then
the Sellers shall fund the amount required to be deposited into escrow hereunder

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Contingent Consideration is due and
payable to the Sellers pursuant to Section

but the
Purchaser has not yet purchased the Option Shares pursuant to the Option
Agreement, then any amount required to be paid by Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx to fund
the

shall be paid from the Ricci Contingent Consideration Escrow to the Escrow
Agent.
(b) The
amount required to be deposited into the San Xxxx Employment Escrow shall equal

either or both of Xxx Xxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 4.10 of the San
Xxxx Purchase Agreement, in an amount equal to the severance payments made

(ii) To

in
connection with their employment by the Purchaser or one of its Affiliates
(including the Company after Closing) pursuant to Section 4.10 of the San Xxxx

have been paid in full, in an amount equal to the funds remaining in the San
Xxxx Employment Escrow.
4
Except
as
provided below, any amounts received by the Seller Representative from the
San
Xxxx Employment Escrow pursuant to clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be
distributed by the Seller Representative to the Sellers, within five Business
Days after receipt thereof by the Seller Representative, on a pro rata basis
based upon each Seller’s ownership of the Initial Closing Shares and the Option
Shares immediately prior to the Closing Date, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the accounts designated in writing by the
Sellers.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing: (A) any payments to be made from the San Xxxx Employment Escrow
to the Seller Representative under clauses (ii) and (iii) above shall be made
to
the Company if the San Xxxx Employment Escrow is funded by the Company pursuant
to Section
5.22(a)
rather
than the Sellers; and (B) if the Purchaser has not purchased the Option Shares
pursuant to the Option Agreement on or prior to November 12, 2007, then the
portion of any payments made to the Seller Representative under clauses (ii)
and
(iii) above otherwise allocable to Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx based on his ownership
of
the Option Shares immediately prior to the Closing, shall be distributed
directly to the Purchaser rather than to the Seller
Representative.”

(“Buyer”).
WHEREAS,
upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement
dated as of June ___, 2007 among MAC Acquisitions LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, San Xxxx Jet Center, Inc., a California corporation, ACM

company, Jet Center Property Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, ACM Property Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
and
ACM Aviation, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “San

