REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER

3.01 Existence and Good Standing. Seller is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority required to carry on its business as now conducted and to own and operate the Business as now owned and operated by it. Seller is qualified to conduct business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it conducts the Business other than such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified, whether singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.04 Non-Contravention. Except for matters that would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Acquisition Documents by Seller and the execution, delivery and performance by any Seller Subsidiary of the other Acquisition Documents to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (a) contravene or conflict with the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of Seller or any of such Subsidiaries, (b) assuming receipt of the Seller Approvals, contravene or conflict with or constitute a material violation of any provision of any Applicable Law binding upon or applicable to Seller, such Subsidiaries or the Transferred Assets or (c) assuming receipt of the Seller Contractual Consents, (i) constitute a material default under, give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, modification, or acceleration of, or a loss of any material benefit under any material Assumed Contract, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) on the Transferred Assets, or (iii) constitute a breach, default or violation of any commitment, judgment, injunction or decree.

 

17


3.05 Personal Property. Seller or its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of the tangible personal property that is a Transferred Asset.

3.06 Litigation. There are no legal actions, lawsuits, charges or arbitrations (collectively, “Legal Actions”) pending or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened against Seller or its Subsidiaries (a) relating to any of the Transferred Assets that would, if determined adversely, have a Material Adverse Effect or (b) that seek to prevent, enjoin, alter or delay the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Acquisition Documents. There are no existing orders, judgments or decrees of any Governmental Authority against Seller or its Subsidiaries relating to the Transferred Assets except for such orders, judgments or decrees that, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.07 Contracts. Each material Assumed Contract is a valid and binding obligation of Seller or its Subsidiaries and, to the Knowledge of Seller, each other Person who is a party thereto, in accordance with its terms, subject to any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors’ rights generally or to general principles of equity, and except for breaches or defaults that in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse Effect, neither Seller or its Subsidiaries nor, to the Knowledge of Seller, any other party thereto is in material breach, violation or default thereunder. Seller has made available to Buyer, or its counsel, true and correct copies of all Assumed Contracts, together with all amendments thereto.

3.10 Tax Matters. Since January 1, 2005 Seller and its Subsidiaries have filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns required to have been filed by them with respect to the Transferred Assets and have paid on a timely basis all Taxes shown thereon as due except where the failure to file or pay would not, singly or in the aggregate, cause the Buyer to incur any material Liability. Additionally, with respect to those Taxes described in the preceding sentence of this Section 3.10, neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice from any Governmental Authority that it is or may be subject to additional Tax with respect to the Business or the Transferred Assets. There are no Liens for Taxes (other than for current Taxes not yet due and payable or for Taxes due and payable but contested in good faith by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries) upon any of the Transferred Assets. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.10 are the only representations and warranties being made with respect to compliance with or liability under Applicable Laws relating to the Tax matters contemplated by this Section 3.10.

To the Knowledge of Seller, Seller has not received written notice of any violation of or non-compliance with such agreements.

(d) Seller, to its Knowledge, is not party to any proceeding, agreement or stipulation and is not, to its Knowledge, subject to any outstanding decree, order, judgment that restricts in any material manner the use, transfer or licensing of the Transferred Patents or the Products or the New Products.

(e) All Transferred Patents are currently in compliance with formal legal requirements (including payment of filing, examination and maintenance fees and proofs of use) and are not subject to any unpaid maintenance fees or taxes or actions falling due within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date. There are no proceedings or actions to which Seller has received formal notice pending before any court, tribunal (including the PTO or equivalent authority anywhere in the world) that involve the validity, scope or priority of any Transferred Patents that have issued as enforceable rights by the respective government examining authority as of the Closing Date.

 

19


(f) Seller has not transferred ownership of the Transferred Patents to any other Person.

(g) No government funding, facilities of a university, college, other educational institution or research center or funding from third parties was used in the development of the Transferred Intellectual Property, as a result of which any such educational institution, research center or third party would have any material claim of ownership of the Transferred Intellectual Property.

(h) The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.11 are the only representations and warranties being made with respect to compliance with or liability under Applicable Laws relating to the Intellectual Property matters contemplated by this Section 3.11.

3.12 Employee Matters.

(a) Employee Plans and Employee Agreements. Seller has made available to Buyer the Employee Plans and Employee Agreements in effect on the date hereof which are set forth in Schedule 3.12(a) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Multiemployer Plans. At no time has Seller or any other Person or entity under common control with Seller within the meaning of Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations issued thereunder, contributed to or been obligated to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or any plan maintained pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement, in either case with respect to Business Employees or former Business Employees.

