2.2           Payment at the Closing.

(a)           Payments by the Purchasers. At the Closing, the Purchasers shall pay the Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds to ASC.

(b)           Payments by the Sellers.  Immediately prior to the Closing, the Sellers shall repay in full (or shall request in writing at least three Business Days prior to the Closing that the Purchasers apply a portion of the Purchase Price to such payment),(i) the outstanding principal amount of the Outstanding Indebtedness, and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, calculated as of the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and (ii) all fees and expenses of the Company’s legal, accounting, and financial advisors (including brokers and investment bankers) related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and all other amounts then owed to any of the foregoing by the Company as of the Closing Date.

11




 

2.3           Income Adjustment and Working Capital Adjustments.  The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as follows:

(a)           Income Adjustment.  The “Purchase Price Income Adjustment” shall mean the amount calculated by subtracting the aggregate Unleveraged Cash Flow from and including October 30, 2006 to the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date from the aggregate Income Accretion Amount from and including October 30, 2006 to the Closing Date.  No later than the fourth Business Day prior to the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchasers an officer’s certificate, certifying as to the estimated Purchase Price Income Adjustment as of the Sunday prior to the Closing Date (the “Estimated Income Adjustment Amount”), which certificate shall be accompanied by a statement of the EBITDA, Capital Expenditures, Unleveraged Cash Flow and Income Accretion Amount of the Company from and including October 30, 2006 through the Sunday prior to the Closing Date, to be prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with GAAP, where applicable, and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Financial Statements; provided, that for purposes of the Estimated Income Adjustment Amount, the Unleveraged Cash Flow for the week ending on the Sunday prior to the Closing Date shall be the projected Unleveraged Cash Flow for such period as set forth on Exhibit 2.3(a) attached hereto.  A representative calculation of the Estimated Income Adjustment Amount is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.3(a). The Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased or decreased, on a dollar for dollar basis, by the Estimated Income Adjustment Amount.

(b)           Working Capital Adjustment.  No later than the fourth Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchasers an officer’s certificate, certifying as to the estimated Working Capital as of the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Estimated Working Capital Amount”), which certificate shall be accompanied by a statement of the Estimated Working Capital Amount prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with GAAP and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Financial Statements.  The Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased, on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent the Estimated Working Capital Amount is greater than negative $4,000,000.00, or decreased on a dollar for dollar basis, to the extent the Estimated Working Capital Amount is less than negative $4,000,000.00.

(c)           As soon as practicable, but in any event within 90 days after the Closing Date, the Purchasers shall cause to be prepared and delivered to ASC a statement (the “Final Adjustment Certificate”) certifying the amount of Company’s Working Capital as of the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Final Working Capital Amount”) and the amount of the Purchase Price Income Adjustment as of the close of business on the day preceding the Closing Date (the “Final Income Adjustment Amount”), prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with GAAP, as applicable, and in a manner consistent with the preparation of the Financial Statements.  The Final Adjustment Certificate shall certify the amount payable by the Purchasers to ASC, or by ASC to the Purchasers, pursuant to Section 2.3(f).

12




 

(d)           Upon receipt of the Final Adjustment Certificate, ASC shall have the right during the succeeding 30-day period (the “Review Period”) to examine the Final Adjustment Certificate, and all books and records used to prepare such Final Adjustment Certificate.  If ASC disagrees with the Purchasers’ determination of the Final Working Capital Amount or Final Income Adjustment Amount, it shall so notify the Purchasers in writing (such notice, a “Disagreement Notice”) on or before the last day of the Review Period, which Disagreement Notice shall set forth a specific description of ASC’s disagreement and the amount of the adjustment to the Final Working Capital Amount or Final Income Adjustment Amount which ASC believes should be made.  If no Disagreement Notice is delivered within the Review Period, the Final Adjustment Certificate shall be deemed to have been accepted by the parties hereto.  The Purchasers will, and will cause the Company to, provide ASC full access (during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice) to the books, ledgers, files, reports and operating records of the Company and the then current employees of the Company, and cooperate and assist ASC in evaluating the Final Adjustment Certificate.

(e)           Dispute Resolution.

(i)            In the event that a Disagreement Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 2.3(d), the Purchasers and ASC shall attempt to resolve the objections set forth therein within 30 days of receipt of such Disagreement Notice.  The objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice that are resolved by the Purchasers and ASC in accordance with this Section 2.3(e)(i) shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Resolved Objections.”  The Final Working Capital Amount and the Final Income Adjustment Amount shall be adjusted to reflect any Resolved Objections.

(ii)           If the Purchasers and ASC are unable to resolve all the objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice within such 30-day period, they shall jointly appoint PricewaterhouseCoopers (or any other major accounting firm mutually agreed upon by ASC and the Parent) within five days of the end of such 30-day period (the “CPA Firm”).  The CPA Firm, acting as experts and not as arbitrators, shall review the objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice that are not Resolved Objections (collectively, the “Differences”).  The CPA Firm shall determine, based on the requirements set forth in this Section 2.3 and only with respect to Differences submitted to the CPA Firm, whether and to what extent the Final Working Capital Amount and the Final Income Adjustment Amount requires adjustment so as to be calculated in accordance with this Agreement.  The CPA Firm shall be instructed to make its determination within 15 days after its appointment.  The fees and disbursements of the CPA Firm shall be borne by ASC and the Purchasers as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of each in connection with the disputed items.  The Purchasers and ASC shall, and the Purchasers shall cause the Company to, provide to the CPA Firm full cooperation.  The CPA Firm’s resolution of the Differences shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties, except in the case of manifest error.  The Differences as resolved by the CPA Firm in accordance with this Section 2.3(e)(ii) shall collectively be referred to herein as the “CPA-Determined

13




 

Differences.”  The Final Working Capital Amount and the Final Income Adjustment Amount shall be adjusted to reflect any CPA-Determined Differences.

