2.1. Purchase and Sale. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, at the Closing the Sellers will sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer will purchase from the Sellers, the Common Stock, free and clear of all Liens.
2.2. Purchase Price; Payment. The "Purchase Price" shall be paid as follows:
(a) Cash Payment. At Closing, the Buyer shall deliver, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to accounts designated in writing by each of the Sellers on the Closing Date, in cash, (US)One Million Four Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ((US)$1,400,000.00) allocated between the Sellers in proportion to their relative ownership of RVR Common Stock as set forth in Section 4.5 hereof.
(b) Buyer Stock. At the Closing, the Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers shares of Buyer common stock ("Buyer Stock"), which based on a 15-day volume-weighted average trading price ("VWAP") of the Buyer Stock ending as of three business days immediately prior to the date of execution by all parties of this First Amended And Restated Stock Purchase Agreement, is calculated to be equal to (US) One Million Eight Hundred Fifty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars (US)($1,850,000.00) allocated between the Sellers in accordance with Schedule 2.2, less the holdback of (US)$50,000 in Buyer common stock ("Holdback Stock"), based on the same 15-day VWAP as for the Buyer Stock. The holdback of the Holdback Stock shall continue until the first anniversary of the Closing Date as collateral for payment of any undisclosed liabilities.

After the first anniversary of the Closing Date, at the option of Buyer, the holdback amount can be used to settle any other obligations under this Agreement, including any indemnification amounts outstanding according to Section 8.1. The shares of Buyer Stock delivered hereunder shall be restricted and shall include a legend restricting their sale or other transfer or disposition pursuant to U.S. securities laws as set forth in Section 4.18(i);
(c) Economic Effective Date and Post-Economic Effective Date Purchase Price Adjustment. For economic purposes, the economic effective date of the purchase and sale of the Common Stock of RVR will be 11:59 p.m., Malaysia time, December 31, 2016 (the "Economic Effective Date"). Accordingly, except as specifically provided in this Section, Sellers are not entitled to any payments or distributions from RVR that are allocable to periods subsequent to the Economic Effective Date, except for the reimbursement of properly documented business expenses and except for salary at the rate provided for in the Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. As soon as reasonably practicable after the later of the Closing Date and the Economic Effective Date, Buyer will provide Sellers with a Post-Economic Effective Date Purchase Price Adjustment, based on RVR's operations through the Economic Effective Date. The Post-Economic Effective Date Purchase Price Adjustment will be calculated according to U.S. GAAP, and will (i) increase the amount of the Purchase Price by all revenue realized, if any, according to U.S. GAAP, by RVR after the Closing Date and prior to the Economic Effective Date but not received in cash by RVR at or before the Economic Effective Date; (ii) decrease the amount of the Purchase Price by all costs and expenses realized, if any, according to U.S. GAAP, by RVR after the Closing Date and prior to the Economic Effective Date but provided that those costs and expenses were not paid out by RVR at or before the Economic Effective Date; (iii) decrease the amount of the Purchase Price by all revenue realized, if any, according to U.S. GAAP, by RVR after the Economic Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, provided that such revenue received in cash by RVR at or before the Closing Date; and (iv) increase the amount of the Purchase Price by all costs and expenses realized, if any, according to U.S. GAAP, by RVR after the Economic Effective Date and prior to the Closing Date, provided that those costs and expenses were not paid out by RVR at or before the Closing Date. Adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to the terms of this paragraph will continue to be paid in cash by both the Buyer and the Sellers after Closing within 10 days after which one party gives notice of any such adjustment to the other party. If not paid within 10 days after such notice, the notifying party may offset the amount owed pursuant to such adjustment by any amounts due to the non-paying party.
(d) The Milestone Payment. As promptly as practicable after December 31, 2017, and in any event no later than March 15, 2018, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a statement which sets forth RVR's actual sales for the twelve (12) months ending December 31, 2017 (the "Milestone Payment Statement"). The Sellers shall have the opportunity to review and evaluate all working papers, worksheets and other documents utilized by Buyer in the preparation of the Milestone Payment Statement. The Milestone Payment Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, each Seller, unless the Sellers, collectively, deliver an objection (detailing each item in dispute and the reason for such dispute) to Buyer within twenty-five (25) days after the delivery of the Milestone Payment Statement; it being understood that all items not included in any such objection shall be binding and conclusive upon, and deemed accepted by, each Seller. The parties shall attempt to resolve any disputed items in good faith within thirty (30) days of Buyer's receipt of such objection. Any unresolved items will be resolved by a third-party audit firm approved of by Sellers and Buyer. Any fees associated with the review by the audit firm shall be borne 50% by Buyer and 50% by Sellers, with each Seller jointly and severally liable for the full portion of any amount to be paid by Sellers. Any Cash Milestone Payments earned and payable shall be paid to the Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the accounts designated in writing by the Sellers at least three business days prior to such payment date and allocated between the Sellers in accordance with Schedule 2.2. Any Stock Milestone Payments shall be allocated between the Sellers in accordance with Schedule 2.2.
(i)
|
The "Cash Milestone Payment" shall be (US)$100,000 multiplied by the Milestone Proration Amount.
|
(ii)
|
The "Stock Milestone Payment" shall be (US)$150,000 of Buyer common stock based on the 15-day VWAP described in Section 2.2(c) multiplied by the Milestone Proration Amount (together with the Cash Milestone Payment, the "Milestone Payment").
|
(iii)
|
During the Milestone Period, the parties agree that, except with the written consent of the Sellers, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, Buyer shall not take any action or engage in any transaction or series of related transactions, or enter into an agreement to do the same, the intent or effect of which, viewed at the time such action or transaction occurs or such agreement is entered into, is to deprive the Sellers of any benefits of or impairing any rights of the Sellers under this Section 2.2. In addition to, and without limiting Buyer's obligations in the immediately prior sentence, during the Milestone Period, Buyer shall keep a separate set of accounts for RVR's business so that the Milestone Payments can be calculated more easily. Without prejudice to Section 6.7, during the Milestone Period, neither Buyer nor its Affiliates shall conduct, in competition with RVR in Malaysia, the same business or substantially similar business as the then-current business of RVR.
|
2.3. Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, on or after the date of this Agreement, all such other customary instruments and will take all such other reasonable actions as may be reasonably necessary to perfect the transfer and conveyance of the Common Stock to Buyer, and the Buyer Stock to each of the Sellers, on the terms herein contained, to consummate the other transactions contemplated hereby and to effectuate the provisions and purposes hereof.
