This ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT is made this 1st day of July 2005 (the “Closing Date”), by and among Launch Project, LLC (“Seller”), Chad Nuss, as Representative of the Members (the “Representative”), the individuals listed on the signature page hereto (each, a “Member” and collectively, the “Members”), Sunset Direct, Inc., an Idaho corporation (“Buyer”) and Rainmaker Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Rainmaker”).

 

W I T N E S S E T H:

 

WHEREAS, Seller is engaged in the business of providing an end-to-end sales outsourcing service (the “Business”);

 

WHEREAS, Buyer desires to purchase and acquire from Seller, and Seller desires to sell, assign and transfer to Buyer, certain of the assets of Seller in consideration for the purchase price, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth; and

 

WHEREAS, the Members are the beneficial owners of Seller and have approved the sale of the Assets (as hereinafter defined) on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1. Sale and Transfer of Assets. On the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Seller agrees to sell, convey, assign, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to all its assets, other than the Excluded Assets (as defined below) (the assets sold, conveyed, assigned and transferred by Seller to Buyer are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Assets”) including:

 

(a) software product commonly referred to as “iSales”, which also includes the “iDatabase”, as further described on Exhibit A hereto;

 

(b) all prepaid amounts received for work to be performed by Seller on or after the Closing Date;

 

(c) all Intellectual Property rights associated with the foregoing. For purposes of this Agreement, “Intellectual Property” shall mean any of the following: (1) U.S. and non-U.S. patents, and applications for either; (2) registered and unregistered trademarks, service marks and other indicia of origin, pending trademark and service mark registration applications, and intent-to-use registrations or similar reservations of marks; (3) registered and unregistered copyrights and mask works, and applications for registration of either; (4) internet domain names, applications and reservations therefor, uniform resource locators (“URLs”) and the corresponding Internet sites (collectively, the “Sites”); (5) trade secrets and proprietary information not otherwise listed in (1) through (4) above, including unpatented inventions, invention disclosures, moral and economic rights of authors and inventors (however denominated), confidential information, technical data, customer lists, corporate and business names, trade names, trade dress, brand names, know-how, show-how, mask works, formulae,


methods (whether or not patentable), designs, processes, procedures, technology, source codes, object codes, computer software programs, databases, data collections and other proprietary information or material of any type, and all derivatives, improvements and refinements thereof, howsoever recorded, or unrecorded; and (6) any good will associated with any of the foregoing.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, it is understood that Seller is not selling and Buyer is not buying (i) any real property or leasehold interests or leasehold improvements in real property of Seller; (ii) the minute books, stock record books, stock ledgers and tax records of Seller; (iii) any contracts or assets not listed in Exhibit A; or (iv) any interest in and to 6 Consulting, Ltd., a private limited company organized under the laws of the United Kingdom (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”).

 

2. Purchase Price, Escrow.

 

(a) In full consideration for the purchase by Buyer of the Assets, Buyer shall: (i) cause to be issued to Seller seven hundred thousand (700,000) unregistered shares of Rainmaker common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Buyer Shares”); and (ii) pay forty thousand dollars ($40,000) (the “Contingent Cash Consideration”) in accordance with Section 2(c).

 

(b) At the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver twenty percent (20%) of the Buyer Shares (the “Escrow Fund”) to The Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), which shall be held in escrow (the “Escrow”) subject to the escrow agreement attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”) for the purposes of securing the Seller’s and the Members’ indemnity obligations under this Agreement. Buyer Shares deposited into the Escrow Fund shall be deducted from the number of shares of Buyer Shares otherwise deliverable to Seller. In accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, twelve months following the Closing Date (or, if such date is not on a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter), the Escrow Agent will deliver all Buyer Shares remaining in the Escrow Fund to the Seller. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent may withhold from such delivery the equivalent of any amounts then in dispute relating to indemnification obligations arising under this Agreement, provided that the withheld amount, to the extent not applied in satisfaction of indemnification obligations, shall be delivered to the Seller as described above promptly upon resolution of such dispute; and provided further, the Escrow Agent shall withhold from such delivery the equivalent of any liabilities set forth in Section 4(a) that remain outstanding until such time as all such liabilities are fully discharged. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means shall mean any day, other than a Saturday, Sunday or a day on which banks located in San Francisco, California, shall be authorized or required by law to close.

