"Company Revenue" means, for any period, the sum of (i) the Companies' consolidated gross revenue for such period other than revenue from New Acquisition Capital Assets, plus (ii) such portion of the Companies' consolidated gross revenue for such period from New Acquisition Capital Assets as is mutually determined by Buyer and the Companies' management on a case-by-case basis taking into account the particular circumstances and nature of each acquisition, all as reasonably determined by the Buyer's independent accountants in accordance with GAAP consistently applied to all relevant periods; provided that in no event will Company Revenue include any amounts constituting or representing inter-company accounts between the Companies.

-3-

"Adjusted EBITDA" means, for any period, Company EBITDA for such period, reduced by an amount equal to all incentive management payments made with respect to such period pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Employment Agreements (it being understood that since incentive management payments will be made only for 2008 and 2009, Adjusted EBITDA for 2007 will equal Company EBITDA for that year).

"Company EBITDA" means, for any period, the sum of (i) the Companies' consolidated EBITDA (as defined below) for such period other than EBITDA from New Acquisition Capital Assets, plus (ii) such portion of the Companies' consolidated EBITDA for such period from New Acquisition Capital Assets as is mutually determined by Buyer and the Companies' management on a case-by-case basis taking into account the particular circumstances and nature of each acquisition, all as reasonably determined by the Buyer's independent accountants in accordance with GAAP consistently applied to all relevant periods; provided that in no event will Company EBITDA include any amounts constituting or representing inter-company accounts between the Companies or between either Company and Buyer or any of its Affiliates.

"EBITDA" means, with respect to each Company for any period, the Net Income (as defined below) of such Company for such period, adjusted (i) to add thereto (to the extent deducted from revenues in determining Net Income), without duplication, the sum of: (1) income tax expense for such period; (2) depreciation and amortization expense for such period; and (3) all other non-cash charges required to be reflected as expenses on the Company's books and records for such period; and (ii) to subtract therefrom the amount of all cash payments made by the Company during such period to the extent such payments related to non-cash charges that were added back in determining EBITDA for such period or any prior period, all as reasonably determined by the Buyer's independent accountants in accordance with GAAP consistently applied to all relevant periods.

"Net Income" means, with respect to each Company for any period, the net income (or loss) of the Company for such period, adjusted to exclude (only to the extent included in computing such net income (or loss) and without duplication) all gains and losses, together with any related provision for taxes on such gains or losses, for such period that are either extraordinary (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or are nonrecurring (including any gain or loss from the sale or other disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business or from the issuance or sale of any capital stock), all as reasonably determined by the Buyer's independent accountants in accordance with GAAP consistently applied to all relevant periods.

1.3

Closing.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the closing of the purchase and sale provided for in this Agreement (the "Closing") shall be held as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, to be effective as of the Closing Date, at the offices of Farella Braun + Martel LLP, 235 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, or at such other time and/or place as may be fixed by mutual agreement of the parties.  At the Closing, (i) Sellers will deliver to Buyer stock certificates for all of the Company Shares, duly endorsed for transfer to Buyer; (ii) Buyer will deliver (A) the Initial Clarity Purchase Price, less the Clarity Holdback Amount, to Karner, (B) the Initial ETEC Purchase Price, less the ETEC Holdback Amount, to Sellers, and (C) the Holdback Amount to the Secretary; and (iii) the parties will execute and deliver to each other such other documents and items as are determined necessary or appropriate for the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby.  All actions to be taken at the Closing shall be deemed to occur simultaneously, and no party shall be obligated to proceed with the Closing unless all of such actions occur at the Closing.

1.4

Section 338(h)(10) Elections.  Buyer and Karner agree, at the request of either one of them, to treat the purchase of the Clarity Shares by Buyer as a "qualified stock purchase" of the Clarity Shares within the meaning of Section 338(d)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and shall make a joint election under Section 338(h)(10) of the Code, and under comparable state and local income tax provisions, with respect to such purchase (a "Section 338(h)(10) Election").  In connection with the making of a Section 338(h)(10) Election, Buyer and Karner have agreed upon an allocation of the Clarity Purchase Price among the assets of Clarity that are deemed to have been acquired pursuant to Section 338(h)(10) of the Code and comparable state income tax provisions.  Such allocation shall be determined jointly by the parties within 30 days after the Closing Date.  If at the end of such 30-day period, Buyer and Karner are unable to agree upon an allocation, Buyer and Karner shall submit to an Independent Accounting Firm for review and resolution any and all matters that remain in dispute with respect to the allocation.  Buyer and Karner shall cause the Independent Accounting Firm to use commercially practicable efforts to make a final determination (which determination shall be binding on the parties) of the allocation of the Clarity Purchase Price within 30 days from such submission, and such final determination shall be the agreed-upon allocation.  The cost of the Independent Accounting Firm's review and determination shall be shared equally between Buyer and Karner.  Buyer and Karner shall exchange completed and properly executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form 8023, required schedules related thereto, and comparable state forms and schedules, all of which are to be prepared on a basis consistent with the agreed-upon allocation.  If any changes are required to be made to these forms or schedules as a result of information that first becomes available after the Closing, the parties shall promptly and in good faith reach an agreement as to the precise changes required to be made.  Buyer and Karner shall use the agreed-upon allocation for purposes of preparing all reports and returns with respect to Taxes.

