          (c) On the fifth Business Day prior to the Closing Date (the “Working Capital Settlement Date”), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a statement setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the aggregate outstanding accounts receivable of the Business as conducted by Seller (net of any reserve for bad debts, which bad debts shall be reflected on the Working Capital Statement (as defined below)), cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date) and outstanding accounts payable of the Business as conducted by Seller, in each case, as of the Closing Date (the “Working Capital Statement”). The Working Capital Statement shall be prepared by Seller in accordance with GAAP. At Closing, (i) the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the aggregate amount of the accounts payable reflected on the Working Capital Statement over (y) the sum of the aggregate amount of the accounts receivable (net of any reserve for bad debts reflected on such statement) and cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date), in each case, reflected on the Working Capital Statement, plus a fixed amount of $867,500 or (ii) the Purchase Price shall be increased by an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the sum of the aggregate amount of the accounts receivable (net of any reserve for bad debts reflected on such statement) and cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date), in each case, reflected on the Working Capital Statement, plus a fixed amount of $867,500 over (y) the aggregate amount of the accounts payable reflected on the Working Capital Statement, as applicable. Within six (6) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Purchaser a written report (the “Supplemental Working Capital Report”) setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the amount of outstanding accounts

13


 

receivable (net of any reserve for bad debts, which bad debts shall be reflected on such report), cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date) and accounts payable of the Business as of the Closing Date.
          (d) Seller shall allow Purchaser and its representatives access at reasonable times after the Closing Date to the books and records of Seller related to the Business and to Seller’s financial employees and accountants involved in the preparation of the Working Capital Statement and the Supplemental Working Capital Report in order to allow Purchaser to examine and determine the accuracy of the Working Capital Statement and the Supplemental Working Capital Report. Within thirty (30) days after Seller furnishes Purchaser with the necessary books and records including its accountants’ work papers, Purchaser shall complete its examination thereof and may deliver to Seller a written report setting forth any proposed adjustments to the Working Capital Statement and Supplemental Working Capital Report (“Purchaser’s Dispute Report”). If Purchaser notifies Seller of its acceptance of the Working Capital Statement and Supplemental Working Capital Report, or if the Purchaser fails to deliver a report of proposed adjustments to the Working Capital Statement or Supplemental Working Capital Report within the thirty (30) day period specified in the preceding sentence, the Working Capital Statement and Supplemental Working Capital Report shall be conclusive and binding on the parties as of the last day of such thirty (30) day period. Purchaser and Seller shall use good faith efforts to resolve any dispute as to the Working Capital Statement and Supplemental Working Capital Report (each a “Disputed Matter”), and any resolution between them as to a Disputed Matter shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto. If, after thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller of Purchaser’s Dispute Report, Purchaser and Seller are unable to resolve any Disputed Matter, such Disputed Matter shall promptly be referred to Ernst & Young LLP or another independent accounting firm for resolution. The independent accounting firm shall be instructed to conduct a review of the Working Capital Statement and Supplemental Working Capital Report and to use every reasonable effort to make its determination with respect to such Disputed Matter (the “Determination”) within sixty (60) days of the submission to the independent accounting firm of such Disputed Matter. Seller shall give the independent accounting firm access at all reasonable times to the books, records, accounts and work papers used to prepare the Working Capital Statement and Supplemental Working Capital Report and to Seller’s financial employees and accountants involved in the preparation of the Working Capital Statement. After completing the Determination, the independent accounting firm shall deliver notice of the Determination to Purchaser and Seller and upon receipt thereof, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, the Determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties hereto with respect to such Disputed Matter. The final determination of the aggregate accounts receivable (net of any reserve for bad debts), cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date) and accounts payable of the Business as of the Closing Date shall be the aggregate accounts receivable (net of any reserve for bad debts reflected on the Working Capital Statement), cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date) and accounts payable of the Business set forth in the Working Capital Statement as adjusted by any disputes resolved by the parties and by the independent accounting firm’s Determination, if any, and such final adjusted amounts will be set forth in a final working capital statement (the “Final Working Capital Statement”). The “Final Working Capital” shall be the difference between (x) the sum of the face amount of the accounts receivable (net of any reserve for bad debts reflected on the Final Working Capital Statement) and cash on hand (excluding all cash held in or for use

14


 

in any of the ATMs owned or operated by Seller as of the Closing Date), in each case, reflected on the Final Working Capital Statement, plus a fixed amount of $867,500 and (y) the face amount of any accounts payable reflected thereon. The costs of hiring such independent accounting firm will be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser
          (e) Within ten (10) days after the determination of the Final Working Capital in accordance with Section 3.2(d), Seller or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall make a cash true-up payment to the other so that, after giving effect to such payment, Seller and Purchaser are in the same position they would have been had such final amounts been known at the Closing and had the payment made under Section 3.2(c) been made based on the Final Working Capital amounts rather than an estimated amount.
          (f) Any payment due to a party pursuant to this Section 3.2(f) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the party entitled to such payment, and the party entitled to such payment shall provide written wire instructions to the paying party for such account at least three (3) days prior to the date of payment. Payments made hereunder shall also bear interest calculated at the federal funds rate in effect at the time of payment.

deterioration in the relationship of any of the Seller or its Affiliates with any material customer, supplier, distributor or sales representative thereof; and
     (vi) there has not been any action that, if such action were to have been taken after the date of this Agreement, would constitute a breach of any of the provisions of Section 5.2.
          (f) Financial and Operating Data. Seller has delivered to Purchaser true and complete copies of the following financial statements (collectively, the “Financial Statements”), which Financial Statements are attached to Schedule 4.1(f)(i): (i) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Business as of December 31, 2003 and the related unaudited consolidated income statement of the Business for the 12-month period then ended and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Business as of March 31, 2004 (the “Latest Balance Sheet Date”) and the related unaudited consolidated income statement of the Business for the three-month period then ended (the “Interim Financial Statements”).

