SECTION 1 REGISTRANTS BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS
Item 1.01 Entry Into A Material Definitive Agreement In connection with the closing of our acquisition of Sales Strategies, Inc. (d/b/a SSI hubcity), a New Jersey corporation (SSI), on September 5, 2007, as discussed in Item 2.01 below, we
entered into several material agreements. The material agreements include a stock purchase agreement, an unsecured promissory note, a registration rights agreement, and an employment agreement. The descriptions of such agreements contained in Item
2.01 below are incorporated herein by reference. The above description of the above material agreements is not a complete description of all of the terms of such material agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual
agreements, copies of which are included as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
SECTION 2 FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets On September 5, 2007 (the Closing Date), we acquired SSI, a provider of IT and secure data center solutions to mid-tier enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies, pursuant to a Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated August 31, 2007, between Thomas Kunigonis as sole shareholder of SSI and our company (the Purchase Agreement). The initial purchase price was approximately $6.0 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments in the event that working capital as of August 31, 2007 is less than $1.0
million. The price paid at closing included $4.75 million in cash, an unsecured promissory note in the amount of $250,000, and 1,369,863 unregistered shares of our common stock. Of
the $4.75 million paid in cash, $475,000
was placed into escrow to secure certain working capital and indemnification
obligations of SSI, which funds will be released as soon as practical but
within fifteen (15) days after all parties have agreed upon the Closing Statement
according to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, dated as of August 31, 2007,
between our company, Mr. Kunigonis, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. The cash
amounts paid at closing were provided by proceeds from our Term Loan Facility
from Calliope Capital Corporation, the terms of which were previously disclosed
in our current report on Form 8-K, dated August 17, 2007. In
conjunction with the acquisition of SSI, SSI entered into a three (3) year
employment agreement with Mr. Kunigonis, pursuant to which he will serve
as President of SSI. The agreement provides for a base salary of $333,333
per year, as well as other standard benefits and terms regarding termination
and change of control. Mr. Kunigonis also signed a five (5) year non-compete
and non-solicitation covenant. The Purchase Agreement contains an earn-out provision which provides that Mr. Kunigonis can earn up to $3.0 million in additional consideration based on the achievement of EBITDA greater than a
minimum threshold of $1.5 million, in each of the three twelve (12) calendar month periods following the closing date and beginning on October 1, 2007. Annual EBITDA must be $2.0 million or greater to achieve full payout in each measurement
period. The amount is payable two dollars ($2.00) for each one dollar ($1.00) that EBITDA is in excess of $1.5 million up to a maximum amount of $1.0 million in earn-out per measurement period. However, in the event EBITDA does not
exceed $1.5 million in any of one of the individual measurement periods, there shall be no earn-out payable for that particular measurement period. The earn-out is payable 33% in cash and 67% in unregistered shares of common stock of our company
and shall be paid within ninety (90) days after the end of the applicable measurement period. The number of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing two-thirds (2/3) of the total measurement period earn out payment by the per share fair
market value of our common stock. The per share fair market value of our unregistered common stock shall be the average closing price of our common stock, as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on the Principal Market, for the five (5) consecutive trading
days ending on the last day of the applicable measurement period. If EBITDA for any of the individual measurement periods is less than $2.0 million and the aggregate EBITDA for the three measurement periods is greater than $4.5 million, we will re-measure
the earn-out amount payable based upon the three measurement periods aggregate EBITDA amount, less $4.5 million, multiplied by two, less the actual measurement period earn-out payments already paid, subject to the maximum payment of
$3.0 million. Any earn-out payable upon such re-measurement shall be payable 33% in cash and 67% in stock of our company. The number of shares of our common stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing two-thirds (2/3) of the adjusting
earn-out payment by the per share fair market value of our common stock as determined using the average closing price of our common stock, as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on the Principal Market, for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the
last day of the third Measurement Period. If
the aggregate EBITDA over the three measurement periods exceeds six million
dollars ($6,000,000.00), Mr. Kunigonis shall be entitled to receive a bonus earn-out payment equal to fifty percent
(50%) of the amount by which aggregate EBITDA over the three measurement periods exceeds six million dollars ($6,000,000.00) . The bonus earn-out payment- shall be payable 33% in cash and 67% in shares of common stock of our company. The number
of shares of our common stock to be issued shall be determined using the formula described above. In the event the Mr Kunigonis resigns his position without good reason during any easurement eriod, he shall receive a pro rata share of the earn-out payment for the measurement period during which he
resigned and shall forfeit any earn-out payment for any future period. In the event Mr. Kunigonis is terminated for cause, he shall forfeit any earn-out payment for the measurement period in which he was terminated and for any future measurement
period.
Pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of August 31, 2007 between Mr. Kunigonis and our company, Mr Kunigonis was granted registration rights covering the shares of common stock issued to him in the transaction.
Under such agreement, at any time after August 31, 2009, we will be obligated to file a registration statement covering the resale of such shares upon the request of Mr. Kunigonis. Further,
our company issued an unsecured promissory note to Mr. Kunigonis in the amount
of $250,000, dated August 31, 2007. The terms of the note include an
annual interest rate of five and one-quarter percent (5 ¼%)
with twelve equal payments of principal and interest in the amount of $22,653.15
to be paid commencing December 1, 2007. Eleven remaining payments will be due
on the first day of each March, June, September, and December during the period
beginning on January 1, 2008, and ending September 1, 2010. PageMill
Partners LLC acted as our exclusive mergers and acquisitions advisor in the
transaction and, in consideration of its services, we paid a fee of $420,000 in cash. On September 6, 2007 we issued a press release in connection with the transactions set forth in item 2.01 above, a copy of which is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1. The above description of the transaction and material agreements is not a complete description of all of the terms of such material agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual agreements, a copy of
which are included as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") dated as of August 31, 2007, by and between INCENTRA SOLUTIONS, INC., a Nevada corporation
("Purchaser") and THOMAS G. KUNIGONIS, Jr. ("Shareholder"), the sole shareholder of SALES STRATEGIES, INC., a New Jersey
corporation (the "Company").
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Shareholder owns all of the outstanding shares of capital stock (the "Shares") of the Company;
WHEREAS, Shareholder intends to sell and Purchaser intends to purchase the Shares (the Purchase);
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto intending to be legally bound do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE SHARES
SECTION 1.1. Purchase and Sale of the Shares. Upon the
terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Shareholder agrees to sell, convey, assign and transfer, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Shares, free and clear of all encumbrances (as defined in Section 9.3(b) hereof) for the initial
consideration of Four Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,750,000.00) in cash, an unsecured promissory note in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in shares
of Purchaser's unregistered and restricted common stock. Purchaser shall pay Shareholder additional consideration pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.2(d), if, and only if, the conditions of such Section 1.2(d) are satisfied and only to the
extent satisfied. At the Closing (as defined in Section 1.3) Shareholder will transfer to Purchaser the Shares listed after his name in Section 2.3(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, which together will constitute all of the issued and
outstanding Shares of the Company.
SECTION 1.2. Consideration.
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration of the sale, conveyance, assignment and transfer of the Shares to Purchaser at the Closing,
Purchaser agrees to:
Page 8
(1) Pay to Shareholder Four Million Two Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($ 4,275,000.00) by wire transfer of immediately available funds at the Closing;
(2) As of the Closing Date, issue to Shareholder One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in shares of Purchaser's unregistered common stock, with the number of shares to be issued
determined by dividing One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) by the average closing price of Purchaser Common Stock, as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on the Principal Market, for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on and including August
31, 2007; and
(3) As of the Closing Date issue to Shareholder an unsecured promissory note in the amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) and in substantially the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A.
(b) Prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, Shareholder and Purchaser shall enter into an escrow agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") with an escrow agent selected by Purchaser and
reasonably acceptable to Shareholder (the "Escrow Agent") substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. Pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit Four Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($475,000.00) (the "Escrow
Deposit") into an interest bearing escrow account, which account is to be managed by the Escrow Agent (the "Escrow Account"). Any Escrow Deposit, any interest
thereon, and any other property in the Escrow Account are referred to as the "Escrow Fund". The Escrow Fund shall be available to satisfy any NWC Deficit as defined in Section 1.2(c)(iii) below. In connection with such deposit of the Escrow Deposit
with the Escrow Agent and as of the Closing Date, Shareholder will be deemed to have received and deposited with the Escrow Agent his interest in the Escrow Fund without any act of Shareholder. Distributions from the Escrow Account shall be governed
by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and the terms hereof. The adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the transaction contemplated
herein by Shareholder shall constitute approval of the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements relating thereto, including, without limitation, the placement of the Escrow Deposit in escrow.
(c) (i) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, at its own cost, cause to be prepared and delivered to the Shareholder a closing statement (the
"Closing Statement) presenting the Net Working Capital (defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") as current assets minus current liabilities) as of the end of business on the Closing Date ("Closing Net
Working Capital"). Accounts receivable included within Net Working Capital for this purpose shall be valued at face value if the age of the receivable is ninety (90) days or less and at zero (0) if the age of the receivable is ninety (90) days or
more. Shareholder shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Closing Statement to dispute the calculation of Net Working Capital by Purchaser. Purchaser shall
Page 9
cooperate with Shareholder by providing any additional documentation supporting the Closing Statement as soon as practicable following Shareholders request for same. In the event Shareholder and Purchaser are not able to
agree within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the statement by the Shareholder on such calculation, it shall be submitted to a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm for final resolution in accordance with the guidelines as
provided herein.
(iii) In the event Closing Net Working Capital is less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the shortfall shall be referred to herein as the "NWC Deficit".
(iv) Ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Closing Net Working Capital shall be increased by the amount of accounts receivable which were aged over ninety (90) days as of the Closing Date and
collected between the Closing Date and the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date (the "Over 90 Collections"). If after these adjustments, a NWC Deficit exists, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of such NWC Deficit. In the event
Closing Net Working Capital, as adjusted for the Over 90 Collections, exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of such excess, and such excess shall be paid to Shareholder from Incentra
directly, outside of the Escrow Account, as additional consideration. In addition, Purchaser shall transfer over to Shareholder all of the rights, title and interest of Purchaser and the Company to any and all accounts receivable which were aged
over ninety (90) days as of the Closing Date and which have not been collected by the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date. Shareholder shall have the right to take any and all
actions it may deem appropriate to collect such accounts receivable, Shareholder shall be entitled to retain, as additional Purchase Price, the proceeds of such accounts receivable, and Shareholder shall assume all liabilities associated with such
accounts receivable.
(v) As soon as reasonably practicable (which shall in any case be within fifteen (15) days after the parties have agreed upon the Closing Statement, or, in the event the parties can
not come to agreement, after the
