3. Purchase Price.
(a) Net Book Value. The net book value of the Company as of May 31,
2004 was One Million Eight Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Sixty-Nine
US Dollars (US$1,887,569) (the "Net Book Value"). For purposes of this
Agreement, the Net Book Value represents the Company's total stockholders equity
as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America ("US").
(b) Interest Expense Allocation. Due to an interest expense that
should have been allocated to the Company relating to that certain Twenty Four
Million Dollar ($24,000,000) loan by Ocean Bank in 2003, which loan was
terminated in April 2004, the Company is subject to an adjustment of an interest
expense allocation of One Hundred Thirteen Thousand Eight Hundred Twenty-Seven
US Dollars (US$113,827). At a tax rate of 31%, the applicable after-tax interest
expense adjustment is equal to Seventy Eight Thousand Five-Hundred Forty One US
Dollars (US$78,541) (the "Interest Expense Allocation").
(c) Calculation of Purchase Price. In consideration for Seller's
Interest, Buyer shall pay to Seller the sum of Four Hundred Seventy Nine
Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Six U.S. Dollars (US$479,486) (the "Purchase
Price"), representing forty-nine percent (49%) of: (i) the Net Book Value, minus
(ii) the Prepayment (defined in Section 4(b)), minus (iii) the Interest Expense
Allocation. Xxxxxx shall pay One Hundred Eight US Dollars (US$108) of the
Purchase Price to Seller that is payable to Seller pursuant to Section 3(d)(i)
below as set forth in Section 7(b).
(d) Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be payable
as follows: (i) Two Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Two U.S.
Dollars (US$287,692), subject to Section 4(a) hereof, payable as set forth in
Section 7(b) and 7(c)(i), (iii) and (iv) in immediately available funds; and
(ii) One Hundred Ninety One Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-Four U.S. Dollars
(US$191,794), payable in shares of Brightstar common stock, $0.0001 par value
("Brightstar Stock"). The number of shares of Brightstar Stock transferred to
Seller pursuant to subsection (d)(ii) hereof shall be calculated by dividing the
dollar value reflected in subsection (d)(ii) hereof by the price per share of
the Brightstar Stock, which price shall be equal to its fair market value as
determined by the valuation study currently prepared by Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx
and Xxxxx, an independent valuation company ("HLHK"), on or about June 0000 (xxx
"XXXX Valuation Report").
4. Post-Closing Audit.
(a) Standard Audit. Except as set forth in Section 4(b), Brightstar
shall have a period of thirty (30) days to conduct a post-closing audit of the
books and records of the Company to verify the Net Book Value of the Company as
of May 31, 2004. In the event the audit discloses that the Net Book Value of the
Company is materially less (i.e., a difference of 2% or greater than the net
book value used in calculating the Purchase Price set forth Section 3 hereof),
then Seller shall deduct forty-nine percent (49%) of such difference in the Net
Book Value (the "NBV Difference") from the amounts payable by Brightstar to
Seller pursuant to Sections 7(c)(iii) and (iv) hereof. If the amounts deducted
pursuant to this Section 4(a) are less than the NBV Difference, then Seller
shall refund, within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice of such NBV
Difference, the difference between the NBV Difference and the amounts deductable
pursuant to this Section 4(a).
