B.        Following the consummation of the Offer, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Purchaser will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) with the Company as the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Corporation”) in accordance with the DGCL, whereby each Share, except as otherwise provided herein, will be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.

C.        The Board of Directors of the Company has unanimously determined that this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, has unanimously approved this Agreement and the Transactions in accordance with the DGCL, and has unanimously resolved to recommend that the stockholders of the Company accept the offer and tender their Shares to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer.

E.        The Board of Directors of Purchaser has determined that, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interests of Purchaser and its stockholders, and has approved this Agreement and the Transactions.

F.        The Merger shall be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.


AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

Section 1.       The Offer

1.1       The Offer.

   (a)      Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Section 8, and that all of the conditions set forth in clauses 2(a), (b), (c), (d), (g), (h) and (i) of Annex I shall then be satisfied (in the case of clause 2(d), with respect to covenants and obligations that the Company is required to comply with or to perform prior to such time) or waived by Parent or Purchaser, as promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement but in no event more than ten (10) business days after the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer.

   (b)      Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the prior satisfaction of the Minimum Condition and the satisfaction or waiver by Purchaser of the other conditions set forth in Annex I (collectively, the “Offer Conditions”), after the Expiration Date, as herein defined, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) consummate the Offer in accordance with its terms, and promptly accept for payment and promptly thereafter pay for all Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.

   (c)      The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Minimum Condition and the other Offer Conditions. Purchaser expressly reserves the right to (i) increase the Offer Price, (ii) waive any Offer Condition other than the Minimum Condition and (iii) make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that unless otherwise provided by this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not (A) decrease the Offer Price, (B) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (C) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, (D) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions, (E) amend or modify any of the Offer Conditions in a manner that adversely affects holders of Shares generally, (F) change the Minimum Condition, or (G) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date in a manner other than as required or permitted by this Agreement. The Offer may not be terminated prior to the Expiration Date, unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.

   (d)      Unless extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight (New York City time) on the date that is twenty (20) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer (the “Initial Expiration Date”) or, in the event the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the date and time to which the Offer has been so extended (the Initial Expiration Date, or such later date and time to which the Initial Expiration Date has been extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, is referred to as the “Expiration Date”).

 

2


   (e)      The Offer shall be extended from time to time as follows:

(1)      If on the scheduled Expiration Date, the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied or any of the other Offer Conditions have not been satisfied, or waived by Parent or Purchaser if permitted hereunder, then Purchaser shall extend the Offer for one or more periods of not more than five (5) business days each (the length of such periods to be determined by Parent) or such other number of business days as the parties may agree (subject to the right of Purchaser to waive any Offer Condition (other than the Minimum Condition) in accordance with this Agreement and the parties’ respective rights to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement, other than pursuant to Section 8.1(b)); and

(2)      Purchaser shall extend the Offer for the minimum period required by applicable Legal Requirements, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ or its staff.

   (f)      The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and at or prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, and such adjustment to the Offer Price shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action; provided that nothing in this Section 1.1(f) shall be construed to permit the Company to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

   (g)      Purchaser may (and the Offer Documents may reserve the right of Purchaser to) provide for a subsequent offering period (within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act) in compliance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act of not less than three (3) nor more than twenty (20) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) immediately following the expiration of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Parent shall cause Purchaser to, and Purchaser shall, accept and pay for all Shares validly tendered during any such subsequent offering period in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act.

   (h)      In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer, shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

   (i)      As promptly as practicable on the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Purchaser shall

 

3


(i) file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) that will contain or incorporate by reference the Offer to Purchase and form of the related letter of transmittal and (ii) cause the Offer to Purchase and related documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares. Parent and Purchaser agree that they shall cause the Schedule TO and all exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto (which together constitute the “Offer Documents”) filed by either Parent or Purchaser with the SEC to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and other applicable Legal Requirements. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent further agrees to use all reasonable efforts to promptly cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and to promptly be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Legal Requirements. The Company shall promptly furnish or otherwise make available to Parent and Purchaser or Parent’s legal counsel all information concerning the Acquired Corporations and the Company’s stockholders that may be required in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(i) including communicating the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of the Shares. The Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. Parent and Purchaser agree to provide the Company and its counsel with any comments Parent, Purchaser or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments. Each of Parent and Purchaser shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents or the Offer.

   (j)      Without limiting the generality of Section 9.12, Parent shall cause to be provided to Purchaser all of the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer, and shall cause Purchaser to perform, on a timely basis, all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement. Parent and Purchaser shall, and each of Parent and Purchaser shall ensure that all of their respective controlled Affiliates shall, tender any Shares held by them into the Offer.

