Attachment D
Order Flexibility Terms
(i)For any accepted Order or Forecast, Customer may request an increase in the quantity of Products ordered or forecast.  Manufacturer shall use reasonable commercial efforts to meet any allowed Product quantity increases, which are subject to Materials and capacity availability.  If Manufacturer agrees to such increase in the quantity, and if there are extra costs to meet such increase, Manufacturer will get approval from Customer for the extra cost and Customer shall be liable for such extra costs.
(ii)    For any accepted Order, Customer may request a push-out (“Reschedule”) of the expected delivery date.  Customer may Reschedule all or part of a scheduled delivery (per Order or Forecast) [*****] in accordance with the table below.  No reschedules will be allowed after Manufacturer has begun manufacturing (WIP).  Additional requests for Reschedules, require Manufacturer’s approval, which, in its sole discretion, may or may not be granted.  If Manufacturer agrees to accept a Reschedule of any length of time, and if there are extra costs to meet such Reschedule, then Customer shall be liable for such extra costs.  Any part of an Order quantity that is Rescheduled may not be subsequently rescheduled.  Any Reschedule not consented to by Manufacturer or that otherwise does not satisfy the requirements of this subsection (ii) shall be treated as a cancellation, for which Customer shall be liable for the full Order value of the Products stated therein.
(iii)    Customer should have a right to change the Product mix of the build as long as the build has not started (Work order or kit has not scheduled to pull).  Any excess or obsolete Material that impacted due to this change will be handled via the Excess&Obsolete process according to Attachment C.  [*****].
(iv)    Any delays in the normal production or interruption in the workflow process caused by Customer’s changes to the Specifications or failure to provide sufficient quantities or a reasonable quality level of Customer Controlled Materials where applicable to sustain the production schedule, shall be considered a Reschedule of any affected Orders for purposes of this Section for the period of such delay.

(g)                                  any other Liability that is not expressly included among the Assumed Liabilities.

 

Section 2.5                                    Assignment of Certain Contracts.

 

(a)                                 The Sellers shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in order to identify, as promptly as practicable following the date hereof, additional Assumed Agreements, if any, for which the Sellers recommend that the Buyer obtain consent of, or provide notice to, the applicable Third Party in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 2.5 shall obligate the Buyer to take any action with respect to such additional Assumed Agreements.

 

(b)                                 The Buyer and the Sellers shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts prior to the Closing to obtain, and to cooperate in obtaining, all consents and Governmental Authorizations from Governmental Authorities and third parties necessary to assume and assign each Assumed Agreement and the other Purchased Assets to the Buyer or related to any material Contract to which any Acquired Entity is a party; provided, however, that neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall be required to pay or commit to pay any amount to (or incur any material obligation in favor of) any Person from whom any such consent or Governmental Authorization may be required other than de minimis and ordinary course filing and administrative fees.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery or attempted sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery to Buyer of any asset that would be a Purchased Asset or an Assumed Liability, or any material Contract to which any Acquired Entity is a party, or any claim or right or any benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom is prohibited by any applicable Legal Requirement or would require any consent from any Governmental Authority or any other Third Party and such consents shall not have been obtained prior to the Closing (or is not in full force and effect), the Closing shall proceed without the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of such asset (and without reduction in the Purchase Price) unless there is a failure of one or more of the conditions set forth in Article VIII, in which event the Closing shall proceed only if each failed condition is waived by the Party entitled to the benefit thereof.  In the event that any failed condition is waived and the Closing proceeds without the transfer or assignment of any such asset, then following the Closing, the Buyer and the Sellers shall use their respective commercially

 

