AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of June 12, 2016 (the “Agreement Date”), by and among Symantec Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Acquirer”), S-B0616 Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct or indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer (“Merger Sub”) and Blue Coat, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain other capitalized terms used herein are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

 

A. Acquirer, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and Applicable Law (the “Merger”). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist and the Company will become a direct or indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer.

 

B. The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has carefully considered the terms of this Agreement and has unanimously (i) declared this Agreement and the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, advisable, fair to and in the best interests of the Company and the Company Stockholders, (ii) approved this Agreement in accordance with Applicable Law and (iii) adopted a resolution directing that the adoption of this Agreement be submitted to the Company Stockholders for consideration and recommending that all of the Company Stockholders adopt this Agreement.

 

C. The board of directors of Merger Sub has (i) declared this Agreement and the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, advisable, fair to and in the best interests of Merger Sub and the sole stockholder of Merger Sub and (ii) adopted a resolution recommending that Acquirer, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger.

 

D. The board of directors of Acquirer has approved this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the documents referenced herein (collectively, the “Transactions”), including the Merger, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and Acquirer, as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, shall, on the Agreement Date, immediately following execution and delivery of this Agreement, adopt this Agreement.

 

E. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Acquirer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain employees of the Company or the Subsidiaries identified on Schedule A of the Company Disclosure Letter (each, a “Named Employee”) have executed (i) an employment offer letter, together with a confidential information and invention assignment agreement (together, an “Offer Letter”), and (ii) a non-competition and non-solicitation agreement (a “Non-Competition Agreement”).

 

F. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Acquirer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, each Company Stockholder identified on Schedule B of the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Consenting Stockholders”) has entered into a voting and support agreement with Acquirer (the “Support Agreement”) pursuant to which, among other things, such Consenting Stockholder has agreed to vote all of its shares of Company Common Stock in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to take certain other actions in furtherance of the Transactions.


G. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Acquirer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain members of management of the Company identified on Schedule C of the Company Disclosure Letter (such members of management, the “Reinvestment Stockholders”) have entered into reinvestment agreements (the “Reinvestment Agreements”) with Acquirer pursuant to which the Reinvestment Stockholders have agreed to, among other things, acquire shares of Acquirer Common Stock and/or impose limitations on Assumed Options and shares of Acquirer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of certain of their Assumed Options (any shares of Acquirer Common Stock subject to Reinvestment Agreements, the “Reinvestment Shares”).

 

H. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Acquirer’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Bain Purchasers and certain other investors have entered into an investment agreement, in form and substance mutually agreed by the parties thereto (the “Investment Agreement”), with Acquirer pursuant to which such investors have agreed to acquire certain convertible notes, pursuant to the terms set forth therein.

 

I. Immediately following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company shall seek to obtain and deliver to Acquirer one or more written consents each in the form mutually agreed by the parties (a “Written Consent”) evidencing (i) the obtainment of the Company Stockholder Approval and (ii) the adoption of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements and obligations contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.3 Effect on Capital Stock, Options and Certain Performance Stock Units and Certain Restricted Stock Units.

(a) Treatment of Company Common Stock, Company Options, New Performance Stock Units and New Restricted Stock Units. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any party hereto, Company Stockholder, Company Optionholder, holder of New Performance Stock Units, New Restricted Stock Units or any other Person:

(i) Company Common Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock, including any Unvested Company Shares, held by a Converting Holder immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Dissenting Shares and shares that are owned by the Company as treasury stock) shall be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive, subject to and in accordance with Section 1.4 (and with respect to any Unvested Company Shares, in accordance with Section 1.3(a)(iv)), an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the Per Share Merger Consideration. The amount of cash each Converting Holder holding shares of Company Common Stock is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)(i) for such shares of Company Common Stock shall be rounded down to the nearest cent and computed after aggregating cash amounts for all shares of Company Common Stock held by such Converting Holder.

