AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER

THIS AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of May 6, 2014, by and among: inContact, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Purchaser”); INCC Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser (the “Survivor”); CallCopy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”); the individuals and entities set forth on Schedule A (the “Stockholders”); and Jeffrey M. Canter, as the Stockholders’ Agent (as defined in Section 7.1). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined or referenced in Exhibit A.

RECITALS

This Agreement contemplates a transaction intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 368(a)(2)(D) of the Code in which Purchaser will acquire all of the Company’s outstanding stock for cash, common stock of the Purchaser, and restricted common stock of the Purchaser through a forward subsidiary merger of the Company with and into the Survivor.

AGREEMENT

The parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

1. THE MERGER AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

1.1 Merger and Certificate of Merger. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement the Company and survivor are executing the Certificate of Merger in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and the Survivor is promptly filing the Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. At the Effective Time the Company is merged with and into the Survivor (the “Merger”). The date on which the Effective Time occurs is the “Closing Date.”

1.2 Terms of Merger. At the Effective Time:

(a) Surviving Corporation. The Company is merged with and into the Survivor, so that the Survivor is the surviving corporation and the separate existence of the Company ceases.

(b) Name of Survivor. From and after the Effective Time the name of the Survivor shall be “CallCopy, Inc.”

(c) Rights Privileges, Immunities, Franchises, and Obligations. The Survivor shall thereupon and thereafter possess all the rights, privileges, immunities, and franchises, of a public as well as of a private nature, of each of the Company and Survivor; and all property, real, personal, and mixed, and all debts due of whatever account, including subscriptions to shares, and all other choses in action, and all and every other interest, of or belonging to or due to each of the Company and Survivor, shall be taken and deemed to be transferred to and vested in the Survivor without further act or deed; the title to any real estate, or any interest therein, vested in either of the Company or Survivor shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the Merger; the Survivor shall be responsible and liable for all the liabilities and obligations of each of the Company and Survivor; any claim existing or action or proceeding pending by or against either of the

 

1


Company or Survivor may be prosecuted as if the Merger had not taken place, or the Survivor may be substituted in place of either of the Company or Survivor; and, neither the rights of creditors nor any liens on the property of either of the Company or Survivor shall be impaired by the Merger.

(d) Directors. The board of directors of the Survivor and the members thereof, shall consist of the members of the board of directors of the Survivor immediately prior to the Merger; to serve thereafter in accordance with the bylaws of the Survivor and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified in accordance with such bylaws and the laws of the State of Delaware.

(e) Officers. The officers of the Survivor shall consist of the Persons serving as officers of the Survivor immediately prior to the Merger; to serve thereafter in accordance with the bylaws of the Survivor and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified in accordance with such bylaws and the laws of the State of Delaware.

(f) Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation of the Survivor shall be and constitute the certificate of incorporation of the Survivor from and after the Effective Time; provided, however, that the Certificate of Merger effectuates an amendment to the certificate of incorporation changing the name of the Survivor pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this Agreement. The bylaws of the Survivor shall be and constitute the bylaws of the Survivor from and after the Effective Time.

(g) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Schedule A contains a complete list of the persons holding the Company Common Stock. The Company Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing Date held by each Stockholder is converted into cash, Purchaser Common Stock, and Purchaser Restricted Stock in the amounts listed for each Stockholder on Schedule A. The Purchaser Common Stock and Purchaser Restricted Stock are validly issued, fully-paid, and non-assessable.

1.3 Company Stock Options. Schedule B contains a complete list of the persons holding vested and unvested Company Stock Options. All such vested Company Stock Options are converted into the right to receive cash at Closing, and on the Closing Date the Purchaser shall pay, or cause the Company to pay, to the persons holding vested Company Stock Options cash in the amounts listed on Schedule B in consideration for cancellation of the vested Company Stock Options on the Closing Date. At the Effective Time holders of unvested Company Stock Options listed on Schedule B will receive Restricted Stock Units for Purchaser common stock in the amounts set forth in Schedule B in exchange for their unvested Company Stock Options.

1.4 Escrow Deposit. Upon conversion of the Company Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.2(g), $3,960,000 (the “Escrow Amount”) of the cash payable to the Stockholders will be deposited with the Escrow Agent by wire transfer to one or more bank accounts designated by the Escrow Agent as a contribution to the Escrow Fund, which shall be maintained for the purposes of satisfying claims brought pursuant to Section 6 in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.

