(the Company), consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 15, 2019, by and among the Company, Maiden Merger Sub, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), and Legacy Vivint Smart Home, Inc. (f/k/a Vivint Smart Home, Inc.) (Legacy Vivint Smart Home), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Amendment and as amended, the Merger Agreement), dated as of December 18, 2019, by and among the Company, Maiden Sub and Legacy Vivint Smart Home.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, a business combination between the Company and Legacy Vivint Smart Home was effected through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Legacy Vivint Smart Home, with Legacy Vivint Smart Home surviving as the surviving company (the Merger). At the effective time of the Merger (the Effective Time), each stockholder of Legacy Vivint Smart Home received 84.5320916792 shares of the Companys Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Common Stock), for each share of Legacy Vivint Smart Home common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that such stockholder owned. Pursuant in each case to a Subscription Agreement entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement, certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Fortress Investment Group LLC (Fortress) and certain investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group Inc. (Blackstone) purchased, respectively, 12,500,000 and 10,000,000 newly-issued shares of Common Stock (such purchases, the Fortress PIPE and the Blackstone PIPE, respectively, and together, the PIPE) concurrently with the completion of the Merger (the Closing) on the Closing Date for an aggregate purchase price of $125,000,000 and $100,000,000, respectively.
In connection with the execution of the Amendment, the Company entered into a Subscription and Backstop Agreement (the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement) with Fortress, pursuant to which Fortress committed to (i) purchase $50,000,000 in aggregate purchase price of shares of Mosaics Common Stock in the open market, subject to applicable law, (ii) backstop redemptions by subscribing for a number of shares of newly-issued shares of Mosaics Common Stock at a purchase price per share equal to the per-share value of the Companys trust account at the time of any such redemptions and (iii) subscribe for up to $50,000,000 (less the aggregate purchase price of the shares purchased by it in the open market and to backstop redemptions) in aggregate purchase price of newly-issued shares of Mosaics Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share to be issued at the election of the Company at the Closing. On the Closing Date, pursuant to the Fortress Subscription and Backstop Agreement, Fortress purchased 2,698,753 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate of $27,779,676.80.
In addition, the Company entered into an additional subscription agreement (the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement) with one of the forward purchasers (the Forward Purchaser). Pursuant to the Additional Forward Purchaser Subscription Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Forward Purchaser purchased from the Company 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share. As consideration for the additional investment, 25% of Mosaic Sponsor LLCs shares of the Companys Class F Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the Founder Shares) and private placement warrants (the private placement warrants) were forfeited to the Company and the Company issued to the Forward Purchaser an equal number of shares of Common Stock and warrants concurrently with the Closing.
In connection with the Closing, the registrant changed its name from Mosaic Acquisition Corp. to Vivint Smart Home, Inc.

On January 17, 2020, the Audit Committee of the Board approved the engagement of Ernst & Young LLP (EY) as the Companys independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Companys consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. EY served as the independent registered public accounting firm of Legacy Vivint Smart Home prior to the Merger.

3,000,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock); and
300,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Preferred Stock).
A. The board of directors of the Corporation (the Board of Directors) is hereby expressly authorized, by resolution or resolutions, at any time and from time to time, to provide, out of the unissued shares of Preferred Stock, for one or more series of Preferred Stock and, with respect to each such series, to fix, without further stockholder approval (subject to any separate vote or consent of the holders of one or more classes or series of stock
of the Corporation expressly required therefor under this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock)), the designation of such series, the powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of such series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares of such series. The powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, of each series of Preferred Stock, if any, may differ from those of any and all other series at any time outstanding.
B. Each holder of record of Common Stock, as such, shall be entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote generally or holders of Common Stock as a separate class are entitled to vote (whether voting separately as a class or together with one or more classes of the Corporations capital stock); provided, however, that to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of Common Stock, as such, shall have no voting power with respect to, and shall not be entitled to vote on, any amendment to this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of Preferred Stock if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock) or pursuant to the DGCL.

A. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Restated Certificate to the contrary, at any time when the Stockholder Parties (as defined in, and including any Person (as defined below) that from time to time becomes a Stockholder Party pursuant to the terms of, the Stockholders Agreement, dated September 15, 2019 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the Stockholders Agreement),(together with their respective Affiliates, successors and permitted assigns, each, a Stockholder Party, and collectively the Stockholder Parties)) beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election
of directors, in addition to any vote required by applicable law, the following provisions in this Restated Certificate may be amended, altered, repealed or rescinded, in whole or in part, or any provision inconsistent therewith or herewith may be adopted, only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then-outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class: this Article V, Article VI, Article VII, Article VIII, Article IX, Article X and Article XI(B). For the purposes of this Restated Certificate, beneficial ownership of shares shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act).
B. In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred by the DGCL, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to make, amend, alter, change, add to or repeal, in whole or in part, the bylaws of the Corporation (as in effect from time to time, the Bylaws) without the assent or vote of the stockholders in any manner not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Delaware or this Restated Certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Restated Certificate or any provision of law which might otherwise permit a lesser vote of the stockholders, at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, in addition to any vote of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation required herein (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock), by the Bylaws or by applicable law, the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% in voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class, shall be required in order for the stockholders of the Corporation to alter, amend, repeal or rescind, in whole or in part, any provision of the Bylaws or to adopt any provision inconsistent therewith.

ARTICLE VI
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
A. Except as otherwise provided in this Restated Certificate or the DGCL, the business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board of Directors. Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of Article IV (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) and this Article VI relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock to elect additional directors and subject to the applicable requirements of the Stockholders Agreement, the total number of directors shall be determined from time to time exclusively by resolution adopted by the Board of Directors. The directors (other than those directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) shall be divided into three classes designated Class I, Class II and Class III. Each class shall consist, as nearly as possible, of one-third of the total number of such directors. Class I directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial classification of the Board of Directors (the Classification Date), Class II directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the second annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date and Class III directors shall initially serve for a term expiring at the third annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date. Commencing with the first annual meeting of stockholders following the Classification Date, the directors of the class to be elected at each annual meeting shall be elected for a three-year term. If the number of such directors is changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, and any such additional director of any class elected to fill a newly created directorship resulting from an increase in such class shall hold office for a term that shall coincide with the remaining term of that class, but in no case shall a decrease in the number of directors remove or shorten the term of any incumbent director. Any such director shall hold office until the annual meeting at which his or her term expires and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. The Board of Directors is authorized to assign members of the Board of Directors already in office to their respective class.
B. Subject to the rights granted to the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock then outstanding and the rights granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors (whether by death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal or other cause) may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors then in office (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be), although less than a quorum, by a sole remaining director or by the stockholders; provided, however, that, subject to the rights of the holders of Preferred Stock or those granted pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any newly-created directorship on the Board of Directors that results from an increase in the number of directors and any vacancy occurring in the Board of Directors shall be filled only by a majority of the directors then in office, although less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director (other than directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, by voting separately as a series or together with one or more series, as the case may be) (and not by stockholders). Any director elected to fill a vacancy or newly created directorship shall hold office until the next election of the class for which such director shall have been chosen and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.
C. Any or all of the directors (other than the directors elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, as the case may be) may be removed at any time either with or without cause by the affirmative vote of a majority in voting power of all outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class; provided, however, that at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any such director or all such directors may be removed only for cause and only by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a single class.
D. Elections of directors need not be by written ballot unless the Bylaws shall so provide.
E. During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or together with one or more other such series, have the right to elect additional directors pursuant to the provisions of this Restated Certificate (including any certificate of designation with respect to any series of Preferred Stock) in respect of such series, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues; (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until such directors successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until such directors right to hold such office terminates pursuant to said provisions, whichever occurs earlier, subject to his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal. Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate (in which case each such director thereupon shall cease to be qualified as, and shall cease to be, a director) and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be reduced accordingly.
ARTICLE VII
LIMITATION OF DIRECTOR LIABILITY
A. To the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL as it now exists or may hereafter be amended, a director of the Corporation shall not be personally liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty owed to the Corporation or its stockholders.
B. Neither the amendment nor repeal of this Article VII, nor the adoption of any provision of this Restated Certificate, nor, to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, any modification of law shall eliminate, reduce or otherwise adversely affect any right or protection of a current or former director of the Corporation in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, repeal, adoption or modification.
ARTICLE VIII
CONSENT OF STOCKHOLDERS IN LIEU OF MEETING, ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS
A. At any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the DGCL. At any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, less than 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of such holders and may not be effected by any consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting, unless such action is recommended by all directors then in office; provided, however, that any action required or permitted to be taken by the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a series or separately as a class with one or more other such series, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, to the extent expressly so provided by the applicable certificate of designation relating to such series of Preferred Stock.
B. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time only by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors; provided, however, that at any time when the Stockholder Parties beneficially own, in the aggregate, at least 30% of the total voting power of all the then outstanding shares of stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation for any purpose or purposes shall also be called by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or the Chairman of the Board of Directors at the request of any Stockholder Party that is an Affiliate of The Blackstone Group Inc. (or the successors and permitted assigns of any such Stockholder Party) (collectively, Blackstone).
C. An annual meeting of stockholders for the election of directors to succeed those whose terms expire and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting, shall be held at such place, if any, on such date, and at such time as shall be fixed exclusively by resolution of the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof.
ARTICLE IX

Employee Directors) and their respective Affiliates may now engage and may continue to engage in the same or similar activities or related lines of business as those in which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, may engage and/or other business activities that overlap with or compete with those in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, may engage or propose to engage, the provisions of this Article IX are set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Corporation with respect to certain classes or categories of business opportunities as they may involve any of the Stockholder Parties, the Non-Employee Directors or their respective Affiliates and the powers, rights, duties and liabilities of the Corporation and its directors, officers and stockholders in connection therewith.
B. None of (i) the Stockholder Parties or any of their Affiliates or (ii) any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation in both his or her director and officer capacities) or his or her Affiliates (the Persons identified in (i) and (ii) above being referred to, collectively, as Identified Persons and, individually, as an Identified Person) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have any duty to refrain from directly or indirectly (1) engaging in the same or similar business activities or lines of business in which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates now engages or proposes to engage or (2) otherwise competing with the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no Identified Person shall be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person engages in any such activities. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in, or right to be offered an opportunity to participate in, any business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for an Identified Person and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, except as provided in Section (C) of this Article IX. Subject to said Section (C) of this Article IX, in the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other business opportunity that may be a corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself and the Corporation or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, have no duty to communicate or offer such transaction or other business opportunity to the Corporation or any of its Affiliates and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders or to any Affiliate of the Corporation for breach of any fiduciary duty as a stockholder, director or officer of the Corporation solely by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such corporate opportunity for itself, herself or himself, or offers or directs such corporate opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such corporate opportunity to the Corporation.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, the Corporation does not renounce its interest in any corporate opportunity offered to any Non-Employee Director (including any Non-Employee Director who serves as an officer of the Corporation) if such opportunity is expressly offered to such person solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation, and the provisions of Section (B) of this Article IX shall not apply to any such corporate opportunity.
D. In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article IX, a potential corporate opportunity shall not be deemed to be a corporate opportunity for the Corporation if it is a business opportunity that (i) the Corporation is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (ii) from its nature, is not in the line of the Corporations business or is of no practical advantage to the Corporation or (iii) is one in which the Corporation has no interest or reasonable expectancy.
E. For purposes of this Article IX, Affiliate shall mean (a) in respect of any Stockholder Party, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by a Stockholder Party, controls a Stockholder Party or is under common control with a Stockholder Party and shall include any principal, member, director, partner, stockholder, officer, employee or other representative of any of the foregoing (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation), (b) in respect of a Non-Employee Director, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by such Non-Employee Director (other than the Corporation and any entity that is controlled by the Corporation) and (c) in respect of the Corporation, any Person that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Corporation.
F. For purposes of this Article IX, control, including the terms controlling, controlled by and under common control with, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting stock, by contract, or otherwise.

(1) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors and the proposal of other business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders only (a) as provided in the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation) (with respect to nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors only), (b) pursuant to the Corporations notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) delivered pursuant to Section 2.04 of Article II of these Bylaws, (c) by or at the direction of the
Board of Directors or any authorized committee thereof or (d) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who, subject to paragraph (C)(4) of this Section 2.03, complied with the notice procedures set forth in paragraphs (A)(2) and (A)(3) of this Section 2.03 and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice is delivered to the Secretary of the Corporation.

Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the chairman of the meeting shall, in addition to making any other determination that may be appropriate for the conduct of the meeting, have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall be disregarded. The date and time of the opening and the closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at a meeting shall be announced at the meeting by the chairman of the meeting. The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution such rules and regulations for the conduct of the meeting of stockholders as it shall deem appropriate. Except to the extent inconsistent with such rules and regulations as adopted by the Board of Directors, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to convene and (for any or no reason) to recess and/or adjourn the meeting, to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are appropriate for the proper conduct of the meeting. Such rules, regulations or procedures, whether adopted by the Board of Directors or prescribed by the chairman of the meeting, may include, without limitation, the following: (i) the establishment of an agenda or order of business for the meeting, (ii) rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present; (iii) limitations on attendance at or participation in the meeting to stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, their duly authorized and constituted proxies or such other persons as the chairman of the meeting shall determine; (iv) restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof; and (v) limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and on shareholder approvals. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, unless otherwise required by the DGCL, if the stockholder (or a qualified representative of the stockholder) does not appear at the annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation to present a nomination or business, such nomination shall be disregarded and such proposed business shall not be transacted, notwithstanding that proxies in respect of such vote may have been received by the Corporation. For purposes of this Section 2.03, to be considered a qualified representative of the stockholder, a person must be a duly authorized officer, manager or partner of such stockholder or must be authorized by a writing executed by such stockholder or an electronic transmission delivered by such stockholder to act for such stockholder as proxy at the meeting of stockholders and such person must produce such writing or electronic transmission, or a reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission, at the meeting of stockholders. Unless and to the extent determined by the Board of Directors or the chairman of the meeting, the meeting of stockholders shall not be required to be held in accordance with the rules of parliamentary procedure.
(2) Whenever used in these Bylaws, public announcement shall mean disclosure (a) in a press release released by the Corporation, provided such press release is released by the Corporation following its customary procedures, is reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service, or is generally available on internet news sites, or (b) in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
(3) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder with respect to the matters set forth in this Section 2.03; provided, however, that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any references in these Bylaws to the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder are not intended to and shall not limit any requirements applicable to nominations or proposals as to any other business to be considered pursuant to these Bylaws (including paragraphs (A)(1)(d) and (B) of this Section 2.03), and compliance with paragraphs (A)(1)(d) and (B) of this Section 2.03 of these Bylaws shall be the exclusive means for a stockholder to make nominations or submit other business. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of the holders of any class or series of stock having a preference over the Common Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation to elect directors under specified circumstances.
(4) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.03, for as long as the Stockholders Agreement remains in effect with respect to the Stockholder Parties (as defined in the Certificate of Incorporation), the Stockholder Parties (to the extent then subject to the Stockholders Agreement) shall not be subject to the notice procedures set forth in paragraphs (A)(2), (A)(3) or (B) of this Section 2.03 with respect to any annual or special meeting of stockholders.
SECTION 2.04 Notice of Meetings. Whenever stockholders are required or permitted to take any action at a meeting, a timely notice in writing or by electronic transmission, in the manner provided in Section 232 of the DGCL, of the meeting, which shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting, the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting, the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, if such date is different from the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting, and, in the case of a special meeting, the purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be mailed to or transmitted electronically by the Secretary of the Corporation to each stockholder of record entitled to vote thereat as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting. Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the notice of any meeting shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting as of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to notice of the meeting.
SECTION 2.05 Quorum. Unless otherwise required by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or the rules of any stock exchange upon which the Corporations securities are listed, the holders of record of a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote thereat, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at all meetings of stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, where a separate vote by a class or series or classes or series is required, a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of such class or series or classes or series, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to the vote on that matter. Once a quorum is present to organize a meeting, it shall not be broken by the subsequent withdrawal of any stockholders.
SECTION 2.06 Voting. Except as otherwise provided by or pursuant to the provisions of the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder that has voting power upon the matters in question. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders or to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy in any manner provided under Section 212(c) of the DGCL or as otherwise provided under applicable law, but no such proxy shall be voted or acted upon after three years from its date, unless the proxy provides for a longer period. A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power. A stockholder may revoke any proxy that is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in person or by delivering to the Secretary of the Corporation a revocation of the proxy or a new proxy bearing a later date. Unless required by the Certificate of Incorporation or applicable law, or determined by the chairman of the meeting to be advisable, the vote on any question need not be by ballot. On a vote by ballot, each ballot shall be signed by the stockholder voting, or by such stockholders proxy, if there be such proxy. When a quorum is present or represented at any meeting, the vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the shares of stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the subject matter shall decide any question brought before such meeting, unless the question is one upon which, by express provision of applicable law, of the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Corporation, of any regulation applicable to the Corporation or its securities, of the Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a different vote is required, in which case such express provision shall govern and control the decision of such question.

Any business may be transacted at the adjourned meeting that might have been transacted at the meeting originally noticed. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting. If after the adjournment a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote is fixed for the adjourned meeting, the Board of Directors shall fix as the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such adjourned meeting as of the record date so fixed for notice of such adjourned meeting.

(a) participate in a meeting of stockholders; and
(b) be deemed present in person and vote at a meeting of stockholders whether such meeting is to be held at a designated place or solely by means of remote communication;
provided, that
(i) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to verify that each person deemed present and permitted to vote at the meeting by means of remote communication is a stockholder or proxyholder;
(ii) the Corporation shall implement reasonable measures to provide such stockholders and proxyholders a reasonable opportunity to participate in the meeting and to vote on matters submitted to the stockholders, including an opportunity to read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings; and
(iii) if any stockholder or proxyholder votes or takes other action at the meeting by means of remote communication, a record of such vote or other action shall be maintained by the Corporation.
SECTION 2.12 Inspectors of Election. The Corporation may, and shall if required by law, in advance of any meeting of stockholders, appoint one or more inspectors of election, who may be employees of the Corporation, to act at the meeting or any adjournment thereof and to make a written report thereof. The Corporation may designate one or more persons as alternate inspectors to replace any inspector who fails to act. In the event that no inspector so appointed or designated is able to act at a meeting of stockholders, the chairman of the meeting shall appoint one or more inspectors to act at the meeting. Each inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath to execute faithfully the duties of inspector with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. The inspector or inspectors so appointed or designated shall (i) ascertain the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation outstanding and the voting power of each such share, (ii) determine the shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and the validity of proxies and ballots, (iii) count all votes and ballots, (iv) determine and retain for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the inspectors and (v) certify their determination of the number of shares of capital stock of the Corporation represented at the meeting and such inspectors count of all votes and ballots. Such certification and report shall specify such other information as may be required by law. In determining the validity and counting of proxies and ballots cast at any meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, the inspectors may consider such information as is permitted by applicable law. No person who is a candidate for an office at an election may serve as an inspector at such election.

Shares of stock of the Corporation shall be transferable upon its books by the holders thereof, in person or by their duly authorized attorneys or legal representatives, upon surrender to the Corporation by delivery thereof (to the extent evidenced by a physical stock certificate) to the person in charge of the stock and transfer books and ledgers.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network; provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of meeting or (b) during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation. In the event that the Corporation determines to make the list available on an electronic network, the Corporation may take reasonable steps to ensure that such information is available only to stockholders of the Corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then a list of stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting shall be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be examined by any stockholder who is present. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the
information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting. Except as otherwise provided by the DGCL, the stock ledger shall be the only evidence as to who are the stockholders entitled to examine the list of stockholders required by this Section 5.05 or to vote in person or by proxy at any meeting of stockholders.
SECTION 5.06 Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.
(A) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting. If the Board of Directors so fixes a date, such date shall also be the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting unless the Board of Directors determines, at the time it fixes such record date, that a later date on or before the date of the meeting shall be the date for making such determination. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the adjourned meeting, and in such case shall also fix as the record date for stockholders entitled to notice of such adjourned meeting the same or an earlier date as that fixed for determination of stockholders entitled to vote in accordance herewith at the adjourned meeting.
(B) In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted, and which record date shall not be more than sixty (60) days prior to such action. If no such record date is fixed, the record date for determining stockholders for any such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.
(C) Unless otherwise restricted by the Certificate of Incorporation, in order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors, and which record date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors. If no record date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting is fixed by the Board of Directors, (i) when no prior action of the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, and (ii) if prior action by the Board of Directors is required by law, the record date for such purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action.
SECTION 5.07 Registered Stockholders. Prior to the surrender to the Corporation of the certificate or certificates for a share or shares of stock or notification to the Corporation of the transfer of uncertificated shares with a request to record the transfer of such share or shares, the Corporation may treat the registered owner of such share or shares as the person entitled to receive dividends, to vote, to receive notifications and otherwise to exercise all the rights and powers of an owner of such share or shares. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such share or shares on the part of any other person, whether or not it shall have express or other notice thereof.

ARTICLE VII
Indemnification
SECTION 7.01 Right to Indemnification. Each person who was or is made a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (hereinafter a proceeding), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or an officer of the Corporation or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee of another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan (hereinafter an indemnitee), whether the basis of such proceeding is alleged action in an official capacity as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee or in any other capacity while serving as a director, officer, employee, agent or trustee, shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such
amendment), against all expense, liability and loss (including attorneys fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such indemnitee in connection therewith; provided, however, that, except as provided in Section 7.03 with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses or with respect to any compulsory counterclaim brought by such indemnitee, the Corporation shall indemnify any such indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such indemnitee only if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.
Any reference to an officer of the Corporation in this Article VII shall be deemed to refer exclusively to the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer or General Counsel and Secretary of the Corporation appointed pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws, and to any Vice President, Assistant Secretary, Assistant Treasurer or other officer of the Corporation appointed by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article IV of these Bylaws, and any reference to an officer of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be deemed to refer exclusively to an officer appointed by the board of directors or equivalent governing body of such other entity pursuant to the certificate of incorporation and bylaws or equivalent organizational documents of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise. The fact that any person who is or was an employee of the Corporation or an employee of any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, but not an officer thereof as described in the preceding sentence, has been given or has used the title of Vice President or any other title that could be construed to suggest or imply that such person is or may be such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall not result in such person being constituted as, or being deemed to be, such an officer of the Corporation or of such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for purposes of this Article VII.
SECTION 7.02 Right to Advancement of Expenses. In addition to the right to indemnification conferred in Section 7.01, an indemnitee shall also have the right to be paid by the Corporation the expenses (including attorneys fees) incurred in appearing at, participating in or defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition or in connection with a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Article VII (which shall be governed by Section 7.03 (hereinafter an advancement of expenses); provided, however, that, if the DGCL requires or in the case of an advance made in a proceeding brought to establish or enforce a right to indemnification or advancement, an advancement of expenses incurred by an indemnitee in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Corporation (and not in any other capacity in which service was or is rendered by such indemnitee, including, without limitation, service to an employee benefit plan) shall be made solely upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking (hereinafter an undertaking), by or on behalf of such indemnitee, to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (hereinafter a final adjudication) that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified or entitled to advancement of expenses under Sections 7.01 and 7.02 or otherwise.
SECTION 7.03 Right of Indemnitee to Bring Suit. If a claim under Section 7.01 or 7.02 is not paid in full by the Corporation within (i) sixty (60) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Corporation or (ii) twenty (20) days after a claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim or to obtain advancement of expenses, as applicable. To the fullest extent permitted by law, if the indemnitee is successful in whole or in part in any such suit, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall be entitled to be paid also the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit. In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the DGCL, nor an actual determination by the
Corporation (including by its directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such directors, independent legal counsel, or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VII or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.
SECTION 7.04 Indemnification Not Exclusive.
(A) The provision of indemnification to or the advancement of expenses and costs to any indemnitee under this Article VII, or the entitlement of any indemnitee to indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs under this Article VII, shall not limit or restrict in any way the power of the Corporation to indemnify or advance expenses and costs to such indemnitee in any other way permitted by law or be deemed exclusive of, or invalidate, any right to which any indemnitee seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses and costs may be entitled under any law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such indemnitees capacity as an officer, director, employee or agent of the Corporation and as to action in any other capacity.
(B) Given that certain jointly indemnifiable claims (as defined below) may arise due to the service of the indemnitee as a director and/or officer of the Corporation and as a director, officer, employee or agent of one or more indemnitee-related entities (as defined below), the Corporation shall be fully and primarily responsible for the payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses in connection with any such jointly indemnifiable claims, pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Article VII, irrespective of any right of recovery the indemnitee may have from any indemnitee-related entity. Under no circumstance shall the Corporation be entitled to any right of subrogation or contribution by any indemnitee-related entity and no right of advancement or recovery the indemnitee may have from any indemnitee-related entity shall reduce or otherwise alter the rights of the indemnitee or the obligations of the Corporation hereunder. In the event that any indemnitee-related entity shall make any payment to the indemnitee in respect of indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to any jointly indemnifiable claim, such indemnitee-related entity shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the indemnitee against the Corporation, and the indemnitee shall execute all papers reasonably required and shall do all things that may be reasonably necessary to secure such rights, including the execution of such documents as may be necessary to enable any indemnitee-related entity effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. Each of the indemnitee-related entities shall be third-party beneficiaries with respect to this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII, entitled to enforce this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII.
For purposes of this Section 7.04(B) of Article VII, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(1) The term indemnitee-related entities means any corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise (other than the Corporation or any other corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise for which the indemnitee has agreed, on behalf of the Corporation or at the Corporations request, to serve as a director, officer, employee or agent and which service is covered by the indemnity described herein) from whom an indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses with respect to which, in whole or in part, the Corporation may also have an indemnification or advancement obligation (other than as a result of obligations under an insurance policy).
(2) The term jointly indemnifiable claims shall be broadly construed and shall include, without limitation, any action, suit or proceeding for which the indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification or advancement of expenses from both an indemnitee-related entity and the Corporation pursuant to Delaware law, any agreement or certificate of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement, operating agreement, certificate of formation, certificate of limited partnership or comparable organizational documents of the Corporation or an indemnitee-related entity, as applicable.
SECTION 7.05 Nature of Rights. The rights conferred upon indemnitees in this Article VII shall be contract rights and such rights shall continue as to an indemnitee who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of this Article VII that adversely affects any right of an indemnitee or its successors shall be prospective only and shall not limit, eliminate, or impair any such right with respect to any proceeding involving any occurrence or alleged occurrence of any action or omission to act that took place prior to such amendment or repeal.
SECTION 7.06 Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any expense, liability or loss, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such expense, liability or loss under the DGCL.
SECTION 7.07 Indemnification of Employees and Agents of the Corporation. The Corporation may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors, grant rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to any employee or agent of the Corporation to the fullest extent of the provisions of this Article VII with respect to the indemnification and advancement of expenses of directors and officers of the Corporation.

