The Purchase Price paid by Heartland for the Assets consisted of two (2) promissory notes issued by Heartland to the Sellers in the aggregate amount of $6,885,000. The APA is dated as of August 15, 2007 and the transaction has an effective date under the terms of the APA of October 1, 2007 (the "Effective Date").
