Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
Merger Agreement
 
On December 5, 2016, Synchronoss Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), GL Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Intralinks Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Intralinks”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). The Merger Agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will commence a cash tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding shares (the “Shares”) of Intralinks common stock, $0.001 par value, at a price of $13.00 per share (the “Offer Price”), without interest and subject to any required withholding taxes.  The Offer is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2017.
 
Consummation of the Offer is subject to various conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, including, but not limited to (i) at least a majority of shares of Intralinks common stock then outstanding being validly tendered into, and not withdrawn from, the Offer, (ii) the receipt of required approvals, waivers and consents, and (iii) other conditions set forth in Exhibit A to the Merger Agreement.
 
The Offer will expire at one minute after 11:59 P.M., New York City time, at the end of the 20th business day (calculated in accordance with the rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) following the commencement date of the Offer unless extended in accordance with the terms of the Offer and the Merger Agreement and the applicable rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
 
Following consummation of the Offer, Merger Sub will merge with and into Intralinks with Intralinks surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger, each outstanding Share that is not validly tendered and accepted pursuant to the Offer (other than the Shares held in the treasury of Intralinks, Shares held directly or indirectly by Parent or its subsidiaries, and Shares as to which appraisal rights have been perfected in accordance with applicable law) will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the Offer Price, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement.
 
The Merger Agreement provides that the Merger will be governed by Section 251(h) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) and shall be effected by Merger Sub and Intralinks as soon as practicable following the consummation of the Offer without a stockholders meeting pursuant to the DGCL.
 
Parent intends to fund the acquisition with cash on hand, including proceeds from the Divestiture described below in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, and up to $900 million under a new term loan facility. On December 5, 2016, Parent entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Credit Suisse AG and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, the Lenders have committed to provide a $900 million term loan, the proceeds of which may be used for the payment of the Offer Price contemplated by, and the payment of fees and expenses incurred in connection with, the Merger Agreement and the Offer.  The commitment to provide the financing is subject to certain conditions, including the negotiation of definitive documentation and other customary closing conditions consistent with the Merger Agreement and Commitment Letter.  The definitive agreement for the term loan facility will contain, among other terms, affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default, in each case to be negotiated by the parties consistent with the Commitment Letter.  Parent will pay customary fees and expenses in connection with obtaining the term loan facility.  The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Letter, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by this reference.
 
The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by Parent, Merger Sub and Intralinks. The Merger Agreement also contains customary covenants and agreements, including with respect to the operations of the business of Intralinks and its subsidiaries between signing and closing, restrictions on responses by Intralinks with respect to alternative transactions, governmental filings and approvals and other matters.
 
The Merger Agreement generally prohibits Intralinks’ solicitation of proposals relating to alternative business combination transactions and restricts Intralinks’ ability to furnish non-public information to, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with, any third party with respect to any such transaction, subject to certain limited exceptions.
 
The Merger Agreement contains termination rights for each of Parent, Merger Sub and Intralinks. The Merger Agreement
 
2

 
further provides that upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances (i) Intralinks may be required to pay Parent a termination fee of $24.6 million and (ii) Parent may be required to pay Intralinks a termination fee of $49.2 million.
 
A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about Parent, Merger Sub or Intralinks. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure schedules provided by the parties thereto in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. These disclosure schedules include information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants set forth in the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement were used for the purpose of allocating risk between Parent, Merger Sub and Intralinks, rather than establishing matters of fact. Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement may not constitute the actual state of facts about Parent, Merger Sub or Intralinks.
 
Tender and Support Agreements
 
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Intralinks’ Chief Executive Officer and certain greater than 10% holders of the Company’s common stock entered into Tender and Support Agreements with Parent and Merger Sub (the “Tender and Support Agreements”), which provide, among other things, that such persons will tender their Shares in the Offer.  The Tender and Support Agreements will terminate upon termination of the Merger Agreement and certain other specified events.
 
The foregoing description of the Tender and Support Agreements does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the form of Tender and Support Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On December 5, 2016, Parent entered into a purchase and sale and amended and restated operating agreement (the “Operating Agreement”) by and among Sequential Technology International, LLC (“STI”), Parent and Sequential Technology International Holdings, LLC (“Sequential”) pursuant to which Parent sold a 70% interest (the “Divestiture”) in STI to Sequential in return for a cash payment of $146 million to Parent.  Parent previously formed STI and contributed certain of its activation business assets to STI in return for its initial membership interest in STI.  As part of the transactions contemplated by the Divestiture, Parent issued a promissory note to Sequential, which is secured by Sequential’s interest in STI.  In addition, Parent is retaining a 30% interest in STI. Pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement, Parent has certain put rights whereby Sequential would be required to purchase Parent’s interest in STI in certain circumstances and Sequential has a corresponding call right where Sequential would be required to purchase Parent’s interest in STI in certain circumstances.
 
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
 
On December 6, 2016, Parent and Intralinks issued a joint press release announcing entry into the Merger Agreement. The companies also announced that following the closing of the transaction, Ron Hovsepian, Chief Executive Officer of Intralinks, is expected to be appointed Chief Executive Officer of Parent and join Parent’s Board of Directors, with Parent’s Founder and current Chief Executive Office Stephen G. Waldis transitioning into being an active Executive Chairman of the Board.  The full text of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated herein by reference.
 
In addition, on December 6, 2016, Parent and Intralinks will also hold a conference call for analysts and investors that will include a presentation containing supplemental information regarding the proposed transaction. A copy of the presentation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3.
 
The information under Item 7.01 in this Form 8-K and in Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 shall be deemed “furnished” and not “filed” for the purpose of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document. The information under Item 7.01 in this Form 8-K

shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
 
Additional Information and Where to Find It
 
In connection with the proposed acquisition of Intralinks, Synchronoss will commence a tender offer for the outstanding shares of Intralinks.  The tender offer has not yet commenced.  This document is for informational purposes only and is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Intralinks, nor is it a substitute for the tender offer materials that Synchronoss and Merger Sub will file with the SEC upon commencement of the tender offer. At the time the tender is commenced, Synchronoss and Merger Sub will file tender offer materials on Schedule TO, and Intralinks will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC with respect to the tender offer. The tender offer materials (including an Offer to Purchase, a related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer documents) and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement will contain important information. Holders of shares of Intralinks are urged to read these documents when they become available because they will contain important information that holders of Intralinks securities should consider before making any decision regarding tendering their securities. The Offer to Purchase, the related Letter of Transmittal and certain other tender offer documents, as well as the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement, will be made available to all holders of shares of Intralinks at no expense to them. The tender offer materials and the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement will be made available for free at the SEC’s web site at www.sec.gov.
 
Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements either contained in or incorporated by reference into this report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections and statements relating to Intralinks’ and Synchronoss’ business plans, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include statements regarding acquisition synergies and benefits to Synchronoss, the growth of the market and demand for Synchronoss’ offerings, growth opportunities, the closing of the debt financing and acquisition and impact of such transactions, momentum in Synchronoss’ business and momentum with the offerings discussed in this press release, potential growth of Synchronoss’ business, product performance, the ability to successfully integrate the companies and their respective products, and the timing of the transaction. Although Synchronoss attempts to be accurate in making forward-looking statements, it is possible that future circumstances might differ from the assumptions on which such statements are based. Important factors that could cause results to differ materially from the statements herein include the following: general economic risks; execution risks with acquisitions; closing conditions; risks associated with sales not materializing based on a change in circumstances; disruption to sales following acquisitions; increasing competitiveness in the enterprise and mobile solutions market; ability to retain key personnel following the acquisition; the dynamic nature of the markets in which the companies operate; specific economic risks in different geographies, and among different customer segments; changes in foreign currency exchange rates; uncertainty regarding increased business and renewals from existing customers; uncertainties around continued success in sales growth and market share gains; failure to convert sales pipeline into final sales; risks associated with successful implementation of multiple integrated software products and other product functionality risks; execution risks around new product development and introductions and innovation; product defects; unexpected costs, assumption of unknown liabilities and increased costs for any reason; litigation and disputes and the potential cost, distraction and damage to sales and reputation caused thereby; market acceptance of new products and services; the ability to attract and retain personnel; changes in strategy; risks associated with management of growth; lengthy sales and implementation cycles, particularly in larger organizations; technological changes that make our products and services less competitive; risks associated with the adoption of, and demand for, our model in general and by specific customer segments; competition and pricing pressure; and the other risk factors set forth from time to time in Synchronoss’ most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our other filings with the SEC, copies of which are available free of charge at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or upon request from Synchronoss’ investor relations department.

43

 
make or authorize any disclosure which would reasonably be expected to have the same effect as a Change in Recommendation, except in each case in accordance with Section 6.1(d) or Section 6.1(e).  For the avoidance of doubt, a factually accurate public statement that describes the Company’s receipt of an Acquisition Proposal, that no position has been taken by the Company Board as to the advisability or desirability of such Acquisition Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed a Change of Recommendation.

tender offer or otherwise, of the business of any third Person which, either directly or through one or more of its subsidiaries, is a provider of software or software-as-a-service solutions if doing so could, as determined based on consultation with outside antitrust counsel, reasonably be expected to materially increase the likelihood of any Legal Proceeding described in clause (e) or an Antitrust Restraint (other than an Excluded Antitrust Restraint).  Nothing in this Section 6.4(f) shall require the Company or any of it its subsidiaries to take or agree to take any action with respect to its business or operations unless the effectiveness of such agreement or action is conditioned upon the Closing.

