ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE ASSETS

      Section 1.01. Assets . Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and on the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, and Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Purchaser, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of the properties, assets and interests in and to only the following assets of Seller (collectively, the “ Assets ”), free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances.

2


 

     Any other Liabilities of Seller shall not be assumed by Purchaser and shall remain the sole and exclusive responsibility of Seller.

      Section 1.03. Purchase Price . The aggregate consideration (the “ Purchase Price ”) to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Assets, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.04 , shall be equal to the sum of the following:

     (a) Closing Cash Payment . The aggregate cash amount to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the Assets (the “ Closing Cash Payment ”) shall be $179,858,285 (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.03(b) , Section 1.03(d) and any post-closing adjustment to take into account the items described in Section 1.04 hereof), plus interest thereon from July 1, 2008 until the Closing Date at an interest rate equal to eight and four-tenths of a percent (8.4%) per annum. The Closing Cash Payment shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller on the Closing Date provided that all required documents have been received by Purchaser and all other conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to close set forth herein have been met and fulfilled. In the event that Seller receives or has received, after June 30, 2008 (the “ Cutoff Date ”) and before the Closing Date, any payments under the Loan Documents and/or Lease Documents, Seller shall give Purchaser a credit for the amount thereof against the payment of the Closing Cash Payment. In addition, any security deposits and prepaid amounts paid by any Obligors to Seller and any broker/vendor net reserves and holdbacks and any suspense and unapplied cash shall be credited against the Closing Cash Payment and are reflected on the Disclosure Schedules. The Closing Cash Payment was calculated utilizing and based upon a spreadsheet of information on the Assets provided by Seller as of the Cutoff Date.

     (b) Additional Purchase Price Payment . In addition to the Closing Cash Payment, Seller shall be entitled to receive additional consideration for the sale of the Assets of up to a maximum of $6,000,000 determined and payable as follows:

     (i) Amount and Payment . The additional consideration shall be the positive amount (but not more than $6,000,000) by which $13,000,000 exceeds the Net Losses (as defined below) realized by Purchaser from Portfolio collections (exclusive of Taxes received) (“ Additional Purchase Price ”). The Additional Purchase Price shall be paid in monthly installments in an amount determined by multiplying (x) monthly Lease and Loan payments received by Purchaser (exclusive of taxes received) during the immediately prior month by (y) ten percent (10%) (or such higher percentage as shall become applicable under (b)(iii) below) but not in excess of the balance of the then outstanding and unpaid Additional Purchase Price. The Additional Purchase Price, if any, shall be paid in monthly installments commencing June 15, 2010 and on the fifteenth (15th) day of each calendar month thereafter until the first to occur of (i) the Net Losses exceeds $13,000,000, or (ii) Seller has received the maximum amount of Additional Purchase Price collectable as calculated in accordance with subsection (ii).

     (ii) Calculation . On or before June 10, 2010, Purchaser shall provide Seller with an initial calculation of the Additional Purchase Price for the period

3


 

commencing on the Closing Date through and including May 31, 2010 (the “ Initial Calculation ”). In the event the Initial Calculation indicates a positive difference resulting from the subtraction from $13,000,000 of the Net Losses realized by Purchaser from Portfolio collections (exclusive of Taxes) received, the Additional Purchase Price shall be calculated and payable as provided in subsection (i) above. In the event the Initial Calculation demonstrates that the difference between Net Losses and $13,000,000 is a negative number, then no Additional Purchase Price shall be payable hereunder.

     (iii) Monthly Reports. Purchaser shall thereafter provide, on or before the tenth (10th) day of each month thereafter, updated calculations of the Additional Purchase Price as of the last day of the preceding month until the right to receive the Additional Purchase Price has terminated under subsection (i). The ten percent (10%) referenced in (i) (y) above shall be reset monthly commencing July 10, 2010 to the greater of ten percent (10%) or the percentage that will equal the updated calculation of the Additional Purchase Price divided by the total Lease and Loan payments thereafter remaining to be paid (the “ Reset Percentage ”). The Reset Percentage shall be utilized in the calculation of the monthly payment for the applicable period. 

