STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

THIS STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 9, 2015, is made by and among TGG Medical Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), Mallinckrodt Enterprises LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”), Mallinckrodt plc, an Irish public limited company (“Parent”) (solely for purposes of Section 12.20), and TGG Medical Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings set forth in Article XI below.

WHEREAS, the Seller is the record and beneficial owner of 1,000 shares of Series A common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company (the “Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Shares represent all of the issued and outstanding equity securities (and rights to acquire equity securities) of the Company;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which the Seller shall sell to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser shall purchase from the Seller, all of the Shares; and

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

SALE AND PURCHASE OF SHARES

1.01 Sale and Purchase of Shares. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and deliver to the Purchaser at the Closing, and the Purchaser agrees that it shall purchase and accept delivery from the Seller of all of the Shares, which Shares shall constitute all of the outstanding equity securities (and rights to acquire equity securities) of the Company, free and clear of any Liens.

1.02 Consideration. As consideration for the Shares, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller, in the manner described herein, an amount equal to the Closing Cash Consideration (which shall be paid at the Closing) plus the Additional Consideration (which shall be paid if and when payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement).

1.03 Closing Calculations. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser, its written estimate and supporting calculations (the “Closing Statement”) of (i) Cash (the “Estimated Cash”), (ii) Indebtedness (the “Estimated Indebtedness”), (iii) Net Working Capital (the “Estimated Net Working Capital Amount”) and (iv) Transaction Expenses (the “Estimated Transaction Expenses”).

 

1


During the preparation of the Closing Statement (if requested by Purchaser) and after the delivery of the Closing Statement, Purchaser and its Representatives shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and to discuss with the Company and its Representatives the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ working papers and other books and records and the working papers of the Company’s independent accountants, if any, relating to the preparation of the Closing Statement and the calculation of the Estimated Cash, Estimated Indebtedness, Estimated Net Working Capital Amount and Estimated Transaction Expenses.

1.04 Final Closing Balance Sheet Calculation. Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Purchaser will deliver to the Seller a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) and a statement showing the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital derived from the Closing Balance Sheet and of Transaction Expenses (together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Preliminary Statement”). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared and Cash, Indebtedness and Net Working Capital shall be determined (including by the Company for purposes of Section 1.03) on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied, using the same accounting methods, policies, principles, practices and procedures, with consistent classifications, judgments and estimation methodology, as were used in the preparation of the calculation of Net Working Capital set forth on Exhibit A, and to the extent not specified on Exhibit A, in the preparation of the Latest Balance Sheet, and shall not include any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments or other changes arising from or resulting as a consequence of the transactions contemplated hereby. After delivery of the Preliminary Statement and until the end of the Review Period, the Seller and its accountants and other Representatives shall be permitted reasonable access to review the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records and any work papers related to the preparation of the Preliminary Statement. The Seller and its accountants and other Representatives may make reasonable inquiries of the Purchaser, the Company and their respective accountants regarding questions concerning or disagreements with the Preliminary Statement arising in the course of their review thereof, and the Purchaser shall use its, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to use their, commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such accountants to cooperate with and respond to such inquiries. At the request of the Seller, the Company shall provide the Seller with reasonable access to the financial and accounting staff of the Company and all information reasonably requested by Seller in each case in connection with Seller’s review of the Preliminary Statement and any objections or disputes with respect thereto pursuant to this Section 1.04. If the Seller has any objections to the Preliminary Statement, the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser a statement setting forth in reasonable detail its objections thereto, including (if Seller has sufficient substantiating information) its calculation of each disputed item (an “Objections Statement”). If an Objections Statement is not delivered (or is delivered only as to a specific portion or portions of the Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital or Transaction Expenses calculation) to the Purchaser within sixty (60) days after delivery of the Preliminary Statement to the Seller (such sixty (60) day period, the “Review Period”), the Preliminary Statement (or such portion of it that is not in dispute) shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the parties hereto. The Seller and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any such objections, but if they do not reach a final resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objections Statement (the “Negotiation Period”), the Seller and the Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the end of the Negotiation Period, submit such dispute to Grant Thornton LLP or, if Grant Thornton LLP is unavailable or is unwilling to serve,

 

2


another firm (other than a Big Four accounting firm) mutually agreed upon by the parties (the “Valuation Firm”); provided that if Purchaser and the Seller are unable to agree upon such firm within ten (10) days after the end of the Negotiation Period, then the Valuation Firm shall be an accounting or valuation firm of national standing (other than a Big Four accounting firm) appointed by the American Arbitration Association in New York, New York (provided that such firm shall not be the independent auditor of (or otherwise provide services under a contractual arrangement with) either Purchaser (or any of its Affiliates) or the Seller (or any of its Affiliates (excluding private equity fund portfolio companies)). Any further submissions to the Valuation Firm must be written and delivered to each party to the dispute. The Valuation Firm shall consider only those disputes submitted to it for resolution. In resolving each such dispute, the Valuation Firm (i) shall make its determination based solely on the presentations and supporting material provided by Purchaser and Seller and not pursuant to any independent review and (ii) may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Seller or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either Purchaser or Seller. The Valuation Firm shall make a final determination of Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, and the resulting Final Cash Consideration calculated with reference to such amounts to the extent such amounts are in dispute. The parties will cooperate with the Valuation Firm during the term of its engagement. The determination of Cash, Indebtedness, Net Working Capital and Transaction Expenses, and the resulting Final Cash Consideration calculated with reference thereto, shall become final and binding on the parties on the date the Valuation Firm delivers its final resolution in writing to the parties (which final resolution the Valuation Firm shall deliver to Purchaser and Seller as promptly as practicable and in any event shall endeavor to do so within thirty (30) days after its appointment). The Purchaser and the Seller will retain the Valuation Firm and each pay 50% of any retainer. During the engagement, the Valuation Firm will bill 50% of the total charges to the Purchaser and 50% of the total charges to the Seller. The Valuation Firm shall allocate the final fees and expenses of such firm’s work based upon the percentage of the contested amount not awarded to each party (i.e., if the Seller submits an Objections Statement for $1,000, the Purchaser contests only $500 of the amount claimed by the Seller, and the Valuation Firm ultimately resolves the dispute by awarding the Seller $300 of the contested amount, then the costs and expenses of the Valuation Firm will be allocated 60% to the Purchaser and 40% to the Seller).

1.05 Post-Closing Adjustment Payment. If the Final Cash Consideration is greater than the Closing Cash Consideration, the Purchaser shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) pay to the Seller the amount of such excess, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated in writing by the Seller to the Purchaser. If the Final Cash Consideration is less than the Closing Cash Consideration, the Seller shall promptly (but in any event within two (2) Business Days) pay to the Purchaser the absolute value of such shortfall by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated in writing by the Purchaser to the Seller. If the Final Cash Consideration is less than the Closing Cash Consideration and the Seller does not pay the amount due pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence when due, Purchaser may, at its option, cause funds to be released from the Escrow Account in an amount equal to such amount, whereupon Seller shall promptly fund the Escrow Amount with the amount so released.

