Except as provided in the preceding sentence, all other costs and expenses incurred by the Parties in connection with resolving any dispute hereunder before the Accounting Firm shall be borne by the Party incurring such cost and expense. The Accounting Firm shall resolve each disputed item by choosing a value not in excess of, nor less than, the greatest or lowest value, respectively, set forth in the presentations (and, if applicable, the responses) delivered to the Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii). Such determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the Parties absent fraud or manifest error. The Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be revised as appropriate to reflect the resolution of any objections thereto pursuant to this Section 2.4(b)(ii), and, as so revised, such Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be deemed to set forth the final Net Working Capital, Cash and Cash Equivalents, Tax Benefit Amount, Closing Date Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses and Purchase Price, in each case, for all purposes hereunder (including the determination of the Actual Adjustment).

(iv) Buyer and Seller agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 2.4 for resolving disputes with respect to the Proposed Closing Date Calculations shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided, that this provision shall not prohibit either Party from instituting litigation to enforce any final determination of the Purchase Price by the Accounting Firm pursuant to Section 2.4(b)(ii) or to compel any Party to submit any dispute arising in connection with this Section 2.4(b) to the Accounting Firm pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 2.4(b), in each case, in any court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 9.14. The substance of the Accounting Firm’s determination shall not be subject to review or appeal, absent a showing of fraud or manifest error. It is the intent of the Parties to have any final determination of the Purchase Price by the Accounting Firm proceed in an expeditious manner; provided that any deadline or time period contained herein may be extended or modified by the written agreement of the Parties and the Parties agree that the failure of the Accounting Firm to strictly conform to any deadline or time period contained herein shall not be a basis for seeking to overturn any determination rendered by the Accounting Firm which otherwise conforms to the terms of this Section 2.4.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Adjustment Escrow Amount shall serve as the sole and exclusive source of recovery for any amounts owed to Buyer in connection with the final determination of the Purchase Price and Actual Adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(iii) Any amounts which are paid pursuant to this Section 2.4(c) will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all purposes hereunder, except as otherwise required by applicable Law.

ARTICLE 5

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (without limiting or modifying in any respect the conditions set forth in Section 7.3) as follows:

Section 5.1 Organization. Buyer is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now being conducted, except where the failure to have such power or authority would not prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

45


Section 5.2 Authority. Buyer has all necessary power and authority to execute and deliver each Transaction Document to which it is a party and to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. The execution and delivery of each Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of Buyer and no other proceeding (including by its equityholders) on the part of Buyer is necessary to authorize each Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party or to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby. No vote of Buyer’s equityholders is required to approve this Agreement or for Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Each Transaction Document to which Buyer is a party has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer and constitutes a valid, legal and binding agreement of Buyer (assuming that each such Transaction Document has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the other parties thereto), enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, except (a) to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) that the availability of equitable remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding thereof may be brought.

Section 5.3 Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller in Section 3.3 and Section 4.2, respectively, no notices to, filings with, or authorizations, consents or approvals of any Governmental Entity are necessary for the execution, delivery or performance of any of the Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party or the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated thereby, except for (i) compliance with and filings under the HSR Act and (ii) those set forth on Schedule 5.3. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of any of the Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party nor the consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated thereby will (a) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of Buyer’s Governing Documents, (b) result in a violation or breach of, or cause acceleration, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Buyer is or will be a party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound, or (c) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, Law, statute, rule or regulation of any Governmental Entity applicable to Buyer or any of Buyer’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective material properties or assets, except in the case of clauses (b) and (c) above, for violations which would not prevent or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby.

Section 5.4 Brokers. No broker, finder, financial advisor or investment banker is entitled to any brokerage, finder’s, financial advisor’s or investment banker’s fee or commission in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement based upon arrangements made by and on behalf of Buyer or any of its respective Affiliates for which Seller or any Group Company may become liable.

