The Closing Date Balance Sheet for purposes of the calculation of Working Capital set forth in the Closing Date Statement shall be determined in a manner consistent with the principles used in the preparation of the Reference Balance Sheet. The review of the calculation of Working Capital set forth in the Closing Date Balance Sheet in accordance with this Section 2.5 shall be limited to a review of the changes, if any, in Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date as compared to the Target Working Capital and not a review of any changes in accounting policy or any other matter but in all events in accordance with GAAP.

 

(b)          Purchaser shall permit PHMD and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records, accountant’s work papers, personnel, and facilities of the Purchaser pertaining to the operation of the Business in order to complete its review of the Closing Date Statement, the calculation of the Working Capital, as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date and the Closing Date Balance Sheet and for the purpose of resolving any disputes with respect thereto.

 

(c)          Within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Date Statement, PHMD may either inform Purchaser in writing that the Closing Date Statement is acceptable or object thereto in writing, setting forth its objections (the “Seller Objections”). The Seller Objections shall set forth PHMD’s calculation of the applicable amounts and shall specify those items or amounts as to which PHMD disagrees, and PHMD shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Date Statement. If PHMD delivers the Seller Objections and PHMD and Purchaser do not resolve all such Seller Objections on a mutually agreeable basis within fifteen (15) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Seller Objections, any Sellers Objection as to which Purchaser and PHMD cannot agree upon may be submitted by either Purchaser or PHMD to a mutually acceptable accounting firm (the “Designated Accounting Firm”) for resolution as provided herein. If PHMD and Purchaser cannot agree on a Designated Accounting Firm within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the fifteen (15) Business Day period set forth above, then Deloitte LLP shall be the Designated Accounting Firm. The Designated Accounting Firm shall have the power, authority and duty to resolve any outstanding Seller Objections and the decision of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties. Upon the agreement of PHMD and Purchaser or the decision of the Designated Accounting Firm, the Closing Date Statement, as adjusted in accordance with this Section 2.5, if necessary, shall be final and conclusive with respect to the calculation of Working Capital, as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date. If PHMD fails to deliver any Seller Objections to Purchaser within the first thirty (30) day period referred to above or if PHMD informs Purchaser in writing that the Closing Date Statement is acceptable, the Closing Date Statement delivered by Purchaser shall be final and binding on the Parties.

 

11
 

 

(d)          In resolving any disputed item, the Designated Accounting Firm (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.5, (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the highest value claimed for such item or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or PHMD, (iii) shall restrict its decision to such items included in the Seller Objections which are then in dispute, (iv) may review only the written presentations of Purchaser and PHMD in resolving any matter which is in dispute, and (v) shall render its decision in writing within thirty (30) days after the disputed items have been submitted to it. Upon the resolution of all Seller Objections, the Closing Date Balance Sheet shall be revised to reflect the resolution. If PHMD makes any Seller Objections, the fees, costs and expenses of the Designated Accounting Firm shall be paid (x) by PHMD, if the Seller Objections are resolved in favor of Purchaser, or (y) by Purchaser, if the Seller Objections are resolved in favor of PHMD. If the Seller Objections are resolved part in favor of PHMD and part in favor of Purchaser, such fees, costs and expenses shall be shared by Purchaser and PHMD in proportion to the aggregate amount of the Seller Objections resolved in favor of PHMD compared to the aggregate amount of the Seller Objections resolved in favor of Purchaser.

 

(e)          If the Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5 exceeds the Target Working Capital, Purchaser shall, within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay an amount equal to such excess to PHMD in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by PHMD; provided, however, that in no event shall Purchaser be required to make any such payment to PHMD unless and until the amount of such excess exceeds $450,000 (the “Collar”), whereupon Purchaser shall be required to pay only the amount of such excess exceeding the Collar, up to a maximum payment amount of $500,000. If the Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5 is less than the Target Working Capital, PHMD shall, within five (5) Business Days after such final determination, pay an amount equal to the absolute value of such shortfall to Purchaser in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Purchaser; provided, however, that in no event shall PHMD be required to make any such payment to Purchaser unless and until the absolute value of the amount of such shortfall exceeds the Collar, whereupon PHMD shall be required to pay only the amount of the absolute value of such shortfall exceeding the Collar, up to a maximum payment amount of $500,000. If the Working Capital as of 11:59 p.m. on the Closing Date as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.5 (i) is equal to the Target Working Capital, or (ii) exceeds or is less than the Target Working Capital by an amount that is less than or equal to the Collar, then neither Purchaser nor PHMD shall owe any amount to the other Party pursuant to this Section 2.5. The Parties shall treat any payments in accordance with this Section 2.5(e) as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

 

12
 

 

(f)          Purchaser agrees that, following the Closing through the date that payment, if any, is made pursuant to Section 2.5(e), Purchaser will not knowingly take any actions that would make it impossible to calculate Working Capital as of the Closing Date in the manner and utilizing the methods required by this Agreement.

