(c)           Objection.  Seller shall have sixty (60) days following Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Closing Balance Sheet and statement of the Net Asset Amount to review, comment on or object to such Closing Balance Sheet and statement of Net Asset Amount.  Buyer’s statement of the Net Asset Amount shall be deemed accepted by Seller and binding unless Seller sends Buyer a written objection thereto within such sixty (60) days.  Buyer shall promptly provide Seller with all reasonably requested access and information within three (3) Business Days of such request (or later, if expressly consented to by Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) in accordance with Section 2.3(e) below.  If Seller objects to the Buyer’s statement of the Net Asset Amount, Seller shall send Buyer a written objection thereto within sixty (60) days following Seller’s receipt thereof.  In the event that Seller delivers a timely written objection as aforesaid, Buyer and Seller shall work in good faith resolve the objection, but if Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve such objection within thirty (30) days after Buyer is notified of Seller’s objection then, within five (5) Business Days after such failure to resolve the matters in dispute, the matters in dispute shall be submitted for final and binding determination to the Accountants; provided, however, that in no case shall the Accountants’ determination of the Final Net Asset Amount (as defined below) be less than the Net Asset Amount.  The Accountants shall prepare their resolution statement within forty-five (45) days of appointment.  The Net Asset Amount proposed by Buyer, as may be adjusted by agreement of Seller and Buyer or finally determined by the Accountants, as applicable, to reflect the resolution of any timely objections made thereto by Seller in accordance with this Section 2.3(c), shall constitute the “Final Net Asset Amount” and shall be binding on the parties hereto.  Buyer and Seller shall each pay their own expenses of preparing and analyzing the Final Net Asset Amount and resolving objections thereto; except that the fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne proportionately by Buyer and Seller on the basis of the discrepancy (in dollars) between the aggregate value established for all disputed items by each such party as presented to the Accountant and the aggregate value of the final and binding determination of such disputed items by the Accountant.

 

(d)           Post-Closing Payment.  In the event that the Final Net Asset Amount is more than the Estimated Net Asset Amount, then Buyer shall pay to Seller such excess (such excess is referred to as an “Increase in Purchase Price”) within fifteen (15) days after the final determination of the Final Net Asset Amount if an objection has been raised in accordance with Section 2.3(c) above, or within fifteen (15) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Seller confirms in writing that it does not intend to object to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Asset Amount or (ii) the expiration of the sixty (60) day objection period referenced in Section 2.3(c) above.  In the event that the Final Net Asset Amount is less than the Estimated Net Asset Amount, then Buyer shall be entitled to recover such shortfall (such shortfall is referred to as a “Reduction in Purchase Price”) within fifteen (15) days after the final determination of the Final Net Asset Amount if an objection has been raised in accordance with Section 2.3(c) above, or within fifteen (15) days after the earlier of (i) the date on which Seller confirms in writing that it does not intend to object to the Closing Balance Sheet and the Net Asset Amount or (ii) the

assigned to the Buying Parties at Closing because the parties agree to close without a required consent or waiver and to postpone the conveyance, transfer or assignment rather than forego such consent or waiver (such Purchased Assets, the “Deferred Assets”), then the legal interest in the Deferred Assets shall not be conveyed, transferred and assigned unless and until such consent or waiver is obtained.  The Seller and Buyer shall be jointly responsible for and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consents or waivers as may be necessary to complete such transfers as soon as practicable following the Closing and to fully consummate such transfers of the Deferred Assets; except that no party shall be required to pay any third party out-of-pockets costs in connection with its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the consent of third parties in connection with the transfer of any Deferred Asset.  Pending the consummation of the assignments, conveyances and transfers referred to in this Section 5.1(d), Seller shall hold any such Deferred Assets for the benefit and at the risk of Buyer and until so consummated Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and enter into, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any applicable third parties to enter into, arrangements reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Buyer and Seller providing for the allocation to, and control by, Buyer of the benefits and rights of ownership of such Deferred Assets as if such assignments, conveyances and transfers had been consummated with respect to such Purchased Assets.  For so long as the Seller shall hold the Deferred Assets for the benefit and at the risk of Buyer as contemplated by this Section 5.1(d), Buyer shall fully perform on behalf of Seller obligations or liabilities arising under or in connection with any Contract that constitutes a Deferred Asset but only to the extent such obligations or liabilities (A) arise after the Closing Date, except that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is not intended to and does not limit in any way the obligation of the Buyer for warranty or continuing service or performance obligations to customers or partners required to be performed after the Closing, (B) do not arise from or relate to any breach by either Selling Party or any of its Affiliates of any provision of any of such Contracts, and (C) do not arise from or relate to any event, circumstance or condition occurring or existing on or prior to the Closing Date that, with notice or lapse of time, would constitute or result in a breach of any of such Contracts.

