amended) in a transaction or series of transactions that result in
such person or group directly or indirectly first owning
beneficially more than 50% of any class of Numerex stock after the
date of this Agreement, (C) the consummation of a merger or
other business combination after which the holders of voting
capital stock of Numerex do not collectively own 50% or more of the
voting capital stock of the entity surviving such merger or other
business combination or the sale, lease, exchange or other transfer
in a transaction or series of transactions of all or substantially
all of the assets of Numerex or Acquiror or (D) as the result
of or in connection with any cash tender offer or exchange offer,
merger or other business combination, sale of assets or contested
election of directors or any combination of the foregoing
transactions (a “Transaction”), the persons who
constituted a majority of the members of the Board of Directors of
Numerex on the date hereof and persons whose election as members of
the Board of Directors was approved by such members then still in
office or whose election was previously so approved after the date
hereof, but before the event that constitutes a Change of Control,
no longer constitute such a majority of the members of the Board of
Directors then in office.
1.4
Adjustments to Transfer Price. The Transfer Price shall be subject to
adjustment as follows:
(a) In the
event indemnification is required pursuant to
Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement as a result of a
breach of any representation or warranty contained in
Article III, other than as set forth in (b) below, the
amount of such Losses (as defined in Section 8.2) shall be
offset against the Transfer Price, specifically, first against the
Numerex Stock delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(iii)
and second against the Numerex Stock delivered pursuant to
Section 1.3(a)(iv) .
(b) In the
event indemnification is required pursuant to
Section 8.2(a) of this Agreement as a result of a
breach by Transferor of the representation and warranty set forth
in Section 3.8 relating to undisclosed liabilities, the
amount of such Losses shall be offset against the Transfer Price,
specifically, first against the Numerex Stock delivered pursuant to
Section 1.3(a)(iii) , second against the Numerex Stock
delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) and third against
the Numerex Stock delivered pursuant to
Section 1.3(a)(iv) .
(c) As
provided in any agreement delivered pursuant to
Section 2.2..
(d) At
Closing, Transferor shall deliver to Acquiror a schedule of assumed
short-term and long-term debt obligations, which schedule shall be
subject to Acquiror’s approval and thereafter attached to
this Agreement as Schedule 1.4(d) .
(e) At
Closing, Transferor shall deliver a schedule as of the Closing Date
that shows the extent to which the trade payables and accrued
expenses assumed by Acquiror at the Closing hereunder exceed or are
less than the total of current and fixed assets (
“adjusted net worth test” ) as reflected on the
Transferor’s balance sheet on the Closing Date. For purposes
of calculating the adjusted net worth test, balance sheet items
shall be determined in accordance
-4-
with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles ( “U.S.
GAAP” ) consistently applied and fixed assets will be
deemed to include net tangible fixed assets and intangible assets
including Transferor owned software and trademarks up to an agreed
maximum value of $416,000. Also for purposes of calculating the
adjusted net worth test, the calculation of accounts payable and
accrued expenses shall include liabilities related to the sale of
goods and services in the ordinary course of business but shall
exclude all liabilities classified as debt obligations (whether
long- or short-term), which shall be listed on the schedule
delivered pursuant to Section 1.4(d) . At Closing, in
the event that the adjusted net worth test is a positive number,
then cash included in the current assets would be reduced (and cash
deliverable by Transferor to Acquiror at Closing would be
concomitantly reduced) to the extent necessary to reduce the
adjusted net worth calculation to zero. In the event that the
adjusted net worth test calculation at Closing yields a positive
number, but the Transferor’s cash balance is zero, the
Numerex Stock delivered pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(iii)
shall be increased by such remaining positive amount. In the event
that the adjusted net worth test calculation at Closing yields a
negative number, then the Numerex Stock delivered pursuant to
Section 1.3(a)(iii) shall be decreased by an amount
equal to such deficit. The Acquiror and Transferor shall agree to
the calculation of the adjusted net worth test at Closing and to
any necessary Transfer Price adjustments and shall attach such
calculation to this Agreement as Schedule 1.4(e) .
Forty five (45) days after the Closing Date, the parties shall
revise the adjusted net worth test, if necessary, based on updated
calculations as of December 31, 2005. Any adjustment to the
Numerex Stock based on such post-closing adjusted net worth test
shall be evidenced by a revised Schedule 1.4(e) signed
by both parties and the corresponding adjustment to the Numerex
Stock, if any, shall be made to the Numerex Stock delivered
pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(iii).
(f) Any
Transfer Price adjustment pursuant to Section 1.4 shall
be effected only by increasing or reducing the amount of Numerex
Stock held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as set forth
above.
(g)
Allocation of Transfer Price . The Transfer Price as finally
determined shall be allocated among the Assets acquired hereunder
as described on Schedule 1.4(g) . The Parties hereby
covenant and agree that they will not take a position on any income
tax return, before any governmental agency charged with the
collection of any income tax, or in any judicial proceeding that is
in any way inconsistent with the terms of this
Section 1.4(g) or Section 9.3 .
1.5
Assumption of Liabilities .
(a) At
the Closing, Acquiror shall assume and agree to pay, discharge or
perform, as appropriate, only the following liabilities and
obligations of Transferor (hereinafter the “Assumed
Liabilities”):