Section 5.5 Sufficient Funds. Buyer has, and will have on the Closing Date and at the Closing, sufficient cash available to make the payments required under Section 2.4 (including to pay the Purchase Price, any Funded Indebtedness, the Unpaid Seller Expenses and the fees

 

46


and expenses of Buyer related to the transactions contemplated hereby) and any other amounts incurred or otherwise payable by Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and there is no restriction on the use of such cash for such purposes. Buyer has the financial resources and capabilities to fully perform its obligations under this Agreement, and there is no circumstance or condition that, individually or in the aggregate with all other circumstances or conditions, could reasonably be expected to prevent or substantially delay the availability of such funds at the Closing. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are not subject to any conditions regarding its or any other Person’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 5.5 takes into account the Parent Guarantee.

Section 5.6 Acquisition of Equity For Investment. Buyer has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its purchase of the Shares. Buyer confirms that it can bear the economic risk of its investment in the Shares and can afford to lose its entire investment in the Shares, has been furnished the materials relating to the purchase of the Shares which Buyer has requested, and the Company has provided Buyer and its representatives the opportunity to ask questions of the officers and management employees of the business and to acquire additional information about the business and financial condition of the Group Companies. Buyer is acquiring the Shares for investment and not with a view toward or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, or with any present intention of distributing or selling such Shares. Buyer agrees that the Shares may not be sold, transferred, offered for sale, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of without compliance with applicable United States prospectus and registration requirements, except pursuant to an exemption therefrom under applicable United States securities Laws.

Section 5.7 Solvency. Buyer is not entering into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of the Group Companies. Buyer is Solvent as of the date of this Agreement and, assuming (a) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company in Article 3 and (b) the satisfaction of the conditions to Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, Buyer and each of the Group Companies (on both a stand-alone and on a combined basis) will, immediately after giving effect to all of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the payment of the Purchase Price, Funded Indebtedness, Unpaid Seller Expenses, all other amounts required to be paid, borrowed or refinanced in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all related fees and expenses, be Solvent at and after the Closing Date.

Section 5.8 Acknowledgment and Representations by Buyer. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it (i) has conducted its own independent review and analysis of, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the business, assets, condition, operations and prospects of the Group Companies, and (ii) has been furnished with or given full access to all information about the Group Companies and their respective businesses and operations as Buyer and its representatives and advisors have requested. In entering into this Agreement, Buyer has relied solely upon its own investigation and analysis and the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller set forth in this Agreement, and Buyer acknowledges that, other than as set forth in this Agreement and in the certificates or other instruments delivered pursuant hereto, none of the Group Companies or any of their respective

 

47


directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, equityholders, agents or representatives makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, (a) as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to Buyer or any of its respective agents, representatives, lenders or Affiliates prior to the execution of this Agreement and (b) with respect to any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of future revenues, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of any Group Company heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Buyer or any of its respective agents, representatives, lenders or Affiliates.

All of such information shall be treated as confidential information pursuant to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the provisions of which are by this reference hereby incorporated herein and Buyer agrees that it shall be bound by the Confidentiality Agreement to the same extent as Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corporation.

Section 6.3 Efforts to Consummate.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions herein provided, each of Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws and regulations to consummate and make effective as promptly as practicable the transactions contemplated hereby (including (i) the satisfaction, but not waiver, of the closing conditions set forth in Article 7 and obtaining consents of all Governmental Entities necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) using commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance in connection with any financing activities undertaken by Buyer or its Affiliates related to the transactions contemplated hereby, including providing Buyer and any of its lenders with customary diligence materials with respect to the Group Companies and comfort letters from Seller’s and the Company’s auditors with respect to the Financial Statements and any financial statements to be delivered at the Closing). The filing fees under any Antitrust Laws will be split equally between Buyer and Seller. Each Party shall make an appropriate filing, if necessary, pursuant to all applicable Antitrust Laws, including the HSR Act (which, in the case of the HSR Act, filing shall specifically request early termination of the waiting period prescribed by the HSR Act) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement promptly (and in any event, within five Business Days) after the date of this Agreement and shall supply as promptly as practicable to the appropriate Governmental Entities any additional information and documentary material that may be requested pursuant to any Antitrust Laws.

