The Seller desires to sell, and the Purchaser desires to purchase, all of the outstanding units of ownership of the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.
 
The Seller and the Purchaser desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
 
ARTICLE I.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE UNITS
 
Section 1.1. Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place at the offices of the Purchaser at 12903 Delivery Drive, San Antonio, Texas at 10:00 a.m., local time, to be effective at 11:59 PM on the 31st day of January, 2008, or at such other place and at such other time and date as may be mutually agreed upon by the Purchaser and the Seller. The date and time at which the Closing is effective, is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” All proceedings to be taken and all documents to be executed and delivered by all parties at the Closing will be deemed to have been taken, executed and delivered simultaneously, and no proceedings will be deemed taken nor any documents executed or delivered until all have been taken, executed and delivered.
 
Section 1.2. Purchase and Sale of the Units. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser will purchase, acquire and accept from the Seller, an aggregate one hundred (100) units of ownership of the Company (the “Units”), which such Units represent 100% ownership of the Company.
 
Section 1.3. Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid at the Closing by the Purchaser to the Seller for the purchase and sale of the Units, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 1.4 below, is $6,515,000 to be paid as follows:
 
(a)  payment by the Purchaser, by cashier’s check or wire transfer to the accounts designated by each Seller at least ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, of an aggregate amount (the “Cash Purchase Price”) equal to $3,000,000, and

1


(b)  delivery of a secured, subordinated promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which shall be in an amount equal to $3,515,000, subject to adjustment.
 
Section 1.4. Adjustments to Purchase Price.
 
(a) Post-Closing Adjustments. The accounting firm of Clifton Gunderson, LLP, the Company’s auditor (the “Auditor”) shall be retained by the Purchaser, and prepare audited financial statements for the Company for the annual periods ending on December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Financials’) and December 31, 2007 (“2007 Financials”) and such financial statements shall comply with the qualitative requirements of Section 2.4. The Auditor, shall make the following calculations as promptly as practicable after the completion and delivery of the 2007 Financials, and report the results to the Purchaser and the Seller in writing, together with a summary of the calculations:
 
(i) Calculating Accounts Receivable. The Auditor shall determine the specific identity of, and the gross amount of, all unpaid accounts receivable of the Company as of the Closing (“2007 Accounts Receivable”). For purposes of this Section 1.4, retainage shall not be deemed to be an account receivable unless and until such retainage has been invoiced as a collectible receivable.
 
(ii) Final Working Capital Adjustment. The Auditor will also determine the Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Final Closing Working Capital”). If the Final Closing Working Capital is less than $1,592,000 (the “Original Estimated Working Capital”), the then principal balance of the Promissory Note shall be reduced by the difference between the Final Closing Working Capital and the Original Estimated Working Capital. The Purchase Price shall be correspondingly reduced. If the Final Closing Working Capital is equal to or greater than the Original Estimated Working Capital, there will be no adjustment to the Promissory Note or the Purchase Price. The term “Working Capital” shall be the Company’s current assets, less the Company’s current liabilities. The phrase “current assets” shall be assets that are readily convertible, in the opinion of the Auditor, to cash within twelve (12) months of the Closing, and the phrase “current liabilities” shall be debts that, in the opinion of the Auditor, are likely to paid within twelve (12) months of the Closing.
 
(iii) Accounts Receivable Adjustment. As promptly as practicable following December 31, 2008, the Parties will determine the amount of 2007 Accounts Receivable that were collected during the 12 month period following the Closing (the “2007 A/R Collections”). The sum resulting by deducting the 2007 A/R Collections from the 2007 Accounts Receivable is the “A/R Adjustment.” The then outstanding principal balance of the Promissory Note shall be reduced by the full amount of the A/R Adjustment. After the A/R Adjustment has been calculated, and applied to the Promissory Note, the remaining uncollected 2007 Accounts Receivable shall be assigned to the Seller Representative.
 
(iv) Backlog Adjustment. As promptly as practicable after the Closing Date, the Auditor will determine the backlog of the Company on the Closing Date (“Closing Backlog”). If the Closing Backlog is greater than $7,100,000, then any net reduction to the Purchase Price required pursuant to Sections 1.4(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) above will be offset by the amount resulting from the following formula, but not to exceed $100,000:

2


(Closing Backlog - $7,100,000) x 0.025.

(v) Accounting Treatments, Processes, and Procedures. Subject to determinations made by the Company’s auditor, Buyer shall not cause or permit the Company, after the Closing Date, to change, modify, or alter its internal accounting treatments, processes, and procedures in any way which are inconsistent with the Company’s internal accounting treatments, processes, and procedures before the Closing Date. Subject to determinations made by the Company’s auditor, all audits of the Company’s financial records, contemplated in this Section 1.4, shall be conducted on the basis of the Company’s pre- and post-Closing Date treatments, processes, and procedures being as similar as is reasonably possible.
 
(vi) Closing Costs. All Closing Costs of the Company will be expensed by Company. All Closing Costs of the Company that are paid or accrued as of Closing will be added back to the calculation of Working Capital in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30,000.00. “Closing Costs” shall include only the accounting and legal fees incurred by Company (not Seller) directly related to the Closing of this Transaction. As an example (without limiting the forgoing) representation of the interests of the Seller in the drafting of the Definitive Agreement (and other documents related to the Transaction), and the commissions of Joe Valentine are not Closing Costs of the Company.
 
(b) Alternative Determination. If the Auditor is unable to complete any calculation or determination required by this Section 1.4, such calculation or determination will instead be made by mutual agreement of the Purchaser and the Seller.
 
(c) Notice of Adjustment. Prior to making any adjustment set forth in Section 1.4(a), the Purchaser will provide the Seller Representative written notice of such adjustment (the “Closing Adjustment”), including a calculation of how the adjustment was determined, and a reasonable opportunity to respond to same.
 
(d) Final Determination; Notice of Dispute. A Closing Adjustment proposed by Purchaser in accordance with Section 1.4(c) will be final, conclusive and binding on the Seller unless the Seller Representative provides a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Purchaser within thirty (30) Business Days following the Seller Representative’s receipt of the Closing Adjustment, setting forth in reasonable detail (a) any item of the Closing Adjustment which the Seller Representative believes is incorrect and (b) the Seller Representative’s alternative calculation of (or the Seller Representative’s identification of a suspected defect in) the Closing Adjustment. Any item or amount to which no dispute is raised in the Dispute Notice will be final, conclusive and binding on the Seller. Any Dispute Notice must specify, with reasonable particularity, all facts that form the basis of such disagreements and all statements by Persons and documents relied upon by the Seller Representative as forming the basis of such disagreement.

3


(e) Dispute Resolution. If Seller Representative delivers a Dispute Notice, the Purchaser and the Seller Representative will attempt to resolve the matters raised in the Dispute Notice in good faith for no less than twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of the Dispute Notice (the “Resolution Period”). If the Purchaser and the Seller Representative cannot reach agreement regarding the matters raised in such Dispute Notice during the Resolution Period, then either the Purchaser or the Seller Representative may provide written notice to the other within twenty (20) Business Days following the end of the Resolution Period that it elects to submit the disputed items to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm chosen jointly by the Purchaser and the Seller Representative (the “Referee”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Referee shall have no current or prior (within three (3) years) business relationship with the Purchaser, the Seller, or with any Affiliate of Purchaser or Seller. In the event that the Purchaser and the Seller Representative are unable to mutually agree on the choice of the Referee, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the non-moving party of the written notice contemplated above, then the Purchaser and the Seller Representative shall submit to one another, in writing, the names of their respective nominated Referees and said nominated Referees shall select a third nationally recognized independent accounting firm to serve as the Referee contemplated herein. The Referee will promptly review only those items and amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Dispute Notice and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific item and amount in accordance with GAAP. In no event shall the decision of the Referee provide for a calculation that is (i) more favorable to the Purchaser than a calculation shown in the Closing Adjustment or (ii) more favorable to the Seller than (x) a calculation shown in the Seller Representative’s alternative calculation thereof shown in the Dispute Notice or (y) the calculation thereof that results from the suspected defect identified by the Seller Representative in the Dispute Notice. Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Referee (including through the provision to the Referee of necessary documentation and, in the case of the Seller Representative, the names of all Persons whose statements are specified on the Dispute Notice as forming the basis for the Seller Representative’s disagreement with any item of a Closing Adjustment) and to cause the Referee to resolve any dispute no later than thirty (30) Business Days after selection of the Referee, and the decision of the Referee shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. The Referee shall allocate its costs and expenses equally between (i) the Purchaser and (ii) the Seller (which shall be allocated among the Persons making up the Seller in accordance with their equity ownership percentages in the Company immediately prior to the Closing).

(a) any facts that constitute, or any allegations that if true would constitute, a breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller in this Agreement or in any certificate or other document required to be executed and delivered by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(b) any facts that constitute, or any allegations that if true would constitute, a breach or default in the performance of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Seller pursuant to this Agreement or any certificate or other document required to be executed and delivered by them pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(c) any Claim founded in whole or in part on occurrences preceding the Closing (including, without limitation, Warranty Claims);
 
(d) any Claim (of any and every nature possible) by an employee of the Company for any conduct, action or inaction of the Company, Seller or any employee of the Company, that occurred or caused (in whole or in part), prior to the Closing, any damage or injury, cost, fine or expense of any nature;

25


(f) Claims or Losses suffered by Company, Purchaser, or its Affiliates, arising out of or related to any claim (of any and every nature possible) arising, in any manner, from any failure of Company to be authorized to conduct business as a foreign entity prior to the Closing.
 
Section 8.2. Threshold. The rights of the Indemnitees in this Article VIII are subject to a $100,000 threshold (the “Threshold Amount”). After the Indemnitees have suffered damages which in the aggregate equal or exceed the Threshold Amount from Claims or Losses subject to the Seller’s obligations of defense or indemnity in this Article VIII, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to assert claims for all damages suffered, including the Threshold Amount.
 
Section 8.3. Materiality. With respect to any claim for indemnification under this Article VIII relating to a breach (or alleged breach) of a representation or warranty that contains a materiality qualifier, such materiality qualifier will be considered for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation and warranty has occurred, but such materiality qualifier will not be considered in determining the amount of the Losses arising out of such breach.
 