(f)            To the extent that the Final Working Capital Amount or Final Income Adjustment Amount set forth in the Final Adjustment Certificate (as adjusted in accordance with any Resolved Objections and CPA-Determined Differences) differs from the Estimated Working Capital Amount or Estimated Income Adjustment Amount, respectively, the adjustment to the Purchase Price initially made pursuant to Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) shall be recalculated by the parties in accordance with Sections 2.3(a) and 2.3(b) by using the Final Working Capital Amount or Final Income Adjustment Amount, in lieu of the Estimated Working Capital Amount or Estimated Income Adjustment Amount, respectively.

(g)           On the fifth day following (or, if not a Business Day, on the next Business Day) the latest to occur of (x) the 30th day following receipt by ASC of the Final Adjustment Certificate, (y) the resolution by the Purchasers and ASC of all objections set forth in the Disagreement Notice, if any, and (z) the resolution by the CPA Firm of all Differences, if any, the recalculation required by Section 2.3(f) shall be made and the Purchasers shall pay to ASC the amount of any increase in the Purchase Price beyond that received by ASC at the Closing, or ASC shall return to the Purchasers the excess amount of the Purchase Price initially received by ASC at the Closing, in each case together with all interest thereon at an annual rate equal to the Prime Rate from the Closing Date until the date paid pursuant to this Section 2.3.  Such payment shall be made (i) in the case of a payment to the Purchasers, by ASC by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by the Purchasers and (ii) in the case of a payment to ASC, by the Purchasers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account or accounts designated by ASC.

9.7           Confidentiality; Publicity.  Each party shall hold, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its employees and agents to hold, in strict confidence all information concerning the other parties or their Affiliates furnished to it by such other Persons, all in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, as if originally a party thereto who was required to keep information confidential except that the Sellers shall maintain such information with respect to the Company as confidential only to the extent such information is specific to the Company and does not relate to the operations of ASC or any of their Affiliates following the Closing Date.  Any release to the public of information with respect to the matters contemplated by this Agreement (including any termination of this Agreement) shall be made only in the form and manner approved jointly by ASC and the Parent, provided that if a party is required by law to make any disclosure concerning such matters, such party shall discuss in good faith with the other party the form and content of such disclosure prior to its release (but such release shall not require the prior approval of the other parties).

9.8           Transition.  Without limiting the agreements set forth in Sections 9.9 and Article XI, for a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, ASC shall, and the Purchasers shall and shall cause the Company to, cooperate in good faith to effect an orderly transition in the operation of the Resort, provided, that neither party shall be required to expend any funds or enter into any contractual commitments in performing its obligations under this Section 9.8.

9.9           Access to Records After the Closing.  The Sellers and the Purchasers recognize that subsequent to the Closing they may have information and documents which relate to the Company, the Resort, its employees, its properties and Taxes that relate to the period prior to Closing and to which the other party may need access subsequent to the Closing.  Each such party shall provide the other such party and its Representatives commercially reasonable access, during normal business hours on reasonable notice (and at such other times as such other party reasonably requests) and under reasonable circumstances, to all such information and documents, and to furnish copies thereof, which such other party reasonably requests.  The Purchasers and the Sellers agree that prior to the destruction or disposition of any such books or records pertaining to the Company at any time within three (3) years  after the Closing Date (or, in any matter involving Taxes, within seven (7) years after the Closing Date), each such party shall provide not less than thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to the other such party of any such proposed destruction or disposal.  If the recipient of such notice desires to obtain any such documents, it may do so by notifying the other party in writing at any time prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal.  Such notice must specify the documents which the requesting party wishes to obtain.  The parties shall then promptly arrange for the delivery of such documents.  All out-of-pocket costs associated with the delivery of the requested documents shall be paid by the requesting party.  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Related Documents to the contrary, in no event shall the Sellers or their Affiliates be required to provide the Purchasers with access to or copies of the Sellers’, or their Affiliates’ Tax Returns to the extent such Tax Returns do not relate to the Company and in no case shall the Purchasers have any right to review any Tax Returns other than pro forma Tax Returns of the Company.

9.10         No Employee Solicitation.  For a period of 12 months following the Closing, (a) the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ or cause to leave the employ of ASC or its Affiliates any individual that is serving at such time as an officer of ASC or its Affiliates; and (b) ASC and its Affiliates shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment any individual that is employed at such time by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provided that the use of a general solicitation (such as advertisement) not specifically directed to applicable employees will not be deemed to be a violation of the no solicitation provision of this Section 9.10.

9.11         Interim Operations of the Parent.  Prior to the Closing, unless the Sellers have otherwise consented in writing thereto, the Parent shall not, and shall cause the Buyer not to:

(a)           take any action or omit to take any action for the purpose of directly or indirectly preventing, materially delaying or materially impeding the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

44




 

(b)           directly or indirectly authorize any of, or commit or agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any action or actions which would make the representation of the Purchasers set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect in any material respect; and

(c)           enter into any binding agreement to do any of the foregoing.

