1.2                               Assignment of Contracts and Permits.

 

(a)                                 Purchased Contracts and Purchased Permits.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at and as of the Closing, Seller shall assign and transfer to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall take assignment of, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to:

F.                                      The other Contracts of Seller listed or described on Schedule 1.2(a)(ii).

 

(b)                                 Certain Provisions Regarding Assignments; Failure to Obtain Third Party Consents.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or assume any Contract or Permit or any claim or right or any benefit or obligation thereunder or resulting therefrom if (A) an assignment or assumption thereof, without the Consent of a Governmental Authority or a third party thereto, would constitute a breach or violation thereof or result in the loss, termination or cancellation thereof or require a payment thereunder by reason of the assignment or assumption thereof and (B) such Consent is not obtained at or prior to the Closing.

 

(ii)                                  Without limitation of the rights or obligations of Seller or Purchaser under Article VIII, if any Purchased Contract or Purchased Permit or any claim, right, benefit or obligation thereunder or resulting therefrom is subject to Section 1.2(b)(i) because a Consent that is required in connection with the assignment or assumption thereof has not been obtained at or prior to the Closing or does not remain in full force and effect at or after the Closing, then until such time as such Consent is obtained, (A) Seller shall continue to use its commercially reasonable efforts (at its own expense) to obtain such Consent (including preparation and execution after Closing of any documents reasonably required to obtain any Consent) and (B) Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate in any commercially reasonable and

 

3



 

lawful agreement designed to provide to Purchaser the benefits of such Purchased Contract or Purchased Permit and any claims, rights or other benefits thereunder or resulting therefrom.  To the extent that Purchaser is provided the benefits pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) of any such Purchased Contract or Purchased Permit or any claim, right or other benefit thereunder or resulting therefrom, Purchaser shall perform the obligations of Seller thereunder or in connection therewith with respect to periods following the Closing, but only to the extent that such obligation would have been an Assumed Liability but for the fact that such Consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing.

 

1.3                               Excluded Assets.  Notwithstanding the terms of Section 1.1 and 1.2, the following assets of Seller shall be retained by Seller, are not being sold or assigned to Purchaser hereunder and do not constitute Acquired Assets or Purchased Contracts, as applicable (all of the following are referred to herein collectively as the “Excluded Assets”):

(d)                                 The other assets listed or described on Schedule 1.3(d).

 

1.4                               Assumed Liabilities.  At the Closing, Purchaser shall assume, and agree to pay, perform, fulfill and discharge, only the following Liabilities of Seller (collectively, the “Assumed Liabilities”):

 

(a)                                 Accounts Payable.  All trade accounts payable of Seller with the Persons listed on Schedule 1.4(a), but not to exceed the amount set forth on Schedule 1.4(a) and only to the extent accrued in the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Assumed Accounts Payable”);

 

(b)                                 Other Current Operating Liabilities.  The other current liabilities of Seller incurred in the ordinary course of business that (i) are listed or described on Schedule 1.4(b), but not to exceed with respect to any individual item the amount set forth on Schedule 1.4(b) with

 

4



 

respect thereto, or (ii) are not listed on Schedule 1.4(b) and do not otherwise exceed $5,000 individually or $15,000 in the aggregate, but in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) only to the extent accrued in the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (the “Other Current Operating Liabilities”); and

 

(c)                                  Purchased Contracts and Purchased Permits.  Subject to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.5(b), all obligations that are required to be performed after the Closing Date under the Purchased Contracts and Purchased Permits (but not any obligation of Seller (i) that have become due as of, prior to or as a result of the Closing or (ii) arising out of any breach by Seller of or default by Seller under any such Purchased Contract or Purchased Permit (or out of any event that occurs prior to Closing that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would become such a breach or default)); provided, that, unless Purchaser elects in writing otherwise, Purchaser shall not assume, or agree to pay, perform, fulfill or discharge, any Liability arising under any Contract that Seller has not disclosed on a Schedule to this Agreement.

 

1.5                               Retained Liabilities.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:

 

(a)                                 except as specifically set forth in Section 1.4, neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates shall assume or otherwise be liable in respect of, or be deemed to have assumed or otherwise be liable in respect of, any Liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates whatsoever, including any Liability disclosed on the Schedules hereto (other than Schedule 1.4(a) or Schedule 1.4(b)); and

2.2                               Adjustment to Purchase Price.

 

(a)                                 On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser a statement setting forth Seller’s good faith estimate of the Closing Net Working Capital, which estimate is hereby recorded to have been negative $740,248 (the “Estimated Closing Net Working Capital”).  Accordingly, the Closing Payment Amount is hereby recorded to be equal to $1,038,760.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 2.2(b)(i), Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that the Acquired Cash is an amount equal to $50,000 and that the transfer and delivery of the Acquired Cash from Seller to Purchaser shall be effectuated by offset from the wire transfer of the Closing Payment Amount to Seller, and that Purchaser shall be permitted to deposit $50,000 from the Closing Payment Amount into a bank account established by Purchaser.

 

(b)                                 Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall prepare and deliver to Seller an unaudited statement (the “Closing Statement”) of the Closing Net Working Capital, which shall be prepared in accordance with the Net Working Capital Principles.  Promptly upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall make available to Seller copies of the work papers and back-up materials used by Purchaser in preparing the Closing Statement and such other documents as Seller may reasonably request in connection with its review thereof.  Within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of the Closing Statement, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written statement either accepting the Closing Statement or specifying any objections thereto.  If Seller does not deliver any such objections within such thirty-day period, the Closing Statement shall become final and binding upon all parties.  If Seller does deliver such objections within such thirty-day period, and the parties cannot resolve such objections within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, any remaining disputes shall be resolved by Ernst & Young LLP or another nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser (the “Accounting Firm”).  The Accounting Firm shall be instructed to resolve such disputes within thirty (30) days after its appointment and shall resolve such disputes based solely on the presentations of Purchaser and Seller as to the calculation of the disputed items in accordance with the Net Working Capital Principles.  The resolution of such disputes by the Accounting Firm shall be set forth in writing and shall be final and binding upon all parties, and the Closing Statement, as modified by such resolution, shall become final and binding upon the date of such resolution.  The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be paid fifty percent (50%) by Seller and fifty percent (50%) by Purchaser.

 

(c)                                  Purchase Price Adjustment.

 

(i)                                     If the Closing Net Working Capital (as determined to be final and binding pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) is greater than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, then Purchaser shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Closing Statement becomes final and binding pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount equal to such difference to an account designated in writing by Seller.

 

(ii)                                  If the Closing Net Working Capital (as determined to be final and binding pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) is less than the Estimated Closing Net Working Capital, then Seller shall promptly (and in any event within five (5) Business Days after the date that the Closing Statement becomes final and binding pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) pay by wire transfer of

 

7



 

immediately available funds an amount equal to such difference to an account designated in writing by Purchaser.

 

(iii)                               The Purchase Price shall be deemed to be increased by the amount by which the Closing Net Working Capital (as determined to be final and binding pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) exceeds the Target Working Capital or decreased by the amount by which the Closing Net Working Capital (as determined to be final and binding pursuant to Section 2.2(b)) is less than the Target Working Capital.

 

(d)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, the terms “greater than” and “less than” shall have their ordinary mathematical meaning when used with respect to negative numbers in connection with the determination of the adjustment described in this Section 2.2 and in the definition of “Closing Payment Amount.”  For example, the number -750,000 is less than the number -500,000.

 

(e)                                  Cooperation and Access to Books and Records.  Purchaser and Seller shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith and assist each other in the finalization of the Closing Statement, including the making available to the extent necessary of books, records, working papers and personnel.

