11. Reservation of Shares; Listing.
(a) Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, PubCo shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, no less than 150% of the maximum number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of all the Warrants then outstanding (without regard to any limitations on the exercise of the Warrants set forth therein) (collectively, the “Required Reserve Amount”); provided, that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to this Section 11(a) be reduced other than proportionally in connection with any exercise and/or redemption of Warrants. If at any time the number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved for issuance is not sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount, PubCo will promptly take all corporate action necessary to authorize and reserve a sufficient number of shares, including, without limitation, calling a special meeting of stockholders to authorize additional shares to meet PubCo's obligations pursuant to the Exchange Documents, in the case of an insufficient number of authorized shares, obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of shares, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the holders of the management shares of PubCo to vote in favor of an increase in the authorized shares of PubCo to ensure that the number of authorized shares is sufficient to meet the Required Reserved Amount.

After the Closing Time, (x) PubCo shall promptly secure the listing or designation for quotation (as applicable) of all of the Underlying Securities upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed or designated for quotation (as applicable) (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing or designation for quotation (as applicable) of all the Underlying Securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Exchange Documents, (y) PubCo shall maintain the Common Stock’s authorization for quotation on the Principal Market or secure its listing on The New York Stock Exchange, the NYSE MKT, the Nasdaq Capital Market, the Nasdaq Global Market or the Nasdaq Global Select Market (each, an “Eligible Market”) and (y) neither PubCo nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the deauthorization, delisting or suspension of the Common Stock on an Eligible Market on which the Common Stock is quoted or listed. PubCo shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 11.

All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.

