This Amendment No. 2 to the joint statement on Schedule 13D with respect to the common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), of Skullcandy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), filed by Thomas E. Lynch, Scott P. Scharfman, Mill Road Capital II GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Mill Road Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (collectively, the “Reporting Persons”), on June 24, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Schedule 13D with respect to the Common Stock filed by the Reporting Persons on July 25, 2016 (such joint statement, as so amended and as amended herein, the “Schedule 13D”), amends the Schedule 13D as follows.

Introduction

This Amendment No. 2 relates to the letter dated August 15, 2016 from Mill Road Capital Management LLC (the “Management Company”) to the members of the Issuer’s board of directors (the “August 15 Proposal”), proposing to acquire 100% of the fully diluted stock of the Issuer for cash consideration of $6.25 per share, payable at closing (the “Merger”), pursuant to a proposed form of Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among MRSK Hold Co., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), MRSL Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Issuer.

The foregoing description of the August 15 Proposal does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the August 15 Proposal, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Introduction.

1. Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and restated as follows:

“The Reporting Persons acquired beneficial ownership of an aggregate of 2,805,320 shares of Common Stock for $15,148,207.74 using working capital from the Fund and the proceeds of margin loans under margin loan facilities maintained in the ordinary course of business by the Fund with a broker on customary terms and conditions.

The Debt Commitment Letter

Pursuant to a commitment letter dated as of August 12, 2016 (the “Debt Commitment Letter”) provided by Cerberus Business Finance, LLC and PNC Bank, National Association (together, the “Lenders”) to the Fund, the Lenders have committed, in connection with consummation of the Merger and subject to certain terms and conditions, to provide a senior secured financing facility in the maximum aggregate amount of $125 million, consisting of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $40 million outstanding at any time and (ii) a term loan facility of up to $85 million. The foregoing description of the Debt Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Debt Commitment Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 11 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.


CUSIP No. 83083J104       Page 7 of 10 Pages

 

The Equity Commitment Letter

Pursuant to a commitment letter (the “Equity Commitment Letter”) to be provided by the Fund to Parent, the Fund will agree, subject to certain terms and conditions, to purchase equity interests of Parent for an aggregate amount equal to (i) the aggregate amount of merger consideration payable to holders of Common Stock, and holders of certain equity awards granted by the Issuer under its long-term and equity incentive plans, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, plus (ii) certain payment obligations of the surviving corporation under the Merger Agreement, minus (iii) $75 million (representing a portion of anticipated debt financing), minus (iv) $10.4 million (representing a portion of the Company’s anticipated cash and short term marketable securities as of the effective time of the Merger). The Fund may meet this funding obligation, in its discretion, directly or indirectly through its affiliates and/or with other accredited investors selected by the Fund. The foregoing description of the Equity Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Equity Commitment Letter, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 12 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.

The Sponsor Guarantee

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and in order to induce the Issuer to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Fund will provide the Issuer a guarantee of (i) Parent’s obligation to pay the equity portion of the financing for the Merger, if and when such payments are applicable, or (ii) the payment of any and all damages incurred by the Issuer or its stockholders as a result of a breach by Parent or Merger Sub of any of their obligations under the Merger Agreement (the “Sponsor Guarantee”). The foregoing description of the Sponsor Guarantee does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Guarantee, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 13 to this Schedule 13D and is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 3.”

2. Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by deleting its second and third paragraphs and replacing them with the following:

“On July 24, 2016, the Management Company sent an unsolicited proposal to the members of the Issuer’s board of directors, proposing to acquire 100% of the fully diluted stock of the Issuer for cash consideration of $6.05 per share, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 5 to this Schedule 13D.

On August 15, 2016, the Management Company sent the August 15 Proposal to the members of the Issuer’s board of directors, proposing to acquire 100% of the fully diluted stock of the Issuer for cash consideration of $6.25 per share, payable at closing, pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Management Company anticipates that the Merger will be structured as a tender offer followed promptly by a merger effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, identical to the current structure agreed to by the Issuer pursuant to its existing June 23, 2016 Agreement and Plan of Merger with Incipio, LLC and Powder Merger Sub, Inc. (as amended to date, the


CUSIP No. 83083J104       Page 8 of 10 Pages

 

Existing Merger Agreement”). Parent and Merger Sub are prepared to sign a definitive merger agreement in the form of the Merger Agreement, including terms and conditions substantially identical to the Existing Merger Agreement. The foregoing descriptions of the August 15 Proposal and the Merger Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the August 15 Proposal and the Merger Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibit 10 and Exhibit 14, respectively, to this Schedule 13D and are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 4.

Item 3 of this Schedule 13D, which contains descriptions of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Sponsor Guarantee, and the copies of the Debt Commitment Letter, the Equity Commitment Letter and the Sponsor Guarantee filed as Exhibit 11Exhibit 12 and Exhibit 13, respectively, to this Schedule 13D, are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this Item 4.”

3. Paragraph (a, b) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended by deleting its first paragraph and replacing it with the following:

“The percentages of beneficial ownership reported in this Item 5, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are based on a total of 28,746,664 shares of the Common Stock issued and outstanding as of July 29, 2016, as reported in the most recent quarterly report of the Issuer on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2016. All of the share numbers reported below, and on each Reporting Person’s cover page to this Schedule 13D, are as of August 15, 2016, unless otherwise indicated. The cover page to this Schedule 13D for each Reporting Person is incorporated by reference in its entirety into this Item 5(a, b).”

4. Paragraph (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended by inserting the following at its end:

“No Reporting Person has effected any transaction in shares of the Common Stock since July 25, 2016 (the date of the filing of Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D).”

5. Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is amended by inserting the following at its end:

Members of the Board of Directors of Skullcandy, Inc.

c/o Peter J. Solomon Company

1345 Avenue of the Americas, 31st Floor

New York, NY 10105

Dear Members of the Board:

Mill Road Capital Management LLC and its affiliated funds (“Mill Road”) are pleased to present this proposal (the “Proposal”) to acquire Skullcandy, Inc. (the “Company”), which differs from Mill Road’s proposal of yesterday in that this Proposal provides the Company with greater security that a closing with Mill Road will occur. Specifically, Mill Road is willing to provide to the Company in escrow its and its affiliates’ signatures to the Merger Agreement and related documents, as described below. Additionally, we highlight to the Board that our price is higher than the price in the Existing Merger Agreement (as defined below) by 15 cents per share. The terms of our Proposal are as follows:

 

    Price and Form of Consideration. Mill Road proposes to acquire 100% of the fully diluted stock of the Company for cash consideration of $6.25 per share, payable at closing.

 

    Transaction Structure. Mill Road anticipates the transaction will be structured as a tender offer followed promptly by a merger effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, identical to the current structure agreed to by the Company pursuant to its existing June 23, 2016 Agreement and Plan of Merger with Incipio, LLC and Powder Merger Sub, Inc. (as amended to date, the “Existing Merger Agreement”).

