ARTICLE II
PURCHASE AND SALE OF MEMBERSHIP INTEREST

2.1    Agreement to Purchase and Sell.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller agrees to sell, convey, transfer, assign and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase, acquire and take from Seller, all of the Seller Interest, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens.

2.2    Purchase Price and Payment Thereof.  Subject to Section 2.3 below, the aggregate purchase price for the Seller Interest (the “Purchase Price”) shall be $5,000,000.00, payable by: (a) payment of $1,500,000.00 at Closing by wire transfer to Seller, reduced dollar for dollar by the unpaid principal and accrued interest on the Bridge Loan Note and subject to further reduction, if any, pursuant to Section 2.4 below, (such net amount, the “Closing Cash Consideration”); and (b) the issuance and delivery of 2,000,000 shares of common stock of the Purchaser, $0.001 par value per share, subject to reduction pursuant to Section 2.3, if applicable (as adjusted, the “Closing Delivered Securities”).  All Closing Delivered Securities shall be unregistered, restricted and subject to a lock-up period of twenty-four (24) months from the Closing Date (the “Lock-Up Period”). During the Lock-Up Period, Seller will not, directly or indirectly, unless otherwise provided herein, (a) offer, sell, agree to offer or sell, solicit offers to purchase, grant any call option or purchase any put option with respect to, pledge, assign, transfer, borrow or otherwise dispose of any Securities or otherwise publicly disclose the intention to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may transfer Securities (i) as a bona fide gift or gifts, (ii) to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of Seller or the immediate family of Seller, (iii) by testate succession or intestate succession, (iv) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or in connection with a divorce settlement, (v) in connection with a potential sale or acquisition of Purchaser 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 5 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

(whether by merger, business combination, sale, purchase, joint venture or otherwise), whether through an individual transaction or series of transactions, involving the equity or voting power, assets or operations of acquisition or sale of the Purchaser. Upon any of these permitted transfers, the Lock-Up Period continues to run and the transferee takes the Securities subject to the Lock-Up Period. For purposes of this Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.

2.3    Adjustment in Case Value of Closing Delivered Securities is not $1.75 per share. If the 5-Day Weighted Average Closing Price is less than $1.75 per share, Purchaser will execute and deliver to Seller an unsecured note payable in cash for the difference between (a) $3,500,000 and (b) the 5-Day Weighted Average Closing Price multiplied by 2,000,000 shares (the “Closing Note”), substantially in the same form as Exhibit A hereto.  Such Closing Note will mature on the first anniversary of the Closing Date.  If the 5-Day Weighted Average Closing Price is above $1.75 per share, the number of Closing Delivered Securities will be reduced by such number of shares representing the difference between (i) 2,000,000 shares and (ii) $3,500,000 divided by the 5-Day Weighted Average Closing Price, subject to a maximum 5-Day Weighted Average Closing Price of $2.50 per share.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the 5-Day Weighted Average Closing Price is $1.75 per share or above, no Closing Note will be issued.

2.4     Purchase Price Adjustments. 

(a)     The Parties agree that, at Closing, the Company shall not have any Liabilities other than those Liabilities included in the calculation of Net Working Capital for purposes of  Section 2.4(b) below (collectively, the “Permitted Liabilities”), and that there shall be no Liens against the Seller Interest, Company, and/or any of the Company’s assets, other than Permitted Liens.  Accordingly, in the event that the Company has any Liabilities at Closing other than the Permitted Liabilities, the Purchase Price shall be reduced dollar for dollar for the amount of any such Liabilities by the reduction in the Closing Cash Consideration.

(b)    Closing Net Working Capital.

(i)At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser an estimated detailed unaudited balance sheet as of the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP in good faith and consistent with past practices for the Company (the “Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet”), which Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet shall be accompanied by, among other things, an estimate of the Net Working Capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (“Closing Net Working Capital”), which must be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.  If the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet is a negative amount (the “Preliminary Working Capital Shortfall”), the Closing Cash Consideration shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis equal to the amount of such Preliminary Working Capital Shortfall.  If the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company on the Preliminary Closing Balance Sheet is a positive amount (the “Preliminary Working Capital Excess”), the Closing Cash Consideration shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis equal to the amount of such Preliminary Working Capital Excess.  Such adjustment (if any) to the Closing Cash Consideration shall remain subject to final determination pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(vi) and Section 2.4(b)(vii) below.

