AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER AND REORGANIZATION (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of January 5, 2017, by and among ONCOGENEX PHARMACEUTICALS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Arrow”), ASH ACQUISITION SUB, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), ASH ACQUISITION SUB 2, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 2”; together with Merger Sub 1, “Merger Subs”), and ACHIEVE LIFE SCIENCE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

A.    The respective Board of Directors of Arrow, Merger Sub 1, Merger Sub 2 and the Company have each determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of their respective corporations and their respective stockholders for Arrow to acquire the Company pursuant to a plan and series of integrated transactions whereby (i) Merger Sub 1 shall merge with and into the Company (the “First Merger”) with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation in the First Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Arrow (the “Initial Surviving Corporation”) and (ii) promptly after the First Merger, the Initial Surviving Corporation shall merge with and into Merger Sub 2 (the “Second Merger” and, together with the First Merger, the “Mergers”) with Merger Sub 2 continuing as the surviving entity in the Second Merger as a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Arrow (the “Surviving Corporation”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

B.    For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Parties intend that the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code, (ii) the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, constitute an integrated plan described in Rev. Rul. 2001-46, 2001-2 C.B. 321, (iii) the First Merger and the Second Merger, taken together, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (clauses (i)–(iii), the “Intended Tax Treatment”) and (iv) this Agreement be a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368 of the Code and within the meaning of Treasury Regulation 1.368-2(g).

C.    The Arrow Board (i) has determined that the Mergers and the issuance of shares of Arrow Common Stock in connection with the Mergers is fair to, advisable and in the best interests of Arrow and its stockholders, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the issuance of shares of Arrow Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company in connection with the Mergers, and the other Contemplated Transactions and (iii) has determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the stockholders of Arrow vote to approve this Agreement and the issuance of Arrow Common Stock in the Mergers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and thereby approve the Contemplated Transactions.

D.    The Merger Sub 1 Board (i) has determined that the First Merger is fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of Merger Sub 1 and its sole stockholder, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the First Merger, and the other Contemplated Transactions and has declared this Agreement advisable and (iii) has determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the sole stockholder of Merger Sub 1 vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Contemplated Transactions.

E.    The Merger Sub 2 Board (i) has determined that the Second Merger is fair to, advisable, and in the best interests of Merger Sub 2 and its sole stockholder, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Second Merger, and the other Contemplated Transactions and has declared this Agreement advisable and (iii) has determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the stockholder of Merger Sub 2 vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Contemplated Transactions.


F.    The Company Board (i) has determined that the Mergers are fair to, advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) has approved this Agreement, the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions and has declared this Agreement advisable and (iii) has determined to recommend, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, that the stockholders of the Company vote to adopt this Agreement and thereby approve the Contemplated Transactions.

G.    It is expected that the issuance of shares of Arrow Common Stock to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the Mergers will result in a change of control of Arrow.

H.    In order to induce Arrow to enter into this Agreement and cause the Mergers to be consummated, each share of Arrow Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (as defined below) shall receive, prior to the Closing, one contractual contingent value right per share of Arrow Common Stock (each, a “CVR”) representing the right to receive contingent payments, if any, upon the achievement of certain milestones at the times and subject to the terms and conditions of the CVR agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “CVR Agreement”).

I.    In order to induce Arrow to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Mergers to be consummated, the officers and directors of the Company and certain stockholders listed on Schedule 7.5 hereto are executing support agreements in favor of Arrow concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Company Stockholder Support Agreements”).

J.    In order to induce the Company to enter into this Agreement and to cause the Mergers to be consummated, the officers, directors and certain stockholders of Arrow listed on Schedule 8.3 hereto are executing support agreements in favor of the Company concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Arrow Stockholder Support Agreements”).

At the Second Merger Effective Time, the bylaws of Arrow shall be the bylaws of Arrow as in effect immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time.