 

51


Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer and Seller and their respective Affiliates shall not take any action that has or may have the effect of extending any waiting period or comparable period under any Antitrust Laws or enter into any agreement with any Governmental Entity not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, except with the prior written consent of Buyer and Seller.

(b) In the event any Proceeding by a Governmental Entity or other Person is commenced which questions the validity or legality of the transactions contemplated hereby or seeks damages in connection therewith, the Parties agree to cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to defend against such Proceeding and, if an injunction or other order is issued in any such action, suit or other proceeding, to use all commercially reasonable efforts to have such injunction or other order lifted, and to use commercially reasonable efforts regarding any other impediment to the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(c) Seller and Buyer shall permit counsel for the other Party reasonable opportunity to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of Seller and Buyer agrees not to participate in any substantive meeting or discussion, either in person or by telephone with any Governmental Entity in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement unless it consults with the other Party in advance and, to the extent not prohibited by such Governmental Entity, gives the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in such meeting or discussion.

(d) During the period from the date of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, except as required by this Agreement, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not engage in any action or enter into any transaction or permit any action to be taken or transaction to be entered into, that would reasonably be expected to materially impair or delay Buyer’s ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or perform its obligations hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, none of Buyer, the Subsidiaries of Buyer or their respective Affiliates shall acquire (whether by merger, consolidation, stock or asset purchase or otherwise), or agree to so acquire, any amounts of assets of or any equity in any other Person or any business or division thereof, unless that acquisition or agreement would not reasonably be expected to (i) increase the risk of not obtaining any authorizations, consents, orders, declarations or approvals of any Governmental Entity necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including pursuant to any Antitrust Laws) or the expiration or termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act, or (ii) increase the risk of any Governmental Entity entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything the contrary herein, the Company’s, Buyer’s and their respective Affiliates’ consummation of any transactions with customers and prospective customers announced prior to the date of this Agreement shall not constitute a violation of this Section 6.3.

(e) Each of the Parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all respects with each other in connection with any filing or submission with a Governmental Entity required in connection with the Transactions.

 

52


(f) For the purposes of this Section 6.3 and Section 8.1, (i) Buyer’s and Seller’s “commercially reasonable efforts” shall expressly include contesting, defending, appealing any threatened or pending preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling or statute, rule, regulation or executive order, or denial of clearance, that would adversely affect the ability of any Party to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) Buyer’s “commercially reasonable efforts” shall expressly exclude (A) selling, licensing or otherwise disposing of, or holding separate and agreeing to sell, license or otherwise dispose of (i) any entities, assets or facilities of any Group Company after the Closing or (ii) any entity, facility or asset of Buyer or its Affiliates before or after the Closing, (B) terminating, amending or assigning existing relationships and contractual rights and obligations (other than terminations that would result in a breach of a contractual obligation to a third party), (C) restricting any business operations or prospective business operations, and (D) amending, assigning or terminating existing licenses or other agreements (other than terminations that would result in a breach of a license or such other agreement with a third party) and entering into such new licenses or other agreements.

Section 6.4 Public Announcements. At all times prior to the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall consult with one another and seek one another’s approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before issuing any press release, or otherwise making any public statements, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation and approval; provided that (i) each Party may make any such announcement which it in good faith believes, based on advice of counsel, is necessary or advisable in connection with any requirement of Law or regulation, it being understood and agreed that each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide the other Parties with copies of any such announcement in advance of such issuance and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit a Party from answering questions presented on investor calls or similar forums to the extent not inconsistent with any such press release or any other jointly approved public statement made prior to such calls or forums.

