     1.4 Other Terms . Other terms may be defined elsewhere in the text of this Agreement and shall have the meanings indicated throughout this Agreement.

ARTICLE II
THE TRANSACTION

     2.1 The Transaction . Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, each Member shall sell, transfer, convey, assign and deliver to Buyers, and Buyers shall purchase and acquire from each Member, all of such Member’s Equity Interest in Pueblo, including all of such Member’s Interests, free and clear of all Liens. The Interests to be acquired by Buyers at Closing shall constitute all of the outstanding Equity Interests in Pueblo.

     2.2 Consideration .

          (a) The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyers for the Interests shall consist of (i) Transaction Units and (ii) the Cash Amount (together, the “ Aggregate Consideration ”). The “ Cash Amount ” of the Aggregate Consideration shall be $34,735,049.00 (Thirty Four Million Seven Hundred Thirty Five Thousand Forty Nine and no/100 dollars) less (i) the sum of (A) the Debt Payoff Amount, (B) to the extent not paid prior to the Measurement Time, the Expenses, and (C) the Working Capital Deficit, if any, plus (ii) the Working Capital Surplus, if any. The Aggregate Consideration shall be payable in the manner described in Section 2.2(b) and Section 2.3 .

          (b) At the Closing:

                (i) (A) Pueblo Holdings shall pay to the Sellers’ Representative, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account designated in writing by Sellers’ Representative to Buyer at least two Business Days prior to Closing, an amount in Cash equal to the Estimated Cash Amount minus the Escrow Deposit and (B) the Partnership shall deliver to the Sellers’ Representative irrevocable instructions to the Partnership’s transfer agent to prepare and deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a share certificate in the name of each Member and in the amount set forth opposite such Member’s name as set forth on Schedule A ;

                (ii) the Partnership shall deposit with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Deposit to secure and be available to satisfy the rights of Buyers under Section 2.3(d)(i) ;

2


 

                (iii) to the extent unpaid, Pueblo Holdings shall pay to the payees of any Expenses by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Persons in the applicable Payoff Letters; the amounts specified in the Payoff Letters; and

                (iv) Pueblo Holdings shall pay to each holder of any Third-Party Debt, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by such Persons in the applicable Debt Payoff Letters, the amounts specified in the Debt Payoff Letters.

     2.3 Adjustments .

          (a) Preparation of Estimated Closing Statement . The Sellers’ Representative shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Pueblo Holdings, at least four Business Days prior to the Closing Date and at the sole expense of Sellers, a statement as of the Closing Date (the “ Estimated Closing Statement ”), setting forth a detailed determination of the Estimated Cash Amount. The “ Estimated Cash Amount ” shall be $34,735,049.00 minus (i) the sum of (A) the Debt Payoff Amount, (B) to the extent unpaid as of the Measurement Time, the Expenses, and (C) the estimated amount of Working Capital Deficit, if any, plus (ii) the estimated amount of Working Capital Surplus, if any. The Debt Payoff Amount and the Expenses shall be based on amounts set forth in the Debt Payoff Letters or the Payoff Letters, or, to the extent a Debt Payoff Letter or a Payoff Letter has not been provided for a Third-Party Debt or Expense, an estimate of such amounts, and in each case, shall be subject to final determination in the Final Closing Statement. Each estimation set forth in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be made as of the Measurement Time. Appropriate adjustments to the Aggregate Consideration Price shall be made after the Closing pursuant to Sections 2.3(b) , (c) , and (d) .

          (b) Preparation of Closing Statement . As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (and, in any event, within 90 days after the Closing Date), Pueblo Holdings shall prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative, at the sole expense of Pueblo Holdings, a closing statement as of the Measurement Time (the “ Proposed Closing Statement ”), setting forth the proposed final calculation of (i) Net Working Capital, (ii) Debt Payoff Amount, (iii) Expenses, and (iv) the Cash Amount of the Aggregate Consideration. If Pueblo Holdings does not deliver the Proposed Closing Statement when required, Sellers’ Representative may prepare and deliver it to Pueblo Holdings, and, in such case, Pueblo Holdings shall have Sellers’ Representative objection rights under this Section 2.3 .

          (c) Examination of Proposed Closing Statement . Sellers’ Representative shall review the Proposed Closing Statement to confirm the accuracy of the Proposed Closing Statement and Pueblo Holdings’ calculations. If Sellers’ Representative fails to give Pueblo Holdings written notice of any disputed amounts within 30 days after Sellers’ Representative receives the Proposed Closing Statement (the “ Review Period ”), then the Proposed Closing Statement shall become the Final Closing Statement for purposes hereof. If Sellers’ Representative gives Pueblo Holdings written notice of any disputed items within the Review Period, Pueblo Holdings and Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to agree on any adjustments that should be made to the Proposed Closing Statement. If Pueblo Holdings and Sellers’ Representative fail to resolve any disputed amounts within 60 days after Sellers’ Representative receives the Proposed Closing Statement, Pueblo Holdings and Sellers’ Representative will engage the Audit Firm to resolve any such disputed matters in accordance