14

 

reasonable efforts, and reasonably cooperate with each other, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirement and the applicable Purchased Asset, Assumed Liability or Contract, to obtain promptly such consent as quickly as practicable.  Pending such consent, the parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other to provide Buyer with all of the benefits of use of such asset (or any right or benefit arising thereunder, including the enforcement for the benefit of Buyer of any and all rights of Sellers against a Third Party thereunder) free of any cost or expense.  Once consent for the sale, transfer, assignment, conveyance or delivery of any such asset not sold, transferred, assigned, conveyed or delivered at the Closing is obtained, the Sellers shall promptly transfer, assign, convey and deliver such asset to Buyer at no additional cost or expense pursuant to a special-purpose assignment and assumption agreement substantially similar in terms to those of the Assumption Agreement (which special-purpose agreement the parties shall prepare, execute and deliver in good faith at the time of such transfer).  To the extent that any such asset cannot be transferred or the full benefits or use of any such asset cannot be provided to Buyer the Closing but in any event no later than the date that is 180 days after the Closing pursuant to this Section 2.5, then the Buyer and the Sellers shall enter into such arrangements (including subleasing, sublicensing or subcontracting) to provide to the parties hereto the economic (taking into account Tax costs and benefits) and operational equivalent of obtaining such consent.

 

(d)                                 If, following the Closing, any Seller receives or becomes aware that it holds any asset, property or right which constitutes a Purchased Asset (including any of the assets described in Section 2.2(e) to the transfer of which the applicable Employee has consented in writing), then such Seller shall transfer such asset, property or right to Buyer as promptly as practicable for no additional consideration.  If, following the Closing, Buyer receives or becomes aware that it holds any asset, property or right which constitutes an Excluded Asset, then Buyer shall transfer such asset, property or right to the Sellers as promptly as practicable for no additional consideration.

The Buyer shall notify the Sellers of the achievement of each milestone promptly following its determination that a payment in respect of such milestone is payable, setting forth the clause in Section 3.2(a) giving rise to such payment obligation and the amount thereof. The Buyer shall make payment of such amount within thirty (30) days of delivering the foregoing notice.

For clarification, if multiple milestones are attained simultaneously or in the same calendar year, each milestone shall be due and payable at the time of its attainment.

 

Section 3.3                                    Earn-Out Payments.

 

(a)                                 Term.  Earn-Out Payments (as defined below) shall be payable on Net Sales of birinapant from the Closing Date until, with respect to each country, the later of (1) the expiration of all marketing exclusivity periods (including data exclusivity) covering birinapant, or (2) the last to expire Patent (including extensions thereof) in such country with a Valid Claim with claims covering birinapant, formulations of birinapant,  or one of its approved indications or methods of administration (as a method of use). If a Generic Version (as defined below) of birinapant is sold by a Third Party in a country after which sales of birinapant by the Buyer, its Affiliates, sublicensees or other transferees in any calendar year constitute less than eighty percent (80%) of the combined sales (on a unit volume basis) of birinapant and Generic Versions of birinapant in such calendar year according to IMS market share data in such country for such calendar year, then Buyer shall not be required to make any Earn-Out Payments for that portion of the calendar year in such country. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at any time during the twenty-four (24) months after a termination of such Earn-Out Payment obligation, there is no

 

16

 

Generic Version of birinapant on the market in such country, then Earn-Out Payments shall resume with respect to Net Sales of birinapant in such country.  For the purposes of this Section 3.3(a), a “Generic Version” of birinapant shall mean any pharmaceutical product (other than a product which was initially sold as a Product hereunder) that includes birinapant as an active ingredient and is sold by a Third Party. In the event of the introduction of a Generic Version of birinapant in any country, the parties will reasonably cooperate to challenge such introduction in a legal and commercially appropriate manner.

 

(b)                                 Net Sales.

 

(i)                                     Buyer is obligated to pay Earn-Out Payments to the Sellers at the following annual, calendar basis rate, on worldwide Net Sales of any Product containing birinapant (“Annual Net Sales”):

The Buyer shall make payment of such amount within the earlier of (x) thirty (30) days after delivering the foregoing notice, and (y) sixty (60) days after the end of the applicable calendar year.