Section 8.4. Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in Article II and in the certificate delivered to the Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.3(e) will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Closing until the three (3) year anniversary of the Closing, except that (a) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.7(a) will survive indefinitely, (b) if the violation of any representation or warranty would constitute a violation of any Law, such representation or warranty will survive until thirty (30) days after expiration of the statute of limitations applicable to such violation and (c) any representation or warranty the violation of which is made the basis of a Claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII will survive until such Claim is finally resolved if the Purchaser notifies the Seller of such Claim in reasonable detail prior to the date on which such representation or warranty would otherwise expire hereunder. No claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1(a) based on the breach or alleged breach of a representation or warranty may be asserted by the Purchaser after the date on which such representation or warranty expires.
 
Section 8.5. Termination of Indemnity Obligations. Any Claim sounding in tort brought by an Indemnitee against the Seller must be brought within two (2) years following the date that such Claim arises. Any Claim sounding in breach of contract brought by an Indemnitee against the Seller must be brought within three (3) years following the date that such Claim arises. Except as set forth in Sections 8.4(a), (b), and (c) and notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller’s obligations of defense and indemnity under this Article VIII terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date.
 
Section 8.6. Notice and Resolution of Claims.
 
(a) Notice. Each Indemnitee must provide reasonably prompt written notice to the Seller (the “Indemnifying Party”) after obtaining knowledge of any claim that it may have pursuant to Section 8.1 (whether for its own Losses or in connection with a Third Party Claim); provided that the failure to provide reasonably prompt notice will not limit the rights of an Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially increases the dollar amount of any such claim for indemnification or materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend such claim. Such notice will set forth in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for indemnification.

26


(b) Right to Assume Defense. With respect to a claim for indemnity that arises from a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Third Party Claim, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if (i) the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for any Losses resulting from such Third Party Claim, (ii) the Third Party Claim does not seek to impose any Liability on the Indemnitee other than for monetary damages and (iii) the Third Party Claim does not relate to the Indemnitee’s relationship with its customers or employees. The Indemnitee may participate in such defense or settlement through its own counsel, but such separate counsel will be at its own expense unless the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or unless one or more defenses, claims or counterclaims are available to the Indemnitee that conflict with one or more defenses, claims or counterclaims available to the Indemnifying Party. In no event, however, will the Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel of the Indemnitee.
 
(c) Obligations Following Assumption of Defense. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it must take all steps necessary to investigate and defend or settle such Third Party Claim and will hold the Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party or any judgment entered in connection with such Third Party Claim. Without the written consent of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include an unconditional and complete release of the Indemnitee by the claimant or plaintiff making the Third Party Claim.
 
(d) Failure to Assume Defense. Failure by the Indemnifying Party to notify the Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice thereof pursuant to Section 8.6(a) will be deemed a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of its right to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim. In such event, the Indemnitee may defend against such Third Party Claim in any manner it deems appropriate. The Indemnitee may settle such Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto, provided that it acts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
Section 8.7. Payment of Indemnity. Upon final agreement by the parties or the entry of a final, non-appealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction that an Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party must promptly pay or reimburse, as appropriate, the Indemnitee for all Losses to which it is entitled to be indemnified hereunder. If Purchaser seeks to offset the principal balance due on the Promissory Note for any amount due, owing and unpaid by Seller pursuant to an obligation of indemnity hereunder, Purchaser must provide Seller with written notice of such intended offset in the same manner that notice of a Closing Adjustment is to be provided pursuant to Section 1.4(c), and provisions of Notice of Dispute and Dispute Resolution set forth in Sections 1.4(d) & (e) shall be applicable to any such offset.
 
Section 8.8. Indemnification by the Purchaser. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the Purchaser and its Affiliates, will jointly and severally, defend, indemnify, and hold the Seller (the “Seller Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all Claims and Losses suffered by any of Seller Indemnitees arising out of or related to any claim (of any and every nature possible) by any construction bonding company of the Company for any conduct, action, or inaction by the Company or any employee of the Company, that occurred or caused (in whole or in part) prior to the Closing.
 
Section 8.9. Notice and Resolution of Seller Indemnities Claim.
 
(a) Notice. Each Seller Indemnitee must provide reasonably prompt written notice to the Purchaser (the “Purchaser Indemnifying Party”) after obtaining knowledge of any claim that it may have pursuant to Section 8.8 (a “Bond Claim”); provided that the failure to provide reasonably prompt notice will not limit the rights of a Seller Indemnitee to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such failure materially increases the dollar amount of any such claim for indemnification or materially prejudices the ability of the Purchaser Indemnifying Party to defend such claim. Such notice will set forth in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for indemnification.

27


(b) Right to Assume Defense. With respect to a claim for indemnity that arises from a Bond Claim, the Purchaser Indemnifying Party will have thirty (30) days after receipt of notice to assume the conduct and control of the settlement or defense of such Bond Claim, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Seller Indemnitee and at the expense of the Purchaser Indemnifying Party, if (i) the Purchaser Indemnifying Party acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnitee for any Losses resulting from such Bond Claim, and (ii) the Bond Claim does not seek to impose any Liability on the Seller Indemnitee other than for monetary damages. The Seller Indemnitee may participate in such defense or settlement through its own counsel, but such separate counsel will be at its own expense unless the conditions set forth above are not satisfied or unless one or more defenses, claims or counterclaims are available to the Seller Indemnitee that conflict with one or more defenses, claims or counterclaims available to the Purchaser Indemnifying Party. In no event, however, will the Purchaser Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel of the Seller Indemnitee.
 
(c) Obligations Following Assumption of Defense. If the Purchaser Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Bond Claim, it must take all steps necessary to investigate and defend or settle such Bond Claim and will hold the Seller Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all Losses caused by or arising out of any settlement approved by the Purchaser Indemnifying Party or any judgment entered in connection with such Bond Claim. Without the written consent of the Seller Indemnitee, the Purchaser Indemnifying Party will not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include an unconditional and complete release of the Seller Indemnitee by the claimant or plaintiff making the Bond Claim.
 
(d) Failure to Assume Defense. Failure by the Purchaser Indemnifying Party to notify the Seller Indemnitee of its election to assume the defense of any Bond Claim within thirty (30) days after its receipt of notice thereof pursuant to Section 8.9(a) will be deemed a waiver by the Purchaser Indemnifying Party of its right to assume the defense of such Bond Claim. In such event, the Seller Indemnitee may defend against such Bond Claim in any manner it deems appropriate. The Seller Indemnitee may settle such Bond Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect thereto, provided that it acts in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
Section 8.10. Insurance Reimbursement and Tax Consequences. All amounts paid, by either party, pursuant to the parties’ indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 8 shall be net of any proceeds received from any insurance companies relative to the Claim or Loss, and shall further be net of any beneficial tax consequences, relative to such Claim or Loss, received by the indemnified party.

Section 12.10. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, each of which will remain in full force and effect, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in a manner materially adverse to any party.

Section 12.11. Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement will create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person not party to this Agreement except to the extent such obligations are specifically assumed. No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations under this Agreement may be made by any party (by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of each of the other parties to this Agreement and any attempted assignment without such required consents will be void; provided, however, that the Purchaser may assign to one or more of its Affiliates any or all of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of any other party, but no such assignment by the Purchaser will release the Purchaser from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
 
Section 12.12. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified, and any provision hereof may be waived, only by written instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Purchaser and the Seller. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, no action (other than a waiver) taken pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any party, will be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such action of compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. The waiver by any party to this Agreement of a breach of any provision of this Agreement will not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
 
Section 12.13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
 
Section 12.14. Provisions Concerning the Seller Representative.
 
(a) Appointment. Each Person constituting the Seller hereby appoints the Seller Representative as the agent, proxy and attorney-in-fact for such Person for all purposes under this Agreement (including full power and authority to act on the Seller’s behalf). The action or inaction of the Seller Representative as contemplated in this Agreement shall bind all of the Persons constituting the Seller for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Seller may only take action in respect of this Agreement by and through the Seller Representative. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller Representative will be authorized to:
 
(i) in connection with the Closing, execute and receive all documents, instruments, certificates, statements and agreements on behalf of and in the name of the Seller necessary to effectuate the Closing and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby;
 
(ii) take all actions on behalf of the Seller with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1.4;
 
(iii) take all actions on behalf of the Seller in connection with any claims made under Article VIII to defend or settle such claims, and to make payments in respect of such claims;

35


(iv) execute and deliver, should it elect to do so in its sole discretion, on behalf of the Seller, any amendment to this Agreement so long as such amendment will apply equally to each of the Persons constituting the Seller; and
 
(v) take all other actions to be taken by or on behalf of the Seller and exercise any and all rights which the Seller are permitted or required to do or exercise under this Agreement.
 
(b) Liability of the Seller Representative. The Seller Representative will not be liable to any Person constituting the Seller for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, and each such Person will severally, but not jointly, indemnify the Seller Representative from any Losses arising out of its serving as the Seller Representative hereunder. The Seller Representative is serving in that capacity solely for purposes of administrative convenience, and is not personally liable in such capacity for any of the obligations of the Seller hereunder, and Buyer agrees that it will not look to the personal assets of the Seller Representative, acting in such capacity, for the satisfaction of any obligations to be performed by the Seller hereunder.

SUBORDINATED PROMISSORY NOTE

$3,515,000.00
January 31, 2008
 
 
San Antonio, Texas 
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ISI Controls, Ltd. (the “Maker”) promises to pay to JEFFREY E. CORCORAN and JANELL D. CORCORAN at N100 Craftsmen Drive, Greenville, Wisconsin, 54942 (“Holder”), owners of all of issued and outstanding units of ownership of COM-TEC SECURITY, LLC (“COM-TEC”) in lawful money of the United States of America the principal sum of THREE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($3,515,000.00), or such lesser amount as shall equal the outstanding principal amount hereof, together with interest from the date of this Note on the unpaid principal balance at a rate equal to 7.0% per annum, computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed and a year of 365 days. All unpaid principal, together with any then unpaid and accrued interest and other amounts payable hereunder, shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) April 1, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”), or (ii) when, upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined below), such amounts are declared due and payable by Holder or made automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof. Until the Maturity Date, payments shall be due and payable in accordance with the Payment Schedule attached hereto as Schedule A. This Note is issued pursuant to the Unit Purchase Agreement effective January 31, 2008 (as previously or hereafter amended, modified or supplemented, the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Maker and COM-TEC, and is guaranteed by affiliates of the Maker pursuant to Guaranty Agreements of even date herewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Note and all principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Unpaid principal and interest bear interest after maturity until paid (whether by acceleration or lapse of time) at the rate which would otherwise be applicable, plus five (5) percentage points.
 
