(ii) to each of the Earnout Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Purchase Price Bank Account(s), an amount in cash equal to the product of (A) the difference of the Initial Payment Per Unit minus $0.50, such difference multiplied by (B) the number of Common Units owned and held by such Earnout Seller as of the Closing Date (not including any Common Units as to which a Seller will be deemed a Cash Seller due to the pro ration provisions of Section 2.8(c));

Section 2.6. Adjustment Procedure.

(a) At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall have prepared and delivered to the Buyer (i) an estimate of the balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”) with supporting detail and (ii) a certificate of the Company containing (A) the Company’s calculation of the estimated Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Net Working Capital”), prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements, (B) an estimate of all Funded Indebtedness (“Estimated Funded Indebtedness”) and (C) an estimate of Transaction Expenses paid by the Company on or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall review the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and all supporting documentation and the parties shall resolve in good faith any disagreements concerning the Estimated Net Working Capital prior to Closing.

(b) The “Estimated Purchase Price” shall be $100,000,000 minus (i) Estimated Funded Indebtedness plus or minus (ii) the amount by which Estimated Net Working Capital is positive or negative. Such adjustments shall be calculated based on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the certificate delivered pursuant to subsection (a) above.

(c) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Buyer will prepare and deliver to the Selling Parties’ Representative (i) an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and (ii) a certificate of the Buyer (the “Adjustment Certificate”) containing Buyer’s calculation of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”), the difference between the Closing Date Net Working Capital and the Estimated Net Working Capital, and all Funded Indebtedness (“Closing Date Funded Indebtedness”). The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows: (i) increased by the amount by which Closing Date Net Working Capital exceeds Estimated Net Working Capital; (ii) decreased by the amount by which Estimated Working Capital exceeds Closing Date Working Capital, (iii)

 

16


increased by the amount by which Estimated Funded Indebtedness exceeds Closing Date Funded Indebtedness, and (iv) decreased by the amount by which Closing Date Funded Indebtedness exceeds Estimated Funded Indebtedness (the sum of the foregoing adjustments, the “Adjustment Amount”). The Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements. The Buyer and the Company will make available to the Selling Parties’ Representative all books, records, and personnel relating to the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet during normal business hours that the Selling Parties’ Representative may reasonably require in order to analyze the Closing Balance Sheet. The Closing Balance Sheet, the Adjustment Certificate and the Adjustment Amount will be considered final and binding unless the Selling Parties’ Representative objects in writing thereto within 20 days after delivery of the Adjustment Certificate (an “Objection Notice”). The Objection Notice shall specify in reasonable detail the items in the Closing Balance Sheet to which the Selling Parties’ Representative objects and shall provide a summary of reasons for such objections.

(d) If the Selling Parties’ Representative makes a timely objection to the Adjustment Certificate, the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer shall use good faith efforts to settle such dispute and reach a written agreement with respect to such dispute. If the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer are unable to enter into a settlement within 30 days after the Selling Parties’ Representative delivers the written objection under this Section 2.6, then the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing (or, if the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer cannot agree upon a selection, they shall select such accounting firm by lot from among the four largest accounting firms in the United States; provided that such selected accounting firm shall not at the time of selection be performing, or at any time during the three years preceding such selection have performed, services for the Sellers, the Company or the Buyer) that shall be instructed jointly by the Selling Parties’ Representative and the Buyer to resolve such dispute as promptly as possible. The Buyer and the Selling Parties’ Representative shall cooperate fully with the accounting firm so as to enable it to make such determination as quickly and as accurately as practicable. The Buyer and the Selling Parties’ Representative shall instruct the accounting firm not to assign a value greater than the greatest value for any item assigned by the Buyer, on the one hand, or the Selling Parties’ Representative, on the other hand, or less than the smallest value for such item assigned by the Buyer, on the one hand, or the Selling Parties’ Representative, on the other hand. The accounting firm shall base its decision solely upon the presentations of the Buyer and the Selling Parties’ Representative delivered to the accounting firm and not upon an independent review. The independent accounting firm shall deliver a determination as to the Adjustment Amount, and such determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties for purposes of this Agreement. The Adjustment Amount and the determination thereof shall be (i) in writing, (ii) made in accordance with GAAP and (iii) nonappealable and incontestable by the Sellers and the Buyer and not subject to collateral attack for any reason. The fees and costs of the independent accounting firm incurred in the resolution of any items in dispute shall be reasonably determined by the independent accounting firm and set forth in the accountant’s adjustment determination, and shall be allocated between and paid by the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Buyer, on the other hand, in inverse proportion to the extent they prevailed on the items in dispute.

