Any Supplemental Disclosure shall be deemed to cure any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of the disclosing party contained in this Agreement (solely to the extent such breach or inaccuracy arises from a condition, event or circumstance arising after the date of this Agreement), including for purposes of determining whether or not the conditions set forth in Section 3.01(b)(i) or Section 3.01(c)(i) have been satisfied. No party hereto shall be entitled to assert any condition, event or circumstance described in a Supplemental Disclosure as a basis for claiming that the conditions set forth in Section 3.01(b)(i) or Section 3.01(c)(i) have not been satisfied, even if such Supplemental Disclosure has, or would reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse Effect. Any Supplemental Disclosure shall not be deemed to cure any breach of any agreement or covenant of the disclosing party contained in this Agreement.

(c) Prior to the Closing, each party hereto shall give prompt written notice to the other parties of any breach or violation by such party of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement, or of the occurrence of any other event that makes the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III impossible or unlikely. Any such notice by a party with respect to its breach or violation of any covenant or agreement hereunder shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the other parties hereto.

Section 9.04 Public Announcements. The parties hereto shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, and none of the parties shall issue any such press release or make any public statement prior to obtaining (a) the approval of the IPO Committee, or (b) the other parties’ prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, however, that a party may, without obtaining the approval of the IPO Committee, or the other parties’ consent, issue such press release or make such public statement as may be required by Law, Governmental Order or the applicable rules of any stock exchange applicable to such party or its parent corporation.

Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such action or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(e) At least seven Business Days prior to the Closing, each Investor (other than Lennar HF) shall deliver to the Newhall Companies a Non-Foreign Affidavit, certifying such Investor’s non-foreign status, and if requested by the Newhall Companies, any similar withholding certificates or other forms under applicable state, local or foreign Tax laws.

(f) The Newhall Companies make no representations or warranties to the Investors regarding the Tax treatment of the contributions pursuant to this Agreement, or with respect to any other Tax consequences to the Investors of this Agreement. Each Investor acknowledges that it is relying solely on its own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement.

(g) Except as required by applicable Law, neither the Newhall Companies nor any Investor will voluntarily settle any tax-related claim by any Governmental Authority by agreeing to treat the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement other than as described herein without the consent of the IPO Committee or, if after the Closing, the Board of Directors of the Company.

Except as set forth in Section 9.09 of such Investor’s applicable Disclosure Schedule, each Investor hereby terminates or shall cause its Related Party to terminate, effective as of the Closing, any and all Related Party Contracts to which it or any of its Affiliates is a party, other than any Related Party Contracts contemplated by, or otherwise entered into in connection with, this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. No such terminated Related Party Contract will be of any further force or effect from and after the Closing and all Ventures and their Subsidiaries shall be released from all liabilities and obligations thereunder. Each party shall take, or cause to be taken, any and all actions as may be reasonably necessary to effect the foregoing.

Section 9.10 Replacement of Guarantees. The parties hereto (other than the Selling Investors) shall cooperate and use their commercially reasonable efforts to arrange, effective at or prior to the Closing Date, at the Company’s cost and expense, the replacement of all Investor Guarantees, and the release of all obligations of Investors or their Affiliates to provide Guarantees in the future, with alternate arrangements that do not require any credit support from any Investor, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each beneficiary of any Investor Guarantee a written release indicating that the relevant Investor will, effective as of the Closing, have no further Liability with respect to such Investor Guarantee. If, in connection with or following the Closing, the parties hereto (other than the Selling Investors) are unable to replace any Investor Guarantee provided by an Investor, (i) the Company and such Investor shall cooperate and continue to use their reasonable best efforts to replace such Investor Guarantee with alternate arrangements that do not require any credit support from such Investor, and (ii) the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless such Investor against, and reimburse such Investor for, any Losses incurred following the Closing with respect to such Investor Guarantee.

Accordingly, the Investors are deemed expressly to understand provisions and principles of law such as Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California (as well as any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law of any state or territory of the United States, or principle of common law, which is similar or comparable to Section 1542), which Section provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. The Investors are hereby deemed to agree that the provisions of Section 1542 and all similar federal or state Laws, rights, rules or legal principles of California or any other jurisdiction that may be applicable herein, are hereby knowingly and voluntarily waived and relinquished with respect to the releases in Section 9.11(a) through (d).

(f) Nothing contained in this Section 9.11 shall impair any right of any party hereto to enforce this Agreement.

