(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement (including the conditions to Purchase set forth in Article III), the Seller hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer, and the Buyer hereby purchases and takes from the Seller, all right, title and interest of the Seller in the property identified in clauses (i) through (iii) below, whether constituting accounts, cash and currency, chattel paper, tangible chattel paper, electronic chattel paper, copyrights, copyright licenses, equipment, fixtures, contract rights, general intangibles, instruments, certificates of deposit, certificated securities, uncertificated securities, financial assets, securities entitlements, commercial tort claims, deposit accounts, inventory, investment property, letter-of-credit rights, software, supporting obligations, accessions or other property of the Seller, including the following (in each case excluding any Excluded Amounts) (collectively, the “Sale Assets”):

(i) the Receivables listed on Schedule I to the Sale Assignment, together with all monies due or to become due in payment under such Receivables on and after the Closing Date, including, but not limited to, all Collections and all interest accrued with respect to the Receivables but unpaid as of the Closing Date;

(ii) all Related Security with respect to the Receivables referred to in clause (i) above; and

(iii) all income and Proceeds of the foregoing.

For avoidance of doubt, each of Fair, Durham and Xxxxxxx, as the collective “Seller” hereunder, hereby sells, transfers, assigns, sets over and otherwise conveys to the Buyer all of such Person’s undivided interest in the Sale Assets, which collectively constitute one hundred percent (100%) of the undivided interests in the Sale Assets.

(b) The Seller shall, on the Closing Date, execute and deliver to the Buyer a certificate of assignment (the “Sale Assignment”) in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

(c) The Buyer shall not have any obligation or liability to any Obligor (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of the Seller (including any obligation with respect to any other related agreements)). No such obligation or liability is intended to be assumed by the Buyer, and any such assumption is expressly disclaimed.

(d) In connection with the Purchase of Sale Assets hereunder, the Seller shall have delivered the Required Receivable Files to the Buyer prior to the Closing.

(e) In connection with the transfers contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer an irrevocable, non–exclusive license to use, without royalty or payment of any kind, all software used by the Seller to account for the Sale Assets, to the extent necessary to administer the Sale Assets, whether such software is owned by the Seller or is owned by others and used by the Seller under license agreements with respect thereto; provided that should the consent of any licensor of such software be required for the grant of the license described herein to be effective or for the Seller to assign such license to the Buyer, the Seller hereby agrees that upon the request of the Buyer, the Seller will use its best efforts to obtain the consent of such third—party licensor. The license granted hereby shall be irrevocable. The Seller (i) shall take such action requested by the Buyer from time to time hereafter that may be necessary or appropriate to ensure that the Buyer and its assigns have an enforceable ownership or security interest in the Sale Assets purchased by the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) shall use its best efforts to ensure that each of the Buyer has an enforceable right (whether by license or sublicense or otherwise) to use all of the computer software used to account for the Sale Assets and/or to recreate the related Servicing Files.

(f) In connection with the purchases by the Buyer of the Sale Assets as contemplated by this Agreement, the Seller further agrees that it will, at its own expense, indicate clearly and unambiguously in its computer files on or prior to the Closing Date, and in the footnotes to its financial statements, that such Sale Assets have been purchased by the Buyer in accordance with this Agreement.

(g) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the conveyances of all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to any Sale Assets to the Buyer as provided in this Section 2.1 shall constitute absolute transfers conveying good title, free and clear of any Lien and that the Sale Assets shall not be part of the bankruptcy estate of the Seller (or, for avoidance of doubt, any member of Seller, being Fair, Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx) in the event of an Insolvency Event with respect to the Seller. Furthermore, it is not intended that any such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Receivables and the other Sale Assets to the Buyer to secure a debt or other obligation of the Seller. If, however, notwithstanding the intention of the parties, any conveyance provided for in this Section 2.1 is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be a transfer for security (an “Inconsistent Determination”), then this Agreement shall also be deemed to be, and hereby is, a “security agreement” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC and the Seller hereby grants to the Buyer a “security interest” within the meaning of Article 9 of the UCC in all of its right, title and interest in, to and under the related Sale Assets, now existing and hereafter created, to secure the prompt and complete payment of a

loan deemed to have been made in an amount equal to the Purchase Price of such Sale Assets together with all of the other obligations of the Seller hereunder. The Buyer shall have, in addition to the rights and remedies which it may have under this Agreement, all other rights and remedies provided to a secured creditor under the UCC and other Applicable Law, which rights and remedies shall be cumulative. In connection herewith, the Buyer shall be permitted to file protective UCC financing statements necessary for the Buyer to have a perfected security interest in the Sale Assets in the event of an Inconsistent Determination (each a “Protective Filing”). Furthermore, automatically upon an Inconsistent Determination and without any further action by the Seller or the Buyer, or any amendment to this Agreement being required, each representation or warranty by the Seller attesting as to the valid conveyance of Sale Assets shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the Seller has granted the Buyer a valid and continuing security interest in the Sale Assets, free and clear of all Liens.

Section 2.2. Purchase Price.

The purchase price for the Sale Assets sold to the Buyer by the Seller under this Agreement shall be an amount equal to $3,594,354 (the “Purchase Price”), which is made up of the sum of (a) for Sale Assets comprising Portfolio A, $2,757,471, plus (b) for Sale Assets comprising Portfolio B, $836,883, in each case to be paid in accordance with Section 2.3.

Section 2.3. Payment of Purchase Price.

(a) The Purchase Price for the Sale Assets shall be paid as follows: (i) $1,797,178.00 of the aggregate Purchase Price shall be paid to the Seller on the Closing Date in immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Seller (which specification shall be furnished to the Buyer in writing prior to the Closing), of which $1,417,737.46 shall be paid to the account specified by Fair, $54,000.08 shall be paid to the account specified by Xxxxxxx, and $325,440.46 shall be paid to the account specified by Durham, (ii) $898,588.00 shall be financed by the Seller and paid pursuant to the terms of the Notes, and (iii) the Buyer shall transfer to the Seller on the Closing Date 2,496,077 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, of CLST Holdings, Inc. at a deemed sale price of $0.36 per share, of which 1,969,077 shares shall be issued to Fair, 75,000 shares shall be issued to Xxxxxxx, and 452,000 shares shall be issued to Durham, all for an aggregate deemed purchase price for such shares of $898,588.00 (the “Parent Stock”).

ARTICLE III.

(C) any claim, dispute, defense or offset by an Obligor with respect to a Receivable (other than a bankruptcy discharge of such Obligor) arising from origination or servicing of that Receivable prior to the Closing Date (including a defense based on the Receivable not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms);

(c) If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 9.1 is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Seller shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and the Seller, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

(d) Indemnification under this Section 9.1 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such tax or refund on the amount of tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.