 

2.3                               Allocation.  The Purchase Price and all other amounts constituting consideration for the Acquired Assets shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets and the covenants set forth in Section 6.8 in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and in a manner consistent with the principles set forth in Schedule 2.3.  Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller for Seller’s review a schedule allocating the Purchase Price and all other amounts constituting consideration for the Acquired Assets among the Acquired Assets and the covenants set forth in Section 6.8 in accordance with such principles (the “Allocation Schedule”).  Textura Parent, Purchaser and Seller shall execute and submit all necessary forms to report the transactions contemplated hereby for federal and state income Tax purposes in accordance with the Allocation Schedule and shall not take a position for Tax purposes inconsistent therewith.  Any adjustment to the Purchase Price or other amount constituting consideration for the Acquired Assets shall be allocated as provided by Treas. Reg. § 1.1060-1 (or any successor regulation).

(i)            If any Purchaser Indemnified Party makes an indemnification claim from time to time pursuant to Section 8.5 or 8.6 and either (i) obtains a final, non-appealable judgment or award awarding Losses to such Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection therewith or (ii) Purchaser and Seller otherwise agree in writing that such Purchaser Indemnified Party is entitled to recover Losses in connection therewith, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover such Losses from the Holdback Textura Shares, and the number of Holdback Textura Shares to be delivered to Seller upon the expiration of the Holdback Period shall be reduced (but not below zero) by that number of shares which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of Losses so awarded or agreed by (y) the Per Share Price; and

 

(ii)           If upon the expiration of the Holdback Period there are any pending indemnification claims made by Purchaser pursuant to Section 8.5 or 8.6 that have not been resolved by a final, non-appealable judgment or award or by the mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller (such claims, the “Post-Holdback Period Disputed Claims”), then Escrow Holder shall continue to hold in escrow (until final resolution in accordance with Section 6.1(b)), out of the Holdback Textura Shares to be delivered pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) at the expiration of the Holdback Period, that number of shares which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the aggregate amount of Losses then claimed by Purchaser to have been suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with all such Post-Holdback Period Disputed Claims by (y) the Per Share Price (it being understood that the Escrow Holder shall retain all remaining Holdback Textura Shares in escrow if the number of shares determined pursuant to the foregoing calculation exceeds the number of Holdback Textura Shares then held in escrow).  The number of shares so retained by Escrow Holder is referred to herein as the “Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares.”

 

From time to time during the Holdback Period, if any Purchaser Indemnified Party becomes entitled to recover Losses from the Holdback Textura Shares pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i),

 

27



 

Escrow Holder is hereby authorized by Seller and each of the Unitholders, as applicable, to (x) complete, on behalf of Seller and/or the Unitholders, as applicable, the Holdback Stock Power(s) and thereby transfer to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party that number of Holdback Textura Shares which is calculated pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) in respect of such Losses; and (y) cancel the stock certificate(s) that formerly evidenced the Holdback Textura Shares and issue one or more replacement stock certificates, in the name of Seller and/or the Unitholders (as applicable pursuant to Section 6.1(c)) but still held in escrow by Escrow Holder on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 6.1, for the remaining number of Holdback Textura Shares.  As promptly as practicable after taking the foregoing actions, Escrow Holder shall deliver written notice to Seller (and the Unitholders, if applicable), containing copies of the Holdback Stock Power(s) completed in connection with the foregoing transactions (it being understood that the failure to deliver such written notice shall not invalidate any transfer to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties made in connection therewith).  Upon the expiration of the Holdback Period, Escrow Holder is hereby further authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate the release of the Holdback Textura Shares and the retention of the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any, including the cancellation of the stock certificate(s) representing all of the Holdback Textura Shares then remaining in escrow and the issuance of one or more separate stock certificates for the Holdback Textura Shares, if any, that are then to be released from escrow to Seller and/or the Unitholders in accordance with this Section 6.1(a) and a separate stock certificate for the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any.  Seller acknowledges that any stock certificate(s) issued pursuant to the foregoing two sentences will contain the legend set forth in Exhibit D.

 

(b)           If there are any Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, for so long as there is any Post-Holdback Period Disputed Claim that has not been resolved by a final, non-appealable judgment or award or by the mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller, Escrow Holder shall continue to hold the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares in escrow in accordance with this Section 6.1(a); provided, that from time to time as Post-Holdback Period Disputed Claims are resolved by a final, non-appealable disposition or by the mutual agreement of Purchaser and Seller:

 

(i)            If a Purchaser Indemnified Party is awarded or otherwise becomes entitled to recover Losses in connection with any such resolution, such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover such Losses from the Post-Holdback Period Textrua Shares, and an amount of Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the amount of such Losses by (y) the Per Share Price shall be transferred by Escrow Holder to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party in respect of such Losses; and

 

(ii)           From time to time after the expiration of the Holdback Period, if there becomes a positive Holdback Cushion Amount, then Escrow Holder shall promptly deliver to Seller, from the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, that number of shares which is equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Holdback Cushion Amount by (B) the Per Share Price (it being understood that the remainder of the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares shall continue to be held in escrow on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 6.1(b) pending resolution of the remaining Post-Holdback Period Disputed Claims).

 

If any Purchaser Indemnified Party becomes entitled to recover Losses from the Post-Holdback

 

28



 

Period Textura Shares pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(i), Escrow Holder is hereby authorized by Seller and each of the Unitholders, as applicable, to (x) complete, on behalf of Seller and/or the Unitholders, as applicable, the Holdback Stock Power(s) and thereby transfer to the applicable Purchaser Indemnified Party that number of Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares which is calculated pursuant to Section 6.1(b)(i) in respect of such Losses; and (y) cancel the stock certificate(s) that formerly evidenced the Post Holdback Period Textura Shares and issue one or more replacement stock certificates, in the name of Seller and/or the Unitholders (as applicable pursuant to Section 6.1(c)) but still held in escrow by Escrow Holder on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 6.1, for the remaining number of Post-Holdback Textura Shares.  As promptly as practicable after taking the foregoing actions, Escrow Holder shall deliver written notice to Seller (and the Unitholders, if applicable), containing copies of the Holdback Stock Power(s) completed in connection with the foregoing transactions (it being understood that the failure to deliver such written notice shall not invalidate any transfer to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties made in connection therewith).  Escrow Holder is hereby further authorized to take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate the release of the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares and the periodic release of the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares contemplated by Section 6.1(b)(ii), including the cancellation of the stock certificate(s) representing all of the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares then remaining in escrow and the issuance of one or more separate stock certificates for the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any, that are then to be released from escrow to Seller and/or the Unitholders in accordance with Section 6.1(b)(ii) and a separate stock certificate for the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any.  Seller acknowledges that any replacement stock certificate(s) issued pursuant to the foregoing paragraph will contain the legend set forth in Exhibit D.

