1.1 Closing and Closing Date. The closing of the transactions
contemplated hereby (the "Closing") shall occur at the offices of Xxxx in El
Segundo, California on the "Closing Date" which shall be on September 14, 1998,
or some other mutually agreeable date, but in no event later than October 30,
1998 (the "Termination Date").
1.2 Purchase of Assets from Xxxx. On the Closing Date, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof and in reliance upon the representations, warranties
and agreements contained herein, PrimeSource shall purchase from Xxxx and Xxxx
shall sell, convey, transfer and assign to PrimeSource, free and clear of all
liens and encumbrances, subject to Section 2.2, the following assets as of the
Closing Date, in each case pertaining solely to the GASG assets (collectively,
the "Assets"):
(a) All inventory of GASG (including new and used equipment
and parts). Such purchased inventory shall be set out on Schedule 1.2(a) which
will be prepared by Xxxx and attached to this Agreement when the Closing Balance
Sheet has been finalized. A physical inventory of GASG inventory will be taken
jointly by PrimeSource and Xxxx as of the Closing Date. The items identified by
the physical inventory shall provide the basis for determination of the unit
quantities of the inventories for preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet, with
individual items valued at Xxxx'x book value which is in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied ("GAAP").
Items on order by Xxxx as of the Closing Date and not yet received into
inventory shall be paid for by PrimeSource, provided such items for stock are in
usual amounts and ordered in the normal course of the GASG business. To the
extent any ordered (but not received) inventory stock has been recorded as a
liability as of the Closing Date, such liability will not be deemed outstanding
for the purpose of determining the Final Purchase Price. (b) All accounts and
notes receivable of GASG as of the Closing Date (the "Receivables"). The
Receivables shall be listed on Schedule 1.2(b) which shall be prepared by Xxxx
and attached hereto within 12 days of Closing.
(c) GASG's customer lists, trademarks, servicemarks
and tradenames as listed on Schedule 1.2(c).
(d) Contracts, open orders, books and records, or copies
thereof, of GASG. All of such items will be listed on Schedule 1.2(d) to be
attached prior to or at Closing. Xxxx may keep photocopies of all such items,
and in the event that PrimeSource wishes to dispose of any such items within
five years the originals shall be returned to Xxxx.
(e) All property, plant and equipment of GASG valued at GASG's
net depreciable basis. A final listing of such assets will be prepared by Xxxx
and attached hereto within 12 days of Closing as Schedule 1.2(e).
(f) All other miscellaneous tangible assets of GASG as listed
on the Closing Balance Sheet.
PrimeSource is only purchasing those Assets described in 1.2
(a) through (f) above and shall in no regard be deemed a legal successor to
Xxxx.
1.3 Purchase Price. The purchase price ("Purchase Price") for the
Assets shall be Forty Three Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($43,500,000);
provided however, the final Purchase Price shall be increased or decreased
dollar-for-dollar to the extent the net tangible assets being purchased by
PrimeSource have a value on the Closing Date greater or less than Thirty One
Million Dollars ($31,000,000). Net tangible assets shall mean total tangible
assets acquired (inventory, property, plant, and equipment, Receivables,
pre-paid expenses, and other items classified as tangible assets per GAAP), net
of reserves, and less the book value of Assumed Liabilities, all valued based
upon Xxxx'x book values in accordance with GAAP or as otherwise set out herein.
Two dollars of the Purchase Price will be allocated to items in 1.2 (c) & (d)
for income tax purposes.
The final Purchase Price for the Assets will be determined by
a Closing Balance Sheet and final schedules of GASG as of the Closing Date which
will be prepared in accordance with GAAP by Xxxx and based on the criteria above
in 1.2 (a), (b) & (e) for valuing assets and delivered to PrimeSource within 40
days of Closing; provided, however, that there will be no reserve for inventory
and the reserve for receivables will be $220,529. Along with the Closing Balance
Sheet, Xxxx shall prepare and deliver to PrimeSource a calculation of "net
tangible assets" of GASG as of the Closing Date based upon the Closing Balance
Sheet. Xxxx shall promptly provide PrimeSource access to all related accounting
entries, working papers and such other documentation as may be reasonably
requested by PrimeSource. In the event that PrimeSource disputes any item set
forth in, or any item omitted from, the Closing Balance Sheet, or the
calculation of "net tangible assets", the parties shall attempt, in good faith,
to resolve such dispute or controversy. In the event the parties cannot resolve
such dispute or controversy, it shall be resolved in accordance with the
procedures set forth below. Within 20 days of the receipt of the Closing Balance
Sheet, final schedules and calculation of "net tangible assets", PrimeSource
shall give notice to Xxxx setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for any
such dispute or controversy. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP ("Accountants"),
independent accountants for both PrimeSource and Xxxx, shall promptly commence a
review of the matter and issue its decision to both parties within 15 days. If
either party is not satisfied with the opinion so rendered, then within10 days
of receipt of the decision it will so notify the other party, and PrimeSource
and Xxxx shall jointly, within 10 days thereafter, appoint a national accounting
firm other than Accountants to resolve such dispute or controversy. If the
parties cannot agree on the selection of such national accounting firm, they
shall select such national accounting firm by lot among the "Big-Five"
accounting firms other than Accountants (the "Neutral Accountants") to resolve
such dispute or controversy. The Neutral Accountants shall make their
determination as to such dispute or controversy within 30 days of their
appointment and their determination shall be final, binding and conclusive as
between PrimeSource and Xxxx, absent fraud or manifest error. The fees and
disbursements of the Neutral Accountants shall be apportioned between
PrimeSource and Xxxx in such manner as the Neutral Accountants shall deem
equitable in light of the issues raised and the degree to which the parties
prevail on each such issue. Upon final determination, if the net tangible assets
are more or less than $31 million, the difference will be transmitted to the
other party within three business days by bank wire, except that in the event
that the net tangible assets are less than $31 million and there remains
outstanding any unpaid portion of the Purchase Price, the difference may be
offset against said unpaid amount.
