Item 2.01. Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On March 2, 2009, Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) announced that it closed the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) of Telsima Corporation (“Telsima”) of Sunnyvale, California. Telsima is a leading developer and provider of WiMAX Forum Certified™ products for use in next generation broadband wireless networks. The Acquisition closed on February 27, 2009 and was consummated pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 27, 2009 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“HSNOC”), Eagle Networks Merger Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSNOC (“Merger Sub”), Telsima and the Holder Representative party thereto. The Merger Agreement provided for the acquisition by HSNOC of all of the outstanding equity securities of Telsima for cash through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Telsima. Following such merger, Telsima became a wholly-owned subsidiary of HSNOC.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, HSNOC will pay to the stockholders of Telsima a maximum aggregate consideration equal to (i) $12 million minus (ii) $2 million in respect of advances made by the Company to Telsima prior to the Acquisition, plus (iii) an amount equal to 70% of any amounts collected by the Company from certain Telsima customers during the period between February 27, 2009 and March 31, 2009. $2 million of the aggregate consideration was payable upon the closing of the Acquisition, $2.5 million of the aggregate consideration is payable on or about May 27, 2009 and $2.5 million of the aggregate consideration is payable on or about August 27, 2009, with each of the May 27, 2009 and August 27, 2009 payments subject to adjustment based on the collections from Telsima customers described above. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, HSNOC has retained a $3 million holdback amount with respect to certain indemnification and other obligations of the former stockholders of Telsima and this holdback amount is due to be settled on or about February 27, 2010. In connection with the Acquisition, the Company executed a guarantee of all of the amounts payable by HSNOC under the terms of the Merger Agreement.

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER
     This Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 27, 2009 by and among Harris Stratex Networks Operating Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Eagle Networks Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), Telsima Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Arun Sobti, as Holder Representative.
RECITALS
     A. Parent, Merger Sub and the Company intend to effect a merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company in accordance with this Agreement and the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) with the Company to be the surviving corporation of the Merger.
     B. The Company Board has unanimously (i) determined that the Merger is fair to, and in the best interests of, the Company and the Stockholders, (ii) adopted and approved this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (iii) recommended that the Stockholders adopt and approve this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Company Board Approval”).
     C. Concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company has delivered to Parent and Merger Sub written consents in a form approved by Parent (the “Stockholders’ Written Consent”) adopting this Agreement and approving the Merger from the requisite percentage of holders of Company Capital Stock in accordance with DGCL and the Company Certificate of Incorporation.
     Now, Therefore, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
     1.1. The Merger. At the Effective Time, and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the provisions of the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the Company, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent. The surviving corporation after the Merger is sometimes referred to herein as the “Surviving Corporation.”
     1.2. Effective Time. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to Section 7.1, the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will take place as promptly as practicable, but no later than three Business Days, following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE V (other than conditions that by

 


 

their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions), at the offices of Bingham McCutchen LLP, 1900 University Avenue, East Palo Alto, California 94303, unless another place or date is agreed to by Parent and the Company. The date upon which the Closing occurs is herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a properly completed and executed Certificate of Merger satisfying the requirements of the DGCL in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL (the time of acceptance by the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware of such filing being referred to herein as the “Effective Time”).
     1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all rights and property of the Company and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts and liabilities of the Company and Merger Sub shall become debts and liabilities of the Surviving Corporation.
     1.4. Certificate of Incorporation; By-laws.
          (a) At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended and restated in its entirety as set forth in the Certificate of Merger until thereafter amended as provided by applicable Law and such Certificate of Incorporation.
          (b) At the Effective Time, the By-laws of Merger Sub shall be the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended.
     1.5. Directors and Officers. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the director(s) of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial director(s) of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws of the Surviving Corporation. At the Effective Time and by virtue of the Merger, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the By-laws of the Surviving Corporation.
     1.6. Merger Consideration; Holdback Amount; Effect on Company Capital Stock.
          (a) Merger Consideration. The maximum aggregate consideration to be paid by Parent and Merger Sub in the Merger to the Stockholders shall be an amount in cash equal to:
               (i) $12,000,000 (the “Merger Consideration”); minus
               (ii) the aggregate amount of any advances (including applicable interest thereon) made by Parent or any of its Affiliates to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries prior to the Closing Date which amount remains unpaid on the Closing Date (the “Advances”), provided, however, that the maximum reduction to the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Section 1.6(a)(ii) shall be $2,000,000; plus

