(i) fifty-five percent (55%) of the outstanding Common Stock (defined below) of Medovex on the Closing Date:

 

(A) including for purposes of calculating the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date (1) all shares of Common Stock that are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, the Series B Preferred Stock, and the Series C Preferred Stock (other than the Exchange Shares), and (2) all shares of Common Stock that are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the 12% Senior Secured Convertible Notes; but

 

(B) excluding for purposes of calculating the outstanding shares of Common Stock on the Closing Date (1) all shares of Common Stock that are reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding Warrants (defined below) of Medovex, (2) all shares of Common Stock that are reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding options to purchase Common Stock under the 2013 Stock Option Plan, (3) all shares of Common Stock that are reserved for future grants pursuant to the 2013 Stock Option Plan, and (4) the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable to William Horne pursuant to the Horne Employment Agreement, less

 

(ii) 583,333 shares of Common Stock;

 

 14 

 

 

(b) Medovex will pay to RMS the sum of $350,000;

 

(c) Buyer will assume the Assumed Liabilities; and

 

(d) on each Additional Share Issue Date (defined below), Buyer will issue the then required Additional Exchange Shares (defined below) and deliver them to Seller (collectively, the “Purchase Price”).

 

(e) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Additional Share Issue Dates” shall be each date following the Closing Date that Medovex or any Medovex Member sells or otherwise issues any of its capital stock, or any obligations, options, warrants or other rights to acquire shares of any class of capital stock of Medovex, or any outstanding securities or other instruments convertible into shares of capital stock of Medovex until all of the Additional Exchange Shares have been issued and delivered to Seller.

(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(f), Seller shall not be entitled to receive, and Buyer shall not be obligated to issue to Seller, any Additional Exchange Shares following such time as an aggregate of five million dollars ($5,000,000) of New Securities and shares of capital stock sold pursuant to Section 7.03(d) (on a fully diluted basis) have been sold by Medovex or a Medovex Member and included in the calculation of Exchange Shares or Additional Exchange Shares. For purposes of clarity, it is the intent of Seller and Buyer that Seller’s Exchange Shares shall not be diluted by the issuance and sale of New Securities, including shares of capital stock sold pursuant to Section 7.03(d) (calculated on a fully diluted basis), until $5,000,000 of New Securities and shares of capital stock sold pursuant to Section 7.03(d) have been sold by Medovex or a Medovex Member. Thereafter, Seller and the shareholders of Medovex shall dilute pro rata based upon their respective ownership percentages.

 

(v) Following the date that the Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into shares of Common Stock in accordance with its terms, Buyer shall issue to Seller shares of Common Stock and not Series C Preferred stock as the Additional Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section 2.05.

 

Attached as Schedule 2.05 is an example of the calculation of the Exchange Shares based upon the capitalization of Medovex as set forth in Section 5.03 and assuming the subsequent issuance of New Securities. The Purchase Price shall be paid as provided in Section 3.02. Immediately after the exchange, Buyer shall have acquired substantially all of the assets (as required by in Section 368(a)(1)(C) of the Code) of Seller and the Seller Business.

 

Section 2.06 Allocation of Purchase Price. Seller and Buyer agree that the Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Purchased Assets for all purposes (including Tax and financial accounting) in accordance with their respective fair market values, as agreed upon in good faith by RMS and Buyer.

 

Section 2.07 Tax Effect; Withholding Tax. Each Seller acknowledges that it has received its own independent tax advice with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and is not relying on any representations made by Medovex or Buyer, its counsel or accountants with respect thereto. Buyer shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Purchase Price all Taxes that Buyer may be required to deduct and withhold under any provision of Tax Law. All such withheld amounts shall be treated as delivered to Seller hereunder.

 

Section 2.08 Third Party Consents. To the extent that Seller’s rights under any Contract or Permit constituting a Purchased Asset, or any other Purchased Asset, may not be assigned to Buyer without the consent of another Person which has not been obtained, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign the same if an attempted assignment would constitute a breach thereof or be unlawful, and Seller, at its expense, shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain any such required consent(s) as promptly as possible. If any such consent shall not be obtained or if any attempted assignment would be ineffective or would impair Buyer’s rights under the Purchased Asset in question so that Buyer would not in effect acquire the benefit of all such rights, Seller, to the maximum extent permitted by law and the Purchased Asset, shall act after the Closing as Buyer’s agent in order to obtain for it the benefits thereunder and shall cooperate, to the maximum extent permitted by Law and the Purchased Asset, with Buyer in any other reasonable arrangement designed to provide such benefits to Buyer. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 2.08 to the contrary, Buyer shall not be deemed to have waived its rights under Section 7.02(c) hereof unless and until Buyer either provides written waivers thereof or elects to proceed to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing.

