Each holder of Dissenting Shares who becomes entitled to payment for the fair cash value of such shares pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL will receive such payment therefor from the applicable Surviving Corporation in accordance with the DGCL; provided, however, that if any such holder of Dissenting Shares (a) fails to establish such holder’s entitlement to appraisal rights as provided in Section 262 of the DGCL or (b) withdraws such holder’s demand for appraisal of such shares or waives or loses such holder’s right to appraisal and payment for such holder’s shares under Section 262 of the DGCL, such holder will forfeit the right to appraisal of such shares and each such share will not constitute a Dissenting Share and will be treated as if it had been converted and automatically exchanged into the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, from the applicable Surviving Corporation the portion of the APX Merger Consideration, Solar Merger Consideration or 2GIG Merger Consideration, as the
8
case may be, deliverable in respect thereof as determined in accordance with this Article I and Article II, without any interest thereon. Each Company will give Buyer (i) prompt notice of any demands received by such Company for appraisal of any applicable shares, withdrawals of such demands and any other instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by such Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in any proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. Prior to the Effective Time, no Company will, without the prior written consent of Buyer, make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.
1.9 Rollover. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer has entered into, and prior to the Closing Buyer intends to enter into, share contribution, rollover and subscription agreements (each, a “Rollover Agreement”) with certain Company Interest Holders (the “Rollover Equityholders”) pursuant to which, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Rollover Equityholders will exchange certain of the Companies Group Equity held by such Rollover Equityholders (the “Rolled Equity”) for equity securities of Buyer (collectively, the “Rollover Transactions”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all Companies Group Equity owned by Buyer at the Effective Time will be automatically cancelled and will cease to exist and no consideration will be delivered in exchange therefor, except for any amounts required to be paid into any of the Escrow Funds pursuant to Article II in respect of such Rolled Equity, which amounts will be paid into the Escrow Funds and will otherwise be treated for all purposes hereunder as if such Rolled Equity were still held by the applicable Rollover Equityholder at the Effective Time. Each Rollover Equityholder will retain the right to receive any payments from the Escrow Funds in respect of any Rolled Equity contributed to Buyer by such Rolled Equityholder, when, if and to the extent such amounts would have become payable to such Rollover Equityholder had such Rollover Equityholder held such Rolled Equity at the Effective Time. For the avoidance of doubt, the Rolled Equity will be treated as if it was outstanding at the Effective Time for purposes of calculating the allocation of the consideration payable to the other Company Interest Holders.

(i) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of APX and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “APX Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and a calculation of the Net Worth of APX and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date based on the APX Closing Date Balance Sheet (“Proposed Final APX Net Worth Amount”), in each case, determined without giving effect to the consummation of the APX Merger. The APX Closing Date Balance Sheet will be prepared using APX’s Applicable Accounting Practices;
(ii) an unaudited consolidated balance sheet of Solar and its Subsidiaries as of the close of business on the Closing Date (the “Solar Closing Date Balance Sheet”) and a calculation of the Net Worth of Solar and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date based on the Solar Closing Date Balance Sheet (“Proposed Final Solar Net Worth Amount”), in each case, determined without giving effect to the consummation of the Solar Merger.

The 2GIG Closing Date Balance Sheet will be prepared using 2GIG’s Applicable Accounting Practices.
(c) Following the Closing, Buyer will provide the Representatives and their representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to the records, properties, personnel and auditors of the Companies and their respective Subsidiaries in connection with the Representatives’ review of the applicable portion of the Proposed Final Closing Statement, and will cause the personnel of each Company and its respective Subsidiaries, including their respective officers, to reasonably cooperate with the applicable Representative in connection therewith.
(d) If a Representative disagrees with the calculation of any applicable amounts set forth in the Proposed Final Closing Statement, it will notify Buyer of such disagreement in writing, setting forth in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement, within 60 days after the delivery by Buyer of the Proposed Final Closing Statement (any such disagreements so notified in writing within such timeframe, the “Specified Items”). In the event that any Representative does not provide such a notice of disagreement within such 60-day period, such Representative will be deemed to have accepted the Proposed Final Net
14
Worth Closing Amounts, and the Proposed Final APX Net Worth Amount will be deemed to be Final APX Net Worth Amount, the Proposed Final Solar Net Worth Amount will be deemed to be Final Solar Net Worth Amount and the Proposed Final 2GIG Net Worth Amount will be deemed to be the Final 2GIG Net Worth Amount. In the event any such notice of disagreement is timely provided with respect to a Proposed Final Closing Statement, Buyer and the applicable Representative will use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of 45 days (or such longer period as they may mutually agree) to resolve any applicable Specified Items. If, at the end of such period, they are unable to resolve any such Specified Items, then Duff & Xxxxxx Corp. (or such other independent accounting firm of recognized national standing as may be mutually selected by Buyer and the applicable Representative(s)) (the “Accounting Firm”) will resolve any remaining disagreements. The Accounting Firm will determine as promptly as practicable, but in any event within 30 days of the date on which such dispute is referred to the Accounting Firm, whether the applicable Proposed Final Net Worth Amounts subject to dispute were prepared in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2.4(b) and whether and to what extent (if any) the applicable Proposed Final Net Worth Amount(s) requires adjustment. The determinations of the Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding on the parties hereto. The Accounting Firm will act to resolve only the Specified Items that remain unresolved at the time of the Accounting Firm’s determination, and will resolve the dispute over such unresolved Specified Items based on the submissions of Buyer and the relevant Representative, without audit or discovery, and may not assign a value to any particular item that is greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party in dispute or less than the lowest value for such item claimed by either party in dispute, in each case as presented to the Accounting Firm. The fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm will be borne on a proportionate basis by the applicable Representative (in which case the amount will be paid out of the applicable Adjustment Escrow Fund) on the one hand, and by Buyer, on the other hand, by the party (either the applicable Representative, in which case the amount will be paid out of the applicable Adjustment Escrow Fund, or Buyer) based on the percentage which the portion of the contested amount not awarded to such Person bears to the amount actually contested by such Person, as finally determined by the Accounting Firm.
(e) The Net Worth of (i) APX and its Subsidiaries, (ii) Solar and its Subsidiaries, and (iii) 2GIG and its Subsidiary, in each case as of the close of business on the Closing Date and as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.4, are referred to herein as the “Final APX Net Worth Amount,” the “Final Solar Net Worth Amount” and “Final 2GIG Net Worth Amount,” respectively (each, a “Final Net Worth Amount”).

