Sellers are entitled to the profits shown in the financial statements 2007 to the extent such profits have been distributed to Sellers prior to the Effective Date; the undistributed part of the profits shall remain with the Company and will be subject to the purchase price adjustment as set forth in Section 1.5.

Section 1.3 The Purchase Price. The total purchase price to be paid by Buyer to Sellers for the Shares (the “Purchase Price”) shall be the sum of Nineteen Million Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand Euros (€ 19,650,000), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 1.5.

The Execution Date Payment shall be delivered by Buyer to Sellers in immediately available funds by wire transfer on the date of the signing and execution of this Agreement (the “Execution Date”) to the accounts designated in Appendix B hereto.

Section 1.5 Purchase Price Adjustment.

(a) The Purchase Price shall be adjusted following the Execution based on the Final Statement of Net Assets (as defined below) prepared pursuant to this Section 1.5. If the amount of the Net Assets of the Company reflected on the Final Statement of Net Assets is less than Four Hundred Thousand Euros (€ 400,000), then the amount of the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount of the shortfall. Conversely, if the amount of the Net Assets of the Company reflected on the Final Statement of Net Assets is greater than Four Hundred Thousand Euros (€ 400,000), then the amount of the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of the excess.

(b) For purposes of this Section 1.5, the term “Net Assets” means the excess, if any, of (i) the net book value of the current assets of the Company as of the Effective Date, over (ii) the net book value of the total liabilities of the Company as of the Effective Date.

(c) Within forty (40) calendar days following the Effective Date, Sellers shall cause to be prepared and shall deliver to Buyer: (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Effective Date (the “Effective Date Balance Sheet”); and (ii) a Statement of Net Assets as of the Effective Date (the “Statement of Net Assets”), each of which shall be denominated in Euros. The Company shall bear the entire cost of the preparation of the Effective Date Balance Sheet and the Statement of Net Assets; the cost shall be provided for as a liability on the Effective Date Balance Sheet.

(d) The Effective Date Balance Sheet and Statement of Net Assets shall be prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“US GAAP”) and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the past practices of the Company.

(e) If, within forty (40) days following such delivery, Buyer fails to deliver to the Sellers a notice (pursuant to Section 9.5) stating in reasonable detail any objections Buyer may have with respect to the Effective Date Balance Sheet or the Statement of Net Assets (the “Dispute Notice”), Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Effective Date Balance Sheet and the Statement of Net Assets as delivered by Sellers.

(f) If there is a dispute regarding the Effective Date Balance Sheet or the Statement of Net Assets, Buyer and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute. If, after a period of thirty (30) days following the Sellers’ receipt (pursuant to Section 9.5) of the Dispute Notice, such dispute remains unresolved, Buyer and Sellers will jointly engage an international accounting firm mutually satisfactory to Buyer and Sellers, or if they cannot agree, an independent accounting firm of 200 or more accountants chosen by lot, with Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers jointly, on the other hand, having the right to select two of such firms, which cannot be the auditor for either Buyer or the Company and to strike one such firm chosen by the other party (the “Independent Accountant”), to resolve such dispute in accordance with this Agreement, and the decision of such firm shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. The Independent Accountant shall make its calculations in accordance with this Section 1.5. All fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant incurred in connection with such resolution shall be shared equally between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other. The final Effective Date Balance Sheet and Statement of Net Assets (whether finalized through the agreement of the parties or through the determination of the Independent Accountant) shall be referred to as the “Final Balance Sheet” and the “Final Statement of Net Assets”, respectively.

(g) All post-Execution adjustments to the Purchase Price resulting from the Final Statement of Net Assets shall be made within three (3) Business Days after the earlier of the agreement of the parties on the amount of such adjustment or the date on which a written notice of any resolution of such amount has been given by the Independent Accountant, as the case may be, to the parties hereunder, but in any case such adjustment shall be deemed to have occurred as of the Effective Date. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day in which banks are obligated to close in Salzburg, Austria.

(h) To the extent that there is a Purchase Price decrease, the Sellers shall deliver to Buyer within three (3) Business Days after the Final Balance Sheet and the Final Statement of Net Assets becomes final, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of such decrease. Buyer has the right, but not the obligation, to use the Escrow Amount to satisfy the obligation of Sellers with respect to the Purchase Price adjustment, if any. To the extent that there is a Purchase Price increase, Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers within three (3) Business Days after the Final Balance Sheet and the Final Statement of Net Assets becomes final, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount of such increase.

