NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and representations
contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby
agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE MERGER AND STOCK PURCHASE
1.1
The Merger.
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in accordance with the Delaware
General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), at the Effective Time
(as defined in Section 1.2 hereof), Edify shall merge with Merger Sub,
with Edify being the surviving corporation (hereinafter sometimes called the
“Surviving Corporation”) in the Merger. Upon consummation of
the Merger, the corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and the Surviving
Corporation shall continue to exist as a Delaware corporation, and a wholly
owned subsidiary of Purchaser.

1.2
Effective Time.
The
Merger shall become effective on the Closing Date (as defined in
Article 2), upon the filing of a certificate of merger (the “Certificate
of Merger”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (or
at such later time as may be agreed by the parties in writing and specified in
the Certificate of Merger). The term “Effective Time” shall
be the date and time when the Merger becomes effective as set forth in the
Certificate of Merger.
1.3
Effects of the Merger.
At
and after the Effective Time, the Merger shall have the effects set forth in
Sections 259 and 261 of the DGCL.
1.4
Conversion of Edify Common Stock Merger Consideration.
(a) At
the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock,
including, without limitation, any shares resulting from the exercise of stock
options pursuant to Section 1.6 or otherwise, $.0001 par value per share,
of Edify (“Edify Common Stock”) shall, by virtue of this
Agreement and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be
converted into and exchangeable for an aggregate of $33,500,000.00 in cash (the
“Merger Consideration”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, all
Appraisal Shares (as defined in Section 1.14), in the event Appraisal
Rights (as defined in Section 1.14) shall apply, shall not be so
converted, and the portion of the consideration that would have been issued in
the Merger to holders of such Appraisal Shares shall be retained by Purchaser.
If by the Closing Date S1 and Edify have received neither the Required Consent
(as defined in this Section 1.4) nor reasonably satisfactory documentation
indicating that the Required Consent is not necessary, and unless the Required
Consent has been constructively received, at the Closing Purchaser will
(i) pay to S1 the mathematical difference between (A) the Merger
Consideration and (B) that amount reflected on Exhibit 1.4A attached
hereto opposite the designation of the contract to which the applicable
Required Consent relates (the “Holdback Amount”) and
(ii) pay the Holdback Amount to Wachovia Bank, National Association or
other mutually agreed escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”) to
disburse pursuant to the escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit 1.4B (the “Escrow Agreement”). S1 and Edify
will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain on or before the Closing
Date consent to assignment with respect to that contract described on
Exhibit 1.4A attached hereto (collectively, the “Required Consent”).
(b) At
the Effective Time, all of the shares of Edify Common Stock converted into the
Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 1 shall no longer be
outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and
all of such certificates (each a “Certificate”) previously
representing such shares of Edify Common Stock shall thereafter represent the
collective right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the
ownership interests represented by such Certificates.
(c) At
the Effective Time, all shares of Edify Common Stock that are owned by Edify as
treasury stock shall be canceled and shall cease to exist and no Merger
Consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
2
1.5
Conversion of Merger Sub Common Stock.
Each
of the shares of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Merger Sub
issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall become
shares of the Surviving Corporation after the Merger and shall thereupon
constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving
Corporation.
1.6
Options.
At
the Effective Time, all options to purchase Edify Common Stock (“Options”)
granted under the Option Plans (as defined in Section 3.2(a)) or
otherwise, which are outstanding and unexercised immediately prior thereto,
whether or not vested, shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any further
action on the part of Edify or the holder thereof, terminate, and the Option
Plans shall terminate. None of the Option Plans will be continued and none of
the Options will be assumed, or substituted for, in connection with the Merger.
Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, Edify shall furnish a
written notice to each optionee notifying them of their rights under the Option
Plans. In the event that any of the Options are exercised for shares of Edify
Common Stock prior to the Closing, such shares of Edify Common Stock shall be
converted into and exchangeable for the pro rata portion of the Merger
Consideration represented by such shares in accordance with Section 1.4.
1.7
Certificate of Incorporation.
Immediately
following the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Merger Sub
shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation.
1.8
By-Laws.
