NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE OFFER

Section 1.1. The Offer.

(a) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to Article IX and that the Company shall have complied with its obligations under Section 1.2, as promptly as practicable after the date hereof (but in no event more than twenty (20) business days thereafter), Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) the Offer; provided that, without limiting the foregoing, Parent shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) use reasonable best efforts to commence the Offer on or prior to April 9, 2018. In the Offer, each share of Company Common Stock accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer shall be exchanged for the right to receive (i) $36.00 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration”), and (ii) 0.0711 of a share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”), without interest (the “Stock Consideration” and, together with the Cash Consideration, the “Offer Consideration”), subject to the other provisions of this Article I. The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase (the “Offer to Purchase”) that is disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock pursuant to the Exchange Act and contains the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Annex C). Each of Parent and Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including Annex C). The obligation of Purchaser to accept for exchange (and the obligation of Parent to cause Purchaser to accept for exchange) shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer shall be subject only to:

 

-2-


(i) the condition that, prior to the expiration of the Offer, there have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the Offer a number of shares of Company Common Stock that, upon the consummation of the Offer (for the avoidance of doubt, assuming that shares of Class B Common Stock validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) will convert into shares of Class A Common Stock upon the consummation of the Offer), together with the shares of Company Common Stock then owned by Parent and Purchaser (if any) (excluding shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been “received,” as such term is defined in Section 251(h) of the DGCL, by the depositary for the Offer pursuant to such procedures), would represent at least a majority of the aggregate voting power of the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Offer (the “Minimum Condition”); and

(ii) the other conditions set forth in Annex C.

(b) Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive or modify any of the conditions to the Offer and to make any change in the terms of, or conditions to, the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, without the prior written consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion), Purchaser may not (and Parent shall not permit Purchaser to) (i) amend, modify or waive the Minimum Condition, or waive any of the conditions set forth in clauses (B), (C), (D) or (E) of Annex C or (ii) make any change in the terms of or conditions to the Offer that (A) changes the form of consideration or changes the cash-stock mix to be paid in the Offer, (B) decreases the consideration in the Offer or the number of shares of Company Common Stock sought in the Offer, (C) extends the Offer, other than in a manner required or permitted by the provisions of Section 1.1(e), (D) imposes conditions to the Offer other than those set forth in Annex C, (E) amends or modifies (for the avoidance of doubts, waivers shall be governed by clause (i) above) any of the conditions set forth in Annex C or (F) amends or modifies any other term of or condition to the Offer in any manner that is adverse to the holders of Company Common Stock.

(c) Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Offer, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Common Stock who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Offer (after aggregating all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer (and not validly withdrawn) by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fractional part of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Parent Trading Price, rounded to the nearest cent.

(d) Adjustments to Offer Consideration. The Offer Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately, without duplication, to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Acceptance Time. Nothing in this Section 1.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

 

-3-


(e) Expiration and Extension of the Offer.

(i) Unless the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, the Offer shall expire at midnight, eastern standard time, on the date that is twenty (20) business days (for this purpose calculated in accordance with Section 14d-1(g) (3) and Rule 14e-1(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act). In the event that the Offer is extended pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, then the Offer shall expire on the date and at the time to which the Offer has been so extended.

(ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(e)(i) or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, unless Parent receives the prior written consent of the Company (which may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion):

(A) Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for any period required by any Law, or any rule, regulation, interpretation or position of the SEC or its staff or of the NYSE, in any such case, which is applicable to the Offer, or to the extent necessary to resolve any comments of the SEC or its staff applicable to the Offer or the Offer Documents or the Form S-4;

(B) in the event that any of the conditions to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer) have not been satisfied or waived as of any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) business days each (or for such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Company) in order to permit the satisfaction or valid waiver of the conditions to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition); provided that if any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer occurs on or before May 5, 2018, then Parent and Purchaser shall not extend the Offer beyond 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 8, 2018 (for clarity, without limiting Parent’s and Purchaser’s rights or obligations to further extend, if applicable); and

(C) if as of any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer each condition to the Offer (other than the Minimum Condition, and other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the expiration of the Offer (if such conditions would be satisfied or validly waived were the expiration of the Offer to occur at such time)) has been satisfied or waived and the Minimum Condition has not been satisfied, Purchaser may, and, at the request in writing of the Company, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, extend the Offer for successive extension periods of up to ten (10) business days each (with the length of each such period being determined in good faith by Parent) (or for such longer period as may be agreed by Parent and the Company); provided that in no event shall Purchaser or Parent be required to extend the expiration of the Offer for more than twenty (20) business days in the aggregate; provided, further, that if any then-scheduled expiration of the Offer occurs on or before May 5, 2018, then Parent and Purchaser shall not extend the Offer beyond 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 8, 2018 (for clarity, without limiting Parent’s and Purchaser’s rights or obligations to further extend, if applicable);

 

-4-


provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (x) any such extension shall not be deemed to impair, limit, or otherwise restrict in any manner the right of the Parties to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the terms of Article IX; and (y) if the Offer would otherwise expire pursuant to this Section 1.1(e) at any time after 11:59 p.m. New York City Time on May 8, 2018 and on or prior to May 24, 2018, Parent and Purchaser may extend the Offer to expire at 11:59 p.m. New York City time on May 24, 2018.

(iii) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall extend the Offer or provide a “subsequent offering period” within the meaning of Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act in any manner other than in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1(e)(ii) without the prior written consent of the Company.

(iv) Neither Parent nor Purchaser shall terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the Offer unless this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Article IX, in which case Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer promptly (but in no event more than one (1) business day) after such termination of this Agreement.

(f) Payment for Company Common Stock. On the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Offer, Purchaser shall (and Parent shall cause Purchaser to) accept for payment, and pay for, all shares of Company Common Stock that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer promptly (within the meaning of Section 14e-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act) after the expiration of the Offer (as it may be extended in accordance with Section 1.1(e)(ii)) (or, at Parent’s election, concurrently with the expiration of the Offer if all conditions to the Offer have been satisfied or waived) (such time of acceptance, the “Acceptance Time”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds and shares of Parent Common Stock necessary to pay for any shares of Company Common Stock that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer; provided, however, that without the prior written consent of the Company, Purchaser shall not accept for payment, or pay for, any shares of Company Common Stock if, as a result, Purchaser would acquire less than the shares of Company Common Stock necessary to satisfy the Minimum Condition. The consideration in the Offer payable in respect of each share of Company Common Stock validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer shall be paid promptly following the Acceptance Time net to the holder thereof in cash or shares of Parent Common Stock, as applicable, without interest and subject to reduction for any applicable withholding Taxes payable in respect thereof.

(g) Schedule TO; Offer Documents; Form S-4.

(i) As soon as practicable on the date the Offer is first commenced (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act), Parent and Purchaser shall:

(A) prepare and file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, and including all exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Offer, which Schedule TO shall contain as an exhibit the Offer to Purchase and forms of the letter of transmittal and summary advertisement, if any, and other customary ancillary documents, in each case, in respect of the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”);

 

-5-


(B) deliver a copy of the Schedule TO, including all exhibits thereto, to the Company at its principal executive offices in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act;

(C) give telephonic notice of the information required by Rule 14d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act, and mail by means of first class mail a copy of the Schedule TO, to the NYSE in accordance with Rule 14d-3(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act; and

(D) subject to the Company’s compliance with Section 1.2, cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Company Common Stock as and to the extent required by the Exchange Act.

(ii) Concurrently with the filing of the Offer Documents, Parent shall file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 to register under the Securities Act the offer and sale of Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Offer and the Merger (the “Form S-4”). The Form S-4 will include a preliminary prospectus containing the information required under Rule 14d-4(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act.