9.12         KIC Put.  Purchasers acknowledge that the Closing will trigger the right of Kamori International Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“KIC”), owner of 14.99 shares of the common stock of WPA (the “KIC Interest”), to sell to the Company its entire interest in WPA in accordance with the terms of that certain Stockholders’ Agreement, dated as of November 30, 1999, by and among the Company, KIC and WPA (the “WPA Stockholders’ Agreement”).  In the event that KIC shall elect to exercise any of its rights pursuant to the WPA Stockholders’ Agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby on or following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall be solely responsible for providing all funds necessary to enable the Company to effect such purchase.  Purchasers shall, as a condition to Closing, expressly agree to assume the continuing obligations relating to the Resort contained in Section 7(c) of the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of August 1, 1997 by and among Kamori International Corporation and affiliates of ASC, as amended, and to honor the lifetime season pass benefits listed on Section 9.12 of the Seller Disclosure Letter, and to require any succeeding transferee to succeed to its obligations under such Section 7(c) and this Section; provided, that, ASC will cause to be assigned to the Company, prior to Closing, all of ASC’s rights to indemnification contained in that certain Indemnity Agreement, dated November 30, 1999, between ASC and KIC to the extent such rights relate to the obligations being assumed by Purchasers under this Section 9.12.

9.13         Conveyance.  On or prior to the Closing, ASC shall cause GSRP to convey to the Company, by warranty deed, the commercial core of the Hotel, and by assignment agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers, all right, title and interest in all of its assets, including, without limitation, the GSRP Note, the GSRP Deed, all contract rights, license rights and easement rights and all reserved declarant rights held by GSRP, in each case free and clear of any Liens.

9.14         Financial Statement Cooperation.  Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Purchasers to assist the Purchasers and their Affiliates or their Representatives in preparing for any filings the Purchasers or any of its Affiliates may need to make with the SEC or any other Governmental Agency, to the extent any such filing relates to the transactions contemplated hereby, including preparing any financial statements required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  To the extent reasonably requested by Purchasers after the Closing, ASC shall take all actions reasonably requested by the Purchasers to assist the Purchasers and their Affiliates or their Representatives in preparing for any filings Purchasers or any of their Affiliates may need to make with the SEC or any other Governmental Agency, to the extent any such filing relates to the transactions contemplated hereby, including preparing any financial statements required under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  Purchasers shall reimburse ASC for its reasonable expenses incurred in providing assistance pursuant to this Section 9.14 subsequent to Closing.  ASC, when reasonably requested by Purchasers, shall execute and deliver a representation letter, in form and substance reasonably

45




 

satisfactory to ASC and the Purchasers, to Purchasers’ auditors with respect to the pre-Closing corporate allocations from ASC to the Company.

9.15         No Solicitation.  From the date hereof until the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, Sellers shall not and shall cause each of their Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (a) initiate, solicit, encourage or otherwise facilitate any inquiry, proposal, offer or discussion with any party (other than the Purchasers) concerning any merger, reorganization, consolidation, recapitalization, business combination, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange, sale of stock, sale of material assets or similar business transaction involving the Company, its Subsidiaries or any division of the Company, (b) furnish, or make available, any non-public information concerning the business, properties or assets of the Company, its Subsidiaries or any division of the Company to any Person (other than the Purchasers) or (c) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than the Purchasers) concerning any such transaction.  Sellers shall immediately notify any Person with which discussions or negotiations of the nature described above were pending that the Sellers are terminating such discussions or negotiations.  If the Sellers receive any inquiry, proposal or offer of the nature described above, the Sellers shall, within two Business Days after such receipt, notify the Purchasers of such inquiry, proposal or offer, including the general terms of such inquiry, proposal or offer.

9.16         Intercompany Guarantees.  Prior to the Closing Date, ASC shall use its  commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company and any of its Subsidiaries to be removed or released, effective as of the Closing, or, if not possible, as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, in respect of all obligations of ASC or any of its Affiliates under each of the guarantees and letters of comfort obtained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the benefit of ASC and its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) prior to the Closing, and for all obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries in respect thereof to be terminated, with, in each case, such substitution, removal, release and termination to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers.  ASC agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers and their Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) from and against and in respect of Indemnifiable Losses incurred by the Purchasers and their Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) under or pursuant to any such guarantee or letters of comfort.  Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts and following the Closing, the Purchasers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, to cause ASC and any of its Affiliates to be removed or released, effective as of the Closing, or, if not possible, as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, in respect of all obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under each of the guarantees and letters of comfort obtained by ASC or any of its Affiliates for the benefit of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing, and for all obligations of ASC and its Affiliates in respect thereof to be terminated, with, in each case, such substitution, removal, release and termination to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ASC.  The Purchasers agree to indemnify and hold harmless ASC and its Affiliates from and against and in respect of Indemnifiable Losses incurred by ASC and its Affiliates under or pursuant to any such guarantee or letters of comfort.

9.17         Third Party Contracts and Cross Default Provisions.

(a)           The parties agree that, to the extent that ASC or any of its Affiliates provides the Company and any of its Subsidiaries the ability to receive services or use assets that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing receives or uses pursuant to a contract of ASC or any of its Affiliates with a third party, the parties will cooperate with each other to cause the Company and any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, to directly enter into a new contract with such third party with respect to such services or assets to the extent the Purchasers desire that the Company and the Subsidiaries continue to receive such services from, or use such assets of, such third party after the Closing, which cooperation shall be deemed to include, without limitation, ASC requiring a third party, to the extent it has the power to do so under any such contract, to split such contract into two separate contracts, one with ASC or its Affiliate and the other with the Company.  The parties agree that, to the extent that the Company or any of its Subsidiaries provides ASC and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) prior to the Closing the ability to receive services or use assets that ASC or any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) receives or uses pursuant to a contract of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with a third party, the parties will cooperate with each other to cause ASC and any of its Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries), as applicable, to directly enter into a new contract with such third party with respect to such services or assets to the extent ASC desires that ASC and the Affiliates (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) continue to receive such services from, or use such assets of, such third party after the Closing, which cooperation shall be deemed to include, without limitation, the Company requiring a third party, to the extent it has the power to do so under any such contract, to split such contract into two separate contracts, one with ASC or its Affiliate and the other with the Company.

