THE MERGER

2.1 Transactions Occurring on the Closing Date.

(a) Closing Date. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) will take place by exchange of electronic deliveries and signatures, unless otherwise agreed by Parent and the Company, on the third Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6 (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions); provided that if such Business Day would otherwise occur anytime during (i) the final 10 Business Days of a fiscal quarter of Parent or (ii) the final month of a fiscal year of Parent (other than the first day of such month), then Parent may, in its sole discretion, delay the Closing until, in the case of clause (i), the first Business Day in the next fiscal quarter of Parent or, in the case of clause (ii), the first Business Day in the next fiscal year of Parent, subject to the continued satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6.

(b) The Merger.

(i) On the Closing Date, the Company will cause a duly executed certificate of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 (the “First Certificate”) to be filed with Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL, which will become effective as of such filing or as otherwise set forth in the First Certificate (such time, the “Effective Time”), and upon the Effective Time, Merger Sub I will be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub I will cease and the Company will become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent.

(ii) On the Closing Date and immediately following the Effective Time, the Company and Merger Sub II will cause a duly executed certificate of merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 (the “Second Certificate”) to be filed with Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the DGCL and the DLCCA, which will become effective as of such filing or as otherwise set forth in the Second Certificate (such time, the “Second Effective Time”), and upon the Second Effective Time the Company will merge with and into Merger Sub II, the separate corporate existence of the Company will cease, and Merger Sub II will continue as the surviving entity of the Merger (the “Surviving Company”).

(iii) The parties hereto intend that the First Merger and the Second Merger be treated as integrated steps in the Transactions, consistent with Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, and qualify as a single “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code and Treasury Regulations thereunder, and hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3 and Section 354(a)(1) of the Code. Notwithstanding this Section 2.1 and any other provision of this Agreement, no party hereto makes any representation or warranty to another party with respect to the Tax consequences of the Merger.

 

18


(iv) Each party hereto will make all other necessary filings and/or recordings to consummate the Merger in accordance with the DCGL and DLCCA.

2.2 Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth herein and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the DLLCA:

(a) At the Effective Time, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Parent and the Company: (i) the certificate of incorporation of the Company will be amended to be identical to the certificate of incorporation of Merger Sub I as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (except for the name of the Company), (ii) each issued and outstanding share of Company Capital Stock (each, a “Company Share”) will cease to exist and (iii) each issued and outstanding share of capital stock of Merger Sub I will become one share of Company common stock.

(b) At the Second Effective Time, unless otherwise agreed in writing by Parent and the Company: (i) the certificate of formation and the limited liability company agreement of Merger Sub II as in effect immediately prior to the Second Effective Time (except for the name of the Company), will be the certificate of formation and the limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Company, (ii) each share of Company Capital Stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will cease to exist and will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and (iii) each membership interest of Merger Sub II that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Effective Time will constitute one membership interest of the Surviving Company.

2.3 Treatment of Company Shares and Warrants. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without further action by any party:

(a) Company Capital Stock. Each issued and outstanding share of Company Capital Stock that is not a Treasury Share or a Dissenting Share will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest subject to and in accordance with Section 2.5:

(i) (A) the number of Parent Shares determined by dividing (x) the Per Share Closing Share Consideration by (y) the Parent Stock Price and (B) subject to Section 2.6, cash equal to the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration; and

(ii) to the extent the Escrow Fund or any portion thereof becomes payable and issuable to Equityholders pursuant to Section 8.1(b), an amount equal to the Per Share Escrow Consideration.

(b) Unvested Company Shares. The payment of cash and issuance of Parent Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3 in exchange for Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements that were applicable to such Unvested Company Shares immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (and no vesting acceleration shall occur by reason of the Merger or any subsequent event, such as termination of employment, except as may be specifically set forth in any applicable restricted stock purchase agreements). Therefore, cash otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.3 in exchange for the Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Unvested Cash”) shall not automatically be payable by Parent at the Effective Time, and shall instead become payable by Parent on the date that such Unvested Company Shares would have become vested, and the Parent Shares issuable pursuant to this Section 2.3 in exchange for the Unvested Company Shares (“Unvested Parent Shares”)

 

19


shall vest under the vesting schedule in place for such shares immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and Parent’s policies). The Unvested Cash shall be paid, upon vesting, in the United States Dollars or, for payments made to a Non-U.S. Continuing Employee, the local currency of such Continuing Employee’s permanent residence on the date of payment, which will be converted from United States Dollars according to the Exchange Rate. Parent may in its discretion make all such required payments to holders of Unvested Cash no later than the 15th day of the calendar month immediately following the calendar month in which such Unvested Cash become vested, and in its discretion may make such payments through a paying agent authorized by Parent to administer such payments on Parent’s behalf or through Parent’s (or the Surviving Company’s) payroll system and in accordance with standard payroll practices (including withholding for applicable Taxes). All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.3(b) shall be subject to any required withholding of Taxes and shall be paid without interest. A portion of such newly vested cash so distributed will be treated as imputed interest to the extent required under the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. All outstanding rights to repurchase Unvested Company Shares that the Company may hold or similar restrictions in the Company’s favor immediately prior to the Effective Time (all such rights, “Repurchase Rights”) shall be, as of the Effective Time, assigned to Parent in the Merger and shall thereafter be exercisable by Parent upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that Repurchase Rights may also be exercised by Parent retaining the Unvested Cash and the Unvested Parent Shares into which such Unvested Company Shares have been converted and paying to the former holder thereof the repurchase price in effect for each such share subject to that Repurchase Right immediately prior to the Effective Time. No Unvested Cash or Unvested Parent Shares, or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred (including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Parent, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any Liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Cash or Unvested Parent Shares in accordance with this Agreement.

(c) Warrants. Each Warrant that is vested, unexpired, unexercised and outstanding as of the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished, and no such Warrant shall be substituted with any equivalent option or right to purchase or otherwise acquire any Parent Shares or other equity of Parent. Upon cancellation thereof, each Warrant that has an exercise price less than the Per Share Amount shall be automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 2.5:

(i) (A) a number of Parent Shares equal to the quotient of (x) the product of (a)(1) the Per Share Closing Share Consideration, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time minus (b)(1) the per share exercise price of such Warrant multiplied by (2) the Share Consideration Percentage multiplied by (3) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the Parent Stock Price, plus (B) subject to Section 2.6, cash equal to (x) the product of (a) the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration, multiplied by (b) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time, less (y) the product of (a) the per share exercise price of such Warrant multiplied by (b) the Cash Consideration Percentage multiplied by (c) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time; and

(ii) to the extent the Escrow Fund or any portion thereof becomes payable and issuable to Equityholders pursuant to Section 8.1(b), an amount in cash equal to (x) the Per Share Escrow Consideration multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock that were subject to such Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time.

 

20


(d) Unaccredited Stockholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Parent Shares that, but for this Section 2.3(d) would have become issuable to an Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.3(a)-(c), may, in Parent’s sole determination to be made and communicated to the Company prior to the Closing, be replaced by an amount of cash in lieu of such Parent Shares on the basis described in the following sentence if (i) such holder, at least four Business Days prior to the Closing Date, does not deliver to Parent a duly executed Joinder certifying that such holder is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or, in the case of a non-U.S. Holder located in Australia, a “sophisticated investor” (as such term is defined in section 708(8) the Corporations Act) or a “professional investor” (as such term is defined in section 708(11) of the Corporations Act); or (ii) if Parent otherwise does not have a reasonable belief that such holder is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act) or, in the case of a non-U.S. Holder located in Australia, a “sophisticated investor” (as such term is defined in section 708(8) the Corporations Act) or a “professional investor” (as such term is defined in section 708(11) of the Corporations Act) (such holder, an “Unaccredited Investor”). In such case, the amount of cash delivered in lieu of the Parent Shares shall be determined by multiplying (x) the number of Parent Shares that would have been issued by (y) the Parent Stock Price (the aggregate amount of cash delivered to all such Unaccredited Investors, the “Unaccredited Investor Payment Amount”).

(e) No Fractional Shares. No certificates representing fractional Parent Shares shall be issued hereunder and any fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a holder of Parent Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each recipient of Parent Shares pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a Parent Shares (after taking into account all Parent Shares to be issued to such holder pursuant to the Merger) shall in lieu thereof receive in cash (rounded to the nearest whole cent), without interest, an amount equal to such fractional amount multiplied by the Parent Stock Price.

(f) Dissenting Shares. Each Dissenting Share will convert into the right to receive the consideration finally determined to be due to the holder of such Dissenting Share pursuant to the DGCL. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Company Share that ceases to be a Dissenting Share for any reason after the Effective Time will be entitled only to the Per Share Consideration. The Company will provide to Parent (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments related to such demands served in accordance with the DGCL and received by the Company and (ii) the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under the DGCL. The Company will not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, or as otherwise required under the DGCL, voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any Claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares.

(g) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Shares or Parent Shares occurring after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or the Parent Stock Price therefor) affected thereby, will be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(h) Rights Not Transferable. The rights of each Equityholder under this Agreement as of immediately prior to the Effective Time are personal to such Equityholder and will not be transferable for any reason, other than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of such right (other than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) will be null and void.

 

21


(i) Legends. Any certificates or book-entry entitlements representing the Parent Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement may bear the following legends, to the extent applicable (along with any other legends that may be required under Applicable Law or to give effect to other terms of this Agreement):

“THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A RIGHT OF REPURCHASE AND/OR INDEMNITY AND ESCROW OBLIGATIONS AS SET FORTH IN AN AGREEMENT WITH THE COMPANY.”