 

    Financing. Mill Road will provide all of the equity capital necessary for the Proposal; please see the form Equity Commitment Letter and form Sponsor Guarantee, attached as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, to this Proposal. In addition, Mill Road has obtained a Debt Commitment Letter from Cerberus Business Finance, LLC and PNC Bank, National Association, which is attached as Exhibit C to this Proposal.

 

    Approvals. The Investment Committee of Mill Road, consisting of the senior investment professionals of the firm, has approved the Proposal. Mill Road does not require any further partnership approvals to move forward. Because Mill Road does not own interests in any businesses that compete with the Company, we anticipate that any required regulatory approvals, such as Hart-Scott-Rodino approval, would not materially impact the timing or certainty of the transaction.

 

382 Greenwich Avenue, Suite One ● Greenwich, CT 06830 ● (203) 987-3500


    Diligence. Mill Road and its advisors have been granted access to the Company’s data room, have completed applicable diligence of the Company and do not require any additional diligence.

 

    Merger Agreement. Mill Road is prepared to sign a definitive merger agreement including terms and conditions substantially identical to the Existing Merger Agreement. Please see Mill Road’s proposed form of merger agreement attached as Exhibit D to this Proposal. Mill Road would be pleased to make our counsel available to speak with the Company’s counsel if it would be helpful to discuss the terms of Mill Road’s proposed merger agreement. Contact information is found at the end of this letter.

 

    Timing. Mill Road is prepared to move expeditiously to execute a definitive acquisition agreement. Mill Road is willing to deliver its and its affiliates’ signature pages to the Merger Agreement and related documents to you pursuant to mutually agreeable reasonable escrow terms, if the Company’s Board of Directors determines that this Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a “Superior Proposal” (as defined in the Existing Merger Agreement).

 

    Contact. Please contact Thomas Lynch to answer any questions with regards to this letter. Contact information is found at the end of this letter.

 

    Legal Disclaimer. This letter is not intended to create and shall not create legally binding obligations to enter into an acquisition agreement or any other documentation contemplated by this letter or consummate any proposed transaction and creates no rights in favor of the Company with respect to the proposed transaction. A binding commitment with respect to the proposed transaction will result only from execution of a definitive acquisition agreement.

  Re: Financing Commitment

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Mill Road Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Sponsor” or “you”), has advised Cerberus Business Finance, LLC (“Cerberus”) and PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC” and, together with Cerberus, each, as a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”, “we” or “us”) that, through an entity identified as MRSL Merger Co. (“Acquisition Co.” or “Borrower”, together with any other subsidiaries that may become a borrower, the “Borrowers”), you intend to acquire (the “Acquisition”) all of the outstanding equity interests of Skullcandy, Inc. (individually and collectively with its subsidiaries, as appropriate, the “Target Company” or the “Acquired Business”) pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement (as defined in the Term Sheet) (including the tender offer for the shares of common stock of the Target Company (the “Tender Offer”) and the merger of Acquisition Co. with and into the Target Company (the “Merger”) contemplated thereby), and that the Borrowers require financing (a) to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Acquisition, (b) to pay fees and expenses related to the financing contemplated by this commitment letter and the Acquisition, and (c) to fund the Borrowers’ ongoing working capital requirements and capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes. The Lenders are pleased to advise you that the Lenders hereby commit to provide the Borrowers with a senior secured financing facility in the maximum aggregate amount of $125,000,000 (the “Financing Facility”) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Outline of Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”). The Financing Facility will consist of (i) a revolving credit facility of up to $40,000,000 outstanding at any time and (ii) a term loan facility of up to $85,000,000.

The commitment of each Lender under this commitment letter is several and not joint; it being understood that (a) PNC has committed to provide the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined in the Term Sheet) and (b) Cerberus has committed to provide the Term Loan (as defined in the Term Sheet). The obligations of each Lender to provide its portion of the Financing Facility shall be subject to each other Lender providing its portion of the Financing Facility.

  Re: Commitment Letter for Acquisition of Skullcandy, Inc.

Dear Sir:

Reference is made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (including all schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among MRSK Hold Co., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), MRSL Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Acquisition Sub”), and Skullcandy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), pursuant to which Acquisition Sub will commence a tender offer for the Company’s capital stock (the “Offer”), followed promptly by a merger of Acquisition Sub with and into the Company pursuant to Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Merger”). This commitment letter is being delivered to Parent to induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

1. Commitment. Mill Road Capital II, L.P. (“Sponsor”) hereby commits, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, that, upon the Acceptance Time and at the Closing (as applicable), it shall purchase, or shall cause the purchase of, equity interests of Parent for an aggregate amount equal to the total amount resulting from (a) (i) the aggregate amount that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to pay for any Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase at the Acceptance Time (the “Offer Consideration”) , subject to all terms and conditions of the Offer, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of the Exchange Fund, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of the payment obligations of the Surviving Corporation under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e) of the Merger Agreement, minus (b) $75 million (representing a portion of anticipated Debt Financing), minus (c) $10.4 million (representing a portion of the Company’s anticipated cash and short term marketable securities as of the Effective Time) (collectively, the “Commitment”), solely for the purpose of funding, and to the extent necessary to fund, a portion of the aggregate Offer Consideration and Merger Consideration pursuant to and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, together with related expenses; provided, that Sponsor shall not, under any circumstances, be obligated to contribute to, purchase equity or debt of, or otherwise provide funds to Parent or Acquisition Sub in any amount in excess of the Commitment. Sponsor may meet its obligation to fund the Commitment directly or indirectly through one or more of Sponsor’s Affiliates, or together with certain other Persons that are “accredited investors” (as such term is defined

under Rule 501 of Regulation D, as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act), as selected by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. The amount of the Commitment to be funded under this commitment letter simultaneous with Acceptance Time or the Closing (as applicable) may be reduced in an amount specified by Parent but only to the extent that Parent has consummated the Offer or the Closing (as applicable) as contemplated by the Merger Agreement with Sponsor contributing, or causing to be contributed in accordance with this Section 1, less than the full amount of the Commitment.

2. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Commitment financing will be used by Parent to provide a portion of the funds needed to pay for any Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase at the Acceptance Time pursuant to the Offer, to consummate the Merger and to pay transaction expenses in connection with the Merger (including reimbursement of Sponsor for all such expenses incurred by Sponsor). If and to the extent that all such funding and expense commitments are satisfied, any remaining proceeds may be used for general working capital.

3. Conditions. Sponsor’s funding of the Offer Consideration shall be subject to (a) the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Company, and (b) the satisfaction or waiver at the Acceptance Time of each of the conditions to the Offer contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition). Sponsor’s funding of the Merger Consideration shall be subject to the satisfaction or waiver at the Closing of each of the conditions to Parent’s and Acquisition Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Parent acknowledges and agrees that Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, fund a portion of the Commitment through any financing sources available to it at the applicable time, including any Debt Financing (or alternative debt financing) to be obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

4. Sponsor Guarantee. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this commitment letter, Sponsor is executing and delivering to the Company a Sponsor Guarantee (the “Sponsor Guarantee”).

