AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF
MERGER
THIS
AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “ Agreement
”) dated as of October 11, 2005 is made by and among
Team Health Holdings, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company
(the “ Company ”), Team Health, Inc., a
Tennessee corporation and majority-owned subsidiary of the Company
(“ Team ”), Team Finance LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
(“ Team Finance ”), Team Health MergerSub, Inc.,
a Tennessee corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Team
Finance (“ Team MergerSub ”), Ensemble Parent
LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“ Purchaser
”), and Ensemble Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Purchaser
(“ PurchaserSub ”). Certain capitalized terms
used herein have the meanings set forth in Article 10
.
WHEREAS,
the stockholders of PurchaserSub seek to acquire a controlling
interest in the Company through a transaction intended by Purchaser
to be accounted for as a recapitalization;
WHEREAS,
in connection with such recapitalization, it is also necessary to
effect a reorganization of Team in which Team MergerSub will merge
with and into Team, with (a) the Team Common Shares held by
stockholders of Team, other than the Company, being converted into
Company Common Units, (b) the Team Common Shares held by the
Company being cancelled and (c) the shares of common stock of
Team MergerSub being converted into shares of common stock of the
surviving corporation of the merger, such that Team will become a
direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Team Finance and an indirect
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, pursuant to the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the TBCA;
WHEREAS,
the recapitalization will involve a merger, to be consummated
immediately after the Reorganization Merger, in which PurchaserSub
will merge with and into the Company, with the Company Common Units
(subject to certain exceptions described in this Agreement) being
converted into the right to receive cash and the shares of
PurchaserSub being converted into common units of the Surviving
Company, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement and the LLC Act;
WHEREAS,
the board of managers of the Company, the managing member of Team
Finance, the board of directors of Team and the managers of
Purchaser and PurchaserSub have each approved and adopted this
Agreement and the terms and conditions of the acquisition of the
Company and, thereby, the acquisition of Team by Purchaser to be
effected by the foregoing mergers;
WHEREAS,
Team Finance, as the sole stockholder of Team MergerSub, has duly
approved and adopted this Agreement, the Reorganization Merger and
the transactions contemplated hereby, in accordance with the
TBCA;
WHEREAS,
the requisite members of the Company and Purchaser, as the sole
stockholder of PurchaserSub, have duly approved and adopted this
Agreement, the Recapitalization Merger and the transactions
contemplated hereby, in accordance with the LLC Act; and
WHEREAS,
as an inducement for the Company, Team, Team Finance and Team
MergerSub to enter into this Agreement, Blackstone Capital Partners
IV L.P., currently the sole member of Purchaser, has, on the date
hereof, executed and delivered to the Company a limited guaranty
(the “ Guaranty ”) of the obligations of
Purchaser and PurchaserSub hereunder.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and of the
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree
as follows:
ARTICLE 1
THE REORGANIZATION MERGER
SECTION 1.01. The Reorganization Merger.
(a) At
the Reorganization Effective Time, Team MergerSub shall be merged
with and into Team in accordance with the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and the TBCA (the “ Reorganization
Merger ”), at which time the separate existence of Team
MergerSub shall cease and Team shall continue its existence. In its
capacity as the corporation surviving the Reorganization Merger,
Team is sometimes referred to as the “ Surviving
Corporation .”
(b) As
soon as practicable after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted
hereby, waiver of all conditions to the Recapitalization Merger set
forth herein (other than the occurrence of the Reorganization
Merger), Team and Team MergerSub shall cause articles of merger,
substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (the
“ Reorganization Certificate of Merger ”), to be
executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of the
State of Tennessee (the “ Tennessee Secretary ”)
and make all other filings or recordings required by the TBCA in
connection with the Reorganization Merger. The “
Reorganization Effective Time ” shall be the date and
time that the Reorganization Certificate of Merger is filed with
the Tennessee Secretary (unless a later date and/or time is
otherwise agreed upon by the parties and specified in an amendment
to this Agreement, in which case, the Reorganization Effective Time
shall be the date and time so specified).
(c) From
and after the Reorganization Effective Time, the Reorganization
Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 48-21-108
of the TBCA.