 

17


(e) On the fifth Business Day following the final determination of the Adjustment Amount in accordance with Section 2.6(d), (i) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, the Buyer will pay the Adjustment Amount to the Sellers; and (ii) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, the Selling Parties’ Representative will instruct the Escrow Agent to pay from the Escrow Amount the Adjustment Amount to the Buyer. All payments made pursuant to this Section 2.6(e) will be made together with interest, at the same rate of interest then being earned on the Escrow Amount, calculated from the Closing Date to the date of the payment. Payments will be made in immediately available funds. Payments to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2.6(d) shall be made by wire transfer to the Purchase Price Bank Account(s) in accordance with each Seller’s Allocable Portion. Payments to the Buyer will be made by wire transfer to such bank account as the Buyer will specify.

Section 2.7. Withholding Taxes. The Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to a Seller such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld from such payment under the IRC, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over to the appropriate taxing authority by the Buyer, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Seller in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 2.8. Earnout Election.

(a) Not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, each Seller may elect (i) by delivering written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B to the Buyer, to be an Earnout Seller (each such election, an “Earnout Election”) or (ii) by delivering written notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C to the Buyer, to be a Cash Seller (each such election, a “Cash Election”). Any Seller that fails to deliver to the Buyer an effective Earnout Election or an effective Cash Election within ten (10) Business Days after the date of this Agreement shall be conclusively deemed a Cash Seller for the purposes herein (as determined by the Buyer in its sole discretion) and shall not have right to or any interest in any of the Earnout Payments whatsoever. For the avoidance of doubt, any Earnout Election or Cash Election shall apply to all of the Common Units owned by the Seller making such Earnout Election or Cash Election and no Seller may make an Earnout Election or Cash Election with respect to only a portion of the Common Units owned by such Seller (except as provided in Section 2.8(c)).

(b) If the aggregate number of Common Units owned by such Sellers that have made an Earnout Election is less than 10% of the aggregate number of Closing Common Units, then all of the Earnout Elections shall be void and shall not be effective and each such Seller shall automatically be deemed a Cash Seller for the purposes herein.

(c) If the aggregate number of Common Units owned by such Sellers that have made an Earnout Election is greater than 50% of the aggregate number of Closing Common Units, then the Sellers who have made an Earnout Election will be deemed to have made an Earnout Election with respect to the number of Common Units owned and held by such Seller as of the Closing Date multiplied by a fraction equal to: (i) 50% of the aggregate number of Closing Common Units divided by (ii) the aggregate number of Common Units owned by the Sellers making an Earnout Election, with the product of the foregoing rounded down to the nearest whole number, and such Seller shall be deemed to be a Cash Seller with respect to the balance of the Common Units owned and held by such Seller as of the Closing Date.

 

18


Section 2.9. Earnout Payments.

(a) In addition to receipt of the proceeds set forth in Section 2.5, following the Closing Date, the Earnout Sellers (and only the Earnout Sellers) may be eligible to receive their respective Percentage Interest of the following payments (collectively, the “Earnout Payments”):

(i) For the period beginning on May 1, 2008, and ending on October 31, 2008 (“Year 1”), each of the Earnout Sellers shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Buyer their Percentage Interest of an amount (such amount, the “2008 Payment”) determined in accordance with the criteria set forth below:

(B) if an amount equal to two (2) times the Company’s Operating Income is greater than or equal to $9,600,000, the 2008 Payment shall be equal to $850,000.

(ii) For the year beginning on January 1, 2009, and ending on December 31, 2009 (“Year 2”), each of the Earnout Sellers shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Buyer their Percentage Interest of an amount (such amount, the “2009 Payment”) determined in accordance with the criteria set forth below:

(A) if the Company’s Operating Income is less than $14,000,000, the 2009 Payment shall be equal to $0.00;

(B) if the Company’s Operating Income is greater than or equal to $14,000,000 but less than $14,500,000, the 2009 Payment shall be equal to $1,950,000; and

(C) if the Company’s Operating Income is greater than or equal to $14,500,000, the 2009 Payment shall be equal to $2,600,000.