 

(c)           Subject to compliance with Sections 6.2(a) and 6.2(c), Seller may distribute to the Unitholders all or any portion of the Holdback Textura Shares prior to the expiration of the Holdback Period, and the Unitholders shall thereupon succeed to the rights and have all of the obligations of Seller with respect to the Holdback Textura Shares and the terms of this Section 6.1 shall thereafter continue to apply to such Holdback Textura Shares; provided, that prior to making such distribution, in addition to complying with the applicable requirements of Section 6.2, Seller shall deliver to Textura Parent (i) ten (10) original stock powers in form satisfactory to Textura Parent duly executed in blank by each Unitholder (for a total of thirty (30) such instruments), which Escrow Holder shall be authorized to complete, if applicable, after the Closing on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 6.1 (the “Unitholder Holdback Stock Powers” and, together with the Seller Holdback Stock Powers, the “Holdback Stock Powers”) and (ii) an instrument in form satisfactory to Textura Parent pursuant to which such Unitholder shall grant a security interest and power of attorney consistent with the terms of Sections 6.1(d) and 6.1(e) in and to the Holdback Textura Shares so distributed to such Unitholder.  Promptly after receipt of the Unitholder Holdback Stock Powers and other written instruments evidencing the distribution reasonably satisfactory to Escrow Holder, Escrow Holder shall cancel the stock certificate representing the Holdback Textura Shares and issue one or more replacement stock certificates, in the name of Seller and/or the Unitholders, as applicable, but still held in escrow by Escrow Holder on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Section 6.1, in accordance with Seller’s written instructions with respect to the number of shares distributed to each Unitholder.  Seller acknowledges that any replacement stock certificate(s) issued pursuant to the foregoing sentence will contain the legend set forth in Exhibit D.  Notwithstanding any distribution of Holdback Textura Shares to the Unitholders, the Holdback

 

29



 

Textura Shares shall nevertheless continue to constitute an undivided source of recovery for indemnification claims by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article VIII, and any Losses that the Purchaser Indemnified Parties become entitled to recover pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) or 6.1(b)(i) shall be allocated to, and accordingly reduce, the Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares allocable to Seller and the Unitholders, as applicable, in proportion to their relative ownership of the Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares at such time.

 

(d)           As security for the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, Seller hereby assigns and pledges to Escrow Holder, for its benefit and for the benefits of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, and hereby grants and assigns to Escrow Holder, for its benefit and the benefit of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, a continuing first priority lien on and security interest in all of its rights, title and interests in (i) the Holdback Textura Shares (including the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any), (ii) any stock dividends, stock splits or other distributions or similar changes in capitalization made in respect of the Holdback Textura Shares (including the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any) and any other right or property which Seller shall receive or shall become entitled to receive for any reason whatsoever with respect to, in substitution for or in exchange for any of the Holdback Textura Shares (including the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if any), and (iii) all products and proceeds of the foregoing.

 

(e)           Seller hereby makes, constitutes and appoints Escrow Holder as its attorney-in-fact, giving it full power to effect any of the transactions contemplated by this Section 6.1, including (i) transfers of any or all of the Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares to any Purchaser Indemnified Party, effecting the documentation of such transactions with Textura Parent’s transfer agent and completion and delivery of Holdback Stock Powers in respect thereof and (ii) enforcing collection of any of the Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares by legal action or otherwise.  This power shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and shall become effective on the Closing Date and shall continue in effect for the entire period during which any Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares are held in escrow pursuant to this Section 6.1.  Seller hereby expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all notices, advertisements, hearings or process of law in connection with the exercise by Escrow Holder of any of its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

 

(f)            Seller acknowledges and agrees that any stock dividends, stock splits, or other distributions or similar changes in capitalization made in respect of the Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, if applicable, shall be delivered to Escrow Holder and upon such delivery shall be property subject to escrow in accordance with this Section 6.1 and available for satisfaction of indemnification claims made by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Article VIII.  In the event of any such stock dividend, stock split or other distribution or similar change in capitalization other than a cash dividend made in respect of the Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares, appropriate adjustments shall be made in connection with the various calculations set forth in this Section 6.1.  All voting rights associated with the Holdback Textura Shares and Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares may be exercised by Seller (or the Unitholders, as applicable with respect to any Holdback Textura Shares or Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares distributed to them in

 

30


 

accordance with Section 6.1(c)).  In the absence of direction from Seller and/or the Unitholders, as applicable in Section 6.1(c), Escrow Holder shall not vote any of the Holdback Textura Shares or the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares attributable to Seller or such Unitholder, as applicable.

 

6.2                               Distributions by Seller; Transfer Restrictions; IPO.

 

(a)                                 From and after the Closing, Seller shall pay, perform and discharge when due all of the Retained Liabilities.  Seller shall not make, and the Unitholders shall not accept, any distribution to the Unitholders (including any distribution of all or any portion of the Purchase Price received hereunder) without Seller first complying with all Laws applicable to distributions and all Laws pertaining to insolvency and the protection of creditors.

 

(b)                                 Except (i) with the prior written consent of Textura Parent (which consent may be withheld in the sole discretion of Textura Parent) and subject to compliance with any requirements set forth in the Textura Parent Organizational Documents or (ii) as permitted by Section 6.2(c), Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, assign, transfer, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of, voluntarily, involuntarily or by operation of Law, or subject to any Lien (any such action, “Transfer”), any of the Textura Shares.  Any attempted Transfer of Textura Shares other than strictly in accordance with this Agreement shall be void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever.  In addition, any Transfer of a direct or indirect limited liability company interest or other ownership or beneficial interest in Seller shall be included within, and shall be deemed to be a Transfer prohibited by, the first sentence of this Section 6.2(b).

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 6.2(b), but subject to (i) compliance with Section 6.2(a), (ii) compliance with any requirements set forth in the Textura Parent Organizational Documents and (iii) receipt by Textura Parent of evidence of compliance with applicable securities laws (including an opinion of counsel) as may be requested by Textura Parent, Seller may distribute or otherwise Transfer to the Unitholders all or any portion of the Textura Shares or rights thereto (including the Holdback Textura Shares), and such Unitholders shall succeed to the rights and have the obligations of Seller with respect to the Textura Shares (it being understood that the restrictions upon Transfer set forth in Section 6.2(b) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to subsequent Transfers of such Textura Shares by the Unitholders); provided, that prior to making any such distribution, Seller shall, if required pursuant to Section 6.2(e), deliver Lock-Up Agreements duly executed by each Unitholder (together with any other deliveries that may be required pursuant to Section 6.1(c), and subject to the other requirements set forth in Section 6.1(c), if such distribution includes any rights in respect of the Holdback Textura Shares).  Seller agrees that upon request by Textura Parent from time to time after the Closing, Seller shall confirm its compliance with the foregoing requirements and provide Textura Parent with any documentation reasonably requested by Textura Parent regarding the same.  Seller acknowledges that any certificates evidencing Textura Shares distributed to the Unitholders shall contain the legend set forth in Exhibit D.

 

(d)                                 If Textura Parent consummates a firm commitment underwritten sale of its common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act filed with the SEC on Form S-1 (or any successor form adopted by the SEC), that results in a class of equity securities of Textura Parent or a successor being listed or designated for trading,

 

31



 

as applicable, on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other similar stock exchange (an “IPO”), then Consultant shall have the right, by providing written notice to Textura Parent not later than ten (10) Business Days after the consummation of the IPO, to require Textura Parent to redeem that number of Textura Shares (excluding Holdback Textura Shares) which have been distributed by Seller to Consultant without violation of Section 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) which is equal to (i) $1,500,000 divided by (ii) the price at which shares of common stock of Textura Parent are offered to the public in connection with the IPO (the number of shares that the Consultant is eligible to redeem pursuant to this Section 6.2(d), the “Consultant Redeemed Shares”).  The closing of the purchase and redemption of the Consultant Redeemed Shares shall occur on the fifth (5th) Business Day after Textura Parent receives the notice described in the first sentence of this Section 6.2(d), and at such closing Textura Parent shall pay to Consultant a purchase price for the Consultant Redeemed Shares equal to $1,500,000; provided, that Textura Parent’s obligation to consummate such purchase and redemption shall be conditioned upon Textura Parent’s receipt from Consultant of reasonable and customary stock transfer instruments, including reasonable and customary representations and warranties to the effect that the Consultant holds title to the Consultant Redeemed Shares free and clear of Liens.

