AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 10, 2016, among ADOBE SYSTEMS INCORPORATED, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), TIGER ACQUISITION CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and TUBEMOGUL, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

WHEREAS, Parent has agreed to cause Merger Sub to commence a tender offer (as it may be amended from time to time as permitted under this Agreement, the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Share” and, collectively, the “Shares”), other than the Excluded Shares, at a price per Share equal to $14.00 (such amount, or any other amount per Share paid pursuant to the Offer and this Agreement, subject to any adjustment contemplated by Section 2.2(c), the “Offer Price”), net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Surviving Corporation”), in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”), and each issued and outstanding Share, other than any Excluded Share or Appraisal Share, that is not tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer will thereupon be canceled and converted into the right to receive cash in an amount equal to the Offer Price, without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of the Company (the “Company Board”) has unanimously adopted resolutions (i) determining that this Agreement, including the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, are fair to and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (ii) electing that this Agreement and the Transactions be expressly governed by Section 251(h) of the DGCL, (iii) adopting and approving this Agreement, declaring the advisability of this Agreement and approving the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, in accordance with the requirements of the DGCL, (iv) approving the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transactions, including the Offer and the Merger, and (v) recommending that the holders of Company Common Stock accept the Offer and tender their Shares pursuant to the Offer (such recommendation, the “Company Board Recommendation”), in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement;

WHEREAS, the board of directors of each of Parent and Merger Sub have adopted and approved this Agreement and declared it advisable for Parent and Merger Sub, respectively, to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the Offer, the Merger and the other Transactions, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein;


WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Merger shall be effected pursuant to Section 251(h) of the DGCL and shall, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, be consummated as soon as practicable following the Offer Acceptance Time; and

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and as a condition and inducement to Parent’s and Merger Sub’s willingness to enter into this Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company are executing and delivering Tender and Support Agreements in favor of Parent and Merger Sub, pursuant to which those stockholders, among other things, will agree to tender all outstanding shares of Company Common Stock beneficially owned by them to Merger Sub in the Offer.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1

THE OFFER AND THE MERGER

SECTION 1.1. The Offer.

(a) Commencement of the Offer. Provided that this Agreement shall not have been terminated in accordance with Article 8, as promptly as practicable but in no event later than ten Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) the Offer to purchase all of the outstanding Shares, other than the Excluded Shares, at a price per Share equal to the Offer Price, net to the seller in cash, without interest and subject to any required Tax withholding; provided, however, that Merger Sub shall not be required to commence the Offer if (i) the Company shall not be prepared to file immediately with the SEC, and to disseminate to holders of shares of Company Common Stock, the Schedule 14D-9, and (ii) any of the Offer Conditions set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) on Exhibit B are not then satisfied (but only to the extent, in the case of the Offer Condition set forth in clause (d) on Exhibit B, the covenants are required to be performed at or prior to the commencement of the Offer).

(b) Terms and Conditions of the Offer. The obligations of Merger Sub to, and of Parent to cause Merger Sub to, accept for payment, and pay for, any Shares validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of the Minimum Tender Condition and the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Exhibit B (the Minimum Tender Condition and the other conditions set forth in Exhibit B are referred to collectively as the “Offer Conditions”). The Offer shall be made by means of an offer to purchase that contains the terms set forth in this Agreement, the Minimum Tender Condition and the other Offer Conditions. Merger Sub expressly reserves the right to (i) increase the Offer Price, (ii) waive any Offer Condition or (iii) make any other changes in the terms and conditions of the Offer; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Company, neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall (A) reduce the Offer Price, (B) change or

 

-2-


waive the Minimum Tender Condition, (C) impose conditions or requirements to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions, (D) extend or otherwise change the Expiration Date in a manner other than as required or permitted by this Agreement, (E) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (F) decrease the maximum number of Shares sought to be purchased in the Offer, or (G) otherwise amend or modify any of the Offer Conditions or the other terms of the Offer in a manner that adversely affects any holder of Shares in its capacity as such. The Offer may not be withdrawn prior to its scheduled expiration (as such expiration may be extended or re-extended in accordance with this Agreement), unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1

(c) Expiration and Extension of the Offer. The initial expiration date of the Offer shall be one minute following 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time on the date that is twenty business days following the commencement of the Offer, determined in accordance with Rule 14d-1(g)(3) and Rule 14e-1(a) under the Exchange Act, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Parent and the Company (such date or subsequent date to which the expiration of the Offer is extended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the “Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject to the parties’ respective termination rights under Section 8, Merger Sub: (x) shall extend the Offer from time to time: (1) for any period required by any Law or any interpretation or position of the SEC applicable to the Offer; (2) for periods the length of which shall be specified by Merger Sub or Parent (not to exceed ten Business Days per extension) until any waiting period (and any extension thereof) applicable to the consummation of the Offer under the HSR Act will have expired or been terminated; and (3) at the request of the Company, if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived by Parent or Merger Sub, for periods the length of which shall be specified by Merger Sub or Parent (not to exceed ten Business Days per extension) to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied and (y) may extend the Offer from time to time, in its discretion (and without the consent of the Company or any other Person), if, as of the scheduled Expiration Date, any Offer Condition is not satisfied and has not been waived by Parent or Merger Sub, for periods the length of which shall be specified by Merger Sub or Parent (not to exceed ten Business Days per extension) to permit such Offer Condition to be satisfied; provided, however, that in no event shall Merger Sub be required or permitted (without the prior written consent of the Company) to extend the Offer to a date later than the Outside Date.

(d) Termination of the Offer. Except in connection with a valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article 8, and subject to its obligations to extend the Offer in accordance with Section 1.1(c), Merger Sub shall not terminate or withdraw the Offer prior to any scheduled Expiration Date without the prior written consent of the Company. In the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article 8, Merger Sub shall (and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to) promptly (and, in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours of such termination), irrevocably and unconditionally terminate the Offer and shall not acquire any Shares pursuant to the Offer. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub, Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of Merger Sub to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.