(c) Labor. No work stoppage or labor strike against Seller or its Subsidiaries is pending or reasonably anticipated, or, to the Seller’s Knowledge, threatened with respect to the Business Employees. Seller has no Knowledge of any activities or proceedings of any labor union to organize any Business Employees. There are no actions, suits, claims, labor disputes or grievances pending, or, to the Knowledge of Seller, threatened or reasonably anticipated relating to any labor, safety or discrimination matters involving any Business Employee, including charges of unfair labor practices or discrimination complaints, which, if adversely determined, would, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither Seller nor any of its Subsidiaries is presently, nor has it been in the past, a party to, or bound by, any collective bargaining agreement or union contract with respect to Business Employees and no collective bargaining agreement is being negotiated by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to the Business Employees.

(d) Employee List. Schedule 3.12(d) of the Disclosure Schedule sets forth the name and job title of each Business Employee and the country (and state, for those in the United States) in which each such Business Employee is based and primarily performs his or her duties. Schedule 3.12(d) of the Disclosure Schedule shall be updated solely to reflect the change in employment status of any Business Employee and such other changes as may reasonably be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer.

 

20


(e) Nature of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties contained in this Section 3.12 are the only representations and warranties being made with respect to compliance with or liability under Applicable Laws relating to the employment matters contemplated by this Section 3.12.

3.13 Financial Information.

(a) Attached hereto as Schedule 3.13 of the Disclosure Schedule are copies of the unaudited pro forma Statements of Assets to be Acquired and Liabilities to be Assumed and Statements of Net Revenues and Direct Expenses as of June 30, 2007 (Unaudited), December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, for Each of the Three Years ended in the Period Ended December 30, 2006 and for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and July 1, 2006 for the Business (collectively, the “Financial Statements”). The Financial Statements have been prepared internally by Seller and have not been audited by any independent certified public accountants or auditors.

(b) The Financial Statements have been derived from the books and records of Seller and the items included therein have been accounted for in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (except for the omission of notes thereto and normal year-end audit adjustments) consistent with the methods used for the purpose of preparing the accounting for such items in connection with Seller’s financial statements for prior periods and present fairly the financial condition and results of operations of the Business as of the date indicated or for the period indicated; provided, however, that the Financial Statements do not reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses that would have resulted if the Business had operated as an unaffiliated independent company; provided further, that the Financial Statements include estimations for allocation of various costs and expenses on a commercially reasonable basis.

(c) There are no Liabilities of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries exclusively relating to the Business other than such Liabilities (i) reflected or reserved against in the Financial Statements, (ii) incurred since June 30, 2007 in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, (iii) for Taxes imposed on income, or (iv) that would not, singly or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

21

(b) any waiver or amendment of any material Assumed Contract or any relinquishment of any material rights thereunder by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of Seller any other party thereto, other than, in each such case, actions taken in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice that are not material with respect to any such material Assumed Contract;

(c) any material change by Seller or any of its Subsidiaries in its accounting principles, methods or practices or in the manner it keeps its accounting books and records relating to the Business, except any such change required by a change in GAAP;

(d) any material damage, destruction or other casualty loss with respect to any material Transferred Asset;

(e) any increase in the salaries, bonuses or other benefits payable to any Business Employees, other than (i) as required by Applicable Law, (ii) pursuant to any plans, programs or agreements existing on or since June 30, 2007, or (iii) other ordinary increases not inconsistent with the past practices of Seller or its Subsidiaries;

22

INDEMNIFICATION

Upon the expiration of a representation or warranty pursuant to this Section 7.01, unless written notice of a

 

37


claim based on such representation or warranty specifying in reasonable detail the facts on which the claim is based shall have been delivered to the Indemnitor (as defined below) prior to the expiration of such representation or warranty, such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be of no further force or effect, as if never made, and no action may be brought based on the same, whether for indemnification, breach of contract, tort or under any other legal theory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement or otherwise shall in any way limit any claim, suit, cause of action or remedy that may be available to any Party for breaches that constitute fraud of the other Party. All covenants and agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive indefinitely to the extent necessary to give effect to their terms.

7.02 Indemnification.

(a) Indemnification Provisions for Buyer. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer and its Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, representatives and agents (collectively the “Buyer Indemnitees”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Seller from and against and in respect of any and all Losses (as defined below) incurred by any Buyer Indemnitee resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(ii) any misrepresentation contained in any certificate furnished to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller pursuant to this Agreement; and

(iii) any Excluded Liability.

(b) Indemnification Provisions for Seller. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, from and after the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates, officers, directors, stockholders, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) shall be indemnified and held harmless by Buyer from and against and in respect of any and all Losses (as defined below) incurred by any Seller Indemnitee, resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of Buyer’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement;

(ii) any misrepresentation contained in any certificate furnished to Seller by or on behalf of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement; and

(iii) any Assumed Liability.

For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Indemnitee” shall mean either Buyer Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, as the case may be, and the term “Indemnitor” shall mean either Buyer Indemnitor or a Seller Indemnitor, as the case may be.