(b)                                 Parent shall not agree to or permit any amendment, supplement, termination, modification or replacement of, or grant any waiver of, any condition, remedy or other provision under any Debt Commitment Letter or Financing Agreement without the prior written consent of the Company if such amendment, supplement, termination, modification, replacement or waiver would or would reasonably be expected to (i) reduce the aggregate amount of the Financing from that contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters delivered as of the date hereof to an amount such that the transactions contemplated hereby could not be consummated, (ii) impose any new or additional conditions or otherwise expand, amend or modify any of the conditions to the receipt of the Financing in a manner that would (x) delay or prevent the Offer or (y) make the funding of any portion of the Financing (or satisfaction of any condition to obtaining any portion of the Financing) less likely to occur or (iii) adversely impact in any material respect the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against the other parties to the Debt Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements (it being understood and agreed that, in any event, Parent may amend the Debt Commitment Letters to add lenders, arrangers, bookrunners, agents, managers or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letters as of the date of this Agreement).  Upon any amendment, supplement, modification or replacement of, or waiver of, any Debt Commitment Letter in accordance with this Section 6.14(b), Parent shall promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Company and references herein to “Debt Commitment Letters” shall include and mean such documents as amended, supplemented, modified, replaced or waived in compliance with this Section 6.14(b), and references to “Financing” shall include and mean the financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as amended, supplemented, modified, replaced or waived in compliance with this Section 6.14(b), as applicable.
 
53

 
(c)                                  In the event that all or any portion of the Financing becomes or could reasonably be expected to become unavailable on the terms and conditions (including any “flex” provisions) contemplated in the Debt Commitment Letters for any reason or any of the Debt Commitment Letters shall be withdrawn, terminated, repudiated or rescinded for any reason, (i) Parent shall promptly notify the Company and (ii) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to arrange and obtain, as promptly as practicable following the occurrence of such event, and to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with respect to, alternative financing from the same or alternative sources (the “ Alternative Financing ”) in an amount sufficient to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or replace any unavailable portion of the Financing), and to obtain a new financing commitment letter (including any associated engagement letter and related Fee Letter) with respect to such Alternative Financing (collectively, the “ New Debt Commitment Letter ”), copies of which shall be promptly provided to the Company; provided, that Parent shall not be required to obtain Alternative Financing on terms and conditions that are materially less favorable, taken as a whole, to Parent than those in the Debt Commitment Letters (including any “flex” provisions) that such Alternative Financing and New Debt Commitment Letter would replace. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Alternative Financing or New Debt Commitment Letter may expand upon the conditions precedent or contingencies to the funding of the Financing on the Closing Date as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters in effect on the date hereof or otherwise include terms (including any “flex” provisions) that would reasonably be expected to make the likelihood that the Alternative Financing would be funded less likely. In the event any Alternative Financing is obtained and a New Debt Commitment Letter is entered into in accordance with this Section 6.14(c), Parent shall deliver a copy thereof to the Company and references herein to (A) “Debt Commitment Letters” shall be deemed to include and mean the Debt Commitment Letters to the extent not superseded by a New Debt Commitment Letter, as the case may be, at the time in question and any New Debt Commitment Letter to the extent then in effect, and (B) “Financing” shall include and mean the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters as modified pursuant to the preceding clause (A).  Upon the commencement of the Marketing Period, Parent shall give written notice thereof to the Company.
 
(d)                                 Parent shall furnish the Company substantially final drafts (when available) and true and complete and executed (upon execution) copies of the Financing Agreements upon the reasonable request of the Company.  Parent shall (i) give the Company prompt written notice of any default or breach by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letters or the Financing Agreements of which Parent becomes aware, if such default or breach would result in a delay of, or in any way limit, the availability of the Financing and (ii) otherwise keep the Company reasonably informed of the status of its efforts to arrange the Financing (or any Alternative Financing). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Parent shall give the Company prompt notice (A) of the receipt or delivery of any notice or other communication, in each case from any Person with respect to (x) any actual or potential default under or breach of any provisions of the Debt Commitment Letters or Financing Agreements by Parent, or any withdrawal, termination, repudiation or rescission or threatened withdrawal, termination, repudiation or rescission thereof by any party to any of the Debt Commitment Letters or Financing Agreements or (y) any dispute or disagreement between or among parties to any of the Debt Commitment Letters or Financing Agreements with respect to the obligation to fund the Financing or the amount of the Financing to be funded at the Offer Acceptance Time, in each case, that would make the funding of the Financing (or satisfaction of the conditions to obtaining the Financing) less likely to occur or delay the availability of the Financing, and (B) if at any time for any reason Parent believes that it will not be able to obtain all or any portion of the Financing on the terms and conditions, in the manner or from the sources, contemplated by any of the Debt Commitment Letters or Financing Agreements or will be unable to obtain Alternative Financing.  Parent shall promptly provide any information reasonably requested by the Company relating to any circumstance referred to in clause (A) or (B) of the immediately preceding sentence.
 
54

 
(e)                                  Parent acknowledges and agrees that neither the obtaining of the Financing or any alternative financing, nor the completion of any issuance of securities contemplated by the Financing or any alternative financing, is a condition to the Closing, and reaffirms its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement irrespective and independently of the availability of the Financing or any alternative financing, or the completion of any such issuance, subject to the applicable conditions set forth on  Exhibit A .
 
6.15.                    Financing Cooperation.
 
(a)                                 The Company shall and shall cause the Subsidiaries of the Company to, at Parent’s sole expense, use its and their respective reasonable best efforts to provide such cooperation in connection with arranging, obtaining and syndicating the Financing as may be reasonably requested by Parent as is necessary and customary in connection with the arrangement of financings similar to the Financing;  provided  that such requested cooperation is consistent with Applicable Law and does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company.  Such cooperation by the Company and the Subsidiaries of the Company shall include, in each case at the reasonable request of Parent:
 
(i)                                     preparing and furnishing Parent and the Financing Sources, not later than a time reasonably sufficient to allow Parent to satisfy the conditions in the Debt Commitment Letters, all Required Information and all other financial and other pertinent information and disclosures regarding the Company and the Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by Parent for use in connection with the Financing,
 
(ii)                                  causing the Company’s senior officers to participate in a reasonable number of lender meetings, rating agency presentations and due diligence meetings at reasonable times and upon reasonable advance notice,
 
(iii)                               assisting Parent and the Financing Sources in the preparation of Debt Marketing Documents (and any supplements thereto) solely with respect to information relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries,
 
(iv)                              reasonably cooperating with the marketing efforts of Parent and the Financing Sources in connection with the Financing, including direct contact between such management of the Company and potential lenders in the Financing,
 
(v)                                 reasonably cooperating with Parent’s legal counsel in connection with customary legal opinions required in connection with the Financing,
 
(vi)                              reasonably assisting Parent in obtaining any corporate credit and family ratings from any ratings agencies contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, including assisting Parent and the Financing Sources in the preparation of customary materials for rating agency presentations solely with respect to information relating to the Company and the Subsidiaries,
 
(vii)                           reasonably assisting in the preparation of, and executing and delivering, definitive Financing Agreements and other customary financing documents, including guarantee and collateral documents and other certificates and documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent,
 
55

 
(viii)                        facilitating the pledging of collateral for the Financing (including delivery of original stock certificates and original stock powers of the Subsidiaries to the extent required on the Closing Date in connection with the Financing and to the extent available to the Company),
 
(ix)                              using reasonable best efforts to assist the Financing Sources in benefiting from the existing lending relationships of the Company,
 
(x)                                 taking all ministerial company actions, subject to and only effective upon the occurrence of the Effective Time, reasonably requested by Parent to permit the consummation of the Financing,
 
(xi)                              at least three Business Days prior to the Closing Date, providing all documentation and other information about the Company and the Subsidiaries as is reasonably requested in writing by Parent at least ten Business Days prior to the Closing in connection with the Financing that relates to applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations including without limitation the USA PATRIOT Act, and
 
(xii)                           using reasonable best efforts to obtain customary payoff letters and lien terminations, if applicable, to the extent necessary to allow for the payoff, discharge and termination of (i) the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2014, between the Company and the financial institutions listed therein as lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as lead arranger and sole bookrunner, as amended to date and (ii) the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2014, between the Company and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as lender, as amended to date.

