Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall give the independent accounting firm access at all reasonable times to the books, records, accounts and work papers used to prepare the Supplemental Working Capital Report and to the Sellers’ and the Purchaser’s respective financial employees and accountants involved in the preparation and verification of the Supplemental Working Capital Report. After completing the Determination, the independent accounting firm shall deliver notice of the Determination to the Purchaser and the Sellers and upon receipt thereof, the Determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto with respect to such Disputed Matter. The final determination of the Working Capital of the Business as of the Closing Date shall be as set forth in the Supplemental Working Capital Report as adjusted by any disputes resolved by the Parties and by the independent accounting firm’s Determination, if any, and such final adjusted amounts will be set forth in a final working capital statement (the “Final Working Capital Statement”).

The costs of hiring such independent accounting firm will be borne equally by the Sellers and the Purchaser.

(c) Within ten (10) days after the determination of the Final Working Capital in accordance with Section 2.2(c), the Sellers or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall make a cash true-up payment to the other so that, after giving effect to such payment, the Sellers and the Purchaser are in the same position they would have been had such final amounts been known at the Closing and had the payment made under Section 2.2(b) been made based on the Final

Working Capital amounts rather than an estimated amount. Any payment due to a party pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the party entitled to such payment, and the party entitled to such payment shall provide written wire instructions to the paying party for such account at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of payment.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Purchaser delivers written notice of Known Breaches to the Sellers prior to Closing as set forth in Section 3.2(a), but still consummates the transactions contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser shall be entitled to indemnification with respect to any such Known Breach without regard to any of the limitations set forth in Section 8.2(b)(ii).

(c) From and after the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify, protect, defend, pay and hold harmless each Seller and each of the Seller Parties from and against any and all

Claims arising in favor of or brought by any of the Sellers Parties, or by any Governmental Entity or any other third party, based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of:

(i) the breach of any representation or warranty (which breach has not been waived in writing by the Sellers) made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by the Purchaser to either Seller with respect thereto in connection with the Closing;

(ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement (which breach has not been waived in writing by the Sellers) made by the Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by the Purchaser to either Seller with respect thereto in connection with the Closing; or

(iii) any Assumed Liabilities.

(d) The indemnification provided for in Section 8.2(c) is subject to the following limitations:

(i) The Purchaser will be liable to the Seller Parties with respect to Claims referred to in Section 8.2(c)(i) only if either Seller gives the Purchaser written notice thereof on or prior to the Applicable Limitation Date.

(ii) The Purchaser shall not be liable to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties with respect to Claims referred to in Section 8.2(c)(i) until the Seller Parties have first suffered, sustained or incurred aggregate losses with respect to claims referred to in Section 8.2(c)(i) in excess of the Loss Threshold, at which point the Purchaser will be liable to indemnify the Seller Parties and hold them harmless from and against all such Claims in excess of the Loss Threshold, subject to the limitations on recovery and recourse set forth in this Section 8.2;

(iii) The aggregate amount of all payments made by the Purchaser in satisfaction of claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(c) shall not exceed the Cap.

So long as either Seller delivers written notice of a Claim to the Purchaser no later than the Applicable Limitation Date, the Purchaser shall be required to indemnify the Seller Parties (subject to the conditions and the limitations contained herein) regardless of when incurred.

(e) A person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnified Person”) shall give prompt written notice to any Person who is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement (an “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement or assertion of any Claim by a third party (collectively, a “third-party action”) in respect of which such Indemnified Person shall seek indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that such Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Person under this Article VIII unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such third-party action on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that:

(i) The Indemnified Person shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such third-party action; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Person only if (A) the employment of separate counsel shall have been authorized in writing by any Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such third-party action, (B) the Indemnified Person’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Person in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there may be material defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or in addition to those available to the Indemnifying Party or (C) the Indemnified Person’s counsel shall have advised the Indemnified Person in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a material conflict of interest that could violate applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel;

(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Person before entering into or making any settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment, injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Person;

(iii) No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Person of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and

(iv) The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment of any third-party action (A) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time or (B) to the extent the third-party action seeks an order, injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Person which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets or financial condition of the Indemnified Person; provided, however, that the Indemnified Person shall make no settlement, compromise, admission or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.

(f) The obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify any Indemnified Party against any Claim arising under this Article VIII shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance proceeds receivable by the Indemnified Person.