All of the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in Article II of this Agreement and all of the special indemnities contained in Article V of this Agreement shall survive the Execution until the date which is three (3) years after the Execution Date, except that (a) representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1 through 2.4 shall survive indefinitely, and (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.14 (Taxes) shall survive until the date which is three (3) months after all Taxes have been finally charged and assessed for periods until the Execution Date inclusive and, if a tax audit has been conducted for the period up to the Execution Date inclusive, until the date which is three (3) months after the legally binding completion (Rechtskraft) of the tax audit, which is deemed to be given only when all proceedings pending at the Constitutional Court (Verfassungsgerichtshof) and/or the Administrative Court (Verwaltungsgerichtshof), or, in the case of a foreign jurisdiction, comparable courts or authorities, if any, have also been completed. The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Article III of this Agreement shall survive the Execution until the date which is three (3) years after the Execution Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation or warranty or special indemnity that would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 6.1 will continue to survive until the related claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved, if (i) a Notice of Claim shall have been timely given under Section 6.4 on or prior to such termination date and (ii) arbitration proceedings in accordance with Section 7.9 or equivalent proceedings shall have been instituted within three (3) months from such termination date. There is no time limitation on any claim for or resulting from fraud other than any applicable statute of limitations.

Section 6.2 Indemnity Agreement of Sellers.

(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI and irrespective of Sellers’ fault (Verschulden), from and after the Execution, Sellers jointly and severally (als Gesamtschuldner) shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer or at Buyer’s sole discretion, the Company, on an Euro-per-Euro basis from and against any and all claims, payments, obligations, recoveries, deficiencies, fines, penalties, interest, assessments, actions, Liens, causes of action, suits, proceedings, judgments, losses (including, without limitation, lost profit), damages (including, without limitation, consequential damages), liabilities, costs, and expenses of any nature, kind or character (collectively “Losses”) asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any one or more of Buyer Indemnified Parties by reason of, resulting from, arising out of or based upon: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained in this Agreement or (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of any Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement or (c) any special indemnity.

(b) If and to the extent the defect (Mangel) is exclusively the result of an inaccurate or incomplete valuation (Bewertung) in the Financial Statements, Buyer’s claim pursuant to this Article VI shall be equal to the difference between the book value actually shown in the Financial Statements and the book value which would have to be shown in accordance with Article II hereof. In and to the extent the defect (Mangel) is the result of an

 

24


obligation or liability of the Company or a Subsidiary, which non-existence has been represented or warranted, Buyer’s claims pursuant to this Article VI shall be equal to an amount which the Company or Subsidiary has to pay in order to fully settle, discharge and satisfy such obligation or liability.

(c) If and to the extent that Losses are reflected in the amount of the Net Assets as set forth in the Final Statement of Net Assets, such Losses shall not be recoverable under this Section 6.2.

Section 6.3 Indemnity Agreement of Buyer. Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, from and after the Execution, Buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sellers, their affiliates and their respective agents, successors, representatives and assigns (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by any one or more of Seller Indemnified Parties by reason of, resulting from, arising out of or based upon: (a) any breach of any representation and warranty on the part of Buyer contained herein or in any certificate furnished or to be furnished by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; or (b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer contained herein.

Section 6.4 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Upon obtaining knowledge thereof, the party to be indemnified hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the indemnifying party hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of any claim which the Indemnified Party has determined has given or could give rise to a claim for Losses hereunder (such written notice referred to as the “Notice of Claim”); provided, that, the failure by the Indemnified Party to provide the Notice of Claim with reasonable promptness shall only relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. The Notice of Claim shall specify, in all reasonable detail, the nature and estimated amount of any such Losses giving rise to a right of indemnification.

(b) With respect to any matter set forth in a Notice of Claim relating to a third party claim, subject to the following sentence, the Indemnifying Party may compromise or defend, at the Indemnifying Party’s own expense, and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that no compromise or settlement thereof may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnified Party’s consent (which shall in any event not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law by the Indemnified Party or any violation of the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, (ii) there is no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Party, and (iii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such matter, then the Indemnified Party, at its expense and its own counsel, may defend such matter (without compromising its rights to indemnification pursuant to Article V or this Article VI). The Indemnifying Party shall have no liability with respect to any such matter, the defense of which is compromised without the Indemnifying Party’s consent (unless such consent was

 

25


unreasonably withheld or delayed). In any event, the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying Party’s counsel (and, if applicable, the Indemnified Party’s counsel) shall cooperate in good faith in the compromise of, or the defense against, any such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at the Indemnified Party’s expense, to participate in such defense and shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records, or other documents within its control that are reasonably necessary or appropriate for such defense. Without limiting the foregoing, the Sellers covenant and agree to cooperate with Buyer in good faith, and to provide all assistance reasonably requested by Buyer, in connection with the defense of any claim covered by any of the special indemnification provisions set forth in the Article V above.

Section 6.5 No Liability or Contribution by Company. Sellers shall not have any right of indemnification or contribution against the Company on account of any indemnification claims against them, and Sellers hereby irrevocably waive any such rights that they may have, whether under the Company’s articles of association, by contract or otherwise.

Section 6.6 Adjustment to Purchase Price. Any payments made pursuant to this Article VI shall be deemed, and treated as, an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

Section 6.7 Limitations of Indemnification.

