In addition to the Purchased Assets, Seller hereby sells to Torrens, and Torrens hereby purchases from Seller, all non-disclosure, non-solicitation and non-compete covenants granted to the Selling Parties by Torrens (whether by contract or common law) (the “Covenants”).

1.2. Liabilities Assumed.

(a) On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, Purchaser hereby assumes and agrees to pay, perform or discharge when due all of Seller’s obligations under the Assigned Contracts, if any, which arise from and after the Closing Date, and only such liabilities of Seller (the “Assumed Liabilities”). The assumption by Purchaser of any Assumed Liability of Seller shall include only payment and performance obligations thereunder which accrue or arise after the Closing Date; in no event shall Purchaser assume or be deemed to assume any liability of any nature (whether known, unknown, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) relating to the performance under any such Assumed Liability which accrued prior to the Closing Date.

(b) Except for the Assumed Liabilities, Seller will transfer the Purchased Assets to the Purchaser and the Covenants to Torrens free and clear of all claims, liens, mortgages, security interests, encumbrances, charges, or any other restrictions. Other than the Assumed Liabilities, neither Purchaser nor Torrens will assume and Seller will indemnify, defend, and hold the Purchaser and Torrens harmless against any indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities of Seller. Neither Purchaser nor Torrens will assume any contract, liability, obligation, commitment, or agreement not specifically identified and accepted by Purchaser before the Closing, whether or not known, contingent, or accrued.

1.3 Purchase Price; Allocation; Payment.

(a) As consideration for the transfer of the Purchased Assets to Purchaser and Seller’s other covenants, Purchaser hereby pays to Seller a total purchase price of $650,000.00 (“Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price is being paid as follows:

(i) $200,000.00 is being paid at Closing by wire transfer or certified check (“Down Payment”);

(ii) The remaining Purchase Price ($450,000.00) shall paid in thirty equal monthly installments of principal plus interest at the prime rate of interest as published in the Wall Street Journal at Closing, adjusted annually. The obligations of the Purchaser shall be evidenced by a promissory note (“Note”), the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A”, and shall be secured by the grant of a security interest in the Purchaser’s accounts receivable pursuant to the terms of a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “B”.

(b) As consideration for the transfer of the Covenants to Torrens and Seller’s other covenants, Torrens hereby pays to Seller a total purchase price of $100,000.00 (“Torrens Purchase Price”). The Torrens Purchase Price is being paid in full at the Closing by wire transfer or certified check.

(c) The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets in accordance with the Certificate of Allocation set forth hereto as Exhibit “C” (“Certificate of Allocation”).

(d) Purchaser may, as one of Purchaser’s remedies in the event of any breach of this Agreement by the Selling Parties, withhold sums payable to Seller pursuant to this Agreement to the extent of any claim asserted by Purchaser and offset against the amounts due under those agreements any amounts Seller is entitled to under this Agreement. Any sums so withheld shall operate as a discharge, to the extent of the amount withheld, of Purchaser’s payment obligations to Seller under this Agreement if Seller is found to be liable for such amounts by a court of competent jurisdiction. Purchaser shall have the right to recover directly from Seller the amount of any claims. The remedies provided in this paragraph are cumulative and shall not prevent the assertion by Purchaser of any other rights or the seeking of any other remedies against Seller.

1.4 Prorated Items.

(a) Assigned Contracts. All amounts due and payable and all liabilities and obligations relating to the Assigned Contracts shall be prorated as of Closing. All Assigned Contracts shall be brought current as of Closing by Seller.

(b) Syracuse Office Lease. Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts to negotiate an early termination of the real estate lease for Seller’s Syracuse office. Notwithstanding that the Syracuse office lease is an Excluded Asset and is not an Assumed Liability, Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller an amount equal to the lesser of (1) one half of an early termination settlement amount, or (2) an amount not to exceed $2,300.00 per month, which is equal to one half of the monthly base rent for the remainder of the term of the existing lease agreement (but in no event for a period in excess of two years from the Closing). Purchaser’s payments hereunder shall be payable to Seller and shall be due no earlier than (1) five days after receipt from Seller of evidence of its payment of an early termination settlement, or (2) five days prior to the due date for each monthly rental payment. All amounts due by Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph 1.4(b) shall be secured by the accounts receivable of Purchaser and pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement set forth at Exhibit B.

(c) SEDCAR Deferred Revenue. Seller has on its balance sheet a deferred revenue account reflecting Federal allocations for special education under Sections 611 and 619 of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, referred to as SEDCAR funding. The current grant year for such funding covers the period from July 1, 2010 to June 30, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, the Seller has a deferred revenue balance reflecting SEDCAR funding that has not yet been earned in the amount of $61,192.45 (“Pro-Rata Portion”). Invoices for the anticipated funding have been billed by the Seller. Purchaser shall be credited with one half of the Pro-Rata Portion at Closing against the Purchase Price, with the Pro-Rata Portion being applied to reduce the Down Payment. Purchaser shall be entitled to the remaining Pro-Rata Portion of SEDCAR funding related to the post-Closing period, April 1, 2011 to June 30, 2011, upon Purchaser’s or Sellers’, as the case may be, completion of appropriate SEDCAR reporting and receipt of such related receivable balances from the respective school districts.

1.5 Accounts Receivable Collection. Any account receivable of Seller received or collected by the Purchaser shall be remitted to Seller within 5 business days after receipt and any account receivable of the Purchaser received or collected by Seller or a representative thereof shall be remitted to the Purchaser within 5 business days. The parties will act in good faith to allocate and adjust payments of Seller’s accounts receivable and Purchaser’s accounts receivable as of the Closing Date. The recipient shall send such payments in the actual form received.

1.6 Discontinuance of the Litigation. In consideration of the Purchase Price, at the Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a fully executed Stipulation of Discontinuance with Prejudice to be filed immediately after the Closing to terminate the Litigation, and Seller shall further provide Purchaser with a General Release of all claims occurring prior to the Closing, in the form attached hereto at Exhibit “D”.
