of GROUP Business Software AG, headquartered in Eisenach, registered in the court of Jena with the registration number HR B 405713
(in the following "GROUP").
GROUP has a capital stock of 25,232,000 Euro. The seller therefore owns shares representing 10.55% of GROUP’s capital stock.
Now, therefore, the parties agree to the following:
Purchase and transfer of the shares
(1) The Seller sells and transfers to the Purchaser the aforementioned shares with subscription rights for the current business year on December 30, 2010.
(2) The Seller may not, with exception of the existing agreement described in the preamble, transfer shares in accordance with the framework of this agreement.
(3) All Seller shares remain in the possession of the Seller until December 30, 2010. The Seller undertakes to instruct his securities account bank to immediately transfer upon fulfilment of the conditions precedent (§3), the shares described in this agreement to the Purchaser. The transfer of the shares includes all rights including any claim to dividends for the current year.
§ 2
Purchase Price, Payment and Restoration
(1) As consideration for the GROUP shares sold/transferred under this Contract, Purchaser shall pay and Seller shall receive a purchase price of US$1,330,610.50 (or US$0.50 per share).
(2) The payment due to the Seller will be satisfied by transfer of 1,137,700 restricted publicly traded shares of GBS Enterprises Inc. [GBSX shares]. The GBSX shares are traded at the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) at New York Stock Exchange, NY, USA.
(3) The consideration is calculated based on a 10 day average trading stock price of the GBSX share not below US$1.17 the ‘assumed share price’). In the event that the GBSX share is trading below the Assumed Share Price, Seller has the right to restoration to cover loss of value. The loss coverage will be calculated as follows: US$1.17 minus the actual 10 day average share price. The Purchaser may satisfy the Seller for the loss coverage by transferring additional GBSX shares or by payment in cash (e. g.: Average Share Price: US$1.10; difference to the Assumed Share Price: US$0.07; Loss Coverage: US$0.07*1,330,610.50=US$93,142.74 or 84,675 GBSX shares at US$1.10).
