B. The board of directors of the Company has approved this Agreement in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) and determined that this Agreement and the Merger are advisable and in the best interests of the Stockholders.

C. The board of directors of Merger Sub has approved this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL and determined that this Agreement and the Merger are advisable and in the best interest of the sole stockholder of Merger Sub.

AGREEMENT

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and other valuable consideration herein contained, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

THE MERGER

1.1 The Merger. In accordance with the terms and upon the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company, as the surviving corporation in the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2 Effective Time. At the Closing, Buyer, Merger Sub and the Company shall cause the certificate of merger, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, and shall make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL to complete the Merger. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such other time as Buyer and the Company shall agree and shall specify in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Merger Consideration. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer and Merger Sub in respect of the Merger shall be the Aggregate Merger Consideration, as adjusted pursuant to Sections 1.11, 1.12 and 1.13, payable in cash. The amount payable to each Equityholder on account of such Equityholder’s Company Securities shall be payable in cash as set forth on the Allocation Schedule.


1.4 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers and purposes of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, obligations and other liabilities of the Company and Merger Sub shall become the debts, obligations and other liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Merger Sub in effect at the Effective Time shall be the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until changed or amended as provided by the certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation or in accordance with applicable Law.

1.9 Estimated Cash Payment. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Buyer (i) a certificate (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) signed by an officer of the Company setting forth the Company’s good faith estimate of the Cash Amount, Debt Amount, Remaining Designated Payables Amount and Transaction Expenses Amount in each case as of immediately prior to the Closing, and Working Capital Deficit, if any, or Working Capital Surplus, if any, and, based on such estimates, the estimated Cash Payment (the “Estimated Cash Payment”) and (ii) all records and work papers reasonably necessary to compute and verify the information set forth in such certificate.

(c) Cash Payment Adjustment. Within five (5) Business Days after the Cash Payment becomes final and binding in accordance with Section 1.11:

(i) if the Cash Payment exceeds the Estimated Cash Payment, then such excess shall be paid by Buyer in cash (A) to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of and further payment to the Stockholders and the holders of In the Money Warrants, that portion of the Estimated Cash Payment payable to the Stockholders and the holders of In the Money Warrants pursuant to Section 1.7, and (B) to the Surviving Corporation, for the benefit of and further payment to the holders of In the Money Options, that portion of the Estimated Cash Payment payable to the holders of In the Money Options pursuant to Section 1.7, in all cases in accordance with their respective Fully-Diluted Pro Rata Percentages; or

(d) Earn-Out Payments. Buyer shall pay the Earn-Out Payments, if any, in cash (A) to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of and further payment to the Stockholders and the holders of In the Money Warrants, that portion of the Earn-Out Payments payable to the Stockholders and the holders of In the Money Warrants pursuant to Section 1.7, (B) to the Surviving Corporation, for the benefit of and further payment to the holders of In the Money Options, that portion of the Estimated Cash Payment payable to the holders of In the Money Options pursuant to Section 1.7, in all cases in accordance with their respective Fully-Diluted Pro Rata Percentages, and (C) to the Surviving Corporation for payment of the Contingent Transaction Fees.

(f) Withholding. The Parties and any other applicable withholding agent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement any Taxes or other amounts required under the Code or any Law to be deducted and withheld, and, to the extent that any amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any compensatory amounts subject to payroll reporting and withholding that are payable pursuant to or as contemplated by this Agreement, the Exchange Agent Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall be payable in accordance with the applicable payroll procedures of the Company. Except with respect to any compensatory payments, Buyer shall notify (to the extent reasonably practicable) the Representative of any amounts that it intends to deduct and withhold at least three (3) Business Days prior to the scheduled date of such payment, and Buyer shall work in good faith with the Representative to minimize any such withheld amounts.

(g) Loans. To the extent any Equityholder has outstanding loans from the Company as of the Effective Time, then the amount of any such outstanding loan together with any accrued interest shall be netted against proceeds to be paid hereunder.

1.11 Cash Payment Determination. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Representative (a) a statement setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Cash Amount, Debt Amount, Designated Payables Amount and Transaction Expenses Amount, and Working Capital, Working Capital Deficit, if any, and Working Capital Surplus, if any, and based on such calculations, the Cash Payment (the “Closing Statement”), and (b) all records and work papers reasonably necessary to compute and verify the information set forth in the Closing Statement. If the Representative has any objections to the Closing Statement prepared by Buyer, then the Representative will deliver a reasonably detailed written statement (the “Objections Statement”) describing (a) which items on the Closing Statement have not been prepared in accordance with this Agreement, (b) the basis for the Representative’s disagreement with the calculation of such items and (c) the Representative’s proposed dollar amount for each item in dispute, to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Closing Statement. If the Representative fails to deliver an Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then the Closing Statement shall become final and binding on all Parties. The Representative shall be deemed to have agreed with all amounts and items contained or reflected in the Closing Statement to the extent such amounts or items are not disputed in the Objections Statement. If the Representative delivers an Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then the Representative and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disputes, but if a final resolution is not obtained within thirty (30) days after the Representative has submitted any Objections Statements, any remaining matters which are in dispute will be resolved by the Denver office of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (the “Accountants”). The Accountants will prepare and deliver a written report to Buyer and the Representative and will submit a proposed resolution of such unresolved disputes promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants’ determination of such unresolved disputes will be final and binding upon all Parties and not subject to review by a court or other tribunal; provided, however, that no such determination shall be any more favorable to Buyer than is set forth in the Closing Statement or any more favorable to the Representative than is proposed in the Objections Statement. The costs, expenses and fees of the Accountants shall be borne by either the Equityholders, if the Representative’s calculation of the Cash Payment has the greatest difference from the final Cash Payment as determined by the Accountants under this Section 1.11 on the one hand, or Buyer, if Buyer’s calculation of the Cash Payment has the greatest difference from the final Cash Payment as determined by the Accountants under this Section 1.11; otherwise, such costs, fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders), on the other hand. The final Closing Statement, however determined pursuant to this Section 1.11, will produce the Working Capital Deficit, if any, the Working Capital Surplus, if any, the Cash Amount, the Debt Amount, the Designated Payables Amount and the Transaction Expenses Amount to be used to determine the final Cash Payment (the “Final Cash Payment”).

CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THE EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED, AND THE EXCLUDED TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH THREE ASTERISKS [***].

 

1.12 Calculation of Earn-Out Payments. The Earn-Out Payments (if any) shall be calculated as follows:

(a) up to $[***] (the “Anthem Earn-Out Payment”), which shall be earned as follows: (i) $[***] (the “First Anthem Earn-Out Payment”) shall be earned upon achievement of the First Anthem Milestone and (ii) the remaining $[***] (the “Second Anthem Earn-Out Payment”) shall be earned upon achievement of the Second Anthem Milestone; and

(b) up to $[***] (the “Consolidated Earn-Out Revenue Payment”), which shall be earned as follows: (i) $[***] (the “First Consolidated Earn-Out Payment”) shall be earned upon the achievement of the First Consolidated Milestone and (ii) the remaining $[***] (the “Second Consolidated Earn-Out Payment”) shall be earned upon the achievement of the Second Consolidated Milestone.

To the extent the Second Anthem Milestone is not achieved but the full amount of the Company’s 2019 Forecast Consolidated Revenue Target is achieved and at least $[***] of Anthem Revenue is recognized in Fiscal 2019, then the Second Anthem Milestone shall be deemed to be achieved and, notwithstanding Section 1.12(b), the Second Anthem Earn-Out Payment shall be earned.

Each Earn-Out Payment, less the applicable Contingent Transaction Fees, shall be paid by Buyer to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1.10(d), within sixty (60) days after the achievement of the First Anthem Milestone, Second Anthem Milestone, First Consolidated Milestone and/or Second Consolidated Milestone, as applicable. The applicable Contingent Transaction Fees for each Earn-Out Payment shall be paid to the Surviving Corporation for payment to Covington Associates LLC. The Parties agree to treat any Earn-Out Payment as additional consideration for the Company Securities for applicable Tax purposes.

1.13 Determination of Earn-Out Payments. To the extent that Buyer determines that the full amount of the Earn-Out Payments are not achieved, within sixty (60) days after the end of Fiscal 2019, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Representative a report (the “Earn-Out Report”) setting forth (a) Buyer’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payments and (b) all records and work papers reasonably necessary to compute and verify the information set forth in the Earn-Out Report. If the Representative has any objections to the calculation of the Earn-Out Payments prepared by Buyer, then the Representative will deliver a reasonably detailed written statement (the “Earn-Out Objections Statement”) describing its objections to Buyer within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Earn-Out Report. If the Representative fails to deliver an Earn-Out Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then the calculation of the Earn-Out Payments set forth in the Earn-Out Report shall become final and binding on all Parties. If the Representative delivers an Earn-Out Objections Statement within such thirty (30) day period, then the Representative and Buyer will negotiate in good faith to resolve any such disputes, but if a final resolution is not obtained within thirty (30) days after the Representative has submitted the Earn-Out Objections Statement, any remaining matters which are in dispute will be resolved by the Accountants. The Accountants will prepare and deliver a written report to Buyer and the Representative and will submit a resolution of such unresolved disputes promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days after the dispute is submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants’ determination of such unresolved disputes will be final and binding upon all Parties; provided, however, that no such determination shall be any more favorable to Buyer than is set forth in the Earn-Out Report or any more favorable to the Representative than is proposed in the Earn-Out Objections Statement. The costs, expenses and fees of the Accountants shall be borne by either the Equityholders, if the Representative’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payments has the greatest difference from the final Earn-Out Payments as determined by the Accountants under this Section 1.13 on the one hand, or Buyer, if Buyer’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payments has the greatest difference from the final Earn-Out Payments as

 

-6-


determined by the Accountants under this Section 1.11; otherwise, such costs, fees and expenses of the Accountants shall be borne equally by Buyer, on the one hand, and the Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders), on the other hand. Upon the Earn-Out Payments becoming final and binding in accordance with this Section 1.13, Buyer shall pay such Earn-Out Payments to the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, in accordance with Section 1.10(d).

1.14 Management of the Post-Closing Company Business. From the Closing Date through December 31, 2019, Buyer shall operate the Company in good faith and in the long-term best interests of the Company’s business not taking into account the impact of the Earn-Out Payments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will maintain a substantially similar operating budget and headcount for the Business during Fiscal 2019 as maintained by the Company immediately prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that if any change in any Laws adversely affects the Business or the Company is materially missing its projections for Fiscal 2019, Buyer shall have to the right to adjust the budget and headcount as Buyer determines in good faith.

1.15 Calculations. Except as set forth on Schedule 1.15, all calculations of Working Capital under this Agreement, whether estimates or otherwise, shall be determined in accordance with GAAP; provided, however, that the calculations shall not include the effects of the implementation of ASC 606 and ASC 842. A sample calculation of Working Capital is attached hereto as Schedule 1.15. Working Capital and Cash Amount shall be calculated as of the opening of business on the Closing Date. For purposes of calculating any Earn-Out Payments, the calculations shall include the effects of the implementation of ASC 606.