(ii) Company Options. Each Company Option that is not an Excluded Option, whether subject to time-based vesting or performance-based vesting, vested or unvested, including any Company Option that has an exercise price per share that is equal to or greater than the Per Share Merger Consideration (such option, an “Out-Of-The-Money Option”), that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed and converted by Acquirer into the right to receive the option to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time (provided that such terms shall, other than as otherwise agreed between the applicable Continuing Employee and Acquirer in any Reinvestment Agreement, take into effect any acceleration of vesting that occurs at or prior to the Effective Time or otherwise in connection with, or as a result of, the Transactions), that number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of (x) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (y) the Option Exchange Ratio (an “Assumed Option”), with the per share exercise price of such Assumed Option on a per Acquirer Common Stock share basis equal to, rounded up to the nearest cent, (A) the per share exercise price of such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time divided by (B) the Option Exchange Ratio. The Company shall, prior to the Closing, take or cause to be taken all actions within its power as may be reasonably required to effect the treatment of Company Options pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)(ii). Each Excluded Option, whether subject to time-based vesting or performance-based vesting, vested or unvested, that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquirer, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder thereof, shall be cancelled at the Effective Time, and in exchange therefor, each holder of such Excluded Option shall be entitled to receive, in consideration of the cancellation of such Excluded Option: an amount in cash, without interest,

 

5


equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such Excluded Option multiplied by (2) the excess, if any, of the Per Share Merger Consideration over the per share exercise price of such Excluded Option. For the avoidance of doubt, no holder of a Company Option that is an Assumed Option shall be entitled to any payment with respect to such Company Option at the Effective Time. At the Effective Time, any Excluded Option that is an Out-Of-The-Money Option shall be cancelled with no consideration therefor.

(iii) New Performance Stock Units and New Restricted Stock Units. Each New Performance Stock Unit and New Restricted Stock Unit issued as contemplated by Section 5.9(d) that is unexpired, unexercised and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be assumed and converted by Acquirer in accordance with Section 5.10. As set forth in Section 5.10, each assumed New Performance Stock Unit and New Restricted Stock Unit that immediately prior to the Effective Time was not fully vested shall be subject to the same vesting arrangements that were applicable to such New Performance Stock Unit or New Restricted Stock Unit, as the case may be, immediately prior to or at the Effective Time, and no vesting acceleration shall occur by reason of the Merger.

(iv) Unvested Company Shares. The payment of cash pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) in exchange for Unvested Company Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions and vesting arrangements that were applicable to such Unvested Company Shares on or immediately prior to the Agreement Date (or, in the case of any Unvested Company Shares issued after the Agreement Date or any modification to any Unvested Company Shares issued on or prior to the Agreement Date, such restrictions and vesting arrangements as agreed by Acquirer (such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)) (provided that such terms shall, other than as otherwise agreed between the applicable Continuing Employee and Acquirer in any applicable Offer Letter or Reinvestment Agreement, take into effect any acceleration of vesting that occurs at or prior to the Effective Time or otherwise in connection with, or as a result of, the Transactions). Accordingly, cash otherwise payable or issuable pursuant to Section 1.3(a)(i) in exchange for the Unvested Company Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (“Unvested Consideration”) shall be retained by Acquirer and shall not be payable by Acquirer at the Effective Time, and shall instead become payable by Acquirer on, and only upon the occurrence of the date that such Unvested Company Shares would have become vested under the vesting schedule in place for such shares immediately prior to or at the Effective Time (subject to the restrictions and other terms of such vesting schedule and giving effect to any agreement between the applicable Continuing Employee and Acquirer in any applicable Offer Letter or any acceleration and/or vesting protections not waived pursuant to such Offer Letter). Acquirer will make all such required payments to holders of Unvested Consideration no later than the last day of the calendar month in which such Unvested Consideration would have become vested under the original vesting schedule and in its discretion may make such payments through a paying agent authorized by Acquirer to administer such payments on Acquirer’s behalf. All amounts payable pursuant to this Section 1.3(a)(iv) shall be subject to any required payroll and income tax withholding and shall be paid without interest. A portion of such newly vested cash so distributed may be treated as imputed interest for federal income tax purposes to the extent required under the Code and the regulations thereunder. All outstanding rights to repurchase Unvested Company Shares that the Company may hold or similar restrictions in the Company’s favor immediately prior to the Effective Time (all such rights, “Repurchase Rights”) shall, to the extent assignable by the Company without consent, be automatically assigned to Acquirer in the Merger without any further action and shall thereafter be exercisable by Acquirer upon the same terms and subject to the same conditions that were in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time (as such may be amended pursuant to the terms of an Offer Letter, as applicable), except that Repurchase Rights may be exercised by Acquirer retaining the Unvested Consideration into which such Unvested Company Shares have been converted and paying to the former holder thereof the repurchase price in effect for each such share subject to that Repurchase Right immediately prior to the Effective Time. No Unvested Consideration, or right thereto, may be pledged, encumbered, sold, assigned or transferred

