Item 8.01 Other Events

On January 26, 2016, Lockheed Martin Corporation (“Lockheed Martin”) filed a current report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission reporting that it had entered into (i) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated January 26, 2016, among Lockheed Martin, Leidos Holdings, Inc. (“Leidos”), Abacus Innovations Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin (“Spinco”), and Lion Merger Co., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Leidos (“Merger Sub”) and (ii) a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”), dated January 26, 2016, between Lockheed Martin and Spinco, and providing a brief description of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement that are material to Lockheed Martin. This current report on Form 8-K is being filed solely to file a copy of the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement, which were omitted from the earlier Form 8-K and are filed as Exhibit 2.1 and Exhibit 2.2, respectively, hereto.

The Separation Agreement and the Merger Agreement have been filed to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Separation Agreement and the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Lockheed Martin, Spinco, Leidos, Merger Sub, their respective subsidiaries and affiliates, or Lockheed Martin’s government information technology and technical services businesses, which have been realigned in its Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment. The Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties of Lockheed Martin and Spinco solely for the benefit of Leidos and Merger Sub and representations and warranties of Leidos and Merger Sub solely for the benefit of Lockheed Martin and Spinco. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in confidential disclosure letters that the parties have exchanged in connection with signing the Merger Agreement as of a specific date. The disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Merger Agreement. Therefore, investors and security holders should not treat them as categorical statements of fact. Moreover, these representations and warranties may apply standards of materiality in a way that is different from what may be material to investors. They were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement and they are subject to more recent developments. Accordingly, investors and security holders should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Lockheed Martin and Leidos and their subsidiaries that the respective companies include in reports and statements they file with the SEC.

Description

2.1    Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of January 26, 2016, among Lockheed Martin Corporation, Leidos Holdings, Inc., Abacus Innovations Corporation and Lion Merger Co.
2.2    Separation Agreement, dated as of January 26, 2016, between Lockheed Martin Corporation and Abacus Innovations Corporation.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The forward looking statements contained in this document involve risks and uncertainties that may affect Lockheed Martin Corporation’s (“ Lockheed Martin ”) and Leidos Holdings, Inc.’s (“ Leidos ”) operations, markets, products, services, prices and other factors as discussed in filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”). These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, economic, competitive, legal, governmental and technological factors. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the expectations of either company will be realized.

 

1  

The schedules and attachments to the Merger Agreement and the Separation Agreement have been omitted pursuant to Item 601(b)(2) of Regulation S-K, and such schedules and attachments will be furnished to the SEC upon request.

This document also contains statements about Lockheed Martin’s agreement to separate a substantial portion of its government information technology infrastructure services business and its technical services business, which have been realigned in the Information Systems & Global Solutions (IS&GS) business segment, and combine this business with Leidos in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction (the “Transaction”). Many factors could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements with respect to the Transaction, including risks relating to the completion of the transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining stockholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, the dependency of any split-off transaction on market conditions and the value to be received in any split-off transaction, unforeseen liabilities, future capital expenditures, revenues, expenses, earnings, synergies, economic performance, indebtedness, financial condition, losses, future prospects, business and management strategies for the management, expansion and growth of the new combined company’s operations, Leidos’ ability to integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated synergies, and the risk that disruptions from the Transaction will harm Lockheed Martin’s or Leidos’ business. While the list of factors presented here is considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward-looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Lockheed Martin’s or Leidos’ consolidated financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. For a discussion identifying additional important factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements, see Lockheed Martin and Leidos’ filings with the SEC, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Risk Factors” in Lockheed Martin’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 and in Leidos’ annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 30, 2015, and in their quarterly reports on Form 10-Q which are available on the respective companies websites at http://www.Leidos.com (Leidos) and http://www.lockheedmartin.com (Lockheed Martin) and at the SEC’s web site at  http://www.sec.gov . Neither Lockheed Martin nor Leidos assumes any obligation to provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

The Spinco Audited Financial Statements shall conform in all material respects to the published rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to financial statements for each of the periods that will be required to be included in the Registration Statement, the Proxy Statement or, if applicable, the Schedule TO.

LMC maintains disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act, and such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information concerning LMC and its Subsidiaries is made known on a timely basis to the individuals responsible for the preparation of LMC’s SEC filings and other public disclosure documents.

(g) The Spinco Commitment Letter, in the form so delivered, is in full force and effect and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Spinco and, to the knowledge of LMC and Spinco, the other parties thereto (in each case, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and remedies generally and to general principles of equity). As of the date of this Agreement (assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties and undertakings of RMT Parent and Merger Sub under this

Agreement for such purpose), no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach on the part of Spinco under any term or condition of the Spinco Commitment Letter. Other than as set forth in the Spinco Commitment Letter, there are no conditions precedent to the funding of the full amount of the Spinco Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, and subject to the satisfaction of all the conditions set forth in Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 , Spinco has no reason to believe that any of the conditions to the Spinco Financing that are required to be satisfied by it or any other party to the Spinco Commitment Letter as a condition to the obligations under the Spinco Commitment Letter will not be satisfied on a timely basis or that the Spinco Financing contemplated by the Spinco Commitment Letter will not be available to Spinco immediately prior to, or on, the Distribution Date.

Each of LMC and its Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material respects with ERISA, the Code and all other material Applicable Laws. All employer and employee contributions required to have been made by LMC to each U.S. LMC Plan have, in all material respects, been timely made. There is no material Proceeding pending, or to the knowledge of LMC threatened, with respect to any U.S. Spinco Plan, other than ordinary course claims for benefits. Each U.S. Spinco Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination or opinion letter from the IRS, or an application for a favorable determination by the IRS has been timely filed and is currently pending, and, to the knowledge of LMC, nothing has occurred that would reasonably be expected to result in a loss of the Tax-qualified status of such U.S. Spinco Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code.