(ii)As soon as reasonably practicable, with a target date of fifteen (15) calendar days following the Closing Date, but not later than thirty (30) calendar days following the Closing Date, Purchaser shall cause the Company to prepare and deliver to Seller an updated detailed balance sheet as of the Closing Date prepared in accordance with GAAP in good faith and consistently with past practices for the Company (the “Updated Closing Balance Sheet”), which Updated Closing Balance Sheet shall 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 6 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

contain, among other things, a determination of the actual final Closing Net Working Capital of the Company. Purchaser and its representatives shall have the right to all financial records of the Company to prepare the Updated Closing Balance Sheet.

(iii)Upon receipt of the Updated Closing Balance Sheet, Seller shall cause Seller’s independent certified public accountants, during the succeeding thirty (30) calendar day period, to review the Updated Closing Balance Sheet, and Seller and his representatives shall have the right to review, upon request, all financial statements and records of assets and liabilities related thereto, and to examine and review all records and work papers and other supporting documents used to prepare the Updated Closing Balance Sheet and all such relevant information through the date thereof.  Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate with Seller to ensure that Seller and his representatives have full access at all reasonable times to the working papers relating to the Updated Closing Balance Sheet, including any descriptions of the methodology, procedures and analysis undertaken in connection with the preparation of the Updated Closing Balance Sheet.  Upon its completion but, in any event no later than the expiration of the thirty (30) calendar day period referenced above (the “Closing Balance Sheet Dispute Deadline”), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of objections to the Updated Closing Balance Sheet, if any, and setting forth a reasonably detailed explanation of the objections and the dollar amount related to each such objection (the “Closing Balance Sheet Dispute Notice”).  If Seller does not deliver a Closing Balance Sheet Dispute Notice on or prior to the Closing Balance Sheet Dispute Deadline, the Updated Closing Balance Sheet is deemed irrevocably accepted by Seller and automatically becomes final (the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”).

(iv)If Seller objects to line items set forth on the Updated Closing Balance Sheet, Seller and Purchaser shall attempt to resolve any such objections within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt by Purchaser of any such objections.  If Seller and Purchaser are unable to resolve the matter within such thirty (30) calendar day period, Seller and Purchaser shall jointly appoint an impartial independent certified public accounting firm (the “Arbitrator”) mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (or, if they cannot agree on a mutually acceptable firm, they shall cause their respective accounting firms jointly to select such firm) within five (5) calendar days after the end of such thirty (30) calendar day period to resolve any such remaining disputed matters.  Any such resolution by the Arbitrator shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties, and the fees of the Arbitrator shall be borne as the Arbitrator shall determine after considering the positions asserted by Seller and Purchaser in light of its final decision.  The Parties shall fully cooperate with the Arbitrator.  The Parties shall instruct the Arbitrator to resolve objections, using the procedures and methodologies set forth in this Agreement including GAAP.  The Arbitrator shall also be instructed to reach its conclusion regarding the disputed matter within thirty (30) calendar days of its appointment to settle the dispute and to declare a Final Closing Balance Sheet.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Arbitrator may not, in making its determination pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(iv), determine that the amount of a line item is outside of the range established for the particular line item in the Closing Balance Sheet Dispute Notice and the Updated Closing Balance Sheet.

(v)Upon receipt of the Arbitrator’s conclusions, the Updated Closing Balance Sheet shall be adjusted to reflect such conclusions and be deemed to be the Final Closing Balance Sheet and to be irrevocably accepted by the Parties.

(vi)If the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company on the Final Closing Balance Sheet is a negative amount (the “Final Working Capital Shortfall”), the Purchase Price shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis equal to the amount of such Final Working Capital Shortfall (subject to any adjustment made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) above) by payment by Seller to Purchaser in immediately available funds delivered to an account as specified by Purchaser within five 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 7 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

(5) Business Days from the date of the determination of the Final Closing Balance Sheet as described in this Section 2.4(b).

