Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On January 30, 2013, ACI Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (ACI), Ocelot Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of ACI (Purchaser), and Online Resources Corporation (ORCC) entered into a Transaction Agreement (the Transaction Agreement) providing for the acquisition of ORCC by ACI. The board of directors of ORCC has unanimously (i) approved and declared advisable the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including each of the Offer (as defined below) and the Merger (as defined below), in accordance with the requirements of Delaware law and (ii) resolved to recommend that the stockholders of ORCC accept the Offer and tender their ORCC Shares (as defined below) to Purchaser pursuant to the Offer. The boards of directors of ACI and Purchaser have approved and declared advisable the Transaction Agreement, the Offer, the Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the requirements of Delaware law.
Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions described therein, ACI has agreed to cause Purchaser to commence a tender offer (the Offer) as promptly as practicable after January 30, 2013, for all of ORCCs outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the ORCC Shares), at a purchase price of $3.85 per ORCC Share in cash, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes (the Offer Price). The obligation of ACI and Purchaser to consummate the Offer is subject to the condition that there be validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the Offer and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Offer that number of ORCC Shares that, together with any other ORCC Shares beneficially owned by ACI or its subsidiaries, constitutes a majority of all of the ORCC Shares outstanding and entitled to vote in the election of directors, on a fully diluted basis on the date of purchase (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities of ORCC, regardless of the conversion or exercise price or other terms and conditions of such securities). The consummation of the Offer is also subject to the satisfaction of other customary conditions, including the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Agreement and the absence of a material adverse effect. The consummation of the Offer is not subject to any financing condition.
Following the completion of the Offer, and subject to the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into ORCC (the Merger), with ORCC surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of ACI. At the effective time of the Merger, each ORCC Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to such effective time (other than (i) ORCC Shares then owned by ACI, ORCC or any of their respective direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiaries and (ii) ORCC Shares that are held by any stockholders who properly demand appraisal in connection with the Merger) will cease to be issued and outstanding, will be cancelled, will cease to exist and will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the same amount in cash per ORCC Share that is paid pursuant to the Offer, without interest, less any applicable withholding taxes. Each share of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the Merger beneficially owned by ACI will remain outstanding after the effective time of the Merger.
ORCC granted to Purchaser under the Transaction Agreement an irrevocable option (the Top-Up Option), exercisable after the consummation of the Offer and prior to the effective time of the Merger, to purchase at a price per ORCC Share equal to the Offer Price up to that number of newly issued ORCC Shares (the Top-Up Option Shares) from ORCC at a per ORCC Share purchase price equal to the Offer Price that, when added to the number of ORCC Shares owned by ACI and Purchaser at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes 90% of the number of ORCC Shares that will be outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares. If ACI and Purchaser acquire, together with the ORCC Shares held by ACI, Purchaser and any other subsidiary of ACI, at least 90% of the outstanding ORCC Shares and at least 90% of the shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, they
will complete the Merger through the short form procedures available under Section 253 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. The obligation of ORCC to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option is subject to certain customary conditions, including that (i) at the time of exercise, Purchaser owns more than 50% of all of the ORCC Shares outstanding and entitled to vote in the election of directors, on a fully diluted basis (which assumes conversion or exercise of all derivative securities of ORCC, regardless of the conversion or exercise price or other terms and conditions of such securities) but less than 90% of the ORCC Shares then-outstanding, (ii) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of ORCC Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by ACI or Purchaser constitutes 90% of the number of ORCC Shares that will be outstanding immediately after the exercise of the Top-Up Option, (iii) the number of Top-Up Option Shares issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option may in no event exceed the number of authorized and unissued ORCC Shares not otherwise reserved for issuance for outstanding ORCC stock options or other obligations of ORCC, and (iv) Purchaser has accepted for payment all ORCC Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn.
The Transaction Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of this nature.
ORCC may terminate the Transaction Agreement under certain circumstances, including to accept, and enter into a definitive agreement with respect to, a bona fide proposal or offer by an unaffiliated third person to acquire 50% or more of the ORCC Shares (giving effect to the conversion of ORCCs Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock), assets, businesses, securities or ownership interests (including the securities of any subsidiary of ORCC) on terms that the board of directors of ORCC determines in good faith, after consultation with ORCCs financial and legal advisors, and considering such factors as the board of directors of ORCC considers to be appropriate (including the conditionality and the timing and likelihood of success of such proposal or offer), are more favorable to ORCCs stockholders than the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement and that the board of directors of ORCC determines in good faith, after consultation with ORCCs financial and legal advisors, is reasonably likely to be completed, taking into account all financial, regulatory, legal and other aspects of such proposal or offer (including the timing and likelihood of consummation thereof) (a Superior Proposal). Such termination is subject to the conditions that ORCC has otherwise complied with certain terms of the Transaction Agreement, including notice by ORCC to ACI of ORCCs intention to terminate the Transaction Agreement and accept the Superior Proposal, the opportunity of ACI to revise the terms of the Offer, the determination by the board of directors of ORCC that the alternative proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and payment of a $8.0 million termination fee to ACI.
Shareholder Agreements
In addition, in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Agreement, ACI and Purchaser entered into separate Shareholder Agreements (the Shareholder Agreements) with certain funds affiliated with Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (collectively, Tennenbaum), which collectively beneficially own approximately 22.3% of all outstanding ORCC Shares (on an as-converted basis) and Joseph L. Cowan, ORCCs CEO, who beneficially owns approximately 1.4% of all outstanding ORCC Shares (on an as-converted basis), in each case as of January 30, 2013, based on information provided by them (collectively, the Supporting Stockholders). Pursuant to such Shareholder Agreements, (i) the Supporting Stockholders have agreed, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Shareholder Agreements, among other things, to tender in the Offer the ORCC Shares beneficially owned by them immediately following consummation of the Offer and Tennenbaum agreed to sell to Purchaser all shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock owned by them for cash immediately following the date on which Purchaser accepts for payment the ORCC Shares validly tendered in the Offer and (ii) each of the Supporting Stockholders has agreed to certain actions in support of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, including granting an irrevocable limited proxy and power of attorney, to the fullest extent possible, to ACI and Purchaser, or any nominee thereof, with full power of substitution, during and for the term of the Shareholder Agreements, to vote all the ORCC Shares that such Supporting Stockholder beneficially owns at the time of such vote, at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the ORCC stockholders (i) in favor of adoption of the Transaction Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (ii) against (a) any alternative acquisition proposal made by a third party and (b) any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of ORCC under the Transaction Agreement.
Commitment Letter
On January 30, 2013, in connection with the Transaction Agreement, ACI entered into a commitment letter (the Commitment Letter), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association committed to provide, as a source of funding for the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement, financing of up to $750 million (the Commitment). The Commitment is subject to various conditions, including consummation of the Offer.
The foregoing summaries of (i) the Transaction Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, (ii) the Shareholder Agreements, and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (iii) the Commitment Letter, in each case, do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the full text of the Transaction Agreement, the Shareholder Agreements and the Commitment Letter furnished herewith as Exhibits 2.1, 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 10.1, respectively, which are incorporated herein by reference. The Transaction Agreement has been attached to provide investors with information regarding its terms and is not intended to provide any other factual information about ACI, Purchaser or ORCC, their respective businesses, or the actual conduct of their respective businesses during the period prior to the consummation of the Merger. The Transaction Agreement contains representations and warranties that are the product of negotiations among the parties thereto and the parties made to, and solely for the benefit of, each other as of specified dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to by the respective parties and are also qualified in important part by disclosure schedules delivered in connection with the Transaction Agreement. The representations and warranties may have been made for the purpose of allocating contractual risk between the parties to the agreements instead of establishing these matters as facts, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to investors.

Forward-Looking Statements
This current report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements based on current expectations that involve a number of risks and uncertainties.

No forward-looking statement can be guaranteed and actual results may differ materially from those that ACI and ORCC project. Numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statement, many of which are outside of the control of management. These factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the Transaction Agreement; (2) successful completion of the proposed transaction on a timely basis; (3) the impact of regulatory reviews on the proposed transaction; (4) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against one or both of ACI and ORCC and others following the announcement of the definitive transaction agreement; (5) risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations and the potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the transaction; and (6) other factors described in ACIs and ORCCs filings with the SEC, including their respective reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K.