(iii) The Offer Documents and the Form S-4 may include a description of the determinations, approvals and recommendations of the Company Board of Directors set forth in Section 1.2(a) that relate to the Offer, unless the Company Board of Directors has effected a Change of Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.3. Each of the Company and Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to (A) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (B) ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and Securities Act and (C) keep the Form S-4, if the Form S-4 is declared effective by the SEC, effective for so long as necessary to complete the Merger. The Company shall furnish in writing to Parent and Purchaser all information concerning the Company and the Company Subsidiaries that is required by applicable Law to be included in the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 so as to enable Parent and Purchaser to comply with their obligations under this Section 1.1(g). Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall cooperate in good faith to determine the information regarding the Company that is necessary to include in the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 in order to satisfy applicable Law. Each of Parent, Purchaser and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it or any of its Representatives for use in the Offer Documents or the Form S-4 if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect. Parent and Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents and the Form S-4, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC and to be disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Law, or by the SEC or its staff or the NYSE. Parent shall cause the Form S-4 to comply as to form in all material respects with requirements of applicable Law. Parent and Purchaser shall provide the Company and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents and the Form S-4 prior to the filing thereof with the SEC, and Parent and Purchaser shall give reasonable and good faith consideration to any reasonable

Parent shall also take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the Parent Common Stock in the Offer or the Merger, and the Company shall furnish all information concerning the Company and the holders of the Company Common Stock as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such actions.

ARTICLE III

TREATMENT OF SECURITIES

Section 3.1. Treatment of Capital Stock.

(a) Treatment of Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Parties or holders of any securities of the Company or of Purchaser, subject to Section 1.1(a) and any applicable withholding Tax, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Cancelled Shares, any Converted Shares and any Dissenting Shares) shall be automatically converted into the right to receive the Offer Consideration (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to the provisions of this Article III. From and after the Effective Time, all such shares of Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each applicable holder of such Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the applicable portion of Merger Consideration therefor upon the surrender of such shares of Company Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2, including the right to receive, pursuant to Section 3.6, cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Common Stock, if any, into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to this Section 3.1(a) (the “Fractional Share Consideration”), together with the amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 3.2(f).

 

-10-


(b) Certain Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that is owned or held in treasury by the Company or is owned by Parent or Purchaser shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor (collectively, the “Cancelled Shares”). At the Effective Time, any shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are owned by any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (other than Purchaser) or of the Company (the “Converted Shares”) shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Company (“Surviving Company Stock”) equal to the product of (i) (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock held by such Subsidiary immediately prior to the Effective Time, divided by (y) the number of shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) the total number of shares of Surviving Company Stock outstanding immediately after the consummation of the Merger.

(c) Treatment of Purchaser Shares. At the Effective Time, each issued and outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Purchaser (the “Purchaser Shares”) shall be automatically converted into and become one (1) fully paid and nonassessable share of Surviving Company Stock. From and after the Effective Time, all certificates representing Purchaser Shares shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of shares of Surviving Company Stock into which they were converted in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(d) Adjustment to Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration shall be adjusted appropriately, without duplication, to reflect the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Company Common Stock or Parent Common Stock, as applicable), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to the number of shares of Company Common Stock or shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 3.1(d) shall be construed to permit the Company or Parent to take any action with respect to its securities that is prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.

Section 3.2. Payment for Securities; Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as the exchange agent in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Agent”). The Exchange Agent shall also act as the agent for the Company Stockholders for the purpose of receiving and holding their Certificates and Book-Entry Shares and shall obtain no rights or interests in the shares represented thereby. At or immediately after the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent (i) evidence of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 3.1(a) in book-entry form equal to the aggregate Parent Common Stock portion of the Merger Consideration (excluding any Fractional Share Consideration) and (ii) cash in immediately available funds in an amount sufficient to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, including the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6, and any dividends or other distributions under Section 3.2(f) (such evidence of book-entry shares of Parent Common Stock and cash amounts, together with any dividends or other distributions with

 

-11-


respect thereto, the “Exchange Fund”), in each case, for the sole benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock; provided that no such deposits shall be required to be made with respect to any Dissenting Shares. In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient (other than as a result of payment of the Merger Consideration in accordance with this Agreement) to pay the aggregate cash portion of the Merger Consideration, including the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6 and any dividends or other distributions under Section 3.2(f), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the shortfall that is required to make such payment. Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make, delivery of the Merger Consideration, including payment of the Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6, and any amounts payable in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(f) out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement. The cash portion of the Exchange Fund shall be invested by the Exchange Agent as reasonably directed by Parent; provided, however, that any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated P-1 or A-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares pursuant to this Article III. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Parent.

(b) Procedures for Surrender.

(i) Company Common Stock Certificates. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) and whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 3.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration (A) a letter of transmittal, which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify and (B) instructions for effecting the surrender of the Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) in exchange for payment of the Merger Consideration into which such shares of Company Common Stock have been converted pursuant to Section 3.1, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(f). Upon surrender of a Certificate (or an affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such 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, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the

 

-12-


provisions of this Article III, including any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6, and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(f) for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate, and the Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) so surrendered shall be forthwith cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall accept such Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with normal exchange practices. If payment of the Merger Consideration is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition precedent of payment that (x) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and (y) the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not required to be paid.

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Any holder of or non-certificated Company Common Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) and whose shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 3.1 into the right to receive the Merger Consideration shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the Merger Consideration. In lieu thereof, each registered holder of one (1) or more Book-Entry Shares shall automatically upon the Effective Time be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to pay and deliver as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time the applicable Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, including any Fractional Share Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.6, and any amounts that such holder has the right to receive in respect of dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(f) for each share of Company Common Stock formerly represented by such Book-Entry Share, and the Book-Entry Share so exchanged shall be forthwith cancelled. Payment of the Merger Consideration with respect to Book-Entry Shares shall only be made to the person in whose name such Book-Entry Shares are registered.

(iii) No Interest. No interest shall be paid or accrue on any portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon surrender of any Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.2(e)) or in respect of any Book-Entry Share.

(c) Transfer Books; No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of Company Common Stock on the records of the Company. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.2, each Certificate and Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Article III, except as otherwise provided in Section 3.3. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Parent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Agreement.

 

-13-


(d) Termination of Exchange Fund; No Liability. At any time following the first (1st) anniversary of the Effective Time, Parent shall be entitled to require the Exchange Agent to deliver to it any funds (including any interest received with respect thereto) remaining in the Exchange Fund that have not been disbursed, or for which disbursement is pending subject only to the Exchange Agent’s routine administrative procedures, to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and thereafter such holders shall be entitled to look only to Parent (subject to abandoned property, escheat or similar Laws) as general creditors thereof with respect to the applicable Merger Consideration, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(f), payable upon due surrender of their Certificates (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof in accordance with Section 3.2(e)) or Book-Entry Shares and compliance with the procedures in Section 3.2(b), without any interest thereon. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parent, the Company, Purchaser, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share for any Merger Consideration or other amounts delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(e) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond, the applicable Merger Consideration payable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 3.1, including any amount payable in respect of Fractional Share Consideration in accordance with Section 3.6, and any dividends or other distributions on shares of Parent Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.2(f).

(f) Dividends or Distributions with Respect to Parent Common Stock. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable hereunder, and all such dividends and other distributions shall be paid by Parent to the Exchange Agent and shall be included in the Exchange Fund, in each case until the surrender of such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Agreement. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate (or affidavit of loss in lieu thereof and, if required by Parent, an indemnity bond) or Book-Entry Share there shall be paid to the holder thereof, without interest, (i) the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and with a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Parent Common Stock.