-2-


 

               (iii) an amount equal to 70% of any amounts collected by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the Surviving Corporation (the “Collections Amounts”) during the period between the date hereof and March 31, 2009 from Reliance ADA Group or any of its affiliates (“Reliance”) and Digital Circuit Multiplication Equipment or any of its affiliates (“DCME”) with respect to any transactions on or before the Closing Date between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and Reliance or DCME, provided, however that any adjustments to the Merger Consideration in respect of such amounts collected during the period between the Closing Date and March 31, 2009, if any, shall be reflected in payments made pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(ii) and 1.6(c)(iii) (the Merger Consideration so adjusted, the “Stockholder Merger Consideration”).
          (b) Holdback. At Closing, Parent shall hold back $3,000,000 of the Merger Consideration (the “Holdback Amount”) for the purpose of serving as a source of indemnification for the Indemnified Parties pursuant to ARTICLE VI. The Holdback Amount shall be held and released pursuant to the provisions contained in ARTICLE VI. On or prior to Closing, Parent shall deliver to the Holder Representative a guarantee of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc., the parent company of Parent, with respect to the payment of the Holdback Amount payable by Parent in accordance with the provisions contained in ARTICLE VI.
          (c) Payments of Stockholder Merger Consideration. The Stockholder Merger Consideration shall be paid by Parent in the following installments:

               (ii) On the three-month anniversary of the Closing Date, 50% of the amount (if positive) equal to (A) the Stockholder Merger Consideration (including the Collections Amounts in respect of collections during the period between the Closing and March 31, 2009), minus (B) the Holdback Amount minus (C) the amount of Stockholder Merger Consideration paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i), shall be payable to the Holders; and
               (iii) On the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, 50% of the amount (if positive) equal to (A) the Stockholder Merger Consideration (including the Collections Amounts in respect of collections during the period between the Closing and March 31, 2009), minus (B) the Holdback Amount minus (C) the amount of Stockholder Merger Consideration paid pursuant to Section 1.6(c)(i), shall be payable to the Holders.
          (d) Effect on Company Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or the Stockholders:
               (i) each share of Company Capital Stock held in the treasury of the Company and each share of Company Capital Stock owned by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent or of the Company at the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof, and no payment or distribution shall be made with respect thereto; and

-3-


 

               (ii) each share of Company Capital Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (other than any shares of Company Capital Stock to be cancelled pursuant to Section 1.6(d)(i) and any Dissenting Shares) shall be cancelled, extinguished and converted into the right to receive a portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration as determined by the Company Certificate of Incorporation, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, including the Holdback Amount provisions set forth in Section 1.6(b) and the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VI.
          (e) Allocation Certificate. At least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to Parent a certificate (the “Allocation Certificate”) of the Company signed by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of the Company certifying as to the accuracy and completeness, in each case as of the Closing, of:
               (i) an estimated unaudited consolidated balance sheet (the “Closing Balance Sheet”) of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date substantially in the form of the Company Balance Sheet which shall contain the Company’s estimate of the liabilities and Realizable Assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date;
               (ii) the aggregate amount of Advances as of the Closing;
               (iii) the aggregate Collections Amount as of the Closing, together with a description and the amount of each element thereof;
               (iv) the Company’s calculation of the Stockholder Merger Consideration;
               (v) the identity and mailing address of each Holder and the number of shares of Company Capital Stock held by each such Holder and the number of the stock certificate(s) representing such shares of Company Capital Stock; and
               (vi) the amount of (w) the Stockholder Merger Consideration payable to each Holder without reduction for such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Amount; (x) the Stockholder Merger Consideration to be paid to each Holder net of such Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Amount and the net amounts payable upon each installment described in Sections 1.6(c)(i) through (iii) (and in the case of Sections 1.6(c)(ii) and 1.6(c)(iii), based on the Collections Amount as of such date), (y) each Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Amount, expressed as a percentage; and (z) any required withholding (if any) with respect to each Holder,
which Allocation Certificate, when approved by Parent, shall be deemed the definitive calculation of Stockholder Merger Consideration payable to the Holders (except with respect to changes in the Collections Amount pursuant to Section 1.6(a)(iii)) in connection with the Merger and the disbursement thereof.
          (f) Company Stock Rights.
               (i) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate action to terminate the Company Option Plan and terminate each outstanding Company Option effective as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.