(d) The
closing of the Reorganization Merger shall be held at the offices
of Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New
York, New York (or such other place as agreed by the parties)
immediately prior to the Closing, unless the parties hereto agree
on another date or time.
SECTION 1.02. Organizational Documents. At the
Reorganization Effective Time (i) the certificate of
incorporation of Team in effect at the Reorganization Effective
Time shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving
Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with applicable
Law and (ii) the by-laws of Team in effect immediately prior
to the Reorganization Effective Time shall be the by-laws of the
Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended in accordance with
applicable Law.
SECTION 1.03. Directors and Officers. From and after the
Reorganization Effective Time (until successors are duly elected or
appointed and qualified), Team MergerSub’s
2
directors at
the Reorganization Effective Time shall be the Surviving
Corporation’s directors and Team’s officers at the
Reorganization Effective Time shall be the Surviving
Corporation’s officers.
SECTION 1.04. Conversion of Capital Stock. At the
Reorganization Effective Time and by virtue of the Reorganization
Merger and without any action on the part of Team, Team MergerSub
or Team Finance or their respective equity holders:
(a) Each
share of common stock, no par value share, of Team MergerSub
outstanding immediately prior to the Reorganization Effective Time
shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving
Corporation.
(b) Each
share of Common Stock, no par value per share, of Team (each, a
“ Team Common Share ”) outstanding immediately
prior to the Reorganization Effective Time held by the Company
shall be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no
payment shall be made in respect thereof.
(c) Except
as otherwise provided in Sections 1.04(d) and
(e) , each Team Common Share outstanding immediately prior
to the Reorganization Effective Time held by any Person other than
the Company (each a “ Team Converting Holder ”)
shall be converted into the right to receive one (1) Company
Common Unit. The Company Common Units issued pursuant to this
Section 1.04(c) are referred to herein as the “
Reorganization Merger Consideration .” All such Team
Common Shares, when so converted pursuant to this
Section 1.04(c) , shall no longer be outstanding, shall
automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist.
Each holder of Team Common Shares converted pursuant to this
Section 1.04(c) shall cease to have any rights with
respect thereto, except the right to receive, without interest, the
applicable Reorganization Merger Consideration.
(d) Each
Team Common Share held by Team as treasury stock immediately prior
to the Reorganization Effective Time shall automatically be
canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no payment shall
be made in respect thereof.
(e) Each
Team Common Share owned by any Subsidiary of Team immediately prior
to the Reorganization Effective Time shall automatically be
converted into one validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable
share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.
SECTION 1.05. Exchange of Certificates.
(a)
Exchange Agent . The Company shall act as exchange agent for
the purpose of effectuating the exchange of the Reorganization
Merger Consideration pursuant to this Article 1 for stock
certificates (“ Team Certificates ”) that
immediately prior to the Reorganization Effective Time represented
outstanding Team Common Shares, which were converted into the right
to receive the Reorganization Merger Consideration.
(b)
Exchange Procedures . At the Reorganization Effective Time,
the Company shall make the Reorganization Merger Consideration
available to the Team Converting Holders for exchange in accordance
with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. At the
Reorganization Effective Time, upon surrender to the Company by a
Team Converting Holder of
3
Team
Certificates representing the number of Team Common Shares held by
such holder, together with a duly executed and completed
Transmittal Letter and such other documentation evidencing such
holder’s ownership of such Team Common Shares as may
reasonably be requested by the Company, such holder of such Team
Certificates shall be entitled to immediately receive in exchange
therefor the portion of the Reorganization Merger Consideration
(less any required withholding Taxes) to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to this Article 1 in respect of the
Team Common Shares represented by such Team Certificate. Until
surrendered as contemplated by this Section 1.05 , each
Team Certificate shall be deemed upon and at any time after the
Reorganization Effective Time to represent only the right to
receive the appropriate amount of the Reorganization Merger
Consideration without interest as provided in this
Article 1 . If any portion of the Reorganization Merger
Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the Person in
whose name the Team Certificate is registered, it shall be a
condition to such payment that the Team Certificate so surrendered
shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for
transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall pay to
the Company, on behalf of the Surviving Corporation, any transfer
or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person
other than the registered holder of such Team Certificate or
establish to the satisfaction of the Company that such Tax has been
paid or is not payable. If any Team Certificate shall have been
lost, stolen or destroyed, upon (i) the making of an affidavit
of that fact and (ii) providing to the Surviving Corporation a
personal indemnity against any claim that may be made against the
Surviving Corporation or the Company with respect to such Team
Certificate by the Person claiming such Team Certificate to be
lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company will deliver in exchange for
such lost, stolen or destroyed Team Certificate, the appropriate
amount of Reorganization Merger Consideration, as contemplated by
this Article 1 .
