Agreement, subject to closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement described in

may be, shall each execute the Non-Competition Agreements attached hereto as

Exhibit 1 [Tony Grundler]; Exhibit 2 [Eric M. Siegel] and Exhibit 3 [David J.

Heil].

 

4.       Subject to closing under the Asset Purchase Agreement described in the

recitals, Parent and Purchaser agree that the persons named below shall

5.       Under the Earn Out Plan, the participants, as a group, may earn up to

$400,000.00, payable in shares of restricted common stock of the Parent (the

"Earn Out Payment").   The Earn Out Payment shall be made, if at all, within

two years of the closing Asset Purchase Agreement and upon the achievement of

certain post-closing revenue and net income before tax milestones.   All

parties understand and agree that both revenue and net income before tax

targets must be met to earn any portion of the Earn Out Payment.

 

6.       If the Purchaser reports revenue greater than $3,000,000 and net

income before taxes greater than $100,000 at any point during any consecutive

of the Earn Out Payment shall be earned and delivered to the persons in the

proportions stated.

 

      If the Purchaser reports revenue greater than $3,500,000 and net income

before taxes greater than $175,000 at any point during any consecutive 12

months following the Closing, but still within 2 years of Closing, then 50% of

the Earn Out Payment shall be earned and delivered to the persons in the

proportions stated.

 

      If the Purchaser reports revenue greater than $4,000,000 and net income

months following the Closing, but still within 2 years of Closing, then 75% of

the Earn Out Payment shall be earned and delivered to the persons in the

proportions stated.

 

      If the Purchaser reports revenue greater than $5,000,000 and net income

before taxes greater than $350,000 at any point during any consecutive 12

months following the Closing, but still within 2 years of Closing, then 100%

of the Earn Out Payment shall be earned and delivered to the persons in the

proportions stated.

 

      There shall be no obligation for the Earn Out Payment unless and until

Purchaser meets the revenue and net income before taxes targets set forth

8.       Revenue and net income before taxes shall be calculated in accordance

with generally accepted accounting principles applied upon a consistent basis

and the final accounting information relied upon in preparing the audited

financial statements of Parent and Purchaser shall be determinative for the

purposes of this Agreement.   In the event, Purchaser expands the marketing

plan or budget for Purchaser during the term of this Agreement, then Tony

Grundler and Parent will mutually agree on the revised operating budget for

Purchaser.   If a decision is made to front end load marketing expenses, these

expenses will be allocated over a 2 to 4 year period depending upon the load

amount, rather than expensed in a single accounting period.   The purpose of

the preceding sentence being to equitably adjust, to the extent possible, the

targets for revenue and net income before taxes caused by a change in the

marketing budget.

 

9.       The table set forth below summarizes agreement and understanding by

and among Parent, Purchaser, Seller, Managing Member and Members concerning

B.       The Managing Member is the primary officer and director, and the

C.       The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the

Agreement, and the parties are entering into this Agreement in order to

fulfill such condition.  

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and

agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the

receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties,

intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

 

1.        Period of Agreement.

 

The period of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and remain in

effect through February 24, 2009 (the "Non-Compete Period").

 

2.       Compensation.

 

Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has paid or

become obligated to pay the amounts stated in the Asset Purchase Agreement.

 

The parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing compensation paid or to

be paid to the Managing Member is independent of the damages that the

Purchaser may suffer in the event of any breach of this Agreement by the

Managing Member and is not intended (and shall not be deemed or construed) to

limit the amount of damages the Purchaser shall suffer or be entitled to

recover in the event of any such breach.

 

3.      Covenant Not to Compete.  

 

The Managing Member covenants and agrees that during the Non-Compete Period,

the Managing Member shall not , without the prior written consent of the

Purchaser, directly or indirectly, and whether as a principal or as an agent,

officer, director, employee, consultant, or otherwise, alone or in association

with any other person, carry on, be engaged, concerned, or take part in,

render services to, otherwise assist in any manner (with or without any form

of compensation), or own, share in the earnings of, or invest in the stock,

bonds, or other securities of, any person which is engaged in a business

governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof by virtue of any

It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing covenant

by the Managing Member not to enter into competition with the Business or a

similar business of the Purchaser is an essential element of this Agreement

agreed to enter into this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement.   The

Managing Member has independently consulted with the Managing Member's counsel

and has been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and

propriety of such covenant, with specific regard to the Business and the

nature of the business conducted by the Purchaser and its affiliates.   The

Managing Member agrees that such covenant is reasonable in scope, geographic

area, and duration, and that compliance with such covenant would not impose

economic or professional hardship on the Managing Member.

during the Non-Compete Period, neither the Seller nor the Managing Member

entity, directly or indirectly, engage in any of the following activities

without the express prior written consent of the Purchaser:

 

(a)      Solicit or hire any of the employees of the Purchaser or solicit or

take away any of the Purchaser's customers, lessors, or suppliers or attempt

any of the foregoing;

 

(b)      Acquire or attempt to acquire rights providing any product or service

in a Competitive Business within the territory described in Section 3 hereof;

or

 

(c)      Solicit or accept orders for services competitive to those previously

provided or sold by the Seller in the Business from any then or previous

customer of the Seller or the Business or otherwise induce or attempt to

induce any such customer to reduce such customer's patronage of the business

with the Purchaser or otherwise engage in any act which would interfere with

or harm any business relationship the Purchaser has with any customer, lessor,

employee, principal, or supplier.  

 

5.      Specific Performance.

Member agrees that the Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any

other rights it may have (including, without limitation,) to obtain in any

court of competent jurisdiction specific performance of such Sections of this

Agreement or injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach

thereof.   Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Purchaser from