21


(d) No Liability under Title IV or Section 302 of ERISA has been incurred by LMC or any Person that is a member of a “controlled group of corporations” with, or is under “common control” with, or is a member of the same “affiliated service group” with LMC, in each case, as defined in Sections 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code (each, an “ ERISA Affiliate ”) that has not been satisfied in full, and, to the knowledge of LMC, no condition exists that presents a material risk to LMC or any ERISA Affiliate of incurring any such liability, other than liability for premiums due the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (which premiums have been paid when due). No U.S. LMC Plan that is subject to Section 302 or Title IV of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code (a “ Title IV Plan ”) or any trust established thereunder has incurred any “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 302 of ERISA and Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of each Title IV Plan ended prior to the Closing. Neither LMC nor any of its ERISA Affiliates has, within the preceding six years, withdrawn in a complete or partial withdrawal from any “multiemployer plan” (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA) or incurred any liability under Section 4204 of ERISA that has not been satisfied in full.

(e) Each Non-U.S. LMC Plan has been administered in compliance in all material respects with its terms and operated in compliance in all material respects with Applicable Laws. Each Non-U.S. LMC Plan required to be registered or approved by a non-U.S. governmental entity has been so registered or approved and has been maintained in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities, and, to the knowledge of LMC, no event has occurred since the date of the most recent approval or application therefor relating to any such Non-U.S. LMC Plan that could reasonably be expected to materially affect any such approval relating thereto or increase the costs relating thereto in a manner material to LMC. Each Non-U.S. LMC Plan is funded or insured in material compliance with Applicable Law. LMC’s Israeli Affiliated Transferor’s Liability towards the Israeli Employees regarding severance pay, accrued vacation and contributions to all Funds are fully funded or, if not required by any source to be fully funded, are accrued on LMC’s Israeli Affiliated Transferor’s financial statements as of the date of such financial statements. LMC’s Israeli Affiliated Transferor specifically declares that the employment agreements of all Israeli Employees duly adopted the terms and conditions detailed in the general approval of the Minister of Labor regarding payments by employers to a pension fund and insurance fund in lieu of severance pay in accordance with Section 14 of the Severance Pay Law, 1963 as of their start date of employment and based on their full determining salary for purposes of severance pay, and accordingly the LMC Israeli Affiliated Transferor’s contributions to the severance component within the Funds of the Israeli Employees fully satisfy its severance pay liability towards the Israeli Employees for the period of their employment up to the Distribution Date.

(f) Except as set forth in Section 4.14(f)(1) of the LMC Disclosure Letter, none of the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the Internal Reorganization, the Distribution or the consummation of the Merger or any other Contemplated Transaction (alone or in conjunction with any other event, including any termination of employment) will (i) entitle any Spinco Business Employee to any material compensation or benefit, (ii) accelerate the

 

22


time of payment or vesting, or trigger any payment or funding, of any material compensation or benefit or trigger any other material obligation under any LMC Plan, or (iii) result in any breach or violation of or default under, or limit LMC’s right to amend, modify or terminate, any LMC Plan, in each case except as provided in this Agreement or the Employee Matters Agreement or pursuant to Applicable Law. Except as disclosed in Section 4.14(f)(2) of the LMC Disclosure Letter, no amounts payable under the LMC Plans will fail to be deductible for federal income Tax purposes by virtue of Section 280G of the Code as a result of the occurrence of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, either alone or in combination with another event.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(i) the RMT Parent Board may make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation if (A) other than in connection with or as a result of the making of a Competing RMT Parent Transaction, a material development or change in circumstances that was not known or reasonably foreseeable (or if known or reasonably foreseeable, the probability or magnitude of consequences of which were not known or reasonably foreseeable) to the RMT Parent Board on the date of this Agreement occurs or arises after the date of this Agreement, which material development or change in circumstances becomes known to the RMT Parent Board prior to the RMT Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (such material development or change in circumstances being referred to as an “ Intervening Event ” (it being understood that in no event shall (i) any action taken by any Party pursuant to and in compliance with the affirmative covenants set forth in Article VI , or any action taken or omitted with the consent of RMT Parent (in the case of actions taken or omitted by LMC or Spinco) or any action taken or omitted by RMT Parent, and the consequences of any such action or omission, or (ii) the receipt, existence of or terms of a Competing RMT Parent Transaction constitute an Intervening Event), (B) the RMT Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with its outside legal counsel, that an Intervening Event has occurred; (C) the RMT Parent Board does not effect, or cause RMT Parent to effect, a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation at any time within three business days after LMC receives written notice from RMT Parent that the RMT Parent Board has determined that an Intervening Event requires the RMT Parent Board to effect, or cause RMT Parent to effect, a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation (provided, a new notice shall be required with respect to any change in circumstances and a new notice period of three business days shall begin); (D) during such applicable period, if requested by LMC, RMT Parent engages in good faith negotiations, and directs its financial advisors and outside legal advisors to, engage in good faith negotiations, with LMC to amend this Agreement in such a manner that obviates the need for the RMT Parent Board to effect, or cause RMT Parent to effect, a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation as a result of such Intervening Event; and (E) the RMT Parent Board determines in good faith, after having consulted with its outside legal counsel, that, in light of such Intervening Event, a failure to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation would be inconsistent with the RMT Parent Board’s fiduciary duties to RMT Parent or its stockholders under Applicable Law; or

(ii) if at any time prior to the receipt of the RMT Parent Stockholder Approval and in response to the receipt of an offer or proposal with respect to a Competing RMT Parent Transaction that did not arise or result from any breach of this Section 7.03 , the RMT Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel), that such offer or proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and determines in its good faith judgment (after consulting with outside legal counsel) that the failure by the RMT Parent Board to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation with respect

 

60


to such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties to RMT Parent and its stockholders under Applicable Law, the RMT Parent Board may, with respect to such Superior Proposal, make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation; provided , however , that the RMT Parent Board shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation pursuant to this Section 7.03(d)(ii) unless:

(1) RMT Parent has provided written notice to LMC (a “ Notice of Superior Proposal ”) advising LMC that the RMT Parent Board has received a Superior Proposal promptly after the RMT Parent Board determines it has received a Superior Proposal, stating that the RMT Parent Board intends to make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation describing the terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal; and

