Each such Company Award so assumed by Buyer under this Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions (including, if applicable, the vesting arrangements and other terms and conditions set forth in the Company Equity Plan and the applicable award agreement) as are in effect immediately prior to the Closing, except that (i) such award shall be exercisable for that number of whole shares of Buyer Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Buyer Common Stock, with cash being payable for any fractional share eliminated by such rounding) equal to the product of the number of shares of Company Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such award immediately prior to the Closing and the Actual Equity Exchange Ratio, (ii) the per share exercise price applicable to the shares of Buyer Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed award (if applicable) shall be equal to the quotient (rounded up to the next whole cent) obtained by dividing the exercise price per share of Company Common Stock at which such award was exercisable immediately prior to the Closing by the Actual Equity Exchange Ratio, and (iii) no assumed award may be exercised prior to the determination of the Actual Equity Exchange Ratio or “early exercised” (i.e., an assumed award may be exercised for shares of Buyer Common Stock only to the extent the assumed award is vested at the time of exercise pursuant to the applicable vesting schedule). Consistent with the terms of the Company Equity Plan and the documents governing the outstanding awards under such plan as in effect on the Agreement Date, the consummation of the Share Exchange and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall not terminate any of the outstanding Company Awards or accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such awards or the shares of Buyer Common Stock which shall be subject to those options upon Buyer’s assumption of the options in the Share Exchange. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the Actual Equity Exchange Ratio, Buyer shall issue to each Person who immediately prior to the Closing was a holder of an outstanding Company Award an electronic document evidencing the foregoing assumption of such award by Buyer. Notwithstanding the provisions of the foregoing, the Expense Fund Shares (as defined below) shall be withheld from being delivered to each Seller who holds shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing.

(c) In the event, following the Closing and prior to or upon the RSU Determination Date (as defined in the Company PRSUs), any assumed Company Option subject to any vesting terms does not become vested for any reason, and cannot thereafter become vested shares (e.g., due to forfeiture upon termination of service without effective acceleration), then each Eligible Seller shall be entitled to receive such Eligible Seller’s Forfeited Securities Pro Rata Share of the Forfeited Securities Pool (rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Buyer Common Stock) intended to be pursuant to Section 102 of the Israeli Tax Code (collectively, “Reallocated Forfeited Securities”). For the purposes of this Section 1.2(c):

(i) “Forfeited Securities Pool” means a number of RSUs (covering such number of shares of Buyer Common Stock), based on the Company’s standard form of time-based vesting RSU Agreement as reviewed by Buyer counsel, in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Forfeited Option RSU Equivalents in respect of all Forfeited Option Shares.

(ii) “Eligible Seller” means each Seller who has continuously provided services to the Buyer (or any Affiliate, as defined in the Company Equity Plan) since the Closing and is then currently providing services to the Buyer.

 

11


(iii) “Forfeited Option Shares” means the number of shares previously subject to the forfeited portion of any assumed Company Option (a “Forfeited Option”), as adjusted for the Actual Equity Exchange Ratio.

(iv) “Forfeited Option RSU Equivalents” means, with respect to each Forfeited Option, a number of restricted stock units in an amount as determined in accordance with the following formula:

 

X = [(A - B) x C] / A

where:   

X =

   the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock subject to Forfeited Option RSU Equivalents;

A =

   means the Buyer Stock Price Per Share (RSU Determination Date);

B =

   the exercise price for such Forfeited Option Shares under such Forfeited Option; and

C =

   the number Forfeited Option Shares under such Forfeited Option.

(v) “Forfeited Securities Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to an Eligible Seller, the percentage obtained by dividing (A) the sum of (I) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to such Eligible Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2(a) hereof plus (II) the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to such Eligible Seller upon assumption of Company Restricted Stock Grants and Company Options at the Closing pursuant to this Section 1.2(b) by (B) the sum of (I) the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to all Eligible Sellers pursuant to Section 1.2(a) hereof plus (II) the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to all Eligible Sellers upon assumption of Company Restricted Stock Grants and Company Options at the Closing pursuant to this Section 1.2(b).

With respect to each Eligible Seller who receives Reallocated Forfeited Securities by operation of this Section 1.2(c), such Reallocated Forfeited Securities shall be subject to the same vesting terms on a pro rated basis as the shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to such Eligible Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 1.2(a) and the shares of Buyer Common Stock issued to such Eligible Seller upon assumption of Company Restricted Stock Grants and Company Options at the Closing pursuant to this Section 1.2(b), mutatis mutandis, and in the proportion to the number of such shares of Buyer Common Stock vesting according to different schedules and subject to different acceleration terms. As soon as reasonably practicable after the determination of the number of Reallocated Forfeited Securities issuable to each Eligible Seller pursuant to the operation of this Section 1.2(c), Buyer shall issue to each Eligible Seller an electronic document evidencing the foregoing issuance of Reallocated Forfeited Securities by Buyer.

(d) At the Closing, the Buyer will cause a number of shares of Buyer’s Common Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying (a) 0.05 by (b) the Estimated Aggregate Non-Buyer Amount (the “Expense Fund Shares”) to be withheld from the shares otherwise to be delivered pursuant to Section 1.2(a) to the Escrow Agent on behalf of the Sellers who hold shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing. Such Expense Fund Shares shall be withheld from the Sellers pro rata based on the number of outstanding shares Company Capital Stock held by each

 

12


Seller. The cash value of the Expense Fund Shares (the “Expense Fund”) shall be available to compensate the Sellers’ Representative for any Agent Loss and the Expense Fund Shares will be held and the Expense Fund distributed in accordance with the terms of Section 9.7 hereof.

1.3 Closing. The consummation of the Share Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures, or at the offices of Fenwick & West LLP, Silicon Valley Center, 801 California Street, Mountain View, California, or at such other location as the parties hereto agree at 10:00 a.m. local time on (i) a date to be mutually agreed upon by the Buyer and the Seller’s Representative or (ii) the later of (a) February 21, 2014 and (b) the date that is three (3) Business Days after all of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE 7 of this Agreement have been satisfied or waived (other than those conditions which, by their terms, are intended to be satisfied at the Closing or on the Closing Date, as defined below). The date on which the Closing occurs is sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date.”

1.4 Total Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock to be issued by Buyer to the Sellers under the terms of this Agreement exceed (a) the Actual Aggregate Consideration Amount (taking into account the assumptions of the Company Awards pursuant to Section 1.2(b), excluding the Company PRSUs and the 264,878 performance-based restricted stock units for shares of Buyer Common Stock granted to Gur Shatz prior to the Agreement Date by the Buyer under substantially the same terms and conditions as those of the Company PRSUs, mutatis mutandis (the “Buyer-Issued PRSUs”)) or (b) twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Buyer Common Stock as of the Closing Date (taking into account the Company PRSUs and the Buyer-Issued PRSUs), it being the understanding of the parties that any consideration payable in excess of the foregoing limitations shall be paid to the Sellers in cash (in lieu of equity) as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(a) Adjustments. In the event of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into capital stock), reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change with respect to the Company Capital Stock or Buyer Common Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Closing, all references in this Agreement to specified numbers of shares of any class or series affected thereby, and all calculations provided for that are based upon numbers of shares of any class or series (or trading prices therefor) affected thereby, shall be equitably adjusted to the extent necessary to provide the parties the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, reorganization, reclassification, combination, recapitalization or other like change.