The Operating Data present fairly, accurately and completely the information purported to be contained therein. Since the Latest Balance Sheet Date, the Business has incurred no obligations or liabilities of any nature whatsoever (direct or indirect, matured or unmatured, absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) required to be reflected on the face (as opposed to footnotes) of a balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, except for Liabilities described on Schedule 4.1(f)(ii).
          (g) Sufficiency of Assets. The Transferred Assets constitute all of the assets, other than the Excluded Assets, used by Seller in or held for use by Seller, or by any Affiliate of Seller, in the operation of the Business as conducted by Seller or any Affiliate thereof since December 31, 2003, subject to changes to the Transferred Assets as a result of the operation of the Business in the ordinary course of business.

          (i) Title to Properties; Encumbrances. Seller has good, valid and marketable title to or a valid leasehold interest in, or is licensed or otherwise entitled to use, all of the Transferred Assets, free and clear of all Liens.

          (j) Permits. Schedule 4.1(j) lists all permits, licenses, certificates, authorizations and approvals granted by any Person to Seller in connection with the operation of the Business or the ownership or use of the Transferred Assets (each, a “Scheduled Permit”).

          (l) Litigation. Except as listed on Schedule 4.1(l) hereto, as of the date hereof, there are no actions, suits, demands or claims, or legal, administrative or arbitral proceedings, hearings or investigations pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against or involving the Business or any of the Transferred Assets, or that are reasonably likely to affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

          (m) Contracts. Seller has provided Purchaser with true and complete copies of each Transferred Contract. To the knowledge of Seller, (i) Schedule B lists the location, on an ATM by ATM basis, of the Transferred ATM Equipment and (ii) Schedule C lists all of the Transferred Vendor Contracts. A Transferred ATM Management Agreement covers all of the ATMs listed on Schedule A or Schedule B.

18


 

as set forth on Schedule 4.1(m)(i), to Seller’s Knowledge, any other party thereto is in default in any material respect under the terms of any such Transferred Contract. None of the Transferred Contracts is (A) a Contract between Seller and, on the other hand, any Affiliate of Seller or any present or former director, officer or employee of Seller or any Affiliate of Seller or (B) a partnership, joint venture or profit sharing agreement. Except as described on Schedule 4.1(m)(ii) hereto, none of the Transferred Contracts imposes any non-compete, exclusivity or similar restrictions on Seller or any Affiliate thereof and, following the Closing, except for the restrictions set forth in Section 17 of the Target Agreement, none of the Transferred Contracts shall impose any non-compete, exclusivity or similar restrictions on Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof. No consent is required under the Target Agreement to validly assign Seller’s rights thereunder to Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement. None of the other Key ATM Management Agreements requires consent to validly assign same to Purchaser except for consents that have been obtained as of the date of this Agreement or, subject to Purchaser’s obligation to assist Seller pursuant to Section 5.4, that will be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date.

     (ii) Except as listed on Schedule 4.1(n) hereto, (A) Seller has not received any written notice from any Governmental Authority of any violation of any material Requirement of Law with respect to the Transferred Assets, which notice is still outstanding and unresolved, and, to Seller’s Knowledge, Seller is not under investigation by any Governmental Authority with respect to any such material violation, and (B) Seller is not subject to any capital plan or supervisory agreement, order or memorandum between it and any Governmental Authority.
          (o) No Brokers or Finders. The Assumed Liabilities do not include any liability incurred by Seller or its Affiliates for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees directly or indirectly in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Ancillary Agreements.

          (p) Taxes. Except as listed on Schedule 4.1(p) hereto, Seller has filed or caused to be filed all Tax Returns and all reports with respect to Taxes that are or were required to be filed for all periods prior to the Closing Date. All Tax Returns and reports filed by Seller are true and correct in all material respects. Seller has paid, or made provision for the payment of, all Taxes that have or may have become due for all periods covered by the Tax Returns or otherwise, or pursuant to any assessment received by Seller. Seller currently is not the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return. There are no legal, administrative or tax proceedings pursuant to which Seller is or could be made liable for any taxes, penalties, interest or other charges, the liability of which could extend to Purchaser as

19


 

transferee of the Transferred Assets, and, no event has occurred that could impose on Purchaser any transferee liability for any taxes, penalties or interest due or to become due from Seller. There are no Tax liens on any Transferred Assets. None of the Transferred Assets is held in an arrangement that could be classified as a partnership for Tax purposes. No claim has ever been made by a Governmental Authority in a jurisdiction in which Seller does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be required to file a Tax Return in that jurisdiction with respect to any of the Transferred Assets. None of the Transferred Assets is “tax-exempt use property” (within the meaning of section 168(h) of the Code) or “tax-exempt bond financed property” (within the meaning of section 168(g)(5) of the Code).
          SECTION 4.2. Representations and Acknowledgements of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

Assuming that this Agreement has been, and the Ancillary Agreements will be on or prior to the Closing, duly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller, this Agreement is, and the Ancillary Agreements will be at the Closing, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Purchaser, enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with their respective terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization, fraudulent transfer and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles.
          (c) Governmental and Third-Party Consents. No notices, reports or other filings are required to be made by Purchaser or any of its Affiliates with, nor are any consents, registrations, approvals, permits or authorizations required to be obtained by any of them from, any Governmental Authority or any other third party in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by Purchaser or the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements.

