THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of July 20, 2016, by and among Monotype Imaging Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), Project Wave Acquisition Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer (“Buyer Merger Sub”), Olapic, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Representative (the Stockholders Representative”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix I.

WHEREAS, the parties intend that Buyer Merger Sub be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Buyer pursuant to the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (“DGCL”) and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has (a) determined that the terms of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (b) approved and declared this Agreement advisable in accordance with the DGCL and (c) determined to recommend that the Company’s stockholders adopt this Agreement;

WHEREAS, as an inducement to the willingness of Buyer and Buyer Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement (but not pursuant to any prior agreement with Buyer), (i) holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Capital Stock voting together as a single class and on an as-converted basis, and (ii) each of the Major Investors (together, the “Requisite Stockholder Approval”), are expected to deliver, following the approval and adoption of this Agreement by the Company Board and immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (a) their irrevocable approval and adoption of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to a written consent of Stockholders in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Stockholder Consent”) and (b) specified undertakings, representations, warranties, releases and waivers, in each case pursuant to a written consent, joinder, release and waiver, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “General Release and Joinder Agreement”), each signed and dated as of the date hereof by such Stockholders, pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL and the Company’s Charter Documents;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of Buyer Merger Sub has approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Buyer Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Company Board, Buyer (on its own behalf and as sole stockholder of Buyer Merger Sub) and Buyer Merger Sub have each approved the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby;

WHEREAS, the Company will, immediately after the execution of this Agreement, submit this Agreement to its stockholders, with a recommendation by the Company Board that such stockholders approve of this Agreement and the Merger for the purpose of acting on this Agreement; and

 

1


WHEREAS, the Company, Buyer and Buyer Merger Sub desire to make certain representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements in connection with the Merger and also to prescribe various conditions to the Merger.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

  1. The Merger

1.1 Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, Buyer Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company at the Effective Time. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Buyer Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the surviving corporation of the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”), which shall continue to be governed by the DGCL. The separate corporate existence of the Company with all its rights, privileges, immunities, powers and franchises shall continue unaffected by the Merger.

1.2 Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, upon the Closing, the parties will cause a certificate of merger, in the form and substance of Exhibit C annexed hereto (the “Certificate of Merger”), to be filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger, accompanied by the payment of the filing fee (as provided in the DGCL), has been examined by, and received the endorsed approval of, the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later time as may be agreed by the Company and Buyer Merger Sub in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).

1.3 Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, and without any further action on the part of the Company, Buyer or Buyer Merger Sub, the effect of the Merger will be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all rights and property of the Company and Buyer Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts and liabilities of the Company and Buyer Merger Sub shall become debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) The certificate of incorporation of the Buyer Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth on Exhibit D hereto shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with Applicable Law and such certificate of incorporation.

 

2


(b) The bylaws of the Buyer Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time as set forth on
Exhibit E
hereto shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with Applicable Law and such bylaws.

1.5 Directors and Officers. Each of Buyer and Buyer Merger Sub will take all necessary action to cause (i) the directors of Buyer Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, and (ii) the officers of Buyer Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time to be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation from and after the Effective Time, in each case retaining their respective positions, and until the earlier of their death, resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.6 Closing. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall be held at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP, 620 8th Avenue, New York, New York 10118, or at such other place as the parties may mutually agree upon, on the date no later than the fourth (4th) Business Day following the satisfaction or due waiver of all of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3, or at such other time and date as Buyer and the Company may designate. The date on which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date”.

1.7 Conversion of Outstanding Capital Stock. At and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders:

(a) Each share of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as provided in Sections 1.7(c) or 1.7(d) below) shall be converted into the right to receive, payable to the holder thereof:

(i) the Per Share CSE Closing Merger Consideration less such share’s Pro Rata Share of each of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit and the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount, paid in the manner provided in Section 1.10(a); and

(ii) the per share amount (allocated on a Pro Rata Share basis) of: (a) any Post-Closing Adjustment Payments that become payable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16; (b) any portion of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16 and the Escrow Agreement, (c) any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 6.5 and the Escrow Agreement, and (d) any portion of the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount that becomes releasable in accordance with Section 1.19.

 

3


(b) Each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (except as provided in Sections 1.7(c) or 1.7(d) below) shall be converted into the right to receive, payable to the holder thereof:

(i) the Per Share CSE Closing Merger Consideration less such share’s Pro Rata Share of each of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit and the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount, paid in the manner provided in Section 1.10(a); and

(ii) the per share amount (allocated on a Pro Rata Share basis) of: (a) any Post-Closing Adjustment Payments that become payable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16; (b) any portion of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16 and the Escrow Agreement, (c) any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 6.5 and the Escrow Agreement, and (d) any portion of the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount that becomes releasable in accordance with Section 1.19.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.7(c), all shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall no longer be outstanding upon the Effective Time and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any shares of Capital Stock shall thereafter only represent the right to receive the consideration therefor set forth herein. The allocations among the Stockholders of the aggregate Closing Merger Consideration, the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit, the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount, and the Founders’ Holdback Amount are as set forth on Exhibit F (the “Allocation Schedule”). The Company will prepare and deliver to Buyer, no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, an update to the Allocation Schedule (the “Closing Allocation Schedule”) setting forth any changes in amounts or other inputs or calculations contemplated thereby. For clarity, neither the Company nor the Stockholders will be liable to Buyer or Buyer Merger Sub for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies in the Allocation Schedule that are corrected in the Closing Allocation Schedule or any update thereto that is corrected on a timely basis prior to Closing.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by any Person who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares of Capital Stock (“Appraisal Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”), shall not be converted into the right to receive the consideration as provided in Section 1.7(a) or 1.7(b), as applicable, but rather the holders of such Appraisal Shares shall be entitled to payment of the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262 (and at the Effective Time such Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and such holders shall cease to have any right with respect thereto, except the rights as may be granted to such holder or holders in Section 262); provided, however, that if any such holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw, or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then such holder’s Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, consideration as provided in Section 1.7(a) or 1.7(b), as applicable.

 

4


(d) Each share of Capital Stock or other equity security held in the treasury of or reserved for issuance by the Company or Buyer Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time will be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(e) Each share of Buyer Merger Sub’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share, issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time will be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of the Surviving Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

1.8 Treatment of Options and Company Stock Option Plans.

(a) At and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders:

(i) each Vested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not been exercised will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive per share of Common Stock subject to such Vested Option as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to any acceleration resulting from or in connection with the Merger) less all applicable withholding Taxes:

(I) the Per Share Option Closing Merger Consideration less such Vested Option’s Pro Rata Share of each of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit and the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount, paid in the manner provided in Section 1.10(a); and

(II) the per share amount (allocated on a Pro Rata Share basis) of: (a) any Post-Closing Adjustment Payments that become payable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16; (b) any portion of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16 and the Escrow Agreement, (c) any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 6.5 and the Escrow Agreement, and (d) any portion of the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount that becomes releasable in accordance with Section 1.19;

provided, that such Vested Options converted pursuant to this Section 1.8(a)(i) shall no longer represent the right to purchase Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person or the right to receive any other consideration other than as provided herein.

(ii) each Unvested Option outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to any acceleration resulting from or in connection with the Merger) will be cancelled and such Unvested Option shall no longer represent the right to purchase Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person or the right to receive any other consideration.

(b) The Company shall take all actions reasonably necessary in order to ensure that all options to purchase Capital Stock and all plans under which such options have

 

5


been granted are terminated as of the Effective Date (except to the extent necessary to give effect to the terms of this Section 1.8) including, without limitation, the execution of settlement and release agreements with employees of Olapic Argentina that are holders of Options in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G.

(c) Within a reasonable time before the Effective Time, the Company shall provide to each EMI Optionholder: (i) written notice, in such form as may be agreed between the Company and Buyer, that such holder’s Vested EMI Options are exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) a notice of exercise in respect of Vested EMI Options in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (the “EMI Exercise Notice”). Each EMI Optionholder who returns a duly completed EMI Exercise Notice to the Company by the day which is two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Time (or such other later time as the Company and Buyer may agree), shall be deemed to have paid (such payment being contingent on the Closing taking place) to the Company, at the Effective Time the exercise price of each Vested EMI Option that is exercised prior to or contingent upon the Closing multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock to be received by such holder as a result of the exercise of each such Vested EMI Option (the “EMI Exercise Price”). Consequently, the holder of each such EMI Option hereby acknowledges and accepts that the consideration to be paid to it in accordance with Section 1.7(b) in respect of each share of Common Stock received on exercise of such Vested EMI Options shall be reduced by the amount deemed to have been paid by the EMI Optionholder to the Company in accordance with the preceding sentence. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall issue all shares of Common Stock with respect to which each Vested EMI Option is due to be exercised pursuant to the EMI Exercise Notices prior to the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Vested EMI Options are not exercised, they will be treated as other Vested Options in accordance with Section 1.8(a).

