(a)
The aggregate merger consideration payable by ILOG, Inc. in the Merger shall be Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Dollars ($15,200,000.00) (the “Aggregate Merger Consideration”), payable in the form of (i) Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Dollars ($10,200,000.00) in cash (the “Cash Consideration”) and (ii) Five Million United States Dollars ($5,000,000.00) of ordinary shares of ILOG (the “Ordinary Shares”), valued in United States Dollars by reference to the average closing sales prices of the American Depositary Receipts of ILOG on the NASDAQ Global Select Market for the 30 trading days prior to the Closing Date (the “Share Consideration”). The “Per Share Merger Consideration” shall mean the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the Aggregate Merger Consideration by (ii) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. The Aggregate Merger Consideration, including the portion thereof comprising the Cash Consideration and the Share Consideration, and the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2; provided, however, that all adjustments to the Aggregate Merger Consideration and the Per Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.2(e) or (i) below shall be made to the Cash Consideration and shall be payable solely in the form of cash; provided, further, that no fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued and the holders of Company Capital Stock entitled to receive Share Consideration shall receive Cash Consideration in lieu of any fractional Ordinary Shares.
(b)
The Ordinary Shares will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and will be sold pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Ordinary Shares may not be offered or resold unless registered under the Securities Act, or subject to an exemption therefrom, including Regulation S promulgated thereunder.
(c)
The Ordinary Shares will not be issued to a holder of Company Capital Stock who is not an Accredited Investor (within the meaning of Section 501(a) of the Securities Act) and holders of Company Capital Stock who are not Accredited Investors will receive the Per Share Merger Consideration allocable to their shares of Company Capital Stock only in the form of Cash Consideration instead of a combination of the Cash Consideration and the Share Consideration. The Cash Consideration shall be adjusted up to a maximum of Ten Million, Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars ($10,950,000.00) and the Share Consideration shall be adjusted proportionately down to a minimum of Four Million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars ($4,250,000.00), to the extent necessary, for payment of the Per Share Merger Consideration allocable to each share of Company Capital
5
Stock held as of the Effective Time by holders of Company Capital Stock who are not Accredited Investors. Thereafter, the payment of any additional Per Share Merger Consideration allocable to shares of Company Capital Stock held as of the Effective Time by holders of Company Capital Stock who are not Accredited Investors in the form of Cash Consideration shall reduce the Per Share Merger Consideration, payable in the form of Cash Consideration, allocable to each share of Company Capital Stock held as of the Effective Time by holders of Company Capital Stock who are Accredited Investors that have delivered an Accredited Investor Letter and a Lock-Up Agreement as provided herein. In no event shall the Aggregate Merger Consideration exceed Fifteen Million, Two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($15,200,000.00), except as provided in Sections 2.2(e) or (i) below.
(d)
Prior the Closing Date, ILOG, Inc. and Stockholders’ Representative shall work together to prepare an estimated consolidated balance sheet of the Company, including all notes thereto (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet“), dated as of the Closing Date or such other date as reasonably in advance of the Closing Date as practically possible as shall be agreed to by the Stockholders’ Representative and ILOG, Inc. (the “Estimated Closing Balance Sheet Date”). The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall be based on the books and records of the Company, shall be calculated on the accrual method of tax and financial accounting and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to such differences in accounting principles, policies and procedures as are set forth in Schedule 2.2(d); provided that no purchase accounting adjustments in respect of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made. The Estimated Closing Balance Sheet shall present fairly the financial position of the Company as at the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet Date and all accruals as at the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet Date which, in accordance with GAAP calculated on the accrual basis of tax and financial accounting, should be reflected on a balance sheet, shall be reflected on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, including, without limitation, with respect to such items as accruals for all accrued or unpaid employee bonuses and commissions, profit-sharing plan contributions, promotional expenses and tax liabilities as if the Company had always been using the accrual method of tax and financial accounting. For purposes of this Agreement, “Estimated Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity” shall mean the total shareholders’ equity, as shown on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, but in computing Estimated Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity the following shall be disregarded: (i) any liabilities relating to fees and expenses of the Company in respect of the Transactions contemplated hereby that are paid directly by LogicTools Stockholders, and not by the Company, in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) any assets attributable to goodwill and other intangible assets or any deferred income taxes. If the Stockholders’ Representative and ILOG, Inc. are unable to agree on the Estimated Closing Balance Sheet, the parties shall submit such dispute to the Independent Accounting Firm in accordance with the procedures contained in Section 2.2(h) below.
