(i) any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article 3 or Article 4;

 

(ii) any breach by any Seller or the Company of, or any failure of Sellers or the Company to perform, any of the covenants, agreements or obligations contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement;

 

 - 49 - 
 

  

(iii) any unpaid Transaction Expenses and Indebtedness (to the extent not deducted from the Purchase Price pursuant to Article 2);

 

(iv) the actual or alleged presence of any Materials of Environmental Concern on any Leased Real Property as of the Closing Date, the actual or alleged violation of any existing at the time of closing date Environmental Law by the Company prior to the Closing Date or any claim or liability under any existing at the time of closing date Environmental Law based on any act or omission of the Company prior to the Closing Date;

 

(v) all Taxes (or the nonpayment thereof) of (A) the Company or Sellers for all Pre-Closing Periods and Pre-Closing Partial Tax Periods and (B) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company) imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by Contract or pursuant to any Law, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

(b) Subject to the provisions of this Article 9, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and all of Sellers’Affiliates, including, agents and successors, from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by Sellers arising out of, based upon or resulting from any of the following:

 - 50 - 
 

 

(c) In the event that a Person entitled to indemnification under this Article 9 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall incur or suffer any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Article 9 against the Person(s) required to provide indemnification under this Article 9 (collectively, the “Indemnifying Party”), the Indemnified Party shall assert a claim for indemnification by providing a written notice (the “Notice of Loss”) to the Indemnifying Party stating the nature and basis of such Notice of Loss. The Notice of Loss shall be provided to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after the Indemnified Party becomes aware that it has incurred or suffered a Loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 9.2, any failure to provide the Indemnifying Party with a Notice of Loss, or any failure to provide a Notice of Loss in a timely manner as aforesaid, shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party from any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9.1 except to the extent that the ability of such Indemnifying Party to defend such claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such Notice of Loss. If the Notice of Loss relates to a Third-Party Claim, the procedures set forth in Section 9.1(d) shall be applicable. If the Notice of Loss does not relate to a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days from the date of receipt of such Notice of Loss to object to any of the subject matter and any of the amounts of the Losses set forth in the Notice of Loss, as the case may be, by causing the Indemnifying Party to deliver written notice of objection thereof to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to send a notice of objection to the Notice of Loss within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to the Notice of Loss and shall be obligated to pay to the Indemnified Party the portion of the amount specified in the Notice of Loss to which the Indemnifying Party has not objected. If the Indemnifying Party sends a timely notice of objection, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to settle (without an obligation to settle) such claim for indemnification. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party do not settle such dispute within 30 days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Indemnifying Party’s notice of objection, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek enforcement of their respective rights under this Article 9.

 

(d) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the assertion of any claim or the commencement of any Proceeding by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) in respect of which the Indemnified Party shall seek indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall so notify in writing the Indemnifying Party, but, subject to Section 9.2, any failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party under this Section 9.1, except to the extent that the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third-Party Claim is materially prejudiced by the Indemnified Party’s failure to give such notice. In no event shall the Indemnified Party admit any Liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim or settle, compromise, pay or discharge such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. With respect to any such Third-Party Claim (i) as to which the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder and (ii) for which the Indemnifying Party has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Indemnified Party the economic ability to satisfy in full all damages arising from such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense (at the expense of the Indemnifying Party) of any such claim through counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party by notifying the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Indemnified Party’s notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that if the Indemnified Party has been advised by its counsel that there are one or more legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to any Indemnifying Party or that there is otherwise a potential conflict between the interests of the Indemnified Party and any Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent it at the expense of the Indemnifying Party. Subject to the preservation of attorney-client privilege, the Indemnifying Party agrees to render to the Indemnified Party, its counsel and agents such assistance as may reasonably be requested in order to ensure the proper and adequate defense of any such claim, which assistance shall include, to the extent reasonably requested, the retention and provision of records and information reasonably relevant to such Third-Party Claim. Unless such settlement (w) includes only the payment of monetary damages (which are fully paid by the Indemnifying Party), (x) does not impose any injunctive or equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, (y) does not require any admission or acknowledgment of liability or fault of the Indemnified Party and (z) contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party in respect of such claim, the Indemnifying Party may not settle or otherwise dispose of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

 - 51 - 
 

 

(e) With respect to any Third-Party Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, after written notice by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of the election by the Indemnifying Party to assume control of the defense of any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party hereunder for any defense costs or fees subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, except as set forth in Section 9.1(d). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume control of the defense of such Third-Party Claim within 30 days after the receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the notice required pursuant to Section 9.1(d), the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend such Third-Party Claim in such manner as it may deem appropriate at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party.

