ARTICLE 8

AGREEMENTS REGARDING TAXES

 

Section 8.1. Tax Returns.

 

The Buyer will prepare or cause to be prepared any Tax Returns of the Company that are due or may be filed by the Company from and after the Closing Date, other than any income Tax Returns required to be filed for periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, which will be prepared by the Shareholders (at their expense) and delivered in a timely manner to the Buyer.

In the case of Tax Returns prepared by the Buyer, the Buyer will provide the Shareholders with drafts of any such Tax Returns that include any period ending on or prior to the Closing Date no later than 30 days before their due date (with regard to extensions actually granted) and will permit the Shareholders to review, comment on and approve such draft Tax Returns. The Shareholders will not unreasonably withhold or delay their approval to any such draft Tax Returns. In the case of Tax Returns of the Company prepared by the Shareholders, the Shareholders will prepare such Tax Returns consistent with past practice and in accordance with applicable law, will provide to the Buyer drafts of any such Tax Returns that include any period ending on the Closing Date at least 30 days before the due date thereof, with regard to extensions actually granted, and will permit the Buyer to review, comment on and approve such draft Tax Returns. The Buyer will not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval to any such draft Tax Returns and, after such approval, will execute and file such Tax Returns. The Buyer will cooperate with the Shareholders with respect to any information or documentation reasonably required by the Shareholders in preparing such Tax Returns. For the avoidance of doubt, the Shareholders shall be responsible for payment of all taxes attributed to the activities of the Company up to the Closing Date.

The Buyer and the Shareholders shall, and shall cause the Company to, retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority.

 

ARTICLE 9

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 9.1. Survival.

 

The representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, in any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and in any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith shall survive for a period of eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date (the “Warranty Period”) and shall thereupon terminate and expire and shall be of no force or effect thereafter, except (i) with respect to any claim, written notice of which shall have been delivered to Buyer or the Shareholders, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 9.6 and prior to the end of the Warranty Period, such claim shall survive the termination of such Warranty Period for as long as such claim is unsettled, and (ii) with respect to any litigation which shall have been commenced to resolve such claim on or prior to such date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, solely with respect to the representations and warranties regarding Ownership of the Shares (Section 4.3), Taxes (Section 4.28), Environmental Matters (Section 4.25) and ERISA Matters (Section 4.24), the applicable Warranty Period shall be the applicable statute of limitations.

 

Section 9.2. Indemnification by the Shareholders.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 9.5 below, each Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer that such Shareholder shall indemnify Buyer and its shareholders, respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates of Buyer, and each of their successors and assigns (individually, a “Buyer Indemnified Party”), and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all costs, losses, claims, liabilities (including for Taxes), fines, penalties, damages and expenses (including interest, if any, imposed in connection therewith, court costs and reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, “Damages”) incurred by any of them resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the non-fulfillment in any material respect of any agreement, covenant or obligation by a Shareholder made in this Agreement (including without limitation any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith).

 

Section 9.3. Indemnification by Buyer.

 

Buyer hereby covenants and agrees with the Shareholders that Buyer shall indemnify the Shareholders and their heirs and assigns (individually, a “Shareholder Indemnified Party”) and hold them harmless from, against and in respect of any and all Damages incurred by any of them resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement or the non-fulfillment in any material respect of any agreement, covenant or obligation by Buyer or Parent made in this Agreement (including without limitation any Exhibit or Schedule hereto and any certificate or instrument delivered in connection herewith).

 

 

20

 
 

Section 9.4. Right to Defend.

 

