Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 23, 2018, Henry Schein, Inc. (the “ Company ”) announced that it had entered into definitive agreements with HS Spinco, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“ Spinco ”), and Direct Vet Marketing, Inc. (d/b/a Vets First Choice), a Delaware corporation (“ DVM ”), as part of a Reverse Morris Trust transaction pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in certain definitive agreements described below, (i) the Company will contribute the assets and entities comprising its animal health business (the “ Spinco Business ”) to Spinco, (ii) in exchange for the contribution to Spinco of the Spinco Business, Spinco will issue to the Company shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Spinco (the “ Spinco Common Stock ”), (iii) Spinco will pay to the Company the Special Dividend (as defined below), the Additional Special Dividend (if applicable) (as defined below), and the Intercompany Debt Repayment (as defined below), (iv) the Company will subsequently distribute to its stockholders all of the shares of Spinco Common Stock held by the Company (the “ Distribution ”), and (v) immediately after the Distribution, HS Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Spinco (“ Merger Sub ”), will merge with and into DVM (the “ Merger ”), with DVM surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Spinco (collectively, the “ Transactions ”). Upon consummation of the Transactions, on a fully-diluted basis, the stockholders of the Company will own approximately 63% of the outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock and the then former stockholders of DVM will own approximately 37% of the outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.

The definitive agreements entered into by the parties include (i) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ Merger Agreement ”), dated as of April 20, 2018, by and among the Company, Spinco, Merger Sub, DVM and Shareholder Representative Services LLC, a Colorado limited liability company, solely in its capacity as the representative of the DVM stockholders (the “ DVM Stockholder Representative ”), (ii) a Contribution and Distribution Agreement (the “ Distribution Agreement ”), dated as of April 20, 2018, by and among the Company, Spinco, DVM and, solely for the purposes of certain articles set forth therein, the DVM Stockholder Representative, and (iii) an Employee Matters Agreement (the “ Employee Matters Agreement ”), dated as of April 20, 2018, by and among the Company, Spinco and DVM.

In connection with the Transactions, the Company, Spinco, DVM and, in some cases, the DVM Stockholder Representative, will be entering into additional agreements, including:

 

    a Tax Matters Agreement, which will govern the respective rights, responsibilities and obligations of the Company, Spinco and DVM after the consummation of the Transactions with respect to tax liabilities, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, tax contests, preservation of the intended tax treatment of the transactions and certain other tax matters; and

 

    a Transition Services Agreement, pursuant to which the Company will provide certain services to Spinco, and Spinco will provide certain services to the Company, that are in each case transitional in nature, for a specified period of time following the Distribution.

Distribution Agreement

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Company will contribute the Spinco Business to Spinco and will subsequently separate Spinco from the Company in a spin-off by distributing to its stockholders all of the shares of Spinco Common Stock held by the Company.

In order to effect these transactions, the Company will engage in a series of preliminary restructuring transactions that will result in, subject to certain exceptions, (i) the transfer to Spinco and its subsidiaries of all assets that primarily relate to the Spinco Business, (ii) the transfer to and assumption by Spinco and its subsidiaries of certain liabilities of the Company and its subsidiaries relating to the Spinco Business, and (iii) the contribution by the Company to Spinco of all of the ownership interests held by the Company in certain subsidiaries of the Company engaged in the Spinco Business. On the date of the Distribution, each stockholder of the Company holding shares of Company Common Stock, as of a record date to be determined by the Company’s board of directors, will be entitled to receive, in respect of each such share, a pro rata portion of the aggregate number of shares of Spinco Common Stock held by the Company as of the time of the Distribution.

Prior to the Distribution, the Company will receive from Spinco (i) a payment of a special dividend in an amount as determined by the Company in its reasonable discretion (the “ Special Dividend ”); provided however, the sum of the Special Dividend and the amount of the Intercompany Debt Repayment (as defined below), will in no event be greater than $1,200,000,000, and (ii) in certain specified circumstances, an additional cash dividend in an amount up to $50,000,000 (the “ Additional Special Dividend ”). The Special Dividend and the Additional Special Dividend (if applicable) are expected to be, in each case, funded with a portion of the proceeds of the Spinco Financing (as defined below) and cash of the Spinco Business.

 

2


The Distribution Agreement provides that the Distribution is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others, (i) the payment of the Special Dividend and the Additional Special Dividend, if applicable, to the Company and the effectuation of the Intercompany Debt Repayment, (ii) the procurement by Spinco of certain material licenses and permits necessary to operate the Spinco Business following the Effective Time, if the failure to obtain any such material licenses or permits would cause a condition to DVM’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied, and (iii) the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Distribution Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Distribution Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Merger Agreement

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into DVM, with DVM as the surviving corporation (the “ Surviving Corporation ”). As a result of the Merger, DVM will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Spinco. The Merger will occur immediately following the Distribution. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of DVM common stock will be converted into the right to receive a certain number of shares of Spinco Common Stock, such that, upon consummation of the Merger, on a fully-diluted basis, the stockholders of the Company will own approximately 63%, and the former stockholders of DVM will own approximately 37%, of the outstanding shares of Spinco Common Stock, subject to certain adjustments.

The consummation of the Merger is subject to certain customary conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the Merger by the requisite vote of DVM’s stockholders; (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated by and in accordance with the Distribution Agreement; (iii) the effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and the approval for listing on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or such other stock exchange as mutually agreed to by the parties) of the Spinco Common Stock to be distributed in the Distribution and issued in the Merger; (iv) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended; (v) the Special Dividend and, if applicable, the Additional Special Dividend, having been paid to the Company and the repayment of certain outstanding intercompany debt owed by Spinco and its subsidiaries to the Company and its subsidiaries (the “ Intercompany Debt Repayment ”); (vi) the Company board of directors’ receipt of a solvency and surplus opinion of a nationally recognized investment banking or appraisal firm; (vii) no “material adverse effect” having occurred with respect to DVM or Spinco, as defined in the Merger Agreement; (viii) subject to certain exceptions, the accuracy of representations and warranties; and (ix) receipt of customary tax opinions from counsel.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants, including, among others, covenants providing that (i) the Company and Spinco will conduct the Spinco Business, and DVM will conduct its business, in the ordinary course, between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the consummation of the Merger, (ii) the parties will use their reasonable best efforts to obtain required regulatory approvals, (iii) the parties will not solicit any employee of the other party, subject to customary exceptions, for 18 months after the closing of the Merger and (iv) the Company will not, subject to certain customary exceptions, engage in a business that competes with certain aspects of the Spinco Business for a period of three years after the closing of the Merger. Each party is also subject to restrictions on its ability to solicit alternative acquisition proposals with respect to the Spinco Business and DVM’s business, respectively.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and DVM, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the Merger does not occur within 15 months after the date of the Agreement and the right of the Company to terminate the Merger Agreement if the required approvals from DVM stockholders are not obtained.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 2.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Merger Agreement and the above description thereof have been included to provide investors and stockholders with information regarding the terms of the agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about the Company, Spinco or DVM or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or stockholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of the Merger Agreement as of the specific dates therein, were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement (subject to certain exceptions), may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants or any descriptions thereof as characterizations of the actual state of facts or condition of the parties thereto or any of their respective subsidiaries or affiliates. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of

 

3


the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about the Company and its subsidiaries that it includes in reports, statements and other filings it makes with the SEC.

Employee Matters Agreement

The Employee Matters Agreement governs the allocation of assets and liabilities with respect to certain employee compensation and benefit plans and programs, and responsibilities relating to other employment matters related to the Transactions.

The Employee Matters Agreement provides that Spinco and its subsidiaries generally will be responsible for liabilities associated with active employees who serve in a role that is primarily or exclusively dedicated to supporting the Spinco Business as well as former employees of Spinco and its subsidiaries (“ Spinco Employees ”), and the Company and its subsidiaries (other than Spinco and its subsidiaries) generally will retain liabilities incurred under any and all benefit plans sponsored, maintained or contributed by the Company or its subsidiaries immediately prior to the Distribution with respect to (i) active and former employees of the Company and its subsidiaries other than Spinco Employees, and (ii) a small number of employees of the Company who will be transferred to Spinco (but solely with respect to the time period prior to the Distribution).

Pursuant to the Employee Matters Agreement, Company equity awards granted to Spinco Employees pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, that are scheduled to vest after the closing of the Merger will be assumed by Spinco and converted into awards relating to Spinco Common Stock, with any performance-based awards vesting with respect to the period prior to the closing of the Merger based on actual performance through the closing of the Merger, subject to time-vesting requirements.

The foregoing description of the Employee Matters Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Employee Matters Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Debt Financing

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Spinco will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and consummate a debt financing in an aggregate principal amount of at least $900,000,000 and no more than $1,200,000,000 (provided that such amount may be increased by the amount of the Additional Special Dividend) to fund the Special Dividend and, if applicable, the Additional Special Dividend, to effectuate the Intercompany Debt Repayment and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “ Spinco Financing ”), on mutually acceptable terms. The Company and DVM will use their respective reasonable best efforts to assist Spinco in arranging such financing.

