CONFIDENTIAL

 

of Company Options that become fully vested only as of and effective immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be permitted to exercise such fully vested Company Options effective as of and contingent upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(ii) At the Effective Time, each Company Option that has not been exercised prior to the Effective Time with a per share exercise price that is less than the maximum possible per share Option Merger Consideration amount payable in accordance with this Agreement shall be cancelled and converted into and represent the right to receive an amount of cash (without interest) equal to the positive product, if any, of (a) the number of shares of Company Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Company Option multiplied by (b) (x) the Common Per Share Merger Consideration minus (y) the exercise price per share attributable to such Company Option (such amount being hereinafter referred to as the “Option Merger Consideration”) payable at the same time and subject to the same conditions as holders of Company Common Stock (including the Escrow Fund, Representative Reimbursement Amount and Contingent Merger Consideration Set-Off provisions contained in this Agreement). The payment of the Option Merger Consideration to each holder of Company Options as described in this Section 2.7(a)(ii) shall be reduced by any income or employment tax withholding required under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are withheld pursuant to the preceding sentence, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of such Company Option.

Promptly after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will deliver to each holder of Company Warrants any notice contemplated by the

Company Warrants regarding the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain consents from the holders of the Company Warrants approving the terms set forth in this Section 2.7(b)(i), provided, that if such consents are not obtained prior to Closing, then each Company Warrant held by a holder who has not consented to the terms set forth in this Section 2.7(b)(i) will, to the extent not previously exercised for shares of Series C Preferred Stock by such holder, at the Effective Time, be terminated pursuant to the terms of such Company Warrant, and no Company Warrant Merger Consideration in respect of such Company Warrants will be payable at the Effective Time.

(ii) The Company shall comply with all provisions of the Company Warrants applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company shall provide any notices to the holders of such Company Warrants as required therein.

2.8 Payments and Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Closing Payments. Subject to the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions to the respective obligations of each of the parties set forth in Article VII, as the case may be, at the Closing Parent shall (i) deposit the Initial Merger Consideration, Initial Escrow Amount and the Representative Reimbursement Amount with the Escrow Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8; (ii) pay any Closing Debt; and (iii) pay any Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts of employees identified by the holders of such Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses.

(b) Parent to Provide Cash. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall enter into an agreement with the Paying Agent which shall provide that, prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Paying Agent for payment in accordance with this Article II and the Consideration Spreadsheet, the Initial Merger Consideration, less (i) amounts of cash which Parent shall deposit in the Escrow Fund and (ii) the Representative Reimbursement Amount, in exchange for Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on any cash payable to holders of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants pursuant to the provisions of this Article II. Any cash deposited with the Paying Agent shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Payment Fund.”

(c) Exchange Procedures. Within two (2) Business Days following the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates or an instrument or instruments (the “Certificates”), which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented (i) outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock whose shares were converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, and (ii) the Company Options and the Company Warrants which were converted into the right to receive the Option Merger Consideration or Company Warrant Merger Consideration, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.7: (A) a letter of transmittal in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Letter of Transmittal”) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for cash constituting the Merger Consideration (less amounts of cash to

be deposited in the Escrow Fund and the Representative Reimbursement Amount with respect to such Company Stockholder in accordance with Article VIII). Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall provide to any Company Stockholder or holder of Company Options or Company Warrants who is to receive in excess of $500,000 in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, upon the written or email request of such holder (or the Company on behalf of such holder), a Letter of Transmittal, and any such holder who shall deliver a duly completed Letter of Transmittal and the other items set forth in this Section 2.8(d) to the Paying Agent on or prior to the Closing Date shall receive the amounts of Merger Consideration such holder is entitled to receive hereunder on the Closing Date. Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such Letter of Transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of record of such Certificates (unless such Certificates represent Dissenting Shares) shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the amount of cash, without interest, constituting the Merger Consideration such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 2.6 (less amounts of cash to be deposited in the Escrow Fund and the Representative Reimbursement Amount with respect to such Company Stockholder in accordance with Article VIII) and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. At the election of the respective Company Stockholder, the Paying Agent shall make the foregoing payment by wire transfer to the extent that the aggregate amount owed to any such holder at the Closing is in excess of $500,000. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates (other than those representing Dissenting Shares, unless the holder thereof loses its right to appraisal) will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive the Merger Consideration into which such securities shall have been so converted.

(d) Required Withholding. Each of Parent, the Paying Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration or other amount payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and/or Company Warrants such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or otherwise under any other applicable Legal Requirement (as defined in Section 3.2(d)). To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid to the appropriate taxing authorities, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person (as defined in Section 10.2(d)) to whom such consideration would otherwise have been paid.

(e) Investment of Payment Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest any cash included in the Payment Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of the Company’s securities pursuant to this Article II. Any interest and other income resulting from such investment shall become a part of the Payment Fund, and any amounts in excess of the amounts payable to holders of the Company’s securities pursuant to this Article II shall promptly be paid to Parent.

