Each Contract material to the business of UEP as presently conducted or proposed to be conducted to which UEP is a party or by which UEP is bound is in full force and effect and constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of, and is legally enforceable against, UEP, and, to the Knowledge of the Controlling Uniroyal Parties, the other parties thereto.

(a)     Consideration Interests.

(b)     Ownership of Units. Such Uniroyal Party is the owner of the Equity Interests set forth opposite such Uniroyal Party’s name on Exhibit A, and such Uniroyal Party will transfer and deliver to Invisa and the Company such Equity Interests free and clear of any Encumbrances or other restrictions on transfer. Except as set forth on Exhibit A, such Uniroyal Party is not a party to any option, warrant, right, contract, call, put or other agreement or commitment providing for the disposition or acquisition of any equity or debt securities of UEP (other than this Agreement). Such Uniroyal Party is not a party to any voting trust, proxy or other agreement or understanding with respect to the voting of any Equity Interests other than UEP LLC Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement.

(c)     Enforceability. This Agreement and when signed at the Closing, each of the other Transaction Documents to which such Uniroyal Party is a party, have been duly executed and delivered by such Uniroyal Party and constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Uniroyal Party, enforceable against such Uniroyal Party in accordance with their respective terms except as may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and (b) the effect of rules of law governing the availability of equitable remedies. Such Uniroyal Party has the full right, power, authority and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Transaction Documents to which such Uniroyal Party is a party and to perform his obligations under this Agreement and such Transaction Documents.

(d)     No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder will not result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, or give rise to any right or cause of action under, any contractual obligations of such Uniroyal Party. No approval, consent, authorization or other order of, and no declaration, filing, registration, qualification or recording with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, including, without limitation, any party to any contractual obligation of such Uniroyal Party, is required to be made by or on behalf of such Uniroyal Party in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by such Uniroyal Party of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder, except under the Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement and the Securityholders Agreement.

25
 

(e)     Purchase for Own Account. The Consideration Interests to be acquired by such Uniroyal Party hereunder as consideration for the Equity Interests will be acquired for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the 1933 Act, and such Uniroyal Party has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same.

(f)     Investment Experience. Such Uniroyal Party understands that the acquisition of the Consideration Interests involves substantial risk. Such Uniroyal Party: (a) either alone or together with one or more of his or her purchaser representatives, has experience as an investor in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that such Uniroyal Party is able to fend for himself, can bear the economic risk of such Uniroyal Party’s investment in the Consideration Interests and has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Uniroyal Party is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of this investment in the Consideration Interests and protecting his own interests in connection with this investment, and (b) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with Invisa and certain of its officers, directors or controlling persons of a nature and duration that enables such Uniroyal Party to be aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of such persons. Each Uniroyal Party represents that the address at which his investment decision was made is located at the address set forth on Exhibit A.

(g)     Additional Information. Such Uniroyal Party acknowledges that he has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning Invisa and to obtain additional information that he has requested to verify the accuracy of the information contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall operate to modify or limit in any respect the representations and warranties of Invisa and the Company or to relieve Invisa or the Company from any obligations to such Uniroyal Party for breach thereof or the making of misleading statements or the omission of material facts in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

(h)     Restricted Securities. Such Uniroyal Party understands that the Consideration Interests are characterized as “restricted securities” under the 1933 Act inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under the 1933 Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances. In this connection, such Uniroyal Party represents that he is familiar with Rule 144 of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act. Such Uniroyal Party understands that the Company is under no obligation to register any of the securities sold hereunder under federal or state securities laws. Such Uniroyal Party understands that no public market now exists for any of the Consideration Interests and that it is unlikely that a public market will ever exist for any of the Consideration Interests.