8. |
Advances of Expenses. |
(a) |
The Company shall advance the Expenses incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding prior to its final resolution, and such advancement shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 30 days, after the receipt by the Company of a written statement or statements requesting such advance or advances from time to time (which shall include (a) invoices received by Indemnitee in connection with such Expenses but, in the case of invoices in connection with legal services, any references to legal work performed or to expenditure made that would cause Indemnitee to waive any privilege accorded by applicable law shall not be included with the invoice and (b) contain the affirmation required by Section 9(a)). Advances shall be unsecured and interest free and made without regard to Indemnitees ability to repay such advances. The Indemnitee shall qualify for advances to the fullest extent permitted by law upon the execution hereby; provided, however, Indemnitee undertakes to repay any advance |
4
(without interest) if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment, not subject to appeal, that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. This Section 8 shall not apply to the extent advancement is prohibited by law as determined in a final adjudication and shall not apply to any Proceeding for which indemnity is not permitted under this Agreement, but shall apply to any Proceeding referenced in Sections 7(b) or 7(c) prior to a determination that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company. |
(b) |
The Companys obligation to advance Expenses is conditioned upon the reasonableness of the Expenses. In the event a dispute arises as to the reasonableness of Expenses, the Company shall have the right, either prior to or after the final resolution of the underlying Proceeding, to challenge the reasonableness of specific Expenses or the Expenses as a whole by filing an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, at the Companys option, initiating an arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. In connection with such an action or arbitration, the Company shall have the right to recoup any and all amounts already advanced that are determined to be unreasonable. Indemnitee agrees not to oppose the Companys right to bring such an action or arbitration to resolve disputes regarding the reasonableness of Expenses or the Companys right to seek recoupment of unreasonable amounts already advanced, and Indemnitee specifically agrees not to assert that such action or arbitration (including without limitation any recoupment request included therein) is/are premature. |
9. |
Procedures for Notification and Defense of Claim. |
(a) |
Indemnitee shall notify the Company in writing of any matter with respect to which Indemnitee intends to seek indemnification or advancement of Expenses as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt by Indemnitee of notice thereof. The written notification to the Company shall include, (i) a description of the nature of the Proceeding and (ii) an affirmation of the Indemnitees good faith belief that: (A) the conduct of such Indemnitee was in good faith, (B) the Indemnitee reasonably believed that his conduct was in the best interests of the Company, or at least not opposed to the Companys best interests and (C) in the case of any criminal Proceeding, the Indemnitee had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. The failure by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company from any liability which it may have to Indemnitee hereunder or otherwise than under this Agreement, and any delay in so notifying the Company shall not constitute a waiver by Indemnitee of any right, except to the extent that such failure or delay materially prejudices the Company. |
(b) |
If, at the time of the receipt of a notice of a Proceeding pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company has directors and officers liability insurance in effect, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of the Proceeding to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the applicable policies. The Company shall thereafter take all commercially reasonable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Proceeding in accordance with the terms of such policies. |
(c) |
If the Company may be obligated to make any indemnity in connection with a Proceeding, the Company shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Proceeding with counsel approved by Indemnitee, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. After the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee for any fees or expenses of counsel subsequently incurred by Indemnitee with respect to the same Proceeding. Notwithstanding the Companys assumption of the defense of any such Proceeding, the Company shall be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of Indemnitees separate counsel to the extent (i) the employment of separate counsel by Indemnitee is authorized by the Company, (ii) counsel for the Company or Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there is a conflict of interest between the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense such that Indemnitee needs to be separately represented, (iii) the Company is not financially or legally able to perform its indemnification obligations, or (iv) the Company shall not have retained, or shall not continue |
5
to retain, such counsel to defend such Proceeding. Indemnitee agrees that any such separate counsel will be a member of any approved list of panel counsel under the Companys applicable directors and officers insurance policy, should the applicable policy provide for a panel of approved counsel. In the event that the Company was to assume the defense of a Proceeding, the Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion. Regardless of any provision in this Agreement, Indemnitee shall have the right to employ counsel in any Proceeding at Indemnitees personal expense. The Company shall not be entitled, without the consent of Indemnitee, to assume the defense of any claim brought by or in the right of the Company. |
(d) |
Indemnitee shall give the Company such information and cooperation in connection with the Proceeding as may be reasonably appropriate. |
(e) |
The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee for any settlement of any Proceeding (or any part thereof) without the Companys prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
(f) |
The Company shall have the right to settle any Proceeding (or any part thereof) with respect to persons other than Indemnitee (including the Company) without the consent of Indemnitee; provided, however, that the Company shall not, on its own behalf, settle any part of any Proceeding to which Indemnitee is party with respect to other parties (including the Company) without the written consent of Indemnitee if any portion of such settlement is to be funded from insurance proceeds unless approved by (1) the written consent of Indemnitee or (2) a majority of the independent members of the Companys board of directors; provided, further, that the right to constrain the Companys use of corporate insurance as described in this section shall terminate at the time the Company concludes (per the terms of this Agreement) that (i) Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification pursuant to this agreement, or (ii) such indemnification obligation to Indemnitee has been fully discharged by the Company. |
(g) |
The Company shall promptly notify Indemnitee once the Company has received an offer or intends to make an offer to settle any such Proceeding (or any part thereof) and the Company shall provide Indemnitee as much time as reasonably practicable to consider such offer prior to responding to the offer or making the offer to settle any such Proceeding (or part thereof). |
10. |
Procedures upon Application for Indemnification. |
(a) |
To obtain indemnification, Indemnitee shall submit to the Company a written request, including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to Indemnitee and as is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification following the final disposition of the Proceeding. The Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such a request for indemnification, advise the board of directors that Indemnitee has requested indemnification. Any delay in providing the request will not relieve the Company from its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is prejudicial. |
(b) |
Upon written request by Indemnitee for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a), a determination with respect to Indemnitees entitlement thereto shall be made, if required by applicable law, (A) by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Companys board of directors, (B) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum of the Companys board of directors, (C) if there are no such Disinterested Directors or, if such Disinterested Directors so direct, by Independent Counsel in a written opinion to the Companys board of directors, a copy of which shall be delivered to Indemnitee or (D) if so directed by the Companys board of directors, by the stockholders of the Company. If it is determined that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, payment to Indemnitee shall be made within 10 days after such determination. Indemnitee shall cooperate with the person, persons or entity making the |
6
determination with respect to Indemnitees entitlement to indemnification, including providing to such person, persons or entity upon reasonable advance request any documentation or information that is not privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure and that is reasonably available to Indemnitee and reasonably necessary to such determination. Any costs or expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements) reasonably incurred by Indemnitee in so cooperating with the person, persons or entity making such determination shall be borne by the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law. |
(c) |
In the event the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Counsel pursuant to Section 10(b), the Independent Counsel shall be selected as provided in this Section 10(c). The Independent Counsel shall be selected by Indemnitee (unless Indemnitee shall request that such selection be made by the Companys board of directors, in which event the Company shall give written notice to Indemnitee advising him or her of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected), and Indemnitee shall give written notice to the Company advising it of the identity of the Independent Counsel so selected. In either event, Indemnitee or the Company, as the case may be, may, within 10 days after such written notice of selection shall have been given, deliver to the Company or to Indemnitee, as the case may be, a written objection to such selection; provided, however, that such objection may be asserted only on the ground that the Independent Counsel so selected does not meet the requirements of Independent Counsel as defined in Section 1 of this Agreement, and the objection shall set forth with particularity the factual basis of such assertion. Absent a proper and timely objection, the person so selected shall act as Independent Counsel. If such written objection is so made and substantiated, the Independent Counsel so selected may not serve as Independent Counsel unless and until such objection is withdrawn or a court has determined that such objection is without merit. If, within 20 days after the later of (i) submission by Indemnitee of a written request for indemnification pursuant to Section 10(a) hereof and (ii) the final disposition of the Proceeding, the parties have not agreed upon an Independent Counsel, either the Company or Indemnitee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for resolution of any objection which shall have been made by the Company or Indemnitee to the others selection of Independent Counsel and for the appointment as Independent Counsel of a person selected by the court or by such other person as the court shall designate, and the person with respect to whom all objections are so resolved or the person so appointed shall act as Independent Counsel under Section 10(b) hereof. Upon the due commencement of any judicial proceeding or arbitration pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Independent Counsel shall be discharged and relieved of any further responsibility in such capacity (subject to the applicable standards of professional conduct then prevailing). |
(d) |
The Company agrees to pay the fees and expenses of any Independent Counsel and to fully indemnify such counsel against any and all Expenses, claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto. |
11. |
Presumptions and Effect of Certain Proceedings. |
(a) |
In making a determination with respect to entitlement to indemnification hereunder, the person, persons or entity making such determination shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, presume that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement if Indemnitee has submitted a request for indemnification in accordance with Section 10(a) of this Agreement, and the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proof to overcome that presumption in connection with the making by such person, persons or entity of any determination contrary to that presumption. |
(b) |
The termination of any Proceeding or of any claim, issue or matter therein, by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) of itself create a presumption that Indemnitee did not act in good faith and in a manner which he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company or, with respect to any criminal Proceeding, that Indemnitee had reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. |
7
(c) |
For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith to the extent Indemnitee relied in good faith on (i) the records or books of account of the Enterprise, including financial statements, (ii) information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Enterprise in the course of their duties, (iii) the advice of legal counsel for the Enterprise or its board of directors or counsel selected by any committee of the board of directors or (iv) information or records given or reports made to the Enterprise by an independent certified public accountant, an appraiser, investment banker or other expert selected with reasonable care by the Enterprise or its board of directors or any committee of the board of directors. The provisions of this Section 11(c) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement. |
(d) |
Neither the knowledge, actions nor failure to act of any other director, officer, agent or employee of the Enterprise shall be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement. |
12. |
Remedies of Indemnitee. |
(a) |
Subject to Section 12(e), in the event that (i) a claim under this Agreement is not paid in full by the Company within (A) sixty (60) days after a written claim for indemnification has been received by the Company(B) twenty (20) days after a claim for an advancement of expenses has been received by the Company or (ii) the Company or any other person or entity takes or threatens to take any action to declare this Agreement void or unenforceable, or institutes any litigation or other action or proceeding designed to deny, or to recover from, Indemnitee the benefits provided or intended to be provided to Indemnitee hereunder, Indemnitee shall be entitled to an adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his or her option, may seek an award in arbitration with respect to his or her entitlement to such indemnification or advancement of Expenses, to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 12(a); provided, however, that the foregoing clause shall not apply in respect of a proceeding brought by Indemnitee to enforce his or her rights under Section 4 of this Agreement. The Company shall not oppose Indemnitees right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration in accordance with this Agreement. |
(b) |
Neither (i) the failure of the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders to have made a determination that indemnification of Indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because Indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor (ii) an actual determination by the Company, its board of directors, any committee or subgroup of the board of directors, Independent Counsel or stockholders that Indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Indemnitee has or has not met the applicable standard of conduct. In the event that a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification, any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 shall be conducted in all respects as a de novo trial, or arbitration, on the merits, and Indemnitee shall not be prejudiced by reason of that adverse determination. In any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, the Company shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, have the burden of proving Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification or advancement of Expenses, as the case may be. |
(c) |
To the fullest extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall be precluded from asserting in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12 that the procedures and presumptions of this Agreement are not valid, binding and enforceable and shall stipulate in any such court or before any such arbitrator that the Company is bound by all the provisions of this |
8
Agreement. If a determination shall have been made pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement that Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification, the Company shall be bound by such determination in any judicial proceeding or arbitration commenced pursuant to this Section 12, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitees statements not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law. |
(d) |
To the extent not prohibited by law, the Company shall indemnify Indemnitee against all Expenses that are incurred by Indemnitee in connection with any action for indemnification or advancement of Expenses from the Company under this Agreement or under any directors and officers liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to the extent Indemnitee is successful in such action, and, if requested by Indemnitee, shall (as soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event no later than 60 days, after receipt by the Company of a written request therefor) advance such Expenses to Indemnitee, subject to the provisions of Section 8. Such advances shall be subject to Indemnitees agreement to repay the sums advanced if the court (or arbitrator) finds that each material argument or defense advanced by Indemnitee in such action or arbitration was either frivolous or not made in good faith. |
(e) |
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no determination as to entitlement to indemnification shall be required to be made prior to the final disposition of the Proceeding. |
13. |
Contribution. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, if the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is unavailable to Indemnitee, the Company, in lieu of indemnifying Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amounts incurred by Indemnitee, whether for Expenses, judgments, fines or amounts paid or to be paid in settlement, in connection with any claim relating to an indemnifiable event under this Agreement, in such proportion as is deemed fair and reasonable in light of all of the circumstances of such Proceeding in order to reflect (i) the relative benefits received by the Company and Indemnitee as a result of the events and transactions giving rise to such Proceeding; and (ii) the relative fault of Indemnitee and the Company (and its other directors, officers, employees and agents) in connection with such events and transactions. |
14. |
Non-exclusivity. The rights of indemnification and to receive advancement of Expenses as provided by this Agreement shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which Indemnitee may at any time be entitled under applicable law, the Companys certificate of incorporation or bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or a resolution of directors, or otherwise. To the extent that a change in Delaware law, whether by statute or judicial decision, permits greater indemnification or advancement of Expenses than would be afforded currently under the Companys certificate of incorporation and bylaws and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by such change, subject to the restrictions expressly set forth herein or therein. Except as expressly set forth herein, no right or remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every other right and remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other right or remedy. |
15. |
Primary Responsibility. The Company hereby acknowledges that Indemnitee may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by The Blackstone Group Inc., Summit Partners, L.P., Fortress Investment Group LLC and/or certain of their respective affiliates (collectively, the Fund Indemnitors). The Company hereby agrees (i) that, as between the Company and the Fund Indemnitors, the Company is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to Indemnitee are primary and any obligation of the Fund Indemnitors to advance Expenses or to provide indemnification for the same Expenses or liabilities incurred by Indemnitee are secondary), (ii) that the Company shall be required to advance the full amount of Expenses incurred by Indemnitee and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted and as required by the terms of this Agreement and the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company (or any other agreement between the Company and Indemnitee), without regard to any rights |
9
Indemnitee may have against the Fund Indemnitors, and, (iii) that the Company irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Fund Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Fund Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Company further agrees that no advancement or payment by the Fund Indemnitors on behalf of Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Company shall affect the foregoing and the Fund Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee against the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that the Fund Indemnitors are express third party beneficiaries of the terms of this Section 15. |
16. |
No Duplication of Payments. Subject to Section 15, the Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder (or for which advancement is provided hereunder) if and to the extent that Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment for such amounts under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (i) Indemnitee shall have no obligation to reduce, offset, allocate, pursue or apportion any indemnification, hold harmless, exoneration, advancement, contribution or insurance coverage among multiple parties possessing such duties to Indemnitee prior to the Companys satisfaction and performance of all its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) the Company shall perform fully its obligations under this Agreement without regard to whether Indemnitee holds, may pursue or has pursued any indemnification, advancement, hold harmless, exoneration, contribution or insurance coverage rights against any person or entity other than the Company. |
17. |
Insurance. To the extent that the Company maintains an insurance policy or policies providing liability insurance for directors, trustees, general partners, managing members, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries of the Company or any other Enterprise, Indemnitee shall be covered by such policy or policies to the same extent as the most favorably-insured persons under such policy or policies in a comparable position. |
18. |
Subrogation. In the event of any payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers required and take all action necessary to secure such rights, including execution of such documents as are necessary to enable the Company to bring suit to enforce such rights. |
19. |
Services to the Company. Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company, as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another Enterprise, for so long as Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation or is removed from such position. Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) and Indemnitee. Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise) is at will, and Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any Enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Companys board of directors or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, the Companys certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the DGCL. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof. |
20. |
Duration. This Agreement shall continue until and terminate upon the later of (a) ten years after the date that Indemnitee shall have ceased to serve as a director or officer of the Company or as a director, trustee, general partner, managing member, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of any other Enterprise, as applicable; or (b) one year after the final termination of any Proceeding, including any appeal, then pending in respect of which Indemnitee is granted rights of indemnification or advancement of Expenses hereunder and of any proceeding commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement relating thereto. |
10
21. |
Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, and shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee and Indemnitees heirs, executors and administrators. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, by written agreement, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. In the event of a Corporate Transaction, a Liquidation Transaction or the Company becoming insolvent (including being placed into receivership or entering the federal bankruptcy process and the like), the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to maintain in force for a period of 6 years thereafter any and all insurance policies then maintained by the Company in providing insurance (including directors and officers liability, fiduciary, employment practices or otherwise) in respect of Indemnitee, (ii) to obtain substantially equivalent coverage for a period of 6 years thereafter for the benefit of Indemnitee, or (iii) to obtain an extension of the claims reporting period under the polices referenced in (i) or (ii) for a period of 6 years thereafter (such extension, a Tail Policy). Such coverage shall be substantially comparable in scope and amount as the expiring policies, and the insurance carriers shall have an AM Best rating that is the same or better than the AM Best ratings of the insurance carriers under the expiring policies. |
22. |
Severability. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to require or shall be construed as requiring the Company to do or fail to do any act in violation of applicable law. The Companys inability, pursuant to court order or other applicable law, to perform its obligations under this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason whatsoever: (i) the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law; (ii) such provision or provisions shall be deemed reformed to the extent necessary to conform to applicable law and to give the maximum effect to the intent of the parties hereto; and (iii) to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, each portion of any section of this Agreement containing any such provision held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, illegal or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested thereby. |
23. |
Enforcement. The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on it hereby in order to induce Indemnitee to serve as a director or officer of the Company, and the Company acknowledges that Indemnitee is relying upon this Agreement in serving as a director or officer of the Company. The Company and Indemnitee agree that a monetary remedy for breach of this Agreement may be inadequate, impracticable and difficult of proof, and further agree that such breach may cause Indemnitee irreparable harm. Accordingly, the parties hereto agree that Indemnitee may enforce this Agreement by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance hereof, without any necessity of showing actual damage or irreparable harm and that by seeking injunctive relief and/or specific performance, Indemnitee shall not be precluded from seeking or obtaining any other relief to which he may be entitled. The Company and Indemnitee further agree that Indemnitee shall be entitled to such specific performance and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and permanent injunctions, without the necessity of posting bonds or other undertaking in connection therewith. The Company acknowledges that in the absence of a waiver, a bond or undertaking may be required of Indemnitee by the Court, and the Company hereby waives any such requirement of a bond or undertaking. |
24. |
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral, written and implied, between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided, however, that this Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Companys certificate of incorporation and bylaws and applicable law. |
11
25. |
Modification and Waiver. No supplement, modification or amendment to this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties hereto. No amendment, alteration or repeal of this Agreement shall adversely affect any right of Indemnitee under this Agreement in respect of any action taken or omitted by such Indemnitee in his or her Corporate Status prior to such amendment, alteration or repeal. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement nor shall any waiver constitute a continuing waiver. |
26. |

