(e)       If the Purchaser gives the Sellers such notice of objection on or prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following Purchaser’s receipt of the Draft Adjustments and the other information described in Section 2.4(c), the Sellers and the Purchaser shall attempt to resolve their differences with respect to the calculation of the Accruals, the Retention Adjustment Amount, the Servicing Adjustment Amount and the June Data Tape Adjustment Amount within ten (10) Business Days of the Sellers’ receipt of the Purchaser’s objection notice (the “ Closing Resolution Period ”), and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be binding and conclusive. The Sellers and the Purchaser shall submit any amounts or issues remaining in dispute to a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (the “ Independent Accountants ”) selected by the Parties within five (5) days after the expiration of the Closing Resolution Period for resolution. If Sellers and Purchaser are unable to agree on the Independent Accountants, then each of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, shall have the right to request the American Arbitration Association to appoint Independent Accountants who shall not have had a material relationship with the Sellers, the Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates within the past two (2) years. Each Party agrees to execute, if requested by the Independent Accountants, a reasonable engagement letter, including customary indemnities. If amounts or issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution:

(i)        the Sellers and the Purchaser shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such data, documents and information relating to the disputed amounts or issues as the Independent Accountants may reasonably request and are available to that Party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed amounts or issues and to discuss them with the Independent Accountants;

(ii)       the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both the Sellers and the Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the amounts or issues remaining in dispute, shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in the computation of the Adjustment Amount;

(iii)      The Independent Accountants will be instructed that (A) they may only consider those items and amounts which the Sellers and the Purchaser have disputed within the time periods and on the terms specified above, and (B) they must resolve the dispute in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

(iv)      the Sellers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, will each bear fifty percent (50%) of the fees and costs of the Independent Accountants for such determination.

SECTION 2.5. Guaranty . Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including this Section 2.5), the Limited Guarantors, jointly and severally,

 

24

 


hereby irrevocably guarantee (the “ Limited Guarantee ”) to the Sellers (a) all of the obligations and liabilities of the Purchaser that are to be performed by the Purchaser under this Agreement from the date of this Agreement through the Closing, including any of Sellers’ Losses and remedies (including specific performance and injunctive relief) resulting or arising from any breaches thereof, and (b) the punctual payment, when and as due, of the Purchase Price, including any payments due under the DUS Note, the Dynex Fannie Mae Note, the Dynex Freddie Mac Note, or the Holdback Note, any Adjustment Amount due to the Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4, and the Purchaser Termination Fee (collectively, the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”). Each Limited Guarantor agrees that the Sellers may enforce the Limited Guarantee without the necessity of first exhausting remedies against the Purchaser in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Limited Guarantors do not waive rights, setoffs, counterclaims and other defenses that the Purchaser may have in respect of Guaranteed Obligations (including failure of any condition in Section 6.1 to be satisfied) and if Purchaser is relieved of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Limited Guarantors shall be similarly relieved of their obligations with respect thereto (except any legal discharge or defense arising from bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of the Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Limited Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the date a Limited Guarantor’s obligations under the Limited Guarantee are irrevocably satisfied and paid in full.

SECTION 2.6. Purchase Price Allocation . Not later than seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Purchaser a draft allocation schedule (the “ 1060 Allocation Schedule ”) pursuant to which the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (plus any other relevant items, and subject to appropriate adjustments in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code) (such amount, as adjusted, the “ Total Consideration ”) shall be allocated among the Acquired Assets for all applicable Tax purposes in a manner consistent with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder. The Parties agree that for purposes of such allocation and all other applicable Tax purposes, (a) the Put Option Fee shall be treated as option premium and, in the event the Put Option is exercised, shall be a reduction in the Total Consideration, and (b) the consideration allocable to the Purchased Equity Interest shall include only cash, and not any portion of the DUS Note, the Dynex Fannie Mae Note, the Dynex Freddie Mac Note, or the Holdback Note. Promptly following such delivery, the Parties shall in good faith work to resolve any disagreements and to finalize a mutually agreeable 1060 Allocation Schedule, which shall be, if so mutually agreed, final and binding on the Parties. To the extent the 1060 Allocation Schedule becomes final and binding on the Parties, all Tax Returns filed by the Purchaser and Sellers shall be prepared consistently with such allocation. If no mutual agreement is reached within sixty (60) days, then the 1060 Allocation Schedule shall not be binding on either party. The 1060 Allocation Schedule may be modified, as agreed to by the Parties, to reflect any adjustments to the Total Consideration.