 

6


(including any transfer by operation of law), by any Person, other than Acquirer, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any Liability of such Person, prior to the distribution to such Person of such Unvested Consideration in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Treatment of Company Common Stock Owned by the Company. At the Effective Time, all shares of Company Common Stock that are owned by the Company as treasury stock immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof or payment of any cash or other property or consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Treatment of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquirer, Merger Sub or any other Person, each share of capital stock of Merger Sub that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation (and the shares of the Surviving Corporation into which the shares of Merger Sub capital stock are so converted, shall be the only shares of the Surviving Corporation’s capital stock that are issued and outstanding immediately after the Effective Time). From and after the Effective Time, each certificate evidencing ownership of a number of shares of Merger Sub capital stock, will evidence ownership of such number of shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(d) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Common Stock occurring on or after the Agreement Date and prior to the Effective Time, all references herein to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(e) Appraisal Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Dissenting Shares shall not be converted into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, but shall instead be converted into the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due with respect to any such Dissenting Shares pursuant to the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who, pursuant to the DGCL, becomes entitled to payment thereunder for such shares shall receive payment therefor in accordance with the DGCL (but only after the value therefor shall have been agreed upon or finally determined pursuant to such provisions). If, after the Effective Time, any Dissenting Shares shall lose their status as Dissenting Shares, then any such shares shall immediately be deemed to have converted at the Effective Time into the right to receive the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in respect of such shares as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares, and Acquirer shall issue and deliver to the holder thereof, at (or as promptly as reasonably practicable after) the applicable time or times specified in Section 1.4(a), following the satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 1.4(a), the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration as if such shares never had been Dissenting Shares.

3.6 Financing.

(a) Each of Acquirer and Merger Sub affirms that it is not a condition to the Closing or to any of their other obligations under this Agreement that any of them obtain financing for, or related to, any of the Transactions (except as specifically set forth in Section 6.3(e)). Acquirer has furnished the Company with a true, correct and complete copy of the executed debt commitment letter, dated as of the Agreement Date, among Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Barclays Bank PLC, Citibank, N.A. and certain affiliates, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.

As of the Agreement Date, the Debt Commitment Letter has not been amended or modified and no amendment or modification to the Debt Commitment Letter is contemplated by Acquirer or Merger Sub, and no Debt Financing Source has notified Acquirer in writing of its intention to terminate the Debt Commitment Letter or not to provide the Debt Financing. As of the Agreement Date, there are no side letters or other Contracts or arrangements to which Acquirer or any of its subsidiaries is a party that would affect the amount (including by imposition or increase of original issue discount or upfront fees), availability or conditions of the Debt Financing other than as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter furnished to the Company on the Agreement Date. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3, the aggregate proceeds of the Debt Financing, when funded, together with funds provided in accordance with the terms of the Investment Agreement and funds then available to Acquirer will, as of the Effective Time, be sufficient to enable Acquirer and the Surviving Corporation to pay and satisfy in full (i) the obligations pursuant to this Agreement to pay the Merger Consideration, (ii) all fees and expenses of Acquirer and its subsidiaries in connection with each portion of the Transactions payable by Acquirer as contemplated by Section 1.3 and Section 1.4 (i.e., excluding any net-settled reinvestment amounts as contemplated thereby) at Closing and (iii) the payment of all Transaction Expenses payable by Acquirer hereunder and the Company Funded Debt (including any Prepayment Premium) as described in Section 5.8 (the amounts in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Required Amount”).

(b) As of the Agreement Date, the Debt Commitment Letter is not subject to any conditions precedent relating to the funding of the Debt Financing other than as set forth therein and, as of the Agreement Date, is in full force and effect and is the legal, valid (assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties thereto), binding and enforceable obligation of Acquirer, and, to the knowledge of Acquirer, each other Person party thereto, in each case, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions. All commitment and other fees required to be paid under the Debt Commitment Letter prior to the Agreement Date have been paid in full. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3, Acquirer is not aware of the existence of any fact or event as of the Agreement Date that would reasonably be expected to cause such conditions to funding not to be satisfied on or before the Closing Date or such funding not to be made available to Acquirer on or before the Closing Date.

