(xiii)         the personal property, equipment and furniture, if any, listed on Section 1.1(b)(xiii) of the Seller Disclosure Letter; and

(xiv)         the assets set forth on Section 1.1(b)(xiv) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

(c)                Assumed Liabilities. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Sellers agree to assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to assume and agrees to pay, perform and discharge when due only the Assumed Liabilities after the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the Purchaser shall not assume or otherwise become liable for any Liabilities of the Sellers or their respective Affiliates other than the Assumed Liabilities. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Assumed Liabilities” shall mean and include only the following:

(i)                all liabilities, obligations and duties solely arising after the Closing under any and all Assumed Contracts and Assumed Real Property Leases other than any liabilities arising out of any breach, default or failure to perform on or prior to the Closing Date under any Assumed Contract or Assumed Real Property Lease;

(ii)               all Cure Costs;

(iii)             all obligations and liabilities of the Sellers and RMST arising after the Closing with respect to the Revised Covenants and Conditions other than any liabilities arising out of any breach, default or failure to perform thereunder on or prior to the Closing Date; and

(iv)             the liabilities of DinoKing set forth in Section 1.1(c)(iv) of the Seller Disclosure Letter; provided that accounts payable and accrued liabilities shall not exceed CAD$270,000 in the aggregate (the “Assumed DinoKing Liabilities”).

1.2              Purchase Price. As consideration for the sale of the Transferred Assets, the Purchaser shall, in addition to assuming the Assumed Liabilities, pay to the Sellers in the manner described herein, the Purchase Price.

1.3              Assignment of Contracts and Rights; Third Party Consents.

(a)                Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to assign the Assumed Contracts, Assumed Real Property Leases and other Transferred Assets to Purchaser, including using reasonable best efforts to facilitate any negotiations with the counterparties to such Assumed Contracts and Assumed Real Property Leases and to obtain an order (which shall be the Approval Order) containing a finding that the proposed assignment to and assumption of the Assumed Contracts and Assumed Real Property Leases by Purchaser satisfied all applicable requirements of Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(b)               At the Closing, (i) the Sellers shall, pursuant to the Approval Order and the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Real Property Lease Assignments, as applicable, assign to Purchaser (the consideration of which is included in the Purchase Price) each of the Assumed Contracts and Assumed Real Property Leases that is capable of being assigned and assumed by Purchaser pursuant to the terms of such Assumed Contract and Assumed Real Property Leases or the Approval Order and (ii) Purchaser shall pay all known Cure Costs in connection with such assumption and assignment.

(c)                Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any of the Sellers’ rights under any Assumed Contract and Assumed Real Property Lease may not be assigned to Purchaser without the consent, approval or waiver of another Person which consent, approval or waiver has not been obtained prior to Closing (each a “Consent Asset”), except as to Assumed Contracts and Assumed Real Property Leases assigned pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, this Agreement and any assignment executed pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment of any such Consent Asset if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach of an obligation thereunder or violate applicable Law, and any such Seller (or any successor thereto under a confirmed Chapter 11 plan) shall, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing, use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s), approval(s) or waiver(s). If any such consent shall not be obtained or such assignment is not attainable pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or the Approval Order, or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Purchaser’s rights under the Consent Asset in question so that Purchaser would not in effect acquire the benefit of such rights, such Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Consent Asset (and subject to any approval of the Bankruptcy Court that may be required), shall act after the Closing as Purchaser’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Consent Asset, with Purchaser in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Purchaser. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in order to enable Sellers to provide to Purchaser the benefits contemplated by this Section 1.3(c).

1.4              Good Faith Deposit.

(a)                Within three (3) Business Days of the execution of this Agreement, (i) Purchaser and Sellers shall execute the Escrow Agreement and (ii) Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent an amount in cash equal to $1,750,000 (the “Good Faith Deposit”), in immediately available funds by wire transfer to an account designated by the Escrow Agent, to be applied as provided in Section 1.4(b). The Good Faith Deposit shall be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing bank account approved by Purchaser. All costs associated with the Escrow Agreement shall be borne by the Sellers. The Escrow Funds shall only constitute property of the Sellers’ bankruptcy estates in the event and to the extent that the Escrow Funds are required to be released to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(b)               Contemporaneously with the execution of the Escrow Agreement, Purchaser and Sellers shall execute a Joint Written Direction (as defined in the Escrow Agreement) irrevocably instructing the Escrow Agent to do the following:

 

(i)                 subject to the occurrence of the Closing, deliver the Good Faith Deposit and interest earned thereon to the Sellers at the Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price;

(ii)               if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.3(b) in accordance with Section 7.5(b)(iii) (a “Purchaser Default Termination”), within one (1) Business Day after receiving notice of such Purchaser Default Termination, pay the Good Faith Deposit and interest earned thereon to the Sellers; and

(iii)             if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason other than a Purchaser Default Termination, within one (1) Business Day after receiving notice of such other termination, return the Good Faith Deposit (including interest earned thereon) to the Purchaser.

(c)                Upon (i) the occurrence of the Closing, (ii) a Purchaser Default Termination or (iii) if this Agreement is terminated prior to Closing for any reason other than a Purchaser Default Termination, Purchaser and Sellers shall provide a joint written notice to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to take the applicable specified action in the Joint Written Direction.

1.5              Allocation of Purchase Price.

(a)                No later than sixty (60) days after Closing or within a reasonable time thereafter as agreed by Sellers and Purchaser, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Sellers a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price (plus the Assumed Liabilities and any other Liabilities deemed assumed by the Purchaser for U.S. federal income Tax purposes) among the Transferred Assets which shall be prepared in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (the “Proposed Allocation Schedule”). After receipt of the Proposed Allocation Schedule from Purchaser, the Sellers shall have fifteen (15) days to review the Proposed Allocation Schedule. The Proposed Allocation Schedule will be considered final and binding on the Parties unless Sellers communicate to Purchaser objections to the Proposed Allocation Schedule (an “Allocation Dispute Notice”). Sellers and Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days (or such longer period as Sellers and Purchaser may agree in writing) following delivery of an Allocation Dispute Notice (the “Allocation Resolution Period”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences and prepare a final allocation schedule that is acceptable to both Sellers and Purchaser. If Sellers and Purchaser are unable to completely resolve any such differences within such ten (10) day period, the unresolved issues (the “Allocation Dispute”) shall be resolved by the Accounting Firm in accordance with Section 1.5(b) (once so resolved, the “Final Allocation Schedule”), subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Purchaser and Sellers shall file all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) and information reports in a manner consistent with the Final Allocation Schedule and shall not take any position for Tax purposes (including on IRS Form 8594 or in any audit or other examination or proceeding relating to Taxes) inconsistent with this Section 1.5 unless required to do so by applicable Law.

 

(b)               If Purchaser and Sellers are unable to completely resolve any Allocation Dispute within the Allocation Resolution Period, the unresolved issues (and only such unresolved issues) (such unresolved issues collectively, the “Dispute”) shall be promptly submitted for resolution to the Accounting Firm. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve any outstanding Dispute; provided, that the Accounting Firm’s determination of any amount subject to the Dispute shall be no (i) less than the lesser of the amounts claimed by Purchaser and Sellers, respectively, or (ii) greater than the greater of the amounts claimed by Purchaser and Sellers, respectively. The Parties shall instruct the Accounting Firm to render its determination with respect to the entire Dispute within fourteen (14) days of the referral of the Dispute thereto, and the determination of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties for all purposes of this Agreement. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand, in the same proportion that the dollar amount subject to the Dispute which is not resolved in favor of the Purchaser and the Sellers, as applicable, bears to the total dollar amount subject to the Dispute resolved by the Accounting Firm.

1.6              Withholding. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as Purchaser is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or non-U.S. Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted and withheld by Purchaser, such deducted and withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to those recipients in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Purchaser.

1.7              Election.

(a)                Prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and obtain a goods and services Tax (GST)/harmonized sales Tax (HST) registration number from the Canada Revenue Agency.

(b)               If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser is registered under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and provides Sellers with evidence that it has been issued a GST/HST registration number from the Canada Revenue Agency, DinoKing and Purchaser will on or before the Closing jointly execute an election, in the prescribed form and containing the prescribed information, to have subsection 167(1.1) of the Excise Tax Act (Canada) apply to the sale and purchase of the Transferred Assets owned by DinoKing so that no Tax is payable in respect of such sale and purchase of such assets under Part IX of the Excise Tax Act (Canada).

