Closing
and that neither party will be required to have a representative physically

D. Purchase Price. The

Earn-Out Fees and Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fees as described in
subsections 1, 2 and 3 below.
1. Thirteen
Million Dollars ($13,000,000) to be paid at Closing (the “Initial
Payment”).
2. Buyer
shall pay Seller a purchase price earn-out fee (“Earn-Out Fee”) for each of the
New Income Equity Fund and the New Long/Short Fund (calculated as set forth in
(a) through (c) below) monthly for each month (or portion thereof) beginning
with the month in which the Closing occurs and ending with the month during
which falls the tenth anniversary of the Closing (the “Earn-Out Fee
Term”). Each Earn-Out Fee payment shall equal the sum of the
Daily Earn-Out Fees for each Fund for each month (or portion thereof), and shall
be paid within ten days following the end of the calendar month, with the first
Earn-Out Fee payment due within ten days following the end of the calendar month
in which the Closing occurs. Exhibit B
attached hereto sets forth an example of the calculation of the Earn-Out Fees
using actual data for the time period set forth thereon. Each
Earn-Out Fee shall be calculated in accordance with the terms hereof, including
as set forth on Exhibit B. With
each monthly Earn-Out Fee payment, Buyer shall provide Seller with a spreadsheet
in the form of Exhibit B hereto
showing its calculation of the amount due and then being paid and such
spreadsheet shall be certified as true, accurate and correct by the Buyer’s
chief financial officer.
(a). For each
day in the period (the month or partial month), the Daily Earn-Out Fee for the
New Income Equity Fund shall be an amount equal to (i) 0.0015/365,
multiplied by (ii) an amount (“IE Net New Assets”) equal to
the excess, if any, of (A) the total ending assets in the New Income Equity
Fund as of the close of business (the “IE Aggregate Market Value”),
over (B) (i) Six Hundred and Twenty-Seven Million Eight Hundred
Sixty-Three Thousand Five Hundred Ninety-Six Dollars and Thirty-Two Cents
($627,863,596.32) multiplied by (ii) one plus the fund’s Cumulative Fund
Return from June 15, 2008 through the day of the calculation (the “IE Adjusted Base
Assets”). The Daily Earn-Out Fee for each day that is not a
business day shall equal the Daily Earn-Out Fee, if any, for the preceding
business day.
3
(b). For each
day in the period (the month or partial month), the Daily Earn-Out Fee for the
New Long/Short Fund shall be an amount equal to (i) 0.0015/365, multiplied
by (ii) an amount (“LS Net
New Assets”) equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the total ending
assets in the New Long/Short Fund as of the close of business (the “LS Aggregate Market Value”),
over (B) (i) Ninety-Nine Million Nine Hundred Thirty-Three Thousand
Nine Hundred Ninety-Four Dollars and Forty-Four Cents ($99,933,994.44)
multiplied by (ii) one plus the fund’s Cumulative Fund Return from
June 15, 2008 through the day of the calculation (the “LS Adjusted Base
Assets”). The Daily Earn-Out Fee for each day that is not a
business day shall equal the Daily Earn-Out Fee, if any, for the preceding
business day.
(c). Definitions
and special rules:
(i) “Base NAV” means, for the New
Income Equity Fund, $14.920 per share, and for the New Long/Short Fund, $11.770
per share.
(ii) “Cumulative Fund Return” means,
for each of the New Income Equity Fund and New Long/Short Fund, the quotient
obtained by dividing (A) the sum of (i) the Daily NAV Changes
(positive or negative) for such fund (or its predecessor) for each day beginning
on [June 16, 2008] and continuing through the
computation date, plus (ii) the cumulative per-share distributions
expressed as a positive number (whether dividend, capital gains, or otherwise)
made by such fund (or its predecessor) for all periods beginning on [June 16, 2008] and continuing through the
computation date, by (B) the Base NAV with respect to such
fund.
