Item 1.01 | Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement |
Merger Agreement
On December 18, 2019, Xperi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Xperi”) and TiVo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“TiVo”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Xperi and TiVo have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, to effect an all-stock, merger of equals strategic combination of their respective businesses by: (i) forming XRAY-TWOLF HoldCo Corporation, a Delaware corporation jointly owned by Xperi and TiVo (“HoldCo”), (ii) Xperi merging with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, with Xperi surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “Xperi Merger”), (iii) TiVo merging with a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo, with TiVo surviving such merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “TiVo Merger” and, together with the Xperi Merger, the “Mergers”), and (iv) as of the effective time of the Mergers (the “Effective Time”), changing the name of HoldCo to be “Xperi Corporation”.
The board of directors of each of Xperi and TiVo have approved the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby.
Merger Consideration
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each share of common stock of Xperi (the “Xperi Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of Xperi Common Stock that are held in treasury) will be converted into the right to receive one share of common stock of HoldCo (“HoldCo Common Stock”) per share of Xperi Common Stock and each share of common stock of TiVo (the “TiVo Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any shares of TiVo that are held in treasury) will be converted into the right to receive 0.455 shares of HoldCo Common Stock. The aforementioned 0.455 exchange ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement will result in Xperi stockholders owning approximately 46.5% of HoldCo Common Stock following the Effective Time and TiVo stockholders owning approximately 53.5% of the outstanding shares of HoldCo Common Stock following the Effective Time.
The Merger Agreement provides that, at the Effective Time, the Xperi stock options and other equity awards and the TiVo stock options and other equity awards generally will automatically convert into stock options and equity awards with respect to HoldCo Common Stock, on the same terms and conditions under the applicable plans and award agreements immediately prior to the Effective Time after giving effect to the exchange ratio and appropriate adjustments to reflect the consummation of the Mergers.
Registration and Listing of HoldCo Common Stock
Xperi and TiVo will prepare and will cause HoldCo to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), a registration statement on Form S-4 in connection with the issuance of shares of HoldCo Common Stock in the Mergers (the “Form S-4”), which will include as a prospectus a joint proxy statement relating to the Xperi stockholders special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement and the TiVo stockholders special meeting to adopt the Merger Agreement (the “Joint Proxy Statement”). Xperi, TiVo and HoldCo have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to have the Form S-4 declared effective as promptly as practicable after filing.
After the Effective Time, HoldCo Common Stock will be listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (the “Nasdaq”).
Governance
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, as of the Effective Time, HoldCo will have its headquarters in San Jose, California.
Following the completion of the transaction, Xperi’s Chief Executive Officer, Jon Kirchner, will serve as Chief Executive Officer of HoldCo and Xperi’s CFO, Robert Andersen, will serve as Chief Financial Officer.
HoldCo will have a board of directors (the “HoldCo Board”) consisting initially of seven directors, (i) one of whom will be Jon Kirchner, (ii) three of whom will be persons designated by Xperi, and (iii) three of whom will be persons designated by TiVo. At least two out of the three persons designated by Xperi and TiVo each, respectively, must qualify as independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq and the applicable rules of the SEC. The Chairman of the HoldCo Board will be appointed by only those members of the HoldCo Board who qualify as independent under the listing standards of the Nasdaq and the applicable rules of the SEC.
For a period of two years following the Effective Time, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the HoldCo Board shall consist of four members, consisting of two members appointed by Xperi and two members appointed by TiVo.
Conditions to the Mergers
The completion of the Mergers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including (i) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of Xperi Common Stock entitled to vote thereon; (ii) the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of TiVo Common Stock entitled to vote thereon; (iii) expiration or termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Act; (iv) the absence of governmental restraints or prohibitions preventing the consummation of either of the Mergers; (v) the effectiveness of the Form S-4 and absence of any stop order or proceedings by the SEC; and (vi) the approval of the shares of HoldCo Common Stock to be issued in the Merger for listing on the Nasdaq. The obligation of each of Xperi and TiVo to consummate the Mergers is also conditioned on, among other things, the receipt of a tax opinion from tax counsel as to the tax-free nature of each of the Mergers, the truth and correctness of the representations and warranties made by the other party as of the closing date (subject to certain “materiality” and “material adverse effect” qualifiers) and there being no material adverse effect with respect to Xperi or TiVo.
Certain Other Terms of the Merger Agreement
The Merger Agreement contains mutual customary representations and warranties made by each of Xperi and TiVo, and also contains mutual customary pre-closing covenants, including covenants, among others, (i) to operate its businesses in the ordinary course consistent with past practice and to refrain from taking certain actions without the other party’s consent, (ii) not to solicit, initiate or knowingly take any action to facilitate or encourage, and, subject to certain exceptions, not to participate or engage in any discussions or negotiations, or cooperate in any way with respect to, any inquiries or the making of, any proposal of an alternative transaction, (iii) subject to certain exceptions, not to withdraw, qualify or modify the support of its board of directors for the Merger Agreement and the Xperi Merger or the TiVo Merger, as applicable, and (iv) to use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain governmental, regulatory and third party approvals. In addition, the Merger Agreement contains covenants that require each of Xperi and TiVo to call and hold a special stockholder meeting and, subject to certain exceptions, require each of the board of directors of Xperi and TiVo to recommend to its stockholders to approve the Mergers and adopt the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for each of Xperi and TiVo, including in the event that (i) the Mergers are not consummated on or before September 30, 2020 (the “Outside Date”) in the event that the regulatory closing conditions have not been satisfied, (ii) the approval of the Mergers and the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the stockholders of Xperi or the stockholders of TiVo is not obtained at the respective stockholder meetings or (iii) if any restraint having the effect of preventing the consummation of the Xperi Merger or the TiVo Merger shall have become final and nonappealable or if any governmental entity that must grant a requisite regulatory approval has denied approval of the Xperi Merger or the TiVo Merger. In addition, Xperi and TiVo can each terminate the Merger Agreement prior to the stockholder meeting of the other party if, among other things, the other party’s board of directors has changed its recommendation that its stockholders approve the Xperi Merger or the TiVo Merger, as applicable, and adopt the Merger Agreement, or has failed to make or reaffirm such recommendation in certain circumstances.
The Merger Agreement further provides that, a termination fee will be payable by Xperi or TiVo, as the case may be, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, including:
(i) a change in the recommendation of the board of directors of Xperi or TiVo, as applicable or
(ii) a termination of the Merger Agreement by Xperi or TiVo, as applicable, because of (a) a failure of the stockholders of the other party to adopt the Merger Agreement at the stockholder meeting, (b) a material breach by the other party or (c) because the Mergers are not consummated by the Outside Date, in each case set forth in this clause (ii) at a time when there was an offer or proposal for an alternative transaction with respect to such party and such party enters into or consummates an alternative transaction within 12 months following such date of termination.
In the event that such termination fee is payable by Xperi to TiVo, Xperi will pay to TiVo a termination fee equal to $44 million in cash, and in the event that such fee is payable by TiVo to Xperi, TiVo will pay to Xperi a termination fee equal to $50.8 million in cash, in the event such fee is payable by TiVo.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference. 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 Xperi or
TiVo. In particular, the assertions embodied in the representations and warranties contained in the Merger Agreement are qualified by information in confidential disclosure letters provided by each of Xperi and TiVo in connection with the signing of the Merger Agreement. These confidential disclosure letters contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties and certain 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 Xperi and TiVo rather than establishing matters as facts and were made only as of the date of the Merger Agreement (or such other date or dates as may be specified in the Merger Agreement). Accordingly, the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement should not be relied upon as characterizations of the actual state of facts about Xperi or TiVo.
Financing Commitment Letters
Financing of the Merger
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Xperi and TiVo obtained a debt commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”), dated December 18, 2019, with Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”), BofA Securities, Inc. and Royal Bank of Canada (“Royal Bank”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Bank of America and Royal Bank have committed to provide a senior secured first lien term loan B facility in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100 million (the “Debt Financing”). The proceeds from the Debt Financing may be used (i) to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Merger and the related transactions, (ii) to finance the refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of Xperi and TiVo, and (iii) to the extent of any remaining amounts, for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
The foregoing summary of the Commitment Letter and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Commitment Letter attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
Important Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed transaction, Xperi and TiVo will cause HoldCo to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 that will include a joint proxy statement of Xperi and TiVo and that also will constitute a prospectus of HoldCo (“Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”). Xperi, TiVo and HoldCo may also file other documents with the SEC regarding the proposed transaction. This document is not a substitute for the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any other document which Xperi, TiVo or HoldCo may file with the SEC. INVESTORS, XPERI STOCKHOLDERS AND TIVO STOCKHOLDERS ARE URGED TO READ THE JOINT PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT ARE FILED OR WILL BE FILED WITH THE SEC, AS WELL AS ANY AMENDMENTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO THESE DOCUMENTS, CAREFULLY AND IN THEIR ENTIRETY BECAUSE THEY CONTAIN OR WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION AND RELATED MATTERS. Investors, Xperi stockholders and TiVo stockholders may obtain free copies of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (when available) and other documents that are filed or will be filed with the SEC by Xperi, TiVo or HoldCo through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or by contacting the investor relations department of Xperi or TiVo at the following:

Participants in the Solicitation
Xperi, TiVo or HoldCo and their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies in respect of the proposed transaction.

Xperi stockholders and TiVo stockholders may obtain additional information regarding the direct and indirect interests of the participants in the solicitation of proxies in connection with the proposed transaction, including the interests of Xperi and TiVo directors and executive officers in the transaction, which may be different than those of Xperi and TiVo stockholders generally, by reading the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus and any other relevant documents that are filed or will be filed with the SEC relating to the transaction.
No Offer or Solicitation
This document is not intended to and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote of approval, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. No offer of securities shall be made except by means of a prospectus meeting the requirements of Section 10 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on Xperi’s and TiVo’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the expected date of closing of the proposed transaction and the potential benefits thereof, its business and industry, management’s beliefs and certain assumptions made by Xperi and TiVo, all of which are subject to change. In this context, forward-looking statements often address expected future business and financial performance and financial condition, and often contain words such as “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “could,” “seek,” “see,” “will,” “may,” “would,” “might,” “potentially,” “estimate,” “continue,” “expect,” “target,” similar expressions or the negatives of these words or other comparable terminology that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes. All forward-looking statements by their nature address matters that involve risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, and are not guarantees of future results, such as statements about the consummation of the proposed transaction and the anticipated benefits thereof. These and other forward-looking statements, including the failure to consummate the proposed transaction or to make or take any filing or other action required to consummate the transaction on a timely matter or at all, are not guarantees of future results and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated in such statements and, therefore, you should not place undue reliance on any such statements and caution must be exercised in relying on forward-looking statements. Important risk factors that may cause such a difference include, but are not limited to: (i) the completion of the proposed transaction on anticipated terms and timing, including obtaining shareholder and regulatory approvals, anticipated tax treatment, unforeseen liabilities and other conditions to the completion of the transaction; (ii) failure to realize the anticipated benefits of the proposed transaction, including as a result of delay in completing the transaction or integrating the businesses of Xperi and TiVo; (iii) potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against Xperi, TiVo or their respective directors; (iv) the risk that disruptions from the proposed transaction will harm Xperi’s or TiVo’s business, including current plans and operations; (v) the ability of Xperi or TiVo to retain and hire key personnel; (vi) potential adverse reactions or changes to business relationships resulting from the announcement or completion of the proposed transaction; (vii) uncertainty as to the long-term value of HoldCo Common Stock; (viii) legislative, regulatory and economic developments affecting Xperi’s and TiVo’s businesses; (ix) general economic and market developments and conditions; (x) the evolving legal, regulatory and tax regimes under which Xperi and TiVo operate; (xi) potential business uncertainty, including changes to existing business relationships, during the pendency of the proposed transaction that could affect Xperi’s and/or TiVo’s financial performance; (xii) restrictions during the pendency of the proposed transaction that may impact Xperi’s or TiVo’s ability to pursue certain business opportunities or strategic transactions; (xiii) unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of war or hostilities, as well as Xperi’s and TiVo’s response to any of the aforementioned factors; (xiv) failure to receive the approval of the stockholders of Xperi and/or TiVo; and (xv) any plans regarding a potential separation of the combined businesses. These risks, as well as other risks associated with the proposed transaction, are more fully discussed in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be filed with the SEC in connection with the proposed transaction. While the list of factors presented here is, and the list of factors presented in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will be, considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to the realization of forward looking statements. Consequences of material differences in results as compared with those anticipated in the forward-looking statements could include, among other things, business disruption, operational problems, financial loss, legal liability to third parties and similar risks, any of which could have a material adverse effect on Xperi’s or TiVo’s consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity. Neither Xperi nor TiVo assumes any obligation to publicly provide revisions or updates to any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, should circumstances change, except as otherwise required by securities and other applicable laws.

8
Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the applicable Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share, as applicable, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Holdco, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that number of whole shares of Holdco Common Stock and/or cash, as applicable, that such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. If any portion of the applicable Merger Consideration is to be registered in the name of a person other than the person in whose name the applicable surrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share is registered, it shall be a condition to the registration of such Merger Consideration that the surrendered Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such delivery of the Merger Consideration shall pay to the Exchange Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of such registration in the name of a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Exchange Agent that such tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.3, each Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the applicable Merger Consideration. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue for the benefit of holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares on the applicable Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.
(c) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Holdco Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered Certificate or Book-Entry Share with respect to any shares of Holdco Common Stock represented thereby, and no cash payment in lieu of fractional shares shall be paid to any such holder pursuant to Section 3.3(e), in each case until the surrender of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with this Article III. Subject to the effect of applicable Laws, following surrender of any such Certificate or Book-Entry Share, there shall be paid to the holder of shares of Holdco Common Stock issued in exchange therefor, without interest, (i) at the time of such surrender, the amount of any cash payable in lieu of a fractional share of Holdco Common Stock to which such holder is entitled pursuant to Section 3.3(e) and the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time theretofore paid with respect to such shares of Holdco Common Stock, and (ii) at the appropriate payment date, the amount of dividends or other distributions with a record date after the Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date subsequent to such surrender payable with respect to such shares of Holdco Common Stock.
(d) No Further Ownership Rights in XRAY Common Stock and TWOLF Common Stock. All shares of Holdco Common Stock issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been issued (and paid) in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the shares of XRAY Common Stock or TWOLF Common Stock, as applicable, theretofore represented by such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, subject, however, to the obligation of Holdco to pay any dividends or make any other distributions with a record date prior to the Effective Time that may have been declared or made by XRAY or TWOLF, as applicable, on such shares of XRAY Common Stock or TWOLF Common Stock in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and that remain unpaid at the Effective Time, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the XRAY Surviving Corporation of the shares of XRAY Common Stock, or the TWOLF Surviving Corporation of the shares of TWOLF Common Stock, that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are presented to Holdco or the Exchange Agent for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article III, except as otherwise provided by law.
(e) Fractional Shares.
(i) No certificates representing fractional shares of Holdco Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and such fractional share interests shall not entitle the owner thereof to vote or to any other rights of a stockholder of Holdco.
9
(ii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each holder of shares of TWOLF Common Stock converted pursuant to either Merger who would otherwise have been entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Holdco Common Stock (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares delivered by such holder) shall receive, in lieu thereof, cash (without interest) in an amount equal to such fraction as determined below. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall determine the excess of (i) the number of full shares of Holdco Common Stock delivered to the Exchange Agent by Holdco for issuance to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares over (ii) the aggregate number of full shares of Holdco Common Stock to be distributed to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (such excess being herein referred to as the Excess Shares). As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent, as agent for such holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, shall sell the Excess Shares at then prevailing prices on the NYSE, all in the manner provided herein.
(iii) The sale of the Excess Shares by the Exchange Agent shall be executed on the NYSE and shall be executed in round lots to the extent practicable. Until the net proceeds of any such sale or sales have been distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, the Exchange Agent shall hold such proceeds in trust for such holders. The net proceeds of any such sale or sales of Excess Shares to be distributed to the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be reduced by any and all commissions, transfer taxes and other out-of-pocket transaction costs, as well as any expenses, of the Exchange Agent incurred in connection with such sale or sales. The Exchange Agent shall determine the portion of such net proceeds to which each holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled, if any, by multiplying the amount of the aggregate net proceeds by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of the fractional share interest to which such holder of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares is entitled (after taking into account all Certificates and Book-Entry Shares then held by such holder) and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of fractional share interests to which all holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares are entitled. As soon as practicable after the determination of the amount of cash, if any, to be paid to holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares with respect to any fractional share interests, the Exchange Agent shall promptly pay such amounts to such holders subject to and in accordance with this Section 3.3(e).
(f) Return of Merger Consideration. Any portion of the Merger Consideration made available to the Exchange Agent pursuant to Section 3.3(a) that remains undistributed to the holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares for one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Holdco, upon demand, and any holders of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter be entitled to look only to Holdco for payment of their claim for any shares of Holdco Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Holdco Common Stock and any dividends or distributions with respect to Holdco Common Stock.
(g) No Liability. None of XRAY, TWOLF, Holdco, XRAY Merger Sub, the XRAY Surviving Corporation, TWOLF Merger Sub, the TWOLF Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent shall be liable to any person in respect of any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Share has not been surrendered prior to seven years after the Effective Time, or immediately prior to such earlier date on which any cash, any shares of Holdco Common Stock, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Holdco Common Stock or any dividends or distributions with respect to Holdco Common Stock in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share would otherwise escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Body, any such shares, cash, dividends or distributions in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of Holdco, free and clear of all claims or interests of any person previously entitled thereto.
(h) Investment of Merger Consideration. The Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund as directed by Holdco, provided, that no losses on such investments shall affect the cash payable
10
to former holders of shares of XRAY Common Stock or shares of TWOLF Common Stock pursuant to this Article III. Any interest and other income resulting from such investments shall be paid to Holdco.
(i) Withholding Rights. Each of Holdco and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any provision of state, local or foreign Tax law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or paid over to or deposited with the relevant Governmental Body, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.
(j) Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by Holdco or the Exchange Agent, the posting by such person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Holdco or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent shall deliver in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Merger Consideration with respect to the shares of XRAY Common Stock or shares of TWOLF Common Stock, as applicable, formerly represented thereby, any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Holdco Common Stock, and unpaid dividends and distributions on shares of Holdco Common Stock deliverable in respect thereof, pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 3.4 Certain Adjustments. If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time, the outstanding shares of XRAY Common Stock or TWOLF Common Stock are changed into a different number of shares in accordance with Section 6.2 by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange of shares, dividend payable in stock or other securities or other similar transaction, the XRAY Exchange Ratio and the TWOLF Exchange Ratio and related provisions, without duplication, shall be appropriately adjusted to proportionately reflect such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange, dividend or other similar transaction and to provide to the holders of XRAY Common Stock and TWOLF Common Stock or XRAY Equity Awards and TWOLF Equity Awards the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such reclassification, recapitalization, split-up, combination, exchange, dividend or other similar transaction.
Section 3.5 Further Assurances. At and after the Effective Time, the officers and directors or managers, as applicable, of Holdco, TWOLF Surviving Corporation and XRAY Surviving Corporation shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of XRAY or TWOLF, any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances and to take and do, in the name and on behalf thereof, any other actions and things necessary to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in Holdco, any and all right, title and interest in, to and under any of the rights, properties or assets acquired or to be acquired by Holdco as a result of, or in connection with, the Mergers.

In connection with the foregoing, each party hereto shall use its reasonable best efforts: (v) to inform the other parties to this Agreement, and if in writing, furnish the other parties with copies of, any communication from or to any Governmental Body in respect of any filings or inquiry under any Antitrust Law relating to the Mergers; (w) to give the other party reasonable prior notice of any communication with, and any proposed understanding or agreement with, any Governmental Body regarding any investigations, proceedings, filings, forms, declarations, notifications, registrations or notices, and permit the other parties to review and discuss in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other parties in connection with, any proposed communication, understanding or agreement with any Governmental Body, in each case under any Antitrust Law relating to the Mergers, subject to an appropriate confidentiality agreement and the advice of such partys antitrust counsel; (x) to give the other parties advance notice of, and permit the other party to participate in, any substantive meeting or conversation with any Governmental Body in respect of any filings or inquiry under any Antitrust Law relating to the Mergers; (y) if attending a meeting, conference, or conversation with a Governmental Body under any Antitrust Law relating to the Mergers, from which another party is prohibited by applicable Law or by the applicable Governmental Body from participating in or attending, to keep the other party reasonably apprised with respect thereto; and (z) to consult and cooperate with the other parties in connection with any information or proposals submitted in connection with any proceeding, inquiry, or other proceeding under any Antitrust Law relating to the Mergers provided that material exchanged pursuant to this section (1) may be redacted as necessary (I) to address good faith legal privilege concerns, (II) to comply with applicable Law, and (III) to remove references concerning the valuation of TWOLF, XRAY or the combined TWOLF or (2) designated as outside counsel only, which materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel and previously-agreed outside economic consultants of the recipient and will not be disclosed by such outside counsel or outside economic consultants to employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. TWOLF and XRAY agree not to pull and refile any notification under the HSR Act or enter into any agreement with any Governmental
51
Body to delay, or otherwise not to consummate as soon as practicable, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except with the prior written consent of TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, TWOLF and XRAY shall each use its reasonable best efforts: (1) to avoid the entry of any Restraint; and (2) to eliminate every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Body so as to enable the Effective Time to occur as soon as reasonably possible (and in any event, not later than the Outside Date). For purposes of this Section 7.3, reasonable best efforts shall include (I) contesting and resisting any Legal Proceeding, and to avoid the entry of and, if necessary, have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any Restraint that restricts, prevents or prohibits the consummation of the Mergers or any other transactions contemplated by this Agreement under any Antitrust Law; and (II) the obligation by XRAY and any of its Subsidiaries to offer and consent to, and thereafter to implement, any of the following measures if doing so would enable the parties to avoid, resolve, or lift a Restraint or Legal Proceeding under this Section 7.3: (i) sell, license, assign, transfer, divest, hold separate or otherwise dispose of any assets, business or portion of business of TWOLF, XRAY, the Surviving Corporations, Holdco or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) conduct, restrict, operate, invest or otherwise change the assets, business or portion of business of TWOLF, XRAY, the Surviving Corporations, Holdco or any of their respective Subsidiaries in any manner, or (iii) impose any restriction, requirement or limitation on the operation of the business or portion of the business of TWOLF, XRAY, the Surviving Corporations, Holdco or any of their respective Subsidiaries; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, neither TWOLF nor XRAY shall be required to take, or cause to be taken, any action that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a material adverse effect on TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable (measured on a scale relative to the size of Holdco and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole (assuming the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been effected)).
(c) Without limitation to the parties obligations hereunder, neither TWOLF nor XRAY shall, directly or indirectly (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise), acquire, purchase, lease or license (or agree to acquire, purchase, lease or license) any business, corporation, partnership, association or other business organization or division or part thereof, or any securities or collection of assets, if doing so would reasonably be expected to: (i) impose any material delay in the obtaining of, or materially increase the risk of not satisfying the condition set forth in Section 8.1(c); (ii) materially increase the risk of any Governmental Body entering an order prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby; (iii) materially increase the risk of not being able to remove any such order on appeal or otherwise; or (iv) otherwise prevent or materially delay the consummation of the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated hereby.