(iii) For the year beginning on January 1, 2010, and ending on December 31, 2010 (“Year 3”), each of the Earnout Sellers shall be entitled to receive from the Company or the Buyer their Percentage Interest of an amount (such amount, the “2010 Payment”) determined in accordance with the criteria set forth below:

(A) if the Company’s Operating Income is less than $16,800,000, the 2010 Payment shall be equal to $0.00;

(B) if the Company’s Operating Income is greater than or equal to $16,800,000 but less than $18,200,000, the 2010 Payment shall be equal to $1,950,000; and

 

19


(C) if the Company’s Operating Income is greater than or equal to $18,200,000, the 2010 Payment shall be equal to $2,600,000.

(b) The Buyer shall cause the Company to provide to the Earnout Sellers, as soon as available, a copy of the Company’s internal financial statements as of and for each of the periods ended October 31, 2008, December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, as applicable.

(c) The Company or the Buyer shall pay to each of the Earnout Sellers an amount in cash equal to such Earnout Seller’s Percentage Interest of the applicable Earnout Payment (if any) for each of Year 1, Year 2 and Year 3 by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to the Purchase Price Bank Account(s). With respect to Year 1, such payment (if any) shall be made within 30 days following the Buyer’s receipt of internal financial statements for the Company, but in no event later than December 31, 2008. With respect to Year 2 and Year 3, such payments (if any) shall be made within 30 days following the completion of the audited financial statements of the Buyer for Year 2 and Year 3, as applicable.

(d) During the Earnout Period, the Buyer, the Company and the Earnout Sellers, as applicable, shall conduct the Company’s business and operations without any intent to prejudice or artificially enhance the Earnout Sellers’ right to receive any Earnout Payment and shall not enter into any agreement that would prohibit the Buyer or the Company from making the Earnout Payments if and when any Earnout Payment is due or otherwise interfere therewith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall be maintained as a separate Subsidiary of the Buyer, and the Buyer will exercise good faith and fair dealing in its transactions with the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9 to the contrary, the Buyer and the Company shall have no liability for any action taken in good faith; it being agreed and understood that the Earnout Payments are not guaranteed, are set at levels that reflect strong future performance, and that the Buyer and the Company may make business decisions in good faith which they believe to be appropriate but in hindsight may directly or indirectly affect the likelihood that the Earnout Sellers receive the Earnout Payments.

Section 2.10 Conversion. At least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company and the Sellers shall cause the Preference Amount to be paid to the holders of the Preferred Units and shall thereafter immediately effect the Conversion; provided, however, that if the Closing does not occur, nothing herein shall preclude the Company and the Sellers from effecting a cancellation and rescission of the Conversion.

Upon the execution and delivery by the Seller of the Sellers’ Closing Documents, the same will constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by the Enforceability Exceptions.

At the Closing, the Seller shall sell to Buyer good and marketable title to all Membership Interests owned by such Seller, in each case, free and clear of all Encumbrances.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 3.2(c) of the Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Sellers’ Closing Documents nor the consummation or performance of any of the Contemplated Transactions will (i) violate any Legal Requirement to which the Seller is subject or any provision of the Organizational Documents of the Seller (if applicable), (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, result in the acceleration of, create in any Person the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel or require any notice under any Contract to which the Seller is a party or by which the Seller is bound or to which any of the Seller’s assets are subject or (iii) result in the imposition or creation of any Encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Membership Interests.

Such Earnout Seller understands and agrees that such Earnout Seller has not relied upon any statement of the Company, the other Earnout Sellers, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, managers, directors, partners and employees regarding the value of the Earnout Payments and that no representation or warranty has been or is being made by the Company, the other Earnout Sellers, the Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective officers, managers, directors, partners and employees regarding the value of the Earnout Payments. Each Earnout Seller understands and agrees that delivering an Earnout Election involves a high degree of risk and that no guarantees have been made or can be made with respect to the future value of the Earnout Payments or the profitability or success of the Company. Such Earnout Seller understands that the value of the Earnout Payments may be more or less than such Earnout Seller would have received if such Earnout Seller participated as a Cash Seller, and that an Earnout Seller will suffer a decrease in the value of the Earnout Payments as a result of the Company’s lack of success or profitability.

The Buyer is a corporation, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted and to own or use the properties and assets that it now owns or uses. The Buyer is qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of each state or other jurisdiction in which either the ownership or use of the properties owned or used by it, or the nature of the activities conducted by it, requires such qualification, and the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would result in a Material Adverse Change.

Buyer is making its investment decision based on its own investigation and, except as set forth herein, its decision is not based upon representations made to it by the Company, the Sellers or any of their respective Representatives.