1.9 Treatment of Warrants. At and as of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Buyer, Buyer Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders, each Warrant outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that has not been exercised will be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive per share of Common Stock subject to such Warrant as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to any acceleration resulting from or in connection with the Merger) less all applicable withholding Taxes:

(a) the Per Share Warrant Closing Merger Consideration less such warrant’s Pro Rata Share of each of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit and the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount, paid in the manner provided in Section 1.10(a); and

(b) the per share amount (allocated on a Pro Rata Share basis) of: (i) any Post-Closing Adjustment Payments that become payable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16; (ii) any portion of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 1.16 and the Escrow Agreement, (iii) any portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit that becomes releasable to the Stockholders in accordance with Section 6.5 and the Escrow Agreement, and (iv) any portion of the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount that becomes releasable in accordance with Section 1.19.

 

6


provided, that such Warrants converted pursuant to this Section 1.9 shall no longer represent the right to purchase Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company, Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any other Person or the right to receive any other consideration other than as provided herein.

1.10 Payment of Merger Consideration.

(a) Payments at the Closing.

(i) Prior to the Closing, the Company shall appoint Acquiom Clearinghouse LLC (the “Paying Agent”) as the paying agent. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deposit with the Paying Agent, for the benefit of the Stockholders, cash in the amount payable in respect of all Capital Stock, Vested Options and Warrants outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Sections 1.7(a)(i), 1.7(b)(i), 1.8(a)(i) and 1.9(a) less the Founders’ Holdback Amount (the “Payment Fund”). The Payment Fund shall not be used for any other purpose, except to make the payments required by Sections 1.7(a)(i), 1.7(b)(i), 1.8(a)(i) and 1.9(a) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses associated with the hiring and retention of the Paying Agent.

(ii) At Closing, Buyer shall (I) deposit the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, the Indemnification Escrow Deposit and the Founders’ Holdback Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, which amounts shall be held, administered and distributed by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (II) deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount.

(iii) At Closing, Buyer shall deposit with the Surviving Corporation the Total Bonus Consideration for payment to the Bonus Recipients. The Surviving Corporation shall pay to Bonus Recipients such Total Bonus Consideration in accordance with the allocations set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule upon the next regularly scheduled payroll of the Surviving Corporation (such amount to be delivered to each Bonus Recipient net of all applicable withholding Taxes).

(iv) At Closing, Buyer shall repay, or cause to be repaid, on behalf of the Company, the amounts necessary to satisfy all of the outstanding Indebtedness of the Company as of the Effective Time as evidenced by payoff letters in the form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds as directed by the holder of such Indebtedness.

(v) At Closing, Buyer shall pay, on behalf of the Company, the Transaction Expenses which have not been paid as of the Effective Time, as evidenced by invoices supporting such expenses in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, by wire transfer or other delivery of immediately available funds as directed by the parties to whom such Transaction Expenses are owed.

 

7


(b) Exchange Procedures.

(i) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Buyer shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each of the Stockholders a letter of transmittal in the applicable form attached hereto as Exhibit I-1 (the “Capital Stock Letter of Transmittal”), Exhibit I-2 (the “Optionholder Letter of Transmittal”) and Exhibit I-3 (the “Warrantholder Letter of Transmittal”).

(ii) The Capital Stock Letter of Transmittal shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to shares of Capital Stock shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates representing such shares of Capital Stock to Buyer and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of a Certificate in exchange for the Closing Merger Consideration attributable to each share formerly represented by such Certificate. Upon surrender of a Certificate to Buyer and immediately after the Effective Time, together with a Capital Stock Letter of Transmittal (or affidavit of loss in accordance with Section 1.12), duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to promptly receive (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after delivery of the Certificate(s) and completed Capital Stock Letter of Transmittal (or affidavit of loss in accordance with Section 1.12)) in exchange therefor such Stockholder’s portion of the consideration that such holder has the right to receive as provided in Sections 1.7(a) and 1.7(b)(i) and the allocations set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule, in respect of the shares of Capital Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate so surrendered will forthwith be cancelled.

(iii) If payment is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate surrendered is registered, it shall be a condition of payment that the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise in proper form for transfer and delivered to the Paying Agent with all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer, and that the Person requesting such payment pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or establish to the satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.10(b)(iii), each Certificate (other than Certificates representing Appraisal Shares) shall at any time after the Effective Time represent solely the right to receive, upon such surrender the amounts contemplated by Sections 1.7(a) and 1.7(b).

(iv) From and after the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and no transfer of Capital Stock shall thereafter be made. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates representing ownership of outstanding Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights with respect to such outstanding Capital Stock, except as provided for in this Agreement, including the right to receive the consideration as contemplated by Sections 1.7(a), 1.7(b) and this Section 1.10, upon the surrender of such Certificates, or by Applicable Law.

(v) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of an Optionholder Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, (I), with respect to Optionholders who are not subject to any withholding Taxes as set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule, such Optionholder shall be entitled to promptly receive (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after delivery of the completed Optionholder Letter of Transmittal) from the Paying Agent such Optionholder’s portion of the consideration that such holder has the right to receive as provided in Section 1.8(a) in respect of the Vested Options and the allocations set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule; and (II) with respect to Optionholders who are subject to withholding Taxes as set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule, the Paying Agent shall promptly deposit (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after delivery of the completed Optionholder Letter of Transmittal) with the Surviving Corporation the amount that equals such Optionholder’s portion of the consideration that such holder has the right to receive as provided in Section 1.8(a) in respect of the Vested Options and the allocations set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule and such Optionholder shall receive such amount upon the next regularly scheduled payroll of the Surviving Corporation (such amount to be delivered to such Optionholder in accordance with Section 1.8(a)(i) net of all applicable withholding Taxes, which the amounts and jurisdictions of such withholding Tax shall be specified in reasonable detail on the Closing Allocation Schedule).

(vi) Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Warrantholder Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be required pursuant to such instructions, such Warrantholder shall be entitled to promptly receive (and in any event within two (2) Business Days after delivery of the completed Warrantholder Letter of Transmittal) from the Paying Agent such Warrantholder’s portion of the consideration that such holder has the right to receive as provided in Section 1.9(a) in respect of the Warrants and the allocations set forth on the Closing Allocation Schedule.

(vii) To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, none of Buyer, Buyer Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any payments made from the Payment Fund and payable pursuant to Sections 1.7(a), 1.7(b), 1.8(a) and 1.9 properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificates shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to the date that such unclaimed funds would otherwise become subject to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law unclaimed funds payable with respect to such Certificates shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, become the property of Surviving Corporation, but thereafter remaining subject to any and all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

1.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Capital Stock. All amounts paid upon the surrender or exchange of shares of Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.12 Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen, or destroyed, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid in exchange for such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, such amounts as may be required pursuant to Sections 1.7(a) and 1.7(b) with respect to the number of shares of Preferred Stock or Common Stock represented by such Certificate, as applicable; provided, however, that Buyer may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen, or destroyed Certificate to provide reasonable and customary indemnification to Buyer and the Surviving Corporation in connection with any claims arising from the loss or contested ownership of such Certificate.

1.13 [Reserved].

1.14 Estimated Closing Balance Sheet. The Company has delivered to Buyer an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing (but without giving effect to the Transaction), a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule 1.14 (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet”). The parties hereto have worked in good faith to make any necessary adjustments to such balance sheet such that it includes estimates that are reasonably acceptable to the parties as of the Closing.

1.15 Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto from time to time after the Closing at the request of any other party hereto and without further consideration shall execute and deliver further instruments of transfer and assignment and take such other action as a party may reasonably require to more effectively transfer and assign to, and vest in, Buyer the Shares and all rights thereto.

1.16 Post-Closing Adjustment.

(a) Post-Closing Calculation of Closing Adjustment.

(i) Following the Closing, Buyer shall in good faith prepare or cause to be prepared an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing (without giving effect to the Transaction) determined in accordance with GAAP and consistent with past practices of the Company (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a statement of the Net Assets (the “Closing Net Asset Statement” and together with the Closing Balance Sheet, the “Closing Statements”). Buyer shall cause the Closing Statements to be delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative as soon as practicable following the Closing, but not later than forty five (45) days thereafter. The Stockholders’ Representative shall cooperate with and reasonably assist Buyer, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Buyer any books, records or properties in its possession that Buyer reasonably requires in order to prepare and deliver the Closing Statements.

(ii) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have thirty (30) days following delivery of the Closing Statements (the “Objection Period”) to provide written

 

10


notice to Buyer of any good faith objection to any portion of such Closing Statements (the “Objection Notice”), which Objection Notice shall set forth the basis of the objection with reasonable detail. During the Objection Period, the Stockholders’ Representative and its accountant will be permitted to examine the work papers and all other materials used or generated in connection with the preparation of such Closing Statements and such other documents as the Stockholders’ Representative may reasonably request in connection with the review of such Closing Statements.