II. THE OFFER
2.1. The Offer.

The obligation of Purchaser (and Parent to cause Purchaser) to accept for payment and to pay for Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer will be subject to the satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions set forth in Annex A. Each Share accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer will be purchased pursuant to the Offer in exchange for the right to receive (per Share) the Per Share Amount. Unless extended in accordance with Section 2.1(c), the Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the twentieth Business Day following the commencement of the Offer (the Initial Expiration Date) or, if the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(c), at the time and date to which the Offer has been so extended (such later time and date to which the Offer has been extended in accordance with Section 2.1(c), the Expiration Date). Purchaser expressly reserves the right to waive any such condition, to increase (but not decrease) the Per Share Amount payable in the Offer and to make any other changes in the terms of the Offer, subject, in each case, to the provisions of Section 2.1(b).
(b) Purchaser may not, without the prior written consent of the Company given in advance of the Acceptance Date, (i) decrease the Per Share Amount or change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (ii) reduce the maximum number of Shares to be purchased in the Offer, (iii) impose conditions to the Offer in addition to those set forth in Annex A, (iv) waive or change the Minimum Condition, or (v) amend any other term of the Offer in a manner adverse to the Company or the Companys stockholders.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including Section 8.1, Purchaser will from time to time extend the Offer beyond the scheduled Expiration Date for five Business Days in each instance (or for such different period to which the Purchaser and the Company reasonably agree or may be required by law) if, at the scheduled Expiration Date, any of the conditions to Purchasers obligation to
12
accept Shares for payment is not satisfied or waived. In addition, if all of the conditions to the Offer are satisfied or waived but the number of Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn, together with the Shares held by Parent and Purchaser, if any, is less than 90% of the then-outstanding number of Shares, then subject to Section 8.1, upon the Expiration Date and the initial purchase of Shares by Purchaser on the Acceptance Date, Purchaser will provide subsequent offering periods, as such term is defined in, and in accordance with, Rule 14d-11 promulgated under the Exchange Act (a Subsequent Offering Period), for an aggregate period not to exceed 20 Business Days (for all such extensions) and Purchaser will (i) give the required notice of such Subsequent Offering Period and (ii) accept and promptly pay for all Shares tendered as of such applicable expiration date in accordance with Section 2.4. The Offer Documents will provide for the possibility of a Subsequent Offering Period in a manner consistent with this Section 2.1(c).
(d) Upon the satisfaction or waiver (subject to Section 2.1(b)) by Purchaser of the conditions set forth in Annex A, Purchaser will accept for payment and pay for Shares properly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer (in accordance with Section 2.4) as promptly as practicable but in any event within three Business Days of such scheduled Expiration Date (the date of acceptance for payment, the Acceptance Date). In the event Shares are properly tendered and not withdrawn following the Acceptance Date, whether or not pursuant to a Subsequent Offering Period, Purchaser will accept for payment and pay the applicable Per Share Amount promptly after the tender of such Shares in accordance with this Section 2.1 and Section 2.4.
(e) Parent will provide or cause to be provided to Purchaser on a timely basis the funds necessary to purchase any Shares that Purchaser becomes obligated to purchase pursuant to the Offer. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Purchaser expressly reserves the right to delay payment for Shares in order to comply in whole or in part with applicable laws. Any such delay will be effected in compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act.
(f) As promptly as reasonably practicable following the date this Agreement (but in no event later than the twentieth Business Day following the date of this Agreement), Purchaser will file with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the Schedule TO) with respect to the Offer. The Schedule TO will contain or incorporate by reference an offer to purchase (the Offer to Purchase) and forms of the related letter of transmittal and other customary documents (the Schedule TO, the Offer to Purchase and such other documents, together with all supplements and amendments thereto, being referred to herein collectively as the Offer Documents). The Company and its counsel will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Offer Documents prior to their filing with the SEC and Parent and Purchaser will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel. Parent and Purchaser will (i) provide the Company and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a description of any oral comments) received by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents
13
promptly after receipt of such comments, (ii) consult with the Company (and give the Company and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review) regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto, and Parent and Purchaser will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Company and its counsel, and (iii) provide the Company and its counsel with copies of any written comments or responses thereto. Parent and Purchaser will endeavor in good faith to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents. Parent and Purchaser agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated to holders of Shares to the extent required by applicable law and under the rules and regulations of the SEC and Nasdaq. Parent, Purchaser and the Company will each promptly correct any information provided by any of them for use in the Offer Documents that becomes false or misleading in any material respect, and Parent and Purchaser will further take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule TO, as so corrected, to be filed with the SEC, and the other Offer Documents, as so corrected, to be disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws to give effect to the Offer.
(g) Neither Parent nor Purchaser will terminate the Offer without the prior written consent of the Company except pursuant to Article VIII. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, Purchaser will, and Parent will cause Purchaser to, promptly (and in any event within 24 hours of such termination) terminate the Offer and not acquire any Shares pursuant thereto. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article VIII, Purchaser will promptly return, and will cause any depositary acting on behalf of Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable law, all tendered Shares to the registered holders thereof.
(h) Following the Acceptance Date (and the expiration of any Subsequent Offering Period, if applicable), Parent, Purchaser and the Company will cause the Merger to become effective as promptly as practicable.
2.2. Company Action. (a) Subject to Section 5.8, the Company hereby consents to the Offer and the inclusion in the Offer Documents of the Company Board Recommendation.
(b) On the date that Purchaser files the Schedule TO, the Company will file with the SEC a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 (together with all amendments and supplements thereto, the Schedule 14D-9) containing the Company Board Recommendation and will disseminate the Schedule 14D-9 as required by Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act and any other applicable federal securities laws with the Offer Documents. Except with respect to any amendments filed in connection with a Superior Proposal or a Company Change of Recommendation, Parent and Purchaser, and their respective counsel, will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Schedule 14D-9 and any supplement or amendments thereto prior to its filing with the SEC and the Company will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent Purchaser and their respective counsel. Except with respect to any amendments filed in connection with a Superior Proposal or a Company Change of
14
Recommendation, the Company will (i) provide Parent, Purchaser and their counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a description of any oral comments) received by the Company or its counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to the Schedule 14D-9 promptly after receipt of such comments, (ii) consult with Parent and Purchaser (and give each a reasonable opportunity to review) regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto and the Company will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by Parent, Purchaser and their counsel, and (iii) provide Parent and Purchaser with copies of any written comments or responses thereto. The Company, Parent and Purchaser will promptly correct any information provided by each for use in the Schedule 14D-9 if and to the extent that such information has become false or misleading in any material respect. The Company will also take all steps necessary to cause the Schedule 14D-9 as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and disseminated to holders of Shares, in each case as and to the extent required by applicable federal securities laws.
(c) In connection with the Offer, the Company will cause its transfer agent to furnish Purchaser with mailing labels or electronic files containing the names and addresses of all record holders of Shares and with security position listings of Shares held in stock depositories, each as of the then most recent practical date, together with all other available listings and computer files containing names, addresses and security position listings of record holders and beneficial owners of Shares. The Company will furnish Purchaser with such additional information, including updated listings and computer files of the Companys stockholders, mailing labels and security position listings, and such other assistance in disseminating the Offer Documents to holders of Shares, as Parent or Purchaser may reasonably request, all at Purchasers expense. The Company, Parent and Purchaser will disseminate the Offer Documents and the Schedule 14D-9 to the holders of Shares together in the same mailing or other form of distribution. Subject to the requirements of applicable law, and except for such actions as are reasonably necessary to disseminate the Offer Documents, each of Parent and Purchaser will hold all information and documents provided to it under this Section 2.2(c) in confidence in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement.
2.3. Top-Up Option. (a) Subject to this Section 2.3, the Company hereby grants to Purchaser an option (the Top-Up Option) to purchase at a price per share of Company Common Stock equal to the Per Share Amount (the Top-Up Share Price), a number (but not less than that number) of newly issued Shares (the Top-Up Option Shares) that, when added to the number of Shares beneficially owned by Parent at the time of exercise of the Top-Up Option, constitutes 90% of the number of Shares that will be outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares, provided, that in no event will such number of Shares exceed the number of authorized and unissued Shares not otherwise reserved for issuance for outstanding Company Stock Options or Company Restricted Share Units or other obligations of the Company. The Top-Up Option may be exercised, in whole but not in part, at any one time on or after the Acceptance Date and prior to the earliest to occur of (i) the Effective Time, (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article VIII, or (iii) the occurrence of the fifth Business Day following the Expiration Date; provided, however, that the obligation of the Company to deliver Top-Up Option Shares upon the exercise of the
15
Top-Up Option is subject to the conditions that (A) no provision of any applicable law and no judgment, injunction, order or decree of any Governmental Authority prohibits such exercise, (B) at the time of exercise, Purchaser owns more than 50% of the Fully Diluted Shares but less than 90% of the Shares then-outstanding, (C) upon exercise of the Top-Up Option, the number of Shares owned, directly or indirectly, by Parent or Purchaser constitutes 90% of the number of Shares that will be outstanding immediately after the issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares, (D) the number of Top-Up Option Shares issued pursuant to the Top-Up Option may in no event exceed the number of authorized and unissued Shares not otherwise reserved for issuance for outstanding Company Stock Options or other obligations of the Company, and (E) Purchaser has accepted for payment and paid for all Shares validly tendered in the Offer and not validly withdrawn.
(b) Upon the exercise of the Top-Up Option in accordance with Section 2.3(a), Purchaser will notify the Company and set forth in such notice (i) the number of shares of Company Capital Stock expected to be owned, beneficially and of record, by Parent or Purchaser immediately preceding the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, (ii) a place and time for the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, and (iii) Purchasers agreement to (and Parents agreement to cause Purchaser to) consummate the Merger in accordance with the DGCL as contemplated by this Agreement as promptly as practicable following issuance of the Top-Up Option Shares. The Company will, as soon as practicable following receipt of such notice, notify Purchaser of the number of Shares then outstanding and the number of Top-Up Option Shares. At the closing of the purchase of the Top-Up Option Shares, Purchaser will pay the Company the aggregate purchase price required to be paid for the Top-Up Option Shares pursuant to this Section 2.3, and the Company will cause to be issued to Purchaser a Certificate representing the Top-Up Option Shares, which may include any legends required by applicable securities laws. At its election, Purchaser may pay the aggregate purchase price payable for the Top-Up Option Shares either (A) in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company or (B) by executing and delivering to the Company a promissory note in form mutually acceptable by Parent and the Company having a principal amount equal to the balance of the aggregate purchase price for the Top-Up Option Shares and an interest rate equal to the per annum interest rate payable with respect to the revolver under the Companys Credit Agreement with Bank of America dated February 21, 2007 (as in effect on the date hereof), which promissory note will be payable in full with accrued interest immediately at the Effective Time. Each of the Parties will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any issuance of Top-Up Option Shares is accomplished consistent with all applicable laws. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in any appraisal proceeding related to this Agreement, the fair value of the shares of Company Capital Stock subject to the appraisal proceeding will be determined in accordance with the DGCL without regard to the exercise by Purchaser of the Top-Up Option, any shares of Company Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Top-Up Option or the promissory note referred to in this Section 2.3(b).
(c) Parent and Purchaser understand that the Shares that Purchaser may acquire upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will not be registered under the
16
Securities Act, and will be issued in reliance upon an exemption thereunder for transactions not involving a public offering. Parent and Purchaser represent and warrant to the Company that Purchaser is, and will be upon any exercise of the Top-Up Option, an accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act). Purchaser agrees that any Top-Up Option Shares to be acquired upon exercise of the Top-Up Option will be acquired for the purpose of investment and not with a view to or for resale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
(d) In the event of any change in the number of shares of outstanding Company Common Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares, merger, consolidation, reorganization or the like or any other change in the corporate or capital structure of the Company that would have the effect of diluting Purchasers rights under the Top-Up Option, the number of Top-Up Option Shares and the Top-Up Share Price will be adjusted appropriately so as to restore to Purchaser its rights hereunder with respect to the Top-Up Option as the same exists as of the date of this Agreement.
2.4. Payment; Surrender of Certificates. (a) Parent will appoint the Companys transfer agent to act as disbursement agent (the Disbursement Agent) for the Offer.
(b) Promptly following the Acceptance Date, Parent will deposit with the Disbursement Agent, for disbursement in accordance with this Article II, cash in an amount sufficient for payment in respect of the aggregate Per Share Amount payable pursuant to Section 2.1 (collectively, the Offer Disbursement Fund). In the event that the cash in the Disbursement Fund is insufficient to satisfy fully all of the payment obligations to be made by the Disbursement Agent hereunder, Parent will promptly make available to the Disbursement Agent the amounts so required to satisfy such payment obligations in full. The Disbursement Agent will deliver the cash payments contemplated to be paid for Shares pursuant to this Agreement out of the Offer Disbursement Fund as contemplated by this Agreement. Except as contemplated by this Section 2.4, the Offer Disbursement Fund will not be used for any other purpose. Amounts of cash in the Offer Disbursement Fund will be invested by the Disbursement Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or losses thereon will affect the amounts payable to the holders of Shares. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments will be payable to Parent.
(c) Upon surrender to the Disbursement Agent of a Certificate for cancellation together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate will promptly be provided in exchange therefor cash in the amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article II, and the Certificate so surrendered will forthwith be canceled. No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to any consideration to be delivered upon surrender of Certificates.
17
(d) If any cash payment is to be made in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment pays any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting Person, or will establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Disbursement Agent that such Tax has been paid or is inapplicable.
(e) If any Certificate has 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 Parent or the Disbursement Agent to the extent in accordance with customary practice, the posting by such Person of a bond in such reasonable amount as Parent or the Disbursement Agent will direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against them with respect to such Certificate, the Disbursement Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the amount payable to the holder thereof pursuant to Article II.
(f) Each of the Disbursement Agent and Parent will be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration, or other amounts, payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Shares or any other Person such amounts as are required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under any applicable law (including any withholding provision of the Code and the treasury regulations promulgated thereunder). To the extent amounts are deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 2.4, such amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid and such amounts shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and notice thereof will be provided to the applicable holder of Shares. Any purported withholding of Taxes from payments or other deliveries made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, the amount of which was forwarded to the relevant Governmental Authority, will not be deemed a breach of this Agreement and the amount so withheld shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the Person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid, notwithstanding that withholding of Taxes might have not been required.
(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.4, none of the Disbursement Agent, Parent or any party hereto will be liable to a holder of Shares for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
2.5. Waiver of Redemption Rights of Preferred Stock. On behalf of itself and its successors in interest to the Preferred Shares, upon the Acceptance Date and its purchase of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, Purchaser waives any right to payment on the Preferred Shares under Section 3 of the Certificate of Designations in connection with the Offer, the Top-Up Option and any Change of Control (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) effected thereby. Purchaser
18
further agrees on behalf of itself and its successors in interest to the Preferred Shares that it will not have the right to redemption of the Preferred Stock under Section 8 of the Certificate of Designations until the later of (i) the first date permitted for redemption set forth in Section 8 of the Certificate of Designations and (ii) the termination date of this Agreement; provided, however, that upon the termination of this Agreement the terms of the Certificate of Designation will govern the Preferred Shares. The certificate(s) representing the Preferred Shares will bear a legend referring to the agreements of Purchaser set forth in this Section 2.5 and that such agreements will be binding upon any transferee or successor in interest to the Preferred Shares. In connection therewith, in the event the Purchaser transfers the Preferred Shares, it will first obtain an agreement from transferee in form and substance satisfactory to the Company pursuant to which the transferee agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.5.

Except as contemplated by this Section 3.8, the Merger Disbursement Fund will not be used for any other purpose. Amounts of cash in the Merger Disbursement Fund will be invested by the Disbursement Agent as directed by Parent; provided, however, that no such investment or losses thereon will affect the amounts payable to the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments will be payable to Parent.