(f) Termination of Payment Fund. Any portion of the Payment Fund which remains undistributed to the Participating Rights Holders twelve (12) months after the Effective Time shall, at the request of the Surviving Corporation, be delivered to the Surviving Corporation or

otherwise according to the instruction of the Surviving Corporation, and any holders of the Certificates who have not surrendered such Certificates in compliance with this Section 2.8 shall after such delivery to the Surviving Corporation look only to Parent and the Surviving Corporation for the amount of cash constituting the Merger Consideration pursuant to Sections 2.6 and 2.7 with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants formerly represented thereby. If any Certificate shall not have been surrendered immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity (as defined in Section 3.3(c)), any such portion of the Payment Fund remaining unclaimed by holders of the Company’s securities immediately prior to such time shall, to the extent permitted by law, become the property of Parent or the Surviving Corporation free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of fact and the delivery of a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Certificate by the Participating Rights Holder claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, the Paying Agent shall, subject to this Section 2.8, pay in exchange for such lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Certificate the amount of Merger Consideration such Participating Rights Holder would have been entitled to receive had such Person surrendered such lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed Company Certificate to the Surviving Corporation pursuant to this Section 2.8.

(i) FDA Milestone Payment Amount. Upon the achievement by or on behalf of Parent and/or its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation) of the FDA Milestone, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to (A) pay the FDA Milestone Shaftel Bonus, (B) pay any Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, and (C) (i) notify the Stockholders’ Representative of such achievement no later than ten (10) Business Days following such achievement and (ii) pay at the time specified in Section 2.9(d)(iii) the FDA Milestone Payment Amount to the Participating Rights Holders equal to that portion of the FDA Milestone Payment Amount allocated to the Participating Rights Holders pursuant to Sections 2.6 and 2.7, as applicable.

(iv) 2015 Contingent Payment Amount. No later than March 31, 2016, Parent shall (A) pay any Unpaid Company Transaction Expenses, and (B) cause to be prepared and deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a statement (the “2015 Contingent Payment Statement”) setting forth Parent’s determination of (i) the 2015 Revenues and (ii) the 2015 Contingent Payment Amount, if any, together with reasonable supporting information.

quarter, including, without limitation and on a country-by-country basis, the Net Sales (and, if applicable, the Net Sales resulting from any sale of Bundled Products) and the exchange rates used. When conversion of payments from any foreign currency is required in order to calculate the Net Sales of the Company Products, such conversion shall be at the exchange rate used by Parent throughout its accounting system during the calendar quarter for which the revenue from such sale is recognized in accordance with applicable accounting rules. The Stockholders’ Representative hereby agrees to maintain in strictest confidence all information included in any reports it receives pursuant to this Section 2.9(b).

(ii) cause the Surviving Corporation to provide to the Stockholders’ Representative and its accountants and advisors with reasonable access to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation, at least once per calendar quarter, for the purposes of: (A) enabling the Stockholders’ Representative to review Parent’s calculation of the Annual Contingent Payment solely related to such Annual Contingent Payment Statement and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculation of the Annual Contingent Payment solely related to such Annual Contingent Payment Statement.

(c) If the Stockholders’ Representative disputes the calculation of an Annual Contingent Payment, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a written notice (an “Annual Contingent Payment Dispute Notice”) to Parent during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment Statement from Parent solely relating to such Annual Contingent Payment (each such period of time being, the “Annual Contingent Payment Review Period”). Any Annual Contingent Payment Dispute Notice shall set forth the principal basis for the dispute for each disputed item of such calculations.

(d) If the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver an Annual Contingent Payment Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment Review Period, Parent’s determination of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment set forth in such Annual Contingent Payment Statement shall be deemed final and binding on the Stockholders’ Representative, the Participating Rights Holders and Parent for all purposes under this Agreement.

(e) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers an Annual Contingent Payment Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment Review Period, then the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall negotiate in good faith to reach agreement on the amount of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment; provided, that matters included in such Annual Contingent Payment Statement to which the Stockholders’ Representative did not object in the Annual Contingent Payment Dispute Notice shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Stockholders’ Representative and shall not be subject to further dispute or review by the Stockholders’ Representative. If the Stockholders’ Representative and the Parent are unable to reach agreement on the amount of the Annual Contingent Payment within twenty (20) days after the end of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment Review Period, either party shall have the right to refer such dispute to the Accountant after such 20-day period. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Accountant: (i) the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Accountant to provide their views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Annual Contingent Payment; (ii) the Accountant shall determine the amount of such Annual Contingent Payment within twenty (20) days of such referral and upon reaching such determination shall deliver a copy of its calculation (an “Annual Contingent Payment Expert Calculation”) to the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent; and (iii) such determination by the Accountant of such Annual Contingent Payment shall be final and binding on the Stockholders’ Representative, the Participating Rights Holders and Parent for all purposes under this Agreement, absent manifest error. In determining any Annual Contingent Payment that is subject of a dispute hereunder, (A) the Accountant shall be limited to addressing only those particular disputed items referred to in the Annual Contingent Payment Dispute Notice for the annual period addressed by such Annual Contingent Payment Statement, and (B) such calculation shall, with respect to any disputed item, be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the amount calculated by Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be. Any such Annual Contingent Payment Expert Calculation shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Annual Contingent Payment as reflected therein and the Annual Contingent Payment as set forth in the applicable Annual Contingent Payment Statement. The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne equally by the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent; provided that in the event that Parent underpaid the Stockholders’ Representative with respect to any Annual Contingent Payment by more than five percent (5%) of such amount, Parent shall bear such fees and expenses in full.

