(ii)           the amount of the following current liabilities of the Company Group as reflected on the face of a consolidated balance sheet of the Company Group as of the Closing Date:  Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses and Other (provided, that, for purposes of this definition, the following items shall be excluded from the current liabilities of the Company Group: Deferred Revenue; the current portion of Company Debt (referenced as Revolver on Annex I); Company Transaction Expenses; and the other adjustments to current liabilities reflected on Annex I).

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Working Capital (A) shall be determined in accordance with the calculation of the Working Capital as of November 30, 2009 attached hereto as Annex I; (B) shall entirely disregard any and all effects on the current assets or current liabilities of the Company Group directly related to the consummation of the Merger and the Transactions (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Working Capital as of the Closing Date will reflect the extinguishment and payment of accrued dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock in connection with the Merger; such accrued dividends will be paid in full in connection with the Merger out of the Merger Consideration and are included in the Series A Merger Consideration); (C) shall entirely disregard any and all effects on the current assets or current liabilities of the Company Group directly related to the financing or refinancing arrangements entered into at any time by or at the direction of Parent or Merger Sub; and (D) shall be determined in accordance with GAAP consistently applied using the accounting practices used to determine the sample calculation of Working Capital attached hereto as Annex I (to the extent not inconsistent with GAAP).

(v)            minus, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount if any by which the Working Capital is less than $5,000,000.00 (the “Working Capital Baseline”).  There shall be no increase in the Merger Consideration if the Working Capital is greater than the Working Capital

 

6



 

Baseline.  For example, (A) if the Working Capital is $2,000,000, the Merger Consideration will be reduced by $3,000,000, (B) if the Working Capital is ($1,000,000), the Merger Consideration will be reduced by $6,000,000, and (C) if the Working Capital is $6,000,000 there will be no adjustment to the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.6(v).

 

1.7        Escrow.  Of the Merger Consideration, ten percent (10%) of the Enterprise Value (the “Escrow Amount”) shall be deposited by Parent at the Closing, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Escrow Period”) for the purpose of satisfying indemnification claims pursuant to Section 9 hereof and for purposes of Section 1.9(e)(ii).  Each Escrow Participant shall contribute to the Escrow Amount in proportion to such Escrow Participant’s Pro Rata Share (relative to the total Pro Rata Shares of all Escrow Participants) and in the amount set forth on the Payout Spreadsheet (such amount, as to each Escrow Participant, is sometimes referred to herein as the “Escrow Contribution”).  Upon the expiration of the Escrow Period (or on such later date as is specified in the Escrow Agreement), the remaining balance of the Escrow Amount, if any, shall be distributed to the Stockholders’ Agent, on behalf of each Escrow Participant based on their respective Escrow Contributions, all in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.  For each Effective Time Holder (other than the Escrow Participants), such Effective Time Holder’s Escrow Contribution shall be zero (0).

 

1.8        Calculation and Payment of Estimated Merger Consideration.

 

(a)               Estimated Statement.  Not less than two (2) days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Parent a reasonably detailed statement (the “Estimated Statement”) containing (i) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of immediately prior to the Closing Date, (ii) the amount of the Company Debt based on payoff letters received from the lenders, and good faith estimates of Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash and Working Capital, and (iii) the Company’s calculation of the Merger Consideration (based on the amount of the Company Debt and the Company’s good faith estimates of the Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash and Working Capital) pursuant to Section 1.6(b) (the “Estimated Merger Consideration”).  The Estimated Statement shall be based upon the books and records of the Company Group and other information then available and shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent.

 

(b)           Payments At the Closing.  At the Closing:

 

(i)            Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Company Debt by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each of the applicable lenders;

 

(ii)           Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Company Transaction Expenses by wire transfer of immediately available funds to each of the applicable vendors;

 

(iii)         Parent shall deposit the Escrow Amount, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, into escrow pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement for the

purpose of satisfying indemnification claims pursuant to Section 9 and for purposes of Section 1.9(e)(ii);

 

(iv)          Parent or the Surviving Corporation shall pay the Fleischer Severance by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Mr. Fleischer, provided that Mr. Fleischer has executed and delivered a separation and mutual release agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H;

 

(v)            Parent shall pay the Stockholders’ Agent Retention Account to the Stockholders’ Agent in accordance with Section 11.1 hereof; and

 

(vi)          Parent shall pay to the individuals and entities listed on Exhibit I (the “Closing Date Payees”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to their applicable portion of the Estimated Merger Consideration (less any applicable Escrow Contribution and the Stockholders’ Agent Retention Account as set forth on Exhibit I).

 

1.9        Calculation and Payment of Final Purchase Price.

 

(a)               Within sixty (60) days following the Closing, the Surviving Corporation shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Agent its final determination of the Merger Consideration, including statements of the Company Debt, Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash and Working Capital (as revised or adjusted pursuant to Section 1.9(d), each, a “Final Statement” and collectively, the “Final Statements”), including such schedules and data as may be appropriate to support such calculations.  Upon receiving reasonable advance written notice, the Surviving Corporation shall provide the Stockholders’ Agent with full access to the applicable Records, employees and accountants of the Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries related to its review of the Final Statements, and the Surviving Corporation shall make available to the Stockholders’ Agent any working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to the Final Statements prepared by or on behalf of the Surviving Corporation to the extent reasonably requested by the Stockholders’ Agent during the dispute resolution periods described in this Section 1.9.

 

(b)               If the Stockholders’ Agent objects to the Surviving Corporation’s determination of the Company Debt, Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash or Working Capital, as reflected in the Final Statements, the Stockholders’ Agent shall notify the Surviving Corporation in writing of such objection(s) within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Final Statements from the Surviving Corporation (an “Objection Notice”).  The Objection Notice shall specify which Final Statement(s) are being disputed and describe in reasonable detail the basis for such disputes.

 

(c)               If the Stockholders’ Agent does not deliver an Objection Notice, then the Final Statements will be conclusive, final and binding in their entirety on all of the parties.  If the Stockholders’ Agent delivers an Objection Notice with respect to one or more Final Statements in accordance with Section 1.9(b), then (i) the Final Statement(s) not subject to the Objection Notice shall be conclusive, final and binding with respect to those items that are not objected to by the Stockholders’ Agent in the Objection Notice, (ii) the Stockholders’ Agent and the Surviving Corporation shall attempt to resolve such disputed items, and (iii) to the extent that

 

8



 

the Stockholders’ Agent and the Surviving Corporation are unable to resolve any such disputes, the items set forth in the Objection Notice shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.9(d) below.

 

(d)               In the event that the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Agent are unable to resolve the disputed items within forty-five (45) days after delivery of the Objection Notice, either the Surviving Corporation or the Stockholders’ Agent may demand that such disputed items be referred to an independent accounting firm that is mutually acceptable to the Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Agent to finally resolve such disputed items.  The independent accounting firm shall act as an arbitrator to determine only the disputed items, and the determination of each disputed item shall be within the range established by the Final Statements and the Objection Notice, if any.  The determination of such independent accounting firm shall be made as promptly as possible and shall be final and binding upon the parties.  Each party hereto shall be permitted to submit such data and information to such independent accounting firm as the parties deem appropriate.  The Surviving Corporation and the Stockholders’ Agent, on behalf of the Effective  Time Holders, shall each pay their own costs and expenses incurred under this Section 1.9(d).  All expenses and fees incurred in connection with the independent accounting firm shall be paid equally by the Surviving Corporation on one hand and the Stockholders’ Agent, on behalf of the Effective Time Holders, on the other hand.

 

(e)               The Company Debt, Company Transaction Expenses, Closing Cash and Working Capital as determined in accordance with this Section 1.9 shall be used to determine the final Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 1.6(b) (the “Final Merger Consideration”).  Once the Final Merger Consideration is determined in accordance with Section 1.6(b) and this Section 1.9, the following shall occur:

 

(i)            if the Final Merger Consideration exceeds the Estimated Merger Consideration, the Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to Parent in writing the Stockholders’ Agent’s determination of the portion of such difference payable to each Effective Time Holder pursuant to the Company Charter with respect to the shares of Company Capital Stock owned of record by such Effective Time Holder, and the Parent shall pay each Effective Time Holder entitled to receive a portion of such difference, within three (3) business days following delivery of such written notice, the amount set forth in such notice (provided that the aggregate amount payable to all Effective Time Holders pursuant to this Section 1.9(e)(i) shall not exceed the difference between the Final Merger Consideration and the Estimated Merger Consideration), by check or wire transfer to such Effective Time Holder; or

 

(ii)           if the Estimated Merger Consideration exceeds the Final Merger Consideration, the Escrow Agent shall pay or cause to be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated in writing by Parent from the Escrow Amount, within three (3) business days following delivery of such written notice, the amount set forth in such notice (provided that the aggregate amount payable to Parent shall not be less than the difference between the Estimated Merger Consideration and the Final Merger Consideration); and

 

(iii)         the Stockholders’ Agent shall revise the Payout Spreadsheet to reflect any changes to the amounts reflected thereon resulting from changes in the Final Merger

Consideration (as compared to the Estimated Merger Consideration), and shall provide such revised Payout Spreadsheet to Parent promptly (but in any event within three (3) business days) following the determination of the Final Merger Consideration.