Section 6.5 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses existing as of the date of this Agreement in favor of the directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees and agents of each Group Company, as provided in the Group Companies’ Governing Documents or set forth on Schedule 6.5 with respect to any matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, shall survive the transactions contemplated by this

 

53


Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect and that Buyer shall cause the Group Companies (on their own or on Seller’s behalf) to perform and discharge the Group Companies’ obligations to provide such indemnification, exculpation and advancement of expenses. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, such indemnification shall be mandatory rather than permissive, and Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to advance expenses in connection with such indemnification as provided in the applicable Group Company’s Governing Documents or other applicable agreements. The indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation or advancement of expenses provisions of the Group Companies’ Governing Documents shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified after the Closing Date in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, as of the Closing Date or at any time prior to the Closing Date, were directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees or agents of Seller or any Group Company, unless such modification is required by applicable Law.

(b) The Group Companies may purchase, prior to the Closing, at Buyer’s cost and expense, a “tail” policy providing employee practices, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for a period of six years after the Closing Date for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Group Company’s employee practices, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing; provided, that if the Group Companies do not purchase any such policy on or prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall cause the Group Companies to purchase and maintain in effect, beginning on the Closing and for a period of six years thereafter, without any lapses in coverage, a policy providing employee practices, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for the benefit of those Persons who are covered by any Group Company’s employee practices, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies as of the date hereof or at the Closing. Such a policy shall provide coverage that is at least equal to the coverage provided under Seller’s or the Group Companies’ current employee practices, fiduciaries’, trustees’, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies; provided that the Group Companies may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage containing terms and conditions which are no less advantageous to the beneficiaries thereof so long as such substitution does not result in gaps or lapses in coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date.

(c) Buyer agrees, and will cause the Group Companies, not to take any action that would have the effect of limiting the aggregate amount of insurance coverage required to be maintained for the individuals referred to in this Section 6.5. If Buyer, any Group Company or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) shall merge or consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the surviving or continuing corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) shall transfer all or substantially all of their respective properties and assets as an entity in one or a series of related transactions to any individual, corporation or other entity, then in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that to provide for the successors or assigns of Buyer or such Group Company shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 6.5; provided that neither Buyer nor such Group Company shall be relieved from such obligation.

(d) The directors, officers, employees, fiduciaries, trustees and agents of Seller and each Group Company entitled to the indemnification, liability limitation, exculpation and insurance set forth in this Section 6.5 are intended to be third party beneficiaries of this

 

54


Section 6.5. This Section 6.5 shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of Buyer. This Section 6.5 shall not apply to any liabilities incurred by Seller, Apax Europe VII GP Co.

No such books, records or documents shall be destroyed after the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date by Buyer or the Group Companies, without first advising Seller in writing and giving Seller a reasonable opportunity to obtain possession thereof.

 

55


Section 6.8 Seller Confidentiality. Until the seven year anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and Seller shall cause its partners and Affiliates and its and their respective representatives who receive access to Confidential Information (and, in the case of such Persons that are entities, that have executed separate confidentiality agreements with Buyer in order to receive such access) (“Receiving Parties”) not to, use or disclose to any third party, any Confidential Information; provided, that nothing herein or in the other Transaction Documents shall be construed as precluding, prohibiting, restricting or otherwise limiting the ability of Seller (or its partners or Affiliates or any of its and their respective representatives who, in all cases, are Receiving Parties) to make any disclosures of Confidential Information (a) to the extent required by applicable Law, (b) to provide financial information relating to such Confidential Information that is customarily disclosed to its current or prospective limited partners or investors so long as such information is disclosed pursuant to customary confidentiality agreements, (c) to use Confidential Information to the extent required for regulatory or Tax compliance purposes or (d) in connection with the defense of any claim under this Agreement; provided, further, that Seller shall promptly provide Buyer, to the extent legally permissible, with prior written notice of any such requirement, including so that Buyer may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy in advance of such disclosure and participate in any proceeding related thereto; provided, further, that no such notice shall be required in the event Seller is requested or required to disclose Confidential Information in the course of routine supervisory examinations or regulatory oversight not targeting the Company, Buyer or the Confidential Information.

