The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment, including decrease by the amount of Closing Date Indebtedness, and increase or decrease, as the case may be, by the Working Capital Adjustment Amount, if any, as those terms are defined in and calculated under the stock purchase agreement entered into on December 10, 2013 by and among LSH, LSCS and XPO (the “XPO Agreement”) as amended by the Letter Agreement, dated as of December 27, 2013, by and among LSH, LSCS and XPO (the “Letter Agreement”). The foregoing description of the XPO Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the XPO Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed on December 12, 2013, which is hereby incorporated by reference, and the full text of the Letter Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and hereby incorporated by reference.
