Nord will not be obligated to make any representations or warranties to the purchaser in a Third Party Sale, except as to (A) good and valid title to its Units to be transferred, (B) the legal capacity and authority for, and validity, binding effect and enforceability of (as against Nord), any agreement entered into by Nord in connection with the Third Party Sale, and (C) the absence of encumbrances, with respect to its Units to be Transferred. All representations and warranties made by Nord in connection with the Third Party Sale shall be on a several and not joint basis. In connection with any Third Party Sale, each Unit Holder agrees to be bound by, but in each case, solely as to, or to the extent of, the representations and warranties made by such Unit Holder, agreements with respect to indemnification obligations, amounts paid into escrow, amounts subject to holdbacks or amounts subject to post-closing purchase price adjustments, and agreements to appoint representatives; provided, that any such indemnification, escrow, holdback and adjustment obligations undertaken by any Member (A) shall be in the reverse order of the distributions priorities set forth in Section 4.1(a) (i.e., the holders of Units having the lowest priority of distributions having the first offer obligation with respect to any such indemnification, escrow, holdback and adjustment obligations), and (B) shall not exceed the total amount of consideration received by such Member in connection with such Third Party Sale of the Company. (e) To the extent that a Unit Holder does not take any actions required to be taken by it pursuant to this Section 7.4 and when requested by the Board pursuant to this Section 7.4, each such Unit Holder hereby constitutes and appoints the Board as such Unit Holder’s true and lawful Attorney-in-Fact and authorizes the Attorney-in-Fact to execute on behalf of such Unit Holder any and all documents and instruments which the Attorney-in-Fact deems necessary and appropriate in connection with the Third Party Sale. The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest. (f) Upon the execution of a definitive agreement with respect to any Third Party Sale, the Nord Call Right, the Rollover Put Right, and the Major Investors’ rights of first offer and Co-Sale Rights Nord Put Right shall again become effectivebe suspended, and no transfer upon the closing of such Offered Shares may a Third Party Sale, the Nord Call Right, the Rollover Put Right, and the Nord Put Right shall be made thereafter terminated. (g) For purposes of this Agreement, a “Third Party Sale” shall mean any direct or indirect sale to an independent third party of all of the Units in the Company (including any Series A Units into which the Note is converted immediately prior to the Third Party Sale, and including by such Seller without again offering merger, consolidation, reorganization or combination of the same to Company) or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Major Investors in accordance with its Subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 3.17.4, the Rollover Investor and its direct and indirect owners may elect to convey the Rollover Investor’s Units to the third party in a Third Party Sale in any combination of Units in the Company and stock in a corporation whose assets consist solely of direct or indirect equity interests in the Rollover Investor (such stock, “Blocker Stock” and, the Blocker Stock together with any Units held by the Rollover Investor and/or its Affiliates, the “Option Equity”). If a Third Party Sale is to include the sale of the Blocker Stock, such sale of Blocker Stock shall be preceded by the Rollover Investor distributing interests in the Company in redemption of the Rollover Investor’s equity followed by the sole owner of the Rollover Investor distributing the interests in the Company to the Rollover Investor Blocker in redemption of the Rollover Investor Blocker’s ownership in the sole owner of the Rollover Investor related to the Company, such that the Rollover Investor Blocker would own its interests in the Company directly at the time of the sale of the Blocker Stock (a “Pre-Sale Distribution”).
