Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Agreement and Plan of Merger and Related Transactions

On April 30, 2017, Jive Software, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Wave Systems Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and Jazz MergerSub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions thereof, Acquisition Sub has agreed to commence a cash tender offer to acquire all of the shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Offer”) for a purchase price of $5.25 per share, net to the holder thereof in cash (the “Offer Price”), without interest.

The consummation of the Offer will be conditioned on (i) a majority of all shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock having been validly tendered into (and not withdrawn from) the Offer prior to the scheduled expiration date of the Offer, (ii) expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in the United States and (iii) other customary conditions. The Offer is not subject to a financing condition.

Following the consummation of the Offer, subject to customary conditions, Acquisition Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”) and the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, pursuant to the procedure provided for under Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law without any additional stockholder approvals. In the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, or any of their respective wholly owned subsidiaries, or shares with respect to which appraisal rights are properly exercised under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the Offer Price, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes.

Each option to purchase the Company’s common stock under the Company’s 2007 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, or the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (such plans, the “Company Stock Plans” and such option, a “Company Option”) that is outstanding, whether or not vested, immediately prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company Option, an amount in cash, without interest and less applicable tax withholdings, equal to the (i) the Offer Price, less the per share exercise price of such Company Option, multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option (the “Company Option Consideration”). If the per share exercise price of any Company Option is equal to or greater than the Offer Price, such Company Option will be cancelled without cash payment.

The Company Option Consideration with respect to Vested Company Options (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be paid to the holders of such Vested Company Options no later than the second payroll date following the Effective Time. Except as described herein and in the Merger Agreement, the Company Option Consideration with respect to Unvested Company Options (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements (including the continued employment or services of the holder) that were applicable to such Unvested Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time and will become payable by Parent or the surviving corporation no later than the second payroll date following the date such Unvested Company Options would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for the Unvested Company Options immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to the restrictions and other terms of the vesting schedule). If any Continuing Employee (as defined in the Merger Agreement) is terminated by Parent, the surviving corporation, or any affiliate of Parent, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time for any reason other than for Cause (as defined in the Merger Agreement), such holder of Unvested Company Options will be entitled to receive, payable on the second payroll date following such termination, the greater of the Company Option Consideration attributable to such Unvested Company Option (i) had such Unvested Company Option vested until the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time and (ii) had the vesting accelerated pursuant to existing acceleration provisions with respect to the Unvested Company Option as set forth in the Unvested Company Option’s award agreement.


As of the Effective Time, each Company Restricted Stock Unit (“Company RSU”) award that is outstanding under the Company Stock Plans as of immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive, in exchange for the cancellation of such Company RSU, an amount in cash, without interest and less applicable tax withholdings, equal to (i) the Offer Price multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of the Company’s common stock subject to such Company RSU award (the “Company RSU Consideration”).

The Company RSU Consideration with respect to Vested Company RSUs (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be paid to holders of such Vested Company RSUs no later than the second Company payroll date following the Effective Time. Except as described herein and in the Merger Agreement, the Company RSU Consideration with respect to Unvested Company RSUs (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements (including the continued employment or services of the holder) that were applicable to such Unvested Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time and will become payable by Parent or the surviving corporation no later than the second payroll date following the date such Unvested Company RSUs would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such Unvested Company RSUs immediately prior to the Effective Time (subject to the restrictions and other terms of the vesting schedule). If any Continuing Employee is terminated by Parent, the surviving corporation, or any affiliate of Parent, prior to the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time for any reason other than for Cause, such holder of Unvested Company RSUs will be entitled to receive, payable on the second payroll date following such termination, the greater of the Company RSU Consideration attributable to such Unvested Company RSU (i) had such Unvested Company RSU vested until the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time and (ii) had the vesting accelerated pursuant to existing acceleration provisions with respect to the Unvested Company RSU as set forth in the Unvested Company RSU’s award agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the parties. In addition, under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed not to solicit or otherwise facilitate any alternative Acquisition Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement), subject to customary exceptions that permit the Company to respond to any unsolicited Acquisition Proposal, provided that the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. The Company is also permitted to change its recommendation in favor of the Merger or to terminate the Merger Agreement in order to accept an unsolicited Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (subject to compliance with the procedures set forth in the Merger Agreement), provided that the Company’s board of directors has determined in good faith (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel) that the failure to do so would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties. Parent has the right to match any alternative Acquisition Proposal so that such proposal fails to be a Superior Proposal, which would allow the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement. If the Company is permitted to terminate the Merger Agreement and does so, under such circumstances, the Company must pay Parent, concurrently with such termination, a $10.0 million termination fee. In addition, this termination fee is payable by the Company to Parent under other specified circumstances and in certain circumstances Parent is entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with the transaction contemplated in the Merger Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ESW Capital, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the parent company of Parent (“Guarantor”), entered into a limited guaranty in favor of the Company guaranteeing certain payment obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub under the Merger Agreement, including the obligation to fund the consideration due to Company stockholders in the Offer and the Merger.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the members of the Board and the named executive officers of the Company, in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Company, entered into a Tender and Support Agreement with Parent and Acquisition Sub (the “Support Agreement”), pursuant to which the signatories have agreed, among other things, to tender their respective shares of the Company’s common stock (including those owned through the exercise or settlement of Company Options or Company RSUs) (the “Subject Securities”) into the Offer and, during the period from the date of such Support Agreement through the earlier of (i) the date upon which the Merger Agreement is validly terminated, (ii) the Effective Time, (iii) the date of entry into an amendment or modification to the Merger Agreement or any waiver of the Company’s rights under the Merger Agreement that reduces the amount, changes the form of, or otherwise reduces the consideration to be received in the Offer or the Merger, and (iv) the mutual written consent of Parent, Acquisition Sub and stockholders holding a majority of the Subject Securities (the “Support Period”), to not vote any of their Subject Securities in favor of any alternative Acquisition Proposals.

 

-2-


Shares held by the signatories to the Support Agreements that are eligible to be tendered into the Offer represent, in the aggregate, approximately 2% of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the date of the Merger Agreement (excluding common stock issuable upon exercise of Company Options or vesting of Company RSUs). Each of the Support Agreements will terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Support Period.

The foregoing descriptions of the Merger Agreement and Support Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Support Agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit 99.2, and in each case is incorporated herein by reference. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company. These representations and warranties were made solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement and:

 

    should not be treated as categorical statements of fact, but rather as a way of allocating the risk to one of the parties if those statements prove to be inaccurate;

 

    may have been modified, qualified or excepted in the Merger Agreement by information in confidential disclosure letter provided by the Company in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement;

 

    may apply contractual standards of “materiality” that are different from “materiality” under applicable securities laws; and

 

    were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Agreement.

Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement may not constitute the actual state of facts about the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub.

 

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

On April 30, 2017, the Board approved the amendment and restatement of the Amended and Restated Bylaws of the Company (the “Bylaw Amendment”), which became effective immediately. The Bylaw Amendment added a new provision to the Company’s Bylaws that designates the state and federal courts located within the state of Delaware as the sole and exclusive forum for certain legal actions, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum. The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendment is only a summary, does not purport to be complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Bylaw Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

On May 1, 2017, the Company issued a press release announcing the execution of the Merger Agreement. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.

