|

AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER, dated as of March 12, 2009 (this
“ Agreement ”), by
and between Polaris Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation
(“ Parent ”), and
Hughes Telematics, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “
Company
”).
This Agreement amends and restates
the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of
November 10, 2008 (the “ Existing Agreement ”),
by and between Parent and the Company.
WHEREAS, the Parent Board of
Directors and the Company Board of Directors have determined that
it is in the best interest of their respective companies and their
shareholders to consummate the business combination transaction
provided for in this Agreement and approved the transactions set
forth herein pursuant to which the Company will, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge with
and into Parent (the “ Merger ”), with Parent
continuing as the surviving corporation in the Merger (sometimes
referred to in this capacity as the “ Surviving
Corporation ”); and
WHEREAS, for federal income Tax
purposes, it is intended that the Merger shall qualify as a
“reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “
Code ”), and this Agreement is intended to be and is
adopted as a “plan of reorganization” for purposes of
Sections 354 and 361 of the Code; and
WHEREAS, concurrently with the
execution of this Agreement and as an inducement to Parent’s
willingness to enter into this Agreement, the Company, Parent and
certain of the holders of Company Common Stock and other equity
securities of the Company (the “ Company Equityholders
”) are entering
into a Second Amended and Restated Support and Reorganization
Agreement (the “ Second Amended and Restated
Company Support Agreement ”); and
WHEREAS, the Company intends to
issue and sell shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of
the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase
price of $50,000,000 (the “ Company Series B Preferred
Stock ”) to
institutional investors (the “ Series B Preferred
Holders ”); and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to
amend and restate the Existing Agreement in its entirety pursuant
to Section 9.3 of the Existing Agreement, to, among other things,
provide for the exchange rights of the Company Series B Preferred
Stock and certain other rights and obligations of the Series B
Preferred Holders; and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to
make certain representations, warranties and agreements in
connection with the Merger and also to prescribe certain conditions
to the Merger.

Section 2.6
Effect on Capital Stock and Additional Share Consideration .
At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any
action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder of any of
the following securities:
(a) Each share of common
stock, $0.0001 par value, of Parent (the “ Parent Common
Stock ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall remain issued and outstanding and shall not be
affected by the Merger.
(b) All shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “
Company Common
Stock ”) issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time that are owned directly by the Company shall
be cancelled and shall cease to exist and no stock of Parent or
other consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c) Other
than the shares cancelled pursuant to Section 2.6(b) and any shares
owned by Company Stockholders properly exercising appraisal rights
pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL (“ Section 262
”) (which shares shall have the rights as provided in Section
2.6(i)), subject to Section 2.6(f), (1) each share of Company
Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the
Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the right to
receive, subject to Section 2.6(d), a number of fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the Common
Exchange Ratio (the “Per Share Common Merger
Consideration”
3
and, the aggregate of such shares of
Parent Common Stock referred to as the “ Common
Transaction Shares ”) and (2) each share of Company
Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior
to the Effective Time shall be converted into and represent the
right to receive, subject to Section 2.6(d), a number of fully paid
and non-assessable shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the
Preferred Exchange Ratio plus Preferred Working Capital Shortfall
Shares, if any, (the “ Per Share Preferred Merger
Consideration ” and, the aggregate of all such shares of
Parent Common Stock referred to as the “ Preferred
Transaction Shares ” and, the Preferred Transaction
Shares together with the Common Transaction Shares referred to as
the “ Transaction Shares ”); provided that, a
portion of the Transaction Shares shall be designated as
“Escrowed Earnout Shares” in accordance with section
2.6(d) hereof. For the sake of clarity, the parties
acknowledge and agree that each share of Series A Preferred Stock
of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A
Preferred Stock”), issued and outstanding as of the date of
this Agreement will be directly or indirectly exchanged for shares
of Company Common Stock immediately prior to the Closing such that
there will be no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and
outstanding as of the Effective Time.
(d) Such number of the
Common Transaction Shares as shall equal 7.5% of the Transaction
Shares shall be deposited into escrow to satisfy the indemnity set
forth in Article VII hereof in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof.