Since its date of incorporation, no Merger Sub has carried on any business or conducted any operations other than the execution of this Agreement, the performance of its obligations hereunder and matters ancillary thereto.

36
Transactions have been duly and validly authorized and approved by the Board of Directors or comparable governing body of Buyer and each of the Merger Subs, and no other corporate or comparable proceeding on the part of Buyer or a Merger Sub is necessary to authorize this Agreement (other than the adoption of this Agreement by Buyer in its capacity as the sole stockholder of each Merger Sub, which adoption will occur immediately following execution of this Agreement).

4.3 No Conflict.

4.4 Litigation and Proceedings. There are no pending or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, threatened, Actions at law or in equity, or, to the Knowledge of Buyer, investigations, before or by any Governmental Authority against Buyer or a Merger Sub which, if determined adversely, would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of Buyer or a Merger Sub to enter into this Agreement or timely consummate the Transactions.

37
attachments thereto, from the financial institutions identified therein, together with the fee letter, with only the fee amounts redacted (the “Redacted Fee Letter”) (collectively, the “Debt Financing Letter” and, together with the Equity Financing Commitments, the “Financing Commitments”) to provide, subject only to the terms and conditions therein, debt financing in the amounts set forth therein (being collectively referred to as the “Debt Financing” and, together with the Equity Financing, collectively referred to as the “Financing”).

Buyer and Merger Subs have fully paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Financing Commitments that are payable on or prior to the date of this Agreement. Assuming (A) the Financing is funded in accordance with the Financing Commitments, (B) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III hereof, and (C) compliance by the Companies with their covenants hereunder, the net proceeds contemplated by the Financing Commitments, together with the Companies’ cash on hand, will in the aggregate be sufficient for Buyer, the Merger Subs and the Surviving Corporations to pay each of the amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions (including the repayment of any outstanding indebtedness that may become due on the Closing Date) and to pay all related fees and expenses of Buyer, the Merger Subs and the Surviving Corporations.

As of the date of this Agreement, assuming satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by Law) waiver of the conditions to Buyer’s and the Merger Subs’ obligation to consummate the Transactions, none of Buyer nor the Merger Subs have any reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Financing will not be satisfied or that the Financing will not be made available to Buyer or the Merger Sub on the Closing Date. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as expressly set forth in the Financing Commitments.