 

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will the aggregate amount payable to the Effective Time Holders exceed the Final Merger Consideration.

 

1.10      Conversion of Shares.

 

(a)               Conversion.  Subject to Sections 1.13, 1.14 and 1.15, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any stockholder of the Company, each share of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive from Parent, following the surrender of the certificate representing such share of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 1.13, the following consideration:

The amount of cash, if any, that each stockholder of the Company is entitled to receive for the shares of Company Capital Stock held by such stockholder shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with $0.005 being rounded upward) and computed after aggregating the cash amounts payable for all shares of each class and series of Company Capital Stock held by such stockholder.

 

(b)               Adjustments. In the event that the Company, at any time or from time to time between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, declares or pays any dividend on Company Capital Stock payable in Company Capital Stock or in any right to acquire Company Capital Stock, or effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock into a greater number of shares of Company Capital Stock, or in the event the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock shall be combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Company Capital Stock, then the amounts payable in respect of shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to Section 1.10(a) shall be appropriately adjusted.

The cancellation of the Payout Options as provided in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed a release of any and all rights the holder thereof had or may have had in respect of such Payout Option.  The aggregate amount paid or payable in respect of the cancellation of the Payout Options as set forth in this Section 1.11(a) is referred to herein as the “Option Consideration.”

The Company Option Plan shall terminate as of the Effective Time and the provisions in any other plan, program or arrangement providing for the issuance or grant of any other interest in respect of the Company Capital Stock (or any capital stock of any Subsidiary of the Company) shall be canceled as of the Effective Time.  The Company shall ensure that following the Effective Time no participant in the Company Option Plan or other plans, programs or arrangements shall have any right thereunder to acquire any equity securities of the Company, the Surviving Corporation or any Subsidiary thereof.

Payees): (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form and containing such provisions as Parent may reasonably specify, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Company Stock Certificates in exchange for payment of the Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration relating thereto.  Upon surrender of a Company Stock Certificate to Parent for exchange, together with a duly executed letter of transmittal and such other documents as may be reasonably required by Parent, the holder of such Company Stock Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor payment of an amount equal to the Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration for the class of Company Capital Stock represented by such Company Stock Certificate multiplied by the number of shares represented by such Company Stock Certificate, and the Company Stock Certificate so surrendered shall be canceled.  Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.13, each Company Stock Certificate shall be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration applicable thereto.  If any Company Stock Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Parent may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Company Stock Certificate to provide an appropriate affidavit and to deliver a bond (in such sum as Parent may reasonably direct) as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent or the Surviving Corporation with respect to such Company Stock Certificate.

 

1.14      Withholding Rights.  Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Effective Time Holder an amount not in excess of the amount it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the payment of such consideration under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax or other Legal Requirement.  To the extent that amounts are so withheld by or on behalf of Parent, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Effective Time Holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

 

1.15      Dissenting Shares.

 

(a)               Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and that are held by stockholders of the Company who shall have not voted in favor of the Merger or consented thereto in writing and who shall have properly demanded appraisal for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (collectively, the “Dissenting Shares”) shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration.  Such stockholders instead shall be entitled to receive payment from the Company of the appraised value of such shares of Company Common Stock held by them in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL.

 

(b)               Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.15(a), if any holder of Dissenting Shares shall effectively withdraw or lose (through failure to perfect or otherwise) his or her appraisal rights, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares of Company Capital Stock shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive the consideration for Company Capital Stock to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled under Section 1.10, without interest thereon, upon surrender of the certificate representing such shares.

 

12



 

(c)               Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Company (i) is required by applicable Legal Requirements to make any per share payment or payments in respect of Dissenting Shares in excess of the Applicable Per Share Merger Consideration that otherwise would have been payable in respect of such share under this Agreement; or (ii) reasonably incurs any other costs or expenses (including specifically, but without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses in connection with any Legal Proceeding commenced by a holder of Dissenting Shares) in respect of any Dissenting Shares (together, the “Dissenting Share Payments”), Parent shall be entitled to recover under the terms of Section 9 hereof the amount of such Dissenting Share Payments.

 

1.16      Further Action.  If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is determined by Parent to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to vest the Surviving Corporation or Parent with full right, title and possession of and to all rights and property of Merger Sub and the Company, the officers and directors of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be fully authorized (in the name of Merger Sub, in the name of the Company and otherwise) to take such action.

9.5        Procedure Relative to Indemnification.

 

(a)               In the event that any party hereto shall claim that it is entitled to be indemnified, defended or held harmless pursuant to the terms of this Section 9 (each, a “Claim”), such party (the “Claiming Party”) shall promptly notify the party or parties against which the claim is made (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing (a “Claim Notice”) of such Claim promptly after the Claiming Party becomes aware of the Claim or receives notice of any action, Legal Proceeding, demand or assessment or otherwise has received notice of any claim of a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”) that may reasonably be expected to result in a Claim by the Claiming Party against the Indemnifying Party.  The Claim Notice shall specify the breach of representation, warranty, agreement or covenant claimed by the Claiming Party and the Damages incurred by, or imposed upon, the Claiming Party on account thereof.  If such Damages are liquidated in amount, the Claim Notice shall so state and such amount shall be deemed the amount of the Claim of the Claiming Party.  If the amount is not liquidated, the Claim Notice shall so state and in such event a Claim shall be deemed asserted against the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Claiming Party, but no payment shall be made on account thereof until the amount of such Claim is liquidated and the Claim is finally determined.

 

(b)               The following provisions shall apply to Claims of the Claiming Party which are based upon a Third-Party Claim (including any form of Legal Proceeding filed or instituted by any Governmental Body):

 

(i)            The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon receipt of the Claim Notice and at its expense, to defend such Third-Party Claim in its own name or, if necessary, in the name of the Claiming Party.  The Claiming Party shall cooperate with and make available to the Indemnifying Party such assistance and materials as may be reasonably requested of the Claiming Party, and the Claiming Party shall have the right, at the Claiming

 

41



 

Party’s expense, to participate in the defense.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim only with the consent of the Claiming Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless there is no finding or admission of any violation of Legal Requirements or any violation of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other Claims that may be made against the Claiming Party and the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party.  If the Claiming Party fails to consent to any settlement or compromise offer, the Indemnifying Party may continue to contest such Third-Party Claim and, in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party to the Claiming Party such Claim shall not exceed such settlement or compromise offer.

 

(ii)           Regardless of whether the Indemnifying Party elects to defend the Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall also have the right, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the Claim Notice, to notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes the merits of the Third-Party Claim or that the Third-Party Claim is the subject of indemnification hereunder.  Such dispute shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s right to defend the Third-Party Claim under Section 9.5(b)(i).

 

(iii)         In the event the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party does not wish to defend the Third-Party Claim, then the Claiming Party shall have the right to conduct a defense against such Third-Party Claim and shall have the right to settle and compromise such Third-Party Claim if it acts reasonably and in good faith upon ten (10) days’ notice to, but without having to first obtain the consent of, the Indemnifying Party.

 

(c)               Upon receipt of a Claim Notice that does not involve a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days from the receipt of such Claim Notice to notify the Claiming Party that the Indemnifying Party disputes such Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party does not timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the amount of such Claim shall be deemed, conclusively, a Liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party does timely notify the Claiming Party of such dispute, then the Claiming Party shall have thirty (30) days to respond in a written statement to the objection of the Indemnifying Party.  If after such thirty (30)-day period there remains a dispute as to any such Claim, then the Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party shall attempt in good faith for a period not to exceed thirty (30) additional days to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to such Claim.  If the parties should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent.  If the parties do not agree within such additional thirty (30)-day period, then the Claiming Party may pursue any and all other remedies available to it hereunder.  With respect to any Claim Notice relating to a breach of the representation and warranty contained in the last sentence of Section 2.15(h) or Section 2.15(j), the Claiming Party shall promptly notify the Stockholders’ Agent after it becomes of aware of such Claim and shall keep the Stockholders’ Agent reasonably informed of any remediation actions to be taken by the Claiming Party with respect thereto.