(iii) “Daily NAV Change” means, for
each of the New Income Equity Fund and New Long/Short Fund, the per-share net
asset value (NAV) as of the close of business on such day, minus the per-share
NAV of such fund (or its predecessor) as of the close of business the prior
business day, in each case computed in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principals consistent with past practice of each such
fund.
(iv) In the
event of a split, combination, subdivision or other similar adjustment to the
number of shares in the New Income Equity Fund or the New Long/Short Fund, the
calculations of the amounts due shall be appropriately adjusted.
(d). Each
Earn-Out Fee payment under this Section I.D.2. will be subject to a
discount of ten percent (10%) (the “Earn-Out Fee Discount”) so
long as each of the following conditions remain true and correct (the “Discount
Conditions”):
(i) Xxxxx and
Xxxxxxxx are employed by Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer and Xxxxx is acting as
portfolio manager to the New Income Equity Fund and Xxxxxxxx is acting as
portfolio manager to the New Long/Short Fund;
(ii) Buyer is
not in breach of any of the terms of the Research and Consulting Agreement
(including such provisions contained in such agreement with respect to Xxxxx and
Xxxxxxxx performing the consulting services called for in such
agreement in accordance with the terms thereof); and
(iii) Buyer is
not in breach of any of the terms hereof, including, without limitation,
Article VII hereof and Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx are not in violation of the
restrictive covenants referenced in Section VII.B. hereof (assuming for the
purposes hereof that Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx were in direct privity with Seller with
respect to such restrictive covenants).
Upon any
of the Discount Conditions becoming unsatisfied for any reason, the Earn-Out Fee
Discount shall no longer be applicable to any Earn-Out Fee payment.
4
3. In
addition to the Earn-Out Fees set forth above, Buyer shall pay Seller an
additional fee (“Aggregate IE
Value Earn-Out Fee”) which shall accrue daily beginning the day after the
Closing Date and continuing through the five (5) year anniversary of the Closing
Date, in a daily amount equal to (i) the Incremental IE Management Fee
divided by 365, multiplied by (ii) the IE Aggregate Market Value as of the
close of business on each such day. The “Incremental IE Management
Fee” means 90% of the amount by which the gross investment management fee
payable by the New Income Equity Fund exceeds eighty (80) basis points of assets
annually; provided that the Incremental IE Management Fee shall not exceed nine
(9) basis points. The Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee will be paid
monthly for five years following Closing. Each Aggregate IE Value
Earn-Out Fee that is due will be paid within ten days of the end of the calendar
month, with the first Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee payment due within ten
days of the end of the calendar month in which Closing occurs. Exhibit B
attached hereto sets forth an example of the calculations of the Aggregate IE
Value Earn-Out Fee using actual data for the time period set forth
thereon. Each Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee shall be calculated in
accordance with the terms hereof, including as set forth on Exhibit B. With
each monthly Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee payment, Buyer shall provide Seller
with a spreadsheet in the form of Exhibit B hereto
showing its calculation of the amount then due and being paid and such
spreadsheet shall be certified as true, accurate and correct by the chief
financial officer of Buyer.
