TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT

 

This TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as of December 5, 2016 (this “Agreement”), is among Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), GL Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and                 (“Company Stockholder”).

 

WHEREAS, as of the date of this Agreement, Company Stockholder is the holder of record or “beneficial owner” (as defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of  [·] shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Company Common Stock”), of Intralinks Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) (such shares of Company Common Stock together with any shares of Company Common Stock acquired by Company Stockholder after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, “Subject Shares”); provided that Company Options, Company RSUs and Company PSUs beneficially owned by Company Stockholder (“Subject Options”, “Subject RSUs” and “Subject PSUs”, respectively, and together with Subject Shares, “Subject Securities”) shall not be considered “Subject Shares” prior to their exercise or settlement, and shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of Subject Options or settlement of Subject RSUs or Subject PSUs shall be considered “Subject Shares”; provided further, that Unvested Company Shares beneficially owned by Company Stockholder shall not be considered “Subject Shares” for purposes of Section 1.1 hereof if the Company has not granted appropriate waivers, consents or approvals to permit Company Stockholder to tender such Unvested Company Shares in the Offer.

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”; capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) Merger Sub will commence a tender offer to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (such offer as it may be amended from time to time as permitted by the Merger Agreement, the “Offer”), and (b) following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company being the surviving corporation, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, each of Parent and Merger Sub has required, as a condition to its willingness to enter into and perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement, that Company Stockholder enter into this Agreement, and Company Stockholder has agreed to do so in order to induce Parent and Merger Sub to enter into, and in consideration of its entering into, the Merger Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I

 

AGREEMENT TO TENDER

 

1.1          Agreement to Tender.

 

(a)           Company Stockholder agrees that as promptly as practicable after the commencement of the Offer, and in any event no later than the tenth Business Day following the commencement of the Offer, Company Stockholder shall validly and irrevocably tender into the Offer

 



 

(and deliver any certificates evidencing the Subject Shares, to the extent that any are in certificated form) all Subject Shares, free and clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests of any nature whatsoever that would prevent Company Stockholder from tendering the Subject Shares in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise complying with Company Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement; provided that if Company Stockholder has not received the Offer Documents within such ten Business Day period following the commencement of the Offer, Company Stockholder shall so tender the Subject Shares within five Business Days following receipt of the Offer Documents.  If Company Stockholder acquires any Subject Shares after the tenth Business Day following the commencement of the Offer, Company Stockholder shall validly tender into the Offer (and deliver any certificates evidencing such Subject Shares, to the extent that any are in certificated form) such Subject Shares within five Business Days following the date that Company Stockholder acquires such Subject Shares.

 

(b)           Company Stockholder agrees that once the Subject Shares are tendered into the Offer, Company Stockholder shall (i) promptly notify Parent that such Shares have been tendered and (ii) prior to the Termination Date, not withdraw the tender of such Subject Shares unless the Offer shall have been terminated or withdrawn prior to the scheduled expiration time in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement or the Offer shall have expired unconsummated, or the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with its terms.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, or the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the purchase of the Subject Shares in the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Parent and Merger Sub to return, all the Subject Shares tendered by Company Stockholder in the Offer to Company Stockholder.

 

1.2          Agreement to Vote.  Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Company Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, until the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, Company Stockholder shall, in each case to the fullest extent that Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of such Subject Shares (i) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in the failure of any of Offer Conditions to be satisfied and (ii) against any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Transaction and against any other action, agreement or transaction involving the Company that is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with or prevent the consummation of the Offer or the Merger or the other Transactions.  Company Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote all Subject Shares in Company Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those set forth in this Section 1.2 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally; provided that Company Stockholder complies with the terms of this Section 1.2.

