(iv)     directly or indirectly, deposit any Equity Securities of such Spinco in a voting trust or subject any such Equity Securities to any proxy, arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such securities or other agreement having similar effect, other than, if such deposit of Equity Securities is customary in the market for such transactions at such time, as reasonably necessary to engage in any Hedging Transactions or any Stock Lending Transactions permitted by this Agreement;

 

(v)      directly or indirectly, make a request to amend or waive Section 5(a), this clause 5(b)(v) or any other provision of this Section 5(b) or Section 6;

 

(vi)     directly or indirectly, make any public disclosure, or take any action which could reasonably be expected to require such Spinco to make any public disclosure, with respect to any of the matters set forth in this Section 5(b); or

(c)  Nothing in Section 5(a) (other than the proviso to clause (i) thereof, if applicable) or 5(b) shall prohibit any Liberty Party or its Affiliates from acquiring any securities of any Spinco if after giving effect to such acquisition, Liberty’s Ownership Percentage with respect to such Spinco would not exceed the Applicable Percentage.  In addition, prior to a Permitted Restricted Transfer by the Liberty Parties or a Transfer pursuant to Section 5(d)(i)(7)(ii), such Spinco will not adopt (i) a Shareholder Rights Plan or (ii) any charter or bylaw provision, in the case of each of clause (i) and clause (ii), that would materially adversely affect the Liberty Parties’ ability in accordance with the terms hereof to acquire Equity Securities up to the Applicable Percentage or which otherwise would impose material economic burdens on the Liberty Parties’ ability to do so (an “Anti-Takeover Provision”).  To the extent that any Spinco or a subsidiary thereof effects a Rights Offering or an offer that was made generally available to holders of Equity Securities of such Spinco as a result of their ownership of Equity Securities of such Spinco, the Liberty Parties will be entitled to exercise in full all rights issued or distributed to them or exchange in full;

 

 

 

 

14


 

 

provided, that to the extent such exercise results in the Liberty Parties’ Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities of such Spinco exceeding the Applicable Percentage, it will not constitute a breach of this Agreement provided that the Liberty Parties will not be entitled to vote any such Equity Securities representing voting power in excess of the Applicable Percentage until such time as the Liberty’s Ownership Percentage does not exceed the Applicable Percentage.

 

(d)  (i)  With respect to each Spinco, from and following the Spinoff Date of such Spinco, no Liberty Party shall, and each Liberty Party shall cause its Affiliates not to, without the prior written consent of a majority of the Qualified Directors of such Spinco, Transfer any Equity Securities of such Spinco to any Person except for:

Reg. § 1.355-7(d) applies to such Transfer or (B) there was no “agreement, understanding, arrangement or substantial negotiations” with such Prohibited Transferee regarding the Transfer or any “similar acquisition” (as such terms are defined in Treas. Reg. § 1.355-7(h)) during the two-year period ending on the date of the Spinoff;

 

(4)  Transfers (i) pursuant to a third party tender or exchange offer for such Equity Securities or (ii) in connection with any merger or other business combination involving such Spinco and a third party, which merger or business combination has been approved by such Spinco;

(a) (i) in the event the Board of Directors of a Spinco determines to pursue a Covered Transaction with respect to such Spinco on a negotiated basis and in connection therewith (x) conducts or publicly announces an intention to conduct an “auction” or

 

 

 

 

19


 

