20


 

adjustments shown in the Preliminary Report have been accounted for in calculating the P1 Cash Consideration (and as a result the Cash Consideration) shown in Sections 2.5(a) and 2.6(b) above.
                    (d) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser 1 shall deliver to Seller a report with respect to the Sale Business (the “P1 Final Report”), showing in detail the final determination of any adjustments which were not calculated as of the Closing and containing any corrections to the Preliminary Report, together with documents substantiating the final calculation of the adjustments proposed in the Final Report. If Seller shall conclude that the Final Report does not accurately reflect the adjustments and prorations to be made to the P1 Cash Consideration (and as a result the Cash Consideration) in accordance with this Section 2.6, Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after its receipt of the Final Report, provide to Purchaser 1 its written statement of any discrepancies believed to exist. Purchaser 1 and Seller shall use good faith efforts to jointly resolve the discrepancies within thirty (30) days of such Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s written statement of discrepancies, which resolution, if achieved, shall be binding upon all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or judicial review.

The parties agree that the foregoing independent public accounting firm shall not be one that is regularly engaged by Purchaser 1 or Seller. Such firm shall report its conclusions as to adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.6, which shall be conclusive on all parties to this Agreement and not subject to dispute or judicial review. The conclusion of such firm with respect to each discrepancy shall be within the range established for such item by the Final Report and Seller’s discrepancy statement. If Purchaser 1 or Seller is determined to owe an amount to the other pursuant to this Section 2.6(d), the appropriate party shall pay such amount thereof to the other within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such determination and such payment shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price of the Transferred Assets. The cost of retaining such independent public accounting firm shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser 1.
                    (e) Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Purchaser 2 shall deliver to Seller a report with respect to the Sale Business (the “P2 Final Report”), showing in detail the final determination of any adjustments which were not calculated as of the Closing and containing any corrections to the Preliminary Report, together with documents substantiating the final calculation of the adjustments proposed in the Final Report.

               (a) For a period from the date hereof until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries and successors (including successors of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries or any assignee or purchaser of the Atlas Product Line or any material portion thereof) not to engage in a Restricted Business; provided, however, that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.1(a) shall not restrict the acquisition by Seller, directly or indirectly, of less than 2% of the outstanding capital stock of any publicly traded company engaged in a Restricted Business. The parties hereto specifically acknowledge and agree that the remedy at law for any breach of the foregoing will be inadequate and that each Purchaser, in addition to any other relief available to it, shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damage or posting any bond whatsoever.
               (b) For a period from the date hereof to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries and, with respect to clause (i) below, successors (including successors of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of any Qualifying Assets retained by Seller and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) and their respective employees not to: (i) cause, solicit, induce or encourage any Transferred Employees to leave employment with the Sale Business (other than through general advertising or other general solicitation not targeted to the Transferred Employees) or hire, employ or otherwise engage any such individual; provided, however, in respect of successors, those Transferred Employees in respect of whom the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.1(b) apply shall be limited to those listed on Schedule 5.1(b); or (ii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Sale Business (including any existing or former customer of Seller or its Subsidiaries of the Sale Business) or any other Person who has a material business relationship with the Sale Business, to terminate or modify any such actual relationship; provided, however, the restrictions set forth in connection with clause (ii) shall apply to those entities listed in Schedule 1.1(c) to the extent such entities are successors to assets, other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices, of the Seller and its Subsidiaries.
               (c) For a period from the date hereof until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not and shall cause its Subsidiaries, Affiliates and successors (including successors of Seller or any of its Subsidiaries of any businesses retained by Seller and its Subsidiaries after the Closing Date) and their respective officers and directors in each case to whom such information is disclosed not to, directly or indirectly, disclose, reveal, divulge or communicate to any Person other than authorized officers, directors and employees of such Purchaser or use or otherwise exploit for its own benefit or for the benefit of anyone other than such Purchaser, any Confidential Information (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller or any of its Subsidiaries receives a request or is required (by deposition, oral questions, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, governmental investigative demand or other legal or regulatory process) to disclose all or any part of the Confidential Information, Seller shall (i) promptly notify each Purchaser of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such a request, (ii) consult with each Purchaser on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request, and (iii) cooperate with such Purchaser’s efforts to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or if such Purchaser waives compliance with the provisions hereof in writing, Seller may disclose only that portion of Confidential Information that it is advised by counsel is required, by Applicable Law, to be disclosed, and shall cooperate with such Purchaser’s efforts