(iii) Unless the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice before the expiration of the Objection Period, the Closing Statements shall be deemed to have been accepted and approved by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of all Stockholders and shall thereafter be final and binding upon the Stockholders and Buyer for purposes of any post-Closing adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.16. In addition, to the extent any portion of any of the Closing Statements shall not be expressly objected to in the Objection Notice, such matters shall be deemed to have been accepted and approved by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of all Stockholders and shall be final and binding upon the Stockholders and Buyer for purposes of any post-Closing adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.16 (except to the extent that an objection to a particular line item would result in changes to other line items). If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Objection Notice before the expiration of the Objection Period, then those aspects of the Closing Statements objected to in the Objection Notice shall not thereafter be final and binding until resolved in accordance with Section 1.16(b).

(iv) Subject to the provisions of Section 1.16(b)(ii), each party shall bear its own costs in relation to the preparation and review of the Closing Statements and no such costs shall be included in the calculation of the Closing Statements.

(b) Resolution of Objections.

(i) Following receipt of an Objection Notice, the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall discuss in good faith the applicable objections set forth therein for a period of fifteen (15) days from such receipt and shall, during such period, attempt to resolve the matter or matters in dispute by mutual written agreement. If the parties reach such an agreement, such agreement shall be confirmed in writing and shall revise the applicable Closing Statements to reflect such agreement, which agreement shall thereafter be final and binding upon the Stockholders and Buyer for purposes of any post-closing adjustment pursuant to this Section 1.16.

(ii) If Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to reach a mutual agreement in whole or in part in accordance with Section 1.16(b)(i) during the fifteen (15) day period referred to therein, then a mutually acceptable “Big Four” national accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”) shall resolve those matters still in dispute with respect to the applicable Closing Statements. If Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable Accounting Firm within ten (10) days following the expiration of the fifteen (15) day period referred to in Section 1.16(b)(i), the Accounting Firm shall immediately be chosen by lot from among the “Big Four” national accounting firms, excluding any such firms that then provide or

 

11


within the previous 12 months have provided any services to Buyer or the Stockholders’ Representative. In connection with engaging the Accounting Firm, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative agree, if requested by the Accounting Firm, to execute an engagement letter on terms reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative. The Accounting Firm shall make a final and binding resolution of the disputes or disagreements between Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative. The Accounting Firm shall be instructed that, in making its final and binding resolution, it must select a position with respect to the applicable Closing Statements that is either exactly the final position of Buyer (as set forth in the applicable Closing Statement) or the Stockholders’ Representative (as set forth in the Objection Notice) or between the final position of Buyer and the final position of the Stockholders’ Representative and that it must make its final and binding resolution within thirty (30) days of its selection. In any event, the Accounting Firm shall select such a position by applying the principles and methods set forth in this Agreement. No appeal from such determination shall be permitted. The costs and expenses for the services of the Accounting Firm (the “Accounting Firm Expenses”) shall be allocated between Buyer, on the one hand, and the Stockholders’ Representative, on the other hand, based upon the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to each party bears to the amount actually contested by such party. Subject to the foregoing sentences regarding the allocation of the Accounting Firm Expenses, all other fees and expenses of the Stockholders’ Representative relating exclusively to matters described in this Section 1.16 shall be borne by the Stockholders, and all other fees and expenses of Buyer relating exclusively to matters described in this Section 1.16 shall be borne by Buyer. The Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall fully cooperate with each other and with the Accounting Firm to resolve any dispute.

(c) Net Asset Adjustment Amount.

(i) The Net Asset Adjustment Amount shall be calculated based upon the final calculation of the Net Assets as determined in Sections 1.16(a) and (b) and shall be calculated at the time the Closing Net Asset Statement becomes final and binding on the parties pursuant to Sections 1.16(a) and (b).

(ii) If the sum of the Net Asset Adjustment Amount as so calculated plus the Net Asset Escrow Deposit is a negative amount (the “Negative Difference”), then (A) the Stockholders’ Representative and Buyer shall deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the Net Asset Escrow Deposit to Buyer and (B) the Stockholders, severally and not jointly, and solely based on each Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share, shall pay to Buyer the absolute value of the Negative Difference.

(iii) If the sum of the Net Asset Adjustment Amount as so calculated plus the Net Asset Escrow Deposit is a positive amount (the “Positive Difference”), then (A) in the event the Positive Difference exceeds the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, (1) Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the Net Asset Escrow Deposit to the Stockholders based on their Pro Rata Share and (2) Buyer shall pay to the Stockholders, based on their respective Pro Rata Share, the amount by which the Positive Difference exceeds the Net Asset Escrow

 

12


Deposit or (B) in the event the Positive Difference is less than the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent (1) to release a portion of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit equal to the amount by which the Positive Difference is less than the Net Asset Escrow Deposit to Buyer and (2) to release the remainder of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit to the Stockholders, based on their respective Pro Rata Share (the amount of any such payment described in Sections 1.16(c)(ii) or (iii), the “Post-Closing Adjustment Payment”).

(iv) If the sum of the Net Asset Adjustment Amount as so calculated plus the Net Asset Escrow Deposit is zero, then the Post-Closing Adjustment Payment shall be zero and Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent to release the Net Asset Escrow Deposit to Buyer.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event all or a portion of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit is to be released to the Stockholders pursuant to this Section 1.16(c), the Stockholders’ Representative may deliver an instruction to Buyer and the Escrow Agent that all or any portion of such amount be delivered directly to the Stockholders’ Representative for purposes of satisfying indemnification obligations of the Stockholders as specified in Section 1.19 hereof.

(d) Payment. Any Post-Closing Adjustment Payment shall be paid promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) days following the determination of the amount of such Post-Closing Adjustment Payment, which payment shall be made in immediately available funds via wire transfer to an account designated in writing by the party entitled to receive such payment. Any payment due to the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.16(c) shall be paid by Buyer to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the Stockholders, and the Paying Agent shall pay such amounts to the Stockholders in accordance with this Agreement. Any payment due from the Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.16(c)(ii)(B) shall first be satisfied from the Indemnification Escrow Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof and the Escrow Agreement.

1.17 Founder Holdback.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 1.7(b)(i), Buyer shall deposit the Founders’ Holdback Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.10(a)(ii), which amount shall reduce each Founder’s receipt of Per Share CSE Closing Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.7(b)(i) by the amount indicated next to such Founder’s name on the Closing Allocation Schedule. Such amounts shall become due and payable to each Founder as follows: (I) one million dollars ($1,000,000) on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date provided the Founder is employed on such date by the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or a successor entity or Affiliate thereof and (II) two million dollars ($2,000,000) on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date provided the Founder is employed on such date by the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or a successor entity or Affiliate thereof; provided, however, that if (x) such Founder’s employment with the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or successor entity is terminated without “Cause”; (y) such Founder resigns from employment with the Surviving Corporation, Buyer or successor entity for “Good Reason”; or (z) Surviving Corporation, Buyer or a successor entity consummates a “Sale Event” transaction prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date and the Founder is employed on the date of such Sale Event, then all of the

 

13


remaining unpaid portion of such Founder’s Holdback Amount shall be immediately due and payable to such Founder as of the date of such termination or transaction. For purposes of this Section 1.17, the terms “Cause”, “Good Reason” and “Sale Event” shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Monotype Imaging Holdings Inc. 2010 Inducement Stock Plan, as amended and in effect on the date hereof, a copy of which has been provided to each Founder.

(b) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the payment of any portion of the Founders’ Holdback Amount to the Founders is intended to be consideration for such Founder’s Capital Stock and not as compensation for services (or subject to withholding as such), and that as consideration, is intended to be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of foreign, state or local law, as appropriate. No party shall take any Tax Return position inconsistent with such characterization, except to the extent required pursuant to a “determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code or any other similar settlement.

1.18 Withholding and Tax Consequences. Buyer, Buyer Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as are required to be withheld pursuant to Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that any such amounts are so deducted or withheld and remitted to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. Buyer and its Affiliates make no representations or warranties to the Company or to any of the Stockholders, Optionholders or Warrantholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Transaction, or any of the Tax consequences to the Company or to any of the Stockholders, Optionholders or Warrantholder of this Agreement or the Transaction. The Company acknowledges that the Company, the Stockholders, Optionholders and Warrantholder are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement and the Transaction.