3.8 No Prior Merger Sub Operations. Merger Sub was formed solely for the purpose of effecting the Merger and has not engaged in any business activities or conducted any operations other than in connection with the Transactions.

3.11 Acquirer Common Stock. Acquirer will have at the Effective Time sufficient authorized but unissued shares of Acquirer Common Stock to issue the Reinvestment Shares and any shares of Acquirer Common Stock pursuant to the exercise of any Assumed Options.

Each of Acquirer and the Company shall (i) cooperate and coordinate with the other in the making of such filings, (ii) supply the other with any information that may be required in order to make such filings, (iii) supply any additional information that reasonably may be required or requested by the United States Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice or the Governmental Entities of any other applicable jurisdiction in which any such filing is made under any other Antitrust Laws and (iv) use reasonable best efforts to cause the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the HSR Act or other Antitrust Laws as soon as practicable, and to obtain any required consents under any other Antitrust Laws applicable to the Merger as soon as practicable, including by attempting to secure approvals without in-depth investigation by any agency competent in the enforcement or exercise of Antitrust Laws and to avoid any impediment to the consummation of the Merger under any Antitrust Laws, including taking all such action as reasonably may be necessary to resolve such objections, if any, as the United States Federal Trade Commission, the United States Department of Justice or any other Governmental Entity or Person may assert under any applicable Antitrust Laws with respect to the Merger to obtain clearance of the Merger.

(c) Acquirer shall, to the extent reasonably necessary to achieve the outcomes described in Section 5.4(b), effect or commit to, by consent decree, hold separate orders, or otherwise, (i) the sale, divestiture, license or other disposition or holding separate (through the establishment of a trust or otherwise) of any assets or categories of assets of Acquirer or its subsidiaries or the Company or the Subsidiaries, and (ii) the imposition of any limitation or regulation on the ability of Acquirer, Merger Sub or its subsidiaries or the Company or the Subsidiaries to freely conduct their business or own such assets (an “Antitrust Required Action”), in each case unless taking such Antitrust Required Action would or would reasonably be likely to materially and negatively affect the benefits reasonably expected to be obtained in the Transactions by Acquirer (any of the foregoing having such an effect, an “Antitrust Restraint”).

(d) Each of Acquirer and the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 48 hours) inform the other of any material communication between such party and any Governmental Entity regarding any of the Transactions. If Acquirer or Merger Sub (or any of their respective Affiliates, if applicable), on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, shall receive a request for additional information or documentary material from any Governmental Entity with respect to the Transactions pursuant to the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Laws with respect to which any such filings have been made, then such party shall make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and after consultation with such other party, an appropriate response in compliance with such request.

(e) In furtherance and not in limitation of the covenants contained in this Section 5.4, if any administrative or judicial action or proceeding, including any proceeding by a private party, is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging the Merger or any other Transactions as violating any Applicable Law or Order, or if any Applicable Law or Order is enacted, entered, promulgated or enforced by a Governmental Entity which would make illegal, or would otherwise prohibit or materially impair or delay, the Merger or any other Transactions, Acquirer and Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, shall use reasonable best efforts to contest any such action or proceeding and use all reasonable efforts to have vacated or otherwise lifted any such Applicable Law or Order, including, in the case of Acquirer, by effecting or committing to an Antitrust Required Action so long as it does not constitute an Antitrust Restraint.

(a) Following consultation with Acquirer, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain prior to the Closing, and deliver to Acquirer at or prior to the Closing, all consents, waivers and approvals under each Contract listed or described on Schedule 2.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter (and any Contract entered into after the Agreement Date that would have been required to be listed or described on Schedule 2.4(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter if entered into prior to the Agreement Date). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be required prior to the Effective Time to pay any consent or other similar fee, “profit sharing” or other similar payment or other consideration (including increased rent or other similar payments or any amendments, supplements or other modifications to (or waivers of) the existing terms of any Contract), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty) to obtain the consent, waiver or approval of any Person under any Contract.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 5.3, the Company shall (and shall cause each Subsidiary to) give all notices and other information required to be given to the employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries, any union, works council, or similar labor entity or employee representation group representing any group of employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries, and any applicable Governmental Entity under WARN, the National Labor Relations Act, as amended, the Code, Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act and other Applicable Law in connection with the Transactions.