(2) LMC does not, within five Business Days of receipt of the Notice of Superior Proposal (the “ Notice Period ”), make an offer or proposal to revise the terms of this Agreement (any such offer, a “ Revised Transaction Proposal ”) in a manner that the RMT Parent Board determines in its good faith judgment, after consulting with a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation and outside legal counsel, to be at least as favorable to RMT Parent’s stockholders as such Superior Proposal; provided , however , that, during the Notice Period, RMT Parent shall negotiate in good faith with LMC (to the extent LMC desires to negotiate) regarding any Revised Transaction Proposal; provided , further , that any amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal during the Notice Period shall require a new written notice of the terms of such amended Superior Proposal from RMT Parent and an additional three Business Day Notice Period that satisfies this Section 7.03(d)(ii)(2) , including with respect to RMT Parent’s obligations to negotiate in good faith with LMC.

(e) Any disclosure that the RMT Parent Board may be compelled to make with respect to the receipt of a proposal or offer with respect to a Competing RMT Parent Transaction or otherwise consistent with its fiduciary duties to RMT Parent and its stockholders under Applicable Law or Rule 14d-9 or with Rule 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act will not constitute a violation of this Section 7.03 ; provided , however , that neither the RMT Parent Board nor any committee thereof shall make a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation in connection with such disclosure (it being understood that any “stop, look and listen” communication by or on behalf of RMT Parent pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) shall not be considered a Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation) unless permitted by Section 7.03(d) . Any Change in the RMT Parent Recommendation shall not change the approval of the RMT Parent Board for purposes of causing any state takeover statute or other Applicable Law to be inapplicable to the Contemplated Transactions.

(f) LMC agrees that it will not, nor will it permit any of its Subsidiaries to, and that it will instruct its Representatives not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing non-public information), or take any other action to knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer (including any proposal or offer to LMC’s stockholders), with respect to any Competing Spinco Transaction, (ii) enter into, maintain, continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person or entity in furtherance of inquiries or to obtain a

LMC shall not, and shall cause its Subsidiaries not to, and LMC shall instruct its Representatives not to, release any third party from, or waive any provision of, any confidentiality or, subject to applicable duties of its directors under Applicable Law, standstill agreement to which it or one of its Affiliates is a party in connection with a Competing Spinco Transaction. LMC shall, and shall cause it Subsidiaries to, promptly request each Person (other than RMT Parent and its Affiliates) that has heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement with LMC or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with such Person’s consideration of a Competing Spinco Transaction (whether by merger, acquisition of stock or assets or otherwise), to return (or if permitted by the applicable confidentiality agreement, destroy) all information required to be returned (or, if applicable, destroyed) by such Person under the terms of the applicable confidentiality agreement and, if requested by RMT Parent, to enforce such Person’s obligation to do so. LMC shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours after LMC attains knowledge thereof) notify RMT Parent, orally and in writing, after the receipt by LMC or any of its Representatives of any proposal, inquiry, offer or request (or any amendment thereto) with respect to a Competing Spinco Transaction, including any request for discussions or negotiations and any request for information relating to LMC or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Spinco Business, or for access to the business, properties, assets, books or records of LMC or any of its Affiliates with respect to the Spinco Business.

LMC will use reasonable best efforts to procure, at its expense, the delivery of the consents of its independent accountants required to be filed with the Form S-4 Registration Statement or any future registration statement until such independent accountant consents are no longer required.

LMC acknowledges that RMT Parent’s obligations under Section 7.01 depend, in part, on LMC’s compliance with this Section 7.16 , and therefore RMT Parent shall be afforded a reasonable period to comply with such obligations based upon the timing of LMC providing the financial statements contemplated in this Section 7.16 .

Section 7.18 Spinco Authorized Shares .

Prior to the Distribution, LMC and Spinco shall take all such actions necessary to amend and restate Spinco’s organizational documents, in form reasonably acceptable to RMT Parent, such that the authorized number of Spinco shares shall exceed the number of Spinco shares contemplated by Section 2.04(d) of this Agreement and Section 3.03 of the Separation Agreement.

SEPARATION AGREEMENT

This Separation Agreement (together with the Exhibits, Attachments and Schedules hereto, this “ Agreement ”) is made as of the 26 th day of January 2016, by and between Lockheed Martin Corporation, a Maryland corporation (“ Parent ”), and Abacus Innovations Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent (“ Spinco ”). Each of Parent and Spinco is sometimes referred to individually as a “ Party ” and collectively they are sometimes referred to as the “ Parties .”

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, Parent, among other things, is engaged, directly and indirectly through certain of its Subsidiaries, in the Spinco Business;

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent has determined that it is in the best interests of Parent and its stockholders to separate the Spinco Business from the remaining businesses of Parent and its Subsidiaries (the “ Separation ”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated of even date herewith, (the “ Merger Agreement ”), among Parent, Spinco, Leidos Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“ Merger Partner ”) and Lion Merger Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Merger Partner (“ Merger Partner Sub ”), immediately following the Distribution, Merger Partner Sub will merge with and into Spinco (the “ Merger ”) and, in connection with the Merger, Spinco Common Stock will be converted into shares of common stock of Merger Partner on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Parent desires to reorganize the Spinco Business so that it is conducted through Spinco and Subsidiaries of Spinco;

WHEREAS, in connection with the reorganization of the Spinco Business, Parent desires to transfer, or to cause the Affiliated Transferors to transfer, to the Spinco Companies certain of the assets held, owned or used by Parent and the Affiliated Transferors to conduct the Spinco Business, and to assign certain liabilities associated with the Spinco Business to the Spinco Companies, and the Spinco Companies desire to receive such assets and assume such liabilities;

WHEREAS, in connection with the reorganization of the Spinco Business, Spinco desires to transfer, or to cause the Spinco Subsidiaries to transfer, to the Parent Companies certain of the assets held, owned or used by Spinco and the Spinco Subsidiaries to conduct the Parent Business, and to assign certain liabilities associated with the Parent Business to the Parent Companies, and Parent desires to receive such assets and assume such liabilities;