(g) To the extent it is determined (either by a final nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or by mutual written agreement of the Parties) that the Purchaser is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII following the operation of the procedures set forth in subsection (c) above, if the Sellers have not made payment of such amount within 10 calendar days of such judgment or agreement, any amounts payable in respect of such indemnification may be offset by the Purchaser against any payment obligations of Purchaser under the Placement Agreement.

(h) For purposes of determining whether a Seller or the Purchaser shall be required to indemnify a Purchaser Party or a Seller Party, respectively, each representation and warranty contained in this Agreement for which indemnification can be or is sought hereunder shall be read (including for purposes of determining whether a breach of such representation or warranty has occurred) without regard to materiality (including a Seller Material Adverse Effect or a Purchaser Material Adverse Effect) qualifications that may be contained therein.

(i) Each Purchaser Party, Seller and Indemnified Person shall take and shall cause their respective Affiliates to take reasonable steps to mitigate and otherwise minimize the losses arising from any Claim upon and after becoming aware of any event which would reasonably be expected to give rise to any Claim.

(j) Each of the Sellers and the Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, after the Closing, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser Parties and the Seller Parties with respect to Claims or otherwise, including those set forth in Section 8.2, in connection with, arising out of or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be in accordance with, and limited solely to indemnification under, the provisions of this Article VIII.

(k) The Sellers and the Purchaser shall treat any payments that the Purchaser or the Sellers receive pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to or refund of the Purchase Price for federal Tax purposes, unless a final determination (which shall include the execution of a Form 870-AD or successor form) with respect to the Purchaser and the Sellers causes such payment not to be treated as an adjustment to or refund of the Purchase Price for federal Tax purposes.

(l) Each Party shall cooperate, and cause their respective Affiliates and representatives to cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any third-party action and shall furnish or cause to be furnished such records, information and testimony (subject to any applicable confidentiality agreement), and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials or appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

(m) No Party shall be liable for any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or lost profits arising out of, based upon or resulting from the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement or any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement, unless such damages are awarded in connection with a Claim by a third party.

ARTICLE IX
ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

9.1 Continuing Assistance. Subsequent to the Closing, the Sellers and the Purchaser (at their own cost) shall assist each other (including making records available) in the preparation of their respective Tax Returns and the filing and execution of Tax elections, if required, as well as any audits or litigation that ensue as a result of the filing thereof, to the extent that such assistance is reasonably requested.

9.2 Tax Matters.

(a) Apportionment of Ad Valorem and Property Taxes.

(i) All ad valorem taxes, real property taxes, personal property taxes and similar obligations (“Property Taxes”) attributable to the Acquired Assets with respect to the tax period in which the Closing Date occurs shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date among the Sellers and the Purchaser determined by prorating such Property Taxes on a daily basis over the entire tax period. For purposes of this Agreement, “prorated” or prorating” shall mean the allocation to each of the Sellers and the Purchaser, as the case may be, of the portion of the Property Taxes equal to the amount of such Property Taxes multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days that the Acquired Assets were owned by the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case may be, and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the year in question.

(ii) The Sellers have or will have rendered and will pay to the taxing authorities all Property Taxes that are required to be rendered prior to the Closing on the Acquired Assets for the calendar year ending December 31, 2007. The Purchaser shall render and pay or cause to be paid to the taxing authorities all Property Taxes that are required to be rendered subsequent to the Closing on the Acquired Assets for the calendar year ending December 31, 2007. The Purchaser and the Sellers hereby agree that the aggregate amount of Property Taxes due and payable on the Acquired Assets for the calendar year ending December 31, 2007 is $882,978 and liability for such amount shall be prorated between the Sellers and the Purchaser. The Sellers shall send to the Purchaser a statement setting forth such proration of the Property Taxes as of the Closing Date. Any amounts paid or estimated to be paid to the taxing authorities in respect of Property Taxes by each of the Sellers and the Purchaser shall be credited to the amount owed to the other party in respect of such prorated amount of Property Taxes. At Closing, either the Sellers or the Purchaser, as appropriate, shall pay to the other party the balance of any amounts due in respect of prorated Property Taxes over and above such credited amounts.

