(b) The Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to each Seller: (i) the Repurchase Consideration by check or wire transfer to an account designated by each of the Sellers, and (ii) a copy, certified by the corporate secretary of the Company, of the Board resolution of the Company approving this Agreement and the repurchase of the Shares.


3. Company Representations. In repurchasing the Shares, the Company acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Sellers that:

 

(a) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has full and adequate right, power, capacity and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.

 

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

(c) The Company has not engaged any investment banker, broker, or finder in connection with the repurchase of the Shares hereunder and no broker’s or similar fee is payable by the Company or any of its affiliates in connection with the repurchase of the Shares hereunder.

 

(d) The repurchase of the Shares by the Company will not conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any law applicable to the Company or the charter documents of the Company or the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or bound, or any judgment, order or decree applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company.

 

(e) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by the Company of the repurchase of the Shares hereunder.

 

(f) Except for the express representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither the Seller, nor any of its affiliates, attorneys, accountants and financial and other advisors, has made any representations or warranties to the Company.

 

4. Seller Representations. Each Seller acknowledges, represents and warrants to the Company, severally as to itself and not as to any other Seller, that:

(b) 60 LP is a limited partnership validly existing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Seller has full and adequate right, power, capacity and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.

(e) The Seller is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares set forth opposite the Seller’s name on Schedule I, and upon the Closing will transfer to the Company, good and marketable title to all of the Shares owned by such Seller, free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, restrictions, options or other encumbrances of any kind. The Seller has not granted any option of any sort with respect to the Shares owned by such Seller or any right to acquire the Shares owned by such Seller or any interest therein other than to the Company under this Agreement.

 

(f) The transfer of the Shares owned by the Seller will not conflict with, result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any law applicable to the Seller or the limited partnership agreement of the Seller or the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which such Seller is a party or bound, or any judgment, order or decree applicable to such Seller of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Seller.

 

(g) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental agency or body is required for the consummation by such Seller of the sale of the Shares owned by such Seller hereunder.

 

(h) The Seller has independently investigated and evaluated the value of the Shares owned by such Seller and the financial condition and affairs of the Company without reliance upon any information from the Company or its affiliates other than what is available publicly. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, attorneys, accountants or financial or other advisors has furnished any information to the Seller that was used by the Seller in determining to transfer the Shares owned by such Seller, other than such information as is contained in this Agreement. Based upon its independent analysis of such information, together with information obtained from sources other than the Company and its affiliates, the Seller has reached its own business decision to effect the sale of Shares owned by such Seller contemplated hereby. The Seller is not in possession of any material non-public information that would preclude the Seller from transferring the Shares owned by such Seller hereunder in compliance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or that would cause the transfer of the Shares owned by such Seller hereunder to violate the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

 

(i) The Seller is sophisticated and capable of understanding and appreciating, and does understand and appreciate, that future events may occur that will increase the price of the Shares owned by such Seller, and that the Seller would be deprived of the opportunity to participate in any gain that might have resulted if such Seller had not transferred the Shares owned by such Seller to the Company hereunder.

 

(j) The Seller has not engaged any investment banker, broker, or finder in connection with the repurchase of Shares hereunder and no broker’s or similar fee is payable by the Seller or any of its affiliates in connection with the transfer of the Shares owned by such Seller hereunder.

 

(k) The Seller has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to cause or result in, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company in connection with the transfer of the Shares owned by such Seller hereunder.

(l) Except for the express representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, attorneys, accountants and financial and other advisors, has made any representations or warranties to the Seller.

 

5. Miscellaneous.

 

(a) Each party agrees to keep the contents and terms of this Agreement confidential and shall not disclose any such contents or terms to any third party, except to the extent the party is required by applicable law, regulation or legal process to make such disclosure, including such disclosure as the Company or the Sellers may reasonably determine to be required to comply with its Exchange Act reporting obligations.

 

(b) This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supercedes any and all prior agreements related to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement is executed without reliance upon any promise, warranty or representation by any party or any representative of any party other than those expressly contained herein. The respective agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company and the Sellers, as set forth in this Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation (or any statement as to the results thereof) made by or on behalf of the Company or the Sellers or any of their respective officers, directors or affiliates, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the Shares. This Agreement may not be assigned by the Sellers without the written consent of the Company and any such assignment without its written consent shall be void.