(c)
No Further Ownership Rights in the Team Common Shares . All
Reorganization Merger Consideration paid upon surrender of Team
Certificates in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to
have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to
the Team Common Shares represented thereby. As of the
Reorganization Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Team
shall be closed and there shall be no further registration of
transfers on Team’s stock transfer books of the Team Common
Shares formerly owned by the Team Converting Holders. If, after the
Reorganization Effective Time, Team Certificates are presented to
the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled
and exchanged for the appropriate Reorganization Merger
Consideration as provided in this Section 1.05
.
(d)
Treatment of Converted Team Common Shares in the
Recapitalization Merger . The Company Common Units issuable to
the Team Converting Holders upon conversion of their respective
Team Common Shares in the Reorganization Merger shall be deemed to
be issued and outstanding and held by the Team Converting Holders
as of the Recapitalization Effective Time, whether or not the
exchange procedures set forth in this Section 1.05 have
been completed with respect to such shares; provided that in
order to actually receive the portion of the Recapitalization
Merger Consideration to which any such holder is otherwise
entitled, such holder must first comply with the exchange
procedures provided in this Section 1.05 .
(e)
Adjustments . If during the period between the date of this
Agreement and the Reorganization Effective Time, any change in the
outstanding shares of capital stock of Team shall occur, including
by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split
or
4
combination,
exchange or readjustment of Team Common Shares, or stock dividend
thereon with a record date during such period, the Reorganization
Merger Consideration, and any other amounts payable pursuant to
this Agreement, shall be appropriately adjusted; provided
that no such adjustment shall be made as a result of the exercise
during such period of Team Options outstanding on the date
hereof.
(f)
Withholding Rights . The Company shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person
pursuant to this Article 1 such amounts as it is
required to deduct or withhold with respect to the making of such
payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax
Law. If the Company so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to
the holder of the Team Common Shares in respect of which the
Company made such deduction or withholding.
SECTION 1.06. Options. Team shall cause all outstanding
options, warrants and rights to acquire Team Common Shares to be
canceled, as of the Reorganization Effective Time, and, (x) in
exchange for such cancellation, each holder of a Team Option (a
“ Team Option Holder ”) shall be entitled to a
right to receive, at the Recapitalization Effective Time, the
product of (i) the excess, if any, of $59.01333 (the “
Per Team Option Merger Consideration ”), subject to
adjustment as set forth in Section 2.06 , over the
applicable exercise price per share of such Team Option multiplied
by (ii) the number of Team Common Shares such holder could
have purchased if such holder had exercised such Team Option in
full immediately prior to such time and (y) all other Options
shall be cancelled without creating or incurring any liability or
obligation on the part of Team or any of its Affiliates. The
consideration provided for in this Section 1.06 is
collectively referred to herein as the “ Team Option
Merger Consideration .” Each of the Surviving Corporation
and the Company, in its capacity as exchange agent, shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from the Team Option Merger
Consideration otherwise payable hereunder to any Person such
amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to
the making of such payment under any provision of Federal, state,
local or foreign income Tax Law. To the extent that the Surviving
Corporation or the Company, in its capacity as exchange agent, so
withholds those amounts, such withheld amounts shall be treated for
all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Team
Option Holder in respect of which such deduction and withholding
was made. The Company and Team shall take all action reasonably
necessary (including the adoption of any necessary resolutions,
plan amendments and/or the obtaining of any necessary consents) in
order to effect the foregoing and to ensure that, as of the
Reorganization Effective Time, all Options terminate or otherwise
cease to be outstanding.
