(ii)      Seller has all necessary right and power to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for the approval contemplated by Section 4(a)(i) below, all necessary corporate proceedings of Seller have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery, and performance of Seller of this Agreement.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and constitutes a valid and binding obligation thereof, and is enforceable against Seller in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)          The Buyers, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to Seller as follows:

(i)       Each Buyer has all necessary right and power to enter into this Agreement and to carry out the obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Buyer and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of each Buyer and is enforceable against each Buyer in accordance with its terms.

(iii)     The Seller Shares are held beneficially and of record by the Buyers, free and clear of any security interest, pledge, mortgage, lien (including, without limitation, environmental and tax liens), charge, encumbrance, adverse claim, preferential arrangement or restriction of any kind, including, without limitation, any restriction on the use, voting, transfer (except as otherwise provided herein), receipt of income or other exercise of any attributes of ownership, and such securities are not subject to any pre-emptive or similar rights of stockholders.

Section 3.          Covenants.

(a)           Seller hereby agrees as follows:

 

(i)           Seller will conduct its affairs so that at the Closing, no representation or warranty of Seller will be inaccurate in any material respect, no covenant or agreement of Seller will be breached, and no condition in this Agreement will remain unfulfilled by reason of the actions or omissions of Seller.

(ii)           Seller will immediately advise the Buyers in a detailed written notice of any material fact or occurrence or any pending or threatened material occurrence of which it obtains knowledge and which (if existing and known at the date of the execution of this Agreement) would have been required to be set forth or disclosed in or pursuant to this Agreement, which (if existing and known at any time prior to or at the Closing) would make the performance by any party of a covenant contained in this Agreement impossible or make such performance materially more difficult than in the absence of such fact or occurrence, or which (if existing and known at the time of the Closing) would cause a condition to any party’s obligations under this Agreement not to be fully satisfied.

(iii)          Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to insure that all confidential information which Seller or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, investment bankers, or accountants may now possess or may hereafter create or obtain relating to the financial condition, results of operations, businesses, properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects of VFC, any affiliate thereof, or any customer or supplier thereof or of any such affiliate shall not be published, disclosed, or made accessible by any of them to any other person or entity at any time or used by any of them except in the ordinary course of business and for the benefit of VFC; provided, however, that the restrictions of this sentence shall not apply (A) after this Agreement is terminated, (B) as may otherwise be required by law, (C) as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, or (D) to the extent the information shall have otherwise become publicly available.

(ii)           Each Buyer will immediately advise the Seller in a detailed written notice of any material fact or occurrence or any pending or threatened material occurrence of which it obtains knowledge and which (if existing and known at the date of the execution of this Agreement) would have been required to be set forth or disclosed in or pursuant to this Agreement, which (if existing and known at any time prior to or at the Closing) would make the performance by any party of a covenant contained in this Agreement impossible or make such performance materially more difficult than in the absence of such fact or occurrence, or which (if existing and known at the time of the Closing) would cause a condition to any party’s obligations under this Agreement not to be fully satisfied.

 

(iii)          Each Buyer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to insure that all confidential information which it or any of its respective officers, directors, employees, counsel, agents, investment bankers, or accountants may now possess or may hereafter create or obtain relating to the financial condition, results of operations, businesses, properties, assets, liabilities, or future prospects of Seller, any affiliate thereof, or any customer or supplier thereof or of any such affiliate shall not be published, disclosed, or made accessible by any of them to any other person or entity at any time or used by any of them except in the ordinary course of business and for the benefit of Seller; provided, however, that the restrictions of this sentence shall not apply (A) as may otherwise be required by law, (B) as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, or (C) to the extent the information shall have otherwise become publicly available.
