1.2. Assumption of Liabilities.

The Buyer shall not assume or become responsible for, any other liabilities or obligations (whether known or unknown, whether absolute or contingent, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether due or to become due, and whether claims with respect thereto are asserted before or after the date hereof) of the Sellers or related to the Acquired Assets.
1.3. Purchase Price. The price to be paid by the Buyer for the Acquired Assets (which the Parties agree have a fair market value of $3,500,000), shall be (A) $1,500,000 in cash consideration, to be paid directly to either the Seller or the Owner at the Owner’s discretion, less the outstanding principal and interest of any and all advances made from the Parent to the Sellers prior to the Effective Date directly or indirectly related to the Senior Secured Promissory Note executed between the Seller and White River Holdings Corp (the “Parent’s Subsidiary”) on June 18, 2020, and (B) $2,000,000 in restricted common stock of the Parent with the number of shares ___________1 as calculated by the closing share price on the date of the Agreement to be issued to the Parent’s transfer agent in the name of the Seller or the Owner, at the Owner’s discretion.