(iv)                              as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time, (A) the representations and warranties of the Company in Section 3.1(a) (with respect to the Company only), Section 3.2(a), the first sentence of Section 3.3(d), Section 3.3(a), clause (ii) of Section 3.5 and Section 3.15(b) shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the Agreement Date and on and as of the Expiration Date as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of such date (except for representations and warranties that address matters only as to a specified date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct with respect to such specified date);  provided  that this condition shall be satisfied with respect to the representations and warranties made in Section 3.2(a) where the failure of such representations and warranties to be so true and correct has not resulted and would not reasonably be expected to result in additional cost to the Company, Parent and their Affiliates, individually or in the aggregate, of more than $9,000,000; (B) the representations and warranties of the Company in the second sentence of Section 3.3(d) and Section 3.15(a) shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Agreement Date and on and as of the Expiration Date as though such representations and warranties were made on and as of such date (except for such representations and warranties that address matters only as to a specified date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct with respect to such specified date); and (C) all other representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement, disregarding all qualifications and exceptions contained therein relating to materiality or Company Material Adverse Effect or any similar standard or qualification, shall be true and correct on

(v)                                 the Company shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all covenants and other agreements in this Agreement required to be performed and complied with by it at or prior to the Expiration Time;
 
(vi)                              as of immediately prior to the Expiration Time, since the Agreement Date, there shall not have occurred and be continuing a Company Material Adverse Effect;

(and deliver any certificates evidencing the Subject Shares, to the extent that any are in certificated form) all Subject Shares, free and clear of all claims, liens, encumbrances and security interests of any nature whatsoever that would prevent Company Stockholder from tendering the Subject Shares in accordance with this Agreement or otherwise complying with Company Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement;  provided  that if Company Stockholder has not received the Offer Documents within such ten Business Day period following the commencement of the Offer, Company Stockholder shall so tender the Subject Shares within five Business Days following receipt of the Offer Documents.  If Company Stockholder acquires any Subject Shares after the tenth Business Day following the commencement of the Offer, Company Stockholder shall validly tender into the Offer (and deliver any certificates evidencing such Subject Shares, to the extent that any are in certificated form) such Subject Shares within five Business Days following the date that Company Stockholder acquires such Subject Shares.

ARTICLE VI

(a)                                 This Agreement shall be governed in all respects, including validity, interpretation and effect, by the laws of the state of Delaware applicable to contracts executed and to be performed wholly within such state without giving effect to the choice of law principles of such state, except for the provisions of this Agreement that relate expressly to the DGCL, which shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the DGCL.

(c)                                  Each of Parent, Merger Sub and Company Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the actions of Parent, Merger Sub or Company Stockholder in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement.
 
6.2                              Specific Performance.  Company Stockholder agrees that irreparable damage would occur and that Parent would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that Parent shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages, in any federal court located
 
7

ARTICLE I
 
STOCKHOLDERS
 
Section 1.1:  Annual Meetings.  Unless directors are elected by written consent in lieu of an annual meeting, as permitted by Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“ DGCL ”), an annual meeting of stockholders shall be held for the election of directors at such date and time as the Board of Directors shall each year fix.  The meeting may be held either at a place, within or without the State of Delaware, or by means of remote communication as the Board of Directors in its sole discretion may determine.  Any other proper business may be transacted at the annual meeting.
 
Section 1.2:  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of stockholders for any purpose or purposes may be called at any time by the Board of Directors, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, the President, or by a majority of the members of the Board of Directors.  Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons.
 
Section 1.3:  Notice of Meetings.  Notice of all meetings of stockholders shall be given in writing or by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law (including, without limitation, as set forth in Section 7.1(b) of these Bylaws) stating the date, time and place, if any, of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.  Unless otherwise required by applicable law or the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation (the “ Certificate of Incorporation ”), such notice shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.
 
Section 1.4:  Adjournments.  The chair of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to him or her to be in order.  The chair shall have the power to adjourn the meeting to another time, date and place (if any).  Any meeting of stockholders may adjourn from time to time, and notice need not be given of any such adjourned meeting if the time, date and place (if any) thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken;  provided ,  however , that if the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days, or if after the adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, then a notice of the adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.  At the adjourned meeting the Corporation may transact any business that might have been transacted at the original meeting.
 
Section 1.5:  Quorum.  At each meeting of stockholders the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting, present in person or represented by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, except if otherwise required by applicable law.  If a quorum shall fail to
 
4

 
attend any meeting, the chairperson of the meeting or the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting may adjourn the meeting.  Shares of the Corporation’s stock belonging to the Corporation (or to another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the election of directors of such other corporation are held, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation), shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted for quorum purposes;  provided ,  however , that the foregoing shall not limit the right of the Corporation or any other corporation to vote any shares of the Corporation’s stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity and to count such shares for purposes of determining a quorum.
 
Section 1.6:  Organization.  Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such a person, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors, or, in the absence of such person, the President of the Corporation, or, in the absence of such person, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting.  Such person shall be chairperson of the meeting and, subject to Section 1.11 hereof, shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seems to him or her to be in order.  The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in such person’s absence the chairperson of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.
 
Section 1.7:  Voting; Proxies.  Unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, and subject to the provisions of Section 1.8 of these Bylaws, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder.  Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy.  Such a proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law.  Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless such is demanded at the meeting before voting begins by a stockholder or stockholders holding shares representing at least one percent (1%) of the votes entitled to vote at such meeting, or by such stockholder’s or stockholders’ proxy;  provided ,  however , that an election of directors shall be by written ballot if demand is so made by any stockholder at the meeting before voting begins.  If a vote is to be taken by written ballot, then each such ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as the chairperson of the meeting deems appropriate and, if authorized by the Board of Directors, the ballot may be submitted by electronic transmission in the manner provided by law.  Directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.  Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, every matter other than the election of directors shall be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of stock entitled to vote thereon that are present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and are voted for or against the matter.
 
Section 1.8:  Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record.  In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or to take corporate action by written consent without a meeting, or 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, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action.  If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then the record date shall be as provided by applicable law.  A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or
 
5

 
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 the adjourned meeting.
 
Section 1.9:  List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote.  A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary business hours, for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, either on a reasonably accessible electronic network as permitted by law (provided that the information required to gain access to the list is provided with the notice of the meeting) or during ordinary business hours at the principal place of business of the Corporation.  If the meeting is held at a place, the list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting.  If the meeting is held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall 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 the list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.
 
Section 1.10: Action by Written Consent of Stockholders.
 
(a)                                Procedure.  Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents are in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed in the manner permitted by law by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the 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.  Written stockholder consents shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent in the manner permitted by law and shall be delivered to the Corporation as provided in subsection (b) below.  No written consent shall be effective to take the action set forth therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided above, written consents signed by a sufficient number of stockholders to take the action set forth therein are delivered to the Corporation in the manner provided above.
 
(b)                                Electronic Transmission.  A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this section, provided that any such telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission sets forth or is delivered with information from which the Corporation can determine (i) that the telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission was transmitted by the stockholder or proxyholder or by a person or persons authorized to act for the stockholder or proxyholder and (ii) the date on which such stockholder or proxyholder or authorized person or persons transmitted such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission.  The date on which such telegram, cablegram or electronic transmission is transmitted shall be deemed to be the date on which such consent was signed.  No consent given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission shall be deemed to have been delivered until such consent is reproduced in paper form and until such paper form shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in the State of Delaware, its principal place of business or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.  Delivery made to a Corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.  Notwithstanding the foregoing limitations on delivery, consents given by telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission may be otherwise delivered to the principal

(c)                                 Notice of Consent.  Prompt notice of the taking of corporate action by stockholders without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent of the stockholders shall be given to those stockholders who have not consented thereto in writing and, who, if the action had been taken at a meeting, would have been entitled to notice of the meeting, if the record date for such meeting had been the date that written consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take the action were delivered to the Corporation as required by law.  In the case of a Certificate of Action (as defined below), if the DGCL so requires, such notice shall be given prior to filing of the certificate in question.  If the action which is consented to requires the filing of a certificate under the DGCL (the “ Certificate of Action ”), then if the DGCL so requires, the certificate so filed shall state that written stockholder consent has been given in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL and that written notice of the taking of corporate action by stockholders without a meeting as described herein has been given as provided in such section.

(e)                                 Opening and Closing of Polls.  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 by the inspectors at the meeting.  No ballot, proxies or votes, nor any revocations thereof or changes thereto, shall be accepted by the inspectors after the closing of the polls unless the Court of Chancery upon application by a stockholder shall determine otherwise.

(3)                                Survival of Rights. The rights of indemnification provided by this Section 6.2 shall continue as to a Director or Officer after he or she has ceased to be a Director or Officer and shall inure to the benefit of his or her heirs, executors, administrators and personal representatives.

Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Director and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Director is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall advance all Expenses incurred by or on behalf of any Director seeking advancement of expenses hereunder in connection with a Proceeding initiated by such Director only if such Proceeding (including any parts of such Proceeding not initiated by such Director) was (i) authorized by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or (ii) brought to enforce such Director’s rights to indemnification or advancement of Expenses under these Bylaws.
 
(b)                                 If a claim for advancement of Expenses hereunder by a Director is not paid in full by the Corporation within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Corporation of documentation of Expenses and the required undertaking, such Director may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim and if successful in whole or in part, such Director shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such advancement of Expenses under this Article VI shall not be a defense to an action brought by a Director for recovery of the unpaid amount of an advancement claim and shall not create a presumption that such advancement is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director is not entitled to an advancement of expenses shall be on the Corporation.
 
(c)                                  In 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 Director has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.

Proceeding in which such person is involved by reason of his or her Corporate Status as an Officer or Non-Officer Employee upon the receipt by the Corporation of a statement or statements from such Officer or Non-Officer Employee requesting such advance or advances from time to time, whether prior to or after final disposition of such Proceeding. Such statement or statements shall reasonably evidence the Expenses incurred by such Officer or Non-Officer Employee and shall be preceded or accompanied by an undertaking by or on behalf of such person to repay any Expenses so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such Officer or Non-Officer Employee is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses.
 