(d) by mutual consent of Buyer and Selling Parties’ Representative (on behalf of itself, the Sellers and the Company);

(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by such Seller in Article III or any certificate delivered by such Seller pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such Seller and not with respect to any other Seller to the extent such representation or warranty relates to another Seller;

(b) any Breach by a Seller of any covenant or obligation of such Seller in this Agreement; or

(c) any claim by any Person for brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions or similar payments based upon any agreement or understanding alleged to have been made by any such Person with such Seller (or any Person acting on their behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 12.3. Indemnification and Payment of Damages By Sellers. Sellers will indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnified Persons on a joint and several basis for, and will pay to the Buyer Indemnified Persons the amount of any Damages, arising or resulting, directly or indirectly, from, caused by or in connection with:

54


been made by such Person with Buyer (or any Person acting on its behalf) in connection with any of the Contemplated Transactions. The limitations set forth in Sections 12.6 and 12.7 shall apply mutadis mutandis to Buyer.

Section 12.5. Limitations. If the Closing occurs, none of the Sellers will have any liability with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless on or before the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in accordance with Section 12.1, Buyer notifies the Selling Parties’ Representative of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Buyer. If the Closing occurs, Buyer will have no liability (for indemnification or otherwise) with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation to be performed and complied with prior to the Closing Date, unless on or before the expiration of such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation in accordance with Section 12.1, the Selling Parties’ Representative notifies Buyer of a claim specifying the factual basis of that claim in reasonable detail to the extent then known by Sellers. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, for purposes of determining whether there has been a breach and the amount of any Damages that are the subject matter of a claim for indemnification hereunder, each representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be read without regard and without giving effect to any materiality or Material Adverse Change standard or qualification contained in such representation or warranty (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation and warranty).

Section 12.6. Limitations On Amount. Sellers shall have no liability with respect to the matters described in Section 12.3(a), unless and until (i) the aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Persons with respect to a particular fact, event or occurrence and all other facts, events or occurrences arising from substantially the same circumstances or facts exceeds $30,000 (a “Base Claim”), and (ii) the aggregate amount of all Damages incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Persons in respect of claims constituting Base Claims exceeds $500,000 (the “Sellers Indemnity Threshold”), and then the Sellers shall be liable only for the amount by which such Damages exceed the Sellers Indemnity Threshold.

Section 12.7. Indemnity Cap.

55


Section 12.8. Indemnity Based on Allocable Portion.

Section 12.9. Effect of Insurance, Taxes and Other Reimbursements.

(a) The obligation of any indemnifying parties to indemnify any Indemnified Persons against any Damages arising under this Article shall be reduced: (i) by the amount of any insurance proceeds or other reimbursement or recovery (net of any expenses and collection costs of the recovery, increases in premiums and any retro premiums) actually received from third Persons, such as insurers, by the Indemnified Persons with respect to such Damages or the underlying factors with respect thereto under any applicable policy; (ii) to take into account any net Tax benefits when and to the extent actually derived by the Indemnified Persons as a result of any Damages or the underlying reasons therefor, with amount and timing of a Tax benefit determined assuming the Indemnified Person has recognized and/or utilized all other items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit available to such Indemnified Person before recognizing any item with respect to such Damages.

(b) If indemnification payments shall have been received prior to the collection of any payments, proceeds or benefits described above, the Indemnified Person receiving such payments shall remit to the indemnifying parties the amount of such proceeds (net of the expenses of recovery or collection thereof, any increases in premiums and any retro-premiums) to the extent of indemnification payments received by such Indemnified Person in respect of such Damages.

(c) Each Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall take commercially reasonable steps to mitigate all Damages after becoming aware of any event or circumstance which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Damages that are indemnifiable or recoverable hereunder or in connection herewith; provided that, the obligations set forth in this Section 12.9(c) shall not expand or broaden any Person’s obligation to mitigate Damages under or pursuant to applicable law.

56


Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced or damaged by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such timely notice. To the extent reasonably available, the Indemnified Person shall also send to the indemnifying party copies of all relevant documentation with respect to such third party claim, including, without limitation, any summons, complaint, or other pleading which may have been served, any written demand or any other document or instrument directly related thereto.