their sales of Products in sufficient detail to allow the accruing milestone and Earn-Out Payments to be determined accurately.  Sellers shall have the right for a period of one (1) year after receiving any report or statement with respect to milestone and Earn-Out Payments due and payable to appoint an independent certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Buyer to inspect the relevant records to verify such report or statement.  Buyer and its Affiliates, sublicensees and transferees or assignees shall each make its records available for inspection by such independent certified public accountant during regular business hours at such place or places where such records are customarily kept, upon reasonable notice from Sellers, solely to verify the accuracy of the reports and payments.  Such inspection right shall not be exercised more than once in any calendar year.  Sellers agree to hold in strict confidence all information concerning milestone and Earn-Out Payments and reports, and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection (and not to make copies of such reports and information), except to the extent necessary for Sellers to reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by applicable Legal Requirement.  The results of each inspection, if any, shall be binding on both parties.  Sellers shall pay for such inspections, except that in the event there is any upward adjustment in aggregate Earn-Out Payments payable for any year shown by such inspection of more than ten percent (10%) of the amount paid, Buyer shall pay for such inspection. Buyer shall include in each sublicense or marketing agreement entered into by it pursuant to this Agreement a provision requiring the sublicensee or marketing partner to keep and maintain adequate records of sales made pursuant to such sublicense or marketing agreement and to grant access to such records by the aforementioned independent public accountant for the reasons specified in this Section.  Any overpayments shall be fully creditable against amounts payable in subsequent payment periods.  Sellers agree that all information subject to review under this Section or under any sublicense or marketing agreement is confidential and that Sellers shall retain and cause their representative to retain all such information in confidence.

 

Section 3.4                                    Post-Closing Efforts.  Buyer agrees to use Reasonable Commercial Efforts to (i) initiate a Phase III Clinical Trial for SHP-141 in accordance with the timeline specified in the Merger Agreement; (ii) solely to the extent the condition to Closing set forth in Section 8.2(e) is satisfied (and not waived by the Buyer) and the applicable affiliate of Merck actually supplies KEYTRUDA in the manner contemplated by such confirmation, commence a proof of concept clinical trial of birinapant in combination with KEYTRUDA in solid tumors (NCT02587962); and (iii) support with reasonable supplies of birinapant the Jonnson Comprehensive Cancer Center sponsored clinical trial of birinapant in combination with paclitaxel and carboplatin in ovarian cancer (NCT02756130).  The parties acknowledge and agree that the remedy for breach by Buyer of its obligations under this Section 3.4 shall be only as follows, notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, including Section 7.8: (x) in the case of a breach by the Buyer of Section 3.4(i), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers the amount specified in Milestone 1 under Section 3.2(a); (y) in the case of a breach by the Buyer of Section 3.4(ii), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers 50% of the amount specified in Milestone 4 under Section 3.2(a); and (z) in the case of a breach by the Buyer of Section 3.4(iii), the Buyer shall pay to the Sellers 50% of the amount specified in Milestone 4 under Section 3.2(a) (such amounts, collectively, the “Liquidated Damages”).  The parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty. The parties acknowledge and agree that the Sellers’ harm caused by the Buyer’s breach of this Section 3.4 would be impossible or very difficult to accurately estimate as of the date hereof, and that the Liquidated Damages are a reasonable estimate of the anticipated or actual harm that might arise from the Buyer’s breach. The Buyer’s payment of the applicable portion of the Liquidated Damages is the Sellers’ sole liability and entire obligation and the Sellers’ exclusive remedy for any breach by the Buyer of this Section 3.4.  To the extent all or any portion of the Liquidated Damages becomes payable hereunder, the breach by the Buyer giving rise to such payment obligation shall be considered an achievement of such milestone (or the applicable portion of such milestone) for all purposes hereunder (including Section 3.2(c)).  Amounts payable under this Section 3.4 shall be payable in the manner specified in Section 3.2(b).

(b)                                 Purchase Price Allocation.  Promptly following the date of this Agreement, and in any event prior to the Closing, the parties shall mutually agree upon an allocation of the sum of the Purchase Price and the Assumed Liabilities (and any adjustments thereof) among the Purchased Assets as of the Closing Date (the “Allocation”) in accordance with Section 1060 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, and such allocation shall be binding on all parties hereto.  In the event the parties cannot agree on an Allocation on or prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall appoint by mutual agreement the office of an impartial nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants that has not been retained by any Seller or the Buyer in the past three (3) years who, acting as experts and not arbitrators, shall resolve any disputes with respect to the Allocation.  Except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirements, the Buyer and the Sellers shall report for all Tax purposes all transactions contemplated by this Agreement in a manner consistent with the Allocation, if any, and shall not take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, in any refund claim, in any litigation or otherwise.