3


 

with the terms of this Agreement, and, in connection with such engagement Pueblo Holdings, Pueblo and Sellers’ Representative shall execute any engagement, indemnity and other agreements as the Audit Firm may require as a condition to such engagement. The Audit Firm’s engagement shall be limited to the resolution of disputed amounts set forth in the Proposed Closing Statement that have been identified by Sellers’ Representative, and no other matter relating to the Final Closing Statement shall be subject to determination by the Audit Firm except to the extent affected by resolution of the disputed amounts. The Parties shall cooperate diligently with any reasonable request of the Audit Firm in an effort to resolve any disputed matter as soon as reasonably possible after the Audit Firm is engaged. If possible, the decision of the Audit Firm shall be made within 30 days after being engaged. In any event, the decision shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Proposed Closing Statement shall be revised, if necessary, to reflect the final determination of (i) Net Working Capital, (ii) Debt Payoff Amount, (iii) Expenses and (iv) the Cash Amount of the Aggregate Consideration (the final form of the Proposed Closing Statement, including any revisions that are made thereto pursuant to this Section 2.3(c) , is referred to herein as the “ Final Closing Statement ”).

          (d) Adjustments .

                (i) If the Cash Amount of the Aggregate Consideration as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is less than the Estimated Cash Amount (the amount of such shortfall, if any, being hereinafter referred to as the “ Aggregate Consideration Deficit ”), then an amount of Cash equal to such Aggregate Consideration Deficit shall be released promptly from the Escrow Fund and paid to Pueblo Holdings in accordance with Section 2.4(b)(i) .

                (ii) If the Cash Amount of the Aggregate Consideration as reflected on the Final Closing Statement is greater than the Estimated Cash Amount (the amount of such excess being hereinafter referred to as the “ Aggregate Consideration Surplus ”), then Pueblo Holdings shall immediately tender payment of such Aggregate Consideration Surplus, in Cash, to the Sellers’ Representative.

          (e) No Duplicative Effect . The provisions of this Section 2.3 and of any other Transaction Document shall apply in such a manner so as not to include in the components and calculations any duplicative effect of any item of adjustment and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or as described in the Sample Balance Sheet, the Parties covenant and agree that no amount shall be (or is intended to be) included, in whole or in part (either as an increase or reduction) more than once in the calculation of Net Working Capital, the Debt Payoff Amount, Expenses, or the Unpaid Environmental Deductible in each case, if any, or the Cash Amount of the Aggregate Consideration or any component of any of the foregoing, or any other calculated amount pursuant to this Agreement if the effect of such additional inclusion (either as an increase or reduction) would be to cause such amount to be overstated or understated for purposes of such calculation. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, if there is a conflict between a determination, calculation or methodology set forth in the Sample Balance Sheet or the definitions contained in this Agreement, as applicable, on the one hand, and those provided by GAAP, on the other hand, (i) the determination, calculation or methodology set forth in the Sample Balance Sheet or the definitions contained in this Agreement, as applicable, shall control to the extent that the matter is included in the Sample Balance Sheet or the definitions contained

4


 

in this Agreement as a line item or specific adjustment and (ii) the determination, calculation or methodology prescribed by GAAP shall otherwise control.

          (f) Fees and Expenses of the Audit Firm . If the Parties submit any disputed amounts to the Audit Firm for resolution as provided in Section 2.3(c) above, the fees and expenses of the Audit Firm (the “ Audit Fees ”) will be paid by and apportioned between Pueblo Holdings and the Sellers based on the aggregate dollar amount of the amount in dispute and the relative recovery as determined by the Audit Firm of Sellers and Pueblo Holdings, respectively. The Sellers and Pueblo Holdings shall promptly, and in any event within five Business Days after the final determination of the Final Closing Statement, pay to the Audit Firm the amount of Audit Fees payable by Sellers and Pueblo Holdings pursuant to the preceding sentence.

     2.4 Escrow .

          (a) Escrow Deposit . At or prior to the Closing, Pueblo Holdings, Sellers’ Representative, Bear Cub and the Escrow Agent shall enter into the Escrow Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in order to secure the indemnity obligations of the Sellers to the Buyer Indemnities under this Agreement and the recovery by the Buyers of any Aggregate Consideration Deficit, Buyers shall deposit the Escrow Deposit with the Escrow Agent at Closing to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

          (b) Distribution of Escrow Fund .

