Unless the context requires otherwise, terms and phrases with their initial letters capitalized used but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings given to them in ARTICLE XI.
RECITALS
A. Seller is the record and beneficial owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.50 par value per share, and Class B Common Stock, $0.50 par value per share, of the Company (collectively, the “Shares”).
B. Buyer desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller desires to sell to Buyer, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Shares, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof (the “Acquisition”).
C. Parent, Seller, the Company and Buyer desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Acquisition and also to prescribe various conditions to the Acquisition as provided herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual representations, warranties and agreements contained herein, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
Article I.
PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
i..Purchase and Sale of Shares. At the Closing, and pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase, acquire and accept from Seller, all right, title and interest in and to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens. The aggregate purchase price for the Shares shall be an amount equal to the Net Initial Purchase Price, subject to adjustment as provided herein.
ii..Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Acquisition shall take place via the electronic exchange of documents and signatures on the later of January 4, 2021 and three (3) Business Days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction and waiver of such conditions), or on such other date and place as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree. The date on which the Closing occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date,” and the Closing shall be effective for all purposes as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on the Closing Date.
1
Article II.
PURCHASE PRICE
i..Payments by Buyer at Closing. On the Closing Date, Buyer shall make the following payments by wire transfer of immediately available funds:
(1)to Seller, an amount equal to the Net Initial Purchase Price, minus the Indemnity Escrow Amount;
(2)to the Escrow Agent, the Indemnity Escrow Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement;
(3)on the Company’s behalf, the amount necessary to repay in full the amount of all Debt (other than any SBA PPP Loans that remain outstanding with respect to which no final forgiveness determination has been made by the SBA) required to be paid at Closing as set forth in Payoff Letters to be delivered by the Company to Buyer not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, such payments to be remitted to the accounts and in the amounts specified in such Payoff Letters;
(4)on the Company’s behalf, the amount necessary to pay the Transaction Expenses that remain unpaid as of the Closing, such payments to be remitted to the accounts and in the amounts specified by the Company not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and
(5)to the SBA PPP Loan Lender, the SBA PPP Loan Escrow Amount, if any, in accordance with Section 6.14.
ii..Closing Net Working Capital and Closing Cash Adjustments.
(1)No less than two (2) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer the Company’s good faith estimate of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital as of the anticipated Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”) and (ii) the Closing Cash as of the anticipated Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Cash”). The Company’s estimates shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP in the manner applied in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements.
(2)Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller a statement setting forth Buyer’s determination of (i) the Closing Net Working Capital and (ii) the Closing Cash (the “Closing Statement”) showing in reasonable detail any and all changes reflected therein from the amounts reflected in the statement of Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and the statement of Estimated Closing Cash delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(a). The Closing Statement shall be based upon the books and records of the Company and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP in the manner applied in the preparation of the Company Financial Statements.
2
(3)The Closing Statement shall be final and binding on the Parties unless Seller delivers to Buyer a written notice of disagreement with the Closing Statement within sixty (60) days following the receipt thereof. Such written notice shall describe the nature of any such disagreement in reasonable detail, identifying the specific items as to which Seller disagrees and shall be accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation. During such sixty (60) day period, Buyer shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to provide Seller and its advisors with reasonable on-site access and access via telephone and e-mail communications and transmissions during regular business hours and upon reasonable notice to all relevant books and records and employees (including key accounting and finance personnel) of the Company and its Subsidiaries to the extent necessary to review the matters and information used to prepare and to support the Closing Statement, all in a manner not unreasonably interfering with the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries. If Seller delivers a notice of disagreement in a timely manner, then Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve all such matters identified in such notice. If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days after the receipt by Buyer of the notice of disagreement (or such longer period as may be agreed by Buyer and Seller), then the remaining disputed matters shall be promptly submitted to the Accounting Arbitrator for binding resolution. The Accounting Arbitrator will consider only those items and amounts set forth in the Closing Statement as to which Buyer and Seller have disagreed, shall resolve such disagreements in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and shall not resolve any particular amount in dispute to be an amount less than the lowest amount claimed by one of the parties or an amount higher than the highest amount claimed by one of the parties. The Accounting Arbitrator shall issue a written report containing a final Closing Statement setting forth its determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Cash, which determination shall be final and binding upon Buyer and Seller. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator incurred in connection with the determination of the disputed items shall be paid by Seller and by Buyer based on the relative success of their positions as compared to the final determination of the Accounting Arbitrator. (By way of example, if Buyer has taken the position that the Closing Net Working Capital was $1,000,000 less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital and Seller has taken the position that the Closing Net Working Capital was $500,000 greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital (and the Parties had otherwise agreed on the Closing Cash) and the Accounting Arbitrator finally determines that the Closing Net Working Capital was equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, then Buyer shall pay two thirds of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator and Seller shall pay one third of the fees and expenses of the Accounting Arbitrator.) Buyer and Seller shall, and Buyer shall cause the Company to, cooperate fully with the Accounting Arbitrator and respond on a timely basis to all requests for information or access to documents or personnel made by the Accounting Arbitrator, all with the intent to fairly and in good faith resolve all disputes relating to the Closing Statement as promptly as reasonably practicable.
