Certain capitalized terms used herein have the meanings ascribed to them in ARTICLE XI.
WHEREAS, (i) the board of directors of each of Roadrunner, New Pubco and Merger Sub, (ii) the board of managers of Coyote and (iii) the general partner of each Seller, have approved and adopted this Agreement and approved the transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and conditions set forth herein and (to the extent applicable) determined that it is advisable and in the best interests of their respective stockholders, members or partners, as applicable, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
WHEREAS, prior to the Closing, the Coyote Entities and certain of their affiliates shall consummate the Coyote Reorganization, and immediately following the Coyote Reorganization, the Sellers will be the record and beneficial owner of one hundred percent (100%) of the equity interests of Blocker Parent;
WHEREAS, following the Coyote Reorganization, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, as part of a single integrated transaction, (i) at the Effective Time, New Pubco, Merger Sub and Roadrunner shall consummate the Merger, and (ii) immediately following the Effective Time, the Sellers and New Pubco shall consummate the Contribution;
WHEREAS, the Parties intend that, for United States federal income Tax purposes, the Transactions, taken together, shall qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment (defined below); and
WHEREAS, simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and as a condition and inducement to the willingness of Coyote and each Seller to enter into this Agreement, Roadrunner and a stockholder of Roadrunner entered into a voting agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, such stockholder has agreed to vote in favor of the Stock Issuance, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE TRANSACTIONS
Section 1.01 The Merger.
(a) At the Effective Time, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Roadrunner (the “Merger”) in accordance with Section 251(g) of the DGCL and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, whereupon the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Roadrunner shall be the surviving corporation (the “Surviving Entity”). As a result of the Merger, the Surviving Entity shall be a wholly owned subsidiary of New Pubco.
(b) On the Closing Date and as soon as practicable after the Closing, or at such other time as shall be fixed by mutual agreement of Roadrunner and Coyote, Roadrunner shall file a certificate of merger in respect of the Merger with the Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with Section 251 of the DGCL (the “Merger Filing”). The Merger shall become effective as of the time at which the Merger Filing is filed or such later time on the Closing Date as Roadrunner and Coyote shall mutually agree and specify in the Merger Filing (the “Effective Time”).
(c) From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall possess all the rights, powers, privileges and franchises, and be subject to all of the obligations, liabilities, restrictions and disabilities, of Roadrunner and Merger Sub, all as provided under the DGCL.
Section 1.02 The Contribution.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, prior to the Closing, Coyote, Sellers and NMC Ranger shall consummate, or cause the consummation of, the Coyote Reorganization. Immediately following the Effective Time, (i) each Seller shall contribute, transfer and assign to New Pubco all of such Seller’s right, title and interest in all of the Blocker Parent LLC Interests held by such Seller, free and clear of all Liens (other than transfer restrictions arising under applicable securities Laws) (the “Contribution” and, together with the Merger, the “Transactions”), and (ii) in exchange for such Blocker Parent LLC Interests, New Pubco shall (y) issue to each Seller its Pro Rata Share of the Consideration (it being agreed that the Consideration payable at the Closing shall be the Estimated Consideration) and (z) pay to each Seller an amount in cash equal to such Seller’s Pro Rata Share of the Operating Expense Amount. The issuance to the Sellers of the shares of New Pubco Common Stock that comprise the Consideration is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
(b) If, between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, there is a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, split-up, stock dividend, combination or exchange of shares with respect to, or rights issued in respect of, Roadrunner Common Stock (including by merger, consolidation, conversion or otherwise), the Consideration shall be adjusted accordingly to provide to each Seller the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.
2
Section 1.03 Consideration Adjustment.
(a) No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Coyote and the Sellers shall cause to be prepared and shall provide to Roadrunner a written statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail (and utilizing, for purposes of the Roadrunner Transaction Expenses and the Interim Period Share Issuance Amount, the information provided pursuant to Section 6.05) Coyote’s and the Sellers’ good faith estimates of the Coyote Net Debt (and the resulting Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount), Coyote Transaction Expenses (and the resulting Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount), the number of Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, the Specified Payment Amount (including, with respect to each Specified Cash Payee the amount of the Specified Payment Amount to which he, she or it is entitled) and the resulting Consideration (the “Estimated Consideration”), as well as each Seller’s Pro Rata Share. Following delivery of the Estimated Closing Statement, Coyote and the Sellers shall (i) permit Roadrunner and its Representatives to have reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to the books, records and other non-privileged documents (including work papers, schedules and financial statements, etc.) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement and Coyote’s calculation of the Estimated Consideration and provide Roadrunner with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by Roadrunner) and (ii) provide Roadrunner and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours, and after reasonable advance notice, to Coyote’s senior executive employees who were involved in the preparation of the Estimated Closing Statement. Coyote and the Sellers shall consider in good faith any comments by Roadrunner on the Estimated Closing Statement, and if any changes or adjustments are made, the Estimated Closing Statement as so changed or adjusted shall be deemed to be the Estimated Closing Statement, respectively, for all purposes hereunder. The estimated Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount, Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount, Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, and Specified Payment Amount calculations (including the components thereof) reflected in the Estimated Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth in this Agreement.
(b) As promptly as practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Roadrunner shall prepare and deliver to the Sellers a statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth in reasonable detail Roadrunner’s calculation of the Coyote Net Debt (and the resulting Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount), the Coyote Transaction Expenses and the Roadrunner Transaction Expenses (and the resulting Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount), the Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, the Specified Payment Amount, the Interim Period Share Issuance Amount and the resulting Consideration. The Coyote Net Debt Adjustment Amount, the Coyote Net Transaction Expense Adjustment Amount, the Unvested Coyote Restricted Unit Shares, the Specified Payments Amount and the Interim Period Share Issuance Amount (including the components thereof) reflected in the Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the applicable definitions set forth in this Agreement.