A member of the IPO Committee may only be removed by unanimous consent of the parties hereto (other than the Selling Investors). If any member of the IPO Committee resigns (which any member may do at any time by written notice to the Company), becomes incapacitated or dies, then the party or parties hereto with which such member of the IPO Committee is affiliated may appoint an individual as a replacement member to the IPO Committee.

(b) The parties hereto (other than the Selling Investors, whose agreement is not required) hereby authorize the IPO Committee, acting by majority vote, to approve: (i) the timing for completing the IPO and effecting the Closing hereunder, provided that the IPO and Closing occur prior to the Outside Date; (ii) the number of Class A Common Shares to be sold in the IPO; (iii) the Price to the Public and underwriting discounts and commissions in the IPO; (iv) any material change to the compensation arrangements for the senior management of the Company from the compensation arrangements for the senior management of FPH that were previously approved by the IPO Committee (provided that Mr. Haddad shall not participate in any decision relating to changes to his own compensation arrangements); (v) pursuant to Section 9.04, any press release or other public statement

 

49


relating to the transactions contemplated hereby; (vi) pursuant to Section 9.05(g), any party’s agreement, as part of a voluntary settlement of any tax-related claim by any Governmental Authority, to treat the transactions that are the subject of this Agreement other than as described herein; and (vii) any increase in the Cost Sharing Cap.

(c) The parties hereto (other than the Selling Investors, whose agreement is not required) also authorize the IPO Committee, acting with the approval of four (4) out of the five (5) IPO Committee members, to: (i) consent to certain actions pursuant to Section 9.01; (ii) terminate this Agreement on behalf of all of the parties hereto; (iii) approve the terms of any indebtedness incurred by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the IPO; and (iv) approve, on behalf of all of the parties hereto, any waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that the IPO Committee may not provide any waiver that (1) changes the Outside Date to a later date, (2) modifies the cash consideration to be received by the Selling Investors pursuant to Section 2.01(b), or (3) imposes any additional liability on any Investor without the consent of such Investor.

(d) The parties hereto (other than the Selling Investors, whose agreement is not required) hereby agree that, at the time of the IPO, the directors of the Company shall be Emile Haddad (Chairman), Evan Carruthers, Stuart Miller, Rick Beckwitt, Jon Jaffe, Michael Winer, Gary Hunt, an individual designated by the committee of the Board of Managers of the Company established for such purpose and approved by Mr. Haddad (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and three individuals selected by the IPO Committee, acting unanimously. The IPO Committee, acting unanimously, shall determine (i) the identity of a lead independent director who shall have powers and responsibilities that are customary for a lead independent director of a public company, as reasonably determined as of the Closing Date by the Board of Directors of the Company (subject to change from time to time after the Closing Date as determined by the Board of Directors); (ii) the relevant class of the board to which each director shall be appointed; provided, that Mr. Haddad shall be appointed to Class III (term expiring on the date of the third annual meeting of shareholders held by the Company following the Closing) and (iii) whether to modify Exhibit A hereto (the Company LLC Agreement) prior to the IPO to increase the authorized size of the board of directors of the Company.

Each of the Investors agrees to furnish to the Company all information concerning itself and its Affiliates and all information in its possession or control regarding the Ventures as the Company may reasonably request in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement and amendments thereto. The Company shall promptly notify the IPO Committee upon the receipt of any comments from the SEC or any request from the SEC for amendments to the Registration Statement, and shall provide the IPO Committee with copies of all correspondence between the Company and the SEC. Prior to filing the Registration Statement (or any material amendment thereto) or responding to any material comments of the SEC with respect thereto, the Company shall provide the IPO Committee an opportunity to review and comment on such filing, amendment or response.

(b) If, at any time prior to the Closing Date, any Investor discovers any information relating to itself, any of its Affiliates or its Venture which may require an amendment to the Registration Statement so that such document would not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, such Investor shall promptly notify the Company so that the Company may assess the need for an amendment to the Registration Statement and, if it determines that an amendment is necessary or advisable, promptly file such amendment with the SEC.

(c) The Company will provide each party hereto and any of its respective Affiliates with an opportunity to review and approve any references to any of them by name in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto.

Section 9.14 Employee Matters.

Prior to the Closing, the Company shall offer each current member of the Operating Company that qualifies as an “accredited investor,” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, an opportunity to subscribe for a number of Class B Common Shares equal to the number of OP Units owned by such member, with the closing of any such sale to occur concurrently with the Closing hereunder.

Section 9.18 Hunters Point Transactions. The Hunters Point Venture shall not amend or waive any material provision of the Hunters Point Agreement without the prior written consent of the IPO Committee, which may be withheld in its sole discretion. The Hunters Point Venture and the Hunters Point Investors shall cause the Hunters Point Transactions to be consummated prior to the Closing.