(b)                                 In 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 Officer or Non-Officer Employee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
 
Section 6.7:  Contractual Nature of Rights.
 
The provisions of this Article VI shall be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each Director and Officer entitled to the benefits hereof at any time while this Article VI is in effect, in consideration of such person’s past or current and any future performance of services for the Corporation or the Predecessor, as applicable. Neither amendment, repeal or modification of any provision of this Article VI nor the adoption of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation inconsistent with this Article VI shall eliminate or reduce any right conferred by this Article VI in respect of any act or omission occurring, or any cause of action or claim that accrues or arises or any state of facts existing, at the time of or before such amendment, repeal, modification or adoption of an inconsistent provision (even in the case of a proceeding based on such a state of facts that is commenced after such time), and all rights to indemnification and advancement of Expenses granted herein or arising out of any act or omission shall vest at the time of the act or omission in question, regardless of when or if any proceeding with respect to such act or omission is commenced. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall continue notwithstanding that the person has ceased to be a director or officer of the Corporation or the Predecessor and shall inure to the benefit of the estate, heirs, executors, administrators, legatees and distributes of such person.
 
(a)                                 If a claim for indemnification hereunder by a Director or Officer is not paid in full by the Corporation within sixty (60) days after receipt by the Corporation of a written claim for indemnification, such Director or Officer may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim, and if successful in whole or in part, such Director or Officer shall also be entitled to be paid the expenses of prosecuting such claim. The failure of the Corporation (including its Board of Directors or any committee thereof, independent legal counsel, or stockholders) to make a determination concerning the permissibility of such indemnification under this Article VI shall not be a defense to an action brought by a director or Officer for recovery of the unpaid amount of an indemnification claim and shall not create a presumption that such indemnification is not permissible. The burden of proving that a Director or Officer is not entitled to indemnification shall be on the Corporation.
 
(b)                                 In any suit brought by a director or Officer to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder, it shall be a defense that such Director or Officer has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the DGCL.
 
Section 6.8:  Non-Exclusivity of Rights. The rights to indemnification and to advancement of Expenses set forth in this Article VI shall not be exclusive of any other right which any Director, Officer,
 
16

 
or Non-Officer Employee may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or Disinterested Directors or otherwise.
 
Section 6.9:  Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance, at its expense, to protect itself and any Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee against any liability of any character asserted against or incurred by the Corporation or any such Director, Officer or Non-Officer Employee, or arising out of any such person’s Corporate Status, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under the DGCL or the provisions of this Article VI.
 
Section 6.10:  Other Indemnification. The Corporation’s obligation, if any, to indemnify or provide advancement of Expenses to any person under this Article VI as a result of such person serving, at the request of the Corporation or the Predecessor, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall be reduced by any amount such person may collect as indemnification or advancement of Expenses from such other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or enterprise (the “ Primary Indemnitor ”). Any indemnification or advancement of Expenses under this Article VI owed by the Corporation as a result of a person serving, at the request of the Corporation or the Predecessor, as a director, partner, trustee, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise shall only be in excess of, and shall be secondary to, the indemnification or advancement of Expenses available from the applicable Primary Indemnitor(s) and any applicable insurance policies.

Without limiting your obligations to assist with syndication efforts as set forth herein, it is understood that the Initial Lenders’ commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, the Facilities and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Facilities constitute a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date.  The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication efforts promptly upon the execution by each party of this Commitment Letter and as part of their syndication efforts, it is their intent to have Lenders commit to the Facilities prior to the Closing Date (subject to the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph).  You agree actively to assist the Lead Arrangers, until the earlier to occur of (i) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (ii) 60 days after the Closing Date (such earlier date, the “ Syndication Date ”), in completing a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to them and you.  Such assistance shall include, without limitation, (a) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication efforts benefit materially from your existing lending and investment banking relationships and, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, those of the Company, (b) direct contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of you, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand (and your using commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to ensure such contact between senior management, representatives and advisors of the Company, on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders, on the other hand), in all such cases at times and places mutually agreed upon, (c) your assistance, and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Company to assist, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, in the preparation of customary confidential information memoranda for the Facilities (any such memorandum, a “ Confidential Information Memorandum ”) and other marketing materials to be used in connection with the syndications, in each case, in a form customarily delivered in connection with senior secured bank financings in the United States, by using commercially reasonable efforts to provide information and other customary materials reasonably requested in connection with such Confidential Information Memorandum no less than 15 consecutive business days prior to the Closing Date ( provided  that such 15 consecutive business day period shall commence no earlier than January 3, 2017), (d) using your commercially reasonable efforts to procure a public corporate credit rating and a public corporate family rating in respect of the Borrower from Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“ S&P ”) and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“ Moody’s ”), respectively, and public ratings for the Term Loan Facility from each of S&P and Moody’s, in each case, prior to the launch of primary syndication of the Facilities, (e) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of no more than two meetings of prospective Lenders at times and locations to be mutually agreed upon and (f) your ensuring (and with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure) that there shall be no competing issues of debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities (other than the Facilities) of the Borrower, the Company or any of their respective subsidiaries being offered, placed or arranged if such debt securities or commercial bank or other credit facilities would, in the reasonable judgment of the Lead Arrangers, materially impair the primary syndication of the Facilities (it is understood and agreed that any deferred purchase price obligations, ordinary course working capital facilities and ordinary course capital lease, purchase money, equipment financings, intercompany indebtedness and other indebtedness permitted to be incurred by the Acquisition Agreement will not be deemed to materially impair the

primary syndication of the Facilities). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter or the Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, neither the obtaining of the ratings referenced above nor the compliance with any of the other provisions set forth in clauses (a) through (f) above or any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Facilities on the Closing Date or at any time thereafter.
 
The Lead Arrangers, in their capacities as such, will, in consultation with you, manage all aspects of any syndication of the Facilities, including decisions as to the selection of institutions reasonably acceptable to you to be approached and when they will be approached, when their commitments will be accepted, which institutions will participate (subject to your consent rights and rights of appointment set forth in the second preceding paragraph), the allocation of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of fees among the Lenders from the amounts to be paid to the Commitment Parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter.  To assist the Lead Arrangers in their syndication efforts, you agree promptly to prepare and provide (and to use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent not in contravention of the terms of the Acquisition Agreement as in effect on the date hereof, to cause the Company to provide) to the Lead Arrangers all customary information with respect to you and the Company and each of your and its respective subsidiaries and the Transactions, including all financial information and projections (such projections, including financial estimates, budgets, forecasts and other forward-looking information, the “ Projections ”), as the Lead Arrangers may reasonably request in connection with the structuring, arrangement and syndication of the Facilities.  For the avoidance of doubt, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof would violate any law, rule or regulation binding upon you or any of your subsidiaries or affiliates or upon the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any obligation of confidentiality binding upon, or waive any attorney-client privilege of, you, the Company or your or its respective subsidiaries and affiliates (in which case you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to have any such confidentiality obligation waived, and otherwise in all instances, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation, promptly notify us that information is being withheld pursuant to this sentence).  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the only financial statements that shall be required to be provided to the Commitment Parties in connection with the syndication of the Facilities shall be those required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs 5 and 6 of Exhibit C.
 
You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the best of your knowledge), (a) all written information and written data (such information and data, other than (i) the Projections and (ii) information of a general economic or industry specific nature, the “ Information ”) that has been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives, taken as a whole, is or will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not or will not, when furnished, and when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto from time to time) and (b) the Projections that have been or will be made available to the Commitment Parties by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives have been or will be, at the time of delivery, prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that you believe to be reasonable at the time made and at the time the related Projections are so furnished to the Commitment Parties, it being understood that the Projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, that the Projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such Projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material.  You agree that if, at any time prior to the later of the Closing Date and the Syndication Date, you become
 
4

 
aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be, to the best of your knowledge, incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, at such time, then you will (and, with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, use commercially reasonable efforts to) promptly supplement the Information and the Projections so that (with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries, to the best of your knowledge) such representations and warranties will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances.  In arranging and syndicating the Facilities, the Commitment Parties will be entitled to use and rely primarily on the Information and the Projections without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
 
You hereby acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers will make available Information and Projections to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting such Information and Projections on IntraLinks, SyndTrak Online, DebtDomain or similar electronic means and (b) certain of the Lenders may be “public side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that wish to receive only information that (i) is publicly available or (ii) is not material with respect to you, the Company, your or its respective subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws (collectively, the “ Public Side Information ”; any information that is not Public Side Information, “ Private Side Information ”)) and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to you, the Company, any of your or its respective subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing (each, a “ Public Sider ” and each Lender that is not a Public Sider, a “ Private Sider ”).
 
