regulations of the Principal Market, except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that Purchaser (a) obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules of the Principal

- 4 -

(a) After the Closing, Purchaser shall promptly notify Sellers in writing of any written notice of a proposed assessment or claim in an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding of Purchaser or the Company which, if determined adversely to the taxpayer, would be grounds for indemnification under this Article IX; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice will not affect Purchaser’s right to indemnification under this Article IX except to the extent, if any, that Purchaser’s failure to so notify Sellers precludes Sellers from contesting the Tax in question.

- 33 -

(b) In the case of an audit or administrative or judicial proceeding that relates to periods ending on or before the Closing Date, Sellers shall have the right at their expense to participate in and control the conduct of such audit or proceeding; provided, however, Purchaser may participate in any such audit or proceeding at its sole cost and expense and, if Sellers do not assume the defense of any such audit or proceeding, Purchaser may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such audit or proceeding after five (5) Business Days prior written notice to Sellers setting forth the terms and conditions of settlement.

The principle set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall govern also for purposes of deciding any issue that must be decided jointly (including choice of judicial forum) in situations in which separate issues are otherwise controlled under this Article IX by Purchaser and Sellers.

(d) Neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall enter into any compromise or agree to settle any claim pursuant to any Tax audit or proceeding which would adversely affect the other party for such year or a subsequent year without the written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

9.05 Cooperation and Exchange of Information.

Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by Tax authorities. Sellers shall be available (or shall cause their appropriate agents or representatives to be available) on a basis mutually convenient to all parties to provide explanations of any documents or information provided hereunder. Each of Sellers and Purchaser shall (and shall cause their appropriate agents and representatives to) retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in their possession relating to Tax matters of the Company for each taxable period first ending after the Closing Date and for all prior taxable periods until the later of (a) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods, or (b) six (6) years following the due date (without extension) for such Tax Returns.

necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.

9.06 Miscellaneous.

(b) Except with respect to a claim as to which notice is timely given on or prior to the termination date (which such claim shall continue until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved), the obligations of Sellers to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and the Company pursuant to this Article IX, and the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.11, shall terminate at the close of business on the 30th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the Tax Liabilities in question (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof).

INDEMNIFICATION

10.01 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and the other Sections of this Article X, the Principals shall, severally and not jointly, proportionately indemnify Purchaser Indemnified Parties according to the percentages set forth on Schedule 10.01, in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to (i) any breach of representation or warranty or (ii) nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Sellers contained in this Agreement, as qualified in each case by the disclosures set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or any schedule to this Agreement. No Purchaser Indemnified Party (other than Purchaser) will be entitled to make or pursue any claim for indemnification hereunder without the express prior written approval of Purchaser.

(b) Subject to the other Sections of this Article X, Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties in respect of, and hold each of them harmless from and against, any and all Losses suffered, incurred or sustained by any of them or to which any of them becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any breach of representation or warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of Purchaser

- 35 -

contained in this Agreement, as qualified in each case by the disclosures set forth in any schedule or disclosure exhibit of Purchaser to this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Principals will not be obligated to indemnify Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 10.01(a) unless and until the amount of all losses incurred by Purchaser or the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties, taken as a group, exceeds in the aggregate $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Principals shall indemnify Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties for the full amount of such losses; provided, however, that the amount of losses the Principals shall be obligated to indemnify Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall not exceed 60% of the Initial Cash Payment.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser will not be obligated to indemnify Sellers or any other Seller Indemnified Parties under Section 10.01(b) unless and until the amount of all losses incurred by Sellers or the other Seller Indemnified Parties, taken as a group, exceeds in the aggregate the Basket, in which event Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers and the Seller Indemnified Parties for the full amount of such losses; provided, however, that the amount of losses Purchaser shall be obligated to indemnify Sellers and the other Seller Indemnified Parties shall not exceed 60% of the Initial Cash Payment.

10.02 Recourse.

(a) With respect to any allowable claim for indemnification that an Indemnified Party may bring against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 10.01 of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to recover against insurance policies applicable to such Losses; provided that the foregoing provision shall in no way entitle the Indemnifying Party to delay the payment of any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Article X. To the extent that the Indemnified Party actually receives insurance proceeds that directly relate to the Losses to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to off-set such insurance proceeds against Losses to be paid to the Indemnified Party, or to the extent the Indemnifying Party has previously indemnified the Indemnified Party for such Losses, the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party such insurance proceeds.

(b) Any Loss recoverable by an Indemnified Party against an Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Article X shall be reduced by any Tax benefit actually received by the Indemnified Party directly relating to the Loss.

10.03 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under Section 10.01 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party might seek indemnity under Section 10.01 is asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than Sellers or any Affiliate of Sellers or of Purchaser (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to provide the Claim Notice with reasonable promptness after the Indemnified Party receives written notice of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party

- 36 -

with respect to such Third Party Claim to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been irreparably prejudiced by such failure of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party will notify the Indemnified Party as soon as practicable within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under Section 10.01 and whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to defend the Indemnified Party against such Third Party Claim.

	(i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.03(a), then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be vigorously and diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party to a final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (but only with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, in the case of any settlement that provides for any relief other than the payment of monetary damages as to which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified in full). The Indemnifying Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party, at any time prior to the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the first sentence of this clause (i), file any motion, answer or other pleadings or take any other action that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes to be necessary or appropriate to protect its interests; and provided further, that if requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnifying Party in contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest. The Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel to represent it in, but not control, any defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim controlled by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this clause (i), and the Indemnified Party will bear its own costs and expenses with respect to such separate counsel, except as provided in the preceding sentence and except that the Indemnifying Party will pay the costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (x) in the Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, it is advisable, based on advice of counsel, for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel because a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party which makes representation of both parties inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) the named parties to such Third Party Claim include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith, based on advice of counsel, that defenses are available to it that are unavailable to the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party may retain or take over the control of the defense or settlement of any Third Party Claim the defense of which the Indemnifying Party has elected to control if the Indemnified Party irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section 10.01 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

	(ii) If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim

- 37 -

	pursuant to Section 10.03(a), then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate proceedings, which proceedings will be prosecuted by the Indemnified Party in good faith or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnified Party will have full control of such defense and proceedings, including (except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence) any settlement thereof; provided, however, that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, provide reasonable cooperation to the Indemnified Party and its counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause (ii), if the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability hereunder to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim and if such dispute is resolved in favor of the Indemnifying Party in the manner provided in clause (iii) below, the Indemnifying Party will not be required to bear the costs and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s defense pursuant to this clause (ii) or of the Indemnifying Party’s participation therein at the Indemnified Party’s request, and the Indemnified Party will reimburse the Indemnifying Party in full for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in connection with such litigation.

	(iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under Section 10.01 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Loss arising from such Third Party Claim will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 10.01 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 10.01 against any Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. The failure by any Indemnified Party to give the Indemnity Notice shall not impair such party’s rights hereunder except to the extent that an Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it has been irreparably prejudiced thereby. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim described in such Indemnity Notice or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period whether the Indemnifying Party disputes the claim described in such Indemnity Notice, the Loss arising from the claim specified in such Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party under Section 10.01 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will

- 38 -

proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution Period, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation in a court of competent jurisdiction.

10.04 Tax Matters. Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Tax matters shall be governed by Article IX and not this Article X.
