For the avoidance of doubt, the Transferred Assets shall not, and shall not be deemed to, include any of the Excluded Assets, and neither Purchaser nor Parent shall be deemed to assume any of the Excluded Liabilities.

 

Section 2.2 Purchase Price. The Parties hereto agree that the Purchase Price shall be Nine Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,500,000) (the “Purchase Price”). The Parent and the Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price to the Sellers or their designees as hereinafter provided (it being understood that the Parent and the Purchaser are jointly and severally liable for the obligation to pay the Purchase Price as hereinafter set forth):

 

(a) On or prior to the date of this Agreement, Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) shall be delivered by the Parent and the Purchaser by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an escrow account established by the Parent and the Purchaser’s counsel in such Parent and Purchaser’s counsel’s IOLTA Trust Account to be held by Parent and Purchaser’s counsel, as escrow agent under an escrow agreement entered into on or prior to the date hereof among the parties hereto and certain investors in the Parent’s securities (the “Escrow Agreement”), said escrow funds to be paid to the Sellers at the Closing in accordance with the Escrow Agreement and this Agreement.

 

(b) On or before the ninetieth (90th) day following the Closing Date, the Parent and the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Second Payment”) in immediately available funds to an account specified by the Sellers in writing; provided that on or before the date hereof the Parent and the Purchaser shall deliver to the Sellers a letter of credit in form and substance satisfactory to the Sellers that secures the Parent and the Purchaser’s obligation to make the Second Payment.

(c) The Parent and the Purchaser shall pay to the Sellers a continuing royalty on net cash (invoiced amount less sales refunds, returns, rebates, allowances and similar items) actually received by Purchaser or its Affiliates from sales of the Consumer Products, commencing with net cash actually received by the Purchaser or its Affiliates from and after the Closing Date and continuing until the total royalty paid to Sellers totals Four Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000), calculated as set forth below. The Parent and the Purchaser shall make royalty payments under this Section 2.2(c) to the Sellers on a monthly basis in arrears within thirty days of each month end. Upon request, the Parent and the Purchaser shall provide PHMD with financial records reasonably required to verify net cash actually received by the Purchaser or its Affiliates from sales of the Consumer Products during the applicable period. PHMD may make such a request no more often than once every three months. The Parent and the Purchaser shall cooperate fully with PHMD with respect to these requests and shall provide reasonably requested records within 15 days of any such request. PHMD agrees to keep all records provided by the Parent and the Purchaser confidential and to either destroy or return the records to the Parent or the Purchaser upon completion of its audit. Any discrepancies found will be reviewed by the Parent and the Purchaser and, if confirmed, corrected by way of a refund or payment, as appropriate. In the event of confirmed discrepancies or a determination by the Independent Accountant (as defined below) that resulted in a shortfall to the Sellers of more than 5% of payments to which it was entitled for the time period in question, then, in addition to paying the amount of the shortfall, the Parent and the Purchaser shall reimburse PHMD for the reasonable costs of the audit (including fees and expenses of the Independent Accountant. In the event that Parent/Purchaser and PHMD cannot resolve any discrepancies within thirty (30) days of PHMD’s written notice thereof to Parent/Purchaser, then at any time thereafter, PHMD may submit the disputed items for final review and determination by an independent accountant of nationally recognized standing selected by the New York Regional Office of the American Arbitration Association in accordance with the procedures of the American Arbitration Association (the “Independent Accountant”). Each of the Parent/Purchaser and PHMD shall be party to the engagement letter entered into with the Independent Accountant. The Independent Accountant shall act as an arbitrator to resolve the disputed items in question in accordance with the provisions and definitions in this Agreement. The Independent Accountant shall provide its final determination to the Purchaser/Parent and PHMD in writing with a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for its determinations. All such determinations shall be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder (other than for fraud or manifest error), and may be entered and enforced in any court having jurisdiction. All costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant shall be borne equally by Purchaser/Parent, on the one hand, and PHMD, on the other hand; provided, however, that if a determination by the Independent Accountant that resulted in a shortfall to the Sellers of more than 5% of payments to which it was entitled for the time period in question, then, in addition to paying the amount of the shortfall, the Parent and the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses of the Independent Accountant.

Section 2.5 Non-Assignable Asset. To the extent that any Business Asset is not assignable without the consent of another party, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment thereof if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder. The Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such other party to the assignment of any such Business Asset to Purchaser in all cases in which such consent is or may be required for such assignment. If any such consent shall not be obtained with respect to any such Business Asset (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset”), to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement, (a) the Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in any mutually agreeable reasonable arrangement designed to provide to Purchaser substantially equivalent benefits to those that would have been assigned to Purchaser with respect to the relevant Non-Assignable Asset had such consent been obtained, including enforcement thereof and of all rights of the Sellers against any other Person with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset, (b) the Sellers shall take all such actions and do, or cause to be done, all such things as shall reasonably be necessary and proper in order that the value of any Non-Assignable Assets shall be preserved and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser, (c) the Sellers shall pay over to Purchaser promptly following receipt, all monies collected by or paid to the Sellers in respect of such Non-Assignable Assets, and (d) the Purchaser shall have the sole responsibility for all obligations and liabilities arising out of such Non-Assignable Assets to the extent that the same would have constituted Assumed Liabilities had such consent been obtained.