1.5

Holdback.  The Buyer Shares constituting the Holdback Amount (the "Holdback Shares") will be represented by stock certificates issued to Sellers, as set forth in Sections 1.2(a)(ii) and 1.2(b)(ii), but delivered to the Secretary, to be held, in trust, pursuant to the following provisions as security for the Sellers' indemnity obligations for claims made by Buyer under Section 7.2 ("Indemnity Claims").

(a)

Distributions.  Except for tax-free dividends paid in stock declared with respect to the Holdback Shares ("Additional Holdback Shares"), the Secretary will promptly distribute to Sellers, in proportion to their ownership of the Holdback Shares ("proportionally"), any cash dividends or dividends payable in securities or other distributions of any kind made in respect of the Holdback Shares.  Any Additional Holdback Shares shall be added to the Holdback Amount and become a part thereof, and shall be considered Holdback Shares for purposes of this Agreement.

-5-

(b)

Rights.  Sellers shall have voting rights with respect to their respective Holdback Shares, and Ecotality will take all reasonable steps necessary to allow the exercise of such rights.

(c)

Resolved Claims.  Promptly upon the resolution (by arbitration, adjudication, settlement or otherwise) of an Indemnity Claim, the Secretary will release and transfer to Buyer that number of Holdback Shares equal to the Damages awarded for such claim, with the value of the Holdback Shares for such purpose being based on the average daily closing price of the stock during the 30 calendar days preceding the date the claim was resolved.  The Holdback Shares so released and transferred will be allocated proportionally between Sellers.  Each Seller hereby appoints the Secretary his attorney-in-fact for the purpose of effecting each such release and transfer.

(d)

Termination.  On the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the "Release Date"), the Secretary will distribute to Sellers, proportionally, all Holdback Shares not previously released and transferred to Buyer under subsection (c); provided that if on the Release Date any Indemnity Claims made prior thereto remain unresolved, (i) the Secretary will distribute the remaining Holdback Shares to Sellers only to the extent that the aggregate value of such Holdback Shares (based on the average daily closing price of the stock during the 30 calendar days preceding the Release Date) exceeds the aggregate amount of Damages sought in such pending unresolved claims, and (ii) the Holdback Shares so retained (or so many of them as are not thereafter released and transferred to Buyer, in accordance with subsection (c), as such claims are resolved) will be distributed to Sellers, proportionally, only when all such pending unresolved claims are thereafter resolved.

1.6

Certain Definitions.  As used in this Agreement, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated below:

(a)

"Affiliate" means, in respect of any specified Person, any other Person, whether or not a separate legal entity, that, directly or indirectly, controls, is controlled by or is under common control with, such specified Person.

Contracts.  The contracts of Buyer included in Buyer's SEC Reports, together with the other contracts that Buyer has made available to Sellers as part of Sellers' due diligence in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, are all of the contracts to which Buyer is a party, the termination or nonperformance of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Buyer.  All of such contracts of Buyer are in full force and effect, are valid and binding and are enforceable in accordance with their terms in favor of Buyer except for bankruptcy and similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or the availability of equitable remedies.  There are no material liabilities of the Buyer arising from any breach or default by the Buyer of any provision of any of such contracts that are not reflected in Buyer's Financial Statements, and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a material breach or default by Buyer of any of such contracts.  Buyer has fulfilled all material obligations required pursuant to each of such contracts to have been performed by Buyer prior to the date hereof and there is no reason that Buyer will not be able to fulfill, when due, all of its obligations under any of such contracts that remain to be performed after the date of this Agreement.

3.21

Taxes.  

(a)

Buyer has timely filed all Tax Returns required to have been filed by it for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the date hereof, and has paid all Taxes due to any taxing authority with respect to all taxable periods ending on or prior to the date hereof;

(b)

The Tax Returns filed by Buyer are true and correct in all material respects and reflect accurately all liability for Taxes for the periods covered thereby;

(c)

Buyer has not received notice that the IRS or any other taxing authority has asserted against it any deficiency or claim for additional Taxes in connection therewith;

(d)

There is no pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened audit, proceeding or investigation with respect to (i) any Tax Returns previously filed by Buyer (ii) the assessment or collection of Taxes or (iii) a claim for refund made by Buyer with respect to Taxes previously paid;

-21-

(e)

All amounts that are required by any taxing authority to be collected or withheld by Buyer have been duly collected or withheld and all such amounts that are required to be remitted to any taxing authority have been duly remitted;

(f)

There are no Encumbrances for Taxes due and payable upon any assets of Buyer other than Encumbrances for Taxes or assessments and similar charges, or otherwise arising by operation of law, which are either not yet due and payable or are being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves (as determined by GAAP, consistently applied) have been established on Buyer's' books with respect thereto;

(g)

Buyer is not a party to any tax allocation or sharing agreement which allocates tax liability to it.  Buyer is not nor has not been a member of an affiliated group filing a consolidated U.S. federal income Tax Return and neither has had any liability for the taxes of any Person under Reg. Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law), as a transferee or successor, by contract, or otherwise.  Buyer is not delinquent in the payment of any Taxes, assessment or governmental charge.  No deficiencies for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed against Buyer that have not been resolved or settled, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any Taxes against Buyer are pending or have been agreed to.  Any deferred taxes of Buyer have been accounted for in accordance with GAAP.

