Schedule 4.15(a)(i) sets forth a complete and accurate list and description of all agreements, arrangements, commitments, policies or understandings of any kind (whether written or oral) (A) which relate to employee benefits; (B) which pertain to present or former employees, retirees, directors or independent contractors (or their beneficiaries, dependents or spouses) of the Company or their predecessors in interest; and (C) which are currently or expected to be adopted, maintained by, sponsored by, or contributed to by the Company, any of its predecessors in interest or any employer which, under Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"), would constitute a single employer with the Company or as to which the Company, any of its predecessors in interest or any affiliate has any ongoing liability or obligation whatsoever (collectively, "Employee Benefit Plans"), including, but not limited to, all: (1) employee benefit plans as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"); (2) all other deferred compensation, early retirement, incentive, profit-sharing, thrift, stock ownership, stock appreciation rights, bonus, stock option, stock purchase, welfare or vacation, or other nonqualified benefit plans or arrangements; and (3) trusts, group annuity contracts, insurance policies or other funding media for the plans and arrangements described hereinabove.

Except as set forth on Schedule 4.15(a)(ii), the Company, its predecessors in interest and all affiliates have complied with all of their respective obligations with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans (including, but not limited to, (A) filing or distributing all reports or notices required by ERISA or the Code and (B) complying with all requirements of Part 6 of ERISA and Code Section 4980B) and have maintained the Employee Benefit Plans in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to ERISA and the Code).

The Company and the Shareholders have made available to AQUM true, correct and complete copies of all documents relating to the Employee Benefit Plans that AQUM has requested, including, but not limited to: (A) all plan texts, amendments, trust instruments and other agreements adopted or entered into in connection with each of the Employee Benefit Plans; (B) all insurance and annuity contracts related to any Employee Benefit Plan; (C) the notices and election forms used to notify employees and their dependents of their continuation coverage rights under the Company’s group health plans (under Code Section 4980B(f) and ERISA Section 606), if applicable; and (D) the most recently available Form 5500 annual reports, certified financial statements, actuarial reports, summary plan descriptions and favorable determination letters, if applicable, for Employee Benefit Plans.  Since the date such documents were supplied to AQUM, no plan amendments have been adopted, no changes to the documents have been made, and no such amendments or changes shall be adopted or made prior to the Closing Date.


 


(iv)   Agreements to Create, Continue or Terminate Plans.  Neither the Company, nor its predecessors in interest nor any affiliate has any agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding, whether legally binding or not, to create any additional Employee Benefit Plan or to continue, modify, change in any material respect, or terminate any existing Employee Benefit Plan.


 


(v)   Agency Review, Taxes and Fiduciary Liability.  None of the Employee Benefit Plans is currently under investigation, audit or review by the Department of Labor, the Internal Revenue Service or any other federal or state agency or is liable for any federal, state, local or foreign taxes.  There is no transaction in connection with which the Company, any affiliate or any fiduciary of any of the Employee Benefit Plans could be subject to either (A) a civil penalty assessed pursuant to ERISA Section 502, (B) a tax imposed by Code Section 4975 or (C) liability for a breach of fiduciary responsibility under ERISA.

(b)           Defined Benefit Plan Matters.


 


List of Defined Benefit Plans.  Schedule 4.15(b) (i) identifies by name all of the Employee Benefit Plans that are pension plans within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(2) which are subject to Title IV of ERISA (the "Defined Benefit Plans"), and specifically identifies each of such Defined Benefit Plans that are multiemployer plans within the meaning of ERISA Section 3(37) (A) as multiemployer plans.  There is no Defined Benefit Plan or multiemployer plan maintained by any affiliate under which the Company currently has or potentially may have any obligation or liability whatsoever, including, but not limited to any liability which would be identified by or arise from the issues detailed in this subsection (b).


 


PBGC Premiums and Termination Liability.  No liability to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation ("PBGC") has been incurred with respect to the Defined Benefit Plans.  All premiums due and payable to the PBGC with respect to the Defined Benefit Plans have been paid in a timely manner.  The PBGC has not instituted proceedings to terminate any of the Defined Benefit Plans.  No event has occurred, and there exists no condition or set of circumstances, which could result in the involuntary termination of any of the Defined Benefit Plans by the PBGC pursuant to ERISA Section 4042.  Moreover, even if a Defined Benefit Plan were terminated voluntarily pursuant to ERISA Section 4041, neither the Company, its predecessors in interest nor any affiliate would have any liability to the PBGC as a result of the termination.