Section 9.19 FPC-HF Distribution. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that FPC-HF intends to distribute its interests in the Company and its Subsidiaries, whether in the form of Class A Common Shares, Class B Common Shares, Units, Five Point LP Class B Interests or otherwise, to its direct or indirect investors or their designees in one or more distributions, and that upon any such distribution, the recipients of such interests shall be (a) obligated to become party to that certain Standstill Agreement, dated as of July 2, 2015, by and among FPH, the Company and the Investors named therein (as amended, the “Standstill Agreement”), and a Lock-Up Agreement, and (b) entitled to become party to such agreements and other documents, including the Registration Rights Agreement and the Tax Receivable Agreement, and to otherwise have such rights and benefits as are provided to FPC-HF in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve FPC-HF of its obligations hereunder.

51


Section 9.22 Share Option. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement would cause the aggregate number of OP Units owned by the Company and its wholly owned Subsidiaries to be less than 50.1% of the total number of OP Units outstanding after giving effect to the IPO, then, at the Closing, in lieu of issuing a portion of the OP Units that would otherwise be issued to the Lennar OP Investors or any other Investor who consents to such treatment (collectively, the “Accommodation Investors”), the Company shall have the right to issue an equal number of Class A Common Shares (the “Share Option”). If the Company exercises the Share Option, it will calculate the aggregate number of Class A Common Shares to be issued in lieu of OP Units (the “Substitute Shares”), and allocate the Substitute Shares among the Accommodation Investors as nearly as practicable on a pro rata basis in accordance with the number of OP Units to be received, and give written notice of such allocation to the Accommodation Investors prior to the Closing; provided that the Accommodation Investors may agree to a different allocation of the Substitute Shares among themselves. If the Company exercises the Share Option, it will be deemed to have contributed the value of the Substitute Shares to the Operating Company as a capital contribution, and the Operating Company shall issue to the Company a number of OP Units equal to the number of Substitute Shares.

ARTICLE X

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Section 10.01 Appointed Representative. If a Dispute arises, each party involved in such Dispute shall appoint a representative who shall be responsible for administering the dispute resolution provisions in Section 10.02 (each, an “Appointed Representative”). Each Appointed Representative shall have the authority to resolve any Disputes on behalf of the party appointing such representative.

Section 10.02 Negotiation and Dispute Resolution.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or in any Ancillary Agreement, in the event of a controversy, dispute or claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance, nonperformance, validity, termination or breach of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or otherwise arising out of, or in any way related to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (each, a “Dispute”), the party raising the Dispute shall give written notice of its nature to the other parties to the Dispute, and the Appointed Representatives shall negotiate in good faith for a reasonable period of time, and not less than thirty (30) days, to settle any such Dispute.

(b) Nothing said or disclosed, nor any document produced, in the course of any negotiations, conferences and discussions in connection with efforts to settle an Dispute that is not otherwise independently discoverable shall be offered or received as evidence or used for impeachment or for any other purpose, but shall be considered as to have been disclosed for settlement purposes.

(c) If a satisfactory resolution of any Dispute is not achieved by the Appointed Representatives within a reasonable period of time, the parties hereto agree to seek to resolve such Dispute by mediation administered by Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) and its mediation rules, and to bear equally the costs of the mediation. If the Dispute has not been resolved through mediation within ninety (90) days after the date of service of written notice of such Dispute, or such longer period as the parties may mutually agree in writing (the “Mediation Period”), each party will be entitled to refer the dispute to arbitration in accordance with Section 10.03. The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of an arbitration hereunder, except that no defense based on the running of the statute of limitations will be available based upon the passage of time during the period that the parties are engaged in mediation pursuant to this paragraph or pre-mediation negotiations between their Appointed Representatives.

Section 10.03 Arbitration.