(b) Rights Not Transferable. The rights of the Company Securityholders under this Agreement as of immediately prior to the Closing are personal to each such securityholder and shall not be transferable for any reason otherwise than by operation of law, will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any attempted transfer of such right by any holder thereof (otherwise than as permitted by the immediately preceding sentence) shall be null and void.

(c) Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock will be issued in connection with the Share Exchange but, in lieu thereof, each holder of shares of Company Capital Stock who would otherwise be entitled to a fraction of a share of Buyer Common Stock (after aggregating for each particular stock certificate or instrument representing Company Capital Stock all fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock to be received by such holder) shall receive from Buyer an amount of cash (rounded down to the nearest whole cent) equal to the product of (i) such fraction and (ii) the Buyer Stock Price Per Share.

 

13


1.5 Tax Matters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.5, any consideration which a holder of Company 102 Shares, Company 102 Awards or Company 3(i) Options has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.2 in respect of such Company 102 Shares, Company 102 Awards or Company 3(i) Options, shall be transferred (or caused to be transferred) by Buyer directly to the Section 102 Trustee (with respect to the Company 102 Shares and Company 102 Awards), at the Closing (and with respect to any Company 102 Shares, pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2 above), in accordance with the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling (or the Israeli Section 102 Interim Tax Ruling, as applicable), if obtained, and shall be held in trust pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Israeli Tax Code (including Section 102 and Section 3(i) thereof, as applicable) and the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling (or the Israeli Section 102 Interim Tax Ruling, as applicable), if obtained. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.5 to the contrary, if any withholding or deduction of Taxes or other amounts is imposed by any jurisdiction other than Israel with respect to such Company 102 Shares, Company 102 Awards or Company 3(i) Options, the Payor shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the net consideration delivered to the holders thereof the amount of withholdings or deductions for Taxes required by Legal Requirements to be deducted and withheld.

1.6 No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.6, neither Buyer nor any party hereto shall be liable to any Person for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.7 No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Capital Stock or Company Options. The Shares of Buyer Common Stock issued or issuable under the terms of this Agreement shall be paid or payable in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Restricted Stock Grants, and Company Options. From and after the Closing, the holders of Company Securities shall cease to have any rights with respect to Company Capital Stock, Company Restricted Stock Grants, and Company Options. At the Closing, the stock transfer books of the Company shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Restricted Stock Grants, or Company Options which were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Closing. If, after the Closing, any instrument representing shares of Company Capital Stock, Company Restricted Stock Grant, or Company Options is presented to the Company or to Buyer for any reason, such instrument shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE 1.

1.8 Post-Closing Adjustment Based on Company Revenue.

(a) The Company and the Sellers shall deliver the proposed Estimated Company Closing 2013 Revenue Certificate to Buyer and the Sellers not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, setting forth the Company’s and the Sellers’ collective estimate of the 2013 Revenue Amount and the corresponding calculations of the (i) Actual Aggregate Net Consideration Amount, (ii) Actual Aggregate Consideration Value, (iii) Actual Aggregate Seller Amount, (iv) Actual Equity Exchange Ratio, (v) Buyer Stock Price Per Share, (vi) Estimated Equity Exchange Ratio, in each case (except for the Buyer Stock Price Per Share) prepared in accordance with GAAP (consistent with past practice) with reasonable explanation and documentation which support such estimate and calculations.

(b) Within forty-five (45) days after the Closing if the Closing occurs on December 31, 2013, and within thirty (30) days after the Closing if the Closing occurs after December 31, 2013, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to the Seller Representative a certificate (the “Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate”) executed by a duly authorized officer of Buyer setting forth Buyer’s estimate of the 2013 Revenue Amount and the corresponding calculations of the (i) Actual Aggregate Net Consideration Amount, (ii) Actual Aggregate Consideration Value, (iii) Actual Aggregate Seller Amount,

 

14


(iv) Actual Equity Exchange Ratio, (v) Buyer Stock Price Per Share, (vi) Estimated Equity Exchange Ratio, in each case (except for the Buyer Stock Price Per Share) prepared in accordance with GAAP (consistent with past practice).

(c) The Seller Representative may object to the 2013 Revenue Amount calculations set forth in the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate by providing written notice of such objection to Buyer, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Buyer’s delivery of the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate (the “Notice of Objection” and the “Objection Period”, respectively). Buyer shall provide Ernst & Young LLP, Buyer’s independent registered public auditing firm (the “Reviewing Accountant”) with a copy of the Notice of Objection and the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate within two (2) days of such Notice of Objection. Seller Representative’s failure to timely provide the Notice of Objection shall be deemed an acceptance by Seller Representative (on behalf of all Sellers) of the 2013 Revenue Amount calculations set forth in the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate. The Seller Representative and its representatives and agents shall be given reasonable access (including electronic access, to the extent available), at any time prior to the expiry of the Objection Period, during Buyer’s and/or the ’Company’s (as the case may be) normal business hours (or such other times as the parties may agree) to the books and records of the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary, as they may reasonably require, and to the books and records of the Buyer and its other consolidated direct or indirect subsidiaries relevant to that portion of the 2013 Revenue Amount received by the Buyer or any such subsidiary, and reasonable access during normal business hours to such personnel or representatives of the Company, the Israeli Subsidiary and Buyer (and such other applicable subsidiaries) (including but not limited to accountants and the individuals responsible for preparing the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate) for the purposes of (i) resolving any disputes or responding to any matters or inquiries raised concerning the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate and/or the calculation of the 2013 Revenue Amount as set forth in the Buyer Calculated 2013 Revenue Certificate.

(d) If the Seller Representative timely provides the Notice of Objection, then the parties shall confer in good faith for a period of up to three (3) days following Buyer’s timely receipt of the Notice of Objection, in an attempt to resolve any disagreement and any resolution by them shall be in writing and shall be final and binding.

(e) If, after such three (3)-day period, the Seller Representative and Buyer cannot resolve any such disagreement, then the Reviewing Accountant shall review the calculation of 2013 Revenue Amount. After review of such calculations and other information that the Reviewing Accountant in its sole discretion determines is relevant, the Reviewing Accountant shall promptly determine the 2013 Revenue Amount (and the parties shall instruct the Reviewing Accountant to make such determination within ten (10) days following submission) and a reasonably detailed explanation of the basis for such determination and such determination and explanation shall be final and binding on the parties.

