(a)      The aggregate consideration payable by Buyer to MEDCO for the Transferred Assets is $6,775,000, plus an amount equal to the value of the Adjustment Inventory listed in Schedule 1.1(b), as such value is set forth on the books and records of the Business as of the date at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing (the “Purchase Price”).  At the Closing, (i) Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to MEDCO in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated in writing to Buyer at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, and (ii) MEDCO shall pay the Indemnity Escrow Amount set forth in Section 1.6(d) below to the Escrow Agent (as defined in Section 1.6(d)).

 

(b)      The Purchase Price shall be allocated to and among the respective Transferred Assets as reasonably determined by the parties promptly following the Closing Date, but in all cases within 60 days after the Closing Date.  Neither party shall take any position on any Tax Return or other report filed with any Governmental Authority (or in any Proceeding before any Governmental Authority) that is in any manner inconsistent with the allocation agreed to by the parties. The parties shall promptly advise each other of the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to any allocation hereunder.

 

(c)      All of the items listed below relating to the Transferred Assets will be prorated as of the Closing, with MEDCO liable to the extent such items relate to any time period prior to the Closing, and with Buyer (with effect from the Closing) liable to the extent such items relate to time periods beginning after the Closing:

 

(i)           rents and other items payable by MEDCO under any Transferred Contract;

 

(ii)           the amount of any registration or permit fees with respect to any registrations or permits that are being assigned or transferred hereunder; and

 

(iii)           the amount of sewer rents and charges for water, telephone, equipment driver and control services and all other utilities.

 

MEDCO shall furnish Buyer with such documents and other records as Buyer reasonably requests in order to confirm all prorating calculations made pursuant to this section.  If current payments with respect to items to be prorated pursuant to this section are not ascertainable on or before the Closing Date, then such payments shall be prorated on the basis of the most recently ascertainable bill therefor.  At Closing, MEDCO shall pay to Buyer the prorated portion of such items and Buyer shall thereafter be responsible for payment of the entire amount of such items when due.  All items subject to this Section 1.6(b) shall be again prorated between MEDCO and Buyer when the current bills with respect to such items have been issued (but not later than 30 days after the Closing Date), and in each case a cash settlement shall be made between MEDCO and Buyer promptly thereafter.

 

 

(d)      At the Closing, MEDCO shall deposit an amount equal to Three Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand Seven Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($338,750) constituting five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Indemnity Escrow Amount”) with an escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), pursuant to an escrow agreement (“Escrow Agreement”).  The Indemnity Escrow Amount, together with income earned thereon as provided in the Escrow Agreement (the “Indemnity Escrowed Funds”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement as a source of funds for paying (i) any amount owed by MEDCO to Buyer pursuant to Section 9.2, (ii) the amount by which the actual redemptions of Gift Cards after the Closing Date exceeds 80% of the total face value of all Gift Cards (which excess amount shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4), and (iii) the amount of all Promotions (which shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.4). The Indemnity Escrowed Funds will be released to Buyer or MEDCO when and as provided in the Escrow Agreement.  All costs and expenses, and any indemnities in favor, of the Escrow Agent shall be paid one-half by Buyer, on the one hand, and one-half by MEDCO, on the other hand.  If one party pays more than its allocable share of such payments to the Escrow Agent, the other party will promptly reimburse the paying party for the amount of the excess payment.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, on the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date, any unclaimed balance of the Indemnity Escrowed Funds remaining in the possession of the Escrow Agent shall be released to MEDCO.

10.3.           Amendment and Waiver.  This Agreement may be amended, modified, supplemented or changed in whole or in part only by an agreement in writing making specific reference to this Agreement and executed by each of the parties hereto.  Any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement may be waived in whole or in part, but only by an agreement in writing making specific reference to this Agreement and executed by the party that is entitled to the benefit thereof.  The failure of any party hereto to insist upon strict performance of or compliance with the provisions of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any right of any such party hereunder or prohibit or limit the right of such party to insist upon strict performance or compliance at any other time.

 

10.4.           Binding Agreement and Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.7.           Limitation on MEDCO’S Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the obligations of MEDCO to make any payments hereunder or under any of the other documents described herein shall be limited to the Indemnity Escrowed Funds.  Any claim based on or with respect to any liability of MEDCO for (i) any payment hereunder or under any of the other documents described herein, (ii) the performance of any other covenant, agreement, term or condition contained herein or in any of the other documents described herein; or (iii) any breach of the representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement, or breach of any other document described herein, shall be enforced only against the Indemnity Escrowed Funds, and not against any other assets, properties or funds of MEDCO or against any assets, properties or funds of any director, official, officer, employee, successor, assign or agent of MEDCO, it being the agreement of the Parties that the claims against Indemnity Escrowed Funds represent the sole and exclusive remedy available against MEDCO in connection with this Agreement.  No obligation or agreement of MEDCO hereunder or under any of the other documents described herein shall be construed to constitute an obligation of the State of Maryland or any political subdivision or public body thereof or a debt of the State of Maryland or any political subdivision or public body thereof or as a pledge of the general credit or faith or taxing powers of the State of Maryland or any political subdivision or any public body thereof.  It is agreed that the limitation on MEDCO’s liability described herein shall be deemed incorporated into every provision of this Agreement and the other documents described herein.

 

10.8.           Remedies.  MEDCO and the Buyer each hereby acknowledge that their obligations under this Agreement are unique and that any breach or threatened breach of such obligations may result in irreparable harm and substantial damages to the other party.  Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement, the other party shall have the right, in addition to exercising any other remedies at law or equity that may be available to it under this Agreement or otherwise, to obtain ex parte, preliminary, interlocutory, temporary or permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and other equitable remedies in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent a party from violating such provision or provisions or to prevent the continuance of any violation thereof, together with an award or judgment for any and all damages, losses, liabilities, expenses and costs incurred by the other party as a result of such breach or threatened breach, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection with, or as a result of, the enforcement of this Agreement.  Each of the parties expressly waives any requirement based on any statute, rule or procedure, or other source, that Buyer post a bond as a condition of obtaining any of the above described remedies.