If reasonably requested by the Lead Arrangers you will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in preparing a customary additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum to be used in connection with the syndication of the Facilities that includes only Public Side Information with respect to you, the Company, your or its respective subsidiaries or the respective securities of any of the foregoing to be used by Public Siders.  It is understood that in connection with your assistance described above, customary authorization letters will be included in any Confidential Information Memorandum that authorize the distribution of the Confidential Information Memorandum to prospective Lenders in a form customarily included in the Confidential Information Memorandum for senior secured bank financings in the United States, that contain the representations set forth in the second preceding paragraph (which representations as to the Company, in the case of authorization letters to be delivered by the Company, shall not be qualified by knowledge) (and represent that the additional version of the Confidential Information Memorandum contains only Public Side Information with respect to you, the Company, your or its respective subsidiaries and the respective securities of any of the foregoing (other than as set forth in the following paragraph)).  It is further understood that in connection with your assistance described above, the Confidential Information Memorandum will contain provisions that exculpate you, the Company and your and their respective subsidiaries and affiliates and us with respect to any liability related to the use or misuse of the contents of the Confidential Information Memorandum or any related marketing material by the recipients thereof.
 
You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to designate that portion of the Information that may be distributed to the Public Siders as “PUBLIC”.  You agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Lead Arrangers on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective lenders in the form provided to you and to your counsel a reasonable time prior to their distribution, unless you or your counsel advise the Lead Arrangers in writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distribution that such material should only be distributed to Private Siders: (a) the Term Sheet, (b) interim and final drafts of the Facilities Documentation, (c) administrative materials prepared by the Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (such as a lender meeting invitation, allocations and funding and closing memoranda) and (d) changes in the terms of the Facilities.  If you advise us that any of the foregoing items should be

distributed only to Private Siders, then the Lead Arrangers will not distribute such materials to Public Siders without your consent.
 
As consideration for the commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder and for the agreement of the Lead Arrangers to perform the services described herein, you agree to pay (or cause to be paid) the fees set forth in the Term Sheet and in the Fee Letter dated the date hereof and delivered herewith with respect to the Facilities (the “ Fee Letter ”), if and to the extent payable.  Once paid, such fees shall not be refundable under any circumstances, except as otherwise contemplated by the Fee Letter.
 
The several commitments of the Initial Lenders hereunder to fund the Facilities on the Closing Date and the several agreements of the Lead Arrangers and the Joint Bookrunners to perform the services described herein are subject solely to (a) the applicable conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and (b) the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit C hereto, and upon satisfaction (or waiver by the Commitment Parties) of such conditions, the initial funding of the Facilities shall occur, it being understood that there are no conditions (implied or otherwise) to the commitments hereunder, including compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation, other than those that are expressly stated in the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and in Exhibit C hereto.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter (including each of the exhibits attached hereto), the Fee Letter, the Facilities Documentation or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing of the Transactions to the contrary, (i) the only representations and warranties the accuracy of which shall be a condition to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be (A) such of the representations and warranties made by the Company with respect to the Company, its subsidiaries and their respective businesses in the Acquisition Agreement as are material to the interests of the Lenders, but only to the extent that you (or one of your affiliates) have the right (taking into account any applicable cure provisions) to terminate your (or its) obligations under the Acquisition Agreement (or otherwise decline to consummate the Acquisition without any liability, in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement) as a result of a breach of such representations and warranties in the Acquisition Agreement (to such extent, the “ Company Representations ”) and (B) the Specified Representations (as defined below) and (ii) the terms of the Facilities Documentation shall be in a form such that they do not impair the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date if the conditions set forth in the section entitled “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” in Exhibit B hereto and in Exhibit C hereto are satisfied (or waived by the Commitment Parties) (provided that, to the extent any security interest in any Collateral (as defined in Exhibit B) is not or cannot be provided and/or perfected on the Closing Date (other than the pledge and perfection of the security interests (1) in the certificated equity securities, if any, of any wholly-owned U.S. domestic subsidiaries of the Borrower (to the extent required by the Term Sheet);  provided  that stock certificates of the Company and its subsidiaries will only be required to be delivered on the Closing Date to the extent received from the Company, so long as you have used commercially reasonable efforts to obtain them on the Closing Date and (2) in other assets with respect to which a lien may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Uniform Commercial Code) after your use of commercially reasonable efforts to do so or without undue burden or expense, then the provision and/or perfection of a security interest in such Collateral shall not constitute a condition precedent to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date but instead shall be required to be delivered and/or perfected after the Closing Date pursuant to arrangements and timing to be mutually agreed (but, in any event, (i) with respect to certificated equity securities, if any, of any wholly-owned U.S. domestic subsidiaries of the Borrower (to the extent required by the Term Sheet), not later than 3 business days after the Closing Date and (ii) with respect to other assets, not later than 60 days after the Closing Date or such longer period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).  For purposes hereof, “ Specified Representations ” means the representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors to be set forth in the Facilities

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties, their respective affiliates and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, controlling persons, members and the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (each an “ Indemnified Person ”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of any kind or nature, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject, to the extent arising out of or in connection with any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, actual or threatened, relating to this Commitment Letter (including the Term Sheet), the Fee Letter, the Transactions, the Facilities or any related transaction contemplated hereby (any of the foregoing, a “ Proceeding ”), regardless of whether any such Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether such Proceeding is brought by you or any other person, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Person upon demand for any reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing by one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if necessary, by a single firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction for all such Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnified Person affected by such conflict notifies you of the existence of such conflict and thereafter, after receipt of your consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), retains its own counsel, by another firm of counsel for such affected Indemnified Person) or other reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing;  provided  that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent that they have resulted from (i) the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision), (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person (or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing) under this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter or the Facilities Documentation (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (iii) any Proceeding not arising from any act or omission by you or any of your affiliates that is brought by an Indemnified Person against any other Indemnified Person (other than disputes involving claims against any Lead Arranger or Administrative Agent in its capacity as such), and (b) to reimburse each Commitment Party and each Indemnified Person from time to time, upon presentation of a summary statement, for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, (i) no Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through internet, electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems (including IntraLinks, SyndTrak Online or DebtDomain), except to the extent that such damages have resulted from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or any of such Indemnified Person’s affiliates or any of its or their officers, directors, employees, agents, controlling persons, members or the successors of any of the foregoing (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) and (ii) none of we, you, the Company, any subsidiaries or affiliates of the foregoing or any Indemnified Person shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings) in connection with this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Transactions (including the Facilities and the use of proceeds thereunder), or with respect to any activities related to the Facilities, including the preparation of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Facilities Documentation;  provided  that nothing in this paragraph shall limit your indemnity and reimbursement obligations to the extent that such indirect, special, punitive or consequential damages are included in any claim by a third party unaffiliated with any of the Commitment Parties with respect to which the applicable Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification under the preceding paragraph.
 
You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final and non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with and to the extent provided in the other provisions herein.
 
You shall not, without the prior written consent of any Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of such proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability, wrong doing or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

$250 million Revolving Facility
Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions
 
All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Commitment Letter to which this term sheet is attached, including Exhibit A thereto.
 
Borrower:	 	The Parent (in such capacity, the “Borrower”).	
 	 	 	
Transaction:	 	As set forth in Exhibit A to the Commitment Letter.	
 	 	 	
Administrative Agent:	 	Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman”) will act as sole and exclusive administrative agent and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “ Administrative Agent ”) in respect of the Facilities (as hereinafter defined) for a syndicate of banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and excluding any Disqualified Lenders (together with the Initial Lenders, the “ Lenders ”), and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.	
 	 	 	
Joint Bookrunners and Lead Arrangers :	 	Each of Goldman and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC will act as a lead arranger and joint bookrunner (together with any additional joint bookrunner appointed pursuant to the Commitment Letter, each in such capacity, a “ Lead Arranger ”) and will perform the duties customarily associated with such roles.	
 	 	 	
Other Agents:	 	The Borrower may designate additional financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Lead Arrangers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) to act as syndication agent, documentation agent or co-documentation agent as provided in the Commitment Letter for each of the Facilities.	
 	 	 	
Facilities:	 	A senior secured term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $900 million (the “ Term Loan Facility ”; the loans thereunder, the “ Term Loans ”; the Lenders thereunder, the “ Term Loan Lenders ”).
 
A senior secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $250 million (the “ Revolving Facility ” and together with the Term Loan Facility, the “ Facilities ”; the commitments thereunder, the “ Revolving Commitments ”; the loans thereunder, the “ Revolving Loans ” and together with the Term Loans, the “ Loans ”; the Lenders thereunder, the “ Revolving Lenders ”), of which a portion shall be available in the form of Letters of Credit (as defined below) as set forth in the “Letters of Credit” section below.	
 	 	 	
Swingline:	 	In connection with the Revolving Facility, the Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “ Swingline Lender ”) will make available to the Borrower a swingline facility (the “ Swingline Facility ”) under which the Borrower may make short-term borrowings (on same-day notice (in minimum amounts to be mutually agreed upon and integral multiples to be agreed upon)) of up to an amount to be	

 
 	 	agreed.  Except for purposes of calculating the commitment fee described on Annex I to this Exhibit B, any such swingline borrowings will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.	
 	 	 	
