On July 17, 2015, the Mergers were completed. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 26, 2015 (the “Bio Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Patriot S1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub Bio”), TEI Bio, and Dr. Yiannis Monovoukas, as securityholders’ representative (the “SH Rep”), Merger Sub Bio merged with and into TEI Bio, resulting in TEI Bio becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. In accordance with the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of June 26, 2015 (the “Med Merger Agreement”, and, together with the Bio Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”) by and among the Company, Patriot S2, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub Med”), TEI Med, and the SH Rep, Merger Sub Med merged with and into TEI Med, resulting in TEI Med becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

TEI Bio is in the business of developing and commercializing biologic devices for soft tissue repair and regenerative applications, including dura and hernia repair and plastic and reconstructive surgery. TEI Med is a spin-off of TEI Bio and holds a license to TEI Bio’s regenerative technology in the fields of wound healing and orthopedics.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreements, the Company paid an aggregate purchase price of $312 million ($211 million pursuant to the Bio Merger Agreement, and $101 million pursuant to the Med Merger Agreement), subject in each case to purchase price adjustments for certain working capital changes. A portion of the merger consideration under each Merger Agreement will be held in escrow pursuant to escrow agreements entered into at the closing of the Mergers.

The description of the terms of the Merger Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of such Merger Agreements attached as Exhibit 2.1 (the “Bio Merger Agreement”) and 2.2 (the “Med Merger Agreement”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

(g) Subject Matter . The rights and remedies of an Indemnified Person based upon any inaccuracy or breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the facts upon which such Indemnified Person’s claim is based may also be within the scope of a different provision of this Agreement (including a provision as to which there is no inaccuracy for breach).

  12.4 Tax Matters

(a) Tax Returns .

(i) TEI Bio shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary that are required to be filed (taking into account any extension) on or before the Closing Date, and TEI Bio shall pay, or cause to be paid, all Taxes of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary due on or before the Closing Date. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account any extension) for the filing of any such Tax Return that is an income Tax Return, TEI Bio shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return to Parent for Parent’s review, and TEI Bio shall consider in good faith any reasonable comment that Parent submits to TEI Bio no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return.

 

62


(ii) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary that relate to Tax Periods ending on or before the Closing Date but that are required to be filed after the Closing Date, and the Securityholders shall indemnify Parent (in accordance with ARTICLE 11 ) for all Taxes due with respect to such Tax Returns. At least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account any extension) for the filing of any such income Tax Return, and at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account any extension) for the filing of any other such Tax Return, Parent shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return to the SH Rep for the SH Rep’s review. Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comment that the SH Rep submits to Parent no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return.

(iii) Parent shall prepare and timely file, or cause to be prepared and timely filed, all Tax Returns in respect of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary that are required to be filed for a Straddle Period. At least ten (10) Business Days prior to the due date (taking into account any extension) for the filing of any such Tax Return, Parent shall deliver a copy of such Tax Return to the SH Rep for the SH Rep’s review. Parent shall consider in good faith any reasonable comment relating to the Pre-Closing Tax Period that the SH Rep submits to Parent no less than five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of such Tax Return.

(iv) With respect to Taxes of TEI Bio or the UK Subsidiary relating to a Straddle Period, the Securityholders shall indemnify Parent (in accordance with ARTICLE 11 ) for the amount of such Taxes allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date. The amount of Taxes relating to a Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date will be: (A) in the case of property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (B) in the case of all other Taxes (other than Taxes covered by Section 3.7 ), determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date. For purposes of computing the Taxes attributable to the two portions of the Straddle Period pursuant to this Section 12.4(a)(iv) , the amount of any item that is taken into account only once for each Tax Period (e.g., the benefit of graduated Tax rates, exemption amounts) shall be allocated between the two portions of the Straddle Period in proportion to the number of days in each portion. For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Tax of TEI Bio under Section 951(a) of the Code that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date shall be determined based on an interim closing of the books of the UK Subsidiary as of the close of business on the Closing Date (and for such purpose, the Tax Period of the UK Subsidiary shall be deemed to terminate at such time). Any transactions that occur on the Closing Date but after the Closing and that are not incurred in the ordinary course of business of TEI Bio or the UK Subsidiary (other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) shall be considered allocable to a Post-Closing Tax Period.

(v) All Tax Returns described in this Section 12.4(a) , to the extent relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, shall be prepared in accordance with past custom and practice of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary in preparing their Tax Returns, except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law.

 

63

Parent and the SH Rep agree to furnish or cause to be furnished to the other, upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance relating to Taxes of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary, including, without limitation, access to books and records, as is reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax Returns by Parent or the SH Rep, the preparation for any audit by any Taxing Authority and the prosecution or defense of any claim, suit or proceeding relating to any Tax. Each of Parent and the SH Rep shall retain all books and records with respect to Taxes of TEI Bio and the UK Subsidiary for a period of at least seven (7) years following the Closing Date.

(c) Notice of Tax Claims . If a Governmental Authority shall commence any audit, examination or other proceeding or make any claim relating to Taxes that, if successful, might result in an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 11.2 (a “ Tax Claim” ), Parent shall promptly give written notice of such Tax Claim to the SH Rep, together with copies of all notices and communications relating to such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of Parent to give such notice shall only relieve the Securityholders from their indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent the Securityholders demonstrate actual and material damage caused by such failure.

