ARTICLE 3
PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT
3.1 Purchase Price. The consideration to be paid by Buyer to Sellers for the
acquisition of the Shares by Buyer shall be $0.32 per Share for an aggregate purchase price of
$7,998,829.44 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.3.
3.2 Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall consist of:
6
3.2.1 $1,000,000 (the “Cash Consideration”), which shall be paid by Buyer at the Closing in
immediately available funds, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 3.3; and
3.2.2 Buyer’s promissory notes in the form of Exhibit 3.2.2 in the aggregate principal amount
of $6,998,829.44 (collectively, the “Shareholder Note”), subject to adjustment as set forth in
Section 3.3.
3.3 Adjustment to Purchase Price.
3.3.1 At the Closing, RHG’s Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, after giving effect to the
application of amounts being contributed by Buyer to RHG as set forth in Section 7.3.2, shall not
exceed $10,000,000. In the event RHG’s Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses exceed $10,000,000,
the amount of the Cash Consideration shall be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis for the amount
of such excess. In the event that the amount by which the Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
exceeds $10,000,000 is more than $1,000,000, the amount of the Shareholder Note shall be reduced on
a dollar for dollar basis for the amount of such excess over $11,000,000. In the event RHG’s
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses are less than $10,000,000, the amount of the Shareholder Note
shall be increased on a dollar for dollar basis for the amount by which RHG’s Accounts Payable and
Accrued Expenses are less than $10,000,000.
3.3.2 As soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 10 business days before the
anticipated Closing Date, RHG shall deliver to Buyer (i) schedules setting forth with specificity
the anticipated Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses expected to be due as of the Closing Date
(“Anticipated Amounts”), (ii) supporting information with respect to the calculation of the
Anticipated Amounts and (iii) a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer of RHG attesting to the
manner of the calculation of the Anticipated Amounts. Within five business days thereafter, Buyer
shall determine whether it agrees or disagrees with RHG’s calculations of the Anticipated Amounts.
If Buyer does not agree with RHG’s calculations, it shall, on or before the fifth business day
before the Closing Date, provide RHG with schedules setting forth with specificity Buyer’s
calculations of the Anticipated Amounts. Thereafter, between the date that Buyer presents its
schedules and the Closing Date, RHG and Buyer shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such
disagreements before the Closing Date.
3.3.3 If after such discussions the parties are unable to reach an agreement as to the
Anticipated Amounts to be outstanding as of the Closing Date, and as a result of such disagreement
a reduction in the Cash Consideration and the amount of the Shareholder Note, if applicable, would
be required under this Section 3.3, the parties shall calculate the reduction in the Cash
Consideration and the Shareholder Note, if applicable, to Sellers based solely on Buyer’s
calculations and such computation shall be used for purposes of determining the Purchase Price to
be paid at the Closing Date. The amount by which the Cash Consideration is reduced shall be
deposited in escrow with a party mutually acceptable to RHG and Buyer.
3.3.4 No later than 90 days following the Closing, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers (i)
schedules setting forth with specificity the actual Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses due as of
the Closing Date, (ii) supporting information with respect to the calculation of the Accounts
Payable and Accrued Expenses, and (iii) a certificate of the President of Buyer
7
attesting to the manner of the calculation of the Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses.
Within five business days thereafter, Sellers shall determine whether they agree or disagree with
Buyer’s calculation of the Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. If Sellers do not agree with the
amount determined by Buyer, Buyer and Sellers shall select an arbitrator, which shall be a firm of
independent certified public accountants mutually agreed upon by Buyer and Sellers (but not RHG’s
or Buyer’s independent certified public accounting firms), to review such matters and request that
such arbitrator determine the actual Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses as of the Closing Date.
The arbitrator’s decision shall be made as soon as practicable, but no later than 60 days after the
arbitrator is retained. The decision of the arbitrator shall be issued in writing to Buyer and
Sellers. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final, non-appealable and binding on all parties. Based
on the arbitrator’s decision, the amount of the Cash Consideration paid and the Shareholder Note,
if applicable, shall remain the same; Buyer will deliver additional Cash Consideration and a second
Shareholder Note with the exact same terms as the Shareholder Note, if applicable, for the amount
by which the Cash Consideration and the Shareholder Note, if applicable, were incorrectly reduced
based on Buyer’s calculation of the Anticipated Amount or Sellers shall surrender the Shareholder
Note for cancellation by Buyer in exchange for the reissuance of a new Shareholder Note in the
reduced amount. In any event, RHG, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall pay 50%
of the fees of the arbitrator.
3.4 Deposit. Buyer has agreed to provide a refundable deposit in the aggregate amount
of $100,000 (the “Deposit”), which was deposited on the date hereof in escrow with Akerman
Senterfitt pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement in the form of Exhibit 3.4.