 

2


1.5 Withholding. Any consideration payable to a Person pursuant to this Agreement or the Merger that is subject to tax withholding is paid net of the amount of the tax withholding that Purchaser has determined in good faith is required to be deducted or withheld therefrom, or in connection therewith, under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law or under any other applicable Legal Requirement. To the extent such amounts were so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(n) To the holders of unvested Company Stock Options, Restricted Stock Units for the number of shares of Purchaser Common Stock set forth opposite such optionholder’s name on Schedule B.

1.7 Post-Closing Payments and Adjustment to Merger Consideration.

(a) Estimated and Closing Balance Sheets. Attached hereto as Schedule C is an estimated balance sheet of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Adjusted Balance Sheet”), as of 11:59 p.m. EST on May 5, 2014, a calculation of the estimated Adjusted Net Current Assets (the “Estimated Adjusted Net Current Assets”), and a statement of method by which the Estimated Adjusted Balance Sheet and Estimated Adjusted Net Current Assets are calculated (the “Method”). No later than the 60th day after the Closing Date, the Purchaser or its accountants shall prepare and deliver to the Stockholders’ Agent a balance sheet of the Company (the “Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet”), as of 11:59 p.m. EST on the Closing Date, and the Purchaser’s calculation, with supporting detail, of the Adjusted Net Current Assets (the “Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets”) in a manner consistent with the Method and GAAP. In preparing the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet, except for those items specifically provided for in the Method, (i) any changes in assets or liabilities as a result of purchase accounting adjustments and any and all other effects on the assets or liabilities of the Company of any financing or refinancing arrangements entered into by the Purchaser at any time on or after the Closing Date shall be entirely disregarded and (ii) no plans, transactions or changes that the Purchaser or the Survivor intends to initiate or make or cause to be initiated or made at or after the Closing Date with respect to the Company or its business or assets, and no facts or circumstances that are unique or particular to the Purchaser or the Survivor or any assets or liabilities of the Purchaser or the Survivor, shall be taken into account.

(b) Payment of Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets. After the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Stockholders the amount of the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets less $5,748,234 (the “Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets Payment Amount”). Monthly payments of that amount shall be made on the 10th day of each clandar month starting June 10, 2014, and will continue until the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets Payment Amount is paid in full. Payments will be made to the Stockholders proportionately on the same basis that cash was distributed to the Stockholders at Closing as shown on Schedule A to this Agreement. The amount of each monthly payment shall be the amount resulting from the following calculation:

(i) the amount equal to (A) accounts receivable existing as of the Closing (as shown on the Estimated Adjusted Balance Sheet initially and then the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet when it is completed and accepted) that are converted to cash in the preceding calendar month plus (B) prepaid expenses existing as of the Closing (as shown on the Estimated Adjusted Balance Sheet initially and then the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet when it is completed and accepted) utilized in the preceding calendar month (which starts on the day following the Closing Date for May 2014), less;

 

4


(ii) an amount, if any, equal to (A) the deferred revenue as of the Closing (as shown on the Estimated Adjusted Balance Sheet initially and then the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet when it is completed and accepted) less (B) the amount by which any prior monthly payments under this Section 1.7(b) were reduced by deferred revenue pursuant to this Section 1.7(b)(ii); less

(iii) the amount equal to accounts payable and accrued liabilities existing as of the Closing (as shown on the Estimated Adjusted Balance Sheet initially and then the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet when it is completed and accepted) paid, by the payment due date, in the preceding calendar month (which starts on the day following the Closing Date for May 2014).

All payments under this Section 1.7(d) shall be made by check issued by the Purchaser and shall be deemed made when deposited in the US mail addressed to the Stockholder at its address for giving notice under this Agreement. Any amount payable by the Purchaser and not paid when due pursuant to Section 1.7(b) shall bear interest at a rate of 8% per annum from the date due until paid in full.

