The Surviving Corporation Non-Voting Common Stock to be issued by the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 3.2(b) shall be issued pursuant to the Equity Plan.
(c)    The aggregate cash portion of the Per Option Closing Consideration and any Unpaid Bonuses payable to each Pre-Closing Holder of Vested Options shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation (or the Surviving Corporation shall cause such payments to be made), less Taxes required to be withheld under applicable Law due to the treatment of Options set forth in this Section 3.2 (which taxes the employer of such Pre-Closing Holder of Vested Options will remit to the applicable Governmental Authority), through the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ payroll system no later than the next regularly occurring payroll payment date occurring at least fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date.
(d)    Each of the Company, Parent and Buyer (and their respective Board of Directors) shall each take or cause to be taken any and all actions reasonably necessary to give effect to the treatment of Options set forth in this Section 3.2.
3.3    Payment and Exchange of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares.
(a)    At the Closing, Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid to an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount (the “Funding Amount”) equal to (i) the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by the aggregate number of Common Shares held by all Pre-Closing Holders as of immediately prior to the Effective Time less (ii) the Deferred Payment Amount; provided that Buyer will promptly thereafter pay or cause to be paid to the Exchange Agent any amounts by which the Funding Amount increases due to any Dissenting Shares becoming Common Shares in accordance with Section 3.6. Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid the fees and expenses of the Exchange Agent.
(b)    After the Effective Time but subject to clause (c) below, (x) each Pre-Closing Holder of Common Shares represented by an outstanding certificate or outstanding certificates for such Common Shares (collectively, the “Certificates”), upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of such Certificate(s) and a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Annex D
20
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

(“Letter of Transmittal”), and (y) each Pre-Closing Holder of non-certificated Common Shares represented by book-entry (collectively, the “Book-Entry Shares”), upon surrender to the Exchange Agent of a Letter of Transmittal, shall, in the case of clauses (x) and (y), be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) from the Exchange Agent an amount in cash equal to the product of (x) the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of Common Shares surrendered in the applicable Letter of Transmittal and (ii) the applicable portion of the Additional Merger Consideration with respect to such Common Shares in accordance with Sections 3.8 and 3.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to clause (c) below, in the event that any CP V Investor or HFCP VII Investor delivers the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, the Certificate(s) representing such Common Shares to Buyer at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid the aggregate amount of the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled in consideration therefor directly to such holder at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds and the Funding Amount payable to the Exchange Agent shall be reduced by such amount. Pending such surrender and exchange of a Pre-Closing Holder’s Certificate(s) or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, a holder’s Certificate(s) and Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall be deemed for all purposes to evidence such holder’s right to receive the portion of the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration and the Additional Merger Consideration into which such Common Shares shall have been converted as a result of the Merger.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, payment of the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration with respect to each Deferred Payment Share will be deferred, without interest, until the Deferred Payment Date; provided, that (x) to the extent the CP VI Investors do not fund all or any portion of their Equity Financing on the Deferred Payment Date pursuant to their Commitment Letters (such unfunded portion, the “Unfunded CP VI Amount”), payment with respect to a number of Deferred Payment Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) held by the CP V Investors (and not any other Pre-Closing Holder) equal to (i) the Unfunded CP VI Amount divided by (ii) the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration will be further deferred, without interest, and will only be paid to the CP V Investors at such time that the CP VI Investors pays the full Unfunded CP VI Amount and (y) to the extent the HFCP VIII Investors do not fund all or any portion of their Equity Financing on the Deferred Payment Date pursuant to their Commitment Letters (such unfunded portion, the “Unfunded HFCP VIII Amount”), payment with respect to a number of Deferred Payment Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole number) held by the HFCP VII Investors (and not any other Pre-Closing Holder) equal to (i) the Unfunded HFCP VIII Amount divided by (ii) the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration will be further deferred, without interest, and will only be paid to the HFCP VII Investors at such time that the HFCP VIII Investors pays the full Unfunded HFCP VIII Amount. Subject to the proviso in the preceding sentence, on the Deferred Payment Date, the Surviving Corporation shall pay or cause to be paid to the applicable Pre-Closing Holder of Deferred Payment Shares, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account set forth in its Letter of Transmittal (or as otherwise designated by such Pre-Closing Holder in writing to the Surviving Corporation at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Deferred Payment Date), an amount equal to the product of (x) the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of Deferred Payment Shares held by such Pre-Closing Holder, without interest.
21

