accordance with the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law. It
is
the intention of the parties hereto that this transaction qualify as a tax-free

as amended, and related sections thereunder.
2. Terms
of Merger.
In
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the requirements of
applicable law, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company as of
the
Effective Time (the terms “Closing”
and
“Effective
Time”
are
defined in Section 0
hereof).
The Company shall be the surviving corporation (hereinafter the “Surviving
Corporation”)
and
the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease when the Merger shall become
effective. Consummation of the Merger shall be upon the following terms and
subject to the conditions set forth herein:
(a) Corporate
Existence.
(i) Commencing
with the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall continue its corporate
existence as a Delaware corporation and (i) it shall thereupon and thereafter
possess all rights, privileges, powers, franchises and property (real, personal
and mixed) of each of Merger Sub and the Company (collectively, the
“Constituent
Corporations”);
(ii) all debts due to either of the Constituent Corporations, on whatever
account, all causes in action and all other things belonging to either of the
Constituent Corporations shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and
shall be vested in the Surviving Corporation by virtue of the Merger without
further act or deed; and (iii) all rights of creditors and all liens, if any,
upon any property of any of the Constituent Corporations shall be preserved
unimpaired, limited in lien to the property affected by such liens immediately
prior to the Effective Time, and all debts, liabilities and duties of the
Constituent Corporations shall thenceforth attach to the Surviving Corporation.
(ii) At
the
Effective Time, (i) the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
the
Company, as amended, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation, and the By-laws of the Company, as existing immediately prior
to
the Effective Time, shall be and remain the By-laws of the Surviving
Corporation; (ii) the members of the Board of Directors of the Company holding
office immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain as the members
of
the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation (if on or after the
Effective Time a vacancy exists on the Board of Directors of the Surviving
Corporation, such vacancy may thereafter be filled in a manner provided by
applicable law and the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation); and (iii) until
the Board of Directors of the Surviving Corporation shall otherwise determine,
all persons who hold offices of the Company at the Effective Time shall continue
to hold the same offices of the Surviving Corporation.
(b) Conversion
of Securities.
As
of the
Effective Time and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the
Company or the holders of any of the securities of any of the Constituent
Corporations, each of the following shall occur:
3
(i) Each
share of Company Common Stock (as defined hereinafter) issued and outstanding
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into a number of
shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined hereinafter) equal to the Conversion
Ratio (as defined hereinafter). At the Effective Time, all such shares of
Company Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically
be
canceled and shall cease to exist, and each certificate previously evidencing
any such shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive, upon the
surrender of such certificate in accordance with the provisions of
Section 0
hereof,
certificates evidencing such number of shares of Parent Common Stock,
respectively, into which such shares of Company Common Stock were converted.
The
holders of such certificates previously evidencing shares of Company Common
Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have
any rights with respect to such shares of Company Common Stock except as
otherwise provided herein or by law. The shares of Parent Common Stock issued
to
the holders of the capital stock of the Company shall be subject to certain
restrictions on any sale, assignment, transfer, encumbrance or other manner
of
disposition as more fully set forth below;
(ii) Any
shares of capital stock of the Company held in the treasury of the Company
immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be canceled and
extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with
respect thereto; and
(iii) Each
share of capital stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior
to
the Effective Time shall remain in existence as one thousand shares of common
stock of the Surviving Corporation, which shall be owned by Parent.
Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by
a
holder (a “Dissenting
Stockholder”)
who
has not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who
has
properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with the Delaware
General Corporation Law (“Dissenting
Shares”)
shall
not be converted into a right to receive the Parent Common Stock at the
Effective Time, but shall represent and become the right to receive such
consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder
pursuant to the laws of the State of Delaware, unless and until such holder
fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to
appraisal and payment under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
“DGCL”).
At
the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part
of the holder thereof, all Dissenting Shares shall be cancelled and shall cease
to exist. If, after the Effective Time, such Dissenting Stockholder fails to
perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses such holder’s right to appraisal, such
former Dissenting Shares held by such holder shall be treated as if they had
been converted as of the Effective Time into a right to receive, upon surrender
as provided above, Parent Common Stock without any interest thereon.
4
The
Company shall give the Merger Sub, or after the Effective Time, the surviving
corporation, prompt notice of any demands received for appraisal of shares
of
Company capital stock, any withdrawals of any such demands and any other
instruments served pursuant to the DGCL and received by the Company.
(c) Other
Matters.
(i) Upon
the
effectiveness of the Merger, each outstanding option or warrant to purchase
Company Common Stock, whether or not then exercisable, shall be converted into
an option or warrant to purchase a number of shares of Parent Common Stock
equal
to the Conversion Ratio multiplied by the number of shares of Company Common
Stock subject to such option or warrant, at a price per share equal to the
exercise price per share in effect immediately prior to the Merger divided
by
the Conversion Ratio. All other terms and conditions of each option or warrant
to purchase Company Common Stock shall remain the same.
(ii) At
the
Closing, the existing directors of Parent or its stockholders shall nominate
and
elect to the Board of Directors of Parent Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx
(or
a designee of Pinto Technology Ventures, L.P.), Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxx,
or such other persons designated by the Company (the “Company
Nominees”),
and
all of the persons serving as directors and officers of Parent immediately
prior

