ARTICLE III

PURCHASE PRICE

3.1 Purchase Price. As consideration for the purchase of the Purchased Assets, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration (each as hereinafter defined) as follows:

(a) On the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to Seller (or creditors on behalf of Seller) in cash in the aggregate amount of $3,331,428.00. The Purchaser shall remain obligated to pay up to an additional $452,464.00 (the “Creditor Reserve”) to creditors of the Seller (the “Creditor Reserve Creditors”) based on obligations to such creditors of the Seller under Compromise Agreements, to the extent Purchaser determines it is required to make such payments within 120 business days from the Closing Date. (Cash paid at closing or within 120 business days after closing shall be the “Cash Consideration”).

To the extent Purchaser pays the Creditor Reserve Creditors in cash, the Creditor Reserve shall be reduced by the actual amount of cash paid. To the extent Purchaser pays the Creditor Reserve Creditors with product rather than cash, the Creditor Reserve shall be reduced by Purchaser’s cost of such product. To the extent part of or the entire Creditor Reserve is not expended within 130 business days from the Closing Date, additional Stock Consideration will be provided to Seller equal to the value of the unexpended amount. The Stock Consideration would be valued at the Parent Common Stock Price. These determinations shall be made by the Purchaser, in its sole commercially reasonable discretion and Section 8.5(c) of this Agreement shall not apply to such determinations by the Purchaser which shall be final and

conclusive. In the event [INFORMATION OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION UNDER RULE 24B-2] or more of any product distributed pursuant to this Section 3.1 is returned for credit, Seller will indemnify Purchaser in the amount of the benefit received by Seller under this Section 3.1 on account of a creditor initially accepting such returned product in lieu of cash, as payment for Seller’s obligations. Such indemnification shall be in accordance with Article VIII hereof.

(b) The Stock Consideration shall consist of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to $1,116,108, increased by the value of any additional stock issued pursuant to Section 3.1(a) above, and decreased by the value of any stock retained pursuant to Section 8 below (the “Stock Consideration,” and, together with Cash Consideration, the Purchase Price”).

3.2 Payment of Purchase Price; Earn-Out.

(a) At the Closing, except as set forth in Section 3.1(a) above, the Purchaser shall pay the Seller (or creditors on behalf of the Seller) the Cash Consideration by delivery of the requisite amount of cash by wire transfer, bank check or certified check as provided in Section 3.1.

(b) Subject to Section 3.1 and the terms of Article VIII, and following the Closing, Parent shall issue to Holdings such number of shares of Parent Common Stock as amount to the Stock Consideration, valued at the Parent Common Stock Price, to the extent the value of such Parent Common Stock is not used to satisfy the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Article VIII, as follows:

For convenience of reference, the date upon which any representation and warranty contained herein shall terminate is referred to herein as the “Survival Date.” No third party other than the Indemnified Persons, shall be a third party or other beneficiary of such representations and warranties and no such third party shall have any rights of contribution with respect to such representations or warranties or any matter subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Article VIII or otherwise. All covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement (and in the corresponding covenants and agreements set forth in any of the Documents) shall survive the Closing and continue in full force until fully performed in accordance with their terms.

8.2 Investigation. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and the other Documents shall not be affected or diminished in any way by any investigation (or failure to investigate) at any time by or on behalf of the party for whose benefit such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements were made.

(b) “Indemnified Persons” shall mean and include the Purchaser and its Affiliates, successors and assigns, and the respective officers, directors, managers, employees and agents of each of the foregoing.

(c) “Indemnifying Persons” shall mean and include each of the Seller and its successors, assigns, heirs and legal representatives and estate and, for purposes of Section 8.5(b) hereof, William Collins, Al Goeken and Greg Preston, in their individual capacities on a joint and several basis.

(d) “Losses” shall mean any and all losses, claims, shortages, damages, liabilities, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees), assessments, Taxes (including interest or penalties thereon) sustained, suffered or incurred by any Indemnified Person arising from or in connection with any such matter that is the subject of indemnification under Article VIII hereof.

The Indemnifying Persons shall jointly and severally indemnify the Indemnified Persons from and against any and all Losses arising from or in connection with any Event of Indemnification with respect to the Indemnified Persons. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8.4 shall in any way limit, impair, modify or otherwise affect the rights of the Indemnified Persons (including rights available under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) nor shall there be any limitation of liability of Indemnifying Persons in connection with any of such rights of the Indemnified Persons (a) to bring any claim, demand, suit or cause of action otherwise available to the Indemnified Persons based upon an allegation or allegations that the Seller and/or the Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, had an intent to defraud or made a willful, intentional or reckless misrepresentation or willful omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or (b) to enforce any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction which finds or determines that the Seller and/or the Indemnifying Persons, or any of them, had an intent to defraud or made a willful misrepresentation or omission of a material fact in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.5 Event of Indemnification in Excess of Stock Consideration. Subject to Sections 8.6 and 8.7 below:

(a) Any Losses of the Purchaser or its Affiliates shall be set-off against the Stock Consideration in accordance with the provisions of this Article VIII.

