For the avoidance of doubt, by way of example, the Assumed Liabilities with respect to an Assumed Contract include (and the Excluded Liabilities exclude) any payment obligation that first becomes due and payable under an Assumed Contract after Closing or the Ukrainian Transfer (as applicable), other than any such payment obligation that arises out of, relates to or results from, directly or indirectly, any breach, tort, infringement or violation of Applicable Law at or before Closing or the Ukrainian Transfer (as applicable), even to the extent that such payment obligation may relate to activities under such Assumed Contract that are substantially performed before Closing or the Ukrainian Transfer (as applicable). However, if is unclear whether a particular liability or obligation relating to any Assumed Contract is an Assumed Liability or an Excluded Liability, the Parties shall cooperate with one another to determine and implement an appropriate strategy to resolve such liability or obligation (including, without limitation, defending against any Proceeding or other similar claim or action with respect to such liability or obligation) before either Party may avail itself of its rights and remedies pursuant to Article 7.

1.2 Sale and Purchase of Acquired Assets. Under and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby sells, conveys, transfers and assigns to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases from the Company, all of the Company’s right, title and interest in and to each Acquired Asset other than the Ukrainian Assets, which will be transferred to SPS International, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer (“SPS International”), pursuant to Section 5.16.

1.3 Excluded Assets. No Excluded Asset will be sold, conveyed, transferred or assigned to Buyer.

1.4 Assumed Liabilities. Under and subject to the terms of this Agreement (including Section 1.5), Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and satisfy when due all of the Assumed Liabilities other than the Ukrainian Assumed Liabilities, which will be assumed by SPS International pursuant to Section 5.16.

1.5 Excluded Liabilities. Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Buyer will not assume or be liable or obligated for, and the Company will remain liable and obligated for and will pay, perform and satisfy when due, each other Liability of the Company. The sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and purchase of the Acquired Assets does not include the assumption of any Liability related to any Acquired Asset, except to the extent Buyer expressly assumes such Liability under Section 1.4 (if at all).

1.6 Unassignable Contracts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (a) any Assumed Contract is not capable of being sold, conveyed, transferred or assigned in the absence of the approval, consent or waiver of any other Person (without breaching, violating, defaulting under, conflicting with, giving rise to or creating any right to accelerate, increase, terminate, modify or cancel any material right or obligation or creating any Encumbrance, other than a Permitted Encumbrance, under, such Assumed Contract) and (b) all necessary approvals, consents or waivers of any such other Person (including any party to such Assumed Contract) have not been obtained at or before Closing, then (1) Buyer hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform and satisfy when due the Liabilities of the Company under such Assumed Contract (but not such Assumed Contract itself) to the extent that such Liabilities would otherwise be an Assumed Liability, (2) the rights and benefits of the Company under such Assumed Contract or resulting therefrom (but not such Assumed Contract itself), to the extent that such rights and benefits would otherwise be an Acquired Asset, are hereby sold, conveyed, transferred and assigned to Buyer and (3) after Closing, the Company will, at the Company’s expense, use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in attempting to obtain such necessary approvals, consents or waivers and will promptly execute all documents reasonably requested or necessary to complete such sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of such Assumed Contract to Buyer if such approvals, consents or waivers are obtained. If, with respect to any such Assumed Contract to which the other party is a supplier or vendor, such necessary approvals, consents or waivers are not obtained and such sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment of such Assumed Contract to Buyer is not completed, then the Company and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to determine and enter into

replacement arrangements such that the Parties are situated as close as is reasonably possible to circumstances (financially and all other) as they otherwise would be had such sale, conveyance, transfer and assignment been completed.

ARTICLE 2
PURCHASE PRICE AND ADJUSTMENT

2.1 Purchase Price. Upon and subject to the terms herein, Buyer will pay to the Company the amount of $10,865,000.00 (the “Initial Purchase Price”), as such amount is adjusted pursuant to the terms herein (such amount, as adjusted pursuant to any term herein, is the final purchase price for the Acquired Assets and is referred to herein as the “Purchase Price”).

2.2 Payment of Initial Purchase Price at Closing and Related Payments. Upon and subject to the terms herein, at Closing and on the Closing Date, Buyer will pay the Initial Purchase Price as follows:

(a) Buyer will deposit into escrow with the Escrow Agent, the amount of $1,680,000.00 (the “Escrow Amount”), to be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement;

(b) Buyer will pay in full, on the Company’s behalf, the obligations necessary to cause the release of each Encumbrance to be released at Closing, as contemplated in Section 6.2(f), pursuant to the Lakeside Payoff Letter;

(d) Buyer will pay to the Company the remaining balance of the Initial Purchase Price (after making the payments in the preceding clauses of this Section), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account that the Company designates in writing at least two Business Days before the Closing Date.

