7. Closing Process.

7.1 Inspections and Phased Closings. Within five (5) days after satisfaction of Purchaser’s Conditions to Close as set forth in Section 6(c), 6(f) and 6(i), Purchaser will begin the Inspection (as described on Exhibit “B”). Purchaser and Seller will coordinate with respect to the sequence and timing of the Inspection. Within five (5) days after the Inspection of the initial sixteen (16) Shops (the “First Closing Shops”), Seller shall convey all Assets pertaining to the First Closing Shops to Purchaser and Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume from Seller all Assumed Liabilities pertaining to the First Closing Shops (the date of such assignment and assumption is referred to herein as the “First Closing Date”). Within five (5) days after the Inspection of an additional sixteen (16) Shops (the “Second Closing Shops”), Seller shall convey all Assets pertaining to the Second Closing Shops to Purchaser and Seller

shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume from Seller all Assumed Liabilities pertaining to the Second Closing Shops (the date of such assignment and assumption is referred to herein as the “Second Closing Date”). Within five (5) days after Inspection of all remaining Shops (the “Third Closing Shops”), Seller shall convey all Assets pertaining to the Third Closing Shops to Purchaser and Seller shall assign to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assume from Seller all Assumed Liabilities pertaining to the Third Closing Shops (the date of such assignment and assumption is referred to herein as the “Third Closing Date”). Each of the First Closing Date, the Second Closing Date and the Third Closing Date are referred to herein as a “Closing Date”. On each Closing Date the parties will execute such closing documents as are reasonably necessary in order to effectuate such transfer of the applicable Assets and Assumed Liabilities.

7.2 Transfer Date. The parties agree that it will take more than one day for Purchaser to complete the Inspection of all Shops. The date Purchaser commences the Inspection contemplated above shall be deemed the “Transfer Date” for the Shop(s) that are the subject of the Inspection activities. If the Closing occurs and the Transfer Date for a Shop is earlier than the actual day of the Closing for such Shop, then upon the consummation of the Closing, the subject Transfer Date shall be deemed to be the Closing Date for the applicable Shop for all purposes under this Agreement. In this regard and in recognition that Seller has been operating the Business and that Seller and/or Purchaser, as the case may be, intends to continue operating it without interruption, both parties agree to cooperate with each other to ensure that the Business is operated in the ordinary course of business during the period from the Transfer Date to the Closing, and each party agrees to afford the other an adequate opportunity to oversee the operation of the Business during such period in order to protect its interests.

7.3 Prepaid Amounts; Income and Expense Prorations. At the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall equitably prorate all prepaid expenses that are considered Excluded Assets (“Prepaid Expenses”) and all accrued liabilities to the extent the same have been paid or are payable and to the extent the same are assumed by Purchaser as part of the Assumed Liabilities, all so that Purchaser pays for all amounts attributable to the period of time on and after the Transfer Date and Seller pays for all amounts attributable to the period of time prior to the Transfer Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, prepaid amounts relating to items not to be assumed by Purchaser at the Closing will not be Prepaid Expenses and will not be prorated between the parties; examples of such non-prorated expenses include, without limitation, amounts for prepaid permits and licenses and amounts for prepaid premiums for Seller’s insurance policies. Also, Prepaid Expenses shall not include amounts expended for advertising. All security and other deposits made by Seller in connection with any of the Assumed Liabilities shall be deemed Assets. The parties also agree that all income earned or accrued before the Transfer Date shall be credited or received by Seller, and all income earned or accrued on or after the Transfer Date shall be credited and received by Purchaser; and all expenses and liabilities accrued or becoming due before the Transfer Date shall be paid by Seller, and all expenses and liabilities accrued and becoming due on or after the Transfer Date shall be paid by Purchaser. Without limiting the foregoing, all ongoing expenses of the Business [for example, real property rentals, real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges payable under real estate leases, utility and security charges, wages, compensation and benefits of Seller’s employees and payments to or from landlords, licensors, licensees, vendors, suppliers, service providers and other contractors of Seller] expressly assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, if any,

will be equitably prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Transfer Date. To the extent any adjustment under this Section cannot be reasonably and finally determined at Closing, the parties hereto agree to reconcile all such income and expenses and make all adjustments and settlements between them as may be appropriate or required under this Section as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date (with each party hereto acting diligently and in good faith in connection with such post-Closing reconciliation, adjustment and settlement process). Prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser and Seller shall diligently cooperate in good faith with each other in an attempt to identify with particularity as many of the Prepaid Expenses and Accrued Liabilities as is reasonably possible (this process may, in Purchaser’s discretion, include, without limitation, a complete inspection at Seller’s home office by Purchaser’s accounting representatives of Seller’s books and records).

8. Seller’s Closing Deliveries. Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered to Purchaser at each Closing (unless otherwise set forth below) all of the following documents in form and substance satisfactory to Purchaser:

(d) for every $1.00 that the value of the inventory (as determined by the aggregate Inspection balances) is greater than $9,840,323.26 the Purchase Price shall be increased $1.00.

In the event that the result of the Inspection requires a decrease in the Purchase Price then such payments shall be satisfied first through an offset against that portion of the Purchase Price payable at the Third Closing with any remaining payments made directly by Seller.