(4)If the amount equal to the Closing Net Working Capital plus the Closing Cash, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.2(c), is less than the amount equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital plus the Estimated Closing Cash (a “Working Capital Decrease”), then the amount of such Working Capital Decrease shall be paid by Seller or Parent within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Net Working
3
Capital and the Closing Cash to Buyer in the amounts set forth on a written notice delivered by Buyer, which shall also include appropriate wire instructions. If the amount equal to Closing Net Working Capital plus Closing Cash, as finally determined in accordance with Section 2.2(c), is greater than the amount equal to the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital plus the Estimated Closing Cash (a “Working Capital Increase”), then the amount of such Working Capital Increase shall be paid by Buyer or the Company by wire transfer within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Net Working Capital and the Closing Cash to Seller in the amounts set forth on a written notice delivered by Seller, which shall also include appropriate wire instructions. All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) shall be calculated as an adjustment to the Net Initial Purchase Price.
iii..Escrow Arrangements.
(1)At the Closing, Seller and Buyer shall enter into an Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Escrow Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, Buyer shall deposit an amount in cash equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount in the Escrow Account in order to provide Buyer with a source of funds for satisfaction of any amounts owing from Seller or Parent to any Buyer Indemnified Party resulting from Losses required to be indemnified by Seller and Parent under Article IX.
(2)Distributions from the Indemnity Escrow Account to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, shall be made as provided in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
iv..Withholding; Deductions. Each of Buyer and the Company, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable by it pursuant to this Agreement any withholding Taxes or other amounts required by Law to be deducted and withheld. To the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid prior to the Closing to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Company shall claim all properly-allowable Income Tax deductions with respect to the payment of any Transaction Expenses and the payment of any Debt, in each case at or within 75 days following the Closing, on the final Tax Returns for the Tax period ending on the Closing Date, and Buyer shall not take any action, or permit the Company to take any action inconsistent therewith.
Article III.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO PARENT AND SELLER
Subject to such exceptions as are disclosed in the disclosure letter dated the date of this Agreement and delivered herewith to Buyer (the “Disclosure Letter”) referencing the appropriate Section or subsection of this ARTICLE III (or as may be otherwise reasonably apparent as responsive to any other Section of this ARTICLE III), Parent and Seller hereby represent and warrant to Buyer, on a joint and several basis, as follows:
i..Authority. Each of Parent and Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. Each of Parent and Seller has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its
4
obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Seller of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary and proper action on the part of each of Parent and Seller. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Seller, enforceable against them in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
ii..No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Parent and Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by Parent and Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, (i) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Shares, (ii) conflict with the Constitutional Documents of Parent or Seller, as amended to date, or (iii) result in a material breach or violation of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default or event of default, or create a right of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of any material rights under any material Contract of Parent or Seller or any Law, Permit or Judgment to which Parent, Seller or the Shares are subject (excluding, in the case of this clause (iii), any such Law, Permit or Judgment the violation of which, and any Contract the acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not (A) given, and would not reasonably be expected to give, rise to a material liability to Parent, Seller or their Subsidiaries (B) materially and adversely affected, and would not reasonably be expected to affect, their ability to operate their businesses as presently conducted in compliance with applicable Law, or (C) materially impaired, and would not reasonably be expected to materially impair, their ability to perform and comply in all material respects with all of their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby).
iii..Title to Shares. Seller is a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of Parent. Seller is the record and beneficial owner of all of the Shares, free and clear of all Liens and restrictions on transfer other than those arising under federal or state securities laws or as set forth on Section 3.3 of the Disclosure Letter. Other than with respect to securities law restrictions, no legends or other reference to any purported Lien appears upon any Certificate representing the Shares. There are no Contracts or other agreements relating to sale or transfer of the Shares other than this Agreement. At the Closing, assuming Buyer has the requisite power and authority to be the lawful owner of the Shares, Seller shall transfer to Buyer good and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens.
iv..No Legal Action. There is no Legal Action pending, or to the knowledge of Parent or Seller threatened, against or affecting Seller, Parent or any of their respective properties or assets or otherwise that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of either Parent or Seller to perform its respective obligations pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner or that in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement.