Except with respect to any arbitration commenced by Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12(a) of this Agreement, the Company and Indemnitee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (i) agree that any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought only in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and not in any other state or federal court in the United States of America or any court in any other country, (ii) consent to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery for purposes of any action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, (iii) appoint, to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, [] as its agent in the State of Delaware as such partys agent for acceptance of legal process in connection with any such action or proceeding against such party with the same legal force and validity as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware, (iv) waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in the Delaware Court of Chancery, and (v) waive, and agree not to plead or to make, any claim that any such action or proceeding brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery has been brought in an improper or inconvenient forum. |
28. |
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in counterparts, each of which shall for all purposes be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. Only one such counterpart signed by the party against whom enforceability is sought needs to be produced to evidence the existence of this Agreement. |

After the consummation of the merger, holders of Vivint Smart Home common stock immediately prior to the merger and holders of outstanding Rollover Restricted Stock immediately following the merger received the contingent right to receive earnout shares and holders of Rollover Equity Awards (other than Rollover Restricted Stock) immediately following the merger are entitled to an increase in the value of their awards if, from the consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds certain thresholds. The first issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds $12.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The second issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume-weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds $15.00 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The third issuance of earnout shares will occur if the volume weighted average price of Common Stock exceeds $17.50 for any 20 trading days within any 30 trading day period. The price targets and the number of earnout shares issued shall be equitably adjusted for any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination or exchange of shares, or any similar event affecting Common Stock. If such targets are achieved, such holders will receive, in aggregate, 12,500,000 Common Stock on the achievement of each target (or in the case of holders of Rollover Equity Awards, an equivalent increase in value of such awards) based on their proportional holding of such stock or awards immediately prior to the merger. Vivint Smart Home has preliminarily concluded that the earnout shares are equity classified awards, and are presented as so in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet. The impact of the earnout shares is not expected to be material on the future results of operations of New Vivint. In the event the $12.50 earnout target is achieved, the maximum potential value of the 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock issued related to this earnout would be $156,250,000. In the event the $15.00 earnout target is achieved, the maximum potential value of the 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock related to this earnout would be an additional $187,500,000. In the event the $17.50 earnout target is achieved, the maximum potential value of the 12,500,000 shares of Common Stock related to this earnout would be an additional $218,750,000. The issuance of such earnout shares would dilute the value of all Common Stock outstanding at that time. Based on the current capitalization structure, immediately after merger, the 12,500,000 shares issued associated with the $12.50 earnout threshold would represent 7% of total shares outstanding. If the $15.00 earnout threshold were achieved, the 25,000,000 total shares issued associated with these earnouts would represent 14% of total shares outstanding. If the $17.50 earnout threshold were achieved, the 37,500,000 total shares issued associated with these earnouts would represent 20% of total shares outstanding. As none of the $12.50, $15.00 or $17.50 earnout targets have been achieved, Vivint Smart Home has not reflected these earnout shares in its pro forma financial information.
The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements to give pro forma effect to events that are: (i) directly attributable to the merger; (ii) factually supportable; and (iii) with respect to the statement of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on Mosaics results following the completion of the merger.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with:
|
the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements; |
|
the (i) historical audited financial statements of Mosaic as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) historical condensed unaudited financial statements of Mosaic as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes, in each case, included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; |
|
the (i) historical audited consolidated financial statements of Vivint Smart Home as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 and (ii) historical condensed unaudited combined consolidated financial statements of Vivint Smart Home as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes, in each case, included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/ prospectus; and |
|
other information relating to Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home contained in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus, including the merger agreement and the description of certain terms thereof set forth under The Merger. |
Pursuant to Mosaics amended and restated certificate of incorporation, public stockholders were offered the opportunity to redeem, upon the closing of the merger, shares of Mosaic Class A common stock then held by them for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit (as of two business days prior to the closing of the merger) in the Trust Account. The unaudited condensed combined pro forma financial statements reflect actual redemption of 31,074,592 shares of Mosaic Class A common stock at a per price share of approximately $10.27. Prior to the close of the merger, Vivint Smart Home, Inc. agreed, in accordance with the merger agreement, to waive the Maximum Redemption Condition.
2
Notwithstanding the legal form of the merger pursuant to the merger agreement, the merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Mosaic is treated as the acquired company and Vivint Smart Home is treated as the acquirer for financial statement reporting purposes. Vivint Smart Home has been determined to be the accounting acquirer based on evaluation of the following facts and circumstances:
|
Vivint Smart Homes existing shareholders have the greatest voting interest in the combined entity, representing approximately 61% voting interest; |
|
the largest individual minority shareholder of the combined entity is an existing shareholder of Vivint Smart Home; |
|
Vivint Smart Homes directors represent the majority of the New Vivint Parent board of directors; |
|
Vivint Smart Homes senior management is the senior management of New Vivint; and |
|
Vivint Smart Home is the larger entity based on historical total assets and revenues. |
On July 31, 2019, in an effort to deliver additional cost savings and cash-flow improvements, Vivint Smart Home completed a spin-off of its wireless internet business. In connection with the spin-off, the equity interests of Vivint Wireless, Inc. were distributed to the shareholders of Vivint Smart Home, Inc. pro rata based on their respective holdings. The spin-off is not believed to be a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on Vivint Smart Homes operations and financial results, and therefore does not qualify as discontinued operations. In addition, the spin-off is not directly attributable to the merger. However, since the wireless internet business will not be present in the financial position or results of operations of the combined company following the merger, the Company has presented in its unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements the effect of the Vivint Wireless, Inc. spin-off, as this information could be useful to investors and readers of the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus.
Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments set forth in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been presented for illustrative purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the operating results and financial position that would have been achieved had the merger occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not purport to project the future operating results or financial position of Mosaic following the completion of the merger. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent managements estimates based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
1. |
Basis of Presentation |
The merger is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Mosaic is treated as the acquired company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the merger is treated as the equivalent of Vivint Smart Home issuing stock for the net assets of Mosaic, accompanied by a recapitalization.
The net assets of Mosaic are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 gives pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had been consummated on September 30, 2019. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 give pro forma effect to the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement as if they had been consummated on January 1, 2018.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
|
Mosaics unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and |
|
Vivint Smart Homes unaudited balance sheet as of September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
|
Mosaics audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and |
|
Vivint Smart Homes audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the related notes included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:
|
Mosaics unaudited statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus; and |
|
Vivint Smart Homes unaudited statement of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 and the related notes included elsewhere in the proxy statement/consent solicitation statement/prospectus. |
The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the merger are based on certain estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are based on information available as of the date of these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and may be revised as additional information becomes available. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the merger.
7
The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the merger and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited condensed pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. The Company believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the merger based on information available to management at the time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the business combination taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home.
2. |
Accounting Policies and Reclassifications |
As part of preparing these unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, certain reclassifications were made to align Mosaic and Vivint Smart Homes financial statement presentation. Upon consummation of the merger, management performed a comprehensive review of the two entities accounting policies. Based on its analysis, management did not identify any differences between the accounting policies of the two entities that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. As a result, the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not assume any differences in accounting policies.
3. |
Vivint Wireless, Inc. Spin-off |
The Company has presented in its unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations the effect of the Vivint Wireless, Inc. spin-off, as the wireless internet business will not be present in the results of operations of the combined company following the merger.
4. |
Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information |
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and has been prepared for informational purposes only. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information to give pro forma effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the merger, (2) factually supportable, and (3) with respect to the statements of operations, expected to have a continuing impact on the results of the post-combination company. Mosaic and Vivint Smart Home have not had any historical relationship prior to the merger. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.
The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had the post-combination company filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

