(b)                                 Sellers are the sole legal and beneficial
owners of the Interests, free and clear of any and all liens, claims, and
encumbrances, with full power to transfer the same as contemplated herein.

 

(c)                                  Sellers are not parties to or bound by any

power and authority to enter into, perform and carry out all of its duties and
obligations in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions

necessary organizational action on the part of Buyer.  This Agreement is (or will be when executed and delivered
pursuant hereto) the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable
in accordance with its terms.

 

2

 

(c)                                  Neither the
execution and delivery of this Agreement by Buyer, nor Buyer’s compliance with
any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement, nor the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby, will conflict with or result in a violation
of, or constitute a material default under, its articles of organization,
regulations or any other agreement, contract or commitment to which it is a party;
nor will the performance by Buyer of its obligations hereunder violate any
judgment, order, injunction, decree, regulation or ruling of any court or
governmental authority to which Buyer is subject.

made to such party in executing this Agreement, and none of the parties is

7.                                      Binding Effect.  This
Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

 

8.                                      Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed
by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without
reference to its conflict of laws rules.

 

9.                                      No Brokers.  Each party represents and
warrants that it has dealt with no broker or finder in connection with the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and that no broker or other person
is entitled to any commission or finder’s fee in connection with this
transaction.  Each party agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party against any commission or
finder’s fee alleged to be payable because of any act, omission or statement of
the indemnifying party.

 

10.                               Severability.  If
any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any
court of competent jurisdiction, it is the intent of all of the parties that
all other provisions of this Agreement be construed to remain fully valid,
enforceable and binding on the parties.

To the extent that OutBack decides to provide a Service through an independent contractor, OutBack shall consult with and obtain the prior approval of WBOW.  Such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and, if given, shall be given within 10 working days.

 

2.3.  Standard of Care.

Furthermore, OutBack shall maintain WBOW records confidential and segregated from the records of other companies, consistent with WBOW’s status as the subsidiary of a public company.

Such good faith cooperation will include providing electronic access to systems used in connection with Services and using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all consents, licenses, sublicenses or approvals necessary to permit each Party to perform its obligations. The Parties will cooperate with each other in making such information available as needed in the event of any and all internal or external audits, whether in the United States or any other country.  If this Agreement is terminated in whole or in part, the Parties will cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in order to effect an efficient transition and to minimize the disruption to the business of both Parties, including the assignment or transfer of the rights and obligations under any contracts.  The Parties covenant and agree to deal with each other fairly and in good faith.

8.1.  Tax Indemnification by OutBack.  OutBack agrees to pay all withholding and other taxes required by any local, state or federal law with respect to OutBack’s employees, agrees to accept the exclusive liability for such taxes, and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless WBOW and its directors, officers, employees, agents or permitted assigns (each, a “WBOW Party”) against any such tax which may be assessed.
 
8.2  Indemnification by WBOW.  WBOW shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless OutBack, its controlling persons, if any, directors, officers, employees, agents and permitted assigns (each, an “OutBack Party”) from and against all liabilities, claims, damages, losses and expenses (including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) of any kind or nature (collectively referred to as “Damages”), of third parties caused by or arising in connection with the performance of the Services, except to the extent that Damages were caused directly or indirectly by the gross negligence of any OutBack Party.
 
8.3  Indemnification Procedures.  A party entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (an “Indemnified Party”) shall, with respect to any claim made against such Indemnified Party for which indemnification is available, notify the other party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the nature of the claim as soon as practicable but not more than ten days after the Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion of the claim.  Upon receipt of notice of the assertion of a claim, the Indemnifying Party may, at its option, assume the defense of the claim, and if so, the Indemnifying Party shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in, and to control any such action, and the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.  An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall an Indemnifying Party settle any such action without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party a release from all liability with respect to the claim. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense of any claim for which indemnification is available and shall furnish such records, information, testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may reasonably be requested.  For purposes of this section 8.3, references to a “claim” shall be construed broadly, so as to encompass all claims made against the Indemnified Party in a legal action for which indemnification is available under this article VIII.  The Indemnifying Party shall pay all amounts for which it is responsible under this article VIII, promptly and in any event within 10 days of the date any such amounts are incurred.

If there is a material breach of this Agreement that has not been corrected within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such breach, and such matter has not been resolved by the Parties’ executives within sixty (60) days of receipt of notice of such breach, the Parties (or either of them) shall submit such matter to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in Dallas, Texas for resolution by a panel of three neutral arbitrators under the commercial arbitration rules of the AAA.
