Item 6.    Contract, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
     Voting Agreements. On June 26, 2011, Mr. Alan R. Abrams, Mr. J. Andrew Abrams, Mrs. Ann U. Abrams and Abrams Partners (the “Voting Parties”) each entered into irrevocable Voting and Support Agreements with Scientific Conservation, Inc. (the “Voting Agreements”), in order to induce Scientific Conservation, Inc. to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Scientific Conservation, Inc., Scrabble Acquisition, Inc., and Servidyne, Inc., dated as of June 26, 2011 (the “Merger Agreement”), and to consummate an acquisition of the Issuer (the “SCI Merger”) pursuant thereto. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, until the earlier to occur of the consummation of the SCI Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement (the “Termination Date”), with limited exceptions, each Voting Party is restricted from transferring their respective shares of the Issuer’s securities or transferring the voting rights vested in such shares.
     Additionally, each Voting Party agreed that until the Termination Date, such party would vote its respective shares of the Issuer’s securities:
     (a) in favor of (i) the SCI Merger, the execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Merger Agreement and the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement, (ii) each of the other actions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and (iii) any action in furtherance of the foregoing;
     (b) against any action or agreement that would result in a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Issuer in the Merger Agreement, and
     (c) against any of the following actions (other than the SCI Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement): (i) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Issuer or any other entity being acquired in the SCI Merger; (ii) any sale, lease, sublease, license, sublicense or transfer of a material portion of the rights or other assets of the Issuer or any other entity being acquired in the SCI Merger; (iii) any reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Issuer or any subsidiary of the Issuer: (iv) any change in a majority of the board of directors of the Issuer; (v) any amendment to the Issuer’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws; (vi) any material change in the capitalization of the Issuer or the Issuer’s corporate structure; and (vii) any other action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the Voting Agreement.
     Contemporaneously with the execution of the Voting Agreements, the Voting Parties delivered irrevocable proxies to SCI and certain other named proxies granting the named proxies the authority to vote the shares owned by the Voting Parties consistently with the foregoing.
     As a result of these provisions, if the Board of Directors of the Issuer changes its recommendation to vote for the SCI Merger but the Merger Agreement is not terminated and a shareholder meeting is held to consider the SCI Merger, then the Voting Parties will continue to be obligated under the Voting Agreements to vote in favor of the SCI Merger.
     Abrams Partners. Abrams Management, as general partner of Abrams Partners, has the power to vote and dispose of the shares directly held by Abrams Partners. Actions of Abrams Management must be approved by a majority of the members of Abrams Management. Since Messrs. Alan R. Abrams and J. Andrew Abrams constitute the only two members of Abrams Management, their unanimous agreement is required for action by Abrams Management and Abrams Partners with respect to the shares directly held by Abrams Partners.