Purchaser has sufficient cash, available lines of credit or other sources of immediately available funds or written commitments for the foregoing to enable it to pay the Purchase Price and all other amounts due under Section 3.2 (all in full) and to timely pay any other amounts to be paid by it under this Agreement. Purchaser is not subject to any capital plan or supervisory agreement, order or memorandum between it and any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over it that could reasonably be expected to affect its ability to consummate the purchase of the Transferred Assets from Seller and fulfill its obligations under this Agreement. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, including Purchaser’s payment of the Purchase Price and all other amounts due under Section 3.2 (all in full), will not render Purchaser insolvent or otherwise jeopardize the Purchaser’s ability to pay its debts as they come due in the normal course.
          (g) Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or claims pending, in arbitration or before any Governmental Authority, against Purchaser or any of its assets that could be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

          SECTION 5.2. Certain Changes. Without limiting Section 5.1, and except as otherwise contemplated hereby, Seller agrees that, from the date hereof until the Closing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) Seller will not:

Purchaser acknowledges that certain of Seller’s book and records may be incomplete or inaccessible and certain of Seller’s former employees may be inaccessible, in each case, as a result of the transfer of a portion of the Business from Portland, Oregon.
          (c) If this Agreement is terminated, each party hereto, at its own expense, will promptly deliver to the other party (without retaining any copies), or (at the other party’s option) certify in writing to the other party that it has completely destroyed, all Confidential Information furnished to such party or its representatives by the other party or any of its agents, employees or representatives in connection with this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, and all analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by such party or its representatives that contain or reflect any such information. Each party hereto will cause any Confidential Information so obtained to be kept confidential and will not use, or permit the use of, such information in its business or in any other manner or for any other purpose except as contemplated by this Agreement.
          (d) For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary information supplied by Seller to Purchaser or by Purchaser to Seller. The parties agree that Confidential Information shall not include the following: (i) information that is already known to the receiving party at the time it is obtained from the providing party; (ii) information that is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (iii) information that is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without restriction and without breach of this Agreement; or (iv) information that is independently developed by the receiving party without any confidential information of the other party. The party receiving the Confidential Information shall keep, and shall require its employees, agents, representatives and consultants who are given access to Confidential Information to regard and preserve, all such information in trust and confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to any third party or use Confidential Information for any purpose, except (i) as expressly permitted in writing by the providing party, (ii) to perform and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) as required by law, rule or regulation including any applicable stock exchange listing agreement or similar arrangement or obligation. Disclosure of Confidential Information to the employees, agents, representatives or consultants of the party receiving such information, or to any other party permitted under this Agreement, shall be on a need-to-know basis only. The receiving party shall bear responsibility for any breach of the obligations in this Section 5.3 by its representatives.
          (e) Seller shall be entitled to specific performance of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3, in addition to any other remedies Seller may have at law or in equity.

          SECTION 5.4. Third-Party Consents.
          (a) Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain each consent needed to assign to Purchaser at the Closing each Transferred ATM Management Agreement, each Transferred Vendor Contract and each Dealer Agreement. To the extent that any such consents have not been obtained as of the Closing, this Agreement and any document delivered pursuant hereto will not constitute an assignment or attempted assignment thereof if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a material breach of such Transferred ATM Management Agreement, Transferred Vendor Contract or Dealer Agreement or would give rise to a valid right of termination thereof. If any such third-party consent will not be obtained on or prior to the Closing Date, then the parties will cooperate in entering into any reasonably practicable alternative arrangements at the Closing Date as Purchaser may reasonably request pursuant to which Purchaser would obtain all of the benefits and assume all of the obligations under such Transferred ATM Management Agreement, Transferred Vendor Contract or Dealer Agreement, as applicable, and if such alternative arrangements shall, by their terms, provide Purchaser with substantially all of the benefits of the applicable Transferred ATM Management Agreement, Transferred Vendor Contract or Dealer Agreement, such Transferred ATM Management Agreement, Transferred Vendor Contract or Dealer Agreement, as the case may be, shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to be a Contract as to which consent of the applicable counterparty has been obtained for the assignment of such Contract to Purchaser; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 5.4 shall obligate Seller to maintain its operations, refrain from liquidation or winding down or otherwise preserve its status as a legal entity; provided, further, that no such deemed consent shall be effective, or relieve Seller of its obligations under this Agreement, with respect to the Key ATM Management Agreements.
          (b) Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Customer Documentation with respect to each Transferred ATM Management Agreement that is transferred to Purchaser to be delivered to Purchaser or its designated agent to the extent such information may be conveyed in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and Seller’s contractual rights. Purchaser acknowledges that as of the date of this Agreement Seller may not have the contractual right to cause certain Customer Documentation to be so delivered. Seller will use its reasonable best efforts (which for purposes of this Section 5.4(b) will not require payment of any money or undertaking of any other financial obligations by Seller other than payment of legal, accounting and similar expenses incidental to its obligations hereunder to the extent such expenses in the aggregate are immaterial in amount) to induce the parties who have the contractual right to refuse such delivery to permit the delivery of such information to Purchaser pursuant to this paragraph (b), but will have no liability to Purchaser, either pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, if Seller is unable to obtain such consents to transfer and delivery despite its reasonable best efforts to obtain the same.
          (c) Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate with and assist Seller in connection with all matters covered by this Section 5.4, including Purchaser’s entering into a licensing agreement, at no cost to Purchaser, for use of the Retained Names and Marks in connection with the Key ATM Management Agreements (the “Licensing Agreement”) in the case such Licensing Agreement is necessary to obtain the consent of the Customers who are parties to such Key ATM Management Agreements. Seller hereby agrees to enter into any such Licensing Agreement necessary to obtain such consent at no cost to Purchaser for a period not to