 


Reportable Events.  No notice of a reportable event within the meaning of ERISA Section 4043(b) has been filed with the PBGC by the plan administrator of any of the Defined Benefit Plans, nor has any such reportable event occurred for which a notice to the PBGC is required.


 


Full Funding on a Termination Basis.  The current present value of all projected benefit obligations under each of the Defined Benefit Plans did not, as of the latest valuation date, exceed the then current value of the assets allocable to such benefit liabilities, based on reasonable actuarial assumptions currently used for such Defined Benefit Plan.  In addition, each of the Defined Benefit Plans is fully funded on a termination basis, such that the net fair market value of the assets equals or exceeds the present value of the accrued benefits under such Defined Benefit Plan, based upon the actuarial assumptions required by the PBGC for determining benefits on a termination basis.


 


No Accumulated Funding Deficiency.  No accumulated funding deficiency as defined in ERISA Section 302(a) (2), whether or not waived and regardless of the reason arising, exists with respect to any Defined Benefit Plan.


 


Termination.  None of the Defined Benefit Plans has been terminated or partially terminated nor have there been any events which might constitute grounds for such a termination or partial termination.


 


4.16   Collective Bargaining.  Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16, there are no labor contracts, collective bargaining agreements, letters of understanding or other arrangements, formal or informal, with any union or labor organization covering any of employees of the Company and none of said employees are represented by any union or labor organization.  The Company and the Shareholders have made available to AQUM a true, correct and complete copy of each agreement listed on Schedule 4.16.

Neither the Company nor any Shareholder knows or has reason to know of any labor strike or other labor trouble actually pending, being threatened against, or affecting the Company.  Relations between management and labor are amicable and there have not been, nor are there presently, any attempts to organize non-union employees, nor are there plans for any such attempts.

34

The claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments of the AQUM Indemnified Parties described in this Section 10.01 as to which the AQUM Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “AQUM Losses”.


 


10.02   Indemnification Obligations of AQUM.  AQUM shall indemnify and hold harmless the Shareholders and their heirs, executors, successors and assigns (the "Shareholder Indemnified Parties") from, against and in respect of any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments (at equity or at law, including statutory and common) and damages whenever arising or incurred (including amounts paid in settlement, costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of or relating to:

The claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, fines and judgments of the Shareholder Indemnified Parties described in this Section 10.02 as to which the Shareholder Indemnified Parties are entitled to indemnification are collectively referred to as “Shareholder Losses”.


 


10.03   Indemnification Procedure.


 


    (a)   Promptly following receipt by a AQUM Indemnified Party to a Shareholder Indemnified Party, as applicable (an "Indemnified Party") of notice by a third party (including any Governmental Entity) of any complaint, dispute or claim or the commencement of any audit, investigation, action or proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to receive payment from the other party for any AQUM Losses or any Shareholder Losses (as the case may be), such Indemnified Party shall notify AQUM or the Shareholders, as the case may be (the “Indemnifying Party”), provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from liability hereunder with respect to such claim


 




  





35











  






 


only if, and only to the extent that, such failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party results in the forfeiture by the Indemnifying Party of rights and defenses otherwise available to the Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) days thereafter assuming full responsibility for any AQUM Losses or Shareholder Losses (as the case may be) resulting from such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, to assume the defense of such audit, investigation, action or proceeding, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel.  In the event, however, that the Indemnifying Party declines or fails to assume the defense of the audit, investigation, action or proceeding on the terms provided above or to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in either case within such 20-day period, then any AQUM Losses or any Shareholder Losses (as the case may be), shall include the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for the Indemnified Party as incurred.  In any audit, investigation, action or proceeding for which indemnification is being sought hereunder the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party, whichever is not assuming the defense of such action, shall have the right to participate in such matter and to retain its own counsel at such party’s own expense.  The Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party (as the case may be) shall at all times use reasonable efforts to keep the Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party (as the case may be) reasonably apprised of the status of the defense of any matter the defense of which it is maintaining and to cooperate in good faith with each other with respect to the defense of any such matter.


 


(b)   No Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, unless (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume and maintain the defense of such claim pursuant to Section 10.03(a) or (ii) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party and its officers, directors, employees and affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim.  An Indemnifying Party may not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to which indemnification is being sought hereunder unless (x) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party and its officers, directors, employees and affiliates from all liability arising out of such claim, (y) does not contain any admission or statement suggesting any wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party and (z) does not contain any equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party or any of the Indemnified Party’s affiliates.