1.8    Directors and Officers.

(a)    From and after the First Merger Effective Time, the officers of the Company at the First Merger Effective Time shall be the officers of the Initial Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with the DGCL or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation or removal. From and after the First Merger Effective Time, the directors of the Company at the First Merger Effective Time shall be the directors of the Initial Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with the DGCL or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation or removal.

(b)    From and after the Second Merger Effective Time, the officers of the Initial Surviving Corporation at the Second Merger Effective Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation, until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with DGCL or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation or removal.

(d)    From and after the First Merger Effective Time, the officers of OTI (as defined below) at the First Merger Effective Time shall be as determined by the Selected Directors until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with DGCL or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation or removal. From and after the First Merger Effective Time, the directors of OTI at the First Merger Effective Time shall be as determined by the Selected Directors until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified in accordance with the DGCL or their earlier death, incapacitation, retirement, resignation or removal.

1.9    Effect of the First Merger on the Capital Stock of the Company.

(a)    At the First Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any further action on the part of Arrow, Merger Sub 1, the Company or any stockholder of the Company or of Merger Sub 1:

(i)    any shares of Company Capital Stock held as treasury stock or held or owned by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor; and

(ii)    subject to Section 1.9(c), each share of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (excluding shares to be canceled pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(i)) shall be converted solely into the right to receive a number of shares of Arrow Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio.

(b)    If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option or the risk of forfeiture under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company, then the shares of Arrow Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will, to the same extent, be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option or risk of forfeiture, and the certificates representing such shares of Arrow Common Stock shall accordingly be marked with appropriate legends. The Company shall take all actions that may be necessary to ensure that, from and after the First Merger Effective Time, Arrow is entitled to exercise any such repurchase option or other right set forth in any such restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement.

(c)    No fractional shares of Arrow Common Stock shall be issued in connection with the First Merger, and no certificates or scrip for any such fractional shares shall be issued. Any holder of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Arrow Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Arrow Common Stock issuable to such holder) shall, in lieu of such fraction of a share and upon surrender by such holder of a letter of transmittal in accordance with Section 1.12 and accompanying documents as required therein, be paid in cash the dollar amount (rounded up to the nearest whole cent), without interest, determined by multiplying such fraction by the Arrow Closing Price.

(d)    At the First Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the First Merger and without any action on the part of the Company or Merger Sub 1, each share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of Merger Sub 1 (“Merger Sub 1 Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Initial Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub 1 evidencing ownership of any Merger Sub 1 Common Stock shall, as of the First Merger Effective Time, evidence ownership of such share of common stock of the Initial Surviving Corporation.

(e)    If, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing, the issued or outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock or Arrow Common Stock shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change, the Exchange Ratio, to the extent necessary, shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change to the extent necessary to provide the parties hereto the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares or other like change; provided, however, that nothing herein will be construed to permit the Company or Arrow to take any action with respect to Company Capital Stock or Arrow Common Stock, respectively, that is prohibited or not expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable number of shares of Arrow Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(ii), but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to and subject to the requirements of the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the provisions of the DGCL becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the First Merger Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted at the First Merger Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable number of shares of Arrow Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(ii) in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares. The Company shall provide to Arrow prompt notice of any demands for appraisal or purchase received by the Company, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments related to such demands served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company. Arrow shall have the right to participate, at its own expense and not subject to reimbursement by the Company, in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Arrow (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), or as otherwise required under the DGCL voluntarily make any payment or offer to make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any claim or demand in respect of any Dissenting Shares. The issuance of shares of Arrow Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.9(a)(ii) (other than in respect of Dissenting Shares, which shall be treated as provided in this Section 1.9(f) and under the DGCL) shall not be affected by the exercise or potential exercise of appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights under the DGCL by any holder of Company Capital Stock.