In addition, Parent shall deposit the Escrowed Earnout Shares with
the Escrow Agent, which shares shall consist of three tranches, the
first of which shall consist of 40% of the Common Escrowed Earnout
Shares and 40% of the Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares (the
“ First Tranche ”), the second of which shall
consist of 30% of the Common Escrowed Earnout Shares and 30% of the
Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares (the “ Second
Tranche ”) and the third of which shall consist of 30% of
the Common Escrowed Earnout Shares and 30% of the Preferred
Escrowed Earnout Shares (the “ Third Tranche ” and
each of the First Tranche, Second Tranche and Third Tranche are
referred to as a “ Tranche ”), which
may be released to the Company Stockholders or cancelled in
accordance with Section 2.8. The Company’s Stockholders right
to receive the Escrowed Earnout Shares shall be contingent upon the
satisfaction of the Targets set forth in Section 2.8 hereof in
accordance with Section 2.8 hereof. Section 2.6(d) of the Company
Disclosure Statement sets forth, as of the date hereof, the
allocation of Transaction Shares (including the Escrowed Earnout
Shares) among all of the holders of Company Stock (the “
Company Stockholders ”) immediately prior to the
Effective Time, after giving effect to the Reorganization Actions
(and shall also set forth the allocation of Transaction Shares
assuming the shares of Company Series B Preferred Stock are not
converted prior to the Effective Time). Section 2.6(d) of the
Company Disclosure Statement may be revised, if necessary, at least
48 hours prior to the Effective Time pursuant to Section 6.17
hereof, provided , however , notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, Section 2.6(d) of the Company
Disclosure Statement shall, at all relevant times, reflect that (y)
the Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares shall be included in each of
the Tranches in the same relative proportion as Common Escrowed
Earnout Shares are so included (i.e., the First Tranche, Second
Tranche and Third Tranche shall consist of 40%, 30% and 30%,
respectively, of the Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares and the
Common Escrowed Earnout Shares), and (z) none of the Preferred
Transaction Shares shall constitute Escrowed Indemnity Shares. No
Transaction Shares shall be issued, released or delivered to any
Company Stockholder unless such Person shall have made to Parent in
writing reasonable and customary investor representations.
4
(e) Each share of Company
Common Stock and Company Series B Preferred Stock converted
pursuant to this Article II shall no longer be outstanding and
shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist as of the
Effective Time, and the certificates previously representing such
shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series B Preferred
Stock, respectively (the “ Company Certificates
”) shall thereafter represent solely the right to receive the
Per Share Common Merger Consideration and the Per Share Preferred
Merger Consideration, respectively, subject to the conditions set
forth in this Article II and the Escrow Agreement.
(f) No fraction of a share
of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, and
each holder of shares of Company Stock who would otherwise be
entitled to a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after
aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock which such
holder would otherwise receive) shall, upon compliance with Section
2.9 hereof, receive from Parent, in lieu of such fractional share,
an amount in cash without interest thereon equal to the product of
(i) such fraction multiplied by (ii) the volume-weighted average
price of one share of Parent Common Stock, as reported by
Bloomberg, L.P., on the last trading day prior to the Effective
Time.
