- Cash Component: $65,000,000 plus the difference between the Maximum Amount and the actual principal of the Promissory Note.

Material Changes and Conditions

- Stockholder Approval: Requires approval by a majority of shares cast by holders of HAPC common stock sold in the April 2006 IPO.
- Conversion Rights: The deal cannot close if 20% or more of IPO shares vote against the acquisition and demand conversion to trust proceeds.
- Guarantees: The break-up fee is guaranteed by HAPC Chairman Sean D. McDevitt, Secretary/Director Pat LaVecchia, and Philip B. Harris. Letters of credit totaling $3,000,000 must be delivered by October 14, 2006.
- Post-Closing Agreements: InfuSystem will enter into a three-year Services Agreement and a License Agreement with I-Flow to continue providing billing, collection, and management services.

The filing contains forward-looking statements regarding the expected completion and timing of the transaction. Management highlights the following risks and contingencies:
- Regulatory and Third-Party Consents: Delays or failure to obtain necessary approvals could prevent closing.
- Stockholder Vote: Failure to secure the required majority approval or the exercise of Conversion Rights by 20% or more of IPO shares would terminate the deal.
- Financial Condition of Target: Material changes in InfuSystem's business or financial condition, including new liabilities or litigation.