threatened to be instituted) challenging the Transactions (or any portion thereof) as in violation of any Antitrust Law, each of Buyer and each Company will cooperate and use its reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such Action and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Governmental Order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions unless Buyer and any of the Companies mutually agree that litigation is not in their respective best interests. In connection with and without limiting the foregoing, each of Buyer and each Company will take promptly any and all steps necessary to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority, so as to enable the parties hereto to close the Transactions as promptly as possible, including, in the case of Buyer, agreeing to, and thereafter using its best efforts to cause to be implemented in accordance with their terms, such divestiture, hold-separate or other orders or remedies as any Governmental Authority may require to permit the Transactions to be consummated as promptly as possible and in any event prior to the Termination Date.
(c) Buyer will be solely responsible for and pay all filing fees payable to Governmental Authorities under any Antitrust Law.
5.5 Indemnification and Insurance. (a) From and after the Closing Date, the Buyer will cause each Surviving Corporation and each of its Subsidiaries to maintain in effect all rights of any individual who, on or prior to the Closing Date was a director or officer of such Company or any of its Subsidiaries to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing Date as provided in (i) the respective certificate of incorporation or similar organizational documents of the applicable Company or its applicable Subsidiary and (ii) any director and/or officer indemnification agreement set forth on Schedule 3.14 hereto, in each case to survive the Closing Date and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
(b) At or prior to the Closing, each Company may purchase a “tail” policy of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, the cost of which will be deemed to be a APX Transaction Expense, Solar Transaction Expense or 2GIG Transaction Expense, as applicable, in each case to the extent unpaid as of the Closing.
(c) The provisions of this Section 5.5 will survive the Closing and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified Person hereunder and its successors and representatives. The rights of the indemnified Persons under this Section 5.5 will be in addition to any rights such Persons may have under the organizational or indemnification documents of Buyer, the applicable Company or any of their Subsidiaries, by contract or by law.
(d) The obligations under this Section 5.5 will not be terminated or modified by Buyer or the applicable Surviving Corporation in a manner as to adversely affect any indemnified Person to whom this Section 5.5 applies without the consent of the affected indemnified Person. In the event that either Buyer or the applicable Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Persons or (ii) transfers 50% or more of its properties or assets to any Person, then and in each case, proper provision will be made so that the applicable successors and assigns or transferees assume the obligations set forth in this Section 5.5.
44
5.6 280G Stockholder Vote. Prior to the Closing, the Companies will seek shareholder approval that satisfies the requirements of Q/A-7 of the regulations under Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”), including soliciting the waiver, to the extent necessary, by all persons who are “disqualified individuals” within the meaning of Section 280G of all payments and benefits in the nature of compensation that could, but for such waiver (as applicable) and approval, reasonably be expected to be treated as “parachute payments” under Section 280G (either alone or in combination with any other event). In connection with the foregoing, the Companies will provide drafts of all documentation related to such waiver and shareholder vote to Buyer for reasonable prior review and comment and will reasonably consider comments timely provided by Buyer to the Companies with respect to such documentation.
5.7 Employment Matters. (a) For a period of one year following the Closing Date, Buyer will cause each Surviving Corporation to continue to provide the active employees of the applicable Company and such Company’s Subsidiaries with salary, wages, bonus opportunities, commissions, if applicable, and benefits (excluding in all cases, equity-based compensation and benefits), which in the aggregate are at least substantially equivalent to the salary, wages, bonus opportunities, commissions, if applicable, and benefits (excluding in all cases, equity-based compensation and benefits) provided prior to the Closing Date by such Company or its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. This Section 5.7 will not limit the obligation of a Surviving Corporation to maintain any Employee Plan that, pursuant to an existing Contract, must be maintained for a period longer than one year. No provision of this Agreement will be construed as a guarantee of continued employment of any employee of a Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and this Agreement will not be construed so as to prohibit the Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries from having the right to terminate the employment of any employee of a Surviving Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.
(b) Each employee and former employee of a Company and its Subsidiaries will be credited with his or her years of service with such Company and its Subsidiaries (and any predecessor entities thereof) before the Closing Date under any employee benefit plan of Buyer and its Subsidiaries providing benefits similar to those provided under an Employee Plan to the same extent as such employee or former employee was entitled, before the Closing Date, to credit for such service under such Employee Plan; provided, that the foregoing will not apply to the extent it would result in a duplication of benefits. With respect to the applicable plan year in which Buyer ceases to maintain any particular Employee Plan, each employee will be given credit for amounts paid under such Employee Plan for purposes of applying deductibles, co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the parallel plan, program or arrangement of Buyer or its Subsidiaries.
(c) Prior to the Closing, each Company will pay all commissions, bonuses and other compensation to its employees and other service providers that is due and payable as of such date in accordance with the terms of such arrangements and will otherwise timely make all payments of commission, bonuses and other compensation in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and without delay, including those amounts set forth on Schedule 5.7(c).
45
(d) No provision of this Section 5.7 (i) creates any third-party beneficiary or other rights for any employee of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries (including any beneficiary or dependent thereof), (ii) constitutes an employment agreement or an amendment to or adoption of any employee benefit plan of or by any member of Buyer, the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries, or (iii) will, except with respect to an APX Employee Payment Contract, alter or limit the ability of Buyer, the Companies or any of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any benefit plan, program, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored or maintained by any of them in accordance with the terms of such plan, program agreement or arrangement and applicable Law.
5.8 Escrow Agreement. At or prior to the Closing, Buyer, the Escrow Agent and a duly authorized representative of each Representative will execute and deliver the Escrow Agreement.
5.9 APX Post-Closing Employee Payments. (a) Following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation will cooperate as may be reasonably requested by the APX Representative for purposes of determining whether any APX Employee Post-Closing Payments are required to be made pursuant to the APX Employee Payment Contracts. Without limiting the foregoing, if, after the Closing, any Person entitled to an APX Employee Post-Closing Payment pursuant to an APX Employee Payment Contract ceases to be employed by or provide services to the applicable Surviving Corporation or one of its Affiliates, the APX Surviving Corporation will promptly provide the APX Representative with (i) the date on which such Person ceased to provide services or be employed and (ii) a brief description of the circumstances that resulted in the cessation, and the APX Representative will be entitled to rely on the Surviving Corporation’s position regarding the circumstances that resulted in the cessation of employment.
(b) At any time after the Closing Date that any Employee Post-Closing Payments become due pursuant to the terms of the Employee Payment Contracts, the APX Representative will calculate such amounts and deliver to Buyer and the Escrow Agent a Subsequent Payments Schedule with respect thereto, identifying (i) the amount of each APX Employee Post-Closing Payment payable to the Person entitled thereto, (ii) the aggregate portion of the APX Employee Escrow Fund that, as of such date, is no longer payable to the applicable participants pursuant to the terms of the applicable Employee Payment Contracts, whether as a result of the prior cessation of employment or services of such participants or otherwise (collectively, “Forfeited Post-Closing Employee Payments”), and (iii) the applicable portion of the Forfeited Post-Closing Employee Payments payable to each APX Post-Closing Payee and, to the extent Forfeited Post-Closing Employee Payments relate to payments made in accordance with the APX Alarm Securities Solutions, Inc. 2GIG Special Incentive Plan, certain 2GIG Post-Closing Payees. Within three Business Days following the delivery to Buyer and the Escrow Agent of such Subsequent Payments Schedule, Buyer and the APX Representative will cause the Escrow Agent to pay (A) the amounts identified in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence to the APX Surviving Corporation for distribution to the APX Post-Closing Employees pursuant to Section 2.5 and (B) the amounts identified in clauses (ii) and (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence to be distributed in the same manner as the APX Escrow Amount is distributed pursuant to Section 8.7(a).