The following is a statement of the rights of Holder and the conditions to which this Note is subject, and to which Holder, by the acceptance of this Note, agrees:
 
1. Definitions. As used in this Note, the following capitalized terms have the following meanings:
 
(a) Maker” includes the limited partnership initially executing this Note and any Person which shall succeed to or assume the obligations of the Maker under this Note.
 
(b) Event of Default” has the meaning given in Section 5 hereof.
 
(c) Holder” shall mean the Person specified in the introductory paragraph of this Note or any Person who shall, at the time, be the registered holder of this Note.

(e) Obligations” shall mean and include all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, howsoever arising, owed by the Maker to Holder of every kind and description (whether or not evidenced by any note or instrument and whether or not for the payment of money), now existing or hereafter arising under or pursuant to the terms of this Note, including, all interest, fees, charges, expenses, attorneys’ fees and costs and accountants’ fees and costs chargeable to and payable by the Maker hereunder, in each case, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, and whether or not arising after the commencement of a proceeding under Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. Section 101 et seq.), as amended from time to time (including post-petition interest) and whether or not allowed or allowable as a claim in any such proceeding.
 
(f) Person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a corporation (including a business trust), a joint stock Maker, a limited liability Maker, an unincorporated association, a joint venture or other entity or a governmental authority.
 
(g) Securities Act” shall mean the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
(h) Senior Indebtedness” means, all principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all indebtedness of Maker, whether outstanding on the date of this Note or thereafter created, incurred or assumed, arising only under (i) that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement by and between LaSalle Bank, NA, and ISI Security Group, Inc. dated as of January 23, 2008, as it has been and may be amended from time to time, and (ii) that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Blair Indebtedness”) by and among William Blair Mezzanine Capital Fund III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Maker, and affiliates of Maker party thereto dated as of October 22, 2004, as it has been and may be amended from time to time (collectively, the Senior Indebtedness). Senior Indebtedness shall include any such indebtedness or any notes or other evidence of indebtedness issued in exchange for such Senior Indebtedness, or any indebtedness arising from the satisfaction of such Senior Indebtedness by a guarantor. No other indebtedness of the Maker shall be considered Senior Indebtedness.
 
(i) “Subsidiary” shall mean (a) any corporation of which more than 50% of the issued and outstanding equity securities having ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of such corporation is at the time directly or indirectly owned or controlled by the Maker, (b) any partnership, joint venture, or other association of which more than 50% of the equity interest having the power to vote, direct or control the management of such partnership, joint venture or other association is at the time directly or indirectly owned and controlled by the Maker, (c) any other entity included in the financial statements of the Maker on a consolidated basis.
 
2. Interest. Accrued interest on this Note shall be payable in accordance with Schedule A until the outstanding principal amount hereof shall be paid in full. Any accrued but unpaid interest on this Note shall be payable at the time this Note is paid in full.
 
A-3

 
3. Prepayment. Full or partial prepayment of this Note is permitted at any time without penalty. Unless otherwise agreed to by Lender at the time of payment, any payment shall be applied first against interest accrued to the date of such payment and then to principal. In the event of prepayment by Maker, such principal amounts being paid shall be applied to principal installments due under this Note in the inverse order in which they are due, and shall not defer any succeeding installments of principal or interest due hereunder. Maker agrees not to send Lender payments marked “paid in full,” “without recourse,” or similar language. If Maker sends such a payment, Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender’s rights under this Note, and Maker will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender.
 
4. Subordination. The indebtedness evidenced by this Note is hereby expressly subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the Maker’s Senior Indebtedness, whether now or hereafter existing. Holder hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Maker or a holder of any Senior Indebtedness, including customary forms of subordination agreement requested from time to time by a holder of Senior Indebtedness, in order to implement Section 4 hereof. The Maker may require that the Holder execute such documents as a condition to the Holder’s rights hereunder.
 
5. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the following events of default:
A. Maker fails to pay any amount when due and such default remains uncured for a period of five (5) days after written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice thereof has been given to Maker by Lender;
 
B. Any representation or warranty made under this Note or in the Unit Purchase Agreement, or information provided by Maker to Lender in connection with this Note or the Unit Purchase Agreement is or was false or fraudulent in any material respect;
 
C. A material adverse change occurs in Maker’s financial condition;
 
D. Maker fails to timely observe or perform any of the non-monetary covenants or duties contained in this Note or the Unit Purchase Agreement, and such event shall remain uncured for a period of fourteen (14) days after written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice thereof has been given to Maker by Lender;
 
E. Maker fails to timely observe or perform any of the covenants or duties contained in the Lease Agreement, executed on even date herewith (the “Lease”) by and between Lender and Maker, which such default shall occur on or before the second anniversary of the Commencement Date, as defined in the Lease, and such default under the Lease shall remain uncured for a period fourteen (14) days after written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice thereof has been given to Maker by Lender;
 
F. Any guaranty of Maker’s obligations under this Note is revoked or becomes unenforceable for any reason; or
 
A-4

 
G. Maker or a surety or guarantor of this Note ceases to exist;
 
H. An event of default occurs under any agreement securing this Note, and such event shall remain uncured for a period of fourteen (14) days after written or telephonic (promptly confirmed in writing) notice thereof has been given to Maker by Lender;
 
then the unpaid balance and all accrued interest shall, at the option of Lender, without notice, mature and become immediately payable. The unpaid balance shall automatically mature and become immediately payable in the event any Maker, surety, endorser or guarantor becomes the subject of bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings. Lender’s receipt of any payment on this Note after the occurrence of an event of default shall not constitute a waiver of the default or the Lender’s rights and remedies upon such default.
 
6. Rights of Holder upon Default. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Sections 5(b) or 5(c)) and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such Event of Default, Holder may, by written notice to the Maker, declare all outstanding Obligations payable by the Maker hereunder to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. Upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default described in Sections 5(b) and 5(c), immediately and without notice, all outstanding Obligations payable by the Maker hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived. In addition to the foregoing remedies, upon the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, Holder may exercise any other right power or remedy permitted to it by law, either by suit in equity or by action at law, or both, and shall be entitled to recover all costs, fees and expenses incurred as a result of such Event of Default, including but not limited to all reasonable attorneys fees.
 
7. Successors and Assigns. Subject to the restrictions on transfer described in Sections 10 and 11 below, the rights and obligations of the Maker and Holder shall be binding upon and benefit the successors, assigns, heirs, administrators and transferees of the parties.
 
8. Waiver and Amendment. Any provision of this Note may be amended, waived or modified upon the written consent of the Maker and Holder.
 
9.Assignment. With respect to any offer, sale or other disposition of this Note Holder will give written notice to the Maker prior thereto, describing briefly the manner thereof, together with, a written opinion of Holder’s counsel, or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Maker, to the effect that such offer, sale or other distribution may be effected without registration or qualification (under any federal or state law then in effect). Upon receiving such written notice and reasonably satisfactory opinion, if so requested, or other reasonably satisfactory evidence, the Maker, as promptly as practicable, shall notify Holder that Holder may sell or otherwise dispose of this Note, in accordance with the terms of the notice delivered to the Maker. If a determination has been made pursuant to this Section 9 that the opinion of counsel for Holder, or other evidence, is not reasonably satisfactory to the Maker, the Maker shall so notify Holder promptly after such determination has been made, stating with reasonable specificity the reason(s) for such determination. The Note shall bear the following legend (or a substantially similar legend) unless in the opinion of counsel for the Maker, such legend is not required in order to ensure compliance with the Securities Act:
 
A-5


THIS NOTE HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED. IT MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER SAID ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE MAKER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
10. The Maker or Argyle may issue stop transfer instructions to its transfer agent in connection with such restrictions. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Holder (or any assignee of the Holder permitted pursuant to the Section 10) may, after the expiration of six months following the Closing Date of the Purchase Agreement, transfer or assign all or any portion of this Note, upon 5 days advance written notice to the Maker, to any of the following entities, without securing prior approval from the Maker: (i) the Maker; (ii) any affiliate of the Holder; or (iii) any Immediate Family Member of Holder's assignee. As used herein the term "Immediate Family Member" shall mean, with respect to a natural person, any spouse, sibling, or child of such natural person, and any trust, custodianship, guardianship, family limited partnership or similar entity created for the primary benefit of one or more of the forgoing individuals..

All notices, requests, demands, consents, instructions or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall in writing and faxed, mailed or delivered to each party at the respective addresses of the parties as set forth below, or at such other address or facsimile number as shall have been furnished to the receiving party in writing.

Restricted Parties acknowledge that while the business of the Company is based in Greenville, Wisconsin , its products and services are marketed throughout the United States, and the Company has existing clients throughout the Restricted Territory.

(ii) For purposes of this Section 3(c), a Person shall be deemed to be engaged or participating in business or other activities “in” the Restricted Territory, in addition to other activities that would constitute being engaged or participating in business or other activities, if such Person uses any telecommunication equipment or device (including without limitation any telephone, modem, the Internet, any intranet or extranet, a cellular telephone device, or any pager or satellite communication device) located in the Restricted Territory to communicate with any other Person, whether such other Person is located inside the Restricted Territory or outside the Restricted Territory or any such equipment is located outside the Restricted Territory to communicate with any Person located inside the Restricted Territory.

(d) Nonsolicitation Covenant. Restricted Parties agree that during the Restricted Period (except for employment advertisements which are placed in newspapers or other periodicals of general circulation or otherwise widely disseminated such as on the Internet), they will not, for themselves or any other Person, directly or indirectly, (w) induce or attempt to induce any employee of Com-Tec at the time of the Closing or who is hired by Com-Tec, to leave the employ of the Company to engage or participate in any Restricted Activity, (x) in any way interfere with the relationship between the Com-Tec and any employee of Com-Tec, (y) employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, any employee of Com-Tec, or (z) induce or attempt to induce any client, customer, supplier, vendor, licensee or business relation of Com-Tec or the Company to cease doing business with Com-Tec or the Company, or in any way interfere with the relationship between any client, customer, supplier, vendor, licensee, or business relation of Com-Tec or the Company.

Restricted Parties, therefore, further acknowledge that, in the event they violate, or threaten to violate, any of the Restrictions, Com-Tec or the Company shall be entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the posting of any bond or other security, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as damages and an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from such violation, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies in law or equity to which it may be entitled. If Restricted Parties violate any of the Restrictions, the applicable restricted period shall be tolled from the time of commencement of the violation until such time as the violation has been cured to the satisfaction of Com-Tec and the Company. If any Restrictions, or any part thereof, are determined in any Proceeding to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Restrictions shall not thereby be affected and shall be given full effect without regard to the invalid provisions. If the Restrictions should be adjudged unreasonable in any Proceeding, then the reviewing Governmental Body or other Person shall have the power to reform the Restrictions to the extent reasonably necessary to make the Restrictions valid and enforceable and, in the modified form, such provisions shall then be enforceable and shall be enforced.