(vii)If the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company on the Final Closing Balance Sheet is a positive amount (the “Final Working Capital Excess”), the Purchase Price shall be increased on a dollar-for-dollar basis equal to the amount of such Final Working Capital Excess (subject to any adjustment made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(i) above) by payment by Purchaser to Seller in immediately available funds delivered to an account as specified by Seller within five (5) Business Days from the date of the determination of the Final Closing Balance Sheet as described in this Section 2.4(b).

2.5    Instruments of Transfer; Further Assurances.  In order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, at the Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser a conveyance document in a form acceptable to Purchaser conveying the Seller Interest to Purchaser.  At the Closing, and at all times thereafter as may be necessary, Seller shall execute and deliver to Purchaser such other instruments of transfer as are reasonably necessary or appropriate to vest in Purchaser good and indefeasible title to the Seller Interest and to comply with the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

2.6    Purchase Price Allocation.  For federal income tax purposes, the Company shall be disregarded as an entity separate from Seller (prior to the Closing) and Purchaser (after the Closing).  Accordingly, the purchase and sale of the Seller Interest pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as an “applicable asset acquisition” (within the definition ascribed to such term by Code Section 1060).  The Purchase Price, as adjusted pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, and all Company liabilities that are treated as liabilities for federal income tax purposes shall be allocated for income tax purposes among the Company’s assets in accordance with Schedule 2.6 and Internal Revenue Service Form 8594 (the “Allocation”). Upon the determination of the Final Closing Balance Sheet pursuant to Section 2.4, the Parties shall finalize the Allocation.  The Parties shall prepare and file all Tax returns in a manner consistent with the foregoing intended tax treatment and the Allocation, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sustain such tax treatment and the Allocation in any subsequent Tax audit or dispute.

ARTICLE III

ARTICLE V
INDEMNIFICATION

5.1        Indemnification by Seller.  Seller agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser and Purchaser’s shareholders, directors, officers, Affiliates, employees and agents (the “Purchaser Parties”) harmless from any and all damages, losses, shortages, liabilities, payments, obligations, penalties, claims, litigation, demands, defenses, judgments, suits, proceedings, costs, disbursements or expenses (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature whatsoever (collectively the “Damages”), directly or indirectly resulting from, relating to, or arising out of: (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Seller and the Company contained in Section 3.1 hereof; (ii) any of the Company’s Liabilities other than the Permitted Liabilities, subject to Section 2.4(b); (iii) the non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of Seller or the Company contained in this Agreement, any Operative Document or any instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement; (iv) the Company’s operation of the Acquired Business prior to the Closing Date; (v) the Company not maintaining any insurance policies; and/or (vi) any of the Company’s Liabilities to its employees, agents or independent contractors (other than those Liabilities included in the calculation of Net Working Capital for purposes of Section 2.4(b) above) which would otherwise have been satisfied and released pursuant to the release instruments described in Section 4.2(i) and Section 4.2(j) hereof (the “Release Documents”) in the event that one or more of the Release Documents is/are not executed and delivered to Purchaser in connection with the Closing, and including, without limitation, the Company’s Liabilities regarding salaries, bonuses, accrued vacation, change in control payments, residual commissions, and assignment of rights in Company Intellectual Property.

5.2        Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser agree to indemnify and hold Seller and Seller’s  Affiliates, heirs, executors, personal representatives and agents (the “Seller Parties”)  harmless from any and all Damages directly or indirectly resulting from, relating to, or arising out of: (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty of Purchaser contained in Section 3.2 hereof, (ii) any liability of Purchaser or the Acquired Business and arising on or after the Closing Date; (iii) the non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, any Operative Document or any instrument or agreement delivered pursuant to this Agreement; and/or (iv) Purchaser’s ownership of the Company and operation of the Acquired Business after the Closing Date.