46
(c) The APX Surviving Corporation will be solely responsible for the calculation of any applicable withholding and payroll deductions to be made to any payments that may be payable pursuant to Section 5.9(b).
5.10 Repurchase of Contracts. APX will take such actions as may be necessary to exercise, at the Closing, subject to the payment by Buyer of the repurchase amounts set forth in Sections 2.2(f) and 2.2(g), APX’s rights to acquire all rights, title and interest in the Assets to be Acquired (as defined in each of the RBS Agreement, the Riverwoods II Agreement and the Riverwoods III Agreement) (collectively, the “Account Repurchases”).
5.11 Public Announcements. The initial press release announcing this Agreement will be in substantially the form previously agreed to by representatives of the parties. Thereafter, no party will issue any press release or otherwise make any similar public announcement with respect to the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer and the Companies, except to the extent required by Law or Governmental Authority, in which case it will, if practicable in the circumstances, use its reasonable efforts to consult with the other party with respect to the timing and content thereof.
5.12 Termination of Certain Arrangements. Effective immediately prior to the Closing, each Company will take such action as is required to cause the Contracts set forth in Schedule 5.12 to be terminated in their entirety, and will deliver to Buyer evidence of such termination in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.
5.13 No Solicitation. From the date of this Agreement through the Closing Date, the Companies will not, and will direct their respective Affiliates, stockholders, directors, officers, agents, employees and other representatives not to, directly or indirectly (a) discuss, negotiate, undertake, initiate, authorize, assist, recommend, propose or enter into, whether as the proposed surviving, merged, acquiring or acquired corporation or otherwise, any transaction involving a merger, consolidation, business combination, purchase or disposition of any material amount of the assets of the Companies and their Subsidiaries or any capital stock or other ownership interest in any of the Companies or their Subsidiaries, other than the Transactions (an “Acquisition Transaction”), (b) facilitate or encourage, solicit or initiate discussions, negotiations or submissions of proposals or offers in respect of an Acquisition Transaction, (c) furnish or cause to be furnished to any Person, any information concerning the business, operations, properties or assets of the Acquired Companies in connection with an Acquisition Transaction, or (d) otherwise cooperate in any way with, or assist or participate in, facilitate or encourage, any effort or attempt by any other Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. Promptly following the date hereof, the Companies will exercise any contractual rights available to any of them to cause each Person (other than Buyer and its representatives, including the Financing Sources and their representatives) who received non-public or confidential information of any of the Companies or any of their Subsidiaries in connection with any possible Acquisition Transaction to cause such Persons to promptly return to the Companies or destroy such information.
5.14 Disclosure Schedule. In the preparation of Disclosure Schedules prior to the date hereof, the Companies have included in the Disclosure Schedule items that may not be material
47
in order to avoid any misunderstanding, and such inclusion, or any references to dollar amounts, will not be deemed to be an acknowledgement or representation that such items are material, to establish any standard of materiality or to define further the meaning of such terms for purposes of this Agreement. Information disclosed in any Disclosure Schedule delivered by the Companies will qualify any representation and warranty herein to the extent that the relevance or applicability of the information disclosed with respect to the representation and warranty is reasonably apparent on its face, notwithstanding the absence of a reference or cross-reference to such representation and warranty on any such Disclosure Schedule or the absence of a reference or cross-reference to such Disclosure Schedule in such representation and warranty. Descriptions of terms or documents summarized in the Disclosure Schedule will be qualified in their entirety by the documents themselves; provided that such documents, including all amendments, exhibits, schedules and other attachments thereto, have been made available to Buyer prior to the date hereof.
5.15 Financing Activities. (a) Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and obtain the Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Financing Commitments, including using reasonable best efforts to (i) maintain in effect the Financing Commitments, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing on terms and conditions (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in the Redacted Fee Letter) as specified in the Debt Financing Letter (any such agreements, the “Definitive Debt Agreements”), (iii) satisfy on a timely basis (or obtain the waiver of) all conditions that are applicable to Buyer or Merger Sub in the Debt Financing Letter or the Definitive Debt Agreements, as applicable, and comply with its obligations thereunder, and (iv) upon the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, consummate the Debt Financing at or prior to the Closing as set forth in Section 1.2. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, in the event that all conditions to the Debt Financing Letter (and if Definitive Debt Agreements have been entered into, to such respective Definitive Debt Agreements) have been satisfied, and all of the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing), Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to enforce its rights under the applicable Debt Financing Letter and Definitive Debt Agreements, as the case may be, including by suit or other appropriate proceeding. Buyer will have the right from time to time to amend, modify or replace the Financing Commitments; provided, that Buyer will not, without the prior written consent of the Companies, agree to, or permit, any amendment, modification or replacement of, or waiver under, the Financing Commitments or the definitive agreements relating to the Financing Commitments if such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver would (A) reduce the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing, (B) impose new or additional conditions or otherwise expand or amend any of the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding on the Closing Date of the Financing as set forth in the Financing Commitments, or (C) reasonably be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of the Financing or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or make the funding of the Financing less likely to occur or adversely impact the ability of the Buyer (or with respect to the Equity Financing, the Companies) to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Financing Commitments or the definitive documents with respect thereto, without the prior consent of the Companies; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may amend the Debt Financing Letter to add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities who had not executed the Debt
48
Financing Letter as of the date of this Agreement if the addition of such parties individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to delay or prevent the consummation of the Debt Financing or the Closing. Buyer will deliver to the Companies and the Representatives copies of any such amendment, modification, replacement or waiver promptly upon its execution thereof. If, notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts by Buyer to satisfy its obligations under this Section 5.15(a), any portion of the Debt Financing or Definitive Debt Documents is terminated or expires or otherwise becomes unavailable on the terms and conditions (including the “flex” provisions contained in the Redacted Fee Letter) specified in the Debt Financing Letter or the Definitive Debt Agreements, Buyer will promptly notify the Companies and the Representatives and will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain alternative financing from the same and/or alternative sources on terms and conditions not less favorable, taken as a whole, to Buyer (as determined in the reasonable judgment of Buyer), than those contained in the Debt Financing Letter (“Alternative Financing”), upon terms and conditions which would not have any of the effects specified in clauses (A), (B), and (C) of this Section 5.15(a) as promptly as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of such event. Buyer will keep Companies informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing and to satisfy the conditions thereof, including (1) giving Companies and the Representatives prompt written notice of any material adverse change with respect to the Debt Financing, including if at any time the Debt Financing Letter expires or is terminated for any reason or if any financing source party to the Debt Financing Letter notifies Buyer that such source no longer intends to provide financing to Buyer on the terms set forth therein, and (2) upon Companies reasonable request, advising and updating the Companies, in a reasonable level of detail, with respect to status and proposed funding date. For purposes of this Agreement, references to “Financing” and “Debt Financing” and “Definitive Debt Documents” will include the financing contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment as permitted by this Section 5.15(a) to be amended, modified or replaced and references to “Debt Financing Letter” will include such documents as permitted by this Section 5.15(a) to be amended, modified or replaced, in each case from and after such amendment, modification, or replacement.