In the event that the Company does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall notify Acquirer in writing that it is withholding information based on this Section 5.7 and shall use its reasonable best efforts to communicate the applicable information to Acquirer in a way that would not violate the Applicable Law, Contract or obligation to or waive such privilege with respect to such communication.

(b) No information or knowledge obtained by Acquirer during the pendency of the Transactions in any investigation pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, obligation or condition set forth herein.

(a) Following the Agreement Date, the Company shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Acquirer in obtaining an executed Offer Letter, Reinvestment Agreement and, if applicable, Non-Competition Agreement from each Specified Employee at or prior to the Closing, in each case in form and substance acceptable to Acquirer. As a result of the Merger, and except for the Named Employees each of whom is entering into an Offer Letter as required by this Agreement, the Specified Employees who enter into an Offer Letter after the Agreement Date and prior to the Closing Date and as otherwise required by Applicable Law, each of the current employees of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become or remain employees of the Surviving Corporation or the appropriate Subsidiary by operation of law.

To the extent any Continuing Employee participates in an Acquirer Plan that is a group health plan of Acquirer (or any subsidiary of Acquirer) following the Closing Date (an “Acquirer Welfare Plan”), Acquirer will, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law and any insurer or service provider under the applicable Acquirer Welfare Plan, cause all participation waiting periods under each Acquirer Welfare Plan that would otherwise be applicable to such Continuing Employee to be waived to the same extent waived or satisfied under the Company Employee Plan comparable to such Acquirer Welfare Plan immediately prior to the Closing Date or, if later, immediately prior to such Continuing Employee’s commencement of participation in such Acquirer Welfare Plan.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, (i) the Company shall adopt the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan and (ii) the Company shall grant New Performance Stock Units and/or New Restricted Stock Units for shares of Company Common Stock from the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan to certain of the Employees, in such amounts, and with such terms as agreed to in writing by Acquirer and the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (including that such New Performance Stock Units and/or New Restricted Stock Units shall not accelerate by reason of the Merger).

(e) The provisions of this Section 5.9 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no Employee or any other Person (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof) shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement (except to the extent provided in Section 8.8), and no provision of this Section 5.9 shall create such rights in any such Persons in respect of any benefits that may be provided, directly or indirectly, under any Company Employee Plan or Employment Agreement or any employee program or any plan or arrangement of Acquirer or any of its subsidiaries or shall be construed to modify, amend, or establish any benefit plan, program or arrangement or in any way affect the ability of the parties hereto or any other Person to modify, amend or terminate any of its benefit plans, programs or arrangements or terminate the employment or service of any Employee.)

 

53


5.10 Assumption of New Performance Stock Units and New Restricted Stock Units. At the Effective Time, each New Performance Stock Unit and New Restricted Stock Unit that is unexpired shall be assumed by Acquirer. Each such New Performance Stock Unit and New Restricted Stock Unit so assumed by Acquirer under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the plan under which such New Performance Stock Units or New Restricted Stock Units were issued and the applicable notice of grant of stock unit or other applicable agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, except that such New Performance Stock Unit or New Restricted Stock Unit shall be settled by the issuance of that number of whole shares of Acquirer Common Stock equal to the product (rounded down to the next whole number of shares of Acquirer Common Stock, with no cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon settlement of such New Performance Stock Unit or New Restricted Stock Unit immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Equity Exchange Ratio. Consistent with the terms of the plan under which such New Performance Stock Units and New Restricted Stock Units will be issued and the applicable notice of grant of stock unit or other applicable agreement, the Merger shall not terminate any of the outstanding New Performance Stock Units and New Restricted Stock Units under such plan or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such New Performance Stock Units or New Restricted Stock Units or the shares of Acquirer Common Stock that shall be subject to those New Performance Stock Units or New Restricted Stock Units, as the case may be, upon Acquirer’s assumption in the Merger.