1.16 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or before the Effective Time, Buyer or Merger Sub shall deposit, or shall cause to be deposited, for the benefit of the Equityholders, an amount in cash equal to the Estimated Cash Payment (other than the Escrow Amount, the Founders’ Escrow Amount and the Expense Amount) to which all of the Equityholders (other than the holders of In the Money Options) are entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.7 with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (the “Exchange Agent”), for exchange in accordance with this Section 1.16(a) and enter into an exchange agent agreement to be dated as of the Effective Time by and among Buyer, the Representative and the Exchange Agent in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F (the “Exchange Agent Agreement”).

(b) Exchange Procedure. As soon as practicable and no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to distribute to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates representing Common Stock (collectively, the “Certificates”) and to each holder of record of In the Money Warrants, a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G1 (the “Stockholder Letter of Transmittal”) and the Company shall distribute to each holder of record of Options a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G2 (the “Optionholder Letter of Transmittal,” and, together with the Stockholder Letter of Transmittal, the “Letters of Transmittal”). Each Letter of Transmittal shall provide that each Equityholder, upon the execution or submission thereof, ratifies the adoption of this Agreement and approves the Exchange Agent Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and the appointment of the Representative. Upon surrender of a Certificate, if applicable, and a duly executed Stockholder Letter of Transmittal to the Exchange Agent by a holder of Common Stock or In the Money Warrants, the Exchange Agent shall, and Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay to such Equityholder within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Time, by check or wire transfer, at such Equityholder’s election, the portion of the Estimated Cash Payment (other than such holder’s portion, if any, of the Escrow Amount, the Founders’ Escrow Amount and the Expense Amount) that such Equityholder has the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, less any required withholding Tax to be withheld in accordance with Section 1.10(f). Upon surrender of a duly executed Optionholder Letter of Transmittal to the Surviving Corporation by a holder of In the Money Options, the Surviving Corporation shall pay to such holder of Options, through the Company’s payroll provider or agent or as otherwise agreed upon by the Company and Buyer, on the later of five (5) Business Days or the Company’s next regular payroll payment date, in each case following the Effective Time, the portion of the Estimated Cash

 

-7-


Payment (other than such holder’s portion of the Escrow Amount and the Expense Amount) that such holder of Options has the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement less any required withholding Tax to be withheld in accordance with Section 1.10(f). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no payment of any portion of the Cash Payment shall be made by Buyer or the Exchange Agent to any Equityholder until such Equityholder has surrendered its Certificates or Unexercised Security, if applicable, to the Exchange Agent or to the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, together with its duly executed Letter of Transmittal. Upon any payment pursuant to Section 1.10(c)(i) or any Earn-Out Payment becoming final and binding, the Exchange Agent shall, and Buyer shall cause the Exchange Agent or the Surviving Corporation as the case may be, to pay to such Equityholder within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date any such payment is deemed final and binding pursuant to Section 1.11, Section 1.12 or Section 1.13, by check or wire transfer, at such Equityholder’s election, or through the applicable payroll provider or agent or as otherwise agreed upon by the Company and Buyer, the portion of any such payment that such Equityholder has the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, less any required withholding Tax to be withheld in accordance with Section 1.10(f). No interest will be paid or accrued on the Cash Payment, any Earn-Out Payments or any other amount to be paid to the Equityholders pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Shares, Warrants or Options. From and after the Effective Time, each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Dissenting Shares) or Unexercised Security, until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.16, shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender that portion of the Cash Payment which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate or Unexercised Security pursuant to this Article 1, and upon release, such Equityholder’s portion of the Escrow Fund, Founders’ Escrow Fund and the Expense Fund, and such Equityholder’s portion of any Earn-Out Payments, if any. Following the Effective Time, no holder of Warrants or Options or any participant in the Company Option Plan or any other such plans, programs or arrangements shall have any right thereunder to acquire any Company Securities. That portion of the Cash Payment and Earn-out Payments, if applicable, when deposited with the Exchange Agent, the Escrow Fund and the Founders’ Escrow Fund, when deposited with the Escrow Agent, and the Expense Fund when delivered to the Representative, each in accordance with this Article 1, shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Company Securities (including any Certificates and Unexercised Securities) of such Equityholder, other than with respect to any Stockholder asserting appraisal rights pursuant to the DGCL. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of any Company Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Unexercised Securities are presented to Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, then they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 1 subject, in the case of Dissenting Shares, to Section 1.18.

(d) No Liability. At any time following twelve (12) months after the Effective Time, Buyer shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law any funds (excluding any interest received with respect thereto, which shall be delivered to the Buyer) which had been made available to the Exchange Agent and which have not been disbursed to the Equityholders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of Buyer, Merger Sub, the Surviving Corporation, the Company, the Exchange Agent, the Escrow Agent or any Party hereto shall be liable to any Person in respect of any amount properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, then, upon receipt of (a) an affidavit of that fact from the holder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed, and (b) such indemnity as Buyer may reasonably require, then the Aggregate Merger Consideration with respect to the

Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall give Buyer prompt notice of any written demands complying with Section 262 of the DGCL received by the Company to exercise appraisal rights with respect to any Company Securities, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other written instrument served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to appraisal rights. After the Effective Time, Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation shall give the Representative prompt notice of any written demands complying with Section 262 of the DGCL received by Buyer and/or the Surviving Corporation to exercise appraisal rights with respect to any Company Securities, withdrawals or attempted withdrawals of such demands and any other written instrument served pursuant to the

The Company, prior to the Effective Time, and the Representative, after the Effective Time, shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, any such demands; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Representative shall voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment, except with the prior written consent of Buyer (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). Buyer Indemnitees shall be entitled to recover any payment or payments in respect of any Dissenting Shares in excess of the consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with this Agreement (“Dissenting Share Payments”) pursuant to Article 8 hereof.