 

(e)                                  Not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall, to the extent that any portion of the Textura Shares have not then been distributed to the Unitholders, execute and deliver, to Textura Parent and/or its underwriters, as applicable, such customary documents and instruments as may be necessary to cause the Textura Shares then held by Seller to become subject to the same lock-up restrictions as are or will be put in place with respect to executive officers of Textura Parent in connection with the IPO, in form and substance satisfactory to Textura Parent and its underwriters (each, a “Lock-Up Agreement”).  As a condition to any Transfer of all or any portion of the Textura Shares to Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.2(c), Seller shall obtain from the Unitholders and deliver to Textura Parent duly executed Lock-Up Agreements, in form and substance satisfactory to Textura Parent and its underwriters with respect to the Textura Shares distributed to them.  If any portion of the Textura Shares have not been distributed to the Unitholders as of the thirtieth (30th) day after the Closing Date, then Seller shall not be permitted to Transfer any portion of the Textura Shares to the Unitholders pursuant to Section 6.2(c) except in compliance with any additional requirements that may be set forth in the Lock-Up Agreement executed by Seller pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 6.2(e), and neither Textura Parent nor Purchaser shall have any obligation to seek or obtain the Consent of the underwriters of Textura Parent to any such Transfer after such date that may be required under the Lock-Up Agreement executed by Seller pursuant to this Section 6.2(e).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2(e), the Lock-Up Agreement with respect to the Consultant shall not restrict the transactions contemplated by Section 6.2(d).

 

(f)                                   If an IPO is not consummated on or prior to August 31, 2013 (the “First Redemption Date”), Seller shall have the right, if it has delivered written notice of such election to Textura Parent not more than ninety (90) days prior to the First Redemption Date and not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the First Redemption Date, to require Textura Parent to redeem an amount of Textura Shares not to exceed the then applicable Number of Available Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions of a promissory note in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Redemption Note”).  If an IPO is not consummated on or prior to August 31, 2014 (the “Second Redemption Date”), Seller shall have the further right, if it has delivered written notice of such election to Textura Parent not more than ninety (90) days prior to the Second

 

32



 

Redemption Date and not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Second Redemption Date, to require Textura Parent to redeem, on the terms and subject to the conditions of Redemption Note, an amount of Textura Shares not to exceed the then applicable Number of Available Shares.  If an IPO is not consummated on or prior to August 31, 2015 (the “Third Redemption Date” and, together with the First Redemption Date and the Second Redemption Date, the “Redemption Dates”), Seller shall have the further right, if it has delivered written notice of such election to Textura Parent not more than ninety (90) days prior to the Third Redemption Date and not less than forty-five (45) days prior to the Third Redemption Date, to require Textura Parent to redeem, on the terms and subject to the conditions of a Redemption Note, an amount of Textura Shares not to exceed the then applicable Number of Available Shares.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Textura Parent’s obligation to consummate such purchase and redemption contemplated in this Section 6.2(f) may be conditioned upon the receipt from Seller of reasonable and customary stock transfer instruments, including reasonable and customary representations and warranties to the effect that Seller holds title to the Textura Shares redeemed pursuant to this Section 6.2(f) free and clear of Liens.  For the avoidance of doubt, if Seller does not timely elect to require Textura Parent to redeem the Number of Available Shares with respect to any Redemption Date, Seller shall have no further right, on subsequent Redemption Dates or otherwise, to require Textura Parent to redeem the Number of Available Shares that Seller was eligible to require Textura Parent to redeem on such Redemption Date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2(f):

 

(i)                                     If all or any portion of the Textura Shares have been distributed to Unitholders in compliance with Section 6.2(a) and 6.2(c) prior to any Redemption Date, such Unitholders shall have the right to participate, subject to compliance with the requirements of Section 6.2(f) (including the obligation to deliver reasonable and customary stock transfer instruments, including reasonable and customary representations and warranties to the effect that such Unitholder holds title to the Textura Shares redeemed pursuant to this Section 6.2(f) free and clear of Liens) on a pro rata basis with Seller in any redemption permitted pursuant to this Section 6.2(f) provided that the maximum number Textura Shares that Textura Parent shall be required to redeem on any Redemption Date shall not exceed the then applicable Number of Available Shares;

 

(ii)                                  If the Number of Available Shares with respect to any Redemption Date exceeds the number of Textura Shares that are actually held by Seller and/or the Unitholders on such Redemption Date because there are Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares then held in escrow pursuant to Section 6.1, Seller (and the Unitholders, if applicable) shall only be permitted to redeem that number of Textura Shares that are actually held by Seller and/or the Unitholders on such Redemption Date; provided, that if Seller timely elects to redeem its full allotment of the Number of Available Shares with respect to such Redemption Date, and Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares are subsequently delivered to Seller pursuant to Section 6.1(b), then Seller shall have the right to require such Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares (in an amount not to exceed the Number of Available Shares less any Textura Shares previously redeemed with respect to such Redemption Date) to be redeemed by Textura Parent pursuant to a separate Redemption Note, with any such Redemption Note having a maturity date equal to the maturity date that such Redemption Note would have had in the absence of the limitation on the redemption of the Post-Holdback Period Textura Shares set forth in this Section 6.2(f)(ii) (but not earlier than five (5) Business Days after the date of such redemption), by providing written

 

33



 

notice of such election to Textura Parent not later than five (5) days after delivery of such Post-Holdback Textura Shares;

 

(iii)                               Under no circumstance shall Seller be entitled to redeem a number of Textura Shares pursuant to this Section 6.2 in excess of the number of shares actually issued by Textura Parent pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(iv)                              Each Textura Share redeemed pursuant to this Section 6.2(f) shall be purchased by Textura Parent for a purchase price equal to the Per-Share Price; and

 

(v)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.2(f), in the event of any stock dividend, stock split or other distribution or similar change in capitalization other than a cash dividend made in respect of the Textura Shares, appropriate adjustments shall be made in connection with the various calculations set forth in this Section 6.2(f).

 

(g)                                  Nothing in this Section 6.2 shall be deemed to require the Company to proceed with any registration of its securities or to consummate an IPO (it being acknowledged and agreed that the sole and exclusive remedy for Seller and the Unitholders in the event that an IPO is not consummated is the redemption rights set forth in Section 6.2(f)).

 

6.3                               Name Change.  Within five (5) Business Days after the Closing Date, Seller shall make the appropriate filings to change its name to eliminate the word “Planswift” and shall provide Purchaser with evidence (including copies of filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware) of such change.  After the Closing, Seller shall not include in its name, or otherwise use, in either case in whole or in part, the name “Planswift” or any other confusingly similar name or mark or any other name or mark used by Seller prior to the Closing.

 

6.4                               Referral of Inquiries.  From and after the Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to refer all Persons making inquiries regarding the Business to Purchaser and shall promptly notify Purchaser of the name of each such Person and the nature of the inquiry.

 

6.5                               Accounts Receivable.  Following the Closing, if Seller receive any payment in respect of any Account Receivable, Seller shall promptly turn such payment over to Purchaser.

 

6.6                               Confidentiality.  Except as required by Law or any Governmental Authority or by the terms of this Agreement, after the Closing, Seller shall maintain all Confidential Information in strict confidence and not permit disclosure of any Confidential Information to any Person and shall not use any such Confidential Information for any purpose except on behalf of or for the benefit of Purchaser or its Affiliates.  As of the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate and have no further force or effect.

 

6.7                               Tax Matters.

 

(a)                                 After the Closing, Seller shall make available to Purchaser such records as Purchaser may require for the preparation of any Tax Returns or other similar governmental reports or forms required to be filed by Purchaser and such records as Purchaser may require for the defense of any audit, examination, administrative appeal of, or Proceeding concerning, any

 

34



 

such Tax Return or other similar governmental report, form or matter, in each case in respect of the Business or the Acquired Assets.