Put Rights Amendment

In connection with the Transactions, the Company entered into an amendment to the Put Rights Agreement (the “ Put Rights Amendment ”), dated as of April 20, 2018, together with Darby Group Companies, Inc. (“ Darby ”), successor by merger to Burns Veterinary Supply, Inc., Butler Animal Health Holding Company, LLC (“ BAHHC ”) and the other individuals who are signatories thereto (such other individuals, collectively with Darby, the “ Darby Sellers ”), which amended the Put Rights Agreement, dated December 31, 2009, as amended, by and among the Company, Darby and BAHHC. Pursuant to the Put Rights Amendment, the Darby Sellers have agreed to sell to the Company all of the BAHHC equity interests owned by Darby and the BAHHC equity interests owned indirectly by the other Darby Sellers for an aggregate purchase price of $365,000,000. The Put Rights Amendment provides that the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Put Rights Amendment will occur no later than 90 days after the date that the Company entered into the Merger Agreement and the Distribution Agreement.

The foregoing description of the Put Rights Amendment, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Put Rights Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, at or prior to the Distribution Time:

(i)    Harbor shall, or shall cause the applicable member of the Harbor Group to, transfer, assign, deliver and convey to Spinco or the applicable Spinco Subsidiary all of their right, title and interest in and to the Spinco Assets other than the capital stock of, or other equity interests in, a Spinco Subsidiary;

(c)    For the avoidance of doubt, Harbor may effect the Restructuring in any form or manner that it deems necessary or desirable, so long as (i) immediately prior to the Distribution, all of the Spinco Assets and Spinco Liabilities, and no other Assets or Liabilities, are held by Spinco or one or more Spinco Subsidiaries (other than any Delayed Transfer Assets or Delayed Transfer Liabilities) and (ii) any such change would not (A) be inconsistent with the intended Tax-Free Status of the spin-off and Merger contemplated by the Transaction Agreements or compromise the ability to obtain the Spin-Off Tax Opinion or (B) cause any member of the Spinco Group to own or hold or otherwise incur Liability in

 

18


respect of any Excluded Liability (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, Taxes), unless Harbor agrees to fully indemnify, such member of the Spinco Group for such Liability. References in this Agreement to the “Restructuring” shall be deemed to refer to the Restructuring as so effected by Harbor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Harbor shall consult in good faith with Voyager regarding the material aspects of the structure of the Harbor Contribution and the form and manner of the Restructuring.

(f)    The Parties acknowledge and agree that as between the Harbor Group and the Spinco Group, on the one hand, and any third Person asserting a Liability against a member of the Harbor Group or the Spinco Group, on the other hand, nothing in this Agreement shall alter or otherwise change the legal entity within the Harbor Group and the Spinco Group that may be subject to such Liability and the Harbor Group shall retain and be responsible for the Excluded Liabilities.

Section 2.2     Transfers Requiring Consent or Governmental Approval .

(a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an agreement to assign, directly or indirectly, any Asset or assume any Liability if, but solely to the extent, an attempted direct or indirect assignment or assumption thereof, without any applicable Consent of a third party or approval of a Governmental Authority, would constitute a breach, default, violation or other contravention of the rights of such third party or Governmental Authority or of applicable Law (including any Privacy and Information Security Requirements) until such time as the necessary Consent or approval or waiver thereof is obtained. If any direct or indirect transfer, assignment, or assumption, as the case may be, in the case of any Spinco Asset or Spinco Liability, by any member of the Harbor Group to any member of the Spinco Group or, in the case of any Excluded Asset or Excluded Liability, by any member of the Spinco Group to any member of the Harbor Group requires the Consent of a third party or approval of a Governmental Authority, then such transfer or assignment or assumption shall be made subject to such Consent of a third party or approval of a Governmental Authority or waiver

(c)    If any third-party Consent or approval of a Governmental Authority referred to in this Section 2.2 is not obtained on or prior to the Distribution Date, the Distribution shall, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE III, nonetheless take place on the terms set forth herein and, thereafter, Harbor and Spinco shall cooperate and use reasonable best efforts to establish arrangements at no charge to Spinco under which, from and following the Distribution Date, the Spinco Group or Harbor Group to which the Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability was not transferred, as applicable, shall (without infringing upon the legal rights of any third party or Governmental Authority or violating any applicable Law) (i) receive, from the party responsible for transferring such Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability, the economic benefit of such Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability, including, without limitation, the right to obtain the economic claims, rights and benefits under the Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability and (ii) assume the economic burden with respect Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability, in each case, as closely as possible to that which would be applicable to such Spinco Group or Harbor Group, as applicable, if the Consent or approval had been obtained and the Delayed Transfer Asset or Delayed Transfer Liability had transferred. In furtherance of the foregoing, Harbor shall cause any applicable Harbor Subsidiary to execute such powers of attorney as are permitted under applicable Law and reasonably requested by any Spinco Group Entity to enable it to obtain the benefits under any permit (x) that constitutes a Delayed Transfer Asset or (y) with respect to which independent registration or licensure is required to be effected by a Spinco Group Entity following the Effective Time.

(d)    Following the Distribution Date, each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, use reasonable best efforts (and each Party shall, and shall cause its respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the other Party) to obtain any third-party Consents and/or approvals of Governmental Authorities referred to in this Section 2.2 which were not obtained prior to the Distribution as promptly as practicable; provided , that, in connection with obtaining any such third-party Consent or approval of a Governmental Authority, neither Harbor nor Spinco shall enter into or otherwise agree to any modification of the terms of any Contract that is required in order to effect the transactions contemplated herein that would adversely affect Spinco or Harbor or any other member of either Group (including due to an increase in payment or other incremental cost to any member of either Group under such Contract) without the prior written consent of Spinco, in the case that a member of the Spinco Group would be adversely affected, or Harbor, in the case that a member of the Harbor Group would be adversely affected, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. If and when any such third-party Consent or approval of a Governmental Authority is obtained after the Distribution, the assignment of the Delayed Transfer Asset or assumption of the Delayed Transfer Liability to which such third-party Consent or approval of a Governmental Authority relates shall be

 

20


promptly effected in accordance with the terms of this Agreement without the payment of additional consideration and thereafter such Asset or Liability shall no longer be considered a Delayed Transfer Asset or a Delayed Transfer Liability, as applicable, for purposes of this Section 2.2. The obligations to use reasonable best efforts to obtain any third party Consent or approval of any Governmental Authority set forth this paragraph (d) shall terminate on the date that is twenty four (24) months following the Distribution Date; provided , however , that such termination shall not affect the other provisions of this Section 2.2.

(b)    On or prior to the Distribution Date, Spinco and Harbor shall cause Spinco’s certificate of incorporation and by-laws to be amended and restated, in forms mutually satisfactory to the Parties.

Harbor, Spinco, Voyager and the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative acknowledge and agree that the conversion set forth in the preceding sentence in lieu of issuing fractional shares of Spinco Common Stock was not separately bargained-for consideration but merely represents a mechanical rounding off for purposes of avoiding the expense and inconvenience to Spinco that would otherwise be caused by the issuance of fractional shares of Spinco Common Stock.

ARTICLE V

POST-CLOSING ADJUSTMENT

Section 5.1     Post-Closing Adjustment .

(a)    Within ninety (90) days following the Distribution Date, Spinco shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Harbor a certificate endorsed by an executive officer of Spinco certifying a statement (the “ Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement ”) setting forth Spinco’s good faith calculation of (i) the Spinco Working Capital Adjustment and (ii) the Spinco Net Debt Adjustment, including reasonable detail regarding the calculations thereof. The Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with the Applicable Accounting Principles.

(b)    During the forty-five (45) day period following Harbor’s receipt of the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement, Spinco shall give Harbor, and each of its Representatives access at all reasonable times and on reasonable advance notice to the books, records, properties, working papers and personnel of Spinco (including senior finance and accounting personnel and their accountants) to the extent reasonably required to permit Harbor to evaluate the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement. Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement, Harbor may, in a

 

26


written notice to Spinco, describe in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to the items set forth on the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement and the reasons therefor (it being agreed that the only permitted reasons for such adjustments shall be mathematical error or the failure to compute items set forth therein in accordance with this Agreement). If Spinco shall not have received a notice of proposed adjustments within such forty-five (45)-day period, Harbor will be deemed to have accepted irrevocably the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement.

