(a) Conversion of TTM Shares.  In consideration of the Merger, at the Effective Time, each share of TTM (the “TTM Common Stock” or “TTM Share(s)”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into the right to receive that number of shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of SYSX (the “SYSX Common Stock” or “SYSX Share(s)”) (resulting in Merger Shares) as set forth in Schedule I-C, to the effect that the shareholders of TTM will receive that number of shares of SYSX Common Stock (approximately, 123,298,152 shares in the aggregate) representing at least eighty percent (80%) of the then outstanding shares of SYSX Common Stock after accounting for issuance of the Debt Shares as set forth in Schedule I-B and other SYSX Shares issued at or in connection with the Closing of the Merger as set forth in more detail in Schedule I. The TTM shareholders receiving Merger Shares, which will be issued contemporaneously with the Closing are listed in the “Capitalization Table” as set forth in Schedule I. All converted TTM Shares shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each certificate (if any) or ownership interest previously representing any such converted TTM Shares shall thereafter represent the right to receive a stock certificate or direct registration book entry statement (“DRS Statement”) representing that number of shares of SYSX Common Stock into which such TTM Shares were converted in the Merger pursuant to this Agreement.  No fractional shares shall be issued in the Merger and all fractional shares shall be rounded down to the nearest whole SYSX Share; the aggregate number of Merger Shares issued to the shareholders of TTM shall be as set forth in Schedule I-C (approximately 123,298,152 shares in the aggregate).

 

(b) Conversion of MergerSub Common Stock into TTM Common Stock.  All shares of common stock, $0.00001 par value of MergerSub issued and outstanding in the aggregate immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and be exchanged for one hundred (100) newly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.000001 per share, of TTM.

 

2.2 Manner of Conversion Regarding Merger Shares.  The manner of converting the TTM Shares into shares of SYSX Common Stock (resulting in Merger Shares) in accordance with Section 2.1 above shall be as follows:

 

(a)From and after the Effective Time, SYSX (either directly or through its transfer agent) shall act as exchange agent in effecting the exchange of shares of SYSX Common Stock for TTM Shares and pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof, SYSX will cause to be issued by its transfer agent (Computershare Limited), stock certificates or DRS Statements representing the Merger Shares to be received by the TTM shareholders in connection with the Merger.  

 

2.3 Restricted Stock.  The shares of SYSX Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Merger have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”) and are “restricted securities” as that term is defined in SEC Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Each stock certificate or DRS Statement evidencing the Merger Shares shall bear an appropriate restrictive legend in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

10.2 Third-Party Claims.

 

(a) If any party entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 10.1 (an “Indemnified Party”) receives notice of the assertion by any third party of any claim or of the commencement by any such third Person of any actual or threatened claim, action, suit, arbitration, hearing, inquiry, proceeding, complaint, charge or investigation by or before any Governmental Authority or arbitrator and an appeal from any of the foregoing (any such claim or Action being referred to herein as an “Indemnifiable Claim”) with respect to which another party hereto (an “Indemnifying Party”) is or may be obligated to provide indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing (the “Claim Notice”) of the Indemnifiable Claim; provided, that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve or otherwise affect the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to provide indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that any damages directly resulted or were caused by such failure.

 

(b) The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice to undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing, and at its expense, the settlement or defense thereof, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith; provided, that (i) the Indemnifying Party shall permit the Indemnified Party to participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by the Indemnified Party (subject to the consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), provided that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be borne by the Indemnifying Party, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Indemnifiable Claim without the Indemnified Party’s consent.  So long as the Indemnifying Party is vigorously contesting any such Indemnifiable Claim in good faith, the Indemnified Party shall not pay or settle such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

 

(c) If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Claim Notice that it elects to undertake the defense of the Indemnifiable Claim described therein, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest, settle, or compromise the Indemnifiable Claim in the exercise of its reasonable discretion; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party of any compromise or settlement of any such Indemnifiable Claim.

 

10.3 Indemnification Non-Exclusive.  The foregoing indemnification provisions are in addition to, and not in derogation of, any statutory, equitable, or common-law remedy any party may have for breach of representation, warranty, covenant or agreement.

 

10.4 Right to Additional Shares. In the event of a breach under Section 4.7 of this Agreement, which is discovered within a period of one (1) year from the Effective Time, and confirmed by the Board of Directors of SYSX in its sole and absolute discretion, the holders of the Merger Shares shall, subject to approval of the Board of Directors of SYSX, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion, have a right to receive additional SYSX Shares. The number of additional SYSX Shares shall be determined by reference to the amount of any actual liabilities, fees or damages (“Damages”) incurred by such breach (e.g., discovery of additional indebtedness not included in Schedule II or otherwise disclosed in this Agreement) in an amount that shall be reasonably determined by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion. In the event that the Board of Directors determines that a qualifying breach has occurred, and has determined the monetary value of such Damages, the Board of Directors may, but is not required to, approve the issuance of the number of shares of SYSX Common Stock equal to the Damages divided by the twenty (20) day volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) of SYSX Common Stock measured from the issuance date of such SYSX Shares. Such SYSX Common Stock shall thereafter, subject to approval of the Board of Directors, be distributed on a pro-rata basis to the holders of the Merger Shares set forth on Schedule I-C hereto (whether or not they hold any shares at the time of any such issuance).
