Buyer represents and warrants to the Company and each Shareholder, to the best of its knowledge, as follows:

 

(a) Through the date of this Agreement, and for a period of two years prior thereto, Buyer has filed on a timely basis all Tax Returns that the Buyer was required to file. All such Tax Returns were correct and complete in all respects and have been prepared and completed in accordance with applicable law, including all and were prepared in accordance with the applicable statutes, rules and regulations. No such Tax Returns are currently the subject of audit or examination nor has the Buyer been notified in writing, or otherwise, of any request for an audit or examination. All Taxes owed by the Buyer (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) were paid in full when due or are being contested in good faith and are supported by adequate reserves on the Financial Statements. The Buyer has provided adequate reserves on its Financial Statements for the payment of any Taxes accrued but not yet due and payable. The Buyer is not currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return, and the Buyer has not waived any statute of limitations in respect of Taxes or agreed to any extension of time with respect to any Tax assessment or deficiency. The Buyer has duly and timely withheld from employee salaries, or wages or other compensation (whether or not paid in cash) and other amounts paid to creditors, independent contractors and other third parties and paid over to the appropriate governmental authority all amounts required to be so withheld and paid over for all periods under all applicable Tax or other laws. No amounts have been or would be required to be withheld with respect to the lapse of restrictions on the Shares. The Tax Returns of the Buyer do not contain a disclosure under Section 6662 of the Code (or any predecessor provision or comparable provision of state, local or foreign law). The Buyer does not do business in or derive income from any state, local or foreign jurisdiction other than those jurisdictions for which Tax Returns have been duly filed by the Buyer.

 

(b) There is no dispute, claim or proposed adjustment concerning any Tax liability of the Buyer either (1) claimed or raised by any authority in writing or (2) based upon personal contact with any agent of such authority. The Buyer is not a party to nor has it been notified in writing or, otherwise, that it is the subject of any pending, proposed or threatened action, investigation, proceeding, audit, claim or assessment by or before the IRS or any other governmental authority, and no claim for assessment, deficiency or collection of Taxes, or proposed assessment, deficiency or collection from the IRS or any other governmental authority which has not been satisfied, nor does the Buyer have any reason to believe that any such notice will be received in the future. The IRS has never audited any Tax Return of the Buyer. There are no Tax liens of any kind upon any property or assets of the Buyer, except for inchoate liens for Taxes not yet due and payable.

 

4.10 Securities Representations

 

Buyer (i) is aware of the Company’s business affairs and financial condition, has reviewed the most recent financial statements of Company; and (ii) has acquired sufficient information about Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable decision to acquire the Shares. Buyer has been furnished with all information which Buyer deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares, and Buyer has had the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the Shares and the Company from the officers and directors of the Company, and to obtain any additional information concerning the Shares or the Company necessary to verify the accuracy of the information furnished or made available to Buyer in connection herewith. Buyer is able to bear the economic risk of such investment in the Shares. Buyer is purchasing the Shares for investment and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any "distribution" thereof within the meaning of the Act. Buyer understands that the Shares have not been registered under the Act

 

4.11	Full Disclosure

Buyer has not made any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements made or information delivered in or pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any Financial Statements, the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto, or in or pursuant to closing certificates executed or delivered by Buyer not misleading.

 

4.12	Tax Consequences

 

Buyer does not make any representation or warranty with respect to, and expressly disclaims any responsibility for, any Tax consequences to the Shareholders arising out of the structure or terms of this Agreement, or the negotiation or consummation hereof. Each Shareholder shall be solely responsible for any such Tax consequences.

As used herein, "Competitive Business" shall mean any business that competes with the Company or the Buyer in the United States, including, without limitation, any business that provides geographic and land information systems, software, services or data.

 

 

(b) During the Non-Compete Period, neither the Shareholder nor any of its affiliates shall, directly or indirectly, hire, or solicit or encourage to leave the employment of the Company, Buyer or any of their affiliates, or any former employee of the Company hired by Buyer, the Company or their affiliates, or have any arrangement (financial, consulting or otherwise) with any such individual.