Section 3.3. Dissenter’s Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, shares of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Cancelled Shares) and held by a holder who has not tendered in the Offer and has properly exercised appraisal rights in respect of such shares in accordance with Section 262

 

-14-


of the DGCL (such shares being referred to collectively as the “Dissenting Shares” until such time as such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s appraisal rights under Delaware Law with respect to such shares) shall not be converted into a right to receive the Merger Consideration but instead shall be entitled to payment for such shares determined in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL; provided, however, that if, after the Effective Time, such holder fails to perfect, withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262 of the DGCL, such shares of Company Common Stock shall be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.1(a), without interest thereon, upon surrender of such Certificate formerly representing such share or transfer of such Book-Entry Shares, as the case may be.

(b) The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent of any demands received by the Company for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock, of any withdrawals of such demands and of any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company relating to Section 262 of the DGCL, and Parent shall have the opportunity to participate in and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to, or settle or compromise or offer to settle or compromise, any such demand, or agree to do any of the foregoing.

Section 3.4. Treatment of Company Equity Awards.

(a) At the Effective Time, each Company Option (whether vested or unvested) held by any former employee or former service provider (other than a former non-employee director) of the Company shall, in each case, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company Option becoming entitled to receive within five (5) business days, in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, an amount in cash equal to (i) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the excess (if any) of the Per Share Cash Equivalent Consideration over the per share exercise price applicable to the Company Option.

(b) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than a Company Option covered by Section 3.4(a) or Section 3.4(c)) shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, cease to represent a right to acquire shares of Company Common Stock and shall be assumed and converted automatically into an option to purchase the number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted Option”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, by (y) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted Option shall have an exercise price per share of Parent Common Stock equal to (i) the per share exercise price for shares of Company Common Stock subject to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each Adjusted Option shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Option under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms.

 

-15-


(c) At the Effective Time, each Company Equity Award that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that is held by a current or former non-employee director of the Company will vest as of the Effective Time and shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be cancelled, with the holder of such Company Equity Award becoming entitled to receive within five (5) business days (or such later date required by Section 409A of the Code), in full satisfaction of the rights of such holder with respect thereto, the Merger Consideration in respect of each share of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Equity Award immediately prior to the Effective Time, with the Cash Consideration portion of the Merger Consideration payable with respect to any Company Option reduced by the aggregate per share exercise price applicable to such Company Option.

(d) At the Effective Time, each Company RSU (other than any Company RSU covered by Section 3.4(c)) and each Company PSU that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder thereof, be assumed and converted automatically into a restricted stock unit or performance share unit, as applicable, with respect to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock (each, an “Adjusted RSU”) equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the total number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Company RSU or Company PSU, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded up to the nearest whole share. Each Adjusted RSU shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company RSU or Company PSU, as applicable, under the applicable Company Equity Plan and the agreements evidencing grants thereunder, including vesting terms.

(e) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall take all actions with respect to the Company ESPP that are necessary to provide that: (i) with respect to any offering periods in effect as of the date hereof (the “Current ESPP Offering Periods”), no employee who is not a participant in the Company ESPP as of the date hereof may become a participant in the Company ESPP; (ii) subject to the consummation of the Merger, the Company ESPP shall terminate effective immediately prior to the Effective Time; (iii) if the Current ESPP Offering Periods terminate prior to the Effective Time, then the Company ESPP shall be suspended and no new offering period shall be commenced under the Company ESPP prior to the termination of this Agreement; and (iv) if any Current ESPP Offering Period is still in effect at the Effective Time, then the last day of such Current ESPP Offering Period shall be accelerated to a date before the Closing Date as specified by the Company Board of Directors or its designated committee in accordance with Section 19 of the Company ESPP.

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall pass resolutions as are necessary for the treatment of the Company Equity Awards and the Company ESPP as contemplated by this Section 3.4.

Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement or statements for so long as Adjusted Options and Adjusted RSUs remain outstanding.

Section 3.5. Withholding. Each of the Company, Parent, Purchaser, the Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement any amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted with respect to such payment under the Code, or any other applicable Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, and timely remitted to the appropriate Governmental Entity, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made.

Section 3.6. Fractional Shares. No certificate or scrip representing fractional shares of Parent Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Parent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of Company Common Stock converted pursuant to the Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all shares represented by the Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash, without interest, in an amount equal to such fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock multiplied by the Parent Trading Price, rounded to the nearest cent.

(a) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Acceptance Time or the date, if any, on which this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, the Company agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Company’s controlled affiliates not to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including by way of providing information or taking any other action) any inquiry, proposal or offer, or the making, submission or announcement of any inquiry, proposal or offer which constitutes or would be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary in connection with an actual or potential Acquisition Proposal, (iii) adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, or publicly propose to adopt, approve, endorse or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify, or otherwise propose to withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent, the Company Board Recommendation, or commit or agree to take any such action, (v) if an Acquisition Proposal has been publicly disclosed, fail to publicly recommend against any such Acquisition Proposal within ten (10) business days after the public disclosure of such Acquisition Proposal (or subsequently withdraw, change, amend, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Parent, such rejection of such Acquisition Proposal) and reaffirm the Company Board Recommendation within such ten (10) business day period (or, with respect to any material amendments, revisions or changes to the terms of any such previously publicly disclosed Acquisition Proposal that are publicly disclosed within the last five (5) business days prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the Offer, fail to take the actions referred to in this clause (v), with references to the applicable ten (10) business day period being replaced with three (3) business days), (vi) fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Schedule 14D-9, (vii) approve, or authorize, or cause or permit the Company or any Company Subsidiary to enter into, any merger agreement, acquisition agreement, reorganization agreement, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or similar agreement or document relating to, or any other agreement or commitment providing for, any Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement entered into in accordance with this Section 6.3) (a “Company Acquisition Agreement”) or (viii) commit or agree to do any of the foregoing (any act described in clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii) and (viii) (to the extent related to the foregoing clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) or (vii)), a “Change of

 

-55-


Recommendation”). The Company shall, and shall cause the Company’s controlled affiliates to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any persons (or provision of any nonpublic information to any persons) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. Promptly after the date hereof (and in any event within two (2) business days following the date hereof), the Company shall (A) request in writing that each person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal promptly destroy or return to the Company all nonpublic information heretofore furnished by the Company or any of its Representatives to such person or any of its Representatives in accordance with the terms of such confidentiality agreement and (B) terminate access to any physical or electronic data rooms relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal by any such person. The Company shall enforce, and not waive, terminate or modify without Parent’s prior written consent, any confidentiality, standstill or similar provision in any confidentiality, standstill or other agreement; provided that, if the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel that the failure to waive a particular standstill provision would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, the Company may, with prior written notice to Parent, waive such standstill solely to the extent necessary to permit the applicable person (if it has not been solicited in violation of this Section 6.3) to make, on a confidential basis to the Company Board of Directors, an Acquisition Proposal, conditioned upon such person agreeing to disclosure of such Acquisition Proposal to Parent, in each case as contemplated by this Section 6.3. For purposes of this Section 6.3, the term “person” means any Person or “group,” as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than, with respect to the Company, Parent or any Parent Subsidiary or any of their Representatives. For the avoidance of doubt, any violation of the restrictions set forth in this Section 6.3 by any of the Company’s controlled affiliates or any of their respective Representatives shall be a breach of this Section 6.3 by the Company. Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(a), if the Company receives, prior to the Acceptance Time, a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.3, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and the Company’s Representatives may contact the Person or any of its Representatives who has made such Acquisition Proposal solely to clarify the terms of such Acquisition Proposal so that the Company may inform itself about such Acquisition Proposal. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any notices required to be made to Parent pursuant to this Section 6.3 shall not, in and of themselves, be deemed to be a Change of Recommendation.