25


 

exceed the longer of 36 months or the duration of Seller’s existing obligation under each such Key ATM Management Agreement, as in effect as of the date hereof, and on other terms usual and customary for such usage, which terms shall be at least as permissive as the terms included in the applicable Key ATM Management Agreement, and including restrictions on use as determined by Seller in its sole judgment, which restrictions, in any case, shall be no more restrictive than those contained in the applicable Key ATM Management Agreement.
          (d) Seller and E*TRADE Bank, jointly and severally, covenant to obtain, prior to June 9, 2004, the consent necessary to satisfy the closing condition described in Section 6.1(d). If Seller and E*TRADE Bank fail to obtain such consent by June 9, 2004, Seller and E*TRADE Bank shall be jointly and severally liable for the same damages Seller would have been liable for had all of the closing conditions been satisfied and Seller willfully refused to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
          SECTION 5.5. Reasonable Efforts; Other Filings.
          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of Seller and Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Requirements of Law, so as to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable and otherwise to enable consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and will cooperate fully to that end. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in all reasonable respects to prepare, negotiate and finalize the Interim Servicing Agreement by June 15, 2004.
          (b) Without limiting Section 5.5(a), Seller and Purchaser each agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to prepare all documentation, to effect all filings and to obtain all permits, consents, approvals and authorizations of all Governmental Authorities, including the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in all reasonable respects to make all necessary filings under the HSR Act within five (5) days of the date hereof and to seek expedited treatment for such filings under the HSR Act. Purchaser and Seller will bear equally all filing fees due under the HSR Act. Each of Seller and Purchaser agree to consult with the other with respect to the obtaining of such permits, consents, approvals and authorizations and to keep the other apprised of the status thereof. Nothing in this Agreement shall require Purchaser to divest of any assets currently owned by it in connection with obtaining the termination or early expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act.
          SECTION 5.6. Additional Instruments. At the reasonable request of Seller or Purchaser, the other party will promptly execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the requesting party such assignments, bills of sale, assumption agreements, consents and other similar instruments in addition to those required by this Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the requesting party, as may be reasonably necessary to carry out or implement any provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement.

26


 

          SECTION 5.7. Tax Matters. In the event that any excise, sales, use, stamp, documentary and transfer taxes or any similar fees and charges become payable as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Transfer Taxes”), Purchaser and Seller shall bear such taxes equally. Purchaser and Seller agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, promptly upon reasonable request, any information and assistance relating to the Transferred Assets as the requesting party deems reasonably necessary in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns relating to the Transfer Taxes and the preparation for any related audit by any Taxing authority, the response to any related inquiry by a Taxing authority, the mailing or filing of any notice and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any of such Tax Returns. Seller shall timely prepare, and timely furnish to Purchaser, a draft of any Tax Return covering any of the Transfer Taxes, and Seller and Purchaser will mutually agree on the final form and content of any such Tax Return.
          SECTION 5.8. Transition; Use of Name.
          (a) Seller shall not take any action that is designed or intended to have the effect of discouraging any lessor, licensor, Customer, Dealer, supplier or other business associate of Seller from maintaining the same business relationships with Purchaser after the Closing as it maintained with Seller prior to the Closing. From and after the Closing, Seller will refer to Purchaser all Customer inquiries in relation to the Transferred Assets that have been transferred to Purchaser.
          (b) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, no interest in or right of any nature to use the names “E*TRADE,” “E*TRADE Access,” “E*TRADE FINANCIAL” or “ET” or any confusingly similar derivation or modification thereof or any trademark, servicemark, trade dress, logo, domain name or URL (universal resource locator) associated therewith (collectively, the “Retained Names and Marks”) is being transferred to the Purchaser pursuant to the transactions contemplated hereby. Purchaser shall in no case be entitled to use any of the Retained Names and Marks for any purpose whatsoever other than permitting Seller or E*TRADE Bank to maintain the brands “E*TRADE,” or “E*TRADE FINANCIAL” (the “Brands” or each a “Brand”) on the ATMs transferred as part of the Transferred Assets on the terms provided below.
          (c) Promptly after the Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into a exclusive branding rights agreement pursuant to which Seller is permitted to maintain the Brands on the ATMs included in the Transferred Assets for two (2) years from the Closing Date at no cost to Purchaser or Seller, but subject, however, to any changes required by a customer. Such agreement shall contain other mutually agreeable terms, including, to the extent agreed upon, branding arrangements with respect to other portions of Purchaser’s ATM portfolio. During the two (2) year period following the Closing Date, all retail customers of Seller, E*TRADE Bank and its Affiliates (in their capacities as retail customers) shall be entitled to use, consistent with past usage, the ATMs included in the Transferred Assets free of any surcharge or similar transaction fee, and Purchaser shall take all actions necessary to ensure that such customers have such usage rights.
          (d) Purchaser shall take no actions that may reasonably be expected to in any manner diminish the value of the Retained Names and Marks or the Brands. Without limiting

