(iv) each ordinary share, par value NIS 0.01 of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically and without further action be converted into and become one (1) validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable ordinary share, par value NIS 0.01 per share, of the Surviving Company, which ordinary share shall constitute the only outstanding share capital of the Surviving Company and shall be beneficially owned by Holdco;

 

(b) Except as set forth in this Article 2, any and all options, warrants or other contingent rights to acquire any securities of the Company as of the Effective Time will be cancelled or terminated in connection with the Merger without payment of any consideration therefor.

 

Section 2.04 Certain Adjustments. Without limiting the provisions of this Agreement, if, from the date hereof until the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Ordinary Shares shall have been changed into, or exchanged for, a different number of shares or a different class, by reason of any stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, combination, exchange of shares, or similar transaction, the Merger Consideration and any items on which the calculation of the Merger Consideration depends, as the case may be, shall be correspondingly adjusted as appropriate to provide the holders of Company Ordinary Shares (including the holders of Company Options and Company RSUs) the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such event.

 

Section 2.05 Fractional Shares. Any fractional share of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be issuable pursuant to the Merger shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock.

 

 

Section 2.06 Exchange of Company Ordinary Shares. Parent shall enter into a customary exchange agreement, with a nationally recognized financial institution or trust company designated by Parent and reasonably approved by the Company (the “Exchange Agent”). At or immediately following the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent for the benefit of the holders of Company Ordinary Shares, for exchange in accordance with this Article 2 through the Exchange Agent, subject to Section 2.06(a)(ii), an aggregate number of duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable and registered shares of Parent Common Stock to be issued in uncertificated or book-entry form comprising the number of shares of Parent Common Stock required to be issued pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii)(A). In addition, Parent shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the Exchange Agent, as necessary from time to time after the Effective Time, cash sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and any dividends or other distributions, if any, to which the holders of Company Ordinary Shares may be entitled pursuant to Section 2.06(b) (such Parent Common Stock and cash provided to the Exchange Agent, together with any dividends or other distributions with respect thereto, are hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments in connection with the aggregate Merger Consideration contemplated by Section 2.03 (including as a result of any losses resulting from the investments contemplated in Section 2.06(g)), Parent shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds or Parent Common Stock, as applicable, with the Exchange Agent in an amount that is equal to the deficiency. The Exchange Agent shall deliver the aggregate Merger Consideration to be issued pursuant to Section 2.03 out of the Exchange Fund. Except as provided in Section 2.06(a)(i), the Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. No interest will be paid or will accrue on any cash payable pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii)(B), Section 2.06(b) or Section 2.08.

 

(a) Exchange Procedures.

 

(i) Certificates. Parent shall instruct the Exchange Agent to mail, as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth Business Day following the Effective Time, to each holder of record of a Certificate whose Company Ordinary Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03 (other than Company 102 Shares), (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and shall be in customary form and be reasonably acceptable to the Company), (ii) a declaration in which the beneficial owner of Company Ordinary Shares provides certain information necessary for Parent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06 and Section 2.10), the Code, or any applicable provision of any Law, and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon proper surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with a letter of transmittal and the declaration for Tax withholding purposes and/or a Valid Tax Certificate, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to as promptly as practicable, (A) in the case of the Stock Consideration, credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of Parent the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Ordinary Shares represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) in the case of the Cash Consideration, pay, by delivery of a check or by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount, in United States dollars, of the aggregate Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, together with any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled; provided, that any number of shares of Parent Common Stock so paid and delivered as part of such Merger Consideration shall be in book-entry form. In the event of a transfer of ownership of a Company Ordinary Share that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made and shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the payment to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable.

 

 

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any holder of Book-Entry Shares shall not be required to deliver a Certificate or an executed letter of transmittal to the Exchange Agent to receive the applicable form of Merger Consideration that such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to this Article 2, but shall be required to deliver an “agent’s message” (which shall be in customary form and be reasonably acceptable to the Company) regarding the book-entry transfer of such Book-Entry Shares (or such other evidence, if any, of such transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) and a declaration in which the beneficial owner of Company Ordinary Shares provides certain information necessary for Parent to determine whether any amounts need to be withheld from the Merger Consideration payable to such beneficial owner pursuant to the terms of the Ordinance (in each case, subject to the provisions of this Section 2.06 and Section 2.10), the Code, or any applicable provision of any Law. Upon proper delivery of an “agent’s message” and the declaration for Tax withholding purposes and/or a Valid Tax Certificate, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, each holder of record of one (1) or more Book-Entry Shares whose Company Ordinary Shares were converted into the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.03 shall be entitled to receive, and Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to as promptly as practicable after the Effective Time, (A) in the case of the Stock Consideration, credit in the stock ledger and other appropriate books and records of Parent the number of shares of Parent Common Stock into which such Book-Entry Shares have been converted pursuant to this Agreement, and (B) in the case of the Cash Consideration, pay and deliver a check in the amount of the aggregate Cash Consideration that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to this Agreement, together with any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(ii), and the Book-Entry Shares of such holder shall forthwith be cancelled; provided, that any number of shares of Parent Common Stock so paid and delivered as part of such Merger Consideration shall be in book-entry form.

 

(iii) Company Transfer Books. At the Effective Time: (A) all holders of Certificates and all holders of Book Entry Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have any rights as shareholders of the Company and (B) the share transfer books of the Company shall be closed with respect to all Company Ordinary Shares outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. No further transfer of any such Company Ordinary Shares shall be made on such share transfer books after the Effective Time other than transfers to reflect, in accordance with customary settlement procedures, trades effected prior to the Effective Time.

 

 

(iv) Company 102 Shares and Company Ordinary Shares subject to the 104H Tax Ruling. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (A) any Merger Consideration (and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i)) payable in respect of Company 102 Shares shall be transferred by the Exchange Agent on the Closing Date to the 102 Trustee for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof and shall be released by the 102 Trustee to the beneficial holders of such Company 102 Shares, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Option Tax Ruling, and (B) any Merger Consideration (and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i)) payable in respect of Company Ordinary Shares subject to the 104H Tax Ruling shall be transferred by the Exchange Agent on the Closing Date to a trustee appointed and approved under the 104H Tax Ruling, to the extent required by the 104H Tax Ruling for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof, and shall be held and released (or otherwise treated) by said trustee to the beneficial holders of such Company Ordinary Shares in accordance with the requirements of the 104H Tax Ruling.