WHEREAS, to implement the Separation, following the internal reorganization of the Spinco Business as set forth in Attachment I (the “ Internal Reorganization ”) and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Board of Directors of Parent has determined either to (a) distribute, without consideration, all of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Spinco to Parent’s stockholders by way of a pro rata dividend (the “ One-Step Spin-Off ”), or


(b) consummate an offer to exchange shares of Spinco Common Stock for currently outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock (the “ Exchange Offer ”) and, in the event that Parent’s stockholders subscribe for less than all of the Spinco Common Stock in the Exchange Offer, distribute, without consideration and pro rata to holders of Parent Common Stock, any unsubscribed Spinco Common Stock on the Distribution Date immediately following the consummation of the Exchange Offer so that Parent may be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as having distributed all of the Spinco Common Stock to its stockholders (the “ Clean-Up Spin-Off ”);

WHEREAS, the disposition by Parent of the Spinco Common Stock to Parent stockholders, whether by way of the One-Step Spin-Off or the Exchange Offer (followed by any Clean-Up Spin-Off, if necessary), is referred to as the “ Distribution ”;

WHEREAS, Parent and Spinco contemplate that, concurrently with or immediately prior to the Internal Reorganization and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Spinco will enter into the definitive debt financing arrangements contemplated by the Spinco Commitment Letter and as further described in this Agreement and in the Merger Agreement (the “ Spinco Financing Arrangements ”);

WHEREAS, in connection with the Separation, Parent and Spinco each have determined that it is appropriate for Spinco to pay the Spinco Special Cash Payment to Parent on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Parties intend that, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes, the Internal Reorganization, the Spinco Transfer, the Parent Cash Distribution and the Distribution will be treated as contemplated by the Tax Matters Agreement and, accordingly, that the (a) Spinco Transfer and the Distribution, taken together, qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(D) of the Code and that each of Parent and Spinco will be a “party to the reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code, (b) the Distribution, as such, qualifies as a distribution of Spinco Common Stock to Parent’s shareholders pursuant to Section 355 of the Code, and (c) the Parent Cash Distribution qualifies as money distributed to Parent creditors or shareholders in connection with the reorganization for purposes of Section 361(b) of the Code;

WHEREAS, it is a condition to the Merger that, prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Internal Reorganization, the Spinco Transfer, the Spinco Special Cash Payment and the Distribution will have been completed;

WHEREAS, the Parties are entering into the Tax Matters Agreement and the Employee Matters Agreement contemporaneously with this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the treatment of outstanding Parent stock options, performance stock units, restricted stock units and other types of equity incentive awards in connection with the Merger will be as set forth in the Merger Agreement;

Section 2.03 Assignment of Contracts and Rights by Parent Group .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise sell, convey, sublicense or Transfer any Contract constituting a Transferred Asset, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, or to enter into any other agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, if an attempted assignment, sale, conveyance, sublicense or Transfer thereof, or entering into any such agreement or arrangement, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach of, or other contravention under, any Contract to which any Parent Company is a party, be ineffective with respect to any party thereto or in any way adversely affect the

 

4


rights of any Parent Company or any Spinco Company thereunder. With respect to any such Contract (or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom), from and after the date hereof, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts (but without any payment of money or other transfer of value by any Party to any third party) to obtain any required consent for the assignment, sale, conveyance, sublicense or Transfer of such Contract to Spinco, or written confirmation from such parties reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent confirming that such consent is not required. If a required consent is not obtained prior to the Distribution Effective Time with respect to any such Contract, then, if and to the extent permitted under, and subject to the terms of, such Contract, and subject to Applicable Law, Parent and Spinco shall cooperate to enter into, as of the Distribution Effective Time, a mutually agreeable arrangement under which (i) Spinco would obtain, through a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement or otherwise, the claims, rights and benefits of Parent Companies under such Contract in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) Spinco would assume all obligations of Parent Companies under such Contracts and agree to perform and discharge all obligations under such Contracts, and (iii) Parent Companies would enforce at Spinco’s cost and at the reasonable request of and for the benefit of Spinco, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Parent Companies against any third party thereto arising from any such Contract; provided that neither Party shall be required to make any payment of money or other transfer of value in connection with any such arrangement. In the event Spinco shall elect to make any payment of money or other transfer of value, including any consent fee, transfer fee or similar arrangement, whether in connection with obtaining any consent under this Section 2.03(a) or entering into any arrangement contemplated by the preceding sentence (collectively, a “ Consent Fee ”), Spinco shall be solely responsible for such Consent Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(a) , in the case of commercial off-the-shelf (“ COTS ”) software that is readily available, licensed pursuant to a standard non-negotiable “shrink wrap” or other license agreement and generally has a purchase price of $10,000 or less per copy, instance, seat or user, Spinco shall have the sole responsibility for obtaining and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain license rights to use such software at Spinco’s cost and expense, and Parent shall have no obligation to assign or transfer, or to seek consent for the assignment or transfer of, or to grant any sublicense or other right in connection with, any such COTS software or any Contract related thereto; provided , however , that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of the Transition Services Agreement—Parent to Spinco or Section 11.03 of this Agreement; and provided , further , that upon reasonable request of Spinco, Parent shall provide reasonable assistance to Spinco in connection with obtaining such license rights.