2.4 Treatment of Options and Promised Options .

(a) Vested Options.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Vested Option held by a Continuing Employee with a per share exercise price less than the Per Share Amount, subject to any applicable withholding obligations and the delivery of a duly executed non-revocable waiver and consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-1 (a “Continuing Employee Option Waiver”) will:

(1) with respect to the portion of such Vested Option corresponding to the product of (A) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Vested Option multiplied by (B) the Cash Consideration Percentage, rounded down to the nearest whole share (the “Converted Vested Option Shares”), be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive cash equal to (I) the product of (x) the Per Share Amount, multiplied by (y) the number of Converted Vested Option Shares, less (II) the product of (x) the per share exercise price of such Vested Option multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Converted Vested Option Shares, paid in United States Dollars or, for a Non-U.S. Continuing Employee, the local currency of such Continuing Employee’s permanent residence on the date of payment, which will be converted from United States Dollars according to the Exchange Rate; and

(2) with respect to the remaining portion of such Vested Option corresponding to a number of shares of Company Common Stock equal to the difference between the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Vested Options and the Converted Vested Option Shares (such difference, the “Remaining Vested Option Shares”) be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Parent Stock equal to (x) the number of Remaining Vested Option Shares multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share (each, a “Vested Assumed Option”). Each Vested Assumed Option will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting and exercisability) as were applicable under the Vested Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that each Vested Assumed Option will have an exercise price per share equal to (x) the per share exercise price of the Vested Option immediately prior

 

22


to the Effective Time divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Stock subject to the Vested Assumed Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409A and 422 of the Code, as applicable. It is the intent of the parties hereto that to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all Vested Assumed Options that prior to the Effective Time were treated as incentive or non-qualified options under the Code shall from and after the Effective Time continue to be treated as incentive or non-qualified stock options, respectively, under the Code. The board of directors of Parent shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Board or any committee thereof with respect to the Vested Assumed Options.

(ii) At the Effective Time, each Vested Option held by a non-Continuing Employee with a per share exercise price less than the Per Share Amount will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, without interest and subject to any applicable withholding obligations, (A) cash equal to the product of (1) the Per Share Amount, multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Vested Option, less (B) cash equal to the per share exercise price of such Vested Option multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Vested Option; provided that no non-Continuing Employee holder of a Vested Option will be entitled to receive any consideration in respect of such Vested Option until such holder delivers a duly executed non-revocable waiver and consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D-2 (a “Non-Continuing Employee Option Waiver”).

(b) Unvested Options.

(i) At the Effective Time, each Unvested Option held by a Continuing Employee with a per share exercise price less than the Per Share Amount (each such Option, a “Qualifying Option”) will be assumed by Parent and converted into an option to acquire that number of shares of Parent Stock equal to (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Qualifying Option multiplied by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share (each, an “Unvested Assumed Option,” and together with the Vested Assumed Options, the “Assumed Options”). Each Unvested Assumed Option will otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions (including as to vesting) as were applicable under the Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that (i) each Unvested Assumed Option will have an exercise price per share equal to (x) the per share exercise price of the Qualifying Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (y) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent; provided that the exercise price and the number of shares of Parent Stock subject to the Unvested Assumed Option shall be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Sections 409A and 422 of the Code, as applicable and (ii) each Unvested Assumed Option will no longer be early exercisable.

(ii) Each Unvested Option that is not a Qualifying Option will be automatically cancelled and extinguished at the Effective Time, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor. At the Effective Time, each Unvested Option held by a non-Continuing Employee will automatically cancelled and extinguished and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.

(c) Promised Options. Each holder of a Promised Option held by a Continuing Employee will be entitled to receive restricted stock units that will settle into the number of shares of Parent Stock (“Parent RSUs”) equal to (i) the Spread Value of the Promised Option divided by (ii) the Parent Stock Price, rounded down to the nearest whole share, which shall be subject to the vesting terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 3.4(e) of the Disclosure Schedule and will be issued in accordance with the Parent’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Parent Option Plan”), except that each Parent RSU will vest over four years, with 1/4 of the Parent RSU vesting on the first anniversary of the existing vesting commencement date underlying the Promised Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and the remainder vesting thereafter in equal installments on each quarterly anniversary of the existing vesting

 

23


commencement date, subject to continued employment with Parent on each such vesting date; provided that the vesting commencement date will be the closest of the following dates to the Continuing Employee’s existing vesting commencement date: February 28, May 28, August 28, or November 28; provided, further, that no holder of a Promised Option will be entitled to receive any consideration in respect of such Promised Option until such holder delivers a duly executed non-revocable waiver and consent in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (a “Promised Option Waiver”).

2.5 Payment and Exchange Procedures.

(a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall:

(i) to the extent not previously delivered, cause a letter of transmittal in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (a “Letter of Transmittal”) to be delivered to each Stockholder; and

(ii) cause to be deposited with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. or other bank or trust company as Parent may choose in its discretion (the “Exchange Agent”) the amount of cash and shares of Parent Stock payable and issuable to the Equityholders pursuant to Section 2.3 (the “Equityholder Consideration”), less (x) the Escrow Amount and (y) any portion of the Equityholder Consideration subject to a Holdback Agreement.

(b) After the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Exchange Agent to pay and/or issue the portion of the Equityholder Consideration payable or issuable to each Stockholder on the Closing Date who submits a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any other documentation required thereby and each Warrantholder who submits a properly completed Warrant Surrender Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (a “Warrant Surrender Agreement”) and any other documentation required thereby.

(c) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, Parent shall pay or cause the Surviving Company to pay the aggregate amount of cash payable to the Optionholders pursuant to Section 2.4, (i) for employee Optionholders (both current and former), through its payroll system in accordance with standard payroll practices, and subject to any required withholding for applicable Taxes, and (ii) for Persons who are neither current nor former employees, through its accounts payable system.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5, no party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Applicable Law.

(e) Any portion of Equityholder Consideration held by the Exchange Agent that has not been delivered to any holders of Certificates pursuant to this Article 2 within one year after the Effective Time shall promptly be delivered to the Surviving Company, and thereafter Equityholder who has not theretofore complied with the exchange procedures set forth in and contemplated by this Agreement shall look only to the Surviving Company (subject to abandoned property, escheat and similar laws) for its claim to any portion of the Equityholder Consideration, only as a general unsecured creditor thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any portion of the Equityholder Consideration would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, such portion shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interests of any Person previously entitled thereto.

 

24


2.6 Escrow; Agent Expense Fund.

(a) Escrow Agent. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent will deliver the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Agent, to be held and distributed in accordance with the terms of Article 8 and the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Agent Expense Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Parent will withhold the Agent Expense Fund from the cash portion of the Per Share Closing Cash Consideration otherwise payable to the Equityholders pursuant to Section 2.3, and shall wire the Agent Expense Fund to the Agent promptly after the Effective Time. The Agent will hold and administer the Agent Expense Fund in accordance with this Agreement and the Engagement Agreement.

2.7 Working Capital Amount Adjustment.

(a) Within 90 days after the Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Agent a notice (the “Parent NWC Notice”) setting forth Parent’s calculation of the Working Capital Amount and, if different, the amount by which the Working Capital Adjustment as calculated by Parent is more or less than the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (the “NWC Calculations”), in each case together with supporting documentation, information and calculations.

(b) Following the delivery of the Parent NWC Notice, subject to confidentiality restrictions, Parent shall provide the Agent and its representatives reasonable access at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice and in a manner so as not to unreasonably interfere with Parent’s business to the records, properties, personnel and (subject to the execution of customary work paper access letters if requested) auditors relating to the preparation of the Parent NWC Notice and shall cause its personnel to reasonably cooperate with the Agent in connection with its review of the Parent NWC Notice. The Agent may object to the calculation of the Working Capital Adjustment set forth in the Parent NWC Notice by providing written notice of such objection to Parent within 30 days after Parent’s delivery of the Parent NWC Notice (the “Notice of Objection”), together with supporting documentation, information and calculations. Any matters not expressly set forth in the Notice of Objection shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Agent on behalf of the Equityholders.

(c) If the Agent timely provides the Notice of Objection, then Parent and the Agent shall confer in good faith for a period of up to 10 Business Days following Parent’s timely receipt of the Notice of Objection in an attempt to resolve any disputed matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Equityholders.

(d) If, after the 10 Business Day period set forth in Section 2.7(c), Parent and the Agent cannot resolve any matter set forth in the Notice of Objection, then Parent and the Agent shall engage a nationally recognized auditing firm acceptable to both Parent and the Agent (the “Reviewing Accountant”) to review only the matters in the Notice of Objection that are still disputed by Parent and the Agent and the NWC Calculations to the extent relevant thereto. After such review and a review of the Company’s relevant books and records, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly (and in any event within 60 days following its engagement) determine the resolution of such remaining disputed matters, which determination shall be final and binding on the parties hereto and the Equityholders, and the Reviewing Accountant shall provide Parent and the Agent with a calculation of the Working Capital Amount and the Working Capital Adjustment in accordance with such determination.

 

25


(e) If the Working Capital Adjustment as finally determined pursuant to Section 2.7(b), Section 2.7(c) and/or Section 2.7(d), as the case may be (the “Final Working Capital Adjustment”) is less than the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (such difference, the “Final Working Capital Shortfall”), then the Equityholders shall severally but not jointly indemnify and hold harmless Parent without any dispute by the Agent, for the full amount of the Final Working Capital Shortfall; provided that recovery from the Escrow Fund will (x) be the first source of monetary claims for all claims and (y) constitute the sole and exclusive source of monetary recovery with respect to the Final Working Capital Shortfall.

(f) If the Final Working Capital Adjustment is greater than the Closing Working Capital Adjustment (such difference, the “Final Working Capital Surplus”), then Parent will deposit with the Exchange Agent an amount equal to, and cause the Exchange Agent to distribute, such Final Working Capital Surplus to the Equityholders in accordance with each Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share.

