CERTAIN TAX MATTERS

 

Section 7.1 Responsibility for Filing Tax Returns.

 

(a) Seller shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, IRS Form 1065 (and analogous forms for state and local income tax purpose) of the Company for taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Seller Returns”). Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) the Seller Returns to Buyer for review and comment (other than any such Seller Returns filed for any period prior to 2020, which will not be subject to comment) not later than twenty (20) days prior to the due date of such Seller Returns. Seller shall discuss with Buyer all reasonable changes requested by Buyer at least five (5) days prior to the due date of the Seller Returns. Seller shall cause such Seller Returns to be filed on a timely basis, and Sellers shall pay (or cause to be paid) all taxes reflected on such Seller Returns.

 

(b) To the extent necessary, Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all tax returns (other than Seller Returns) for the Company for all periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date the due date of which (including extensions) is after the Closing Date (the “Buyer Returns”). All such Buyer Returns will be prepared consistent with the past practice of the Company, except as otherwise required by applicable Law. At least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which each such Buyer Return is filed, Buyer will submit such Buyer Return to Seller, and Seller will have the right to review and comment on such Buyer Returns. Buyer will discuss with Seller all reasonable changes requested by Seller at least five (5) days prior to the due date of such Buyer Returns.

 

(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the deductions attributable to transaction expenses, payment of indebtedness of the Company, and the amount of any other fee or expense payable by the Company arising from, incurred in connection with, or incident to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, will be allocated to the period ending on or before the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Period”). Seller shall be liable for and shall reimburse Buyer for the amount of tax reflected on the Buyer Returns attributable to the Pre-Closing Period. With respect to periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, the amount of taxes attributable to the Pre-Closing Period shall be determined on an interim closing of the books basis, except for ad valorem taxes, which shall be prorated on a daily basis.

 

 

Section 7.2 Transfer Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, excise tax, stock transfer tax and other similar taxes with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties, interest or other additions with respect to the Transfer Taxes, shall be paid entirely by the Buyer. Any tax returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes will be prepared and filed by Buyer.

 

Section 7.3 Filing and Amendment of Tax Returns. Without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer will not (i) except for tax returns that are filed pursuant to Section 7.1, file or amend or permit the Company to file or amend any tax return relating to a taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior the Pre-Closing Period, (ii) with respect to tax returns filed pursuant to Section 7.1, after the date such tax returns are filed pursuant to Section 7.1, amend or permit the Company to amend any such tax return, (iii) extend or waive, or cause to be extended or waived, or permit the Company to extend or waive, any statute of limitations or other period for the assessment of any tax or deficiency related to any Pre-Closing Period, (iv) make or change any tax election or accounting method that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Period of the Company or (v) initiate any communication with any Governmental Authority to voluntarily disclose any failure to pay any tax, failure to file any tax return or failure to otherwise comply with any Tax Laws with respect to any Pre-Closing Period.

 

Section 7.4 Tax Contests. Buyer will notify Seller within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Buyer of written notice of any pending federal, state, local or foreign tax audit or examination or notice of deficiency or other adjustment, assessment or redetermination relating to taxes or a tax return with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period (“Tax Contest”); provided, however, that Buyer’s failure to provide timely notice shall not affect its right to receive indemnification, except to the extent that Seller’s ability to conduct its defense is prejudiced thereby. Seller shall have the sole right to represent the interests of the Company and to employ counsel of its choice at the expense of Seller with respect to any such Tax Contest (including any such Tax Contest that is ongoing as of the time of the Closing); and Buyer will cause the Company to execute any powers of attorney necessary in order to allow Seller to control such contest and to settle any such Tax Contest; provided that Seller will not settle or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If Seller elects not to represent the interests of the Company with respect to such Tax Contest, Buyer will represent the interests of the Company. Seller will be permitted to participate in any Tax Contest controlled by Buyer and Buyer will not settle or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Contest without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.

 

Section 7.5 Tax Refunds. Sellers shall be entitled to (a) any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer or the Company, and (b) any credits claimed in lieu of a cash tax refund, in each case, that relate to a Pre-Closing Period of the Company. Buyer will pay over to Seller any such refund within five (5) days after receipt of such refund or within five (5) days of filing of the tax return reflecting such credit. Buyer will request a refund (rather than a credit against future taxes) with respect to all Pre-Closing Periods and, at the request of Seller, will file any amended tax return to claim any such tax refund.

 

 

ARTICLE VIII

SURVIVAL; DISCLAIMER; INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.1. Survival of Provisions; Cure Rights.

 

(a) All representations and warranties of Buyer and Seller contained in this Agreement or in any Buyer Documents or Seller Documents shall survive the Closing for a period of four (4) years from the Closing Date. Any claim for indemnification hereunder for a breach of a representation or warranty may not be brought after the expiration of such applicable period. Any claim for indemnification in respect of a covenant or obligation of Buyer or Seller hereunder to be performed prior to the Closing may not be made after a four (4) year period following the Closing Date. The covenants and obligations under this Agreement to be performed after the Closing shall survive the Closing until fully performed.

 

(b) For all purposes under this Agreement, the existence or occurrence of any event or circumstance that constitutes or causes a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller or Buyer under this Agreement on the date such representation or warranty is made shall be deemed not to constitute a breach of such representation or warranty if such event or circumstance is cured in all material respects on or before the expiration of twenty (20) days from the receipt by such Party of written notice thereof from the other Party.

