AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
This Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of November 8, 2013, by and among Under Armour, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Parent”); MMF Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”); MapMyFitness, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); and Fortis Advisors LLC, as the Securityholders’ Agent (as defined in Section 10.1). Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Exhibit A.
RECITALS
A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) in accordance with this Agreement and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Upon consummation of the Merger, Merger Sub will cease to exist, and the Company will become a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.
B. The respective boards of directors of Merger Sub, Parent and the Company have approved this Agreement.
C. As an inducement for Parent and Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement, certain individuals who hold shares or options to purchase shares of the Company will enter into Noncompetition and Non-Solicitation Agreements in favor of Parent (collectively the “Noncompetition Agreements”), which shall be effective at the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.3).
AGREEMENT
The parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. | DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION |
1.1 Merger of Merger Sub into the Company. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, at the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, and the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease. The Company will continue as the surviving corporation in the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”) and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent.
1.2 Effect of the Merger. The Merger shall have the effects set forth in this Agreement and in the applicable provisions of the DGCL.
1.3 Closing; Effective Time. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of King & Spalding LLP, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx 00000 at 10:00 a.m. (Atlanta Time) on a date to be designated by Parent, which shall be no later than the later to occur of (i) the fifth Business Day after the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Sections 6 and 7 (other than those conditions set forth in Sections 6.6(c), 6.6(d) and 7.4, which are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), or (ii) December 6, 2013, or (iii) at such other time and/or date as Parent and the Company may jointly designate. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.” Contemporaneously with or as promptly as practicable after the Closing, the parties hereto shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) conforming to the requirements of the DGCL to be filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective as of the time that the Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by the Company and Merger Sub in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”). For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Agreement to “immediately prior to the Closing” shall be deemed to refer to a point in time immediately before the Closing and after the conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock.
1
1.4 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws; Directors and Officers. Unless otherwise determined by Parent prior to the Effective Time:
(a) the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time in a form acceptable to Parent;
(b) the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated as of the Effective Time to conform to the bylaws of Merger Sub as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time; and
(c) the directors and officers of the Surviving Corporation immediately after the Effective Time shall be those individuals designated by Parent in its sole discretion.
1.5 Conversion of Shares.
(a) Conversion. Subject to Sections 1.5(e), 1.7 and 1.8, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any stockholder of the Company or any other Person:
(i) each share of Capital Stock held in the Company’s treasury or owned by Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, Merger Sub or the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, if any, shall be extinguished and canceled without payment of any consideration with respect thereto;
(ii) each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (all such issued and outstanding shares, other than any share of Common Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i), the “Outstanding Capital Stock”) shall be converted automatically into the right to receive (following the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Common Stock or the delivery of an appropriate affidavit, in each case, in accordance with Section 1.8):
(A) an amount in cash per share of Common Stock equal to: (1) Per Share Amount; minus (2) the Per Share Escrow Amount; minus (3) the Per Share Securityholders’ Agent Amount; and
(B) any cash disbursements required to be made out of the Escrow Amount with respect to such share to the former holder thereof in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; and
(C) any cash disbursements required to be made out of the Securityholders’ Agent Amount with respect to such share to the former holder thereof in accordance with the Securityholders’ Agent Amount Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; and
(iii) each share of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted automatically into one fully paid and nonassessable share of common stock of the Surviving
2
Corporation and shall constitute the only outstanding share of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation at the Effective Time.

(iii) “Cash” means the amount of cash as of the Closing Date.

(viii) “Fully Diluted Company Share Number” shall be the sum of, without duplication: (A) the aggregate number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock (including:
3
(1) any such shares that are subject to a repurchase option or risk of forfeiture under any restricted stock purchase agreement or other Contract; (2) any such shares subject to issuance pursuant to Options or Warrants that are exercised prior to the Effective Time; and (3) any such shares subject to issuance pursuant to the conversion prior to the Effective Time of any Preferred Stock); plus (B) the aggregate number of shares of Capital Stock purchasable under or otherwise subject to Outstanding Options (it being understood that any other rights to purchase or acquire Capital Stock that terminate as of the Effective Time, if not exercised prior to the Closing, shall not be included in the Fully Diluted Company Share Number); plus (C) the aggregate number of shares of Capital Stock purchasable under or otherwise subject to Warrants or any other rights (other than Options) to acquire shares of Capital Stock (whether or not immediately exercisable) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time; plus (D) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon the conversion of any convertible securities of the Company (other than shares of Preferred Stock) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(ix) “Net Working Capital” means the current assets of the Acquired Companies on a consolidated basis (excluding cash) less the current liabilities of the Acquired Companies on a consolidated basis (excluding Cash Items and Indebtedness), as of immediately prior to the Closing, as determined in accordance with the guidelines mutually agreed to by the Company and Parent.
(x) “Per Share Amount” means the amount obtained by dividing: (A) the sum of (1) the Adjusted Transaction Value plus (2) the Aggregate Exercise Amount; by (B) the Fully Diluted Company Share Number.
(xi) “Per Share Escrow Amount” means, with respect to each share of Outstanding Capital Stock held by a Non-Dissenting Stockholder and each share of Capital Stock subject to an Outstanding Vested Option or Warrant, an amount determined by multiplying: (A) the Escrow Amount; by (B) the Specified Fraction with respect to such share of Outstanding Capital Stock or share of Capital Stock subject to an Outstanding Vested Option or Warrant.
(xii) “Per Share Securityholder Agent Amount” means, with respect to each share of Outstanding Capital Stock held by a Non-Dissenting Stockholder and each share of Capital Stock subject to an Outstanding Vested Option or Warrant, an amount determined by multiplying: (A) the Securityholders’ Agent Amount; by (B) the Specified Fraction with respect to such share of Outstanding Capital Stock or share of Capital Stock subject to an Outstanding Vested Option or Warrant.
(xiii) “Specified Fraction” means, with respect to each share of Outstanding Capital Stock held by a Non-Dissenting Stockholder and each share of Capital Stock subject to an Outstanding Vested Option or Warrant, the fraction having a numerator equal to the Merger Consideration payable with respect to such share of Outstanding Capital Stock or share of Capital Stock subject to an Outstanding Vested Option or Warrant (including any amount withheld with respect thereto as part of the Escrow Amount or Securityholders’ Agent Amount), and having a denominator equal to the aggregate amount of Merger Consideration
4
payable in respect of all shares of Outstanding Capital Stock held by Non-Dissenting Stockholders and all shares of Capital Stock subject to Outstanding Vested Options and Warrants (including any amount withheld with respect thereto as part of the Escrow Amount or Securityholders’ Agent Amount).