(g) The fees, costs and expenses of the Reviewing Accountant shall be paid (i) by Parent in the event the difference between the Final Working Capital Adjustment as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 2.7(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Parent NWC Notice (such difference, the “Parents Difference”) is greater than the difference between the Final Working Capital Adjustment as determined by the Reviewing Accountant pursuant to Section 2.7(e) and the NWC Calculations set forth in the Notice of Objection (such difference, the “Agents Difference”), (ii) by the Equityholders if the Parent’s Difference is less than the Agent’s Difference or (iii) equally by Parent on the one hand, and the Equityholders on the other hand, if the Parent’s Difference is the same as the Agent’s Difference.

2.8 Tax Consequences. The parties intend for this Agreement to be an adoption of a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 354(a)(1) of the Code, and to cause the Merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Provided that the representations and warranties provided in Section3.12(ee) are true, correct and complete, each of the parties will file all Tax Returns consistent with such intentions, unless otherwise required by a Taxing authority following a Tax Proceeding in which reorganization treatment was defended diligently and in good faith; provided that (x) no party hereto makes any representations or warranties to any other Person or to any Stockholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Merger or any of the Transactions or Transaction Documents and (y) each of the Company and each Equityholder will rely solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, each Transaction Document and the Transactions.

2.9 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) arising from the transfers or deemed transfers of stock or assets that occur by virtue of the Merger (collectively, the “Transfer Taxes”) will be borne fifty percent (50%) by Parent and fifty percent (50%) by the Equityholders. Parent will remit all Transfer Taxes when due, and will, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes.

2.10 Withholding Rights. Each Parent Entity and their designees are entitled to deduct and withhold from any payments of cash or issuances of Parent Stock pursuant to this Agreement to any Key Employee, any Continuing Employee or any holder of any Company Shares, Options, Promised Options or Warrants, such amounts in cash and/or Parent Shares as any Parent Entity is required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such payments or issuances under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax law. If a Parent Entity becomes aware of any requirement that a Parent Entity withhold from any payments of cash or issuance of Parent Stock pursuant to this Agreement, such Parent Entity will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify the recipient thereof of such requirement and to provide a reasonable opportunity for such recipient to reduce or eliminate such requirement; provided, however, that any failure to so notify a payee shall not affect the rights of each Parent Entity and its designees to withhold such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld by applicable Tax law in accordance with this Section 2.10.

Each Company Employee Plan can be amended, terminated, or otherwise discontinued after the Effective Time in accordance with its terms, without Liability to Parent (other than ordinary and reasonable administrative expenses typically incurred in a termination event).

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Acquired Companies or any ERISA Affiliate is a party to, or has made any contribution to or otherwise incurred any obligation under, or has any Liability (actual or contingent) with respect to, any “multiemployer plan” as such term is defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA, any “multiple employer welfare arrangement” as such term is defined in Section 3(40) of ERISA or any “multiple employer plan” as such term is defined in Section 413(c) of the Code. Except as set forth in Schedule 3.13(f) of the Disclosure Schedule, no Company Employee Plan is maintained through a human resources and benefits outsourcing entity or professional employer organization.

(b) The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the Written Consent and a Joinder from each Stockholder prior to the Closing Date. On or prior to the tenth Business Day following the Agreement Date, the Company will deliver an information statement (the “Information Statement”) to each Stockholder who has not executed the Written Consent and a Joinder containing (i) the notice contemplated by Section 228(e) of the DGCL of the taking of a corporate action without a meeting by less than a unanimous written consent, (ii) the notice contemplated by Section 262(d)(2) of the DGCL, together with a copy of Section 262 of the DGCL and (iii) an information statement to the Stockholders in connection with the solicitation of their signatures to a Written Consent and a Joinder. The Company will provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review the Information Statement and will consider its comments in good faith.

(c) The Company will timely provide to holders of Company Shares, Options and Warrants all advance notices required to be given to such holders in connection with this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions pursuant to the Charter, Bylaws and any applicable Contract.

(d) As promptly as practicable after the Agreement Date, and in any event within 10 Business Days, Parent and the Company shall execute and file, or join in the execution and filing of, any application, notification (including the provision of any required information in connection therewith) or other document that may be required under the HSR Act or any other foreign Applicable Law designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade (collectively, the “Antitrust Laws”) in order to obtain the authorization, approval or consent of any Governmental Body, or expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under such Antitrust Laws, that may be reasonably required, or that Parent may reasonably request to be made, in connection with the consummation of the Mergers and the other Transactions. Parent and the Company shall each use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain, and to cooperate with each other to obtain promptly, all such authorizations, approvals, consents, expirations and terminations, and Parent shall pay any filing fees associated therewith.

(e) Each of Parent and the Company shall promptly inform the other of any material communication between such party and any Governmental Body regarding any of the Transactions. Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, Parent shall have the right (i) to direct all matters with any Governmental Body relating to the Transactions and (ii) to review in advance, and direct the revision of, any filing, application, notification or other document to be submitted by the Company to any Governmental Body under any Antitrust Law; provided that, to the extent practicable, Parent and the Company shall consult and cooperate with each other and consider in good faith the views of one another with respect to the information that appears in any such filing, application, notification or other document. If Parent or any Affiliate of Parent receives any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Body with respect to any of the Transactions, then Parent shall make or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable, a response in compliance with such request. If the Company or any Affiliate of the Company receives any formal or informal request for supplemental information or documentary material from any Governmental Body with respect to any of the Transactions, then the Company shall make or cause to be made, a response in compliance with such request. Both Parent and the Company shall be represented at all in-person meetings (including such

 

65


meetings conducted virtually) and substantive conversations with any Governmental Body to the extent permitted by such Governmental Body regarding the Transactions, provided (A) Parent shall lead the discussions at such meeting or (B) proffer, make proposals, negotiate, execute, carry out or submit to any agreements or Orders providing for any actions that would constitute an Antitrust Restraint. The Company shall, if directed by Parent, agree to any such action that is conditioned on the consummation of the First Merger. Each of Parent and the Company may, as they deem necessary, designate any sensitive materials to be exchanged in connection with this Section 5.4(e) as “outside-counsel only.” Any such materials, as well as the information contained therein, shall be provided only to a receiving party’s outside counsel (and mutually-acknowledged outside consultants) and not disclosed by such counsel (or consultants) to any employees, officers, or directors of the receiving party without the advance written consent of the party supplying such materials or information.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any of the Transactions as violative of any federal, state or foreign statutes, rules, regulations or Orders that are designed to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade, it is expressly understood and agreed that (i) Parent shall not have any obligation to litigate or contest any Actions and (ii) Parent shall be under no obligation to make proposals, execute or carry out agreements or submit to Orders providing for (A) the sale, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Parent or any of its Affiliates or the Company or the Subsidiaries, (B) the imposition of any limitation or regulation on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to freely conduct their business or own such assets or (C) the holding separate of the shares of Company Capital Stock or any limitation or regulation on the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates to exercise full rights of ownership of the shares of Company Capital Stock (any of the foregoing, an “Antitrust Restraint”). Nothing in this Section 5.4 shall limit the right of a party hereto to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(b) if such party has, until such date, complied in all material respects with its obligations under this Section 5.4.

5.5 Corporate Matters. Prior to the Closing, the Company will (a) pay all corporate franchise, foreign corporation and similar Taxes (including all such Taxes that have accrued but are not yet due and payable) and (b) use commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions that are reasonably requested by Parent to appoint, effective at the Effective Time, new officers and directors of the Acquired Companies.

5.6 Notice of Changes.

(a) The Company will promptly advise Parent in writing of (i) any event occurring subsequent to the Agreement Date that would render any representation or warranty of the Company contained in Article 3 untrue or inaccurate such that the condition set forth in Section 6.1(b) would not be satisfied, (ii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any Transaction Document such that the condition set forth in Section 6.1(c) would not be satisfied, (iii) any Company Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any notification from a third party or Governmental Body that such Person’s consent is required in connection with the Transactions, or (v) any change, event, circumstance, condition or effect that could reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.1(e) not to be satisfied. No information or knowledge obtained by Parent during the Pre-Closing Period pursuant to this Section 5.6 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, condition or obligation under this Agreement.

66


Parent Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any notification from a third party or Governmental Body that such Person’s consent is required in connection with the Transactions, or (v) any change, event, circumstance, condition or effect that could reasonably be expected to cause the condition set forth in Section 6.2(f) not to be satisfied. No information or knowledge obtained by the Company during the Pre-Closing Period pursuant to this Section 5.6 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, condition or obligation under this Agreement.

5.7 Litigation. The Company will (a) notify Parent in writing promptly after learning of any Action initiated by or against it, or known by the Company to be threatened against any Acquired Company, or any of their respective directors, officers or employees or the Stockholders in their capacity as such (a “New Litigation Claim”), (b) notify Parent of ongoing material developments in any New Litigation Claim or existing litigation claim and (c) consult in good faith with Parent regarding the conduct of the defense of any New Litigation Claim and existing litigation claim, if and to the extent that the Company otherwise has control of the conduct of such defense.

5.8 Access to Information. The Company will allow Parent and its Representatives access (at the sole cost and expense of Parent) with advance notice, at reasonable times, in compliance with Applicable Law, and without material interference with the normal operations of the Acquired Companies or the conduct of the Business, to the files, books, records, technology, Contracts, personnel and offices of each Acquired Company, including any and all information relating to each Acquired Company’s Taxes, Contracts, Liabilities, financial condition and real, personal and intangible property, subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. No information or knowledge obtained by Parent during the Pre-Closing Period in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.8 will affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, condition or obligation under this Agreement. No Acquired Company shall be required to provide access to any information to Parent or its Representatives that would jeopardize any legal privilege, which determination shall be made in the sole discretion of the Company in consultation with its legal counsel; provided that the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to provide such information through alternative means or in a manner that would preserve such privilege.