Page 10 issuance of a written report as provided for under subparagraph (ii) hereof), the Parties shall execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent joint instructions as contemplated in Section 4 of the Escrow Agreement instructing the Escrow Agent to liquidate the Escrow Fund and deliver to Shareholder all funds in the Escrow account, in the event there is no NWC Deficit or to Purchaser, in the amount of any NWC Deficit not otherwise paid to Purchaser, with any funds then remaining in the Escrow Fund paid over to Shareholder. (d) Subject to the conditions set forth below, Purchaser will pay Shareholder additional consideration to be computed as follows: (i) For each of the first three twelve (12) calendar month periods beginning on the first day of the month after Closing (each, a Measurement Period), in the event Company's EBITDA is in excess of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) for an individual Measurement Period, Purchaser will pay Shareholder additional consideration (a "Measurement Period Earn Out Payment") of Two Dollars ($2.00) for each One Dollar ($1.00) that the EBITDA exceeds One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00) for such Measurement Period, up to a maximum Measurement Period Earn Out Payment of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for any individual Measurement Period. Any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment due shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the end of the Measurement Period for which it is being paid and shall be paid one-third (1/3) in cash and two-thirds (2/3) in unregistered
Purchaser Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 1.2(d)(i), the number of shares of unregistered Purchaser Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing two-thirds (2/3) of the total Measurement Period Earn Out Payment by the per share fair market value of Purchaser's unregistered Common Stock. The per share fair market value of Purchaser's unregistered Common Stock shall be the average closing price of Purchaser Common Stock, as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on the Principal Market, for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the last day of the applicable Measurement Period. (ii) In the event that Company EBITDA for any individual Measurement Period is less than One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000.00), there shall be no Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for that Measurement Period. (iii) In the event Company EBITDA for any individual Measurement Period is less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) and the Companys aggregate EBITDA for the three Measurement Periods is greater than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00), an adjustment to the earn-out consideration will be calculated whereby Purchaser shall pay Shareholder an amount equal to the difference between (i) the actual aggregate EBIDTA over the three Measurement Periods, up to a maximum of Six Million Page 11 Dollars ($6,000,000.00), less Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00), times two and (ii) the actual Measurement Period Earn Out Payments made by Purchaser to Shareholder pursuant to Sections 1.2(d)(i) and 1.2(d)(ii) above (the Adjusting Earn Out Payment). Any payment pursuant to this Section 1.2(d)(iii) shall be made within ninety (90) days of the end of the final Measurement Period and shall be paid one-third (1/3) in cash and two-thirds (2/3) in unregistered Purchaser Common Stock. The number of shares of unregistered Purchaser Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing two-thirds (2/3) of the Adjusting Earn Out Payment by the per share fair market value of Purchaser's unregistered Common Stock. The per share fair market value of Purchaser's unregistered Common Stock shall be the average closing price of Purchaser Common Stock, as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on the Principal Market, for the five (5) consecutive trading days
ending on the last day of the third Measurement Period. (iv) In addition, Purchaser shall pay Shareholder further additional consideration (the "Bonus Earn Out Payment") equal to fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the Companys aggregate EBITDA over the three (3) Measurement Periods exceeds, in the aggregate, Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000.00) . The Bonus Earn Out Payment due shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the end of the final Measurement Period and shall be paid one-third (1/3) in cash and two-thirds (2/3) in unregistered Purchaser Common Stock. The number of shares of unregistered Purchaser Common Stock to be issued shall be determined by dividing two-thirds (2/3) of the Bonus Earn Out Payment by the per share fair market value of Purchaser's unregistered Common Stock. The per share fair market value of Purchaser's unregistered Common Stock shall be the average closing price of Purchaser Common Stock, as reported on Bloomberg L.P. on the
Principal Market, for the five (5) consecutive trading days ending on the last day of the third Measurement Periods. (v) For purposes of this Agreement, EBITDA shall be defined as the net income of the Company, as determined by generally accepted accounting principles, plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and subject to the other restrictions or limitations on allocation of expenses as provided in this Agreement. The parties agree that no headquarters or overhead expenses, expenses related to the grant to Company employees of options to purchase shares of Purchaser Common Stock, or costs of Purchaser or its affiliates or subsidiaries or other charges of or from Purchaser will be allocated or charged to Company for purposes of determining EBITDA under this Agreement, except that direct costs of Purchaser, its affiliates or subsidiaries related to the provision of services resold by the Company shall be allocated to the Company (at agreed upon rates consistent with Purchasers other regions) for purposes of determining EBITDA hereunder.
The parties agree that any outside or indirect costs or expenses not directly associated with the sale of new products or services shall not be permitted to be included as an expense in arriving at this EBITDA computation and that no Page 12
new line items reflecting costs or expenses shall be permitted to be included as an expense in arriving at this EBITDA, unless previously approved by Shareholder or his designated staff at the Company. The parties
further agree that until the conclusion of the three Measurement Periods, no employees of Company may be terminated by Purchaser (other than for violation of Purchasers employment policies and procedures) or reassigned to other duties with
Purchaser or its other affiliates other than Company without Shareholders consent. In the event of a merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company with another entity, the EBITDA calculation, for purposes of this Agreement, shall
be made in a manner that as nearly as is reasonably possible reflects the EBITDA of the Company as it would have been but for such merger, consolidation or combination. Nothing in this Section 1.2(b)(iv) shall, however, be construed to prevent any
such merger, consolidation or combination or the introduction of new goods and/or services to the line of goods and services provided by the Company. An accountant of Shareholders choosing shall be permitted to review and approve the
computation of EBITDA following each of the Measurement Periods in question, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.
(vi) In the event Shareholder resigns his or her employment with the Company without Good Reason (as defined in his employment agreement) during any Measurement Period, he shall receive a percentage
of his pro rata share of the Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for the Measurement Period during which he left equal to the percentage of such Measurement Period he was employed by Company during such Measurement Period, and shall forfeit and not
be entitled to receive any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for any future Measurement Period. In the event Shareholder is terminated by the Company For Cause (as defined in his employment agreement), he shall forfeit and not be entitled to
receive any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment for the Measurement Period in which such termination For Cause occurred or for any future Measurement Period thereafter.
(vii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event (A) Parent or the Company undergoes a Change of Control (as defined below) without the prior written consent of the Shareholder,
(B) Shareholder resigns his employment with the Company with Good Reason (as defined in his Employment Agreement), or (C) Shareholder's employment with the Company is terminated by the Company other than For Cause (as defined in his Employment
Agreement), Parent shall pay the Shareholder the sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), less the amount of any Measurement Period Earn Out Payments already paid to the Shareholder (such difference, the Accelerated Earn Out
Payment). The Accelerated Earn Out Payment shall be payable within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of the Change of Control (unless the prior consent of the Shareholder was obtained), resignation for Good Reason, or termination other
than For Cause, and shall be paid one-third (1/3) in cash and two-thirds (2/3) in unregistered Parent Common Stock, with the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued pursuant to this Subsection 1.2(d)(viii)
Page 13
determined by dividing two-thirds (2/3) of the total Accelerated Earn Out Payment by the Fair Market Value of Parent Common Stock (as defined in Section 1.2(d)(iv)) at the time of the Change of Control, resignation for Good
Reason, or termination other than For Cause. For the purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) a dissolution or liquidation of Parent or Company; (B) a sale or other
disposition of all or substantially all of Parents or Company's assets; (C) a merger or consolidation involving Parent or Company in which stockholders of Parent or Company, respectively, immediately prior to such transaction do not own a
majority of the voting power of Parent or Company or its successor immediately after such transaction; or (D) a sale or other transfer of capital stock of Parent or Company in one or a series of related transactions whereby an individual or
group (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which did not previously have direct or indirect control (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) of Parent or Company acquires such control.
(viii) Shareholder shall have the right to assign his right to all or a portion of any Measurement Period Earn Out Payment, Adjusting Earn Out Payment or Bonus Earn Out Payment to one or more of the employees of the Company,
provided that, and only if, such assignees provide Parent with those representations contained in Section 2.26 below.
(ix) Purchaser shall, within forty-five (45) days of the end of each Measurement Period, provide Shareholder with Purchasers calculation of the EBITDA for that Measurement Period (the EBITDA Report). Shareholder
shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of each EBITDA Report to dispute the calculation of the EBITDA for that Measurement Period by Purchaser. Purchaser shall cooperate with Shareholder by providing any additional documentation supporting the
EBITDA Report as soon as practicable following Shareholders request for same. In the event Shareholder and Purchaser are not able to agree within forty-five (45) days of receipt of the EBITDA Report by the Shareholder on such calculation, it
shall be submitted to a mutually agreed upon independent public accounting firm for final resolution in accordance with the guidelines as provided herein. The independent accounting firm selected by Purchaser and Shareholder will be a firm with
offices in more than one location, and which has no prior relationship with either the Shareholder or the Purchaser and its affiliates. Each party may present financial information to the accounting firm for review within ten (10) days of selection
of the firm provided that all such information is simultaneously provided to the other party. No such firm will be engaged that does not undertake to provide its final determination within thirty (30) days of submission of all materials to be
reviewed. The decision of the selected accounting firm will be presented in a written report to include the basis for all adjustments made to the EBITDA Report. The fees of the accounting firm will be paid one-half by the Purchaser and one-half by
the Shareholder.
Page 14 (e) On or immediately prior to the Closing Date, Shareholder shall cause the Company to pay out to shareholder, as a distribution, such amount of the Companys cash on hand as will not exceed the amount which will leave Net Working Capital of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) in Company. SECTION 1.3 Excluded Assets and Liabilities. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that those assets and liabilities listed on Exhibit C (the "Excluded Assets and Liabilities"), attached hereto and made a part hereof, shall not be transferred at the Closing, that such assets shall be transferred to and retained to Shareholder, and that Shareholder shall be solely responsible for the payment of such liabilities. SECTION 1.4 Closing. Subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Purchase contained in Article VI hereof, the closing of the Purchase (the "Closing") shall take place
at 10:00 a.m., Denver time, on a date specified by the parties (the "Closing Date"), which date shall not be later than the third
business day following satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of the conditions to consummation of the Purchase contained in Article VI (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to
the fulfillment or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waiver of those conditions), unless another time or date is agreed to
by the parties hereto; provided that in all events, the Closing Date shall not be later than July August 31, 2007. The Closing will
be held at the offices of Purchaser, located at 1140 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302 or at such other location as is agreed to by
the parties hereto. ARTICLE II REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY Except as set forth on the Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Company to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement which hereby is incorporated by reference in and constitutes an integral part of this Agreement (the Company Disclosure Schedule), Shareholder hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows:
SECTION 2.1 Organization, Standing and Corporate Power. (a) Each of the Company and its subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation or organization and has the requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as presently being conducted. Except as set forth on Section 2.1(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, each of the Company and its subsidiaries is duly qualified or licensed to conduct business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership, leasing or operation of its properties makes such qualification or licensing necessary, except for those jurisdictions where the failure to be Page 15 so qualified or licensed or to be in good standing individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company. (b) The Company has delivered or made available to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement complete and correct copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company and each of its subsidiaries, each as in effect at the date of this Agreement.