(f) If the Actual 2013 Revenue Amount is less than the Estimated 2013 Revenue Amount, then each Seller will severally but not jointly, based on such Seller’s Pro Rata Share, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, and Buyer shall have the right to retain, from the Post-Closing Adjustment Initial Holdback Amount, a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to such negative Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, based on the Buyer Stock Price Per Share. If the Actual 2013 Revenue Amount is greater than the Estimated 2013 Revenue Amount, then Buyer shall deliver (or caused to be delivered) to each Seller, as soon as reasonably practicable, such number of shares of Buyer Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole number) equal to such positive Post-Closing Adjustment Amount, based on the Buyer Stock Price Per Share, and cash in lieu of fractional shares of Buyer Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.4(c) above. Any such upward or downward adjustment in respect of the 2013 Revenue Amount will be reflected in the calculation of the Post-Closing Adjustment Final Holdback Amount to be distributed to the Sellers after the Closing pursuant to clause (ii) of Section 1.2(a).

1.9 Tax Consequences. Buyer makes no representations or warranties to the Company or to any Company Securityholder regarding the Tax treatment of the Share Exchange, or any of the Tax consequences to the Seller or any other Company Securityholder of this Agreement, the Share Exchange or any of the other transactions or agreements contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges that the Seller and the Company Securityholders are relying solely on their own Tax advisors in connection with this Agreement, the Share Exchange and the other transactions and agreements contemplated hereby.

1.10 Certain Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the respective Company Securityholder when due, and each Company Securityholder shall, at its own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees.

(a) Withholding Rights. Each Payor shall be entitled to (i) deduct and withhold from the Estimated Aggregate Net Consideration Amount and the Actual Aggregate Net Consideration Amount and from any other payments otherwise required to be made to any Person pursuant to this Agreement (each, a “Payee”) such amounts in shares of Buyer Common Stock (based on the Buyer Stock Price Per Share) as such Payor is required to deduct and withhold from consideration due to such Payee or in connection therewith with respect to any such deliveries and payments under the Code or any provision of state, local, provincial or foreign Tax law and (ii) request any necessary Tax forms, including IRS Form W-9 or the appropriate series of Form W-8, as applicable, or any other proof of exemption from withholding or any similar information, from any Company Securityholder and any other recipient of any payment hereunder. Each Payor shall promptly pay the amount deducted or withheld to the proper Tax authority in accordance with the applicable Legal Requirements. To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been delivered and paid to such holders in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. In the case of any amounts withheld pursuant to any Legal Requirement, the withholding party shall promptly provide to the Payee from which such amounts were withheld or deducted written confirmation of the amount so withheld or deducted. Buyer shall be entitled to sell the portion of the total shares of Buyer Common Stock otherwise deliverable to a Company Securityholder that is required to enable the relevant Payor to comply with such deduction or withholding requirement. Buyer or the Company shall notify the relevant Company Securityholder that such sale and withholding or deduction was made and remit to such Company Securityholder any balance of the proceeds of such sale not applied to the payment of Taxes less any costs or expenses incurred by the relevant Payor in connection with such sale.

(b) The Company and the Sellers may prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling permitting any Sellers who elect to become a party to such a tax ruling (the “Electing Holder”), to defer any applicable Israeli tax with respect to any consideration in Buyer Common Stock that such Electing Holder will receive pursuant to this Agreement until the sale, transfer or other conveyance for cash of such Buyer Common Stock by such Electing Holder or such other date set forth in Section 104(h) of the Israeli Tax Code (the 104(h) Tax Ruling). Buyer shall cooperate with the Company and the Sellers and their Israeli counsel with respect to the preparation and filing of such application and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the 104(h) Tax Ruling provided that the 104(h) Tax Ruling shall not impose any restrictions or obligations on the Buyer or the Company or the Israeli Subsidiary and that any costs associated with the application for the 104(h) Tax Ruling shall be fully borne by the Sellers. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly take, or cause to be taken, all action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under

 

16


applicable law to obtain the 104(h) Tax Ruling, as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company and the Sellers shall not make any application to the ITA with respect to any matter relating to the 104(h) Tax Ruling without first consulting with the Buyer’s Israeli legal counsel and granting Buyer’s legal counsel the opportunity to review and comment on the draft application, and will inform Buyer’s counsel of the content of any discussions and meetings relating thereto. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.10(a) above, if the 104(h) Tax Ruling (or an interim approval confirming among others that Buyer and anyone acting on its behalf shall be exempt from Israeli withholding Tax in relation to any payments made with respect to such Electing Holder (the “104(h) Interim Tax Ruling”)) shall be received and delivered to Buyer prior to the applicable withholding date, then the provisions of the 104(h) Tax Ruling shall apply and all applicable withholding and reporting procedures shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the 104(h) Tax Ruling and Section 104(h) of the Israeli Tax Code.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.10, any consideration which a holder of Company 102 Shares, Company 102 Awards or Company 3(i) Options has the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.2 in respect of such Company 102 Shares, Company 102 Awards or Company 3(i) Options, shall be transferred (or caused to be transferred) by Buyer directly to the Section 102 Trustee (with respect to the Company 102 Shares and Company 102 Awards), at the Closing (and with respect to any Company 102 Shares, pursuant to the terms of Section 1.2 above), in accordance with the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling (or the Israeli Section 102 Interim Tax Ruling, as applicable), if obtained, and shall be held in trust by the Section 102 Trustee, as applicable, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Israeli Tax Code (including Section 102 and Section 3(i) thereof, as applicable) and the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling (or the Israeli Section 102 Interim Tax Ruling, as applicable), if obtained. The Section 102 Trustee shall be responsible for holding such consideration, in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 102 or Section 3(i) of the Israeli Tax Code (as applicable), the Israeli 102 Tax Ruling (or the Israeli Section 102 Interim Tax Ruling, as applicable) and the trust documents governing the trust held by the Section 102 Trustee.

1.11 Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, the officers and directors of the Company are fully authorized, in the name and on behalf of the Company or otherwise, to take all lawful action necessary or desirable to accomplish such purpose or acts, so long as such action is not inconsistent with this Agreement.

Subject to the disclosures set forth in the disclosure letter delivered by the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary (on behalf of the Sellers) to Buyer concurrently with the parties’ execution of this Agreement (the “Company Disclosure Letter”) (which disclosures shall apply to and qualify the Section and, if applicable, the Subsection of this ARTICLE 2 to which it refers, provided, however, that any disclosure made therein shall apply to and qualify any other Section or Subsection of this ARTICLE 2 where it is readily apparent on the face of the disclosures), and each of which disclosures shall also be deemed to be representations and warranties made by the Sellers to Buyer under this ARTICLE 2), the Company and the Israeli Subsidiary each represents and warrants to Buyer, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows (any references to the Company in this ARTICLE 2 shall be deemed to include, to the extent applicable, the Israeli Subsidiary), whether or not the representations herein explicitly refer to the Israeli Subsidiary):

2.1 Organization, Standing, Power and Subsidiaries.

(a) The Company and the Israeli Subsidiary are corporations duly organized, validly existing and, if applicable, in good standing under the laws of their jurisdiction of organization. The Company and the Israeli Subsidiary have the corporate power to own, operate and lease their properties and to conduct their respective business and are duly qualified to do business and, as applicable, are in good standing in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate with any such other failures, would reasonably be expected to be material to the Company or the Israeli Subsidiary. Except for the Israeli Subsidiary, the Company has and, since its inception has had, no Subsidiaries or any equity or ownership interest, whether direct or indirect, in any Person. The Company is the owner of all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Israeli Subsidiary, free and clear of all Encumbrances, and all such shares are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in that certain Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated November 5, 2009, by and among the Company and certain of its stockholders (the “Company Rights Agreement”), are not subject to any preemptive right or right of first refusal created by Legal Requirements, the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or other equivalent organizational or governing documents, as applicable, of the Israeli Subsidiary or any Contract to which the Israeli Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound. There are no rights to purchase shares of capital stock or other securities convertible or exercisable for capital stock of the Israeli Subsidiary.

