(v) all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all contracts, licenses and agreements of Seller relating to the SAP Practice that are transferable, including personal property leases, all contracts and agreements with customers and suppliers of Seller relating to the SAP Practice entered into in the ordinary course of business, including open orders) (the “Contracts”), including those described on Schedules 4.10 and 4.14 hereto;

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.