1.10    Effect of the Second Merger on the Capital Stock of the Initial Surviving Corporation. At the Second Merger Effective Time, by virtue of the Second Merger and without any action on the part of the Initial Surviving Corporation or Merger Sub 2, (a) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub 2 issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Second Merger Effective Time shall remain outstanding as common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation and (b) each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall be canceled and shall not be converted into shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Immediately after the completion of the Second Merger, Arrow shall own all of the issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

1.11    Closing of the Companys Transfer Books. At the First Merger Effective Time: (a) all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall be treated in accordance with Section 1.9(a), and all holders of certificates representing shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as stockholders of the Company and (b) the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the

 

-6-


First Merger Effective Time. No further transfer of any such shares of Company Capital Stock shall be made on such stock transfer books after the First Merger Effective Time. If, after the First Merger Effective Time, a valid certificate previously representing any shares of Company Capital Stock, outstanding immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time (a “Company Stock Certificate”) is presented to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, such Company Stock Certificate shall be canceled and shall be exchanged as provided in Sections 1.9 and 1.12.

1.12    Surrender of Certificates.

(a)    On or within five (5) Business Days of the Closing Date, Arrow and the Company shall agree upon and select a reputable bank, transfer agent or trust company to act as exchange agent in the First Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). At the First Merger Effective Time, Arrow shall deposit with the Exchange Agent: (i) certificates representing the shares of Arrow Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.9(a) and (ii) cash sufficient to make payments in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.9(c). The shares of Arrow Common Stock and cash amounts so deposited with the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or distributions received by the Exchange Agent with respect to such shares, are referred to collectively as the “Exchange Fund.”

(b)    At or before the First Merger Effective Time, the Company will deliver to Arrow a true, complete and accurate listing of all record holders of Company Capital Stock at the First Merger Effective Time, including the number and class of shares of Company Capital Stock held by such record holder, and the number of shares of Arrow Common Stock such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.9 (the “Company Allocation Schedule”). Promptly after the First Merger Effective Time, Arrow shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to the Persons who were record holders of Company Stock Certificates immediately prior to the First Merger Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Arrow may reasonably specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Exchange Agent) and (ii) instructions for effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for certificates representing Arrow Common Stock. Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to the Exchange Agent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or Arrow: (A) the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a certificate representing the number of whole shares of Arrow Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.9(a) (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Arrow Common Stock pursuant to the provisions of Section 1.9(c)) and (B) the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.12(b), each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the First Merger Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive shares of Arrow Common Stock (and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Arrow Common Stock). If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Arrow may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the delivery of any shares of Arrow Common Stock, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an applicable affidavit with respect to such Company Stock Certificate and post a bond indemnifying Arrow against any claim suffered by Arrow related to the lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate or any Arrow Common Stock issued in exchange therefor as Arrow may reasonably request.

(c)    No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to Arrow Common Stock with a record date after the First Merger Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Company Stock Certificate with respect to the shares of Arrow Common Stock that such holder has the right to receive in the First Merger until such holder surrenders such Company Stock Certificate or an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.12 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

 

-7-


(d)    Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to holders of Company Stock Certificates as of the date 12 months after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Arrow upon demand, and any holders of Company Stock Certificates who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.12 shall thereafter look only to Arrow for satisfaction of their claims for Arrow Common Stock, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Arrow Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to shares of Arrow Common Stock.

(e)    Each of the Exchange Agent, Arrow, the Initial Surviving Corporation, and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of any Company Capital Stock such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld from such consideration under the Code or under any other applicable Legal Requirement; provided, however, that prior to making any such deduction or withholding, the applicable withholding agent shall provide notice to the affected recipient of the amounts subject to withholding and a reasonable opportunity for such recipient to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding tax. Such applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to request any reasonably appropriate Tax forms, including Form W-9 (or the appropriate Form W-8, as applicable) from any recipient of payments hereunder. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, and remitted to the appropriate taxing authority, 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.

(f)    No party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any Company Capital Stock or to any other Person with respect to any shares of Arrow Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

1.13    Further Action. If, at any time after the First Merger Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Initial Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Initial Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Company, then the officers and directors of the Initial Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Company, in the name of Merger Sub 1, in the name of the Initial Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action. If, at any time after the Second Merger Effective Time, any further action is determined by the Surviving Corporation to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of the Initial Surviving Corporation, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized, and shall use their and its commercially reasonable efforts (in the name of the Initial Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take such action.

