Other terms are defined within the text. All defined terms are shown in the Index of Defined Terms that follows the table of contents.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, AMMA is a publicly held corporation whose shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “AMMA Shares”), trade on the The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the “NASDAQ”);

 

WHEREAS, AMMA desires to purchase from each holder of SCWorx shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “SCWorx Shares”), in exchange for newly issued AMMA Shares, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement;

 

WHEREAS, as a result of the transactions contemplated herein, AMMA will become the sole stockholder of SCWorx; and

 

WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined on Exhibit A hereto.

 

AGREEMENT

 

The Parties to this Agreement, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1 DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION

 

1.1           Structure of the Exchange.

 

(a)          On the Closing Date, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, all of the holders of SCWorx Shares (the “SCWorx Stockholders”), shall sell, transfer and assign to AMMA, and AMMA agrees to acquire, all of the SCWorx Shares. As of the Closing Date, the SCWorx Shares shall constitute all of the issued and outstanding securities of SCWorx.

 

(b)          In accordance with the Exchange Ratio set forth on Exhibit B, assuming the closing price of AMMA stock is $.67 per share on the Closing Date, the aggregate purchase price for the SCWorx Shares shall be 3,731.3433 AMMA Shares for each SCWorx Share, or 74,626,866 AMMA Shares (collectively, the “Acquisition Shares”), which shall represent approximately eighty percent (80%) of the issued and outstanding AMMA Shares on the Closing Date. The Acquisition Shares will be issued to each respective SCWorx Stockholder in proportion to their respective pro rata ownership of the SCWorx Shares. If, on the Closing Date the closing price of AMMA Shares on the NASDAQ has decreased below the $.67 trading price used for the calculation of the Exchange Ratio, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted, pursuant to Exhibit B, and the number of Acquisition Shares issuable to SCWorx Stockholders shall be correspondingly increased to provide the SCWorx Stockholders with the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement.

 

 

 

 

The sale of the SCWorx Shares and issuance of the Acquisition Shares contemplated hereunder shall be referred to herein as the “Exchange.”

 

1.2           Closing. Unless this Agreement is earlier terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 9.1, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, the closing of the Exchange (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Zysman, Aharoni, Gayer and Sullivan & Worcester LLP, 1633 Broadway, New York, NY 10019 as promptly as practicable (but in no event later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction or waiver of the last to be satisfied or waived of the conditions set forth in Article 6, Article 7 and Article 8, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of such conditions), or at such other time, date and place as AMMA and SCWorx may mutually agree in writing. The date on which the Closing actually takes place is referred to as the “Closing Date.”

 

1.3           Exchange of Securities.

 

(a)          At the Closing, each SCWorx Stockholder shall surrender the certificate or certificates that immediately prior to the Closing represent the SCWorx Shares (the “SCWorx Certificates”) to AMMA in exchange for the Acquisition Shares.

 

(b)          Promptly after the Closing, AMMA or its designated exchange agent shall make available to each SCWorx Stockholder a letter of transmittal and instructions for use in effecting the surrender of SCWorx Certificates in exchange for the Acquisition Shares. Upon surrender of a SCWorx Certificate to AMMA or such exchange agent together with the letter of transmittal, duly executed, the SCWorx Stockholder shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefore such number of Acquisition Shares as such SCWorx Stockholder has the right to receive in respect of the SCWorx Certificate so surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Article 1.

 

(c)          No dividends or other distributions declared or made with respect to AMMA Shares with a record date after the Closing Date shall be paid to the holder of any unsurrendered SCWorx Stock Certificate with respect to the AMMA Shares that such holder has the right to receive in the Exchange until such holder surrenders such SCWorx Stock Certificate or delivers an affidavit of loss or destruction in lieu thereof in accordance with this Section 1.3 (at which time such holder shall be entitled, subject to the effect of applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar laws, to receive all such dividends and distributions, without interest).

 

(d)          No Party to this Agreement shall be liable to any holder of any SCWorx Stock Certificate or to any other Person with respect to any AMMA Shares (or dividends or distributions with respect thereto) or for any cash amounts required to be delivered to any public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property law, escheat law or similar Legal Requirement.