(b)           Prior to and after the Closing Date, ASC shall use its commercially reasonably efforts to cause the third party(ies) to each contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which have cross-default or cross-termination provisions referring to one or more contracts between such third party and/or one or more of its Affiliate(s), and ASC and/or one or more of its Affiliates (excluding the Company and its Subsidiaries), to agree to the removal from such contract of the cross-default or cross-termination provisions which relate to such contracts with ASC and/or one or more of its Affiliate(s).  Prior to the Closing Date, ASC, and following the Closing Date, the Purchasers, shall use their commercially reasonably efforts to cause the third party(ies) to each contract with ASC and/or one or more of its Affiliates (excluding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) which have cross-default or cross-termination provisions referring to one or more contracts between such third party and/or one or more of its Affiliate(s), and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, to agree to the removal from such contract of the cross-default or cross-termination provisions which relate to such contracts with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(a)           any inaccuracy in any of the representations and warranties made by the Sellers in Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 3.4 (without giving effect to any qualifications as to Knowledge, materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications contained in such representations or warranties);

(b)           any breach by ASC of any covenant to be performed or complied with by ASC in this Agreement; or

(a)           To the extent that a party hereto shall have any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless any other Person hereunder, such obligation shall not include lost profits or other consequential, special, punitive, incidental or indirect damages (and the injured party shall not recover for such amounts), except to the extent such amounts are required to be paid to a third party other than an Indemnified Party or a Person affiliated therewith.

(b)           The amount of any loss, liability, cost or expense for which indemnification is provided under this Article X shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by a Purchaser Indemnitee or a Seller Indemnitee, as the case may be, under an insurance policy with respect to such loss, liability, cost or expenses.

(c)           Except as provided in Article XI and except for fraud, from and after the Closing, the indemnification obligations set forth in this Article X are the exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees (a) for any inaccuracy in any of the representations or any breach of any of the warranties or covenants contained herein or (b) otherwise with respect to this Agreement, the Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and matters arising out of, relating to or resulting from the subject matter of this Agreement, whether based on statute, contract, tort, property or otherwise, and whether or not arising from the relevant party’s sole, joint or concurrent negligence, strict liability or other fault.

ARTICLE XI

TAX MATTERS

11.1         Tax Indemnification.

(a)           Subject to Section 13.3, from and after the Closing Date, ASC (for purposes of this Article XI only, the “Tax Indemnifying Party”), shall be responsible for, shall pay or cause to be paid, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchasers and the Company and reimburse the Purchasers and the Company for the following Taxes, to the extent

49




 

that such Taxes have not been paid as of the Closing Date and are not reflected in the determination of Working Capital:  (i) all Taxes imposed on the Company or the Purchasers as a result of the operations of the Company with respect to any taxable year or period ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) with respect to taxable years or periods beginning before the Closing Date and ending after the Closing Date, all Taxes imposed on the Company or the Purchasers as a result of the operations of the Company, which Taxes are allocable to the portion of such taxable year or period ending on the Closing Date (an “Interim Period”) (Interim Periods and any taxable years or periods that end on or prior to the Closing Date being referred to collectively hereinafter as “Pre-Closing Periods”); (iii) Taxes of any member of any affiliated group of corporations (as defined in Section 1504 of the Code) with which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries files or has filed a Tax Return on a consolidated, combined, affiliated, unitary or similar basis for a taxable year or period beginning before the Closing Date; (iv) Taxes or other costs of the Purchaser Indemnities payable as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made in Section 3.17 of this Agreement or any breach of any covenant contained in this Article XI, without duplication; and (v) any Taxes or other payments required to be made after the Closing Date by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person under any Tax sharing, indemnity or allocation agreement or other arrangement in effect prior to the Closing (whether or not written) with respect to a Pre-Closing Period.

(b)           For purposes of this Section 11.1, in order to apportion appropriately any Taxes relating to any taxable year or period that includes an Interim Period, the parties hereto shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, elect with the relevant Tax authority to treat for all purposes the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period of the Company.  In any case where applicable law does not permit the Company to treat the Closing Date as the last day of the taxable year or period, then, in each such case, the portion of any Taxes that are allocable to the portion of the Interim Period ending on the Closing Date shall be: (i) in the case of Taxes that are based upon or related to income or receipts, deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the taxable year or period ended on the Closing Date; and (ii) in the case of Taxes not described in subparagraph (i) above that are imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the Interim Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire relevant period.

(c)           Subject to Section 11.5 and the limitations contained in Section 11.3(b), payment of any amount by the Tax Indemnifying Party under this Section 11.1 shall be made within ten (10) days following written notice by the Buyer or the Company to ASC that the Company is required to pay such amounts to the appropriate Tax authority; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Party shall not be required to make any payment to any Purchaser or the Company hereunder earlier than five (5) Business Days before it is due to the appropriate Tax authority.

50




 

(d)           All matters relating in any manner to Tax indemnification obligations and payments shall be governed exclusively by this Article XI except for provisions regarding notice of claims, which shall be governed by Section 10.5.