(b) If an Indemnified Person gives notice to the indemnifying party under Section 12.11(a) of any facts or conditions which may give rise to Damages for which indemnification can be obtained, the indemnifying party will be entitled to control such Proceeding and, to the extent that it wishes (unless the indemnifying party is also a party to such Proceeding and the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person and, after notice from the indemnifying party to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will not, as long as it diligently conducts such defense, be liable to the Indemnified Person under this Article for any fees of other counsel or any other expenses with respect to the defense of such Proceeding, in each case subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Person in connection with the defense of such Proceeding; provided that, as a condition precedent to the indemnifying party’s right to assume control of such defense, it must first: (i) enter into an agreement with the Indemnified Person (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person) pursuant to which the indemnifying party agrees to be fully responsible (subject to the Sellers’ Indemnity Threshold, but otherwise with no reservation of rights) for all Damages relating to such claims and that it will provide full indemnification (whether or not otherwise required hereunder) to the Indemnified Person for all Damages relating to such claim, and (ii) unconditionally guarantee the payment and performance of any liability or obligation which may arise with respect to such claim or the facts giving rise to such claim for indemnification (without regard to the Indemnity Cap), and (iii) furnish the Indemnified Person with reasonable evidence that the indemnifying party is and will be able to satisfy any such liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume control (or the Indemnified Person shall have the right to take back control, as the case may be) of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person, if the third party claim (i) seeks injunctive or other non-monetary relief, (ii) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (iii) involves a claim to which the Indemnified Person reasonably believes an adverse determination would be materially detrimental or injurious to the Indemnified Person’s reputation or future business prospects, or (iv) involves a claim which, upon petition by the Indemnified Person, the appropriate court or arbitrational body rules that the indemnifying party failed or is failing to diligently prosecute or defend.

(c) If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Agreement that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be effected by the indemnifying party without the Indemnified Person’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnified Person, and (B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the indemnifying party; and (iii) the Indemnified Person will have no liability with respect to any

 

57


compromise or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice is given to an indemnifying party of the commencement of any Proceeding and the indemnifying party does not, within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Person’s notice is given, give notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, the indemnifying party will be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

Section 12.12. Procedure For Indemnification — Other Claims. A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a third-party claim may be asserted by notice to the party from whom indemnification is sought specifying in reasonable detail and to the extent then known of the nature and basis of such claim and the estimated amount thereof, but the failure to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Person, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced or damaged by the indemnifying party’s failure to give such notice. Such notice shall be accompanied by copies of all relevant documentation available with respect to such claim.

Section 12.13. Sole and Exclusive Remedy. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, except for any action based on fraud and fraudulent conduct, intentional misrepresentation or deceit, and except as set forth in Section 2.6 and Article XIII, from and after the Closing, the remedies provided for in this Article XII (and as limited by this Article XII) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all monetary claims or payment obligations under this Agreement, the Sellers’ Closing Documents, the Buyer’s Closing Documents and the Contemplated Transactions; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any manner limit the Buyer’s or any of the Sellers’ right to seek specific performance, injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce any of the other party’s post-Closing obligations under this Agreement.

Section 12.14. No Third Person Reliance. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the representations and warranties of Sellers and the Company contained in this Agreement (a) are being given by Sellers and the Company as an inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement (and Sellers acknowledge that Buyer has expressly relied thereon) and (ii) are solely for the benefit of Buyer and the Buyer Indemnified Persons. Accordingly, no third Person or anyone acting on behalf of any party thereto other than Indemnified Persons hereunder shall be a third person or other beneficiary of such representations and warranties and no such third Person shall have any rights of contribution against any Seller with respect to such representations or warranties or any matter subject to or resulting in indemnification under this Article or otherwise.

ARTICLE XIII

Any fact or item disclosed in any Section of the Disclosure Schedule as an exception to a particular covenant, representation or warranty shall be deemed disclosed as an exception with respect to all other covenants, representations and warranties to which such fact or item may reasonably apply, so long as the relevance of such disclosure is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure (without reference to the underlying documents or the matter described therein) and is in sufficient detail to enable a party hereto to identify the facts or items to which it applies. Any fact or item disclosed on any schedule hereto shall not by reason only of such inclusion be deemed to be material and shall not be employed as a point of reference in determining any standard of materiality under this Agreement.

Section 13.11. Appointment of Selling Parties’ Representative.