(c)    Harbor and Spinco shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes over any proposed adjustments to the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement, during the thirty (30) days following Spinco’s receipt of the proposed adjustments. If Harbor and Spinco are unable to resolve such dispute within such thirty (30)-day period, then, at the written request of either such Party (the “ Dispute Resolution Request ”), each such Party shall appoint a knowledgeable, responsible representative to meet in person and negotiate in good faith to resolve the disputed matters. The Parties intend that these negotiations be conducted by experienced business representatives empowered to decide the issues. Such negotiations shall take place during the thirty (30)-day period following the date of the Dispute Resolution Request. If the business representatives resolve the dispute, such resolution shall be memorialized in a written agreement (the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement, as agreed to pursuant to the last sentence of Section 5.1(b) or as revised by such negotiations, written agreement or the final decision of the accounting firm referred to below, the “ Spinco Final Closing Statement ”). If the business representatives do not resolve the dispute during the periods described above, then Spinco, the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative and Harbor shall jointly engage KPMG LLP to arbitrate and resolve such disputes, which resolution shall be final, binding and enforceable in accordance with Section 10.15. If KPMG LLP is unable or unwilling to act as arbitrator, a nationally recognized accounting firm shall be selected by lot from the remaining nationally recognized accounting firms that are not the regular independent auditor firm of Harbor, Spinco or Voyager, and in such event references herein to “KPMG LLP” shall be deemed to refer to such replacement accounting firm. Within the thirty (30)-day period following its engagement, KPMG LLP shall arbitrate and resolve such dispute based solely on the written submission provided by Harbor and Spinco and shall only consider whether the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement (and each component thereof) was prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (only with respect to disputed matters submitted to the accounting firm) whether and to what extent the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement requires adjustment. In resolving any disputed matter, KPMG LLP shall (i) adhere to the definitions contained in this Agreement and the guidelines and principles of this Section 5.1 and (ii) not assign a value to any item higher than the highest value for such item claimed by either of Harbor or Spinco or lower than the lowest value claimed by either such Person; provided , however , that to the extent the determination of value of any disputed item affects any other item used in calculating the Spinco Working Capital Adjustment or the Spinco Net Debt Adjustment, such effect may be taken into account by KPMG LLP. The fees and expenses of KPMG LLP shall be shared by Spinco and Harbor in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the disputed amount determined in favor of Spinco and Harbor, respectively.

(d)    Upon final determination of the Spinco Final Closing Statement pursuant to this Section 5.1, the following payments (if any) shall be made in accordance with Section 5.1(e):

(i)    If the Adjustment Amount is positive, Spinco shall pay to Harbor the lesser of (A) $150,000,000 (less all amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Tax Matters Agreement in respect of Harbor Pre-Closing Taxes) and (B) the Adjustment Amount; and

(ii)    If Adjustment Amount is negative, Harbor shall pay to Spinco the lesser of (A) $150,000,000 (less all amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section 3.01 of the Tax Matters Agreement in respect of Harbor Pre-Closing Taxes) and (b) the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount; and

 

27


(iii)    If the Adjustment Amount is zero, no payment by any Party shall be due.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment under this Section 5.1 shall be made to the extent the effect of such adjustment would reasonably be expected to result in Harbor Stockholders owning fifty percent (50%) or less of the shares of Spinco Common Stock on or after the Effective Time or otherwise result in a Tax Free Transaction Failure.

(e)    Any amount payable pursuant to Section 5.1(d) shall be made via wire transfer of immediately available funds within five (5) Business Days after the date upon which the Spinco Preliminary Closing Statement becomes a Spinco Final Closing Statement. Any payment (or portion thereof) pursuant to Section 5.1(d) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Special Dividend and/or the Additional Special Dividend (if applicable) for Tax purposes, to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

Section 6.4     Procedures for Indemnification of Third-Party Claims .

(a)    Harbor shall, and shall cause the other Harbor Indemnitees to, notify Spinco in writing reasonably promptly after learning of any Third-Party Claim for which any Harbor Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification from Spinco under this Agreement. Spinco shall, and shall cause the other Spinco Indemnitees to, notify Harbor in writing reasonably promptly after learning of any Third-Party Claim for which any Spinco Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification from Harbor under this Agreement. The failure of any Indemnitee to give such notice shall not relieve any Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this ARTICLE VI, except to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. Such notice shall (i) describe such Third-Party Claim in reasonable detail considering the information provided to the Indemnitee, (ii) indicate, to the extent determinable, the estimated amount of the Indemnifiable Loss that has been claimed against or may be

 

30


sustained by such Indemnitee and the nature of the claim, and (iii) contain a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises.

(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.4(c), an Indemnifying Party may, by notice to the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after receipt by such Indemnifying Party of such Indemnitee’s notice of a Third-Party Claim, undertake (itself or through another member of the Group of which the Indemnifying Party is a member) the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee; provided that the Indemnitee shall be entitled to have sole control over the defense and settlement of any Third-Party Claim (i) seeking an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnitee, (ii) involving any criminal or quasi-criminal Litigation Matter, allegation or indictment to which the Indemnitee is a party, (iii) which the Indemnifying Party has failed or, in the reasonable determination of the Indemnitee, is failing to defend or otherwise prosecute diligently, or (iv) involving a material supplier, material customer or other material business relationship of the Indemnitee or any of its Affiliates, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii), at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party. If an Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense of any Third-Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall control the investigation and defense or settlement thereof, and the Indemnitee may not settle or compromise such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall not (x) require any Indemnitee, without its prior written consent, to take or refrain from taking any action in connection with such Third-Party Claim, or make any public statement or refrain from doing so, that would be in violation of Law, or (y) without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee and of Harbor, if the Indemnitee is a Harbor Indemnitee, or the Indemnitee and of Spinco, if the Indemnitee is a Spinco Indemnitee, consent to any settlement that does not include as a part thereof an unconditional release of the relevant Indemnitees from Liability with respect to such Third-Party Claim or that requires the Indemnitee or any of its Representatives or Affiliates to make any payment that is not fully indemnified by the Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or to be subject to any non-monetary remedy. Subject to the Indemnifying Party’s control rights, as specified herein, the Indemnitees may participate in such investigation and defense, at their own expense. Following the provision of notices to the Indemnifying Party, until such time as an Indemnifying Party has undertaken the defense of any Third-Party Claim as provided herein, such Indemnitee shall control the investigation and defense or settlement thereof, without prejudice to its right to seek indemnification hereunder and any fees and expenses of the Indemnitee that are incurred in connection therewith prior to the date the Indemnifying Party has undertaken the defense shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party.

(c)    If an Indemnitee reasonably determines that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to its Indemnifying Party which make it inappropriate for the Indemnifying Party to undertake the defense or settlement thereof, then such Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to undertake the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim, and counsel for the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such Indemnifying Party and counsel for the Indemnitee (selected by the Indemnitee) shall be entitled to conduct the defense of such Indemnitee, in which case the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnitee (but not more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to reasonably necessary local counsel(s), if any) reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party) shall be paid by such Indemnifying Party, it being understood that both such counsel shall cooperate with each other to conduct the defense or settlement of such Third-Party Claim as efficiently as possible.

(d)    In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys for all Indemnitees (in addition to reasonably necessary local counsel(s) and its own counsel, if any) in connection with any one Litigation Matter, or separate but similar or related Litigation Matters, in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances.

 

31


(e)    If the Indemnifying Party undertakes the defense or settlement of a Third-Party Claim, (x) the Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee reasonably informed of the status of, and all material developments related to or in connection with, such Third-Party Claim and shall provide the Indemnitee with reasonable access to all written, and summaries of all oral, correspondence, drafts of settlements agreements, court filings and all other notices and documents received or transmitted by the Indemnifying Party relating to such Third-Party Claim and (y) the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party and its counsel all information and documents reasonably available to it which relate to any Third-Party Claim, and otherwise cooperate, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement. In the event the Indemnitee is undertaking the defense or settlement of a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall make available to the Indemnitee and its counsel all information and documents reasonably available to it which relate to any Third-Party Claim, and otherwise cooperate as may reasonably be required in connection with the investigation, defense and settlement thereof, subject to the terms and conditions of a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement.

Section 6.5     Reductions for Insurance Proceeds . The amount that any Indemnifying Party is or may be required to pay to any Indemnitee pursuant to this ARTICLE VI shall be reduced (retroactively or prospectively, as applicable) by any insurance proceeds in respect of the related Indemnifiable Losses (net of all costs of recovery, including deductibles, co-payments or other payment obligations (excluding premiums)) solely to the extent actually received by the Indemnitee. The existence of a claim or a potential claim by an Indemnitee for insurance in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss shall not, however, delay or reduce any payment pursuant to the indemnification provisions contained herein and otherwise determined to be due and owing by an Indemnifying Party. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the Parties hereto that no insurer shall be (x) entitled to a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the foregoing indemnification provisions or (y) relieved of the responsibility to pay any claims for which it is obligated. If an Indemnitee shall have received the payment required by this Agreement from an Indemnifying Party in respect of any Indemnifiable Losses and shall subsequently actually receive insurance proceeds in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses, then such Indemnitee shall hold such insurance proceeds in trust for the benefit of such Indemnifying Party and shall pay to such Indemnifying Party a sum equal to the amount of such insurance proceeds actually received (net of all costs of recovery, including deductibles, co-payments or other payment obligations and without interest), up to the aggregate amount of any payments received from such Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement in respect of such Indemnifiable Losses.

Section 6.6     Direct Claims . Any claim on account of an Indemnifiable Loss that does not result from a Third-Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnitee to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30)-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have refused to accept responsibility to make such payment. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond in such thirty (30)-day period or rejects such claim in whole or in part, the Indemnitee shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such party as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements.

Section 6.7     Joint Defense and Cooperation . With respect to any Third-Party Claim in which both Harbor and Spinco are, or reasonably may be expected to be, named as parties, or that otherwise implicates both Harbor and Spinco in a material fashion, the Parties shall reasonably cooperate with respect to such Third-Party Claim and if the Parties agree, maintain a joint defense in a manner that will preserve applicable privileges.

For the avoidance of doubt, Harbor shall retain all rights to control its Policies, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its Policies notwithstanding whether any such Policies apply to any Liabilities of any member of the Spinco Group, and this Agreement is not intended as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Harbor Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance. Spinco shall be responsible for securing all insurance policies that it considers appropriate for the Spinco Business and the operation thereof by the Spinco Group and for promptly providing evidence thereof, as may be required, to third parties under any Contract.

(c)    In the event that after the Distribution Date, Harbor or any Harbor Subsidiary proposes to amend, commute, terminate, buy-out, extinguish liability under or otherwise modify any Policies under which Spinco has rights to assert claims pursuant to Section 7.4(a) in a manner that would adversely affect to a material degree any such rights of the Spinco Group, Harbor will (i) give Spinco prior written

 

35


notice thereof (it being understood that the decision to take any such action will be in the sole discretion of Harbor) and (ii) pay to Spinco its equitable share (which shall be determined by Harbor and Spinco in good faith based on the amount of premiums paid or allocated to the Spinco Business in respect of the applicable Policy) of any net proceeds actually received by Harbor from the insurer under the applicable Policy as a result of such action by Harbor (after deducting Harbor’s reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action).

(d)    This Agreement is not intended as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the Harbor Group in respect of any insurance policy or any other contract or policy of insurance.

(e)    Harbor’s obligation to use its reasonable best efforts to assist the Spinco Group in asserting claims under applicable Policies will include using reasonable best efforts in assisting Spinco to establish its right to coverage under such Policies (including, submitting such claim on behalf of the Spinco Group, acting as the direct contact with the applicable insurer and using its reasonable best efforts to obtain the written consent of each of its insurance companies, in each case, as necessary or reasonably requested by the Spinco Group in connection with the exercise of its rights under this Section 7.4). Harbor agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to recover Losses or to assist Spinco in connection with any efforts by the Spinco Group to recover Losses, as the case may be, under any Policy with respect to the Spinco Business for incidents occurring prior to the Distribution Date; provided that all of Harbor’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing are promptly paid by Spinco and it being agreed that Harbor will not incur material expenditures above reasonable amounts specified by Spinco unless authorized by Spinco.

(f)    Except as otherwise agreed under Section 6.11 of the Merger Agreement, if an extended reporting period for any Claims Made Policies issued by any third-party insurer is available for Harbor to purchase for insured incidents occurring prior to the Distribution, Harbor will give Spinco prompt written notice thereof, which notice shall include a summary of the terms under which such extended reporting period can be purchased, and Spinco shall have twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of such notice to request that such extended reporting period be purchased. Unless Harbor receives such a request from Spinco during such twenty (20)-Business Day period, Harbor shall not cause to be purchased an extended reporting period with respect to such insurance for the benefit of Spinco and the Spinco Subsidiaries as insureds and Harbor shall have no further responsibility with respect to any extended reporting period with respect to such insurance.

(g)    The obligations of Harbor and its Subsidiaries under this Section 7.4 shall terminate on the date that is fifteen (15) months after the Effective Time.

(h)    Nothing in this Section 7.4 will be construed to limit or otherwise alter in any way the indemnity obligations of the Parties to this Agreement, including those created by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, by operation of Law or otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, without limiting any obligations under the Employee Matters Agreement, this Section 7.4 is not intended to create any obligation of any Party in respect of any Policy maintained by any member of the Harbor Group to satisfy claims for benefits under any Spinco Benefit Plans.

Section 7.5     Further Assurances . In addition to the actions specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, the Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws, regulations and agreements to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Agreements (including all actions contemplated to be taken from time to time after the Distribution Date, which shall be taken at the expense of the Party

conditioned or delayed and shall not be withheld, conditioned or delayed if the other Party certifies that such disclosure is to be made in response to a likely threat of suspension or debarment or similar action; provided , that Spinco and Harbor shall not be required to give any such notice or obtain any such consent and may make such disclosure or waiver with respect to Privileged Information if such Privileged Information relates solely to the pre-Distribution Spinco Business or Harbor Business, respectively. In the event of a disagreement between any member of the Harbor Group and any member of the Spinco Group concerning the reasonableness of withholding such consent, no disclosure shall be made prior to a resolution of such disagreement by a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the limitations in this sentence shall not apply in the case of disclosure required by Law and so certified as provided in the first sentence of this paragraph.

(c)    Upon any member of the Harbor Group or any member of the Spinco Group receiving any subpoena or other compulsory disclosure notice from a court or other Governmental Authority which requests disclosure of Privileged Information, in each case relating to pre-Distribution Spinco Business or Harbor Business, as applicable, or, in the case of the Spinco Group, relating to or arising in connection with the relationship among Harbor and its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Distribution Date, the recipient of the notice shall (to the extent consent is required in connection with the disclosure of such Privileged Information under paragraph (b) of this Section) as promptly as practicable provide to the other Group (following the notice provisions set forth herein) a copy of such notice, the intended response, and all materials or information relating to the other Group that might be disclosed and the proposed date of disclosure. In the event of a disagreement as to the intended response or disclosure, unless and until the disagreement is resolved as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section, the Parties shall cooperate to assert all defenses to disclosure claimed by either such Party’s Group, and shall not disclose any disputed documents or information until all legal defenses and claims of privilege have been finally determined, except as otherwise required by a court order requiring such disclosure.

(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 8.2 shall not apply to Information referred to in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.1(c).

Section 8.3     Production of Witnesses . Subject to Section 8.2, after the Distribution Date, each of Harbor and Spinco shall, and shall cause each member of its Group to, use its reasonable best efforts to make available to Spinco or Harbor or any member of the Spinco Group or of the Harbor Group, as the case may be, upon reasonable prior written request, such Group’s directors, managers or other persons acting in a similar capacity, officers, employees and agents as witnesses to the extent that any such Person may reasonably be required in connection with any Litigation Matters, administrative or other proceedings in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved and relating to the pre-Distribution Spinco Business or the Harbor Business, as applicable, or, in the case of the Spinco Group, relating to or in connection with the relationship among Harbor and its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Distribution Date. The out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in the provision of such witnesses (which shall not include the costs of salaries and benefits of employees who are witnesses or any pro rata portion of overhead or other costs of employing such employees which would have been incurred by such employees’ employer regardless of the employees’ service as witnesses) shall be paid by the Party requesting the availability of such persons; provided , the out of pocket costs and expenses incurred in the provision of such witnesses to the Spinco Group (including a reasonable internal cost allocation) shall be paid for by Spinco. In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 8.3, the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege, work product immunity or other applicable privileges or immunities of any member of any Group.

Section 8.4     Retention of Information . Except as otherwise agreed in writing, or as otherwise provided in the other Transaction Agreements, each of Harbor and Spinco shall, and shall cause each

 

42


member of its Group to, retain all Information (including any Confidential Information) in such Party’s Group’s possession or under its control, relating directly to the pre-Distribution business, Assets or Liabilities of the other Party’s Group (such information “ Retained Information ”) for so long as such Information is required to be retained pursuant to such Party’s ordinary course document retention policies as of such time or such later date as may be required by Law (including any Privacy and Information Security Requirements), except that if, prior to the expiration of such period, any member of either Party’s Group wishes to destroy or dispose of any such Retained Information that is at least five (5) years old, prior to destroying or disposing of any of such Retained Information, (a) the Party whose Group is proposing to dispose of or destroy any such Retained Information shall provide no less than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party, specifying the Retained Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of, and (b) if, prior to the scheduled date for such destruction or disposal, the other Party requests in writing that any of the Retained Information proposed to be destroyed or disposed of be delivered to such other Party, the Party whose Group is proposing to dispose of or destroy such Retained Information promptly shall arrange for the delivery of the requested Retained Information to a location specified by, and at the expense of, the requesting Party. This Section 8.4 shall not apply to Information referred to in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.1(c).

Section 8.5     Confidentiality .

(a)    The Parties acknowledge that in connection with the Transactions, the Parties have disclosed and will continue to disclose to each other Information, including Confidential Information.

(b)    Subject to Section 8.2, which shall govern Privileged Information, from and after the Distribution Date, the Parties shall hold, and shall cause each of their respective controlled Affiliates to hold, and each of the foregoing shall cause their respective Representatives to hold, in strict confidence, and not to disclose to any other Person (including without limitation by issuing a press release or otherwise making any public statement), use, for any purpose other than as expressly permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements, without the prior written consent of the other Party, any and all Confidential Information concerning the other Party or such Party’s Subsidiaries; provided , that the Parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (i) to their respective Representatives who have a need to know such information for auditing and other non-commercial purposes and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the Parties and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, the applicable Party will be responsible, (ii) if the Parties or any of their respective controlled Affiliates are requested or required to disclose any such Confidential Information by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or other documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or any other similar process, or by other requirements of Law or stock exchange rule, (iii) as required in connection with any legal or other proceeding by one Party against any other Party, or (iv) as necessary in order to permit a Party to prepare and disclose its financial statements, or other required disclosures required by Law or such applicable stock exchange. Spinco and Harbor further agree to use reasonable best efforts (and to cause each of their respective controlled Affiliates to use reasonable best efforts) to safeguard such Confidential Information and to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Party subject to such demand or request, as applicable, shall provide the other with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the other Party has an opportunity to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, which such Parties will cooperate in obtaining. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the Party whose Confidential Information is required to

 

43


be disclosed shall or shall cause the other applicable Party or Parties to furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is in the opinion of outside counsel necessary to be disclosed and shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure confidential treatment is accorded to such disclosed information.

(c)    If the Merger is not consummated, each Party shall promptly (i) deliver or cause to be delivered to any requesting Party (and if in electronic format, delete or destroy or cause to be deleted or destroyed) all Confidential Information furnished to it or to any of its Affiliates by such requesting Party and (ii) if specifically requested by such requesting Party, destroy any copies of such Confidential Information (including any extracts therefrom), unless such delivery or destruction would violate any Law. Upon the written request of such requesting Party, the Party subject to such request shall cause one of its duly authorized officers to certify promptly in writing to such requesting Party that all Confidential Information has been returned, destroyed or deleted as required by the preceding sentence.

(d)    Harbor and Voyager acknowledge that they have previously executed the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and that the provisions of this Section 8.5 are in furtherance of, and do not limit the obligations of, Harbor and Voyager under the Confidentiality Agreement.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this Section 8.5 shall not apply to (i) Information referred to in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.1(c) or (ii) any non-controlled Affiliate of either Party except to the extent such non-controlled Affiliate receives Confidential Information with respect to Spinco, Harbor, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, as applicable.

Section 8.6     Cooperation with Respect to Government Reports and Filings . Harbor, on behalf of itself and each member of the Harbor Group, agrees to provide any member of the Spinco Group, and Spinco, on behalf of itself and each member of the Spinco Group, agrees to provide any member of the Harbor Group, with such cooperation and Information (in each case, with respect to the Spinco Business only) as may be reasonably requested by the other in connection with the preparation or filing of any government report or other government filing contemplated by this Agreement or in conducting or responding to any other government proceeding relating to the pre-Distribution business of the Harbor Group or the Spinco Group, Assets or Liabilities of either Group or relating to or in connection with the relationship between the Groups on or prior to the Distribution Date. Such cooperation and Information shall include promptly forwarding copies of appropriate notices, forms and other communications received from or sent to any Governmental Authority that relate to the Harbor Group, in the case of the Spinco Group, or the Spinco Group, in the case of the Harbor Group. All cooperation provided under this section shall be provided at the expense of the Party requesting such cooperation; provided that, any such expense of Spinco (or any other member of the Spinco Group) incurred prior to the Effective Time shall be borne by Harbor. Each Party shall make its employees and facilities available during normal business hours and on reasonable prior notice to provide explanation of any documents or Information provided hereunder. This Section 8.6 shall not apply to Information referred to in clauses (x) and (y) of Section 8.1(c). For the avoidance of doubt, none of Harbor, Spinco or any of their respective Affiliates will be required to offer or agree to sell, divest, lease, license, transfer, dispose of or otherwise encumber before or after the Effective Time any assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, business or interests therein of Spinco or Harbor or any of their respective Affiliates or agree to make any material changes or restriction on, or other impairment of Spinco’s or Harbor’s or either of their respective Affiliates’ ability to own, operate or exercise rights in respect of such assets, licenses, operations, rights, product lines, businesses or interests therein for the purpose of complying with Harbor’s or Spinco’s obligations under this Section 8.6.

Any Party to this Agreement may notify any other Party of any changes to the address or any of the other details specified in this paragraph; provided that such notification shall only be effective on the date specified in such notice or five Business Days after the notice is given, whichever is later. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver. Any notice to Harbor will be deemed notice to all members of the Harbor Group, and any notice to Spinco will be deemed notice to all members of the Spinco Group.

Section 10.3     Interpretation . The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.4     Headings . The headings and captions of the Articles and Sections used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference and convenience purposes of the Parties only, and will be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

Section 10.5     Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void,

 

47


such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the original intent of the Parties.

Section 10.6     Assignment . Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder may be assigned by any of the Parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null and void, except that, prior to the Effective Time, Spinco may assign any or all of its rights and interests under this Agreement without the consent of the other Parties hereto (a) to any Person providing the Spinco Financing pursuant to the terms thereof for purposes of creating a security interest herein or otherwise assign as collateral in respect of such Spinco Financing or (b) to any purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets of such Person; provided , however , that, in each case, no such assignment shall release Spinco from any liability or obligation under this Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 10.7     No Third Party Beneficiaries . Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any Person (other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns) any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement, and, except as provided in ARTICLE VI relating to certain indemnitees and the release of certain Liabilities, no Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 10.8     Entire Agreement . This Agreement and the Disclosure Letter hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement, the other Transaction Agreements and other documents referred to herein shall constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall supersede all previous negotiations, commitments and writings with respect to such subject matter. In the case of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other Transaction Agreement, the terms of such other Transaction Agreement shall control.

Section 10.9     Governing Law . This Agreement and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement (and all Schedules hereto) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

Section 10.10     Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of any such Agreement.

Section 10.11     Amendments; Waivers . This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. No failure or delay by any Party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude

 

48


any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right hereunder. Any agreement on the part of any Party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party.

Section 10.12     Termination . Notwithstanding any provision hereof, in the event of termination of the Merger Agreement before the Effective Time, this Agreement may be terminated and the Distribution abandoned at any time prior to the Distribution by and in the sole discretion of Harbor; provided , however , in the event Harbor chooses not to terminate this Agreement, Voyager and its Affiliates shall have no Liability or obligations with respect to this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect with respect to Voyager and its Affiliates. In the event of such termination, no Party or any party to any other Transaction Agreement or any of their respective Representatives or Affiliates shall have any Liability to any Person by reason of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement (other than the Merger Agreement to the extent provided therein).

Section 10.13     WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL . AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

Section 10.14     JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS . ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER, OR FOR RECOGNITION AND ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING HEREUNDER BROUGHT BY THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES OR THEIR SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND DETERMINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY AND ANY STATE APPELLATE COURT THEREFROM WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (OR, IF THE DELAWARE COURT OF CHANCERY DECLINES TO ACCEPT JURISDICTION OVER A PARTICULAR MATTER, ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF DELAWARE). EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE IN THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT (I) ANY CLAIM THAT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE NAMED COURTS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE TO SERVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION 10.14, (II) ANY CLAIM THAT IT OR ITS PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OF NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT OR OTHERWISE) AND (III) TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (A) THE ACTION IN SUCH COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (B) THE VENUE OF SUCH ACTION IS IMPROPER OR (C) THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING

 

49


IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 10.2, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED. NOTWITHSTANDING THIS SECTION 10.14, ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE SPINCO CLOSING STATEMENT SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE V; PROVIDED THAT THE TERMS OF ARTICLE V MAY BE ENFORCED BY EITHER PARTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 10.14.

Section 10.15     Specific Performance . In the event of any actual or threatened default in, or breach of, any of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, the Party who is, or is to be, thereby aggrieved will have the right to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief in respect of its rights under this Agreement or such Transaction Agreement, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies at law or in equity, subject to Section 6.1. The Parties agree that the remedies at law for any breach or threatened breach, including monetary damages, are inadequate compensation for any Loss and that any defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate is waived. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are waived by each of the Parties to this Agreement.

Section 10.16     Damages Waiver . No Party shall be liable to another Party or any of its Affiliates (or any of their respective Related Parties) for any exemplary damages or punitive damages, or any other damages to the extent not reasonably foreseeable, arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any Transaction Agreement (in each case, unless any such damages are payable to a third party pursuant to a Third-Party Claim).

