2.02  Earn Out Provisions. Section 1.09 of the Asset Purchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
 
1.09 Earn Out.
 
(a)  As partial consideration for the Assets, Purchaser shall pay and deliver to Seller the Annual Earn Out Payment for each year in the Earn Out Period (collectively, the “Earn Out Payments”), payable in additional amounts of cash, promissory notes and/or shares of Parent Common Stock as provided herein, up to a maximum aggregate amount intended to represent $32,666,666 in value, dependent upon the operating and financial performance of the Business during calendar years 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 (collectively, the “Earn Out Period”) (refer to Schedule 1.09 for an illustrative example). The “Annual Earn Out Payment” for each calendar year in the Earn Out Period shall be an amount equal to (x) the Earn Out Period Valuation, calculated as of the date that is the last day of each such calendar year, minus (y) the Cumulative Consideration, calculated as of the calculation date of the Annual Earn Out Payment.
 
(b)  Each Annual Earn Out Payment shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller on any date (the “Earn Out Payment Date”) designated by Purchaser that falls within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each calendar year of the Earn Out Period, subject, in each case, to the following:
 
(i)  
an amount equal to forty percent (40%) of the Annual Earn Out Payment payable on such Earn Out Payment Date shall be paid to Seller in cash in immediately available funds; provided, that, if Purchaser, in its reasonable discretion, determines that (x) the amount of such cash payment of the Annual Earn Out Payment is greater than fifty percent (50%) of Purchaser’s Net Current Assets, calculated as of the Earn Out Payment Date, or (y) paying the cash portion of the Annual Earn Out Payment would materially adversely impact Purchaser’s financial condition, then: (A) an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Annual Earn Out Payment payable on such Earn Out Payment Date shall be paid to Seller in cash in immediately available funds, and (B) on such Earn Out Payment Date, Purchaser shall issue a promissory note (the “Earn Out Promissory Note”) in favor of Seller for an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Annual Earn Out Payment payable on such Earn Out Payment Date. The Earn Out Promissory Note shall be issued in form and substance satisfactory to Seller, in substantially the form of Exhibit P; and
 
 
(ii)
an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of the Annual Earn Out Payment payable on such Earn Out Payment Date shall be paid to Seller by delivery of that number of shares of Parent Common Stock as are necessary such that the value of shares in Parent Common Stock delivered to Seller is equal to sixty percent (60%) of such Annual Earn Out Payment; provided, that, Purchaser shall value such shares at the VWAP over the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the final day of each Earn Out Period.

(c)  Within ninety (90) days after the end of each calendar year of the Earn Out Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller a written statement setting forth in sufficient detail the calculation and supporting details thereof of the Annual Earn Out Payment, if any, for such calendar year (the “Earn Out Statement”). If Seller does not object in writing to the calculation of the Annual Earn Out Payment, if any, for such calendar year within twenty (20) days after Seller’s receipt of the applicable Earn Out Statement, the calculation set forth in such Earn Out Statement shall be deemed final and conclusive. In the event that Seller objects in writing to the calculation of the Annual Earn Out Payment, if any, set forth in an Earn Out Statement within such twenty (20) day period, Purchaser and Seller shall promptly meet and endeavor to reach agreement as to the calculation. If Purchaser and Seller reach agreement on the calculation, it will become final and conclusive. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to reach agreement within ten (10) days after delivery of Seller’s written objection to an Earn Out Statement, then an Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm will promptly be retained to undertake a review of such Earn Out Statement and to determine the calculation of the Annual Earn Out Payment, if any, which determination will be made as quickly as possible. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm may not assign a value or amount to such item greater than the greatest value or amount for such item claimed by either party or lower than the lowest value or amount for such item claimed by either party, in each case as presented to the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The determination of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm will be final and binding, and payment of the Annual Earn Out Payment, if any, based on such calculation will be made by Purchaser within ten (10) days after its determination by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm shall be borne by Purchaser if the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm determines that any payment set forth in the Earn Out Statement should be adjusted by five percent (5%) or more; otherwise, such fees shall be borne by Seller. The revised Earn Out Statement delivered by the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon Purchaser and Seller and shall not be subject to challenge or appeal by either party.
 
(d) In the event that any Earn Out Payments payable in cash are not timely paid, such amounts shall bear interest at the rate of 1.5% per month for a maximum of nine (9) months, and one-half of one percent (0.5%) per month thereafter or, if lesser, the maximum amount permitted by law. 
 
(e) In the event that, prior to the expiration of the Earn Out Period, (i) all or substantially all of the assets of Purchaser are sold, transferred or assigned, (ii) fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting capital stock of Purchaser is sold, transferred or assigned to an unaffiliated third party in a single transaction or a series of transactions, (iii) Purchaser is merged with or into another entity such that Purchaser is not the surviving entity nor the owner of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting equity interests of such surviving entity, (iv) Purchaser materially changes the operation of, or ceases to conduct, the Business in substantially the same manner as conducted as of the date of this Agreement, (v) the Parent Common Stock is delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market, and not listed on a recognized national stock exchange or over-the-counter market within sixty (60) days, or is the subject of any delisting notice or action which is not dismissed or discharged within sixty (60) days, or (vi) the Purchaser terminates the employment of Eric Bauman without “Cause,” as that term is defined in his Employment Agreement (any of the foregoing, an “Acceleration Event”), then an amount equal to $32,666,666 less the Cumulative Consideration previously paid shall become immediately due and payable to Seller. In such event, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be delivered in satisfaction of such unpaid Earn Out Payments shall be equal to (A) the amount of such unpaid Earn Out Payments to be paid in shares of Parent Common Stock, divided by (B) the closing price of the Parent Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market (or such other securities exchange or trading market where the Parent Common Stock is then traded) on the day immediately preceding the day on which the Acceleration Event is publicly announced.