 

(d)               In the event it is determined, or the Claiming Party agrees, that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify the Claiming Party for such Claim, the Claiming Party agrees to pay all costs, expenses and fees, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,

 

42



 

which may have been incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending or disputing the Claim by the Claiming Party under this Section 9.

 

(e)               In the event any Parent Indemnitee receives any oral or written communication regarding any pending or threatened examination, claim, adjustment or other Legal Proceeding with respect to the Liability of the Surviving Corporation or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries for Taxes for which the Effective Time Holders are or may be liable under this Agreement by reason of a breach of any representation or warranty set forth in Section 2.12 or otherwise (a “Tax Claim”), the Surviving Corporation shall, within ten days, notify the Stockholders’ Agent in writing thereof, and the Effective Time Holders, through the Stockholders’ Agent, shall be entitled, at their sole expense, to control or settle the contest of, any examination, claim, adjustment or Legal Proceeding that could give rise to such Liability; provided, however, that the Effective Time Holders shall not take or advocate any position that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Surviving Corporation or any of the Company Subsidiaries without the prior written consent of the Surviving Corporation, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  The Effective Time Holders through the Stockholders’ Agent shall keep the Surviving Corporation fully and timely informed with respect to the commencement, status and nature of any such Tax Proceeding.  The Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries shall cooperate fully with the Stockholders’ Agent in handling any such Tax Claim.  The Surviving Corporation shall provide, or cause to be provided to the Stockholders’ Agent or its designee, all necessary authorizations, including powers of attorney, to control any such Tax Proceeding which the Effective Time Holders are entitled to control in connection with this Section 9.5(e).  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, if any such Tax Proceeding relating to a Tax Claim results in the payment of any Taxes for which the Effective Time Holders are liable hereunder, the amount of the Taxes for which the Effective Time Holders are liable shall be net of any Tax benefit realized or reasonably expected to be realized by the Surviving Corporation, the Company’s Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates as a result of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Liability (also taking into account any Tax detriment realized by the receipt of such indemnification payment) of the Effective Time Holders for such Taxes.

 

(f)                For purposes of this Section 9, the Stockholders’ Agent shall act on behalf of the Stockholder Indemnitees.

 

(g)               The parties hereby agree that, unless otherwise required by a final “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, all indemnification payments made pursuant to this Agreement will be treated for income tax purposes as adjustments to the Merger Consideration.

 

9.6        Limits on Indemnification.

 

(a)               Basket.  Neither the Escrow Participants nor the Company shall be obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless any Parent Indemnitee with respect to any Damages from any Claim or Claims made by a Parent Indemnitee pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) of this Agreement, except to the extent that the aggregate Damages from all Claims exceed one-half percent (0.5%) of the Enterprise Value (the “Basket Amount”), at which point the Escrow Participants will only be obligated to indemnify the Parent Indemnitees from and

 

43



 

against all Damages above the Basket Amount.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6(a) shall not apply (i) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations or (ii) to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.18 of this Agreement relating to the Company’s 401(k) Plan or any predecessor thereto.

 

(b)               Escrow as Cap.  In no event shall (i) the Escrow Participants’ aggregate liability for Damages pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) exceed, in the aggregate, the Escrow Amount, or (ii) any individual Escrow Participant’s liability for Damages pursuant to Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) exceed, in the aggregate, such Escrow Participant’s Escrow Contribution; provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6(b) shall not apply to inaccuracies in or breaches of any of the Specified Representations or as otherwise provided in Section 9.6(c).

 

(c)               Liability Cap Applicable to the Specified Representations and other Matters.  In no event shall: (i) Russell Fleischer have any liability for indemnification with respect to Section 9.3(c), 9.3(d) or 9.3(e) or resulting from an inaccuracy or breach of the Specified Representations, in excess of his Escrow Contribution (and, with respect thereto, the Escrow Amount shall constitute the exclusive remedy), or (ii) any individual Principal Stockholder’s liability for Damages pursuant to Sections 9.3(c), 9.3(d) or 9.3(e) or resulting from an inaccuracy or breach of the Specified Representations exceed, in the aggregate, such Principal Stockholder’s Pro Rata Share of the Merger Consideration.

 

(d)               Cut-Off Date.  Any Claim made under Sections 9.3(a) or 9.3(b) and 9.4(a) or 9.4(b) of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in Section 9.2, not submitted in writing to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the Cut-Off Date shall be deemed to have been waived and shall be absolutely and forever barred and unenforceable, null and void, and of no force or effect whatsoever and the indemnifying party shall have no further liability with respect thereto.

 

(e)               Treatment of Insurance and Tax Benefits.  With respect to each Claim, the Claiming Party (or in the case of a Claim by any Parent Indemnitee after Closing, the Surviving Corporation and the Company Subsidiaries) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assert all claims under all applicable insurance policies, and any Damages that may be recovered by the Claiming Party with respect to such Claim shall be net of any insurance proceeds received with respect thereto (net of the present value of any increases in premiums).  To the extent that insurance proceeds are collected after a Claim has been settled, the Claiming Party shall restore the Indemnifying Party to the same economic position as would have existed had such insurance proceeds been collected prior to the settlement of such Claim.  In addition, the Damages that may be recovered by a Claiming Party shall be net of any Tax benefit as a result of the facts and circumstances giving rise to the Liability of the Indemnifying Party, but solely to the extent of any Tax benefit actually received (if and when received and treating any such benefit as the last item of deduction for the applicable Tax year) and taking into account any Tax detriment to the Claiming Party from the indemnification payments (taking into account Section 9.5(g) below).

 

44



 

(f)                Right of Subrogation.  If any of the Damages for which an Indemnifying Party is responsible or allegedly responsible under this Section 9 are recoverable or reasonably likely to be recoverable against any third party at the time that payment is due hereunder, the Claiming Party shall assign any and all rights that it may have to recover such Damages to the Indemnifying Party or, if such rights are not assignable for any reason, the Claiming Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any and all such Damages on account thereof from such third party for the benefit of the Indemnifying Party.  The Claiming Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all Damages paid by the Indemnifying Party to the Claiming Party pursuant to this Agreement to the extent such amount is subsequently paid to the Claiming Party by any Person other than the Indemnifying Party.

 

(g)               No Duplication of Recovery.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, (i) to the extent that any Damages resulting from any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of the Company under Section 2 is taken into account as a current liability, reserved or accrued, or otherwise accounted for, in determining Working Capital, (A) no Parent Indemnitee may recover such Damages through a Claim pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise and (B) such Damages shall not be included in the determination of whether all Damages, in the aggregate, exceed the Basket Amount, and (ii) no Parent Indemnitee may recover duplicative Damages from the Escrow Participants (including the Principal Stockholders) in respect of a single set of facts or circumstances under more than one representation or warranty in the Transaction Documents regardless of whether such facts or circumstances would give rise to a breach of more than one representation or warranty in this Agreement.

 

(h)           Disclaimer of Certain Damages.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, no Person shall be liable to any other Person under this Agreement or any Transaction Documents for any exemplary or punitive damages of such other Person or for any consequential damages of such Person to the extent such consequential damages are not reasonably foreseeable, whether in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise; provided, however, that for purposes of this sentence any damages awarded or claimed on account of a third party claim will be deemed to be actual Damages even if constituting any of the foregoing.  Each party hereby expressly releases the other parties and their respective representatives from all such Damages as described in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

9.7        Exclusive Remedies.  If the Merger has been consummated, then from and after the Effective Time, the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, the Surviving Corporation, the Stockholder’s Agent and the Escrow Participants in respect of any and all Claims (other than statutory, equitable or common law rights or remedies, in each case, for fraud or intentional misrepresentation) arising out of or relating to the Merger and the Transactions (a “Covered Matter”) (irrespective of the cause of action, whether in contract, tort or otherwise) will be to make an indemnification claim pursuant to this Section 9.  If the Merger has been consummated, no Covered Matter will give rise to any right of any party hereto to rescind this Agreement or any of the Transactions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any of the Parent Indemnitees be deemed to have waived any statutory, equitable or common law rights or remedies for fraud or intentional misrepresentation.

