THIS ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 22, 2017, is made by and between DMS HEALTH TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a North Dakota corporation (“Seller”), and PHILIPS NORTH AMERICA LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).
WHEREAS, Seller provides post-warranty service to its customers pursuant to the Assigned Contracts (as defined below) (the “DMS Service Business”);
WHEREAS, Seller wishes to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer wishes to purchase from Seller, all right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Contracts and related assets, all pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth on Schedule I.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS
PURCHASE AND SALE OF ASSETS
1.1 Purchase and Sale of Assets. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer, assign, deliver and relinquish to Buyer in perpetuity, free and clear of all Liens, all right, title and interest in and to the Acquired Assets. As used in this Agreement, “Acquired Assets” means:
(a) all right, title and interest in, to and under all Contracts listed on Schedule 1.1(a) (collectively, the “Assigned Contracts”);
(b) all books, records, information, documents, correspondence, files, manuals, studies, reports, databases and other materials, including any portions thereof, maintained in any medium (including, where available, digital media), that relate to, or are used in connection with, the Assigned Contracts, including equipment repair records, maintenance and service records, including descriptions of regularly scheduled and preventative maintenance; customer lists, customer addresses, records, invoices and database records (in Microsoft Excel or other electronic spreadsheet format); operating data and plans; billing records and purchase order numbers; accounting files and records; all lists of and all rights in and to the information contained therein; and, for the avoidance of doubt, all of the materials identified on Schedule 1.1(b), in each case that relate to, or are used in connection with, the Assigned Contracts (collectively, the “Books and Records”); and
(c) all goodwill relating to the DMS Service Business.
1.2 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement will constitute a sale, transfer, assignment or conveyance to Buyer of, and Buyer will not acquire any of any Seller’s right, title and interest in and to, the assets of the Seller that are not the Purchased Assets.
1.3 Assumed Liabilities. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall assume from Seller the obligations of Seller under the Assigned Contracts as and to the extent such Assigned Contracts are transferred to Buyer under Section 1.1(a), but only to the extent such obligations (a) are to be performed in the first instance after the Closing and (b) do not arise from or relate to any breach or default by Seller of any provision of any of such Assigned Contracts or any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach or default thereof (the “Assumed Liabilities”). Buyer is not assuming and shall not have any liability or obligation whatsoever for any other Liabilities of Seller or any of its Affiliates (or any predecessors of Seller or any of its Affiliates) whatsoever, all
of which will be retained and satisfied when due by Seller or any of its Affiliates, as applicable (collectively, the “Excluded Liabilities”). The disclosure of any Liability on any schedule to this Agreement shall not create an Assumed Liability or other Liability of Buyer, except where such disclosed Liability has been expressly assumed by Buyer as an Assumed Liability pursuant to this Section 1.3.
1.4 Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place on the later of (a) January 31, 2018, provided that all of the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than any such conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which conditions shall be required to be so satisfied or waived on the Closing Date) and (b) the third (3rd) Business Day following the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article VI have been satisfied or waived (other than any such conditions that by their terms cannot be satisfied until the Closing Date, which conditions shall be required to be so satisfied or waived on the Closing Date), unless another time and/or date is agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall be held at the offices of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C., One Financial Center, Boston, Massachusetts, unless another place is agreed to in writing by Seller and Buyer (it being understood that the Closing may be effected by the delivery of documents via e-mail, facsimile and/or overnight courier).
1.5 Transfer Documents. At the Closing, in addition to the other deliverables contemplated by Article VI, the parties shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, the following documents (collectively, the “Transfer Documents”):
(a) Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to each other a xxxx of sale, assignment and assumption agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A, pursuant to which Seller will assign and convey to Buyer the Acquired Assets and Buyer will assume from Seller the Assumed Liabilities; and
(b) Seller will execute and deliver all such other bills of sale, assignments, endorsements, certificates of title, consents and other good and sufficient instruments and documents of conveyance and transfer in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, as Buyer reasonably shall deem necessary or appropriate to vest in or confirm to Buyer full and complete right, title and interest in and to all of the Acquired Assets.
1.6 Consents of Third Parties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement to the contrary, neither this Agreement nor any such Related Agreement shall constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise transfer, or require Buyer to assume any obligations under, any Assigned Contract if an attempted assignment or transfer thereof would, without the consent of a third party to such assignment or transfer, constitute a breach thereof, would be ineffective, would affect adversely the rights of Buyer thereunder or would violate any applicable Law. If any such consent listed on Schedule 6.2(d) has not been obtained as of the Closing Date and Buyer in its sole discretion nevertheless determines to proceed with the Closing, Buyer may waive the closing condition that such consent be delivered at the Closing, and Seller shall use its best efforts to obtain such consent following the Closing, and Buyer shall provide commercially reasonable cooperation to Seller in seeking to obtain any such consent. Seller shall pay and discharge any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs or expenses of seeking to obtain or obtaining any such consent or approval whether before or after the Closing Date up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) in the aggregate. If any Assigned Contract is not transferred to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer all of the benefits of such Assigned Contract until such consent has been obtained. Nothing in this Section 1.6 shall be deemed to modify in any respect any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth herein or the conditions to Buyer’s obligations contained in Article VI, be deemed a waiver by Buyer of its right to have received on or before the Closing Date an effective assignment of all of the Acquired Assets or be deemed to constitute an agreement to exclude from the Acquired Assets any assets described under Section 1.1.
