MERGER CONSIDERATION; CONVERSION OR CANCELLATION
OF SHARES IN THE MERGER
3.01. Effect on Capital Stock. As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Lenco, Merger Sub, Jetcast or their respective stockholders:
(a) Jetcast Stock. Each share of Jetcast Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, upon surrender of the Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such share of Jetcast Stock in the manner provided in Section 3.06(b) (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, Section 3.06(h)), shall automatically be converted into and represent the right to receive: (i) a pro rata portion of the Cash Consideration, which shall be paid to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.08; (ii) 4,050,000 shares of Lenco Common Stock divided by 6,862,300 shares of outstanding Jetcast Common Stock, or 0.590181134 (as adjusted by the exercise of up to 435,000 Jetcast stock options prior to the Effective Time, the "Exchange Ratio") of a fully paid and nonassessable share of Lenco Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 3.04 and as adjusted by this Section 3.01(a), the "Stock Consideration"), provided that the aggregate Stock Consideration shall be reduced by the amount of the Specified Accounts Payable set forth in Schedule 3.01(c)(iii) based on the VWAP for such Lenco Common Stock for the 10 day period prior to the Closing Date and subject to holdback pursuant to Section 3.01(e) ; (iii) a pro rata portion of the Contingent Consideration (together with the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration, the "Merger Consideration"). As a result of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each holder of a Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Jetcast Stock represented by such Certificate immediately prior to the Effective Time and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.05, all to be issued or paid, without interest, in consideration therefor upon the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.06(b) (or, in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, Section 3.06(h)).
(b) Contingent Acquisition Consideration. The contingent consideration shall be cash and stock consideration, in addition to the Cash Consideration and Stock Consideration, up to a maximum of $4,250,000 in cash and $20,700,000 of unregistered Lenco Common Stock subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 3.01(b) (the "Contingent Consideration"). Beginning on the first day of the first calendar quarter following the Closing, all Revenue derived from Jetcast related products or services shall be measured for a period of eighteen (18) months (the "Measurement Period"). The cumulative Revenue derived from Jetcast-related products and services to be earned during, and not longer than, the Measurement Period shall be measured in relation to the amount of twenty five million dollars ($25,000,000) (the "Revenue Target"). The exact amount of the Contingent Consideration distributed to the Stockholders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentage on a pro rata basis, if any, shall be determined by the following formula: If, during the Measurement Period, the Revenue derived from Jetcast-related products or services is greater than or equal to the Revenue Target, then the Contingent Consideration shall be the maximum amount of the Contingent Consideration of $4,250,000 in cash and $20,700,000 of unregistered Lenco Common Stock;
8
(i) If, during the Measurement Period, the revenue derived from Jetcast-related products or services is greater than or equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the Revenue Target (no rounding is to occur in this calculation), then the Contingent Consideration shall be that same percentage (revenue during the Measurement Period divided by $25,000,000) of $4,250,000 in cash, and $20,700,000 in Lenco Common Stock.
(ii) If, during the Measurement Period, the revenue derived from Jetcast-related products or services is greater than or equal to fifty percent (50%), but less than seventy-five percent (75%) of $25,000,000 (no rounding is to occur in this calculation), then the Contingent Consideration shall be that amount of the Contingent Consideration that is yielded when the actual revenue derived is divided by $25,000,000 and then multiplied by fifty percent (50%), then multiplied by the $4,250,000 in cash, and $20,700,000 in Lenco Common Stock. For example, if actual revenue derived is $17,500,000 (e.g. 70% $17,500,000/25,000,000) of the Revenue Target), then the Contingent Consideration is 50% of 70% (35%) multiplied by $4,250,000 to yield $1,487,500 in cash, and $20,700,000 to yield $7,245,000 in Lenco Common Stock.
(iii) If, during the Measurement Period, the revenue derived from Jetcast-related products or services is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Revenue Target (no rounding is to occur in this calculation), then the Contingent Consideration shall be $0.00.
(iv) The portion of the Contingent Consideration to be paid in Lenco Common Stock will be paid to the Stockholders in shares of unregistered Lenco Common Stock (the "Contingent Consideration Stock") in accordance with each Stockholder’s respective Pro Rata Percentage. The Contingent Consideration Stock, if any, will be valued at the VWAP for such Lenco Common Stock for the 10 day period prior to payment for the purpose of determining the number of shares of Contingent Consideration Stock. Lenco shall pay the Contingent Consideration Stock and cash portion of the Contingent Consideration, if any, promptly following Lenco’s filing with the SEC of the results for the last quarter of the Measurement Period, subject to Section 3.01(d), (the "Contingent Consideration Payment Time").
(c) Net Working Capital Adjustment Procedure; Preparation of Closing Financial Statements. The Surviving Corporation will prepare and will cause Jetcast’s certified public accountants to review the financial statements of Jetcast as of the Closing Date and for the period from the date of Jetcast’s Interim Financial Statements through the Closing Date ("Closing Financial Statements"), including a computation of Jetcast’s Net Working Capital and the Specified Accounts Payable as of the Closing Date. The Surviving Corporation will deliver the Closing Financial Statements to the Stockholder's Representative within seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date.
9