Incremental Facilities:	 	The Facilities will permit the Borrower to add one or more incremental term facilities to the Facilities or increase the Term Loan Facility (each, an “ Incremental Term Facility ”), and/or increase commitments under the Revolving Facility Commitments (any such increase, an “ Incremental Revolving Increase ”) and/or add one or more incremental revolving credit facility tranches (each, an “ Incremental Revolving Facility ”; the Incremental Term Facilities, the Incremental Revolving Increases and the Incremental Revolving Facilities are collectively referred to as “ Incremental Facilities ”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to the greater of (x) $300 million (the “ Incremental Fixed Dollar Basket ”) (plus all voluntary prepayments (excluding voluntary prepayments made at a discount to par) and voluntary commitment reductions of the Facilities prior to the date of any such incurrence (to the extent not funded with the proceeds of long term debt)) and (y) an amount such that, after giving effect to the incurrence of such amount, the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below) is equal to or less than the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on the Closing Date (in each case, assuming all such additional amounts were secured on a first lien basis, whether or not so secured, and including for this purpose the full amount of any Incremental Revolving Increase or Incremental Revolving Facility and without netting any cash proceeds of such incurrence), subject to the following conditions:
 
(i)             no existing Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facilities,
 
(ii)          no event of default has occurred and is continuing, or would result therefrom (except where waived by the lenders in respect of such Incremental Facility in connection with acquisitions or similar investments subject to customary “funds certain” conditions, where no payment or bankruptcy event of default will be the standard),
 
(iii)       the final maturity date and the weighted average maturity of any such Incremental Term Facility in the form of a term loan B or similar form of institutional term loan (excluding, for avoidance of doubt, an amortizing Incremental Term Facility in the form of a “term loan A” or similar form) shall not be earlier than, or shorter than, as the case may be, the maturity date or the weighted average life, as applicable, of the Term Loan Facility,
 
(iv)      the pricing, interest rate margins, discounts, premiums, rate floors, fees and amortization schedule applicable to any Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders thereunder;  provided that , with respect to any Incremental Term Facility in the form of a term loan B or similar form of institutional term loan that matures earlier than two years after the maturity date with respect to the Term Loan Facility (the “ MFN Maturity Limitation ”), only during the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the date that is 18 months after the Closing Date (the “ MFN Sunset Date ”), if the applicable interest rate relating to any such Incremental Term Facility exceeds the applicable	
 
B-2

 
 	 	interest rate relating to the Term Loan Facility by more than 0.50% (the “MFN Margin ”) the applicable interest rate relating to the Term Loan Facility shall be adjusted to be equal to the applicable interest rate relating to such Incremental Term Facility minus the MFN Margin at such time;  provided  that in determining such applicable interest rates, (x) OID or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute a like amount of OID) paid by the Borrower to the lenders under such Incremental Term Facility (but exclusive of any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection therewith that are not shared with lenders providing such Incremental Term Facility) and the Term Loan Facility in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included and equated to interest rate (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity) and (y) any amendments to the applicable margin on the existing Term Loan Facility that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such Incremental Term Facility shall also be included in such calculations;  provided, further , that (A) with respect to the existing Term Loan Facility, to the extent that LIBOR for a three month interest period on the closing date of any such Incremental Term Facility is less than the interest rate floor applicable to any such existing Term Loan Facility, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest margin for the existing Term Loans, solely for the purpose of determining whether an increase in the interest rate margins for the existing Term Loans shall be required and (B) with respect to any Incremental Term Loan Facility, to the extent that LIBOR, as applicable to the existing Term Loan Facility for a three month interest period on the closing date of any such Incremental Term Facility is less than the interest rate floor, if any, applicable to any such Incremental Term Facility, the amount of such difference shall be deemed added to the interest rate margins for the loans under the Incremental Term Facility (this clause (iv), the “ MFN Protection ”),
 
(v)         any Incremental Revolving Facility and any Incremental Revolving Increase shall be on the same terms and pursuant to the same documentation applicable to the Revolving Facility (including the maturity date in respect thereof (provided the applicable margin applicable thereto may be increased if necessary to be consistent with that for the Incremental Revolving Facility)), and
 
(vi)      any Incremental Term Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined by the Borrower,  provided  that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with, the Term Loan Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (iii) or (iv) above), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (except for covenants or other provisions applicable only to the periods after the latest maturity date of the Term Loan Facility or any existing Incremental Term Facility existing at the time such Incremental Term Facility is incurred) (it being understood to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any Incremental Term Facility, no consent shall be required from any Administrative Agent or any Lender to the extent that such financial maintenance covenant is also added for the	
 
B-3

 
 	 	benefit of the Term Loan Facility).	
 	 	 	
 	 	As used herein, (a) the “First Lien Leverage Ratio” means the ratio of total senior secured first lien net debt (calculated net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) for borrowed money (as well as capital leases and purchase money obligations) secured by first priority liens on assets of the Credit Parties to trailing four-quarter EBITDA, (b) the “ Senior Secured Leverage Ratio ” means the ratio of total secured net debt (calculated net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents) for borrowed money (as well as capital leases and purchase money obligations) secured by liens on assets of the Credit Parties to trailing four-quarter EBITDA and (c) the “ Total Leverage Ratio ” means the ratio of total net debt (calculated net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents other than the proceeds of Incremental Term Facilities to be drawn at such time) for borrowed money, capital leases and purchase money obligations to trailing four-quarter EBITDA.
 
The Facilities will permit the Borrower to utilize availability under the Incremental Facilities amount to issue first lien indebtedness (provided that any first lien term loans in the form of a term loan B or similar form of institutional term loan shall be subject to the MFN Protection) or junior lien secured indebtedness (in each case, subject to customary intercreditor terms to be mutually agreed and set forth in an exhibit to the definitive documentation for the Facilities (the “ Intercreditor Terms ”), and such indebtedness, “ Incremental Equivalent Debt ”), or unsecured indebtedness, with the amount of such secured or unsecured indebtedness reducing the aggregate principal amount available for the Incremental Facilities; provided  that such secured or unsecured indebtedness (i) does not mature on or prior to the maturity date of, or have a shorter weighted average life than, loans under the Term Loan Facility, (ii) reflects terms not materially more favorable to lenders than the Term Loan Facility (it being understood to the extent that any financial maintenance covenant is added for the benefit of any such debt, such financial maintenance covenant shall also be added for the benefit of any corresponding existing Facility), (iii) there shall be no borrower or guarantor in respect of any such indebtedness that is not the Borrower or a Guarantor and (iv) if secured, such indebtedness shall not be secured by any assets of the Borrower or its subsidiaries that do not constitute Collateral.	
 	 	 	
Purpose/Use of Proceeds:	 	(A) The proceeds of borrowings under the Term Loan Facility will be used by the Borrower, on the date of the initial borrowing under the Facilities (the “ Closing Date ”), together with the proceeds of the Revolving Loans and cash on hand of the Borrower and the Company, solely to provide Acquisition Funds.
 
(B) The Letters of Credit and proceeds of Revolving Loans will be used by the Borrower and its subsidiaries for working capital and for other general corporate purposes (including to finance the Transactions and any other transactions not prohibited by the Facilities Documentation).	
 	 	 	
Availability:	 	(A) The Term Loan Facility will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date.  Amounts borrowed under the Term Loan Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
 
(B) (i) Revolving Loans (exclusive of Letter of Credit usage) may be made available on the Closing Date to finance the Transactions in an aggregate amount	
 
B-4

 
 	 	not to exceed $10 million and (ii) any amount needed to fund any OID or upfront fees required to be funded on the Closing Date due to the exercise of the “Market Flex Provisions” under the Fee Letter may be funded with Revolving Loans on the Closing Date.  Additionally, Letters of Credit may be issued on the Closing Date in order to backstop or replace letters of credit outstanding on the Closing Date under the facilities no longer available to the Company or any of its affiliates as of the Closing Date (and such existing letters of credit may be deemed Letters of Credit outstanding under the Revolving Facility).  Otherwise, Revolving Loans will be available at any time prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon.  Amounts repaid under the Revolving Facility may be reborrowed.	
 	 	 	
Interest Rates and Fees:	 	As set forth on Annex I to this Exhibit B.	
 	 	 	
Default Rate:	 	During the continuance of any payment or bankruptcy event of default under the Facilities Documentation, with respect to overdue principal, the applicable interest rate plus 2.00% per annum, and with respect to any other overdue amount, including overdue interest, the interest rate applicable to ABR loans (as defined in Annex I) plus 2.00% per annum.	
 	 	 	
Letters of Credit:	 	No less than an amount to be agreed of the Revolving Facility will be available to the Borrower for the purpose of issuing letters of credit and each Lender that agrees in writing to be an Issuing Lender (as defined below) in a fronting capacity for such amount.  Letters of Credit will be issued by the Administrative Agent and other Revolving Lenders (reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) who agree to issue Letters of Credit (each, an “ Issuing Lender ”).  Each Letter of Credit shall expire not later than the earlier of (a) 12 months after its date of issuance or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender and (b) the fifth business day prior to the final maturity of the Revolving Facility;  provided  that any Letter of Credit may provide for automatic renewal thereof for additional periods of up to 12 months or such longer period of time as may be agreed by the applicable Issuing Lender (which in no event shall extend beyond the date referred to in clause (b) above, except to the extent cash collateralized or backstopped pursuant to arrangements reasonably acceptable to the relevant Issuing Lender,  provided  that no Revolving Lender shall be required to fund participations in Letters of Credit after the maturity date applicable to its commitments).  The issuance of all letters of credit shall be subject to the customary policies and procedures of the relevant Issuing Lender.	
 	 	 	