(c) No Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any Losses covered by Section 7.02(a)(i) and (ii) until the aggregate amount of all such Losses of the Buyer Indemnitees shall exceed $317,500 (the “Basket”), at which time all such Losses incurred in excess of the Basket shall be subject to indemnification by the relevant Indemnitor hereunder.

 

38


(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller to Buyer Indemnitees for any Losses covered by Section 7.02(a)(i) and (ii) shall be limited to $3,175,000 (the “Cap”). The Cap shall not apply to Losses covered by Section 7.02(a)(iii) or Losses that result from fraud; provided, however, that Seller’s maximum aggregate liability for all indemnification claims hereunder shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Losses” means any and all judgments, settlements, claims, liabilities, losses, damages (excluding indirect, incidental or consequential damages), interest, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal, accounting and other costs and expenses). Notwithstanding the above, Losses shall not include expenses incurred in connection with investigations unless a claim is made by a third party against the Indemnitee.

(f) The amount of any Losses otherwise recoverable under this Section 7.02 shall be reduced by (i) any amounts that the Indemnitees are entitled to receive under insurance policies, the Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing that prior to asserting any indemnification claim, the Indemnitee must first seek reimbursement for any and all Losses from any applicable insurance coverage (and that any compensation provided under this Agreement is not to be deemed insurance for any purpose); and (ii) any Tax benefits, savings or reductions realized or to be realized by the Indemnitee.

7.03 Manner of Indemnification.

(a) Each indemnification claim shall be made only in accordance with this Article VII.

(b) If an Indemnitee wishes to make a claim for Losses under Article VII of this Agreement, Indemnitee shall deliver a written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to the applicable Indemnitor promptly after becoming aware of the facts giving rise to such claim. The Notice of Claim shall state in reasonable detail (i) to the extent reasonably practicable, the estimated Losses incurred or suffered (which amount may be the amount of Losses claimed by a third party and shall not limit the Losses to be indemnified), and (ii) the facts, circumstances or events giving rise to the alleged Losses based on the Indemnified Party’s good faith belief thereof, including the identity and address of any third-party claimant, if any, (to the extent reasonably available to the Indemnified Party) and copies of any formal demand or complaint, if any. No delay or failure on the part of the Indemnitee to so notify the Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor of any liability or obligation hereunder except to the extent Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure.

7.04 Procedures for Indemnification – Third-Party Actions.

(a) If an Indemnitee becomes aware of a claim of a third party (including for all purposes of this Section 7.04, any Governmental Authority) (a “Third Party Action”) that will result in a claim by it against Indemnitor, Indemnitee shall notify Indemnitor of such claim as

 

39


promptly as practicable by delivery of a Notice of Claim in the form required by Section 7.03(b). Indemnitor shall have the right to assume and conduct the defense of such claim by providing written notice thereof to the Indemnitee within 20 Business Days following receipt of the Notice of Claim; provided, however, that Indemnitor may not assume control of the defense of any Third Party Action involving criminal liability of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of a Third Party Action, it shall conduct such defense in a commercially reasonable manner and no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Action may be effected by the Indemnitor without the Indemnitee’s consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless: (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Applicable Law or the rights of any other Person by any Indemnitee; (b) the sole relief is monetary damages that Indemnitor shall have paid or caused to be paid in full; and (c) the Indemnitee is unconditionally released from any liability arising from such Third Party Action. If Indemnitor elects to control the defense of a Third Party Action in accordance with the provisions hereof, Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of such Third Party Action, with its own counsel and at its own expense. Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with Indemnitor in the defense of such Third Party Action. If Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such Third Party Action in accordance with the provisions hereof, Indemnitee may defend such Third Party Action in a commercially reasonable manner and may settle such Third Party Action; provided, however, that no compromise or settlement of such Third Party Action may be effected by the Indemnitee without the Indemnitor’s consent (which may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless: (a) there is no finding or admission of any violation of any Applicable Law or the rights of any other Person by any Indemnitor; (b) the sole relief is monetary damages that Indemnitee shall have paid or caused to be paid in full; and (c) the Indemnitor is unconditionally released from any liability arising from such Third Party Action.

(b) The Party controlling the defense of such Third Party Action (the “Controlling Party”) shall keep the non-Controlling Party reasonably advised of the status of such Third Party Action and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the non-Controlling Party with respect thereto. The non-Controlling Party shall furnish the Controlling Party with such information as it may have with respect to such Third Party Action (including copies of any summons, complaint or other pleading which may have been served on such Party and any written claim, demand, invoice, billing or other document evidencing or asserting the same) and shall otherwise cooperate with and assist the Controlling Party in the defense of such Third Party Action.

