IV. Exchange of the Smith Shares ss.4.01 Terms of the Exchange On the basis of the representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements contained in this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (a) At the Closing, each Stockholder shall, assign, transfer, and convey to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall acquire from the Stockholder, the Stockholder's Respective Portion of the Smith Shares subject to the assignment, transfer and conveyance by all of the Stockholders of their Respective Portions of the Smith Shares, in consideration of the Stockholder's Respective Portion of the Centra Shares. Each Stockholder shall deliver at the Closing certificate or certificates representing the Stockholder's Respective Portion of the Smith Shares, duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by stock powers duly endorsed in blank, in each case in proper form for transfer, with signatures guaranteed by a commercial bank or a member firm of the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., and with all stock transfer and any other required documentary stamps affixed thereto. (b) The number of Centra Shares to be exchanged for the Smith Shares shall consist of the Base Amount (as defined below) plus the agreement of Purchaser to deliver the Additional Shares as provided below. Each Stockholder shall be issued his Respective Portion of the Base Amount and Smith shall be issued the Additional Shares. (A) The Base Amount shall be that number of Centra shares equal to $3 million dollars (based on a normalized EBITDA for the Company for the twelve months trailing September 2001 of $750,000; if the average EBITDA is less than $750,000 over this period from 10/1/2000 to 9/30/2001, then the Base Amount shall be adjusted accordingly). The EBITDA shall be determined based upon the normalization of audited financial statements of the Company at the end of the respective year-end. (B) Subject to adjustment of the Base Amount as provided above, at the Closing Purchaser shall issue to each Stockholder his Respective Portion of the Base Amount, minus the sum of (i) the amount of the unfunded obligations of the Company as of the Closing Date under the Employee Benefit Plans of the Company for the benefit of the Stockholders (if any) and (ii) the amount of indebtedness of the Company immediately prior to the Closing for monies borrowed from, or advances made to or on behalf of the Company the Stockholders. The Purchaser shall deliver to each Stockholder a certificate registered in his name for his Respective Portion of the Centra Shares, rounded to the nearest whole number (fractional shares will not be issued). The Centra Shares shall be valued at $2.50 per share to calculate the number of Centra Shares to be issued for the Base Amount. (C) Additional Shares shall be issued to Smith and Chavez as follows: (i) An amount equal to an increase in the Company's accounts receivable on the Closing Date (compared to the accounts receivable on the date hereof, subject to all normal bad debt reserves, write-offs, etc in accordance with GAAP and the Company's past practices consistently applied) which amount increases the Company's net working capital to a balance in excess of $250,000.00 on the Closing Date. Purchaser will perform a post Closing audit within 120 days after the Closing. Upon calculation of any increase in the Centra Shares under this subsection (i), Purchaser will issue to Smith and Chavez additional Centra Shares that equal the excess working capital over $250,000.00; Centra Shares shall be valued at $2.50 per share for this purpose. The Centra Shares issued under this Section 4.1(b)(C)(i) will be issued to Smith and Chavez according to their Stockholder's s Respective Proportion. (ii) An amount arrived at by multiplying by four the difference between the Company's EBITDA for the first twelve months following the Closing and the $750,000 base period EBITDA ("Additional Shares"). The First 12 months EBITDA shall be derived from the audited financial statements of the Company, which shall be audited by Purchaser's certified public accounts by no later than 120 days after the end of the fiscal year. The number of Additional Shares shall be determined as follows: if on the date such Additional Shares are to be issued the Purchaser's shares of Common Stock shall be listed for trading on a stock exchange or the NASDAQ, then for purposes of determining the amount of Centra Shares to be issued pursuant to this Additional Payment provision, the Purchaser's Common Stock shall be valued at the average closing trading price for the 30 consecutive prior trading days ending on the date that the parties agreed to the audited financial statements. Purchaser shall not be required to issue any fractional shares in connection with any such Additional Shares. In the event that any dispute regarding the First 12 Months EBITDA is not resolved within 30 days following the delivery of such audited financial statements, then all such disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration as provided in Section 4.01(D). In the event future acquisitions, tuck-ins, etc. cause this Additional Shares formula to become incalculable, then Smith and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith the Centra Shares to be delivered under this Section 4.01(C). The Additional Shares issued under this Section 4.1(b)(C)(ii) will be issued to Smith only. (D) In the event a dispute arises under this Agreement with respect to adjustments of the Base Amount or Additional Shares to be issued to the Stockholders, then such dispute shall be resolved by a single arbitrator under the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in New York County, New York. The arbitrator, in his or her sole discretion, shall have authority to award the prevailing party or parties its or their attorneys' fees and costs, and all costs of arbitration, in whole or in part, in addition to resolution of the disputed matter. ss.4.02 The Closing The closing of the exchange of the Smith Shares (the "Closing") shall take place at the offices of Reitler Brown LLC, 800 Third Avenue, 21st Floor, New York, New York 10022, at 10:00 A.M., local time, on December__, 2002.