11.2         Tax Refunds.  The Purchasers shall pay to ASC all refunds or credits of Taxes received by any Purchaser or the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries after the Closing Date and attributable to Taxes paid by the Company or its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of the Company or its Subsidiaries) with respect to a Pre-Closing Period, net of any Taxes imposed on such refund amount, and adjusted to reflect any Tax benefit received by the Purchasers or the Company in connection with the accrual or payment of amounts pursuant to this Section 11.2, to the extent that such refund or credit was not reflected in the Working Capital adjustment contemplated by Section 2.3.

11.3         Preparation and Filing of Tax Returns and Payment of Taxes.

(a)           ASC shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of (i) all income Tax Returns with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date and (ii) all non-income Tax Returns with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries for any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date, but only to the extent such Tax Returns are required to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date.  All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent, in all material respects, with the prior practice of the Company and its Subsidiaries (including, without limitation, prior Tax elections and accounting methods or conventions made or utilized by the Company and its Subsidiaries), except as required by a change in the applicable Law or regulations.

(b)           The Purchasers shall prepare and timely file or cause the Company or its Subsidiaries to prepare and timely file all Tax Returns required to be filed after the Closing Date other than Tax Returns described as the responsibility of ASC in Section 11.3(a).  All such Tax Returns with respect to Pre-Closing Periods shall be prepared and filed in a manner that is consistent, in all material respects, with the prior practice of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including prior Tax elections and accounting methods or conventions made or utilized by the Company or its Subsidiaries), except as required by a change in the applicable Law or regulations.  The Purchasers shall deliver all such Tax Returns with respect to Pre-Closing Periods to ASC for ASC’s review at least forty-five (45) days prior to the due date (including extensions) of any such Tax Return.  If ASC disputes any item on such Tax Return, it shall notify the Purchasers of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for its objection.  The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the Tax Return is required to be filed.  If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to ASC and the Purchasers.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by ASC and the Purchasers.

(c)           ASC shall deliver to Purchasers for their review any sales use, real property, transfer or other non-income Tax Returns of the Company that are to be filed on or prior to the Closing Date at least 45 days prior to the due date (including extensions) of any such Tax Return or within 15 days after the date hereof , whichever is later, provided that any such

51




 

Tax Return that is due within 15 days after the date hereof shall be delivered to Purchasers as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event prior to the due date (including extensions) of such Tax Return.  If the Purchasers dispute any item on a Tax Return delivered pursuant to the preceding sentence, they shall notify ASC of such disputed item (or items) and the basis for their objection.  The parties shall act in good faith to resolve any such dispute prior to the date on which the Tax Return is required to be filed.  If the parties cannot resolve any disputed item, the item in question shall be resolved by an independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to ASC and the Purchasers.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be borne equally by ASC and the Purchasers.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 11.3(c) shall prevent ASC or the Company from timely filing any Tax Returns that are due (including extensions) on or prior to the Closing Date.

11.4         Tax Cooperation.

(a)           For a period of seven years from and after the Closing, ASC and the Purchasers agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to each other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information (including access to books and records), and assistance relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested for the filing of any Tax Returns, for the preparation of any audit, and for the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding related to any proposed adjustment.  Any information obtained under this Section 11.4(a) shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of Tax Returns or claims for refund or in conducting an audit or other proceeding.  After the expiration of such seven-year period, the Purchasers or ASC, as the case may be, may dispose of such information, books and records, provided that prior to such disposition, (i) ASC shall give the Purchasers the opportunity, at Purchasers’ expense, to take possession of such information, books and records held by ASC; and (ii) the Purchasers shall give ASC the opportunity, at ASC’s expense, to take possession of such information, books and records held by the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b)           The Purchasers agree that with respect to Pre-Closing Periods, they shall not, on or after the Closing Date, without the prior written consent of ASC, amend any Tax Return (except as required by Law), or waive or extend any statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax Return to the extent such amendment or waiver would increase the Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any Pre-Closing Period.  ASC agrees that, with respect to Pre-Closing Periods, it shall not, on or after the date hereof, without the prior written consent of Purchasers, amend any Tax Return (except as required by Law) of the Company or its Subsidiaries or the consolidated group of corporations of which the Company or any Subsidiary is a member, or waive or extend the statute of limitations with respect to any such Tax Return, to the extent such amendment or waiver would increase the Taxes of the Company, its Subsidiaries, or Purchaser in a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning on or after the Closing Date..

11.5         Tax Audits.

(a)           After the Closing, the Purchasers shall notify ASC in writing (a “Tax Notice”) of any demand or claim received by the Purchasers or the Company from any Tax

52




 

authority or any other party with respect to Taxes for which the Tax Indemnifying Party is liable pursuant to Section 11.1 within ten (10) days of the receipt of such demand or claim by the Purchasers or the Company; provided, however, that a failure to give such Tax Notice will not affect the rights of the Purchasers or the Company to indemnification under Section 11.1 unless, or except to the extent that such failure precludes the Tax Indemnifying Parties from contesting such demand or claim.  Such Tax Notice shall contain factual information (to the extent known) describing the asserted Tax liability in reasonable detail and shall include copies of any notice or other document received from any Tax authority in respect of any such asserted Tax liability.