(f) the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller shall make such other deliveries as are required by Article III hereof; and

(g) simultaneously with the Closing, the Purchaser shall pay, or cause to be paid, on behalf of the Seller and the Company (as applicable), the Estimated Transaction Expenses by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by the Seller.

2.03 Withholding.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY AND THE SELLER

Subject to such exceptions as are set forth in the correspondingly numbered section of the disclosure schedules accompanying this Agreement (each, a “Schedule” and, collectively, the “Disclosure Schedules”) (it being agreed that disclosure of any item in any section of Article IV of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed disclosure with respect to any other section of this Article IV to which the relevance of such item is reasonably apparent on its face) the Company and the Seller represent and warrant to the Purchaser as of the date of this Agreement as follows:

4.01 Organization and Organizational Power. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and the Company has all requisite power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to own and operate its properties and to carry on its businesses as now conducted, except where the failure to hold such authorizations, licenses and permits would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. The Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. The Company is qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the conduct of business as now conducted requires it to qualify, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. Seller is qualified to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the conduct of business as now conducted requires it to qualify, except where the failure to be so qualified and in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially hinder, impair or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the ability of Seller to perform its obligations under this Agreement in a timely manner. True and complete copies of the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (each as amended to date) of the Company have been made available to the Purchaser. The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company are in full force and effect and the Company is not in violation of any of the provisions of either its certificate of incorporation or bylaws.

4.02 Subsidiaries. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries owns or holds the right to acquire any stock, partnership interest or joint venture interest or other equity ownership interest in any other Person, other than as set forth on Schedule 4.02, which Schedule sets forth a true and complete list of all Subsidiaries of the Company, all of the equity ownership

interests of which are held by the Company or a wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company free and clear of all Liens. All issued and outstanding stock or other equity interests of each Subsidiary of the Company have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable, were issued in compliance with securities Laws and were not issued in violation of preemptive or other similar rights. No Subsidiary of the Company is a party to any voting trusts, stockholder agreements, proxies or other agreements in effect with respect to the voting or transfer of any of its equity interests. Each of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 4.02 is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, has all requisite power and authority and all authorizations, licenses and permits necessary to own its properties and to carry on its businesses as now conducted and is qualified to do business and in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the conduct of its businesses as now conducted requires it to qualify, except in each such case where the failure to hold such authorizations, licenses and permits or to be so qualified or in good standing would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole. True and complete copies of the organizational documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries have been made available to the Purchaser. The organizational documents of each of the Company’s Subsidiaries are in full force and effect and none of the Company’s Subsidiaries is in violation of any of the provisions of its organizational documents.

(d) From the date hereof until the Closing Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates shall not enter into agreements providing for the acquisition of (or acquire) an equity interest in or the assets of, or the merger with, any Person that derives revenues from products, services or lines of business similar to the Company’s products, services or lines of business, if such action would be reasonably likely to prevent or materially delay the Closing pursuant to any Antitrust Laws.

6.04 Conditions. The Company and the Seller shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 to be satisfied as soon as practicable following the date hereof, to cause the Closing to occur as expeditiously as possible following the execution of this Agreement, and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing itself).

32


6.06 Confidentiality. For a period of five (5) years following the Closing (and, with respect to any information received pursuant to Section 7.01, for a period of five (5) years following such receipt), Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, keep confidential all confidential and proprietary information of the Company, its Subsidiaries and the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries (collectively, “Confidential Information”); provided, however, that (x) the foregoing obligation shall not apply to any Confidential Information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.06), or (ii) is or becomes available to Seller or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Seller or the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, so long as such source is not known by such Person (after reasonable inquiry) to be subject to another confidentiality obligation to the Company or its Affiliates, (y) nothing herein shall restrict Seller or any its Affiliates from disclosing (A) financial return or other financial performance or statistical information (e.g., levels of debt, debt paydown or cash flows) in connection with its normal fundraising, marketing, informational or reporting activities to current and potential equityholders or investors, provided that any recipient thereof is subject to a confidentiality obligation with respect thereto and/or (B) Confidential Information in connection with any dispute with Purchaser, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries related to this Agreement and (z) Seller and its Affiliates may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable Law or legal or administrative process, provided that Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser (to the extent legally permissible) in advance of such disclosure so that Purchaser may seek, at Purchaser’s sole expense (and Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in seeking) a protective order or other appropriate remedy in lieu of or with respect to such disclosure and/or waive compliance with this Section 6.06, and to the extent legally permissible, Seller will attempt to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to the information ultimately furnished.

6.07 Section 280G. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall seek approval by the stockholders, in accordance with Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code, of the right of any “disqualified individual” (within the meaning of Section 280G(c) of the Code and the regulations thereunder) to receive or retain any payments that would, in the absence of such stockholder approval, constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code. Prior to seeking such approval, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each disqualified individual waivers that provide that no payments and/or benefits that would separately or in the aggregate constitute “excess parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code (“Parachute Payments”) with respect to such disqualified individual shall, in the absence of such stockholder approval referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, be payable to or retained by such disqualified individual to the extent such Parachute Payments would not be deductible by reason of the application of Section 280G of the Code or would result in the imposition of the excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code on such disqualified individual. All materials produced by the Company in connection with the implementation of this Section 6.07 shall be provided to the Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days in advance for the Purchaser’s review and comment, and the Company shall consider any of the Purchaser’s requested changes or comments in good faith and not unreasonably omit them. At least three (3) Business Days prior to seeking the stockholder approval described in this Section 6.07, with respect to each “disqualified individual” of the Company, the Company shall furnish (a) a schedule that sets forth (i) the Company’s reasonable, good faith estimate of all payments or benefits that could be provided to such disqualified individual as a result of any of

 

33


the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (alone or in combination with any other event) (other than any such amounts to be provided pursuant to arrangements entered into with the Purchaser), and (ii) the “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) for each such individual, and (b) the underlying data and documentation on which such schedule is based. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company cannot compel any disqualified individual to waive any existing rights under any contract or agreement that such disqualified individual has with the Company, and, provided that the Company has sought waivers from such disqualified individuals pursuant to this Section 6.07, the Company shall not be deemed in breach of this Section 6.07 if any such disqualified individual refuses to waive any such right and the Company shall not be required to pay any amount to any such individual in connection with seeking such waivers.