covenants or agreements of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement; and provided further that a failure to comply with this Section 4.2 shall not constitute a failure to be satisfied of any condition set forth in Article VII unless the underlying untruth, inaccuracy, failure to comply

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS
SECTION 5.1 Access to Information; Confidentiality.
(a) The Company and Shareholder shall, and shall cause the Company's subsidiaries to, afford to Purchaser and to the officers,
current employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors, agents, lenders and other representatives of Purchaser, reasonable access during normal business hours during the period prior to the Effective Date to all the Company's properties, books,
contracts, commitments, personnel and records and, during such period, shall furnish promptly to Purchaser (i) a copy of each material report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it with any Governmental Entity, and (ii) all
other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Purchaser may reasonably request; provided, however, that prior to the Closing, the Company and Shareholder shall not be required to divulge any information precluded from being
divulged under the Confidentiality Agreement between the parties dated as of November 10, 2006, 2007, as amended (the "Confidentiality Agreement"). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall Shareholder be
required to disclose personal or personal financial information unless required by applicable law or regulation.
(b) The parties will hold, and will use their best efforts to cause their officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence,
unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, all confidential documents and information concerning the other party and its subsidiaries furnished to it in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a nonconfidential basis by the receiving party, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of the receiving party, or (iii) later
lawfully acquired by the
Page 43
receiving party from other sources; provided that each party may disclose such information to its officers, directors, employees, consultants, advisors and agents in
connection with the Purchase so long as such persons are informed of the confidential nature of such information and are directed to treat such information confidentially. Each parties obligation to hold such information in confidence shall be
satisfied if it exercises the same care with respect to such information as it would exercise to preserve the confidentiality of its own similar information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated,
such confidentiality shall be maintained and all confidential materials shall be destroyed or delivered to their owner, upon request. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not be deemed to supersede,
cancel or otherwise alter the Confidentiality Agreement until the Closing, at which time such Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed superseded by the provisions herein.
SECTION 5.2 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. Except where otherwise provided in this Agreement, each party will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and regulations to consummate the Purchase as soon as practicable after the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof, provided that the foregoing shall not require Shareholder or Purchaser to take any action or agree to any condition that might,
in the reasonable judgment of Shareholder or Purchaser, as the case may be, have a material adverse effect on Company or Purchaser, respectively; and further provided, that any action and
the cost thereof shall be borne by the party hereto on which the burden of compliance is placed in order to permit consummation of the transaction. By way of example and not limitation, if a Governmental Entity must grant a Requisite Regulatory
Approval to a party hereto to permit said party to consummate this transaction, then said party must bear the cost and expense including but not limited to attorneys fees, to attempt to obtain such Requisite Regulatory Approval, and the other
party shall not have to participate in, contribute or otherwise pay any costs in obtaining such Requisite Regulatory Approval.
SECTION 5.3 Fees and Expenses. Except as stated to the contrary herein, all costs, fees and expenses incurred in connection
with the Purchase, this Agreement (including all instruments and agreements prepared and delivered in connection herewith), and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such fees or expenses.

under the Exchange Act) and any broadly distributed internal communications with respect to the Purchase, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public
statement or announcement prior to such consultation, except as either party may determine is required by applicable law or court process
Page 44
(provided prior notice is given to the other party with a copy of any such disclosure). The parties agree that the initial press releases (or joint press release if the parties so determine) to be issued with respect to the
Purchase, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be in the form heretofore agreed to by the parties.
SECTION 5.5 Regulation D. Each party hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Purchaser Common Stock to
be issued hereunder in connection with the Purchase to be issued in accordance with Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. Each party hereto shall cooperate with the other parties hereto with respect to all filings required pursuant to
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and shall not knowingly take any action or fail to act to the extent such action or failure to act would jeopardize the issuance of the shares of Purchaser Common Stock hereunder in accordance with
such Regulation D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder shall not have to expend funds or pay legal fees to undertake the actions indicated in this Section 5.5, and Purchaser acknowledges that it is ultimately responsible to ensure compliance
with Regulation D.
SECTION 5.6 Shareholder Covenant Not to Compete. Without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser's Chief Executive Officer, for a period of five (5) years after the Closing Date, Shareholder (i) will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage,
participate, assist or invest in any Competing Business (as hereinafter defined); (ii) will refrain from directly or indirectly employing, attempting to employ, recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person to leave
employment with the Company or Purchaser; and (iii) will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Company or Purchaser. Shareholder understands that
the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.6 are intended to protect the Purchaser's and Company's interests in their respective Confidential Information
and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. For purposes of this Agreement, the term Competing Business shall mean any
business that provides the same or similar types of services or products as those currently provided by the Company in any geographic area now served or targeted by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder may own up to two percent
(2%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation that is engaged in a Competing Business.
SECTION 5.7 Company Tax Returns. Shareholder shall prepare and file income tax returns on behalf of the Company for the tax year ended December 31, 2006 (the "2006 Return"), and for the period beginning January 1, 2007 and continuing through and including the day
immediately prior to the Closing Date (the "Short Year Return") in a timely manner, and Shareholder shall be responsible for all expenses incurred in such filings, including, but not limited to, any taxes due pursuant to such tax returns. Purchaser
shall cooperate with Shareholder in preparing such tax
Page 45
returns, and shall provide Shareholder and its representatives access to such documents and data, and copies thereof, as Shareholder or its representative shall reasonable request. From
and after the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to account for and report the income or loss of the Company as Purchaser deems appropriate. Purchaser agrees and acknowledges that Purchaser's ownership of the Shares shall terminate the Company's
Subchapter S election.
SECTION 5.8 Transfer of Excluded Assets and Liabilities.
Shareholder and Purchaser agree and covenant that they each shall take such steps as are reasonably necessary to transfer those assets listed as Excluded Assets on Exhibit C hereto to Shareholder before, at or as
soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing. Shareholder agrees and covenants that he shall be solely responsible for the payment of those liabilities listed as Excluded Liabilities on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part
hereof.