(c) For purposes of this ARTICLE VIII, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

 

Section 8.05 Indemnification Procedures. The party making a claim under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnified Party”, and the party against whom such claims are asserted under this ARTICLE VIII is referred to as the “Indemnifying Party”.

 

(a) Third Party Claims. If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which the Indemnifying Party is obligated to provide indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided that no Indemnifying Party shall have the right to defend any Third Party Claim that seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party In the event that the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, subject to Section 8.05(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such Third Party Claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 8.05(b), pay, compromise, defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 6.06) records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

 

 62 

 

 

(b) Settlement of Third Party Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 8.05(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within ten days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest or defend such Third Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may settle the Third Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnified Party has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 8.05(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

 63 

 

 

(c) Direct Claims. Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnified Party’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such 30-day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted such claim.

 

Section 8.06 Payments. Once a Loss is agreed to, or deemed to be agreed to, by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this ARTICLE VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten Business Days of such final, non-appealable adjudication.

 

Section 8.07 Exclusive Source of Recovery.

 

(a) Escrow of Exchange Shares. RMS shall distribute the Exchange Shares to RMS Shareholder. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.07(a), the Exchange Shares are required to be held by RMS Shareholder and may not be sold or transferred by RMS Shareholder. Possession of the Exchange Shares shall be retained by RMS Shareholder for a period of 48 months following the Closing Date (or such longer period thereafter as the applicable statute of limitations would allow Medovex to be named as a party in the Tampa Litigation or any similar case based upon the activities of Seller) for purposes of satisfying the indemnification obligations of Seller and RMS Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, if and only if the Tampa Litigation Resolution Date occurs prior to the date that is 18 months following the Closing Date, then all of the Exchange Shares which are not then subject to a claim by a Buyer Indemnitee in excess of that number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the total Exchange Shares issued at Closing, may be distributed by RMS Shareholder to its owners free and clear of any further claims under this Article VIII, and said remaining shares shall continue to be held by RMS Shareholder for purposes hereof. Further, if the Tampa Litigation Resolution Date occurs on or after 18 months following the Closing Date, then all of the Exchange Shares which are not then subject to a claim by a Buyer Indemnitee may be distributed by RMS Shareholder to its owners free and clear of any further claims under this Article VIII. The Exchange Shares shall serve as Buyer’s sole recourse for any indemnification claims made pursuant to this Article VIII. For purposes of satisfying any such claims, the Exchange Shares shall be valued at a per share value equal to $0.60 per share. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 8.07 or elsewhere in this Agreement, RMS Shareholder may, at any time, contribute up to the excess of (a) the entire balance of the Exchange Shares, less (b) the sum of (i) the Exchange Shares which are not then subject to an indemnification claim by a Buyer Indemnitee (or the proceeds from their sale), plus (ii) that number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the total Exchange Shares issued at Closing, to RMS if and only if and to the extent such shares, or the net proceeds from their sale, are used to settle or otherwise resolve all or a portion of the Tampa Litigation. If it is necessary for all or any portion of the Exchange Shares to be sold to fully and finally settle or otherwise resolve all or a portion of the Tampa Litigation, RMS Shareholder and RMS will use their commercially best efforts to avoid a block sale of such shares that materially and adversely affects the publicly traded price of the Common Stock. For purposes of this Section 8.07, the Exchange Shares shall be deemed to reference the shares of Common Stock into which the Exchange Shares are converted, following such conversion.

 

 64 

 

 

(b) Issuance of Additional Shares. As the sole recourse of any Seller Indemnitee related to and for the recovery of any Losses arising out of this Agreement, including the indemnification obligations under this Article VIII, a Seller Indemnitee shall be entitled to receive additional unregistered shares of Common Stock of Medovex as compensation for such Loss. For purposes of satisfying any such claims, the Medovex Common Stock shall be valued at a per share value equal to $0.60 per share. A Seller Indemnitee’s right to receive such additional shares shall be subject to the full compliance with all applicable securities laws related to such issuance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Seller Indemnitees for any and all Losses shall not exceed a number of shares equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the total Exchange Shares issued to Seller (or the Common Shares into which such Exchange Shares are convertible, once converted); provided, however, if the Tampa Litigation Resolution Date occurs prior to 18 months following the Closing Date, then the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Seller Indemnitees for any and all Losses shall not exceed a number of shares equal to the sum of (i) such number of shares which are then subject to an indemnification claim by a Seller Indemnitee, plus (ii) that number of shares equal to five percent (5%) of the total Exchange Shares issued at Closing (or the Common Shares into which such Exchange Shares are convertible, once converted).

 

Section 8.08 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

 

Section 8.09 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives knew or should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Section 7.02 or Section 7.03, as the case may be.

 

 65 

 

 

Section 8.10 Exclusive Remedies. Subject to Section 6.07, Section 6.09(c), Section 9.02 and Section 10.11, the parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VIII. Nothing in this Section 8.10 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.
