SECTION 1.03 ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PRICE. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders the sums (in addition to the Purchase Price) set forth below (the "ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PRICE"): (a) BOOK VALUE PAYMENT. At the Closing, Buyer may elect to (i) pay to the Stockholders at the Closing that amount equal to Global's estimated net tangible book value as determined in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP") as of the Closing Date (the "ESTIMATED TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE") or (ii) pay the amount equal to the Actual Tangible Book Value (as defined below) in accordance with Section 1.04(a) below, to the Stockholders on the Book Value Payment Date (as defined below. The accounting policies set forth on SCHEDULE 1.03(A) (the "ACCOUNTING POLICIES") shall govern, to the extent applicable, the calculation of the Estimated Tangible Book Value. Such amount shall be payable by certified or bank check or wire transfer (the "BOOK VALUE PAYMENT"). (b) EBIT PAYMENT. In the event that earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") of the Business as of the Closing Date (x) for the twelve months commencing on March 1, 1998 and ending February 28, 1999 (as determined in accordance with US GAAP) exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000 CAN), the Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders, Five Dollars ($5.00 CAN) for each dollar in excess of such One Million Dollars ($1,000,000 CAN) (the "INITIAL EBIT PAYMENT") and (y) for the six months commencing on March 1, 1999 and ending on August 31, 1999 (as determined in accordance with US GAAP) exceed Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000 CAN), the Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders Two Dollars ($2.00) for every One Dollar ($1.00 CAN) in excess of such Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($650,000 CAN) up to a maximum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000 CAN) (the "SECOND EBIT PAYMENT" and together with the Initial EBIT Payment, the "EBIT PAYMENTS" and each individually an "EBIT PAYMENT"). For the purposes of clarification only, the Business as of the Closing Date shall not include (i) any businesses acquired by BridgeStreet or any affiliate thereof subsequent to the Closing Date or (ii) any offices opened by BridgeStreet subsequent to the Closing Date. SECTION 1.04 DETERMINATION OF ADDITIONAL PURCHASE PRICE; ADJUSTMENTS. The Additional Purchase Price shall be determined and adjusted in accordance with the following: (a) ACTUAL TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE. Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Buyer and Vincent shall arrive at Global's actual net tangible book value as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with US GAAP (the "ACTUAL TANGIBLE BOOK VALUE"), and, if they shall be unable to agree by such time, Arthur Andersen shall make such determination. The Accounting -3- 4 Policies shall govern, to the extent applicable, the calculation of the Actual Tangible Book Value. The determination of Arthur Andersen shall be final and binding on the parties and the costs associated with such determination shall be borne equally by the parties. If Buyer elected not to make the Book Value Payment pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above, the amount equal to the Actual Tangible Book Value shall be paid to the Stockholders in accordance with this Section 1.04(a); HOWEVER, in the event that the Actual Tangible Book Value is less than zero (0), the Stockholders shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the deficit. The Stockholders shall be jointly and severally liable for such payment. To the extent that the Estimated Tangible Book Value was paid to the Stockholders at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above and such amount exceeds the Actual Tangible Book Value, such excess shall be repaid by the Stockholders to the Buyer. The Stockholders shall be jointly and severally liable for such payment. To the extent that the Actual Tangible Book Value exceeds the Estimated Book Value and such Estimated Book Value was paid to the Stockholders at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.03(a) above, such excess shall be paid by the Buyer to Vincent on behalf of the Stockholders. Any such payments required to made pursuant to the provisions of this subsection shall be made in Canadian currency and promptly by check or wire transfer, but in any event within ten (10) days following the agreement on or determination of the Actual Tangible Book Value ("THE BOOK VALUE PAYMENT DATE"). (b) DETERMINATION OF EBIT PAYMENTS. For purposes of calculating the EBIT Payments (subject to the agreement of Vincent acting reasonably), if any, the following shall apply, notwithstanding any US GAAP provision to the contrary: (i) The Buyer agrees to operate the Business in good faith, and neither BridgeStreet nor the Buyer will make any material change in the operation of the Business as it exists on the Closing Date the purpose of which is to reduce the EBIT Payments, if any, unless any such change is agreed to by Vincent and the Buyer. Vincent and Buyer agree that Buyer shall employ a Director of Finance and that Vincent shall use his best efforts to hire such Director of Finance as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than June 1, 1998. Vincent and the Buyer agree that all costs associated with the employment of such Director of Finance shall be treated as an expense for the purposes of calculating EBIT. (ii) The books and records of Global and the Business will be kept separate and distinct from those subsidiaries or divisions of BridgeStreet other than the Buyer. If Global is hereafter merged or otherwise combined in any way into or with any other business, or any other business, subsidiary or division of BridgeStreet shall hereafter be added to or consolidated with the Buyer, EBIT -4- 5 shall be calculated as if such merger, combination, addition or consolidation had not been effected. (iii) All reasonable charges incurred by BridgeStreet for services provided or expenses incurred directly on behalf of Global, including, without limitation, credit checking, legal and accounting services, advertising and