(b)           Subject to the following sentence, ASC may elect to control the conduct, through counsel chosen by ASC and reasonably acceptable to the Purchasers and at ASC’s own expense, of any audit, claim for refund, or administrative or judicial proceeding involving any asserted liability with respect to which indemnity may be sought under Section 11.1, including any contest in respect of an Interim Period (any such audit, claim for refund, or proceeding relating to an asserted Tax liability is referred to herein as a “Contest”).  If ASC elects to control a Contest, ASC shall within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Tax Notice notify the Parent in writing of its intent to do so; provided, however, that the Purchasers and the Company are authorized to file any motion, answer or other pleading that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to protect their interests during such 30 day period.  If ASC properly elects to control a Contest, then ASC shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability and the Purchasers shall cooperate and shall cause the Company (and any of its successors) to cooperate in each phase of such Contest.  If ASC does not elect to control the Contest, the Purchasers or the Company may, without affecting its or any other indemnified party’s rights to indemnification under this Article XI, assume and control the defense of such Contest with participation by the Sellers.

(c)           In the event that a Contest involves an Interim Period (a “Straddle Contest”), the parties shall endeavor to cause the Contest proceeding to be separated into two or more separate proceedings, one of which shall involve exclusively the applicable Interim Period.  In the event that such separation cannot, after diligent efforts, be achieved, the Purchasers and ASC shall jointly control the Straddle Contest; provided, however, that, subject to this Section 11.5 generally, the Purchasers shall have all rights to make decisions, settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability as relates to the portion of the taxable period that begins after the Closing Date, and ASC shall have all rights to settle, compromise and/or concede such asserted liability as relates to the Interim Period.

(d)           With respect to a Contest that is described in paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Section, and which relates to a method of accounting, a recurring item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit.  Taxes other than income Taxes, franchise Taxes, and Transfer and Recording Taxes, ASC’s ability to settle, compromise and/or concede any asserted liability shall be subject to the Parent’s consent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, if ASC’s proposed settlement, compromise or concession would adversely affect such Tax liability of the Company in a Post-Closing period; provided, however, if the Parent does not provide ASC with such consent, and ASC shall pay to the Parent the amount that ASC was willing to pay the

53




 

Taxing authority to settle the asserted Tax liability, ASC shall be released by the Parent from all indemnification obligations thereto pursuant to Section 11.1 and the Parent shall assume control over the conduct of such Contest and shall have all rights if such Contest does not involve any issues for which ASC remains liable under this Article XI to make decisions, settle, compromise, and/or concede such asserted liability.

(e)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.5 to the contrary, none of the Purchasers or the Company shall be required to permit ASC to contest any claim; provided, however, that the Tax Indemnifying Parties shall have no obligation to pay, indemnify or reimburse the Purchasers or the Company for any amounts that the Purchasers or the Company pay without the prior approval of ASC (which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed if the related indemnification obligation does not have a material economic impact on ASC or the Indemnifying Parties) with respect to a claim ASC timely elects to contest but is not permitted to contest under this Section 11.5(e).

(f)            Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 11.5 to the contrary, ASC shall not, without the prior written consent of the Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, contained or delayed), settle, compromise or concede any asserted liability unless ASC has (i) paid or otherwise satisfied the asserted liability on or prior to the date of such settlement, compromise or concession, or (ii) obtained, as an unconditional term of such settlement, compromise or concession, an unconditional release, issued by the applicable taxing authority in favor of the Company, for all responsibility in respect of the asserted liability.

11.6         Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payment.  The parties agree to treat any indemnity payment made under this Agreement as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.

11.7         338(h)(10) Election.

(a)           Section 338(h)(10) Election; Allocation of “Adjusted Grossed-Up Basis.”  If requested by the Purchasers, ASC and the Purchasers shall elect under section 338(h)(10) of the Code to treat the sale of the Stock as a sale by the Company and its Subsidiaries of all of their respective assets (the “Section 338(h)(10) Election”) and shall make any such available election under any substantially similar state or local law, if requested by the Purchasers.  The making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election shall not increase the Purchase Price.  Subject to Section 13.3, ASC shall pay any Tax associated with the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any analogous election made under state or local law.  As requested by the Purchasers, ASC shall take such actions as the Purchasers deem necessary to effect the Section 338(h)(10) Election (including, without limitation, the timely filing of Internal Revenue Service Form 8023 (Corporate Qualified Stock Purchase Elections)).

(b)           Allocation.  On or before the date that is 30 days after the Closing Date, the Purchasers shall provide to ASC a proposed allocation of the Purchase Price for the deemed sale of assets resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election, setting forth the

54




 

estimated fair market values of the assets of each of the Company and its Subsidiaries.  On or before the date that is 60 days after the Closing Date, ASC and the Purchasers shall cooperate in developing and agree upon a final allocation of such Purchase Price (the “Final Allocation”).  ASC and the Purchasers shall cooperate in developing the Final Allocation.

(c)           Forms.  On or before the date that is ten days before the Closing Date, ASC shall provide to the Purchasers drafts of all forms, together with all drafts of required attachments thereto, other than allocation of the Purchase Price, required for making the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any such available election under any substantially similar state or local law if requested by the Purchasers (the “Election Forms”).  On the Closing Date, ASC shall deliver to the Purchasers the Election Forms, properly executed by ASC.  ASC and the Purchasers shall cooperate in drafting and making final the Election Forms.  If the parties have not reached agreement with respect to the allocation schedule, then the dispute shall be presented to an independent accounting firm mutually agreed upon by the Purchasers and ASC, whose determination shall be binding on both parties.  The fees and expenses of such accounting firm shall be paid one-half by the Buyer and one-half by ASC.  ASC shall be responsible for filing the Election Forms with the proper taxing authorities, provided that the Parent or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall be responsible for filing any Election Form that must be filed with its Tax Returns.

(d)           Modification; Revocation.  The Purchasers and ASC each agree that it shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective Affiliates to, take any action to modify the Election Forms following the execution thereof, or to modify or revoke the Section 338(h)(10) Election, or any such available election under any substantially similar state or local law if requested by the Purchasers, following the filing of the Election Forms, without the written consent of the Purchasers or ASC, as the case may be.