(g) Upon and subject to
the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at the Effective Time,
each Company Option granted under the Company Stock Plan and
outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be
converted into an option (each, a “ Converted Option
”) to acquire a
number of shares of Parent Common Stock (“
Converted Option Shares ”) equal to the product of (x)
the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that would
have been issuable upon the exercise of such Company Option for
cash immediately prior to the Effective Time
multiplied by (y) the Common Exchange Ratio, rounded down to
the nearest whole share. Converted Options representing the Common
Applicable Percentage of Converted Option Shares (rounded down to
the nearest whole share) shall be designated as “ Earnout
Options ” and all remaining Converted Options shall be
designated as “ Transaction Options .” The
Earnout Options shall be further divided into three separate
sub-categories, the first of which shall consist of Earnout Options
in respect of 40% of the total number of Converted Option Shares
applicable to Earnout Options (the “ First Tranche Earnout
Options ”), the second of which shall consist of Earnout
Options in respect of 30% of the total number of Converted Option
Shares applicable to Earnout Options (the “ Second Tranche
Earnout Options ”) and the third of which shall consist
of Earnout Options in respect of 30% of the total number of
Converted Option Shares applicable to Earnout Options (the “
Third Tranche Earnout Options ”), as follows (it being
understood that each category of Earnout Options shall consist of
whole shares so that the three categories may not pertain exactly
to the percentages set forth above but shall be as close to such
percentages as possible; provided that the total
number of shares of First Tranche Earnout Options, Second Tranche
Earnout Options and Third Tranche Earnout Options shall equal 100%
of the Earnout Options as calculated in accordance with this
Section 2.6(g)): (A) the First Tranche Earnout Options shall be
exercisable only if (i) they are otherwise exercisable pursuant to
the vesting and other terms and conditions of the Company Option
(except as set forth in Section 2.6(g) of the Company Disclosure
Statement) and (ii) the First Target Shares are released to Company
Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.8, (B) the Second Tranche
Earnout Options shall be exercisable only if (i) they are otherwise
exercisable pursuant to the vesting and other terms and conditions
of the Company Option (except as set forth in Section 2.6(g) of the
Company Disclosure Statement) and (ii) the Second Target Shares are
released to Company Stockholders pursuant to Section 2.8 and (C)
the Third Tranche Earnout Options shall be
exercisable only if (i) they are
otherwise exercisable pursuant to the vesting and other terms and
conditions of the Company Option (except as set forth in Section
2.6(g) of the Company Disclosure Statement) and (ii) the Third
Target Shares are released to Company Stockholders pursuant to
Section 2.8. If any Tranche of Escrowed Earnout Shares is
cancelled, the category of Earnout Options that would otherwise
become exercisable upon the release of such Escrowed Earnout Shares
shall also be cancelled at such time. The per share exercise price
of each Converted Option rounded up to the nearest whole cent shall
be the same as the per share exercise price of the related Company
Option divided by the Common Exchange Ratio. Section 2.6(g) of the
Company Disclosure Statement sets forth the allocation of the
Converted Options, by category, among all holders of Company
Options as of the date of this Agreement. Section 2.6(g) of the
Company Disclosure Statement may be revised, if necessary, at least
48 hours prior to the Effective Time. Except as set forth above,
each Converted Option shall be on the same terms and conditions
(including vesting conditions) as the applicable Company Option it
replaces. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent, the Company, the
Company Board of Directors and the compensation committee of the
Company Board of Directors, as applicable, shall take all actions
necessary to effectuate the provisions of this Section 2.6(g) .
(h) As soon as practicable
following the Closing Date, Parent shall file a registration
statement on Form S-3 or Form S-8, as the case may be (or any
successor or other appropriate forms), with respect to all of the
Converted Option Shares and shall use its commercially reasonable
best efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration
statement or registration statements (and maintain the current
status of the prospectus or prospectuses contained therein) for so
long as any such Converted Options remain outstanding.
(i) Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the shares of Company
Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective
Time that are held by any Company Stockholder that is entitled to
demand and properly demands appraisal of shares of Company Stock
pursuant to, and complies in all respects with, the provisions of
Section 262 (the “ Appraisal Shares ”) shall not
be converted into the right to receive the Transaction Shares as
provided in (but subject to) this Article II, but, instead, such
Company Stockholder shall be entitled to such rights (but only such
rights) as are granted by Section 262. At the Effective Time, all
Appraisal Shares shall no longer be outstanding and automatically
shall be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and, except as
otherwise provided by Laws, each holder of Appraisal Shares shall
cease to have any rights with respect to the Appraisal Shares,
other than such rights as are granted by Section 262.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Company Stockholder
shall fail to validly perfect or shall otherwise waive, withdraw or
lose the right to appraisal under Section 262 or if a court of
competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Company
Stockholder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 262,
then the rights of such Company Stockholder under Section 262 shall
cease, and such Appraisal Shares shall be deemed to have been
converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the
right to receive the Transaction Shares as provided in (but subject
to) this Article II. The Company shall give prompt notice to Parent
of any demands for appraisal of any shares of Company Common Stock,
and Parent shall have the opportunity to reasonably participate in
all negotiations and proceedings with respect to such demands. The
Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent,
make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any
such demands, or agree to do any of the foregoing.
Section
2.7 Reorganization Actions .
(a) Prior to the Closing
(and no later than immediately prior to the Effective Time), the
Company shall cause (and the Company Equityholders who are party to
the Second Amended and Restated Company Support Agreement shall
cause, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Company Support
Agreement) the actions set forth on Exhibit G (the “
Reorganization Actions ”) to take effect.