(b) Pre-paid Taxes. Brightstar has, on behalf of the Company,
pre-paid approximately Eight Hundred Thirty Thousand Four Hundred Eighty-Five US
Dollars (US$830,485) in taxes to the taxing authorities in Guatemala (the
"Prepayment"), for which it will request a full refund. The parties hereto agree
that in the event that Brightstar receives a full refund of the Prepayment,
Brightstar shall pay Seller Four Hundred Six Thousand Nine Hundred
2
Thirty-Eight US Dollars (US$406,938) (i.e., forty-nine percent (49%) of the
amount of the Prepayment recovered by Brightstar) (the "Prepayment Refund"). If
Brightstar receives a partial or no refund of the Prepayment, the parties agree
that Seller shall not be entitled to any Prepayment Refund. The Prepayment
Refund shall be payable within fifteen days of Brightstar's receipt of the
Prepayment Refund, as follows: (i) Two Hundred Forty-Four Thousand One Hundred
Sixty-Three US Dollars (US$244,163) shall be payable in immediately available
funds, and (ii) One Hundred Sixty-Two Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy-Five US
Dollars (US$162,775) shall be payable in Brightstar Stock. For purposes of this
Section 4(b), the number of shares transferred to Seller pursuant to subsection
(b)(ii) hereof shall be calculated by dividing the dollar value reflected in
subsection (b)(ii) hereof by: (x) the fair market value per share of the
Brightstar Stock as determined by HLHK at the time such Prepayment Refund is due
to Seller or, (y) if Brightstar has already undergone its initial public
offering, the closing price of the Brightstar Stock on the day immediately
preceding the date that the Prepayment Refund is due, as listed on a the Nasdaq

Customer of any of the Brightstar Parties during the one (1) year period prior
to the date of this Agreement.
(d) Non-Disparagement. Seller, Seller's Shareholders, and Seller's
officers and directors shall refrain from making any written or oral statement
or taking any action, directly or indirectly, which Seller or Seller's
Shareholders reasonably know or reasonably should know to be a disparaging or
negative comment concerning the Brightstar Parties with the
5
intent to injure or damage the Brightstar Parties, and shall refrain from
suggesting that any such disparaging or negative comment concerning the
Brightstar Parties be made except as may be compelled by a court of competent
jurisdiction.
(e) Independent Covenants. The covenants in this Section 9 shall be
deemed severable, and the invalidity of any covenant shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any other covenant or the validity of this
Agreement. The existence of any claim or cause of action by Seller or Seller's
Shareholders shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by any of the
Brightstar Parties of these covenants, but shall be litigated separately.
(f) Tolling of Time Periods. The time for calculating the term of
the restrictions contained herein shall not include any period of time during
which the covenant is violated or in which any legal action or other proceeding
is ongoing to enforce the terms of this Agreement through the date of final
judgment or final resolution, including all appeals, if any, of such legal
action or other proceeding, unless the Brightstar Parties fail to prevail in
such action or proceeding.
(g) Legitimate Business Interests. After discussion and consultation
or the opportunity to consult with their respective attorneys, the parties agree
that the Brightstar Parties have a legitimate business interest, which must be
protected under this Agreement. It is further acknowledged between the parties
hereto that the provisions contained in this Agreement are reasonable in terms
of scope, time and geographical location, that the restrictions contained herein
are reasonable restraints upon Seller and further acknowledge that any violation
of the terms of the covenants contained in this Agreement could have a
substantial detrimental effect on the legitimate business interests of the
Brightstar Parties. Seller has carefully considered the nature and extent of the
restrictions imposed upon it and the rights and remedies conferred upon the
Brightstar Parties under the provisions of this Agreement and hereby
acknowledges and agrees that same are designed to and are required to protect
the legitimate business interests of the Brightstar Parties, and do not confer a
benefit upon the Brightstar Parties disproportionate to the detriment of Seller.
(h) Injunctive Relief. It is further recognized and agreed between
the parties hereto that damages at law will be an insufficient remedy to the
Brightstar Parties in the event that Seller or Seller's Shareholders violate the
terms of this Agreement, and that the Brightstar Parties shall suffer
irreparable harm if Seller violates the terms of this Agreement. Therefore, in
the event Seller or Seller's Shareholders breach this covenant, the Brightstar
Parties shall have the right not only to pursue an action at law for damages,
but also to pursue an action for injunctive relief and specific performance of
this covenant from any court of competent jurisdiction without the posting of
any bond.
(i) Reconstruction of Restrictive Covenants. If any portions of the
terms of this Section 9 are held to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public
policy by a court exercising competent jurisdiction, such portion of the
covenant shall be considered divisible as to both time and geographical area.
The parties agree that if a court of competent jurisdiction determines the
specified time period or specified geographical area applicable to this Section
9 to be unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, the lesser time period
or geographical area
6
which is deemed to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy,
shall be enforced against Seller.
(j) Survival of Provisions. The provisions of this Section 9 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