3.4    Exchange Agent. Promptly following the date which is one year after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall instruct the Exchange Agent to deliver to the Surviving Corporation all cash, Certificates and other documents in its possession relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Exchange Agent’s duties shall terminate. Thereafter, each Pre-Closing Holder of a Certificate or Book-Entry Shares (other than Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, representing Dissenting Shares) may surrender such Certificate and Book-Entry Shares to the Surviving Corporation and (subject to applicable abandoned property, escheat and similar Laws) receive in consideration therefor, and the Surviving Corporation shall promptly pay or cause to be paid the portion of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Article III without any interest thereon.
3.5    Lost Certificate. In the event any Certificate has been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Corporation, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such customary terms as may be required by the Surviving Corporation as indemnity against any claim that is made against it or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Article III.
3.6    Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article III, shares (each, a “Dissenting Share”) of Parent Common Stock held by Persons who object to the Merger and comply with the provisions of the DGCL concerning the rights of holders of Parent Common Stock to dissent from the Merger and require appraisal of their shares of Parent Common Stock (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into a right to receive any portion of the Merger Consideration and the holders thereof shall be entitled to such rights as are granted by Section 262 of the DGCL. Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall receive payment therefor from the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the DGCL; provided, however, that (i) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have failed to establish such holder’s entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL, or (ii) if any such holder of Dissenting Shares shall have effectively withdrawn such holder’s demand for appraisal of such shares or lost such holder’s right to appraisal and payment for such holder’s shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder shall forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share shall not constitute a Dissenting Share and shall be treated as if it had been a Common Share immediately prior to the Effective Time and converted, as of the Effective Time, into a right to receive from the Surviving Corporation the portion of the Merger Consideration deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Article III, without any interest thereon (and such holder shall be treated as a Pre-Closing Holder). The Company and Parent will give Buyer reasonable notice of all written notices received by the Company or Parent pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL. Without the prior written consent of Buyer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Company and Parent shall not voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demand for payment. From and after the Effective Time, all Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and no stockholder who has properly exercised and perfected appraisal rights pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL shall have any rights with respect to such Dissenting
22
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

Shares, except the right to receive the fair value of such Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, or be entitled to vote his or her shares of Parent Common Stock for any purpose or receive payment of dividends or other distributions with respect to his or her shares of Parent Common Stock (except dividends and distributions payable to stockholders of record at a date which is prior to the Effective Time).
3.7    Withholding. Parent, Buyer, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Exchange Agent and any other applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable or deliverable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, to any Person such amounts that Parent, Buyer, the Company, the Company’s Subsidiaries, the Exchange Agent or any other applicable withholding agent are required to deduct and withhold with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Law (including in connection with the vesting or exercise of Parent Restricted Stock and Options); provided, however, that prior to making any such deduction or withholding from any payments in respect of Common Shares or Dissenting Shares (other than backup withholding or withholding with respect to compensatory amounts or as a failure of the Company to comply with the covenant set forth in Section 9.4 on or prior to the Closing Date), the applicable withholding entity shall use all reasonable best efforts to provide reasonable advance notice to the applicable recipient of the amounts subject to withholding and a reasonable opportunity in advance of such withholding for such recipient and/or the Company to provide forms or other evidence that would exempt such amounts from withholding tax. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and duly and timely deposited with the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
3.8    Investment Portfolio Earn-Out.
(a)    Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that the value of the interests held by the Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries in the entities set forth on Schedule 3.8 (collectively, such interests being referenced herein as the “Investment Portfolio”) has not been reflected in the Cash Per Share Merger Consideration, and that the value of such Investment Portfolio shall be determined and payable to the Pre-Closing Holders (including Rollover Sellers) as Additional Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.8(b), subject to Section 3.10.
(b)    Subject to Section 3.8(c) and Section 3.10, Buyer and Parent hereby agree that, promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) following the receipt by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries of any distributions or other consideration in respect of the Investment Portfolio, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to each Pre-Closing Holder an amount, without interest, equal to (i) the amount of such distribution or other consideration, in each case, net of the sum of any out-of-pocket expenses (including withholding Taxes, the employer portion of payroll Taxes and income Taxes) reasonably incurred by Parent and its Subsidiaries following the Closing (x) in the collection, receipt and payment of such amounts or (y) as a result of the ownership of such Investment Portfolio (each such net amount, subject to the proviso to this sentence, an “Earn-Out Amount”), multiplied by (ii) such Pre-Closing Holder’s Earn-Out Percentage, less any applicable withholding tax; provided, however, that, if following the Closing Date, Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is required to fund any commitment with respect
23
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