 

 2 

 

 

1.4           Further Action. If, at any time after the Closing Date, any further action is determined by AMMA or SCWorx to be necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, then the officers and directors of AMMA shall be fully authorized, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to take such action.

 

1.5           Tax Consequences. For federal income Tax purposes, the Exchange is intended to constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. The Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

 

1.6           Allocation Certificate. SCWorx will prepare and deliver to AMMA at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date a certificate signed by the Chief Financial Officer of SCWorx (or if there is no Chief Financial Officer, the principal accounting officer of SCWorx) in a form reasonably acceptable to AMMA, which sets forth a true and complete list, as of immediately prior to the Closing Date (giving effect to all applicable conversions into or exercises of securities convertible into or exercisable for SCWorx Shares, of: (a) the record holders of SCWorx Shares; (b) the number of SCWorx Shares owned and/or underlying such securities and the per share exercise price, as applicable, for each such security; and (c) the number of Acquisition Shares each such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to Section 1.1 (the “Allocation Certificate”).

Since AMMA’s inception, the certifications and statements required by (A) Rule 13a-14 or 15d-14 promulgated under the Exchange Act and (B) 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 (Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act) relating to the AMMA SEC Documents (collectively, the “Certifications”) were accurate and complete and complied as to form and content with all applicable Legal Requirements as of the date they were filed and no current or former principal executive officer or principal financial officer of AMMA has failed to make the Certifications required of him or her.

Other than as expressly disclosed in the AMMA SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, there has been no material change in AMMA’s accounting methods or principles that would be required to be disclosed in AMMA’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP.

Since AMMA’s inception, there have been no material changes in AMMA’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

(h)          AMMA’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are reasonably designed to ensure that all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by AMMA in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that all such information is accumulated and communicated to AMMA’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the Certifications.

3.8           Real Property; Leaseholds.

AMMA is not bound by, and no AMMA IP Rights are subject to, any Contract containing any covenant or other contractual obligation that in any way limits or restricts the ability of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary to use, exploit, assert or enforce any AMMA IP Rights anywhere in the world, in each case as would materially limit the business of AMMA as currently conducted or planned to be conducted.

 

(e)          Except as identified on Section 3.9(e) of the AMMA Disclosure Schedule, AMMA or one of its Subsidiaries solely owns all right, title, and interest to and in the AMMA Registered IP listed on (or required to be listed on) Section 3.9(b) of the AMMA Disclosure Schedule free and clear of any Encumbrances.

(ii)         Each Person who is or was an employee or contractor of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary and who is or was involved in the creation or development of any AMMA IP Rights has signed a written agreement containing an assignment of such Intellectual Property to AMMA or such Subsidiary and confidentiality provisions protecting trade secrets and confidential information of AMMA and its Subsidiaries; provided, that any such agreement with a third party contractor for research, development or manufacturing services on behalf of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary may provide that such third party contractor reserves its rights in improvements to such third party contractor’s Intellectual Property or generally applicable research, development or manufacturing technology, in either case that is not specific to any product or service of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary. To the Knowledge of AMMA and its Subsidiaries, no current or former shareholder, officer, director, employee or contractor of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary has any claim, right (whether or not currently exercisable), or interest to or in any AMMA IP Rights. To the Knowledge of AMMA and its Subsidiaries, no employee or contractor of AMMA or any or any of its Subsidiaries is (a) bound by or otherwise subject to any Contract restricting him or her from performing his or her duties for AMMA or such Subsidiary or (b) in breach of any Contract with any current or former employer or other Person concerning AMMA IP Rights or confidentiality provisions protecting trade secrets and confidential information comprising AMMA IP Rights.

 

(iii)        To the Knowledge of AMMA, no funding, facilities or personnel of any Governmental Body were used, directly or indirectly, to develop or create, in whole or in part, any AMMA IP Rights in which AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary has an ownership interest.

Neither AMMA nor any AMMA Subsidiary is currently the beneficiary of any extension of time within which to file any Tax Return.

No issues relating to Taxes of AMMA or any AMMA Subsidiary were raised by the relevant Tax authority in any completed audit or examination that would reasonably be expected to result in a material amount of Taxes in a later taxable period.