 

similar process with respect thereto, Liberty shall be invited to participate in such process on a comparable basis with other potential bidders or (y) if no such process shall be conducted, (A) promptly following the first date on which a draft agreement that, upon execution, would bind (subject to conditions) the Spinco to enter into a Covered Transaction is provided by or on behalf of such Spinco to the counterparty or written comments on such counterparty’s draft definitive transaction agreement are provided by or on behalf of such Spinco to such counterparty (but in no event less than 5 Business Days prior to the Board of Directors of a Spinco authorizing such Spinco to enter into an agreement providing for a Taxable Covered Transaction or less than 72 hours prior to the Board of Directors of a Spinco authorizing such Spinco to enter into an agreement providing for a Covered Transaction that is not a Taxable Covered Transaction), such Spinco shall give notice to Liberty of the possibility of the pending Covered Transaction, which notice shall include a general description of the Covered Transaction (but which need not include the identity of the counterparty) and shall indicate whether the Spinco expects the Covered Transaction will be a Taxable Covered Transaction (the “Tax Status”), and (B) so long as the Spinco is pursuing such Covered Transaction, such Spinco shall advise Liberty in the event it becomes substantially likely that such Covered Transaction, if previously characterized as not being a Taxable Covered Transaction, now will be a Taxable Covered Transaction, or upon a material change in the nature of the Covered Transaction as described in the notice previously provided;

 

(ii)  in the case of a potential Covered Transaction as to which clause (a)(i) of this Section 6 applies, (x) Liberty shall, and Liberty shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential the fact of its or their receipt of any invitation to participate or other notice in respect of such potential Covered Transaction and the contents of any such invitation or notice (subject to customary exceptions, including disclosure to representatives who acknowledge such confidentiality obligation) and (y) promptly following receipt of any such invitation or notice, but in any event within five Business Days of such receipt, Liberty shall inform the applicable Spinco whether Liberty intends to in good faith participate in the auction or similar process (in the case of subclause (a)(i)(x) of this Section 6) or in good faith pursue the Covered Transaction (in the case of subclause (a)(i)(y) of this Section 6).  If Liberty shall so inform the Spinco of its good faith intention to participate in the process or to pursue the transaction, it shall actively so participate or pursue, and shall promptly provide notice to the applicable Spinco in the event its intention changes.  In the event Liberty provides notice to the Spinco that it does not intend to participate in the process or pursue the Covered Transaction (whether such notice is given initially or following a prior indication of interest), or if Liberty ceases to actively so participate or pursue, then such Spinco shall be relieved of any further obligation under this Section 6(a) with respect to such Covered Transaction; provided, that if thereafter the expected Tax Status of the Covered Transaction changes from not being a Taxable Covered Transaction to being a Taxable Covered Transaction, or upon a material change in the nature of the Covered Transaction as described in the notice previously provided, the Spinco will promptly notify Liberty of such changed status or nature and Liberty shall again be permitted to inform the Spinco of its good faith intention to participate in the

process or pursue the transaction, all in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6; and

 

(iii)  in connection with any potential Covered Transaction as to which clause (a)(i)(y) of this Section 6 applies, (x) if so requested by Liberty, the applicable Spinco will furnish Liberty with information regarding such Spinco reasonably comparable to the information provided to the prospective counterparty to such Covered Transaction provided that Liberty shall have executed and delivered to such Spinco a nondisclosure (or similar) agreement substantially equivalent to any nondisclosure (or similar) agreement entered into with such prospective counterparty (other than any “standstill” obligations therein on the part of such prospective counterparty and provided that such confidentiality agreement will contain customary exceptions to such obligations) and (y) the Board of Directors of such Spinco shall consider any offer for a Covered Transaction made in good faith by Liberty but shall have no obligation hereunder to accept any such offer or to enter into negotiations with Liberty;

 

 (b)          in the event a third party shall commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) an offer for a Covered Transaction described in clause (i) of the definition thereof which offer is not made pursuant to an agreement with such Spinco (the “Triggering Offer”), and within 10 Business Days following the commencement of such Triggering Offer the Board of Directors of such Spinco shall have failed to take action reasonably calculated to prevent such third party from acquiring Beneficial Ownership of Equity Securities of such Spinco to the extent such acquisition would result in such third party’s Ownership Percentage with respect to such Spinco exceeding the Applicable Percentage (whether through the adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan, pursuit of litigation or otherwise) (“Blocking Action”), the Liberty Parties shall be relieved of their obligations (x) under Section 5(b) of this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Liberty to commence a Competing Offer and (y) for so long as the third party has not withdrawn or abandoned its offer or Liberty receives a notice from the Spinco pursuant to Section 6(a)(i)(y) regarding a Covered Transaction with such third party, shall be relieved of their obligations under Section 5(a) to the extent necessary to permit Liberty to consummate such Competing Offer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (b) shall not relieve any Liberty Party of its obligations in the event that a majority of the Qualified Directors of such Spinco have supported the taking of Blocking Action and, notwithstanding such support, the Spinco Board of Directors fails to take Blocking Action;