3.20

Governmental Consents and Approvals.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer does not, and the performance by Buyer of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, require any filing with or notification to, or any consent, approval, authorization or permit from, any governmental entity, other than filings with the SEC to be undertaken by Buyer.

3.21

Insurance.  No insurer has any right of payment, whether by way of set-off, indemnity or otherwise, of any nature whatsoever, against Buyer in respect of any recovery under any past or current insurance policy.

-23-

6.3

Company Benefit Plans.  Sellers have provided Buyer with copies of all employee benefit plans of each Company (the "Company Plans").  Buyer intends to provide all persons who accept employment with either Company following the Closing with substantially the same level of employee benefits provided by such Company to its employees pursuant to the Company Plans.

6.4

Net Working Capital Adjustment.

(a)

General.  The parties have agreed that the purchase price for the Company Shares will be adjusted as set forth below, by a post-Closing payment from Buyer to Sellers or from Sellers to Buyer, to the extent that the actual Net Working Capital (as defined below) as of the Closing Date is more or less than $410,160.30 (the "Target NWC")

(b)

Determination of Net Working Capital.

(i)

Within sixty 60 days following the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Sellers a statement of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date as determined by the Buyer's independent auditors (the "Buyer's Proposed NWC").

(ii)

To enable Sellers to review the Buyer's Proposed NWC, Buyer will, and will cause its auditors to, (A) make available to Sellers and their agents, attorneys and accountants upon reasonable advance notice all records and work papers related to the preparation of the Buyer's Proposed NWC and (B) allow Sellers and their agents, attorneys and accountants upon reasonable advance notice to interview any Buyer company personnel or independent auditor personnel significantly involved in the preparation of the Buyer's Proposed NWC.

(iii)

If Sellers disagree with the Buyer's Proposed NWC, or if Buyer fails to deliver the Buyer's Proposed NWC statement within the 60-day period, then at any time within 30 days after delivery of the Buyer's Proposed NWC statement or the end of such 60-day period, as applicable, Sellers may deliver to Buyer a statement of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date as determined by Sellers (the "Sellers' Proposed NWC"), which statement shall also set forth Sellers' objections to the Buyer's Proposed NWC, if Buyer timely delivered the Buyer's Proposed NWC statement.

-24-

(iv)

If Sellers timely deliver the Sellers' Proposed NWC statement, then Buyer and Sellers will use reasonable efforts to resolve any disagreements as to the computation of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date as set forth in their respective statements.  If they do not obtain a final resolution within 15 days after delivery of the Sellers' Proposed NWC statement, then either Buyer or Sellers may, by notice to the other at any time within 30 days thereafter, cause the parties to jointly retain an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing that is not a public accountant of Buyer or either of Sellers (an "Independent Firm") to resolve any remaining disagreements.  If Buyer and Sellers are unable to agree on the choice on an Independent Firm, the choice will be selected by lot from those top four accounting firms that are Independent Firms or, if no top four accounting firm is an Independent Firm, then Buyer and Sellers will each designate two independent accounting firms of recognized national or regional standing which are not public accountants of Buyer or either of Sellers and which are willing to serve, and the Independent Firm will be selected by lot from among those four designated accounting firms.  Buyer and Sellers will direct the chosen Independent Firm to render a determination within 30 days of its retention, and Buyer and Sellers and their respective agents will cooperate with the chosen Independent Firm during its engagement.  The determination of the chosen Independent Firm will be based on and consistent with the definition of Net Working Capital included herein.  The determination of the chosen Independent Firm as to the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the "Independently Determined NWC") will be conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Sellers and will be used for the post-Closing payments required under subsection (c) below.  In any proceeding described above, (i) all of the costs and expenses of Buyer (including attorneys' fees and expenses) shall be borne by Buyer, (ii) all of the costs and expenses of Sellers (including attorneys' fees and expenses) shall be borne by Sellers and (iii) all costs and expenses of the chosen Independent Firm shall be borne by Buyer in the event that the Buyer's Proposed NWC is further from the Independently Determined NWC than the Sellers' Proposed NWC is from the Independently Determined NWC (or in the event that the Independently Determined NWC resulted from Buyer's failure to timely deliver the Buyer's Proposed NWC statement); otherwise, Sellers shall bear all the costs and expenses of the chosen Independent Firm.