(c) Roadrunner shall (i) permit the Sellers and their Representatives to have reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to the books, records and other non-privileged documents (including work papers, schedules and financial statements, etc.) pertaining to or used in connection with the preparation of the Closing
3
Statement and Roadrunner’s calculation of the Consideration and provide the Sellers with copies thereof (as reasonably requested by the Sellers) and (ii) provide the Sellers and their Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and after reasonable advance notice, to Roadrunner’s senior executive employees who were involved in the preparation of the Closing Statement. If the Sellers disagree with any part of Roadrunner’s calculation of the Consideration as set forth on the Closing Statement (including any component thereof), the Sellers shall, within thirty (30) days after the Sellers’ receipt of the Closing Statement, notify Roadrunner in writing of such disagreement by setting forth the Sellers’ calculation of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, and describing in reasonable detail the basis for such disagreement (an “Objection Notice”). If the Sellers do not deliver an Objection Notice to Roadrunner within such thirty (30) day period, the Closing Statement and the Consideration set forth therein prepared and delivered by Roadrunner shall be deemed to be finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03. If an Objection Notice is delivered to Roadrunner, then Roadrunner and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days to resolve their disagreements with respect to the computation of the Consideration. In the event that Roadrunner and the Sellers are unable to resolve all such disagreements within thirty (30) days after Roadrunner’s receipt of such Objection Notice (or such longer period as Roadrunner and the Sellers may agree in writing), Roadrunner and the Sellers shall submit such remaining disagreements to a nationally recognized independent accounting firm that does not have any material conflicts with Roadrunner, Sellers or their respective Affiliates and is mutually agreed upon by Roadrunner and the Sellers (the “Accounting Firm”).
(d) The Accounting Firm, acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator, shall make a final and binding determination with respect to the computation of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, only to the extent such amounts are in dispute. Roadrunner and the Sellers shall cooperate with the Accounting Firm during the term of its engagement and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Accounting Firm to resolve all remaining disagreements with respect to the computation of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, as soon as practicable. The Accounting Firm shall consider only those items and amounts in Roadrunner’s and the Sellers’ respective calculations of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, that are identified as being items and amounts to which Roadrunner and the Sellers have been unable to agree. In resolving any disputed item, the Accounting Firm may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by either party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by either party in the Closing Statement or Objection Notice, as applicable. The Accounting Firm’s determination of the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, shall be based solely on written materials submitted by Roadrunner and the Sellers (i.e., not on independent review) and on the provisions set forth in this Agreement. The determination of the Accounting Firm shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto and shall not be subject to appeal or further review.
(e) The costs and expenses of the Accounting Firm in determining the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, shall be borne by New Pubco.
(f) Within three (3) Business Days after the Consideration, including each of the components thereof, is finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03:
4
(i) if the Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03 is less than the Estimated Consideration, then the Sellers shall forfeit for no consideration the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock, and Roadrunner and the Sellers shall take all necessary actions to effect the forfeiture and cancellation of such shares, including instructing Roadrunner’s transfer agent to cancel such shares and reflect such cancellation in the books and records (including stock ledger) of Roadrunner; and
(ii) if the Consideration as finally determined pursuant to this Section 1.03 is greater than the Estimated Consideration, then Roadrunner shall issue to each Seller, based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share, the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock, and Roadrunner and each Seller shall take all necessary actions to effect such issuances, including instructing Roadrunner’s transfer agent to issue such shares in book-entry form in the name of the applicable Seller.
All adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.03(f) shall (y) be treated by all parties for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income Tax purposes as non-taxable adjustments to the Consideration unless otherwise required by a contrary “final determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code (or any similar provision of state or local Law), and (z) be made solely by the Seller forfeiting the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock or Roadrunner issuing to each Seller the applicable number of shares of New Pubco Common Stock. The adjustments described in Section 1.03(f) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Roadrunner and the Sellers for any and all claims arising under this Agreement with respect to this Section 1.03 on the matters addressed herein.
Section 1.04 Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the closing of the Transactions (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the electronic exchange of documents and signature pages at (a) 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second Business Day following the first date on which all of the conditions to the Transactions set forth in ARTICLE VIII have been satisfied or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waived (other than those conditions that, by their nature, are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or (to the extent permitted by applicable Law) waiver thereof at the Closing), but in no event earlier than the date that is sixty (60) days after the date hereof, or (b) any other time, date or place as is agreed in writing by each of Roadrunner and Coyote. The date on which the Closing actually occurs is referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”
Section 1.05 Governing Documents.
(a) At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of incorporation of Roadrunner as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be amended and restated, such amendment and restatement to be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and, as so amended and restated, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Entity until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law and (ii) the bylaws of Roadrunner as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Entity (except the name of the Surviving Entity shall be R1 RCM Holdco Inc. or such other name as Roadrunner determines prior to the Effective Time) until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or by applicable Law.

Roadrunner and New Pubco shall take all actions necessary so that, promptly after the Effective Time, New Pubco shall cause to become effective a certificate of amendment to the certificate of incorporation of New Pubco changing the name of such entity to R1 RCM Inc.

(b) Roadrunner shall obtain the approval of Coyote (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before issuing any press release or other public statement with respect to the Transactions, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (other than any press release or public statement consistent in all material respects with a prior press release or public statement approved by Coyote) and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such approval, except (y) as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange or (z) in connection with or relating to a Change in Recommendation.
(c) Each Coyote Entity shall obtain the approval of Roadrunner (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) before issuing any press release or other public statement with respect to the Transactions, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such approval, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with any national securities exchange. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any equityholder of a Seller (or Affiliate thereof) that is an investment fund or pooled investment vehicle may disclose general information about the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, and on a confidential basis, financial return and other financial performance information in connection with fundraising, marketing, or informational or reporting activities to its direct or indirect current or potential investors.
Section 7.06 Tax Matters.