ARTICLE VIII

GENERAL PROVISIONS

8.1 Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties made by the Company herein and in the certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing. If the Merger is consummated, the representations and warranties made by Acquirer and Merger Sub herein and in the certificates contemplated by this Agreement shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing. If the Merger is consummated, all covenants, agreements and obligations of the parties hereto shall expire and be of no further force or effect as of the Closing, except with respect to the obligations of Acquirer and Merger Sub to make the payments provided for in Article I and to the extent such covenants, agreements and obligations provide that they are to be performed after the Closing. None of the covenants of any party required to be performed by such party before the Closing will survive the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties hereto, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, that the provisions of this Section 8.1 supersede any applicable statutes of limitations with respect to the applicable representations and warranties. Acquirer and Merger Sub (on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates and Representatives (including, following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation and the Subsidiaries of the Surviving Corporation)) hereby waive, from and after the Closing, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims for intentional fraud, committed with actual knowledge, with respect to representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement) which Acquirer or Merger Sub or any of their Affiliates and Representatives may have against the Company or any of its Affiliates or Representatives or any other Person arising under or based upon this Agreement (other than as may be set forth in any Letter of Transmittal or Transaction Document).

8.3 Provision Respecting Legal Representation. It is acknowledged by each of the parties hereto that the Company has retained Ropes & Gray LLP (“Ropes”) to act as its counsel in connection with the Transactions and that Ropes has not acted as counsel for any other party hereto in connection with the Transactions (the “Acquisition Engagement”). Each of Acquirer and the Company hereby agrees that, in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Acquirer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Company Securityholders, on the other hand, Ropes may represent any or all of the Company Securityholders in such dispute even though the interests of the Company Securityholders may be directly adverse to Acquirer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries, without the need for any future waiver or consent, and even though Ropes formerly may have represented the Company or any of the Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute; provided, however, that this sentence shall not apply if Ropes previously had handled or, at the time of such dispute, is handling any ongoing matters substantially related to such dispute for Acquirer, the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective subsidiaries. To

 

67


the extent that any communication between the Company or the Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and Ropes, on the other hand, directly relates to the Acquisition Engagement and such dispute, such communication shall, for so long as the confidentiality of such communication is preserved by the parties thereto, be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Company Securityholders, and not the Company or Surviving Corporation (“Confidential Communications”). Neither Acquirer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall have access to (and Acquirer hereby waives, on behalf of each, any right of access it may otherwise have with respect to) any files or work product of Ropes, to the extent that they include Confidential Communications, whether or not the Closing occurs. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Acquirer acknowledges and agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, upon and after the Closing: (i) the Company Securityholders and Ropes shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Confidential Communications, and neither Acquirer nor any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files or work product of Ropes in respect of the Acquisition Engagement constitute property of the client, only the Company Securityholders shall hold such property rights and have the right to waive or modify such property rights with respect to the Confidential Communications and (iii) Ropes shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Confidential Communications to Acquirer or any of its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation, by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Ropes and the Company or otherwise; provided that, to the extent any communication includes Confidential Communications, Ropes shall provide appropriately redacted versions of such communications, files or work product to Acquirer or its Affiliates, including the Surviving Corporation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between any of Acquirer or the Surviving Corporation or their Affiliates, on the one hand, and any of the Company Securityholders, on the other hand, concerning the matters contemplated in this Agreement, Acquirer, for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates and the Surviving Corporation and its Affiliates, agrees that Acquirer, the Surviving Corporation and their Affiliates shall not offer into evidence or otherwise attempt to use or assert Confidential Communications against the Company Securityholders.

8.4 Interpretation. When a reference is made herein to Articles, Sections, subsections, Schedules or Exhibits, such reference shall be to an Article, Section or subsection of, or a Schedule or an Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “include,” “includes” and “including” when used herein shall be deemed in each case to be followed by the words “without limitation.” Where a reference is made to a Contract, instrument (other than the Registration Statement) or Applicable Law, such reference is to such Contract, instrument or Applicable Law as amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of Contracts or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of Applicable Law) by succession of comparable successor law and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires (a) words of any gender include each other gender and neutral forms of such words, (b) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively, (c) the terms “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto,” “hereunder” and derivative or similar words refer to this entire Agreement, (d) references to clauses without a cross-reference to a Section or subsection are references to clauses within the same Section or, if more specific, subsection, (e) references to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person, (f) references from or through any date shall mean, unless otherwise specified, from and including or through and including, respectively.(g) the phrases “provide to” and “deliver to” and phrases of similar import mean that a true, correct and complete paper or electronic copy of the information or material referred to has been delivered to the party to whom such information or material is to be provided and (h) the phrase “made available to” and phrases of similar import means, with respect to any information, document or other material of Acquirer or the Company, that such information, document or material was made available for review by the Company or Acquirer, respectively, and its Representatives in the virtual data room established by Acquirer or the Company,