5
v..Solvency. Each of Seller and Parent (individually and on a consolidated basis with their respective Subsidiaries) is, and immediately after giving effect to the consummation of the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) will be able to pay its respective debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent liabilities) as they become due and payable, (ii) will own property which has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay its debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent liabilities), and (iii) will have adequate capital to carry on its business. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud current creditors of Parent, Seller or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.
vi..No Other Representations. Except for the representations and warranties made in this ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV or in the Transaction Documents, neither Parent, Seller nor any other Person (including any Subsidiary of the Company or any director, officer, manager, employee, Affiliate, advisor, agent or other representative of the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company) makes or has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, relating or with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby to Buyer or any other Person. Except as set forth in ARTICLE IX with respect to intentional fraud or willful misconduct, neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective stockholders, directors, officers, managers, employees, Affiliates, advisors, agents or other representatives, will have or be subject to any liability to Buyer or any other Person resulting from the use by Buyer or its representatives or advisors of any financial information, financial projections, forecasts, budgets or any other document or information furnished to Buyer or any other Person (including information in the “data site” maintained by the Company or Xxxxxx or provided in any formal or informal management presentation); provided, however, that the foregoing does not limit Buyer’s rights to recovery set forth in ARTICLE IX based on any breach of any of the representations and warranties expressly made in this ARTICLE III and in ARTICLE IV.
Article IV.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES AS TO THE COMPANY
Subject to such exceptions as are disclosed in the Disclosure Letter referencing the appropriate Section or subsection of this ARTICLE IV (or as may be otherwise reasonably apparent as responsive to any other Section of this ARTICLE IV), Parent and Seller hereby represent and warrant to Buyer, on a joint and several basis, as follows:

iv..Authority. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary and proper corporate action on the part of the Company.

v..No Conflict.

The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods indicated, except for the absence of footnotes, and in accordance with the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records. The Company Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein, subject, in the case of the unaudited interim Company Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments.
(2)All accounts and notes receivable of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Accounts Receivable”) represent valid balances arising from bona fide arm’s length transactions actually made by them in the Ordinary Course of Business. Except as set forth in Section 4.7(b) of the Disclosure Letter, all Accounts Receivable (i) to the Company’s Knowledge, are collectible (net of reserves reflected in the 2020 Company Balance Sheet), (ii) represent legal, valid and binding obligations for services actually performed or products delivered by such Company and are enforceable in accordance with their terms, (iii) are not subject to any Legal Action, and (iv) are not subject to any further performance by the Company or its Subsidiaries for such accounts receivable to be payable by the account debtor thereof.

9

(4)Except as set forth in Section 4.20(d) of the Disclosure Letter, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will, either alone or together with another event, (i) result in any payment (including, without limitation, severance, unemployment compensation, golden parachute, forgiveness of indebtedness or otherwise) becoming due under any Company Employee Plan, whether or not such payment is contingent, (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable or result in any forgiveness of indebtedness under any Company Employee Plan or other arrangement, or (iii) result in the acceleration of the time of payment, vesting or funding of any benefits, whether or not contingent.

To the Company’s Knowledge, no act or event has occurred or circumstance exists that may result in a material increase in premium or benefit costs of any Company Employee Plan. No Company Employee Plan has been declared to be fully or partially terminated, nor has any act or event occurred pursuant to which any Company Employee Plan could be ordered to be terminated, in whole or in part, by any Governmental Entity.

(9)No amounts payable under any Company Employee Plan or otherwise payable in connection with the Closing fails or will fail to be deductible for federal income tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Code.

(10)Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, has made any promises or commitments to create any additional plan, or to modify or change in any material way any existing Company Employee Plan.

No event, condition or circumstance exists that would prevent the amendment or termination of any Company Employee Plan without cost to the Company, except in connection with any additional benefits or costs (of which the Company has no current Knowledge) that may be associated with complying with laws enacted pursuant to COVID 19 relief measures and any other similar federal or state law.
(11)Each Company Employee Plan that is a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (within the meaning of Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code) has been operated in good faith compliance with Section 409A of the Code, IRS Notice 2005-1, Treasury Regulations issued under Section 409A of the Code, and any subsequent guidance relating thereto, and no additional tax under Section 409A(a)(1)(B) of the Code has been or is reasonably expected to be incurred by a participant in any such U.S. Company Employee Plan, and no employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries is entitled to any gross-up or otherwise entitled to indemnification by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company or any ERISA Affiliate for any violation of Section 409A of the Code.
