The parties have agreed to the basic terms under which Sellers will sell to Buyer 100% of the Sellers’ Member Interests and all associated Assets owned by the Companies, and this Agreement is intended to describe the entire understanding of the parties.

(e)          Ongoing Business; Assets. The Sellers’ Member Interests described above will be transferred to Buyer at the Closing, such that Buyer will receive the Companies’ Business operation as an ongoing business without interruption. With the purchase of the Sellers’ Member Interests, Buyer will take control of all of the Companies’ assets necessary to run the Business, which include but are not limited to Cricket® Wireless dealer agreements, store Leases, phone inventory with a purchase date of 60 days or less before Closing (“Phone Inventory”), prepaid assets, licenses, fixed assets, and all other assets used in the Business, except as described in this Agreement (collectively, the “Acquired Assets”).

 

(f)          Vehicles Purchased. Schedule 1(f) contains a list of Company-owned vehicles that are used in the Business, including vehicle description, VINs, and estimated value of each (“Vehicles”). Buyer will evaluate the Vehicles during the Confirmatory Diligence Period with the good faith effort to purchase the Vehicles at the Closing, subject to any existing liens.

(i)          $220,000.00 (refundable in the event the Closing does not occur as contemplated by Sections 7 and 15 below), payable to Escrow Agent immediately upon signing this Agreement (which amount will be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing) (“Deposit”); and

  

(ii)        an amount equal to Three Hundred Thirty Thousand Dollars ($330,000) (the “Escrow Fund”) shall be paid by Buyer to the Escrow Agent at the Closing, such Escrow Fund to be held in accordance with the terms of an Escrow Agreement between Buyer and Sellers substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”) (and such amount (reduced by payments required to be made under the Escrow Agreement) shall be released to Sellers six months after Closing); and

 

(iii)       the remainder of the Purchase Price, payable to Escrow Agent on or before the Closing (which amount is to be released to the Sellers immediately upon the Closing).

 

2.2          Adjustments to Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

 

(i)          Phone Inventory; Excess Accounts Payable. The Companies’ existing Phone Inventory as of the Closing date shall be netted (at 100% cost) against the Companies’ total IMM (Brightpoint) accounts payable balance existing as of the Closing date (“IMM Accounts Payable”). In the event that IMM Accounts Payable exceed the amount of Phone Inventory (such difference being referred as “Excess Accounts Payable”), the Purchase Price will be adjusted downward by the amount of such Excess Accounts Payable. In the event that the amount of Phone Inventory exceeds IMM Accounts Payable (such difference being referred as “Excess Inventory”), the Purchase Price will be adjusted upward by the amount of such Excess Inventory. A schedule presenting the aggregate IMM Accounts Payable and Phone Inventory, as of the date of this Agreement, is attached hereto as Schedule 2.2(i).

Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a written reconciliation of the Post-Closing Adjustment on or prior to the 45th day after the Closing, and such reconciliation shall be final unless the Sellers provide Buyer with written notice to the contrary within ten days of receipt of the reconciliation. In the event of a dispute regarding the Post-Closing Adjustment, the parties will work together in good faith to resolve such dispute. If such dispute cannot be resolved, the Buyer or Sellers, as applicable, will pay the other party/parties the undisputed portion of the Post-Closing Adjustment, and the disputed portion shall be submitted to a arbitration pursuant to Section 31.

11
 

 

(d)          Necessary Provisions. The parties acknowledge that the non-solicitation and non-competition covenants contained in this Section are commercially reasonable restrictions that are necessary to preserve the Business and goodwill of the Business, and that are essential to the planned operations of the Business. The parties also acknowledge that these restrictions do not unduly hinder them respectively in their ability to earn a livelihood and support themselves financially. The parties also acknowledge that the Purchase Price is materially affected by these non-solicitation and non-competition provisions. 

 

(e)          Remedies for Breach

 

(i)          The parties recognize that breach or threatened breach of any of the non-solicitation and non-competition covenants of this Agreement would result in serious harm to the other party and the Business, for which monetary damages might not be an adequate remedy, and that the amount of such damages would be difficult to determine. Therefore, if a party breaches any such provision, or engages in any activity which, in the other party’s reasonable judgment, constitutes a threat to breach any such provision, then such other party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief and specific performance in addition to any other available legal or equitable remedies allowed under applicable law. The breaching party releases the other from any requirement to post a bond in connection with temporary or interlocutory injunctive relief, to the extent permitted by law, and from the need to prove irreparable harm, to the extent permitted by law.

 

(ii)         In the event of breach by a party, then the other party may recover by appropriate action the amount, if ascertainable, of the actual damage caused by any failure, refusal or neglect of the breaching party to perform the covenants above, together with any and all costs incurred by the non-breaching party, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in seeking such relief.

 

(iii)       The remedies provided in this Section shall be deemed cumulative and the exercise of one shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy at law or in equity for the same event or any other event.

13.4          Notice to Indemnifying Party.

In addition, upon written request of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall assume the full responsibility for the defense of any such claim, action or proceeding. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate in the compromise of, or defense against, any such asserted liability.

 

13.5          Reservation of Rights.