27


 

the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser agrees that it shall not alter any signage or marketing materials bearing the Retained Names and Marks or the Brands in any way whatsoever and, except as provided above, shall not use such materials in any geographic location other than in those specific placement sites in which the ATMs are located as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall consult with Seller or E*TRADE Bank prior to taking any action with respect to use of the Retained Names and Marks, the Brands or any signage or marketing materials upon which they appear.
          (e) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Retained Names and Marks and the Brands, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations under this Section 5.8, that any breach of the provisions of Section 5.8 may result in irreparable harm to Seller and E*TRADE Bank and its Affiliates, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Seller and E*TRADE Bank and its Affiliates shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law and to be indemnified by the Purchaser from any loss or harm, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, in connection with any breach or enforcement of the Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.
          SECTION 5.9. Cooperation. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause their respective obligations hereunder to be fulfilled, and the closing conditions satisfied, prior to June 30, 2004. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the event of any dispute or litigation between the parties or between one of the parties and a third party involving the Transferred Assets or Assumed Liabilities, including providing reasonable access to the other party’s books and records and other relevant information relating to the Transferred Assets and Assumed Liabilities.
          SECTION 5.10. Non-Compete.
          (a) From and after the Closing until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller and E*TRADE Bank (collectively, the “E*TRADE Companies”) shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates (such Affiliates, together with the E*TRADE Companies, are referred to as the “E*TRADE Group” and individually as a “E*TRADE Group Member”) not to, engage in any Competing Business in the United States. The E*TRADE Companies hereby represent and warrant to Purchaser neither of them nor any of their Affiliates presently intend to enter into any Competing Business, and covenants that they shall not, and shall cause their respective Affiliates not to, take any action, directly or indirectly, intended to enable it to avoid its obligations under this Section 5.10. Notwithstanding the foregoing:
     (i) Any E*TRADE Group Member may: (x) acquire any Person whose revenues derived from a Competing Business do not exceed the lesser of (aa) $50 million for the most recent fiscal year ended and (bb) 25% of such Person’s consolidated revenues (determined in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles); provided, that, if such Person was not engaged in a Competing Business prior to such acquisition, such Person shall not engage in any Competing Business following such acquisition or (y) acquire any Person whose revenues derived from a Competing Business exceed either (aa) $50

28


 

million for the most recent fiscal year ended or (bb) 25% of such Person’s consolidated revenues; provided, the E*TRADE Companies shall cause the acquirer of such Competing Business to divest of same within six months after the acquisition of such Competing Business (any acquisition described in the foregoing clause (x) or (y), a “Permitted Acquisition”).
     (ii) The restrictions of this Section 5.10 shall only apply to a E*TRADE Group Member while such member is part of the E*TRADE Group; however, any breach of this Section 5.10 by a E*TRADE Group Member while such member was part of the E*TRADE Group shall continue even after such member is no longer part of the E*TRADE Group.
     (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i), no E*TRADE Group Member shall be permitted to increase the gross revenues or net income of any Competing Business acquired in a Permitted Acquisition.
          (b) The E*TRADE Companies shall not, and shall cause the other E*TRADE Group Members not to, for a period of three years from the Closing Date, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, induce or attempt to induce, in connection with any Competing Business, the customers of the Business conducted by Purchaser at time during such three year period to alter their business arrangements with Purchaser or otherwise obtain any services from any E*TRADE Group Member that relates to the Competing Business, (ii) hire or solicit for employment or cause to be hired or solicited for employment any employee of the Purchaser or any of its respective Affiliates (A) who was an employee of Seller immediately prior to the Closing or (B) who is, at any time during such three year period, an employee of the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, whether or not such employee was employed by Seller immediately prior to the Closing or (iii) induce, persuade or encourage or attempt to induce, persuade or encourage any employee of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (A) who was an employee of Seller immediately prior to the Closing or (B) who is, at any time during such three-year period, an employee of the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof, whether or not such employee was employed by Seller immediately prior to the Closing, to terminate such employee’s position with the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof; provided, that this Section 5.10(b) shall not prohibit general solicitations by Seller or the hiring of hourly-paid workers of the Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof by Seller pursuant to any such general solicitations.
          (c) Because of the difficulty of measuring economic losses to the Purchaser as a result of a breach of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10, and because of the immediate and irreparable damage that could be caused to the Purchaser for which it would have no other adequate remedy, the E*TRADE Companies, on behalf of itself and the other E*TRADE Group Members, agree that the foregoing covenants may be enforced by the Purchaser, in the event of breach by it, by injunctions and restraining orders.
          (d) The limitations and restrictions in this Section 5.10 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific limitation or restriction shall not affect any other limitation or restriction. Moreover, in the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth are unreasonable, then it is the