Important Additional Information and Where to Find It

In connection with the proposed acquisition of Jive by Parent, Acquisition Sub will commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Jive. Such tender offer has not yet commenced. This communication is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Jive, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Parent, Acquisition Sub and Guarantor will file with the SEC upon commencement of the tender offer. At the time that the tender offer is commenced, Parent, Acquisition Sub and Guarantor will file tender offer materials on Schedule TO with the SEC, and Jive will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the offer. THE TENDER OFFER MATERIALS (INCLUDING AN OFFER TO PURCHASE, A RELATED LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND CERTAIN OTHER TENDER OFFER DOCUMENTS) AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT SHOULD BE READ CAREFULLY AND CONSIDERED BY JIVE’S STOCKHOLDERS

 

-3-


BEFORE ANY DECISION IS MADE WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER. Both the tender offer statement and the solicitation/recommendation statement will be made available to Jive’s stockholders free of charge. A free copy of the tender offer statement and the solicitation/recommendation statement will also be made available to all stockholders of Jive by contacting Jive at lisa.jurinka@jivesoftware.com or jason.khoury@jivesoftware.com, by phone at (415) 580-4738 or (650) 847-8308, or by visiting Jive’s website (www.jivesoftware.com). In addition, the tender offer statement and the solicitation/recommendation statement (and all other documents filed with the SEC) will be available at no charge on the SEC’s website (www.sec.gov) upon filing with the SEC. JIVE’S STOCKHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE TENDER OFFER STATEMENT AND THE SOLICITATION/RECOMMENDATION STATEMENT, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED WITH THE SEC WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BEFORE THEY MAKE ANY DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE TENDER OFFER BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND THE PARTIES TO THE TRANSACTION.

Forward Looking Statements

This document contains certain statements that constitute forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the satisfaction of conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction and the expected completion of the proposed transaction, as well as other statements that are not historical fact. These forward-looking statements are based on currently available information, as well as Jive’s views and assumptions regarding future events as of the time such statements are being made. Such forward looking statements are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the potential failure to satisfy conditions to the completion of the proposed transaction due to the failure to receive a sufficient number of tendered shares in the tender offer, as well as those described in cautionary statements contained elsewhere herein and in Jive’s periodic reports filed with the SEC including the statements set forth under “Risk Factors” set forth in Jive’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K, the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (including the offer to purchase, the letter of transmittal and other documents relating to the tender offer) to be filed by Parent and Acquisition Sub, and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 to be filed by Jive. As a result of these and other risks, the proposed transaction may not be completed on the timeframe expected or at all. These forward-looking statements reflect Jive’s expectations as of the date of this report. While Jive may elect to update any such forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Jive specifically disclaims any obligation to do so, even if our expectations change, except as required by law.

WHEREAS, it is also proposed that, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, Acquisition Sub will merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and each share of Company Common Stock that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than Cancelled Company Shares and Dissenting Company Shares) will thereupon be cancelled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, and the Company will survive the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL and will be effected as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the Company Board has (i) determined that the terms of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and its stockholders, (ii) determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and declared it advisable, to enter into this Agreement, (iii) approved the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and agreements contained herein and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, and (iv) resolved to recommend that the holders of shares of Company Common Stock accept the Offer and tender their shares of Company Common Stock to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer (the “Company Board Recommendation”);

WHEREAS, the respective boards of directors of each of Parent and Acquisition Sub have (i) declared it advisable to enter into this Agreement, and (ii) approved the execution and delivery by Parent and Acquisition Sub, respectively, of this Agreement, the performance by Parent and Acquisition Sub, respectively, of their respective covenants and agreements contained herein and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Parent and Acquisition Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company, in their respective capacities as stockholders of the Company, are entering into Tender and Support Agreements with Parent (each, a “Support Agreement” and collectively, the “Support Agreements”) pursuant to which the signatories thereto are agreeing to tender their Company Common Stock into the Offer and to take (and refrain from taking) certain other actions in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to the Company’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, ESW Capital, LLC, the sole shareholder of Parent (the “Guarantor”), has entered into a guaranty dated as of the date hereof (the “Guaranty”), in favor of the Company to guarantee the payment obligations then due of Parent and Acquisition Sub arising under, or in connection with, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

WHEREAS, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company desires to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby to prescribe certain conditions with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, and intending to be legally bound hereby, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company hereby agrees as follows:

Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Offer, but subject to compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in addition to (and not in limitation of) the obligations of Acquisition Sub to extend the Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Acquisition Sub shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (including Rule 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act (relating to the obligation of Acquisition Sub to pay for or return tendered shares of Company Common Stock promptly after termination or withdrawal of the Offer)), pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer in the event that, at or prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer (collectively, the “Tender Offer Conditions”):

(i)    there shall not have been validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of shares of Company Common Stock that, and the shares of Company Common Stock that the Company would be required to issue upon conversion, settlement or exercise of all then outstanding options, benefit plans, obligations or securities convertible

 

-2-

(ii)    any waiting period (and extensions thereof) applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under the HSR Act shall not have expired or been terminated; or

(iii)    any of the following shall have occurred and continue to exist as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer:

(B)    (1) any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 (Organization; Good Standing), 3.2 (Corporate Power; Enforceability), 3.3 (Requisite Stockholder Approval), and 3.25 (Brokers) (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) shall not have been true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement or shall not be true and correct in all material respects as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (other than any such representation or warranty that is made only as of a specified date, which need only to be true and correct in all material respects as of such specified date); (2) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.6 (Company Capitalization) (the “Capitalization Representation”) shall not have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or shall not be true and correct as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (other than any such representation or warranty that is made only as of a specified date, which need only to be true and correct as of such specified date), except where the failure to be true and correct would not reasonably be expected to result in additional cost, expense or liability to the Company, Parent and their Affiliates, individually or in the aggregate, of more than one million five hundred thousand dollars ($1,500,000); or (3) any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement (other than the Fundamental Representations or the Capitalization Representation), disregarding any “materiality,” “Company Material Adverse Effect” or other similar qualifications set forth in all such representations or warranties, shall not have been true and correct as of the date of this Agreement or shall not be true and correct as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such time (other than any such representation or warranty that is made only as of a specified date, which need only to be true and correct as of such specified date), except in the case of this clause (3), to the extent that the facts and circumstances causing or resulting in any such representations and warranties not to be true and correct as of the date hereof, as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer or as of the specified date in the representation or warranty have not had and would not reasonably be expected have, individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect;

 

-3-


(C)    the Company shall have failed to perform in all material respects the obligations that are to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer;

(D)    a Company Material Adverse Effect shall have arisen or occurred following the execution and delivery of this Agreement that is continuing as of immediately prior to the scheduled expiration of the Offer;

(E)    this Agreement shall have been properly and validly terminated in accordance with its terms;

(F)    the Company shall not have furnished Parent with a certificate dated as of the date of determination signed on its behalf by any of the Company’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer or such other officer serving in such capacity to the effect that the conditions set forth in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 1.1(b)(iii) shall not have occurred; or

(G)    there shall have been instituted by any Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction any Legal Proceeding which is pending:

(2)    seeking, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to require the Company, Parent or Acquisition Sub to take a Burdensome Action;

(3)    seeking to impose or confirm any material limitation on the ability of Parent or Acquisition Sub to acquire, hold or exercise effectively full rights of ownership of Company Common Stock, including the right to vote any Company Common Stock acquired by Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer or otherwise on all matters properly presented to the Company Stockholders; or

(4)    seeking to require divestiture by Parent or Acquisition Sub or any shares of Company Common Stock.

(c)    Acquisition Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company in its sole discretion, Acquisition Sub may not (and Parent shall not permit Acquisition Sub to) (i) waive the Minimum Condition, the condition set forth in Section 1.1(b)(ii) or the condition set forth Section 1.1(b)(iii)(A), and (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration to be paid in the Offer, (B) decreases the Offer Price or the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought in the Offer, (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required by the provisions of Section 1.1(e), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Section 1.1(b), (E) modifies the conditions set forth in this Agreement, or (F) amends any other term or condition of the Offer in any manner that is adverse to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock.

 

-4-


(d)    Adjustments to the Offer Price. The Offer Price shall be adjusted appropriately 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), reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the date hereof and prior to Acquisition Sub’s acceptance for payment of, and payment for, shares of Company Common Stock that are tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(e)    Expiration and Extension of the Offer.

