Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

On September 19, 2010, RAE entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Rudy Acquisition Corp. (“Purchaser”) and Rudy Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Purchaser. Purchaser and Merger Sub are each affiliates of Battery Ventures VIII, L.P and Battery Ventures VIII Side Fund, L.P. (together with Battery Ventures VIII, L.P., “Battery”) Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser (the “Merger”).

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of RAE’s common stock (the “Shares”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into the right to receive $1.60 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), other than the Exchange Shares (defined below), which will be exchanged for shares of Purchaser representing 30% of the outstanding capital stock of Purchaser as of immediately following the Effective Time.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the RLC Trust, the Foundation, Robert I. Chen, the Hsi Family Trust and Peter Hsi (each, a “Voting Party” and collectively, the “Voting Parties”) entered into a Voting Agreement with Purchaser, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1, dated as of September 19, 2010 (each, a “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, the Voting Parties agreed to vote all the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such stockholders in favor of the Merger and against any other acquisition proposal at any meeting of RAE’s stockholders until termination of the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each Voting Party irrevocably appointed Purchaser and Battery as its true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to (x) vote their Common Stock for the matters expressly provided for in the Voting Agreement and (y) execute and deliver all written consents, conveyances and other instruments or documents appropriate or necessary to effect the matters expressly provided for in the Voting Agreement. Each Voting Party further agreed not to sell any shares of Common Stock that are subject to the Voting Agreements until the earlier of the effective time of the Merger or the termination of the Merger Agreement on its terms and agreed that any additional shares of Common Stock acquired would automatically become subject to the Voting Agreement.

Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the RLC Trust and the Hsi Family Trust (collectively, the “Rollover Shareholders”) entered into a Rollover Agreement with Purchaser, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2, dated as of September 19, 2010 (each, a “Rollover Agreement”) pursuant to which (1) the RLC Trust agreed to surrender 10,701,525 shares of Common Stock (the “RLC Exchange Shares”) in exchange for 17,122,440 shares of common stock of Purchaser and 16,951 shares of preferred stock of Purchaser, and (2) the Hsi Family Trust agreed to surrender 2,691,332 shares of Common Stock (the “Hsi Exchange Shares” and together with the RLC Exchange Shares, the “Exchange Shares”) in exchange for 4,306,131 shares of common stock and 4,263 shares of preferred stock of Purchaser, in each case immediately prior to the Effective Time. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Rollover Agreements, the RLC Trust and the Hsi Family Trust have agreed not to sell, pledge, encumber, grant an option with respect to, transfer or dispose of the Exchange Shares through the Effective Time (including by means of entering into a swap or similar transaction that transfers the economic consequences of ownership of the Exchange Shares), and, in connection therewith, have granted Purchaser a first priority lien upon and security interest in the Rollover Shareholders’ respective rights and interest in the Exchange Shares. The Rollover Agreements will terminate upon termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms. Copies of the Rollover Agreements are attached hereto as Exhibit 4 and Exhibit 5 hereto.

References to, and descriptions of, the merger, the Merger Agreement, the Voting Agreements and the Rollover Agreements throughout this statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement included as Exhibit 2.1 to RAE’s current report on Form 8-K dated September 20, 2010, the Form of Voting Agreement included as Exhibit 1 to this statement, and the Form of Rollover Agreement included as Exhibit 2 to this statement.

THIS ROLLOVER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of September 19, 2010 by and between RUDY ACQUISITION CORP., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and «INVESTOR_NAME_ROLLOVER» (the “Investor”). Certain definitions are set forth in Section 7 of this Agreement. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement, not otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement (as defined below). Subject to Section 10 hereof, this Agreement shall be a binding obligation of the parties on the date hereof, but the Rollover (as defined below) shall become effective immediately prior to the Effective Time upon the Closing Date.

RECITALS:

A. The Investor is currently a stockholder of RAE SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Target”), and is the owner of «Number_of_Shares_Voting» shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Target (the “Target Common Stock”).