There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Arrow, threatened or reasonably anticipated claims or actions against Arrow, any of its Subsidiaries, any Arrow trustee or any trustee of any Subsidiary under any worker’s compensation policy or long-term disability policy. Neither Arrow nor any Subsidiary thereof is party to a conciliation agreement, consent decree or other agreement or order with any federal, state, or local agency or governmental authority with respect to employment practices. Neither Arrow nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material liability with respect to any misclassification of: (a) any Person as an independent contractor rather than as an employee, (b) any employee leased from another employer, or (c) any employee currently or formerly classified as exempt from overtime wages. Neither Arrow nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action which would constitute a “plant closing” or “mass layoff” within the meaning of the WARN Act or similar state or local law, issued any notification of a plant closing or mass layoff required by the WARN Act or similar state or local law, or incurred any liability or obligation under WARN or any similar state or local law that remains unsatisfied. No terminations of employees of Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing would trigger any notice or other obligations under the WARN Act or similar state or local law.

(m)    Part 3.17(m) of the Arrow Disclosure Schedule lists all liabilities of Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries to any employee, that result from the termination by Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries of such employee’s employment or provision of services, a change of control of Arrow, or a combination thereof. Neither Arrow nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material liability with respect to any misclassification of: (a) any Person as an independent contractor rather than as an employee, (b) any employee leased from another employer, or (c) any employee currently or formerly classified as exempt from overtime wages.

(n)    Arrow has obtained a Form I-9 with respect to all of its current and former employees for whom such a form is required by law. Every Person who requires a visa, employment pass or other required permit to work in the country in which he is employed has produced a current employment pass or such other required permit to Arrow and possesses all necessary permission to remain in such country and perform services in that country.

(o)    With respect to each Arrow Employee Plan, Arrow has made available to the Company a true and complete copy of, to the extent applicable, (i) such Arrow Employee Plan, (ii) the most recent annual report (Form 5500) as filed with the Internal Revenue Service, if any (iii) each currently effective trust agreement related to such Arrow Employee Plan, (iv) the most recent summary plan description for each Arrow Employee Plan for which such description is required, along with all summaries of material modifications, amendments, resolutions and all other material plan documentation related thereto in the possession of Arrow, and (v) the most recent Internal Revenue Service determination or opinion letter or analogous ruling under foreign law issued with respect to any Arrow Employee Plan.

(p)    Except where non-compliance would not result in material liability, with respect to Arrow Options granted pursuant to the Arrow Stock Plans, (i) each Arrow Option intended to qualify as an “incentive stock option” under Section 422 of the Code so qualifies, (ii) each grant of an Arrow Option was duly authorized no later than the date on which the Grant Date by all necessary corporate action, including, as applicable, approval by the Arrow Board (or a duly constituted and authorized committee thereof) and any required stockholder approval by the necessary number of votes or written consents, and the award agreement governing such grant (if any) was duly executed and delivered by each party thereto, and (iii) each Arrow Option grant was made in material compliance with the terms of the Arrow Stock Plans, the Exchange Act and all other applicable laws and regulatory rules or requirements, including the rules of NASDAQ and any other exchange on which Arrow securities are traded.

(q)    To the Knowledge of Arrow, no Arrow Options, stock appreciation rights or other equity-based awards issued or granted by Arrow are subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A. To the Knowledge of Arrow, each “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” (as such term is defined under Section 409A(d)(1) of the Code and the guidance thereunder) under which Arrow makes, is obligated to make or promises to make, payments (each, a “409A Plan”) complies in all material respects, in both form and operation, with the requirements of Code Section 409A and the guidance thereunder. No payment to be made under any 409A Plan is, or to the Knowledge of Arrow will be, subject to the penalties of Code Section 409A(a)(1).

(r)    No Arrow Employee Plan is a “registered pension plan” as that term is defined in subsection 248(1) of the Tax Act.