6.08 Retention of Funds.

(a) Following Closing, until the expiration of Seller’s obligation to indemnify Purchaser with respect to the Specified Matters, Seller shall retain $50,000,000 of the proceeds received at the Closing; provided, however, that Seller may provide for a portion of such $50,000,000 to be represented by capital commitments of Seller’s members in the form set forth in Exhibit D (each, a “Capital Commitment”) (copies of which shall be provided to Purchaser upon execution), in which case the amount of proceeds that Seller is required to retain pursuant to this sentence shall be reduced by the amount of such Capital Commitments (but Seller shall not be released from any of its indemnification obligations); provided that any party executing any such Capital Commitment shall have sufficient resources to satisfy the full amount of such Capital Commitment (the determination thereof being reasonably agreed to by the Purchaser). The amount of any such Capital Commitment shall be equal to the Specified Matters Distribution Amount set forth therein. It is acknowledged and agreed that Seller shall make separate distributions out of the $50,000,000 referred to in this Section 6.08(a) in connection with the execution of Capital Commitments, and out of and the remaining proceeds in connection with the execution of Assumption Agreements pursuant to Section 6.08(b), respectively, such that any Specified Matters Distribution Amount in a Capital Commitment entered into by a member of Seller shall not include any amount constituting all or any portion of a Distribution Amount in an Assumption Agreement entered into by such member, and vice versa.

(b) Seller shall not distribute any funds to any of its members unless such member receiving a distribution enters into an agreement in the form set forth in Exhibit E (an “Assumption Agreement”) (copies of which shall be provided to Purchaser upon execution) obligating such member to pay its Pro Rata Share of any indemnification obligations in respect of Fundamental Rep/Covenant Claims, in which case Seller’s aggregate maximum liability for indemnification in respect of Fundamental Rep/Covenant Claims shall be reduced by the Distribution Amount set forth in such Assumption Agreement, and Purchaser’s recourse for indemnification in respect of such Pro Rata Share of indemnification in respect of any Fundamental Rep/Covenant Claim shall thereafter be to the counterparty of such Assumption Agreement until such counterparty’s aggregate liability thereunder is equal to such Distribution Amount (but Seller shall not otherwise be released from any of its indemnification obligations).

(c) Until the Final Cash Consideration has been finally determined in accordance with Section 1.04 and any amounts required to be paid pursuant to Section 1.05 have been paid, Seller shall retain sufficient funds from the proceeds received at Closing in order to satisfy any payment obligation it may have pursuant to Section 1.05.

 

34


6.09 Termination of Affiliate Arrangements. Except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Seller and the Purchaser, the Seller shall procure the termination of all Affiliate Arrangements effective as of no later than the Closing, without any liability (contingent or otherwise) to the Company or any of its Affiliates, and shall deliver to the Purchaser documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Purchaser to the foregoing effect.

COVENANTS OF THE PURCHASER

7.01 Access to Books and Records. From and after the Closing, for a period of seven (7) years, the Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, provide the Seller and its authorized Representatives with reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice, for the purposes of complying with applicable Tax Laws and for defending any third-party claims against Seller in each case to the extent related to transactions involving the Company occurring prior to the Closing or to the extent arising out of or related to the ownership of the Company by Seller (in each case other than with respect to litigation or other disputes between the parties), to (i) the books and records (for the purpose of examining and copying) of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to periods or occurrences prior to the Closing and (ii) employees of the Purchaser, the Company and their Affiliates for purposes of better understanding such books and records; provided that Seller and its authorized Representatives shall conduct any such activities in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the business or operations of the Company; provided, further, that Purchaser and the Company shall not be obligated to provide such access or information if the Company determines, in its reasonable judgment, that doing so would violate applicable Law or a Contract or obligation of confidentiality owing to a third party, or jeopardize the protection of the attorney-client privilege (provided, in the case of obligations of confidentiality owing to a third party, that the Company shall request a waiver of any such obligation of confidentiality or permit Seller to request such a waiver and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such access or information in an alternative manner that does not have the foregoing effects). Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the Seller, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not permit the Company or its Subsidiaries to, for a period of seven (7) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of the Company or its Subsidiaries for any period prior to the Closing Date without first giving reasonable prior notice to the Seller and offering to surrender to the Seller such books and records or any portion thereof which the Purchaser or the Company may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of.

7.02 Director and Officer Liability and Indemnification.

35


by Law), it being the intent of the parties that the officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall continue to be entitled to such exculpation and indemnification (including fee advancement) to the full extent of the Law. Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, honor and perform under all indemnification obligations owed to any of the individuals who were officers and/or directors of the Company or its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing Date and which were provided to the Purchaser and are listed on Schedule 7.02(a).

(b) Prior to or at the Closing, Purchaser shall purchase (or cause to be purchased) a prepaid insurance policy (i.e., “tail coverage”) which policy provides liability insurance coverage for the individuals who were officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing Date on no less favorable terms (including in amount and scope) as the policy or policies maintained by the Company or its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing for the benefit of such individuals for an aggregate period of not less than six (6) years with respect to claims arising from acts, events or omissions that occurred at or prior to the Closing, including with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be required to pay an aggregate annual premium for such insurance policy in excess of 300% of the annual premium paid by the Company for coverage for its last full fiscal year for such insurance. Such policy shall be from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

(c) If the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) is to consolidate with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of their properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall assume all of the obligations set forth in this Section 7.02. The provisions of this Section 7.02 are intended for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each current and former officer, director or similar functionary of the Company or its Subsidiaries and his or her heirs and representatives. The rights granted pursuant to this Section 7.02 are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have had by contract or otherwise.

(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before, at or after the Closing Date) is made against any individuals who were officers and directors of the Company and its Subsidiaries at or prior to the Closing Date or any other party covered by directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Closing Date, the provisions of this Section 7.02 shall continue in effect until the final disposition of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation.

7.03 Employment and Benefit Arrangements.

(a) For at least twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall cause the Company to provide each continuing employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries with (i) a base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, that is equivalent to the base salary or base wage rate, as applicable, provided to such employee prior to the Closing, and (ii) all other compensation and employee benefits (other than any equity-based compensation) that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to the other compensation and employee benefits (excluding equity-based compensation) provided to similarly situated employees of Purchaser.

 

36


(b) Employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries participating in The Gores Group, LLC 401(k) Plan (the “Seller 401(k) Plan”) and any Gores Group, LLC welfare plans (the “Seller Welfare Plans”) shall cease active participation in the Seller 401(k) Plan and Seller Welfare Plans effective as of the Closing Date. Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Section 7.03, the Purchaser shall cause such employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries to become immediately eligible to participate in a 401(k) plan and welfare plans sponsored or maintained by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. For a period of six (6) months following the Closing Date, at the election of such employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries, Purchaser shall cause its 401(k) plan (or a 401(k) plan maintained by any of its Affiliates) to accept any “eligible rollover distributions” (as defined under Section 402(c)(4) of the Code) made from the Seller 401(k) Plan to such employees. Prior to the Closing, the Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by the Purchaser to effectuate the Purchaser’s obligations under this Section 7.03(b); provided that such cooperation shall not require the Seller to make any payments or otherwise expend funds.

(c) The Purchaser shall take all actions necessary so that employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall receive service credit for all purposes (other than for purposes of benefit accrual under a defined benefit pension plan) under any compensation or benefit plans, programs, arrangements, agreements and policies sponsored by the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in which such employees are eligible to participate, except to the extent duplication of benefits would result. To the extent that the Purchaser modifies any welfare benefit coverage or plan under which the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries participate, the Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any applicable waiting periods, pre-existing conditions or actively-at-work requirements and shall give such employees credit under the new coverages or benefit plans for deductibles, co-insurance and out-of-pocket payments that have been paid during the year in which such welfare benefit coverage or plan modification occurs.

