Sale and Contribution Agreement

A Sale and Contribution Agreement formalizes the transfer of assets or capital into a joint entity. This playbook analyzes valuation methods, assumption of liabilities, and closing deliverables.

Indemnification Provisions

Why This Matters: Indemnities are critical risk-shifting mechanisms that safeguard against financial exposure from contractual breaches or unexpected liabilities.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Company:

Negotiate for broad indemnification terms that cover all potential liabilities, including third-party claims. Ensure that caps and survival periods are reasonable and provide adequate protection.

If you're the Seller:

Aim to limit indemnification obligations to direct damages and set clear caps and survival periods. Seek to exclude indirect or consequential damages where possible.

Essential elements

Action framework

ACCEPT