(12)Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries has used the services or workers provided by third party contract labor suppliers, temporary employees, “leased employees” (as that term is defined in Section 414(n) of the Code), or individuals who have provided services as independent contractors, to an extent that would reasonably be expected to result in the disqualification of any of the Company Employee Plans or the imposition of penalties or excise taxes with respect to any of the Company Employee Plans by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation.
(13)As of the date of this Agreement, there have been no, nor to the Company’s Knowledge are there any facts that would reasonably be expected to give rise to, any

30
the ownership, leasing, holding or use of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except such other jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or licensed or in good standing would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner.
ii..Authority. Buyer has all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all of its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated to be performed by it under this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary and proper action on its part. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
iii..No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby does not and will not, with or without the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, (i) conflict with Buyer’s Constitutional Documents, as amended to date, or (ii) result in a material breach or material violation of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a material default or event of default, or create a right of acceleration, termination or cancellation or a loss of any material rights under any material Contract of Buyer or any Law, Permit or Judgment to which Buyer or any of its properties or assets are subject (excluding, in the case of this clause (iii), any such Law, Permit or Judgment the violation of which, individually or in the aggregate, has not (A) given, and would not reasonably be expected to give, rise to a material liability to Buyer or its Subsidiaries, or (B) materially and adversely affected, and would not reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect, their ability to operate their businesses as presently conducted in compliance with applicable Law in all material respects, or (C) materially impaired, and would not reasonably be expected to materially impair, their ability to perform and comply in all material respects with all of their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby).
iv..Consents. No consent, waiver, approval or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, or notice to any Governmental Entity or other Person is required by, or with respect to, Buyer in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for any filings that are required under any applicable federal or state securities Laws.
v..No Legal Actions. There is no Legal Action pending or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened, against or affecting Buyer or any of its properties or assets or otherwise that would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Buyer to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in a timely manner or that in any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement.
31
vi..Financing. Buyer has delivered to the Company true and complete copies of a commitment letter, dated October 28, 2020 (the “Financing Commitment”), between Buyer and Community Trust Bank, Inc. (“CTB”), pursuant to which CTB has agreed to lend the amounts set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”) for the purpose of funding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(2)by either Buyer, on the one hand, or Seller, on the other hand, if (i) the Closing has not occurred by February 15, 2021 (or such later date as shall be mutually agreed to in writing by Buyer and Seller) (the “Outside Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(b)(i) shall not be available to any Party whose action or failure to fulfill any obligation hereunder has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date and such action or failure constitutes a breach of this Agreement; (ii) there shall be a final non-appealable order of a Governmental Entity in effect prohibiting consummation of the Acquisition; provided, however, that the terms of this Section 8.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to the terminating Party (A) if such order or action was caused by the action or the failure to act of the terminating Party and such action or failure constitutes a breach of this Agreement by such Party or (B) such terminating Party did not use its commercially reasonable efforts to oppose any such order or action or to have such governmental order vacated or made inapplicable to this Agreement; or (iii) there shall be any Law enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Acquisition by any Governmental Entity that in the opinion of counsel of the terminating Party would make consummation of the Acquisition illegal;
(3)by Buyer (i) if there shall have been any action taken, or any Law enacted, promulgated or issued or deemed applicable to the Acquisition, by any Governmental Entity, which would (A) prohibit Buyer’s ownership or operation of any material portion of the business
44
of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (B) compel Buyer to dispose of or hold separate, as a result of the Acquisition, any material portion of the business or assets of Buyer, the Company or the Company’s Subsidiaries; or (ii) if Buyer is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of the Company or Seller and, as a result of such breach, the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2, as the case may be, would not then be satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by the Company or Seller prior to the Outside Date through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then Buyer may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(c) prior to the earlier of the Outside Date or that date which is fifteen (15) days following the Company’s receipt of written notice from Buyer of such breach, it being understood that Buyer may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(c) if such breach by the Company or Seller is cured within such fifteen (15) day period so that such conditions would then be satisfied; or (iii) as a result of Buyer not having the funds available as provided in the Financing Commitment and/or Alternative Financing (resulting in the closing condition set forth in Section 7.2(l) not being satisfied) (a “Specified Termination”);
(4)by Seller if the Company and Seller are not in material breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement and there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement on the part of Buyer and as a result of such breach the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3, as the case may be, would not then be satisfied; provided, however, that if such breach is curable by Buyer prior to the Outside Date through the exercise of its commercially reasonable efforts, then Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) prior to the earlier of the Outside Date or that date which is fifteen (15) days following Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller of such breach, it being understood that Seller may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if such breach by Buyer is cured within such fifteen (15) day period so that such conditions would then be satisfied.