 

(c) The Contingent Cash Consideration shall be utilized to the full extent necessary to satisfy amounts owed by Seller in connection with liabilities asserted in that certain letter dated March 30, 2005 and the included Proposed Notice of Assessment from the Employment Development Department of the State of California (the “EDD Liability”). Seller hereby covenants in favor of Buyer and Rainmaker that Seller shall diligently and in good faith attempt to resolve the EDD Liability as soon as possible on terms advantageous to the Seller. The Contingent Cash Consideration shall not be due and payable by Buyer until Seller resolves such EDD Liability. Upon resolution of the EDD Liability, Seller shall deliver written notice


thereof to Buyer including a copy of the official notice of assessment of the EDD Liability, which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer (the “EDD Official Assessment”). Upon Buyer’s receipt of the EDD Official Assessment in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, Buyer will, within five Business Days of such receipt, pay the Contingent Cash Consideration (as it may be reduced pursuant to the following sentence) to Seller by check or by wire transfer to such account as may be specified by Seller. Without limiting the indemnification obligations of Seller and each Member under Section 15 hereof, in the event that, contrary to the intent of this Agreement, Buyer or Rainmaker is for any reason required to expend any funds or incur any liability in connection with the EDD Liability, the amount of such expended funds and liabilities shall be deducted from the Contingent Cash Consideration delivered to Seller.

 

3. Lock-Up; Securities Laws Restrictions; Legend.

 

(a) The Seller and each Member agree that the Buyer Shares delivered to Seller at Closing (the “Delivered Shares”) shall only be sold, transferred, pledged, disposed of or encumbered in accordance with the following:

(c) Upon issuance at Closing, each certificate representing Buyer Shares shall bear a legend stating:

 

“THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED UNLESS (I) A REGISTRATION STATEMENT COVERING SUCH SALE AND TRANSFER IS EFFECTIVE UNDER THE ACT OR (II) THE TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT, AND IF THE ISSUER REQUESTS, AN OPINION SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER TO SUCH EFFECT HAS BEEN RENDERED BY COUNSEL.

No Employee Benefit Plan is sponsored or maintained by Seller. Neither Seller nor any of its affiliates (nor any employer (whether or not incorporated) that would be treated together with Seller, or any such affiliate as a single employer within the meaning of Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)), has ever maintained or contributed to, or had any obligation to contribute to (or borne any liability with respect to) any “employee pension benefit plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA, that is a “multiemployer plan,” within the meaning of Section 3(37) of ERISA, or subject to Section 412 of the Code, or Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA. Each Employee Benefit Plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, has, as currently in effect, been determined to be so qualified by the Internal Revenue Service, and since the date of each such determination, no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance has existed that resulted or is likely to result in the revocation of any such determination. Seller has not incurred, and no event has occurred and no condition or circumstance exists that could result, directly or indirectly, in, any unsatisfied liability (including, without limitation, any indirect, contingent or secondary liability) of Seller under Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA arising in connection with any employee pension benefit plan covered or previously covered by Title IV of ERISA or such sections of the Code or ERISA. No asset or property of Seller is or may be subject to any lien arising under Section 412(n) of the Code or Section 302(f) of ERISA. Seller has not been, and does not expect to be, required to provide any security under Section 307 of ERISA or Section 401(a)(29) or 412(f) of the Code. Seller has complied in all respects with the applicable requirements of Part 6 of Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code (“COBRA”), and will comply with all COBRA obligations arising in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and Seller nor any is not subject to any liability as a result of any failure to administer or operate any “group health plan” (as defined in COBRA) in compliance with COBRA. Full payment has been made of all amounts which Seller is required under applicable law or under any Employee Benefit Plan or any agreement relating to any Employee Benefit Plan to have paid as contributions or premiums thereunder as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Employee Benefit Plan ended prior to the date hereof. No litigation or administrative or other proceeding, audit, examination


