All such returns and reports are true, correct and complete. The charges, accruals and reserves shown in the Financial Statements in respect of Taxes, if any, for all fiscal periods to date are adequate, and nothing has occurred subsequent to the date of such Financial Statements which makes such charges, accruals or reserves inadequate. There are no material unpaid Taxes assessed or proposed by any Governmental Authority for additional Taxes for which the Company does not have adequate reserves for any fiscal year.  All monies required to be withheld by the Company from employees for income taxes, Social Security and unemployment insurance taxes have been collected or withheld, and either paid to the respective Governmental Authority or set aside in accounts for such purpose, or accrued, reserved against, and entered upon the books of the Company.

4.08

Real Property Owned or Leased.  A list and legal description of any real property (together with any improvements thereon) leased to or by Company or in which Company has any interest, is set forth at Schedule 4.08 hereto. All such leased real property is held subject to written leases or other agreements which are valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms, and there are no existing defaults or events of default, or events which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute defaults, thereunder on the part of Company, except for such defaults, if any, which are not material in character, amount or extent and do not, severally or in the aggregate, materially detract from the value or interfere with the present use of the property subject to such lease or affect the validity, enforceability or assignability of such lease or otherwise materially impair the Business of the Company. Neither Company nor the Seller has any Knowledge of any default or claimed or purported or alleged default or state of facts which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a material default on the part of any other party in the performance of any obligation to be performed or paid by such other party under any lease referred to in or submitted as a part of Schedule 4.08 hereto. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.14 hereto, the transfer of the Shares and the consummation of the Transaction contemplated by this SPA will in no way affect the continuation, validity and effectiveness of any such lease or require the Consent of any third party under any such lease. The Company has furnished to Buyer true and correct copies of all leases, deeds, title reports and legal descriptions of the real property referred to or set forth at Schedule 4.08 hereto.


4.09

Title to Assets.  Except as set forth in Schedule 4.09 hereto, the Company has good and marketable title to all of its properties and assets used in its Business or reflected in the Financial Statements, subject in each case to no Lien other than Liens listed on Schedule 4.09. The exceptions set forth in Schedule 4.09 hereto, if any, do not, severally or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Business of the Company.

POST CLOSING COVENANTS


6.01

Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made in this SPA or in any Exhibit, Schedule, Instrument, certificate or document delivered herewith or at the Closing shall survive until the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Closing Date.  


6.02

Obligation of the Company and the Seller to Indemnify. The Company and the Seller hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify, defend, save and hold the Buyer (and their respective members, managers, directors, officers, employees and agents) harmless from and against any and all damage, liability, loss, expense, assessment, judgment or deficiency of any nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs and expenses incident to any suit, action or proceeding) (together “Losses”) incurred or sustained by such indemnified parties which arise out of or result from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of the Company or the Seller set forth in Article IV, and (ii) the breach of or failure to perform any covenant of the Company and the Seller set forth in this SPA (including, but not limited to, any post-closing covenant). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) in no event will the Buyer be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless or until the aggregate Losses suffered by Buyer exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand ($150,000.00) Dollars, whereupon all Losses suffered by Buyer shall be subject to indemnification hereunder.


6.03

Obligation of Buyer to Indemnify.  The Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, save and hold the Company, their respective members, managers, directors, officer, employees, agents and the Seller harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred or sustained by such indemnified parties which arise out of or results from (i) the breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer set forth Article V above; (ii) the breach of or failure to perform any covenant of the Buyer set forth in this SPA.

The indemnifying party will have the right to participate in, or assume, at its own expense, the defense of any such claim or process (with counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party) or settlement thereof. After notice from the indemnifying party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to the indemnified party for any legal or other expense incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such defense.

With respect to any matter which is the subject of any such claim and as to which the indemnified party fails to give the other party such notice as aforesaid, and such failure adversely affects the ability of the indemnifying party to defend such claim or materially increases the amount of indemnification which the indemnifying party is obligated to pay hereunder, the amount of indemnification which the indemnified party will be entitled to receive will be reduced to an amount which the indemnified party would have been entitled to receive had such notice been timely given. No settlement of any such claim as to which the indemnifying party has not elected to assume the defense thereof will be made without the prior written consent of the indemnifying party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