(c) Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet Review. After the Stockholders’ Agent’s receipt of the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet and the Purchaser’s calculation of the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets (collectively, the “Closing Statement”) and until the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet and the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets are finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.7(c), the Purchaser and the Survivor shall provide the Stockholders’ Agent and its accountants and other representatives with access at all reasonable times to the properties, books, records, work papers and personnel of the Purchaser and the Survivor and their accountants, and shall cause such personnel (including any members of management of the Purchaser and the Survivor) to cooperate and work in good faith with the Stockholders’ Agent, for purposes of reviewing the Closing Statement and its components and determining the final Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets. If the Stockholders’ Agent has any objections to the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet or the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets as prepared by the Purchaser, the Stockholders’ Agent must, within 45 days after the Stockholders’ Agent’s receipt thereof, give written notice (the “Objection Notice”) to the Purchaser specifying in reasonable detail such objections. If the Stockholders’ Agent does not deliver the Objection Notice within such 45-day period, the Purchaser’s determination of the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet and the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Purchaser, the Survivor and the Stockholders. With respect to any disputed amounts, the Stockholders’ Agent and the Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith during the 30-day period (the “Resolution Period”) after the date of the Purchaser’s receipt of the Objection Notice to resolve any such disputes. If the Stockholders’ Agent and the Purchaser are unable to resolve all such disputes within the Resolution Period, then, within five business days after the expiration of the Resolution Period, either party may submit any such dispute to Grant Thornton LLP (or if Grant Thornton LLP cannot or is unwilling to serve in such capacity, a nationally recognized, independent public accounting firm selected by mutual agreement of the Stockholders’ Agent and the Purchaser, or if they cannot agree, selected by mutual agreement of the independent public accounting firms regularly used by the Company and the Purchaser prior to the Closing Date in the conduct of their respective businesses) (the “Accountant”), who shall be

 

5


engaged to provide a final and conclusive resolution of all unresolved disputes as promptly as practicable after such engagement. The Accountant shall determine only those issues that remain in dispute. In resolving any matters in dispute, the Accountant may not assign a value to any item in dispute greater than the greatest amount, or less than the smallest amount, for such item assigned by the Purchaser in the Closing Statement, on the one hand, or the Stockholders’ Agent in the Objection Notice, on the other hand. The Accountant’s determination will be based solely on written submissions by the Purchaser and the Stockholders’ Agent (i.e., not on the basis of an independent review and testimony) and in accordance with the guidelines and procedures set forth in this Agreement. The Accountant’s determination shall be set forth in a written report which shall include an explanation of the reasons for its determination on each matter in dispute and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Purchaser, the Survivor and the Stockholders, absent manifest calculation error. The Purchaser, the Survivor and the Stockholders agree that the procedures set forth in this Section 1.7(c) for resolving disputes with respect to the Closing Statement shall be the sole and exclusive method for resolving any such disputes; provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit any party from instituting litigation to enforce the determination by the Accountant of the Closing Statement or the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets in a court of competent jurisdiction determined in accordance with Section 7.8. The fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be allocated by the Accountant between the Stockholders, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, based on the aggregate percentage that the portions of the contested amounts not awarded to each party bear to the aggregate amounts contested by such party, and each party shall bear its own other expenses in connection therewith, including its attorneys’ and accountants’ fees.

3.1 Ownership. Schedule A sets forth the class and number of shares of Company Common Stock owned of record by the Stockholder as of the Closing Date, and the full name and address of such Stockholder. Except as set forth in the Charter Documents or the Company Stockholders Agreement, such Stockholder has no right or claim to acquire any other Company Common Stock or other interest in the Company, whether issued or unissued. Such Stockholder has good and valid title to the Shares held by such Stockholder, free and clear of any Encumbrances.

No event has occurred, and no claim, dispute or other condition or circumstance exists, that might directly or indirectly give rise to or serve as a basis for the commencement of any such Legal Proceeding.

Such Stockholder represents that (except as may be contemplated by the Registration Agreement) the Purchaser Common Stock is being acquired without a view to, or for, resale in connection with any distribution of the Purchaser Common Stock or any interest therein without registration or other compliance under the Securities Act, and that the Stockholder has no direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking or in the underwriting of such an undertaking. Such Stockholder acknowledges that the Purchaser Common Stock has not been registered under the Securities Act, but is being acquired by reason of a specific exemption from registration under the Securities Act as well as under certain state statutes for transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering and that any disposition of the Purchaser Common Stock may, under certain circumstances, be inconsistent with this exemption and may make such Stockholder an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. Such Stockholder acknowledges that the Purchaser Common Stock must be held and may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of for value unless it is subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. The certificates and instruments representing the Purchaser Common Stock will bear a legend restricting transfer, except in compliance with applicable federal and state securities statutes.

Subject to Section 6.3(d), the Stockholder Indemnitors shall not be required to make any indemnification payment pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) for any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty in this Agreement until such time as the total amount of all Damages (including the Damages arising from such inaccuracy or breach and all other Damages arising from any other inaccuracies or breaches of any representations or warranties) that have been directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any one or more of the Purchaser Indemnitees with respect to any indemnifiable claim pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), or to which any one or more of the Purchaser Indemnitees has or have otherwise directly or indirectly become subject with respect to any indemnifiable claim pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i), exceeds $440,000, in the aggregate (the “Basket”). If the total amount of such Damages exceeds the Basket, then the Purchaser Indemnitees shall be entitled to be indemnified against and compensated and reimbursed for only the amount of such Damages in excess of the Basket.

