(c) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the First Effective Time with respect to Parent Series C Stock with a record date after the First Effective Time will be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Parent Series C Stock to be issued in exchange therefor until the holder of record of such Company Stock Certificate shall surrender such Company Stock Certificate in accordance with this Section 2.10. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Company Stock Certificate, there shall be paid to the record holder of the certificates representing whole shares of Parent Series C Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the First Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such whole shares of Parent Series C Stock. No interest shall be payable on any cash deliverable upon the exchange of any Company Capital Stock for cash.

(d) Return of the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed by the former holders of the Company Capital Stock for twelve (12) months after the First Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent. Any former holder of Company Capital Stock that has not complied with this Section 210 prior to the end of such twelve (12) month period shall thereafter look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws), but only as a general creditor thereof, for payment of its claim for its portion of the Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration that remains unclaimed immediately prior to the date on which it would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Parent, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. No interest shall be payable for any shares of Parent Series C Stock delivered to Parent pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) or cash which is subsequently delivered to any former holder of Company Capital Stock.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Merger Consideration paid or payable upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Interim Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding at the First Effective Time. If, after the First Effective Time, Company Stock Certificates are presented to the Interim Surviving Corporation or the Final Surviving Entity for any reason, they shall be returned to the presenter for exchange in accordance with the exchange procedures set forth in this Section 2.9.

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that each of the Indemnification Escrow Amount, the Special Indemnification Escrow Amount and the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall be treated as an installment obligation for purposes of Section 453 of the Code, and no party shall take any action or filing position inconsistent with such characterization.

To the extent that amounts are so withheld and timely paid to the appropriate Tax Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes hereof as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

2.13 Dissenting Shares.

32


(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.13(a), if any Company Stockholder who holds Dissenting Shares as of the First Effective Time shall effectively withdraw or lose (through passage of time, failure to demand or perfect, or otherwise) the right to demand and perfect appraisal or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the First Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares that were Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to and subject to Section 2.9 (subject to the escrow contribution provisions of Section 2.11 and the indemnification provisions set forth in Article IX hereof) without interest thereon upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the Estimated Closing Calculations shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP, and to the extent in accordance with GAAP, applied using the same accounting methods as set forth in the sample closing balance sheet attached to this Agreement as Schedule 2.15(a)(i) (collectively, the “Accounting Principles”). The Company shall also deliver at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet with the information set forth in Section 6.14. The Company shall also provide reasonable detail supporting each such calculation.

(ii) Following receipt of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the Company shall permit Parent and its representatives at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to review the Company Group’s working papers relating to the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (including the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Estimated Transaction Expenses, the Estimated Debt and the Estimated Cash) as well as the Company Group’s accounting books and records relating to the determination of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, and the Company shall, and shall cause each other member of the Company Group to, make reasonably available its representatives responsible for the preparation of the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet in order to respond to the reasonable inquiries of Parent. Prior to Closing, the Parties (other than the Stockholder Representative) shall discuss in good faith the computation of any of the items on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet (including the Estimated Net Working Capital, the Estimated Transaction Expenses, the Estimated Debt and the Estimated Cash).

 

34


(b) Preparation of Final Closing Balance Sheet.

(i) As promptly as practicable, but no later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Parent may, in its sole discretion, prepare and deliver to the Stockholder Representative a statement setting forth (the “Closing Statement”) (A) a balance sheet of the Company Group as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date, reflecting thereon Parent’s determination of the balance sheet of the Company Group on a consolidated basis as of 12:01 a.m., Eastern time, on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), and (B) the calculations (collectively, the “Closing Calculations”) of (1) the Closing Net Working Capital of the Company based on the Closing Balance Sheet (the “Closing Net Working Capital”), (2) the unpaid Transaction Expenses as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”), (3) the unpaid Debt of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Debt”), and (4) Cash of the Company Group as of immediately prior to the Closing (“Closing Cash”). The Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Calculations shall be prepared and calculated in accordance with GAAP and the Accounting Principles, to the extent such Accounting Principles are in accordance with GAAP. If Parent does not deliver the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Calculations within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet” and the Estimated Closing Calculations shall be deemed to have been accepted by Parent and shall be final, binding upon the Company Equityholders and Parent and shall not be subject to dispute or review.