     (iv) Audit; Inspection Right and Dispute Resolution . From and after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall maintain its books, records, documents and other written evidence, consistent with its normal accounting procedures and practices, sufficient to accurately, completely and properly reflect the performance of and payments under all the Loans and Leases being purchased hereunder and the calculation of the Additional Purchase Price. Upon reasonable notice to Purchaser, Seller and its representatives will have the right, no more often than once a year and at Seller’s expense, to access, during normal business hours at the offices of the Purchaser, for the purpose of confirming, checking, reviewing, examining, auditing or verifying the accuracy of the Initial Calculation, the determination of the Net Losses, confirmation of the application of collection efforts by the Purchaser in accordance with the standards set forth in subsection (vi) below and the calculation of the Additional Purchase Price submitted to Seller pursuant to this Section 1.03(b) . In addition, Purchaser shall provide any document, record, data, or item of information reasonably requested by the Seller or its authorized representatives relating to the Loans and Leases and the calculation of the Additional Purchase Price. In the event Seller disputes the calculation of the Additional Purchase Price and the parties are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of the dispute, the parties shall promptly thereafter cause one firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to both of Purchaser and Seller (who shall not have any material relationship with Purchaser or Seller) to promptly review any and all documentation, information and calculations of each party relating to the Additional Purchase Price for the purpose of calculating and determining the Additional Purchase Price. Such independent accountants shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable (but in any event

4


 

within thirty (30) days after engagement by the parties), a report setting forth their calculation of the Additional Purchase Price, which shall be deemed to be the final determination of the Additional Purchase Price. Such report and calculation shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. The reasonable cost of such review and report shall, up to the first $25,000 of such cost, be split equally between Purchaser and Seller and Seller shall bear the cost of any excess above $25,000. Purchaser and Seller agree that each will cooperate with and assist the independent accountants as reasonably necessary in the preparation of the report and calculation of the Additional Purchase Price and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 1.03(b) , including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel. If it determined pursuant to this subsection (iv) that Purchaser owes Seller an additional amount to Purchaser for the Additional Purchase Price, then Seller shall remit such additional amount to Seller within five (5) days of such determination.

     (v) Interest . Any amount of Additional Purchase Price which is due and payable to Seller by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 1.03(b) shall bear interest at the rate of six percent (6%) from the Closing Date until paid. Such interest amount shall be calculated at the time of each calculation of Additional Purchase Price. Such interest (as from time to time recalculated) shall be added to and included in the Additional Purchase Price for purposes of determining the amount of the monthly payments of Additional Purchase Price hereunder.

     (vi) Collection Efforts . In connection with collection efforts relating to the amounts due by Obligors under the Portfolio, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make such collections, which efforts shall be consistent with the collection efforts and practices used by Purchaser in collecting under its own portfolios and industry standards

     (vii) Definition . For purposes of this Section, “ Net Losses ” shall mean losses realized under the Loans and Leases for an Obligor in the ordinary course of business for credit reasons; provided , however , that the term “Net Losses” shall not include any Indemnity Losses.

     (c) Originations between Cutoff Date and Closing . Purchaser shall also purchase from Seller, at Seller’s option exercised by written notice to Purchaser delivered no later than July 25, 2008, additional Loans and Leases (together with underlying equipment and other property covered thereby, the Loan Documents and Lease Documents relating thereto and all other right, title, interest and obligation of Seller in and to such Loans, Leases or related Loan Documents and Lease Documents, collectively the “ Additional Portfolio Assets ”)) originated by Seller between the Cutoff Date and July 25, 2008; provided , however , that such Additional Portfolio Assets shall comply with and be subject to the representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement, and Purchaser shall not be obligated to purchase Additional Portfolio Assets in excess of an aggregate $4,500,000 of the net funded amount with respect to the subject Loans and Leases of the Additional Portfolio Assets. The purchase price for the Additional Portfolio Assets purchased hereunder shall be a cash amount mutually agreed upon by Seller and