(f) Upon the final and binding determination of such Annual Contingent Payment, Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, (i) notify the Stockholders’ Representative of the final and binding determination of the applicable Annual Contingent Payment no later than ten (10) Business Days following such determination and (ii) make at the time specified in Sections 2.9(d)(iv)-(vi) the applicable Annual Contingent Payment to the Stockholders’ Representative for the benefit of the Participating Rights Holders in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet.

Representative for the payment to the Participating Rights Holders in cash in accordance with this Section 2.9 in the respective amounts they would have been entitled to receive had such amount not been retained or set-off by Parent.

(k) Covenants Related to the Company Products.

(i) Parent’s Obligations. During the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2017 (such period being, the “Contingent Merger Consideration Period”), Parent shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to achieve the FDA Milestone and commercialize the Company Products. For purposes of the foregoing, “Commercially Reasonable Efforts” shall mean using that level of efforts and resources required to carry out a particular activity in an active and sustained manner, consistent with Parent’s ordinary course of conduct with respect to other products in similar states of development and with similar market potential to achieve the FDA Milestone and Initial Revenue Milestone and, thereafter, commercialize the Company Products; provided, that whether certain efforts by Parent are deemed to be “commercially reasonable” with respect to the Company Products shall be determined in light of all relevant factors in the applicable jurisdiction, taken as a whole, as such factors exist and are known at the time of such determination, such factors to include but not limited to the perceived market potential of the Company Products (including anticipated or actual profit margin), the extent of the indications for which the Company Products are anticipated to receive regulatory approval, the safety and efficacy of the Company Products, the stage of development of the Company Products, the level of Intellectual Property protection of the Company Products (and the existence of third-party Intellectual Property rights that may impact the ability of Parent to commercialize the Company Products), the presence or absence of material technical issues, and the expected competitive position of the Company Products vis-à-vis other therapies for cellulite treatment. For purposes of determining whether or not Parent is complying with its obligations under the first sentence of this paragraph, Parent’s efforts shall be measured on a periodic basis of periods no shorter than six months, and Parent shall not be deemed to be in breach of this Section 2.9(k) for any such period unless Parent’s efforts during such period, taken as a whole, are not commercially reasonable.

(ii) Parent Discretion. Without limiting, and subject to, its express obligations under this Section 2.9(k), Parent and Surviving Corporation shall have sole discretion over all matters relating to the Company Products after the Effective Time, including, but not limited to, any research, development, manufacturing, clinical trial design, site selection, regulatory, quality standards, legal, Intellectual Property, marketing, pricing and sales decisions relating to the

CONFIDENTIAL

 

Company Products. Without diminishing the obligations of Parent required under Section 2.9(k)(i), until the end of the Contingent Merger Consideration Period, Parent shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, take any actions in bad faith in the development and commercialization of Company Products, or the operation of the Surviving Corporation, including any such actions which are undertaken for purposes of avoiding or delaying the achievement of the Milestones hereunder.

(iii) Enforcement of Covenant. The right and power to enforce this Section 2.9(k) against Parent shall reside entirely with, the Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Participating Rights Holders), and none of the Participating Rights Holders shall be entitled to bring, commence, continue or prosecute any claim, legal action or proceeding under, in relation to, arising out of or in connection with a breach of this Section 2.9(k) or otherwise claiming that after the Effective Time Parent has not used an appropriate level of efforts in commercializing the Company Products in any jurisdiction. The obligations of Parent under this Section 2.9(k) (and Parent’s payment obligations upon achievement of the Milestones, if achieved) shall be Parent’s sole obligations with respect to the commercialization of the Company Products, and Parent shall not be deemed to have any duties with respect to the development or regulatory approval of the Company Products, whether imposed under this Agreement or applicable Legal Requirement, other than those set forth in Section 2.9(k), and in no event shall Parent be deemed a fiduciary or other similar obligor to the Stockholders’ Representative, the Company or any of the Participating Rights Holders in connection with the commercialization of the Company Products and the achievement of the Milestones.