(a) The Parties agree that, with respect to the Transactions, the following treatment is intended for U.S. federal (and applicable state, local and non-U.S.) income Tax purposes: (i) it is intended that the Contribution is integrated with the Merger and treated as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Code whereby (A) the Tax Partnership shall be treated as the transferor of the Blocker Parent LLC Interests to New Pubco and the recipient of the Consideration and the Operating Expense Amount in exchange for the Blocker Parent LLC Interests, in each case, for purposes of Section 351 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and (B) such receipt of the Consideration will be governed by Section 351(a) of the Code (and the receipt of the Operating Expense Amount shall be governed by Section 351(b) of the Code), and (ii) (A) it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, (B) this Agreement is and is hereby adopted as a “plan of reorganization” with respect to the Merger within the meaning of Sections 354, 361 and 368 of the Code and Treasury Regulations Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a), and (C) it is intended that, as to Roadrunner (and its direct and indirect owners
63
and any holders of Warrants in Roadrunner), the receipt of New Pubco Common Stock and any warrants described in Section 2.04, in each case, pursuant to the Merger will be governed by Section 354 of the Code, and the receipt of any stock options, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units, and any other form of incentive equity described in Section 2.03, in each case, pursuant to the Merger, will be governed, to the extent applicable, by Section 354 of the Code (collectively, the “Intended Tax Treatment”). The Parties acknowledge that the Tax Partnership and the Sellers (and their beneficial owners) intend to take the Tax reporting position that, in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(8)(i) and PLR 201505001, with respect to any portion of Blocker Parent LLC Interests that are (1) contributed (directly or indirectly, including through the Tax Partnership) by Sellers to New Pubco pursuant to the Contribution and (2) Section 704(c) property, within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(a)(3)(i) and 1.704-3(a)(8)(i), the shares of New Pubco Common Stock that are received (directly or indirectly, including through the Tax Partnership) by Sellers in exchange for such contributed Section 704(c) property will be treated as separate “blocks” of shares of New Pubco Common Stock (the “Sellers’ Reporting Position”). New Pubco agrees that if it is required by applicable Law to provide Tax information to a Governmental Authority, broker, withholding agent or similar party with respect to the Tax basis or holding period of the shares of New Pubco Common Stock described in the previous sentence, New Pubco shall use commercially reasonable efforts to reasonably cooperate with Sellers to provide such Tax information as is required that is consistent with the Sellers’ Reporting Position to the relevant Governmental Authority, broker, withholding agent or similar party. Each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates (including, for this purpose, the Tax Partnership) to, report the Transactions consistently with the Intended Tax Treatment unless otherwise required by a contrary final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law) or a change in applicable Law and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Transactions to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment and shall not take any action (or fail to take any action) that would, or that would be reasonably likely to, cause the exchanges not to so qualify; provided that, subject to the obligations of the Parties described in the subsequent sentence, for all purposes of this Agreement (including for purposes of Section 3.14 and Section 5.11), no action taken by a Party that is specifically contemplated by this Agreement (including the Coyote Reorganization (as may be amended in accordance with the terms of this Agreement)) and the Transaction Agreements shall be considered an action that would, or that would be reasonably likely to, cause the exchanges not to so qualify. If any Party discovers, after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing, any fact that could reasonably be expected to prevent the Transactions from qualifying for the Intended Tax Treatment, then (X) such Party shall, as soon as possible, notify the other Parties and (Y) the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates to, cooperate in good faith and exercise their reasonable best efforts to effect the transactions contemplated hereby (or substantially similar transactions, as reasonably agreed to by the Parties) in a manner that would result in the Intended Tax Treatment or that would result in a Tax treatment no less favorable than the Intended Tax Treatment to the direct or indirect owners of the Coyote Entities and Roadrunner.
(b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each of the Parties will and will cause each of their respective Affiliates and Subsidiaries to cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other, in connection with the filing of New Pubco’s or any of the Coyote Entities’ Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes of New Pubco or any of the Coyote Entities in respect thereof (including in order to make a Push-
64
Out Election). Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other Proceeding with respect to Taxes and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, the Transactions described in this Agreement shall be consummated pursuant to a single plan of combination.
(d) At the expense of New Pubco, New Pubco shall prepare (or cause to be prepared), and timely file (or cause to be timely filed) all Pass-Through Income Tax Returns for any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date that are required to be filed by any Coyote Entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (collectively, “Coyote Tax Partnerships,” and each, a “Coyote Tax Partnership,” and such Tax Returns, the “Coyote Tax Returns”) that are due or otherwise to be filed after the Closing Date. All such Coyote Tax Returns shall be prepared by Deloitte Tax LLP (or such other firm as is mutually agreed) and shall be prepared, and any positions and elections relating thereto made, in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the prior practice of the applicable Coyote Tax Partnership to the extent such prior practice is permitted by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of confidence. Prior to filing any Coyote Tax Return, New Pubco shall submit drafts of such Coyote Tax Returns to the Sellers for Sellers’ review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Sellers and New Pubco disagree regarding any items on such Coyote Tax Returns, such dispute shall be submitted promptly to the Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.03, and such Coyote Tax Returns shall be filed reflecting the Accounting Firm’s resolution. If any such Coyote Tax Returns are required to be filed with an applicable Governmental Authority prior to resolution by the Accounting Firm, New Pubco may (or may cause its applicable Subsidiary) file such Coyote Tax Returns reflecting New Pubco’s proposed reporting positions, and the Sellers or New Pubco, as applicable, will file amended Tax Returns (or administrative adjustment requests) upon resolution by the Accounting Firm, as necessary.