or investigation is pending or asserted, or, to the best knowledge of Seller, threatened, anticipated or expected to be asserted with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or the assets of any such plan (other than routine claims for benefits arising in the ordinary course). The execution of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, do not constitute a triggering event under any Employee Benefit Plan, policy, arrangement, statement, commitment or agreement, whether or not legally enforceable, which (either alone or upon the occurrence of any additional or subsequent event) will or may result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), “parachute payment” (as such term is defined in Section 280G of the Code), acceleration, vesting or increase in benefits to any present or former employee or director of Seller.

 

(p) Investment. Seller and each Member (a) understands that the Buyer Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or under any state securities laws, and are being offered and sold in reliance upon federal and state exemptions for transactions not involving any public offering, (b) is acquiring the Buyer Shares solely for their own account for investment purposes, and not with a view to the distribution thereof, (c) is a sophisticated investor with knowledge and experience in business and financial matters, (d) has received certain information concerning Buyer and has had the opportunity to obtain additional information as desired in order to evaluate the merits and the risks inherent in acquiring and holding the Buyer Shares, (e) is able to bear the economic risk and lack of liquidity inherent in holding the Buyer Shares, (f) was at no time presented with or solicited by or through any leaflet, public promotional meeting, television advertisement or any other form of general solicitation or advertising relating to Buyer or any investment in the Buyer Shares and (g) is an Accredited Investor for purposes of the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment.

 

(q) Intellectual Property. Schedule 5(q) sets forth each and every item of Intellectual Property owned by the Seller, except that (i) copyrights which are not the subject of a registration or application therefor, and (ii) items included in subsection (5) of the definition of Intellectual Property contained in Section 1(c) herein, shall be listed only if they are material to the business of the Seller.

 

(i) Schedule 5(q) sets forth each and every item of Intellectual Property licensed by the Seller as licensor together with the (i) owner, (ii) the licensee, (iii) the jurisdiction(s) where licensed for use, (iv) the royalty or other fees payable by the licensee, and (v) the license agreement, listed by date of earliest expiry, with respect to each such item.

 

(ii) Schedule 5(q) sets forth each and every license or other agreement by which the Seller has obtained rights under any Intellectual Property (other than licenses arising from the purchase of standard “off the shelf” products), together with the (i) identity of the licensor, (ii) the type of rights licensed, (iii) the Intellectual Property licensed, (iv) the royalty or other fees payable by the Seller and (v) the license agreement listed by date of earliest expiry.

Seller and the Members shall give prompt notice to Buyer of any of the following which occurs, or of which any of them becomes aware, following the date hereof: (i) any notice of, or other communication relating to, a default or event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default under any material contract; (ii) the occurrence or existence of any fact, circumstance or event which would result in (A) any representation or warranty made by Seller or a Member in this Agreement or in any Schedule, Exhibit or certificate or delivered herewith, to be untrue or inaccurate or (B) the failure of any condition precedent to either party’s obligations; and (iii) any notice or other communication from any third party alleging that the consent of such third party is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller and the Members shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain any consents, execute any documents and take such other actions as may reasonably be necessary to fulfill the objectives of this Agreement.

 

(c) Registration.

 

(i) As soon as commercially practicable, but no later than the date that is 40 days following the Closing Date, and subject in either event to each Member providing all required information in connection with the below described registration a reasonable amount of time prior to such date, Rainmaker at its expense shall prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to the shares of Buyer Shares hereunder (the “Registration Statement”) and (b) use commercially

