45

 

 

(b)               No Indemnifying Party shall be liable to an Indemnified Party for indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a) exceeds $250,000 (or in the case of each Seller, such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of $250,000) (the “Deductible”), in which event the Indemnifying Party shall only be required to pay or be liable for Losses in excess of the Deductible. With respect to any claim as to which an Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification under Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any individual or series of related Losses which do not exceed $10,000 (which Losses shall not be counted toward the Deductible) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in this Section 7.04(b) shall not apply to Losses based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in Section 3.01, Section 3.03(c), Section 3.21, Section 4.01, Section 4.04 and Section 4.05.

 

(c)                The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 7.02(a) or Section 7.03(a), as the case may be, shall not exceed twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of the Purchase Price (or in the case of each Seller, twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) of such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Purchase Price). The aggregate amount of all Losses for which an Indemnifying Party shall be liable pursuant to Section 3.01, Section 3.03(c), Section 3.21, Section 4.01, Section 4.04 or Section 4.05, as the case may be, shall not exceed the Purchase Price (or in the case of each Seller, such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Purchase Price). No Seller shall be required to make any indemnification payments in respect of the inaccuracy in or breach of any representations or warranties of another Seller under Section 3.01, Section 3.03(c) and 0.

 

(d)               Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be limited to the amount of any liability or damage that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment actually received by an Indemnified Party (or the Company) in respect of any such claim. Each Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to recover under insurance policies or indemnity, contribution or other similar agreements for any Losses prior to seeking indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(e)                Payments by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.02 and Section 7.03 in respect of any Loss shall be reduced by an amount equal to any Tax benefit actually realized as a result of such Loss by each Indemnified Party.

 

(f)                In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including loss of future revenue or income, loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement, or diminution of value or any damages based on any type of multiple, except to the extent such damages are actually awarded to a Governmental Authority or other third party.

 

46

 

 

(g)               Each Indemnified Party shall take, and cause its Affiliates to take, all reasonable steps to mitigate any Loss upon becoming aware of any event or circumstance that would be reasonably expected to, or does, give rise thereto, including incurring costs only to the minimum extent necessary to remedy the breach that gives rise to such Loss.

 

Section 7.05            Indemnification Procedures. 

 

(a)                Third-Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any action, suit, claim or other legal proceeding made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third-Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third-Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is a Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a material supplier or customer of the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party. In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, subject to Section 7.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third-Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense of any Third-Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim or fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third-Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third-Party Claim. Sellers and Buyer Group shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third-Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 5.08) records relating to such Third-Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third-Party Claim.

 

47

 

 

(b)               Settlement of Third-Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as provided in this Section 7.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten (10) days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 7.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

(c)                Direct Claims. Any claim by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third-Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. During such thirty (30) day-day period, the Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30)-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

48

 

 

Section 7.06             Payments.

 

(a)                Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within fifteen (15) Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to the date such payment has been made at a rate per annum equal to ten percent (10%).

 

(b)               Any Losses payable by a Seller to a Buyer Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VII shall be satisfied, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.04: (i) if such Seller so elects, first, from all or any portion of the Stock Consideration Shares held by Seller, calculated based on the Volume Weighted Average Trading Price as of the date of payment by such Seller of such amount; (ii) second, from the Holdback Amount; and (ii) then, to the extent the amount of Losses exceeds the amounts available to the Buyer Indemnitee from the Stock Consideration Shares (if applicable) and Holdback Amount, from such Seller.

 

Section 7.07            Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 7.08            Exclusive Remedies. In furtherance of, and subject to, Section 7.04(a), each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. Nothing in Section 7.04(a) or this Section 7.08 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled pursuant to Section 9.11 or to seek any remedy on account of intentional fraud by any party hereto.

Section 9.14             Representation of Counsel 

 

(a)                McAllister acknowledges and agrees that he has consulted counsel or has had the opportunity to consult counsel about this Agreement, the other agreements referenced herein and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and freely and knowingly enters into this Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein to which McAllister is a party. McAllister further acknowledges and agrees that Davis Wright Tremaine LLP (“DWT”) solely represents the interests of Parrot in connection with this Agreement, the other agreements referenced herein and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and no other Person has received any legal, tax or other advice from DWT or has any attorney-client relationship with DWT in connection with such agreements or transactions.

 

(b)               Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto intend that all privileged communications at or before the Closing between the Company and/or Parrot (collectively, the “Seller Group”), on the one hand, and any of their attorneys, on the other hand, including all communications relating to the negotiation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and any alternative transactions (collectively, the “Protected Communication”), and all associated rights to assert, waive and otherwise administer the attorney-client privilege and right of confidentiality of any member of the Seller Group (the “Associated Rights”), will, from and after the Closing, rest exclusively with Sellers and will not be transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered, by operation of law or otherwise, to Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or any successor or assign of any of the foregoing (collectively, the “AgEagle Group”). Accordingly, as of immediately before the Closing, for the consideration set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged: (i) all Protected Communication and Associated Rights are, and will be deemed for all purposes, transferred, assigned, conveyed and delivered in full to Parrot and (ii) no member of the AgEagle Group will have any right, title, interest or benefit in or to, or right to access or use, any of the Protected Communication or any Associated Rights.

 

(c)                If and to the extent that, at any time from and after the Closing, any member of the AgEagle Group will have any Associated Rights, each member of the AgEagle Group will not, and will cause the other members of the AgEagle Group not to, waive such Associated Rights without the prior written consent of Parrot (which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in their respective sole discretion). Parent, for itself and its Affiliates (including Buyer), agrees to take commercially reasonable efforts, at Parrot’s sole cost and expense, to carry out the purposes of this Section 9.14, including the assignment of the Protected Communications and Associated Rights to Parrot hereunder.