2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) Buyer’s Preparation of the Statement. Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Company a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth, in reasonable detail, Buyer’s determination of Net Working Capital. The Company will assist Buyer and its representatives in all reasonable respects in preparing the Statement and will give Buyer and its representatives reasonable access at all reasonable times to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company and its Affiliates for such purpose and the other matters in this Section 2.3. Such 90-day period will be extended, to the extent of any unreasonable delay by the Company in providing such assistance or access. The final determination of Net Working Capital pursuant to this Section 2.3 is “Final Net Working Capital.”

(b) The Company’s Response to the Statement. The Net Working Capital in the Statement will become final and binding upon the Parties (and become Final Net Working Capital) 30 days after Buyer gives the Statement to the Company, unless the Company gives written notice, in reasonable detail, of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Buyer before the end of such 30-day period. The Company may give a Notice of Disagreement only if (1) assuming all of the Company’s assertions therein were sustained, the Purchase Price would be higher than if the Company had not given such Notice of Disagreement to Buyer and (2) such Notice of Disagreement states the Company’s determination of Net Working Capital. The only disagreements that may be stated in a

Notice of Disagreement are those that relate to any claimed inconsistencies between the principles used in preparing the Statement and the principles used in the calculation of Target Net Working Capital as shown in Exhibit 2.3(g) or errors in mathematical computation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3, no disagreement in a Notice of Disagreement may relate to the principles used in preparing the Statement or the calculation of Target Net Working Capital as long as such principles are also consistently applied to determine Net Working Capital. If the Company gives a valid Notice of Disagreement before the end of such 30-day period stated above, then Final Net Working Capital (as finally determined in accordance with clause (A) or (B) below) will become final and binding on the Parties upon the earlier of (A) the date the Parties resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to all items specified in such Notice of Disagreement or (B) the date any disputed items are finally resolved in writing by the Arbitrator pursuant to Section 2.3(c).

(c) Resolving Matters in Notice of Disagreement. During the 30-day period after a valid Notice of Disagreement is given, the Company and Buyer will attempt to resolve in writing any differences that they have regarding any item in such Notice of Disagreement. If, at the end of such 30-day period, the Company and Buyer have not reached agreement on all such items, then either Party may require that the items that remain in dispute be promptly submitted to an arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) for review and resolution. The Arbitrator will be a public accounting firm agreed upon by the Parties in writing; provided that the Arbitrator will not be an accounting firm used by either the Company or Buyer (or any of either’s Affiliates) within the preceding three years for audit or valuation purposes. If the Parties cannot agree upon an Arbitrator within 15 Business Days after first attempting to do so, then the Arbitrator will be selected by lot from a list of four potential Arbitrators remaining after the Company nominates three, Buyer nominates three, and the Company and Buyer each eliminate one potential Arbitrator from the other’s nominations. The Arbitrator will determine procedures for such arbitration, subject to the terms hereof. The Arbitrator will only consider the items that remain in dispute. The Arbitrator will render a decision resolving such items in dispute within 30 days after completion of submissions to the Arbitrator. The Arbitrator will determine Final Net Working Capital solely based on submissions made by the Company and Buyer consistent with the terms hereof (and not by independent review). The Arbitrator will not assign a value to any item that is greater than the greater value for such item claimed by either the Company or Buyer nor less than the lesser value for such item claimed by either of such Parties.

(d) Allocation of Fees and Expenses. The Company and Buyer will each pay its own fees and expenses regarding such arbitration and half of the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator.

(e) Adjustment to Purchase Price Based on Final Net Working Capital. The Purchase Price will be, and automatically will be adjusted to be, the Initial Purchase Price, (1) increased by the entire amount, if any, by which Final Net Working Capital exceeds Target Net Working Capital, if Final Net Working Capital exceeds 105.0% of Target Net Working Capital or (2) decreased by the entire amount, if any, by which Final Net Working Capital is less than Target Net Working Capital, if Final Net Working Capital is less than 95.0% of Target Net Working Capital. However, if no such adjustment is required pursuant to this Section 2.3(e), then the Purchase Price will equal the Initial Purchase Price.

(f) Reconciliation Payment. Within five Business Days after Final Net Working Capital becomes final and binding on the Parties, the following will occur (with the payments in this Section below being made by wire transfer of immediately available funds):

(1) if the Initial Purchase Price (as paid at Closing) is less than the Purchase Price (as adjusted, if at all, under Section 2.3(e)), then Buyer will pay to the Company the amount of such difference, without interest; or

(2) if the Initial Purchase Price (as paid at Closing) is more than the Purchase Price (as adjusted, if at all, under Section 2.3(e)), then the Company will pay to Buyer the amount of such excess, without interest.