 

45



 

9.8        Escrow As First Source of Recovery.  Any indemnification to which Parent Indemnitees are entitled under this Agreement as a result of Damages they may suffer shall be deducted, first, by the Parent Indemnitees from the Escrow Amount in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement; and, accordingly, the Escrow Amount shall be the first source of recovery for such Damages.  No Principal Stockholder shall be liable for Damages directly, until such time as the Escrow Amount has been reduced to zero in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the entire amount of the Escrow Amount shall be available to the Parent Indemnitees on a joint and several basis for satisfaction of any Damages they may suffer, regardless of whether or not such Damages were caused by a particular Escrow Participant, and irrespective of whether Claims were first asserted by the Parent Indemnitees against one or more of the Escrow Participants.  Subject to Sections 9.6(e) and 9.6(f), none of the Escrow Participants may recover from the Parent Indemnitees, and none of the Parent Indemnitees has any Liability for, any amount by which the Escrow Amount is reduced thereby.

 

9.9        No Recovery.  No Principal Stockholder will be entitled to make any Claim for indemnification against Parent, the Merger Sub or, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation by reason of the fact that such Principal Stockholder was a controlling Person, director, employee or representative of the Company or was serving as such for another Person at the request of Parent or the Company (whether such Claim is for Damages of any kind or otherwise and whether such claim is pursuant to any statute, governing documents, contractual obligation or otherwise) with respect to any Claim for which a Parent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification from a Principal Stockholder under this Agreement.

 

9.10      Determination of Damages.  For purposes of this Section 9 and for calculating Damages resulting from a breach or inaccuracy of a representation or warranty (but not for the purpose of determining the existence of such breach or inaccuracy), all qualifications as to “materiality” and “Material Adverse Effect” shall be disregarded and without effect (as if such standard or qualification were deleted from such representation, warranty or covenant).

 

SECTION 10.  TAX MATTERS.

 

10.1      Tax Indemnification.  The Principal Stockholders shall jointly and severally indemnify the Parent Indemnitees from and against, any Damages attributable to (a) all Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of the Company and its Subsidiaries for all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date and the portion through the end of the Closing Date for any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (“Pre-Closing Tax Period”), (b) all Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (or any predecessor of any of the foregoing) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treasury Regulation § 1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local, or foreign Legal Requirements, and (c) any and all Taxes of any Person (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) imposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as a transferee or successor, by contract or pursuant to any law, rule, or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring before the Closing; provided, however, that in the case of clauses (a), (b), and (c) above, the Principal Stockholders shall be liable only to the extent that such Taxes exceed the amount, if any, reserved for such Taxes (excluding any

 

46



 

reserve for deferred Taxes established to reflect timing differences between book and Tax income) included in the computation of the Working Capital for purposes of Section 1 of this Agreement, and provided further that Parent shall not be entitled to a duplicate recovery for any amount indemnifiable pursuant to this Section 10.  For the avoidance of doubt, the indemnification obligations of the Principal Stockholders under this Section 10.1 shall not be limited by any language or limitations contained in the representation on Taxes found in Section 2.12.  The procedures set forth in Section 9.5 shall apply with respect to any claim by Parent for Tax indemnification under this Section 10.1.  Any Taxes of the Company or its Subsidiaries that are the responsibility of the Principal Stockholders pursuant to this Section 10.1 constitute Damages giving rise to a Claim that the Parent Indemnitees may assert against the Stockholder Indemnitees in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, all available net operating loss and net capital loss carryforwards attributable to Pre-Closing Tax Periods of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be applied when determining (i) Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and (ii) any indemnification obligation under this Agreement in the event of a breach of a representation set forth in Section 2.12 of this Agreement.

 

10.2      Straddle Period and Other Allocations.  In the case of any taxable period that includes (but does not end on) the Closing Date (a “Straddle Period”), the amount of any Taxes based on or measured by income or receipts of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the taxable period of any partnership or other pass-through entity in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries holds a beneficial interest shall be deemed to terminate at such time) and the amount of other Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries for a Straddle Period that relates to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be deemed to be the amount of such Tax for the entire taxable period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the taxable period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in such Straddle Period.  For the avoidance of doubt, all employer Taxes attributable to payments of compensation to employees and former employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, and all employer Taxes attributable to Option Consideration, shall be the responsibility of Parent and shall not be subject to indemnification or reimbursement under this Section 10 or any other provision of this Agreement; provided, however, that Parent shall be responsible for such employer Taxes only to the extent the employer Taxes are attributable to such compensation and Option Consideration that is paid after the Closing Date or, if paid on the Closing Date, is deductible after the Closing Date.  The parties agree that the payment of compensation (including Option Consideration) to employees or former employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries on the Closing Date but after the Effective Time shall be properly allocable to the portion of the Closing Date of the Company and its Subsidiaries after the Effective Time, so that, in accordance with Treasury Regulation 1.1502-76(b)(1)(ii)(B), such payment shall be treated for all Federal income tax purposes as occurring at the beginning of the day following the Closing Date.

 

10.3      Cooperation.  The parties hereto shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their Representatives reasonably to cooperate, in the preparation of Tax Returns, the payment of Taxes, the resolution of Tax audits and Tax deficiencies, and effectuating the terms of this Agreement, including maintaining and making available to each other all records necessary in connection therewith.  Parent shall retain the Records of the Company as provided in Section 6.1

 

47



 

of the Agreement.  The Stockholder’s Agent shall retain all Records in its possession with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date for at least seven (7) years following the Closing.

 

SECTION 11. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.

 

11.1      Stockholders’ Agent.

 

(a)               Appointment.  By virtue of the adoption of this Agreement pursuant to the Stockholder Written Consent or such other agreements and documents, as applicable, the Effective Time Holders irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint the Stockholders’ Agent as the agent and true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Effective Time Holders, with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Effective Time Holders for purposes of executing any documents and taking any actions that the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate in connection with any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 9 or under the Escrow Agreement.

 

(b)               Authority.  The Effective Time Holders grant to the Stockholders’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of the Effective Time Holders (in the name of any or all of the Effective Time Holders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, in such forms and containing such provisions as the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine to be appropriate, in performing his duties as contemplated by Section 11.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Transactions: (i) each Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Agent on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 9 or under the Escrow Agreement; and (ii) each Parent Indemnitee shall be entitled to rely conclusively (without further evidence of any kind whatsoever) on any document executed or purported to be executed on behalf of any Effective Time Holder by the Stockholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Effective Time Holder by the Stockholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such Effective Time Holder.

 

(c)               Power of Attorney.  The Effective Time Holders recognize and intend that the power of attorney granted in Section 11.1(a): (i) is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable; (ii) may be delegated by the Stockholders’ Agent (provided that such delegation is reasonably acceptable to Parent); and (iii) shall survive the death or incapacity of any Effective Time Holder.

 

(d)               Replacement.  If the Stockholders’ Agent shall dissolve or otherwise be unable to fulfill its responsibilities hereunder, the Effective Time Holders shall (by consent of those Persons entitled to at least a majority of the Merger Consideration), within 30 days after such dissolution, appoint a successor to the Stockholders’ Agent (who shall be reasonably satisfactory to Parent) and immediately thereafter notify Parent of the identity of such successor. Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholders’ Agent as the “Stockholders’ Agent”

 

48



 

hereunder.  If for any reason there is no Stockholders’ Agent at any time, all references herein to the Stockholders’ Agent shall be deemed to refer to the Effective Time Holders.

 

(e)               Stockholder’s Agent Retention Account.  The Company and the Stockholders’ Agent will, at least two days prior to the Closing Date, direct, by joint written notice(s) to Parent, that on the Closing Date a portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable to the Escrow Participants, in an amount equal to $25,000, shall be withheld and paid directly by Parent to the Stockholders’ Agent as designated in such notice, as a fund for the fees and expenses of the Stockholders’ Agent incurred in connection with this Agreement (the “Stockholders’ Agent Retention Account”), with any balance of the Stockholders’ Agent Retention Account not used for such purposes to be paid by the Stockholders’ Agent to the Effective Time Holders in accordance with their respective Escrow Contributions.

 

(f)                Exculpation.  The Stockholders’ Agent shall not be liable to any Effective Time Holder for any act done or omitted hereunder as Stockholders’ Agent while acting in good faith and in the exercise of reasonable judgment, and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Effective Time Holders shall jointly and severally indemnify the Stockholders’ Agent and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on the part of the Stockholders’ Agent and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder.

 

11.2      Fees and Expenses.  Each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses (including legal fees and accounting fees) that have been incurred or that are incurred by such party in connection with the Transactions, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of: (a) the investigation and review conducted by Parent and its Representatives with respect to the Company’s business (and the furnishing of information to Parent and its Representatives in connection with such investigation and review); (b) the negotiation, preparation and review of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedule) and all agreements, certificates, opinions and other instruments and documents delivered or to be delivered in connection with the Transactions, (c) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the Transactions, and the obtaining of any consent required to be obtained in connection with any of such transactions; and (d) the consummation of the Merger.  In the case of the Company, all Company Transaction Expenses shall be deducted from the amount otherwise payable as the Merger Consideration under this Agreement.