Loss" and collectively "Purchaser Losses") incurred by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of: (i) any inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of Shareholder contained in this Agreement, or (ii) any failure by
Shareholder to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement; provided that, except as to claims arising from the failure of Shareholder to file tax returns and pay any

Denali contained in Section 2.27, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to receive indemnification payments under clauses (i) and (ii) above with respect to any Purchaser Loss unless and until the aggregate deductible amount of the
Purchaser Losses exceeds $50,000.00 and then only to the extent of the Purchaser Losses in excess of such aggregate amount; and provided further that in determining the amount of any Purchaser Losses suffered by any Purchaser Indemnified Party which give rise to liability of Shareholder hereunder, there shall have been taken into account (x)
the amount of any tax benefits actually realized by such Purchaser Indemnified Party attributable to such Purchaser Losses or derived therefrom in any period to and including the end of the taxable year following the year in which the Purchaser

aggregate amount of any such indemnification liability exceeds the amount of unpaid principal and interest under the Promissory Note, (ii) then, up to the amount of the cash consideration paid at Closing, in cash payable to Purchaser within fifteen

respect to any Seller Loss under (i) or (ii) above unless and until the aggregate deductible amount of the Seller Losses exceeds $50,000.00 and then only to the extent of such Seller Losses in excess of such aggregate amount; provided, however,
such aggregate deductible amount shall not apply to Purchaser's failure to make payments under Section 1.2(a)(i) and 1.2(d) hereof, under the Note, or under

in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1.2(a)(ii) and 1.2(d) of this Agreement. In determining the amount of any Seller Losses suffered by any Seller Indemnified Party which give rise to liability of Purchaser hereunder, there shall have been

this Agreement, shall all terminate on February 28,2009 and in all events the aggregate of all claims for indemnity by Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall be limited to and not exceed the actual purchase price paid to
Shareholder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Purchasers representations and warranties made herein, Purchasers indemnification obligations for Seller Losses incurred by the Seller Indemnified Parties directly or
indirectly as a result of any inaccuracy of a representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, or any failure by Purchaser to perform or comply with any covenant contained in this Agreement, shall all terminate on February 28,
2009.
(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, and in all events, any claim for indemnification under this Agreement, whether as a Purchaser Loss, Purchaser Losses, Seller Loss
or Seller Losses, shall be strictly limited to direct, actual damages, out-of-pocket costs, out-of-pocket expenses and out-of-pocket deficiencies arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of such breach or claim and shall in no event
include special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to, loss of data or loss of business opportunities, even if one party hereto has been advised by

Page 51
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the existence of this Article VII and of the rights and restrictions set forth herein do not limit any legal remedy for claims based on common law
fraud.
(f) Any claim for the recovery of Seller Losses or Purchaser Losses shall be made by giving notice thereof in accordance with Section 7.2 below and, such notice shall be given prior to February 28,
2009.
(g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and in all events, prior to asserting any claim pursuant to the preceding provisions, the party seeking indemnification shall file, or
cause to be filed, a claim with respect to the liabilities in question under any applicable insurance policies maintained by such party.
SECTION 7.2 Claims and Procedure
(a) Claims. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification, the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the "indemnified
party") shall notify the party or parties from whom indemnification is sought (collectively, the "indemnifying party") of the claim pursuant to Section 7.2 (c) hereunder and, when known, the facts constituting the basis for such claim and the amount or estimate
of the amount of the liability arising from such claim. The indemnified party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the
indemnifying party unless (i) suit shall have been instituted against the indemnified party and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have taken control of such suit as provided in Section 7.2
(b) within 25 days after notification thereof.
(b) Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a third party, the
indemnifying party, at its sole cost and expense, may, upon written notice to the indemnified party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding, the
indemnifying party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party to conduct the defense of such claims or legal proceedings and at the indemnifying party's sole cost and expense shall take all reasonable steps necessary in the
defense or settlement thereof. The indemnifying party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any such claim or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if (a) the indemnifying party admits in writing its liability to hold the indemnified party harmless from and against any losses, damages, expenses and liabilities arising out of such
settlement, (b) concurrently with such settlement the indemnifying party pays into court the full amount of all losses, damages, expenses and liabilities to be paid by the indemnifying party in connection with such settlement and obtains a full
release of any liability of the indemnified party which is not conditioned upon any further payment and (c) such settlement would not otherwise have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party. The indemnified party shall be entitled to
participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own
Page 52
counsel and at its own expense. If the indemnifying party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof, the indemnified party may defend against such claim or
litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party, on such terms as the indemnified party may deem appropriate. The
indemnifying party shall be required to participate in the defense of any action by providing information necessary to permit the indemnified party to defend such action as indicated in (d) below and shall be advised of its status. In any action by
the indemnified party seeking indemnification from the indemnifying party in accordance with the provisions of this Section, if the indemnifying party did not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation, the indemnifying party shall not be
entitled to question the manner in which the indemnified party defended such claim or litigation or the amount or nature of any such settlement.
(c) Notice. In the event of any occurrence which may give rise to a claim by an indemnified party against an indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnified party will give notice thereof to the
indemnifying party within 20 days of the indemnified party becoming aware of events giving rise to the possibility of a right to indemnification and the first opportunity to reduce, remedy or incur the damages or potential damages caused by such
occurrence; provided, however, that failure of the indemnified party to timely give the notice provided in this Section 7.2 (c)
shall not be a defense to the liability of an indemnifying party for such claim, but such indemnifying party may recover from the indemnified party any actual damages arising from the indemnified party's failure to give such timely notice; provided,
further that Purchaser may take preemptive legal action of a pressing nature, with respect to a third party Claim, only after providing notice to the Shareholder in the manner provided for in Section 9.2 hereof.
(d) Access to Information. Regardless of which party shall assume the defense of a claim, each party shall provide to the other parties, upon written request, all information and
documentation in the possession or control of such party and reasonably necessary to support and verify any Purchaser or Seller Losses which give rise to such claim for indemnification and shall provide reasonable access to all books, records and
personnel in such party's possession or control which would have a bearing on such claim.
(e) Tax Audits. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in all events Shareholder shall be permitted to retain legal counsel, accountants, and any and all
professional assistance Shareholder desires, (all at Shareholders sole cost and expense) to defend against any audits involving taxes relating to the time during which Shareholder owned the Company. Purchaser agrees to give Seller notice in
the event Purchaser has received notice of any such tax audit.
SECTION 7.3 Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement (a "Dispute"), shall be settled by binding arbitration. Any such arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by one arbitrator mutually agreeable to Shareholder and Purchaser. In the event that within forty-five (45) days
after submission of any Dispute to arbitration, Shareholder and Purchaser cannot mutually agree on one
Page 53
arbitrator, Shareholder and Purchaser shall each select one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so selected shall select a third arbitrator who will arbitrate the case on his own. The agreed upon arbitrator or the third
arbitrator, as the case may be, shall set a limited time period and establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery while allowing the parties an opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator or third
arbitrator, as the case may be, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the Dispute. The arbitrator or the third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and
shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys' fees and costs, to the same extent as a competent court of law or equity, should the arbitrator or third arbitrator, as the case may be, determine that discovery was sought without
substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement. Such decision shall be written and shall be
supported by written findings of fact and conclusions which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator(s). Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any
such arbitration shall be held in Denver, Colorado, under the rules then in effect of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services. The substantially non-prevailing party shall pay all expenses relating to the arbitration, including without
limitation, the respective expenses of each party, the fees of each arbitrator and applicable administrative fees.