5.9 Employees.

(a) Prior to the Closing, Parent will make offers to certain employees of the Acquired Companies, with such offers to be subject to and contingent upon the Closing, on terms substantially commensurate with similarly situated newly hired employees of Parent and permitting such U.S. employees to, at Parent’s discretion, (i) continue on the Company’s benefit plans and/or (ii) participate in Parent’s benefit plans with credit for prior service to the extent permitted by the applicable Parent benefit plans, Applicable Law and subject to the approval of any third-party administrator; provided that, for clarity, (A) at a minimum, Parent must provide such U.S. employees the benefits under either (i) or (ii) and (B) in the case of clause (ii), such employees of the Acquired Companies who receive offers from Parent may not participate in, unless otherwise specified in the offer letter for such employee, Parent’s U.S. and non-U.S. equity compensation plans, U.S. and non-U.S. incentive compensation plans, executive compensation plans, executive compensation arrangements, other pension plans (whether or not tax-qualified) and its non-U.S. benefit program. Immediately following the Closing, Australian employees are expected to continue to participate in the Acquired Companies’ existing Australian private health insurance. Until the one-year anniversary of the Effective Time or, if earlier, the date of termination of the relevant Continuing Employee, Parent shall provide, or shall cause the Surviving Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to provide, for each Continuing Employees, with a base salary or hourly wage rate (as applicable) that is no less favorable to those provided to such Continuing Employee as of immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (excluding any transaction or retention bonuses, severance, deferred compensation and equity-based compensation granted to such Continuing Employee prior to the Closing). Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will assist Parent with its efforts to enter into an offer letter and a confidential

 

67


information and assignment agreement with such employee who received an offer from Parent. The Company will consult with Parent (and will consider in good faith the advice of Parent) prior to sending any notices or other communication materials to its employees. Effective no later than immediately prior to the Closing (or at such other time designated by Parent), the Company will terminate the employment of each of those Acquired Company employees who have not accepted an offer of continued employment or executed an acknowledgment of continued employment with a Parent Entity or the Surviving Company prior to the Closing Date (the “Designated Employees”), the employees who are set forth on Schedule 5.9(a) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Specified Employees”) or who did not receive an offer of continued employment with a Parent Entity or the Surviving Company (the “Terminated Employees”), and the Company will require such Designated Employees and Terminated Employees to execute a separation agreement as a condition to the receipt of any severance paid by any Acquired Company.

(b) To the extent permissible under the Parent benefit plans, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Affiliates to, waive limitations on benefits relating to any pre-existing condition of the Continuing Employees and their eligible spouses and dependents.

(c) The Acquired Companies will give all notices and other information required to be given (which notices and information will be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent) to the employees of each Acquired Company, any collective bargaining unit representing any group of employees of any Acquired Company, and any applicable Governmental Body under the WARN Act, the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the Code, COBRA and other Applicable Law in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Effective as of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, the Company will terminate all Company Employee Plans that are “employee benefit plans” within the meaning of ERISA, including any Company Employee Plans intended to include a Section 401(k) arrangement (unless Parent provides written notice to the Company no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date that such 401(k) plans will not be terminated). The Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plan(s) and the Option Plans have been terminated (effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date) pursuant to resolutions of the Board or any applicable committee thereof; provided that the terms of the Options Plans will continue to govern the Assumed Options. The form and substance of such resolutions will be subject to review and approval by Parent. The Company also will take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the Company’s 401(k) Plan would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then the Company will take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent.

(e) Promptly following the execution of the Agreement, the Company will obtain and deliver to Parent an executed parachute payment waiver, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “Parachute Payment Waiver”) from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code). Promptly following the delivery of the Parachute Payment Waivers to Parent (but in no event less than three Business Days prior to the Closing), the Company will submit to the Stockholders for approval (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Parent), by such number of holders of Stockholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, any payments and/or benefits that may separately or in the aggregate, constitute “parachute payments” pursuant to Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G Payments”) (which determination will be made by the Company and will be subject to review and approval by Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such that such payments and benefits will not be deemed to be Section 280G Payments, and prior to the Closing, the Company will deliver to Parent notification and documentation reasonably satisfactory

 

68


to Parent (and which documentation will be subject to Parent’s advanced review and approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) that (i) a vote of the holders of Company Capital Stock was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and the requisite stockholder approval was obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the stockholder vote (the “280G Stockholder Approval”) or (ii) that the 280G Stockholder Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, that such payments and/or benefits will not be made or provided to the extent they would cause any amounts to constitute Section 280G Payments, pursuant to the Parachute Payment Waivers that were executed by the affected individuals prior to the solicitation of the vote of the holders of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 5.9(e).

(f) Following the Closing Date, in accordance with Parent’s standard equity award policies and practices, the Continuing Employees will (subject to their continued employment with Parent or an Affiliate thereof through the grant date) be awarded the number of Parent RSUs set forth on Schedule 5.9(f) of the Disclosure Schedule (the “Employee RSUs”) by the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors, which Employee RSUs will be allocated as determined by Parent in conjunction with the Company’s management. The Employee RSUs will be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Parent Option Plan, in the recipient’s offer letter with Parent and in a restricted stock unit agreement to be entered into between the recipients of such Employee RSUs and Parent.

(g) The Company will cause the delivery to Parent of a true, correct and complete copy of each election statement under Section 83(b) of the Code filed by each Person executing a Holdback Agreement, at or prior to the 30th day following the Closing, in each case together with evidence of timely filing of such election statement with the appropriate IRS Center.

(h) Parent will cause Parent Stock issuable upon exercise of the settlement of the Assumed Options for which a Form S-8 Registration Statement is available to be registered with the SEC on Form S-8 promptly following the Closing Date and in no event later than the next filing of Parent’s first Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K to occur after the Closing, will exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such Assumed Options remain outstanding and will reserve a sufficient number of shares of Parent Stock for issuance upon exercise or settlement thereof. The Form S-8 Registration Statement will not cover the shares of Parent Stock subject to any Assumed Options that are held by Persons who do not become employees of Parent or the Surviving Company at the Effective Time or do not otherwise have a service relationship with Parent or an Affiliate of Parent at the Effective Time.

(i) Nothing contained in this Section 5.9 or elsewhere in this Agreement, express or implied (i) shall cause either Parent or any of its Affiliates to be obligated to continue to employ any Person, including any Continuing Employees, for any period of time following the Effective Time, (ii) shall prevent Parent or its Affiliates from revising, amending or terminating any Parent Equity Plans, Parent employee plans, Company Employee Plan or any other employee benefit plan, program or policy in effect from time to time, (iii) shall be construed as an amendment of any Company Employee Plan, Parent Equity Plan, or Parent employee plan, or (iv) shall create any third-party beneficiary rights in any director, officer, employee or Person, including any present or former employee, officer, director or individual independent contractor of Parent or Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent of such individual).

5.10 Financial Certificate and Spreadsheet. The Company will prepare and deliver to Parent a draft of each of the Financial Certificate and the Spreadsheet not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date and a final version of the Financial Certificate and the Spreadsheet to Parent not later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The Company will provide to Parent, together with the Closing Financial Certificate and the Spreadsheet, such supporting documentation, information and calculations as are reasonably necessary for Parent to verify and determine the calculations, amounts and other matters set forth in the Closing Financial Certificate and the Spreadsheet.

 

69


5.11 Necessary Consents. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly obtain such written consents and authorizations of third parties, give notices to third parties and take such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to effect the consummation of the Merger and the other Transactions, to enable the Surviving Company (or Parent) to carry on the Business immediately after the Second Effective Time and to keep in effect and avoid the breach, violation of, termination of, or adverse change to any Contract to which the Company is a party or is bound or by which any of its assets is bound. The Company will (a) consult with Parent before seeking such consents and providing such notices, (b) provide Parent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in advance on the forms of such consent requests and notices and (c) incorporate Parent’s reasonable comments in such consent requests and notices.

5.12 Director and Officer Indemnification.

(a) If the Merger is consummated, then until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent will cause the Surviving Company to fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company to its present and former directors and officers determined as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) pursuant to indemnification agreements with the Company in effect on the Agreement Date and set forth on Schedule 5.12 of the Disclosure Schedule, the Charter or the Bylaws, in each case, in effect on the Agreement Date (the “Company Indemnification Provisions”), with respect to Claims arising out of acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time that are asserted after the Effective Time; provided that Parent’s and the Surviving Company’s obligations under this Section 5.12(a) will not apply to (i) any Claim or matter that relates to a willful or intentional breach of a representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation made by or of the Company in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions or (ii) any Claim based on a Claim for indemnification made by an Indemnified Person pursuant to Article 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Company Indemnification Provisions, no Company Indemnified Party will be entitled to coverage under any Parent director and officer insurance policy or errors and omission policy unless such Company Indemnified Party is separately eligible for coverage under such policy pursuant to Parent’s policies and procedures and the terms of such insurance policy.

(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will purchase a prepaid tail insurance coverage (the “D&O Tail”) for the Company Indemnified Parties in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent, which will provide the Company Indemnified Parties with coverage for six years following the Closing Date in an amount not less than the existing coverage and that will have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured individual than the directors’ and officers’ Liability insurance coverage maintained by the Company as of the Agreement Date. Parent will cause the Surviving Company to maintain the D&O Tail in full force and effect and continue to honor the obligations thereunder until the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date.

5.13 Tax Matters.

(a) Each of Parent, the Agent, the Equityholders and the Acquired Companies will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by any of the others, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any Action with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon request therefor) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such Action and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Parent, the Company, the Agent and the Equityholders agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations of the respective Taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no obligation to prepare or file any Tax Returns.