(i)    Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight, Eastern Time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Section 14d-1(g)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (the “Expiration Date”). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(ii)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(e)(i) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement:

(A)    Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for any period required by any Law or Order, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ, in any such case which is applicable to the Offer;

(B)    in the event that all of the conditions to the Offer, including the Minimum Condition or any of the other conditions set forth in Section 1.1(b), are not satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder) as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for successive extension periods of ten (10) Business Days each (or any longer period as may be approved in advance by the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction of all of the conditions to the Offer (each such extension, an “Additional Offer Period”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) if, at the initial Expiration Date or the end of any Additional Offer Period, all of the Tender Offer Conditions, except for the Minimum Condition, are satisfied or have been waived, Acquisition Sub shall be required to extend the Offer and its expiration date beyond the initial Expiration Date or such subsequent date for not more than three (3) periods of ten (10) Business Days each (or any longer period as may be approved in advance by the Company), in each case, to permit the Minimum Condition to be satisfied; and (2) in no event shall Acquisition Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond Termination Date;

provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) of this Section 1.1(e)(ii) shall not be deemed to impair, limit or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article VII.

(iii)    Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer or provide a “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(e)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.

(iv)    Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article VII, in which case Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) Business Day) after such termination of this Agreement.

 

-5-


(f)    Payment for Shares of Company Common Stock. On the terms and subject to conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) accept for payment, and pay for, all shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the scheduled expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(e)(ii)) (such time, the “Acceptance Time”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Acquisition Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Acquisition Sub shall not accept for payment or pay for any shares of Company Common Stock if, as a result, Acquisition Sub would acquire less than the number of shares of Company Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The Offer Price payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash, subject to reduction for any applicable withholding taxes imposed in respect thereof.

(g)    Schedule TO; Offer Documents. As soon as practicable on the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), Parent and Acquisition Sub shall:

(i)    prepare and 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 all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which Schedule TO shall contain as an exhibit the Offer to Purchase and forms of the letter of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any, and other customary ancillary documents, in each case, in respect of the Offer (together with all supplements and amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”);

(ii)    deliver a copy of the Schedule TO, including all exhibits thereto, to the Company at its principal executive offices in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;

(iii)    give telephonic notice of the information required by Rule 14d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and mail by means of first class mail a copy of the Schedule TO, to NASDAQ in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

(iv)    cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to all holders of shares of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the Offer Documents may include a description of the determinations, approvals and recommendations of the Company Board set forth in Section 1.2(a) that relate to the Offer. The Company shall furnish in writing to Parent and Acquisition Sub all information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries that is required by applicable Law to be included in the Offer Documents so as to enable Parent and Acquisition Sub to comply with their obligations under this Section 1.1(g). Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine the information regarding the Company that is necessary to include in the Offer Documents in order to satisfy applicable Laws. Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it or any of its respective directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents or other representatives for use in the Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have

 

-6-


become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the Company Stockholders, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws, or by the SEC or its staff or NASDAQ. Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel (it being understood that the Company and its counsel shall provide any comments thereon as soon as reasonably practicable). Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide in writing to the Company and its counsel any and all comments or other communications, whether written or oral, that Parent, Acquisition Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after such receipt, and Parent and Acquisition Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff (including a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such response, to which Parent and Acquisition Sub shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any comments made by the Company and its counsel) and to participate in any discussions with the SEC or its staff regarding any such comments.

1.2    Company Actions.

Unless the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof has effected a Company Board Recommendation Change, the Company shall include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9.

(c)    Company Information. In connection with the Offer, the Company shall, or shall cause its transfer agent to, furnish Parent and Acquisition Sub with such assistance and such information as Parent or its agents may reasonably request in order to disseminate and otherwise communicate the Offer to the record and beneficial holders of shares of Company Common Stock, including a list, as of the most recent practicable date, of the stockholders of the Company, mailing labels and any available listing or computer files containing the names and addresses of all record and beneficial holders of shares of Company Common Stock, and lists of security positions of shares of Company Common Stock held in stock depositories (including updated lists of stockholders, mailing labels, listings or files of securities positions). Subject to applicable Laws, and except for such steps as are necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents and any other documents necessary to consummate the Merger, Parent and Acquisition Sub (and their respective agents) shall:

-10-


(ii)    Excluded Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, or by any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, Acquisition Sub or the Company, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Cancelled Company Shares”), shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or consideration paid therefor.

(iii)    Capital Stock of Acquisition Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Acquisition Sub that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(b)    Adjustment to the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately 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 but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the granting or other issuance of Company Options or Company RSUs in the ordinary course of business), reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Company Common Stock occurring on or after the consummation of the Offer and prior to the Effective Time.

(c)    Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all shares of Company Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who shall neither have voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly and validly perfected their statutory rights of appraisal in respect of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, “Dissenting Company Shares”) shall not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7(a), but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the DGCL to a holder of Dissenting Company Shares. At the Effective Time, the Dissenting Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and each Company Stockholder who holds Dissenting Company Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive payment of the appraised value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that all Dissenting Company Shares held by Company Stockholders who shall have failed to perfect or who shall have effectively withdrawn or lost their rights to appraisal of such Dissenting Company Shares under such Section 262 of the DGCL shall no longer be considered to be Dissenting Company Shares and shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate or certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Common Stock in the manner provided in Section 2.8.

(ii)    The Company shall give Parent (A) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to Delaware Law and received by the Company in respect of Dissenting Company Shares and (B) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

(d)    Company Options. Effective as of the Effective Time, each Company Option (or portion thereof) that is outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and shall become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the amount of the Merger Consideration (less the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option) multiplied by (ii) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon exercise in full of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to Company Options for which the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Options is equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration, those Company Options shall be cancelled on the Effective Time without any cash payment being made in respect thereof. The payments of the Option Consideration will be subject to all required withholdings and the amount of cash each holder of Company Options is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7(d) for the Company Options held by such holder shall be rounded to the nearest cent on a Company Option grant by Company Option grant basis and, (x) with respect to the Vested Company Options, shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.7(g)(ii) and (y) with respect to the Unvested Company Options, shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.7(g)(iii).

Effective as of the Effective Time, each award of Company RSUs outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, whether vested or unvested, shall, without any action on the part of Parent, Acquisition Sub, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled and converted into and will become a right to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to (i) the amount of the Merger Consideration multiplied by (ii) the total number of outstanding Company RSUs subject to such award (the “Company RSU Consideration”). The payments of the Company RSU Consideration will be subject to all required withholdings and the amount of cash each holder of Company RSUs is entitled to receive pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7(e) for the Company RSUs held by such holder shall be rounded to the nearest cent on a Company RSU award by Company RSU award basis and, (x) with respect to the Vested Company RSUs, shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.7(g)(ii) and (y) with respect to the Unvested Company Options, shall be payable in accordance with Section 2.7(g)(iii).

(f)    Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Effective as of no later than immediately preceding the Effective Time, the Company shall have terminated the Company ESPP. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board (or, if appropriate, any committee administering the Company’s ESPP) shall adopt such resolutions with respect to the Company ESPP to provide that (i) all outstanding purchase rights under the Company ESPP shall automatically be exercised, in accordance with the terms of the Company ESPP, prior to the Effective Time (the “Final Purchase”), (ii) the Company ESPP shall terminate with such purchase and no further purchase rights are granted under the Company ESPP thereafter, (iii) each individual participating in the Company ESPP shall not be permitted (x) to increase the amount of his or her rate of payroll contributions thereunder from the rate in effect on the date of this Agreement, or (y) to make separate non-payroll contributions to the Company ESPP on or following the date of this Agreement, and (iv) no individual who is not participating in the Company ESPP as of the date of this Agreement may commence participation in the Company ESPP following the date of this Agreement.

(ii)    Payment for Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall, to the extent such payments cannot be satisfied with cash resources held by the Company and its Subsidiaries at the Effective Time, deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the aggregate of (A) the portion of the Option Consideration owed to all holders of Vested Company Options and (B) the portion of the Company RSU Consideration owed to all holders of Vested Company RSUs. No later than the second Company payroll date following the Effective Time (such date, the “Payroll Date”), the applicable holders of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs shall receive a payment from the Company or the Surviving Corporation, through its payroll system or payroll provider (with respect to Employee Options and RSUs) or through its accounts payable system (with respect to Non-Employee Options and RSUs), of all amounts required to be paid to such holders in respect of such Vested Company Options or Vested Company RSUs that are cancelled and converted pursuant to Sections 2.7(d) or 2.7(e), as applicable. The Surviving Corporation shall issue a check for amounts payable in respect of Non-Employee Options and RSUs to such holder, which check shall be sent by overnight courier to such holder promptly following the Payroll Date (but in no event more than three Business Days thereafter).