ARTICLE 2
THE RECAPITALIZATION MERGER
SECTION 2.01. The Recapitalization Merger.
(a) At
the Recapitalization Effective Time, PurchaserSub shall be merged
with and into the Company in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement and the LLC Act (the “
Recapitalization Merger ”), at which time the separate
existence of PurchaserSub shall cease and the Company shall
continue its existence. In its capacity as the limited liability
company surviving the Recapitalization Merger, the Company is
sometimes referred to as the “ Surviving Company
.”
5
(b) As
soon as practicable after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted
hereby, waiver of all conditions to the Recapitalization Merger set
forth herein, the Company and PurchaserSub shall cause to be
executed, acknowledged and filed a certificate of merger,
substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto
(the “ Recapitalization Certificate of Merger
”), with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the
“ Secretary ”) and make all other filings or
recordings required by Section 18-209 of the LLC Act in
connection with the Recapitalization Merger; provided that,
for the avoidance of doubt, none of the parties hereto shall be
obligated to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby prior
to the date specified for Closing in Section 2.01(d) .
The “ Recapitalization Effective Time ” shall be
the later of the date and time that the Recapitalization
Certificate of Merger is filed with the Secretary and immediately
after the date and time of the Reorganization Effective Time
(unless a later date and/or time is otherwise agreed upon by the
parties and specified in the Recapitalization Certificate of
Merger, in which case, the Recapitalization Effective Time shall be
the date and time so specified).
(c) From
and after the Recapitalization Effective Time, the Recapitalization
Merger shall have the effects set forth in Section 18-209 of
the LLC Act.
(d) The
closing of the Recapitalization Merger (the “ Closing
”) shall be held at the offices of Simpson Thacher &
Bartlett LLP, 425 Lexington Avenue, New York, New York (or such
other place as agreed by the parties) on a date to be specified by
the parties, which shall be the later of (i) the third
Business Day after satisfaction or, to the extent permitted hereby,
waiver by the party or parties entitled to the benefit of the
conditions set forth in Article 8 (other than those to
be satisfied at the Closing itself), and (ii) the earlier of
(x) a date during the Marketing Period to be specified by
Purchaser on no less than three Business Days’ notice to the
Company and (y) the final day of the Marketing Period, unless,
in any case the parties hereto agree on another date in writing.
The date on which the Closing is held is herein referred to as the
“ Closing Date .”
SECTION 2.02. Organizational Documents. At the
Recapitalization Effective Time (i) the certificate of
formation of the Company in effect at the Recapitalization
Effective Time shall be the certificate of formation of the
Surviving Company until thereafter amended in accordance with
applicable Law and (ii) the limited liability company
agreement of PurchaserSub in effect immediately prior to the
Recapitalization Effective Time shall be the limited liability
company agreement of the Surviving Company until thereafter amended
in accordance with applicable Law; provided that such
limited liability company agreement shall reflect “Team
Health Holdings, L.L.C.” as the name of the Surviving Company
as of the Recapitalization Effective Time.