(d) Securityholders’ Agent Amount. At the Effective Time, an amount equal to the Securityholders’ Agent Amount shall be deposited by Parent with the Securityholders’ Agent (per wire instructions provided by the Securityholders’ Agent prior to Closing) and held by the Securityholders’ Agent as the Expense Fund in accordance with Section 10.1(h).
(e) Payment of Indebtedness. At the Effective Time, Parent shall, on behalf of the Company, pay to such account or accounts as the Company specifies to Parent pursuant to the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement (as defined in Section 4.10), the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness.
(f) Payment of Company Transaction Expenses. At the Effective Time, Parent shall, on behalf of the Company, pay to such account or accounts as the Company specifies to Parent pursuant to the Merger Consideration Certificate the aggregate amount of the unpaid Company Transaction Expenses.
(g) Adjustments. If the Company, at any time or from time to time between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, declares or pays any dividend on Capital Stock payable in Capital Stock or in any right to acquire Capital Stock, or effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock into a greater number of shares of Capital Stock, or in the event the outstanding shares of Capital Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Capital Stock, or a record date with respect to any of the foregoing shall occur during such period, then the amounts payable in respect of shares of Outstanding Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(a) and the amounts payable in respect of shares of Capital Stock subject to Outstanding Vested Options pursuant to Section 1.6 shall be appropriately adjusted.
5
1.6 Treatment of Stock Options and Warrants.
(a) Vested Stock Options. Subject to Section 1.8(h), each Option that is vested, outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time (including all Options that vest contingent upon the Merger) (each such Option being referred to in this Agreement as an “Outstanding Vested Option”) shall not be assumed or substituted with an equivalent option or right but shall terminate and shall be cancelled at the Effective Time, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive for each share of Capital Stock subject to such Outstanding Vested Option:
(i) an amount in cash equal to: (A) the Per Share Amount; minus (B) the exercise price per share of Capital Stock subject to such Outstanding Vested Option; minus (C) the Per Share Escrow Amount per share of Capital Stock; minus (D) the Per Share Securityholders’ Agent Amount;
(ii) any cash disbursements required to be made out of the Escrow Amount with respect to such share of Capital Stock to the former holder of such Outstanding Vested Option in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; and
(iii) any cash disbursements required to be made out of the Securityholders’ Agent Amount with respect to such share of Capital Stock to the former holder of such Outstanding Vested Option in accordance with the Securityholders’ Agent Amount Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made.
Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action that may be necessary (under the Stock Plans or otherwise) to effectuate the provisions of this Section 1.6(a) and to ensure that, from and after the Effective Time, each holder of an Outstanding Vested Option cancelled as provided in this Section 1.6(a) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the consideration specified in this Section 1.6(a), without interest.
(b) Unvested Stock Options. At the Effective Time, each Outstanding Unvested Option shall be converted into and become an option to purchase Parent Common Stock, with such conversion effected through Parent (i) assuming such Outstanding Unvested Option or (ii) replacing such Outstanding Unvested Option by issuing a reasonably equivalent replacement stock option to purchase Parent Common Stock in substitution therefor, in either case in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of this Agreement) of the applicable Stock Plan, and the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Outstanding Unvested Option is evidenced and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of Code Sections 409A and 422 such that each such assumed or replaced Option is exempt from Code Section 409A and maintains its status as an “incentive stock option” (if applicable), to the extent permitted by the Code. All Outstanding Unvested Options shall be assumed or replaced by Parent and all rights thereunder shall thereupon be converted into rights with respect to Parent Common Stock. Accordingly, from and after the Effective Time: (A) each Outstanding Unvested Option assumed or replaced by Parent may be exercised solely for shares of Parent; (B) the number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each Outstanding Unvested Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by multiplying the number of shares of Company’s Common Stock that were subject to such Outstanding Unvested Option immediately prior
6
to the Effective Time by the Conversion Ratio (as defined below), and rounding the resulting number down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock; (C) the per share exercise price for the Parent Common Stock issuable upon exercise of each Outstanding Unvested Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall be determined by dividing the per share exercise price of Common Stock subject to such Outstanding Unvested Option, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, by the Conversion Ratio, and rounding the resulting exercise price up to the nearest whole cent; and (D) subject to the terms of the stock option agreement by which such Outstanding Unvested Option is evidenced, any restriction on the exercise of any Outstanding Unvested Option assumed or replaced by Parent shall continue in full force and effect and the term, exercisability, vesting schedule and other provisions of such Outstanding Unvested Option shall otherwise remain unchanged as a result of the assumption or replacement of such Outstanding Company Option; 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 each Outstanding Unvested Option assumed or replaced by Parent. The “Conversion Ratio” means a fraction having a numerator equal to Per Share Amount and having a denominator equal to the average of the closing sale prices of a share of Parent Common Stock as reported by the New York Stock Exchange for each of the five consecutive trading days immediately preceding the Closing Date; provided, however, that if, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Company’s Common Stock or Parent Common Stock are changed into a different number or class of shares by reason of any stock split, division or subdivision of shares, stock dividend, reverse stock split, consolidation of shares, reclassification, recapitalization or other similar transaction, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted to the extent appropriate.
(c) Warrants. Each Warrant that is outstanding and unexercised immediately prior to the Effective Time shall not be assumed or substituted with an equivalent warrant or right but shall terminate and shall be cancelled at the Effective Time, and the holder thereof shall be entitled to receive for each share of Capital Stock subject to such Warrant:
(i) an amount in cash equal to: (A) the Per Share Amount; minus (B) the exercise price per share of Capital Stock subject to such Warrant; minus (C) the Per Share Escrow Amount per share of Capital Stock; minus (D) the Per Share Securityholders’ Agent Amount;
(ii) any cash disbursements required to be made out of the Escrow Amount with respect to such share of Capital Stock to the former holder of such Warrant in accordance with the Escrow Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made; and
(iii) any cash disbursements required to be made out of the Securityholders’ Agent Amount with respect to such share of Capital Stock to the former holder of such Warrant in accordance with the Securityholders’ Agent Amount Agreement, as and when such disbursements are required to be made.
(d) Payment. Following the Effective Time, Parent shall pay through the payroll services of Parent or the Company to each holder of an Outstanding Vested Option, the consideration specified in Section 1.6(a), without interest. Payment of the amounts specified in Section 1.6(c) with respect to Warrants will be made by the Payment Agent at Closing.
7
1.7 Dissenting Shares.
(a) Effect on Dissenting Shares. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Capital Stock held by a holder who has properly asserted such holder’s dissenter’s rights under the DGCL, and as of the Closing has neither effectively withdrawn nor lost (through failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s right to payment of the “fair value” for such shares under the DGCL (the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into the applicable Merger Consideration, but shall be entitled to only such rights as are granted by the DGCL. Parent shall be entitled to retain any Merger Consideration not paid on account of such Dissenting Shares pending resolution of the claims of such holders, and the Effective Time Holders shall not be entitled to any portion of such retained Merger Consideration.
(b) Loss of Dissenting Share Status. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.7(a), if any holder of shares of Capital Stock who has asserted such holder’s right to payment of the “fair value” for such holder’s shares under the DGCL shall effectively withdraw or lose (through the failure to perfect or otherwise) such holder’s dissenters’ rights, then such holder’s shares of Capital Stock shall thereupon be deemed automatically to have been converted, as of the Effective Time, into the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration, without interest thereon, promptly following the surrender of the certificate or certificates representing such shares of Capital Stock or upon the delivery of an appropriate affidavit, in each case, in accordance with Section 1.8.
(c) Notice of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice of any demands for payment for shares of Capital Stock received by the Company, withdrawals of any demands, and any other instruments or notices served or otherwise delivered pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company; provided, however, the Company shall control and direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands or other instruments or notices with reasonable participation by the Parent upon Parent’s request. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent (which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed, withheld or conditioned), make any payment with respect to, settle or offer to settle any such demands.
8
1.8 Exchange of Certificates.
(a) Payment Agent. On or prior to the Closing Date, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to the Company to act as payment agent in the Merger (the “Payment Agent”). On or prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Payment Agent cash sufficient to pay the cash consideration payable pursuant to Sections 1.5(a)(ii)(A) and 1.6(c). The cash amount so deposited with the Payment Agent is referred to herein as the “Payment Fund.” The Payment Agent will be instructed to invest the funds included in the Payment Fund in the manner directed by Parent, but any risk of loss shall remain with Parent. Any interest or other income resulting from the investment of such funds shall be the property of, and will be paid to, Parent.
(b) Letter of Transmittal. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall mail to each Person who is a record holder of Capital Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time: (i) a letter of transmittal containing such provisions as Parent or the Payment Agent may specify (including a provision confirming that delivery of Company Stock Certificates (as defined in Section 1.8(d)) shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to Company Stock Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of such Company Stock Certificates to the Payment Agent, a general release and a provision whereby such holder agrees to be bound by the provisions of Sections 1.8, 9, 10.1 and the other applicable provisions of this Agreement), in each case as reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Letter of Transmittal”); and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the exchange of Company Stock Certificates for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such Capital Stock. Upon the surrender to the Payment Agent of a Company Stock Certificate (or an affidavit of lost stock certificate as described in Section 1.8(e)), together with a duly executed Letter of Transmittal and such other documents as Parent or the Payment Agent may reasonably request, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor cash in an amount equal to the Merger Consideration, if any, which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.5(a) at the time of such surrender, the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled, and the amount equal to the Merger Consideration shall be paid to such holder promptly. From and after the Effective Time, each Company Stock Certificate which prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Capital Stock shall be deemed to represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares, and the holder of each such Company Stock Certificate shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Capital Stock formerly represented thereby.
(c) Payments to Others. If payment of Merger Consideration in respect of shares of Capital Stock converted pursuant to Section 1.5 is to be made to a Person other than the Person in whose name a surrendered Company Stock Certificate is registered, it shall be a condition to such payment that the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other similar Taxes required by reason of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Company Stock Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax either has been paid or is not payable.
(d) Stock Transfer Books. As of the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall not be any further registration of transfers of shares of
9
Capital Stock thereafter on the records of the Company. If, after the Effective Time, certificates for shares of Outstanding Capital Stock (“Company Stock Certificates”) are presented to the Surviving Corporation, they shall be canceled and exchanged for the Merger Consideration, if any, payable with respect to such shares as provided for in Section 1.5. No interest shall accrue or be paid on any Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of a Company Stock Certificate.
(e) Lost Certificates. In the event any Company Stock Certificate representing shares of Outstanding Capital Stock shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of any Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificate, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and indemnity agreement (in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company (or Securityholders’ Agent after the Effective Time)) against any claim that may be made against the Payment Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any affiliated party with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.
(f) Undistributed Payment Funds. Any portion of the Payment Fund that remains undistributed to Effective Time Holders as of the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date shall be delivered to Parent upon demand, and Effective Time Holders who have not theretofore surrendered their Company Stock Certificates in accordance with this Section 1.8 shall thereafter look only to Parent for satisfaction of their claims for the Merger Consideration payable with respect to the shares of Capital Stock previously represented by such Company Stock Certificates, and/or shares of Capital Stock subject to Vested Outstanding Options, in each case without any interest thereon.
(g) Escheat. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Parent nor any other Person shall be liable to any Effective Time Holder or to any other Person for any amount paid to a public official pursuant to applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar applicable Legal Requirement. Any Merger Consideration or other amounts remaining unclaimed by Effective Time Holders three years after the Effective Time (or such earlier date immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Entity) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, become the property of Parent free and clear of any Lien.
(h) Withholding. Each of the Payment Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Securityholder or former Securityholder of the Company such amounts as Parent determines in good faith are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld and paid over to the appropriate Taxing Authority, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.
10
1.9 Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is reasonably determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