(a) Sellers shall be liable under Section 6.2 only if the aggregate amount of all Losses exceeds € 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Euros) (the “Basket”). In case the Basket is exceeded, Sellers shall be liable for the full amount of all Losses and not only for the excess. The Basket shall not apply in respect of claims of Buyer relating to representations and warranties in Sections 2.1 through 2.4 and 2.14, to covenants and agreements in Article IV, and to special indemnities in Article V.

(b) The aggregate liability of Sellers under Section 6.2 with respect to any claims notified by Buyer no later than the first anniversary of the Execution Date shall not exceed € 6,000,000 (Six Million Euros) (the “Cap”). The Cap shall be reduced to € 4,000,000 (Four Million Euros) with respect to any claims notified by Buyer for the first time after the first anniversary of the Execution Date but no later than the second anniversary of the Execution Date. The Cap shall be reduced to € 2,000,000 (Two Million Euros) with respect to any claims notified by Buyer for the first time after the second anniversary of the Execution Date. No Cap shall apply to claims of Buyer relating to representations and warranties in Sections 2.1 through 2.4 and 2.14 and to covenants and agreements in Article IV.

ARTICLE VII

Except as otherwise required by Law, none of the parties hereto shall issue any press release or make any other public statement, in each case, relating to, in connection with or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contained herein, without obtaining the prior written approval of Sellers and Buyer as to the contents and manner of presentation and publication thereof.

 

26

Sellers shall be deemed to have “Knowledge” of a particular fact or matter if any Seller or Wolfgang Danninger or Roland Aigner (i) is actually aware of such particular fact or matter, or (ii) would have obtained knowledge of such particular fact or matter in the course of conducting a reasonable inquiry (prudent business man standard).

Section 7.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, shall pay their own expenses, including the fees and disbursements of their respective counsel in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.4 Waivers and Consents. All waivers and consents given hereunder shall be in writing. No waiver by any party hereto of any breach or anticipated breach of any provision hereof by any other party shall be deemed a waiver of any other contemporaneous, preceding or succeeding breach or anticipated breach, whether or not similar, on the part of the same or any other party.

Section 7.5 Notices.

Each party may change its address for the giving of notices and communications to it, and/or copies thereof, by written notice to the other parties in conformity with the foregoing.

Section 7.6 No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to benefit, confer rights upon or be enforceable by any third Person (including any employee of the Company) except the parties, and their respective successors and permitted assigns and any other Buyer Indemnified Parties or Seller Indemnified Parties.

Section 7.8 Governing Law. The interpretation and construction of this Agreement, and all matters relating hereto, shall be governed by the Laws of Austria.

Section 7.9 Arbitration. Any disputes arising hereunder shall be submitted to binding arbitration before a single arbitrator. Such arbitration shall be conducted by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in accordance with its commercial arbitration rules; provided, however, that in the event all of the parties to the dispute or controversy are in agreement respecting the use of some arbitration association and are willing to abide by its rules and procedures, then binding arbitration may be submitted to such organization by means of a written submission agreement. In the event the parties cannot mutually agree upon an arbitrator, an arbitrator shall be selected by the ICC from its commercial arbitration panel. The arbitration shall be conducted in English and take place in Vienna, Austria, if initiated by Buyer, or in Atlanta, Georgia, if initiated by a Seller, unless the parties shall mutually agree upon an alternate location. Any award rendered by the arbitrator shall be binding on each party hereto and shall be subject to and enforceable under the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards (New York convention) as a judgment of any court of the state, providence or country of the parties having competent jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall pay its own expenses of arbitration and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be equally shared; provided, however, that the arbitrator may assess, as part of its award, all or any part of the arbitration expenses of the other party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and of the arbitrator against the party raising such unreasonable claim, defense, or objection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 7.9 shall be construed as limiting in any way the right of a party hereto to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement from a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon request of any party hereto the other parties shall sign a separate arbitration agreement and do whatever else might be required in order to implement the foregoing.

Section 7.10 Parties in Interest. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by any party hereto, other than with the consent of all other parties hereto and shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

This Agreement is executed in one original notarial deed, which shall remain with the executing notary public in accordance with the provisions of the Austrian Notaries Code (Notariatsordnung). Any number of official counterparts (Ausfertigungen), certified copies (beglaubigte Kopien) or simple copies (einfache Kopien), all of which taken together shall constitute one instrument, may be issued to either party upon a party’s unilateral request and upon the requesting party’s costs and expenses.

Section 7.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the other documents referred to herein which form a part hereof, contains the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and therein.

Section 7.13 Amendments. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the parties hereto.

Section 7.16 Interpretation. Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial or arbitral interpretation, it is agreed that the court or arbitrator(s) interpreting or construing the same shall not apply the presumption that the terms of any such provision shall be more strictly construed against one party or the other by reason of the rule of construction that a document is to be construed most strictly against the party who itself or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of all parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.

The terms “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder”, “hereto” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All Article, Section and Exhibit references are to the Articles, Sections and Exhibits to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation” unless otherwise specified. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. All references herein to any period of days shall mean the relevant number of calendar days unless otherwise specified. All references herein to a “party” or “parties” are to a party or parties to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.