Final Maturity and Amortization :	 	(A)                              The Term Loan Facility
 
The Term Loan Facility will mature on the date that is seven years after the Closing Date and, commencing at least one full fiscal quarter after the Closing Date, will amortize in equal quarterly installments in aggregate annual amounts equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility with the balance payable on the seventh anniversary of the Closing Date;  provided  that the Facilities Documentation shall provide the right of individual Term Loan Lenders to agree to extend the maturity of their Term Loans upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender (as further described	
 
B-5

 
 	 	below).
 
(B)                              Revolving Facility
 
The Revolving Facility will mature, and Revolving Commitments will terminate, on the date that is five years after the Closing Date;  provided  that the Facilities Documentation shall provide the right of individual Revolving Lenders to agree to extend the maturity of their Revolving Commitments and Revolving Loans upon the request of the Borrower and without the consent of any other Lender (as further described below).
 
The Facilities Documentation shall contain customary “amend and extend” provisions pursuant to which any individual Lender may agree to extend (which may include, among other things, an increase in the interest rates payable with respect to such extended loans, which extensions shall not be subject to any “default stopper”, financial tests or “most favored nation pricing provisions”) the maturity date of its outstanding commitments in respect of the Revolving Facility or under any Incremental Revolving Facility or in respect of any class of Term Loans (including any Incremental Term Loans), in each case, upon the request of the Borrower  and without the consent of any other Lender (it is understood that (i) no existing Lender will have any obligation to commit to any such extension and (ii) each Lender under the class being extended shall have the opportunity to participate in such extension on the same terms and conditions as each other Lender under such class).	
 	 	 	
Guarantees:	 	All obligations of the Borrower (the “Obligations”) under (i) the Facilities (“ Facilities Obligations ”), (ii) at the written request of the Borrower, interest rate protection, commodity trading or hedging, currency exchange or other non-speculative hedging or swap arrangements (other than any obligation of any Guarantor to pay or perform under any agreement, contract, or transaction that constitutes a “swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act (a “ Swap ”), if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of the guarantee by such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Credit Party of a security interest to secure, such Swap (or any guarantee thereof) is or becomes illegal or unlawful under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation, or order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or official interpretation of any thereof)) entered into by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries with the Administrative Agent, any Lender, Lead Arranger or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or Lead Arranger at the time of entering into such arrangements (the “ Hedging Arrangements ”) (collectively, “ Hedging Obligations ”) and (iii) at the written request of the Borrower, cash management and treasury arrangements entered into by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries with the Administrative Agent, any Lender, Lead Arranger or any affiliate of the Administrative Agent, a Lender or Lead Arranger at the time of entering into such arrangement (“ Treasury Arrangements ”) (collectively, “ Cash Management Obligations ”) will be unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on an equal priority senior secured basis (the “ Guarantees ”) by each existing and subsequently acquired or organized direct or indirect wholly-owned U.S. restricted subsidiary of the Borrower (other than any such subsidiary (a) that is a subsidiary of a non-U.S. subsidiary of the Borrower that is a “controlled foreign corporation” within the meaning of Section 957 of the Code (a “ CFC ”),	
 
B-6

 
 	 	(b) that is a U.S. subsidiary that has no material assets other than the capital stock of one or more direct or indirect non-U.S. subsidiaries that are CFCs (a “ CFC Holdco ”), (c) that has been designated as an unrestricted subsidiary, (d) that is below a materiality threshold (based on assets or revenues) to be agreed, (e) that is not permitted by law, regulation or contract (permitted under the Facilities Documentation) (with respect to any such contract, only to the extent existing on the Closing Date or on the date the applicable person becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of the Borrower and not incurred in contemplation thereof) to provide such guarantee, or would require governmental (including regulatory) consent, approval, license or authorization to provide such guarantee, (unless such consent, approval, license or authorization has been received), or for which the provision of such guarantee would result in a material adverse tax consequence to the Borrower or one of its subsidiaries (as reasonably determined by the Borrower in consultation with the Administrative Agent), (f) that is a special purpose entity (including not for profit entities and captive insurance companies) or (g) any restricted subsidiary acquired pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition (to be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed)) financed with secured indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to the Facilities Documentation as assumed indebtedness (and not incurred in contemplation of such Permitted Acquisition) and any restricted subsidiary thereof that guarantees such indebtedness, in each case to the extent such secured indebtedness prohibits such subsidiary from becoming a Guarantor) (the “ Guarantors ”; and together with the Borrower, the “ Credit Parties ”).  In addition, certain subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements under the Facilities Documentation in circumstances where the Borrower and the Administrative Agent reasonably agree that the cost of providing such a guarantee is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby. 	
 	 	 	
 	 	Subject only to the restricted payment covenant in the Facilities Documentation and (i) no continuing event of default and (ii) pro forma compliance with the Financial Covenant (whether or not then in effect), the Borrower may designate any subsidiary as an “unrestricted subsidiary” and subsequently redesignate any such unrestricted subsidiary as a restricted subsidiary.  Unrestricted subsidiaries will be excluded from the guarantee requirements and will not be subject to the representations and warranties, covenants, events of default or other provisions of the Facilities Documentation, and the results of operations and indebtedness of unrestricted subsidiaries will not be taken into account for purposes of calculating any financial metric contained in the Facilities Documentation except to the extent of distributions received therefrom.	
 	 	 	
Security:	 	Subject to the limitations set forth below in this section, and, on the Closing Date, the Funding Conditions Provisions, Facilities Obligations, the Guarantees in respect of the Facilities Obligations, the Hedging Arrangements and the Treasury Arrangements (collectively, the “ Secured Obligations ”) will be secured on a first priority basis by substantially all of the present and after acquired assets of each of the Credit Parties (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below), the “ Collateral ”), including, (a) a perfected first priority pledge of all the capital stock of each direct, wholly owned material restricted subsidiary held by any Credit Party (which pledge, in the case of any foreign subsidiary that is a CFC or any CFC Holdco shall be limited to 66% of the voting capital stock and 100% of the non-voting capital stock of such CFC or CFC Holdco) and (b) a perfected security interest in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the

 	 	foregoing described in clauses (i) through (x) are, collectively, the “Excluded Assets ”.	
 	 	 	
 	 	No actions in any non-U.S. jurisdiction or required by the laws of any non-U.S. jurisdiction shall be required to be taken to create any security interests in assets located or titled outside of the U.S. or to perfect or make enforceable any security interests in any assets (it being understood that there shall be no security agreements or pledge agreements governed under the laws of any non U.S. jurisdiction).	
 	 	 	
 	 	All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created and perfected on terms in Facilities Documentation, and none of the Collateral or other assets of the Credit Parties shall be subject to other pledges, security interests or mortgages, subject to customary exceptions for financings of this kind.	
 	 	 	
Mandatory Prepayments:	 	The Term Loans shall be prepaid with (a) commencing with the fiscal year of the Borrower ending December 31, 2017, 50% of Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed (and, in any event, to include deduction for all cash restructuring charges and investments, capital expenditures, restricted payments and to be used to fund planned acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures in cash, subject to certain limitations to be agreed)) of the Borrower, with a reduction to 25% and elimination based upon achievement of First Lien Leverage Ratios of 0.25x inside the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and 0.75x inside the First Lien Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date, respectively;  provided that (i) any voluntary prepayments or commitment reductions of loans under the Facilities (including, without duplication, prepayments at a discount to par offered to all Lenders under the Term Loan Facility or under any Incremental Term Facility, with credit given for the actual amount of the cash payment) shall be credited against excess cash flow prepayment obligations of any fiscal year on a dollar-for-dollar basis (other than to the extent such prepayments are funded with the proceeds of long-term indebtedness) (with the First Lien Leverage Ratio of the Borrower for purposes of determining the applicable Excess Cash Flow percentage above, recalculated to give pro forma effect to any such pay down or reduction after the end of the prior fiscal year and prior to making such Excess Cash Flow payment) and (ii) no Excess Cash Flow payment shall be required if Excess Cash Flow during such year is equal to or less than $5 million; (b) 100% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of indebtedness by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than indebtedness permitted under the Facilities Documentation (other than Refinancing Debt) (to be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed)) and (c) 100% of the net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property by the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (including insurance and condemnation proceeds) in excess of an amount to be agreed for each individual asset sale or disposition and an amount to be agreed in the aggregate for any fiscal year (with only the amount in excess of such annual limit required to be offered to prepay) and subject to the right of the Borrower to reinvest such proceeds if such proceeds are reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) within 12 months and, if so committed to reinvestment, reinvested within 6 months thereafter, and other exceptions to be agreed upon.	
 
B-9

 
 	 	Notwithstanding the foregoing, mandatory prepayments shall be limited to the extent that the Borrower determines in good faith that such prepayments would either (i) result in material adverse tax consequences related to the repatriation of funds in connection therewith by non-guarantor subsidiaries or (ii) be prohibited or delayed by applicable law.
 
Mandatory prepayments required under the Facilities Documentation may, if required pursuant to the terms of any other indebtedness secured pari passu with the Facilities, be applied to the Term Loans outstanding under the applicable Facility and such other pari passu indebtedness, in each case on a ratable basis based on the outstanding principal amounts thereof (or if so provided under the terms of such other pari passu indebtedness, applied on a less than ratable basis to the amounts outstanding under such indebtedness).	
 	 	 	