(c)                                  Adjustments to Purchase Price.  Any payments made in accordance with this Agreement (including payments made pursuant to Section 3.2, 3.3 and indemnification payments) shall be treated as Purchase Price adjustments for Tax purposes.

 

(d)                                 Proration of Taxes.  For a Straddle Period, the portion of any personal property Taxes and real property Taxes that shall be deemed to be payable for the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be the amount of such Taxes for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period ending on (and including) the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.  The portion of any other Taxes for a Straddle Period (including income Taxes, sales and use Taxes and Taxes based on gross or net receipts or payments) that shall be deemed to be payable for the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be determined based on a closing of the books as of the Closing Date, provided that all permitted allowances, exemptions and deductions that are normally computed on the basis of an entire year or period (such as depreciation and amortization deductions) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be allocated in proportion to the number of days in each such period.

 

(e)                                  Amended Returns and Retroactive Elections.  Except as required by applicable Legal Requirement, the Sellers shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Acquired Entities to, (i) amend any Tax Returns (other than related to Income Taxes) with respect to the Business or the Purchased Assets filed with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period that has prospective effect to the period after the Closing, or (ii) make any Tax election for the Acquired Entities that has prospective effect to the period after the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.  Except as required by applicable Legal Requirement, the Buyer shall not, and shall not cause or permit the Acquired Entities to, (i) amend any Tax Returns filed with respect to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or (ii) make any Tax election that has retroactive effect to the Pre-Closing Tax Period, in each such case without the prior written consent of the Sellers, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed.

 

(f)                                   Acquired Entity Tax Returns.

 

(i)                                     Prior to the Closing Date, the Sellers shall, or shall cause the Acquired Entities to, prepare and file, on a timely basis and on a basis consistent with past practice, all Tax Returns that are required to be filed by any of the Acquired Entities (taking account of extensions) prior to the Closing Date and shall cause the Acquired Entities to pay all Taxes with respect thereto.

 

(ii)                                  The Buyer shall timely prepare or cause to be prepared and will file or cause to be filed any Tax Returns for the Acquired Entities that are due after the Closing Date. The Sellers and the Buyer will, if permitted by applicable Legal Requirement, close the taxable period of each Acquired Entity as of the close of business on the Closing Date. Except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement, neither the Sellers nor the Buyer shall take any position inconsistent with the preceding sentence on any Tax Return. Any such Tax Returns that relates to a Straddle Period shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the respective Acquired Entity’s past practice, except as otherwise required by applicable Legal Requirement.  The Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers for their review a draft of each Tax Return of each Acquired Entity to be filed after the Closing Date which may give rise to any Tax liability of any Seller or any Tax liability of each Acquired Entity for which any Seller is liable under to this Agreement not fewer than thirty (30) days prior to the deadline for filing such Tax Return (including extensions). The Sellers shall notify the Buyer in writing if they reasonably object to any portion of the draft Tax Return within fifteen (15) days after the draft Tax Return is delivered to the Sellers, and such notice of objection shall specify with particularity any such items and state the specific factual or legal basis for any such objection. If the Buyer does not receive a written objection by the end of

 

32

 

the fifteen (15)-day period, the Buyer may file the applicable Tax Return.  If the Sellers notify the Buyer that they reasonably object to any portion of the draft Tax Return on or before the end of such review period, the Buyer and the Sellers shall negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute.  Any disagreements regarding the draft Tax Returns that are not resolved within another fifteen (15) days by the parties shall be resolved by an independent third party nationally recognized certified public accounting firm that is acceptable to both parties, and any determination by such independent certified public accountant shall be final.  The costs, fees and expenses of the independent certified public accountant shall be borne equally by the Buyer, on the one hand, and the Sellers, on the other hand. The Sellers shall pay the Buyer for any Taxes that are the responsibility of the Sellers pursuant to this Agreement (and payable by the Buyer or the Acquired Entities to the applicable Governmental Authority) within five (5) days after such amount is agreed upon by the applicable parties (or finally determined) as contemplated by Section 7.6.