 

11.3      Notices.  Any notice or other communication required or permitted to be delivered to any party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly delivered, given and received when delivered (by hand, by registered mail, by courier or express delivery service or by facsimile) to the address or facsimile telephone number set forth beneath the name of such party below (or to such other address or facsimile telephone number as such party shall have specified in a written notice given to the other parties hereto):

11.9      Remedies Cumulative; Specific Performance.  The rights and remedies of the parties hereto shall be cumulative (and not alternative).  The parties to this Agreement agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any party to this Agreement of any covenant, obligation or other provision set forth in this Agreement for the benefit of any other party to this Agreement, such other party shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it) to: (a) a decree or order of specific performance or mandamus to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant, obligation or other provision; and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach.

 

11.10    Amendments and Waivers.

(b)               No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Legal Requirement.

 

11.11    Severability.  Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision hereof is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit the

 

51



 

term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be enforceable as so modified.  In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term.

 

11.12    Parties in Interest.  Except for the provisions of Sections 1.11, 6.3 and Section 9, none of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to provide any rights or remedies to any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns (if any).

(b)               The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

(c)               As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 

(d)               All monetary amounts listed in this Agreement are expressed in United States dollars.

 

(e)               Except as otherwise indicated, all references in this Agreement to “Sections” and “Exhibits” are intended to refer to Sections of this Agreement and Exhibits to this Agreement.

This Separation Agreement, Waiver, and Release (“Agreement”) is made and entered into the          day of January, 2010 by and among Russell Fleischer (“Employee”); Quovadx Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”); and Lawson Software Americas, Inc. (“Lawson”).

 

WHEREAS, Employee has been employed with the Company as its CEO pursuant to a letter agreement dated June 4, 2007 (the “Offer Letter”);

 

WHEREAS, Lawson acquired the Company by means of reverse triangular merger (the “Merger”) effective as of the date hereof, pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 7, 2010 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Lawson, the Company and the other parties thereto (capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement);

 

WHEREAS, Lawson has informed the Employee that it is unable to identify a position for him within Lawson after the Merger;

 

WHEREAS, effective as of the date hereof, Employee’s employment and position as an officer with the Company has terminated;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to this Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain severance benefits to Employee (in lieu of the payment of any amounts or other benefits pursuant to the Offer Letter); and

 

WHEREAS, in consideration of this Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Employee has agreed to provide the Company and Lawson with a full release of any and all claims that Employee has or may have against the Company, Lawson, and any of their predecessors, affiliates, successors and assigns, in return for providing the benefits set forth in this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants established in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:

B.            The Company will pay to Employee the sum of $50,000, less applicable payroll deductions, and this sum shall be payable on the next business day following the expiration of the 7-day rescission period as described in Section X, in consideration of the release set forth in Section II(B).

D.            Employee also understands that Employee will receive the Severance Benefits set forth above only if Employee signs this Agreement and does not rescind it within the seven (7) day rescission period provided for in Section X.  If, however, this Agreement is rescinded, then the Offer Letter shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be superseded by this Agreement.  Employee represents that Employee is not a party to a pending personal bankruptcy, and that Employee is legally able and entitled to receive the money being paid to Employee by the Company.

 

E.             On the date hereof, the Company agrees to pay the following amounts to Employee:

 

1.             Accrued Base Salary.  The Company will pay to Employee the sum of [$            ], less applicable payroll deductions, representing Employee’s accrued (but unpaid) base salary for the period from [Last Payroll Date] through the Closing Date.

 

2.             Vacation.  The Company will pay to Employee all earned but unused vacation through the Employee’s last day of employment.

 

3.             Business Expense Reimbursement.  Prior the Closing Date, Employee has submitted all requests for reimbursements of business expenses and has received reimbursements for all such expenses.

II.            RELEASE OF CLAIMS.

 

A.            In return for the benefits listed in Sections I(A) and I(C) above, subject to rescision provisions of Section X, Employee, on behalf of Employee, Employee’s heirs, executors, family members, beneficiaries, assignees, administrators, successors, and executors or anyone acting or claiming to act on Employee’s behalf, hereby releases and forever discharges, in full and final settlement, the Company, Lawson and all of their predecessors and successors, and all of Lawson’s, the Company’s and their predecessors’ and successors’ respective divisions, parents, subsidiaries, affiliated organizations, companies, foundations, and other corporations as well as past and present employees, agents, officials, officers, directors, board members and representatives, both individually and in their representative capacities (collectively, the “Released Parties”), from any and all claims or causes of action of any type, both known or unknown, asserted and unasserted, direct and indirect, and of any kind, nature, or description whatsoever, under any local, state, or federal law(s), or the common law of the State of Texas, arising or which may have arisen at any time prior to the date of this Agreement.  This release includes, but is not limited to, any and all claims arising from Employee’s employment with the Company or any business entity related to or acting on behalf of the Company, including claims arising under the Texas Commission of Human Rights Act, the Texas Payday law, retaliation claims under the Texas Workers Compensation Act, Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, and any other local, state, or federal law(s) relating to illegal discrimination in the workplace or other unlawful employment practices, as well as any claims that Employee may have been wrongfully discharged, that a employment contract has been breached, that Employee has been harassed or otherwise treated unfairly during Employee’s employment, or that Employee has been defamed in any fashion.  Subject to the following paragraph, this release also includes any claims Employee may have based arising out of or connected with (i) the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (ii) Employee’s position as a director, officer, employee, stockholder and/or optionholder of the Company, or (iii) Employee’s ownership, transfer or conversion of any securities of the Company (other than his right to receive the Applicable Per Share Merger

 



 

Consideration in respect of his capital stock and including his right to receive his Escrow Contribution, all in accordance with the Merger Agreement and the Escrow Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement)).  This release also includes any claims for libel or slander, claims for assault or battery, claims for infliction of emotional distress whether intentional or negligent, claims of negligence (including negligent hiring, negligent supervision, and negligent retention), or any and all other claims arising out of Employee’s employment relationship with the Company, Employee’s termination of employment with the Company, or arising under the common law of any state.  This release also includes any claims for attorney’s fees that Employee has or may have had for any claim identified above.  Employee acknowledges that the severance benefits set forth in Sections I(A) and I(C) above constitute adequate consideration for this release.

B.            In return for the benefits listed in Section I(B) above, Employee, on behalf of Employee, Employee’s heirs, executors, family members, beneficiaries, assignees, administrators, successors, and executors or anyone acting or claiming to act on Employee’s behalf, hereby releases and forever discharges the Released Parties from any and all claims or causes of action of any type, both known and unknown, arising under or relating to the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, as amended.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, this Agreement does not release any rights or claims Employee may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act or any of the Company’s benefit plans which arise after Employee signs this Agreement or which arise from acts occurring after Employee signs this Agreement.

 

C.            Additionally, although Employee, pursuant to this Agreement, is not releasing, waiving, or discharging Employee’s right to file or be a witness in, a federal, state or local charge of discrimination, Employee, on behalf of Employee and any and all heirs and assigns, hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally agrees to and does fully and finally release and/or waive Employee’s right to receive compensation or monetary relief from said charge(s).

 

III.           NON-ADMISSION.

 

It is understood and agreed that this Agreement does not constitute an admission by the Company or Lawson or any of their predecessors or successors of any liability, wrongdoing, or violation of any law.  Further, the Company and Lawson expressly deny any wrongdoing of any kind whatsoever in their actions and dealings with Employee.  Employee acknowledges and agrees that the Company and Lawson have no obligation to hire or employ Employee in the future.

 

IV.           CONFIDENTIALITY, NONDISPARAGEMENT AND NO ASSISTANCE ADVERSE TO COMPANY.

 

A.            Confidentiality.  In consideration of the promises set forth in Section I above, Employee promises and represents that Employee will not personally, nor will Employee authorize any other representative, employee, agent, or attorney acting on Employee’s behalf to disclose, disseminate, or publicize, or permit to be disclosed, disseminated, or publicized, any of the terms of this Agreement to any outside third person except as may be required by law.  The term “person” utilized above shall include individuals, corporations, partnerships, associations, subsidiaries, divisions or government agencies.  Notwithstanding the above, Employee may communicate information regarding this Agreement to Employee’s spouse, personal legal counsel and tax advisor, each of whom will first be advised of the confidential nature of this Agreement, and each person who receives this confidential information shall be directed not to disclose, disseminate or otherwise publicize its terms.