(c) Without limiting the provisions of this Section 2.03 , this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement of any Parent Company to Transfer any confidential or proprietary

 

5


data or information of any Person other than Parent and its Affiliates (“ Third Party Proprietary Information ”) to any Spinco Company, and shall not constitute an authorization to use such Third Party Proprietary Information, to the extent such attempted conveyance, transfer or delivery, or such use, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach of, or other contravention under, any confidentiality or similar agreement or other Contract to which any Parent Company is a party. With respect to any such Third Party Proprietary Information, from and after the date hereof, Parent shall be responsible for obtaining, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but without any payment of money or other transfer of value by any Party to any third party) to obtain, any required consent for the Transfer or use, as applicable, of such Third Party Proprietary Information to Spinco Companies at the Distribution Effective Time. Without limiting the foregoing, Spinco Companies shall, upon request of Parent or any third party, enter into a proprietary information agreement or other confidentiality or similar agreement with any third party requiring Spinco Companies to treat and hold as confidential such Third Party Proprietary Information on terms and conditions that are no less restrictive than the terms and conditions of any confidentiality or similar agreement between Parent Companies with respect to the Spinco Business and any such third parties. To the extent any such consent is not obtained in accordance with the foregoing at or prior to the Distribution Effective Time, then the Spinco Companies shall be solely responsible for obtaining such consent at their sole cost and expense.

(d) Without limiting the provisions of this Section 2.03 , to the extent Parent or a Subsidiary of Parent is restricted under Applicable Law from effecting the Transfer hereunder to Spinco or the applicable Spinco Companies of any Data constituting a Transferred Asset, or the granting of the Right to Use any Data pursuant to Section 2.10 , this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to Transfer such Data, or grant such Right to Use, to the extent such Transfer or grant would violate Applicable Law. With respect to any such Data, from and after the date hereof, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other and use reasonable best efforts to eliminate such restriction in compliance with Applicable Law (including, if applicable, to obtain any required authorization of any Governmental Authority), and the Parties shall keep each other reasonably apprised of the Parties’ progress with respect thereto. If any such restriction cannot be so eliminated prior to the Distribution Effective Time with respect to any such Data, Parent and Spinco shall continue to so reasonably cooperate and use such reasonable best efforts to effect such Transfer or grant of Right to Use as soon as practicable following the Distribution Effective Time.

Section 2.04 Assignment of Contracts and Rights by Spinco Group .

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign or otherwise sell, convey, sublicense or Transfer any Contract constituting an Excluded Asset, or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting therefrom, or to enter into any other agreement or arrangement with respect thereto, if an attempted assignment, sale, conveyance, sublicense or Transfer thereof, or entering into any such agreement or arrangement, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach of, or other contravention under, any Contract to which any Parent Company or Spinco Company is a party, be ineffective with respect to any party thereto or in any way adversely affect the rights of any Spinco Company or any Parent Company thereunder. With respect to any such Contract (or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder or resulting

 

6


therefrom), from and after the date hereof, the Parties shall use reasonable best efforts (but without any payment of money or other transfer of value by any Party to any third party) to obtain any required consent for the assignment, sale, conveyance, sublicense or Transfer of such Contract to a Parent Company, or written confirmation from such parties reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent confirming that such consent is not required. If a required consent is not obtained prior to the Distribution Effective Time with respect to any such Contract, then, if and to the extent permitted under, and subject to the terms of, such Contract, and subject to Applicable Law, Parent and Spinco shall cooperate to enter into, as of the Distribution Effective Time, a mutually agreeable arrangement under which (i) Parent would obtain, through a subcontracting, sublicensing or subleasing arrangement or otherwise, the claims, rights and benefits of Spinco Companies under such Contract in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) Parent would assume all obligations of Spinco Companies under such Contracts and agree to perform and discharge all obligations under such Contracts, and (iii) Spinco Companies would enforce at Parent’s cost and at the reasonable request of and for the benefit of Parent, any and all claims, rights and benefits of Spinco Companies against any third party thereto arising from any such Contract; provided that neither Party shall be required to make any payment of money or other transfer of value in connection with any such arrangement. In the event Parent shall elect to pay any Consent Fee, Parent shall be solely responsible for such Consent Fee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(a) , in the case of COTS software that is readily available, licensed pursuant to a standard non-negotiable “shrink wrap” or other license agreement and generally has a purchase price of $10,000 or less per copy, instance, seat or user, Parent shall have the sole responsibility for obtaining and shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain license rights to use such software at Parent’s cost and expense, and Spinco shall have no obligation to assign or transfer, or to seek consent for the assignment or transfer of, or to grant any sublicense or other right in connection with, any such COTS software or any Contract related thereto; provided , however, that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of the Transition Services Agreement—Spinco to Parent or Section 11.03 of this Agreement; and provided , further , that upon reasonable request of Parent, Spinco shall provide reasonable assistance to Parent in connection with obtaining such license rights.

(b) Spinco Companies shall promptly pay to Parent when received, all monies received by Spinco Companies under any Contract constituting an Excluded Asset or any claim, right or benefit arising thereunder not transferred to Parent at the Distribution Effective Time as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.04 . Parent shall promptly reimburse Spinco Companies (or pay at the request of Spinco) any Excluded Liabilities not assumed by Parent at the Distribution Effective Time as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.04 , as well as all third party costs and expenses incurred or Damages suffered by Spinco Companies in enforcing any claims, rights and benefits under any Contracts in accordance with Section 2.04(a) .

(c) Without limiting the provisions of this Section 2.04 , (i) this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement of any Spinco Company to Transfer any Third Party Proprietary Information to any Parent Company, and shall not constitute an authorization to use such Third Party Proprietary Information, to the extent such attempted conveyance, transfer or delivery, or such use, without the consent of a third party, would constitute a breach of, or other contravention under, any confidentiality or similar agreement or other Contract to which any Spinco Company is a party. With respect to any such Third Party Proprietary Information, from and after the date hereof, Spinco shall be responsible for obtaining, and shall use commercially

 

7

Without limiting the foregoing, Parent Companies shall, upon request of Spinco or any third party, enter into a proprietary information agreement or other confidentiality or similar agreement with any third party requiring Parent Companies to treat and hold as confidential such Third Party Proprietary Information on terms and conditions that are no less restrictive than the terms and conditions of any confidentiality or similar agreement between Spinco Companies with respect to the Parent Business and any such third parties. To the extent any such consent is not obtained in accordance with the foregoing at or prior to the Distribution Effective Time, then the Parent Companies shall be solely responsible for obtaining such consent at their sole cost and expense.