(iii)    Payment for Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs. The Option Consideration owed to holders Unvested Company Options and the payout of cash pursuant to Section 2.7(d) for Unvested Company Options, and the Company RSU Consideration owed to holders of Unvested Company RSUs and the payout of cash pursuant to Section 2.7(e), in each case only to the extent that such Unvested Company Option or Unvested Company RSU is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements (including the continued employment or services of the holder) that were applicable to such Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs, as applicable, immediately prior to or at the Effective Time. The Option Consideration or Company RSU Consideration otherwise owed pursuant to Section 2.7(d) and Section 2.7(e) for Unvested Company Options and Unvested Company RSUs, respectively, in each case only to the extent outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (collectively, the “Unvested Cash”), shall not automatically be payable by Parent or the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time, and shall instead become payable by Parent or the Surviving Corporation no later than the second payroll date (each such date, a “Unvested Payroll Date”) following the date that such Unvested Company Options or Unvested Company RSUs, as applicable, would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such Company Options or Company RSUs immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule, including continued employment of the holder of such Unvested Company Options or Unvested Company RSUs). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Continuing Employee is terminated by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Parent, prior to the one year anniversary of the Effective Time and for any reason other than Cause, such holder of Unvested Company Options or Unvested Company RSUs shall be entitled to receive, payable on the second payroll date following such termination, the greater of the Unvested Cash attributable to such Unvested Company Option or Unvested Company RSU (A) had such Unvested Company Option or Unvested Company RSU vested until the one (1) year anniversary of the Effective Time and (B) had the vesting accelerated pursuant to existing acceleration provisions with respect to such Unvested Company Option or Unvested Company RSU disclosed on Section 3.6(b)(ii) of the Company Disclosure Letter. All payments of the Unvested Cash will be subject to all required withholdings and shall be paid without interest and shall be paid by Parent or the Surviving Corporation in accordance with substantially the same procedures as the payment of Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs set forth in Section 2.7(g)(ii). No Unvested Cash, or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or

 

-13-


reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash in accordance with this Agreement. Parent, the Company and the Surviving Corporation intend that the payments of the Unvested Cash shall be deemed an assumption of the Unvested Company Options and the Unvested Company RSUs for purposes of Subsection 14(c) of the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended.

2.8    Exchange of Certificates.

(a)    Payment Agent. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall, at its sole cost and expense, select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the payment agent for the Merger (the “Payment Agent”).

(b)    Exchange Fund. At the Closing, Parent shall deposit (or cause to be deposited) with the Payment Agent, for payment to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of this Article II, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock become entitled under this Article II. Until disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such funds shall be invested by the Payment Agent, as directed by Parent or the Surviving Corporation, in obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America or obligations of an agency of the United States of America which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America (such cash amount being referred to herein as the “Exchange Fund”). Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent. To the extent that there are any losses with respect to any investments of the Exchange Fund, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for any reason below the level required for the Payment Agent to promptly pay the cash amounts contemplated by this Article II, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, promptly replace or restore the cash in the Exchange Fund so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is at all times maintained at a level sufficient for the Payment Agent to make such payments contemplated by this Article II.

(c)    Payment Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall cause the Payment Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of immediately prior to the Effective Time) of (i) a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock and (ii) book-entry security entitlements to or other uncertificated shares of Company Common Stock (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7 (A) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Payment Agent), and/or (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Upon receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Payment Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Payment Agent may reasonably request) in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares, the holders of such Uncertificated Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to

 

-14-


receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding taxes payable in respect thereof), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. The Payment Agent shall accept such Certificates and transferred Uncertificated Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Payment Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Certificates and Uncertificated Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of such Certificates and Uncertificated Shares pursuant to this Section 2.8. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates and Uncertificated Shares shall be deemed from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

(d)    Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of shares of Company Common Stock is not registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, or if the Merger Consideration is to be paid in a name other than that in which the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares surrendered in exchange therefor are registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company, the Merger Consideration may be paid to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered is registered in the stock transfer books or ledger of the Company only if such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares is properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for surrender and transfer and the Person requesting such payment has paid to Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) any transfer taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Uncertificated Shares, or established to the satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such transfer taxes have been paid or are otherwise not payable.

(e)    Required Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any cash amounts payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Laws. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority or other Person in accordance with applicable Law, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(f)    No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, none of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any other party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(g)    Distribution of Exchange Fund to Parent. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Uncertificated Shares on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and any holders of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger who have not theretofore surrendered their Certificates or Uncertificated Shares representing such shares of Company Common Stock for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent and the Surviving Corporation, as general creditors thereof, for any claim to the applicable Merger Consideration to which such holders may be entitled pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.

2.9    No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be

 

-15-


cancelled, retired and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any shares of Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable therefor upon the surrender thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.8. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article II shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of the Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.10    Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Payment Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.7; provided that Parent or the Payment Agent may, in its discretion and as condition to the payment of such Merger Consideration, require the owners of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such customary amount as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Payment Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

2.11    Necessary Further Actions. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and Acquisition Sub, the directors and officers of the Company and Acquisition Sub shall take all such lawful and necessary action.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY

Except (i) as disclosed in the letter delivered by the Company to Parent on the date of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”), or (ii) as disclosed in any Company SEC Reports filed with or furnished to the SEC by the Company on or after February 28, 2017 and prior to the date hereof (other than disclosures contained or referenced therein under the captions “Risk Factors” and any other disclosures contained or referenced therein of information, factors or risks that are predictive, cautionary or forward-looking in nature), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition Sub as follows:

The Company is not in violation of its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

3.4    Non-Contravention. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (a) violate or conflict with any provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, (b) subject to obtaining such Consents set forth in Section 3.4 of the Company Disclosure Letter, violate, conflict with, or result in the breach of or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration under, any Material Contract, (c) assuming the Consents referred to in Section 3.5 are obtained or made and, in the case of the consummation of the Merger, subject to obtaining the Requisite Stockholder Approval, violate or conflict with any Law or Order applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any of their properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in the creation of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the case of each of clauses (b), (c) and (d) above, for such violations, conflicts, defaults, terminations, accelerations or Liens which would not reasonably be expected to (i) be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole or (ii) prevent or materially delay beyond the Termination Date the consummation of the Offer or the Merger.

3.5    Required Governmental Approvals. No consent, approval, Order or authorization of, filing or registration with, or notification to (any of the foregoing being referred to herein as a “Consent”), any Governmental Authority is required on the part of the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with the execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement, the performance by the Company of its covenants and obligations hereunder and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby, except (a) the filing and recordation of the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and such filings with Governmental Authorities to satisfy the applicable Laws of states in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are qualified to do business, (b) such filings and approvals as may be required by any federal or state securities Laws, including compliance with any applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, (c) Consents required under, and compliance with any other applicable requirements of the HSR Act and any applicable foreign Antitrust Laws, and (d) such other Consents, the failure of which to obtain would

Neither the Company, on the one hand, nor Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall issue any public release or make any public announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of any applicable securities exchange or regulatory or Governmental Authority to which the relevant party is

 

-44-


subject or submits, wherever situated, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow the other party or parties hereto reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance (it being understood that the final form and content of any such release or announcement, as well as the timing of any such release or announcement, shall be at the final discretion of the disclosing party); provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.4 shall not apply to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company pursuant to Section 6.3(a) or with respect to an Acquisition Proposal or a Company Board Recommendation Change.