1.19 Stockholders Representative.

(a) In order to efficiently administer certain matters contemplated hereby following the Closing, including any actions that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with the matters set forth in this Agreement, the Stockholders hereby designate Shareholder Representative Services LLC as the representative of the Stockholders. By voting in favor of the adoption of this Agreement, the approval of the principal terms of the Merger, and the consummation of the Merger or participating in the Merger and receiving the benefits thereof, including the right to receive the Closing Merger Consideration, the Stockholders hereby agree that the Stockholders’ Representative is hereby appointed and constituted the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of each Stockholder, with full power in the name of such Stockholder to act according to the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement and in general to do all things and to perform all acts including, without limitation, executing and delivering any agreements, amendments or instruments contemplated by or deemed advisable in connection with this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement, except with respect to rights specifically held by the Founders under the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the

 

14


foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative shall have full authority to (i) execute, deliver, acknowledge and amend on behalf of the Stockholders any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Representative may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, (ii) take or refrain from taking any actions to resolve or settle all matters and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and (iii) engage attorneys, accountants and other advisors necessary or appropriate in the sole judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative (and at the expense of the Stockholders) for the accomplishment of the foregoing. Buyer shall be entitled to rely conclusively, and shall be protected in acting, or refraining from acting, upon any written notice, instruction, request or decision given or made by the Stockholders’ Representative as if such notice, instruction, request or decision had been given or made by all Stockholders, and no party shall have any cause of action against Buyer for any action or inaction in reliance upon any such notice, instruction, request or decision. All actions, decisions and instructions of the Stockholders’ Representative shall be conclusive and binding upon each of the Stockholders. No Stockholder shall have any cause of action against the Stockholders’ Representative for any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Stockholders’ Representative under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Stockholder. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to any Stockholder for any action taken or omitted by it or any agent employed by it hereunder or under any other document entered into in connection herewith, except for actions constituting fraud or bad faith. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable to the Stockholders for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by the Stockholders’ Representative in good faith, and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Stockholder to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from other Stockholders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement. Neither the Stockholders’ Representative nor any agent or advisor employed by it shall incur any liability to any Stockholder relating to the performance of its duties hereunder, except for actions or omissions constituting fraud or bad faith. The Stockholders do hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Stockholders’ Representative harmless from and against, and to reimburse the Stockholders’ Representative for, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims, penalties, fines, forfeitures, actions, fees, costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel and experts and their staffs and all expense of document location, duplication and shipment) (collectively, “Representative Losses”) arising out of or in connection with the Stockholders’ Representative’s execution and performance of this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, including any future actions taken hereunder or thereunder in discharging its duties, or otherwise suffered or incurred as a result of the performance of such Stockholders’ Representative’s duties under this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the other Transaction Documents in each case as such Representative Loss is suffered or incurred. If not paid directly to the Stockholders’ Representative by the Stockholders, any such Representative Losses may be recovered by the Stockholders’ Representative from (i) the funds in the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount, and (ii) the amounts in the Net Asset Escrow Deposit and the Indemnification Escrow Deposit at such time as remaining amounts would otherwise be distributable to the Stockholders; provided, that while this section allows the

 

15


Stockholders’ Representative to be paid from the aforementioned sources of funds, this does not relieve the Stockholders from their obligation to promptly pay such Representative Losses as they are suffered or incurred. In no event will the Stockholders’ Representative be required to advance its own funds on behalf of the Stockholders or otherwise. The Stockholders acknowledge and agree that the foregoing indemnities will survive the resignation or removal of the Stockholders’ Representative or the termination of this Agreement. The Stockholders will not receive any interest or earnings on the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount and irrevocably transfer and assign to the Stockholders’ Representative any ownership right that they may otherwise have had in any such interest or earnings. The Stockholders’ Representative will not be liable for any loss of principal of the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Stockholders’ Representative will hold these funds separate from its corporate funds, will not use these funds for its operating expenses or any other corporate purposes and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Stockholders’ Representative shall use the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount for purposes of paying or reimbursing its out-of-pocket costs and expenses in discharging its duties hereunder or otherwise administering interests or former interests of the Stockholders in this Agreement and the Transactions and the Company (including amounts to which the Stockholders’ Representative is entitled to indemnification hereunder). The Stockholders’ Representative may additionally obtain amounts to be used pursuant to the foregoing sentence by requesting that the Escrow Agent release amounts constituting the Indemnification Escrow Deposit or the Net Asset Escrow Deposit only at such time as the remaining amount of either such escrow deposit would otherwise be distributable to the Stockholders. Any remaining amount of the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount (including any such funds obtained from the Indemnification Escrow Deposit and the Net Asset Escrow Deposit) shall be distributed to the Stockholders at such time as is determined by the Stockholders’ Representative, in a manner proportionate with their respective Pro Rata Share. For tax purposes, the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount will be treated as having been received and voluntarily set aside by the Stockholders at the time of Closing. This Section 1.19 does not prevent the Stockholders’ Representative from seeking any remedies available to it at law or otherwise. The Stockholders acknowledge and agree that all communications after the Closing with the Company, Buyer or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents with respect to matters arising under this Agreement, shall be made exclusively by the Stockholders’ Representative, except with respect to rights specifically held by the Founders under the terms of this Agreement. To ensure the protection of all confidential and proprietary information of the Company and Buyer, the Stockholders’ Representative shall not disclose any confidential information to the Stockholders with respect to the Business, the Company, Buyer or this Agreement after Closing without the prior written consent of Buyer; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be permitted to disclose information to the Advisory Group in connection with its services as the Stockholders’ Representative and to the Stockholders in connection with the defense of any Indemnification Claim. The Stockholders’ Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time.

(b) Certain Stockholders (the “Advisory Group”) have concurrently herewith entered into a letter agreement with the Stockholders’ Representative regarding direction to be provided by the Advisory Group to the Stockholders’ Representative. The Advisory Group shall

 

16


incur no liability to the Stockholders for any liability incurred by the members of the Advisory Group while acting in good faith and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of their duties (it being understood that any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith), even if such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of the Advisory Group or one of its members. This indemnification and exculpation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

1.20 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Escrow Deposit. Except to the extent required by a determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code or any other similar settlement, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, no party hereto shall file any Tax Returns inconsistent with the following characterizations: (a) the portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit allocable to Optionholders is not intended to be compensation or wages, or subject to withholding as such, unless and until such portion (or any part thereof) is distributed to the persons who held Vested Options immediately prior to the Effective Time and (b) the remaining portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit allocable to holders of Company Capital Stock and the Warrantholder is intended to be treated as deferred contingent purchase price eligible for installment sale treatment under Section 453 of the Code and any corresponding provision of non-U.S., state or local law, as appropriate. The parties also agree that, consistent with Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.468B-8 (as applicable), for U.S. federal income Tax reporting purposes, all interest or other income earned from the investment of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit or any portion thereof in any taxable year shall be reported as allocated to Buyer until the distribution of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit (or portions thereof) is determined.

43


4.2 No Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of its or their Representatives to, and the Company shall instruct, and cause each applicable Subsidiary, if any, to instruct, each such Representative not to, directly or indirectly, solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage the submission of any Acquisition Proposal or the making of any inquiry, offer or proposal that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition Proposal, or, (a) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to or otherwise cooperate in any way, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Acquisition Proposal, (b)(A) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) approve any transaction under, or any Third Party becoming an “interested stockholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL, (c) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating to any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any agreement or agreement in principle requiring the Company to abandon, terminate or fail to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or breach its obligations hereunder (an “Acquisition Agreement”), or (d) resolve, propose or agree to do any of the foregoing. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the foregoing restrictions by any Subsidiary of the Company or Representatives of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Section 4.2 by the Company. The Company shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives to cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Third Party (or its agents or advisors) in possession of non-public information in respect of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries that was furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to return or destroy (and confirm destruction of) all such information.

4.3 Access to Information. From the date hereof until the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company shall (at reasonable times and upon reasonable written notice) (a) give to Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access to the offices, properties, books, records, Contracts, Governmental Approvals, documents, directors, officers and employees of the Acquired Companies during normal business hours, (b) furnish to Buyer and its Representatives such financial, Tax and operating data and other information as such Persons may reasonably request, and (c) instruct its Representatives to cooperate with Buyer and its Representatives in its investigation; provided, however, that the Company may restrict the foregoing access to the extent that (i) any Applicable Law requires the Company to restrict or prohibit access to any such properties or information, (ii) such disclosure would, based on the advice of such party’s counsel, result in a waiver of attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other

 

44


privilege applicable to such information or (iii) the disclosure of such information would violate confidentiality obligations owed to a third party and such confidentiality obligations were in effect prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to clauses (ii) and (iii) of this Section 4.3, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to develop an alternative method for providing such information to Buyer. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 4.3 shall be conducted in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the business of the Company.

4.4 Notice of Certain Events.

(a) In connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries between the date of this Agreement and the earlier of the Effective Time or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, subject to Applicable Law, the executive officers of the Company shall consult in good faith on a regular basis with Buyer to report material (individually or in the aggregate) operational developments, the status of relationships with customers, resellers, partners, suppliers, licensors, licensees, distributors and others having material business relationships with the Company, the status of ongoing operations and other matters reasonably requested by Buyer pursuant to procedures reasonably requested by Buyer; provided that no such consultation shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or obligations of the parties (or remedies with respect thereto) or the conditions to the obligations of the parties under this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall promptly notify Buyer of:

(i) any written notice or other written communication (or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other notice or communication) from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(ii) any substantive notice or other substantive communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(iii) any Action commenced or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to Section 2 or that relates to the consummation of the Transactions or any Action involving stockholder litigation or Claims against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors or employees relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the Transactions;

(iv) any written notice or other written communication (or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other notice or communication) from any Significant Customer or Significant Supplier that such Significant Customer or Significant Supplier is terminating its relationship with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a result of the Transactions; and

 

45


(v) any inaccuracy of any representation or warranty or breach of covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement at any time during the term hereof that would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions set forth in Section 5.2(a) not to be satisfied.