1.2      Company Actions.

   (a)      The Company hereby consents to the Offer and represents that its Board of Directors, at a meeting duly called and held, has unanimously (i) determined that this Agreement and the Transactions are advisable and in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders, (ii) approved and declared advisable this Agreement and the Transactions in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL, and (iii) resolved to recommend that stockholders of the Company accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (such recommendation set forth in this clause (iii) the “Company Board Recommendation”). Subject to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.2(c), the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents.

   (b)      None of the Company, the Board of Directors of the Company or any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withhold, fail to include in (or remove from) the Schedule 14D-9, withdraw, qualify or modify (or resolve, determine or propose to withhold, fail to include

 

4


in (or remove from) the Schedule 14D-9, withdraw, qualify or modify) the Company Board Recommendation or (B) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable (or resolve, determine or propose to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable) any Acquisition Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as an “Adverse Change Recommendation”) or (ii) adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable (or resolve, determine or propose to adopt, approve, recommend, submit to stockholders or declare advisable), or allow any Acquired Corporation to execute or enter into, any Contract constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would be reasonably likely to lead to, any Acquisition Transaction, or requiring or reasonably likely to cause the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the Transactions (any such Contract, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), except as expressly permitted by Section 1.2(c) or 5.4(a).

   (c)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to Purchaser accepting, for the first time, for payment Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (the “Offer Acceptance Time”), the Company’s Board of Directors may make an Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement if and only if: (i) the Company is not in breach of Section 5.4; (ii) the Company’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make the Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; (iii) Parent shall have received from the Company prior written notice of the Company’s intention to make an Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement at least four (4) business days prior to making any Adverse Change Recommendation or terminating this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement (a “Change of Recommendation Notice”); (iv) if the decision to make an Adverse Change Recommendation is not in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, then (A) an Intervening Event shall have occurred, and (B) the Company shall have complied with clauses (x) through (z) as follows: (x) the Change of Recommendation Notice shall have provided a reasonable description of the Intervening Event and the reasons for the Adverse Change Recommendation, (y) the Company shall have given Parent a four (4) business day period following Parent’s receipt of the Change of Recommendation Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (and caused its Representatives to negotiate with Parent) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposals, if any, and (z) after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, the Company’s Board of Directors shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Adverse Change Recommendation would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; and (v) if the decision to make an Adverse Change Recommendation is in connection with an Acquisition Proposal or if the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, then the Company shall comply with clauses (A) through (E) as follows: (A) prior to giving effect to clauses (B) through (E), the Company’s Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that such Acquisition Proposal is a Superior Offer, (B) the Company shall have

 

5


provided to Parent in writing the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal and copies of all material documents relating to such Acquisition Proposal in accordance with Section 5.4, (C) the Company shall have given Parent the four (4) business day period following Parent’s receipt of the Change of Recommendation Notice to propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals and shall have negotiated in good faith with Parent (and caused its Representatives to negotiate with Parent) with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposals, if any, so that the Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Offer and (D) after considering the results of negotiations with Parent and taking into account the proposals made by Parent, if any, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, the Company’s Board of Directors shall have determined in good faith that such Acquisition Proposal remains a Superior Offer and that the failure to make the Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of the Company to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements and (E) if the Company intends to terminate this Agreement to enter into a Specified Agreement, the Company shall have complied with Section 8.1(f). For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 1.2(c) shall also apply to any material amendment to any Acquisition Proposal or any successive Acquisition Proposals (except that any reference to four (4) business days shall instead be two (2) business days). Nothing contained in this Section 1.2(c) shall prohibit the Company’s Board of Directors from taking and disclosing to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or making a statement contemplated by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A or Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that any such disclosure does not contain either an express Adverse Change Recommendation or any other statements by or on behalf of the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company that would reasonably be expected to have the same effect as an Adverse Change Recommendation. Neither the Company nor its Board of Directors shall be permitted to recommend that the Company stockholders tender any securities in connection with any tender or exchange offer or otherwise approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, unless in each case, in connection therewith, the Company’s Board of Directors effects an Adverse Change Recommendation in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

   (d)      As promptly as practicable on the day that the Offer is commenced, the Company shall, following the filing of the Schedule TO, file with the SEC and disseminate to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws, a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with any exhibits, amendments or supplements thereto, the “Schedule 14D-9”) that, subject to Sections 1.2(b) and 1.2(c), shall reflect the Company Board Recommendation. The Schedule 14D-9 shall include as an exhibit an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l promulgated thereunder. The Company agrees that it will cause the Schedule 14D-9 to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Legal Requirements. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company agrees to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company further agrees to use all reasonable efforts to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to promptly be filed with the SEC and to promptly be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required

 

6


by applicable federal securities laws. Parent and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendment thereto prior to the filing thereof with the SEC. The Company agrees to provide Parent and its counsel with any comments the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments. The Company shall respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9.