1.4 Delivery and Payment. At the Closing Date, Xxxx shall execute and
deliver to PrimeSource a Xxxx of Sale transferring the Assets (in the form of
Exhibit A attached), an Assignment of Contracts specifically related to the
Assets and business of the GASG (in the form of Exhibit B attached), and such
other documents as PrimeSource may reasonably request so as to effect a complete
and valid transfer to PrimeSource of the Assets, free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances. The assumed Purchase Price of $43.5 million, less a good faith
estimate by Xxxx of the Receivables as of the Closing Date (the "Estimated
Receivables") shall be paid by PrimeSource to Xxxx at Closing by bank wire.
Until the sooner of ninety (90) days after the Closing Date or amounts
equal to the Estimated Receivables have been received by Xxxx, customer checks
relating to both the Receivables and post-closing receivables shall go into the
existing Xxxx lockbox at First Chicago Bank number 100630 located in Pasadena,
California (account number 55-50807), the Xxxx/Xxxxx bank account (account
number 115-0000000) at NorWest Bank located in Omaha, Nebraska, or the
Xxxx/Xxxxx bank account (account number 635-0000000) at NorWest Bank located in
Minneapolis, Minnesota. All funds attributable to Receivables shall be wired to
Xxxx as it from time to time may designate. As soon as practical after the close
of business of each day, Xxxx shall wire all funds relating to post-receivables
to PrimeSource's bank account at First Union Bank, ABA No. 000000000, account
number 2000107583787. Funds will be allocated in accordance with the invoice(s)
designated by the customer or if no designation is made and the amount paid does
not match any unpaid invoice, then the payment will be applied to the oldest
unpaid invoice. As soon as an amount equal to the Estimated Receivables has been
received, then the receipts of all Receivables collected thereafter shall be
transmitted to PrimeSource's bank account above. If after ninety (90) days an
amount equal to the Estimated Receivables has not been received by Xxxx,
PrimeSource shall wire Xxxx to its account at Union Bank of California, Los
Angeles, California (account number 0710004048) the balance of the Estimated
Receivables, irrespective of whether the funds for the remaining Receivables
have been collected or whether there exists a dispute regarding the proper
valuations thereof as set forth on the Closing Balance Sheet.
1.5 Guarantee of Certain Receivables. Xxxx guarantees that the
following receivables will be paid within 6 months of the Closing Date: all
non-Xxxxx accounts receivable from Schedule 1.2(b) that will be listed on
Schedule 1.5 to be prepared by PrimeSource within 14 days of the Closing Date
and to contain not more than $1,700,000 of sums specified by PrimeSource.

PrimeSource for (a) the value of the inventory items listed on Schedule 1.6 that
have not been sold or returned to vendors, (b) for each item sold by PrimeSource
or returned to its vendor for an amount less than its value stated on Schedule
1.6, the difference between the sale price (or return proceeds) and the value
listed on Schedule 1.6, and (c) any additional expenses approved in advance by
Xxxx incurred on the sale of Schedule 1.6 items during the six-month period such

Xxxx hereby covenants and agrees with PrimeSource as follows:
6.1 Conduct of Xxxx Prior to Closing. Between the date hereof and the
Closing, Xxxx shall:
not increase the rate of compensation of any Xxxx employee who
may be hired by PrimeSource at the Closing except as in accordance with Xxxx'x
past practices and, in the event Xxxx has increased the rate of compensation of
any such employee PrimeSource shall be so notified at least five days before
Closing;
use reasonable best efforts to maintain good relations with its
customers and suppliers;
not take any action or fail to take any action which taking or
failure would directly or indirectly have a material adverse impact on the
Assets (including subjecting them to any lien or encumbrance) or the
transactions contemplated hereby;
not knowingly take any action or, insofar as it is able to do
so, suffer to be taken any action that will cause any representation, warranty,
or schedule to this Agreement to be untrue at the Closing Date;
continue to conduct the business of Xxxx consistent with good
business practices; and
take all steps reasonably necessary so as to be able to
transfer the Assets and Assumed Liabilities to PrimeSource on the Closing Date
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
6.2 Publicity. The timing and content of any disclosure to vendors or
customers must be approved in advance by PrimeSource.