3.5 Additional Consideration.
3.5.1 In the event that following the Closing Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall determine to undertake such activities as are set forth in Item 3.5 of the RHG Disclosure
Letter, and the aggregate Net Proceeds derived from such activities taking place within 24 months
of the Closing (or such additional period as is described below) are in excess of $15,000,000, then
Buyer shall pay Sellers additional cash consideration (the “Additional Consideration”) equal to 50%
of the Net Proceeds in excess of $15,000,000, up to a maximum of $4,000,000. To the extent that
total Gross Proceeds received by RHG includes Delayed Proceeds, the Additional Consideration shall
be payable to Sellers from the Net Cash Proceeds and the Delayed Proceeds. The amount of
Additional Consideration payable in cash shall be equal to the percentage that Net Cash Proceeds
bears to Net Proceeds, which shall be paid within 60 days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds. The
amount of Additional Consideration payable from the Delayed Proceeds, which shall be paid within 60
days of collection of such Delayed Proceeds, shall equal the percentage that the Delayed Proceeds
bears to Net Proceeds. To the extent that contracts or agreements relating to a particular
transaction have been executed within the 24 month period referred to above but such transaction
does not close until after such 24-month period, Additional Consideration shall be paid with
respect to such transaction when it closes. Further, if within six-months after such 24 month
period RHG enters into an agreement to consummate a transaction that would have been covered by
this Section 3.5 had it been consummated within such 24 month period, and such transaction was in
negotiation (which negotiations must include an offer in writing, a letter of intent or a term
sheet transmitted by or to RHG) at the end of such 24 month period, Additional Consideration shall
also be paid with respect to such transaction when it closes.
8
(a) The first $500,512.12 to Berjaya as additional consideration for its agreement to reduce
the Berjaya Debt; and
(b) An amount to Sellers on a pro rata basis based on their respective number of Shares sold
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, until each Seller has received an aggregate of $0.46 per
share, inclusive of the Purchase Price.
3.5.2 Buyer intends to enter into a mutually satisfactory consulting agreement with Xxxxx
Sabi, RHG’s chief executive officer, regarding the activities set forth in Item 3.5 of the RHG
Disclosure Letter.
3.5.3 By way of example only, assume that three months after the Closing, RHG has received
Gross Proceeds of $20,000,000, of which $16,000,000 is received in cash and $4,000,000 is received
in the form of a promissory note payable in four quarterly installments of $1,000,000 each. In
connection with such activities, RHG incurs Expenses equal to $2,400,000 resulting in Net Proceeds
of $17,600,000. Sellers would be entitled to receive a total of $1,300,000 of Additional
Consideration (($17,600,000 — $15,000,000) x 50%) in this case. The first $1,001,000 ($1,300,000 x
($13,600,000/$17,600,000)) of such Additional Consideration will be paid from the Net Cash Proceeds
within 60 days of receipt of such cash by RHG. The remaining $299,000 ($1,300,000 x
($4,000,000/$17,600,000)) of such Additional Consideration will be paid in four equal installments
payable within 60 days of receipt by RHG of each of the equal installments under the note received.
3.6 Prepayment of Shareholder Note.
3.6.1 In the event that following the Closing Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion,
shall determine to undertake such activities as are set forth in Item 3.5 of the RHG Disclosure
Letter, if the Gross Proceeds derived from such activities taking place within 24 months of the
Closing are in excess of $9,500,000, then Buyer shall pay Sellers, as a prepayment of the
Shareholder Note, an amount equal to 50% of the Net Proceeds in excess of such $9,500,000 of Gross
Proceeds, until the earlier of payment in full of the Shareholder Note or the second anniversary of
the Closing. To the extent that total Gross Proceeds received by RHG includes Delayed Proceeds,
the amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.6 shall be payable to Sellers from the Net Cash
Proceeds and the Delayed Proceeds. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.6 payable in cash
shall be equal to the percentage that Net Cash Proceeds bears to Net Proceeds, which shall be paid
within 60 days of receipt of the Net Cash Proceeds. The amount payable pursuant to this Section 3.6
payable from the Delayed Proceeds, which shall be paid within 60 days of collection of such Delayed
Proceeds, shall equal the percentage that the Delayed Proceeds bears to Net Proceeds.
3.6.2 By way of example only, assume that three months after the Closing, RHG has received
aggregate Gross Proceeds of $10,000,000, of which $8,000,000 is paid by the purchasers in cash and
$2,000,000 is in the form of a promissory note payable in four quarterly installments of $500,000
each. In connection with such activities, RHG incurs Expenses equal to $1,200,000 resulting in Net
Proceeds of $8,800,000. The Expenses relating to the Gross Proceeds in excess of $9,500,000 equal
$60,000. Sellers will be entitled to a prepayment equal to $220,000 (($10,000,000 -
$9,500,000-$60,000) x 50%) in this case. The first $169,400
9
($220,000 x ($6,800,000/$8,800,000) of such prepayment will be paid from the Net Cash Proceeds
within 60 days of receipt of such cash by RHG. The remaining $50,600 ($220,000 x
($2,000,000/$8,800,000)) of such prepayment will be paid in four equal installments payable within
60 days of receipt by RHG of each of the equal installments under the note received.
3.6.3 Buyer, Sellers and RHG acknowledge that Sections 3.5 and 3.6 of this Agreement both
provide that, under certain circumstances, Sellers are entitled to be paid an amount equal to a
portion of Net Proceeds. Sections 3.5 and 3.6 operate independently of each other, and the
obligation of Buyer under Section 3.5 does not have any effect on the obligation of RHG under
Section 3.6, and vice versa. Accordingly, subject to the provisions of Sections 3.5 and 3.6,
Sellers could be entitled to receive payments with respect to particular Net Proceeds under both of
Sections 3.5 and 3.6. Buyer and RHG acknowledge that once RHG has received Net Proceeds in excess
of $15,000,000, RHG will be obligated to pay Additional Consideration in accordance with Section
3.5 up to $4,000,000 from the 50% of the Net Proceeds RHG retains in accordance with Section 3.6.