   (e)      The Company shall promptly furnish Parent with a list of its stockholders, mailing labels and any available listing or computer file containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and lists of securities positions of Shares held in stock depositories, in each case true and correct as of the most recent practicable date, and shall provide to Parent such additional information (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels and lists of securities positions) and such other assistance as Parent may reasonably request in connection with the Offer. Parent and Purchaser and their agents shall hold in confidence the information contained in any such labels, listings and files, shall use such information only in connection with the Offer and the Merger and, if this Agreement shall be terminated, shall, upon request, deliver, and shall use their reasonable efforts to cause their agents to deliver, to the Company (or destroy) all copies and any extracts or summaries from such information then in their possession or control.

1.3      Directors.

   (a)      Upon the Offer Acceptance Time and all times thereafter, subject to compliance with applicable Legal Requirements and the applicable Marketplace Rules of NASDAQ, Purchaser shall be entitled to elect or designate such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Board of Directors of the Company as is equal to the product of (i) the total number of directors on the Board of Directors of the Company (after giving effect to the directors elected or designated by Purchaser pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by (ii) the percentage that the aggregate number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent, Purchaser and any of their Subsidiaries bears to the total number of Shares then outstanding, and Parent shall be entitled to have such designees be elected or appointed to such classes of the Board of Directors of the Company so as to be evenly distributed as possible among the three classes of directors of the Board of Directors of the Company. As used in this Agreement, the terms “beneficial ownership” (and its correlative terms) shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act. The Company and the Board of Directors of the Company shall, upon Purchaser’s request at any time following the purchase of and payment for Shares pursuant to the Offer, take all such actions necessary to (A) appoint to the Board of Directors of the Company the individuals designated by Purchaser and permitted to be so designated by the first sentence of this Section 1.3(a), including promptly filling vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board of Directors of the Company, promptly increasing the size of the Board of Directors of the Company (including by amending the bylaws of the Company if necessary so as to increase the size of the Board of Directors of the Company) and/or promptly securing the resignations of such number of its incumbent directors as are necessary or desirable to enable Purchaser’s designees to be so elected or designated to the Board of Directors of the Company, and (B) cause Purchaser’s designees to be so appointed at such time. The Company shall, upon Purchaser’s request following the Offer Acceptance Time, also cause Persons elected or designated by Purchaser to constitute the same percentage (rounded up to the next whole

 

7


number) as is on the Board of Directors of the Company of each committee of the Board of Directors of the Company to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements and the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules. From and after the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company shall, at Parent’s request, take all action necessary to elect to be treated as a “controlled company” as defined by NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5615(c)(1) and make all necessary filings and disclosures associated with such status. The Company’s obligations under this Section 1.3(a) shall be subject to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l promulgated thereunder. The Company shall promptly upon execution of this Agreement take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l in order to fulfill its obligations under this Section 1.3(a), including mailing to stockholders (together with the Schedule 14D-9) the information required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l as is necessary to enable Purchaser’s designees to be elected or designated to the Board of Directors of the Company. Purchaser shall supply the Company with, and be solely responsible for, information with respect to Purchaser’s designees and Parent’s and Purchaser’s respective officers, directors and Affiliates to the extent required by Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-l. The provisions of this Section 1.3(a) are in addition to and shall not limit any rights that any of Purchaser, Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries may have as a record holder or beneficial owner of Shares as a matter of applicable Legal Requirements with respect to the election of directors or otherwise.

