1.3 AAHA. American Animal Hospital Association, is a Illinois non-profit corporation (“AAHA”) with its general offices located at 00000 X. Xxxxxx Xxx., Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, 00000. AAHA holds 80% of the common stock of Servco. Professional Veterinary Products, Ltd. (“PVP”), which owns 20% of the common stock of Servco, is not a party to this Agreement

1.4 Successors and Assigns. Subject to any express provisions in this Agreement regarding restrictions on transfers or assignments, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives. Buyer has the right, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to assign all or part of Buyer’s rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement, but the Buyer nevertheless will remain responsible for the obligations of the assignee as if no such assignment had occurred. Servco shall not assign Servco’s rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement without the consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Article 2
PURCHASE AND SALE.

2.1 Transfer and Assumption. At the Closing described in Article 8, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Servco agrees to sell, transfer and assign to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase, take delivery, take assignment, and assume from Servco: (i) all tangible and intangible assets, claims, and other properties of Servco used in the operation of Servco, including but not limited to those assets specifically identified in Section 3.1 (“Assets”), and excepting only those assets specifically identified in Section 3.3 as excluded by this Agreement, and (ii) only those certain liabilities of Servco specifically identified in Section 3.2 (“Liabilities”), and excepting all other liabilities, including but not limited to those liabilities specifically identified in Section 3.4 as excluded by this Agreement.

2.2 Possession. Servco is delivering actual possession of the Assets to Buyer at Closing, and the Buyer is assuming the Liabilities at the Closing.

2.3 Purchase Price. At the Closing described in Article 8, the purchase price (“Purchase Price”) to be paid by Buyer to Servco pursuant to this Agreement is $10,000,000 plus or minus a Working Capital adjustment as calculated pursuant to Sections 2.4.3 and 2.4.4.

2.4 Form of Payment. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

2.4.1 Cash at Closing. Buyer shall pay to Servco at Closing the amount of $8,500,000, plus or minus a Working Capital adjustment as calculated pursuant to Section 2.4.3, by means of a wire transfer into an account identified by Servco.

2.4.2 Escrow Amount. An amount equal to $1,500,000 (“Escrow Amount”) to be deposited in an Escrow Account, as further described in Section 2.5.

2.4.3 Working Capital Adjustment to Purchase Price at Closing. The amount of the Purchase Price paid by the Buyer at Closing will increase to the extent that the Estimated Working Capital is greater than the Target Working Capital, and will be decreased to the extent the Estimated Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital. The “Target Working Capital”, as determined by Buyer, and Servco and AAHA’s executive management during due diligence, equals $3,324,647. At Closing, Servco provided a good faith estimate of Servco’s working capital at Closing, equal to $3,064,088 (the “Estimated Working Capital”), which Estimated Working Capital was certified by the Chief Operating Officer of Servco pursuant to a “Certificate of Estimated Working Capital”, which certificate was provided to Buyer two (2) days prior to Closing. For purposes of this Agreement, “working capital” shall mean current assets minus current liabilities.

2.4.4 Working Capital Adjustment Post Closing. After a post-closing review period of sixty (60) days, if the working capital of Servco at Closing (the “Final Working Capital”) as initially determined by the Buyer, exceeds the Estimated Working Capital, then, not later than the 65^th day after the Closing, the Buyer shall transfer additional cash to Servco in an amount equal to the Final Working Capital less the Estimated Working Capital. If the Final Working Capital as initially determined by Buyer was less than the Estimated Working Capital, then, not later than the 65^th day after the Closing, Servco shall transfer additional cash to the Buyer in an amount equal to the Estimated Working Capital less the Final Working Capital. Any working capital adjustment, as described in Sections 2.4.3 and 2.4.4, shall not be subject to the attainment of $25,000 in Claims, as described in Section 11.2. If Servco disagrees with Buyer’s initial determination of Final Working Capital, the parties will promptly meet to discuss such disagreement and, in any event, if they do not agree within two business days after such 60^th day after the Closing, the matter will be resolved in accordance with Section 11.11 of this Agreement; upon the resolution of the dispute, the party who owes payment to the other party will also owe interest on any unpaid amount at the rate of 4% per annum above the Prime Rate, measured from the 65^th day after the Closing until the date that such amount is paid in full. In the event of such a disagreement, the parties will nevertheless make partial payment on the 65^th day after the Closing as provided above to the extent they agree on the amount of the payment that is due. “Prime Rate” means the floating prime rate published from time to time by The Wall Street Journal.

2.5 Escrow Agreement. At Closing, the Buyer shall deposit with Xxxxx Fargo N.A. (the “Escrow Agent”) the Escrow Amount. The Escrow Amount plus any interest accrued thereon will be available to satisfy any amounts owed by AAHA or Servco to Buyer under this Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement attached as Schedule 2.5 (the “Escrow Agreement”).