6.5    Anti-Takeover Laws. In the event that any state anti-takeover or other similar Law is or becomes applicable to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and otherwise to minimize the effect of such Law on this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

6.6    Access. At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VII and the Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent and its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to the properties, books and records and personnel of the Company; provided, however, that the Company may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (i) any applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information or (ii) access to such documents or information would give rise to a material risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information; and provided further, however, that no information or knowledge obtained by Parent in any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.6 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or otherwise impair the rights and remedies available to Parent and Acquisition Sub hereunder. In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or to waive such a privilege. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.6 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or create a risk of damage or destruction to any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Any access to the properties of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any applicable Lease and the Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform Phase 1 or Phase 2 environmental assessments or other invasive testing. The terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information obtained by Parent or any of its financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives in connection with any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.6.

6.8    Directors and Officers Indemnification and Insurance.

(a)    The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under any and all (i) indemnification agreements that are in effect as of the date hereof between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers (the “Indemnified Persons”) and (ii) indemnification, expense advancement and exculpation provisions in any certificate of incorporate or bylaws or comparable organizational document of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in effect on the date of this Agreement. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable as the indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses provisions contained in the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (or other similar organizational documents) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the date hereof, and during such six-year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law.

(b)    During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain in effect the Company’s current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (“D&O Insurance”) in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the D&O Insurance, on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are equivalent to those of the D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 6.8(b), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the amount paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”) (which premiums the Company represents and warrants to be as set forth in Section 6.8(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter); provided, however, that, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for a cost not exceeding the Maximum Annual Premium. Prior to the Effective Time, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company may purchase a six-year “tail” prepaid policy on the D&O Insurance. In the event that the Company elects to purchase such a “tail” policy prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) maintain such “tail” policy in full force and effect and continue to honor their respective obligations thereunder, in lieu of all other obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under the first sentence of this Section 6.8(b) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(c)    If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation set forth in this Section 6.8.

 

-46-


(d)    The obligations set forth in this Section 6.8 shall not be terminated, amended or otherwise modified in any manner that adversely affects any Indemnified Person (or any other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.8(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) without the prior written consent of such affected Indemnified Person or other person who is a beneficiary under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.8(b) (and their heirs and representatives). Each of the Indemnified Persons or other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.8(b) (and their heirs and representatives) are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.8, with full rights of enforcement as if a party thereto. The rights of the Indemnified Persons (and other persons who are beneficiaries under the D&O Insurance or the “tail” policy referred to in Section 6.8(b) (and their heirs and representatives)) under this Section 6.8 shall be in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights that such persons may have under the certificates of incorporation, bylaws or other equivalent organizational documents, any and all indemnification agreements of or entered into by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or applicable Law (whether at law or in equity).

(e)    The obligations and liability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their respective Subsidiaries under this Section 6.8 shall be joint and several.

(f)    Nothing in this Agreement is intended to, shall be construed to or shall release, waive or impair any rights to directors’ and officers’ insurance claims under any policy that is or has been in existence with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for any of their respective directors, officers or other employees, it being understood and agreed that the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.8 is not prior to or in substitution for any such claims under such policies.

6.9    Employee Matters.

(a)    Unless Parent provides written notice to the Company that such 401(k) plan(s) shall not be terminated no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans maintained by the Company or any ERISA Affiliates, as well as such other benefit plans as Parent may designate in writing no later than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Acceptance Time, in each case effective as of the day immediately preceding the date the Company becomes a member of the same Controlled Group of Corporations (as defined in Section 414(b) of the Code) as Parent (the “401(k) Termination Date”). The Company shall provide Parent evidence that such plans have been terminated pursuant to resolutions of the Company Board or the board of directors of its Subsidiaries, as applicable. If the 401(k) plan(s) described in this section have been terminated as of the 401(k) Termination Date, Parent shall permit Continuing Employees to roll over their account balances (including loan notes) to a 401(k) plan of Parent or an Affiliate.

(b)     During the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending one (1) year following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to provide each Continuing Employee with (a) a base salary (or hourly wage rate, as the case may be) no less favorable than the base salary (or hourly wage rate) in effect with respect to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time (which base salary (or hourly wage rate) may be increased in the sole discretion of Parent in order to reflect any reduction in automobile-related benefits or cell phone reimbursements as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time); and (b) employee benefits (other than defined benefit pension benefits, severance benefits and equity-based benefits) of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates on a basis no less favorable in the aggregate than those provided to similarly situated employees of Parent (or any applicable Subsidiary or Affiliate). Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation or one of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to provide each Continuing Employee with fiscal 2017 bonus and/or commission opportunities that, in all cases, are no less than favorable than the fiscal 2017 bonus and/or commission opportunities in effect with respect to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

-47-


(c)    To the extent that a benefit plan is made available to any Continuing Employee at or after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) make commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be granted to such Continuing Employee credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and any predecessor employer prior to the Effective Time for purposes of eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant (including for purposes of vacation, sick time or paid time off accrual and severance pay entitlement); provided, however, that such service shall not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) make commercially reasonable efforts to cause the following to occur: (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting period, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates (other than the Company Plans) (such plans, collectively, the “New Plans”) to the extent that coverage pursuant to any such New Plan replaces coverage pursuant to a comparable Company Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time and/or immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”); (ii) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision or disability benefits to any Continuing Employee, all waiting periods, pre-existing condition exclusions, evidence of insurability requirements and actively-at-work or similar requirements of such New Plan will be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date that such Continuing Employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be given full credit pursuant to such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan; and (iii) credit the accounts of such Continuing Employees pursuant to any New Plan that is a flexible spending plan with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee. Any vacation or paid time off accrued but unused by a Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be credited to such Continuing Employee following the Effective Time. For purposes hereof, “Company Plans” shall mean the Employee Plans and any other employee benefit plans or other compensation or severance arrangements, excluding equity-based compensation and individual employment agreements of the Company or the Surviving Corporation.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to (i) guarantee employment for any period of time for, or preclude the ability of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or their Subsidiaries to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, or (ii) subject to the limitations and requirements specifically set forth in this Section 6.9, require Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to continue any Company Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time. No provision of this Agreement shall create any third party beneficiary rights in any employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any beneficiary or dependents thereof, or any collective bargaining representative thereof, with respect to the compensation, terms and conditions of employment and benefits that may be provided to any employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates or under any benefit plan which any of them may maintain, or otherwise. No provision of this Agreement shall operate as an amendment to any benefit plan maintained by the Company or Parent or their respective Subsidiaries.

The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and shall consider Parent’s views with respect to such stockholder litigation.

-50-


(d)    by Parent, in the event that (i) Parent and Acquisition Sub are not then in material breach of this Agreement and (ii) the Company shall have breached or otherwise violated any of its material covenants, agreements or other obligations under this Agreement, or any of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall have become inaccurate, in either case such that the conditions to the Offer set forth in Sections 1.1(b)(iii)(B) and 1.1(b)(iii)(C) are not capable of being satisfied by the Termination Date;

(f)    by Parent, in the event that (i) the Company Board or any authorized committee thereof shall have effected a Company Board Recommendation Change; provided, however, that Parent’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(f) in respect of a Company Board Recommendation Change shall expire ten (10) Business Days after the first date upon which the Company makes such Company Board Recommendation Change, or (ii) a tender or exchange offer for Company Common Stock that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not a Superior Proposal) is commenced by a Person unaffiliated with Parent and, (A) within ten (10) Business Days after the public announcement of the commencement of such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall not have filed a Schedule 14D-9 pursuant to Rule 14e-2 and Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act recommending that the Company Stockholders reject such Acquisition Proposal and not tender any shares

7.3    Fees and Expenses.

(a)    General. Except as set forth in this Section 7.3, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the party or parties, as applicable, incurring such expenses whether or not the Offer and/or the Merger is consummated.

