     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
PURCHASE AND SALE
1.1 Recitals. The recitals are incorporated into this Agreement by reference.
1.2 Purchase and Sale of Contract Rights. The Seller hereby agrees to sell and the Buyer hereby agrees to purchase at the Closing (as defined in Section 2.1) each Service Contract and any and all books, records or other written materials of the Seller which are directly related to such Service Contracts.
1.3 Assignment and Assumption Agreement. To effectuate the transfer of the Service Contracts from the Seller to the Buyer and the Buyers assumption of the Service Contracts, the Buyer and the Seller shall enter into the Assignment and Assumption of Service Contracts in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.3 (the Assignment and Assumption).