2.6 Payment of Taxes. Servco shall pay all of its state income taxes, sales taxes, use taxes, excise taxes, property taxes, business and occupation taxes, or other taxes imposed with respect to the Assets or the operations of Servco for any period prior to the Closing. For any period after Closing, Buyer shall pay all of the taxes imposed with respect to the Buyer’s operations of the Assets.

2.7 Allocation of Purchase Price. After the Closing, Buyer will engage Xxxx Xxxxxx of JP Pan Global Consulting to conduct an appraisal, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), of the Assets and Liabilities of Servco (the “Appraisal”). Upon conclusion of the Appraisal, Buyer will forward the Appraisal and all supporting documents to Servco. The Purchase Price shall be allocated for federal and state tax purposes by Buyer and Servco in accordance with the Appraisal. Buyer and Servco shall each complete and file Form 8594 in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 1060 and the corresponding rules and regulations reflecting the allocation set forth in the Appraisal.

2.8 Conveyance of Title. Unless expressly stated otherwise and except as set forth on Schedule 4.5, title to the Assets (i) shall be marketable in Buyer, and (ii) shall be conveyed free and clear of all covenants, equitable interests, liens, options, pledges, security interests, rights of first refusal, encumbrances.

Therefore, in addition to any other remedy or right of Buyer (including rights and remedies at law or in equity, including recovery of damages), Buyer shall have the following rights: (i) right to an immediate injunction or other equitable relief enjoining any threatened or actual breach, and (ii) the right to recover damages from each person or entity that breaches its obligations. In the event of Servco’s or AAHA’s breach or anticipated breach of the noncompetition and confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Buyer is not required to comply with the Claim Notice and Cure Period provision (set forth in Section 11.1) or the Claim Resolution Procedure provision (set forth in Section 11.11) to obtain

non-monetary relief, but any Claims for monetary relief shall comply with the Claim Resolution Procedure provision (set forth in Section 11.11).

11.5 Special Remedies for Confidentiality Violations by Buyer. Breach of the confidentiality agreement set forth in Article 9 will result in irreparable harm to Servco or AAHA, which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated by damages. Therefore, in addition to any other remedy or right of Servco or AAHA (including rights and remedies at law or in equity, including recovery of damages), Servco or AAHA shall have the following rights: (i) right to an immediate injunction or other equitable relief enjoining any threatened or actual breach, and (ii) the right to recover damages from each person or entity that breaches its obligations. In the event of Buyer’s breach or anticipated breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Servco or AAHA are not required to comply with Claim Notice and Cure Period provision (set forth in Section 11.1) and the Claim Resolution Procedure provision (set forth in Section 11.11), to obtain non-monetary relief, but any Claims for monetary relief shall comply with the Claim Resolution Procedure provision (set forth in Section 11.11).

11.6 Handling Indemnification for Third-Party Claims

11.6.1 Notice. Promptly after receipt by a person entitled to indemnity under this Agreement (“Indemnified Person”) of notice of a Claim by a third party (“Third-Party Claim”) against it, the Indemnified Person shall give notice to the person obligated to indemnify under this Agreement (“Indemnifying Person”) of the assertion of the Third-Party Claim. The failure to notify the Indemnifying Person will not relieve the Indemnifying Person of any liability that an Indemnifying Person has to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Person demonstrates that the defense of the Third-Party Claim is prejudiced by the Indemnified Person’s failure to give such notice.

11.6.2 Effect of Notice. If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the Indemnifying Person pursuant to Section 11.6.1, the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim if the (i) Indemnifying Person provides reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Person of the Indemnifying Person’s financial capacity to defend and satisfy the Third-Party Claim; (ii) counsel engaged by the Indemnifying Person for the defense of the Third-Party Claim is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; and (iii) subject to any reasonable reservation of rights, the Indemnifying Person expressly agrees in writing to the Indemnified Person that, as between the two, the Indemnifying Person is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Person is also a person against whom the Third-Party Claim is made and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate, then the Indemnifying Person is not entitled to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim against the Indemnified Person. If notice is received by an Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Person does not, within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice, give notice to the Indemnified Person of the Indemnifying Person’s election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim in the manner provided above, the Indemnifying Person will be bound by any determination made relating to the Third-Party Claim or any reasonable compromise or settlement consummated by the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall not be responsible for the attorney fees and costs of more than one Indemnified Person regardless of the number of indemnified Persons involved in the Claim.

