(ii) Buyer shall inform Nautilus promptly of the identities of those Active Employees to whom it will not make employment offers, and, if applicable, Buyer shall assist Nautilus in complying with the WARN Act as to those Active Employees.

(iii) Nautilus shall be responsible for (A) the payment of all wages and other remuneration due to Active Employees with respect to their services as employees of Nautilus through the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date; (B) the payment of any termination or severance payments and the provision of health plan continuation coverage in accordance with applicable contractual and legal requirements; provided, that Buyer shall reimburse Nautilus in full for any such termination, severance or health plan costs paid to an Active Employee who is not a Hired Active Employee, but who is employed by Buyer within four months after the Closing Date, and (C) any and all payments to Active Employees, if any, required under the WARN Act.

(iv) Nautilus shall be liable for any claims made or incurred by Active Employees and their beneficiaries through the day preceding the Closing Date under the Nautilus benefit plans. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, a charge will be deemed incurred, in the case of hospital, medical or dental benefits, when the services that are the subject of the charge are performed and, in the case of other benefits (such as disability or life insurance), when an event has occurred or when a condition has been diagnosed that entitles the employee to the benefit.

(v) All Hired Active Employees who are participants in Nautilus’ retirement plans shall retain their accrued benefits under Nautilus’ retirement plans as of the Closing Date, and Nautilus (or Nautilus’ retirement plans) shall retain sole liability for the payment of such benefits as and when such Hired Active Employees become eligible therefor under such plans.

Closing, and (b) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.13 and 3.14 shall survive for a period of two (2) years after Closing.

All of the other representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect forever thereafter (subject to any applicable statutes of limitations).

8.2 Indemnification Provisions for Buyer’s Benefit.

(a) In the event Nautilus breaches any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement, and, provided that Buyer makes a written claim for indemnification against Nautilus pursuant to Section 10.7 below within the survival period (if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 8.1 above), then Nautilus agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer harmless from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach; provided, however, that (i) Nautilus shall not have any obligation to indemnify Buyer from and against any Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach of any representation or warranty of Nautilus contained in Article 3 above until Buyer has suffered Adverse Consequences by reason of all such breaches in excess of a Seventy-Five Thousand U.S. Dollars ($75,000) aggregate deductible (after which point Nautilus will be obligated only to indemnify Buyer from and against further such Adverse Consequences); and (ii) there will be a Two Million U.S. Dollars ($2,000,000) aggregate ceiling on the obligation of Nautilus to indemnify Buyer from and against Adverse Consequences resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by breaches of the representations and warranties of Nautilus contained in Article 3 above.

(b) Nautilus further agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer harmless from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences Buyer may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any liability of Nautilus that is not an Assumed Liability (including any liability of Nautilus that becomes a liability of Buyer under any bulk transfer law of any jurisdiction, under any common law doctrine of de facto merger or successor liability, or otherwise by operation of law). The $75,000 liability threshold and the $2,000,000 liability ceiling in Section 8.2(a) above shall not apply to Nautilus’ obligations under this Section 8.2(b).

8.3 Indemnification Provisions for Nautilus’ Benefit.

(a) In the event Buyer breaches any of its representations, warranties, and covenants contained in this Agreement, and, provided that Nautilus makes a written claim for indemnification against Buyer pursuant to Section 10.7 below within the survival period (if there is an applicable survival period pursuant to Section 8.1 above), then Buyer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Nautilus harmless, jointly and severally, from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences suffered resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the breach.

 

14


(b) Buyer further agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold Nautilus harmless, jointly and severally, from and against the entirety of any Adverse Consequences suffered resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by any Assumed Liability.

8.4 Matters Involving Third Parties.

(a) If any third party notifies any Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect to any matter (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) under this Article 8, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying Party is thereby actually and materially prejudiced.

(b) The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume the defense of the Third-Party Claim with counsel of its choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party at any time within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party must conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently thereafter in order to preserve its rights in this regard; and provided further that the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) So long as the Indemnifying Party has assumed and is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(b) above, (i) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (not to be unreasonably withheld) unless the judgment or proposed settlement involves only the payment of money damages by the Indemnifying Party and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party and (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld).

(d) In the event the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 8.4(b) above, however, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith) and (ii) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 8.

8.5 Determination of Adverse Consequences. The amount of any Adverse Consequences shall be determined net of any insurance proceeds for purposes of this Article 8.

 

15


Indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party without reduction for any Tax Benefits available to the Indemnified Party. However, to the extent that the Indemnified Party recognizes Tax Benefits as a result of any Adverse Consequences, the Indemnified Party shall pay the amount of such Tax Benefits (but not in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Adverse Consequences) to the Indemnifying Party as such Tax Benefits are actually recognized by the Indemnified Party. For this purpose, the Indemnified Party shall be deemed to recognize a tax benefit (“Tax Benefit”) with respect to a taxable year if, and to the extent that, the Indemnified Party’s cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by excluding any Tax items attributable to the Adverse Consequences from all taxable years, exceeds the Indemnified Party’s actual cumulative liability for Taxes through the end of such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to the Adverse Consequences and the receipt of indemnification payment under this Article 8 for all taxable years (to the extent permitted by relevant Tax law and treating such Tax items as the last items taken into account for any taxable year). All indemnification payments under this Article 8 shall be deemed adjustments to the Purchase Price.

