1.2     Excluded Assets.  Other than the Purchased Assets subject to Section
1.1, Buyer expressly understands and agrees that it is not purchasing or

SECTION 2.  
CONSIDERATION; INVESTIGATION PERIOD; CLOSING.

 
2.1     Consideration.  The consideration for the Purchased Assets (the
“Purchase Price”) is the payment of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), subject
to the adjustments set forth below, payable as follows:
 
(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer will pay Seller the amount of Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) in cash, cashier’s check, or immediately available funds, subject
to adjustment for any amounts unpaid by Seller to Buyer under that certain
Senior Multiple Advance Promissory Note, dated April 26, 2012, executed by
Seller, as Maker, in favor of Buyer, as Holder, subsequently replaced by that
certain Amended and Restated Senior Multiple Advance Promissory Note dated June
15, 2012 executed by Seller, as Maker, in favor of Buyer, as Holder (the “Buyer
Note”), and that certain Senior Multiple Advance Promissory Note, dated June 15,
2012, executed by Seller, as Maker, in favor of Marcus Shotey, as Holder (the
“Shotey Note”) (the Buyer Note and the Shotey Note are collectively referred to
herein as the “Pre-Closing Note”).  The initial payment described in this
Section 2.1(a) will be reduced by the amount, if any, outstanding and payable to
Buyer under the Pre-Closing Note and the Pre-Closing Note will then be cancelled
and treated as paid in full.
 
(b) Within thirty (30) days after the end of the twelve (12) month period
immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer will pay Seller the amount of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in cash, cashier’s check, or immediately
available funds (the “Twelve Month Payment”), subject to the adjustment provided
for in this Section 2.1(b).  Within thirty (30) days after the end of the twelve
(12) month period immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer will calculate
the gross revenues received from all of the existing customers of the Business
as of the Closing Date and from six prospective customers of the Business that
Seller has actively engaged or can demonstrate proof of active engagement for
new business as listed on Schedule 2.1 hereto (collectively, the "Business
Customers") for the twelve (12) month period beginning on the Closing Date and
ending on the last day of the twelfth month following the Closing Date (the
“Twelve Month Revenue”). If the Twelve Month Revenue is equal to $3,500,000,
then there will be no adjustment to the Twelve Month Payment. If the Twelve
Month Revenue is less than $3,500,000, the Twelve Month Payment will be reduced
by the amount of $1.25 for every $1.00 the Twelve Month Revenue is less than
$3,500,000. If the Twelve Month Revenue is equal to or less than $3,100,000,
Buyer will not owe the Twelve Month Payment to Seller.  If the Twelve Month
Revenue is greater than $3,500,000, the Twelve Month Payment will be increased
by the amount of $0.20 for every $1.00 the Twelve Month Revenue is greater than
$3,500,000 until the Twelve Month Revenue equals or exceeds $5,000,000, at which
time no further payments will be due Seller under this Section 2(b).  With
respect to the Business Customers listed on Schedule 2.1, if any of the
prospective customers become customers of the Business prior to the Closing
Date, the Seller shall have the right to substitute a new prospective customer
for each customer listed below that became a customer of the Business.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
(c) Within thirty (30) days after the end of the eighteen (18) month period
immediately following the Closing Date, Buyer will pay Seller the amount of Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) in cash, cashier’s check, or immediately
available funds (the “Eighteen Month Payment”), subject to the adjustment
provided for in this Section 2.1(c).  Within thirty (30) days after the end of
the eighteenth month following the Closing Date, Buyer will calculate the gross
revenues received from the Business Customers for the twelve (12) month period
beginning on the first day of the seventh month following the Closing Date and
ending at the end of the eighteenth month following the Closing Date (the
“Eighteen Month Revenue”).  If the Eighteen Month Revenue is equal to
$3,500,000, then there will be no adjustment to the Eighteen Month Payment.  If
the Eighteen Month Revenue is less than $3,500,000, the Eighteen Month Payment
will be reduced by the amount of $1.25 for every $1.00 the Eighteen Month
Revenue is less than $3,500,000. If the Eighteen Month Revenue is equal to or
less than $3,100,000, Buyer will not owe the Eighteen Month Payment to
Seller.  If the Eighteen Month Revenue is greater than $3,500,000, the Eighteen
Month Payment will be increased by the amount of $0.20 for every $1.00 the
Eighteen Month Revenue is greater than $3,500,000 until the Eighteen Month
Revenue equals or exceeds $5,000,000, at which time no further payments will be
due Seller under this Section 2(c).
      
            (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer will have
the right to offset the Twelve Month Payment or the Eighteen Month Payment due
Seller to the extent Seller breaches any representation or warranty of Seller
contained in this Agreement, provided, that, Buyer shall first provide notice of
such alleged breach and intent to offset ("Notice of Offset") to Seller.  Upon
receipt of the Notice of Offset, the parties shall have a fifteen (15) day
period in which to resolve the potential offset, if any, provided however, that,
Buyer shall pay the Twelve Month Payment and Eighteen Month Payment when due,
less the disputed potential offset amount.  If the parties are unable to resolve
the potential offset, then the parties shall utilize the arbitration process set
forth in Section 8.6 of this Agreement to resolve the amount of the offset, if
any.  The amount of offset shall not exceed the amount of damages caused to
Buyer (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) as a result of any
such breach of a Seller representation or warranty contained in this Agreement
and shall be determined by agreement of the parties or through the arbitration
process, as set forth above.
 