to the Investment Portfolio, the amount of such commitment shall be first funded from the Reserve Account (thereby reducing the amount of the Reserve Account dollar for dollar) and to the extent such commitment exceeds the amount of the Reserve Account, the excess amount of such commitment shall be taken into account as an offset in determining the amount of the next Earn-Out Amount (and, to the extent the amount of such funded commitment exceeds the amount that would (but for this proviso) be the amount of the next Earn-Out Amount, the excess shall be taken into account as an offset in determining subsequent Earn-Out Amounts until fully applied). In calculating the Earn-Out Amount, the amount of income Taxes taken into account shall be an amount equal to the excess of (A) the cumulative amount for taxable periods (or portions thereof) commencing after the Closing Date of the product of (i) the amount of income or gain recognized by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries from the Investment Portfolio (net of losses from the Investment Portfolio for such taxable periods (or portions thereof) that are available to offset such income or gain and ignoring, for this purpose, (I) any of Parent’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ other Tax attributes and (II) any utilization of such losses from the Investment Portfolio to reduce income or gain of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries other than any such income or gain from the Investment Portfolio) reduced by the amount of any expenses reasonably incurred by Parent and its Subsidiaries in the collection and payment of such amounts or as a result of the ownership of such Investment Portfolio or resulting from compensatory payments made pursuant to this Section 3.8(b), in each case, to the extent reasonably deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes, multiplied by (ii) the highest combined corporate U.S. federal and state income tax rate applicable to such gain or income and in effect for the taxable year in which such income or gain is included in taxable income of Parent (such product, the “Net Earn-Out Tax”) over (B) the aggregate Net Earn-Out Tax that reduced any prior Earn-Out Amount. The calculation of the Earn-Out Amount as made by Parent in good faith shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement absent manifest error; provided, that Parent shall provide the CP V Investors and the HFCP VII Investors and their respective designated representatives with supporting documentation relating to such calculations prior to finalizing such calculations and shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by such persons.
(c)    Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.8(b) to the contrary: (i) if, at the time that an Earn-Out Amount is to be paid to the Pre-Closing Holders pursuant to Section 3.8(b), the Company determines that there is a Commitment Funding Shortfall, all or a portion of such Earn-Out Amount equal to the lesser of (x) the entire portion of such Earn-Out Amount and (y) the Commitment Funding Shortfall shall be set aside in a reserve account and not paid to the Pre-Closing Holders; (ii) after all Investment Portfolio commitments have been fully funded, Buyer shall promptly (and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days) pay or cause to be paid to each Pre-Closing Holder an amount equal to the product of (x) the amount (if any) of the remaining Reserve Account at such time multiplied by (y) such holder’s applicable Earn-Out Percentage determined at the time of such payment, less any applicable withholding tax and without interest; and (iii) no Pre-Closing Holder shall be entitled to receive any portion of any Earn-Out Amount that is set aside and not paid pursuant to clause (i) except to the extent provided in clause (ii). For the avoidance of doubt, any Earn-Out Amount that is set aside in a reserve account pursuant to this Section 3.8(c) shall apply on a pro rata basis to all Pre-Closing Holders based on their respective Earn-Out Percentages determined at the time that such amounts are set aside.
3.9    Company Tax Benefits.
24
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