4.3 Notification; Updates to Disclosure Schedule.
(a) Notification. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall promptly notify Parent in writing of: (i) the discovery by any Acquired Company of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurred or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement and that caused or constitutes a breach of or an inaccuracy in any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement; (ii) the discovery of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that occurs, arises or exists after the date of this Agreement and that would cause or constitute a breach of or an inaccuracy
46
in any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement if: (A) such representation or warranty had been made as of the time of the occurrence, existence or discovery of such event, condition, fact or circumstance; or (B) such event, condition, fact or circumstance had occurred, arisen or existed on or prior to the date of this Agreement; (iii) the discovery of any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company; and (iv) the discovery of any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would make the timely satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 or Section 7 impossible or unlikely (each such notice, a “Disclosure Supplement”). No such Disclosure Supplement shall be deemed to supplement or amend the Disclosure Schedule for the purpose of (i) determining the accuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by the Company in this Agreement, or (ii) determining whether any of the conditions set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied, except as specifically provided in Section 4.3(b).
(b) Updates. If any event, condition, fact or circumstance that is required to be disclosed in a Disclosure Supplement first occurs or exists after the date of this Agreement, does not arise because of a breach of a covenant hereunder, causes any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement to be untrue and results in the failure of one or more conditions in Section 6, then Parent must either (i) terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 8.1(f) within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Disclosure Supplement, or (ii) the Disclosure Schedule shall automatically be deemed to be (x) properly supplemented by and (y) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 2 shall be deemed not to be breached by any such event, condition, fact or circumstance so disclosed. If the event, condition, fact or circumstance first occurs or exists prior to the date of this Agreement, then the Disclosure Supplement will not affect the obligations of the Effective Time Holders to indemnify any breach of the representations and warranties of the Company resulting from the event, condition, facts or circumstances disclosed in the Disclosure Supplement.
4.4 No Negotiation. During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall not, and shall use reasonable efforts to ensure that no Representative of the Company, nor any Acquired Company nor any Representative of any Acquired Company shall: (a) solicit or encourage the initiation or submission of any expression of interest, inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction; (b) participate in any discussions or negotiations or enter into any agreement, understanding or arrangement with, or provide any non-public information to, any Person (other than Parent or its Representatives) relating to or in connection with a possible Acquisition Transaction; or (c) entertain or accept any proposal or offer from any Person (other than Parent) relating to a possible Acquisition Transaction.

For any Company Benefit Plans to be terminated as described in this Section 4.5, (i) the Company shall deliver to Parent, no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, evidence that the Company’s board of directors has validly adopted resolutions to terminate such Company Benefit Plans (the form and substance of which resolutions shall be subject to review and approval of Parent). In the event that the distributions of assets from the trust of a 401(k) Plan which is terminated are reasonably anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges, or other fees to be imposed upon the account of any participant or beneficiary of such terminated plan or upon any Acquired Company or plan sponsor, then the Company shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to Parent at least three Business Days prior to the Effective Time and such amount shall not be taken into account for purposes of calculating the Net Working Capital.
4.6 FIRPTA Matters. At the Closing: (a) the Company shall deliver to Parent a statement (in such form as may be reasonably requested by counsel to Parent) conforming to the requirements of Section 1.897-2(h)(1)(i) of the United States Treasury Regulations (the “FIRPTA Statement”); and (b) the Company shall deliver to the Internal Revenue Service the notification required under Xxxxxxx 0.000 - 0(x)(0) xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Treasury Regulations (the “FIRPTA Notification”).

4.9 Resignation of Officers and Directors. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Parent, at or prior to the Closing, the resignation of each officer and director of each Acquired Company from their respective corporate offices (but not their employment) with the Acquired Companies, effective as of the Effective Time (or, at the option of Parent, a later time), which resignations shall be effective as of the Effective Time and shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Parent.