(e) Following the Closing, New Pubco shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) and timely file (or cause to be timely filed) all other Tax Returns of the Coyote Entities (other than the Coyote Tax Returns) that are due or otherwise to be filed after the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and all Pass-Through Income Tax Returns of a Coyote Tax Partnership for any Straddle Period shall be prepared, and any positions and elections relating thereto made, in a manner consistent with this Agreement (including the Intended Tax Treatment, Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules and the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment) and, with respect to any Pass-Through Income Tax Returns of a Coyote Tax Partnership for any Straddle Period, shall be prepared by Deloitte Tax LLP (or such other firm as is mutually agreed) and shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the prior practice of the applicable Coyote Tax Partnership to the extent such prior practice is permitted by applicable Law at a “more likely than not” (or higher) level of confidence. Prior to filing any such Pass-Through Income Tax Return for a Coyote Tax Partnership for any Straddle Period, New Pubco (i) shall submit drafts of such Tax Returns to the Sellers for review and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the Sellers and New Pubco disagree regarding any items on such Tax Returns, such dispute shall be submitted promptly to the Accounting Firm for resolution
65
in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.03, and such Tax Returns shall be filed reflecting the Accounting Firm’s resolution; provided that such resolution does not adversely impact the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment or the Intended Tax Treatment. If any such Tax Returns are required to be filed with an applicable Governmental Authority prior to resolution by the Accounting Firm, New Pubco may file such Tax Returns reflecting New Pubco’s proposed reporting positions (provided such positions do not adversely impact the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment or the Intended Tax Treatment), and New Pubco will file amended Tax Returns (or administrative adjustment requests) upon resolution by the Accounting Firm, as necessary. With respect to any relevant Tax Return, New Pubco will cause the taxable year including the Closing Date of NMC Blocker and Blocker Parent to end as of the end of the day on the Closing Date, to the extent permitted by Law.
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties agree and shall cooperate such that for any Pass-Through Income Tax Return of any Coyote Tax Partnership for a Straddle Period: (i) an election under Section 754 of the Code shall be made (if not already in effect), and (ii) distributive shares of such Coyote Tax Partnership’s taxable income, gain, loss, and deduction for any Straddle Period shall be reported using the interim closing method and the calendar day convention under Treasury Regulations Section 1.706-4.
(g) New Pubco shall have the sole right to control, at New Pubco’s expense, any Proceeding of a Coyote Entity with respect to a Coyote Tax Return (each, a “Coyote Tax Proceeding”); provided, that (i) New Pubco shall keep the Sellers reasonably informed regarding material developments in any Coyote Tax Proceeding, (ii) each Seller shall be entitled at its expense to participate in any such Coyote Tax Proceeding, and (iii) New Pubco shall not compromise or settle such Coyote Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Sellers, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (taking into account the obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment and the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment).
(h) New Pubco shall have the sole right to control any Proceeding with respect to Pass-Through Income Tax Returns of a Coyote Tax Partnership for a Straddle Period (each, a “Straddle Tax Proceeding”); provided, that (i) New Pubco shall keep the Sellers reasonably informed regarding material developments in any Straddle Tax Proceeding, (ii) each Seller shall be entitled at its expense to participate in any such Straddle Tax Proceeding to the extent relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, and (iii) to the extent any compromise or settlement of any Straddle Tax Proceeding could reasonably be expected to adversely impact the direct or indirect beneficial owners of a Seller, New Pubco shall not compromise or settle such Straddle Tax Proceeding without the prior written consent of such Seller, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed (taking into account the obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Intended Tax Treatment and the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment).
(i) On any Pass-Through Income Tax Return filed after the Closing Date and in connection with any Proceeding under the Partnership Tax Audit Rules with respect to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return filed prior to the Closing, New Pubco and its Subsidiaries and Sellers and the Coyote Entities shall cause the applicable Coyote Tax Partnership to appoint New Pubco (or such other Person as is designated by New Pubco) as the “partnership representative” of the applicable Coyote Tax Partnership for purposes of the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, and Sellers
66
and the Coyote Entities shall take all actions necessary to effect such result. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent any Proceeding of a Coyote Tax Partnership relating to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return is subject to the Partnership Tax Audit Rules, unless otherwise determined by New Pubco in its sole discretion, a timely election shall be made under Section 6226 of the Code (and any similar provisions under federal, state or local Law) with respect to any imputed underpayment arising in connection with such Proceeding (a “Push-Out Election”). Each Seller, each Coyote Entity, New Pubco and its Subsidiaries shall cooperate in any such Proceeding and in making a Push-Out Election, including providing all necessary information to allow a timely and proper Push-Out Election to be made.
(j) Prior to or in connection with the Closing, (i) (A) each Seller and the Tax Partnership shall deliver to New Pubco an IRS Form W-9 duly and properly executed on behalf of such Seller or the Tax Partnership or (B) Blocker Parent shall deliver to New Pubco a certificate executed by one of Blocker Parent’s officers that Blocker Parent is not a “United States real property holding corporation” in the form of Exhibit E (together with a notice, in the form required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2) which shall be mailed to the IRS in accordance with such Treasury Regulation); provided, to the extent any form specified in clause (A) is not delivered prior to or in connection with the Closing, such form shall be delivered to New Pubco as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, (ii) Sellers shall deliver evidence reasonably satisfactory to New Pubco that any withholding obligations under Sections 1445 and 1446(f) of the Code with respect to the Coyote Reorganization have been satisfied, including, for the avoidance of doubt, by providing evidence of any certificates necessary to establish a complete exemption from withholding, and (iii) Roadrunner shall deliver to New Pubco a certificate executed by one of Roadrunner’s officers that Roadrunner is not a “United States real property holding corporation” in the form of Exhibit E (together with a notice, in the form required by Treasury Regulation Section 1.897-2(h)(2) which shall be mailed to the IRS in accordance with such Treasury Regulation).