 	 	Within the Term Loan Facility, mandatory prepayments shall be applied first, to accrued interest and fees due on the amount of the prepayment under the Term Loan Facility and second, directly to the scheduled installments of principal of the Term Loan Facility in direct order of maturity.	
 	 	 	
 	 	Any Term Loan Lender may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment made pursuant to clause (a) or (c) above (each a “ Declining Lender ”).  Any prepayment amount declined (such amount, a “ Declined Amount ”) by a Declining Lender may be retained by the Borrower and shall be added to the Available Amount Basket (as defined below).	
 	 	 	
Voluntary Prepayments and Reductions in Commitments :	 	Voluntary reductions of the unutilized portion of the Revolving Commitments and prepayments of borrowings under the Facilities will be permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty, subject to reimbursement of the Lenders’ redeployment costs actually incurred in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR borrowings other than on the last day of the relevant interest period.  All voluntary prepayments of the Term Loan Facility and any Incremental Term Facility will be applied to the remaining amortization payments under the Term Loan Facility or such Incremental Term Facility, as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof), including to any class of extending or existing Loans in such order as the Borrower may designate, and shall be applied to the Term Loan Facility or any Incremental Term Facility as determined by the Borrower.
 
Any voluntary prepayment or refinancing (other than a refinancing of the Term Loan Facility in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a change of control or Transformative Acquisition (as defined below)) of the Term Loan Facility with other term loans under credit facilities with a lower Effective Yield (as defined below) than the Effective Yield of the Term Loan Facility, or any amendment (other than an amendment of the Term Loan Facility in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a change of control or Transformative Acquisition) that reduces the Effective Yield of the Term Loan Facility, in either case that occurs prior to the six month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “ Soft Call Date ”) and the primary purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of which is to lower the Effective Yield on the Term Loan Facility, shall be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid, refinanced or	
 
B-10

 
 	 	amended. For such purposes (i) “Transformative Acquisition” shall mean any acquisition by the Borrower or any restricted subsidiary that is not permitted by the terms of the Facilities Documentation immediately prior to the consummation of such acquisition and (ii) “ Effective Yield ” shall mean, as of any date of determination, the sum of (x) the higher of (A) the LIBOR rate on such date for a deposit in dollars with a maturity of one month and (B) the LIBOR floor, if any, with respect thereto as of such date, (y) the interest rate margins as of such date (with such interest rate margin and interest spreads to be determined by reference to the LIBOR rate) and (z) the amount of OID and upfront fees thereon paid generally to lenders (converted to yield assuming a four-year average life and without any present value discount).	
 	 	 	
Documentation:	 	The Facilities will be documented under a single credit agreement (the “Facilities Documentation ”) reflecting the terms set forth in this Exhibit B and will otherwise be negotiated in good faith within a reasonable time period to be determined based on the expected Closing Date and will be substantially similar to the Parent Existing Credit Agreement, as modified (a) to reflect (i) the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries giving effect to the Acquisition (including in light of its size, industries, businesses and business practices, locations, operations and financial accounting, and the Projections set forth in the Acquisition Model (as defined below) and (ii) reasonable modifications to the mechanical, operational, administrative and agency provisions to reflect the administrative guidelines and practices of the Administrative Agent, and (b) to give due regard to applicable legal and regulatory developments including modifications to include customary EU bail-in provisions.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the only conditions to the availability of the Facilities on the Closing Date shall be the applicable conditions set forth in the “Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing” section below and in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter.  The Facilities Documentation shall contain only those representations, events of default and covenants as set forth in this Exhibit B.	
 	 	 	
Limited Condition Transaction :	 	For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the Facilities Documentation which requires the calculation of the First Lien Leverage Ratio, Senior Secured Leverage Ratio, the Total Leverage Ratio or the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (to be defined in a manner to be mutually agreed), (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, defaults or events of default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the Facilities Documentation (including baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA), in each case, in connection with an acquisition or an investment by one or more of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries otherwise permitted by the Facilities Documentation whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (any such acquisition or investment, a “ Limited Condition Transaction ”), at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Transaction, an “ LCT Election ”), the date of determination of whether any such action is permitted hereunder, shall be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Transaction are entered into (the “ LCT Test Date ”), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Transaction and the other transactions to be entered into in connection therewith as if they had occurred at the beginning of the most recent test period ending prior to the LCT Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCT Test Date in	
 
B-11

 
 	 	compliance with such ratio or basket, such ratio or basket shall be deemed to have been complied with.
 
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Borrower has made an LCT Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCT Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations of the target of any Limited Condition Transaction) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant transaction or action, such baskets or ratios will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations.  If the Borrower has made an LCT Election for any Limited Condition Transaction, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCT Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Transaction is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Transaction, any such calculation shall be made on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Transaction and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) had been consummated.	
 	 	 	
Conditions Precedent to Initial Borrowing :	 	The availability of the initial borrowing and other extensions of credit under the Facilities on the Closing Date will be subject solely to (x) the applicable conditions set forth in Exhibit C to the Commitment Letter, (y) subject to the Funding Conditions Provisions, the Company Representations and the Specified Representations being true and correct in all material respects ( provided  that any such Specified Representations which are qualified by materiality, material adverse effect or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects and  provided further that the condition in this clause (y) relating to the Company Representations shall be deemed satisfied unless a breach of any such Company Representations has resulted in Parent or any of Parent’s affiliates having the right to terminate its obligations under the Acquisition Agreement (or otherwise decline to consummate the Acquisition without any liability, in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement)) and (z) the delivery of a customary borrowing notice ( provided  that such notice shall not include any representation or statement as to the absence (or existence) of any default or event of default or a bring-down of representations and warranties (other than the Specified Representations and Company Representations)).	
 	 	 	
 	 	All of the representations and warranties will be required to be made in connection with the extension of credit on the Closing Date, except that the failure of any representation or warranty (other than the Specified Representations and the Company Representations) to be true and correct on the Closing Date will not constitute the failure of a condition precedent to funding.	
 	 	 	
Conditions Precedent to All Subsequent Borrowings :	 	After the Closing Date, each extension of credit will be conditioned upon: delivery of a borrowing notice, accuracy of representations and warranties in all material respects (provided that any such representations and warranties which are qualified by materiality, material adverse effect or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects) and absence of defaults or events of default.

In Intralinks’ 20-year history, over 4.1 million business users across the world have used its secure, cloud-based platform, and it counts 99% of Fortune 1000 companies among its customers. To date, Intralinks has supported over $31 trillion in high-stakes transactions, making the company a leader in the enterprise content collaboration market.

 
“Intralinks has established itself as a household name in the financial services world over the past 20 years, with a keen focus on growing its presence into the next generation secure content collaboration market over the coming years,” said Stephen Waldis, Synchronoss’ CEO.  “This acquisition marks another major step in the transformation of Synchronoss to significantly expand the scale and scope of the company’s enterprise initiatives and strong carrier relationships in attacking this multi-billion dollar market opportunity. Ron brings significant leadership experience and a history of successfully integrating companies into a single portfolio.  I intend to stay active in the company, driving growth opportunities and continued developments on new product innovation. I am excited to be working closely with Ron to bring Synchronoss into its next chapter of growth”.
 
“Our board of directors unanimously concluded that Synchronoss is the ideal strategic partner for Intralinks and also gives our employees and customers the opportunity to leverage Synchronoss’ deep relationships across the carrier space, cloud expertise, and strong partnerships in the financial  services vertical,” said Ron Hovsepian, CEO of Intralinks. “Together with Synchronoss, we believe we can deploy enhanced enterprise and mobile solutions to our customers while opening up new enterprise distribution channels across the world.”
 
In conjunction with today’s announcement Synchronoss is also announcing an agreement to divest a portion of its activation business to Sequential Technology International, LLC for a total purchase price of $146 million.  As part of this transaction, Sequential Technology will purchase 70% of Synchronoss’ carrier activation business that is being divested, with Synchronoss retaining a 30% ownership piece which could be reduced during the course of 2017.  Synchronoss is in the process of pursuing strategic alternatives for the remaining activation business assets.
 
Synchronoss expects to finance the Intralinks acquisition with its existing cash, proceeds from the Sequential Technology transaction, and $900 million of new debt.
 
Given the expected closing in the first calendar quarter of 2017, Synchronoss expects the Intralinks transaction to have no impact to its fourth quarter financials.  With the impact from the Sequential Technology divestiture and assuming a late first quarter 2017 close on the Intralinks deal, Synchronoss is giving initial 2017 revenue guidance of between $810 million and $820 million with pro forma EPS of between $2.45 and $2.60 for the combined entity.  We are targeting $40 million of combined synergies within the first year of closing the Intralinks deal.
 
The Intralinks transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval in the United States. Until the transaction closes, each company will continue to operate independently.
 
PJT Partners is serving as lead financial advisor. Goldman Sachs & Co. and Credit Suisse are providing debt financing commitments to Synchronoss and Goldman Sachs & Co. is also serving as financial advisor to

 
Synchronoss.   J.P. Morgan Securities LLC is serving as a financial advisor to Intralinks.  Gunderson Dettmer Stough Villeneuve Franklin & Hachigian, LLP is acting as legal advisor to Synchronoss in connection with the Intralinks acquisition, and Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is acting as legal advisor in connection with the debt financing to Synchronoss.  Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, LLP is acting as legal advisor to Intralinks in connection with the acquisition.