6.3 SAP Business System. From the Closing Date through February 28,

PrimeSource transitions the GASG business to the PrimeSource business system in

system and supporting Xxxx personnel shall be $80,000 per month (prorated for
any partial month) through December 1998, and reimbursement for Xxxx'x actual
out-of-pocket costs for January and February 1999.

PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Closing Date, the President and CFO of each party will reaffirm its own
representations and warranties hereunder at and as of the Closing Date by
Officer's Certificate.
6.8 Nonassignable Contracts. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as an attempt or agreement to assign any contract or claim as to which
a required third party consent to assignment cannot be obtained. Xxxx agrees to
use its best efforts to obtain the consent of each other party to any such
contract, right or commitment to the assignment thereof to PrimeSource in all
cases in which such consent is required for assignment or transfer. If, however,
following the Closing, there is any contract, right or other commitment which
would have been assigned had the required consent been obtained, or any claim
for which consent to the assignment thereof cannot be obtained, Xxxx and
PrimeSource agree to take such action, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, in order for PrimeSource to obtain the benefit and assume the obligations
thereunder, including Xxxx designating PrimeSource as Xxxx'x subcontractor or
agent for purposes of performing such contracts and Xxxx collecting monies due
under such contracts and paying the same promptly over to PrimeSource.
ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION
7.1 Indemnification by Xxxx. From and after the Closing, Xxxx agrees to
defend, indemnify, and hold PrimeSource harmless from and against, and to
reimburse PrimeSource with respect to, any and all losses, damages, liabilities,
claims, judgments, settlements, costs, and expenses (including reasonable
attorney's fees) of every nature whatsoever incurred by PrimeSource by reason of
or arising out of or in connection with:
(i) any breach of any warranty or representation given by Xxxx
in this Agreement or in any schedule, or other document delivered to PrimeSource
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement;
(ii) any claims made against PrimeSource for liabilities of
Xxxx or for operations of Xxxx prior to Closing which are not Assumed
Liabilities;
(iii) failure, partial or total, of Xxxx to perform any
agreement or covenant required by this Agreement or any other document delivered
to PrimeSource pursuant to this Agreement to be performed by it; and
(iv) the failure of the parties to comply with any bulk
transfer or bulk sales law or fraudulent conveyance law applicable to the
transactions contemplated herein.
7.2 Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Except for fraud and gross negligence,
and except for any right to seek specific performance or recession, the
indemnification provided under this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive
remedy of the parties with respect to the breach of any covenant, representation
or warranty contained herein.
7.3 Permissible Offsets. PrimeSource shall make demand on Xxxx in
writing for the payment of any amounts due pursuant to this Article 7. In the
event the entire amount is not paid to PrimeSource within twenty-five days of
Xxxx'x receipt of its demand, PrimeSource shall have the right, at its option
and in addition to any other remedies available to it, to enforce its claim by
setoff against, or deduction from, any amounts due or which may become due to
Xxxx or any assignee; provided PrimeSource may not offset against the Purchase
Price. If Xxxx disputes the amount claimed to be due under this Article 7 within
said twenty-five days, then the dispute shall be submitted to binding
arbitration in accordance with Section 8.10 of this Agreement.
7.4 Defense of Claim. If any claim of liability is made by a third
person against PrimeSource based on any liability, the existence of which would
give rise to a claim for indemnification under this Article 7, PrimeSource shall
with reasonable promptness give to Xxxx written notice of the claim and request
Xxxx to defend the same. Xxxx shall have the right to defend against such
liability at their expense, and shall give written notice to PrimeSource of the
commencement of such defense with reasonable promptness after receipt of the
written notice of the claim from PrimeSource. Failure to receive notice from
PrimeSource shall not relieve Xxxx of any liability which it might otherwise
have to PrimeSource under this Article 7 unless such failure materially,
adversely affects Xxxx'x ability to defend against such claim. PrimeSource, its
successors and assigns shall be entitled at its own expense to participate with
Xxxx in such defense, but shall not be entitled in any way to release, waive,
settle, modify or pay such claim without the consent of Xxxx. In the event Xxxx
has assumed said defense and have employed counsel with respect thereto which
represents Xxxx and PrimeSource, PrimeSource shall also be entitled to employ
separate counsel at its own expense. In the event Xxxx does not accept the
defense of the matter as provided above, PrimeSource shall have the full right
to defend against such liability, at Xxxx'x expense, and shall be entitled to
settle or agree to pay in full such claimed liability in its sole discretion.