(g) Target Net Working Capital Defined. “Target Net Working Capital” means the amount of $15,000.00. The Parties’ calculation of Target Net Working Capital is attached in Exhibit 2.3(g). Exhibit 2.3(g) shall serve as an example and in no event will any amounts set forth on it be binding in connection with the determination of Final Net Working Capital.

(h) Net Working Capital Defined. “Net Working Capital” means an amount equal to (x) Acquired Assets that are current assets in the categories set forth on Exhibit 2.3(g) minus (y) Assumed Liabilities that are current liabilities in the categories set forth on Exhibit 2.3(g), in each case determined as of the Effective Time and in accordance with GAAP and the principles used in the calculation of Target Net Working Capital. The Parties agree that services provided to the Company before Closing but that become due and payable after Closing (e.g., telephone, Internet, VAN services, etc.) will be treated as trade accounts payable for purposes of Net Working Capital.

(i) Allocation of Purchase Price. Each Party will allocate the Purchase Price in accordance with Exhibit 2.3(i) and Applicable Law (including that each Party will cause each of its applicable Affiliates to do so). After Closing, the Parties will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, make consistent use of such allocation, as adjusted to reflect any, if any, adjustments needed to remain consistent with Final Net Working Capital and the resulting adjustment to the Purchase Price, for all Tax purposes. With respect to such allocation, as so adjusted, each Party will (1) be bound by such allocation, (2) act in accordance with such allocation in the preparation of all financial statements and the filing of all Tax Returns and in the course of any Tax audit, Tax review or other Tax Proceeding relating thereto, (3) take no position and cause its Affiliates to take no position inconsistent with such allocation for Tax purposes (including in connection with any Proceeding), unless in each case otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of section 1313(a) of the Code, and (4) not later than 30 days before the filing of its IRS Forms 8594 (whether initial or supplemental) relating to the transactions contemplated herein, deliver to each other Party a true, correct and complete copy of such IRS Forms.

The Company has no Liability (and, to the Company’s Knowledge, there is no reasonable basis for any present or future Proceeding against the Company giving rise to any Liability), except for any Liability (1) set forth on the face of the Annual Balance Sheet or the Interim Balance Sheet, (2) listed in Schedule 3.4(d), (3) that has arisen in its Ordinary Course of Business since the Interim Balance Sheet Date (which does not arise out of, relate to or result from and which is not in the nature of and was not caused by any breach of Contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement or other violation of Applicable Law) or (4) under this Agreement or any Ancillary Document or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or therein.

3.5 Taxes. The Company and its predecessors have filed or caused to be filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns that are due or that were required to be filed by, on behalf of or with respect to the

Company, its predecessors or any Affiliated Group of which the Company or its predecessors is or was a member, in each case pursuant to Applicable Law. The Company or one of its Affiliates has properly paid all Taxes owed by or with respect to the Company, its predecessors or any Affiliated Group of which the Company or any of its predecessors is or was a member that have become due, and made full provision for the payment of all Taxes of the Company, its predecessors or any Affiliated Group of which the Company or any of its predecessors is or was a member that will become due, with respect to all Tax periods that include any period of time on or before the Closing Date or pursuant to any assessment received by the Company, its predecessors or any Affiliated Group of which the Company or any of its predecessors is or was a member, except for any employment-related Taxes that are or are required to be accrued on the Records of the Company but are not yet due.

7.4 Certain Survival Periods.

(a) Survival of Representations and Warranties. Subject to Section 7.4(b), each representation or warranty herein will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect until the date that is 12 months after the Closing Date, at which time such representation or warranty will expire and terminate and no indemnification obligation will be associated therewith or based thereon, except that each Special Representation will survive until all Liability hereunder relating thereto is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation.

(b) Survival of Representations and Warranties Until Final Determination. Notwithstanding Section 7.4(a), for each claim for indemnification hereunder regarding a representation or warranty that is made before expiration of such representation or warranty, such claim and associated right to indemnification (including any right to pursue such indemnification, including via any Proceeding) will not terminate before final determination and satisfaction of such claim.

Each covenant and agreement (i.e., other than representations and warranties) herein, and all associated rights to indemnification, will survive Closing and will continue in full force thereafter until all Liability hereunder relating thereto is barred by all applicable statutes of limitation, subject to any applicable limitation stated herein.