At least five Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall prepare and deliver to Parent an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of immediately prior to the Closing (the “Closing Balance Sheet”), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent, together with documentation, reasonably satisfactory to Parent, in support of the calculation of the amounts set forth therein. The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP and on a basis consistent with the Financial Statements and in accordance
48
with the Company’s historic past practice and shall set forth, and contain all of the information necessary to calculate the Net Working Capital, the Working Capital Shortfall Amount, if any, the Working Capital Surplus Amount, if any, the Cash, the Cash Items, the Cash Surplus Amount, if any, and the Cash Shortfall Amount, if any. At least three Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company shall deliver to Parent (a) an estimated Merger Consideration Certificate (as defined in Section 6.6(d)), setting forth the information required by Section 6.6(d) and (b) a statement (the “Closing Date Indebtedness Statement”) signed by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company (on behalf and in the name of the Company), which sets forth, by lender, the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness. Attached to the Closing Date Indebtedness Statement will be copies of the Pay Off Letters (as defined in Section 4.11) delivered in accordance with Section 4.11. Nothing in this Section 4.10 shall limit any rights of any Indemnitee as set forth in Section 9.
4.11 Pay Off Letters. The Company shall request each holder of Indebtedness under the agreements identified in Section 2.6(b) of the Disclosure Schedule to prepare and deliver to the Company and Parent pay off letters, no later than three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, setting forth (a) the amounts required to pay off in full on the Closing Date the Indebtedness owing to such creditor (including the outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest and prepayment and other penalties) and wire transfer information for such payment; (b) upon payment of such amounts, a complete release of each Acquired Company, Parent and the Surviving Corporation; and (c) the commitment of such creditor to release all Liens, if any, which such creditor may hold on any of the assets of any Acquired Company within a designated time period after the Closing Date (the “Pay Off Letters”). The Company shall cause the Pay Off Letters to be updated, as necessary, on the Closing Date.
4.12 Indemnification; Tail Insurance. For a period of six (6) years from and after the Closing Date, Parent shall cause the Surviving Corporation to indemnify and hold harmless all past and present officers and directors of each Acquired Company (the “Company Indemnified Parties”) to the same extent such persons are indemnified as of the date of this Agreement by an Acquired Company (including, if applicable, advancement of expenses) pursuant to the Restated Certificate or the indemnification agreements identified on the Disclosure Schedule for acts or omissions taken or failed to be taken by such person prior to the Effective Time in such person’s capacity as a director or officer, as applicable, of any Acquired Company.
(a) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall purchase an extended reporting period endorsement under the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage (the “D&O Tail”) for the Acquired Companies’ directors and officers in a form mutually acceptable to the Company and Parent, which shall provide such directors and officers with coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable to the insured persons than the terms of, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage currently maintained by the Company.
(b) The provisions of this Section 4.12 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Company Indemnified Parties and their heirs and personal representatives and shall be binding on the Parent and the Surviving Corporation and their respective successors and assigns.
49
4.13 Tax Returns.
(a) Each Acquired Company shall prepare and file in a timely manner (taking into account timely extensions) all Tax Returns required to be filed by it that are due on or before the Closing Date. On or before the Closing Date, each Acquired Company shall pay in a timely manner all Taxes that are due and payable and payable from it on or before the Closing Date. Each such Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent in all material respects with past practices employed with respect to the Acquired Companies and, subject to the foregoing, shall utilize accounting methods, elections and conventions that do not have the effect of distorting the allocation of taxable amounts and deductions between the Tax periods covered by such Tax Returns and subsequent Tax periods. Parent shall have the right to review any such Tax Return thirty (30) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return, and the Acquired Companies shall consider in good faith any adjustments to such Tax Return that are reasonably requested by Parent.
(b) Following the Closing, and except as otherwise provided in Section 4.13(a), Parent shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed in a timely manner all Tax Returns relating to the Acquired Companies that are due after the Closing Date with respect to Tax periods beginning before the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns”), and shall timely pay all Taxes due with respect to such Pre-Closing Date Returns. Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns shall be prepared, and each item thereon treated, in a manner consistent in all material respects with past practices employed with respect to the Acquired Companies (except to the extent Parent’s counsel or outside accounting firm reasonably determines that such treatment is not more-likely-than-not correct) and shall utilize accounting methods, elections and conventions that do not have the effect of distorting the allocation of taxable amounts and deductions between the Tax periods covered by such Tax Returns and subsequent Tax periods. If any of the Escrow Amount is then held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, the Securityholders’ Agent, on behalf of the Effective Time Holders, shall have the right to review any such Tax Return that is an income or other material Tax Return ten (10) days prior to the filing of such Tax Return, and Parent shall consider in good faith any adjustments to such Tax Return that are reasonably requested by the Securityholders’ Agent (except to the extent Parent’s counsel or outside accounting firm reasonably determines that such treatment is not more-likely-than-not correct). Parent shall be entitled to deduct from the Escrow Amount (i) Taxes due with respect to Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns that relate to Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and (ii) Taxes due with respect to Pre-Closing Date Tax Returns that relate to Straddle Periods that are attributable (as set forth in the definition of “Straddle Period”) to the portion of such Straddle Periods ending on the Closing Date, but only to the extent that such Taxes due were not taken into account as liabilities in computing the Net Working Capital.
(c) None of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Acquired Company shall amend any previously filed Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period without prior review with the Securityholders’ Agent, if the amendment would result in a material increase in tax liabilities for any period prior to the Closing Date, and Parent shall consider in good faith any adjustments to such amended Tax Return that are reasonably requested by the Securityholders’ Agent (except to the extent Parent’s counsel or outside accounting firm reasonably determines that such treatment is not more-likely-than-not correct). Neither the amount of Taxes
50
reflected on any such amended Tax Return nor the consent of the Securityholders’ Agent to the filing thereof shall be dispositive of the right of any Indemnitee to indemnification pursuant to Section 9. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.13(c) shall preclude the Securityholders’ Agent from asserting that an amended Tax Return of any Acquired Company for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period should not have been filed.
(d) Provided that the related Taxes either (i) have been paid by an Acquired Company on or prior to the Closing Date, (ii) have been taken into account as a liability in the Net Working Capital, or (iii) have resulted in a claim against the Escrow Amount in accordance with Section 9, any refunds of Taxes or credits for overpayment of Taxes that are actually received in cash, or actually reduce the cash Taxes required to be paid, by Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Acquired Company shall be for the account of the Effective Time Holders, and Parent will, and will cause the Surviving Corporation or any of their Affiliates to, deliver and pay over (either directly or through the Payment Agent) to the Effective Time Holders any such refund or the amount of any such credit within ten (10) business days after receipt. All other refunds and credits shall be for the account of the Surviving Corporation, Parent or their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable.
(e) Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns with respect to any Acquired Company or its operations, and any audit, examination, or other administrative or judicial proceeding, contest, assessment, notice of deficiency, or other adjustment or proposed adjustment with respect to Taxes of or attributable to any Acquired Company or its operations (a “Tax Contest”).
4.14 Intellectual Property Matters. On or before the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a complete and accurate list of all actions that must be taken by any Acquired Company within 120 days after the Closing Date, including the payment of any registration, maintenance or renewal fees and the filing of any documents, applications or certificates, for purposes of maintaining, perfecting, preserving or renewing any Material Intellectual Property.

52
of the Code (together, the “Section 280G Payments”). Any such stockholder approval shall be sought by the Company in a manner which satisfies all applicable requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such Treasury Regulations.