Upon surrender to the Disbursement Agent of a Certificate for cancellation together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate will promptly be provided in exchange therefor cash in the amount to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Article III, and the Certificate so surrendered will forthwith be canceled. No interest will accrue or be paid with respect to any consideration to be delivered upon surrender of Certificates.
(c) If any cash payment is to be made in a name other than that in which the Certificate surrendered in exchange therefor is registered, it will be a condition of such payment that the Person requesting such payment pays any transfer or other similar Taxes required by reason of the making of such payment in a name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificate surrendered, or required for any other reason relating to such holder or requesting Person, or will establish to the reasonable satisfaction of the Disbursement Agent that such Tax has been paid or is inapplicable.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.8, none of the Disbursement Agent, Parent or any party hereto will be liable to a holder of shares of Company Capital Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.
3.9. Stock Awards. The Company will take the actions specified in Schedule 3.9 with respect to all options to purchase Company Common Stock granted under the Company Stock Plans (each, a Company Stock Option) and each outstanding Restricted Share Unit issued pursuant to the Company Stock Plans (each, a Company Restricted Share Unit).
3.10. Appraisal Rights. (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Company Capital Stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than the Exception Shares) and that are held by stockholders of the Company who have neither voted in favor of the Merger nor consented thereto in writing and who will have demanded properly in writing appraisal for such shares of Company Capital Stock in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL (the Dissenting Stockholders) will not be converted into, or represent the right to receive, the applicable Merger Consideration (collectively, the Dissenting Shares). Dissenting Stockholders
22
will be entitled to receive payment of the fair value of the Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL, except that all Dissenting Shares held by stockholders of the Company who fail to perfect or who effectively withdraw or lose their rights to appraisal of such shares under Section 262 of the DGCL will thereupon be deemed to have been converted into, and to have become exchangeable for, as of the Effective Time, the right to receive the applicable Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 3.7, without any interest thereon, upon surrender, in the manner provided in Section 3.8, of the Certificate or Certificates that formerly evidenced such shares of Company Capital Stock.
(b) The Company will give Parent notice as promptly as reasonably practicable upon receipt by the Company of any demand for payment pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL and of withdrawals of such notice, and Parent will have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demands.