49


 

to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. For purposes of this Section 5.1(c), “Confidential Information” means any information with respect to the Sale Business, including methods of operation, customers, customer lists, products, prices, fees, costs, Technology, inventions, Trade Secrets, know-how, Software, marketing methods, plans, personnel, suppliers, competitors, markets or other specialized information or proprietary matters. Confidential Information does not include, and there shall be no obligation hereunder with respect to, information that (i) is generally available to the public on the date of this Agreement or (ii) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure not otherwise permissible hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, Confidential Information shall not include the filing of this Agreement and the related transaction documents or a summary thereof with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
               (d) The covenants and undertakings contained in this Section 5.1 relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of this Section 5.1 will cause irreparable injury to such Purchaser, the amount of which will be impossible to estimate or determine and which cannot be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of this Section 5.1 will be inadequate. Therefore, such Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Section 5.1 without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 5.1 are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies which such Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity.
               (e) The parties hereto agree that, if any court of competent jurisdiction in a final nonappealable judgment determines that a specified time period, a specified geographical area, a specified business limitation or any other relevant feature of this Section 5.1 is unreasonable, arbitrary or against public policy, then a lesser time period, geographical area, business limitation or other relevant feature which is determined by such court to be reasonable, not arbitrary and not against public policy may be enforced against the applicable party.
          Section 5.2 Specific Performance for Necessary Assets. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.19(b) and (c) relate to matters which are of a special, unique and extraordinary character and a violation of any of the terms of Sections 3.19(b) and (c) will cause irreparable injury to Purchasers, the amount of which may be impossible to estimate or determine and which may not be adequately compensated. Accordingly, the remedy at law for any breach of Sections 3.19(b) and (c) may be inadequate. Therefore, each Purchaser will be entitled to an injunction, restraining order or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of this Sections 3.19(b) and (c) without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond whatsoever. The rights and remedies provided by this Section 5.2 are cumulative, nonexclusive and in addition to any other rights and remedies which such Purchaser may have hereunder or at law or in equity. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to filing any such request for specific performance with any court Purchaser shall notify Seller of such alleged breach and negotiate in good faith a transfer of the alleged necessary asset.
          Section 5.3 Excluded Returns and Warranties. Each Purchaser (as applicable) shall provide reasonable notice to Seller of all returns of Seller Products from distributors prior

50


 

to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and all warranty claims, in each case on Seller Products shipped or delivered on or before the Closing Date and shall provide Seller with a reasonable opportunity to approve any such return or warranty claim which it shall be obligated to do absent a reasonable and good faith dispute as to whether such return or warranty claim is permitted under the original terms of sale; provided, however, that if Seller shall fail to respond within ten (10) Business Days following the receipt of such notice from a Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have approved of such return or claim.
          Section 5.4 Seller Possession of Transferred Assets. For as long as any Transferred Assets remain in the possession of Seller or its Subsidiaries, Seller shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, hold the Transferred Assets in complete confidence and protect such Transferred Assets from harm or damage, exercising at least the same degree of care used to protect and restrict disclosure and use of the Seller’s own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature, but at least a reasonable degree of care.