The Company shall afford to Buyer and its representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to the Company, under the supervision of the Company’s personnel during the Interim Period, to all its key personnel, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records as Buyer may reasonably request. During such period, the Company shall make available to Buyer all other information concerning its business, properties and personnel as Buyer or its representatives may reasonably request.

Any access, disclosure or investigation rights afforded in this Section 4.10 shall not require the Company to provide access to, or disclose any information to, Buyer or any of its representatives if such access, disclosure or investigation would (a) waive any legal privilege or (b) be in violation of applicable Law or the provision of any Contract entered into prior to the date of this Agreement to which the Company is a party.

4.11 Confidentiality. The Parties acknowledge that Buyer and the Company have previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and the parties hereby agree that the information obtained in any investigation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement or the effectuation of the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement. If the Merger is consummated in accordance with this Agreement, then effective on the Effective Date each Equityholder agrees not to disclose or use any Confidential Information, except that, if and as long as a Equityholder is an employee of the Company after the Closing, then such Equityholder may use the Confidential Information in the ordinary course of his or her employment on behalf of the Company so long as such use is in compliance with all policies and agreements applicable to such Equityholder, except, in each case, to the extent that (a) such information has otherwise been made public (other than as a result of disclosure by the Company or such Equityholder); (b) any such information is disclosed to any Governmental Entity in connection with any Proceeding involving a dispute between the Equityholder and Buyer; (c) to the extent disclosure of specific terms of the transaction contemplated hereby is made by an Equityholder that is a venture capital or private equity fund, in communications to its investors or prospective investors as may be legally or contractually required, or customarily provided to investors or prospective investors in the ordinary course of business and such investors or prospective investors are bound by confidentiality with respect to the information disclosed. Upon termination of such employment, each Equityholder will deliver promptly to Buyer or destroy, at the request and option of Buyer, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information that are in his or her possession. If any Equityholder is requested or required pursuant to written or oral question or request for information or documents in any Proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigation demand or similar process to disclose any Confidential Information, then such Equityholder will notify Buyer promptly of the request or requirement so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.11. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any Equityholder is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, then such Equityholder may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Equityholder shall use its, his or her best efforts to obtain, at the request of Buyer, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as Buyer shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information that is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure unless such Confidential Information is so available due to the actions of an Equityholder.

Nothing in this Section 8.4 shall limit the liability of a party to another party in the event the Closing does not occur.

(f) Each Indemnified Party will take commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate all Adverse Consequences upon and after becoming aware of any event that would reasonably be expected to give rise to such Adverse Consequences, including pursuing and attempting to recover all insurance proceeds and all other recoveries under each applicable insurance policy or contractual right to indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) no Indemnified Party shall (A) be required to take any action to mitigate any Losses incurred or suffered to the extent based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of intentional fraud or intentionally fraudulent breach of a representation or warranty of any Equityholder, or, prior to the Closing, the Company, or (B) have any obligation to take any actions that unreasonably interfere with or impact the business of such Indemnified Party and (ii) the failure of an Indemnified Party to use such efforts to mitigate shall not constitute a defense to the Indemnifying Party’s obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) The amount of any Adverse Consequences that any Indemnified Party may be entitled to recover shall be reduced by (i) the amount of any third party insurance proceeds recovered by such Indemnified Party from any third party insurance carrier, net of any increase in insurance premiums or other costs, including deductibles, incurred in connection with recovery of such insurance proceeds; and (ii) the amount of any indemnity or contribution recovered by any Indemnified Party from any third party, net of any costs incurred in connection with recovering any such amounts. If an Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or third party indemnification or contribution payment subsequent to its receipt of an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party (including from the Escrow Fund), then such Indemnified Party will, without duplication, promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party (net of costs and expenses of such recovery and resulting premium increases) for any payment made by such Indemnifying Party (including from the Escrow Fund) up to the amount received by such Indemnified Party.

(h) The Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover any Adverse Consequences relating to any matter arising under one provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Party has already recovered such Adverse Consequences with respect to such matter pursuant to another provision of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Indemnified Person shall be entitled to recover Adverse Consequences with respect to any matter that was specifically taken into account in the calculation of the Aggregate Merger Consideration. If a state of facts exists that would allow a Buyer Indemnitee recovery under any of (x) Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.1(a)(ii), on the one hand, or (y) Section 8.1(a)(iii) with respect to covenants and agreements set forth in Section 4.3, on the other hand, then such Buyer Indemnitee may only seek to recover for Adverse Consequences under Section 8.1(a)(i) or Section 8.1(a)(ii), as applicable.

8.5 Additional Limitations on Indemnification by Buyer.

(a) Buyer will have no liability pursuant to Section 8.2(a) unless and until the Equityholder Indemnitees have suffered aggregate Adverse Consequences for which the Equityholder Indemnitees are entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 8.2(a) in excess of the Threshold, after which point Buyer will be obligated to indemnify the Equityholder Indemnitees from and against only such Adverse Consequences in excess of the Threshold; provided, that the foregoing limitations shall not apply in respect of any Adverse Consequences relating to (i) breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2(b) (Authorization of

 

-42-


Transaction), 2.2(c) (Non-contravention), and 2.2(d) (Brokers’ Fees) or (ii) any intentional fraud or intentionally fraudulent breach of a representation or warranty.