   (b)      In the event that Purchaser’s designees are elected or designated to the Board of Directors of the Company pursuant to Section 1.3(a), then, until the Effective Time, the Company shall cause the Board of Directors of the Company to maintain three (3) directors who are members of the Board of Directors of the Company on or prior to the date hereof and who are not officers, directors or employees of Parent, Purchaser, or any of their Subsidiaries, each of whom shall be an “independent director” as defined by Rule 5605(a)(2) of the NASDAQ Marketplace Rules and eligible to serve on the Company’s audit committee under the Exchange Act and NASDAQ Marketplace Rules, and at least one of whom shall be an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Items 407(d)(5)(ii) and (iii) of Regulation S-K (the “Continuing Directors”); provided, however, that if any Continuing Director is unable to serve due to death, disability or resignation, the Company shall take all necessary action (including creating a committee of the Board of Directors of the Company) so that the Continuing Director(s) shall be entitled to elect or designate another Person (or Persons) to fill such vacancy, and such Person (or Persons) shall be deemed to be a Continuing Director for purposes of this Agreement. If no Continuing Director then remains, the other directors shall designate three (3) Persons who are not officers, directors or employees of Parent, Purchaser, or any of their Affiliates, and who do not otherwise have any material financial or other material interest in or material relationship with Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, to fill such vacancies and such Persons shall be deemed Continuing Directors for all purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Purchaser’s designees constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company after the Offer Acceptance Time and prior to the Effective Time, then the affirmative vote of a majority of the Continuing Directors shall (in addition to the approval rights of the Board of Directors of the Company or the stockholders of the Company as may be required by the Company Charter Documents or applicable Legal Requirements) be required (i) for the Company to amend or terminate this Agreement, (ii) to exercise or waive any of the Company’s rights, benefits or remedies hereunder, if such action would adversely affect, or would reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the holders of Shares (other than Parent or

Purchaser), (iii) to amend the Company Charter Documents if such action would adversely affect the holders of Shares (other than Parent or Purchaser), or (iv) to take any other action of the Board of Directors of the Company under or in connection with this Agreement if such action would materially and adversely affect, or would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect, the holders of Shares (other than Parent or Purchaser). The Continuing Directors shall have, and Parent shall cause the Continuing Directors to have, the authority to retain such counsel (which may include counsel to the Company or the Board of Directors of the Company as of the date of this Agreement) in reasonable circumstances and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Continuing Directors, and the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement.

2.6      Conversion of Shares.

   (a)      At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Purchaser, the Company or any stockholder of the Company:

(i)      any Shares then held by the Company or any wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (or held in the Company’s treasury) shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(ii)      any Shares then held by Parent, Purchaser or any other wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor;

(iii)      except as provided in clauses (i) and (ii) above and subject to Section 2.6(b), each Share then outstanding (other than any Dissenting Shares, as defined below) shall be converted into the right to receive the Offer Price (the “Merger Consideration”), without interest, subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Legal Requirements in accordance with Section 2.7(f); and

(iv)      each share of the common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, of Purchaser then outstanding shall be converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

At the Effective Time, all such Shares shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and any certificates evidencing such shares (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor.

   (b)      Without duplication of any adjustment made pursuant to Section 1.1(f), the Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately and proportionately to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock), reorganization,

 

10


recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and at or prior to the Effective Time, and such adjustment to the Merger Consideration shall provide to the holders of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such action.

2.7      Surrender of Certificates; Stock Transfer Books.

   (a)      Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the holders of Shares to receive the funds to which holders of such Shares shall become entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of Sections 1.1(i) and 9.12, as of each of the Offer Acceptance Time and Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause Purchaser to, deposit with the Paying Agent all of the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer and in respect of the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid in respect of the Shares, as applicable (the “Payment Fund”). To the extent the Payment Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required to make prompt payment of the amounts described in the preceding sentence, Parent and Purchaser shall promptly replace or restore the lost portion of such fund so as to ensure that it is maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments. The Payment Fund shall be invested by the Paying Agent as directed by Parent.

   (b)      Promptly after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be mailed to each Person who was, at the Effective Time, a holder of record of Shares entitled to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6 (i) a form of letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or non-certificated Shares represented by book-entry (the “Book-Entry Shares”) pursuant to such letter of transmittal. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration for each Share formerly evidenced by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall then be canceled. No interest shall accrue or be paid on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of any Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for the benefit of the holder thereof. If the payment of any Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificates formerly evidencing Shares is registered on the stock transfer books of the Company, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be endorsed properly or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid all transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Taxes either have been paid or are not applicable. Payment of the applicable Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the Person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

 

11


   (c)      At any time following the 180th day after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to require the Paying Agent to deliver to it any funds which had been made available to the Paying Agent and not disbursed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (including all interest and other income received by the Paying Agent in respect of all funds made available to it), and, thereafter, such holders shall be entitled to look to the Surviving Corporation (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar Legal Requirements) only as general creditors thereof with respect to any Merger Consideration that may be payable upon due surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares held by them. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for any Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such share to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Legal Requirements.

   (d)      No dividends or other distributions with respect to capital stock of the Surviving Corporation with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

   (e)      At the close of business on the day of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company with respect to Shares shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Shares on the records of the Company. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Shares except as otherwise provided herein or by applicable Legal Requirements. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate is presented to the Surviving Corporation, Parent or the Paying Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the cash amount in immediately available funds to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to this Section 2.7.