Agreement or in respect of fraud by any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Article VIII, Section 5.1(b), Section 5.3, Section 5.4, Section 9.8 and Section 9.11 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

successively or together at the sole discretion of the holder and may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall occur. The Company agrees that any delay or failure on the part of the Payee in exercising any rights or remedies hereunder will
not operate as a waiver of such rights, and further agrees that any payments and prepayments received hereunder will be applied first to Costs, then to interest and the balance to principal. The Payee shall not by any act, delay, omission or
otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies, and no waiver of any kind shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party or parties waiving such rights or remedies. All payments under this Note shall be made without
counterclaim, offset or defense of any kind.
This Note will be registered on the books of the Company or its agent as to principal and interest. This Note applies to, inures to the benefit of, and binds the successors and assigns of the parties

its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by
law.
2.4 Limitations on Shares to be Included. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2, if the
representative of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, the number of shares of securities that are
entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated as follows: first, among the Other Stockholders that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to
the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements; second, among the Holders, in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of
Registrable Securities which they had requested to be included in such registration; third, to the Company for securities being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may be included in the registration statement and
underwriting shall be allocated among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional Shares which they had requested to be included in such
registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If the Company or any Holder, officer, director or Other Stockholder who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting,
such Person may elect to withdraw such Person's Registrable Securities or Additional Shares therefrom by written notice to the Company and the underwriter and the Initiating Holders. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded shall also
be withdrawn from such registration. No Registrable Securities or Additional Shares excluded from such registration by reason of such underwriters marketing limitation shall be included in such registration. To facilitate the allocation of
shares in accordance with this Section 2.4, the Company or underwriter or underwriters selected as provided above may round the number of Registrable Securities of any Holder which may be included in such registration to the nearest 100 shares.
2.5 Additional Demand Registration. If with respect to the last registration permitted to be exercised by the Holders of Registrable
Securities under Section 2.1, the Holders are unable to register all of their Registrable Securities because of the operation of Section 2.4 hereof, such Holders shall be entitled to require the Company to effect one additional registration to
afford the Holders an opportunity to register all such Registrable Securities. Such additional registration shall again be subject to the provisions of this Section 2. 5
3. Company Registration. 3.1
At any time after August 31, 2009, if the Company shall determine to register
under the Securities Act any of its equity securities or securities convertible
into equity securities either for its own account or the account of a security
holder or holders exercising any demand registration
rights, other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans,
or a registration relating solely to a Commission Rule 145 transaction, or
a registration on Form S-4 or S-8, or the Form SB-2 filed on or about June
29, 2004, (or any successor forms thereto), the Company will:
(a) promptly give to each Holder written notice thereof (which shall include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state securities
laws); and
(b) include in such registration (and, subject to Section 2.1(b)(i), any related qualification under blue sky laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved therein, all the Registrable
Securities specified in a written request or request, made by any Holder within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice from the Company described in clause (a) above, except as set forth in Section 3.3 below. Such written request may
specify all or a part of a Holders Registrable Securities.
3.2 Underwriting. If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering involving an underwriting, the
Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 3.1(a) . The right of any Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3 shall be conditioned upon such Holders participation in such underwriting
and the inclusion of such Holders Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and any officers,
directors or Other Stockholders distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the representative of the underwriter or underwriters selected by the Company; provided that no
Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the
Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.
3.3 Limitations on Shares to be Included.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3, if the representative
of the underwriters of a firm commitment underwriting advises the Company in
writing that marketing factors require a limitation or elimination on the number
of shares to be underwritten, the representative may (subject to the allocation
priority set forth below) limit the number of or eliminate the Registrable Securities
to be included in the registration and underwriting. The Company shall so advise
all holders of securities requesting
6
registration, and the number of shares of securities that
are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated
as follows: first, if such underwritten offering shall have been initiated by
the Company for the sale of securities for its own account, to the Company for
securities being sold for its own account; second, among the Other Stockholders
that offer securities being sold pursuant to the Existing Rights Agreements,
in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional
Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration pursuant
to the Existing Rights Agreements; third, among the Holders, in proportion, as
nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Registrable Securities which
they had requested to be included in such registration; fourth, if such underwritten
offering shall not have been initiated by the Company, to the Company for securities
being sold for its own account; and thereafter, the number of shares that may
be included in the registration statement and underwriting shall be allocated
among all officers or directors or remaining Other Stockholders, in each case
in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Additional
Shares which they had requested to be included in such registration at the time
of filing the registration statement. If any Holder of Registrable Securities
or any officer, director or Other Stockholder disapproves of the terms of any
such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the
Company and the underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities
excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be withdrawn from such
registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration
initiated by it under this Section 3 prior to the effectiveness of such registration
whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. 4. Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration,
qualification or compliance pursuant to Sections 2, 3 or 4 of this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, except that Selling Expenses shall be borne pro rata by each Holder in accordance with the number of shares
sold.
5. Registration Procedures.
5.1 In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will keep each Holder advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof and will, at its expense:
(a) use all reasonable efforts to keep such registration effective for a period of 180 days or until the Holder or Holders have completed the distribution described in the registration statement

therein not misleading or incomplete in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such seller, prepare and furnish to such seller a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as
may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such shares, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the

the first month after the effective date of the Registration Statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. 5.2 It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to this Agreement that the Holders proposing to register Registrable Securities shall furnish to the
Company such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them, and their intended method of distribution of such Registrable Securities as the Company shall reasonably request and as shall be required in connection with the
action to be taken by the Company; provided that no Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than
representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.
5.3 In connection with the preparation and filing of each registration statement under this Agreement, the Company will give the Holders on whose behalf such Registrable Securities are to be

any, and each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions, proceedings or settlements in respect
9
thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or
alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering
circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification
or the like) incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance,
or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act or any rule
or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and relating to action or
inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification
or compliance, and will reimburse each such Holder, each of its officers, directors
and partners, and each Person controlling such Holder, each such underwriter
and each Person who controls any such underwriter, for any legal and any other expenses
reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending or settling
any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that the Company
will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss,
damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement
or omission made in reliance upon and based upon written information furnished
to the Company by such Holder or underwriter and stated to be specifically for
use therein. 6.2 Indemnification by the Holders. Each Holder will, if Registrable Securities held by him are included in the securities as to which such
registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers and each underwriter, if any, of the Company's securities covered by such a registration statement, each person who controls the

for use therein.
6.3 Notices of Claims, Procedures, etc. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the Indemnified Party) shall
give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the Indemnifying Party)
promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to
which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume
the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided
that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such
claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified
Party (whose approval shall not be
10
unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate
in such defense at the Indemnified Party's sole expense, and provided further
that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall
not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 7 unless
such failure is prejudicial to the ability of Indemnifying Party to defend such
claim or action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Indemnified Party shall
have the right to employ its own counsel in any such litigation, proceeding or
other action if (i) the employment of such counsel has been authorized by the
Indemnifying Party, in its sole and absolute discretion, or (ii) the named parties
in any such claims (including any impleaded parties) include any such Indemnified
Party and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been advised
in writing (in suitable detail) by counsel to the Indemnified Party either (A)
that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (B) that there is a conflict of interest by virtue of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Parties having common counsel, in any of
which events, the legal fees and expenses of a single counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to each such claim, defense thereof, or counterclaims thereto shall be borne by Indemnifying Party. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate to the extent reasonably required and furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.
7. Information by Holder. Each Holder of Registrable Securities shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Holder and the
distribution proposed by such Holder as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance referred to in this Agreement; provided that no Holder shall
be required to make any representations or warranties to or agreements (other than a lock-up agreement pursuant to Section 11) with the Company or the underwriters, other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding the Holder, its
Registrable Securities and its intended method of distribution and any other representation required by law.
8. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register securities granted by the Company under this
Agreement may be transferred or assigned by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of any Registrable Securities; provided that the Company is given written notice at or prior to the time of said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of
said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights assumes in writing the obligations of a
Holder under this Agreement to the Company and other Holders in effect at the time of transfer under all effective agreements. 11