 

(b) Distributions with Respect to Un-exchanged Shares.

 

(i) Certificates. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate formerly representing Company Ordinary Shares, until the surrender of such Certificate in accordance with this Article 2. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence only the right to receive the Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Ordinary Shares represented by such Certificates in accordance with this Article 2. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Certificate, subject to Section 2.06(a)(i) there shall be paid to the holder of the Parent Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (A) at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Common Stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), and a payment date subsequent to such delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(i), payable with respect to such Parent Common Stock.

 

 

(ii) Book-Entry Shares. Subject to applicable Law and this Section 2.06(b)(ii), there shall be paid to the holder of the Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for Book-Entry Shares in accordance with this Article 2, without interest, (A) at the time of delivery of such Parent Common Stock by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii), the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such Parent Common Stock and (B) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii), and a payment date subsequent to the time of such delivery by the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 2.06(a)(ii), payable with respect to such Parent Common Stock.

 

(c) The Merger Consideration issued and paid in accordance with the terms of this Article 2 upon the surrender of the Certificates (or, immediately, in the case of the Book-Entry Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued and paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Company Ordinary Shares (other than the right to receive dividends or other distributions, if any, in accordance with Section 2.06(b)). After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Company of Company Ordinary Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificates formerly representing Company Ordinary Shares are presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be cancelled and exchanged as provided in this Article 2.

 

(d) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the former holders of Company Ordinary Shares for six (6) months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Company, upon demand, and any former holder of Company Ordinary Shares who has not theretofore complied with this Article 2 shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company for payment of its claim for the Merger Consideration and any dividends or distributions with respect to Parent Common Stock as contemplated by Section 2.06(b).

 

(e) None of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco, Merger Sub, the Company, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Parent Common Stock (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or cash from the Exchange Fund delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any Merger Consideration remaining unclaimed by former holders of Company Ordinary Shares immediately prior to such time as such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any Governmental Authority shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company free and clear of any claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

 

(f) In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit and indemnification, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Parent, of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Parent or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such Person of a bond in reasonable amount as Parent or the Exchange Agent may direct, as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it or the Surviving Company with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the Merger Consideration and any unpaid dividends or other distributions that would be payable or deliverable in respect thereof pursuant to Section 2.06(b) had such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate been surrendered as provided in this Article 2.

 

 

(g) The Exchange Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Parent; provided, however, no such investment income or gain or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Ordinary Shares pursuant to ‎Section 2.03. Any interest, gains and other income resulting from such investments shall be the sole and exclusive property of Parent payable to or at the direction of Parent upon its request, and no part of such interest, gains and other income shall accrue to the benefit of holders of Company Ordinary Shares; provided, however, any investment of such cash shall in all events be limited to direct short-term obligations of, or short-term obligations fully guaranteed as to principal and interest by, the U.S. government, in commercial paper rated A-1 or P-1 or better by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, or in certificates of deposit, bank repurchase agreements or banker’s acceptances of commercial banks with capital exceeding $10 billion (based on the most recent financial statements of such bank that are then publicly available), and that no such investment or loss thereon shall affect the amounts payable to holders of Company Ordinary Shares pursuant to this Article 2.

 

Section 2.07 Further Assurances. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company shall determine that any actions are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Company its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of either the Company or Merger Sub acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Company as a result of, or in connection with, the Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, then the officers and directors of the Surviving Company shall be authorized to take all such actions as may be necessary or desirable to vest all right, title or interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Company or otherwise to carry out this Agreement.

 

Section 2.08 Company Share-Based Plans.

 

(a) Subject to Section 2.08(f) below, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each award of options to purchase Company Ordinary Shares (a “Company Option”) that is outstanding but unvested immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and substituted with option(s) to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock to be granted under the Infiniti 2018 Plan (each, a “Substituted Option”), (i) representing the right to purchase that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the number of Company Ordinary Shares underlying such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (B) the sum of (1) the Exchange Ratio and (2) the quotient (rounded to four decimal places) obtained by dividing the Cash Consideration by the Infiniti Closing Price (such sum, the “Equity Award Exchange Ratio”), with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock, and (ii) with a per-share exercise price of such Substituted Option equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the exercise price per Company Ordinary Share subject to such Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (B) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio (rounded up to the nearest whole cent). Each Substituted Option shall have the same material terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company Option immediately prior to the Effective Time, including all time-based vesting conditions and expiration date (but subject to any conflicting provisions in the Infiniti 2018 Plan). To the extent applicable to each grantee, the number of shares of Parent Common Stock underlying any such Substituted Option, the exercise price, and the other terms and conditions of any such Substituted Option will be determined in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and/or under Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the Ordinance.

 

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.08(a) to the contrary, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company Option that is outstanding and vested in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company Option”) shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the product of (x) the excess, if any, of (I) the Merger Consideration (allocated between the Cash Consideration and the Stock Consideration in the same proportion as in Section 2.03(a)(ii)), over (II) the exercise price per Company Ordinary Share subject to such Vested Company Option multiplied by (y) the total number of Company Ordinary Shares underlying such Vested Company Option (the “Closing Option Consideration”). The Closing Option Consideration payable for Vested Company Options which also qualify as Company 102 Awards shall be treated as Company 102 Shares, and as such shall be transferred by the Exchange Agent immediately following the Effective Time to the 102 Trustee for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof and shall be released by the 102 Trustee to the beneficial holder of such Vested Company Option, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Option Tax Ruling, and subject to the execution by such holder of a waiver and acknowledgement letter in a customary form acceptable to Parent and the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the exercise price of the applicable Company Option is equal to or greater than the Closing Option Consideration, such Company Option shall be cancelled without any payment being made in respect thereof.

 

(c) Subject to Section 2.08(f) below, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company RSU award that is outstanding but unvested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and substituted with restricted share units to be granted under the Infiniti 2018 Plan (each, a “Substituted RSU”) representing the right to receive that number of shares of Parent Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the number of Company Ordinary Shares underlying such Company RSU award immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Equity Award Exchange Ratio, with any fractional shares rounded down to the nearest lower whole number of shares of Parent Common Stock. Each Substituted RSU shall have the same material terms and conditions applicable to the corresponding Company RSU immediately prior to the Effective Time, including all vesting conditions (but subject to any conflicting provisions in the Infiniti 2018 Plan) and/or the requirements of Section 409A of the Code and/or Section 102(b)(2) and Section 102(b)(3) of the Ordinance.