(k) Following the Closing, without each Seller’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed), except as otherwise permitted or required by this Agreement (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 7.06(f) and Section 7.06(i)), none of New Pubco, Roadrunner or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall (i) change any method of accounting or Tax reporting position for a Coyote Tax Partnership on a Pass-Through Income Tax Return, (ii) file any administrative adjustment request (or state or local equivalent) with respect to any Pass-Through Income Tax Return or file any amended Pass-Though Income Tax Return of a Coyote Tax Partnership, (iii) make any Tax election with respect to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return that has retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (iv) make any entity classification election (including on IRS Form 8832 for U.S. federal income Tax purposes or any successor form or other similar election for state or local income Tax purposes) with respect to any Coyote Entity that has retroactive effect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, (v) initiate or pursue the process for entering into a “voluntary disclosure agreement” (or comparable arrangement) with a Governmental Authority with respect to a Pass-Through Income Tax Return, or (vi) take any action outside the ordinary course of business on the Closing Date after the Closing (other than as explicitly contemplated by this Agreement), in each case, to the extent such action would reasonably be expected to (A) result in Taxes payable by a Seller (or its direct or indirect owners), (B) reduce the Consideration pursuant to Section 1.03, (C) require a Seller (or its direct or indirect owners) to file an amended Tax Return (or any administrative adjustment request, or similar action), (D) cause the Coyote Reorganization to fail to qualify for the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment (E) cause the Transactions to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment.
67
(l) Following the date hereof, Coyote may amend Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules with the prior written consent of Roadrunner (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, where, without limitation, withholding such consent shall be considered reasonable if such amendment could be reasonably expected to (1) have an adverse impact on Roadrunner (or any of its shareholders) or (2) cause (or be reasonably likely to cause) the Transactions to fail to qualify for the Intended Tax Treatment). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to each of the statements of fact set forth in Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules regarding the Coyote Reorganization, including as to the ownership, activities, and U.S. federal income tax classification of the respective Persons referenced therein, being true and accurate in all material respects (but only to the extent such statements of fact being true and accurate in all material respects is necessary in order to support a particular element of the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment (as defined below) under applicable Law), New Pubco and Roadrunner agree to (and agree to cause their Subsidiaries and Affiliates to) file all Tax Returns and take all Tax positions in a manner consistent with the Tax treatment set forth on Section 8.02(E) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules (the “Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment”), unless otherwise required by a contrary determination within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code (or any similar U.S. state, local or non-U.S. Law). New Pubco and Roadrunner agree not to (and agree to cause their Affiliates not to) take any action (or fail to take any action) that would or would be reasonably expected to cause the Coyote Reorganization to fail to qualify for the Coyote Reorganization Tax Treatment.
(m) New Pubco and Coyote hereby covenant and agree that they shall not, and shall not permit any of their Affiliates (or any of their respective successors or assigns) to, seek any reimbursement or indemnification from any of the direct or indirect owners of the Coyote Entities (as of immediately prior to the Contribution) in respect of Taxes from and after the Closing Date; provided, that nothing in this Section 7.06(m) shall prohibit the making of a Push-Out Election or for the aforementioned Persons to bear any liabilities arising therefrom.
(n) The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to ensure that each holder of Class P Units of Coyote (each, a “Coyote Employee Holder”) shall timely file an election under Section 83(b) of the Code on or following the date of the consummation of the Second Merger with respect to the CoyCo 1 or CoyCo 2 equity interests, as applicable, issued in exchange for the Blocker Parent equity of such Coyote Employee Holders in connection with the Second Merger.
Section 7.07 Benefit Plans and Employee Matters.
(a) Following the Closing Date through December 31, 2022 (or, if shorter, the applicable Continuing Employee’s period of employment), New Pubco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, provide each employee who is employed by any Coyote Entity prior to the Closing and who remains so employed immediately following the Closing (each, a “Continuing Employee”) (i) base salary or wages and annual and other short-term cash incentive and other bonus and commission opportunities (excluding any equity or equity-based compensation or retention and long-term incentive bonuses) that are, in each case, no less favorable in the aggregate
68
than those provided to such Continuing Employee immediately prior to the Closing, and (ii) employee benefits (excluding any equity or equity-based benefits, retention and long-term incentive bonuses, defined benefit plan benefits and retiree health and welfare benefits) no less favorable in the aggregate than (A) those provided to such Continuing Employee by the Coyote Entities immediately prior to the Closing Date under the Coyote Benefit Plans set forth on Section 3.15(a) of the Coyote Disclosure Schedules (as such Coyote Benefit Plans may be amended or modified prior to the Closing as permitted pursuant to Section 6.01) or (B) those provided to similarly situated Roadrunner Employees.
(b) New Pubco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, as applicable, give each Continuing Employee full credit under any employee benefit plan or program made available to the Continuing Employees by New Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries following the Closing Date (each, a “Buyer Benefit Plan”) for such Continuing Employees’ service with any Coyote Entity for purposes of eligibility to participate and vesting to the same extent and for the same purpose that such service was recognized by any Coyote Entity immediately prior to the Closing Date under the similar Coyote Benefit Plan (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan); provided, however, that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or compensation with respect to the same period of service.
(c) New Pubco shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) credit any expenses incurred by the Continuing Employees and their eligible dependents under Coyote Benefit Plans that are group health plans in which the Continuing Employees participated immediately prior to the Closing during the portion of the applicable plan year prior to the Closing toward satisfying any deductibles, co-payments or out-of-pocket maximums under the analogous Buyer Benefit Plans that are group health plans for the plan year in which the Closing occurs; and (ii) waive any waiting period, pre-existing condition limitation, actively-at-work requirement, or evidence of insurability requirement that would otherwise be applicable to a Continuing Employee and his or her eligible dependents under any Buyer Benefit Plan.
(d) Nothing contained in this Section 7.07 shall be considered or deemed to establish, amend, or modify any Coyote Benefit Plan, Buyer Benefit Plan or other benefit or compensation plan, program, policy, agreement, arrangement, or contract, or create or confer any rights or benefits (including any third-party beneficiary rights) on any Person other than the Parties to this Agreement.