52
Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, no amendment or supplement (including by incorporation by reference) to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement shall be made without the approval of both TWOLF and XRAY, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided that with respect to documents filed by a party that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, this right of approval shall apply only with respect to information relating to the other party or its business, financial condition or results of operations, or the combined entity; and provided, further, that this approval right shall not apply with respect to information relating to a Change in Board Recommendation effected in accordance with Section 7.4(b). TWOLF shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to TWOLFs stockholders, and XRAY shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus to be mailed to XRAYs stockholders, in each case as promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act. Each party shall advise the other parties, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement has become effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information. If at any time prior to the Effective Time any information relating to TWOLF, XRAY, Holdco, or any of their respective affiliates, officers or directors, should be discovered by TWOLF, XRAY or Holdco that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to any of the Registration Statement or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminated to the stockholders of TWOLF and XRAY. Prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement: (a) TWOLF shall use reasonable best efforts to cause Cooley LLP to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act; and (b) XRAY shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP to deliver to it a tax opinion satisfying the requirements of Item 601 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
(ii) As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, TWOLF shall duly give notice of, convene and hold a meeting of its stockholders TWOLF Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the DGCL for the purpose of obtaining the TWOLF Stockholder Approval and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(b), through its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this Agreement. TWOLF may only postpone or adjourn the TWOLF Stockholders Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the TWOLF Stockholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, and (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that TWOLF has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of TWOLF prior to the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that TWOLF shall postpone or adjourn the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting up to two (2) times for up to thirty days each time upon the reasonable request of XRAY.
(iii) As promptly as practicable after the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, XRAY shall duly give notice of, convene and hold the XRAY Stockholder Meeting in accordance with the DGCL for the purpose of obtaining the XRAY Stockholder Approval and shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.4(b), through its Board of Directors, recommend to its stockholders the adoption of this Agreement. XRAY may only postpone or adjourn the XRAY Stockholder Meeting (i) to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the XRAY Stockholder Approval, (ii) for the absence of a quorum, and (iii) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that XRAY has determined after
53
consultation with outside legal counsel is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of XRAY prior to the XRAY Stockholder Meeting; provided, however, that XRAY shall postpone or adjourn the XRAY Stockholder Meeting up to two (2) times for up to thirty days each time upon the reasonable request of TWOLF.
(iv) TWOLF and XRAY shall use reasonable best efforts to hold the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting and the XRAY Stockholder Meeting on the same date and as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement.
(v) The only matters to be voted upon at each of the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting and the XRAY Stockholder Meeting are (A) the Mergers, as applicable, (B) any adjournment or postponement of the TWOLF Stockholders Meeting or the XRAY Stockholder Meeting, as applicable, and (C) any other matters as are required by applicable Law to be voted on solely in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(vi) Each of TWOLF and XRAY agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of itself for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Registration Statement will, at the time the Registration Statement becomes effective under the Securities Act, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. Each of TWOLF and XRAY agrees that none of the information supplied or to be supplied by or on behalf of itself for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, will, at the time the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto is first mailed to the stockholders of TWOLF and the stockholders of XRAY, respectively, and at the time of the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting and the XRAY Stockholder Meeting, respectively, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading. If at any time prior to the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting or the XRAY Stockholder Meeting any fact or event relating to TWOLF or any of its Affiliates, or XRAY or any of its Affiliates, which should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus should be discovered by TWOLF or XRAY or should occur, as the case may be, TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, shall, promptly after becoming aware thereof, inform the other of such fact or event, and an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such fact or event shall be promptly filed with the SEC and, to the extent required by Law, disseminated to the stockholders of TWOLF and XRAY. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) no representation, warranty or covenant is made by TWOLF with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by XRAY for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein, and (B) no representation, warranty or covenant is made by XRAY with respect to statements made or incorporated by reference therein based on information supplied by TWOLF for inclusion or incorporation by reference therein.
(vii) Notwithstanding (A) any Change in Board Recommendation, (B) any public proposal or announcement or other submission to TWOLF or XRAY of an Acquisition Proposal or (C) or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, but subject to TWOLFs and XRAYs right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including pursuant to Section 9.1(j) or Section 9.1(k), the obligations of each of TWOLF and XRAY under this Section 7.4 shall continue in full force and effect.
(b) Neither the TWOLF Board, nor the XRAY Board nor any committee thereof shall (i) fail to make, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw, amend, modify or qualify, its Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, or publicly propose to approve, endorse, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal or Superior Proposal, (iii) fail to recommend against acceptance of any tender offer or exchange offer for TWOLF Common Stock, in the case of any offer for TWOLF, or for XRAY Common Stock, in the case of any offer for XRAY, within ten (10) Business Days after the
54
commencement of such offer, (iv) take any action to exempt or make any Person (other than XRAY or TWOLF) not subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the DGCL or any other potentially applicable anti-takeover or similar statute or regulation, (v) fail to affirm publicly and without qualification its Board Recommendation following any reasonable written request by the other party to provide such reaffirmation (including in the event of an Acquisition Proposal (other than pursuant to a commenced tender offer or exchange offer) having been publicly disclosed) prior to the earlier of (x) ten (10) calendar days following such request and (y) five (5) Business Days prior to the TWOLF Stockholder Meeting or XRAY Stockholder Meeting, as applicable, (provided, in the case of clause (y), that if such request is made fewer than five (5) Business Days prior to such meeting, then, notwithstanding the foregoing, the board in receipt of such request or any committee thereof shall have until the date that is (2) Business Days to such meeting respond to such request for reaffirmation), it being further agreed that no such request for such affirmation shall be made except once per Acquisition Proposal or material modification of such Acquisition Proposal, or (vi) resolve or agree to take any of the foregoing actions (each such foregoing action or failure to act in clauses (i) through (vi) being referred to as a Change in Board Recommendation). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the determination (but not the adoption, approval, recommendation or endorsement) by the TWOLF Board or XRAY Board, as applicable, that an Acquisition Proposal is or would be reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 7.1(b) shall not, in and of itself, be deemed a Change in Board Recommendation, and the TWOLF Board or XRAY Board, as applicable, may, at any time prior to receipt of the relevant Stockholder Approval, take any of the actions set forth in Section 7.4(b)(i) and Section 7.4(b)(ii) below (provided, however, that prior to taking any such action, such party complies with Section 7.4(c) of this Agreement):
(i) if there is an Intervening Event, effect a Change in Board Recommendation if such board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; and
(ii) effect a Change in Board Recommendation in response to an Acquisition Proposal if (A) such board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law and (B) such board concludes in good faith, after consultation with such partys financial advisor and outside counsel, that the Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 7.4(b), the TWOLF Board and the XRAY Board shall not make a Change in Board Recommendation pursuant to Section 7.4(b)(i) and Section 7.4(b)(ii) unless: (A) TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, shall have first provided prior written notice at least four (4) Business Days prior to making a Change in Board Recommendation (the Notice Period) to the other party of its intention to make a Change in Board Recommendation, which notice shall, if the basis for the proposed action by the its board is not related to an Acquisition Proposal, contain a description of the Intervening Event giving rise to such proposed action or, if the basis for the proposed action by its board is an Acquisition Proposal, include the information with respect to such Acquisition Proposal that is specified in Section 7.1(c) (a Superior Proposal Notice) (it being understood and agreed that the delivery of such notice shall not, in and of itself, be deemed to be a Change in Board Recommendation); (B) TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, shall, and shall cause its respective financial advisor and legal counsel to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with the other party in good faith to make such amendments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Acquisition Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, if the other party, in its discretion, proposes to make such amendments (it being understood and agreed (x) that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) Business Days remain in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the party notifies the other party of any such material revision and (y) that there may be multiple extensions of the Notice Period); and (C) the other party does not make, within the Notice Period, a proposal that is determined by its board of directors (after consultation with such partys financial advisor and outside counsel), to cause the Intervening Event to no longer form the basis for its board to effect a Change in Board Recommendation or cause the offer previously constituting a Superior Proposal to no longer constitute a Superior Proposal, as the case may be; provided, that the public announcement of a Superior
55
Proposal Notice that such party determines that it is required to make under applicable Law shall not, in and of itself, constitute a Change in Board Recommendation, unless and until it shall have failed promptly after the end of the Notice Period to publicly announce that it (A) was recommending the Transactions and (B) has determined that such other Acquisition Proposal (taking into account (1) any modifications or adjustments made to the Transactions and agreed to by the parties and (2) any modifications or adjustments made to such other Acquisition Proposal) was not a Superior Proposal and was rejecting such Superior Proposal.
(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the TWOLF Board or the XRAY Board from (i) taking and disclosing to their respective stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) under the Exchange Act or complying with the provisions of Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act, (ii) making any disclosure to their respective stockholders that it determines in good faith (after consultation with its outside legal counsel) that the failure to make such disclosure would reasonably be expected to be inconsistent with the boards fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, the foregoing rules and permitted disclosures will in no way eliminate or modify the effect that any action pursuant to such rules or disclosures would otherwise have under this Agreement.
Section 7.5 Notification of Certain Events. Each of TWOLF and XRAY shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable, notify the other:
(a) upon becoming aware that any material representation or warranty made by it in this Agreement has become untrue or inaccurate, or of any material failure of such Person to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement, in each case, such that any condition to the Mergers would fail to be satisfied; provided, however, that no such notification shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of such party set forth herein or the conditions to the obligations of the other party to consummate the Mergers, or the remedies available to the parties hereto, and provided, further, that failure to give any such notice shall not be treated as a breach of covenant for the purposes of Section 8.2(a), Section 8.3(a), Section 9.1(h) or Section 9.1(i) of this Agreement, as applicable.
(b) the receipt of any written communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Mergers;
(c) of any material written communication from any Governmental Body related to the Mergers; and
(d) of any proceedings commenced and served upon it or any TWOLF Subsidiaries, or to the Knowledge of TWOLF, threatened in writing against TWOLF or any TWOLF Subsidiaries, that, if pending on the Agreement Date, would have been required to have been disclosed pursuant to any Section of this Agreement.
Section 7.6 Access and Investigation. Subject to the Confidentiality Agreement, during the period commencing on the Agreement Date and ending on the earlier of (b) the Effective Time, and (c) the valid termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 (such period being referred to herein as the Interim Period), each of TWOLF and XRAY shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives, to: (i) provide XRAY or TWOLF, as applicable, with reasonable access in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to the operation of the businesses of TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, or to their respective Subsidiaries, during normal business hours to TWOLFs or XRAYs, as applicable, and each of their respective Subsidiarys, Representatives, books, records, Tax Returns, operating and financial reports, work papers, assets, Contracts and other documents and information relating to TWOLF or to XRAY, as applicable, or to their respective Subsidiaries; and (ii) provide XRAY or TWOLF, as applicable, and their respective Representatives with such copies of the books, records, Tax Returns, work papers, Contracts and other documents and information relating to TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, and their respective Subsidiaries, and with such additional financial, operating and other data and information regarding TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, and their respective Subsidiaries, as the other party may reasonably request. Information obtained by XRAY or TWOLF, as
56
applicable, pursuant to this Section 7.6 will constitute Confidential Information (subject to any exception contained in such definition) under the Confidentiality Agreement and will be subject to the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement. Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall require TWOLF or XRAY to permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of such party, would reasonably be expected to: (A) violate any of its or its Affiliates respective Contract obligations with respect to confidentiality; (B) result in a violation of applicable Law or (C) result in loss of legal protection, including the attorney-client privilege and work product doctrine. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that TWOLF or XRAY does not provide access or information in reliance on the immediately preceding sentence, it shall provide notice to the other party that it is withholding such access or information and shall use all reasonable efforts to communicate the applicable information in a way that would not violate the applicable Law or Contract, or risk waiver of such privilege, including by using reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of any third party necessary to provide such disclosure or developing an alternative to providing such information so as to address such matters that is reasonably acceptable to the other party.
Section 7.7 Confidentiality. The parties hereto acknowledge that XRAY and TWOLF have previously executed a mutual confidentiality agreement, dated as of June 14, 2019, as amended on September 10, 2019 (the Confidentiality Agreement), which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms, except as expressly modified herein.
Section 7.8 Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement shall be a joint press release to be reasonably agreed upon by XRAY and TWOLF. Except as permitted in accordance with Section 7.4, XRAY and TWOLF shall thereafter consult with the other party before issuing, and give the other party the reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, any press release or other public statements with respect to the Transactions and consider in good faith the views of the other party, and shall not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or by obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange or trading market on which securities of such party are listed, in which case such party shall allow the other party reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance.
(a) For purposes of this Section 7.9, (i) the term Covered Employees means employees who are actively employed by TWOLF or any TWOLF Subsidiary or XRAY or any XRAY Subsidiary immediately after the Effective Time; and (ii) the term Continuation Period means the period beginning at the Effective Time and ending on the first anniversary of the Effective Time.
(b) During the Continuation Period, Holdco shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Holdco to, provide to each Covered Employee for so long as such Covered Employee remains employed by of Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries during the Continuation Period, (i) annual base salary or base wage rate and target cash incentive compensation opportunities (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding equity incentives), in each case, that are no less favorable than such annual base salary or base wage rate and target cash incentive compensation opportunities provided to the Covered Employee immediately prior to the Effective Time, (ii) severance pay and benefits at levels that are no less favorable than the levels of such severance pay and benefits as in effect under the TWOLF Plans or XRAY Plans, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time, and (iii) other employee benefits that are substantially comparable, in the aggregate, to the greater of those provided to Covered Employees under the TWOLF Plans or XRAY Plans, as applicable, immediately prior to the Effective Time; provided, however, that the benefits provided under clause (iii) may be adjusted earlier than the final day of the Continuation Period in connection with the adoption of benefit programs that are intended to cover Covered Employees on a harmonized basis, such that employees of TWOLF or any TWOLF Subsidiary are treated no less favorably than similarly situated employees of XRAY or any XRAY Subsidiary, and vice versa.
57
(c) In the event any Covered Employee first becomes eligible to participate under any employee benefit plan, program, policy, or arrangement of Holdco or any of its Subsidiaries (Holdco Employee Benefit Plan) following the Effective Time, Holdco shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Holdco to, for Covered Employees who become eligible during the calendar year including the Effective Time, (i) waive any preexisting condition exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to any Covered Employee under any Holdco Employee Benefit Plan providing medical, dental, or vision benefits to the same extent such limitation would have been waived or satisfied under the TWOLF or XRAY Employee Benefit Plan the Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Holdco Employee Benefit Plan; and (ii) provide each Covered Employee with credit for any copayments and deductibles paid prior to the Covered Employees coverage under any Holdco Employee Benefit Plan during the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, to the same extent such credit was given under the employee benefit plan Covered Employee participated in immediately prior to coverage under the Holdco Employee Benefit Plan, in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements under the Holdco Employee Benefit Plan for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs.
(d) As of the Effective Time, Holdco shall recognize, or shall cause a Subsidiary of Holdco to recognize, all service of each Covered Employee prior to the Effective Time, to TWOLF (or any predecessor entities of TWOLF or any of the TWOLF Subsidiaries) or XRAY (or any predecessor entities of XRAY or any of the XRAY Subsidiaries), as applicable, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (but not for benefit accrual purposes under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree medical program) to the same extent as such Covered Employee received, immediately before the Effective Time, credit for such service under any similar TWOLF Plan or XRAY Plan, as applicable, in which such Covered Employee participated immediately prior to the Effective Time. In no event shall anything contained in this Section 7.9 result in any duplication of benefits for the same period of service.
(e) This Section 7.9 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto, and nothing in this Section 7.9, express or implied, (i) shall be construed to limit the right of Holdco, XRAY, TWOLF, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to amend, modify or terminate any TWOLF Plan or XRAY Plan or other employee benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement at any time assumed, established, sponsored, or maintained by any of them, (ii) shall be construed to require Holdco, XRAY, TWOLF, or any of their respective Subsidiaries to retain the employment of any particular Person for any fixed period of time following the Effective Time, (iii) shall be construed to establish, amend, or modify any benefit plan, program, policy, practice, agreement or arrangement or (iv) is intended to confer upon any Person (including employees, retirees, or dependents or beneficiaries of employees or retirees) any right as a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement or any remedy of any nature whatsoever hereunder.

