Section 3.06 Real and Personal Property.

(a) No Acquired Company owns any real property.

(b) Schedule 3.06(b) lists all real estate leased by any Acquired Company as a lessee, sub-lessee, or assignee (the “Leased Real Property”), including a description of the premises leased and the Acquired Company that leases the same. All Leased Real Property is leased pursuant to valid written leases listed in Schedule 3.17(a). Such leases contain the entire agreement between the landlord of each of the leased premises and the Acquired Company, and there is no other Contract between the landlord and any Acquired Company affecting such Leased Real Property. No Acquired Company leases any Leased Real Property as a lessor or sub-lessor.

(c) The Acquired Companies’ interests in the Leased Real Property are owned by the respective Acquired Companies free and clear of all Encumbrances, variances, or limitations of any nature, other than Permitted Encumbrances and as set forth in Schedule 3.06(c). To the Knowledge of Founder, certificates of occupancy are in full force and effect for each location of Leased Real Property, and the uses thereof being made by the Acquired Companies do not violate any applicable zoning, subdivision, land use, or other Legal Requirement. No Third Party has a right to acquire the Acquired Companies’ interests in the Leased Real Property. To the Knowledge of the Founder, there is no existing or proposed plan to modify or realign any street or highway or any existing or proposed eminent domain Proceeding that would result in the taking of all or any part of any parcel of Leased Real Property or that would prevent or hinder the continued use of any such parcel as used by the Acquired Companies. None of the Leased Real Property is located within a flood plain for flood insurance purposes.

(d) The Acquired Companies own all tangible personal property reflected as owned in the Balance Sheet (other than inventory sold since the Balance Sheet Date in the Ordinary Course of Business), free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances and as set forth in Schedule 3.6(d). All the tangible personal property purchased or otherwise acquired by the Acquired Companies since the Balance Sheet Date (other than inventory acquired and sold since the Balance Sheet Date in the Ordinary Course of Business) is owned by the Acquired Companies free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances and as set forth in Schedule 3.06(d). A copy of the fixed asset register of each Acquired Company has been delivered to Buyer. Each such register contains a complete and correct list of the fixed assets of the applicable Acquired Company as of the date specified.

Section 3.07 Condition and Sufficiency of Assets.

(a) The buildings, plants, structures, and equipment owned or leased by the Acquired Companies are structurally sound, in good operating condition and repair, and adequate for the uses to which they are being put, and none of such buildings, plants, structures, or equipment is in need of maintenance or repairs other than ordinary, routine maintenance that is not material in nature or cost.

(b) The assets owned and leased by each Acquired Company constitute all the assets used in connection with the business of such Acquired Company. Such assets constitute all the assets necessary for such Acquired Company to continue to conduct its business following the Closing as it is being conducted.

Section 3.08 Accounts Receivable. All accounts receivable of each Acquired Company, whether or not reflected on the Balance Sheet, represent valid obligations arising from sales actually made or services actually performed in the Ordinary Course of Business. The accounts receivable of each Acquired Company are current and collectible net of the reserve shown on the Balance Sheet (which reserve is adequate and calculated consistent with past practice in the preparation of the Financial Statements). Except as set forth on Schedule 3.08, subject to such reserve, each of the accounts receivable either has been or will be collected in full, without any setoff, expense, or other reduction, within 90 days after the day on which it first becomes due and payable. To the Knowledge of the Founder, there is no contest, claim, defense, or right of setoff, other than returns in the Ordinary Course of Business, with respect to any account receivable. Schedule 3.08 lists and sets forth the aging of all accounts receivable as of the Balance Sheet Date.

Section 3.09 Inventories. All inventories of each Acquired Company, whether or not reflected on the Balance Sheet, consist of a quality and quantity usable and, with respect to finished goods, saleable, in the Ordinary Course of Business. No Acquired Company is in possession of any goods not owned by such Acquired Company. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.09, the inventories (other than goods in transit) of each Acquired Company are located on the premises of an Acquired Company. All inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value on a first-in, first-out basis consistent with past practice used in the preparation of the Financial Statements. The reserve for obsolescence with respect to inventories, if any, as adjusted for the passage of time, is adequate and calculated consistent with past practice. Inventories that were purchased after the Balance Sheet Date were purchased in the Ordinary Course of Business at a cost not exceeding market prices prevailing at the time of purchase for items of similar quality and quantity. The quantities of each item of inventory are not excessive, but are reasonable for the continued operation of each Acquired Company in the Ordinary Course of Business.