Section 10.17     Legal Representation . It is acknowledged by each of the Parties that Harbor has retained Proskauer Rose LLP (“ Proskauer ”) and Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP (“ Cleary ”) to act as its counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements, and that Proskauer has historically served as counsel to Harbor in connection with both the Harbor Business and the Spinco Business. Each of the Parties hereby agrees that in the event that a dispute arises after the Closing between Harbor or any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Spinco, the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative or any of their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, Proskauer and Cleary may represent Harbor or any of its Affiliates in such dispute even though the interest of any such party may be directly adverse to Spinco, the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative or any of their respective Affiliates and even though Proskauer and Cleary represented Harbor and its Affiliates in connection with the Spinco Business prior to the Closing.

(iii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Series Preferred Issue Price (as defined in the Voyager Certificate of Incorporation) of any share of Voyager Preferred Stock, plus any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, is greater than the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration, the provisions of this Agreement allocating the Closing Per Share Merger Consideration among the Voyager Stockholders shall be deemed to be amended and restated, and the Parties shall cooperate to document such amendment and restatement, to give effect to the applicable provisions of the Voyager Certificate of Incorporation; provided , that nothing in this Section  2.7(b)(iii) shall either prejudice in any way the rights and remedies of Harbor and Spinco under this Agreement or permit the Parties to take any action (or fail to take any action) that is inconsistent with the Spin-off Tax Opinion or Merger Tax Opinion, or otherwise could reasonably be expected to result in a Tax-Free Transaction Failure.

In the event that after giving effect to this Section  2.7(b)(iv) , the aggregate number of shares of Spinco Common Stock issued to the Voyager Stockholders is greater than the number of shares of Spinco Common Stock to be issued as the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration, the Aggregate Closing Merger Consideration shall be deemed to be amended to include such number of additional shares of Spinco Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section  2.7(b)(iv) .

Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative may, in a written notice to Spinco, set forth in reasonable detail any proposed adjustments to the items set forth on the Preliminary Closing Statement and the reasons therefor (it being agreed that the only permitted reasons for such adjustments shall be mathematical error or the failure to compute items set forth therein in accordance with this Agreement). If Spinco shall not have received a notice of proposed adjustments within such forty-five (45)-day period from the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative, the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative will be deemed to have accepted irrevocably the Preliminary Closing Statement.

(c)    The Voyager Stockholders’ Representative and Spinco shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any disputes over any proposed adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Statement during the thirty (30 days following Spinco’s receipt of the proposed adjustments.

If the business representatives resolve the dispute, such resolution shall be memorialized in a written agreement (the Preliminary Closing Statement, as revised by such negotiations, written agreement or the final decision of the accounting firm referred to below, the “ Final Closing Statement ”).

The fees and expenses of KPMG LLP shall be shared by the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative (on behalf of the Voyager Stockholders) and Spinco in inverse proportion to the relative amounts of the disputed amount determined in favor of the Voyager Stockholders’ Representative and Spinco, respectively.

(d)    Upon final determination of the Final Closing Statement pursuant to Section  3.1(c) :

(i)    If the Adjustment Amount is positive, Spinco shall pay to the Exchange Agent the lesser of (A) one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) (less all amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section  9.2 hereof in respect of Voyager Pre-Closing Taxes) and (B) the Adjustment Amount, which amount shall be distributed to each Voyager Stockholder in such proportion as is represented by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Voyager Capital Stock held by each such Voyager Stockholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the denominator of which is the Voyager Fully Diluted Share Number.

(ii)    If the Adjustment Amount is negative, the Escrow Agent shall transfer or cause to be transferred from the Escrow Account to Spinco a number of shares of Spinco Common Stock having a value (determined in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) equal to the absolute value of the Adjustment Amount, and any such shares of Spinco Common Stock shall thereafter be canceled by Spinco and no longer be outstanding.

(e)    The Parties’ sole recourse with respect to the Adjustment Amount shall be as set forth in Section  3.1(d) .

(f)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no distribution of Escrowed Shares or other adjustment under this Section  3.1 (or portion thereof) shall be made to the extent the effect of such distribution or adjustment (or portion thereof) would reasonably be expected to result in the Harbor Stockholders owning fifty percent (50%) or less of Spinco Common Stock (as measured for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code) on or after the Effective Time or otherwise cause a Tax-Free Transaction Failure.

(c)    Spinco shall have delivered to Voyager a certificate, dated as of the Effective Time, of an executive officer of Spinco (on Spinco’s behalf and without any personal liability) certifying the satisfaction by Spinco and Merger Sub of the conditions applicable to them set forth in Section  7.3(a) hereof;

(d)    Since the date of this Agreement, no Spinco Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred;

91


within the meaning of Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code (the “ Voyager Tax Opinion ”). In rendering such Voyager Tax Opinion, Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP may require and rely upon customary representations and covenants contained in certificates of officers of Harbor, Voyager, Spinco and others; and

(f)    The applicable Harbor Entities and Spinco, as applicable, shall have entered into and delivered to Voyager the applicable Transaction Agreements and such agreements shall be in full force and effect and no default thereunder.

Section 7.4     Frustration of Closing Conditions .

Article VIII

TERMINATION, AMENDMENT AND WAIVER

Section 8.1     Termination or Abandonment . Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement may be terminated and abandoned at any time prior to the Effective Time, whether before or after any approval of the matters presented in connection with the Transactions by any stockholders required to approve the Transactions:

(a)    by the mutual written consent of Harbor and Voyager;

(b)    by either Harbor or Voyager if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before the date occurring fifteen (15) months after the date of this Agreement (the “ Termination Date ”), unless the failure of the Effective Time to have occurred by the Termination Date shall be due to the failure of the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section  8.1(b) to perform or otherwise comply with in all material respects the covenants and agreements of such party set forth herein.

(c)    by Voyager (so long as, at the time of termination, Voyager is not in breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other agreement contained herein, which breach would cause the Closing conditions of Harbor or Spinco not to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at the time of termination), if there has been a breach by Harbor or Spinco of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section  7.3(a) hereof would be incapable of being satisfied, and such breach or condition has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Harbor or Spinco, if applicable, of notice of such breach;

(d)    by Harbor (so long as, at the time of termination, Harbor is not in breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or other agreement contained herein which breach would cause the Closing conditions of Voyager not to be satisfied if the Closing were to occur at the time of termination), if there has been a breach by Voyager of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such that Section  7.2(a) hereof would be incapable of being satisfied, and such breach or condition has not been cured within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt by Voyager of notice of such breach;

(e)    by Harbor if the Support Agreements in respect of shares of Voyager capital stock sufficient to effect the Voyager Stockholder Approval at the Voyager Stockholders Meeting have not

 

92


been executed and delivered to Harbor within seventy-two (72) hours following the execution and delivery of this Agreement; or

(f)    by either Harbor or Voyager if any Law or Order by any Governmental Authority preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions shall have become final and non-appealable.

The Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section  8.1 will give written notice of such termination to the other Party, specifying the provision pursuant to which such termination is effected.

Section 8.2     Effect of Termination . If this Agreement is terminated by Harbor or Voyager pursuant to Section  8.1 hereof, then this Agreement shall become void and have no effect with no Liability on the part of the Parties, except to the extent that such termination results from the fraud or intentional breach by a Party of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement; provided , however , that the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement, Section  6.27(c) , this Section  8.2 , Section  8.3 and Article  X shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.3     Fees and Expenses .

(a)     General Rule . Except as otherwise provided in this Section  8.3 , this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, or unless otherwise mutually agreed to by Harbor and Voyager in writing, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Transactions (including all Transaction Expenses) shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses (it being agreed for clarification that any fees and expenses incurred by Spinco or any of its Subsidiaries on or prior to the Effective Time shall be deemed to have been incurred by Harbor).

(b)     Shared Expenses . All Shared Expenses shall be borne (i) by Spinco if the Merger is consummated or (ii) 50% by Harbor and 50% by Voyager, other than respect to the Spinco Financing which shall be borne 60% by Harbor and 40% by Voyager, if the Merger is not consummated. At or prior to the Closing, Spinco shall reimburse Harbor for any Shared Expenses paid by such Person in order to give effect to the obligations set forth in subsection (i) of the foregoing sentence. Harbor and/or Voyager, as applicable, shall reimburse the other for Shared Expenses in order to give effect to the obligations set forth in subsection (ii) of the foregoing sentence.

Article IX

SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; PRE-CLOSING TAX INDEMNIFICATION

Section 9.1     Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties; Survival of Certain Covenants . Except as provided in Section 6.1 of the Distribution Agreement with respect to the representations set forth in Section  4.7 and Section  5.7 , none of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements in this Agreement or in the certificates delivered pursuant to Section  7.2(b) , Section  7.3(b) and Section  7.3(c) of this Agreement will survive the Effective Time or termination of this Agreement; provided , however , that the covenants and agreements contained in Article  II , Article  III , Article  VI , Article  VIII and this Article  IX (and any related definitions) that by their terms apply or are to be performed in whole or in part after the Effective Time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section  9.2 ) shall survive the Effective Time with respect to the portion of such covenant to be performed after the Effective Time.