(b) Neither the Company nor the Israeli Subsidiary is the subject of any proceeding seeking liquidation, reorganization or similar relief under any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or has applied for or consented to the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, sequestrator, conservator or similar official for the Company or the Israeli Subsidiary or for a substantial part of its assets.

The number of such shares set forth as being so owned by such Person constitutes the entire interest of such person in the issued and outstanding capital stock or voting securities of the Company. All issued and outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and, except as set forth in the Company Rights

 

18


Agreement, are free of any Encumbrances, preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or “put” or “call” rights created by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or any Contract to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound. The Company has never declared or paid any dividends on any shares of Company Capital Stock. There is no Liability for dividends accrued and unpaid by the Company. Except as set forth in the Company Rights Agreement, the Company is not under any obligation to register under the Securities Act any shares of Company Capital Stock or any other securities of the Company, whether currently outstanding or that may subsequently be issued.

In addition, Schedule 2.2(b) and Schedule 1.1(gg) of the Company Disclosure Letter indicates which holders of outstanding Company Awards are not employees of the Company (including non-employee directors, consultants, advisory board members, vendors, service providers or other similar persons), including a description of the relationship between each such Person and the Company. Correct and complete copies of each Company Equity Plan, all agreements and instruments relating to or issued under each Company Equity Plan (including executed copies of all Contracts relating to each Company Award and the shares of Company Capital Stock purchased under such option) have been provided to Buyer’s counsel, and such plans and Contracts have not been amended, modified or supplemented since being provided to Buyer’s counsel, and except as set forth in Schedule 2.2(b) of the Company Disclosure Letter, there are no agreements, understandings or commitments to amend, modify or supplement such plans or Contracts in any case from those provided to Buyer’s counsel.

(a) by mutual written consent duly authorized by Buyer, the holders of majority of Shares then outstanding (a “Sellers’ Majority”) and the board of directors of the Company;

(b) by either Buyer or a Sellers’ Majority, if the Closing shall not have occurred by June 30, 2014 or such other date that Buyer, on the one hand, and a Sellers’ Majority, on the other hand, may agree upon in writing (the “Termination Date”); and provided, further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this clause (b) of Section 8.1 shall not be available to any party whose breach of any covenant or agreement hereunder will have been the principal cause of, or will have directly resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Termination Date; it being understood that the Company, the Subsidiary and the Sellers shall be considered collectively with the Sellers’ Majority for such purpose;

(c) by either Buyer, on the one hand, or a Sellers’ Majority, on the other hand, if any permanent injunction or other Order of a Governmental Entity of competent authority preventing the consummation of the Share Exchange shall have become final and nonappealable;

(d) by Buyer, if it is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement, if (i) the Company, the Israeli Subsidiary or any Sellers shall have materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein or there shall have been a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the Company or the Israeli Subsidiary, provided, that, such material breach or Material Adverse Effect shall not have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by the Company of written notice of such material breach or Material Adverse Effect and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such material breach or Material Adverse Effect would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 to be satisfied, or (ii) the Company or the Sellers shall have materially breached Section 5.1; or

(e) a Sellers’ Majority, if the Company, the Subsidiary and the Sellers are not in material breach of their respective obligations under this Agreement, if Buyer shall have materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein and such breach shall not have been cured within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt by Buyer of written notice of such material breach and if not cured within the timeframe above and at or prior to the Closing, such material breach would result in the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 to be satisfied.

8.2 Effect of Termination. In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of Buyer, the Company, the Israeli Subsidiary or their respective officers, directors, stockholders or Affiliates; provided, however, that (a) the provisions of this Section 8.2 (Effect of Termination), and ARTICLE 10 (General Provisions) shall remain in full force and effect and survive any termination of this Agreement and (b) nothing herein shall relieve any party hereto from liability in connection with any willful breach of the Agreement prior to its termination.

 

59


8.3 Amendment. Subject to the provisions of applicable Legal Requirements, the parties hereto may amend this Agreement by authorized action at any time pursuant to an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer, on the one hand, and the Company, the Israeli Subsidiary and a Sellers’ Majority, on the other hand (provided that after such approval, no amendment shall be made which by law requires further approval by such stockholders without such further stockholder approval). To the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative may cause this Agreement to be amended at any time after the Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed on behalf of Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative.

ARTICLE 9

HOLDBACK FUND AND INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 Holdback Fund.

(a) At the Closing, Buyer will holdback the Indemnity Holdback Amount (for purposes of this calculation, using the Indemnity Holdback Percentage) (such holdback of shares of Buyer Common Stock, the “Holdback Fund”), with such Holdback Fund to be available to compensate Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person (as such term is defined in Section 9.2 below)) for Indemnifiable Damages (as such term is defined in Section 9.2 below) pursuant to the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Parties (as defined below) and subject to the limitations and provisions of this Article IV and Sections 2.20 (No Liability) and 3.5 (No Liability); it being understood that vested shares that would be issuable to a Seller under Section 1.2(a) shall first be allocated to the Holdback Fund prior to being allocated to shares to be issued to such Seller pursuant thereto. Buyer shall retain the Holdback Fund until 11:59 p.m. California time on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing (the “Holdback Release Date”). Except to the extent there is a cancellation of shares of Buyer Common Stock held in the Holdback Fund in connection with Indemnifiable Damages in accordance with the terms hereof, shares of Buyer Common Stock held in the Holdback Fund shall be treated by the Buyer as issued and outstanding stock of Buyer, and the Indemnifying Person shall be entitled to all rights associated with such Buyer Common Stock including to exercise voting rights and to receive dividends with respect to such shares. No portion (nor all) of the Holdback Fund, nor any beneficial interest therein, may be pledged, subjected to any Encumbrance, sold, assigned or transferred, by any Indemnifying Party, or be taken or reached by any legal or equitable process in satisfaction of any debt or other Liability of any Indemnifying Party, in each case prior to the disbursement of the Holdback Fund to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of any Indemnifying Party in accordance with Section 9.1(b) below, except that each Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assign such Indemnifying Party’s rights to the shares of Buyer Common Stock withheld in the Holdback Fund (the “Holdback Shares”) by will, by the laws of intestacy or by other operation of law.

