If the Buyer fails to give notice to the Seller Parties of an Objection within the Inspection Period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have no objection to the matters disclosed in the Title Evidence as of the end of the Inspection Period, and all such matters shall be Permitted Encumbrances. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Material Title Defect appears for the first time in a survey or title continuation report issued after the expiration of the Inspection Period and if such Material Title Defect is not a Section 4.1(b)(iii) Lien, the Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days after the Buyer acquires knowledge of such Material Title Defect to give notice to the Seller Parties of an Objection in respect of such Material Title Defect and the provisions of this Section 4 shall apply in determining whether such Material Title Defect is a Permitted Encumbrance as if the Buyer had delivered an Objection Notice with respect thereto prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. “Permitted Encumbrances” shall mean: (i) current Taxes or other governmental charges or assessments not yet due and payable; (ii) the rights of the tenants in possession under the existing leases described on Schedule 6.7(a)(ii) accepted by Buyer, (iii) easements, covenants, conditions and restrictions of record which do not prevent, prohibit or materially interfere with, hinder or impair the current use and operation of the Real Property or materially and adversely affect the value and title of the Real Property; (v) building, zoning and land use laws, ordinances and regulations applicable to and permitting the current use and operation of the Real Property; and (v) such other matters disclosed by the Title Evidence and not objected to by Buyer as a Material Title Defect in accordance this Section 4.1( b)(ii).

The removal of all such matters by the Seller Parties, at or prior to Closing, shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder.

(c) The Seller Parties may elect to cure or not to cure any and all Objections, provided the Seller Parties shall notify the Buyer of their election by written notice (the “Election Notice”) no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Objection Notice (the “Election Term”). Failure by the Seller Parties to deliver an Election Notice shall be deemed an election not to cure the Objections. If the Seller Parties elect (or are deemed to have elected) not to cure the Objections, the Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days from the receipt of the Election Notice or the expiration of the Election Term, as the case may be, to elect, as its sole remedy, either (x) to waive the Objections and proceed to Closing, in which case the matters not cured by the Seller Parties shall be Permitted Encumbrances, or (y) elect not to purchase the Shares, whereupon this Agreement will automatically terminate without further liability from the Seller Parties to the Buyer except for the provisions which expressly survive the termination hereof and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer. If the Buyer does not notify the Seller Parties of its election during the five (5) Business Day period set forth above, the Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive the Objection and proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (x).

(d) The Owner’s Policy issued and delivered to the Buyer at Closing shall have all standard and general exceptions deleted so as to afford full “extended form coverage” if and as permitted by applicable title insurance regulations and shall contain such endorsements as Buyer shall reasonably require and are available under applicable title insurance regulations. Buyer shall pay all premiums, costs and expenses of the Owner’s Policy and any endorsements required by Buyer.

(e) If, after expiration of the Inspection Period, any of the Real Property are encumbered by any liens or encumbrances that cannot be paid off or satisfied at or prior to Closing by the payment of money and cancelled of record in the Registry (it being understood that the Seller Parties shall be required to pay and satisfy and cancel of record all such monetary liens and encumbrances), and if such liens or encumbrances are

(g) Schedule 4.1(g) sets forth all notes or notices of violations of law, or municipal ordinances, orders, designations or requirements whatsoever noted in or issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Facilities, in each case, which are not capable of being cured by the payment of money (such non-monetary matters being referred to, collectively, as “Violations”). Subject to Article 6 and Buyer’s rights under Section 2.2, and provided the same do not constitute a Material Title Objection as to which Buyer has provided an Objection Notice, the Buyer agrees to purchase the Facilities subject to the Violations and that the Seller Parties shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any of the aforementioned Violations.

(h) At or prior to Closing, the Seller Parties shall be required to pay or satisfy all notes or notices of violations of law, county or municipal ordinances, orders, designations or requirements whatsoever noted in or issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Facilities, in each case, which are capable of being cured by the payment of money, together with any and all fines, penalties and interest levied thereon (such matters being referred to herein, collectively, as “Monetary Violations”).

The fees and expenses of the Selected Accounting Firm will be borne by Seller Parties and Buyer in the percentage inversely proportionate to the percentage of the total amount of the total items submitted for dispute that are resolved in such party’s favor, or determined by the Selected Accounting Firm. The decision of the Selected Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Buyer shall file or cause to be filed, within the time and in the manner required by applicable Law, such Tax Returns and pay or cause to be paid all Taxes due and owing with respect to such Tax Returns, provided however that to the extent amounts owed are in excess of amounts included in the final determination of Closing Working Capital with respect to federal income Taxes, such excess amount shall be an Excluded Liability.