5. Enforceability. This commitment letter may only be enforced by Sponsor and Parent at the direction of Sponsor. Parent’s creditors shall have no right to enforce this commitment letter or to cause Parent to enforce this commitment letter. This commitment letter may not be specifically enforced.

6. Termination. The obligation of Sponsor to fund the Commitment will terminate automatically and immediately upon the earliest to occur of (a) the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (b) the Closing, at which time the Sponsor’s obligation hereunder will be fulfilled, and (c) the Company or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, asserting a claim against Sponsor, Parent or Acquisition Sub or any of the Non-Recourse Parties (as defined in Section 14, below) under the Sponsor Guarantee or in connection with the Merger Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Exhibit 13

SPONSOR GUARANTEE

[DATE], 2016

This Sponsor Guarantee (this “Guarantee”) is made and entered into as of the date set forth above by Mill Road Capital II, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Guarantor”), in favor and for the benefit of Skullcandy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Capitalized terms used in this Guarantee but not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings given to such terms in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Company, MRSK Hold Co., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and MRSL Merger Co., a Delaware corporation (“Acquisition Sub”).

1. Guarantee; Payment Obligations. To induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, Acquisition Sub will commence a tender offer for the Company Shares and subsequently merge with and into the Company under Section 251(h) of the DGCL, with the Company as the Surviving Corporation, the Guarantor absolutely, unconditionally, and irrevocably guarantees to the Company, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions herein, (i) the due, punctual and complete payment and performance of the payment obligations of Parent to pay the Equity Commitment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, or (ii) full and timely payment by Parent and Acquisition Sub of any and all damages incurred by the Company or its stockholders as a result of a breach by Parent or Acquisition Sub of any of their obligations under the Merger Agreement (the obligations described in this sentence being referred to herein as the “Payment Obligations”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Guarantor’s obligations and liability under this Guarantee exceed the amount of the Sponsor Liability. For purposes of this Guarantee, the “Equity Commitment” shall mean, and be calculated as, (a) if, when and as due pursuant to the Merger Agreement, (i) the aggregate Offer Price for those Company Shares tendered in the Offer, plus (ii) the Merger Consideration, plus (iii) the aggregate amount of the payment obligations of the Surviving Corporation under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e) of the Merger Agreement, minus (b) $75 million (representing a portion of anticipated Debt Financing), minus (c) $10.4 million (representing a portion of the Company’s anticipated cash and short term marketable securities as of the Effective Time). For purposes of this Guarantee, the “Sponsor Liability” shall mean, and be calculated as, (a) (i) the aggregate Offer Price for all Company Shares outstanding, other than those owned by the Guarantor or its Affiliates, as of the date hereof, plus (ii) the aggregate amount of the payment obligations of the Surviving Corporation under Sections 3.7(d) and 3.7(e) of the Merger Agreement, calculated as of the date hereof, minus (b) $75 million (representing a portion of anticipated Debt Financing), minus (c) $10.4 million (representing a portion of the Company’s anticipated cash and short term marketable securities as of the Effective Time). All payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be made in immediately available United States funds. The parties hereto agree that (y) this Guarantee may not be enforced without giving effect to limitations on the Guarantor’s liability to the amount of the Sponsor Liability, and (z) the Guarantor (or its Affiliates) may assert any and all defenses to which Parent or Acquisition Sub may have to payment of any portion of the Payment Obligations.


2. Unconditional Guarantee. The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Payment Obligations in the event that Parent or Acquisition Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. This is an unconditional guarantee of payment and performance and not of collectibility, and one or more separate actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor to enforce this Guarantee, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Parent or Acquisition Sub or whether Parent or Acquisition Sub is joined in any such action or actions, provided that Guarantor shall have the right to assert defenses that Parent or Acquisition Sub may have to the payment of any portion of the Payment Obligations under the terms of the Merger Agreement, other than any such defense arising out of, due to, or as a result of, the insolvency or bankruptcy of Parent or Acquisition Sub. If any payment by Parent or Acquisition Sub of the Payment Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever (other than pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement or due to a breach of the Merger Agreement by the Company), the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Payment Obligations (plus any Prevailing Party Cost, as defined in Section 16 below) as if such payment had not been made.

3. Changes in Payment Obligations; Certain Waivers.

(a) The Guarantor agrees that the Company may, at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of the Guarantor, make any agreement with Parent or Acquisition Sub for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge, or release of any portion of the Payment Obligations, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Company and Parent or Acquisition Sub without in any way impairing or affecting this Guarantee. The Guarantor agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Company to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent or Acquisition Sub with respect to payment of the Payment Obligations; (ii) any agreement with Parent or Acquisition Sub with respect to (A) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any portion of the Payment Obligations, (B) any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation, or other amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement or (C) any other agreement evidencing, securing, or otherwise executed in connection with any portion of the Payment Obligations; (iii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent or Acquisition Sub; (v) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceeding affecting Parent or Acquisition Sub; (vi) the existence of any claim, set off or other right that the Guarantor may have at any time against Parent or Acquisition Sub, whether in connection with the Payment Obligations or otherwise; or (vii) the adequacy of any other means the Company may have of obtaining payment of any portion of the Payment Obligations.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any law that would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Company. The Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Payment Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any Payment Obligation incurred and any and all other notices of any

 

2


kind (except for notices required to be provided to Parent and Acquisition Sub under the Merger Agreement), all defenses that may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law, or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent or Acquisition Sub with respect to the Payment Obligations, and all suretyship defenses generally (whether at law or in equity), other than breach by the Company of this Guarantee. The Guarantor acknowledges that, as an Affiliate of Parent and Acquisition Sub, it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits and after the advice of counsel.

4. No Waiver; Cumulative Rights. No failure on the part of the Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Company or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Company at any time or from time to time. The Company shall not have any obligation to proceed at any time or in any manner against, or exhaust any or all of the Company’s rights against, Parent or Acquisition Sub prior to proceeding against Guarantor. Following the Effective Time, the rights of the Company under this Guarantee may not be waived without the written consent of a majority of the individuals who were serving as directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

5. Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a) the Guarantor has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Guarantee and to pay the Payment Obligations as required hereunder;

(b) the execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company action and do not contravene any provision of the Guarantor’s charter, partnership agreement, operating agreement, or similar organizational documents or any law, regulation, rule, decree, order, judgment, or contractual restriction binding on the Guarantor or its assets;

(c) all consents, approvals, authorizations, permits of, or filings with and notifications to, any governmental authority necessary for the due execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee by the Guarantor have been obtained or made, and all conditions thereof have been duly complied with, and no other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance of this Guarantee;

(d) this Guarantee constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to (i) the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law); and

(e) Guarantor has the financial capacity to pay and perform its obligations under this Guarantee, and all funds necessary for the Guarantor to fulfill such obligations under this Guarantee are currently available to Guarantor and shall remain available to the Guarantor for so long as this Guarantee shall remain in effect in accordance with Section 8 hereof.

