This Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”), dated as of September 17, 2008, is by and between Netcom Data Corp., a Georgia corporation (“Buyer”), and Net Com Data Corp of N.Y., a New York corporation (“NCNY”) and American Timeshare Associates, Inc. , a New York corporation (“ATA;” ATA and NCNY to be collectively referred to as “Sellers”).

 

RECITALS :

 

WHEREAS, NCNY is a party to an Independent Sales Organization Agreement dated on or about May 2, 1997, with Michigan National Bank (“MNB”), which agreement has been amended from time to time and provides for customers of Seller to utilize the merchant processing services offered by MNB and marketing of MNB’s merchant processing services by Seller to prospective customers (the “Seller Bank Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, NCNY previously assigned a portion of its rights in and to the Seller Bank Agreement to ATA; and

 

WHEREAS, Buyer entered into an Independent Sales Organization Agreement with MNB on or about February 2, 1995, which agreement has been amended from time to time and provides for customers of Buyer to utilize the merchant processing services offered by MNB and marketing of MNB’s merchant banking services by Buyer to prospective customers (“Buyer Bank Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, LaSalle Bank, N.A. (“Bank”) is the successor to MNB and was subsequently acquired by Bank of America Corporation.  Bank now offers merchant processing services through LaSalle Merchant Services, LLC, a Bank of America affiliate, and has requested the termination of many services currently provided by Buyer and NCNY under the Seller Bank Agreement and the Buyer Bank Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, at the Closing (as defined below), Sellers will assign all of their rights and obligations under the Seller Bank Agreement to Buyer and Buyer will purchase such rights and assume such obligations pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and, contemporaneously therewith, the Buyer Bank Agreement and the Seller Bank Agreement will be consolidated and modified by a Service Agreement to be executed by Buyer and Bank on or before the Closing (“New Service Agreement”), pursuant to which Buyer will perform certain services currently provided by NCNY under the Seller Bank Agreement and will receive all payments due from LaSalle Bank, N.A., its successors and assigns, under the Seller Bank Agreement as modified by the New Service Agreement.

 

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

 

1.            Purchase and Sale .  On the date of the Closing (“Closing Date”), the Sellers shall sell and the Buyer shall buy all of Sellers’ rights and obligations under the Seller Bank Agreement, as modified by the New Service Agreement (“Assigned Rights”), and Buyer shall accept such assignment and by its execution of the New Service Agreement will assume all obligations of

 

 

 


 

 

Sellers under the Seller Bank Agreement, as modified by the New Service Agreement (“Assumed Obligations”).  The Assigned Rights will be transferred by Sellers to Buyer free of all liens, claims, interests, or encumbrances.

 

2.            Purchase Price .  The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) will equal $2,275,000.00, in cash, plus 3,200,000 shares of United eSystems, Inc. (“United”) Common Stock (“United Stock”), subject to adjustment and payable as follows:  (a) $2,000,000.00 in cash (“Closing Payment”), payable by wire transfer within five (5) business days following the Closing; and (b) 2,850,000 shares of United Stock (“Closing Stock”) to be issued to Sellers within five (5) business days following the Closing.  Within five (5) business days after the Closing, Buyer will wire transfer an additional $250,000.00 (“Escrow Payment”) to Berenbaum, Weinshienk & Eason, P.C. (“Escrow Agent”), to be held in escrow pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement and will deliver to the Escrow Agent two certificates for 175,000 shares of United Stock each (“Escrow Stock”), issued in the name of Sellers.  The money and stock held in escrow by the Escrow Agent will be held pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement (“Earn Out Escrow Agreement”) executed contemporaneously herewith.  Buyer will be entitled to receive the entire payment from the Bank under the Seller Bank Agreement that is payable on or about September 20, 2008 and the entire amount of all subsequent payments even though all or a portion of such payment(s) is or may be attributable to a time prior to Closing.  Within five (5) business days after Buyer receives the September 20, 2008 payment, Buyer will pay Seller $25,000 (“$25,000 Payment”) of the cash Purchase Price.  The Closing Payment, Closing Stock, $25,000 Payment, Escrow Payment and Escrow Stock will be allocated 10% to NCNY and 90% to ATA.