(a) If the Dispute has not been resolved for any reason during the Mediation Period, such Dispute shall be resolved, at the request of either party, by arbitration administered by JAMS under its Arbitration Rules (the “JAMS Rules”), conducted in Los Angeles, California. There shall be three arbitrators. Each Party shall appoint one arbitrator. The two party-appointed arbitrators shall agree on a third arbitrator who will chair the

 

52


arbitral tribunal. Any arbitrator not appointed within a reasonable time shall be appointed in accordance with the JAMS Rules. Any controversy concerning whether a Dispute is an arbitrable Dispute, whether arbitration has been waived, whether an assignee of this Agreement is bound to arbitrate, or as to the interpretation or enforceability of this Section 10.03 will be determined by the arbitrators. In resolving any Dispute, the parties intend that the arbitrators apply the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any choice of law principles thereof that would mandate the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties intend that the provisions to arbitrate set forth herein be valid, enforceable and irrevocable, and any award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final on the parties, subject to review under the JAMS Optional Arbitration Appeal Procedure, which the parties adopt and agree to implement (as it exists on the effective date of this Agreement) with respect to any interim or final award in an arbitration arising out of or related to a Dispute. The JAMS appeal panel will consist of three retired appellate judges, selected pursuant to the JAMS Appellate Procedures. The standard of review on such an appeal will be the same standard as the first-level federal appellate court in the jurisdiction that would apply to an appeal from a trial court decision. For the avoidance of doubt, that standard of review shall de novo review of conclusions of law and mixed questions of law and fact, and factual findings shall be reviewed for clear error. The parties hereto agree to comply with any award made in any such arbitration proceedings and agree to enforcement of or entry of judgment upon such award, in any court of competent jurisdiction, including any Los Angeles Superior Court for the State of California or federal court in the Central District of California. The Parties irrevocably and unconditionally (i) consent and submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the Courts of the State of California and the Federal Courts of the United States of America located within the State of California (the “California Courts”); (ii) waive, to the fullest extent they may effectively do so, any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens or any right of objection to jurisdiction on account of their place of incorporation or domicile, which they may now or hereafter have to the enforcement or entry of judgment in any California Court. The arbitrators shall be entitled, if appropriate, to award monetary damages and other remedies, including equitable remedies. Any interim measures granted by the arbitrators, including injunctive relief, shall be immediately appealable to a JAMS appeal panel under the same standards as applicable in the U.S. federal courts of appeal. The parties will use their commercially reasonable efforts to encourage the arbitrators to resolve any arbitration related to any Dispute as promptly as practicable. Except as required by applicable Law, including disclosure or reporting requirements, the arbitrators and the parties shall maintain the confidentiality of the existence of any dispute, all information, records, reports, or other documents obtained in the course of the arbitration, and of all awards, orders, or other arbitral decisions rendered by the arbitrators.

(b) The arbitrators may consolidate arbitration under this Agreement with any other arbitration arising under this Agreement or relating to any of the Ancillary Agreements if they determine that (a) the subject of the Disputes thereunder arise out of or relate essentially to the same set of facts or transactions; and (b) no party to the Disputes would be unduly prejudiced as a result of such consolidation through undue delay or otherwise. Such consolidated arbitration will be determined by the arbitrators appointed for the arbitration proceeding that was commenced first in time.

(c) Unless otherwise agreed in writing, the parties hereto will continue to provide service and honor all other commitments under this Agreement and each Ancillary Agreement during the course of dispute resolution pursuant to the provisions of this Article X with respect to all matters not subject to such dispute resolution.

ARTICLE XI

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to each other party. All counterparts shall collectively constitute one agreement (or amendment, as applicable). The exchange of counterparts of this Agreement among the parties by means of facsimile transmission or by electronic transmission (pdf) which shall contain authentic reproductions shall constitute a valid exchange of this Agreement and shall be binding upon the parties hereto.

Section 11.05 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including, without limitation, the exhibits and schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement, the Cost Sharing Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement.

Section 11.06 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the parties hereto and are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the parties hereto in accordance with Section 11.16 without notice or liability to any other person. The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the parties hereto of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the parties hereto. Accordingly, Persons other than the parties hereto may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 11.07 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of any Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

Section 11.08 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that, except as set forth in Section 9.19, Section 9.20 and Section 9.21, this Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation of law) by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect.

Section 11.09 Jurisdiction.

(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California and to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Central District of California, for the purpose of any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) to enforce any arbitration award rendered in a proceeding in accordance with Article X, or otherwise (to the extent permitted notwithstanding Article X) directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement thereof, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Article X, all claims in respect to such action or proceeding may be heard and determined exclusively in any such California state or federal court.

 

54


(b) Each of the parties hereto (i) irrevocably consents to the service of the summons and complaint and any other process in any action or proceeding relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, on behalf of itself or its property, by personal delivery of copies of such process to such party, but nothing in this Section 11.09(b) shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law, (ii) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any United States federal court located in the State of California or any California state court in any proceeding to enforce an arbitration award rendered in a proceeding under Article X or in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, other than a request that the matter must be referred for arbitration in accordance with Article X, and (iv) agrees that, except as otherwise provided in Article X, it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than any United States federal court located in the State of California or any California state court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

Section 11.10 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD RENDERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE X IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF OR TO ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD RENDERED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE X. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Section 11.11 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable Laws, but if any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Laws in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.