-4-


 

               (ii) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary and appropriate action such that all Company Warrants are either (i) exercised in full for shares of Company Common Stock or Company Preferred Stock, as applicable, which shall participate in the Merger in the same manner as the outstanding shares as of the Effective Time of Company Capital Stock, the exercise price with respect thereto is delivered to the Company in cash or by check prior to the Effective Time or (ii) terminated as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
          (g) Withholding Rights; Deductions from Merger Consideration. Each of the Surviving Corporation and Parent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any payment to any Person under this Agreement or any Related Agreements (i) such amounts as Parent determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the Surviving Corporation or Parent is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment or in respect of any other Tax withholding obligation resulting from the Merger or the exercise, cancellation or cash out of any Company Stock Right or the vesting of restricted stock under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law, whether or not such amounts are set forth in the Allocation Certificate and (ii) the amount of any outstanding loans (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other amounts in respect thereof) owed by such Person to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as of the Closing. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted by the Surviving Corporation or by Parent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Corporation or by Parent, as the case may be. Parent or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, shall pay over to the appropriate Governmental Entity amounts withheld under clause (i) above.
          (h) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Capital Stock. The Stockholder Merger Consideration, if any, paid or payable upon the surrender for exchange of shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Capital Stock, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Capital Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this ARTICLE I.
          (i) Capital Stock of Merger Sub. Each share of common stock of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and exchanged for one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. Each stock certificate of Merger Sub evidencing ownership of any such shares shall continue to evidence ownership of such shares of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
     1.7. Dissenting Shares.
          (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any shares of Company Capital Stock held by a Stockholder who demands and perfects appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with the DGCL and who, as of the Effective Time, has not effectively withdrawn or lost such appraisal rights (collectively, “Dissenting Shares”), shall not

-5-


 

be converted into or represent the right to receive any portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 1.6, but the holder thereof shall only be entitled to such rights as are granted by the DGCL.
          (b) If any Stockholder who holds Dissenting Shares as of the Effective Time effectively withdraws or loses (through passage of time, failure to demand or perfect, or otherwise) the right to demand and perfect appraisal rights under the DGCL, then, as of the later of the Effective Time and the occurrence of such event, such holder’s shares that were Dissenting Shares shall automatically be converted into and represent only the right to receive a portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration pursuant to and subject to Section 1.6 (subject to the Holdback Amount provisions of Section 1.6(b) and the indemnification provisions set forth in ARTICLE VI) without interest thereon upon surrender of the certificate therefor and a Letter of Transmittal with respect thereto in accordance with this Agreement.
          (c) The Company shall give Parent (i) prompt written notice of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the exercise of appraisal rights, withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments or notices served pursuant to the DGCL on the Company and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal under the DGCL. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, voluntarily make or agree to make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal of Company Capital Stock, or settle or offer to settle any such demands.
     1.8. Surrender of Certificates.
          (a) Exchange Procedures. As soon as practicable after the date hereof, the Company will deliver to each Holder, as the holder of record of a certificate or certificates (the “Certificates”) that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock, a letter of transmittal substantially in the form of Exhibit B (the “Letter of Transmittal”). Following the Effective Time and delivery to Parent of a duly completed and executed Letter of Transmittal, together with surrender of a Certificate (or Certificates) for cancellation, each Holder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the portion of the Stockholder Merger Consideration to which such Stockholder is entitled pursuant to Section 1.6 (subject to the Holdback Amount provisions of Section 1.6(b)) and the Certificate(s) so surrendered shall be cancelled.