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in Section 2.08(c) to the contrary, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, each Company RSU that is vested in accordance with its terms immediately prior to the Effective Time (each, a “Vested Company RSU”) shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration. The Merger Consideration payable for Vested Company RSUs which also qualify as Company 102 Awards shall be treated as Company 102 Shares, and as such be transferred by the Exchange Agent immediately following the Effective Time to the 102 Trustee for the benefit of the beneficial owners thereof and shall be released by the 102 Trustee to the beneficial holders of such Vested Company RSU, in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Option Tax Ruling, and subject to the execution by such holder of a waiver and acknowledgement letter in a customary form acceptable to Parent and the Company.

 

 

(e) Following the Effective Time, no holder of a Company Option or Company RSU or any participant in a Company Plan or other employee benefit arrangement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or under any employment agreement, shall have any right hereunder to acquire any share capital or other equity interests (including any “phantom” stock or stock appreciation rights) in the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries.

 

(f) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all necessary or appropriate action (including obtaining any required consents) to effectuate the substitution of the Company Options and Company RSU awards by Parent in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.08 and the assignment to Parent of the authorities and responsibilities of the Company Board or any committee thereof under the applicable Company Plans that govern such Company Options and Company RSU awards. The substitution of the unvested Company 102 Awards shall be effectuated in accordance with the requirements of Section 102 of the Ordinance and the Option Tax Ruling, if obtained. The substitution of the Company Awards subject to Section 3(i) of the Ordinance shall be effectuated in accordance with the requirements of the Ordinance and the Option Tax Ruling, if obtained.

 

Section 2.09 Appraisal Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

Section 2.10 Withholding Tax.

 

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Parent, the Surviving Company, any of its Subsidiaries, the 102 Trustee or the Exchange Agent (each, a “Payor”) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts payable under, or in connection with, this Agreement to any former holder of Company Ordinary Shares or Company Awards (for the avoidance of doubt, including Vested Company Options and Vested Company RSUs) (each, a “Payee”) pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or under any provision of state, local or non-U.S. tax Law; provided, however, that with respect to withholding of Israeli Tax, in the event any Payee provides a Payor with a Valid Tax Certificate issued by the ITA regarding the withholding (or exemption from withholding) of Israeli Tax from the consideration payable in respect thereof in accordance with this Section 2.10, then the deduction and withholding of any amounts under the Ordinance or any other provision of Israeli Law or requirement shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate. Any amount deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.10 and paid over to the relevant taxing authority shall be treated as having been paid to the Payee in respect of which such deduction or withholding was made. Parent shall pay, or shall cause to be paid, all amounts so deducted or withheld to the appropriate taxing authority within the period required under applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Agent will be authorized to sell on the open market any amount of shares of Parent Common Stock required to cover any amount required to be deducted or withheld under this Section 2.10.

 

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.10(a) above, with respect to Taxes required to be withheld under Israeli Law, the consideration payable to each Payee shall be retained by the Exchange Agent for the benefit of each such Payee for a period of up to 180 days following the Closing (the “Withholding Drop Date”), during which time no Payor shall make any payments to such Payee or withhold any amounts for Taxes due under Israeli Law from the payments deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, except as provided below and during which time each Payee may obtain a Valid Tax Certificate. If a Payee delivers, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Withholding Drop Date, a Valid Tax Certificate to Payor, then the deduction and withholding of any Taxes due under Israeli Law shall be made only in accordance with the provisions of such Valid Tax Certificate and the balance ‎of the payment that is not withheld shall be paid to such Payee subject to any non-Israeli withholding which is applicable to the payment (if any). If any Payee (i) does not provide Payor with a Valid Tax Certificate, by no later than five (5) Business Days before the Withholding Drop Date, or (ii) submits a written request with Payor to release its portion of the consideration prior to ‎the Withholding Drop Date and fails to submit a Valid Tax Certificate at or before such time, then the amount to be withheld from such Payee’s portion of the consideration shall be calculated according to the applicable withholding rate as reasonably ‎determined by Parent in accordance with applicable Law (increased by interest plus linkage differences, as defined in Section 159A of the Ordinance, for the period between the fifteenth (15^th) day of the calendar month following the month during which the Closing occurs and the time the relevant payment is made, and calculated in NIS based on a USD-NIS exchange rate not lower than the effective exchange rate at the Closing Date).

 

(c) As soon as practicable following the date hereof, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling, in a form provided to Parent prior to the date hereof and acceptable to Parent, (i) with respect to holders of Company Ordinary Shares that are non-Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA), (A) exempting the applicable Payor from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (B) instructing such Payor how such withholding is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied and how to identify any such non-Israeli residents; and (ii) with respect to holders of Company Ordinary Shares (other than Company 102 Shares or Company Ordinary Shares subject to the 104H Tax Ruling) that are Israeli residents (as defined in the Ordinance or as will be determined by the ITA) (x) exempting the applicable Payor from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (y) instructing such Payor how such withholding is to be executed, and in particular, with respect to the classes or categories of holders of the Company Ordinary Shares from which Tax is to be withheld (if any), the rate or rates of withholding to be applied; and (iii) with respect to non-Israeli resident holders of Company Awards or Company Ordinary Shares who were granted such securities as awards in consideration for work or services, (x) exempting the applicable Payor from any obligation to withhold Israeli Tax from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement, including the Merger Consideration, or clarifying that no such obligation exists, or (y) instructing such Payor how such withholding is to be executed (the “Withholding Tax Ruling”).

 

 

(d) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, the Company will cause its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling, in a form provided to Parent prior to the date hereof and acceptable to Parent, permitting any holders of the Company Ordinary Shares that are not otherwise exempt from Israeli tax with respect to the Merger Consideration to defer any applicable Israeli Tax with respect to the Stock Consideration that such Payee will receive pursuant to this Agreement until the sale, transfer or other conveyance for cash of such Stock Consideration by such Payee or such other date set forth in Section 104H of the Ordinance (the “104H Tax Ruling”). If the 104H Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company shall take all necessary action to obtain an interim tax ruling prior to the Closing, confirming, among other things, that Payor shall be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any payments made with respect to Company Ordinary Shares listed in such interim tax ruling to the Exchange Agent or the trustee designated in such interim tax ruling in connection with the Merger (the “Interim 104H Tax Ruling”). If prior to the Closing an Interim 104H Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references herein to the 104H Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim 104H Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive 104H Tax Ruling is obtained.