(5)Where action is taken to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, it shall be sufficient for such action to be authorized by the board of directors or similar governing body of the Party taking such action.
ii..Reverse Termination Fee. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer in connection with a Specified Termination, Buyer shall pay to Seller (or its designees), as the Seller Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy, an amount equal to Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Reverse Termination Fee”) in immediately available funds within two (2) Business Days after the date of such termination. Each of the Parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 8.2 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, (ii) in light of the difficulty of accurately determining actual damages with respect to the foregoing upon any Specified Termination, the right to payment of the Reverse Termination Fee constitutes a reasonable estimate of the losses that will be suffered by reason of any such Specified Termination and constitutes liquidated damages (and not a penalty). Accordingly, the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Seller, Parent and their respective Affiliates as a result of or following any
45
Specified Termination against Buyer and each of its former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, Affiliates, representatives or assignees and any and all former, current or future equity holders, controlling Persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, management companies, members, stockholders, Affiliates or assignees of any of the foregoing, and any and all former, current or future heirs, executors, administrators, trustees, successors or assigns of any of the foregoing, (each, a “Buyer Related Party,” and collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”) in respect of this Agreement, any Contract or agreement executed in connection herewith and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be to collect the Reverse Termination Fee and upon payment of such amount, no Buyer Related Party shall have any other liability or obligation for any or all Losses suffered or incurred by any Seller Party or any of their respective Affiliates (including the termination hereof), the transactions contemplated hereby (and the abandonment thereof) or any matter forming the basis for such termination, and neither Seller, any other Seller Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Buyer Related Parties arising out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis for such termination.
iii..Effect of Termination. Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.3 any termination of this Agreement under Section 8.1 will be effective immediately upon the delivery of written notice of such termination by the terminating Party to the other Parties. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect, except that (i) Section 8.2 and this Section 8.3 and ARTICLE XII shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and (ii) nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination or relieve Buyer from its obligation to pay the Reverse Termination Fee in the event of a Specified Termination. No termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties to the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
Article IX.
INDEMNIFICATION
i..Survival of Representations and Warranties.
(1)The representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained in this Agreement other than the Seller Fundamental Representations shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”); provided, however, that the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained in Section 3.1 (Authority), Section 3.3 (Title to Shares), Section 3.5 (Solvency), Section 4.1 (Organization and Qualification of the Company), Section 4.2 (Organization and Qualification of Subsidiaries), Section 4.3 (Capitalization) and Section 4.4 (Authority), Section 4.18 (Environmental Matters), Section 4.20 (Employee Benefit Plans), Section 4.21(Tax Matters), Section 4.25 (Brokers’ and Finders’ Fees) (collectively, the “Seller Fundamental Representations”), and the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Section 5.1 (Organization of Buyer), Section 5.2 (Authority) and Section 5.9 (Brokers’ and Finders’ Fees)
46
(collectively, the “Buyer Fundamental Representations”), shall survive the Closing until sixty (60) days after the expiration of the statute of limitations for any claim hereunder relating to the matters covered by the applicable Fundamental Representations (the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained in this Agreement, other than the Seller Fundamental Representations, are referred to herein as the “General Representations”); provided, further that all representations and warranties shall survive beyond the Expiration Date or other survival period specified above with respect to any inaccuracy therein or breach thereof if a claim is made hereunder in writing setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor prior to the Expiration Date or other survival period specified above, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved.
(2)The representations and warranties of Buyer contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and terminate on the Expiration Date, other than the Buyer Fundamental Representations, which shall survive for the period set forth in Section 9.1(a); provided, however, that all representations and warranties of Buyer shall survive beyond the Expiration Date or other survival periods specified above with respect to any inaccuracy therein or breach thereof if a claim is made hereunder in writing setting forth the specific claim and the basis therefor prior to the Expiration Date, in which case such representation and warranty shall survive as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved. For the avoidance of doubt, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the foregoing respective survival periods and termination dates set forth in Section 9.1(a) and Section 9.1(b) supersede any applicable statutes of limitations that would otherwise apply to such representations and warranties.
ii..Indemnification.