 

70


(b) Parent shall cause to be prepared and filed all Tax Returns of the Acquired Companies for any taxable period that ends on or before the Closing Date and that is required to be filed after the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Date Return”). All such Pre-Closing Date Returns shall be prepared in a manner that is consistent with those prepared for prior taxable periods and only in the jurisdictions where the Acquired Companies have filed comparable Tax Returns, unless reasonably determined by Parent to be otherwise required by Applicable Law. To the extent that any such Pre-Closing Date Return is an income or other material Tax Return that gives rise to a claim for indemnification of Pre-Closing Taxes, Parent shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Agent each such Tax Return at least 20 days prior to the due date (taking into account extensions) for such Tax Return, and shall consider in good faith any reasonable comments thereto received from the Agent for such Tax Return.

(c) If any Tax Authority asserts a Tax Claim, then Parent shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Agent; provided that the failure of such party to give such prompt notice shall not relieve the other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent that the other party is actually and materially prejudiced by such failure. Such notice shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such Tax Claim and shall include a copy of the relevant portion of any correspondence received from the Tax Authority. In the case of any Tax Proceeding with respect to the Acquired Companies for any taxable period ending on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall have the right to control such Tax Proceeding; provided that to the extent such Tax Proceeding would reasonably be expected to result in a claim for indemnification of Pre-Closing Taxes, (1) Parent shall keep the Agent reasonably informed at each stage of such Tax Proceeding, (2) Parent shall provide the Agent with an opportunity to review and comment on any substantive written submissions made by or on behalf of the Acquired Company in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (3) Parent shall not settle, compromise or abandon any such Tax Proceeding without first consulting with the Agent and considering in good faith any reasonable comments of the Agent on the proposed settlement, compromise or abandonment of the Tax Proceeding. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 5.13(c) and Article 8, the provisions of this Section 5.13(c) shall control.

(d) Without the prior written consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and to the extent that such Actions could reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification in respect of any alleged breach of any representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement or of Pre-Closing Taxes pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(iv), Parent shall not, and shall permit any of its Affiliates (including, after the Effective Time, Acquired Companies), to: (i) amend any income or other material Tax Return of any Acquired Company with respect to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date; (ii) change or revoke any Tax election with respect to any Acquired Company with retroactive effect to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date, or (iii) voluntarily approach any Tax Authority on or after the Closing Date with respect to any Tax position taken by any Acquired Company on a Tax Return for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided that nothing in this Section 5.13(d) shall limit Parent’s ability to file or amend any Form 926 filings for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date and the parties acknowledge that any penalties or additional amounts arising out of such filing or amendment would be treated as a Pre-Closing Tax. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Section 5.13(d) shall not be interpreted to preclude Parent or its Affiliates from taking such Tax filing actions as are necessary to cause the Acquired Companies’ Tax Returns to be consistent with the requirements of applicable Tax law. The Agent’s consent will be deemed to be unreasonably withheld with respect to any actions described in this Section 5.13(d) and Parent may proceed with such actions without the Agent’s consent, if Parent has

 

71


provided prior written notice to the Agent of its intent to take such actions or allow its Affiliates to do so and the Agent has not, within a reasonable period of time and at the expense of the Equityholders, provided to Parent a written opinion from a reputable law firm or tax advisor reasonably satisfactory to Parent, that the Acquired Company Tax position to be changed by that action is “more likely than not” correct under applicable Tax laws. Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with Agent prior to filing any Tax Return with respect to a Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date in any jurisdiction in which the Acquired Company did not file a comparable Tax Return in an immediately preceding Tax Period.

(e) Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Company and its counsel with a duly executed tax representations letter, dated as of the Closing Date, containing customary representations reasonably required for Company’s counsel to provide the Company with an opinion to the effect that the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, will qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(f) Parent, the Company and the Surviving Company will each use reasonable best efforts to cause the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. Prior to or following the Closing, none of Parent, the Company or the Surviving Company will, and they will not permit any of their respective Affiliates to, take (or fail to take) any action which action (or failure to act) would reasonably be expected to cause the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code unless required to do so by Applicable Law.

(g) To the extent the a Stockholder makes an express designation in its Letter of Transmittal provided in accordance with this Agreement that specifies the cash consideration or “other property” (as defined for purposes of Section 356 of the Code) that is to be received in respect of particular shares of Company Common Stock held by such Stockholder, the parties agree to treat such specification as part of the terms of the Merger and this Agreement for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.356-1(b) and Treasury Regulation Section 1.358-2(a)(2) (and any corresponding provisions of any applicable state or local tax laws) to the extent such specifications are economically reasonable.

(h) The parties hereto intend to comply with Revenue Procedure 2018-12, 2018-6 IRB 349 (“Rev. Proc. 2018-12”), and therefore acknowledge and agree that for purposes of determining the value of Parent Stock to be received by the Equityholders pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (i) the “Safe Harbor Valuation Method” (within the meaning of Section 4.01(1) of Rev. Proc. 2018-12) will be the average of the daily volume weighted average prices as described in Section 4.01(1) of Rev. Proc. 2018-12; (ii) the “Measuring Period” (within the meaning of Section 4.01 of Rev. Proc. 2018-12) will be the 20 consecutive trading days ending on the third Business Day prior to the Closing Date; (iii) the “specified exchange” (within the meaning of Section 3.01(4) of Rev. Proc. 2018-12) will be the New York Stock Exchange; and (iv) the “authoritative reporting source” (within the meaning of Section 3.01(4) of Rev. Proc. 2018-12) will be https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/bill.

5.14 Financial Statements. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (a) upon Parent’s request, assist Parent and its Representatives in the preparation of any audited historical and pro forma financial statements of the Company that may be required in connection with Parent’s SEC reporting obligations related to this Agreement or any of the Transactions; (b) promptly furnish such information as Parent may reasonably request in connection with such financial statements or related to the performance of Parent’s SEC reporting obligations relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions; and (c) complete, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or use their reasonable best efforts to cause to be completed, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the appropriate Representatives of the Company, in each case, such questionnaires and other documents, certificates and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Parent in connection with the financial statements or the performance of Parent’s SEC reporting obligations relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions.

 

72


5.15 Form S-3. Subject to applicable securities laws and customary restrictions, including blackout periods under Parent’s insider trading policy, Parent will (x) file a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “S-3 Registration Statement”) with effectiveness as of (or as promptly as practicable and in any event within five Business Days of) the Closing, which S-3 Registration Statement will register the resale of the Share Consideration issued to each Equityholder who executes a Joinder or Warrant Surrender Agreement prior to the Closing, and which Joinder or Warrant Surrender Agreement is delivered by the Company to Parent at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing, and complies with its obligations thereunder, and (y) take other actions as necessary to cause such Share Consideration to be approved for listing on the NYSE, in each case pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in the Joinders and Warrant Surrender Agreements (collectively, the “S-3 Registration”). Parent will provide the Agent with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the S-3 Registration Statement and will consider such comments in good faith.

5.16 Export Control Voluntary Disclosure. No later than two Business Days after the Agreement Date (or a later date agreed by Parent in writing), the Company will retain Thomsen & Burke LLP for purposes of completing an investigation with respect to the Company’s compliance with the applicable U.S. laws and regulations regarding export of the Company’s products and services to and provision of services to or transactions with any customers or entities outside of the United States within the last five years, including, if required by Parent pursuant to this Section 5.16, preparing and filing the notification and documentation described below in accordance with the United States Export Administration Regulations (the “EAR”) and the regulations and sanctions administered by OFAC.

The Company will instruct Thomsen & Burke to complete and deliver a report regarding the results of their investigation and recommendations as to whether a voluntary disclosure of any exports of Company products or provision of services to any individuals or entities located outside of the United States warrants the filing of a voluntary disclosure with either BIS or OFAC. The Company and Parent will discuss the findings of such investigation and, at Parent’s sole discretion, as promptly as practicable after receiving a copy of a report reasonably satisfactory to Parent, but in any case within five Business Days thereafter, Parent may direct the Company to use reasonable efforts in cooperation with Thomsen & Burke and counsel to Parent to notify the United States Bureau of Industry and Security (“BIS”) or OFAC in writing and in accordance with §764.5 of the EAR of (i) any exports or deemed exports of Company products or technology in violation of the EAR or regulations administered by OFAC and (ii) any other information regarding the Company’s exports that is required to be disclosed under §764.5 of the EAR or regulations administered by OFAC. If directed by Parent in its sole discretion pursuant to this Section 5.16, the Company will (A) prior to the Closing, file a true, correct and complete narrative account and all supporting documentation described in §764.5 of the EAR or any regulations administered by OFAC, (B) provide prompt, complete and full cooperation with BIS or OFAC to expedite and complete whatever investigation or administration action is initiated by BIS or OFAC and take all other actions reasonable under the circumstances to mitigate and minimize any sanctions imposed and (C) provide Parent a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such communications with BIS or OFAC, and address any reasonable recommendations of Parent with respect thereto, before filing any such communications with BIS or OFAC.

5.17 Open Source Remediation. The Company shall complete, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Agreement Date (but in any event no later than five days prior to the Closing Date), the remediation with respect to providing attribution for all Open Source Materials used in its distributed software applications, to the satisfaction of Parent.

ARTICLE 6

CONDITIONS PRECEDENT

6.1 Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Parent and Merger Subs to the Closing. The obligations of Parent and Merger Subs to perform and observe the covenants, agreements and conditions hereof to be performed and observed by Parent and Merger Subs at, or in connection with, the Closing will be subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by Parent) of the following conditions:

(a) Approvals. Parent, Merger Subs and the Company shall have timely obtained from each Governmental Body all approvals, waivers and consents, if any, necessary for consummation of, or in connection with, the Merger and the other Transactions. All applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act (including any extensions thereof) or applicable foreign antitrust laws, and any commitments by the parties not to consummate the Merger before a certain date under a timing agreement entered into with the applicable Governmental Body (if applicable) shall, in each case and to the extent applicable, shall have expired or early termination of such waiting periods shall have been granted by the Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice (or, with respect to foreign antitrust laws, the applicable foreign Governmental Body), or in the case of any timing agreement, otherwise been terminated.