(i)    The Company shall pay to Parent ten million dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Termination Fee”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after demand by Parent, in the event that: (A) this Agreement is terminated by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(b) solely as a result of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Condition prior to such termination; (B) following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) solely as a result of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Condition prior to such termination, a Competing Acquisition Transaction shall have been publicly announced or shall have become publicly disclosed and, in either case, shall not have been withdrawn or otherwise abandoned; and (C) within twelve (12) months following the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) solely as a result of the failure to satisfy the Minimum Condition prior to such termination, the Competing Acquisition Transaction referenced in the preceding clause (B) is consummated or a binding definitive agreement for such Competing Acquisition Transaction shall be entered into by the Company and the counterparty within such twelve-month period and such transaction shall subsequently be consummated. For purposes of the foregoing, a “Competing Acquisition Transaction” shall have the same meaning as an “Acquisition Transaction” except that all references therein to “more than twenty percent (20%)” shall be deemed to be references to “a majority.”

(ii)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 7.1(e), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, as a condition to the effectiveness of such termination.

 

-52-


(iii)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Parent pursuant to Section 7.1(f), the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by Parent, within two (2) Business Days after demand by Parent.

(c)    Single Payment Only. The parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in no event shall the Company be required to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion, whether or not such termination fee may be payable under more than one provision of this Agreement at the same or at different times and the occurrence of different events.

(d)    Liquidated Damages. Each of the Company, Parent and Acquisition Sub acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) the Termination Fee is not a penalty, but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision, (iii) subject to clause (b) of Section 7.2, in the event that Parent shall receive the Termination Fee, none of Parent, Acquisition Sub, any of their respective Affiliates or any other Person shall be entitled to bring or maintain any other claim, action or proceeding against the Company or any of its Affiliates arising out of this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated hereby or any matters forming the basis of the termination of this Agreement triggering the payment of such Termination Fee, and (iv) without these agreements, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant to this Section 7.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the non-paying party for the payment of any amount set forth in this Section 7.3, the non-paying shall pay the other party its costs and expenses in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at the annual rate of five percent (5%) plus the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date such payment was actually received, or such lesser rate as is the maximum permitted by applicable Law.

7.4    Amendment. Subject to applicable Law and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company; provided, however, that in the event that this Agreement has been adopted by the Company Stockholders in accordance with Delaware Law, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that requires the approval of such Company Stockholders under Delaware Law without such approval.

The Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by such party (or parties), and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such party (or parties) under this Agreement.

ARTICLE II — MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

2.1 PLACE OF MEETINGS

Meetings of stockholders shall be held at any place, within or outside the State of Delaware, designated by the board of directors. The board of directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that a meeting of stockholders shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication as authorized by Section 211(a)(2) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”). In the absence of any such designation or determination, stockholders’ meetings shall be held at the corporation’s principal executive office.

2.2 ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of stockholders shall be held on such date, at such time, and at such place (if any) within or without the State of Delaware as shall be designated from time to time by the board of directors and stated in the corporation’s notice of the meeting. At the annual meeting, directors shall be elected and any other proper business may be transacted.

(i) A special meeting of the stockholders, other than those required by statute, may be called at any time only by (A) the board of directors, (B) the chairperson of the board of directors, (C) the chief executive officer or (D) the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer). A special meeting of the stockholders may not be called by any other person or persons. The board of directors may cancel, postpone or reschedule any previously scheduled special meeting at any time, before or after the notice for such meeting has been sent to the stockholders.

(ii) The notice of a special meeting shall include the purpose for which the meeting is called. Only such business shall be conducted at a special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the board of directors, the chairperson of the board of directors, the chief executive officer or the president (in the absence of a chief executive officer). Nothing contained in this Section 2.3(ii) shall be construed as limiting, fixing or affecting the time when a meeting of stockholders called by action of the board of directors may be held.

2.4 ADVANCE NOTICE PROCEDURES

(i) Advance Notice of Stockholder Business. At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before an annual meeting, business must be brought: (A) pursuant to the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to such meeting, (B) by or at the direction of the board of directors, or (C) by a stockholder of the corporation who (1) is a stockholder of record at the time of the giving of the notice required by this Section 2.4(i) and on the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting and (2) has timely complied in proper written form with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 2.4(i). In addition, for business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder, such business must be a proper matter for stockholder action pursuant to these bylaws and applicable law. Except for proposals properly made in accordance with Rule 14a-8 under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, and the rules and regulations thereunder (as so amended and inclusive of such rules and regulations), and included in the notice of meeting given by or at the direction of the board of directors, for the avoidance of doubt, clause (C) above shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders.

(a) To comply with clause (C) of Section 2.4(i) above, a stockholder’s notice must set forth all information required under this Section 2.4(i) and must be timely received by the secretary of the corporation. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be

In no event shall any adjournment or postponement of an annual meeting or the announcement thereof commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described in this Section 2.4(i)(a). “Public Announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or a comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or any successor thereto (the “1934 Act”).

(b) To be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must set forth as to each matter of business the stockholder intends to bring before the annual meeting: (1) a brief description of the business intended to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (2) the name and address, as they appear on the corporation’s books, of the stockholder proposing such business and any Stockholder Associated Person (as defined below), (3) the class and number of shares of the corporation that are held of record or are beneficially owned by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person and any derivative positions held or beneficially held by the stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, (4) whether and the extent to which any hedging or other transaction or series of transactions has been entered into by or on behalf of such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any securities of the corporation, and a description of any other agreement, arrangement or understanding (including any short position or any borrowing or lending of shares), the effect or intent of which is to mitigate loss to, or to manage the risk or benefit from share price changes for, or to increase or decrease the voting power of, such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person with respect to any securities of the corporation, (5) any material interest of the stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person in such business, and (6) a statement whether either such stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person will deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal (such information provided and statements made as required by clauses (1) through (6), a “Business Solicitation Statement”). In addition, to be in proper written form, a stockholder’s notice to the secretary must be supplemented not later than ten days following the record date for notice of the meeting to disclose the information contained in clauses (3) and (4) above as of the record date for notice of the meeting. For purposes of this Section 2.4, a “Stockholder Associated Person” of any stockholder shall mean (i) any person controlling, directly or indirectly, or acting in concert with, such stockholder, (ii) any beneficial owner of shares of stock of the corporation owned of record or beneficially by such stockholder and on whose behalf the proposal or nomination, as the case may be, is being made, or (iii) any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with such person referred to in the preceding clauses (i) and (ii).

(c) Without exception, no business shall be conducted at any annual meeting except in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(i) and, if applicable, Section 2.4(ii). In addition, business proposed to be brought by a stockholder may not be brought before the annual meeting if such stockholder or a Stockholder Associated Person, as applicable, takes action contrary to the representations made in the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business or if the Business Solicitation Statement applicable to such business contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. The chairperson of the annual meeting shall, if the facts warrant, determine and declare at the annual meeting that business was not properly brought before the annual meeting and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(i), and, if the chairperson should so determine, he or she shall so declare at the annual meeting that any such business not properly brought before the annual meeting shall not be conducted.

(d) Without exception, no person shall be eligible for election or re-election as a director of the corporation at an annual meeting of stockholders unless nominated in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.4(ii).

Except as otherwise provided in the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the written notice of any meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.

2.6 QUORUM

The holders of a majority of the stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of the stockholders. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

If a quorum is not present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, then either (i) the chairperson of the meeting, or (ii) the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present or represented. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted that might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed.

2.7 ADJOURNED MEETING; NOTICE

When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, unless these bylaws otherwise require, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time, place, if any, thereof, and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the board of directors shall fix a new record date for notice of such adjourned meeting in accordance with Section 213(a) of the DGCL and Section 2.11 of these bylaws, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

2.8 CONDUCT OF BUSINESS

The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of business. The chairperson of any meeting of stockholders shall be designated by the board of directors; in the absence of such designation, the chairperson of the board, if any, the chief executive officer (in the absence of the chairperson) or the president (in the absence of the chairperson of the board and the chief executive officer), or in their absence any other executive officer of the corporation, shall serve as chairperson of the stockholder meeting.

2.9 VOTING

Except as may be otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share of capital stock held by such stockholder.

Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall be the act of the stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, directors shall be elected by a plurality of the voting power of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. Where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or series or classes or series present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting shall be the act of such class or series or classes or series, except as otherwise provided by law, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

2.10 STOCKHOLDER ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING

Subject to the rights of the holders of the shares of any series of Preferred Stock or any other class of stock or series thereof that have been expressly granted the right to take action by written consent, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders.