 

(b)                                 Seller shall file all Tax Returns of Seller and any Tax Returns relating to the Acquired Assets for Tax periods ending prior to or on the Closing Date, including, for the avoidance of doubt, all sales tax, use tax and employment tax filings, Seller’s year-end filings such as IRS Forms W-2 and 1099, and any transfer tax, stamp tax, recording tax or other Tax filings in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements.  Seller shall pay all Taxes as reflected in such filings.

 

(c)                                  Except as provided in Section 9.7, Seller shall make any filings and deliver any notices required by any employment security, Tax or other Governmental Authority in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Related Agreements.  Following the Closing, Seller shall file all income Tax Returns and other governmental reports and forms required to be filed by Seller in respect of any income Taxes.

 

(d)                                 Seller shall be responsible for all Taxes relating to any tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date.  With respect to any tax period that begins on or before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), in the case of any real property, personal property, or other ad valorem Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Straddle Period, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date will be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the portion of the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire taxable period.  In the case of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period, the allocation of such Taxes between the pre-Closing Date period and the post-Closing Date period shall be made on the basis of an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.  Purchaser shall be responsible for preparing and filing all Tax Returns in connection with any Straddle Period and Seller shall pay over to Purchaser any amounts for which it is responsible pursuant to this Section 6.7(d) within three (3) Business Days of Purchaser’s request therefor.

 

6.8                               Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

 

(a)                                 Seller hereby covenants and agrees that from and after the Closing Date and during the three (3) year period thereafter, Seller shall not directly or indirectly (except as otherwise contemplated in this Article VI on behalf of Purchaser):

 

(i)                                     engage in, or control, advise, manage or receive any economic benefit from, have any financial interest in (except investment in not more than two percent (2%) of any class of securities of any publicly traded company) or exert any influence upon any business, corporation or other Person which conducts, activities anywhere in the world the same as or similar to any activities of the Business;

 

(ii)                                  solicit, divert or attempt to solicit or divert any Person who is, was, or was solicited to become, a customer or supplier of the Business at any time prior to the date hereof; or

 

35



 

(iii)                               employ, solicit for employment or encourage to leave his or her employment, in each case, either as an officer or employee, any Transferred Employee or any other individual who was during the twenty-four (24)-month period prior to such employment, solicitation or encouragement, or is at the time of such employment, solicitation or encouragement, an officer or employee of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (or any successor corporation into which Purchaser or any of its Affiliates may be merged or consolidated).

 

(b)                                 Seller acknowledges that Purchaser would be irreparably harmed by a violation of Section 6.8(a), and Seller agrees that Purchaser, in addition to any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, permanent injunction and other equivalent relief, restraining Seller from any actual or threatened breach of Section 6.8(a).  Seller agrees to waive any requirement that a bond be posted in order for Purchaser to secure an injunction or other equitable remedy (or, if such requirement cannot be waived under applicable law, Seller agrees that such bond need not be more than a nominal sum).  All remedies shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

 

(c)                                  If the provisions of Section 6.8(a) are determined to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, including by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to duration, area or scope of activity, then Section 6.8(a) shall be considered divisible (with the other provisions of Section 6.8(a) to remain in full force and effect) and the invalid or unenforceable provisions shall become and be deemed to be immediately amended to include only such time, area, scope of activity and other restrictions, as may be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter, and Seller expressly agrees that Section 6.8(a), as so amended, shall be valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included therein.

(a)                                 For a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date, or such longer time period as may be identified by Seller with respect to any particular Maintenance and Support Contract as set forth in Schedule 6.9, Purchaser shall provide, or cause to be provided, to Seller and its customers the services described in Schedule 6.9, which shall be performed by Purchaser on Seller’s behalf as and when due in fulfillment of Seller’s obligations under the Maintenance and Support Contracts consistent with the past practices of Seller in respect thereof, but subject in any event to the limitations set forth on Schedule 6.9 (the “Maintenance and Support Services”).  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.9, or unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by Purchaser and Seller in writing, Purchaser shall provide the Maintenance and Support Services in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner in which the Maintenance and Support Services were generally performed by Seller immediately prior to the Closing.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.9, Purchaser shall not be obligated to provide any Maintenance and Support Service if the provision of such Maintenance and Support Service would violate any Law or any agreement or license to which Purchaser is subject.

 

(c)                                  For the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall remain party to, and retain all liability for, all Maintenance and Support Contracts that were executed before the Closing Date,

 

36



 

and Purchaser’s sole liability in respect thereof shall be to perform the Maintenance and Support Services on Seller’s behalf in accordance with and subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 6.9.

 

6.10                        Agreements with Distributors.  Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser to facilitate the sale and license of the Products through the Sales Channel Contracts retained by Seller hereunder for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days after the Closing.  Purchaser agrees to pay, prior to the applicable due date under the applicable Sales Channel Contract, all commissions and similar amounts payable to any counterparty in accordance with any Sales Channel Contract with respect to sales facilitated under this Section 6.10; provided, that Purchaser may, with the prior written consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), remit such funds to Seller for further payment to the counterparty, in which case Seller shall promptly remit such funds to such counterparty.  As promptly as practicable after the Closing, Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to obtain its own contracts for the sale and distribution of the Products with the counterparties to the Sales Channel Contract.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

EMPLOYEES

 

7.1                               Offers of Employment.  Purchaser shall offer employment in writing to each Seller Employee, which offers of employment shall advise the Seller Employee of the terms and conditions of such Seller Employee’s position with Purchaser, immediately after the Closing.  Such Seller Employees who accept any such offer of employment and become employees of Purchaser effective immediately following the Closing shall be referred to herein as “Transferred Employees.”  Unless otherwise set forth in a written employment agreement between Purchaser and a Transferred Employee, nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Purchaser to continue the employment of any Transferred Employee after the Closing.

 

7.2                               Liability for Accrued Compensation; Payment of Post-Closing Compensation.

 

(a)                                 With respect to all Seller Employees (including Transferred Employees), Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay, on or prior to the Closing Date, all Compensation earned or accrued by the Seller Employees as of the close of business on the Closing Date,  and all other claims by or Liabilities to such employees arising on or before the Closing Date, regardless of whether any such amounts have been accrued on the books of Seller at the close of business on the Closing Date.

 

(b)                                 With respect to Transferred Employees, Purchaser shall be responsible for all Compensation earned or accrued by such employees after the close of business on the Closing Date.  Seller agrees to pay, for the account and benefit of Purchaser and under the tax identification number of Purchaser (including payment of any required tax withholdings to appropriate Governmental Authorities), the amounts described in the preceding sentence that are payable as of the first payroll date occurring after the Closing (which is anticipated to occur on February 6, 2013) (such amounts, the “Post Closing Compensation Obligations”), and shall promptly provide Purchaser with such information as Purchaser requires in order to properly report such payments on the Forms W-2 of the Transferred Employees for calendar year 2013.

 

37



 

7.3                               Liability for Severance.  Seller shall have Liability for and shall pay all severance payments (if any) due to any of the Seller Employees (including any Transferred Employee) as a result of the termination of their employment with Seller, whether occurring prior to, at or after the Closing.

 

7.4                               Liabilities Under Benefit Plans.  Seller shall retain all, and Purchaser shall not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any, Liability or responsibility for any Liabilities under, with respect to or arising in connection with, any Benefit Plan or with respect to any Seller Employee, including Transferred Employees.

 

7.5                               General.  Nothing in this Article VII or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed as (a) conferring any legal rights upon any Transferred Employee for continuation of employment by Purchaser or its Affiliates, (b) obligating Purchaser with respect to any Seller Employee, including any Transferred Employee, in any manner for any payment upon discontinuation of employment by Purchaser, (c) requiring Purchaser to implement, or limiting the rights of Purchaser to amend or discontinue, any fringe benefit plan, program or practice or any other employee benefit plan of any nature whatsoever, (d) conferring upon any Transferred Employee or Seller Employee any rights or remedies under this Agreement (including under this Article VII) or (e) entitling any Transferred Employee to any particular level of compensation or benefits.