Xxxx and PrimeSource, and their successors and assigns, shall, in any event,
cooperate in the defense of such action and the records of each shall be
available to the other with respect to such defense.
7.5 Limitations on Indemnification. The indemnification obligations in
this Article 7 shall expire four years after Closing, except for claims arising
from potential (a) federal, state and local tax liabilities, (b) environmental
claims, and (c) claims involving clear title to the Assets which shall not
expire until 60 days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of
limitation.
7.6 Indemnification by PrimeSource. PrimeSource agrees to defend,
indemnify, and hold Xxxx, its officers, directors, shareholders and agents
harmless from and against, and to reimburse them with respect to, any and all
losses, damages, liabilities, claims, judgments, settlements, costs, and
expenses (including attorneys' fees) of every nature whatsoever incurred by them
by reason of or arising out of or in connection with (i) any breach of any
representation or warranty of PrimeSource contained in this Agreement, (ii) the
failure, partial or total, of PrimeSource to perform any agreement or covenant
required by this Agreement or any other document delivered to Xxxx pursuant to
this Agreement to be performed by it, (iii) any liability assumed by PrimeSource
hereunder, and (iv) the operation of the GASG business after Closing.
7.7 Insurance. The amount of any indemnification under this Agreement
will be reduced by any insurance proceeds paid to the claiming party as a result
of the loss or other matter for which indemnification is sought, as adjusted for
any increased insurance premiums. The claiming party will be obligated to submit
to its insurance carrier all coverable claims and pursue such claims against its
insurance carrier in good faith, and will not abandon or compromise any such
claim without the consent of the other party, which consent will not
unreasonably be withheld.
ARTICLE 8

NON-COMPETE AGREEMENT
Agreement made and entered into the 14th day of September, 1998, by and
between PrimeSource Corporation ("PrimeSource") and Xxxx Industries, Inc.
("Xxxx").
Whereas, PrimeSource has agreed to acquire certain assets of Xxxx, and
Xxxx desires that PrimeSource acquire such assets and will financially benefit
from such sale to PrimeSource,
Whereas, a significant concern of PrimeSource relating to its purchase
of assets from Xxxx is maintaining PrimeSource's competitive position in Xxxx'x
business, the parties have agreed to enter into this Agreement to protect that
competitive position.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the purchase of said assets and the
mutual covenants and conditions contained herein, Xxxx agrees that it will not,
for a period of five years following the date first above written, solicit or
call on, directly or indirectly, any customer of Xxxx'x Graphic Arts Supply
Group for the purpose of selling graphic arts supplies, equipment or services,
nor will it for such period engage in any activities directly or indirectly
competitive with the graphic arts supplies and equipment distribution services
of PrimeSource in the United States. During the term of this Agreement Xxxx will
not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any current employee of
PrimeSource or any former employee whose employment with PrimeSource terminated
less than 180 days prior to such hiring by Xxxx. In the event of an actual or
threatened breach of any provisions of this paragraph, PrimeSource shall be
entitled to an injunction restraining Xxxx from such activity without the
necessity of posting a bond or other security. Nothing herein stated shall be
construed as prohibiting PrimeSource from pursuing any other remedy available to
PrimeSource for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages.
The parties agree and acknowledge that the time, scope, geographic
extent and other provisions of the foregoing paragraph have been specifically
negotiated by sophisticated parties in good faith and with the advice of
independent counsel, and do hereby agree that such time, scope, geographic
extent and other provisions are fair and reasonable under the circumstances.
Xxxx agrees that if a court should hold any portion of the foregoing paragraph
to be unenforceable for any reason, the maximum restrictions of time, scope, and
geographic extent reasonable under the circumstances, as determined by the
court, will be substituted for the provision held enforceable.
Xxxx recognizes that it may have copies of Xxxx customer lists, pricing
information, and other non-public information relating to Xxxx'x former graphic
arts supplies and equipment distribution business and that it is obligated to
preserve the confidentiality of such information for the benefit of PrimeSource.
It is specifically understood that in the event of litigation resulting
from a breach of any covenant herein, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover all costs it incurs, including a reasonable attorney's fee. Each
covenant of this Agreement shall be construed as severable and independent,
fully enforceable and binding upon the parties. The laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania shall govern the interpretation and enforceability of this
Agreement.
In witness whereof, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
date first above written.