Section 2.8
Earnout .
(a) On the Closing Date,
Parent shall deposit all of the Escrowed Earnout Shares with the
Escrow Agent, to be held in an escrow account for the purpose of
distributing such shares to the Company Stockholders upon the
achievement of certain targets, as described in this Section 2.8,
provided that such number of the Common Escrowed Earnout Shares as
shall equal 7.5% of the Escrowed Earnout Shares shall be part of
the Escrowed Indemnity Shares and placed in a separate escrow
account in satisfaction of the indemnity set forth in Article VII
hereof in accordance with Section 2.10 hereof. The Escrowed Earnout
Shares shall be allocated to the Company Stockholders in accordance
with Section 2.6(d) of the Company Disclosure Statement and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.8 and an
agreement to be entered into at the Closing between Parent, the
Escrow Representative, and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust
Company (the “ Escrow Agent ”) (or another
escrow agent mutually agreed to by Parent and the Company), in
customary form and substance as reasonably agreed to by Parent and
the Company (the “ Escrow Agreement ”).
(b) On the Closing Date,
the Sponsors shall deposit 1,250,000 shares of Parent Common Stock
(the “ Escrowed
Sponsor Earnout Shares ”) as set forth in Section
2.8(b) of the Parent Disclosure Statement with the Escrow Agent, to
be held in an escrow account for the purpose of distributing such
shares to the Sponsors upon the achievement of the First Target (as
defined in Section 2.8(c)) . The Escrowed Sponsor Earnout Shares
shall be allocated to the Sponsors in accordance with Section
2.8(b) of the Parent Disclosure Statement and in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Section 2.8.
(c) Subject to Section
2.8(f) hereof, if between the first and the fifth anniversaries of
the Closing Date, the Share Price of Parent Common Stock equals or
exceeds $20.00 per share (the “ First Target ”)
for 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, then within
ten Business Days after the achievement of such target, Parent and
the Escrow Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
release (i) the First Tranche of Common Escrowed Earnout Shares
(which amount may be reduced by up to such number of the Common
Escrowed Earnout Shares as shall equal 7.5% of the Escrowed Earnout
Shares (the “ First Target Indemnity Shares ”)
pursuant to Article VII hereof and the Escrow Agreement) and the
First Tranche of the Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares, which
shares shall be allocated to the Company Stockholders in accordance
with Section 2.6(d) hereof and Section 2.6(d) of the Company
Disclosure Statement (the “ First Target Shares
”) and (ii) the
Escrowed Sponsor Earnout Shares, which shares shall be allocated to
the Sponsors in accordance with Section 2.8(b) of the Parent
Disclosure Statement. If the First Target has not been achieved for
such 20 trading days during the four-year period referenced in this
Section 2.8(c), the First Target Shares and the Escrowed Sponsor

cancelled.

ten Business Days after the achievement of such target, Parent and
the Escrow Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
release the Second Tranche of Common Escrowed Earnout Shares (which
amount may be reduced by up to such number of Common Escrowed
Earnout shares as shall equal 7.5% of the Escrowed Earnout Shares
(the “Second Target Indemnity Shares”) pursuant to
Article VII hereof and the Escrow Agreement) and the Second Tranche
of the Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares, which shares shall be
allocated to the Company Stockholders in accordance with Section
2.6(d) hereof and Section 2.6(d) of the Company Disclosure
Statement (the “ Second Target Shares
”). If the Second Target has not been achieved for such 20
trading days during the three-year period referenced in this
Section 2.8(d), the Second Target Shares shall no longer be
outstanding and shall be cancelled.
(e) Subject to Section
2.8(f) hereof, if between the third and the fifth anniversaries of
the Closing Date, the Share Price of Parent Common Stock equals or
exceeds $30.50 per share (the “ Third Target ”)
for 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period, then within
ten Business Days after the achievement of such target, Parent and
the Escrow Representative shall instruct the Escrow Agent to
release the Third Tranche of Common Escrowed Earnout Shares (which
amount may be reduced by up to such number of the Common Escrowed
Earnout Shares a shall equal 7.5% of the Escrowed Earnout Shares
(the “ Third Target Indemnity Shares ”) pursuant
to Article VII hereof and the Escrow Agreement) and the Third
Tranche of the Preferred Escrowed Earnout Shares, which shares
shall be allocated to the Company Stockholders in accordance with
Section 2.6(d) hereof and Section 2.6(d) of the Company Disclosure
Statement (the “ Third Target Shares ”). If the Third Target has not
been achieved for such 20 trading days during the two-year period
referenced in this Section 2.8(e), the Third Target Shares shall no
longer be outstanding and shall be cancelled.