(b) Accuracy of Representations and Warranties.

(i) Each of the Fundamental Representations in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for such Fundamental Representations that are qualified by their terms by a reference to materiality, which representations and warranties as so qualified shall be true and correct in all respects), in each case on and as of the Agreement Date and on and as of the Closing Date as though such Fundamental Representations were made on and as of such date (except for representations and warranties that address matters only as to a specified date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct with respect to such specified date).

(ii) Other than Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects, in each case on and as of the Agreement Date and on and as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date (except for representations and warranties that address matters only as to a specified date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects with respect to such specified date), except for such inaccuracies as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole. For clarity, the parties agree that (x) the standard for determining whether a “material and adverse effect” has occurred or would reasonably be expected to occur is distinct from the standard for determining whether a “material adverse effect” has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur under Delaware case law, and (y) the condition in this Section 6.1(b)(ii) will not be satisfied if there is a substantial likelihood that one or more inaccuracies, individually or in the aggregate, would be viewed by a reasonable acquirer of the Acquired Companies as having significantly altered the total mix of information regarding the Acquired Companies, taken as a whole, that is available to such acquirer.

(c) Performance of Agreements. The Company will have performed and complied in all material respects with each of the covenants and agreements under this Agreement that are to be performed or complied with prior to the Closing.

(g) Employment Arrangements. Each Key Employee Document will remain in full force and effect, and none of the Key Employees will be unable to commence employment under his or her offer letter upon the Closing.

No fewer than 90% of the employees and independent contractors of the Company offered employment with Parent post-Closing will have remained continuously employed or engaged (in the case of independent contractors) with the Company through the Closing and have delivered a countersigned offer letter or an acknowledgement of continued employment to Parent, and no action will have been taken by any such individual to rescind such offer letter or acknowledgement.

(i) Section 280G Matters. Any Contracts, plans or arrangements that may result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount or the provision of any benefit that would be characterized as a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code will have been submitted for approval by such number of Stockholders as is required by the terms of Section 280G in order for such payments and benefits not to be deemed parachute payments under Section 280G of the Code, with such approval to be obtained in a manner that satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations, or, in the absence of such stockholder approval, none of those payments or benefits will be paid or provided, pursuant to the Parachute Payment Waivers.

(j) Consents; Amendments; Terminations. Parent will have received duly executed copies of (i) the third-party consents, approvals, assignments, notices, waivers, authorizations or other certificates set forth in Schedule 6.1(j)(i) of the Disclosure Schedule and (ii) the amendments to, or termination of, the Contracts set forth in Schedule 6.1(j)(ii) of the Disclosure Schedule, all in form and substance satisfactory to Parent.

ARTICLE 7

TERMINATION

7.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of Parent and the Company;

(b) by Parent or the Company if the Closing has not occurred on or before 11:59 p.m., Pacific Time, on November 12, 2021 (the “Termination Date”); provided that Parent and the Company may mutually agree to extend the Termination Date to January 12, 2022 if, as of the original Termination Date, (i) the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1(a) have not been satisfied and (ii) all of the other conditions to Closing set forth in Article 6 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions that, by their terms, are intended to be satisfied at Closing, which conditions only need to be capable of being satisfied at the Closing). If either Parent, on the one hand, or the Company or any Equityholder, on the other hand, is then in breach of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, and such breach causes the failure of the Closing to occur by the Termination Date, then Parent, in the case of such breach by Parent, or the Company, in the case of such breach by the Company or any Equityholder, may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(b);

(c) by Parent if (i) there has been an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Company herein or a breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company herein, (ii) such inaccuracy or breach has not been cured within 30 days after receipt by the Company of written notice of such inaccuracy or breach and (iii) such inaccuracy or breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 to be satisfied; except that no such cure period will be available or applicable to any such breach that by its nature cannot be cured;

(d) by the Company if (i) there has been an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by Parent herein or a breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Parent herein, (ii) such inaccuracy or breach has not have been cured within 30 days after receipt by Parent of written notice of such inaccuracy or breach and (iii) such inaccuracy or breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.2 to be satisfied; except that no such cure period will be available or applicable to any such inaccuracy or breach that by its nature cannot be cured; or

 

78


(e) by Parent, if the Company has not obtained the Stockholder Approval complying with all of the provisions of the DGCL and the Charter and the Bylaws at or prior to the time that is 24 hours following the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

7.2 Effect of Termination. To terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1, the terminating party must give written notice to the other parties. Upon delivery of such written notice, this Agreement will terminate and become void and have no further force or effect, and the Transactions will be abandoned without further action by the parties hereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Section 8.7(b), this Section 7.2 and Article 9 will survive indefinitely, and nothing herein will relieve any party hereto of Liability for any fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful breach of this Agreement occurring prior to such termination.

ARTICLE 8

ESCROW FUND AND INDEMNIFICATION

8.1 Escrow Fund.

(a) At the Effective Time, Parent will deposit the Escrow Amount with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. (or another institution selected by Parent and reasonably satisfactory to the Company) as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), which Escrow Fund will be governed by this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit K (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrow Fund will constitute partial security for the benefit of Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Equityholders under this Article 8. The Escrow Agent will hold the Escrow Fund until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the date (the “Escrow Release Date”) that is 18 months after the Effective Time. Neither the Escrow Fund (including any portion thereof) nor any beneficial interest therein may be pledged, subjected to any Lien, sold, assigned or transferred by any Equityholder or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of any Equityholder, in each case prior to the distribution of the Escrow Fund to any Equityholder in accordance with Section 8.1(b), except by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other operation of law.

(b) Within two Business Days following the Escrow Release Date, Parent and Agent will cause the Escrow Agent to deliver (i) the Escrow Fund less (ii) that portion of the Escrow Fund necessary to satisfy the maximum amount of all unresolved Claim Certificates to the Equityholders pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of Article 2. Any portion of the Escrow Fund held by the Escrow Agent after the Escrow Release Date will be distributed by the Escrow Agent within two Business Days following the resolution of the applicable Claim Certificate pursuant to Section 8.5.

8.2 Indemnification.

(a) Subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8, from and after the Closing, each Equityholder will severally and not jointly, in accordance with such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share, indemnify and hold harmless Parent, the Merger Subs and the Company and their respective subsidiaries, officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person, if any, who controls or may control Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against, and will compensate and reimburse each Indemnified Person for, any and all claims, losses, damages, Liabilities, costs and expenses, including enforcement costs, actually incurred or suffered by any Indemnified Person (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), whether or not arising out of a Third-Party Claim, arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the following (each item (i)-(xi), an “Indemnifiable Matter”):

 

79


(i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement, other than Fundamental Representations and Named Representations, to be true and correct on the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date, except in the case of representations and warranties that are not Fundamental Representation and which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which will be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates (this Indemnifiable Matter, a “General Representation Breach”);

(ii) any failure of any Named Representation made by the Company in this Agreement to be true and correct on the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date, except in the case of Fundamental Representations which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which will be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates (this Indemnifiable Matter, a “Named Representation Breach”);

(iii) any failure of any Fundamental Representation made by the Company in this Agreement to be true and correct on the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date, except in the case of Fundamental Representations which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which will be true and correct on and as of such specified date or dates;

(iv) any breach of, or default in connection with, any of the pre-Closing covenants, agreements or obligations made by the Company herein;

(v) any inaccuracies in the Spreadsheet or the Financial Certificate;

(vi) any matter set forth in Schedule 3.7 of the Disclosure Schedule or that is or would be an exception to the representations and warranties in Section 3.7 (Actions) made on the Agreement Date or on the Closing Date;

(vii) any claims by (A) any then-current or former holder or alleged then-current or former holder of any equity interests of the Company (including any predecessors), arising out of, resulting from or in connection with (I) the Transactions, this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and the allocation of the Purchase Price or (II) such Person’s status or alleged status as a holder of equity interests of the Company (including any predecessors) at any time at or prior to the Closing, whether for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise, (B) any Person to the effect that such Person is entitled to any equity interest of Parent or the Company or any payment in connection with the Transactions other than as specifically set forth on the Spreadsheet, including payments made with respect to Dissenting Shares to the extent that such payments or issuances, in the aggregate, exceed the value of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable or issuable (based on the Parent Stock Price) pursuant to Section 2.3(a)-(c) upon the exchange of such Dissenting Shares, and any interest, costs, expenses and fees incurred by any Indemnified Person in connection with the exercise of any dissenters’ or appraisal rights or (C) any Person with respect to any Option Plans or any other plan, policy or Contract providing for compensation to any Person in the form of equity interests;

(viii) any Pre-Closing Taxes not included in the calculation of the Adjusted Purchase Price;

(ix) any Liability for any obligation to provide indemnification or exculpation of Persons serving as directors and officers of the Company prior to the Closing to the extent not covered by the D&O Tail;

 

80


(x) any actual fraud by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the Transactions; and

(xi) any of the matters set forth in Schedule 8.2(a)(xi) of the Disclosure Schedule.

(b) Materiality standards or qualifications, qualifications or requirements that a matter be or not be “reasonably expected” or “reasonably likely” to occur and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Company Material Adverse Effect” in any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation will not be taken into account in determining whether an inaccuracy of such representation or warranty, or a breach of such covenant, agreement or obligation exists, and will not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such inaccuracy or breach.

