Buyer’s obligation hereunder with regard to each Member is contingent and conditioned upon each Member fulfilling its respective conditions and obligations hereunder.
2.2 Purchase Price . The Purchase Price to be paid by the Buyer for the Membership Interests shall be as follows:
2.2.1 On the Closing Date (as defined herein), One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) via wire transfer to an account specified by the Members prior to Closing;
2.2.2 On the Closing Date, a senior secured promissory note (“ Note ”) in the principal amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) substantially in the form as set forth on Exhibit 1 and secured by a Security Agreement substantially in the form as forth on Exhibit 2 .
2.2.3 On the Closing Date, One Million Two Hundred Thousand (1,200,000) restricted common shares of Buyer (the “ Shares ,” including any additional shares issued pursuant to Section 2.2.3(a) below), subject to the following:
(a) Share Reset .
5
(i) On such date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date, Buyer shall determine the volume weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) of Buyer’s common stock for the preceding twenty (20) trading days (the “ Six Month VWAP ”). In the event that the Six Month VWAP is less than Two Dollars Fifty Cents ($2.50) per share, Buyer shall issue a number of restricted common shares in addition to the Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.2.3 above, as determined by the following formula:
600,000 x [$2.50 - Six Month VWAP] Six Month VWAP
By way of example only and not limitation, if the Six Month VWAP is $2.00, Buyer would issue 150,000 additional restricted common shares (600,000 x $0.50/ $2.00 = 150,000)
(ii) On such date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date, Buyer shall determine the VWAP of Buyer’s common stock for the preceding twenty (20) trading days (the “ Twelve Month VWAP ”). In the event that the Twelve Month VWAP is less than Two Dollars Fifty Cents ($2.50) per share, Buyer shall issue a number of restricted common shares in addition to the Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.2.3 , as determined by the following formula:
600,000 x [$2.50 - Twelve Month VWAP] Twelve Month VWAP
By way of example only and not limitation, if the Twelve Month VWAP is $1.00, Buyer would issue 900,000 additional restricted common shares (600,000 x $1.50/ $1.00 = 900,000).
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Six Month VWAP and/or the Twelve Month VWAP is less than Seventy-Five Cents ($.75) per share, the Six Month VWAP and/or the Twelve Month VWAP, as may be the case, shall be deemed to be Seventy-Five Cents ($.75) for purposes of calculating additional shares to be issued pursuant to the above formulae (the “ VWAP Collar ”).
(b) Trading Lockdown . The Shares will be subject to a lockup and share release schedule as set forth on Schedule B . Each of the Members will enter into a separate Lock-Up and Share Release Agreement (“ Lock-Up Agreement ”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3 . For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge and agree that any additional restricted common Shares issued pursuant to Section 2.2.3(a) above shall constitute Shareholder Shares (as defined in the Lock-Up Agreement) and shall, for the sole purpose of the Lock-Up Agreement, be treated as if issued as of the Closing Date; therefore, such additional Shares shall not be subject to any lockup or share release restrictions except as set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement or as required by law.
6
(c) Share Certificates . Buyer shall issue share certificates (“ Share Certificates ”) evidencing the Shares to the Members as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing. The Parties agree and acknowledge that the issuance of the Share Certificates by Buyer is not a condition precedent to the Closing.
