For the avoidance of doubt, any shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to a Significant Employee Stockholder pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(ii)(B) that are not Holdback Shares shall be fully vested as of the Closing.
(iii)    all of the shares of Company Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time held by each Non-Dissenting Stockholder (other than Disregarded Shares) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive (following the surrender of the certificates representing such shares of Company Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 1.9):

As part of the Merger Consideration Certificate to be delivered to Parent pursuant to Section 1.3(b)(x), the Company shall deliver to Parent a schedule setting forth the full list of designations received from such Effective Time Holder prior to such date.
The amount of cash, if any, that each holder is entitled to receive at any particular time for the shares of Outstanding Capital Stock held by such holder or the shares of Company Capital Stock subject to Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options (as defined in Section 1.6(a)) or Outstanding Warrants (as defined in Section 1.6(e)) held by such holder (as the case may be) shall be rounded down to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating the cash amounts payable at such time for all shares of each class and series of Outstanding Capital Stock, all Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options and all Outstanding Warrants held by such holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued and if, after aggregating all shares of Parent Common Stock (including fractional shares) that would be issued hereunder to an Effective Time Holder, such aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock includes a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock, such Effective Time Holder shall instead receive, with respect to its Outstanding Capital Stock: (A) the number of full shares of Parent Common Stock determined by rounding down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent of Common Stock and (B) a cash payment equal to the product of (1) such fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock and (2) the Parent Common Stock Price.

(i)    The “Aggregate Exercise Price” shall be the aggregate dollar amount payable to the Company as purchase price for the exercise of all (1) Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options, (2) Outstanding In-the-Money Unvested Options that are assumed or replaced pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i), and (3) vested Outstanding Warrants.
(ii)    The “Closing Indebtedness Amount” means the aggregate amount of outstanding indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company, including indebtedness evidenced by bonds, debentures, notes or other instruments or securities (whether or not convertible into any other security), in each case as of the First Effective Time.
(iii)    The “Escrow Amount” means $[***].
(iv)    The “Escrow Contribution Amount” for each Effective Time Holder equals the product of (A) the Escrow Amount; multiplied by (B) such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share.
(v)    The “Exchange Ratio” means the fraction (rounded to the nearest 1/10,000) having a numerator equal to the Per Share Amount, and having a denominator equal to the Parent Common Stock Price.
(vi)    The “Expense Fund Contribution Amount” for each Effective Time Holder equals the product of (A) the Expense Fund Amount; multiplied by (B) such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share.
(vii)    The “Parent Common Stock Price” means $126.73, which represents the average of the daily volume weighted average prices of one share of Parent Common Stock for the ten consecutive trading days ending on the date that is one trading day immediately preceding the Agreement Date, as agreed by the parties hereto.
(viii)    The “Per Share Amount” shall be determined by dividing: (A) the sum of the Purchase Price plus the Aggregate Exercise Price, by (B) the sum of (without duplication): (1) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (including: (x) any such shares subject to issuance pursuant to Company Options and Company Warrants exercised or deemed exercised prior to the First Effective Time; (y) any such shares subject to issuance pursuant to any Company Preferred Stock and (z) any such shares of Company Common Stock that are Company Restricted Shares); plus (2) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that are issuable upon the conversion in full of all shares of Company Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time; plus (3) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock purchasable under or otherwise subject to Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options and Outstanding In-the-Money Unvested Options outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time; plus (4) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock vested as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time under Outstanding Warrants; plus (5) the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stuck subject to Company RSU Awards as of immediately prior to the First Effective Time.

12







(ix)    The “Pro Rata Share” for each Effective Time Holder shall be determined by dividing: (A) the total Merger Consideration payable or issuable to such Effective Time Holder pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(ii)(A)-(B), 1.5(a)(iii)(A)-(B) and 1.6(e), as the case may be (without regard to whether such Merger Consideration is contributed by such Effective Time Holder to the Escrow Fund or Expense Fund Amount) (it being understood that Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the Parent Common Stock Price for such purposes); by (B) the total Merger Consideration payable or issuable to all Effective Time Holders pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(ii)(A)-(B), 1.5(a)(iii)(A)-(B) and 1.6(e), as the case may be (without regard to whether such Merger Consideration is contributed by the Effective Time Holders to the Escrow Fund or Expense Fund) (it being understood that Parent Common Stock shall be valued at the Parent Common Stock Price for such purposes).
(x)    The “Purchase Price” shall be: (A) $1,050,000,000; minus (B) the Closing Indebtedness Amount; minus (C) the aggregate amount of all Company Transaction Expenses unpaid as of the First Effective Time; plus (D) the Unrestricted Cash Amount (it being understood that all amounts used in calculating the Purchase Price shall be based on the corresponding amounts set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate, as finally determined in accordance with Section 1.7).
(d)    Escrow Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at the Closing, Parent shall withhold from the Purchase Price payable or issuable pursuant hereto and deposit into an escrow account with U.S. Bank National Association (the “Escrow Agent”), to secure the indemnification obligations of the Effective Time Holders under Sections 6 and 10 of this Agreement, an amount equal to the Escrow Amount, which amount shall be comprised of cash and shares of Parent Common Stock, with the shares of Parent Common Stock valued at the Parent Common Stock Price (the “Escrow Fund”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the shares of Parent Common Stock withheld and deposited into the Escrow Fund with respect to the shares of Company Common Stock held by the Significant Employee Stockholders shall be withheld from shares of Parent Common Stock that are vested as of the Closing and not from the Holdback Shares; provided that to the extent such shares of Parent Common Stock are less than the amount required to be contributed to the Escrow Fund with respect to a Significant Employee Stockholder’s Merger Consideration, the shortfall shall be withheld from the cash Merger Consideration payable to such Significant Employee Stockholder and deposited into the Escrow Fund. The Escrow Fund shall be held by the Escrow Agent and disbursed by it solely for the purposes and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the provisions of the escrow agreement to be entered into among Parent, the Securityholders’ Agent and the Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F to this Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). The terms and provisions of the Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby are specific terms of the Mergers, and the approval and adoption of this Agreement and approval of the Mergers by the Effective Time Holders pursuant to written consents evidencing the Required Merger Stockholder Votes and Releases, the Warrant Surrender Agreements and the Letters of Transmittal shall constitute approval by such Effective Time Holders, as specific terms of the Mergers, and the irrevocable agreement of such Effective Time Holders to be bound by and comply with, the Escrow Agreement and all of the arrangements and provisions of this Agreement relating thereto, including the deposit of the Escrow Amount into escrow and the indemnification obligations set forth in Sections 6 and 10 hereof.
(e)    Adjustments. In calculating the consideration payable or issuable under this Section 1.5, Parent shall be entitled to rely on the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.3, the Company Closing Certificate and the Merger Consideration Certificate. In the event that the Company or Parent, at any time or from time to time between the Agreement Date and the First Effective Time, declares

13







or pays any dividend on Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock, respectively, payable in Company Capital Stock Parent Common Stock, respectively, or in any right to acquire Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock, or effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock, or in the event the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Company Capital Stock or Parent Common Stock, or a record date with respect to any of the foregoing shall occur during such period, then the amounts payable or issuable in respect of shares of Outstanding Capital Stock pursuant to this Section 1.5 and the amounts payable or issuable in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock subject to Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options and Outstanding Warrants pursuant to Section 1.6 shall be appropriately adjusted.
(f)    Unaccredited Investors. Any Effective Time Holder that is not listed on Schedule 1.3(b)(xxi) may deliver to Parent an Accredited Investor Questionnaire no later than ten days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5 or otherwise in this Agreement, in no event shall Parent be required to issue any shares of Parent Common Stock to any Person (other than a Significant Employee Stockholder) (i) that does not timely provide a duly completed and executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire or (ii) that Parent has determined prior to the Closing, in its sole and reasonable discretion, is an Unaccredited Investor. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent may determine, based on applicable Legal Requirements, that a Person is an Unaccredited Investor regardless of whether such Person has timely completed an Accredited Investor Questionnaire. To the extent such Accredited Investor Questionnaire is not provided or Parent has made such determination regarding Unaccredited Investor status, Parent shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, inform the Company of such determination prior to the Closing and the Company shall indicate in the Merger Consideration Certificate that such Person is an Unaccredited Investor. To the extent any such Person would otherwise have been entitled to be issued shares of Parent Common Stock as consideration or otherwise under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Mergers, including without limitation any shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(ii) or 1.5(a)(iii), Parent shall be entitled, in its sole and reasonable discretion, to pay such amounts in cash (including by depositing cash in the Escrow Fund and Expense Fund with respect to such Person’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and Expense Fund Amount, respectively), rather than issuing shares of Parent Common Stock, with the amount of cash payable equal to the value of the shares of Parent Common Stock (having a value per share equal to the Parent Common Stock Price) that would have otherwise been issuable had such Person provided an Accredited Investor Questionnaire or not have been determined to be an Unaccredited Investor. To the extent any shares of Parent Common Stock otherwise issuable but for the provisions of this Section 1.5(f) would, when issued, have been subject to any vesting terms, acceleration terms, repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or other similar conditions, then any cash payable under this Section 1.5(f) in respect thereof shall have, and be subject to, such same terms and conditions as would have applied to such shares of Parent Common Stock had they been so issued; provided that Parent shall withhold the underlying cash amount at the Closing and, upon the satisfaction of any such vesting term, or the expiration of any such repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or similar condition, pay to the applicable recipient the amount of cash that corresponds to the satisfaction of such vesting term, or the expiration of such repurchase option or obligation, risk of forfeiture or similar condition, as applicable.
1.6    Treatment of Company Options, Company Restricted Shares and Company Warrants.  
(a)    Vested Options. Subject to Sections 1.5(e) and 1.9(h), at the First Effective Time, each Company Option that is vested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First

14







Effective Time (after giving effect to any vesting that is contingent upon the completion of the Mergers) (each, a “Vested Option”) shall be cancelled and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.6(a), for such Vested Options, an amount in cash equal to: (A) the Per Share Amount multiplied by the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Option held by such holder; minus (B) the aggregate purchase price for the exercise of the Vested Option with respect to all shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Option (it being understood that if the exercise price payable in respect of a share of Company Common Stock subject to such Vested Option equals or exceeds the Per Share Amount (an “Underwater Vested Option”), then the amount payable hereunder with respect to such Vested Option shall be zero). Each Vested Option, other than any Underwater Vested Option, is referred to in this Agreement as an “Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option”. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Plan or otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(a) and to ensure that, from and after the First Effective Time, each holder of a Vested Option cancelled as provided in this Section 1.6(a) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 1.6(a), if any, without interest.
(b)    Significant Employee Stockholders. Notwithstanding Section 1.6(a), Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options held by a Significant Employee Stockholder immediately prior to the First Effective Time shall be converted automatically into the right to receive:
(i)    an amount in cash equal to 60% of the product of (1) the amount by which the Per Share Amount exceeds the exercise price per share with respect to such Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option multiplied by (2) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option; and
(ii)    such number of shares of Parent Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock) equal to the quotient of (1) 40% of the product of (a) the amount by which the Per Share Amount exceeds the exercise price per share with respect to such Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option multiplied by (b) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option; divided by (2) the Parent Common Stock Price.
(c)    Unvested Options.
(i)    At the First Effective Time, each Company Option held by a Significant Employee Stockholder, Key Employee or Continuing Service Provider (x) that is unvested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the First Effective Time (after giving effect to any vesting that is contingent upon the completion of the Mergers) (each, an “Unvested Option”) and (y) that has an exercise price per share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option that is less than the Per Share Amount (an “Outstanding In-the-Money Unvested Option”) shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, and Parent shall either assume such Company Option or replace such Company Option by causing Parent to issue a replacement stock option to purchase Parent Common Stock in substitution therefor with substantially the same terms as such Company Option, subject to the remainder of this Section 1.6(c) (all Outstanding In-the-Money Unvested Options that are assumed or replaced pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) are hereafter referred to as “Substitute Options”). All rights to purchase shares of Company Common Stock under Substitute Options shall thereupon be converted into rights to purchase Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the First Effective Time: (A) each Substitute Option may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of