If the facts giving rise to any such indemnification shall involve any actual claim or demand by any third party against a Buyer Indemnified Party or Shareholder Indemnified Party (referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”), then the Indemnified Party will give prompt written notice of any such claim to the indemnifying party, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature, basis and amount of such claim (the “Notice of Third Party Claim”). It is a condition precedent to the applicable indemnifying party’s obligation to indemnify the applicable Indemnified Party for such claim that such Indemnified Party timely provide to such indemnifying party the applicable Notice of Third Party Claim, provided that the failure to provide such Notice of Third Party Claim shall relieve such indemnifying party of its or his obligation to indemnify for such claim only to the extent that such indemnifying party has been prejudiced by such Indemnified Party’s failure to give the Notice of Third Party Claim as required. The indemnifying party receiving such Notice of Third Party Claim may (without prejudice to the right of any Indemnified Party to participate at its own expense through counsel of its own choosing) undertake the defense of such claims or actions at its expense with counsel chosen and paid by it by giving written notice (the “Election to Defend”) to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the date the Notice of Third Party Claim is deemed received; provided, however, that the indemnifying party receiving the Notice of Third Party Claim may not settle such claims or actions without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except if the sole relief provided is monetary damages to be borne solely by the indemnifying party; and, provided further, if the defendants in any action include both the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by the indemnifying party has a conflict of interest because of the availability of different or additional defenses to the parties, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of such claim and shall make available to the indemnifying party pertinent information under its control relating thereto, but the Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel and to control its defense and shall be entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in such separate defense. In no event will the provisions of this Article reduce or lessen the obligations of the parties under this Article, if prior to the expiration of the foregoing thirty (30) day notice period, the Indemnified Party furnishing the Notice of Third Party Claim responds to a third party claim if such action is reasonably required to minimize damages or avoid a forfeiture or penalty or because of any requirements imposed by law. If the indemnifying party receiving the Notice of Third Party Claim does not duly give the Election to Defend as provided above, then it will be deemed to have irrevocably waived its right to defend or settle such claims, but it will have the right, at its expense, to attend, but not otherwise to participate in, proceedings with such third parties; and if the indemnifying party does duly give the Election to Defend, then the Indemnified Party giving the Notice of Third Party Claim will have the right at its expense, to attend, but not otherwise to participate in, such proceedings. The parties to this Agreement will not be entitled to dispute the amount of any Damages (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) related to such third party claim resolved as provided above.

 

Section 9.5 Limitation on Rights of Indemnification.

 

(a) No Buyer Indemnified Party shall have the right to indemnification under this Agreement unless and until the aggregate amount of any and all such indemnification claims made by the Buyer Indemnified Party under this Agreement exceeds $25,000 (the “Basket”). After the aggregate of all Damages suffered or incurred by the Buyer exceeds the Basket, Buyer shall be entitled to receive one and one-half ($1.50) dollars in respect of each one dollar of indemnified claims in excess of the Buyer until Buyer shall have received an amount equal to the sum of the reimbursed indemnified claims plus the Basket in respect of indemnified claims. If Buyer is entitled to any further payments in respect of indemnifications claims, such payments shall be made on a dollar for dollar basis subject to any limitations contained herein; subject, however, to the further limitations on indemnification set forth in Section 9.5(b) below. The Basket shall not apply to claims regarding Taxes (4.28), ERISA (4.24) and Ownership of the Shares (4.3), and claims arising out of fraud.

 

 

21

 
 

(b) Except in the event of fraud, the remedies provided in Sections 9.2 and 9.3 hereof shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the Buyer Indemnified Party and Shareholder Indemnified Party from and after the Closing in connection with any breach of representation or warranty or non-performance, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.

 

Section 9.6. Subrogation.

 

If the Indemnified Party receives payment or other indemnification from the indemnifying party hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment or indemnification to all rights in respect of the subject matter of such claim to which the Indemnified Party may be entitled, to institute appropriate action against third parties for the recovery thereof, including under any insurance policies, and the Indemnified Party agrees to assist and cooperate in good faith with the indemnifying party and to take any action reasonably required by such indemnifying party, at the expense of such indemnifying party, in enforcing such rights.

 

If a Shareholder shall have paid a Buyer Indemnified Party for an indemnified claim arising out of Section 4.21 hereof or otherwise, and the Buyer Indemnified Party or the Company subsequently receives payment under insurance policies (existing prior to the Closing) covering such claim, the Buyer Indemnified Party shall repay to the Shareholder the amount of such prior payment made by the Shareholder; provided, however, such repayment shall not exceed the actual amount received by the Buyer Indemnified Party under such policy, less all reasonable fees (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Party in pursuing and collecting under such policy.

 

ARTICLE 10

10.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and at any time prior to the Closing:

In the event of termination by the Buyer or the Shareholders pursuant to Section 10.1, written notice thereof shall promptly be given to the other parties and, except as otherwise provided herein, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be terminated, without further action by any party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in Section 10.1 or 10.2 shall be deemed to release any party from any liability for any breach by such party of the terms and provisions of this Agreement or to impair the right of the Shareholders, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, to compel specific performance of the other party of its or their obligations under this Agreement.