 



 

B.            Nondisparagement.  Employee covenants and agrees not to knowingly make any disparaging remarks, either orally or in writing, regarding the Company, Lawson, or any of their respective employees, officers or directors.  This Agreement does not restrict or prevent Employee from (a) responding to or cooperating with any governmental inquiry or investigation or (b) providing truthful testimony in any deposition or proceeding.

 

C.            No Assistance Adverse to Company.  In consideration of the payments to Employee under this Agreement, Employee covenants and agrees to not hereafter contact, respond to or otherwise knowingly assist in any manner, any employee or former employee of the Company (or any parent, subsidiary, predecessor or successor) concerning any actual or potential claims or legal actions against the Company (or any parent, subsidiary, predecessor or successor), unless (a) compelled to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction or (b) required to do so in writing by the Equal Opportunity Employment Commission (EEOC), the Department of Human Rights or another governmental agency.   Unless prohibited by applicable law or regulation, Employee shall provide the Company’s or Lawson’s current chief executive officer prompt written notice of any such requested assistance that relates to the Company or its successor.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Employee from participating in a charge before an administrative body or entity for non-monetary relief.

 

V.            COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

 

Employee acknowledges his continuing obligations under his Nondisclosure, Developments Agreement and Non-Solicit Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

 

VI.           NON-SOLICITATION AND NO-HIRE.

 

Employee covenants and agrees that for 12 months after the effective date of this Agreement, Employee will not directly or indirectly solicit any employees of the Company or Lawson or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates for the purpose of hiring them or inducing them to leave employment with the Company or Lawson or any of their subsidiaries or affiliates.

 

VII.         JOB REFERENCE AND NO RE-HIRE.

 

If the Company or Lawson is contacted regarding a job reference for Employee, the Company and Lawson agree only to give the dates of Employee’s employment and the position held, except as otherwise required by law.  Employee agrees that Employee will not apply for another position with the Company or Lawson and Employee will not be eligible for re-hire.  Lawson agrees that Lawson’s executive management will not knowingly make any disparaging statements or comments about Employee concerning Employee’s employment or his cessation of employment.

 

VIII.        RETURN OF COMPANY RECORDS, PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT.

 

By January       , 2010, Employee shall return to the Company (by delivering in person or using the postage prepaid mailer supplied by Company), all Company or Lawson (or their respective their affiliates or subsidiaries) records, materials, property and equipment possessed by Employee, including, without limitation, Employee’s key cards and credit cards, any documents belonging to the Company or Lawson (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) or that contain confidential information, and any other Company or Lawson (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) property possessed anywhere by Employee.  In the event that Employee finds any Company or Lawson (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) property, including without limitation documents or electronic equipment, after his last day of employment, Employee shall promptly return such property to the Company.

 



 

IX.           OPPORTUNITY TO CONSIDER AND SEEK ADVICE AND CONFIRMATION OF UNDERSTANDING.

 

Employee acknowledges that Employee received this Agreement on January     , 2010.  Employee has been advised by the Company and Lawson that Employee has the right to consult with an attorney (at Employee’s own expense) before signing this Agreement, and that Employee has twenty-one (21) calendar days after the date on which Employee received this Agreement to consider whether or not Employee wishes to sign it.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee expressly waives this twenty-one (21) day period.  If Employee signs this Agreement without the benefit of the twenty-one (21) calendar day period, it will be his personal and voluntary decision to do so.

 

Employee acknowledges that Employee has read and understands this entire Agreement, and has had sufficient opportunity to ask the Company and Lawson any questions about this Agreement.  If Employee has asked the Company and Lawson any questions about this Agreement, all questions have been answered and Employee understands and is satisfied with all of those answers.

XII.         COOPERATION

 

Employee agrees that Employee will cooperate with the Company and Lawson (at the Company’s expense) as follows:

 



 

A.            Legal Proceedings.  In the event that any legal proceeding arises in which the Company, Lawson or any of their respective affiliated entities, parents, or successors deems Employee’s testimony or participation to be relevant or necessary, Employee agrees to cooperate with the Company, Lawson or the affiliated entity, parent, or successor in connection with the proceeding by providing testimony through affidavit, in a deposition, or at a hearing or trial, or otherwise assisting the Company, Lawson or affiliated entity or successor with respect to the proceeding.  This provision is not intended to affect the substance of any testimony that Employee is asked to provide.  Rather, Employee agrees to provide truthful testimony and to otherwise assist the Company, Lawson or affiliated entity in light of and in full compliance will all applicable laws.

 

B.            Consultation.  In the event that any questions arise with regard to any information or subject that Employee developed, of which Employee had knowledge or with which Employee was otherwise involved during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee agrees to reasonably cooperate with and respond to any request by the Company, Lawson or any affiliated entity, parent, or successor for advice, opinions, or other information responsive to the question posed.

 

XIII.        NON-ASSIGNMENT.

 

Employee, the Company and Lawson agree that this Agreement may not be assigned by either party unless the other party consents in writing, except that Company may assign this Agreement without Employee’s consent to Lawson or any parent, subsidiary, or successor thereof or in connection with a merger or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or any applicable operating division.

 

XIV.        SAVINGS CLAUSE.

 

If any provision of this Agreement is determined later to be invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.  Moreover, if one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be excessively broad as to scope, activity, subject, or otherwise, so as to be unenforceable at law, such provision or provisions shall be construed by the appropriate judicial body by limiting or reducing it or them, so as to be enforceable to the maximum extent compatible with then applicable law.  However, if the Release contained in Section II(A) is held to be void or unenforceable in any respect, then this entire Agreement shall be voidable at the Company’s option.  Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be construed as entitling the Company to abrogate or require tender back of the severance payment of Section I(B) relating to the enforcement of Section II(B).

 

XV.         EMPLOYER’S REMEDIES.

 

Employee acknowledges that the violation of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm to the Company and Lawson,  and he agrees that, in addition to any other relief afforded by law, an injunction against the violation of the Agreement and Release may be issued against Employee.  Both damages and injunction shall be proper modes of relief and are not alternative remedies.  If the Company or Lawson commences any action in equity to specifically enforce any of their rights under this Agreement, Employee waives and agrees not to assert the defense that the Company or Lawson have an adequate remedy at law.  All payments under this Agreement shall cease upon Employee’s violation of any of its terms, except for the severance payment under Section I(B) as it relates to the enforcement of Section II(B).

 

XVI.        GOVERNING LAW AND GENERAL.

 

This Agreement will be construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas.  The Company, Lawson and the Employee acknowledge that the Released Parties are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Agreement.  The parties to this agreement agree and acknowledge that this Agreement shall be considered to have been drafted equally by each of the parties.  The headings of all of the paragraphs and subparagraphs of this Agreement are inserted only for convenience for reference, and are not part of this Agreement.

 



 

XVII.      GUARANTEE

 

Lawson hereby guarantees the obligations of the Company under this Agreement to pay the Severance Benefits.  The obligations of Lawson under this Section XVII are subject in all respects to all rights and defenses of the Company arising under this Agreement and the contemplated transactions and will in all events terminate upon the occurrence of a Rescission Event.

FORM OF COOLEY LEGAL OPINION

 

Lawson Software Americas, Inc.

380 St. Peter Street

St. Paul, MN 55102

 

Re:                             Acquisition of Quovadx Holdings, Inc. by Lawson Software Americas, Inc.

 

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

We have acted as counsel for Quovadx Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and each of Battery Ventures VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Stockholders’ Agent”) and Battery Ventures VII, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with the Stockholders’ Agent, the “Principal Stockholders”), in connection with the merger (the “Merger”) of the Company with Highway Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Merger Sub”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Lawson Software Americas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”) under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of January 7, 2010 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), by and among the Company, Parent, the Merger Sub, Battery Ventures VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and Battery Investment Partners VII, LLC, each in their capacity as Principal Stockholders, and Battery Ventures VII, L.P. in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Agent.  We have also acted as counsel for Healthvision Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Healthvision Solutions”), Healthvision, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Healthvision”), Advica Health Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Advica”), Confer Software, Inc., a California corporation (“Confer”) and Quovadx International, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“Quovadx International”, and together with Healthvision Solutions, Healthvision, Advica, and Confer, the “Company Subsidiaries”).  We are rendering this opinion pursuant to Section 7(e) of the Acquisition Agreement.  Except as otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the respective meanings given to them in the Acquisition Agreement.

 

In connection with this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the representations and warranties as to factual matters contained in and made pursuant to the Acquisition Agreement by the various parties and originals or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such records, documents, certificates, opinions, memoranda and other instruments as in our judgment are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below.