During the period from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, Buyer hereby agrees that it is not authorized to and shall not (and shall not permit any of its employees, agents, representatives or Affiliates to) contact any employee, client or other material business relation of any Group Company regarding any Group Company, its business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior consent of the Company.

56

Prior to the Closing, if Parachute Payment Waivers are obtained and a 280G Vote is required, the Company shall deliver to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, (i) that a 280G Vote was solicited in conformance with Section 280G of the Code, and the requisite shareholder approval was

 

57


obtained with respect to any payments and/or benefits that were subject to the Company shareholder vote (the “Section 280G Approval”) or (ii) that the Section 280G Approval was not obtained and as a consequence, pursuant to the Parachute Payment Waiver, such “parachute payments” shall not be made or provided. The form of the Parachute Payment Waiver, the disclosure statement, any other materials to be submitted to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the 280G Vote and the calculations related to the foregoing shall be subject to advance review and approval by Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

58


(c) Tax Deductions. Except as in good faith required to settle or resolve any dispute with a taxing authority, neither Seller nor any of the Group Companies shall take any position on any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the treatment of the Transaction Deductions (at least to the extent of the applicable percentages specified in the Example Statement) or any Advisory Fees that are contingent on the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (at least to the extent of the 70% safe harbor described in IRS Revenue Procedure 2011-29) as deductions from the taxable income of the Group Companies.

Section 6.13 Affiliate Transactions. Seller and the Company shall ensure that all Affiliate Transactions, including the Advisory Agreements and the Intercompany Note, other than those set forth on Schedule 6.13 and those fully paid and discharged pursuant to Section 6.14, shall be fully paid and be discharged at the Closing, such termination to be without further liability whatsoever to the Group Companies.

Section 6.16 Consents. The Company shall use (and Seller shall cause each Group Company to use) its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, or initiate the process to obtain, all consents and approvals set forth on Schedule 3.4 as shall be requested by Buyer, provided, however, that no party shall be required to pay any consideration to any third party from whom consent or approval is requested.

(a) With respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, Buyer shall pay to Group Company employees annual cash bonuses in an aggregate amount that is no less than the aggregate amount of the cash-based bonuses under any Group Company’s cash-based bonus plan in the ordinary course of business consistent with the terms of such plan; provided that if any such employee is terminated (i) without cause at or after the Closing as a result of a redundancy or reduction in force arising in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (as opposed to ordinary course terminations or terminations not connected with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) and (ii) prior to the payment of any cash-based bonuses with respect to the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs, then such employee shall be paid the bonus that such employee would have been entitled to receive in accordance with the foregoing had such employee not been so terminated (pro-rated for any portion of the applicable measurement period with respect to such bonus during which such employee was not employed), and any such bonus shall be paid at the same time that such bonuses are generally paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with the terms of such plan, but in no event later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs.

(b) Buyer agrees to maintain (or cause one of its Affiliates to maintain) the TriZetto Severance Plan, dated April 26, 2011, in place for a period of one year beginning on the Closing Date. Buyer further agrees that, from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall (or shall cause each Group Company to), to the extent allowed under applicable Law and the terms of the applicable New Plan, grant to each employee who of the Group Companies who continues in employment with Buyer or one of its Affiliates following Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”), under any benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement (other than any equity based plan, program or arrangement) established or maintained by Buyer or a Group Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries and in which such Continuing Employee participates on or after the Closing Date (each, a “New Plan”), credit for any service with any Group Company earned prior to the Closing Date (i) for eligibility and, with respect to any tax-qualified retirement plans, vesting purposes and (ii) for purposes of vacation accruals following the Closing Date and severance benefit determinations in each case, to the same extent such service was recognized under a similar Employee Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date. Nothing contained herein, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any employee or other service provider of any Group Company any right to continued employment or other service for any period or continued receipt of any specific benefit, or any status as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement with the ability to enforce rights as if it were a party to this Agreement, or shall constitute an amendment to or any other modification of any New Plan or Employee Benefit Plan. Buyer agrees that Buyer and the Group Companies shall be solely responsible for satisfying the continuation coverage requirements of Section 4980B of the Code for all individuals who are “M&A qualified beneficiaries” (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulation Section 54.4980B-9) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 6.17(b) shall be deemed to limit the right of Buyer, any Group Company or any of their respective Affiliates to terminate the employment or other service of any employee or other service provider at any time.