               (a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE VIII, Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse each of the Purchasers, Purchasers’ Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, partners, agents, attorneys, representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) for all losses, liabilities, claims, obligations, deficiencies, demands, judgments, damages (including incidental and consequential damages), interest, fines, penalties, claims, suits, actions, causes of action, assessments, awards, costs and expenses (including costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees), or any diminution in value, whether or not involving a third party claim (collectively, “Damages”), based upon, attributable to, arising out of or resulting from:
                    (i) the failure of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in this Agreement or in any Seller Document to be true and correct in all respects at and as of the date hereof;
                    (ii) the breach of any covenant or other agreement on the part of Seller under this Agreement or in any Seller Document;
                    (iii) any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability;
                    (iv) (A) any employment-related liability (statutory or otherwise) with respect to employment or termination of employment of any Business Employee on or prior to the Closing Date (including liability for severance benefits related to termination by Seller) or (B) any liability relating to, arising under or in

54


 

connection with any U.S. Employee Benefit Plan of Seller or its Affiliates, including any liability under COBRA, whether arising prior to, on or after the Closing Date; and
                    (v) any Third Party Claim (as defined below) arising out of or resulting from clauses (i) through (iv) above.
          Section 8.2 Procedure for Third Party Claims.
               (a) A claim for indemnification for any matter not involving a Third Party Claim may be asserted by notice to Seller; provided, however, that (except as set forth in Section 8.3 below) failure to so notify the Seller shall not preclude the Indemnified Party from any indemnification which it may claim in accordance with this Article VIII.
               (b) In the event that any Proceedings shall be instituted or that any claim or demand, other than a claim, demand or Proceeding in respect of tax matters, which shall be governed by Section 8.2(c), shall be asserted by any third party in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 8.1(a) hereof (regardless of the limitations set forth in Section 8.3) (“Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of any Third Party Claim of which it has Knowledge which is covered by this indemnity to be forwarded to the Seller. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give reasonably prompt notice of any Third Party Claim shall not release, waive or otherwise affect the Seller’s obligations with respect thereto except to the extent that Seller can demonstrate actual loss and prejudice as a result of such failure. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8.2, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to be represented by counsel of its choice and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified against by Seller hereunder. If the Indemnified Party elects to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified against by Seller hereunder, it shall within five (5) days of the Indemnified Party’s written notice of the assertion of such Third Party Claim (or sooner, if the nature of the Third Party Claim so requires) notify Seller of its intent to do so. In the event that Seller has not explicitly consented to any settlement of a Third Party Claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any such settlement of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnified Party shall not be determinative of the existence of or amount of Damages relating to such claim. If the Indemnified Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Third Party Claim which relates to any Damages indemnified against by Seller hereunder, Seller may defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party defends any Third Party Claim, then Seller shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of defending such Third Party Claim upon submission of periodic bills. If Seller shall assume the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in any such defense with separate counsel at the expense of Seller if (i) so requested by Seller to participate or (ii) in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and Seller that would make such separate representation advisable; and provided, further, that Seller shall not be required to pay for more than one such counsel (plus any appropriate local counsel) for all indemnified parties in connection with any Third Party

55


 