In the event Parent disputes the correctness of the Proposed Closing Cash or the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount, Parent shall notify Spinco in writing of its objections within 60 days after receipt of Spinco’s Proposed Statement and Spinco’s calculation of the Proposed Closing Cash and the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount, and shall set forth, in writing and in reasonable detail, the reasons for Parent’s objections; provided , however , that such 60-day period shall be tolled for any period during which Spinco shall fail to make available to Parent all books, records, documents and work papers required to be made available to Parent under Section 2.08(d) . If Parent fails to deliver such notice of objections within such time, Parent shall be deemed to have accepted Spinco’s calculation. To the extent Parent does not object within the time period contemplated by this Section 2.08(a) to a matter in the statement of the Proposed Closing Cash or the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount prepared and submitted by Spinco, Parent shall be deemed to have accepted Spinco’s calculation and presentation in respect of the matter and the matter shall not be considered to be in dispute. Parent and Spinco shall endeavor in good faith to resolve any disputed matters within 30 days after Spinco’s receipt of Parent’s notice of objections. If Parent and Spinco are unable to resolve the disputed matters, Parent and Spinco jointly shall, as soon as practicable and in any event within 25 days after the expiration of such 30-day period, engage RSM US LLP (or if RSM US LLP is unwilling or unable to serve, a nationally known independent accounting firm, which firm shall not be the then regular auditors of Parent,Spinco or RMT Partner, that is jointly appointed by the parties within 15 days of the date that RSM US LLP confirms, in writing, that it is unable or unwilling to act as the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm as provided herein) (the firm so engaged, “ Unaffiliated Accounting Firm ”), to resolve the matters in dispute (in a manner consistent with this Section 2.08 ). Promptly after joint engagement of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, Parent and Spinco shall provide the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm with a copy of this Agreement, the Accounting Principles, Spinco’s Proposed Statement, Spinco’s statement of the Proposed Closing Cash and the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount (as applicable) and Parent’s written notice of objections thereto. Each of Parent and Spinco shall deliver to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm and to the other party simultaneously a written submission of its final position with respect to each of the matters in dispute (which position may be different than the position set forth in or contemplated by Spinco’s statement of the Proposed Closing Cash and the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount or Parent’s notice of objections, but may not be

 

10


outside of the range of Spinco’s statement of the Proposed Closing Cash or the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount (as applicable) or Parent’s notice of objections) within 15 days of the engagement of such Unaffiliated Accounting Firm. Each of Parent and Spinco shall thereafter be entitled to submit a rebuttal to the other’s submission, which rebuttals shall be delivered to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm and to the other Party simultaneously within 30 days of the delivery of the Parties’ initial submissions to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm and to each other. The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm may request additional information solely to the extent necessary to resolve the matter in dispute from either Party, but absent such a request neither Party may make (nor permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) any additional submission to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm or otherwise communicate with the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, and in no event shall either Party (i) communicate (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to communicate) with the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm without providing the other Party a reasonable opportunity to participate in such communication or (ii) make (or permit any of its Affiliates or Representatives to make) a written submission to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm unless a copy of such submission is simultaneously provided to the other Party. The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm shall have 30 days following submission of the Parties’ rebuttals to review the documents provided to it pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) and to deliver its written determination, acting as expert and not as arbitrator, with respect to each of the items in dispute submitted to it for resolution, as well as its determination of the balance sheet of the Spinco Business as of the Cut-Off Time, the Net Working Capital of the Spinco Business as the Cut-Off Time and the Closing Cash (as applicable). The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm shall resolve the differences regarding Spinco’s Proposed Statement, the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Proposed Closing Cash based solely on the information provided to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm by the Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and not by independent review. The Unaffiliated Accounting Firm’s authority shall be limited to resolving disputes with respect to whether the individual disputed items on Spinco’s Proposed Statement and Spinco’s statement of the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Proposed Closing Cash were prepared in accordance with the terms of Section 2.08(b) . In resolving each disputed item, the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm shall choose either the value assigned by Parent to such item or the value assigned by Spinco to such item based on the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm’s assessment of which value is most consistent with the Accounting Principles, and may not assign a value for any item other than a value proposed by Parent or Spinco in its respective initial submission to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm. The determination of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm in respect of the correctness of each matter remaining in dispute shall be final, conclusive and binding on Parent and Spinco and not subject to appeal by either of the Parties, and judgment thereof may be entered or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The balance sheet of the Spinco Business as of the Cut-Off Time, and the Net Working Capital of the Spinco Business as of the Cut-Off Time, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) (whether by failure of Parent to deliver notice of objection, by agreement of Parent and Spinco or by determination of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm), are referred to herein as the “ Final Statement ” and the “ Final Net Working Capital Amount ,” respectively. The Closing Cash of the Spinco Business as of the Cut-Off Time, as finally determined pursuant to this Section 2.08(a) (whether by failure of Parent to deliver notice of objection, by agreement of Parent and Spinco or by determination of the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm), is referred to herein as the “ Final Closing Cash .”

(b) The Proposed Statement and the Final Statement shall be prepared, and the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Final Net Working Capital Amount, and the Proposed Closing Cash and the Final Closing Cash, shall be determined, in accordance with the accounting principles, policies, practices and methods described on Attachment III (the “ Accounting Principles ”).

(c) Not later than five Business Days after the determination of the Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Final Closing Cash, a payment by wire transfer in respect thereof shall be made as follows:

(i) If the Final Net Working Capital Amount is greater than $22,000,000, then (x) the amount of such excess, plus (y) the Final Closing Cash, shall be paid to Parent by Spinco;

(ii) If the Final Net Working Capital Amount is less than $12,000,000, then (x) the amount of such deficit minus (y) the Final Closing Cash, shall be paid to Spinco by Parent (it being understood that if the Final Closing Cash is greater than the deficit amount in clause (x), then the difference between the Final Closing Cash minus the deficit amount in clause (x) shall be paid to Parent by Spinco); and

(iii) If the Final Net Working Capital Amount is greater than or equal to $12,000,000 but less than or equal to $22,000,000, then the Final Closing Cash shall be paid to Parent by Spinco.