 

68


respectively, in connection with this Agreement at least 24 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement or actually delivered (whether by physical or electronic delivery) to the Company or Acquirer, respectively, or its Representatives at least 24 hours prior to the execution of this Agreement. The symbol “$” and references to “dollars” refers to United States Dollars and all references to currency amounts shall be to United States Dollars unless explicitly indicated otherwise. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends and such phrase shall not mean simply “if.” All references to “days” shall be to calendar days unless otherwise indicated as a “Business Day.” Any action otherwise required to be taken on a day that is not a Business Day shall instead be taken on the next succeeding Business Day, and if the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day. Unless indicated otherwise, all mathematical calculations contemplated by this Agreement shall be rounded to the tenth decimal place, except in respect of payments, which shall be rounded to the nearest whole United States cent.

8.5 Amendment. Subject to Applicable Law, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement by authorized action at any time pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto; provided that after the Company Stockholder Approval is obtained, no amendment shall be made to this Agreement that by Applicable Law requires further approval by the Company Stockholders without such further approval. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Acquirer and the Company may cause this Agreement to be amended at any time after the Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Acquirer and the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 7.2, clause (v) of Section 8.8, the fifth sentence of Section 8.11, the proviso of the first sentence of Section 8.12, the last sentence of Section 8.12, Section 8.14 and the penultimate sentence of this Section 8.5 may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that adversely impacts the Debt Financing Source Related Parties without the prior written consent of the Debt Financing Sources. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Section 8.8, the sixth, seventh and eighth sentences of Section 8.11, and this sentence may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated in a manner that adversely impacts the SL Investors without the prior written consent of such SL Investors.

8.6 Extension; Waiver. At any time at or prior to the Closing, any party hereto may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other parties hereto owed to such party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto, (c) waive any breaches of any of the covenants, agreements, obligations or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein and (d) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions for the benefit of such party contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing that is (A) prior to the Closing with respect to the Company and/or the Company Securityholders, signed by the Company and (B) with respect to Acquirer and/or Merger Sub, signed by Acquirer. Without limiting the generality or effect of the preceding sentence, no failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right under this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such right, and no waiver of any breach or default shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default of the same or any other provision herein.

8.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same instrument and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties hereto; it being understood and agreed that all parties hereto need not sign the same counterpart. The delivery by facsimile or by electronic delivery in PDF format of this Agreement with all executed signature pages (in counterparts or otherwise) shall be sufficient to bind the parties hereto to the terms and conditions set forth herein. All of the counterparts will together constitute one and the same instrument and each counterpart will constitute an original of this Agreement.

8.8 Entire Agreement; Parties in Interest. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents, including all the exhibits attached hereto and thereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, except for the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect, and shall survive any termination of this Agreement, in accordance with its terms and (b) are not intended to confer, and shall not be construed as conferring, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder (except that (v) the Debt Financing Source Related Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely upon the penultimate sentence of Section 8.5, the fifth sentence of Section 8.11, the proviso in the first sentence of Section 8.12, the last sentence of Section 8.12, Section 8.14 and clause (v) of this Section 8.8, and each Debt Financing Source Related Party may enforce such provisions, (w) the SL Investors shall be express third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely upon the last sentence of Section 8.5, the sixth, seventh and eighth sentences of Section 8.11 and this clause (w) of this Section 8.8 and each SL Investor may enforce such provisions, (x) Section 5.18 is intended to benefit the Company Indemnified Parties, and Company Indemnified Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely upon Section 5.18, (y) Ropes shall be an express third party beneficiary of Section 8.3 and (z) the Non-Parties shall be express third party beneficiaries of and shall be entitled to rely upon Section 8.11). Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that each of the Company Securityholders is intended to be an express third-party beneficiary of the rights of such Person to receive the consideration set forth in Article I. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, prior to the Effective Time, each holder of Equity Interests of the Company will be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement for the purpose of pursuing claims for damages (including damages based on the loss of the economic benefits of the Merger, including the loss of the premium offered to such holder) and, to the extent such damages are awarded by a court, enforcing such an award for and accepting damages under this Agreement in the event of a failure by Acquirer or Merger Sub to effect the Merger as required by the terms of this Agreement or Willful Breach by Acquirer or Merger Sub. The rights granted pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 8.8 will be enforceable only by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion, on behalf of the Company Securityholders.