(b) The Companies will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, provide all cooperation reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Companies and their Subsidiaries and provided that such requested cooperation is of the type customarily provided in connection with similar financings), by (i) participating at reasonable times in a reasonable number of meetings, presentations, road shows, drafting sessions and due diligence sessions (including sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies), (ii) assisting with the preparation of materials for rating agency presentations, bank information memoranda, offering documents, private placement memoranda and other similar documents including road show or investor meeting slides in connection with the Debt Financing (including requesting customary consents of accountants for use of their reports in any materials relating to the Debt Financing and the delivery of one or more customary representation letters and/or customary authorization letters), (iii) reasonably cooperating with the pledging of collateral in connection with the Debt Financing as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, (iv) taking actions reasonably necessary to permit the Financing Sources to evaluate the Companies’ inventory, current assets, cash management and accounting systems, policies and procedures relating thereto for the purpose of establishing
49
collateral arrangements required to be established as of the Closing under the Debt Financing Commitment, (v) reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Buyer and the Lenders for any portion of the Debt Financing, (vi) providing a certificate of the chief financial officer of each Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to solvency matters as of the Closing on a pro forma basis in the form attached to the Debt Financing Commitment, (vii) if requested by a financing source at least three days prior to Closing, providing information related to each Company which such financing source has reasonably requested and that such financing source has determined is required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti money laundering rules and regulations, including the USA Patriot Act, (viii) using reasonable best efforts to obtain customary accountants’ comfort letters and customary local counsel legal opinions to the extent required from the Financing Sources, including furnishing, prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period, drafts of such comfort letters (which will provide “negative assurance” comfort) which such accountants are prepared to issue upon completion of customary procedures, (viii) facilitating the execution and delivery (at the Closing) of definitive documents related to the Debt Financing on terms specified by the Debt Financing Letter to the extent required to be delivered as of Closing, (ix) obtaining customary payoff letters (including release of Liens) relating to the payoff of all existing indebtedness to be terminated on or prior to the Closing, and (x) using reasonable best efforts to furnish to Buyer and the Financing Sources as promptly as reasonably practicable, but in the event such information is required to be delivered by the Debt Financing Letter, no later than the time called for by the Debt Financing Letter, all financial, business and other information regarding the Companies as may be reasonably requested by Buyer or its Financing Sources, to be contained in a customary offering memorandum containing all customary information (other than a “description of notes” and information customarily provided by the initial purchasers and their counsel), including annual audited and interim unaudited financial statements (including interim unaudited financial statements as of, and for the nine-month period ending, September 30, 2012) (each Company’s accountants will perform a SAS 100 review on any such interim unaudited financial information), pro forma financial statements, management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, business and other financial and other data of the type and form that are customarily included in offering memoranda for private placements of high-yield debt securities pursuant to Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, including information required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act (which is understood not to include consolidating and other financial statements and data that would be required by Sections 3-10 and 3-16 of Regulation S-X, Item 402 of Regulation S-K and information regarding executive compensation) (information required to be delivered pursuant to this clause (x) being referred to as the “Required Information”); and provided that, the foregoing notwithstanding in this clause (b), (A) no obligation of the Companies under any such agreement, certificate, document or instrument will be effective until the Closing, (B) the pre-Closing directors of the Companies will not be required to adopt resolutions approving the agreements, documents and instruments pursuant to which the Debt Financing is obtained, (C) the Companies will not be required to execute prior to the Closing any Definitive Debt Agreements or other documents in connection with the Debt Financing (except for documents that would only become effective at and as of the Closing), (D) except as expressly provided above, the Companies will not be required to take any corporate actions prior to the Closing to permit the consummation of the Debt Financing, and (E) the Companies will not be required to pay any commitment fee or other fee or incur any monetary
50
liability or expenses or give any indemnity with respect to the Financing that is not contingent on Closing. If the Closing does not occur, Buyer will reimburse such Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs actually incurred by such Company in connection with such cooperation (and any such amounts will not be included will not be included as a liability in any calculation of Net Worth pursuant to Section 2.4(e)). Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Companies and their Subsidiaries from and against any and all losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses actually suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and any information used in connection therewith. All non-public or other confidential information provided by or on behalf of any Company and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Section 5.15(b) will be kept confidential in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement, except that Buyer will be permitted to disclose such information to potential sources of capital and to rating agencies and prospective lenders and investors during syndication of the Financing, subject to the potential sources of capital, prospective lenders and investors being informed by Buyer of the obligations of confidentiality relating to Representatives (as defined in the Confidentiality Agreement) of Buyer under the Confidentiality Agreement and agreeing to maintain the confidentiality thereof. The Companies hereby consent to the reasonable use of the Companies’ respective logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided, that such logos are used in a manner that is not intended to harm or disparage the Companies or their marks.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement and the Transactions are not contingent on Buyer’s ability to obtain Financing (including any alternate financing contemplated by Section 5.15(a)) or any specific amount or terms with respect to such Financing.
5.16 Payoff Letters. Without limiting the obligations of the Companies pursuant to Section 5.15(b), not less than two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Companies will deliver to Buyer draft payoff letters to Buyer with respect to the Existing Credit Facilities that is to be repaid at the Closing, which letters (A) correctly state the amount, including any applicable premiums or fees and expenses necessary to repay such Existing Credit Facilities and completely discharge the obligations of the applicable Company and/or its Subsidiaries with respect thereto and (B) acknowledge that, subject to the repayment of the aggregate principal amount outstanding, together with all interest accrued thereon and any other fees or expenses payable thereunder, (x) such debt instrument, credit facility or other instrument has been terminated, (y) any and all Liens relating to such debt instrument, credit facility or other instrument have been released, and (z) the applicable Companies and their respective Subsidiaries have been released from any and all liabilities and obligations with regards to such debt instrument, credit facility or other instrument (other than any obligation under any indemnification or similar provision that by its terms survives such termination), which payoff letters will be executed and delivered to Buyer at Closing upon repayment of the Existing Credit Facilities.