(l) Bundled Products. Whenever any Company Product is sold as part of a Bundled Product, the “Net Sales” for such Company Product resulting from such sale of such Bundled Product shall be (i) the Net Sales reported by Parent for such Bundled Product, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the Per Unit Average Selling Price of such Company Product sold within such sales region and the denominator of which is the per unit average selling price (calculated in a manner corresponding to that set forth in Section 1(iiii) with respect to Company Products) for the Bundled Product within such sales region. For clarity, in the event that a Company Product is not sold on a “stand-alone” basis within the particular sales region of sale or is provided free of charge or at a price that is materially below the Minimum Price in such region, the Per Unit Average Selling Price of such Company Product sold within such sales region shall be the Minimum Price for purposes of calculating Net Sales of Bundled Product in such region

2.10 Closing Working Capital Adjustment.

(a) Pre-Closing Estimate. No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent the Company’s good-faith estimate of the Net Working Capital as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Working Capital”), such estimate to be based on the Company’s books and records and other information then available and prepared in accordance with the accounting principles and illustration set forth in this Section 2.10(a) (the “Specified Accounting Principles”). The Company shall deliver all relevant backup materials, schedules and the illustration prepared as set forth above, in detail reasonably acceptable to Parent,

CONFIDENTIAL

 

concurrently with the delivery of such estimate. Based on such estimate and prior to the Closing Date, Parent and the Company shall in good faith calculate an estimate of the Closing Working Capital (the “Estimated Closing Working Capital”) to be used to determine the Initial Merger Consideration.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustment. As promptly as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, Parent shall cause to be prepared in accordance with the Specified Accounting Principles and delivered to the Stockholders’ Representative an unaudited balance sheet of the Company as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), together with a statement (the “Parent Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Parent’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital.

(i) From and after the delivery of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Parent Closing Statement, Parent shall provide the Stockholders’ Representative and any accountants or advisors retained by the Stockholders’ Representative with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books and records of the Surviving Corporation for the purposes of: (A) enabling the Stockholders’ Representative to calculate and to review Parent’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital; and (B) identifying any dispute related to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Parent Closing Statement.

(ii) If the Stockholders’ Representative dispute the calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Parent Closing Statement, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a written notice (a “Dispute Notice”) to Parent and the Escrow Agent during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of the Parent Closing Statement (the “Review Period”). The Dispute Notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the principal basis for the dispute of such calculation.

(iii) If the Stockholders’ Representative do not deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, Parent’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Parent Closing Statement shall be deemed final and binding on Parent, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Participating Rights Holders for all purposes of this Agreement.

(iv) If the Stockholders’ Representative deliver a Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the calculation of the Closing Working Capital. If the Stockholders’ Representative and Parent are unable to reach agreement on the calculation of the Closing Working Capital within 20 calendar days after the end of the Review Period, the Stockholders’ Representative, on the one hand, or Parent, on the other hand, shall have the right to refer such dispute to the Accountant after such 20th day. In connection with the resolution of any such dispute by the Accountant: (i) each of Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall have a reasonable opportunity to meet with the Accountant to provide their respective views as to any disputed issues with respect to the calculation of the Closing Working Capital; (ii) the Accountant shall determine the Closing Working Capital in accordance with the

 

-31-


CONFIDENTIAL

 

Specified Accounting Principles within 30 calendar days of such referral and, upon reaching such determination, shall deliver a copy of its calculations (the “Expert Calculations”) to the Stockholders’ Representative, Parent and the Escrow Agent; and (iii) the determination of the Closing Working Capital made by the Accountant shall be final and binding on Parent, the Stockholders’ Representative and the Participating Rights Holders for all purposes of this Agreement, absent manifest error. In calculating the Closing Working Capital, the Accountant shall be limited to addressing any particular disputes referred to in the Dispute Notice. The Expert Calculations (i) shall reflect in detail the differences, if any, between the Closing Working Capital reflected therein and the Closing Working Capital set forth in the Parent Closing Statement, and (ii) with respect to any specific discrepancy or disagreement, shall be no greater than the higher amount calculated by Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative, as the case may be, and no lower than the lower amount calculated by Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative as the case may be. The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne equally by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative.

(c) Procedure for Payment Following Post-Closing Adjustment. If the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.10, is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such deficiency, a “Shortfall”), then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall promptly direct the Escrow Agent to disburse to the Surviving Corporation the amount of such Shortfall from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the Escrow Agreement (it being understood that if the Escrow Fund is insufficient to satisfy the amount of such Shortfall, then the balance of the Shortfall may be recovered from the Contingent Merger Consideration Set-Off, if any. If the Closing Working Capital, as finally determined in accordance with this Section 2.10, is greater than the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such excess, an “Excess”), then Parent shall, or shall cause the Surviving Corporation to, deliver the amount of such Excess to the Stockholders’ Representative, who shall distribute such Excess among the Participating Rights Holders in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet.

2.11 No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. All cash paid upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Options and Company Warrants which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article II.