40


matters referred to in Sections 6.2(a)(ii), 6.2(a)(iii), or 6.2(a)(iv). The limitations set forth in Section 6.3(c) shall not apply: (i) in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud or (ii) to the matters referred to in Sections 6.2(a)(ii) or 6.2(a)(iv).

Any liability of the Stockholder Indemnitors arising under Sections 6.2(a)(i), 6.2(a)(ii), or 6.2(a)(iii) shall be allocated to Edison Ventures based on the Edison Ventures Pro Rata Share and the liability of Edison Ventures will be limited to that amount, and all the other Stockholder Indemnitors (other than Edison Ventures) shall be jointly and severally liable for the remainder of such liability. Any liability arising under Section 6.2(a)(ii) (other than arising as a result of a breach of any covenant or obligation of the Company) or Section 6.2(a)(iv) shall be the sole responsibility and obligation (joint and several) of the Stockholder or Stockholders that breached the representations and warranties set for in Section 3 of this Agreement or the covenant or obligation, as the case may be, and no other Stockholder Indemnitor shall have any responsibility or liability in respect thereof. Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the maximum aggregate amount that the Purchaser Indemnitees are entitled to recover from any one Stockholder under Section 6.2(a)(iv) is an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the cash paid to such Stockholder (including such Stockholder’s pro rata share of the Escrow Amount) by the Purchaser on the Closing Date plus the fair market value on the Closing Date of the Purchaser Common Stock and Purchaser Restricted Stock listed for each Stockholder on Schedule A.

(f) Recourse to Escrow Fund. So long as, and to the extent that, there remain amounts held in the Escrow Fund in excess of the aggregate amount of Damages contained in pending Claim Notices, if any, the Purchaser Indemnitees shall first seek recourse to the Escrow Fund before seeking recourse directly against a Stockholder Indemnitor; provided, that, with respect to Claim Notices with respect to Sections 6.2(a)(ii) or 6.2(a)(iv) only, if less than all Stockholder Indemnitors are liable for the Damages identified in a Claim Notice, the Purchaser Indemnitees may, at their election, (i) recover from the Escrow Fund up to an amount equal to the portion of the Escrow Fund attributable to the Stockholder Indemnitors with liability under the Claim Notice allocated proportionately between such Stockholder Indemnitors based on the number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by each immediately prior to the Effective Time and the total number of shares of Company Common Stock owned by all such Stockholder Indemnitors, or (ii) seek recovery directly from the Stockholder Indemnitors with liability under the Claim Notice.

(g) Exclusive Remedy. Except in the case of intentional misrepresentation or fraud, claims for indemnification, compensation and reimbursement brought in accordance with and subject to this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee for monetary damages from and after the Closing Date with respect to breaches of this Agreement by the Company or any Stockholder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Agreement shall limit the rights of any Indemnitee to seek or obtain injunctive relief, including specific performance, to which such Indemnitee is otherwise entitled. Subject to the foregoing sentences in this Section 6.3(g), to the maximum extent permitted by law, the parties hereby waive all other rights and remedies with respect to any matter in any way relating to this Agreement or arising in connection herewith, whether under any laws at common law, in equity or otherwise (including with respect to any environmental, health or safety matters, including those arising under any Environmental Laws).

 

41


(h) Insurance and Tax Benefits. The amount of any and all Damages shall be determined net of (i) any amounts recovered by the Indemnitee under insurance policies or other collateral sources (such as contractual indemnities of any Person which are contained outside of this Agreement) with respect to such Damages, in each case, net of costs of collection resulting from making any claim thereunder, and (ii) any Tax benefits actually recognized by the Indemnitee (or any of its Affiliates) arising from the incurrence or payment of any such indemnifiable Damages by the Indemnitee and any Tax costs actually incurred by the Indemnitee. For purposes of this Section 6.3(h), a Tax benefit shall be deemed to have been actually realized if, and to the extent, the hypothetical Tax liability, if any, of the Indemnitee (or any affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary group of which the Indemnitee is a member) for any taxable year, calculated without taking into account any Tax items attributable to the indemnifiable Damages (and, for the avoidance of doubt, without taking into account any net operating loss carryovers or carrybacks attributable to a indemnifiable Damages incurred in any prior or subsequent taxable year), exceeds the actual Tax liability, if any, of the Indemnitee (or any affiliated, combined, consolidated or unitary group of which the Indemnitee is a member) for such taxable year, calculated by taking into account any Tax items attributable to such indemnifiable Damages (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any net operating loss carryovers or carrybacks attributable to a indemnifiable Damages incurred in any prior or subsequent taxable year (determined by treating such indemnifiable Damages as the last item claimed in any prior or subsequent taxable year)).

