3. PURCHASE PRICE:
     3.1 Purchase Price for Acquired Assets:
     A. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Assets will be $8,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price, reduced by the amount of the Assumed Employee Accrual as provided under Section 4.3.A below, and reduced by the Holdback, will be paid by Purchaser on the Closing Date as set forth herein.
     B. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted downward dollar-for-dollar by the amount by which the total value of all Inventory acquired by Purchaser hereunder, as calculated in accordance with Schedule 3.1.C (the “Final Inventory Value”), is less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Base Inventory Value”) and the Purchase Price shall be adjusted upward Fifty Cents ($.50) for each dollar by the amount by which the Final Inventory Value is greater than the Base Inventory Value.
     C. As promptly as practicable following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare a calculation of the Final Inventory Value as of the Closing Date, based on a physical count of Inventory that was conducted by Seller from June 18, 2010 to June 24, 2010. The Final Inventory Value shall be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, valued on a first in, first out basis and consistent with the valuation principles and practices identified in Schedule 3.1.C. The Final Inventory Value will reflect reserves for excess and obsolete Inventory that are consistent with the reserves for excess and obsolete Inventory determined in accordance with the valuation principles and practices identified in Schedule 3.1.C. Purchaser shall deliver the Final Inventory Value to Seller promptly upon completion of such calculation.
     (i) Within thirty (30) days after receiving the Final Inventory Value from Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a detailed statement describing Seller’s objections, if any, to the Final Inventory Value, or stating that Seller has no objections to the Final Inventory Value. If Seller has no objections to the Final Inventory Value, the Final Inventory Value shall become final and binding upon the parties. If Seller delivers to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period a statement of Seller’s objections to the Final Inventory Value (the “Objection Notice”), the Parties will endeavor to reconcile any differences and agree upon an adjusted Final Inventory Value. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an adjusted Final Inventory Value within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Objection Notice, at the request of either Party the outstanding matters shall be submitted for resolution to Plante Moran or, if either Party is utilizing the services of Plante Moran, such other accounting firm as the Parties mutually agree. Each of the Parties shall bear one-half (1/2) of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm. Such accounting firm’s scope of review shall be limited to only those items of disagreement specified in Seller’s Objection Notice and any items described by Purchaser in response to Seller’s Objection Notice. Such accounting firm shall make a final determination of the issues in dispute and prepare an adjusted Final Inventory Value as promptly as practicable, but in no event more than forty-five (45) days after engagement, and both Parties agree to cooperate fully with such accounting firm. The adjusted Final Inventory Value prepared by such accounting firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties.

14


 

     (ii) If the Final Inventory Value as determined above is less than the Base Inventory Value, Purchaser shall, at Seller’s option, deduct the shortfall amount from the Holdback or Seller shall pay such shortfall amount in immediately available funds, in each case within five (5) days following final determination of the Final Inventory Value. If the Final Inventory Value as determined above is greater than the Base Inventory Value, Purchaser shall pay Seller fifty percent (50%) of the difference in immediately available funds within five (5) days following determination of the Final Inventory Value.
    D. Within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser shall deliver a calculation of the Excess Inventory in accordance with Schedule 3.1.D (the “Final Excess Inventory Value”), together with a representation that such Final Excess Inventory Value is true and correct. The baseline for the determination of the amount of Excess Inventory shall be calculated in accordance with the valuation principles and practices set forth on Schedule 3.1.C and shall be the amount of Inventory on hand as of July 31, 2010, less the amount of Inventory necessary to fulfill the most current customer forecasts as provided by each customer of the Business, as agreed upon by the Parties (the “Baseline Report”).
     (i) During the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser shall use best efforts to enforce the terms and conditions of any Contract with customers relating to Inventory, including terms and conditions relating to Inventory repurchase, stagnant Inventory and the current term of the Contract. Further, during the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser shall not enter into any amendment to any Contract or revise or compromise the terms of any Contract relating to Inventory, including terms and conditions relating to Inventory repurchase, stagnant Inventory or acceleration of termination of a Contract, to the detriment of Seller.
     (ii) During the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser shall provide to Seller a quarterly report by part number in a format consistent with the Baseline Report, indicating the beginning Inventory balance, actual usage, quarterly Inventory balance and rolling twelve (12) month forecast. Purchaser shall provide Seller or its designee with reasonable access to review the Excess Inventory from Closing until expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period, with prior written notice and during normal business hours or as otherwise agreed by the Parties, to review the books, records and Inventory relating to the Baseline Report, at Seller’s cost. Seller’s review and activities at the Facility shall not unreasonably interfere with any ongoing production at the Facility.
     (iii) Within thirty (30) days after receiving the Final Excess Inventory Value from Purchaser, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a detailed statement describing Seller’s objections, if any, to the Final Excess Inventory Value, or stating that Seller has no objections to the Final Excess Inventory Value. If Seller has no objections to the Final Excess Inventory Value, the Final Excess Inventory Value shall become final and binding upon the Parties. If Seller delivers to Purchaser within such thirty (30) day period a statement of Seller’s objections to the Final Excess Inventory Value (the “Excess Inventory Objection Notice”), the Parties will endeavor to reconcile any differences and agree upon an adjusted Final Excess Inventory Value. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an adjusted Final Excess Inventory Value within thirty (30) days