(c)                If, on or prior to the Closing, Purchaser is not registered under the Excise Tax Act (Canada) and/or does not provide Sellers with evidence that it has been issued a GST/HST registration number from the Canada Revenue Agency, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers, and Sellers shall collect from Purchaser and remit to the appropriate taxing authority, GST/HST on the Transferred Assets of DinoKing.

The Escrow Funds shall only constitute property of the Sellers’ bankruptcy estates in the event and to the extent that the Escrow Funds are required to be released to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(c)                No later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a statement (the “Estimated Current Asset Statement”) setting forth the Sellers’ good faith estimate of the Closing Date Current Assets (the “Estimated Current Assets”). The Estimated Current Asset Statement shall be prepared using commercially reasonable accounting methods, policies, categorizations, definitions, principles, practices, techniques and procedures that are mutually acceptable to the Parties, but shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the Closing. If Purchaser has any dispute regarding such calculation of Estimated Current Assets, Sellers and Purchaser shall in good faith attempt to resolve any such dispute prior to the Closing.

2.4              Post-Closing Purchase Price Adjustments.

(a)                As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, and in any event, within sixty (60) days thereof, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Closing Date Current Asset Statement”) setting forth the calculation of the Closing Date Current Assets. The Closing Date Current Asset Statement shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting methods, policies, categorizations, definitions, principles, practices, techniques and procedures utilized in the preparation of the Estimated Current Asset Statement, but shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the Closing. Upon receipt from Purchaser, Sellers shall have thirty (30) days to review the Closing Date Current Asset Statement (the “Review Period”). At Sellers’ request, Purchaser and its employees, accountants and representatives (i) shall cooperate and assist Sellers and its representatives in reviewing the Closing Date Current Asset Statement and the materials used in its preparation and (ii) shall provide Sellers and their representatives with any information reasonably requested by them in connection therewith. If Sellers disagree with Purchaser’s computation of Closing Date Current Assets, Sellers may, on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, deliver a written notice to Purchaser (the “Notice of Objection”), which sets forth in reasonable detail (i) those items or amounts with which Sellers disagree and (ii) Sellers’ calculation of Closing Date Current Assets based on such objections. To the extent not set forth in the Notice of Objection, Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with Purchaser’s calculation of all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Date Current Asset Statement. Unless Sellers deliver the Notice of Objection to Purchaser on or prior to the last day of the Review Period, Sellers shall be deemed to have accepted Purchaser’s calculation of Closing Date Current Assets and the Closing Date Current Asset Statement shall be final, conclusive and binding.

 

(b)               If Sellers deliver the Notice of Objection to Purchaser within the Review Period, Purchaser and Sellers shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery or any mutually agreed extension thereof, use their commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the disputed items and amounts in order to determine the amount of Closing Date Current Assets. If, at the end of such period or any mutually agreed extension thereof, Purchaser and Sellers are unable to resolve their disagreements, they shall jointly retain and refer their disagreements to a single neutral arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”). The Purchaser and Sellers shall instruct the Arbitrator promptly to review this Section 2.4 and to determine solely with respect to the disputed items and amounts so submitted whether and to what extent, if any, the Closing Date Current Assets set forth in the Closing Date Current Asset Statement requires adjustment. The Arbitrator shall base its determination solely on written submissions by Purchaser and Sellers regarding the items in dispute and consistent with the terms of this Agreement and not on an independent review. Purchaser and Sellers shall make available to the Arbitrator all relevant books and records and other items reasonably requested by the Arbitrator. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after its retention, the Arbitrator shall deliver to Purchaser and Sellers a report which sets forth its resolution of the disputed items and amounts and its calculation of Closing Date Current Assets; provided that such resolution with respect to each disputed item, must be within the range of values established for such item as determined by reference to the value assigned to such item by the Sellers in the Notice of Objection and by Purchaser in the Closing Date Current Asset Statement. The decision of the Arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on Purchaser and Sellers. The costs and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be allocated between Purchaser and Sellers based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amounts not awarded to each party bears to the amounts actually contested by such party, as determined by the Arbitrator.

(c)                For purposes of this Agreement, “Final Current Assets” means the Closing Date Current Assets: (i) as shown in the Closing Date Current Asset Statement delivered by Purchaser to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4(a), if no Notice of Objection with respect thereto is timely delivered by Sellers to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.4(a); or (ii) if a Notice of Objection is so delivered, (A) as agreed by Purchaser and Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4(b) or (B) in the absence of such agreement, as shown in the Arbitrator’s calculation delivered pursuant to Section 2.4(b).