ARTICLE 6

TAX MATTERS

6.1           Tax Covenants.

(a)     Without the prior written consent of neither the Uniroyal Parties (and, prior to the Closing, UEP, its Affiliates and their respective Representatives) nor the Company shall not, to the extent it may affect, or relate to, UEP, make, change or rescind any Tax election, amend any Tax Return or take any position on any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action or enter into any other transaction that would have the effect of increasing the Tax liability or reducing any Tax asset of UEP in respect of any Pre-Closing Tax Period.

29
 

(b)     All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, value added and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement (including any real property transfer Tax and any other similar Tax) shall be borne and paid by the Company when due. The Company shall, at its own expense, timely prepare and file any Tax Return or other document with respect to such Taxes or fees (and Invisa and the Uniroyal Parties shall cooperate with respect thereto as necessary), including signing any such Tax Return.

(c)     The Company or UEP shall prepare, or cause to be prepared, all Tax Returns required to be filed by UEP after the Closing Date with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. Any such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice (unless otherwise required by Law) and without a change of any election or any accounting method and shall be submitted by the Company to the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative (together with schedules, statements and, to the extent requested by Uniroyal Parties, supporting documentation) at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return. If the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative objects to any item on any such Tax Return, he shall, within 10 days after delivery of such Tax Return, notify the Company in writing that he so objects, specifying with particularity any such item and stating the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If a notice of objection shall be duly delivered, Invisa and the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative shall negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such items. If the Company and the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative are unable to reach such agreement within 10 days after receipt by the Company of such notice, the disputed items shall be resolved by a nationally recognized accounting firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative (the “Accounting Referee”) and any determination by the Accounting Referee shall be final. The Accounting Referee shall resolve any disputed items within 20 days of having the item referred to it pursuant to such procedures as it may require. If the Accounting Referee is unable to resolve any disputed items before the due date for such Tax Return, the Tax Return shall be filed as prepared by the Company and then amended to reflect the Accounting Referee's resolution. The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee shall be borne equally by the Company and the Uniroyal Parties. The preparation and filing of any Tax Return of UEP that does not relate to a Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be exclusively within the control of the Company.

6.2           Termination of Existing Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all existing Tax sharing agreements (whether written or not) binding upon UEP shall be terminated as of the Closing Date. After such date none of UEP, the Uniroyal Parties nor any of the Uniroyal Parties’ Affiliates and their respective Representatives shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder.

30
 

6.3           Tax Indemnification. The Controlling Uniroyal Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify UEP, Invisa, the Company and each Invisa Indemnitee and hold them harmless from and against (a) any Loss attributable to any breach of or inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made in Section 3.2(i); (b) any Loss attributable to any breach or violation of, or failure to fully perform, any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in this Article 6; (c) all Taxes of UEP or relating to the business of UEP for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods; and (d) any and all Taxes of any person imposed on UEP arising under the principles of transferee or successor liability or by contract, relating to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing Date, in each of the above cases together with any out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including attorneys' and accountants' fees) incurred in connection therewith. The Controlling Uniroyal Parties shall reimburse the Company for any Taxes of UEP that are the responsibility of the Uniroyal Parties pursuant to this Section 6.3 within ten Business Days after payment of such Taxes by the Company, provided that the Company will have given the Uniroyal Parties written notice not less than thirty (30) days prior to any such payment that it proposes to make such payment and shall have given the Uniroyal Parties an opportunity to discuss such payment with Invisa.

6.4           Straddle Period. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a taxable period that begins before and ends after the Closing Date (each such period, a “Straddle Period”), the portion of any such Taxes that are treated as Pre-Closing Taxes for purposes of this Agreement shall be:

(a)     in the case of Taxes based upon, or related to, income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount which would be payable if the taxable year ended with the Closing Date; and

(b)     in the case of other Taxes, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire period, provided, however, that such allocation shall not be made to the extent that no such taxes are payable in respect of the period that begins before the Closing Date.