The XRAY Termination Fee payable pursuant to this Section 9.3(d) shall be paid by wire transfer of same-day funds no later than the third (3rd) Business Day following termination pursuant to Section 9.1(e) or Section 9.1(g) at any time after the occurrence of any XRAY Triggering Event and concurrently with any termination pursuant to Section 9.1(k) or on the date XRAY consummates such transaction requiring payment of the XRAY Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.3(d)(iii). Upon payment of the XRAY Termination Fee, except for any Enforcement Costs that may be payable pursuant to Section 9.3(f), XRAY shall have no further liability to TWOLF with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions; provided that nothing herein shall release TWOLF from liability for fraud or the willful and material breach of this Agreement.

The payment of the XRAY Expense Reimbursement Amount contemplated by this Section 9.3(e) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by TWOLF and shall be reduced by any amounts required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under applicable Law in respect of Taxes. Upon payment of such XRAY Expense Reimbursement Amount, except for any Enforcement Costs that may be payable pursuant to Section 9.3(f), XRAY shall have no further liability to TWOLF with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby other than a subsequent payment of the XRAY Termination Fee if required to be made pursuant to Section 9.3(d) (it being understood that the amount of any such subsequent payment shall be reduced by the amount of any payments made by XRAY pursuant to this Section 9.3(e) in respect of the XRAY Expense Reimbursement Amount); provided that nothing herein shall release any party from liability for fraud or the willful and material breach by XRAY of this Agreement.
(f) The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this Section 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and that, without these agreements, the parties would not have entered into this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, all payments under this Section 9.3 (including the TWOLF Termination Fee and the XRAY Termination Fee) shall be payable only once and not in duplication, even though the payments under this Section 9.3 may be payable under one or more provisions hereof. If TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, fails promptly to pay the applicable payment under this Section 9.3 when due and payable, and, in order to obtain such payment, TWOLF or XRAY, as the case may be, commences an action or other proceeding that results in an award against TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, for such payment under this Section 9.3, TWOLF or XRAY, as applicable, shall pay the other partys costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and expenses) (Enforcement Costs) in connection with such action or proceeding, together with interest on the amount of the payment due under this Section 9.3 from the date such payment was required to be made until the date of payment at the prime lending rate as published in The Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made.

2. Syndication. The Lead Arrangers intend to commence syndication of the Term Facility promptly after your acceptance of the terms of this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter and the Administrative Agent Fee Letter; provided that we agree not to syndicate our commitments to certain banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders and any competitors (or Known Affiliates (as defined below) of competitors) of the Companies, in each case, that have been specified to us by you in writing prior to the date hereof (collectively, Disqualified Lenders); provided, further, that you, upon notice to us after the date hereof and prior to the launch of general syndication (or to the Administrative Agent after the Closing Date), shall be permitted to supplement in writing the list of persons that are Disqualified Lenders to the extent such supplemented person is or becomes a competitor or a Known Affiliate of a competitor of the Companies, which supplement shall be in the form of a list provided to us (or the Administrative Agent) and become effective upon delivery to us (or the Administrative Agent), but which supplement shall not apply retroactively to disqualify any parties that have previously acquired an assignment in the loans under the Term Facility. As used herein, Known Affiliates of any person means, as to such person, affiliates readily identifiable by name, but excluding any affiliate that is a bona fide debt fund or investment vehicle that is primarily engaged in, or that advises funds or other investment vehicles that are engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, bonds or similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course and with respect to which the Disqualified Lender does not, directly or indirectly, possess the power to direct or cause the direction of the investment policies of such entity. 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 Term Facility and in no event shall the commencement or successful completion of syndication of the Term Facility constitute a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date. You agree, until the Syndication Date (as hereinafter defined), to actively assist the Lead Arrangers in achieving a syndication of the Term Facility that is reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers and you; provided that, notwithstanding each Lead Arrangers right to syndicate the Term Facility and receive commitments with respect thereto, it is agreed that (i) syndication of, or receipt of commitments or participations in respect of, all or any portion of an Initial Lenders commitments hereunder prior to the date of the consummation of the Merger and the date of the funding under the Term Facility shall not be a condition to such Initial Lenders commitments and (ii) (a) except as you in your sole discretion may otherwise agree in writing, no Initial Lender shall be relieved, released or novated from its obligations hereunder (including its obligation to fund the Term Facility on the Closing Date) in connection with any syndication, assignment or participation of the Term Facility, including its commitments in respect thereof, until after the funding of the Term Facility has occurred; (b) no assignment or novation shall become effective with respect to all or any portion of any Initial Lenders commitments in respect of the Term Facility until after the funding of the Term Facility; and (c) each Initial Lender shall retain exclusive control over all rights and obligations with respect to its commitments in respect of the Term Facility, including all rights with respect to consents, modifications, supplements, waivers and amendments, until the Closing Date has occurred and the funding under the Term Facility has been made.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter, the Fee Letter, the Administrative Agent Fee Letter or any other letter agreement or undertaking concerning the financing of the Transaction 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 (g) above or any other provision of this paragraph shall constitute a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
It is understood and agreed that the Lead Arrangers will manage and control all aspects of the syndication of the Term Facility in consultation with you, including any titles offered to prospective Lenders (subject to your consent rights set forth herein and your rights of appointment set forth in paragraph 1 and excluding Disqualified Lenders), when commitments will be accepted and the final allocations of the commitments among the Lenders and the amount and distribution of the fees among the Lenders. It is further understood that the Initial Lenders commitments hereunder are not conditioned upon the syndication of, or receipt of commitments in respect of, the Term Facility and in no event shall the commencement of successful completion of syndication of the Term Facility constitute a condition to availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
3. Information Requirements. You hereby represent and warrant that (with respect to Information relating to XRAY and its subsidiaries and affiliates, to the knowledge of TWOLF, and, with respect to Information relating to TWOLF and its subsidiaries and affiliates, to the knowledge of XRAY) (a) all written factual information, other than Projections (as defined below), budgets, estimates and other forward-looking information or information of a general economic or industry nature, that has been or is hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives in connection with any aspect of the Transaction (the Information) when furnished to the Lead Arrangers is and will be correct when taken as a whole, in all material respects, and does not and will not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a fact or omit to state a fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not materially misleading (in each case, after giving effect to all supplements and updates with respect thereto) and (b) all financial projections concerning the Borrower and the Companies that have been or are hereafter made available to the Lead Arrangers or any of the Lenders by or on behalf of you or any of your representatives (the Projections) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time provided to the Lead Arrangers (it being understood and agreed that the

In issuing this commitment and in arranging and syndicating the Term Facility, the Commitment Parties are and will be using and relying on the Information and the Projections without independent verification thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this paragraph will constitute a condition to the availability of the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
You acknowledge that (a) the Lead Arrangers on your behalf will make available, on a confidential basis, Information Materials to the proposed syndicate of Lenders by posting the Information Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system (the Platform) and (b) certain prospective Lenders (such Lenders, Public Lenders; all other Lenders, Private Lenders) may have personnel that do not wish to receive material non-public information (within the meaning of the United States federal securities laws, MNPI) with respect to the Borrower, the Companies or the respective securities of any of the Borrower or the Companies, and who may be engaged in investment and other market-related activities with respect to such entities securities.