2.12 No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither the Paying Agent, the Surviving Corporation, Parent nor any other party shall be liable to a Participating Rights Holder for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

(a) The representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement shall survive the Closing as follows: (i) the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.7 and 3.11 (each, a “Fundamental Representation”) shall survive until the third anniversary of the Closing Date (the “FR Expiration Date”); (ii) the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.8 shall survive until the second anniversary of the Closing Date (the “IP Representation Expiration Date”) and (iii) all other representations and warranties of the Company shall survive until the date twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the “General Expiration Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time prior to the FR Expiration Date, IP Representation Expiration Date or General Expiration Date, as applicable, any Indemnified Party delivers to the Stockholders’ Representative a written notice alleging the existence of an inaccuracy in or a breach of any of such representation or warranty and asserting a claim for recovery under Section 8.3(a) based on such alleged inaccuracy or breach, then the claim asserted in such notice shall survive until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.

(b) The representations, warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnified Parties, shall not be limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of any information furnished to, or any investigation made by or knowledge of, any of the Indemnified Parties or any of their Representatives.

(c) The parties acknowledge and agree that if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Losses as a result of or in connection with any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, then (without limiting any of the rights of the Surviving Corporation as an Indemnified Party) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have suffered or incurred Losses as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach.

(d) No Participating Rights Holder shall have, or be entitled to exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he may become subject under or in connection with this Article VIII, provided that, for avoidance of doubt, the foregoing does not affect any Participating Rights Holder’s rights under Section 6.8 except with respect to the amounts for which the Participating Rights Holder is personally liable under this Article VIII.

8.2 Escrow and Representative Reimbursement Amount Deposit.

(b) Promptly following the Closing, and without any act of any Company Stockholder, Parent shall deposit the Representative Reimbursement Amount with the Escrow Agent, to be held by the Escrow Agent and released on the instructions of the Stockholders’ Representative for the payment of expenses incurred by the Stockholders’ Representative in performing its duties pursuant to this Agreement. For purposes of determining the reduction in the amount of Merger Consideration payable to each Participating Rights Holder, as applicable, Parent will be deemed to have contributed on behalf of each Participating Rights Holder, his, her or its allocation of the Representative Reimbursement Amount as set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet for retention by the Escrow Agent. Any of the Representative Reimbursement Amount originally deposited with the Escrow Agent at the Closing that has not been used by the Stockholders’ Representative pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on or prior to the end of the period in which the Indemnified Parties may make claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.3(a) or, if later, the date on which all indemnification claims of the Indemnified Parties outstanding at the end of such period have been discharged in full, shall be released by the Escrow Agent for distribution by the Escrow Agent to the Participating Rights Holders, in each case in accordance with the allocation set forth in the Consideration Spreadsheet, if any, as set forth on the Consideration Spreadsheet. Notwithstanding the delivery of any remaining portion of the Representative Reimbursement Amount to the Escrow Agent, such remaining portion shall not be deemed part of the Escrow Fund and shall not be available to satisfy any indemnification or other obligations to Parent hereunder.

(vii) any Unpaid Pre-Closing Taxes and the unpaid Taxes of any Person (other than the Company).

the Contingent Merger Consideration Set-Off shall serve as the sole source of recovery for indemnification claims made by Parent under this Article VIII. In no event shall any paid Merger Consideration and distributed Escrow Amount and Representative Reimbursement Amount received by any Participating Rights Holders be subject to any clawback or recapture pursuant to this Article VIII, except in the case of (i) intentional fraud, (ii) a knowing or intentional misrepresentation on which Parent has relied, or (iii) a breach of a Fundamental Representation.

(d) The limitations set forth in Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c) shall not apply to any claim for indemnification made under (i) Sections 8.3(a)(i) or 8.3(a)(ii), in each case to the extent such claim is based on a breach of a Fundamental Representation or arises from or is a result of intentional fraud or knowing and intentional misrepresentation on which Parent has relied, or (ii) Section 8.3(a)(iii) or Section 8.3(a)(vi). The maximum aggregate liability of each Participating Rights Holder for indemnification claims under (i) Sections 8.3(a)(i) or 8.3(a)(ii), in each case to the extent such claim is based on a breach of a Fundamental Representation or arises from or is a result of intentional fraud or knowing and intentional misrepresentation on which Parent has relied or (ii) Section 8.3(a)(iii) or Section 8.3(a)(vi) shall be equal to the amount of Merger Consideration actually received by such Participating Rights Holder.

(e) No Participating Rights Holder shall be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 8.3(a) until such time as the total amount of all Losses that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnified Parties, or to which any one or more of the Indemnified Parties has or have otherwise become subject, exceeds the (i) Escrow Fund plus (ii) (without duplication) the Contingent Merger Consideration Set-Off, to the extent payment is due or is within thirty (30) days of becoming due under this Agreement. If and to the extent that the Indemnified Parties (or any of them) is entitled to recover Losses hereunder pursuant to an indemnification claim under any subsection of Section 8.3(a), then such Indemnified Parties shall first recover all such Losses from the (i) Escrow Fund and (ii) the Contingent Merger Consideration Set-Off, to the extent payment is due or is within thirty (30) days of becoming due under this Agreement. The Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover funds directly from the Participating Rights Holders if and only to the extent that there are insufficient funds (i) remaining in the Escrow Fund or (ii) available under the Contingent Merger Consideration Set-Off, to the extent payment is due or is within thirty (30) days of becoming due under this Agreement, to pay the full amount of Losses recoverable in respect of such indemnification claim.

by each Participating Rights Holder based on each Participating Rights Holder’s Indemnification Allocation of the indemnification claim.

