ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Asset Purchase Agreement is entered into as of October 15,
2007 by
and among BEACON ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS GROUP, INC., an Indiana
corporation (the
"Buyer"), ADVANCE DATA SYSTEMS INC. d/b/a ADSnetcurve, a
Kentucky corporation
(the "Seller"), and the shareholders of Seller (each a
"Shareholder" and
collectively, the "Shareholders").
This Agreement contemplates a transaction in which the Buyer
will purchase
substantially all of the assets and assume certain of the
liabilities of the
Seller.
Contemporaneously with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement,
certain employees of the Seller have entered into employment
agreements with the
Buyer, to become effective upon the Closing (the "Employment
Agreements").
Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings
ascribed
to them in Article IX.
In consideration of the representations, warranties and
covenants herein
contained, the Parties agree as follows.
ARTICLE I
THE ASSET PURCHASE
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets.
(a) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement,
the Buyer shall purchase from the Seller, and the Seller shall
sell, transfer,
convey, assign and deliver to the Buyer, at the Closing, for the
consideration
specified below in this Article I, all right, title and interest
in, to and
under the Acquired Assets.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(a), the
Acquired
Assets shall not include the Excluded Assets.
1.2 Assumption of Liabilities.
(a) Upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement,
the Buyer shall assume and become responsible for, from and
after the Closing,
the Assumed Liabilities.
(b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.2(a) or any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Buyer shall not
assume or
become responsible for, and the Seller shall remain liable for,
the Retained
Liabilities.
1.3 Purchase Price. The aggregate Purchase Price to be paid by
the Buyer
for the Acquired Assets will equal One Million Six Hundred
Thousand Dollars
($1,600,000) (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase Price will be
divided as
follows: (a) $600,000.00, subject to the purchase price
adjustment set forth in
Section 1.4 (the "Cash Consideration"), (b) 700,000 shares
<PAGE>
(the "Shares") of Buyer Common Stock issued pro-rata to the
Shareholders
pursuant to Seller's instructions, and (c) the Secured
Promissory Note.
1.4 Purchase Price Adjustment. Prior to the Closing, Seller
shall deliver
to Buyer the Net Working Capital Balance Certificate. To the
extent the Net
Working Capital Balance Certificate shows that there exists any
Excess Net
Working Capital, such Excess Net Working Capital shall be paid
by Buyer into the
Escrow Account (up to and including the amount of $200,000 with
any remaining
additional balance, if any, to be paid into the Escrow Account
as accounts
receivable are realized). Within twenty (20) days after the
Closing, Buyer shall
present to Seller proposed adjustments, if any, to the Closing
Net Working
Capital reflected on the Net Working Capital Balance
Certificate. Buyer and
Seller shall have ten (10) days to resolve any disagreements
over such proposed
adjustments. If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree on such
adjustments, Buyer
and Seller shall jointly select an independent certified public
accountant (the
"Independent Accountant") who will promptly review this
Agreement and the
disputed items or amounts for the purpose of calculating the
final Closing Net
Working Capital. In making such calculation, the Independent
Accountant shall
consider only those items or amounts on the Net Working Capital
Balance
Certificate that have been adjusted by Buyer. Such Independent
Accountant shall,
as promptly as practicable but in any event within ten (10)
days, deliver to
Buyer and Seller a report setting forth such calculation. Such
report shall be
final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The cost of such review
and report
shall be borne by Buyer and Seller equally, and the Seller shall
not distribute
any portion of the Cash Consideration until a final
determination of the Closing
Net Working Capital has been made and agreed upon by the Buyer
and the Seller.
To the extent the final Closing Net Working Capital (after
adjustments) exceeds
$105,000.00, the amount of any such excess, including any
amounts held in the
Escrow Account and any interest thereon, shall be added to the
Cash
Consideration and paid by Buyer to Seller within five (5) days
of the
determination of the final Closing Net Working Capital (after
adjustments
whether by agreement of the parties or by the Independent
Accountant). To the
extent the final Closing Net Working Capital (after adjustments)
is below
$105,000.00, the Seller shall remit to the Buyer the amount of
the Net Working
Capital Difference from the Cash Consideration.
1.5 The Closing.
(a) The Closing shall take place at the offices of Frost Brown
Todd
LLC in Louisville, Kentucky commencing at 9:00 a.m. local time
on the Closing
Date, or at such other place as the parties may mutually agree.
All transactions
at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously, and
no transaction
shall be deemed to have been completed and no documents or
certificates shall be
deemed to have been delivered until all other transactions are
completed and all
other documents and certificates are delivered.
(b) At the Closing:
(i) the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer the various
certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section
5.1;
(ii) the Buyer shall deliver to the Seller the various
certificates, instruments and documents referred to in Section
5.2;

the Acquired Assets;

instrument of assumption in substantially the form attached
hereto as Exhibit D
and such other instruments as the Seller may reasonably request

transfer, bank draft, or other delivery of immediately available
U.S. funds to
an account designated by the Seller, the Cash Consideration;