No settlement in connection with any Action referred to in clause (iii) above shall be agreed to without Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For clarity, the unintentional failure to give notice under this Section 4.4(b) shall not be deemed to be a breach of covenant under this Section 4.4(b) and shall constitute only a breach of the underlying representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or condition, as the case may be.

(c) Buyer shall promptly notify Company of:

(i) any substantive notice or other substantive communication from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; or

(ii) any Action commenced or, to the knowledge of Buyer, threatened against Buyer that relates to the consummation of the Transactions.

4.5 401(k) Plans. Effective as of the Business Day immediately preceding the Effective Time, unless otherwise directed in writing by Buyer at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all actions necessary to effect the termination of any and all 401(k) plans sponsored or maintained by Company and shall provide Buyer evidence that each of Company’s 401(k) plans has been terminated pursuant to an action by the Company Board.

4.6 Director and Officer Liability.

(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase an officer’s and director’s liability insurance tail policy satisfactory to Buyer, which policy shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time, including, in respect of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Surviving Corporation shall maintain such policies in full force and effect for their full term, and continue to honor the obligations thereunder.

(b) From and after the Effective Time through the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will, and Buyer will cause the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations of the Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to: (i) each indemnification agreement in effect between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Director Indemnified Parties”); and (ii) any indemnification provision and any exculpation provision set forth in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company as in effect on the date of this Agreement; provided, that such obligations shall be subject to any limitation imposed from time to time under Applicable

 

46


Law. If, at any time prior to the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time, any Director Indemnified Party delivers to the Company, the Surviving Corporation or Buyer, as applicable, a written notice asserting a claim for indemnification under any of the provisions set forth in clause (i) or (ii) above, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Effective Time until such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(c) If Buyer, the Surviving Corporation or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, to the extent necessary, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 4.6.

(d) The obligations under this Section 4.6 shall not be terminated or modified in such manner as to materially and adversely affect any Director Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Director Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Director Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 4.6 and shall be entitled to enforce the covenants contained herein).

4.7 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Law to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, waiting period expirations or terminations, consents and approvals from Governmental Authorities and the making of all necessary registrations and filings (including filings with Governmental Authorities, if any), (ii) the delivery of required notices to, and the obtaining of required consents or waivers from, third parties and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions and to fully carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

(b) In furtherance and not in limitation of the undertakings pursuant to this Section 4.7, each of Buyer and the Company shall, or shall cause their ultimate parent entity as that term is defined in the HSR Act to, (i) provide or cause to be provided as promptly as practicable to Governmental Authorities with regulatory jurisdiction over enforcement of the HSR Act or any applicable foreign competition, merger control or antitrust law (each such Governmental Authority, a “Governmental Antitrust Authority”) information and documents requested by any Governmental Antitrust Authority or necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including preparing and filing any notification and report form and related material required under any Antitrust Laws as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement (but in no event more than five (5) Business Days from the date hereof except by mutual consent confirmed in writing) and thereafter to respond as promptly as practicable to any request for additional information or documentary material. Buyer shall pay any filing fees required under the HSR Act and any applicable foreign

 

47


competition, merger control or antitrust law in connection with this Section 4.7. Each of Buyer and the Company agrees to request early termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall require Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries to, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of Buyer agree or proffer to, divest, hold separate, or enter into any divestiture, license or similar agreement, agree to any material undertakings with respect to, or agree to restrict the ownership or operation of, or agree to conduct or operate in a specified manner, all or any material portion of the business or assets of Buyer, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall Buyer, any of its Subsidiaries or any Acquired Company be obligated to litigate or participate in the litigation of any Action, whether judicial or administrative, brought by any Governmental Antitrust Authority or appeal any Order (i) challenging or seeking to make illegal, delay materially or otherwise directly or indirectly restrain or prohibit the consummation of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seeking to obtain from Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries any damages in connection therewith, or (ii) seeking to prohibit or limit in any respect, or place any conditions on, the ownership or operation by the Company, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates of all or any portion of the business, assets or any product of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries or to require any such Person to divest, dispose of, license (whether pursuant to an exclusive or nonexclusive license) or enter into a consent decree or hold separate all or any portion of the business, assets or any product of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries, in each case as a result of or in connection with the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall give Buyer the opportunity to participate in the defense of any Action against the Company and/or its directors relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will obtain the prior written consent of Buyer prior to settling or satisfying any such Action (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) Subject to Applicable Law relating to the exchange of information, the Company and Buyer and their respective counsel shall (i) have the right to review in advance, and to the extent practicable each shall consult the other on, any filing made with, or written materials to be submitted to, any Governmental Antitrust Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (ii) promptly inform each other of any substantive communication (or other correspondence or memoranda) received from, or given to, any Governmental Antitrust Authority and (iii) promptly furnish each other with copies of all correspondence, filings and written communications between them or their subsidiaries or affiliates, on the one hand, and any Governmental Antitrust Authority or its respective staff, on the other hand, with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The Company and Buyer shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other party and its counsel with advance notice of and the opportunity to participate in any discussion, telephone call or meeting with any Governmental Antitrust Authority in respect of any filing, investigation or other inquiry in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to participate in the preparation for such discussion, telephone call or meeting. Neither Buyer nor the Company shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Antitrust Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of

 

48


the other. The Company and Buyer may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 4.7 as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material”. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4.7, materials provided to the other party or its counsel may be redacted to remove references concerning the valuation of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(e) Each of Buyer, the Company and Buyer Merger Sub agrees that, between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, each of Buyer, the Company and Buyer Merger Sub shall not, and shall ensure that none of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall, take any action or propose, announce an intention or agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any action (including, but not limited to, entering into any acquisition agreements with third parties) that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.8 Certain Filings. The Company and Buyer shall cooperate with one another (i) in determining whether any action by or in respect of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required, or any actions, consents, approvals or waivers are required to be obtained from parties to any material contracts, in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) in taking such reasonable actions or making any such filings, furnishing information required in connection therewith and seeking timely to obtain any such actions, consents, approvals or waivers; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 4.8 shall not apply to any antitrust-related filings, actions, consents approvals or waivers, which are governed by Section 4.7.

4.9 Public Announcements. Buyer and either (a) the Company, if prior to the Effective Time, or (b) the Stockholders’ Representative, if after the Effective Time, shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any other public statement, or scheduling a press conference or conference call with investors or analysts, with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such other public statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except as such release or announcement may be required by Applicable Law, in connection with any filings under the HSR Act or any foreign antitrust, merger control or competition laws (including in response to inquiries by a Governmental Authority in connection with its investigation of the Transaction described herein) or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of Buyer are listed, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall consult with the other party about, and allow the other party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, and the party will consider such comments in good faith. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, following Closing, the Stockholders’ Representative shall be permitted to, after the public announcement of the Merger, disclose that it has been engaged to serve as the Stockholders’ Representative as long as such disclosure does not disclose any of the other terms of the Merger or the other transactions contemplated herein.

4.10 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Buyer Merger Sub, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or

 

49


assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf of the Company or Buyer Merger Sub, any other actions and things to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Corporation any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Corporation as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger.

4.11 Confidentiality. Buyer and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree to continue to be bound by the Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016, by and between Buyer and the Company, as amended by the Amendment to the Confidentiality and Nondisclosure Agreement dated July 8, 2016.

4.12 Tax Matters.

(a) Tax Returns. Buyer shall cause all Tax Returns of the Company for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Pre-Closing Straddle Periods required to be filed after the Closing Date to be prepared and timely filed and shall timely pay the Taxes shown as due and owning thereon (subject to Buyer’s right to indemnification pursuant to Section 6). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with past practices of the Company except as required by Applicable Law. Buyer shall permit the Stockholders’ Representative a reasonable opportunity (of not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the filing due date) to review and comment on each income Tax Return and sales or any other material Tax Return which would result in an indemnification obligation of the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement that is to be prepared by Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.12(a) and shall consider the reasonable comments of the Stockholders’ Representative in good faith.

(b) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall control the conduct and resolution of any claim or the commencement of any action, in respect of which an indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 6 (a “Tax Claim”); provided, that (i) the Stockholders’ Representative will be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such claim at the expense of the Stockholders and to employ counsel of its own choice for such purpose at the expense of the Stockholders, (ii) Buyer shall consider the comments of the Stockholders’ Representative and its counsel with respect to such Tax Claim in good faith prior to agreeing to any settlement or other compromise of such Tax Claim and (iii) Buyer shall not enter into any settlement of or otherwise compromise any Tax Claim that would give rise to an indemnification claim pursuant to this Agreement without the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer, the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders agree to give prompt written notice to each other of the receipt of any written notice by any of them which involves a Tax Claim (and Buyer shall cause the Company to provide such notice); provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder, unless the party who was supposed to receive such notice has been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure.