15







shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Substitute Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to such Substitute Option immediately prior to the First Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for a share of Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Substitute Option shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of a share of Company Common Stock subject to such Substitute Option, as in effect immediately prior to the First Effective Time, by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) any restriction on the exercise of any Substitute Option shall continue in full force and effect and, subject to Section 4.6, the term, status as an incentive stock option under Code Section 422 or a nonstatutory stock option and vesting schedule of such Substitute Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption or replacement of such Substitute Option; provided that (1) the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Substitute Options; (2) the Substitute Option shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan; (3) the Substitute Option will not be subject to a post-termination exercise period that is longer than the periods set forth in Sections 4.6.1, 4.6.2 and 4.6.3 of the Company Stock Plan, notwithstanding any Contract to the contrary; and (4) the Substitute Options will not be exercisable prior to the date on which they become vested. Each Unvested Option that is not a Substitute Option shall be cancelled for no consideration as of the First Effective Time.
(ii)    At the First Effective Time, each Outstanding In-the-Money Unvested Option held by any Person other than a Significant Employee Stockholder, Key Employee or Continuing Service Provider shall be cancelled, terminated and extinguished by the Company and the holder of each such Outstanding In-the-Money Unvested Option shall receive no consideration thereof.
(iii)    Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Plan and otherwise) to (I) effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(c) and (II) to ensure that, from and after the First Effective Time, holders of Unvested Options have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.6(c), if any.
(d)    Company Restricted Shares.
(i)    At the First Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share held by a Significant Employee Stockholder, Key Employee or Continuing Service Provider that is unvested and outstanding immediately prior to the First Effective Time (after giving effect to any vesting that is contingent upon the completion of the Mergers) shall be cancelled, terminated and extinguished by the Company, and Parent shall replace each cancelled Restricted Share Award by issuing a replacement restricted share of Parent Common Stock (“Parent Stock Award”), subject to the remainder of this Section 1.6(c) (each Restricted Share Award that is replaced pursuant to this Section 1.6(c) is hereafter referred to as a “Replaced Restricted Share Award”). The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Parent Stock Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to the corresponding Replaced Restricted Share Award immediately prior to the First Effective Time by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. Subject to Section 4.6, any vesting conditions that apply to any such Replaced

16







Restricted Share Award shall apply to the corresponding Parent Stock Award, subject to the terms of the agreement evidencing the Parent Stock Award and the equity incentive plan under which such Parent Stock Award is granted; provided that (1) the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Parent Stock Awards; and (2) the Parent Stock Awards shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan. Each Parent Stock Award shall be conditioned on the holder of such award (A) filing within 30 days after the First Effective Time a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to such Parent Stock Award and delivering a copy of such valid Section 83(b) election, along with proof of certified mail receipt, to the Parent, and (B) having filed a valid election under Section 83(b) of the Code with respect to the corresponding Replaced Restricted Share Award, and such Parent Stock Award shall be forfeited if either such condition is not satisfied.
(ii)    At the First Effective Time, each Company Restricted Share that remains unvested or subject to repurchase by the Company at the First Effective Time and is held by any Person other than a Significant Employee Stockholder, Key Employee or Continuing Service Provider shall be cancelled, terminated and extinguished by the Company and the holder of each such Company Restricted Share shall receive no consideration thereof; provided that the Company shall pay to such holder the holder’s original purchase price or exercise price at the First Effective Time and, for the avoidance of doubt, each such payment of the holder’s original purchase price or exercise price shall constitute a Company Transaction Expense.
(iii)    Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions that may be necessary (under the Company Stock Plan and otherwise) to (I) effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(c) and Section 1.5(a)(ii) and (II) to ensure that, from and after the First Effective Time, holders of Company Restricted Shares have no rights with respect thereto other than those specifically provided in this Section 1.6(c) and in Section 1.5(a)(ii).
(e)    Warrants. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause to be amended each agreement evidencing Company Warrants to purchase shares of Company Capital Stock (a “Company Warrant”) that is outstanding as of the Agreement Date (each such Company Warrant being referred to herein as an “Outstanding Warrant”; and each such amendment being referred to herein as a “Warrant Surrender Agreement”) to provide that each such Company Warrant shall be cancelled, terminated and extinguished as of the First Effective Time, and upon the cancellation thereof be converted into the right to receive, in respect of each share of Company Capital Stock then vested and subject to such Company Warrant immediately prior to such cancellation, termination and extinguishment, (A) an amount in cash equal to: (1) the Per Share Amount; minus (2) the Escrow Contribution Amount; minus (3) the Expense Fund Contribution Amount; minus (4) the exercise price per share of Company Capital Stock subject to such Company Warrant (it being understood that, if the exercise price payable in respect of such share of Company Capital Stock issuable under any Company Warrant equals or exceeds the Per Share Amount, the amount payable hereunder with respect to such Company Warrant shall be zero); plus (B) any cash disbursements required to be made from the Escrow Fund with respect to such share to the former holder of such Company Warrant in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, if, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; plus (C) any cash disbursements required to be made from the Expense Fund with respect to such share to the former holder of such Company Warrant in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if, as and when such disbursements are required to be made. Each Warrant Surrender Agreement shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, and the Company shall provide Parent with a copy of each Warrant Surrender Agreement promptly following its execution and in any event, prior to the Closing. The

17







Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure each holder of an Outstanding Warrant cancelled as provided in this Section 1.6(e) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 1.6(e), without interest.
(f)    Payment. Following the First Effective Time, Parent: (i) shall cause to be paid through the payroll services of the Company or Parent to each holder of an Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option (other than Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options with respect to which the Company has no Tax withholding obligations (“Non-Employee Options”)), following, in the case of each such holder of an Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Option, the delivery to the Surviving Company of a duly executed release in the form attached hereto as Exhibit L, the consideration specified in Section 1.6(a), without interest, less applicable withholding Taxes, in each case no later than the next administratively practicable payroll date following such delivery; and (ii) shall cause to be paid by the Payment Agent (as defined in Section 1.9(a)): (A) to each holder of a Non-Employee Option, following the delivery of a letter of transmittal substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-2, the consideration specified in Section 1.6(a), without interest and (B) to each holder of an Outstanding Warrant that delivers a duly executed Warrant Surrender Agreement to Parent, the consideration specified in Section 1.6(e), without interest.
(g)    Discretionary Assumption of Company Stock Option Plan. At the First Effective Time, Parent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume the Company Stock Plan or merge the Company Stock Plan into any equity compensation plan of Parent. If Parent elects to so assume or merge the Company Stock Plan, then, under the Company Stock Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Legal Requirements, using the share reserves of the Company Stock Plan as of the First Effective Time (including any shares subsequently returned to such share reserves as a result of the termination of Substitute Options), except that: (i) shares covered by such awards shall be shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) all references in the Company Stock Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii) the compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of the Company Stock Plan; and (iv) the Company Stock Plan shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan.
(h)    Ungranted Awards. Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall grant to each Person who is actively employed by the Company and holds an Ungranted Award a Company restricted share unit award (each, a “Company RSU Award”) subject to a form of Company restricted share unit award agreement and for a number of shares of Company Common Stock reasonably acceptable to Parent. At the Closing Date, each such Company RSU Award and the agreement evidencing such Company RSU Award will be cancelled and substituted by Parent with a Parent restricted stock unit award to be settled in shares of Parent Common Stock, subject to the remainder of this Section 1.6(h) (a “Substitute RSU Award”). The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Substitute RSU Award shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were subject to the corresponding Company RSU Award immediately prior to the Closing Date by the Exchange Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. To the extent a Company RSU Award otherwise would have vested on a particular date, the corresponding Substitute RSU Award shall vest on the Quarterly Vesting Date immediately following such vesting date. The compensation committee of Parent’s board of directors shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Substitute RSU Awards,

18







and the Substitute RSU Award shall be subject to administrative procedures consistent with those in effect under Parent’s equity compensation plan.
1.7    Purchase Price Adjustment.
(a)    Not later than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall provide Parent with an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Entities as of the open of business on the Closing Date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”).
(b)    Within 60 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall prepare and deliver to Securityholders’ Agent a statement (the “Statement”) setting forth a consolidated balance sheet of the Acquired Entities as of the open of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), its calculation of the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Unrestricted Cash Amount, and its resulting calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price.
(c)    During the 20 Business Day-period following the Securityholders’ Agent’s receipt of the Statement, the Securityholders’ Agent and its accountants shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the working papers of Parent relating to the Statement. The Statement shall become final and binding upon the parties on the 20th Business Day following delivery thereof, unless the Securityholders’ Agent gives written notice of its disagreement with the Statement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) to Parent before such date. Any Notice of Disagreement shall (i) specify in reasonable detail the nature of any disagreement so asserted and (ii) only include disagreements based on the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Unrestricted Cash Amount, or the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price not being calculated in accordance with this Agreement. If a Notice of Disagreement is delivered by the Securityholders’ Agent in accordance with the requirements of this Section 1.7 and Section 11.5, then the Statement (as revised in accordance with this sentence) shall become final and binding upon the Effective Time Holders and Parent on the earlier of (A) the date the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent resolve in writing any differences they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement or (B) the date any disputed matters are finally resolved in writing by the Accounting Firm. During the 20 Business Day-period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement, the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement. During such period Parent and its accountants shall have reasonable access, during normal business hours, to the working papers of the Securityholders’ Agent and the Securityholders’ Agent accountants prepared in connection with the Notice of Disagreement.
(d)    At the end of such 20 Business Day-period, the Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall submit to the Accounting Firm (as defined below) for resolution any and all matters that remain in dispute and that were included in the Notice of Disagreement. No later than 20 Business Days after Parent’s receipt of the Notice of Disagreement, Parent may prepare and deliver to the Securityholders’ Agent a reply setting forth alternative positions with respect to the issues raised in the Statement or the Notice of Disagreement (the “Reply”). The Accounting Firm shall not consider any issues not raised in the Statement, the Notice of Disagreement or the Reply. The “Accounting Firm” shall be KPMG LLP or, if such firm is unable or unwilling to act, such other nationally recognized independent public accounting firm as shall be agreed upon by Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent. The Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall jointly request that the Accounting Firm render a decision resolving the matters submitted to the Accounting Firm within 20 Business Days after such submission. In making its determination, the Accounting Firm shall not assign any value to any item comprising the Closing Indebtedness Amount, the Unrestricted Cash Amount,

19







or the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price that is less than the lowest amount attributed to such item by Parent or the Securityholders’ Agent or greater than the highest amount attributed to such item by Parent or the Securityholders’ Agent nor may the Accounting Firm determine or question the parties’ determination of any matter not properly included in the Notice of Disagreement. The Accounting Firm shall have full authority to resolve all issues relating to the adjustment of the Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.7 (including procedural, legal, factual and accounting issues). The Accounting Firm shall set forth its determination of all such issues in a written opinion, which shall be final and binding on the parties.
(e)    The cost of any arbitration (including the fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm and reasonable attorney fees and expenses of the parties) pursuant to this Section 1.7 shall be borne by Parent and the Effective Time Holders in inverse proportion as they may prevail on matters resolved by the Accounting Firm, which proportionate allocations shall also be determined by the Accounting Firm at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted. All other fees and expenses incurred by Parent or the Effective Time Holders in connection with the preparation, review or certification of the Statement or the Notice of Disagreement shall be borne by the party incurring such fees and expenses.
(f)    Adjustment Payments.
(i)    If the Estimated Purchase Price exceeds the Purchase Price as determined in accordance with this Section 1.7, then, within five Business Days after the Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall execute and deliver a notice in writing to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to release the entire amount of such excess, to the extent available from the Escrow Fund to Parent.
(ii)    If the Estimated Purchase Price is less than the Purchase Price as determined in accordance with this Section 1.7, then, within five Business Days after the Statement becomes final and binding on the parties, Parent shall pay the amount of such difference pro rata (i) to the Payment Agent for further distribution to the Effective Time Holders and Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options that are Non-Employee Options and (ii) through a Parent or Acquired Entity payroll account to the holders of Outstanding In-the-Money Vested Options (other than Non-Employee Options) as provided in Section 1.6(f).
(g)    Merger Consideration Certificate. No later than three Business Days after the Statement has become final and binding, the Securityholders’ Agent shall update the Merger Consideration Certificate to reflect any change to any amounts set forth therein that were based on estimates when such Merger Consideration Certificate was delivered at the Closing, which Merger Consideration Certificate, as so updated, shall thereafter be deemed to be the final Merger Consideration Certificate for all purposes of this Agreement.
1.8    Dissenting Shares.
(a)    Effect on Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock held by a holder who has demanded and perfected a demand for appraisal of such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or Chapter 13 of the CGCL (to the extent applicable) and as of the Closing has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such holder’s right to such appraisal (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL, or the CGCL, as the case may be. Parent shall be entitled to retain any Merger