2.3                               Consents and Approvals; No Violation.  (a) Except as may be set forth in the Merger Agreement (including filings as may be required under applicable securities and antitrust laws) and any filing required under Sections 13 or 16 under the Exchange Act, no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent, or approval of, any Governmental Entity is necessary for the execution of this Agreement by Company Stockholder and the performance by Company Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement and (b) none of the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Company Stockholder, the performance by Company Stockholder of its obligations under this Agreement or compliance by Company Stockholder with any of the provisions of this Agreement shall (i) result in a material violation or material breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) a default (or give rise to any third party right of termination, cancellation, amendment or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, license, contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding, agreement or other instrument or obligation of any kind to which Company Stockholder is a party or (ii) subject to compliance with filing requirements as may be required under applicable securities laws, violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to Company Stockholder, except in each case under clauses (i) and (ii), where the absence of filing or authorization, conflict, violation, breach, or default would not impair, delay or adversely affect in any material respect the ability of Company Stockholder to perform Company Stockholder’s obligations hereunder.

 

2.4                               Voting Power.  Company Stockholder has sole voting power with respect to all Subject Shares, and sole power of disposition, sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in Article I and IV of this Agreement and sole power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such powers, subject to applicable United States federal securities laws and this Agreement, in each case with respect to all Subject Shares.

Company Stockholder covenants and agrees as follows:

 

4.1                               Restriction on Transfer.  Except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, during the period beginning from the execution and delivery by the parties of this Agreement through the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article V, Company Stockholder shall not directly or indirectly, offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”), or enter into any contract, option, or other arrangement or understanding (including any profit sharing arrangement) with respect to the Transfer of, any or all Subject Securities or any interest therein to any Person, other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the Offer or in connection with the exercise of any Company Options or settlement of any Company RSUs or Company PSUs (it being understood and agreed that any Subject Shares issued upon the exercise of Company Options or the settlement of Company RSUs or Company PSUs shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.1).

4.9                               No Groups.  Company Stockholder agrees that, without the prior written consent of Parent, it shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, become a member of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any Company Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company for the purpose of opposing or competing with the Offer or the Merger.

 

ARTICLE V

“Termination Date”).  In the event of termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article V, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect with no liability on the part of any party; provided that this Article V and Article VI shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided, further that no such termination shall relieve any party from liability for any willful and material breach of this Agreement prior to such termination.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

MISCELLANEOUS

 

6.1                               Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(a)                                 This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the state of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such state without giving effect to the choice of law principles of such state, except for the provisions of this Agreement that relate expressly to the DGCL, which shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the DGCL.

 

(b)                                 Each of the parties hereto (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of any federal court located in the State of Delaware or any Delaware state court for the purpose of any action or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, (b) hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the Transactions, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any Legal Proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or thereof, that it is not subject thereto or that such Legal Proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such Legal Proceeding shall be heard and determined in such courts., (c) consents to the 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 6.7 and (d) agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement in any court other than the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, and irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, or if that court does not have jurisdiction, a federal court sitting in Wilmington, Delaware or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(c)                                  Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Company Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or Company Stockholder in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.

 

6.2                               Specific Performance.  Company Stockholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur and that Parent would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages, in any federal court located

 

7



 

in the State of Delaware or in Delaware state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent is entitled at law or in equity. These injunctive remedies are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies Parent may have under Applicable Law.

 

6.3                               Stockholder Capacity.  Company Stockholder enters into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record or beneficial owner of the Subject Securities. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the rights and obligations of Company Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or in Company Stockholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust, or in any other capacity whatsoever.

 

6.4                               No Ownership Interest.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent or Merger Sub any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Subject Securities. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Securities shall remain vested in and belong to Company Stockholder.

 

6.5                               Assignment; No Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, by any of the parties without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Parent or Merger Sub may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to any wholly owned subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve Parent or Merger Sub of any of its obligations hereunder.  Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void.  Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as giving any Person, other than the parties hereto and their heirs, successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns, any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 

6.6                               Amendments, Waivers, etc.  Neither this Agreement nor any term hereof may be amended other than by an instrument in writing signed by Parent, Merger Sub and Company Stockholder.  No provision of this Agreement may be waived, discharged or terminated other than by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, discharge or termination is sought, except that this Agreement may be terminated as set forth in Article V.  No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

 

6.7                               Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given if delivered either personally, by facsimile transmission (with acknowledgment received) or by overnight courier (providing proof of delivery) to the parties at the following addresses:
