(US$

payable at Completion (for the avoidance of doubt adjustments shall
be
made according to Clause 3.3 (a-b), i. e., the US$ 300,000.00 CDA

according to Clause 3.3 (c) and the Deposit is to be deducted, making
the
net amount US$ 3,700,000.00) (the “Cash
Consideration”)
;
and
|
(b)
|
KIT
Shares issued on the following basis (the “Stock
Consideration”):
|
7
(i) |
US$
1,500,000
equivalent in KIT Shares, number determined based on the ten (10)
day
trailing weighted average market trading price six (6) months from
Completion, issued six (6) months from
Completion;
|
(ii) |
US$
1,500,000
equivalent in KIT Shares, number determined based on the twenty (20)
day
trailing weighted average market trading price thirteen (13) months
from
Completion, issued thirteen (13) months from Completion;
and
|
(iii) |
Subject
to Clause
3.2, US$ 3,000,000
equivalent in KIT
Shares, number determined based on the twenty (20) day trailing weighted
average market trading price twenty-one (21) months from Completion,
issued twenty-one (21) months from
Completion.
|
(c)
|
Notwithstanding
Clause
3.1(b), the Purchaser
shall have the right in its sole discretion to substitute
payment
in cash as an alternative to the issuance of the KIT
Shares.
|
(d)
|
If
the KIT Shares cease to be listed on a recognized stock exchange
(for
avoidance of doubt, the NASDAQ OTC market shall constitute a recognized
stock exchange), all payments under (i) – (iii) still outstanding at
such time shall be paid in cash instead of in KIT Shares.
|
The
Adjusted Purchase Price shall be allocated between the Vendors as set out in
Schedule 1.
3.2
|
The
issuance of KIT Shares under Clause 3.1(b)(iii)
is subject to meeting certain criteria as described as
follows:
|
(a)
|
The
Parties have determined
that the employees staff listed in Schedule
7 shall
be
retained in the continuing operation at least to following extent;
a
minimum 75% of the employees in question shall be retained during
12
months from the Completion Date and a minimum of 65% of these employees
be
retained during 21 months from Completion. The
Key Personnel will be retained in the employment of the Company for
a
period of 21 months from Completion. Any
termination by the Company of the employment of a Key Personnel shall
not
mean that this criteria has not been met, unless the termination
qualifies
as a termination based on personal reasons according to the Swedish
Employment Protection Act (Sw.
personliga skäl enligt lagen om anställningsskydd);
|
8
(c)
|
Clients
must be retained in any ongoing operations and 70% of Existing
Clients
as
of 1 April 2009 must continue as clients through 31 December 2009
AND
revenue from these clients must have grown during that 9 month period
by
more than 8%. However, if revenue growth is more than 8% from Existing
Clients
as
of 1 April 2009 in the 9 months ended 31 December 2009 a correspondingly
(number of percentage units by which revenue growth exceeds 8%) lower
percentage of client retention is acceptable provided that the client
retention is not below 50%.The
parties agree that the goal of this clause is to generate revenue
growth
from ongoing clients and to ensure against revenue concentration
amongst a
small number of clients.
|
(d)
|
The
revenue generated through the Purchaser’s Mobile
Business during
the 12 months period as from 1 June 2007 up to and including 31 May
2008,
which shall be determined prior to Completion, currently reported
at SEK
_______________ for the Company and SEK 0 for Purchaser,
must be at least maintained in the period of twelve months as from
1 June
2008 up to and including 31 May 2009 and increased by 10% in the
period of
nine months as from 1 June 2009 up to and including 28 February
2010.
|
3.3 |
Adjustments
to Purchase Price
|
(a) |
The
Purchase Price shall be adjusted to reflect the actual number of
Shares
purchased by the Purchaser at Completion (the “Sale
Shares”).
|
(b) |
The
portion of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Clause
3.1(a) is subject to the Company’s Working Capital being neutral at 18 May
2008. In the event of the Working Capital being above zero (-0-)
on that
date, the Purchaser will immediately compensate the Vendors
in
cash on a dollar for dollar basis, and in the event of the Working
Capital
being below zero (-0-) on that date, the Vendors
will immediately compensate the Purchaser in cash on a dollar for
dollar
basis. Any deviations in the Working Capital will be agreed between
the
Parties based
on the balance sheet as per 18 May 2008, to be prepared by the Purchaser.
If the Parties
have not agreed on the final Working Capital by the Completion Date,
either Party
may refer the settlement of the Working Capital as of Completion
to a
single arbitrator with PWC, paid for by the Parties
jointly. The
arbitrator will deliver the final amount of the Working Capital calculated
in accordance with this Agreement, within one month from his appointment.
The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive, and
the
Parties shall not be entitled to refer the decision to arbitration
according to Clause 22 of this Agreement. The Parties shall use best
efforts to establish the possible deviations in the Working Capital
before
Completion and such deviations shall in such case be deducted in
cash or
added in cash to the Purchase Price. Should the deviations not have
been
established before Completion, then payment of the deviation shall
be made
by the relevant Party in cash promptly after the deviation has been
established.
|
(c) |
The
portion
of the Purchase Price payable pursuant to Clause
3.1(a) will furthermore be reduced by any
indebtedness of the Company at Completion
in relation to:
|
(i) |
Almi
Loan as set out in Schedule 4, Part B;
and
|
9
(ii) |
Shareholder
loans of the Company of which there are three (3) as set out in Schedule
4, Part A, and
|
(iii) |
Vendors’
Group Obligations as set out in Schedule 4, Part
C.
|
Consequently,
only item (iii) above shall hereby be deducted from the Cash Consideration
payable to the Vendors’ Lawyer’s Client Account, whereas the items (i) and
(ii) above (which are also payable to the Vendors’ Lawyer’s Client
Account) are instead to be deducted from the Purchase Price.
The amount of the indebtedness shall be determined as per 18 May
2008
finally at Completion based on the terms of the relevant
agreements.
Any dispute in relation to such final determination will be settled
as set
out in b) above.
|
(d) |
During
the period from Signing Date and until 21 months after Completion,
the
Purchaser
shall, subject to the restrictions and responsibilities set out in
4.7 (c)
be entitled to manage the Company provided that any decisions or
acts
taken or made by the Purchaser which negatively impact the criteria
set
out in Clause
3.2 shall
not result in the adjustment of KIT Shares to be issued, provided
that Key
Personnel has advised the Purchaser in writing that the decisions
or acts
taken or made will negatively impact the criteria to be
achieved.
|
(e) |
Any
payment made by the Vendors
in
respect of a breach of this Agreement or arising under or pursuant
to this
Agreement shall be and shall be deemed to be pro tanto a reduction
in the
Purchase Price paid for the Shares under this Agreement.
|
3.4 |
Payment