(e) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall (i) impose an obligation on New Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries to continue employment of any Coyote Employee after the Closing Date, (ii) limit the right of New Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate the employment of, or to reassign or otherwise alter the status of, any Coyote Employee after the Closing Date, or to change in any manner not inconsistent with this Section 7.06(a) the terms and conditions of the employment of any employee of any Coyote Entity after the Closing Date, (iii) require New Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries to continue any Buyer Benefit Plan or be construed to prevent, and no action by Coyote prior to the Closing Date shall limit the ability of, New Pubco or any of its Subsidiaries to terminate, amend, or modify to any extent or in any respect any Buyer Benefit Plan that New Pubco or any of its Affiliates may establish or maintain, or (iv) be construed as amending any Buyer Benefit Plan.
69
Section 7.08 Stockholders Meeting; Fiduciary Exception to Recommendation.
(a) Roadrunner will use, in accordance with applicable Law and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Roadrunner, its reasonable best efforts to (x) as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement, establish a record date for and (y) as soon as reasonably practicable following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of stockholders to consider and vote upon the approval of the Stock Issuance (the “Stockholders Meeting”) and shall submit such proposal to such holders at the Stockholders Meeting and shall not submit any other proposal to such holders in connection with the Stockholders Meeting (other than a customary proposal regarding adjournment of the Stockholders Meeting) without the prior written consent of Coyote (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). The Stockholders Meeting shall occur not more than forty five (45) days after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC. Roadrunner shall not change such record date for the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Coyote (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the board of directors of Roadrunner has not made a Change in Recommendation in accordance with Section 7.08(b), Roadrunner’s Board of Directors shall make the Recommendation and shall include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement and recommend at the Stockholders Meeting that the stockholders of Roadrunner approve the Stock Issuance and Roadrunner shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and solicit such approval (including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies in favor of the approval of the Stock Issuance and taking all other action reasonably necessary to secure the Requisite Approval). Roadrunner shall not adjourn or otherwise postpone or delay the Stockholders Meeting without the prior written consent of Coyote; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) if on the date on which the Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, (i) there are insufficient shares of Roadrunner Common Stock represented (in person or by proxy) to obtain the Requisite Vote, whether or not a quorum is present or (ii) there are insufficient shares of Roadrunner Common Stock represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Stockholders Meeting, Roadrunner may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Stockholders Meeting so as to allow reasonable additional time for solicitation of proxies for purposes of obtaining quorum or the Requisite Vote as long as the date of the Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments in reliance on the preceding sentence or (y) in consultation with Coyote, Roadrunner may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Stockholders Meeting to the extent necessary to ensure that any required supplemental or amended disclosure is disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of Roadrunner prior to the Stockholders Meeting; provided, further, that if requested by Coyote in writing, Roadrunner shall effect up to two (2) adjournments or postponements of the Stockholders Meeting under the circumstances contemplated by clause (x) for a period of up to ten (10) Business Days each.
70
(b) Neither the Roadrunner Board of Directors nor any committee thereof shall (A) withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Coyote, or propose publicly to withdraw, qualify or modify in a manner adverse to Coyote, the Recommendation or its declaration of advisability, or resolve or agree to take any such action, (B) subject to Section 7.12(b), adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, or propose publicly to adopt, endorse, approve or recommend, any Roadrunner Acquisition Transaction, or resolve or agree to take any such action, (C) following the date any Roadrunner Acquisition Transaction or any material modification thereto, or any Intervening Event, is first made public or sent or given to the stockholders of Roadrunner, fail to issue a press release publicly reaffirming the Recommendation within five (5) Business Days after a request by Coyote to do so (it being understood that Roadrunner will have no obligation to make such reaffirmation on more than three separate occasions) or (D) fail to include the Recommendation in the Proxy Statement when disseminated to the Roadrunner stockholders (any actions in clauses (a) through (d) being referred to herein as a “Change in Recommendation”) (it being understood that a customary “stop, look and listen” disclosure in compliance with Rule 14d-9(f) of the Exchange Act shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change in Recommendation). Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, prior to the time the Requisite Vote is obtained, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner may make a Change in Recommendation in response to an Intervening Event if the following conditions are satisfied: (1) an Intervening Event has occurred, (2) in light of such Intervening Event, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner has determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law, (3) Roadrunner has notified Coyote in writing that Roadrunner’s Board of Directors intends to take make a Change in Recommendation and the basis therefor (which notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of the Intervening Event in connection with which Roadrunner’s Board of Directors has given such notice) (any such notice, a “Triggering Notice”), (4) at least five (5) Business Days pass following Coyote’s receipt of the Triggering Notice (it being understood that any material change to the Intervening Event shall constitute a new Intervening Event and shall require Roadrunner to provide a new Triggering Notice in respect of such Intervening Event and comply with this Section 7.08(b) in respect of such Intervening Event, except that, in such case, the five (5) Business Day period referred to in this clause (4) and in clauses (5) and (6) shall be reduced to three (3) Business Days following the giving of such new Triggering Notice), (5) after providing such Triggering Notice and prior to effecting such Change in Recommendation, (x) Roadrunner shall, during such five (5) Business Day period, negotiate in good faith with Coyote and its Representatives, to the extent Coyote wishes to negotiate, with respect to any revisions to the terms of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement proposed by Coyote, and (y) in determining whether it may still under the terms of this Agreement make a Change in Recommendation, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner shall take into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Coyote and any other information provided by Coyote in response to such notice during such five (5) Business Day period and (6) such Intervening Event is continuing and, after taking into account any changes to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Coyote and any other information provided by Coyote in response to a Triggering Notice during such five (5) Business Day period, the Board of Directors of Roadrunner again determines in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to make a Change in Recommendation in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the directors’ fiduciary duties under applicable Law. Notwithstanding any Change in Recommendation, the proposal in respect of the Stock Issuance shall be submitted to the Roadrunner stockholders at the Stockholders Meeting for the purpose of obtaining the Requisite Approval, and nothing contained herein (unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms) shall relieve Roadrunner of such obligation.