20







Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and no other Person shall be entitled to any portion of such retained Merger Consideration.
(b)    Loss of Dissenting Share Status. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.8(a), if any holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who demands appraisal of such holder’s shares under the DGCL or the CGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to appraisal under the DGCL or the CGCL, then as of the Closing or the occurrence of such event, whichever occurs later, such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock shall automatically be converted into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, promptly following the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Company Capital Stock.
(c)    Notice of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent: (i) prompt notice of any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock received by the Company, withdrawals of any demands, and any other instruments or notices served or otherwise delivered pursuant to the DGCL or the CGCL and received by the Company; and (ii) the opportunity to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands for appraisal or other instruments or notices. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of shares of Company Capital Stock or offer to settle any such demands.
1.9    Exchange of Certificates and Payment.
(a)    Payment Agent. U.S. Bank National Association, or another nationally recognized bank or trust company selected by Parent shall act as payment agent in the Mergers (the “Payment Agent”). On or promptly after the First Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Payment Agent cash and shares of Parent Common Stock sufficient to pay the consideration payable or issuable pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(ii), 1.5(a)(iii) and 1.6(a) (excluding the Escrow Amount which shall be deposited with the Escrow Agent and any amounts paid pursuant to the last sentence of this Section 1.9(a) and the Expense Fund Amount which shall be deposited with the Securityholders’ Agent ). The cash and shares of Parent Common Stock so deposited with the Payment Agent is referred to as the “Payment Fund.” The Payment Agent will be instructed to invest the funds included in the Payment Fund in the manner directed by Parent; provided, that Parent shall bear the risk of loss associated with any such investments. Any interest or other income resulting from the investment of such funds shall be the property of, and will be paid to, Parent. The Company shall deliver Form W-9s (or other applicable form) for all holders of Non-Employee Options to the Payment Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Effective Time Holder who, at least three Business Days prior to the Closing, has delivered to Parent a Company Stock Certificate (or an affidavit of lost stock certificate as described in Section 1.9(e)), together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and any additional documents reasonably requested by the Payment Agent, Parent shall ensure that the Payment Agent initiates a wire transfer within two Business Days of the Closing Date representing the cash amount that such Effective Time Holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 and Section 1.6 in respect of such Company Stock Certificate, in each case less such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount and Expense Fund Amount, and, with respect to the Significant Employee Stockholders, the amounts withheld by Parent pursuant to Section 1.6(b).
(b)    Letter of Transmittal. Promptly following the First Effective Time, Parent shall instruct the Payment Agent to mail to each Person who is a record holder of Outstanding Capital Stock immediately prior to the First Effective Time (other than any Effective Time Holders who have delivered an executed Letter of Transmittal to Parent prior to the Closing): (i) a letter of transmittal substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H-1 (a “Letter of Transmittal”); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting

21







the exchange of Company Stock Certificates for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable or issuable with respect to such shares of Company Capital Stock. Upon the surrender to the Payment Agent of a Company Stock Certificate (or an affidavit of lost stock certificate as described in Section 1.9(e)), together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as Parent or the Payment Agent may reasonably request, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall, subject to Section 1.9(h), if applicable, be entitled to receive in exchange therefor an amount in cash and/or shares of Parent Common Stock, as applicable, equal to the Merger Consideration, if any, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.5 at the time of such surrender, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. From and after the First Effective Time, each Company Stock Certificate which prior to the First Effective Time represented shares of Company Capital Stock shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, if any, payable or issuable with respect to such shares, and the holder of each such Company Stock Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock formerly represented thereby.
(c)    Payments to Others. If payment or issuance of Merger Consideration in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock converted pursuant to Section 1.5 is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Company Stock Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment or issuance that the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment or issuance shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of such payment or issuance in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not payable.
(d)    Stock Transfer Books. As of the First Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall not be any further registration of transfers of shares of Company Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the First Effective Time, certificates for shares of Outstanding Capital Stock (“Company Stock Certificates”) are presented to the First-Step Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Company, as applicable, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable or issuable with respect to such shares as provided for in Section 1.5. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Merger Consideration payable or issuable upon the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate.
(e)    Lost Certificates. In the event any Company Stock Certificate representing shares of Outstanding Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment or issuance of any Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and indemnity (without the requirement of posting a bond) against any claim that may be made against the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Company or any affiliated party with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.
(f)    Undistributed Payment Funds. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed as of the date that is 180 days after the Agreement Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and the Effective Time Holders who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates or Company Warrants in accordance with this Section 1.9 or Section 1.6(e), respectively, shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration payable or issuable with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificates or shares of Company Capital Stock subject to Outstanding Warrants, in each case without any interest thereon.

22







(g)    Escheat. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor any other Person shall be liable to any Effective Time Holder or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar applicable Legal Requirement. Any Merger Consideration or other amounts remaining unclaimed three years after the First Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Body) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent free and clear of any Encumbrance.
(h)    Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent, the Company, the Merger Subs and the Surviving Company shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or issuable pursuant to this Agreement or any Warrant Surrender Agreement (including with respect to any amounts to be contributed to the Escrow Fund in accordance with Section 1.5(d)) such cash or shares as any such Person determines reasonably and in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom or in connection therewith under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Governmental Body, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
1.10    Parent Stock Target Shortfall.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or anything else to the contrary, in the event that a Parent Stock Target Shortfall (as defined below) would otherwise exist, the amount of Parent Stock Consideration and Cash Consideration shall be adjusted (as described in Section 1.10(b)), such that the Aggregate Parent Stock Consideration shall equal (as nearly as practicable, but in any event no less than) 40% of the Aggregate Stockholders’ Consideration. Accordingly, the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock (excluding any Holdback Shares and further excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Substitute Options, Parent Stock Awards and shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Outstanding In-the-Money Options) that shall be issued to the holders of Company Capital Stock in respect of their shares of Company Capital Stock (such number, the “Parent Stock Target”) shall equal no less than: (1) 40% of the Aggregate Stockholders’ Consideration; divided by (2) the Parent Common Stock Price, rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(b)    If the Parent Stock Target exceeds the Aggregate Parent Stock Consideration (such excess, the “Parent Stock Target Shortfall”), then: (1) the Parent Stock Consideration issuable to each holder of Company Capital Stock that is an Accredited Investor shall automatically (and without requiring any further action of the part of such holder) be increased by the Parent Stock Target Shortfall multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is Parent Stock Consideration issuable to such holder and the denominator of which is the sum of the Parent Stock Consideration issuable to all holders of Company Capital Stock that are Accredited Investors but are not Significant Employee Stockholders; and (2) the Cash Consideration of each holder of Company Capital Stock that is an Accredited Investor shall be correspondingly and automatically decreased.
1.11    Holdback Shares.
(a)    Each Significant Employee Stockholder’s Holdback Shares shall vest, in accordance with the applicable Holdback Agreement, as follows: (i) [***] of such Significant Employee Stockholder’s Holdback Shares shall vest on [***]; and (ii) [***] of the original amount of such Significant Employee Stockholder’s Holdback Shares shall vest on [***] until all of such Holdback Shares shall have vested.

23







(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.11(a) and except in the case of a Qualifying Termination, which is subject to Section 1.11(c), a Significant Employee Stockholder’s Holdback Shares shall cease vesting and shall be forfeited without any consideration immediately upon such Significant Employee Stockholder ceasing to be an employee of Parent, an Affiliate of Parent, or an Entity to which Parent assigns or transfers such Significant Employee Stockholder’s employment (as applicable, a “Parent Employer”).
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.11(a) or 1.11(b), in the event of a Qualifying Termination, a Significant Employee Stockholder shall become 100% vested in all then unvested Holdback Shares upon and subject to such Significant Employee Stockholder signing, and letting become irrevocable, a Significant Employee Stockholder Release, on or before the forty-fifth (45th) day following such Qualifying Termination (or such earlier or later day required by Parent and in accordance with applicable law). For purposes of this Agreement:
(i)    “Cause” means (a) a Significant Employee Stockholder’s [***]; (b) the Significant Employee Stockholder’s failure to comply with his obligations under any agreement executed by him in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including a Noncompetition and Nonsolicitation Agreement or any other employment-related agreement to which he is a party, [***]; (c) the Significant Employee Stockholder’s engaging in an act of [***]; (d) the Significant Employee Stockholder’s committing [***]; (e) the Significant Employee Stockholder’s engaging in any other [***]; (f) the Significant Employee Stockholder’s breach of the Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement executed by the Significant Employee Stockholder or other unauthorized misuse of Parent’s or a third party’s trade secrets or proprietary information, [***]; or (g) the Significant Employee Stockholder [***]. To claim a termination of the Significant Employee Stockholder for Cause, the Significant Employee Stockholder’s supervisor shall have delivered a written notice to such Significant Employee Stockholder of Parent’s belief that it has grounds to terminate the Significant Employee Stockholder for Cause, identifying in reasonable detail the acts or omissions constituting Cause and the provision of the Cause definition relied upon for the Cause termination.
(ii)    “[***]” has the meaning [***].
(iii)    “[***]” means [***].
(iv)    “Qualifying Termination” means [***].
1.12    Further Action. If, at any time after the First Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Company or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Merger Subs and the Company, the officers and directors or managers, as applicable, of the Surviving Company and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of the Merger Subs, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.
1.13    Restrictive Legend. Each certificate representing the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued for shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement shall bear the following or a similar legend:
“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY 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

24







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.”

to the Agreement Date; (iii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company such that the condition in Section 7.2 would not be satisfied; and (iv) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 impossible or not reasonably expected to occur. No notification under this Section 4.3 shall be required with respect to matters consented to in writing by Parent pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 4.2 or the actual taking of actions contemplated by Part 4.2 of the Disclosure Schedule. The parties agree that for all purposes hereunder, (A) this Section 4.3 shall not be considered for purposes of determining whether the condition in Section 7.2 is satisfied, but rather any underlying breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company set forth in Article 2 shall be considered in determining whether the condition in Section 7.1 is satisfied and (B) the Company’s unintentional failure to give notice of any such occurrence as required pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall not be deemed to be a breach of the covenant contained in this Section 4.3, but instead shall (if applicable) constitute only a breach of the applicable underlying representation, warrant, covenant or agreement.
4.4    No Negotiation. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and the Company shall not authorize or permit, any of the Acquired Entities or any Representative of any of the Acquired Entities to: (a) solicit, initiate, seek, knowingly encourage, support or facilitate any inquiry, proposal, expression of interest or offer from, furnish any information to, or participate in any negotiations or discussions with, or entertain, consider or accept any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction; (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with, or provide any non-public information to, any Person (other than Parent or its Representatives) relating to or in connection with a possible Acquisition Transaction; or (c) entertain, consider or accept any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction. The Company shall as promptly as practicable (and in any event within 48 hours of receipt thereof) provide Parent with: (i) a written description of any expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction that is received by any Acquired Entity or by any of the Acquired Entities’ Representatives from any Person (other than Parent), including in such description the identity of the Person from which such expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer was received; and (ii) a copy of each written communication and a complete summary of each other communication transmitted on behalf of such Person or any of such Person’s Representatives to any Acquired Entity or any of the Acquired Entities’ Representatives. To the extent the Company is prohibited by a non-disclosure or confidentiality agreement entered into prior to July 14, 2019 from providing the information in clause “(i)” of the preceding sentence, the Company shall not be required to provide Parent with the identity of the Person from which such expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer was received, or the other details of such expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer, other than the economic terms.