(a) The Company and Parent will (i) duly file with the United States Federal Trade Commission (the FTC) and the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice (the DOJ) the notification and report form (the HSR Filing) required under the HSR Act and (ii) duly make all notifications and other filings required under any other applicable competition, merger control, antitrust or similar law (together with the HSR Filing, the Antitrust Filings) in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.3). The Antitrust Filings will be prepared and made in substantial compliance with the requirements of the HSR Act or other laws, as applicable. Neither Parent nor the Company will voluntarily withdraw its HSR Filing except that, upon notice to the Company, Parent may withdraw its HSR Filing in the event that counsel to Parent recommends that such action be taken to avoid a Second Request or the initiation of Agency Litigation, in which event Parent will refile its HSR Filing (and Parent will pay the fee required under the HSR Act in respect thereof) within two Business Days of its withdrawal; provided, however, that Parent may not voluntarily withdraw and refile its HSR Filing more than two times without the prior consent of the Company. Each of Parent and the Company will promptly file with any Governmental Authority other than the DOJ any other filings, reports, information and documentation required in order to complete the Transactions under any Antitrust Laws other than the HSR Act. In the
44
event that the DOJ or any other Governmental Authority requests additional information (other than pursuant to a Second Request or Agency Litigation, provision for which is made in Sections 5.3(b) and 5.3(c)), each of the Parties will respond thereto as promptly as practicable.
(b) Each of the Parties hereto will (i) furnish to each others counsel such necessary information and reasonable assistance as such other counsel may request in good faith in connection with its preparation of any filing or submission to any Governmental Authority under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws (including the HSR Filing), (ii) give the other Parties prompt notice of any so-called second request for information by the DOJ pursuant to 16 C.F.R. §§ 801, et seq. (a Second Request) or any legal or other proceeding by or before any Governmental Authority with respect to the Transactions (Agency Litigation), and respond as promptly as practicable thereto with the objective of causing the Effective Time to occur as promptly as practicable, (iii) promptly inform the other Parties of any communication with any Governmental Authority regarding any Second Request, Agency Litigation or the Transactions and keep the other Parties informed on a current basis as to the status of any such matter, (iv) consult and cooperate with each other in connection with any analysis, appearance, discussion, presentation, memorandum, brief, argument, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with any proceeding or communication relating to the Transactions, and (v) to the extent practicable, except as may be prohibited by any Governmental Authority or by any legal requirement, permit authorized representatives of the other Party to be present at each meeting or conference or telephone call with any representative of a Governmental Authority relating to any such proceeding and to have access to any document, opinion or proposal made or submitted to any Governmental Authority in connection with any such proceeding.
(c) In the event that any administrative or judicial action or proceeding (including Agency Litigation) is instituted (or threatened to be instituted) by a Governmental Authority or private party challenging the Transactions, each of the Parties will cooperate in all material respects with each other and use its respective reasonable best efforts to contest and resist any such action or proceeding and to have vacated, lifted, reversed or overturned any decree, judgment, injunction or other order, whether temporary, preliminary or permanent, that is in effect and that prohibits, prevents or restricts consummation of the Transactions or delays the Effective Time past the Termination Date (collectively, an Injunction); provided, however, that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, including in this Article V, (i) Parent will be entitled to direct the defense of any legal, administrative or judicial action or proceeding in respect of the Transactions, or negotiations with any Governmental Authority or other Person relating thereto, including in respect of any regulatory filings under applicable Antitrust Laws, (ii) the Company will not make any offer, acceptance or counter-offer to or otherwise engage in negotiations or discussions with any Governmental Authority or other Person with respect to any proposed settlement, stay, toll, extension of any waiting period, consent decree, commitment or remedy, or, in the event of litigation, discovery, admissibility of evidence, timing or scheduling, except as specifically requested by or agreed with Parent or its counsel,
45
and (iii) the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide full and effective support of Parent and its counsel in all such negotiations and discussions with representatives of any Governmental Authority or other Person to the extent requested by counsel to Parent. Each of the Parties may, as each deems advisable and necessary, reasonably designate any competitively sensitive material provided to the other pursuant to this Section 5.3 as Outside Counsel Only Material and may redact from any information provided to the other party and its counsel any references to such partys valuation of the other party.
(d) Each of the Parties hereto shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain promptly (and in any event no later than the Termination Date) any clearance required under the HSR Act and any other Antitrust Laws for the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to avoid or eliminate any impediment under any Antitrust Law, or regulation or rule, that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority, or any other Person, with respect to the Transactions so as to enable the Effective Time to occur expeditiously (and in any event no later than the Termination Date), (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to defend through Agency Litigation or, if applicable, other litigation on the merits any claim asserted in any court, administrative tribunal or hearing that the Transactions would violate any applicable law, or any regulation or rule of any Governmental Authority, in order to avoid entry of, or to have vacated or terminated, any Injunction, (iv) cause its respective inside and outside counsel to cooperate in good faith with counsel and other representatives of each other party hereto and use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate and expedite the identification and resolution of any such issues and, consequently, the expiration of the applicable HSR Act waiting period and the waiting periods under any other Antitrust Laws at the earliest practicable dates (and in any event no later than the Termination Date).
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including any covenant in this Article V, Parent and its Subsidiaries will not be required to commit to any divestiture, license, hold separate or other commitment, undertaking or arrangement, and the Company may not commit or offer to commit to any divestiture, license, hold separate or other commitment, undertaking or agreement, with respect to assets or conduct of business arrangements (whether in respect of the Company, Parent or any of their respective subsidiaries) as a condition to obtaining any approval from any Governmental Authority for any reason. For the avoidance of doubt, the covenants in this Section 5.3 will constitute the Parties sole obligations with respect to efforts to obtain approvals of Governmental Authorities.
5.4. Stockholder Approvals. (a) If required by applicable law in order to consummate the Merger, the Company, acting through the Company Board, will, in accordance with applicable law and the Companys Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold an annual or special meeting of its stockholders, as promptly as reasonably practicable following consummation of the Offer for the purpose of considering and taking action on this Agreement and the Merger (such meeting, or any adjournments or postponements thereof, the Stockholders Meeting). At the Stockholders Meeting or any postponement or
46
adjournment thereof, Parent and Purchaser will vote, or will cause, all shares of Company Capital Stock then owned by them and their respective Subsidiaries to be voted in favor of the adoption of this Agreement and to deliver or provide, in its capacity as a stockholder of the Company, any other approvals that are required pursuant to applicable law, regulations or the rules of the SEC or Nasdaq to effect the Transactions.
(b) Following the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, if applicable, Parent and Purchaser will cause the Merger to become effective as promptly as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Purchaser acquires shares of Capital Stock representing at least 90% of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the Offer and the Preferred Share Sale, exercise of the Top-Up Option or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement, the Parties will take all necessary and appropriate action to cause the Merger to become effective, in accordance with Section 253 of the DGCL, as promptly as practicable after such acquisition without a meeting of the stockholders of the Company.
5.5. Proxy Statement; Information Statement. If approval of the Companys stockholders is required by applicable law to consummate the Merger, promptly following consummation of the Offer, the Company will file the Proxy Statement with the SEC under the Exchange Act and use its reasonable best efforts to have the Proxy Statement cleared by the SEC promptly. Each of the Company, Parent and Purchaser agrees to use its reasonable best efforts, after consultation with the other Parties, to respond promptly to all comments of and requests by the SEC with respect to the Proxy Statement and to cause the Proxy Statement and all required amendments and supplements thereto to be mailed to the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock entitled to vote at the Stockholders Meeting at the earliest practicable time.
5.6. Press Releases. The initial press release announcing this Agreement will be in substantially the form previously agreed to by the Parties. Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will consult with each other before issuing any press release with respect to the Offer, the Merger or this Agreement and will not issue any such press release without the prior written consent of the other Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that a Party may, without the prior consent of the other Party (but after prior consultation, to the extent reasonably practicable in the circumstances), issue any such press release as such partys legal counsel advises is required by applicable law, securities exchange or Nasdaq rules. Parent and Purchaser, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, will cooperate to develop all public communications and make appropriate members of management available at presentations related to the Transactions as reasonably requested by the other Party.
5.7. Access to Information; Confidentiality. (a) From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable laws relating to the exchange of information, the Company will (and will cause its Subsidiaries to) afford Parent and Parents Representatives such access during normal business hours to the
47
books, records (including Tax Returns and work papers of independent auditors) and properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries as Parent may reasonably request; provided, however, that such access may not unreasonably disrupt the operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. All requests for such access will be made to such agents of the Company as the Company may designate, who will be solely responsible for coordinating all such requests and all access permitted hereunder. Neither Parent, Purchaser nor any of their respective Representatives will contact any of the employees, customers, landlords, licensors or suppliers of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions, whether in person or by telephone, mail or other means of communication, without the specific prior written authorization of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will be required to afford access or disclose information that would jeopardize attorney-client privilege, contravene any binding agreement with any third party or violate any law or regulation. The Parties will make reasonable appropriate substitute arrangements in circumstances where the previous sentence applies.
(b) Each Party and their Representatives will hold any information provided in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions confidential and any such information will be deemed to be Confidential Information under the Confidentiality Agreement, which Agreement will continue to be in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.
5.8. No Solicitation. (a) From the date hereof until the Acceptance Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company agrees that neither it nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any of their respective officers, directors or employees, will, and that it will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective other Representatives not to (and will not authorize or give permission to its and their respective Representatives to), directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, seek or knowingly encourage the making, submission or announcement of any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to any Person in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) continue or otherwise engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, (iv) except in connection with a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.8(e), approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal, or (v) except in connection with a Company Change of Recommendation pursuant to Section 5.8(e), enter into any letter of intent, arrangement, agreement or understanding relating to any Acquisition Proposal; provided, however, that this Section 5.8(a) will not prohibit (A) the Company Board or any committee thereof, directly or indirectly through any officer, employee or Representative, prior to the Acceptance Date, from furnishing nonpublic information regarding the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to, or entering into or participating in discussions or negotiations with, any Person in response to an unsolicited, bona fide Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board or any committee thereof concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor, constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a Superior Proposal if (1) the Company Board thereof concludes in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action with respect to such Acquisition Proposal
48
would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (2) such Acquisition Proposal did not result from a breach of this Section 5.8, (3) prior thereto the Company has given Parent the notice required by Section 5.8(b), and (4) the Company furnishes any nonpublic information provided to the maker of the Acquisition Proposal only pursuant to a confidentiality agreement between the Company and such Person containing customary terms and conditions that in the aggregate are not materially less restrictive than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement or (B) the Company from complying with Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act with regard to any Acquisition Proposal, including any so called stop, look and listen communications, or making any other statement or disclosure that the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure of the Company to make such statement or disclosure would reasonably be expected to be a violation of applicable law; provided that the Company Board may make a Company Change of Recommendation only in accordance with Section 5.8(e).
(b) The Company will promptly, and in no event later than 24 hours after its receipt of any Acquisition Proposal, or any request for nonpublic information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, advise Parent orally and in writing of such Acquisition Proposal or request (including providing the identity of the Person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal or request, and, (i) if it is in writing, a copy of such Acquisition Proposal and any related draft agreements and (ii) if oral, a reasonably detailed summary thereof that is made or submitted by any Person during the period between the date hereof and the Closing Date). The Company will keep Parent informed on a prompt basis with respect to any change to the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (and in no event later than 24 hours following any such change), including providing Parent with a copy of any draft agreements and modifications thereof.
(c) Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, directors and employees, and will use its reasonable best efforts to cause its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and terminate any existing activities, discussions or negotiations between the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Representatives and any Person that relate to any Acquisition Proposal and use reasonable best efforts to obtain the prompt return or destruction of any confidential information previously furnished to such Persons with respect thereto within 12 months prior to the date hereof (to the extent that the Company has the right to cause such Persons to return or destroy such confidential information under a confidentiality agreement (or other similar agreement) with such Persons).
(d) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.8(e), the Company Board (or any committee thereof) may not (i) withhold, withdraw or modify, or publicly propose to withhold, withdraw or modify, the Company Board Recommendation in a manner adverse to Parent or make any statement, filing or release, in connection with obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval or otherwise, inconsistent with the Company Board Recommendation, (ii) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal (any of the foregoing set forth in clauses (i) and (ii), a Company Change of Recommendation), or (iii) enter into a written agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal.
49
(e) The Company Board may at any time prior to the earlier of the Acceptance Date or receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval (i) effect a Company Change of Recommendation in respect of an Acquisition Proposal or (ii) if it elects to do so in connection with or following a Company Change of Recommendation, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(f) in order to enter into a definitive written agreement providing for an Acquisition Proposal, if and only if: (A) an Acquisition Proposal is made to the Company by a third party, such offer is not withdrawn and the Company has not breached this Section 5.8, (B) the Company Board or any committee thereof determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor that such offer constitutes a Superior Proposal, (C) following consultation with outside legal counsel, the Company Board or any committee thereof determines that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, (D) the Company provides Parent three Business Days prior written notice of its intention to take such action (such three-Business Day period, the Notice Period), which notice will include the information with respect to such Superior Proposal that is specified in Section 5.8(b) (it being understood that any material revision or amendment to the terms of such Superior Proposal will require a new notice and, in such case, all references to three Business Days in this Section 5.8(e) will be deemed to be two Business Days), (E) at the end of the Notice Period described in clause (D), the Company Board again makes the determination in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and a financial advisor (after negotiating in good faith with Parent and its Representatives if requested by Parent during the Notice Period regarding any adjustments or modifications to the terms of this Agreement proposed by Parent and taking into account any such adjustments or modifications) that the Acquisition Proposal continues to be a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law, and (F) the Company has paid the Company Termination Fee in accordance with Section 8.3.
(f) During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries may terminate, amend, modify or waive any provision of any confidentiality agreement to which it is a party relating to a proposed business combination involving the Company or any standstill agreement to which it is a party unless the Company Board or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law. During such period, the Company or its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, will enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the provisions of any such agreement, including by obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof in each case except to the extent that the Company Board or any committee thereof determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that taking such action would be reasonably likely to result in a breach of its fiduciary duties under applicable law.
50
5.9. Takeover Laws and Provisions. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, no Party will take any action that would cause the Transactions (a) to be subject to requirements imposed by any Takeover Law and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to exempt (or ensure the continued exemption of) such Transactions from, or if necessary challenge the validity or applicability of, any applicable Takeover Law, as now or hereafter in effect and (b) not to comply with any Takeover Provisions and each of them will take all necessary steps within its control to make such Transactions comply with (or continue to comply with) any Takeover Provisions.
5.10. No Control of the Companys Business. Nothing contained in this Agreement will give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Companys or its Subsidiaries operations prior to the Appointment Time. Prior to the Appointment Time, the Company will exercise, consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, complete control and supervision over its and its Subsidiaries respective operations.
5.11. Limitation on Transfers. From and after the date on which Parent or Purchaser acquires shares of Company Capital Stock pursuant to the terms hereof or the Shareholder Agreement through the earliest of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time, neither Parent nor Purchaser may transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of such shares of Company Capital Stock (or any rights, including voting rights, with respect to such shares of Company Capital Stock), other than to Parents financing sources in connection with Parents financing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (provided that in any event Purchaser shall retain sole power to vote such shares of Company Capital Stock).
VI. ADDITIONAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS
6.1. Indemnification. (a) The Surviving Corporation will, and Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to, fulfill and honor in all respects the obligations pursuant to any indemnification agreements between the Company or its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any current or former directors, officers and employees, as the case may be, of the Company and its Subsidiaries, on the other hand, in effect immediately prior to the date of this Agreement or, subject to the prior approval of Parent, after the date of this Agreement, and any indemnification provisions under the Company Constituent Documents or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of its Subsidiaries as in effect on the date hereof, in each case to the extent permitted by applicable law, and will not amend, repeal or otherwise modify any such provision in any manner that would adversely affect the rights of such indemnitee thereunder for any acts or omissions occurring prior to the Effective Time.
(b) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will endeavor to enter into a directors and officers liability insurance policy covering those Persons who, as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, are covered by the Companys directors and
51
officers liability insurance policy (the Insured Parties) on terms no less favorable to the Insured Parties than those of the Companys present directors and officers liability insurance policy (such policy, a Company D&O Policy), for a period of seven years after the Effective Time. If the Company is unable to obtain such a Company D&O Policy prior to the Effective Time, Parent will cause the Surviving Corporation to maintain in effect, for a period of seven years after the Closing Date, a Company D&O Policy with a creditworthy issuer; provided, however, that in no event will Parent be required to expend annually more than 250% of the annual premium currently paid by the Company for such coverage (the approximate amount of which is set forth on Section 6.1(b) of the Disclosure Schedule) and, if the cost for such coverage is in excess of such amount, Parent will be required only to maintain the maximum amount of coverage as is reasonably available for 250% of such annual premium.
(c) If Parent or the Surviving Corporation or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other entity and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its assets to any other entity, then and in each such case, Parent will, as a condition precedent to the consummation of any such transaction, cause proper provision to be made so that the successors and assigns of Parent or the Surviving Corporation will expressly assume the obligations set forth in this Section 6.1.
(d) The obligations of Parent and the Surviving Corporation under this Section 6.1 will not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee and/or Insured Party to whom this Section 6.1 applies without the express written consent of such affected indemnitee and Insured Party. It is expressly agreed that the indemnitees and/or Insured Parties to whom this Section 6.1 applies will be third party beneficiaries of this Section 6.1.
(e) The Surviving Corporation and its Subsidiaries will, and Parent will cause them to, honor, in accordance with their respective terms, each of the covenants contained herein. The rights of each indemnitee and/or Insured Party hereunder will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights such Person may have under the Company Constituent Documents or the comparable charter or organizational documents of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any other indemnification arrangement.
6.2. Employee Matters. (a) It is Parents and the Companys intention that, for a period of one year following the Effective Time, individuals who are employed by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries immediately prior to the Effective Time and continue to be employed by Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, including the Surviving Corporation, following the Effective Time (each, a Post-Merger Employee) will be provided with salaries and benefits that are in the aggregate approximately equal to the salaries and benefits (other than equity compensation) they received prior to the Effective Time, it being understood that Parent will review the salaries and benefits of its and its Subsidiaries employees from time to time in order to determine the most appropriate way to compensate and incentivize Post-Merger Employees, and accordingly may make such changes in the compensation and benefits that Parent determines to be in the best interests of Parent from time to time.
52
(b) It is Parents and the Companys intention that, each Post-Merger Employee will be given credit for all service with the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective predecessors under any employee benefit plan of Parent, the Surviving Corporation or any of their Subsidiaries, including any such plans providing vacation, sick pay, severance and retirement benefits maintained by Parent or its Subsidiaries in which such Post-Merger Employees participate for purposes of eligibility, vesting and entitlement to benefits, including for severance benefits and vacation entitlement (but not for accrual of pension benefits), to the extent past service was recognized for such Post-Merger Employees under the comparable plan immediately prior to the Effective Time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 6.2 will be construed to require crediting of service that would result in (i) duplication of benefits or (ii) service credit for benefit accruals under a defined benefit pension plan.
(c) In the event of any change in the welfare benefits provided to Post-Merger Employees following the Effective Time, it is Parents and the Companys intention that Parent will use its reasonable best efforts to cause (i) the waiver of all limitations as to pre-existing conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Post-Merger Employees (and their eligible dependents) under any welfare benefit plans in which Post-Merger Employees participate following the Effective Time, to the extent that such conditions, exclusions or waiting periods would not apply in the absence of such change, and (ii) for the plan year in which the Effective Time occurs, the crediting of each Post-Merger Employee (or his or her eligible dependents) with any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to any such change in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements after such change.
(d) Nothing in this Section 6.2, express or implied, will confer upon any Post-Merger Employee, or any legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 6.2, express or implied, will be construed to prevent Parent from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any benefit plan that Parent may establish or maintain. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.2, nothing contained in this Agreement will be treated as an amendment to any employee benefit plan or creation of an employee benefit plan.
(e) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company will take all actions necessary to cause the account balance of each participant in the Online Resources Corporation 401(k) Retirement Plan to become fully vested as of immediately prior to the Effective Time.
6.3. Board of Directors; Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act. (a) Subject to applicable law, effective upon the later to occur of the purchase by Purchaser of Shares pursuant to the Offer and the purchase of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the
53
Shareholder Agreement (the Appointment Time), a number of Purchasers designees will be elected to the Company Board as set forth in this Section 6.3. Purchaser will be entitled to designate up to such number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, on the Company Board as will give Purchaser representation on the Company Board equal to the product of the total number of directors on the Company Board (giving effect to the directors elected pursuant to this sentence) multiplied by the percentage that the aggregate number of votes represented by Shares and Preferred Shares beneficially owned by Purchaser or any Affiliate of Purchaser following such purchase bears to the total number of votes represented by Shares and Preferred Shares then outstanding, and the Company will, at such time, promptly take all actions necessary to cause Purchasers designees to be elected as directors of the Company, including securing the resignations of incumbent directors (except as set forth in the last sentence of this Section 6.3(a)). At such time, the persons designated by Purchaser will, as nearly as practicable, constitute at least the same percentage as persons designated by Purchaser will constitute of the Company Board of (i) each committee of the Company Board, (ii) each board of directors of each Subsidiary of the Company, and (iii) each committee of each such board, in each case only to the extent permitted by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, until the Effective Time or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that (A) at least a majority of the Company Board and each committee of the Company Board and such boards and committees of the Companys Subsidiaries, as of the date hereof, who are not employees of the Company remain members of the Company Board and of such boards and committees and (B) a majority of the Company Board is independent as required by the relevant rules of Nasdaq (such directors, the Continuing Directors).
(b) Subject to applicable law, the Company will promptly take all actions required pursuant to Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act and Rule 14f-1 promulgated thereunder to fulfill its obligations under this Section 6.3, and will include in the Schedule 14D-9 such information as is required under such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1 to fulfill such obligations. Parent or Purchaser will supply to the Company, and be solely responsible for, any information with respect to either of them and their nominees, officers, directors and Affiliates required by such Section 14(f) and Rule 14f-1.
(c) Following the election or appointment of Purchasers designees pursuant to Section 6.3(a) and prior to the Effective Time, any action by the Company with respect to any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of any term of this Agreement, any termination of this Agreement by the Company, any extension of time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of Parent or Purchaser under this Agreement, any waiver of compliance with any of the agreements or conditions under this Agreement that are for the benefit of the Company, any amendment to the Company Constituent Document or material modification of any Company Stock Plan, any authorization of an agreement between the Company and any of its Affiliates, on the one hand, and Parent, Purchaser or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand, any exercise of the Companys rights or remedies under this Agreement and any action to seek to enforce any obligation of Parent or Purchaser under this Agreement (or any other action by the Company Board with respect to the Transactions if such other action
54
adversely affects, or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, any of the holders of shares of Company Capital Stock other than Parent or Purchaser) may only be authorized by, and will require the authorization of, a majority of the Continuing Directors (or by the Continuing Director should there be only one). For purposes of considering any matter set forth in this Section 6.3(c), the Continuing Directors will be permitted to meet without the presence of the other directors. The Continuing Directors will have the authority to retain such counsel (which may include current counsel to the Company) and other advisors at the expense of the Company as determined by the Continuing Directors and will have the authority to institute any action on behalf of the Company to enforce performance of this Agreement or any of the Companys rights hereunder. The Company shall indemnify and advance expenses to, and Parent shall cause the Company to indemnify and advance expenses to, the Continuing Directors in connection with their service as directors of the Company to the extent permitted by the Company Constituent Documents and in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.1 hereof.
6.4. Obligations or Purchaser: Parent will take all action necessary to cause Purchaser to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Offer and the Merger on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Parent hereby guarantees the due, prompt and faithful performance and discharge by, and compliance with, all of the obligations, covenants, terms, conditions and undertakings of Purchaser under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, including any such obligations, covenants, terms, conditions and undertaking that are required to be performed, discharged or complied with following the Effective Time.
VII. CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER
7.1. Conditions to Each Partys Obligation to Effect the Merger. The respective obligation of each Party to consummate the Merger is subject to the fulfillment or written waiver by the Parties before the Effective Time of each of the following conditions:
(a) Stockholder Approval. If and to the extent required by the DGCL, this Agreement, the Merger and the other Transactions shall have been approved and adopted by the affirmative vote of holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Company Capital Stock;
(b) No Order. No Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any law, rule, regulation, injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that is then in effect and has the effect of making the acquisition of shares of Company Capital Stock by Parent or Purchaser or any Affiliate of either of them illegal or otherwise restricting, preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Transactions; and
(c) Purchase of Shares. The Acceptance Date shall have occurred and Purchaser shall have accepted for payment and paid for Shares (in each case to the extent validly tendered and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Offer.