(b) Transfer Taxes. The Purchaser shall be responsible for and shall pay (or remit to the Sellers for payment if required by applicable legal requirements) all transfer,

documentary, sales, use, stamp, recording, registration, and other similar Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest thereon), if any, required to be paid in connection with the sale of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

9.3 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise permitted by this Agreement, the Sellers and the Purchaser and their Affiliates shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement or making any other public (or non-confidential) disclosure (whether or not in response to an inquiry) regarding the terms of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither shall issue any such press release or make any such statement or disclosure without the prior approval of the other, except as may be required by applicable law or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any domestic or foreign securities exchange or with the NASD, in which case the Party proposing to issue such press release or make such public statement or disclosure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party before issuing such press release or making such public statement or disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge that a joint press release will be issued at Closing, and will reasonably cooperate in preparing such press release.

9.4 Further Transfers. The Sellers shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as the Purchaser may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to the Purchaser of the Acquired Assets and any other transactions contemplated hereby. The Purchaser shall execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such additional action as the Sellers may reasonably request to effect, consummate, confirm or evidence the transfer to the Purchaser of the Acquired Liabilities and any other transactions contemplated hereby.

9.5 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Sellers and the Purchaser shall pay all of their own fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees, costs and expenses of legal counsel, investment bankers, brokers or other representatives and consultants and appraisal fees, costs and expenses) incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated hereby, the performance of their obligations hereunder and thereunder, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

9.6 Restrictive Covenants.

(a) Non-Competition. From and after the Closing until the expiration of the term of the Placement Agreement, and any extensions thereto, the Sellers shall not, and shall cause each of their respective then-current majority-owned subsidiaries and each of their respective then-current employees (collectively, the “Non-Competition Group”) not to, engage in any Competing Business. The Sellers hereby agree that the Sellers shall not, and shall cause members of the Non-Competition Group not to, take any action, directly or indirectly, intended to enable it to avoid its obligations under this Section 9.6. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Competing Business” means the business of owning or operating ATM Kiosks or Vcom Kiosks outside of 7-Eleven stores and within the United States of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Sellers or members of the Non-

Competition Group from owning securities of any corporation which are either traded on a national securities exchange or quoted on the automated quotation system of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.; provided, that (i) the Sellers or members of the Non-Competition Group are not deemed to be an “affiliate” of such entity as such term is used in Rule 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, and (ii) the Seller and members of the Non-Competition Group do not own or hold more than five percent (5%) of any voting securities of such entity.

(b) Mutual Non-Solicitation. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, none of the Parties shall directly or indirectly through another Person (i) induce or attempt to induce any employee of the other Party who, during the course of employment with such Party or its Subsidiaries, has had as his or her primary responsibility to work in the Business (each, an “Employee”) to leave the employ of such Party or in any way interfere with the relationship between such Party and any Employee thereof, (ii) hire any person who is or has been an Employee for the other Party within the previous 180 days or (iii) induce or attempt to induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee or other business relation of the other Party (whose relation is primarily related to the Business) to cease doing business with such Party, or materially and adversely interfere with the relationship between any such customer, supplier, licensee or business relation and such Party; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 9.6 to the contrary, no Party shall be deemed to be in breach of this Section 9.6 as the result of a solicitation through a general advertising campaign.

(c) Remedy for Breach. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach by the other Party of the provisions of Section 9.6, monetary damages shall not constitute a sufficient remedy. Consequently, in the event of any such breach, the Sellers, the Purchaser and/or their respective successors or assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court of law or equity of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive or other relief in order to enforce or prevent any violations of the provisions hereof, in each case without the requirement of posting a bond or proving actual damages. The restrictions in this Section 9.6 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific limitation or restriction shall not affect any other limitation or restriction. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the intention of the Parties hereto that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

9.7 Vault Cash and Replacement Vault Cash Facility. The cash located in each of the ATM Kiosks and Vcom Kiosks that is owned by the Sellers is referenced herein as the “Gap Cash”. The cash located in each of the ATM Kiosks and Vcom Kiosks that is owned by Xxxxx Fargo Bank, N.A. (“Xxxxx Fargo”) is referenced herein as the “Vault Cash” and has been placed in the ATM Kiosks and Vcom Kiosks pursuant to the Cash Purchase Agreement between Xxxxx Fargo and the Sellers. In no event will the Vault Cash constitute any part of the Acquired Assets. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser shall negotiate and enter into an arrangement or contract with a financial institution to provide Vault Cash from and after the Closing (the “Replacement Vault Cash Facility”) such that at no time shall there be an interruption in the provision of Vault Cash to the Business.