2.2.4 An additional amount (t he “Earn Out ”) up to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) payable in cash following the expiration of the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on that date that is twelve (12) months from the Closing Date (t he “Earn Out Period ”) based on the Company achieving certain gross revenue performance milestones as further set forth on Schedule C , subject to the following:
(a) No later than sixty (60) days after the end of the Earn Out Period, Buyer shall notify the duly appointed agent of the Members (the “ Members’ Agent ”) in writing of its determination of the Earn Out, which shall set forth in reasonable detail Buyer’s calculation of the Earn Out, and shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by a senior executive of Buyer to the effect that the Earn Out calculation has been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in good faith (the “ Earn Out Determination ”). The Members’ Agent will notify Buyer in writing within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Earn Out Determination (the “ Earn Out Determination Dispute Period ”) if the Members’ Agent, in good faith, disagrees with Buyer’s calculation of the Earn Out as set forth in the Earn Out Determination (the “ Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice ”). The Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice, if any, shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement, the dollar amounts involved and Members’ Agent’s calculation of the Earn Out, and shall be accompanied by a certificate executed by Members’ Agent to the effect that the Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice has been prepared in good faith. Buyer will, upon the receipt of an Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice and a written request by the Members’ Agent, and subject to the execution by Members’ Agent of a customary confidentiality agreement, provide Members’ Agent and its representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to such books and records of the Company as are reasonably requested by Members’ Agent in connection with the Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice. If no Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice is received by Buyer from Members’ Agent within the Earn Out Determination Dispute Period, Buyer’s Earn Out Determination will be final and binding upon the Parties hereto and Buyer shall issue payment of such Earn Out within fifteen (15) days of the expiration of the Earn Out Determination Dispute Period.
Upon receipt by Buyer of the Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice, if any, the Parties agree to submit any disagreement with respect to the Earn Out in writing to a panel of two appointees, one appointed by Buyer and one appointed by Members, who shall promptly meet and confer in good faith in an effort to expeditiously resolve such dispute. To the extent such appointees are unable to resolve any disagreement with respect to the Earn Out within thirty (30) days after receipt by Buyer of the Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice, Buyer and Members’ Agent shall submit their dispute to a mutually acceptable nationally recognized public accounting firm with no material relationship to any Party as promptly as practicable. In the event that Buyer and Members’ Agent cannot mutually agree on an accounting firm, each of Buyer and Members’ Agent shall designate one such accounting firm, and the two accounting firms so designated shall mutually agree upon and appoint a third nationally recognized public accounting firm with no material relationship to any Party to review and resolve such dispute.
7
Buyer and Members agree that the determination of such accounting firm as to the computation of the Earn Out will be final and binding absent manifest error, and that judgment may be entered thereon in any court having jurisdiction over the Party or Parties against whom such determination is sought to be enforced. In resolving any disputed item, such accounting firm shall limit its review to matters specifically set forth in the Earn Out Determination and the Earn Out Determination Dispute Notice. The Earn Out as determined by such accounting firm in accordance herewith, or as otherwise agreed upon by Buyer and Members’ Agent, will be deemed the “ Final Earn Out Determination .” The fees and expenses of any accounting firm selected pursuant to and in accordance with this Section will be paid, in its entirety, by the Party hereto whose calculation of the Earn Out as initially submitted to such accounting firm is furthest away from the Final Earn Out Determination.
(b) Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the Earn Out in the event that Buyer terminates Hefter for Cause during the Earn Out Period. “Cause” shall have the meaning as defined in that certain Employment Agreement by and between Buyer and Hefter (the “ Employment Agreement ”) substantially in the form as set forth on Exhibit 4 .
2.3 The Closing .
2.3.1 Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth herein in writing executed by the Parties, the closing (“Closing”) shall be held by electronic transmission of documents and wire transfer, and will be effective as of 12:01 a.m., Pacific Day Time, on August 12, 2008, or on such other date as Buyer and the Members may mutually agree in writing (the “ Closing Date”). All transactions at the Closing shall be deemed to take place simultaneously, and no transaction shall be deemed to have been completed and no documents or certificates shall be deemed to have been delivered until all other transactions are completed and all other documents and certificates are delivered.
2.3.2 At the Closing, each Member shall execute and deliver such documents as are necessary to effect a transfer of his Membership Interest to the Buyer, and Buyer shall issue to the Members their pro rata portion of the Purchase Price as set forth in Section 2.2 .
2.4 Tax Consequences .

To the extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer is not presently aware of any deduction or withholding required in connection with the cash payments deliverable under this Agreement.
2.6 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action . If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest Buyer with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Company, the officers and directors of Buyer are fully authorized to take, and will take, all such lawful and necessary action, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.