 

(g)                                  Cooperation on Tax Matters.  Buyer and the Sellers shall fully cooperate, to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, with respect to the filing of Tax Returns, filing of Tax elections, and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and provision of records and information relevant to such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information.  Buyer and the Sellers agree to retain records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Acquired Entities until the expiration of the relevant statute of limitations.  Buyer and the Sellers further agree to use their reasonable best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that may be imposed.

 

Section 7.7                                    Transfer of Purchased Assets.

 

(a)                                 The Sellers and the Buyer agree that unless otherwise requested by the Buyer in writing, any of the Purchased Assets (including software) that can be transmitted to the Buyer electronically will be so delivered to the Buyer promptly following the Closing and will not be delivered to the Buyer on any tangible medium.  Promptly following any electronic transmission, the Sellers shall execute and deliver to the Buyer a certificate in a form reasonably acceptable to the Buyer and containing, at a minimum, the following information: (i) the date of transmission; (ii) the time the transmission was commenced and concluded; (iii) the name of the individual who made the transmission; (iv) the signature of such individual; and (v) a description of the nature of the items transmitted in sufficient detail to distinguish the transmission from other transmissions.

 

(b)                                 The Buyer will make all necessary arrangements for the Buyer to take possession of the Purchased Assets, and, at the Buyer’s expense, to transfer the same to a location specified by the Buyer as promptly as practicable following the Closing.  Each Seller shall, and shall cause its Affiliates and Representatives to, reasonably cooperate with the Buyer in connection with the foregoing.

 

(c)                                  After the Closing, if the Sellers or any of their Affiliates receives any payment, refund or other amount which is or relates to a Purchased Asset or which is otherwise properly due and owing to the Buyer, the Sellers shall promptly remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to the Buyer. The Sellers shall promptly endorse and deliver to the Buyer any notes, checks, negotiable instruments or other documents which are or relate to Purchased Assets or are otherwise properly due and owing to the Buyer, and the Buyer shall have the right and authority to endorse, without recourse, the names of the Sellers on any such instrument or document.  After the Closing, if the Buyer or any of its Affiliates receives any payment, refund or other amount which is properly due and owing to the Sellers, the Buyer shall promptly remit, or shall cause to be remitted, such amount to the Sellers. The Buyer shall promptly endorse and deliver to the Sellers any notes, checks, negotiable instruments or other documents

 

33

 

which are properly due and owing to the Sellers, and the Sellers shall have the right and authority to endorse, without recourse, the names of the Buyer on any such instrument or document.

 

(d)                                 Promptly following the Closing, the Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Buyer two (2) writable media copies of the Project Tulip virtual data room maintained at datasite.merrillcorp.com (the “Project Tulip VDR”).

 

Section 7.8                                    Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 Each Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer and its Affiliates, and their employees, officers and directors harmless against any loss, damages, action, suit, claim, demand, liability, expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), bodily injury, death or property damage (a “Loss”), that may be brought, instituted or arise against or be incurred by such persons to the extent such Loss is based on or arises out of (i) any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability or the conduct of the Business prior to the Closing, (ii) the breach by either Seller of any of its covenants set forth in this Agreement, (iii) the breach by either Seller of any of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, or (iv) the development, manufacture, use, sale, storage or handling of a drug substance or a drug product prior to the Closing by the Sellers or their Affiliates or their representatives, agents or subcontractors, or any actual or alleged violation of Legal Requirement resulting therefrom; provided however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any Loss to the extent such Loss is caused by the willful misconduct of the Buyer or its Affiliates.

 

(b)                                 Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Sellers, and their Affiliates, and their employees, officers and directors harmless against any Loss that may be brought, instituted or arise against or be incurred by such persons to the extent such Loss is based on or arises out of:

 

(i)             the development, manufacture, use, sale, storage or handling of a drug substance or a drug product after the Closing by the Buyer or its Affiliates or their representatives, agents or subcontractors, or any actual or alleged violation of Legal Requirement resulting therefrom; or

 

(ii)          the breach by the Buyer of any of its covenants set forth in this Agreement;

 

(iii)       the breach by the Buyer of any of its representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement;

