correspondingly adjusted.
(g) If payment is to be made
to a Person other than the registered holder of the OSI Shares or
Stock Units initially represented by the book entry of OSI, it
shall be a condition to such payment that the book entry transfer
procedures be satisfied in advance of such payment and further that
the Person requesting such payment shall pay (i) to the
Exchange Agent any applicable stock transfer Taxes required as a
result of such payment to a Person other than the book entry
registered holder of such OSI Shares or (ii) establish to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such stock
transfer taxes have been paid or are not payable.

1.5 Stockholders’
Rights upon Merger.
(a) Upon consummation of the

the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance

Agreement and with respect to which appraisal rights have been
properly and timely perfected in accordance with Section 262
of the DGCL (the “ Dissenting Shares ”) shall
not be converted into the right to receive such Merger
Consideration at or after the Effective Time. If a holder of
Dissenting Shares effectively withdraws or loses his, her or its
right to appraisal and payment under the DGCL, then, as of the
Effective Time or the occurrence of such event, whichever later
occurs, such holder’s Dissenting Shares shall cease to be OSI

, the applicable Closing Merger Consideration payable in accordance

holders of the OSI Common Stock, the holders of the Class A
Preferred Stock and the holders of the Stock Units in accordance
with Schedule 1.6 .
(b) At the Closing, Buyer, on
behalf of OSI and in accordance with the terms of and pursuant to

entitled to receive for each Stock Unit an amount determined as set
forth on Schedule 1.6 .
1.8 Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws of Surviving Corporation. At the

indemnification rights (including any rights to mandatory
advancement of expenses) to which such Indemnified Parties are
entitled, whether from OSI or the OSI Subsidiaries, immediately
prior to the Merger, whether under the DGCL, the Organizational

Party which are listed on Schedule 1.12(a) .