8.9 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights and obligations under this Agreement may be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, and any such assignment without such prior written consent shall be null and void, except that Acquirer and/or Merger Sub may assign its rights and delegate all or a portion of its obligations under this Agreement to any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Acquirer without the prior consent of any other party hereto; provided that notwithstanding any such assignment, Acquirer and/or Merger Sub, as applicable, shall remain liable for all of its obligations under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

8.10 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and shall be interpreted so as reasonably necessary to effect the intent of the parties hereto. The parties hereto shall use all reasonable efforts to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that shall achieve, to the greatest extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision.

8.11 Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance; Non-Recourse. The parties hereto understand and agree that the covenants and undertakings herein contained are uniquely related to the desire of the parties hereto to consummate the Transactions, that the Transactions represent a unique business opportunity at a unique time for each of the parties hereto and further agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its terms. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party hereto shall 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 hereto of any one remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other remedy and nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver by any party hereto of any right to specific performance or injunctive relief. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, and the parties hereto hereby waive the requirement of any posting of a bond in connection with the remedies described herein. In the event that any Legal Proceeding should be brought in equity to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, no party hereto shall allege, and each party hereto hereby waives the defense, that there is an adequate remedy at law. Without limiting the obligations of the Debt Financing Sources under the Debt Commitment Letter and the rights of Acquirer and Merger Sub under the Debt Commitment Letter, the Company acknowledges and agrees that no Debt Financing Source Related Party shall have any Liability or obligation to the Company (or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective shareholders, partners, members, Employees, agents or Representatives) in connection with this Agreement or any Transactions if such Debt Financing Source Related Party breaches or fails to perform (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) any of its obligations under the Debt Commitment Letter and the Company (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective shareholders, partners, members, Employees, agents and Representatives) hereby waives any rights or claims against each Debt Financing Source Related Party in connection with this Agreement and the Debt Financing, whether at law or equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise, and the Company (on behalf of itself, its Affiliates and its and their respective shareholders, partners, members, Employees, agents and representatives) agrees not to commence (and if commenced agrees to dismiss or otherwise terminate) any action or proceeding against any Debt Financing Source Related Party in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction (including any action or proceeding relating to the Debt Financing). This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out of or by reason of, this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, performance or breach (whether willful, intentional, unintentional or otherwise), of this Agreement, including any representation or warranty made or alleged to have been made in, in connection with or as an inducement to, this Agreement (each of such above-described legal, equitable or other theories or sources of liability, a “Recourse Theory”) may only be made or asserted against (and are expressly limited to) the Persons that are expressly identified as the parties hereto in the preamble to and signature pages of this Agreement and solely in their capacities as such. No Person who is not a party hereto (including (a) any former, current or future direct or indirect equity holder, controlling Person, management company, incorporator, member, partner, manager, director, officer, employee, agent, Affiliate, attorney or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, or direct or indirect holder of notes issued by (all above-described Persons in this subclause (a), collectively, “Affiliated Persons”), a party hereto or any Affiliate of such party, and (b) any Affiliated Persons of such Affiliated Persons but specifically excluding the parties hereto (the Persons in subclauses (a) and (b), together with their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors or administrators, collectively, but specifically excluding the parties hereto, “Non-Parties”)) will have any liability whatsoever in respect of, based upon or arising out of any Recourse Theory. Without limiting the rights of any party hereto against the other parties hereto as set forth herein, in no event will any party hereto, any of its Affiliates or any Person claiming by, through or on behalf of any of them institute any Legal Proceeding under any Recourse Theory against any Non-Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, nothing shall limit (x) any rights of Acquirer against (i) the Bain Purchasers under the Investment Agreement or the indenture contemplated thereby or (ii) the Named Employees under each of the Transaction Documents to which they are a party, or (y) the rights of any party hereto against any Non-Party arising under or in respect of a separate agreement binding on such party and Non-Party.