(c) Tax Cooperation. Buyer, the Company, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Stockholders shall cooperate fully (and Buyer shall cause the Company to so cooperate fully), as and to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer or the Stockholders, in connection with (i) the preparation and filing of any Tax Return, (ii) any Tax Claim, and (iii) any other matter under this Agreement relating to Taxes, in each case with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period

 

50


or Straddle Period. Such cooperation shall include the retention and, upon Buyer’s or the Shareholder’s request, the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to any such Tax matter and access to employees and representatives on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer agrees to cause the Company, and the Stockholders agree, to (i) retain all books and records relevant to Tax matters of the Company with respect to Pre-Closing Tax Periods until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and any extensions thereof) of the applicable Tax period, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to give Buyer reasonable notice prior to destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests upon such notice, the Stockholders, shall allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records.

(d) Certain Taxes and Fees. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (“Transfer Taxes”) shall be paid by the Stockholders and the Stockholders shall file all Tax Returns with respect thereto.

(e) Straddle Period Tax Allocation. For purposes of this Agreement, where Taxes involve a Straddle Period, such Taxes shall be calculated as though the taxable year terminated as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Tax period of any “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957(a) of the Code, partnership or other pass-through entity in which any Acquired Company holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time); provided, however, that in the case of a Tax not based on income, receipts, payments, payroll, or similar items, such Taxes shall be equal to the amount of Tax for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of days from the beginning of the Straddle Period through to and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which shall be the number of days in the Straddle Period.

(f) Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax Sharing Agreements shall be terminated as of the date hereof and none of the Acquired Companies shall have any further rights or liabilities thereunder. For purposes hereof, “Tax Sharing Agreements” means all existing agreements or arrangements (whether or not written) binding any of the Acquired Companies that provide for the allocation, apportionment, sharing, indemnification or assignment among them of any liability for Taxes or benefit with respect thereto, or the transfer or assignment of income, revenues, receipts or gains for the purpose of determining any Person’s liability for Taxes.

(g) Except as required by a change in Applicable Law following the Closing, Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit any of the Acquired Companies to (i) make or change any Tax election that has any retroactive effect on any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Pre-Closing Straddle Period or (ii) amend or cause to be amended any Tax Return of any of the Acquired Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each case without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), unless such election or amendment would not give rise to or increase an Indemnifying Party’s liability pursuant to this Agreement.

 

51


4.13 Termination of Certain Agreements; Waivers.

(a) On or prior to the Closing, the Company and the Stockholders shall terminate, or cause to be terminated, with no further liability or obligation of any Acquired Company, all Stockholder Agreements and shall provide satisfactory written evidence thereof to Buyer.

(b) On or prior to the Closing, the Company and each Major Investor shall amend Section 1(d) of the applicable indemnification agreement between the Company and the director designee of such Major Investor to provide that such indemnification obligations of the Company owed to such Major Investor shall exclude any matter for which such Major Investor has an indemnification obligation to the Buyer Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement.

4.14 Requisite Stockholder Approval.

(a) The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, immediately after the execution and delivery of this Agreement (but no later than one (1) hour thereafter), the delivery of the Stockholder Consent, which shall constitute all requisite approvals by any holders of Capital Stock of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Promptly, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall deliver notice to all holders of the Capital Stock of the approval by the requisite number of holders of Capital Stock of this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby, pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL, including Section 228(e), and the Company’s Charter Documents (the “Stockholder Notices”).

(d) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer or any of the other Indemnified Parties, the Stockholder Notices and the Section 262 Notice, including any amendments or supplements thereto, shall be subject to review and reasonable approval by Buyer.

(e) Each party shall provide to the other any information for inclusion in the preparation of the Stockholder Consent, the Stockholder Notices or Section 262 Notices that may be required by law and that is reasonably requested by any other party.

(f) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (including through the exercise of all available drag-along and similar rights) to cause the General Release and Joinder Agreement to be executed on or prior to the Closing Date by all the holders of Capital Stock that have not executed the Stockholder Consent.

52


stockholders of the Company as is required by the terms of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code (in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer) of a written consent in favor of a proposal to render the parachute payment provisions of Section 280G of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder (collectively, “Section 280G”) inapplicable to any and all payments and/or benefits that might result, separately or in the aggregate, in the payment of any amount and/or the provision of any benefit that would not be deductible by reason of Section 280G or that would be subject to an excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code (together, the “Section 280G Payments”). Any such stockholder approval shall be sought by the Company in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations. The Company agrees that: (i) in the absence of such stockholder approval, no Section 280G Payments shall be made; and (ii) promptly after execution of this Agreement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Buyer waivers, duly executed by each Person who might receive any Section 280G Payment. The form and substance of all stockholder approval documents contemplated by this Section 4.15, including the waivers, shall be subject to the prior review and reasonable approval of Buyer.

4.16 Employee Benefits Matters.

(a) All Continuing Employees of the Company shall continue in their existing benefit plans until such time as, in Buyer’s sole discretion, an orderly transition can be accomplished to employee benefit plans and programs maintained by Buyer for its and its affiliates’ employees (each, a “Buyer Plan”). Buyer shall take such reasonable actions, to the extent permitted by each applicable Buyer Plan, as are necessary to allow eligible employees of the Company to participate in such Buyer Plan or alternative benefits programs that in the aggregate are substantially equivalent to those applicable to employees of Buyer in similar functions and positions on similar terms (it being understood that equity incentive plans are not considered employee benefits). Pending such action, Buyer shall maintain the effectiveness of the Company’s benefit plans.

(b) All Continuing Employees of the Company shall be given credit for all service with the Company (or service credited by the Company) for purposes of eligibility and vesting under all Buyer Plans in which they become participants. No employees of the Company (or their dependents) shall be excluded from, or limited in, receiving any benefits or participating in a group health plan of Buyer for which they would otherwise be eligible by reason of any waiting period, evidence of insurability requirement, pre-existing condition exclusion or similar limitation. To the extent that any employee of the Company has satisfied any deductible or copayment under a Company Employee Plan for the current plan year, Buyer shall provide such employee with credit for such payment under the most closely equivalent Buyer Plan under which the deductible or copayment was paid, to the extent permitted by each such Buyer Plan.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 4.16 shall create any third party rights in any current or former employee, director or other service provider of any Acquired Company, Buyer, or any of their respective Affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

  6. Indemnification.

No claim may be made by any Indemnified Party pursuant to (a) Sections 6.2(b) or (c) after the thirty-six (36)-month anniversary of the Closing Date; (b) Section 6.2(d) 30 days after the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations on such claims; and (c) Sections 6.2(e), (f) and (g) after the six (6)-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time on or prior to the expiration date referred to in the prior two sentences, any Indemnified Party delivers a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such representations and warranties and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 6.2 or Section 6.3, as applicable, based on such alleged inaccuracy in or breach, then such representation, warranty or covenant shall survive solely as to such claim until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved. It is the express intent of the parties that, if the applicable survival period for an item as contemplated by this Section 6.1 is shorter than the statute of limitations that would otherwise have been applicable to such item, then, by contract, the applicable statute of limitations with respect to such item shall be reduced to the shortened survival period contemplated hereby. The parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 6.1 for the assertion of claims under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed among the parties.

6.2 Indemnification by the Stockholders. Subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions contained in this Section 6, from and after the Closing, the Stockholders, severally (and not jointly) in proportion to their Pro Rata Share, shall indemnify and hold harmless (such obligations to indemnify and hold harmless are referred to herein from time to time as “Indemnification Obligations”) Buyer and the Surviving Corporation (the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, third party claims, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (collectively, “Losses”), actually incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties arising out of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company contained in this Agreement;

 

57


(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by the Company contained in this Agreement and required to be performed prior to the Closing;

(c) any Indebtedness of the Company incurred prior to the Effective Time or Transaction Expenses, in each case, that is not otherwise taken into account in the Closing Merger Consideration;

(d) any Indemnified Taxes;

(e) any claims by any holder of Capital Stock or any other equity interests of the Company as a result of the exercise of such holder’s appraisal rights (net of any amount that would otherwise have been payable to such holder exercising any appraisal rights);

(f) any inaccuracy or omission in the allocation amounts payable to the Stockholders or any other purported securityholders of the Company as set forth in the Closing Allocation Schedule, including without limitation with respect to amounts payable to Bonus Recipients and employees of Olapic Argentina who hold Options, as may be updated prior to Closing pursuant to the terms herein; and

(g) any intentional fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation.

