CONSIDERATION
|
5.1.
TRANSFER OF ASSETS. Pursuant to the terms and subject to
the conditions of this Agreement, in consideration for the sale, transfer,
conveyance, and assignment of the Assets, FEI agrees to pay to P1 the following
purchase price (the “Purchase Price”): Four Million Dollars
($4,000,000) in cash or cash equivalent, represented as follows: $3,500,000 in
FEI’s $.001 par value common stock (the “Shares”) and $500,000 in
cash to be paid no later than two (2) years from the Effective Date hereof.
Subsequent to the purchase of the P1 Assets, FEI and P1 shall mutually agree on
a third party valuation firm who will be retained by FEI to issue a valuation on
the P1 Assets. Upon completion and acceptance of the valuation by FEI and in the
event the valuation of the P1 Assets is below $2,000,000 or above $6,000,000,
the purchase price shall be adjusted accordingly. If the number of Shares as
adjusted is greater than the number of Shares issued initially in accordance
herewith, FEI shall issue additional Shares to P1 within three business days
after the valuation is completed and accepted by FEI. In the event the number of
Shares as adjusted is less than the number of Shares initially issued, P1 shall
return those Shares issued in excess of the Shares to be issued as adjusted
within three business days after the valuation is completed and accepted by FEI.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the cash portion of the purchase price shall
remain the same. The price per share of the Shares to be issued in accordance
with this Section 5.1 shall be determined by the greater of the 30 day
average of the Share closing trade price beginning on the day trading of the
Shares on the Over The Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”)
commences and ending thirty days thereafter, or the audited book value of
FEI’s assets on December
31, 2001, which shall be stated in FEI’s 10K filing for the year ending
2001. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, FEI shall issue P1 a
minimum of One Million One Hundred Sixty-Six Thousand Six Hundred Sixty-Seven
(1,166,667) Shares, payable at the Closing by physical transfer of shares in
accordance with the transfer instructions delivered to P1‘s legal counsel
by FEI no later than one (1) business day prior to the Closing to be held in
escrow until such time as both the price per share as determined herein and the
valuation of the Assets as provided for herein, and Five Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($500,000) in cash or cash equivalent, to be paid no later than
twenty-four months from the Effective Date hereof. All Shares issued shall be
restricted, fully paid, and nonassessable and shall contain all customary
rights, title and interest, including piggyback registration rights to any
future registration of shares conducted by FEI. It shall be the responsibility
of P1 to deliver to FEI an Accredited Investor Representation as well as
Investor Representation prior to the Closing.
|
|
5.2.
ALLOCATION OF PURCHASE PRICE. Within ninety (90) days
following the Closing Date, FEI will provide to P1 an allocation statement (the
“Asset Allocation Statement”) with FEI’s proposed allocation of
the aggregate consideration payable pursuant to Section 5.1 among the Assets.
Within fifteen (15) days after the receipt of such Asset Allocation Statement,
P1 will propose to FEI any changes to such Asset Allocation Statement (and in
the event no such changes are proposed in writing to FEI within such time
period, P1 will be deemed to have agreed to, and accepted, the Asset Allocation
Statement). P1 and FEI will endeavor in good faith to resolve any differences
with respect to the Asset Allocation Statement within fifteen (15) days after
FEI’s receipt of written notice of objection from P1.
|
9
|
5.2.1.
Subject to Sections 5.2.2, the parties hereto agree (i)
to use the allocations set forth in the Asset Allocation Statement provided by
FEI to P1 pursuant to Section 5.2 above, for accounting, financial reporting and
Tax purposes; (ii) that such allocations shall be in accordance with, and as
provided by, Section 1060 of the Tax Code; and (iii) that any Tax returns or
other Tax information they may file or cause to be filed with any Governmental
Authority or fiscal intermediary shall be prepared and filed consistently with
such allocation. The parties agree that, to the extent required, they will each
properly and timely file Form 8594 in accordance with Section 1060 of the Tax
Code.
|
|
5.2.2.
If P1 withholds its consent, in the manner and within
the time period specified in Section 5.2, to the allocation reflected in the
Asset Allocation Statement, and P1 and FEI have acted in good faith to resolve
any differences with respect to items on the Asset Allocation Statement and
thereafter are unable to resolve any differences that, in the aggregate, are
material, then any remaining disputed matters will be finally and conclusively
determined by an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing
(the “Allocation Arbiter”) selected by P1 and FEI, which firm shall
not be the regular accounting firm of P1 or FEI. Promptly, but not later than
fifteen (15) days after its acceptance of appointment hereunder, the Allocation
Arbiter will determine (based solely on presentations by P1 and FEI and not by
independent review) only those matters in dispute and will render a written
report as to the disputed matters and the resulting allocation of Purchase
Price, which report shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. P1 and FEI
shall share equally in all costs attributable to the review and determination by
the Allocation Arbiter.
|
|
5.3.
SALES OR USE TAXES. All sales, use and other similar
Taxes, charges and fees, if any, arising out of or in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (other than any income, capital
gains and other similar Taxes, charges and fees imposed on, or imposed in
respect of, the income or gain of P1), shall be paid by FEI subsequent to the
Execution Date. Each of the parties shall cooperate with the other to the extent
reasonably required and permitted by Applicable Law in order to eliminate or
minimize any such Tax. Without limiting the foregoing, to the extent any such
Tax is imposed, P1 shall prepare and file any required Tax returns in connection

