SECTION 3. Representations and Warranties of the Corporation and the
Stockholder. The Corporation represents and warrants that (and the Stockholder
represents and warrants, to the best of his knowledge, that):
(a) Organization; Capital Stock. The Corporation is a corporation
duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware and has the corporate power to carry on its business as it is now being
and contemplated to be conducted. The authorized capital stock of the
Corporation consists of 10,000 shares of Common Stock and 1,303 shares of
Preferred Stock. There are 1,020 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding
which are the only shares of capital stock of the Corporation issued and
outstanding on the date hereof. All of the issued and outstanding Common Stock
of the Corporation is duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable and is owned of record and, to the best knowledge of the
Corporation, beneficially by the persons, and in the amounts, set forth on
Schedule 3(a). All the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Corporation
has been issued and sold in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and all other applicable federal and state laws
relating to the issuance and sale of securities which are applicable to the
Corporation or any holder of Common Stock. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(a),
the Stockholder owns 530 shares of Common Stock free and clear of any mortgage,
pledge, hypothecation, assignment, deposit arrangement, encumbrance, lien
(statutory or other), or preference, priority, charge or other security interest
or preferential arrangement of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without
limitation, any conditional sale or other title retention agreement, any capital
lease having substantially the same economic effect as any of the foregoing, and
the filing of any financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code or
comparable law of any jurisdiction in respect of any of the foregoing) (each, a
"Lien"). Except as set forth on Schedule 3(a), there are no authorized,
outstanding or existing:
(i) proxies, voting trusts or other agreements or understandings with
respect to the voting of any capital stock of the Corporation;
-2-
(ii) securities convertible into or exchangeable for
any capital stock of the Corporation;
(iii) options, warrants or other rights to purchase or subscribe for
any capital stock of the Corporation, or securities convertible into or
exchangeable for any capital stock of the Corporation;
(iv) preemptive rights or rights of first refusal of any holder of
capital stock, or agreements of any kind relating to the issuance of any capital
stock of the Corporation, any such convertible or exchangeable securities or any
such options, warrants or rights; or
(v) stockholders' or similar agreements with respect to the voting
and/or transfer of capital stock, or agreements of any kind that may obligate
the Corporation to issue or purchase any of its securities.
(b) Subsidiaries. Schedule 3(b) identifies each of the
Corporation's Subsidiaries (as hereinafter defined), its jurisdiction of
incorporation and the percentage of its voting stock owned by the Corporation
and, if applicable, the Stockholder and each other Subsidiary. The Corporation
(or, if applicable, the Stockholder or Subsidiary as the case may be) is the
record and beneficial owner of all of the shares of voting stock it purports to
own of each Subsidiary and, except as set forth on Schedule 3(b), such ownership
is free and clear in each case of any Lien. All such shares have been duly
issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. No Subsidiary has any common or
preferred stock authorized or outstanding other than as set forth on Schedule
3(b) and neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary has made or entered into any
agreement or commitment to sell or issue any securities of any Subsidiary. Each
Subsidiary is a corporation duly organized and existing and in good standing
under the laws of its state of incorporation and has the corporate power to
carry on its business as it is now being or contemplated to be conducted. The
term "Subsidiary" means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership
or other entity of which more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of stock,
or other ownership interests having ordinary voting power (including stock or
such other ownership interests having such voting power only by reason of the
happening of a contingency) to elect a majority of the board of directors or
other managers of such corporation, limited liability company, partnership or
other entity, are at the time owned, directly or indirectly, through one or more
intermediaries, or both, by the Corporation.
(c) Corporate Power, etc. The Corporation and each Subsidiary has
all requisite power and authority, and all
-3-
necessary licenses, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations
necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now
conducted and as proposed to be conducted, except where the failure to do so
would not have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial
conditions or results of operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries
taken as a whole.
(d) Due Authorization; No Conflict. This Agreement and each of
the Ancillary Documents (as that term is defined in Section 5(e) below) has been
duly authorized by all necessary corporate or stockholder action of the
Corporation. Neither this Agreement nor any of the transactions provided for
herein or in any Ancillary Document conflicts with or violates (i) any provision
of the Corporation's Certificate of Incorporation (as amended by the Certificate
of Amendment in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto) or By-laws, (ii) any
agreement by which the Corporation, any Subsidiary of the Corporation or the
Stockholder, or any of its or their respective properties, is bound in any
manner that, individually or in the aggregate, would have material adverse
effect on the business, assets, financial conditions or results of operations of
the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, (iii) any federal or
state law, rule or regulation or judicial order, or (iv) any local law, rule or
regulation in any manner that, individually or in the aggregate would have
material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial conditions or results
of operations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. This
Agreement is, and each Ancillary Document will be, when duly executed and
delivered, binding on the Corporation and the Stockholder (as the case may be),
and enforceable against the Corporation and/or against the Stockholder in
accordance with their respective terms except as may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, preference and other
laws and equitable principles affecting the scope and enforcement to creditors'
rights generally, and are also limited by Buyer's implied covenants of good
faith, fair dealing and commercially reasonable conduct, and by the effects of
judicial discretion on the availability of remedies and realization of benefits
under and enforceability of this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents in all
respects as written.