6.3 Indemnification by Buyer. Subject to the limitations and other terms and conditions contained in this Section 6, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Stockholders, and the respective officers, directors, employees agents, representatives, successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Company Indemnified Parties arising out of:

(a) any breach of any representation or warranty made by Buyer or Buyer Merger Sub contained in this Agreement; and

(b) any breach of any covenant or agreement by Buyer, Buyer Merger Sub or the Surviving Corporation contained in this Agreement.

6.4 Indemnification Procedures.

(a) In the event that indemnification, compensation or reimbursement may be sought under this Section 6 (an “Indemnification Claim”) in connection with (i) any action, suit or proceeding that may be instituted or (ii) any claim that may be asserted, in any such case, by any Person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Party Claim”), the party seeking indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly cause written notice of the assertion of such Indemnification Claim to be delivered to the party from whom indemnification, compensation or reimbursement hereunder is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Indemnification Claim involves recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit) prior to the applicable survival date set forth in Section 6.1; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in giving any such notice shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of any indemnification, compensation or reimbursement obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent that) the

 

58


Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such delay. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, to be represented by counsel of its choice, and to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any Indemnification Claim. The Indemnifying Party may participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnification Claim; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall control such defense, negotiation or settlement. At the Indemnifying Party’s request, the Indemnified Party shall provide the Indemnifying Party with updates as to the status of such Indemnification Claim and any other material information in respect of such claim as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. Each Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnified Party any documents and materials in such Indemnifying Party’s possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of any Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a settlement offer solely for money damages is made by the applicable third party claimant, and the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing of the Indemnifying Party’s willingness to accept the settlement offer and, subject to the applicable limitations of Section 6.5, pay the amount called for by such offer, and the Indemnified Party declines to accept such offer, the Indemnified Party may continue to contest such Indemnification Claim, free of any participation by the Indemnifying Party, and the amount of any ultimate liability with respect to such Indemnification Claim that the Indemnifying Party has an obligation to pay hereunder shall be limited to the lesser of (1) the amount of the settlement offer that the Indemnified Party declined to accept plus the Losses of the Indemnified Party relating to such Indemnification Claim through the date of its rejection of the settlement offer; or (2) the aggregate Losses of the Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnification Claim. No settlement of any Third Party Claim will be determinative of the existence or amount of Losses relating to such Third Party Claim, except with the consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If the Stockholders’ Representative has consented to any such settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Stockholders or the consenting Indemnifying Parties, as applicable, shall have no power or authority to object under any provision of this Section 6 to the existence or amount of such settlement, adjustment or compromise constituting such Losses but shall not be an admission of any indemnification obligations under this Section 6. In the event that the losses claimed by the Indemnified Party, including in a claim that has been settled without the Stockholders’ Representative’s consent or in which the Indemnified Party has ultimately prevailed, including defense costs, the Indemnified Party shall not be entitled to recover from the Stockholders the portion of the defense costs that are deemed to be excessive by the Arbitrator or any court of law having jurisdiction over such dispute.

(b) In the event that an Indemnified Party has any claim against an Indemnifying Party hereunder, but which such claim does not involve an action, suit, proceeding or claim by a third party not party to this Agreement, which such Indemnified Party determines to assert, then such Indemnified Party shall assert such Indemnification Claim by sending written notice to the Indemnifying Party (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Indemnification Claim involves recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit) describing in reasonable detail the nature of such claim and, to the extent practicable, the Indemnified Party’s estimate of the amount of Losses attributable to such claim.

 

59


(c) Each Indemnification Claim given by an Indemnified Party shall be resolved as follows:

(i) If, within thirty (30) days after an Indemnification Claim is received by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party does not contest such Indemnification Claim in writing to the Indemnified Party (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Indemnification Claim involves recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit) as provided in Section 6.4(c)(ii), the Indemnifying Party shall be conclusively deemed to have consented to the recovery by the Indemnified Party of the full amount of Losses (subject to the limitations contained in this Section 6) specified in the Indemnification Claim in accordance with this Section 6, including, if applicable, the forfeiture of all or a portion of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit, and, without further notice, to have stipulated to the entry of a final judgment for damages against the Indemnifying Party for such amount in any court having jurisdiction over the matter where venue is proper.

(ii) If the Indemnifying Party gives the Indemnified Party written notice contesting all or any portion of an Indemnification Claim (a “Contested Claim”) (with a copy to the Escrow Agent if the Claim involves recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit) within the 30-day period specified in Section 6.4(c)(i), then such Contested Claim shall be resolved by either (A) a written settlement agreement executed by Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative (a copy of which shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent if the Indemnification Claim involves recovery against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit) or (B) in the absence of such a written settlement agreement within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Indemnified Party of the written notice from the Indemnifying Party, by binding arbitration between Buyer and the Company in accordance with the terms and provisions of Section 6.4(c)(i).

(d) Buyer may bring an Indemnification Claim in the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator to resolve a Contested Claim. The decision of the Arbitrator as to the validity and amount of any claim in such Contested Claim shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Parties, and the Escrow Agent, as applicable, shall be obligated to act in accordance with such decision and, if applicable, make or withhold payments out of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit in accordance therewith. Judgment upon any award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of this Section 6.4(d), in any suit hereunder in which any claim or the amount thereof stated in an Indemnification Claim is at issue, the party seeking indemnification, compensation or reimbursement shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party unless the Arbitrator awards such party more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the party from whom indemnification, compensation or reimbursement is sought shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party. The non-prevailing party to a suit shall pay its own expenses and the expenses, including attorneys’ fees and documented out-of-pocket costs, reasonably incurred by the other party to the claim.

(e) If any amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed to any Buyer Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 6.4, then (i) within three (3) Business Days following the date such amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall execute and deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amount to the Buyer Indemnified Party from the Indemnification Escrow Deposit (to the extent of the Indemnification Escrow

 

60


Deposit) and (ii) if the amount remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Deposit is insufficient to cover the full amount that is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed to such Buyer Indemnified Party, then, subject to the limitations contained in Section 6.5, the Stockholders shall, within three (3) Business Days following the date such amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed, pay the amount of such shortfall to such Buyer Indemnified Party. If any amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed to any Company Indemnified Party in accordance with this Section 6.4, then within three (3) Business Days following the date such amount is determined, agreed or deemed agreed to be owed, Buyer shall deliver such amount to the Company Indemnified Party.

(f) This Section 6.4 shall not apply to any controversies regarding Tax Claims, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 4.12(b).

(g) This Section 6.4 shall not apply to any controversies regarding appraisal rights, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 1.7(c).

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, in each case in this Section 6.4 where the Indemnified Party or the Indemnifying Party is, collectively, the Stockholders, then in each such case all references to such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as the case may be, in this Section 6.4 shall be deemed (except for provisions relating to an obligation to make or a right to receive any payments) to refer to the Stockholders’ Representative acting on behalf of such Indemnified Party or Indemnifying Party, as applicable.

6.5 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6 to the contrary:

(a) Recourse by the Buyer Indemnified Parties against the proceeds then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Deposit shall be the Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive remedy in respect of the Stockholders’ indemnification obligations for the matters referred to in Section 6.2(a); provided, however, that the limitation contained in this sentence shall not apply to claims under Section 6.2(a) in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of a Fundamental Representation; and

(b) To the extent that the Buyer Indemnified Parties are entitled to recovery under Section 6 in excess of proceeds then remaining in the Indemnification Escrow Deposit, (i) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall not be entitled to recover amounts directly from the Stockholders under this Section 6 in respect of the Stockholders’ indemnification obligations until such time as the Indemnification Escrow Deposit has been fully exhausted; provided, however, unless the Stockholders’ Representative has satisfied such Losses from the Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount pursuant to Section 1.19, Buyer shall not be required to first proceed against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit prior to seeking from any Stockholder, and shall be permitted to proceed against any Stockholder without proceeding against the Indemnification Escrow Deposit, if any Buyer Indemnified Party incurs Losses arising out of Section 6.2(f) by virtue, and to the extent, of any undue benefit received by such specific Stockholder pursuant to the Closing Allocation Schedule or Section 6.2(g) by virtue, and to the extent, of the intentional fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation of such specific Stockholder; (ii) for each such Loss a Stockholder shall only be liable for its Pro Rata Share of

 

61


such Loss; and (iii) in no event shall the aggregate indemnification obligations of any Stockholder exceed the amount actually received by such Stockholder as Merger consideration hereunder (inclusive of its share of the Net Asset Escrow Deposit, Indemnification Escrow Deposit and Stockholders’ Representative Expense Holdback Amount actually received), except solely in the case of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation committed by such Stockholder.