 

9.2 Survival. The representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of 18 months from the Closing Date, and no claim for indemnification may be made after such time; provided, however, that the representations and warranties made in Sections 4.1 (Authorization of Transactions ), 4.2 (Organization), 4.3 (Capitalization) and 4.5 (Governmental Approvals; Noncontravention) shall survive indefinitely. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any representation or warranty (and the indemnification obligations of the Parties with respect thereto) that would otherwise terminate in accordance with this Section 9.2 will continue to survive if notice for indemnification shall have been given in accordance with this Article 9 on or before such termination date, until such claim for indemnification has been satisfied or otherwise resolved as provided herein. All covenants and agreements in this Agreement will survive until fully performed; provided, however, that, nothing herein shall prevent Buyer from making any claim hereunder, or relieve Sellers from any liability hereunder, after such time for any breach thereof.

 

9.3 Certain Limitations.

 

(b) Except as set forth in Section 9.3(b) and (c), the aggregate amount required to be paid by Sellers under Section 9.1(a) or by Buyer under Section 9.1(b) shall not exceed $150,000.

 

(c) The aggregate amount required to be paid by Sellers under Section 9.1(a) in connection with any breach of any representation or warranty contained in Section 4.18 (Intellectual Property) shall not exceed $500,000.

 

 - 52 - 
 

 

(d) There shall be no limit to the aggregate amount required to be paid by Sellers or Buyer under Section 9.1(a) or any other provision of this Agreement in connection with any Liability resulting from, arising out of or in connection with any intentional misconduct, fraud or intentional misrepresentation on the part of Sellers or the Company.

 

9.4 Payment. Upon a determination of liability under this Article 9, the Indemnifying Party shall pay or cause to be paid to the Indemnified Party the amount so determined within five (5) Business Days after the date of such determination. If there should be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed under this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall nevertheless pay when due such portion, if any, of the obligation that is not subject to dispute. Subject to Section 9.6, upon the payment in full of any amounts due under this Article 9 with respect to any claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to the rights of the Indemnified Party against any Person with respect to the subject matter of such claim.

 

9.5 Set-Off. Any amounts payable to a Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article 9 shall be paid to such Buyer Indemnified Party, at the discretion of Buyer: (a) by reducing the any cash payment to be made by Buyer under Section 2.3(a) not yet paid in the amount of such Losses, (b) by reducing the number of shares of Buyer Stock to be issued by Seller under Section 2.3(b) not yet issued in an amount equal to the amount of such Losses divided by the Market Price of the shares of the Buyer Stock and/or (c) by reducing the Contingent Consideration Payments in the amount of such Losses.

 

9.6 No Recourse. Effective upon the Closing, notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) Sellers hereby irrevocably waive any and all claims and right to recourse against the Company or any of the Company’s Employees, including such claims and right to recourse with respect to any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty or indemnity, or noncompliance with any conditions, covenants or agreements, given or made by Sellers or the Company in this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements and documents executed or to be executed in order to consummate the Transactions and (b) Sellers shall not be entitled to contribution from, subrogation to or recovery against the Company with respect to any Liability of Sellers, including any such Liability that may arise under or pursuant to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any other agreements or documents executed or to be executed by the Parties in connection herewith.

 

9.7 Effect of Knowledge on Indemnification. The right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon any representations, warranties, covenants and obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation. The waiver of any condition based upon the accuracy of any representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any covenant or obligation, shall not affect the right to indemnification, reimbursement or other remedy based upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations.

Article 10

Tax Matters

 

10.1 Tax Returns. 

 

(a) With respect to Tax Returns of the Company for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Periods”) and which are required to be filed on or before the Closing Date, Seller Representative shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), at Sellers’ sole cost and expense, in a manner consistent with prior practice and in accordance with applicable Law, and file (or cause to be filed) when due all such Tax Returns and pay all Taxes due on such Tax Returns.