 

Section 2.6           Withholding Tax. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Purchaser may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of the Code or any provision of applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so withheld, all such amounts withheld by Purchaser shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Sellers by Purchaser. To the extent that Purchaser becomes aware of any withholding Taxes applicable to the payment of the Purchase Price (other than due to a failure to provide the certificates specified in Section 2.4(c)(viii)), Purchaser shall provide prompt written notice to the Sellers of the amount of such Tax and the reason for such withholding. The Parties will undertake commercially reasonable efforts to minimize withholding Taxes on the payments contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Section 2.7           Non-Assignable Asset. To the extent that any Business Asset is not assignable without the consent of another party, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment thereof if such assignment or attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder. The Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of such other party to the assignment of any such Business Asset to Purchaser in all cases in which such consent is or may be required for such assignment. If any such consent shall not be obtained with respect to any such Business Asset (each, a “Non-Assignable Asset”), to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement, (i) the Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in any mutually agreeable reasonable arrangement designed to provide to Purchaser substantially equivalent benefits to those that would have been assigned to Purchaser with respect to the relevant Non-Assignable Asset had such consent been obtained, including enforcement thereof and of all rights of the Sellers against any other Person with respect to such Non-Assignable Asset, (ii) the Sellers shall take all such actions and do, or cause to be done, all such things as shall reasonably be necessary and proper in order that the value of any Non-Assignable Assets shall be preserved and shall inure to the benefit of Purchaser, (iii) the Sellers shall pay over to Purchaser promptly following receipt, all monies collected by or paid to the Sellers in respect of such Non-Assignable Assets, and (iv) the Purchaser shall have the sole responsibility for all obligations and liabilities arising out of such Non-Assignable Assets to the extent that the same would have constituted Assumed Liabilities had such consent been obtained.

 

13
 

 

Section 2.8           Foreign Subsidiary. To the extent that any action necessary to evidence or otherwise give effect to the transfer of the Securities to Purchaser shall not yet have been taken as of the Closing Date, the Parties shall cooperate with respect to taking such action as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing Date and, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the failure of the transfer of the Securities to Purchaser to have been evidenced or otherwise effectuated as of the Closing Date shall not in and of itself constitute or be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement. In the interim, to the extent permitted by Legal Requirement, (i) the Sellers shall cooperate with Purchaser in any mutually agreeable reasonable arrangement designed to provide to Purchaser substantially equivalent benefits to those that would have inured to Purchaser with respect to the Securities had all such actions been taken as of the Closing Date, and (ii) at Purchaser’s request and reasonable expense, the Sellers shall take all such actions and do, or cause to be done, all such things as shall reasonably be necessary and proper in order that the existence of the Foreign Subsidiary shall be preserved. Such actions shall include, without limitation, the current directors and officers of the Foreign Subsidiary remaining in such positions until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified (but in any event, no later than December 31, 2015); provided, however, that (A) Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to elect and qualify successor directors and officers as expeditiously as reasonably practicable; and (B) Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless the current directors and officers of the Foreign Subsidiary for any claim, liability or Loss to the extent arising out of or relating to the period commencing from and after the Closing and ending on the date of their respective resignations to the same extent that such indemnification would be provided to such directors and officers under (x) the Articles of Association of the Foreign Subsidiary as in effect immediately prior to the Closing, and (y) the Form of Indemnification Agreement annexed to Form 10-K filed by PHMD with the SEC for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2014. In no event shall the Securities be transferred, or any rights thereto be granted, other than if requested or consented to by Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the transfer documentation in respect of the Securities, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, the Parties shall, as between themselves, treat the Closing Date as the date that the Securities were transferred from PHMD, and Radiancy, Inc., to Purchaser.

 

Section 2.9           Consumer Business Vendor Contracts. To the extent any Consumer Business Vendor Contracts are used in, or otherwise necessary for, the operation of the Business, the Sellers shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, cooperate with Purchaser in any mutually agreeable reasonable arrangement designed to provide to Purchaser substantially equivalent benefits to those that would have been assigned to Purchaser with respect to the relevant Consumer Business Vendor Contract(s) had such Contract(s) been assigned to Purchaser at Closing, from the Closing Date until no later than December 31, 2015; provided, however, that Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to negotiate its own Contract(s) with the counter party(s) to such Consumer Business Vendor Contract(s) or other substitute arrangements as expeditiously as reasonably practicable. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, in and of itself, shall not be deemed to limit or prevent either Party from entering into, maintaining, pursuing or negotiating its own business relationship with any counter party to a Consumer Business Vendor Contract, subject to the Parties’ compliance with the other provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation Section 5.6.