(b) With respect to claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a), the aggregate maximum liability of Buyer shall be the Cap; provided, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply in respect of any Adverse Consequences relating to (i) breaches of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 2.2(b) (Authorization of Transaction), 2.2(c) (Non-contravention), and 2.2(d) (Brokers’ Fees) or (ii) any intentional fraud.

8.6 Direct Claims.

(a) In the event any Indemnified Party wishes to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article 8, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to Buyer, in the event the Indemnified Party is an Equityholder Indemnitee or the Representative if the Equityholders are the Indemnifying Party and, if the claim is an Equityholder Specific Claim, the applicable Equityholder (as applicable, the “Responding Party”), a certificate signed by such Indemnified Party (a “Claims Certificate”): (i) stating that an Indemnified Party has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or reasonably and in good faith anticipates that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Adverse Consequences; (ii) stating the actual amount of Adverse Consequences incurred, paid, reserved or accrued or, if applicable, the estimated amount of such Adverse Consequences to the extent reasonably estimable; and (iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by the Indemnified Party) the nature of the claim to which such Adverse Consequences are related and the specific provision of this Agreement that such Indemnified Party asserts entitles such Person to indemnification; provided, however, that any failure on the part of an Indemnified Party to so notify or provide the information in subparagraph (iii) to the Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding).

(b) The date of such delivery of a Claims Certificate is referred to herein as the “Claim Date” of such Claims Certificate (and the claims for indemnification contained therein). The Indemnified Party may update any Claims Certificate from time to time to reflect any changes in the actual or estimated amount of Adverse Consequences set forth therein or other information contained therein, by delivery of such updated Claims Certificate to the Responding Party. The Indemnified Party shall provide to the Responding Party any additional backup information or documentation with respect to the information set forth in such Claims Certificate as reasonably requested by the Responding Party.

(c) The Responding Party may object to a claim for indemnification set forth in a Claims Certificate by delivering to the Indemnified Party a written statement of objection to the claim made in the Claims Certificate (an “Objection Notice”), provided that, to be effective, such Objection Notice must (i) be delivered to the Responding Party prior to 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Claim Date (such deadline, the “Objection Deadline” for such Claims Certificate and the claims for indemnification contained therein) and (ii) set forth in reasonable detail the nature of the objections to the claims in respect of which the objection is made.

(d) If the Responding Party objects in writing to any claim or claims by an Indemnified Party made in a Claims Certificate by delivering an effective Objection Notice prior to the Objection Deadline, the Indemnified Party and the Responding Party shall attempt in good faith for thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of the Objection Notice to resolve such objection. If the Responding Party and the Indemnified Party shall so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement (the “Settlement Memorandum”) shall be prepared and signed by both parties, which Settlement Memorandum shall be final and conclusive and binding on the Responding Party. If no agreement can be reached pursuant to this Section 8.6(d) during the 30-day period for good faith negotiation, then the dispute may be resolved by any legally available means consistent with this Agreement.

8.7 Third-Party Claims.

(a) If a Person that is not an Indemnified Party or an Indemnifying Party initiates a claim, demand, dispute, lawsuit or arbitration (a “Third-Party Claim”) against any Indemnified Party with respect to any matter that the Indemnified Party might make a claim for indemnification against any Indemnifying Party under this Article 8, then the Indemnified Party must (i) promptly notify the Responding Party in writing of the existence of such Third-Party Claim, (ii) provide the Responding Party with reasonable detail regarding such Third Party Claim (based upon information then possessed by the Indemnified Party), including the nature of such Third Party Claim, the amount of Adverse Consequences reasonably and in good faith anticipated to be paid or incurred in connection therewith and the specific provision of this Agreement of this Agreement that entitles such Indemnified Party to indemnification, and (iii) deliver to the Responding Party copies of all pleadings, notices and communications received in writing by the Indemnified Party from such Person with respect to any Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Party; provided, however, that any failure on the part of an Indemnified Party to so notify or provide the information in subparagraph (iii) to the Indemnifying Party shall not limit any of the obligations of the Indemnifying Party under this Article 8 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Proceeding).

(b) Upon receipt of the notice described in Section 8.7(a), the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend the Indemnified Party against the Third-Party Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, provided, that (i) the Responding Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing within fifteen (15) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim, (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third-Party Claim and fulfill its indemnification obligations hereunder, (iii) the Third-Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief, (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third-Party Claim is not, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or the reputation of the Indemnified Party, (v) the Third-Party Claim does not involve or relate to any Intellectual Property of the Company or another Person or any Privacy Law, Privacy Policy or Privacy Procedure or compliance with or violation of any Law, and (vi) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third-Party Claim actively and diligently. The Indemnifying Party will keep the Indemnified Party apprised of all material developments, including settlement offers, with respect to the Third-Party Claim and permit the Indemnified Party to participate in the defense of the Third-Party Claim. So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third-Party Claim in accordance with this Section 8.7(b), the Indemnifying Party will not be responsible for any attorneys’ fees or other expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party regarding the defense of the Third-Party Claim.

(c) In the event that any of the conditions under Section 8.7(b) is or becomes unsatisfied or the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend against the Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim and consent to the entry of any judgment on or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate, provided that the amount paid in the settlement or resolution of any such Third Party Claim to the third-party claimant shall not be determinative of the existence of a right to indemnification of the Indemnified Party hereunder or the amount of any Adverse Consequences relating to such matter, and (ii) the Indemnifying Parties will remain responsible for any Adverse Consequences the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim to the fullest extent provided in this Article 8. In the event the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend against the Third Party Claim or the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (ii) or (vi) of Section 8.7(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, the Indemnifying Parties will reimburse the Indemnified Party promptly and periodically for the costs of defending against the Third-Party Claim (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).