 

provided however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply to any Loss to the extent such Loss is caused by the willful misconduct of Seller or its Affiliates.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary: (i) (A) the Sellers shall not have liability under Section 7.8(a) until the aggregate amount of the Loss to be indemnified to the Buyer exceeds an amount equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Threshold Amount”) in which event the Sellers shall be responsible for the aggregate amount of Loss in excess of the Threshold Amount up to the Indemnification Cap (as defined below) and (B) the maximum aggregate liability of the Sellers under Section 7.8(a) shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of One Million, Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) (the “Indemnification Cap”); and (ii) (A) the Buyer shall not have liability under Section 7.8(b) until the aggregate amount of the Loss to be indemnified to the Sellers exceed and amount equal to the Threshold Amount in which event the Buyer shall be responsible for the aggregate amount of Loss in excess of the Threshold Amount up to the Indemnification Cap and (B) the maximum aggregate liability of the Buyer under Section 7.8(b) shall be an amount equal to the Indemnification Cap; provided, however, that the foregoing limitations in this clause (c) shall not apply to any Loss based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of (w) any claim for indemnity under Section 7.8(a)(iii) in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation, (x) fraud, (y) a claim for indemnity under Section 7.8(a)(i) with respect to the Excluded Liabilities described in

 

34

 

Section 2.4(a) or under Section 7.8(a)(iii) in respect of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation and warranty in Section 5.11, or (z) a claim for indemnity under Section 7.8(a)(ii) or Section 7.8(b)(ii) in respect of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 7.7(c) or Section 7.11.

 

(d)                                 Each party entitled to be indemnified by the other party (an “Indemnified Party”) pursuant to Section 7.8(a) or 7.8(b) shall give notice to the other party (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any threatened or asserted claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom; provided that:

 

(i)                                     counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld) and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such party’s expense (unless (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Party has been authorized by the Indemnifying Party; or (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in the defense of such action, in each of which cases the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of one law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnified Party, which law firm shall be subject to approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, by the Indemnifying Party); and

 

(ii)                                  The failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that the failure to give notice did not materially prejudice the Indemnifying Party.

 

(iii)                               No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the approval of each Indemnified Party, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which (1) would result in injunctive or other relief being imposed against the Indemnified Party; or (2) does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

 

(iv)                              Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 7.8(d), following the winding up or dissolution of any Seller, such Seller shall not have the right to assume the defense of any threatened or asserted claim for which indemnification is sought, except that a successor which was created primarily for tax planning purposes or to change a Seller’s business form or jurisdiction may assume the defense of any such claim or litigation resulting therefrom.

 

(e)                                  Buyer may, at its sole discretion, claim any payment (or any portion thereof) to which it is finally determined to be entitled pursuant to Section 7.8(g) directly from either Seller or any amounts due to the Sellers under Section 3.2 or Section 3.3, and in the latter case may set-off such payment against such amounts.  This right of set-off shall not be Buyer’s sole remedy for amounts owed pursuant to this Section 7.8, and nothing contained herein shall limit Buyer’s right to insist on payment directly from a Seller as set forth in this Section 7.8.

 

(f)                                   The representations, warranties and covenants of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto, shall not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its

 

35

 

Representatives) or by reason of the fact that the Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives should have known that any such representation or warranty is, was or might be inaccurate or by reason of the Indemnified Party’s waiver of any condition set forth in Article VIII, except to the extent the Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such representation or warranty.  For purposes of this Section 7.8, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty or the amount of indemnifiable Loss with respect thereto shall be determined without regard to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

 

(g)                                  Once a Loss is agreed to by the Indemnifying Party or finally adjudicated to be payable pursuant to this Section 7.8, the Indemnifying Party shall satisfy its obligations within ten (10) Business Days of such agreement or final, non-appealable adjudication by wire transfer of immediately available funds. The parties hereto agree that should an Indemnifying Party not make full payment of any such obligations within such ten (10) Business Day period, any amount payable shall accrue interest from and including the date of agreement of the Indemnifying Party or final, non-appealable adjudication to but excluding the date such payment has been made at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published in The Wall Street Journal, Eastern Edition. Any interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts were required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of actual payment, and on the basis of a 360-day year.

 

Section 7.9                                    No Solicitation.