 

3.            Earn Out and Escrow Release .  For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Base” will mean $109,613.00 (derived from Sellers’ Compensation Report for April 2008 from Bank of America); the term “Excluded Amount” will equal $5,480.00; and the term “Net Revenue” will mean the revenue Buyer receives under the Service Agreement that was attributable to the accounts under the Seller Bank Agreement.  For the six (6) month period commencing on the Closing Date, Buyer will compute the average monthly Net Revenue and add to that amount any cancellation fees that are collected in connection with contracts that are cancelled during such 6-month period and were subject to the Bank Service Agreement, in each case divided by the remaining number of months for each such cancelled contract.  This result, the Adjusted Net Monthly Revenue will be compared with the Base.  If the difference (“Difference”) exceeds the Excluded Amount, the six (6) month adjustment to the cash portion (“Cash Adjustment”) of the purchase price will be computed by multiplying the Difference by six (6) (annualizing by multiplying by 12 and dividing by 2 to adjust for the cash portion only).  The Cash Adjustment will be deduced from $125,000.00 (one-half of the cash held in escrow), and any resulting positive balance will be paid to Sellers by the Escrow Agent, with the Cash Adjustment to be paid by the Escrow Agent to Buyer.  In addition, the number of shares which will be returned to United at the end of such six (6) months (“Stock Adjustment”) will be determined by multiplying 175,000 shares by the Cash Adjustment for such six (6) months and dividing the result by $125,000.00.  If there is a Stock Adjustment, a certificate for 175,000 shares will be returned to United by the Escrow Agent and United will issue Sellers for such six (6) months a number of shares equal to 175,000 shares less the Stock Adjustment, with United retaining the Stock Adjustment portion of such shares.

 

For the six (6) month period commencing six months after the Closing Date, the Cash Adjustment and the Stock Adjustment will be similarly be computed and the amount of cash and stock held in escrow will be divided between Buyer (or United with respect to the Escrow Stock) and Sellers

in accordance with the same formula provided for above.  The Escrow Agent will deposit the cash held in escrow in a bank account mutually agreed to by Buyer and Sellers, and any interest earned on the funds held in deposit will be divided in the same proportion as the cash is paid out of escrow.  After the end of the second twelve (12) month period, the Purchase Price will be adjusted to reflect the total amounts of cash and United Stock paid to Sellers at the Closing and released to Sellers from escrow (excluding any portion of cash that was for interest earned).

 

4.            Assumption of Liabilities .  The Buyer (by its execution of the New Service Agreement) will fully and unconditionally assume the liabilities of NCNY under the Service Agreement and will not assume or be responsible for any other liabilities of either or both Sellers.

(b)            Authorization; Binding Agreement .  All necessary corporate actions to approve the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have been taken by Sellers.  This Agreement and the other agreements and documents executed and delivered by Sellers pursuant to the terms thereof constitute the valid and binding obligations of Sellers, enforceable against Sellers in accordance with their terms.

(d)            Financial Information .  The Sellers have delivered to Buyer Compensation Detail Reports (“Compensation Reports”) for the months from March 2007 through July 2008, reflecting revenues received and costs incurred by Sellers in connection with performance under the Seller Bank Agreement for the periods represented thereby.  Such Compensation Reports are true, correct, and complete in all material respects, fairly present the net revenues and costs for the periods covered thereby, and are in accordance with the books and records of Sellers.

 

(e)            Service Agreement .  Sellers hold all rights in and to the Seller Bank Agreement free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, security interests, and other interests of any kind whatsoever.  Upon Sellers’ execution and delivery of an Assignment assigning all of their rights under the Seller Bank Agreement and the Service Agreement to Buyer, the Buyer will have all right, title, and interest in and to the Sellers’ rights under the Seller Bank Agreement and the Service Agreement, free and clear of all liens, security interests, encumbrances, and other interests of any kind whatsoever.  Sellers have full power and authority to transfer the Assigned Rights to Buyer without obtaining any