(ii) Upon receipt of the Closing Statement, the Stockholder Representative and its accountants will be given reasonable access (including electronic access, as applicable) to the Company’s books, records, calculations, work papers and other documentation of Parent related to the Closing Statement, including but not limited to the individuals responsible for preparing the Closing Statement, as they may reasonably require for the purpose of verifying, and resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised in, the Closing Statement; provided that such access shall be in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Parent or the Company.

(iii) Unless the Stockholder Representative delivers the Dispute Notice within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Net Working Capital, such Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet,” and the Closing Calculations and the Adjustment Amount, shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholder Representative, and each shall be binding upon the Company Equityholder and Parent and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If the Stockholder Representative disagrees with the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Calculations or the Adjustment Amount, the Stockholder Representative may, within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, notify Parent in writing (the “Dispute Notice”), which Dispute Notice shall provide reasonable detail of the nature of each disputed item on the Closing Balance Sheet, including all supporting documentation thereto, and the Stockholder Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all other items and amounts contained in the Closing Balance Sheet delivered pursuant to this Section 2.15(b)(iii). Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall first use

 

35


commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute between themselves in good faith, and, if Parent and the Stockholder Representative are able to resolve such dispute, the Closing Balance Sheet shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet”, and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Equityholders and Parent and shall not be subject to dispute or review, and the Closing Calculations and the Adjustment Amount as revised shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Equityholders and Parent and shall not be subject to dispute or review. If Parent and the Stockholder Representative are unable to resolve the dispute within fifteen (15) days (or such longer period as Parent and the Stockholder Representative mutually agree) after receipt by Parent of the Dispute Notice, Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall submit the dispute to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm selected by Parent and the Stockholder Representative which shall not have been engaged for any material matter, directly or indirectly, by any party hereto within the preceding two (2) years (the “Accountants”). The Accountants shall be directed to act as experts and not arbiters and shall be directed to determine only those items that remain in dispute on the Closing Balance Sheet, the Closing Calculations and the Adjustment Amount, in each case in accordance with GAAP and the Accounting Principles, to the extent such Accounting Principles are in accordance with GAAP. Each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall furnish to the Accountants such workpapers and other documents and information relating to such objections as the Accountants may reasonably request and are available to that party or its Affiliates (or its independent public accountants) and will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material relating to the determination of the matters in dispute and to discuss such determination with the Accountants. Each of Parent and the Stockholder Representative shall assign a value to each disputed item and the Accountants shall determine each disputed item separately (based on the determination that most closely complies with the terms of this Agreement), but shall not assign a value to any disputed item that is greater than the greatest value for such disputed item assigned to it by either party or less than the smallest value for such disputed item assigned to it by either party. Promptly, but no later than thirty (30) days after engagement, the Accountants shall deliver a written report to Parent and the Stockholder Representative as to the resolution of the disputed items, the resulting Final Balance Sheet as determined by the Accountants shall be deemed the “Final Closing Balance Sheet,” shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Equityholders and Parent and shall not be subject to dispute or review, and the resulting Closing Calculations and the resulting Adjustment Amount as revised shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company Equityholders and Parent and shall not be subject to dispute or review. The fees and expenses of the Accountants in connection with the resolution of disputes pursuant to this Section 2.15(b)(iii) shall be borne pro rata as between Parent and the Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Equityholders) as a Transaction Expense, in proportion to the allocation of the dollar value of the amounts in dispute as between Parent and the Stockholder Representative (set forth in the written submissions to the Accountants) made by the Accountants such that the party prevailing on the greater dollar value of such disputes pays the less proportion of the fees and expenses. For example, if the Stockholder Representative challenges items in the net amount of $1,000,000 and the Accountants determine that Parent has a valid claim for $400,000 of the $1,000,000, Parent shall bear sixty percent (60%) of the fees and expenses of the Accountants and the

 

36


Stockholder Representative (on behalf of the Company Equityholders) shall bear the remaining forty percent (40%) of the fees and expenses of the Accountants as a Transaction Expense. Parent and the Stockholder Representative agree that they will, and agree to cause their respective representatives and independent accountants to, cooperate and assist in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and in the conduct of the reviews referred to in this Section 2.15(b)(iii), including the making promptly available to the extent necessary of books, records, work papers and personnel.