Upon
Completion the Purchaser shall make the total payment as defined
in Clause
3.1 (a) above (i.e. subject to Clause 3.3 but not including Clause

(b) |
The
Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Cash Consideration shall be deemed to
have been fulfilled on payment: (i) of the Escrow Amount (as defined

Consideration,

disclosed, to the Vendors' Lawyers' Client Account.

by the
same circumstances as the relevant Third Party Claim, and in
that
connection the Purchaser shall give or cause to be given to the
Vendors
(provided it does not cause undue interference to the conduct
of the
Business) all such assistance as the Vendors may reasonably require
in
avoiding, disputing, resisting, settling, compromising, defending
or
appealing any Third Party Claim and shall instruct such legal
or other
professional advisors as the Vendors may nominate to act on behalf
of the
Purchaser or any relevant company, as appropriate, to act in
accordance
with the Vendors’
instruction. The Purchaser shall give the Vendors or the Vendors’ duly
authorized representatives, full access to the personnel of the
Purchaser
and/or the Company, as the case may be, and to any relevant premises,
accounts, documents and records within their respective possession,
and to
take copies thereof, in order to enable the Vendors or the Vendors’
duly
authorized representatives, to examine the basis of any potential
Third
Party Claim and defend against such claim; and
|
(c)
|
make
no admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise
with any