 

60


(b) As soon as practicable and in any event no later than five (5) Business Days following the Holdback Release Date, Buyer will disburse to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of each Indemnifying Party such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Fund less (i) that portion of the Holdback Fund previously forfeited to Buyer in satisfaction of claims for indemnification in accordance with this ARTICLE 9 and (ii) that portion of the Holdback Fund that is determined, in the reasonable judgment of Buyer (acting in good faith), to be necessary to satisfy all unsatisfied or disputed claims for indemnification specified in any Claim Certificate (as defined in, and pursuant to the requirements of, Section 9.5 below) delivered to Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative prior to the Holdback Release Date in accordance with this ARTICLE 9, if any. Any portion of the Holdback Fund held following the Holdback Release Date with respect to pending but unresolved claims for indemnification that is not awarded to Buyer upon the resolution of such claims shall be disbursed to the Escrow Agent for the benefit of the Indemnifying Parties as soon as practicable and in any event within five (5) Business Days following resolution of such claims and in accordance with each such Indemnifying Party’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Fund.

(c) The per share value of any shares of Buyer Common Stock used to satisfy any Indemnifiable Damages under this ARTICLE 9 shall be the Buyer Stock Price Per Share.

9.2 Indemnification. Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 9, from and after the Closing Date, the Sellers (the “Indemnifying Parties”) shall severally and not jointly, in proportion to each such Indemnifying Parties’ Pro Rata Share, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its Affiliates (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as an “Indemnified Person” and collectively as “Indemnified Persons”) from and against any and all losses (other than loss of profits), Liabilities, damages (other than unrealized diminution in value), fees, Taxes, interest, costs and expenses, including reasonable costs of investigation and defense and reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, experts and other professionals, directly or indirectly, whether or not due to a third-party claim, and only to the extent actually suffered or incurred (collectively, “Indemnifiable Damages”), in each case, to the extent resulting from (i) any failure of any representation or warranty made by the Company in this Agreement or the Company Disclosure Letter (including any exhibit or schedule to the Company Disclosure Letter) to be true and correct as of the Agreement Date and as of the Closing Date as though such representation or warranty were made as of the Closing Date (except in the case of representations and warranties which by their terms speak only as of a specific date or dates, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such date), (ii) any failure of any certification, representation or warranty made by the Company in any certificate (other than the Spreadsheet) delivered to Buyer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement to be true and correct as of the date such certificate is delivered to Buyer, (iii) any breach of or default in connection with any of the covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by the Company contemplated by the Agreement, (iv) any inaccuracies in the Spreadsheet (including any omission of any information that should have been included in the Spreadsheet), (v) without duplication, any amount that would have been recovered under the Post-Closing Adjustment Amount but for the zero (0) limitation, (vi) any Transaction Expenses not factored into the calculation of the Actual Aggregate Net Consideration Amount, and (vii) with respect to any Seller separately, any failure of any representation or warranty made by such Seller in Sections 3.1 through 3.5 (the “Seller Representations”); provided, however, that, with respect to the matter discussed in correspondence between Gur Shatz, counsel for the Buyer, and counsel for the Company on November 7, 2013 (the “Correspondence Matter”), the Indemnifying Parties shall indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties for 50% of the Indemnifiable Damages resulting from the Correspondence Matter in amounts, together with other Indemnifiable Damages, in excess of the Aggregate Threshold, and, for the avoidance of doubt, the amounts of such

 

61


indemnification for the Correspondence Matter, in combination with all other claims made pursuant to this Section 9, shall not be in excess of the Holdback Fund, and (viii) with respect to Gur Shatz separately, any failure or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Gur Shatz in Sections 3.7 (the “Special Authority Representations and Covenants”). For the avoidance of doubt, all the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, time limitations) shall apply to the special indemnification for Indemnifiable Damages resulting from the Correspondence Matter, mutatis mutandis. Materiality standards or qualifications, and qualifications by reference to the defined term “Material Adverse Effect” in any representation, warranty or covenant shall only be taken into account in determining whether a breach of or default in connection with such representation, warranty or covenant (or failure of any representation or warranty to be true and correct) exists, and shall not be taken into account in determining the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages with respect to such breach, default or failure to be true and correct. The Indemnifying Parties shall not have any right of contribution, indemnification or right of advancement from the Company, the Israeli Subsidiary or Buyer with respect to any Indemnifiable Damages claimed by an Indemnified Person (unless for any Indemnifiable Damage resulting of, arising out of, relating to or in connection with any breach of any covenant or agreement under this agreement or any other Transaction Document by Buyer or any other Indemnified Person). Subject to the limitations set forth in this ARTICLE 9 and Section 2.20 (No Liability) and Section 3.5 (No Liability), in the event that Indemnifiable Damages with respect to Fundamental Claims (as defined below) exceed the amount of the Holdback Fund, the balance of such Indemnifiable Damages in excess of the Holdback Fund (if any) shall be borne by the Indemnifying Parties, in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (it being understood that recourse shall be made first with the Holdback Fund in accordance with their Pro Rata Share). For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Indemnifiable Damages” shall not include any incidental or consequential damages of Buyer and/or any other Indemnified Person as a result of any of the causes described in subsections (i) through (vii) of this Section but shall include such damages (including loss of profits and dimunition in value) in a third-party claim to the extent of Buyer’s, any Indemnified Person’s, the Company’s, or the Israeli Subsidiary’s liability therefor, without duplication (it being understood that any realized diminution in value must still be included as “Indemnifiable Damages” as otherwise provided above).

9.3 Indemnifiable Damage Threshold; Other Limitations.

(a) If the Share Exchange is consummated, recovery from the Holdback Fund shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnity obligations under this Agreement for the matters listed in clauses (i) and (ii) of the first sentence of Section 9.2 (the “General Claims”), except (i) in the case of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by any Person and (ii) any failure of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.1(c) (Capital Structure), Section 2.2(g) (Authority; Noncontravention) and Section 2.16 (Transaction Fees) and, with respect to each such Seller, the representations and warranties of such Seller contained in the Seller Representations (collectively, the “Fundamental Representations”) to be true and correct as aforesaid.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Indemnified Person may make a claim against the Holdback Fund in respect of any claim for Indemnifiable Damages arising out of, resulting from or in connection with clauses (i) - (vi) of the first sentence of Section 9.2 (and that does not involve (i) fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation by any Person, or (ii) Fundamental Representations) unless and until Indemnifiable Damages are in an aggregate amount greater than $150,000.00 (the “Aggregate Threshold”), and a Claim Certificate to such effect has been delivered, in which case the Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification from the General Holdback Fund for all Indemnifiable Damages in excess of the amount of the Aggregate Threshold. The Aggregate Threshold shall not apply to any other Indemnifiable Damages.

 

62


(c) For the avoidance of doubt, in the case of any failure of any of the representations and warranties contained in Section 2.9 (Intellectual Property) and Section 2.10 (Taxes) (such representations and warranties collectively, the “Special Representations” and, such claims collectively, the “Special Claims”) to be true and correct as aforesaid, recovery from the Holdback Fund shall constitute the sole and exclusive remedy for the indemnity obligations under this Agreement.