(i) Procedure for Disputing the Closing Financial Statements. If, within thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Financial Statements, the Stockholders’ Representative has not given the Surviving Corporation notice of their objection to the Closing Financial Statements (such notice must contain a detailed statement of the basis of the Stockholders’ Representative’s objection), then Jetcast’s Net Working Capital and the Specified Accounts Payable as of the Closing Date reflected in the Closing Financial Statements will be used in computing the Net Working Capital Adjustment for all purposes in this Agreement. If Stockholders give such notice of objection, then the issues in dispute will be submitted for resolution to Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP ("Independent Accountant") for resolution (or if such Independent Accountant cannot so serve, by another reputable accounting firm to be jointly selected by the Parties within the following five (5) days). If issues in dispute are submitted to the Independent Accountant for resolution, (A) each Party will furnish to the Independent Accountant such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountant may request and are available to that Party (or its independent public accountants), and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountant any materials relating to the determination and to discuss the determination with the Independent Accountant; (B) the determination by the Independent Accountant, as set forth in a notice delivered to both Parties by the Independent Accountant, will be made within thirty (30) days of submission and will be binding and conclusive on the Parties; and (C) the Surviving Corporation will pay the fees of the Independent Accountant for such determination unless the Independent Auditor’s determination indicates a shortfall of more than three percent (3%) compared to the Net Working Capital reflected in the Closing Financial Statements. The determination by the Independent Accountant of the Adjustment Amount shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall constitute an arbitral award that is final, binding and unappealable and upon which a judgment may be entered by a court having jurisdiction thereof.
(ii) Net Working Capital Adjustment. On the tenth Business Day following the final determination of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date: (A) if Jetcast’s Net Working Capital is greater than $0, the Surviving Corporation will pay the difference to Stockholders based on each Stockholder's Pro Rata Percentage; and (B) if Jetcast’s Net Working Capital is less than $0, each Stockholder shall forfeit in Lenco Common Stock its Pro Rata Percentage of the difference to the Surviving Corporation (the "Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount"). The amount of shares to be forfeited and remain undistributed to the Stockholders from the Stock Holdback Amount shall be calculated as per Section 3.01(e)(i) below.
(iii) Specified Accounts Payable Adjustment. On the tenth Business Day following the final determination of the Specified Accounts Payable as of the Closing Date: (A) if the amount of the Specified Accounts Payable is less than the amount set forth on Section 3.01(c)(iii) of the Jetcast Disclosure Schedule, each Stockholder will be distributed its Pro Rata Percentage of Lenco Common Stock from the Stock Holdback Amount; and (B) if the amount of the Specified Accounts Payable exceeds the amount the amount set forth on Section 3.01(c)(iii) of the Jetcast Disclosure Schedule, each Stockholder shall forfeit in Lenco Common Stock its Pro Rata Percentage of the difference to the Surviving Corporation. The amount of shares to be forfeited and remain undistributed to the Stockholders from the Stock Holdback Amount shall be calculated as per Section 3.01(e)(i) below.
10
(d) Acceleration of Contingent Consideration. In addition to the provisions of Section 3.01(b), above, all contingencies necessary to earn the maximum amount of the Contingent Consideration shall be deemed to have been fully achieved, and Lenco shall make full payment of the Contingent Consideration, upon the occurrence before the end of the Measurement Period of any of the following: (i) neither Xxxx Xxxx nor Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx remains as the highest ranking executive of the Surviving Corporation or Lenco; or (ii) a change in control of Lenco or the Surviving Corporation (individually or collectively a "Triggering Event"). In the event of the occurrence of a Triggering Event, the Contingent Consideration will include full payment of the $4,250,000 in cash which will be a priority distribution post-closing of a change in control. The amount of Contingent Consideration Stock to be issued as a part of the Contingent Consideration upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event shall be determined by dividing (x) $20,700,000 by (y) the VWAP for Lenco Common Stock for the 10 day period prior to payment. At the closing of the change of control event, the Stockholders shall be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Percentage as if the Contingent Consideration Stock were issued just prior to the close of the change of control event.
(e) Holdback Agreement. At the Closing, Lenco will hold back from the Stock Consideration otherwise payable to the Stockholders at Closing 200,000 shares of Lenco Common Stock (the "Stock Holdback Amount"), as security for the adjustments under Section 3.01(c).
(i) If an adjustment with respect to Net Working Capital or the Specified Accounts Payable is required pursuant to Section 3.01(c)(ii)(B) or Section 3.01(c)(iii), then Lenco will deduct from the Stock Holdback Amount (based on the VWAP for such Lenco Common Stock for the 10 day period prior to the Closing Date) the applicable number of shares of Lenco Common Stock to satisfy such adjustments. Any deductions to the Stock Holdback Amount shall be deducted among the Stockholders based on each Stockholder’s Pro Rata Percentage.
(ii) After satisfaction of any adjustments under Section 3.01(e)(i), the remaining Stock Holdback Amount, if any, shall be distributed to the Stockholders based on each Stockholder’s Pro Rata Percentage pursuant to Section 3.06.
(f) Jetcast Options. All stock options of Jetcast outstanding under any stock option or compensation plan, agreement or arrangement of Jetcast that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether or not then vested or exercisable, shall cease to represent a right to acquire Jetcast Stock, shall cease to be outstanding and shall be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
3.02. Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub shall be converted into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, no par value, of the Surviving Corporation.
3.03. Dissenting Shares. Each Dissenting Share shall be converted into the right to receive in cash an amount equal to the fair value thereof determined in accordance with Section 92A.380 of the NCC in accordance with Section 3.07.
3.04. Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Lenco Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Jetcast Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Lenco Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Lenco Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificate(s), receive from Lenco an amount of cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, equal to the product of: (a) such fraction, multiplied by (b) the closing trading price of the Lenco Common Stock on the OTCBB on the second trading day immediately preceding the Closing Date.
11
3.05. Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. Notwithstanding any provision of this ARTICLE III to the contrary (but without in any way limiting the covenants in ARTICLE VII, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the appropriate effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Lenco Common Stock or Jetcast Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification or other like change with respect to Lenco Common Stock or Jetcast Stock having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
3.06. Exchange of Shares and Certificates.