(ii) Buyer shall prepare or cause to be prepared all Tax Returns of or with respect to each Target Entity that are required to be filed for 2013; provided that Buyer shall deliver any such Tax Return to Seller Parties in the form proposed for filing at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date thereof for review and approval by Seller Parties, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller Parties shall notify Buyer of any requested changes to such returns within seven (7) Business Days of Seller Parties’ receipt thereof. If Buyer objects to Seller Parties’ requested changes, Buyer and Seller Parties will have five (5) Business Days to resolve such dispute prior to submitting the disputed portion of such return to the Selected Accounting Firm for binding resolution prior to filing such Tax Return. The Selected Accounting Firm will promptly review only those items and amounts specifically set forth in the requested change(s) and resolve the dispute with respect to each requested change. The fees and expenses of the Selected Accounting Firm will be borne by Seller Parties and Buyer in the percentage inversely proportionate to the percentage of the total amount of the total items submitted for dispute that are resolved in such party’s favor, or determined by the Selected Accounting Firm. The decision of the Selected Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. Buyer shall file or cause to be filed, within the time and in the manner required by applicable Law, such Tax Returns and pay or cause to be paid all Taxes due and owing with respect to such Tax Returns, provided however that to the extent amounts owed are in excess of amounts included in the final determination of Closing Working Capital with respect to federal income Taxes, such excess amount shall be an Excluded Liability.

 

36


(d) “Straddle Period” means a Taxable Period that includes, but does not end on, the Closing Date. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of any such Tax that is allocable to the portion of such Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount which could be payable if the Taxable Period ended on the Closing Date and the parties shall elect to do so if permitted by applicable Law; and

(ii) in the case of Taxes imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets of the Target Entities, or otherwise measured by the level of any item, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding Taxable Period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(e) For Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law, the parties agree to treat all payments made under any indemnity provisions contained in this Agreement, and any payments in respect of any breaches of representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, as adjustments to the Purchase Price.

(f) Buyer and Seller Parties agree that the Target Entities shall become a member of the federal income consolidated tax group of which an affiliate of Buyer is the common parent on the day after the Closing Date.

(g) Buyer and Seller Parties agree that prior to Buyer’s making any Tax election under the Code or under the PR Code that would reasonably be expected to result in an additional Tax liability on any Seller Party, Buyer will provide written notice of such election to the Seller Parties. After such notice has been provided, the Seller Parties and Buyer shall have thirty (30) days to reasonably in good faith determine the amount in additional Taxes that the Buyer’s election will have on the Seller Parties, but for that election (the “Additional Tax Liability Amount”). If the Seller Parties and the Buyer cannot agree on the Additional Tax Liability Amount, the determination of the same shall be submitted to the Selected Accounting Firm for binding resolution prior to Buyer making any Tax election, pursuant to the procedure established in Section 10.5(c)(1). Buyer may either (i) covenant in writing to pay the Seller Parties the Additional Tax Liability Amount in immediately available funds prior to the date such Taxes become due, or (ii) Buyer may, in its sole discretion, decide not to make such Tax election.

With the assistance and cooperation of Seller Parties set forth above, Buyer shall give any required notices to, make any required filings with, and use its best efforts to obtain the required Governmental Authorizations. To the extent that Seller Parties and Buyer have not obtained all necessary Governmental Authorizations and consents or approvals from any private third-party in accordance with this Section 10.6 as of the Closing and Buyer nonetheless elects to close, then upon request by Buyer, Seller Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) cooperate with Buyer in any reasonable and lawful arrangements under which Buyer would obtain the benefit of the matter concerned; and (b) enforce for the account of Buyer any rights

 

37


of Seller Parties arising from the matter concerned at Buyer’s expense. If any Governmental Authorization or other authorization, consent or approval cannot be obtained, Buyer and Seller Parties will cooperate in any legal and commercially reasonable arrangement to obviate the need for that license or other authorization, consent or approval. Seller Parties and Buyer will use commercially reasonable efforts to make their own filing, and to assist one another in making the others’ filing, of a pre-merger notification report form pursuant to the HSR Act no later than five (5) Business Days from the date hereof. Seller Parties and Buyer will share equally all filing fees under the HSR Act with respect to the Contemplated Transactions.