In addition, you hereby agree that (x) you will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify (and, at the reasonable request of the Lead Arrangers or the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates), shall identify) that portion of the Information Materials that may be distributed to the Public Lenders by clearly and conspicuously marking the same as PUBLIC; (y) all Information Materials marked PUBLIC are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated Public Investor; and (z) the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and its affiliates) shall be entitled to treat any Information Materials that are not marked PUBLIC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not designated Public Investor.
You agree that, subject to the confidentiality and other provisions of this Commitment Letter, the Lead Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and its affiliates) on your behalf may distribute the following documents to all prospective Lenders, unless you advise the Lead Arrangers and Administrative Agent in
5
writing (including by email) within a reasonable time prior to their intended distributions that such material should only be distributed to prospective Private Lenders (provided that such materials have been provided to you and your counsel for review a reasonable period of time prior thereto): (a) administrative materials for prospective Lenders such as lender meeting invitations and funding and closing memoranda, (b) notifications of changes to the terms of the Term Facility and (c) drafts approved in writing by you and the Administrative Agent (or its affiliates) and final versions of definitive documents with respect to the Term Facility.

In the case of any Proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such Proceeding is brought by any Company, any Companys equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any aspect of the Transaction is consummated.

In case any Proceeding is instituted involving any Indemnified Party for which indemnification is to be sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party will promptly notify you of the commencement of any Proceedings. You shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding affected without your written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with your written consent or if there is a final judgment in any such Proceeding, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless each indemnified Party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses by reason of such settlement or judgment in accordance with this Section.

ANNEX I
SUMMARY OF TERMS
$1,100,000,000 FIRST LIEN TERM FACILITY
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the same meanings as specified therefor in the Commitment Letter to which this Annex I is attached.
Borrower: | A newly formed Delaware corporation formed at the direction of Xperi Corporation, a Delaware corporation (XRAY), and TiVo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (TWOLF), and which shall, following the consummation of the Merger, be the direct owner of XRAY and TWOLF (as survivors of the mergers contemplated by the Merger Agreement) (the Borrower). | |

In addition, the Credit Documentation will contain carve outs for non-ECP Guarantors and customary QFC stay rules, in each case consistent with the LSTA provisions. All guarantees will be guarantees of payment and not of collection. | |
Notwithstanding the foregoing, additional subsidiaries may be excluded from the guarantee requirements 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. |
Annex I-1
Administrative and Collateral Agent: | Bank of America will act as sole and exclusive administrative and collateral agent for the Lenders (the Administrative Agent). | |
Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners: | BofAS, RBCCM and any Additional Arranger appointed in accordance with paragraph 1 of the Commitment Letter will act as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners for the Term Facility (in such capacities, the Lead Arrangers). | |
Lenders: | Banks, financial institutions and institutional lenders selected by the Lead Arrangers in consultation with and reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and excluding any Disqualified Lenders and, after the funding of the Term Facility on the Closing Date, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Assignments and Participations section below (the Lenders). | |
Type and Amount of Facility: | A first lien senior secured term loan B facility (the Term Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of $1,100 million. | |
Purpose: | Proceeds of the Term Facility will be used on the Closing Date (i) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Transactions, (ii) to finance the Refinancing and (iii) to the extent of any remaining amounts, for working capital and other general corporate purposes. | |
Availability: | The Term Facility will be available in a single drawing on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facility that are repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. | |
Interest Rates: | The interest rates per annum applicable to the Term Facility will be, at the option of the Borrower, (i) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin. Applicable Margin means (x) in the event the corporate ratings of the Borrower on the Closing Date are at least Ba3 and BB- (in each case, with at least a stable outlook) from Moodys and S&P, respectively, (i) 2.50% per annum, in the case of LIBOR advances and (ii) 1.50% per annum, in the case of Base Rate advances or (y) in the event the corporate ratings of the Borrower on the Closing Date are not at least Ba3 and BB- (in each case, with at least a stable outlook) from Moodys and S&P, respectively, (i) 2.75% per annum, in the case of LIBOR advances, and (ii) 1.75% per annum, in the case of Base Rate advances.
The Borrower may select interest periods of one, two, three or six months (and, if agreed to by all applicable Lenders, a period shorter than one month or a period of twelve months) for LIBOR advances. Interest shall be payable at the end of the selected interest period, but no less frequently than quarterly. |

As used herein, Default Rate means (i) on the principal of any loan, a rate of 200 basis points in excess of the rate otherwise applicable to such loan and (ii) on any other overdue amount, a rate of 200 basis points in excess of the non-default rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate loans. | ||
Calculation of Interest: | Other than calculations in respect of interest at the Base Rate when calculated by reference to the Administrative Agents prime rate (which shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 365/366 day year), all calculations of interest shall be made on the basis of actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. | |
Cost and Yield Protection: | Subject to the Documentation Standard (as defined below) and customary for transactions and facilities of this type, including, without limitation, in respect of breakage or redeployment costs incurred in connection with prepayments (other than loss of margin), changes in capital adequacy and capital requirements or their interpretation, illegality, unavailability, reserves without proration or offset and payments free and clear of withholding or other taxes; provided that for all purposes of the Credit Documentation, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines and directives promulgated thereunder and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed introduced or adopted after the Closing Date, so long as, in each case, any amounts with respect thereto assessed by any Lender shall also be so assessed by such Lender against its similarly situated customers generally under agreements containing comparable yield protection provisions. | |

The Credit Documentation shall contain customary amend and extend provisions pursuant to which individual Lenders may agree to extend the maturity date of their outstanding loans or loans under the Term Facility or any Incremental Facility (which may include, among other things, an increase in the interest rate payable in respect of such extended loans, with such extensions not subject to any default stoppers, financial tests or most favored nation pricing provisions) 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). |
Annex I-3
Incremental Facilities: | The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrower to (a) add one or more incremental term loan facilities to the Term Facility or to increase the existing Term Facility (each, an Incremental Term Facility) and/or (b) add one or more incremental revolving credit facilities (each, an Incremental Revolving Facility and, together with each Incremental Term Facility, the Incremental Facilities and each an Incremental Facility) in an aggregate principal amount of up to (x) an amount (the Fixed Incremental Amount) equal to the sum of (i) the greater of $450 million and 100% of pro forma EBITDA plus (y) all voluntary prepayments of the Term Facility and voluntary prepayments of pari passu revolving loans to the extent accompanied by a permanent reduction of the revolving commitments made prior to such date of incurrence and not funded with the proceeds of long term debt plus (z) an unlimited amount so long as, in the case of clause (z) only, on a pro forma basis the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (as defined below) would not exceed the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio on the Closing Date, after giving effect to any acquisition consummated in connection therewith and all other appropriate pro forma adjustments (in the case of any Incremental Revolving Facility, calculated assuming the entire amount of such Incremental Revolving Facility was drawn on such date) (the Incurrence-Based Incremental Amount) (it being understood that (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under clause (y) prior to utilization of amounts under clause (x) or (z), and the Borrower shall be deemed to have used amounts under clause (z) (to the extent compliant therewith) prior to utilization of amounts under clause (x), and (ii) loans may be incurred under both clauses (x) and (z), and proceeds from any such incurrence may be utilized in a single transaction by first calculating the incurrence under clause (z) above and then calculating the incurrence under clause (x) above)); provided that (i) no Lender will be required to participate in any such Incremental Facility, (ii) subject to customary limited conditionality provisions in connection with any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a permitted acquisition or similar investment, no event of default or default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, (iii) subject to customary limited conditionality provisions in connection with any Incremental Facility incurred to finance a permitted acquisition or similar investment, the representations and warranties in the Credit Documentation shall be true and correct in all material respects, (iv) other than any bridge financing converting to, or intended to be refinanced by, debt complying with such maturity requirement, the maturity date of any such Incremental Facility shall be no earlier than the maturity date for the Term Facility, (v) other than any bridge financing converting to, or intended to be refinanced by, debt complying with such weighted average life to maturity requirement, the weighted average life to maturity of any Incremental Facility shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Facility, (vi) the interest margins for each Incremental Term Facility shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders of the Incremental Term Facility; provided that in the event that the interest |
Annex I-4
margins for any Incremental Term Facility are greater than the Applicable Margin for the Term Facility by more than 75 basis points, then the Applicable Margin for the Term Facility shall be increased to the extent necessary so that the interest margins for the Incremental Term Facility are not more than 75 basis points higher than the Applicable Margin for the Term Facility; provided, further, that in determining the interest margins applicable to the Term Facility and the Applicable Margins for any Incremental Term Facility, (x) original issue discount (OID) or upfront fees (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower for the account of the Lenders of the Term Facility or the Incremental Term Facility in the primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (y) customary arrangement, structuring, underwriting, amendment or commitment fees payable to one or more arrangers shall be excluded, and (z) if the LIBOR floor for any Incremental Term Facility is greater than the LIBOR floor for the existing Term Facility, the difference between such floor for the Incremental Term Facility and the Term Facility shall be equated to an increase in the Applicable Margin for purposes of this clause (vi) (all adjustments made pursuant to this clause (vi), the MFN Adjustment); provided that if any Incremental Term Facility is incurred after the date that is 6 months after the Closing Date, the MFN Adjustment shall not apply, (vii) each Incremental Facility shall be secured by pari passu liens on the Collateral (as hereinafter defined) securing the Term Facility and no other assets and shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors and no other persons, and (viii) any Incremental Facility shall be on terms and pursuant to documentation to be determined, provided that, to the extent such terms and documentation are not consistent with the Term Facility (except to the extent permitted by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) or (vi) above, as applicable), they shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower may seek commitments in respect of any Incremental Facility from existing Lenders or from additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent who will become Lenders in connection therewith. | ||
Refinancing Facilities: | The Credit Documentation will permit the Borrower to refinance loans under the Term Facility or loans under any Incremental Facility (each, Refinanced Debt) from time to time, in whole or part, with (x) one or more new term facilities (each, a Refinancing Term Facility) under the Credit Documentation or one or more new revolving credit facilities (each, a Refinancing Revolving Facility and, collectively with each Refinancing Term Facility, the Refinancing Facilities) under the Credit Documentation, in each case with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the institutions providing such Refinancing Facility or (y) one or more series of unsecured notes or loans, notes secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with the Term Facility or notes or loans secured by the Collateral on a subordinated basis to the Term Facility, which will be subject to customary intercreditor terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (any such notes or loans, Refinancing Notes and together with the Refinancing Facilities, the Refinancing Indebtedness); provided that |
Annex I-5