The Company does not have any other shares of preferred stock or any other shares of capital stock authorized, designated, issued or outstanding. The Company Capital Stock, including all shares subject to the Company’s right of repurchase, is held of record and, to the Company’s knowledge, beneficially by the Persons with the addresses and in the amounts and represented by the certificates set forth on Schedule 2.6(a)(i). More than one-half of the outstanding shares of voting Company Capital Stock are held by Stockholders having addresses outside of California on the books of the Company on the record date for the latest meeting of the Stockholders held during the Company’s latest fiscal year or, if no meeting was held during such year, on the last day of the latest full income year of the Company. All outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock (i) have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid, non-assessable and not subject to preemptive rights or similar rights created by statute, the Company Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws of the Company or any agreement to which the Company is a party, and (ii) have been offered, sold, issued and delivered by the Company in all material respects in compliance with all applicable Laws. There are no declared or accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to any shares of Company Capital Stock. Each share of Company Preferred Stock, except the Series B Preferred Stock, is

          (b) (i) Except for the Company’s 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Company Option Plan”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has ever adopted, sponsored or maintained any stock option plan or any other plan or agreement providing for equity compensation to any Person. The Company Option Plan has been duly authorized, approved and adopted by the Company Board and the Company’s stockholders and is in full force and effect. The Company has reserved for issuance to Employees of and consultants to the Company and its Subsidiaries 592,862,415 shares of Company Common Stock under the Company Option Plan, of which options to purchase 390,487,556 shares of Company Common Stock have been granted and are outstanding (each, a “Company Option”) as of the date hereof.

Each such grant was made in accordance with the terms of the Company Option Plan and applicable Law. The per share exercise price of each Company Option was not less than the fair market value of a share of Company Stock on the applicable date of grant. Each such grant was properly accounted for in all material respects in accordance with GAAP in the financial statements (including the related notes) of the Company and applicable Law. The Company has not granted, and there is no and has been no Company policy or practice to grant, Company options prior to or otherwise coordinate the grant of Company Options with, the release or other public announcement of material information regarding the Company or its financial results or prospects. Schedule 2.6(b) sets forth for each outstanding Company Option, the name of the holder of such option, the domicile address of such holder, an indication of whether such holder is an Employee of the Company any of its Subsidiaries, the date of grant or issuance of such option, the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to such option, the exercise price of such option, the vesting schedule for such option, including the extent vested to the date of this Agreement and whether and to what extent the exercisability of such option will be accelerated and become exercisable as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and whether such Company Option is or is not an incentive stock option as defined in Section 422 of the Code. The cancellation of each Company Option and the termination of the Company Option Plan without the consent of any holder of a Company Option is authorized by the Company Option Plan.
               (ii) The Company has outstanding warrants (each a “Company Warrant”) for the purchase of up to an aggregate of 246,414,197 shares of Company Common Stock, 830,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 38,450,813 shares of Series D Preferred Stock and 195,312,493 shares of Series E Preferred Stock. All Company Warrants have been offered, issued and delivered by the Company in all material respects in compliance with all applicable Laws.

No Company Warrant was issued in a compensatory arrangement or to any Employee.
               (iii) Except for the Company Options and Company Warrants, there are no Company Stock Rights or agreements obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, deliver, sell, repurchase or redeem, or cause to be issued, delivered, sold, repurchased or redeemed, any Company Capital Stock or any capital stock or equity or other ownership interest of the Company or any Subsidiary or any Subsidiary Securities or obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of, change the price of, otherwise amend or enter into any such Company Stock Right.

          (c) Except for the Investor Agreements, there are no (i) voting trusts, proxies, or other agreements or understandings with respect to the voting stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or of which the Company has knowledge, or (ii) agreements or understandings to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound, or of which the Company has knowledge relating to the registration, sale or transfer (including agreements relating to rights of first refusal, “co-sale” rights or “drag-along” rights) of any Company Capital Stock or Subsidiary Securities. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does not implicate any rights or obligations under the Investor Agreements that have not been complied with or waived. The holders of Company Capital Stock, Company Options, Company Warrants and any other Company Stock Rights have been or will be properly given or shall have properly waived any required notice prior to the Merger.
          (d) The Company is the “ultimate parent entity” of the Company and its Subsidiaries as such term is used and defined in the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Company Financial Statements fairly present, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein, subject, in the case of the Interim Financial Statements, to normal year-end adjustments, not material in amount or significance.

The current value of the assets of each such Company Employee Plan, as of the end of the most recently ended plan year of that Company Employee Plan, equals or exceeded the current value of all benefits liabilities under that Company Employee Plan.
          (h) Effect of Transaction. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and any Related Agreement to which the Company is a party, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not conflict with or result in any violation of or default under (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both), or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation, modification or acceleration of any obligation or loss of any benefit under any Company Employee Plan, trust or loan that would reasonably be expected to result in any payment (whether of severance pay or otherwise), acceleration, forgiveness of indebtedness, vesting, distribution, increase in benefits or obligation to fund benefits with respect to any Employee.