5.5 Employee Benefits
(a) Employment; Service Credit; Waiver of Pre-Existing Condition Limitations; Etc. Parent shall cause each employee of each Acquired Company who continues to be employed by any Acquired Company immediately after the Effective Time (each a “Continuing Employee”) to be provided with compensation and benefits that are in the aggregate commensurate with the compensation and benefits provided to similarly-situated employees of Parent; provided, however, that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed as a guarantee of continued employment of any Continuing Employee. Subject to applicable plan provisions, contractual requirements and applicable Legal Requirements, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) credit each Continuing Employee for their past service with the Acquired Companies for purposes of eligibility and vesting under Parent’s 401(k), medical, vision and dental plans (except to the extent such service credit will result in benefit accruals or the duplication of benefits); (ii) grant the Continuing Employees such service credit for purposes of Parent’s vacation leave policy (except to the extent such service credit will result in benefit accruals or the duplication of benefits); and (iii) cause any and all pre-existing condition limitations, eligibility waiting periods and evidence of insurability requirements under the terms of the employee arrangements of Parent (such arrangements, the “Parent Benefit
53
Arrangements”) that are group health plans to be waived with respect to such Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents.
(b) No Third Party Beneficiaries; No Restrictions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) nothing in this Section 5.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent Parent or the Surviving Corporation from changing its compensation structure or employee benefit programs or obligate Parent or the Surviving Corporation to provide any particular type or amount of compensation or benefits to any Company Employee, including any Continuing Employee, or shall be construed as resulting in any Continuing Employee being employed other than on an “at will” basis, or as obligating Parent or the Surviving Corporation to employ any Continuing Employee for any length of time following the Effective Time; and (ii) no Continuing Employee, and no other Company Employee, shall be deemed to be a third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
5.6 Verification of Net Working Capital.
(a) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) verify the calculation of the Net Working Capital, the Working Capital Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Working Capital Surplus Amount, if any, in each case using the methodologies used to calculate such amounts at Closing, and (ii) deliver notice thereof to the Securityholders’ Agent.
(b) If the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Working Capital Surplus Amount, and the Working Capital Surplus Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6 exceeds the Working Capital Surplus Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate, then Parent shall pay to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent), within 120 days after the Closing Date, the amount by which the Working Capital Surplus Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6 exceeds the Working Capital Surplus Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate. (For example, if the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Working Capital Surplus Amount of $3,000,000 and Parent calculates, pursuant to Section 5.6(a), that the actual Working Capital Surplus Amount was $3,500,000, then Parent would be required to pay $500,000 to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent) pursuant to this Section 5.6(b).)
(c) If the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Working Capital Shortfall Amount, and the Working Capital Shortfall Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6 is less than the Working Capital Shortfall Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate, then Parent shall pay to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent), within 120 days after the date of this Agreement, the amount by which the Working Capital Shortfall Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate exceeds the Working Capital Shortfall Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6.
(d) If the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Working Capital Shortfall Amount, and Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent finally determine in accordance with this Section 5.6 that there was a Working Capital Surplus Amount, then Parent shall pay to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent), within 120 days after the date of this
54
Agreement, an amount equal to the sum of the Working Capital Shortfall Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate and the Working Capital Surplus Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6.
(e) If (i) the Working Capital Surplus Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate exceeds the Working Capital Surplus Amount calculated by Parent and as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6, (ii) the Working Capital Shortfall Amount calculated by Parent and as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6 exceeds the Working Capital Shortfall Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate or (iii) the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Working Capital Surplus Amount and Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent finally determine in accordance with this Section 5.6 that there was a Working Capital Shortfall Amount, then (without limiting any of Parent’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement), the Effective Time Holders shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent, an amount equal to such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of (A) in the case of clause (i) herein, the amount by which the Working Capital Surplus Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate exceeds the Working Capital Surplus Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6, (B) in the case of clause (ii) herein, the amount by which the Working Capital Shortfall Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6 exceeds the Working Capital Shortfall Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate or (C) in the case of clause (iii) herein, the amount of the sum of the Working Capital Surplus Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate plus the Working Capital Shortfall Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.6. Any payment pursuant to this Section 5.6 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the aggregate consideration paid in the Merger to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(f) The Securityholders’ Agent shall have 30 days following receipt of Parent’s calculation of the Net Working Capital during which to notify Parent of any dispute with such calculations, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. If the Securityholders’ Agent does not notify Parent of any such dispute within such 30 day period, such calculations of Parent shall be deemed final. If the Securityholders’ Agent notifies Parent of any such dispute within such 30 day period, Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible, and upon such resolution, the calculation of the Net Working Capital shall be deemed final in accordance with the agreement of Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent.
(g) If Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent are unable to resolve any dispute regarding Parent’s calculation of the Net Working Capital within 30 days (or such longer period as Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall mutually agree in writing), following notice of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by, (i) the Washington, D.C. office of Ernst & Young, or (ii) in the event such accounting firm is unable or unwilling to take such assignment, a “Big Four” accounting firm mutually agreed upon by Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent (such identified accounting firm or, if applicable, the firm so selected, the “Arbitrator”). Such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall instruct the Arbitrator to make a final determination of the Net Working Capital and the Working Capital Shortfall Amount or the Working Capital Surplus
55
Amount, as applicable, based solely on the items that are in dispute and that, in resolving such items in dispute and in determining such calculations, the Arbitrator shall not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or the Securityholders’ Agent, on the other hand, or (B) less than the smallest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or the Securityholders’ Agent, on the other hand. The Arbitrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days following its engagement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrator (1) shall be borne by Parent in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of all such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by Parent (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (2) shall be paid by the Securityholders’ Agent on behalf of the Effective Time Holders out of the Securityholders’ Agent Amount in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by Parent (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such items so submitted. If any disputes are submitted to the Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 5.6(f), the calculation of the Net Working Capital shall be deemed final in accordance with the decision of the Arbitrator and, to the extent applicable, the agreement of Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent.
5.7 Verification of Cash and Cash Items.
(a) Within 90 days after the Closing Date, Parent shall (i) verify the calculation of the Cash, the Cash Items, the Cash Shortfall Amount, if any, and the Cash Surplus Amount, if any, and (ii) deliver notice thereof to the Securityholders’ Agent.
(b) If the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Cash Surplus Amount, and the Cash Surplus Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7 exceeds the Cash Surplus Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate, then Parent shall pay to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent), within 120 days after the Closing Date, the amount by which the Cash Surplus Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7 exceeds the Cash Surplus Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate. (For example, if the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Cash Surplus Amount of $3,000,000 and Parent calculates, pursuant to Section 5.7(a), that the actual Cash Surplus Amount was $3,500,000, then Parent would be required to pay $500,000 to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent) pursuant to this Section 5.7(b).)
(c) If the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Cash Shortfall Amount, and the Cash Shortfall Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7 is less than the Cash Shortfall Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate, then Parent shall pay to the Effective Time Holders (either directly or through the Payment Agent), within 120 days after the date of this Agreement, the amount by which the Cash Shortfall Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate exceeds the Cash Shortfall Amount calculated by Parent and finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7.
(d) If the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Cash Shortfall Amount, and Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent finally determine in accordance with this Section 5.7 that there was a Cash Surplus Amount, then Parent shall pay to the Effective Time Holders (either
56
directly or through the Payment Agent), within 120 days after the date of this Agreement, an amount equal to the sum of the Cash Shortfall Amount set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate and the Cash Surplus Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7.
(e) If (i) the Cash Surplus Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate exceeds the Cash Surplus Amount calculated by Parent and as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7, (ii) the Cash Shortfall Amount calculated by Parent and as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7 exceeds the Cash Shortfall Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate or (iii) the Merger Consideration Certificate stated that there was a Cash Surplus Amount and Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent finally determine in accordance with this Section 5.7 that there was a Cash Shortfall Amount, then (without limiting any of Parent’s other rights or remedies under this Agreement), the Effective Time Holders shall pay by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Parent, an amount equal to such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of (A) in the case of clause (i) herein, the amount by which the Cash Surplus Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate exceeds the Cash Surplus Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7, (B) in the case of clause (ii) herein, the amount by which the Cash Shortfall Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7 exceeds the Cash Shortfall Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate or (C) in the case of clause (iii) herein, the amount of the sum of the Cash Surplus Amount stated in the Merger Consideration Certificate plus the Cash Shortfall Amount as finally determined in accordance with this Section 5.7. Any payment pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be treated by the parties as an adjustment to the aggregate consideration paid in the Merger to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(f) The Securityholders’ Agent shall have 30 days following receipt of Parent’s calculation of the Cash and the Cash Items during which to notify Parent of any dispute with such calculations, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for such dispute. If the Securityholders’ Agent does not notify Parent of any such dispute within such 30 day period, such calculations of Parent shall be deemed final. If the Securityholders’ Agent notifies Parent of any such dispute within such 30 day period, Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall cooperate in good faith to resolve any such dispute as promptly as possible, and upon such resolution, the calculation of the Cash and the Cash Items shall be deemed final in accordance with the agreement of Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent.
(g) If Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent are unable to resolve any dispute regarding Parent’s calculation of the Cash and the Cash Items within 30 days (or such longer period as Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall mutually agree in writing), following notice of such dispute, such dispute shall be submitted to, and all issues having a bearing on such dispute shall be resolved by, (i) the Washington, D.C. office of Ernst & Young, or (ii) in the event such accounting firm is unable or unwilling to take such assignment, the Arbitrator. Such resolution shall be final and binding on the parties hereto. Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent shall instruct the Arbitrator to make a final determination of the Cash and the Cash Items and the Cash Shortfall Amount or the Cash Surplus Amount, as applicable, based solely on the items that are in dispute and that, in resolving such items in dispute and in determining such calculations, the Arbitrator shall not assign to any item in dispute a value that is (A) greater than the greatest value for such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or the Securityholders’ Agent, on the other hand, or (B) less than the smallest value for
57
such item assigned by Parent, on the one hand, or the Securityholders’ Agent, on the other hand. The Arbitrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete its work within thirty (30) days following its engagement. The fees, costs and expenses of the Arbitrator (1) shall be borne by Parent in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of all such disputed items so submitted that are unsuccessfully disputed by Parent (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of such items so submitted and (2) shall be paid by the Securityholders’ Agent on behalf of the Effective Time Holders out of the Securityholders’ Agent Amount in the proportion that the aggregate dollar amount of such disputed items so submitted that are successfully disputed by Parent (as finally determined by the Arbitrator) bears to the aggregate dollar amount of all such items so submitted. If any disputes are submitted to the Arbitrator pursuant to this Section 5.7(f), the calculation of the Cash and the Cash Items shall be deemed final in accordance with the decision of the Arbitrator and, to the extent applicable, the agreement of Parent and the Securityholders’ Agent.