(a) Each Seller (i) irrevocably constitutes and appoints James B. Little, III, in his capacity as an authorized manager of PBM Services Company, LLC (the “Selling Parties’ Representative”) as his, her or its true and lawful attorney in fact and agent, (ii) agrees that this power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest and (iii) authorizes the Selling Parties’ Representative to act for such Seller in his, her or its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities and to do and perform every act and thing required or permitted to be done in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, except as otherwise set forth herein, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person, including, without limitation:

(i) negotiate, execute and deliver (A) the Escrow Agreement, (B) such other Sellers’ Closing Documents or documents or agreements required to be delivered to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and (C) such amendments, modifications, alterations and waivers to this Agreement from time to time as the Selling Parties’ Representative deems necessary or advisable;

(ii) agree or disagree with any adjustment to the Purchase Price and determine the final allocation thereof;

(iii) deliver and receive opinions, certificates and other documents required at or in connection with this Agreement and other documents, agreements and the Contemplated Transactions, and to agree to waivers or modifications of any such opinions, certificates or other documents;

(iv) determine the presence (or absence) of claims for indemnification against Buyer pursuant to Article XII;

(v) deliver all notices required to be delivered by an indemnifying party or Indemnified Person under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any notice of a claim (including third party claims) for which indemnification is sought under Article XII;

 

62


(vi) receive all notices required to be delivered to an indemnifying party or an Indemnified Person under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any notice of a claim (including third party claims) for which indemnification is sought under Article XII; and

(vii) take any and all action on behalf of any Seller or any Seller Indemnified Person(s) from time to time as the Selling Parties’ Representative may deem necessary or desirable to resolve and/or settle claims under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Article XII.

(b) Each Seller grants unto said attorney in fact and agent full power and authority to do and perform each and every act and thing necessary or desirable to be done in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, as fully to all intents and purposes as such Seller might or could do in person, hereby ratifying and confirming all that the Selling Parties’ Representative may lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. Each Seller acknowledges and agrees that upon execution and delivery by the Selling Parties’ Representative of any amendments, modifications, alterations or waivers hereof or agreements, opinions, certificates and other documents executed and delivered by the Selling Parties’ Representative pursuant to this Section, such Seller shall be bound by such documents as fully as if such Seller had executed and delivered such documents.

(c) Upon the death, disability or incapacity of the Selling Parties’ Representative, the Sellers, or their personal representatives, shall appoint a replacement reasonably believed by such person to be capable of carrying out the duties and performing the obligations of the Selling Parties’ Representative hereunder within ten (10) days of such death, disability or incapacity. Each Seller shall thereafter promptly provide Buyer with notice of such replacement.

(d) Each Seller agrees that Buyer shall be entitled to rely on any action taken by the Selling Parties’ Representative, on behalf of the Sellers, pursuant to this Section (each, an “Authorized Action”), and that each Authorized Action shall be binding on each Seller as fully as if such Seller had taken such Authorized Action. Each Seller shall jointly and severally indemnify the Selling Parties’ Representative and hold the Selling Parties’ Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Selling Parties’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Selling Parties’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Selling Parties’ Representative. Each Seller further agrees that the conflict of interest between the Selling Parties’ Representative, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, will not give rise to any presumption against the Selling Parties’ Representative nor will it limit or impair his right to indemnification hereunder.

Section 13.12. Assignments, Successors, And No Third-Party Rights. No party may assign any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior consent of the other parties, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided that Buyer may assign its rights to any of its Affiliates, so long as Buyer shall remain responsible for all of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement and the Buyer’s Closing Documents. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will apply to, be binding in all respects upon, and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties. Nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right,

 

63


remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement and all of its provisions and conditions are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their successors and assigns.

Section 13.13. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or unenforceable.

Section 13.14. Construction and Interpretation of Agreement.

(a) Section titles or captions in this Agreement are included for purposes of convenience only and shall not be considered a part of the Agreement in construing or interpreting any of its provisions. All references in this Agreement to Sections shall refer to Sections of this Agreement unless the context clearly otherwise requires.

(b) The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. If any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedule or any exhibit attached hereto and not otherwise defined therein shall have the meanings set forth in this Agreement. The parties intend that each representation, warranty and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the party is in breach of the first representation, warranty or covenant.

(c) Unless the context otherwise requires, when used in this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and all pronouns shall be deemed to refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, as the identity of the Person or Persons may require.

(d) Time is of the essence for the parties in the performance of all covenants of this Agreement.

(e) When used in the Agreement, “including” shall have the commonly accepted meaning associated with such word and any list of items that may follow such word shall not be deemed to represent a complete list of the contents of the referent of the subject.

Section 13.15. Governing Law. All matters relating to the interpretation, construction, validity and enforcement of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 13.16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Counterparts of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or electronic copies (such as .pdf copies) and shall be considered an original signature of the signing party.

Section 13.17. Survival. In addition to those other provisions of this Agreement that expressly provide that they shall survive termination of this Agreement, the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4, 13.5, 13.6, 13.8, 13.9, 13.10, 13.11, 13.12, 13.13, 13.14, 13.15 and this Section 13.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