 

7.6                               Cooperation.  Upon request, Seller shall provide Purchaser, and Purchaser shall provide Seller, such documents, data and information as may reasonably be necessary to implement the provisions of this Article VII and to administer their respective benefit plans.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

INDEMNIFICATION

 

8.1                               Survival.  The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months, except that (a) Tax and Employee Benefits Warranties shall survive until the Statute of Limitations Date; (b) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.12 (other than Section 4.12(c)) shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years; and (c) Title and Authorization Warranties shall survive indefinitely.  In the event that any claim is made in writing and delivered by the applicable party with respect to any representation or warranty before expiration of the period such representation or warranty survives, then such representation or warranty shall, notwithstanding any subsequent expiration of such period, continue to survive for purposes of such claim.  The covenants, agreements and other provisions of the parties hereto contained herein or in any Related Agreement, including the indemnities set forth in Sections 8.2(b) and 8.2(c), shall survive the Closing indefinitely in accordance with their terms.

 

8.2                               Indemnification by Seller.  Seller shall indemnify Textura Parent, Purchaser and their respective Affiliates (each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any of them relating to or arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

 

38



 

(a)                                 any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any document delivered by Seller at the Closing;

 

(b)                                 any breach of or failure by Seller to perform any covenant or obligation of Seller set out in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any document delivered by Seller at the Closing;

 

(c)                                  any of the Excluded Assets or the Retained Liabilities or, other than the Assumed Liabilities, any other Liabilities relating to or arising out of the ownership or operation of the Business on or prior to the Closing Date or any other actions by Seller on or prior to the Closing Date;

 

(d)                                 without limitation of any rights or remedies of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under the Other Closing Matters Agreement, any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Seller, any of the Unitholders or any of the Other Affiliated Entities in the Other Closing Matters Agreement;

 

(e)                                  without limitation of any rights or remedies of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under the Other Closing Matters Agreement, any breach of or failure by Seller, any of the Unitholders or any of the Other Affiliated Entities to perform any covenant or obligation set out in the Other Closing Matters Agreement; and

 

(f)                                   Any violation by Seller or any of the Other Affiliated Entities of any Export Control Law, and any Proceeding alleging any such violation, and any other Loss otherwise arising out of or relating to any sale or license of any Product or Software by Seller or any of the Other Affiliated Entities to any Person in Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan or Syria.

 

8.3                               Indemnification by Purchaser.  Purchaser shall indemnify Seller and the Unitholders against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, it relating to or arising out of or in connection with any of the following:

 

(a)                                 any breach of or any inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Purchaser or Textura Parent in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any document delivered by Purchaser or Textura Parent at the Closing;

 

(b)                                 any breach of or failure by Purchaser or Textura Parent to perform any covenant or obligation of Purchaser or Textura Parent set out in this Agreement or any Related Agreement or any document delivered by Purchaser or Textura Parent at the Closing; or

 

(c)                                  any of the Assumed Liabilities.

 

Textura Parent shall be jointly and severally liable with Purchaser for the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.3(a), but only to the extent such obligations arise out of or relate to the representations and warranties set forth in Article V, and for the indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.3(b), but only to the extent such obligations arise out of or relate to the covenants and obligations set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2.

 

39



 

8.4                               Limitations.

 

(a)                                 Deductible.  Seller shall not be liable for Losses under Section 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d) or 8.2(e) until, and then only to the extent that, the aggregate amount of all Losses otherwise due to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under all such sections, collectively exceeds an accumulated total of $50,000 (the “Deductible”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Purchaser Indemnified Parties’ aggregate Losses otherwise due under Section 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d) and/or 8.2(e) exceed the Deductible, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover only that portion of their Losses under Section 8.2(a), 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d) and/or 8.2(e) in excess of the Deductible.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Deductible shall not apply to Losses under Section 8.2(f).

 

(b)                                 Representations and Warranties Cap.  In no event shall Seller’s aggregate liability under Section 8.2(a) (other than with respect to Title and Authorization Warranties and Tax Warranties) exceed $1,125,000.  The foregoing limitation shall not apply to claims with respect to any Title and Authorization Warranties or any Tax Warranties (it being understood that Losses in respect of the Title and Authorization Warranties and Tax Warranties shall not be counted for purposes of determining whether the foregoing limitation has been reached, notwithstanding the fact that such Losses are indemnifiable pursuant to Section 8.2(a)).

 

(c)                                  Overall Cap.  Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s total aggregate liability pursuant to Section 8.2 shall not exceed the Purchase Price, and Purchaser’s total aggregate liability pursuant to Section 8.3 shall not exceed the Purchase Price.

 

(d)                                 Additional Matters.

 

(i)                                     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.4(a), 8.4(b) and 8.4(c) shall not apply to any claim for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

 

(ii)                                  Any and all claims by a Purchaser Indemnified Party for Losses shall be satisfied first from the Holdback Textura Shares in accordance with Section 6.1, but only to the extent there exists a positive Holdback Cushion Amount that is sufficient to satisfy such Losses.  Subject to the foregoing sentence, Purchaser shall have the right to set-off against its payment obligations pursuant to the Installment Note and the Redemption Note(s), if any, any Losses that are or may become recoverable from Seller pursuant to this Article VIII.

 

(iii)                               With respect to any Loss incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any Purchaser Indemnified Party for which such Purchaser Indemnified Party could assert, as a basis for indemnification, Section 8.2(a) as well as one or more of Sections 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e) or 8.2(f), such Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek indemnification under any such available basis as determined by such Purchaser Indemnified Party in its sole discretion.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Purchaser Indemnified Party seeks and is eligible for indemnification for a particular Loss pursuant to Section 8.2(b), 8.2(c), 8.2(d), 8.2(e) or 8.2(f), the fact that indemnification for such Loss could also be obtained pursuant to Section 8.2(a) shall not, by virtue of such fact, result in the application of Section 8.4(b) to limit the amount of recoverable Losses in connection therewith.

 

40


 

8.5          Claims.  As soon as is reasonably practicable after becoming aware of a claim for indemnification under this Agreement not involving any claim, or the commencement of any Proceeding, of the type described in Section 8.6, the Indemnified Person shall promptly give notice to the Indemnifying Person of the nature and amount (to the extent then ascertainable) of such claim; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced thereby.  If the Indemnifying Person does not object in writing to such indemnification claim within twenty (20) days after receiving notice thereof, the Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Person the amount of such claim, and no later objection by the Indemnifying Person shall be permitted.  If the Indemnifying Person agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but objects that it is obligated to pay only a lesser amount, the Indemnified Person shall nevertheless be entitled to recover promptly from the Indemnifying Person the lesser amount, without prejudice to the Indemnified Person’s claim for the difference.

 

8.6          Notice of Third Party Claims; Assumption of Defense.  The Indemnified Person shall give written notice as promptly as is reasonably practicable to the Indemnifying Person of the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Proceeding, by any Person not a party hereto in respect of which indemnity may be sought under this Agreement; provided, that the failure of the Indemnified Person to give notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations under this Article VIII except to the extent (if any) that the Indemnifying Person shall have been actually prejudiced thereby.  The Indemnifying Person may, at its own expense (a) participate in the defense of any such claim or Proceeding and (b) upon written notice to the Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Person’s delivering to the Indemnified Person of a written agreement that the Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3, as applicable, for all Losses arising out of such claim or Proceeding, at any time during the course of any such claim or Proceeding, assume the defense thereof; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Person’s counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person, (ii) the Indemnifying Person has the financial resources to perform its obligations hereunder, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Person, and (iii) the Indemnifying Person shall thereafter consult with the Indemnified Person upon the Indemnified Person’s reasonable request for such consultation from time to time with respect to such claim or Proceeding; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Person shall not have the right to assume the defense of any claim or Proceeding involving criminal liability or in which any relief other than monetary damages is sought against the Indemnified Person.  If the Indemnifying Person assumes the defense of a claim or Proceeding pursuant to this Section 8.6, the Indemnified Person shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the Indemnifying Person; provided, that if counsel for the Indemnified Person reasonably determines that a conflict of interest exists between such Indemnified Person and the counsel utilized by the Indemnifying Person, the expenses of the Indemnified Person’s counsel shall be paid by the Indemnifying Person.  Whether or not the Indemnifying Person chooses to defend or prosecute any such claim or Proceeding, all of the parties hereto shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof.

