PURCHASE PRICE; ADJUSTMENT AND PAYMENT.
A.
Purchase Price. Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell to the Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from the Seller, all of the Seller’s rights, title, and interest in and to the Assets, for an aggregate purchase price equal to ONE MILLION SIX HUNDRED NINETY EIGHT THOUSAND AND NO/dollars ($1,698,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”), to be paid as provided in Subsection C below of this Section III. Buyer and Seller agree that the Purchase Price is based on the Seller’s (i) aggregate revenue, (ii) actual number of Active Dial-Up Customers, (iii) select asset base, (iv) the amount of deferred revenue,
3
specified DSL customers, and (v) the general financial performance reflecting the representations of the Seller.
B.
Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment as follows:
1.
Post–Closing Adjustment for Actual Annualized Revenues of Customers.
a.
The Purchase Price is based in part on Seller’s estimate that as of the Closing Date, Seller will have annualized revenues of $501,448.00 from the Active DSL Customers, $2,006,373 annualized revenues from the other Active customers’ services and deferred revenues of $107,500.00. Following Closing, Buyer will verify the actual number of Active Customers and the amount of Deferred Revenue. In the event that the actual number of Active Customers annualized revenues differs from the estimates, the Purchase Price will be subject to adjustment, all as set forth below:
i.
Buyer will verify the actual number of Active Dial-Up Customers in accordance with the following procedure:
a)
For purposes of this Section III, a “Verified Active Customer” shall be an Active Customer that:
i)
has prepaid for service from Seller’s or Buyer’s Network and has not cancelled within 15 days from the Closing Date; OR
ii)
pays monthly and must be paid up or have made at least one payment during the month of September or October for their current service.
ii.
During the 60 day period following Closing, Buyer will determine whether an Active Customer is a Verified Active Customer, for among other reasons, to determine the amount, if any, by which the actual amount of Verified Active Annualized Revenues differ from the Estimated Active Annualized Revenues. The Buyer will also determine if the Deferred Revenue amount given is also correct. Following such determination, the Purchase Price will be adjusted as follows (a “Purchase Price Adjustment”)
a)
The Purchase Price will be increased or decreased by an amount of the difference of the Verified Active Annualized DSL Revenues from the amount of the Estimated Active Annualized DSL Revenues; and/or
b)
The Purchase Price will be increased or decreased by sixty-five percent (65%) of the amount the difference of the Verified Active Annualized Other Services Revenues from the amount of the Estimated Active Annualized Other Services Revenues; and/or
4
c)
The Purchase Price will be increased or decreased by the difference of the given Deferred Revenue amount from the actual Deferred Revenue amount.
iii.
The Purchase Price Adjustment will be added to or subtracted from (as the case may be) the Deferred Purchase Price Payment (as defined below) payable to Seller pursuant to Subsection C.2. below.
2.
Liens and Encumbrances. If, as of the Closing, any of the Assets are subject to or encumbered by any security interests or liens the outstanding aggregate balance (including any accrued interest or other charges) of the total debts or liabilities underlying such liens or security interests shall be deducted from the Purchase Price and paid directly to the applicable creditor of the Seller at the Closing.
3.
A/R adjustment. There will be no adjustment for actual Accounts Receivable being assumed by Buyer.
C.
Payment of Purchase Price. The Buyer has paid the total Purchase Price to the Sellers as follows:
1.
Payment At Closing. Two Hundred Fifty Thousand dollars ($250,000) paid at Closing of which Ten Thousand dollars ($10,000) has already been paid to Seller as a deposit to this transaction. This Payment At Closing was paid via wire transfer to an account designated by the Seller.
2.
Deferred Payment. Starting November 1, 2005, Buyer will pay to the Seller monthly installments of $250,000.00 towards the balance of the Purchase Price, with any plus or minus adjustments to the Purchase Price made pursuant to Subsection B. above of this Section III (collectively, the “Deferred Purchase Price Payment”) to adjust the final installment payment, via Bank Check or wire transfer to an account designated by the Seller. The balance of the Purchase Price will be secured by a non-interest bearing Note and Security Agreement, in the form attached hereto, both of which shall be executed by Buyer at Closing. The terms of the Security Agreement and Note are incorporated herein by reference.
3.
Assumption of Liabilities. The Buyer shall assume the obligation to provide Dial-Up Services to the Pre-Paid Accounts following the Closing Date.