(d) In the case of (a) the matters listed in clauses (iii) - (vii) of the first sentence of Section 9.2, (b) any failure of any of the Fundamental Representations to be true and correct as aforesaid or (c) fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation (collectively, the “Fundamental Claims”), after Indemnified Persons have exhausted or made claims upon all shares of Buyer Common Stock in the Holdback Fund (after taking into account all other claims for indemnification from the Holdback Fund made by Indemnified Persons and in accordance with their Pro Rata Share), each Indemnifying Party shall be solely liable for such Person’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom; provided, however, that each Indemnifying Party’s liability for all Indemnifiable Damages under this clause (d) of ARTICLE 9 shall be limited to the aggregate consideration (in shares of Buyer Common Stock) actually received by such Indemnifying Party minus such Person’s Pro Rata Share of all other claims for indemnification from the Holdback Fund made by Indemnified Persons, provided, that, there shall be no maximum liability applicable to an Indemnifying Party in the case of fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation committed by such Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the case of any failure or breach the Special Authority Representations and Covenants, Gur Shatz shall be solely liable for the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (i) no Indemnified Person may make a claim against the Holdback Fund in respect of any claim for Indemnifiable Damages resulting from such failure unless and until Indemnifiable Damages resulting from such failure are in an aggregate amount greater than $150,000.00 (the “Special Threshold”), and a Claim Certificate to such effect has been delivered, in which case the Indemnified Person may make claims for indemnification from the General Holdback Fund in excess of the amount of the Special Threshold and (ii) Gur Shatz’s liability for all Indemnifiable Damages with respect thereto (together with any other Indemnifiable Damages which may be counted in accordance with the terms of this Agreement towards his pro rata share of the Holdback Fund) shall be limited to his pro rata share of the Holdback Fund. It is hereby agreed and understood that any amount counted for the Special Threshold shall not be counted for the Aggregate Threshold.

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, for purposes of computing the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages incurred by an Indemnified Person, there shall be deducted an amount equal to the amount of:

(i) any insurance proceeds actually received by any Indemnified Person from any third-party insurer in connection with such Indemnifiable Damages within one year of the date that the claim for Indemnifiable Damages is settled pursuant to Sections 9.5 through 9.6; provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to claim, seek or otherwise obtain any such insurance proceeds to which it may be entitled; and

(ii) indemnity or contribution amounts actually received by any Indemnified Person from third parties (net of applicable costs of recovery or collection thereof) in connection with such Indemnifiable Damages within one year of the date that the claim for Indemnifiable Damages is settled pursuant to Sections 9.5 through 9.6; provided, however, that no Indemnified Person shall have any obligation to claim, seek or otherwise obtain any such indemnity or contribution amounts to which it may be entitled.

(f) In the case of claims arising out of, resulting from or in connection with fraud, willful breach or intentional misrepresentation committed by an Indemnifying Party, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights or remedies of Buyer or any other Indemnified Person against such Indemnifying Party for Indemnifiable Damages.

 

63


(g) Exclusive Remedy. The indemnification remedies set forth in this ARTICLE 9 shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedies of all Indemnified Persons against the Indemnifying Parties arising out of, resulting from or in connection with, this Agreement, any other Transaction Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

9.4 Period for Claims Against Holdback Fund. The period during which claims for Indemnifiable Damages may be made (the “Claims Period”) against the Holdback Fund for Indemnifiable Damages to the extent resulting from the matters under this Agreement, General Claims, Special Claims, and Fundamental Claims shall commence at the Closing and terminate on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, such portion of the Holdback Fund as in the reasonable judgment of Buyer (acting in good faith) to be necessary to satisfy any unresolved or unsatisfied claims for Indemnifiable Damages specified in any Claim Certificate delivered to Buyer and Stockholder’s Agent prior to the expiration of the Claims Period, shall remain in the Holdback Fund until such claims for Indemnifiable Damages have been resolved or satisfied in accordance with the terms hereof, following which such amounts will be released and distributed in accordance with Section 9.1(b). The availability of the Holdback Fund to indemnify the Indemnified Persons will be determined without regard to any right to indemnification that any Indemnifying Party may have in his or her capacity as an officer, director, employee, or agent of the Company and no such Indemnifying Party will be entitled to any indemnification from the Company, the Company or the Israeli Subsidiary for amounts paid for indemnification under this ARTICLE 9.

9.5 Claims.

(a) On or before the last day of the Claims Period, Buyer may deliver to the Sellers’ Representative a certificate signed by any officer of Buyer (a “Claim Certificate”):

(i) stating that an Indemnified Person has incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, or in good faith believes that it may incur, pay, reserve or accrue, Indemnifiable Damages (or that with respect to any Tax matters, that any Tax Authority may raise such matter in audit of Buyer or its subsidiaries, which could give rise to Indemnifiable Damages);

(ii) stating the amount of such Indemnifiable Damages (which, in the case of Indemnifiable Damages not yet incurred, paid, reserved or accrued, may be the maximum amount believed by Buyer in good faith to be incurred, paid, reserved, accrued or demanded by a third party); and

(iii) specifying in reasonable detail (based upon the information then possessed by Buyer) the individual items of such Indemnifiable Damages included in the amount so stated and the nature of the claim to which such Indemnifiable Damages are related.

No delay in providing such Claim Certificate within the Claims Period shall affect an Indemnified Person’s rights hereunder, unless (and then only to the extent that) the Sellers’ Representative or the Indemnifying Parties are materially prejudiced thereby. At the time of delivery of any Claim Certificate to the Sellers’ Representative pursuant to Section 9.5(a), a duplicate copy of such Claim Certificate shall be delivered to Buyer by or on behalf of Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person).

 

64


9.6 Resolution of Objections to Claims.

(a) If the Sellers’ Representative does not contest, by written notice to Buyer, any claim or claims by Buyer made in any Claim Certificate within the thirty (30)-day period following receipt of the Claim Certificate, then Buyer shall reclaim and Buyer shall distribute a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock from the Holdback Fund having a total value equal to the amount of any Indemnifiable Damages corresponding to such claim or claims as set forth in such Claim Certificate; provided, that, the per share value of any shares of Buyer Common Stock used to satisfy any Claims under this ARTICLE 9 shall be the Buyer Price Per Share.

(b) If the Sellers’ Representative objects in writing to any claim or claims by Buyer made in any Claim Certificate within such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall attempt in good faith for twenty (20) days after Buyer’s receipt of such written objection to resolve such objection. If Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative shall so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by both parties. The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such memorandum and Buyer shall distribute an amount of cash and a number of the Holdback Shares from the Holdback Fund in accordance with the terms of such memorandum.

(c) If no such agreement can be reached during the twenty (20) day period, either Buyer or the Sellers’ Representative may, by written notice to the other, demand arbitration of the dispute regarding the Claim Certificate pursuant to the terms of Section 10.10(a) hereof.