29


 

intention of the parties hereto that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent which the court deems reasonable, and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.
          SECTION 5.11. Employees. Subject to the terms of this Section 5.11 and the Interim Servicing Agreement, Seller agrees that it shall retain all employees of the Business (“Business Employees”) for a period of time as requested by Purchaser, but not to exceed 120 days after the Closing Date (the “Transition Period”), at the same salary, severance and benefit levels as existed on May 15, 2004. During the Transition Period, Seller will provide a secure workplace for the Business Employee and the furniture, fixtures and equipment used by such employees (and not sold to Purchaser under this Agreement) to conduct the Business of Seller. The only services to be provided by the Business Employees are those reasonably requested by Purchaser in connection with the business purchased by Purchaser under this Agreement and the transition services described in the Interim Services Agreement. Seller represents to Purchaser that Schedule 5.11 is an accurate list of the names of the Business Employees and their respective salary, bonus, severance and other benefits as of May 15, 2004. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s agreement to retain such employees is subject to the following agreements of Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to: (i) reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for the actual costs of salary, stay retention or similar bonuses and all benefits (including employer’s portion of health insurance premiums and deductibles for health insurance claims, in each case, attributable to the Transition Period) during the Transition Period (which salaries, stay retentions and benefits are described on Schedule 5.11), (ii) reimburse Seller and its Affiliates for severance costs arising from or relating to Seller’s termination of the Business Employees after the Transition Period up to an aggregate of $325,000 and (iii) assume responsibility under the WARN Act for termination of the Business Employees (so long as Seller shall give any required statutory notices during the 120-day period). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that during the Transition Period, due to the Purchaser’s desire to relocate the Business, natural attrition of Business Employees may occur and that none of Seller or its Affiliates shall have any obligation of any nature to replace such Business Employees. Purchaser shall have no claim whatsoever against Seller arising from or related to the services provided by the Business Employees during the Transition Period even if such services are performed in bad faith or in a grossly negligent manner, and Purchaser hereby forever releases and completely absolves Seller and its Affiliates from any of such claims. This release is not intended to alter any obligations of Seller or its Affiliates under the Interim Services Agreement. Finally, Purchaser agrees that Seller and its Affiliates have agreed to the arrangements described in this Section 5.11 purely as an accommodation to the Purchaser and without the foregoing release of any and all liability would not have entered into such accommodating arrangements. Notwithstanding the amounts of stay retentions, bonuses and severance amounts listed for each employee on Schedule 5.11, Seller shall have the flexibility to allocate the aggregate amount of such payments (so long as Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 5.11 are not increased by such reallocations) in a different manner among such employees; provided, (i) Seller will notify Purchaser in advance of any reallocations and give Purchaser an opportunity to make its suggestions regarding such reallocations (which Seller will consider but not be bound by) and (ii) Seller shall not pay out any amount of bonus, retention bonus, severance or any other similar payment to any employee unless such employee continues to provide services for the full 120-day transition period or such shorter period as Purchaser approves.

30


 

          SECTION 5.12. No-Shop. From and after the date of this Agreement and through the earlier of Closing or termination of this Agreement, Seller agrees that it shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates, directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Seller Group”) not to, conduct any discussions with any Person other than Purchaser with respect to any proposal for a merger, consolidation, sale of assets, securities or other interest, tender offer or any similar transaction or business combination involving, directly or indirectly, the Transferred Assets (collectively, an “Acquisition Transaction”). In addition, Seller shall not, and shall cause the Seller Group and any attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, other representatives retained by any of them, not to directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing information) any inquiries or the making of any proposal that would be reasonably expected to lead any Acquisition Transaction.
          SECTION 5.13. Special Acknowledgement and Agreement of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby specifically acknowledges and agrees that it is assuming all Liabilities (including any Liabilities of any of the Seller’s Affiliates, but excluding the Excluded Liabilities) arising from the Listed Litigation (the “Litigation Liability”). Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its full and unconditional assumption of the Litigation Liability of the Business as well as all other Assumed Liabilities and the payment, defense, discharge and performance thereof constitute an integral part of this Agreement and a part of the total consideration due hereunder and that but for such assumption of all such Litigation Liability of the Business as well as all other Assumed Liabilities Seller would not have entered into this Agreement. Immediately upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, Purchaser shall assume control and full responsibility for the defense and discharge of all Litigation Liability of the Business. Purchaser will take, or cause to be taken, all actions and will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary (or requested by Seller and its Affiliates) so as to cause Seller and its Affiliates to be completely removed as parties to any and all litigation. Seller acknowledges and agrees that, in connection with Purchaser’s assumption of the foregoing litigation, Seller will (a) take, or cause to be taken, all reasonable actions and will do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary (or reasonably requested by Purchaser) so as to waive its attorney-client privilege with respect to all such assumed litigation and to cause Purchaser to have access to any and all information, privileged or otherwise, within or without Seller’s control, relating to such litigation and (b) at Purchaser’s request, consent to the retention by Purchaser of each attorney and law firm employed by Seller in connection with such litigation, and do, or cause to be done, all things necessary (or requested by Purchaser) so as to facilitate Purchaser’s retention of such counsel. Without regard to whether Purchaser retains such counsel, Seller hereby agrees to deliver to Purchaser all litigation files relating to such litigation within 10 days of Closing.
          SECTION 5.14. Ancillary and Other Agreements. Seller and Purchaser shall work in good faith to execute and deliver to each other, prior to the Closing, (a) the Ancillary Agreements in form and substance mutually acceptable to them and to be effective as of the Closing and (b) a new ATM management agreement or agreements, containing market terms mutually agreed to by Purchaser and Seller, pursuant to which Purchaser shall provide ATM Support Services with respect to (i) the two ATMs that are part of the Excluded Assets and (ii) the approximately 15 ATMs currently located, and any ATMs to be located in the future, in E*TRADE Bank’s retail locations.

