Section 1   Acquisition and Assumption.

 

(a)    On and as of the date hereof, each Owner hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to the Company all of its right, title, and interest in, to and under the assets of the Business identified on Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Acquired Assets”). On and as of the date hereof, the Company hereby accepts the foregoing assignment of each Acquired Asset.

 

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein (including on Exhibit B), the Acquired Assets shall not include, and the Owners shall not sell any of their rights, title or interest in and to any asset identified on Exhibit C attached hereto or any other asset that is not used primarily in the Business (the “ Excluded Assets ”).

(d)    (i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign any asset or any claim or right or any benefit arising under or resulting from such asset if an attempted assignment thereof, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third party, would be ineffective with respect to any party to an agreement concerning such asset, claim or right, or would in any way adversely affect the rights of either Owner or, upon transfer, the Company under such asset, claim or right. If any transfer or assignment by the Owners to the Company, or any assumption by the Company of, any interest in, or liability, obligation or commitment under, any asset, claim or right requires the consent of a third party, then such transfer or assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such consent being obtained. The Company agrees that neither Owner nor any of such Owner’s affiliates shall have any liability to the Company arising out of or relating to the failure to obtain any such consent or because of any circumstances resulting therefrom.

(i)    If any such consent has not been obtained prior to the consummation of this Agreement, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure such consent as promptly as practicable and Owners shall cooperate with the Company (at the Company’s expense) to structure a lawful and commercially reasonable arrangement under which (i) the Company shall obtain (without infringing upon the legal rights of such third party or violating any applicable law) the economic claims, rights and benefits (net of the amount of any related tax costs imposed on either Owner or any of their respective affiliates) under the asset, claim or right with respect to which the consent has not been obtained and (ii) the Company shall assume any related economic burden (including the amount of any related tax costs imposed on either Owner or any of their respective affiliates) with respect to the asset, claim or right with respect to which the consent has not been obtained.

 

(e)    The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that Owner makes no representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, with respect to any matter relating to this Agreement, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities, except that each Owner, severally and not jointly, hereby represents and warrants that (i) such Owner has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its provisions; (ii) all action on Owner’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of this Agreement has been taken; and (iii) upon such Owner’s execution and delivery, this Agreement will be a valid and binding obligation of such Owner, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (x) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (y) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

 

(f)    Subject to Section (6) hereof, without limiting the foregoing, each Owner hereby disclaims any warranty (express or implied) of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose as to any portion of the Acquired Assets.

(b)    In the event the amount of the Telecom Advance (as defined below) exceeds $1.5 million (the amount of such excess, the “ Excess Telecom Advance” ), then the principal amount of the Promissory Note shall be increased by the amount of the Excess Telecom Advance (and the Company shall deliver to Telecom an amended and restated Promissory Note reflecting such increased principal amount in exchange for cancellation of the original Promissory Note). In the event the amount of the Telecom Advance is less than $1.5 million (the amount by which the Telecom Advance is less than $1.5 million, the “ Telecom Advance Shortfall ”), then the principal amount of the Promissory Note shall be reduced by the amount of the Telecom Advance Shortfall (and the Company shall deliver to Telecom an amended and restated Promissory Note reflecting such decreased principal amount in exchange for cancellation of the original Promissory Note). The completion of the adjustment contemplated by this Section 2(b) shall in no way affect the enforceability of or Telecom’s rights under the Promissory Note unless and until the Promissory Note is exchanged for a duly executed amended and restated Promissory Note in accordance with this Section 2(b). As used in this Section 2(b), “ Telecom Advance ” means the sum of (i) the value of the tangible assets and software licenses purchased by Telecom (or by Alpha with funds advanced by Telecom) for the Business prior to October 1, 2004 plus (ii) the amount of funds expended by Telecom to purchase tangible assets and software licenses for the Business (or advanced by Telecom to Alpha to purchase tangible assets or software licenses for the Business) on or after October 1, 2004.

 

(c)    Within twenty (20) business days of the date hereof, Telecom shall deliver to the Company Telecom’s calculation of the Telecom Advance. In the event the Company objects in good faith to Telecom’s calculation of the Telecom Advance, then the Company shall notify Telecom of such objection in writing with 10 (ten) business days of receipt of such calculation and set forth the basis for such objection in reasonable detail (the “ Objection Notice ”). If the Company does not notify Telecom in writing of an objection within such 10 (ten) business day period, then Telecom’s calculation of the Telecom Advance shall be binding upon the parties hereto. If the Company does notify Telecom in writing of such objection in accordance with this Section 2(c), then the parties hereto shall use good faith efforts to resolve the dispute in respect of the calculation of the Telecom Advance. In the event the parties hereto are unable to resolve such dispute within ten business days of Telecom’s receipt of the Objection Notice, then the respective Chief Executive Officers of Telecom and the Company shall attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute, and if the dispute is not resolved within twenty (20) business days of Telecom’s receipt of the Objection Notice, then the parties hereto shall refer the dispute to an independent accounting firm (which shall not be the independent accounting firm of either of Telecom or the Company) designated by Telecom and reasonably acceptable to the Company, and the determination of such accounting firm shall be binding on the parties hereto. The costs of such independent accounting firm shall be borne by the party that is not the prevailing party (the prevailing party shall be the party whose calculation of the Telecom Advance is closest in amount to the calculation of the Telecom Advance that is ultimately determined by such accounting firm).