Documentation Standard: | The Credit Documentation for the Term Facility (i) shall be based upon the Existing XRAY Credit Agreement, as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to the date hereof, with appropriate modifications to baskets and materiality thresholds to reflect the size, industry, leverage and ratings of the Borrower after giving effect to the Merger, (ii) shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in this Summary of Terms, (iii) shall reflect the operational and strategic requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries (after giving effect to the Merger) in light of their size, industries and practices and (iv) shall reflect the customary agency and operational requirements of the Administrative Agent (including without limitation ERISA provisions to be agreed) (collectively, the Documentation Standard), in each case, subject to the Funds Certain Provisions. The Credit Documentation shall, subject to the market flex provisions contained in the Fee Letter, contain only those conditions to borrowing, mandatory prepayments, representations and warranties, covenants and events of default expressly set forth in this Summary of Terms, in each case, applicable to the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries and, subject to the Documentation Standard and limitations as set forth herein, with materiality thresholds, standards, qualifications, exceptions, baskets, and grace and cure periods to be mutually agreed and consistent with the Documentation Standard. |
Annex I-6
Limited Condition Acquisitions: | For purposes of (i) determining compliance with any provision of the Credit Documentation which requires the calculation of the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio, (ii) determining compliance with representations, warranties, defaults or events of default or (iii) testing availability under baskets set forth in the Credit Documentation (including baskets measured as a percentage of EBITDA), in each case, in connection with an acquisition (or similar investment) by one or more of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries of any assets, business or person permitted to be acquired by the Credit Documentation, in each case whose consummation is not conditioned on the availability of, or on obtaining, third party financing (any such acquisition, a Limited Condition Acquisition), at the option of the Borrower (the Borrowers election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an LCA 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 Acquisition are entered into (the LCA Test Date), and if, after giving pro forma effect to the Limited Condition Acquisition 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 LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in 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 LCA Election and any of the ratios or baskets for which compliance was determined or tested as of the LCA Test Date are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in any such ratio or basket (including due to fluctuations in pro forma EBITDA, including of the target of any Limited Condition Acquisition) 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; however, if any ratios improve or baskets increase as a result of such fluctuations, such improved ratios or baskets may be utilized. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or (ii) the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Acquisition is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a pro forma basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of debt and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated. | ||
Financial Definitions: | The First Lien Net Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (i) debt for borrowed money of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries that is secured on a senior or pari passu basis with the Term Facility (calculated net of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries) to (ii) trailing four-quarter EBITDA (as defined below). |
Annex I-7
The Total Net Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (i) debt for borrowed money of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries (calculated net of all unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries) to (ii) trailing four-quarter EBITDA. | ||
Undrawn letters of credit shall not constitute debt for purposes of calculating the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio or the Total Net Leverage Ratio. | ||
EBITDA is to be defined in a manner consistent with the Documentation Standard beginning with consolidated net income, with add-backs (and corresponding deductions, to the extent applicable) to include, without limitation and without duplication, the following: | ||
i. expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to the Transaction projected by the Borrower; | ||
ii. expected cost savings, operating expense reductions, restructuring charges and expenses and synergies related to mergers and other business combinations, acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, cost savings initiatives which are factually supportable and other similar initiatives projected by the Borrower; | ||
iii. non-cash losses, charges and expenses (including non-cash compensation charges); | ||
iv. extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring losses, charges and expenses; | ||
v. cash restructuring and related charges and business optimization expenses; | ||
vi. unrealized gains and losses due to foreign exchange adjustments (including, without limitation, losses and expenses in connection with currency and exchange rate fluctuations); | ||
vii. costs and expenses in connection with the Transaction; | ||
viii. expenses or charges related to any equity offering, permitted investment, acquisition, disposition, recapitalization or incurrence of permitted indebtedness (whether or not consummated), including non-operating or non-recurring professional fees, costs and expenses related thereto; | ||
ix. interest, taxes, amortization and depreciation; and | ||
x. losses from discontinued operations. | ||
Scheduled Amortization: | The Term Facility shall be subject to quarterly amortization of principal equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Term Facility, commencing on the last day of the first full fiscal quarter following the Closing Date, with the balance payable on the final maturity date. |
Annex I-8
Mandatory Prepayments: | In addition to the amortization set forth above and subject to the next two paragraphs, mandatory prepayments required with respect to the Term Facility shall be limited to: (i) subject to customary exceptions and thresholds (with exceptions for, among others, ordinary course dispositions, dispositions of obsolete or worn-out property, property no longer used or useful in the business and other exceptions to be mutually agreed), an amount equal to 100% (with step-downs to 25% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 0.50x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and 0% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 1.00x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date) of the amount of net cash proceeds received by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed (and only in respect of amounts in excess thereof) from any disposition of assets outside the ordinary course of business or casualty event by the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries, in each case, to the extent such proceeds are not reinvested (or committed to be reinvested) in the business of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries within twelve months after the date of receipt of such proceeds from such disposition or casualty event and, if so committed to be reinvested, reinvested no later than 180 days after the end of such twelve month period; (ii) following the receipt of net cash proceeds from the issuance or incurrence after the Closing Date of additional debt of the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries (other than debt permitted under the Credit Documentation (other than Refinancing Indebtedness)); and (iii) in an amount equal to 50% of annual Excess Cash Flow (to be defined in the Credit Documentation) of the Borrower and its restricted subsidiaries for each fiscal year of the Borrower (beginning with the first full fiscal year commencing after the Closing Date), with step downs to 25% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 0.50x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date and 0% at a First Lien Net Leverage Ratio no greater than 1.00x inside the First Lien Net Leverage Ratio as of the Closing Date, of the Borrower (with a dollar-for-dollar credit for optional prepayments of the Term Facility subsequent to the first day of the relevant year other than to the extent financed with long-term debt); provided that no mandatory prepayment shall be required with respect to any fiscal year pursuant to this clause (iii) to the extent such prepayment would not exceed $10 million, in each case of clauses (i) through (iii), subject to the limitations set forth in the paragraph immediately following, such amounts shall be applied, without premium or penalty, to the remaining amortization payments under the Term Facility in direct order of maturity. | |
Any Lender under the Term Facility may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment other than a prepayment made with the proceeds of a Refinancing Debt (each a Declining Lender). Any prepayment amount declined by a Declining Lender may be retained by the Borrower (such amount, a Declined Amount) and shall increase the Available Amount Basket (as defined below). |
Annex I-9
Mandatory prepayments in clauses (i) and (iii) above shall be limited to the extent the upstreaming or transfer of such amounts from a foreign subsidiary to the Borrower or any other applicable subsidiary would result in material adverse tax consequences until such time as the Borrower or its applicable subsidiary may upstream or transfer such amounts and shall be subject to permissibility under local law of upstreaming proceeds (including financial assistance and corporate benefit restrictions and fiduciary and statutory duties of the relevant directors). The non-application of any mandatory prepayment amounts as a consequence of the foregoing provisions will not, for the avoidance of doubt, constitute a default or an event of default, and such amounts shall be available for working capital purposes of the Borrower and its subsidiaries. | ||
Optional Prepayments: | The Term Facility may be prepaid at any time in whole or in part without premium or penalty, upon written notice, at the option of the Borrower, except (x) that any prepayment of LIBOR advances other than at the end of the applicable interest periods therefor shall be made with customary reimbursement for any funding losses and redeployment costs (but not loss of margin) of the Lenders resulting therefrom and (y) as set forth in Soft-Call Premium below. Each optional prepayment of the Term Facility shall be applied as directed by the Borrower (and absent such direction, in direct order of maturity thereof). | |
Soft-Call Premium: | In the event that all or any portion of the Term Facility is (i) repaid, prepaid, refinanced or replaced with any broadly syndicated term loan B indebtedness with the primary purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of reducing the effective yield (to be defined in a mutually agreeable manner) of such Term Facility or (ii) repriced through any waiver, consent or amendment that has the primary purpose (as determined by the Borrower in good faith) of reducing the effective yield of the Term Facility (a Repricing Transaction), in each case, prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date and other than in connection with (x) a change of control, (y) a material disposition or a material acquisition or other similar material investment or (z) any other transaction not otherwise permitted by the Credit Documentation, such repayment, prepayment, refinancing, replacement or repricing will be accompanied by a premium of 1% of the principal amount so repaid, prepaid, refinanced, replaced or repriced. If all or any portion of the Term Facility held by any Lender is required to be assigned pursuant to a yank-a-bank provision in the Credit Documentation as a result of, or in connection with a Repricing Transaction prior to the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such replacement will be accompanied by a premium equal to 1% of the principal amount so required to be assigned. | |
Security: | Subject to the Funds Certain Provisions, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall grant the Administrative Agent (for its benefit and for the |
Annex I-10
benefit of the Lenders) a first-priority (subject to permitted liens and other customary exceptions) security interest in (i) 100% of the equity interests held by the Borrower and the Guarantors (but limited in the case of the voting equity interests of any first-tier CFC or Disregarded Domestic Person, to 65% of such voting equity interests (and 100% of any non-voting equity interests) and none of the equity interests of any subsidiary thereof), (ii) substantially all material owned real property of the Borrower and the Guarantors located in the United States and (iii) substantially all other personal property of the Borrower and the Guarantors, including, without limitation, contracts, patents, copyrights, trademarks, other general intangibles and all proceeds of the foregoing, in each case, excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below) (collectively, but excluding the Excluded Assets (as defined below), the Collateral). | ||
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Collateral shall exclude the following: (i) any fee-owned real property located outside the United States or with a fair market value of less than an amount to be agreed (with all required mortgages being permitted to be delivered post-closing) and all leasehold interests in real property (it being understood there shall be no requirement to obtain any survey, landlord or other third party waivers, estoppels or collateral access letters); (ii) motor vehicles, aircrafts and other assets subject to certificates of title (except to the extent perfection can be accomplished through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements); (iii) letter of credit rights (except to the extent perfection can be accomplished through the filing of UCC-1 financing statements) and commercial tort claims with a value of less than an amount to be agreed; (iv) pledges and security interests prohibited by applicable law, rule or regulation (including the requirement to obtain consent of any governmental authority) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (v) equity interests in any person other than wholly-owned subsidiaries to the extent not permitted by the terms of such persons organizational or joint venture documents after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (vi) any lease, permit, license or other agreement or any property subject to a purchase money security interest or other arrangement to the extent that a grant of a security interest therein would violate or invalidate such lease, permit, license or agreement or arrangement or create a right of termination in favor of, or require the consent of, any other party thereto (other than the Borrower or any of its restricted subsidiaries) after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (vii) those assets as to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower reasonably agree that the cost of obtaining such a security interest or perfection thereof are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of |
Annex I-11
the security to be afforded thereby; (viii) voting equity interests in excess of 65% of any first tier CFC or Disregarded Domestic Person; (ix) any of the equity interests of a subsidiary of a CFC or Disregarded Domestic Person; (x) any governmental licenses or state or local franchises, charters and authorizations, to the extent security interests in such licenses, franchises, charters or authorizations are prohibited or restricted thereby after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code; (xi) intent-to-use trademark or service mark applications; (xii) (a) payroll and other employee wage and benefit accounts, (b) sales tax accounts, (c) escrow accounts for the benefit of unaffiliated third parties, and (d) fiduciary or trust accounts for the benefit of unaffiliated third parties, and, in the case of clauses (a) through (d), the funds or other property held in or maintained in any such account in each case, other than to the extent perfected by the filing of a UCC financing statement or are proceeds of Collateral (collectively, the Excluded Accounts); (xiii) any acquired property (including property acquired through acquisition or merger of another entity) if at the time of such acquisition the granting of a security interest therein or the pledge thereof is prohibited by any contract or other agreement (in each case, not created in contemplation thereof) to the extent and for so long as such contract or other agreement prohibits such security interest or pledge after giving effect to the applicable anti-assignment provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, other than proceeds and receivables thereof, the assignment of which is expressly deemed effective under the Uniform Commercial Code notwithstanding such prohibition; (xiv) equity interests issued by, or assets of, unrestricted subsidiaries, immaterial subsidiaries, not for profit subsidiaries, special purpose entities and captive insurance subsidiaries; (xv) margin stock, and (xvi) other exceptions to be mutually agreed upon (the foregoing described in clauses (i) through (xvi) are, collectively, the Excluded Assets). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall not be required, nor shall the Administrative Agent be authorized, (i) to perfect the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages by any means other than by (A) filings pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code in the office of the secretary of state (or similar central filing office) of the relevant state(s) and filings in the applicable real estate records with respect to mortgaged properties constituting Collateral or any fixtures relating to mortgaged properties constituting Collateral, (B) filings in United States government offices with respect to intellectual property as expressly required in the Credit Documentation, (C) delivery to the Administrative Agent for its possession of all Collateral consisting of material intercompany notes, stock (or equivalent) certificates of material wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries and material instruments issued to the Borrower or a Guarantor (excluding Excluded Assets) or (D) mortgages in respect of fee-owned real property located in the United States (excluding Excluded Assets) with a fair market value in excess of an amount to be mutually agreed between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case as expressly required in the Credit Documentation and subject to limitations and restrictions in respect of flood provisions to be agreed in accordance with the internal flood policies and procedures of the Administrative Agent, (ii) other than as set forth in clause (C) of this |
Annex I-12
paragraph, to perfect security interests in any Collateral (including deposit accounts and other bank or securities accounts, etc.) through control agreements or perfection by control or (iii) to take any action outside the United States with respect to any assets titled or located outside the United States. All the above-described pledges, security interests and mortgages shall be created on terms, and pursuant to documentation, subject to the Documentation Standard and the Funds Certain Provisions and reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Assets will be excluded from the Collateral in circumstances to be agreed and in circumstances where the Administrative Agent reasonably determines in consultation with the Borrower that the cost of obtaining a security interest in such assets is excessive in relation to the value afforded thereby, and in any event such exclusions shall include vehicles, trust, payroll and escrow accounts, certain leasehold interests in real property (except as noted above), assets subject to capital leases and purchase money arrangements, cash which secures permitted letters of credit, assets held in jurisdictions outside the U.S. (solely to the extent action would be required in such other jurisdictions to obtain such security interests) and assets sold in accordance with the Credit Documentation. | ||