31


 

          SECTION 5.15. Banking Services. To the extent that any Transferred ATM Management Agreement requires Seller or E*TRADE Bank to provide any banking services for the benefit of any Customer, its employees or customers, other than cash withdrawals, balance inquiries or fund transfers at an ATM deployed at the Customer’s location(s), E*TRADE Bank agrees to continue to provide such banking services following the Closing for so long as such banking services are required under such Transferred ATM Management Agreement or until the Customer expressly releases Seller and E*TRADE Bank from the obligation to provide such banking services.
          SECTION 5.16. Processing History. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, within 10 days of the date of this Agreement:
          (a) for each ATM included in the Transferred ATM Equipment, processing history (flat files) for each such ATM for the 24-month period prior to the Closing, including the revenues and transactions generated by each such ATM for such period;
          (b) for each ATM included in the Transferred ATM Equipment, a list of any applicable merchant fee splitting arrangements applicable to each such ATM; and
          (c) a schedule (“Schedule 5.16”) of each Dealer Agreement pursuant to which Seller has paid a commission or made a residual payment in 2004;
provided, notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to deliver the information required in Section 5.16(a) before June 15, 2004.
          SECTION 5.17. Key Customer Visits. As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, but in any event prior to the Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, together, visit with each of Target Corporation, Chevron Stations, Inc. and CVS Pharmacy, Inc. for the purposes of facilitating a smooth transition at the Closing of the arrangements and relationships described in the Key ATM Management Agreements.
          SECTION 5.18. Updated Schedules.
          (a) Seller has requested, and Purchaser agrees to accommodate Seller’s request, to update Schedule 4.1(m)(ii) prior to the close of business on June 7, 2004, and Seller shall furnish Purchaser with an updated Schedule 4.1(m)(ii) by such time or indicate in writing that no such update is necessary. Seller has no Knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of any item that would require such schedule to be updated. If any item first reflected on such updated Schedule materially interferes with Purchaser’s ability to conduct its existing business, the Business or any expansion of the foregoing, Purchaser may designate such item as an Excluded Liability.
          (b) Seller has requested, and Purchaser agrees to accommodate Seller’s request, to update Schedule 4.1(k) prior to the close of business on June 7, 2004, and Seller shall furnish Purchaser with an updated Schedule 4.1(k) by such time or indicate in writing that no such update is necessary. Seller has no Knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of any item or items that would require such schedule to be updated. The parties agree that all prepaid amounts, deposits and similar amounts held by Seller shall be Transferred Assets.

32


 

          (c) Seller has requested, and Purchaser agrees to accommodate Seller’s request, to update Schedule 4.1(c) prior to the close of business on June 7, 2004, and Seller shall furnish Purchaser with an updated Schedule 4.1(c) by such time or indicate in writing that no such update is necessary. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be permitted to reference any consent from Target Corporation on any update to Schedule 4.1(c). Seller has no Knowledge as of the date of this Agreement of any item that would require such schedule to be updated.

          (b) By either Purchaser or Seller, if (i) any approval of a Governmental Authority, the lack of which would result in the failure to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a), has been denied by the Governmental Authority, and (ii) in each case the

34


 

applicable party has no opportunity to cure the fault giving rise to such denial, including through reapplication or appeal;
          (c) By either Purchaser or Seller, if (i) any permanent injunction or action by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction prohibiting consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement becomes final and nonappealable; (ii) any law or regulation makes consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited; or (iii) consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would violate any nonappealable final order, decree or judgment of any Governmental Authority having competent jurisdiction; or
          (d) By Seller if the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated on or before August 31, 2004 as a result of the conditions in Section 6.3(a) or (b) not being satisfied. In such event, Seller shall be entitled to receive as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy and recourse, liquidated damages in an amount equal to $1,000,000.
          (e) By Purchaser if the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated on or before August 31, 2004 as a result of the conditions in Section 6.2(a) or (b) not being satisfied.
          (f) By Seller or Purchaser if the transactions contemplated herein are not consummated on or before August 31, 2004 as a result of the conditions in Section 6.1 not being satisfied.
          SECTION 7.2. Effect of Termination. Except as expressly provided above in Section 7.1, if this Agreement is terminated, no party hereto (or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, representatives or agents) will have any liability or further obligation to the other party to this Agreement, except for (a) obligations set out in Sections 5.3(b) and (c) and 9.2, and (b) liabilities or obligations arising out of or related to any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.
ARTICLE VIII
SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION
          SECTION 8.1. No Merger; Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties shall not be extinguished by or merged into the Ancillary Agreements but rather shall survive the Closing; provided, no claim for breach of representation or warranty may be first asserted at any time after the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date, except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.1(p) shall survive until 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.
          SECTION 8.2. Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the remaining terms of this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors, assigns and representatives (the “Purchaser Parties”) from and against any and all damage, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable expenses of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any action, suit or proceeding) (“Losses”) incurred or suffered by any Purchaser Party that arises out of, results from or constitutes (a) any breach of