 

(e)           Seller shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause KPMG India Private Limited (which is an independent public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB that is acceptable to Buyer and its accountants) to prepare within five (5) days following the Closing, and Seller shall provide to Buyer, at Buyer’s sole expense, (i) audited, consolidated statement of net assets acquired and consolidated statements of net revenues and direct expenses, as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, and (ii) unaudited balance sheet and profit and loss statements of the Business for the six (6) months ended as of June 30, 2012, all in accordance with GAAP and all applicable U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and PCAOB rules.  After Closing, Seller shall permit, and shall cause its Affiliates to permit, Buyer’s appropriate officers, employees and accountants to review the Records and financial statements of the Selling Parties and their Affiliates to the extent related to the Business (but only to the extent any such books, records and financial statements have been retained by any of the Selling Parties and not transferred to any of the Buying Parties as a Purchased Assets hereunder) and to meet with the officers, employees and accountants of the Selling Parties and their Affiliates responsible for their financial statements, internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, all as reasonably necessary for Buyer and its accountants to review the audited statements provided to Buyer by Seller as contemplated by this Section 5.1(e) and to file the same with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission, and all after receiving reasonable notice

 

30



 

from them of their requirements and reaching agreement as to mutually convenient times for review.

(b)           Limitation on Covenant.  Ownership by the Seller Subject Parties, whether directly or indirectly, as a passive investment, of less than five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of capital stock or other securities of any Person listed on a national securities exchange or publicly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.2.

 

(c)           Non-Solicitation of Customers.  In addition to the more general restrictions set forth above, during the Restriction Period, the Seller Subject Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, either on such parties’ own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, firm or company, solicit any Person, firm or company who was a customer or client of the Business as of or at any time during the one (1) year period prior to Closing, each as identified on Schedule 3.13(c) attached hereto, for business which is comprised of the sale, license or provision of any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business” (the “Subject Customers”).  For avoidance doubt, the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) shall not, and is not intended to, prohibit, limit or otherwise interfere with the Selling Parties’ (or their Affiliates’) activities and business with or for any of the Subject Customers so long as such activities or business does not include marketing, selling, licensing, reselling or providing any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business.”  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any activity and business currently conducted by the Selling Parties’ or any of their Affiliates with or for any Subject Customer as of the Closing Date (other than

 

31



 

activity or business comprising the sale, license or provision of any products or services included within the definition of “Restricted Business”) is in no way limited by the provisions of this Section 5.2(c) and is expressly permitted for all purposes hereunder whether during the Restriction Period or thereafter.

 

(d)           Non-Solicitation and No-Hire of Employees.  During the Restriction Period, no Seller Subject Party shall, either on such Person’s own account or in conjunction with or on behalf of any other Person, firm or company, employ, solicit, entice away or attempt to employ, solicit or entice away from either Buying Party or any known Affiliate of the Buying Parties any Buyer Business Employee.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 5.2(d) shall not be deemed to have been breached or violated by the hiring, inducement or solicitation of any Person who is not an employee of the Buying Parties or their known Affiliates at the time of the inducement or solicitation.

 

(e)           Confidentiality.  For a period of five (5) years following the Closing, no Seller Subject Party shall make use of or disclose or divulge to any Person (other than to officers or employees of Buying Parties) any information (other than any information generally available to the public or disclosed or divulged pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction) relating to the Business, the identity of the customers and suppliers of the Business, or the products, finances, contractual arrangements, business or methods of business of the Business and Seller shall use its commercially reasonable endeavors to prevent the publication or disclosure of any such information.  Seller acknowledges that the Purchased Assets include trade secrets which the Buying Parties have purchased and which the Seller Subject Parties are restricted from using or disclosing.  If, in connection with the Business or the Purchased Assets, the Seller Subject Parties shall have obtained trade secrets or other confidential information belonging to any third party under an agreement which contained restrictions on disclosure, then the Seller Subject Parties will not at any time infringe such restrictions.

 

(f)            Injunctive Relief.  Seller acknowledges that any violation of any provision of this Section 5.2 may cause irreparable harm to Buyer, that damages for such harm will be incapable of precise measurement and that, as a result, Buyer may not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the harm caused by such violations.  Therefore, in the event of a violation of Section 5.2 by any Seller Subject Party, Seller agrees that, in addition to its other remedies, Buyer shall be entitled, without the necessity of either proof of actual damage or the posting of a bond, to seek injunctive relief, including but not limited to an immediate temporary injunction, temporary restraining order and/or preliminary or permanent injunction to restrain or enjoin any such violation.

to Section 6.3(a) in excess of the Actual Purchase Price, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses;

 

(iii)          Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses based upon a breach of a covenant pursuant to Section 6.3(b) in excess of the Actual Purchase Price, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid or payable by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses; and

 

(iv)          Buyer shall not be liable to the Seller Indemnified Persons for indemnifiable Losses in connection with any Assumed Liabilities pursuant to Section 6.3(c) in excess of $10,250,000, less the amount of any other indemnifiable Losses paid by Buyer to any Seller Indemnified Persons hereunder, regardless of the basis of the claim for any such indemnifiable Losses.