Annex I-19
representatives and controlling persons) obligations under the Credit Documentation, in each case as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (c) any dispute solely among the indemnified persons (or any of their respective controlled affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, representatives and controlling persons) (other than any claims against an indemnified person in its capacity as the Administrative Agent or Lead Arranger or similar role under the Term Facility) and not arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each indemnified person shall be obligated to promptly refund and return any and all amounts paid by the Borrower under this paragraph to such indemnified person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent such indemnified person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof. | ||

ANNEX III
SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE2
[ ], 2020
This SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE (this Certificate) is delivered in connection with that certain Credit Agreement dated as of [ ], 2020 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated, replaced, or otherwise modified from time to time, the Credit Agreement) among XRAY-TWOLF HoldCo Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Borrower), Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent, the financial institutions from time to time party thereto as lenders and the other parties thereto. Capitalized terms used herein without definition have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.
In my capacity as the [chief financial officer/equivalent officer] of the Borrower, and not in my individual or personal capacity (and without personal liability), I hereby certify on behalf of the Borrower that as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the Transactions and the incurrence of indebtedness and obligations incurred in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Transactions on the date hereof that:
1. Company (as used herein Company means the Borrower and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole) is not now, nor will the incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the Merger on the Closing Date (and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans), on a pro forma basis, render Company insolvent as defined in this paragraph; in this context, insolvent means that (i) the fair value of assets (on a going concern basis) of the Company is less than the amount that will be required to pay the total liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured, (ii) the present fair salable value of assets (on a going concern basis) of the Company is less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability on existing debts as they become absolute and matured in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) the Company ceases to pay its current obligations in the ordinary course of business as they generally become due, or (iv) the Companys aggregate property is not, at a fair valuation, sufficient, or if disposed of at a fairly conducted sale under legal process, would not be, sufficient to enable payment of all obligations, due and accruing due. The term debts as used in this Certificate includes any legal liability, whether matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute, fixed or contingent and values of assets shall mean the amount of which the assets (both tangible and intangible) in their entirety would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller, with a commercially reasonable period of time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, with neither being under compulsion to act.
2. The incurrence of the obligations under the Credit Agreement and the consummation of the other Transactions on the Closing Date (and after giving effect to the application of the proceeds of the Loans), on a pro forma basis, will not leave Company with property remaining in its hands constituting unreasonably small capital. I understand that unreasonably small capital depends upon the nature of the particular business or businesses conducted or to be conducted, and I have reached my conclusion
2 | Defined terms to be aligned with those in the definitive Credit Agreement, but consistent with this form of solvency certificate. |
Annex III-1
based on my current assumptions regarding the needs and anticipated needs for capital of the businesses conducted or anticipated to be conducted by Company in light of projected financial statements and available credit capacity, which current assumption I do not believe to be unreasonable in light of the circumstances applicable thereto.
Annex III-2
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Solvency Certificate in such undersigneds capacity as an officer of the Borrower, on behalf of the Borrower, and not individually, as of the date first above written.