 


(c)   In the event an Indemnified Party claims a right to payment pursuant hereto, such Indemnified Party shall send written notice of such claim to the appropriate Indemnifying Party (a “Notice of Claim”).  Such Notice of Claim shall specify the basis for such claim.  The failure by any Indemnified Party so to notify the Indemnifying party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party with respect to any claim made pursuant to this Section 10.03(c), it being understood that notices for claims in respect of a breach of a representation or warranty must be delivered prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation or warranty under Section 10.04.  In the event the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article or the amount thereof, the claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a


 









  





36











  






 


liability of the Indemnifying Party under this Section 10.03(c), and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined.  In the event the Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, such Indemnified Party and the appropriate Indemnifying Party shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and, within five (5) business days following the final determination of the merits and amount of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party immediately available funds in an amount equal to such claim as determined hereunder.


 


10.04   Survival Period.  The representations and warranties of the parties contained herein shall not be extinguished by the Closing, but shall survive the Closing for, and all claims for indemnification in connection therewith shall be asserted not later than, three (3) years following the Closing Date; provided, however, that the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.01 (Power, Authority and Organization of the Shareholders), Section 3.03 (Ownership of the Company Shares), Section 4.01 (Organization and Authorization), Section 4.02 (Authorized and Outstanding Stock), Section 4.09 (Real Property), Section 4.10 (Personal Property), Section 4.15 (Employee Benefits), Section 4.16 (Collective Bargaining), Section 4.17 (Labor Disputes), Section 4.19 (Environmental Matters), Section 4.27 (Tax Matters), Section 4.28 (Brokerage) (collectively, the “Surviving Representations”) shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely.  The covenants and agreements of the parties hereunder shall survive without limitation as to time, and the period during which a claim for indemnification may be asserted in connection therewith shall continue indefinitely.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the close of business on the last day a claim for indemnification may be asserted hereunder, an Indemnifying Party shall have been properly notified of a claim for indemnity hereunder and such claim shall not have been finally resolved or disposed of at such date, such claim shall continue to survive and shall remain a basis for indemnity hereunder until such claim is finally resolved or disposed of in accordance with the terms hereof.


 


10.05   Liability Limits.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the AQUM Indemnified Parties shall not make a claim against the Company or the Shareholders for indemnification under Section 10.01(d) for AQUM Losses unless and until the aggregate amount of such AQUM Losses exceeds $15,000.00 (the “AQUM Basket”), in which event the AQUM Indemnified Parties may claim indemnification for all AQUM Losses, including the initial $15,000.00; provided, however, that the Surviving Representations shall not be subject to the AQUM Basket.  The total aggregate amount of the liability of the Company and the Shareholders for AQUM Losses with respect any claims made pursuant to Section 10.01(d) shall be limited to $10,000.00 (the “AQUM Cap”); provided, however, that total aggregate amount of the liability of the Company and the Shareholders for AQUM Losses arising out of fraud or willful misconduct shall not be subject to any limits.

10.06   Investigations.  The respective representations and warranties of the parties contained in this Agreement or any certificate or other document delivered by any party at or prior to the Closing and the rights to indemnification set forth in this Article X shall not be deemed waived or otherwise affected by any investigation made, or knowledge acquired, by a party.


 


10.07   Set-Off.  The Parties shall be entitled to set-off any amount or right it may be entitled to pursuant to this Agreement against any amount, right or obligations owed to the Shareholders or AQUM under this Agreement or any agreement or documents executed and delivered by a Shareholder or AQUM.

   (d)           By either the Shareholders or AQUM in writing, without liability, if there shall be any order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental or regulatory agency binding on AQUM, the Shareholders or the Company, which prohibits or restrains AQUM, the Shareholders or the Company from consummating the transactions contemplated hereby, provided that AQUM, the Shareholders and the Company shall have used their reasonable, good faith efforts to have any such order, writ, injunction or decree lifted and the same shall not have been lifted within 30 days after entry, by any such court or governmental or regulatory agency; or


 


   (e)           By either the Shareholders or AQUM, in writing, without liability, if for any reason the Second Closing has not occurred by such date as provided in the Shareholder Agreement relating to the exercise of the Option and or the Put, other than as a result of the breach of this Agreement by the party attempting to terminate the Agreement.