withheld
or delayed).
|
3.2 |

connection with any such Third Party claim, the Vendors
shall:
|
(a) |
at
all times keep the Purchaser informed as to its intentions with
regard to
the Vendors’ conduct and any material action the
Vendors
proposes to take in respect of the Third Party Claim in order
to allow the
Purchaser sufficient time to consider the matter and consult
with the
Vendors
about the Third Party Claim, and the Vendors shall take reasonable
account
of any
proposals made by the Purchaser in connection with the Third
Party claim;
and
|
(b) |
make
no admission of liability, agreement, settlement or compromise
with any
third party in relation to any Third Party Claim or adjudication
without
the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).

The
Vendors shall be entitled at any stage and at its absolute discretion
to

|
To
the extent that any payment is made by the Vendors to the Purchaser
in
respect of any Claim and the Company subsequently obtains a deduction
for
corporation tax purposes in respect of the whole or part of the
matter to
which such Claim relates then, to the extent that the payment
originally
made by the Vendors
did not reflect the availability of such deduction, the Vendors
shall be
entitled to reimbursement from the Purchaser of the amount of
corporation
tax saved as a result of the whole or part of such payment being
deductible for corporation tax purposes.
|
4.2
|
If,
in respect of any matter which would give rise to a Claim,
a
provision or allowance for the matter of the loss (whether as
a specific
reserve or as a general reserve) has been made in the accounts
of the
Company or the same is otherwise taken account of or reflected
in the
accounts of the Company, then no such matter will be the subject
of a
Claim.
|
5.
Recovery from Insurers and Other Third Parties
5.1
|
If,
in respect of any matter which would give rise to a Claim, the
Purchaser
or the Company is entitled to claim under any policy of insurance,
then no
such matter shall be the subject of a Claim unless and until
the Purchaser
or the Company shall have made a claim against the insurers and
used all
reasonable endeavours to pursue such claim and any Claim shall
be reduced
by the amount recovered under such policy provided that the time
limit in
paragraph 2 shall not expire until six
(6) months after the insurance claim has been settled or determined.
|
5.2
|
Where
the Purchaser or the Company is at any time entitled to recover
from some
other person any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to
a Claim the
Purchaser shall, subject to the Vendors
indemnifying the Purchaser or the relevant member of the Purchaser’s Group
against any cost, liability or expense in connection therewith,
take all
reasonable steps to enforce such recovery prior to taking action
against
the Vendors (other than to notify the Vendors of the Claim against
the
Vendors) and, in the event that the Purchaser or any member of
the
Purchaser’s Group shall recover any amount from such other person, the
amount of the Claim shall be reduced by the amount recovered
provided that
the Purchaser shall not be required to commence any legal proceedings
or
to take any action which would be materially prejudicial to the
goodwill
of the Business, provided that the time limit in paragraph 2
shall not
expire until 6
months after the claim against such other person has been settled
or
determined.
|
5.3
|
If
the Vendors pays at any time to the Purchaser an amount pursuant
to a
Claim and the Purchaser or the Company subsequently recovers
from some
other person any sum in respect of any matter giving rise to
the Claim,
the Purchaser, shall repay to the Vendors the lesser of (i) the
amount
paid by the Vendors to the Purchaser plus interest; or (ii) the
sum
including interest (if any) recovered from such other person.
|
5.4
|
For
the avoidance of doubt, references in this Paragraph 5 to amounts
recovered (and like expressions) are to the amounts so recovered
net of
the reasonable costs and expenses properly incurred in effecting
such
recovery.

is
attributable to:

was
aware or ought reasonably to have been aware would give rise to or increase

after
the date of this Agreement by the Purchaser or the Company or on its behalf.