(d) Nothing in this Section 7.03 shall be construed to (i) establish, amend, or modify any Employee Benefit Plan or any other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) alter or limit Purchaser’s, the Company’s or any of their Affiliates’ ability to amend, modify or terminate any such Employee Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, agreement or arrangement in accordance with their terms, (iii) give any third party, including any employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof, any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 7.03 as a third-party beneficiary, including with respect to a right to employment or continued employment for any period of time by reason of this Agreement.

7.04 Conditions. The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 to be satisfied as soon as practicable following the date hereof, to cause the Closing to occur as expeditiously as possible following the execution of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein as soon as possible after the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article III (other than those to be satisfied at the Closing

itself); provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall only be required to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval contemplated by Section 3.01(e)(ii).

7.05 Contact with Customers, Employees and Suppliers. Prior to the Closing, the Purchaser and the Purchaser’s Representatives (acting on Purchaser’s behalf) may only contact and communicate with the employees, customers, service providers and suppliers of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby after prior consultation with and written approval of the Seller (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that the foregoing shall not limit Purchaser’s and the Purchaser’s Representatives from undertaking the foregoing activities in the ordinary course of business with the customers, service providers and suppliers of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

38


delivered hereunder (disregarding, except in the case of Section 4.05 (Financial Statements), clause (y) of the first sentence of Section 4.06 (Absence of Certain Developments), clause (e) of the second sentence of Section 4.06, Section 4.09(a)(iii), and Section 4.15 (Healthcare Laws and Regulations), all references to “material”, “Material Adverse Effect” and similar qualifications as to materiality set forth therein) as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date as though then made (or, in the case of those representations and warranties that address matters as of particular dates, as of such dates), subject to the last sentence of Section 8.02(c) hereof or (ii) a breach of or a failure by Seller or the Company to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of claims arising from a breach of a representation or warranty (other than a Fundamental Representation or any representation or warranty in respect of Taxes), no such claims by the Purchaser shall be so asserted unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable hereunder from the Escrow Account exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to $13,250,000 (the “Deductible”), and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible. In no event shall any party be entitled to recover or make a claim for, and in no event shall Losses include, any amounts in respect of consequential, special, incidental, punitive or indirect damages, loss of goodwill or possible business or lost profits, except in each case to the extent awarded to a third party.

(b) The aggregate maximum liability for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) in respect of inaccuracies in or breaches of representations and warranties (other than Fundamental Representations) shall not exceed $19,875,000 and any such claims shall be satisfied solely and exclusively from the Escrow Account in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. The aggregate maximum liability for indemnification under Section 8.02(a) in respect of inaccuracies in or breaches of Fundamental Representations or breaches of or failures by Seller or the Company to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement (any such inaccuracy, breach or failure to perform, a “Fundamental Rep/Covenant Claim”) shall not exceed the Final Cash Consideration, less the aggregate of the Distribution Amounts set forth in any Assumption Agreements entered into pursuant to Section 6.08(b).

(c) From and after the Closing, Seller shall indemnify each Purchaser Indemnified Person and hold them harmless against all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including any and all fines, penalties, Judgments (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2012, by and among Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc., TGG Medical Solutions, Inc. and Gores Capital Partners III, L.P. (as amended, the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), awards, relator’s(s’) attorneys’ fees, costs, and settlements) imposed by any Judgment or settlement resulting from, and any out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in defending, the Specified Matters; provided that the aggregate maximum liability for indemnification under this Section 8.02(c) shall not exceed $50,000,000, less any amounts received by Purchaser under any Capital Commitment entered into pursuant to Section 6.08(a); provided, further, that no indemnification shall be provided under this Section 8.02(c) for any costs or expenses arising from compliance of the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates (including the Company or any of its Subsidiaries) with any CIA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) entered into in connection with a settlement of, or Judgment arising from, the Specified Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 8.02(c) shall be the sole source of indemnification under this Agreement for any of the matters described in this Section 8.02(c).

 

39


(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Purchaser Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover any Losses for any claim under clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 8.02(a) unless and until the amount of Losses that otherwise would be payable pursuant to clause (i) of the first sentence of Section 8.02(a) with respect to such claim exceeds $250,000 (the “Per Claim Threshold”), and then Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the first dollar of such claim, it being understood that claims that arise out of substantially related facts or circumstances shall be aggregated for purposes of this sentence and that any Losses for amounts less than the Per Claim Threshold shall be ignored in determining whether the Deductible has been exceeded. From and after the Closing, indemnification pursuant to this Section 8.02 and the Escrow Agreement constitutes the parties’ sole and exclusive monetary remedies for any and all Losses or other claims relating to or arising from this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (including in any Exhibit, Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder), it being understood that any and all other monetary remedies with respect thereto are expressly waived and released by the parties on behalf of themselves and each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. The Purchaser and the Seller each agrees that other than indemnification of the Purchaser Indemnified Persons and the Seller Indemnified Persons, respectively, if and as required by the terms of this Agreement, under no circumstances will the Seller or any of its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) have any liability to the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, or their respective officers, directors, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”), or will any Purchaser Party have any liability to any Seller Party, in each case relating to or arising from this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including in any Exhibit, Schedule or certificate delivered hereunder or the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall limit any rights and remedies under Article I, with respect to the right to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief (including pursuant to Section 12.17) or with respect to claims or remedies for fraud.

(e) None of the Purchaser Parties or the Seller Parties may avoid the limitations on liability set forth in this Article VIII by seeking damages for breach of contract, tort or pursuant to any other theory of liability and, except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, each of the Purchaser, for itself and the other Purchaser Parties, and the Seller, for itself and the other Seller Parties, hereby waives, from and after the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all other rights, claims and causes of action it may have against the Seller Parties and the Purchaser Parties, respectively, relating (directly or indirectly) to the subject matter of this Agreement or the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing arising under or based upon any Law or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser shall have no right to indemnification hereunder for the amount of any Loss or alleged Loss to the extent such amount of such Loss or alleged Loss is included in the calculation of Transaction Expenses paid at Closing or the calculation of Cash, Indebtedness or Net Working Capital as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.04.

 

40


(f) All payments made from the Escrow Account shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the proceeds received by the Seller and paid by the Purchaser pursuant to Article II hereof.