4.5           No Solicitation.

 

(a)          Each Party agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries shall, nor shall it nor any of its Subsidiaries authorize or permit any of the Representatives retained by it or any of its Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, respond to or take any action to facilitate or encourage any inquiries or the communication, making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry or take any action that could reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (ii) enter into or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iii) furnish any information regarding such Party to any Person in connection with, in response to, relating to or for the purpose of assisting with or facilitating an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry; (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (subject to Sections 5.2 and 5.3); (v) execute or enter into any letter of intent or similar document or any Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Acquisition Transaction (an “Acquisition Agreement”); or (vi) grant any waiver or release under any confidentiality, standstill or similar agreement (other than to the other Party).

 

(b)          Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 4.5(a), prior to receipt of the Required SCWorx Stockholder Vote, in the case of SCWorx, or the Required AMMA Stockholder Vote, in the case of AMMA, such Party, (i) may enter into discussions or negotiations with, any Person that has made (and not withdrawn) a bona fide, unsolicited, Acquisition Proposal, which such Party’s Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its independent financial advisor, if any, and its outside legal counsel, constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Superior Offer, and (ii) thereafter furnish to such Person non-public information regarding such Party pursuant to an executed confidentiality agreement containing provisions (including nondisclosure provisions, use restrictions, non-solicitation provisions, no hire provisions and “standstill” provisions) at least as favorable to such Party as those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, but in each case of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), only if: (A) neither such Party nor any Representative of such Party has breached this Section 4.5; (B) the Board of Directors of such Party determines in good faith based on the advice of outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would constitute a breach of the fiduciary duties of the Board of Directors of such Party under applicable Legal Requirements; (C) at least three (3) Business Days prior to furnishing any such non-public information to, or entering into discussions with, such Person, such Party gives the other Party written notice of the identity of such Person and of such Party’s intention to furnish nonpublic information to, or enter into discussions with, such Person; and (D) at least three (3) Business Days prior to furnishing any such non-public information to such Person, such Party furnishes such non-public information to SCWorx or AMMA, as applicable (to the extent such non-public information has not been previously furnished by such Party to SCWorx or AMMA, as applicable). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in the event any Representative of such Party (whether or not such Representative is purporting to act on behalf of such Party) takes any action that, if taken by such Party, would constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party, the taking of such action by such Representative shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Section 4.5 by such Party for purposes of this Agreement.

 

 52 

 

 

(c)          If any Party or any Representative of such Party receives an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry at any time during the Pre-Closing Period, then such Party shall promptly (and in no event later than 24 hours after such Party becomes aware of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry) advise the other Party orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry (including the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry, and the terms thereof). Such Party shall keep the other Party fully informed, on a current basis, in all material respects with respect to the status and terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry and any modification or proposed modification thereto. In addition to the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other Party with at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice of a meeting of its board of directors (or any committee thereof) at which its board of directors (or any committee thereof) is reasonably expected to consider an Acquisition Proposal or Acquisition Inquiry it has received.

 

(d)          Each Party shall and shall cause its respective Representatives to, cease immediately and cause to be terminated, and shall not authorize or knowingly permit any of its or their Representatives to continue, any and all existing activities, discussions or negotiations, if any, with any third party conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Acquisition Proposal. The Parties shall promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days following the date hereof) request in writing each Person which as heretofore executed a confidentiality agreement in connection with its consideration of an Acquisition Proposal to return all confidential information heretofore furnished to such Person by or on behalf of the respective Party, and such Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have such information returned or destroyed (to the extent destruction of such information is permitted by such confidentiality agreement).

 

ARTICLE 5 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

 

5.1           AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting and Proxy Statement.

 

(a)          As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of this Agreement AMMA shall (i) establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of and, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter in conformity with this Section 5.1, but in no event later than the 75th Calendar Day after the date hereof, convene the AMMA Stockholders Meeting, and (ii) publish the notice of the AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting (the “AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting Notice”). In addition, AMMA shall prepare, with the cooperation of SCWorx, and cause to be submitted to the SEC the Proxy Statement.