The Company shall deliver to Parent, prior to the Closing Date, evidence that the Company’s board of directors has validly adopted resolutions to terminate each 401(k) Plan, unless Parent provides an Election Notice to the Company, and any other Acquired Entity Employee Plan that Parent timely requests to be terminated pursuant to this Section, as applicable (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to reasonable review and approval of Parent), effective no later than the date immediately preceding the Closing Date. In the event that the distributions of assets from the trust of a 401(k) Plan which is terminated is reasonably anticipated to trigger liquidation

67







charges, surrender charges, or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such terminated plan or upon any Company or plan sponsor, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent prior to the First Effective Time.

4.8    Resignation of Officers, Directors and Managers. The Company shall deliver to Parent, at or prior to the Closing, the resignation of each officer, member of the board of directors or managers (or similar body) of each Acquired Entity effective as of the First Effective Time, in form and substance satisfactory to Parent (it being understood that such resignations shall not constitute a termination of employment by such officer, director or manager).
4.9    D&O Indemnification and Insurance.
(a)    Prior to the First Effective Time, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (the “D&O Tail Policy”) for the Acquired Entities’ directors and officers in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and Parent, which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the First Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to, the insured persons than the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company.
(b)    Parent shall cause the Surviving Company, the Acquired Entities, and their respective successors to honor, in accordance with their terms, for a period of six years after the Closing Date, the indemnification obligations set forth in the Charter Documents, each as in effect as of the Agreement Date and made available to Parent, and any indemnification agreements entered into prior to the Agreement Date between any Acquired Entity and any of its current or former directors and officers, on forms which have been made available to Parent.
4.10    Payoff Letters and Invoices; Estimated Merger Consideration Certificate.
(a)    At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall, to the extent applicable, deliver to Parent an accurate and complete copy of: (a) one or more payoff letters, each dated no more than five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, with respect to all outstanding

(b)    At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent an estimated Merger Consideration Certificate, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and setting forth the information required by Section 1.3(b)(x) on an accompanying spreadsheet in support of the calculation of the amounts set forth in the estimated Merger Consideration Certificate.
(c)    Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall limit any rights of any Parent Indemnitee as set forth in Section 10.
4.11    Employment Agreements and Termination of Non-Continuing Employees. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Continuing Service Providers to execute, prior to the Closing Date, an employment agreement or offer letter (or an amendment or other change to each such employee’s terms and conditions of employment with the Acquired Entities) provided by Parent, and any applicable exhibits to such Employment Agreements, including an employee invention assignment agreement, in each case, subject to and in accordance with Section 5.6 (collectively, an “Employment Agreement”). Effective as of immediately prior to the Closing, the Company shall terminate, in compliance with applicable Legal Requirements, the employment of each employee of the Acquired Entities who are not Continuing Service Providers (each such employee, a “Non-Continuing Employee”). The Company shall be responsible for the payment of all final payments, salary and benefits and other remuneration, including, any severance, bonus, accrued vacation, payment in lieu of notice period and vacation pay or other payments or amounts, due to Non-Continuing Employees, whether under Legal Requirements or Contract (the “Non-Continuing Employee Compensation”) with respect to their services as employees of the Acquired Entities and the termination of their employment, and all such payments shall be made to each Non-Continuing Employee prior to the Closing Date to the extent already earned and be considered Company Transaction Expenses. Without limiting the generality of Section 4.1, the Company shall provide Parent with reasonable access to the Continuing Service Providers during normal working hours following the Agreement Date.  Within 10 Business Days following the Agreement Date, Parent shall deliver Schedule 4.11 in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, which shall be appended to this Agreement.
4.12    Transferring Employees.
(a)    The parties acknowledge that, immediately following the Closing, Parent intends to transfer the contracts of employment of the Acquired Entity Service Providers employed in the Automatic Transfer Countries from the applicable Acquired Entity to the applicable Parent Employer and that such transfer will constitute a relevant transfer for the purposes of the applicable Transfer Regulations. The Company also acknowledges that, during the Pre-Closing Period, Parent intends to offer new employment agreements to the Acquired Entity Service Providers employed in the Automatic Transfer Countries, Poland and Australia (together, the “Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers”), such employment agreements to: (i) be offered by the applicable Parent Employer (save that in Poland such new employment agreements will be offered with respect to the applicable Acquired Entity), and (ii) take effect on the Closing Date. The parties therefore acknowledge that the applicable Acquired Entity and Parent Employer will have information and/or consultation obligations with respect to the Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers under the Transfer Regulations and/or applicable local labor Legal Requirements that must be satisfied prior to the Closing. Parent proposes to satisfy such obligations through an information and/or consultation process with

69







the Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers that will take place during the Pre-Closing Period (the “Service Provider Consultation Process”) as part of the Parent’s integration planning activities. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall cause the applicable Acquired Entities to cooperate with the Service Provider Consultation Process in accordance with Section 4.12(b).
(b)    The Company undertakes to Parent that, to the extent necessary to satisfy the Service Provider Consultation Process, it shall cause the applicable Acquired Entities to use commercially reasonable efforts to: (a) comply in all material respects with their obligations to provide information to the applicable Parent Employers under the Transfer Regulations, or as otherwise directed to provide information on the Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers by Parent or applicable Parent Employer; (b) comply in all material respects with any information and/or consultation requirements under the Transfer Regulations and/or applicable labor Legal Requirements (and to provide Parent with such information as Parent may reasonably request in writing in order to verify such compliance); (c) provide such access to the Company’s or Acquired Entity’s sites and to the Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers directly as Parent or applicable Parent Employer may reasonably request; (d) send, deliver, or publish to the Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers any document or communication as reasonably requested by Parent or the applicable Parent Employer; (e) reasonably require appropriate Company or Acquired Entity personnel to attend (with travel, at Parent’s expense, if necessary) any collective or individual meetings with Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers; and (f) take any other step or action reasonably considered necessary by Parent or the applicable Parent Employer.
(c)    To the extent necessary to satisfy the Service Provider Consultation Process, the Company shall, and shall cause any Acquired Entity to, on request by Parent or a Parent Employer and at Parent’s expense, provide to Parent or applicable Parent Employer such information or documents as Parent or applicable Parent Employer may reasonably require relating to the terms of employment, pension and life assurance arrangements, health benefits, welfare or any other matter concerning any of the Pre-Closing Consultation Service Providers or any trade union, employee representative or body of employees or their representatives or relating to collective agreements or collective or individual grievances in the Pre-Closing Period (on a limited basis to individuals within the Parent’s or Parent Employer’s HR and/or legal divisions to the extent that such information is considered to be competitively sensitive).
4.13    Websites. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall take the actions set forth on Schedule 4.13 with respect to the Acquired Entity Web Sites.
4.14    FIRPTA Matters. At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent the (a) FIRPTA Statement and (b) FIRPTA Notification. Parent shall be authorized to file with the Internal Revenue Service on behalf of the Company the FIRPTA Notification provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 4.14.
4.15    Export Control Remediation Procedures. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) implement internal processes reasonably satisfactory to Parent to comply with the Export Control Laws, including without limitation to screen its customers, vendors/suppliers, and other Persons with which it does business to confirm they are not Restricted Parties, and to prevent access to or downloads from the Acquired Entity Web Sites by Restricted Parties or Persons from Restricted Countries through blocking of IP addresses in these jurisdictions or through similar means; and (ii) file in the Company’s name voluntary self-disclosures with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, the U.S. Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security, and/or any other Governmental Body that enforces the Export Control Laws, if the Parent has determined, in its sole and reasonable discretion, that any of the Acquired Entities has committed any actual or apparent violations of the Export Control Laws

70







that merit disclosure to any such Governmental Body.  For the avoidance of doubt, an initial voluntary self-disclosure filed with a Governmental Body shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirement at the foregoing clause (ii), and the Acquired Entities shall cooperate with Parent in the preparation and filing of any such disclosures.
4.16    Assignments and Releases; PCI Compliance. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assignments and releases, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, duly executed by the Persons set forth on Schedule 1.3(b)(viii)(B). The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the manual processing by Company personnel of customer payment card information provided by customers over the phone or through the mail.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company and Parent shall, promptly after the Agreement Date (and, as to any premerger notification required under the HSR Act, in any event within [***] Business Days), prepare and file any notifications required under any applicable antitrust or competition laws or regulations in connection with the Mergers. The Company and Parent shall respond as promptly as practicable to any inquiries or requests received from any state attorney general, antitrust authority or other Governmental Body in connection with antitrust or related matters. Subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, Parent and the Company each shall promptly supply the other with any information which may be required in order to effectuate any filings (including applications) pursuant to (and to otherwise comply with its obligations set forth in) this Section 5.1(a). Except where prohibited by applicable Legal Requirements or any Governmental Body, and subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement, the each party shall: (i) cooperate with the other party with respect to any filings made in connection with the Mergers; (ii) permit the other party to review (and consider in good faith the views of such other party in connection with) any documents prepared for a Governmental Body before submitting such documents to any Governmental Body in connection with the Mergers; and (iii) promptly provide the other party with copies of all filings, notices and other documents (and a summary of any oral presentations) made or submitted by any party with or to any Governmental Body in connection with the Mergers.

Subject to Section 5.1(c), Parent and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to consummate the Mergers and make effective the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable, and in any event prior to the End Date. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to Section 5.1(c), each party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such party in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain each Consent (if any) required to be obtained (pursuant to any applicable Legal Requirement or Contract, or otherwise) by such party in connection with the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c)    Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.1(b) or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Parent nor the Merger Subs shall have any obligation

71







under this Agreement, and the Company shall not agree or commit (without the prior written consent of Parent): (i) to divest or agree to divest (or cause any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to divest or agree to divest) any of its respective businesses, product lines or assets, or to take or agree to take (or cause any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to take or agree to take) any other action or to agree (or cause any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates to agree) to any limitation or restriction on any of its respective businesses, product lines or assets; or (ii) to contest any Legal Proceeding relating to the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d)    Confidential Material. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Parent and the Company each may, as it deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any sensitive confidential materials provided to the other party under this Section 5.1 as “Counsel Only Material,” and such materials (and the information contained therein) shall be given only to the outside counsel for the receiving party dealing with regulatory approval matters, and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel to employees, officers, managers or consultants of the receiving party or any of its Affiliates unless express permission is obtained in advance from the disclosing party or its legal counsel, and each party may redact materials shared with the other party and/or the other party’s outside counsel (1) to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company, (2) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements, and (3) as necessary to address reasonable attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns, to the extent that such attorney-client or other privilege or confidentiality concerns are not governed by a common interest privilege or doctrine.
5.2    Stockholder Consent.
(a)    Information Statement. As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within five Business Days) after execution of this Agreement, the Company shall provide a draft Information Statement to Parent. As promptly as practicable (and in any event within two Business Days) following Parent’s approval as contemplated below, the Company shall, in accordance with its Charter Documents and applicable Legal Requirements, provide to its stockholders an Information Statement and other appropriate documents in connection with the obtaining of: (i) written consents of the stockholders of the Company in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and approval of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) waivers by the stockholders of the Company of their appraisal rights in connection with the Mergers. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such written consents and waivers from holders of all of the outstanding shares of each class and series of Company Capital Stock, and to obtain Joinder Agreements from each Effective Time Holder that did not execute a Joinder Agreement concurrently with the execution of this Agreement. The Information Statement shall: (A) include the unanimous recommendation of the board of directors of the Company in favor of the adoption and approval of this Agreement and the approval of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (B) notify the stockholders of the receipt by the Company of the Required Merger Stockholder Votes and their appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and Chapter 13 of the CGCL; and (C) comply with all applicable Legal Requirements (provided that the Company shall have no liability with respect to information furnished by Parent for use therein). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Information Statement and any other materials submitted to the Company’s stockholders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to prior review and reasonable approval by Parent and its advisors.
(b)    Parachute Payments. At least five days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall (i) secure from each “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code) who has a right to any payments and/or benefits as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated herein that would be deemed to constitute “parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section