6. Assignment. The Guarantor may not assign or delegate, as applicable, its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder to any other person (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Company. The rights of the Company under this Guarantee may not be assigned without the prior written consent of Guarantor; provided, however, that, following the Effective Time, the rights of the Company under this Guarantee may not be assigned without the written consent of a majority of the individuals who were serving as directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article IX, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than seven (7) Business Days thereafter), Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase any and all of the Company Shares at a price per Company Share, subject to the terms of Section 2.1(c), equal to the Offer Price. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to all of the Company Stockholders and contains the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in Annex A. Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof and thereof. The Offer shall be subject only to:

(i) the condition (the “Minimum Condition”) that, prior to the expiration of the Offer, there be validly tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of Company Shares that, together with the Company Shares then owned by Parent, Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates (if any), represents at least a majority of all then outstanding Company Shares (not including Company Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depository of the Offer); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex A.

(b) Waiver of Conditions. Acquisition Sub expressly reserves the right to waive any of the conditions to the Offer and to make, in its sole and absolute discretion, 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 and absolute discretion, Acquisition Sub may not (and Parent shall not permit Acquisition Sub to) (i) waive the Minimum Condition or the condition set forth in clause (C)(1) of Annex A or (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 Company Shares sought in the Offer, (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required by the provisions of Section 2.1(d), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Annex A, or (E) amends any other term or condition of the Offer (including those set forth in Annex A) in any manner that is adverse to the Company Stockholders.

(c) 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

 

- 14 -


any dividend or other 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, Company Shares that are tendered pursuant to the Offer.

(d) 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, New York Time, on the date that is twenty (20) Business Days after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) (as such date and time may be extended, the “Expiration Time”). 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 2.1(d)(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 that is applicable to the Offer;

(B) in the event that any of the conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex A, other than the Minimum Condition, 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; and

(C) in the event that all of the conditions to the Offer set forth on Annex A have been satisfied or waived (if permitted hereunder), except that the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, as of any then scheduled expiration of the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer for an extension period of ten (10) Business Days (or any longer period as may be approved in advance by the Company), it being understood and agreed that Acquisition Sub shall not be required to extend the Offer pursuant to this clause (C) on more than two (2) occasions, but may, in its sole discretion, elect to do so;

provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (A), (B) or (C) of this Section 2.1(d)(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 IX, and in no event shall Acquisition Sub be required to extend the Offer beyond the Termination Date.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub shall extend the Offer in any manner other than pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(d)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.

 

- 15 -


(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 IX, 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.

(e) Payment for Company Shares.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Offer, Acquisition Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Acquisition Sub to) accept for payment, and pay for, all Company Shares that are validly tendered during the “subsequent offering period” promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after any such Company Shares are validly tendered during the “subsequent offering period.” 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 Company Shares that Acquisition Sub becomes obligated to purchase during such “subsequent offering period.” The Offer Price payable in respect of each Company Share that is validly tendered during the “subsequent offering period” shall be paid net to the holder thereof in cash, subject to reduction for any withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e).

(c) Statutory Rights of Appraisal.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, all Company Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by Company Stockholders who shall have neither 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 Company Shares 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 3.7(a). Such Company Stockholders shall be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of such Dissenting Company Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except 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 Company Shares in the manner provided in Section 3.8.

(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 participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under Delaware Law in respect of Dissenting Company Shares.

Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full, (ii) each Company Option that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and terminated as of

 

- 22 -


the Effective Time and (iii) each holder of each such Company Option shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Section 3.8(e), an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) an amount equal to (A) the Offer Price, less (B) the per share exercise price of such Company Option (the “Option Consideration”) (it being understood and agreed that such exercise price shall not actually be paid to the Surviving Corporation by the holder of a Company Option). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each of the holders of Company Options, the applicable Option Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e)) as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regular payroll date) thereafter.

(e) Company RSU Awards. Effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, (i) the vesting of each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated in full (which, in the case of a Company RSU Award that vests in whole or in part on the basis of achievement of performance goals, shall be determined as if performance were at 100% of targeted performance), (ii) each Company RSU Award that remains outstanding as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and terminated as of the Effective Time and (iii) each holder of each such Company RSU Award shall be entitled to be paid by the Surviving Corporation promptly after the Effective Time, subject to Section 3.8(e), an amount in cash (without interest), if any, equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the aggregate number of Company Shares underlying such Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Offer Price (the “RSU Consideration”). Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing, Parent shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Surviving Corporation, and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay to each of the holders of Company RSU Awards, the applicable RSU Consideration (less any applicable withholding Taxes pursuant to Section 3.8(e)) as promptly as practicable (and in no event later than the next regular payroll date) thereafter.

(f) The Company, the Company Board and any applicable committee thereof shall take all requisite action to effectuate the provisions of Section 3.7(d) and Section 3.7(e), above.

Section 3.8. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Payment Agent. Prior to the Acceptance Time, Parent shall 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 Company Stockholders pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, an amount of cash equal to the aggregate consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock are entitled under this Article III (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Option Consideration or the RSU Consideration). 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

 

- 23 -


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. No investment or losses thereon shall affect the consideration to which holders of Company Common Stock are entitled under this Article III and 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 amount required to promptly pay in full the cash amounts contemplated by this Article III, 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 to make in full such payments contemplated by this Article III.

(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 evidenced outstanding Company Shares and (ii) uncertificated Company Shares (the “Uncertificated Shares”), in each case, whose Company Shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7 (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 (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 III. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Payment Agent, 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 Company Shares represented by such Certificate that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e)), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. 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 Company Shares represented by such holder’s transferred Uncertificated Shares that were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.7, by (y) the Merger Consideration (less any applicable withholding Tax pursuant to Section 3.8(e)), and the transferred Uncertificated Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. 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 and reasonable 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 3.8. 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 III.