(e)
The Aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration”) and the Per Share Merger Consideration (the “Estimated Per Share Merger Consideration”) payable as provided in Section 2.6 shall be adjusted, upwards or downwards, as follows:
(i)
if the Estimated Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(d) is greater than $1,500,000.00 (the “Upper Reference Amount”), the Estimated Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be adjusted
6
upwards form the Aggregate Merger Consideration in an amount equal to the difference between the Estimated Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity and the Upper Reference Amount (the “Estimated Upper Adjustment Amount”) and the Estimated Per Share Merger Consideration shall be adjusted upwards for the Per Share Merger Consideration in an amount (the “Estimated Per Share Upwards Merger Consideration Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Estimated Upper Adjustment Amount by (B) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time; and
(ii)
if the Estimated Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity as determined pursuant to Section 2.2(d) is less than $1,300,000 (the “Lower Reference Amount”), the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downwards from the Aggregate Merger Consideration in an amount equal to the difference between the Lower Reference Amount and the Estimated Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity (the “Estimated Lower Adjustment Amount”) and the Estimated Per Share Merger Consideration shall be adjusted downwards from the Per Share Merger Consideration in an amount (the “Estimated Per Share Downwards Merger Consideration Adjustment”) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the Estimated Lower Adjustment Amount by (B) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
(f)
Within 90 days after the Closing Date, ILOG, Inc. shall deliver to the Stockholders’ Representative a consolidated balance sheet of the Company, including all notes thereto, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Balance Sheet“). The Closing Balance Sheet shall be based on the books and records of the Company, shall be calculated on the accrual method of tax and financial accounting and shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, subject to such differences in accounting principles, policies and procedures as are set forth in Schedule 2.2(d); provided that no purchase accounting adjustments in respect of the Transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be made. The Closing Balance Sheet shall present fairly the financial position of the Company as at the Closing Date and all accruals as at the Closing Date which, in accordance with GAAP calculated on the accrual basis of tax and financial accounting, should be reflected on a balance sheet, shall be reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet, including, without limitation, with respect to such items as accruals for all accrual or unpaid employee bonuses and commissions, profit-sharing plan contributions, promotional expenses and tax liabilities as if the Company had always been using the accrued method of tax and financial accounting. For purposes of this Agreement, “Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity“ shall mean the total shareholders’ equity of the Company, as shown on the Closing Balance Sheet, but in computing Closing Consolidated Stockholders’ Equity the following shall be disregarded: (i) any liabilities relating to fees and expenses of the Company in respect of the Transactions contemplated hereby that are paid directly by LogicTools Stockholders, and not by the Company, in accordance with the terms hereof and (ii) any assets attributable to goodwill and other intangible assets or any deferred income taxes. The Company shall assist ILOG, Inc. and its auditors in the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet and shall provide ILOG, Inc. and its auditors reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the personnel, properties, books and records of the Company for such purpose.

The Closing Balance Sheet shall become final and binding on the 20th Business Day following delivery thereof, unless prior to the end of such period, the Stockholders’ Representative delivers to ILOG, Inc. written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”), specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item and accompanied by a certificate of the Company’s auditor stating that they concur with each of the positions taken by the Stockholders’ Representative in the Notice of Disagreement. The Stockholders’ Representative and ILOG, Inc. shall be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Closing Balance Sheet not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts shall not be subject to review in accordance with Section 2.2(h) below. Any Notice of Disagreement may reference only disagreements based on mathematical errors or based on amounts reflected on the Closing Balance Sheet not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.2.
(h)
During the ten (10) Business Day period following the delivery of a Notice of Disagreement by the Stockholders’ Representative to ILOG, Inc., the parties in good faith shall seek to resolve in writing any differences that they may have with respect to the matters specified therein.

Section 9.4.
Procedures.
(a)
In order for a party (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Agreement in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss or a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall deliver notice thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of the Third Party Claim and shall provide the Indemnifying party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant to this Section 9.