5


 

Purchaser which shall be between 85% and 95% of the net funded amount of each of the Loans and Leases included in the Additional Portfolio Assets. Such Additional Portfolio Assets shall be deemed included within the definition of Portfolio and in the definitions of Loans, Leases, Lease Documents and Loan Documents for all purposes of this Agreement and such purchase price payable for the Additional Portfolio Assets shall be added to the Purchase Price and paid as a part of the Closing Cash Payment.

     (d) Escrow and Incomplete Files .

     (i) To the extent there is an Incomplete File (as defined below) relating to any Loan or Lease to be purchased by Purchaser hereunder, the parties agree that each Loan or Lease relating to such Incomplete Files (each, a “ Holdback Transaction ”) shall nonetheless be transferred to and purchased by Purchaser at Closing provided that the portion of the Closing Cash Payment with respect to each Holdback Transaction shall not be paid to Seller at Closing, but shall instead be paid into escrow as provided below.

     (ii) For each Holdback Transaction, the portion of the Closing Cash Payment attributable thereto shall be an amount equal to the value of the applicable Holdback Transaction (which shall be the “net investment” amount reflected on the Disclosure Schedules) multiplied by seventy-seven percent (77%) (a “ Holdback Transaction Cash Payment ”), and the aggregate amount of the Holdback Transaction Cash Payments shall be paid at Closing into escrow (“ Escrow Amount ”), to be held in an interest-bearing account by a mutually agreeable independent institutional escrow agent (to be determined prior to Closing by the parties and approved by Purchaser’s financing source, Varde Investment Partners, L.P. (“ Escrow Agent ”). The Escrow Amount shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to an escrow agreement (“ Escrow Agreement ”) mutually agreed upon among the parties, Varde Investment Partners, L.P. and the Escrow Agent prior to Closing and containing the provisions set forth in subsections (iii) and (iv) below.

     (iii) The Escrow Agreement shall provide, among other customary terms and conditions, that if (A) Seller delivers to the Custodian as defined below) the applicable Missing File Item(s) (as defined below) from an Incomplete File with respect to a given Holdback Transaction and (B) the Custodian thereupon delivers a Custodian Receipt (as defined below) with respect to such Holdback Transaction to Purchaser, then the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the portion of the Escrow Amount that represents the applicable Holdback Transaction Cash Payment (plus interest earned thereon while in the escrow account).

     (iv) The Escrow Agreement shall terminate on the one hundred twentieth (120 th ) day after Closing (the “ Post-Closing Escrow Period ”). In the event that Seller is unable to deliver the applicable Missing File Item(s) for any Holdback Transaction during the Post-Closing Escrow Period, then, at Purchaser’s option, either:

6


 

     (A) Seller shall repurchase such Holdback Transaction from Purchaser, the Holdback Transaction Cash Payment with respect thereto (plus interest earned thereon while in the escrow account) shall be released by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser (it being understood that the release of such proceeds shall constitute the repurchase price for such Holdback Transaction), Purchaser shall deliver a Bill of Sale in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A transferring the Holdback Transaction to Seller along with the applicable Files and Records, and Purchaser shall pay to Seller seventy seven percent (77%) of any cash receipts paid by the applicable Obligor under such Holdback Transaction which were paid or credited to Purchaser at or subsequent to the Closing; or