(i) Excluded Damages. The Purchaser Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a) for any Damage to the extent that such Damage was taken into account in the calculation of the Closing Adjusted Net Current Assets or that a reserve on the Closing Adjusted Balance Sheet, in each case, as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.7(c), was recorded with respect to such Damage.

6.4 No Contribution. Each Stockholder Indemnitor waives, and acknowledges and agrees that he or it shall not have and shall not exercise or assert (or attempt to exercise or assert), any right of contribution, right of indemnity or other right or remedy against the Company in connection with any indemnification obligation or any other liability to which he or it may become subject under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transactional Agreement.

6.5 Defense of Third Party Claims.

(a) Defense of Third Party Claims. In the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Legal Proceeding (whether against the Company, Survivor, the Purchaser or any other Person) with respect to which any Indemnitor may become obligated to hold harmless, indemnify, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee, the Indemnitee receiving the claim shall give the Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of such notice of such third party claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the third party claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, or by giving

 

42


written notice to the Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any third party claim at the Indemnitor’s expense and by the Indemnitor’s own counsel, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnitor is Seller, such Indemnitor shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such third party claim that (i) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a Company Customer, Company Reseller, or Company Vendor, or (ii) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee, or (iii) alleges the Company Software infringes the Intellection Property Rights of a third party. In the event that the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any third party claim, subject to Section 6.5(b), it shall have the right to take such action as it deems necessary to avoid, dispute, defend, appeal or make counterclaims pertaining to any such third party claim in the name and on behalf of the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any third party claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnitor’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee, provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee that cannot be waived, the Indemnitor shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnitee determines counsel is required. If the Indemnitor elects not to compromise or defend such third party claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnitee in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such third party claim, the Indemnitee may, subject to Section 6.5(b), pay, compromise, defend such third party claim and seek indemnification for any and all Damages based upon, arising from or relating to such third party claim. All Parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any third party claim, including making available (subject to the provisions of Section 7.4) records relating to such third party claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending Party, management employees of the non-defending Party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such third party claim;

(b) Settlement of third party claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitor shall not enter into settlement of any third party claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, except as provided in this Section 6.5(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a third party claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnitee and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such third party claim and the Indemnitor desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnitor shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer within 10 days after its receipt of such notice, the Indemnitee may continue to contest or defend such third party claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnitor as to such third party claim shall not exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnitee fails to consent to such firm offer and also fails to assume defense of such third party claim, the Indemnitor may settle the third party claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such third party claim. If the Indemnitee has assumed the defense pursuant to Section 6.5(a), it shall not agree to any settlement without the written consent of the Indemnitor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

 

43


(c) Direct Claims. Any Legal Proceeding by an Indemnitee on account of Damages based on a direct claim that does not result from a third party claim shall be asserted by the Indemnitee giving the Indemnitor reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than 30 days after the Indemnitee becomes aware of such direct claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnitor forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnitee shall describe the direct claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Damages that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee. The Indemnitor shall have 45 days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such direct claim. The Indemnitee shall allow the Indemnitor and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the direct claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the direct claim and the Indemnitee shall assist the Indemnitor’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Indemnitee’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnitor or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnitor does not so respond within such 45 day period, the Indemnitor shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnitee on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

6.6 Claims Procedures. Subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3, any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement pursuant to Section 6 shall be made as follows:

(a) If any Indemnitee has or claims in good faith to have incurred or suffered Damages for which it or he is or may be entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 6, such Indemnitee may deliver a Claim Notice to the Indemnitor, Stockholders’ Agent, and Escrow Agent. Each Claim Notice shall: (i) state that the Indemnitee believes in good faith that the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 6; (ii) contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the Indemnitee’s claim; and (iii) if practicable, contain a non-binding, preliminary, good faith estimate of the amount to which the Indemnitee claims to be entitled from each of the Indemnitors (the amount of such estimate, as it may be modified by the Indemnitee in good faith from time to time, being referred to as the “Claimed Amount”).