As promptly as practicable after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and without limiting the rights of Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(e) hereof, each of the Companies will deliver to the Buyer executed written consents in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto, which written consents will, at the time of such delivery, be executed by a sufficient number of the stockholders of each of the Companies to cause the adoption of this Agreement in accordance with the DGCL and the applicable Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws (the “Stockholder Approvals”).
51

(f) by the Companies if (i) the Marketing Period has ended and the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 (provided such conditions are capable of being satisfied as of the date of the Companies’ notice terminating the Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(f)) have been satisfied, (ii) the Companies have irrevocably confirmed by written notice to Buyer after the end of the Marketing Period that all conditions set forth in Section 6.3 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied by actions taken at the Closing) or that it is willing to waive any unsatisfied conditions set forth in Section 6.3, (iii) the Mergers shall not have been consummated on the date on which the Closing would otherwise have been required to occur in accordance with Section 1.2, and (iv) the Mergers shall not have been consummated within one Business Day following the delivery of such notice, during which period following delivery of such notice the Companies stood ready, willing and able to consummate the Closing.
7.2 Effect of Termination. (a) In the event of the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1, this Agreement will forthwith become void and have no effect, and no party hereto, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of the officers or directors of any of the foregoing, will have any liability of any nature whatsoever under this Agreement, or in connection with the Transactions, except that the Confidentiality Agreement and the Limited Guarantee will survive any termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms, and this Section 7.2, Section 7.3 and Article XI will each survive any termination of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing will relieve any of the Companies from liability for any knowing breach of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any deliberate breach of any covenant of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) a “knowing” breach of a representation and warranty will be deemed to have occurred only if an executive officer of the party alleged to have breached had actual knowledge of such breach as of the date of this Agreement (without any independent duty of investigation or verification other than an actual reading of the representations and warranties as they appear in this Agreement by such party’s chief executive officer and chief operating officer) and (ii) a “deliberate” breach of any covenant will be deemed to have occurred only if an executive officer of the party alleged to have breached took or failed to take action with actual knowledge that there was a substantial likelihood that the action so taken or omitted to be taken constituted a breach of such covenant or reasonably should have known that an action or failure to take action resulted in a substantial likelihood of such breach. For purposes of this Section 7.2(b), an “executive officer” will have the meaning given to the term “officer” in Rule 16a-1(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer or any Merger Sub breaches this Agreement (whether knowingly, deliberately, willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise) or fails to perform hereunder (whether willfully, intentionally, unintentionally or otherwise), then, except for specific performance as and only to the extent
55
expressly permitted by Section 11.12(b), the sole and exclusive remedies (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) against Buyer, the Merger Subs, the Guarantor, the other Non-Recourse Parties (as defined in the Limited Guarantee) or the Financing Sources for any breach, loss or damage or failure to perform will be (x) for the Companies to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(f) and the Companies to receive payment of the Buyer Termination Fee or (y) for the Companies to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.1(d) and seek to recover monetary damages from Buyer, which damages may include damages of any kind, including consequential damages and any other damages (whether or not communicated or contemplated at the time of execution of this Agreement) and including as damages the value lost by the Company Interest Holders and other Persons entitled to receive payments hereunder based on the consideration that would otherwise have been paid and the benefits that would have accrued; provided, however, that in no event will Buyer be subject to monetary damages in excess of the amount of the Buyer Termination Fee in the aggregate. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Non-Recourse Parties (except to the extent expressly set forth in the Limited Guarantee) or the Financing Sources will have any liability to any Person, including the Representatives, the holders of equity of the Companies or any of their respective Affiliates relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Financing or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or equity in contract, in tort or strict liability, by the enforcement of any assessment, by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any Law or otherwise.
7.3 Fees and Expenses. (a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1(f), then Buyer will promptly, but in no event later than one Business Day after the date of such termination, pay to the Companies, or cause to be paid to the Companies, an amount equal to $80.4 million in cash (the “Buyer Termination Fee”), allocated among the Companies in the manner set forth on Schedule 7.3 hereto; provided, further, that any purported termination of this Agreement by Buyer under Section 7.1(b) will be deemed to be a termination by the Companies under Section 7.1(f) if the Companies were entitled to terminate this Agreement under Section 7.1(f) at the time of such termination.
(b) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that the covenants contained in this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that without these covenants, the parties hereto would not have entered into this Agreement, and that any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.3 do not constitute a penalty, but are liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Companies in the circumstances in which such fee is payable for the efforts and resources expended by the Companies and their stockholders (including the Representatives on their behalf) and the opportunities foregone by the Companies while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the Closing, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.
(c) Any amount that becomes payable pursuant to this Section 7.3 will be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Companies.