Each party shall promptly notify the other of any action, suit or proceeding that shall be instituted or threatened against such party to restrain, prohibit or otherwise challenge the legality of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement. No disclosure by any party under this Section 10.7 shall be deemed to amend or to supplement the schedules to this agreement or to prevent or cure any misrepresentation, breach of warranty, breach of covenant, or any failure to satisfy a Closing condition. Each party shall use reasonable commercial efforts to promptly advise the other parties of the status and progress of such party in obtaining any consents or approvals of third parties or Governmental Authorities that are conditions to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

10.8 Affirmative Covenants of Seller Parties. From the date hereof to the Closing Date, except as expressly permitted or required by this Agreement or as otherwise consented to by Buyer in writing, Seller Parties will, and will cause the Target Entities to:

The Non-Compete Persons further agree that the nature, kind and character of the Prohibited Activities are reasonably necessary to protect the interests of Buyer and its affiliates.

(c) If a judicial determination is made that any of the provisions of this Section 10.10 constitute an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against any Non-Compete Person, the provisions of this Section 10.10 shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial determination finds such provisions to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable and only with respect to such Non-Compete Person. Any judicial authority construing this Section 10.10 shall be empowered to sever any portion of the Restricted Territory or Prohibited Activities from the coverage of this Agreement and to apply the provisions of this Section 10.10 to the remaining portion of the territory or the remaining activities not so severed by such judicial authority.

(d) The Non-Compete Persons agree that any violation of this Section 10.10 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer, that a remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of the covenants contained herein will be inadequate and that in the event of any such breach, Buyer, in addition to any other remedies or damages available to Buyer at law or in equity, shall be entitled to temporary injunctive relief before trial from any court of competent jurisdiction as a matter of course and to permanent injunctive relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or securing or posting any bond.

10.15 Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) The Purchase Price is based, in part, on the Target Entities having an aggregate Working Capital of Three Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,600,000.00) at the Effective Time (the “Working Capital Target”). Accordingly, the Purchase Price is subject to adjustment pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Section 10.15 if, as of the Closing Date, the aggregate Working Capital of the Target Entities is greater or less than the Working Capital Target. Schedule 10.15 sets forth an example calculation of the Target Entities’ Working Capital as of the Balance Sheet Date.

(b) Not later than five (5) Business Days before the Closing Date, Seller Parties shall deliver to Buyer its good faith estimate of the (i) difference between the Working Capital of the Target Entities as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”) and the Working Capital Target (such difference, the “WC Adjustment at Closing”), and (ii) the Progress Payments.

(c) Within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to the Seller Parties its good faith determination setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the Working Capital of the Target Entities as of the Closing Date (the “Buyer’s Working Capital Determination”). The Buyer’s Working Capital Determination shall be accompanied by reasonably detailed schedules setting forth the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination. If Seller Parties agree with the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination, the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination shall be final and binding as the “Closing Working Capital” for purposes of this Agreement and appropriate payments will be made as described in Section 10.15(f) below.

(d) Seller Parties may, within fifteen (15) days after the date of receipt of the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination, deliver to Buyer a written statement setting forth its objections thereto. In the event Seller Parties do not so object within such fifteen (15) day period, the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination shall be final and binding as the Closing Working Capital for purposes of this Agreement. In the event Seller Parties do so object within such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer and Seller Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to resolve, in good-faith, by written agreement (the “Agreed Adjustments”) any differences as to the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination and, in the event Seller and Buyer so resolve any such differences, the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination, in each case as adjusted by the Agreed Adjustments, shall be final and binding as the Closing Working Capital for purposes of this Agreement. In the event any objections raised by Seller Parties are not resolved by Agreed Adjustments within fifteen (15) days after Seller Parties advise Buyer of Seller Parties’ objections, Buyer and Seller Parties shall jointly select an independent auditor of recognized regional standing to resolve any remaining disagreements (the “Selected Accounting Firm”); provided that Crowe Horwath LLP will be the Selected Accounting Firm if Buyer and Seller Parties cannot agree on the selection of such independent auditor. The determination by such Selected Accounting Firm of the Closing Working Capital shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. Buyer and Seller Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to cause the Selected Accounting Firm to make its determination within thirty (30) days of accepting its selection.

