a. | The Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Working Capital Adjustment Schedule and the Closing Purchase Price Schedule shall be final, binding and conclusive unless Seller notifies Buyer in writing of any disagreement therewith (an Objection Notice) within thirty calendar days after its receipt thereof (such period, the Objection Period). During the Objection Period, and for so long as any dispute set forth in an Objection Notice remains unresolved, upon reasonable advance notice Buyer shall afford Seller and its advisors with reasonable access during normal business hours to the financial records of AACR-DR so as to enable their review of the Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Working Capital Adjustment Schedule and Closing Purchase Price Schedule. Any Objection Notice shall set forth Sellers calculation of the Net Working Capital or the Base Purchase Price and shall specify in reasonable detail such items or amounts as to which Seller disagrees and shall state the reasons for such disagreement. Seller shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Working Capital Adjustment Schedule and the Closing Purchase Price Schedule which are not |
contained in an Objection Notice timely issued during the Objection Period. | |||
b. | If Seller duly delivers to Buyer an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, Seller and Buyer shall attempt to resolve such disputes, and any written resolution signed by Buyer and Seller as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive. | ||
c. | If Seller and Buyer are unable to resolve all disputes reflected in the Objection Notice within thirty calendar days after receipt thereof (or such longer period as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree upon in writing) (the Resolution Period) then Seller and Buyer shall promptly thereafter (but no later than five calendar days thereafter) submit the items remaining in dispute for resolution to an independent accounting firm of international reputation, which shall not be a big four accounting firm, mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller (such accounting firm being referred to as the Accounting Firm). If Seller and Buyer are unable to agree upon a mutually acceptable Accounting Firm within such five day period, the parties shall submit the selection of any Accounting Firm to the president of the American Arbitration Association, who shall select an Accounting Firm and whose selection shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to deliver to Buyer and Seller a written report setting forth its resolution of all the disputed items submitted to it (and a revised (x) Closing Balance Sheet and Net Working Capital Adjustment Schedule and/or (y) Closing Purchase Price Schedule as a result thereof) as promptly as practicable (but no later than thirty calendar days after accepting its appointment). Absent fraud or manifest error, the determination by the Accounting Firm (and the revised Net Working Capital Adjustment Schedule and/or Closing Purchase Price Schedule resulting therefrom) shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties as of the date of such resolution, including with respect to the issue as to whether the Accounting Firm had authority under this Section 1.7(d) to resolve such disputes. Final, binding and conclusive shall mean that the aforesaid determination and final Net Working Capital Adjustment and/or Base Purchase Price, as the case may be, shall have the same preclusive effect for all purposes as if such determination had been embodied in a final judgment, no longer subject to appeal, entered by a court of competent jurisdiction after full and fair litigation on the merits. Seller and Buyer shall deliver or make available to the Accounting Firm the work papers and back-up materials supporting such partys |
calculations relating to the disputed amounts, as requested by the Accounting Firm and to the extent available to Seller, Buyer and their respective Representatives. Seller and Buyer shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accounting Firm material related to the unresolved disputes and to discuss the issues with the Accounting Firm pursuant to rules of engagement to be mutually agreed upon, including that there shall be no contact with the Accounting Firm without the presence of a Representative of both Seller and Buyer. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be limited to the disputed items submitted to it and shall not include any item in the Closing Balance Sheet, the Net Working Capital Adjustment Schedule or the Closing Purchase Price Schedule as to which Seller has not disagreed in its Objection Notice or which was resolved by the parties during the Resolution Period. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by Buyer and Seller in proportion to the amount of the disputed item(s) with respect to which such partys claim was unsuccessful. | |||
d. | Within five calendar days after the date of determination by the Accounting Firm (or of any earlier resolution by the parties of all disputed issues) or, if Seller did not timely deliver an Objection Notice, within five calendar days after the expiration of the Objection Period: |
i. | if the Initial Purchase Price paid at Closing exceeds the Adjusted Purchase Price, Seller shall pay Buyer an amount equal to the difference between the Initial Purchase Price and the Adjusted Purchase Price, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Buyer; and | ||
ii. | if the Adjusted Purchase Price exceeds the Initial Purchase Price paid at Closing, Buyer shall pay Seller an amount equal to the difference between the Adjusted Purchase Price and the Initial Purchase Price, in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by Seller. |
e. | For the purposes of this Agreement: |
i. | Adjusted Purchase Price means the result of (x) the Base Purchase Price (as set forth on the Closing Purchase Price Schedule, as amended and revised to reflect any determination or resolution in accordance with clauses (b) through (d) of this Section 1.7) (y) either (aa) plus the absolute value of the Final Net Working |

h. | In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1, this Agreement shall terminate (except for the provisions of Article IX)) and there shall be no other Liability on the part of Seller or Buyer (and its respective Affiliates) to the other (and its respective Affiliates), except Liability arising out of a breach of this Agreement in which case the aggrieved party shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity (provided, that in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 6.1(e), Sellers sole remedy shall be to receive payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 6.2 and upon receipt by Seller of $9.0 million pursuant to Section 6.2, there shall be no other Liability on the part of Seller or Buyer (and their respective Affiliates) other than pursuant to the Confidentiality Agreement as set forth in this Section 6.1(h)). In the event of such termination, the Confidentiality Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (to the extent not previously terminated) and shall only terminate pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein, and the parties shall be entitled to all rights and remedies specified therein. |