(v)

If Buyer timely delivers the Buyer's Proposed NWC statement and Sellers do not timely deliver the Sellers' Proposed NWC statement, then the Buyer's Proposed NWC will be used for the post-Closing payments required under subsection (c) below.

(vi)

If Sellers timely deliver the Sellers' Proposed NWC statement and neither party timely initiates the process to retain an Independent Firm to resolve their disagreements, then the Sellers' Proposed NWC will be used for the post-Closing payments required under subsection (c) below.

(vii)

If Buyer fails to timely deliver the Buyer's Proposed NWC statement and Sellers also fail to timely deliver the Sellers' Proposed NWC statement, then there will be no post-Closing payments under subsection (c) below.

(c)

Payment.  If the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, as determined under the procedures of subsection (b) above, exceeds the Target NWC, then Buyer will pay to Sellers, within fifteen business days of such determination, the amount of such excess, which will be payable to Sellers (in proportion to the amounts of the Initial Clarity Purchase Price and the Initial ETEC Purchase Price paid to them at the Closing) in cash by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds.  If the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date, as determined under the procedures of subsection (b) above, is less than the Target NWC, then Sellers will pay to Buyer, within five business days of such determination, the amount of such deficit, which will be payable by Sellers (in proportion to the amounts of the Initial Clarity Purchase Price and the Initial ETEC Purchase Price paid to them at the Closing) in cash by wire transfer or delivery of other immediately available funds.  No interest shall be paid with respect to any adjustment amount due and timely paid pursuant to this subsection.

-25-

(d)

Definition of Net Working Capital.  As used herein, "Net Working Capital" means the amount equal to the excess of (i) all cash and cash equivalents, inventory, trade receivables, and other assets of the Companies, on a consolidated basis, which are generally considered to be current assets, over (ii) all trade accounts payable, inventory-related accruals, and other liabilities of the Companies, on a consolidated basis, which are generally considered to be current liabilities; provided that (A) such items shall be valued, to the extent feasible, in accordance with GAAP consistently applied to previous periods; (B) any trade receivables included in such determination which, as of the Closing Date, are more than 120 days aged shall be discounted to reflect a reasonable reserve for uncollectibility; (C) the quantities and types of inventory included in such determination shall be the Companies' book inventory as of the close of business on the Closing Date, provided that any inventory which is not of a quality which is usable or salable in the ordinary course of business shall be discounted to reflect a reasonable reserve for inventory write down; (D) current liabilities shall include an amount equal to all Employee Accruals as of the Closing Date; and (E) such determination shall not include any items constituting or representing inter-company accounts between the Companies or between either Company and Buyer or any of its Affiliates.  As used herein, "Employee Accruals" means the amount the Companies would be required to pay under the Companies' employee benefit plans and applicable law, with respect to accrued and unused vacation days sick leave days and the like, if on the Closing Date the Companies were to terminate the employment of all of their employees without cause.

6.5

Non-Competition.  In consideration of the payment of the Clarity Purchase Price and the ETEC Purchase Price to be made to Sellers under this Agreement, each Seller covenants and agrees that, commencing on the Closing Date and continuing for three years following the Closing Date (the "Non-Competition Period"), he will not, and he will cause his Affiliates not to, either individually or as a partner, joint venturer, consultant, shareholder, member or representative of another person or otherwise, directly or indirectly, participate in, engage in, or have a financial or management interest in, promote, or assist any other person or entity in any business operation or any enterprise if such business operation or enterprise engages, or intends to engage, in a business that is substantially similar to, or competes for business with, either of the Companies.  Without limiting the right of Buyer to pursue all other legal and equitable rights available to it for violation of this Section by Sellers or their Affiliates, it is agreed that other remedies cannot fully compensate Buyer for such a violation and that Buyer will be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent any violation or continuing violation thereof (without the need to post any bond or other security).  It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that if, in any proceeding to enforce this Section, any term, restriction, covenant or promise in this Section is found to be unenforceable, then such term, restriction, covenant or promise shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable.

6.6

Non-Solicitation.  In consideration of the payment of the Clarity Purchase Price and the ETEC Purchase Price to be made to Sellers under this Agreement, during the Non-Competition Period, each Seller agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly, for himself or for the benefit of, or in conjunction with, any other Person:

-26-

(a)

call upon any current or former client of either Company, for the purpose of soliciting, selling, diverting, taking away, transferring or interfering with any such client's patronage of such Company;

(b)

solicit, or attempt to solicit, any person employed by either Company in order to cause the termination of such employee's employment with such Company; or

(c)

divert, take away, transfer or otherwise interfere with the relationship(s) of either Company with any of its suppliers, vendors, licensors or consultants.