(e) The parties shall make available to each other and, if applicable, the Selected Accounting Firm, such books, records and other information (including work papers) as any of the foregoing may reasonably request in order to review the Estimated Closing Working Capital and Buyer’s Working Capital Determination, respectively, or any matters submitted to the Selected Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Selected Accounting Firm shall be borne by Buyer and Seller Parties in proportion to the aggregate amount of all disputed items as to which such party’s claim was unsuccessful (i.e., if there are $100,000 of disputed items and the Selected Accounting Firm determines that Seller Parties’ claim prevails with respect to $25,000 of such disputed items and Buyer’s claim prevails with respect to $75,000 of such disputed items, then Seller Parties would be obligated to pay seventy-five percent (75%) of the fees and expenses and Buyer would be obligated to pay twenty-five percent (25%) of the fees and expenses).

 

41


(f) Within five (5) Business Days after final determination of Closing Working Capital, or Progress Payments, the following shall apply:

a. If the Closing Working Capital exceeds the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such excess, the “Working Capital Excess”), Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days of such determination, pay to Seller Parties by wire transfer of immediately available funds a dollar amount equal to such Working Capital Excess;

b. If the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such deficit, the “Working Capital Shortfall”), then Seller Parties shall within five (5) Business Days of such determination, pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds a dollar amount equal to such Working Capital Shortfall.

c. Any discrepancies between the amount of the actual amounts of actual versus estimated Progress Payments will also be resolved in accordance with Section 10.15(d) above, and the appropriate payment will be made among the parties once resolved.

10.16 CMS 855 Applications. The information provided by the Seller Parties to Buyer for inclusion in the CMS 855 applications, including the attachments and exhibits thereto, will be true and correct in all material respects and will not omit any material fact or statement.

From the date hereof to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to cause the development and construction of the Tampa Project to be diligently prosecuted in a good and workmanlike manner, in accordance with the Contracts, plans and specifications therefore and all applicable laws, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no construction liens or other liens for labor, materials or services provided shall be registered or filed against the Tampa Project or any part of the Real Property on which it is located.

10.19 “Ten Broeck” Name Covenant. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of a hospital license for the Tampa Project, the Buyer shall cause the name of Ten Broeck Tampa, Inc. to be changed so as to remove the “Ten Broeck” name in recognition that the Seller Parties are not transferring to Buyer their rights over the “Ten Broeck” name as part of this Agreement.

11.6 Notice and Procedure.

(a) Any person seeking indemnity under any provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnitor”) as to (i) the nature of any claims, damages, losses or liabilities asserted by or against the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnity hereunder (“Claims”) and (ii) if applicable, the commencement of any suit or proceeding brought to enforce any Claims. The Indemnitor shall assume the defense of any such suit or other proceeding and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, and shall be entitled reasonably to consult with the Indemnitor with respect to such defense; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnitee, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (A) settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which provides for relief other than the payment of monetary damages, (B) settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to the Indemnitee a release from all liability in respect to such claim, or (C) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment which includes an admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnitee.

(b) The Indemnitee, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, shall assist and cooperate with the Indemnitor in the conduct of litigation, the making of settlements and the enforcement of any right of contribution to which the Indemnitee may be entitled from any Person in connection with the subject matter of any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the Indemnitee shall, upon request by the Indemnitor or counsel selected by the Indemnitor and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, attend hearings and trials, assist in the securing and giving of evidence, assist in obtaining the presence or cooperation of witnesses, make available its own personnel, and effect settlements; and shall do whatever else is reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such litigation. The Indemnitee shall not make any demand upon the Indemnitor or counsel for the Indemnitor in connection with any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder, except a general

 

45


demand for indemnification as provided hereunder. The Indemnitee shall not, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment, assume any obligation, incur any expense, or settle or compromise any claim without the express approval of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to join in the defense of any litigation or claim at such Indemnitee’s own cost and expense, and, if the Indemnitee agrees in writing to be bound by and promptly to pay the full amount of any final judgment from which no further appeal may be taken and if the Indemnitor is reasonably assured of the Indemnitee’s ability to satisfy such agreement, then, at the option of the Indemnitee, such Indemnitee may take over the defense of such litigation or claim.

(c) If the Indemnitee shall fail to promptly notify the Indemnitor as to (i) the nature of any Claims or (ii) the commencement of any suit or proceeding brought to enforce any Claims, or if the Indemnitee shall fail to perform its obligations as the Indemnitee hereunder or to cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in the Indemnitor’s defense of any suit or proceeding, then the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of such Claim shall continue, but shall be limited to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Indemnitor in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnitor had it received timely notice from the Indemnitee.

11.7 Right of Set-Off. Any amounts owed among the parties arising from obligations of indemnity pursuant to this Article 11 may be set-off against amounts otherwise owed from one party to the other.