     (B) Purchaser shall retain such Holdback Transaction, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall release to Seller the applicable Holdback Transaction Cash Payment (plus interest earned thereon while in the escrow account), and Seller shall indemnify Purchaser for any Indemnity Losses then or thereafter incurred by Purchaser as a direct result of the failure of Seller to deliver (x) the subject Missing File Item(s), or (y) a copy, if also missing from the Incomplete File, of the invoice, pay proceeds letter, dealer order or other analogous document indicating the related Financing Equipment was shipped to the Obligor (a “ Proof of Payment ”), and, in each case, such indemnification obligation shall continue until the Missing File Items and/or Proof of Payment, if applicable, are delivered to the Custodian and it delivers a Custodian Receipt to Purchaser with respect thereto;

provided , however , that, if the Escrow Amount at the end of the Post Closing Escrow Period is less than five percent (5%) of $179,858,285, then only the provisions of clause Section 1.03(d)(iv)(B) above shall apply to Incomplete Files, and Purchaser shall have no right to require Seller to repurchase such Holdback Transactions.

For purposes of this Agreement, an “ Incomplete File ” shall mean a Loan or Lease file as to which the Custodian Receipt does not reflect the existence of all of the documents referenced in subsections (i), (ii), (iv), (v) (to the extent that it relates to any guaranty of a Loan or Lease not included in subsection (i)) or (vi) of the “Specified Documents File” requirements set forth in Schedule 1 of the Custodian Receipt form attached hereto as Exhibit E, and a “ Missing File Item ” shall mean any such document that is missing from such file.

     (e) Assumption of Liabilities . Purchaser shall assume the Assumed Liabilities, as set forth in Section 1.02 .

     The Closing Cash Payment shall be paid at Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

7

Any Purchase Price Adjustment proposed by a party must be delivered within the Adjustment Period to the other party in writing (“ Adjustment Notice ”) setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Proposed Purchase Adjustment. In the event no Adjustment Notice is delivered by either party, then no Purchase Price Adjustment shall be made.

     (b) To the extent an Adjustment Notice has been delivered in accordance with Section 1.04(a) and the parties are unable to resolve any dispute relating to the proposed Purchase Price Adjustment within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Adjustment Period (a “ Dispute ”), the parties shall promptly thereafter cause one firm of independent accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to both of Purchaser and Seller (who shall not have any material relationship with Purchaser or Seller) to promptly review any and all documentation, information and calculations of each party relating to the Dispute for the purpose of calculating and determining the Purchase Price Adjustment, if any. Such independent accountants shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller, as promptly as practicable (but in any event within thirty (30) days after engagement by the parties), a report setting forth their calculation of the Purchase Price and the Purchase Price Adjustment, if any, which shall be deemed to be the final Purchase Price Adjustment. Such report and calculation shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller. The cost of such review and report shall be split equally between Purchaser and Seller. Purchaser and Seller agree that each will cooperate with and assist the independent accountants as reasonably necessary in the preparation of the report pursuant to this Section 1.04(b) and the calculation of the Purchase Price Adjustment and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 1.04 , including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

     (c) Payment by Purchaser or Seller.

     (ii) If the amount of the Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 1.04 decreases the amounts which should have been paid at Closing pursuant to Section 1.03(a) , Section 1.03(c) or subsequently paid pursuant to Section

8

The parties hereto intend that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets hereunder constitutes a true sale and assignment of the Assets such that any interest in the Assets would not be property of Seller’s estate in the event Seller or any affiliate thereof becomes a debtor in a case under any bankruptcy or other insolvency Law. Seller will treat the transfer of the Assets as a sale for accounting, tax and all other purposes, take no actions inconsistent with the Purchaser’s ownership of the Assets and on and as of the Closing Date indicate on its books, records and statements that the Assets have been sold, transferred, assigned and conveyed to the Purchaser. To the extent that the conveyance of the Assets hereunder is characterized by a court or similar governmental authority as a financing, it is intended by the Seller and Purchaser that the interest conveyed constitute, and it shall constitute, a grant of a first priority perfected security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure the Purchase Price

and, in such event, this Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” under all applicable law with respect thereto. Purchaser is authorized to file one or more Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or other evidences of its interests with respect to the Assets transferred hereunder meeting the requirements of applicable state law in such manner as necessary to perfect the sale of the Assets to Purchaser (and any continuation statements as are required by applicable state law).