 

8.7          Settlement or Compromise.  Any settlement or compromise made or caused to be made by the Indemnified Person or the Indemnifying Person, as the case may be, of any such claim or Proceeding of the kind referred to in Section 8.6 shall also be binding upon the

 

41



 

Indemnifying Person or the Indemnified Person, as the case may be, in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise; provided, that (a) no Liability shall be imposed on the Indemnified Person as a result of such settlement without its prior written consent and (b) the Indemnifying Person shall not settle or compromise any such Claim or Proceeding unless it has the financial resources to undertake its obligations under any such settlement or compromise, as reasonably determined by the Indemnified Person prior to entry into such settlement or compromise.  The Indemnified Person shall give the Indemnifying Person advance notice as soon as practical of any proposed settlement or compromise of any claim or Proceeding it is defending, during which time the Indemnifying Person may reject such proposed settlement or compromise; provided, further, that from and after such rejection, the Indemnifying Person shall be obligated to assume the defense of and full and complete Liability and responsibility for such claim or Proceeding and any and all Losses in connection therewith, including all Losses in excess of the amount of Losses (whether otherwise indemnifiable or not) which the Indemnified Person would have been obligated to pay under the proposed settlement or compromise.

 

8.8          Failure of Indemnifying Person to Act.  In the event that the Indemnifying Person does not elect to assume the defense of any claim or Proceeding, then any failure of the Indemnified Person to defend or to participate in the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, or to cause the same to be done, shall not relieve the Indemnifying Person of its obligations hereunder.

 

8.9          Effect on Purchase Price of Indemnity Payments.  Any amounts payable under Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 shall be treated by Purchaser and Seller as an adjustment to the Purchase Price of the Acquired Assets.

 

8.10        Related Agreements.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Purchaser or any other Purchaser Indemnified Party to pursue remedies against any Key Employee under their respective Employment Agreement or any other Contract which he executes after the Closing or against the Consultant under the Consulting Agreement or any other Contract which he executes after the Closing or any other Contract to which any employee of Purchaser is a party.

 

8.11        Specific Performance.  Seller acknowledges that Purchaser would be immediately and irreparably harmed by a breach of any of Purchaser’s covenants set forth in Article VI, which harm money damages would be inadequate to remedy, and that Purchaser shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction, temporary restraining order, permanent injunction and other equivalent relief, restraining Seller from any actual or threatened breach thereof.  Seller agrees to waive any requirement that a bond be posted in order for Purchaser to secure an injunction or other equitable remedy (or, if such requirement cannot be waived under applicable law, Seller agrees that such bond need not be more than a nominal sum).  The remedies provided in this Agreement shall be cumulative and shall not preclude the assertion or exercise of any other rights or remedies available under law, in equity or otherwise.

 

8.12        Guaranty.  Textura Parent irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Seller (and, if applicable, the Unitholders) the punctual payment, when due of all amounts payable to Seller (and, if applicable, the Unitholders) at any time by Purchaser under the

 

42



 

Installment Note, in each case however created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, primary or secondary, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and whether now or hereafter existing or due or to become due (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Textura Parent hereby agrees that if for any reason (including the liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefits of creditors, reorganization, composition or readjustment of, or other similar actions affecting the status, existence, assets or obligations of, Purchaser) Purchaser shall fail to fully and promptly pay any amount due and payable to Seller (and, if applicable, the Unitholders) at any time under the Installment Note as and when the same shall become due and payable, then Textura Parent shall promptly pay such amount in full to Seller (or, if applicable, the Unitholders).  The obligations of Textura Parent hereunder shall be continuing and irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, primary and original, immediate and not contingent and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition.  This guaranty shall constitute a guaranty of payment when due and of performance when due and not of collection, and Textura Parent specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary, and that Textura Parent shall not be entitled to require, before or as a condition of enforcing the liability of Textura Parent under this guaranty or requiring payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations by Textura Parent hereunder, or at any time thereunder, that Seller or any Unitholder (i) asserts or files any claim, or proceeds to obtain judgment, against Purchaser or any other Person or against the assets of Purchaser or any other Person; (ii) make any other effort to obtain payment or performance of any Guarantied Obligation from Purchaser or any other Person; (iii) foreclose against or seek to realize upon any security now or hereunder existing for any Guaranteed Obligation; or (iv) exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which Seller is or may be entitled in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or any security or other guaranty therefor.

 

8.13        Effect of Investigation.  Purchaser and Textura Parent shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties of Seller and its Affiliates herein and in the Related Agreements notwithstanding any due diligence review, audit or other investigation or inquiry undertaken or performed by or on behalf of Textura Parent or Purchaser.  Seller’s obligations under this Article VIII shall not be limited in any way by the knowledge of Purchaser or Textura Parent.

 

8.14        Exclusive Remedy.  The parties hereby agree that the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive means of recovery of a party or any other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article VIII except in the case of fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

 

ARTICLE IX

9.4          Waivers.  The failure of a party hereto at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect its right at a later time to enforce the same.  No waiver by a party of any condition or of any breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing, and no waiver in any

 

44



 

one or more instances shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach in other instances or a waiver of any other condition or breach of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty.

 

9.5          Assignment.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, that no assignment of any rights or obligations shall be made by Seller without the written consent of Purchaser or by Purchaser without the written consent of Seller, except that (i) Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder without such consent to any Affiliate of Purchaser and (ii) Purchaser may assign any or all of its rights and obligations hereunder without such consent to a purchaser of all or substantially all of Purchaser’s assets or its business or to any successor entity in a merger involving Purchaser and such entity.

 

9.6          No Third Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and, to the extent provided herein, their respective Affiliates, and no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to confer upon any other third parties (including any Transferred Employee or other employee of Seller) any remedy, claim, Liability, reimbursement, cause of action or other right; provided, that the Consultant is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 6.2(d).

 

9.7          Bulk Transfer Law.  The parties hereby waive compliance by Seller with the provisions of any applicable “bulk sales law” or “bulk transfer law” of any jurisdiction in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 8.2(c), Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all Losses incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, them relating to or arising as a result of any such non-compliance.

 

9.8          Further Assurances.  Upon the reasonable request of Purchaser, Seller will after the Closing Date execute and deliver to Purchaser such other documents, releases, assignments and other instruments as may be required to effectuate completely the transfer and assignment to Purchaser of, and to vest fully in Purchaser title to, each of the Acquired Assets, and to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement.  Seller further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, it will cooperate in all reasonable efforts of Purchaser to enforce or preserve its rights in and to all Intellectual Property conveyed to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement.

 

9.9          No additional Representations; Disclaimer.

 

(a)           Except as set forth in Article V, neither Purchaser nor Textura Parent will be subject to any liability or indemnification obligation to Seller, the Unitholders or any other Person resulting from (nor shall Seller or any Unitholder have any claim with respect to) the distribution to Seller or the Unitholders, or the use by Seller or the Unitholders of, or reliance on, any information, documents, projections, forecasts or other material made available to Seller or the Unitholders in the Data Room, management presentations, the draft of the Registration Statement of Textura Parent on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1”), the valuation report prepared by Grant Thornton as of September 30, 2012 (issued on January 3, 2013) (the “GT Report”) or other material in expectation of, or in connection with, the issuance of the Textura Shares contemplated by this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability or

 

45



 

obligation may be sought to be imposed, whether sounding in contract or tort, or whether at law or in equity, or otherwise.

