RECITALS
WHEREAS, Assure, Merger Sub and Danam are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 12, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”).
WHEREAS, Section 6.20 of the Merger Agreement requires that Assure obtain shareholder approval for Proposals 1, 2 and 3 from the December 5, 2023 proxy statement within 45 days of the date of the Agreement (the “Section 6.20 Covenant”).
WHEREAS, Section 6.8(a) of the Merger Agreement requires Assure to prepare and file with the SEC a proxy statement and registration statement on Form S-4 “as promptly as practicable” and in any event no later than March 11, 2024 (the “Section 6.8(a) Covenant”).
WHEREAS, Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement requires Assure to use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary or advisable to consummate and make effective as promptly as reasonably practicable the Transactions (the “Section 6.2 Covenant”).
WHEREAS, Section 8.1(b) provides Danam the right to terminate the Merger Agreement upon Assure’s failure to perform its obligations set forth under certain sections of the Merger Agreement, including but not limited to, the Section 6.8(a) Covenant, if such failure is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof is delivered to Assure by Danam (the “Section 8.1(b) Termination Right”).
WHEREAS, Danam provided notice to Assure of its failure to perform its obligations under Section 6.8(a) on March 19, 2024, thereby giving Assure until April 18, 2024 to cure its failure to perform under the Section 6.8(a) Covenant (“Cure Period”).
WHEREAS, Section 8.1(f)(iv) of the Merger Agreement provides Danam the right to terminate the Merger Agreement upon Assure’s failure to perform any of its obligations set forth in certain sections of the Merger Agreement, including but not limited to the Section 6.20 Covenant and the Section 6.2 Covenant (the “Special Termination Right”).
WHEREAS, Section 8.3(a)(ii) of the Merger Agreement provides that in the event Danam exercises its Special Termination Right, Assure shall be obligated to pay Danam a termination fee of $1,000,000 (the “Special Termination Fee”).
WHEREAS, the Parties acknowledge that Assure has breached its obligations under the Section 6.20 Covenant, resulting in Danam having a Special Termination Right that, if exercised, shall result in Assure having to pay Danam the Special Termination Fee.
WHEREAS, the Parties believe it is in their collective best interests for Danam to refrain from exercising its Special Termination Right in exchange for the covenants and agreements contained in this Waiver.
WHEREAS, the Parties further believe that it is in their collective best interests for Danam to agree to an extension of the Cure Period for Assure to comply with the Section 6.8(a) Covenant and for Danam to agree to waive, through the date hereof, its contention that Assure has breached Section 6.2 of the Merger Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Parties further believe that it is in their collective best interests to amend the Merger Agreement to extend the Termination Date to July 22, 2024.