(f) Without Coyote’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) Roadrunner shall not agree to any termination, replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification or, or waive any of its rights under, the Financing Commitment or the Financing Agreements with respect to the Financing Commitment, if such termination, replacement, amendment, supplement or other modification would (any of the following being, a “Prohibited Amendment”) (w) reduce the amount of aggregate cash proceeds available from the Financing below an amount that, when combined with available cash of Roadrunner, is sufficient to fund the Required Amount, (x) impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand or modify any existing condition precedent to the funding of the Financing, (y) prevent, delay or impede the consummation of the Contribution, the Financing or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (z) impact the ability of Roadrunner to enforce its rights against other parties to the Financing Commitment of the definitive agreements with respect thereto; provided that (x) Roadrunner may amend the Financing Commitment to (1) add lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Financing Commitment as of the date of this Agreement, (2) in connection with an Alternate Financing Commitment, or (3) to the extent not otherwise constituting a Prohibited Amendment, and (y) the existence or exercise of any “flex” provisions in the Fee Letter as in effect on the date of this Agreement shall not be prohibited, but only to the extent doing so would not impose new or additional conditions precedent or expand or modify any existing condition precedent to the receipt and availability of the Financing. Upon any such permitted amendment, supplement, modification, waiver or replacement of the Financing Commitment in accordance with this Section 7.13(f), the terms “Financing Commitment” and “Financing” shall refer to the Financing Commitment as so amended, supplemented, modified, waived or replaced and the debt financing contemplated thereby.

If any portion of the Financing becomes unavailable (after giving effect to any other financing sources than available) on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) contemplated in the Financing Commitment in effect on the date of this Agreement (other than as a result of the termination of the Financing Commitment on the End Date pursuant to the terms thereof) so as to reduce the amount of aggregate cash proceeds from the portion of the Financing that is still available below an amount that, when combined with available cash of Roadrunner, is sufficient to fund the Required Amount, Roadrunner shall use their reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, alternate financing from the same or alternative sources in an amount sufficient, when added to the portion of the Financing being replaced that is still available and available cash of Roadrunner, to fund the Required Amount and on terms and conditions that are not less favorable
76
to Roadrunner, taken as a whole (taking into account any flex provisions), than those set forth in the Financing Commitment in effect on the date of this Agreement (“Alternate Financing” and the agreement that evidences such commitment, the “Alternate Financing Commitment”). Roadrunner shall, upon Coyote’s reasonable request from time to time, keep Coyote and its counsel reasonably informed of the status of their efforts to arrange the Financing in reasonable detail.

In no event shall Coyote or any of its Affiliates (i) seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, any Financing Source in its capacity as such or (ii) seek to enforce the commitments directly against, make any claims for breach of the commitments contained in the Financing Commitment against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, or otherwise xxx, the Financing Sources for any reason, including in connection with the Financing or the obligations of the Financing Sources thereunder. Nothing in this Section 7.13(g)shall in anyway limit or qualify the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties to the Financing Commitment under the Financing Commitment or the rights of Coyote to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover monetary damages from, Roadrunner, New Pubco or Merger Sub.
(h) No other provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to expand or modify the foregoing obligations of the Coyote Entities with respect to the Financing, which are the sole obligations of the Coyote Entities with respect to the Financing.

(i) By Roadrunner upon delivery of written notice to Coyote, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Coyote or a Seller in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would cause the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 to be satisfied as of the Closing Date and (B) (x) cannot be cured by the End Date or (y) if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice to Coyote from Roadrunner of such breach; provided that Roadrunner may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(i) if Roadrunner is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect (which breach has not been cured) so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 not to be satisfied.
84
(ii) By Coyote upon delivery of written notice to Roadrunner, if there has been a breach of or failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by Roadrunner in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would cause the failure of a condition set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.03 to be satisfied as of the Closing Date and (B) (x) cannot be cured prior to the End Date or (y) if capable of being cured, shall not have been cured by the date that is thirty (30) calendar days following receipt of written notice to Roadrunner from Coyote of such breach; provided that Coyote may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(b)(ii) if Coyote is then in breach of this Agreement in any material respect (which breach has not been cured) so as to cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 or Section 8.02 not to be satisfied.
(c) End Date. By Coyote or Roadrunner upon delivery of written notice to the other if the Closing has not occurred on before July 31, 2022 (the “End Date”); provided that neither Roadrunner nor Coyote will be entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) if the breach of, or failure to fulfill any obligation under, this Agreement by, in the case of Roadrunner, any of Roadrunner, New Pubco or Merger Sub or, in the case of Coyote, any Coyote Entity, has been the principal cause of the failure of the Closing to occur at or prior to such time on the End Date.
(d) Orders; Laws. By either Roadrunner or Coyote upon delivery of written notice to the other if any Governmental Authority shall have issued or entered any final and non-appealable Order or enacted any Law which, in any such case, (i) permanently restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) would prevent the Closing from occurring as contemplated by this Agreement on or prior to the End Date.
(e) Requisite Vote.

Section 9.02 Effect of Termination.
(a) In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.01, this Agreement shall become void and of no effect without liability of any Party (or any Affiliate, stockholder, member, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or Representative of such
85
Party or its Affiliates); provided that, the termination of this Agreement shall not relieve (a) Roadrunner from any obligation to pay, if applicable, the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount pursuant to Section 9.02(b) or (b) any Party from any liability for such Party’s willful and material breach of a covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination, or for such Party’s actual Fraud. The provisions of Section 7.13(d), this Section 9.02, Section 9.04, ARTICLE X, ARTICLE XI and the Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful and material breach” shall mean a breach that is a consequence of an act undertaken, or failed to be undertaken, by the breaching party with the knowledge that the taking of such act, or the failure to take such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, result in a material breach of this Agreement.
(b) If this Agreement is terminated by Coyote pursuant to Section 9.01(f)then Roadrunner shall, within two (2) Business Days after such termination (or if later, two (2) Business Days after Coyote delivers to Roadrunner invoices or other supporting documentation with respect to Coyote Transaction Expenses), pay to Coyote an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Coyote Transaction Expenses to the extent they are out-of-pocket fees and expenses (excluding internal expenses) and (ii) $10,000,000, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified by Coyote in writing (the “Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount”). If Roadrunner fails to pay the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount as set forth herein, Roadrunner shall also be liable for any reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by Coyote, the Sellers or their Affiliates in connection with their collection efforts under this Section 9.02 to receive the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount.