 

(b)           Without limitation of Section 9.9(a), in connection with the investigation by Seller and the Unitholders of Textura Parent and its Affiliates, Seller and the Unitholders have received or may receive from Textura Parent and/or its Affiliates certain estimates, projections, forward-looking statements and other forecasts and certain business plan information, including the GT Report and a draft of the Form S-1 (which, among other things, describes a certificate of incorporation, bylaws and other matters not currently in effect and which may never be in effect).  Seller acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans, that Seller and the Unitholders are familiar with such uncertainties, that Seller and the Unitholders are taking full responsibility for making their own respective evaluations of the adequacy and accuracy of all estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and further, that any such estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans contained in the draft of the Form S-1 are subject in all respects to change prior to the date when such document is filed with, and declared effective by, the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Neither Seller nor the Unitholders shall have a claim against anyone with respect to the GT Report, the Form S-1 or any other estimates, projections and other forecasts and plans that have been provided to Seller or the Unitholders, and Seller acknowledges that neither Textura Parent, Purchaser nor any member, officer, director, employee or agent of the foregoing, whether in an individual, corporate or any other capacity, make any representation, warranty, or other statement with respect to, and neither Seller nor the Unitholders are relying on, such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans (including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such estimates, projections, forecasts or plans), and Seller and the Unitholders each agree that they have not relied thereon.

(2)  Note to Draft:  The date of this Note and the First Installment Date will be the applicable Redemption Date under the Purchase Agreement; provided, that if such date is not a Business Day, the date of this Note will be the first Business Day after the applicable Redemption Date.

 

(3) Note to Draft:  Amount of each installment to be equal to the initial principal amount of this Note divided by four.

 

(4)  Note to Draft:  Second Installment Date to be the date that is three months after the First Redemption Date; Third Installment Date to be the date that is six months after the First Redemption Date; and Fourth Redemption Date to be the date that is nine months after the First Redemption Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such date is not a Business Day, the applicable Installment Date will be the first Business Day after the date it otherwise would have been pursuant to the foregoing sentence.

 



 

Installment Date” and, together with the First Installment Date, the Second Installment Date and the Third Installment Date, the “Installment Dates”.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Note and any installment hereunder may be prepaid at any time without penalty or premium.  Contemporaneously with the repayment of the full Principal Amount and interest (if applicable pursuant to Paragraph 2 below), Payee shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed, at the office of Payor.

 

2.              Interest.  Interest shall not accrue on the Principal Amount of this Note; provided, that if Payor does not pay any installment within five (5) Business Days after the applicable Installment Date, then subject to Paragraph 4 below, interest shall accrue, upon past due amounts only, at an interest rate equal to 10% per annum (the “Interest Rate”) in accordance with this Paragraph 2.  Interest at the Interest Rate shall accrue on such past due amounts from the date of this Note until the date upon which such past due amounts are paid in full.  Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be compounded quarterly.  Payments shall be applied first to payment of any fees, costs, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) due, then to payment of accrued but unpaid interest, if any, then to the portion of the Principal Amount due on the First Installment Date, then to the portion of the Principal Amount due on the Second Installment Date, then to the portion of the Principal Amount due on the Third Installment Date, then to the portion of the Principal Amount due on the Fourth Installment Date.

 

3.              Payments.  All payments of the Principal Amount, interest (if applicable pursuant to Paragraph 2 above) and other amounts due hereunder shall be made by Payor in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer to the account of Payee set forth on Schedule 1 hereto or in accordance with such other wire instructions as Payee may designate to Payor in writing from time to time in accordance herewith at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of any payment to which such other wire instructions are applicable.

 

4.              Setoff.  Subject to Section 8.4(d)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement, this Note and the payment of the Principal Amount, interest (if applicable) and other amounts due hereunder shall be subject to offset and/or reduction by Payor, in whole or in part, on account of any amounts now or hereafter owing by Payee or any of its Affiliates to Payor or any of its Affiliates under the Purchase Agreement or any of the Related Agreements or otherwise, it being acknowledged and agreed that the availability of such setoff rights shall not be deemed to limit or affect the right of any Purchaser Indemnified Party to seek recovery against Payee or any of its Affiliates directly in lieu of such setoff rights.  For the avoidance of doubt and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if as of any Installment Date, (a) the aggregate amount of Losses then claimed in good faith by Payor to have been suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with all then unresolved indemnification claims pursuant to the Purchase Agreement exceeds (b) the amount obtained by multiplying (i) the number of Holdback Textura Shares then held in escrow by Escrow Holder pursuant to Section 6.1 of the Purchase Agreement by (ii) the Per Share Price (i.e., such that there is not then a positive Holdback Cushion Amount), Payor shall be entitled to exercise its setoff rights pursuant to this Paragraph 4 and withhold from payments otherwise due on such date an amount equal to the excess of the

 

13



 

aggregate Losses described in the foregoing clause (a) over the amount described in the foregoing clause (b) (it being understood that such set-off amounts shall not become due (and no interest shall accrue thereupon) unless and until, and then only to the extent of, any positive Holdback Cushion Amount that thereafter becomes available as determined in accordance with the Purchase Agreement).

 

5.              Collection Costs.  If Payor fails to make any payment due under this Note, Payee shall be entitled to recover from Payor all costs of effecting collection hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) and all such costs and expenses shall be payable upon demand.

 

6.              Waivers.  Payor hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of protest and all other notices and demands in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance or default of this Note.  No delay by Payee in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any power or right, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other power or right hereunder or otherwise; and no waiver whatsoever or modification of the terms hereof shall be valid unless set forth in writing by Payee and then only to the extent set forth therein.

 

7.              Assignment and Transfer of Note

 

a.              [Subject to Paragraph 7(b) below, t]his Note may not be negotiated, sold, assigned, transferred, distributed, encumbered or otherwise disposed of (each, a “Transfer”) by Payee without Payor’s prior written consent.

 

b.              [Notwithstanding Paragraph 7(a), but subject to compliance with Section [6.2(a)] of the Purchase Agreement, Payee may Transfer this Note, in whole or in part, to the Unitholders; provided, that Payee shall deliver written notice of such Transfer to Payor not less than ten (10) business days prior to such Transfer and shall comply with the other requirements of this Paragraph 7(b).  In the case of any such Transfer, (i) Payee shall surrender this Note, duly endorsed to the Unitholders, at the office of Payor and (ii) upon such surrender, Payor shall issue and deliver, in the name of each Unitholder, as applicable, new promissory notes of like tenor and identical terms (other than this Paragraph 7(b)) to this Note (each, a “Transferee Note”), with each such Transferee Note having that principal amount which is determined based upon Payee’s notice of Transfer delivered pursuant to the foregoing sentence (not to exceed in any event the Principal Amount to the extent then unpaid with respect to all Transferee Notes in the aggregate).  For the avoidance of doubt, following any Transfer, each subsequent holder, by its acceptance hereof, shall be bound by the restrictions upon Transfer set forth in Paragraph 7(a) (but without any application of this Paragraph 7(b)), and each Transferee Note shall include corresponding restrictions].(5)

 


(5)  Note to Draft:  Paragraph 7(b) to be included only in any Redemption Note issued to Seller.  Any Redemption Note issued to the Unitholders will contain only Paragraph 7(a), renumbered as Paragraph 7, with corresponding changes throughout the Note.