Parent.

(the “Escrow

certificates representing a number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to

4. Delivery
of Shares.
Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall mail to each record holder

of
Transmittal duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions

which
such holder’s shares of Company capital stock were converted pursuant to the
Merger (the “New
Certificates”),
that
such holder is entitled to receive, which shall be delivered by Parent in
accordance with the instructions provided by such holder in the Letter of
Transmittal executed by such holder. Until surrendered and exchanged as herein
provided, each outstanding certificate which, prior to the Effective Time,
represented Company Common Stock shall be deemed for all corporate purposes
to
evidence ownership of the same number of shares of Parent Common Stock into
which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such certificate shall
have been so converted. No dividends or other distributions declared or made
with respect to Parent Common Stock after the Effective Time will be paid to
the
holder of any certificate that prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares
of
Company Common Stock until the holder of such certificate surrenders or
exchanges such certificate as herein provided. Subject to the effect of any
applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, following surrender
of
any such certificate, there will be paid to the holder of the certificates
evidencing shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without

date
after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent
Common Stock and
6
(ii)
at
the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions,
with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the surrender and
a
payment date occurring after surrender, payable with respect to such shares
of
Parent Common Stock less any withholding taxes which are required thereon.
No
party hereto will be liable to any former holder of Company Common Stock for
any
Parent Common Stock or dividends or distributions thereon in each case delivered
to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat
or
similar law. In the event any certificate representing Company Common Stock
shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit
of
that fact by the holder of Company Common Stock claiming such certificate to
be
lost, stolen or destroyed and an agreement by such holder to indemnify and
hold
harmless Parent and the Surviving Corporation against any claim that may be
made
against them with respect to such certificate, Parent will issue in exchange
for
such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate Parent Common Stock to which such
holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement.

6. Representations
of Parent, Merger Sub and the Principal Shareholders.
Parent,
Merger Sub and the Principal Shareholders hereby severally, and not jointly,
represent and warrant as follows, each of which representations and warranties
shall also be true as of the Closing:
(a) As
of the
Closing, the shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued and delivered to the
stockholders of the Company (the “Company
Stockholders”)
hereunder and in connection herewith will, when so issued and delivered,
constitute duly authorized, validly and legally issued, fully-paid,
nonassessable shares of Parent capital stock, will not be issued in violation
of
any preemptive or similar rights and will be issued free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances. As of the Closing, the shares of Parent Common Stock to be
reserved for issuance to the holders of options and warrants to purchase Company
Common Stock, when so issued and delivered in accordance with such options
or
warrants, will constitute duly authorized, validly and legally issued,
fully-paid, nonassessable shares of Parent capital stock, will not be issued
in
violation of any preemptive or similar rights and will be issued free and clear
of all liens and encumbrances.
(b) Each
of
Parent and Merger Sub has the corporate power to enter into this Agreement
and
to perform its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby have
been
duly authorized by the respective Boards of Directors of Parent and Merger
Sub
and by Parent as the sole stockholder of Merger Sub. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by each of Parent and Merger Sub and constitutes
a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent and Merger Sub, enforceable
against Parent and Merger Sub in accordance with its terms except as enforcement
may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws affecting
creditor’s rights generally or by legal principles of general applicability
governing the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) Parent
has delivered to the Company a true and complete copy of its audited financial
statements as of and for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2004, 2005 and
2006, (the “Parent
Financial Statements”).
The
Parent Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the
financial condition of the Company as of the date thereof and the results of
its
operations for the periods then ended. The Parent Financial Statements have
been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied
on
a consistent basis (except as may be indicated therein or in the notes thereto
and except for the absence of footnotes, in the case of unaudited financial
statements). Merger Sub has no financial statements because it was recently
formed solely for the purpose of effectuating the Merger and it has been, is
and
will remain inactive except for purposes of the Merger, and it has no assets,
liabilities, contracts or obligations of any kind other than as incurred in
the
ordinary course of business in connection with its incorporation in Delaware.
Parent has no subsidiaries (other than Merger Sub) or affiliates and does not
have any direct or indirect equity participation or similar interest in any
corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, trust or
other business. Merger Sub has no subsidiaries or affiliates (other than Parent)
and does not have any direct or indirect equity participation or similar
interest in any corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint
venture, trust or other business.