All other covenants contained in this Agreement will not survive the Closing. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in no event will any Buyer Indemnitee be entitled to make any claim for indemnification in respect of the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of any Company under this Section 8.1 after the Survival Date; provided that nothing herein will limit specific performance remedies with respect to the Post-Closing Covenants.
60
8.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]
8.3 Indemnification Procedures. (a) Notice and Opportunity to Defend Claims. If an event occurs that a Person entitled to indemnification with respect thereto under this Agreement (the “Indemnified Party”) asserts is an indemnifiable event pursuant to Section 8.1, the Indemnified Party seeking indemnification will notify the applicable Representative (in such case, the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly, but no later than 30 days, after such Indemnified Party receives written notice, in the case of a third-party claim, or otherwise becomes aware, in the case of a direct claim, of any such claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought; provided, however, that (i) the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this Section 8.3(a) will not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under Section 8.1, except to the extent that such failure materially prejudices the rights of any such Indemnifying Party and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable Representative is referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party” solely for purposes of receiving notice and controlling the defense and settlement of claims hereunder, and in no circumstances will a Representative or any member thereof have any obligation to indemnify any Person hereunder in such Representative’s capacity as a Representative. Any notice of a claim, event or matter as to which indemnity may be sought will include a reasonably detailed description of such claim, event or matter, the basis of the claim for indemnification, copies of material documentation reasonably accessible to or in the possession of the Indemnified Party that the Indemnified Party believes supports such claim for indemnification and a good faith estimate, to the extent practicable, of the amount of Losses incurred or which reasonably could be expected to be incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such claim.
(b) Third-Party Claims. In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party will give written notice to the Indemnifying Party (or, with respect to a claim for which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 8.1, the applicable Representative) of the third-party claim in accordance with Section 8.3(a), and the Indemnified Party will permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume (upon acknowledging that the applicable Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification with respect to such claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article VIII) the defense of any third-party claim or any litigation with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (i) counsel for the Indemnifying Party who conducts the defense of such claim or litigation will be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (ii) the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense. Except with the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other non-monetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party and its Affiliates of a general release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation, or, in the case of any claim for Taxes, that results in an increase in Taxes or taxable income of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates for a taxable period or portion thereof
61
beginning after the Closing Date. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any matter as above provided, the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend such matter and to settle such matter; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will reasonably cooperate in the defense of any third-party claim or litigation subject to this Article VIII and will each provide the other reasonable access to its records in order to facilitate the defense and settlement of such matter.
8.4 Exclusive Remedy; Indemnification Escrow. Following the Closing, the indemnification provided for in this Article VIII will be the sole and exclusive remedy available to any Buyer Indemnitee against another party for any claims under or based upon this Agreement or the Transactions except for actual fraud. Neither Buyer nor any other Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to recovery for indemnification claims under this Article VIII directly from any Company Interest Holders or any of their Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event will Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnitee be entitled to offset any amounts owed to it pursuant to this Article VIII against any amounts owed by Buyer, any Buyer Indemnitee, any Surviving Corporation or any of their respective Affiliates to any employee or former employee of any Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any Contract.
8.5 Additional Limitations and Qualifications on Indemnification; Subrogation. (a) No Indemnified Party will be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII for (i) any punitive damages or (ii) any lost profits or consequential, special or indirect damages, except, in the case of (ii), to the extent such lost profits or damages are (x) not based on any special circumstances of the Indemnified Party and (y) the natural, probably and reasonably foreseeable result of the even that gave rise thereto or the matter for which indemnification is sought hereunder; provided, however, that if an Indemnified Person is held liable to a third party based on any final Governmental Order for any such damages and the applicable Indemnifying Party is obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Person for the matter that gave rise to such damages, then such Indemnifying Party will be liable for, and obligated to reimburse such Indemnified Party for, such damages.
(b) Each of the Buyer Indemnitees will use its reasonable best efforts to mitigate all Losses for which such Indemnified Parties are entitled or may be entitled to indemnification hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Buyer Indemnitee will be indemnified for any Loss to the extent (i) that specific reserves therefor exist on the applicable Financial Statements as of the date hereof (and without giving effect to any subsequent restatement thereof), (ii) that such Loss was reflected in the calculation of the applicable Final Net Worth Amount.
(d) For purposes of determining the amount and extent of any Losses in respect of any breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement, any express qualifications or limitations set forth in such representation, warranty or covenant as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or other words of similar import contained therein will be disregarded. For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of determining whether a
62
representation or warranty is breached or inaccurate, any express qualifications or limitations set forth in such representation, warranty or covenant as to materiality, “Material Adverse Effect” or other words of similar import contained therein will not be disregarded.
(e) Any indemnifiable Loss hereunder will be calculated net of any insurance recoveries or recoveries from third parties pursuant to indemnification or otherwise, in each case actually received by the Indemnified Party, net of any costs of recovering such amount. If the Indemnifying Party makes any payment on any claim pursuant to Section 8.1, the Indemnifying Party will be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party to any insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim. The parties hereto will execute, upon request, all instruments reasonably necessary to evidence and perfect the above described subrogation rights.
(f) Any indemnifiable Loss hereunder will be calculated net of any Tax savings realized by the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates in the form of a cash refund or reduction in cash Taxes payable in the year in which the indemnity payment is to be made or in a prior year and arising in connection with the accrual, incurrence of payment of any such Loss.
8.6 Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any payment made pursuant to this Article VIII will be treated as an adjustment to the APX Merger Consideration, the Solar Merger Consideration or the 2GIG Merger Consideration, as the case may be, for all Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.
8.7 Release of Escrow Amount. (a) APX Escrow Amount. Subject to Section 8.7(d), on the first Business Day following the Survival Date, Buyer and the Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute from the APX Escrow Amount to the APX Post-Closing Payees (which for this purpose may include the APX Employee Escrow Fund), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the APX Representative, the aggregate amount by which the APX Escrow Amount exceeds the sum of the aggregate amount of indemnification claims made under this Article VIII and then pending (“APX Pending Claims”), in each case in accordance with the instructions set forth in a Subsequent Payments Schedule provided by the APX Representative; provided, however, that the portion of any such payments payable to APX Post-Closing Payees in respect of APX Stock Options or APX Employee Payments will be paid to the APX Surviving Corporation, and Buyer will cause the APX Surviving Corporation to pay the applicable amount to each such APX Post-Closing Payee in accordance with Section 2.5. With respect to any APX Pending Claims, as soon as reasonably practicable following resolution of any such APX Pending Claims, the amount, if any, of such APX Pending Claims which has not been paid to a Buyer Indemnitee in connection with such resolution will be distributed from the APX Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the same manner as described in the immediately preceding sentence.
(b) Solar Escrow Amount. Subject to Section 8.7(d), on the first Business Day following the Survival Date, Buyer and the Solar Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute from the Solar Escrow Amount to the Solar Post-Closing Payees, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the Solar Representative, the aggregate amount by which the Solar Escrow Amount exceeds the sum of the aggregate amount
63
of indemnification claims made under this Article VIII and then pending (“Solar Pending Claims”), in each case in accordance with the instructions set forth in a Subsequent Payments Schedule provided by the Solar Representative; provided, however, that the portion of any such payments payable to Solar Post-Closing Payees in respect of Solar Sub Stock Options will be paid to the Solar Surviving Corporation, and Buyer will cause the Solar Surviving Corporation to pay the applicable amount to each such Solar Post-Closing Payee in accordance with Section 2.5. With respect to any Solar Pending Claims, as soon as reasonably practicable following resolution of any such Solar Pending Claims, the amount, if any, of such Solar Pending Claims which has not been paid to a Buyer Indemnitee in connection with such resolution will be distributed from the Solar Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the same manner as described in the immediately preceding sentence.
(c) 2GIG Escrow Amount. Subject to Section 8.7(d), on the first Business Day following the Survival Date, Buyer and the Representative will jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to distribute from the 2GIG Escrow Amount to the 2GIG Post-Closing Payees (which for this purpose may include the APX Employee Escrow Fund), by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by the 2GIG Representative, the aggregate amount by which the 2GIG Escrow Amount exceeds the sum of the aggregate amount of indemnification claims made under this Article VIII and then pending (“2GIG Pending Claims”), in each case in accordance with the instructions set forth in a subsequent Payments Schedule provided by the 2GIG Representative; provided, however, that the portion of any such payments payable to 2GIG Post-Closing Payees in respect of 2GIG Stock Options or APX Employee Payments will be paid to the 2GIG Surviving Corporation or the APX Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and Buyer will cause the 2GIG Surviving Corporation and the APX Surviving Corporation, as applicable, to pay the applicable amount to each such 2GIG Post-Closing Payee in accordance with Section 2.5. With respect to any 2GIG Pending Claims, as soon as reasonably practicable following resolution of any such 2GIG Pending Claims, the amount, if any, of such 2GIG Pending Claims which has not been paid to a Buyer Indemnitee in connection with such resolution will be distributed from the 2GIG Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the same manner as described in the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8.7 to the contrary, to the extent the aggregate amount of APX Pending Claims, Solar Pending Claims or 2GIG Pending Claims exceed the amount of the applicable Company’s Indemnity Escrow Funds, then the Representatives will direct the Escrow Agent to retain funds from the excess Escrow Funds equal to such shortfall, which amounts will be retained solely from the released Escrow Funds that would otherwise be allocated and payable to Cross Ownership Holders pursuant to this Section 8.7; provided, however, that in the event the Representatives cannot agree on such allocation, such determination will be made by counsel appointed by the Representatives (with the determination of such counsel to be conclusive).
IX. REPRESENTATIVES
9.1 Designation and Replacement of Members of Representatives. The parties hereto have agreed that it is desirable to designate a representative committee to act on behalf of APX’s
64
Company Interest Holders (such committee, the “APX Representative”), Solar’s Company Interest Holders (such committee, the “Solar Representative”) and 2GIG’s Company Interest Holders (such committee, the “2GIG Representative”), in each case for certain limited purposes, as specified herein. Each Representative will act by majority consent and will consist of the individuals set forth on Schedule 9.1 or their successors appointed by the Companies with written notice to Buyer prior to the Closing, and Buyer acknowledges that certain employees of a Surviving Corporation may serve on such committee and nothing herein or otherwise will be deemed to preclude any former Company Interest Holders from communicating in respect of any matter, including any claim pursuant to Article VIII. The adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of each of the Companies will constitute ratification and approval of the designation of (a) the members of each Representative and (b) the applicable Representative to act on behalf of the applicable Company Interest Holders of the Company that it represents (it being understood that no Representative will have the right or obligation to act on behalf of any Company Interest Holders of any other Company). Each Representative may designate one or more individual members thereof to act on its behalf for purposes of communicating with Buyer in connection with this Agreement, and Buyer will be permitted to rely on such designees’ authority in such communications.
9.2 Authority and Rights of the Representatives; Limitations on Liability. The Representatives will have such powers and authority as are necessary to carry out the functions assigned to them under this Agreement; provided, however, that the Representatives will have no obligation to act on behalf of a Company Interest Holder, except as expressly provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Representative will have full power, authority and discretion to:
(a) (i) dispute or refrain from disputing, on behalf of its applicable Company Indemnitors, any claim made by any Buyer Indemnitee under this Agreement and comply with Governmental Orders with respect to, any dispute or Loss and (ii) negotiate, compromise and settle on behalf of its applicable Company Indemnitors, any dispute that may arise under, and to exercise or refrain from exercising any remedies available under, this Agreement;