72







280G of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 280G”)) a waiver of such individual’s rights to some or all of such payments and/or benefits (the “Waived Section 280G Payments”) applicable to such individual so that all remaining payments and/or benefits applicable to such individual shall not be deemed to be “excess parachute payments” that would not be deductible under Section 280G, and (ii) at least three days prior to the Closing Date, submit to its stockholders for approval, in accordance with the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the applicable rulings and regulations thereunder, the Waived Section 280G Payments, such that the deduction of such payments and/or benefits will not be limited by the application of Section 280G. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall inform Parent that either (x) the requisite Company stockholder approval was obtained with respect to the Waived Section 280G Payments, or (y) the Company stockholder approval of the Waived Section 280G Payments was not obtained and that, as a consequence, such Waived Section 280G Payments shall not be made or provided. The Company shall provide to Parent for its reasonable review and approval, at least five days prior to submission of the Waived Section 280G Payments to its stockholders for approval, copies of all documents prepared by the Company in connection with this Section 5.2(b), including the parachute payment calculations prepared by the Company and/or its advisors.
5.3    Reasonable Efforts. Prior to the Closing: (a) the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 7 to be satisfied on a timely basis; and (b) Parent and the Merger Subs shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 8 to be satisfied on a timely basis.
5.4    Enforcement of Stockholder Agreements. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to) enforce and shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to) terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision in any agreement between or among the Company, on the one hand, and any of the holders of Company Capital Stock, on the other hand, that requires such holders to cooperate with the Company in connection with the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including by requiring such holders to execute a Letter of Transmittal. In furtherance and not limitation of the foregoing, the Company will, if requested by Parent, exercise any of its rights under any Acquired Entity Contract prohibiting or restricting a holder of Company Capital Stock from raising any objection to the Mergers or exercising any dissenters’ rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with the Mergers.
5.5    Employee Matters.
(a)    Until the date that is [***] months following the Closing Date, Parent shall provide for all Significant Employee Stockholders, Key Employees and Continuing Service Providers who continue in service with the Company, Parent or one of their Affiliates following the Closing Date (collectively, the “Continuing Employees”) to be eligible for cash compensation that is no less than the aggregate annual base salary and annual target incentive compensation that each such Continuing Employee was eligible to receive immediately prior to the Closing Date while such Continuing Employee remains employed with the Company, Parent or one of their Affiliates; provided that Parent may cause such cash compensation to be reduced consistent with a reduction of the cash compensation for which other similarly situated employees of Parent and its Affiliates are eligible. For the avoidance of doubt, no Continuing Employee has the right to become or remain a Continuing Employee.
(b)    As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Parent shall grant to certain Continuing Employees restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in accordance with Schedule 5.5(b).

73







(c)    Parent shall cause the Continuing Employees to be offered participation in the health, welfare and other generally applicable benefit programs of Parent (subject to the terms of such programs) that in the aggregate are substantially equivalent to those applicable to employees of Parent in similar functions and positions on similar terms (it being understood that equity incentive plans and defined benefit pension plans are not considered employee benefits for purposes of this Section 5.6(c)). Parent shall cause service by a Continuing Employee with an Acquired Entity to be included for purposes of determining such Continuing Employee’s eligibility to participate in Parent’s health, welfare and other generally applicable benefit programs and for determining such Continuing Employee’s accrual rate of vacation or paid-time off benefits; provided, however, that no such crediting of service will result in duplication of benefits.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement (i) is intended to create an employment-related or service-related contract between Parent or an Acquired Entity and any Continuing Employee nor may any current or former Significant Employee Stockholders, Key Employees and Continuing Service Providers rely on this Agreement as the basis for any breach of any employment-related or service-related contract claim against Parent, an Acquired Entity or their Affiliates; (ii) shall be deemed or construed to require Parent, an Acquired Entity or their Affiliates to employ or continue to employ or engage any particular Continuing Employee for any period after the First Effective Time; (iii) shall be deemed or construed to limit the right of Parent, the Company or their Affiliates to terminate the employment or service of any Continuing Employee or terminate or amend in accordance with its terms any Acquired Entity Employee Plan, Contract or any other employment, compensation or employee benefit plan, program, arrangement or agreement at any time after the First Effective Time; (iv) shall be construed as establishing or amending any Acquired Entity Employee Plan, Contract or any other employment, compensation or employee benefit plan, program, arrangement or agreement; or (v) is intended to create any rights or obligations except between the parties to this Agreement and no current or former employee or consultant, no beneficiary or dependent thereof, and no other person who is not a party to this Agreement, shall be entitled to assert any claims hereunder.
5.6    Banking Transaction Reports. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall provide on a weekly basis upon the request of Parent, a report showing the daily banking transaction activity of the Acquired Entities’ bank accounts.
6.    TAX MATTERS
6.1    Liability for Taxes
(a)    Indemnification. From and after the First Effective Time, each Effective Time Holder shall, severally and not jointly, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, hold harmless and indemnify each of the Parent Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Parent Indemnitees for, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time by any of the Parent Indemnitees or to which any of the Parent Indemnitees may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) and that arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with: (i) any Taxes imposed on any Acquired Entity, or for which any Acquired Entity may otherwise be liable, as a result of having been a member of an Affiliated Group prior to the Closing Date (including Taxes for which any Acquired Entity may be liable pursuant to United States Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6 or similar provisions of state, local or foreign law as a result of having

74







been a member of an Affiliated Group and any Taxes resulting from any Acquired Entity ceasing to be a member of any Affiliated Group); (ii) any Transfer Taxes described in Section 6.1(b); and (iii) any Taxes imposed on any Acquired Entity, or for which any Acquired Entity may otherwise be liable, for any taxable year or period that ends on or before the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date (including any liability for any “net tax liability” (as described in Section 965(h)(6) of the Code)). For purposes of this Section 6.1(a), whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of any Acquired Entity for a Straddle Period, the determination of the Taxes of such Acquired Entity for the portion of the Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date shall be determined by assuming that the Straddle Period consisted of two taxable years or periods, one which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit of such Acquired Entity for the Straddle Period shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods on a “closing of the books basis” by assuming that the books of such Acquired Entity were closed at the close of the Closing Date; provided, however, that exemptions, allowances, deductions or Taxes that are calculated on an annual basis, such as property Taxes and depreciation deductions, shall be apportioned between such two taxable years or periods on a daily basis; and provided further, that any deductions attributable to the payment of any Company Option or Outstanding Warrant in accordance with Section 1.6 of this Agreement paid at or around the Closing Date shall be allocated to the period ending on or before the Closing Date and any deduction attributable to any other payment of a Company Option or Outstanding Warrant made after the Closing Date shall be allocated to the period after the Closing Date unless Parent determines otherwise. Whenever it is necessary to determine the liability for Taxes of an Acquired Entity that is a “United States shareholder” (within the meaning of Section 951(b) of the Code) of a “controlled foreign corporation” (within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code), amounts, if any, included in the income of such Acquired Entity under Section 951 or Section 951A of the Code with respect to any Straddle Period of such controlled foreign corporation shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods of such Acquired Entity by assuming that, for purposes of Section 951 or Section 951A of the Code, the Straddle Period of the controlled foreign corporation consisted of two taxable years or periods, one of which ended at the close of the Closing Date and the other of which began at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date, and taking into account any net operating losses, capital losses and other similar Tax attributes (to the extent that they existed during the applicable period) of the Acquired Entity that is the United States shareholder and are not otherwise taken into account in determining the income of such Acquired Entity; provided, however, that to the extent that any “subpart F income” (within the meaning of Section 952 of the Code) is actually included in the income of such Acquired Entity under Section 951 of the Code with respect to any Straddle Period, such “subpart F income” shall be allocated between such two taxable years or periods by applying Section 952(c) of the Code at the end of each such taxable year or period. Parent shall be entitled to any refund of, or credit with respect to, Taxes (including any interest related thereto) that results from the carryback of losses, credits or similar items from a taxable year or period that begins after the Closing Date and is attributable to any Acquired Entity. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in Section 10.3(a)-(b) shall not apply to the indemnification obligations under this Section 6.1(a).
(b)    Transfer Taxes. All real property transfer or gains, transfer, documentary, sales, use, excise, stock transfer, value-added, stamp, recording, registration and other similar Taxes, and any conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) (such amounts, the “Transfer Taxes”) imposed on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be borne by the Effective Time Holders.

6.2    Tax Returns.
(a)    With respect to Tax Returns required to be filed by, on behalf of, or with respect to, an Acquired Entity, the Company shall timely file or cause to be timely filed when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all such Tax Returns that are required to be filed on, or prior to, the Closing Date (subject to Parent’s right to review and consent to the filing of any such return pursuant to Section 4.2(17)), and the Company shall remit or cause to be remitted any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns. Parent shall file, or cause to be filed, when due (taking into account all extensions properly obtained) all other Tax Returns that are required to be filed by or with respect to an Acquired Entity; provided, that to the extent such Tax Returns relate to a tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, Parent shall provide such Tax Returns to the Securityholders’ Agent for review no less than 20 days prior to the due date for the timely filing of such Tax Returns, or if the due date is within 20 days of the Closing Date, as promptly as practical after the Closing Date and Parent will consider in good faith any reasonable comments made by the Securityholders’ Agent prior to the filing of such Tax Return. Any Taxes due in respect of such Tax Returns for which the Effective Time Holders are finally determined, in accordance with Section 10.5, to be liable pursuant to Section 6.1, shall be remitted to the applicable Acquired Entity or Parent in accordance with Section 10.5.
Except as otherwise required by applicable Tax law, all Tax Returns that an Acquired Entity is required to file or cause to be filed in accordance with this Section 6.2(a) (other than Tax Returns filed after the Closing Date that do not relate to a tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date) shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice and, on such Tax Returns, no position shall be taken, election made or method adopted that is inconsistent with positions taken, elections made or methods used in preparing and filing similar Tax Returns in prior periods (including positions, elections or methods that would have the effect of deferring gain or income to periods ending after the Closing Date or accelerating credits or deductions to periods ending on or before the Closing Date).
(b)     Each Effective Time Holder shall reimburse the Parent Indemnitees, severally and not jointly, for such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Taxes for which such Effective Time Holder is responsible pursuant to Section 6.1(b) or Section 6.2(a) and which have not yet been remitted by such Effective Time Holder pursuant to Section 6.2(a), upon written request setting forth in detail the computation of the amount owed by such Effective Time Holder. Each such reimbursement shall be made no more than 5 days after the date upon which such request was made. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set forth in Section 10.3 shall not apply to the reimbursement obligations under this Section 6.2, except that the final sentence of Section 10.3(d) shall apply. Alternatively, in lieu of payment of such Taxes by the Effective Time Holders, the Securityholders’ Agent may direct the Escrow Agent to reimburse Parent for the amount of such Taxes from the Escrow Fund.
6.3    Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of Securityholders’ Agent and Parent shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates to):
(a)    timely sign and deliver such certificates or forms as may be necessary or appropriate to establish an exemption from (or otherwise reduce), or file Tax Returns or other reports with respect to, Taxes described in Section 6.1(b) (relating to Transfer Taxes);
(b)    reasonably assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing in accordance with Section 6.2 and in connection therewith, and provide the other party with any necessary powers of attorney;

76







(c)    cooperate fully in preparing for and defending any audits of, or disputes with taxing authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of any Acquired Entity;
(d)    make available to the other party and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records and documents relating to Taxes of any Acquired Entity; and
(e)    furnish the other party with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such taxable period; provided, that Parent shall only be obliged to furnish copies of such correspondence to Securityholders’ Agent to the extent such audit or information request relates to Taxes for which the Effective Time Holders may be liable under the terms of this Agreement.
6.4    Termination of Tax Allocation Arrangements. Any Tax allocation, Tax indemnity or Tax sharing agreement between an Acquired Entity, on the one hand, and any Person (other than another Acquired Entity), on the other hand, shall be terminated as to the applicable Acquired Entity on or prior to the Closing, and after the Closing no Acquired Entity shall have any liability thereunder.

Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321 and qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

Prior to or following the First Effective Time, none of Parent, the Merger Subs, the Company or the Surviving Company shall, and they shall 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 Mergers 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.

77







(d)    Parent and the Company agree that the cash and shares of Parent Common Stock (including the Holdback Shares) payable or issuable to the holders of Company Capital Stock (including Significant Employee Stockholders) pursuant to Section 1.5 will be treated as received in exchange for the applicable holder’s Company Capital Stock, and agree to report such payments for income Tax purposes as consideration for such holder’s Company Capital Stock and not as compensation for services, unless otherwise required by a taxing authority in connection with a good faith resolution of a Legal Proceeding.

No claim made pursuant to this Section 6 shall be subject to the limitations in Section 10.3, except that the final sentence of Section 10.3(d) shall apply.

From and after the First Effective Time (but subject to Section 10.1), each Effective Time Holder shall, severally in accordance with their Pro Rata Share and not jointly (except with respect to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement from the Escrow Fund, for which the Effective Time Holders shall be severally and jointly responsible), hold harmless and indemnify each of the Parent Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Parent Indemnitees for, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time by any of the Parent Indemnitees or to which any of the Parent Indemnitees may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) and that arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

84







(i)    regardless of any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made after the execution of this Agreement on the Agreement Date, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty (without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation or warranty) made by the Company in this Agreement as of the Agreement Date (other than any representation or warranty that by its terms speaks as of a particular date or dates, which shall instead be tested as of such date or dates);
(ii)    regardless of any update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made after the execution of this Agreement on the Agreement Date, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company: (A) in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing (other than any representation or warranty that by its terms speaks as of a particular date or dates, which shall instead be tested as of such date or dates); or (B) in the Company Closing Certificate (in each case, without giving effect to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation or warranty);
(iii)    regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any inaccuracy in any information, or breach of any representation or warranty, set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate, including any failure to properly calculate the Company Transaction Expenses, the Purchase Price, the Aggregate Exercise Price, and the Per Share Amount, in each case, other than any amounts calculated, or agreed upon, in accordance with Section 1.7, which shall not be subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 10.2(a)(iii);
(iv)    any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company or the Securityholders’ Agent in this Agreement required to be performed prior to the First Effective Time (including any covenant described in Section 6) or any breach of any covenant or obligation of any Effective Time Holder or the Securityholders’ Agent in this Agreement required to be performed at or after the First Effective Time (including any covenant described in Section 6); provided, that in no event shall any Effective Time Holder have liability for Damages for any breach of any covenant or obligation by any other Effective Time Holder;
(v)    regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any claim asserted or held by any current, former or alleged securityholder of any Acquired Entity: (A) relating to this Agreement, any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, in each case, other than any claim to enforce a Person’s rights under this Agreement, any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, any other agreement entered into in connection with this Agreement, the Mergers or any of the other transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; or (B) alleging any ownership of, interest in or right to acquire any shares or other securities of any Acquired Entity that is not specifically disclosed in Part 2.3 of the Disclosure Schedule;
(vi)    regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any claim or right asserted or held by any person who is or at any time was an officer, agent, employee or member of the board of directors or managers (or similar body) of any Acquired Entity (against the Surviving Company, against Parent, against any Affiliate of Parent or against any other Person) involving a right or entitlement or an alleged right or entitlement to indemnification, reimbursement of expenses or any other relief or remedy (under the Charter Documents, under any indemnification agreement or similar Contract, under any applicable Legal Requirement or

85







otherwise) with respect to any act or omission on the part of such person or any event or other circumstance that arose, occurred or existed at or prior to the First Effective Time;
(vii)    the exercise by any stockholder of the Company of such stockholder’s appraisal rights under the DGCL or the CGCL, including all costs and expenses incurred by the Company or Parent in connection with any Legal Proceeding or settlement in connection therewith (it being understood that if a final determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares is made by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any such exercise of appraisal rights, then the only portion of such fair value to be included in calculation of the Damages incurred as a result of such exercise is the amount, if any, by which such fair value exceeds what otherwise would have been payable by Parent with respect to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 1.5 hereof had they not been Dissenting Shares);
(viii)    any Fraud;
(ix)    any loss of a deduction by Parent or any of the Acquired Entities pursuant to Section 280G, or the incursion by Parent or any of the Acquired Entities of Tax penalties and/or interest related to any failure to report or withhold excise tax amounts under Section 4999 of the Code, in each case as a result of (1) the provision of any payments and/or benefits as a result of or in connection with the Mergers or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (2) failure of any shareholder approval obtained with respect to the Waived Section 280G Payments to satisfy all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the applicable rulings and regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations, or any obligation of any Acquired Entity in effect prior to Closing to provide a “gross-up” or similar payment in respect of any Taxes that may become payable under Section 4999; and
(x)    any claim or Legal Proceeding relating to any breach or alleged breach or any other matter of the type referred to in any of clauses “(i)” through “(ix)” above, including any Legal Proceeding commenced by any Parent Indemnitee for the purpose of enforcing any of its rights under this Section 10.
(b)    Damage to Parent. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Company or any of the Acquired Entities suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Company or any of the Acquired Entities as a Parent Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Company or any Acquired Entity, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.
10.3    Limitations.
(a)    Basket; De Minimis. Subject to Section 10.3(b), the Effective Time Holders shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i), Section 10.2(a)(ii) or Section 10.2(a)(x) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement unless and until (i) the Damages relating to such inaccuracy or breach exceed $[***] and (ii) such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Parent Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Parent Indemnitees has or have otherwise directly or indirectly become subject, exceeds $[***] in the aggregate (the “Basket Amount”). If the total amount of such Damages exceeds the

86







Basket Amount, then the Parent Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the entire amount of such Damages, and not merely the portion of such Damages exceeding the Basket Amount.
(b)    Applicability of Basket. The limitations set forth in Section 10.3(a) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Effective Time Holder): (i) in the event of Fraud; (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations; (iii) to any of the matters referred to in Sections 10.2(a)(iii) through Section 10.2(a)(ix), inclusive; or (iv) to the matters referred to in Section 10.2(a)(x) (to the extent related to any of the matters referred to in clauses “(i)” through “(iii)” of this sentence).
(c)    Recourse to Escrow Fund. Recourse by the Parent Indemnitees to the Escrow Fund shall be the Parent Indemnitees’ first source of recovery for all monetary Damages under this Agreement or otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including Section 6.1(a) and this Section 10; provided that the foregoing shall not limit a Parent Indemnitee’s recourse under any agreement entered into by such Parent Indemnitee and an Effective Time Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Subject to Section 10.3(d), recourse by the Parent Indemnitees to the Escrow Fund shall be the Parent Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive remedy under this Agreement for monetary Damages resulting from the matters referred to in Sections 10.2(a)(i), 10.2(a)(ii) and Section 10.2(a)(x) (to the extent related to any of the matters referred to in Sections 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(a)(ii)), [***]. The indemnification rights of the Parent Indemnitees contained in Section 6.1(a) and this Section 10 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parent Indemnitees for any and all Damages under this Agreement and any certificate required to be executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise executed and delivered at the Closing. Accordingly, the Parent Indemnitees irrevocably waive any and all rights they may have to make claims against any Effective Time Holder under statutory and common law as a result of any monetary Damages incurred by the Parent Indemnitees under this Agreement whether or not in excess of the maximum amounts permitted to be recovered pursuant to this Section 10.
(d)    Applicability of Escrow Amount Cap. The limitation set forth in Section 10.3(c) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Effective Time Holder): (i) in the event of Fraud; (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations; (iii) to any of the matters referred to in Section 6.1(a) or Sections 10.2(a)(iii) through 10.2(a)(ix), inclusive; or (iv) to the matters referred to in Section 10.2(a)(x) (to the extent related to any of the matters referred to in clauses “(i)” through “(iii)” of this sentence); provided, however, that the Effective Time Holders shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(ii) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any IP Representation in excess of [***], which shall in no event exceed an aggregate of $[***] which, for the avoidance of doubt, such amount shall be inclusive of and not in addition to all Damages that the Parent Indemnitees may recover from the Effective Time Holders in connection with any claims for indemnification pursuant to Sections 10.2(a)(i) and 10.2(a)(ii) (other than with respect to breaches of the Specified Representations); provided, further, however, that any amounts recovered by the Parent Indemnitees from the Escrow Fund pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(ii) with respect to breaches of the Specified Representations, or pursuant to any of the matters referred to in Section 6.1(a) or Sections 10.2(a)(iii) through 10.2(a)(ix), inclusive or as a result of the matters referred to in Section 10.2(a)(x) (to the extent related to breaches of the Specified Representations or the matters referred to in Section 6.1(a) or Sections 10.2(a)(iii) through 10.2(a)(ix), inclusive), shall not count towards or reduce the amount that the Parent Indemnitees may recover with respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 10.2(a)(i) or Section 10.2(a)(ii). To the extent that the Parent Indemnitees are entitled to recovery under Section 6.1(a) or this Section 10 in excess of the Escrow Fund, the Parent Indemnitees shall not be entitled to recover amounts directly from the Effective Time Holders under Section 6.1(a) or

87







this Section 10 in respect of the indemnification obligations of the Effective Time Holders until such time as the Escrow Fund has been fully exhausted or the amounts contained therein are otherwise allocated to cover existing, unresolved indemnification, compensation or reimbursement claims that have been asserted pursuant to a valid Claim Notice. Subject to Section 11.3, the total amount of indemnification payments that each Effective Time Holder other than with respect to any Fraud [***] can be required to make to the Parent Indemnitees pursuant to Section 10.2 (in excess of the amount, if any, that was withheld from such Effective Time Holder as a contribution to the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms of Section 1.5(d), and paid to Parent or any other Parent Indemnitee out of the Escrow Fund) shall be limited to the portion of the aggregate Merger Consideration paid or payable or issued or issuable to such Effective Time Holder pursuant to Sections 1.5 and 1.6 (without regard to any Taxes deducted or to be deducted) (it being understood that any Parent Common Stock received by such Effective Time Holder shall be valued at the Parent Common Stock Price for such purposes).
(e)    Any claim for indemnification shall be calculated (i) net of the amount equal to any unaffiliated, third party insurance or contribution payments actually recovered by any Parent Indemnitee from an unaffiliated third party (net of any increase in insurance premiums, costs of recovery or collections, deductibles, retroactive or other premium adjustments, reimbursement obligations or other costs related to the insurance or contribution arrangement in respect of indemnification claims thereof); provided, however, that the foregoing in no way obligates any Indemnified Party to purchase or maintain any third party insurance policy or to seek recovery of any such insurance proceeds or contribution amounts from any Person (except for the obligation to maintain in effect the D&O Tail Policy and to pursue recovery thereunder), (ii) without regard to lost opportunities, and (iii) without regard to any punitive or speculative damages (unless such damages are awarded to a third party).
(f)    If and solely to the extent that an amount of Damages in connection with an indemnifiable matter was already included in the Closing Indebtedness Amount, Company Transaction Expenses, or Unrestricted Cash, in each case, actually used in the calculation of the Purchase Price, the same amount of such Damages may not be recovered under Section 6 or this Article 10. No Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to double recovery for any indemnifiable Damages, including under Section 6, even though such Damages may be indemnifiable under more than one provision of this Agreement.
10.4    No Contribution. Except as set forth under Section 4.9, each Effective Time Holder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Effective Time Holder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy against the Surviving Company or any Acquired Entity in connection with any Damages to which such Effective Time Holder may become subject under or in connection with Section 6 or Section 10 of this Agreement or any other agreement, document or instrument delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement in its capacity as an Effective Time Holder. Effective as of the Closing, the Securityholders’ Agent, on behalf of itself and each Effective Time Holder, and each Effective Time Holder expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Parent, the Surviving Company or any Acquired Entity.
10.5    Claim Procedures. Any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 6 or Section 10 shall be brought and resolved exclusively as follows:
(a)    If any Parent Indemnitee has or reasonably believes it has incurred or suffered, or reasonably believes that it is reasonably likely to incur or suffer, Damages for which it is or will be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 6 or this Section 10 or for which it is or may otherwise be entitled to a monetary remedy relating to this Agreement, the Mergers or