GENERAL BUSINESS SECURITY AGREEMENT

1.
SECURITY INTEREST

In consideration of the financial accommodation granted by JEFFREY E. CORCORAN and JANELL D. CORCORAN (together or separately, “Lender”) to ISI CONTROLS, LTD, a Texas limited partnership (the “Debtor”), the undersigned, grants to Lender, a security interest in all equipment, fixtures, inventory (including all goods held for sale, lease or demonstration or to be furnished under contracts of service, goods leased to others, trade-ins and repossessions, raw materials, work in process and materials or supplies used or consumed in the Debtor’s business), documents relating to inventory, general intangibles, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and instruments, now owned or hereafter acquired by Debtor, and all additions and accessions to, all spare and repair parts, special tools, equipment and replacements for, all returned or repossessed goods the sale of which gave rise to, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing ("Collateral"), wherever located to secure all debts, obligations and liabilities of the Debtor to Lender arising out of credit previously granted and credit contemporaneously granted by Lender to the Debtor ("Obligations").

2.
DEBTOR'S WARRANTIES

Debtor warrants that while any of the Obligations are unpaid:

A. Ownership. Debtor owns the Collateral, subject only to security interests identified in Section 8, and otherwise free of all encumbrances and security interests (except Lender's security interest). Chattel paper constituting Collateral evidences a perfected security interest in the goods covered by it, free from all other encumbrances and security interests (except as described herein), and no financing statement (other than those indicated in Section 8) is on file covering the Collateral or any of it. Debtor, acting alone, may grant a security interest in the Collateral.

B. Sale of goods or services rendered. Each account and chattel paper constituting Collateral as of this date arose from the performance of services by Debtor or from a bona fide sale or lease of goods, which have been delivered or shipped to the account debtor and for which Debtor has genuine invoices, shipping documents or receipts.

C. Enforceability. Each account, contract right and chattel paper constituting Collateral as of this date is genuine and enforceable against the account debtor according to its terms. It and the transaction out of which it arose comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The amount represented by Debtor to Lender as owing by each account debtor is the amount actually owing and is not subject to setoff, credit, allowance or adjustment, except discount for prompt payment, nor has any account debtor returned the goods or disputed his liability.

E-2


D. Due date. There has been no default as of this date according to the terms of any Collateral and no step has been taken to foreclose the security interest it evidences or otherwise enforce its payment.

E. Financial condition of account debtor. As of this date Debtor has no notice or knowledge of anything which might impair the credit standing of any account debtor.
 
F. Valid incorporation. Debtor is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of incorporation.

G. Other agreements. Debtor is not in default under any agreement for the payment of money.

H. Authority to contract. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and any instruments evidencing Obligations will not violate or constitute a breach of Debtor's articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or any agreement or restriction to which Debtor is a party or is subject.

I. Accuracy of information. All information, certificates or statements given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be true and complete when given.

J. Addresses. The address of Debtor's place of business is shown opposite the Debtor’s signature. The address where the Collateral will be kept is at 3030 East Goodland Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin. Such locations shall not be changed without prior or written consent of Lender, but the parties intend that the Collateral, wherever located, is covered by this Agreement.

K. Change of name or address. Debtor shall immediately advise Lender in writing of any change in name or address.

L. Fixtures. If any of the Collateral is affixed to real estate, the legal description of the real estate set forth in each UCC Financing Statement signed by Debtor is true and correct.

3.
SALE AND COLLECTIONS

A. Sale of inventory. So long as no default exists under any of the Obligations or this Agreement, Debtor may (a) sell inventory in the ordinary course of Debtor's business for cash or on terms customary in the trade, at prices not less than any minimum sale price shown on instruments evidencing Obligations and describing inventory, or (b) lease inventory on terms customary in the trade.

E-3


B. Verification and notification. Lender may verify Collateral in any manner, and Debtor shall assist Lender in so doing. Upon default Lender may at any time and Debtor shall, upon request of Lender, notify the account debtors to make payment directly to Lender and Lender may enforce collection of, settle, compromise, extend or renew the indebtedness of such account debtors. Until account debtors are so notified, Debtor as agent of Lender, shall make collections on the Collateral. Lender may at any time notify the bailee of any Collateral of Lender's security interest.

4.
DEBTOR'S COVENANTS

A. Maintenance of Collateral. Debtor shall: maintain the Collateral in good condition and repair and not permit its value to be impaired; keep it free from all liens, encumbrances and security interests (other than Lender's security interest and those indicated in Section 8); defend it against all claims and legal proceedings by persons other than Lender; pay and discharge when due all taxes, license fees, levies and other charges upon it; not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of it or permit it to become a fixture or an accession to other goods, except for sales or leases of inventory as provided in this Agreement, not permit it to be used in violation of any applicable law, regulation or policy of insurance; and, as to Collateral consisting of instruments and chattel paper, preserve rights in it against prior parties. Loss of or damage to the Collateral shall not release a Debtor from any of the Obligations.

B. Insurance. Debtor shall keep the Collateral and Lender's interest in it insured under policies with such provisions, for such amounts and by such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Lender from time to time, and shall furnish evidence of such insurance satisfactory to Lender. Subject to Lender’s priority as secured creditor of Debtor, Debtor assigns (and directs any insurer to pay) to Lender the proceeds of all such insurance and any premium refund, and authorizes Lender to indorse in the name of Debtor any instruments for such proceeds or refunds and, at the option of Lender, to apply such proceeds and refunds to any unpaid balance of the Obligations; whether or not due, and/or to restoration of the Collateral, returning any excess to Debtor. Lender is authorized, in the name of Debtor or otherwise, to make, adjust, and/or settle claims under any insurance on the Collateral, or cancel the same after the occurrence of an event of default.

C. Maintenance of security interest. Debtor shall pay all expenses and upon request, take any action reasonably deemed advisable by Lender to preserve the Collateral or to establish, determine priority of, perfect, continue perfected, terminate and/or enforce Lender's interest in it or rights under this Agreement.

D. Taxes and other charges. Pay and discharge all lawful taxes, assessments and government charges upon Debtor or against its properties prior to the date on which penalties attach, unless and to the extent only that such taxes, assessments and charges are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings by Debtor.

E-4


E. Chattel paper. Lender may require that chattel paper constituting Collateral shall be on forms approved by Lender. Debtor shall promptly mark all chattel paper constituting Collateral, and all copies, to indicate conspicuously the Lender's interest and, upon request, deliver them to Lender.

F. United State contracts. If any accounts or contract rights constituting Collateral arose out of contracts with the United States or any of its departments, agencies or instrumentalities, Debtor will notify Lender and execute writings required by Lender in order that all money due or to become due under such contracts shall be assigned to Lender and proper notice of the assignment given under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act.

G. Modifications. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Debtor shall not alter, modify, extend, renew or cancel any accounts or chattel paper constituting Collateral or any Collateral constituting part of the Debtor's borrowing base.

5.
RIGHTS OF LENDER

A. Authority to perform for Debtor. Upon the occurrence of an event of default or if Debtor fails to perform any of Debtor's duties set forth in this Agreement or in any evidence of or document relating to the Obligations, Lender is authorized, in the Debtor's name or otherwise, to take any such action including without limitation signing Debtor's name or paying any amount so required, and the cost shall be one of the Obligations secured by this Agreement and shall be payable by the Debtor upon demand with interest from the date of payment by Lender at the highest rate stated in any evidence of any Obligation but not in excess of the maximum rate permitted by law.

B. Power of attorney. Debtor irrevocably appoints Lender as Debtor's attorney, with power after an event of default to receive, open and dispose of all mail addressed to Debtor; to notify the Post Office authorities to change the address for delivery of all mail addressed to Debtor to such address as Lender may designate; and to endorse the name of Debtor upon any instruments which may come into Lender's possession. Debtor agrees that Obligations may be created by drafts drawn on Lender by shippers of inventory named in section 4. Debtor authorizes Lender to honor any such draft accompanied by invoices aggregating the amount of the draft and describing inventory to be shipped to Debtor and to pay any such invoices not accompanied by drafts. Debtor appoints any employee of Lender as Debtor's attorney, with full power to sign Debtor's name on any instrument evidencing an Obligation, or any renewals or extensions, or the amount of such drafts honored by Lender and such instruments may be payable at fixed times or on demand, shall bear interest at the rate from time to time or the amount of such drafts honored by Lender and such instruments may be payable at fixed times or on demand, shall bear interest at the rate from time to time fixed by Lender and Debtor agrees, upon request of Lender, to execute any such instruments. This power of attorney to execute instruments may be revoked by Debtor only by written notice to Lender and no such revocation shall affect any instruments executed prior to the receipt of Lender of such notice. All acts of such attorney are ratified and approved and he is not liable for any act or omission or for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law.

E-5


C. Non-liability of Lender. Lender has no duty to determine the validity of any invoice, the authority of any shipper named in section 4 to ship goods to Debtor or compliance with any order of Debtor. Lender has no duty to protect, insure, collect or realize upon the Collateral or preserve rights in it against prior parties. Debtors release Lender from any liability for any act or omission relating to the Obligations, the Collateral or this Agreement, except Lender's wilful misconduct.

6.
DEFAULT

Upon the occurrence of one or more of the following events of default:

Nonperformance. The Debtor fails to pay when due (and after notice) any of the Obligations or to perform, or rectify breach of, any warranty or other undertaking by the Debtor in this Agreement or in any evidence of or document relating to the Obligations; or

Inability to Perform. The Debtor or a surety or guarantor for any of the Obligations ceases to exist or becomes insolvent or the subject of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings;

all of the Obligations shall, at the option of Lender and without notice or demand, become immediately payable; and Lender shall have all rights and remedies for default provided by the Wisconsin Uniform Commercial Code, as well as any other applicable law and any evidence of or document relating to any such Obligation. With respect to Lender’s rights and remedies:

A. Repossession. Lender may take possession of Collateral without notice or hearing, which Debtor waives;

B. Assembling collateral. Lender may require Debtor to assemble the Collateral and to make it available to Lender at any convenient place designated by Lender;

GENERAL BUSINESS SECURITY AGREEMENT
 
1. SECURITY INTEREST

In consideration of the financial accommodation granted by JEFFREY E. CORCORAN and JANELL D. CORCORAN (together or separately, “Lender”) to ISI CONTROLS, LTD. (the “Borrower”), the undersigned, ISI SECURITY GROUP, INC. (“ISI Security”) grants to Lender, a security interest in all equipment, fixtures, inventory (including all goods held for sale, lease or demonstration or to be furnished under contracts of service, goods leased to others, trade-ins and repossessions, raw materials, work in process and materials or supplies used or consumed in the ISI Security’s business), documents relating to inventory, general intangibles, accounts, contract rights, chattel paper and instruments, now owned or hereafter acquired by ISI Security, and all additions and accessions to, all spare and repair parts, special tools, equipment and replacements for, all returned or repossessed goods the sale of which gave rise to, and all proceeds and products of the foregoing ("Collateral"), wherever located to secure all debts, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to Lender arising out of credit previously granted and credit contemporaneously granted by Lender to the Borrower ("Obligations").

2. ISI SECURITY 'S WARRANTIES

ISI Security warrants that while any of the Obligations are unpaid:

A. Ownership. ISI Security owns the Collateral, subject only to security interests identified in Section 8, and otherwise free of all encumbrances and security interests (except Lender's security interest). Chattel paper constituting Collateral evidences a perfected security interest in the goods covered by it, free from all other encumbrances and security interests (except as described herein), and no financing statement (other than those indicated in Section 8) is on file covering the Collateral or any of it. ISI Security, acting alone, may grant a security interest in the Collateral.

B. Sale of goods or services rendered. Each account and chattel paper constituting Collateral as of this date arose from the performance of services by ISI Security or from a bona fide sale or lease of goods, which have been delivered or shipped to the account debtor and for which ISI Security has genuine invoices, shipping documents or receipts.

C. Enforceability. Each account, contract right and chattel paper constituting Collateral as of this date is genuine and enforceable against the account debtor according to its terms. It and the transaction out of which it arose comply with all applicable laws and regulations. The amount represented by ISI Security to Lender as owing by each account debtor is the amount actually owing and is not subject to setoff, credit, allowance or adjustment, except discount for prompt payment, nor has any account debtor returned the goods or disputed his liability.
 
F-2

 
D. Due date. There has been no default as of this date according to the terms of any Collateral and no step has been taken to foreclose the security interest it evidences or otherwise enforce its payment.

E. Financial condition of account debtor. As of this date, ISI Security has no notice or knowledge of anything which might impair the credit standing of any account debtor.
 
F. Valid incorporation. ISI Security is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of incorporation.

G. Other agreements. ISI Security is not in default under any agreement for the payment of money.

H. Authority to contract. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and any instruments evidencing Obligations will not violate or constitute a breach of ISI Security's articles of incorporation, by-laws, partnership agreement or any agreement or restriction to which ISI Security is a party or is subject.

I. Accuracy of information. All information, certificates or statements given to Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be true and complete when given.

J. Addresses. The address of ISI Security's place of business is shown opposite the Corporation’s signature. The address where the Collateral will be kept is 3030 East Goodland Drive, Appleton, Wisconsin. Such locations shall not be changed without prior or written consent of Lender, but the parties intend that the Collateral, wherever located, is covered by this Agreement.

K. Change of name or address. ISI Security shall immediately advise Lender in writing of any change in name or address.

L. Fixtures. If any of the Collateral is affixed to real estate, the legal description of the real estate set forth in each UCC Financing Statement signed by ISI Security is true and correct.

B. Verification and notification. Lender may verify Collateral in any manner, and ISI Security shall assist Lender in so doing. Upon default Lender may at any time and ISI Security shall, upon request of Lender, notify the account debtors to make payment directly to Lender and Lender may enforce collection of, settle, compromise, extend or renew the indebtedness of such account debtors. Until account debtors are so notified, ISI Security as agent of Lender, shall make collections on the Collateral. Lender may at any time notify the bailee of any Collateral of Lender's security interest.

4. ISI SECURITY'S COVENANTS

A. Maintenance of Collateral. ISI Security shall: maintain the Collateral in good condition and repair and not permit its value to be impaired; keep it free from all liens, encumbrances and security interests (other than Lender's security interest and those indicated in Section 8); defend it against all claims and legal proceedings by persons other than Lender; pay and discharge when due all taxes, license fees, levies and other charges upon it; not sell, lease or otherwise dispose of it or permit it to become a fixture or an accession to other goods, except for sales or leases of inventory as provided in this Agreement, not permit it to be used in violation of any applicable law, regulation or policy of insurance; and, as to Collateral consisting of instruments and chattel paper, preserve rights in it against prior parties. Loss of or damage to the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of the Obligations.

B. Insurance. ISI Security shall keep the Collateral and Lender's interest in it insured under policies with such provisions, for such amounts and by such insurers as shall be satisfactory to Lender from time to time, and shall furnish evidence of such insurance satisfactory to Lender. Subject to Lender’s priority as secured creditor of ISI Security, ISI Security assigns (and directs any insurer to pay) to Lender the proceeds of all such insurance and any premium refund, and authorizes Lender to indorse in the name of ISI Security any instruments for such proceeds or refunds and, at the option of Lender, to apply such proceeds and refunds to any unpaid balance of the Obligations; whether or not due, and/or to restoration of the Collateral, returning any excess to ISI Security.

Lease Agreement
 
J-1

 
LEASE AGREEMENT
 
THIS LEASE AGREEMENT (the “Lease”), is made and entered into this 1st day of February, 2008, by and between J.J.C. VALLEY PROPERTIES, LLC, (the “Lessor”), and ISI CONTROLS, LTD. (the “Lessee”).

WITNESSETH:

IN CONSIDERATION of the rents and agreements of Lessee herein, Lessor hereby leases to Lessee the following-described premises situated at 3030 East Goodland Drive, City of Appleton, Outagamie County, Wisconsin (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”), on and subject to the terms, conditions and provisions herein contained.

1. Term. To have and to hold the Premises to Lessee for a term of five (5) years, commencing on February 1, 2008 (the “Commencement Date”) and ending at midnight on January 31, 2013 (the “Initial Term”).

2. Option to Extend Lease Term. Provided that Lessee is not in default with respect to any term or condition of this Lease, Lessee shall have the option to extend the Lease for two (2) additional five (5)-year terms, provided notice in writing shall be given to Lessor at least one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the end of the initial term of the Lease or any extended term thereof. The rental for the extension period shall be as provided below.

3. Rent. Lessee agrees to pay to Lessor, as rent during the Initial Term of this Lease and the first renewal term, the sum of Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000.00) per month (“Base Rent”), commencing on the Commencement Date and on the 1st day of each calendar month thereafter. Notwithstanding anything contained in the preceding sentence, unless and until Lessee defaults beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, with respect to any covenant or obligation set forth in this Lease or in the Business Note (the “Note”), executed on even date herewith by and between Lessee and Lessor, Lessee’s obligation to pay rent from the Commencement Date up through and including January 31, 2010, shall abate (the “Rental Abatement Period”).

In the event that Lessee defaults, with respect to any covenant or obligation set forth in this Lease or in the Note during the Rental Abatement Period, which such default is not cured within fourteen (14) days of Lessor’s written notice to Lessee (the “Notice Period”), then this Lease shall terminate on the last day of the Notice Period and all Base Rent that would have been due to Lessor from Lessee during the Rental Abatement Period shall be immediately due and payable.

In the event that Lessee defaults with respect to any covenant or obligation set forth in the Note during the Rental Abatement Period and such default is cured during the Notice Period, then this Lease will not terminate, but the rental abatement shall be revoked retroactive to the Commencement Date. Thereafter, Lessee’s Base Rent shall be increased to an amount equal to the total of Lessee’s Base Rent that would have been due during the Rental Abatement Period but for the abatement of such Base Rent, plus the total of all Base Rent due throughout the balance of the Initial Term of this Lease divided by the number of months remaining in the Initial Term of this Lease. Said increased Base Rent shall be due and payable on the first day of the first month immediately after the end of the Notice Period, during which Lessee’s default was cured, and, thereafter, on the first day of each month thereafter throughout the balance of the Initial Term. During the first renewal term, however, Lessee’s Base Rent shall be reduced to Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000.00) per month payable on the first day of the first month of the first renewal term and on the same day of each successive month thereafter.

 
J-2


In the event that Lessee shall exercise Lessee’s option to renew this Lease for a second renewal term, then Lessee’s monthly rental obligation, throughout the entire second renewal term, shall be equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the prevailing market rate for commercial premises of like kind construction, design, use, and location (the “Prevailing Market Rate”). For purposes of this Lease, the Prevailing Market Rate shall be determined, as of the first day of the second renewal term, by the written mutual agreement of Lessor and Lessee. In the event that Lessee and Lessor have not mutually agreed as to the Prevailing Market Rate by a date that is forty-five (45) days prior to the first day of the second renewal term, then Lessor shall, at Lessor’s expense, obtain an independent written determination of the Prevailing Market Rate from a qualified commercial real estate broker familiar with the Premises and commercial real estate, in general, in Outagamie County, Wisconsin. Lessee shall also, at Lessee’s expense, obtain an independent written determination of the Prevailing Market Rate from a qualified commercial real estate broker familiar with the Premises and commercial real estate, in general, in Outagamie County, Wisconsin. If the two (2) opinions are within ten percent (10%) of each other, determined according to ten percent (10%) of the higher of the two (2) opinions, then the Prevailing Market Rate shall be equal to the average of the two (2) opinions. If the two (2) opinions are not within ten percent (10%) of each other, determined according to ten percent (10%) of the higher of the two (2) opinions, and Lessor and Lessee are still unable to agree as to the Prevailing Market Rate, then the two (2) commercial real estate brokers shall appoint a third qualified commercial real estate broker familiar with the Premises and commercial real estate, in general, in Outagamie County, Wisconsin, the expense of which shall be divided equally between Lessor and Lessee, and the opinion of the third commercial real estate broker shall be the Prevailing Market Rate.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 3 to the contrary, for any month during the second renewal term during which Lessee’s Base Rent is in dispute and subject to the dispute resolution process set forth above, Lessee’s monthly rental obligation shall be Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000.00) subject to adjustment, upward or downward, upon the determination of Lessee’s Base Rent due and owing throughout the second renewal term. Any such adjustment shall be made to the first and, if necessary, second Base Rent payments due immediately after the final second renewal term Base Rent determination.