11.8 Disregarding Materiality Exceptions. For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses to which an Indemnitee is entitled under this Article 11 (but not for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached), the terms “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and other qualifiers, modifiers or limitations (including monetary values and qualifiers as to “knowledge” or “Knowledge”) shall be disregarded.

12.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) Upon the termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate except the obligations which expressly survive the termination hereof or as otherwise provided in this Article 12.

(b) If this Agreement shall have been terminated by either party pursuant to Sections 12.1(e) or Section 12.1(f), then the breaching party shall pay the non-breaching an amount equal to $5,000,000 as liquidated damages, plus all of the non-breaching party’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated thereby), including the reasonable fees and expenses of financial advisors, accountants and legal counsel.

The payment of any amounts pursuant to this Section 12.2(b) shall be the sole monetary remedy available.

In the event of a termination by Seller Parties pursuant to Section 12.1(f), Seller Parties may retain the Deposit, and the amount of such Deposit shall be applied towards the damages due from Buyer under this Section 12.2(b).

In lieu of the liquidated damages stipulated under Section 12.2(b) as the sole monetary remedy, the non-breaching party shall be entitled, to obtain specific performance on the terms of this Agreement.

Each of the parties hereto agrees that prior to and subsequent to Closing it will maintain the confidentiality of all such Confidential Information delivered to it by each of the other parties hereto or their agents in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or in compliance with the terms, conditions and covenants hereof and only disclose such Confidential Information to its duly authorized officers, directors, representatives and agents unless (i) compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process (including without limitation in connection with obtaining the necessary approvals of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) or by other requirements of law or (ii) disclosed in an action or proceeding brought by a party hereto in pursuit of its rights or in the exercise of its remedies hereunder; provided, however, that the parties hereto shall not disclose any Confidential Information not required to be disclosed as part of such permitted disclosure. Each of the parties hereto recognizes that any breach of this Section would result in irreparable harm to the other parties to this Agreement and their Affiliates and that therefore either Buyer or Seller Parties shall be entitled to an injunction to prohibit any such breach or anticipated breach, without the necessity of posting a bond, cash or otherwise, in addition to all of their other legal and equitable remedies.

(b) Prior to the Closing Date, neither party shall issue any press release or other public announcement, communications and/or notices concerning this Agreement or transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may issue a press release or other public announcement, communications and/or notices concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement solely to the extent required by law or to comply with accounting or other disclosure obligations, provided, that the disclosing party shall give reasonable prior notice to the other party of any such requirement and/or obligation and shall provide the other party copies of any press release or other public announcement, communications and/or notices.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 10.6 with respect to the HSR Act pre-merger notification report and except for any other filings, reports, notifications or other communications with Governmental Authorities that are necessary for Buyer’s continued operation of the Facilities after the Closing, prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall not file or make any reports, notifications or other communication with any Governmental Authority (unless so required by any law or regulation), including, without limitation, with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, concerning this Agreement or transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Except as otherwise provided herein, (i) Buyer shall pay all costs and premiums associated with the Owner’s Policy, (ii) Seller Parties shall pay the fees, expenses and disbursements of Seller Parties and their agents, representatives, accountants and counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto and (iii) Buyer shall pay the fees, expenses and disbursements of Buyer and their agents, representatives, accountants and counsel incurred in connection with the subject matter hereof and any amendments hereto (except in each case in respect of costs and fee incurred in connection with enforcement of this Agreement, which shall be paid by the losing party). Seller Parties shall be responsible for paying all transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the sale of the Shares and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

13.4 Consents, Approvals and Discretion. Except as herein expressly provided to the contrary, whenever this Agreement requires any consent or approval to be given by either party or either party must or may exercise discretion, the parties agree that such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such discretion shall be reasonably exercised.

13.5 Choice of Law; Waiver of Jury Trial. The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle that might refer the governance interpretation, construction or enforcement of this Agreement to the laws of another jurisdiction. BUYER AND SELLER PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, FROM WHATEVER SOURCE ARISING, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

13.6 Benefit/Assignment. Subject to provisions herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns and no others; provided, however, that no party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing notwithstanding, Buyer may, without the prior written consent of Seller Parties, assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any Affiliate of Buyer.

13.7 Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of a breach or violation of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as, or be construed to constitute, a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another provision hereof.