(s)    All contributions or premiums required to be made by Arrow or its Subsidiaries under the terms of each Arrow Employee Plan, any collective bargaining agreement or by law have been made in a timely fashion in all material respects in accordance with applicable law and the terms of the Arrow Employee Plans and any applicable collective bargaining agreement, and Arrow does not have, and as of the Closing will not have, any actual or potential unfunded liabilities (other than liabilities accruing after Closing) with respect to any of the Arrow Employee Plans.

3.18    Environmental Matters. To the Knowledge of Arrow, since January 1, 2013, Arrow and OTI have complied in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws, which compliance includes the possession by Arrow or OTI, as applicable, of all permits and other Governmental Authorizations required under applicable Environmental Laws and compliance with the terms and conditions thereof, except where such failure to comply would not reasonably be expected to have an Arrow Material Adverse Effect.

3.19    Insurance.

(a)    Arrow has made available to the Company accurate and complete copies of all material insurance policies and all material self-insurance programs and arrangements relating to the business, assets, liabilities and operations of Arrow, OTI, and Merger Subs. Each of such insurance policies is in full force and effect and Arrow, OTI, and Merger Subs are in material compliance with the terms thereof. Other than customary end of policy notifications from insurance carriers, since January 1, 2013, neither Arrow nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any written notice regarding any actual or possible: (i) cancellation or invalidation of any insurance policy; (ii) refusal or denial of any coverage, reservation of rights or rejection of any material claim under any insurance policy or (iii) material adjustment in the amount of the premiums payable with respect to any insurance policy. There is no pending workers’ compensation or other claim under or based upon any insurance policy of Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries. All information provided to insurance carriers (in applications and otherwise) on behalf of Arrow and each of its Subsidiaries is accurate and complete. Arrow and each of its Subsidiaries have provided timely written notice to the appropriate insurance carrier(s) of each Legal Proceeding pending or threatened against Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries, and no such carrier has issued a denial of coverage or a reservation of rights with respect to any such Legal Proceeding, or informed Arrow or any of its Subsidiaries of its intent to do so.

(b)    Arrow has made available to the Company accurate and complete copies of the existing policies (primary and excess) of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by Arrow, OTI, and Merger Subs as of the date of this Agreement (the “Existing Arrow D&O Policies”). Part 3.19(b) of the Arrow Disclosure Schedule accurately sets forth the most recent annual premiums paid by Arrow and OTI with respect to the Existing Arrow D&O Policies.

No notification given to a Party pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall change, limit or otherwise affect any of the representations, warranties, covenants or obligations of the Party providing such notification or any of such Party’s Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Schedule or Arrow Disclosure Schedule for purposes of Section 8.1 or Section 7.1, as appropriate.

Section 5. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

5.1    Registration Statement.

(a)    As promptly as practicable after the date of this Agreement, the Parties shall prepare and Arrow shall cause to be filed with the SEC the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and Arrow, with cooperation by the Company, shall prepare and cause to be filed with the SEC the Registration Statement, in which the Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be included as a prospectus. Arrow covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, including any pro forma financial statements included therein, and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Arrow makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (and the letter to stockholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information provided by the Company for inclusion therein. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Registration Statement and the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff and to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after it is filed with the SEC. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to Arrow’s stockholders as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s Subsidiaries and such Party’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If Arrow, Merger Subs or the Company

 

-48-


become aware of any event or information that, pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Proxy Statement/Prospectus, as the case may be, then such Party shall promptly inform the other Parties and shall cooperate with such other Parties in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the Arrow stockholders.

(b)    Prior to the Second Merger Effective Time, Arrow shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals needed to ensure that the Arrow Common Stock to be issued in the Mergers (to the extent required) shall be registered or qualified or exempt from registration or qualification under the securities law of every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of Company Capital Stock has an address of record on the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that Arrow shall not be required: (i) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not now qualified; or (ii) to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

(c)    The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Arrow and provide, and require its Representatives to provide, Arrow and its Representatives, with all true, correct and complete information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries that is required by law to be included in the Registration Statement or reasonably requested from the Company to be included in the Registration Statement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be delivered to Arrow a letter of the Company’s independent accounting firm, dated no more than two Business Days before the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective (and reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Arrow), that is customary in scope and substance for letters delivered by independent public accountants in connection with registration statements similar to the Registration Statement.