Any payment pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Spinco Special Cash Payment for Tax purposes and shall be made in immediately available funds by wire transfer to a bank account designated in writing by the Party entitled to receive the payment. Any funds received by Parent pursuant to this Section 2.08(c) shall be maintained in a Segregated Account in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 3.04(b) .

(d) Spinco shall make available to Parent and, if applicable, to the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, all books, records, documents and work papers (subject to, in the case of independent accountant work papers, Parent or the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, as applicable, entering into a customary release agreement with respect thereto) (i) transferred by Parent Companies to Spinco in connection with the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise in the possession of any Spinco Company as of the Closing, or (ii) created or prepared by or for Spinco in connection with the preparation of the Proposed Statement and the calculation of the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Proposed Closing Cash and the other matters contemplated by Section 2.08(a) . Without limiting the foregoing, it is acknowledged and agreed that certain Contracts constituting Transferred Assets may require security clearances or special program accesses, or may contain confidentiality or non-disclosure provisions requiring the specific approval of customers or other Persons for disclosure of the terms thereof (collectively, the “ Undisclosable Contracts ”). Spinco shall use reasonable best efforts to obtain all required security clearances, special program accesses or the approval of customers or other Persons as necessary to allow Parent and, if applicable, the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, to conduct a review of the Undisclosable Contracts to the extent necessary to review and evaluate Spinco’s statement of the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Proposed

Closing Cash. Upon Parent’s receipt of necessary security clearances, special program accesses or approvals of customers or other Persons, as the case may be, Spinco shall permit Parent and its Representatives (including the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, if applicable) to conduct a review of such Undisclosable Contracts, subject to the terms and conditions of the clearances, accesses or approvals and the provisions of Applicable Law. If Spinco is unable to obtain all necessary security clearances, special program accesses or approvals of customers or other Persons to allow disclosure of the Undisclosable Contracts to Parent and the Unaffiliated Accounting Firm, if applicable, then Spinco shall, upon request of Parent, provide a certification of the Chief Financial Officer of Spinco as to the accuracy and completeness of the Proposed Statement and all revenue, costs, earnings, inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other data with respect to such Undisclosable Contracts taken into account in Spinco’s preparation of the Proposed Statement and Spinco’s calculation of the Proposed Final Net Working Capital Amount and the Proposed Closing Cash.

Section 5.05 Privilege and Related Rights .

(a) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services that have been and will be provided prior to the Distribution Effective Time in respect of the Spinco Business have been and will be rendered for the collective benefit of each of the Parent Companies and the Spinco Companies, and that each of the Parent Companies and the Spinco Companies shall be deemed to be the client with respect to such pre-Distribution services for the purposes of asserting any privileges, protections or doctrines that may be asserted under Applicable Law. With respect to such pre-Distribution services, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) Parent Counsel . Each of the parties identified on Schedule 5.05(a) (collectively, the “ Parent Counsel ”) has acted as counsel for the Parent Companies, Spinco and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates in connection with this Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and the Contemplated Transactions (the “ Transaction Engagement ”) and not as counsel for any other Person, including Merger Partner and its Affiliates.

(ii) Transaction Engagement . Only the Parent Companies, Spinco and their respective Subsidiaries and Affiliates shall be considered clients of the Parent Counsel in the Transaction Engagement. Communications, including those constituting or pertaining to legal advice, between any one or more of the Parent Companies, any of their respective Affiliates, Spinco or any of the Spinco Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any of the Parent

 

23


Counsel, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be subject to attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other privileges or protections that belong solely to the Parent Companies and not Spinco or the Spinco Subsidiaries to the extent such communications (or the specific portion thereof) relate to the Transaction Engagement (collectively, the “ Transaction Engagement Communications ”). Accordingly, Merger Partner and Merger Partner Sub shall not have access to the Transaction Engagement Communications, or to any Transaction Engagement Communications in the files of the Parent Counsel, whether or not the Closing shall have occurred. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing, (i) the Parent Companies shall be the sole holders of the attorney-client privilege, work product protection or other privileges or protections with respect to the Transaction Engagement Communications, and none of the Spinco Companies, Merger Partner or Merger Partner Sub shall be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that any Transaction Engagement Communications in the files of the Parent Counsel constitute property of a client, only the Parent Companies shall hold such property rights, and (iii) none of the Parent Counsel shall have any duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Transaction Engagement Communications to the Spinco Companies, Merger Partner or Merger Partner Sub by reason of any attorney-client relationship between any of the Parent Counsel and any of the Spinco Companies or otherwise, unless otherwise directed by a court order or the order of any Governmental Authority.

(b) The Parties recognize that legal and other professional services will be provided following the Distribution Effective Time which will be rendered solely for the benefit of the Parent Companies on the one hand, or Spinco and the other Spinco Companies on the other hand, as the case may be. With respect to such post-Distribution services, the Parties agree as follows:

(i) Parent shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, doctrines or protections in connection with privileged or protected information (including communications by or to lawyers (including attorney client privileged communications), memos and other materials prepared by lawyers or under the direction of a lawyer (including attorney work product) and communications and materials otherwise related to or made or prepared in connection with or in preparation for any legal proceeding) (“ Privileged Information ”) that relates solely to the Parent Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of a Parent Company or a Spinco Company. Parent also shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, doctrines or protections in connection with Privileged Information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Excluded Liabilities, now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against a Parent Company, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of a Parent Company or a Spinco Company; and

(ii) Spinco shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, doctrines or protections in connection with Privileged Information which relates solely to the Spinco Business, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of a Parent Company or a Spinco Company. Spinco also shall be entitled, in perpetuity, to control the assertion or waiver of all privileges, doctrines or protections in connection with Privileged Information that relates solely to the subject matter of any claims constituting Assumed Liabilities (except to the extent a Parent Company, despite the

 

24


provisions of this Agreement, may have liability in respect thereof to any third party, including a Governmental Authority), now pending or which may be asserted in the future, in any lawsuits or other proceedings initiated against or by a Spinco Company, whether or not the Privileged Information is in the possession of or under the control of a Parent Company or a Spinco Company.