of the Parent or Merger Sub (financial or otherwise).
11
(e) Neither
Parent nor Merger Sub is a party to, or the subject of, any pending litigation,
claims, or governmental investigation or proceeding not reflected in the Parent
Financial Statements, and to the knowledge of any Principal Shareholder, Parent

respects with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange

fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements (including,
in
each case, any notes thereto) of Parent included in the Parent SEC Documents

therein or in the notes thereto) and fairly presented in all material respects
the financial position of Parent as of the respective dates thereof and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods then ended
(subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit
adjustments and to any other adjustments described therein).

officer or affiliate or former employee, director, officer or affiliate of
Parent, (b) increase any benefits otherwise payable to any person or entity,

to its business, operations, financial condition, prospects or otherwise. For
purposes of this Section 0,
“material” means payment or performance of a contract, commitment, arrangement
or understanding which is expected to involve payments in excess of
$2,000.
(s) Assuming
the consent of the stockholders of Parent is obtained, and assuming appropriate
filings and mailings are made by Parent under the Securities Act, the Exchange
Act, with the NASD, and with the Secretary of State of Delaware, the execution
and delivery by Parent of this Agreement and the closing documents and the
consummation by Parent of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will
not (i) require the consent, approval or action of, or any filing or notice
to,
any corporation, firm, person or other entity or any public, governmental or
judicial authority (except for such consents, approvals, actions, filing or
notices the failure of which to make or obtain will not in the aggregate have
a
material adverse effect); (ii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree,
judgment, ruling, law, rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority
applicable to Parent, or its business or assets; (iii) constitute a material
breach of any agreement, indenture, mortgage, license or other instrument or
document to which Parent, Merger Sub or any Principal Shareholder is a party
or
to which any of them is otherwise subject; and (iv) violate or conflict with
any
provision of the respective Articles of Incorporation or Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of either Parent or Merger Sub. To the knowledge of
officers of Parent, Parent is not subject to, or a party to, any mortgage,
lien,
lease, agreement, contract, instrument, order, judgment or decree or any other
material restriction of any kind or character which would prevent, hinder,
restrict or impair the continued operation of the business of the Company after
the Closing.
(t) Parent
has provided to the Company and accurate and complete list of all of its current
employees, consultants or independent contractors. Parent is not a party to
or