(e) Preferred Stock; Warrant. The Preferred Stock and the Warrant
to be issued and sold pursuant to Section 1 hereof, and all Common Stock and
Preferred Stock to be issued upon conversion or exercise thereof, has been duly
authorized, and when issued and sold by Corporation will be fully paid and
non-assessable (assuming payment by the Buyer of the consideration set forth in
Section 2 hereof, or in the Warrant, as the case may be) and free and clear of
any Lien, claim or right of any other person. The Corporation has reserved for
-4-
issuance a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock as
may be required upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the
Warrant to be issued and sold pursuant to Section 1 hereof.
(f) Financial Statements; Undisclosed Liabilities. (i) Each of
the Corporation and its Subsidiaries have, during all prior periods of their
respective existences, prepared annual financial statements in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The consolidated balance
sheets of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and
December 31, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended, all of
which have been certified by the Corporation's independent certified public
accountants, copies of which have been delivered to Buyer, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP consistently applied, and present fairly the financial
position of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the
results of their operations for such periods. The Corporation has also delivered
to Buyer copies of all audit or review comments and reports thereon or in
respect thereof which were received by the Corporation or any such Subsidiary
from its independent certified public accountants since the date of
incorporation of the Corporation. The Consolidated Balance Sheet of the
Corporation and Subsidiaries dated December 31, 1995 is herein called the
"Consolidated Balance Sheet," and December 31, 1995 is herein called the
"Balance Sheet Date."
(ii) Except as set forth on Schedule 3(f), as of the date hereof
the Corporation does not have any liability of any nature (matured or unmatured,
fixed contingent or otherwise) which is, individually or in the aggregate,
material to the Corporation and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, and
was not reflected on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and which should, in
accordance with GAAP, have been reflected in such balance sheets or in the notes
thereto.
(g) Material Adverse Change. Except as set forth on Schedule
3(g), since the Balance Sheet Date there has not been any change in the
properties, business, prospects, results of operations or financial condition of
the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries which, individually or in the
aggregate, has had or may reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the properties, business, prospects, results of operation or financial
condition of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (excluding
the effect, if any, of economic, political and social conditions affecting the
motion picture theater industry generally).
(h) Litigation; No Default. Except as set forth
-5-
on Schedule 3(h), there are no claims, actions, suits, investigations or
proceedings pending against or affecting or, to the knowledge of the
Corporation, threatened against the Corporation, any of its Subsidiaries or any
of its or their respective officers or employees (in their capacities as such)
or its or their respective businesses, properties or assets, or the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents, by any person,
governmental body or agency or by any securities exchange or national securities
association, nor is there any basis known to the Corporation for any such
action, suit, investigation or proceeding, which is reasonably likely, if
adversely decided, to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets,
financial conditions or results of operations of the Corporation and its
Subsidiaries taken as a whole. There is not in existence any order, judgment or
decree of any court, governmental authority or agency or arbitration board or
tribunal enjoining the Corporation or any Subsidiary from taking, or requiring
the Corporation or any Subsidiary to take, action of any kind with respect to
the business of the Corporation or such Subsidiary. Neither the Corporation nor
any Subsidiary is in violation of any laws or governmental rules or regulations
except where such violation would not have a material adverse effect on the
business, assets, financial conditions or results of operations of the
Corporation and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. Neither the Corporation nor
any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any contract or commitment to which
it is a party or by which its assets are bound, which default would have a
material adverse effect on the business, assets, financial conditions or results
of operations of the Corporation and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.
(i) Title to Assets. The Corporation and each Subsidiary has good
and marketable title to all the property reflected on the consolidated balance
sheet of the Corporation and Subsidiaries dated December 31, 1995 and which the
Corporation or any Subsidiary otherwise purports to own, free and clear of all
Liens, except as set forth on Schedule 3(i). Such assets, together with the
assets leased by the Corporation and Subsidiaries, are the only assets used by
the Corporation and its Subsidiaries in the conduct of their respective
businesses as presently conducted. The Corporation and its Subsidiaries enjoy
peaceful and undisturbed possession under all leases under which they are
operating, and all such leases are valid and subsisting and in full force and
effect.