(b)          AMMA covenants and agrees that the Proxy Statement will not, at the time that the Proxy Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto is filed with or submitted to the SEC or is first mailed to the AMMA Stockholders, at the time of the AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting and at the Closing Date, 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 made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AMMA makes no covenant, representation or warranty with respect to statements made in the Proxy Statement (and the letter to shareholders, notice of meeting and form of proxy included therewith), if any, based on information furnished in writing by SCWorx specifically for inclusion therein. Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC in all material respects.

 

(c)          AMMA shall notify SCWorx promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, if any, and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC, if any, for amendments or supplements to the Proxy Statement or for additional information and shall supply SCWorx with copies of all correspondence between AMMA or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Statement or the Contemplated Transactions. AMMA shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond as promptly as reasonably practicable to any comments of the SEC or the staff of the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement, and shall give SCWorx and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the SEC or its staff.

 

(d)          Each of the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to comply with the applicable rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC and the Companies Law, to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff.

Each Party shall promptly furnish to the other Party all information concerning such Party and such Party’s subsidiaries and such Party’s shareholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.1. If any event relating to SCWorx occurs, or if SCWorx becomes aware of any information, that should be disclosed in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement, then SCWorx shall promptly inform AMMA thereof and shall cooperate fully with AMMA in filing such amendment or supplement with the SEC and, if appropriate, in mailing such amendment or supplement to the shareholders of AMMA. No filing of, or amendment or supplement to the Proxy Statement will be made by AMMA without providing SCWorx a reasonable opportunity to review and comment thereon.

 

(e)          Prior to the Closing Date, AMMA shall, subject to SCWorx undertaking in Section 5.18 below, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all regulatory approvals needed to ensure that the AMMA Shares to be issued in the Exchange (to the extent required) be exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and every jurisdiction of the United States in which any registered holder of SCWorx Capital Stock has an address of record on the Closing Date; provided, however, that AMMA shall not be required: (i) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is not now qualified; or (ii) to file a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction.

 

 54 

 

 

(f)          Each of SCWorx and AMMA agree to provide promptly to the other such information concerning its business and financial statements and affairs as, in the reasonable judgment of the providing party or its counsel, may be required or appropriate for inclusion in the Proxy Statement, or in any amendments or supplements thereto, and to cause its counsel and auditors to cooperate with the other’s counsel and auditors in the preparation of the Proxy Statement. AMMA shall not include in the Proxy Statement any information with respect to SCWorx or its Affiliates, the form and content of which information shall not have been approved by SCWorx prior to such inclusion.

 

5.2           [Reserved].

 

5.3           AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting.

 

(a)          As promptly as practicable after the date hereof, AMMA shall (i) take all action necessary under applicable Legal Requirements to call, give notice of (pursuant to publication of the AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting Notice in accordance with Section 5.1 above) and hold a meeting of the holders of AMMA Shares for the purpose of seeking approval of the following items, (A) the amendment of AMMA’s certificate of incorporation to increase the authorized AMMA Shares, (B) the amendment of AMMA’s certificate of incorporation to effect the Reverse Split, (C) the amendment of AMMA’s certificate of incorporation to effect the name change of AMMA, (D) to approve the purchase by AMMA of a “runoff” directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for a period of seven years following the Closing, (E) the Contemplated Transactions, and (F) any other matter required, at the reasonable discretion of the Board of Directors of AMMA and agreed to by SCWorx, in order to give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the matters contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A)–(F), collectively, the “AMMA Stockholder Matters”) and (ii) mail to the AMMA Stockholders as of the record date established for shareholders’ meeting of AMMA, the Proxy Statement (such meeting, the “AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting”).

 55 

 

 

(c)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time prior to the receipt of the Required AMMA Stockholder Vote, the AMMA Board of Directors may make a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change, if the AMMA Board of Directors has received an Acquisition Proposal that the AMMA Board of Directors has determined in its reasonable, good faith judgment, after consultation with AMMA’s outside legal counsel, constitutes a Superior Offer, the AMMA Board of Directors determines in its good faith judgment, after consultation with AMMA’s outside legal counsel, that a failure to make AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change would reasonably constitute a breach of its fiduciary obligations under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that prior to AMMA taking any action permitted under this Section 5.3(c), AMMA must (1) promptly notify SCWorx, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days before making a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Offer, which notice shall state expressly that AMMA has received an Acquisition Proposal that the AMMA Board of Directors intends to declare a Superior Offer and that the AMMA Board of Directors intends to make a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change, and (2) attach to such notice the most current version of the proposed agreement (which version shall be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Offer.