(e) Offer Documents. On the date of commencement of the Offer (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act), Parent and Merger Sub shall: (i) file with the SEC a tender offer statement on Schedule TO with respect to the Offer (together with all amendments and supplements thereto and including exhibits thereto, the “Schedule TO”), which shall contain an offer to purchase and a related letter of transmittal, summary advertisement, notice of guaranteed delivery and other ancillary offer documents pursuant to which the Offer shall be made (such Schedule TO and the documents included therein pursuant to which the Offer shall be made, together with any supplements or amendments thereto, the “Offer Documents”) and (ii) take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares, as and to the extent required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws. Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the Offer Documents (i) to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable U.S. federal securities laws and (ii) on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Shares, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by Parent or Merger Sub with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of the Company in writing specifically for inclusion in the Offer Documents. Each of Parent, Merger Sub and the Company shall promptly correct any information provided by it or on its behalf specifically for inclusion in the Schedule TO or the other Offer Documents if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule TO and, as applicable, the other Offer Documents and to cause the Schedule TO as so amended and supplemented to be filed with the SEC and the other Offer Documents as so amended or supplemented to be disseminated to the holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws. Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, the Company and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Offer Documents and any amendments thereto prior to filing such documents with the SEC or dissemination of such documents to the holders of Shares. Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, Parent and Merger Sub shall provide the Company and its counsel with a copy of any written comments or telephonic notification of any oral comments that Parent, Merger Sub or their counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents promptly after the receipt of such comments (and shall give the Company prompt telephonic notice of any material discussions with the SEC staff), shall consult with the Company and its counsel prior to responding to such comments, and shall provide to the Company and its counsel a copy of any written responses thereto of Parent or Merger Sub or their counsel and telephonic notice of any oral responses or discussions with the SEC staff. Unless the Company Board shall have effected a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, the Company shall promptly furnish to Parent and Merger Sub all information concerning the Company, any Company Subsidiary and the Company’s stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 1.1(e).

(f) Funds. Without limiting the generality of Section 9.9, Parent shall provide or cause to be provided to Merger Sub on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer and this Agreement, Merger Sub shall, and Parent shall cause Merger Sub to, pay for all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (other than Shares tendered pursuant to guaranteed delivery procedures that have not yet been delivered in settlement or satisfaction of such guarantee) that Merger Sub becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer as soon as practicable after the expiration of the Offer. Parent and Merger Sub shall, and each of Parent and Merger Sub shall ensure that all of their respective Affiliates shall, tender any Shares held by them into the Offer.

The Company shall cause the Schedule 14D-9 (i) to comply in all material respects with the Exchange Act and other applicable Laws and (ii) on the date first filed with the SEC and on the date first published, sent or given to the holders of Shares, not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, except that no covenant is made by the Company with respect to information supplied by or on behalf of Parent or Merger Sub in writing specifically for inclusion in the Schedule 14D-9. Each of the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information will have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Schedule 14D-9 and to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so amended or supplemented to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to the holders of Company Common Stock, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable Laws. Parent and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the Schedule 14D-9 and any amendments and supplements thereto prior to filing such documents with the SEC or dissemination of such documents to the holders of Shares. The Company shall provide Parent and Merger Sub and its counsel with a copy of any written comments or telephonic notification of any oral comments that the Company or its counsel may receive from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after the receipt of such comments (and shall give Parent prompt telephonic notice of any material discussions with the SEC staff), shall consult with Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel prior to responding to such comments, and shall provide to Parent and Merger Sub and their counsel a copy of any written responses thereto and telephonic notice of any oral responses or discussions with the SEC staff. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Company in the preceding two sentences of this Section 1.2(b) shall not apply from and after the time the Company Board effects a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in accordance with Section 6.4.

SECTION 1.3. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with Section 251(h) of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease, and the Company will continue as the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 1.4. Effects of the Merger. The Merger will have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.

SECTION 1.5. Closing. The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at 8:00 a.m. (East Coast time) on the same date as the Offer Acceptance Time, except if the condition set forth in Section 7.1 will not be satisfied or waived by such date, in which case on no later than the first Business Day on which Section 7.1 is satisfied or waived, at the offices of DLA Piper LLP (US), 2000 University Avenue, East Palo Alto, California 94303, unless another time, date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto (such date upon which the Closing occurs, the “Closing Date”).

SECTION 1.6. Consummation of the Merger. As soon as practicable on the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall (a) cause the Merger to be consummated by filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a certificate of merger or other appropriate documents (in any such case, the “Certificate of Merger”) in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required under the DGCL and (b) take all other necessary or appropriate actions to cause the Merger to be effected under Section 251(h) of the DGCL without the adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company. The Merger shall become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with such Secretary of State, or at such later time as Parent and the Company shall agree and specify in the Certificate of Merger (the time and date the Merger becomes effective being the “Effective Time” and “Effective Date,” respectively).

SECTION 1.7. Organizational Documents; Directors and Officers. The certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended at the Effective Time as mutually agreed by the Company and Parent, and as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein and under the DGCL. The bylaws of Merger Sub, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided therein and under the DGCL. The directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation and shall serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be. The officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation and shall serve until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors have been duly elected or appointed and qualified, as the case may be.

ARTICLE 2

EFFECT OF THE MERGER ON THE CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CONSTITUENT

CORPORATIONS; EXCHANGE OF CERTIFICATES

SECTION 2.1. Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of shares of Merger Sub capital stock, each share of Merger Sub capital stock shall be converted into and become one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation.

SECTION 2.2. Conversion of Company Common Stock At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any holder of Shares:

(a) Subject to Section 2.2(c), each Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any Excluded Shares or Appraisal Shares) shall be canceled and shall be converted automatically into the right to receive the Offer Price in cash without interest thereon (the “Merger Consideration”), subject to any withholding of Taxes required by applicable Laws. As of the Effective Time, all such Shares will no longer be outstanding and will automatically be canceled and will cease to exist, and each holder of a Share will cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration upon surrender of the Certificate or uncertificated Shares (the Uncertificated Shares) in accordance with Section 2.3, without interest.

