(b) At

attached hereto as EXHIBIT A (the “Promissory
Note”) evidencing Purchaser’s subordinated obligation
to pay Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000) to Seller
under the terms thereof.
3
Section 1.6 Purchase Price Adjustments
(a) For
purposes of this Agreement, “Price Adjustment Amount”
means the amount (which may be positive or negative) by which the
Net Working Capital exceeds Two Million One Hundred Twenty One
Thousand and Three Hundred and Twenty Six Dollars ($2,121,326), the
calculation of which is reflected on Schedule 1.6
hereto (the “Target Working Capital”). “Net
Working Capital” means the amount by which (i) the
aggregate book value of all Current Assets of the SAP Practice
included in the Transferred Assets, net of applicable returns and
allowances, determined in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”)
(the “SAP Practice Current Assets”), exceeds
(ii) the aggregate book value of all Current Liabilities
included in the Assumed Liabilities, determined in accordance with
GAAP (the “SAP Current Liabilities”). “Current
Assets” shall mean the Accounts Receivable, Inventory and
Pre-Paid Obligations of the SAP Practice and included in the
Transferred Assets. Current Liabilities shall mean the accounts
payable, accrued expenses including billable and non-billable
expenses, and commissions of the SAP Practice and related equipment
leases expenses that are pursuant to Contracts of the SAP
Practice.
(b) Seller shall deliver to Purchaser not less than three
(3) days prior to the Closing an unaudited statement of
Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital
Statement”) setting forth the estimated Working Capital of
the SAP Practice as of the close of business on a date which is not
more than three (3) business days prior to the Closing Date
(the “Estimated Closing Date Working Capital”). If the
Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, as shown on the Estimated
Closing Date Working Capital Statement, is greater than Two Million
One Hundred Twenty One Thousand and Three Hundred and Twenty Six
Dollars ($2,121,326), which is the amount of the Target Working
Capital, then the Cash Purchase Price shall be increased on a
dollar-by-dollar basis by an amount equal to the amount which such
Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is greater than the Target
Working Capital. If the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, as
shown on the Estimated Closing Date Working Capital Statement, is
less than the Target Working Capital, then the Cash Purchase Price
shall be reduced on a dollar-by-dollar basis by an amount equal to
the amount by which such Estimated Closing Date Working Capital is
less than the Target Working Capital. The adjustment amount shall
be the Price Adjustment Amount and the Cash Purchase Price as so
adjusted by such amount shall be the Estimated Cash Purchase
Price.
(c) As
promptly as practicable after the Closing Date (but in no event
later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date), Seller, in
consultation with Purchaser, will prepare and deliver to Purchaser
a statement of Working Capital (the “Preliminary Closing Date
Working Capital Statement”) setting forth the Working Capital
of the SAP Practice as of the close of business on the day
immediately preceding the Closing Date prepared in accordance with
GAAP.
(d) If
Purchaser agrees with the Preliminary Closing Date Working Capital
Statement, then the Preliminary Closing Date Working Capital
Statement shall be deemed to be the Final Closing Date Working
Capital Statement (as defined in this Section 1.6(d)). If
Purchaser does not agree with the Preliminary Closing Date Working
Capital Statement, Purchaser will deliver to Seller a statement
describing the basis for any such claim within 30 days after
receiving the Preliminary Closing Date Working Capital Statement.
If Purchaser does not deliver such a statement, Purchaser shall be
deemed to have agreed to the Preliminary
4
Closing Date Working Capital Statement. Purchaser and Seller will
in good faith attempt to resolve any disputes themselves within ten
business (10) days of Seller receiving Purchaser’s
notice. If, however, Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve all
such disputes within such period, Purchaser and Seller agree that a
mutually acceptable, national accounting firm will be selected to
render an acconting interpretation, and such interpretation will be
conclusive and binding relative to the Working Capital Statement.
The interpretation of the accounting firm shall be set forth in
writing and delivered to Purchaser and Seller no later than ninety
(90) days after the Closing Date and will be conclusive and
binding upon Purchaser and Seller.. The term “Final Closing
Date Working Capital Statement” means the Preliminary Closing
Date Working Capital Statement, together with any revisions thereto
pursuant to this Section 1.6(d) and the term “Closing
Date Working Capital” means the Working Capital of Seller as
of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the
Closing Date as set forth on the Final Closing Date Working Capital
Statement.
(e) In
the event the parties submit any unresolved objections to
arbitration for resolution as provided in Section 1.6(d), each
of Purchaser and Seller will bear one-half of the fees and expense
of the arbitrator.
(f) Purchaser and Seller will make the work papers and backup
materials used in preparing the Preliminary Closing Date Working
Capital Statement available to the other and its accountants and
other representatives at reasonable times and upon reasonable
notice at any time during (i) the preparation of the
Preliminary Closing Date Working Capital Statement, (ii) the
review of the Preliminary Closing Date Working Capital Statement,
and (iii) the resolution by Purchaser and Seller of any
objections thereto.
(g) If
the Closing Date Working Capital, as shown on the Final Closing
Date Working Capital Statement, differs in amount from the
Estimated Closing Date Working Capital, as shown on the Estimated
Closing Date Working Capital Statement, then any reduction or
increase to the Cash Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.6(b)
hereof shall be recalculated as if the Closing Date Working Capital
shown on the Final Closing Date Working Capital Statement had been
used in determining such reduction or increase. If the Cash
Purchase Price determined pursuant to such recalculation exceeds
the Cash Purchase Price determined at the Closing, then Purchaser
shall, within three (3) business days after final
determination of the Closing Date Working Capital, pay to Seller,
in cash or immediately available funds, the amount by which the
Cash Purchase Price determined pursuant to such recalculation
exceeds the Cash Purchase Price determined at the Closing. If the
Cash Purchase Price determined pursuant to such recalculation is
less than the Cash Purchase Price determined at the Closing, then
the amount by which the Purchase Price determined at the Closing
exceeds the Cash Purchase Price determined pursuant to such
recalculation shall be deducted from the amount owed the Seller
pursuant to the Promissory Note.
(h) In
addition to the above Price Adjustment Amount, in the event any
Accounts Receivable in excess of the amounts reflected as reserved
in the Net Working Capital Statement for uncollectible accounts
remaining outstanding 120 days following the Closing, such
Accounts Receivable shall be deducted from the Purchase Price and
assigned by the Purchaser back to Seller, with Seller promptly
paying Purchaser the amount of such accounts receivables so
returned. Prior to assigning such Account Receivables back to
Seller, Purchaser shall use
5
commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with recognized
commercial and accounting procedures and practices to collect such
Account Receivables; provided however that Purchaser shall have no
obligation to file suit or take other legal action to collect such
Account Receivables. If in its attempt to collect such Account
Receivables Purchaser is offered an amount less than the full
amount due as payment in full, Purchaser must first obtain the
written approval of Seller before accepting less than full
value.
Section 1.7 Allocation of Purchase Price
The parties agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among
the Transferred Assets as determined by Purchaser in accordance
with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”) and the regulations thereunder.
Purchaser and Seller shall prepare and submit Internal Revenue
Form 8594 prepared in accordance with such allocation and this
Section 1.7, and Seller and Purchaser shall file all tax
returns consistent with this Section 1.7. A tentative
allocation is attached hereto as Schedule 1.7 , subject
to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.6.