a. | In the case of any Straddle Period, the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, elect with the relevant Tax Authority for all Tax purposes to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable period of each of the Related Entities. Where not so permitted, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the Pre-Closing Portion shall be either (i) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, such as real property Taxes, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Pre-Closing Portion and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period or (ii) in all other cases, deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable period ended on and included the Closing Date. | ||
b. | Whenever in accordance with this Article VII, Seller shall be required to make a payment to Buyer, unless otherwise specified, such payments shall be made the later of ten calendar days after requested or three calendar days before Buyer or any of the Related Entities is required to pay the related Tax Liability to the relevant Tax Authority. |
a. | Seller shall control all proceedings involving any Tax Claim for Taxes of a Related Entity relating to all Pre-Closing Periods (including selection of counsel). Without limiting the foregoing, Seller may pursue or forego any and all administrative appeals, proceedings, hearings and conferences with any Tax Authority |
with respect thereto and may either pay the Tax Claim and sue for a refund where applicable Law permits such refund suits or contest such Tax Claim in any permissible manner; provided, however, that with respect to any portion of such Tax Claim that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact Buyer or a Related Entity, Seller shall not settle any such portion of the Tax Claim without Buyers prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. | |||
b. | Seller and Buyer shall jointly control and have the right to participate in all proceedings involving any Tax Claim relating to Taxes of a Related Entity for a Straddle Period. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall settle any such Tax Claim without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned. | ||
c. | With respect to all Tax Claims which Seller controls in accordance with Section 7.2(b), Seller shall keep Buyer informed in respect of all material aspects of such Tax Claims, and Buyer and its counsel may participate in all proceedings related to any such Tax Claims, at its own expense, that could reasonably be expected to materially adversely impact Buyer or any of its Affiliates. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer copies of all correspondence related to such Tax Claims received or sent by Seller or any Related Entity. If Seller determines that it will not contest such a Tax Claim, Seller shall so notify Buyer in a timely fashion and expressly affirm its obligation to indemnify Buyer in respect of such Tax Claim. Failing such notification, Buyer shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to take actions that it reasonably deems appropriate to protect its interests. Buyer and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in contesting any Tax Claim involving a Related Entity, which cooperation shall include the retention of records in accordance with Section 7.3(c) and (upon Sellers request) providing reasonable access to Seller and its representatives of records and information for the Taxes which are relevant to such Tax Claim and making employees available at reasonable times and without undue interference with the employers business operations to provide additional information or explanation of any material provided hereunder or to testify at proceedings relating to such Tax Claim. |
a. | Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid when due and payable all Taxes with respect to all Pre-Closing Returns and Straddle Period Returns that Buyer is responsible for preparing and filing under Section 7.3(a) (subject to its right of indemnification from Seller for Taxes pursuant to this Article VII). | ||
b. | Seller and Buyer shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, officers, employees, agents, auditors and representatives reasonably to cooperate, in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection with Taxes and in resolving all Tax Claims with respect to all taxable periods relating to Taxes. Buyer (including its Affiliates and successors) shall (i) retain and maintain all such records including all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of the Related Entities for each Pre-Closing Period and for all Straddle Periods until the latest of (A) the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, giving effect to valid extensions, (B) six years following the due date, giving effect to valid extensions for such Tax Returns or (C) any applicable Law which requires retention for a certain period of time and (ii) allow Seller and its respective agents and representatives (and agents or representatives of any of their Affiliates), upon reasonable notice and at mutually convenient times to inspect, review and make copies of such records (at Sellers expense) as Seller may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate from time to time. Any information obtained under this Section 7.3(c) shall be kept confidential except as may be otherwise necessary |
in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding. | |||
c. | Any Tax refund (including any interest in respect thereof) received by Buyer or any of its Affiliates including the Related Entities, and any amounts credited against Tax to which any of such parties become entitled (including by way of any amended Tax Returns) that relate to any Taxes for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 7.1(a) shall be for the account of Seller, and Buyer shall pay to Seller any such refund or the amount of any such credit within ten days after receipt of such refund or entitlement to such credit. Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to cooperate, and cause the Related Entities to use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate, in obtaining any refund or credit that Seller reasonably believes it is entitled to, including, through filing appropriate forms with the applicable Tax Authority. Any reasonable out-of-pocket expense incurred by Buyer or the Related Entities in connection with such activities shall be reimbursed by Seller within ten days of notice by Buyer or the Related Entities of incurring such expense. |
a. | Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, advisors, agents, representatives and employees and their successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (collectively, the Seller Indemnified Parties) from, against and in respect of any damages, losses, charges, Liabilities, claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, payments, judgments, settlements, assessments, deficiencies, Taxes, interest, penalties and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys fees and expenses), other than any consequential, incidental, lost profits, punitive, indirect or special damages (collectively, Damages), incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Party, whether in respect of third party claims, or claims between the parties hereto, provided such Damages arise out of or relate to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.3; (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.3 or (iii) the item set forth in Section 8.2(a) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule (the Scheduled Item) or any claim arising out of the facts, events or circumstances that are the basis of such item. | ||
b. | Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, partners, members, advisors, agents, representatives and employees and their successors and permitted assigns, each in their capacity as such (collectively, the Buyer Indemnified Parties and, together with the Seller Indemnified Parties, the Indemnified Parties) from, against and in respect of for, and will pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties the amount of any Damages incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Party, whether in respect of |
third party claims, or claims between the parties hereto, provided such Damages arise out of or relate to (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.2 or (ii) any breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.2. | |||
c. | Promptly upon the receipt by an Indemnified Party under Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b) of any notice of the commencement of any action, claim or other matter brought by a third party (a Third Party Claim), such Person shall give notice of such Third Party Claim to the party from whom indemnification is sought (the Indemnifying Party), but the failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any Liability it may have to such Person, except to the extent the defense of such Third Party Claim is prejudiced by such Persons failure to give notice. If an Indemnified Party gives such notice, the Indemnifying Party, upon giving notice to such Indemnified Party, will be entitled to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at the Indemnifying Partys sole cost and expense and the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to prosecute, appeal, negotiate, resolve, settle, compromise, arbitrate or otherwise pursue such Third Party Claim, in whole or in part, subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have provided such notice in respect of the Scheduled Item. In furtherance of the foregoing, with respect to the Scheduled Item, the Indemnifying Party shall maintain complete control over the defense and prosecution of any and all confirmation, vacatur, set aside, recognition, enforcement, or execution actions or defenses initiated in connection with the Scheduled Item regardless of the jurisdiction which the action is initiated, and shall maintain complete and exclusive control over the conduct of the Scheduled Item and of any judicial or other type of action related in any way to the Scheduled Item. If the Indemnifying Party exercises its rights to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim (including the Scheduled Item), the Indemnifying Party shall have no obligation to indemnify or pay for or reimburse any Indemnified Party for any attorneys fees, investigation costs or litigation expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party after the assumption of the defense of such Third Party Claim. The Indemnified Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, make any payment to any Person in connection with or related |
to the Scheduled Item until such time as the enforceability of any award issued by the arbitral tribunal with respect to the Scheduled Item shall be considered final and not appealable in the jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought, and then only to the extent of the value of the property immediately at risk in the enforcement action through execution or like process. The Indemnifying Party agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened Third Party Claim, including the Scheduled Item, relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Liability arising or that may arise out of such Third Party Claim or provides solely for monetary relief satisfied by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Third Party Claim by an Indemnified Party without the Indemnifying Partys written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. | |||
d. | No indemnity shall be payable to any Indemnified Party with respect to any claim under this Section 8.2 resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty unless and until the aggregate of all Damages due from the Indemnifying Party exceed $900,000 and then only by Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties and by Buyer to the Seller Indemnified Parties to the extent of such excess; provided, however, that the aggregate amount payable by Seller to the Buyer Indemnified Parties and by Buyer to the Seller Indemnified Parties with respect to claims under this Section 8.2 resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty shall not exceed 25 % of the Base Purchase Price; provided further, however, that such $900,000 deductible and such limitation on the maximum aggregate amount payable to any indemnified party shall not be applicable to (i) Damages arising out of breaches or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3(a) and 2.15, (ii) Damages arising out of or resulting from fraud by the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) Damages arising in respect of the indemnification provided by Section 8.2(a)(iii). | ||
e. | Absent fraud, the indemnity provided herein shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any Damages sustained or incurred resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by Seller or Buyer in this Agreement. |
f. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8.2, the above provisions of this Section 8.2 shall not apply to Tax indemnification matters and indemnification shall not be provided under this Section 8.2 for Taxes (or Damages relating to Taxes), all such matters and any such indemnification being exclusively governed by Article VII. | ||
g. | The amount of any Damages payable under this Section 8.2 by the Indemnifying Party shall be net of any amounts recovered by the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from third parties and net of any Tax benefits available to the Indemnified Party as a result of incurring the Damages. | ||
h. | The Parties agree that any indemnity payments pursuant to this Agreement will be treated for Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Initial or the Adjusted Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. | ||
i. | With respect to any indemnification resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation made by Seller or Buyer in this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability unless the Indemnified Party gives notice to the Indemnifying Party with respect thereto within the applicable survival period provided for in Section 8.1. | ||
j. | Each Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable best efforts, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, to mitigate any claim or liability that an Indemnified Party asserts or is reasonably likely to assert under this Article VIII, provided that in no event shall an Indemnified Party be required to take any action that would be reasonably likely to have an adverse effect on its business, properties, assets, operations, or condition (financial or otherwise) or those of any Related Entity. | ||
k. | The right to indemnification or other remedy based on the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein will not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any Knowledge acquired by Buyer of Seller, as the case may be, at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of, or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. |