6.7

Key Employee Retention Bonus.  Buyer shall provide a retention bonus for ETEC key employee Garrett Beauregard (the "Beauregard Retention Bonus") paid as follows: (A) $120,000 and 312,000 shares of Buyer Shares paid at Closing, (B) an aggregate of $24,000 paid in 10 equal, monthly installments of $2,400 each, beginning on December 1, 2007, and (C) up to an aggregate of 48,000 Buyer Shares per year paid in a manner consistent with the ETEC Contingent Payment in Section 1.2(b)(iii); provided that the issuance of any Buyer Shares as part of the retention bonus will be conditioned on the delivery by Mr. Beauregard to Buyer of a signed retention bonus agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, which will include representations from Mr. Beauregard similar to those set forth in Section 2.23, including without limitation the representation that Mr. Beauregard is an accredited investor.

6.8

Credit Line.  Buyer will arrange a line of credit for the Companies to replace the line of credit previously used by the Companies for which Karner provided a guarantee.

6.9

Sale of Stock.  To the extent it can do so in compliance with all applicable securities laws, Buyer will use its best efforts to assist Sellers to minimize the time after the Closing Date required to sell  Buyers Shares, including removal of the legends required by Section 8.1 upon any sale of the Buyers Shares following applicable holding periods.

6.10

Software Audit.  Within 90 days of the Closing, the Companies will conduct an audit of their right the standard office software they are using.  Sellers will pay the Companies' cost of the audit and the costs, if any, for additional software licenses which may be required as a result of the audit.

ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1

Survival of Representations and Warranties.  The representations and warranties of  Sellers and Buyer set forth in this Agreement and any certificates or schedules attached hereto or delivered hereunder shall survive the Closing and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and will continue until the second anniversary of the Closing Date, at which time they shall expire.  If an indemnification claim is properly asserted in writing pursuant to this Article prior to the expiration as provided herein of the representation or warranty that is the basis for such claim, then such representation or warranty shall survive until, but only for the purpose of, the resolution of such claim.

7.2

Indemnification by Sellers.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, from and after the Closing, Sellers, jointly and severally, shall indemnify Buyer, together with its officers, directors, employees and each affiliate of Buyer (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnified Parties") in respect of, and hold the Buyer Indemnified Parties harmless against, any and all claims, liabilities, losses, monetary damages, fines, fees, penalties, costs and expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Damages") incurred or suffered by any Buyer Indemnified Party resulting from or constituting any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by either Seller in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any agreement, document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Closing.

7.3

Indemnification by Buyer.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Sellers in respect of, and hold Sellers harmless against, any and all Damages incurred or suffered by either Seller resulting from any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Buyer in or pursuant to this Agreement or in any agreement, document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto or in connection with the Closing.

7.4

Claims for Indemnification.

(a)

Claims.  A person entitled to indemnification under this Article (an "Indemnified Party") shall give prompt written notification to the person from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party"); provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve, waive or diminish the Indemnifying Party's obligations unless, and then only to the extent, such failure has resulted in the loss of material substantive rights with respect to the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim.  An Indemnified Party wishing to assert a claim for indemnification which is not a third-party claim shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice which contains (i) a description and the amount of any Damages incurred by the Indemnified Party and (ii) a demand for payment in the amount of such Damages if then known and determinable.

(b)

Third-Party Claims.  An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of any action Party's obligations unless, and then only to the extent, such failure has resulted in the loss of material substantive rights with respect to the Indemnifying Party's ability to defend such claim.  Within 30 days after delivery of such notification (or, if earlier, at least 10 days prior to the date that an answer to the applicable claim is due to be filed), the Indemnifying Party may, upon written notice thereof to the Indemnified Party, assume control of the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of such defense, the Indemnified Party shall control such defense (in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in connection therewith shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement).  The party not controlling such defense may participate therein at its own expense; provided that if the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense and the Indemnified Party reasonably concludes, based on advice from counsel, that the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party have conflicting interests with respect to such action, suit, proceeding or claim, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party solely in connection therewith shall be considered Damages for purposes of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties.  The party controlling such defense shall keep the other party advised of the status of such action, suit, proceeding or claim and the defense thereof and shall consider recommendations made by the other party with respect thereto.  The Indemnified Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall not agree to any settlement of such action, suit, proceeding or claim that does not include a complete release of the Indemnified Party from all liability with respect thereto that imposes any liability or obligation on the Indemnified Party or impairs or interferes with any asset, right or entitlement of the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party.

-28-

7.5

Limitations on Indemnification.  Neither Buyer nor Sellers:

(a)

shall be liable with respect to claims under this Article unless and until the aggregate Damages related to such claims exceed $50,000, in which event such party shall be liable with respect to all such aggregate Damages, including the first $50,000; and

(b)

the aggregate liability of Sellers and Buyer for all Damages under this Article 7 shall not exceed an amount equal to the aggregate of the Clarity Purchase Price and the ETEC Purchase Price.

7.6

Payment of Indemnification.  Claims for indemnification under this Article shall be paid or otherwise satisfied by the Indemnifying Party within 30 days after notice thereof is given by the Indemnified Party.