(b) Notwithstanding the limitations set forth in Section 6.3(a), if the Company receives, prior to the Acceptance Time, a bona fide written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.3, which the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith (i) after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors constitutes a Superior Proposal or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Superior Proposal and (ii) after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, then the Company may take the following actions: (x) furnish nonpublic information with respect to the Company to the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives), if, and only if, prior to so furnishing such information, the Company

 

-56-


receives from such person an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and the Company also provides Parent, prior to or substantially concurrently with the time such information is provided or made available to such person, any non-public information furnished to such other person that was not previously furnished to Parent, (y) engage in discussions or negotiations with such person with respect to such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives), and (z) if and limited solely to the extent required in order to comply with the Company’s obligations under an applicable Antitrust Law (with respect to which the failure to comply would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company), make filings under such Antitrust Law required to be made by the Company in response to such Acquisition Proposal.

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours) notify Parent of any receipt by any director or officer of the Company or by any of the Company’s controlled affiliates or its or their respective Representatives of any Acquisition Proposal or any proposals or inquiries that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, or any inquiry or request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any Company Subsidiary by any person who has made or could reasonably be expected to make any Acquisition Proposal (or of becoming aware of any of its or their other affiliates having received any such Acquisition Proposal, proposal, inquiry or request). Such notice shall indicate the identity of the person making the Acquisition Proposal, inquiry or request, and the material terms and conditions of any such proposal or offer or the nature of the information requested pursuant to such inquiry or request, including unredacted copies of all written requests, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements received by the Company or, if such Acquisition Proposal is not in writing, a reasonably detailed written description of the material terms and conditions thereof. Without limiting the Company’s other obligations under this Section 6.3, the Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt and timely basis of the status and material terms (including any amendments or proposed amendments to such material terms) of any such Acquisition Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal and keep Parent reasonably informed on a prompt and timely basis as to the nature of any information requested of the Company with respect thereto. Without limiting the Company’s other obligations under this Section 6.3, the Company shall promptly provide (and in any event within the earlier of (i) forty-eight (48) hours and (ii) one (1) business day) to Parent any material nonpublic information concerning the Company provided to any other person in connection with any Acquisition Proposal that was not previously provided to Parent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall promptly (and in any event within twenty-four (24) hours after such determination) inform Parent in writing if the Company determines to begin providing information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 6.3(b). Unless this Agreement has been validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, the Company shall not take any action to exempt any person other than Parent or Purchaser from the restrictions on “business combinations” contained in any applicable Takeover Statute or in the Company Governing Documents, or otherwise cause such restrictions not to apply. The Company agrees that it will not, directly or indirectly, enter into any agreement with any person which directly or indirectly prohibits the Company from providing any information to Parent in accordance with, or otherwise complying with, this Section 6.3.

 

-57-


(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.3 to the contrary, but subject to Section 6.3(e), at any time prior to the Acceptance Time, the Company Board of Directors may (i) make a Change of Recommendation (only of the type contemplated by Section 6.3(a)(iv) or Section 6.3(a)(vi)) in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law or (ii) make a Change of Recommendation and cause the Company to terminate this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.1(g) in order to enter into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a breach of this Section 6.3), which the Company Board of Directors determines in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors is a Superior Proposal, but only if the Company Board of Directors has determined in good faith after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to be a breach of the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall enter into any Company Acquisition Agreement unless this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 9.1(g). “Intervening Event” means any event, change or development first occurring or arising after the date hereof that is material to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) and was not known by or reasonably foreseeable to the Company Board of Directors as of the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall the following events, changes or developments constitute an Intervening Event: (A) the receipt, existence or terms of an Acquisition Proposal or any matter relating thereto or consequence thereof or (B) changes in the market price or trading volume of the Class A Common Stock, the Parent Common Stock or any other securities of the Company, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries, or any change in credit rating or the fact that the Company meets or exceeds (or that Parent fails to meet or exceed) internal or published estimates, projections, forecasts or predictions for any period.

(e) Prior to the Company taking any action permitted (i) under Section 6.3(d)(i), the Company shall provide Parent with four (4) business days’ prior written notice advising Parent it intends to effect a Change of Recommendation and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor, and during such four (4) business day period, the Company shall cause its Representatives (including its executive officers) to be available to negotiate in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that would obviate the need to effect a Change of Recommendation and at the end of such four (4) business day period the Company Board of Directors again makes the determination under Section 6.3(d)(i) (after in good faith taking into account any amendments proposed by Parent) or (ii) under Section 6.3(d)(ii), the Company shall provide Parent with four (4) business days’ prior written notice advising Parent that the Company Board of Directors intends to take such action and specifying the material terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal, including a copy of any proposed definitive documentation, and during such four (4) business day period, the Company shall cause its Representatives (including its executive officers) to be available to negotiate in good faith (to the extent Parent desires to negotiate) any proposal by Parent to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that such Acquisition Proposal would no longer constitute a Superior Proposal and at the end of such four (4) business day period the Company Board of Directors again makes the determination under Section 6.3(d)(ii) (after in good faith taking into account the amendments proposed by Parent). With respect to Section 6.3(e)(ii), if there are any material amendments, revisions or changes to the terms of any such Superior Proposal (including any revision to the amount, form or mix of consideration the Company Stockholders would receive as a result of the Superior Proposal), the Company shall comply again with Section 6.3(e)(ii) with references to the applicable four (4) business day period being replaced by two (2) business days.

 

-58-


(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board of Directors from (i) disclosing to the Company Stockholders a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication to the Company Stockholders pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act, or any similar statement in response to any publicly disclosed Acquisition Proposal; provided that any “stop, look and listen” statement, or any such similar statement, also includes an express reaffirmation of the Company Board Recommendation. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.3(f) shall not permit the Company Board of Directors to make (or otherwise modify the definition of) a Change of Recommendation except to the extent expressly permitted by Section 6.3(d) and Section 6.3(e).

Section 7.2. Reasonable Best Efforts.

(b) Each of Parent and the Company shall, in connection with and without limiting the efforts referenced in Section 7.2(a) to obtain all waiting period expirations or terminations, consents, clearances, waivers, licenses, orders, registrations, approvals, permits, and authorizations for the Transactions under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, (i) cooperate in all respects and consult with each other in connection with any filing or submission and in connection with any investigation or other inquiry, including any proceeding initiated by a private party, including by allowing the other Party to have a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and comment on drafts of filings and submissions and reasonably considering in good faith comments of the other party, (ii) promptly inform the other Party of any communication received by such Party from, or given by such Party to, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice (the “DOJ”), the Federal Trade Commission (the “FTC”) or any other Governmental Entity, by promptly providing copies to the other Party of any such written communications, and of any material communication received or given in connection with any proceeding by a private party, in each case regarding any of the Transactions and (iii) permit the other Party to review in advance any communication that it gives to, and consult with each other in advance of any meeting, substantive telephone call or conference with, the DOJ, the FTC or any other Governmental Entity, or, in connection with any proceeding by a private party, with any other Person, and to the extent permitted by the DOJ, the FTC or other applicable Governmental Entity or other Person, give the other Party the opportunity to attend and participate in any in-person meetings, substantive telephone calls or conferences with the DOJ, the FTC or other Governmental Entity or other Person; provided, however, that materials required to be provided pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i)-(iii) may be redacted (A) to remove references concerning the valuation of Parent, Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (B) as necessary to comply with contractual arrangements and (C) as necessary to address reasonable privilege or confidentiality concerns; provided, further, that each of Parent and the Company may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other under this Section 7.2(b) as “Antitrust Counsel Only Material.”

(c) In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of the Parties shall give any notices to third parties required under Contracts, and each of the Parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any Contractual third party consents that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of Parent, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any consent or other similar fee, payment or consideration, make any other concession or provide any additional security (including a guaranty), to obtain such third party consents (except, in the case of the Company, if requested by Parent and either (a) reimbursed or indemnified for by Parent or (b) subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Time).