(g) (i) Except for the Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.02(b) or by Seller pursuant to the last sentence of Section 1.05, no Person (including any Seller Party) shall have any obligation to fund the Escrow Account and (ii) title and all rights to all funds in the Escrow Account shall automatically transfer to the Seller on the Survival Period Termination Date in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided that if prior to such date a Valid Claim Notice has been delivered, an amount sufficient to satisfy any pending claims set forth in such notice shall be retained in the Escrow Account until such claims are finally resolved and then distributed in accordance with such resolution; and provided, further, that if a Purchaser Indemnified Person is entitled to an indemnification payment in respect of a Fundamental Rep/Covenant Claim or pursuant to Section 8.02(c) and such amount is not paid to the Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days, Seller shall, at Purchaser’s election, execute joint escrow instructions with Purchaser causing funds to be released to Purchaser from the Escrow Account in the amount of such payment, whereupon, provided that the obligation under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement to maintain any amount in escrow has not terminated at the time of such release, each Person that was obligated to make such indemnification payment (i.e., Seller and/or the applicable counterparty to an Assumption Agreement) shall promptly fund the Escrow Account with an amount equal to the indemnification payment that such Person was obligated to make.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any claim for Losses made by the Purchaser against the Escrow Account pursuant to Section 8.02(a) prior to the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date that results in funds being retained in the Escrow Account beyond such date pursuant to the Escrow Agreement shall be deemed to have been withdrawn unless such claim is asserted by a Purchaser Indemnified Person against the applicable indemnifying party(ies) in a formal action, suit or proceeding before a Governmental Authority (whether directly, by counterclaim, defense to a declaratory action or otherwise) within twelve (12) months of the notification of Seller of such Losses pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (or, in the case of a notification in respect of a Third Party Claim not by or before a Governmental Authority, eighteen (18) months); provided, that this Section 8.02(h) shall not apply to any Third Party Claim by or before any Governmental Authority or any Tax Claim.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, none of the Purchaser or the other Purchaser Parties shall have any right to indemnification under this Agreement from and against any Losses of any Person with respect to the matters identified in Section 2.02(d)(ix) (Specified Proceeding Liabilities) of the Asset Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not limit the indemnification obligations hereunder in respect of Specified Matters.

8.03 Indemnification by the Purchaser for the Benefit of the Seller. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of this Article VIII), the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller and its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, a “Seller Indemnified Person”) and hold them harmless against any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller

 

41


Indemnified Persons to the extent arising from: (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Purchaser under this Agreement and (b) any nonfulfillment or breach of any covenant or agreement by the Purchaser in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of claims arising from a breach of a representation or warranty, no such claims by the Seller shall be so asserted unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be payable hereunder exceeds on a cumulative basis an amount equal to the Deductible, and then only to the extent such Losses exceed the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the aggregate maximum liability for indemnification under this Section 8.03 shall not exceed the Final Cash Consideration.

8.04 Procedures for Claims.

(a) Third Party Claims. Any Person making a claim for indemnification under Section 8.02 or 8.03 is referred to herein as an “Indemnitee” and any indemnifying Person under Section 8.02 or 8.03 is referred to herein as an “Indemnitor” (it being understood that Seller shall be deemed to be the Indemnitor in respect of indemnification for purposes of this Section 8.04 even if a counterparty to an Assumption Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 6.08(b) may have an indemnification obligation in respect of the applicable claim). The Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing promptly after receiving written notice of any action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim against it by a third party (each, a “Third Party Claim”) in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 8.02 or 8.03, describing, to the extent practicable, the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof. The failure by an Indemnitee to promptly deliver such written notice to the Indemnitor shall not affect the Indemnitee’s right to receive indemnification hereunder with respect to such Third Party Claim, except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure. Any Indemnitor shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, lawsuit, proceeding, investigation or other claim giving rise to an Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification at such Indemnitor’s expense, and such Indemnitor, at its option, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof; provided that (i) any Indemnitor shall continue to be entitled to assert any limitation on any claims contained herein and (ii) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate (but not control or make decisions related thereto) in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose at the Indemnitee’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (A) the Indemnitor shall elect not to undertake such defense, (B) after the date that is thirty (30) days following the provision of a claim notice in accordance with this Section 8.04(a), the Indemnitor shall have failed to notify the Indemnitee that it has elected to undertake the defense of such Third Party Claim, (C) after undertaking such defense, the Indemnitor fails to defend diligently such Third Party Claim within ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of such failure from the Indemnitee or (D) other than with respect to any Specified Matter, the Third Party Claim (1) seeks non-monetary relief (except where non-monetary relief is merely incidental to a primary claim or claims for monetary damages), (2) involves criminal allegations, (3) is one in which the Indemnitor has conflicting or adverse interests or is also a party and joint representation would, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnitee, be inappropriate, or (4) except with respect to Specified Matters, is one which the Indemnitee reasonably believes that it will, after giving effect to the indemnification limitations set forth in this Article VIII, bear in excess of 50% of the Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim, the Indemnitee (upon written notice to the Indemnitor) shall have the right to undertake, assume and direct the defense of such Third Party Claim, using counsel of its own choosing reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitor, and the

 

42


Indemnitor shall be responsible for the fees and disbursements of one counsel in any jurisdiction with respect to such Third Party Claim and any other Third Party Claims related thereto. If the Indemnitor shall control the defense of any such claim then the Indemnitor shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of such claim and the defense thereof and the Indemnitor shall be entitled to settle such claim; provided, that, the Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which consent, except with respect to Specified Matters, shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement or compromise of a claim, consenting to any judgment with respect to or ceasing to defend such claim if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, judgment or cessation, (A) injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, including obligations (other than payment of settlement amounts and civil penalties) imposed pursuant to any settlement agreement or CIA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement), (B) any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates shall be required to admit wrongdoing, enter into any criminal plea, incur any criminal liability or enter into a deferred prosecution agreement or non-prosecution agreement, (C) Indemnitor does not pay all amounts to be paid in connection therewith, (D) such settlement or consent to judgment does not expressly and unconditionally release the Indemnified Persons and their Affiliates from any liability or obligation with respect to such claim or (E) any Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates (or the treatments performed using their products) are excluded from reimbursement from the Medicare program in accordance with 42 USC § 1320a-7. Regardless of which party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the parties shall cooperate with one another in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and without limiting any rights of Purchaser Indemnified Persons hereunder, the Purchaser Indemnified Persons and their Representatives shall have the right to (v) participate in all substantive communications between Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Representatives and any Governmental Entity regarding any Specified Matter, including telephone calls, meetings, presentations, notices, demands and other written communications (and, to the extent Purchaser does not participate in such communications, Seller shall inform Purchaser in a timely manner of the contents of such communications and provide copies of any written communications), (w) consult with Seller and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives before any of them initiates any substantive communication with any Governmental Entity regarding any Specified Matter or makes any material decision regarding the defense thereof, (x) access to all documents and information material to the defense of any Specified Matter, including all documents produced to a Governmental Entity, (y) participate in all interviews or similar communications with fact witnesses regarding any Specified Matter or, to the extent Purchaser elects not participate, access to written summaries thereof and (z) participate in the negotiation of the terms and conditions of any CIA (as defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement) entered into in connection with a settlement of, or Judgment arising from, any Specified Matter.