 

(d)          Notwithstanding Section 5.3(c), AMMA’s obligation to call, give notice of and hold the AMMA Stockholders’ Meeting in accordance with Section 5.1 shall not be limited or otherwise affected by the commencement, disclosure, announcement or submission of any Superior Offer or Acquisition Proposal, or by any withdrawal or modification of the AMMA Board Recommendation.

 

(e)          Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit AMMA or its Board of Directors from making any disclosure to the AMMA Stockholders if the AMMA Board of Directors determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that such disclosure is required for the AMMA Board of Directors to comply with its fiduciary duties to the AMMA Stockholders under applicable Legal Requirements; provided, however, that (i) in the case of any such disclosure or public statement shall be deemed to be a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless the AMMA Board of Directors reaffirms the AMMA Board Recommendation in such disclosure or public statement or within five (5) Business Days of such disclosure or public statement; and (ii) AMMA shall not effect a AMMA Board Adverse Recommendation Change unless specifically permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 5.3(c).

(a)          Each Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to comply promptly with all Legal Requirements that may be imposed on such Party with respect to the Contemplated Transactions and, subject to the conditions set forth in Article 6 hereof, to consummate the Contemplated Transactions, as promptly as practicable. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Party agrees to file or otherwise submit, as soon as practicable after the date of this Agreement, but in any event no later than 20 Business Days of the date hereof, all applications, notices, reports, undertakings and other documents reasonably required to be filed by such Party with or otherwise submitted by such Party to any Governmental Body with respect to the Contemplated Transactions, and to submit promptly any additional information requested by any such Governmental Body.

(a)          Unless otherwise agreed in writing by SCWorx pursuant to a written notice provided to AMMA no later than three (3) calendar days prior to the Closing Date, effective as of the Closing Date, and subject to any applicable law, AMMA shall, and shall cause any AMMA Subsidiary to, terminate the employment and service of each AMMA Associate (the “Terminated AMMA Associates”) other than those employees which SCWorx shall notify AMMA should not be terminated, such that neither AMMA nor any AMMA Subsidiary shall have any AMMA Associate in its employ or service as of the Closing Date other than those employees which SCWorx has designated.

Prior to the Closing, AMMA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply, in all material respects, with all of the requirements of the WARN Act and any applicable state.

 

(c)          Schedule 6.7(c) sets forth, with respect to each Previously Terminated AMMA Associate (together, the “Former AMMA Associates”), AMMA’s good faith estimate of the amount of all change of control payments, severance payments, termination or similar payments, notice payments and/or obligations, retention payments, bonuses and other payments and benefits (including any COBRA costs), owed to or to be paid or provided to each Former AMMA Associate, and the amount by which any of such Former AMMA Associate’s compensation or benefits may be accelerated or increased, and any related Tax or contribution payable by AMMA, in each case, whether under any AMMA Employee Plan or otherwise, as a result of (i) the execution of this Agreement, (ii) the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, or (iii) the termination of employment or service of such Former AMMA Associate at or at any time prior to the Closing Date (together, the “Terminated AMMA Associate Payments”).

AMMA shall provide SCWorx with evidence that such AMMA Employee Plan(s) have been terminated (or with respect to any health and welfare benefit plan with a monthly coverage period that irrevocable action to terminate such AMMA Employee Plan(s) at the end of such monthly period has been taken) effective no later than the day immediately preceding the Closing Date pursuant to resolutions of the AMMA Board of Directors. The form and substance of such resolutions shall be subject to reasonable review and approval of SCWorx. AMMA also shall take such other actions in furtherance of terminating such AMMA Employee Plan(s) as SCWorx may reasonably require. In the event that termination of the AMMA Employee Plans would reasonably be anticipated to trigger liquidation charges, surrender charges or other fees then AMMA shall take such actions as are necessary to reasonably estimate the amount of such charges and/or fees and provide such estimate in writing to SCWorx no later than 14 calendar days prior to the Closing Date.