B. The Company has entered into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among the Company, RUDY MERGER SUB CORP., a Delaware corporation and the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Target pursuant to which Merger Sub shall merge with and into Target with Target as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

C. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Contemplated Transactions”), the Investor desires, immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date, to contribute to the Company that number of shares of Target Common Stock as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Exchange Shares”) having a per share purchase price as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the aggregate purchase price for the shares of Target Common Stock to be exchanged by the Investor shall be referred to herein as the “Rollover Amount”).

D. Company desires to issue to the Investor the Rollover Shares in exchange for the Investor’s contribution to the Company of the Exchange Shares.

E. The Investor believes that it is in its best interests to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Merger Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

  1. Acquisition of Rollover Shares.

(a) Immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement), the Investor shall surrender to the Company the Investor’s Exchange Shares (and the certificate(s) representing such Exchange Shares accompanied by duly executed stock powers), free and clear of all Encumbrances and, simultaneously with such surrender, the Company shall issue to the Investor a certain number of shares of the Company’s Preferred Stock and Common Stock (as further defined in Section 7(f), the “Rollover Shares”), as set forth opposite the Investor’s name on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Rollover”). Such Rollover Shares issued to the Investor shall have an aggregate value equal to the Rollover Amount. The allocations of shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock as set forth on Exhibit A will be in the same relative proportion as the allocation of the shares of Preferred Stock and Common Stock issued to the Sponsors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and immediately following the Effective Time, there shall not be outstanding any stock of the Company or securities convertible or exchangeable for any shares of the Company’s capital stock other than the Preferred Stock and Common Stock issued to the Investor, the other Rollover Holders and the Sponsors as set forth on the capitalization table attached hereto as Exhibit F.

 

1.


(b) In connection with the acquisition of the Rollover Shares hereunder, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which the Investor is a party, the Investor represents and warrants to the Company that:

(i) The Investor is acquiring the Rollover Shares for investment for its own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. The Investor understands that the offer and sale of the Rollover Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Investor’s representations as expressed herein. The Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D, Rule 501(a), promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(ii) The Investor has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of Rollover Shares and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as he has requested.

(iii) The Investor has had the opportunity to consult its own tax advisors with respect to the tax consequences to himself of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Rollover Shares, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local, and other income tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws. The Investor acknowledges that none of the Company, its subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors, beneficiaries, heirs and assigns and its and their past and present directors, officers, employees, and agents (including, without limitation, their attorneys) makes or has made any representations or warranties to the Investor regarding the tax consequences to the Investor of the purchase, receipt or ownership of the Rollover Shares, including the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other tax laws of the United States or any other country and the possible effects of changes in such tax laws, except as set forth herein and in the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in Section 7 below).

(iv) The Investor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Exchange Shares as set forth opposite its name on Exhibit A attached hereto, free and clear of any Encumbrances.

 

2.


(v) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, enforceable in accordance with its terms (except as enforceability may be limited by principles of public policy, applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies generally or general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered and applied in a proceeding at law or in equity)), and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Investor does not and will not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which the Investor is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which the Investor is subject, except for such conflicts, violations or breaches which would not, individually or in the aggregate, adversely effect the ability of the Investor to fully perform its covenants and obligations hereunder.

(vi) The Investor is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate the risks and benefits of the investment in the Rollover Shares.

(vii) The Investor acknowledges that none of the Company or any of its officers, directors, representatives or Affiliates has given the Investor any investment advice, credit information, or opinion on whether the contribution of the Exchange Shares in exchange for the Rollover Shares is prudent. The Investor has not relied on the Company to furnish or make available any documents or other information regarding the credit, affairs, financial condition or business of the Company, or any other matter concerning the Company. Except as set forth herein, the Company acknowledges none of the Company or any of its officers, directors, representatives or Affiliates has made any representation or warranty to the Investor.

(viii) The Investor is a resident of the State of California.