 

For purposes of the application of clause (ii) above, Losses that are not recoverable due to the limitation set forth in such clause as applied prior to payment in full of the Deferred Cash Consideration and any Earn-Out, shall be held in abeyance and shall become payable when and if the Deferred Cash Consideration and Earn-Out are paid (or would have been paid but for set-off of such Losses).  The provisions of this Section 6.6(b) shall be applied in a manner consistent with the illustrations set forth above in Section 6.6(a).

 

(d)           The parties shall cooperate with each other to resolve any claim or liability with respect to which one party is obligated to indemnify the other party hereunder, including by making commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or resolve any such claim or liability.  Each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to address any claims or liabilities that may provide a basis for an indemnifiable claim such that each party shall respond to any claims or liabilities in the same manner it would respond to such claims or liabilities in the absence of the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.

 

(e)           Recovery for any indemnifiable Loss shall be net of any (i) insurance proceeds actually received in connection with the circumstances giving rise to the Loss (regardless of when such proceeds are received), and (ii) recoveries from third parties pursuant to indemnification or otherwise.  For purposes of Section 6.6(d)(i), to the extent the Buyer reasonably determines in good faith that a claim for Loss is a claim covered under the Buyer or its Affiliates then existing applicable insurance policy, Buyer shall first submit any such claim with its insurance carrier for recovery.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Person shall be indemnified or reimbursed for any Loss arising or resulting from any change in law enacted after the Closing Date.

 

Section 6.7.           Set-Off.

 

(a)           Subject to the provisions of this Article 6 and the limitations set forth herein, Buyer shall set-off against the Deferred Cash Consideration and the Earn-Out for any amounts payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Article 6 or under Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 (a “Claimed Set-Off”), prior to having recourse to Seller; provided, however, in all

 

40



 

such cases, any Claimed Set-Off that is determined to be owed shall be applied (i) first, in reduction of the Second Installment, (ii) then in reduction of the Earn-Out, and (iii) then in reduction of the First Installment.  Once any available Deferred Cash Consideration and Earn-Out has been exhausted, Seller shall remain liable for any additional amounts payable to the Buyer Indemnified Parties, subject to the limitations set forth herein.

 

(b)           Buyer shall give Seller written notice of any Claimed Set-Off.  Except in the case of a Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 (which claims may be made by Buyer only after amounts are finally determined to be owing to Buyer in accordance with Section 2.3 or Section 2.4), Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of Buyer’s written notice to object to the Claimed Set-Off.  Seller shall make any objection to a Claimed Set-Off in writing and shall forward the same to Buyer.  If Seller does not timely object to a Claimed Set-Off, or in the case of any Claimed Set-Off made pursuant to and when permitted by Section 2.3 or Section 2.4, Buyer may permanently set-off against the Second Installment  and Earn-Out as set forth in this Section 6.7(a).

 

(c)           If the Seller does timely object and Seller and Buyer are unable to agree to the amount of the Claimed Set-Off within thirty (30) days, either Seller or Buyer may institute arbitration proceedings in accordance with Section 7.6 hereof for a determination of the amount of the Claimed Set-Off.  If Seller objects to a Claimed Set-Off, or during the pendency of Seller’s thirty (30) day notice period, Buyer may withhold the amount of the Claimed Set-Off from payments otherwise due as Deferred Cash Consideration or Earn-Out pending final determination of the Claimed Set-Off, which determination shall be made as expeditiously as possible, in good faith and in accordance with this Agreement.

 

Section 6.8.           Exclusive Remedy.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (a) the provisions of this Article 6 (and solely for purposes of determining the Purchase Price as provided therein, Sections 2.3 and 2.4) set forth the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties hereto (and the Indian Seller and the Indian Buyer) with respect to this Agreement, the Indian Purchase Agreement or any matter or event described herein or therein or transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and (b) in no event shall any Losses be recoverable under this Article 6 to the extent any Indemnifying Party has already made payment in respect of the subject matter, circumstance or event giving rise to such Losses under another Section or provision of this Agreement; other than for actions for specific performance or other equitable remedies.  For avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall cause Indian Buyer, and Seller shall cause Indian Seller, to take all necessary or appropriate actions such that the provisions of this Article 6 shall serve as the sole and exclusive remedy or basis of recovery for any Loss under or with respect to the Indian Purchase Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereunder.  Each party hereby waives any provision of law to the extent that it would limit or restrict the agreement contained in this Section 6.8.

 

Section 6.9.           Tax Treatment.  Any payments made to any party pursuant to this Article 6 shall constitute an adjustment of the U.S. Purchase Price for applicable Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable law.