 

(e)          This Section 5.7 shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each of the Parties to this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 5.7, express or implied, will (i) constitute or be treated as an amendment of any AMMA Employee Plan or SCWorx Employee Plan (or an undertaking to amend any such plan), (ii) prohibit AMMA, any AMMA Affiliate, SCWorx, or any SCWorx Affiliate from amending, modifying or terminating any AMMA Employee Plan or SCWorx Employee Plan pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms thereof, or (iii) confer any rights or benefits on any Person other than AMMA and SCWorx.

 

5.8           Indemnification of Officers and Directors.

 

(a)          From the Closing Date through the seventh anniversary of the date on which the Closing Date occurs, AMMA shall indemnify and hold harmless each person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date hereof, or who becomes prior to the Closing Date, a director or officer of AMMA (the “D&O Indemnified Parties”), against all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, fines and reasonable fees, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, arising out of or pertaining to the fact that the D&O Indemnified Party is or was a director or officer of AMMA, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Closing Date, to the fullest extent permitted under the DGCL.

 

 58 

 

 

(b)          The certificate of incorporation of AMMA shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of present and former directors and officers of each of AMMA than are presently set forth in the certificate of incorporation of AMMA and the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of SCWorx, as applicable, which provisions shall not be amended, modified or repealed for a period of seven years’ time from the Closing Date in a manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Closing Date, were officers or directors of AMMA.

 

(c)          AMMA shall purchase a “tail” insurance policy for AMMA’s officers and directors with an effective date as of the Closing Date, which shall remain effective for seven years following the Closing Date, with at least the same coverage and amounts and containing the same terms and conditions that are not less favorable to the AMMA officers and directors than the Existing AMMA D&O Policies.

 

(d)          AMMA shall pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by the persons referred to in this Section 5.8 in connection with their enforcement of their rights provided in this Section 5.8.

 

(e)          The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be in addition to the rights otherwise available to the D&O Indemnified Parties by law, charter, statute, bylaw, certificate of incorporation or agreement. The obligations of AMMA under this Section 5.8 shall survive the consummation of the Exchange and shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any D&O Indemnified Party to whom this Section 5.8 applies without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnified Party (it being expressly agreed that the D&O Indemnified Parties to whom this Section 5.8 applies, as well as their heirs and representatives, shall be third party beneficiaries of this Section 5.8, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 5.8).

 

(f)          In the event AMMA or any of its successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or Entity of such consolidation or Exchange, or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of AMMA shall succeed to the obligations set forth in this Section 5.8.

 

5.9           Additional Agreements. The Parties shall (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be taken all actions necessary to consummate the Contemplated Transactions and (b) reasonably cooperate with the other Parties and provide the other Parties with such assistance as may be reasonably requested for the purpose of facilitating the performance by each Party of its respective obligations under this Agreement and to enable the Surviving Corporation to continue to meet its obligations under this Agreement following the Closing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Party to this Agreement: (i) shall make all filings and other submissions (if any) and give all notices (if any) required to be made and given by such Party in connection with the Contemplated Transactions; (ii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to lift any injunction prohibiting, or any other legal bar to, the Contemplated Transactions; and (iii) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the conditions precedent to the consummation of this Agreement.

SCWorx will cooperate with AMMA as reasonably requested by AMMA with respect to the Nasdaq Listing Application and promptly furnish to AMMA all information concerning SCWorx and the SCWorx Stockholders that may be required or reasonably requested in connection with any action contemplated by this Section 5.11.

(b)          AMMA and SCWorx shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange to qualify, and agree not to, and not to permit or cause any Affiliate or any Subsidiary to, take any actions or cause any action to be taken which would reasonably be expected to prevent the Exchange from qualifying, as a “reorganization” under Section 368(a) of the Code.

 

(c)          This Agreement is intended to constitute, and the Parties hereby adopt this Agreement as, a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.368-2(g).

5.15         Takeover Statutes. If any “control share acquisition”, “fair price”, “moratorium” or other anti-takeover Legal Requirement becomes or is deemed to applicable to AMMA, SCWorx, or the Contemplated Transactions, then each of AMMA, SCWorx and their respective board of directors shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that the Contemplated Transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated hereby and otherwise act to render such anti-takeover Legal Requirement inapplicable to the foregoing.