(c) The amount of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit then remaining on deposit with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement (after taking into account any amounts to be released to the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 1.19) shall be released to the Stockholders, based on their respective Pro Rata Share, no later than eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement; provided, however, if any claim or claims for indemnification are pending on such date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date, the amount released from the Indemnification Escrow Deposit to the Stockholders shall be reduced by the amount of any such pending claim or claims, and any such amount so retained by the Escrow Agent shall be released upon final resolution of any such claim or claims; provided further, however, on the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing, the amount of the Indemnification Escrow Deposit then remaining on deposit with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement in excess of the sum of (i) $5,000,000 (after taking into account any amounts to be released to the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to Section 1.19) plus (ii) the amount of any unresolved claims, shall be released to the Stockholders, based on their respective Pro Rata Share in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.

(d) The right to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement or any other remedy based on representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall not be affected by any investigation conducted at any time, or any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Closing Date, with respect to the accuracy or inaccuracy of or compliance with any such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

(e) For purposes of determining an inaccuracy in any representations or warranties, the breach of or failure to perform any covenants or agreement and calculating Losses under this Section 6 only, materiality, material adverse effect (including Material Adverse Effect) or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representations, warranties, covenants or agreements shall be disregarded.

(f) Subject to Section 6.5(g) and without limiting the effect of any other limitation contained in this Agreement, the indemnification obligations of the Stockholders provided for in Section 6.2 will not apply, and the Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to exercise any indemnification rights under this Agreement, unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses against which such Indemnified Parties would otherwise be entitled to be indemnified under Section 6.2 exceeds $650,000 (the “Deductible”), after which the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to indemnification for all of their Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, however, that this Section 6.5(f) and the Deductible will not apply to any Excluded Matters.

(g) Any claim for Losses will be calculated (i) without regard to incidental, special, speculative, indirect or consequential damages, in each case that are not reasonably foreseeable (unless such damages are actually awarded to a third party by a Governmental

 

62


Authority); (ii) without regard to diminutions of value (unless such damages are actually awarded to a third party by a Governmental Authority); (iii) without regard to punitive damages (unless such punitive damages are actually awarded to a third party by a Governmental Authority); (iv) net of any Loss Tax Benefit inuring to any Indemnified Party directly attributable to such Losses; and (v) such that costs and expenses (including those incurred in investigating, defending or resolving any applicable third party claim) shall constitute Losses if and solely to the extent that such underlying third party claim is indemnifiable hereunder (without taking into account such costs and expenses). For purposes of this Section 6.5(g), “Loss Tax Benefit” means any refund of Taxes paid or net reduction in the amount of cash Taxes that otherwise would have been paid, in each case computed on a “with and without” basis, to the extent actually recognized in the taxable period in which the applicable indemnifiable Losses are incurred or the immediately succeeding taxable period.

(h) The amount of any Losses payable under this Section 6 will be net of amounts actually received by the Indemnified Party under its applicable insurance policies issued by insurance companies with respect to such Losses (net of any expenses incurred in obtaining such recovery and net of any deductible associated therewith, any increase in premiums (including retro premium obligations) resulting therefrom and net of Taxes or other liabilities incurred by such Indemnified Party and/or any of its Affiliates as a result of such claim and out-of-pocket costs of collecting such insurance proceeds).

7.7 Consent to Jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 7.8, each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally consents to the jurisdiction of J.A.M.S./Endispute, Inc. in Boston, Massachusetts (the “Arbitrator”) to resolve all disputes, claims or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the General Release and Joinder Agreement or the negotiation, breach, validity, termination or performance hereof and thereof or the Transaction, and further consents to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware and such courts and appellate courts therefrom for the purposes of enforcing the arbitration provisions of this Section 7.7 of this Agreement. Each party further irrevocably waives any objection to proceeding before the Arbitrator based upon lack of personal jurisdiction or to the laying of venue and further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to make a claim in any court that arbitration before the Arbitrator has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the parties hereto hereby consents to service of process by registered mail at the address to which notices are to be given. Each of the parties hereto agrees that its or his submission to jurisdiction and its or his consent to service of process by mail is made for the express benefit of the other parties hereto.

7.8 Remedies; Severability. It is specifically understood and agreed that any breach of the provisions of this Agreement by any Person subject hereto will result in irreparable injury to the other parties hereto, that the remedy at law alone will be an inadequate remedy for such breach, and that, in addition to any other remedies which they may have, such other parties may enforce their respective rights by actions for specific performance (to the extent permitted by Law); provided, that following the Closing, Section 6.6 hereof shall control exclusively on remedies. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed prohibited or invalid under such Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, and such prohibition or invalidity shall not invalidate the remainder of such provision or the other provisions of this Agreement.

7.9 Integration. This Agreement, including the exhibits, schedules, documents and instruments referred to herein or therein constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

7.10 Assignability; Binding Agreement. Buyer may freely assign any or all of its rights hereunder to an Affiliate of Buyer. This Agreement (including, without limitation, the provisions of Section 7) shall be binding upon and enforceable by, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no others; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned by any party hereto (other than to an Affiliate of Buyer) without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative; provided further, however, that Buyer shall be permitted to collaterally assign its interests hereunder to its existing lender as required by and pursuant to the terms of Buyer’s existing credit facility with such lender without the Stockholders’ Representative’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing and except as provided in Section 4.6 and Section 6.2 hereof, nothing in this Agreement is intended to give any Person not named herein the benefit of any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement, except as expressly provided herein.

 

67


7.11 Expenses. The Stockholders shall bear all expenses (and legal fees and disbursements) of the Company incurred in connection with the Transaction prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Closing that remain unpaid as of Closing and that are not otherwise appropriately reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet. Buyer shall bear all of its own expenses (and legal fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with the Transaction.

7.12 Currency. Unless otherwise specified herein, all referenced in this Agreement to money or to currency means United States Dollars, and all monies due or to be paid hereunder shall be paid in United States Dollars.

7.13 Disclosure Schedule. The inclusion of any information in the Disclosure Schedules will not be deemed an admission or acknowledgment that such information is required to be listed in the Disclosure Schedules or that such items are material. The Disclosure Schedules are arranged in sections corresponding to the sections contained in this Agreement merely for convenience, and the disclosure of an item in one section of the Disclosure Schedules as an exception to a particular representation or warranty made by a party hereto will be deemed adequately disclosed as an exception with respect to all other representations and warranties made by such party hereto to the extent that the relevance of such item to such representations or warranties is readily apparent on the face of such disclosure, notwithstanding the presence or absence of a specific cross-reference thereto.

7.14 Representation by Counsel.

(a) Each party hereto represents and agrees with each other that it has been represented by or had the opportunity to be represented by, independent counsel of its own choosing, and that it has had the full right and opportunity to consult with its respective attorney(s), that to the extent, if any, that it desired, it availed itself of this right and opportunity, that it or its authorized officers (as the case may be) have carefully read and fully understand this Agreement in its entirety and have had it fully explained to them by such party’s respective counsel, that each is fully aware of the contents thereof and its meaning, intent and legal effect, and that it or its authorized officer (as the case may be) is competent to execute this Agreement and has executed this Agreement free from coercion, duress or undue influence. Notwithstanding that the Company has been represented by Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP (“Gunderson Dettmer”) in the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, the Company agrees that after the Closing Gunderson Dettmer may represent the Stockholders’ Representative, the Stockholders and/or their affiliates in matters related to this Agreement and/or the Transaction Documents, including without limitation in respect of any indemnification claims pursuant to this Agreement and/or the Transaction Documents between the Surviving Corporation on the one hand and the Stockholders’ Representative or the Stockholders on the other hand. The Company hereby acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its affiliates, that it has had an opportunity to ask for and has obtained information relevant to such representation, including disclosure of the reasonably foreseeable adverse consequences of such representation, and it hereby waives any conflict arising out of such future representation. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between direct and indirect holders of Capital Stock, the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and Gunderson Dettmer, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions shall be

 

68


deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the direct and indirect holders of Capital Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Company, the Surviving Corporation or their respective Subsidiaries). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, from and after the Effective Time, (a) the direct and indirect holders of Capital Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries) shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and none of the Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries shall be a holder thereof, (b) to the extent that files of Gunderson Dettmer in respect of such engagement (x) constitute attorney-client privileged files and (y) are property of the client, only the direct and indirect holders of Capital Stock and their respective Affiliates (and not the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries) shall hold such property rights and (c) Gunderson Dettmer shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Surviving Corporation and the Company or any of its subsidiaries or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Surviving Corporation or any of its subsidiaries is waiving any attorney-client privilege (including relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in connection with any third-party litigation.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between any Acquired Company, on the one hand, and a third party other than the Stockholders, on the other hand, Buyer, the Acquired Companies or their respective Subsidiaries may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent the disclosure of the privileged communications subject to Section 7.14(a) to such third party; provided, however, that no Acquired Company or its Subsidiaries may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. In the event that any Acquired Company or its Subsidiaries is legally required by governmental order or otherwise to access or obtain a copy of all or a portion of the privileged communications subject to Section 7.14(a), Buyer shall promptly (and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days) notify the Stockholders’ Representative so that the Stockholders’ Representative can seek a protective order.