(b) Other Claims. The Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor in writing promptly upon becoming aware of the event or circumstance that forms the basis of any claim (other than a Third Party Claim) (each, an “Other Claim”) in respect of which indemnification may be sought under Section 8.02 or 8.03, describing, to the extent practicable, the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis thereof. The failure by an Indemnitee to promptly deliver such written notice to the Indemnitor shall not affect the Indemnitee’s right to receive indemnification hereunder with respect to such Other Claim, except to the extent the Indemnitor is prejudiced by such failure.

 

43


8.05 Determination of Loss Amount. The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification under Section 8.02 or 8.03 shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds or any indemnity, contribution or other similar payment recovered by the Indemnitee from any third party with respect thereto (less any costs incurred in connection with enforcing the right to or obtaining such proceeds or similar payment). The Indemnitee shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Loss to the same extent as it would if such Loss were not subject to indemnification hereunder. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnitee with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the lesser of (x) any indemnification payment that has been made in respect of such Loss hereunder and (y) the aggregate amount of the recovery (net in each case of any costs incurred in connection with enforcing the right to or obtaining such recovery) shall be made promptly to the Indemnitor. Purchaser shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.02 for the amount of any Loss (i) to the extent of any provision or reserve established in respect of the specific matters giving rise to such Loss that has been made in the Financial Statements or (ii) to the extent the matter giving rise to such indemnification claim was disputed and resolved and such amount of such Loss was used in the calculation of the Final Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 1.04.

8.06 Acknowledgment of the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges that it has conducted to its satisfaction an independent investigation and verification of the financial condition, results of operations, assets, liabilities, properties and projected operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and, in making its determination to proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Purchaser has relied solely on the representations and warranties of the Company and the Seller expressly and specifically set forth in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Exhibits, Schedules, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto. Such representations and warranties by the Company or the Seller, as applicable, along with such representations and warranties as are contained in the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 3.01(h), constitute the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of the Company or the Seller, as applicable, to the Purchaser in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Purchaser understands, acknowledges and agrees that all other representations and warranties of any kind or nature expressed or implied (including any relating to the future or historical financial condition, results of operations, assets or liabilities of the Company or its Subsidiaries, or the quality, quantity or condition of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets) are specifically disclaimed by the Company and the Seller. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Exhibits, Schedules, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto, none of the Seller nor the Company makes or provides, and the Purchaser hereby waives, any warranty or representation, express or implied, as to the quality, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, conformity to samples, or condition of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ assets or any part thereof. In connection with the Purchaser’s investigation of the Company and its Subsidiaries the Purchaser has received certain projections, including projected statements of operating revenues and income from operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries and certain business plan information. The Purchaser acknowledges that there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections and other forecasts and plans, that the Purchaser is familiar with such uncertainties and that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Exhibits, Schedules, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto, the Purchaser is taking full responsibility for making its own evaluation of the adequacy and accuracy of all projections and other forecasts and plans so furnished to it, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections and forecasts. Accordingly, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants and agrees that, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Exhibits, Schedules, certificates or other

 

44


instruments delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto, it has not relied upon, and that none of the Seller Parties is making any representation or warranty with respect to, such projections and other forecasts and plans, including the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying such projections and forecasts. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and any Exhibits, Schedules, certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules attached hereto, the Purchaser further (i) agrees, acknowledges, represents and warrants for itself and the other Purchaser Parties, that it has not relied upon the accuracy or completeness of any express or implied representation, warranty, statement or information of any nature made or provided by or on behalf of the Seller or the Seller Parties, and (except in the event of fraud) none of the Seller Parties or any other Person will have or be subject to any liability to any Purchaser Party or any other Person resulting from the distribution to the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party, or the Purchaser’s or such other Person’s use of, any such information, including any information, document or material made available to the Purchaser or any other Purchaser Party in certain “data rooms,” management presentations or any other form in expectation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (ii) waives any right Purchaser Parties may have against the Company or the Seller with respect to any inaccuracy in any such representation, warranty, statement or information. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement (including in Article VIII), nothing herein shall limit in any way claims or remedies for fraud.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION

9.01 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a) by the mutual written consent of the Purchaser and the Seller;

(b) by the Purchaser, if there has been a violation or breach by the Company or the Seller of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that has prevented the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Purchaser at the Closing and such violation or breach cannot be cured by the Company or Seller by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by the Company or the Seller within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Company of written notice thereof from the Purchaser; provided, however, that the Purchaser is not then in material breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.02 not to be satisfied;

(c) by the Seller, if there has been a violation or breach by the Purchaser of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement that has prevented

 

45


the satisfaction of any condition to the obligations of the Seller at the Closing and such violation or breach cannot be cured by the Purchaser by the Outside Date or, if capable of being cured, is not cured by the Purchaser within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt by the Purchaser of written notice thereof by the Seller; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Seller are then in material breach of this Agreement so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 not to be satisfied; or

(d) by the Purchaser or the Seller, if the transactions contemplated hereby have not been consummated on or before February 9, 2016 (such date, the “Outside Date”); provided that, in each case, the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.01(d) shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing of the transactions contemplated hereby to occur on or prior to such date.

9.02 Effect of Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated by either the Purchaser or the Seller as provided in Section 9.01, the provisions of this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force and effect (other than this Section 9.02 and the second and third sentences of Section 12.11 (Third Party Beneficiaries), Section 12.12 (Waiver of Trial by Jury), 12.15 (Governing Law), 12.16 (Jurisdiction) and 12.18 (Liability of Financing Sources), which shall survive the termination of this Agreement), and there shall be no liability on the part of the Purchaser, the Company or the Seller to one another, except for fraud or Willful Breaches of this Agreement prior to the time of such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “Willful Breach” means an intentional and willful material breach, or an intentional and willful material failure to perform, in each case that is the consequence of an act or omission by a party with the actual knowledge that the taking of such act or failure to take such act would cause a breach of this Agreement.

ARTICLE X

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS

10.01 Provision Respecting Legal Representation. It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that each of the Company and the Seller have retained K&E to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that K&E has not acted as counsel for any other party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that none of the other parties hereto has the status of a client of K&E for conflict of interest purposes as a result thereof, and that the fact that K&E has acted as counsel for the Company shall not restrict K&E from acting as counsel for the Seller in any dispute after the Closing with Purchaser or the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and K&E may represent the Seller, The Gores Group, LLC and/or such Affiliates in such dispute even though the interests of the Seller, The Gores Group, LLC and/or such Affiliates may be directly adverse to the Purchaser, the Company or its Subsidiaries, and even though K&E may have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute. The parties further agree that the attorney–client privilege of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall continue to belong to them following the Closing and shall not pass to or be claimed by Seller (and any attorney-client privilege of Seller shall continue to belong to Seller following the Closing and shall not pass to or be claimed by the Company or its Subsidiaries), provided that, as to all communications

 

46


prior to the Closing among K&E, on the one hand, and Seller, the Company and/or its Subsidiaries and/or their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, that relate in any way to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are subject to the attorney–client privilege, none of Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates shall disclose (nor shall Seller or any of its Affiliates be required to disclose) any such communications in any Litigation in support of a claim by any of them against Seller or any of its Affiliates (unless such communication is no longer subject to attorney-client privilege for reasons other than the actions of Purchaser, the Company or any of their Affiliates).