(b) Each Share held in the treasury of the Company and each Share owned by Merger Sub, Parent or any wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent or of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time will be canceled without any conversion thereof and no payment or distribution will be made with respect thereto (such canceled shares, the “Excluded Shares”).

(c) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding Shares are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, divisions, or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then all calculations provided for that are based on a number of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, including the Offer Price and Merger Consideration, will be appropriately adjusted to provide the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

 

-7-


SECTION 2.3. Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. At or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with such bank or trust company as may be designated by Parent and reasonably acceptable to the Company (the “Exchange Agent”), which will provide for the payment of Merger Consideration in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.3. Parent shall, or shall take all steps necessary to enable and cause the Surviving Corporation to, deposit with the Exchange Agent as of the Effective Time, for the benefit of the holders of Shares and Non-Employee Equity Awards, for payment by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Article 2, the cash necessary to pay for the Shares and Non-Employee Equity Awards converted into the right to receive consideration in connection with the Merger (the “Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Exchange Procedures. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time but in any event not later than five Business Days thereafter, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (the “Certificates”) (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Parent may reasonably specify) and (ii) instructions for use in surrendering the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Each holder of record of Shares that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration will be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration in respect of the Company Common Stock represented by a Certificate or Uncertificated Share, upon (x) surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, or (y) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request), in the case of a book-entry transfer of Uncertificated Shares. Upon payment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2, each Certificate or Uncertificated Share so surrendered or transferred will forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered or the Uncertificated Shares so transferred is registered if, in the case of a Certificate, such Certificate will be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and, in each case, the transferor provides the Exchange Agent and Parent all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and establishes to the satisfaction of the Exchange Agent and Parent that any applicable transfer or other Taxes have been paid. Each Certificate and each Uncertificated Share will be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon surrender in accordance with this Section 2.3 the consideration into which the Shares will have been converted pursuant to Section 2.2. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable to holders of Certificates or Uncertificated Shares pursuant to the provisions of this Article 2.

 

-8-


(c) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. The Merger Consideration paid upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 will be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the Shares theretofore represented by such Certificates or Uncertificated Shares, subject, however, to the Surviving Corporation’s obligation to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by the Company on such Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or prior to the date of this Agreement and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and there will be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Uncertificated Shares are presented to the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they will be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2, except as otherwise provided by Law.

(d) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of Certificates, Uncertificated Shares or Non-Employee Equity Awards one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Parent, upon demand, and any such holders who have not theretofore complied with this Article 2 will thereafter look only to Parent for payment of their claim for Merger Consideration.

(e) No Liability. None of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Exchange Agent will be liable to any Person in respect of any cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate, Uncertificated Shares or Non-Employee Equity Awards will not have been exchanged in accordance with this Article 2 prior to five years after the Effective Time (or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any amounts payable pursuant to this Article 2 would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Authority), any such amounts will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Corporation, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(f) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate will have 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 Parent, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate (which will not exceed the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such Certificate), the Exchange Agent shall issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration with respect thereto pursuant to this Agreement.

(g) Withholding Rights. Each of the Surviving Corporation, Parent and Merger Sub shall be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause the Exchange Agent to deduct and withhold) from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Shares, Options or RSUs such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the applicable tax Law. Each payor shall take all action that may be necessary to ensure that any such amounts so withheld are promptly and properly remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Parent and paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of the Shares in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by Parent.

SECTION 2.4. Company Options; RSUs.

(a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any outstanding Option, each Option that is outstanding, unexercised and vested (or required to vest as a result of the Merger), subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 2.4, will terminate and be cancelled at the Effective Time and each holder of an Option will be entitled to receive from the Company, and will receive as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, in settlement of each Option an Option Cash Amount. The “Option Cash Amount” will be equal to the net amount of (A) the product of (i) the excess, if any, of the Merger Consideration over the applicable exercise price per Share otherwise issuable upon exercise of such Option, multiplied by (ii) the number of Shares subject to such Option, less (B) any applicable withholdings for Taxes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise price per Share of any Option equals or exceeds the Merger Consideration, effective as of the Effective Time, such Option shall automatically be cancelled, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof, and have no further force or effect.

(b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any outstanding RSU, each RSU that is outstanding, unsettled and vested (or required to vest as a result of the Merger), subject to the terms and conditions set forth below in this Section 2.4, will terminate and be canceled at the Effective Time and each holder of an RSU will be entitled to receive from the Company, and will receive as soon as practicable following the Effective Time, in settlement of each RSU an RSU Cash Amount. The “RSU Cash Amount” will be equal to the product of (i) the total number of Shares issuable in settlement of the RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time (taking into account any acceleration of vesting), multiplied by (ii) the Merger Consideration, less any applicable withholdings for Taxes.

(c) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of any holder of any outstanding Option: (i) each Option that is outstanding, unexercised, has an exercise price per share that is less than the Merger Consideration and is not vested (or required to vest as a result of the Merger) (an “Unvested In-the-Money Option”) and is held by a Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time; and (ii) each RSU that is outstanding and is not vested (or required to vest as a result of the Merger) and is held by a Current Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, an “Unvested RSU”), shall, in the case of each of clauses “(i)” and “(ii),” be assumed or replaced and become: (A) in the case of each such Unvested In-the-Money Option, a stock option to purchase shares of the Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Parent (“Parent Common Stock”) and (B) in the case of each Unvested RSU, a restricted stock unit in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock.

(d) From and after the Effective Time: (i) each Unvested In-the-Money Option assumed or replaced by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent Common Stock; (ii) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying each such Unvested In-the-Money Option shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Unvested In-the-Money Option by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (iii)

 

-10-


the per-share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each such Unvested In-the-Money Option shall be determined by dividing: (A) the exercise price per share of such Unvested In-the-Money Option, by (B) the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (iv) subject to the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Unvested In-the-Money Option is evidenced, any restriction on the exercise of such Unvested In-the-Money Option shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Unvested In-the-Money Option shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to such Unvested In-the-Money Option.