(c) As an inducement to the Company to issue the Rollover Shares to the Investor, and as a condition thereto, the Investor acknowledges and agrees that neither the issuance of the Rollover Shares to the Investor nor any provision contained herein shall entitle the Investor to remain in the employment of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or affect the right of the Company or any such Subsidiary to terminate the Investor’s employment at any time for any reason.

(d) Upon execution of this Agreement by the Investor, the Investor’s spouse, if any, shall execute the Spousal Consent in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

(e) Conditions to the Obligations of the Investor Hereunder. The obligations of the Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1 of this Agreement shall be subject to and conditioned upon the following: (i) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement being true and correct in all material respects at and as of the Closing as if made at and as of the Closing, (ii) the Company’s compliance in all material respects with its obligations hereunder, (iii) the absence of any prohibition against the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by any applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment or order of any governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, (iv) the filing by the Company of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation (which Certificate shall provide that it is to be effective upon filing), (v) the furnishing of funds by the Sponsors to the Company in satisfaction of their obligations to the Company under the Purchase Agreement and the execution by the Sponsors of the Stockholders Agreement; and (vi) the satisfaction or waiver by the Company and/or the Target, as applicable, of all of the conditions to the consummation of the Merger (as set forth in the Merger Agreement). Investor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions above to be satisfied, and in no event may Investor rely on any condition set forth above to be satisfied if such failure was caused by Investor’s failure to use its commercially reasonable efforts to so cause the applicable condition to be satisfied.

 

3.


  2. Restrictions on Transfer of Exchange Shares and Rollover Shares.

(a) Restriction on Transfer of Exchange Shares. During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, Investor shall not, directly or indirectly, cause or permit any Transfer of any of the Exchange Shares to be effected.

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND CERTAIN OTHER AGREEMENTS SET FORTH IN A ROLLOVER AGREEMENT BETWEEN RUDY ACQUISITION CORP. AND A STOCKHOLDER OF RAE SYSTEMS, INC. DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 19, 2010. A COPY OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED BY THE HOLDER HEREOF AT RUDY ACQUISITION CORP.’S PRINCIPAL PLACE OF BUSINESS WITHOUT CHARGE.”

(c) Restriction on Transfer of Rollover Shares. From and after the Effective Time, the Transfer of the Rollover Shares shall be governed by the terms and conditions of the Stockholders Agreement.

(a) Organization and Corporate Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the absolute and unrestricted right, power and authority to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The copies of the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws which have been furnished to the Investor’s counsel reflect all amendments made thereto at any time prior to the date of this Agreement and are correct and complete.

 

4.


(b) Capital Stock and Related Matters.

(i) As of immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not have outstanding any stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for any shares of its capital stock or containing any profit participation features (except for 2 shares of Common Stock owned by the Sponsors, which shall be cancelled at the Effective Time), nor shall it have outstanding any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase its capital stock or any stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for its capital stock or any stock appreciation rights or phantom stock plans other than pursuant to and as contemplated by this Agreement, the other Rollover Agreements (as such term is defined in the Stockholders Agreement), the Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Company’s certificate of incorporation. As of the Closing, the Company shall not be subject to any obligation (contingent or otherwise) to repurchase or otherwise acquire or retire any shares of its capital stock or any warrants, options or other rights to acquire its capital stock, except pursuant to this Agreement, the other Rollover Agreements, the Purchase Agreement, the Stockholders Agreement and the Company’s certificate of incorporation. As of the Closing, all of the outstanding shares of the Company’s capital stock (including the Rollover Shares) shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and the Rollover Shares shall be free and clear of any Encumbrances (except as set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement). As of immediately after the Effective Time, the capitalization of the Company shall be as set forth on Exhibit F hereto.