 

(c)  in the event Liberty shall consummate a Competing Offer for a Spinco in the circumstances permitted by Section 6(b) and otherwise in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and as a result of which consummation Liberty’s Ownership Percentage in respect of such Spinco shall exceed 50%, any consent or approval requirements of the Qualified Directors set forth in this Agreement will be deemed terminated and will cease to be of any further force and effect, and, following the later of the second anniversary of the Spinoff Date of such Spinco and the date Liberty’s Ownership Percentage exceeds 50%, the provisions of Section 5(a) of this Agreement with respect to such Spinco will be deemed terminated and will cease to be of any further force and effect; and

 

 

 

 

21


 

 

(d)  in the event a third party shall publicly disclose that its Ownership Percentage with respect to a Spinco exceeds 20% and within 10 Business Days following such public announcement the Board of Directors of such Spinco shall have failed to take Blocking Action, the Liberty Parties shall be relieved of their obligations under Sections 5(a) and 5(b) of this Agreement to the extent reasonably necessary to permit Liberty to commence and consummate an offer to acquire all of the outstanding Equity Securities of such Spinco.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph (d) shall not relieve any Liberty Party of its obligations in the event that a majority of the Qualified Directors of such Spinco have supported the taking of Blocking Action and, notwithstanding such support, the Spinco Board of Directors fails to take Blocking Action.

 

(e)  For purposes of this Section 6, the terms below shall have the following meanings:

 

“Taxable Covered Transaction” means the acquisition of the Spinco by a third party in a Covered Transaction that is generally taxable to the stockholders of such Spinco for federal income tax purposes.

 

“Competing Offer” means a tender or exchange offer for any and all Equity Securities of such Spinco or a merger proposal to acquire all of the outstanding Equity Securities of such Spinco not owned by the Liberty Parties; provided, that, if the Triggering Offer is for less than any and all such Equity Securities, the Competing Offer may instead be for such Equity Securities of such Spinco as would, upon consummation of the Competing Offer, result in Liberty’s Ownership Percentage in respect of such Spinco equaling what the third party offeror’s Ownership Percentage in respect of such Spinco would be upon consummation of the Triggering Offer assuming all shares sought in the Triggering Offer were tendered and accepted.

 

7.  Spinco Registration Rights

 

With respect to each Spinco the Spinoff of which is effected in the form of a Single-Tier Spinoff on or prior to the End Date, IAC shall cause such Spinco to execute and deliver to Liberty, and Liberty shall execute and deliver to such Spinco, effective as of the Spinoff Date of such Spinco, a Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit 4 hereto.

 

8.  Certain Efforts

 

                With respect to each of HSN PubCo, Interval PubCo and TM PubCo, in the event the Spinoff of such Spinco is effected in the form of a Single-Tier Spinoff on or prior to the End Date, IAC shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject in each case to the availability of debt financing on terms reasonably satisfactory to IAC under then current market conditions, to cause the respective debt levels of such Spincos immediately following the Spinoff to be a minimum of $400 million, $280 million and $580 million.

 

9.  Third Party Beneficiaries; Standalone Agreements; Assignment

 

(a)  Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or implied, shall be construed to give any Person, other than the parties hereto, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement.