(c) Each Party acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.02 are an integral part of this Agreement. The Parties further acknowledge that the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount shall not constitute a penalty but is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate Coyote and Seller in the circumstances in which the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount is payable for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision. The Parties further acknowledge that the right to receive the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount shall not limit or otherwise affect any such Party’s right to specific performance as provided in Section 9.04, provided that in no event shall Coyote or Seller be entitled to receive both specific performance and payment of the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, but without limiting or affecting Coyote and Seller’s rights to specific performance as provided in Section 9.04, in any circumstance in which Coyote is paid the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount by Roadrunner pursuant to Section 9.02(b), the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount (together with any Enforcement Costs and Coyote’s and Seller’s rights to reimbursement and indemnification pursuant to Section 7.13(d)) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law, in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise) of Coyote, Seller and their respective former, current or future stockholders, partners, controlling Persons, managers,
86
members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future stockholder, partner, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Coyote Related Parties”) against Roadrunner, New Pubco, Merger Sub, any Financing Source, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective former, current or future stockholders, partners, controlling Persons, managers, members, directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, representatives, agents or any their respective assignees or successors or any former, current or future stockholder, partner, controlling Person, manager, member, director, officer, employee, Affiliate, representative, agent, assignee or successor of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Roadrunner Related Parties”) for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the failure of the Transactions and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement to be consummated or for a breach of, or failure to perform under, this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or otherwise or in respect of any representation made or alleged to have been made in connection herewith or therewith, and upon payment of the Transaction Expense Reimbursement Amount (together with any Enforcement Costs and any obligations pursuant to Section 7.13(d)), none of the Roadrunner Related Parties shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement or in respect of representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether in equity or at law, in contract, in tort or otherwise, except that nothing herein shall relieve Roadrunner, New Pubco or Merger Sub from liability for willful and material breach of a covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement occurring prior to such termination or for such Party’s actual Fraud.
Section 9.03 Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties or (b) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights.
Section 9.04 Remedies. Each of the Parties shall have and retain all rights and remedies, at law or in equity, including rights to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, arising out of or relating to a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement and that irreparable harm would result if this Agreement were not specifically enforced. Therefore, the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and shall be granted in connection therewith, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security or proving irreparable harm and without regard to the adequacy of any remedy at Law. A Party’s right to specific performance and injunctive relief shall be in addition to all other legal or equitable remedies available to such Party. Notwithstanding anything the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party entitled to specific performance to cause the other Parties to consummate the Closing unless the Financing (or Alternate Financing) has been funded or will be funded at the Closing.

Section 10.03 Interpretation.
(a) When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, a Section, an Exhibit or a Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”. The phrases “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar import shall be deemed to refer to this Agreement as a whole, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The words “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either” and “or” shall be inclusive and not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which the subject extends and does not simply mean “if.” References to “dollars” or “$” are references to U.S. dollars. The meaning assigned to each capitalized term defined and used in this Agreement is equally applicable to both the singular and the plural forms of such term, and words denoting any gender include all genders. Where a word or phrase is defined in this Agreement, each of its other grammatical forms has a corresponding meaning. All terms defined in this Agreement will have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant to this Agreement unless otherwise defined in such certificate or document. References to any Person include the successors and permitted assigns of that Person. A reference to any specific legislation or to any provision of any legislation includes any amendment to, and any modification, re-enactment or successor thereof, any legislative provision substituted therefor and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto, except that, for purposes of any representations and warranties in this Agreement that are made as a specific date, references to any specific legislation will be deemed to refer to such legislation or provision (and all rules, regulations and statutory instruments issued thereunder or pursuant thereto) as of such date. References to any Contract are to that Contract as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
89
(b) The Parties acknowledge and agree that they have been represented by legal counsel during, and have participated jointly in, the negotiation and execution of this Agreement. Accordingly, they waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.
Section 10.04 Disclosure Schedules.
(a) The Coyote Entities have set forth certain information in the Coyote Disclosure Schedule in a section thereof that corresponds to the Section or portion of a Section of this Agreement to which it relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a matter set forth in one section of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule need not be set forth in any other section of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule so long as its relevance to such other section of the Coyote Disclosure Schedule or Section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the information disclosed in such Coyote Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on the Coyote Disclosure Schedule does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.
(b) Roadrunner has set forth certain information in the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule in a section thereof that corresponds to the Section or portion of a Section of this Agreement to which it relates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a matter set forth in one section of the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule need not be set forth in any other section of the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule so long as its relevance to such other section of the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule or Section of this Agreement is reasonably apparent on the face of the information disclosed in such Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure on the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.
(c) The information contained in this Agreement, in the Coyote Disclosure Schedule and in the Roadrunner Disclosure Schedule is disclosed solely for purposes of this Agreement, and no information contained herein or therein will be deemed to be an admission by any Party to any third Person of any matter whatsoever, including (i) any violation of Law or breach of contractual obligation or (ii) that such information is material or required to be provided or disclosed under this Agreement.
Section 10.05 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner to the end that transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible and in a manner so as to as closely as possible provide the Parties with the intended benefits, net of the intended burdens, set forth in any such invalid, void or unenforceable provision.
90
Section 10.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto agrees that all disputes or controversies arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without regard to the laws of any other jurisdiction that might be applied because of the conflicts of laws principles of the State of New York, except as otherwise provided in the commitment letter or definitive documentation with respect to the Financing.

Any purported assignment without such required consent shall be void. Subject to the preceding sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns. No assignment by any Party will relieve such Party of any of its obligations hereunder.
