     SECTION 2.1 Agreement to Assume .

ARTICLE III
PURCHASE PRICE AND CLOSING

     SECTION 3.1 Purchase Price . The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (“ Purchase Price ”) is equal to the net book value of the Purchased Assets as reflected on the books and records of SPP as of April 30, 2007 less the amount of accrued vacation of all SPP employees as reflected on the books and records of SPP as of April 30, 2007, prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“ GAAP ”) consistent with past practices. Such value was equal to approximately $4,652,456 as of January 31, 2007 and will be subject to adjustments for inventory fluctuations and related prorations, if any. Taxes and assessments, if any, on the Purchased Assets shall be prorated at Closing, effective as of the Closing Date, utilizing the most recent tax/assessment information available to the parties. Prorations at Closing shall be deemed final.

     SECTION 3.2 Physical Count of Inventory . To assist with the determination of the net book value described in Section 3.1 above, a physical count of SPP’s Inventory shall be conducted by SPP on April 29, 2007, in the ordinary course of its business; provided, however, that both Purchaser and Seller (and their respective representatives or agents) shall be allowed, at their respective sole cost and expense, to inspect such physical count. SPP shall make its most currently available price list/file available to Purchaser in advance of a physical count of the Inventory so Purchaser can use the same to verify the net book value calculation.

     SECTION 3.3 Disputes Regarding Net Book Value Determination .

     (a)  Notice of Dispute . Purchaser and Seller shall have from the Closing Date until 5:00 p.m., Central time, on the date 30 days after the Closing Date (the “ Dispute Period ”) to dispute any elements of or amounts reflected in the calculation of the Inventory’s net book value, as calculated by Seller utilizing the physical inventory count provided for by Section 3.2 hereof, that affect the calculation of the Purchase Price (the “ Dispute ”), but only on the basis that the amounts reflected by SPP and used to calculate the Purchase Price are inaccurate or do not conform to the requirements of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 . If Purchaser or Seller do not give written notice of the Dispute that sets forth in reasonable detail the elements and amounts with which there is disagreement (a “ Dispute Notice ”) to the other parties hereto within the Dispute Period, Seller’s data shall be deemed to have been accepted and agreed to by the parties in the form in which it was delivered and shall be final and binding upon the parties. If a Dispute Notice is properly delivered hereunder, Purchaser and Seller shall use their best efforts to attempt in good faith to resolve the Dispute and agree in writing upon a final resolution of the Dispute within 30 days after delivery of such Dispute Notice.

     (b)  Arbitrating Accountant . If Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve each element of the Dispute within the 30-day period after receipt of a Dispute Notice, Purchaser and Seller shall jointly engage a nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that has not performed accounting, tax or auditing services for Purchaser, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates during the past three years as the arbitrator of the Dispute (the “ Arbitrating Accountant ”). If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the identity of the Arbitrating Accountant, Purchaser and Seller shall ask their respective independent accountants to select the Arbitrating Accountant. The Arbitrating Accountant’s function shall be to review only those disputed items included in the Consultant’s data and the application thereof to the calculation of the Purchase Price and to resolve such dispute(s).

     (c)  Dispute Resolution Mechanics . In connection with the resolution of the Dispute, the Arbitrating Accountant shall allow Purchaser and Seller to present their respective positions regarding the elements and data in dispute. The Arbitrating Accountant may, at its discretion, conduct a conference concerning the Dispute, at which conference Purchaser and Seller shall have the right to present

4


 

additional documents, materials and other information and to have present their respective advisors, counsel and accountants. In connection with the resolution of the Dispute, there shall be no other hearings or oral examinations, testimony, depositions, discovery or other similar proceedings. Each of Purchaser and Seller shall make available to the other party and the Arbitrating Accountant, as the case may be, such documents, books, records, work papers, facilities, personnel and other information as such party or the Arbitrating Accountant may reasonably request to review the calculation of the Purchase Price and to resolve the Dispute.

     (d)  Resolution of Dispute . The Arbitrating Accountant shall as promptly as possible, and in any event within 30 days after the date of its appointment, render its decision on the Dispute in writing to Purchaser and Seller together with a report including any revisions reflecting its decision. The Arbitrating Accountant’s decision shall be final and binding upon the parties and judgment may be entered on the award. The Arbitrating Accountant shall determine the proportion of its fees and expenses to be paid by the Seller and Purchaser, based on the degree to which the Arbitrating Accountant has accepted the positions of the respective parties.

     SECTION 3.4 Manner of Payment of Purchase Price .