(e) From and after the Effective Time: (A) each Unvested RSU assumed or replaced by Parent will, upon the vesting thereof, become a restricted stock unit in respect of shares of Parent Common Stock; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying such Unvested RSU shall be determined by multiplying: (1) the number of shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Unvested RSU; by (2) the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (C) any restriction on the vesting or settlement or issuance of shares under such Unvested RSU shall continue in full force and effect, and the term, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Unvested RSU shall otherwise remain unchanged; provided, however, that Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to such Unvested RSU.

(f) Parent shall not assume any Options or RSUs, or substitute any Options or RSUs with an equivalent option, restricted stock unit or right, held by any individual who, at the Effective Time, is not a Current Employee (each, a “Non-Company Employee”). Each unvested Option held by a Non-Company Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated and treated as a vested Option in accordance with Section 2.4(a). Each unvested RSU held by a Non-Company Employee as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be accelerated and treated as a vested RSU in accordance with Section 2.4(b).

(g) At the Effective Time, if Parent elects to do so, Parent may assume any or all of the Stock Plans or merge any or all of the Stock Plan into any equity incentive plan of Parent. If Parent elects to so assume or merge any Stock Plan, then, under such Stock Plan, Parent shall be entitled to grant stock awards, to the extent permissible under applicable Law, using the share reserves of such Stock Plan as of the Effective Time, except that: (i) rather than any shares of Company Common Stock being covered by such awards, shares of Parent Common Stock will be covered by such awards; (ii) all references in any assumed Stock Plan to a number of shares of Company Common Stock shall be deemed amended to refer instead to a number of shares of Parent Common Stock determined by multiplying the number of referenced shares of Company Common Stock by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; and (iii) Parent’s board of directors or a committee thereof shall succeed to the authority and responsibility of the Company’s board of directors or any committee thereof with respect to the administration of such Stock Plan. Parent shall prepare and file with the SEC, no later than 30 days after the Closing Date, a registration statement on Form S-8 (or any successor form), if available for use by Parent, relating to the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable with respect to the Options

 

-11-


and RSUs assumed or replaced by Parent in accordance with Sections 2.4(d) and 2.4(e) and Parent shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement for so long as such assumed or replaced Options and RSUs remain outstanding.

(h) As soon as practicable following the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a holder of Options or RSUs a letter describing the treatment of and payment for or assumption of such equity awards pursuant to this Section 2.4 and, if applicable, providing instructions for use in obtaining payment therefor; provided, however, that the Company shall not mail any such notice without the prior review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) thereof by Parent.

(i) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time (but no later than the later of ten Business Days after the Effective Time or the first payroll date after the Effective Time), Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to pay the aggregate Merger Consideration, net of any applicable withholding Taxes, payable with respect to Options and RSUs through, to the extent applicable, the Surviving Corporation’s payroll to the holders of Options and RSUs; provided, however, that to the extent the holder of an Option or an RSU is not, and was not at any time during the vesting period of the Option or RSU, as applicable, a Company employee (each such Option or RSU a “Non-Employee Equity Award”), the consideration payable pursuant to Section 2.4(a) with respect to such Options or pursuant to Section 2.4(b) with respect to such RSUs will be paid by the Exchange Agent in the manner described in the letter referred to in Section 2.4(h).

(j) The Company shall take all actions necessary or required under the ESPP and applicable Law to, contingent on the Effective Time, (i) ensure that, except for the 6-month offering period under the ESPP that commenced on August 17, 2016, no offering period or purchase period will be authorized or commenced on or after the date of this Agreement and (ii) if the Closing will occur prior to the end of the offering period in existence under the ESPP on the date of this Agreement, cause the rights of participants in the ESPP with respect to any such offering period (and purchase period thereunder) then underway under the ESPP to be determined by treating the last Business Day prior to the Offer Acceptance Time as the last day of such offering period (such date or the date such offering period terminates by its terms, if earlier, the “Final Purchase Date”) and purchase period and by making such other pro-rata adjustments as may be necessary to reflect the shortened offering period and purchase period but otherwise treating such shortened offering period and purchase period as a fully effective and completed offering period and purchase period for all purposes under the ESPP. The Company shall cause the exercise (as of the Final Purchase Date) of each outstanding purchase right under the ESPP and terminate the ESPP in its entirety effective as of the Offer Acceptance Time, contingent upon the Effective Time. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all actions (including, if appropriate, amending the terms of the ESPP) that are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Section 2.4(j). In any event, the Company Board shall terminate the ESPP prior to the Effective Time

(k) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Stock Plans and otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.4 and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, holders of Options, RSUs and outstanding purchase rights under the ESPP have no rights with respect thereto form and after the Effective Time other than those specifically provided in this Section 2.4.

(l) The Parent and the Company may agree to treat equity compensation held by Company employees subject to non-U.S. law in another manner to take into account applicable non-U.S. law or Tax or employment considerations.

SECTION 2.5. Appraisal Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shares that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that are held by any Person who (i) is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such Shares pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, Section 262 of the DGCL (“Section 262”) and (ii) as of the Effective Time, has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost such Person’s rights to such appraisal and payment under the DGCL with respect to such Shares (“Appraisal Shares”), will not be converted into the right to receive Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.2(a), but rather the holders of Appraisal Shares will be entitled to be paid the fair value of such Appraisal Shares in accordance with Section 262; provided, however, that if any such holder will fail to perfect or otherwise will waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 262, then the right of such holder to be paid the fair value of such holder’s Appraisal Shares will cease and such Appraisal Shares will be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into, and to have become exchangeable solely for the right to receive, Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.2(a). Within ten days after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation will provide each of the holders of Shares with the notice contemplated by Section 262 of the DGCL.