Section 7.3. Publicity. So long as this Agreement is in effect, neither the Company nor Parent, nor any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement or disclosure with respect to the Offer, the Merger, the other Transactions or this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless such Party determines, after consultation with outside counsel, that it is required by applicable Law or by any listing agreement with or the listing rules of a national securities exchange or trading market to issue or cause the publication of such press release or other public announcement or disclosure with respect to the Offer, the Merger, the other Transactions or this Agreement, in which event such Party shall endeavor, on a basis reasonable under the circumstances, to provide a meaningful opportunity to the other Party to review and comment upon such press release or other announcement or disclosure in advance and shall give due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto; provided, however, that (a) neither Party shall be required by this Section 7.3 to provide any such review or comment to the other in connection with the Company’s receipt (and the existence of) an Acquisition Proposal or a Change of Recommendation and matters directly related thereto and (b) the Parties shall not be required by this Section 7.3 to provide any such review or comment to the other Party to the extent such release, announcement or disclosure relates to any dispute between the Parties relating to this Agreement; provided, further, that each Party and their respective Subsidiaries and Representatives may make statements that are consistent with previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Parent or the Company in compliance with this Section 7.3.

Section 7.4. D&O Insurance and Indemnification.

(a) For not less than six (6) years from and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, indemnify and hold harmless all past and present directors and officers of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses prior to the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Indemnified Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Governing Documents; provided that such Indemnified Party agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final, nonappealable judgment that such Indemnified Party is not ultimately entitled), judgments, fines,

 

-62-


losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, investigation, suit or proceeding in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions), whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, in connection with such Persons serving as an officer, director, employee or other fiduciary of the Company or any Company Subsidiary or of any other Person if such service was at the request or for the benefit of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law and the Company Governing Documents or the organizational documents of the applicable Company Subsidiary (as applicable) or any indemnification agreements with such persons in existence on the date of this Agreement and provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement. The Parties agree that all rights to elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses for acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, now existing in favor of the Indemnified Parties as provided in their respective certificate of incorporation or bylaws (or comparable organizational documents) or in any indemnification agreement in existence on the date of this Agreement and provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Indemnified Party notifies the Surviving Company on or prior to the sixth anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person intends in good faith to seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 7.4, the provisions of this Section 7.4 shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

(b) For six (6) years after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause to be maintained in effect the provisions in (i) the Company Governing Documents and (ii) any indemnification agreement of the Company or a Company Subsidiary with any Indemnified Party in existence on the date of this Agreement and provided to Parent prior to the date of this Agreement, except to the extent such agreement provides for an earlier termination, in each case, regarding elimination of liability, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are in existence on the date hereof, and no such provision shall be amended, modified or repealed in any manner that would adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions).

(c) At or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase a six (6)-year prepaid “tail” policy on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms substantially equivalent to the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance maintained by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries with respect to matters arising at or prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Company shall not commit or spend on such “tail” policy, in the aggregate, more than two hundred and fifty percent (250%) of the last aggregate annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if the cost of such

 

-63-


“tail” policy would otherwise exceed the Base Amount, the Company shall be permitted to purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Base Amount. The Company shall in good faith cooperate with Parent prior to the Acceptance Time with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policy, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options.

(d) In the event Parent or the Surviving Company or any of their respective 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 all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and, in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Company, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.4. The rights and obligations under this Section 7.4 shall survive consummation of the Offer and the Merger and shall not be terminated or amended in a manner that is adverse to any Indemnified Party without the written consent of such Indemnified Party. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Indemnified Parties shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 7.4, each of whom may enforce the provisions thereof.

Section 7.5. Takeover Statutes. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Tender and Support Agreements) and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Tender and Support Agreements) may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute on the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions. No Change of Recommendation shall change, or be deemed to change, or permit the Company or the Company Board of Directors to change, in any manner or respect the approval of the Company Board of Directors for purposes of causing any Takeover Statute to be inapplicable to the Merger or any of the other Transactions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Tender and Support Agreements).

Section 7.6. Obligations of Purchaser. Parent shall take all action necessary to cause Purchaser and the Surviving Company to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Section 7.7. Employee Matters.

(a) Parent shall assume, honor and fulfill all of the Company Benefit Plans in accordance with their terms as in effect immediately prior to the date hereof or as subsequently amended or terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of such Company Benefit Plans and this Agreement. Effective as of the Effective Time and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, Parent shall provide to each employee of the Company and Company Subsidiary who continues to be employed by Parent or any Subsidiary thereof (the “Continuing Employees”), (i) at least the same wage rate or base salary as in effect for such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) employee benefits (including cash bonus opportunities,

 

-64-


retirement, health and welfare benefits, but excluding equity incentive compensation) that are, in the aggregate, in Parent’s discretion, either (A) no less favorable to such Continuing Employee than those in effect for such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing or (B) no less favorable than those in effect for similarly situated employees of Parent and its Subsidiaries.

(b) For all purposes (including purposes of vesting, eligibility to participate and level of benefits) under the employee benefit plans of the Parent and its Subsidiaries providing benefits to any Continuing Employees after the Effective Time (the “New Plans”), each Continuing Employee shall, subject to applicable law and applicable tax qualification requirements, be credited with his or her years of service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors before the Effective Time; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent that its application would result in a duplication of benefits. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Continuing Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan is of the same type as the Company Benefit Plan in which such Continuing Employee participated immediately before the Effective Time (such plans, collectively, the “Old Plans”), and (ii) (A) for purposes of each New Plan providing medical, dental, pharmaceutical or vision benefits to any Continuing Employee, Parent or its applicable Subsidiary shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all pre-existing condition exclusions and actively-at-work requirements of such New Plan to be waived for such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents and (B) Parent and its applicable Subsidiary shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any eligible expenses incurred by such Continuing Employee and his or her covered dependents during the portion of the plan year of the Old Plan ending on the date such employee’s participation in the corresponding New Plan begins to be taken into account under such New Plan for purposes of satisfying all deductible, coinsurance and maximum out-of-pocket requirements applicable to such employee and his or her covered dependents for the applicable plan year as if such amounts had been paid in accordance with such New Plan.

(c) If, at least ten (10) business days prior to the Effective Time, Parent provides written notice to the Company directing the Company to terminate its 401(k) plan(s), the Company shall terminate any and all 401(k) plans effective as of the day immediately preceding the day on which the Effective Time occurs (the “401(k) Termination Date”). In the event that Parent requests that such 401(k) plan(s) be terminated, the Company shall provide Parent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Parent that such 401(k) plan(s) have been terminated pursuant to resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors at least two (2) business days prior to the day on which the Effective Time occurs; provided that prior to terminating the Company’s 401(k) plan, the Company shall provide Parent with the form and substance of any applicable resolutions for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Company 401(k) plan is terminated pursuant to this Section 7.7(c), then as soon as practicable following the 401(k) Termination Date, Parent shall permit all Continuing Employees who were eligible to participate in the Company 401(k) plan immediately prior to the 401(k) Termination Date to participate in Parent’s 401(k) plan, and shall permit each such Continuing Employee to elect to transfer his or her account balance when distributed from the terminated Company 401(k) plan, including any outstanding participant loans, to Parent’s 401(k) plan, except to the extent accepting such transfers would adversely affect the tax-qualified status of Parent’s 401(k) plan or as may be prohibited by Parent’s 401(k) plan.

 

-65-


(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon any Continuing Employee any right to continue in the employ or service of Parent or any affiliate of Parent, or shall interfere with or restrict in any way the rights of Parent or any affiliate of Parent, which rights are hereby expressly reserved, to discharge or terminate the services of any Continuing Employee at any time for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in a written agreement between Parent, the Company or any affiliate of Parent and the Continuing Employee or any severance, benefit or other applicable plan or program covering such Continuing Employee. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Section 7.7 shall (i) be deemed or construed to be an amendment or other modification of any Company Benefit Plan or employee benefit plan of Parent or Purchaser or (ii) create any third party rights in any current or former service provider of the Company or its affiliates (or any beneficiaries or dependents thereof).