(a)    Subject to Sections 3.9(d) and 3.10, after the Closing, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid within fifteen (15) Business Days after (i) to the extent a Company Tax Benefit is realized by way of a reduction in cash income Taxes payable by Parent in accordance with this Section 3.9, the date of Parent’s filing a Section 3.9 Return (as defined below) or (ii) to the extent a Company Tax Benefit is realized by way of a refund in accordance with this Section 3.9, receiving the applicable Tax refund relating to a Section 3.9 Return, to each Pre-Closing Holder (including each Rollover Seller) an amount, without interest, equal to (x) the product of (A) the amount of such Company Tax Benefit with respect to the taxable period covered by such Section 3.9 Return, multiplied by (B) such holder’s Earn-Out Percentage, less (y) any applicable withholding Taxes. The determination and calculation of any Company Tax Benefit made by Parent in good faith shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement absent manifest error; provided that, Parent shall provide the CP V Investors and the HFCP VII Investors and their respective designated representatives with supporting documentation relating to such calculations prior to finalizing such calculations and shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by such persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments under this Section 3.9(a) shall be reduced until the cumulative amount of such reduction in payments equals the Assumed Payroll Cost Amount.
(b)    For purposes of this Agreement:
(i)    “Adjusted Federal Tax Rate” for a taxable period means the sum of (A) the Applicable Federal Tax Rate for such period and (B) the product (expressed as a percentage) of (1) one minus the rate (expressed as a decimal) described in clause (A) and (2) the highest combined state income tax rate applicable to Parent; provided that, with respect to any Change of Control Payment, such highest combined state income tax rate shall mean such rate for the taxable year in which the Change of Control Transaction occurs.
(ii)    “Applicable Federal Tax Rate” for a taxable period shall mean the marginal corporate U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to Parent for such period; provided that, with respect to any Change of Control Payment, such rate shall mean the marginal corporate U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to Parent for the taxable year in which the Change of Control Transaction occurs.
(iii)    “Change of Control Transaction” means a “change of control” as defined in the definitive documentation for the Debt Financing.
(iv)    “Change of Control Payment” shall mean an amount equal to the product of (i) all Excess Tax Deductions with respect to which a Company Tax Benefit payment has not previously been made to the Pre-Closing Holders pursuant to Section 3.9(a), whether or not the related Tax benefits have actually been realized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the date of the Change of Control Transaction and whether or not such Tax benefits are reasonably expected to be realized by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by or after the date of the Change of Control Transaction, multiplied by (ii) the Adjusted Federal Tax Rate.
(v)    “Company Tax Benefit” realized in respect of a taxable period covered by a Section 3.9 Return shall be an amount equal to the product of (A) the excess, if any, of
25
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

(1) Hypothetical Base Income for such taxable period over (2) the greater of (x) Hypothetical Reduced Income for such taxable period and (y) zero multiplied by (B) the Adjusted Federal Tax Rate; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for purposes of determining the amount of Company Tax Benefits for purposes of this Section 3.9, the cumulative excess of (1) over (2) in the clause (A) of this definition shall not exceed the Assumed Transaction Tax Deduction Amount. If more than one Section 3.9 Return is filed for the same taxable period (for example, if a Section 3.9 Return is filed to amend a previously filed Section 3.9 Return), the Company Tax Benefit for any such subsequent Section 3.9 Return shall be reduced (but not below zero) by the sum of all Company Tax Benefits previously calculated for the same taxable period in respect of all prior Section 3.9 Returns for such taxable period.
(vi)    “Excess Tax Deductions” shall mean, for any taxable year, the excess of the Assumed Transaction Tax Deduction Amount over the cumulative Realized Tax Deductions for all prior taxable years beginning with the taxable year including the Closing.
(vii)    "Hypothetical Base Income” shall mean, for any taxable year, the U.S. federal taxable income or loss of Parent and its Subsidiaries for such taxable year using the same methods, elections, conventions and similar practices used on the relevant Section 3.9 Return, but adjusted by excluding any deduction for state income taxes; provided, that, (i) for the taxable year that includes the Closing Date, the amount of Hypothetical Base Income shall be increased by an amount equal to the Assumed Transaction Tax Deduction Amount and (ii) for each subsequent taxable year, Hypothetical Base Income shall be calculated without taking into account any Excess Tax Deductions.
(viii)    “Hypothetical Reduced Income” for a taxable year shall mean the amount equal to (A) the Hypothetical Base Income for such taxable year minus (B)(1) for the taxable year including the Closing Date, the Assumed Transaction Tax Deduction Amount and (2) for each subsequent taxable year, the Excess Tax Deductions.
(ix)    “Realized Tax Deductions” means, with respect to any taxable year, the excess, if any, of (A) Hypothetical Base Income for such taxable year over (B) the greater of (1) Hypothetical Reduced Income for such taxable year or (2) zero.
(x)    “Section 3.9 Return” shall mean a U.S. federal income Tax Return (other than an estimated Tax Return) that includes (or reflects items of income or other Tax attributes of) Parent (which, for the avoidance of doubt, after the Effective Time means the Surviving Corporation) or any of its Subsidiaries that is filed or amended after the Closing Date (including any amended Tax Return and any Internal Revenue Service Form 1139 or similar Tax Return that claims a refund), in each case, that reports Tax items relevant to the calculation of a Company Tax Benefit for any taxable period. For the avoidance of doubt, a Section 3.9 Return shall not include a Tax Return for a taxable period ending prior to the taxable year that includes the Closing Date.
(c)    The parties agree that any payment made pursuant to this Section 3.9 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Merger Consideration or the consideration payable for Rollover
26
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