10.02 Tax Matters.

(a) Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall have the right to make any election under Section 338 of the Code (or any similar provision under state, local or foreign law) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, provided that none of the Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates shall make any such election to the extent such election would decrease the Final Cash Consideration, give rise to Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Seller is required to make an indemnification payment hereunder, or otherwise increase the Tax liability of Seller or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective direct or indirect equity owners.

(b) The Purchaser shall not take any action with respect to the Company that would cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to constitute part of a transaction that is the same as, or substantially similar to, the “Intermediary Transaction Tax Shelter” described in Internal Revenue Service Notices 2001-16 and 2008-111.

(c) The Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be filed all Tax Returns for each of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all periods ending prior to or including the Closing Date the due date of which (including extensions) is after the Closing Date. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared and timely filed (taking into account extensions) in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Law or as would not give rise to incremental Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Seller is required to make an indemnification payment hereunder. At least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the date on which each such Tax Return is required to be filed, the Purchaser shall submit such Tax Return to the Seller for the Seller’s review and comment, and, provided that the Seller provides comments to the Purchaser within fifteen (15) Business Days following receipt of such Tax Return by the Seller, the Purchaser shall reflect such comments from the Seller on such Tax Returns to the extent such comments are reasonable and not inconsistent with past practice and applicable Law; provided, that Purchaser shall not be required to reflect any such comments from the Seller if doing so would give rise to Taxes for any taxable period for which Seller is not required to make an indemnification payment hereunder. The Purchaser shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to timely file (taking into account extensions) all such Tax Returns prepared pursuant to this Section 10.02(c).

(d) Without the prior written consent of the Seller, the Purchaser will not (i) amend or permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to amend any Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) make or change any Tax election or accounting method or practice that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), to the extent such action would give rise to Taxes for the Pre-Closing Tax Period for which Seller is required to make an indemnification payment hereunder.

 

47


(e) Each of the Seller and the Purchaser will pay and be responsible for, and will indemnify and hold the other party harmless against, fifty percent (50%) of any transfer, documentary, sales, use, registration and real property transfer or gains tax, stamp tax, excise tax, stock transfer tax, or other similar Tax imposed on the Company or the Seller as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, “Transfer Taxes”), and any penalties or interest with respect to the Transfer Taxes. The Seller agrees to cooperate with the Purchaser in the filing of any returns with respect to the Transfer Taxes, including by supplying any information in its possession that is reasonably necessary to complete such returns.

(f) The Purchaser and the Seller shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Tax Return and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes, and the computation and verification of any amounts paid or payable under this Agreement with respect to Taxes (including any supporting workpapers, schedules and documents). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return, audit, litigation or other proceeding or any tax planning, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any materials provided hereunder.

(g) If a notice of deficiency, proposed adjustment, assessment, audit, examination or other administrative or court proceeding, suit, dispute or other claim shall be delivered, sent, commenced, or initiated to or against Purchaser or any of the Company or its Subsidiaries by any Taxing authority with respect to Taxes that results in or may result in a loss for which indemnification may be claimed under this Agreement (a “Tax Claim”), the party first receiving such notice shall promptly notify the other party in writing of such Tax Claim. The failure by the party receiving such notice to promptly notify the other party shall not affect the receiving party’s right to receive indemnification hereunder with respect to such Tax Claim, except to the extent the other party is prejudiced by such failure. The Purchaser will have the right to control any Tax Claim and any other Tax proceeding with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; provided, that with respect to any Tax Claim that would reasonably be expected to result in a loss in respect of which Seller would be required to make an indemnification payment hereunder, (x) the Seller will have the right, directly or through its designated representatives, to review in advance and comment upon all submissions made in the course of any such Tax Claim and (y) Purchaser shall not settle or otherwise dispose of any such Tax Claim without the prior consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(h) Any and all existing Tax sharing or similar agreements between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any Affiliate of the Company other than one of its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, shall be terminated and all payables and receivables arising thereunder shall be settled, in each case prior to the Closing Date. After the Closing Date, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall have any further rights, obligations or liability thereunder or under any payables or receivables arising thereunder.

 

48


(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the procedures with respect to any proceedings in respect of Taxes shall be governed by this Section 10.02 and not by Section 8.04.

(j) Any payment made pursuant to Section 1.05 or Article VIII shall be treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for all Tax purposes except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar provision of state, local or non-U.S. Tax Law).

10.03 Financing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Purchaser will and will cause MIFSA to use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Debt Fee Letter (including any “flex” provisions related thereto) on or prior to the Closing Date, and will cause MIFSA not to, without the Company’s prior written consent, agree to any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision or remedy under, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Fee Letter if such amendment, modification or waiver (i) reduces the aggregate amount of the Bridge Financing to an amount that, together with the Purchaser’s and its Affiliates’ cash on hand or available committed credit facilities, would be less than an amount that would be required to fund the cash payments required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) changes the conditions to obtaining the Bridge Financing or adds new or additional conditions precedent to obtaining the Bridge Financing, unless such amendment, modification or waiver results in conditions that are in the aggregate substantially equivalent to the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Debt Fee Letter immediately prior to such amendment, modification or waiver (or that are more favorable to the Purchaser and its Affiliates) or (iii) would reasonably be expected to (A) delay or prevent the Closing, (B) make the funding of the Bridge Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Bridge Financing) less likely to occur or (C) adversely impact the ability of MIFSA or its Affiliates to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter or the definitive agreements with respect thereto; provided, however, that Purchaser may cause MIFSA to amend or replace the Debt Commitment Letter or the Debt Fee Letter to (i) add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents, managers or similar entities who had not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement or (ii) implement or exercise any “flex” provisions provided in the Debt Fee Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement. Purchaser will cause MIFSA to use its reasonable best efforts to (I) maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter, (II) satisfy (or, if deemed advisable by MIFSA, obtain the waiver of, and cause each of its Affiliates to satisfy) on a timely basis all conditions to the Bridge Financing that are within Purchaser and its Affiliates’ control, (III) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Financing on the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or consistent in all material respects with the Debt Commitment Letter and the Debt Fee Letter (including any “flex” provisions contained therein) and (IV) draw a sufficient amount of the Financing to enable Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, in the event that the conditions set forth in Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 and the conditions to the availability of the Financing have been satisfied or, upon funding, would be satisfied or waived. Upon the request of the Company or Seller, Purchaser will keep Seller and the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current

 

49

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any failure to obtain any Financing nor any failure to fund any Financing relieve Purchaser of any obligation under or in respect of this Agreement, including the obligation to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required hereby, and neither the obtaining nor the availability or funding of any Financing shall constitute a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to timely consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as required hereby.