(a) By mutual written consent of each of Parent and the Company, notwithstanding any adoption of this Agreement by the stockholders of the Company;
(b) By either Parent or the Company if any Governmental Authority shall have enacted, issued, promulgated, enforced or entered any injunction, order, decree or ruling (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that has become final and nonappealable and has the effect of making consummation of the Offer or the Merger illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting consummation of the Offer or the Merger; provided that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement shall have used its reasonable best efforts to remove or lift such injunction, order, decree or ruling;

provided, however, that from and after the Acceptance Date, then none of Parent, Purchaser or the Company may terminate this Agreement or abandon the Merger pursuant to Sections 8.1(c) through 8.1(h).
8.2. Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination. A Party desiring to terminate this Agreement must give written notice of such termination to the other Party, specifying the provision pursuant to which such termination is effective. In the event of the termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 8.1, this Agreement will be of no further force and effect, except (i) each of Section 8.1, this Section 8.2, Section 8.3 and Article IX will survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) nothing herein will relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement that was committed intentionally by the breaching party or resulted from the breaching partys gross negligence. No termination of this Agreement will affect the obligations of the Parties contained in the Confidentiality Agreement, all of which obligations will survive termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
8.3. Fees and Expenses. (a) Other than as specifically provided in this Section 8.3 or otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties hereto, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions will be paid by the Party incurring such costs or expenses, whether or not the Merger is consummated.
(b) The Company will pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee if this Agreement is terminated as follows:
(i) the Company will pay to Parent the entire Company Termination Fee within five Business Days following termination pursuant to Section 8.1(g), or

57
Company or the Board (or any Person shall have publicly announced or communicated a bona fide intention, whether or not conditional, to make an Acquisition Proposal) at any time prior to the date of termination, and (C) if within nine months after the date of such termination, the Company enters into a definitive agreement to consummate, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal, then (upon the satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in clauses (A) through (C) of this Section 8.3(b)(ii)), the Company will pay to Parent the Company Termination Fee prior to entering into any definitive agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal in accordance with Section 8.1(f) or simultaneously with the Company entering into such definitive agreement, or, if applicable, consummating such transaction; provided, however, that for purposes of this Section 8.3(b)(ii), (y) the references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to 10% will instead be deemed to refer to a majority and (z) references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to a merger, consolidation, other business combination, reorganization, recapitalization, dissolution, liquidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall reference only such a transaction involving the Company pursuant to which the Company stockholders immediately preceding such transaction hold securities representing less than a majority of the total outstanding voting power of the surviving or resulting entity in such transaction.
(c) All amounts paid pursuant to this Section 8.3 will be by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account directed by the Party hereto entitled to payment. Each Party hereto agrees that the agreements contained in this Section 8.3 are an integral part of the Transactions, and that, without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement; accordingly, if any Party fails promptly to pay any amounts due under this Section 8.3 and, in order to obtain such payment, the other Party commences a suit that results in a judgment against the Party failing to pay for such amounts, then the Party failing to pay such amounts will pay interest on such amounts from the date payment of such amounts was due to the date of actual payment at the prime rate of the Citibank, N.A. in effect on the date such payment was due, together with the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Party seeking collection (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) in connection with such suit.
(d) The payment of the Company Termination Fee, if paid under the circumstances in which the Company Termination Fee is payable under Section 8.3(b), will be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent and Purchaser against the Company and its Affiliates in respect of any claims arising from, or in connection with, the termination of this Agreement under such circumstances; provided, however, the payment of the Company Termination Fee will not relieve any Party from liability for breach of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement or Parents rights under Section 9.5 arising from any such breach.

The Company also agrees to indemnify and hold each Indemnified Person harmless against any and all actions, suits, penalties, expenses, losses, claims, damages or liabilities of any kind or nature (including reasonable legal expenses), joint or several, to any such person in connection with or as a result of either this arrangement or any matter referred to in the Letters, including the use or contemplated use of proceeds (whether or not such investigation, litigation, claim or proceeding is brought by you, your equity holders or creditors or an Indemnified Person and whether or not any such Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated), except with respect to each Indemnified Person to the extent that such action, suit, penalty, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability has been found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person, in performing the services that are the subject of the Letters. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold such Indemnified Person harmless, then the Company will contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such action, suit, penalty, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative economic interests of (i) the Company and the Acquired Business and their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders on the one hand and (ii) such Indemnified Person, respectively, on the other hand in the matters contemplated by the Letters as well as the relative fault of (A) the Company and the Acquired Business and their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners, members or other equity holders on the one hand and (B) such Indemnified Person, with respect to such action, suit, penalty, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability and any other relevant equitable considerations.

Transactions
The Company intends to acquire the Acquired Business, pursuant to (i) the purchase by BidCo (as defined below) of all of the Targets Series A-1 convertible preferred stock (collectively, the Preferred Shares) from the holder thereof at a cash price equal to the Series A-1 Preference Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights for the Preferred Shares filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on July 3, 2006) immediately following the purchase of Shares (as defined below) tendered to, and accepted by, BidCo pursuant to the Tender Offer (as defined below) on the Tender Offer Closing Date (as defined below) pursuant to a shareholder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger (the Shareholder Agreement) and (ii) a cash tender offer (the Tender Offer) by a newly-formed special purpose vehicle that is a wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Company (BidCo) to purchase all of the outstanding common stock of the Target (the Shares), including any Shares that may become outstanding upon the exercise of options or other rights to acquire Shares after the commencement of the Tender Offer but before the Tender Offer Closing Date (as defined below), which Tender Offer shall be conditioned upon, inter alia, the stockholders of the Target having validly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration date of the Tender Offer (as the same may be extended in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer), at least that number of Shares that, together with the Preferred Shares to be acquired by the BidCo pursuant to the Shareholder Agreement, constitute a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Target that, on a fully diluted basis, are entitled to vote in connection with any required shareholder vote with respect to the Acquisition. The date on which the Shares are initially accepted for payment under the Tender Offer is referred to as the Tender Offer Closing Date. If the Tender Offer Closing Date occurs, as soon as practicable thereafter, the Company intends to cause BidCo to merge (the Merger) with and into the Target, with the Target surviving such Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and in furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and BidCo shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all corporate, stockholder and other action necessary to cause the Merger to occur, including, without limitation, the completion of the purchase of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the Shareholder Agreement. As used herein, Merger Closing Date shall mean the date of the consummation of the Merger. The Merger shall be consummated pursuant to a transaction agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger (the Acquisition Agreement) among Company, BidCo and the Target. In connection with the Tender Offer, if the stockholders of the Target that constitute a sufficient percentage of the then-outstanding shares (when aggregated with the percentage of the then-outstanding shares consisting of the Preferred Shares purchased by BidCo pursuant to the Acquisition Documents) necessary to complete a short-form merger under Delaware state law shall have validly tendered and not withdrawn their shares as of the Tender Offer Closing Date, the Merger shall be consummated substantially concurrently with the initial funding (or release from escrow) of the Incremental Term Loan or the New Credit Facilities, as applicable. Otherwise, the Merger shall occur after the New Closing Date substantially concurrently with the final release of funds from the Incremental Term Loan Escrow Account (as defined in Annex C-1) or the New Credit Facilities Escrow Account (as defined in Annex C-2), as applicable.
In connection with the Acquisition, (i) the Company shall obtain the Incremental Term Loan or the New Credit Facilities, as applicable, in order to finance the consideration for the Acquisition, including, without limitation, the purchase of the Preferred Shares (such consideration, the Acquisition Consideration), which consideration shall not exceed $275 million (such amount, the Maximum Consideration), (ii) (A) all indebtedness of the Acquired Business shall be repaid in full (and all commitments thereunder terminated and security interests released) and (B) solely to the extent that the New Credit Facilities are effected, all indebtedness outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement shall be repaid in full on the New Closing Date (and all commitments thereunder terminated and security

The Arranger shall be satisfied that the Borrower has complied with the following other closing conditions: (i) the delivery of legal opinions, corporate records and documents from public officials, lien searches and officers certificates reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger; (ii) confirmation (including customary payoff letters) reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger of (A) repayment in full of all outstanding indebtedness of the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement, (B) termination of the Existing Credit Agreement and all commitments relating thereto, and (C) termination or release of all liens or security interests relating thereto, in each case on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger (iii) evidence of authority; (iv) obtaining approval of the Board of Directors of the Acquired Business and material third party and governmental consents necessary in connection with the New Credit Facilities; (v) subject to the Limited Conditionality Provision, delivery of possessory collateral and financing statements sufficient when properly filed to perfect liens and pledges on the collateral securing the New Credit Facilities; (vi) evidence of insurance; and (vii) delivery of a solvency certificate from the chief financial officer of the Borrower and each Guarantor in form and substance, and with supporting documentation, reasonably satisfactory to the Arranger.

III. TRANSFER OF THE SHARES
3.1 Transfer of the Shares. During the term of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, the Stockholder will not (a) tender into any tender or exchange offer or otherwise sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or offer to do any of the foregoing or encumber with any Lien, any of the Shares, (b) acquire any Common Shares or other securities of the Company (otherwise than in connection with a transaction of the type described in Section 3.2), (c) deposit the Shares into a voting trust, enter into any other voting or support agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, or (d) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of any interest in or the voting of any Common Shares, Preferred Shares or any other securities of the Company.