(iv) The Base Cash Consideration, shall be adjusted, dollar for dollar, downwards to the extent that the Adjustment Amount is negative and upwards to the extent the Adjustment Amount is positive. The “Adjustment Amount” means an amount equal to the sum of (A) the difference between the Closing Net Working Capital minus the Estimated Net Working Capital, (B) the Estimated Transaction Expenses minus the Closing Transaction Expenses set forth on the Final Closing Balance Sheet, (C) the Estimated Debt minus the amount the Closing Debt set forth on the Final Closing Balance Sheet and (D) the Closing Cash set forth on the Final Closing Balance Sheet minus the Estimated Cash. Within five (5) Business Days following the determination of the Closing Calculations in accordance with Section 2.15(b)(iii), (x) if the Adjustment Amount is negative, Parent shall be entitled to first recover from the Adjustment Escrow Fund and then, to the extent necessary, at Parent’s option, either from the Indemnification Escrow Fund or directly from the Company Equityholders based on their Pro Rata Shares as set forth on the Merger Consideration Spreadsheet, a total amount equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount (which amount shall be payable by the Escrow Agent to Parent within five (5) Business Days of such determination), and any amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Fund after any amounts payable to Parent pursuant to this clause (x) have been paid in full be released to the Payments Administrator for distribution to the Company Equityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share; and (y) if the Adjustment Amount is positive, Parent shall make a cash payment to the Payments Administrator in the amount of the Adjustment Amount for distribution to the Company Equityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share and any amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Fund shall be released to the Payments Administrator for distribution to the Company Equityholders in accordance with their Pro Rata Share.

2.16 No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no fractional shares of Parent Series C Stock shall be issued in exchange for any Company Capital Stock, and no holder of any of the foregoing shall be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Series C Stock. In the event that any holder of Company Capital Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fractional share of Parent Series C Stock (after aggregating all shares and fractional shares of Parent Series C Stock issuable to such holder), then such holder shall be paid an amount in Dollars (without interest) determined by multiplying (a) the Parent Series C Stock Price by (b) the fraction of a share of Parent Series C Stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled. The Parties acknowledge that payment of cash consideration in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Parent Series C Stock was not separately bargained for consideration but represents merely a mechanical rounding off for purposes of simplifying the problems that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Parent Series C Stock.

 

37


2.17 Transfers of Ownership. If any certificate for shares of Parent Series C Stock is to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificate so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such exchange will have paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of a certificate for shares of Parent Series C Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or will have established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such Tax has been paid or is not payable.

2.18 Tax Consequences. The Integrated Merger is intended to be treated a single transaction that qualifies as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, and this Agreement is intended to constitute a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3. Each party hereto shall cause all Tax Returns relating to the Integrated Merger to be filed on the basis of treating the Integrated Merger as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code, including filing the statement required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-3, unless otherwise required by a “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code), and will not knowingly take any action, allow any action to be taken or fail to take any action required hereby that could reasonably be expected to prevent or impede the Integrated Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Except for the covenants in this Section 2.18, and representations set forth in Sections 4.1 and 4.18 of this Agreement, Parent does not make any representations or warranties to the Company or to any Company Equityholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Integrated Merger, or any of the Tax consequences to the Company or any Company Equityholder of this Agreement, the Integrated Merger or any of the other transactions or securityholders of the agreements contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that the Company and the Company Equityholders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement. Each Party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is relying solely on its own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions and agreements contemplated hereby.

2.19 Stockholder Representative Expense Amount. Prior to the Closing, the Company will wire to the Stockholder Representative $100,000.00 (the “Stockholder Representative Expense Amount”), which will be held by the Stockholder Representative as agent and for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock in a segregated client account and which will be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Stockholder Representative for, any third party expenses pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, any Stockholder Representative engagement agreement and any Related Agreements. The Company Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholder Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholder Representative will hold the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes, and will

 

38


not voluntarily make it available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Stockholder Representative is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund other than as a result of its Fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Stockholder Representative’s responsibilities, the Stockholder Representative will deliver the balance of the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund to the Payments Administrator for distribution to the Company Equityholders immediately prior to the First Effective Time, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares as instructed by the Stockholder Representative in writing. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Stockholder Representative Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Company Equityholders at the First Effective Time.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby by the Company does not implicate any rights or obligations under the Company Investor Agreements that have not been complied with or waived. The holders of Company Capital Stock and Company Stock Rights have been or will be properly given or shall have properly waived any required notice prior to the Merger.