8.6 Liquidated Damages. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.7, if the Closing fails to occur because Nautilus exercises its right to terminate this Agreement under Section 9.1(c), or because of Buyer’s other breach of or default under this Agreement, Buyer shall pay to Nautilus the amount of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) in liquidated damages.

8.7 Exclusive Remedy. Buyer and Nautilus acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnification and liquidated damages provisions in this Article 8 shall be the exclusive remedy of Buyer and Nautilus with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in the event that the Closing fails to occur by reason of a breach of this Agreement by Nautilus, Buyer shall have the right to sue for specific performance of this Agreement, and (b) in the event that Closing fails to occur by reason of a breach of this Agreement by Buyer, Nautilus shall have the right, in lieu of receiving liquidated damages per Section 8.6 above, to sue for specific performance of this Agreement. Buyer hereby waives any statutory, equitable, or common law rights or remedies relating to any environmental, health or safety matters; provided, however, that in the event of a breach by Nautilus of its representations and warranties with respect to such matters in Article 3 above, Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies available to Buyer by reason of any such breach.

ARTICLE 9 - TERMINATION

9.1 Termination of Agreement. The Parties may terminate this Agreement as provided below:

(a) Buyer and Nautilus may terminate this Agreement by mutual written consent at any time prior to the Closing;

(b) Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Nautilus at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event Nautilus has breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Buyer has notified Nautilus of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a

 

16


period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach, or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before February 26, 2010, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 7.1 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from Buyer itself breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement); and

(c) Nautilus may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Buyer at any time prior to the Closing (i) in the event Buyer has breached any material representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement in any material respect, Nautilus has notified Buyer of the breach, and the breach has continued without cure for a period of thirty (30) days after the notice of breach or (ii) if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before February 26, 2010, by reason of the failure of any condition precedent under Section 7.2 hereof (unless the failure results primarily from Nautilus itself breaching any representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement).

9.2 Effect of Termination. If any Party terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 above, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder shall terminate without any liability of any Party to the other Party (except for any liability of any Party then in breach); provided, however, that the confidentiality provisions contained in Section 5.5 above shall survive termination.

ARTICLE 10 - MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Press Releases and Public Announcements.

SCHEDULE 2.3

PURCHASE PRICE CALCULATION AND PAYMENT TERMS

1. Certain Definitions. The following are defined terms used in this Schedule 2.3:

(a) Agreement. “Agreement” means that certain Asset Purchase Agreement to which this Schedule 2.3 is attached.

(b) Inventory. “Inventory” means the physical inventory of the Commercial Fitness Equipment to be taken by Nautilus before the Closing in order to create the Physical Inventory Report. The Inventory consists of three (3) categories of goods: Finished Goods, Raw Materials and Spare Parts.

(c) Inventory Purchase Price. “Inventory Purchase Price” means the portion of the Purchase Price to be paid for the Inventory, exclusive of Finished Goods and items of Raw Materials listed on Table 2.3A as having a Valuation % of zero percent (0%), or a designation of “N/A,” in Column 5 of Part B.

(d) Physical Inventory Report. “Physical Inventory Report” means the report prepared by Nautilus to record the quantities of the items included as part of the Commercial Fitness Equipment being sold to Buyer. The Physical Inventory Report will be subject to adjustment as of the Closing to reflect the sales made by Nautilus between the date of the Inventory and the close of business on 18 February 2010.

(e) Standard Cost. “Standard Cost” means Nautilus’s standard cost for the items listed in Table 2.3A (determined in accordance with GAAP, before any allowances). Buyer and Nautilus have agreed on the Standard Cost of the items of Inventory listed on Table 2.3A.

2. Methodology: As noted in Section 2.3 of the Agreement, the Purchase Price will be calculated with respect to the information contained in this Schedule 2.3 concerning the agreed value of (a) the Tangible Personal Property and (b) the Inventory. The portion of the Purchase Price payable for the Tangible Personal Property is set forth in Section 2(a) below and shall be paid as provided in Section 4 below. The Inventory Purchase Price has not yet been finally determined. It will be determined pursuant to Section 2(b) below. The Inventory Purchase Price has been further allocated among the following two (2) categories: Raw Materials and Spare Parts. The Inventory Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 4(b) below. Finished Goods listed in Part A of the attached Table 2.3A will be sold by Buyer after the Closing in accordance with Section 2.8 of the Agreement. The Finished Goods will not be taken into account in calculating the Inventory Purchase Price. The Raw Materials are listed in Parts B and C of Table 2.3A. The Spare Parts are listed in Part D of Table 2.3A.

(a) Tangible Personal Property: The portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Tangible Personal Property shall be Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000).