(d) Control of Tax Claims . The SH Rep shall, upon written notification to Parent, control all proceedings at its own expense and may make all decisions with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided that the SH Rep shall not settle any such Tax Claim without Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) if the resolution of such Tax Claim reasonably could be expected to affect the Tax liability of TEI Bio or the UK Subsidiary for any Post-Closing Tax Period. The SH Rep and Parent shall jointly control all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period, and any such Tax Claim shall not be settled without the prior written consent of both the SH Rep and Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the SH Rep declines to assume the defense of any Tax Claim that it is entitled to control and defend pursuant to this Section 12.4(d) after receipt of notice thereof, or if SH Rep is not entitled to control or defend any Tax Claim pursuant to this Section 12.4(d) , Parent shall thereupon have the right to undertake the control, defense and settlement of such Tax Claim; provided that Parent shall not settle any such Tax Claim without SH Rep’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 12.4(d) , on the one hand, and Section 11.2(c) , on the other hand, with respect to any Tax Claim, the provisions of this Section 12.4(d) shall control.

(e) Refunds . The TEI Bio Securityholders shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits in lieu of refunds of Taxes of TEI Bio or the UK Subsidiary attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, net of any reasonable cost to Parent or its subsidiaries attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund, provided that (1) such Taxes were paid by TEI Bio or the UK Subsidiary at or prior to the Closing or by a TEI Bio Securityholder at or after the Closing, and (2) such refund does not arise as a result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a Post-Closing Tax Period. Parent and its Affiliates

(g) Subject Matter . The rights and remedies of an Indemnified Person based upon any inaccuracy or breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be limited by the fact that the facts upon which such Indemnified Person’s claim is based may also be within the scope of a different provision of this Agreement (including a provision as to which there is no inaccuracy for breach).

The amount of Taxes relating to a Straddle Period that is allocable to the portion of the Straddle Period that is deemed to end on the Closing Date will be: (A) in the case of property Taxes and other Taxes imposed on a periodic basis, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period, and (B) in the case of all other Taxes (other than Taxes covered by Section 3.7 ), determined based on an interim closing of the books as of the close of business on the Closing Date.

If a Governmental Authority shall commence any audit, examination or other proceeding or make any claim relating to Taxes that, if successful, might result in an indemnification payment pursuant to Section 11.2 (a “ Tax Claim” ), Parent shall promptly give written notice of such Tax Claim to the SH Rep, together with copies of all notices and communications relating to such Tax Claim; provided, however, that the failure of Parent to give such notice shall only relieve the Securityholders from their indemnification obligations hereunder to the extent the Securityholders demonstrate actual and material damage caused by such failure.

(d) Control of Tax Claims . The SH Rep shall, upon written notification to Parent, control all proceedings at its own expense and may make all decisions with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Tax Period ending on or before the Closing Date; provided that the SH Rep shall not settle any such Tax Claim without Parent’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed) if the resolution of such Tax Claim reasonably could be expected to affect the Tax liability of TEI Med for any Post-Closing Tax Period. The SH Rep and Parent shall jointly control all proceedings with respect to any Tax Claim relating to a Straddle Period, and any such Tax Claim shall not be settled without the prior written consent of both the SH Rep and Parent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). If the SH Rep declines to assume the defense of any Tax Claim that it is entitled to control and defend pursuant to this Section 12.4(d) after receipt of notice thereof, or if SH Rep is not entitled to control or defend any Tax Claim pursuant to this Section 12.4(d) , Parent shall thereupon have the right to undertake the control, defense and settlement of such Tax Claim; provided that Parent shall not settle any such Tax Claim without SH Rep’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed). In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Section 12.4(d) , on the one hand, and Section 11.2(c) , on the other hand, with respect to any Tax Claim, the provisions of this Section 12.4(d) shall control.

(e) Refunds . The TEI Med Securityholders shall be entitled to any refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits in lieu of refunds of Taxes of TEI Med attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period, net of any reasonable cost to Parent or its subsidiaries attributable to the obtaining and receipt of such refund, provided that (1) such Taxes were paid by TEI Med at or prior to the Closing or by a TEI Med Securityholder at or after the Closing, and (2) such refund does not arise as a result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a Post-Closing Tax Period. Parent and its Affiliates shall reasonably cooperate with the SH Rep in obtaining any refund or credit to which the TEI Med Securityholders are entitled under this Section 12.4(e) . Subject to the foregoing, Parent shall promptly forward to or reimburse the TEI Med Securityholders for any such refunds (including any interest paid thereon) or credits due to the TEI Med Securityholders after receipt thereof. To the extent such refund or credit is subsequently disallowed or required to be returned to the applicable Taxing Authority, the TEI Med Securityholders shall promptly repay the amount of such refund, together with any interest imposed by such Taxing Authority and any penalties or additional amounts imposed by such Taxing Authority that are attributable to any action of the TEI Med Securityholders, to Parent.

(f) No Section 336(e) or 338 Election . Parent agrees that it will not make any election under Sections 336(e) or 338 of the Code, or any comparable election under state or local law, with respect to the acquisition of TEI Med.

(g) Post-Closing Actions . Parent shall not (and shall not cause or permit TEI Med or any Affiliate to) file, amend, re-file or otherwise modify any Tax Return or Tax election relating in whole or in part to TEI Med or agree to the waiver or any extension of the statute of limitations, with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period without the prior written consent of the SH Rep (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Parent shall purchase and keep in place for a period of not less than three (3) years after the Effective Time a successor products liability insurance plan with a liability limit of not less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) naming each of TEI Med and TEI Bio as named insureds.