5.3. Basket and Cap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except with respect to any fraud, willful breach or criminal acts committed by Seller or the Company: (a) the Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser Parties for indemnification under Section 5.1 only with respect to Damages in respect of indemnification under Section 5.1 that in the aggregate exceed $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which event the Purchaser Parties may claim indemnification for all Damages, including 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 32 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

Damages less than or equal to the Basket; and (b) the aggregate amount of all Damages for which Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser Parties for indemnification under Section 5.1 shall not exceed 30% of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, except with respect to any fraud, willful breach or criminal acts committed by Purchaser: (i) Purchaser shall be liable to the Seller Parties for indemnification under Section 5.2 only with respect to Damages in respect of indemnification under Section 5.2 that in the aggregate exceed the Basket, in which event the Seller Parties may claim indemnification for all Damages, including all Damages less than or equal to the Basket; and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Damages for which Purchaser shall be liable to the Seller Parties for indemnification under Section 5.2 shall not exceed the Cap. 

5.4        Claims for Indemnification.  Whenever any claim arises for indemnification hereunder, the indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing by registered or certified mail promptly after the Indemnitee has actual knowledge of the facts constituting the basis for such claim (the “Notice of Claim”).  Such notice shall specify all material facts known to the Indemnitee giving rise to such indemnification right, and to the extent practicable, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom.  The failure of any Indemnitee to promptly notify the Indemnitor shall not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligation to indemnify with respect to such action and shall not relieve the Indemnitor of any other liability which it may have to any Indemnitee unless such failure to notify the Indemnitor prejudices the rights of the Indemnitor.

5.5        Right to Defend.  If the facts giving rise to any such claim for indemnification involve any actual or threatened claim or demand by any Third Party against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor shall be entitled (without prejudice to the right of the Indemnitee to participate in the defense of such claim or demand at its expense through counsel of its own choosing) to assume the defense of such claim or demand in the name of the Indemnitee at the Indemnitor’s expense and through counsel of its own choosing, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, if it gives written notice to the Indemnitee within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Notice of Claim that the Indemnitor intends to assume the defense of such claim and acknowledges its liability to indemnify the Indemnitee for any losses resulting from such claim; provided, however, that if the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the defense of any claim, then (a) the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or demand at its expense through counsel of its own choosing, provided the Indemnitee shall control the defense of such claim.  Whether or not the Indemnitor does choose to so defend such claim, the Parties shall cooperate in the defense thereof and shall furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be requested in connection therewith.

5.6        Settlement.  The Indemnitee shall make no settlement of any claim that would give rise to liability on the part of the Indemnitor under an indemnity contained in this Article V without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnitor can settle without the consent of the Indemnitee only if the settlement involves only the payment of money for which the Indemnitor will be fully liable and has the capacity to pay.  No other settlement of any claim may be made without the consent of both the Indemnitee and Indemnitor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

5.7        Claim Reduction; Minimization of Indemnities.  Any claim for indemnification under this Article V shall be reduced to the extent of any Third Party insurance (excluding any deductibles or arrangements in the nature of a financing) or condemnation payment actually received by the Indemnitee. Each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the indemnification obligations of the other Party under this Article V by, among other reasonable things and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 33 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

taking such reasonable remedial action as it believes may minimize such obligation and seeking to the maximum extent possible reimbursement from insurance carriers under applicable insurance policies covering any such liability.  Seller shall have no rights of contribution, reimbursement, indemnification, recovery or similar right against the Company with respect to any indemnification obligations of Seller hereunder.

5.8        No Third Party Beneficiaries.  The foregoing indemnification is given solely for the purpose of protecting the Parties and shall not be deemed extended to, or interpreted in a manner to confer any benefit, right or cause of action upon, any other Person.

5.9        Investigation or Knowledge.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the right of any Party hereto to indemnification, payment of Damages or other remedies will not be affected in any way by any investigation conducted or knowledge (whether actual, constructive or imputed) acquired at any time by such Party with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of, any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation or by the waiver of any condition.

5.10        Materiality.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, for the sole purpose of determining the amount of any Damages (as opposed to whether a breach has occurred), each representation and warranty herein will be deemed made without any qualifications or limitations as to materiality and, without limiting the foregoing, the word “material” and words of similar import will be deemed deleted from any such representation or warranty.  