9.7 Sellers’ Representative and Expense Escrow Fund.

(a) At the Closing, Gur Shatz shall be constituted and appointed as the Sellers’ Representative. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Sellers’ Representative” shall mean the agent for and on behalf of the Indemnifying Parties to: (i) execute, as Sellers’ Representative, this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and any agreement or instrument entered into or delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (ii) give and receive notices, instructions, and communications permitted or required under this Agreement, or any other Transaction Document, for and on behalf of any Indemnifying Parties, to or from Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person) relating to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or any of the transactions and other matters contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent that this Agreement expressly contemplates that any such notice or communication shall be given or received by each Indemnifying Parties individually); (iii) review, negotiate and agree to and authorize Buyer to reclaim an amount of cash and/or number of shares of Buyer Common Stock from the Holdback Fund in satisfaction of claims asserted by Buyer (on behalf of itself or any other Indemnified Person, including by not objecting to such claims) pursuant to this ARTICLE 9; (iv) object to such claims pursuant to Section 9.6; (v) consent or agree to, negotiate, enter into, or, if applicable, choose to contest, prosecute or defend, settlements and compromises of, and demand arbitration and comply with orders of courts and awards of arbitrators with respect to, such claims and any other claims under any of the Transaction Document (including, but not limited to, any Company Award assumed or issued by the Buyer in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of the number of “Eligible Shares” and any other condition relating to the “Acquisition” (as provided for in the the Company PRSUs and the holders of Buyer-Issued PRSUs) or any matter related to the calculation of grants under the Additional PRSU Agreements related to the Company PRSUs and the holders of Buyer-Issued PRSUs), resolve any such claims, take any actions in connection with the resolution of any dispute relating hereto or to the transactions contemplated hereby in accordance with Section 10.10, and take or forego any or all actions permitted or required of any Indemnifying Parties or necessary in the judgment of the Sellers’ Representative for the accomplishment of the foregoing and all of the other terms, conditions and limitations of this Agreement; (vi) consult with legal counsel, independent public

(b) The Person serving as the Sellers’ Representative (i) may be replaced from time to time by the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock held in the Holdback Fund subject to Buyer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (ii) shall be immediately replaced as agent, by the holders of a majority in interest of the aggregate number of shares of Buyer Common Stock held in the Holdback Fund, and subject to Buyer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in the following events: (a) in case any proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, is instituted by or against the Sellers’ Representative seeking to adjudicate it bankrupt or insolvent by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or seeking liquidation, winding up, stay of proceedings, arrangement with creditors, protection, or relief of it or its debts under any Legal Requirements, and either any such proceedings have not been dismissed within thirty (30) days, or the Sellers’ Representative shall have consented to or failed to challenge such proceeding, (b) in case any proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, is instituted by or against the Sellers’ Representative, seeking the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a temporary or permanent receiver, liquidator, custodian trustee, special manager or other similar official for it or for a material part of its assets, or a stay of proceedings, and either any such proceedings have not been discharged within thirty (30) days, or the Sellers’ Representative shall have consented to or failed to challenge such proceeding, (c) in case of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, scheme or arrangement or other compromise or arrangement, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment of debt, stay of proceedings, of or other similar proceedings affecting, the Sellers’ Representative or its assets, (d) the Sellers’ Representative admits its inability to pay its debts when due, (e) the transaction of the business of the Sellers’ Representative is suspended, substantially curtailed or ceased for a period longer than thirty (30) days, (f) in case the Sellers’ Representative is an individual, upon the death or incapacity of such individual, and (g) in case the Sellers’ Representative resigns. Any new Sellers’ Representative appointed as aforesaid shall be deemed for all purposes as a Sellers’ Representative under this Agreement having the powers and authorities set forth herein. No bond shall be required of the Sellers’ Representative.

(c) The Sellers’ Representative shall not be liable to any former holder of Company Capital Stock for any act done or omitted hereunder as the Sellers’ Representative while acting in good faith (and any act done or omitted pursuant to the advice of counsel shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith) and without fraud.

without compensation; provided, that, the Indemnifying Parties shall severally, based on their respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify the Sellers’ Representative and hold him harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred without fraud on the part of the Sellers’ Representative and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of his duties hereunder, including all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses and legal fees and other legal costs reasonably incurred by the Sellers’ Representative (an “Agent Loss”), in each case as such Agent Loss is incurred or suffered; provided, that, in the event it is finally adjudicated that a Agent Loss or any portion thereof was primarily caused by the fraud of the Sellers’ Representative, the Sellers’ Representative will reimburse the Indemnifying Parties the amount of such indemnified Agent Loss attributable to such fraud. The Sellers’ Representative may reimburse itself for any Agent Loss from the Expense Fund by delivering to the Chief Financial Officer of the Buyer (the “CFO”), along with proper invoices, receipts, or other supporting materials evidencing the Agent Loss, signed and dated instructions (the “Reimbursement Request”) instructing the the CFO to distribute all or a portion of the Expense Fund (such amount, a “Requested Amount”), along with all relevant information the CFO shall reasonably require to pay the Requested Amount to the Sellers’ Representative. As soon as reasonably practicable (but in any event within ten (10) Business Days) after receipt of such written instructions the CFO shall disburse to the Sellers’ Representative a cash amount equal to the Requested Amount in the manner set forth in such written instructions (but not to exceed the amount of the value of any remaining Expense Fund Shares, valued as set forth below in this Section 9.7(c)) and, at such time, a number of shares of Buyer Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (a) the Requested Amount by (b) the average of the closing prices of Buyer Common Stock as quoted on the New York Stock Exchange for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending with the trading day that is five (5) trading days after the date that the Reimbursement Request is delivered to the CFO shall be deducted from the Expense Fund Shares and forfeited to Buyer (and thereafter no Seller or other former Company securityholder, other than Buyer, shall have any right or interest therein). For avoidance of doubt, it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that: (x) Buyer and the CFO shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the any properly tendered Reimbursement Requests with respect to the Expense Fund; (y) neither Buyer’s nor any Seller’s consent (other than the Sellers’ Representative) shall be required to pay any Requested Amounts in accordance herewith; and (z) the Sellers’ Representative shall have the sole authority to instruct the payment of any Requested Amounts. In the event that, following the later of the termination of the Holdback Release Date, the resolution of any dispute concerning the calculation of the number of “Eligible Shares” and any other condition relating to the “Acquisition” (as provided for in the the Company PRSUs and the holders of Buyer-Issued PRSUs) or any matter related to the calculation of grants under the Additional PRSU Agreements related to the Company PRSUs and the holders of Buyer-Issued PRSUs, or the resolution of any pending indemnification claim of an Indemnified Person, there are any Expense Fund Shares remaining (the “Surplus Shares”), the Buyer shall deliver to the Escrow Agent on behalf of each Seller who holds shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Closing such Seller’s Pro Rata Amount of such Surplus Shares. No bond will be required of the Sellers’ Representative. Each Seller (other than the Seller’s Representative) waives any claim against the Buyer, the CFO and each other Indemnified Person with respect to payments made to the Sellers’ Representative in connection with a Reimbursement Request (and associated forfeiture of Expense Fund Shares) in accordance herewith, and the Indemnifying Parties shall severally, based on their respective Pro Rata Share, indemnify the such Indemnified Persons and hold them harmless against any loss, liability or expense relating to any claim in connection therewith. Buyer shall have no claim, setoff right or other Encumbrance against the Expense Fund, except to the extent of forfeitures to cover each Agent Loss, if any, as set forth above in this Section 9.7(c).