 

As to certain factual matters we have relied upon certificates of officers of the Company and Company Subsidiaries and have not sought to independently verify such matters.  Where we render an opinion “to our knowledge” or concerning an item “known to us” or our opinion otherwise refers to our knowledge, it is based solely upon (i) an inquiry of attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company and Company Subsidiaries, (ii) receipt of a certificate

 



 

executed by an officer of the Company and Company Subsidiaries covering such matters, and (iii) such other investigation, if any, that we specifically set forth herein.

 

In rendering this opinion, we have assumed: the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals; the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as copies; the accuracy, completeness and authenticity of certificates of public officials; the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents (except the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Company of the Acquisition Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the releases delivered in satisfaction of Sections 7.2(f) of the Acquisition Agreement executed by the Principal Stockholders (together, the “Transaction Agreements”)), where authorization, execution and delivery are prerequisites to the effectiveness of such documents; and the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on original documents (except the signatures on behalf of the Company on the Transaction Agreements).  We have also assumed:  that the Transaction Agreements are obligations binding upon the parties thereto other than the Company; and that there are no extrinsic agreements or understandings among the parties to the Transaction Agreements that would modify or interpret the terms of any such Agreements or the respective rights or obligations of the parties thereunder.

 

Our opinion is expressed only with respect to (i) the federal laws of the United States of America and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; (ii) the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware; and (iii) for purposes of paragraphs 1 and 2, the laws of the State of California solely with respect to Confer and the laws of the State of Colorado solely with respect to Quovadx International.  We express no opinion as to whether the laws of any particular jurisdiction apply, and no opinion to the extent that the laws of any jurisdiction other than those identified above are applicable to the subject matter hereof.  We note that the parties to the Transaction Agreements have designated the laws of the State of the State of Delaware as the laws governing the Transaction Agreements.  Our opinion in paragraph 5 below as to the validity, binding effect and enforceability of the Transaction Agreements relating to the Principal Stockholders is premised upon the result that would obtain if a Massachusetts court were to apply the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (notwithstanding the designation of the laws of the State of Delaware) to the interpretation and enforcement of the Transaction Agreements.

 

We are not rendering any opinion as to any statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, decree or decisional law relating to antitrust, banking, land use, environmental, pension, employee benefit, tax, fraudulent conveyance, usury, or local law or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as Amended.  Furthermore, we express no opinion with respect to compliance with antifraud laws, rules or regulations relating to securities or the offer and sale thereof; compliance with fiduciary duties by the Company’s Board of Directors or stockholders; compliance with safe harbors for disinterested Board of Director or shareholder approvals; compliance with state securities or blue sky laws except as specifically set forth below; compliance with the Investment Company Act of 1940; compliance with laws that place limitations on corporate distributions; or the enforceability of any covenant not to compete or any covenant in restraint of trade.

 

With regard to our opinion in paragraphs 1 and 2 below with respect to the good standing of the Company and Company Subsidiaries, we have relied solely upon certificates of the Secretaries of

 



 

State of the indicated jurisdictions as of a recent date, copies of which have been provided to you, and our opinions are rendered as of such dates, as applicable.

 

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 6 below, we have examined and relied upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company, to the effect that the consideration for all outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company was received by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Board of Directors resolutions and any plan or agreement relating to the issuance of such shares, and we have undertaken no independent verification with respect thereto.

 

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 7 below concerning the agreements set forth on Schedule I (the “Material Agreements”), we express no opinion as to (i) financial covenants or similar provisions therein requiring financial calculations or determinations to ascertain compliance, (ii) provisions therein relating to the occurrence of a “material adverse event” or words of similar import, or (iii) any statement or writing that may constitute parol evidence bearing on interpretation or construction.

 

With regard to our opinion in paragraph 8 below with respect to pending or overtly threatened litigation, we have made an inquiry of the attorneys within this firm who have represented the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, examined and relied upon a certificate executed by an officer of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries covering such matters, and checked the records of this firm to ascertain that we are not acting as counsel of record for the Company or Company Subsidiaries in any such matter.  We have made no further investigation.

 

On the basis of the foregoing, in reliance thereon and with the foregoing qualifications, we are of the opinion that:

 

1.                                      Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing (except for Confer, which is not in good standing) under the laws of its state of incorporation.   [Note: if Confer is in good standing in California upon issuance of this opinion the carve out will be removed.]

 

2.                                      Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing under the laws of the respective states identified on Schedule II hereof.

 

3.                                      Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries has the organizational power to own or lease its current properties, as known to us, and conduct its business as, to our knowledge, it is presently conducted.

 

4.                                      Each of the Company and the Principal Stockholders has the corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction Agreements.

 

5.                                      Each of the Transaction Agreements has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Principal Stockholders and constitutes legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations of the Principal Stockholders.

 



 

6.                                      The Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) 30,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001, of which 19,721,199 shares are issued and outstanding, and (b) 3,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001, all of which have been designated Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $.001, of which 2,282,000 shares are issued and outstanding.  The outstanding shares of Common Stock and of Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.  To our knowledge, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges, preemptive rights or other rights presently outstanding to purchase any of the authorized but unissued capital stock of the Company, other than the conversion privileges of the Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock and 600,000 shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Company’s 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, of which (i) 196,708 shares of Common Stock are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and (ii) 403,292 shares of Common Stock are available for grant.

 

7.                                      The execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreements by the Company do not, and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements will not violate, conflict with, breach or constitute a default under (a) any provision of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) any governmental statute, rule or regulation which in our experience is typically applicable to transactions of the nature contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, (c) any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award which has been entered against the Company and of which we are aware, or (d) any of the Material Agreements listed on Schedule I, in each case to the extent the violation of which would materially and adversely affect the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

8.                                      To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, arbitration, or investigation pending or overtly threatened against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries before any federal, state, municipal, foreign or other court or governmental or administrative body or agency, or any private arbitration tribunal that questions the validity of, or which would otherwise have the effect of prohibiting the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, or that could reasonably be expected to result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on the Company and the Company Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

 

9.                                      The Merger and the Acquisition Agreement have each been duly approved by the Company by all requisite Board of Directors and stockholder action and, assuming all necessary Board of Directors and stockholder approvals on the part of Parent and the Merger Sub, upon acceptance for filing by the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of the Certificate of Merger, the Merger will become effective under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

This opinion is intended solely for your benefit and is not to be made available to or be relied upon by any other person, firm, or entity without our prior written consent.

 



 

Very truly yours,

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, Parent will deliver $16,000,000 (the “Escrow Deposit”) to the Escrow Agent, to be held and disbursed, as hereinafter provided and as provided in the Merger Agreement, to satisfy the obligations (if any) of the Escrow Participants to make payments with respect to claims made under Section 9 of the Merger Agreement, under Section 1.9 of the Merger Agreement, and as otherwise provided in the Merger Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties to the Merger Agreement desire that the Escrow Agent serve as escrow agent and the Escrow Agent desires to so serve, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Escrow Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Appointment.

 

(a)                                  Escrow Agent.  Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent hereby designate and appoint the Escrow Agent to serve as their escrow agent for the purposes set forth herein, and the Escrow

 



 

Agent hereby accepts such appointment under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

 

(b)                                 Stockholders’ Agent.  The Stockholders’ Agent represents and warrants to Parent and the Escrow Agent that the Escrow Participants have duly appointed the Stockholders’ Agent to act on behalf of such Escrow Participants in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Escrow Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including with respect to the signing of any documents and the taking of any actions necessary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Escrow Agreement on behalf of the Escrow Participants.  If either Parent or the Escrow Agent receives any certificate, notice, consent or instrument from the Stockholders’ Agent they are entitled to rely upon, and act in accordance with, such certificate, notice, consent or instrument in regards to the rights of such Escrow Participants.  If the person or entity named above as Stockholders’ Agent is removed or resigns, the Stockholders’ Agent will immediately give notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent, and such notice will identify the person or persons to replace the current Stockholders’ Agent.

 

2.                                       Escrow Fund.  Simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Escrow Agreement, Parent is depositing with the Escrow Agent the Escrow Deposit in immediately available funds.  The Escrow Agent shall hold the Escrow Deposit in escrow in the Escrow Account (as defined below), free and clear of any lien or encumbrance, against potential claims by Parent pursuant to Section 9 of the Merger Agreement and the obligations of the Escrow Participants under Section 1.9 of the Merger Agreement (collectively, “Claims”), and, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall invest and reinvest the Escrow Deposit, together with any proceeds thereof and earnings thereon (the “Escrow Fund”) as directed in Section 3.