warranties, covenants and obligations of the Company or the Securityholders’ Agent are part of the basis of the bargain contemplated by this Agreement; and such representations, warranties, covenants and obligations, and the rights and remedies that may be exercised by the Indemnitees with respect thereto, shall not be waived, limited or otherwise affected by or as a result of (and the Indemnitees shall be deemed to have relied upon such representations, warranties, covenants or obligations notwithstanding) any knowledge on the part of any of the Indemnitees or any of their Representatives, regardless of whether obtained through any investigation by any Indemnitee or any Representative of any Indemnitee or through disclosure by the Company or any other Person, and regardless of whether such knowledge was obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement.
(e) Disclosure Schedule. For purposes of this Agreement, each statement or other item of information set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or in any update to the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty made by the Company in this Agreement.
9.2 Indemnification.
(a) Indemnification. From and after the Effective Time (but subject to Section 9.1), each Effective Time Holder shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees for, such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of any Damages which are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time by any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise directly or indirectly become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third party claim) and which arise directly or indirectly from or as a result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:
(i) any inaccuracy or alleged inaccuracy in or breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement as of the date of this Agreement (solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages, without giving effect to (A) any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation or warranty, or (B) any update or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement, including any Disclosure Supplement, except as specifically provided in Section 4.3(b));
(ii) any inaccuracy or alleged inaccuracy in or breach or alleged breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company (A) in this Agreement as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing, or (B) in the Company Closing Certificate (in each case, solely for purposes of determining the amount of any Damages, without giving effect to (1) any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar qualifications limiting the scope of such representation or warranty, or (2) any update or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement, including any Disclosure Supplement, except as specifically provided in Section 4.3(b)));
(iii) any breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company or the Securityholders’ Agent in this Agreement;
67
(iv) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any Liability of any Acquired Company relating to any Tax, together with any Damages (including court and administrative costs and reasonable legal fees and expenses incurred in investigating and preparing for any audit, examination, litigation or other judicial or administrative proceeding) arising out of, in connection with or incident to the determination, assessment or collection of any such Tax: (A) imposed on any Acquired Company, or for which any Acquired Company is otherwise liable, for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or for the portion of any Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date (as determined as set forth in the definition of “Straddle Period” in Exhibit A); (B) resulting from the inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.8 (determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect, Knowledge or similar qualifiers or update of or modification to the Disclosure Schedule made or purported to have been made on or after the date of this Agreement); (C) of or imposed on any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any Acquired Company (or any predecessor of any Acquired Company) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) or any analogous or similar applicable Legal Requirement; (D) of or imposed on any other Person for which any Acquired Company is or has been liable as a transferee or successor, by Contract or otherwise; (E) any Transfer Taxes; or (F) any Transaction Payroll Tax, in each case other than any Tax that was included as a liability in calculation of the Net Working Capital set forth in the Merger Consideration Certificate or included as a Company Transaction Expense; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Effective Time Holders shall not have any indemnification obligations to any Indemnitee with respect to (1) any Taxes attributable to any action taken by Parent with respect to any Acquired Company after the Closing outside of the ordinary course of business (including making a Code Section 338(g) election or similar election), or (2) any Taxes attributable to any Tax period or portion of a period beginning after the Closing Date; or (3) the amount, value or condition of, or any limitations on, any Tax Attribute, or the ability of Parent or any of its Affiliates (including the Surviving Corporation and any Acquired Company) to utilize such Tax Attributes after the Closing, and any Damages incurred by reason of any reduction in any of the foregoing, whether such reduction occurs by reason of the carryback or other utilization of such Tax Attribute by an Acquired Company, the redetermination of the amount of such Tax Attribute by any taxing authority or otherwise, except to the extent giving rise to Taxes described in clause (A) of this Section 9.2(a)(iv);
(v) regardless of the disclosure of any matter set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, the exercise by any stockholder of the Company of such stockholder’s dissenters’ rights under the DGCL (it being understood that if a final determination of the fair value of any Dissenting Shares is made by a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with any such exercise of dissenters’ rights, then the only portion of such fair value to be included in calculation of the Damages incurred as a result of such exercise is the amount, if any, by which such fair value exceeds what otherwise would have been payable by Parent with respect to such Dissenting Shares in accordance with Section 1.5);
68
(vi) the Company Transaction Expenses to the extent not paid on prior to the Effective Time or otherwise taken into account in the calculation of the Merger Consideration; or
(vii) the dispute identified in Item 2 of Section 2.7 of the Disclosure Schedule, regardless of any disclosure in the Disclosure Schedule.
(b) Damage to Parent. The parties acknowledge and agree that, if the Surviving Corporation suffers, incurs or otherwise becomes subject to any Damages 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 Indemnitee) Parent shall also be deemed, by virtue of its ownership of the stock of the Surviving Corporation, to have incurred Damages as a result of and in connection with such inaccuracy or breach, but in either case the total amount both Parent and the Surviving Corporation may recover shall not exceed the amount of Damages of the Surviving Corporation.
(c) Multiple Claims. Notwithstanding the fact that an Indemnitee may have the right to assert claims for indemnification under or in respect of more than one provision, representation, warranty or covenant of this Agreement in respect of any fact, event, condition or circumstance, no Indemnitee shall be entitled to double recovery (or recovery more than once) for the amount of any Damages suffered by such Indemnitee to the extent such Indemnitee has otherwise been already compensated for such Damages.
9.3 Limitations.
(a) Threshold. Subject to Section 9.3(b), the Effective Time Holders shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i), Section 9.2(a)(ii) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Indemnitees, or to which any one or more of the Indemnitees has or have otherwise directly or indirectly become subject, exceeds $500,000 (the “Threshold Amount”) in the aggregate. If the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Threshold Amount, then the Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for the amount of Damages exceeding the Threshold Amount in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement.
(b) Applicability of Threshold. The limitation set forth in Section 9.3(a) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Effective Time Holder) (i) in the event of willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud (whether on the part of such Effective Time Holder, any other Effective Time Holder, any Acquired Company or any Representative of any Acquired Company), provided that an Effective Time Holder shall not be liable for the willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud of any other Effective Time Holder in excess of such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount, or (ii) in the case of a breach of a Fundamental Representation.
(c) Sole and Exclusive Remedy; Recourse to Escrow Amount. The indemnification rights of the Indemnitees contained in this Section 9 shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnitees for any and all Damages arising out of or related to this Agreement
69
and any certificate required to be executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise executed and delivered at the Closing (but specifically excluding any Release, Noncompetition Agreement or employment agreement). Subject to Section 9.3(d), recourse by the Indemnitees to deduction from the Escrow Amount shall be the Indemnitees’ sole and exclusive recourse under this Agreement for monetary Damages.
(d) Applicability of Liability Cap. The limitation set forth in Section 9.3(c) shall not apply (and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of any Effective Time Holder) in the event of willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud (whether on the part of such Effective Time Holder, any other Effective Time Holder, any Acquired Company or any Representative of any Acquired Company) provided that an Effective Time Holder shall not be liable for the willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud of any other Effective Time Holder in excess of such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount, or to breaches of Fundamental Representations. Subject to Section 10.3, the total amount of indemnification payments that each Effective Time Holder that was not directly or indirectly involved in any willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud can be required to make to the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.2 shall be such Effective Time Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Escrow Amount, and the total amount of indemnification payments that each Effective Time Holder can be required to make to the Indemnitees pursuant to Section 9.2 as a result of breaches of Fundamental Representations shall be limited to the aggregate Merger Consideration such Effective Time Holder was entitled to receive pursuant to Sections 1.5 and 1.6.
(e) Effect of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made pursuant to this Section 9 shall be treated by all parties as adjustments to the aggregate consideration paid in the Merger to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(f) Insurance. Any claim for indemnification shall be reduced by an amount equal to all insurance proceeds or other payments from any third party, if any, actually received by Indemnitee less any increase in premiums or other recovery costs to such Person as a result of such claim for insurance proceeds. Each Indemnitee shall use reasonable efforts to pursue all insurance claims to which it may be entitled in connection with any Damages it incurs that are indemnifiable under this Section 9. If any Indemnitee actually receives any insurance or other third party payment in connection with any claim for Damages for which it has already been indemnified pursuant to this Section 9, it shall pay to the Parent for further distribution to the Effective Time Holders in accordance with the terms hereof within thirty (30) days after such payment is actually received.
(g) Mitigation. Each Indemnitee shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to defend against any claim that could result in an indemnification obligation under this Section 9, and will consult and cooperate with the Securityholders’ Agent with respect to the defense and settlement of such claim, with a view towards mitigating claims, losses, Liabilities, Damages, deficiencies, costs and expenses resulting therefrom. However, it is expressly understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing obligation, Parent, the Company, and their Affiliates will in all events be entitled to continue to operate the Company’s business in the same manner that it is being conducted by the Company prior to the Effective Date (or in which the Company plans to conduct its business as of the Effective Date); that Parent, the Company and their Affiliates will not be obligated
70
to make any changes in the way the Company conducts its business as of the Effective Date (or plans to conduct its business as of the Effective Date) as a result of any such claim; and that no Indemnitee will be required to assert a claim against a third party.
9.4 No Contribution. Each Effective Time Holder waives, and acknowledges and agrees that such Effective Time Holder shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or advancement of expenses or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation or any Acquired Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such Effective Time Holder may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other agreement or document delivered to Parent in connection with this Agreement. Effective as of the Closing, the Securityholders’ Agent, on behalf of itself and each Effective Time Holder, expressly waives and releases any and all rights of subrogation, contribution, advancement, indemnification or other claim against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any Acquired Company.
9.5 Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Surviving Corporation, any Acquired Company, Parent or any other Person) with respect to which any Effective Time Holder may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to Section 9, Parent shall have the right, at its election, to control and proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Securityholders’ Agent (and for this purpose, it is acknowledged and agreed that Weil, Gotshal & Xxxxxx is satisfactory to the Securityholders’ Agent), and the Securityholders’ Agent shall be entitled, at its expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, the defense of such third party claim. If Parent so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding:
(a) subject to the other provisions of Section 9, all reasonable expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Effective Time Holders;
(b) each Effective Time Holder shall make available to Parent any documents and materials in such Effective Time Holder’s possession or control that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding; and
(c) Parent shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Legal Proceeding; provided, however, that if Parent settles, adjusts or compromises any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the consent of the Securityholders’ Agent, such settlement, adjustment or compromise shall not be conclusive evidence of the amount of Damages incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such claim or Legal Proceeding (it being understood that if Parent requests that the Securityholders’ Agent consent to a settlement, adjustment or compromise, the Securityholders’ Agent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent).
If Parent does not elect to proceed with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding, the Securityholders’ Agent may proceed with the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Parent; provided, however, that the Securityholders’ Agent may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim or Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of Parent
71
(which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Parent shall give Securityholders’ Agent prompt notice of the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding against Parent, Merger Sub or the Company; provided, however, that any failure on the part of Parent to so notify the Securityholders’ Agent shall not limit any of the obligations of the Effective Time Holders under Section 9 (except to the extent such failure materially prejudices the defense of such Legal Proceeding).
If Parent proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Legal Proceeding as contemplated under this Section 9.5, upon the request of Parent, Securityholders’ Agent hereby agrees to instruct the Escrow Agent to pay to Parent from the Escrow Amount an amount equal to the reasonable expenses of Parent relating to the defense of such claim or Legal Proceeding as such expenses are incurred by Parent (regardless of the provisions of Section 9.6).
9.6 Indemnification Claim Procedure. If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered, or believes in good faith that it may incur or suffer, Damages for which it is or may be entitled to be held harmless, indemnified, compensated or reimbursed under Section 9 or for which it is or may be entitled to a monetary remedy (such as in the case of a claim based on willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud), such Indemnitee may deliver a notice of claim (a “Notice of Claim”) to the Securityholders’ Agent. Each Notice of Claim shall state the basis for such claim and each Indemnitee shall make available to the Securityholders’ Agent any documents and materials in such Indemnitee’s possession or control supporting the claims set forth in the Notice of Claim. In the event the Securityholders’ Agent does not notify the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days following its receipt of a Notice of Claim that the Securityholders’ Agent (on behalf of the Effective Time Holders) disputes the liability of the Effective Time Holders to the Indemnitee under this Section 9 or the amount thereof, the claim specified in such Notice of Claim shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Effective Time Holders under this Section 9, and Parent may claim from the Escrow Amount or, to the extent the remaining funds in the Escrow Amount are insufficient to cover the amount of such claim and such claim is not subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.3(c) in accordance with Section 9.3(d), the Effective Time Holders shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnitee on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion of the claim) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion of such claim) becomes finally determined. In the event the Securityholders’ Agent has timely disputed the liability of the Effective Time Holders (a “Claim Objection”) with respect to such claim as provided above, as promptly as possible, such Indemnitee and the Securityholders’ Agent shall establish the merits and amount of such claim (by mutual agreement, litigation, arbitration or otherwise) and if an agreement is reached, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties and shall be furnished to the Escrow Agent. If such Indemnitee and the Securityholders’ Agent do not reach an agreement as to the merits and amount of such claim within thirty (30) days immediately after the date such Claim Objection is delivered to Parent, either Parent or the Company (or the Securityholder Representative after the Effective Time) may demand arbitration of the matter unless the amount of the damage or loss is at issue in pending litigation with a third party, in which event arbitration shall not be commenced until such amount is ascertained or both parties agree to arbitration. Any arbitration requested pursuant to this Section 9.6 shall be settled by arbitration conducted by three (3) arbitrators. Parent and the Company (or the Securityholders’ Agent after the Effective Time) shall each select one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) arbitrators so selected shall select
72
a third arbitrator. The arbitrator shall, within ten (10) business days after the last day of any hearings on any motion, issue a definitive ruling on such motion. The arbitrator shall also, within twenty (20) Business Days from the last day of any hearings regarding the imposition of sanctions or the issuance of any awards, issue a definitive ruling on the imposition of any such sanctions or the issuance of any such award in such arbitration. The arbitrator shall also establish procedures designed to reduce the cost and time for discovery, while allowing the parties a reasonable opportunity, adequate in the sole judgment of the arbitrator, to discover relevant information from the opposing parties about the subject matter of the dispute. The arbitrator shall rule upon motions to compel or limit discovery and shall have the authority to impose sanctions, including attorneys fees and costs, to the same extent as a court of competent law or equity, should the arbitrator determine that discovery was sought without substantial justification or that discovery was refused or objected to without substantial justification. The decision of the arbitrator, or a majority of the three (3) arbitrators, as applicable, shall be binding and conclusive upon the parties to this Agreement, and the Escrow Agent shall be entitled to act in accordance with such decision and make or withhold payments out of the Escrow Fund in accordance therewith. Such decision shall be written and shall be supported by written findings of fact and conclusions, which shall set forth the award, judgment, decree or order awarded by the arbitrator. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration shall be held in Wilmington, Delaware, under the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association.
9.7 Setoff. In addition to any rights of setoff or other similar rights that Parent or any of the other Indemnitees may have at common law or otherwise, Parent shall have the right to withhold and deduct any sum that is or may be owed to any Indemnitee under this Section 9 from any amount otherwise payable by any Indemnitee to any Effective Time Holder.
9.8 Exercise of Remedies Other Than by Parent. No Indemnitee (other than Parent or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless Parent (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