 

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, the Company shall instruct its Israeli counsel, advisors and/or accountants to prepare and file with the ITA an application for a ruling, in a form provided to Parent prior to the date hereof and acceptable to Parent, confirming that the treatment of the Company 102 Awards in accordance with Section 2.08 and exchange of the Company 102 Shares in accordance with Section 2.06 shall not be regarded as a violation of the “requisite holding period” (as such term is defined in Section 102 of the Ordinance) so long as the consideration for such securities is deposited with the 102 Trustee until the end of the respective holding period (which ruling may be subject to customary conditions regularly associated with such a ruling) (the “Option Tax Ruling”). The Company shall include in any request for the Option Tax Ruling a request to exempt any Payor and its respective agents from any withholding obligation in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company 102 Awards or Company 102 Shares. If the Option Tax Ruling is not granted prior to the Closing or in accordance with the instructions of the ITA, the Company shall take all necessary action to obtain prior to the Closing an interim tax ruling confirming, among other things, that Payor shall be exempt from Israeli withholding tax in relation to any payments made with respect to any Company 102 Awards or Company 102 Shares to the Exchange Agent or the 102 Trustee in connection with the Merger (the “Interim Option Tax Ruling”). If prior to the Closing an Interim Option Tax Ruling shall have been obtained, then all references herein to the Option Tax Ruling shall be deemed to refer to such Interim Option Tax Ruling, until such time that a final definitive Option Tax Ruling is obtained.

 

 

(f) Without limiting the generality of this Section 2.10, each of the Company and Parent shall cause their respective Israeli counsel, advisors and accountants to coordinate all material activities and to cooperate with each other with respect to the preparation and filing of such applications and in the preparation of any written or oral submissions that may be necessary, proper or advisable to obtain the Option Tax Ruling (including the Interim Option Tax Ruling) the Withholding Tax Ruling and the 104H Tax Ruling (including any interim ruling or approvals related thereto). In any event, the final text of the Option Tax Ruling, the Withholding Tax Ruling and the 104H Tax Ruling (and any other interim rulings or approvals related thereto) shall be subject to the prior written confirmation of Parent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably prompt basis (and, in any event, within 24 hours) of its receipt of any notice or information in connection with any of the above rulings or approvals.

 

(g) Subject to Section 7.13, each party hereto is relying solely on the advice of his, her or its own Tax advisors with respect to the Tax consequences of the Merger.

Neither Parent nor any of its respective Subsidiaries (including Holdco and Merger Sub) “beneficially owns” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) any Company Ordinary Shares, nor have any of them during the past three years “owned” any Company Ordinary Shares within the meaning of Section 203 of the DGCL.

Section 4.09 Financing. Parent has delivered to the Company (a) a true and complete copy of an executed written commitment from the lender to the borrower thereunder (as the same may be amended or modified from time to time after the date hereof in accordance with Section 7.12(b), the “Debt Financing Commitment”), pursuant to which the lender party thereto has agreed, subject only to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to provide or cause to be provided to Holdco and the Company debt financing in the amounts set forth therein for the purposes of financing the Transactions and related fees and expenses and the other purposes set forth therein (the “Debt Financing”) and (b) a true and complete copy of the Investment Agreement, providing for an equity investment in Parent for the purposes of financing the Transactions and related fees and expenses (the “Equity Financing” and, together with the Debt Financing, the “Financing”). As of the date of this Agreement, the Debt Financing Commitment has not been amended or modified, the Debt Financing Commitment has not been withdrawn or rescinded, the lender has not indicated in writing that it will not proceed according to the terms of the Debt Financing Commitment and the Investors have not indicated in writing that they will not proceed according to the terms of the Investment Agreement. Parent has fully paid or caused to be paid any and all commitment fees or other fees in connection with the Debt Financing Commitment and Equity Financing that are required to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement in connection therewith or pursuant thereto, and each of the Debt Financing Commitment and the Investment Agreement are in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. There are no conditions precedent or other contingencies related to the funding of the full amount of the Financing, other than as set forth in the Debt Financing Commitment and the Investment Agreement. No event has occurred which, with or without notice, lapse of time or both, would constitute a breach or default on the part of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco or Merger Sub under the Debt Financing Commitment or the Investment Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Debt Financing Commitment and the Investment Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the aggregate proceeds contemplated by the Debt Financing Commitment and the Investment Agreement, together with the cash on hand of Infiniti and the Company at the Effective Time, will be sufficient to pay the aggregate Cash Consideration and any other amounts required to be paid in connection with the consummation of the Transactions and to pay all related fees and expenses (collectively, the “Required Payments”).

 

Section 4.10 Solvency. Assuming (a) that the Company is solvent immediately prior to the Effective Time, (b) the satisfaction of the conditions to Parent’s, Holdco’s and Merger Sub’s obligations to consummate the Merger, or waiver of such conditions, (c) the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Article 3, and (d) that the Company Financial Statements fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and their consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, and after giving effect to the Transactions, including the Financing, any alternative financing and the payment of the aggregate Cash Consideration, the Surviving Company will be Solvent as of the Effective Time and immediately after the consummation of the Transactions. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Solvent” when used with respect to any Person means that, as of any date of determination, (i) the amount of the “fair saleable value” of the assets of such Person will, as of such date, exceed (A) the value of all “liabilities of such Person, including contingent and other liabilities,” as of such date, as such quoted terms are generally determined in accordance with applicable Laws governing determinations of the insolvency of debtors, and (B) the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities of such Person on its existing debts (including contingent and other liabilities) as such debts become absolute and mature, (ii) such Person will not have, as of such date, an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged following such date, and (iii) such Person will be able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature. For purposes of this definition, “not have an unreasonably small amount of capital for the operation of the businesses in which it is engaged or proposed to be engaged” and “able to pay its liabilities, including contingent and other liabilities, as they mature” means that such Person will be able to generate enough cash from operations, asset dispositions or refinancing, or a combination thereof, to meet its obligations as they become due.