(a) In the event (i) of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company on, of or affecting the Shares or the like or any other action that would have the effect of changing the Stockholders ownership of Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other securities of the Company or (ii) the Stockholder becomes the beneficial owner of any additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other securities of the Company, then the terms of this Agreement will apply to the shares of capital stock held by the Stockholder immediately following the effectiveness of the events described in clause (i) or the Stockholder becoming the beneficial owner thereof as described in clause (ii) as though they were Shares hereunder.
(b) The Stockholder hereby agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any new Common Shares and Preferred Shares acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof.
3
IV. COVENANTS
4.1 Tender of Common Shares; Purchase of Preferred Shares. (a) The Stockholder will validly tender (or cause the record owner of such Common Shares to validly tender) and sell (and not withdraw) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer not later than the fifteenth Business Day after commencement of the Offer all of the Stockholders Shares that are Common Shares. In the event, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 4.1(a), that any of such Common Shares are for any reason withdrawn from the Offer or are not purchased pursuant to the Offer, such Common Shares will remain subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that Purchasers obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Common Shares in the Offer is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Offer.
(b) Purchase of Preferred Shares. Subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Date, on the Payment Date, Purchaser will purchase the Stockholders Shares that are Preferred Shares for a price per share in cash equal to the Series A-1 Preference Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) calculated as of the day immediately preceding the Payment Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Payment Date means the date on which Purchaser commences payment for Common Shares purchased in the Offer. Within five Business Days of the date of commencement of the Offer, the Stockholder will deliver to Purchaser certificates to be held in escrow that represent such Preferred Shares, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock power, and a letter of transmittal substantially in the form used in the Offer (with such modifications as may be reasonably specified by Purchaser to effect the transfer to Purchaser of the Preferred Shares, and not Common Shares in the Offer). Such certificates and other documents will be held by Purchaser in escrow for the benefit of the Stockholder, provided, however, that, solely in the event that Purchaser accepts the Common Shares tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, such certificates for the Preferred Shares and other documents will, without further action, be deemed irrevocably delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser will have purchased the Preferred Shares and the Stockholders sole right will be to receive the Series A-1 Preference Amount as herein provided, which amount Purchaser will pay on the Payment Date by bank wire transfer in New York Clearing House funds to the account of the Stockholder specified on the signature page hereto. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Purchaser will promptly, and no later than two Business Days after such termination date, deliver to the Stockholder all certificates for the Preferred Shares and other documents that the Stockholder delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.1(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in Section 4.2, any certificates for Preferred Shares and other documents delivered by the Stockholder to the Purchaser to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1(b) will not grant any investment, voting or other rights whatsoever in such Preferred Shares unless and until the Purchaser accepts the Common Shares tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer.
4
4.2 Support. The Stockholder, by this Agreement, does hereby constitute and appoint Parent and Purchaser, or any nominee thereof, with full power of substitution, during and for the term of this Agreement, as its true and lawful attorney and proxy for and in its name, place and stead, to vote all the Shares that the Stockholder beneficially owns at the time of such vote, at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Company (and this appointment will include the right to sign his name (as Stockholder) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to the Company that the laws of the State of Delaware may require or permit) (a) in favor of adoption of the Transaction Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (b) against (x) any Acquisition Proposal and (y) any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of the Company under the Transaction Agreement. This proxy and power of attorney is a proxy and power coupled with an interest, and the Stockholder declares that it is irrevocable during and for the term of this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby revokes all and any other proxies with respect to the Shares that he may have heretofore made or granted. For Shares as to which the Stockholder is the beneficial but not the record owner, the Stockholder will use his reasonable best efforts to cause the record owner of any such Shares to grant to Parent and Purchaser a proxy to the same effect as that contained herein.
4.3 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other holder of Shares, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters rights or any similar rights relating to the Merger that Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any Shares owned by the Stockholder.
4.4 Stockholder Capacity. The Stockholder enters into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record and beneficial owner of the Shares. Nothing contained in this Agreement will limit the rights and obligations of the Stockholder, any affiliates, directors, officers or other representatives of the Stockholder in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and the agreements set forth herein will in no way restrict any director or officer of the Company in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company.
V. TERMINATION
This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will terminate, and no party will have any rights or obligations hereunder and this Agreement will become null and void on, and have no further effect as of the date upon which the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated; provided that, in the event of termination, the provisions set forth in Section 6.1 and Article VII will survive termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Article V will relieve any party from any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.
5
VI. COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
6.1 Expenses. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein and without limitation of any rights that a party hereto may have with respect to expense reimbursement from any third party that is not a party hereto, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.
6.2 Redemption. During the term of this Agreement, the Stockholder will not require the Company to redeem all, of any part of, the Preferred Shares pursuant to Article First, Section 8 of the Certificate of Designations.
6.3 Disclosure. The Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent, Purchaser and the Company to disclose in the Offer Documents and in the Companys Proxy Statement such information as Parent or the Company determines is required by law as relates to this Agreement. The Stockholder and its counsel will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such information in the Offer Documents and in the Companys Proxy Statement prior to their filing with the SEC and Parent and Purchaser will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Stockholder and its counsel. Parent and Purchaser will (i) provide the Stockholder and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a description of any oral comments) received by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to such information in the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, (ii) consult with the Stockholder (and give the Stockholder and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review) regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto, and Parent and Purchaser will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Stockholder and its counsel, and (iii) provide the Stockholder and its counsel with copies of any written comments or responses thereto. Parent and Purchaser will endeavor in good faith to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents.
6.4 No Solicitation. The Stockholder will comply with the provisions of Sections 5.8(a), (b) and (c) of the Transaction Agreement to the same extent as applicable to the Company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit any partner, member, director, officer, employee, trustee or affiliates of the Stockholder who is or becomes during the term of this Agreement an officer or director of the Company from taking, or refraining from taking, any action that such officer or director, as applicable, that is permitted by Section 5.8 of the Transaction Agreement or is otherwise permitted by the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement or that such person determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel would, if not so taken or omitted to be taken, be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with such officers or directors fiduciary duties under applicable law. If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Stockholder receives a proposal with respect to the sale of the Shares in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, then the Stockholder will promptly inform Parent of the identity of the person making, and the material terms of, such proposal in the manner set forth in Section 5.8 of the Transaction Agreement.
6
6.5 Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

The Stockholder will not issue any press release or other public disclosure with respect to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, but may make disclosure required by applicable law if the Stockholder gives Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure and considers such comments in good faith. Parent and Purchaser will not issue any press release or other written public disclosure with respect to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Stockholder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may make such written disclosure if Parent and Purchaser believe in good faith it to be accurate and complete in all material respects; provided that, if practicable under the circumstances, Parent and Purchaser will give the Stockholder and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such written disclosure and consider such comments in good faith.

7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements among the parties hereto with respect to such matters.

7.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

SHAREHOLDER AGREEMENT
This Shareholder Agreement, dated January 30, 2013 (this Agreement), is by and among ACI Worldwide, Inc., a Delaware corporation (Parent), Ocelot Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (Purchaser), and Special Value Expansion Fund, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the Stockholder). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Transaction Agreement (as defined below).
A. Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the number of shares of common stock (Common Shares) of Online Resources Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the Company), and Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the Preferred Shares, and all such Common Shares and Preferred Shares being hereinafter referred to as the Shares), as set forth on Annex A hereto;
B. Parent, Purchaser and the Company propose to enter into a Transaction Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended from time to time, the Transaction Agreement), providing, among other things, for Purchaser to commence a tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding Common Shares (the Offer) and that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions therein, Purchaser will merge with and into the Company (the Merger); and
C. As a condition to the willingness of Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Transaction Agreement, Parent and Purchaser have requested that the Stockholder agree, and in order to induce Parent and Purchaser to enter into the Transaction Agreement, the Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
I. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE STOCKHOLDER
The Stockholder represents and warrants to Parent and Purchaser as follows:
1.1 The Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), which meaning will apply to all uses of the term beneficial owner (or any variation thereof) contained in this Agreement) of, and has good title to, the Shares set forth on Annex A, free and clear of any Liens (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of the Shares), except any (a) Liens that as of the date hereof do not restrict or impair the ability of the Stockholder to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and that as of the Acceptance Date will not be Liens on the Shares or (b) Liens resulting from this Agreement.
1.2 The Shares constitute all of the securities (as defined in Section 3(10) of the Exchange Act, which definition will apply to all uses of the term securities contained in this Agreement) of the Company owned of record or beneficially, directly or indirectly, by the Stockholder (excluding any securities beneficially owned by any of the Stockholders affiliates or associates (as such terms are defined in Rule 12b-2 under the
Exchange Act, which definitions will apply to all uses of the terms affiliates and associates, respectively, contained in this Agreement) as to which the Stockholder does not have voting or investment power).
1.3 Except for the Shares, the Stockholder does not, directly or indirectly, own beneficially or of record or have any option, warrant or other right to acquire any securities of the Company that are or may by their terms become entitled to vote or any securities that are convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for any securities of the Company that are or may by their terms become entitled to vote, nor is the Stockholder subject to any contract, commitment, arrangement, understanding or relationship (whether or not legally enforceable), other than this Agreement, that obligates him to vote or acquire any securities of the Company. The Stockholder holds exclusive power to vote the Shares and has not granted a proxy or other right to any other Person to vote the Shares, subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement.
1.4 The Stockholder has the requisite legal power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Stockholder has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement is the Stockholders valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and by general equitable principles.
1.5 No consents or approvals of, or filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or with any third party are required to be made or obtained by the Stockholder in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Stockholder of this Agreement, except for filings with the SEC or stock exchange required disclosures as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
1.6 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not and will not constitute a violation of any law, rule or regulation, any judgment, decree or order or any contract or other obligation to which the Stockholder or any of the Stockholders properties is subject or bound.
II. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PARENT AND PURCHASER
Parent and Purchaser represent and warrant to the Stockholder as follows:
2.1 Each of Parent and Purchaser has the requisite legal power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each of Parent and Purchaser has duly authorized, executed and delivered this Agreement. This Agreement is each of Parents and Purchasers valid and legally binding obligation, enforceable against each of them in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar law affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally and by general equitable principles.
2
2.2 No consents or approvals of, or filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or with any third party are required to be made or obtained by either Parent or Purchaser in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by Parent and Purchaser of this Agreement, except for filings with the SEC or stock exchange required disclosures as may be required in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
2.3 The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Parent and Purchaser does not and will not constitute a violation of any law, rule or regulation, any judgment, decree or order or any contract or other obligation to which Parent or Purchaser or any of their properties is subject or bound.
III. TRANSFER OF THE SHARES
3.1 Transfer of the Shares. During the term of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein, the Stockholder will not (a) tender into any tender or exchange offer or otherwise sell, transfer, pledge, assign or otherwise dispose of, or offer to do any of the foregoing or encumber with any Lien, any of the Shares, (b) acquire any Common Shares or other securities of the Company (otherwise than in connection with a transaction of the type described in Section 3.2), (c) deposit the Shares into a voting trust, enter into any other voting or support agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares or grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, or (d) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect acquisition or sale, transfer, pledge, assignment or other disposition of any interest in or the voting of any Common Shares, Preferred Shares or any other securities of the Company.
3.2 Adjustments. (a) In the event (i) of any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of capital stock or other securities of the Company on, of or affecting the Shares or the like or any other action that would have the effect of changing the Stockholders ownership of Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other securities of the Company or (ii) the Stockholder becomes the beneficial owner of any additional Common Shares, Preferred Shares or other securities of the Company, then the terms of this Agreement will apply to the shares of capital stock held by the Stockholder immediately following the effectiveness of the events described in clause (i) or the Stockholder becoming the beneficial owner thereof as described in clause (ii) as though they were Shares hereunder.
(b) The Stockholder hereby agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify Parent of the number of any new Common Shares and Preferred Shares acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof.
3
IV. COVENANTS
4.1 Tender of Common Shares; Purchase of Preferred Shares. (a) The Stockholder will validly tender (or cause the record owner of such Common Shares to validly tender) and sell (and not withdraw) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer not later than the fifteenth Business Day after commencement of the Offer all of the Stockholders Shares that are Common Shares. In the event, notwithstanding the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 4.1(a), that any of such Common Shares are for any reason withdrawn from the Offer or are not purchased pursuant to the Offer, such Common Shares will remain subject to the terms of this Agreement. The Stockholder acknowledges that Purchasers obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Common Shares in the Offer is subject to all the terms and conditions of the Offer.
(b) Purchase of Preferred Shares. Subject to the occurrence of the Acceptance Date, on the Payment Date, Purchaser will purchase the Stockholders Shares that are Preferred Shares for a price per share in cash equal to the Series A-1 Preference Amount (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) calculated as of the day immediately preceding the Payment Date. For purposes of this Agreement, the Payment Date means the date on which Purchaser commences payment for Common Shares purchased in the Offer. Within five Business Days of the date of commencement of the Offer, the Stockholder will deliver to Purchaser certificates to be held in escrow that represent such Preferred Shares, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a duly executed stock power, and a letter of transmittal substantially in the form used in the Offer (with such modifications as may be reasonably specified by Purchaser to effect the transfer to Purchaser of the Preferred Shares, and not Common Shares in the Offer). Such certificates and other documents will be held by Purchaser in escrow for the benefit of the Stockholder, provided, however, that, solely in the event that Purchaser accepts the Common Shares tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer, such certificates for the Preferred Shares and other documents will, without further action, be deemed irrevocably delivered to Purchaser, Purchaser will have purchased the Preferred Shares and the Stockholders sole right will be to receive the Series A-1 Preference Amount as herein provided, which amount Purchaser will pay on the Payment Date by bank wire transfer in New York Clearing House funds to the account of the Stockholder specified on the signature page hereto. In the event that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Purchaser will promptly, and no later than two Business Days after such termination date, deliver to the Stockholder all certificates for the Preferred Shares and other documents that the Stockholder delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4.1(b). For the avoidance of doubt, Parent and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in Section 4.2, any certificates for Preferred Shares and other documents delivered by the Stockholder to the Purchaser to be held in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1(b) will not grant any investment, voting or other rights whatsoever in such Preferred Shares unless and until the Purchaser accepts the Common Shares tendered pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer.
4
4.2 Support. The Stockholder, by this Agreement, does hereby constitute and appoint Parent and Purchaser, or any nominee thereof, with full power of substitution, during and for the term of this Agreement, as its true and lawful attorney and proxy for and in its name, place and stead, to vote all the Shares that the Stockholder beneficially owns at the time of such vote, at any annual, special or adjourned meeting of the stockholders of the Company (and this appointment will include the right to sign his name (as Stockholder) to any consent, certificate or other document relating to the Company that the laws of the State of Delaware may require or permit) (a) in favor of adoption of the Transaction Agreement and approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby and (b) against (x) any Acquisition Proposal and (y) any action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of the Company under the Transaction Agreement. This proxy and power of attorney is a proxy and power coupled with an interest, and the Stockholder declares that it is irrevocable during and for the term of this Agreement. The Stockholder hereby revokes all and any other proxies with respect to the Shares that he may have heretofore made or granted. For Shares as to which the Stockholder is the beneficial but not the record owner, the Stockholder will use his reasonable best efforts to cause the record owner of any such Shares to grant to Parent and Purchaser a proxy to the same effect as that contained herein.
4.3 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other holder of Shares, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters rights or any similar rights relating to the Merger that Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any Shares owned by the Stockholder.
4.4 Stockholder Capacity. The Stockholder enters into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record and beneficial owner of the Shares. Nothing contained in this Agreement will limit the rights and obligations of the Stockholder, any affiliates, directors, officers or other representatives of the Stockholder in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company, and the agreements set forth herein will in no way restrict any director or officer of the Company in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director or officer of the Company.
V. TERMINATION
This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will terminate, and no party will have any rights or obligations hereunder and this Agreement will become null and void on, and have no further effect as of the date upon which the Transaction Agreement is validly terminated; provided that, in the event of termination, the provisions set forth in Section 6.1 and Article VII will survive termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this Article V will relieve any party from any liability for any breach of this Agreement prior to its termination.
5
VI. COVENANTS OF THE PARTIES
6.1 Expenses. Except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein and without limitation of any rights that a party hereto may have with respect to expense reimbursement from any third party that is not a party hereto, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be paid by the party incurring such expenses, whether or not the Offer or the Merger is consummated.
6.2 Redemption. During the term of this Agreement, the Stockholder will not require the Company to redeem all, of any part of, the Preferred Shares pursuant to Article First, Section 8 of the Certificate of Designations.
6.3 Disclosure. The Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent, Purchaser and the Company to disclose in the Offer Documents and in the Companys Proxy Statement such information as Parent or the Company determines is required by law as relates to this Agreement. The Stockholder and its counsel will be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such information in the Offer Documents and in the Companys Proxy Statement prior to their filing with the SEC and Parent and Purchaser will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Stockholder and its counsel. Parent and Purchaser will (i) provide the Stockholder and its counsel with a copy of any written comments (or a description of any oral comments) received by Parent, Purchaser or their counsel from the SEC or its staff with respect to such information in the Offer Documents promptly after receipt of such comments, (ii) consult with the Stockholder (and give the Stockholder and its counsel reasonable opportunity to review) regarding any such comments prior to responding thereto, and Parent and Purchaser will consider in good faith all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested thereto by the Stockholder and its counsel, and (iii) provide the Stockholder and its counsel with copies of any written comments or responses thereto. Parent and Purchaser will endeavor in good faith to respond promptly to any comments of the SEC or its staff with respect to the Offer Documents.
6.4 No Solicitation. The Stockholder will comply with the provisions of Sections 5.8(a), (b) and (c) of the Transaction Agreement to the same extent as applicable to the Company. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Agreement will prohibit any partner, member, director, officer, employee, trustee or affiliates of the Stockholder who is or becomes during the term of this Agreement an officer or director of the Company from taking, or refraining from taking, any action that such officer or director, as applicable, that is permitted by Section 5.8 of the Transaction Agreement or is otherwise permitted by the terms and conditions of the Transaction Agreement or that such person determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel would, if not so taken or omitted to be taken, be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with such officers or directors fiduciary duties under applicable law. If, prior to the termination of this Agreement, the Stockholder receives a proposal with respect to the sale of the Shares in connection with an Acquisition Proposal, then the Stockholder will promptly inform Parent of the identity of the person making, and the material terms of, such proposal in the manner set forth in Section 5.8 of the Transaction Agreement.
6
6.5 Further Assurances. Each party hereto will execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and take all such further action as may be necessary in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
6.6 Press Releases. The Stockholder will not issue any press release or other public disclosure with respect to this Agreement without the prior written consent of Parent, but may make disclosure required by applicable law if the Stockholder gives Parent and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on such disclosure and considers such comments in good faith. Parent and Purchaser will not issue any press release or other written public disclosure with respect to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Stockholder, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may make such written disclosure if Parent and Purchaser believe in good faith it to be accurate and complete in all material respects; provided that, if practicable under the circumstances, Parent and Purchaser will give the Stockholder and its counsel a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on any such written disclosure and consider such comments in good faith.
VII. MISCELLANEOUS.
7.1 Survival. All representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein will survive the consummation of the Offer or the Merger.
7.2 Waiver; Amendment. Any provision of this Agreement may be (a) waived by the party benefited by the provision, but only in writing, or (b) amended or modified at any time, but only by a written agreement executed in the same manner as this Agreement, except to the extent that any such amendment would violate applicable law.
7.3 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements among the parties hereto with respect to such matters.
7.4 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all disputes between the parties under or relating to this Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its execution and delivery, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to conflict of laws principles that would result in the application of the law of any other State. The Delaware Court of Chancery (and if the Delaware Court of Chancery will be unavailable, any Delaware state court and the Federal court of the United States of America sitting in the State of Delaware) will have exclusive jurisdiction over any and all disputes among the parties hereto, whether at law or in equity, based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the facts and circumstances leading to its execution and delivery, whether in contract, tort or otherwise. Each of the parties irrevocably consents to and agrees to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of
7
the State of Delaware, and hereby waives, and agrees not to assert in any such dispute, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim that (a) such party is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of such courts, (b) such party and such partys property is immune from any legal process issued by such courts or (c) any litigation commenced in such courts is brought in an inconvenient forum.
7.5 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND WHETHER MADE BY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 7.5.
7.6 Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. Each party agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by any other party of any covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement, the non-breaching party will be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it whether in law or equity, including monetary damages) to seek (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. Each party further agrees that no other party or any other Person will be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or other form of security in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 7.6, and each party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or other form of security.