   (f)      The Surviving Corporation, Parent and Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Paying Agent to deduct and withhold) from the Merger Consideration payable to any holder of Shares such amounts as it is required by any Legal Requirement to deduct and withhold with respect to Taxes. Each such payor shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so withheld are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Body. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid to the appropriate Governmental Body in accordance with all Legal Requirements, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

   (g)      In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an effective affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, which shall include an agreement to indemnify and defend and hold harmless Parent, the Surviving Corporation and the Paying Agent from and against any and all costs, claims, losses, judgments, damages, counsel fees, expenses and liabilities whatsoever which each may suffer, sustain or incur in connection with the failure of any statement, representation or warranty set forth in such affidavit, any payment for or transfer, exchange or delivery of such Certificate and such Person’s inability to locate such Certificate, and, if required by Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the

 

12


Paying Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate a check in the amount (after giving effect to any required tax withholdings as provided in Section 2.7(f)) equal to the number of Shares represented by such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate that have been surrendered multiplied by the per Share Merger Consideration.

   2.8      Appraisal Rights. The Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a holder who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal for such Shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration and shall entitle such holder only to payment for such Dissenting Shares in accordance with and to the extent provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, unless such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal of its Shares. If after the Effective Time such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses such holder’s right to appraisal, each such Share shall be treated as if it had been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive the Merger Consideration without any interest thereon (less any amounts entitled to be deducted or withheld pursuant to Section 2.7(f)). The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of Shares, and Parent shall have the right to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands. Parent shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Company, require the Company to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal or offer to settle or settle any such demands.

   2.9      Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Purchaser and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Purchaser, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

   (c)      The Company maintains, and at all times since December 31, 2011 has maintained, a system of internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) which is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, and includes those policies and procedures that:

(i)      pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Acquired Corporations; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the assets of the Acquired Corporations that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

   (e)      None of the Acquired Corporations is a party to or has any obligation or other commitment to become a party to any securitization transaction, off-balance sheet partnership or any similar Contract (including any Contract relating to any transaction or relationship between or among the Acquired Corporations, on the one hand, and any unconsolidated Affiliate, including any structured finance, special purpose or limited purpose Entity, on the other hand, or any “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as defined in Item 303(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act)) where the result, purpose or intended effect of such Contract is to avoid disclosure of any material transaction involving, or material liabilities of, any Acquired Corporation in any Acquired Corporation’s published financial statements or other Company SEC Documents.

   (f)      Other than as publicly available in the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval database of the SEC (“EDGAR”), there have been no written inquiries, interrogatories or comments with respect to any of the Company SEC Documents from the SEC received since December 31, 2011, and the Company has not been made aware of any such inquiries, interrogatories or comments that were oral.

   (e)      To the knowledge of the Company, the operation of the business of the Acquired Corporations as currently conducted does not, and, to the same extent the Acquired Corporations’ business is currently conducted in the United States, the operation of such business on a worldwide basis would not, infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any Intellectual Property Rights owned by another Person, except as has not had or would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Acquired Corporations or a material adverse impact on any Key Product. Except as set forth on Part 3.8(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule and since December 31, 2010, (i) no Legal Proceeding has been asserted, is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, is being threatened, against any of the Acquired Corporations relating to any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights of another Person by any of the Acquired Corporations, and (ii) none of the Acquired Corporations has received any written notice (including any written offers to license) alleging any infringement, misappropriation or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights of another Person by any of the Acquired Corporations.

51


Proposal that is submitted after the date of this Agreement to the Company by such Person (and not withdrawn) if (1) neither the Company nor any Representative of any of the Acquired Corporations shall have breached any of the provisions set forth in Section 1.2(c) or this Section 5.4, (2) the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel and its financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation, that such bona-fide written Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Offer or would reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Offer and that the failure to take such action would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Company’s Board of Directors to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements, (3) at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to furnishing any such information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, Parent receives written notice from the Company of the identity of such Person and of the Company’s intention to furnish information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person, and the Company receives from such Person an executed confidentiality agreement in a customary form that is no less favorable to the Company than the Confidentiality Agreement (an “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement”) (which the Company may negotiate with the Person during the twenty-four (24) hour notice period and enter into during such period or thereafter), and (4) the Company concurrently furnishes all such information to Parent (to the extent such information has not been previously furnished or made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any breach of any of the restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence by any Representative of the Company or any Acquired Corporation, whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of the Company or any Acquired Corporation, shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 5.4 by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Acquired Corporations and their Representatives may, following receipt of an Acquisition Proposal from any Person, communicate with such Person to the extent necessary to direct such Person to the provisions of this Section 5.4.