Section 7.8. Rule 16b-3. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and Parent shall, as applicable, take all such steps as may be reasonably necessary or advisable hereto to cause any dispositions of Company equity securities (including derivative securities) and acquisitions of Parent equity securities pursuant to the Transactions by each individual who is a director or officer of the Company subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act with respect to the Company to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.9. Stockholder Litigation. The Company shall provide Parent prompt notice of any litigation brought by any stockholder of the Company against the Company, any of its Subsidiaries and/or any of their respective directors or officers relating to the Offer, the Merger and any of the other Transactions or this Agreement, and shall keep Parent informed on a prompt and timely basis with respect to the status thereof. The Company shall give Parent the opportunity to participate (at Parent’s expense) in the defense or settlement of any such litigation and reasonably cooperate with Parent in conducting the defense or settlement of such litigation, and no such settlement shall be agreed without Parent’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that Parent shall not be obligated to consent to any settlement which does not include a full release of Parent and its affiliates or which imposes an injunction or other equitable relief after the Effective Time upon Parent or any of its affiliates. In the event of, and to the extent of, any conflict or overlap between the provisions of this Section 7.9 and Section 6.1 or Section 7.2, the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall control.

Section 7.10. Delisting. Each of the Parties agrees to cooperate with the other Parties in taking, or causing to be taken, all actions necessary to delist the Class A Common Stock from the NYSE and terminate its registration under the Exchange Act; provided that such delisting and termination shall not be effective until after the Effective Time.

Section 7.11. Director Resignations. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be delivered to Parent resignations executed by each director of the Company in office as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and effective upon the Effective Time.

 

-66-


Section 7.12. Stock Exchange Listing. Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in the Offer and the Merger to be approved for listing on the NYSE, subject to official notice of issuance.

Section 7.13. 14d-10 Matters. The Parties acknowledge that certain payments have been made or are to be made and certain benefits have been granted or are to be granted according to employment compensation, severance and other employee benefit plans of the Company, including the Company Benefit Plans (collectively, the “Arrangements”), to certain holders of Company Common Stock and holders of Company Equity Awards. The Compensation Committee of the Company Board of Directors (the “Company Compensation Committee”) (a) at a meeting to be held prior to the Acceptance Time, has duly adopted or will duly adopt resolutions approving as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(1) under the Exchange Act (i) each Arrangement presented to the Company Compensation Committee on or prior to the date hereof, (ii) the treatment of the Company Equity Awards, as applicable, in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and (iii) the terms of Section 7.4 and Section 7.7 and (b) will take all other actions necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor under Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act with respect to the foregoing arrangements. The Company represents and warrants that each member of the Company Compensation Committee is an “independent director” in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act.

Section 7.14. Financing Cooperation. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their Representatives to, provide all customary cooperation and all customary financial information, in each case that is reasonably requested by Parent or Purchaser in connection with any financing (the “Financing”) obtained by Parent or Purchaser for the purpose of financing the transactions contemplated hereby or any transaction undertaken in connection therewith (it being understood that the receipt of any such financing is not a condition to the Merger); provided, however, that (a) no such cooperation shall be required to the extent it would (i) unreasonably disrupt the conduct of the Company’s business, (ii) require the Company or the Company Subsidiaries to incur any fees, expenses or other liability prior to the Acceptance Time for which it is not promptly reimbursed or simultaneously indemnified, (iii) be reasonably expected to cause any director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary to incur any material personal liability, (iv) require the Company to waive or amend any terms of this Agreement or (v) require the Company to provide any information that is prohibited or restricted by applicable Law or is legally privileged (provided, however, that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of Law or to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of such legal privilege); and (b) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not be required to execute any credit or security documentation or any other definitive agreement or provide any indemnity prior to the Acceptance Time.

(a) In the event of the valid termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party or Parties specifying the provision hereof pursuant to which such termination is made, and this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and there shall be no liability on the part of Parent, Purchaser or the Company, except that the Confidentiality Agreement, this Section 9.2 and Section 10.3 through Section 10.12 shall survive such termination; provided that nothing herein shall relieve any Party from liability for fraud or willful breach of this Agreement prior to such termination. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful breach” shall mean a deliberate action taken or deliberate failure to act that the breaching party intentionally takes (or fails to take) and actually knows would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a material breach of this Agreement.

(b) Termination Fee.

(i) If (A) Parent or the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to (I) Section 9.1(d)(B) (1) solely due to the failure to satisfy the Minimum Condition prior to such termination or (2) at a time when Parent would be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to (x) Section 9.1(c)(ii)(A) due to a breach, failure to perform or violation described in such Section that occurred following the making of such Acquisition Proposal or (y) Section 9.1(e)(ii) or (II) Section 9.1(d)(A), (B) after the date hereof and prior to the date of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is publicly disclosed (whether by the Company or a third party) and not publicly withdrawn at least three (3) business days prior to such termination, and (C) within twelve (12) months of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated or a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal is entered into, on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) the date such Acquisition Proposal is consummated and (y) the date of entry of such definitive agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent a fee of $187,000,000 in cash (the “Termination Fee”).

(ii) If (A) after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, an Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company Board of Directors or the Company’s management or becomes publicly disclosed (whether by the Company or a third party) and not publicly withdrawn at least three (3) business days prior to such termination, (B) the Company shall have breached, failed to perform or violated its covenants or agreements under this Agreement such that Parent has a right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to (I) Section 9.1(c)(ii)(A) due to such breach, failure to perform or violation (provided that such breach, failure to perform or violation occurred following the making of such Acquisition Proposal) or (II) Section 9.1(e)(ii), (C) Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii)(A) or Section 9.1(e)(ii) and (D) within twelve (12) months of such termination, an Acquisition Proposal is subsequently consummated or a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal is entered into, on or prior to the date that is the earlier of (x) the date such Acquisition Proposal is consummated and (y) the date of entry of such definitive agreement, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee.

(iii) If Parent terminates this Agreement pursuant to (A) Section 9.1(e)(i) or (B) Section 9.1(e)(ii) (in the case of this clause (B) if the Company has materially and willfully breached Section 6.3), within two (2) business days after such termination, the Company shall pay to Parent the Termination Fee.

(iv) If the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(g), substantially concurrently with or prior to (and as a condition to) such termination, the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to Parent the Termination Fee.

(v) In the event any amount is payable by the Company pursuant to the preceding clauses (i), (ii) or (iii), such amount shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent. Parent shall promptly provide wire transfer instructions in writing to the Company upon request (and in any event with sufficient time to allow the Company to pay or cause to be paid to Parent any Termination Fee payable hereunder within the time periods required by this Section 9.2(b)). For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay the Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

(vi) Solely for purposes of Section 9.2(b)(i) and Section 9.2(b)(ii), the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in Annex A, except that all references to “fifteen percent (15%)” and “eighty-five percent (85%)” therein shall be deemed to be references to “fifty percent (50%).”

All references herein to the Subsidiaries of a Person shall be deemed to include all direct and indirect Subsidiaries of such Person unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires. The Parties agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

Section 10.6. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed manually or by facsimile or by other electronic transmission by the Parties, in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when a counterpart hereof shall have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic transmission in .PDF format or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 10.7. Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries.

(a) This Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter) and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all other prior agreements (except that the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed amended hereby so that until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, Parent and Purchaser shall be permitted to take the actions contemplated by this Agreement) and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties or any of them with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

(b) Except as provided in Section 7.4 and Section 10.13, nothing in this Agreement (including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter) or in the Confidentiality Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or thereunder.