Introduction
Our executive compensation program is designed to attract and retain individuals with the qualifications to manage and lead the Company as well as to motivate them to develop professionally and contribute to the achievement of our financial goals and ultimately create and grow our overall enterprise value.
Our named executive officers (NEOs) for 2019 were:
|
Todd R. Pedersen, our Chief Executive Officer; |
|
Dale R. Gerard, our interim Chief Financial Officer; |
|
Mark J. Davies, our former Chief Financial Officer; |
|
Alex J. Dunn, our President; |
|
Matthew J. Eyring, our Executive Vice President, General Manager of Inside Sales; and |
|
Todd M. Santiago, our Executive Vice President, General Manager of Retail. |
Mr. Davies resigned from his position as the Companys Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Gerard was appointed as interim Chief Financial Officer, effective as of October 14, 2019.
Executive Compensation Objectives and Philosophy
Our primary executive compensation objectives are to:
|
attract, retain and motivate senior management leaders who are capable of advancing our mission and strategy and ultimately, creating and maintaining our long-term equity value. Such leaders must engage in a collaborative approach and possess the ability to execute our business strategy in an industry characterized by competitiveness and growth; |
|
reward senior management in a manner aligned with our financial performance; and |
|
align senior managements interests with our equity owners long-term interests through equity participation and ownership. |
To achieve our objectives, we deliver executive compensation through a combination of the following components:
|
Base salary; |
|
Cash bonus opportunities; |
|
Long-term incentive compensation; |
|
Broad-based employee benefits; |
|
Supplemental executive perquisites; and |
|
Severance benefits. |
1
Base salaries, broad-based employee benefits, supplemental executive perquisites and severance benefits are designed to attract and retain senior management talent. We also use annual cash bonuses and long-term equity awards to promote performance-based pay that aligns the interests of our NEOs with the long-term interests of our equity-owners and to enhance executive retention.
Compensation Determination Process
In 2019, the compensation committee of the board of directors of our subsidiary, APX Group Holdings, Inc. (the APX Group Compensation Committee) assisted the board of directors of APX Group Holdings, Inc. (the APX Group board of directors) in overseeing Vivint Smart Homes executive compensation program. In connection with the closing of the merger, the board of directors of New Vivint formed a new compensation committee (the Committee), which will assist the New Vivint board in overseeing the companys executive compensation program going forward.
Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn generally participated in discussions and deliberations with the APX Group Compensation Committee and the APX Group board of directors regarding the determinations of annual cash incentive awards for our executive officers. Specifically, they made recommendations to the APX Group Compensation Committee and/or the APX Group board of directors regarding the performance factors to be used under our annual bonus plan and the amounts of annual cash incentive awards. Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn did not participate in discussions or determinations regarding their individual compensation. Going forward, we expect that Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn will have the same level of participation in discussions and deliberations with the Committee and the New Vivint board of directors. They will not participate in discussions or determinations regarding their individual compensation.
Role of Compensation Consultant
In December 2018, we engaged FW Cook & Co., Inc. (FW Cook) to advise the APX Group Compensation Committee in 2019 in connection with a review of the employment agreements of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn and make recommendations to the APX Group Compensation Committee on the selection of companies for inclusion in a compensation peer group for 2019 (the Compensation Peer Group).
Use of Competitive Data
We do not target a specific market percentile when making executive compensation decisions; however, we believe that information regarding compensation practices at similar companies is a useful tool to help maintain practices that accomplish our executive compensation objectives. In 2019, as noted above, we engaged FW Cook to assist and make recommendations regarding the selection of companies to be included in the Compensation Peer Group. The constituents of the Compensation Peer Group represent companies operating in broadly similar or related industries that fall within a reasonable range with us in certain metrics, including revenue, EBITDA and total enterprise value. The companies included in the Compensation Peer Group are listed below:
Akamai Technologies | Fitbit | Logitech Intl. | Rollins | |||
Black Knight | Garmin | Match Group | ServiceMaster Global | |||
Endurance Intl. | IMAX Corp. | Nu Skin Enterprises | Waste Management | |||
FireEye | j2 Global | Nuance Communications | Zillow Group |
In 2019, in addition to the Compensation Peer Group data, we reviewed proprietary technology company survey data, size-adjusted to our revenue. The identity of individual companies comprising the survey data is not available to or considered by us in the evaluation process.
2
In 2019, we used the information from both the Compensation Peer Group and the survey data as one factor to determine whether our compensation levels are competitive, and to make any necessary adjustments to reflect executive performance and our performance. As a part of this process, FW Cook measured our target pay levels for the NEOs versus the competitive data within each compensation component and in the aggregate. In order to evaluate the retentive and alignment power of their existing ownership stakes, FW Cook also prepared an analysis of the carried interest levels of our NEOs versus executives serving in similar positions at the Compensation Peer Group.
Going forward, the Committee intends to periodically review the Compensation Peer Group to ensure that it remains an appropriate comparator frame for evaluating our executive compensation practices.
Employment Agreements
On August 7, 2014, Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn entered into employment agreements with us. These employment agreements contained the same material terms as, and superseded, those they had entered into previously with our parent, 313 Acquisition. On March 4, 2019, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn. On March 8, 2016, Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago entered into employment agreements with us. We do not have an employment agreement with Mr. Gerard. A full description of the material terms of each of these employment agreements as in effect during 2019 is discussed below under Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and 2019 Grants of Plan-Based Awards.
Compensation Elements
The following is a discussion and analysis of each component of our executive compensation program:
Base Salary
Annual base salaries compensate our executives, including our NEOs, for fulfilling the requirements of their respective positions and provide them with a predictable and stable level of cash income relative to their total compensation.
The APX Group Compensation Committee believes that the level of an executives base salary should reflect such executives performance, experience and breadth of responsibilities, salaries for similar positions within our industry and any other factors relevant to that particular job. The APX Group Compensation Committee, with the assistance of our Human Resources Department, also used the experience, market knowledge and insight of its members in evaluating the competitiveness of current salary levels.
In the sole discretion of the APX Group Compensation Committee (and going forward, in the sole discretion of the Committee), base salaries for our executives may be periodically adjusted to take into account changes in job responsibilities or competitive pressures.
In consideration of the above, in 2019, the APX Group board of directors determined to increase each NEOs base salary as shown below:

Dale R. Gerard |
412,000 | 532,000 |

The increases in Messrs. Pedersens and Dunns base salaries were made in connection with the amendment and restatement of their respective employment agreements and in consideration of certain changes in the terms of their employment arrangements, including the elimination of an annual payment intended to be used to reimburse the Company for the costs of their personal use of the company airplane, as reflected in their amended and restated employment agreements. The APX Group board of directors determined, at their discretion, to increase Mr. Gerards base salary from $358,182 to $412,000 effective as of April 1, 2019. Effective October 14, 2019, in connection with his appointment as interim Chief Financial Officer, the APX Group Compensation Committee approved an additional $10,000 per month in compensation to increase Mr. Gerards annual base salary to $532,000. The increases in the base salaries of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago reflect a 3% increase in their base salaries approved by the APX Group board of directors.
The Summary Compensation Table and corresponding footnotes to the table show the base salary earned by each NEO during fiscal 2019 as well as the base salary adjustments for each of our NEOs made during fiscal 2019.
Bonuses
Cash bonus opportunities are available to various managers, directors and executives, including our NEOs, to motivate their achievement of short-term performance goals and tie a portion of their cash compensation to performance.
Fiscal 2019 Management Bonus
On March 4, 2019, the APX Group board of directors adopted an Incentive Compensation Plan (the Cash Bonus Plan). Our Cash Bonus Plan allows the APX Group Compensation Committee to provide annual cash incentive awards to selected employees, including our NEOs, based upon performance goals established by the APX Group Compensation Committee. The Cash Bonus Plan is described in the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation/Prospectus under Management of Vivint Smart HomeExecutive CompensationCompensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation Actions Taken in 2019Incentive Compensation Plan and such description is incorporated herein by reference.
In 2019, pursuant to the Cash Bonus Plan, the NEOs were eligible to receive an annual cash incentive award, 75% of which was based on achievements of performance objectives determined by the APX Group Compensation Committee. As provided in their respective employment agreements, the target bonus amount for each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn was 100% of his base salary at the end of the performance period minus $300,000 and the target bonus amount for each of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago was 60% of his base salary at the end of the performance period; the target bonus amount for Mr. Gerard was 50% of his salary earned during the performance period. In connection with his departure from the Company in October 2019, Mr. Davies forfeited his annual cash incentive award.
To ensure the focus and accountability of the NEOs on and for their varying responsibilities within the organization, the APX Group Compensation Committee determined to apply different performance measures depending on the NEOs responsibilities. For the NEOs at the corporate level (Messrs. Pedersen, Dunn, Davies and Gerard), 75% of the bonus opportunity was based on company-wide goals. For the NEOs who are heads of our business units (BUs) (Messrs. Eyring and Santiago), 60% of the bonus opportunity was based on business unit specific goals and 15% of the bonus opportunity was based on company-wide goals. For all of the NEOs, 25% of the bonus opportunity was discretionary as the APX Group Compensation Committee determined to retain discretion to reward other Company accomplishments not anticipated at the beginning of the year.
The actual bonus amounts to be paid to the NEOs at the corporate level (other than to Mr. Davies who, as discussed above, forfeited his award in connection with his departure from the Company) for fiscal 2019 performance will be calculated by multiplying each NEOs bonus potential target by a weighted achievement factor based on our actual achievement relative to the company-wide performance objectives and the discretionary component. The APX Group Compensation Committee chose performance metrics that are indicators of our strategic growth and the strength of our overall financial results. The company-wide performance objectives were company-wide Adjusted EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non-cash compensation, MDR fees, and certain other non-recurring expenses or gains) (15% of the total award opportunity) and the weighted average of the business unit-level performance objectives, as described in greater detail below (60% of the total award opportunity).
4
The business unit performance objectives consisted of EBITDA lifetime value growth (defined as the product of New Subscribers, Service Margin and Average Customer Life, plus LTV upgrade revenues, less Net Subscriber Acquisition Costs and Customer Financing Fees), Service Cost (defined as the average monthly service costs incurred during the period (both period and capitalized service costs), including monitoring, customer service, field service and other service support costs, less total non-recurring Smart Home Services billings for the period divided by average monthly Total Subscribers for the same period), Attrition (defined as the aggregate number of cancelled smart home and security subscribers during the prior 12 month period divided by the monthly weighted average number of Total Subscribers based on the Total Subscribers at the beginning and end of each month of a given period. Subscribers are considered canceled when they terminate in accordance with the terms of their contract, are terminated by us or if payment from such subscribers is deemed uncollectible. If a sale of a service contract to third parties occurs, or a subscriber relocates but continues their service, we do not consider this as a cancellation. If a subscriber transfers their service contract to a new subscriber, we do not consider this as a cancellation) and the achievement of certain milestones associated with business unit initiatives. The achievement factor with respect to the business unit objectives for the NEOs at the corporate level will be calculated as the weighted average of (1) the weighted average of the achievement factors associated with the actual achievement of our Direct to Home, Inside Sales and Customer Experience business units against the EBITDA lifetime value growth targets for such business units (44% of the total award opportunity), (2) the achievement factor associated with the actual achievement of our Customer Experience business unit against the Service Cost target (6% of the total award opportunity), (3) the achievement factor associated with the actual achievement of our Customer Experience business unit against the Attrition target (4% of the total award opportunity), (4) the weighted average of the achievement factors associated with the actual achievement of our Retail and Customer Experience business units against certain milestones, as described in greater detail below (6% of the total award opportunity).
The table below sets forth the weighting of each component of the annual incentive award opportunity for the NEOs at the corporate level:

Company-wide Adjusted EBITDA |
15 | % | ||

Total |

The achievement factor with respect to the company-wide Adjusted EBITDA component will be determined by calculating our actual achievement against the company-wide Adjusted EBITDA performance target based on the pre-established scale set forth in the following table:

Based on the pre-established scale set forth above, no cash incentive amount will be paid to the NEOs with respect to the company-wide Adjusted EBITDA component of the award unless our actual performance for 2019 was at or above 95% of the performance target. If performance was 120% or more of the performance target, then the achievement factor with respect to the company-wide Adjusted EBITDA component of the award will be a maximum of 300%. For performance percentages between the levels set forth in the table above, the resulting achievement factor will be adjusted on a linear basis. The company-wide Adjusted EBITDA performance target for 2019 was $410 million.
The achievement factor with respect to the business unit-level performance objective components will be determined by calculating the weighted average of our business units actual achievement against the targets set for such business units. For our Direct to Home, Inside Sales and Customer Experience business units, the achievement factors will be based on the pre-established scale set forth in the following table:

Represents the percentage of total bonus for the respective business unit. |
For performance percentages between the levels set forth in the table above at each of the business units, the resulting achievement factor will be adjusted on a linear basis. The Committee believes that the Direct to Home, Inside Sales and Customer Experience performance targets provided reasonably achievable, but challenging, goals for the participants at those business units.
The achievement factor associated with the performance of our Retail business unit will be based on such business units accomplishment of certain key milestones related to subscriber growth from expansion into additional retail partners and lead generation sources, achieving certain cost and cash flow targets, and achieving stated milestones associated with new products and channels.
These milestones were not assigned any particular weightings. Accordingly, the Committee will determine the achievement factor based on the overall achievement of our Retail business unit against the various key milestones, with the weighting of the milestones determined in the Committees discretion. The Committee believes that the Retail business unit performance objectives provided reasonably achievable, but challenging, goals for Mr. Santiago and other participants at the Retail business unit.
No cash incentive amount will be paid to the NEOs at the corporate level with respect to the business unit component of the award unless at least one business units actual achievement was at or above the minimum level of performance corresponding to an achievement factor above 0 with respect to at least one of such business units targets. The achievement factor associated with the business unit component of the award will be a maximum of 300% for significant outperformance.
6
The actual bonus amounts to be paid to Mr. Eyring for fiscal 2019 performance will be calculated by multiplying his bonus potential target by a weighted achievement factor based on our actual achievement relative to the company-wide Adjusted EBITDA objective, the achievement of our Inside Sales business unit relative to the Inside Sales performance objectives, as described in greater detail above, and the discretionary component.
The table below sets forth the weighting of each component of the annual incentive award opportunity for Mr. Eyring:

The actual bonus amounts to be paid to Mr. Santiago for fiscal 2019 performance will be calculated by multiplying his bonus potential target by a weighted achievement factor based on our actual achievement relative to company-wide Adjusted EBITDA objective, the achievement of our Retail business unit relative to the Retail performance objectives, as described in greater detail above, and the discretionary component.