 

-44-


(d) Except in circumstances described in Section 8.7(c), neither the Indemnified Party nor the Indemnifying Party will consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

8.8 Other Indemnification Matters. All indemnification payments under this Article 8 will be deemed adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration. For purposes of determining whether there has been any misrepresentation or breach of a representation or warranty, and for purposes of determining the amount of Adverse Consequences resulting therefrom, all qualifications or exceptions in any representation or warranty relating to or referring to the terms “material”, “materiality”, “in all material respects”, “Material Adverse Effect” or any similar term or phrase shall be disregarded, it being the understanding of the Parties that for purposes of determining liability under this Article 8, the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement shall be read as if such terms and phrases were not included in them. Each Equityholder agrees that (a) such Equityholder will not make any claim for indemnification against Buyer Indemnitee by virtue of the fact that such Equityholders or such Equityholder’s equityholders, directors, managers, partners, officers, employees, representatives or other Affiliates was an trustee, director, manager, officer, employee or agent of the Company, regardless of the nature of the Adverse Consequences claimed, with respect to any Proceeding brought by any Buyer Indemnitee against such Equityholder or any claim of any Buyer Indemnitee against such Equityholder in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) such Equityholder has no claims or rights to contribution or indemnity from the Company with respect to any amounts paid by such Equityholder pursuant to this Article 8.

8.9 Setoff. Buyer shall be entitled, but with respect to the Earn-Out Payments not obligated, to recover any amounts due from the Equityholders under this Agreement by setting off such amounts against first the Escrow Fund and secondly, the Earn-Out Payments. The exercise of such right of set off by Buyer, whether or not ultimately determined to be justified, will not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Neither the exercise nor the failure to exercise such right of set off will constitute an election of remedies or limit Buyer in any manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to it.

8.10 Equityholder Approval. By executing and delivering a Joinder pursuant to Section 4.1, each Equityholder will be deemed to have approved of and consented to the provisions of this Article 8 and the appointment of the Representative.

8.11 Distribution of Escrow. Within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Indemnification Period, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Agent will release to the Exchange Agent an amount (if positive) equal to (i) the balance of the Escrow Fund on such date, less (ii) the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences specified in any then-unresolved indemnification claims (a “Pending Claim”) made by any Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to Article 8 (such amount, “Pending Claims Amount”) which Pending Claims Amount shall remain in the Escrow Fund until the Pending Claim(s) is resolved pursuant to this Article 8. After the Indemnification Period, within five (5) Business Days after any Pending Claim has been resolved and satisfied, Buyer and Representative shall, pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, deliver a joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent to release out of the Pending Claims Amount an amount (if positive) equal to (i) the funds remaining in the Pending Claims Amount at such time, less (ii) the aggregate amount of all Adverse Consequences specified in any remaining Pending Claim.

8.12 Exclusive Remedy. If the Merger is consummated, the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties under this Article 8 shall constitute the sole and exclusive rights, claims and remedies of all Indemnified Parties under this Agreement, any certificates delivered by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement, or any Letter Transmittal against the Indemnifying Parties, including claims of inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth in this Agreement, any certificate delivered by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement or any Letter of Transmittal, except in the case of intentional fraud and equitable remedies (excluding the doctrine of equitable indemnification).

8.13 Time to Bring Claims. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, pursuant to Section 8106, Title 10 of the Delaware Code, the Parties agree that this Agreement involves at least U.S. $100,000, and that any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be brought within twenty (20) years of the date from which the underlying cause of action accrued; it being the intention of the Parties that, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.3 with respect to shorter periods of time, the Parties shall have the maximum amount of time permitted under the Laws of the State of Delaware to bring a Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8.3 with respect to shorter periods of time, each Party hereby waives the right to assert any statute of limitations of less than twenty (20) years in defense of any such Proceeding; provided, however, this waiver shall not bar a defense to any Proceeding that was not commenced within the twenty (20) year time limit imposed by this Section 8.13.

ARTICLE 9

TAX MATTERS

The following provisions will govern the allocation of responsibility as between Buyer and the Equityholders for certain tax matters following the Closing Date:

9.1 Tax Indemnification. In addition to the indemnification provisions of Article 8, except to the extent such Taxes (i) are reflected as a liability for purposes of calculating Working Capital on the final Closing Statement, or are otherwise taken specifically into account in determining the Aggregate Merger Consideration, (ii) result from any events or transactions occurring after the Closing outside the Ordinary Course of Business, (iii) are based upon or arise out of any breach of the covenants or agreements made by Buyer in this Agreement that are to be performed at or prior to the Closing or by Buyer or the Company after the Closing, or (iv) result from the filing any election after the Closing (including any election under Section 338 of the Code) having retroactive effect to any Tax period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, the Equityholders shall be liable for, and shall indemnify, on an individual and several basis and not on a joint and several basis, and hold Buyer Indemnitees harmless from, (a) all Taxes of Equityholders, (b) all Taxes imposed on or incurred by the Company with respect to all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, (c) all Taxes imposed on or incurred by the Company caused by or resulting from the sale or exchange of the Company Securities, (d) for any Tax period that begins before the Closing Date and ends after the Closing Date, all Taxes imposed on or incurred by the Company that relate to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date, and (e) all Taxes of any Person imposed on the Company as a transferee or successor, by contract or otherwise, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing.