(d)               If the Final Current Assets are less than the Estimated Current Assets, then the amount of such shortfall ( the “Adjustment Shortfall Amount”) shall be deducted from the Purchase Price on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and (A) the Adjustment Shortfall Amount shall be deducted from the Escrow Funds and paid to Purchaser and, if the Escrow Funds are insufficient to satisfy the Adjustment Shortfall Amount (if any), the amount of such insufficiency shall be paid by the Sellers to Purchaser on a joint and several basis by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and (B) after making such payment to Purchaser, the remaining portion (if any) of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to the Sellers in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. If the Final Current Assets are greater than the Estimated Current Assets, then the amount of such excess (the “Adjustment Excess Amount”) shall be added to the Purchase Price on a dollar-for-dollar basis and Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the Adjustment Excess Amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Any payment due to Purchaser or Sellers pursuant to the adjustments set forth in this Section 2.4(d) shall be paid within three (3) days of the determination of Final Current Assets in accordance with this Section 2.4. Purchaser and Sellers shall designate in writing the account(s) to which such payment is to be made at least one (1) day before the payment is due. Purchaser and Sellers shall deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing it to disburse to Purchaser and the Sellers the applicable portions of the Escrow Funds payable to such Party under this Section 2.4(d) by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

Each Seller and RMST is duly authorized to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the ownership or operation of the Transferred Assets or the conduct of the Business requires such qualification, except for failures to be so authorized or be in such good standing, as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Seller Material Adverse Effect.

(b)               Premier owns beneficially and of record 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of RMST (the “RMST Shares”) free and clear of all Liens (other than Liens provided under the DIP Agreement, which shall be released on or prior to the Closing). The RMST Shares owned by Premier constitute all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of RMST and no other Person owns or has the right to acquire any RMST Shares. Upon delivery and payment for the RMST Shares at Closing, Purchaser shall acquire good and valid title to all RMST Shares free and clear of all Liens and Claims.

(c)                All the outstanding RMST Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and are nonassessable.

Except as set forth in Section 3.2(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter, there are no outstanding rights or obligations of any Person to repurchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any RMST Securities. There are no outstanding bonds, debentures, notes or other indebtedness of RMST having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matter for which holders of equity securities of RMST may vote.

3.3              Corporate Authority. The Sellers have all requisite corporate or similar power and authority and have taken all corporate or similar action necessary in order to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and, subject to the entry of the Bankruptcy Court Orders (as defined herein) and the Admiralty Court Order, to perform their obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the sale of the Business and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Sellers and, upon their execution and delivery in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, each of the Ancillary Agreements to which any Seller is a party will have been duly and validly executed and delivered by each such Seller, as applicable. Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery hereof and thereof by Purchaser, and subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Bankruptcy Court Orders and the Admiralty Court’s entry of the Admiralty Court Order, this Agreement constitutes and the Ancillary Agreements will constitute a valid and binding agreement of the Sellers enforceable against the Sellers in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles (the “Bankruptcy and Equity Exception”).

 

3.4              Governmental Filings and Approvals; No Conflicts.

(a)                The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements by the Sellers do not, and the performance by the Sellers and consummation of the sale of the Business and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not, require any consent, approval or authorization of, or filing with or notification to any Governmental Entity other than (i) the entry of the Bankruptcy Court Orders and the Bankruptcy Court Orders becoming Final Orders, (ii) the entry of the Admiralty Court Order, and no Person having appealed the Admiralty Court Order within sixty (60) days of the Admiralty Court Order Entry Date, (iii) filings required under, and in compliance with other applicable requirements of any Antitrust Laws, and (iv) the consents or notices set forth in Section 3.4(a) of the Seller Disclosure Letter.

7.5              Effect of Termination.

(a)               In the event of the termination of this Agreement by either the Sellers or Purchaser pursuant to this Article VII, this Agreement shall become null and void and there shall be no Liability to any Person on the part of any Party (or any Seller Related Party or Purchaser Related Party), except (i) this Section 7.5 and Article VIII shall survive such termination in accordance with their terms and conditions, and (ii) no such termination shall relieve Sellers or RMST from Liability for damages to Purchaser resulting from any Seller’s or RMST’s willful and material breach of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.