4. With
respect to the determination of the Earn-Out Fee or the Aggregate IE Value
Earn-Out Fee, Buyer and Seller hereby agree that:
(a). Buyer
shall deliver or make available to Seller and/or its representatives promptly
and, in any event, within two (2) business days after any written request, any
and all work papers or other information of Buyer or any third party (including
each transfer agent) related to monthly spreadsheet and the determination,
preparation or calculation of the Earn-Out Fee and the Aggregate IE Value
Earn-Out Fee, including, without limitation, the number of units outstanding and
the aggregate value of each New Fund on a daily basis. If Seller does not
object, or otherwise fails to respond, to the determination of the Earn-Out Fee
or the Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee as set forth by Buyer within thirty (30)
days after delivery of such monthly spreadsheet to Seller (such period of time
to be reasonably extended in the event that Buyer fails to promptly provide such
work papers or other information in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence), then such determination of the Earn-Out Fee or the Aggregate IE Value
Earn-Out Fee, as the case may be, specified therein shall automatically become
final and conclusive. In the event that Seller objects to the
determination of the Earn-Out Fee or the Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee as set
forth by Buyer within such thirty (30) day period (as may be extended pursuant
to the immediately preceding sentence), Seller and Buyer shall promptly meet and
endeavor to reach agreement as to the determination of the Earn-Out Fee or the
Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee, as the case may be. If Seller and
Buyer agree on the determination of the Earn-Out Fee or the Aggregate IE Value
Earn-Out Fee, as the case may be (as revised pursuant to any agreement between
Buyer and Seller), then the specified determination therein shall become final
and conclusive. If Seller and Buyer are unable to reach agreement
within twenty-one (21) days after the delivery of such objection to the
determination of the Earn-Out Fee or the Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee, as the
case may be, then Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP (the
5
“Independent Accountants”)
shall promptly be retained to undertake a determination of the Earn-Out Fee or
the Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee, as the case may be. Only
disputed item(s) shall be submitted to the Independent Accountants for
review. In resolving any disputed item, the Independent Accountants
may not assign a value to such item greater than the greatest value for such
item claimed by either party or less than the lowest value for such item claimed
by either party, in each case as presented to the Independent
Accountants. The determination of the Independent Accountants as to
any item in dispute shall be based solely on presentations by Seller and Buyer
(i.e., not on
independent review), and on the definitions set forth and other provisions
contained in this Agreement. Such determination of the Independent
Accountants shall be final and binding on Seller and Buyer.
(b). Within
five (5) business days of the final determination of the Earn-Out Fee or
Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee, pursuant to this Section 4, Buyer or
Seller, as the case may be, shall pay or cause to be paid to the other an amount
equal to (i) the amount by which the final Earn-Out Fee or Aggregate IE
Value Earn-Out Fee is greater or less than the original Earn-Out Fee or
Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee set forth and paid by Buyer to Seller, and
(ii) interest on such amount at a rate equal to the lower of (x) ten
percent (10%) per annum or (y) the highest rate permitted by law thereon,
from the date of such original payment of the Earn-Out Fee or Aggregate IE Value
Earn-Out Fee to the date of payment of the final determined Earn-Out Fee or
Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee pursuant to this Section 4, as the case may
be (such difference and interest thereon being the “Fee Reconciliation
Amount”). If the Fee Reconciliation Amount results in the
payment of additional funds to Seller, Buyer shall promptly pay such Fee
Reconciliation Amount to Seller and pay all expenses and fees of the Independent
Accountants with respect to such final determination. If the Fee
Reconciliation Amount does not result in the payment of additional funds to
Seller, Seller shall promptly pay or cause to be paid all expenses and fees of
the Independent Accountants with respect to such final
determination. Final determination and payment of the Fee
Reconciliation Amount shall be made without regard to any claims or offsets that
either Seller or Buyer may have asserted against one another.
5. Any
Earn-Out Fee or Aggregate IE Value Earn-Out Fee payment which is not paid when
due shall accrue interest at a rate equal to the lower of (x) ten percent
(10%) per annum or (y) the highest rate permitted by law, from the due date
of such payment until the date such payment (including all accrued interest) is
paid in full.
E. Income
Fund. Wasatch will promptly recommend to the Wasatch Funds
Board of Directors (the “Wasatch Board”) that Seller
become the investment subadvisor to the New Income Fund and the Investment
Subadvisory Agreement with respect to such Income Fund shall be as set forth in
Exhibit C hereto (the “New
Investment Subadvisory Agreement”). The investment management
fee of the New Income Fund will continue at 0.55% of average daily net assets
annually, and 0.52% of average daily net assets will be paid to Seller pursuant
to the Income Fund New Investment Subadvisory Agreement. Subject to
its fiduciary duties, Buyer will use its reasonable best efforts to cause the
Wasatch Board to not terminate or fail to renew Seller as the subadvisor to the
New Income Fund on substantially the terms, and with respect to
6
the
subadvisory fees, on terms not less favorable than, as set forth in the New
Investment Subadvisory Agreement.