     (a) Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price in full to Seller at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Seller’s written notice to Purchaser delivered at least two business days before the Closing Date.

     (b) Following the Closing, the Purchase Price is subject to being finally determined in accordance with the adjustments and procedures set forth in Section 3.1 , Section 3.2 and Section 3.3 . If the Purchase Price as finally determined exceeds the Purchase Price paid by Maxor at Closing, such amount shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller within two business days following the final determination of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Seller’s written notice to Purchaser. But if the Purchase Price as finally determined is less than the Purchase Price paid by Maxor at Closing, such amount shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser within two business days following the final determination of the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account specified by Purchaser’s written notice to Seller. Any payment pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be made together with interest on such payment from the Closing Date until the date of payment in full, at the short-term applicable federal rate.

     SECTION 3.5 Time and Place of Closing . The transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be consummated (the “ Closing ”) at 9:00 a.m., local time, at the offices of Irwin Merritt Hogue & Price, P.C., 320 S. Polk, Ste. 500, Amarillo, Texas 79101 on May 3, 2007, or on such other date, or at such other time or place, as shall be mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. The date on which the Closing occurs in accordance with the preceding sentence is referred to in this Agreement as the “ Closing Date .”

     SECTION 3.6 Allocation of Purchase Price . The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in the manner required by Section 1060 of the Code as shown on an allocation schedule to be agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller on or prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing, the parties will make consistent use of the allocations set forth in such allocation schedule for all purposes, including for purposes of any Tax Returns and any forms or reports required to be filed pursuant to Section 1060 of the Code (including Internal Revenue Service Form 8594), or any comparable provision of state, local or foreign law. As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Purchaser will prepare and deliver to Seller Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 reflecting the agreed allocation, to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Any subsequent adjustment to the Purchase Price will be allocated in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code. Purchaser and Seller agree that

5


 

the form of the transactions, the consideration provided for in this Agreement and the allocation of the Purchase Price as provided above were arrived at on the basis of arm’s length negotiation between Purchaser and Seller, and shall be respected by each of them and their respective Affiliates for federal, state, local and other tax reporting purposes, including filings on Internal Revenue Service Form 8594, and that none of them will assert or maintain a position inconsistent with the foregoing.

ARTICLE IV
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     SECTION 4.1 General Statement . The parties hereto make the representations and warranties to each other which are set forth in this Article IV . No specific representation or warranty shall limit the generality or applicability of a more general representation or warranty.

Each section of the Disclosure Schedule shall be numbered to correspond to the paragraph of Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 to which such section relates. No disclosure in any particular schedule in the Disclosure Schedule (including the listing of a document or item in any schedule or the inclusion of a copy thereof in the Disclosure Schedule) shall be adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty disclosed in any other schedules in the Disclosure Schedule unless the applicability of such disclosure to the other schedules is clear and obvious.

     (a)  Organization, Existence and Good Standing . Purchaser is a corporation duly organized, existing and in good standing, under the laws of the state of Texas.

     (b)  Power and Authority . Purchaser has full corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement and all other agreements, certificates, instruments and other documents to be executed or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “ Transaction Documents ”) by Purchaser. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement have been duly and validly approved by the board of directors of Purchaser. No other corporate proceedings are necessary on the part of Purchaser to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

     (c)  Enforceability . This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Purchaser and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be affected by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies. At the Closing, the Transaction Documents to be executed and delivered by Purchaser will be duly executed and delivered by duly authorized officers of Purchaser and will constitute valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except to the extent that enforcement may be affected by laws relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies.

     (d)  Governmental Consents and Conflicts . No consent, authorization, order or approval of, or filing or registration with, any governmental authority is required for or in connection with the

6


 

consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by Purchaser, nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any statute or administrative regulation, or of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or governmental authority or of any arbitration award binding on Purchaser or to which Purchaser is a party.

     (e)  Other Consents and Conflicts . Neither the execution nor delivery of the Transaction Documents by Purchaser, nor the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of Purchaser’s articles of incorporation or by-laws. Purchaser is not a party to any unexpired, undischarged or unsatisfied written or oral contract, agreement, indenture, mortgage, debenture, note or other instrument under the terms of which performance by Purchaser according to the terms of the Transaction Documents will be a default or an event of acceleration, or grounds for termination, modification or cancellation, or whereby timely performance by Purchaser according to the terms of the Transaction Documents may be prohibited, prevented or delayed.

     (f)  Brokers .