 

Section 2.10         FDA Audit. PHMD has represented to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) that the observations contained in the Form 483 report dated June 16, 2015 will be remediated and finalized within the timeframes proposed by PHMD to the FDA. To the extent that such remediation actions are under the control of PHMD, PHMD shall be responsible for taking such remediation actions. To the extent that such remediation actions are under the control of Purchaser, Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions; provided, that in no event shall Purchaser incur any out-of-pocket costs and expenses as a result thereof unless they are reimbursed by PHMD. If (a) such observations are not remediated within such timeframes to the satisfaction of the FDA, (b) the remediation of such observations is otherwise unsatisfactory to the FDA (in either (a) or (b), other than as a result of Purchaser failing to use commercially reasonable efforts to take such remediation actions that are under its control but subject to the limit on out-of-pocket costs and expenses stated above) or (c) the steps necessary to remediate are other than as represented by PHMD to Purchaser, PHMD shall be responsible for any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses resulting from such failure and/or unanticipated circumstances.

The Seller Companies have made all material filings with Governmental Entities necessary to conduct and operate the Business as currently conducted or operated and, with respect to the Foreign Subsidiary, to permit the Foreign Subsidiary to own or use its assets in the manner in which such assets are currently owned or used.

(a)          If any Purchaser Indemnified Person or Seller Indemnified Person (each, an “Indemnified Person”) shall claim indemnification hereunder for any matter (other than a Third Party Claim) for which indemnification is provided in Section 8.1, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of facts which could reasonably be expected to give rise to Losses that will serve the basis for such claim, give written notice (a “Notice of Claim”) to PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, setting forth the basis for such claim and the nature and estimated amount of the claim to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of the claim), all in reasonable detail; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Purchaser, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. If PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable, disputes any claim set forth in the Notice of Claim, it may, at any time deliver to the Indemnified Person that has given the Notice of Claim a written notice indicating its dispute of such Notice of Claim, and the Parties shall attempt in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the dispute notice to agree upon the rights of the Parties with respect to such Notice of Claim. If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, the Parties shall have the rights and remedies, if any, available to them under this Agreement or applicable Legal Requirements.

 

35
 

 

(b)          If an Indemnified Person shall claim indemnification hereunder arising from any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is provided in Section 8.1, the Indemnified Person shall promptly after it first obtains knowledge of such Third Party Claim, give written notice (a “Third Party Notice”) to PHMD or Purchaser, as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Person”), of the basis for such claim, setting forth the nature of the claim or demand in reasonable detail to the extent known by the Indemnified Person; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Person to give timely notice thereof shall not affect any of its rights to indemnification hereunder nor relieve PHMD or Purchaser, as the case may be, from any of its indemnification obligations hereunder, except to the extent that it is actually prejudiced by such failure. The Indemnifying Person, upon notice to the Indemnified Person, may at any time within thirty (30) days after receiving a Third Party Notice, at its own cost and through counsel of its choosing and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, defend any claim or demand set forth in a Third Party Notice. The Indemnifying Person shall have the right to compromise and settle all indemnifiable matters related to Third Party Claims which are susceptible to being settled and as to which it shall have properly assumed the defense; provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or consent to the entry of any final judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or plaintiff of a written release or releases from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim of all Indemnified Persons named in such Third Party Claim and the sole relief for which are monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party. In the event that a particular Third Party Claim is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3(b) and the aggregate amount of such Third Party Claim exceeds the Indemnifying Person’s applicable maximum aggregate liability, the Indemnifying Person shall not reject any settlement or compromise offer without the prior consent of the Indemnified Person. The Indemnifying Person shall from time to time and otherwise at the Indemnified Person’s request apprise the Indemnified Person of the status of the claim, liability or expense and any resulting Proceeding and shall furnish the Indemnified Person with such documents and information filed or delivered in connection with such claim, liability or expense or otherwise thereto as the Indemnified Person may reasonably request, and shall diligently defend the applicable Third-Party Claim. The Indemnified Person shall not admit any liability to any third party in connection with any matter which is the subject of a Notice of Claim as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have properly assumed the defense and shall cooperate fully in the manner requested by the Indemnifying Party in the defense of such claim. Notwithstanding anything herein stated, the Indemnified Person shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its own expense directly or through counsel; provided, however, that if there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Person, on the one hand, and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, or if the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, which, in either case, would make it inappropriate for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Person, then the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Person (except that the Indemnifying Party shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken together). Until such time as the Indemnifying Person has timely delivered a notice of intent to defend a Third Party Claim to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnified Person shall, at the expense of the Indemnifying Person, undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Person) such claim, liability or expense, and shall have the right to compromise or settle such claim, liability or expense exercising reasonable business judgment; provided, that, such compromise or settlement shall not be effected within the first thirty (30) days after Indemnifying Party’s receipt of such Third Party Notice without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Person (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