2.2     Closing and Closing Date.  The closing of the purchase and sale provided
for in this Agreement (the “Closing”) will be held on or before August 31, 2012
(“Closing Date”) at the offices of Gallagher & Kennedy, P.A. in Phoenix,
Arizona, or such other date or location that the parties agree to in writing,
after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions to Closing specified in
Section 7 hereof (other than those conditions that are normally performed at the
Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions);
provided, however, that the Closing Date shall be automatically extended up to a
maximum of forty-five (45) additional days if required in order to comply with
any regulatory requirements of the United States Securities Exchange
Commission.  Seller shall provide written notice to Buyer of any such required
extension.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
2.3    Allocation of Consideration.  The consideration for the Purchased Assets
will be allocated to Seller and among the Purchased Assets as specified on
Schedule 2.3.  Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Buyer will prepare
and submit to Seller an Internal Revenue Form 8594 (relating to purchase price
allocation), prepared in accordance with such allocation.  Seller and Buyer will
prepare their respective federal, state and local tax returns and reports
employing the allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.3 and will not take a
position in any tax proceeding or audit or otherwise that is inconsistent with
such allocation.  Seller and Buyer will give prompt notice to each other of the
commencement of any tax audit or the assertion of any proposed deficiency or
adjustment by any tax authority or agency that challenges such allocation.

hold harmless Buyer, its Affiliates and their respective shareholders, managers,

complaints, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings,
directions, dues, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities,
obligations, taxes, liens, losses, and fees, court costs, reasonable obligations
and liabilities, including interest, penalties and reasonable attorneys fees and
disbursements (“Damages”), arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect

in or pursuant to this Agreement;
 
(b) any breach or nonfulfillment by Seller of any covenant or obligation
contained in this Agreement;
 
(c) any and all liabilities, claims, damages, costs or expenses arising under

operation of the Business or ownership of the Purchased Assets prior to the
Closing Date.
 
8.2     Indemnification by Buyer.  Buyer will indemnify, defend, protect and
hold harmless Seller, its Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees,
representatives and shareholders (“Seller Indemnitees”) for, from and against
any and all Damages, arising out of, based upon or otherwise in respect of:

8.3     Defense of Claims. If a claim for damages (a “Claim”) is to be made by a
party entitled to indemnification hereunder against the indemnifying party, the
party claiming such indemnification shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”)
to the indemnifying party as soon as practicable after the party entitled to
indemnification becomes aware of any fact, condition or event which may give
rise to damages for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 8;
provided, that the omission by any indemnified party to give notice as provided
herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its indemnification
obligation under this Section 8 except to the extent that such omission results
in a failure of actual notice to the indemnifying party and such indemnifying
party is damaged as a result of such failure to give notice.  After such notice,
if the indemnifying party shall acknowledge in writing to the indemnified party
that the indemnifying party shall be obligated under the terms of its indemnity
hereunder in connection with such lawsuit or action, then the indemnifying party
shall be entitled, if it so elects, (i) to take control of the defense and
investigation of such lawsuit or action, (ii) to employ and engage attorneys of
its own choice (which shall be reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party)
to handle and defend the same, at the indemnifying party’s cost, risk and
expense unless the named parties to such action or proceeding include both the
indemnifying party and the indemnified party and the indemnified party has been
advised in writing by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses
available to such indemnified party that are different from or additional to
those available to the indemnifying party; provided, that the indemnified party
may participate in such defense, but only at such indemnified party’s expense
pursuant to this Section 8.3, and (iii) to compromise or settle such claim,
which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the written consent of
the indemnified party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  In any
event, Seller and Buyer shall cooperate in the defense of any action or claim
subject to this Section 8 and the records of each shall be available to the
other with respect to such defense.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
8.4     Monetary Limitations.  Seller will not be obligated to indemnify the
Buyer Indemnitees hereunder until the aggregate amount of Damages suffered by
the Buyer Indemnitees exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (the
“Indemnification Threshold”); provided, however, that indemnification for
Damages arising out of, resulting from or relating to a breach of any
representation or warranty from fraud or willful misrepresentation shall not be
subject to the Indemnification Threshold.
 
The Indemnification Threshold will not apply to Buyer’s right to offset the
Twelve Month Payment or Eighteen Month Payment due Seller to the extent Seller
breaches any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement as
set forth in Section 2.1(d).
 
(a) Once the aggregate amount of Damages suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees
exceeds the Indemnification Threshold, the Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled
to indemnification from and against all Damages relating back to the first
dollar.
 
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum amount of Damages payable to the
Buyer Indemnitees hereunder with respect to indemnification hereunder is equal
to the amount of the Purchase Price that has been actually received by the
Seller as of the date of such Claim (the “Indemnification Cap”), except that the
Indemnification Cap shall not apply to any Damages arising out of, resulting
from or relating to a breach of any representation or warranty from fraud or
willful misrepresentation by the Seller.  Buyer shall have the right to offset
any Damages in excess of the Indemnification Cap against the Twelve Month
Payment or Eighteen Month Payment due Seller in accordance with Section 2.1(d).
 