    (b)      During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly (and in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours after receipt thereof) advise Parent orally and in writing of any Acquisition Proposal, any inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or any request for nonpublic information relating to any of the Acquired Corporations, including (A) the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request, (B) a copy of all written materials provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request and (C) a written summary of all material oral communications made by any Person during the Pre-Closing Period. After receipt of the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest or request, the Company shall continue promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) to keep Parent informed orally or in writing of the status, terms and pertinent details of any such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request (including by providing prompt notice of all material amendments or proposed material amendments thereto) and shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) provide to Parent a copy of all written materials subsequently provided in connection with such Acquisition Proposal, inquiry, indication of interest, proposal, offer or request.

    (c)        As of the date of this Agreement, the Company shall immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing discussions with any Person that relate to any

 

52


Acquisition Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall promptly (but in no event later than forty-eight (48) hours following the execution of this Agreement) demand that each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or any of its or their Representatives with respect to such Person’s consideration of a possible Acquisition Proposal at any time after January 1, 2013 (other than agreements that have expired by their terms) to immediately return or destroy (which destruction shall subsequently be certified in writing by such Person to the Company if such Person is required to do so pursuant to the terms of the non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement between such Person and the Company) all confidential information heretofore furnished by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Affiliates or Representatives to such Person, its Subsidiaries or any of its or their Affiliates or Representatives.

  (c)      Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.1, each party hereto shall (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding by or before any Governmental Body with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep the other parties reasonably informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Body to the extent regarding the Transactions or regarding any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, and provide a copy of all written communications.

In addition, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Body or by any Legal Requirement, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, each party hereto will permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in connection with any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Body in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding.

The foregoing conversion shall be determined and interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unvested Company Option held by an individual who is a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the Effective Time shall become vested and exercisable in full upon the Effective Time and will be treated in accordance with Section 6.2(a)(i). “Good Reason” means the resignation of a Continuing Employee following, without the Continuing Employee’s consent, (i) a reduction in the Continuing Employee’s annual base salary or base hourly wage rate or bonus opportunity as set forth in the second sentence of the first paragraph of Section 6.3, (ii) a relocation of a Continuing Employee’s primary location of employment by more than fifty (50) miles from their employment location immediately prior to the Effective Time or (iii) a materially adverse diminution of a Continuing Employee’s duties, causing such duties to be fundamentally inconsistent with those in effect immediately before the Effective Time, that remains uncured thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of written notice of such diminution from the Continuing Employee, but expressly excluding any change resulting from the Company becoming a subsidiary of Parent, any change in who the Continuing Employee reports to and any requirement to assist with transitioning the Continuing Employee’s work to another person.

At the Effective Time, each right of any kind, contingent or accrued, to receive Shares or benefits measured by the value of a number of Shares, and each award of any kind consisting of Shares (including any Shares subject to vesting restrictions and/or forfeiture or repurchase by the Company (“Company Restricted Shares”)), granted under any of the Company Equity Plans that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Company Options, Company RSUs, Company PSUs and the ESPP Purchase Rights) (each, a “Company Stock Award”) shall, automatically and without any required action on the part of the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive (without interest), an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings) equal to the product of (A) the Offer Price and (B) the number of Shares underlying such Company Stock Award, payable in a lump sum as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the second payroll period) after the date such Company Stock Award vests; provided that any unvested former Company Stock Award shall remain subject to the same vesting schedule and other relevant terms as in effect immediately before the Effective Time and the holder of such Company Stock Award must remain in service to Parent, the Company or any of their affiliates through the applicable vesting date to receive payment in respect thereof; provided, further, that any former Company Stock Award that, per its terms, remains outstanding and unvested as of December 15, 2013, shall vest on December 15, 2013 and the cash amount determined pursuant to this Section 6.2(c) in respect thereof shall be paid no later than December 31, 2013 or shall vest in full earlier if the Company Stock Award holder’s service to Parent, the Company or their affiliates terminates without “Cause” (within the meaning of the Company’s Employee Severance Plan as in effect immediately before the date hereof) or for Good Reason, in which case payment of the amounts herein shall be made by no later than the second payroll period after the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any unvested Company Restricted Shares held by an individual who is a non-employee member of the Board of Directors of the Company at the Effective Time shall become vested and exercisable in full upon the Effective Time and will be treated in accordance with this Section 6.2(c).