(g) Absent intentional fraud or knowing and intentional misrepresentation, in each case upon which Parent has relied, the indemnification provisions contained in this Article VIII are intended to provide the sole and exclusive remedy following the Closing as to all Losses any Indemnified Party may incur arising from or relating to this Agreement, the Merger or the transactions contemplated hereby (it being understood that nothing in this Section 8.3(g) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall affect the parties’ rights to specific performance or other equitable remedies with respect to the covenants referred to in this Agreement or to be performed after the Closing or any rights arising out of claims Parent or the Surviving Corporation may have under the letters of transmittal delivered pursuant to Section 2.8).

(i) No Indemnified Party shall be entitled to double recovery for any indemnifiable Losses even though such Losses may have resulted from the breach of more than one of the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not prevent an Indemnified Party from recovering all Losses to which it is entitled hereunder arising out of the same set of facts and circumstances notwithstanding the fact that an indemnification claim for such Losses is based upon more than one representation, warranty, agreement or covenant.

(i) stating that an Indemnified Party has a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII;

(ii) to the extent possible, containing a good faith non-binding, preliminary estimate of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled to receive, which shall be the amount of Losses such Indemnified Party claims to have so incurred or suffered or would reasonably be expected to incur or suffer; and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Parent) the material facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim.

(iv) No delay in providing such Officer’s Claim Certificate prior to the FR Expiration Date, IP Representation Expiration Date or General Expiration Date, as applicable, shall affect an Indemnified Party’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Participating Rights Holders are prejudiced thereby.

(b) At the time of delivery of any Officer’s Claim Certificate to the Stockholders’ Representative, a duplicate copy of such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent by or on behalf of Parent (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Party). Following the delivery of an Officer’s Claim Certificate, Parent shall make available to the Stockholders’ Representative and their representatives and agents all books and records of the Surviving Corporation and the personnel or representatives of the Surviving Corporation and Parent that are in the possession, control or employ of Parent or the Surviving Corporation as the Stockholders’ Representative may reasonably require for the purpose of investigating or resolving any dispute or responding to any matter or inquiry raised in any Officer’s Claim Certificate.

(c) If the Stockholders’ Representative in good faith objects to any claim made by Parent in any Officer’s Claim Certificate, then the Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver a written notice (a “Claim Dispute Notice”) to Parent during the 30-day period commencing upon receipt by the Stockholders’ Representative of the Officer’s Claim Certificate. The Claim Dispute Notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the principal basis for the dispute of any claim made by Parent in the Officer’s Claim Certificate. If the Stockholders’ Representative does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice to Parent prior to the expiration of such 30-day period, then (i) each claim for indemnification set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate shall be deemed to have been conclusively determined in Parent’s favor for purposes of this Article VIII on the terms set forth in such Officer’s Claim Certificate and (ii) if cash remains in the Escrow Fund, then Parent may direct the Escrow Agent to deliver cash from the Escrow Fund to Parent in accordance with this Section 8.4.

(d) If the Stockholders’ Representative delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall attempt in good faith to resolve any such objections raised by the Stockholders’ Representative in such Claim Dispute Notice. If Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative agree to a resolution of such objection, then a memorandum setting forth the matters conclusively determined by Parent and the Stockholders’ Representative shall be

prepared and signed by both parties and, if cash remains in the Escrow Fund, promptly delivered to the Escrow Agent directing the Escrow Agent to distribute cash from the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(e) If no such resolution can be reached during the 45-day period following Parent’s receipt of a given Claim Dispute Notice, then upon the expiration of such 45-day period, either Parent or the Stockholders’ Representative may bring suit to resolve the objection in accordance with Sections 10.7 and 10.8. Judgment upon any award rendered by a court having jurisdiction may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