of
employment. As of the Closing, the Parent will not have any employees,
consultants or independent contractors, other than its attorneys and
accountants. There are no labor disputes, grievances or requests for
arbitration. Parent has no pension, retirement, savings, profit sharing,
stock-based, incentive compensation or other similar employee benefit
plan.
15
(u) Except
as
filed as exhibits to the Parent SEC Documents, Parent has no “material
contracts” (as defined in Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-B of the SEC) to which
it is a party. Parent is not a party to or bound by any contract which would
prohibit or materially delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement. All of the Parent’s “material contracts” are in good
standing, valid and effective in accordance with their respective terms, and
neither Parent nor any other party to a “material contract” of Parent has
violated any provision of, or committed or failed to perform any act which,
with
or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a default under
the
provisions of, any such “material contract.”
(v) Except
as
set forth in the Parent SEC Documents or as set forth on Schedule 0
attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference, there are no liabilities
(including, but not limited to, tax liabilities), obligations or claims (whether
such liabilities or claims are contingent or absolute, direct or indirect,
and
matured or unmatured) (collectively, “Liabilities”)
of
Parent, and there is no existing condition, situation or set of circumstances
which could reasonably be expected to result in a Liability.
(w) Parent
is
in compliance with the requirements of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 applicable
to it as of the date of this Agreement. Parent maintains a system of internal
accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i)
transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific
authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit
preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain
asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance
with management’s general or specific authorization, and (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable
intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
Parent has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in
Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) for Parent and designed such
disclosures controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating
to Parent, is made known to the certifying officers by others within Parent,
particularly during the period in which Parent’s Form 10-KSB or 10-QSB, as the
case may be, is being prepared. Parent’s certifying officers have evaluated the
effectiveness of Parent’s controls and procedures as of the date of its most
recently filed periodic report (such date, the “Evaluation
Date”).
Parent presented in its most recently filed periodic report the conclusions
of
the certifying officers about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls
and
procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date. Since the
Evaluation Date, there have been no significant changes in Parent’s internal
control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) or in other factors that could significantly affect
Parent’s internal control over financial reporting. Parent’s auditors, at all
relevant times, have been duly registered in good standing with the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board.
(x) There
are
no legal, administrative, arbitral or other proceedings, claims, suits, actions
or governmental investigations of any nature pending, or to Parent’s knowledge
threatened, directly or indirectly involving Parent’s officers, directors or
affiliates, including, but not limited to any stockholder claims or derivative
actions, or challenging the validity or propriety of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.

has not been waived that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would result
in
a default by Parent under), nor has Parent received notice of a claim that
it is
in default under or that it is in violation of, any indenture, mortgage, deed
of
trust or other agreement, instrument or contract to which Parent is a party
or
by which it or any of its assets or properties are bound (whether or not such
default or violation has been waived), (ii) is not in violation of any order
of
any court, arbitrator or governmental body, (iii) is not and has not been in
violation of any law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction, judgment or
decree of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Parent or any
of
its business or properties, including federal and state securities laws and
regulations and (iv) is not in violation of any of its Permits.
(z) There
are
no disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated
by

will incur additional accounting and legal fees prior to the Closing, which
are
not expected to exceed $40,000.

does not have a class of securities that are registered under Section 12 of
the
Exchange Act, and is not subject to Sections 14(a), 14(c) and 14(f) of the
Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of
the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. There is no current