(d) Any notice or communication given or received by, and any decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, the Sellers’ Representative that is within the scope of the Sellers’ Representative’s authority under Section 9.7(a) shall constitute a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of all the

 

67


Indemnifying Parties and shall be final, binding and conclusive upon each such Indemnifying Parties; and each Indemnified Person shall be entitled to rely exclusively upon any such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction as being a notice or communication to or by, or a decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of, each and every such Indemnifying Parties. Buyer, the Company, the Israeli Subsidiary and the Indemnified Persons are hereby relieved from any Liability to any Person for any acts done by them in accordance with such notice, communication, decision, action, failure to act within a designated period of time, agreement, consent, settlement, resolution or instruction of the Sellers’ Representative.

9.8 Third-Party Claims. In the event Buyer becomes aware of a third-party claim which Buyer in good faith believes is reasonably likely to result in a claim against the Holdback Fund by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person (“Third Party Claim”), Buyer shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of and to settle or resolve any such Third Party Claim (and the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with such defense, settlement or resolution (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) shall be included in the Indemnifiable Damages for which Buyer may seek indemnification pursuant to a claim made hereunder). Buyer shall timely notify the Sellers’ Representative of a Third Party Claim, the Sellers’ Representative shall have the right to receive copies of all pleadings, notices and communications with respect to the Third Party Claim to the extent that receipt of such documents does not affect any privilege relating to any Indemnified Person and shall be entitled, at its sole option and expense, to participate in, but not to determine or conduct, any defense of the Third Party Claim or settlement negotiations with respect to the Third Party Claim. However, except with the written consent of the Sellers’ Representative, which consent shall be deemed to have been given unless the Sellers’ Representative shall have objected within 15 Business Days after a written request for such consent by Buyer, no settlement or resolution by Buyer of any claim that gives rise to a claim against the Holdback Fund by or on behalf of an Indemnified Person shall be determinative of the existence of or amount of Indemnifiable Damages relating to such matter. In the event that the Sellers’ Representative has consented to any such settlement or resolution, neither the Sellers’ Representative nor any Indemnifying Party shall have any power or authority to object under Section 9.6 or any other provision of this ARTICLE 9 to the amount of any claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person against the Holdback Fund for indemnity with respect to such settlement or resolution but only to the extent that the amount of any such claim by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person is equal to or less than the amount consented to in any such settlement or resolution.

9.9 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. The Indemnifying Parties, the Sellers’ Representative and Buyer agree to treat (and cause their Affiliates to treat) any payment received pursuant to this ARTICLE 9 as adjustments to the Estimated Aggregate Net Consideration Amount and the Actual Aggregate Net Consideration Amount for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by Legal Requirements.

No party is by virtue of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of any other party.

10.6 Entire Agreement; Nonassignability; Parties in Interest. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the documents and instruments and other agreements specifically referred to herein or therein or delivered pursuant hereto or thereto, including all the exhibits attached hereto and thereto, the Schedules, including the Company Disclosure Letter, (a) constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and

10.10 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue; Arbitration.

(a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware without reference to such state’s principles of conflicts of law. Any dispute with regard to or arising under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be resolved by arbitration conducted by a single arbitrator reasonably mutually acceptable to the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative; provided that in the absence of agreement by the Buyer and the Sellers’ Representative in this regard, the arbitrator will be appointed by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services/EnDispute (or its successor) (“JAMS”) in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “Arbitration Rules”). The decision of the arbitrator shall be nonappealable, binding and conclusive upon the parties hereto, and Buyer shall be entitled to withdraw Holdback Shares from the Holdback Fund in accordance with the terms thereof upon an award pursuant thereto. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Any such arbitration will be held in Santa Clara County, California under the Arbitration Rules, as such rules will be in effect on the Closing Date, except to the extent that such rules are inconsistent with this Section 10.10(a), in which case this

 

71


Section 10.10(a) will govern. The parties hereby agree that the Expedited Procedures set forth in Sections 16.1 and 16.2 of the Arbitration Rules shall be employed; that direct examination and cross examinations may be conducted by video conference where issues of scheduling and travel time and costs preclude a witness from appearing in person in Santa Clara; that a stenographic record of the evidentiary phase of the arbitration will be kept and that the parties will split the costs thereof subject to the arbitrator’s order for costs at the conclusion of the arbitration. Except as may be otherwise expressly provided herein, the burden of proof in the arbitration will be as it would be if the claim were litigated in a judicial proceeding governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts executed, entered into and performed within the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of choice of law or conflicts of law of any jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s decision and award shall set forth findings of fact and conclusions of law and include an order for costs requiring the non-prevailing party to pay (1) its own expenses, (2) the fees of the arbitrator in full, the administrative fee of JAMS in full and other reasonable arbitration expenses in full to the extent determined by the arbitrator in his/her sole discretion, and (3) the expenses of the prevailing party, including its attorneys’ fees and costs, reasonably incurred in connection with the arbitration, including travel and lodging costs incurred in order to attend arbitration hearings (for the avoidance of doubt, such costs order shall include reimbursement by the non-prevailing party of any fees of the arbitrator and administrative fees of JAMS paid during the arbitration by the prevailing party). For purposes of this Section 10.10(a), Buyer shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party unless the arbitrator awards Buyer more than one-half of the amount in dispute, in which case the Indemnifying Parties, Sellers or Sellers’ Representative (as applicable) shall be deemed to be the non-prevailing party; it being understood that notwithstanding any other provision hereof, in the event that Buyer is the prevailing party any such fees and costs that are to be borne by the Indemnifying Parties, Sellers or Sellers’ Representative (as applicable) pursuant hereto may be claimed by Buyer directly from the Expense Fund and to the extent not recoverable therefrom shall be deemed Indemnifiable Damages recoverable against the Holdback Fund, in each case without duplication of any amount actually paid by the Indemnifying Parties, Sellers or Sellers’ Representative. Subject to the foregoing agreement to arbitrate, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of the state courts of the State of California located within the County of Santa Clara in the State of California and the Federal courts of the United States of America located within the Northern District of California in respect of any judicial proceedings that may be necessary to enforce the agreement to arbitrate in accordance herewith or in support of the foregoing arbitration (including for interim relief or for the purpose of enforcing any arbitral award) or otherwise in connection with said arbitration, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding as aforesaid that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that it is inconvenient (forum non conveniens), and, without modifying any part of the foregoing, the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such a California State or Federal court. The parties hereto hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the Person of such parties and over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 10.2 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Applicable Law, shall be valid and sufficient service thereof. With respect to any particular action, suit or proceeding, venue shall lie solely in the County of Santa Clara, California with respect to state court matters or in the Northern District of California with respect to Federal court matters.

(b) Rules of Construction. The parties hereto have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and, therefore, hereby waive, with respect to this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents each Schedule and each Exhibit attached hereto and thereto, the application of any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document shall be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

 

72


10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.