Shares, as applicable, for all Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The parties further agree that Parent and its Subsidiaries shall claim a refund of Taxes and not a credit against future Taxes in connection with any Section 3.9 Return if claiming such a refund would accelerate the timing of payments made pursuant to this Section 3.9 and to the extent such a refund is reasonably available.
(d)    No later than the date of the Change of Control Transaction, Parent shall pay or cause to be paid to each Pre-Closing Holder an amount equal to (x) the product of (A) the sum of the Change of Control Payment multiplied by (B) such holder’s Earn-Out Percentage, less (y) any applicable withholding Taxes. No later than twenty (20) Business Days prior to a Change of Control Transaction, the Company shall deliver to the Pre-Closing Holders a notice of the Change of Control Transaction and a schedule showing in reasonable detail the estimated calculation of the Change of Control Payment. The determination and calculation of any Change of Control Payment made by the Company in good faith shall be final and binding for all purposes of this Agreement absent manifest error; provided that, the Company shall provide the CP V Investors and the HFCP VII Investors and their respective designated representatives with supporting documentation relating to such calculations prior to finalizing such calculations and shall incorporate any reasonable comments provided by such persons. Upon the payment of the Change of Control Payment, all payment obligations of the Buyer and its Affiliates under this Section 3.9 shall be terminated and settled in full.
3.10    Post-Closing Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (other than as may be set forth in Section 3.9), in the event that the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith that payment of any portion of the Earn-Out Amount pursuant to Section 3.8 or Company Tax Benefits pursuant to Section 3.9 or the distribution by Jaguar Holding Company II or its Subsidiaries to the Company, Holdings or the Surviving Corporation of the cash necessary to make such payment, in each case (a) would violate any banking agreement or loan or other financial covenant of any indebtedness (including those incurred in connection with the Debt Financing) of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (including Jaguar Holding Company II), regardless of when such agreement, covenant or indebtedness was created, incurred or assumed (a “Debt Violation”), or (b) is reasonably likely to result in the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries not retaining sufficient restricted payment capacity under the terms of any banking agreement or loan or other financial covenant of any indebtedness of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries to permit interest payments with respect to the Debt Financing to be paid entirely in cash (a “Restricted Payment Limitation”), then the timing of such payment shall be delayed (and no interest shall accrue on such unpaid amounts) until such time that the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith that making such payment would not cause a Debt Violation or a Restricted Payment Limitation; provided, that (i) Parent shall use, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to use, commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not require (x) additional contributions of capital to the Company and its Subsidiaries or (y) any amendment to the Existing Indenture or Existing Credit Agreement or any other indebtedness of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries) to prevent the timely payment of amounts pursuant to Section 3.8 or Section 3.9 being a violation of any banking agreement or loan or other financial covenant of any indebtedness (including those incurred in connection with the Debt Financing) of the
27
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries (including Jaguar Holding Company II), (ii) without limiting clause (i), Parent shall not effect, or allow any of its Subsidiaries to effect, any dividend or distribution or other restricted payment (other than (x) by one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to one or more Subsidiaries of the Company or (y) by one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to the Company, Holdings or the Surviving Corporation of the cash necessary to make cash interest payments with respect to any indebtedness of the Surviving Corporation or its Subsidiaries) unless (A) the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation determines in good faith that such dividend or distribution is not expected to result in a delay of payments pursuant to this Section 3.10 and (B) no payments have been delayed (and not since made) pursuant to this Section 3.10, and (iii) any delay of payment pursuant to this Section 3.10 shall be proportionately applied to all Pre-Closing Holders (including Rollover Sellers) in accordance with such Person’s Earn-Out Percentage of the applicable payment.