Seller became the owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the limited liability
company interests (the “Interests”)
of ACM
Aviation, LLC (the “Company”);
and
WHEREAS,
pursuant to Section 5.23 of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated April 16, 2007,
as amended, among Mercury Air Centers, Inc., Macquarie FBO Holdings LLC, Allied
Capital Corporation, Directional Aviation Group, LLC, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx
Xxxxx and Allied Capital Corporation, as representative for the selling group,
Seller agreed to sell and assign the Interests to Buyer.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises herein contained, and other
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the
parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. Quitclaim
Representation and Warranty.
Seller
hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that: (a) subject to the accuracy of
the
representations provided by San Xxxx Jet Center, Inc. and ACM Aviation Inc.
(together, the “San
Xxxx Xxxxxxx”)
in the
San Xxxx Purchase Agreement, Seller owns of record and beneficially and has
good
and marketable title to the Interests free and clear of any lien, pledge,
security interest, charge, encumbrance, right of first refusal, option, adverse
claim, restriction or limitation of any kind whatsoever (collectively,
“Liens”);
and
(b) Seller is not a party to, or bound by any agreement, instrument,
understanding or decree which would restrict the transfer of the Interests
to
Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.
2. Purchase
and Sale of Interests.
Seller
hereby unconditionally and irrevocably sells, assigns, transfers and sets over
unto Buyer, its successors and assigns, all of Seller’s right, title and
interest in and to the Interests in exchange for $1.00, plus or minus the
working capital adjustment described in Section 3 hereof, payable via check
or
wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank and account designated
by
Seller.
18
3. Working
Capital Adjustment.
(a) Seller
shall prepare and deliver to Buyer within 45 days after the date hereof an
unaudited balance sheet of the Company prepared as of the close of business
on
the date hereof in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
as
applied by the Company consistent with past practices (the “Closing
Balance Sheet”)
and a
calculation of the Working Capital (as defined below) as of the close of
business on the date hereof based on such Closing Balance Sheet (the
“Closing
Working Capital Calculation”)
and
all workpapers and back-up materials relating thereto.
(b) On
or
prior to the 21st day following Seller’s delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet
and the Closing Working Capital Calculation, Buyer may give Seller a written
notice stating in reasonable detail Buyer’s objections (an “Objection
Notice”)
to the
Closing Balance Sheet or the Closing Working Capital Calculation. Any Objection
Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the dollar amount of any objection
and
the basis therefor. Any determination set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet
or
the Closing Working Capital Calculation which is not specifically objected
to in
the Objection Notice shall be deemed acceptable and shall be final and binding
upon the parties hereto upon delivery of the Objection Notice. If Buyer does
not
give Seller an Objection Notice within such 21-day period, then the Closing
Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital Calculation shall be conclusive
and binding upon the parties hereto and the Working Capital set forth in the
Closing Working Capital Calculation will constitute the Working Capital for
purposes of this Section 3. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate with each other
in good faith to provide access to the Company’s books and records and its
personnel and accountants as may be reasonably necessary for Seller to prepare,
or Buyer to review, the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Working Capital
Calculation.
(c) Following
Seller’s receipt of any Objection Notice, Buyer and Seller shall attempt to
negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. In the event that Buyer and
Seller fail to agree on any of Buyer’s proposed adjustments set forth in the
Objection Notice within 30 days after Seller receives the Objection Notice,
Buyer and Seller agree that a mutually acceptable accounting firm of nationally
recognized standing (the “Independent
Accounting Firm”)
shall,
within the 35-day period immediately following such 30-day period, make the
final determination of Working Capital as of the close of business on the date
hereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Buyer and Seller each
shall provide the Independent Accounting Firm with their respective
determinations of Working Capital as of the close of business on the date
hereof. The Independent Accounting Firm shall make an independent determination
of Working Capital as of the close of business on the date hereof that, assuming
compliance with the previous clause, shall be final and binding on Buyer and
Seller. Notwithstanding the above, the Independent Accounting Firm shall serve
as an arbitrator of the dispute rather than an auditor. The fees, costs and
expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be paid by the party hereto
whose calculation of Working Capital was different by the greater amount from
that of the Independent Accounting Firm.
(d) If
the
Working Capital as of the close of business on the date hereof is equal to
the
Target Working Capital (as defined below), then there shall be no adjustment
to
the consideration paid on the date hereof by Buyer to Seller as set forth in
Section 2 hereof. To the extent that the Working Capital as finally determined
pursuant to this Section 3 is less than the Target Working Capital (the
“Working
Capital Deficiency”),
then
Seller shall be required to pay to Buyer, within five business days after the
calculation of Working Capital becomes binding in accordance with this Section
3, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated
in
writing by Buyer, an amount equal to the Working Capital Deficiency,
together
with interest at the rate of 8% per annum, which interest shall begin accruing