other general administrative expenses, shall be deducted from EBIT. (iv) All interest income in excess of interest expense incurred (as defined in subsection (viii) below), all capital gains or losses and all gains or losses arising from sales or exchanges of Global's assets other than income or expense arising out of operations in the ordinary course of business of Global shall be deducted from (or added to, in the case of losses) EBIT. (v) All gains from insurance proceeds relating to Global's assets will be deducted from EBIT, except that proceeds of insurance against physical damage to property will be included to the extent, if any, that such proceeds do not exceed the deduction taken in the period on account of the property damaged. Proceeds of insurance in respect of lost business income due to business interruption will be included in EBIT. (vi) Appropriate adjustments will be made to insure that there is no material or substantial upward or downward adjustment of income during any period due to the acceleration or deferral of sales or other income into a period other than that in which same would normally accrue or occur, or due to the acceleration or deferral of any losses, costs or expenses into any period other than that in which same would normally accrue or occur. (vii) During the period commencing on March 1, 1998 and ending on August 31, 1999, a dollar reserve may be set up and deducted from EBIT to cover the amount of any contingent liability which is probable and estimateable including but not limited to any such liability relating to or arising from any legal claim or proceeding, together with a reasonable estimate of the cost of litigating same. After such contingent liability has been fully and finally resolved (with all appeals exhausted) any amounts less than such dollar reserve shall be treated as additional EBIT and payment therefor in accordance with Section 1.03(b) above shall be made to Vincent on behalf of the Stockholders, as promptly as practicable thereafter by company check or wire transfer, at the option of the Buyer. -5- 6 (viii) Interest and other financing payments to BridgeStreet for funds requested by Global (directly or indirectly on behalf of the Business) and advanced by BridgeStreet in its sole discretion will be deducted from EBIT to the extent of BridgeStreet's costs of borrowing (not to exceed 8%), plus BridgeStreet's reasonable cost of carrying any necessary compensating balances, from time to time, and payments to BridgeStreet for guarantees will be deducted from EBIT. (ix) All gains or losses generated by Global that are not related to the operation of the Business, shall be deducted from (or added to, in the case of losses) EBIT. (x) The amount of Canadian goods and services tax paid by Global and for which it does not receive an input tax credit and all provincial sales taxes shall be deducted from EBIT. No corporate income or capital taxes will be deducted from EBIT. (xi) The Accounting Policies shall govern, to the extent applicable, the calculation of the EBIT Payment. (b) TERMINATION OF VINCENT'S EMPLOYMENT. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event that (i) Vincent's employment by the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement (as defined below) is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) by the Buyer or voluntarily by Vincent on or prior to April 28, 1999, no EBIT Payments shall be made to the Stockholders or (ii) Vincent's employment by the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement is terminated for Cause by the Buyer or voluntarily by Vincent after April 28, 1999 but on or prior to August 31, 1999, no Second EBIT Payment shall be made to the Stockholders. In the event that Vincent's employment by the Buyer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement is terminated without Cause by Buyer or due to Vincent's death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement) at any time on or prior to August 31, 1999, the EBIT Payments, if any, shall be made to the Stockholders in accordance with the provisions hereof. SECTION 1.05 PAYMENT OF EBIT PAYMENTS; DISPUTES. The Buyer shall deliver to Vincent an accounting of (i) the Initial EBIT Payment no later than April 1, 1999 and (ii) the Second EBIT Payment no later than October 1, 1999 (in either case an "EBIT PAYMENT NOTICE"). In the -6- 7 event Vincent disputes either such accounting, he shall deliver written notice thereof (the "EBIT DISPUTE NOTICE") to the Buyer within ten (10) business days of his receipt of the EBIT Payment Notice. If the Buyer and Vincent are unable to agree on the amount of an EBIT Payment within ten (10) business days of Buyer's receipt of the EBIT Dispute Notice, each of Buyer and Vincent shall submit their respective calculation of such EBIT Payment to Arthur Andersen and Arthur Andersen shall determine the amount of such EBIT Payment. The determination of Arthur Andersen shall be final and binding on the parties and the costs associated with such determination shall be borne by the party whose calculation of such EBIT Payment differs most from Arthur Andersen's calculation of such EBIT Payment. The Initial EBIT Payment, if any, required to be made pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.04(b) shall be made by the Buyer to Vincent on behalf of the Stockholders by check or wire transfer as Vincent may direct no later than May 1, 1999 if Vincent fails to deliver an EBIT Dispute Notice, or if Vincent delivers an EBIT Dispute Notice as promptly as practicable but in any event within ten (10) business days following the agreement or determination of the EBIT Payment. The Second EBIT Payment, if any, required to be made pursuant to Section 1.04 (b) shall be made by Buyer to Vincent on behalf of the Stockholders by check or wire transfer as Vincent may direct no later than November 1, 1999 if Vincent fails to deliver an EBIT Dispute Notice, or if Vincent delivers an EBIT Dispute Notice as promptly as practicable but in any event within ten (10) business days following the agreement or determination of the Second EBIT Payment. Vincent and his legal and financial advisors shall have access to all financial records of Global material to the calculation of the EBIT Payments during normal business hours upon at least 24 hours prior notice to Buyer.