5.6    Financial Ability. As of the date of this Agreement, Buyer has received (i) an executed equity commitment letter, dated as of the date hereof (the “Equity Commitment Letter”), from each Equity Financing Source (other than the Sponsor Rollover Sellers) and an executed Sponsor Rollover Agreement from each Sponsor Rollover Seller (together with the Equity Commitment Letters, the “Commitment Letters”), pursuant to which each Equity Financing Source has committed to provide equity financing in an aggregate amount as set forth therein, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein (the “Equity Financing” and together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”), which Commitment Letters provide that the Company is a third-party beneficiary thereto, in each case, solely for the Financing Purposes. A true and complete copy of each Commitment Letter has been previously provided to the Company. Buyer has fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees required by such Commitment Letters to be paid on or before the date hereof and will pay all additional fees as they become due. As of the date hereof, subject to the Remedies Exception, each Commitment Letter is a legal, valid and binding obligation of each party thereto and in full force and effect, has not been amended, modified, withdrawn, terminated or rescinded in any respect, and does not contain any material misrepresentation by Buyer and no event has occurred which (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) would reasonably be expected to constitute a breach thereunder on the part of Buyer or its Affiliates. No amendment or modification to, or withdrawal, termination or rescission of, any Commitment Letter is currently contemplated. The aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Commitment Letters, together with available cash of the Company and its Subsidiaries (assuming that the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.28 are true and correct) and the Debt Financing, will be sufficient for Buyer to complete the Merger and to satisfy all of the payment obligations of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation under this Agreement, including (x) paying the Funding Amount at Closing and the Deferred Payment Amount on the Deferred Payment Date, and (y) paying all related fees and expenses (collectively, the “Financing Purposes”). Buyer has not incurred any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, and neither of them is contemplating or aware of any obligation, commitment, restriction or liability of any kind, in either case which would reasonably be expected to impair or adversely affect such resources. As of the date hereof, there are no side letters or other agreements, contracts, arrangements or understandings related to the funding or investing, as applicable, of the Equity Financing other than as expressly set forth in the applicable Commitment Letters. Other than the Commitment Letters, no Contract between an Equity Financing Source, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, contains any conditions precedent or other contingencies (x) related to the funding of the full amount of the Equity Financing or any provisions that could reduce the aggregate amount of the Equity Financing set forth in any Commitment Letter or the aggregate proceeds contemplated by any Commitment Letter or (y) that could otherwise adversely affect the conditionality, enforceability or availability of any Commitment Letter with respect to all or any portion of the Equity Financing. As of the date hereof and assuming the conditions to closing set forth in Article X are satisfied at Closing, Buyer has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Equity Financing would not reasonably be expected to be satisfied on a timely basis or that the Equity Financing would not reasonably be expected to be available to Buyer on the date on which the Closing should occur pursuant to Section 2.4.