(i)                 by (A) Purchaser pursuant to Section 7.4(a), Section 7.4(b), Section 7.4(d), Section 7.4(e), Section 7.4(f), Section 7.4(g), Section 7.4(h), Section 7.4(i), Section 7.4(j) or Section 7.4(k), then in any such case the Expense Reimbursement shall immediately become earned and due from Sellers and RMST to Purchaser and the Expense Reimbursement together with the Good Faith Deposit and interest thereon shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Purchaser within one (1) Business Day of any such termination.

(d)               The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements contained in this Section 7.5 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the Parties would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, in the event that the Purchaser or any Seller, as the case may be, is required to commence litigation to seek all or a portion of the amounts payable to such Party under this Section 7.5, and it prevails in such litigation, it shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all amounts that it is otherwise entitled to receive under this Section 7.5, all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which it has incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder, together with interest on such amount or portion thereof at the prime rate set forth in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the payment was actually received.

 

(e)                Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Purchaser shall default under or breach any of its obligations in this Agreement, the Good Faith Deposit (together with interest earned thereon) shall constitute the Sellers’ and RMST’s full and complete liquidated damages and sole and exclusive remedy available to Sellers and RMST and their Affiliates against Purchaser and its Affiliates with respect to this Agreement and the termination hereof and the transactions contemplated hereunder.

8.6              Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto, the Disclosure Letters and the other documents delivered pursuant hereto) constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede and cancel all contemporaneous and prior agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

8.7              Severability. If any term, condition or other provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other terms, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Upon such determination that any term, condition or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.

8.8              Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of each of the other Parties, and any assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be permitted to assign any of its rights hereunder to one or more of its Affiliates (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the right to establish one or more entities which will purchase, acquire and accept the Transferred Assets, assume the Assumed Liabilities and otherwise effect the transactions contemplated hereby) or to any funds or accounts managed by any of its Affiliates, as designated by Purchaser in writing to Sellers; and provided, further, Purchaser shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement after any such assignment.

8.9              No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party hereto, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

8.10          Interpretation; Construction. The Parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. The table of contents and headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions hereof. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. General words introduced by the word “other” shall not be given a restrictive meaning by reason of the fact that they are preceded by words indicating a particular class of acts, matters or things.

8.11          Governing Law and Venue.

(a)                This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of New York), except to the extent that the Laws of such State are superseded by the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable federal Law.

(b)               To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Business or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement brought by any other Party or its successors or permitted assigns shall be brought and determined exclusively in (i) for so long as Sellers and RMST are subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, the Bankruptcy Court, and (ii) after Sellers and RMST are no longer subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court, the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State, City and County of New York. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Business or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)                To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Business or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement except in the courts described in Section 8.11(b)(i) and (ii) (as applicable), other than an action, suit or proceeding in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court as described herein. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Parties further irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.4 and agrees that service made in such manner shall have the same force and effect as if served on such Party personally in New York or pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure and further irrevocably waives any argument that such service is insufficient. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Business or the other transactions contemplated hereby, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in New York as described herein for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with Section 8.4, (ii) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) or (iii) that (x) the action, suit or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such action, suit or proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or the purchase and sale of the Business and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

 

8.12          Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE BUSINESS OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY HEREBY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 8.12.

8.13          Expenses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by the Party incurring such expense.

8.14          Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed, or were threatened to be not performed, by the Sellers or RMST in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, for which no adequate remedy at Law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by the Sellers and RMST and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the Purchaser is entitled at law or in equity. The Sellers and RMST agree that they will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the Purchaser has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity, such defense being expressly waived by the Sellers and RMST. The Purchaser, in seeking an injunction or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction, the requirement therefor being expressly waived by the Sellers and RMST.

 

8.15          No Recourse(a). Each Seller and RMST agrees, on behalf of itself and the Seller Related Parties, and Purchaser agrees, on behalf of itself and the Purchaser Related Parties, that all actions, claims, Liabilities or causes of action (whether such remedies are sought in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise) arising out of or related to this Agreement (or any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation contained herein), or the purchase and sale of the Business and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or any failure of such transactions to be consummated), in each case, may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as the Parties to this Agreement and, in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

8.16          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed (including by facsimile transmission, “.pdf,” or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered (including by facsimile transmission, “.pdf” or other electronic transmission) to the other Parties.