(f) by either Buyer or Seller, if any Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action permanently enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree or ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(f) shall have used commercially reasonable efforts to remove such order, decree, ruling, judgment or injunction and shall have complied in all respects and taken all actions required by Section 6.3 hereof.

Section 8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, this entire Agreement shall forthwith become void (and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Buyer, Seller or the Company or their respective officers, directors or equityholders) with the exception of (a) the provisions of this Section 8.2, Article 9 and Section 6.2, each of which provisions shall survive such termination and remain valid and binding obligations of the parties and (b) any liability of any Party for any willful breach of this Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to include any failure by Seller or Buyer to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if it is obligated to do so hereunder) prior to such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” shall mean a breach or failure to perform an obligation or agreement that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party with the knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a material breach of this Agreement (and which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be deemed to include any failure by Buyer or Seller to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement if either of them is obligated to do so hereunder).

Section 9.3 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of Law or conflict of Law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Law of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 9.4 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the fees and expenses to be borne by Buyer in accordance with Section 6.3 and Section 6.5), all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the fees and disbursements of counsel, financial advisors and accountants, shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses; provided, that in the event that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, Buyer shall, or shall cause the Company to, pay all Unpaid Seller Expenses in accordance with Section 2.4(a)(ii)(y).

Section 9.5 Construction. The headings contained in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No Party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions hereof, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be construed according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any Party and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of its authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.6 Exhibits and Schedules. All Exhibits and Schedules, or documents expressly incorporated into this Agreement, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement and are hereby made a part hereof as if set out in full in this Agreement. Any item disclosed in any Schedule referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to every other Section in this Agreement if the relevance of such disclosure to such other sections is reasonably apparent. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedule is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and no Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Any capitalized term used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning given to such term in this Agreement.

Section 9.7 Parties in Interest. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party and its successors and permitted assigns and, except as provided in Section 6.5 and Section 9.16, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any rights, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 9.8 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Closing, Seller may, on behalf of itself and the Company, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Buyer contained herein, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of Buyer contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by Buyer pursuant hereto, or (c) waive compliance by Buyer with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer may (i) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the Company or Seller contained herein, (ii) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the Company and Seller contained herein or in any document, certificate or writing delivered by the Company or Seller pursuant hereto, or (iii) waive compliance by the Company and Seller with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.

Section 9.9 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect so

 

67


long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 9.10 Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or scanned pages shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, no Party shall be liable for any consequential damages, including loss of revenue, income or profits, loss in value of assets or securities, punitive (other than with respect to amounts paid with respect to a third party claim), special or indirect damages, or damages based on a multiple of EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), or of any other financial metric (whether trailing, forward or otherwise), relating to any breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.12 Indemnity; Non-Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a) The representations and warranties of the Company, Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto, other than the representations and warranties in Section 4.4 (which shall survive indefinitely), shall terminate and be of no further force or effect at Closing (and no Party shall have liability thereunder at or after the Closing). The covenants and agreements of the Company, Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed prior to or at the Closing shall terminate and be of no further force or effect immediately following the Closing (and no Party shall have liability thereunder at or after the Closing). The covenants and agreements of the Company, Seller and Buyer contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed at or after the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with their terms.