8.5 Stockholders’ Representative.

(a) By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the principal terms of the Merger contemplated hereby, by the Required Stockholder Vote, each of the Company Stockholders (other than such Company Stockholders, if any, who have perfected dissenters’ or appraisal rights under Delaware or the applicable laws of the State of California) shall be deemed to have agreed for and on behalf of all of the Participating Rights Holders to appoint Ben Brian as the agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Stockholders’ Representative”) of the Participating Rights Holders to give and receive notices and communications, to authorize payment to any Indemnified Party from the Escrow Fund or pursuant to Section 2.9(i) in satisfaction of claims by any Indemnified Party, to object to such payments, to agree to, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to such claims, to assert, negotiate, enter into settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, any other claim by any Indemnified Party against any Participating Rights Holder or by any such Participating Rights Holder against any Indemnified Party or any dispute between any Indemnified Party and any such Participating Rights Holder, in each case relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and to take all other actions that are either (i) necessary or appropriate in the judgment of the Stockholders’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing or (ii) specifically mandated by the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement. Such agency may be changed by the Participating Rights Holders with the right to a majority of the Escrow Fund from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholders’ Representative may resign at any time by providing written notice of intent to resign to the Participating Rights Holders, which resignation shall be effective upon the earlier of (A) thirty (30) calendar days following delivery of such written notice or (B) the appointment of a successor by the holders of a majority in interest of the Escrow Fund. No bond shall be required of the Stockholder’s Representative, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not receive any compensation for its services.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall not be liable for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Stockholders’ Representative while acting in good faith, even if such act or omission constitutes negligence on the part of such Stockholders’ Representative. The Stockholders’ Representative shall only have the duties expressly stated in this Agreement and shall have no other duty, express or implied. The Stockholders’ Representative may engage attorneys,

CONFIDENTIAL

 

accountants and other professionals and experts. The Stockholders’ Representative may in good faith rely conclusively upon information, reports, statements and opinions prepared or presented by such professionals, and any action taken by the Stockholders’ Representative based on such reliance shall be deemed conclusively to have been taken in good faith. The Participating Rights Holders shall indemnify the Stockholders’ Representative and hold the Stockholders’ Representative harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred on the part of the Stockholders’ Representative (so long as the Stockholders’ Representative was acting in good faith in connection therewith) and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Stockholders’ Representative’s duties hereunder, including the reasonable fees and expenses of any legal counsel retained by the Stockholders’ Representative (“Stockholders’ Representative Expenses”). The Stockholders’ Representative shall have the right to retain Stockholders’ Representative Expenses from the Representative Reimbursement Amount prior to any distribution to the Participating Rights Holders, and prior to any such distribution, shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate setting forth the Stockholders’ Representative Expenses actually incurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any inquiry, investigation or examination conducted (and without any obligation to conduct any inquiry, investigation or examination), or any knowledge possessed or acquired, by or on behalf of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent or their respective Affiliates, (i) a decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative, including with respect to an amendment, extension or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.4 or 9.5, shall constitute a decision of all of the Participating Rights Holders and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Participating Rights Holders, (ii) Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent and their respective Affiliates are entitled to rely on the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative as an act approved by all of the Participating Rights Holders and (iii) in no event shall Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Escrow Agent, the Paying Agent or their respective Affiliates have any liability to any Person (including the Stockholders’ Representative or any of the Stockholders) for any action taken in reliance on the decision, act, consent or instruction of the Stockholders’ Representative.

8.6 Third-Party Claims.

(a) In the event that an Indemnified Party becomes aware of a third party claim (a “Third Party Claim”) that the Indemnified Party reasonably believes may result in a demand for indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, Parent shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Representative of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Stockholders’ Representative of the commencement of any such Third Party Claim will relieve the Participating Rights Holders from liability in connection therewith only if and to the extent that such failure prejudices the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) The Stockholders’ Representative shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to notify Parent that it desires to defend Parent against such Third Party Claim; provided, that the Stockholders’ Representative may only assume the defense of a Third Party Claim if (a) it acknowledges to Parent in writing that there exists an indemnification obligation under this

 

-76-


CONFIDENTIAL

 

Article VIII relating to such Third Party Claim, (b) such Third Party Claim does not primarily seek as a remedy the imposition of an equitable remedy that is binding upon any Indemnified Party, (c) such Third Party Claim does not relate to or arise in connection with any criminal Claim brought by a Governmental Entity or any Claim relating to Taxes of Parent or any of its Affiliates, and (d) an adverse resolution of such third-party claim would not reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the business or operations Parent. If the Stockholders’ Representative assumes the defense of Parent against such Third Party Claim in accordance with the foregoing provisions, Parent shall be entitled, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such Third Party Claim, and the Stockholders’ Representative shall not have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such Third Party Claim without the consent of Parent unless the sole remedy in any such settlement, adjustment or compromise if for an amount of cash (that, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any equitable remedy or injunctive relief) that is less than or equal to the current balance of the Escrow Fund and that is accompanied by an irrevocable release of all related claims against the Indemnified Parties in a form reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

(c) If the Stockholders’ Representative does not so elect (or, pursuant to Section 8.6(b) cannot so elect) to undertake and conduct the defense of such Third Party Claim, Parent shall undertake the defense of and use all reasonable efforts to defend such claim and shall consult with the Stockholders’ Representative regarding the strategy for defense of such claim, including with respect to Parent’s choice of legal counsel, provided however, that Parent shall have the right in its reasonable discretion to settle any such claim; provided, further, that except with the prior written consent of the Stockholders’ Representative (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), no settlement of any such Third Party Claim with third party claimants shall be determinative of any Losses relating to such matter. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such Third Party Claim, the Stockholders’ Representative and each Participating Rights Holder shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in its respective possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such Third Party Claim.