(c) Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnitees hereunder
with respect to breaches of representations or warranties until the aggregate
amount of Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnitees relating to breaches of
representations or warranties exceeds the Indemnification Threshold.  Once the
aggregate amount of such Damages suffered by the Seller Indemnitees exceeds the
Indemnification Threshold, the Seller Indemnitees shall be entitled to
indemnification from and against all Damages relating back to the first dollar;
provided, however, that indemnification for Damages arising out of, resulting
from or relating to a breach of any representation or warranty from fraud or
willful misrepresentation shall not be subject to the Indemnification
Threshold.  The maximum amount for which Buyer is obligated to indemnify the
Seller Indemnitees hereunder with respect to breaches of representations and
warranties is an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap; provided, however,
that indemnification for Claims arising out of, resulting from or relating to a
breach of any representation or warranty from fraud or willful misrepresentation
shall not be subject to the Indemnification Cap.
 
(d)           In no event shall any indemnifying party be liable to any
indemnified party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or
indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business
reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this
Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple.
 
(e)           Each indemnified party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to
take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Damages upon becoming aware of any
event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise
thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to
remedy the breach that gives rise to such Damage.
 
(f)           Seller shall not be liable under this Section 8 for any Damages
based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the
representations or warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement if Buyer has
knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing.

arbitrators will select a third arbitrator within ten (10) business days. At the
time of appointment and as a condition of the appointment, the arbitrator(s)
will be apprised of the time limitations and other provisions of Section 8.6 and
will agree to comply with such provisions and time limitations. The
arbitrator(s) will reach a decision on the merits on the basis of applicable
legal principles as embodied in the law of the State of Arizona.  The
arbitration hearing will take place in Phoenix, Arizona.
 
(f)           Arbitration Procedures and Timing.  During the thirty (30) day
period following appointment of the arbitrator(s), either party may serve on the
other a request for limited numbers of documents directly related to the
dispute.  Such documents will be produced within seven (7) days of the
request.  Following the thirty (30) day period of document production, there
will be a ten (10) day period during which limited depositions will be
permissible.  Neither party will take more than five (5) depositions, and no
deposition will exceed three (3) hours of direct testimony.  Disputes as to
discovery or prehearing matters of a procedural nature will be promptly
submitted to the arbitrator(s) pursuant to telephone conference call or
otherwise.  The arbitrator(s) will make every effort to render a ruling on such
interim matters at the time of the hearing (or conference call) or within five
(5) business days thereafter. Following the period of depositions, the
arbitration hearing will promptly commence.  The arbitrator(s) will make every
effort to commence the hearing within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the

final and nonappealable.
 
(h)           Provisional Remedies.  At any time during the procedures specified
in subsections (c) and (g), a party may seek a preliminary injunction or other
provisional judicial relief if in its judgment such action is necessary to avoid
irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo.  Despite such action, the
parties will continue to participate in good faith in the procedures specified
in this Section 8.6.
 
 
 
 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
 
(i)           Tolling Statutes of Limitations.  All applicable statutes of
limitation and defenses based upon the passage of time will be tolled with

Section 8.6 while such procedures are pending.  The parties will take such
action, if any, as is required to effectuate such tolling.

this Agreement in any respect if such amendment or modification is in writing
and agreed to by both parties.  The waiver by a party of any breach of any
provision of this Agreement will not constitute or operate as a waiver of any
other breach of such provision or of any other provision hereof, nor will any
failure to enforce any provision hereof operate as a waiver of such provision or
of any other provision hereof.
 
10.10    Governing Law.  This Agreement is made pursuant to, and will be
construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Arizona (and
United States federal law, to the extent applicable), irrespective of the
principal place of business, residence or domicile of the parties hereto, and

in any court of competent jurisdiction, specific performance or other equitable
remedies in the event of any breach or intended breach by the other party of any
of its obligations hereunder.
 
10.11    Severability.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular

as if such invalid or unenforceable provisions or parts were omitted.

counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original (including facsimile

10.13    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the agreements, exhibits,
schedules and certificates referred to herein or delivered pursuant hereto,
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the
purchase and sale of the Purchased Assets and supersedes all prior agreements
and understandings.  The submission of a draft of this Agreement or portions or
summaries thereof does not constitute an offer to purchase or sell the Purchased
Assets, it being understood and agreed that neither Buyer nor Seller will be
legally obligated with respect to such a purchase or sale or to any other terms
or conditions set forth in such draft or portion or summary unless and until
this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by all parties.
 
10.14    Schedules and Exhibits.  All schedules and exhibits to this Agreement
are an integral part of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by reference
in this Agreement for all purposes of this Agreement.  All Schedules delivered
with this Agreement will be arranged to correspond with the numbered and
lettered Sections and Subsections contained in this Agreement, and the
disclosures in such Schedules will qualify only the corresponding Sections and
Subsections contained in this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly provided
herein.