(b) Authority. The Effective Time Holders grant to the Securityholders’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such Effective Time Holders (in the name of any or all of the Effective Time Holders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Securityholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Securityholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing its duties as contemplated by Section 10.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby: (i) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Securityholders’ Agent on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 9; and (ii) each Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Effective Time Holder by the Securityholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Effective Time Holder by the Securityholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such Effective Time Holder. All actions of the Securityholders’ Agent shall be deemed to be facts ascertainable outside this Agreement and shall be binding on the Effective Time Holders as a matter of contract law.

74
(d) Replacement. If the Securityholders’ Agent shall die, resign, become disabled or otherwise be unable to fulfill his responsibilities hereunder, the Effective Time Holders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Merger Consideration), within 10 days after such death, resignation, disability or inability, appoint a successor to the Securityholders’ Agent (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Securityholders’ Agent as Securityholders’ Agent hereunder. If for any reason there is no Securityholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Securityholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Effective Time Holders. All immunities and rights to indemnification shall survive: (i) the resignation or removal of the Securityholders’ Agent or any member of the Advisory Group and (ii) the Closing or any termination of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.
(e) Limitation on Liability. Certain Effective Time Holders have entered into a letter agreement with the Securityholders’ Agent to provide direction to the Securityholders’ Agent in connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (such Effective Time Holders, including their individual Representatives, hereinafter referred to as the “Advisory Group”). Neither the Securityholders’ Agent, its Representatives nor any member of the Advisory Group (collectively, the “Agent Group”), shall be liable to any Effective Time Holders arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Securityholders’ Agent’s duties hereunder without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(f) Indemnification. The Effective Time Holders shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent Group from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fees, costs, expenses (including fees, disbursements and costs of counsel and other skilled professionals and in connection with seeking recovery from insurers), judgments, fines or amounts paid in settlement (collectively, the “Agent Expenses”) incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Agent Group and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties hereunder. Such Agent Expenses may be recovered first, from the Securityholders Agent Fund, second, from any distribution of the Escrow Amount otherwise distributable to the Effective Time Holders at the time of distribution, and third, directly from the Effective Time Holders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Effective Time Holders acknowledge that the Securityholders’ Agent shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the exercise or performance of any of its powers, rights, duties or privileges or administration of the Securityholders’ Agent’s duties.
(g) Reliance. The Securityholders’ Agent shall be entitled to: (i) rely upon the Merger Consideration Certificate, (ii) rely upon any signature believed by it to be genuine, and (iii) reasonably assume that a signatory has proper authorization to sign on behalf of the applicable Effective Time Holder or other party.
(h) Expense Fund. The Expense Fund shall be held by the Securityholders’ Agent as agent and for the benefit of the Effective Time Holders in a segregated client account and it shall be used for the purposes of paying directly, or reimbursing the Securityholders’ Agent for, any Agent Expenses incurred pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or any Securityholders’ Agent engagement agreement. The Securityholders’ Agent will hold these funds separate from its corporate
75
funds and will not voluntarily make these funds available to its creditors in the event of bankruptcy. The Securityholders’ Agent is not providing any investment supervision, recommendations or advice. The Securityholders’ Agent shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss of principal of the Expense Fund other than as a result of its gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Securityholders’ Agent is not acting as a withholding agent or in any similar capacity in connection with the Expense Fund, and has no tax reporting or income distribution obligations hereunder. As soon as reasonably determined by the Securityholders’ Agent that the Expense Fund is no longer required to be withheld, the Securityholders’ Agent shall distribute the remaining Expense Fund (if any) to the Payment Agent for further distribution to the Effective Time Holders.
10.2 Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall execute and cause to be delivered to each other party hereto such instruments and other documents, and shall take such other actions, as such other party may reasonably request (prior to, at or after the Closing) for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
10.3 No Waiver Relating to Claims for Willful Misconduct, Intentional Misrepresentation or Fraud. The liability of any Person under Section 9 will be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other liability that such Person may have at law or in equity to the extent based on such Person’s willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, none of the provisions set forth in this Agreement, including the provisions set forth in Section 9, shall be deemed a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right or remedy which such party may have at law or in equity to the extent based on a Person’s willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud, nor will any such provisions limit, or be deemed to limit: (a) the amounts of recovery sought or awarded in any such claim for willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud against such Person; (b) the time period during which a claim for willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or fraud may be brought; or (c) the recourse which any such party may seek against another Person with respect to a claim for such Person’s fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.
Section 1.3. Disbursement of the Escrow Amount.
(a) General.

