SECTION 2.4. Adjustment
Amount .
(a) The
“ Adjustment Amount ” (which may be a positive
or negative number) will be equal to the amount determined by
subtracting the absolute amount of the Closing Adjustment (as
hereafter defined) from the Estimated Adjustment. If the Adjustment
Amount is positive, the Adjustment Amount shall be paid by wire
transfer by the Sellers to an account specified in writing by the
Purchaser. If the Adjustment Amount is negative, the difference
between the Closing Adjustment and the Estimated Adjustment,
expressed as a positive number, shall be paid by wire transfer by
the Purchaser to an account specified in writing by the Sellers.
Within three (3) Business Days after the calculation of the Closing
Adjustment becomes binding and conclusive on the Parties pursuant
to this Section 2.4, the Sellers or the Purchaser, as the case
may be, shall make the wire transfer payment provided for in this
Section 2.4(a). The “ Closing Adjustment ”
means an amount (which may be a positive or negative number) equal
to the result of (A) the Accruals (B) minus the Servicing
Adjustment Amount (C) minus the Retention Adjustment Amount
(D) minus the June Data Tape Adjustment Amount.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, there
shall be no duplication of adjustments to the Purchase Price under
Article II and indemnification under Article VIII shall
not be available for a Loss to the extent that such Loss is fully
reimbursed by an adjustment under Article II.

the Sellers, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the
Closing Date, their or its (as applicable) good faith calculation,
in reasonable detail and accompanied by sufficient information
reasonably necessary to allow the Parties to verify such
calculation, of the amount of the Estimated Accruals, the Estimated
Retention Adjustment Amount, the Estimated Servicing Adjustment
Amount, and Estimated June Data Tape Adjustment Amount based upon,
among other things, the Pre-Closing Data Tape and a review of the
June Data Tape.
(c) As
soon as practicable, but in no event later than twenty (20)
Business Days following the Closing Date, the Sellers shall cause
to be prepared and delivered to the Purchaser a draft calculation
of the Accruals, the Retention Adjustment Amount, the Servicing
Adjustment Amount and the June Data Tape Adjustment Amount (the
“ Draft Adjustment ”), in reasonable detail and
accompanied by sufficient information reasonably necessary to allow
the Purchaser to verify such calculation.
(d) If
within twenty (20) Business Days following delivery of the Draft
Adjustment and the other information described in Section 2.4(c),
the Purchaser has not given the Sellers written notice of its
objection thereto (which notice shall state the basis of any such
objection in reasonable detail), then the Draft Adjustments
calculated by the Sellers shall constitute the amount of the
Accruals, the Retention Adjustment Amount, the Servicing Adjustment
Amount and the June Data Tape Adjustment Amount for purposes of the
Closing Adjustment and be binding and conclusive on the Parties and
be used in computing the Adjustment Amount.
23
(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.