 

(b) Seller Representative shall prepare and timely file all Tax Returns for the Company for all Pre-Closing Periods that are due after the Closing Date. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared by treating items on such Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the past practices with respect to such items, unless otherwise required by Law. Seller Representative shall provide Buyer with opportunity to review and comment on each such Tax Return or amendment thereto described in the preceding sentence before filing, and shall make changes to such Tax Returns reasonably by Buyer. Not less than five (5) days before the filing of any such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return, Sellers shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Taxes shown as due on such Tax Returns (including any withholding taxes required to be paid by the Company for Seller-level Taxes). At the option of Seller Representative, or if Seller Representative is unable to collect the amount equal to the Taxes shown due as due, such amount may be paid to Buyer by any of the mechanisms set forth in Section 10.4. Buyer shall then cause the Company to issue a check for payment for all Taxes shown as due on such Pre-Closing Period Tax Return (including any withholding taxes payable by the Company for Seller-level Taxes referenced in the prior sentence) to be attached to the Pre-Closing Period Tax Return.

 

(c) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns of the Company for Straddle Periods. To the extent such Tax Returns relate to the Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period, Buyer shall provide Seller Representative with reasonable opportunity to review and comment on each such Tax Return described in the preceding sentence before filing, and shall make changes to such Tax Returns reasonably requested by Seller Representative. Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of the amount equal to the portion of such Taxes, if any, that relates to the Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period, and shall pay to Buyer such amounts not less than five (5) days before the filing of any such Straddle Period Tax Return. At the option of Seller Representative, or if Seller Representative is unable to collect the amount equal to the portion of such Taxes, if any, that relates to the Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period, such amount may be paid to Buyer by any of the mechanisms set forth in Section 10.4. For purposes of this Agreement, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax which relates to the Pre-Closing Partial Tax Period shall (i) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis (such as real or personal property Taxes), the amount of such Taxes for the Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant Straddle Period, and (ii) in the case of any other Tax, be deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the relevant taxable period ended as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Any credits relating to a Straddle Period shall be taken into account as though the Straddle Period ended on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to give effect to the foregoing allocations shall be made in a manner consistent with the past practices of the Company.

 

 - 54 - 
 

 

(d) Seller Representative and Buyer agree to consult and resolve in good faith any disputes arising as a result of the review of the Tax Returns described in Section 10.1(b) and 10.1(c) and to mutually consent to the filing as promptly as possible of such Tax Return. In the event Seller Representative and Buyer are unable to resolve any dispute within 10 days following notice of comments to the applicable Tax Return, then the Company may file such Tax Return on or before the due date (including extensions) therefor without such determination having been made and without the consent of Sellers.

 

10.2 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, excise, VAT, sales, use, stamp, filing, recordation, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest with respect thereto) incurred or payable, if any, resulting directly from the Transactions (the “Transfer Taxes”), shall be paid by Sellers when due and the Party primarily or customarily responsible under applicable local Law for filing such Tax Returns shall file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation when due with respect to all such Transfer Taxes and such Party shall use its reasonable efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other Party at least 10 calendar days prior to the due date for such Tax Returns. If required by applicable Law, the other Party or Parties shall join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation (the expense of which shall be paid one-half by Buyer and one-half by Sellers).

 

10.3 Assistance and Cooperation.

 

(a) After the Closing Date, each of Seller Representative, Buyer and the Company shall:

 

(i) assist the other Party (at no expense to such other Party) in preparing any Tax Returns that such other Party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 10.1 or in preparing any financial statements, including affording reasonable access to books, records and personnel;

 

(ii) keep the other Party fully informed (at no expense of such other Party) of the progress and substance of the preparation of any Tax Returns described in Article 10 for which such other Party is not primarily responsible;

 

(iii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with Governmental Entities regarding, any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company and take any actions reasonably requested by the other Party in connection therewith;

 

(iv) make available to one another and to any Governmental Entity, as reasonably requested in connection with any Tax Return described in Section 10.1 or any Tax Claim, all information relating to any Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company; and

 

 - 55 - 
 

 

(v) furnish one another with copies of all correspondence received from any Governmental Entity in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period.

 

(b) The Parties agree to report consistently, for all income tax purposes, amounts paid by or on behalf of the Company to satisfy payments due under any retention agreements to the extent such amounts are included as a payment at Closing, as a compensation expense of the Company on the income Tax Return of the Company for the period ending on the Closing Date.

 

10.4 Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The Parties shall treat for Tax purposes any indemnity payment made pursuant to this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.
