Seller and Buyer acknowledge that after Closing each party may need access to information or documents in the control or possession of the other Party for the purposes of concluding the transactions herein contemplated.  Accordingly, each Party shall keep, preserve and maintain in the ordinary course of business, and as required by law and relevant insurance carriers, all books, records (including student records), documents and other information in the possession or control of such Party and relevant to the foregoing purposes at least until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations or extensions thereof. Each Party shall cooperate fully with, and make available for inspection and copying by, the other Party, its employees, agents, counsel and accountants or governmental agencies, upon written request and at the expense of the requesting Party, such books, records documents and other information to the extent reasonably necessary to facilitate the foregoing purposes.

 

 

11.1           Indemnification by Sellers.  Subject to and only to the extent provided in this Section 11.1, from and after the Closing, Sellers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer after the Closing from and against any claims, demands, suits, judgments, and losses made against, incurred, or suffered by Buyer directly or indirectly, for the period prior to the Closing and/or as a result of or arising from:

 

(a)

the breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers contained herein; or

 

(b)

the nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of Sellers set forth in this Agreement or any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document signed by the Parties and delivered or to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement; or

 

(c)

any act or omission relating to the offer or sale of any franchise by Franchising, or claims arising out of or related to Franchising’s performance or alleged failure to perform under any Franchise Agreement, including claims subject to indemnification under the Assignment and Assumption of Franchise Agreements,

 

The obligations of Sellers under this paragraph are joint and several.

 

11.2           Indemnification by Buyer.   Subject to and only to the extent provided in this Section 11.2, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, after the Closing, from and against any claims, demands, suits, judgments, and losses made against, incurred, or suffered by Seller directly or indirectly, for the period following the Closing and/or as a result of or arising from:

 

(a)

(b)

the nonfulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or any agreement, instrument, certificate or other document signed by the Parties and delivered or to be delivered pursuant to this Agreement.

 

11.3           Survival of Representations and Warranties; Indemnity Period.  Notwithstanding any right of Buyer (whether or not exercised) to investigate the affairs of Sellers, or any right of any Party (whether or not exercised) to investigate the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement, Sellers have, on the one hand, and Buyer has, on the other hand, the right to rely fully upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the other contained in this Agreement. The representations and warranties respectively made by Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, in this Agreement or in any certificate respectively delivered by Sellers or Buyer will survive the Closing for twenty-four (24) months after the Closing.

 

11.4           Claims for Indemnification. Whenever any claim shall arise for indemnification hereunder the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”), shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the claim and, when unknown, the facts constituting the basis for such claim. In the event of any such claim for indemnification hereunder resulting from or in connection with any claim or legal proceedings by a third-party, the notice to the Indemnifying Party shall specify, if known, the amount or an estimate of the amount of the liability arising therefrom. The Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any claim by a third party for which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless suit shall have been instituted against it.  No party may agree to equitable relief against the other party without such other party’s written consent, given in its sole discretion.

 

11.5           Defense by Indemnifying Party. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any claim or legal proceeding by a person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense may, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, assume the defense of any such claim or legal proceeding if it acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to all elements of such claim. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its counsel and at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom within 30 days after the date notice of such claim is made, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against such claim or litigation, in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such claim or litigation, after giving notice of the same to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate, and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such action, with its counsel at its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party thereafter seeks to question the manner in which the Indemnified Party defended such third party claim or the amount or nature of any such settlement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the burden to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the Indemnified Party did not defend or settle such third party claim in a reasonably prudent manner.

 

11.6           Payment of Indemnification Obligation. All indemnification by the Buyer or the Sellers hereunder shall be effected by payment of cash or delivery of a cashier’s or certified check in the amount of the indemnification liability. With respect to indemnification claims against Sellers (or any of them), Buyer, at its option, shall have the right to offset the amount of such liability against payments due under the Madison Note, the Covington Note, and/or the Franchising Note, as Buyer elects in its sole discretion.

 

 

12.1           Schedules. The Schedules and Exhibits attached to this Agreement are incorporated by reference herein.

 

12.2           Time of Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement. This Section may not be waived except in a writing signed by the Parties expressly referring hereof.

 

12.3           Consents. Approvals and Discretion. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, whenever this Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by any party or any party must or may exercise discretion, such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.

 

12.4           Expenses; Legal Fees and Costs. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, all expenses of the preparation of this Agreement and of the purchase of the Assets, including counsel fees, accounting fees, brokerage or finder fees and commissions, investment advisor’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid or accrued by the party incurring such expense, whether or not such transactions are consummated.

 

12.5           Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Forum Selection. This Agreement (including its Schedules and Exhibits, except as otherwise expressly provided therein) and the parties relationship created hereby is governed by Texas law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.  This Agreement shall be performed in Dallas County, Texas and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the County of Dallas, Texas. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibit to this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided therein), the Contribution Agreement, or Amici Enterprises Operating Agreement, shall be brought and prosecuted exclusively in a state or federal court situated in Dallas County, Texas. The Parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts, and waive all questions of personal and subject matter jurisdiction or venue for the purpose of carrying out this provision. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may bring an action for injunctive relief to enforce the noncompete provisions contained in Section 8.4. in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

12.6           Benefit/Assignment.  Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided that no party may assign this Agreement or any part hereof; or delegate any duty or obligation to be performed hereunder, to another Person without the prior written consent of the other party.