With respect to the offering periods that are in effect on the date of this Agreement, each ESPP Purchase Right shall be exercised in accordance with the terms of the ESPP on the regularly scheduled purchase dates for such offering period; provided that if the Closing Date occurs prior to a purchase date for an offering period, then each ESPP participant’s accumulated payroll deductions under the ESPP shall be used to purchase Shares in accordance with the terms of the ESPP and the ESPP Purchase Right for such offering period shall be exercised immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, that the applicable purchase price per Share as set forth in the ESPP shall not be decreased below levels set forth in the ESPP as of the date hereof. All Shares purchased under the ESPP, shall, as of the Effective Time, be cancelled and converted into only the right to receive (without interest), an amount in cash (less applicable Tax withholdings), payable as soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than the second payroll period) after the Effective Time, equal to the product of (i) the Offer Price and (ii) the number of such Shares purchased by such holder in the ESPP that is cancelled.

6.3      Employee Benefits. For a period commencing upon the Effective Time and continuing through December 31, 2014, Parent shall provide to each employee of the Acquired Corporations who continues to be employed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation (or any Subsidiary thereof) (the “Continuing Employees”) base salary or base hourly rate, “employee pension benefits” and “employee welfare benefits” (within the meaning of Sections 3(2) and 3(1) of ERISA, respectively, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, equity-based compensation and retention benefits) that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the base salary or base hourly rate, employee pension benefits and employee welfare benefits provided as of the date hereof by the Company to such employees. Parent shall pay to each Continuing Employee who is otherwise entitled to an annual cash bonus for the 2013 bonus year an annual cash bonus for the 2013 bonus year at the time such annual cash bonus would otherwise be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms of the applicable Employee Plan, based on a performance level of 145% of target (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is the performance level at which the Company’s 2013 bonus payout was accrued for financial reporting purposes as of the date hereof); provided that any Continuing Employee whose employment with the Company, Parent or their affiliates is terminated without “Cause” (within the meaning of the Company’s Employee Severance Plan as in effect immediately before the date hereof) or for Good Reason shall receive an annual cash bonus, prorated based on the number of full months employed during the 2013 bonus year, no later than the second payroll period after the date of such termination. In addition, (i) notwithstanding the foregoing, Continuing Employees shall be eligible for severance benefits as set forth in Part 6.3 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (ii) Parent shall assume and honor the terms of the Company Employee Agreements set forth on Part 6.3(ii) of the Company Disclosure Schedule.

  (a)      With respect to any accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time to which any Continuing Employee is entitled pursuant to the personal, sick or vacation policies applicable to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to and instruct its Subsidiaries to, as applicable, assume the liability for such accrued personal, sick or vacation time and allow such Continuing Employee to use such accrued personal, sick or vacation time in accordance with the practice and policies of the applicable Acquired Corporation subject to the cap on vacation accrual set forth in Parent’s vacation policy; provided that the accrued but unused personal, sick or vacation time of each such Continuing Employee in excess of 80% of such cap shall be paid as soon as practicable to such Continuing Employee at such employee’s compensation rate in effect as of the Effective Time.

 

58


  (b)      Between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the Acquired Corporations shall use their reasonable best efforts to assist Parent in entering into Parent’s standard “on-boarding” documents with each of the Continuing Employees, which documents will be effective at the Effective Time and shall constitute (i) at-will agreements, (ii) proprietary information and inventions agreements, (iii) mutual agreements to arbitrate claims, and (iv) background check agreements, copies of which have previously been provided to the Company.

  (c)      If requested by Parent at least ten (10) business days prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Acquired Corporations shall terminate any and all Employee Plans intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code, effective not later than the business day immediately preceding the Offer Acceptance Time. In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be terminated, the Acquired Corporations shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors (the form and substance of which shall be subject to review and approval by Parent) not later than two (2) business day(s) immediately preceding the Offer Acceptance Time.

  (d)      Parent agrees that all Continuing Employees shall be eligible to continue to participate in the Surviving Corporation’s health and welfare benefit plans to the extent that they were eligible to participate in such plans prior to the Closing; provided, however, that (i) nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall limit the right of Parent or the Surviving Corporation to amend or terminate any such health or welfare benefit plan at any time, and (ii) if Parent or the Surviving Corporation terminates any such health or welfare benefit plan, then (upon expiration of any appropriate transition period) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Continuing Employees to be eligible to participate in Parent’s health and welfare benefit plans, to substantially the same extent as similarly situated employees of Parent (taking into account job location). To the extent that service is relevant for eligibility, vesting or allowances (including paid time off) under any health or welfare benefit plan of Parent and/or the Surviving Corporation, then Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such health or welfare benefit plan to (to the extent that it would not result in any duplication of benefits), for purposes of eligibility, vesting and allowances (including paid time off) but not for purposes of benefit accrual under any defined benefit pension plan, credit Continuing Employees for service prior to the Effective Time with the Acquired Corporations to the same extent that such service was recognized prior to the Effective Time under the corresponding health or welfare benefit plan of the Company.