Section 10.8. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Offer and the Merger is not affected in any manner adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the Offer and the Merger are fulfilled to the extent possible.

Section 10.9. Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflicts of laws principles that would result in the application of the Law of any other state.

Each of the Parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each Party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 10.9(b) in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.4. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 10.10. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE OFFER, THE MERGER OR THE OTHER TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section 10.12. Enforcement; Remedies.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a Party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such Party, and the exercise by a Party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(b) The Parties agree that irreparable injury will occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. It is agreed that prior to the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX, each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or remedy any breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement by any other Party, to a decree or order of specific performance specifically enforcing the terms and provisions of this Agreement and to any further equitable relief.

(c) The Parties’ rights in this Section 10.12 are an integral part of the Transactions and each Party hereby waives any objections to any remedy referred to in this Section 10.12 (including any objection on the basis that there is an adequate remedy at Law or that an award of such remedy is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at Law or equity). For the avoidance of doubt, each Party agrees that there is not an adequate remedy at Law for a breach of this Agreement by any Party. In the event any Party seeks any remedy referred to in this Section 10.12, such Party shall not be required to obtain, furnish, post or provide any bond or other security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any such remedy.

1.1. Agreement to Tender. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, each Stockholder agrees to validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares (other than (x) Company Options that are not exercised during the term of this Agreement and (y) Company RSUs that do not vest during the term of this Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below) except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly after the Tender Notice (as defined below), but in no event later than the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration of the Offer, each Stockholder shall validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances, including by delivering pursuant to the terms of the Offer (a) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (b) a certificate representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated or, in the case of a book-entry share of any uncertificated Subject Shares, written instructions to such Stockholder’s broker, dealer or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, including a reference to this Agreement, and requesting delivery of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) and (c) all other documents or instruments reasonably required to be delivered by other Company stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Offer (it being understood that this sentence shall not apply to (x) Company Options that are not exercised during the term of this Agreement and (y) Company RSUs that do not vest during the term of this Agreement). Each Stockholder agrees that, once any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2. In the event this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly return to the Stockholder all Subject Shares such Stockholder tendered in the Offer. At all times commencing with the date hereof and continuing until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder shall not tender any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent, Purchaser or any other Subsidiary of Parent. For purposes hereof, a “Tender Notice” means a written notice, delivered by Parent or Purchaser to each Stockholder on the date of the expiration of the Offer (as soon as practicable following 1:00 p.m. New York City time on such expiration date but in no event later than one hour prior to the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration), specifying that (i) all of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or waived by Purchaser (to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement) (it being understood that such written notice can only be validly delivered by Parent or Purchaser to the extent that all of the conditions to the Offer have, in fact, been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or otherwise waived by Purchaser (to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement)); provided that, for purposes of the Tender Notice only, the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition shall be tested assuming that all shares of Company Common Stock to be tendered pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement are tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer and that the consummation of the Offer occurs contemporaneously with the delivery of the Tender Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.1 shall obligate Parent or Purchaser to deliver a Tender Notice.

 

B-1-2


1.2. Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, if Parent provides at least three (3) business days written notice to such Stockholder that it has terminated, or elects not to use, the proxy granted in Section 1.3, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case, to the fullest extent that such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of any Stockholder contained in this Agreement, or (B) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or Annex C of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied on or before the Outside Date; (ii) against any change in the Company Board of Directors that is not recommended by the Company Board of Directors; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal.

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing commitments in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 apply to any Subject Shares held by any trust, limited partnership or other entity directly or indirectly holding Subject Shares over which the applicable Stockholder exercises direct or indirect voting control.

1.3. Irrevocable Proxy. Solely with respect to the matters described in Section 1.2, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as its attorney and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of such Stockholders’ voting rights with respect to all such Stockholders’ Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of Section 212 of the DGCL) to vote, and to execute written consents with respect to, all such Stockholders’ Subject Shares solely on the matters described in Section 1.2, and in accordance therewith. Each Stockholder agrees to execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein.

ARTICLE IV

ADDITIONAL COVENANTS OF THE STOCKHOLDERS

Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that until the termination of this Agreement:

4.1. No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements.

(a) Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action that would have the effect of preventing, materially delaying or materially impairing such Stockholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or that would, or would reasonably be expected to, have the effect of preventing, materially delaying or materially impairing, the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Merger Agreement.

 

B-1-6


(b) Except as provided hereunder (which, for clarity, includes the tendering of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement), from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) create or permit to exist any Encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, (ii) transfer, sell, assign, gift, hedge, distribute, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by depositing, submitting or otherwise tendering any such Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer other than the Offer and, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any “Transfer” (for this purpose, as defined in the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the “Charter”)) or other action that would cause or result in the conversion of a share of Class B Common Stock into a share of Class A Common Stock pursuant to Section IV.D.3(a), (b) or (d) or (e) of the Charter), or enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”), any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or any right or interest therein (or consent to any of the foregoing), (iii) enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or any legal or beneficial interest therein, (iv) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or (v) deposit or permit the deposit of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares. Any action taken in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Stockholder may Transfer such Stockholder’s Subject Shares to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Charter), but solely if and to the extent that such Transfer would not result in the conversion under the Charter of such Subject Shares that are shares of Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock (any such Transfer and any Transfer as Parent may agree pursuant to Section 4.1(d) below, a “Permitted Transfer”), provided, that a Transfer described in this sentence shall be a Permitted Transfer only if (x) all of the representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to such Stockholder would be true and correct upon such Transfer and (y) the transferee of such Subject Shares, prior to the date of such Transfer, agrees in a signed writing satisfactory to Parent (acting reasonably) to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a “Stockholder” for all purposes of this Agreement. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in the Company shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by such Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall, subject to applicable Law, take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(c) Unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, such Stockholder agrees that it shall not, and shall cause each of its controlled affiliates not to, become a member of a “group” (as defined under Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) for the purpose of opposing or competing with or taking any actions inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Merger Agreement.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 4.1(b), such Stockholder may make Transfers of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares as Parent may agree in writing in its sole discretion.

 

B-1-7


4.2. No Exercise of Appraisal Rights. Such Stockholder forever and irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights or dissenters’ rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL or otherwise in respect of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares that may arise in connection with the Offer or the Merger.

4.3. Documentation and Information. Such Stockholder shall not make any public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law (provided that reasonable notice of any such disclosure will be provided to Parent, and such Stockholder will consider in good faith the reasonable comments of Parent with respect to such disclosure and otherwise cooperate with Parent in obtaining confidential treatment with respect to such disclosure). Such Stockholder consents to and hereby authorizes Parent and Purchaser to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or applicable securities exchange, and any press release or other disclosure document that Parent or Purchaser reasonably determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement, such Stockholder’s identity and ownership of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, the existence of this Agreement and the nature of such Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement, and such Stockholder acknowledges that Parent and Purchaser may, in Parent’s sole discretion, file this Agreement or a form hereof with the SEC or any other Governmental Entity or securities exchange. Such Stockholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and such Stockholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any information supplied by such Stockholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

4.4. Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, stock dividend, merger, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting a Stockholder’s Subject Shares, the terms of this Agreement shall apply to the resulting securities.

4.5. Waiver of Certain Actions. Each Stockholder hereby agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Purchaser, the Company, any of their respective affiliates or successors or any of their respective directors, managers or officers (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin or delay the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement (including any claim seeking to enjoin or delay the consummation of the Offer or the closing of the Merger) or (b) alleging a breach of any duty of the Company Board of Directors in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or hereby.