SECTION 2.6. Further Action. If at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of either of the Constituent Corporations, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation are fully authorized in the name of each Constituent Corporation or otherwise to take, and shall take, all such lawful and necessary action.

(b) The provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement dated October 19, 2016, between Parent and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) will remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, and all information disclosed pursuant to this Section 5.2 will be subject to the obligations of the Confidentiality Agreement.

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

SECTION 6.1. Company Board Recommendation.

(a) Subject to Section 6.1(b), the Company hereby consents to the inclusion of a description of the Company Board Recommendation in the Offer Documents. During the Pre-Closing Period, neither the Company Board nor any committee thereof shall (i)(A) withdraw (or

 

-39-


modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), or publicly propose to withdraw (or modify in a manner adverse to Parent or Merger Sub), the Company Board Recommendation or (B) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or publicly propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, any Takeover Proposal (any action described in this clause (i) being referred to as a “Company Adverse Change Recommendation”); (ii) fail to publicly reaffirm its recommendation of this Agreement within ten Business Days after Parent so requests in writing, provided that, unless a Takeover Proposal will have been publicly disclosed, Parent may only make such request once every thirty (30) days; (iii) approve, recommend or declare advisable, or propose to approve, recommend or declare advisable, or allow the Company to execute or enter into any Contract with respect to any Takeover Proposal, or requiring, or reasonably expected to cause, the Company to abandon, terminate, delay or fail to consummate, or that would otherwise materially impede, interfere with or be inconsistent with, the Transactions (other than an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement) or (iv) take or fail to take any formal action or make or fail to make any recommendation or public statement in connection with a tender or exchange offer by a third party, other than a recommendation against such offer or a “stop, look and listen” communication by the Company Board (or a committee thereof) to the stockholders of the Company pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act (or any substantially similar communication) (it being understood that the Company Board (or a committee thereof) may refrain from taking a position with respect to a Takeover Proposal until the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the commencement of a tender or exchange offer in connection with such Takeover Proposal without such action being considered a violation of this Section 6.1).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, at any time prior to accepting, for the first time, for payment and paying for such number of Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer as satisfies the Minimum Tender Condition (the “Offer Acceptance Time”):

(i) if the Company has received a bona fide written Takeover Proposal (which Takeover Proposal did not result from or arise out of a breach of Section 6.6) from any Person that has not been withdrawn and, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisor, the Company Board has determined, in good faith, that such Takeover Proposal is a Superior Proposal, then (x) the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, or (y) the Company may terminate this Agreement and enter into a Specified Agreement with respect to such Superior Proposal, if and only if: (A) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(i), in each case, with respect to such Superior Proposal (a “Superior Proposal Determination Notice”) (which notice shall have included a copy of the definitive Specified Agreement (in the case of clause “(y)”), the identity of the Person making such Superior Proposal and a summary of the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal) at least four Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation or termination (which notice will not constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation) (the “Superior Proposal Notice Period”); and (C) (1) during the Superior Proposal Notice Period, Parent may propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make

 

-40-


other proposals so that such Takeover Proposal would cease to constitute a Superior Proposal, and the Company shall have made its Representatives available to, and negotiated in good faith with, Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposals, if any, during such period, and (2) after the end of such period, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, and after consultation with its outside legal counsel and financial advisor, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, (I) that such Takeover Proposal still is a Superior Proposal and (II) that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(e)(i) would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(i) will also apply to every material amendment to any Takeover Proposal and require that a new Superior Proposal Determination Notice be delivered to Parent in accordance with clause “(B)” above; provided, however, that the “matching” period described in clauses “(B)” and “(C)” shall be two Business Days rather than the initial four Business Day period); and

(ii) other than in connection with a Takeover Proposal, the Company Board may make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to a Change in Circumstance, if and only if: (A) the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law; (B) the Company shall have given Parent prior written notice of its intention to make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation as a result of such Change in Circumstance (a “Change in Circumstance Determination Notice”) (which notice shall have included a reasonably detailed summary of such Change in Circumstance) at least four Business Days prior to making any such Company Adverse Change Recommendation (which notice will not constitute a Company Adverse Change Recommendation) (the “Change in Circumstance Notice Period”); and (C) (1) during the Change in Circumstance Notice Period, Parent may propose revisions to the terms of this Agreement or make other proposals so that such Change in Circumstance would no longer necessitate a Company Adverse Change Recommendation, and the Company shall have made its Representatives available to, and negotiated in good faith with, Parent with respect to such proposed revisions or other proposals, if any, during such period, and (2) after the end of such period, after considering the results of such negotiations and giving effect to the proposals made by Parent, if any, and after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisor, the Company Board shall have determined, in good faith, that the failure to make the Company Adverse Change Recommendation in response to such Change in Circumstance would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the Company’s stockholders under applicable Law (for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 6.1(b)(ii) will also apply to every material change to the facts and circumstances relating to such Change in Circumstance and require that a new Change in Circumstance Determination Notice be delivered to Parent in accordance with clause “(B)” and “(C)” above, provided, however, that the “matching” period described in clauses “(B)” shall be two Business Days rather than the initial four Business Day period).

SECTION 6.2. Employee and Employee Benefit Matters.

(a) Parent hereby acknowledges and agrees that a “change of control” (or similar phrase) within the meaning of each Company Employee Benefit Plan, as applicable, will occur as of the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, Parent agrees to honor in accordance with their terms all Company Employee Benefit Plans listed in Section 6.2 of the Company Disclosure Letter or filed as exhibits to the Available Company SEC Documents and all accrued benefits vested thereunder; it being understood and agreed that nothing in this Section 6.2(a) will prevent Parent from amending or terminating any Company Employee Benefit Plan or other agreement in accordance with its terms and applicable Law.