 

(c) It is the intention of the Parties that the survival periods set forth in this Section 8.1 are contractual statute of limitations and supersede the statute of limitation applicable to such representations and warranties or claim with respect thereof.

 

Section 8.2. Disclaimers and Waivers.

 

(a) Except for the representations and warranties specifically set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 hereof, the Interests are being conveyed by Seller to Buyer at the Closing without any representation or warranty, and all other representations and warranties of any kind, either express or implied, written or oral, are hereby expressly disclaimed.

 

(b) Each of the Sellers hereby waives, effective at the Closing, any and all Claims under or with respect to the operation or management of the Company.

 

Section 8.3. Indemnity.

 

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer and its shareholders, members, partners, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives (individually a “Buyer Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all actions, suits, proceedings, hearings, investigations, charges, complaints, claims, demands, injunctions, judgments, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, liabilities, penalties, fines, amounts paid in settlement, obligations, losses, costs, expenses and fees, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (collectively “Losses”) arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by such Seller in this Agreement or in any Seller Documents or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of the Sellers and their respective shareholders, members, partners, directors, officers, managers, employees, agents and representatives (individually a “Seller Indemnified Party” and, collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses arising out of, resulting from, or in connection with any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by Buyer in this Agreement or in any Buyer Documents or in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(c) A Party seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the Party from whom such indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion or commencement of any Claim, in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Section 8.3 and shall give the Indemnifying Party such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request, but failure to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party may have suffered actual prejudice thereby). Any survival period limitation specified in Section 8.1 hereof shall not apply to a Claim which has been the subject of notice from the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party given prior to the expiration of such period. The Indemnified Party shall have the burden of proof in establishing the amount of its Losses.

 

(d) In the event of the initiation of any action, suit or proceeding against the Indemnified Party by a Person other than the Parties, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole and absolute right after the receipt of notice, at its option and at its own expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice and to control, defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Claim which relates to any Losses sought to be indemnified against hereunder; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may participate in any such action, suit or proceeding with counsel of its choice and at its expense. The Parties agree to cooperate fully with each other in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Claim. To the extent that the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend such Claim, and the Indemnified Party defends against or otherwise deals with any such Claim, the Indemnified Party may retain counsel, reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, and control the defense of such proceeding. Neither the Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnified Party may settle any Claim to the extent that such settlement obligates the other Party to pay money, to perform obligations or to admit Liability without the consent of such other Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

 

Section 8.4. Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, after the Closing the indemnification provided in Section 8.3 hereof shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of a Party for the matters described in Section 8.3 and such Party waives all other remedies on account of such matters. The indemnification obligation under Section 8.3 hereof shall cover all Losses with respect to any and all of the specific matters set forth in Section 8.3, except that an Indemnifying Party shall not, except in cases of fraud, or willful or intentional misrepresentation, be liable for any damages that do not arise directly from the Indemnifying Party’s breach and shall not be liable for any damages suffered or incurred by an Indemnified Party in enforcing this indemnity (including, without limitation, costs of investigation, attorneys’ fees, etc.) if it is finally determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII.

 

 

Section 8.5 Acknowledgement by Buyer. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that: (a) Buyer has conducted to its satisfaction its own independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and has been afforded satisfactory access to the books and records, facilities and personnel of the Company for purposes of conducting such investigation and verification, including, having an opportunity to discuss the business with management of the Company and ask questions of and receive answers from management of the Company; (b) the representations set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 hereof constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company and LED Members, respectively, in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; (c) except for the representations set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 hereof, none of the Company, LED Members or any other Person makes, or has made, any other express or implied representation, warranty or statement with respect to the Company or the transactions contemplated herein and all other representations, warranties and statements of any kind or nature expressed or implied are, in each case, specifically disclaimed by the Company and the LED Members, (including any alleged representations, warranties or statements (i) regarding the completeness or accuracy of, or any omission to state or to disclose, any information, including in the estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to Buyer in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form, whether written or oral, in expectation of the transactions contemplated herein, including meetings, calls or correspondence with management of the Company, or (ii) relating to the future, current or historical business, condition (financial or otherwise), results of operations, prospects, contracts, assets or liabilities of the Company, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Company’s assets); and (d) Buyer is not relying on any representations, warranties and statements in connection with the transactions contemplated herein except the representations set forth in Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 hereof. In connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Company, Buyer has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and certain business plan information. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including uncertainties relating to the effects of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), that Buyer is familiar with such uncertainties and that Buyer is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.5, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that none of the Company, LED Members, any other Person is making any representation or warranty with respect to such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections and forecasts, and that Buyer has not relied on any such estimates, projections or other forecasts or plans. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that from and after the Closing (i) none of the Company, LED Members, or any other Person will have or be subject to any Liability to Buyer or any other Person resulting from the distribution to Buyer or any use of, any such estimates, projections or forecasts or any other information, document or material provided to or made available to Buyer in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or in any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated herein, (ii) Buyer has not relied on any such information, document or material and (iii) Buyer shall not assert, institute or maintain any action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding of any kind whatsoever, including a counterclaim, cross-claim or defense, regardless of the legal or equitable theory under which such Liability or obligation may be sought to be imposed, that makes any claim contrary to the agreements and covenants set forth in this Section 8.5. Seller shall have the right to enforce this Section 8.5 on behalf of any Person that would be benefitted or protected by this Section 8.5 if such Person were a party hereto. The foregoing agreements, acknowledgements, disclaimers and waivers are irrevocable.