(1)Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, Seller and Parent (together, the “Seller Indemnitors”) shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, the Company, their Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, stockholders, employees, partners, members, managers and agents and (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such Buyer Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of, with respect to or in connection with:
(a)a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by any of the Seller Parties in this Agreement;
(b)any failure by any Seller Party to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by the Company prior to the Closing or by any other Seller Party at any time;
(c)any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty made in Section 4.21;
(d)all Taxes of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries or relating to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, including, without limitation, Taxes of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries for any Straddle Period that ends at the close of business on the Closing Date as determined under Section 10.3;
47
(e)any Debt outstanding as of the Closing Date that is not taken into account in determining the Net Initial Purchase Price, including, without limitation, any portion of an SBA PPP Loan that is not forgiven in full in accordance with Section 1106 of the CARES Act; and
(f)any Transaction Expenses that are not taken into account in determining the Net Initial Purchase Price.
(2)Subject to the other provisions of this ARTICLE IX, Buyer and the Company (the “Buyer Indemnitors”) shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, Parent and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, partners, members, agents and Affiliates (the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by any such Seller Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly as a result of, with respect to or in connection with:
(a)a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties made by Buyer in this Agreement;
(b)any failure by Buyer to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein to be performed, fulfilled or complied with by Buyer at any time; and
(c)any Post Closing Guaranty Liabilities.
(3)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of determining both (i) whether a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, or any failure of a Party to fully perform, fulfill or comply with any covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement, has occurred, and (ii) calculating the amount of any Losses for which any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE IX, all “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and similar qualifications contained in such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements shall be disregarded.
(4)Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the obligations of the Seller and Parent to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be joint, several and solidary, with the intent of the parties being that each of Seller and Parent shall be liable under this Article IX and Article X to the Buyer Indemnified Parties for any and all amounts that may be due hereunder.
iii..Limitations on Liability.
(1)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller Indemnitors shall be obligated to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement (i) only for Losses that are the subject of claims made prior to the Expiration Date and in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Seller
48
Indemnitors pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) of this Agreement with respect to any and all Losses exceed Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Cap”).
(2)Buyer shall be obligated to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) of this Agreement (i) only for Losses that are the subject of claims made prior to the Expiration Date and in accordance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) of this Agreement; provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate liability of Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2(b)(i) of this Agreement with respect to any and all Losses exceed the Cap.
(3)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither Seller nor Parent shall be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) until such time as the total amount of all Losses that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, or to which any one or more of the Buyer Indemnified Parties, has or have otherwise directly or indirectly become subject, exceeds One Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars $187,500 (the “Deductible”) in the aggregate. Once the total amount of such Losses exceeds the Deductible, then the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to be indemnified and held harmless against and compensated and reimbursed for only that portion of such Losses exceeding the Deductible.
(4)The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE IX shall be calculated net of any amounts actually recovered by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under insurance policies with respect to such Losses (net of any costs to recover such insurance payments).
(5)The amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided under this ARTICLE IX shall be calculated net of any Tax benefits actually realized by the Indemnitee in the taxable period that includes the indemnity payment, any carryback Tax period prior to such taxable period, or the Tax years following such taxable period (solely through a reduction in cash Tax payments required to be made or an increase in Tax refunds actually received), which Tax benefits shall be calculated net of any cash Tax costs, in each case, as a result of the Losses or receipt of an indemnity payment on a claim therefor.
(6)Notwithstanding the fact that any Indemnified Party may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover the amount of any Losses suffered by such Indemnified Party more than once, regardless of whether such Losses may be as a result of a breach of more than one representation, warranty or covenant, provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not prevent an Indemnified Party from recovering all Losses to which it is entitled hereunder arising out of the same set of facts, events, conditions or circumstances (but not more than once) notwithstanding the fact that an indemnification claim for such Losses is based upon more than one representation, warranty or covenant.
(7)No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement with respect to Losses arising in connection with a breach of or any inaccuracy in any
49
of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement if and to the extent that the alleged breach relates to a balance sheet asset or liability that was reflected in the calculation of Closing Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.2(c).
(8)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the remedies provided in this ARTICLE IX shall be the exclusive monetary remedies of the Parties and their heirs, successors and assigns after the Closing with respect to a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, except for (i) actions for specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable relief, and (ii) claims for intentional fraud or willful misconduct, in any which case the Parties shall have all rights and remedies available under any Law and available under this Agreement without regard to the Cap.
iv..Defense of Third Party Claims.