 

(a)                                 TLOG shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and shall not authorize or permit its Representatives and its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to, directly or indirectly, solicit an Alternative Transaction Proposal or the making of any proposal that could reasonably be expected to lead to any Alternative Transaction Proposal, or, subject to Section 7.9(b), (i) conduct or engage in any discussions or negotiations with, disclose any non-public information relating to TLOG or any of its Subsidiaries to, afford access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of TLOG or any of its Subsidiaries to, or knowingly assist, participate in, facilitate or encourage any effort by, any Third Party that is seeking to make, or has made, any Alternative Transaction Proposal, (ii) (A) amend or grant any waiver or release under any standstill or similar agreement with respect to any class of equity securities of TLOG or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) approve any transaction under, or any Third Party becoming an “interested shareholder” under, Section 203 of the DGCL, other than the Senior Note Conversion, or (iii) enter into any agreement in principle, letter of intent, term sheet, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other Contract relating to any Alternative Transaction Proposal (each, a “TLOG Acquisition Agreement”). Subject to Section 7.9(b), neither the TLOG Board nor any committee thereof shall fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or materially qualify, in a manner adverse to the Buyer, the TLOG Board Recommendation, or recommend an Alternative Transaction Proposal, fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for the shares of TLOG Common Stock within ten (10) Business Days after the commencement of such offer, or make any public statement inconsistent with the TLOG Board Recommendation, or resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (any of the foregoing, a “TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change”). TLOG shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries, to cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its Representatives or its Subsidiaries’ Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any Third Party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Alternative Transaction Proposal and shall terminate any such Third Party’s and its Representatives’ access to any virtual data room maintained by the Sellers, including the Project Tulip VDR.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding Section 7.9(a), prior to the receipt of the approval of the TLOG Shareholders and the TLOG Noteholders Consent (collectively, the “Requisite Approvals”), the TLOG Board, directly or indirectly through any Representative, may, subject to Section 7.9(c), (i)

 

36

 

participate in negotiations or discussions with any Third Party that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited Alternative Transaction Proposal in writing that the TLOG Board believes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal, (ii) thereafter furnish to such Third Party non-public information relating to TLOG or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement that constitutes an Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, (iii) following receipt of and on account of a Superior Proposal, make a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change, and/or (iv) take any action that any court of competent jurisdiction orders TLOG to take (which order remains unstayed), but in each case referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), only if the TLOG Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would reasonably be expected to cause the TLOG Board to be in breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable Legal Requirement. Nothing contained herein shall prevent the TLOG Board from disclosing to TLOG’s Shareholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to an Alternative Transaction Proposal, if TLOG determines, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to disclose such position would constitute a violation of applicable Legal Requirement.

 

(c)                                  The TLOG Board shall not take any of the actions referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 7.9(b) unless TLOG shall have delivered to the Buyer a prior written notice advising Buyer that it intends to take such action. TLOG shall notify Buyer promptly (but in no event later than twenty-four (24) hours) after receipt by TLOG (or any of its Representatives) of any Alternative Transaction Proposal, any inquiry that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Alternative Transaction Proposal, any request for non-public information relating to TLOG or any of its Subsidiaries or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of TLOG or any of its Subsidiaries by any Third Party. In such notice, TLOG shall identify the Third Party making, and details of the material terms and conditions of, any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, indication or request. TLOG shall keep Buyer fully informed, on a current basis, of the status and material terms of any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, indication or request, including any material amendments or proposed amendments as to price and other material terms thereof. TLOG shall provide Buyer with at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice of any meeting of the TLOG Board (or such lesser notice as is provided to the members of the TLOG Board) at which the TLOG Board is reasonably expected to consider any Alternative Transaction Proposal. TLOG shall promptly provide Buyer with a list of any non-public information concerning TLOG’s business, present or future performance, financial condition or results of operations, provided to any Third Party, and, to the extent such information has not been previously provided to the Buyer, copies of such information.