52
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, under Section 280G of the Code in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, including, as necessary, (a) soliciting the requisite approval of the Company’s direct or indirect stockholders of all or a portion of any such payments or benefits, in a manner that meets the shareholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5) of the Code and Treasury Regulation Section 1.280G-1, Q/A-7 (including providing such members adequate disclosure of all material facts concerning any such payments or benefit as provided in, and otherwise conducting such solicitation in conformity with, Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code) and (b) to the extent necessary, attempting to obtain a waiver from each such “disqualified individual” entitled to receive any payments or benefits which would reasonably be expected, individually or when aggregated with other payments or benefits, to cause or trigger any “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b) of the Code) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder of such disqualified individual’s right to receive the portion of such payments or benefits that would reasonably be expected to, individually or when aggregated with other payments or benefits, cause or trigger any “excess parachute payments” (within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code). The Company shall provide Buyer with drafts of all such solicitation materials and consents for review and comment prior to delivery to stockholders or disqualified individuals, as applicable. Prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Buyer, reasonably satisfactory evidence that a vote of the Company’s stockholders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.6 and whether or not the requisite number of stockholder votes consenting to such benefits and payments was obtained with respect to such benefits and payments.

(b)    Buyer shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to (i) obtain termination or expiration of the waiting period under the HSR Act and to receive such other approvals, consents and clearances as may be necessary, proper or advisable under any Approval Laws, in each case, as soon as practicable (but in any event prior to the Termination Date), (ii) furnish to the Company all information required for any application or other filing to be made pursuant to any Law in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, to the extent permitted by Law, responding to any reasonable requests for copies of documents filed with Buyer’s prior filings), and (iii) otherwise cooperate with the Company in connection with any filing and in connection with resolving any investigation or other inquiry of any Governmental Authority. In connection therewith, if any Action is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) challenging any transaction contemplated by this Agreement as in violation of any Approval Law, Buyer shall use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action, including to prevent the entry in any Action brought by a Governmental Authority or any other Person of any Governmental Order which would prohibit, make unlawful or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer shall not, without the written consent of the Company, “pull-and-refile” pursuant to 16 C.F.R. 803.12 any filing made under the HSR Act, or take any similar action without prior written approval from the Company with respect to any filing made with any Governmental Authority.

(c)    The Surviving Corporation shall (i) waive, for each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents, any waiting period provision, payment requirement to avoid a waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement and any other restriction that would prevent immediate or full participation under the welfare plans of the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsi5diaries applicable to such Continuing Employee to the extent
55
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

such waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement or other restriction would not have been applicable to such Continuing Employee under the terms of the welfare plans of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and (ii) give full credit under the welfare plans of Buyer and its Subsidiaries applicable to each Continuing Employee and his or her dependents for all co-payments and deductibles satisfied prior to the Closing in the same plan year as the Closing, and for any lifetime maximums, as if there had been a single continuous employer.

Parent, Holdings and Buyer shall each use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and do, or cause to be done, as promptly as possible, all things necessary, proper or advisable to arrange and obtain the Equity Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Commitment Letters and the Debt Financing, including using reasonable best efforts to, as promptly as possible, (i) satisfy, or cause to be satisfied, on a timely basis all conditions to Holdings and Buyer obtaining the Financing set forth therein, (ii) negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions that are acceptable to Buyer, (iii) timely prepare the necessary offering circulars, private placement memoranda, or other offering documents or marketing materials with respect to the Debt Financing, (iv) consummate the Financing at or prior to Closing (except for the Deferred Payment Amount, which will be paid on the Deferred Payment Date) and (v) take any action requested by Buyer in connection with obtaining the Debt Financing. Parent, Holdings and Buyer shall give each other and the Company prompt written notice (A) of any breach or default (or any event or circumstance that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to result in breach or default) by any party to any Commitment Letter of which Parent, Holdings or Buyer becomes aware, (B) if and when Parent, Holdings or Buyer becomes aware that any portion of the Financing contemplated by any Commitment Letter or the Debt Financing may not be available for the Financing Purposes, (C) of the receipt of any written notice or other written communication from any Person with respect to any (1) actual or potential breach, default, termination or repudiation by any party to any Commitment Letter or (2) material dispute or disagreement between or among any parties to any Commitment Letter (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any ordinary course negotiations with respect to the terms of the Financing), and (D) of any expiration or termination of any Commitment Letter. Without limiting the foregoing, Parent, Holdings and Buyer shall keep each other and the Company informed on a reasonably current basis in reasonable detail of the status of their efforts to arrange the Financing and provide to each other and the Company executed copies of the
56
041945-0274-16051-Active.21513949.1