(x) the Seller shall deliver to the Buyer, or otherwise put
the Buyer in possession and control of, all of the Acquired
Assets of a tangible
nature; and
(xi) the Buyer and the Seller shall execute and deliver to
each other a cross-receipt evidencing the transactions referred
to above.
1.6 Allocation. The Buyer and the Seller agree to allocate the
Purchase
Price (and all other capitalizable costs) among the Acquired
Assets and the
non-solicitation and non-competition covenants set forth in
Sections 6.2 and 6.3
for all purposes (including financial accounting and tax
purposes) in accordance
with the allocation schedule attached hereto as Schedule 1.6.
Seller and Buyer
agree to use the allocations determined pursuant to this Section
1.6 for all tax
purposes, including without limitation, those matters subject to
Section 1060 of
the Code, and the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder.
Buyer and Seller
shall prepare and submit to the other for review their IRS Forms
8594 within
ninety (90) days after Closing. Each party shall have thirty
(30) days to
complete its review.
1.7 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after
the
Closing, at the request of the Buyer and without further
consideration, the
Seller shall execute and deliver such other instruments of sale,
transfer,
conveyance and assignment and take such actions as the Buyer may
reasonably
request to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to the
Buyer, and

to confirm the Buyer's rights to, title in and ownership of, the
Acquired Assets
and to place the Buyer in actual possession and operating
control thereof.

Tax
Returns that it is and was required to file, and, to Seller's
Knowledge, all
such material Tax Returns were true, correct and complete in all
material
respects. The Seller has properly paid on a timely basis all
material Taxes that

of
the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date do not materially exceed the
accruals and
reserves for Taxes (excluding accruals and reserves for deferred

on the Most Recent Balance Sheet. All Taxes attributable to the
period from and
after the Most Recent Balance Sheet Date and continuing through

(c) No examination or audit of any Tax Return of the Seller by
any
Governmental Entity is currently in progress or, to the
Knowledge of the Seller,
threatened or contemplated. Section 2.9(c) of the Disclosure
Schedules sets
forth each jurisdiction (other than United States federal) in
which the Seller
files, or is required to file or has been required to file a
material Tax
Return. The Seller has not been informed by any jurisdiction
that the
jurisdiction believes that the Seller was required to file any
Tax Return that
was not filed.
(d) The Seller is, and has been since its inception, treated as

"corporation" for federal income tax purposes and has been
treated in a similar

assessment,
notices of proposed deficiencies, deficiency notices, protests,
petitions,
closing agreements, settlement agreements, pending ruling
requests and any
similar documents submitted by, received by or agreed to by or
on behalf of the
Seller relating to Taxes for all Taxable periods for which the
applicable
statute of limitations has not yet expired.

with
respect to Taxes or agreed to extend the period for assessment
or collection of
any Taxes, (ii) requested any extension of time within which to
file any Tax
Return, which Tax Return has not yet been filed, or (iii)
executed or filed any
power of attorney relating to Taxes with any Governmental
Entity.
(g) The Seller is not a party to any ongoing litigation
regarding
Taxes.
(h) There are no Security Interests with respect to Taxes upon
any
of the Acquired Assets, other than with respect to Taxes not yet
due and
payable. To the Seller's
-6-
<PAGE>
Knowledge, there is no basis for the assertion of any claim
relating or
attributable to Taxes, which, if adversely determined, would
result in any
Security Interest on the Acquired Assets, or would reasonably be
expected to
have, individually or in the aggregate, a Seller Material
Adverse Effect.
(i) None of the Acquired Assets (i) is property that is required

party,
is in breach or violation of, or default under, any such Lease,

giving of notice, with lapse of time, or otherwise, would
constitute a material
breach or default by the Seller or any other party under such

relating to an improper use or disclosure of, or a breach in the
security of,