 

 

Section 4.11 Tax Matters. Neither Parent, Holdco, Merger Sub, Infiniti, the Company, nor each of its respective Subsidiaries has taken or agreed to take any action, or is aware of the existence of any facts or circumstances, that could reasonably be expected to impede or prevent (i) the Merger, taken together with the Infiniti Merger and the Investment Transactions, from qualifying as a transaction described in Section 351 of the Code or (ii) the Infiniti Merger from qualifying as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

 

Section 4.12 No Additional Representations. Except for the representations and warranties expressly made by the Company in Article 3, each of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco and Merger Sub acknowledges that neither the Company nor any other Person makes, and that none of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco or Merger Sub have relied upon, any express or implied representation or warranty whatsoever and specifically (but without limiting the foregoing), that neither the Company nor any Representative of the Company makes, nor has Parent, Infiniti, Holdco or Merger Sub relied upon, any representation or warranty with respect to (a) the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities, conditions (financial or otherwise), prospects or any other matter relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries or (b) any documentation, forecasts, budgets, projections, estimates or other information (including the accuracy or completeness of, or the reasonableness of the assumptions underlying, such documentation, forecasts, budgets, projections, estimates or other information) provided by the Company or any Representative of the Company, including in any “data rooms” or management presentations.

From and after the date hereof until the earlier to occur of the Effective Time or the date of termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article 9, the Company shall not, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries or authorize or knowingly permit any of its Representatives to (and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Persons not to), directly or indirectly, (A) solicit, initiate or knowingly encourage (including by way of furnishing information which has not been previously publicly disseminated) or knowingly facilitate any inquiry or the making or submission of any inquiry, proposal, indication of interest or offer which constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (B) subject to Section 5.02(b), approve, recommend or publicly propose to approve or recommend, a Company Acquisition Proposal, (C) subject to Section 5.02(b), approve, recommend, publicly propose to approve or recommend or execute or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, merger agreement or other agreement, arrangement or understanding, in each case relating to a Company Acquisition Proposal (other than an Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement) or a Company Superior Proposal (each an “Alternative Company Acquisition Agreement”), (D) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding any Company Acquisition Proposal, or (E) agree to do any of the foregoing; provided, however, if, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, following the receipt of a bona fide written Company Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, is or could reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Superior Proposal and that was not solicited in violation of this Section 5.02(a) and was made after the date hereof, the Company may, in response to such Company Acquisition Proposal and subject to compliance with Section 5.02(b), furnish information with respect to the Company to the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal and engage in discussions or negotiations with such Person regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal; provided, that (1) prior to furnishing, or causing to be furnished, any such nonpublic information relating to the Company to such Person, the Company enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal (an “Acceptable Company Confidentiality Agreement”) that (x) does not contain any provision that would prevent the Company from complying with its obligation to provide any disclosure to Parent required pursuant to this Section 5.02 and (y) contains provisions that in the aggregate are no less restrictive on such Person than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement (provided that such agreement does not need to contain any provision prohibiting (including any direct or indirect “standstill” or similar provisions that prohibit) the making of any Company Acquisition Proposal), and (2) promptly (but in any event within 24 hours) following furnishing any such nonpublic information to such Person, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to Parent (to the extent such nonpublic information has not been previously so furnished to Parent or its Representatives).

 

 

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, prior to the receipt of the Company Shareholder Approval, the Company Board may effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change if (and only if): (I) a written Company Acquisition Proposal that was not solicited in violation of Section 5.02(a) is made to the Company by a Third Party and such Company Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn; (II) the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, that such Company Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Company Superior Proposal; and (III) the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel, that the failure to make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties of the Company Board under the circumstances and applicable Law; provided, however, none of the Company, the Company Board or any committee thereof shall make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change and/or authorize the Company to enter into any Alternative Company Acquisition Agreement unless:

 

(i) the Company Board provides Parent at least five (5) days’ prior written notice of its intention to take such action (it being understood that the delivery of such notice and any amendment or update thereto and the determination to so deliver such notice, update or amendment shall not, by itself, constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), which notice shall specify in detail the reasons therefor and shall include the information with respect to the Company Superior Proposal that is specified in Section 5.02(c), as well as a copy of such Company Acquisition Proposal and any related Alternative Company Acquisition Agreement;

 

(ii) during the five (5) days following such written notice described in the foregoing clause (i) (or such shorter period as is specified in this Section 5.02 below), the Company Board and its Representatives have negotiated in good faith with Parent (unless Parent has expressly agreed in writing not to negotiate) regarding any revisions to the terms of this Agreement that may, at Parent’s sole discretion, be proposed by Parent in response to such Company Superior Proposal (it being understood that any modification to the financial or other material terms of such Company Superior Proposal shall result in a new five (5) day period under this Section 5.02(b)(ii)); and

 

(iii) at the end of the five (5) day period described in the foregoing clause (i) (or such shorter period as specified in this Section 5.02 below), the Company Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and financial advisors (and taking into account any adjustment or modification of the terms of this Agreement proposed), that the Company Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Company Superior Proposal and the failure to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the fiduciary duties owed by the Company Board to the Company under the circumstances and applicable Law.

 

Any amendment or modification to the conditionality, price or form of consideration of any Company Superior Proposal will be deemed to be a new Company Acquisition Proposal for purposes of this Section 5.02, and the Company shall promptly (but in any event within 24 hours of occurrence) notify Parent of any such new Company Acquisition Proposal and the Parties shall comply with the provisions of this Section 5.02 with respect thereto; provided, however, that the “matching period” set forth above shall in such circumstance expire on the later of three (3) days after the Company Board provides written notice of such new Company Acquisition Proposal to Parent and the end of the original five (5) day period described in clause (ii) above; provided, further, (x) whether or not there is a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, unless this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with Section 9.01, the Company Board shall submit this Agreement for approval by the Company shareholders at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting (provided, however that, for so long as there is a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Board shall nevertheless be required in such case to solicit proxies in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the Transactions); and (y) in the event there is a Company Adverse Recommendation Change made in compliance with this Section 5.02 with respect to a Company Superior Proposal, the Company shall only enter into an Alternative Company Acquisition Agreement with respect thereto by terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.01(f).