insurance maintained by OSI or the OSI Subsidiaries (the “
Current Policies ”), with such Tail Insurance Policies
providing at least the terms and conditions described on
Schedule 1.12(b) ; provided, however, that in no event shall
Buyer be obligated to incur, on an annual basis, with respect to
one or more of such policies, an aggregate premium cost of greater
than $400,000.
(c) This
Section 1.12 shall survive the Closing and is intended
to benefit each of the Indemnified Parties and such covered
persons’ respective heirs and representatives
(each
5
of whom shall be entitled to enforce
this Section 1.12 against Buyer and the Surviving
Corporation and their respective affiliates) and shall be binding
on all successors and assigns of Buyer and the Surviving
Corporation and their respective affiliates.
1.13 Tangible Net Worth
Adjustment.
(a) The Stockholders’
Representative shall cause to be prepared a schedule of Tangible
Net Worth (as defined below) (the “ Tangible Net Worth
Schedule ”), determined in accordance with the accounting
methodologies set forth on Schedule 1.13(a) . The
Stockholders’ Representative shall deliver the Tangible Net
Worth Schedule to Buyer within ninety (90) days after the
Closing Date. Buyer shall review the Tangible Net Worth Schedule
and, in connection therewith, Buyer and its accountants shall be
entitled to review the Stockholders’ Representative’s
working papers, trial balances and similar materials relating to
the Stockholders’ Representative’s preparation of the
Tangible Net Worth Schedule. The Tangible Net Worth Schedule shall
be deemed final (the “ Final Tangible Net Worth
Schedule ”) upon the earliest of (i) the date on
which Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative agree that
the Tangible Net Worth Schedule is final, (ii) if Buyer has
not earlier notified the Stockholders’ Representative, in
writing, of a dispute in amounts shown on the Tangible Net Worth
Schedule (a “ Notice of Dispute ”), the twenty
fifth (25 th ) business day after delivery of the Tangible Net Worth
Schedule by the Stockholders’ Representative to Buyer, or
(iii) the date on which any disputes relating to the Tangible
Net Worth Schedule are resolved, as described in this
Section 1.13 . The Tangible Net Worth, determined by
reference to the Final Tangible Net Worth Schedule, is referred to
herein as the “ Closing Date Tangible Net Worth
”. For purposes of this Section 1.13 , “
Tangible Net Worth ” shall mean the excess of
OSI’s total assets (other than OSI’s intangible
assets), including cash (for clarification, other than the Escrow
Amount), prepaid expenses, Accounts Receivable, fixed and other
tangible assets as of the Closing Date (calculated immediately
following any payment made pursuant to Section 1.13(f)
) over OSI’s total liabilities (other than Notes Payable and
Balance Sheet Environmental Liabilities and mandatorily redeemable
preferred stock) including accrued expenses and accounts payable,
as of the Closing Date, determined in accordance with GAAP
consistently applied; provided, however, that (i) all OSI
fees, costs, payments, and expenses for advisors, brokers, lawyers,
accountants and other professionals, and payments due to employees
that arise solely as a result of a change of control, in each case,
incurred, or to be incurred, in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall have either been paid prior to
the Closing Date or accrued as a liability on the Tangible Net
Worth Schedule regardless of whether or not required by GAAP, and
(ii) any portion of a retention payment payable to an employee
but not specifically in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement shall be accrued as a liability on
the Tangible Net Worth Schedule to the extent required by GAAP.
Also attached as Schedule 1.13(a) is a sample calculation of
Tangible Net Worth.
(b) If Buyer disputes the
Closing Date Tangible Net Worth as calculated by the
Stockholders’ Representative, not more than twenty five
(25) business days after the date Buyer receives such Tangible
Net Worth Schedule, Buyer shall deliver to the Stockholders’
Representative a Notice of Dispute. Upon receipt of the Notice of
Dispute, Buyer and the Stockholders’ Representative shall
promptly consult with each other with respect to the specified
points of disagreement in an effort to resolve the dispute. If any
such dispute cannot be resolved by Buyer and the
Stockholders’ Representative within twenty five
(25) business days after the
6
Stockholders’ Representative
receives the Notice of Dispute, Buyer and the Stockholders’
Representative shall jointly refer the dispute to KPMG LLP or such
other national accounting firm that has no material relationship
with any of the parties as the parties may mutually agree upon
(“ Accountant ”) as an arbitrator to finally
resolve, as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five
(45) calendar days after such reference, those items and
amounts specifically set forth and objected to in the Notice of
Dispute with respect to the Closing Date Tangible Net Worth
reflected on the Tangible Net Worth Schedule. For purposes of such
arbitration each of the Stockholders’ Representative and
Buyer shall submit a proposed calculation of the Closing Date
Tangible Net Worth. The Accountant shall apply the terms of this
Section 1.13 and shall otherwise conduct the
arbitration under such procedures as the parties may agree or,
failing such agreement, under the then prevailing Commercial Rules
of the American Arbitration Association. Each of the parties shall
bear its own expenses in connection with the arbitration. The fees
and expenses of the Accountant incurred in connection with the
arbitration of the Closing Date Tangible Net Worth shall be
allocated fifty percent (50%) to the Stockholders’