12.05 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by the Purchaser without the prior written consent of the Company and the Seller, or by the Company or the Seller without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, in each of the foregoing cases, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

 

64


12.06 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law so that the transactions contemplated hereby may be completed to the extent possible.

12.07 References. The table of contents and the section and other headings and subheadings contained in this Agreement and the Exhibits hereto are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto, and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any Exhibit hereto. All references to days or months shall be deemed references to calendar days or months. All references to “$” shall be deemed references to United States dollars. Unless the context otherwise requires, any reference to a “Section,” “Article,” “Exhibit,” “Disclosure Schedule” or “Schedule” shall be deemed to refer to a section or article of this Agreement, exhibit to this Agreement or a schedule to this Agreement, as applicable. Capitalized terms used in the Disclosure Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement.

12.08 Construction. The language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties hereto to express their mutual intent, and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against any Person. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement is not intended to imply that the amounts, or higher or lower amounts, are or are not material, and no party shall use the fact of the setting of the amounts in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in the Disclosure Schedules or any Exhibit is or is not material. The inclusion of any item in the Disclosure Schedules is not intended to imply that the items so included, or other items, are or are not required to be disclosed (including whether such items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or are within or outside of the ordinary course of business, and no party shall use the fact of the inclusion of any item the Disclosure Schedules in any dispute or controversy between the parties as to whether any obligation, item or matter not described or included in the Disclosure Schedules is or is not required to be disclosed (including whether the items are required to be disclosed as material or threatened) or is within or outside of the ordinary course of business. The information contained in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein shall be deemed to be an

 

65

12.09 Amendment and Waiver. Any provision of this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedules or Exhibits hereto may be amended or waived only in a writing signed by the Purchaser, the Company and the Seller.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Section 12.09, Section 12.11 (as it relates to third-party beneficiaries), Section 12.12 and Section 12.18 may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified, nor may this Agreement be otherwise modified in a manner that in substance constitutes such a modification, in each case in a manner adverse to the Financing Sources, without the prior written consent of the Financing Sources.

12.10 Complete Agreement. This Agreement and the documents referred to herein (including the Confidentiality Agreement) contain the complete agreement between the parties hereto and supersede any prior understandings, agreements or representations by or between the parties, written or oral, which may have related to the subject matter hereof in any way.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, nothing expressed or referred to in this Agreement will be construed to give any Person other than the parties to this Agreement any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under or with respect to this Agreement or any provision of this Agreement.

12.12 Waiver of Trial by Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION (A) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ESCROW AGREEMENT OR (B) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO (INCLUDING ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM AGAINST ANY FINANCING SOURCE), IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT THE

 

66


PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE FINANCING SOURCES MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

12.13 Delivery by Electronic Transmission. This Agreement and any signed agreement entered into in connection herewith or contemplated hereby, and any amendments hereto or thereto, to the extent signed and delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original contract and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effects as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. At the request of any party hereto or to any such contract, each other party hereto or thereto shall re–execute original forms thereof and deliver them to all other parties. No party hereto or to any such contract shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or contract was transmitted or communicated through the use of facsimile machine or by .pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail as a defense to the formation of a contract and each such party forever waives any such defense.

12.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

12.15 Governing Law. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

12.16 Jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 1.04, any suit, action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, solely if such court declines jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts therefrom) in any such suit, action or proceeding and irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court or that any such suit, action or proceeding which is brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such suit, action or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. Without limiting the foregoing, each party agrees that service of process on such party as provided in Section 12.04 shall be deemed effective service of process on such party.

12.17 Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the rights of each party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by any party, money

 

67


damages may be inadequate and the non-breaching party may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the parties agree that such non-breaching party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in their favor at law or in equity, to enforce their rights and the other party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief (without posting of bond or other security). Except as expressly set forth herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred on a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

12.18 Liability of Financing Sources.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Company (on behalf of itself and each Company Related Person) and each of the other parties hereto agrees that any claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) against a Financing Source that is in any way related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law); provided that (x) the interpretation of the definition of Material Adverse Effect and whether or not a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, (y) the determination of the accuracy of any Acquisition Agreement Target Representations (as defined in the Debt Commitment Letter) and whether as a result of any inaccuracy thereof Purchaser or its Affiliates have the right to terminate its obligations under this Agreement, or to decline to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (z) the determination of whether the transactions contemplated hereby have been consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, in each case, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted solely in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the Law of any other state and (ii) the Company (on behalf of itself and each Company Related Person) and each of the other parties hereto (A) agrees that it will not bring or support any action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Financing or the performance thereof or the transactions contemplated thereby, in any forum other than exclusively in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in the County of New York (and appellate courts thereof), (B) submits for itself and its property with respect to any such action to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, (C) agrees that service of process, summons, notice or document by registered mail addressed to it at its address provided in Section 12.04 shall be effective service of process against it for any such action brought in any such court, (D) waives and hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of, and the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of, any such action in any such court and (E) agrees that a final judgment in any such action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

 

68


(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company (on behalf of itself and each Company Related Person (other than Purchaser and MIFSA)) agrees that neither it nor any other Company Related Person (other than Purchaser and MIFSA) shall have any rights or claims against any Financing Source in connection with this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby; provided that, following the Closing, the foregoing will not limit the rights of the parties to the Financing under the Debt Financing Documents. In addition, in no event will any Financing Source be liable for consequential, special, exemplary, punitive or indirect damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) or damages of a tortious nature.

12.19 Prevailing Party. In the event any suit, action or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) is commenced by any party (the “Claiming Party”) hereto to enforce its rights under this Agreement against any other party (the “Defending Party”), the non-prevailing party in such Proceeding shall reimburse all fees, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, incurred by the prevailing party in such Proceeding; provided, that if a party prevails in part, and loses in part, in such Proceeding, the court presiding over such Proceeding shall award a reimbursement of the fees, costs and expenses incurred by the parties on an equitable basis. For purposes hereof, and without limitation, the Defending Party shall be deemed to have prevailed in any Proceeding described in the immediately preceding sentence if the Claiming Party commences any such Proceeding and (i) the underlying claim(s) are subsequently dropped or voluntarily dismissed and/or (ii) the Defending Party defeats such claim(s).

12.20 Guarantee. Parent hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not as surety, the due and punctual payment and performance by the Purchaser of all of its obligations to the Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The foregoing sentence is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of the full and punctual discharge and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations. Should Purchaser default in the discharge or performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, the obligations of Parent hereunder shall become immediately due and payable to the Seller. Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Company that (i) it is a public limited company, validly existing under the laws of Ireland, and it has all power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Section 12.20; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by it has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary corporate action, and no other proceedings or actions on the part of it are necessary therefor; and (iii) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by it and, assuming that this Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy Laws, other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights and general principles of equity affecting the availability of specific performance and other equitable remedies. Until the Payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Parent waives (i) any of the following rights it may have against Purchaser: subrogation, set-off, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, and (ii) any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Seller against Purchaser, in the case whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law.
