(b)         Excluded Assets .  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not purchase, and Seller shall not be deemed to sell, Seller’s cash or cash equivalents (the “Excluded Assets”).

 

1.2        Assumption of Liabilities .  At the Closing, Buyer shall not assume, nor does Buyer agree to pay, any debts, liabilities or obligations of Seller of any kind whatsoever, except for Seller’s accounts payable as of the Closing Date as set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto in an amount not to exceed $80,798, that certain lease for Dell computer equipment requiring monthly payments after the Closing of approximately $200, and the liabilities arising from and after the Closing under the Assumed Contracts (the “Included Liabilities”).  In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall not assume, and the Included Liabilities shall not include, any liability for any accounts payable as of the Closing Date in excess of $80,798, any other liabilities reflected on the Balance Sheet, any obligations to pay or contribute any sums to any pension or retirement or similar plan, any compensation or severance or other benefits of any kind due to employees of Seller through the Closing Date (except as set forth on Exhibit C ) or as the result of the Closing, or any tax liabilities.  All of the foregoing, and any other liabilities of Seller, known or unknown, that are not identified herein as Included Liabilities, shall be the responsibility of Seller, and Seller and Stockholders agree to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless against any and all such liabilities, as provided in Section 5 below.

 

 

 


 

 

1.3        Closing .  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets (the "Closing") will take place on January 14, 2009 (the "Closing Date") at the offices of Parent, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.

 

(a)         Seller Deliveries .  Seller shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing: (i) a properly executed Bill of Sale in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D ; (ii) such other documents and instruments of conveyance of title, in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, sufficient to pass good and marketable title to the Purchased Assets to Buyer, free and clear of all liens or encumbrances of any type or nature other than the lien for personal property taxes not yet due and payable; and (iii) consents executed by all necessary parties to permit Buyer to assume the Licenses and Seller's interest in the Assumed Contracts.

 

(b)        Buyer Deliveries . Buyer shall deliver the Parent Shares (as defined in Section 1.4 below) to Seller immediately upon Parent’s obtaining stockholder authorization and regulatory approval to increase its authorized capital stock in an amount necessary to issue the Parent Shares but in no event later than March 31, 2009.

 

1.4       The Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Purchased Assets (the "Purchase Price") shall equal the sum of (a) 2,857,286 shares of Parent’s Common Stock (the “Parent Shares”), plus (b) assumption of the Included Liabilities. All property taxes and prepaid rent, license and registration fees with respect to the Purchased Assets, insurance premiums and similar items, other than the Prepaid Amounts, will be prorated as of the Closing.

1.6        Further Cooperation .  From time to time after the Closing, Seller and Stockholders at Buyer's request and without further consideration, agree to execute and deliver or to cause to be executed and delivered such other instruments of transfer as Buyer may reasonably request to transfer to Buyer more effectively the right, title and interest in or to the Purchased Assets and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action as may reasonably be necessary or appropriate in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)         Binding Obligation .  Seller and each Stockholder have all requisite corporate and other power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The Board of Directors of Seller has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and no other proceedings on the part of Seller or any Stockholder are necessary to authorize this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and Stockholders and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Seller and each Stockholder enforceable in accordance with its terms.  The execution, delivery and performance by Seller and each Stockholder of this Agreement do not and will not conflict with, or result in any violation of or default under (i) any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Seller, (ii) any provision of any ordinance, rule, regulation, judgment, order, decree, agreement, instrument or license applicable to Seller or any Stockholder or to any of its properties or assets, or (iii) any contract, agreement or instrument to which Seller or any Stockholder is a party.  No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, is required by or with respect to Seller or any Stockholder in connection with its execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.

 

(d)         Inventories .  All inventories included in the Purchased Assets have been or will be valued at the lower of cost or market in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied (“GAAP”), and consist of items of a quantity and quality that are usable or salable in the ordinary course of the Business.

(g)         Litigation .  There are no lawsuits, claims, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened by or against or affecting Seller, Stockholder or any of their properties, assets, operations or business that could in any way affect the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the value to Buyer of the Purchased Assets or Buyer's right to utilize the Purchased Assets.

(i)          Employee and Related Matters .  There are no employment-related claims, actions, proceedings or investigations pending or threatened against or relating to Seller before any court, governmental, regulatory or administrative authority or body, or arbitrator or arbitration panel.  Seller is not subject to any outstanding order, writ, judgment, injunction, decision, award, compliance order, consent decree, conciliation agreement, settlement agreement, affirmative action plan, determination letter or advisory of any court, governmental, regulatory or administrative authority or body, or arbitrator or arbitration panel.  No collective bargaining agreement is binding on Seller. Seller has not experienced any material work stoppage or other material labor difficulty.

 

(j)          Absence of Changes or Events .  Since September 30, 2008, the Business has been conducted in the ordinary course and there has not been any material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations, business or assets of the Business or the value or condition of the Purchased Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, since September 30, 2008 Seller has not, insofar as the Business or the Purchased Assets are concerned, acquired or agreed to acquire any assets which are material, individually or in the aggregate, to Seller, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practice; sold, leased or otherwise disposed of any of its assets which are material, individually or in the aggregate, to Seller, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with prior practice; or sustained any material loss or damage to its properties, whether or not insured.