We have not yet calculated our actual performance for 2019. We expect to do so, and to determine the amounts to be paid to the NEOs with respect to the 2019 annual cash incentive awards, in March 2020. In connection with his departure from the Company in October 2019, Mr. Davies forfeited his 2019 annual cash incentive award.
Sign-On Bonuses
From time to time, we may award sign-on bonuses in connection with the commencement of an NEOs employment with us. Sign-on bonuses are used only when necessary to attract highly skilled individuals to the Company. Generally, sign-on bonuses are used to incentivize candidates to leave their current employers or may be used to offset the loss of unvested compensation they may forfeit as a result of leaving their current employers.
Long-Term Incentive Compensation
313 Acquisition Equity Awards
313 Acquisition LLC (313 Acquisition), an entity controlled by investment funds or vehicles affiliated with Blackstone, granted long-term equity incentive awards designed to promote our interest by providing these executives with the opportunity to acquire equity interests as an incentive for their remaining in our service and aligning the executives interests with those of the Companys ultimate equity holders. The long-term equity incentive awards were in the form of class B units in 313 Acquisition (the Class B Units).
7
The Class B Units were profits interests having economic characteristics similar to stock appreciation rights and represented the right to share in any increase in the equity value of 313 Acquisition. Therefore, the Class B Units only had value to the extent there was an appreciation in the value of our business from and after the applicable date of grant. In addition, the vesting of two-thirds of the Class B Units were initially subject to Blackstone achieving minimum internal rates of return and multiples on invested capital on its investment in Class A units of 313 Acquisition (Class A Units), as described further below.
The Class B Units granted to our NEOs were designed to motivate them to focus on efforts that would increase the value of our equity while enhancing their retention. The specific sizes of the equity grants made were determined in light of Blackstones practices with respect to management equity programs at other private companies in its portfolio and the executive officers position and level of responsibility with us.
The Class B Units were initially divided into a time-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), and a 3.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted). In June 2018, the APX Group board of directors and the board of managers of 313 Acquisition approved a modification to the vesting terms of the Class B Units (the Modification), designed to motivate and retain our employees and align their interests with the interests of the Company. Following such modification, the Class B Units were divided into two time-vesting portions (each one-third of the Class B Units granted) and a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted). Unvested Class B Units were not entitled to distributions from the Company. The incremental fair value in connection with this modification is reflected in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2018. For additional information regarding our Class B Units, see Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards-Equity Awards.
The initial award of Class B Units granted to Mr. Davies in connection with the commencement of his employment in 2013 contained the following different economic terms: Mr. Davies Class B Units would not entitle him to receive any distributions in respect of such units unless and until the cumulative value of such foregone distributions attributable to each Class B Unit equaled the fair market value of a Class B Unit on the date of the grant of such Class B Unit (such foregone amount, the Delayed Amount Per Class B Unit). At that point, Mr. Davies (together with the other holders of Class B Units subject to similar foregone distributions) would become entitled to receive pro rata distributions of all subsequent amounts (to the exclusion of other holders who did not have similar rights) until he had received distributions per Class B Unit equal to the Delayed Amount Per Class B Unit. Thereafter, Mr. Davies would become entitled to receive the same amounts with respect to his Class B Units as other holders of Class B Units receive with respect to their Class B Units. In connection with his departure from the Company in October 2019, Mr. Davies forfeited his unvested Class B Units and the Company did not exercise any call rights associated with his vested Class B Units.
Another key component of our long-term equity incentive program was that at the time of Blackstones acquisition of Vivint Smart Home (the 2012 Blackstone Acquisition), certain of our NEOs and other eligible employees were provided with the opportunity to invest in Class A Units on the same general terms as Blackstone and other co-investors. The Class A Units are equity interests, have economic characteristics that are similar to those of shares of common stock in a corporation and have no vesting schedule. We consider this investment opportunity an important part of our long-term equity incentive program because it encourages equity ownership and aligns the NEOs financial interests with those of our ultimate equity holders. Each of Messrs. Pedersen, Gerard, Dunn and Santiago, when presented with the opportunity, chose to invest in Class A Units.
Vivint Group, Inc. Stock Appreciation Rights
The Companys indirect subsidiary, Vivint Group, Inc. (Vivint Group), awarded Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs), representing the right to share in any increase in the equity value of Vivint Group, to Mr. Gerard, pursuant to the Vivint Group, Inc. Amended and Restated 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Vivint Group Plan). The purpose of the SARs was to attract and retain personnel and provide an opportunity to acquire an equity interest of Vivint Group. The SARs were subject to vesting conditions, consistent with the Class B Units referenced above.
8
In connection with the merger in January 2020, the Class B Units and SARs held by our NEOs were treated as discussed below under Treatment of Equity Incentive Awards in Connection with the Merger.
2018 Retention Awards
In 2018, we approved a retention program designed to motivate and retain our employees. Pursuant to this program the APX Group Compensation Committee approved the grant of retention awards to Messrs. Davies, Eyring, Santiago and Gerard.
Mr. Gerard was granted a retention award in the amount of $1.0 million, payable as follows: (i) $333,333.33 payable in June 2018; (ii) $333,333.33 payable in June 2019; and (iii) $333,333.34 payable in June 2020, subject to continued employment and good standing with the Company or its subsidiaries through each payment date. Each of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago was granted a retention award in the amount of $2.5 million, payable as follows: (i) $833,333.33 payable in August 2018; (ii) $833,333.33 payable in August 2019; and (iii) $833,333.34 payable in August 2020, subject to continued employment and good standing with the Company or its subsidiaries through each payment date.
If Messrs. Gerards, Davies, Eyrings, or Santiagos employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in his employment agreement or retention award agreement, as applicable), including due to death or disability, prior to any remaining payment date, he will receive the full remaining amount of the retention award, payable within two and one half months following his termination date subject to his (or his estates, as applicable), execution of an effective release of claims in favor of the Company. He will not be entitled to receive any remaining amount of his retention award if (i) he terminates his employment with the Company for any reason, or (ii) his employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, in either case at any time prior to the applicable eligibility date set forth above.
Benefits and Perquisites
We provide to all of our employees, including our NEOs, employee benefits that are intended to attract and retain employees while providing them with retirement and health and welfare security. Broad-based employee benefits include:
|
a 401(k) savings plan; |
|
paid vacation, sick leave and holidays; |
|
medical, dental, vision and life insurance coverage; and |
|
employee assistance program benefits. |
All participants are eligible for matching under our 401(k) savings plan. Under this matching program, we match an employees contributions to the 401(k) savings plan dollar-for-dollar up to 1% of such employees eligible earnings and $0.50 for every $1.00 for the next 5% of such employees eligible earnings. The maximum match available under the 401(k) plan is 3.5% of the employees eligible earnings. For employees who have been employed by us for less than two years, matching contributions vest on the second anniversary of their date of hire. Our matching contributions to our employees who have been employed by us for two years or more are always fully vested.
At no cost to the employee, we provide an amount of basic life insurance and basic accidental death and dismemberment insurance valued at 1x times their basic annual earnings up to a maximum of $250,000 ($50,000 minimum).
We also provide our NEOs with specified perquisites and personal benefits that are not generally available to all employees, such as personal use of our Company leased aircraft (subject to the terms and limits set forth in our corporate aircraft policy), use of a company vehicle, financial advisory services, reimbursement for health insurance premiums, enhanced employee cafeteria benefits, country club memberships, excess liability insurance premiums, alarm system fees, event tickets, fuel expenses, relocation assistance and, in certain circumstances, reimbursement for personal travel. In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, perquisites have included personal use of Company personnel, however Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn
9
reimburse the Company for the full costs of such personal use. Each of Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn were also provided with an annual fringe benefit allowance of $300,000 under the previous terms of their employment agreements, which were amended and restated March 4, 2019. Under their amended and restated employment agreements, Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn no longer receive such fringe benefit allowance. We also reimburse our NEOs for taxes incurred in connection with certain of these perquisites.
With respect to event tickets, we believe there is no incremental cost to us associated with the personal use by our NEOs and their guests of (i) tickets to various sporting and entertainment events that we have acquired at no additional cost in connection with our corporate sponsorships of various organizations (ii) our corporate suite at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah, which is leased for business-related entertainment and paid for seasonally rather than individually by event or (iii) other tickets to various sporting and entertainment events that are paid for seasonally rather than individually by event. Accordingly, no amounts other than reimbursement for taxes incurred related to these items are included in the compensation of our NEOs in the Summary Compensation Table below.
In addition, we have entered into time-sharing agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, governing their personal use of the Company leased aircraft. Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn pay for personal flights an amount equal to the aggregate variable cost to the Company for such flights, up to the maximum authorized by Federal Aviation Regulations. The aggregate variable cost for this purpose includes fuel costs, out-of-town hangar costs, landing fees, airport taxes and fees, customs fees, travel expenses of the crew, any deadhead segments of flights to reposition corporate aircraft and other related rental fees. In addition, family members and friends of our NEOs have, in limited circumstances, accompanied the NEOs on business travel on the Company leased aircraft for which we have generally incurred de minimis incremental costs.
We provide these perquisites and personal benefits in order to further our goal of attracting and retaining our executive officers. The aggregate incremental cost to the Company of these benefits and perquisites are reflected in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table and the accompanying footnote in accordance with the SEC rules.
Severance Arrangements
Our board of directors believes that providing severance benefits to our NEOs is critical to our long-term success, because severance benefits act as a retention device that helps secure an executives continued employment and dedication to the Company. Messrs. Pedersen, Dunn, Davies, Eyring and Santiago have severance arrangements, which are included in their employment agreements. Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn are eligible to receive severance benefits if their employment is terminated for any reason other than voluntary resignation or willful misconduct. The severance payments to our NEOs are contingent upon the affected executives execution of a release and waiver of claims, which contains non-compete, non-solicitation and confidentiality provisions. See Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control for descriptions of these arrangements.
Messrs. Eyring and Santiago are eligible to receive severance benefits if their employment is terminated by us without cause (as defined below under Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based AwardsEmployment Agreements and Compensation Discussion and AnalysisCompensation ElementsBonuses2018 Retention Awards) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled. See Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control for descriptions of these arrangements.
Mr. Davies resigned from his position as the Companys Chief Financial Officer, effective October 14, 2019. Mr. Davies did not receive any severance or other benefit payments as a result of his departure.
Treatment of Equity Incentive Awards in Connection with the Merger
Vesting/ Modifications. As of immediately prior to the effective time, 313 Acquisition and Vivint Smart Home modified the vesting schedule of each Company Group Class B Unit (as defined in the merger agreement) and Company Group SAR (as defined in the merger agreement) that would currently vest if Blackstone receives cash proceeds in respect of its Class A Units equal to 2.0x Blackstones cumulative invested capital in respect of the Class A Units at such time (the 2.0x Company Group Equity Awards) such that each 2.0x Company Group Equity Award will instead vest, subject to the holders continued employment on the applicable vesting date (or event), (i) in equal 25% annual installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the closing date of the merger or (ii) if earlier, in full upon either (x) a Change of Control (as defined in the applicable Company Group Stock Plan (as defined in the merger agreement)) or (y) Blackstone receiving cash proceeds in respect of its Class A Units equal to 2.0x Blackstones cumulative invested capital in respect of the Class A Units at such time (the 2.0x Modification).
10
Vested Company Group Class B Units. As of immediately prior to the effective time, each vested Company Group Class B Unit, including those held by our NEOs (other than Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn) and directors, was redeemed by 313 Acquisition for shares of common stock of Vivint Solar, Inc. (VSLR common stock) and Vivint Smart Home common stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Unit so redeemed, in a manner determined by the board of managers of 313 Acquisition (the 313 Board), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans (as defined in the merger agreement) and the limited liability company agreement of 313 Acquisition (the 313 LLCA), assuming a hypothetical liquidation of 313 Acquisition. The number of shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock issued with respect to each vested Company Group Class B Unit in such redemptions was determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock and Vivint Smart Home common stock held by 313 Acquisition as of the effective time. Holders of shares of Vivint Smart Home common stock received in such redemptions were entitled to receive the merger consideration in accordance with the merger agreement. To the extent that the deemed unit price of such vested Company Group Class B Unit was equal to or in excess of the fair market value of a Class A Unit as of the time of such redemptions, such vested Company Group Class B Unit was redeemed for $0.00.
Unvested Company Group Class B Units. As of immediately prior to the effective time, each unvested Company Group Class B Unit, including those held by our NEOs (other than Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn) and directors, was redeemed by 313 Acquisition for a number of shares of Company Restricted Stock, with an equivalent value as the Company Group Class B Units so redeemed, in a manner determined by the 313 Board in accordance with the terms of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, assuming a hypothetical liquidation of 313 Acquisition. Such shares of Company Restricted Stock were subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units, as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification. As of the effective time, each such share of Company Restricted Stock was automatically, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, cancelled and converted into a number of shares of Mosaic Class A Common Stock equal to the exchange ratio, rounded to the nearest whole share of Mosaic Class A common stock (after such conversion, Rollover Restricted Stock and together with the Rollover RSUs and the Rollover SARs, the Rollover Equity Awards). To the extent that the deemed unit price of an unvested Company Group Class B Unit was equal to or in excess of the fair market value of a Class A Unit as of the time of such redemptions, such unvested Company Group Class B Unit was redeemed for $0.00.
Company Group RSUs. As of the effective time, each Company Group RSU (as defined in the merger agreement) held by our directors, to the extent then outstanding and unsettled, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, was automatically cancelled and converted into an RSU entitling the holder thereof to receive upon settlement a number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to such Company Group RSU as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (y) 0.0864152412 (the VGI exchange ratio), rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock (after such conversion, Rollover RSUs).
Company Group SARs. As of the effective time, each Company Group SAR, including those held by Mr. Gerard and our directors, to the extent then outstanding and unexercised, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, was automatically cancelled and converted into a SAR with respect to a number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the product of (x) the number of shares of VGI common stock subject to such Company Group SAR as of immediately prior to the effective time, multiplied by (y) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Mosaic Class A common stock, with a strike price per share of Mosaic Class A common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the per share strike price of such Company Group SAR as of immediately prior to the effective time by (ii) the VGI exchange ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent (after such conversion, Rollover SARs).
11
Rollover Equity Awards. Any shares of Mosaic Class A common stock issuable under Rollover Equity Awards, other than the awards held by Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, are subject to restrictions on transfer until the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, unless otherwise agreed to by Vivint Smart Home and the applicable holder. Each Rollover Equity Award is subject to the Omnibus Incentive Plan (as defined below) and to the same terms and conditions, including, without limitation, any vesting conditions (as modified by the 2.0x Modification), as had applied to the corresponding Company Group Equity Award as of immediately prior to the effective time, except for such terms rendered inoperative by reason of the merger, subject to such adjustments as reasonably determined by the Mosaic board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to give effect to the conversion or the merger. Holders of outstanding Rollover Equity Awards have the contingent right to receive earnout shares, or have the terms and conditions of such Rollover Equity Awards adjusted, if, from the consummation of the merger until the fifth anniversary thereof, the volume-weighted average price of Mosaic Class A common stock exceeds certain thresholds.
Treatment of Equity Awards Held by Messrs. Pedersen, and Dunn. As of immediately prior to the effective time, the Company Group Class B Units, whether or not vested, held by Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn (the Holdback Executives) were converted into a number of Class A Units (the Converted Class A Units), in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Company Group Stock Plans and the 313 LLCA, with an equivalent value and subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Company Group Class B Units (as modified pursuant to the 2.0x Modification). As of immediately following the effective time, the Converted Class A Units held by the Holdback Executives (in addition to any other Class A Units held by the Holdback Executive) were automatically reclassified into a number of vested and unvested units designed to track 313 Acquisitions interests in the VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock, common stock of Vivint Wireless, Inc. (VW) and its other property, in each case held as of the effective time, subject to the same vesting terms and conditions as the corresponding Converted Class A Units, as applicable (the tracking units). The number of each class of tracking unit to be issued to the Holdback Executives was determined on a pro rata basis using the relative value of the shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock and other property held by 313 Acquisition as of immediately following the effective time. On the first anniversary of the closing date of the merger, 10% of any then-vested tracking units held by the Holdback Executives (other than other property tracking units), less any amounts previously sold by, or distributed to, Holdback Executives in connection with sales of shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock by 313 Acquisition, will be redeemed by 313 Acquisition for the shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. Following the second anniversary of the closing date of the merger, upon written request to 313 Acquisition by a Holdback Executive, 313 Acquisition will promptly redeem all (or any portion) of the then-vested tracking units (other than other property tracking units) held by the Holdback Executives for the shares of VSLR common stock, Mosaic Class A common stock and VW common stock underlying such tracking units in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. 313 Acquisition will have no obligation to redeem any other property tracking units at any time and may redeem such tracking units, in its sole discretion, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 313 LLCA. No unvested tracking units held by the Holdback Executives will be redeemed until they become vested.
Adoption of Omnibus Incentive Plan
At the Shareholders Meeting, Mosaics shareholders approved the Vivint Smart Home, Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the Omnibus Incentive Plan). A description of the material terms of the Omnibus Incentive Plan is set forth in the section of the Proxy Statement/Consent Solicitation/Prospectus titled Proposal No. 16-The Incentive Plan Proposal, which is incorporated herein by reference. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Omnibus Incentive Plan, a copy of which is attached as an Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Employment Agreements
Employment Agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn
The employment agreements in effect in 2019 with our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Todd Pedersen, and our President, Alex Dunn, contain substantially similar terms. The principal terms of each of these agreements are summarized below, except with respect to potential payments and other benefits upon specified terminations, which are summarized below under -Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control. We initially entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn on August 7, 2014 (the 2014 Employment Agreements) and we amended and restated these employment agreements on March 4, 2019.
Each amended and restated employment agreement provides for a term ending on March 4, 2022 and extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either party elects not to extend the term. Under the amended and restated employment agreements, each executive is eligible to receive a minimum base salary, specified below, and an annual bonus based on the achievement of specified financial goals as determined by us. If these goals are achieved, the executive may receive an annual incentive cash bonus as provided below.
Mr. Pedersens amended and restated employment agreement provides that he is to serve as CEO and is eligible to receive a base salary originally set at $1,021,200, subject to periodic review and increase, but not decrease. Mr. Pedersen is also eligible to receive a target bonus equal to the sum of (x) 100% of his annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year minus (y) $300,000, if targets established by us are achieved.
Mr. Dunns amended and restated employment agreement provides that he is to serve as President and is eligible to receive a base salary originally set at $1,021,200, subject to periodic review and increase, but not decrease. Mr. Dunn is also eligible to receive a target bonus equal to the sum of (x) 100% of his annual base salary at the end of the fiscal year minus (y) $300,000, if targets established by us are achieved.
In addition, each amended and restated employment agreement provides Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn with annual reimbursements of up to $125,000 in respect of expenses incurred by the executive related to the engagement of a financial advisor by the executive to provide the executive with customary financial advice. Any such reimbursements to the executive will be considered taxable income to the executive and the executive will be entitled to tax gross up payments in respect thereof.
15
Each executive officer is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other executive officers generally.
Each of the amended and restated employment agreements also contains restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of our employees and customers and affiliates at all times during employment, and for two years after any termination of employment. These covenants are substantially the same as the covenants Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn agreed to in connection with their receipt of Class B Units summarized below under -Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based Awards-Equity Awards-Restrictive Covenants.
The amended and restated employment agreements are substantially identical to the 2014 Employment Agreements that were in effect until March 4, 2019, except that:
|
the 2014 Employment Agreements provided for a term ending on November 16, 2017, with automatic extensions for additional one-year periods unless either party elects not to extend the term; |
|