(1)In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person, other than a party hereto, of any claim or Legal Action (whether against Buyer, Seller or any other Person) with respect to which the Seller Indemnitors or Buyer, as he case may be (each, an “Indemnitor”), may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9.2 or Section 9.3, as the case may be (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnitor shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim on its own with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee unless: (i) the Third Party Claim is in respect of any matter involving criminal liability of an Indemnitee; (ii) the Third Party Claims seeks Losses in excess of the amount for which the Indemnitor may be liable under this Agreement; or (iii) the Third Party Claim seeks as the primary cause of action the imposition of an equitable or injunctive remedy against the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates (other than equitable relief that is ancillary to claim for monetary damages). If the Indemnitor so proceeds with the defense of any such Third Party Claim:
(a)the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnitor any documents and materials in his, her or its and in his, her or its Affiliates’ possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that any confidential or privileged materials shall not be disclosed by the Indemnitee other than as needed for such defense, and the Indemnitor agrees to enter into a commercially reasonable confidentiality and non-use agreement with the Indemnitee with respect to such information;
(b)the Indemnitee may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee will be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate co-counsel at the expense of the Indemnitor if based on the written opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, a conflict between the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor exists that would make such separate representation advisable; provided further, however, that the Indemnitor shall not be required to pay for more than one (1) such counsel for all Indemnitees in connection with such Third Party Claim; and
(c)the Indemnitor may not settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnitee (it being understood that if the Indemnitor requests that the Indemnitee consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Indemnitee
50
shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent); provided, however, that no such consent shall be required if: (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law or suggestion of any wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnitee; (B) each Indemnitee that is a party to such Third Party Claim is fully and unconditionally released from liability with respect to such claim, without prejudice; and (C) as a result of such settlement, adjustment or compromise, no injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnitee.
(2)If the Indemnitor does not elect or is not entitled to proceed with the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall proceed with the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitee may not settle, adjust or compromise any such Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An Indemnitee shall give the applicable Indemnitor prompt notice of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim against the Indemnitee; provided, however, that any failure on the part of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnitor under this Article IX (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Third Party Claim).
v..Indemnification Claim Procedures.
(1)If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered Losses for which it is or may be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed under this Article IX or for which it is entitled to a monetary remedy, such Indemnitee may deliver a written notice of claim (a “Notice of Claim”) to the applicable Indemnitor (and, in the case the Notice of Claim is delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee, to the Escrow Agent, to the extent funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account). Each Notice of Claim shall: (i) state that such Indemnitee believes in good faith that such Indemnitee is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article IX or is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy; (ii) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitee’s claim; and (iii) contain a good faith, non-binding, preliminary estimate of the aggregate amount of the actual Losses that the Indemnitee believes have arisen as a result of such facts and circumstances (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by such Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, and at all times subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).
(2)During the twenty (20)-day period commencing upon delivery by an Indemnitee to the applicable Indemnitor of a Notice of Claim (the “Claim Dispute Period”), the applicable Indemnitor may deliver to the Indemnitee who delivered the Notice of Claim (and, in the case the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee, to the Escrow Agent, to the extent funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account) a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Indemnitor: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount (such agreed portion, the “Agreed Amount”) is owed to the Indemnitee; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee. If the Notice of Claim relates to a Third Party Claim, the Response Notice shall also specify whether or not the Indemnitor desires to assume control of the
51
defense of such Third Party Claim. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitor’s claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Indemnitor asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee) is referred to in this Agreement as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith modifications by the Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount).
(3)If the Indemnitor delivers a Response Notice agreeing that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee or fails to deliver a Response Notice prior to the end of the Claim Dispute Period, then within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of such Response Notice by the Indemnitee or, if no Response Notice is delivered before the end of the Claim Dispute Period, within three (3) Business Days following end of the Claim Dispute Period, the Indemnitor shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, pay to the applicable Indemnitee an amount in cash equal to the full Claimed Amount (or, in the case the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee and funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account, Seller and Buyer shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the full Claimed Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account)); provided, however, that, if the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee and the funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account are insufficient to cover the Claimed Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Seller Indemnitors shall promptly pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee the amount by which the Claimed Amount exceeds the remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account.
(4)If the Indemnitor delivers a Response Notice during the Claim Dispute Period agreeing that less than the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Indemnitee, then within three (3) Business Days following the receipt of such Response Notice, the Indemnitor shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, pay to the applicable Indemnitee an amount in cash equal to the Agreed Amount (or, in the case the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee and funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account, Seller and Buyer shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Agreed Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account)); provided, however, that, if the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee and the funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account are insufficient to cover the Agreed Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Seller Indemnitors shall promptly pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee the amount by which the Agreed Amount exceeds the remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account.