(b) As of the Closing, the Surviving Corporation or one of the Company Subsidiaries shall continue to employ the employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries as of the Effective Time. For a period of one year following the Effective Time, Parent agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to those employees of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries who are employed by them as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and who continue to be actively employed by the Surviving Corporation (or any Affiliate thereof) during such one-year period the base salary (or base wages, as the case may be) no less favorable than the base salary (or base wages, as applicable) provided by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to such employees immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided that Parent shall be under no obligation to retain any employee or group of employees of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries other than as required by applicable Law.

(c) For purposes of all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements maintained by or contributed to by Parent and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation), Parent shall, or shall cause its Subsidiaries to, subject to applicable law and the terms of such plan, program or arrangement, cause each such plan, program or arrangement to treat the prior service with the Company and its Affiliates of each person who is an employee of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Closing (a “Company Employee”) (to the same extent such service is recognized under analogous plans, programs or arrangements of the Company or its Affiliates prior to the Closing) as service rendered to Parent or the Parent Subsidiaries, as the case may be, for purposes of eligibility to participate in and vesting thereunder (but not benefit accrual) and for sabbatical purposes; provided, however, that such crediting of service will not operate to duplicate any benefit or the funding of such benefit. With respect to each health or welfare benefit plan maintained by Parent and its Subsidiaries (including, after the Closing, the Surviving Corporation) for the benefit of Company Employees, Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) ensure that Company Employees will be given credit for any deductible or co-payment amounts paid in respect of the plan year in which the Closing occurs, to the extent that, following the Closing, they participate in any other health or welfare benefit plan for which deductibles or co-payments are required and (ii) waive any preexisting condition that was waived under the terms of any Company Employee Benefit Plan immediately prior to the Closing or waiting period limitation which would otherwise be applicable to a Company Employee on or after the Closing. Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall cause any accrued but unused vacation, sick leave or other paid time off (excluding sabbatical) that is accrued as of the Closing Date to be paid out to Company Employees through payroll following the Closing, less applicable withholding Taxes.

(d) If directed in writing by Parent prior to the Effective Time and, with respect to each plan that contains a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (a “401(k) Plan”), prior to the date on which the Acceptance Time occurs, the Company shall take (or cause to be taken) all actions reasonably determined by

 

-42-


Parent to be necessary or appropriate to terminate any such employee benefit plan, with such termination effective as of the business day immediately prior to the date on which the Offer Acceptance Time occurs with respect to any such 401(k) Plan. The Company shall provide Parent with evidence that such 401(k) Plan(s) have been timely terminated pursuant to resolutions of the board of directors of the Company or the Company Subsidiary, as the case may be. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Parent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such 401(k) Plan(s) as Parent may reasonably request.

(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall, or shall be construed so as to, (i) constitute an amendment or modification of any employee benefit plan; (ii) create any third party rights in any such current or former service provider of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof); or (iii) obligate Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company, the Company Subsidiaries following the Effective Time) to adopt or maintain any particular plan or program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time or prevent the Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Company and the Company Subsidiaries following the Effective Time) from modifying or terminating any such plan, program or other compensatory or benefits arrangement at any time.

SECTION 6.3. Efforts; Antitrust Filings.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, to file, or cause to be filed, all documents and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other parties in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable, under applicable Antitrust Laws and otherwise, to consummate and make effective the Transactions as soon as reasonably practicable, including (i) the obtaining of all necessary actions or nonactions, waivers, consents, clearances, decisions, declarations, approvals and expirations or terminations of waiting periods from Governmental Authorities (the “Governmental Consents”) and the making of all necessary registrations and filings and the taking of all steps as may be necessary to obtain any such Governmental Consents by or from, or to avoid an action or proceeding by, any Governmental Authority in connection with any Antitrust Law; (ii) the obtaining of all necessary consents, authorizations, approvals or waivers from third parties; and (iii) the execution and delivery of any additional instruments necessary to consummate the Transactions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall be required to agree to the payment of a consent fee, “profit sharing” payment or other consideration (including increased or accelerated payments), or the provision of additional security (including a guaranty), in connection with obtaining any consent pursuant to any Company Material Contract.

(b) By way of illustration and not limitation, the parties agree to use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, and to cause their Affiliates to take, all actions and steps requested or required by any Governmental Authority as a condition to granting any Governmental Consent, and to cause the prompt expiration or termination of any applicable waiting period and to resolve objections, if any, as the FTC and the DOJ, or other Governmental Authorities of any other jurisdiction for which Governmental Consents are sought with respect to the Transactions, so as to obtain such Governmental Consents, and to avoid the commencement

 

-43-


of a lawsuit by the FTC, the DOJ or other Governmental Authorities under Antitrust Laws, and to avoid the entry of, or to effect the dissolution of, any injunction, temporary restraining order or other order in any suit or proceeding which would otherwise have the effect of preventing the Closing or delaying the Offer Acceptance Time beyond the Expiration Date.

(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall (and shall cause their respective Affiliates, if applicable, to): (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten Business Days after the date hereof, make an appropriate filing of all Notification and Report forms as required by the HSR Act with respect to the Transactions; and (ii) cooperate with each other in determining whether, and promptly preparing and making, any other filings or notifications are required to be made with, or Governmental Consents are required to be obtained from, any other Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transactions.