8.3 Limitations. Subject in each case to Section 8.3(j):

(a) (i) recovery from the Escrow Fund will constitute the first source of monetary recovery of the Indemnified Persons for any claim for Indemnifiable Damages under this Article 8 and (ii) any claim for Indemnifiable Damages will be satisfied first from the Escrow Fund (to the extent available) and only after the Escrow Fund has been exhausted, then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article 8 directly from the Equityholders on a several but not joint basis, in accordance with their Pro Rata Share;

(b) Other than for fraud, the maximum liability of the Equityholders for claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with a General Representation Breach or a Named Representation Breach shall be the Escrow Amount;

(c) an Indemnified Person may not make a claim against the Escrow Fund in respect of any General Representation Breach unless and until (i) the Indemnifiable Damages relating to such General Representation Breach exceed $25,000; provided that a set or series of claims with respect to the same or directly related set of facts may be aggregated for the purpose of determining the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages and (ii) the Indemnified Persons have delivered one or more Claim Certificates describing more than $3,125,000 in aggregate Indemnifiable Damages (the “Basket”), and after delivering such Claim Certificates describing Indemnifiable Damages in excess of the Basket, an Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification and may receive cash or Parent Shares from the Escrow Fund for all General Representation Breaches (including the amount of the Basket). This Section 8.3(c) will not apply to any General Representation Breach that involves fraud or losses arising out of or related to or incurred in connection with the Specified Employees being resident in other jurisdictions during their employment by Cimrid Pty. Ltd.;

(d) each Equityholder will be liable for his, her or its Pro Rata Share of any Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with any of the Indemnifiable Matters listed in Sections 8.2(a)(iii)-(xi) (such Indemnifiable Matters, “Fundamental Matters”); provided that each Equityholder’s maximum Liability for all Indemnifiable Matters will be limited to the value of the consideration actually received (on a gross basis and not net of Taxes) by such Equityholder pursuant to Section 2.3 (with each share of Parent Stock issuable to such Equityholder being valued for this purpose at the Parent Stock Price);

(e) Notwithstanding Section 8.3(a), the amounts that an Indemnified Person may recover from the Escrow Fund in respect of Fundamental Matters will not reduce the amount that an Indemnified Person may recover with respect to General Representation Breaches and/or Named Representation Breaches. By way of illustration and not limitation, assuming there are no other claims for indemnification, in the event that Indemnifiable Damages resulting from a Fundamental Matter are first satisfied from the Escrow Fund and such recovery fully depletes the Escrow Fund, the maximum amount recoverable by an Indemnified Person pursuant to a General Representation Breach or a Named Representation Breach will continue to be the full value of the original Escrow Fund.

 

81


(f) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) no Equityholder will have any right of indemnification, contribution or right of advancement from any Indemnified Person with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages claimed by any Indemnified Person or any right of subrogation against the Company or the Surviving Company with respect to any indemnification of an Indemnified Person by reason of any Indemnifiable Matter and (ii) if an Indemnified Person’s claim under this Article 8 may be properly characterized in multiple ways in accordance with this Article 8 such that such claim may or may not be subject to different limitations depending on such characterization, then such Indemnified Person will have the right to characterize such claim in a manner that maximizes the recovery and time to assert such claim permitted in accordance with this Article 8; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Person shall not be entitled to recover with respect to any matter arising under one provision or characterization to the extent the Indemnified Person have already recovered the same Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision or characterization under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents (i.e., no double recovery);

(g) all Indemnifiable Damages will be calculated net of the amount of any recoveries actually received by an Indemnified Person prior to the Escrow Release Date under any existing insurance policies; provided that no Indemnified Person will have any obligation to seek to obtain or continue to pursue any such recoveries. The availability of the Escrow Fund to indemnify the Indemnified Persons will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification that any Equityholder may have in his, her or its capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Company and no such Equityholder will be entitled to any indemnification from the Company or the Surviving Company for amounts paid for indemnification under this Article 8;

(h) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no Indemnified Person shall have any right to indemnification under this Article 8 for any Indemnifiable Damages attributable to or arising out of a breach of, or inaccuracy in, any of the representations or warranties set forth in Section 3.12 (Taxes) to the extent that such Indemnifiable Damages result from any reduction in, or unavailability of, any net operating loss carryovers or other similar Tax attribute of any of the Acquired Companies in any Taxable period beginning after the Closing Date;

(i) the rights of the Indemnified Person to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Indemnifiable Damages or any other remedy under this Agreement shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with, any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company or any other matter. The waiver of any condition based on the accuracy of any such representation or warranty, or on the performance of or compliance with any such covenant or agreement, will not affect the right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement, payment of Indemnifiable Damages, or any other remedy based on any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, and no Indemnified Person shall be required to show reliance on any representation, warranty, certificate or other agreement in order for such Indemnified Person to be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder; and

(j) nothing in this Agreement will limit the Liability of any Equityholder who commits fraud or has actual knowledge of fraud.

 

82


8.4 Survival Periods. If the Merger is consummated, the following survival periods will apply (each, a “Survival Period”):

(a) the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement will survive the Effective Time and remain in full force and effect until 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the Escrow Release Date; except that the Fundamental Representations will survive until the earlier of (A) expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or (B) the six-year anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that nothing in this Section 8.4(a) will limit the Survival Period for fraud;

(b) the Equityholders’ obligations for all other Indemnifiable Matters (other than for Pre-Closing Taxes and fraud) will survive until the earlier of (i) expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or (ii) the six-year anniversary of the Closing Date; except that the Survival Periods for Indemnifiable Matters relating to (i) Pre-Closing Taxes will be 60 days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (ii) fraud will not be limited and claims related to fraud shall survive indefinitely; and

(c) the representations, warranties and covenants of Parent contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents will expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Effective Time; except for covenants to be performed after the Effective Time, which will survive until performed.

8.5 Claims.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth in this Section 8.5, the period during which claims may be made in respect of any Indemnifiable Matter begins at Closing and ends as of the expiration of the applicable Survival Period (the “Claims Period”).

(b) During the Claims Period, Parent may deliver to the Agent one or more certificates signed by any officer of Parent (each, a “Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages (or that with respect to any Tax matters, that any Tax Authority may raise such matter in an audit of Parent or its Subsidiaries, that could give rise to Indemnifiable Damages);

(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Parent in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Parent) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

(c) Such Claim Certificate (i) need only specify such information to the knowledge of such officer of Parent as of the date thereof, (ii) will not limit any of the rights or remedies of any Indemnified Person with respect to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such Claim Certificate and (iii) may be updated and amended from time to time by Parent by delivering any updated or amended Claim Certificate, so long as the delivery of the original Claim Certificate is made within the applicable Claims Period and such update or amendment relates to the underlying facts and circumstances specifically set forth in such original Claims Certificate; provided that all claims for Indemnifiable Damages properly set forth in a Claim Certificate or any update or amendment thereto will

 

83


remain outstanding until such claims have been resolved or satisfied, notwithstanding the expiration of such Claims Period. No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the applicable Claims Period will affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Agent or the Equityholders are materially prejudiced thereby.

8.6 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) If the Agent accepts, by written notice to Parent, or does not contest any claim or claims by Parent made in any Claim Certificate within the 20-Business Day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then (i) the entire amount set forth on such Claim Certificate will become payable by the Equityholders to the Indemnified Persons and (ii) to the extent such liability can be satisfied in whole or in part from the Escrow Fund, Parent and Agent will cause the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent an amount in cash from the Escrow Fund having a total value equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate.

(b) If the Agent objects in writing to any claim or claims by Parent made in any Claim Certificate within the 20-Business Day period set forth in Section 8.6(a), Parent and the Agent will attempt in good faith for 45 days after Parent’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Parent and the Agent so agree, (i) such agreed amount will become payable by the Equityholders to the Indemnified Persons and (ii) to the extent such liability can be satisfied in whole or in part from the Escrow Fund, Parent and Agent will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute to Parent an amount of cash from the Escrow Fund to satisfy all or part of such liability.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the 45-day period for good faith negotiation set forth in Section 8.6(b), but in any event upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Parent or the Agent may pursue a claim subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.6 to obtain a final, non-appealable decision of a court resolving such disputed claim (a “Final Order”). To the extent such liability can be satisfied in whole or in part from the Escrow Fund, Agent (on behalf of the Equityholders) and Parent will each be entitled to instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute the Escrow Fund in accordance with the Final Order.

(d) For purposes of this Section 8.6(d), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in the Claim Certificate is at issue, Parent will be deemed to be the prevailing party unless the court determines in favor of the Agent (on behalf of the Equityholders) with respect to more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Equityholders will be deemed to be the prevailing party. The non-prevailing party will pay its own fees and expenses and the fees and expenses of the prevailing party, including attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with such suit.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, should the amount held in the Escrow Fund, if any, be insufficient to satisfy in whole the amount of Indemnifiable Damages that become payable by the Equityholders to the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Agreement, then each Equityholder shall, as promptly as practicable following the date such amount becomes payable pursuant to this Article 8, pay to the Indemnified Person its Pro Rata Share of such shortfall. Any such shortfall shall be satisfied promptly in either cash or by the forfeiture of Parent Shares (valued based on the average closing price of one Parent Share on the NYSE for the period of five consecutive trading days ending on (and including) the third trading day immediately prior to the date such shortfall is to be paid in accordance with the foregoing sentence); provided that if an Equityholder fails to pay its Pro Rata Share of the shortfall within 10 Business Days of such amount becoming payable pursuant to this Article 8, Parent shall be entitled to, upon prior notice to Equityholder, cancel a number of Parent Shares held by such Equityholder (if any) in satisfaction thereof.