2
1.7 Further Assurances. At any time and from time to time after the Closing, at the request of Buyer and without further consideration, Seller and its Affiliates shall execute and deliver such other instruments of sale, transfer, conveyance, assignment and confirmation, and shall take such further action, as may be reasonably requested in order to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to Buyer, and to confirm Buyer’s title in and to, the Acquired Assets, and each of the parties shall execute such other documents and take such further action as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
ARTICLE II
PURCHASE PRICE
PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price payable for the Acquired Assets shall be $8,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.3.
2.2 Payment of Purchase Price. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall pay:
(a) to the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Amount, in cash by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions delivered to Buyer in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to be deposited into an escrow account (the “Escrow Account”) with the Escrow Agent and held in accordance with the terms of an escrow agreement, in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto (the “Escrow Agreement”); and
(b) to Seller, the sum of the Purchase Price, less the Estimated Prepaid Revenue, less the Escrow Amount (the “Closing Payment”), in cash by wire transfer of immediately available U.S. funds in accordance with the wire transfer instructions delivered by Seller to Buyer in writing at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
2.3 Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a) Two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or such other date as may be mutually agreed to by the parties), Seller shall deliver to Buyer a certificate setting forth a detailed calculation of Seller’s good faith estimate of Prepaid Revenue (the “Estimated Prepaid Revenue”), which must be reasonably acceptable to Buyer. For the purposes of determining the amount paid to Seller at the Closing, the Purchase Price shall be decreased by the amount, if any, of the Estimated Prepaid Revenue.
(b) As promptly as possible, but in any event within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer will deliver to Seller its calculation of Prepaid Revenue (the “Prepaid Revenue Statement”). The Prepaid Revenue Statement will be prepared in a manner consistent with the definition of Prepaid Revenue and the accounting principles and practices referred to therein.
(c) Upon the reasonable request of Seller and during normal working hours, Buyer will make available to Seller the books and records used to prepare the Prepaid Revenue Statement. If Seller has any objections to the Prepaid Revenue Statement, Seller will deliver to Buyer a statement setting forth its objections thereto (an “Objections Statement”), which statement will identify in reasonable detail those items and amounts to which Seller objects (the “Disputed Items”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Prepaid Revenue Statement, the Prepaid Revenue Statement as prepared by Buyer will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties. Seller and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve the Disputed Items, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement to Buyer, Seller and Buyer will submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm. In the event the parties submit any unresolved Disputed Items to the Accounting Firm, each party will submit its final calculation of Prepaid Revenue (each, a “Final Prepaid Revenue Statement”) together with such supporting documentation as it deems appropriate, to the Accounting Firm within thirty (30) days after the date on which such unresolved Disputed Items were submitted to the Accounting
3
Firm for resolution. Seller and Buyer will use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve such dispute as soon as practicable, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the date on which the Accounting Firm receives the Final Prepaid Revenue Statements prepared by Seller and Buyer. The Accounting Firm will promptly review only the unresolved Disputed Items and resolve the dispute with respect to each such specific item and amount in accordance with the definition of Prepaid Revenue and the accounting principles and practices referred to therein; provided that, the Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item, or lower than the lowest value of such item, claimed in the Final Prepaid Revenue Statements provided to the such Accounting Firm pursuant hereto. The determination of the Accounting Firm will be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties absent manifest error. Each party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with the resolution of such dispute by the Accounting Firm. The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be paid by the non-prevailing party, as determined by the Accounting Firm.
(d) If the Prepaid Revenue as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c) is greater than the Estimated Prepaid Revenue then, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Prepaid Revenue, Seller will pay to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess. If the Prepaid Revenue as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.3(c) is lower than the Estimated Prepaid Revenue then, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the Prepaid Revenue, Buyer will pay to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to such shortfall.
2.4 Tax Withholding. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payments under the provisions of any applicable Laws, including as the result of a change in such applicable Laws after the date hereof. Any such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
2.5 Allocation of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets as reasonably determined by Buyer in accordance with Code Section 1060 (and any similar provisions of state or local Law, as appropriate) and shall be set forth in a schedule delivered by Buyer to Seller within one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”). If Seller disagrees with the Proposed Allocation Schedule, Seller shall prepare and deliver to Buyer an Objections Statement within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Proposed Allocation Schedule and any disputes relating thereto shall be resolved in accordance with Section 2.3(c) mutatis mutandis. Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall file all Tax Returns (including IRS Form 8594) consistent with the final allocation of the Purchase Price determined hereunder (as reasonably adjusted to account for events occurring after the determination of the final allocation of the Purchase Price), and none of Buyer, Seller or their respective Affiliates shall take any Tax position inconsistent with the final allocation of the Purchase Price determined hereunder unless required to do so by a change in applicable Laws or a good faith resolution of a Tax contest.

