and agree to discharge and perform when due the liabilities and
obligations of Seller described in Section 2.2 (the
“ Assumed Liabilities ”). All other liabilities
and obligations of Seller are collectively referred to herein as

SECTION 2.2
Description of Assumed Liabilities . The following
liabilities and obligations of SPP (and only the following
liabilities and obligations) shall constitute the Assumed
Liabilities:

current copy of which is attached hereto behind
Schedule 2.2(a);
(b) any ad
valorem tax obligation assessed and/or payable on or after
January 1, 2007 with respect to the personal property of SPP
included in the Purchased Assets;
(c) all
liabilities and obligations (whether direct or indirect, matured or
unmatured, known or unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) of SPP for payment or performance arising on or after
the Closing Date pursuant to the contracts, agreements, Permits and
Authorizations which are assumed by Purchaser on the Closing Date,
but only to the extent such liabilities and obligations did not
arise out of a breach of such contracts, agreements, Permits and
Authorizations prior to the Closing Date;
(d) all
liabilities and obligations (whether direct or indirect, matured or
unmatured, known or unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise, whether now existing or hereafter arising) of SPP for
all vacation and sick leave that had been validly earned but not
used by SPP’s employees on or prior to April 30, 2007;
and
(e) all
liabilities and obligations (whether direct or indirect, matured or

by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall not create any third
party beneficiary rights.

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. All representations and
warranties of Seller and PHS, where applicable, are made subject to
the exceptions noted in the schedules delivered by them to
Purchaser concurrently herewith and identified by the parties as
the “ Disclosure Schedule ”. 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