on the date hereof and end on the date that the payment is made.
To the
extent that the Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to this Section
3
exceeds the Target Working Capital (the “Working
Capital Surplus”),
then
Buyer shall be required to pay to Seller, within five business days after the
calculation of Working Capital becomes binding in accordance with this Section
3, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated
in
writing by Seller, an amount equal to the Working Capital Surplus, together
with interest at the rate of 8% per annum, which interest shall begin accruing
on the date hereof and end on the date that the payment is made.
19
(e) “Target
Working Capital means $0.
(f) “Working
Capital” means current assets of
the
Company including
any Inventory Assets (as such term is defined in the San Xxxx Purchase
Agreement) minus current liabilities of the Company excluding any current
portion of the indebtedness of the Company for borrowed money.
4. Assumption
of Obligations.
Buyer
hereby agrees to assume all obligations with respect to the Interests under
the
Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company dated as of December 14,
2004, as amended (the “Operating
Agreement”).
5. Amendment
to Operating Agreement.
Seller
and Buyer each hereby agree to execute an amendment to the Operating Agreement
pursuant to which, among other things, the purchase of the Interests by Buyer
from Seller, the withdrawal of Seller as a member of the Company, and the
admission of Buyer as a member of the Company shall be reflected.
6. Representations,
Warranties and Indemnities.
a. Representations
and Warranties.
Except
as set forth in Section 1 hereof, Seller is not making any representations
or
warranties regarding the Interests or the Company.
b. Indemnity
Matters.
Except
with respect to a breach of Section 1 hereof, Seller shall not be liable to
Buyer in any manner for any claims, demands, rights, causes of action,
judgments, executions, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
attorney’s fees and court costs) (collectively, “Claims”)
relating to the Interests or the Company.
c. Pursuit
of Claims on Buyer’s Behalf.
(i) Seller
agrees to pursue available Claims against the San Xxxx Xxxxxxx under Article
VI
of the San Xxxx Purchase Agreement on behalf of Buyer, at Buyer’s direction, to
the extent such Claims relate to the Interests, the assets or liabilities of
the
Company or the business operated by the Company (“LLC
Claims”).
Buyer
shall promptly reimburse Seller for any out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Seller to pursue any LLC Claims against the San Xxxx Xxxxxxx;
provided, however, that Seller provides Buyer with reasonable supporting
documentation for any such out-of-pocket costs and expenses.
20
(ii) Buyer
agrees to provide Seller with a form of an indemnification notice for any LLC
Claims to be sent by Seller, on behalf of Buyer, to the San Xxxx Xxxxxxx within
five business days prior to the expiration of the 24-month period following
the
closing of the transactions contemplated by the San Xxxx Purchase Agreement,
which form shall contain all of the information required pursuant to the terms
and conditions set forth in Article VI of the San Xxxx Purchase Agreement.
Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and act in good faith to pursue any LLC Claims
against the San Xxxx Xxxxxxx on behalf of Buyer.
(iii) Buyer
and
Seller acknowledge and agree that: (A) Buyer’s sole recourse for a breach by the
San Xxxx Xxxxxxx of a representation, warranty or covenant in the San Xxxx
Purchase Agreement related to the Interests, the assets or liabilities of the
Company or the business operated by the Company is limited to an indemnity
claim
by Seller against the San Xxxx Xxxxxxx, submitted by Seller on Buyer’s behalf,
and any such claim shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set
forth
in Article VI of the San Xxxx Purchase Agreement; and (B) Buyer shall not be
entitled to satisfaction of any LLC Claims, in whole or in part, except as
provided below.
(iv) Buyer
shall not be entitled to obtain the benefit of any release of funds from the
Escrow Fund (as such term is defined in Section 1.4(c)(i) of the San Xxxx
Purchase Agreement) to satisfy any LLC Claim submitted by Seller against the
San
Xxxx Xxxxxxx on Buyer’s behalf unless and until all indemnity claims by Seller
against the San Xxxx Xxxxxxx under the San Xxxx Purchase Agreement unrelated
to
the Interests, the assets or liabilities of the Company or the business operated
by the Company (“Seller
Claims”)
have
either been paid in full or have been fully reserved against funds available
in
the Escrow Fund as reasonably established by Seller.
(v) If
funds
remain in the Escrow Fund after paying all Seller Claims in full and after
Seller has, in good faith, provided an adequate reserve against funds available
in the Escrow Fund for any Seller Claims not finally resolved within 20 business
days prior to the expiration of the 24-month period following the closing of
the
transactions contemplated by the San Xxxx Purchase Agreement, Seller shall
obtain, for Buyer’s benefit, a release of available funds from the Escrow Fund
up to the amount of the LLC Claims. Seller shall be required to make payment
to
Buyer, within five days after Seller’s receipt of the funds released from the
Escrow Fund relating to the LLC Claims, in an amount equal to the amount of
the
funds released from the Escrow Fund related thereto, via wire transfer of
immediately available funds to a bank and account designated by Buyer in
writing.
7. Governing
Law.
This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic
laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or
conflict provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the
State
of Delaware to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law
of
the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of
this
Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law
analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.
Any controversy or claim arising under this Agreement shall be subject to the
exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and
each party hereto submits to the jurisdiction of such court for purposes of
resolving any such controversy.