          (h) Schedule 2.27(h) lists all jurisdictions (whether foreign or domestic) to which any Tax is properly payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

-43-


 

proposed written communication to any Governmental Entity to the extent that such review will not result in the waiver of any applicable privilege and subject to appropriate confidentiality agreements. The Company and Parent shall each cooperate reasonably with the other in connection with resolving any inquiry or investigation by any Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust Filings.

The Company and Parent shall each give the other reasonable advance notice of, and the opportunity to participate in (directly or through its representatives) any inquiry or investigation by, or any material meeting or conference (whether by telecommunications or in person) with, any Governmental Entity relating to the Antitrust Filings if, in the reasonable judgment of the party that is subject to the inquiry, investigation, meeting or conference, such participation by the other party is prudent and (based upon the advice of legal counsel) legally permissible.

     4.9. Notification of Certain Matters. The Company shall give prompt written notice to Parent, and Parent shall give prompt written notice to the Company, of: (i) the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event that is likely to cause any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect at or prior to the Effective Time; (ii) any failure to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any of its covenants, conditions or agreements to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder; and (iii) any event, condition, fact or circumstance that would reasonably be expected to make any of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE V required to be satisfied by such party incapable of being satisfied in a timely manner; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 4.9 shall not limit or otherwise affect any remedies available to the party receiving such notice.

Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that any violation of the restrictions set forth above by any Representative of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement by the Company.
     4.12. Certain Employment Matters.
          (a) Offers of Employment. Parent may contact the Employees in connection with preparing, making or determining whether to make offers of continued employment with the Company or its Subsidiaries or employment with Parent or any of its Affiliates, in each case on terms and conditions that Parent determines in its sole discretion. The Company shall cooperate with and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist Parent in its efforts to secure satisfactory employment arrangements with the Employees and to obtain executed Offer Package Agreements from each Employee receiving such an offer of employment.

-46-


 

          (b) Offer Package Agreements.

          (c) General Compensation and Benefits of Continuing Employees. Continuing Employees shall receive standard employee benefits, if any, offered by Parent or its Affiliates to its employees of comparable status and, with respect to determination of vacation accrual and vesting in 401(k) plan related benefits, comparable length of service (in determining length of service, Parent shall include each Continuing Employee’s length of service with the Company). Coverage for each Continuing Employee under Parent’s benefit plans and programs shall commence as of 12:01 A.M. on the day such Continuing Employee commences employment with Parent and for those Employees continuing employment after the Closing with the Company or its Subsidiaries on the day designated by Parent in its sole discretion. Subject to the consent of any third-party insurer, no exclusion of conditions pre-existing as of the commencement of the Continuing Employee’s employment with Parent shall be imposed under Parent’s welfare benefit plans and programs except to the extent applicable as of that date under the comparable plan or program of the Company. For purposes of satisfying any deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under Parent’s employee benefit plans, Continuing Employees (and the dependents of such employees) shall receive credit for any co-payments or deductibles paid under an analogous employee benefit plan at the Company.
          (d) No Right to Continued Employment or Benefits. Parent is not under any obligation to hire or retain any Employee, or provide any Employee with any particular benefits, or make any payments or provide any benefits to those Employees whom Parent chooses not to employ or subsequently terminates.
          (e) Company Employee Plans. Effective immediately prior to the Closing, the Company will terminate any and all Company Employee Plans intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code and effective immediately prior to the Closing, no Employee shall have any right to contribute any amounts to any Company Employee Plan intended to qualify as a qualified cash or deferred arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Code. At the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been terminated effective immediately prior to the Closing pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board. In addition, at the request of Parent, the Company will terminate any and all other Company Employee Plans, including any group health, dental, severance, separation or salary continuation plans, programs or arrangements, effective either immediately prior to the Closing or thereafter as specified by Parent and, at the request of Parent, the Company will provide Parent with evidence that such Company Employee Plans have been so terminated pursuant to resolutions duly adopted by the Company Board. The Company also shall take such other commercially reasonable actions in furtherance of terminating such Company Employee Plans as Parent may reasonably require.
     4.13. Section 280G Approval. If the Company is obligated to make any payments, or is a party to any agreement that under certain circumstances could obligate it to make any

-47-


 

payments, that will not be deductible under Section 280G of the Code if the stockholder approval requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code are not satisfied, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such stockholder approval as promptly as is practicable after the date hereof and in any event prior to the Closing Date.
     4.14. Tax Matters.
          (a) Conduct of Business.