 

- 24 -


(d) Transfers of Ownership. In the event that a transfer of ownership of Company Shares 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 or other similar 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 reasonable satisfaction of Parent (or any agent designated by Parent) that such 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 to any holder or former holder of Company Shares, Company Options and Company RSU Awards such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Tax Laws; provided, however, that before making any such deduction or withholding, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Company, a reasonable period of time prior to Closing, notice of any applicable payor’s intention to make such deduction or withholding and, in reasonable detail, the authority, basis and method of calculation for the proposed deduction or withholding, and provide the Company with a reasonable opportunity to obtain reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding from the applicable Governmental Authority and/or execute and deliver to or file with such Governmental Authority and/or Parent such affidavits, certificates and other documents as may reasonably be expected to afford to the Company and its stockholders reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. Parent shall reasonably cooperate with the Company to obtain such reduction of or relief from such deduction or withholding. To the extent that such amounts are so deducted, withheld and remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority, 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 or any other party hereto shall be liable to a Company Stockholder 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 Company Stockholder who has not theretofore surrendered his, her or its Certificates or Uncertificated Shares evidencing such Company Shares for exchange pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.8 shall thereafter look for payment of the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Shares represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares solely to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws), 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 III.

Section 3.9. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all Company Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and cease to exist, and each holder of a Certificate or Uncertificated Shares theretofore representing any Company Shares 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 3.8. The Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III 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 Company Shares 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 canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III.

Section 3.10. 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, in the form and substance as reasonably requested by the Payment Agent, and the posting by such holders of a bond in customary and reasonable amount and upon such terms as may reasonably be required by Parent as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.7.

Section 3.11. Necessary Further Actions. As of the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation will be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Acquisition Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company and Acquisition Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement is intended to give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries at any time prior to the Acceptance Time. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their own business and operations.

Section 6.2. No Solicitation; Adverse Recommendation Change.

(a) The Company agrees that, except as expressly permitted by this Section 6.2, until the Acceptance Time or, if earlier, the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their respective Representatives to, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit or knowingly facilitate or encourage, including by way of furnishing non-public information, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to holders of Company Shares) that constitutes or that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal; (ii) enter into, engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide any non-public information or data to any Person relating to, any Acquisition Proposal, except solely to notify such Person of the existence of this Section 6.2; (iii) agree to, approve, endorse, recommend or consummate any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any letter of intent, contract or other agreement (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in compliance with this Section 6.2) or commitment contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Proposal; (iv) grant any waiver, amendment or release under any standstill or similar agreement, the Rights Agreement or Section 203 of the DGCL (and the Company shall promptly take all action necessary to terminate or cause to be terminated any such waiver previously granted with respect to any provision of any such standstill or similar agreement, the Rights Agreement or Section 203 of the DGCL to the extent permitted thereby to do so); or (v) otherwise knowingly facilitate any effort or attempt by any Person to make an Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors and other Representatives to, cease immediately any discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Person (other than Parent and Acquisition Sub and their respective Affiliates and Representatives) conducted prior to the execution of this Agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and the Company shall promptly request each Person (other than Parent) that has theretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with such Person’s consideration of an Acquisition Proposal to return (or if permitted by the applicable agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable agreement.

 

- 53 -


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to the Acceptance Time, (i) the Company receives a written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal was unsolicited and did not otherwise result from a breach of this Section 6.2, and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, then the Company may (x) furnish information or data with respect to the Company and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Acquisition Proposal pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided that any non-public information provided to any such Person shall have been previously provided to Parent or shall be provided to Parent prior to or concurrently with the time it is provided to such Person (or Parent shall be given access to such information) and (y) participate in discussions or negotiations with the Person making such Acquisition Proposal regarding such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 6.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Company, its Subsidiaries and its Representatives may, in any event, contact any third party to (i) seek to clarify and understand the terms and conditions of any inquiry or proposal made by such third party solely to determine whether such inquiry or proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (ii) inform such third party that has made or, to the knowledge of the Company, is considering making an Acquisition Proposal, of the provisions of this Section 6.2.

(c) Neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall:

(i) (A) withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Parent or Acquisition Sub) the recommendation that the holders of Company Shares accept the Offer and tender their Company Shares to Acquisition Sub pursuant to the Offer, (B) recommend or otherwise declare advisable the approval by the Company Stockholders of any Acquisition Proposal, or (C) resolve or agree to take any such actions (each such action set forth in this Section 6.2(c)(i) being referred to herein as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”); or

(ii) cause or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract, except for an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement (each, an “Alternative Acquisition Agreement”) in each case constituting or related to, or that is intended to or would be reasonably expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, or resolve, agree or propose to take any such actions.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board shall be permitted, subject to compliance with this Section 6.2(c), (x) to terminate this Agreement to concurrently enter into a definitive Alternative Acquisition Agreement and/or (y) to effect any Adverse Recommendation Change, if, in each case, the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that failure to take such action

 

- 54 -


would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that the Company may not make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 unless:

(A) the Company notifies Parent in writing at least three (3) Business Days before taking that action of its intention to do so, and, as applicable, which notice, to the extent permitted under the terms of any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, specifies the reasons therefor, including the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, the identity of the party making such Superior Proposal and a copy of the relevant proposed transaction agreements with such party, or in the case of any Adverse Recommendation Change that is not related to a Superior Proposal, a reasonably detailed summary of the basis of such action (it being understood and agreed that any amendment to the material financial terms or any other material term of such Superior Proposal (including any revision in the amount, form or mix of consideration the Company Stockholders would receive as a result of such potential Superior Proposal) or any material change to the facts and circumstances relating to the Adverse Recommendation Change shall require a new written notice by the Company and an additional two (2) Business Day period); and

(B) if Parent makes a proposal during such three (3) Business Day period (or, in the case of a new written notice, such two (2) Business Day period) to adjust the terms and conditions of this Agreement (which shall be in writing in a form that would create a binding contract if accepted by the Company), the Company Board, after taking into consideration the adjusted terms and conditions of this Agreement as proposed by Parent, continues to determine in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor) that such Superior Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal or that the failure to make an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminate this Agreement, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company Stockholders under applicable Law. During the two (2) Business Day period prior to its effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change or terminating this Agreement as referred to above, the Company shall, and shall cause its financial and legal advisors to, negotiate with Parent in good faith (to the extent Parent seeks to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Parent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms (including the payment of the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.4(b), if applicable).

(d) From and after the date hereof, the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within two (2) Business Days of receipt, shall advise Parent in writing in the event the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Representatives receives (i) any inquiry or request for information, discussion or negotiation that is reasonably likely to lead to or that contemplates an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) to the extent permitted by any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, any proposal or offer that is or is reasonably likely to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, in each case together with a description of the material terms and conditions of and facts surrounding any such indication, inquiry, request, proposal or offer, and a copy of any written proposal, offer or draft agreement provided by such Person. The Company shall keep Parent informed (orally and in writing) in all material respects on a reasonably timely basis of the status and details (including, within two (2) Business Days after the occurrence of any amendment) of any such Acquisition Proposal, request, inquiry, proposal or offer, including, to the extent permitted by any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, furnishing copies of any

 

- 55 -


written draft documentation. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from (i) taking and disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position with respect to a tender or exchange offer by a third party pursuant to Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any similar communication to the Company Stockholders), (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (iii) any other communication to the Company Stockholders if (in the case of this clause (iii)) the Company Board has determined in good faith, after consultation with its financial and outside legal advisors, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that any disclosure referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change unless the Company Board expressly reaffirms the Board Recommendation in such disclosure.