35


 

representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (b) the failure of Seller to perform any of its agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement or in any Transaction Document or (c) any Excluded Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall have no liability under Section 8.2(a) until the aggregate of all Losses suffered by the Purchaser Parties exceeds $1.5 million (the “Deductible Amount”) and then Seller shall be liable under Section 8.2(a) for only such Losses that exceed the Deductible Amount; provided, the Deductible Amount shall not apply to (and therefore Seller will be responsible for the first dollar of Losses suffered by any Purchaser Party) any claim arising from a breach of representation or warranty relating to (i) any knowing misrepresentation or (ii) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 4.1(a), (b), (g), (i), (m), or (p) (the items referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) preceding are referred to as the “Excluded Items”). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s maximum aggregate liability under Section 8.2(a) shall not exceed $22.5 million; provided, the foregoing cap shall not apply to the Excluded Items. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit Seller’s liability under Sections 8.2(b) or (c).
          SECTION 8.3. Indemnification by Purchaser and Cardtronics, Inc.. Subject to the remaining terms of this Article VIII, Purchaser and Cardtronics, Inc., jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective partners, members, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors, assigns and representatives (the “Seller Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any Seller Party that arises out of, results from or constitutes (a) any breach of representation or warranty made by Purchaser in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, (b) the failure of Purchaser to perform any of its agreements or covenants set forth in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement or (c) any Assumed Liability; provided, Purchaser and Cardtronics, Inc. shall only be obligated to provide indemnification under this clause (c) following the Closing.
          SECTION 8.4. Notice, Settlements and Other Matters.
          (a) A party seeking indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) must give prompt written notice to the party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any action or proceeding, in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnified Party’s ability to defend such claim, action or proceeding has been materially prejudiced thereby. In the event that any third party claim is made against the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party may elect at any time to negotiate a settlement or a compromise of such action or claim or to defend such action or claim, in each case at its sole cost and expense (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2) and with its own counsel. If, within thirty (30) days of receipt from an Indemnified Party of the notice referred to above, the Indemnifying Party (i) advises the Indemnified Party in writing that it will not elect to defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim or (ii) fails to notify the Indemnified Party of its election to defend, settle or otherwise compromise such action or claim or if at any time the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently prosecute any claim or action it elects to defend, the Indemnified Party may (subject to the Indemnifying Party’s continuing right of election in the preceding sentence), at its option,

36


 

defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim; provided, that any such settlement or compromise shall be permitted hereunder only with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Unless and until the Indemnifying Party makes an election in accordance with this Section to defend, settle, compromise or pay such action or claim or at any time the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently prosecute any claim or action it elects to defend, compromise or settle, all of the Indemnified Party’s reasonable costs arising out of the defense, settlement, compromise or payment thereof will be Losses subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party (subject to the provisions and limitations of Section 8.2). Each Indemnified Party shall make available to the Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to such Indemnified Party relating to such action or claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend any such action or claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at the Indemnified Party’s sole cost and expense.
          (b) The Indemnified Party will have the right to reject any settlement approved by the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnified Party concludes in its reasonable good faith judgment that it is not fully and unconditionally released from any liability resulting from that claim or is required to pay any costs, expenses or damages to any Person as a result of the claim that are not covered by the indemnity provided herein. In the event the Indemnified Party rejects any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party’s obligation shall remain outstanding without modification. The Indemnified Party will not have the right to settle any third party claim without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party if the Indemnifying Party is contesting such claim in good faith and has assumed the defense of such claim from the Indemnified Party or if the period for determining whether or not to assume the defense of such claim from the Indemnified Party has not expired.
          (c) Seller and Purchaser agree to treat all indemnity payments as adjustments to the amount of the total consideration paid for the Transferred Assets for all Tax purposes.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indemnification provided for herein shall not cover, and in no event shall any party hereto be liable for, any indirect damages or Losses, including lost profits or opportunities, or any consequential, incidental, exemplary or special damages, or punitive damages (except to the extent necessary to reimburse an Indemnified Party for judgments actually awarded to third parties in respect of such types of damages).
          (e) After the Closing, other than as provided in Section 5.3(d), this Article VIII will constitute Seller’s and Purchaser’s (and their respective Affiliates’) exclusive remedy for any of the matters addressed herein or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, other than fraud.
          (f) The parties acknowledge that certain matters that form a valid basis for Purchaser asserting a breach of representation claim may also, because of the scope of the definition of “Assumed Liabilities,” constitute an Assumed Liability. For example, if Seller fails to disclose pending litigation as required by Section 4.1(k) and such litigation directly arises out of or relates to the Transferred Assets, Seller’s failure to disclose such matter would constitute a breach of its representation in Section 4.1(k), and, at the same time, such pending litigation

37


 

would be an Assumed Liability. Notwithstanding such overlap, (i) Purchaser’s right to bring a breach of representation claim shall not be impaired so long as it is made on the terms set forth in Article VIII (and will take priority over any Assumed Liability claim by Seller for the same matter on which Purchaser’s breach of representation claim is asserted) and (ii) Seller shall continue to have the benefit of the applicable survival period, Deductible Amount, cap on liability and other rights granted thereto that relate to defending a breach of representation claim brought by Purchaser, in each case, to the extent such rights apply to the type of breach of representation claim asserted.
