2.2            Royalty Payments .

 

(a)           Purchaser will pay or cause the Company to pay Seller, as additional consideration for the Shares, a royalty equal to two percent (2%) of monthly Gross Sales (as defined below) for each month beginning in January 2010 and ending in December 2012 (the “ Royalty Period ” and any and all payments owed pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) are referred to herein as the “ Royalty Payments ”); provided, however, that $1,000,000.00 is the minimum total Royalty Payments and $2,000,000.00 is the maximum total Royalty Payments. On or before the 20th day of each month beginning in February 2010 and continuing through January 2013, Purchaser will calculate the Gross Sales for the immediately preceding month and pay two percent (2%) of the Gross Sales for that month to Seller.  If at any time during the Royalty Period $2,000,000.00 in total Royalty Payments have been paid to Seller, Purchaser will owe no further Royalty Payments to Seller.  If by January 20, 2013 Seller has not received at least $1,000,000.00 in total Royalty Payments, Purchaser will, on or before March 31, 2013, pay to Seller the difference between $1,000,000.00 and the amount of total Royalty Payments previously paid by Purchaser to Seller.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the following exceptions regarding Royalty Payments apply: (i) if the total royalties paid to Seller for the months of January through December 2010 or any portion thereof exceed $500,000.00, Purchaser may defer any and all royalties in excess of $500,000.00 owed pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) and such deferred amount must be paid to Seller on or before January 20, 2011 unless the maximum total royalty is reduced to $500,000.00 pursuant to the following exception; and (ii) if Purchaser pays in full both the Note and the Second Note (and informs CVC California, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ CVC ”) to terminate the revolving line of credit pursuant to which the Second Note was issued) on or before December 31, 2010, the maximum total Royalty Payments owed pursuant to this Section 2.2(a) will be reduced to $500,000.00 (provided, however, that in order for the maximum total Royalty Payments to be reduced to $500,000.00, Purchaser must also pay Seller (within five (5) business days after paying the Note in full) an amount equal to $500,0000 minus the total Royalty Payments paid to Seller prior to the time when the Note and the Second Note are paid in full).  If at any time Purchaser (or the Company at Purchaser’s direction) has paid more than the maximum total Royalty Payments owed to Seller pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser will give written notice of such overpayment to Seller and Seller will refund the entire overpayment to Purchaser (or to the Company at Back Nine’s direction) within 30 days after receiving such notice.

 

(b)           As used in this Agreement, the term “ Gross Sales ” means the revenue actually billed by the Company for any and all services provided or products, equipment or parts sold by the Company, the Purchaser, Back Nine, LLC, a California limited liability company (“ Back Nine ”) or any of their respective affiliates, subsidiaries or successors (excluding any payments made by the Company to Back Nine pursuant to any equipment leases between Back Nine and the Company); provided, however, that Royalty Payments with respect to Gross Sales not collected will be deferred until such Gross Sales are collected and upon collection thereof will be paid to Seller.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.2, if the Company at any time pays a refund on any portion of collected Gross Sales on which it previously made a Royalty Payment, the Company may make a corresponding reduction in one or more subsequent Royalty Payments in order to offset the Royalty Payment previously made on the refunded amount.  Upon reasonable notice to Back Nine, during normal business hours and no more frequently than twice each calendar year, Seller will be entitled to audit (at its own expense) the Gross Sales and the calculation of any Royalty Payments.  Seller agrees that, pursuant to an agreement that Seller either has or will enter into with CVC, any and all Royalty Payments owed pursuant to this Section 2.2 are to be paid to CVC until if and when CVC instructs Back Nine in writing to do otherwise.

2.3            Purchase Price .  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Closing Date Payment and the obligation to pay the Royalty Payments (as such amounts may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the “ Purchase Price ”) shall constitute the full consideration for the Shares.

 

2.4            Tangible Assets .  Attached hereto as Schedule 2.4 is a list of the Company’s owned equipment, machinery, vehicles, furniture, equipment and other fixed assets (the “ Tangible Assets ”).