9.2 Tax Periods Ending on or Before the Closing Date. Buyer will prepare, or cause to be prepared, and file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Company for all Tax periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Returns”) that are filed after the Closing Date. Buyer will provide the Representative with copies of any Pre-Closing Returns for the Representative’s reasonable review and comment, at least sixty (60) days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any extensions thereto). To the extent any Taxes reflected on any such Tax Return are Taxes for which the Equityholders are liable under Section 9.1, Buyer and the Representative, on behalf of Equityholders, will instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account designated by Buyer, the amount thereof, but only to the extent such Taxes are not reflected as a liability for purposes of calculating Working Capital on the final Closing Statement.

9.3 Tax Periods Beginning Before and Ending After the Closing Date. Buyer will timely prepare, or cause to be prepared, and timely file, or cause to be filed, all Tax Returns for the Company for Tax periods that begin before the Closing Date and end after the Closing Date (each such period being a “Straddle Period” and such Tax Returns being the “Straddle Period Returns”). Buyer will provide the Representative with copies of any Straddle Period Returns at least sixty (60) days prior to the due date thereof (giving effect to any extensions

 

-46-


thereto), accompanied by a statement (the “Straddle Statement”) setting forth and calculating in reasonable detail the Taxes that relate to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date (the “Pre-Closing Taxes”). If the Representative agrees with the Straddle Period Returns and Straddle Statement, and to the extent any Pre-Closing Taxes reflected on any such Tax Return are Taxes for which the Equityholders are liable under Section 9.1, Buyer and the Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to deliver to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to the account designated by Buyer, the amount of the Pre-Closing Taxes as shown on the Straddle Statement, but only to the extent such Taxes are not reflected as a liability for purposes of calculating Working Capital on the final Closing Statement. If, within twenty (20) Business Days after the receipt of any Pre-Closing Returns or the Straddle Period Returns and Straddle Statement, the Representative (a) notifies Buyer that it disputes the manner of preparation of the Pre-Closing Returns, Straddle Period Returns or the Pre-Closing Taxes calculated in the Straddle Statement and (b) provides Buyer with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its computation of the Pre-Closing Taxes and its proposed form of the Straddle Period Returns and Straddle Statement, then Buyer and the Representative shall attempt to resolve their disagreement within five (5) days following the Representative’s notification of Buyer of such disagreement. If Buyer and the Representative are not able to resolve their disagreement, the dispute shall be submitted to the Accountants. The Accountants will resolve the disagreement within thirty (30) days after the date on which they are engaged or as soon as possible thereafter. The determination of the Accountants shall be binding on the Parties. The cost of the services of the Accountants will be borne by the Party (in the case of Representative, such cost will be borne by the Equityholders) whose calculation of the matter in disagreement differs the most from the calculation as finally determined by the Accountants. If each of the Party’s calculation differs equally from the calculation as finally determined by the Accountants, then such cost will be borne half by the Representative (on behalf of the Equityholders) and half by Buyer. For purposes of this Section, in the case of any Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis and are payable for a Tax period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date, the portion of such Tax that relates to the portion of such Tax period ending on the Closing Date (i.e., the Pre-Closing Taxes) will (i) in the case of any property or similar ad valorem Taxes, be deemed to equal the amount of such Tax for the entire Tax period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tax period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Tax period, and (ii) in the case of any Taxes other than those covered in clause (i) above, be deemed to equal the amount that would be payable if the relevant Tax period ended on the Closing Date.

9.4 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer and the Representative will cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing and preparation of Tax Returns pursuant to this Article and any Proceeding related thereto. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer will retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company relating to any Tax period beginning before the Closing Date until thirty (30) days after the expiration of the statute or period of limitations of the respective Tax periods.

9.5 Tax Controversies. The Representative shall control any tax audits, tax disputes or administrative, judicial or other legal proceedings (each a “Tax Controversy”) related to any Tax Return or Taxes of the Company for any Tax period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date, and shall have the right to employ counsel and other advisors of its choice and at the Equityholders’ expense. After the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to control, at its expense, all other Tax Controversies that relate to Taxes or Tax Returns of the Company, and shall have the right to employ counsel and other advisors of its choice at its expense and to control the conduct of such Tax Controversy; provided, however, that in each case, (i) the controlling party shall notify the other of any such Tax Controversy, (ii) the controlling party shall allow the other to participate in any such Tax Controversy at its own expense, and (iii) the other party shall have the right to consent to any settlement or other resolution of such Tax Controversy (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

9.6 Certain Actions. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 9, without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), Buyer shall not, and

 

-47-


shall not permit any Person to, (i) voluntarily approach any Governmental Body regarding any Tax or Tax Return of the Company for any Tax period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, including entering into any “voluntary disclosure program” with any Governmental Body, (ii) amend or re-file any Tax Return of the Company with respect to any Tax period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period, or (iii) consent to any extension or waiver of the limitation period applicable to any Tax Controversy in respect of Taxes for any Tax period that ends on or prior to the Closing Date or the pre-Closing portion of any Straddle Period.

9.7 Refunds. Any Tax refunds that are received by Buyer, the Company, or their respective Affiliates, and any amounts credited against Taxes payable to which any of them becomes entitled, that relate to Taxes of the Company for a Tax period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date, in each case, to the extent such refunds or amounts were not taken into account in determining Working Capital on the final Closing Statement, shall be for the benefit of the Equityholders, and Buyer will pay to the Exchange Agent (or, with respect to any payments with respect to In the Money Options, to the Company), for distribution to the Equityholders, any such refund or the amount of any such credit (net of any expenses incurred by Buyer, the company, or their respective Affiliates in securing such refunds or credits) within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof or actual reduction of Tax payable; provided, however, that the Equityholders shall not be entitled to any refunds or credits attributable to the carryback of a loss or credit from a taxable year or period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Buyer will cooperate with the Representative, and take commercially reasonable steps as may be requested by the Representative, to obtain any such refund or credit.