4.6. No Solicitation. Unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2 , each Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its controlled affiliates not to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer, or the making, submission or announcement of any inquiry, proposal or offer which

 

B-1-8


constitute or would be reasonably expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any negotiations regarding, or furnish to any person any nonpublic information regarding the Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with an actual or potential Acquisition Proposal, (iii) encourage or recommend any other holder of Company Common Stock to not tender shares of Company Common Stock into the Offer, (v) adopt, approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or enter into any letter of intent, support agreement or similar document, agreement, commitment or agreement in principle relating to or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal or (vi) agree to do any of the foregoing. Each Stockholder shall, and shall cause its controlled affiliates to, and shall cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease any and all existing solicitation, discussions or negotiations with any Person or groups (other than Parent, its Subsidiaries, and their respective Representatives acting on their behalf) with respect to any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal. For purposes of this Section 4.6, Acquisition Proposal shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Merger Agreement, but shall also include any Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares (other than a Permitted Transfer (disregarding Section 4.1(d) for this purpose)).

5.3. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by each party to this Agreement or, in the case of a waiver, by each party against whom the waiver is to be effective.

Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent and Purchaser will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon Parent or Purchaser, and the exercise by Parent or Purchaser of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.

(a) Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United

 

B-1-10


States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the agreements delivered in connection herewith or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agrees not to commence any such action or proceeding except in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (ii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, or, if (and only if) such court finds it lacks jurisdiction, the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Delaware, and any appellate court from any thereof, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such courts and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in such courts.

Each Stockholder irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 5.7(a) in the manner provided for notices in Section 5.1. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of Parent or Purchaser to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

(b) EACH STOCKHOLDER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY. EACH STOCKHOLDER CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF PARENT OR PURCHASER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE SUCH WAIVERS, (B) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS, (C) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY AND (D) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 5.7(b).

5.10. Parties in Interest.

B-1-11


5.11. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law, or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.

5.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement.

5.13. Interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and article, section, paragraph and schedule references are to the articles, sections, paragraphs and schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words describing the singular number shall include the plural and vice versa, words denoting either gender shall include both genders and words denoting natural persons shall include all Persons and vice versa. The phrases “the date of this Agreement,” “the date hereof,” “of even date herewith” and terms of similar import, shall be deemed to refer to the date set forth in the preamble to this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to a date or time shall be deemed to be such date or time in New York City, unless otherwise specified. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Person by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

5.14. Further Assurances. Each Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.15. Capacity as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not, if applicable, in such Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company.

B-1-12


5.16. Stockholder Obligation Several and Not Joint. The obligations of each Stockholder hereunder shall be several and not joint, and no Stockholder shall be liable for any breach of the terms of this Agreement by any other Stockholder.

This TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of March 20, 2018, is entered into by and among salesforce.com, inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Malbec Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Purchaser”), and each of the persons set forth on Schedule A hereto (each, a “Stockholder”).

ARTICLE I

AGREEMENT TO TENDER AND VOTE

1.1. Agreement to Tender. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, each Stockholder agrees to validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares (other than (x) Company Options that are not exercised during the term of this Agreement and (y) Company RSUs that do not vest during the term of this Agreement) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances (as defined below) except for Permitted Encumbrances (as defined below). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, promptly after the Tender Notice (as defined below), but in no event later than the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration of the Offer, each Stockholder shall validly and irrevocably tender or cause to be validly and irrevocably tendered in the Offer all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares free and clear of all Encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances, including by delivering pursuant to the terms of the Offer (a) a letter of transmittal with respect to all of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares complying with the terms of the Offer, (b) a certificate representing all such Subject Shares that are certificated or, in the case of a book-entry share of any uncertificated Subject Shares, written instructions to such Stockholder’s broker, dealer or other nominee that such Subject Shares be tendered, including a reference to this Agreement, and requesting delivery of an “agent’s message” (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) and (c) all other documents or instruments reasonably required to be delivered by other Company stockholders pursuant to the terms of the Offer (it being understood that this sentence shall not apply to (x) Company Options that are not exercised during the term of this Agreement and (y) Company RSUs that do not vest during the term of this Agreement). Each Stockholder agrees that, once any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are tendered, such Stockholder will not withdraw such Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2. In the event this Agreement has been validly terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, Purchaser shall, and Parent shall cause Purchaser to, promptly return to the Stockholder all Subject Shares such Stockholder tendered in the Offer. At all times commencing with the date hereof and continuing until the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder shall not tender any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer commenced by a Person other than Parent, Purchaser or any other Subsidiary of Parent. For purposes hereof, a “Tender Notice” means a written notice, delivered by Parent or Purchaser to each Stockholder on the date of the expiration of the Offer (as soon as practicable following 1:00 p.m. New York City time on such expiration date but in no event later than one hour prior to the last time at which the depositary can accept tenders prior to the expiration), specifying that (i) all of the conditions to the Offer have been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or waived by Purchaser (to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement) (it being understood that such written notice can only be validly delivered by Parent or Purchaser to the extent that all of the conditions to the Offer have, in fact, been satisfied (or are reasonably expected to be satisfied as of the expiration of the Offer) or otherwise waived by Purchaser (to the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement)); provided that, for purposes of the Tender Notice only, the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition shall be tested assuming that all shares of Company Common Stock to be tendered pursuant to Section 1.1 of this Agreement are tendered prior to the expiration of the Offer and that the consummation of the Offer occurs contemporaneously with the delivery of the Tender Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.1 shall obligate Parent or Purchaser to deliver a Tender Notice.

 

B-2-2


1.2. Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, if Parent provides at least three (3) business days written notice to such Stockholder that it has terminated, or elects not to use, the proxy granted in Section 1.3, at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any action proposed to be taken by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, such Stockholder shall, in each case, to the fullest extent that such Stockholder’s Subject Shares are entitled to vote thereon: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all such Subject Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of determining a quorum and (b) be present (in person or by proxy) and vote (or cause to be voted), or deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent with respect to, all of its Subject Shares (i) against any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to (A) result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the Company contained in the Merger Agreement, or of any Stockholder contained in this Agreement, or (B) result in any of the conditions set forth in Article VIII or Annex C of the Merger Agreement not being satisfied on or before the Outside Date; (ii) against any change in the Company Board of Directors that is not recommended by the Company Board of Directors; and (iii) against any Acquisition Proposal. Subject to the proxy granted under Section 1.3 below, each Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in such Stockholder’s sole discretion, and without any other limitation, on any matters other than those expressly set forth in this Section 1.2 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing commitments in Sections 1.1 and 1.2 apply to any Subject Shares held by any trust, limited partnership or other entity directly or indirectly holding Subject Shares over which the applicable Stockholder exercises direct or indirect voting control.

1.3. Irrevocable Proxy. Solely with respect to the matters described in Section 1.2, for so long as this Agreement has not been validly terminated in accordance with its terms, each Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as its attorney and proxy with full power of substitution and resubstitution, to the full extent of such Stockholders’ voting rights with respect to all such Stockholders’ Subject Shares (which proxy is irrevocable and which appointment is coupled with an interest, including for purposes of Section 212 of the DGCL) to vote, and to execute written consents with respect to, all such Stockholders’ Subject Shares solely on the matters described in Section 1.2, and in accordance therewith. Each Stockholder agrees to execute any further agreement or form reasonably necessary or appropriate to confirm and effectuate the grant of the proxy contained herein. Such proxy shall automatically terminate upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to a Stockholder at any time in its sole discretion by written notice provided to such Stockholder.

(2) the Company shall not have performed or complied in all material respects with the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or complied with by it under the Agreement at or prior to the expiration of the Offer;

(3) a Company Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the date of the Agreement and be continuing;

(5) the Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms.

Except as expressly set forth in the Agreement, the foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of Parent and Purchaser, may be asserted by Parent or Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions, and may be waived by Parent or Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in their sole and absolute discretion (except for the Minimum Condition), in each case, subject to the terms of the Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. The failure by Parent or Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.