any such Tax.

that P1 is unable to obtain any such Consent, or if any attempted assignment or
novation would be ineffective or would restrain, prohibit or otherwise interfere
with the effective operation or enjoyment by FEI of all or any material portion
of the Assets as contemplated hereby, P1 will reasonably cooperate with FEI, to
the extent permitted by law, in a reasonable arrangement under which FEI would,
to the fullest extent possible, obtain the benefits and assume the obligations

Execution Date and until the Closing Date. Any such disclosure shall be in the
form of an updated Schedule, marked to reflect the new or amended information.

THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS. The obligations and liabilities of
each party to this Agreement under Section 12.2 related to Third-Party Claims
shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
|
|
12.3.1.
PARTICIPATION BY INDEMNIFYING AND INDEMNIFIED PARTY.
Upon receipt of written notice of any Third-Party Claim asserted against,
imposed upon or incurred by an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall
notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing. The Indemnifying Party shall
be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in and, upon notice to the
Indemnified Party, to undertake the defense thereof in good faith by counsel of
the Indemnifying Party’s own choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided that (i) the Indemnified Party
shall at all times have the option, at its own expense, to participate fully
therein (without controlling such action) and (ii) if in the Indemnified
Party’s reasonable judgment (as evidenced and supported by an opinion of
its legal counsel who will not be the same counsel who will represent the
Indemnified Party in the underlying case) a conflict of interest exists between
such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third-Party
Claim, such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to select counsel of its own
choosing, reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, and the
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
such counsel.
|
|
12.3.2.
FAILURE BY INDEMNIFYING PARTY TO DEFEND. If within
thirty (30) days after written notice to the Indemnified Party of the
Indemnifying Party’s intention to undertake the defense of any Third-Party
Claim the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend the Indemnified Party against
such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will have the right (but not the
obligation) to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such
Third-Party Claim on behalf of, and for the account and at the risk of, the
Indemnifying Party.
|
|
12.3.3.
RIGHT OF INDEMNIFIED PARTY TO DEFEND AND SETTLE.
Anything in this Section 12.3 to the contrary notwithstanding, if a Third-Party
Claim is asserted against an Indemnified Party and there is a reasonable
probability in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable good faith judgment that
a Third-Party Claim may materially and adversely effect the Indemnified Party,
other than as a result of the imposition of money damages or other money
payments, (i) the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its sole option, to
take over the defense of such Third-Party Claim (in which case the Indemnifying
Party and the Indemnified Party shall share equally the cost and expense of such
defense) or to co- defend such Third-Party Claim (in which case the Indemnified
Party shall assume the cost and expense of the additional counsel) and no
compromise or settlement of such Third-Party Claim shall be permitted without
the consent of both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and (ii)
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior
written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third-Party Claim
or consent to the entry of any judgment relating to any such Third-Party Claim,
unless such settlement, compromise or judgment includes as an unconditional term
thereof that the Indemnified Party shall be released from all liabilities in
respect of such Third-Party Claim.
|
|
12.4.
LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS.
|
|
12.4.1.
LIMITATION. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Section 12 to the contrary, no party shall assert a Claim against the other
party for indemnification hereunder, unless and until the amount of all Damages
determined to have been incurred or suffered at the time by the Indemnified
Party exceeds, in the aggregate, $100,000, (the “Threshold Amount”)
and then only for the excess of such amount. The parties hereto further
acknowledge and agree that the total indemnification obligations of each party
hereto under this Agreement shall not exceed, in the aggregate for such party,
$4,000,000. The foregoing limitations shall not apply to Claims made by a party
with respect to fraud on the part of the other party or a breach by the other
party of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any Related
Agreement, of which such breaching party had knowledge on or prior to the
Closing, or to a breach by FEI of its obligations under Section 5.3.
|
18
|
12.5.
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. No party hereto shall have any
liability under any provision of this Agreement for, and in no event shall any