If (i) in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Rainmaker, the filing of a Registration Statement covering such shares of Buyer Shares would be detrimental to Rainmaker and the Board of Directors of Rainmaker concludes, as a result, that it is in the best interests of Rainmaker to defer the filing of such Registration Statement at such time, and (ii) Rainmaker shall furnish to the Members a certificate signed by an executive officer of Rainmaker stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of Rainmaker, it would be detrimental to Rainmaker for such Registration Statement to be filed in the near future and that it is, therefore, in the best interests of Rainmaker to defer the filing of such Registration Statement, then Rainmaker shall have the right to defer such filing, provided that Rainmaker shall not defer its obligation in this manner for more than 60 days. Rainmaker shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the registration and qualification of the shares registered pursuant to this Section 8(c), and the Members shall pay all fees and expenses of counsel to the Members. Each Member shall cooperate with Rainmaker in the preparation, filing and process of securing the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and shall furnish to Rainmaker such information relating to such Member and such further and supplemental information as may be necessary or as may be reasonably requested by Rainmaker for use in the Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements thereto.

(ii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Rainmaker will indemnify each Member with respect to any registration effected pursuant to this Section 8(c) against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) made in such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by Rainmaker of the Securities Act or the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to Rainmaker and relating to action or inaction required of Rainmaker in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, and will reimburse each of the Members for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, provided that Rainmaker will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) based upon written information furnished to Rainmaker by any Member and stated to be specifically for use therein.


(iii) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Members, severally on a pro rata basis based upon the number of Buyer Shares set forth opposite the name each Member on Exhibit G hereto, will indemnify Rainmaker, each of its directors and officers, agents, representatives and Affiliates and each person who controls Rainmaker within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, or any prospectus, offering circular or other document made by any Member, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements by any Member therein not misleading, and will reimburse Rainmaker for any legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in the Registration Statement, or such prospectus, offering circular or other document in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to Rainmaker by any Member and stated to be specifically for use therein; provided, however, that the obligations of each of the Members under this Section 8(c) shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Members of securities sold as contemplated herein.

 

(iv) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 8(c) (the “Section 8(c) Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that counsel for the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense (unless the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party and the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party in such action, in which case the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party), and provided further that the failure of any Section 8(c) Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. No Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation shall, except with the consent of each Section 8(c) Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Section 8(c) Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as a Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

(v) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8(c) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to a Section 8(c) Indemnified Party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense referred to herein, then the Section 8(c)


Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable to such Section 8(c) Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party on the one hand and of the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party and of the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue (or alleged untrue) statement of a material fact or the omission (or alleged omission) to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Section 8(c) Indemnifying Party or by the Section 8(c) Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that the obligations of each of the Members hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds to such Members of securities sold as contemplated herein.

 

(vi) For not more than 20 consecutive days or for a total of not more than 45 days in any 12 month period, Rainmaker may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning Rainmaker, by suspending the use of any prospectus, offering circular or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) prepared in connection with any registration to be effected pursuant to this Section 8(c) containing such information, the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of Rainmaker, in the best interests of Rainmaker (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, that Rainmaker shall promptly (a) notify the Members in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of a Members, shall Rainmaker disclose to such Members any of the facts or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Members in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay and (c) use commercially reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable.

 

(vii) During the period when copies of the Registration Statement prospectus are required to be delivered under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, Rainmaker shall file all documents required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13, 14, or 15 of the Exchange Act within the time periods required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(3) notify the Indemnifying Party that if the Indemnifying Party in good faith objects to the Loss Certificate or any portion of the Loss Certificate, the Indemnifying Party must so notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days or the claim described in the Loss Certificate shall be deemed to be an Agreed Claim that the Indemnifying Party shall be required to pay under this Agreement.

 

The Indemnified Party shall deliver a copy of the Loss Certificate to the Escrow Agent while the Escrow Fund remains in effect and available to satisfy claims for Losses pursuant to the indemnification provided for in Section 15.

 

(b) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Loss Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Loss Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party a notice to such effect and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the thirty (30) day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party


shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts, then the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall submit such dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction. The party which receives a final judgment in such dispute shall be indemnified and held harmless for all reasonable attorney and consultant’s fees or expenses by the other party.