 

 

(c) In addition to the obligations of the Company set forth in Section 5.02(a) and Section 5.02(b), the Company shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Parent in writing (i) of any inquiries, proposals or offers with respect to a Company Acquisition Proposal that are received by, or any non-public information with regard to such Company Acquisition Proposal is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated regarding such Company Acquisition Proposal with, the Company (or any of its Representatives), indicating, in connection with such notice, the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the inquiry, proposal or offer and the material terms and conditions of any such inquiries, proposals or offers (and providing copies of all related written inquiries, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements) and (ii) of the Company’s intention to participate or engage in discussions or negotiations with, or furnish non-public information to, such Person making such Company Acquisition Proposal, information request or inquiry. In no event shall the Company begin providing any such information or engage in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing Parent with the notice required by the preceding sentence. The Company thereafter shall (x) keep Parent reasonably informed, on a reasonably prompt basis (and, in any event, within 24 hours) of the status of any material discussions or negotiations with respect to any such inquiries, proposal or offers and the details of any material changes to the status and material terms of any such inquiries, proposals or offers (including any material amendments thereto or any change to the scope or material terms or conditions thereof, and including copies of any written inquiries, proposals or offers, including proposed agreements and material modifications thereto) and (y) substantially concurrently with the delivery to any such Person, provide to Parent any information concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is provided or made available to such Person or its Representatives unless such information has been previously provided or made available to Parent.

 

Section 5.03 Disclosure Documents. None of the documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC after the date hereof in connection with the Transactions will, on the date of such filing, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, and subject to the last sentence of this Section 5.03, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that none of the information supplied by or on behalf of the Company specifically for inclusion or incorporation by reference in (a) a registration statement on Form S-4 (or similar successor form) to register the issuance of Parent Common Stock in connection with the Merger (including any amendments or supplements, the “Registration Statement”) will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act (or, with respect to any post-effective amendment or supplement, at the time such post-effective amendment or supplement becomes effective), contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (b) the definitive Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus included in the Registration Statement at the time it becomes effective to be sent to the Company’s shareholders in connection with the Merger and the other Transactions and Infiniti’s stockholders in connection with the Transactions (including any amendments or supplements, the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) will, at the date it is first mailed to the Company’s shareholders or at the time of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.03, no representation or warranty is made by the Company with respect to information or statements made or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus which were not supplied by or on behalf of the Company.

 

 

Section 5.04 Company Shareholders’ Meeting. The Company shall duly call, give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its shareholders (the “Company Shareholders’ Meeting”) as promptly as practicable after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act (except as provided in this Section 5.04) for the purpose of voting on the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions in accordance with applicable Law. In connection with the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, the Company shall (i) subject to Section 5.02(b), recommend approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the Company’s shareholders in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and (ii) otherwise comply with all legal requirements applicable to such meeting. Subject to Section 5.02(b), regardless of whether there has been a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from its shareholders proxies in favor of (it being understood that a proxy card will be deemed “in favor of” a matter to be acted upon by the Company’s shareholders if it provides the shareholder with the ability to either vote for, vote against or abstain from voting on such matter) the adoption of this Agreement and take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to secure the approval and adoption of this Agreement and the Transactions by the Company’s shareholders, provided that nothing in this Section 5.04 shall prohibit the Company Board or any committee thereof from making a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in compliance with this Agreement. The Company shall keep Parent, Infiniti, Holdco and Merger Sub reasonably updated with respect to proxy solicitation results as reasonably requested by Parent, Infiniti, Holdco or Merger Sub, and shall direct its proxy soliciting agent to provide Parent and its Representatives with the results of all proxy tabulations provided by such proxy soliciting agent to the Company. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Parent, adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting; provided, however, the Company shall have the right to adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting: (i) after consultation with Parent, for not more than two (2) periods not to exceed ten (10) Business Days each if on the date on which the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is then scheduled, the Company has not received proxies representing a sufficient number of Company Ordinary Shares to obtain the Company Shareholder Approval; (ii) if on the date on which the Company Shareholders’ Meeting is then scheduled, there are insufficient Company Ordinary Shares represented (either in person or by proxy) to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Company Shareholders’ Meeting; or (iii) after consultation with Parent, if the failure to adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders’ Meeting would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable Law for the distribution of any required amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be timely provided to the holders of Company Ordinary Shares. Once the Company has established a record date for the Company Shareholders’ Meeting, the Company shall not change such record date or establish a different record date for the Company Shareholders’ Meeting without the prior written consent of Parent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), unless required to do so by applicable Law or the Company’s organizational documents. Without the prior written consent of Parent, the adoption of this Agreement and the approval of the Transactions (including the Merger) shall be the only matters (other than matters of procedure and matters required by applicable Law to be voted on by the Company’s shareholders in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the Transactions) that the Company shall propose to be acted on by the shareholders of the Company at the Company Shareholders’ Meeting. Regardless of whether there is a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, the Company Shareholders’ Meeting shall be held in accordance with the terms hereof unless this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 9.

(a) At and after the Effective Time, Parent shall, and shall cause the Surviving Company to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, indemnify and hold harmless each past and present director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (each, together with such person’s heirs, executors or administrators, a “Company Indemnified Party”) against any costs or expenses (including advancing attorneys’ fees and expenses in advance of the final disposition of any actual or threatened claim, suit, proceeding or investigation to each Company Indemnified Party), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative arising out of (i) actions or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time (and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time) to the extent that they are based on or arise out of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (ii) to the extent they are based on or arise out of or pertain to the Transactions, including the Merger, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time, and including any expenses incurred in enforcing such person’s rights under this Section 6.02; (provided such Company Indemnified Party agrees in advance to return any such funds to which a court of competent jurisdiction has determined in a final, non-appealable judgment such Company Indemnified Party is not ultimately entitled), in each case to the same extent that the Company or its Subsidiaries would have been required to do so pursuant to the Company’s organizational documents and indemnification agreements (to the extent such agreements have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof) of the Company or its Subsidiaries, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Company Indemnified Party notifies the Surviving Company on or prior to the seventh anniversary of the Effective Time of a matter in respect of which such Person may seek indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.02, the provisions of this Section 6.02 shall continue in effect with respect to such matter until the final disposition of all claims, actions, investigations, suits and proceedings relating thereto.