(c) The Parties agree that they shall have a shared privilege or protection, with equal right to assert or waive, subject to the restrictions in this Section 5.05 , with respect to all privileges, doctrines or protections not allocated pursuant to the terms of Sections 5.05(a) and 5.05(b) . All privileges relating to any claims, proceedings, litigation, disputes or other matters that involve both a Parent Company and a Spinco Company in respect of which both Parties retain any responsibility or Liability under this Agreement, or otherwise, shall be subject to a shared privilege among them.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.05(e) and Section 5.05(f) , no Party may waive any privilege, doctrine or protection that could be asserted under any Applicable Law and in which the other Party has a shared privilege, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to preserve any privilege or protection held by the other Party if that privilege or protection is a shared privilege or protection or has been allocated to the other Party pursuant to Section 5.05(b) .

(e) In the event of any litigation or dispute between or among the Parties, or any members of their respective Groups, either such Party may waive a privilege or protection in which the other Party or member of such Group has a shared privilege or protection, without obtaining the consent of the other Party; provided , however , that such waiver of a shared privilege or protection shall be effective only as to the use of Privileged Information with respect to the litigation or dispute between the relevant Parties and/or the applicable members of their respective Groups, and shall not operate as a waiver of the shared privilege with respect to third parties.

(f) If a dispute arises between the Parties or their respective Subsidiaries regarding whether a privilege or protection should be waived to protect or advance the interest of either Party, each Party agrees that it shall negotiate in good faith, shall endeavor to minimize any prejudice to the rights of the other Party, and shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay consent to any request for waiver by the other Party. Each Party specifically agrees that it will not withhold, condition or delay consent to waiver for any purpose other than to protect its own legitimate interests.

(g) Upon receipt by either Party or by any Subsidiary thereof of any subpoena, discovery or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of information subject to a shared privilege or protection, or as to which the other Party has the sole right hereunder to assert a privilege or protection, or if either Party obtains knowledge that any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ current or former directors, officers, agents or employees have received any subpoena, discovery or other request that arguably calls for the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information, such Party shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of the request and shall provide the other Party a reasonable opportunity to review the Privileged Information and to assert any rights it or they may have under this Section 5.05 or otherwise to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Information.

 

25


(h) The transfer of all Privileged Information pursuant to this Agreement is made in reliance on the agreement of Parent and Spinco as set forth in Section 5.04 and this Section 5.05 to maintain the confidentiality of Privileged Information and to assert and maintain all applicable privileges, doctrines or protections. Nothing provided for herein or in any other Transaction Document shall be deemed a waiver of any privilege, doctrine or protection that has been or may be asserted under this Agreement or otherwise.

Section 5.06 Other Agreements . Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Article V , the rights and obligations granted under this Article V shall be subject to any specific limitations, qualifications or additional provisions on the sharing, exchange or confidential treatment of data and information set forth in any other Transaction Document.

The failure of an Indemnified Person to provide notice in accordance with this Section 7.03(a) , or any delay in providing such notice, shall not constitute a waiver of that Person’s claims to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.02 , except to the extent that (i) any such failure or delay in giving notice causes the amounts paid or to be paid by the Indemnifying Party to be greater than they otherwise would have been or otherwise results in prejudice to the Indemnifying Party or (ii) such notice is not delivered to the Indemnifying Party prior to the expiration of the applicable survival period set forth in Section 7.01 . If the Indemnified Claim arises from the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any Proceeding, brought by a Person that is not a Parent Company or a Spinco Company (a “ Third Party Claim ”), any such notice to the Indemnifying Party shall be accompanied by a copy of any papers theretofore served on or delivered to the Indemnified Person in connection with such Third Party Claim.

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 7.03 to the contrary, until such time as the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense and control of a Third Party Claim as provided in this Section 7.03 , the Indemnified Person shall have the right to defend such Third Party Claim, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7.03 , in such manner as it may deem appropriate.

The Party conducting the defense thereof shall at all times act as if all Damages relating to the Third Party Claim were for its own account and shall

 

28


act in good faith and with reasonable prudence to minimize Damages therefrom. The Indemnified Person shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, cooperate fully with the Indemnifying Party in connection with any Third Party Claim.

(c) The Indemnifying Party shall be authorized to consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, any Third Party Claims, and the Indemnified Person shall consent to a settlement of, or the entry of any judgment arising from, such Third Party Claims, if (A) such settlement shall not encumber any of the assets of any Indemnified Person or contain any restriction or condition that would apply to such Indemnified Person or to the conduct of that Person’s business, (B) such settlement or entry of judgment does not contain or involve an admission or statement providing for or acknowledging any liability or criminal wrongdoing on behalf of the Indemnified Person or any of its Affiliates, and (C) such settlement contains as a condition thereto, a complete release of the Indemnified Person. No settlement or entry of judgment in respect of any Third Party Claim shall be consented to by any Indemnified Person without the express written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(e) Without limiting the provisions of this Section 7.03 , it is acknowledged and agreed that Parent shall defend and control the Third Party Claims described in Item 5 of Schedule A-16 (the “ ASBCA Matter ”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the provisions of Section 5.02(b) shall apply to the ASBCA Matter. With respect to the Third Party Claim described in Schedule A-17 (the “ MSA Matter ”), the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Spinco Indemnified Parties shall keep Parent reasonably apprised of all developments with respect to such Third Party Claim and all Proceedings relating thereto, including the defense of claims in respect thereof by Mission Support Alliance, LLC, shall consult with Parent regarding any material developments and decisions in the defense of the MSA Matter and shall consider in good faith the views of Parent in respect of the MSA Matter. Neither Spinco nor any Spinco Indemnified Party shall consent or agree to any settlement or entry of judgment with respect to the MSA Matter (including through any approval of or consent to any action of the MSA joint venture) without the express written consent of Parent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