88







any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, such Parent Indemnitee may deliver a claim notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Securityholders’ Agent. Each Claim Notice shall: (i) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Parent Indemnitee’s claim; and (ii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Parent Indemnitee might be entitled (the aggregate amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by the Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).
(b)    During the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Securityholders’ Agent of a Claim Notice from a Parent Indemnitee (the “Dispute Period”), the Securityholders’ Agent may deliver to the Parent Indemnitee a written response (the “Response Notice”) in which the Securityholders’ Agent: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause “(ii)” or clause “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Securityholders’ Agent’s claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee, as the case may be. Any part of the Claimed Amount that is not agreed to be owed to the Parent Indemnitee pursuant to the Response Notice (or the entire Claimed Amount, if the Securityholders’ Agent asserts in the Response Notice that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee) is referred to herein as the “Contested Amount” (it being understood that the Contested Amount shall be modified from time to time to reflect any good faith modifications by the Parent Indemnitee to the Claimed Amount). If a Response Notice is not received by the Parent Indemnitee from the Securityholders’ Agent prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Securityholders’ Agent shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee.
(c)    If the Securityholders’ Agent in its Response Notice agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee, or if no Response Notice is received by the Parent Indemnitee from the Securityholders’ Agent prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then (i) Parent and Securityholders’ Agent shall, within three Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to the Parent Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund an amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Claimed Amount, which amount shall be paid in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the ratio of the value of the initial contribution of cash and Parent Common Stock deposited into the Escrow Fund; and (ii) if the amount held in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full Claimed Amount, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 10.3, each Effective Time Holder shall pay within 10 Business Days following the earlier of the delivery of such Response Notice or the expiration of the Dispute Period, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such deficiency to the Parent Indemnitee.
(d)    If the Securityholders’ Agent delivers a Response Notice to the Parent Indemnitee during the Dispute Period agreeing that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Parent Indemnitee (the “Agreed Amount”), then (i) Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall, within three Business Days following the delivery of such Response Notice, jointly execute and deliver to the Escrow Agent a written notice instructing the Escrow Agent to pay to such Parent Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund an amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Agreed Amount, which amount shall be paid in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the ratio of the value of the initial contribution of cash and Parent Common Stock deposited into the Escrow Fund; and (ii) if the amount held in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full Agreed Amount, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 10.3, each Effective Time Holder shall pay within 10 Business Days following the

89







delivery of such Response Notice, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such deficiency to the Parent Indemnitee.
(e)    If the Securityholders’ Agent delivers a Response Notice to the Parent Indemnitee during the Dispute Period expressly stating that there is a Contested Amount, the Securityholders’ Agent and the Parent Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Securityholders’ Agent and the Parent Indemnitee resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Securityholders’ Agent, the Effective Time Holders and such Parent Indemnitee, and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to such Parent Indemnitee (the “Stipulated Amount”) shall be signed by such Parent Indemnitee and the Securityholders’ Agent. Within three Business Days following the execution of such settlement agreement, or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in the settlement agreement, Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release to the Parent Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund (to the extent of the Escrow Fund) an amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to the Stipulated Amount, which amount shall be paid in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the ratio of the value of the initial contribution of cash and Parent Common Stock deposited into the Escrow Fund. If the amount held in the Escrow Fund is insufficient to cover the full Stipulated Amount, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 10.3, each Effective Time Holder shall pay within 10 Business Days following the execution of such settlement agreement, or such shorter period of time as may be set forth in the settlement agreement, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such deficiency to the Parent Indemnitee.
(f)    In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Claim Notice or Contested Amount (whether it is a matter between the Parent Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Securityholders’ Agent, on the other hand, or it is a matter that is subject to a claim or Legal Proceeding asserted or commenced by a third party brought against the Parent Indemnitee or any Acquired Entity), such dispute (a “Claim Dispute”) shall be settled pursuant to Section 11.9. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 10.5(f) shall prevent the Parent Indemnitee from seeking preliminary injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction pending settlement of any Claim Dispute. The judgment or decree of a court of a Claim Dispute shall be deemed final when the time for appeal, if any, shall have expired and no appeal shall have been taken or when all appeals taken shall have been finally determined unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties.
(g)    Promptly after the Expiration Date, Parent will notify the Securityholders’ Agent in writing of the amount that Parent determines in good faith is necessary to satisfy all claims for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement that have been asserted pursuant to a valid Claim Notice, but not resolved on or prior to 11:59 p.m. (Pacific time) on the Expiration Date (each such claim a “Continuing Claim” and such amount, the “Retained Escrow Amount”). Subject to Section 10.5(j), within 10 Business Days following the Expiration Date, Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund to the Payment Agent for distribution to the Effective Time Holders, an amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (i) the amount held in the Escrow Fund as of the Expiration Date (as reduced from time to time pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) minus (ii) the Retained Escrow Amount, with the amount to be paid in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the ratio of the value of the initial contribution of cash and Parent Common Stock deposited into the Escrow Fund, and each Effective Time Holder to receive a portion thereof equal to the product obtained by multiplying (A) the amount to be so released by (B) such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share.

90







(h)    Following the Expiration Date, after resolution and payment of a Continuing Claim, Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall, subject to Section 10.5(j), execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release from the Escrow Fund to the Payment Agent for distribution to the Effective Time Holders, an amount in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock with an aggregate value equal to (i) the amount held in the Escrow Fund as of the date of such resolution and payment minus (ii) the amounts that Parent determines in good faith to be necessary to satisfy other Continuing Claims (which amounts will continue to be held in the Escrow Fund), with the amount to be paid in cash and shares of Parent Common Stock consistent with the ratio of the value of the initial contribution of cash and Parent Common Stock deposited into the Escrow Fund, and each Effective Time Holder to receive a portion thereof equal to the product obtained by multiplying (1) the amount to be so released by (2) such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share.
(i)    For purposes of any amount to be released from the Escrow Fund in satisfaction of any Claimed Amount, Agreed Amount, or Stipulated Amount, the dollar value of a share of Parent Common Stock shall be deemed to be the Parent Common Stock Price, with the number of shares of Parent Common Stock to be released to a Parent Indemnitee rounded up to the nearest whole share.
(j)    With respect to any amount to be released from the Escrow Fund to the Effective Time Holders pursuant to this Section 10.5(j) or the Escrow Agreement:
(i)    if any former holder of Outstanding Capital Stock has not executed and delivered a properly completed Letter of Transmittal and surrendered such Effective Time Holder’s Company Stock Certificate in accordance with Section ‎1.9(b) (collectively, the “Payment Conditions”) prior to the delivery to the Escrow Agent of the applicable joint written instructions, then any amount that would otherwise be released to such Effective Time Holder shall be held by the Payment Agent, without interest, until such holder satisfies all of such Effective Time Holder’s applicable Payment Conditions;
(ii)    for purposes of Sections 1.5(a)(ii)(C) and 1.5(a)(iii)(C) only, amounts to be released from the Escrow Fund to be distributed to each Effective Time Holder shall be deemed to be the product of (A) the aggregate amount to be released from the Escrow Fund to the Effective Time Holders; multiplied by (B) each Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share (it being understood that the amounts referred to in this clause “(ii)” have been taken into account in determining each Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share, that no Effective Time Holder shall receive more than such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of any amount released from the Escrow Fund);
(iii)    each distribution to be made from the Escrow Fund to a particular Effective Time Holder shall be effected in accordance with the payment delivery instructions set forth in such Effective Time Holder’s Letter of Transmittal, with respect to amounts to be distributed in respect of such Effective Time Holder’s Outstanding Capital Stock; and
(iv)    all written instructions to be delivered to the Escrow Agent with respect to any distribution from the Escrow Fund shall be consistent with this Section 10.5(j).
10.6    Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Surviving Company, any Acquired Entity, Parent or any other Person) with respect to which any Effective Time Holder may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Section 10, Parent shall have the right, at its election, to proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding on its own

91







with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Securityholders’ Agent, and the Securityholders’ Agent shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not determine or conduct, the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding and Parent shall keep the Securityholders’ Agent reasonably apprised of any material development in such Legal Proceeding, and promptly provide to the Securityholders’ Agent copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to such claim or Legal Proceeding to the extent that receipt of such documents does not waive any privilege. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding:
(a)    subject to the other provisions of Section 10, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding (and all amounts due pursuant to any settlement, adjustment or compromise of such claim or Legal Proceeding) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Effective Time Holders;
(b)    each Effective Time Holder shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in such Effective Time Holder’s possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and
(c)    Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Securityholders’ Agent; provided, however, that if Parent settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Securityholders’ Agent, then such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Parent Indemnitee in connection with such claim or Legal Proceeding or that such Damages are indemnifiable hereunder (it being understood that if Parent requests that the Securityholders’ Agent consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Securityholders’ Agent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).
If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Securityholders’ Agent may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that the Securityholders’ Agent may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) such judgment, settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release from all liability with respect to the claim in favor of the Parent Indemnitees and (ii) the sole relief provided in connection with such judgment, settlement or compromise is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Effective Time Holders (including from the Escrow Fund) or any other relief that is enforceable only against the Effective Time Holders. Parent shall give the Securityholders’ Agent prompt notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against Parent, a Merger Sub or the Company; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Securityholders’ Agent shall not limit any of the obligations of the Effective Time Holders under this Section 10 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding).
10.7    Exclusive Remedy. From and after the First Effective Time, the rights to indemnification, compensation and reimbursement set forth in Section 6 and this Section 10 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parent Indemnitees with respect to any breach of this Agreement.
10.8    Exercise of Remedies Other Than by Parent. No Parent Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

92







10.9    Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. The parties agree to report each indemnification payment made in respect of any Damages as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for federal income Tax purposes unless the indemnified party determines in good faith that such reporting position is inconsistent with applicable Legal Requirements.
11.    MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
11.1    Securityholders’ Agent.
(a)    Appointment. By virtue of the adoption and approval of this Agreement, the Joinder Agreements and/or the Warrant Surrender Agreements, the Effective Time Holders irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Fortis Advisors LLC as the exclusive agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Effective Time Holders (the “Securityholders’ Agent”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of such Persons for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Securityholders’ Agent may, in the Securityholders’ Agent’s sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any other agreement, document or instrument referred to in or contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any transaction contemplated under this Agreement or any such other agreement, document or instrument, including with respect to, any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 10, the Escrow Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement. Securityholders’ Agent hereby accepts its appointment as Securityholders’ Agent.
(b)    Authority. The Effective Time Holders grant to the Securityholders’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such Persons (in the name of any or all of such Persons or otherwise) any and all documents that the Securityholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Securityholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement. The Securityholders’ Agent shall have no obligation to act on behalf of the Effective Time Holders, except as expressly provided herein, in the Escrow Agreement and in the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, and for purposes of clarity, there are no obligations of the Securityholders’ Agent in any ancillary agreement, schedule, exhibit or the Disclosure Schedule. All actions taken by the Securityholders’ Agent under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement shall be binding upon each Effective Time Holder and such Effective Time Holder’s successors as if expressly confirmed and ratified in writing by such Effective Time Holder, and all defenses which may be available to any Effective Time Holder to contest, negate or disaffirm the action of the Securityholders’ Agent taken in good faith under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement are waived. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) each Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Securityholders’ Agent on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 10 and under the Escrow Agreement; and (ii) each Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Effective Time Holder by the Securityholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any such Person by the Securityholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such Person.
(c)    Power of Attorney. The Effective Time Holders recognize and intend that the power of attorney and immunities and rights to indemnification granted to the Securityholders’ Agent

93







Group hereunder: (i) are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Securityholders’ Agent; (iii) shall survive the death, incapacity, dissolution, liquidation or winding up of each of the Effective Time Holders and shall be binding on any successor thereto; and (iv) shall survive the delivery of an assignment by any Effective Time Holder of the whole or any fraction of his, her or its interest in the Escrow Fund.
(d)    Replacement. If the Securityholders’ Agent shall die, resign, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Effective Time Holders shall (by consent of those Persons who contributed at least 50% of the Escrow Amount to the Escrow Fund), within 10 days after such death, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Securityholders’ Agent (who shall be an Effective Time Holder and shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Securityholders’ Agent as Securityholders’ Agent hereunder. If for any reason there is no Securityholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Securityholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Effective Time Holders. The immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Agent or any member of the Advisory Group and the Closing and/or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(e)    Limitation of Liability. Certain Effective Time Holders have entered into an engagement agreement (the “Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement”) with the Securityholders’ Agent to provide direction to the Securityholders’ Agent in connection with its services under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement (such Effective Time Holders, including their individual representatives, collectively hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholders’ Agent nor its members, managers, directors, officers, contractors, agents and employees nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Agent Group”), shall be liable to any Effective Time Holder for any action or failure to act in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholders’ Agent’s responsibilities hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, unless and only to the extent such action or failure to act constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(f)    Indemnification and Expenses. The Effective Time Holders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Securityholders’ Agent Group from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Securityholders’ Agent Expenses”) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Securityholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder, under the Escrow Agreement or under the Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement. Such Securityholders’ Agent Expenses may be recovered first, from the Expense Fund, second, from any distribution of the Escrow Fund otherwise distributable to the Effective Time Holders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Effective Time Holders. The Effective Time Holders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds 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 or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(g)    Reliance. The Securityholders’ Agent shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Merger Consideration Certificate, (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 Effective Time Holder or other party.