Employment Agreements with Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago
On March 8, 2016, we entered into employment agreements with certain of our officers, including Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago. The employment agreements with Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago contain substantially similar terms. The principal terms of each of these agreements are summarized below.
The employment agreement with each of these NEOs provides for a term ending on March 8, 2019, which extends automatically for additional one-year periods unless either party elects not to extend the term. Under the employment agreements, each executive is eligible to receive a minimum base salary, and an annual bonus award with a target amount equal to a percentage of his base salary. The current annual base salary of each of Messrs. Davies, Eyring and Santiago is $655,636, and each of them is eligible to earn an annual bonus award with a target amount equal to 60% of their base salary at the end of the performance period. If the employment of Messrs. Davies, Eyring or Santiago terminates for any reason, the executive is entitled to receive: (1) any base salary accrued through the date of termination; (2) reimbursement of any unreimbursed business expenses properly incurred by the executive; and (3) such employee benefits, if any, as to which the executive may be entitled under the Companys employee benefit plans (the payments and benefits described in (1) through (3) being accrued rights).
16
If the employment of Messrs. Davies, Eyring or Santiago is terminated by us without cause (as defined below) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled (any such termination, a qualifying termination), such executive is entitled to the accrued rights and, conditioned upon execution and non-revocation of a release and waiver of claims in favor of the Company and its affiliates, and continued compliance with the non-compete, non-solicitation, non-disparagement, and confidentiality provisions set forth in the employment agreements:
|
a pro rata portion of his target annual bonus based upon the portion of the fiscal year during which the executive was employed (the pro rata bonus); |
|
a lump-sum cash payment equal to 150% of the executives then-current base salary plus 150% of the actual bonus the executive received in respect of the immediately preceding fiscal year (or, if a termination of employment occurs prior to any annual bonus becoming payable under his employment agreement, the target bonus for the immediately preceding fiscal year); and |
|
a lump-sum cash payment equal to the cost of the health and welfare benefits for the executive and his dependents, at the levels at which the executive received benefits on the date of termination, for 18 months (the COBRA payment). |
For purposes of their respective employment agreements, the term cause means the executives continued failure to substantially perform his employment duties for a period of 10 days following written notice from the Company; any dishonesty in the performance of the executives employment duties that is materially injurious to the Company; act(s) on the executives part constituting either a felony or a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude; the executives willful malfeasance or misconduct in connection with his employment duties that causes substantial injury to us; or the executives material breach of the restrictive covenants set forth in the employment agreements. Each of the foregoing events is subject to specified notice and cure periods.
In the event of the executives termination of employment due to death or disability, he will only be entitled to the accrued rights, the pro rata bonus payment, and the COBRA payment.
Each executive officer is also entitled to participate in all employee benefit plans, programs and arrangements made available to other executive officers generally.
Each of the employment agreements also contains restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-competition and non-solicitation of the Companys employees and customers and affiliates at all times during employment, and for 18 months after any termination of employment.
Equity Awards
Class B Unit Equity Awards
As a condition to receiving his Class B Units, each NEO was required to enter into a subscription agreement with us and 313 Acquisition and to become a party to the limited liability company agreement of 313 Acquisition as well as a securityholders agreement. These agreements generally govern the NEOs rights with respect to the Class B Units and contain certain rights and obligations of the parties thereto with respect to vesting, governance, distributions, indemnification, voting, transfer restrictions and rights, including put and call rights, tag-along rights, drag-along rights, registration rights and rights of first refusal, and certain other matters.
Vesting Terms
Following the Modification, the Class B Units were divided into two time-vesting portion (each 1/3 of the Class B Units granted) and a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (1/3 of the Class B Units granted). Following the Modification, the time-vesting Class B Units and the 2.0 exit-vesting Class B Units had the following vesting terms:
17
|
Time-Vesting Units: As to one of the time-vesting portions of the Class B Units (representing 1/2 of the time-vesting Class B Units granted), twelve months after the initial vesting reference date, as defined in the applicable subscription agreement, 20% of the NEOs time-vesting Class B Units will vest, subject to continued employment through such date. The vesting reference date for Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn is November 16, 2012, the date of the grant of their Class B Units. The vesting reference date for the Class B Units granted to Messrs. Gerard, Eyring and Santiago on August 12, 2013 is also November 16, 2012 and the vesting reference date for the Class B Units granted to Mr. Davies on March 3, 2014 is November 4, 2013, which is the date he commenced employment with us. The vesting reference date for the Class B Units granted to Messrs. Davies, Eyring, Gerard and Santiago on September 20, 2016 is August 1, 2016 (July 31, 2016 for Mr. Santiago). Thereafter, an additional 20% of the NEOs time-vesting Class B Units will vest every year until he is fully vested, subject to his continued employment through each vesting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, these time-vesting Class B Units will become fully vested upon a change of control (as defined in the securityholders agreement) that occurs while the NEO is still employed by us. In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, these time-vesting Class B Units will also continue to vest for one year following a termination by 313 Acquisition without cause (excluding by reason of death or disability) or resignation by the executive for good reason, each as defined in the executives employment agreement (any such termination, a qualifying termination). As to the other time-vesting portion of the Class B Units (representing 1/2 of the time-vesting Class B Units granted which were originally 3.0x exit-vesting Class B Units which were converted into time-vesting Class B Units in accordance with the Modification), such Class B Units become vested, subject to the applicable participants continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries through the applicable vesting date, with respect to 20% of such Class B Units on each of the first five anniversaries of June 12, 2018; provided, that in the event of a change of control during the applicable participants continued employment with the Company or its subsidiaries, such Class B Units shall, to the extent not then vested or previously forfeited or cancelled, become fully vested. |
|
2.0x Exit-Vesting Units: The 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units vest if the NEO is employed by us when and if Blackstone receives cash proceeds in respect of its Class A Units equal to a return equal to 2.0x Blackstones cumulative invested capital in respect of the Class A Units. In addition, as to Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn, the 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units will remain eligible to vest for one year following a qualifying termination if a change of control occurs during such one-year period and, as a result of such change of control, the 2.0x exit-vesting conditions are met. As to Messrs. Gerard, Davies, Eyring and Santiago, the 2.0x exit-vesting Class B Units will remain eligible to vest for six months following a termination by 313 Acquisition without cause (as defined for the purposes of the employment agreement) and other than by reason of death or while he is disabled if the applicable vesting criteria are satisfied during the six-month period. If the exit-vesting units do not become vested following the end of the six-month period, they will be forfeited without consideration. |
In connection with the merger, the equity awards were treated as described under Compensation Discussion and AnalysisTreatment of Equity Incentive Awards in Connection with the Merger above.
Put Rights
Prior to an initial public offering, if an executive officers employment is terminated due to death or disability, such executive had the right, subject to specified limitations and for a specified period following the termination date, to cause 313 Acquisition to purchase on one occasion all, but not less than all, of such executives vested Class B Units, in either case, at the fair market value of such units. The SARs granted to Mr. Gerard had substantially similar put rights with respect to any equity issued in respect of an exercised SAR; provided, that Mr. Gerards right to put such equity was with respect to the issuer of such equity (which could include, but was not limited to 313 Acquisition). Following the merger, the NEOs no longer have put rights with respect to the Class B Units or the SARs, as applicable.
Call Rights Regarding Messrs. Pedersens and Dunns Class B Units
If Messrs. Pedersen or Dunn were terminated for any reason, or in the event of a restrictive covenant violation, 313 Acquisition (or if 313 Acquisition declined to exercise such right, The Blackstone Group, Inc. (the Sponsor)) had the right, for a specified period following the termination of such executives employment, to purchase all of such executives vested Class B Units as follows:

The SARs granted to Mr. Gerard had substantially similar repurchase rights with respect to any equity issued in respect of an exercised SAR; provided, that (i) the right to repurchase such equity was held by the issuer of the equity (or if such issuer declined to exercise such right, 313 Acquisition or the Sponsor) and (ii) the triggering events with respect to voluntary resignations related to the second anniversary of the vesting start date for such SARs as opposed to the later of November 16, 2014 and the second anniversary of the date of hire. Following the merger, there are no longer call rights with respect to the Class B Units or the SARs, as applicable.
Restrictive Covenants
In addition, as a condition of receiving Class B Units, and in the case of Mr. Gerard, SARs, our executive officers agreed to specified restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-disparagement, non-competition and non-solicitation of our employees and customers and affiliates at all times during the NEOs employment, and for specified periods after any termination of employment as set forth in the subscription agreement (two years for Messrs. Pedersen and Dunn and one-year non-compete and non-solicit periods and a three-year non-disparagement period for each of our other NEOs).

Director Compensation
The members of our board of directors other than David DAlessandro, who was elected to the board of directors in fiscal 2013, and Paul Galant and Joseph S. Tibbetts, Jr., who were elected to the board of directors in October 2015, received no additional compensation for serving on the board of directors or our Audit Committee or APX Group Compensation Committee during 2019.
In connection with the election of each of Messrs. DAlessandro, Galant and Tibbetts, the Company entered into a letter agreement setting forth the compensation terms related to his service on the board of directors. Pursuant to their respective letter agreements, the Company will pay each of them an annual retainer of $150,000 per year, and Messrs. DAlessandro, Galant and Tibbetts will not be eligible for any bonus amounts or be eligible to participate in any of the Companys employee benefit plans.
In addition, in 2013, an affiliate of Mr. DAlessandro was granted 500,000 Class B Units, which are similar to the Class B Units granted to the NEOs. The Class B Units were initially divided into a time-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), a 2.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted), and a 3.0x exit-vesting portion (one-third of the Class B Units granted). The vesting terms of these units, which have a vesting reference date of July 18, 2013, are substantially similar to the Class B Units previously granted to our NEOs and are described under Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Grants of Plan-Based AwardsEquity Awards. Subsequently, in March 2019, 313 Acquisition entered into an agreement with the affiliate of Mr. DAlessandro which provided that the 2.0x exit-vesting portion of the Class B Units and 3.0x exit portion of the Class B Units would be further modified such that (i) the 2.0x exit-vesting portion will instead vest on the earlier to occur of (x) March 4, 2020, and (y) a change of control and (ii) the 3.0x exit-vesting portion will instead vest on the earlier to occur of (x) March 4, 2021, and (y) a change of control, subject, in each case, to Mr. DAlessandro continuing to serve on the board of directors as of such date.

On September 20, 2016, each of Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts was granted an award of SARs pursuant to the Vivint Group Plan covering 84,034 shares of common stock of Vivint Group with a strike price of $1.19 per share, which became vested and exercisable on July 1, 2017. In connection with the spin-off of Vivint Wireless, Inc. in 2019, the strike price of the SARs held by Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts was reduced to $1.1637. Upon exercise of a vested SAR, Vivint Smart Home shall pay the holder an amount in cash, shares of common stock of Vivint Group, shares or units of capital stock of 313 Acquisition or one of 313 Acquisitions majority-owned subsidiaries that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of Vivint Groups capital stock valued at fair market value, or any combination thereof equal to the number of shares subject to such vested SAR which are being exercised, multiplied by the excess of the fair market value of one share over the applicable strike price, and reduced by the aggregate amount of all applicable income and employment taxes required to be withheld.
In addition, on June 8, 2018, each of Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts was granted an award of 180,000 restricted stock units (RSUs) and on March 4, 2019, an affiliate of Mr. DAlessandro was granted an award of 236,111 RSUs, in each case covering an equivalent number of shares of Vivint Group common stock and pursuant to the Vivint Group Plan. The RSUs granted to Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts become vested on each of the first three anniversaries of June 8, 2018. The RSUs granted to the affiliate of Mr. DAlessandro become vested on each of the first three anniversaries of September 20, 2018. Vested RSUs will be settled as soon as reasonably practicable (and, in any event, within two and one-half months) following the earliest to occur of (x) the termination of a directors service other than (1) a removal of such director for Cause (as defined in the Vivint Group Plan) or (2) a resignation of such director at a time when grounds exist for a removal for Cause, (y) a Change of Control (as defined in the Vivint Group Plan) and (z) the fifth anniversary of the grant date. Upon settlement of a vested RSU, Vivint Smart Home shall pay the holder an amount equal to one share of common stock of Vivint Group in cash, shares of common stock of Vivint Group, shares or units of capital stock of 313 Acquisition or one of 313 Acquisitions majority-owned subsidiaries that beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, a majority of the voting power of Vivint Groups capital stock valued at fair market value or any combination thereof. Prior to an initial public offering, if a directors service is terminated due to death or disability, such director has the right, subject to specified limitations and for a specified period following the termination date, to cause the Company to purchase on one occasion all, but not less than all, of such directors vested RSUs, in either case, at the fair market value of such units. In addition, if the directors service is terminated for any reason other than cause or, with respect to the RSUs granted to Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts, a restrictive covenant violation, if the director terminates his service voluntarily when grounds do not exist for a termination with cause or, with respect to Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts, if the director engages in any conduct that would be a violation of a restrictive covenant set forth in the applicable award agreement but for the fact that the conduct occurred outside the relevant periods (any such conduct a Competitive Activity), then the Company has the right, for a specified period following the termination of such directors service, to purchase all of such directors vested RSUs at fair market value.
The award agreements with Messrs. Galant and Tibbetts relating to the RSUs contain specified restrictive covenants, including an indefinite covenant on confidentiality of information, and covenants related to non-disparagement, non-competition and non-solicitation of our employees and subscribers and affiliates at all times during the directors service, and for a one-year period after any termination of his service.
In connection with the merger, the Class B Units, SARs and RSUs held by Messrs. DAlessandro, Galant and Tibbetts were treated as described under Compensation Discussion and AnalysisTreatment of Equity Incentive Awards in Connection with the Proposed Merger.