(d) Without limiting the generality of anything contained in this Section 6.3, during the Pre-Closing Period, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) give the other parties prompt notice of the making or commencement of any request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding brought by a Governmental Authority or brought by a third party before any Governmental Authority, in each case, with respect to the Transactions, (ii) keep the other parties informed as to the status of any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iii) promptly inform the other parties of any communication to or from the FTC, DOJ or any other Governmental Authority in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, (iv) upon request, promptly furnish to the other party, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to outside counsel and consultants retained by such counsel, with copies of documents provided to or received from any Governmental Authority in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding (other than Item “4(c)” and “4(d)” documents as those terms are used in the rules and regulations under the HSR Act), (v) subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement to limit disclosure to counsel and outside consultants retained by such counsel, and to the extent reasonably practicable, consult in advance and cooperate with the other parties and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with any analysis, appearance, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding, and (vi) except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any Law, in connection with any such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding in respect of the Transactions, each party hereto shall provide advance notice of and permit authorized Representatives of the other party to be present at each meeting or conference relating to such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding and to have access to and be consulted in advance in connection with any argument, opinion or proposal to be made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with such request, inquiry, investigation, action or Legal Proceeding. Each party shall supply as promptly as practicable such information, documentation, other material or testimony that may reasonably be requested by any Governmental Authority, including by complying at the earliest reasonably practicable date with any reasonable request for additional information, documents or other materials received by any party or any of their respective Subsidiaries from any Governmental Authority in connection with such applications or filings for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Merger Sub shall pay all filing fees under the HSR Act and for any filings required under foreign

 

-44-


Antitrust Laws, but the Company shall bear its own costs for the preparation of any such filings. Neither party shall commit to or agree with any Governmental Authority to stay, toll or extend any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act, or pull and refile under the HSR Act, or other applicable Antitrust Laws, without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

SECTION 6.4. Public Statements. The initial press release relating to this Agreement will be a joint press release issued by the Company and Parent and thereafter, subject to Section 5.2, except for any disclosure required by Law or any listing agreement with a national securities exchange or trading market, the Company, Parent and Merger Sub shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult with each other prior to issuing, and to provide each other with the opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public announcement with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions (to the extent not previously issued or made in accordance with this Agreement).

SECTION 6.5. Notification of Certain Matters.

(a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company agrees to give prompt notice to Parent (i) upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate, or of any failure by the Company to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy, or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer or Merger to fail to be satisfied, respectively, except that no such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or the conditions to the obligations of Parent and Merger Sub to consummate the Offer or the Merger or the remedies available to the parties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to notify Parent of a breach of any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement pursuant to this Section will not constitute a breach of covenant in any material respect for purposes of paragraph (d) of Exhibit B.

(b) During the Pre-Closing Period, Parent agrees to give prompt notice to the Company (i) upon becoming aware that any representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate or of any failure by Parent to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it pursuant to this Agreement, in each case, if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy or failure would reasonably be expected to result in a Parent Material Adverse Effect, except that no such notification will affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of Parent or Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement or the remedies available to the parties under this Agreement.

SECTION 6.6. No Solicitation.

(a) Except as permitted by this Section 6.6, during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and the Company shall cause the Company Subsidiaries and the Representatives of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries not to, (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage the submission of, any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry, proposal, offer

 

-45-


or indication of interest that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal (a “Takeover Inquiry”), (ii) approve or recommend any Takeover Proposal, enter into any agreement, agreement-in-principle or letter of intent with respect to or accept any Takeover Proposal or Takeover Inquiry (or resolve to or publicly propose to do any of the foregoing), (iii) participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or furnish to any Person any information in connection with, or knowingly take any action to facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, any Takeover Proposal or Takeover Inquiry, or (iv) terminate, amend, waive or fail to enforce any rights under any “standstill” or other similar agreement between the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries and any Parent (other than Parent); provided, however, that prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, in response to an unsolicited written Takeover Proposal from a third party that has not been withdrawn and that the Company Board determines in good faith (after receiving the advice of its financial advisor and outside counsel) is, or could reasonably be expected to result in or lead to, a Superior Proposal, the Company and its Representatives may (x) furnish information with respect to the Company and the Company Subsidiaries to the person making such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives and afford access to the business, properties, assets, books, records or personnel of the Company and any Company Subsidiary, in each case, pursuant to an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement and (y) participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with such person making such Takeover Proposal and its Representatives (including to solicit a revised Takeover Proposal), in the case of each of clauses “(x)” and “(y),” if and only if: (1) there shall have been no material breach or violation of the terms of this Section 6.6(a) in connection with such person making such Takeover Proposal; (2) prior to taking any action contemplated in clauses “(x)” or “(y)” with respect to such person, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law; (3) contemporaneously with furnishing or making available any information to such person, the Company furnishes or makes available such information to Parent (to the extent not previously furnished or made available to Parent); and (4) the Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement between the Company and such person making such Takeover Proposal does not prohibit or restrict the Company in any way from complying with its disclosure obligations to Parent under Section 6.1 and Section 6.6 of this Agreement (without giving effect to the proviso at the end of Section 6.6(c)). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.6(a), during the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not be required to enforce, and shall be permitted to waive, any provision of any standstill or confidentiality agreement solely to the extent that such provision prohibits or purports to prohibit a confidential proposal being made to the Company Board (or any committee thereof), provided that the Company Board shall have determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that so enforcing or not waiving any such provision of any standstill or confidentiality agreement would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or the Company Board from (i) taking and disclosing to the holders of Company Common Stock a position contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) from making any disclosure to the holders of Company Common Stock if the Company Board has determined in good faith (after consultation with outside counsel) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to the

 

-46-


stockholders of the Company under applicable Law, or (iii) making any “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that: (A) this Section 6.6(b) shall not be deemed to permit the Company Board to make a Company Adverse Change Recommendation except as and to the extent permitted by Section 6.1(b); and (B) any such communication or disclosure shall be deemed to be a Company Adverse Change Recommendation unless it is accompanied by a statement of the Company Board expressly reaffirming the Company Board Recommendation in connection with such communication or disclosure.

(c) In addition to the other obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 6.6, the Company shall promptly (within one Business Day) notify Parent in writing of any Takeover Proposal or Takeover Inquiry (and of any material amendments or modifications thereto), or any request for information with respect to any Takeover Proposal or Takeover Inquiry, that is received during the Pre-Closing Period, including the material terms and conditions of any Takeover Proposal, Takeover Inquiry or request received during the Pre-Closing Period (unless the Takeover Proposal or Takeover Inquiry is in written form, in which case the Company shall give Parent a copy thereof and any material amendments or modifications thereto) and the identity of the Person making such Takeover Proposal, Takeover Inquiry or request); provided, however, nothing in this Section 6.6(c) shall require the Company to breach any confidentiality obligations of the Company in existence prior to the date of this Agreement to a Person making a Takeover Proposal that would preclude any of the disclosures contemplated by this Section 6.6(c) regarding such Person’s Takeover Proposal.