5.11        Sole Remedy. Except with respect to any fraud, willful breach, criminal acts or breach of any securities laws committed by a Party, the indemnification provided in this Article V (including all limitations contained herein) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for all matters relating to this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and for the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein.

5.12        Rights of Offset.  Purchaser shall have the right to withhold and offset against any amount due to Seller (including, without limitation, the Closing Note) the amount of any claims for indemnification or payment of Damages to which the Purchaser Parties may be entitled under this Agreement.  Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such rights of offset will constitute an election of remedies or limit Purchaser in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to Purchaser. In the event that Purchaser desires to exercise its right of offset (an “Offset Claim”), Purchaser shall provide Seller written notice of such Offset Claim, including the amount of such Offset Claim, the calculation of such Offset Claim, and supporting documentation for such Offset Claim (an “Offset Claim Notice”).  Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of any specific objections and supporting documentation therefor (the “Offset Dispute Notice”) within ten (10) calendar days of such Offset Claim Notice (the “Offset Objection Period”).  If Seller does not provide an Offset Dispute Notice regarding such Offset Claim within the Offset Objection Period, then Seller shall be deemed to agree to the Offset Claim and Purchaser may immediately offset the Offset Claim amount against the Closing Note or any other amount due to Seller.  If Seller provides an Offset Dispute Notice within the Offset Objection Period, Seller and Purchaser agree that the Offset Claim amount shall be placed in escrow by Purchaser upon the maturity date of the Closing Note or on the date that any other applicable amount would otherwise be due to Seller pursuant to an escrow agreement mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser, but including distribution provisions by the escrow agent only upon the joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser or a final non-appealable judgment against Seller regarding the Offset Claim.

CERTAIN POST-CLOSING COVENANTS

6.1        Tax Matters.

(a)           Tax Returns.

(i)         Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and timely filed all Tax Returns of the Company for income, gross receipts and similar Taxes (including any business, professional and occupational license Taxes or similar Taxes) that are required to be filed by or with respect to the Company on or before the Closing Date for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Tax Period”), subject to the review and approval by Seller.  The Tax Returns filed by the Purchaser on behalf of the Company shall be filed as a “stub-year” Tax Return filing and shall cover the period from January 1, 2017 through the Closing Date.  Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices with respect to such items, unless otherwise required by Applicable Law.  Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in this Section 6.1(a) prior to filing, and shall make changes to such Tax Returns reasonably requested by Seller to ensure that such Tax Returns are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.

(ii)    Purchaser shall prepare and file, when due, any Tax Returns of the Company for Tax periods which begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date, and all Tax Returns of the Company for the Pre-Closing Tax Period.  To the extent such Tax Returns relate to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, Purchaser shall provide Seller with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such Tax Return prior to filing, and shall make changes to such Tax Returns reasonably requested by Seller to ensure that such Tax Returns are consistent with the terms of this Agreement.  Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing of such Tax Return, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive from Seller an amount equal to the Taxes required to be paid in connection with such Tax Returns for the Pre-Closing Tax Period to the extent such amount is greater than such Taxes that are included as Permitted Liabilities.

(iii)    The Parties acknowledge that the Company has been disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes as an entity separate from Seller at all times from August 4, 2016 to the Closing Date.  Accordingly, notwithstanding paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, the business and operations of the Company occurring during such period shall be reported on Seller’s federal and applicable state income Tax Returns. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall have exclusive control over such Tax Returns, and Purchaser shall not have any right to prepare, review or comment upon such Tax Returns.

(b)    Cooperation on Tax Matters.  Purchaser, the Company and Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 6.1(a) and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.  Purchaser shall: (i) retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Seller, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority; and (ii) give Seller written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Seller so requests, Purchaser and the Company shall allow Seller to take 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 35 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

possession of such books and records.  Purchaser and Seller further agree, upon request, to cooperate in good faith to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed by the transactions contemplated hereby.  In addition, Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate in good faith in obtaining any certificate or other document from any Governmental Body or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed by the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c)           Tax Indemnification.