The covenants in this Section 5.7 are severable and separate, and the unenforceability of any specific covenant shall not affect the continuing validity and enforceability of any other covenant. In the event any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that the scope, time or territorial restrictions set forth in this Section 5.7 are unreasonable and therefore unenforceable, then it is the intention of the parties that such restrictions be enforced to the fullest extent that the court deems reasonable and this Agreement shall thereby be reformed.

10.4	Procedure for Indemnification

 

10.4.1 Claim Notice

 

The Shareholder Indemnified Parties together with Buyer Indemnified Parties, are sometimes referred to herein as the "Indemnified Parties" In the event that any Indemnified Party sustains or incurs any Losses in respect of which indemnification may be sought pursuant to this Article X, such Indemnified Party may assert a claim for indemnification by giving written notice (the "Claim Notice") to the indemnifying party, which will describe in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances on which the asserted claim for indemnification is based. The Claim Notice will also specify how the Indemnified Party intends to recover such funds pursuant to this Agreement. Unless the claim described in the Claim Notice is contested by the indemnifying party by written notice to the Indemnified Party of the amount of the claim that is contested, given within 30 days of the receipt of the Claim Notice, the Indemnified Party may recover such undisputed amount of the claim described in the Claim Notice.

 

 

10.4.2 Dispute Notice

 

If, within thirty (30) days of the receipt by the indemnifying party of the Claim Notice, the indemnifying party contests in writing to the Indemnified Party that such Loss constitutes an indemnifiable claim (the "Dispute Notice"), then the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party, acting in good faith, shall attempt to reach agreement with respect to such claim. If the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party.

 

10.4.3 Third-Party Claims

 

With respect to claims for indemnification resulting from or in connection with any legal proceeding commenced by a third party, the Indemnified Party will give the Claim Notice to the indemnifying party no later than ten (10) days prior to the time any initial answer or response to the asserted claim is legally required under any applicable court or procedural rule. Nothing in this Section 10.4.3 limits in any way the right of the Indemnified Party to defend against any claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling the claim or litigation (after giving notice of the same to the indemnifying party) on such terms as the Indemnified Party may in good faith deem appropriate (provided, however, that no such settlement shall occur without the indemnifying party's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld). The indemnifying party will, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.3, promptly indemnify the Indemnified Party in accordance with the provisions of this Article X and the Escrow Agreement.

 

10.5	Investigations; Waivers

 

An Indemnified Party's right to indemnification provided for in this Article X will remain in effect notwithstanding any investigation at any time by or on behalf of any party or any waiver by any party of any condition to such party's obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

10.6 Post Closing Adjustments

 

In the event that the undisclosed liabilities of the Company as of Closing exceed $50,000 (whether such liabilities are discovered prior to Closing or post Closing at anytime during the survival period set forth in Section 10.1) (the total amount of such liabilities being referred to herein as the "Excess Liabilities"), then the Buyer shall deduct, pro-rata, from the Post Closing Payment that number of shares of Stock having a fair market value, determined by the average closing price per share of the Stock for the five (5) days prior to the date Excess Liabilities are discovered, equal to the dollar amount of the Excess Liabilities. In the event the Post Closing Payment has already been made then, within 10 days after receiving written notice from Buyer concerning the Excess Liabilities, the Shareholders shall obligated, pro-rata, to surrender for cancellation and shall deliver to Buyer certificates for the Stock, duly endorsed in favor of Buyer, having a fair market value, determined by the average closing price per share of the Stock for the five (5) days prior to the date Excess Liabilities are discovered, equal to the dollar amount of the Excess Liabilities. In the event there are Excess Liabilities and the Shareholders fail to surrender or are unable to surrender the Stock required hereby, the Shareholders, pro-rata, shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the Excess Liabilities less the value of any Stock surrendered pursuant to the terms of this section 10.6.