(a) By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the Merger, and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the consideration payable in connection with the Merger, each Equityholder shall be deemed to have approved the designation of, and hereby designates, Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the Representative for all purposes in connection with this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, including to give and receive notices and communications in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, to authorize and agree to adjustments to the Cash Payment and Earn-Out Amount under Article 1 and other applicable provisions of this Agreement, to authorize distribution of the Amount, to take all actions on behalf of the Equityholders pursuant to this Agreement, Escrow Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement to which such Equityholder is a party, and to take all actions necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing.

(b) The Representative will incur no liability of any kind with respect to any action or omission by the Representative in connection with the Representative’s services pursuant to this Agreement and any Ancillary Agreement, except in the event of liability directly resulting from the Representative’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative shall not be liable for any action or omission pursuant to the advice of counsel. The Equityholders will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Representative from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement and any agreements ancillary hereto, in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred; provided, that in the event that any such Representative Loss is finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Representative, the Representative will reimburse the Equityholders the amount of such indemnified Representative Loss to the extent attributable to such gross negligence or willful misconduct. If not paid directly to the Representative by the Equityholder, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Representative from (i) the funds in the Expense Fund, (ii) the amounts in the Escrow Fund at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders, and (iii) from any Earn-out Payments at such time as any such amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Equityholders; provided, that while this section allows the Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Equityholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred, nor does it prevent the Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. In no event will the Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Equityholders or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any restrictions or limitations on liability or indemnification obligations of, or provisions limiting the recourse against non-parties otherwise applicable to, the Equityholders set forth elsewhere in this Agreement are not intended to be applicable to the indemnities provided to the Representative under this section. The foregoing indemnities will survive the Closing, the resignation or removal of the Representative or the termination of this Agreement.

(c) A decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative will constitute a decision of all the Equityholders and will be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Equityholder, and Buyer may rely upon any such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative as being the decision, act, consent or instruction of each such Equityholder. Buyer Indemnitees are hereby relieved from any Adverse Consequences to any Person for any acts done by such Buyer Indemnitees in accordance with such decision, act, consent or instruction of the Representative.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.15 to the contrary, the Representative shall have no power or authority to act on behalf of any Equityholder with respect to any Equityholder Specific Claim.

(e) The Equityholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Expense Fund and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. As soon as practicable following the completion of the Representative’s responsibilities, the Representative will deliver any remaining balance of the Expense Fund to the Exchange Agent for further distribution to the Equityholders. For tax purposes, the Expense Fund will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Shareholders at the time of Closing.

12.17 Schedules. Nothing in the schedules hereto shall be deemed adequate to disclose an exception to a representation or warranty made herein unless the schedule identifies the exception with reasonable particularity and describes the relevant facts in reasonable detail.

to a representation or warranty made herein (unless the representation or warranty has to do with the existence of the document or other item itself). The Parties intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein shall have independent significance. If any Party has breached any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which the Party has not breached shall not detract from or mitigate the fact that the Party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant. The section numbers in the Disclosure Schedule correspond to the section numbers of the representations and warranties in Article 3; provided, however, that any information disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule under any section number shall be deemed to be disclosed and incorporated into any other section number under Article 3 where such disclosure would be appropriate and such appropriateness is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure. Nothing in the Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in Article 3 or to create any covenant. Inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedule (a) does not represent a determination that such item is material or establish a standard of materiality, (b) does not represent a determination that such item did not arise in the Ordinary Course of Business, (c) does not represent a determination that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement require the consent of third parties, and (d) shall not constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such item.

(“Firm”). After the Closing, it is possible that Firm will represent the Equityholders and/or the Representative on behalf of the Equityholders in connection with the transactions contemplated herein or in connection with any claims for indemnification against the Equityholders. Buyer, the Surviving Corporation, and the Company hereby agree that the Firm (or any successor) may represent the Equityholders in the future in connection with issues that may arise under this Agreement and any claims that may be made pursuant to this Agreement, including a dispute that arises after the Closing between Buyer (and/or the Company) and any Equityholder, even though the interests of such Equityholder may be directly adverse to Buyer or the Company, or even though Firm may be handling ongoing matters for the Company. Each of the parties hereto consents thereto, and waives any conflict of interest arising therefrom, and each such party shall cause any Affiliate thereof to consent to waive any conflict of interest arising from such representation. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that such consent and waiver is voluntary, that it has been carefully considered, and that the parties have consulted with counsel or have been advised they should do so in this connection.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties intend that all communications at or prior to the Closing between the Company or any Equityholder (the “Target Group”), on the one hand, and any of their attorneys, on the other hand, exclusively in connection with the negotiation and documentation of this Agreement and the agreements entered into in connection with the Merger, the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder (collectively, the “Protected Communication”), and will not be disclosed by Firm to Buyer or the Company (following Closing) in any action between Buyer or the Company (following the Closing), on one hand, and the Representative or the Equityholders, on the other hand; provided, however, that (a) the Equityholders may choose to waive the privilege in their sole discretion and (b) in the event of any dispute between Buyer, the Company (following the Closing) or any of their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and a third party (other than a party to this Agreement), on the other hand, after the Closing, the Company and its affiliates may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by Firm or any Equityholder to such third party.
