PURCHASE AND SALE
2.1 | Purchase and Sale of Purchased Shares |
Upon and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, effective as of the date at which the Master SPA and each of the other Individual Shareholder SPAs become effective (the “Closing Date”), the Vendor hereby sells to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Vendor, on the Closing Date, the Purchased Shares, such Purchased Shares
- 6 -
representing all of the issued and outstanding shares in the capital of the Corporation held by the Vendor.
2.2 | Purchase Price |
2.2.1 | The aggregate purchase price payable by the Purchaser to the Vendor for the Purchased Shares is equal to the purchase price set forth on the execution page of this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”). |
2.2.2 | In respect of the Purchase Price, the Vendor acknowledges and agrees to the following: |
(a) | The Purchase Price contemplated herein (1) (i) is based on the estimated purchase price pursuant to which the Major Vendors shall sell their respective Class A and Class B shares in the share capital of the Corporation pursuant to the Master SPA, and (b) also takes into consideration the purchase price pursuant to which the Major Vendors shall sell their Class D preferred shares in the share capital of the Corporation pursuant to the Master SPA, and (2) is not subject to any adjustment, except in connection with the indemnification provisions set out in Article 5; |
(b) | The Purchase Price per Purchased Share contemplated hereunder is equal to the purchase price per Class C share sold by each of the other vendors under the other Individual Shareholder SPAs; |
(c) | The Master SPA contemplates purchase price adjustments in respect of the amount of cash, indebtedness and working capital of the Corporation and its subsidiaries on the Closing Date, with such purchase price adjustments being effected post-closing. Those purchase price adjustments set out in the Master SPA shall pertain to all of the consideration payable to the Major Vendors and to the individual vendors selling shares to the Purchaser pursuant to Individual Shareholder SPAs, and, as a result of such post-closing purchase price adjustments, the adjusted purchase price per share at which the Major Vendors shall sell their Class A and Class B shares could be higher or lower than the purchase price per Class C share payable to the Vendor hereunder and to the other vendors under the other Individual Shareholder SPAs (other than the Master SPA), and, as a result of such adjustments, the aggregate purchase price pursuant to which the Major Vendors shall sell their shares in the share capital of the Corporation (Class A, Class B and Class D preferred shares) could be increased or decreased; |
(d) | For the avoidance of doubt, (i) if such purchase price adjustments under the Master SPA increase the consideration payable to the Major Vendors under the Master SPA, the Vendor (or any other vendor under Individual Shareholder SPAs) shall not be entitled to any further consideration under this Agreement (or under any other Individual Shareholder SPAs) and |
- 7 -
undertakes to assert no Claim or initiate any Action claiming any right or entitlement in connection with any such increase, and (ii) if such purchase price adjustments under the Master SPA decrease the consideration payable to the Major Vendors under the Master SPA, the Vendor (or any other vendor under any other Individual Shareholder SPA) shall not be subject to any disgorgement of the Purchase Price payable to him or her hereunder (or to such other vendor under any other Individual Shareholder SPA (other than the Master SPA));
(e) | Furthermore, the Master SPA provides for (a) escrow requirements on the purchase price payable to the Major Vendors, (b) comprehensive representations and warranties in respect of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and their business and affairs, and (c) indemnification obligations in favour of the Purchaser and other persons, that are only supported by the Major Vendors. Any reduction of the purchase price payable to the Major Vendors under the Master SPA as a result of the foregoing obligations of the Major Vendors shall not affect the Purchase Price payable to the Vendor hereunder except to the extent that such reduction stems or results from a breach of the Vendor’s representations and warranties under this Agreement; |
(f) | For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.2.2 shall affect or alter the scope of the Vendor’s representations and warranties under Article 3 hereunder and his or her indemnification obligations under Article 5 hereunder. |
2.3 | Payment at Closing |
The Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, to the Vendors’ Delegate at Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by the Vendors’ Delegate to the Purchaser, an amount equal to the Purchase Price. For the avoidance of doubt, such Purchase Price payable by the Purchaser hereunder may, at the sole election of the Purchaser, be combined or otherwise commingled with the purchase price to be paid under the Master SPA and one, some or all of the other Individual Shareholder SPAs.