 

 

 

22


 

 

(b)  In connection with each Spinoff which is effected in the form of a Single-Tier Spinoff on or prior to the End Date, IAC and the Liberty Parties shall, and IAC shall cause the applicable Spinco to, execute and deliver an agreement (a “Spinco Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) in the form attached as Exhibit 5 hereto.  No Spinco shall have any obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or under the aforementioned agreements with respect to any other Spinco.  Nothing in this Section 9(b) shall release IAC from liability for any breach of this Agreement with respect to any Spinco occurring on or before the Spinoff Date of such Spinco.  The Spinco Assignment and Assumption Agreement shall set forth the address and facsimile for notices to such Spinco for purposes of Section 10(a).

 

(c) If any Liberty Party shall transfer or otherwise dispose of any Equity Securities of any Spinco to any Affiliate of such Liberty Party, such transferee and the Transferring Liberty Party shall execute and deliver to such Spinco an agreement (an “Affiliate Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) in the form of Exhibit 6. The Spinco shall (and with respect to any such Transfer prior to the second anniversary of the applicable Spinoff Date otherwise permitted by this Agreement IAC shall) also execute such Affiliate Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

 

(d) Except pursuant to any Assignment and Assumption Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by any party without the prior written consent (i) of Liberty, in the case of an assignment by IAC (or from and after each Spinoff, the applicable Spinco) or (ii) of IAC (or from and after each Spinoff, the applicable Spinco provided in such case such consent shall be approved by a majority of the Qualified Directors of such Spinco) in the case of an assignment by any Liberty Party of its rights and obligations in respect of IAC (or such Spinco).  Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

24


 

 

(c)  Effectiveness of Certain Provisions.  With respect to each Spinco, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

 

(i) the provisions of Sections 3, 5, 6 and 9(c) (the “Delayed Effectiveness Provisions”), to the extent related to the parties’ rights and obligation in respect of such Spinco, shall become effective only if the Spinoff of such Spinco is effected in the form of a Single-Tier Spinoff, and in such case, shall become effective upon the Spinoff Date of such Spinco; and

 

(ii) in the event, and upon the earliest to occur, of (x) the Spinoff of such Spinco effected in a form other than a Single-Tier Spinoff, (y) the public announcement by IAC of the abandonment of the Spinoff of such Spinco and (z) if the Delayed Effectiveness Provisions have not previously become effective pursuant to Section 10(c)(i), the End Date, the Delayed Effectiveness Provisions, to the extent related to such Spinco, shall terminate and shall thereafter not become effective.

 

(d)  Governing Law; Consent To Jurisdiction.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of laws.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware, for any action, proceeding or investigation in any court or before any governmental authority (“Litigation”) arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. mail to its respective address set forth in this Agreement shall be effective service of process for any Litigation brought against it in any such court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the courts of the State of Delaware, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Each of the parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all rights to trial by jury in connection with any Litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(e)  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

(f)  Specific Performance; Other Limitations.  IAC and each Liberty Party each acknowledge and agree that the parties’ respective remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement would be inadequate and, in recognition of that fact, agrees that, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by IAC, or following each Spinoff Date, the applicable Spinco, or a Liberty Party of the provisions of this Agreement, in addition to any remedies at law, the Liberty Party, IAC or such Spinco, respectively, without posting any bond shall be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction or any other equitable remedy

which may then be available.  No breach or threatened breach on the part of any party hereto shall relieve any other party of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(g)  Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, provided that the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to place the parties in the same position as they would have been in had such provision not been held to be invalid, void or unenforceable.

 

(h)  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the agreements and instruments referenced herein, embodies the complete agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understanding or agreements by or among the parties, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

(i)  Interpretation.  References in this Agreement to Sections shall be deemed to be references to Sections of this Agreement unless the context shall otherwise require.  The words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of such agreement or instrument.  The word “knowledge” when used in this Agreement shall refer to the actual knowledge of the Person in question without such Person being under any duty or obligation to make any inquiries.  Each reference to a statute, rule or regulation (including any section of the Code and any Treasury Regulations) herein shall be deemed to include any successor statute, rule or regulation thereto.