Section 9.2     Voyager Pre-Closing Tax Indemnity .

(a)    The Voyager Stockholders agree to indemnify and hold harmless Spinco and its Affiliates (each of the foregoing being referred to individually as a “ Spinco Indemnified Person ” and collectively as the “ Spinco Indemnified Persons ”) from and against any and all Taxes or Tax-related Losses incurred or sustained by any Spinco Tax Entity in respect of any Voyager Pre-Closing Taxes, up to an amount not to exceed ten million dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate; provided , that Spinco’s rights under this Section  9.2 shall only apply with respect to claims made by any Spinco Indemnified Person (including with respect to Third-Party Claims resulting in such foregoing Losses) that are first made no later than the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Closing Date. The Escrowed Shares shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for indemnifiable matters under this Section  9.2 . Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Voyager Stockholders’ tax indemnity in this Section  9.2 shall not apply with respect to a Voyager Pre-Closing Tax to the extent that the Liability for the Voyager Pre-Closing Tax (in the amount of such Tax indemnifiable under this Section  9.2 ) has otherwise been included in the calculation of the Voyager Working Capital Adjustment.

(b)    When making indemnification payments pursuant to this Section  9.2 , the Escrow Agent shall distribute an amount of Escrowed Shares to Spinco as set forth in the Escrow Agreement having a value (determined in accordance with the Escrow Agreement) equal to the amount of such Tax indemnifiable under this Section  9.2 , and any such shares of Spinco Common Stock shall thereafter be canceled by Spinco and no longer be outstanding.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no distribution of Escrowed Shares shall be made to the extent the effect of such distribution would reasonably be expected to result in the Harbor Stockholders owning fifty percent (50%) or less of Spinco Common Stock (as measured for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code) on or after the Effective Time or otherwise cause a Tax-Free Transaction Failure; provided , that in such event, Spinco’s right to indemnification hereunder will be limited to such number of Escrowed Shares as may be distributed consistent with the foregoing clause.

(c)    Upon the later to occur of (i) the date occurring on the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which the final outstanding claim made pursuant to Section  9.2(a) is resolved, following the release of any indemnification payments made by the Escrow Agent to Spinco pursuant to this Section  9.2 , any Escrowed Shares then remaining in the Escrow Account shall be distributed to each Voyager Stockholder in such proportion as is represented by a fraction, (x) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Voyager Capital Stock held by each such Voyager Stockholder as of immediately prior to the Effective Time and (y) the denominator of which is the Voyager Fully Diluted Share Number.    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no distribution

 

94


of Escrowed Shares shall be made to the extent the effect of such distribution would reasonably be expected to result in the Harbor Stockholders owning fifty percent (50%) or less of Spinco Common Stock (as measured for purposes of Section 355(e) of the Code) on or after the Effective Time or otherwise cause a Tax-Free Transaction Failure.

(d)    The Parties agree that the indemnification provisions of Section 6.4 and Section 6.6 of the Distribution Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated mutatis mutandis into this Agreement (treating the Voyager Stockholders as the relevant indemnifying party, and the Spinco Indemnified Persons as the relevant indemnitees thereunder), and to apply solely with respect to this Section  9.2 .

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section  9.2 shall survive until the first (1 st ) anniversary of the Closing Date; provided , that any claim asserted within the survival period shall have been timely made for purposes of this Section  9.2(e) and shall survive until that claim has been fully and finally resolved.

Section 9.3     Coordination with other Indemnity Provisions . Harbor’s indemnity with respect to certain pre-Closing Tax matters is set forth in the Tax Matters Agreement and Harbor’s indemnity with respect to the non-Tax matters specified therein in the Distribution Agreement. Indemnities with respect to Taxes other than Voyager Pre-Closing Taxes shall be governed exclusively by the Tax Matters Agreement (or, as applicable, the Employee Matters Agreement), and not this Agreement.

Section 10.6     Governing Law; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .

(a)    This Agreement and all issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto) shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law rules or provisions (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal Laws of the State of Delaware shall control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement (and all Schedules and Exhibits hereto), even though under that jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive Law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) each of the Parties (on behalf of itself, its Subsidiaries and the directors, officers, employees, consultants, financial advisors, accountants, legal counsel, investment bankers, and other agents, advisors and representatives of each of them) agrees that any claim, controversy or dispute of any kind or nature (whether based upon contract, tort or otherwise) against a Lender or Lender Related Party that is in any way related to this Agreement, the Separation, the Merger or any of the other Transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Spinco Financing, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles (other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law); provided that (1) the interpretation of the definitions of Spinco Material Adverse Effect and Voyager Material Adverse Effect and whether or not a Spinco Material Adverse Effect or a Voyager Material Adverse

 

98

(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing and without limiting Section  10.6(a) , the Parties hereby further agree that, no Party will bring any legal proceeding, whether in Law or in equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Lenders or any Lender Related Party in any way relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to the Spinco Financing or the performance thereof, in any forum other than the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York, or, if under applicable Law exclusive jurisdiction is vested in the Federal courts, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (and appellate courts thereof).

(c)    AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (WITH EACH PARTY HAVING HAD OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT COUNSEL), EACH OF THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR THE SPINCO FINANCING, REGARDLESS OF WHICH PARTY INITIATES SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING, AND ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION AGREEMENT OR THE SPINCO FINANCING SHALL BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES AND CONSENTS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION, SERVICE OF PROCESS AND VENUE IN THE AFORESAID COURTS AND WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT, BY WAY OF MOTION, AS A DEFENSE, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHERWISE, IN ANY ACTION WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT (I) ANY CLAIM THAT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE NAMED COURTS FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE TO SERVE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS SECTION  10.7 , (II) ANY CLAIM THAT IT OR ITS PROPERTY IS EXEMPT OR IMMUNE FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OF NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OF JUDGMENT OR OTHERWISE) AND (III) TO THE FULLEST

 

99


EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (A) THE ACTION IN SUCH COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, (B) THE VENUE OF SUCH ACTION IS IMPROPER OR (C) THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF, MAY NOT BE ENFORCED IN OR BY SUCH COURTS. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN Section  10.1 OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

Section 10.8     Severability . If any provision of this Agreement or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance shall be declared judicially to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision shall not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, it being the intent and agreement of the Parties that this Agreement shall be deemed amended by modifying such provision to the extent necessary to render it valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted while preserving its intent or, if such modification is not possible, by substituting therefor another provision that is valid, legal and enforceable and that achieves the original intent of the Parties.

Section 10.9     Headings . The headings and captions of the Articles and Sections used in this Agreement and the table of contents to this Agreement are for reference and convenience purposes of the Parties only, and will be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

Section 10.10     Amendment . This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time before or after receipt of the Merger Sub Stockholder Approval and the Voyager Stockholder Approval; provided , however , that after such stockholder approvals there shall not be made any amendment that by Law requires further approval by the holder of Merger Sub Common Stock or the Voyager Stockholders without the further approval of such stockholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section  10.10 , Section  10.3 , Section  10.6 , and Section  10.17 (and any related definitions insofar as they affect such Sections) may not be amended, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified in a manner adverse to the Lenders, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

Section 10.11     Extension; Waiver . At any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the proviso of the first sentence of Section  10.1 , waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Except as otherwise provided herein, the rights and remedies herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by applicable Law.

Section 10.12     Interpretation .

(a)    When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule, such reference shall be to an Article, Section, Exhibit or Schedule of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents to this Agreement, and the Article and Section headings contained in this Agreement, are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement,

 

100


they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms and any reference to the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall be deemed to include any gender or all three as appropriate. Unless otherwise specified, any agreement, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements or instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes, and including all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a person are also to its permitted successors and assigns. Unless expressly stated to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Transaction Agreement, all references to “the date hereof,” “the date of this Agreement,” “hereby” and “hereupon” and words of similar import shall all be references to April 20, 2018 (or the date of which the relevant Transaction Agreement is first entered into, as the case may be) regardless of any amendment or restatement hereof (or thereof). The use of the phrase “ordinary course of business” or other derivations thereof shall mean “ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.” Unless the context otherwise requires, “or,” “neither,” “nor,” “any,” “either,” and “or” shall not be exclusive. Wherever and whenever in this Agreement there is a consent right of a Party or a reference to the “satisfaction” or “sole discretion” of a Party, such Party shall be entitled to consider solely its own interests (and not the interests of any other Person) or, at its sole election, any such other interests and factors as such Party desires. The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(b)    Neither the specification of any dollar amount in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific fact or item in the Harbor/Spinco Disclosure Schedules or the Voyager Disclosure Schedules is intended or will be deemed to imply that such amount, or higher or lower amounts, or the fact or item so included or other facts or items, are or are not material. Unless this Agreement specifically provides otherwise, neither the specification of any fact, item or matter in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement nor the inclusion of any specific fact, item or matter in the Harbor/Spinco Disclosure Schedules or the Voyager Disclosure Schedules is intended or will be deemed to imply that such fact, item or matter, or other facts, items or matters, are or are not in the ordinary course of business.