(b) If the Claim Notice is given by a Purchaser Indemnitee, then during the Dispute Period Stockholders’ Agent for and on behalf of any of the Stockholder Indemnitors named in the Claim Notice, may deliver to the Purchaser Indemnitee, with a copy to the Escrow Agent, a written Response Notice in which the Stockholders’ Agent: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnitee; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause “(ii)” or “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting the claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Purchaser Indemnitee. If a Response Notice is not received by Purchaser Indemnitee and Escrow Agent from the Stockholders’ Agent prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then Stockholders’ Agent (on behalf of a Stockholder Indemnitor named in the Claim Notice for which a Response

 

44


Notice is not give) shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount is owed to Purchaser Indemnitee and Purchaser may instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Claimed Amount to the Purchaser Indemnitee. If in the Response Notice the Stockholders’ Agent states an Agreed Amount is owed to Purchaser Indemnitee, then the Purchaser may instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Agreed Amount to the Purchaser Indemnitee. If any Response Notice expressly indicates that there is a Contested Amount, the Stockholders’ Agent and Purchaser Indemnitee shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Stockholders’ Agent and Purchaser Indemnitee resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Stockholders’ Agent, the Stockholder Indemnitor with respect to which the Contested Amount pertains, and Purchaser the Indemnitee and a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed to Purchaser Indemnitee (the “Stipulated Amount”) and instructing the Escrow Agent to release such amount to the Purchaser Indemnitee shall be signed by Stockholders’ Agent and such Purchaser Indemnitee.

(c) If the Claim Notice is given by a Stockholder Indemnitee (or by Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of a Stockholder Indemnitee), then during the Dispute Period the Purchaser Indemnitor may deliver to the Stockholders’ Agent a written Response Notice in which the Purchaser Indemnitor: (i) agrees that the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Stockholder Indemnitee; (ii) agrees that part, but not all, of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Stockholder Indemnitee; or (iii) indicates that no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Stockholder Indemnitee. If the Response Notice is delivered in accordance with clause “(ii)” or “(iii)” of the preceding sentence, the Response Notice shall also contain a brief description of the facts and circumstances supporting Purchaser Indemnitor’s claim that only a portion or no part of the Claimed Amount is owed to the Stockholder Indemnitee. If a Response Notice is not received by the Stockholders’ Agent prior to the expiration of the Dispute Period, then the Purchaser Indemnitor shall be conclusively deemed to have agreed that an amount equal to the full Claimed Amount is owed to the Stockholder Indemnitee and payment of the Claimed Amount shall be made to Stockholders’ Agent within three business days following the end of the Dispute Period. If in the Response Notice the Purchaser Indemnitor states an Agreed Amount is owed to Stockholder Indemnitee, then the Purchaser Indemnitor shall make payment of the Claimed Amount to Stockholders’ Agent within three business days following the end of the Dispute Period. If any Response Notice expressly indicates that there is a Contested Amount, the Stockholders’ Agent and Purchaser Indemnitor shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute related to the Contested Amount. If the Stockholders’ Agent and Purchaser Indemnitor resolve such dispute, such resolution shall be binding on the Stockholders’ Agent, Purchaser Indemnitor, and the Stockholder Indemnitee with respect to which the Claim Notice is given, a settlement agreement stipulating the amount owed (the “Stipulated Amount”) will be entered into by the Purchaser Indemnitor and Stockholders’ Agent, and the Stipulated amount will be paid to Stockholders’ Agent as provided in the settlement agreement.

(d) In the event that there is a dispute relating to any Claim Notice or Contested Amount (whether it is a matter between the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Indemnitor or Stockholders’ Agent, on the other hand, or it is a matter that is subject to a claim or Legal Proceeding asserted or commenced by a third party brought against the Indemnitee or the Purchaser, Survivor, or Company in a litigation or arbitration), a Legal Proceeding to resolve such dispute, may be brought in accordance with Section 7.8(b). If the resolution of the Legal Proceeding to resolve a

 

45


Claim Notice results in some portion of the Contested Amount being payable to the Indemnitee, the Purchaser may instruct the Escrow Agent to release that amount of the award specified in the court’s decision to the Indemnitee.

6.7 Tax Treatment. Any indemnification payment received pursuant to this Section 6 shall be treated as an adjustment to the merger consideration payable to the Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements.

6.8 Payment to Stockholders from the Escrow Fund.

(a) Escrow Period Termination Release.