the earlier of, as to each Holder, the time at which such Holder (i) has sold all shares of Common Stock to which this agreement applies, or (ii) can sell all shares of Common Stock held by it and to which this agreement applies without restriction
in compliance with Rule 144(k).
10. Exchange
Act Compliance. So long as the Company remains
subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, the Company shall
file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the
Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder,
and will take all actions reasonably necessary to enable holders of Registrable
Securities to sell such securities without registration under the Securities
Act within the limitation of the provisions of (a) Rule 144 under the Securities
Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, (b) Rule 144A under the Securities
Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time,
if applicable or (c) any similar rules or regulations hereunder adopted by the
Commission. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company
will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied
with such requirements. After any sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to
the provisions of Rule 144 or 144A, the Company will, to the extent allowed by
law, cause any restrictive legends to be removed and any transfer restrictions
to be rescinded with respect to such Registrable Securities. In order to permit
a Holder to sell the same, if it so desires, pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated
by the Commission (or any successor to such rule), the Company will comply with
all rules and regulations of the Commission applicable in connection with use
of Rule 144A (or any successor thereto). Prospective transferees of Registrable
Securities that are Qualified Institutional Buyers (as defined in Rule 144A)
that would be purchasing such Registrable Securities in reliance upon Rule 144A
may request from the Company information regarding the business, operations and
assets of the Company. Within five (5) business days of any such request, the
Company shall deliver to any such prospective transferee copies of annual audited
and quarterly unaudited financial statements of the Company and such other information
as may be required to be supplied by the Company for it to comply with Rule
144A.
11. No Conflict of Rights. The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which is inconsistent with
the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement with respect to its securities which grants, or modifies any existing agreement with
respect to its securities to grant, to the holder of its securities equal or higher priority to the rights granted to the Holders under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement.
12. Lockup Agreement. In consideration for the Company agreeing to its obligations hereunder, the Holders of Registrable Securities agree in connection with any
registration of the Companys securities (which includes Registrable Securities of at least $75,000 in value) pursuant to Section 3 hereof that, upon the request of the Company not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for
the purchase of or otherwise dispose of any Registrable Securities (other than those shares included in such registration) without the prior written consent 12 of the Company for such period of time (not
to exceed 180 days) from the effective date of such registration as the Company
may specify.
13. Benefits of Agreement; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, legal representatives and heirs. This Agreement does not create, and shall not be construed as creating, any rights enforceable by any other Person.
14. Complete Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the complete understanding among the parties with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes all existing agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, among them. No alteration or modification of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and signed, on the one hand, by the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding and, on the other, by the Company.

ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Escrow Agreement is dated as of the effective date (the Effective Date) set
forth on schedule 1 attached hereto (Schedule 1) by and among the purchaser identified on Schedule 1 (the
Purchaser), Thomas G. Kunigonis (the Seller), and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as escrow agent hereunder (the Escrow
Agent).
WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Seller have agreed to deposit in escrow certain funds and wish such deposit to be subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
WHEREAS, the purpose of the escrow is to secure certain obligations of Seller related to net working capital as of the closing pursuant to that certain Stock Purchase Agreement by and between
Purchaser and Seller dated as of August 31, 2007 and more specifically described therein;
WHEREAS, the Purchaser and the Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that the Escrow Agent has not reviewed, and is not a party to, the Stock Purchase Agreement; and is not responsible for any of
the duties or responsibilities set forth therein.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Appointment. The Purchaser and Seller hereby appoint the Escrow Agent as their escrow agent for the

3. Investment of Escrow Fund. Except as Purchaser and Seller may from time to time jointly instruct the Escrow Agent in writing (a Joint Instruction), the Escrow Funds shall be invested
in a trust deposit investment vehicle with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the "Fund") until all of the monies in the Escrow Fund have been liquidated or distributed pursuant to the terms hereof. Such Joint Instruction, if any, referred to in the
foregoing sentence shall specify the type and identity of the investments to be purchased and/or sold. The Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of investments through the facilities of its own trading or capital markets
operations or those of any affiliated entity. An agency fee may be assessed in connection with each transaction. The Escrow Agent is authorized to liquidate in accordance with its customary procedures any portion of the Escrow Funds consisting of
investments to provide for payments
1

comparable information at no additional cost, Purchaser and the Seller hereby agree that confirmations of permitted investments are not required to be issued by the Escrow Agent for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered. No statement
need be rendered for the Escrow Account if no activity occurred for such month; (d) Purchaser and the Seller acknowledge and agree that the delivery of the escrowed property is subject to the sale and final settlement of permitted investments.

and no duties shall be implied. The Escrow Agent shall have no liability under and no duty to inquire as to the provisions of any agreement other than this Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Agent may rely upon and shall not be liable for acting or
refraining from acting upon any written notice, instruction or request furnished to it hereunder and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties. The Escrow Agent shall be under no duty to
inquire into or investigate the validity, accuracy or content of any such document. The Escrow Agent shall have no duty to solicit any payments which may be due it or the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or

2
primary cause of any loss to the Purchaser or Seller. The Escrow Agent may execute any of its powers and perform any of its duties hereunder directly or through agents or attorneys (and shall be liable only for the careful
selection of any such agent or attorney) and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled persons to be selected and retained by it. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice or opinion of any such counsel, accountants or other skilled persons. In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any
party hereto which, in its opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in escrow until it shall be
directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Anything in this Escrow Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Escrow Agent be liable
for special, indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited to lost profits), even if the Escrow Agent has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Escrow Agent shall reasonably believe may be incurred by the Escrow Agent in connection with the termination of the Escrow Agreement. Any corporation or association into which the Escrow Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation or association to which all or substantially all the escrow business of the Escrow Agents escrow line of business may be transferred, shall be the Escrow Agent under this Escrow Agreement without further
act.

reasonable compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder, which unless otherwise agreed in writing shall be as described in Schedule 1 attached hereto, and (ii) pay or reimburse the Escrow Agent upon request for all expenses, disbursements
and advances, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, incurred or made by it in connection with the preparation, execution, performance, delivery, modification and termination of this Escrow Agreement.

employees (the indemnitees) from all loss, liability or expense (including the fees and expenses of in house or outside counsel) arising out of or in connection with (i) the
Escrow Agents execution and performance of this Escrow Agreement, except in the case of any indemnitee to the extent that such loss, liability or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such indemnitee, or (ii) its
following any instructions or other directions from the Purchaser or the Seller, except to the extent that its following any such instruction or direction is expressly forbidden by the terms hereof. The parties hereto acknowledge that the foregoing

