The arbitrator(s) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days of its engagement. The fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator(s) (i) shall be borne by the Buyer in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of all such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be borne by the Sellers, on a joint and several basis, in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by the Sellers (as finally determined by the arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such items so submitted.

Each of the Sellers confirm to the Buyer that such Seller is sophisticated and knowledgeable in the Business and is capable of evaluating the matters set forth above.

 

3.20       Full Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Company in this Agreement and no statement contained in the schedules to this Agreement or any certificate or other document furnished or to be furnished to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they are made, not misleading.

14 

 

 

5.3       Transfer Taxes. All Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder shall be borne and paid by the Company when due. The Company shall, and the Seller Principals shall cause the Company to, at its own expense, timely file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes (and the Buyer shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary).

 

5.4       Name Change. Within five (5) business days following the Closing, the Company shall, and the Seller Principals shall cause the Company to, change its name and do such other things as shall be necessary to permit the Buyer to assume and use the name “Luxemark Capital” and derivations thereof and use all other names utilized by the Company in operating the Business as an ongoing concern.

Once the required consent, authorization or waiver is obtained, the Company shall, or shall cause its relevant affiliates to, assign and transfer such Purchased Asset or Assigned Contract to the Buyer at no additional cost to the Buyer. The Company shall hold in trust for and pay to the Buyer promptly upon receipt thereof, all income, proceeds and other monies received by the Company or any of its affiliates in connection with its use of any Purchased Asset or Assigned Contract (net of any income Taxes and any other costs imposed upon the Company) in connection with the arrangements under this Section 5.7, and the Buyer shall be responsible for all economic liabilities incurred in the aforesaid use of such Purchased Asset or performance of such Assigned Contract (except to the extent arising out of any breach or violation of, or default under, any applicable law or contract by the Company or its affiliates).

(a)       any breach or failure to be true of any representation or warranty of the Buyer contained herein or contained in any certificate or instrument of any officer of the Buyer required to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(b)       any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant or other agreement made or to be performed by the Buyer contained herein or any ancillary agreement or any certificate or other instrument required to be delivered by the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

 

(c)       any fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by the Buyer (or any of its agents).

 

6.4       Materiality and Knowledge Qualifiers.

16 

 

 

6.5       Indemnification Procedures.

The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense. If the Seller Indemnified Party or the Buyer Indemnified Party, as applicable, does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnifying Party may do so, but only if and to the extent it defends against such Action vigorously and in good faith. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent.

 

6.6       Right of Set-Off; Pledge Security. The Buyer or the Sellers may set-off any Losses for which a Buyer Indemnified Party or a Seller Indemnified Party is indemnified under this Agreement by the Sellers or the Buyer, as applicable, from any amounts payable to the Sellers or the Buyer pursuant this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, such set-off right of the Buyer shall include, but not limited to, the Earn-Out. Each of the Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Sellers’ indemnification obligations pursuant to this Article VI shall additionally be secured by the Equity Consideration and a pledge thereof pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

 

6.7       Miscellaneous. All indemnification payments made by any party under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for tax purposes, unless otherwise required by law. The Buyer’s right to indemnification or other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the Sellers contained herein will not be affected by any investigation conducted by the Buyer with respect to, or any knowledge acquired by the Buyer at any time, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The rights and remedies provided in this Article VI are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution for any other rights and remedies available at law or in equity or otherwise.

This Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder constitute the sole and entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein, and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

7.6       Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. None of the Sellers may assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

 

7.10       Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal 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 those of the State of Delaware.

 

7.11       Submission to Jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America or the courts of the State of Delaware in each case located in Wilmington, Delaware, and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding.

 

7.12       Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party acknowledges and agrees that any controversy which may arise under this Agreement is likely to involve complicated and difficult issues and, therefore, each such party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any legal action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

18