2.11 RECORD DATES

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the board of directors and which record date shall not be more than 60 nor less than 10 days before the date of such meeting. If the board of directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the board of directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination.

If no record date is fixed by the board of directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.

A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the board of directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance with the provisions of Section 213 of the DGCL and this Section 2.11 at the adjourned meeting.

In order that the corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights or the stockholders entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the board of directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall be not more than 60 days prior to such action. If no record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the board of directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.

2.12 PROXIES

Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy authorized by an instrument in writing or by a transmission permitted by law filed in accordance with the procedure established for the meeting, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. The revocability of a proxy that states on its face that it is irrevocable shall be governed by the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. A written proxy may be in the form of a telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission which sets forth or is submitted with information from which it can be determined that the telegram, cablegram, or other means of electronic transmission was authorized by the person.

2.13 LIST OF STOCKHOLDERS ENTITLED TO VOTE

The officer who has charge of the stock ledger of the corporation shall prepare and make, at least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting; provided, however, if the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote is less than 10 days before the meeting date, the list shall reflect the stockholders entitled to vote as of the tenth day before the meeting date. The stockholder list shall be arranged in alphabetical order and show the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder. The corporation shall not be required to include electronic mail addresses or other electronic contact information on such list. Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the corporation’s principal place of business. In the event that the corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Such list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

2.14 INSPECTORS OF ELECTION

Before any meeting of stockholders, the board of directors shall appoint an inspector or inspectors of election to act at the meeting or its adjournment. The number of inspectors shall be either one (1) or three (3). If any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, then the chairperson of the meeting may, and upon the request of any stockholder or a stockholder’s proxy shall, appoint a person to fill that vacancy.

 

5


Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed and designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation outstanding and the voting power of each share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors, (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the corporation represented at the meeting and such inspector or inspectors’ count of all votes and ballots, (vi) determine when the polls shall close; (vii) determine the result; and (viii) do any other acts that may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders.

In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the corporation, the inspector or inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. If there are three (3) inspectors of election, the decision, act or certificate of a majority is effective in all respects as the decision, act or certificate of all. Any report or certificate made by the inspectors of election is prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

ARTICLE III — DIRECTORS

3.1 POWERS

The business and affairs of the corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise provided in the DGCL or the certificate of incorporation.

3.2 NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors shall consist of one or more members, each of whom shall be a natural person. Unless the certificate of incorporation fixes the number of directors, the number of directors shall be determined from time to time solely by resolution of the board of directors. No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director before that director’s term of office expires.

3.3 ELECTION, QUALIFICATION AND TERM OF OFFICE OF DIRECTORS

Except as provided in Section 3.4 of these bylaws, each director, including a director elected to fill a vacancy, shall hold office until the expiration of the term for which elected and until such director’s successor is elected and qualified or until such director’s earlier death, resignation or removal. Directors need not be stockholders unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws. The certificate of incorporation or these bylaws may prescribe other qualifications for directors. If so provided in the certificate of incorporation, the directors of the corporation shall be divided into three classes.

3.4 RESIGNATION AND VACANCIES

Any director may resign at any time upon notice given in writing or by electronic transmission to the corporation; provided, however, that if such notice is given by electronic transmission, such electronic transmission must either set forth or be submitted with information from which it can be determined that the electronic transmission was authorized by the director. A resignation is effective when the resignation is delivered unless the resignation specifies a later effective date or an effective date determined upon the happening of an event or events. Acceptance of such resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective. A resignation which is conditioned upon the director failing to receive a specified vote for reelection as a director may provide that it is irrevocable. Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, when one or more directors resign from the board of directors, effective at a future date, a majority of the directors then in office, including those who have so resigned, shall have power to fill such vacancy or vacancies, the vote thereon to take effect when such resignation or resignations shall become effective.

Unless otherwise provided in the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, vacancies and newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors elected by all of the stockholders having the right to vote as a single class shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. If the directors are divided into classes, a person so elected by the directors then in office to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall have been duly elected and qualified.

If, at the time of filling any vacancy or any newly created directorship, the directors then in office constitute less than a majority of the whole board of directors (as constituted immediately prior to any such increase), the Court of Chancery may, upon application of any stockholder or stockholders holding at least 10% of the voting stock at the time outstanding having the right to vote for such directors, summarily order an election to be held to fill any such vacancies or newly created directorships, or to replace the directors chosen by the directors then in office as aforesaid, which election shall be governed by the provisions of Section 211 of the DGCL as far as applicable.

3.5 PLACE OF MEETINGS; MEETINGS BY TELEPHONE

The board of directors may hold meetings, both regular and special, either within or outside the State of Delaware.

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, members of the board of directors, or any committee designated by the board of directors, may participate in a meeting of the board of directors, or any committee, by means of conference telephone or other communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting.

3.7 SPECIAL MEETINGS; NOTICE

If the notice is sent by United States mail, it shall be deposited in the United States mail at least four days before the time of the holding of the meeting. Any oral notice may be communicated to the director. The notice need not specify the place of the meeting (if the meeting is to be held at the corporation’s principal executive office) nor the purpose of the meeting.

3.8 QUORUM; VOTING

At all meetings of the board of directors, a majority of the total authorized number of directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. If a quorum is not present at any meeting of the board of directors, then the directors present thereat may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. A meeting at which a quorum is initially present may continue to transact business notwithstanding the withdrawal of directors, if any action taken is approved by at least a majority of the required quorum for that meeting.

The vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the board of directors, except as may be otherwise specifically provided by statute, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

If the certificate of incorporation provides that one or more directors shall have more or less than one vote per director on any matter, every reference in these bylaws to a majority or other proportion of the directors shall refer to a majority or other proportion of the votes of the directors.

3.9 BOARD ACTION BY WRITTEN CONSENT WITHOUT A MEETING

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the board of directors, or of any committee thereof, may be taken without a meeting if all members of the board of directors or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing or by electronic transmission and the writing or writings or electronic transmission or transmissions are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the board of directors or committee. Such filing shall be in paper form if the minutes are maintained in paper form and shall be in electronic form if the minutes are maintained in electronic form.

3.10 FEES AND COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Unless otherwise restricted by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, the board of directors shall have the authority to fix the compensation of directors.

3.11 REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

A director may be removed from office by the stockholders of the corporation only for cause.

No reduction of the authorized number of directors shall have the effect of removing any director prior to the expiration of such director’s term of office.

The board of directors, subject to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation or applicable law, may declare and pay dividends upon the shares of the corporation’s capital stock. Dividends may be paid in cash, in property, or in shares of the corporation’s capital stock, subject to the provisions of the certificate of incorporation.

The board of directors may set apart out of any of the funds of the corporation available for dividends a reserve or reserves for any proper purpose and may abolish any such reserve. Such purposes shall include but not be limited to equalizing dividends, repairing or maintaining any property of the corporation, and meeting contingencies.

6.5 TRANSFER OF STOCK

Transfers of record of shares of stock of the corporation shall be made only upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by an attorney duly authorized, and, if such stock is certificated, upon the surrender of a certificate or certificates for a like number of shares, properly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignation or authority to transfer; provided, however, that such succession, assignment or authority to transfer is not prohibited by the certificate of incorporation, these bylaws, applicable law or contract.

6.6 STOCK TRANSFER AGREEMENTS

(ii) shall be entitled to hold liable for calls and assessments the person registered on its books as the owner of shares; and

(iii) shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of another person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by the laws of Delaware.

ARTICLE VII — MANNER OF GIVING NOTICE AND WAIVER

7.1 NOTICE OF STOCKHOLDERS’ MEETINGS

Notice of any meeting of stockholders, if mailed, is given when deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to the stockholder at such stockholder’s address as it appears on the corporation’s records. An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

 

11


7.2 NOTICE BY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders pursuant to the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any such consent shall be deemed revoked if:

(i) the corporation is unable to deliver by electronic transmission two consecutive notices given by the corporation in accordance with such consent; and

(ii) such inability becomes known to the secretary or an assistant secretary of the corporation or to the transfer agent, or other person responsible for the giving of notice.