7.5 Notice of Claims and Procedures.

(a) Notice of Claims. A Party entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Claiming Party”) will give the Party obligated to provide such indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt notice of any claim, for which such Claiming Party proposes to demand indemnification, (1) by a Person that is not a Party nor an Other Indemnified Person (such a claim being a “Third Party Claim” and such notice of such Third Party Claim being the “Initial Claim Notice”) or (2) that does not involve a Third Party Claim, in each case specifying the amount and nature of such claim (to the extent known). Thereafter, the Claiming Party will give the Indemnifying Party, promptly after the Claiming Party’s (or any of its applicable Other Indemnified Person’s) receipt or delivery thereof, copies of all documents (including court papers) received or delivered by the Claiming Party (or any such Other Indemnified Person) relating to any such Third Party Claim. The failure to promptly give such notice or to promptly give such copies will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder, except if the Indemnifying Party was prejudiced thereby, but only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that it was prejudiced thereby.

(b) Access and Cooperation. Each Party will, and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons to, cooperate and assist in all reasonable respects regarding such Third Party Claim, including by promptly making available to such other Party (and its legal counsel and other professional advisers with a reasonable need to know) all books and records of such Person relating to such Third Party Claim, subject to reasonable confidentiality precautions.

(1) Election to Conduct Defense. Promptly after receiving an Initial Claim Notice under Section 7.5(a), the Indemnifying Party will have the option to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, except if (A) the aggregate amount of the potential obligations of the Claiming Party (or its Other Indemnified Persons) regarding such Third Party Claim exceeds the maximum obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement regarding such Third Party Claim, (B) it is reasonably likely that such Third Party Claim will adversely affect the Claiming Party (or any of its Other Indemnified Persons), other than as a result of money damages, or (C) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide the Claiming Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to actively and diligently conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim and fulfill the Indemnifying Party’s indemnification obligations hereunder with respect thereto. To elect to conduct such Defense, the Indemnifying Party must give written notice of such election to the Claiming Party within 10 days (or within the shorter period, if any, during which a Defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights) after the Claiming Party gives the corresponding Initial Claim Notice to the Indemnifying Party (otherwise, such right to conduct such Defense will be deemed waived). If the Indemnifying Party validly makes such election, it will nonetheless lose such right to conduct such Defense if it fails to continue to actively and diligently conduct such Defense.

(2) Conduct of Defense, Participation and Settlement. If the Indemnifying Party conducts the Defense of such Third Party Claim, then (A) the Claiming Party may participate, at its own expense (except that the Indemnifying Party will be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Claiming Party’s counsel (but not more than one law firm per jurisdiction) if the Claiming Party reasonably concludes that counsel to the Indemnifying Party has a conflict of interest), in such Defense (including any Proceeding regarding such Third Party Claim) and will have the right to receive copies of all notices, pleadings or other similar submissions regarding such Defense, (B) the Indemnifying Party will keep the Claiming Party reasonably informed of all matters material to such Defense and Third Party Claim at all stages thereof, (C) the Claiming Party will not (and will cause its Other Indemnified Persons not to) admit Liability with respect to, or compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), (D) there will be no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and (E) the Indemnifying Party’s election to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim will conclusively establish the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Claiming Party with respect to such Third Party Claim hereunder.

(3) Indemnifying Party Does Not Conduct Defense. If the Indemnifying Party does not have the option to conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim or does not validly elect such option or does not preserve such option (including by failing to commence such Defense within 10 days following receipt of such Initial Claim Notice or within the shorter period, if any, during which a Defense must be commenced for the preservation of rights), then the Claiming Party may conduct the Defense of such Third Party Claim in any manner that the

Claiming Party reasonably deems appropriate, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the other limitations of this Article 7), and the Claiming Party will have the right to compromise or settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party.

7.6 Escrow. To secure the indemnification obligations of the Company under this Agreement, the Escrow Amount will be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to Section 2.2(a) and the terms of an Escrow Agreement in the form attached hereto in Exhibit 7.6 (the “Escrow Agreement”). Disbursements from the Escrow Account will occur pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. The Escrow Account will be the sole source of funds for such obligations; provided, however, that following complete exhaustion of the Escrow Account funds pursuant to the processes in the Escrow Agreement, Buyer and each of Buyer’s Other Indemnified Persons may seek payment or performance from either or both of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ solely in connection with any of the Special Representations of the Company.

7.7 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other term herein, other than as contemplated herein regarding the Arbitrator under Section 2.3 (which, for the avoidance of doubt does not preclude any remedy under this Article 7 for any breach hereof) and other than in connection with fraud, the sole and exclusive remedies of the Parties arising out of, relating to or resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement will be strictly limited to those contained in this Article 7.