4. Charge for Late Rent. Any rent not timely paid by or on the fourteenth (14th) day of any calendar month shall accrue a late charge of one and one-half percent (1-1/2%) for each month, or portion thereof, that such rent remains unpaid.

5. Security Deposit. Upon the execution of this Lease, Lessee shall pay a security deposit of Fourteen Thousand Dollars ($14,000.00) to be held by Lessor to secure Lessee’s performance of Lessee’s obligations and protect Lessor’s rights under this Lease, which sum shall be refunded to Tenant within ten (10) days of the expiration of this Lease.

6. Use and Care of Premises. The Premises may be used for any lawful purpose and shall be kept in a clean and safe condition in accordance with local ordinances and lawful direction of proper authorities.

7. Structural Alterations or Additions. No structural alterations or additions shall be made by Lessee during the term of this Lease, in or to the Premises, without the prior written consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any alterations or additions to be made shall comply with appropriate building code and zoning ordinances. All additions or alterations as made shall, at the option of Lessor, become part of the Premises and property of Lessor or, upon termination of the Lease, Lessor may demand that Lessee remove the same and restore the Premises to a substantially similar condition they were in prior to Lessee’s occupancy, reasonable wear and tear, and damage caused by casualty, excepted. However, once Lessor agrees that an alteration shall become part f the Premises and the property of Lessor, Lessee shall have no obligation to remove said alteration.

 
J-3


8. Utilities and Services. Lessee shall pay all utility and service charges, including but not limited to, gas, water, heat, air-conditioning or electricity charges, used in the Premises, as the same shall become due.

9. Taxes. Lessee shall, during the term of this Lease, pay all real estate taxes levied in respect of the Premises, or any part thereof, whether assessed against Lessor or against Lessee. Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, an amount equal to one-twelfth (1/12th) of the real estate taxes levied in respect of the Premises. Said amount shall be calculated on the basis of the prior year’s real estate taxes and shall be payable, in advance, with each of Lessee’s monthly rental payments.
 
If the total of Lessee’s additional rent payments, relative to real estate taxes with respect to any tax year, is less than the actual amount of the Premises’ real estate taxes, then Lessee shall pay, within thirty (30) days of Lessee’s receipt of Lessor’s written demand, the difference between the total of Lessee’s additional rent payments, for the applicable year, and the actual real estate taxes due and owing with respect to the Premises.

If the total of Lessee’s additional rent payments, relative to real estate taxes with respect to any tax year, exceeds the actual amount of the Premises’ real estate taxes, then the excess shall be credited against Lessee’s obligation to pay real estate taxes for the Premises for the following year, or in the event this Lease has terminated, Lessor shall promptly refund such overpayment amount to Tenant.

In the event any special assessments, including specifically, but not exclusively, curb, gutter, paving, etc., are levied against the Premises and are not caused specifically by the actions of Lessee, then Lessor shall be responsible for the payment of said special assessments in full when levied or, if an alternative installment payment is available, at Lessor’s option, Lessor shall pay said special assessments over the installment periods.

The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that any structural alterations or additions are made to the Premises which increase the value of the Premises for purposes of real estate taxes or result in a special assessment being levied against the Premises, Lessee shall be responsible for the payment of said increase in said real estate taxes and/or said special assessment.

10. Repairs and Maintenance. Lessee shall keep and maintain the Premises in good condition and repair (except for reasonable wear and tear and damage by casualty), including, but not limited to, the heating, electrical, plumbing and air-conditioning systems exclusively serving the Premises, and shall replace all broken and cracked glass. Except as set forth below, Lessee shall also be responsible for repairing any damage caused to the Premises, whether directly or indirectly, during Lessee’s occupancy of the Premises.

Lessor has delivered the building in good repair and condition to Lessee, but agrees that Lessor shall be obligated to maintain such structural portions of the building (i.e., walls, roof and foundations) during the term hereof, provided that said repair is not due to the actions of Lessee in which event Lessee shall be responsible for such repair and maintenance.

If Lessee refuses or neglects to commence or complete repairs promptly and adequately, Lessor may, but shall not be required to do so, make or complete said repairs and Lessee shall pay the reasonable third-party costs thereof to Lessor within ten (10) days written demand therefore.. Lessee shall comply with the directions of proper public officers as to the maintenance of the Premises and shall comply with all health and police regulations applicable to or affecting the Premises.

 
J-4


Lessee shall undertake appropriate measures to maintain the Premises in a sanitary condition and free from rodents and/or pests.

Lessee shall be responsible for snow removal and lawn and landscape maintenance at the Premises.

11. Insurance.

A. Fire and Extended Coverage. Lessee shall carry fire and extended coverage insurance on the Premises during the entire term of this Lease in an amount equal to the full insurable value of the buildings and all additions or improvements made thereon by either party, written by a reliable insurance company or companies authorized to do business in the State of Wisconsin.

B. Liability. Lessee shall keep in force for the benefit of Lessor and Lessee comprehensive general liability insurance with minimum limits of liability in respect to bodily injury of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for each person and Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for each occurrence and, with respect to property damage, the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) for each occurrence.

C. Contents. Lessee shall keep in force for Lessee’s benefit a policy of insurance in broad endorsement form to protect damage to the contents on the Premises.

D. Waiver of Subrogation. Each party mutually releases and discharges the other, and its employees, from all claims and liabilities arising from or caused by any hazard covered by insurance on the Premises or covered by insurance in connection with property on or activities conducted on the Premises, regardless of the cause of the damage or loss.

This release is conditioned upon the inclusion in the policy or policies of a provision whereby any such release shall not adversely affect said policies or prejudice any right of the party releasing the other to recover through said policy. Each party agrees that such party’s insurance policy shall include such a provision so long as the same shall be obtainable without extra cost.

E. Certificates of Insurance. All Certificates of Insurance shall be deposited with Lessor. The policy or policies shall name Lessor and Lessee as insureds and shall bear endorsements to the effect that the insurer agrees to notify Lessor not less than thirty (30) days in advance of any modification or cancellation thereof.

Lessee agrees that no act or thing shall be done on the Premises which may void, or make voidable, any insurance on the Premises, or any part thereof.

12. Damage by Fire or Other Casualty. Damage not in excess of thirty-three and one-third percent (33-1/3%) of the Premises by fire or any other cause shall not terminate this Lease, but shall entitle Lessee to a pro rata abatement or reduction in rent payable to Lessor. Lessor shall proceed with due diligence to collect the proceeds of any available insurance, and rebuild or restore the Premises to at least as good a condition as existed immediately prior to the casualty.
 
 
J-5

In the event Lessor and Lessee mutually agree that it would be in their best interest to rebuild or restore the Premises, then Lessor shall proceed with due diligence to collect the proceeds of any available insurance and rebuild or restore the Premises to at least as good a condition as existed immediately prior to the casualty.

13. Lessor’s Right of Entry. Lessor may enter into and on the Premises, including any building or structure thereon, during Lessee’s normal business hours, and on twenty-four (24) hours prior notice, for the purpose of examining or inspecting the conditions thereof in order to exercise any right or power reserved to Lessor under the terms and provisions of this Lease.

14. “For Rent” or “For Sale” Signs of Lessor. Lessor may, within one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of any Lease term, if there has been no extension or renewal, place signs on the walls, doors or windows of the building on the Premises, advertising that the Premises are for rent or for sale, which signs shall remain thereon without hindrance or molestation by Lessee.

15. Restrictions Against Liens. Lessee shall pay and settle all expenses and liabilities arising out of or in any way connected with any and all construction, repairs, alterations or maintenance authorized by Lessee and approved by Lessor of any and all buildings on the Premises, and Lessee shall keep the Premises and the structures thereon free and clear from all liens of mechanics or materialmen, and all liens of a similar character, arising out of or growing out of the construction, repair, alteration or maintenance of such structures.

16. Indemnity. Lessee assumes all risks and responsibilities for accidents, injuries, or death resulting from injuries or damages to person or property occurring in, on, or about the Premises. Subject to the waiver of subrogation set forth in Section 11D hereof, Lessee agrees to indemnify and hold Lessor, and Lessor’s members, officers, directors, employees, agents, and assigns from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from or in connection with, the condition, use, or control of the Premises, including the improvements thereon, during the term of this Lease and any renewal term. Subject to the waiver of subrogation set forth in Section 11D hereof, Lessee shall be liable to Lessor for any damages to the Premises, including the improvements thereon, and for any act done by Lessee or any employee or agent of Lessee, or any invitee or licensee of Lessee.

Lessee shall not suffer or permit any waste, or overloading, damaging or defacing of the Premises, or any uses thereof which shall be unlawful, improper or contrary to any law of the State of Wisconsin, or ordinance of the municipality, or rule or regulation of any public authority at the time being in force, or injurious to any person or property.

 
J-6


18. Assignment and Subleases. Lessee may not assign or transfer this Lease or sublease the whole or any part of the Premises, without the written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Lessee shall nevertheless remain primarily liable to Lessor for the payment of all rent and for the full performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Lease.

Lessor shall, however, have the right to sell or transfer the Premises, subject to all of the provisions of this Lease.

19. Compliance with Laws. Lessee agrees to observe and comply with all rules, regulations and laws now in effect, or which may be enacted during the continuance of this Lease, by any municipal, county, State or Federal authorities having jurisdiction over the Premises.

20. Lessee’s Default. This Lease is made upon the condition that Lessee shall punctually and faithfully perform all of the covenants and agreements by Lessee to be performed as herein set forth, and if any of the following events of default shall occur, to-wit:

A. The rent or any other sums required to be paid by Lessee hereunder, or any part thereof, shall at any time be in arrears and unpaid for fourteen (14) days after receipt of written notice of default from Lessor to Lessee; or

B. There be any default in the observance or performance of any of the other covenants, agreements or conditions of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed, and said default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from Lessor to Lessee (unless such default cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30) days and Lessee shall have commenced to cure said default within said thirty (30) days and continues diligently to pursue the curing of the same); or

C. Any proceedings in bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization shall be instituted against Lessee, and such proceeding is not stayed within 45 days of its commencement, pursuant to any federal or state law, or any receiver or trustee shall be appointed for all or any portion of Lessee’s business or property, or any final, non-appealable execution or attachment in excess of $500,000 shall issue against Lessee or Lessee’s business or property or against the leasehold estate created under this Lease or Lessee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or Lessee shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or Lessee shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy or petitions for (or enters into) an arrangement for reorganization, composition or any other arrangement with Lessee’s creditors under any federal or state law; or

J-7


then, and in any of said cases, Lessor, at Lessor’s option, may terminate this Lease and reenter upon the Premises and take possession thereof with full right to sue for and collect all sums or amounts with respect to which Lessee may then be in default and accrued up to the time of such entry, including damages to Lessor by reason of any breach or default on the part of Lessee, or Lessor may, if Lessor elects so to do, bring suit for the collection of such rents and damages without entering into possession of the Premises or voiding this Lease.