Claim. Each party hereto agrees to provide reasonable access to each other party to such documents and information as may reasonably by requested in connection with the defense, negotiation or settlement of any such Third Party Claim. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.2 to the contrary, neither the Indemnified Party nor Seller shall, without the written consent of the other party, settle or compromise any Third Party Claim or permit a default or consent to entry of any judgment unless the claimant (or claimants) provide to such other party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of the Third Party Claim.
          (c) With respect to any Taxes for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(iii), the Seller shall, at its option, have full and exclusive authority to defend, adjust, compromise or settle any Third Party Claim in respect of such Taxes, including audits and other tax-related disputes, with any such compromise or settlement subject to the written approval of the Indemnified Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
          (d) With respect to any Third Party Claim subject to indemnification under this ARTICLE VIII, the parties shall cooperate in such a manner as to preserve in full (to the extent practicable) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that: (i) it will use reasonable efforts, in respect of any Third Party Claim in which it has assumed or has participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information of the other party (consistent with Applicable Law and rules of procedure), and (ii) all communications between any parties hereto and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third Party Claim will, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve an applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.
     Section 8.3 Claims Period; Limitation on Indemnification.
          (a) Survival. The representations and warranties of the Seller contained in this Agreement, any certificate delivered pursuant hereto or any Seller Document shall survive the Closing through and including the first anniversary of the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 3.2 (Corporate Authorization) and Section 3.19(b) and (c) (Assets Other than Real Property Interests; Sufficiency) shall survive the Closing indefinitely (in each case, the “Survival Period”) ; provided, further, that the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 3.12 (Taxes) shall survive ninety (90) days following the applicable statute of limitations; provided, further, that any obligations under Section 8.1(a) shall not terminate with respect to any Damages as to which the Indemnified Party shall have given notice to Seller in accordance with Section 8.2 before the termination of the applicable Survival Period.
          (b) Cap. Except with respect to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, and the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 3.2 (Corporate Authorization) and Sections 3.19(b) and (c) (Assets Other than Real Property Interests; Sufficiency), Seller’s aggregate indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(i), and to the extent it relates to Section 8.1(a)(i), Section 8.1(a)(v), shall not exceed the Escrow Amount.
          (c) Tipping Basket. Seller shall not have any liability under Section 8.1(a)(i) and, to the extent it relates to Sections 8.1(a)(i), Section 8.1(a)(v) hereof, unless the

56


 

aggregate amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnified Parties and indemnifiable thereunder based upon, attributable to or resulting from the failure of any of the representations or warranties to be true and correct exceeds $310,000 (the “Indemnification Basket”) and, in such event, Seller shall be required to pay the entire amount of all such Damages; provided that the Indemnification Basket limitation shall not apply to Damages related to fraud, intentional misrepresentation, and the failure to be true and correct of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2 (Corporate Authorization) and Sections 3.19(b) and (c) (Assets Other than Real Property Interests; Sufficiency).
          (d) No Implied Waiver. The right to indemnification or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Seller in this Agreement or any Seller Document shall not be affected by any investigation conducted by any Purchaser at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) by Purchaser at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement. The waiver by a Purchaser of any condition based on the accuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller, or on the performance of or compliance with such covenant or agreements of Seller, will not affect such Purchaser’s right to indemnification or any other remedy based on such representations, warranties, covenants and agreements.
     Section 8.4 Additional Limitations on Indemnification. The parties hereto agree that with respect to each indemnification obligation in this Agreement, all Damages shall be net of (a) any insurance proceeds (minus the premium costs of such insurance) which have been recovered by the Indemnified Party in connection with the facts giving rise to the right of indemnification under this Agreement and (b) any Tax benefit arising from such Damages actually received in the year of such Damages by the Indemnified Party minus all costs and expenses associated with obtaining such Tax benefit. The parties hereto agree that Seller shall have no indemnification obligation for any Damages to any Indemnified Party to the extent they are duplicative of Damages to any other Indemnified Party that is an Affiliate of such Indemnified Party or that they have already recovered under another provision of this Agreement.
     Section 8.5 Exceptions to Exclusive Remedy. The parties hereto agree that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or impair the obligations of any party hereto under Applicable Law for Damages arising out of fraud, intentional misrepresentation by such party, violations of Section 5.1 and any Excluded Asset or any Excluded Liability.
     Section 8.6 Duty to Mitigate Damages. The parties hereto agree that nothing in this Agreement shall limit or impair the obligations (if any) of any party hereto under Applicable Law or equitable principles to mitigate the Damages otherwise subject to indemnification under this Agreement.
     Section 8.7 Tax Effect of Indemnification Payments. All indemnity payments made by Seller to the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Total Consideration.

57


 

     Section 8.8 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 8.5, the right to obtain indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII shall be the Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy against Seller for any breach by Seller of the terms of this Agreement, or any other claim or cause of action against any Seller, whether in contract, tort, under statute or otherwise arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.

     Section 9.12 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
     Section 9.13 Specific Performance. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to Purchasers and that such Purchaser will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, including Seller’s obligation to sell the Transferred Assets to the applicable Purchaser, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.