(b) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer, the Company and their respective Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, Affiliates and/or agents of the foregoing (each a “Parent Indemnitee”) harmless from any damages, losses, liabilities, obligations, claims of any kind, interest or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), in each case that are actually incurred by any Group Company or Buyer as a result of:

(i) any breach or violation of the representations and warranties in Section 4.4 (other than any such breach or violation that results in a de minimis liability); and

 

68


(ii) (x) any obligation of Seller to make a payment to any employee of any Group Company in respect of arrangements covered by clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of Seller Incentive Plans or (y) any obligation of any Group Company to make a payment to any employee of any Group Company pursuant to any agreement listed under items 1, 2, 3, 5 or 6 on Schedule 1.1(b) (but, in the case of item 6 thereon, only to the extent that such obligations exceed the amounts previously paid plus the amounts accrued on the Group Companies’ financial statements as of the Closing in respect of the agreements listed thereunder); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the payment after the Closing by Seller, the Company or its Affiliates of amounts due in accordance with such agreements shall not result in any liability hereunder to Seller if the amount of such payments was included in the final Unpaid Seller Expenses. Seller shall maintain a cash reserve in an amount that is equal to $5,000,000 for one year following the Closing in order to satisfy its obligations under this Section 9.12(b)(ii); provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence does not limit the indemnity obligations set forth in this Section 9.12(b)(ii).

Section 9.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR (II) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HEREBY FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

Section 9.14 Jurisdiction and Venue. Each of the Parties (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any other court. Each of the Parties waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Each Party agrees that service of summons and complaint or any other process that might be served in any action or proceeding may be made on such Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address of the Party and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 9.2. Nothing in this Section 9.14, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Each Party agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding so brought shall be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

 

69


Section 9.15 Remedies. Any and all remedies provided herein will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. Buyer, the Company and Seller agree that irreparable harm for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the Parties do not fully and timely perform their respective obligations under or in connection with this Agreement in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise breach such provisions. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case without proof of damages and without posting a bond or undertaking, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at Law or in equity. The provisions set forth in Section 8.2 (A) are not intended to and do not adequately compensate for the harm that would result from a breach of this Agreement prior to its valid termination and (B) shall not be construed to diminish or otherwise impair in any respect any Party’s right to an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief and the right to obtain an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without that right, none of the Parties would have entered into this Agreement. Each of Buyer, the Company and Seller agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other Parties have an adequate remedy at Law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity.

Section 9.16 Non-Recourse. All claims or causes of action (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (including any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents), may be made only against the entities that are expressly identified as parties hereto and thereto. No Person who is not a named party to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, including any past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any named party to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in Law or in equity, or based upon any theory that seeks to impose liability of an entity party against its owners or Affiliates) for any obligations or liabilities arising under, in connection with or related to this Agreement or such other Transaction Documents (as the case may be) or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document (as the case may be) or the negotiation or execution hereof or thereof; and each Party waives and releases all such liabilities, claims and obligations against any such Non-Party Affiliates. Non-Party Affiliates are expressly intended as third party beneficiaries of this provision of this Agreement.

Section 9.17 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Kirkland & Ellis LLP has acted as legal counsel to Seller and its Affiliates and the Group Companies prior to the Closing, and that Kirkland & Ellis LLP intends to act as legal counsel to Seller and its Affiliates (which will no longer include the Group Companies) after the Closing, each of Buyer and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise

 

70


in connection with Kirkland & Ellis LLP representing Seller and/or its Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to Buyer, any Group Company or the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between Seller, its Affiliates or any Group Company and Kirkland & Ellis LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Group Companies). Accordingly, the Group Companies shall not, without Seller’s consent, have access to any such communications, or to the files of Kirkland & Ellis LLP relating to its engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (a) Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Group Companies shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Kirkland & Ellis LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only Seller and its Affiliates (and not the Group Companies) shall hold such property rights and (c) Kirkland & Ellis LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to any of the Group Companies by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Kirkland & Ellis LLP and any of the Group Companies or otherwise.
