(g)          No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock .  Subject to Section 2.6, all consideration paid in respect of the surrender for exchange of shares of the Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to be full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of the Company Capital Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

The Company shall deliver to the Merger Sub and KIT a “ Revenue Statement ” for the Measurement Period prior to the Closing Date, which Revenue Statement shall be acceptable to KIT and Merger Sub as to both form and substance in their reasonable discretion.  In the event that the Revenue Statement is within five percent, positive or negative, of $1,575,000.00 (e.g. between $1,496,251.00 and $1,653,749.00) then there shall be no adjustment to the Primary Consideration. In the event the Revenue reflected in the Revenue Statement is equal to or exceeds five percent, positive or negative, of $1,575,000.00, then the Primary Consideration shall be adjusted, up or down, by the same percentage deviation from the Revenue amount of $1,575,000.00. For purpose of example only, if the final agreed Revenue Statement discloses Revenue of $1,732,500.00 (ten percent positive) then the number of shares issued by KIT for the Primary Consideration shall be increased by 94,836 shares (ten percent of 948,364 shares) .

 

(i)           NWC Statement .   Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to the Merger Sub and KIT a calculation of the August Net Working Capital (the “ NWC Statement ”).   The NWC Statement shall be prepared from the books and records of the Company and calculated in accordance with GAAP applied consistently with the preparation of the Company's historical financial statements and shall be subject to the approval of KIT and the Merger Sub, acting reasonably.

(b)          Procedures .  Prior to the Closing, each of the Participating Stockholders shall deliver to counsel for KIT Certificate or Certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock together with stock powers executed in blank, which Certificates shall be held in escrow pending the completion of the Closing.  If the Closing does not occur, the Certificates shall be promptly returned to the Participating Stockholders.  At and after the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate that represented issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as a stockholder of the Company, except for the right to surrender his or her Certificate in exchange for the Merger Consideration to be received by such Person, if any, and except as otherwise provided by applicable law, and no transfer of shares of the Company Capital Stock shall be made on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation.  KIT shall issue and deliver stock certificates for the Merger Consideration in the names of the Participating Stockholders as promptly as possible following the Effective Time, subject only to confirmation from the Nasdaq Global Market that the listing application for the KIT Shares to be issued to the Participating Stockholders under the terms of this Agreement has been approved.

(b)         Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.6(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw, waive, surrender or lose (through the passage of time, failure to demand or perfect or otherwise) the right to demand and perfect appraisal or dissenter’s rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, the shares of the Company Capital Stock theretofore constituting Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration per share payable in respect of such Company Capital Stock pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement upon surrender of the Certificate(s) representing such Company Capital Stock and delivery of a duly executed stock power, and any other items required by Section 2.5 or reasonably requested by counsel to the Surviving Corporation.
