Except as otherwise set forth in a disclosure schedule of even date herewith which is executed and delivered by 5J (the “5J Disclosure Schedule”), 5J and the 5J Members hereby jointly and severally make the following representations and warranties to SMGI as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date.  Nothing in the 5J Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein, unless the 5J Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail.  The 5J Disclosure Schedule will be arranged in paragraphs corresponding to the lettered and numbered paragraphs contained in this Agreement.

 

1

 

 

2.1                Organization. 5J is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Texas, is qualified to conduct business and is in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires such qualification, and has the requisite power to carry on its business as now conducted.

 

2.2                Capitalization of the Company and Subsidiaries. Immediately prior to the Closing, the outstanding membership interests of 5J shall consist solely of the 5J Interests being sold to SMGI. The 5J Interests are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. As of the Closing Date, there are no outstanding or authorized options, warrants, rights or convertible securities, or any other securities of 5J, or any agreements or commitments to which 5J or the 5J Members are a party or which are binding upon 5J or the 5J Members providing for the issuance or redemption of any of the 5J Interests.

 

2.3                Certain Corporate Matters. 5J is duly qualified to do business as a limited liability company and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the ownership of its properties, the employment of its personnel or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a material adverse effect on 5J's financial condition, results of operations or business. 5J has full corporate power and authority and all authorizations, licenses, leases and permits necessary to carry on the business in which it is engaged and to own or use the properties owned or used by it. 5J owns all of the assets in the spreadsheet lists previously provided to SMGI submitted by email on December 30, 2019 and on Schedule 2.3 attached hereto, which are owned subject to the existing loans, security interests and liens secured by UCC financing statements filed of record or disclosed to SMGI.

 

2.4                Authority Relative to this Agreement. 5J has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by 5J and the consummation by 5J of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by the 5J Members and the sole manager of 5J and no other actions on the part of 5J are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by 5J and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of 5J, enforceable against 5J in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general principles of equity.

 

2.5                Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for applicable requirements of federal securities laws, state securities laws, the United States Department of Transportation qualification and permits, and Lender consent as to the change in control relating to the Debt Assumption, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any third party, public body or authority is necessary for the consummation by 5J of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement by 5J nor the consummation by 5J of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by 5J with any of the provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provisions of the charter or Company Agreement of 5J, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which 5J is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets may be bound or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to 5J, or any of its properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) for violations, breaches or defaults which are not individually or in the aggregate material to 5J.

 

2.6                Financial Statements.

 

(a)                5J has provided SMGI with a copy of the audited balance sheets of 5J as at December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the related statements of operations, member’s equity and cash flows for the two fiscal years then ended, together with the unqualified report thereon from Bolton, Sullivan, Taylor & Weber, L.L.P. (collectively, “5J’s Audited Financials”).

(b)                5J has provided SMGI with a copy of the unaudited balance sheet of 5J as of September 30, 2019, and the related statements of operations, member’s equity and cash flows for the three months then ended (“5J’s Interim Financials”).

 

(c)                5J’s Audited Financials and 5J’s Interim Financials (collectively “5J’s Financial Statements”) (i) are in accordance with the books and records of 5J, (ii) are correct and complete in all material respects, (iii) fairly present the financial position and results of operations of 5J as of the dates indicated, and (iv) are prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) (except that (x) unaudited financial statements may not be in accordance with GAAP because of the absence of footnotes normally contained therein, and (y) the interim unaudited condensed financial statements included herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the interim periods presented.

 

(d)                5J will cooperate with SMGI to provide the Financial Statements and partial year Financial Statements of 5J that SMGI advises are required to be included in the Form 8-K due to be filed with the SEC by SMGI within seventy days of the Closing Date.

 

2.7                Tax Matters.

 

(a)                5J has filed on a timely basis all reports, returns, declarations, statements or other information required to be supplied to a taxing authority in connection with Taxes that it was required to file (collectively, “Tax Returns”), and all Tax Returns were complete and adequate in all material respects. “Taxes” means all taxes or levies or other similar assessments or liabilities in the nature of a tax, including without limitation income, gross receipts, ad valorem, premium, value-added, excise, real property, personal property, sales, use, transfer, withholding, employment, unemployment insurance, social security, business license, business organization, environmental, workers compensation, payroll, profits, license, lease, service, service use, severance, stamp, occupation, windfall profits, customs, duties, franchise and other taxes imposed by the United States of America or any state, local or foreign government, or any agency thereof, or other political subdivision of the United States or any such government, and any interest, fines, penalties, assessments or additions to tax resulting from, attributable to or incurred in connection with any tax or any contest or dispute thereof.