2
Eastern Time on or prior to the thirtieth (30th) calendar day following the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such Claim Notice, then the Escrow Agent shall distribute amounts from the Escrow Amount with respect to such Claim in excess of any Admitted Liability only (A) pursuant to Joint Written Instructions or (B) pursuant to a Certified Final Order.

Within two (2) Business Days following receipt of Joint Written Instructions or a Certified Final Order, as the case may be, the Escrow Agent shall make payment in accordance with such Joint Written Instructions or Certified Final Order.

3
revisions or rescissions shall be effective only after actual receipt and following such period of time as may be necessary to afford the Escrow Agent a reasonable opportunity to act on it.

Parent Security Agreement
Parent certifies that the names, titles, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses and specimen signatures set forth in Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1 identify the persons authorized to provide direction and initiate or confirm transactions, including funds transfer instructions, on behalf of Parent, and that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 is the security procedure selected by Parent for use in verifying that a funds transfer instruction received by the Escrow Agent is that of Parent.
Parent has reviewed each of the security procedures and has determined that the option checked in Part III of this Exhibit B-1 best meets its requirements; given the size, type and frequency of the instructions it will issue to the Escrow Agent. By selecting the security procedure specified in Part III of this Exhibit B-1, Parent acknowledges that it has elected to not use the other security procedures described and agrees to be bound by any funds transfer instruction, whether or not authorized, issued in its name and accepted by the Escrow Agent in compliance with the particular security procedure chosen by Parent.
NOTICE: The security procedure selected by Parent will not be used to detect errors in the funds transfer instructions given by Parent. If a funds transfer instruction describes the beneficiary of the payment inconsistently by name and account number, payment may be made on the basis of the account number even if it identifies a person different from the named beneficiary. If a funds transfer instruction describes a participating financial institution inconsistently by name and identification number, the identification number may be relied upon as the proper identification of the financial institution. Therefore, it is important that Parent take such steps as it deems prudent to ensure that there are no such inconsistencies in the funds transfer instructions it sends to the Escrow Agent.
Part I
Name, Title, Telephone Number, Electronic Mail (“e-mail”) Address and Specimen Signature for person(s) designated to provide direction, including but not limited to funds transfer instructions, and to otherwise act on behalf of Parent.

¨ | Option 1. Confirmation by telephone call-back. The Escrow Agent shall confirm funds transfer instructions by telephone call-back to a person at the telephone number designated on Part II above. The person confirming the funds transfer instruction shall be a person other than the person from whom the funds transfer instruction was received, unless only one person is designated in both Parts I and II of this Exhibit B-1. |

Parent understands the risks associated with communicating sensitive matters, including time sensitive matters, by e-mail. Parent further acknowledges that instructions and data sent by e-mail may be less confidential or secure than instructions or data transmitted by other methods. The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss of the confidentiality of instructions and data prior to receipt by the Escrow Agent. |
¨ | CHECK box, if applicable: |
If the Escrow Agent is unable to obtain confirmation by e-mail, the Escrow Agent may, at its discretion, confirm by telephone call-back, as described in Option 1.

The Escrow Agent offers the option to deliver funds transfer instructions through a password protected file transfer system.

The provisions of this paragraph (b) will not apply to Confidential Information or Trade Secrets that otherwise become generally known in the industry or to the public through no act of Securityholder or any Person acting by or on Securityholder’s behalf, or, subject to Section 1(g), which is required to be disclosed by court order or applicable Regulation. Nothing in this Agreement shall diminish the rights of Parent or the Company or its Subsidiaries regarding the protection of Trade Secrets and other intellectual property pursuant to applicable Regulations.
c.Noncompetition.
(1)Acknowledgment. Securityholder acknowledges that the Company conducts the Company Activities throughout the Territory and that, to protect adequately the interest of Parent in the business and goodwill of the Company, it is essential that any noncompetition covenant with respect thereto cover all Company Activities and the entire Territory for the duration of the Term.
(2)Trade Name. Securityholder hereby agrees that, during the Term, except on behalf of Parent and its Affiliates, neither Securityholder nor any of his Affiliates will, directly or by assisting others, own, manage, operate, join, control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation, or control of any business conducted under any corporate, product, or trade name or trademark or service xxxx of, the Company, its Subsidiaries or Parent, or name or xxxx similar thereto, without the prior written consent of Parent.
(3)Noncompetition Covenant. Securityholder hereby agrees that, during the Term, except on behalf of Parent and its Affiliates, neither Securityholder nor any of his Affiliates will, directly or by assisting others, conduct Company Activities in the Territory or otherwise engage in, have an equity or profit interest in, loan money to or render services (of an executive, management, marketing, sales, research and development, business development, strategic planning, administrative, financial, or consulting nature) to or on behalf of any Person engaged in Company Activities in the Territory. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Securityholder may acquire up to one percent (1%) of any class of securities of any company engaged in Company Activities in the Territory where such securities are publicly traded on a national securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market so long as Securityholder holds such securities as a passive investment and does not take an active part in the management or direction of such company and does not act as a consultant therefor or in any way render services thereto.
(4)Nonsolicitation.
3
(A) Securityholder hereby agrees that, during the Term, except on behalf of Parent and its Affiliates, neither Securityholder nor any of his Affiliates will, directly or by assisting others, (1) solicit or attempt to solicit, any business from any Person who was a customer of the Company or any Subsidiary as of the Closing Date or at any time during the one-year period prior to the Closing Date, including actively sought prospective customers, for purposes of providing products or services that are competitive with the Company Activities, or (2) provide to any such customer or prospective customer products or services that are competitive with the Company Activities.
(B) Securityholder hereby agrees that, during the Term, neither Securityholder nor any of his Affiliates will (on behalf of Securityholder or any other Person), directly or by assisting others, hire, recruit, or solicit or attempt to hire, recruit, or solicit, any person who was an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary on the Closing Date, it being understood that this Section 1(c)(4)(B) shall not restrict Securityholder or its Affiliates from placing notices of general solicitation of employment; provided that, for purposes of clarification, such notices shall not relieve Securityholder or its Affiliates from the restriction against hiring in this Section 1(c)(4)(B).
d.Reformability. If a judicial or arbitral determination is made that any provision of this Agreement constitutes an unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable restriction against Securityholder, such provision shall be rendered void only to the extent that such judicial or arbitral determination finds the provision to be unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable with respect to Securityholder. In this regard, Securityholder hereby agrees that any judicial or arbitral authority construing this Agreement shall be empowered to reform any portion of the Territory, any prohibited business activity or any time period in order to make the covenants herein binding and enforceable with respect to Securityholder, and to apply the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce against Securityholder the remaining portion of the Territory, the remaining business activities, and the remaining time period as such judicial or arbitral authority determines to be reasonable and enforceable. All of the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be construed as an agreement independent of any other provisions in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of action Securityholder may have against Parent (other than in connection with a material breach of this Agreement by Parent) shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Parent to such covenants. Moreover, notwithstanding the fact that any provision of this Agreement is determined not to be specifically enforceable, Parent shall nevertheless be entitled to recover monetary damages as a result of the breach of such provision by Securityholder.
e.Indemnification. Securityholder hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Parent and its Affiliates from, against and in respect of any and all losses, damages, deficiencies, awards, assessments, judgments, fines, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred as a result of any breach or default in the
4
performance by Securityholder or any of his Affiliates of any covenant or agreement of Securityholder contained in this Agreement.
f.Injunctive Relief. The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by Securityholder of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement: (a) Parent shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to seek: (i) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (ii) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (b) Parent shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such decree, order or injunction or in connection with any related action or Proceeding.
g.Legal Process. In the event that Securityholder or any of his Affiliates is requested or required (by deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or similar process), in connection with any Proceeding, to disclose any Confidential Information or Trade Secrets during the applicable period specified in Section 1(b), Securityholder will give Parent prompt written notice of such request or requirement so that Parent may, at Parent’s expense, seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, and Securityholder will cooperate with Parent to obtain such protective order. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or Parent waives in writing compliance with the relevant provisions of this Agreement, Securityholder will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information or Trade Secrets which is legally required to be disclosed.
2.Miscellaneous.
a.Entire Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the other agreements referred to in the Merger Agreement set forth the entire understanding of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among or between any of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