15


 

following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Excess Inventory Objection Notice, at the request of either Party the outstanding matters shall be submitted for resolution in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.C(i).
     (iv) If the Final Excess Inventory Value as determined above is zero, Purchaser shall pay Seller, in immediately available funds, the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) within five (5) days following final determination of the Final Excess Inventory Value. If the Final Excess Inventory Value as determined above is more than zero but is less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Purchaser shall pay Seller, in immediately available funds, the difference between the Final Excess Inventory Value and One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) within five (5) days following final determination of the Final Excess Inventory Value. If the Final Excess Inventory Value as determined above is greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), Seller shall pay Purchaser (or, at Seller’s option, Purchaser may deduct from the Holdback) the amount of the Final Excess Inventory Value, up to a maximum of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) within five (5) days following determination of the Final Excess Inventory Value. Further, if, during the six (6) month period following expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period, Purchaser receives a payment from any customer related to Excess Inventory included in the Final Excess Inventory Value for which Seller has paid Purchaser, then Purchaser shall remit such payment to Seller.
     (v) Purchaser will not scrap or otherwise dispose of any Excess Inventory included in the Final Excess Inventory Value for which Seller has paid Purchaser, other than sale to the applicable customer without Seller’s prior written consent. Seller shall have the option, at any time during the six (6) month period following expiration of the Excess Inventory Review Period, to take ownership and possession of any Excess Inventory included in the Final Excess Inventory Value for which Seller has paid Purchaser. Purchaser shall permit Seller to store any such Excess Inventory owned by Seller at the Facility for a reasonable period of time and will provide Seller with reasonable access to the Facility to remove any such Excess Inventory.
     3.2 Holdback. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, at the Closing, Purchaser shall deposit the Holdback in an interest bearing account (the “Escrow Account”) pursuant to an Escrow Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 3.2 hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”), for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Escrow Period”); provided, however, for purposes of Section 3.1.D, the Escrow Period shall continue for an additional thirty (30) day period.

Seller will provide Purchaser and Purchaser will provide Seller with a copy of any information required to be furnished to the Secretary of Treasury under Internal Revenue Code Section 1060.
     C. To the extent that Seller makes any payments relating to the Business prior to, on or following the Closing Date with respect to any Acquired Assets as to which title passed to Purchaser on such Closing Date, and as to items in Section 3.3.D below relating to periods following such Closing Date for which the Purchaser will receive benefit, the Purchaser shall reimburse Seller on a per diem basis within thirty (30) days of receipt of evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser. If Seller receives any payment from a customer post-Closing relating to a period after the Closing, Seller shall immediately remit payment to Purchaser.
     D.
