2.
Purchase and Sale of Shares at the Closing
.
2.1
Promissory Note . Subject to the terms and the
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this
Agreement, at the Closing, (i) Seller shall sell and deliver
to Purchaser, free and clear of any Liens (other than the security
interest granted by Purchaser pursuant to the Collateral Agreement
in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “
Collateral Agreement ”)), the 1,000,000 shares of the
Company’s Common Stock (the “ Shares ”)
owned by Seller; and (ii) Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a
secured promissory note in the principal amount of $5,600,000.00 in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “
Note ”) (the “ Closing Date Payment
”). As used in this Agreement, “
Liens ” means any and all mortgages, claims,
encumbrances, retention rights, charges, assessments, levies,
easements, limitations, claims, restrictions, pledges, security
interests or impositions of any kind.
(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 ”).
2.5
Cash and Accounts Receivable . Any and all
existing cash, Cash Equivalents (as “ Cash Equivalents
” is defined in the Credit Agreement other than part (f) of
that definition) and accounts receivable of the Company related to
any services performed or products sold by the Company on or after
July 20, 2009 will not be transferred out of the Company prior to
the Closing and will remain in the Company through the Closing
Date. Seller will be entitled to receive and retain any
and all cash, cash equivalents and accounts receivable of the
Company related to any services performed or products sold by the
Company on or before July 19, 2009. Attached hereto as
Schedule 2.5 is a list of all the accounts receivable of the
Company that the Company, following the Closing, is entitled to
receive and retain pursuant to this Section 2.5; any and all
accounts receivable of the Company not listed on Schedule
2.5 as an account receivable that is to be retained, in full or
in part, by the Company will be retained by the
Seller. Following the Closing, the Seller, Parent Co.
and the Company will cooperate with one another and each use
commercially reasonable efforts in an effort to ensure that all
accounts receivable of the Company (including accounts receivable
retained by Seller) are properly and fairly collected and that
funds received as payment on accounts receivable of the Company
(including accounts receivable retained by Seller) are properly
allocated and distributed pursuant to this Section 2.5.
3.1
Closing Date . The purchase and sale of the
Shares in exchange for the Purchase Price will be consummated at a

or 4.19 through 4.24 below if Anderson or Beale had, as of the
Closing Date, actual knowledge (with no duty of inquiry or
investigation) of the fact(s) causing such breach. The

4.4
No Conflicts . The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby will not: (a) to
Seller’s Knowledge, except as set forth on
Schedule 4.4 , conflict with or result in any material