(e)           Consistent Treatment.  The Purchasers and ASC shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the information contained in the Election Forms as filed and the Final Allocation, unless otherwise required because of a change in applicable tax law.

(f)            Expenses Resulting from Section 338(h)(10) Elections.  The Purchasers and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and ASC and its Affiliates, on the other hand, shall bear their respective administrative, legal and similar expenses resulting from the making of the Section 338(h)(10) Election and any such available elections under any substantially similar state or local law if requested by the Purchasers.

11.8         Tax Sharing Agreements.  Any Tax sharing agreements or arrangements to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or may have any liability or obligation shall be terminated effective as of the Closing.  After the Closing, this Agreement shall be the sole Tax sharing agreement relating to the Company or any Subsidiary for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods.

55




 

11.9         Survival of Obligations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligations of the parties set forth in this Article XI shall remain in effect until the expiration of the applicable statutes of limitations (including valid extensions thereof).

(d)           upon written notice by the Sellers, on the one hand, or by the Purchasers, on the other hand, to the other party if the other party (being any of the Sellers or the Purchasers) is in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder (which breach continues unremedied by such party for thirty (30) days after written notice thereof to such party); provided, however, that if such other party is any Purchaser, it shall not be entitled to such 30-day period if it is in default of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price to the Sellers on  the Closing Date as provided herein; and provided, further, that (i) if any Seller is seeking termination, then no Seller is then in breach in any material respect of its respective representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement or (ii) if any Purchaser is seeking termination, then no Purchaser is then in breach in any material respect of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement.

Exhibit A to Purchase Agreement

SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Software License Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made as of this         day of                      , 2006, by and between                         , a                         corporation (“XYZ”), and Steamboat Ski and Resort Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SSRC” and together with XYZ the “Licensor”), on the one hand, and American Skiing Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Licensee”), on the other hand.

WHEREAS, SSRC owns (1) a vacation planning and ecommerce storefront system that is comprised of certain computer software programs (in source and object code format) and technical and user documentation and materials related to such programs, including without limitation the software, documentation and materials described on Exhibit A (collectively, “CORIS”); and (2) a work request and management system that is comprised of certain computer software programs (in source and object code format) and technical and user documentation and materials related to such programs, including without limitation the software, documentation and materials described on Exhibit A (collectively, “WRMS”)

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of                             , 2006 by and between XYZ and Licensee (the “SPA”), XYZ purchased from Licensee all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of SSRC; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the SPA, XYZ agreed to grant Licensee a license to use CORIS and WRMS on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing, the agreements and undertakings hereinafter provided and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby expressly acknowledged by Licensor and Licensee, Licensor and Licensee hereby agree as follows:

1.             LICENSE GRANT.

(a)           License.  Licensor hereby grants to Licensee a worldwide, nonexclusive, non-assignable (except to the limited extent set forth in Section 11(b) hereof), nontransferable, sub-licensable (as permitted in Section 1(c) below), royalty-free, fully-paid license to make, use, modify, translate, reverse engineer, reproduce, decompile, disassemble, create derivative works based on, copy, display and/or merge into another program or programs in whole or in part CORIS and WRMS, including without limitation the Enhancements provided to Licensee under Section 3 below (including all source code, object code and documentation related thereto) (collectively, the “Software”). The rights granted to Licensee pursuant to this Section 1(a), collectively referred to herein as the “License.”

(b)           Restriction; Remote Access.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Licensee shall only be permitted to use the Software at the resorts or related facilities owned and/or operated by Licensee or its subsidiaries as of the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4 below), and as listed in Exhibit C (such resorts or related facilities, the “Licensed Resorts”).  For the purposes of the Maintenance and Support Services (as defined below), Licensee shall provide




Licensor and Licensor’s employees, agents, and independent contractors with remote access to the Software as installed at the processing units at any and all of the Licensed Resorts.

(c)           Sublicense Rights.  Licensee may sublicense any and all of the rights included in the License to any and all of its subsidiaries that own and/or control the Licensed Resorts (as defined herein), provided that Licensee’s rights in the source code of the Software shall not be sublicensed or otherwise transferred by Licensee to any party (including Licensee’s subsidiaries, the Licensed Resorts, and Licensee’s agents and independent contractors) so long as Maintenance and Support Services are being provided hereunder, or otherwise in conjunction with Licensee’s enhancement of the Software.  In the event that Licensee sells, conveys or otherwise transfers its ownership of all (including without limitation in connection with an asset sale), or substantially all of its direct or indirect equity interests in, any of the Licensed Resorts, then the sublicense with respect to such Licensed Resort(s) shall terminate, and Licensor shall enter into an agreement with purchaser(s) of such Licensed Resort(s) on the same terms and conditions as contained in this Agreement, except that Licensor shall have no obligation to provide to the purchaser any services described in Section 3, or to provide any right to sublicense the Software.

