This Limited Guaranty, dated as of July 20, 2020 (this “Limited Guaranty”), by Thoma Bravo Discover Fund II, L.P. (“TB II”), Thoma Bravo Discover Fund II-A, L.P. (“TB II-A”), Thoma Bravo Discover Executive Fund II, L.P. (“TB Exec”), each a Delaware limited partnership (including its respective Affiliates (as defined in the Merger Agreement) who are permitted assignees hereunder) (each of the foregoing a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), is in favor of Majesco, a California corporation (the “Company”). Reference is hereby made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, among the Company, Magic Intermediate, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”), and Magic Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”). Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

 

1. Limited Guaranty. To induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Guarantors, in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Percentages (as hereinafter defined), hereby expressly, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantee to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the due and punctual observance, performance and discharge of payment of (a) the aggregate amount of the Parent Termination Fee solely if and when any of the Parent Termination Fee is payable pursuant to Section 9.5(c) of the Merger Agreement, (b) the expense reimbursement obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 7.13(e)(ii) of the Merger Agreement and (c) any amounts due by Parent pursuant to Section 9.5(d)(ii) (the Parent Termination Fee described in clause (a) hereof and the obligations described in clauses (b) and (c) hereof, collectively the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, that this Limited Guaranty will expire and will have no further force or effect, and the Company will have no rights hereunder, upon termination of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor hereunder in accordance with Section 6 hereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Limited Guaranty, the maximum aggregate liability of the Guarantors under this Limited Guaranty shall not exceed $42,563,701.75 (the “Maximum Amount”); it being agreed by Parent that this Limited Guaranty may not be enforced against the Guarantors without giving effect to the Maximum Amount. The Company (on behalf of its controlled Affiliates, directors and officers) hereby agrees that (i) the Guarantors shall in no event collectively be required to pay more than the Maximum Amount (or, in the case of each Guarantor, its Pro Rata Percentage (as hereinafter defined) of the Maximum Amount) or make any payment (other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations) pursuant to this Limited Guaranty (with it being understood and agreed that, in circumstances where the Parent Termination Fee is due and payable by Parent, Parent shall have no other payment obligations to the Company, to the extent so provided in the Merger Agreement and subject to Section 9.5(d)(ii) thereof, and this Limited Guaranty shall be construed accordingly), (ii) that no Guarantor or any of its Guarantor Affiliates (as hereinafter defined) shall have any obligation or liability to any Person relating to, arising out of or in connection with, this Limited Guaranty (other than for the Guaranteed Obligations), and (iii) this Limited Guaranty may not be enforced against the Guarantors without giving effect to these limitations (with it being understood and agreed that such limitations are an integral part of each Guarantor executing and delivering this Limited Guaranty and no Guarantor would have delivered this Limited Guaranty if such limitations were not given full force and effect); provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the foregoing shall not limit the Company’s rights under the Equity Commitment Letter (subject to the limitations set forth therein).

 

All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds. The Company may not bring a claim against any Guarantor under or in respect of this Limited Guaranty unless and until the Merger Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Article IX of the Merger Agreement in the manner set forth therein. If Parent fails to pay all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations when due under the Merger Agreement, then the Guarantor’s liability to the Company hereunder in respect of such applicable Guaranteed Obligations shall, at the Company’s option, become immediately due and payable, and the Company may at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option, take any and all actions available hereunder or under applicable law to collect the Guaranteed Obligations from the Guarantor.

 

 

2. Terms of Limited Guaranty.

 

(a) This Limited Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty of performance and payment, not collection, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any or all of the Guarantors to enforce this Limited Guaranty up to an amount equal to the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against Parent or Merger Sub or whether Parent or Merger Sub are joined in any such action or actions.

 

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein and without amending or limiting the other provisions of this Limited Guaranty, the liability of the Guarantors under this Limited Guaranty shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

 

(i) the value, genuineness, regularity, illegality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement, any financing commitment letters or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or in the Merger Agreement;

 

(ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of Parent or Merger Sub or any Guarantor or any other Person, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceeding affecting Parent or Merger Sub or the Guarantors or any other Person or any of their respective assets;

 

(iii) any waiver, amendment or modification of the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or any financing commitment letters or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, in accordance with its terms, or change in the time, manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, any Guaranteed Obligation, any escrow arrangement or other security therefor, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any agreement entered into by the Company or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent and/or Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, in connection therewith;

 

(iv) except as specified in Section 2(e), the existence of any claim, set off or other right that any Guarantor may have at any time against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, or any of their Affiliates, whether in connection with any Guaranteed Obligation or otherwise;

 

(v) the failure or delay on the part of the Company to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Parent or Merger Sub or any Guarantor or any other Person;

 

(vi) the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, any financing commitment letters, this Limited Guaranty or any related agreement or document;

 

(vii) the adequacy of any other means the Company may have of obtaining repayment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; and

 

2

 

 

(viii) any other defense that might operate as a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety.

 

(c) The Guarantors hereby waive any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Company upon this Limited Guaranty or acceptance of this Limited Guaranty. All of the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Limited Guaranty, and all dealings between Parent, Merger Sub or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Limited Guaranty. This Limited Guaranty is a primary obligation of the Guarantors and is not merely the creation of a surety relationship. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Company shall be under no obligation to pursue such rights and remedies it may have against Parent or Merger Sub or any other Person for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Company to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from Parent or Merger Sub or any such other Person or to realize upon or to exercise any such right of offset shall not relieve any Guarantor of any liability hereunder.

