ARTICLE II    
SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES; SPIN-OFF AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
2.1    Sale and Purchase of Shares. At the Closing, Seller shall sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Shares to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall purchase the Shares from the Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2.2    Spin-Off Transaction.
(a)    Promptly following execution of this Agreement, and in any case within 7 business days thereafter, Seller will deposit with the Registry the Spin-Off Project. The Spin-Off Project shall provide that there are no Liabilities related to the Spontania Business other than the Assumed Employee Liabilities, that no Identified Creditor will become a creditor of Newco, and that after the execution of the Spin-Off Transaction, (i) Newco will be organized as a new entity; (ii) the Spontania Assets will be transferred to Newco, free and clear of all Liabilities and Encumbrances except the Assumed Spontania Liabilities; (iii) Newco will assume the Assumed Spontania Liabilities (and none others); (iv) the Seller Employees identified by Purchaser and who accept employment with Newco will no longer be Seller Employees but will be Newco Employees; and (v) all of the Shares will be held by Seller.
(b)    After the presentation of the Spin-off Project to the Registrar, Seller shall make such filings and notifications as appropriate under Spanish Law related to the Spin-Off Transaction, including notification to creditors by publication. In the event that, during such notification process, (i) any Identified Creditor listed in the Spin-Off Project timely objects to the Spin-Off Transaction because it determines it will be less secure following such Spin-Off Transaction or (ii) any additional third party (or parties) who is not listed in the Spin-Off Project or Public Deed or related process asserts it is a creditor of Seller (each such creditor in (i) or (ii), an “Objecting Creditor”), then the following shall apply:
(i)    Seller will have a period of thirty days following receipt of any notice from an Objecting Creditor to work in good faith to resolve the dispute raised by such Objecting Creditor and to obtain resolution of the Objecting Creditor’s claim. If Seller and an Objecting Creditor agree upon an amount to settle the Objecting Creditor’s claim (in each case, an “Agreed Amount”), then Seller shall pay such Objecting Creditor the Agreed Amount directly or, if Seller

    


notifies Purchaser that Seller does not have sufficient resources to pay such amount, then Purchaser may elect to pay such Objecting Creditor the Agreed Amount (in each case of payment by Purchaser, a “Direct Creditor Payment”), which shall reduce the Purchase Price. All Direct Creditor Payments to be made hereunder shall be paid at Closing, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement and subject to obtaining an appropriate release from such Objecting Creditor. In the case of a Direct Creditor Payment, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a full statement of facts of the nature of the dispute between Seller and Objecting Creditor, including such information as necessary to indicate how the parties to the dispute agreed upon the Agreed Amount, prior to providing Purchaser with payment instructions and other necessary details for Purchaser’s satisfaction.
(ii)    If Seller and an Objecting Creditor do not timely resolve the dispute between such Objecting Creditor and Seller, Purchaser may elect to offer to establish at Closing an escrow amount (a “Creditor Escrow”) for an amount mutually agreed to between the Seller and the specific Objecting Creditor (which will include an estimated amount of interest) in consideration of the Objecting Creditor agreeing in writing (in form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) to (a) the Spin-Off Project and (b) the release of Newco from any claims. It shall be Seller’s responsibility to first approach the Objecting Creditor with a proposal (a “Proposal”) for resolution of such Objecting Creditor’s claims and, once such Proposal is agreed upon in writing by Seller and the Objecting Creditor, as contemplated above, to then approach Purchaser, which shall then decide whether or not to make the election referenced in the first sentence hereof. Any amounts paid into a Creditor Escrow pursuant to an agreed upon Proposal shall reduce the Purchase Price. A separate Creditor Escrow will be established under the Escrow Agreement (or otherwise as may be agreed) for each Objecting Creditor with respect to which Purchaser elects to offer to establish such an escrow in connection with each accepted Proposal.
(iii)    With respect to any Objecting Creditor whose claim is not resolved pursuant to Section 2.2.(b)(i) or Section 2.2(b)(ii) (including any circumstance where Purchaser, Seller or the Objecting Creditor refuses, for any reason, to agree upon a Proposal or to allow a Creditor Escrow to be established, Purchaser may elect one of the following options:
(A)    Purchaser may enter into an agreement with each such remaining Objecting Creditor under which Purchaser will directly pay to each such Objecting Creditor an amount (“Release Amount”) sufficient to obtain a release in favor of Purchaser from each such Objecting Creditor and each such Objecting Creditor will assign to Seller the Objecting Creditor’s claim against Seller. Purchaser will then be able to pursue such claim against Seller directly and, if the dispute is resolved prior to the termination of the Escrow Fund, Purchaser shall be entitled to recover the established amount from the Escrow Fund.

    


(B)    Purchaser may deem such lack of resolution to be a terminable event (a “Termination Right”) and elect to terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(f).
(iv)    Purchaser will not make any Direct Creditor Payment or deposit any amount into a Creditor Escrow unless it is satisfied, in its sole discretion, that the objections of all Objecting Creditors have been resolved or are likely to be resolved under the provisions of Section 2.2(b). If it appears to Purchaser that the sum of the amounts to be paid (i) to Identified Creditors who did not become Objecting Creditors; (ii) to Objecting Creditors as Direct Creditor Payments; and (iii) into escrow as Creditor Escrows will exceed the Maximum Creditor Amount, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(e).
(v)    Seller shall provide Purchaser with satisfactory documentary evidence for resolving claims of creditors that they claim to have resolved pursuant to this Section 2.2.
(c)    Once the Spin-off Project has been registered and the period for opposition of creditors has elapsed, the Seller will hold a shareholder meeting within [3] days thereafter and pass into a public deed the decision to spin-off the Spontania Business and present the same to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Registry providing to the Purchaser a copy of the presentation voucher. In any case, the Purchaser will have to verify the contents of the referred Public Deed before it is granted.
(d)     If the Spin-Off Public Deed is not registered due to any type of defect, Seller will inform the Purchaser within two days after Seller learns of the inability to effect registration. Should the defect be of a technical or immaterial nature, the Seller will be obliged to immediately amend the given document in order to comply with the Registrar’s objection. If the defects identified or created by the Registrar alter in any way the Spin-Off Transaction or Acquisition Transaction referred to in this Agreement, or if the defects are such that they are not capable of being cured, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in order to find a fair solution during a period of [20] days. If no agreement is timely reached, the Purchaser shall have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1(g).
(e)    Once the Spin-off Project has been registered and the period for objection by creditors has elapsed, the Seller shall provide Purchaser, within [3] days thereafter, with a statement regarding the status of each unpaid creditor, whether an Objecting Creditor or not, including the details of any disputed amount.