Immediately
following the Effective Time, the By-Laws of Merger Sub shall be the By-Laws of
the Surviving Corporation.
1.9
Directors and Officers.
At
the Effective Time, the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation. At the
Effective Time, the officers of Merger Sub immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall be the officers of the Surviving Corporation.
1.10
Exchange of Certificates.
At
the Closing, Purchaser shall exchange Certificates for the Merger
Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate to Purchaser, the holder of such
Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a company check
issued by Purchaser or a wire transfer in an amount equal to that which such
holder shall have become entitled pursuant to the provisions of Article 1
hereof, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. On the
Closing Date, Edify will provide Purchaser with a certificate setting forth the
stockholders of Edify as of the Effective Time.
3
1.11
Consent and Waiver of Notice.
By
signing this Agreement, Edify Holding hereby waives notice of a meeting of
stockholders of Edify and adopts and approves this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby.
1.12
Stock Purchase.
On
the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained herein,
subject to and immediately following the Effective Time and the distribution of
the Merger Consideration by Edify Holding to S1, S1 will sell to Purchaser, and
Purchaser will purchase from S1, all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Edify Holding, par value $0.001 per share, for an aggregate of
$1.00 in cash. The parties acknowledge and agree that immediately following the
Effective Time and prior to the consummation of the Stock Purchase, Edify
Holding will distribute the Merger Consideration to S1.
1.13
Edify Cash Balance.
After
the settlement of all intercompany activity between S1 and Edify for the period
from October 1, 2005 through the Closing Date, the target Adjusted Working
Capital (working capital excluding current deferred revenue) for Edify, Edify
Holding and Subsidiaries will be $3,900,000 (the “Contemplated Working
Capital”) on the Closing Date. (For the avoidance of doubt,
settlement of all intercompany activity includes (i) to the extent Edify
has a net receivable from S1 as of the Closing Date, the payment from S1 to
Edify of such balance due, and (ii) to the extent Edify has a net payable
to S1 on the Closing Date, the foregiveness of such debt by S1). To the extent
the actual Adjusted Working Capital on the Closing Date (the “Actual
Working Capital”) is less than the Contemplated Working Capital, S1
will pay Purchaser the difference within 60 days after the Closing Date.
To the extent the Actual Working Capital exceeds the Contemplated Working
Capital, Purchaser will pay S1 the difference within 60 days after the
Closing Date. Purchaser will promptly (and, in any event, within 28 days
after the Closing Date) determine the Actual Working Capital and will communicate
such determination to S1, which shall promptly (and, in any event, within
14 days after S1’s receipt of Purchaser’s determination)
communicate any proposed adjustments to Purchaser. If S1 and Purchaser are not
able to agree on the Actual Working Capital within 60 days after the
Closing Date, S1 and Purchaser shall select an independent accounting firm (the
“Firm”) to determine the Actual Working Capital. Any such
determination shall be final and binding on both S1 and Purchaser. Any
difference between the Actual Working Capital, as determined by the Firm, and
the Contemplated Working Capital shall be paid within 10 days after such
determination. S1 and Purchaser shall pay in equal proportion the fees and
expenses of the Firm in determining the Actual Working Capital.
1.14
Appraisal Rights.
The
parties do not believe that any appraisal rights provided by the DGCL (“Appraisal
Rights”) are or shall be available to the stockholders of Edify in
connection with the Merger. However, if at any time following the date hereof a
contrary conclusion is reached, the parties intend to fully comply with the
provisions of the DGCL relating thereto with respect to any shares of Edify
Common Stock which are not voted in favor of the Merger and with
4
respect to which a demand for
appraisal shall have been properly made in the manner provided by the DGCL
(“Appraisal Shares”).
ARTICLE 2
CLOSING
Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the
“Closing”) will take place at 10:00 a.m., Washington
D.C. time, at the offices of Hogan & Hartson L.L.P., 555 Thirteenth Street,
N.W., Washington, D.C., as soon as reasonably practicable upon satisfaction or
waiver of all conditions precedent specified under Article 8 hereof (except
for those conditions which by their terms are to be satisfied at Closing), or
on such other date, place and time as the parties may agree in writing (the
“Closing Date”).