(j) Trademarks, Copyrights and other Intellectual Properties.
Schedule 3(j) sets forth a correct and complete list of all Intellectual
Properties used, held for use, or (as set forth in writing in any document
delivered to the Buyer) presently proposed to be used in the conduct of the
business of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries. "Intellectual Properties"
-6-
shall mean each and all of the following items: all United States or foreign
patents, trademarks, trade names, servicemarks, and applications for any of the
foregoing, copyrights or other author's rights, proprietary rights and data,
ideas and know-how, whether or not patentable or registrable, and any goodwill
associated with any of the foregoing whether owned or otherwise controlled by
the person or entity using, holding for use or proposing to use any of the
foregoing or whether the rights to the use thereof have been licensed to or by
such person or entity. Except as disclosed in Schedule 3(j), (i) the Corporation
owns or possesses adequate licenses or other valid rights to use (without the
making of any payment to others or the obligation to grant rights to others in
exchange) all Intellectual Properties necessary to the conduct of its business
as presently being or (as set forth in writing in any document delivered to the
Buyer) proposed to be conducted and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not alter or impair any of such rights; (ii) the
validity of such rights and the title thereto of the Corporation have not been
questioned or challenged in any matter, nor, to the knowledge of the
Corporation, is any such challenge threatened; (iii) the conduct of the business
of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries as is now conducted or (as set forth in
writing in any document delivered to the Buyer) proposed to be conducted does
not infringe or conflict with any Intellectual Properties of others; (iv) the
Corporation knows of no use by any other party of any Intellectual Property
owned by or licensed to the Corporation; and (v) no infringement by others of
any Intellectual Properties owned by or licensed by or to the Corporation is
known to the Corporation.
(k) Material Agreements. Schedule 3(k) contains a list of all of
the material agreements, leases, licenses or sublicenses, contracts or other
agreements, arrangements, understanding and commitments, whether written or oral
(each and all of the foregoing items being referred to as "Contracts"), to which
the Corporation and/or any Subsidiary is a party. Except as set forth in
Schedule 3(k) (which may refer to other specific schedules hereto), neither the
Corporation nor any Subsidiary is a party to any material Contract.
(l) Consents. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(l), no consent,
approval or authorization of, or filing, registration or qualification with, any
governmental authority or any other person on the part of the Corporation or any
Subsidiary is required in connection with the execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement or any Ancillary Document, or the offer, issue,
sale or delivery of the Preferred Stock or the warrant, or the issuance and
delivery of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise thereof.
-7-
(m) Taxes. The Corporation has delivered to Buyer copies of all
federal and state income tax returns of the Corporation or any Subsidiary in
respect of years ending on or after December 31, 1994. All income, gross
receipts, ad valorem, sales, use, franchise, property employment and other tax
returns required to be filed by the Corporation or any Subsidiary in any
jurisdiction have in fact been filed and are true and correct, and all taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon the Corporation or any
Subsidiary of the Corporation, or upon any of their respective properties,
income or franchises, which are due and payable have been paid. The Federal
income tax returns of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries have as yet not been
audited by the Internal Revenue Service. The provisions for taxes on the books
of the Corporation and each Subsidiary are adequate for all open years, and for
its current fiscal period. Neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary has
granted or agreed to any extension of the period of limitations with respect to
any open tax year.
(n) Employee Matters; ERISA. Schedule 3(n) sets forth a true,
correct and complete list of (i) each pension, profit-sharing, retirement,
deferred compensation, bonus or other incentive plan, or other employee benefit
plan, program, agreement or arrangement to which the Corporation or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound, or to which it contributes or in
which its employees are entitled to participate (collectively "Employee Benefit
Plans"), and (ii) each employment agreement with any officer, director or
employee to which the Corporation or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is
bound. The present value of all benefits vested under all Employee Benefit
Plans, does not, and will not on the Closing Date, exceed the value of the
assets of the plans allocable to such vested benefits. Neither the Corporation
nor any Subsidiary has taken or omitted to take any action the taking or
omission of which would be a "prohibited transaction" or "reportable event"
under ERISA, or would otherwise constitute a breach of the fiduciary duty of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary in respect of an employee benefit plan maintained
or administered by the Corporation or any Subsidiary. There is, in respect of
the Employee Benefit Plans, no accumulated funding deficiency (whether or not
waived) and the Corporation has not taken or omitted to take any action the
taking or omission of which could jeopardize the qualification of any Employee
Benefit Plan which is a "qualified" plan within the meaning of Section 401 of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Neither the Corporation nor any
Subsidiary is a party to any "Multiemployer Plan" as that term is defined in
ERISA.
