EX-10.1718th Page of 61TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
Net Working Capital Amount and the Redemption Consideration Adjustment, as amended to the extent necessary to reflect the resolution of the dispute, shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties do not reach agreement resolving the dispute within 10 days after notice is given by a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative to CHS pursuant to the second preceding sentence, the parties shall submit the dispute to a partner at the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse & Co. or if no partner of such firm will act, to a partner at such other nationally recognized independent accounting firm mutually agreeable to the parties, which shall not have a material relationship with any Redeeming Stockholders' Representative or CHS or any of their respective Affiliates within two years preceding the appointment (the "Arbiter"), for resolution. If the ------- parties cannot agree on the selection of a partner at an independent accounting firm to act as Arbiter, the parties shall request the American Arbitration Association to appoint such a partner, and such appointment shall be conclusive and binding on the parties. Promptly, but no later than 20 days after its acceptance of his or her appointment as Arbiter, the Arbiter shall determine, based solely on presentations by a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative and CHS, and not by independent review, only those issues in dispute and shall render a report as to the dispute and the resulting computation of the Net Working Capital Amount and the Redemption Consideration Adjustment, if any, which shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties. All proceedings conducted by the Arbiter shall take place in the City of New York. In resolving any disputed item, the Arbiter (x) shall be bound by the provisions of Section 3.8(b) and Schedule 3.8 and (y) may not assign a value to any item greater than ------------ the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbiter (i) shall be borne by a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (ii) shall be borne by CII in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative (as finally determined by the Arbiter) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted. Whether any dispute is resolved by agreement among the parties or by the Arbiter, changes to the Working Capital Statement shall be made hereunder only for items as to which a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative has taken exception as provided herein. (d) Redemption Consideration Adjustment. The difference, if any, ----------------------------------- between the Net Working Capital Amount and the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, whether a positive or a negative number, is herein referred to as the "Redemption Consideration Adjustment." If the Net Working Capital Amount ----------------------------------- exceeds the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the dollar amount of the Redemption Consideration Adjustment shall be paid by CII to a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8(e). If the Net Working Capital Amount is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, the dollar amount of the Redemption Consideration Adjustment shall be paid by a Redeeming Stockholder's Representative to CII in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.8(e). To the extent the Redemption Consideration is adjusted pursuant to Section 3.8, such adjustment will be allocated on a dollar basis among the Redeeming Stockholders based on the number of shares of CII Common Stock held by each Redeeming Stockholder as of immediately prior to the Closing (rather than based on the number of shares of CII Common Stock being redeemed from each Redeeming Stockholder at the Closing). -13-

Section 13.12 Execution in Counterpart. This Agreement may be ------------- ------------------------ executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. Section 13.13 Certain Assurances. By their signature below, the ------------- ------------------ Redeeming Stockholders agree to take any and all action required of such Redeeming Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, to vote in favor of the Recapitalization and to use their best efforts to cause the Recapitalization to occur. Section 13.14 Limitation of Liability. ------------- ----------------------- (a) Recovery by the New Investors and CII for Losses (as defined in the Indemnification and Escrow Agreement) pursuant to (x) breaches of representations or warranties contained in this Agreement, except the first two sentences of Section 5.2, Sections 5.5, 5.6, 6.1 and the first two sentences of Section 6.2 (the "Special Provisions"), and (y) unintentional breaches of ------------------ covenants contained Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4, shall be limited to (i) $5,000,000 for the period from the Closing Date to the first anniversary thereof, (ii) $3,000,000 for the period from the first anniversary of the Closing Date to the second anniversary of the Closing Date and (iii) $1,000,000 for the period from the second anniversary of the Closing Date to the third anniversary of the Closing Date. The New Investors and CII may only assert a claim for a breach of representation or warranty contained in this Agreement (other than the Special Provisions) or for an unintentional breach of a covenant contained Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 if aggregate Losses (net of insurance recoveries, including title insurance, and tax benefits actually received, and increased by increased insurance premiums actually paid and in the case of a Loss relating to additional taxes, reduced by the present value of future tax benefits related thereto) exceed $500,000 and then only for the amount in excess of $500,000. Except with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Sections 5.7 and 5.9(c), Losses that give rise to an indemnification claim shall not be limited by any warranty in this Agreement that is limited by materiality or Material Adverse Effect (i.e., the existence or magnitude of a breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall be determined without regard for any qualifications in the text of such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement to the words "materiality," "Material Adverse Effect" or terms of similar import). No Loss that would give rise to an indemnification claim will be reimbursable to the extent provision therefor shall have been made in the form of a liability, a reserve or a provision on the Working Capital Statement. (b) From and after the Closing, the sole recourse and exclusive remedy of the New Investors and CII pursuant to this Agreement (other than the Special Provisions) shall be to assert a claim for indemnification under the Indemnification and Escrow Agreement. -48-