definitive documents related to the Financing (provided that any fee letters, engagement letters or other agreements that, in accordance with customary practice, are confidential by their terms, and that do not affect the conditionality or amount of the Financing, may be redacted so as not to disclose such terms that are so confidential) and copies of any of the written notices or communications described in the preceding sentence. Parent, Holdings and Buyer shall (1) comply in all material respects with each Commitment Letter and each definitive agreement with respect thereto, (2) enforce their rights under each Commitment Letter, and (3) not permit, without the prior written consent of the Company (and, with respect to the Debt Financing, the prior written consent of Buyer), any material amendment or modification to be made to, or any termination, rescission or withdrawal of, or any material waiver of any provision or remedy under, any Commitment Letter, if such amendment, modification or waiver (individually or in the aggregate with any other amendments, modifications or waivers) would reasonably be expected to (x) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing thereunder, or (y) impose any new or additional condition, or otherwise amend, modify or expand any condition, to the receipt of any portion of the Financing in a manner that would reasonably be expected to (I) materially delay or prevent the Closing Date, (II) make the funding of any portion of the Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Financing) less likely to occur or (III) adversely impact the ability of Buyer to enforce its rights against any other party to any Commitment Letter, the ability of Parent, Holdings, Buyer or Merger Sub to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or the likelihood of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. Parent, Holdings and Buyer shall provide notice to each other and the Company promptly upon receiving the Financing. Parent, Holdings and Merger Sub shall not take any action with respect to the Debt Financing without the prior consent of Buyer.

more Designated Persons in connection with one or more Post-Closing Matters (the “Post-Closing Representations”), and (ii) agrees that, in the event that a Post-Closing Matter arises, Prior Company Counsel may represent one or more Designated Persons in such Post-Closing Matter even though the interests of such Person(s) may be directly adverse to the Surviving Corporation or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries), and even though Prior Company Counsel may (i) have represented the Company or its Subsidiaries in a matter substantially related to such dispute or (ii) be currently representing the Surviving Corporation, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates on an unrelated matter.
(b)    Attorney-Client Privilege. Each of Buyer and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) waives and shall not assert, and agrees after the Closing to cause its (in the Buyer’s case, the Surviving Corporation’s) Affiliates to waive and to not assert, any attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product protection or expectation of client confidence with respect to any communication between any Prior Company Counsel, on the one hand, and any Designated Person or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Pre-Closing Designated Persons”), on the other hand, or any advice given to any Pre-Closing Designated Person by any Prior Company Counsel, to the extent occurring solely with respect to one or more Existing Representations (collectively, “Pre-Closing Privileges”) in connection with any Post-Closing Representation that involves a dispute between any Designated Person and one or more of Buyer, the Company and their respective Affiliates, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all rights to such Pre-Closing Privileges, and all rights to waive or otherwise control such Pre-Closing Privilege, shall be retained by the applicable Designated Person, and shall not pass to or be claimed or used by the Surviving Corporation or the Company, except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 12.16(b). Furthermore, each of the Surviving Corporation and the Company (on behalf of itself and its Affiliates) acknowledges and agrees that any advice primarily given to or communication primarily with any of the Designated Persons with respect to an Existing Representation shall not be subject to any joint privilege (whether or not the Company or one more of its Subsidiaries also received such advice or communication) and shall be owned solely by such Designated Persons. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between the Surviving Corporation or the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and a third party other than the applicable Designated Person that retained the Pre-Closing Privilege, on the other hand, the Company shall (and shall cause its Affiliates to) assert the Pre-Closing Privileges on behalf of the applicable Designated Persons to prevent disclosure of privileged materials to such third party; provided, however, that such privilege may be waived only with the prior written consent of the applicable Designated Person.
(c)    Miscellaneous. Buyer hereby acknowledges that it has had the opportunity (including on behalf of its Affiliates and the Company) to discuss and obtain adequate information concerning the significance and material risks of, and reasonable available alternatives to, the waivers, permissions and other provisions of this Agreement, including the opportunity to consult with counsel other than Prior Company Counsel. This Section 12.16 shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 12.16 may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of the applicable Designated Person and Prior Company Counsel affected thereby.
