(b) For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.13 does not limit the ability of the Company to do any of the transactions permitted under Section 6.01.

 

SECTION 6.14.  Additional Tax Matters. (a) On the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company files its tax reports with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) for fiscal year 2009 or (ii) September 15, 2010, the Buyer shall cause the Company (i) to pay to each of the Selling Members, by cashier’s check or wire transfer to bank accounts designated by each Selling Member, and (ii) to pay to the tax authorities on behalf of RAS, Inc., the amount equal to 40% of the taxable income of the Company for fiscal year 2009 as reported to the IRS (the “2009 Tax”) to such Selling Member or RAS, Inc., as the case may be, up to an aggregate amount of $550,000 for all Selling Members and RAS Inc. minus the amount of any taxes paid or to be paid, on a pro forma basis, on the taxable income of RAS Israel for fiscal year 2009.  The Buyer and the Company shall apportion the 2009 Tax among the Selling Members and RAS, Inc. on the basis of their percentage unitholdings in the Company in 2009 as set forth in Schedule A.

 

(b) In the event that the tax owed by the Selling Members and RAS Inc. by virtue of their ownership interests in the Company during fiscal year 2009 (the “2009 Actual Tax”), plus the amount of any taxes paid or to be paid, on a pro forma basis, on the taxable income of RAS Israel for fiscal year 2009,exceeds $550,000in the aggregate, then Buyer shall cause the Company (i) to pay to each of the Selling Members, by cashier’s check or wire transfer to bank accounts designated by each Selling Member, and (ii) to pay to the tax authorities on behalf of RAS, Inc., the amount of tax in excess of $550,000 for fiscal year 2009, up to (but no more than) the amount, if any, then available under the $150,000 “basket” of Section 2.06(d) of the Indemnification Agreement, and any such payment shall be deemed a use of the “basket” to such dollar amount.  The Buyer and the Company shall apportion any payments under this Section 6.12(b) among the Selling Members and RAS Inc. on the basis of percentage unitholdings during fiscal year 2009 as set forth in Schedule A.

 

  

56

  

 

(c) In the event that the 2009 Actual Tax exceeds the then available “basket”, the Selling Members' Representative shall have the right to commence an arbitration asserting that such excess amount is the result of changes by the Buyer from the tax methodology planned by the Company for 2009 as demonstrated by Exhibit F.  The arbitrator shall determine whether the tax methodology planned by the Company for 2009 was reasonable and whether the amount of the 2009 Tax would have been lower if the Company would have used the tax methodology planned by the Company for 2009 and shall award to the prevailing party the cost and expenses of the arbitration, including reasonable attorney fees.  If the Selling Members’ Representative is the prevailing party, the arbitrator shall award to the Selling Members' Representative, on behalf of the Selling Members and RAS Inc., the difference between the 2009 Tax and the amount that the 2009 Tax would have been had the Company used the tax methodology planned by the Company for 2009.  The arbitration shall be held before a single arbitrator pursuant to the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any such arbitration shall take place in Fairfax County, Virginia.

 

(d) On the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company files its tax reports with the IRS for the period of fiscal year 2010 prior to the Closing or (ii) September 15, 2011, the Buyer shall cause the Company (i) to pay to each of the Selling Members, by cashier’s check or wire transfer to bank accounts designated by each Selling Member, and (ii) to pay to the tax authorities on behalf of RAS, Inc., the amount equal to 40% of the taxable income of the Company for the period of fiscal year 2010 prior to the Closing as reported to the IRS (the “2010 Tax”) to such Selling Member or RAS, Inc., as the case may be.  The Buyer and the Company shall apportion the 2010 Tax among the Selling Members and RAS, Inc. on the basis of their percentage unitholdings during the period of fiscal year 2010 prior to the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule A.

 

(e) In the event that tax is owed by the Selling Members and RAS Inc. by virtue of their ownership interests in the Company for the years prior to 2009, then the Buyer shall cause the Company (i) to pay to each of the Selling Members, by cashier’s check or wire transfer to bank accounts designated by each Selling Member, and (ii) to pay to the tax authorities on behalf of RAS Inc., the amount equal to 40% of the taxable income of the Company for the period of fiscal year for which the tax is owed up to (but not more than) the amount, if any, then available under the $150,000 “basket” of Section 2.06(d) of the Indemnification Agreement, and any such payment shall be deemed a use of the “basket” to such dollar amount.  The Buyer and the Company shall apportion any payments under this Section 6.11(e) among the Selling Members and RAS Inc. on the basis of percentage unitholdings during the respective fiscal years as shall be specified in an exhibit to be provided to the Buyer by the Selling Members’ Representative no later than the Closing Date.

SECTION 8.02.  Waiver of Rights. Each Selling Member and the Company hereby waives those provisions set forth in the Operating Agreement, or as otherwise may be required, to the extent applicable, with respect to each such Selling Member’s or the Company’s right, if any, to (i) any rights of first refusal, tag-along rights, buy-out or drag-along rights or any other rights set forth in the Operating Agreement that may be triggered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) any notice of the foregoing.

 

  

60

  

 

SECTION 8.03.  Breakup Fee.

SECTION 8.05.  Interpretation.  When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or to a Section, Subsection, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article of, a Section or Subsection of, or an Exhibit or Schedule to, this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.  The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.  Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”.  The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.  The term “or” is not exclusive.  The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”.  The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”.  The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.  Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented.  References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.  References to days mean calendar days unless otherwise specified.

 

SECTION 8.06.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more 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 of the parties and delivered to the other parties.  If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by PDF, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf the signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or PDF signature were an original thereof.

 

SECTION 8.07.  Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic and legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

  

64

  

 

SECTION 8.08.  Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  This Agreement, the Indemnification Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other agreements referenced herein, (a) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) are not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and thereto any rights or remedies (other than, in the case of the Indemnification Agreement, the Indemnitees). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the RAS Inc. Principals shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement with respect to Article VII hereof.

 

SECTION 8.09.  Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to conflict of laws.  The courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the parties and the subject matter in any matter arising out of or relating to this agreement.  The Company and each of the Selling Members and the Selling Member Representative hereby irrevocably appoint Corporation Service Company, with an office at 11 South 12th Street, Richmond, Virginia 23218, as its agent to receive on behalf of each of them service of any legal process which may be served in all such actions and proceedings. Such service may be made by mail or delivery of such process to the Company, each of the Selling Members and the Selling Member Representative in care of such agent at the agent’s address set forth above and the Company, each of the Selling Members and the Selling Member Representative hereby irrevocably authorize and direct such agent to accept such service on its behalf.  The foregoing appointment of the service agent on behalf of the Company shall only apply with respect to the service of any legal process before the Closing Date.

 

SECTION 8.10.  Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

SECTION 8.11.  Enforcement.  The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any Israeli court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity.

 

  

65

  

 

SECTION 8.12.  Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time.  This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing executed on behalf of each of the Parties.