 

(b)               5J or the 5J Members have paid on a timely basis, or adequately reserved against in 5J’s Financial Statements, all material Taxes due, or claimed by any taxing authority to be due, from or with respect to them.

 

(c)                To the best knowledge of 5J, (i) no examination or audit of any Tax Return of 5J by any governmental entity is currently in progress or, to the knowledge of 5J, threatened or contemplated, (ii) 5J has not been informed by any jurisdiction that the jurisdiction believes that 5J was required to file any Tax Return that was not filed, and (iii) no material Tax issue has been raised, and no material adjustment has been proposed or is pending, by any governmental entity or taxing authority in connection with any of 5J’s Tax Returns.

 

(d)                No waiver or extension of any statute of limitations as to any material Tax matter has been given by or requested of 5J.

 

For the purposes of this Section 2.7, a Tax is due (and must therefore either be paid or adequately reserved against in 5J’s Financial Statements) only on the last date payment of such Tax can be made without interest or penalties, whether such payment is due in respect of estimated Taxes, withholding Taxes, required Tax credits or any other Tax.

 

2.8                Books and Records. The books and records of 5J delivered to SMGI prior to the Closing fully and fairly reflect the transactions to which 5J is a party or by which its properties are bound.

 

2.9                Questionable Payments. Neither 5J, nor any employee, agent, representative or any other person acting on behalf of 5J has, (i) directly or indirectly, made any bribes, kickbacks, illegal payments or unlawful contributions in connection with foreign or domestic political activity using 5J’s funds, (ii) or made any payments from 5J's funds to foreign or domestic governmental officials or employees, or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns (iii) failed to disclose fully any contribution made by 5J (or anyone acting on 5J’s behalf of which 5J was aware) which is in violation of the law or (d) violated in any material respect any provision of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

The right to any remedy based upon such representations and warranties shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired at any time, whether before or after execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of any such representation or warranty.

 

7.2                 Indemnification.

 

(a)                SMGI shall indemnify and hold the 5J Members harmless for, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, damages, losses, deficiencies, costs, penalties, interest and expenses (including, but not limited to, any and all expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) (collectively, “Losses”) to which the 5J Members may become subject resulting from or arising out of: (i) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by SMGI as set forth herein; or (ii) a third party demand that the 5J Members pay any obligation of 5J pursuant to a personal guarantee granted by the 5J Members prior to Closing.

 

(b)                The 5J Members shall indemnify and hold SMGI and SMGI’s officers and directors (“SMGI’s Representatives”) harmless for, from and against any and all Losses to which SMGI or SMGI’s Representatives may become subject resulting from or arising out of (1) any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant made by 5J or the 5J Members as set forth herein; or (2) any and all liabilities arising out of or in connection with: (A) any of the assets of 5J prior to the Closing; (B) the operations of 5J prior to the Closing; or (C) the 5J Interests.

 

7.3                Notice of Indemnification.  Promptly after the receipt by any indemnified party (the “Indemnitee”) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding against such Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim with respect thereto is or may be made against any indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) pursuant to this Article 7, give such Indemnifying Party written notice of the commencement of such action or proceeding and give such Indemnifying Party a copy of such claim and/or process and all legal pleadings in connection therewith. The failure to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article 7, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have, upon request within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, but not in any event after the settlement or compromise of such claim, the right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee determines that there is a reasonable probability that a claim may materially and adversely affect it, other than solely as a result of money payments required to be reimbursed in full by such Indemnifying Party under this Article 7 or if a conflict of interest exists between Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnitee shall have the right to defend, compromise or settle such claim or suit; and, provided, further, that such settlement or compromise shall not, unless consented to in writing by such Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, be conclusive as to the liability of such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee. In any event, the Indemnitee, such Indemnifying Party and its counsel shall cooperate in the defense against, or compromise of, any such asserted liability, and in cases where the Indemnifying Party shall have assumed the defense, the Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of such asserted liability at the Indemnitee’s own expense. In the event that such Indemnifying Party shall decline to participate in or assume the defense of such action, prior to paying or settling any claim against which such Indemnifying Party is, or may be, obligated under this Article 7 to indemnify an Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall first supply such Indemnifying Party with a copy of a final court judgment or decree holding the Indemnitee liable on such claim or, failing such judgment or decree, the terms and conditions of the settlement or compromise of such claim. An Indemnitee’s failure to supply such final court judgment or decree or the terms and conditions of a settlement or compromise to such Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any of its indemnification obligations contained in this Article 7, except where, and solely to the extent that, such failure actually and materially prejudices the rights of such Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party is defending the claim as set forth above, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle the claim only with the consent of the Indemnitee.
