THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), dated May 11, 2007, is entered into by and among Garth Luke (the "Seller"), Rainier Surgical Incorporated a Washington corporation (the "Corporation") and Rainier Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the "Buyer") and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Andover Medical, Inc. ("AMI").

W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS , the Seller owns 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, no par value (the "Stock"), of the Corporation; and

WHEREAS , the Seller wishes to sell and the Buyer wishes to purchase the Stock on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.               Sale and Purchase of the Stock .

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing (as hereinafter defined), the Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to the Buyer all shares of Stock owned by it, and the Buyer shall purchase from the Seller all such shares of Stock, which collectively constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation, all of which shall be transferred to the Buyer free and clear of all liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, liabilities and claims of every kind, except those contemplated by the terms of this Agreement or arising under applicable federal and state securities laws.

Section 2.               Closing .

The closing of the sale and purchase of the Stock provided for in Section 1 of this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Phillips Nizer LLP, 666 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York 10103-0084, within twenty (20) days of Buyer’s receipt of the Audited Financial Statements under Section 4(a)(ix) hereof, or at such other location as may be agreed to by the parties.  The deliveries to be made by each of the parties at the Closing are specified in Sections 12 and 13 below.

Section 3.               Purchase Price .

(a)            (i)  Subject to the provisions of Section 3(b) below, at Closing, in consideration for Seller’s sale and transfer of his shares of Stock to the Buyer, the Buyer shall pay and deliver to Seller and his designees set forth on Schedule 3(a)(i) an aggregate purchase price of Three Million Five Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($3,575,000.00) consisting of (i) Two Million Six Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($2,675,000.00) in cash (the "Cash Purchase Price"), and (ii) an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock of AMI (the

 

 

"Shares") equal in value to Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000.00) based on the average closing price of Common Stock of AMI for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending two (2) trading days before the Closing Date.  The total of the Shares and the Cash Purchase Price, after giving effect to any adjustment required pursuant to Section 3(c) herein, shall be referred to herein as the "Purchase Price."

(ii)            In addition to the Purchase Price, Seller and its designees set forth on Schedule 3(a)(ii) shall be entitled to receive earnout payments ("Earnout Payments") equal to ten percent (10%) of the Corporation’s Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") from the Corporation’s operations as they exist on the Closing Date on a stand alone basis before income taxes (without taking into account the Earnout Payments, if any), which Earnout Payments shall be payable annually for each of the 12 month periods in the fiscal years ended 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010.  The Earnout Payments, if any, shall be paid by Buyer within 15 days of Buyer’s receipt of the computation of the Corporation’s EBITDA prepared on a stand alone basis for the Corporation after giving effect to the Corporation’s disposition of all of the assets and liabilities associated with its Wright Medical division and the real property in which the Corporation is headquartered (collectively, the "Divestiture") in the relevant fiscal year, as determined by the Buyer’s independent auditors hereinafter referred to as "EBITDA".  As used herein, EBITDA shall specifically exclude any expenses of the Corporation attributable to corporate overhead.

(iii)           In addition to the Shares to be issued pursuant to (i) above, Seller and his designees set forth in Schedule 3(a)(i) shall be entitled to receive up to an aggregate of $555,000 of restricted shares of Common Stock of AMI ("Performance Shares") based on the average closing price of said Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the issuance of the Performance Shares if (1) (A) Seller and/or his designee, as the case may be, is employed by either the Corporation or the Buyer from the date hereof until the date on which the Performance Shares are to be delivered or (B) Seller and/or his designee, as the case may be, is terminated other than for "Cause" or resigns for "Good Reason" (each as defined in Seller’s or such designee’s Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 3(d)) (as Seller or such designee shall then be deemed to be employed for purposes of this provision), and (2) the Corporation’s business on a stand alone basis after the Divestiture achieves EBITDA targets (the "Targets") in each of fiscal years ended 2007, 2008 and 2009 as follows:

 

 

 

EBITDA

 

  • Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2007

 

$

1,000,000

 

  • Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2008

 

$

1,100,000

 

  • Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2009

 

$

1,150,000

 



 

In each of the said three fiscal years $183,333 of AMI’s Common Stock shall be issued if EBITDA Targets are met for such fiscal year.  In the event that either or both Targets are not met in any such fiscal year or years, the Performance Shares for such year or years nevertheless shall be issued if such shortfalls are made up by EBITDA figures in excess of the annual Targets in the following fiscal year or years (but only taking into account fiscal years through December 31, 2009 and only using such excess amounts to make up Target shortfalls once).  The Performance Shares shall be delivered by Buyer within 30 days of Buyer’s computation of Revenue and Net Income and a calculation of the amount required to be withheld with respect to such payment

2

 

 

(the "Required Withholding"). The Performance Shares shall not be delivered to Seller until Seller remits cash in an amount equal to the Required Withholding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if cumulative EBITDA for the three fiscal years ended 2009 is at least $2,925,000, Seller and his designees shall be entitled to receive $444,000 in the aggregate of restricted shares of Common Stock of AMI based on the average closing price of said Common Stock for the ten (10) consecutive trading days prior to the issuance thereof.

(iv)           Any computations of EBITDA shall be made by the independent auditors of the Buyer and shall be final and binding on all parties.