9. Actions
Prior to Closing.
(a) Prior
to
the Closing, the Company on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub on the
other
hand, shall be entitled to make such investigations of the assets, properties,
business and operations of the other party, and to examine the books, records,
tax returns, financial statements and other materials of the other party as
such
investigating party deems necessary in connection with this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby. Any such investigation and examination shall
be conducted at reasonable times and under reasonable circumstances, and the
parties hereto shall cooperate fully therein. Until the Closing, and if the
Closing shall not occur, thereafter, each party shall keep confidential and
shall not use in any manner inconsistent with the transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement, and shall not disclose, nor use for their own benefit, any
information or documents obtained from the other party concerning the assets,
properties, business and operations of such party, unless such information
(i)
is readily ascertainable from public or published information, (ii) is received
from a third party not under any obligation to keep such information
confidential, or (iii) is required to be disclosed by any law or order (in
which
case the disclosing party shall promptly provide notice thereof to the other
party in order to enable the other party to seek a protective order or to
otherwise prevent such disclosure). If this transaction is not consummated
for
any reason, each party shall return to the other all such confidential
information, including notes and compilations thereof, promptly after the date
of such termination. The representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of the fact that
either party hereto discovered or should have discovered any representation
or
warranty is or might be inaccurate in any respect.
(b) Prior
to
the Closing, the Company, Parent, Merger Sub, and each Principal Shareholder
agree not to issue any statement or communications to the public or the press
regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other parties. In the event that Parent is required
under
federal securities law to either (i) file any document with the SEC that
discloses this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, or (ii) to
make a public announcement regarding this Agreement or the transactions
contemplated hereby, Parent shall provide the Company with a copy of the
proposed disclosure no less than 48 hours before such disclosure is made and
shall incorporate into such disclosure any reasonable comments or changes that
the Company may request.
(c) Prior
to
the Closing, except as contemplated by this Agreement, there shall be no stock
dividend, stock split, recapitalization, or exchange of shares with respect
to
or rights, options or warrants issued in respect of Parent Common Stock after
the date hereof and there shall be no dividends or other distributions paid
on
Parent Common Stock after the date hereof, in each case through and including
the Closing. Parent and Merger Sub shall conduct no business, prior to the
Closing, other than in the ordinary course of business or as may be necessary
in
order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Prior to the Closing,
neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall take any action or enter into any agreement
to issue or sell any shares of capital stock of Parent or Merger Sub or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of
capital stock of Parent or Merger Sub or to repurchase, redeem or otherwise
acquire any of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Parent or Merger
Sub,
without the prior written consent of the Company.
19
(d) Prior
to
the Closing, Parent will timely file all required Parent SEC Documents and
comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act,
the
Exchange Act, the NASD rules and regulations and state and regional securities
laws and regulations.
(e) Prior
to
the Closing, if requested by the Company, Parent shall adopt a new stock option
plan in the manner requested by the Company.
(f) Prior
to
the Closing, Parent and each Principal Shareholder shall take such actions
as
shall be necessary to cause the assignment to a newly formed corporation or
any
other third party (the “Transferee”)
of all
of the assets of Parent (the “Parent
Assets”)
and
all of the Liabilities of Parent (net of the Retained Liabilities (as defined
hereinafter) the “Parent
Liabilities”),
upon
terms and conditions acceptable to the Company (the “Disposition”);
provided, however, that Parent may retain up to $75,000 in Parent Liabilities
owed to third parties other than the Principal Shareholders that are set forth
in reasonable detail in writing and delivered to the Company on or before three
business days before the closing of the Disposition and are approved by the
Company, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (the “Retained
Parent Liabilities”).
The
Parent Assets will be the sole consideration for the assumption by Transferee
of
the Parent Liabilities, and no consideration other than the assignment of the
