Any supplemental information required or desired by Purchaser shall be provided by Seller to Purchaser upon request.

(f)  The Assigned Agreements as of the Closing Date and all proceeds therefrom, including but not limited to all of Seller’s right, title and interest in those contracts, licenses, purchase orders, contractual rights, and other agreements, as identified in Schedule 1.1(f) (identifying each third party for each Assigned Agreement) as well as all agreements and/or contracts subsequently identified which are in any way connected with or related to the Portfolio Residual and/or the revenues, profits, and proceeds therefrom. (Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation to accept assignment over all Seller’s Assigned Agreements, at Purchaser’s sole discretion);

(g) All itemized Accounts Receivables owed to Seller in relation to the Purchased Assets as of the date of Closing and all proceeds owed therefrom as identified in Schedule 1.1(g). Purchaser acknowledges that Seller is a going concern with other accounts receivable unrelated to the Purchased Assets, which Seller is not transferring to Purchaser under this Agreement

(f) All rights and interests that Seller may have in materials, data and information provided by or collected about or on behalf of Seller’s Merchants that produce the Portfolio Residual, including Merchant Applications and Merchant Agreements (individually and collectively, “Client Information”).

1.2 All Liabilities and obligations of Seller in connection with and directly related to the Purchased Assets shall be assumed by the Purchaser from and after the Closing Date. Except as set forth within Schedule 1.2, Seller shall retain all of Seller’s Liabilities, debts, and obligations in relation to Seller’s Business and the Purchased Assets. Purchaser shall not be responsible for payment of any of Seller’s pending or future Liabilities, claims or obligations arising from Transactions with an Acquirer’s processing date prior to the Closing Date, regardless of when a claim is initiated.

1.3 Purchase Price. The total consideration for the Purchased Assets will be $20,000,000.00 payable by Purchaser as follows:

(a) The cash sum of $16,000,000.00 shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller at Closing.

(b) The cash sum of $2,000,000.00 shall be payable by Purchaser to Seller within but not later than six (6) months after Closing.

(c) The cash sum of $2,000,000.00 shall be paid by Purchaser at Closing to an escrow account established by Purchaser and Seller and subject to the Attrition Adjustment provided in hereinbelow.

1.4 Attrition Adjustment. At Closing, $2,000,000.00 (“Escrowed Funds”) shall be deposited into an escrow account to be released one year following the Closing Date (the “Anniversary Date”) in accordance with the following terms and conditions. Any escrow fees charged by the bank holding the Escrowed Funds shall be paid by Purchaser. Using the gross revenue figure of $1,200,000.00 from the Fiserv MM101 Report, the attrition adjustment to be applied to the Escrowed Funds, if any, shall be the percentage of the average revenue shortfall that occurs in months 9 through 12 after Closing that is more than 20% of the $1,200,000.00. For clarity, the grow revenue figure represents the total merchant income collected from all the Merchants as represented on the Fiserv MM101 Report. If that average revenue shortfall percentage calculation is 20% or less, then the full amount of the Escrowed Funds shall be released to Seller on the Anniversary Date. If that average revenue shortfall is more than 20%, then the Escrowed Funds will be released to Seller and Purchaser in pro rata amounts using the percentage basis of the funds that is more than 20%. As an illustration, if the average revenue shortfall is 30%, the Escrowed Funds shall be released to Seller in the amount of $1,800,000.00 and to Purchaser in the amount of $200,000.00 (using an attrition adjustment of 10%). The average revenue shortfall calculation will be based on and calculated by using the Fiserv MM101 Report even if any of the Purchased Assets are moved and boarded on another platform.

1.5 Closing.

(a) Time and Place. The closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall take place as close to 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time as reasonably possible on or before the Effective Date or as otherwise mutually agreed (the “Closing Date”), by delivery of documents in escrow to Purchaser’s counsel via e-mail or courier and wire transfer of funds rather than meeting in one place to accomplish the same.