(f) In the event of a
Change of Control or Reorganization Event, any Escrowed Earnout
Shares and Escrowed Sponsor Earnout Shares remaining in the escrow
account and not theretofore cancelled shall be released or
cancelled as follows: (i) to the extent that the Change of Control
or Reorganization Event Consideration exceeds the First Target, any
First Target Shares and Escrowed Sponsor Earnout Shares shall be
released, (ii) to the extent that the Change of Control or
Reorganization Event Consideration exceeds the Second Target, any
Second Target Shares shall be released, and (iii) to the extent
that the Change of Control or Reorganization Event Consideration
exceeds the Third Target, any Third Target Shares shall be
released. To the extent that the Change of Control or
Reorganization Event Consideration does not exceed any given
Target, the Target Shares with respect to such Tranche and the
Escrowed Sponsor Earnout Shares, if applicable, shall no longer be
outstanding and shall be cancelled, effective upon completion of
such Change of Control or Reorganization Event.
(g) The target share price
triggers listed in Sections 2.8(c), (d) and (e) hereof (such dollar
amounts, the “ Share Price Triggers
”) and the Escrowed Earnout Shares and Escrowed Sponsor
Earnout Shares to be distributed upon achievement of said targets
shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:
8
(i) In the event the
outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall be subdivided or
reclassified into a greater number of shares of Parent Common
Stock, the Share Price Triggers in effect at the close of business
on the day upon which such subdivision or reclassification becomes
effective shall be equitably and proportionately reduced, and
conversely, in case outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock shall
each be combined or reclassified into a smaller number of shares of
Parent Common Stock, the Share Price Triggers in effect at the
close of business on the day upon which such combination or
reclassification becomes effective shall be equitably and
proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case
may be, to become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following the day upon which such subdivision
or combination becomes effective.
(ii) Pursuant to the
Escrow Agreement, in connection with any such subdivision or
reclassification into a greater number of shares of Parent Common
Stock, the Escrowed Earnout Shares and Escrowed Sponsor Earnout
Shares distributable upon the achievement of the applicable
milestones shall be equitably and proportionately increased and,
conversely, in connection with any such combination or
reclassification into a smaller number of shares of Parent Common
Stock, the Escrowed Earnout Shares and Escrowed Sponsor Earnout
Shares distributable upon the achievement of the applicable
milestones shall be equitably and proportionately reduced. For
example, for purposes of clarity, (x) in the case of a 2-for-1
stock split of Parent Common Stock, the Escrowed Earnout Shares
distributable upon the achievement of the first milestone shall be
increased from 23,600,000 to 47,200,000 and (y) in the case of a
1-for-2 reverse stock split of Parent Common Stock, the Escrowed
Earnout Shares distributable upon the achievement of the first
milestone shall be reduced from 23,600,000 to 11,800,000 (assuming
for the purposes of this example that there are no adjustments to
the number of shares of Parent Common Stock in the First
Tranche).
(h) Without limiting the
specificity of any of the foregoing, it is the intent of the
parties to provide for fair and equitable adjustments to the Share
Price Triggers, the Escrowed Earnout Shares and the Escrowed
Sponsor Earnout Shares to preserve the economic benefits intended
to be provided to the Company Stockholders and the Sponsors,
respectively, under the terms of this Agreement in the event there
is any change in or conversion of the Parent Common Stock and,
accordingly, the Parent Board of Directors shall make appropriate
equitable adjustments in connection therewith, as determined in the
good faith judgment of the Parent Board of Directors.