Parent Assets and the assumption of the Parent Liabilities will be paid by
either party; however, to the extent the Parent Assets exceed the Parent
Liabilities, the cash value of such excess will be retained by Parent. The
Retained Parent Liabilities shall be retained by Surviving Corporation and
paid
promptly following the closing of the Equity Financing.
(g) Prior
to
the Closing, except with respect to the Disposition, Parent and Merger Sub
shall
conduct their business only in the usual and ordinary course and the character
of such business shall not be changed nor shall any different business be
undertaken. Prior to the Closing, except as contemplated hereby, Parent and
Merger Sub shall not incur any Liabilities without the prior written consent
of
the Company, except for Liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business,
which Liabilities, other than the Retained Liabilities, shall be assigned to
Transferee pursuant to the Disposition.
(h) Prior
to
the Closing, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to receive
subscriptions from investors to purchase at least $5,000,000 of shares of the
common stock of the Surviving Corporation in an equity financing to be closed
immediately following the Effective Time (the “Equity
Financing”).
(i) Prior
to
the Closing, Parent and each Principal Shareholder shall take such actions
as
shall be necessary to consummate a reverse split of the Parent Common Stock
such
that as of the Effective Time the sum of the number of shares of capital stock
of Parent issued and outstanding (without giving effect to the issuance of
Parent Common Stock pursuant to the Merger) and the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon exercise of the ACAP Share Obligation shall equal the Parent
Company Share Number (the “Recapitalization”).
20
(j) Prior
to
the Closing, Parent and each Principal Shareholder shall take such action as
shall be necessary to change the jurisdiction of incorporation of Parent to
Delaware and to adopt the certificate of incorporation and bylaws set forth
in
Exhibit
C
and
Exhibit
D,
respectively (the “Reincorporation”)
and to
change its fiscal year end to December 31 (the “Fiscal
Year Change”).
(k) Prior
to
the Closing, Parent and each Principal Shareholder shall take such action as
shall be necessary to change the name of Parent to “InterPath Holdings, Inc.”
(the “Name
Change”).
If
this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 0,
Parent
agrees to change its name back to “Xxxxx Golf Co. Corporation” or to such other
name as authorized by the Company promptly following such
termination.
(l) Parent
will, as promptly as practicable following the execution of this Agreement,
call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders for
the
purpose of approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement,
including the Recapitalization, the Disposition, the Name Change, the Fiscal
Year Change, the Reincorporation, the election of the Company’s nominees to the
Board of Directors of Parent and all matters outlined or contemplated herein,
or
obtain the unanimous written consent of its shareholders for the same
aforementioned purpose. Until the earlier of the Effective Time or the date
on
which this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 0,
at
every meeting of the shareholders of Parent called with respect to any of
the
following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every
action
or approval by written consent or resolution of the shareholders of Parent
with
respect to any of the following, each Principal Shareholder and each Voting
Party shall vote any and all of such Principal Shareholder’s Shares (a) in favor
of the adoption of this Agreement, the Recapitalization, the Disposition,
the
Name Change, the Fiscal Year Change, the Reincorporation, the election of
the
Company’s nominees to the Board of Directors of Parent and any matter that could
reasonably be expected to facilitate the Merger; (b) against any action
that
would reasonably be expected to: (i) preclude fulfillment of a condition
precedent under this Agreement to the Company’s or Parent’s obligation to
consummate the Merger, or (ii) impede, interfere with, delay or postpone
or
adversely affect the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated
by
this Agreement; and (c) against any: (i) purchase from Parent or any
acquisition by any person of more than a 15% interest in the total outstanding
voting securities of Parent or any tender offer or exchange offer that if
consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 15% or more of
the
total outstanding voting securities of Parent or any merger, consolidation,
business combination or similar transaction involving Parent, (ii) any sale,
lease, mortgage, pledge, exchange, transfer, license, acquisition, or
disposition of any significant portion of the assets of Parent in any single
transaction or series of related transactions (other than in the ordinary
course
of business consistent with past practice), or (iii) any liquidation or
dissolution of Parent, or any extraordinary dividend, whether of cash or