9. Account Opening Information/TINs.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT
For accounts opened in the US:
To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account.
When an account is opened, we will ask for information that will allow us to identify relevant parties.
For non-US accounts:
To help in the fight against the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities we are required along with all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an
account. When you open an account, we will ask for information that will allow us to identify you.
TINs:
Taxpayer Identification Numbers (TINs). The Purchaser and Seller have provided the Escrow Agent with their respective fully executed Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-8, or W-9 and/or other required
documentation. The Purchaser and the Seller each represent that its correct TIN assigned by the IRS, or any other taxing authority, is set forth in the delivered documents, as well as in the Substitute IRS Form W-9 set forth in the signature page of
this Agreement.
To the extent that any portion of the principal amount of the Escrow Funds represents part or all of the purchase price under the Purchase Agreement, Seller shall provide all information required for
Escrow Agent to perform tax reporting on IRS Form 1099-B on or prior to each distribution to the Seller; which shall include a fully executed W-9, W-8, or any other applicable tax form then required by the IRS. Unless otherwise directed in a joint
written instruction executed by the Seller and Purchaser, Escrow Agent shall report to the IRS and as appropriate withhold and remit taxes to the IRS or to any other taxing authority as required by law based upon the information or documentation so
provided and when schedule and documentation is not properly and timely provided prior to payment of principal to the Seller. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on such information and documentation and shall not be responsible for and shall be
indemnified by Seller for any additional tax, interest or penalty arising from the inaccuracy or late receipt of such information or documentation.
Seller shall provide Escrow Agent on or before the effective date of the Escrow Agreement and at appropriate times thereafter, including prior to any disbursement, a detailed schedule indicating the
allocation of the disbursement amount from the Escrow Funds between
4
(i) principal, (ii) imputed interest to be reported on IRS Form 1099-INT or 1042S or (iii) Original Issue Discount (OID) to be reported on IRS Form 1099-OID along with the relevant payee tax information, documentation,
and proportionate interest thereof.. Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely on such information provided by Seller and shall not be responsible for and shall be indemnified by Seller for any additional tax, interest or penalty arising from the
inaccuracy or late receipt of such information. In addition, all interest or other income earned under the Escrow Agreement shall be allocated to the Purchaser and reported, as and to the extent required by law, by the Escrow Agent to the IRS, or
any other taxing authority, on IRS Form 1099 or 1042S (or other appropriate form) as income earned from the Escrow by the Purchaser whether or not said income has been distributed during such calendar year. Any other tax returns required to be filed
will be prepared and filed by the Seller and/or the Purchaser with the IRS and any other taxing authority as required by law, including but not limited to any applicable reporting or withholding pursuant to the Foreign Investment in Real Property
Tax Act (FIRPTA). Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall have no responsibility for the preparation and/or filing of any tax return or any applicable FIRPTA reporting or withholding with respect to the Escrow
Funds or any income earned by the Escrow Funds. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that any taxes payable from the income earned on the investment of any sums held in the Escrow Funds shall be paid by the Purchaser respectively as required by
law. In the absence of written direction from the Seller and Purchaser, all proceeds of the Escrow Fund shall be retained in the Escrow Fund and reinvested from time to time by the Escrow Agent as provided in this Agreement. Escrow Agent shall
withhold any taxes it is required to withhold, including but not limited to required withholding in the absence of proper tax documentation, and shall remit such taxes to the appropriate authorities.
10. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given and received:
(i) upon delivery if delivered personally or upon confirmed transmittal if by facsimile;
Notwithstanding the above, in the case of communications delivered to the Escrow Agent pursuant to (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10, such communications shall be deemed
to have been given on the date received by the Escrow Agent. In the event that the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine that an emergency exists, the Escrow Agent may use such other means of communication as the Escrow Agent deems
appropriate. Business Day shall mean any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which the Escrow Agent located at the notice address set forth on Schedule 1 is authorized or required by law or executive order to remain
closed.
5
11. Security Procedures. In the event funds transfer instructions are given (other than in writing at the time of execution of this Escrow Agreement, as indicated in
Schedule 1 attached hereto), whether in writing or by telecopier, the Escrow Agent is authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to the person or persons designated on schedule 2 hereto (Schedule 2), and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be the person or persons so
designated. The persons and telephone numbers for call-backs may be changed only in a writing actually received and acknowledged by the Escrow Agent. If the Escrow Agent is unable to contact any of the authorized representatives identified in
Schedule 2, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to seek confirmation of such instructions by telephone call-back to any one or more of your executive officers, (Executive
Officers), which shall include the titles of Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer or Chief Financial Officer, as the Escrow Agent may select. Such Executive
Officer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a fully executed Incumbency Certificate, and the Escrow Agent may rely upon the confirmation of anyone purporting to be any such officer. The Escrow Agent and the beneficiary's bank in any funds
transfer may rely solely upon any account numbers or similar identifying numbers provided by the Purchaser or the Seller to identify (i) the beneficiary, (ii) the beneficiary's bank, or (iii) an intermediary bank. The Escrow Agent may apply any of
the escrowed funds for any payment order it executes using any such identifying number, even when its use may result in a person other than the beneficiary being paid, or the transfer of funds to a bank other than the beneficiary's bank or an
intermediary bank designated. All funds transfer instructions must be executed by the individual(s) listed on Schedule 2 hereto. The parties to this Escrow Agreement acknowledge that these security procedures are commercially reasonable.
12. Miscellaneous. The provisions of this Escrow Agreement may be waived, altered, amended or supplemented, in whole or in part, only by a writing signed by all of
the parties hereto. Neither this Escrow Agreement nor any right or interest hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part by any party, except as provided in Section 6, without the prior
consent of the other parties. This Escrow Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection on the grounds of venue, forum non-conveniens or any similar grounds
and irrevocably consents to service of process by mail or in any other manner permitted by applicable law and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts located in the State of California. The parties further hereby waive any right to a trial by
jury with respect to any lawsuit or judicial proceeding arising or relating to this Escrow Agreement. No party to this Escrow Agreement is liable to any other party for losses due to, or if it is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of
this Escrow Agreement because of, acts of God, fire, floods, strikes, equipment or transmission failure, or other causes reasonably beyond its control. This Escrow Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(b) Termination by the Executive. The Executives employment under this Agreement may be terminated unilaterally by the Executive by written notice to Employer at least thirty (30) days prior to such termination.
3
(c) Termination by Executive For Good Reason. The Executive may, at his option, terminate Executive's employment for Good Reason by giving a notice of termination to Employer in the event that: (i) there is a failure of Employer (or successor employer) to promptly pay Executives salary or additional compensation or benefits hereunder in accordance with this Agreement in any material respect, (ii) Executive is assigned duties substantially inconsistent with his title without Executive's prior written consent, (iii) Executives principal place of employment is assigned to a geographic location not agreed to by Executive, or (iv) any other material violation or breach by Employer of this Agreement. It shall also be considered Good Reason for termination by Executive if, in the event of a Change of Control (as hereinafter defined), any successor employer fails to fully assume Employers obligations under this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, a Change of Control shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events: (A) a dissolution or liquidation of the Employer; (B) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Employers assets; (C) a merger or consolidation involving the Employer in which stockholders of the Employer immediately prior to such transaction do not own a majority of the voting power of the Employer or its successor immediately after such transaction; or (D) a sale or other transfer of capital stock of Employer in one or a series of related transactions whereby an individual or group (as such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) which did not previously have direct or indirect control (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of Employer acquires such control.
(d) Termination by the Employer Without Cause. Subject to the payment of Termination Benefits pursuant to Section 6(e), the Executives employment under this Agreement may be terminated by the Employer without Cause upon written notice to the Executive (a termination Without Cause).
(e) Certain Termination Benefits. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or otherwise required by law, all compensation and benefits payable to the Executive under this Agreement shall terminate on the date of termination of the Executives employment under this Agreement, if and only if such termination is consistent with termination For Cause under Section 6(a), or unilateral termination by the Executive under Section 6(b) above. In the event of termination of the Executives employment with the Employer is for Good Reason pursuant to Section 6(c) or Without Cause pursuant to Section 6(d) above, the Employer shall provide to the Executive the following termination benefits (Termination Benefits):
(i) payment of the Executives Salary at the rate then in effect pursuant to Section 4(a) for the period from the date of termination until the date on which the term of this Agreement expires as indicated in paragraph 3 hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the payment to Executive hereunder constitute less than twelve (12) months of
4
Executives then current Salary, regardless of the remaining term of this Agreement; and
(ii) continuation of group health plan benefits to the extent authorized by and consistent with 29 U.S.C. § 1161 et seq. (commonly known as COBRA), with the cost of the regular premium for such benefits shared in the same relative proportion by the Employer and the Executive as in effect on the date of termination for twelve (12) months and at a cost of 102% of premium provided under COBRA, for up to an additional six (6) months.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6(e) shall be construed to affect the Executives right to receive COBRA continuation entirely at the Executives own cost to the extent that the Executive may continue to be entitled to COBRA continuation after the Executives right to cost sharing under Section 6(d)(ii) ceases.
(f) Disability. If the Executive shall be disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executives then existing position or positions under this Agreement with reasonable accommodation, the Employer may remove the Executive from any responsibilities and/or reassign the Executive to another position with the Employer during the period of such disability. Notwithstanding any such removal or reassignment, the Executive shall continue to receive all payments and benefits contemplated under this Agreement the same as if the Executive employment with Employer was terminated Without Cause (in which case Executive would receive all Termination Benefits, less any disability pay or sick pay benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under the Employers policies). If any question shall arise as to whether during any period the Executive is disabled so as to be unable to perform the essential functions of the Executives then existing position or positions with reasonable accommodation, the Executive may, and at the request of the Employer shall, submit to the Employer a certification in reasonable detail by a physician selected by the Employer to whom the Executive or the Executives guardian has no reasonable objection as to whether the Executive is so disabled or how long such disability is expected to continue, and such certification shall for the purposes of this Agreement be conclusive of the issue. The Executive shall cooperate with any reasonable request of the physician in connection with such certification. If such question shall arise and the Executive shall fail to submit such certification, the Employers determination of such issue shall be binding on the Executive. Nothing in this Section 6(f) shall be construed to waive the Executives rights, if any, under existing law including, without limitation, the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et seq. and the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et seq.