-55-


 

inaccuracy of or compliance with or performance of any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation, and no Indemnified Party shall be required to show that it relied on any such representation, warranty, covenant or obligation of the Company in order to be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VI.

     6.4. Procedures.
          (a) General. Promptly after the discovery by any Indemnified Party of any Loss or Losses, claim or breach, including any claim by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”), that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Holder Representative a certificate (a “Claim Certificate”) that:
               (i) states that the Indemnified Party has paid or properly accrued Losses, or reasonably anticipates that it may or will incur liability for Losses, for which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement; and
               (ii) specifies in reasonable detail, to the extent practicable and available, each individual item of Loss included in the amount so stated, the basis for any anticipated liability and the nature of the misrepresentation, default, breach of warranty or breach of covenant or claim to which each such item is related and, to the extent computable, the computation of the amount to which such Indemnified Party claims to be entitled hereunder;
provided, that no delay on the part of any Indemnified Party in notifying the Holder Representative shall relieve the Holders of any liability or obligations hereunder except to the extent that the Holders have been materially prejudiced thereby, and then only to such extent.
          (b) If the Holder Representative objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Holder Representative shall deliver a written notice to such effect to the Indemnified Party within 30 days after receipt by the Holder Representative of such Claim Certificate. Thereafter, the Holder Representative and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties for a period of not less than 60 days after receipt by the Indemnified Party of such written objection with respect to each of such claims to which the Holder Representative has objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative agree with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Holder Representative fail to agree as to any particular item or items

-56-


 

or amount or amounts within such 60-day period, then either party shall be entitled to pursue its available remedies for resolving its claim for indemnification.
          (c) Indemnified Party Defense; Settlement. The Indemnified Party shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of any Third-Party Claim; provided, however, that any settlement of any such Third-Party Claim shall be effected with the prior written consent of the Holder Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If any such action or claim is settled with the prior written consent of the Holder Representative, or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to indemnification for the amount of any Loss relating thereto.
          (d) Holder Defense; Settlement. In the event the Indemnified Party elects not to defend the Third Party Claim, the Holder Representative may defend such claim at the Holders’ sole cost and expense. In such event, neither the Holders nor the Holder Representative shall have any right to settle, adjust or compromise any Third-Party Claim without the express written consent of the Indemnified Party against whom the Third-Party Claim has been asserted, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
          (e) Agreed Claims. Claims for Losses specified in any Claim Certificate to which the Holder Representative did not object in writing within 30 days of receipt of such Claim Certificate, claims for Losses covered by a memorandum of agreement of the nature described in Section 6.4(b) and claims for Losses the validity and amount of which have been the subject of resolution by arbitration or of a final non-appealable judicial determination are hereinafter referred to, collectively, as “Agreed Claims.” The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to payment for any Agreed Claim within ten Business Days of the determination of the amount of any such Agreed Claims.
     6.5. Holdback Amount.
          (a) In the event an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification by the Holders for Losses under this ARTICLE VI, Parent shall be entitled to retain, and shall no longer be obligated to release to the Holders, a portion of the Holdback Amount equal to the amount of such Losses.
          (b) On the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Parent shall release and pay to the Holders each Holder’s Pro Rata Share of the Holdback Amount which is not then subject to claims made pursuant to Section 6.4 or offset by any Losses described in a Claim Certificate delivered to Seller prior to such date and previously retained by Parent pursuant to Section 6.5(a). In the event that, after the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any portion of the Holdback Amount is no longer subject to claims made pursuant to Section 6.4 or offset for Losses due to a final settlement or adjudication of the claim with respect to such Losses, Parent shall promptly release to the Holders each Holder’s Pro Rata Share of such portion of the Holdback Amount.
     6.6. Merger Consideration Adjustment. The Company, Parent, the Holder Representative and the Holders agree to treat each indemnification payment pursuant to this