(o) Brokers and Finders. Except as set forth on Schedule 3(o),
neither the Corporation nor the Stockholder has incurred any obligation or
commitment to any person which could
-8-
give rise to a claim for any finder's, broker's or other middleman's commission
or compensation in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(p) Use of Proceeds. The proceeds to the Corporation from the
issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrant shall be used by the
Corporation for a transaction involving the acquisition of movie theaters from
the Township of Washington Theater, Inc., Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Cinema, Inc., New City
Cinema, Inc. and Xxxxxxx Cinema, Inc.
(q) Intercompany Transactions. Schedule 3(q) sets forth all
contracts, transactions and other business arrangements between the Corporation
or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and any stockholder, director or officer of
the Corporation or any Subsidiary, on the other hand, since January 1, 1991
(other than employment agreements and employee benefit plans involving officers
in their capacity as such). Except as set forth on Schedule 3(q), all such
contracts, transactions and other business arrangements were or are on an
arms-length basis, and have been or are on terms no less favorable to the
Corporation than would have been or could be obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.
(r) Disclosure. No representation or warranty by the Corporation
or Stockholder contained herein, nor any information, document, statement,
certificate or schedule furnished or to be furnished to Buyer in connection
herewith or with the transactions contemplated hereby, contains, or will on the
Closing Date contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or omits, or will
on the Closing Date omit, to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading. (The parties hereby affirm their intention that the
foregoing sentence be interpreted in a manner consistent with Securities and
Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, and disavow any intention to expand or limit the
applicability of Rule 10b-5 in this Section 3(r).) The written projections dated
December 12, 1995 prepared by Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx & Co., CPAs, updating the earlier
projections referred to therein, which were furnished by the Corporation and/or
the Stockholder to Buyer were made in good faith. The Corporation has supplied

SECTION 8A. Buyer's Put Rights.
(a) Except in the event that there shall have previously occurred a
Qualifying Liquidity Event (as defined in the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation), on and after June 1, 2001, the Buyer may require the Corporation
to purchase all of the shares of Common Stock then owned by Buyer (including any
shares issued and/or issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock and/or exercise
of the Warrant) for the Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) ("Buyer's Put")
(provided, however, that if Buyer has previously had an opportunity to sell a
portion of such shares at a price equal to or greater than four hundred percent
(400%) of the then-applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Corporation's
Certificate of Incorporation), then, at the request of the Corporation, Buyer
may execute a written waiver of its rights to exercise the Buyer's Put as to
such shares, such waiver not to be unreasonably withheld; and provided, further,
that following such waiver, such shares shall be freely transferable by the
Buyer, free of all rights of first refusal, rights of participation or other
rights of the Corporation and/or other stockholders set forth in the
Stockholders Agreement).
(b) The "Purchase Price" per share of Common Stock for purposes of the
Buyer's Put shall be equal to (x) the greater of (i) the Corporation's gross
revenues from all sources (net of applicable sales and use taxes), or (ii) six
(6) times the Corporation's combined income from its theater operations before
deduction of corporate overhead expenses (including, without limitation,
management and similar fees), interest and taxes; in each case, for the twelve
months immediately preceding the date of exercise, divided by (y) the number of
shares of Common Stock on the date of exercise issued and/or reserved for
issuance, as measured on a fully-diluted basis (i.e., assuming the exercise of
all warrants and options and the conversion of all convertible
-18-
securities and counting as outstanding shares all outstanding phantom stock and
similar rights). The Purchase Price shall be determined by the Corporation's
then-regularly employed certified public accounting firm. In the event that the
Corporation has any additional classes of equity securities and/or rights to
purchase additional classes of equity securities outstanding on the date of
exercise, the above formula shall be appropriately adjusted by the certified
public accountants of the Corporation, acting in good faith, to take account of
the same.
(c) With respect to any exercise of Buyer's Put, at the option of the
Corporation, the aggregate Purchase Price may be paid in a lump sum or in no
greater than four (4) annual installments. The Corporation shall use its best
efforts to maximize the amount of cash which is payable to the Buyer upon
exercise of the Buyer's Put.
(i) If the Corporation elects to make any such payment in a lump sum, such
amount shall be payable in cash, within thirty (30) days of the date of any
exercise of Buyer's Put.