11.6.3 Defense. After notice of the Indemnifying Person’s election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim, (i) subject to any reasonable reservation of rights, such assumption will conclusively establish for purposes of this Agreement that the Claims made in that Third-Party Claim are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) the Indemnifying Person shall not, so long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article 11 for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses related to the defense of the Third-Party Claim subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person; (iii) the Indemnified Party may nevertheless thereafter participate in the defense but at its own expense; and (iv) compromise or settlement of the Third-Party Claims shall not be consummated by the Indemnifying Person without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of rights of any person or violation of any law, rule, regulation, license, permit, order, contract, or agreement; (b) the sole relief is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Person; and (c) the Indemnified Person shall have no liability with respect to any compromise or settlement.

11.6.4 Reservation of Right to Defend. If an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect the Indemnified Person or its Affiliates other than as monetary damages (e.g., loss, revocation, denial, restriction or limitation of any permit, license, accreditation or registration), the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise or settle the Third-Party Claim. In such event, the Indemnifying Person will not be obligated to pay the attorneys fees and costs of the Indemnified Person and will not be bound by (i) any determination of any Third-Party Claim so defended for the purposes of this Agreement or (ii) any compromise or settlement effected without its consent, which may not be unreasonably withheld.

11.6.5 Cooperation. With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to indemnification, (i) each person shall keep the other person reasonably informed of the status of the Third-Party Claim and any related proceedings at all stages where such person is not represented by its own counsel; (ii) each party, at its own expense, shall render to each other such assistance as they may reasonably require of each other and to cooperate in good faith with each other in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any Third-Party Claim; and (iii) each party shall act preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information, the attorney-client privilege, and the work-product privilege. The cooperation includes without limitation (i) avoiding production of confidential information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure), (ii) preserving confidential communications between each person and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim, and (iii) making available for preparation for testimony, and for testimony, the personnel of such party.

11.7 Handling Indemnification for All Other Claims. A request for indemnification of any Claim not involving a third party (as set forth in Section 11.6) may be asserted pursuant to Section 11.1.

11.8 Payment of Claim. Except as set forth in Sections 11.2 and 11.3, and without limiting the availability of other remedies, after determination, settlement or compromise of any Third-Party Claim pursuant to Section 11.6 or notice pursuant to Section 11.7, the Indemnifying

Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnified Party the amount of the Claim. The exercise in good faith of the right of offset, as set forth in Sections 11.2 and 11.3, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default or a violation or breach of any law, rule, regulation or agreement. For purposes of calculating the amount of damages to which a party is entitled as a result of any Claim, such representation or warranty shall not be deemed qualified by any concept of “material,” “materiality,” “material adverse affect” or other similar qualification.

11.9 Acts of PVP. The obligation of AAHA and Servco to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Protected Parties in connection with any Covered Act shall not be negated by, limited by, or otherwise affected by any law, rule, judicial decision, or otherwise that is based upon the sole, concurrent, contributory or comparative active or passive negligence or gross negligence of PVP, Servco or AAHA in connection with a Covered Act.

11.10 Attorney Fees and Costs. If a dispute shall arise as to whether either party is in default under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be awarded reasonable attorney fees and costs in any suit, action or proceeding, including trial, arbitration, mediation, or appeal, as awarded by the court, arbiter or mediator.

11.11 Disputes. If a dispute arises between the parties regarding their rights or obligations under this Agreement, the parties shall first attempt to settle the dispute by direct discussions. If the dispute cannot be settled by the parties by direct discussions, then the parties agree to endeavor to settle the dispute in an amicable manner by mediation administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Mediation Rules. Thereafter, any unresolved dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement or a breach of this Agreement shall be resolved as provided by this Agreement and by law.

11.12 Rights Cumulative. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, and to the extent permitted by law, any remedies described in this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative to any other remedies available at law or in equity.

11.13 Nonwaiver of Remedies. The failure or neglect of a party to enforce any remedy available by reason of the failure of the other party to observe or perform a term or condition set forth in this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of the term or condition. A waiver by a party (i) shall not affect any term or condition other than the one specified in the waiver, and (ii) shall waive a specified term or condition only for the time and in a manner specifically stated in the waiver.

11.14 Governing Law, Jurisdiction, and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by Idaho law. Any proceeding initiated by Buyer arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be determined solely by the federal court sitting in the City and County of Denver, Colorado (or, if the federal court denies jurisdiction, the state court sitting in the City and County of Denver, Colorado), and any proceeding initiated by AAHA or Servco arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will be determined solely by the federal court sitting in Ada County, Idaho (or, if the federal court denies jurisdiction, the state court sitting in Ada County, Idaho), and the parties consent to the jurisdiction and venue of those courts.

12.7 Severability. The invalidity of any portion of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other portion of this Agreement.