that , with respect to Spinco Group Employees located outside of the United States, subject to applicable Law, such transfer, if any, shall occur by the Distribution or as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter, and, in furtherance thereof, the parties shall cooperate reasonably and in good faith to give effect to this covenant with respect to those Spinco Group Employees who are currently employed outside of the United States by a Harbor Entity in jurisdictions in which there is no Spinco Entity. If, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, Harbor identifies, after the Distribution, an employee who was inadvertently not employed by a Spinco Entity as of the Distribution, Harbor shall promptly notify Spinco or its successor, as applicable, of such fact, and the employment of such individual shall be transferred from a Harbor Entity to a Spinco Entity as soon as commercially reasonable thereafter in accordance with applicable Law. Any individual so transferred shall, from the effective date of such transfer, be deemed a Spinco Group Employee under this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees to execute such documentation and take such other actions, and, if necessary to comply with applicable Law, to seek to have the applicable employees and/or their representatives execute such documentation or take such other actions, if any, as may be necessary to effect the assignment and transfer of employment to a Spinco Entity as described herein; provided , that the failure of a Spinco Group Employee to execute any such documentation or take any such action shall not prevent such Spinco Group Employee from being transferred to a Spinco Entity unless otherwise required under applicable Law. Any employee who Harbor intends to retain as an employee of a Harbor Entity on or following the Distribution are collectively referred to herein as the “Harbor Retained Employees.” The Harbor Entities shall assume or retain all employment-related Liabilities related to the Harbor Retained Employees and Harbor Former Employees, regardless of whether such Liability arises prior to, on, or after the Distribution. Subject to Section 3.1 hereof and except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement or Section 6.25 of the Merger Agreement, the Spinco Entities shall automatically assume and/or retain all Liabilities to or relating to (i) Spinco Group Employees and Spinco Former Employees (other than with respect to payments to or relating to the Spinco Group Employees payable, or that have accrued or been incurred, under any applicable Harbor Benefit Plans for the time period prior to the Distribution Date), (ii) Spinco Dedicated Benefit Plans, and (iii) Voyager Benefit Plans, in each case, unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.1(a), regardless of whether such Liability arises prior to, on or after the Distribution (including without limitation, but subject to applicable Law, with respect to the Spinco Entities’ non-U.S. operations). In addition, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Spinco Entities shall assume or retain any Liabilities for severance, termination, redundancy, retention or similar types of compensation or benefits payable to any Spinco Group Employee arising out of the transfer of employment from the applicable Harbor Entity to a Spinco Entity as described in this Section 2.1(a) (it being the intention of the Harbor Entities that no such liability shall arise out of any such transfer).

(b) Disabled Spinco Group Employees . Each Spinco Group Employee who, on or prior to the Distribution, (i) participated in any Harbor Welfare Plan that provides short and/or long-term disability benefits, (ii) became disabled as defined in such plan, and (iii) who retains such status as of the Distribution (a “Disabled Employee”) shall, except as otherwise required by applicable Law and notwithstanding Section 2.1(a), remain a participant in the applicable Harbor Welfare Plans to the extent provided therein in order to provide the STD or LTD benefits as described in Section 6.2(a), and shall become an employee of a Spinco Entity as of the date such Disabled Employee is able to return to active employment; provided that such return-to-work date occurs within one year following the Distribution Date, or at such later date if, but only to the extent and under the conditions, required by applicable Law. To the extent applicable, Spinco shall reimburse the applicable Harbor Entity for all costs associated with providing benefits to any Disabled Employee in accordance with Section 6.2 of this Agreement.

Unless provided otherwise by applicable Law, with respect to the portion of the tax year ending on and including the Distribution Date, Harbor will (i) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding and reporting obligations and (ii) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement (as applicable) to all Spinco Group Employees. Unless provided otherwise by applicable Law, with respect to the remaining portion of such tax year and thereafter, Spinco or its successor will (i) be responsible for all payroll obligations, tax withholding, and reporting obligations for the Spinco Group Employees and (ii) furnish a Form W-2 or similar earnings statement (as applicable) to all Spinco Group Employees. With respect to each affected Spinco Group Employee, Harbor and Spinco shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to (to the extent permitted by applicable Law and practicable) (i) to the extent applicable, treat Spinco (or the applicable Spinco Entity and any successors thereto) as a “successor employer” and Harbor (or the applicable Harbor Entity) as a “predecessor,” within the meaning of Sections 3121(a)(1) and 3306(b)(1) of the Code, to the extent appropriate, for purposes of taxes imposed under the United States Federal Insurance Contributions Act, as amended (“FICA”), or the United States Federal Unemployment Tax Act, as amended (“FUTA”) and related state unemployment insurance laws, (ii) cooperate with each other to avoid, to the extent possible, the restart of FICA and FUTA and related state unemployment insurance laws upon or following the Distribution Date with respect to each such Spinco Group Employee for the tax year during which the Distribution Date occurs, and (iii) file tax returns, exchange wage payment information, and report wage payments made by the respective predecessor and successor employer on separate IRS Forms W-2 or similar earnings statements to each such Spinco Group Employee for the tax year in which the Distribution Date occurs, in a manner provided in Section 4.02(1) of Revenue Procedure 2004-53.

(d) At -Will Status . Notwithstanding the above or any other provision of this Agreement (and except as provided under an applicable written employment agreement or as required by Law), nothing in this Agreement shall create any obligation on the part of any Harbor Entity or any Spinco Entity to (i) continue the employment of any employee or (except as required by this Agreement or applicable Law) permit the return from a leave of absence for any period following the date of this Agreement or the Distribution or (ii) change the employment status of any employee from “at will,” to the extent such employee is an “at will” employee under applicable Law.

Section 2.2 Employee Records . Not later than seven (7) days prior to the Distribution, subject to applicable Law, Harbor shall use commercially reasonable standards to provide or cause to be provided to Spinco any and all employment records and information (including, but not limited to, any personnel files, Form I-9, Form W-2 or other IRS forms, and any non-U.S. documents) with respect to the Spinco Group Employees in the possession of Harbor and its Subsidiaries reasonably required by Spinco to enable Spinco to properly employ the Spinco Group Employees and to carry out its obligations under this Agreement and any applicable Law. Following the date on which such records and information are provided, Spinco shall permit Harbor reasonable access to such records and information, to the extent reasonably necessary for Harbor’s reasonable business needs or as required for Harbor to comply with applicable Law.

(c) Voyager Options . Each Voyager Option held by a Voyager Employee that by its terms (in the normal course without regard to acceleration) is scheduled to vest after the Effective Time shall, subject to any requirements and restrictions under applicable Law, be converted into a Spinco Option and shall otherwise be subject to the same terms and conditions and contain the same features after the Effective Time as the terms and conditions applicable to, and the features contained in, such Voyager Option immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided , however , that from and after the Effective Time:

(b) To the extent applicable, will submit to its respective stockholders for a vote all such waived payments in a manner such that, if such vote is adopted by such stockholders in a manner which satisfies the requirements of Section 280G(b)(5)(B) of the Code and the treasury regulations thereunder, including Q-7 of Section 1.280G-1 of such treasury regulations, no payment or benefit received by such “disqualified individual” would be a “parachute payment” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code (the “280G Approval”). Prior to the Effective Date, each of Voyager and its Subsidiaries, to the extent applicable, shall deliver to Harbor and Spinco evidence that a vote of the stockholders was solicited in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section  7.14 and that either (i) 280G Approval was obtained, or (ii) 280G Approval was not obtained, and as a consequence, the parachute payments subject to the Parachute Payment Waivers shall not be made or provided in accordance with such Parachute Payment Waivers. Voyager shall provide Harbor with drafts of all such solicitation materials and consents for review and comment prior to delivery to stockholders or disqualified individuals, as applicable (such review and comment not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

Section 7.15 Survival and Indemnification . The provisions of Section 6.1 of the Distribution Agreement regarding the survival of covenants, obligations and agreements of the Parties shall apply to the covenants, obligations and agreements described in this Agreement as if they were set forth in the Distribution Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the Distribution Agreement, any Liabilities described in this Agreement as being assumed or retained by Harbor or a Harbor Entity shall be Excluded Liabilities, and any Liabilities described in this Agreement as being assumed or retained by Spinco or a Spinco Entity shall be Spinco Liabilities and, in each case, the provisions of the Distribution Agreement (including the indemnification provision of Section 6.3 of the Distribution Agreement) shall apply to such Liabilities.

Darby hereby represents and warrants to Schein that all of the BAHHC Equity Interests being put pursuant to this Amendment represents all of the equity interests of BAHHC owned by the Darby Sellers and their respective affiliates.


3. Purchase Price .