(d) The Company shall, and shall direct its Representatives to cease immediately all discussions and negotiations that commenced prior to the date of this Agreement regarding any Takeover Proposal or Takeover Inquiry. The Company also shall promptly (and in any event within three Business Days following the date hereof) (A) request in writing that each Person that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of acquiring the Company or any portion thereof to return or destroy all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, and (B) cease furnishing or making available any non-public information regarding the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries to such Person, including by prohibiting such Person from having access to any physical or electronic data rooms. Nothing in the Section 6.6(d) shall be deemed to prevent the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective Representatives from taking any action otherwise permitted by Section 6.6(a) through (c).

SECTION 6.7. Indemnification and Insurance.

(a) Parent and Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification by the Company now existing in favor of each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof or who becomes prior to the Effective Time an officer or director of the Company or any Company Subsidiary (each an “Indemnified Party”), with respect to actions or omissions taken by an Indemnified Party prior to the Effective Time in his or her capacity as an officer or director of the Company or a Company Subsidiary, as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws, in each case as in effect on the date of this Agreement, or pursuant to any indemnification agreements identified in Section 3.16(a)(x) of the Company Disclosure

 

-47-


Letter, in each case as in effect on the date hereof, copies of which have been Made Available to Parent, including provisions relating to the advancement of expenses incurred in the defense of any action or suit, will survive the Merger and will remain in full force and effect. From the Effective Time through the six year anniversary of the date on which the Effective Time occurs, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to abide by such indemnification obligations to the Indemnified Parties.

(b) Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain the Company’s officers’ and directors’ liability insurance policies, in effect on the date of this Agreement (the “D&O Insurance”), for a period of six years after the Effective Time, but only to the extent related to actions or omissions prior to the Effective Time; provided that (i) the Surviving Corporation may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms no less advantageous to such former directors or officers and (ii) such substitution will not result in gaps or lapses of coverage with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time; provided, further, that in no event will Parent or the Surviving Corporation be required to expend more than an amount per year equal to 300% of current annual premiums paid by the Company for such insurance (the “Maximum Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto; and provided, further, that if the amount of the annual premiums necessary to maintain or procure such insurance coverage exceeds the Maximum Amount, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall procure and maintain for such six-year period as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Maximum Amount. Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall have the right to cause coverage to be extended under the D&O Insurance by obtaining a six-year “tail” policy on terms and conditions no less advantageous than the D&O Insurance, and such “tail” policy will satisfy the provisions of this Section 6.7(b).

(c) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.7 will survive the consummation of the Merger and will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any Indemnified Party to whom this Section 6.8 applies without the consent of such affected Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 6.7 applies will be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.7, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.7).

(d) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and will not be the continuing or Surviving Corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision will be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.

SECTION 6.8. Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, the Company shall take all such steps as may be required to approve, for purposes of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, the disposition and cancellation or deemed disposition and cancellation of Shares and Company Stock Awards in the Transaction by applicable individuals and to cause such dispositions and/or cancellations to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.9. Rule 14d-10 Matters. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Compensation Committee of the Company Board, at a meeting duly called and held, shall approve, as an “employment compensation, severance or other employee benefit arrangement” within the meaning of Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act, each agreement, arrangement or understanding between the Company or any of its Affiliates and any of the officers, directors or employees of the Company that are effective as of the date of this Agreement or are entered into after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Offer Acceptance Time pursuant to which compensation is paid to such officer, director or employee and shall take all other action reasonably necessary to satisfy the requirements of the non-exclusive safe harbor set forth in Rule 14d-10(d)(2) under the Exchange Act.

SECTION 6.10. Transfer Taxes. All documentary, sales, use, real property transfer, registration, transfer, stamp, recording and similar Taxes and fees shall be paid by the Person or Persons on whom such Taxes and fees are imposed by applicable Law.

SECTION 6.11. Merger Sub Stockholder Consent. Immediately following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall execute and deliver, in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and in its capacity as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub, a written consent adopting this Agreement.

SECTION 6.12. No Control of the Other Partys Business. The parties acknowledge and agree that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement are not intended to give Parent or Merger Sub, on the one hand, or the Company, on the other hand, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the business or operations of the other at any time prior to the Effective Time. Prior to the Effective Time, each of Parent and the Company shall exercise, consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over their own business and operations.

SECTION 6.13. Securityholder Litigation. The Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing of, and give Parent the opportunity to participate, at Parent’s expense, in the defense of, any claim or litigation related to this Agreement, the Offer, the Merger or the other Transactions brought by any stockholder of the Company or any holder of the Company’s other securities against the Company and/or its directors or officers and the Company shall consider the Parent’s advice with respect to such claim or litigation, including the defense and settlement thereof. The Company shall not agree to any full or partial compromise or settlement of any such claim or litigation without the Parent’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

SECTION 6.14. NASDAQ Listing. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to continue the listing of the Company Common Stock on NASDAQ during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall cooperate with Parent and use reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably necessary, proper or advisable on its part under applicable Law (including the rules and regulations of NASDAQ) to enable the de-listing by the Surviving Corporation of Company Common Stock from NASDAQ and the deregistration of Company Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time.

 

-49-


SECTION 6.15. Takeover Laws. If any “fair price,” “business combination” or “control share acquisition” statute or other similar statute or regulation is or may become applicable to any of the Transactions, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to (a) take such actions as are reasonably necessary so that the Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and (b) otherwise take all such actions as are reasonably necessary to eliminate or minimize the effects of any such statute or regulation on the Transactions.

SECTION 9.11. Amendment. Prior to the Offer Acceptance Time, subject to Section 6.7(c), this Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto, without the need to obtain the approval of any third party beneficiaries. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.