For Shares as to which the Stockholder is the beneficial but not the record owner, the Stockholder will use his reasonable best efforts to cause the record owner of any such Shares to grant to Parent and Purchaser a proxy to the same effect as that contained herein.
4.3 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to exercise or assert, on its own behalf or on behalf of any other holder of Shares, any rights of appraisal, any dissenters rights or any similar rights relating to the Merger that Stockholder may have by virtue of, or with respect to, any Shares owned by the Stockholder.

The integration of ACI Worldwide and Online Resources will make available to financial institutions the preeminent online and mobile banking, bill payment and presentment solutions. ACI Worldwide is recognized as the leader in the U.S. Large Bank Market for 2012 and a Company to Watch in 2013 by Aite Group. The addition of Online Resources payment and presentment capabilities will benefit customers by giving them the choice and flexibility to address a broader set of needs from a single integrated source.
The acquisition would also broaden ACI Worldwides customer base with the addition of 1,000 banks, credit unions, billers, credit card issuers, and other credit and payment service providers.
Built on our heritage of producing highly reliable and trusted solutions, ACI Worldwides mission is to deliver universal payment solutions that provide control, choice and flexibility to our customers while maintaining their peace of mind, said Philip Heasley, President and CEO of ACI Worldwide.

The acquisition strengthens ACI Worldwides leadership in the online channel with the addition of complementary online banking and full-service bill payment solutions for financial institutions and billers. The pro forma financial implications of the transaction are compelling. ACI Worldwide anticipates that with Online Resources it will achieve annual cost synergies of approximately $19.5 million. The transaction is expected to be accretive to full year non-GAAP earnings in 2013.
For the last twelve months ending September 30, 2012, the companies combined generated pro forma revenue of approximately $860 million and adjusted EBITDA of $182 million.

PRESENTATION
Operator
Good morning. My name is Tiffany and I will be your conference operator today. At this time I would like to welcome everyone to the ACI Worldwide investor call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the speakers remarks there will be a question-and-answer session. (Operator Instructions) Thank you.
John Kraft, you may begin your conference.
John Kraft - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - VP IR & Strategic Analysis
Thank you, Tiffany, and good morning, everyone. Im John Kraft, Vice President of Investor Relations and Strategy of ACI Worldwide. On this mornings call is Phil Heasley, our CEO, and Scott Behrens, our CFO.
I would first like to remind everybody that this announcement includes forward-looking statements, including statements about our beliefs and expectations regarding the proposed transaction between ACI Worldwide and Online Resources, the potential benefits of any such transaction, and that actual results could differ materially. You can find the full text of our forward-looking statements and cautionary Safe Harbor language at the beginning of todays slide presentation, which is available on our website, www.ACIWorldwide.com, and will also be filed with the SEC later today.
With that I now would like to turn the call over to Phil Heasley, ACIs Chief Executive Officer. Phil?
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Thanks, John, and good morning, everyone. As you have likely seen this morning, we announced our intent to acquire Online Resources Corporation.
I will begin todays presentation with a discussion and overview of our offer and strategic rationale to acquire Online Resources. I will then turn the call over to Scott, our CFO, who will present the Online Resources financial overview and combined financial profile. We will then be glad to open up the call for your questions.

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
Slide 3 provides an overview of the transaction. Under the terms of our transaction agreement, ACI would acquire Online Resources for a per-share consideration of the $3.85 in cash. This offer represents a premium of approximately 55% over Online Resources 90-day weighted average price, approximately 27% over the 52-week high, and a premium of approximately 31% over Online Resources enterprise value.
From a valuation perspective, this offer represents approximately 8 times the midpoint of Online Resources 2012 guidance for adjusted EBITDA before synergies, or approximately 5 times after adjusting for cost synergies. This transaction is subject to customary closing conditions including regulatory approval, the tender of the majority of common Online Resources shares outstanding.
Importantly this transaction is not contingent upon financing, as we have received a financing commitment from Wells Fargo Bank. In addition, we have secured support from Online Resources largest shareholder. We anticipate that this transaction would close in the first quarter.
Turning to slide 4, I would now like to spend a few minutes talking about the rationale behind the transaction and detailing the numerous benefits inherent in a combined ACI Worldwide and Online Resources. The acquisition of Online Resources is something we have been evaluating in-depth over the last year, and its clearly aligned with ACIs internal five-year strategic planning goals.
When we considered the rationale for this combination, we concluded that there was a compelling opportunity to enhance our role as a global provider of enterprise payment software. The complementary nature of Online Resources bill payment technologies creates an undeniable opportunity to enhance our full-service suite of payment software.
Specifically, the acquisition of Online Resources expands our product suite and provides us entry into the fast-growing and underpenetrated biller-focused electronic bill presentment and payment market. The Online Resources full-service bill payment solutions for billers include user interfaces, a biller warehouse, remittance processing, electronic lockbox, customer refunds, and customer self-service debt repayment. This business is growing in the upper teens, which is about twice the market.
Secondly, Online Resources provides us with a full range of online banking solutions for financial institutions including account presentment, online bill presentment and payment, remittance processing, online account opening, telephone banking, and marketing. This builds upon our existing business catering to banks and credit unions.
Importantly, Online Resources suite includes an extremely strategic bill payment engine which can easily be integrated into our online banking products. Online Resources has built one of the largest biller networks, with over 9,000 biller connections. These direct [on us] connections provide us with very low remittance costs that can be leveraged for cost efficiency, as well as innovation across our wider customer base.
Slides 5 and 6 show this geographically. Turning to slide 5, over the past few years we have been building out our business architecture, allowing our products to be better integrated, giving our customer choices, control, and flexibility.
Slide 6 depicts our growing business in the online channel. With the acquisition of Online Resources we are adding strategic bill payment and presentment capabilities to our suite of products.
As many investors in our industry know, ACI has a preeminent brand and a strong global position, particularly in our financial institution payment product family. Online Resources approximately 90% recurring revenue will contribute nicely to our growing hosting business. And with the combined revenue base of over $850 million, this accretive transaction will further solidify our market-leading position in payments.
That concludes my prepared remarks, and I would now like to turn the call over to Scott Behrens, who will present the Online Resources financial overview and the combined financial profile.
Thank you. Here is Scott.