F. Making of
Payments. Buyer shall make all payments of the Purchase Price
in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account or accounts
designated by Seller.
G. Allocation of Purchase
Price. The Purchase Price shall be allocated among the
Business Assets as mutually agreed between Buyer and Seller prior to the Closing
Date. The parties agree that such allocation shall be used by them
and respected for all purposes, including income tax purposes, and that the
parties shall follow such allocation for all reporting purposes.
H. Closing
Deliveries. At the Closing, (i) the Seller will execute
and deliver the certificate referenced in Section IV.B.4.; (ii) the
Buyer will execute and deliver the certificate referenced in
Section IV.A.3; (iii) the Seller will execute and deliver to Buyer a

SECTION V.
INDEMNIFICATION
A. Indemnification by
Buyer. Buyer agrees, subject to subsections C and D below, to
indemnify and hold harmless Seller and the Seller Funds, and their respective
directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and managers
(“Seller Indemnitees”),
from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments,
damages, liabilities, costs and further expenses, including, without limitation,
interest, penalties and attorneys’ and professionals’ and experts’ fees and
expenses (collectively, “Seller
Losses”), asserted against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by any
Seller Indemnitee, directly or indirectly, by reason of or resulting
from:
1. a breach,
misrepresentation or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered
pursuant hereto;
2. any
misstatement or omission in the Wasatch Information referred to in
Section III.E; and
3. any
liabilities relating to or arising out of the operation of the Business by Buyer
from and after the Closing.
B. Indemnification by
Seller. Seller agrees, subject to subsections C, D and E
below, to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, Wasatch and the Wasatch Funds and
their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, affiliates
and managers (the “Buyer
Indemnitees”), from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of
action, assessments, damages, liabilities, costs and further expenses,
including, without limitation, interest, penalties and attorneys’ and
professionals’ and experts’ fees and expenses (collectively, “Buyer Losses”), asserted
against, resulting to, imposed upon or incurred by Buyer Indemnitee, directly or
indirectly, by reason of or resulting from:
13
1. a breach,
misrepresentation or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or
agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered
pursuant hereto;
2. any
misstatement or omission in the Seller Information referred to in
Section II.E; and
3. any
liabilities relating to or arising out of the operation of the Business by
Seller prior to the Closing.
C. Procedures for
Indemnification. Any party seeking indemnification hereunder
(an “Indemnitee”) shall
give prompt written notice to the party against which indemnification is sought
(the “Indemnitor”) of
any claims against the Indemnitee as to which a claim for indemnification is to
be made hereunder, which notice shall specify the nature of such claim; provided, however, that the failure to
provide such prompt written notice shall not affect the indemnification
obligations hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor is harmed by
such failure or delay. The Indemnitor shall have the right to
participate, at its own expense, in the defense of any such claim or its
settlement, and the Indemnitee shall permit the Indemnitor to take over the
investigation, defense and settlement of any such claim with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnitee, provided that the Indemnitor bears the fees and
expenses of such counsel. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
(i) the Indemnitor shall not settle any action without the consent of the
Indemnitee unless the settlement has no monetary consequences to the Indemnitee
and the terms of the settlement have no material impact on the conduct of the
Indemnitee’s or its affiliates’ conduct of their business, and (ii) if the
Indemnitee reasonably believes that it has defenses which conflict with or are
in addition to those which may be asserted by the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee
may, at the expense of the Indemnitor, retain separate
counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Indemnitor shall be
obligated to indemnify any Indemnitee unless written notice of the claim with
respect to which indemnification is sought was provided to such Indemnitor as
provided in the first sentence of this paragraph within the two-year period
following the Closing Date.