(i) On November 6, 2014, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Agent an Escrow Distribution Certificate containing: (i) a list of Claim Notices which have been delivered to Stockholders’ Agent and Escrow Agent that either have not been resolved or have been resolved but for which distributions to a Purchaser Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund are still to be made and have not yet been made (such listed Claim Notices, the “Open Claims”); (ii) the individual and aggregate amount of all Damages subject to Open Claims as set forth in the applicable Claim Notices (such aggregate amount, the “Retained Amount”); and (iii) an instruction to distribute to the Stockholders’ Agent an amount equal to the difference (if a positive number) between the (A) lesser of the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund or (B) $990,000, and the Retained Amount, if any (any such remainder, the “Six-Month Released Amount”). Upon delivery of the Escrow Distribution Certificate to the Escrow Agent, the Six-Month Released Amount will be promptly distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholders’ Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. If the Purchaser does not deliver to the Escrow Agent the Escrow Distribution Certificate on or before November 6, 2014, the Escrow Agent shall, without further instruction from the Purchaser or Stockholders’ Agent, promptly distribute out of the Escrow Fund the lesser of $990,000 and the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund to Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Stockholders as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

(ii) On May 6, 2015, the Purchaser shall deliver to the Escrow Agent and the Stockholders’ Agent an additional Escrow Distribution Certificate containing: (i) a list of Open Claims; (ii) the Retained Amount subject to those Open Claims; and (iii) an instruction to distribute to the Stockholders’ Agent an amount equal to the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund minus the Retained Amount, if any (any such remainder, the “One-Year Released Amount”). Upon delivery of the additional Escrow Distribution Certificate to the Escrow Agent, the One-Year Released Amount will be promptly distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholders’ Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. If the Purchaser does not deliver to the Escrow Agent the additional Escrow Distribution Certificate on or before May 6, 2015, the Escrow Agent shall, without further instruction from the Purchaser or Stockholders’ Agent, distribute out of the Escrow Fund the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund to Stockholders’ Agent on behalf of the Stockholders as provided in the Escrow Agreement.

(b) Post-Escrow Period Release. Within 3 business days following the resolution of any Open Claim where the Purchaser Indemnitee is not entitled to the full amount of Damages

 

46


included in the Escrow Distribution Certificate with respect to such Open Claim, the Purchaser or Stockholders’ Agent shall deliver to the Escrow Agent a certificate (a “Subsequent Distribution Certificate”) containing: (i) a list of Claim Notices which have been delivered to the Stockholders’ Agent and Escrow Agent that either have not been resolved or have been resolved but for which distributions to a Purchaser Indemnitee from the Escrow Fund are still to be made and have not yet been made (such listed Claim Notices, the “Remaining Open Claims”); (ii) the individual and aggregate amount of all Damages subject to Remaining Open Claims as set forth in the applicable Claim Notices (such aggregate amount, the “New Retained Amount”); and (iii) an instruction to distribute to the Stockholders’ Agent an amount equal to the amount then remaining in the Escrow Fund minus the New Retained Amount, if any (such amount, the “Subsequent Released Amount”). Upon delivery of the Subsequent Distribution Certificate to the Escrow Agent, the Subsequent Released Amount will be promptly distributed by the Escrow Agent to the Stockholders’ Agent pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

6.9 Limitations on Damages. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary set forth herein, (i) no party hereto shall be liable for any punitive or exemplary damages, or Damages based on or regarding the loss of future revenue, income or profits, or loss of business reputation or opportunity, except to the extent any such Damages arise from a material misstatement in the Financial Statements, are payable to a third party pursuant to a claim under Section 6 of this Agreement, or result from a claim arising from, relating to or in connection with fraud or willful misrepresentation; and (ii) no party hereto will be liable or obligated to any other party to this Agreement for Damages determined as a multiple of a financial amount stated on the Financial Statements or EBITDA derived from the Financial Statements, unless the claim for Damages is based on a material misstatement in the Financial Statements or the claim arises from, relates to, or is in connection with fraud or willful misrepresentation. No breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein or in any certificate delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall give rise to any right on the part of the Purchaser, the Survivor or any Stockholder to rescind this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

7. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

7.1 Stockholders’ Agent

(a) Appointment. By virtue of the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholders irrevocably nominate, constitute and appoint Jeffrey M. Canter as the agent and true and lawful attorney in fact of the Stockholders (the “Stockholders’ Agent”), with full power of substitution, to act in the name, place and stead of the Stockholders 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 6, under the Escrow Agreement or the completion of any payments owing in connection with the Merger. Jeffrey M. Canter hereby accepts its appointment as Stockholders’ Agent.