(e) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means, other than the Merger or any other proposal or offer from Parent, Acquisition Sub or any of their respective Affiliates, any proposal, offer or inquiry from a Person relating to (A) any acquisition or purchase, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, of (1) twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or (2) Company Securities representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company; (B) any tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated would result in any Person or group acquiring beneficial ownership of twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company; (C) the issuance by the Company of Company Securities representing twenty-five percent (25%) or more of its voting securities; or (D) any merger, consolidation, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange or other transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in which a Person or its stockholders, if consummated, would acquire twenty-five percent (25%) or more of the combined voting power of the Company or the surviving entity or the resulting direct or indirect parent of the Company or such surviving entity.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means any bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisor), taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of the proposal, the Person making the proposal, and such other factors as the Company Board considers to be appropriate, is more favorable to Company Stockholders from a financial point of view than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including any adjustment to the terms and conditions proposed by Parent in response to such proposal); provided that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” references in the term “Acquisition Proposal” to “25%” shall be deemed to be references to “50%.”

(iii) “Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement” means (i) any confidentiality agreement entered into by the Company from and after the date of this Agreement that contains confidentiality provisions that are not materially less favorable in the aggregate to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, except that such confidentiality agreement need not include explicit or implicit standstill provisions that would restrict the making of or amendment or modification to Acquisition Proposals, or (ii) any confidentiality agreement entered into prior to the date of this Agreement, it being understood that the Company, in its sole discretion, shall be entitled to waive or release any preexisting explicit or implicit standstill provisions or similar agreements with any Person or group of Persons.

(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 6.2, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other party or parties hereto in doing, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law or otherwise to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) cause the conditions to the Offer set forth in Section 2.1(a) and Annex A to be satisfied and cause the conditions to the Merger set forth in Article VIII to be satisfied; (ii) obtain all necessary actions or non-actions, waivers, consents, approvals, orders and authorizations from Governmental Authorities and make all necessary registrations, declarations and filings with Governmental Authorities, that are necessary to consummate the Offer and the Merger; and (iii) obtain all necessary or appropriate consents, waivers and approvals under any Material Contracts to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in connection with this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition to the foregoing, neither Parent or Acquisition Sub, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall take any action, or fail to take any action, that is intended to, or has (or would reasonably be expected to have) the effect of, preventing, impairing, delaying or otherwise adversely affecting the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the ability of such party to fully perform its obligations under the Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required prior to the Effective Time to pay any consent or other similar fee, “profit-sharing” or other similar payment or other consideration (including increased rent or other similar payments or any amendments, supplements or other modifications to (or waivers of) the existing terms of any Contract), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty) or otherwise assume or agree to assume any Liability that is not conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger, to obtain any consent, waiver or approval of any Person (including any Governmental Authority) under any Contract.

(b) Parent agrees, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to (i) enter into or consummate any agreements or arrangements for an acquisition (via stock purchase, merger, consolidation, purchase of assets or otherwise) of any ownership interest or assets of any Person if such ownership interest or assets would reasonably be expected to result in any delay in obtaining, or to result in the failure to obtain, any regulatory approvals required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), or (ii) take or agree to take any other action (including entering into agreements with respect to any equity investments, joint ventures, acquisitions, mergers, consolidations or business combinations) which would reasonably be expected to result in any delay in obtaining, or which would reasonably be

 

- 57 -


expected to result in the failure to obtain, any approvals of any Governmental Authority required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including the Merger), or which would otherwise reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the Merger.

Section 7.2. Antitrust Filings.

(a) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall file with the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the DOJ a Notification and Report Form relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby as required by the HSR Act as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement but in no event later than seven (7) Business Days following the date of this Agreement. Each of Parent and the Company shall (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings, (ii) supply the other with any information and documentary material that may be required in order to make such filings, (iii) supply as promptly as reasonably practicable to the FTC or the DOJ any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the FTC or the DOJ and (iv) take any and all action necessary or advisable to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act as soon as practicable and to obtain prompt approval of the consummation of the Offer or the Merger under any Antitrust Laws, including (1) proposing, negotiating, committing to and effecting, by consent decree, hold separate order or otherwise, conduct of business restrictions, a sale or disposition of such assets or businesses as are required to be divested or a license or grant of commercialization rights to businesses, product lines, fields of use, or assets of Parent or its Affiliates (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), (2) amending any venture or other arrangement of Parent or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), (3) cooperating with each other and using their respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any Legal Proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Order that may result from such Legal Proceedings, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (4) otherwise taking or committing to take actions after the Closing with respect to one or more of the businesses, product lines, fields of use, or assets of Parent and its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates), in each case, as may be required in order to enable the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger, to occur as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event no later than the Termination Date) and to otherwise avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any preliminary or permanent injunction which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Merger. Further, and for the avoidance of doubt, Parent will not extend any waiting period under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with the FTC, the Antitrust Division of the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority not to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of the Company.

(b) Each of Parent and Acquisition Sub (and their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall promptly inform the other of any communication from any Governmental Authority regarding any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with any filings or investigations with, by or before any Governmental Authority relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated

 

- 58 -


hereby, including any proceedings initiated by a private party. If any party hereto or an Affiliate thereof shall receive a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to which any such filings have been made, then such party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with the other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, to the extent reasonably practicable and unless prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Authority, the parties hereto agree to (i) give each other reasonable advance notice of all meetings and conference calls with any Governmental Authority relating to the Offer or the Merger, (ii) give each other an opportunity to participate in each of such meetings and conference calls, (iii) keep the other party reasonably apprised with respect to any oral communications with any Governmental Authority regarding the Offer or the Merger, (iv) cooperate in the filing of any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments, opinions or other written communications explaining or defending the Offer and the Merger, articulating any regulatory or competitive argument and/or responding to requests or objections made by any Governmental Authority, (v) provide each other with a reasonable advance opportunity to review and comment upon, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all written communications (including any analyses, presentations, memoranda, briefs, arguments and opinions) with a Governmental Authority regarding the Offer and the Merger, (vi) provide each other (or counsel of each party, as appropriate) with copies of all written communications to or from any Governmental Authority relating to the Offer or the Merger and (vii) cooperate and provide each other with a reasonable opportunity to participate in, and consider in good faith the views of the other with respect to, all material deliberations with respect to all efforts to satisfy the conditions set forth in clauses (A) and (C)(1) of Annex A and Section 8.1(b). Any such disclosures, rights to participate or provisions of information by one party to the other may be made on a counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law or to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company.