Representative and fifty percent (50%) to Buyer; provided,
that such fees and expenses shall not include, so long as a party
complies with the procedures of this Section 1.13 , the
other party’s outside counsel or accounting fees. All
determinations by the Accountant shall be final, conclusive and
binding with respect to the Closing Date Tangible Net Worth, in the
absence of fraud or manifest error. The scope of the disputes to be
arbitrated by the Accountant is limited to whether the calculation
of Closing Date Tangible Net Worth was done in a manner consistent
with this Agreement and Schedule 1.13 . The date on which
the Closing Date Tangible Net Worth is finally determined in
accordance with this Section 1.13(a) is hereinafter
referred to as, the “ Determination Date
”.
(c) “ Tangible Net
Worth Adjustment ”, which may be positive or negative,
means (i) the Closing Date Tangible Net Worth, minus
(ii) $29,100,000 (the “ Targeted Amount ”)
and minus (iii) the Estimated Tangible Net Worth
Amount.
(d) If the Tangible Net Worth
Adjustment is a positive number, then, promptly following the
Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) business
days of the Determination Date, Buyer shall deposit (by wire
transfer of immediately available funds) in the Stockholders’
Representative’s Post-Closing Account (defined below), for
distribution to the stockholders of OSI and holders of Stock Units,
the Tangible Net Worth Adjustment, together with interest thereon,
calculated from the Determination Date, at the Federal Funds Rate
as it appears in the Wall Street Journal from the Closing Date,
determined based upon a 360-day year. For purposes of this
Agreement, “ Stockholder’s Representative’s
Post-Closing Account ” shall mean a bank account to be
established by Stockholder’s Representative and
Stockholder’s Representative will provide the appropriate
information regarding such account to Buyer in writing within five
(5) days following the Closing. Further, the Tangible Net
Worth Escrow Amount shall be distributed out of the Escrow Amount
to the Stockholders’ Representative for distribution to the
Stockholders of OSI and the holders of Stock Units.
(e) If the Tangible Net Worth
Adjustment is a negative number, then, promptly following the
Determination Date, and in any event within five (5) business
days of the Determination Date, the parties shall cause the Escrow
Agent to pay (by wire transfer of immediately available funds) to
Buyer out of the Escrow Amount an amount equal to the lesser of
(A) the Tangible Net Worth Adjustment, together with any
interest earned on that portion of
7
the Escrow Amount equal to the Tangible
Net Worth Adjustment or (B) the full amount of the Escrow
Amount, together with interest thereon, calculated from the
Determination Date, at the Federal Funds Rate as it appears in the
Wall Street Journal from the Closing Date, determined based
upon a 360-day year. Any payments required to be made under this
Section 1.13(e) shall be paid out of the Escrow Amount
to the extent funds are available (i.e., first out of the Tangible
Net Worth Escrow Amount and, if insufficient, then out of the
Indemnification Escrow Amount), it being understood and agreed that
the Escrow Amount shall be the sole recourse of Buyer for claims
under this Section 1.13(e) and that no recourse may be
sought directly against any stockholder of OSI.
(f) At the
Closing, Seller shall make a voluntary prepayment of up
to $10,000,000 toward the outstanding principal amount due under
Seller’s Credit Facility (as defined on Schedule 1.3(a));
provided, however, in no event shall Seller be required
to make any payment that, in Seller’s good
faith judgment, would cause the actual operating
cash balance at such time to be less than
$20,000,000.
1.14 Tangible Net Worth
Escrow. $10,000,000 (the “ Tangible Net Worth
Escrow Deposit ”), together with any income earned
thereon, less any reasonable expenses incurred by the
Stockholders’ Representative in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the
“ Tangible Net Worth Escrow Amount ”), shall be
distributed to the stockholders of OSI and the holders of the Stock
Units in accordance with the terms of such Escrow Agreement,
subject to the right of Buyer to have such Tangible Net Worth
Escrow Amount available to it on the terms and conditions set forth
in Section 1.13 and in the Escrow Agreement.
1.15 Indemnification
Escrow. $10,000,000 (the “ Indemnification Escrow
Deposit ”), together with any income earned thereon, less
any reasonable expenses incurred by the Stockholders’
Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement (collectively, the “ Indemnification Escrow
Amount ” and, together with the Tangible Net Worth Escrow
Amount, the “ Escrow Amount ”), shall be
distributed to the stockholders of OSI and the holders of Stock
Units in accordance with the terms of such Escrow Agreement,
subject to the right of Buyer to have such Indemnification Escrow
Amount available to it on the terms and conditions set forth in
Article VIII and in the Escrow Agreement.
1.16
Withholding. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, Buyer (or Exchange Agent acting on behalf of Buyer) will
be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise
payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as
Buyer or the Surviving Corporation, as the case may be, is required
to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment
under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “
Code ”), or any provision of state, local or foreign
Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld and paid over
to the appropriate Taxing Authority by Buyer or the Surviving
Corporation, such withheld amounts will 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 Buyer or the
Surviving Corporation.