(b)
If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right (unless the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurances to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification with respect to such Proceeding), upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the fees and
58
expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense thereof or does not have the right to assume the defense of said Third Party Claim pursuant to the terms hereof. If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 9.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, (1) the Indemnifying Party shall not admit any liability with respect to, or settle, compromise or discharge, or offer to compromise, settle or discharge, such Third Party Claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written Consent and (2) the Indemnified Party shall Consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may recommend and that by its terms requires that the Indemnifying Party pay the full amount of the liability in connection therewith, that otherwise releases the Indemnified Party completely and with prejudice in connection with such Third Party Claim and that would not otherwise adversely affect the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim (and, in addition to any other Losses, shall be liable for the fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending such Third Party Claim) if the Third Party Claim seeks, among other things, an order, injunction or other equitable relief or relief for other than money damages against the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have the sole and exclusive right to settle any such Third Party Claim.
(i)
The indemnification required hereunder in respect of a Third Party Claim shall be made by prompt payment by the Indemnifying Party of the amount of actual Losses thereof, as and when bills are received by the Indemnifying Party or Losses incurred have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, together with interest on any amount not repaid as necessary to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party within five Business Days after receipt of notice therefor, from the date such Losses have been notified to the Indemnifying Party, at a rate of interest set forth in Section 2.2(j).
(c)
The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or a claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.
59
(d)
In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim against any Indemnifying Party hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall deliver notice of such claim within ten (10) Business Days to the Indemnifying Party. The failure to provide such notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or otherwise than pursuant to this Section 9. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within ten days following its receipt of such notice that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated to pay a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.
(e)
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 12.9 and Section 12.11, each Indemnifying Party hereby Consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which a Proceeding in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Proceeding or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.
Section 9.5.
Limitations on Indemnification Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement: (i) an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Dollars ($100,000.00) in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the full amount of such Losses from the first dollar thereof, and (ii) the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 9.2(a) or Section 9.3(a), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the Aggregate Merger Consideration as adjusted pursuant to Sections 2.2(e) and 2.2(i) hereof provided that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the untruth or Breach of any representation or warranty if such untruth or Breach is the result of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or intentional Breach, and, provided, further, that the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to the untruth or Breach of any representation or warranty made in any Core Representation (other than Sections 3.17, 3.18 (and the related representations and warranties in the Levi Certificate) and 3.19), the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses for which shall be an amount equal to the Cash Consideration plus, if the Cash Consideration is exhausted, to the extent required, the Share Consideration valued in United States Dollars by reference to the closing sales prices of the American Depositary Receipts of ILOG on the NASDAQ Global Select Market as of the date the claim is paid, it being understood that such payments shall first be made from the Cash Consideration.
60
Section 9.6.
Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge. No investigation conducted by or on behalf of any party at any time and no disclosure provided to or Knowledge of any party with respect to any event, condition or circumstance that renders inaccurate any representation or warranty or reveals the occurrence of a Breach of any covenant of any other party contained in this Agreement or any Transaction Document shall be deemed to be a waiver of, or to relieve such other party of any liability for, (i) the Breach of any such representation, warranty or covenant, (ii) the nonfulfillment of any of the conditions set forth in Section 8 or (iii) any rights to indemnification or other remedy arising in connection therewith. If the Transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each party hereby expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity or other remedy for any Losses arising out of or relating to any such Breach notwithstanding any investigation, disclosure or Knowledge as described herein, subject to any limitations on recovering as may otherwise be provided in Section 9.5.
Section 9.7.
Escrow.
(a)
Any amount due with respect to indemnification obligations under this Section 9 shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9, during the Escrow Period (as defined below) first through the release of such amount from the Escrow Deposit, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Escrow Agreement.
(b)
To the extent the Escrow Period has terminated, or the amount in the Escrow Account is not sufficient to satisfy the amount due referred to in paragraph (a) above in full, such amount due or any balance of the amount due, as applicable, shall be satisfied personally by the Voting Stockholders in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.
(c)
“Escrow Period” shall mean the period commencing on the Closing Date and continuing until the later of the two year anniversary of the Closing Date and the date when any claim made prior to the two year anniversary of the Closing Date is finally resolved.
Section 9.8.
Tax Matters. Anything in this Section 9 to the contrary notwithstanding, the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to indemnification for any and all Excluded Tax Liabilities shall be governed by Section 10.1(c).
Section 9.9.
No Contribution. The LogicTools Stockholders shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Surviving Corporation in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which such stockholders may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement, the Escrow Agreement or the Transaction Documents.