(c) Each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall cooperate with one another in good faith to (i) promptly determine whether any filings not contemplated by Section 7.2(a) are required to be or should be made, and whether any other consents, approvals, permits or authorizations not contemplated by Section 7.2(a) are required to be or should be obtained, from any Governmental Authority under any other applicable Law in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) promptly make any filings, furnish information required in connection therewith and seek to obtain timely any such consents, permits, authorizations, approvals or waivers that the parties determine are required to be or should be made or obtained in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.3. Merger. Following the consummation of the Offer, each of Parent, Acquisition Sub and the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to cause the Merger to become effective as soon as practicable after the Acceptance Time, without a meeting of the Company Stockholders, in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement. In furtherance, and without limiting the generality, of the foregoing, neither Parent nor Acquisition Sub nor the Company shall, and shall not permit and shall cause their respective Affiliates or Representatives not to, take any action that could render Section 251(h) of the DGCL inapplicable to the Merger.

 

- 59 -


Section 7.4. Public Statements and Disclosure. None of the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall issue (or shall cause its Affiliates or Representatives to 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 is required by applicable Law or the rules or regulations of NASDAQ, 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 a reasonable opportunity 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 7.4 shall not apply (i) to any release or announcement made or proposed to be made by the Company with respect to the matters addressed in Section 6.2 or (ii) to bring or defend a claim in connection with any dispute between the parties regarding this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 7.5. 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 and Company Board shall grant such approval and take such action as necessary so that such 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; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall require the Company Board to take any action that would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law.

Section 7.6. Access. At all times during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Acceptance Time, the Company shall afford Parent, Acquisition Sub, their officers, a reasonable number of their employees and their 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, contracts, analyses, tax returns, data, regulatory materials, reports, projections, plans, systems, senior management, commitments, offices and other facilities, properties 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, (ii) granting such access would violate any obligations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to confidentiality to any Person or otherwise breach, contravene or violate any then effective Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, (iii) access to such documents or information would give rise to a risk of waiving any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, or (iv) access to a Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound would violate or cause a default under, or give a Person the right terminate or accelerate the rights under, such Contract. 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

 

- 60 -


communicate the applicable information to Parent in a way that would not violate the applicable Law, Contract or obligation or waive such a privilege. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 7.6 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company or 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 Company’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform invasive testing without the Company’s prior written consent, in its sole discretion. 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 7.6. Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any Representatives of any of the foregoing to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information.

Section 7.7. Section 16(b) Exemption. The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and any other dispositions of equity securities of the Company (including “derivative securities” (as defined in Rule 16a-1(c) under the Exchange Act)) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is a director or executive officer of the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(a) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) honor and fulfill in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries under (i) the indemnification agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any of their respective current or former directors and officers and any person who becomes a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time (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 as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) cause the certificates of incorporation and bylaws (and other similar organizational documents) of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Acceptance Time to contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation and the advancement of expenses that are no less favorable than 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 (6) year period, such provisions shall not be repealed, amended or otherwise modified in any manner except as required by applicable Law or as provided below.

Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, Liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to the extent such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry arises directly or indirectly out of or pertains directly or indirectly to (i) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Person’s capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates (regardless of whether such action or omission, or alleged action or omission, occurred prior to or at the Effective Time), or (ii) any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, during the period commencing at the Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time to) advance, prior to the final disposition of any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought under this Agreement, promptly following request by an Indemnified Person therefor, all costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and investigation expenses) incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Person to repay such advances if it is ultimately decided in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to indemnification hereunder. If, at any time prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, any Indemnified Person delivers to Parent a written notice asserting in good faith a claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 7.8(b), then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. In the event of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (i) the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to control the defense thereof after the Acceptance Time, (ii) each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to retain his or her own counsel, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, (iii) the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by an Indemnified Person, promptly after statements therefor are received, whether or not the Surviving Corporation shall elect to control the defense of any such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry, and (iv) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any settlement effected without his or her prior express written consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 7.8(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Surviving Corporation nor any of its Affiliates (including Parent) shall settle or otherwise compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry for which indemnification may be sought by an Indemnified Person under this Agreement unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of all Indemnified Persons from all liability arising out of such claim, proceeding, investigation or inquiry.

(c) 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 directors’ and officers’ liability insurance

 

- 62 -


in respect of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, covering each person covered by the Company’s currently in force directors’ and officers’ (provided that Parent may substitute therefor policies with reputable and financially sound carriers of at least the same coverage and amounts containing term and conditions which are no less advantageous) liability insurance (“Current Company D&O Insurance”), on terms with respect to the coverage and amounts that are no less favorable than those of the Current Company D&O Insurance; provided, however, that in satisfying its obligations under this Section 7.8(c), Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall not be obligated to pay annual premiums in excess of three hundred percent (300%) of the annual amount paid by the Company for coverage during its current coverage period (such three hundred percent (300%) amount, the “Maximum Annual Premium”); provided 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 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 (6) year “tail” prepaid policy on the Current Company 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 7.8(c) for so long as such “tail” policy shall be maintained in full force and effect.

(d) In the event that Parent or the Surviving Corporation (or any of its successors or assigns) (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall assume all of the obligations thereof set forth in this Section 7.8.

Section 7.9. Employee Matters.

(a) Parent hereby acknowledges that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of the Plans, as applicable, will occur as of the Acceptance Time, as applicable. Parent shall or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to assume, honor, and/or provide all of the Company’s severance and change in control obligations in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement.

(b) Except to the extent prohibited by applicable Laws, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall (and Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to) provide to each Continuing Employee (i) a base salary or wage rate, as applicable, and annual cash bonus opportunity that is not less favorable than the base salary or wage rate (as applicable) and annual bonus opportunity provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) other compensation and benefits (as described in Section 4.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter (including severance, benefits and the cash value of any equity based compensation) but excluding (y) any equity-based compensation (other than the cash value of any equity-based compensation) and (z) benefits provided pursuant to any defined benefit pension plans) that are, taken as a whole, at least as favorable in the aggregate to the other compensation and benefits described in Section 4.11 of the Company Disclosure Letter provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

- 63 -


(c) From and after the Closing, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries to provide, each Continuing Employee with full credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Effective Time for all purposes, including eligibility to participate, vesting and entitlement to benefits where length of service is relevant, under any employee benefit plans, arrangements, collective agreements and employment-related entitlements (including under any applicable pension, 401(k), savings, medical, dental, life insurance, vacation, long-service leave or other leave entitlements, post-retirement health and life insurance, termination indemnity, severance or separation pay plans) provided, sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries to the same extent recognized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Plans; provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits, it was not recognized under the corresponding Plan or to the extent it is prohibited by applicable Law. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall (or shall cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to) ensure that (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all employee benefit plans sponsored by Parent, the Surviving Corporation and their Subsidiaries in which the Continuing Employees participate to the extent coverage under any such plan replaces coverage under a comparable Plan in which such Continuing Employee participates immediately before the Effective Time; and (ii) for purposes of each plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical, vision and/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 plan will be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents, and full credit will be given for any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during any unfinished portion of the plan year ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding new plan begins 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) the accounts of such Continuing Employees under any new plan that is a flexible spending plan are credited with any unused balance in the account of such Continuing Employee under the applicable plan; provided, however, that such service need not be credited to the extent that it would result in duplication of coverage or benefits or to the extent it is prohibited by applicable Law.