A draft of the Allocation Schedule shall be prepared by Purchaser and delivered to PHMD within sixty (60) days following the Closing Date. If, within forty-five (45) days after the receipt of the Allocation Schedule by PHMD, PHMD notifies Purchaser in writing that PHMD objects to one or more items reflected in the Allocation Schedule, PHMD and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve such dispute; provided, however, that if PHMD and Purchaser are unable to resolve any dispute with respect to the Allocation Schedule within thirty (30) days following Purchaser’s receipt of any such notice of objection, each of Purchaser and PHMD may prepare and shall use (and shall cause its Affiliates to use) its own separate purchase price allocation (each such allocation, a “Separate Allocation”) in connection with the preparation and filing of all Tax Returns, and Purchaser shall have no liability to PHMD, and PHMD shall have no liability to Purchaser, for any Taxes that may be imposed by any Taxing Authority to the extent that such Tax arises as a result of the inconsistencies between the Separate Allocations. If no written objection is delivered by PHMD to Purchaser within the forty-five (45) day period after PHMD’s receipt of the Allocation Schedule, the Allocation Schedule as prepared by Purchaser shall deemed to be accepted by PHMD and shall be shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties. The Parties shall file (and shall cause their Affiliates to file) all Tax Returns (including amended returns and claims for refund) in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule if the Allocation is agreed to (or deemed agreed to), as the case may be pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 9.7. Any adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.5 shall be allocated in a manner consistent with the Allocation Schedule (if the Allocation Schedule is being used pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.7).

Section 9.8           Tax Sharing Agreements. PHMD shall cause all Tax Sharing Agreements between the Foreign Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Sellers (or any other Person) to be terminated effective on the Closing.

 

Section 9.9           Tax Clearance Certificates. Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller Companies and their Affiliates have not taken, and do not intend to take, any action required to comply with any applicable bulk sale or bulk transfer laws or similar laws and hereby waives compliance therewith; it being understood that any liabilities arising out of the failure of the Sellers to comply with the requirements and provisions of any such Laws in any jurisdiction shall not limit Purchaser’s rights under Section 9.2.

(a)          Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that neither Seller nor any of their respective Representatives, or any other Person acting on behalf of either Seller, or any of their respective Representatives, has made any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any information regarding the Business or the Transferred Assets, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as and to the extent required by this Agreement to be set forth in the Disclosure Letter. Purchaser further agrees that neither Seller, nor any of their direct or indirect Representatives (or any of their directors, officers, employees, members, managers, partners, agents or otherwise), will have or be subject to any liability to Purchaser resulting from the distribution to Purchaser, or Purchaser’s use of, any such information, and any information, document or material made available to Purchaser or its Representatives in certain “data rooms” and online “data sites,” management presentations, management interviews, or any other form in expectation or anticipation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)          In connection with Purchaser’s investigation of the Business, Purchaser has received, directly or indirectly, through its Representatives, from or on behalf of the Sellers or their Representatives, certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues, income from operations, and cash flows of the Business (and the business transactions and events underlying such statements) and certain business plan information, projections, presentations, predictions, calculations, estimates and forecasts of the Business and other similar data. Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, statements, predictions, presentations, calculations and other similar data, that Purchaser is well aware of such uncertainties, that Purchaser is making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, statements, calculations, presentations, predictions and other similar data so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, statements, calculations, predictions and other similar data), and that neither Purchaser, nor any Purchaser Indemnified Person, shall have any claim under any circumstances against either Seller or any other Person with respect thereto or arising therefrom. Accordingly, the Sellers make no representations or warranties whatsoever, to Purchaser or any other Person, with respect to such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, statements, calculations, presentations, predictions and other similar data (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections, forecasts, plans, statements, calculations, presentations, predictions and other similar data) and no such Person shall be entitled to rely on such estimates, projections, forecasts, plans, statements, calculations, presentations, predictions and other similar data for any purpose, including in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the financing thereof.

 

(d)          In no event shall any of the provisions of Section 10.6(a) through Section 10.6(c) be deemed to modify, qualify amend or otherwise affect in any manner any of the representations and warranties of PHMD in Article III of this Agreement, and Purchaser hereby reserves any and all rights that it may have with respect the breach or inaccuracy thereof, subject to the other limitations set forth in this Agreement.