11.3 Assignment. No party hereto may assign this Agreement or any part hereof without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that any consent by Buyer will not require the additional consent of the Merger Subs; provided, that (a) any of Buyer and any of the Merger Subs may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, or any of their respective rights or delegate any of their respective duties under this Agreement to one or more Affiliates of Buyer; provided, further, that no such assignment will relieve Buyer or Merger Subs of their obligations hereunder; and (b) any of Buyer and any of the Merger Subs may assign their respective rights, but not their respective obligations, under this Agreement to any of the Financing Sources (in no event will such Financing Sources be required or deemed to assume any obligations of the parties hereunder).

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

86
11.6 Governing Law. This Agreement will be construed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, applicable to agreements executed and performed entirely within such state, without regard to the conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of any Law other than the Law of the State of Delaware.
11.7 Captions; Counterparts. The captions in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be considered a part of or affect the construction or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
11.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Schedules and Exhibits to this Agreement) and the letter agreement between Buyer and the Companies (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the Transactions and supersede any other agreements, whether written or oral, that may have been made or entered into by or among any of the parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries relating to the Transactions. The parties negotiated this Agreement with the assistance of professional advisors and intend that the Agreement encompass the entire relationship among them. As such, the parties hereby confirm that there are no, and hereby expressly waive and disclaim, extra-contractual rights or obligations among them, including arising under theories of implied duties of good faith or fair dealing, actual or constructive fraud or other theories.
11.9 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended or modified in whole or in part, only by a duly authorized agreement in writing executed by Buyer and the Companies in the same manner as this Agreement and which makes reference to this Agreement. The approval of this Agreement by the requisite stockholders of a Company will not restrict the ability of the Board of Directors of such Company to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 7.1 or to cause such Company to enter into an amendment to this Agreement pursuant to this Section 11.9 to the extent permitted under the DGCL.

11.11 Jurisdiction; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all Actions arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be heard and determined in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware). The parties hereby (a) submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, only if the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court within the State of Delaware) for the purpose of any Action (other than as otherwise expressly set forth herein)
87
arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any party and (b) irrevocably waive, and agree not to assert by way of motion, defense or otherwise, in any such Action, any claim that they are not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that the property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that any such Action is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of such Action is improper or that this Agreement or the Transactions may not be enforced in or by any of the above-named courts. Each of the parties agrees that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 11.2 or such other manner as may be permitted by Law will be valid and sufficient service of process. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment in Action so brought will be conclusive and may be enforced by suit on the judgment in any jurisdiction within or outside the United States or in any other manner provided in Law or in equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereto agrees that it will not bring or support any Action, cause of action, claim, cross-claim or third-party claim of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, against the Financing Sources in any way relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing Letter or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).
(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY; INCLUDING ANY DISPUTE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE DEBT FINANCING LETTER OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.11(b).
11.12 Enforcement. (a) The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the provisions contained in this Agreement were not performed (including failing to take such actions as are required hereunder to consummate this Agreement) in accordance with their specified terms or were otherwise breached. It is therefore acknowledged and agreed that the parties will be entitled to specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement and the Equity Financing Commitment (solely to the extent expressly provided for therein) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Equity Financing
88
Commitment (solely to the extent expressly provided for therein) in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 7.2(b) and Section 11.12(b). The parties agree that they will not oppose the granting of specific performance on the basis that other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. In the event a party seeks specific performance to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the Equity Financing Commitment (solely to the extent expressly provided for therein) and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement or the Equity Financing Commitment (solely to the extent expressly provided for therein), such party, as applicable, will not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such Governmental Order. Except as otherwise provided herein, any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, including Section 11.12(a), it is explicitly agreed that the Companies and the Representatives will not be entitled to seek specific performance of Buyer’s and Merger Subs’ obligations to consummate the Mergers or to cause the Equity Financing to be funded, unless each of the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Marketing Period has ended and all of the conditions set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 have been satisfied (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing) at the time that the Closing would have been required to occur in accordance with Section 1.2, (ii) the Debt Financing has been funded in accordance with the terms thereof or is available to be funded at the Closing in accordance with the terms thereof but for the failure of the Equity Financing to be funded at the Closing, (iii) Buyer and Merger Subs fail to complete the Closing in accordance with Section 1.2, and (iv) the Companies have irrevocably confirmed to Buyer in writing that if specific performance is granted and the Equity Financing and Debt Financing are funded, then the Closing will occur pursuant to Article I. For the avoidance of doubt, but without limiting Section 5.15(b), in no event will any of the Companies or any of the Representatives, in each case individually or collectively, be entitled to enforce or seek to enforce in any manner Buyer’s right or obligation to cause the Equity Financing to be funded or to consummate the Mergers if the Debt Financing has not been funded (or will not be funded at the Closing if the Equity Financing is funded at the Closing).
(c) Except to the extent otherwise set forth in the Limited Guarantee or the Equity Financing Commitment, this Agreement may only be enforced against, and any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement may only be brought against, the persons who are expressly named as parties hereto and then only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such person. Except to the extent a named party to this Agreement, the Limited Guarantee or the Equity Financing Commitment (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations undertaken by such named party in this Agreement, the Limited Guarantee or the Equity Commitment and not otherwise), none of the Financing Sources (or any of their respective former, current or future stockholders, partners, members, controlling parties, Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives), and no past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of any party hereto will have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of any party hereto under this Agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the transactions contemplated hereby, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Debt Financing Letter or the performance thereof.
89