(5)If the Indemnitor delivers a Response Notice during the Claim Dispute Period indicating that there is a Contested Amount, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Indemnitee
52
and the Indemnitor resolve such dispute, a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to the Indemnitee (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by the Indemnitee and the Indemnitor. Within three (3) Business Days following the execution of such settlement agreement (or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in the settlement agreement), the Indemnitor shall, subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE IX, pay to the applicable Indemnitee an amount in cash equal to the Stipulated Amount (or, in the case the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee and funds remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account, Seller and Buyer shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount in cash equal to the Stipulated Amount (or such lesser amount as may remain in the Indemnity Escrow Account)); provided, however, that, if the Notice of Claim was delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee and the funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account are insufficient to cover the Stipulated Amount, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, the Seller Indemnitors shall promptly pay to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee the amount by which the Stipulated Amount exceeds the remaining funds in the Indemnity Escrow Account.
(6)In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Notice of Claim or any Contested Amount (whether it is a matter between any Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the applicable Indemnitor, on the other hand, or it is a matter that is subject to a Third Party Claim brought against any Indemnitee), that remains unresolved after application of the terms of this Section 9.5, such dispute shall be settled in accordance with Section 12.10.
vi..Indemnity Escrow Amount Release.
(1)If the funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, including any interest accrued or income otherwise earned thereon, as of the Expiration Date (the “Indemnity Escrow Balance”) exceed the aggregate dollar amount, as of the Expiration Date, of Claimed Amounts and Contested Amounts associated with all indemnification claims contained in any Notice of Claim delivered by a Buyer Indemnitee that have not been finally resolved and paid prior to the Expiration Date in accordance with Section 9.5 (each, an “Unresolved Indemnity Escrow Claim” and the aggregate dollar amount of such Claimed Amounts and Contested Amounts as of the Expiration Date being referred to as the “Pending Claim Amount”), then Buyer and Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days following the Expiration Date, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Account an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Balance minus the Pending Claim Amount to Seller.
(2)Following the Expiration Date, if an Unresolved Indemnity Escrow Claim is finally resolved, Buyer and Seller shall, within three (3) Business Days after the final resolution of such Unresolved Indemnity Escrow Claim, deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Indemnity Escrow Account: (i) to the applicable Buyer Indemnitee an amount determined in accordance with Section 9.5, and (ii) to Seller an amount equal to the amount (if any) by which the amount of funds remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, including any interest accrued or income otherwise earned
53
thereon, as of the date of resolution of such Unresolved Indemnity Escrow Claim exceeds the aggregate amount of the remaining Pending Claim Amount.
vii..Purchase Price Adjustment. All amounts paid under this ARTICLE IX shall, to the extent permitted by Law, be treated as an adjustment to the consideration being paid for the Shares.
Article X.
TAX MATTERS
i..Tax Covenants.
(1)Without the prior written consent of Buyer, each Seller Party (and, prior to the Closing, the Company, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives) shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, the Company, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of Buyer or the Company in respect of any Post-Closing Tax Period. Each Seller Party agrees that Buyer is to have no liability for any Tax resulting from any action of any Seller Party, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset. To the extent permitted under applicable law, each of the Parent, the Seller, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries and the Buyer shall close or terminate (or cause to be closed or terminated), as of the close of business on the Closing Date, each Tax period relating to each of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries.
(2)To the extent not filed prior hereto, the Parent and the Seller shall prepare or cause to be prepared, in accordance with applicable law and consistent with past practice, each Standalone Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than a Pre-Closing Tax Period that is part of a Straddle Period) and any other Company Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period. In the event a Section 338(h)(10) Election is made, all such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with the Allocation Schedule to the extent applicable. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which a Standalone Tax Return for such a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Parent and the Seller shall deliver such Standalone Tax Return to the Buyer. No later than five (5) days prior to the date on which a Standalone Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Buyer may request reasonable changes and revisions be made to such Standalone Tax Return. The Parent and the Seller shall cooperate fully in making any reasonable changes and revisions to any Standalone Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Tax Period. At least three (3) days prior to the date on which a Standalone Tax Return (as reasonably revised based on requests by the Buyer) for a Pre-Closing Tax Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Parent and the Seller shall pay to the Buyer an amount equal to any Tax due with respect to such Standalone Tax Return or the Pre-Closing Tax Period (other than any such Tax taken into account under any working capital, similar adjustment or indemnification), and the Buyer shall file such Standalone Tax Return.
54
(3)Except for any Tax Return to which Section 10.1(b) applies, the Buyer shall prepare and file each Company Tax Return for any Post-Closing Tax Period or any Straddle Period in accordance with applicable law. At least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return for a Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), the Buyer shall deliver such Company Tax Return to the Parent and the Seller. No later than five (5) days prior to the date on which a Company Tax Return for any Straddle Period is due (after taking into account any valid extension), each of the Parent and the Seller may make reasonable changes and revisions to such Company Tax Return.