6.5           Contests. The Company and Invisa agree to give written notice to the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative of the receipt of any written notice by UEP, Invisa or any of Invisa's Affiliates which involves the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Litigation, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought by the Company pursuant to this Article 6 (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that failure to comply with this provision shall not affect the Company's right to indemnification hereunder. the Company shall control the contest or resolution of any Tax Claim; provided, however, that the Company shall obtain the prior written consent of the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim or ceasing to defend such claim; and, provided further, that the Controlling Uniroyal Parties shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of their choice for such purpose; the fees and expenses of which separate counsel shall be borne solely by the Controlling Uniroyal Parties.

31
 

6.6           Cooperation and Exchange of Information. The Uniroyal Parties and the Company shall provide each other with such cooperation and information as either of them reasonably may request of the other in filing any Tax Return pursuant to this Article 6 or in connection with any audit or other proceeding in respect of Taxes of UEP. Such cooperation and information shall include providing copies of relevant Tax Returns or portions thereof, together with accompanying schedules, related work papers and documents relating to rulings or other determinations by tax authorities. Each of Uniroyal Parties and the Company shall retain all Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of UEP for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the taxable periods to which such Tax Returns and other documents relate, without regard to extensions except to the extent notified by the other party in writing of such extensions for the respective Tax periods. Prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any Tax Returns, schedules and work papers, records and other documents in its possession relating to Tax matters of UEP for any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date, the Uniroyal Parties or the Company (as the case may be) shall provide the other party with reasonable written notice and offer the other party the opportunity to take custody of such materials.

6.7           Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any indemnification payments pursuant to this Article 6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Consideration Interests by the parties for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

6.8           Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 3.2(i) and this Article 6 shall survive for the full period of all applicable statutes of limitations (giving effect to any waiver, mitigation or extension thereof) plus 60 days.

6.9           Overlap. To the extent that any obligation or responsibility pursuant to Article 7 may overlap with an obligation or responsibility pursuant to this Article 6, the provisions of this Article 6 shall govern.

32
 

 

ARTICLE 7

INDEMNIFICATION

7.1           Indemnification by the Uniroyal Parties. The Controlling Uniroyal Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify and defend the Invisa Indemnitees against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, actions, judgments, interest, awards, penalties, fines, costs or expenses of whatever kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of enforcing any right to indemnification hereunder and the cost of pursuing any insurance providers (collectively, “Losses”), incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon the Invisa Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of any Uniroyal Party contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of them pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by any Uniroyal Party pursuant to this Agreement.

7.2           Indemnification by Invisa. Invisa and the Company shall indemnify and defend the Uniroyal Parties harmless against, and shall hold each of them harmless from and against, and shall pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Uniroyal Parties based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of: (i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Invisa or the Company contained in this Agreement or in any certificate or instrument delivered by or on behalf of Invisa or the Company pursuant to this Agreement; or (ii) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation to be performed by Invisa or the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

7.3           Survival of Representations and Warranties.

(a)     The representations and warranties made by the Uniroyal Parties in this Agreement and in each of the other agreements, certificates and instruments delivered to Invisa or the Company pursuant to or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will expire at the Closing and be of no force and effect thereafter.

(b)     The representations and warranties made by Invisa and the Company shall expire at the Closing and be of no force and effect thereafter.

7.4           Demands. If any Indemnitee believes such Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified by any Indemnitor pursuant to this Article 7 with respect to any demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding, judicial or otherwise, by any third party (such third party demand, assertion, claim, action or proceeding being referred to herein as a “Third Party Claim“), such Indemnitee agrees that, promptly upon its discovery of facts giving rise to a claim for indemnity under the provisions of this Agreement with respect to such Third Party Claim, such Indemnitee will give prompt notice thereof in writing to Invisa and the Company, if the Indemnitee is a Uniroyal Party, or the Uniroyal Parties’ Representative on behalf of the Uniroyal Parties, if the Indemnitee is Invisa. Such notice shall include a formal demand for indemnification under this Agreement. Failure of the Indemnitee to give such notice in a timely manner shall not relieve the Indemnitor from any liability which it may have on account of this Article 7 or otherwise, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced thereby.