7.7

Buyer's Right of Offset.  Buyer may offset the amount of any Damages first against the Holdback Amount and then against the amount of any Contingent Payment; provided that at the first anniversary of the Closing, the Secretary (pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.5) will release to Sellers the lesser of (i) the full Holdback Amount, or (ii) that portion of the Holdback Amount having a value (based on the fair value of the Buyer Shares on such first anniversary) in excess of the full aggregate amount of Damages for which Sellers could be liable under Section 7.2 with respect to all then unresolved indemnity claims made by Buyer prior to such first anniversary (with any retained portion of the Holdback Amount being released to Sellers or Buyer thereafter as such claims are resolved, as set forth in Section 1.5).

7.8

Insurance and Tax Benefits.  All amounts to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article shall be net of (i) any insurance proceeds received with respect thereto, and (ii) any tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnified Party.

ARTICLE 8
BUYER SHARES

8.1

Assignment.  Employee may not assign, transfer or delegate his rights or obligations hereunder, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  The Company may not assign this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consent of Employee; provided that the Company may assign this Agreement to its parent, any subsidiary of the Company or its parent or any successor entity of any of the foregoing without such prior written consent.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and all other prior agreements, written or oral, are hereby merged herein and are of no further force or effect.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement that is signed by the Company and Employee.  No waiver of any section or provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought.  The waiver by the Company of any section or provision of this Agreement shall not apply to any subsequent breach of this Agreement.  Captions to the various Sections of this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but together they shall constitute one and the same instrument.

-8-

Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and if any part of any provision is held illegal, void or invalid under applicable law, such provision may be changed to the extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, legal valid and binding.  If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, void or invalid in its entirety, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired but shall remain binding in accordance with their terms.

Continuing Obligations.  The provisions contained in Articles 4 (Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality) and 6 (Miscellaneous), and Sections 3.2 (Effect of Termination), 3.3 (Tax Matters), 5.2 (Assignment of Inventions), 5.3 (Moral Rights) and 5.4 (Intellectual Property Rights) of this Agreement shall continue and survive the termination of this Agreement.

Applicable Law.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and Employee hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced under the laws of the state of Arizona, without reference to any principles of conflict of laws.

Prior to terminating Employee For Cause pursuant to Section 3(a)(i) or 3(a)(ii), the Company shall deliver a written notice to Employee (the "Company Notice") which identifies, in reasonable detail, the basis on which the Company believes it may terminate Employee's employment For Cause.  Employee shall have a period of 30 days from the date of the Company Notice to cure any alleged breach or respond in writing to the Company describing, in reasonable detail, the basis on which Employee believes the Company does not have grounds to terminate this Agreement For Cause (the "Employee Response").  If, at the end of such 30-day period: (1) Employee has not cured the alleged breach or (2) the Company determines, in good faith after taking into account the Employee Response, that the basis for termination described in the Company Notice remains valid, then the Company may, in its reasonable discretion, terminate Employee For Cause.  Any dispute over termination of Employee's employment For Cause shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.3 (Arbitration) of this Agreement.

Good Reason.  For purposes of this Agreement, Employee may terminate his employment with the Company for "Good Reason" as a result of the Company: (i) requiring Employee to perform job duties and responsibilities that are materially inconsistent with the Services; or (ii) materially breaching the terms of this Agreement or the Purchase Agreement.  Prior to resigning for Good Reason, Employee shall, within 30 days of the applicable action or breach, deliver a written notice to the Company which identifies, in reasonable detail, the basis on which Employee believes he has Good Reason to terminate his employment and the Company shall have a period of 30 days from the date of such notice to reasonably cure any alleged breach or respond to Employee, in writing and in reasonable detail, describing the basis on which the Company believes Employee does not have Good Reason to terminate employment.  Any dispute as to the whether Employee has Good Reason to terminate employment shall be resolved in accordance with Section 6.3 (Arbitration) of this Agreement.

Voluntary Termination.  For the purposes of this Agreement, "Voluntary Termination" shall mean Employee's voluntary resignation or retirement from the Company for any reason other than Good Reason.

-2-

Termination Without Cause.  The Company may terminate Employee's employment under this Agreement without cause or notice at any time.

Disability.  At the Company's election, Employee's employment and this Agreement shall terminate upon Employee becoming totally or permanently disabled for a period of 180 days or more in any 12-month period.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "totally or permanently disabled" means Employee's inability on account of sickness or accident, whether or not job-related, to perform the essential duties associated with Employee's position with the Company (after any accommodations required by the Americans with Disabilities Act or applicable state law).

Death of Employee.  Employee's employment and this Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the death of Employee.

Termination by Mutual Agreement of the Parties.  Employee's employment and this Agreement may be terminated at any time upon a mutual agreement in writing of the parties hereto.  Any such termination of employment shall have the consequences specified in such agreement.

Effect of Termination.

Termination For Cause; Voluntary Termination; Death; Expiration of Term.  If Employee's employment hereunder shall be terminated at any time by the Company For Cause or by Employee by Voluntary Termination, upon the death of Employee or upon expiration of the term of this Agreement on the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall have no further obligation to Employee under this Agreement other than (i) accrued but unpaid Base Salary, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, and (ii) other accrued benefits required by law, prorated to the date of termination.

Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason.  If Employee's employment hereunder is terminated by the Company without cause or by Employee for Good Reason, then Employee shall be entitled to (i) accrued but unpaid Base Salary, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, and (ii) starting seven days after Employee has furnished to the Company an executed waiver and release of claims, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, Employee shall be entitled to continue to receive, semi-monthly in arrears, Employee's Base Salary in effect at the time of termination for a period ending at the end of the Term (the "Severance Period"), subject to standard deductions and withholdings, and continued payment of Employee's healthcare insurance premiums for the Severance Period providing coverage substantially the same as that provided prior to termination; provided, however, that if, during the Severance Period, Employee commits any act in contravention of Employee's undertakings contained in Section 4 of this Agreement (Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality), the Company shall not thereafter be obligated to pay such Base Salary or such healthcare insurance premiums to, or on behalf of, Employee.

Termination upon Disability.  In the event that Employee's employment and this Agreement are terminated pursuant to Section 3.1(e) (Disability), then Employee shall be entitled to continue to receive, semi-monthly in arrears, Employee's Base Salary, subject to standard deductions and withholdings, for a period of 120 days following the date of such termination.

Tax Matters; Section 409A of Internal Revenue Code.  Employee hereby elects to receive, and the Company hereby agrees to pay, the compensation payable to Employee under Section 3.2 of this Agreement (the "Post-Termination Compensation") at the time, in the manner, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 3.  Employee understands and agrees that he has no right to any post-employment compensation other than the Post-Termination Compensation.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the Post-Termination Compensation is intended to be for Employee's compliance with the restrictions in Section 4 and is not to be considered deferred compensation or severance pay in connection with Employee's employment under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the payment of the Post-Termination Compensation is ever determined to be subject to Section 409A ("Section 409A") of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), (i) neither Employee nor the Company shall have the right to accelerate or defer any payment of such Post-Termination Compensation; (ii) the Post-Termination Compensation shall be payable only if Employee has incurred a "Separation from Service" from the Company (as defined below), (iii) Post-Termination Compensation shall be paid out of the Company's general assets, and (iv) if Employee is a Code Section 416(i) key employee (determined without regard to Code Section 416(i)(5) which treats a key employee's beneficiary as a key employee) of the Company at any time during the 12-month period ending on December 31^st of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which payment of Post-Termination Compensation commences, and if any Company's stock is publicly traded on an established securities market or otherwise on the date of Employee's Separation from Service, payments of the Post-Termination Compensation shall commence on the first regular Company payday in the seventh month following the month in which Employee's Separation from Service occurs.  If the Post-Termination Compensation is ever determined to be subject to Section 409A, a "Separation from Service" is deemed to occur if Employee dies, retires, or otherwise has a termination of employment with the Company; provided, that Employee's employment relationship is treated as continuing intact while on military leave, sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence if the period of such leave does not exceed six months or longer, if Employee's right to reemployment is provided either by statute or by contract; and provided, further, if Employee continues to provide services to the Company in any capacity after termination or expiration of this Agreement or termination of Employee's employment relationship with the Company (the "Post-Termination Services"), the determination of whether a "Separation from Service" has occurred shall be made in accordance with Section 409A.  For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Company" includes all other organizations that together with the Company are part of a Code Section 414(b-c) control group of organizations.

NON-COMPETITION, NON-SOLICITATION AND CONFIDENTIALITY

Non-Solicitation of Clients and Prospective Clients.  For a period of one year after the termination of Employee's employment with the Company, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, call on, solicit, take away, accept as a client, customer, or prospective client or customer, or attempt to call on, solicit, take away, or accept as a client, customer, or prospective client or customer, any Person who (a) was a client, customer, or client for whom the Employee or any of the Company Group had developed a strategy or plan to contact, for the purpose of acquiring such Person as a client; or (b) was a client, customer, or client for whom the Employee or any of the Company Group had developed a strategy or plan to contact, or (c) was a client, customer, or client for whom the Employee or any of the Company Group had developed a strategy or plan to contact, with whom the Employee had any significant contact and/or about whom Employee had access to Confidential Information regarding, either individually or with another.  The Company's rights pursuant to this Section 4.3 are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity whether pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or otherwise.

Confidential Information.  Employee acknowledges that the Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) of the Company Group is valuable, special and unique to the Company; and that the Company wishes to protect such Confidential Information by keeping it confidential for the use and benefit of the Company Group.  Based on the foregoing, Employee undertakes during the Term and thereafter:

upon termination of Employee's employment with the Company or at any other time the Company may in writing so request, to promptly deliver to the Company all materials constituting Confidential Information (including all copies thereof) that are in Employee's possession or under Employee's control.  Further, Employee undertakes that, if requested by the Company, Employee shall return any Confidential Information pursuant to this subsection and shall not make or retain any copy of or extract from such materials.

