ARTICLE II.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ACQUIRED SECURITIES

Section 2.01 Purchase and Sale of Acquired Securities.

	(a)	Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and accept from the Seller, the Acquired Securities, free and clear of any and all Liens.

	(b)	The aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Securities is One Dollars ($1.00) (the “Purchase Price”) which shall be paid on the Closing Date, and subject to adjustment for any federal, state or local taxes due and owing by Company or Seller, which shall be prorated and addressed in the same manner and timing as set forth in Section 2.02.

Section 2.02. Working Capital Adjustment. In determining the Purchase Price hereunder, the Parties have assumed that, as of the Commencement Date, Company will have on hand Working Capital in an amount equal to Zero Dollars ($0.00) of Working Capital (the “Target Working Capital”). The Parties have agreed upon the following procedure to decrease or increase the Purchase Price (the “Working Capital Adjustment”) in the event Company’s actual Working Capital as of the Commencement Date (“Actual Working Capital”) varies from the Target Working Capital. As used herein, “Working Capital” shall be calculated from the input values at the end of the business day on the day prior to the Commencement Date, as the value of all liquid assets (including cash, accounts receivable, pre-paid license fees, pre-paid insurance premiums, and pre-paid taxes [sales and income]) minus the value of all liquid liabilities (including accounts payable, taxes due [sales and income]).

	(a)	Following the execution of this Agreement by both Parties, Seller shall provide a statement of financial position, which includes, without limitation, an accurate balance sheet reflecting Company’s Actual Working Capital, and Seller’s good faith calculations reflecting the Working Capital Adjustment (if any) (the “Statement of Financial Position”). Buyer agrees and acknowledges that the Statement of Financial Position may take up to a year or more following the Closing Date to be determined as it will involve income tax calculations that depend on full-tax-year inputs to properly pro-rate income taxes due by Company up to the execution date of this Agreement.

	(b)	Upon receipt of the Statement of Financial Position, Buyer shall review same for accuracy. No later than sixty (60) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Statement of Financial Position, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller an adjusted Statement of Financial Position, which shall include, without limitation, an adjusted balance sheet reflecting Buyer’s good faith determination of Company’s Actual Working Capital and Buyer’s good faith calculations reflecting the Working Capital Adjustment (if any). Failure to deliver such adjusted Statement of Financial Position within such sixty (60) day period shall be Buyer’s acceptance of the Statement of Financial Position and an irrevocable waiver of any right to object thereto.

	(c)	The Seller shall have thirty (30) days following the Seller’s receipt of the adjusted Statement of Financial Position to deliver to Buyer any objections. Failure to deliver such notice within such thirty (30) day period, shall be deemed to be Seller’s acceptance thereof and irrevocable waiver of any right to object thereto. If Seller timely deliver such written objections (a “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice specifies in reasonable detail the nature and dollar amount of any disagreement so asserted (collectively, the “Disputed Items”), then, during the fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of a Dispute Notice, Buyer and Seller shall diligently attempt to resolve in writing the Disputed Items. Any Disputed Item resolved in writing by Buyer and Seller will be deemed final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and the Seller.

	(d)	In the event that Buyer and Seller do not reach an agreement on all of the Disputed Items during such fifteen (15) day period (or such longer period as they shall mutually agree), then, at the end of such period, Buyer and Seller shall submit all unresolved Disputed Items (collectively, the “Unresolved Items”) to an accounting firm mutually acceptable to the Parties (“Accounting Referee”) to review and resolve such matters. The Accounting Referee’s determination of the Unresolved Items shall be final, binding and conclusive on Buyer and the Seller, absent manifest errors on all parties, and enforceable before a Governmental Authority, effective as of the date the Accounting Referee’s written determination is received by Buyer and Seller. Each of Buyer and the Seller will bear their own legal, accounting and other fees and expenses of participating in such dispute resolution procedure. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller.

	(e)	Upon final determination that the Actual Working Capital is less than the Target Working Capital (the actual amount, the “Shortfall Amount”), then Seller shall pay such Shortfall Amount to Buyer.

	(f)	Upon final determination that the Actual Working Capital is equal to or exceeds the Target Working Capital (the actual amount, the “Excess Amount”), then Buyer shall pay the Excess Amount to Seller via wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Section 2.03 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the sale and purchase of the Acquired Securities shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held remotely via the electronic exchange of counterpart signature pages no later than two (2) Business Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date), or in such other manner or at such other time or date as the Parties may mutually agree upon in writing (in either case, the “Closing Date”).

Section 2.04 Closing Deliveries by Company and the Seller. At the Closing, Company and the Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer the following:

	(a)	written evidence of CRA Approval of the Transaction;

	(b)	A stock assignment, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer as required for the same to be transferred to the ownership of the Buyer;

	(c)	such other certificates, documents, schedules, agreements, resolutions, consents, approvals, rulings or other instruments required by this Agreement to be so delivered at or prior to the Closing together with such other items as may be reasonably requested by Buyer in order to effectuate or evidence the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 2.05 Closing Deliveries by the Buyer. At the Closing, Buyer shall deliver or cause to be delivered the following:

	(a)	delivery of the Purchase Price;

	(b)	executed counterparts of each of the Ancillary Agreements (as applicable);

	(c)	a certificate from a duly authorized officer of Buyer, dated as of the Closing, (i) certifying and attaching true and complete copies of the resolutions duly and validly adopted by the managers of Buyer authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; and (ii) certifying that the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied and that the statements therein are true and correct; and

Section 2.06 Conveyance Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and Transaction (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be solely borne and paid by Buyer when due. Buyer shall, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Seller shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

Section 2.07 Withholding Tax. Buyer and Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price such amounts that Buyer and Company may be required to deduct and withhold under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such withheld or deducted amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Seller.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Buyer, the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder and thereunder and the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action on the part of Buyer. This Agreement has been, and upon their execution the Ancillary Agreements to which Buyer is a party shall have been, duly executed and delivered by Buyer, and (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by each other party hereto and thereto) this Agreement constitutes, and upon their execution the Ancillary Agreements shall constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their respective terms except to the extent enforcement may be affected by Laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, creditors’ rights and by the availability of injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies.

Section 5.02 No Conflict.

To this effect, they shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interests, attempt to reach a just and equitable resolution satisfactory to the parties. If the claim cannot be settled through negotiation within a period of seven (7) days, the parties agree to attempt in good faith to settle the claim through mediation, administered by a mediator mutually agreeable to the parties, before resorting to arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may apply to the state courts located Wayne County, Michigan for a provisional remedy, including but not limited to a temporary restraining order or a preliminary injunction.

In no event shall a Claim be adjudicated in Federal District Court. In the event that either party commences a lawsuit in Federal District Court or moves to remove such action to Federal District Court, the parties hereby mutually agree to stipulate to a dismissal of such Federal action with prejudice.

Every right and remedy provided herein shall be cumulative with every other right and remedy, whether conferred herein, at law, or in equity, and may be enforced concurrently herewith, and no waiver by any party of the performance of any obligation by the other shall be construed as a waiver of the same or any other default then, theretofore, or thereafter occurring or existing.