 

84


8.7 Agent.

(a) At the Closing, by virtue of the approval of the Merger and this Agreement by the Equityholders and without any further action of any of the Equityholders or the Company, Fortis Advisors LLC will be constituted and appointed as the Agent. The Agent will be the exclusive agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact for and on behalf of the Equityholders to: (i) execute, as the Agent, this Agreement and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the Transactions; (ii) give and receive notices, instructions and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, for and on behalf of any Equityholder, to or from Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions and any other matters contemplated by this Agreement or by such other Transaction Document (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication will be given or received by each Equityholder individually); (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize Parent to reclaim an amount of cash held in the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to this Article 8; (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 8.6; (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with Orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims, resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the Transactions by arbitration, settlement or otherwise, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Equityholder or necessary in the judgment of the Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement; (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it, solely at the cost and expense of the Equityholders; (vii) consent or agree to any amendment to this Agreement or to waive any terms and conditions of this Agreement providing rights or benefits to the Equityholders (other than with respect to the payment and issuance of the Per Share Consideration as applicable) in accordance with the terms hereof and in the manner provided herein, Parent; or (viii) take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Agent for the accomplishment of the foregoing under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Engagement Agreement, in each case without having to seek or obtain the consent of any Person under any circumstance. Parent, the Merger Subs and their respective Affiliates (including after the Second Effective Time, the Surviving Company) will be entitled to rely on the appointment of Fortis Advisors LLC as the Agent and treat such Agent as the duly appointed attorney-in-fact of each Equityholder and as having the duties, power and authority provided for in this Section 8.7. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Equityholders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Agent in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. The powers, immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Agent Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable and survive the death, incompetence, bankruptcy or liquidation of any Equityholder and shall be binding on any successor thereto, and (ii) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Equityholder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Fund. The Equityholders and their successors will be bound by all actions taken and documents executed by the Agent in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Engagement Agreement as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by the Equityholders, and all defenses which may be available to any Equityholder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Agent taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Engagement Agreement are waived. Parent and other Indemnified Persons will be entitled to rely exclusively on any action or decision of the Agent. The Person serving as the Agent may be removed or replaced from time to time, or if such Person resigns from its position as the Agent, then a successor may be appointed, by the holders of a majority in interest of the cash then held on deposit in the Escrow Fund upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to Parent. No bond will be required of the Agent. The Person serving as the Agent may resign upon not less than 14 days’ prior written notice to Parent and the Advisory Group.

 

85


(b) Neither the Agent nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Agent Group”) will be liable to any Equityholder for any act done or omitted hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Engagement Agreement as the Agent or member of the Advisory Group while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel will be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without gross negligence or willful misconduct. Certain Equityholders have entered into an engagement agreement with the Agent (the “Engagement Agreement”) to provide direction to the Agent in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Engagement Agreements (such Equityholders, including their individual representatives collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). The Equityholders will severally but not jointly, in accordance with such Equityholder’s Pro Rata Share indemnify the Agent Group and hold it harmless against any loss, Liability, damage, claim, penalty, fine, forfeiture, action, fee, judgment, amount paid in settlement, cost or expense incurred without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the part of the Agent and arising out of, resulting from or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Engagement Agreement, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs, costs of other skilled professionals and costs in connection with seeking recovery from insurers reasonably incurred by the Agent (collectively, “Representative Losses”). If not paid directly to the Agent by the Equityholders, Representative Losses may be recovered from the (i) Agent Expense Fund or (ii) any other funds or shares that become payable to the Equityholders under this Agreement at such time as such amounts or shares would otherwise distributable to the Equityholders provided, that while the Agent may be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds and shares, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Agent be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, the Engagement Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Equityholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities and immunities will survive the resignation or removal of the Agent or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

(c) The Agent Expense Fund shall be held by the Agent in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Agent for any Representative Losses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group. The Agent is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Agent Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Agent is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Agent Expense Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Equityholders will not receive any interest on the Agent Expense Fund and such monies will be held in a non-interest bearing account. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Agent may contribute funds to the Agent Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Equityholders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Agent that the Agent Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Agent shall distribute the remaining Agent Expense Fund (if any) to the Escrow Agent, the Exchange Agent and/or Parent, as applicable, for further distribution to the Equityholders.

(d) After the Closing, any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Agent that is within the scope of the Agent’s authority under Section 8.7(a) will constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the Equityholders and will be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Equityholder, and each Indemnified Person will be entitled to rely

 

86


exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Equityholder. Parent, the Merger Subs, the Surviving Company and the Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Spreadsheet, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Equityholder or other party.

8.8 Third-Party Claims. In the event Parent becomes aware of a claim by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that Parent in good faith believes may result in a claim against the Escrow Fund by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person, Parent will have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve such Third-Party Claim, and the costs and expenses incurred by Parent in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs, will be included in the Indemnifiable Damages regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that such Third-Party Claim arose out of, resulted from or was in connection with a matter listed in Section 8.2. The Agent will have the right to participate in (but not control) such defense and the Equityholders shall be solely liable (on behalf of the Equityholders) for the reasonable fees and expenses of Agent’s separate counsel; provided, that in any event, the Agent will have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such Third-Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person, subject to execution by the Agent of Parent’s (and, if required, such third party’s) standard non-disclosure agreement to the extent that such materials contain confidential or proprietary information, and Parent shall keep the Agent reasonably advised as to the status of such Action and the defense thereof and will cooperate with and consider in good faith the input and recommendations of the Agent and Agent’s counsel, but Parent will have the right in its sole discretion to determine and conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim and the settlement, adjustment or compromise of such Third-Party Claim; provided that the settlement amount of a Third-Party Claim will not be determinative of the amount of Indemnifiable Damages unless (x) the Agent consents to such settlement or (y) the Agent unreasonably withholds, conditions or delays its consent to such settlement.

8.9 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Parent, the Agent and the Equityholders agree to treat (and cause their respective Affiliates to treat) any payment received by the Indemnified Persons pursuant to this Article 8 as Per Share Consideration for all Tax purposes to the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law.

ARTICLE 9

9.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties to the fullest extent possible.

 

88


9.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule and all other exhibits and schedules hereto), the other Transaction Documents, and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior (but not concurrent) agreements and undertakings, both written and oral, among the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, except that nothing herein will supersede any provision of any offer letter, confidential information and assignment agreement or other employment agreement between Parent and any Continuing Employee.

9.5 Assignment; Parties in Interest. This Agreement will not be assigned by operation of law or otherwise, and any such assignment will be null and void, except that any or all rights and obligations of Parent and Merger Subs may be assigned to one or more wholly owned Subsidiaries of Parent, so long as such assignment does not relieve Parent and Merger Subs of any of its obligations hereunder. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding on and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement (except that (x) Article 8 is intended to benefit the Indemnified Persons, (y) Section 5.12 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Parties; and (z) Section 5.15 is intended to benefit the Equityholders).

9.6 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transactions: (i) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware and any state appellate court therefrom or, if (but only if) such court lacks subject matter jurisdiction, the United States District Court sitting in New Castle County in the State of Delaware and any appellate court therefrom (collectively, the “Delaware Courts”); and (ii) each of the parties irrevocably consents to service of process by first class certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, to the address at which such party is to receive notice in accordance with Section 9.2. Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally (1) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Delaware Courts, (2) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Delaware Courts, (3) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the jurisdiction or laying venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Courts and (4) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Delaware Courts. The parties agree that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Applicable Laws; provided that nothing in the foregoing shall restrict any party’s rights to seek any post-judgment relief regarding, or any appeal from, such final trial court judgment.

(b) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. Subject to the following sentence, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in the courts described in Section 9.6(a) without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other

 

89


remedy to which they are entitled under this Agreement, and (ii) the right of specific performance is an integral part of the Transactions and without that right, neither the Company nor Parent would have entered into this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. The parties acknowledge and agree that any party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.6(b) shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Order.

(c) EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING BETWEEN THE PARTIES (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE), INCLUDING ANY COUNTERCLAIM, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF. EACH PARTY (I) MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (II) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 9.6.

9.7 Interpretation. When a reference is made herein to Articles, Sections, subsections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference will be to an Article, Section or subsection of, or a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein will be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Where a reference is made to a Contract, instrument or law, such reference is to such Contract, instrument or law as amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of law) by succession of comparable successor law and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender include each other gender and neutral forms of such words, (ii) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (iii) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (iv) references to clauses without a cross-reference to a Section or subsection are references to clauses within the same Section or, if more specific, subsection, (v) references to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person and (vi) references from or through any date will mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively. The symbol “$” refers to United States Dollars. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase will not mean simply “if.” All references to “days” will be to calendar days unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.” The parties acknowledge and agree that the calculation of certain defined terms in this Agreement, including the Cash Consideration Percentage and the Unaccredited Investor Payment Amount, require iterative calculations in Microsoft Excel.

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in one or more counterparts, either manually or electronically (including by PDF and electronic mail), each of which will be deemed to be an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same agreement. No counterpart will be effective unless and until each party has executed at least one counterpart.

9.9 Remedies. Each of Parent, the Company and the Agent acknowledges and agrees that the other would be damaged irreparably if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is breached. Accordingly, each of Parent, the Company and the Agent agrees that the other such parties will be entitled to an injunction to prevent breaches of any provision of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.

 

90


9.10 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented at any time, but only pursuant to an instrument in writing signed by Parent and (a) prior to the Closing, the Company or (b) following the Closing, the Agent, and any such amendment will be binding on all parties hereto and the Equityholders.

9.11 Waiver. Parent may (a) extend the time for the performance of any obligation of the Company, any Equityholder, or the Agent under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (b) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of the Company or any Equityholder contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (which waiver will not in any manner affect the rights of the Indemnified Persons under Article 8) or (c) waive compliance by the Company, any Equityholder or the Agent with any agreement or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document (which waiver will not in any manner affect the rights of the Indemnified Persons under Article 8). The Agent (if after the Closing) or the Company (if prior to the Closing) may (i) extend the time for the performance of any obligation of Parent or Merger Subs under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, (ii) waive any inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Parent or Merger Subs contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (iii) waive compliance by Parent or Merger Subs with any agreement or condition contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. Any extension or waiver contemplated in this Section 9.11 will be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by Parent or the Agent (or, prior to the Closing, the Company), as applicable, and will apply only as set forth in such instrument and will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any failure to comply with any other obligation, covenant, agreement or condition contained herein. Any extension or waiver by the Agent (or, prior to the Closing, the Company) will be binding on the Company, each Equityholder and the Agent.