in Section 3.17 ) solely to the extent arising and relating
to periods from and after the Closing Date; and
(ii)
those other liabilities that are expressly set forth on attached
Schedule 1.5 .
-5-
Except
as expressly set forth in this Section 1.5(a) ,
Acquiror is not assuming any liabilities or obligations of, or
related to, Transferor or the Business, and Transferor agrees to
pay and discharge all such nonassumed liabilities and obligations
as and when the same become due and payable.
(b) Without
limiting the foregoing, unless set forth on
Schedule 1.5 , in no event shall Acquiror assume or
incur any liability or obligation under this
Section 1.5 or otherwise in respect of any of the
following:
(i)
any liability or obligation under any Assumed Contract (as defined
in Section 3.17) arising or relating to any period prior to

whether related to the Assets or otherwise, other than the Atigen
phone system lease;
(ii)
any indebtedness, whether related to the Assets or
otherwise;
(iii)
any breach of contract, product liability or similar claim,
regardless of when made or asserted, which arises out of or is
based upon any express or implied representation, warranty,
agreement or guarantee made by Transferor or alleged to have been
made by Transferor, or which is imposed or asserted to be imposed
by operation of law, to the extent in connection with any service
performed or product designed, sold, or leased by or on behalf of
Transferor on or prior to the Closing Date;
(iv)
any federal, state or local income or other tax (x) payable
with respect to the business, assets, properties or operations of
Transferor for any period prior to the Closing Date, or
(y) incident to or arising as a consequence of the
consummation by Transferor of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby;
(v)
any liability or obligation under or in connection with the
Excluded Assets;
(vi)
any liability or obligation to any employees, agents or independent
contractors of Transferor or under any benefit arrangement with
respect thereto;
(viii)
any customer claims, charge-backs, or related liability or
obligation attributable to periods and arising from sales of goods
or services occurring prior to the Closing Date not including
product returns in the ordinary course of business consistent with
past practice; and
(ix)
any liability or obligation of Seller arising or incurred in
connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and fees and
expenses of counsel, accountants and other experts.
-6-

connection with the liability to Motorola, Inc. disclosed on
Schedule 1.5 , Michael W. Lang, President of Transferor
(“Lang”) has executed a Guaranty of even date herewith
in favor of Motorola, Inc. (the “Guaranty”). Acquiror
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lang from any and all
claims, losses, damages, liabilities, expenses or costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of
investigation, penalties, interest and amounts paid in settlement
or otherwise incurred or to be incurred by Lang by reason of,
arising out of or related to the Guaranty. In the event that Lang
is required to pay any amount to Motorola, Inc. in connection with
the Guaranty, Numerex Stock held in escrow sufficient to cover such
amount paid by Lang shall be promptly released.