(i) Neither Parent, the
Sponsors, the Company Stockholders nor any Affiliate thereof shall
take any action, directly or indirectly, with the intent or effect
of influencing or manipulating the market prices of Parent Common
Stock during any measurement period described in Sections 2.8(c),
(d) and (e) hereof. Furthermore, for the purposes of determining
whether a Share Price Trigger has been achieved for 20 trading days
within any 30-trading-day period pursuant to Sections 2.8(c), (d)
and (e) hereof, any days during which any such persons (A) have
outstanding a public announcement or statement relating to the
purchase or sale of equity securities of Parent (other than
ordinary-course, generic statements as to the possibility of such
purchases from time to time and which do not specify either the
amount of any such potential purchases nor the price or prices at
which such purchases may be made), whether in the
9
public market or otherwise, or (B) have
made, in the aggregate, to the best knowledge of Parent, purchases
of Parent Common Stock exceeding 1% of the average daily trading
volume reported for the security during the four calendar weeks
preceding the week in which such purchases were made, shall not be
counted as days on which such Share Price Trigger has been
achieved. Such excluded days shall extend the 30-trading-day
measurement period by an equal number of days.
Section
2.9 Surrender of Certificates .
(a) Upon surrender of
their Company Certificates at the Closing with a properly completed
letter of transmittal (the form of such letter of transmittal to be
provided by Parent to the Company for delivery to the Company
Stockholders no later than five Business Days prior to Closing (it
being understood that such letter of transmittal shall provide that
such holders shall acknowledge that they are receiving restricted
securities under the federal securities laws and will contain other
customary investment representations)), the holders of the Company
Common Stock and Company Series B Preferred Stock shall receive in
exchange therefor certificates representing the Transaction Shares
into which their shares of Company Common Stock and Company Series
B Preferred Stocks, as applicable, shall be converted or exchanged
at the Effective Time, less the Escrowed Indemnity Shares and
Escrowed Earnout Shares, and the Company Certificates so
surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered,
outstanding Company Certificates will be deemed, from and after the
Effective Time, to evidence only the right to receive the
applicable number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable
pursuant to Sections 2.6(c) and 2.6(d) or, in the case of holders
of Appraisal Shares, the right to receive the applicable payments
set forth in Section 2.6(i) .
(b) No dividends or other
distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement
with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the
Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered
Company Certificates with respect to the shares of Parent Common
Stock to be issued upon surrender thereof until the holders of
record of such Company Certificates shall surrender such Company
Certificates. Subject to applicable law, following surrender of any
such Company Certificates with a properly completed letter of
transmittal, Parent shall promptly deliver to the record holders
thereof, without interest, the certificates representing shares of
Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor (not including the
Escrowed Indemnity Shares or the shares issuable pursuant to
Section 2.8) and the amount of any such dividends or other
distributions with a record date after the Effective Time
theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Parent Common
Stock.
Section 2.10
Indemnity Escrow . As a remedy for the indemnity
set forth in Article VII, at the Closing, Parent shall deposit with
the Escrow Agent such number of the Common Transaction Shares as
shall equal 7.5% of the Transaction Shares (the “Escrowed
Indemnity Shares”), comprised of Common Escrowed Earnout
Shares (including that portion of the First Target Shares, Second
Target Shares and Third Target Shares consisting of Common Escrowed
Earnout Shares) and Common Transaction Shares that are not Escrowed
Earnout Shares to be held in a separate escrow account and released
therefrom (if applicable) from time to time to Parent in
satisfaction of such indemnity, all in accordance with Article VII
hereof and the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement. On the
fifth Business Day following the date (the “
Indemnity Escrow Termination Date ”) that is fifteen (15) months
from the Closing Date, the Escrow Agent shall release the Escrowed
Indemnity Shares, less any of such shares applied in
10
satisfaction of a claim for
indemnification and any of such shares related to a claim for
indemnification that is then unresolved. Upon such release,
Escrowed Indemnity Shares that constitute Common Transaction Shares
shall be delivered to the Company Stockholders in accordance with
Section 2.6(d) of the Company Disclosure Statement and the Escrow
Agreement; and the Escrowed Indemnity Shares that constitute
Escrowed Earnout Shares shall be retained in escrow in accordance
with Section 2.8 hereof and the Escrow Agreement. Any Escrowed
Indemnity Shares held with respect to any unresolved claim for
indemnification and not applied as indemnification with respect to
such claim upon its resolution shall be delivered in accordance
with the preceding sentence.