The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, in and of itself, shall not be deemed to limit or prevent either Party from entering into, maintaining, pursuing or negotiating its own business relationship with any counter party to a Consumer Business Vendor Contract, subject to the Parties’ compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5.6.

 

Section 2.7 Transfer of the Securities. At the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver to the Purchaser duly executed stock powers and other instruments of transfer in form and substance satisfactory to the Purchaser as are necessary to transfer the ownership of the Securities to the Purchaser in accordance with all applicable Legal Requirements. At the Closing, the Purchaser or its designee shall become the legal and beneficial owner of the Securities, which, as of the Closing, shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding securities of the Foreign Subsidiaries.

 

 14 
  

 

Section 2.8 Withholding Tax. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Purchaser may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of the Code or any provision of applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, all such amounts withheld by Purchaser shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Sellers by Purchaser. To the extent that Purchaser becomes aware of any withholding Taxes applicable to the payment of the Purchase Price (other than due to a failure to provide the certificates specified in Section 2.4(b)(iv)), Purchaser shall provide prompt written notice to the Sellers of the amount of such Tax and the reason for such withholding. The Parties will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to minimize withholding Taxes on the payments contemplated by this Agreement.

No Proceeding has been instituted or, to Sellers’ Knowledge, is threatened against any of the Employee Benefit Plans (other than routine claims for benefits and appeals of such claims). Each Employee Benefit Plan complies in form and has been established, administered and maintained in all material respects in accordance with its terms and applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, ERISA and the Code. No Employee Benefit Plan is under an audit or investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, U.S. Department of Labor, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation or any other Governmental Entity. No Employee Benefit Plan provides any post-retirement health and welfare benefits to any current or former employee of the Sellers, except as required under Section 4980B of the Code, Part 6 of Title I of ERISA or any other applicable state or local Legal Requirement. No non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as such term is defined in Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, and no circumstance has occurred that would subject the Sellers to a Tax or penalty imposed by either Section 502(i) of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3, each of Parent and Purchaser agrees from and after the Closing Date to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PHMD and all of its and its Affiliates’ respective officers, managers, directors, shareholders, members, Affiliates, employees and agents (the “Seller Indemnified Persons”) from and against any Losses actually incurred by the Seller Indemnified Persons arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by Parent or Purchaser of any representation or warranty of Parent or Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) any breach by Parent or Purchaser of any covenant or other obligation or agreement of Purchaser contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, and (iii) the Assumed Liabilities; provided, in each case, that the relevant Seller Indemnified Person has submitted to Parent and Purchaser a Notice of Claim or Third Party Notice, as applicable, in respect thereof prior to the date of expiration of any applicable survival period specified in Section 7.3.

 

Section 7.2 Procedures for Indemnification.

 

(a) If any Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim indemnification hereunder for any matter (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Section 7.1, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of facts which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that will serve the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the claim), all in reasonable detail; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Purchaser, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. If PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, at any time deliver to the Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to such Notice of Claim. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, the Parties shall have the rights and remedies, if any, available to them under this Agreement or applicable Legal Requirements.

 

 39 
  

 

(b) If an Indemnified Person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 7.1, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of such Third Party Claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail to the extent known by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Purchaser, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Person, upon notice to the Indemnified Person, may at any time within thirty (30) days after receiving a Third Party Notice, at its own cost and through counsel of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, defend any claim or demand set forth in a Third Party Notice. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to compromise and settle all indemnifiable matters related to Third Party Claims which are susceptible to being settled and as to which it shall have properly assumed the defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim of all Indemnified Persons named in such Third Party Claim and the sole relief for which are monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that a particular Third Party Claim is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.3(b) and the aggregate amount of such Third Party Claim exceeds the Indemnifying Person’s applicable maximum aggregate liability, the Indemnifying Person shall not reject any settlement or compromise offer without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall from time to time and otherwise at the Indemnified Person’s request apprise the Indemnified Person of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting Proceeding and shall furnish the Indemnified Person with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such claim, liability or expense or otherwise thereto as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request, and shall diligently defend the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability to any third party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Notice of Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have properly assumed the defense and shall cooperate fully in the manner requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the Indemnified Person shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, or if the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, which, in either case, would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken together). Until such time as the Indemnifying Person has timely delivered a notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense exercising reasonable business judgment; provided, that such compromise or settlement shall not be effected within the first thirty (30) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Third Party Notice without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

The disposition of such Tax Proceedings shall be governed by the procedures of Section 7.2; provided, however, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, PHMD shall have sole control over all Tax Proceedings that are disclosed on the Disclosure Letter hereto, and all Tax Proceedings with respect to a Foreign Subsidiary where the applicable Tax Returns are not filed by a Foreign Subsidiary separately from PHMD or its Affiliates, and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall have participation rights, or the ability to approve settlements of, such Tax Proceedings, and Purchaser shall promptly cause PHMD to receive all authorizations necessary to conduct and dispose of such Tax Proceedings, provided however, that no settlement of such Tax Proceedings shall entered into without the prior written consent of the Purchaser (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the settlement has an adverse tax effect on Purchaser or its Affiliates (including a Foreign Subsidiary) for taxable periods (or portions thereof) beginning after the Closing Date or results in a Tax liability for which Purchaser would not be fully indemnified by PHMD under this Agreement.