12. Escrow Agreement. A portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of Eight Million and No/100 U.S. Dollars ($8,000,000.00) will be delivered by Purchaser to an escrow agent at the First Closing to be held and disposed of pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

13. Tax Holdback.

When Purchaser receives (i) a certificate of no tax due from the Comptroller of the State of Texas (“Comptroller”) in accordance with Section 111.020, (ii) satisfactory evidence that Seller has filed its final sales tax report with, and delivered a notice of Purchaser’s name and address to, the Comptroller pursuant to 34 TAC Section 3.7 of the Texas Regulations, (iii) a letter or any other reasonable documentation from the Comptroller specifically indicating that Seller has paid all taxes which are contemplated under Section 111.020 which accrued in connection with the Business through the Transfer Date and indicating that Purchaser shall have no successor liability for such taxes and will not be held personally liable for such taxes, all as the same is contemplated in Section 111.020, (iv) a receipt for each Shop issued by the tax collector in accordance with Sections 31.08 and 31.081 showing that the personal property taxes due the applicable taxing unit for such Shop, plus any penalties and interest, have been paid for each Shop, and (v) a tax certificate for each Shop issued under Section 31.08 stating that no personal property taxes, penalties or interest is due for each Shop by the applicable taxing unit, Purchaser shall immediately pay the withheld amount to Seller. If, however, the Comptroller or any tax collector pursues a claim against Purchaser for unpaid taxes of Seller, the parties agree that Purchaser may pay directly to the Comptroller or any such tax collector such portion of the withheld amount as may be necessary to satisfy such claim, and Seller’s sole recourse for the amount so paid by Purchaser shall be against the State of Texas and/or the Comptroller or the applicable tax collector and not against Purchaser.

accordance with their respective terms, and Seller has in all material respects performed all obligations required to be performed by it to date under such contract, and Seller is not in default under, and no event has occurred that, with the lapse of time or action by a third party, could result in a default under any outstanding contract. Each Lease Agreement, together with all subordination agreements, non-disturbance agreements and other related agreements and documents executed in connection with each such Lease are described on Exhibit “A” and Seller has, prior to the Execution Date, delivered true and complete copies of each Lease Agreement and all of such related documents to Purchaser.

(g) Litigation. There are no material actions, suits, claims, proceedings, investigations, or litigation pending or threatened against or affecting Seller or any of its assets, or any circumstances known or that should be known to Seller that would give rise to any such action, suit, claim, proceeding, investigation or litigation.

(h) Ownership of Properties and Absence of Liens. Seller is the lawful owner of the Business and the Assets and Seller has good, valid and marketable title to the Assets and a valid and transferable leasehold interest in all lease properties. The Business and the Assets will be free and clear of any liens, claims, equities, charges, options, security interests or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever with no defects of title as of the Transfer Date, except (a) liens for current taxes not yet due, and (b) minor imperfections of title and encumbrances, if any, that do not materially detract from the value of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Business, and have arisen only in the ordinary course of the Business, consistent with past practice. The Assets and properties described in Section 1 include all assets and inventory used in or necessary to Seller’s Business as presently conducted in the ordinary course.

(i) Financial Statements. All information contained in the statements of the Business dated December 31, 2012 and May 31, 2013 (the “Financial Statements”), is true and correct to the best knowledge of Seller. Seller has delivered complete copies of the Financial Statements to Purchaser.

(j) Shadow Audit. The internal audit and inventory report prepared by Seller (the “Audit Report”) following its audit of each of the Shops not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Execution Date is true, complete and accurate in all respects. Seller has delivered complete copies of the Audit Report to Purchaser.

(k) Pawn Loans and Collateral. As of the Closing and Transfer Date, each and every pawn loan on the books of Seller represents a valid pawn loan transaction upon which Seller has maintained an accurate record of the amount loaned, the lawful finance charge to accrue thereon, renewals if any, and an accurate description of the pledged goods. All such pledged goods securing active pawn loans transferred to Purchaser are properly retained by the Business on the premises.

(l) Disclosure. No representation, warranty or statement made by Seller in this Agreement, including without limitation the Exhibits attached hereto, contains any untrue statement of material fact. No representation, warranty or statement made by Seller in this Agreement, including without limitation the Exhibits attached hereto, omits to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the totality of the circumstances in which such statements are made. There are no facts known to Seller, which are not also known to Purchaser or in the pawn shop industry, which materially and adversely affects or in the future may (so far as Seller can now reasonably foresee) materially and adversely affect the Business or the condition, properties, assets, operations or prospects of the Business, except as set forth herein or in the Exhibits hereto.

(m) Payment of Taxes. There are no taxes or present disputes as to taxes of any nature payable by Seller which will impair the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, result in any lien upon the Assets, or impose on Purchaser any burden or obligation to assume or pay any taxes of any nature (except for any taxes due as a result of the sale of the Assets, if any). Except for employee withholding taxes which will be deposited and/or paid according to the payment schedules required by law, to the best of Seller’s knowledge, all tax returns of Seller (federal, state, city or otherwise) required by law to be filed on or before the Closing and Transfer Date have been duly filed in an accurate and correct manner and all corresponding taxes have been paid.
