Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in Article IX of the Acquisition Agreement as defined below.
WHEREAS, the parties to this Amendment to the Acquisition Agreement other than PDI LLC entered into an Acquisition Agreement dated as of September 12, 2002 (the Acquisition Agreement);
WHEREAS, the Acquisition Agreement provided for Purchaser or its designee to acquire certain assets of the Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries in exchange for the payment of Fourteen Million Dollars ($14,000,000.00) by Purchaser to Seller and certain other consideration to be provided by Purchaser to Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries;
WHEREAS, the Acquisition Agreement provided that a portion of the $14 million purchase price to be paid by Purchaser in the Escrow Amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) would be set aside in an Escrow Account for a specified period of time to satisfy certain claims of Purchaser against the Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries and against their assets;
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have agreed, subsequent to September 12, 2002, that the Acquisition Agreement should be amended to provide that the Purchase Price will increased by Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) to a total of Fourteen Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,200,000.00);
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller and the Selling Subsidiaries have also agreed to amend the Acquisition Agreement to provide for the elimination of the Escrow Account and the Escrow Amount altogether and for Purchaser to retain the full $14,200,000 million to be paid by Purchaser (subject to Purchasers right to reduce such amount by certain adjustments to the Purchase Price provided for in the Acquisition Agreement) and, in connection with the elimination of the Escrow Account, to eliminate the indemnities between the parties and to terminate the representations and warranties of Seller at Closing;
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have further agreed to amend the Acquisition Agreement to clarify that Purchaser may exercise elections under Section 338(h)(10) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 as amended with respect to some or all of the Acquired Subsidiaries; and
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have agreed that Purchaser, not Seller, will be responsible for preparation and approval of the Purchase Price Allocation; and
WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have agreed upon the amounts of any additional tax liability that will be borne by Seller and Purchaser respectively to the extent such additional liability arises from Purchasers adoption and approval of a Purchase Price Allocation different than the Purchase Price Allocation originally proposed by Seller; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, entered into as of October 21, 2002, DVIFS assigned certain of its rights and obligations under the Acquisition Agreement to PDI LLC and its designees;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements set forth herein, the parties hereto agree that the Acquisition Agreement shall be amended as follows: (any language contained in the Acquisition Agreement that has been deleted therefrom by this Amendment is indicated by strike-throughs):
| 1. | Section 1.5 of the Acquisition Agreement relating to Purchase Price is amended in its entirety to read as follows: |