(i) states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it may or will incur liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and

 

117


(ii) specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable, the Losses included in the amount so stated, the date (if any) such item was paid or properly accrued, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder; provided, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnified Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability or obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent.

(b) Objections. If the Indemnifying Party objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties within sixty (60) days of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party has objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party agree with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement and, if applicable, an instruction to the Escrow Agent. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party fail to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts, then each party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving the claim for indemnification.

(c) Third Party Claims.

(i) The Indemnified Party shall, subject to Section 9.5(c)(iv) and the rights of the R&W Insurer to assume the defense of any such Loss or legal proceeding pursuant to the R&W Insurance Policies, permit the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnification limitation contained herein) and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of written notice of such Loss, to assume the defense of any such Loss or legal proceeding; provided, that, the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its responsibility to indemnify, defend and hold the Indemnified Party harmless in connection with such Loss and any obligations resulting therefrom, including any settlement or judgment related thereto. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any such Loss or legal proceeding, the Indemnifying Party shall select counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party to conduct the defense of such Loss or legal proceeding, shall diligently conduct such defense, and shall take all steps reasonably necessary in the defense or settlement thereof. The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any order arising from, any such Loss or legal proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless

 

118


the order or proposed settlement (i) involves solely the payment of money damages, (ii) is fully recoverable under the R&W Insurance Policies or pursuant to an available escrow amount hereunder, (iii) does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon the Indemnified Party, and (iv) provides for the express and unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim with prejudice and does not require any admission of wrongdoing, in which case no consent will be required. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in (but not control) the defense of any such action, with its own counsel and at its sole cost and expense. An Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that such consent shall not be required in the event that such settlement expressly releases the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities and obligations with respect to such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to indemnification hereunder shall not be affected by any failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice (or by delay by the Indemnified Party in giving such notice) unless, and then only to the extent that, the rights and remedies of the Indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of the failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice. For all purposes hereof, all notices that relate to any Loss for which a Parent Indemnified Party may seek indemnification pursuant to this Article IX shall, to the extent that the Loss is or may be covered by the R&W Insurance Policies, also be provided to the R&W Insurer.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Loss of a third party or legal proceeding resulting therefrom in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.5, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Loss or legal proceeding in such manner as it reasonably deems appropriate.

(iii) With respect to any defense of a Loss of a third party or a legal proceeding resulting therefrom, each party shall cooperate in good faith and in all respects with each other Party and its representatives (including its counsel) in the investigation, negotiation, settlement, trial and/or defense of such Loss or legal proceeding (and any appeal arising therefrom). The Parties shall cooperate with each other in any notifications to and information requests of any insurers. No individual representative of any Person, or its respective Affiliates, shall be personally liable for any Loss or Losses under this Agreement, except as specifically agreed to by said individual representative or as set forth in this Agreement.

(iv) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.5(c)(i), the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to control, but may participate in, at its own expense (or, if the Stockholder Representative represents such Indemnifying Party, at the expense of the Company Equityholders), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to control, the defense or settlement (including the selection of counsel) of any claim that (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations or regulatory enforcement actions, (C) involves or relates to current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of the business the Any member of the Company Group, (D) if successful, would set a precedent that would materially interfere with, or have a material adverse effect on, the business or financial condition of the Company or its reputation or continuing business interests (including its relationships

 

119


with current or potential customers, suppliers or other parties material to the conduct of its business), (E) may impose liability on the part of the Indemnified Party for which the Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, or (F) gives rise to a conflict of interest that, under applicable principles of legal ethics, in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party, would prohibit a single counsel from representing both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such claim.

(d) Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Indemnifying Party did not object in writing within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 9.4(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution by arbitration or of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claims within five (5) Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.