 

(b) Subject to Section 6.02(a), for seven years after the Effective Time, Parent shall, (i) except to the extent such agreement provides for an earlier termination, cause to be maintained in effect the provisions regarding elimination of liability, indemnification and advancement of expenses in any agreements (other than insurance Contracts) of the Company and its Subsidiaries with any Company Indemnified Party that are in existence on the date hereof, to the extent such agreements have been made available to Parent prior to the date hereof, and (ii) not amend, modify or repeal such provisions in any manner that would materially and adversely affect the rights or protections thereunder of any such Company Indemnified Party in respect of acts or omissions occurring or alleged to have occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including acts or omissions occurring in connection with the adoption of this Agreement and the consummation of the Merger).

 

 

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, in consultation with Parent as provided in this Section 6.02(c), the Company shall be permitted to, and if the Company fails to do so, Parent shall, obtain and fully pay the premium for a seven-year prepaid “tail” policy for the extension of the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies, for a claims reporting or discovery period of seven years from and after the Effective Time, on terms and conditions providing coverage retentions, limits and other material terms substantially equivalent to the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company with respect to matters arising on or before the Effective Time, covering without limitation the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall, in cooperation with Parent, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the most favorable pricing and most comprehensive coverage reasonably available for such “tail” policy and neither the Company nor Parent shall commit or spend on such “tail” policy more than 300% of the last aggregate annual premium paid by the Company prior to the date hereof for the Company’s current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (the “Base Amount”), and if the cost of such “tail” policy would otherwise exceed the Base Amount, the Company shall be permitted to, or in the case of Parent, shall, purchase as much coverage as reasonably practicable for the Base Amount. After the Effective Time, Parent shall cause such “tail” policy to be maintained in full force and effect, for its full term, and shall honor all of its obligations thereunder, and no Party shall have any other obligation to purchase or pay for any insurance hereunder. The Company shall in good faith cooperate and consult with Parent prior to the Effective Time with respect to the procurement of such “tail” policy, including with respect to the selection of the broker, available policy price and coverage options, and shall in good faith consider Parent’s recommendations with respect thereto. If the Company and Parent for any reason fail to obtain such “tail” insurance policy as of the Effective Time, Parent shall (i) maintain in effect for a period of at least seven (7) years from and after the Effective Time (and for so long thereafter as any claims brought before the end of such seven-year period thereunder have not exceeded the applicable statute of limitations) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage in place as of the date hereof with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable in all material respects as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof or (ii) purchase comparable directors’ and officers’ liability coverage for such seven-year period (and for so long thereafter as any claims brought before the end of such seven-year period thereunder have not exceeded the applicable statute of limitations) with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are at least as favorable in all material respects as provided in the Company’s existing policies as of the date hereof; provided, however, in each case, in no event shall Parent be required to commit or spend more than the Base Amount on any such directors’ and officers’ liability coverage.

 

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.02 (i) are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Company Indemnified Party, and (ii) are in addition to, and not in substitution for, any other rights to indemnification or contribution that any such person may have by Contract or otherwise.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.03, no representation or warranty is made by Parent, Infiniti, Holdco or Merger Sub with respect to information or statements made or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus which were not supplied by or on behalf of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco or Merger Sub.

(d) Each of Parent, Infiniti and the Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are an integral part of the Transactions, (ii) without these agreements, Parent, Infiniti, Holdco, Merger Sub and the Company would not have entered into this Agreement and (iii) any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.03 is not a penalty, but rather is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Parent, Infiniti, Holdco and Merger Sub, in the case of Section 9.03(a) and Section 9.03(b), or the Company, in the case of Section 9.03(c), in the circumstances in which such amount is payable.

Section 10.01 No Survival of Representations and Warranties. None of the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any schedule, certificate, instrument or other document delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Effective Time.

A termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01 or a material amendment or waiver of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.02 or Section 10.03 shall, in order to be effective, require, in the case of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco, Merger Sub and the Company, action by their respective board of directors (or a committee thereof), as applicable.

Except as required by applicable Law, no waiver of this Agreement shall require the approval of the shareholders or stockholders, as applicable, of any of Parent, Infiniti, Holdco, Merger Sub or the Company. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of such rights, nor shall any single or partial exercise by any Party of any of its rights under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise of such rights or any other rights under this Agreement.

Section 10.06 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when each Party shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties. Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Parties, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by electronic mail transmission (including in portable document format (pdf) or otherwise) or by facsimile shall be sufficient to bind the Parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

Section 10.07 Entire Agreement; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (including the Exhibits hereto and the documents and the instruments referred to herein), the Confidentiality Agreement and any agreements entered into contemporaneously herewith (a) constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof; provided, however, (x) any provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement conflicting with this Agreement shall be superseded by this Agreement and (y) all standstill or similar provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement shall be superseded to the extent necessary to permit Parent to make additional proposals under Section 5.02(b), and (b) are not intended to confer any rights, benefits, remedies, obligations or liabilities upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing clause (b), following the Effective Time, the provisions of Section 6.02 shall be enforceable by each Party entitled to indemnification hereunder and his or her heirs and his or her Representatives.

 

 

Section 10.08 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void, unenforceable or against its regulatory policy, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, so long as the economic and legal substance of the Transactions, taken as a whole, are not affected in a manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement, subject to Section 10.02, so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the Transactions be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

Section 10.09 Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the Parties hereto in whole or in part (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void; provided, however, (a) Parent may designate, prior to the Effective Time, by written notice to the Company, another wholly-owned direct or indirect Subsidiary to be a party to the Merger in lieu of Holdco or Merger Sub, in which event all references herein to Holdco or Merger Sub, as the case may be, shall be deemed references to such other Subsidiary (except with respect to representations and warranties made herein with respect to Holdco or Merger Sub, as applicable, as of the date hereof) and all representations and warranties made herein with respect to Holdco or Merger Sub, as applicable, as of the date hereof shall also be made with respect to such other Subsidiary as of the date of such designation and (b) Parent, Holdco and Merger Sub may collaterally assign any or all of their respective rights or obligations hereunder to any Debt Financing sources; provided, further, such assignment shall not relieve Parent, Holdco and Merger Sub, as the case may be, of its obligations hereunder or otherwise enlarge, alter or change any obligation of any other Party or due to Parent or such other Subsidiary. Any purported assignment without such consent shall be void. This Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Form 1 (Regulation No. 2)

 

(Section 326 of the Companies Law, 1999)

 

(This form must be completed for each of the merging companies)

 

To: The Companies ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

 

▇.