 

3.                                       Investment of Escrow Fund.  During the term of this Escrow Agreement, the Escrow Fund shall be invested and reinvested by the Escrow Agent in (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the United States of America or any agency or instrumentality thereof, (ii) money market mutual funds backed by government issued or guaranteed securities, or (iii) such other investments as shall be directed jointly in a writing executed by Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Escrow Agent. In the absence of written investment instructions, the Escrow Fund shall be invested in the Wells Fargo Institutional Money Market Deposit Account (“IMMDA”), which is further described herein on Schedule 1.  Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent acknowledge that they have read and understand Schedule 1.  Periodic statements will be provided to Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent reflecting transactions executed on behalf of the Escrow Fund.  Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent, upon written request, will receive a statement of transaction details upon completion of any investment, reinvestment, or other transaction in the Escrow Fund without any additional cost.  The Escrow Agent shall have the right to liquidate any investments held in order to provide funds necessary to make required payments under this Escrow Agreement.  The Escrow Agent shall have no liability for any loss sustained as a result of any investment listed in (i) or (ii) above, as a result of any investment made pursuant to the joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent or as a result of any liquidation of any investment prior to its maturity or for the failure of the parties to give the Escrow Agent instructions to invest or reinvest the Escrow Fund.  Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is not providing investment supervision, recommendations, or advice.

4.                                       Disposition and Termination.

 

(a)                                  If the Escrow Agent receives joint written instructions at any time signed by both Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent directing the disposition of all or any portion of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall release from the Escrow Fund the amount set forth in such instructions as soon as practicable, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days (as defined hereinafter) after the date of the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such instructions.

 

(b)                                 If Parent seeks the release of all or a portion of the Escrow Fund during the period prior to the Final Distribution Date in connection with a Claim pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 9 or 1.9 of the Merger Agreement, Parent shall provide written notice concurrently to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Agent describing the Claim (a “Notice of Claim”), which Notice of Claim shall set forth the Claim in reasonable detail, including Parent’s good faith estimate of the amount of the Claim, and other evidence indicating that Parent is entitled to indemnification under Section 9 of the Merger Agreement or an adjustment of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.9 of the Merger Agreement.  The Escrow Agent will have no obligation to verify the validity of any Notice of Claim or that delivery of such Notice of Claim has been made by Parent to the Stockholders’ Agent.  The Escrow Agent shall release to Parent the amount set forth in such Notice of Claim from the Escrow Fund on the date that is ten (10) Business Days after the Escrow Agent’s receipt of such written Notice of Claim unless, within such ten (10) Business Day period, the Stockholders’ Agent provides written notice to Parent and the Escrow Agent disputing, in good faith, the validity or appropriateness of the release of such amount to Parent (the “Response Notice”).  In the event that the Escrow Agent receives a Response Notice from the Stockholders’ Agent within such 10-Business Day period disputing Parent’s right to all or any portion of the amount sought in the Notice of Claim, then the Escrow Agent shall (i) continue to hold the disputed portion of the Escrow Fund sought in such Notice of Claim (any such amounts, the “Reserved Amounts”), together with any portion of the Escrow Fund not subject to such Notice of Claim or Response Notice, (ii) release to Parent such non-disputed portion of the Escrow Fund sought in the Notice of Claim, and (iii) release such disputed portion of the Escrow Fund sought in the Notice of Claim upon receiving joint written instructions from Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent to effect such release.  If within fifteen (15) Business Days of Parent’s receipt of a Response Notice, Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent do not resolve any amount disputed in such Response Notice, then Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent will resolve any dispute in accordance with the procedures for resolving such disputes contained in the Merger Agreement.  Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall submit evidence of the final resolution of such dispute to the Escrow Agent within two (2) Business Days of the final resolution of such dispute, and the Escrow Agent shall disburse or retain the disputed amount in accordance with such resolution.

 

(c)                                  On [Insert date that is one year following the Effective Time] (the “Final Distribution Date”), the Escrow Agent shall release to the Stockholders’ Agent all amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund, if any, less any Reserved Amounts that would be required under Section 4(b) to satisfy pending or unresolved Claims properly asserted pursuant to a Notice of Claim received by the Escrow Agent prior to the Final Distribution Date.  Such funds shall be released pursuant to written instructions provided to the Escrow Agent by the Stockholders’ Agent (the “Final Distribution Instructions”).  The Escrow Agent shall distribute the final

 

3



 

payments to the Stockholders’ Agent by wire transfer to an account(s) specified for such purpose as indicated on Schedule 2 or to such account(s) as otherwise specified by the Final Distribution Instructions.

 

(d)                                 Any Reserved Amounts shall remain in escrow until the final resolution of the related Claims.  Following final resolution of any such Claims, the Reserved Amounts shall be released pursuant to the joint written instructions of Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent or in accordance with the final resolution of such dispute, which shall be submitted to the Escrow Agent by Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent within two (2) Business Days after such resolution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Notice of Claim relates to a Claim under Section 1.9 of the Merger Agreement and Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent have submitted the Claim to an accounting firm in accordance with Section 1.9(d) of the Merger Agreement, then the Escrow Agent will consider the determination of such accounting firm to be final and binding on the parties and upon receipt of such determination along with joint written instruction of Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent to disburse an amount of the Escrow Fund specified in such accounting firm determination, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the amount of such Claim to Parent in accordance with such accounting firm determination and joint instruction.

 

(e)                                  Upon the distribution of all amounts remaining in the Escrow Fund, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate.

 

(f)                                    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Escrow Agreement or the Merger Agreement, this Escrow Agreement and the deposit of the Escrow Deposit are without prejudice to and are not in limitation of any obligations of Parent, the Stockholders’ Agent, the Principal Stockholders or the Escrow Participants in respect to any of the covenants, representations or warranties of such parties contained in the Merger Agreement.

 

5.                                       Title and Interest.

 

The Escrow Agent shall hold and safeguard the Escrow Fund during the term of this Escrow Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Escrow Agreement and shall treat the Escrow Fund as escrowed amounts and not as property of Parent.  Title to the Escrow Funds held in the account maintained by the Escrow Agent (“Escrow Account”) shall not pass to the Stockholders’ Agent unless and until the time that the Escrow Agent is obligated to distribute such funds to the Stockholders’ Agent in accordance with this Escrow Agreement.  Any interest on, and any returns on investments or reinvestments of, the Escrow Fund, net of any tax payments under Section 10 of this Escrow Agreement, shall be allocated and paid to the party or parties receiving the principal portion of the Escrow Fund, pro rata based on the amount of such funds received by such party or parties on the relevant release date, or as the Parent and the Stockholders’ Agent shall otherwise instruct the Escrow Agent by joint written instruction.  Any and all necessary calculations and pro rata percentages pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall be included in the joint written instructions sent to the Escrow Agent by the Stockholders’ Agent and the Parent.

(f)                                    In the event that the Escrow Agent shall be uncertain as to its duties or rights hereunder or shall receive instructions, claims or demands from any party hereto which, in its reasonable opinion, conflict with any of the provisions of this Escrow Agreement, it shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action and its sole obligation shall be to keep safely all property held in the Escrow Fund until it shall be directed otherwise in writing by all of the other parties hereto or by a final order or judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Alternatively, the Escrow Agent may, at its option, file an interpleader action in any court of competent jurisdiction, and upon the filing thereof and deposit of the Escrow Fund with such court, the Escrow Agent shall be relieved of all liability as to the Escrow Fund and shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs incurred in commencing and maintaining any such interpleader action.

3.  Termination Policies.

 

(a)  Canadian Employee Severance Policy (as listed in Canada Employees Handbook). If the employee’s employment is terminated not for cause, the Company shall either give the employee notice of termination or pay in lieu and, if required under applicable statute, shall also pay the employee severance pay. Payments will be paid out on a pro-rated calculation based on length of service with the Company. From date of hire to one year of service, employees will receive two weeks of notice or pay in lieu. After the first year of service, employees will receive an additional one week of notice or pay in lieu for each year of service and, if required by applicable statute, also statutory severance pay. The payout will be prorated based on date of hire. In no event will an employee receive less than their minimum statutory entitlement.

 

(b)  United States Employee Severance Policy (as listed in U.S. Employee Handbook).  If the Employee’s employment is terminated not for cause, the Company shall pay the Employee severance pay. Severance will be paid out on a pro-rated calculation based on length of service with the Company. From date of hire to one year of service employees will receive two weeks of severance pay. After the first year of service, employees will receive an additional one week of severance pay for each year of service. The payout will be prorated based on date of hire. Severance payouts are at CEO’s discretion.