(ii) If the Corporation elects to make any such payment in installments, it
shall deliver to Buyer a Secured Promissory Note in a form mutually
acceptable to the Corporation and the Buyer, payable in no greater than
four (4) annual installments, with the first such installment due and
payable on the thirtieth (30th) day following the applicable date of any
exercise of Buyer's Put, and the second, third and fourth such installments
(to the extent applicable) due and payable one, two and three years after
such date, respectively. Interest shall accrue on any unpaid installments
at the "prime rate" published from time to time in the Wall Street Journal
plus six percent (6%) beginning on the date of exercise, and each
installment payment shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued and
unpaid interest up to and including the date of payment. Such note shall be
secured by the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock being
repurchased by the Corporation, and certificates representing such shares
shall be held by a mutually agreed upon escrow agent, with a pro rata
portion of such shares being released to the Corporation as and when
principal payments are made on the note. While such shares are being held
in escrow, the Buyer shall continue to be treated as the owner of such
shares for all purposes of this Agreement and any Ancillary Document
(including, but not limited to, for the purposes of exercising the rights
of a holder of Preferred Stock under the Corporation's Certificate of
Incorporation, and for the purposes of the Stockholders' Agreement and the
Management and Monitoring Fee Agreement.)
(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all unpaid Purchase
-19-
Price installments and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall become
immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of a Change in Control of
the Corporation (as hereinafter defined). For the purposes of this Section
8A, a Change in Control of the Corporation shall be deemed to have occurred
(A) if any person or affiliated group of persons (other than Stockholder
and/or any affiliate(s) thereof) becomes the beneficial owner of more than
50% of the combined voting securities of the Corporation or (B) upon the
sale of substantially all of the assets of the Corporation.
(d) If, on or prior to December 31, 1997, the Corporation shall
successfully close an initial public offering of Common Stock pursuant to a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the
Corporation shall thereafter have the right to terminate Buyer's rights under
this Section 8A by paying to Buyer a sum equal to the aggregate purchase price
paid to that date by Buyer for the shares of Preferred Stock and/or Common Stock
which it then holds.
SECTION 9. Survival; Indemnification.
(a) Survival. The warranties and representations of the parties hereto
shall be deemed to have been relied upon, notwithstanding any investigation made
by or on behalf of any party. Such warranties and representations shall survive
the Closing for a period of two (2) years from the Closing Date, except that the
representations and warranties contained in Section 3(m) shall survive until the
date upon which the time to assess any tax related to the operations of the
Corporation or any Subsidiary prior to the Closing ends, as such date may be
extended by consent of the Corporation and/or by operation of law.
(b) Indemnification by Corporation. The Corporation covenants and
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer, its officers,
directors, employees, agents and controlling persons (collectively, the "Buyer
Indemnitees") from and against, and pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for,
any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, royalties,
proceedings, deficiencies or damages (whether absolute or otherwise and whether
or not resulting from third party claims), including, but not limited to,
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' and accountants' fees and
expenses incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same that shall
result in the successful assertion of their respective rights hereunder

-20-
representation or warranty made by the Corporation herein or in any of
the Ancillary Documents or in connection herewith or therewith;
(ii) any failure of the Corporation to perform any covenant or
agreement hereunder or under any Ancillary Document or fulfill any
other obligation in respect hereof or of any Ancillary Document; and
(iii) any claim by any person for any finder's, broker's or other
middleman's commission or compensation in respect of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall not be obligated to
indemnify any Buyer Indemnitee against any Losses until the aggregate amount of
Losses suffered by all Buyer Indemnitees hereunder exceeds $5,000, and then only
to the extent of such excess.
(c) Indemnification by Stockholder. The Stockholder covenants and
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer Indemnitees from and
against, and pay or reimburse the Buyer Indemnitees for, any and all Losses
resulting from or arising out of any inaccuracy of any representation or
warranty made by the Stockholder herein or in any of the Ancillary Documents.
(d) Indemnification by Buyer. The Buyer covenants and agrees to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation, its officers, directors,
employees, agents and controlling persons (including the Stockholder)
(collectively, the "Corporation Indemnitees") from and against, and pay or
reimburse the Corporation Indemnitees for, any and all Losses resulting from or
arising out of:
(i) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by the
Buyer herein or in any of the Ancillary Documents;
(ii) any failure of the Buyer to perform any covenant or
agreement hereunder or under any Ancillary Document or fulfill any
other obligation in respect hereof or of any Ancillary Document; and
(iii) any claim by any person for any finder's, broker's or other
middleman's commission or compensation in respect of the
-21-
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify any
Corporation Indemnitee against any Losses until the aggregate amount of Losses
suffered by all Corporation Indemnitees hereunder exceeds $5,000, and then only
to the extent of such excess.
