4.2

Conditions Applicable the Purchase Price. The Purchase Price is subject to reduction in accordance with the Earn-Out (defined below). This Purchase Price is subject to setoff in the event that (i) Company breaches any term or condition within this Agreement; (ii) any of Company’s representations and/or warranties in this Agreement proves false or materially misleading; and/or (iii) any failure by Company to pay to one or more Referral Agents any and all fees owed to Referral Agents for residuals in relation to any Merchant’s processing activities.

Timing of Payment. The Purchase Price shall be divided into two components: (a) a payment at the time of Closing (“Closing Payment”); (b) a conditional Earn-Out Payment (defined below) three hundred sixty five (365) days after the Closing Date.

5.1

Closing Payment. The Closing Payment shall be Six Hundred Seventy Eight Thousand Three Hundred Sixty Six Dollars and no Cents ($678,366.00 USD), subject to reduction based upon any Advanced Payment (as defined below).

Conditions Upon Payment (Earn-Out and Setoff). Final Payment shall be subject to and conditioned upon both: (a) an Attrition Guarantee; and (b) the Performance Obligations (each defined below), which together shall comprise the Company’s earn-out (“Earn-Out Conditions”). If either the Attrition Guarantee or Performance Obligations are not satisfied, then Purchaser shall have no obligation to pay Company the Earn-Out Payment.

6.1

Attrition Guarantee. Company guarantees (“Attrition Guarantee”) that the Portfolio Residual’s annual average attrition rate (the percentage that the Net Revenue derived from the Portfolio Residual decreases during the twelve months immediately following the Closing) (the “Attrition Rate”) shall not exceed (i) fifteen percent (15%) during the 365-day period immediately following the Closing Period (“Earn-Out Period”). Applying the permitted annual attrition rate of fifteen percent (15%) to the stipulated monthly Net Revenue figure (of $37,687.00), in order to satisfy the Attrition Guarantee, the average of monthly Net Revenues Purchaser derives from the Portfolio Residual during the twelve (12) month Earn-Out Period shall be no less than $32,033.00 per month. The Attrition Guarantee is calculated based upon the Merchant accounts that contribute to the Portfolio Residual as of the Closing Date.

6.2

Performance Obligations. In addition to the Attrition Guarantee, in order to become entitled to receive the conditional Earn-Out Payment, Company must also ensure that Company at all times during the Earn-Out Period satisfies and upholds all of Company’s obligations, undertakings, duties, and representations and warranties, as set forth in this Agreement (“Performance Obligations”). If (i) Company breaches any term or condition of this Agreement; or (ii) if any of Company’s representations and/or warranties proves false or materially misleading, such an occurrence shall be deemed a failure by the Company to satisfy its Performance Obligations.

6.3

Loss of Earn-Out Payment. If either the Attrition Guarantee and/or Performance Obligations are not satisfied during the Earn-Out Period, Company shall not be entitled to the conditional Earn-Out Payment, under which circumstance, Purchaser’s Closing Payment to Company shall be deemed the sole and exclusive payment obligation owed from Purchaser to Company as full and complete consideration for this transaction, no additional payments will then after be due from Purchaser to Company, and Company shall retain full, sole, and exclusive ownership rights over all Purchased Assets as set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting Purchaser’s possible remedies in law and/or equity, Purchaser’s payment obligations to Company are further subject to setoff for any amount owed to Purchaser due to any misrepresentations or breach of warranties or covenants by Company, or Company’s breach of any provision of this Agreement. The Parties agree that in the event that Company is not entitled to receive its Earn-Out Payment, this occurrence shall not be considered punitive, nor shall it in any way restrict any of Purchaser’s other rights to recover against Company in law and/or equity.