which any party may receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the representations
and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate
on, and no claim or action with respect thereto may be brought after, the date
that is 270 days after the Effective Date (the (“Expiration
Date”),
except that the representations and warranties contained in Section 0
of this
Agreement and
breaches of representations, warranties and covenants arising out of or related
to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of the Principal Shareholders, Parent
or Merger Sub shall survive indefinitely. The representations and warranties
which terminate on the Expiration Date, and the liability of any party with
respect thereto pursuant to this Section 0,
shall
not terminate with respect to any claim, whether or not fixed as to liability
or
liquidated as to amount, with respect to which the appropriate party has been
given written notice setting forth the facts upon which the claim for
indemnification is based prior to the third anniversary of the Effective Date,
as the case may be.
26
(a) Subject
to the provisions of this Section 0,
each of
the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub (collectively, the
“Indemnifying
Parties”)
shall
severally, and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the
Company’s past, present and future officers, directors, stockholders, employees,
attorneys, and agents (and after the Closing, the Principal Shareholder shall
also indemnify Parent) (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”)
from
and against any Losses (as defined hereinafter) including, without limitation,
any reasonable legal expenses to the extent arising from, relating to or
otherwise in respect of (i) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation
or
warranty of the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub contained in
Sections 0,
0
or
0
of this
Agreement (as of the date hereof, or as of the Closing) or of any
representation, warranty or statement made in any schedule, certificate,
document or instrument delivered by the Principal Shareholders, Parent and
Merger Sub or any officer of any of them at or in connection with the Closing,
in each case without giving effect to any materiality qualification (including
qualifications indicating accuracy in all material respects), (ii) the breach
by
the Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub, of or failure by the
Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub to perform any of their respective
covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement, or (iii) any Liabilities
of
Parent, other than the Retained Liabilities. Each Indemnifying Party
specifically acknowledges and agrees that any Indemnified Party may proceed
against any Indemnifying Party under this Section 0
without
contemporaneously, or at any time, proceeding against any other Indemnifying
Party. As used herein, “Losses”
shall
mean any and all demands, claims, complaints, actions or causes of action,
suits, proceedings, investigations, arbitrations, assessments, losses, damages,
payments, liabilities or obligations (including those arising out of any action,
such as any settlement or compromise thereof or judgment or award therein)
and
any fees, costs and expenses related thereto, and the term “legal
expenses”
shall
mean the fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by any party indemnified
herein and its counsel in investigating, preparing for, defending against or
providing evidence, producing documents or taking other action with respect
to
any threatened or asserted claim.
(b) The
procedure for satisfaction of claims from the Escrow Shares is set forth in
the
Escrow Agreement; and in the event that the Escrow Shares have been exhausted,
the procedure for satisfaction of claims is as follows: In order for an
Indemnified Party to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under
this
Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of its claim for
indemnification with reasonable promptness after determining to make such claim,
to any one or more Indemnifying Parties. The failure by any Indemnified Party
so
to notify any one or more of the Indemnifying Parties shall not relieve any
relevant Indemnifying Party from any liability which he or it may have to such
Indemnified Party under this Agreement, except to the extent that such claim
for
indemnification involves the claim of a third party against the Indemnified
Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced by such
failure. If an Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within
30 calendar days following receipt by it of such notice that such Indemnifying
Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Agreement,
such
claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively
deemed a liability of such Indemnifying Party under this Agreement and such
Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified
Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim
(or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of
such claim (or such portion thereof) becomes finally determined.
27
If
an
Indemnifying Party has timely disputed its liability with respect to such claim,
as provided above, such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall
proceed in good faith to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not
resolved through negotiations, such dispute shall be resolved by litigation
in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(c) With
respect to third party claims:
(i) If
the
claim involves a third party claim (a “Third
Party Claim”),
then
the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole cost, expense and
ultimate liability regardless of the outcome, and through counsel of its choice
(which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party),
to
litigate, defend, settle or otherwise attempt to resolve such Third Party Claim;
provided, however, that if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment a
conflict of interest may exist between the Indemnified Party and the
Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified
Party shall be entitled to select counsel of its own choosing, reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party, in which event the Indemnifying Party
shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of such counsel.
(ii) Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, if in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment no
such conflict exists, the Indemnified Party may, but will not be obligated
to,
participate at its own expense in a defense of such Third Party Claim by counsel
of its own choosing, but the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to control
the
defense unless (A) in the case where only money damages are sought, the
Indemnified Party has relieved the Indemnifying Party from liability with
respect to the particular matter or (B) in the case where equitable relief
is
sought, the Indemnified Party elects to participate in and jointly control
the
defense thereof.
(iii) Whenever
the Indemnifying Party controls the defense of a Third Party Claim, the
Indemnifying Party may only settle or compromise the matter subject to
indemnification without the consent of the Indemnified Party if such settlement
includes a complete release of all Indemnified Parties as to the matters in
dispute and relates solely to money damages. The Indemnified Party will not
unreasonably withhold consent to any settlement or compromise that requires
its
consent.
(iv) In
the
event the Indemnifying Party fails to timely defend, contest, or otherwise
protect the Indemnified Party against any such claim or suit, the Indemnified
Party may, but will not be obligated to, defend, contest, or otherwise protect
against the same, and make any compromise or settlement thereof, and in such
event, or in the case where the Indemnified Party jointly controls such claim
or
suit, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to recover its costs thereof
from
the Indemnifying Party, including attorneys’ fees, disbursements and all amounts
paid as a result of such claim or suit or the compromise or settlement
thereof.
28
(v) The
Indemnified Party shall cooperate and provide such assistance as the
Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with the defense of
the
matter subject to indemnification and in connection with recovering from any
third parties amounts that the Indemnifying Party may pay or be required to
pay
by way of indemnification hereunder.
(d) The
amount of Losses for which indemnification is provided hereunder shall be
computed without regard to any insurance recovery related to such
losses.
(e) Delivery
of the Escrow Shares shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Indemnified
Parties for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants of the
Principal Shareholders, Parent and Merger Sub under this Agreement, other than
with respect to breaches of representations and warranties contained in
Section 0
of this
Agreement, and any breaches of representations, warranties and covenants arising
out of or related to the fraud or willful misconduct of any of the Principal
Shareholders, Parent or Merger Sub.