                (i) Upon the Buyers becoming entitled to a distribution of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(i) , the Escrow Agent shall deliver (A) to the Buyers out of the Escrow Fund, Cash in an amount equal to the Aggregate Consideration Deficit, (B) to the Audit Firm an amount in Cash equal to the amount payable to the Audit Firm by Sellers in accordance with Section 2.3(f) , if applicable, and (C) to Sellers’ Representative any Cash remaining in the Escrow Fund after the payments in clauses (A) and (B) of this Section 2.4(b)(i) have been made. If the Aggregate Consideration Deficit is greater than the amount of Cash in the Escrow Fund (such excess, the “ Escrow Cash Shortfall ”), then, in addition to the Cash distribution as provided above, each Member shall deliver to Pueblo Holdings, within 10 days after written notice of an Escrow Cash Shortfall to the Seller Representative (a “ Shortfall Notice ”), an amount in Cash equal to the Escrow Cash Shortfall multiplied by such Member’s Pro Rata Portion; provided that if any amounts are unpaid pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(i) , Buyers shall be allowed to pursue a claim for such unpaid amounts in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 10.4(h) . If it is determined that Buyers are not entitled to a distribution of the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 2.3(d)(i) , the Escrow Agent shall deliver (A) to the Audit Firm an amount in Cash equal to the amount payable to the Audit Firm by Sellers in accordance with Section 2.3(f) , if applicable, and (B) to Sellers’ Representative all of the Cash remaining in the Escrow Fund upon such distribution.

                (ii) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall distribute on a quarterly basis to the Sellers’ Representative, all interest, distributions, dividends and other income earned on the Escrow Fund.

5


 

          (c) Written Instructions . Sellers’ Representative and Pueblo Holdings hereby covenant and agree that when any Person becomes entitled to any distribution from the Escrow Fund pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, Pueblo Holdings and Sellers’ Representative shall promptly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent joint written instructions setting forth the amounts to be paid to such Person, if any, from the Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement and all other means of calculating amounts due under this Agreement (a “ Joint Direction ”). Each of Pueblo Holdings and Sellers’ Representative agree to confer as promptly as practicable and to use its reasonable best efforts to reach agreement as to the calculation of and entitlement to such amounts and the applicable Escrow Fund(s) from which such amounts will be distributed. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing:

                (i) if the Sellers’ Representative or Pueblo Holdings shall fail to execute and deliver a Joint Direction, either of the Sellers’ Representative or Buyers, as applicable, shall be entitled to receive distributions from the Escrow Fund from the Escrow Agent promptly upon delivery to the Escrow Agent of a written instruction, order or judgment issued or entered by a court of competent jurisdiction setting forth the amount to be paid to such Party pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) (a “ Court Direction ”);

                (ii) Pueblo Holdings and Sellers’ Representative covenant and agree jointly to instruct the Escrow Agent in writing, (1) within five Business Days after the final determination, of the Final Closing Statement to make the Cash distributions, if any, required by Section 2.3(d)(i) , (2) if applicable, promptly within five Business Days after the determination by the Audit Firm of Net Working Capital, the Credit Agreement Balance, Third-Party Debt, Expenses, the Unpaid Environmental Deductible or the Cash Amount of the Aggregate Consideration, as applicable, to release, if applicable, to the Audit Firm out of the Escrow Fund the amount payable to the Audit Firm by the Sellers in accordance with Section 2.3(f) .

     2.5 Delivery to Sellers’ Representative . Each Member acknowledges and agrees that delivery to the Sellers’ Representative of any amounts and all Transaction Units to which such Member is entitled under this Agreement shall constitute delivery to such Member for all purposes and the Buyer shall have no further liability to such Member with respect to such amounts or Transaction Units so delivered to the Sellers’ Representative.

ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF MEMBERS

     Subject to the limitations set forth in Article X , each Member, severally and not jointly with any other Member, represents and warrants as to itself to Buyers as follows (such representations and warranties being deemed to be made as of the date hereof and on a continuous basis until the Closing) except as set forth in the Disclosure Letter:

     3.1 Organization, Good Standing and Authority of Sellers .

          (a) Such Member, if other than an individual, is a corporation, limited liability company, limited partnership or trust duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, has all

6


 

requisite power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted.

          (b) Such Member has the full right, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which it shall be a party and to transfer, convey and sell to Buyers at the Closing the Interests owned by it. If such Member is other than an individual, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is or is intended to be a party have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action on the part of such Member. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which such Member is or shall be a party have been or will be duly executed and delivered by such Member, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the other parties hereto and thereto) such Transaction Documents constitute or, if not yet executed, will at Closing constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of such Member, enforceable against such Member in accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

     3.2 Title to Interests . Such Member has good and valid record and beneficial title to the Interests as set forth beside such Member’s name on Schedule A , free and clear of any and all Liens. The Interests set forth opposite such Member’s name on Schedule A constitute all of the Equity Interests of Pueblo held of record or beneficially by such Member. Upon the Closing, Buyers will acquire good title to all of the Equity Interests of Pueblo as set forth opposite such Member’s name on Schedule A , free and clear of any Liens, other than any Liens created by Buyers. Neither such Member, nor, to the knowledge of such Member, Bear Cub or any other Member is a party to (i) any option, warrant, purchase right or other Contract (other than this Agreement) that could require any such Seller or, after the Closing, Buyers, to sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Equity Interest of Pueblo or (ii) any voting trust, proxy or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of any Equity Interest of Pueblo.