 

(c) Claims for Losses specified in any Loss Certificate to which an Indemnifying Party shall not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Loss Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 16(b), claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of judicial determination as described in Section 16(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which shall have been the subject of a final judicial determination, or shall have been settled with the consent of the Indemnifying Party, as described in Section 17, are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” Within ten (10) days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claims, the Agreed Claim shall be paid from the Escrow Fund pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. In the event there are not sufficient Buyer Shares in the Escrow Fund to pay the Agreed Claim in full, the Indemnifying Party shall within ten (10) calendar days pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the amount of the Agreed Claim not paid via Buyer Shares from the Escrow Fund, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than two (2) business days prior to such payment.

 

(d) All claims made against and paid out of the Escrow Fund to Buyer Indemnitees shall be made and paid in accordance herewith and with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

 

17. Third Party Claims. If a claim by a third party is made against any Indemnified Party, and if such Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnity with respect thereto under Section 15, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such claims; provided, that the failure to so notify shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice to assume the conduct and control, through counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, of the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by such Indemnified Party, provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by such Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall promptly be entitled to assume the defense of such action only to the extent the Indemnifying Party acknowledges its indemnity obligation and assumes and holds such Indemnified Party harmless from and against the full amount of any Loss resulting therefrom; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense and shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party if (i) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action,


indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) the claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) the Indemnified Party has been advised in writing by counsel that a reasonable likelihood exists of a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party; or (iv) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, the appropriate court rules that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend such claim. Any Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or claim and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party unless (x) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, within a reasonable time after having been notified by the Indemnified Party of the existence of such claim as provided in the preceding sentence, to assume the defense of such claim, (y) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party, or (z) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnifying Party, or available to the Indemnifying Party the assertion of which would be adverse to the interests of the Indemnified Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is reasonably contesting any such claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to pay or settle any such claim, provided that in such event it shall waive any right to indemnity therefor by the Indemnifying Party for such claim unless the Indemnifying Party shall have consented to such payment or settlement. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement that is not entirely indemnifiable by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement and does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the person or persons asserting such claim to all Indemnified Parties of an unconditional release from all liability with respect to such claim or consent to entry of any judgment. The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any claim, including making available records relating to such claim and furnishing, without expense to the Indemnifying Party and/or its counsel, such employees of the Indemnified Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of any such claim or for testimony as witnesses in any proceeding relating to such claim.

Any notices or communications required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficiently given if in writing and personally delivered, telecopied or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed as follows or to such other address as any party shall have specified in conformity with the foregoing:

No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or obligations hereunder may be made by any party (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be void, except that Buyer may without such consent assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to one or more affiliates of Buyer.

If at any time subsequent to the date hereof, any provision of this Agreement shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force and effect, but the illegality or unenforceability of such provision shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.

The Representative shall furnish on behalf of the Members such certificates and other documents as may from time to time be requested by the Escrow Agent. The Representative may be changed by the Members from time to time upon not less than fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice to Buyer and the Escrow Agent, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to Buyer and the Escrow Agent in their reasonable discretion; provided that the Representative may not be


changed or removed unless Members entitled to an aggregate of two-thirds interest of the Escrow Fund agree to such removal and to the identity of a substituted Representative. Any vacancy in the position of Representative may be filled by approval of the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Representative, and the Representative shall not receive compensation for its services. Notices or communications to or from the Representative shall constitute notice to or from each of the Members, and the Representative is hereby authorized by the Members to give and receive notices and other communications under this Agreement on behalf of each Member (including for purposes of Sections 16 and 17).

 

(b) The Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as Representative while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment.

(4) shall not be required to make any representation as to the validity, value or genuineness of any document or instrument held by the Representative or delivered by the Representative;

 

(5) shall not be obligated to risk its own funds in the course of performing as Representative; and

 

(6) shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement to which the Representative is a party and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or shall otherwise exist against the Representative.


27. Actions of the Representative. A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative under or in connection with this Agreement shall constitute a decision of all the Members and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each of such Members, and the Escrow Agent and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each and every such Member. The Escrow Agent and Buyer are hereby relieved from any liability to any person for any acts done by them in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative.