(c) Amounts paid to or on behalf of Redeeming Stockholders, New Investors or CII as indemnification shall be treated as adjustments to the Redemption Consideration. (d) Effective upon the Closing, each Redeeming Stockholder hereby discharges CII and its Subsidiaries from any and all liabilities and obligations to such Redeeming Stockholder in his capacity as Redeeming Stockholder hereunder, as a stockholder, officer or director of CII or its Subsidiaries or otherwise in respect of rights of contribution or indemnification other than compensation as an employee of CII or its Subsidiaries and other than in connection with the Recapitalization effected hereby. (e) In no event shall CII or its Subsidiaries have any liability whatsoever for any breaches of the representations, warranties, agreements or covenants of CII, and the Redeeming Stockholders shall in no event seek contribution from CII or any Subsidiary for any such breaches or in respect of any other payments required to be made by the Redeeming Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement or the Indemnification and Escrow Agreement. Section 13.15 Arbitration. Except as provided in Section 3.8, any ------------- ----------- party shall have the right to submit any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of this Agreement to neutral binding arbitration in Chicago, Illinois. The matter shall be heard before a single partner of Price, Waterhouse & Co. in Chicago, Illinois. Any party requesting arbitration shall give notice to the other party stating the issue to be resolved. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based solely upon the written submission to the arbitrator and shall be final and binding on both parties, with each party or parties bearing its own costs and expenses with respect to the dispute. Each party hereby consents to the entry of a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction enforcing any arbitration decision made in accordance herewith. Section 13.16 Construction. Any reference to any federal, state, ------------- ------------ local, or foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to refer to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, unless the context requires otherwise. The word "including" shall mean including without limitation. The parties intend --------- that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. Section 13.17 Specific Performance. Each Redeeming Stockholder ------------- -------------------- acknowledges that CII's business is unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by such Redeeming Stockholder, money damages may be inadequate and the New Investors may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, each Redeeming Stockholder agrees that the New Investors shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor, to enforce its rights in an arbitration applying for specific performance. Section 13.18 Exclusivity. Until this Agreement is terminated by its ------------- ----------- terms, neither CII nor any Redeeming Stockholder (and neither CII nor any Redeeming Stockholder shall cause or permit any agent or any other Person acting on behalf of any Redeeming Stockholder, CII, or its affiliates to), (a) solicit, initiate or encourage the submission of any proposal or offer from any Person (including any of them) relating to any (i) liquidation, dissolution or recapitalization of, (ii) merger or consolidation with or into, (iii) acquisition or purchase of assets of or any equity interest in or (iv) similar transaction or business combination involving CII or (b) participate in any -49-

CII and each Redeeming Stockholder agrees that it will discontinue immediately any negotiations or discussion with respect to any of the foregoing. Until this Agreement is terminated by its terms, the Redeeming Stockholders and CII shall notify the CHS immediately if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry or contact with respect to any of the foregoing. Section 13.19 Understanding Among New Investors. The determination of ------------- --------------------------------- each New Investor to purchase the New Securities and Purchased Securities pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such New Investor independent of any other New Investor and independent of any statements or opinions as to the advisability of such purchase or as to the properties, business, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of CII and its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other New Investor or by any agent or employee of any other New Investor. In addition, it is acknowledged by each of the other New Investors that CHS has not acted as an agent of such New Investor in connection with making its investment hereunder and that, except as provided in Section 2.2, CHS shall not be acting as an agent of such New Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder. * * * * * -50-