  (e)      With respect to all employees, the Acquired Corporations shall be responsible for providing any notices required to be given and otherwise complying with the WARN or similar statutes or regulations of any jurisdiction relating to any plant closing or mass layoff (or similar triggering event) caused by the Acquired Corporations prior to the Effective Time. If, prior to the Effective Time, Parent determines that an event would trigger WARN obligations (or obligations arising under similar statutes or regulations) within sixty (60) days following the Effective Time, the Acquired Corporations shall, at Parent’s request, provide notices to all employees as are required to be provided under WARN (or any similar statute or regulation), in a form that is compliant with applicable regulations.

 

59


  (f)      Nothing in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended nor shall be construed to (i) be treated as an amendment to any particular Employee Plan, (ii) prevent Parent from amending or terminating any of its benefit plans in accordance their terms, (iii) create a right in any employee to employment with Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any other Subsidiary of the Surviving Corporation and the employment of each Continuing Employee shall be “at will” employment or (iv) create any third-party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Acquired Corporations or the Surviving Corporation, any beneficiary or dependent thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and/or benefits that may be provided to any Continuing Employee by Parent or the Company or under any benefit plan which Parent, any Acquired Corporation or the Surviving Corporation may maintain.

6.4        Compensation Arrangements. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Compensation Committee”) will cause each Employee Plan and Company Employment Agreement pursuant to which consideration is payable to any officer, director or employee who is a holder of any security of the Company to be approved by the Compensation Committee (comprised solely of “independent directors”) in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and the instructions thereto as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act and satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) of the Exchange Act.

6.5        Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

    (a)      All rights to indemnification by the Acquired Corporations existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of those Persons who are current or former directors, officers or employees of any Acquired Corporation (when acting in such capacity) (the “Indemnified Persons”) for their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, as provided in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Acquired Corporations (as in effect on the date of this Agreement) and as provided in the Indemnity Agreements (as in effect on the date of this Agreement), shall survive the Merger and shall be honored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to the fullest extent available under Delaware law for a period of six years from the Effective Time, and any claim made requesting indemnification pursuant to such indemnification rights within such six-year period shall continue to be subject to this Section 6.5(a) and the indemnification rights provided under this Section 6.5(a) until disposition of such claim.

    (b)      From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent and the Surviving Corporation (together with its successors and assigns, the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall, to the fullest extent that the Acquired Corporations would have been permitted to under applicable Legal Requirements and their respective certificates of incorporation or by-laws or other organizational documents in effect on the date of this Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Person in his or her capacity as an officer or director of an Acquired Corporation against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, expenses, judgments or fines incurred by such Indemnified Person as an officer or director of an Acquired Corporation, to the extent arising out of or pertaining to any

 

60

Without limiting the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties shall also, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, advance reasonable costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Persons in connection with matters for which such Indemnified Persons are eligible to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 6.5(b) within fifteen (15) days after receipt by Parent of a written request for such advance, subject to the execution by such Indemnified Persons of appropriate undertakings to repay such advanced costs and expenses if it is ultimately determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification.

    (c)      From the Effective Time until the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect, for the benefit of the Indemnified Persons with respect to their acts and omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time, the existing policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company as of the date of this Agreement in the form made available by the Company to Parent or Parent’s Representatives on or prior to the date of this Agreement on terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts no less favorable than such existing policy; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.5(c), the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of 300% of the amount set forth on Part 6.5(c) of the Company Disclosure Schedule (the “Current Premium”) and if such premiums for such insurance would at any time exceed 300% of the Current Premium, then the Surviving Corporation shall cause to be maintained policies of insurance that provide the maximum coverage available at an annual premium equal to 300% of the Current Premium. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to have been satisfied if prepaid “tail” or “runoff” policies have been obtained by the Company prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, which policies shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but shall not otherwise provide terms with respect to coverage, deductibles and amounts more favorable in the aggregate than the existing policy referred to in the previous sentence; provided, however, that the amount paid for such prepaid policies does not exceed 300% of the Current Premium.