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
Scott Behrens - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - EVP, CFO
Thanks, Phil, and good morning, everyone. Ill be starting my comments on slide 7 with just a couple comments on Online Resources financial overview. Slide 7 illustrates how the acquisition of Online Resources would expand the volume and scale in our hosted online banking presence and also provide us with a new segment of higher-growth biller-focused products. Approximately 90% of Online Resources revenue is recurring, primarily generated from a hosted software-as-a-service, or SaaS, solution.
Turning now to slide 8, which illustrates a three-year pro forma look at both companies operating results, the addition of Online Resources would bring ACIs pro forma revenue of $859 million in the trailing 12-month period further along in our trajectory towards our goal of achieving $1 billion in revenue over our strategic planning horizon. As many of you know, our business model has been to grow incremental recurring revenues while maintaining a relatively fixed cost infrastructure. We expect to be able to leverage this infrastructure to support the combined revenue stream.
Our careful and steady model has allowed us to grow top-line revenues while expanding our adjusted EBITDA margins at a multiple of our revenue growth. We expect to continue that expansion in 2013 as we move toward our stated goals of achieving adjusted EBITDA margins of approximately 30%.
We expect the combination of ACI and Online Resources would result in substantial cost savings of more than $19 million. This represents approximately 15% of Online Resources cash costs. Similar to the S1 acquisition, we will continue to assess incremental synergy opportunities and expect future savings related to the rationalization of data centers and facilities. We expect to be able to move quickly to achieve these cost savings and drive the margins of the combined business in line with ACIs healthier margins.
One item to note here is that the combined trailing 12-month adjusted EBITDA of $182 million does not reflect any of the significant cost savings that we believe we can achieve through this transaction. The combined Company would have significant free cash flows that would give us flexibility to delever quickly and ensure that we maintain a strong, flexible balance sheet for continued growth and investment. Additionally, we expect to utilize Online Resources roughly $80 million in net operating loss carryforwards to reduce our future cash taxes.
Then turning finally to slide 9, which gives an overview of the next steps in the process, we will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock of Online Resources no later than February 15, which would require the approval of Online Resources shareholders and customary regulatory approvals. As Phil mentioned, we have committed financing for the cash portion of the consideration, and we expect we can achieve a Q1 closure of the transaction.
That concludes my prepared remarks. Operator, we are ready to open the line to questions at this time.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Operator
(Operator Instructions) Gil Luria, Wedbush USA.
Gil Luria - Wedbush Securities - Analyst
Yes, good morning. Thanks for taking my question. Let me start with a strategic question.
Up until a little more than a year ago you were in a fast-growing segment where you were the biggest size provider by a factor of 10, and you were growing at double digits in that business. This would be the second acquisition of a company growing low to mid single digits in category where there is competition, mostly from Fidelity, Fiserv, and Jack Henry, which are bigger, well-capitalized competitors. Is this going to be a shift in strategy to look more like those companies that have grown through acquisition into adjacent categories and are trying to become a one-stop shop for their bank customers?

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, Gil, weve had a very focused strategy, and it has been very payments it has been payments-oriented. This Companys bill presentment, bill payment business is growing at close to 20% a year; and its combination with our ability to support online banking at the very largest banks in the world down to the credit union banks I think allows our core business certainly our core online banking business to grow at a very competitive rate.
I think it gives us a totally different profile. It is a category that is on the bottom of a test curve. Bill payment, if you eliminate banks paying banks, is probably hasnt attained 10%; there is still 90% of that market left.
It is going to take a much better I think the things we did in payments, where we brought costs down by 70%, 80% on a per-unit basis for the industry, I think we can do the same kinds of things in bill payment. Therefore it is right absolutely in the bulls-eye of our strategy. And it doesnt make us look like a processor; it makes us look like the next generation of what processing makes them look like the last generation and makes us look like the next generation.
Gil Luria - Wedbush Securities - Analyst
Got it. What size how much of Online Resources revenue comes from that biller direct product?
Scott Behrens - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - EVP, CFO
It is about 50% from in their EBPP for the trailing 12 months ended 9/30. But the overall bill payment revenue in total makes up about 75% of their overall revenue stream.
Gil Luria - Wedbush Securities - Analyst
(technical difficulty) growing 18% CAGR, how much revenue comes from that business?
Scott Behrens - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - EVP, CFO
That is about 50%.
Gil Luria - Wedbush Securities - Analyst
So 50% is growing at 18% CAGR. How is the whole company growing low single digits?
Scott Behrens - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - EVP, CFO
Well, its a there are headwinds, I would say, with respect to the remittance-only business, which represents currently about $30 million of revenue, which has been in decline over the last several years, and in combination with some attrition in their online banking products as they have been consolidating platforms. But ultimately we believe that through the stability that we are able to bring, and some of the innovation and technological expertise we can bring, that we should be able to stabilize that customer base as we consolidate it with a larger online banking customer base that we have in our portfolio.

Gil Luria - Wedbush Securities - Analyst
Got it. Then one last question. What is the time frame for getting that $19.5 million of synergies?
Scott Behrens - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - EVP, CFO
We expect to achieve that probably within about 60 days of closing the transaction.
Gil Luria - Wedbush Securities - Analyst
Excellent. Thank you.
Operator
George Sutton, Craig-Hallum.
George Sutton - Craig-Hallum Capital - Analyst
Thank you. Phil, as you go to market with the combined offering now, I know you have a relationship manager model. Is this part of the business going to be served by that relationship manager? Or is there a separate sales group that will be focused on this?
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, were certainly going to have a go-to-market expertise, and the guys in Princeton represent great go-to-market expertise. But yes, we are going to absolutely use our global distribution and our relationships, especially with the large and medium banks all around the world.
They have been asking us to get involved in this part of the business, as much as we have been studying getting involved.
George Sutton - Craig-Hallum Capital - Analyst
Got you. Just structurally, so I understand, Online Resources has had this preferred albatross around it for a while. Have does the preferred get dealt with in this transaction?
Then they also had some lawsuits that I think were unresolved. How are those treated in this transaction?
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, the lawsuits, all but one lawsuit all the lawsuits are fully reserved, right? And all but one of the lawsuits are actually settled. Right? Its very recent, but all but one are settled. So that answers the last question first.
We have contractually met all the obligations of the preferred, which was I think you its public information; it was a very high-yield preferred and was an interesting structure, I guess, in terms of the companys ability to grow.

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
Wayne Johnson - Raymond James - Analyst
Hi, yes. Good morning. I was curious, could you comment on the overlap, if there is any, between ORCCs customer base and S1s, and how you see that product roadmap, not just in functionality but in terms of customers served, playing out over the next few years?
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, on the community bank, credit union business, they are in the same markets. Their customer base does not overlap, but they are in the same markets.
It kind of takes us from being a subpar player, and it doubles our size in that. We are now as competitive as anybody. Nobody is structurally bigger than we are, I guess you would say, in terms of that, although we are not structurally bigger than the other couple competitors and major competitors, too. Does that answer your question?
Wayne Johnson - Raymond James - Analyst
Yes, thats helpful, and it dovetails into my follow-up, if I may. In hearing your comments about electronic bill presentment payment, the outsourced servicing, the direct, so should I assume, should we assume, should investors expect that ACI is going to be swimming upstream with this service? Are you going to be trying to sell this EBPP into the larger banks, which has been the domain of CheckFree and Fiserv and FIS for some time?
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, we provide a large portion of either of complete solutions for online or partial solutions for online in medium and large banks. I think Ittai has just come out with a pretty good description of that.
We have been told by the very large banks and by the certainly larger medium banks that this was a gap in our offering and this is something that we needed to provide them as a probably not in competition with the traditional providers, because we intend to provide it as a service to them, not as a competitive processing. Right?
So we want to more enable them to do their own payments than we feel that we need and we will get paid just the way we do with everything else in terms of the capacity we sell them, versus feel that we need we are not doing this to get in the consumer revenue business.
Wayne Johnson - Raymond James - Analyst
Okay, terrific. Thank you.
Operator
Brett Huff, Stephens Inc.
Brett Huff - Stephens Inc. - Analyst
Good morning, guys. My first question is, can you just give us either a qualitative or quantitative sense of what the initial cross-sale opportunities are? Both identify them specifically and then, if you can, size them; may be early for that.

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, I dont think we will size them on this call or announcement. We have actually been working with external consultants and whatnot for a year on this and working with some of our larger customers on a concept basis.
I would say that most 75%, 80% of the large, 700, 800 ACI historic customers this becomes an additional cross-sell opportunity to them, and it lands up being in their top-three, top-five objectives in terms of significantly improving the efficiencies of bill payment. So does that answer your is that a direct enough question?
Brett Huff - Stephens Inc. - Analyst
Yes.
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Now all customers are not equal. If you took if you looked at it from a competitive landscape, any three customers could have radically different underlying share as it relates to this.
And the other fact that I still believe that 90% of this is greenfield, right? You need to come after it in both respects.
So you could land up giving these huge, audacious numbers, which I dont think would do anyone any good. But I think the best way to explain it is theres probably 750, 800 customers and a growing piece of our international distribution that really wants the ability to own and manage their ability to do payments.
Brett Huff - Stephens Inc. - Analyst
Okay. Then the follow-up is and this is maybe a more detailed version of the same question. But I think the big concern that folks have had with ORCC is and we have talked about this, Scott; I think you mentioned it is that the bank-based bill pay has been in decline for some time, we think primarily due to difficult competition and bundling by some of the core processors.
Clearly you guys bring distribution that will help solve that. I think their technology is actually pretty good.
But how do you guys see stemming that 5% or 10% decline that they have been seeing for the last few years? What is the plan for turning that around? What is your as you were evaluating it, how did you evaluate that risk factor and how to address it here in the near term to show some points on the board on that front?
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, I will give you one point of fact and then we will take that to a point to forecast. S1s business had the same you could have characterized their community and credit union business the same way as you just characterized ORCCs. Right? It is not as transparent and wasnt as big a piece of the puzzle.
That is we certainly studied the heck out of that, because if you remember when we bought S1 we said that until we knew more about the business we werent even sure we were going to keep it.

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
Brett Huff - Stephens Inc. - Analyst
Right.
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
I can now tell you a year after we closed, or just about a year after we closed, that we have gone from being a net attriting business to we are growing, right? And we believe that we can promote that same characteristic with ORCC.
I actually think that ORCC has been doing a yeomans task that they you dont get credit for, as a 90- to 360- or 720-day investor, is that the price seeing in payments is very, very high. And the competition is Ill keep all your payments revenue, and I will give you online banking free. And if you are competing with somebody, they have to kind of match that; they have been forced to play the game in town.
And instead of totally playing it, what they did was they restructured their pricing and their approach to the market, which was actually beginning to yield them higher margins on a much lower unit revenue. So I would rather get a 20% return on 50% revenue stream than to get a 1% return on twice the revenue stream. So ORCC was actually doing some very good reengineering, which created real interest on our part.
Brett Huff - Stephens Inc. - Analyst
Okay. Thats what I needed. Thanks for your time.
Operator
Glenn Greene, Oppenheimer.
Glenn Greene - Oppenheimer & Co. - Analyst
Thank you. Good morning and congratulations on the deal. A few questions. I will ask them all up front in the interest of time; and you may have addresses because I hopped on late.
But was there an auction process, was the first question? Maybe perhaps detail the $20 million or so cost synergies. At a high level it actually feels like it is low, and I think you suggested you could deliver it within I think I heard 60 days, which maybe suggests that it is conservative.
Is management of ORCC staying on at all? Are there any breakup fees related to the deal? Meaning, can ORCC pursue a higher bid? And I think I heard this, but just want to make sure Tannenbaum is on board with the whole deal.
Phil Heasley - ACI Worldwide, Inc. - President, CEO
Well, the largest shareholder is on board with the whole deal, because I dont think we need to say anything about it both from a preferred and from a common standpoint.
You asked a whole bunch of questions as a question. Our history is that we give you a cost takeout number that we can achieve in a very short and measurable period of time. The $19.5 million is the 90-day take; and so we intend to take that out in 90 days.
And yes, there is it is conservative; and yes, there is probably more synergies both on their and our side. One of the reasons we dont overcommit at the beginning, but we make sure that it financially makes sense, is that from it is kind of the answer to your management question.

JANUARY 31, 2013 / 1:30PM, ACIW - ACI Worldwide to Acquire Online Resources Conference Call
We have always been if you have studied our past deals, we have always been a meritocracy. We take we try to have the best people remaining. And ORCC has some very talented people and we intend to keep that meritocracy point of view.
In terms of whether there was an auction or not, we cant really talk about the past history of ORCC. I think you guys know it better than we do. We can tell you that we have had long and extensive dialogues with them, and I think that is all. I think that is a question that they would have to answer.
And, yes, there is a breakup fee.