In addition to, but not in limitation of, any of the remedies set forth in this Lease or given to Lessor by law or in equity, Lessor shall also have the right and option, in the event of any default by Lessee under this Lease and the continuance of such default after the period of notice above provided, to retake possession of the Premises from Lessee by summary proceedings or otherwise (and it is agreed that the commencement and prosecution of any action by Lessor in forcible entry and detainer, ejectment or otherwise, or any execution of any judgment or decree obtained in any action to recover possession of the Premises, shall not be construed as an election to terminate this Lease unless Lessor expressly exercises Lessor’s option hereinbefore provided to declare the term hereof ended, whether or not such entry or reentry be had or taken under summary proceedings or otherwise, and shall not be deemed to have absolved or discharged Lessee from any of Lessee’s obligations and liabilities for the remainder of the term of this Lease) and Lessee shall, notwithstanding such entry or reentry, continue to be liable for the payment of the rents and the performance of the other covenants and conditions hereof and shall pay to Lessor all monthly deficits after any such reentry in monthly installments as the amounts of such deficits from time to time are ascertained and if, in the event of any such ouster, Lessor rents or leases the Premises to some other person, firm or corporation (whether for a term greater than, less than or equal to the unexpired portion of the term created hereunder) for an aggregate rent during the portion of such new lease coextensive with the term hereby created which is less than the rent Lessee would pay hereunder for such period, Lessor may immediately, upon the making of such new lease or the creation of such new tenancy, sue for and recover the difference between the aggregate rental provided for in said new lease or the portion of the term thereof coextensive with the term created hereunder and the rent which Lessee would pay hereunder for such period, together with any expenses to which Lessor may be put for brokerage commission, placing the Premises in tenantable condition or otherwise. If such new lease or tenancy is made for a shorter term than the balance of the term of this Lease, any such action brought by Lessor to collect the deficit for that period shall not bar Lessor from thereafter suing for any loss accruing during the balance of the unexpired term of this Lease.

In addition to all other sums due and owing from Lessee to Lessor, as the result of Lessee’s default in any term or condition set forth in this Lease, Lessee shall be responsible for and shall pay to Lessor all of Lessor’s costs and expenses, including actual attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lessor in enforcing Lessee’s obligations pursuant to this Lease. However, Lessor acknowledges that Lessor has a duty to mitigate Lessor’s damages in the event of a default by Lessee.

21. Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor agrees that if the rent aforesaid shall be paid as hereinabove provided and Lessee shall keep and perform the covenants of this Lease on the part of Lessee to be kept and performed, Lessee shall peaceably and quietly hold, occupy and enjoy the Premises during the term hereof, without hindrance or molestation by Lessor or any person or persons lawfully claiming under Lessor.

22. Lessor’s Remedies; Cumulative, etc. Each right, power and remedy of Lessor provided for in this Lease shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other right, power or remedy provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise by Lessor of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Lease or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Lessor of any or all other such rights, powers or remedies.

 
J-8


23. Waiver. Any assent, express or implied, by Lessor to any breach of any agreement or condition herein contained, or any waiver, express or implied, by Lessor of any such agreement or condition herein contained shall operate as such only in specific instances, and shall not be construed as an assent or waiver of any such agreement or condition generally or of any subsequent breach thereof.

24. Signs. Lessee shall have the right at all times during the term of this Lease, at Lessee’s sole expense, to erect, install, operate and maintain identifying signs on the Premises provided that, upon the removal of said signs, the Premises are restored to at least as good a condition as existed prior to their installation.

25. Hazardous Substances. Lessee shall not cause or permit any hazardous substances to be used, stored, generated or disposed of on, in or about the Premises by Lessee, Lessee’s agents, employees, contractors or invitees; provided, however, that Lessee may keep and use small quantities of hazardous substances as are necessary in the ordinary course of Lessee’s business, and further provided that Lessee shall handle, store, use and dispose of any such hazardous substance in accordance with applicable Federal, State and local laws and regulations, and in a manner which shall not cause contamination to the Premises.

Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from any liability, claim, demand, order or injury (including reasonable attorney, consultant and expert fees), arising from Lessee’s, or Lessee’s agents’, employees’, contractors’ or invitees’ handling, storage, disposal or release of any hazardous substance in, under or about the Premises, including, without limitation, the cost of any required or necessary repair, cleanup, remediation or detoxification of the Premises.

The foregoing covenants and indemnification shall survive the expiration of the term of this Lease.

The foregoing covenants and indemnification are cumulative to any rights or remedies which Lessor or Lessee may have at law or in equity, and shall not operate to limit such rights or remedies.

As used herein, “hazardous substance” means any substance that is toxic, ignitable, reactive or corrosive, and whose storage, handling, disposal or transport is regulated by Federal, State or local statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, and shall include any material or substance that is defined as “hazardous waste,” “extremely hazardous waste” or a “hazardous substance” pursuant to Federal, State or local statute, rule, regulation or ordinance, including, but not limited to, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (“PCBs”) and petroleum. In no event shall Tenant be liable or responsible for any environmental conditions or hazardous substances existing prior to the date of this Lease

26. Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration of the term, or after termination of this Lease, and without the execution of a new Lease, Lessee shall be deemed to be occupying the Premises as a lessee from month-to-month, subject to all the conditions, provisions, and obligations of this Lease insofar as they are applicable to a month-to-month tenancy. The inclusion of this paragraph or acceptance by Lessor of any rent after the expiration of the term or termination of this Lease shall not constitute permission for Lessee to hold over. Lessee expressly waives any requirement for Lessor to give Lessee any notice to quit the Premises, whether at the end of the term or during any hold-over period.

27. Eminent Domain. In case the Premises, or any part thereof, shall be taken by right of eminent domain, or by other authority of law, after execution hereof, and before expiration of said term, this Lease and said term shall terminate at the election of the Lessee; and if the Lessee shall not so elect, then in case of such taking, a just proportion of rent hereinbefore reserved, according to nature and extent of injuries sustained by the Premises, shall be abated until the Premises, or whatever may remain thereof, shall have been put in proper condition for use and occupancy. In case of any such taking, the total damages arising therefrom shall be recovered by Lessor, Lessee hereby assigning all rights in or to such damages to Lessor, and the net amount recoverable and recovered therefor shall be apportioned between Lessor and Lessee in such proportions as shall be reasonably determined by Lessor. It is the intention of the parties, in regard to distribution of damages or indemnity for taking by public authority, to appoint Lessor as the person to whom such damages or indemnity are to be paid, and to provide that such sums shall be distributed in the manner herein provided for.

 
J-9


28. Subordination. This Lease and all rights of Lessee hereunder shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any and all mortgages on the underlying financing of the Lessor which affect the Premises or any part thereof and to any and all renewals, modifications or extensions of any such mortgages. Conditioned on Lessee first receiving from any lien holder of the Premises an executed Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreement in form and content reasonably acceptable to Lessee(“SNDA”),Lessee shall on demand execute, acknowledge and deliver to Lessor without expense to Lessor any and all instruments that may be necessary or proper to subordinate this Lease and all rights therein to the lien of any such mortgage or mortgages and each renewal, modification or extension and if Lessee shall fail at any time to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such subordination instrument, Lessor, in addition to any other remedies available and consequence thereof, may execute, acknowledge and deliver the same as Lessee’s attorney-in-fact and in Lessee’s name. Lessee hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Lessor, Lessor’s successors and assigns, as Lessee’s attorney-in-fact for that purpose.

29. Notices. Any notice or other communication required by or permitted to be given in connection with this Lease shall be in writing, and shall be delivered in person or sent first class mail, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the respective parties at the addresses set forth below, or at such other address as may be specified from time to time in writing delivered by the other party:

Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of perfection of the Liens granted to the Senior Lender or Subordinated Lender, and notwithstanding any provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any state or any applicable law or decision or any provisions of the Subordinated Instruments, and irrespective of whether the Senior Lender or the Subordinated Lender holds possession of all or any part of the Collateral, the Senior Lender and the Subordinated Lender hereby agree that the Senior Lender shall have a first and prior Lien upon all Collateral, whether real or personal and whether now owned or hereafter acquired, of ISI, Borrower, and all of their Subsidiaries. The Subordinated Lender hereby agrees that it will not contest the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Senior Lender’s Liens in the Collateral. All proceeds of Collateral shall be first paid to the Senior Lender for application to the Senior Indebtedness until the Senior Indebtedness obligations are paid in full in cash and all commitments under the Senior Instruments are terminated. Any payments or Collateral received by the Subordinated Lender shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.5 of this Agreement. Subordinated Lender agrees not to acquire, by subrogation, contract or otherwise, any Lien, security interest or other right, title or interest in any of the assets of ISI or any of its Subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, any which may arise with respect to taxes, assessments or other governmental charges) which is or may be prior in right to, or pari passu with, the Liens held by Senior Lender.

2.3  Restrictions on Payments. Notwithstanding any provision of the Subordinated Instruments to the contrary and in addition to any other limitations set forth herein or therein, except as expressly permitted under this Section 2.3, no payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount due with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made, and Subordinated Lender shall not exercise any right of setoff or recoupment with respect to any Subordinated Indebtedness, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash. Prior to the date the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, Borrower may only make and Subordinated Lender may only receive the payments described on Exhibit A to the Subordinated Indebtedness; provided, however, that Borrower will not be permitted to make and Subordinated Lender shall not accept such payments if, at the time of such payment there exists, (w) a Senior Payment Default, (x) an Impairment Default and with respect to such Impairment Default, Senior Lender has given Subordinated Lender written notice (an “Impairment Default Notice”) of the existence of an Impairment Default, (y) there exists any Event of Default other than a Senior Payment Default or an Impairment Default (collectively, a “Non-Payment Default”) and with respect to such Event of Default Senior Lender has given to Subordinated Lender written notice (a “Default Notice”) of such Non-Payment Default; or (z) the payment would result in an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Agreement, including without limitation, a violation of any of the financial covenants contained therein. No payment shall be made or received during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date the date such payment is prohibited as provided above and ending on the date on which the Event of Default giving rise to the Payment Blockage Period is cured or waived by Senior Lender in writing. Following the expiration of any Payment Blockage Period, or the cure or waiver of any Senior Payment Default or Impairment Default, Borrower may pay and Subordinated Lender may receive any payments which were not made as a result of the foregoing so long as such payment would not result in an Event of Default under the Senior Loan Agreement.

