7
2.3 Payment of the Purchase Price.

Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made as follows:

2.3.1 Closing Payment

The Purchase Price shall be paid and satisfied at Closing as follows:
 
 
(i)
the Purchaser shall pay to the Vendor the amount of Two Million One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($2,125,000.00) in immediately available funds by wire transfer; and to such account(s) as shall be designated by the Vendor prior to the Closing Date.
 
2.3.2 Working Capital Adjustment  

(a)
The working capital of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Working Capital”) shall be calculated as follows:

Working Capital = (A) - (B)
Where (A) shall mean all cash or cash equivalents, accounts receivable (less allowance for bad debts or account conversion), prepaid expenses, tax refunds, inventory (without any write downs) and other current assets; and
 
Where (B) shall mean all trade accounts payable, accrued payroll and related expenses and other current liabilities;
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties agree that the Working Capital shall not take into account the following items:

 
(i)
all inter-company receivables, financials and payables, including all accrued management fees payable by the Company to the Purchaser, if any;
 
(ii)
a painting valued at approximately $29,000; and

the cash surrender value of an insurance policy on the life of Mr. Raynald Henry;

The parties further acknowledge and agree that the Working Capital shall be calculated in the same manner as the example attached to the present Agreement as Schedule 2.3.2(a)(i), in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the historical practices of the Company in prior fiscal years and using the specified ledger accounts of the Company as set forth on Schedule 2.3.2(a)(ii) hereof as well as any new accounts of the same nature or relevant thereto which may have been created prior to Closing. For the avoidance of doubt each account set forth on Schedule 2.3.2(ii) as well as any new accounts of the same nature or relevant thereto which may have been created prior to Closing shall be deemed to have been incorporated into Schedule 2.3.2(a)(i) for the purposes of the Working Capital calculation.

All of the asset and liability accounts of the Company as of the Closing Date are listed on Schedule 2.3.2(b) annexed hereto.

(b)
The Purchaser shall instruct the Company’s accountants, Boucher Champagne Thiffault, s.e.n.c.r.l. (“BCT”), to prepare and deliver to the Vendor and the Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, financial statements of the Company for the period ending on the Closing Date, prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with prior fiscal years, together with a statement setting out the Working Capital of the Company as at the close of business on the Closing Date (collectively, the “Closing Statements”). The Vendor shall pay the costs of preparing the Closing Statements up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $5,000 with the Vendor and the Purchaser each paying one half of any excess of such amount, it being understood that the Purchaser shall not pay any costs exceeding the amount of $1,500. The Vendor and the Purchaser shall reasonably co-operate fully with each other in the preparation of the Closing Statements.

(c)
The parties shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Closing Statements within which to review and discuss the Closing Statements (the “Review Period”). During that time, the Parties will provide access, upon reasonable request, to all work papers of the Company and its advisors, accounting books and records and the appropriate personnel to verify the accuracy, presentation and other matters relating to the preparation of the Closing Statements. Subject to and without affecting the provisions hereof and the contestation procedure as set out below, either party may at its sole cost and expense have its own accountants, employees and/or representatives review the Closing Statements and prepare financial statements of the Company in the form as may be required by any Governmental Entity. If at the end of the Review Period the Vendor and the Purchaser are unable to agree on the Closing Statements, the Parties shall refer the determination of the Working Capital to Deloitte Touche, a firm of chartered accountants situated in the Province of Quebec (the “Independent Accountant”). The Independent Accountant is deemed to be acting as an expert and not an arbitrator. The Independent Accountant shall be requested to deliver its determination of the Working Capital within twenty (20) Business Days following referral of the matter to the Independent Accountant and the decision of the Independent Accountant as to the Working Capital shall be final and binding on all Parties, save and except in the case of a manifest error. The Purchaser and the Vendor shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant.

An Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall, with respect to Claims asserted against such party by any third party, give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of any liability which might give rise to a Claim for indemnity under this Agreement as soon as is reasonably practicable; provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any rights of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its election, to take over the defence or settlement of such Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party at least ten (10) days prior to the time when an answer or other responsive pleading or notice with respect thereto is required. In the event the Indemnifying Party elects and diligently contests or defends any such Claim in good faith, the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for the fees of separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not settle any such Claim without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

In no event shall the aggregate liability of the Vendor for all obligations under this Agreement exceed fifty percent (50%) of the Purchase Price.

23
6.2 No Waiver.