(b) In the event that the Losses of the Purchaser exceed the Stock Consideration, then William Collins, Al Goeken and Greg Preston shall, in their respective individual capacities and jointly and severally, be Indemnifying Persons for such Losses.

(c) Assertion of Claims. No claim shall be brought under Article VIII hereof unless the Indemnified Persons, or any of them, at any time after the Closing Date but prior to the applicable Survival Date, give the Indemnifying Persons (a) written notice of the existence of any such claim, specifying the nature and basis of such claim and the amount thereof, to the extent known, or (b) written notice pursuant to Section 8.7 of any Third Party Claim, the existence of which might give rise to such a claim but the failure so to provide such notice to the Indemnifying Persons will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and they were not otherwise aware of such action or claim). If the Indemnifying Persons do not object within ten days of such written notice, then the Indemnified Persons shall give written notice setting forth the amount of Losses to be set-off against the Stock Consideration and, if the Stock Consideration is insufficient or unavailable to satisfy such Losses, the Losses to be claimed against the Indemnifying Persons in accordance with Section 8.5(b), which written notice the parties hereto hereby acknowledge to be sufficient to authorize such set-off against the Stock Consideration and/or to be claimed against the Indemnifying Persons in accordance with Section 8.5(b), as directed by the Indemnified Persons. If the Indemnifying Persons do object on a timely basis

and the parties are unable to agree to the amount of Losses to be set-off and/or claimed within 30 days from the date of written notice of the objection, either party may institute court proceedings in accordance with Section 9.10 hereof for a determination of the Losses to be set-off against the Stock Consideration and/or to be claimed against the Indemnifying Persons in accordance with Section 8.5(b) hereof.

8.6 Valuation of Parent Common Stock. For purposes of this Article VIII, the Parent Common Stock shall be valued on the basis of the Parent Common Stock Price.

8.7 Notice and Defense of Third Party Claims. Losses resulting from the assertion of liability by third parties (each, a “Third Party Claim”) shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Indemnified Persons shall promptly give written notice to the Indemnifying Persons of any Third Party Claim that might give rise to any Loss by the Indemnified Persons, stating the nature and basis of such Third Party Claim, and the amount thereof to the extent known. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint or other pleading that may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure to provide notice as aforesaid to the Indemnifying Persons will not relieve the Indemnifying Persons from any liability which they may have to the Indemnified Persons under this Agreement or otherwise (unless and only to the extent that such failure directly results in the loss or compromise of any rights or defenses of the Indemnifying Persons and they were not otherwise aware of such action or claim).

(b) The Indemnifying Persons shall have the right to assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Persons may not assume the defense of any such Third Party Claim if the claim (i) is reasonably likely to result in imprisonment of the Indemnified Persons, (ii) is reasonably likely to result in a criminal penalty or fine against the Indemnified Persons the consequences of which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Persons unrelated to the size of such penalty or fine, or (iii) is reasonably likely to result in an equitable remedy which would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Indemnified Persons. If Indemnifying Persons assume the defense of such Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Persons shall conduct such defense diligently, shall have full and complete control over the conduct of such proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Persons and shall, in their sole discretion, have the right to decide all matters of procedure, strategy, substance and settlement relating to such proceeding, provided, however, that (A) any counsel chosen by such Indemnifying Persons to conduct such defense shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Persons and (B) the Indemnifying Persons will not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Persons, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the matter which does not include a provision whereby the plaintiff or the claimant in the matter releases the Indemnified Persons from all liability with respect thereto. The Indemnified Persons may participate in such proceeding and retain separate co-counsel at their sole cost and expense, provided, however, that the Indemnifying Persons shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of one separate co-counsel for the Indemnified Persons to the extent the Indemnified Persons are advised by counsel that either (1) the counsel the Indemnifying Persons have selected has a conflict of interest or (2) there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Persons). Failure by the Indemnifying Persons to notify the Indemnified Persons of their election to defend any such Third Party Claim within 30 days after notice of the Third Party Claim shall have been given to such Indemnifying Persons by the Indemnified Persons shall be deemed a waiver by such Indemnifying Persons of their right to defend such claim or action.

(c) If no Indemnifying Persons are permitted to or do not elect to assume the defense, or do not diligently pursue the defense, of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Persons shall diligently defend against such Third Party Claim in such manner as they may deem appropriate and, in such event, the Indemnifying Persons shall promptly reimburse the Indemnified Persons for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, legal or otherwise, incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with the defense against such Third Party Claim, as such costs and expenses are incurred. Any counsel chosen by such Indemnified Persons to conduct such defense must be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Persons and only one counsel shall be retained to represent all Indemnified Persons in an action (except that if litigation is pending in more than one jurisdiction with respect to an action, one such counsel may be retained in each jurisdiction in which such litigation is pending).
