and agreements contained herein and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:



     1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES.



     1.1 Purchase and Sale of Shares. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement and in consideration of the obligations of Purchasers herein provided, Seller hereby
agrees to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchasers, and Purchasers hereby agree to

all of the Shares, free and clear of any and all liens, security interests, mortgages, charges,
restrictions, adverse claims, encumbrances and rights of other persons of every nature and
description whatsoever. Each Purchaser shall receive five hundred (500) Shares of the Company.



     1.2 Consideration. In consideration of the sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment and

restrictions, adverse claims, encumbrances and rights of other persons of every nature and
description whatsoever.

            (b) Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be
delivered to Purchasers (i) good and valid certificates representing all of the Shares, duly
endorsed for transfer to Purchasers or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, with all



 









 




applicable transfer taxes, if any, paid; and (ii) all of the Company’s minute books, stock ledgers
and any other contracts, files and books (including corporate seals, if any, records and other data

deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller good and valid certificates representing all of the ELC
Shares, duly endorsed for transfer to Seller or accompanied by duly executed stock powers, with all
applicable transfer taxes, if any, paid.




     1.4 Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustment.



            (a) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to
Purchasers a balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Balance
Sheet”). The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall represent fairly the business of the Company and
shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP.



            (b) After the receipt of the Closing Date Balance Sheet, the Purchasers shall have five (5)
business days to review the Closing Date Balance Sheet. The Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be

to the fifth business day after the Purchasers’ receipt thereof. Such notice shall state in
reasonable detail the item or items in dispute, and shall state the amount, if any, of any
adjustment that should be made to the Closing Date Balance Sheet.



            (c) In the event of a dispute, the Parties will use their reasonable efforts to resolve any
such objections and any resolution by them shall be final and binding on them. If the Parties fail
to resolve any such dispute within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of notice from the
Purchasers in accordance with Section 1.4(b) above, then the Parties shall submit the dispute to a
mutually agreed upon independent auditor who shall resolve such dispute and such resolution shall
be final and binding on the Parties. The fees and expenses of such independent auditor shall be
borne equally by the Parties.



            (d) In the event the Adjusted Net Book Value (as defined below), as calculated from the final
Closing Date Balance Sheet, is less than $20,000, then Seller will make a cash payment to
Purchasers in the amount equal to the difference between the Adjusted Net Book Value and $20,000.
In the event the Adjusted Net Book Value as calculated from the final Closing Date Balance Sheet
exceeds $20,000, then the Purchasers will make a cash payment to Seller in the amount equal to the
amount by which the Adjusted Net Book Value exceeds $20,000. Any payment made pursuant to this
paragraph shall be made on or prior to the fifth business day following final determination of the
Closing Date Balance Sheet.



            (e) For purposes of this Agreement only, “Adjusted Net Book Value” shall mean net
assets (excluding goodwill) less net liabilities (excluding inter-company debt), as such items are
shown on the final Closing Date Balance Sheet.