 

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to any Guaranteed Obligation in the event that Parent or Merger Sub becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file such claim shall not affect any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any bar to the payment, or collection, of any Guaranteed Obligations as a result of any such proceeding shall not discharge the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder). In the event that any payment to the Company in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantors shall remain liable hereunder with respect to the Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made.

 

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Limited Guaranty, the Company hereby agrees on its own behalf and on behalf of its controlled Affiliates, directors and officers, that (i) each Guarantor may assert, as a defense to, or release or discharge of, any payment or performance by such Guarantor under this Limited Guaranty or any claim, set-off, deduction, defense or release that Parent could assert against the Company under the terms of, or with respect to, the Merger Agreement and (ii) any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of the Merger Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach by the Company or the Principal Stockholder of any representation, warranty or covenant contained therein or in any of the agreements, certificates and other documents required to be delivered by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (whether such breach results from willful misconduct, fraud, intentional misrepresentation or otherwise), that would relieve Parent of its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall likewise automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person relieve the Guarantors of their obligations under this Limited Guaranty.

 

3. Waiver of Acceptance, Presentment; Etc.. Without amending or limiting the other provisions of this Limited Guaranty, each Guarantor expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights and defenses arising under any applicable law that would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Company, promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Limited Guaranty and of any Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand and protest, any defenses that might be available under any valuation, stay, moratorium or similar applicable law, and any notice of any kind not provided for herein or not required to be provided to Parent or Merger Sub under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, any right to require the marshalling of assets of Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally, other than defenses that are available to Parent or Merger Sub (a) under the Merger Agreement, (b) in respect of a breach by the Company of this Limited Guaranty and (c) in respect of fraud or Willful Breach by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Limited Guaranty or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Limited Guaranty are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

5. Merger Subrogation. The Guarantors will not exercise any rights of subrogation or contribution against Parent or Merger Sub, whether arising by contract or operation of Law (including, without limitation, any such right arising under bankruptcy or insolvency Laws) or otherwise, by reason of any payment by any of them pursuant to the provisions of Section 1 hereof unless and until the Guaranteed Obligation has been paid in full

 

6. Termination. The Guarantor shall have no further liability or obligation under this Limited Guaranty from and after the earliest to occur of: (i) funding of the Commitment (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) under the Equity Commitment Letter; (ii) the Effective Time; (iii) (a) the payment and discharge of any expense reimbursement obligations of Parent pursuant to Section 7.13(e)(ii) of the Merger Agreement which the Company has requested reimbursement for within 90 days following the valid termination of the Merger Agreement and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, other than a termination pursuant to which the Company would be entitled to the Parent Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Merger Agreement, in which case the Limited Guaranty shall terminate 90 days after such termination unless the Company shall have delivered a written notice with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations prior to such 90th day; provided that if the Merger Agreement has been so terminated and such notice has been provided, the Guarantors shall have no further liability or obligation under this Limited Guaranty from and after the earliest to occur of (x) the consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, including payment of the Merger Consideration (as defined in the Equity Commitment Letter) in accordance with the Merger Agreement, (y) a final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction in accordance with Section 15 hereof determining that the Guarantor does not owe any amount under this Limited Guaranty and (z) a written agreement among the Guarantors and the Company terminating the obligations and liabilities of the each Guarantor pursuant to this Limited Guaranty; and (iv) payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of the Guarantors, Parent and/or Merger Sub.

7. Continuing Guaranty. Except to the extent that the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor are terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 6 hereof, this Limited Guaranty is a continuing one and shall remain in full force and effect until the indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, shall be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Company and its respective successors and permitted transferees and assigns. All obligations to which this Limited Guaranty applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Limited Guaranty, the Company hereby agrees that to the extent that Parent and Merger Sub are relieved of any of their representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in the Merger Agreement so as to render any continuing liability or obligations arising in connection with the Merger Agreement inapplicable, each Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its applicable Guaranteed Obligation under this Limited Guaranty solely to the extent that Parent or Merger Sub are relieved of such obligations.

 

8. Entire Agreement. This Limited Guaranty, together with the Merger Agreement and the agreements and instruments described therein, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter, constitutes the entire agreement between the Guarantors and the Company with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, proposals, undertakings, agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

9. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Limited Guaranty will be valid and binding unless it is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Guarantors and the Company, or in the case of waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. No waiver by any party of any breach or violation of, or default under, this Limited Guaranty, whether intentional or not, will be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent breach, violation or default hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. No delay or omission on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Limited Guaranty will operate as a waiver thereof. The Company shall not have any obligation to proceed at any time or in any manner against, or exhaust any or all of the Company’s rights against, Parent or Merger Sub prior to proceeding against any Guarantor hereunder.

 

10. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of this Limited Guaranty which reference Guarantor Affiliates (each of which shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by each Guarantor Affiliate), the parties hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of the other parties hereto, in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Limited Guaranty, and this Limited Guaranty is not intended to, and does not, confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and any Guarantor Affiliates any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representations and warranties set forth herein.

 

11. Counterparts. This Limited Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. This Limited Guaranty will become effective when duly executed by each party hereto.

 

12. Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Limited Guaranty and any signed agreement or instrument entered into in connection with this Limited Guaranty, and any amendments or waivers hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file (or similar electronic delivery), shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement or instrument and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No party hereto or to any such agreement or instrument shall raise the use of e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file (or similar electronic delivery) to deliver a signature to this Limited Guaranty or any amendment hereto or the fact that any signature or agreement or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file (or similar electronic delivery) as a defense to the formation of a contract and each party hereto forever waives any such defense. All parties hereto acknowledge that each party and its counsel have participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Limited Guaranty and that any rules of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Limited Guaranty.