In addition, Lenco shall deposit with the Exchange Agent, at the Contingent Consideration Payment Time, the applicable Contingent Consideration. All cash and Lenco Common Stock deposited with the Exchange Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the "Exchange Fund."
(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Lenco shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Jetcast Stock and that at the Effective Time were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01(a) (the "Certificates"): (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent), and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for Cash Consideration, Stock Consideration and Contingent Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, subject to Sections 2.08 and 2.09, (1) such holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of the Cash Consideration; (2) the number of whole shares of Lenco Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.01(a) (which, as permitted by the bylaws of Lenco, may be issued in uncertificated book entry form); (3) payment in lieu of fractional shares which such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 3.04; (4) any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 3.05; and (5) such Stockholder's Pro Rata Percentage of the Contingent Consideration, and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled.

Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.01(b), each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration (and any amounts to be paid pursuant to Section 3.06(c)) upon such surrender. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.06(c) or Section 3.06(e).

At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Jetcast shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Jetcast Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Section 3.06.
(e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates two years after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Lenco, upon demand, and any holders of Certificates who have not theretofore complied with this 3.06 shall thereafter look only to Lenco for payment of their claim for the Merger Consideration, and any dividends or distributions pursuant to Section 3.06(c).

None of Lenco, Merger Sub, Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any shares of Lenco Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date on which any Merger Consideration or distributions with respect to Lenco Common Stock issuable in respect of such Certificate would escheat to or otherwise become the property of any Governmental Authority, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.
13
(g) Withholding Rights. Lenco or the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person who was a holder of Jetcast Stock, options or other securities or rights immediately prior to the Effective Time such amounts as Lenco or the Exchange Agent may be required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the DGCL or the NCC, or any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Lenco or the Exchange Agent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.
(h) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates.

