1.2.                              Co-Investor Contribution.  At the Contribution Closing, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the Co-Investor hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to transfer, contribute and deliver to Newco the number of shares of Company Common Stock opposite its name on Schedule II hereto (the “Co-Investor Contribution”).  In consideration for the Co-Investor Contribution, Newco hereby agrees to issue at the Contribution Closing to the Co-Investor the number of shares of Newco Common Stock set forth opposite its name on Schedule III hereto (the “Co-Investor Shares”).

 

1.3.                              Delivery of Funds and Certificates.  Subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the parties entitled to the benefit thereof) of the conditions set forth in Section 1.4 of this Agreement, the closing of the transactions contemplation hereby (the “Contribution Closing”) will take place at the offices of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 3330 Hillview Avenue, Palo Alto, California 94304, or at such other location as the parties may mutually agree, immediately prior to the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement).  At the Contribution Closing, Newco will deliver to each of (a) the Silver Lake Investors duly executed certificates, registered in the Silver Lake Investors’ respective names, representing the Silver Lake Shares, against the transfer, contribution and payment to Newco of the Silver Lake Contributions, which shall represent payment in full for the Silver Lake Shares, and (b) the Co-Investor duly executed certificates, registered in the Co-Investor’s name, representing the Co-Investor Shares, against the transfer, contribution and payment to Newco of the Co-Investor Contribution (including the delivery of certificates evidencing the applicable number of shares of Company Common Stock with respect to the Co-Investor duly endorsed to Newco), which shall represent payment in full for the Co-Investor Shares.

 

1.4.                              Conditions to the Obligations of the Parties Hereunder.  The respective obligations of the Investors to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

1.5.                              Termination.  This Agreement shall automatically terminate and the Transactions shall be abandoned if at any time prior to the Contribution Closing the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.  In the event of any termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 1.5, this Agreement shall forthwith become wholly void and of no further force or effect (except Section 4.6 and Article V) and there shall be no liability on the part of any parties hereto or their respective officers or directors, except as provided in such Section 4.6 and Article V.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no party hereto shall be relieved from liability for any willful breach of this Agreement.
