2.4. Excluded Liabilities. Except as expressly set forth above in Section 2.2, Buyer is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of, or related to, Seller, the Assets or the Markets, and Seller agrees to pay and discharge all such non-assumed liabilities and obligations as and when the same become due and payable. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than the Assumed Liabilities, in no event shall Buyer assume or incur any liability or obligation under Section 2.2 or Section 2.3 or otherwise in respect of any of the following:


	(a)	any liability or obligation under any Contract arising or accruing or relating to any period prior to the Closing Date, whether related to the Assets or otherwise;


	(b)	except where otherwise provided, any indebtedness for borrowed money, whether related to the Assets or otherwise;

	(c)	any breach of contract, product liability or similar claim, regardless of when made or asserted, which accrued or which arises out of, or is based upon, any act, express or implied representation, warranty, agreement or guarantee made by Seller or alleged to have been made by Seller, or which is imposed or asserted to be imposed by operation of law, to the extent in connection with any service performed or product designed, sold, or leased by or on behalf of Seller on or prior to the Closing Date;

	(d)	any federal, state or local income or other Tax (i) payable with respect to the Markets, Assets, properties or operations of the Markets for any period prior to the Closing Date, or (ii) incident to or arising as a consequence of the consummation by Seller of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby;

	(e)	any liability or obligation to any employees, agents or independent contractors of Seller or under any benefit arrangement with respect thereto;

	(f)	any Subscriber or other customer claims, charge-backs, or related liability or obligations that are outside of those incurred in the Ordinary Course of business, and are attributable to periods and arising from sales of goods or services occurring prior to the Closing Date provided however that product returns in the Ordinary Course of business consistent with past practice of Seller and the Markets shall be assumed by the Buyer;

	(g)	any liability or obligation of Seller arising or incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and fees and expenses; and

	(h)	of counsel, accountants and other experts.

2.5. Procedures for Assets Not Transferable. If any Contract, permit, Asset or any other property or right included in the Assumed Liabilities or the Acquired Assets is not assignable or transferable without the consent of a third party, and such consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement and the related instruments of transfer shall not constitute an assignment or transfer thereof, and Buyer shall not assume Seller’s obligations with respect thereto, but Seller shall diligently use its best efforts to obtain such consent as soon as possible after the Closing Date. With respect to each such Asset, Contract, property or right for which a necessary consent has not been obtained (excluding nontransferable governmental Permits), Seller shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to otherwise obtain for Buyer, at no additional cost to Buyer, the benefits of such Contract, property or right until such consent is obtained.

ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE PRICE

3.1. Purchase Price. Provided that Seller delivers 392 Qualified Subscribers as of the Closing Date, in full consideration of the sale and purchase of the Assets as set forth herein, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to $196,000. The Purchase Price is calculated by the number of Qualified Subscribers as of the Closing Date, multiplied by the Individual Qualified Subscriber Value (the “Total Qualified Subscriber Value”). To the extent number of Qualified Subscribers as of the Closing Date exceeds 392, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the number of Qualified Subscribers greater than 392 multiplied by the Individual Qualified Subscriber Value. However, to the extent the number of Qualified Subscribers as of the Closing Date is less than 392, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the number of Qualified Subscribers multiplied by the Individual Qualified Subscriber Value. The Total Qualified Subscriber Value shall then be adjusted by the Purchase Price Adjustment as provided in Section 3.2, which final amount shall constitute the “Purchase Price”. The Purchase Price shall be paid in the following manner:


	(a)	Buyer shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price in common stock of the Buyer, with the price per share determined by a 30-day Volume Weighted Average Price Per Share (“VWAP Per Share”), ending with the day prior to any announcement of the transaction. The Purchase Price shall be calculated by the number of Qualified Subscribers determined by the Buyer on the day prior to Closing, multiplied by the Individual Qualified Subscriber Value (the “Total Qualified Subscriber Value”), less any Purchase Price Adjustments. The number of shares to be issued shall be determined by dividing the Purchase Price by the VWAP Per Share; and

	(b)	Buyer and Seller shall determine the Purchase Price, including all Purchase Price Adjustments arising under Section 3.2 and all proration adjustments pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent known or then subject to calculation, on the Closing Date, which estimate shall be provided by Seller to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval prior to the Closing. No later that the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall make any additional net adjustment by payment of one to the other to effect a final adjustment in the Purchase Price, which shall include a true-up of the Purchase Price determination based upon the actual number of Qualified Subscribers and finalization of the Purchase Price Adjustments.

3.2. Purchase Price Adjustments. The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment as follows (the “Purchase Price Adjustments”):


	(a)	To the extent there is a Net Working Capital Deficit as of the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, for every dollar of Net Working Capital Deficit at Closing;


	(b)	To the extent there is a Net Working Capital Credit as of the Closing Date, the Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, for every dollar of Net Working Capital Credit at Closing; and

	(c)	For the sake of clarity, to the extent the Closing Date occurs prior to the last day of the month, the recurring revenues and expenses for the month shall be divided pro rata between the Seller and the Buyer.

The indemnified party shall give prompt notice to the indemnifying party, in accordance with the terms of Section 12.6, of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, specifying with reasonable particularity the basis therefore and giving the indemnifying party such information with respect thereto as the indemnifying party may reasonably request (but the giving of such notice shall not be a condition precedent to indemnification unless the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced by the failure to give such notice). The indemnifying party may, at its own expense, (a) participate in and (b) upon notice to the indemnified party and the indemnifying party’s written agreement that the indemnified party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2 or Section 10.3 for Losses arising out of such claim, suit, action or proceeding, at any time during the course of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, that (y) the indemnifying Party’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified Party and (z) the indemnifying Party shall thereafter consult with the indemnified Party upon the indemnified Party’s request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim, suit, action or proceeding. If the indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the indemnified Party shall have the right (but not the duty) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the indemnifying Party. Whether or not the indemnifying Party

chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim, suit, action or proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. In the event that the indemnifying Party elects not to assume the defense of any claim, suit, action or proceeding, such election shall not relieve the indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder.

10.5 Settlement or Compromise. No Party shall settle or compromise any claim, suit, action or proceeding without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the indemnified Party or the indemnifying Party, as the case may be, of any such claim, suit, action or proceeding of the kind referred to in Article 10 shall also be binding upon the indemnifying Party or the indemnified Party, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6, all remedies at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise shall be cumulative and may be enforced concurrently or from time to time and, the election of any remedy or remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue any other available remedies.

12.10 Severability.

Neither the failure nor any delay by any Person in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise or such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of

any other right, power, or privilege. In addition, no course of dealing between or among any persons having any interest in this Agreement will be deemed effective to modify or amend any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any person under or by reason of this Agreement.