8.7 No Other Representations and Warranties.

(a) Each of Parent and Merger Sub acknowledges and agrees that it has made its own inquiry and investigation into, and, based thereon, has formed an independent judgment concerning, the Company and its businesses and operations. In connection with Parent’s and Merger Sub’s investigation of the Company and its businesses and operations, Parent, Merger Sub and their respective representatives have received from the Company or its representatives certain projections and other forecasts for the Company and certain estimates, plans and budget information. Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that (i) there are uncertainties inherent in attempting to make such projections, forecasts, estimates, plans and budgets; and (ii) Parent and Merger Sub are familiar with such uncertainties.

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties shall have no claim or right to recovery pursuant to this Article VIII or otherwise, and none of the Indemnified Parties or any other person shall have or be subject to any liability to Merger Sub,

 

-77-


CONFIDENTIAL

 

Parent, the Indemnified Parties or any other person, with respect to (i) any information, documents or materials furnished, delivered or made available by the Company or its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors to Parent or Merger Sub, in certain “data rooms”, management presentations or any other form in contemplation of the transactions contemplated hereby or (ii) any projections, forecasts, estimates, plans or budgets of future revenue, expenses or expenditures, future results of operations (or any component thereof), future cash flows (or any component thereof) or future financial condition (or any component thereof) of the Company or the future business, operations or affairs of the Company heretofore or hereafter delivered to or made available to Parent, Merger Sub or their respective representatives or Affiliates, unless and solely to the extent that such information, statements, documents or materials in either clause (i) or (ii) above (y) are the subject of an express representation and warranty set forth in Article VIII, or (z) Parent can demonstrate the commission of intentional fraud or a knowing and intentional misrepresentation by or on behalf of the Company when such information or such statements were provided or otherwise made, and Parent relied on such information or statements.

8.8 Tax Consequences of Indemnification Payments. Any payments made to an Indemnified Party pursuant to any indemnification obligations under this Article VIII will be treated as adjustments to the purchase price for Tax purposes and such agreed treatment will govern for purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise required by law.

ARTICLE IX

(d) by either the Company or Parent if a Governmental Entity shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action (including the failure to have taken an action), in

any case having the effect of permanently restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the Merger, which order, decree, ruling or other action is final and nonappealable;

(f) by Parent, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of the Company set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of the Company shall have become untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.3(a) or Section 7.3(b) would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided that Parent may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(f) prior to the thirty (30) days following the receipt of written notice by the Company from Parent of such breach (it being understood that Parent may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(f) if Parent is in material breach of this Agreement or if such breach by the Company is cured so that such conditions would then be satisfied).

An exception or disclosure made in Company Disclosure Letter with regard to a representation of the Company, or in the Parent Disclosure Letter with regard to a representation of Parent or Merger Sub, shall be deemed made with respect to any other representation by such party to which the applicability or relevance of such exception or disclosure is reasonably apparent from the face of such exception or disclosure.

transmission or electronic mail in portable document format) to the other party, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

10.4 Entire Agreement; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the documents and instruments and other agreements among the parties hereto as contemplated by or referred to herein, including the Company Disclosure Letter and the Parent Disclosure Letter, the Escrow Agreement and the certificates delivered by the Company in connection herewith (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, it being understood that the Confidentiality Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the Closing and shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) are not intended to confer upon any other Person any rights or remedies hereunder and no Person is or shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder, except, following the Effective Time, except such provisions that act for the benefit of (i) the Company Stockholders, the holders of Company Options and the holders of Company Warrants, as set forth in Section 2.6(a), and in Section 2.7, respectively, and (ii) the Company Indemnified Parties with respect to Section 6.8.

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

10.6 Other Remedies. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each of the parties agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof in any proceeding instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the parties and the matter in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the case of any claim as to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal Court of the United States of America, sitting in Delaware) (“Federal Court”), this being in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

CONFIDENTIAL

 

10.7 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware regardless of the laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of law thereof.

10.8 Consent to Jurisdiction. In any action or proceeding between any of the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, each of the parties hereto: (i) irrevocably and unconditionally consents and submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, in the case of any claim as to which the federal courts have exclusive subject matter jurisdiction, the Federal Court); (ii) agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding must be commenced, and may be heard and determined, exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if applicable, the Federal Court); (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (and, if applicable, the Federal Court); and (iv) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if applicable, the Federal Court). Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

10.9 Rules of Construction. The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

10.10 Assignment. No party may assign either this Agreement or any of its rights, interests, or obligations hereunder without the prior written approval of the other parties, except that the Surviving Corp may assign, in its sole discretion, any of or all its rights, interests and obligations under this Agreement to Parent or any Subsidiary of Parent, but no such assignment shall relieve the Surviving Corp of any of its obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.10 shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

10.11 No Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of any party hereto in the exercise of any right hereunder will impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right.