(b)            Escrow .  At Closing, the Buyer shall withhold from the Cash Purchase Price payment an amount equal to Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) (the "Escrow Amount"), and the Buyer shall deposit such amount at Closing directly into an escrow account, to serve as collateral security against the payment and performance of the Seller’s obligations with respect to (i) the Purchase Price adjustment provisions of Section 3(c) hereof and/or (ii) the indemnification provisions of Section 6(b) hereof.  The Escrow Amount shall be deposited by the Buyer with Phillips Nizer LLP as escrow agent ("Escrow Agent") to be held and released pursuant to the terms of the escrow agreement to be entered into by and among the Buyer, the Seller and the Escrow Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3(b) (the "Escrow Agreement").

(c)            (i) The parties hereto agree that the purchase and sale of the Stock shall be accounted for on the close of business on the Closing Date.  The Seller agrees to consult with Buyer on any material issues, events, conditions or contract prior to the Closing.  An adjusted Purchase Price (the "Adjusted Purchase Price") shall be calculated and agreed to by both the Seller and the Buyer which shall adjust the Purchase Price as follows.  The Purchase Price is based upon the Audited Financial Statements (defined in Section 4(a)(ix)) reflecting (A) accounts receivable of at least $1,100,000, (B) inventory of at least $873,000 and (C) EBITDA of at least $900,000, all as adjusted for the Divestiture.  The Seller shall deliver to Buyer, within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, and submit for Buyer’s review, an unaudited balance sheet effective as of the Closing Date as adjusted for the Divestiture ("Closing Balance Sheet"), prepared in accordance with GAAP, as historically and consistently applied to the Corporation and as used in preparation of the Audited Financial Statements (defined in Section 4(a)(ix)).  If the Closing Balance Sheet reflects (A) accounts receivable of less than $1,100,000, and (B) inventory of less than $873,000 as of the Closing Date, then the Cash Purchase Price shall be decreased by one dollar for each dollar of (A) accounts receivable less than $1,100,000, and/or (B) inventory less than $873,000.  In addition, if the Audited Financial Statements reflect EBITDA less than $900,000, the Cash Purchase Price shall be decreased prior to Closing by one dollar for each dollar of EBITDA less than $900,000, as adjusted for the Divestiture.

Buyer shall have the right, for a period of up to forty-five (45) days from receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet to review same.  If the Buyer wishes to dispute the Closing Balance Sheet, then the Buyer shall, within such forty-five (45) day period, deliver notice of such dispute to the Seller which notice shall contain an explanation of the Buyer’s dispute with the proposed Closing Balance Sheet.  If no such notice is received by Seller, a post closing adjustment shall be made to the Purchase Price and the post-closing adjustment shall be refunded to Buyer from the proceeds of the escrow account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.  If such a

3

 

 

notice is received by Seller, Buyer and Seller shall attempt, for a period of twenty (20) days after delivery of any such notice, to reach an agreement with respect to the Closing Balance Sheet at which time the post-closing adjustment shall be paid.  If the Seller and the Buyer and their respective accountants are unable to determine the matter by mutual agreement within such twenty (20) day period, then both parties shall cause the disagreement to be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth in Section 19 herein;

(ii) In addition to the adjustments to the Purchase Price set forth in (i) above, the Purchase Price may also be reduced by way of a delivery to Buyer from the Escrow Amount in the event that for the first full twelve (12) months from Closing EBITDA for the Corporation on a stand alone basis, as adjusted for the Divestiture is less than $1,000,000.  If Buyer is entitled to reduce the Purchase Price pursuant to this paragraph, the Escrow Amount shall be reduced by one dollar for each dollar that EBITDA for the 12 month period following the Closing is less than $1,000,000.

(d)            Employment Agreements .  As an additional and material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, at Closing, Garth Luke, Sue Beck and James Ort shall enter into an employment agreements (in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3(d)(i), (ii) and (iii) providing for, among other matters, (i) their current base salary, (ii) participation in the Andover Medical, Inc. Stock Incentive Plan and (iii) a non-compete period of two (2) years post-employment or three (3) years from the Closing, whichever is greater, to apply in the event of voluntary termination by the employee or termination for cause, during which the employee shall not engage in any activity competitive with the Corporation, and including customary provisions regarding employee’s non-solicitation of the Corporation’s personnel and non-interference with the Corporation’s relationship with its current vendors or customers.

(e)            Excluded Liabilities . As an additional and material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement, at Closing the Seller shall enter into the Bills of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreements (in substantially the forms attached hereto as Exhibit 3(e) ) providing for, among other matters, the assumption by Seller of certain of the Corporation’s liabilities existing as of the Closing Date (as reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet) and as set forth on Schedule 3(e) attached hereto, including the following: (A) existing bank loan F-250 in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $28,587.56; associated with the lease or ownership of a certain Ford truck, VIN # 1FTSW21P85EB71426; and (B) all obligations relating to the Corporation’s Wright Medical division (including, but not limited to, any real estate leasehold obligations) which shall be spun-off prior to the Closing Date as the Divestiture (collectively, the "Retained Liabilities").  Other than the Retained Liabilities, Buyer shall be solely responsible for all liabilities of the Corporation existing as of the Closing Date as set forth on Schedule 3(e) attached hereto and as confirmed on the Closing Balance Sheet.  Buyer shall also be responsible for all liabilities of the Corporation which accrue from and after the Closing Date.