(i)          Seller shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Purchaser Parties harmless against all Taxes imposed on the Company or with respect to the Acquired Business for all taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, except to the extent such Taxes are Permitted Liabilities.

(ii)    Purchaser and the Company shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold the Seller Parties harmless against all Taxes imposed on the Company or with respect to the Acquired Business for all taxable periods (or portions thereof) ending after to the Closing Date and for any Taxes that are Permitted Liabilities.

(iii)    For purposes of Section 6.1(a) and this Section 6.1(c), the portion of any Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period beginning on or prior to the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”) that shall be allocated to Seller is:

(A)in the case of Taxes that are either (1) based upon or related to income or receipts or (2) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), other than conveyances pursuant to this Agreement, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended on the Closing Date; and

(B)in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets or otherwise measured by the level of any item, shall be the product of (1) the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), and (2) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period.

Any credit or refund resulting from an overpayment of Taxes for a Straddle Period shall be prorated based upon the method employed in this Section 6.1(c)(iii) taking into account the type of the Tax to which the refund relates.  In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this Section 6.1(c)(iii) shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date.  All determinations necessary to effect the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with prior practice of the Company.

(iv)    Seller shall be entitled to any credit or refund of Taxes of the Company for any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date, net of any Taxes borne by Purchaser or the Company as a result of its receipt of such credit or refund.

(v)    For the avoidance of doubt, the rules and procedures of Article V above shall apply to the indemnification covenants set forth in this Section 6.1.   

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 36 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.

(d)    Certain Taxes. Seller shall bear and pay 100% of all transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement.  Purchaser and Seller will cooperate in the preparation and filing of all necessary Tax Returns with respect to all such transfer Taxes.

		
	6.2
	    Non-Competition and Non-Solicitation.

(a)Non-Competition.  For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller will not, anywhere in the United States of America, directly or indirectly invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, advise, render services to or guarantee the obligations of any Person engaged in or planning to become engaged in the Acquired Business (“Competing Business”), provided, however, that Seller may purchase or otherwise acquire up to (but not more than) three percent (3%) of any class of the securities of any Person (but may not otherwise participate in the activities of such Person) if such securities are listed on a national securities exchange.

(b)Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire.  For a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, Seller will not, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit the business of any Person who is a customer of Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates for the purpose of a Competing Business; (ii) cause, induce or attempt to cause or induce any customer, supplier, licensee, licensor, franchisee, employee, consultant or other business relation of Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates to cease doing business with Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates, to deal with any competitor of Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates or in any way interfere with its relationship with Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates, all of the foregoing solely as it relates to the Acquired Business; or (iii) hire, retain or attempt to hire or retain any employee of Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates (current, or former if such Person was an employee or independent contractor in the twelve-month period prior to the relevant time period) or in any way interfere with the relationship between Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates and any of their employees or independent contractors.  Notwithstanding the foregoing nor any other provision herein to the contrary, nothing in item (iii) above shall prohibit the recruiting or hiring of any individual that is recruited or hired in response to any “help wanted” general advertisement or other general solicitation seeking employees, whether made on a national, local or regional basis.

(c)Modification of Covenant.  If a final judgment of a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision contained in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) is invalid or unenforceable, then the Parties agree that the court or tribunal will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or geographic area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.  This Section 6.2 will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that this Section 6.2 is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve Purchaser’s legitimate business interests and the value of the Seller Interest and the Acquired Business.

(d)Enforcement of Covenant.  The Parties agree that the remedy of damages at law for the breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 6.2 may be an inadequate remedy.  In recognition of the irreparable harm that a violation by Seller of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations arising under this Section 6.2 may cause Purchaser, the Company or their Affiliates, Seller agrees that in addition to any other remedies or relief afforded by law, Purchaser may seek a preliminary and permanent injunction against an actual or threatened violation or violations to be issued against Seller without showing actual monetary damages or posting of a bond or other security.  In the event of a dispute regarding or an action to enforce the covenants in this Section 6.2, Purchaser, the prevailing Party and 

Membership Interest Purchase Agreement        Page 37 of 71
Vaden Landers, Singular Payments, LLC, and Payment Data Systems, Inc.