(c) The fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee with respect to a Third Party Action shall be considered Losses for purposes of this Agreement if (i) the Indemnitee controls the defense of such Third Party Action pursuant to the terms of this Section 7.04 or prior to the assumption of the defense by the Indemnitor or (ii) the Indemnitor assumes control of such defense and in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnitee, the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee have conflicting interests or different defenses available with respect to such Third Party Action; provided that this shall apply only to one law firm to the Indemnitee.

 

40


7.05 Procedure for Indemnification – Other Claims. Following receipt by an Indemnitor of a Notice of Claim that does not relate to a Third Party Action, the Parties’ legal and business representatives shall promptly meet to agree on the rights of the respective Parties with respect to each of such claims. If the Parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both Parties and amounts agreed upon shall be promptly paid. Any dispute between the Parties which is not resolved within 30 Business Days following receipt of the Notice of Claim shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.10 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

7.06 Exclusive Remedy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Article VII shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for monetary damages of the Indemnitees from and after the Closing Date for any Losses arising under this Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including claims of breach of any representation, warranty or covenant in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing clause of this sentence shall not be deemed a waiver by any Party of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief to the extent it is available to such Party.

7.07 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement or any other Acquisition Document, no Party (or its Affiliates) shall, in any event, be liable to the other Party (or its Affiliates) for any consequential, punitive, special or indirect damages, including loss of revenue or income, cost of capital, or loss of business reputation or opportunity relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement; provided that Losses arising from Third Party Actions that include any of the foregoing types of damages shall not be limited by this Section 7.07.

ARTICLE VIII

(a) by mutual written agreement of the Parties;

(b) by either Buyer or Seller upon written notice given to the other Party if the Closing shall not have taken place on or before September 28, 2007 (or such later date as the Parties have agreed to in writing) (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.01(b) shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its obligations contained in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or prior to the Termination Date; provided, further, that the Termination Date shall be extended to October 31, 2007 in the event that all of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.01 and 6.02 are satisfied other than as set forth on Schedule 8.01(b);

(c) by Buyer, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller set forth in this Agreement, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 6.01(a) hereof, (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following the receipt by Seller of notice of such breach from Buyer and (iii) has not been waived by Buyer;

 

41


(d) by Seller, upon a breach of any covenant or agreement on the part of Buyer set forth in this Agreement or upon a breach of the representations and warranties of Buyer set forth in Section 4.09, which breach (i) would give rise to the failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.02(a) and/or 6.02(d) hereof, (ii) cannot be or has not been cured within thirty (30) days following the receipt by Buyer of notice of such breach from Seller and (iii) has not been waived by Seller;

(e) by either Party, if any Applicable Law shall be enacted or become applicable that makes the transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement illegal or otherwise prohibited, or if any judgment, injunction, order or decree enjoining either Party hereto from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby is entered, and such judgment, injunction, order or decree shall become final and nonappealable.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clauses (b) through (e) shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party.

8.02 Effect of Termination.

(a) Other than as set forth in Section 8.02(b) below, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 8.01, all obligations of the Parties hereunder (except for this Section 8.02 and Sections 2.06(b) (Delayed Closing Payments), 5.02 (Confidentiality), 5.07 (Public Announcements), 9.01 (Notices), 9.02 (Amendments; Waivers) 9.03 (Expenses), 9.04 (Successors and Assigns), 9.05 (Governing Law), 9.07 (Entire Agreement), 9.08 (Captions), 9.09 (Severability), 9.10 (Dispute Resolution), 9.11 (Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial), 9.12 (Meaning of Include and Including), 9.14 (Third Party Beneficiaries), 9.15 (Specific Performance) and 9.16 (No Presumption Against Drafting Party)), shall terminate without liability of any Party to the other Party, except as provided in the following sentence. Nothing contained in this Section 8.02 shall relieve either Party of liability for any breach of any covenant contained in this Agreement that occurred prior to the date of termination of this Agreement. The representations and warranties made herein shall not survive beyond a termination of this Agreement and no party shall have any liability for breach of any representation or warranty upon a termination of this Agreement prior to the Closing.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.02(a), if this Agreement is terminated by Seller pursuant to Section 8.01(d) as a result of Buyer’s breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.09 (Financing) and/or the failure of Buyer to satisfy the closing condition set forth in Section 6.02(d) (Financing), then upon such termination, Buyer shall be obligated to pay to Seller (by wire transfer of immediately available funds), no later than five Business Days after such termination, a fee of $952,500 (the “Termination Fee”). Buyer acknowledges that the agreement in

 

42


this Section 8.02(b) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that, without these agreements, Seller would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if Buyer fails to promptly pay any amount due to Seller pursuant to this Section 8.02(b), Buyer shall also pay any costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with any legal action to enforce this Agreement that results in a judgment against Buyer for the Termination Fee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 8.02(b) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Seller relating to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.02(b) and the Termination Fee shall serve as full and final liquidated damages.