13.8 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of Buyer, or Seller Parties under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised

 

49


a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms (including duration, area or amount) to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

13.9 Entire Agreement/Amendment; Counterparts. This Agreement supersedes all previous agreements, contracts and understandings and constitutes, together with the other documents, agreements, and instruments called for to be delivered pursuant to the Agreement, the entire agreement of whatsoever kind or nature existing between or among the parties in respect of the within subject matter and no party shall be entitled to benefits other than those specified herein. As among the parties, no oral statements or prior written material not specifically incorporated herein shall be of any force and effect. Each party hereto acknowledges that in entering into and executing this Agreement, such party relied solely upon the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement and no others. All prior representations, warranties or agreements, whether written or oral, not expressly incorporated herein are hereby superseded and no amendments, modifications or changes in or to this Agreement shall be effective unless and until made in writing and signed by all parties hereto. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument. A facsimile copy of any Person’s signature or any such counterpart shall be fully effective as if an original signature.

13.10 Further Assurances. To the extent not already provided herein, on and after the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller Parties will take all appropriate action and execute all documents, instruments or conveyances of any kind which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to carry out any of the provisions hereof, including putting Buyer in possession and control of the Business and the Assets or to convey title to the Shares to Buyer.

13.11 No Third Party Beneficiaries. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and this Agreement does not, and shall not be construed to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person.

13.12 Gender and Number. Whenever the context of this Agreement requires, the gender of all words herein shall include the masculine, feminine and neuter, and the number of all words herein shall include the singular and plural.

13.13 Divisions and Headings. The division of this Agreement into sections and subsections and the use of captions and headings in connection therewith are solely for convenience and shall have no legal effect in construing the provisions of this Agreement. The words “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or subsection.

13.14 No Inferences. Inasmuch as this Agreement is the result of negotiations between sophisticated parties of equal bargaining power represented by counsel, no inference in favor of, or against, either party shall be drawn from the fact that any portion of this Agreement has been drafted by or on behalf of such party.

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Seller Parties have not delivered all of the schedules called for by this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement. The Seller Parties covenant and agree to deliver such schedules to Buyer on or before ten (10) days from the date hereof. The parties acknowledge and agree that if all of the schedules are not delivered by such time, then the Buyer may terminate the Agreement.

13.18 Due Diligence Production/Completion of Schedules.

(i) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Seller Parties have not delivered to Buyer all of the documents and materials requested by Buyer (the “Due Diligence”), including the documents and materials responsive to the written requests made by senior management of Buyer and the Legal Document and Information Request previously delivered by Buyer. The Seller Parties covenant and agree (i) to timely deliver such Due Diligence and (ii) if certain items are not applicable to the Seller Parties, the Business or the Assets or not in existence, to notify Buyer accordingly, in each case no later than ten (10) days from the date hereof. The parties further acknowledge and agree that at the time of execution of this Agreement, the Seller Parties have not informed any of the employees, officers and independent contractors of the Target Entities of this transaction. As a result, certain of the Schedules to this Agreement have not been prepared in their final form at the time of execution of this Agreement. After review by each of the Seller Parties’ Knowledge Parties and in all cases within ten (10) days following execution of this Agreement (the “Initial Schedule Period”), the Seller Parties shall submit the updated Schedules in writing to the Buyer. The submitted Schedules shall be deemed accepted and thereby become a Schedule to this Agreement unless, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such proposed Schedule (the “Schedule Objection Deadline”), Buyer provides written notice to the Seller Party (i) detailing a reasonable basis for its objection to the submitted Schedule, and (ii) if applicable, changes in such proposed Schedule or otherwise in this Agreement which would make the facts or circumstances disclosed in the Schedule to be acceptable. In such case, the parties shall use their best efforts to reconcile the information to be included on such proposed Schedule as quickly as possible. Should the parties not be able to resolve written objections within the earlier of (x) five (5) Business Days after the Schedule Objection Deadline, or (y) five (5) Business Days after Buyer provides notice to the Seller Parties of an objection to a Schedule (such date, the “Schedule Resolution Deadline”), then Buyer may withdraw from this Agreement and terminate it without any obligation or liability of any sort, this Agreement shall be treated as never having been executed or delivered, and any Deposit shall be returned.

(ii) From and after the expiration of the Initial Schedule Period until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Seller Parties may prepare and deliver to Buyer supplements and/or amendments to the Schedules, which may contain additional Sections that are not in existence as of the date hereof relating to any of the provisions contained in Article 6, with respect to matters first arising after the expiration of the Initial Schedule Period (each, an “Update”), and each such Update shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement for all purposes hereof other than for purposes of the conditions set forth in Section 8.4 or 9.4. Notwithstanding the above, no update shall prejudice Buyer’s rights to indemnification under Section 11.1.