33
 

7.5           Right to Contest and Defend. The Indemnitor shall be entitled at its cost and expense to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim for which it has received notice from the Indemnitee under Section 7.4 and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.5, shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel (reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) for such defense; provided that the Indemnitor shall be entitled to control and appoint lead counsel only if (i) the claim involves (and continues to involve) solely monetary damages, (ii) the Indemnitor expressly agrees in writing to the Indemnitee that, as between the two, the Indemnitor is solely obligated to satisfy and discharge the claim and (iii) the Indemnitor makes reasonably adequate provision to satisfy the Indemnitee of the Indemnitor’s ability to satisfy and discharge the claim (the foregoing collectively, the “Litigation Conditions“); provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall forfeit the right to control the defense or settlement of any such claim if, at any time after assuming the defense or settlement thereof, the Indemnitor no longer satisfies the Litigation Conditions; provided, further, that notice of the intention to so control the defense shall be delivered by the Indemnitor to the Indemnitee within sixty (60) days (or sooner, if the nature of the third party claim so requires) from the date of receipt by the Indemnitor of notice by the Indemnitee of the assertion of the Third Party Claim. Any such contest may be conducted in the name and on behalf of the Indemnitor or the Indemnitee, as may be appropriate. Such contest shall be conducted by reputable counsel employed by the Indemnitor, but the Indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to participate in such proceedings and to be represented by counsel of its own choosing at its sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the election by the Indemnitor to assume the defense, the Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnitee, if and only to the extent that (i) the Indemnitor has not employed counsel to assume the defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, (ii) the employment of counsel and the amount reimbursable therefor by the Indemnitee has been authorized in writing by the Indemnitor or (iii) representation of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee by the same counsel would, in the reasonable opinion of such counsel, constitute a conflict of interest under applicable standards of professional conduct. The Indemnitor shall have full authority to determine all action to be taken with respect to a Third Party Claim the defense of which it has assumed in accordance with this Section 7.5; provided, however, that the Indemnitor will not have the authority to subject the Indemnitee to any non-monetary relief whatsoever, other than the performance of purely ministerial tasks, and any settlement of a claim must include a full release of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not elect to assume the control of the defense of any such Third Party Claim, fails to notify the Indemnitee of its election as herein provided or fails to satisfy the Litigation Conditions, the Indemnitee may pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnitee shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitor (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of such Third Party Claim.

34
 

7.6           Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any claim, assertion, event or proceeding in respect of Taxes of UEP (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 3.2(i) or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article 6) shall be governed exclusively by Article 6 hereof.

7.7          Cooperation. The Indemnitor and the Indemnitee agree to cooperate with each other and their respective counsel in contesting any Third Party Claim or, if appropriate, in making any counterclaim against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any other Person, including giving each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto, subject to receipt of a reasonable confidentiality agreement. The Indemnitor shall be obliged to reimburse the Indemnitee for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to such cooperation.

7.8          Indemnity Matters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the amount of any indemnification payable under this Article 7 shall be limited to the amount of any Losses that remains after deducting therefrom any insurance proceeds and any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment received or reasonably expected to be received by the Indemnitee in respect of any such claim. The parties hereto agree that in seeking indemnification payable under this Article 7, each such party shall (i) exercise good faith in not taking any action, or omitting to take any action, that would jeopardize or prejudice the interests of an Indemnitee and (ii) use reasonable best efforts to pursue all rights and remedies of an Indemnitee under any insurance policy or any other obligation of indemnification in its favor.

The grant of authority provided for in this Section 8.1 is coupled with an interest and is being granted, in part, as an inducement to Invisa and the Company to enter into this Agreement and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetency, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Uniroyal Party and shall be binding on any successor thereto.

8.2          Compensation; Exculpation; Indemnity; Resignation.

(a)     The Uniroyal Parties’ Representative shall not be entitled to any fee, commission or other compensation for the performance of his service hereunder.