2.             OWNERSHIP AND USE OF SOFTWARE

(a)           Ownership and Use of Software; Confidentiality.  Licensee acknowledges that the Software is a commercially valuable proprietary product and trade secret of Licensor, and that the Software (including but not limited to the Software’s design, programming techniques, algorithms and codes) is regarded by Licensor as secret and confidential.  Licensee agrees not to disclose any portion of the Software to unauthorized persons, whether or not such portion is or may be validly copyrighted or patented.  Licensee shall treat all proprietary information related to the Software of the Licensor, and the Software of Licensor, as confidential and shall safeguard it to the same extent that the Licensee safeguards its own confidential information but in any event in at least a reasonably prudent manner.  Licensee’s use of the Software shall comply with all applicable laws.  Licensee agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all those persons having access to the Software under this Agreement shall observe and perform the obligation set forth in this Section.  The terms of this paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)           Ownership of Enhancements.  Each party shall be the sole and exclusive owner throughout the world of any and all right, title and interest in and to any and all (i) corrections, additions, enhancements, upgrades, updates, corrections, and improvements of or to the Software (collectively, “Enhancements”) made by such party to the Software, and all derivative works based thereon that are created by such party and (ii) copyright, patent, trade secret and/or other intellectual property rights in and to any and all such additions, modifications, improvements and derivative works.  For a period of 24 months from the Effective Date, in the event that either party provides the other party with any Enhancements in accordance with Section 3(d) below, the provisions of the License will be extended to such Enhancements, except that in the case of Enhancements provided by Licensee to Licensor, Licensee shall be considered the “Licensor” hereunder, and vice versa.

2




3.             MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT.  The services described in Sections 3(a) and 3(b) are referred to as the “Maintenance and Support Services”.  Except as set forth in Sections 3(a), 3(b), and 3(d), neither party shall have any obligation to develop, or to create or provide Enhancements (as defined below) to the other party, or to support the other party’s use of, the Software.

(a)           Defects.

(i)            “Defect” means any material problem, defect, failure or other error in the Software discovered by Licensor or reported to it by Licensee.  Defects include, without limitation, any failure of the Software to materially perform any of the primary functions for which it was designed and any material error in the Software such that it fails to operate in substantial conformance with the corresponding documentation.

(ii)           Defect Reports.  Licensee shall be entitled to submit to Licensor written notice of a Defect (as defined below), which notice (a “Defect Report”) shall describe any Defects, identify the associated severity level of the Defects and, to the extent readily available, give the Licensor sufficient information to enable the Licensor to reproduce the Defects.  Defect Reports may be submitted in Licensee’s reasonable discretion via e-mail, or fax, or other mutually acceptable means of communication.

(iii)          Defect Correction.  After submission of a Defect Report, Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a correction for the Defect in the Software (each, a “Correction”) as follows:

(A)          Priority 1 Defects.  “Priority 1 Defect” means a Defect that causes any of the following occurrences: (A) substantial restrictions on, substantial disruption of, or substantial adverse impact on Licensee’s business operations making use of the Software; (B) inability to access or use an important function of the Software; or (C) any errors resulting in material data loss, data corruption, or inaccuracies in the Software’s output or processing.  Licensor shall (X) within one twenty-four (24) hours after submission of the Defect Report, use commercially reasonable efforts to assign fully qualified technicians to repair the Defect; (Y) use commercially reasonable efforts to provide a workaround by the end of one (1) week; and (Z) use commercially reasonable efforts to supply a Correction as soon as possible.

(B)           Priority 2 Defects.  “Priority 2 Defect” means a Defect that is not a Priority 1 Defect and that causes (A) significant restrictions on, significant disruption of, or significant adverse impact on Licensee’s business operations making use of the Software; or (B) inability to access or use a non-trivial function of the Software.  Using commercially reasonable efforts, Licensor shall (X) within one (1) week after submission of the Defect Report, assign fully qualified technicians to repair the Defect; (Y) provide a workaround within one (1) calendar month; and (Z) supply a Correction as soon as possible.

(C)           Priority 3 Defects.  “Priority 3 Defect” means any Defect that is

3




neither a Priority 1 Defect nor a Priority 2 Defect.  Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, within three (3) calendar weeks after submission of the Defect Report, respond to the Defect Report by informing Licensee how Licensor intends to correct the Defect (e.g., provide a workaround, or provide a Correction).

Re:  Mechanic’s Lien and Gap Protection

This is to advise that Transnation Title Insurance Company makes available to its prospective insured owners, in conjunction with their Transnation Title Insurance Company policy covering a single family residence, including a condominium or townhouse unit, protection against mechanic’s liens.  This protection is not automatic nor given in all cases, but is subject to the Company’s Underwriting requirements, and does not cover those liens which arise out of work contracted for or entered into at the request of the insured owner.

These underwriting requirements include, but may not be limited to, the following:

1.                 Receipt by the Company of agreement(s) indemnifying it for any loss resulting from its granting of lien protection, executed by the seller, contractor or others who might have incurred debts which could result in mechanic’s liens;

2.                 Information concerning the solvency and whereabouts of the parties set forth in Item No. 1, possibly including financial statements;

3.                 Evidence of payment of any bills which might have been incurred for work done on the property, depending upon the length of time elapsed since the last work was completed and what remains to be done;

4.                 In the event of extensive recent construction, whether on all of the improvements upon the property or not, additional items required may include:  (a) the Company’s review of the owner’s and/or builder’s history relative to construction projects previously completed or presently under construction; (b) review of the construction loan agreement, if applicable; (c) review of any performance or materialmen’s bonds concerning this construction, if applicable; (d) payment of the appropriate charge for mechanic’s lien protection during construction, if applicable.

This is also to advise that, pursuant to Regulation of the Colorado Insurance Commissioner, every title entity shall be responsible for all matters which appear of record prior to the time of recording, and subsequent to the effective date of the commitment, whenever the title entity conducts the closing and is responsible for recording or filing of legal documents resulting from the transaction which was closed.  This does not include those matters created, suffered, assumed or agreed to by the insured.  The prospective insured is advised to inquire of the closing entity as to whether it is an office of Transnation Title Insurance Company, or is an independent agent which will be the responsible entity relative to the closing only.