Section 3.10 No Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.10, no Acquired Company has any liability or obligation of any nature (whether known or unknown and whether absolute, accrued, contingent, or otherwise) other than liabilities or obligations to the extent shown on the Balance Sheet and current liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business since the date of the Balance Sheet.

Each trust created under any such Employee Plan has been determined to be exempt from taxation under Section 501(a) of the Code, and, to the Knowledge of the Founder, no circumstance exists that could result in a revocation of such exemption. No Employee Plan is intended to meet the requirements of Code Section 501(c)(9).

(j) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation or performance of any Contemplated Transaction will, directly or indirectly (with or without notice or lapse of time), result in an amendment, modification, or termination of any Employee Plan. No written or oral representation has been made to any employee or former employee of any Acquired Company promising or guaranteeing any employer payment or funding for the continuation of medical, dental, life, or disability coverage for any period of time beyond the end of the current plan year (except to the extent of coverage required under COBRA).

Each Employee Plan subject to Section 409A of the Code (“Deferred Compensation Plan”) complies in all material respects with Section 409A of the Code. No Acquired Company has (i) granted to any Person an interest in any Deferred Compensation Plan that is, or upon the lapse of a substantial risk of forfeiture with respect to such interest will be, subject to the Tax imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or (b)(4)(A) of the Code, or (ii) materially modified any Deferred Compensation Plan in a manner that could cause an interest previously granted under such plan to become subject to the Tax imposed by Section 409A(a)(1)(B) or (b)(4) of the Code.

(b)

(i) Except as provided in Section 11.07(c), the Indemnifying Person may elect to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Person by (A) giving notice to the Indemnified Person of its election to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim and (B) giving the Indemnified Person evidence acceptable to the Indemnified Person that the Indemnifying Person has adequate financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its obligations under this Article 11, in each case no later than 10 days after the Indemnified Person gives notice of the assertion of a Third-Party Claim under Section 11.07(a).

(iii) If the Indemnifying Person does not assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim in the manner and within the period provided in Section 11.07(b)(i), or if the Indemnifying Person does not diligently conduct the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnified Person may conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim at the expense of the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnifying Person shall be bound by any determination resulting from such Third-Party Claim or any compromise or settlement effected by the Indemnified Person.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Indemnified Person determines in good faith that there is a reasonable probability that a Third-Party Claim may adversely affect it or any Related Party other than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to relief under this Agreement, the Indemnified Person may, by notice to the Indemnifying Person, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Third-Party Claim.

(d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.13, Sellers consent to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding is brought against any Indemnified Person for purposes of determining any claim that an Indemnified Person may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein.

(f) With respect to any Third-Party Claim subject to this Article XI, the parties shall cooperate in a manner to preserve in full (to the extent possible) the confidentiality of all confidential information and the attorney-client and work-product privileges. In connection therewith, each party agrees that:

(i) It shall use its best efforts, in respect of any Third-Party Claim in which it has assumed or participated in the defense, to avoid production of confidential information (consistent with applicable law and rules of procedure); and

(ii) All communications between any party and counsel responsible for or participating in the defense of any Third-Party Claim shall, to the extent possible, be made so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(g) Any claim under this Article XI for any matter involving a Third-Party Claim shall be indemnified, paid, or reimbursed promptly. If the Indemnified Person shall for any reason assume the defense of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Person shall reimburse the Indemnified Person on a monthly basis for the costs of investigation and the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person.

Section 11.08 Other Claims. A claim under this Article XI for any matter not involving a Third-Party Claim may be made by notice to each Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, and shall be indemnified, paid, or reimbursed promptly after such notice.

Section 11.09 Strict Liability or Indemnitee Negligence. THE PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE XI SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS BASED UPON PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE ACTS, CLAIMS, OR LEGAL REQUIREMENTS (INCLUDING ANY PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH LAW, OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES, OR OTHER LEGAL REQUIREMENT) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM RELIEF IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR PROVES THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY, OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE PERSON SEEKING RELIEF, OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY IMPOSED UPON THE PERSON SEEKING RELIEF.

Each party to this Agreement, for itself and its successors, transferees and assigns, hereby acknowledges and agrees that, following the Closing, except for any fraud or willful and material breach by any party, the indemnification provision set forth in this Article XI shall be the sole and exclusive remedies of the parties hereto for any breach or inaccuracy of any Person’s representations, warranties, covenants or other obligations contained in this Agreement, and no party hereto (or any other Person) will have any other entitlement, remedy or recourse, whether in law, contract, tort or otherwise, in respect of any such breach or inaccuracy.