94







(h)    Expense Fund. Upon the Closing, Parent shall withhold from the Purchase Price payable pursuant hereto and wire to the Securityholders’ Agent $250,000 (the “Expense Fund Amount”). The Expense Fund Amount shall be held by the Securityholders’ Agent in a segregated client account and shall be used (i) for the purposes of paying directly or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Agent for any Securityholders’ Agent Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Securityholders’ Agent Engagement Agreement, or (ii) as otherwise determined by the Advisory Group (the “Expense Fund”). The Securityholders’ Agent is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice and shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Agent is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations. The Effective Time Holders will not receive any interest on the Expense Fund and assign to the Securityholders’ Agent any such interest. Subject to Advisory Group approval, the Securityholders’ Agent may contribute funds to the Expense Fund from any consideration otherwise distributable to the Effective Time Holders. As soon as reasonably determined by the Securityholders’ Agent that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Securityholders’ Agent shall distribute the remaining Expense Fund (if any) to the Payment Agent and/or Parent, as applicable, for further distribution to the Effective Time Holders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares.
11.2    Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
11.3    Fees and Expenses. Subject to Sections 1.5, 5.5 and 10, the Escrow Agreement, and the Registration Rights Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred or that are incurred in the future by such party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of: (a) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (b) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions; and (c) the consummation of the Mergers.
11.4    Attorneys’ Fees. If any action, suit or other Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement is brought against any party hereto, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (in addition to any other relief to which the prevailing party may be entitled).

Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received: (a) if delivered by hand, when delivered; (b) if sent by registered, certified or first class mail, the third Business Day after being sent; (c) if sent by overnight delivery via a national courier service, one Business Day after being sent, in each case to the address or facsimile telephone number, as applicable, set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number, as applicable, as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto); and (d) if sent by electronic mail or facsimile, on the date the electronic mail or facsimile is sent (if a Business Day, and if not sent on a Business Day, on the immediately following Business Day); provided, however, in the case of the foregoing clause “(d)”, any notice or other required or permitted communication provided via

11.8    Governing Law; Dispute Resolution.
(a)    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all respects by, the internal laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to principles of conflicts of laws).

Except as otherwise provided in the Escrow Agreement, Section 10.5 or in Section 11.7(c) any action, suit or other Legal Proceeding relating to this Agreement or the enforcement of any provision of this Agreement (including an action, suit or other Legal Proceeding based upon fraud) shall be brought or otherwise commenced exclusively in any federal or state court located in the County of San Francisco, State of California. Each party to this Agreement: (i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of and venue in each federal or state court located in the County of San Francisco, State of California (and each appellate court located in the County of San Francisco, State of California) in connection with any such action, suit or Legal Proceeding; (ii) agrees that each federal or state court located in the County of San Francisco, State of California shall be deemed to be a convenient forum; and (iii) agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise), in any such action, suit or other Legal Proceeding commenced in any federal or state court located in the County of San Francisco, State of California, any claim that such party is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that such action, suit or other Legal Proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such action, suit or other Legal Proceeding is improper, that challenges the application of the internal laws of the State of Delaware as set forth in Section 11.9(a), or that this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by such court.
(c)    Indemnification Claims. Any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 10 shall be brought and resolved exclusively in accordance with Section 10.5.

Following the Closing Date, Parent may freely assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including its indemnification rights under Section 10), in whole or in part, to any other Person without obtaining the consent or approval of any other party hereto or of any other Person; provided, that no such assignment will relieve Parent of its obligations hereunder.
11.10    Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative). The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by the Company or the Securityholders’ Agent of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement: (a) each of the Company and Parent shall be entitled, without any proof of actual damages (and in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to: (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to

97







enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (b) neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or Legal Proceeding.
11.11    Waiver. No failure on the part of any Person to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Person in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy, and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy. No Person shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Person, and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.
11.12    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
11.13    Amendments.

11.14    Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or set of circumstances, shall be determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11.15    Parties in Interest. Except for the provisions of Section 4.9 and Section 10, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any employee, creditor or other Person other than Parent, the Merger Subs, the Company and their respective successors and assigns (if any).
11.16    Confidential Nature of Information. Each party agrees that it will treat in confidence all documents, materials, data and other information which it shall have obtained regarding the other parties hereto during the course of the negotiations leading to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (whether obtained before or after the Agreement Date), the investigation provided for herein and the preparation of this Agreement and other related documents, and, in the event the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be consummated, each party will securely return to the other parties all copies of nonpublic documents, data and materials which have been furnished in connection therewith. Such documents, data, materials and information shall not be communicated to any third Person (other than, in the case of Parent or the Merger Subs, to their counsel, accountants or Affiliates, and in the case of the Acquired Entities and the Securityholders’ Agent, to their counsel or accountants). No other party shall use

98







any confidential information in any manner whatsoever except solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed Mergers; provided, however, that after the First Effective Time, Parent and the Company may use or disclose any confidential information related to any Acquired Entity or its assets or business. The obligation of each party to treat such documents, data, materials and other information in confidence shall not apply to any information which (a) is now or hereafter becomes generally known through no act or failure to act on such party’s part; (b) such party independently knows at the time of receiving such information, as evidenced by its written records; (c) a third party hereafter furnishes to such party without breaching any obligation of confidentiality and without restriction on disclosure; (d) such party has independently developed without use of confidential information or breaching this Agreement; or (e) is required to be disclosed under applicable Legal Requirements or judicial process, but only to the extent it must be disclosed.
11.17    No Public Announcement. Prior to the First Effective Time, neither Parent, the Merger Subs, Securityholders’ Agent nor any Acquired Entity (nor any of their respective Affiliates) shall, without the approval of each other party, make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that any party shall be so obligated by Legal Requirements or the laws of any stock exchange upon which the securities of such Person are listed, in which case such party shall first advise each other party thereof and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not preclude communications or disclosures necessary to implement the provisions of this Agreement. Following the First Effective Time, neither the Securityholders’ Agent nor any of its Affiliates shall make any press release or other public announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except as and to the extent that such party shall be so obligated by law, in which case such party shall advise Parent thereof and the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a mutually agreeable release or announcement to be issued.

11.18    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to herein set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, effective as of the First Effective Time, the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement dated May 15, 2019 between the Company and Parent is hereby terminated and shall be null and void and of no force or effect.
11.19    Disclosure Schedule. The Disclosure Schedule shall be arranged in separate parts corresponding to the numbered and lettered sections and subsections contained in this Agreement, and the information disclosed in any numbered or lettered part shall be deemed to relate to and to qualify only the particular representation or warranty of the Company set forth in the corresponding numbered or lettered section or subsection of this Agreement, except to the extent that (a) such information is explicitly cross-referenced in another part of the Disclosure Schedule, or (b) it is reasonably apparent on the face of the disclosure (without reference to any document referred to therein) that such information qualifies another representation and warranty of the Company in this Agreement. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty of the Company made in this Agreement, unless the applicable part of the Disclosure Schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity. The mere listing of a document or other item in, or attachment of a copy thereof to, the Disclosure Schedule will not be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made in this Agreement (unless the representation or warranty pertains directly to the existence of the document or other item itself).
11.20    Construction.

99







(a)    Gender; Etc. For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa, the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders, and the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders.
(b)    Ambiguities. The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
(c)    Interpretation. As used in this Agreement: (i) the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and (ii) the use of the word “or” shall not be exclusive.
(d)    References. Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections,” “Parts,” “Schedules” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement.
(e)    Dollar Thresholds. Any dollar amounts or threshold set forth herein shall not be used as a determinative benchmark for establishing what is or is not “material” or a “Material Adverse Effect” (or words of similar import) under this Agreement.
11.21    Consent to Representation; Conflict of Interest.
(a)    If the Securityholders’ Agent so desires, acting on behalf of the Effective Time Holders and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Acquired Entities, Parent, Merger Sub I or Merger Sub II, Fenwick & West LLP (“Fenwick”) shall be permitted to represent the Effective Time Holders after the Closing in connection with any matter, including any matter related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other agreements referenced herein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto; provided, that no such representation shall be a waiver of any attorney-client privilege between the Surviving Company, any Acquired Entity or any of their Affiliates on the one hand and Fenwick on the other, and Fenwick shall not take any actions or engage in any representation that would effect or be deemed to be such a waiver. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, Fenwick shall be permitted to represent the Effective Time Holders, any of their agents and Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Parent, the Surviving Company, any of the Acquired Entities, or any of their agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims or disputes arising under other agreements entered into in connection with this Agreement, including with respect to any indemnification claims; provided, that no such representation shall be a waiver of any attorney-client privilege between the Surviving Company, any Acquired Entity or any of their Affiliates on the one hand and Fenwick on the other, and Fenwick shall not take any actions or engage in any representation that would effect or be deemed to be such a waiver. Any representation of the Surviving Company, any Acquired Entity or any of their Affiliates after the Closing shall not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.
(b)    After the First Effective Time, Parent shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Company) not to, intentionally seek, obtain access to, or use any of the communications between Fenwick, on the one hand, and the Company, the Securityholders’ Agent or any Effective Time Holder, on the other hand, relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Client Communications”), including by intentionally searching, reviewing or accessing e-mail archives or other books and records of the Acquired Entities; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall prevent

100







Parent from seeking Client Communications in connection with discovery in any Legal Proceeding so long as such Client Communications would not be subject to attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege or protection if they were sought by an unrelated third party in a Legal Proceeding and such Client Communications would be required to be produced in response to such discovery.  After the First Effective Time, the Securityholders’ Agent shall be permitted to access and use the Client Communications in connection with any Legal Proceeding or potential Legal Proceeding against, with or involving Parent, the Surviving Company or any of their Affiliates or agents; and Fenwick, the Securityholders’ Agent and any Effective Time Holder may make any such Client Communications available to Fenwick or the Securityholders’ Agent, as the case may be; provided, that such use would not reasonably be expected to waive any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted against any unrelated third party to prevent disclosure of any Client Communications in a manner detrimental to Parent (other than in a de minimis, ministerial or administrative manner). Parent shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) not to, (i) assert ownership of the Client Communications, attorney-client privilege, attorney work product privilege or any other legal privilege or protection against Fenwick, the Securityholders’ Agent or any Effective Time Holder with respect to any Client Communications or (ii) use such Client Communications as evidence in any dispute with the Securityholders’ Agent or any Effective Time Holder in connection with any such claim for indemnification; provided that the foregoing clause (ii) shall not apply to any claim of an Indemnified Person based on Fraud.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.21 or in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any applicable privileges or protections that can or may be asserted to prevent disclosure of any Client Communications to any third party.