(b) Authority. The Stockholders grant to the Stockholders’ Agent full authority to execute, deliver, acknowledge, certify and file on behalf of such Stockholders (in the name of any or all of the Stockholders or otherwise) any and all documents that the Stockholders’ Agent may, in its

 

47


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 its duties as contemplated by Section 7.1(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other agreement executed in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: (i) each Purchaser Indemnitee and the Purchaser shall be entitled to deal exclusively with the Stockholders’ Agent on all matters relating to any claim for indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under Section 6 or under the Escrow Agreement; and (ii) each Purchaser Indemnitee and Purchaser 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 Stockholders by the Stockholders’ Agent, and on any other action taken or purported to be taken on behalf of any Stockholder by the Stockholders’ Agent, as fully binding upon such Stockholder. The Stockholders’ Agent shall cause payments made to all of the Stockholders to be made to all Stockholders in accordance with their respective ownership of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Time of the aggregate amount being so paid.

The Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any statements furnished to it by any Stockholder, the Purchaser, any third Person or any other evidence deemed by the Stockholders’ Agent to be reliable, and the Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to act on the advice of counsel selected by it but that the Stockholders’ Agent shall not be responsible to any Stockholder for any loss or damage any Stockholder may suffer by reason of the performance by the Stockholders’ Agent of its duties under this Agreement, other than loss or damage arising from willful misconduct in the performance of such Stockholders’ Agent duties under this Agreement. The Stockholders’ Agent shall be entitled to retain counsel acceptable to it and to incur such expenses as the Stockholders’ Agent deems to be necessary or appropriate in connection with its performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transactional Agreements, and all such fees and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Stockholders’ Agent shall jointly and severally be borne by each Stockholder. The Stockholders hereby agree to jointly and severally indemnify the Stockholders’ Agent (in his capacity as such) against, and to hold the Stockholders’ Agent (in his capacity as such) harmless from, any and all Damages of whatever kind which may at any time be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against the Stockholders’ Agent in such capacity in any way relating to or arising out of its action or failures to take action pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transactional Agreement.

(e) No Reliance. The decision of each Stockholder to consent to the Merger pursuant to this Agreement has been made by such Stockholder independently of any other Stockholder and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the terms and conditions of any Transactional Agreement that may have been made or given by the Stockholders’ Agent, any other Stockholders or by any Representative of the Stockholders’ Agent, and neither the Stockholders’ Agent nor any Stockholder or any of their respective Representatives shall have any Liability to any other Stockholder (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.

Any such successor shall succeed the Stockholders’ Agent as Stockholders’ Agent 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 Stockholders.

7.2 Stockholder Consent. By the execution of this Agreement each of the Stockholders approves the merger of the Company into the Survivor and all of the terms of the Merger set forth in Section 1 of this Agreement.

7.3 Fees and Expenses. Subject to Section 6 and the Escrow Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear and pay all fees, costs and expenses that have been incurred or that are incurred in the future by such party in connection with the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including all fees, costs and expenses incurred by such party in connection with or by virtue of: (a) 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 Merger; (b) the preparation and submission of any filing or notice required to be made or given in connection with any of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the obtaining of any Consent required to be obtained in connection with any of the Merger and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (c) the consummation of the Merger.

7.4 Waiver of Conflicts. Recognizing that Baker & Hostetler LLP has acted as legal counsel to the Company, the Stockholders and the Stockholders’ Agent prior to the Closing, and that Baker & Hostetler LLP intends to act as legal counsel to the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Agent and their respective Affiliates after the Closing, each of the Purchaser, the Survivor and the Company hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise in connection with Baker & Hostetler LLP representing the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Agent and their Affiliates after the Closing as such representation may relate to the Purchaser, the Survivor, the Company or the transactions contemplated herein. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client confidences between the Stockholders, the Stockholders’ Agent, the Company and their respective Affiliates and Baker & Hostetler LLP in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates (and not the Purchaser, Survivor or Company). Accordingly, the Purchaser and Survivor shall not have access to any such communications, or to the files of Baker & Hostetler LLP relating to its engagement, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege with respect to such engagement, and neither the Purchaser nor Survivor shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of Baker & Hostetler

 

49


LLP in respect of such engagement constitute property of the client, only the Stockholders and their respective Affiliates (and not the Purchaser or Survivor) shall hold such property rights and (iii) Baker & Hostetler LLP shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such attorney-client communications or files to the Purchaser or the Survivor by reason of any attorney-client relationship between Baker & Hostetler LLP and the Company or otherwise.

7.5 Notices.