K-6

 
2.4  Proceedings. In the event of any Proceeding (a) all Senior Indebtedness first shall be paid in full in cash before any payment of or with respect to the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made; (b) any payment which, but for the terms hereof, otherwise would be payable or deliverable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid or delivered directly to Senior Lender (to be held and/or applied by Senior Lender in accordance with the terms of the Senior Loan Agreement) until all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, and Subordinated Lender irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs all receivers, trustees, liquidators, custodians, conservators and others having authority in the premises to effect all such payments and deliveries and further irrevocably authorizes and empowers Senior Lender to demand, sue for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution; (c) Subordinated Lender agrees to execute and deliver to Senior Lender or its representative all such further instruments requested by Senior Lender confirming the authorization referred to in the foregoing clause (b); (d) Subordinated Lender agrees (i) not to waive, discharge, release or compromise any claim of Subordinated Lender in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness without the prior written consent of Senior Lender; and (ii) to take all actions as Senior Lender reasonably may request in order to enable Senior Lender to enforce all claims upon or in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness; (e) Subordinated Lender expressly consents to the granting by Borrower to Senior Lender of first priority liens on Borrower’s property in connection with any financing provided by Senior Lender to Borrower after the commencement of such Proceeding; and (f) Subordinated Lender agrees to timely execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness in connection with any such Proceeding and agrees to vote such proofs of claim in any such Proceeding in a manner which is consistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that Subordinated Lender will not vote in a manner which provides for less than full payment of the Senior Indebtedness or which is otherwise inconsistent with this Agreement.

2.5  Incorrect Payment. If any payment not permitted under this Agreement is received by Subordinated Lender on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, such payment shall be held in trust by Subordinated Lender for the benefit of Senior Lender and shall be paid over to Senior Lender, or its designated representative, for application (in accordance with the Senior Loan Agreement) to the payment of the Senior Indebtedness then remaining unpaid, until all of the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash. Except for any payment made by Subordinated Lender to Senior Lender pursuant to this Section 2.5, Subordinated Lender has no other payment obligation, duty or commitment with respect to the Senior Indebtedness.

K-7

 
2.6  Sale, Transfer. Subordinated Lender shall not sell, assign, dispose of or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness unless, prior to the consummation of any such action, the transferee thereof executes and delivers to Senior Lender an agreement substantially identical to this Agreement, providing for the continued subordination and forbearance of the Subordinated Indebtedness to the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein and for the continued effectiveness of all of the rights of Senior Lender arising under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the failure to execute or deliver any such agreement, the subordination effected hereby shall survive any sale, assignment, disposition or other transfer of all or any portion of the Subordinated Indebtedness, and the terms of this Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of Subordinated Lender, as provided in Section 10 below.

2.7  Legends. Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, each of the Subordinated Instruments at all times shall contain in a conspicuous manner a legend stating substantially as follows:

“The obligations evidenced hereby are subordinate in the manner and to the extent set forth in that certain Subordination Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) created as of January 31, 2008, among, without limitation, Jeffrey Corcoran and Janell Corcoran (“Subordinated Lender”), ISI Controls, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership and LaSalle Bank National Association, a national banking association (“Senior Lender”) to the obligations (including interest) owed by ISI Security Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation to the holders of all of the notes issued pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated as of January 23, 2008, between ISI Security Group, Inc. and Senior Lender, as such Agreement may be supplemented, modified, restated or amended from time to time; and each holder hereof, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the provisions of the Subordination Agreement.”

2.8  Restriction on Action by Subordinated Lender.

(A)  Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash and notwithstanding anything contained in the Subordinated Instruments or the Senior Loan Agreement to the contrary, Subordinated Lender shall not agree to any amendment or modification of, or supplement to, the Subordinated Instruments as in effect on the date hereof, the effect of which is to (i) increase the rate of interest on or fees payable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (ii) accelerate the date of any regularly scheduled interest or principal payment on the Subordinated Indebtedness, (iii) shorten the final maturity date of the Subordinated Indebtedness, (iv) increase the principal amount of the Subordinated Indebtedness or (v) make the covenants and events of default contained in the Subordinated Instruments materially more restrictive.
 
K-8

 
(B)  Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, Subordinated Lender shall not take any Subordinated Collection Action during any Payment Blockage Period. If Subordinated Lender has commenced and is continuing to pursue any Subordinated Collection Action when a Payment Blockage Period is instituted, Subordinated Lender shall stay or cease any further Subordinated Collection Action until the Payment Blockage Period terminates. Subordinate Lender may pursue enforcement of the terms of any guaranty of the Subordinated Indebtedness by Argyle Security, Inc. even during a Payment Blockage Period.

(C)  Until the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, in cash, the Subordinated Lender agrees and confirms that the Subordinated Lender shall not take any action, judicial or otherwise, to repossess, dispose of, foreclose, realize upon, or otherwise exercise any rights the Subordinated Lender may have with respect to any Collateral securing the Subordinated Indebtedness or otherwise enforce any Lien securing the Subordinated Indebtedness, or any other rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral securing the Subordinated Indebtedness.

(D)  Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing clause (B), (i) Subordinated Lender may participate in any Proceeding not initiated by or at the request of Subordinated Lender or any other Persons acting in concert with Subordinated Lender and (ii) in the event the Senior Indebtedness is accelerated, Subordinated Lender may accelerate the Subordinated Indebtedness. If Senior Lender subsequently rescinds such acceleration, then all Subordinated Collection Actions shall likewise be rescinded or terminated, without prejudice to the rights of Subordinated Lender.

(E)  The Subordinated Lender agrees that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Subordinated Documents to which it is a party (including, without limitation, any so-called “integration” provisions contained therein), until the full and final payment in cash of the Senior Indebtedness, whether now or hereafter incurred or owed by the Borrower, nothing contained in the Subordinated Documents to which it is a party shall: (i) restrict or prohibit the Borrower or any Obligor from taking any action (including, without limitation, the incurrence of any lien or indebtedness, the making of any dividend, distribution, payment or investment, the sale, transfer or other disposition of any assets, or the consolidation or merger of any such Person) if such action is not so restricted or prohibited pursuant to the terms of the Senior Indebtedness; (ii) require the Borrower or any Obligor to take any action, cause the occurrence of any event, or cause to be obtained any condition or state of affairs if such action is not required to be taken, such event is not required to occur, or such condition or state of affairs is not required to be obtained pursuant to the terms of the Senior Indebtedness; (iii) prohibit or limit the existence of any condition or state of affairs or the occurrence of any event if such condition, state of affairs or event is not so prohibited or limited pursuant to the terms of the Senior Indebtedness; or (iv) result in any condition, event or state of affairs constituting a default or event of default under the Subordinated Indebtedness if such event or state of affairs does not constitute a default or Event of Default pursuant to the terms of the Senior Indebtedness. Subordinated Lender agrees that in the event Senior Lender forecloses or realizes upon or enforces any of its rights with respect to the collateral subject to Subordinated Indebtedness, or Borrower sells any such collateral or property in a transaction consented to by Senior Lender, Subordinated Lender shall, upon demand, execute such terminations, partial releases and other documents as Senior Lender requests in its reasonable discretion to release Subordinated Lender’s lien, if any, upon such property.

2.9  Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, Subordinated Lender shall be subrogated to the rights of Senior Lender to receive payments or distributions of assets of Borrower applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, and all other amounts payable in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payment or distribution to Senior Lender under the provisions hereof to which Subordinated Lender would have been entitled but for the provisions of this Agreement, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to Senior Lender by Subordinated Lender, as among Borrower and its creditors other than Senior Lender, shall be deemed to be a payment by Borrower to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.

2.10  Waivers. All of the Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement. Subordinated Lender expressly waives all notice of the acceptance by Senior Lender of the subordination and other provisions of this Agreement and agrees that Senior Lender has made no warranties or representations with respect to the legality, validity, enforceability, collectability or perfection of the Senior Indebtedness or any liens or security interests held in connection therewith. Subordinated Lender waives any notice of advances under the Senior Indebtedness or the creation of new or additional indebtedness under the Senior Instruments, it being understood that Lender may make advances under the Senior Instruments without notice to or authorization of Subordinated Lender, in reliance upon the subordination provisions contained herein. The Subordinated Lender agrees that Senior Lender shall be entitled to manage and supervise its loans in accordance with applicable law and its usual practices, modified from time to time as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, without regard to the existence of any rights that Subordinated Lender may now or hereafter have in or to any assets. Senior Lender shall have no liability to Subordinated Lender as a result of any and all lawful actions, which do not violate any express provision of this Agreement, which Senior Lender takes or omits to take (including, without limitation, actions with respect to the creation, perfection or continuation of liens or security interests, actions with respect to the occurrence of any Default under the Senior Loan Agreement, actions with respect to the foreclosure upon, sale, release or failure to realize upon, any collateral, and actions with respect to the collection of any claim for all or any part of the Senior Indebtedness from any account debtor or any other party), regardless of whether any such actions or omissions may affect Senior Lender’s rights to a deficiency or Subordinated Lender’s rights of subrogation or reimbursement. Senior Lender may, from time to time, enter into agreements and settlements with Borrower as they may determine, including, without limitation, any substitution of collateral, any release of any lien or security interest and any release of Borrower. Subordinated Lender waives any and all rights it may have to require Senior Lender to marshal assets. Subordinated Lender agrees that in the event Senior Lender forecloses or realizes upon or enforces any of its rights with respect. to the collateral subject to Senior Liens, or Borrower sells any such collateral or property in a transaction consented to by Senior Lender, Subordinated Lender shall, upon demand, execute such terminations, partial releases and other documents as Senior Lender requests in its reasonable discretion to release Subordinated Lender’s lien, if any, upon such property.

The Senior Indebtedness shall continue to be treated as Senior Indebtedness and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the holders of Senior Indebtedness and Subordinated Lender even if all or part of the Senior Liens are subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any Proceeding (or if all or part of the Senior Indebtedness is subordinated, set aside, avoided or disallowed in connection with any Proceeding as a result of the fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer provisions under the Bankruptcy Code or under any state fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer statute or if any interest accruing on the Senior Indebtedness following the commencement of such Proceeding is otherwise disallowed) and this Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of Senior Indebtedness or any representative of such holder.