D. Survival of Representations and
Warranties. All representations and warranties made by any
party in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Closing for a period of two years following the Closing
Date. All covenants and agreements made by any party in this
Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
Closing until fully performed or discharged.
E. Limitations on Indemnification
Obligations of Seller. The rights of the Buyer Indemnitees to
indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section V.B are subject to
the following limitations:
1. the
amount of any and all Buyer Losses will be determined net of (i) any
amounts recovered by the Buyer Indemnitees under insurance policies or other
collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any person that are
contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Buyer Losses (and that
the Buyer Indemnitees agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cover all
possible amounts from such sources) and (ii) any tax benefits actually
realized with respect to such Buyer Losses;
14
2. the Buyer
Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Buyer Losses pursuant to
Section V.B until the total amount that the Buyer Indemnitees would recover
under Section V.B, exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), provided that once
the Basket amount is reached the Buyer Indemnitees will be entitled to receive
the entire amount of Buyer Losses; and
3. the Buyer
Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Buyer Losses if the aggregate claims
actually paid by Seller on account thereof exceed the Initial Payment (the
“Cap”).
F. Limitations on Indemnification
Obligations of Buyer. The rights of the Seller Indemnitees to
indemnification pursuant to the provisions of Section V.A are subject to
the following limitations (which limitations shall not apply to any breach by
Buyer of its covenants to pay the Purchase Price):
1. the
amount of any and all Seller Losses will be determined net of (i) any
amounts recovered by the Seller Indemnitees under insurance policies or other
collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any person that are
contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Seller Losses (and
that the Seller Indemnitees agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to
cover all possible amounts from such sources and (ii) any tax benefits
actually realized with respect to such Seller Losses);
2. the
Seller Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Seller Losses pursuant to
Section V.A until the total amount that the Seller Indemnitees would
recover under Section V.A, exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), provided that once
the Basket amount is reached the Seller Indemnitees will be entitled to receive
the entire amount of Seller Losses; and
3. the
Seller Indemnitees will not be entitled to recover Seller Losses if the
aggregate claims actually paid by Buyer on account thereof exceed the Initial
Payment (the “Cap”).
SECTION VI.
TERMINATION
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby with respect to an affected party may be terminated
(a) by either party upon written notice to the other party if the Closing
has not occurred on or before February 28, 2009; (b) if a party is in
material breach of its obligations hereunder and has not cured such breach
within 10 days following written notice thereof provided to it by the other
party, upon written notice by the non-breaching party to the breaching party; or
(c) by mutual written agreement of both parties. In the event of
termination of this Agreement as provided above, this Agreement shall forthwith
become void, and there shall be no liability on the part of Seller or Buyer,
except for willful breaches of this Agreement prior to the time of such
termination, provided,
however, the obligations of Buyer, Seller and their respective affiliates
under that certain Non-Disclosure & Non-Solicitation Agreement, dated as of
March 3, 2008, shall survive.
15
SECTION VII.
POST-CLOSING
COVENANTS
A. During
the Earn-Out Fee Term, Buyer and its employees and affiliates will not
pro-actively solicit separate account clients or compete with Seller and its
affiliates to provide asset management or investment advisory services for any
separate account clients within the Covered Counties; provided, however, that
Buyer may reactively accept and follow up on any potential clients introduced to
Buyer through any third party not affiliated with Buyer, including a consultant
or pension advisory firm to which Wasatch has furnished data and/or has an
ongoing relationship. Furthermore, this Subsection A does not
apply to wrap programs of national brokerage platforms that extend into the
Covered Counties. The term “Covered Counties” shall mean
the following counties: (i) Berrien, Cass and Kalamazoo counties
in the State of Michigan, and (ii) Xxxxx, Elkhart, Fulton, Huntington,
Kosciusko, La Porte, Marshall, Porter, Pulaski, St. Joseph, Starke,
Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx counties in the State of Indiana.