5.2    Company Stockholder Written Consent.

(a)    Promptly after the date hereof (and in any no event later than 24 hours from the effectiveness of the Registration Statement), the Company shall obtain the approval by written consent, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, from Company stockholders sufficient for the Required Company Stockholder Vote in lieu of a meeting pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, for purposes of (i) adopting this Agreement and approving the Contemplated Transactions and (ii) acknowledging that the approval given thereby is irrevocable (the “Company Stockholder Written Consent”).

(b)    The Company agrees that, subject to Section 5.2(c): (i) the Company Board shall recommend that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to solicit such approval within the time set forth in Section 5.2(a) (the recommendation of the Company Board that the Company’s stockholders vote to adopt and approve this Agreement being referred to as the “Company Board Recommendation”) and (ii) the Company Board Recommendation shall not be withdrawn or modified in a manner adverse to Arrow, and no resolution by the Company Board or any committee thereof to withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Arrow shall be adopted or proposed.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.2(b), at any time prior to adoption of this Agreement by the Required Company Stockholder Vote, the Company Board may withhold, amend, withdraw or modify the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Arrow if, but only if the Company Board determined in good faith, based on such matters as it deems relevant following consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to withdraw, withhold, amend, or modify such recommendation would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirements; provided that Arrow receives written notice from the Company confirming that the Company Board has determined to change its recommendation at least two Business Days in advance of the Company Board Recommendation being so withdrawn, withheld, amended or modified in a manner adverse to Arrow.

 

-49-

(d)    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit the Arrow Board from taking and disclosing to the Arrow Stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a), Rule 14d-9, Item 1012 of Regulation M-A or otherwise complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 or Item 1012 under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that none of the following shall be deemed to be a Change of Arrow Board Recommendation: (i) a “stop, look and listen” or similar communication of the type contemplated by Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act, (ii) an express rejection of any applicable Acquisition Proposal and/or (iii) an express reaffirmation of the Arrow Board Recommendation.

(a)    From the First Merger Effective Time through the sixth anniversary of the date on which the First Merger Effective Time occurs, each of Arrow and the Surviving Corporation shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Second Merger Effective Time, (i) a director or officer of Arrow, OTI, the Company or its Subsidiaries, respectively or (ii) a covered person under an existing Arrow agreement which provides for similar indemnification obligations (collectively, the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of Arrow, OTI, the Company or its Subsidiaries, or was otherwise providing services to Arrow, OTI, the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the First Merger Effective Time, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL for directors or officers of Delaware corporations. Each D&O Indemnified Party will be entitled to advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation from each of Arrow and the Surviving Corporation, jointly and severally, upon receipt by Arrow or the Surviving Corporation from the D&O Indemnified Party of a request therefor; provided that any person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking, to the extent then required by the DGCL to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such person is not entitled to indemnification.

(b)    The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of each of Arrow, the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation shall contain, and Arrow shall cause the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Initial Surviving Corporation and the Surviving Corporation to so contain, provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the D&O Indemnified Parties than are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Arrow and the Company, as applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of six years’ time from the First Merger Effective Time in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of the D&O Indemnified Parties.

(c)    The Company shall purchase an insurance policy, with an effective date as of the Closing, which maintains in effect for six years from the Closing the current directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies maintained by the Company (provided that Arrow may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions that are not materially less favorable).

(d)    Arrow shall maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, with an effective date as of the Closing, on commercially available terms and conditions and with coverage limits customary for U.S. public companies similarly situated to Arrow.

