Preamble
(1) The Seller represents the owner of
1,304,500 shares, listed and traded, made out to the bearer, non-par individual shares having a numerical value of 1.00 (one) Euro per share
(in the following „GROUP shares“)
CUSIP number: 510 450 / ISIN: DE0005104509
of GROUP Business Software AG [herein as ‘GROUP’], headquartered in Eisenach, registered in the court of Jena with the registration number HR B 405713 (in the following "GROUP AG").
GROUP has a capital stock of 25,232,000 Euro. The seller therefore owns shares representing 5.1% of GROUP’s capital stock.
Now, therefore, the parties agree to the following:
§ 1
Purchase and transfer of the shares
(1) The Seller sells and the Purchaser accepts the aforementioned shares with subscription rights for the current business year. All voting rights to the shares will be transferred with the signing of this agreement.
(2) The Seller undertakes to instruct his securities account bank to immediately transfer upon request of the Purchaser the shares described in this agreement to the Purchaser. The transfer of the shares includes all rights including any claim to dividends for the current year.
§ 2
Purchase Price, Payment and Restoration
(1) As consideration for the GROUP shares sold/transferred under this Contract, Purchaser shall pay and Seller shall receive a purchase price of US$652,250.00 (or US$0.50 per share).
(2) The payment due to the Seller will be satisfied by transfer of 557,480 free publicly traded shares of GBS Enterprises Inc. [GBSX shares]. The GBSX shares are traded at the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB) at New York Stock Exchange, NY, USA.
(3) The consideration is calculated based on a 10 day average trading stock price of the GBSX share not below US$1.17 the ‘assumed share price’). In the event that the GBSX share is trading below the Assumed Share Price, Seller has the right to restoration to cover loss of value. The loss coverage will be calculated as follows: US$1.17 minus the actual 10 day average share price. The Purchaser may satisfy the Seller for the loss coverage by transferring additional GBSX shares or by payment in cash (e. g.: Average Share Price: US$1.07; difference to the Assumed Share Price: US$0.10; Loss Coverage: US$0.10*557,480=US$55,748.00 or 52,100 GBSX shares).
