(f) Workers compensation liability for any claims first
arising prior to Closing.
1.2 PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. Subject to Section 1.3, the
purchase price
("Purchase Price") for the Shares shall be paid to Sellers on a
pro-rata basis
based upon each Seller's respective ownership percentage and
consist of the
following:
1.2.1 Subject to Section 1.3, cash at Closing in the amount of
Two
Million Four Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand Dollars and No/100
Dollars
($2,499,000.00), less the Escrow Amount (as defined in Section
1.3), by
wire transfer of immediately available funds (the "Cash
Payment").
1.2.2 Shares of common stock of Buyer's ultimate parent
company,
Arcadia Resources, Inc. (OTB: ACDI.OB)("ACDI") equal in value to
Two
Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00). The number of ACDI
shares to
be provided to Sellers will be based on the average closing
price per
share for each of the last ten (10) trading days prior to
Closing (the
"Stock Payment").
1.2.3 An earnout amount equal to four (4) times the
cumulative
EBITDA of the Company's St. Joseph (Michigan) branch ("Earnout
Amount")
for the twelve month period following the Closing Date ("Earnout
Period"),
payable as follows:
1.2.3.1 Within thirty (30) days following the end of each
three month period during the Earnout Period, Buyer shall
calculate
the cumulative Earnout Amount for the three month period just
ended
and each prior three month period during the Earnout Period
(the
"Cumulative Earnout Amount"). If the Cumulative Earnout Amount
is a
positive number, then within five (5) business days
following
Buyer's determination of the Cumulative Earnout Amount, Buyer
shall
make a cash payment to Sellers (on a pro rata basis) equal
to
("Quarterly Earnout Payment"): (x) fifty (50%) percent of
the
Cumulative Earnout Amount, minus (y) the aggregate amount of
Quarterly Earnout Payments made by Buyer to Seller pursuant to
this
Section 1.2.3 for all prior three month periods. If the
Cumulative
Earnout Amount or Quarterly Earnout Payment is a negative
number,
then the Quarterly Earnout Payment for that period shall be
zero.
1.2.3.2 Within five (5) business days following the Buyer's
determination of Cumulative Earnout Amount for the last three
(3)
month period during the Earnout Period, Buyer shall pay to
Sellers
(on a pro rata basis) an amount equal to the entire
Cumulative
Earnout Amount, minus the aggregate amount of the Quarterly
Earnout
Payments previously made by Buyer.
Page 2 of 36
<PAGE>
1.2.3.3 If the aggregate amount of Quarterly Earnout
Payments
exceeds the actual Earnout Amount for the entire Earnout
Period,
then the Buyer shall be reimbursed the excess amount paid to
Sellers
from the Escrow Amount.
1.2.3.4 During the Earnout Period, monthly financial
statements of the Company utilized in determining the Earnout
Amount
shall be provided to Sellers.
1.3 PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Cash Payment amount due at
Closing or
any other amount otherwise due Sellers hereunder shall be
adjusted downward if
the Company's "Net Current Asset Value" (as defined herein) as
of the Closing
Date is less than the Company's average Net Current Asset Value
for the three
(3) month period ending March 31, 2005. For this purpose, the
term "Net Current
Asset Value" means the book value of the Company's current
assets as of the
applicable measurement date minus the Company's current
liabilities as of the
same date, each of which shall be determined in accordance with
GAAP. Within
ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer shall provide
Sellers with a
Schedule prepared by Buyer in good faith showing (i) the Net
Current Asset Value
as of the Closing Date, (ii) the average Net Current Asset Value
for the three
month period ended March 31, 2005, and (iii) an estimate of the
amount of the
adjustment to the Purchase Price, if any ("Buyer's Adjustment
Schedule"). In
order for Buyer to prepare its Buyer's Adjustment Schedule, the
Sellers shall
provide Buyer a copy of the Company's April 2005 financial
statements on or
before May 31, 2005. Unless Sellers shall provide Buyer with
written objection
to the Buyer's Adjustment Schedule within thirty (30) days
following Sellers'
receipt thereof, the Buyer's Adjustment Schedule shall become
final, binding and
conclusive upon the parties for purposes of this Agreement and
Buyer shall be
entitled to have the Purchase Price adjustment amount reflected
in the Buyer's
Adjustment Schedule released to Buyer from the Escrow Amount or
otherwise. If
Sellers timely provide said objection to the Buyer's Adjustment
Schedule, and
the parties are unable to reach a mutual agreement as to the
Purchase Price
adjustment amount within a period of thirty (30) days following
such objection
by Sellers, then within seven (7) days thereafter, the
calculation of the
Purchase Price adjustment shall be submitted to an independent
certified public
accountant mutually selected, in writing, by the parties for
such purpose
("Independent Accountant"). Each party shall thereupon furnish
to the
Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and
information
requested by the Independent Accountant. The Independent
Accountant shall
determine the Purchase Price adjustment within thirty (30) days
following the
date of its appointment, which determination shall be final,
binding, and
conclusive upon the parties. The parties shall bear all costs,
fees and expenses
of the Independent Accountant equally.
1.4 ESCROW AMOUNT. At the Closing, Buyer shall deposit the sum
of Two
Hundred Forty-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($245,000.00)
into escrow (the
"Escrow Amount") to be held pursuant to the terms of that
certain Escrow
Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4. The Escrow Amount
shall be used to (i)
satisfy any valid indemnification claims that Buyer has against
the Sellers,
(ii) reimburse Buyer for the amount of any excess Quarterly
Earnout Payments,
and (iii) satisfy any other claims or rights of set off that
Buyer has against
Sellers. Within five (5) days following the final determination
of the
Cumulative Earnout Amount, the escrow agent shall release to
Sellers (on a pro
rata basis) one-half of the remaining balance of the Escrow
Amount, less a
reasonable reserve for any pending indemnification
claims/offsets.

Within thirty (30) days following the second anniversary date of
the Closing
Date, the escrow agent shall release to Sellers the remaining
balance of the
Escrow Amount, less a reasonable reserve for pending
indemnification
claims/offsets. Once all indemnification claims/set offs have
been finally
resolved, the balance of the Escrow Amount, if any, shall be
released to
Sellers.
1.5 NATURE OF ACDI STOCK. Each Seller understands that the ACDI
stock
acquired by them hereunder has not been registered under the
Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Act"), or under any applicable state
securities law, and
is being issued to them in reliance upon available exemptions
from registration,
and is deemed restricted stock within the meaning of Rule 144
promulgated by the
Securities Exchange Commission. Each Seller further acknowledges
and understands
that the resale of the ACDI stock has not been registered by
ACDI, and the ACDI
stock cannot be resold by Sellers unless the ACDI stock is
registered for resale
or an exemption from registration is available under federal and
state law. As a
condition to Sellers' receipt of the Stock Payment, each Seller
shall be
required to execute and deliver to ACDI the Stock Payment
Agreement in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit "1.5". Buyer shall cause ACDI to
issue to each Seller