Name of the filing company:

PowerFleet Israel Acquisition Company Ltd.

 

Indicate if this is the Target Company

V

or the Surviving Company

 

2.

On 13/3/19 at a meeting that was duly convened, the company’s Board of Directors adopted a resolution to approve the following, after considering the financial condition of the merging companies and determining that there is no reasonable concern, in its opinion that, as a result of the merger, the Surviving Company will not be able to fulfill the company’s obligations to its creditors.

 

3.	Details of the Merger:
	Pointer Telocation Ltd.		520041476
	Name of Surviving Company		Surviving Company’s Registry Number
	PowerFleet Israel Acquisition Company Ltd.		515984557
	Name of Target Company		Target Company’s Registry Number
	The merger is a reverse triangular merger, meaning the Target Company will merge into the Surviving Company and will cease to exist, and the Surviving Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the PowerFleet Israel Holding Company Ltd. (Priv. Co. No. 515984003) (“Israeli Holding Company”)(the “Merger”), which is a wholly owned subsidiary of PowerFleet, Inc., a company incorporated in the State of Delaware (the “Parent Company”), and will be listed for trade on the Nasdaq upon completion of the merger. Holders of issued shares or shares which may be issued under the terms of securities that are convertible for shares in the Surviving Company (collectively, “Surviving Company Shareholders”), will receive consideration in cash and in Parent Company Shares, as agreed in the agreement between the parties.   To complete the picture, it is noted that simultaneously with the Merger, the Parent Company will acquire (by means of a parallel reverse triangular merger under Delaware law) all of the ordinary shares of I.D. Systems, Inc., a corporation incorporated in the State of Delaware that is currently listed for trade on the Nasdaq (“I.D. Systems”), and the shareholders of I.D. Systems will receive one ordinary share in the Parent Company for each ordinary share of I.D. Systems owned by them.

Principal Terms of the Merger

 

Every term or expression, unless expressly defined below in this appendix, shall have the meaning given it in the merger agreement.

 

The below summary in the Hebrew language is a summary of the principal terms of the agreement and is presented for the sake of convenience only. The English language merger agreement is the sole binding version of the merger agreement with respect to the parties thereto as well as with respect to third parties. In any event of nonconformity between the English language merger agreement and the summary below, the English language merger agreement will be binding, and the below summary will have no impact on the interpretation of the merger agreement, or any provision included therein.

 

The merger between PowerFleet Israel Acquisition Company Ltd. (the “Target Company”) and Pointer Telocation Ltd. (the “Surviving Company”) is a reverse triangular merger, wherein, immediately following the merger, the Surviving Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the PowerFleet Israel Holding Company Ltd.

On the Merger completion date, (1) all issued shares in the Surviving Company shall transfer to the Israeli Holding Company, (2) all vested securities that are convertible for shares in the Surviving Company shall be cancelled in exchange for the merger consideration and those that are unvested shall be substituted for securities convertible for Parent Company Shares, and (3) the Merger will be carried out as set forth in Section 323 of the Companies Law-1999, meaning, the Target Company will be merged into the Surviving Company and will cease to exist, and the Surviving Company shall become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Israeli Holding Company. In exchange, the Surviving Company Shareholders will receive for each share (or option or RSU) in the Surviving Company: (A) cash in the amount of US $8.50; and (B) 1.272 Parent Company Shares.

 

The Surviving Company made representations and gave commitments regarding, inter alia, its business, its contracts, its assets and financial status, its equity, its financial statements, intellectual property, fulfillment of statutory requirements, litigation, authority and lack of conflict regarding the merger agreement and performance of the transactions thereunder.

Principal Grounds Provided by the Target Company’s Board of Directors:

 

1.	Since the Target Company has no creditors, and based on a review of the financial condition of the merging companies (in reliance, inter alia, on the representations made by the Surviving Company which are set forth in the merger agreement), there is no reasonable suspicion that, as a result of the Merger, the Surviving Company will not be able to meet the Target Company’s obligations to its creditors.

Principal Grounds Provided by the Surviving Company’s Board of Directors:

 

The proposed Merger is fair and benefits the Surviving Company, inter alia, in light of the following:

 

1.	The Surviving Company’s Board of Directors’ familiarity with the business, financial condition, outcome from operations, current business strategy, and forecasts of the Surviving Company, as well as the risks involved in the fulfillment of these forecasts and targets under current market and industry conditions, the nature of the markets in which it operates, and its standing in these markets.
2.	There is no reasonable concern that, as a result of the Merger, the Surviving Company will not be able to meet its obligations to its creditors, taking into account the financial condition of the Surviving Company and the Target Company. The foregoing is based on: (i) the debt schedule of the merging companies and the sources available to them for the purpose of repayment; (ii) the representations in the merger agreement; (iii) the due diligence processes performed by the Surviving Company and its advisors; (iv) the decrease of the level of the Surviving Company’s new debt after the Merger and the concomitant change in consideration resulting from the negotiations prior to signing the merger agreement; (v) the fact that the Target Company: has no material assets or liabilities, other than its rights and obligations arising under the merger agreement (and based in part on the representations of the Target Company), has had no commercial operations since inception and is not expected to have any such operations prior to the closing of the Merger; (vi) the opportunities open to the Surviving Company following the closing of the Merger for business development, improving its liquidity and capital structure, decreased financing costs and savings in regulatory costs; and (vi) additional information presented by management of the Surviving Company in response to questions from the Board of Directors.
3.	The possible alternatives to the Merger, including the possibility of continuing to operate the Surviving Company in its current format and the limitations on the company’s growth.
4.	The financial terms, as well as the other terms of the merger agreement as reviewed by the Surviving Company’s Board of Directors, and the fact that these terms are the result of negotiation between the parties.
5.	The fact that the consideration for the Merger will be paid partly in cash and partly in Parent Company Shares, such that it will benefit the Surviving Company’s shareholders in the short term and will permit them to enjoy the potential growth of the Parent Company in the long term.
6.	According to the fairness opinion of ▇▇▇▇ Capital Partners, which was delivered to the Board of Directors of the Surviving Company, as of the date of the opinion, the consideration to be paid to the shareholders of the Surviving Company pursuant to the merger agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.