(b) Inventory: Prior to the Closing, Nautilus conducted the Inventory and prepared the Physical Inventory Report to reflect the results of the Inventory. The Physical Inventory Report will be used to determine the Inventory Purchase Price, as more fully provided below. As noted above, the Physical Inventory Report will be adjusted as of the close of business on February 18, 2010 to reflect sales of items of Inventory after the date on which the Inventory was performed. Table 2.3A also illustrates that the Inventory Purchase Price will be calculated by multiplying the estimated Standard Cost in column 4 by the applicable Valuation % in column 5. Column 6 on line E of Table 2.3A shows the currently estimated aggregate amount of the Inventory Purchase Price, i.e. $3,284,825. The following provisions of this Section 2(b) describe how the Inventory Purchase Price will be determined.

(i) Raw Materials (Parts B and C): Table 2.3A contains two raw materials-materials-related categories – “Raw Materials and WIP” and “Raw Materials at Supplier.” The term “Raw Materials” shall mean and include both such categories. This Section 2(b)(i) shall apply to all Raw Materials. The portion of the Inventory Purchase Price to be paid for the various items of Raw Materials listed in column 1 of Parts B and C shall be determined by multiplying the Standard Cost in Column 4 by the corresponding Valuation % in Column 5. To illustrate, the portion of the Inventory Purchase Price to be paid for the Raw Materials listed in column 1 on line B.3 will be $330,289 (i.e. $660,578 x 50%).

(k) The Debtor will furnish to the Secured Party such accurate statements and amended schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other materials evidencing or reports pertaining to the Collateral, including, without limitation to the generality of the foregoing, accurate records of all Collateral not sold, as the Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

(a) All rights and remedies provided by law, including, without limitation, those provided by the UCC;

(b) All rights and remedies provided in this Agreement; and

(c) All rights and remedies provided in the Note or any other agreement, document or instrument pertaining to the Secured Obligations.

Right of Secured Party to Dispose of Collateral, etc. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, but subject to the provisions of the UCC or other applicable law, the Secured Party shall have the right to take possession of the Collateral and, in addition thereto, the right to enter upon any premises on which the Collateral or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom in a commercially reasonable manner. The Secured Party may require the Debtor to make the Collateral (to the extent the same is moveable) available to the Secured Party at a place to be designated by the Secured Party that is reasonably convenient to both parties or transfer any information related to the Collateral to the Secured Party by electronic medium. Unless the Collateral is perishable, subject to a rapid decline in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, the Secured Party will give the Debtor at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice in accordance with Section 14 hereof of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is to be made. Any such notice shall be deemed to meet any requirement hereunder or under any applicable law (including the UCC) that reasonable notification be given of the time and place of such sale or other disposition.

9. Proceeds of Collateral. After deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of collection, storage, custody, sale or other disposition and delivery (including legal costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and all reasonable other charges against the Collateral, the residue of the proceeds of any such sale or disposition shall be applied to the payment of the Secured Obligations by the Secured Party in accordance with the terms of the Note and any surplus shall be returned to the Debtor or to any person or party lawfully entitled thereto (including, if

10. Waivers, etc. The Debtor hereby waives presentment, demand, notice, protest and, except as is otherwise provided herein or in the Note, all other demands and notices in connection with this Agreement or the enforcement of the Secured Party’s rights hereunder or in connection with any Secured Obligations or any Collateral; consents to and waives notice of the granting of renewals, extensions of time for payment or other indulgences to the Debtor or to any account debtor in respect of any account receivable or to any other third party, or substitution, release or surrender of any Collateral, the addition or release of persons primarily or secondarily liable on any Secured Obligation or on any account receivable or other Collateral, the acceptance of partial payments on any Secured Obligation or on any account receivable or other Collateral and/or the settlement or compromise thereof. No delay or omission on the part of the Secured Party or the Secured Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right hereunder. Any waiver of any such right on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right on any future occasion. The Debtor’s waivers under this section have been made voluntarily, intelligently and knowingly and after the Debtor has been apprised and counseled by its attorneys as to the nature thereof and its possible alternative rights.

11. Termination; Assignment, etc. When all obligations of the Debtor owing to the Secured Party under the Note have been paid or performed in full, this Agreement and the security interest in the Collateral created hereby shall automatically terminate without any further action by the Debtor or Secured Party. In such event, the Secured Party agrees to execute appropriate releases of liens on the Collateral upon the request of the Debtor and at the Debtor’s expense, and to authorize the Debtor to file terminations of the liens and security interests granted hereby. No waiver by the Secured Party or by any other holder of Secured Obligations of any default shall be effective unless in writing, nor operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. In the event of a sale or assignment of part or all of the Secured Obligations by the Secured Party, the Secured Party may assign or transfer its respective rights and interest under this Agreement in whole or in part to the purchaser or purchasers of such Secured Obligations, whereupon such purchaser or purchasers shall become vested with all of the powers, rights and obligations of the Secured Party hereunder.

12. Reinstatement. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11 hereof, this Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any amount received by the Secured Party in respect of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Debtor or upon the appointment of any intervener or conservator of, or trustee or similar official for the Debtor or any substantial part of any of its properties, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