(i) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Exchange Agent shall not have any obligation to invest cash included in the Exchange Fund.
3.07. Dissenting Stockholders.
(a) Jetcast Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each share (if any) of Jetcast Stock issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time for which the holder has the right to demand, and has made a demand for, appraisal of such share in accordance with Section 92A.380 of the NCC ("Dissenting Shares"), shall not be converted into or represent a right to receive Lenco Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.01(a), but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the NCC. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment therefor pursuant to the NCC shall receive payment from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the NCC; provided, however, that: (i) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to establish his entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in the NCC, or (ii) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn his demand for appraisal thereof or lost his right to appraisal and payment therefore under the NCC, then such holder or holders of Dissenting Shares shall forfeit the right to appraisal of the shares of Jetcast Stock constituting such Dissenting Shares, with the consequences set forth in Section 3.07(b).
14
(b) Loss of Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.07(a), if any holder of shares of Jetcast Stock who demands appraisal of such shares under the NCC shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) the right to appraisal, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrences of such event, such holder’s shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the Certificate representing such shares.
(c) Notice of Appraisal Rights. Jetcast shall give Lenco prompt notice of any written demands for appraisal of any shares of Jetcast Stock, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the NCC and received by Jetcast with respect to any such demand. Jetcast shall give Lenco the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Jetcast shall not, except with the prior written consent of Lenco, make any payment with respect to any such demands or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
Each representation, warranty, covenant and obligation in this Agreement and any certificate or document delivered pursuant to this Agreement will survive the Closing, regardless of any investigation, inquiry or examination made for or on behalf of, or any Knowledge of any Person or the acceptance by a Person of any certificate or opinion, and Merger Sub and Lenco on the one hand and Stockholders, to the extent of their Pro Rata Percentage of the Merger Consideration, on the other, will be liable for any Damages resulting from any breaches thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, nothing in this Article X shall operate to bar or limit any claim arising from or based on fraud, criminal misconduct, intentional or willful misrepresentation or intentional or willful breach of this Agreement. For purposes of calculating the amount of Damages incurred by a party seeking indemnification hereunder arising out of or resulting from any breach or inaccuracy of a representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein (but not for purposes of determining whether such a breach or inaccuracy has occurred), references to Knowledge, "Material Adverse Effect" or materiality (or other similar terms) shall be disregarded. As used herein, Damages of a Person are not limited to matters asserted by third parties, but include Damages incurred or sustained by such Person in the absence of claims by Third parties. All indemnification payments paid pursuant to this Article X shall be deemed adjustments to the Merger Consideration (with any adjustments to the Stock Consideration to be valued based on the VWAP for such Lenco Common Stock for the 10 day period prior to the Closing Date).
43
No party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to Damages to the extent that provision or reserve in respect of the matters giving rise to such Damages has been made in the calculation of the Net Working Capital Adjustment Amount (but a party shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder to the extent that the amount of such Damages exceeds the provision or reserve for such Damages) or to the extent the matter giving rise to such Damages were disputed and resolved in connection with the Closing Financial Statements pursuant to Section 3.01(c).
ARTICLE XI

In this Agreement, unless a contrary intention appears, (a) the words "herein," "hereof" and "hereunder" and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular Article, Section or other subdivision, and (b) reference to any Article or Section means such Article or Section hereof. No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against any party hereto solely because such party or its legal counsel drafted such provision. Whenever the words "include," "includes" or "including" are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without limitation." All Schedules and Exhibits referred to herein are intended to be and hereby are specifically made a part of this Agreement.
11.03. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to contracts made and fully performed in such state, without giving effect to its conflicts or choice of law principles.
11.04. Binding Effect; No Assignment. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, successors and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, however, that Merger Sub may, without the consent of Jetcast or the Stockholders, (a) assign any or all of its rights and interests hereunder to one or more of its affiliates, (b) designate one or more of its affiliates to perform its obligations hereunder and (c) collaterally assign its rights, interests and obligations to any financial institution providing debt financing for the transactions contemplated hereby; provided that no such assignment shall relieve Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder.

(a) This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Jetcast, Merger Sub and the Stockholders' Representative.
(b) At any time prior to the Closing, the parties hereto, by action taken or authorized by their respective boards of directors or other comparable bodies, may, to the extent legally allowed, (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and (iii) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such party. The failure or delay of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
11.06. Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including Jetcast Disclosure Schedule and the Exhibits hereto) constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, understandings and negotiations, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement.

45
11.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof but shall be interpreted as if it were written so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Laws, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, the parties hereby waive any provision of law which renders any provisions hereof prohibited or unenforceable in any respect.
11.08. Stockholders’ Representative.
(a) Appointment. Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxx is hereby appointed as representative (the "Stockholders’ Representative") for and on behalf of the Stockholders to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders' Representative for the accomplishment of the terms of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The holders of a majority of Jetcast Stock as of immediately prior to the Closing may replace the Stockholders' Representative upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Merger Sub. No bond shall be required of the Stockholders' Representative and the Stockholders' Representative shall receive no compensation for his or her services. Notices of communications to or from the Stockholders' Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Stockholders.
(i) Liability; Indemnification. The Stockholders' Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted in such capacity while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Stockholders shall severally indemnify the Stockholders' Representative and hold him or her harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders' Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his or her duties hereunder.
(ii) Authority. Any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders' Representative shall constitute a decision of all of the Stockholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon every Stockholder and the Escrow Agent and Merger Sub may rely upon any decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders' Representative as a decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every Stockholder. The Escrow Agent and Merger Sub are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders' Representative.
11.09. Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not to be performed in accordance with the terms hereof, and that the parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedies at law or in equity.
11.10. Set off. Upon notice to the Stockholders' Representative specifying in reasonable detail the basis therefor, Lenco may set off any amount to which it may be entitled under Article X against any Contingent Consideration or other amounts payable to the Stockholders. The exercise of such right of setoff by Lenco in good faith, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute an event of default under this Agreement.
11.11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, and may be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail in portable document format or other means intended to preserve the original graphic content of a signature. Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall be deemed to be one and the same instrument.