9.6 Stockholder Representative; Power of Attorney.

(a) Appointment; Authority. By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger by the Company Equityholders, each Company Equityholder (regardless of whether or not such Company Equityholder votes in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Merger, whether at a meeting or by written consent in lieu thereof) hereby initially appoints, as of the date of this Agreement, Shareholder Representative Services LLC (together with its permitted successors, the “Stockholder Representative”), as his, her or its true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact to enter into any Related Agreement and any other agreement in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and to, after the Closing: (i) give and receive notices and communications to or from Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Party) and/or the Escrow Agent relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby; (ii) authorize deliveries (including by means of not objecting to claims) to Parent of cash from the Escrow Amount; (iii) object to any claims pursuant to Section 9.4; (iv) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims; (v) assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and agree to arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party, against any such Company Equityholder or by any such Company Equityholder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Company Equityholder, in each case relating to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; (vi) to the extent permitted by applicable Law, amend this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any other Related Agreement or any other agreement referred to herein or contemplated hereby; and (vii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholder Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing, in each case without having to seek or obtain the

 

120


consent of any Person under any circumstance. The Stockholder Representative may resign at any time. The Stockholder Representative may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Amount upon not less than ten (10) days’ prior written notice to Parent and with Parent’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder Representative. Notices or communications to or from the Stockholder Representative after the Closing shall constitute notice to or from each of the Company Equityholders. The Stockholder Representative accepts its appointment hereunder.

(b) No Liability. The Stockholder Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Stockholder Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholder Representative will incur no liability of any kind while acting in good faith and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Company Equityholders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Stockholder Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Stockholder Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholder Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Stockholder Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Stockholder Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Stockholder Representative, the Stockholder Representative will reimburse the Company Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Stockholder Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Stockholder Representative by the Company Equityholders, any such Stockholder Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholder Representative from (i) the funds designated as the Stockholder Representative Expense Amount, and (ii) the amounts in the Adjustment Escrow Account and Indemnification Escrow Amount at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Company Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Stockholder Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Company Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Stockholder Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Stockholder Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Stockholder Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Company Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of the Company Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Stockholder Representative under this Section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Stockholder Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

 

121


(c) Access. The Stockholder Representative shall have reasonable access to relevant information about the Company and the reasonable assistance of the Company’s employees for purposes of performing its duties and exercising its rights hereunder.

(d) Notice. Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Stockholder Representative shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Company Equityholders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Company Equityholder; and each Parent Indemnified Party and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Company Equityholder. Each Parent Indemnified Party are hereby relieved from any liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent or instruction of the Stockholder Representative.

(e) Role of Stockholder Representative. Without limiting the generality or effect of Section 9.5(a), any and all claims and disputes between or among any Indemnified Party, the Stockholder Representative and/or any one or more Company Equityholders relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall in the case of any claim or dispute asserted by or against or involving any such Company Equityholder (other than any claim against or dispute with the Stockholder Representative), be asserted or otherwise addressed solely by the Stockholder Representative on behalf of such Company Equityholder (and not by such Company Equityholder acting on its own behalf).

(c) The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

Except for the Nondisclosure Agreement, this Agreement, the Related Agreements, the Schedules and Exhibits hereto and thereto, and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the Parties hereto referenced herein constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

11.8 Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

11.11 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH OF THE PARTIES (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTIES HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.11.

11.12 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Without prejudice to remedies at law, the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance or other equitable relief, including injunctive relief, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

11.13 Counterparts; Facsimile Delivery. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof

signed by the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). Any signature page delivered electronically or by facsimile (including transmission by Portable Document Format or other fixed image form) shall be binding to the same extent as an original signature page.

Conflict of Interest Waiver. If the Stockholder Representative so desires, acting on behalf of the Company Equityholders and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or Parent, Cooley LLP (“Cooley”) will be permitted to represent the Company Equityholders after the Closing in connection with any matter, including without limitation, anything related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other agreements referenced in this Agreement or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, Cooley will be permitted to represent the Company Equityholders, any of their agents and affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Parent, the LLC or any of their agents or affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims or disputes arising under other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any indemnification claims. Upon and after the Closing, the LLC will cease to have any attorney- client relationship with Cooley, unless and to the extent Cooley is specifically engaged in writing by the LLC to represent the LLC after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to the Company Equityholders or the Stockholder Representative consents in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the LLC by Cooley after the Closing will not affect the foregoing provisions of this Agreement.

11.14 Attorney-Client Privilege. At and after the Second Effective Time, the attorney- client privilege of the Company, solely to the extent related to the negotiation of the terms of the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (together, the “Merger Communications”), will be deemed to be the right of the Company Equityholders, and not that of the LLC, and may be waived only by the Stockholder Representative. Absent the consent of the Stockholder Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), neither Parent nor the LLC will have a right to access attorney-client privileged material of the Company for Merger Communications, provided, that no breach of this sentence shall entitle nay person to any monetary damages.