SECTION 2.03. Directors and Officers. From and after the
Recapitalization Effective Time (until successors are duly elected
or appointed and qualified), the members of the board of managers
of PurchaserSub at the Recapitalization Effective Time shall be the

(such Company Common Units, the “ Retained Units
”), which represent at least 357,184 Company Common Units,
shall not be converted into the right to receive cash in accordance
with Section 2.04(b) , but shall be converted into one
validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Class A Common
Unit of the Surviving Company (such Common Units, the “
Exchange Units ”). The Retained Units are, as of the

each of the parties hereto, to designate additional Company Common

specified in such holder’s Transmittal Letter, in exchange
therefor the amount of the Recapitalization Merger Consideration
(less any required withholding Taxes) to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to this Article 2 in respect of such
Company Common Units. Until surrendered as contemplated by this
Section 2.05 , each holder of Company Common Units
(other than the Retained Units) shall be deemed upon and at any
time after the Recapitalization Effective Time to have only the
right to receive the appropriate amount of the Recapitalization
Merger Consideration without interest as provided in this
Article 2 . If any portion of the Recapitalization
Merger Consideration is to be paid to a Person other than the
Person in whose name the Company Common Units are registered, it
shall be a condition to such payment that the Company Common Units
so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper
form for transfer and that the Person requesting such payment shall
pay to Purchaser, on behalf of the Surviving Company, any transfer
or other Taxes required as a result of such payment to a Person

completed Transmittal Letter and such other documentation
evidencing such holder’s ownership of such holder’s
Retained Units as may reasonably be requested by Purchaser, such
holder of such Retained Units shall be entitled to immediately
receive in exchange therefor the aggregate number of Exchange Units
(less any required withholding Taxes) to which such holder is
entitled pursuant to this Article 2 in respect of the
Retained Units held by such holder. Until surrendered as
contemplated by this Section 2.05 , each holder of
Retained Units shall be deemed upon and at any time after the
Recapitalization Effective Time to have only the right to receive
the appropriate aggregate number of Exchange Units without interest
as provided in this Article 2 . If any Exchange Units
are to be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name
the Retained Units are registered, it shall be a condition to such
payment that the Retained Units so surrendered shall be properly
endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and that the
Person requesting such payment shall pay to the Company, on behalf
of the Surviving Corporation, any transfer or other Taxes required
as a result of such payment to a Person other than the registered
holder of such Retained Units or establish to the satisfaction of
the Company that such Tax has been paid or is not
payable.
(c)
No Further Ownership Rights in the Company Common Units .
All Recapitalization Merger Consideration paid upon surrender of
Company Common Units in accordance with the terms hereof shall be
deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights
pertaining to such Company Common Units. As of the Recapitalization
Effective Time, the unit transfer books of the Company shall be
closed and there shall be no further registration
8

the Company’s unit transfer books of the Company Common Units
formerly owned by the Company Holders other than the Retained Units
converted pursuant to Section 2.04(c) .
(d)
Adjustments . If during the period between the date of this
Agreement and the Recapitalization Effective Time, any change in
the outstanding units or other equity interests of the Company
shall occur, including by reason of any reclassification,
recapitalization, unit split or combination, exchange or
readjustment of Company Common Units, or equity dividend thereon
with a record date during such period, the Recapitalization Merger
Consideration, and any other amounts payable pursuant to this
Agreement, shall be appropriately adjusted.
(e)
Withholding Rights . Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct
and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable to any Person
pursuant to this Article 2 such amounts as it is
required to deduct or withhold with respect to the making of such
payment under any provision of federal, state, local or foreign Tax
Law. If Purchaser so withholds amounts, such amounts shall be
treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to
the holder of the Company Common Units in respect of which
Purchaser made such deduction or withholding.
SECTION 2.06. Adjustment of the Per Team Option Merger
Consideration and the Per Unit Merger Consideration . At least
three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing, the Company
shall deliver to Purchaser an itemized statement, substantially in
the form of Schedule 3.18 , representing the
Company’s good faith estimate, as of the Recapitalization
Merger Effective Time, of all Transaction Expenses (the “
Expense Statement ”), together with invoices or other
reasonable supporting documentation for such expenses. In the event
that Purchaser objects that a material item has been omitted from
such statement, the Company and Purchaser hereby agree to
reasonably cooperate and to negotiate in good faith to resolve any
such objection prior to the Business Day before Closing, and the
Expense Statement shall be revised to the extent necessary to
reflect such resolution. If the amount of the Transaction Expenses
as set forth on the Expense Statement (as revised in accordance
with the preceding sentence) exceeds $12 million, then the Per
Team Option Merger Consideration and the Per Unit Merger
Consideration, and hence the amount of the Team Option Merger
Consideration and the Recapitalization Merger Consideration that
each holder of Team Options and/or Company Common Units shall be
entitled to receive under Sections 1.06 and 2.04
, shall each be reduced by an amount equal to (i) the amount
by which the Transaction Expenses exceeds $12 million divided
by (ii) 10,794,172.