(ii) There are no statutory or, to the Company’s knowledge, contractual stockholders’ preemptive rights or rights of refusal with respect to the issuance of the Rollover Shares hereunder, except as expressly contemplated in the Stockholders Agreement or provided in the Purchase Agreement. Based in part on the investment representations of the Sponsors in Section 2 of the Purchase Agreement and of the Investor in Section 1(b) hereof, the Company has not violated any applicable federal or state securities laws in connection with the offer, sale or issuance of any of its capital stock, and the offer, sale and issuance of the Rollover Shares hereunder do not and will not require registration under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws. To the Company’s knowledge, there are no agreements between the Company’s stockholders with respect to the voting or transfer of the Company’s capital stock or with respect to any other aspect of the Company’s affairs, except for this Agreement, the other Rollover Agreements, the Stockholders Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement.

(c) Authorization; No Breach. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party have been duly authorized by any necessary action on the Company and its Board. Each Transaction Document and the Company’s certificate of incorporation constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to: (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors; and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company; the offering, sale and issuance of the Rollover Shares hereunder; and the fulfillment of and compliance with the respective terms hereof and thereof by the Company do not and will not will: (1) conflict with or result in any breach of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company; (2) result in a material default by the Company under any contract to which the Company is a party, or (3) result in a material violation by the Company of any Legal Requirement or any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree to which the Company is subject.

 

5.


(d) Section 351. The Company has no current plan or intention to reacquire any of the Rollover Shares or shares issued to the Sponsor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Company will not issue voting or nonvoting stock of the Company in exchange for any consideration other than cash or other property in a manner and at a time that is reasonably likely to prevent the stock issuances to Investor and the other Rollover Holders contemplated by this Agreement from qualifying as tax-free exchanges under Section 351 of the Code; provided, however, that the Company shall not be prohibited from taking any action that is permitted by or required by this Agreement or any other agreement referenced herein.

Assuming (A) the Investor satisfies its obligations with respect to the Rollover, (B) the other Rollover Holder satisfies its obligations with respect to the rollover of its shares of Target Common Stock pursuant to the Rollover Agreement between the Company and such other Rollover Shareholder, and (C) the Sponsors funds their respective obligations pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, in each case at or prior to the Effective Time, the Sponsors, the other Rollover Shareholder and the Investor, when taken together, shall hold at least 80% of the voting stock of the Company and at least 80% of each class of nonvoting stock, if any, at the Effective Time.

4. Newly Formed Entity. The Company was organized solely for the purpose of effecting the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, as of the Effective Time will have engaged in no activity other than in connection with such transactions. Investor recognizes that the Company was only recently formed and, accordingly, has no financial or operating history and that its investment in the Company is extremely speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

5. Consent and Waiver. Investor hereby waives any and all rights to contest or object to the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, the actions of the Board of Directors of Target (or the Special Committee) in approving and recommending the Merger, the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions provided for in the Merger Agreement, or to seek damages or other legal or equitable relief in connection therewith. If the Merger is consummated, then Investors’ right to the Rollover Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement shall constitute Investor’s sole and exclusive right against the Company, Merger Sub and/or the Sponsors in respect of Investors’ ownership of the Exchange Shares or status as a stockholder of the Target in respect of the Exchange Shares or any agreement or instrument with Target pertaining to the Exchange Shares or Investor’s status as a stockholder of the Target in respect of the Exchanges Shares. Furthermore, Investor hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (a) he is not aware of any claims or causes of action that he may have against Target or any other Acquired Corporation for any period up to and through the date hereof, except for its right to be paid wages and expense reimbursements in the ordinary course of Target’s business; and (b) he has no present intention to pursue any Legal Proceeding against Target or any Acquired Corporation.

6. Support of the Transaction. The Investor and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assemble, prepare and file any information (and, as needed, to supplement such information) as may be reasonably necessary to obtain as promptly as practicable all governmental and regulatory consents required to be obtained in connection with the Rollover.

For purposes of clarity, the Investor reaffirms the representations and warranties being made in the Merger Agreement with respect to the Company Common Stock, which includes the Exchange Shares.

(c) Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(g) Applicable Law; Jurisdiction. 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. In any action or suit between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in the State of Delaware; and (ii) each of the parties irrevocably waives the right to trial by jury.