Assignment of Inventions.  Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of his right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, processes, designs, technology, information, software, documentation, illustrations, artwork, photographs, trademarks, materials, original works of authorship, or trade secrets which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, during his relationship with the Company which (a) pertain to any business activity of the Company Group; or (b) are aided by use of time, materials, Confidential Information or facilities of the Company Group; or (c) relate to any of his work for the Company (collectively referred to as "Inventions").  Employee hereby assigns to the Company all of his right, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all intellectual property rights associated with such Inventions, including, without limitation, patents, patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, trade dress rights and trade secret rights. Employee will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company of all Inventions and will hold all Inventions in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company.  All copyrightable works made by Employee are, or shall be treated as, "works made for hire" to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. Employee's assignment to the Company of Inventions includes Inventions created during his relationship with the Company prior to the date of this Agreement.

-6-

Moral Rights.  Employee's assignment to the Company of Inventions includes (a) all rights of attribution, paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal, (b) any rights Employee may have under the Visual Rights Act of 1990 or similar federal, state, foreign or international laws or treaties, and (c) all other rights throughout the world sometimes referred to as "moral rights" (collectively "Moral Rights").  To the extent that Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law, Employee hereby waives such Moral Rights to the extent permitted under applicable law and consents to any and all actions of the Company that would otherwise violate such Moral Rights.

If the Company is unable for any reason to secure Employee's signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions assigned to the Company, then Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers as Employee's agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Employee's behalf to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer of letters patent or copyright registrations with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by Employee.

-7-

Remedies Cumulative.  The Company's rights and remedies in respect of this Section are cumulative and are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Company may have at law or in equity.

Arbitration.   If the parties are unable to informally resolve any dispute arising out of this Agreement either during or after its Term, including the question as to whether any particular matter can be arbitrated, the parties agree to mediate, with the option that if mediation does not yield a result acceptable to both parties, the dispute shall be resolved through binding arbitration.  Should the parties proceed with arbitration, the arbitration will proceed as follows:  In the event the parties have not agreed upon an arbitrator within twenty (20) days after either party has demanded arbitration, either party may file a demand for arbitration with the presiding judge of the Maricopa County Superior Court in Phoenix, Arizona and a single arbitrator shall be appointed.  Discovery may be conducted either upon mutual consent of the parties, or by order of the arbitrator upon good cause being shown.  In ruling on motions pertaining to discovery, the arbitrator shall consider that the purpose of arbitration is to provide for the efficient and inexpensive resolution of disputes, and the arbitrator shall limit discovery whenever appropriate to insure that this purpose is preserved.  The dispute between the parties shall be submitted for determination within thirty (30) days after the arbitrator has been selected.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be rendered within ten (10) days after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be in writing and shall specify the factual and legal basis for the decision.  Upon stipulation of the parties, or upon a showing of good cause by either party, the arbitrator may lengthen or shorten the time periods set forth herein for conducting the hearing or for rendering a decision.  The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties.  A judgment to enforce the decision of the arbitrator whether for legal or equitable relief may be entered in any court having jurisdiction of the Arizona Courts for such purpose.  The arbitrator shall conduct all proceedings pursuant to the then existing and commercially recognized arbitration rules.  In the event a dispute is submitted to arbitration pursuant to this Section, the prevailing party shall be entitled to the payment of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs by the other Party, as determined by the arbitrator.  Each of the parties shall keep all disputes and arbitration proceedings strictly confidential, except for disclosures of information required by applicable law or regulation.

Prevailing Party.  If any dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning this Agreement or their respective rights, duties and obligations hereunder, the party prevailing in such proceeding shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees and costs, in addition to any other relief that may be granted.

Assignment.  Employee may not assign, transfer or delegate his rights or obligations hereunder, and any attempt to do so shall be void.  The Company may not assign this Agreement to any Person without the prior written consent of Employee; provided that the Company may assign this Agreement to its parent, any subsidiary of the Company or its parent or any successor entity of any of the foregoing without such prior written consent.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns.

Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Purchase Agreement contain the entire agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and all other prior agreements, written or oral, are hereby merged herein and are of no further force or effect.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a written agreement that is signed by the Company and Employee.  No waiver of any section or provision of this Agreement shall be valid unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought.  The waiver by the Company of any section or provision of this Agreement shall not apply to any subsequent breach of this Agreement.  Captions to the various Sections of this Agreement are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but together they shall constitute one and the same instrument.

-8-

Severability.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable, and if any part of any provision is held illegal, void or invalid under applicable law, such provision may be changed to the extent reasonably necessary to make the provision, as so changed, legal valid and binding.  If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, void or invalid in its entirety, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired but shall remain binding in accordance with their terms.

Continuing Obligations.  The provisions contained in Articles 4 (Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality) and 6 (Miscellaneous), and Sections 3.2 (Effect of Termination), 3.3 (Tax Matters), 5.2 (Assignment of Inventions), 5.3 (Moral Rights) and 5.4 (Intellectual Property Rights) of this Agreement shall continue and survive the termination of this Agreement.

Applicable Law.  This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Company and Employee hereunder shall be governed by and construed and enforced under the laws of the state of Arizona, without reference to any principles of conflict of laws.