 

12.7           No Third Party Beneficiary. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of Buyer and its designees and Seller and its respective successors or assigns, and it is not the intention of the parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

 

12.8           No Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach or violation by another party of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach or violation of the same, or a breach or violation of any other provision hereof. All remedies, either under this Agreement, or by law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

 

12.9           Notices. Any notice, demand or communication required, permitted or desired to be given hereunder shall be deemed effectively given when personally delivered, when received by facsimile or other electronic means, when confirmed as delivered by courier, or the date of receipt as confirmed by the United States Postal Service, in any event addressed as follows:

Title: COO   

THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION OF FRANCHISE AGREEMENTS (“Assignment”) is entered into by and between Amici Franchising, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (“Assignor”) and Amici Franchising, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Assignee”).

 

WHEREAS, Assignor franchises the operation of full service, family style Italian restaurants offering a variety of pizzas, pastas, wings, salads, and sandwiches (“AMICI ITALIAN CAFÉ Restaurants);

 

WHEREAS, Assignor has granted four franchises, the terms and conditions of which are memorialized in four written franchise agreements described on Schedule A (the “Franchise Agreements”);

 

WHEREAS, Assignor desires to assign to Assignee certain of its rights under the Franchise Agreements and to delegate certain of its obligations under the Franchise Agreement, and Assignee desires to accept such rights and assume such obligations, all as set forth in this Assignment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises set forth in this Assignment and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.           Assignment of Rights. Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee, and Assignee hereby accepts, all of Assignor’s rights under the Franchise Agreements that accrue on or after the date of this Assignment.

 

2.           Assumption of Obligations.  Assignee hereby delegates to Assignee, and Assignee hereby assumes, all of Assignors obligations under the Franchise Agreements that accrue on or after the date of this Assignment.

 

3.           Timely Discharge of Obligations; Indemnification.  The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that Assignee is not assuming any liability for obligations accruing prior to the date of this Assignment.  Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Assignment, Assignee assumes no liability for any claims or obligations (whether sounding in contract or tort, whether disclosed or undisclosed), arising out of or related to the Franchise Agreements, that have accrued prior to the date of this Assignment, or any claims or obligations, arising out of or related to the Franchise Agreements, that are based on actions or omissions occurring prior to the date of this Assignment (each a “Claim”).  Assignor shall timely discharge all obligations not being assumed, and shall indemnify Assignor for all liability and damages (including the amount of any settlement) arising out of or related to such Claim.

 

4.           Right to Offset.  Assignor and Assignee are parties to a certain promissory note relating to the transfer and assignment of the Franchise Agreements.  If Assignee sustains any liability or damage as a result of any Claim subject to indemnification, Assignee may, at its option and in its discretion and for purposes of exercising its right of indemnification under paragraph 3, above, offset against payments due under the promissory note the amount of the liability or damages. The rights under this paragraph are cumulative and not in lieu of any other rights or remedies available under applicable law.

 

5.           Choice of Law, Jurisdiction, and Forum Selection. This Agreement and the parties relationship created hereby is governed by Texas law, without regard to conflicts of laws principles. This Agreement shall be performed in Dallas County, Texas and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas and the County of Dallas, Texas. Any dispute arising out of this Agreement shall be brought and prosecuted exclusively in a state or federal court situated in Dallas County, Texas. The parties irrevocably consent to the personal jurisdiction of these courts, and waive all questions of personal and subject matter jurisdiction or venue for the purpose of carrying out this provision.

 

6.           Miscellaneous.  This Agreement may be modified or amended only by a writing signed by both Assignor and Assignee.  This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, and if so executed, each of such counterparts shall be deemed an original for all purposes, and all such counterparts shall, collectively, constitute one agreement.

 

7.           Default; Assignor’s Right to Rescind.  The foregoing transaction is part of an integrated transaction involving the acquisition of assets used in connection with an AMICI’S ITALIAN CAFÉ restaurant located at 113 S. Main Street, Madison, Georgia 30650 and an AMICI’S ITALIAN CAFÉ restaurant located at 1116 College, Covington, Georgia 30014, and assets used in connection with franchising the operation of AMICI’S ITALIAN CAFÉ restaurants.  In connection with such acquisitions, affiliates of Debtor are entering into financing documents referred to herein as the “Madison Financing Documents,” the “Covington Financing Documents,” and the “Franchising Financing Documents.”  In the event of a default under the Madison Financing Documents, the Covington Financing Documents, or the Franchising Financing Documents that results in a foreclosure of assets, the assignment represented by this Agreement shall be deemed rescinded, null and void; provided that, in the event of such rescission, all of the covenants and indemnification obligations contained in this Agreement will remain in full effect.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has executed this Assignment on and to be effective as of the 23rd day of February, 2011.

The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event that any Seller declares a default under any of the Financing Documents, Buyer shall have the right to rescind the entire transaction and all constituent agreements by delivering written notice of rescission to the other party. In the event of such rescission, the rescinding party shall be liable to the non-rescinding party for restitution damages, but will have no liability for reliance damages. Subject to this limitation, the right to rescission shall be cumulative.

 

IN WITNESS HEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be executed in multiple originals by their authorized officers, all as of the date and year first written above