 

(d)                                 Except as set forth in this Section 7.9(d), the TLOG Board shall not make any TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a TLOG Acquisition Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Requisite Approvals, the TLOG Board may make a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change or enter into (or permit any Subsidiary to enter into) a TLOG Acquisition Agreement, if: (i) TLOG promptly notifies Buyer, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days (the “Notice Period”) before making a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change or entering into (or causing a Subsidiary to enter into) a TLOG Acquisition Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which notice shall state expressly that TLOG has received an Alternative Transaction Proposal that the TLOG Board intends to declare a Superior Proposal and that the TLOG Board intends to make a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change and/or TLOG intends to enter into a TLOG Acquisition Agreement; (ii) TLOG attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the Third Party making such Superior Proposal; (iii) TLOG shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with the Buyer in good faith to make such

 

37

 

adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Alternative Transaction Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if Buyer, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including, any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3) Business Days remains in the Notice Period subsequent to the time TLOG notifies Buyer of any such material revision (it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); and (iv) the TLOG Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Alternative Transaction Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by the Buyer during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 7.10                             Shareholders and Noteholders Meetings; Preparation of Proxy Materials.

 

(a)                                 Subject to the terms set forth in this Agreement, TLOG shall take all action necessary to duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the TLOG Shareholders Meeting and obtain the TLOG Noteholders Consent as soon as reasonably practicable after the date the SEC confirms that it has no further comments on the TLOG Proxy Statement, and, in connection therewith, TLOG shall mail the TLOG Proxy Statement to the holders of its Common Stock in advance of such meeting (and in any event not more than thirty (30) days after the date hereof).  Except to the extent that the TLOG Board shall have effected a TLOG Adverse Recommendation Change as permitted by Section 7.9(b) hereof, the TLOG Proxy Statement shall include the TLOG Board Recommendation.  Subject to Section 7.9 hereof, TLOG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) solicit from (A) the holders of TLOG Common Stock proxies in favor of the approval of the transactions contemplated hereby and (B) the holders of TLOG Senior Notes consent to the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) take all other actions necessary or advisable to secure the vote or consent of the holders of TLOG Common Stock and TLOG Senior Notes required by applicable Legal Requirement to obtain such approval or consent. TLOG shall keep Buyer updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as requested Buyer.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, TLOG may, in its sole discretion, adjourn, recess or postpone the TLOG Shareholders Meeting (i) to the extent necessary to ensure that any supplement or amendment to the TLOG Proxy Statement required by applicable Legal Requirement is provided to the TLOG Shareholders within a reasonable amount of time in advance of the TLOG Shareholders Meeting, (ii) if as of the time for which the TLOG Shareholders Meeting is originally scheduled (as set forth in the TLOG Proxy Statement) there are insufficient shares of TLOG capital stock represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the TLOG Shareholders Meeting, or (iii) to solicit additional proxies if TLOG reasonably believes it may be necessary to obtain TLOG stockholder approval.  TLOG shall not be required to hold the TLOG Shareholders Meeting or obtain the TLOG Noteholders Consent if this Agreement is terminated before such meeting is held or consent received.

 

(c)                                  None of the information included or incorporated by reference in the letter to the TLOG Shareholders or the TLOG Noteholders, notice of meeting, proxy statement and forms of proxy (collectively, the “TLOG Proxy Statement”), to be filed with the SEC in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will, at the date it is first mailed to the TLOG Shareholders or at the time of the TLOG Shareholders Meeting or at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no representation or warranty is made by TLOG with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by the Buyer expressly for inclusion or

 

38

 

incorporation by reference in the TLOG Proxy Statement. The TLOG Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act.

 

(d)                                 In connection with the TLOG Shareholders Meeting, as soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement TLOG shall prepare and file the TLOG Proxy Statement with the SEC.  The Buyer and the Sellers will cooperate and consult with each other in the preparation of the TLOG Proxy Statement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer will furnish TLOG the information relating to the Buyer required by the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder to be set forth in the TLOG Proxy Statement.

TLOG agrees to consult with the Buyer prior to responding to SEC comments with respect to the preliminary TLOG Proxy Statement. Each of Buyer and the Sellers agrees to correct any information provided by it for use in the TLOG Proxy Statement which shall have become false or misleading and TLOG shall promptly prepare and mail to its shareholders an amendment or supplement setting forth such correction. TLOG shall as soon as reasonably practicable (i) notify Buyer of the receipt of any comments from the SEC with respect to the TLOG Proxy Statement and any request by the SEC for any amendment to the TLOG Proxy Statement or for additional information and (ii) provide Buyer with copies of all written correspondence between TLOG and its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the TLOG Proxy Statement.