7. Confidential Information, Noncompetition and Cooperation.
(a) Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, Confidential Information means information belonging to the Employer which is of value to the Employer in the course of conducting its business and the disclosure of which could result in a competitive or other disadvantage to the Employer. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, financial information, reports, and forecasts; inventions, improvements and other intellectual property; trade secrets; know-how; designs, processes or formulae; software; market or sales information or plans; customer lists; and business plans, prospects and opportunities (such as possible acquisitions or dispositions of businesses or facilities) which have been discussed or considered by the management of the Employer. Confidential Information includes information developed by the Executive in the course of the Executives employment by the Employer, as well as other information to which the Executive may have access in connection with the Executives employment. Confidential Information also includes the confidential information of others with which the Employer has a business relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information does not include information in the public domain, unless due to breach of the Executives duties under Section 7(b).
(b) Confidentiality. The Executive understands and agrees that the Executives employment creates a relationship of confidence and trust between the Executive and the Employer with respect to all Confidential Information. At all times, both during the Executives employment with the Employer and after its termination, the Executive will keep in confidence and trust all such Confidential Information, and will not use or disclose any such Confidential Information without the written consent of the Employer, except as may be necessary in the ordinary course of performing the Executives duties to the Employer.
(c) Documents, Records, etc. All documents, records, data, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to Confidential Information, which are furnished to the Executive by the Employer or are produced by the Executive in connection with the Executives employment will be and remain the sole property of the Employer. The Executive will return to the Employer all such materials and property as and when requested by the Employer. In any event, the Executive will return all such materials and property immediately upon termination of the Executives employment for any reason. The Executive will not retain with the Executive any such material or property or any copies thereof after such termination.
(d) Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation. Without the prior written consent of Employer, during the period that Executive is employed by Employer and for five (5) years thereafter, the Executive (i) will not, directly or indirectly, whether as owner, partner, shareholder, consultant, agent, employee, co-venturer or otherwise, engage, participate, assist or invest in any Competing Business (as
6
hereinafter defined); (ii) will refrain from directly or indirectly employing, attempting to employ, recruiting or otherwise soliciting, inducing or influencing any person to leave employment with the Employer; and (iii) will refrain from soliciting or encouraging any customer or supplier to terminate or otherwise modify adversely its business relationship with the Employer. The Executive understands that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7(d) are intended to protect the Employers interest in its Confidential Information and established employee, customer and supplier relationships and goodwill, and agrees that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose. The Executives obligation to keep the Confidential Information confidential expires at the same time as indicated in the first sentence of this subparagraph (d). For purposes of this Agreement, the term Competing Business shall mean any business that provides or intends to provide the same or similar types of services or products as those provided by Employer, its parent company, or any of such parent company's subsidiaries during Executive's employment with the Company in any geographic area then served by Employer, Employer's parent company, or any of such parent company's subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive may own up to two percent (2%) of the outstanding stock of a publicly held corporation.
(e) Third-Party Agreements and Rights. The Executive hereby confirms that the Executive is not bound by the terms of any agreement with any previous employer or other party which restricts in any way the Executives use or disclosure of information or the Executives engagement in any business. The Executive represents to the Employer that the Executives execution of this Agreement, the Executives employment with the Employer and the performance of the Executives proposed duties for the Employer will not violate any obligations the Executive may have to any such previous employer or other party. In the Executives work for the Employer, the Executive will not disclose or make use of any information in violation of any agreements with or rights of any such previous employer or other party, and the Executive will not bring to the premises of the Employer any copies or other tangible embodiments of non-public information belonging to or obtained from any such previous employment or other party.
(f) Litigation and Regulatory Cooperation. During and after the Executives employment, the Executive shall cooperate fully with the Employer in the defense or prosecution of any claims or actions now in existence or which may be brought in the future against or on behalf of the Employer which relate to events or occurrences that transpired while the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Executives full cooperation in connection with such claims or actions shall include, but not be limited to, being available to meet with counsel to prepare for discovery or trial and to act as a witness on behalf of the Employer at mutually convenient times. During and after the Executives employment, the Executive also shall cooperate fully with the Employer in connection with any investigation or review of any federal, state or local regulatory authority as any such investigation or review relates to events or occurrences that transpired while
7
the Executive was employed by the Employer. The Employer shall reimburse the Executive for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Executives performance of obligations pursuant to this Section 7(f) and shall pay the Executive for his time at his annual salary rate in effect at the time of the termination of his employment.
(g) Injunction. The Executive agrees that it would be difficult to measure any damages caused to the Employer which might result from any breach by the Executive of the promises set forth in this Section 7, and that in any event money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, subject to Section 8 of this Agreement, the Executive agrees that if the Executive breaches, or proposes to breach, any portion of this Agreement, the Employer shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual monetary yet sustained by Employer.
8. Arbitration of Disputes. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the breach thereof or otherwise arising out of the Executives employment or the termination of that employment (including, without limitation, any claims of unlawful employment discrimination whether based on age or otherwise) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be settled by arbitration in any forum and form agreed upon by the parties or, in the absence of such an agreement, under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in Denver, Colorado, in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the AAA, including, but not limited to, the rules and procedures applicable to the selection of arbitrators. In the event that any person or entity other than the Executive or the Employer may be a party with regard to any such controversy or claim, such controversy or claim shall be submitted to arbitration subject to such other person or entitys agreement. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8 shall not preclude either party from pursuing a court action for the sole purpose of obtaining a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction in circumstances in which such relief is appropriate; provided, that any other relief shall be pursued through an arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.
9. Consent to Jurisdiction. To the extent that any court action is permitted consistent with or to enforce Section 8 of this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Colorado. Accordingly, with respect to any such court action, the Executive and Employer both (a) submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts; (b) consent to service of process; and (c) waive any other requirement (whether imposed by statute, rule of court, or otherwise) with respect to personal jurisdiction or service of process.
10. Integration. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties with respect to any related subject matter.
8
11. Assignment; Successors and Assigns, etc. Neither the Employer nor the Executive may make any assignment of this Agreement or any interest herein, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, that the Employer may assign its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the Executive in the event that the Employer shall effect a reorganization, consolidate with or merge into any other corporation, partnership, organization or other entity, or transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other corporation, partnership, organization or other entity. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Employer and the Executive, their respective successors, executors, administrators, heirs and permitted assigns.
12. Enforceability. If any portion or provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, any portion or provision of any section of this Agreement) shall to any extent be declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so declared illegal or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each portion and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13. Waiver. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of any party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement, or the waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.
14. Notices. Any notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for by this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and delivered in person or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to the Executive at the last address the Executive has filed in writing with the Employer or, in the case of the Employer, at 1140 Pearl Street, Boulder, CO 80302, ATTN: Thomas P. Sweeney III, and shall be effective on the date of delivery in person or by courier or three (3) days after the date mailed.
15. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by the Executive and by a duly authorized representative of the Employer.
16. Governing Law. This is an Illinois contract and shall be construed under and be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Colorado, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles of such State.
17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same document.

INCENTRA SOLUTIONS EXPANDS U.S. MARKET PRESENCE TO EAST COAST WITH
ACQUISITION OF NEW JERSEY-BASED SSI
Creates Nationwide Footprint as Complete Solutions Provider, Positions Company for Further Growth
Boulder, CO, September 6, 2007 Incentra Solutions, Inc. (OTCBB: ICNS), a provider of complete IT and storage management solutions to enterprises and managed service providers in North America and Europe, today announced that it has acquired Meutchen, NJ-based Sales Strategies, Inc., doing business as SSI hubCity (www.ssihubcity.com), for approximately $6 million, subject to certain post-closing working capital adjustments. The price paid at closing included $4.75 million in cash, 1.37 million restricted shares of Incentra common stock and the issuance of an unsecured, three-year note for $250,000. If certain performance thresholds are met in each of the three years following closing, the seller is eligible to receive additional consideration consisting of a combination of cash and restricted shares of Incentra common stock.
Privately-held SSI is a premier provider of data lifecycle management, information security, software infrastructure development and managed services solutions to mid-tier enterprises and Fortune 1000 companies in financial services, insurance, media, government and life sciences. SSI, which had sales of approximately $40 million for the 12 months ended June 30, 2007, will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Incentra Solutions and continue to operate from its offices in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Colorado.
With the addition of SSI, Incentra is well positioned to enter 2008 with an annual revenue run rate of more than $240 million. The acquisition will add a staff of approximately 20 professionals and more than 250 customers to Incentras existing operations. SSI president Tom Kuni will continue to lead the business and report directly to Incentra Solutions President and Chief Operating Officer Shawn OGrady.
Incentra Solutions Chairman and CEO Thomas P. Sweeney said that a key element of the Companys growth strategy has always been to build a nationwide sales and support organization with locations in key geographic markets in the U.S. The acquisition of SSI gives us a strong presence on the East Coast extending our reach into the major IT markets of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and strengthening our operations in Colorado.
The addition of SSI in New Jersey and our recent acquisition of Helio Solutions in Northern California to our existing operations in the Northwest, West and Midwest establish Incentra as a strong nationwide provider of complete IT solutions, which we believe will continue
to accelerate our rate of growth, Sweeney added. And with our ability to support customers purchasing and deployment needs in Western Europe, we are one of only a handful of complete solutions providers able to support customer needs on both sides of the Atlantic. Our results over the last several quarters have proven that acquiring systems integrators with existing direct sales organizations serving the enterprise market drive sales of our higher margin services offerings, and we are confident that the acquisition of SSI will continue that trend.
Sweeney said that SSI has experienced management, a seasoned professional staff and a large base of well established customers. With its geographic coverage and track record to date, SSI clearly meets our strategic goal of acquiring businesses capable of providing significant opportunities to increase sales of our value added services including First Call and Enhanced First Call support services, professional services and our GridWorks remote monitoring and management system.
Tom Kuni said, This is an exciting time for all of us at SSI. Becoming part of Incentra Solutions creates attractive career opportunities for our professional staff and adds critically important service offerings to our product line to help solve our customers growing data management requirements. I am convinced that this business combination not only positions us to provide an expanded suite of best-of-breed solutions to our current customer base, but opens up significant opportunities to provide a full range of IT products and services to a large base of new customers.
Pagemill Partners, headquartered in Palo Alto, CA, advised Incentra Solutions regarding the acquisition.