Section 11.12 Specific Performance; Equitable Remedies. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties hereto do not perform the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of it hereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that the parties shall be entitled to, and, pursuant to Section 10.03, the arbitrators may award, an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting by the arbitrators of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief, or a court order enforcing such an award, on the basis that any other party has an adequate remedy at Law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or in equity. Any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such order or injunction.

Section 11.13 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11.14 Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 11.15 No Personal Liability Conferred. This Agreement shall not create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any officer, director, partner, member, manager, employee or shareholder of any of the Newhall Companies (except obligations of Newhall Companies under this Agreement or related documents) or of any of the Investors.

Section 11.16 Waiver. Any party hereto may, as to itself, (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation or other act of any other party hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of another party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, and/or (c) waive compliance with any agreement or condition contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder.

Section 11.17 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the parties hereto, except that such amendment need not be signed by the Selling Investors unless such amendment (a) changes the Outside Date to a later date, (b) modifies the cash consideration to be received by any Selling Investor pursuant to Section 2.01(b), (c) imposes any additional liability on any Selling Investor, (d) modifies this sentence or the proviso in Section 9.12(c) or (e) has an adverse effect on any Selling Investor.

Section 11.18 Application of Certain Provisions to Selling Investors. Sections 8.09, 9.13(a), 9.13(b) and 9.14 shall not apply to the Selling Investors, and the Selling Investors shall have no liability for any breach of such provisions.

Section 11.19 Indemnification.

(a) From and after the Closing Date, the Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Selling Investors, and their respective partners, members, stockholders, directors, officers and employees (the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any Losses to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the registration statement or any prospectus for the IPO, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any of the Selling Investors specifically for inclusion therein.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party under this Section 11.19 of notice of the commencement of any Action (including any Action by a Governmental Authority) by a third-party for which any Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Parties will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Company under this Section 11.19, give the Company notice of the commencement thereof. The Company shall have the right to participate in such Third Party Claim and to assume the defense thereof, and such Indemnified Part(ies) shall cooperate with the Company in connection therewith; provided, however, that an Indemnified Party (together with all other Indemnified Parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by such Indemnified Party. The failure to give notice to the Company within a reasonable time of the commencement of any Third Party Claim shall relieve the Company of any liability to the Indemnified Party

 

56


under this Section 11.19 only to the extent that such failure actually and materially prejudices the Company. The failure to give notice to the Company will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 11.19. So long as the Company is reasonably contesting a Third Party Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle any such Third Party Claim. In addition, in the event that the Company assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 11.19(b)(ii):

(i) The Company shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal, or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Company’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that if in the opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Company; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Company shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines that counsel is required. If the Company elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 11.19(b), pay, compromise and defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.19.

(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, unless such settlement does not lead to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party that is not paid, satisfied and discharged by the Company and provides for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim, in which case the consent of the Indemnified Party shall not be required.

(c) All of the parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of any Third Party Claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder and shall furnish such records, information and testimony, and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals, as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith (it being acknowledged and agreed that all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be considered “Losses” hereunder).

(d)

(i) Any Indemnified Party must give the Company prompt notice of any claim for Losses specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and stating the aggregate amount of the Losses or an estimate thereof with respect to such claim, in each case to the extent known or determinable at such time.

(ii) If the Company shall object in writing to any claim or claims by an Indemnified Party, the Company shall have thirty (30) calendar days from the receipt of such objection to respond in a written statement to the objection. If after such thirty (30) calendar day period there remains a dispute as to any claims, the Company and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) calendar days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties hereto with respect to each of such claims.

(iii) If no such agreement can be reached after good faith negotiation, either the Company or the Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties hereto agree to arbitration; and in either such event the matter shall be settled by arbitration conducted in accordance with Article X.

(e) To provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either: (i) any party otherwise entitled to indemnification hereunder makes a claim for

 

57


indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.19 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case, notwithstanding the fact that this Section provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any party hereto for which indemnification is provided under this Section 11.19, then, and in each such case, such parties will contribute to the aggregate Losses to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each of the Company and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements, omissions, or other actions that resulted in such Losses, as well as to reflect any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or allegedly untrue statement of a material fact, or the omission or alleged omission of a material fact, relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; provided, however, that, in any such case no Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 11.19 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any termination of this Agreement.