(i) Subject to Section 16(l), in consideration of the Investor’s execution and delivery of the Exchange Documents to which it is a party and consummating the acquisition of the Purchased Shares, in addition to all of Merger Parties’ (collectively, the “Indemnifying Parties”) other obligations under the Exchange Documents, each of the Indemnifying Parties, joint and severally, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and its successors and assigns and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (x) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by any Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee in this Agreement or the Warrants, (y) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of any Indemnifying Party to the Indemnitee contained in this Agreement or the Warrants or (z) any cause of action, suit, proceeding or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of any Indemnifying Party) or which otherwise involves such Indemnitee that arises out of or results from (A) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, (B) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Company Preferred B Shares, or (C) the status of the Investor or its successors or assigns either as an investor in an Indemnifying Party pursuant to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or as a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, as a party in interest or otherwise in any action or proceeding for injunctive or other equitable relief); but excluding for purposes of this clause (z), any actions, suits, proceedings or claims arising solely out of or relating to the Investor’s breach of this Agreement or any other Exchange Document to which Investor is a party or otherwise bound. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by an Indemnifying Party may be unenforceable for any reason, such Indemnifying Party shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
16 |
(ii) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee under this Section 16(k) of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving an Indemnified Liability, such Indemnitee shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any Indemnifying Party under this Section 16(k), deliver to the applicable Indemnifying Party a written notice of the commencement thereof, and such Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent such Indemnifying Party so desires, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to such Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee; provided, however, that an Indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if: (A) such Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (B) such Indemnifying Party shall have failed to promptly assume the defense of such Indemnified Liability and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnitee in any such Indemnified Liability; or (C) the named parties to any such Indemnified Liability (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party, and such Indemnitee shall have been advised by outside counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnitee and such Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnitee notifies such Indemnifying Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of such Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense thereof and such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party), provided further, that in the case of clause (C) above such Indemnifying Party shall not be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one (1) separate legal counsel for the Indemnitees. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with each applicable Indemnifying Party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Indemnified Liability by such Indemnifying Party and shall furnish to such Indemnifying Party all information reasonably available to the Indemnitee which relates to such action or Indemnified Liability. Each of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee shall keep the other reasonably apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding, or the Indemnitee’s consent to any judgment, effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that such Indemnifying Party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnitee of a release from all liability in respect to such Indemnified Liability or litigation, and such settlement shall not include any admission as to fault on the part of the Indemnitee. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, each applicable Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the an Indemnifying Party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party of any liability to the Indemnitee under this Section 16(k), except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely prejudiced in its ability to defend such action.
17 |
(iii) The indemnification required by this Section 16(k) shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, within ten (10) days after bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred.
(iv) The indemnity agreement contained herein shall be in addition to (A) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnitee against any Indemnifying Party or others, and (B) any liabilities such Indemnifying Party may be subject to pursuant to the law.
(l) Trust Fund Waiver. Reference is made to the final prospectus of Chart dated December 13, 2012 (File No. 333-177280) (the “Prospectus”) relating to Chart’s initial public offering (the “IPO”). The Investor represents and warrants that the Investor has read the Prospectus and understands that Chart has established the Trust Fund (as defined in the Merger Agreement) containing the proceeds of the IPO initially in the amount of at least Seventy-Five Million Dollars ($75,000,000) for the benefit of Chart’s public stockholders and certain other parties (including the underwriters of the IPO) and that Chart may disburse monies from the Trust Fund, including any proceeds therefrom, only as provided in the Prospectus. For and in consideration of Chart agreeing to enter into this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Investor agrees (for itself and on behalf of its affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries and equity holders, and its and their respective successors and assigns, and any other Indemnitee or other Person claiming by or through the Investor) that, notwithstanding any provisions contained in this Agreement, the Investor does not now have, and shall not at any time prior to the Closing Time have, any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to, or make any claim against, the Trust Fund or any asset contained therein (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior to the Closing Time in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements (as defined in the Merger Agreement)), regardless of whether such claim arises as a result of, in connection with or relating in any way to, any proposed or actual business relationship between the Investor, on the one hand, and Chart or its subsidiaries, on the other hand, this Agreement, any other Exchange Document or any other agreement or any other matter, and regardless of whether such claim arises based on contract, tort, equity or any other theory of legal liability. The Investor (for itself and on behalf of its affiliates and direct and indirect subsidiaries and equity holders, and its and their respective successors and assigns, and any other Indemnitee or other Person claiming by or through Investor) hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights, titles, interests and claims of any kind that the Investor may have, now or in the future (in each case, however, prior to the Closing Time), and shall not take any action or suit, make any claim or demand or seek recovery of any liability, indebtedness, guaranty, endorsement, claim, loss, damage, deficiency, cost, expense, obligation or other recourse against, the Trust Fund (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior to the Closing Time in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements) for any reason whatsoever in respect thereof. The Investor agrees and acknowledges that such irrevocable waiver is material to this Agreement and specifically relied upon by Chart and its affiliates to induce them to enter into this Agreement. Investor further intends and understands such waiver to be valid, binding and enforceable under applicable law. To the extent that the Investor commences any action, litigation or other legal proceeding (a “Proceeding”) based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Chart, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, monetary relief against Chart, the Investor hereby acknowledges and agrees the Investor’s sole remedy shall be against funds held outside of the Trust Fund and that such claim shall not permit the Investor (or any party claiming on the Investor’s behalf or in lieu of the Investor) to have any claim against the Trust Fund or any amounts contained therein (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements). In the event that the Investor commences any Proceeding based upon, in connection with, relating to or arising out of any matter relating to Chart, which Proceeding seeks, in whole or in part, relief against the Trust Fund (or any distribution therefrom occurring prior to the Closing in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreements) or Chart’s public stockholders, whether in the form of money damages or injunctive relief, Chart shall be entitled to recover from the Investor the associated legal fees and costs in connection with any such Proceeding in the event Chart prevails in such action or Proceeding. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 16(l) shall affect the right of the Investor or its direct or indirect subsidiaries or equity holders, or its or their respective successors or assigns, or any other Indemnitee or other Person claiming by or through the Investor, to redeem any issued and outstanding securities of Chart held by such Person in accordance with the Prospectus and Chart’s certificate of incorporation, as amended.
18 |
(m) Most Favored Nation. Each Merger Party hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Person (other than the New Investors pursuant to the New Investor Exchange Agreements) with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement or waiver, in each case, relating to the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Superior Document”), is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of the Investor and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, any Merger Party enters into a Superior Document, then (i) such applicable party shall provide notice thereof to the Investor immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Investor or any other party hereto, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Investor shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Superior Document, provided that upon written notice to each other party hereto at any time the Investor may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Investor as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Investor. The provisions of this Section 16(m) shall apply similarly and equally to each Superior Document.
19 |
(n) Independent Nature of Investor’s Obligations and Rights. The obligations of the Investor under this Agreement or the other Exchange Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Person, including, without limitation, any of the Other Affiliate Investors (each, an “Other Person”), and the Investor shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Person under any other Exchange Document, the Other Affiliate Investor Purchase Agreements or similar agreement of any Other Person (the “Other Documents”). Nothing contained herein or in any Other Document or any other Exchange Document, and no action taken by the Investor pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investor and such Other Persons as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investor and Other Person are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Other Documents or any other Exchange Document and each of the Merger Parties acknowledge that neither the Investor nor any Other Person are acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any Other Document and any other Exchange Document. The Merger Parties and the Investor confirm that the Investor has independently participated in the negotiation of the transactions contemplated hereby with the advice of its own counsel and advisors. The Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement, any Other Document or out of any other Exchange Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any Other Person to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