9.8 Employee Matters. The Sellers have provided to the Purchaser as of the date hereof a list of employees of the Sellers associated with the Business setting forth the status of such employees and their compensation, who will be full-time, active employees on the Closing Date, including those on temporary leave for jury duty, family and short-term medical leave, vacation or military duty. Within thirty (30) days of the date hereof, the Purchaser shall provide to Sellers a list of such employees to whom the Purchaser would like to consider for employment (the “Employee List”), and the Purchaser shall have the right to contact and negotiate potential terms of employment with the individuals on the Employee List. Employees of the Sellers who accept offers of employment with Purchaser and become employees of Purchaser at the time of Closing shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.” Employees of the Sellers not offered employment, or who decline employment, and Transferred Employees who do not report for work with Purchaser shall remain the responsibility of the Sellers. The Sellers shall also be responsible for any Liabilities arising from the termination of the Transferred Employees’ employment with the Sellers. Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, the terms of the Transferred Employees’ employment shall be upon such terms and conditions as the Purchaser, in its sole discretion, shall determine. The Purchaser shall count and credit each Transferred Employee’s years of service with the Sellers for purposes of eligibility to participate in any benefits generally available to Purchaser’s employees. This provision shall not be construed to create any third party beneficiaries nor to vest any rights in parties other than those signatories to this Agreement.

9.9 Allocation of Purchase Price. Within 60 days of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith and mutually agree on a schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) of the allocation (the “Allocation”) of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities among the Acquired Assets pursuant to the provisions of Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. Upon any adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Agreement, the Parties shall amend the allocation as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.1060-1. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall not take any position on their respective Tax returns that is inconsistent with the Allocation of the Purchase Price as set forth in the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, as amended. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall duly prepare and timely file Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 and any comparable state, local or foreign forms (including any successor forms) (collectively the “1060 Forms”) and any required attachments thereto required under Section 1060 of the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder or any provisions of state, local, or foreign law in accordance with the Allocation among the Assets as set forth in the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, as amended. The Parties shall cooperate in the preparation of any 1060 Forms and shall file such 1060 Forms in the manner required by applicable law.

9.10 Third Party Consents. As set forth in Section 4.2(d), the Sellers are obligated to use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent or approval from any Person that is a counterparty to a contract identified in the Required Consent Schedule, and the Purchaser’s obligation to close is conditioned upon the receipt of such consents; provided, that in no event shall the Sellers be required to make any expenditure of money or amend the terms of any other agreement between the Sellers and such counterparty to obtain such consent or approval. To the extent that any such consents (or any similar third-party consents not listed on the Required Consent Schedule) have not been obtained as of the Closing, this Agreement and any document delivered pursuant hereto will not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof if

such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach of an Assumed Contract or would give rise to a valid right of termination thereof and, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such Assumed Contract shall not be deemed an Acquired Asset. If any such third-party consent has not be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cooperate, at the Purchaser’s expense, with the Purchaser to establish a reasonable arrangement designed to provide the Purchaser with the benefits and burdens of any such Assumed Contract, including appointing the Purchaser to act as its agent to perform all of the Sellers’ obligations under such Assumed Contract and to collect and promptly remit to the Purchaser all compensation received by the Sellers pursuant to such Assumed Contract and to enforce, for the account and benefit of the Purchaser, any and all rights of the Sellers against any other person arising out of the breach or cancellation of such Assumed Contract by such other person or otherwise (any and all of which arrangements shall constitute, as between the Parties hereto, a deemed assignment or transfer); provided, that from and after Closing, the Sellers shall have no liability to the Purchaser in the event that any Assumed Contract requiring consent to assignment hereunder (or which by its terms is non-assignable) is terminated.

9.11 Bulk Sales Law. The Purchaser hereby waives compliance by the Sellers with the requirements of any bulk sales or fraudulent conveyance statute. The Seller will bear any loss, liability, obligation or cost suffered by the Seller or the Purchaser as a result of the Parties’ noncompliance with any provision of any bulk sales law which is applicable to the transfer of the Acquired Assets pursuant to this Agreement.

10.4 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