In recognition of the foregoing, Seller agrees that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions set forth in this Section 5.10, in addition to such other remedies as Buyer may have at Law, without posting any bond or security or requirement for proof of actual damages, Buyer shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, in the form of specific performance, or temporary, preliminary or permanent injunctive relief, or any other equitable remedy which then may be available. The seeking of such injunction or Order shall not affect Buyer’s right to seek and obtain damages or other equitable relief on account of any such actual or threatened breach.

The parties agree that any payment pursuant to an indemnification obligation under this Article VII shall be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by Law.

7.6 Knowledge and Investigation. The right of any Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII will not be affected by any investigation conducted or knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing, with respect to the accuracy of any representations or warranty, or performance of or compliance with any covenant or agreement hereunder.

15
(b) Additionally, in no event will the aggregate indemnification paid by an Indemnifying Person for Losses pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i) or Section 7.3(a)(i), as applicable, exceed one hundred percent (100%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”).
7.8 Waivers. The waiver of any condition contained in this Agreement or in any Related Agreement based on the breach of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right of any Indemnified Person to indemnification pursuant to this Article VII based on such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(b) All Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be heard and determined in any state or federal Court sitting in the State of Delaware.

9.5 Specific Performance. The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative. The transactions contemplated by this Agreement are unique transactions and any failure on the part of any party to complete the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on the terms of this Agreement will not be fully compensable in damages and the breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause the other parties hereto irreparable harm. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies available to the parties hereto for a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to seek specific performance of this Agreement and seek an injunction restraining any such party from such breach or threatened breach. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert as the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to Sections, subsections, schedules or exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section, subsection, schedule or exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The word “herein” and similar references mean, except where a specific Section or Article reference is expressly indicated, the entire Agreement rather than any specific Section or Article. The table of contents and the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.7 Severability.

Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