(e)    In addition, Arrow shall purchase, prior to the Closing Date, following consultation with, and subject to the approval of, the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), a six-year prepaid “tail policy” for the non-cancellable extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of Arrow’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and Arrow’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case, for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six years from and after the Closing with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Closing with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are no less favorable than the coverage provided under Arrow’s existing policies as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer Arrow by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Closing (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby or in connection with Arrow’s initial public offering of shares of Arrow Common Stock).

(f)    Arrow shall pay all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.8 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.8.

(g)    The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Parties by law, charter, statute, bylaw or agreement, and shall operate for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the D&O Indemnified Parties, their heirs and their representatives.

(h)    In the event Arrow, the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Arrow, the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8. Arrow shall cause the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Corporation to perform all of the obligations of the Initial Surviving Corporation or the Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8.

5.9    Additional Agreements.

(a)    Subject to Section 5.9(b), the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate the Mergers and make effective the other Contemplated Transactions.

5.12    Tax Matters.

(a)    The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the First Merger, taken together with the Second Merger, to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take any actions or cause any action to be taken which would reasonably be expected to prevent the First Merger, taken together with the Second Merger, from qualifying, for the Intended Tax Treatment, including considering and negotiating in good faith such amendments to this Agreement as may reasonably be required in order to obtain such qualification (it

 

-53-


being understood that no Party shall be required to agree to any such amendment). The Parties shall report the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, in a manner consistent with such qualification. No Party shall take any action, or allow any affiliate to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to prevent any of the foregoing.

(b)    If there is a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code that the First Merger, taken together with the Second Merger, does not qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code, then the parties to this Agreement intend that, for federal income tax purposes that the First Merger was a qualified stock purchase within the meaning of Section 338 of the Code and the Second Merger qualified as a liquidation described in Section 332 of the Code.

(c)    The Buyer Parties covenant that none of the Buyer Parties nor any of their affiliates or a “related person” (as defined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e)(4)) with respect to the Buyer Parties (a “Related Tax Person”), nor any entity or arrangement that is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes and in which the Buyer Parties or a Related Tax Person is treated for federal income tax purposes as owning a direct or indirect interest, will, in connection with any of the transactions provided for herein (as determined for purposes of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-1(e)), redeem or otherwise acquire any of the shares of Arrow Common Stock transferred in connection with such transactions if such action would cause the First Merger taken together with the Second Merger to fail to qualify as a reorganization described in Section 368(a) of the Code. This Section 5.12(c) does not restrict, and may not be construed as restricting, any actions of the Buyer Parties or any Related Tax Person that are undertaken at least 24 months after the Closing; provided, however, that such Buyer Parties or Related Tax Person does not enter into a plan or enter into a binding commitment to take such action within 24 months of the Closing Date.

(d)    This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning Treasury Regulation Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a). The Parties shall treat and shall not take any tax reporting position inconsistent with the treatment of the Mergers as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code for U.S. federal, state and other relevant Tax purposes, unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code.

(e)    All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) imposed on the Company stockholders in connection with the transfer of such stockholders’ Company Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the Company’s stockholders when due, and such stockholders will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by any Legal Requirements. The Company’s stockholders shall provide Arrow with (i) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Arrow that such Transfer Taxes have been paid by such stockholders and (ii) a clearance certificate or similar documents which may be required by any Tax authority to relieve Arrow of any obligation to withhold any portion of the payments to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to this Agreement.

5.13    Legends. Arrow shall be entitled to place appropriate legends on the certificates evidencing any shares of Arrow Common Stock to be received in the Mergers by equityholders of the Company who may be considered “affiliates” of Arrow for purposes of Rules 144 and 145 under the Securities Act reflecting the restrictions set forth in Rules 144 and 145 and to issue appropriate stop transfer instructions to the transfer agent for Arrow Common Stock.

5.14    Directors and Officers. Arrow shall take all action necessary to cause the persons identified on Schedule 5.14 to be appointed as executive officers of Arrow as set forth in Schedule 5.14, effective upon the Closing.

5.16    CVR Distribution. Prior to the First Merger Effective Time, Arrow shall take all such steps as may be required to distribute the CVRs.
