Section 9.1                                   Treatment of Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable.  The Assets include any VMDC Accounts Receivable as of February 7, 2006.  Praxis shall not assume any of VMDC’s accounts payable.  On or before the Closing Date, VMDC shall send a letter, which shall be subject to Praxis’ prior written approval, and which shall be addressed to each of VMDC’s customers and vendors, advising VMDC’s customers and vendors of the sale of the Assets to Buyer, and instructing such customers and vendors (a) to send all vendor bills and statements for all goods, services, and materials sold and delivered to VMDC before the Closing Date to VMDC, at the address for VMDC set forth in Section 9.2 below, (b) to remit all customer payments for all goods, services, and materials to Praxis at the address set forth in Section 9.2 below, (c) to remit all payments and to send all bills and statements for all goods, services, and materials from or received from vendors after the Closing Date to Praxis at the address set forth in Section 9.2 below, and (d) in the case of a customer, that the customer contract has been assigned by VMDC to Praxis.  This letter shall also state that VMDC believes this transaction is in the best interests of VMDC’s customers.  To the extent Praxis receives any payments with respect to VMDC Accounts Receivable, Praxis shall retain these payments in exchange for assuming the customer obligations associated with the Deferred Revenues.  VMDC shall report to Praxis on a daily basis any payments it receives pertaining to the VMDC Accounts Receivable, including any payments received on the Closing Date, and promptly remit those payments to Praxis: (1) on a daily basis to the extent the payments total at least $2,500, and (2) on a weekly basis by the following Monday of each week.