(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 or the Surviving Corporation to terminate, any Continuing Employee for any reason, or (ii) require Parent or the Surviving Corporation to continue any Plan or prevent the amendment, modification or termination thereof after the Effective Time. The provisions of this Section 7.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Continuing Employee (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and no provision of this Section 7.9 shall create such rights in any such persons. With respect to matters described in this Section 7.9, the Company will not send any written notices or other written communication materials to Continuing Employees without the prior written consent of Parent. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be or construed or interpreted as an amendment to any existing Plan.

Section 7.10. Obligations of Acquisition Sub.

Section 7.11. Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) At all times during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and the Acceptance Time, the Company shall give prompt notice to Parent and Acquisition Sub upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of the Company to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby set forth in paragraphs (C)(2) and (C)(3) of Annex A to fail to be satisfied at the then scheduled expiration of the Offer; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to Parent pursuant to this Section 7.11(a).

(b) 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 IX and the Effective Time, Parent shall give prompt notice to the Company upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by Parent or Acquisition Sub in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, or of any failure of Parent or Acquisition Sub to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in any such case if and only to the extent that such untruth or inaccuracy, or such failure, would reasonably be expected to prevent, materially delay or materially impair the ability of Parent and Acquisition Sub to consummate the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including the Offer and the Merger) or the ability of Parent and Acquisition Sub to fully perform their respective covenants and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Acquisition Sub set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties hereunder; and provided further, that the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall apply to any information provided to the Company pursuant to this Section 7.11(b).

 

- 65 -


Section 7.12. Certain Litigation. The Company shall promptly advise Parent of any litigation commenced after the date hereof against the Company or any of its directors or executive officers (in their capacity as such) by any Company Stockholders (on their own behalf or on behalf of the Company) relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall keep Parent reasonably informed regarding any such litigation. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to consult with the Company regarding the defense or settlement of any such stockholder litigation and no such settlement in excess of $100,000 shall be agreed to without Parent’s prior consent (which shall be not unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.13. Rule 14d-10(d) Exemption. Prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company (acting through the compensation committee of the Company Board) shall take all such steps as may be required to cause each agreement, arrangement or understanding entered into by the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company on or after the date hereof with any of its officers, directors or employees pursuant to which consideration is paid to such officer, director or employee to be approved as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act and to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d) under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.14. De-Listing. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Parent to cause the Company Shares to be de-listed from NASDAQ and de-registered under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following the Effective Time.

Section 7.15. Financing. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, at the sole expense of Parent, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such cooperation as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the financing of the transaction as contemplated by the Agreement.

Section 7.16. Debt Financing Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company agrees that none of the Financing Sources, nor any of their respective Affiliates, will have any liability to the Company or any of its Affiliates, relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Debt Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity in contract, in tort or otherwise; provided, however, nothing in this Section 7.16 shall in any way limit the liability of Parent or Acquisition Sub in connection with this Agreement.

Section 7.17. Amendment to Rights Agreement. The Company Board will take all action so that the execution, delivery, announcement or performance of this Agreement, the making or the consummation of the Offer and the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby will not cause any change, effect or result under the Rights Agreement which is adverse to the interests of Parent.

In addition to the foregoing, no termination of this Agreement shall affect the obligations of the parties hereto set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.

(e) Consequence of Non-Payment. The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in Section 9.4(b) are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, Parent would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if the Company fails to promptly pay the amount due pursuant to Section 9.4(b) and, in order to obtain such payment, Parent commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Company for the Termination Fee, the Company shall pay to Parent its costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime lending rate prevailing during the period as published in The Wall Street Journal.

forth herein, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party or parties hereto, as applicable, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party or parties hereto contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party or parties hereto contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a party or parties hereto to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party or parties, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Section 7.16, Section 9.5, this Section 9.6, Section 10.3, Section 10.6, Section 10.8, and Section 10.9, may not be waived in any manner, whether by course of conduct or otherwise in a way that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to the Financing Sources, except by an instrument in writing signed by the Agent (as such term is defined in the applicable Debt Financing Documents) (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 10.6. Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is not intended to, and shall not, confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder, except (a) as set forth in or contemplated by the terms and provisions of Article VII, (b) prior to the Effective Time, for the right of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities to pursue and recover damages (including damages based on loss of the economic and bargain benefits of the transaction to Company Stockholders based on the consideration that would have otherwise been payable to holders of shares of the Company Common Stock, the loss of market value or decline in stock price of such Company Common Stock or otherwise (taking into consideration relevant matters, including other combination opportunities and the time value of money)) and other relief (including equitable relief) for any breach of this Agreement by Parent or Acquisition Sub, whether or not this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to Article IX, which right is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed by Parent and Acquisition Sub, (c) from and after the Acceptance Time, the rights of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities to receive the consideration pursuant to the Offer, as set forth in Article II, and (d) from and after the Effective Time, the rights of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities to receive the consideration pursuant to the Merger, as set forth in Article III. The rights granted pursuant to clause (b) of this Section 10.6 shall only be enforceable on behalf of holders of shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, as agent for such holders, it being understood and agreed that any and all interests in such claims shall attach to such shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities and subsequently transfer therewith and, consequently, any damages, settlements or other amounts recovered or received by the Company with respect to such claims (net of expenses incurred by the Company in connection therewith) may, in the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, be (A) distributed, in whole or in part, by the Company to the holders of Company Shares or other Company Securities of record as of any date determined by the Company or (B) retained by the Company for the use and benefit of the Company on behalf of the holders of shares of the Company Common Stock and other Company Securities in any manner the Company deems fit.

Section 10.7. 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 negotiate in good faith in an effort to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the maximum extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

Section 10.8. Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise provided herein (including in Section 9.4), any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The parties hereto hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damages. Accordingly, the parties hereto acknowledge and hereby agree that in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, or Parent and/or Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, of any of their respective covenants or obligations set forth in this Agreement, the Company, on the one hand, and Parent and Acquisition Sub, on the other hand, shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement, by the other (as applicable), 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 the other under this Agreement. 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.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement and their respective Affiliates agrees that it will not directly or indirectly assist or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim, or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against any Financing Source in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any Debt Financing Dispute, in any forum other than the state or federal courts located in the Borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, New York. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 10.9, in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.2. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

(b) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY A JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE MERGER AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DEBT FINANCING DISPUTE.