4.           Right of First Refusal; Drag Along Rights, Option and Put.







(a)   First Notice.  If a Holder (the “Selling Holder”) has received a Bona Fide Offer and desires to transfer any or all of such Shareholder’s Securities (the “Offered Securities”), such Holder shall first give written notice (a “Transfer Notice”) thereof to the Company and each other Holder (“Non-Selling Holder”), identifying the proposed transferee, the number and type of Securities (i.e., Common Stock, Preferred Stock, Debentures, Warrants, or rights or options therefore) sought to be transferred, the proposed purchase price (which must be an “all cash” purchase, paid at closing) (the “Offered Price”), the terms of the proposed transaction including the proposed transaction date and if applicable, a copy of the Bona Fide Offer setting forth the terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.  Such Transfer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable offer by the Selling Holder to sell all of the Offered Securities to the Non-Selling Holders at the Offered Price and upon the same terms and conditions as the Selling Holder is willing to sell the Offered Securities to the proposed transferee.  Once given, a Transfer Notice may not be modified or amended except with the written consent of the Non-Selling Holders.  Within thirty (30) days following the giving of the Transfer Notice (the “First Offer Period”) each Non-Selling Holder shall initially be entitled to elect, by giving written notice of such election to the Selling Holder, the Company, and the other Non-Selling Holders, to purchase his or her Pro Rata portion of the Offered Securities.







(b)           Second Notice.  If and to the extent that the Non-Selling Holders do not elect, by notice in writing given to the Selling Holder, the Company and the other Non-Selling Holders within the First Offer Period, the remaining Offered Securities shall then be deemed to be offered by the Selling Holder for a period of ten (10) days from the end of the First Offer Period (the “Second Offer Period”), for the Offered Price and upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice to the Non-Selling Holders, if any, who elected during the First Offer Period to purchase all of the Offered Stock to which they were then entitled (such Non-Selling Holders being the “Electing Holders”), together with a statement of the number of shares of the Offered Securities as to which no election has been made.  Each of such Electing Holders shall deliver a notice to the Selling Holder and the Company within such Second Offer Period setting forth the number of remaining Offered Securities which he or she desires to purchase, and if the aggregate number of shares for which an election is made exceed the remaining Offered Stock, each Electing Holder shall be entitled to purchase such portion of the remaining Offered Securities as the number of Securities (of the same type as the Offered Securities) then owned by him or her bears to the number of shares of Securities (of the same type as the Offered Securities) then owned by all of the Electing Holders.









  





51











  






(c)           Election of Transferor.  In the event that the Non-Selling Holders do not agree to purchase all of the Offered Securities offered for sale to them by the Selling Holder, or if any of the Non-Selling Holders who agree to purchase any such Securities subsequently fail to do so, the Selling Holder shall have the right, subject to Section 4(d), to dispose of all of the Offered Stock within ninety (90) days following the end of the Second Offer Period to the original proposed transferee, at a price not lower than the Offered Price, and upon the terms stipulated in the Transfer Notice in all material respects.  However, as a condition to the effectiveness of such transfer, said transferee shall thereupon become a party to this Agreement as a Holder and shall confirm such fact by executing a counterpart of or joinder to this Agreement.  If a counterpart of or joinder to this Agreement is not executed, the attempted Transfer shall be void.  If such Offered Securities are not so disposed of by the Selling Holder within such ninety (90) day period, the Selling Holder shall continue to hold such Securities subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and may not sell the Securities without again complying with all of the provisions hereof.







(d)           Drag-Along Right.  If during the term of this Agreement, (i) (A) the Board of Directors identifies a third party who is willing to make a written bona fide offer to purchase all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Securities, or the Board of Directors formally recommends any such third party offer which is not solicited by the Board of Directors, or (B) any Person makes a bona fide written offer to a Holder to purchase all Securities owned by such Holder and desires to purchase additional Securities, and (ii) Holders of at least fifty one percent (51%) of the outstanding Common Stock agree in writing to sell their Securities to such third party on the same terms as set forth in the written offer, then at the request of the Holders selling Common Stock all of the Holders shall sell their Securities pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in such written offer, provided that in such transaction (X) all holders of the same class of security shall be treated identically as to such security on a pro rata basis, and (Y) the holders of Preferred Stock, if any, shall not be treated more favorably, as to this class of security, than if they had converted this security into Common Stock immediately prior to the sale and participated in such transaction as holders of the Common Stock.

If any Holder shall subscribe for less than his or her pro rata share of the Additional Securities in the first instance (excluding for such purposes such Holder) and provided any other Holder elected, by a Notice of Acceptance, to purchase all of his or her pro rata share of the Additional Securities, the Company shall notify each Holder within 5 days following the expiration of the 10 day notice period described above of the amount of Additional Securities which each Holder may purchase as a result of the failure of any Holder to elect to purchase all of his or her pro rata share, and each Holder shall then have 10 days from the delivery of such notice to indicate such additional amount if any that such Holder wishes to purchase.