However, the inadvertent failure to treat such inability as a revocation shall not invalidate any meeting or other action.

Any notice given pursuant to the preceding paragraph shall be deemed given:

 

  (i) if by facsimile telecommunication, when directed to a number at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

 

  (ii) if by electronic mail, when directed to an electronic mail address at which the stockholder has consented to receive notice;

 

  (iii) if by a posting on an electronic network together with separate notice to the stockholder of such specific posting, upon the later of (A) such posting and (B) the giving of such separate notice; and

 

  (iv) if by any other form of electronic transmission, when directed to the stockholder.

An affidavit of the secretary or an assistant secretary or of the transfer agent or other agent of the corporation that the notice has been given by a form of electronic transmission shall, in the absence of fraud, be prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein.

An “electronic transmission” means any form of communication, not directly involving the physical transmission of paper, that creates a record that may be retained, retrieved, and reviewed by a recipient thereof, and that may be directly reproduced in paper form by such a recipient through an automated process.

7.3 NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS SHARING AN ADDRESS

Except as otherwise prohibited under the DGCL, without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given effectively to stockholders, any notice to stockholders given by the corporation under the provisions of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws shall be effective if given by a single written notice to stockholders who share an address if consented to by the stockholders at that address to whom such notice is given. Any such consent shall be revocable by the stockholder by written notice to the corporation. Any stockholder who fails to object in writing to the corporation, within 60 days of having been given written notice by the corporation of its intention to send the single notice, shall be deemed to have consented to receiving such single written notice.

7.4 NOTICE TO PERSON WITH WHOM COMMUNICATION IS UNLAWFUL

Whenever notice is required to be given, under the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, to any person with whom communication is unlawful, the giving of such notice to such person shall not be required and there shall be no duty to apply to any governmental authority or agency for a license or permit to give such notice to such person. Any action or meeting which shall be taken or held without notice to any such person with whom communication is unlawful shall have the same force and effect as if such notice had been duly given. In the event that the action taken by the corporation is such as to require the filing of a certificate under the DGCL, the certificate shall state, if such is the fact and if notice is required, that notice was given to all persons entitled to receive notice except such persons with whom communication is unlawful.

7.5 WAIVER OF NOTICE

Whenever notice is required to be given to stockholders, directors or other persons under any provision of the DGCL, the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws, a written waiver, signed by the person entitled to notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time of the event for which notice is to be given, shall be deemed equivalent to notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting, to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened. Neither the business to be transacted at, nor the purpose of, any regular or special meeting of the stockholders or the board of directors, as the case may be, need be specified in any written waiver of notice or any waiver by electronic transmission unless so required by the certificate of incorporation or these bylaws.

ARTICLE VIII — INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”) (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of the corporation or an officer of the corporation, or while a director of the corporation or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such Proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. The termination of any Proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that such person’s conduct was unlawful.

8.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS IN ACTIONS BY OR IN THE RIGHT OF THE CORPORATION

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, as now or hereinafter in effect, any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the corporation, or while a director or officer of the corporation is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the Court of Chancery or such other court shall deem proper.

8.3 SUCCESSFUL DEFENSE

To the extent that a present or former director or officer of the corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described in Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

8.4 INDEMNIFICATION OF OTHERS

Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, the corporation shall have power to indemnify its employees and its agents to the extent not prohibited by the DGCL or other applicable law.

8.5 ADVANCED PAYMENT OF EXPENSES

Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an officer or director of the corporation in defending any Proceeding shall be paid by the corporation in advance of the final disposition of such Proceeding upon receipt of a written request therefor (together with documentation reasonably evidencing such expenses) and an undertaking by or on behalf of the person to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article VIII or the DGCL. Such expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by former directors and officers or other employees and agents may be so paid upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the corporation deems reasonably appropriate and shall be subject to the corporation’s expense guidelines. The right to advancement of expenses shall not apply to any claim for which indemnity is excluded pursuant to these bylaws, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Section 8.6(ii) or 8.6(iii) prior to a determination that the person is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation.

8.6 LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION

Subject to the requirements in Section 8.3 and the DGCL, the corporation shall not be obligated to indemnify any person pursuant to this Article VIII in connection with any Proceeding (or any part of any Proceeding):

(i) for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of such person under any statute, insurance policy, indemnity provision, vote or otherwise, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid;

 

13


(ii) for an accounting or disgorgement of profits pursuant to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, or similar provisions of federal, state or local statutory law or common law, if such person is held liable therefor (including pursuant to any settlement arrangements);

(v) if prohibited by applicable law; provided, however, that if any provision or provisions of this Article VIII shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (1) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby; and (2) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Article VIII (including, without limitation, each such portion of any paragraph or clause containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforcebable.

8.8 NON-EXCLUSIVITY OF RIGHTS

The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VIII shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the certificate of incorporation or any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person’s official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office.

CAMPBELL, Calif., May 1, 2017 – Jive Software, Inc. (Nasdaq: JIVE), today announced that ESW Capital, LLC, through its affiliate Wave Systems, is acquiring Jive and that Jive will become a part of the Aurea family of companies. The transaction is valued at $462 million. Under the terms of the agreement, an affiliate of Aurea will commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Jive common stock for $5.25 in cash per share. This represents a premium of 20% to the average of Jive’s closing stock price during the three months ending on April 28, 2017. Jive’s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the merger agreement and recommends that Jive stockholders tender their shares in the tender offer.

Completion of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including a majority of the outstanding shares having been tendered in the tender offer and clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino (HSR) Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. The parties expect the transaction to be completed in June 2017. Following completion of the transaction, Jive’s common stock will be delisted from the NASDAQ and deregistered from the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

8


9.4    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

9.5    Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be binding upon either party unless made in writing and signed by all parties. This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and such Stockholder.

9.6    Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Without limiting any of the restrictions set forth in in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon any Person to whom any Subject Securities are transferred. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any Person, other than the parties hereto, any rights or remedies of any nature.

9.7    Independence of Obligations. The covenants and obligations of such Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall be construed as independent of any other agreement or arrangement between such Stockholder, on the one hand, and the Acquisition Sub and Parent, on the other. The existence of any claim or cause of action by such Stockholder against the Acquisition Sub or Parent shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of such covenants or obligations against such Stockholder. The obligations of each Stockholder under this Agreement are several and not joint, and no Stockholder shall have any liability or obligation under this Agreement for any breach hereunder by any other Stockholder.

9.8    Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any party hereto, and that the obligations of the parties hereto shall be enforceable by any party hereto through injunctive or other equitable relief.

9.9    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.

9


9.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by facsimile or by electronic delivery shall be sufficient to bind the parties to the terms of this Agreement.

9.12    Waiver. No failure on the part of Parent or Acquisition Sub to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of Parent or Acquisition Sub 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. Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall be deemed to have waived any claim available to Parent or Acquisition Sub arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy of Parent or Acquisition under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of Parent or Acquisition Sub, as applicable; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

9.13    Termination. This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder and thereunder shall terminate, and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder and thereunder, and this Agreement shall become null and void on, and have no further effect as of, after the Termination Date. Upon termination of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, that (a) nothing set forth in this Section 9.13 shall relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof and (b) the provisions of this Section 9 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

9.14    Directors and Officers. This Agreement applies to Stockholder solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of Subject Securities, and not to Stockholder or any representative of Stockholder serving as a director or officer of the Company in such capacity. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein shall in any way restrict a director or officer of the Company in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company or in his or her capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director or officer of the Company or any trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director, officer, trustee or fiduciary.

9.15    No Ownership Interest. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Securities at a given time shall remain vested in and belong to Stockholder as of such time, and Parent shall have no authority to exercise any power or authority to direct Stockholder in the voting of any of the Subject Securities, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, or in the performance of Stockholder’s duties or responsibilities as a stockholder of the Company.