 

5.16         Validity of Private Placement. SCWorx shall provide reasonable evidence to AMMA that the issuance of AMMA Shares in the Exchange shall validly qualify for an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the equivalent state “blue-sky” laws.

(a)          Survival. All representations and warranties of SCWorx contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date and will remain operative and in full force and effect for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 10.1, from and after the Closing, the SCWorx Stockholders listed on Appendix B (the “Majority SCWorx Stockholders”), on a joint and several basis, agree to indemnify and hold harmless AMMA, its officers, directors, members, managers, employees, subsidiaries and affiliates (each, an “AMMA Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, assessments, adjustments, payments, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees (collectively, “Losses”) related to or arising out of any breach by SCWorx of any representation or warranty given or made by SCWorx in this Agreement or any other document executed by it pursuant hereto any and all actions, suits, claims or legal, administrative, arbitrative, governmental or other proceedings or investigations against any AMMA Indemnified Party arising out of such breach. Any Losses payable hereunder by the Majority SCWorx Stockholders shall, at the option of the Majority SCWorx Stockholders, be paid exclusively in such number of shares of AMMA Common Stock equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of Losses divided by (ii) the closing price of AMMA Shares used for the calculation of the Exchange Ratio (per Exhibit B).

 

(b)          Limitations. Except for claims for Losses based on fraud, no claim for indemnification of an AMMA Indemnified Party under Section 10.1(a) may be made by an AMMA Indemnified Party against the Majority SCWorx Stockholders unless and until the aggregate of all such claims exceeds a threshold of $50,000, after which the AMMA Indemnified Party may only recover its Losses represented by such claims in excess of such threshold. The maximum aggregate liability of the Majority SCWorx Stockholders to the AMMA Indemnified Parties hereunder shall not exceed $1,000,000. For the sole purpose of determining the amount of any claims under this Section 10.1 (and not for determining whether or not any breaches of representations or warranties have occurred), any representation or warranty of SCWorx shall not be deemed qualified by any references to any materiality, Material Adverse Effect or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.

 

 71 

 

 

10.2         Non-Survival of Representations and Warranties. Except as provided in Section 10.1, the representations and warranties of SCWorx, AMMA and the SCWorx Stockholders contained in this Agreement or any certificate or instrument delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate at the Closing Date, and only the covenants that by their terms survive the Closing Date and this Section 10.2 shall survive the Closing Date.

 

10.3         Amendment. This Agreement may be amended with the approval of the respective Boards of Directors of SCWorx and AMMA at any time (whether before or after obtaining the Required AMMA Stockholder Vote or the Required SCWorx Stockholder Vote); provided, however, that after any such adoption and approval of this Agreement by a Party’s shareholders, no amendment shall be made, which by applicable Legal Requirement requires further approval of the shareholders of such Party, without the further approval of such shareholders. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of SCWorx and AMMA.

 

10.4         Waiver.

 

(a)          No failure on the part of any Party to exercise any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of any Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy; and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right, privilege or remedy.

 

(b)          No Party shall be deemed to have waived any claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege or remedy is expressly set forth in a written instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific instance in which it is given.

 

10.5         Entire Agreement; Counterparts; Exchanges by Facsimile. This Agreement and the other agreements referred to in this Agreement constitute the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among or between any of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

EXHIBIT B

 

Calculation of Exchange Ratio and Adjustment

 

The 74,626,866 Acquisition Shares to be issued to SCWorx Stockholders pursuant to Section 1.1(b) assumes a $0.67 price per AMMA Share on the Closing Date and is based on a valuation of $50 million for the Acquisition Shares. In the event that on the Closing Date, the closing price per AMMA Share is less than $0.67, the number of Acquisition Shares issuable to the SCWorx Stockholders shall be proportionally adjusted such that the SCWorx Stockholders shall receive such number of Acquisition Shares equal to $50 million divided by the closing price per AMMA Share on the Closing Date. For illustrative purposes only, if, on the Closing Date, the closing price per AMMA Share equals $0.50, then the number of Acquisition Shares issuable at Closing shall total 100,000,000. There shall be no adjustment to the number of Acquisition Shares in the event the closing price per AMMA Share on the Closing Date is greater than $0.67.