B. 1. Without the prior written consent of Seller,
while employed by Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer, and for a period of twelve
(12) months thereafter (the “One Year Tail Period”) (the
last day of such employment, the “Termination Date”), Buyer will
use its best efforts to cause each of Xxxxx and
Xxxxxxxx to not directly or indirectly (either alone or in concert with others)
provide any asset management or investment advisory services to clients or
prospects of Seller with whom Xxxxx or Xxxxxxxx had a professional relationship
while Xxxxx or Xxxxxxxx was employed by Seller or Buyer.
2. Buyer
will include the foregoing restrictive covenant provisions in the Xxxxx
Employment Agreement and Xxxxxxxx Employment Agreement, will not amend such
employment agreements to remove such provisions, will include Seller as a third
party beneficiary of such covenants and will enforce such provisions against
Xxxxx and Xxxxxxxx to the best of its ability, including through litigation, if
necessary.
C. Buyer
acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section VII are
reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Seller and do
not cause Buyer undue hardship. Buyer acknowledges that any violation
of this Section VII could cause irreparable harm to Seller, that damages
for such harm may be incapable of precise measurement and that, as a result,
Seller may not have an adequate remedy at law to redress the harm caused by such
violations. Therefore, in the event of an alleged violation of this
Section VII by Buyer or any of its affiliates, Buyer agrees that, in
addition to its other remedies, Seller shall be entitled to seek injunctive
relief and other equitable remedies, including, but not limited to, immediate
temporary injunction, temporary restraining order and/or preliminary or
permanent injunction to restrain or enjoin any such violation. Buyer
hereby agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond
in connection with such remedy.
D. If a
court of competent jurisdiction construes the covenants in this Section VII
or any part hereto, to be unenforceable because of its duration or the
geographical area covered hereby, the court shall modify such unenforceable
provision to the extent necessary so that the provision, as modified, shall then
be enforceable. The parties hereto intend that the provisions of
Section VII shall be deemed to be a series of separate covenants, one for
each and every county of each and every state of the United States of America
within the Covered Counties.
16
E. Buyer
will, and will cause Wasatch to, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that
the New Income Equity Fund remains open for new investment by new and existing
shareholders, and that the New Income Equity Fund is not merged into any other
fund.
F. Buyer
will, and will cause Wasatch to, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that
the New Long/Short Fund remains open for new investment by new and existing
shareholders so long as its assets under management are not in excess of One
Billion Dollars and that the New Long/Short Fund is not merged with any other
fund.
G. For a
period of seven (7) years following the Closing, Buyer shall provide Seller
herewith access to any records which constitute a portion of the Business Assets
for any reasonable purpose.
H. Unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, until January 1, 2011, Seller
will, and will cause Wasatch to, use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that
the names of the New Funds will not be changed and that the term “1st Source”
will continue to be included in such names.
I. Buyer and
Seller each acknowledges that the Reorganization contemplated by this Agreement
is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 15(f) of the 1940
Act. In that regard:
1. Buyer
shall cause Wasatch to use its reasonable best efforts to conduct its business
so as to assure that, insofar as within the control of Buyer and Seller or
Wasatch, for a period of two years after the Closing Date as specified in the
Reorganization Agreement, no change in fees or addition of expenses to the New
Funds or implementation of other arrangements will occur which would result in
an “unfair burden” (as that term is used in Section 15(f) of the 0000 Xxx) to
the New Funds; and
2. Buyer
agrees that it shall cause Wasatch to use its reasonable best efforts to cause
the directors of Wasatch Funds to take, or refrain from taking, such actions to
ensure that, insofar as within the control of Buyer or Wasatch, for a period of
three years after the Closing Date as specified in the Reorganization Agreement,
at least 75% of the members of the board of directors of Wasatch Funds,
including any successors thereto, shall not be “interested persons” (as that
term is defined in the 0000 Xxx) of the Buyer, Seller or Wasatch.
