NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

All references to the “Company” and “Kratos” refer to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries.

 

(a)                                  Basis of Presentation

 

The information as of June 26, 2011 and for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 26, 2010 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 26, 2010, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 2, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”). Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.

 

(b)                                  Principles of Consolidation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries for which all inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

(c)                                  Fiscal Year

 

The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of the year, with interim fiscal periods ending on the last Sunday of the last month of each calendar quarter. The six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 consisted of 26 week periods. There are 52 calendar weeks in the fiscal years ending on December 26, 2010 and December 25, 2011.

 

(d)                              Accounting Policies and Accounting Standards Updates

 

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) including ASU 2011-05 Comprehensive Income, not effective until after December 15, 2011, are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 26, 2011 as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K with the following exception:

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income consists of (i) net income (loss) and (ii) other related gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income. For the Company, other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses.

 

(e)                                  Concentrations and Uncertainties

 

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions and such balances commonly exceed the $250,000 insured amount by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and management believes that the Company is not exposed to any significant credit risk with respect to such cash and cash equivalents.

 

6



Table of Contents

 

Financial instruments, which subject the Company to potential concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of the Company’s billed and unbilled accounts receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable result from sales to customers within the federal government, state and local agencies and with commercial customers in various industries. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its commercial customers. Credit is extended based on evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and collateral is not required. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. See Note 12 for a discussion of the Company’s significant customers.

 

The Company has outstanding 10% Senior Secured Notes with an aggregate principal amount of $510.0 million which is due on June 1, 2017. The Company pays interest at the rate of 10% per annum semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year. As of June 26, 2011, the principal amount of $510.0 million is outstanding under these notes. In addition, the Company has $26.4 million available under its existing revolving credit agreement. See Note 9 for a complete description of the Company’s debt.

 

The Company intends to fund its cash requirements with cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under its existing revolving credit facility. Management believes these sources of liquidity should be sufficient to meet the Company’s cash needs for at least the next 12 months. The Company’s quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are external to its control. If the conditions in its industry deteriorate, its customers cancel or postpone projects or if the Company is unable to sufficiently increase its revenues or further reduce its expenses, the Company may experience, in the future, a significant long-term negative impact to its financial results and cash flows from operations. In such a situation, the Company could fall out of compliance with its financial and other covenants which, if not waived, could limit its liquidity and capital resources.

 

(f)            Reclassifications

 

Certain amounts in the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 condensed consolidated statements of operations have been reclassified to conform to the June 26, 2011 presentation.

 

Note 2.  Acquisitions

 

(a)           Summary of Recent Acquisitions

 

Herley Industries, Inc.

 

On March 25, 2011 (the “Acquisition Date”), pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 7, 2011 (the “Herley Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Lanza Acquisition Co. (“Herley Merger Sub”) and Herley Industries, Inc. (“Herley”), Herley Merger Sub acquired approximately 13.2 million shares of Herley common stock representing approximately 94% of the total outstanding shares of Herley common stock in a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Herley common stock (the “Offer”). The fair value of the non-controlling interest related to Herley as of March 25, 2011 was $16.9 million, which represents the market trading price of $19.00 per share multiplied by the approximately 0.9 million shares that were not tendered as of March 25, 2011. On March 30, 2011, following purchases of the non-controlling interest in a subsequent offering period, Herley Merger Sub was merged with and into Herley, with Herley continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The shares of Herley common stock were purchased at a price of $19.00 per share. Accordingly, the Company paid approximately $245.5 million in cash consideration as of March 27, 2011 and as of April 15, 2011 had paid total aggregate cash consideration of $270.7 million in respect of the shares of Herley common stock and certain in-the-money options, which were exercised upon the change in control. In addition, upon completion of the merger, all unexercised options to purchase Herley common stock were assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase Kratos common stock, entitling the holders thereof to receive 1.3495 shares of Kratos common stock for each share of Herley common stock underlying the options (“Herley Options”). The Company assumed each Herley Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of the Herley Merger Agreement) of the applicable Herley equity plan and the option agreement pursuant to which such Herley Option was granted. The options are exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 0.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock. All options were fully vested upon the change in control and the fair value of the options assumed was $1.9 million. The total aggregate consideration for the purchase of Herley was $272.6 million.  In addition, the Company assumed change in control obligations of $4.0 million related to the transaction, the majority of which will be paid in 2011, and combined transaction expenses of $11.1 million.

 

To fund the acquisition of Herley, on February 11, 2011, Kratos sold approximately 4.9 million shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $13.25 per share in an underwritten public offering. Kratos received gross proceeds of approximately $64.8 million and net proceeds of approximately $61.1 million after deducting underwriting fees and other offering expenses. Kratos used the net proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Herley. In addition, Kratos issued $285.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “Stage I Notes”) at a premium of 107% through its wholly owned subsidiary, Acquisition Co. Lanza Parent (the “Stage I Issuer”), on March 25, 2011, in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act, to finance the acquisition of Herley. On April 4, 2011, after the acquisition of Herley was complete, the Stage I Issuer was merged with and into Kratos, all assets and liabilities of the Stage I Issuer became assets and liabilities of Kratos. See Note 9 for a complete description of the Company’s debt.

Herley is a leading provider of microwave technologies for use in command and control systems, flight instrumentation, weapons sensors, radar, communication systems, electronic warfare and electronic attack systems. Herley has served the defense industry for approximately 45 years by designing and manufacturing microwave devices for use in high-technology defense electronics applications. It has established relationships, experience and expertise in the military electronics, electronic warfare and electronic attack industry. Herley’s products represent key components in the national security efforts of the U.S., as they are employed in mission-critical electronic warfare, electronic attack, electronic warfare threat and radar simulation, command and control network, and cyber warfare/cyber security applications. Herley is part of the Company’s Kratos Government Solutions (“KGS”) segment.

 

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was allocated to goodwill. The value of the goodwill represents the value the Company expects to be created by Herley’s significant expertise in numerous established electronic attack and electronic warfare platforms, tactical missile systems, and strategic deterrence systems which complement the Company’s existing business in manned and unmanned aircraft, missile systems and certain other programs.

 

The Herley transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the merger date. The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of major assets acquired and liabilities assumed (in millions):

The gross accounts receivable was $39.3 million, of which $0.2 million is not expected to be collectible. There were no contingent liabilities associated with the acquisition of Herley. The Company initially recorded $47.9 million of inventory and $30.4 million in property and equipment. The Company decreased the value of acquired inventory to $44.5 million and increased the value of acquired property and equipment to $34.0 million based on its updated preliminary valuations.

 

The amounts of revenue and operating income of Herley included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for both the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 was $51.8 million and $6.5 million, respectively.

 

Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc.

 

On December 15, 2010, the Company acquired Henry Bros. Electronics, Inc. (“HBE”) in a cash merger for a purchase price of $56.6 million, of which $54.9 million was paid in cash and $1.7 million reflects the fair value of options to purchase common stock of HBE that were assumed by the Company and converted into options to purchase common stock of the Company. Upon completion of the merger, holders of HBE common stock received $8.20 in cash for each share of HBE common stock held by them immediately prior to the closing of the merger. In addition, upon completion of the merger, all options to purchase HBE common stock were assumed by the Company (the “HBE Options”) and converted into options to purchase common stock of the Company, entitling the holders thereof to receive 0.7715 shares of common stock of the Company for each share of HBE common stock underlying the HBE Options. The HBE Options will be exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 0.4 million shares of common stock of the Company. The fair value of unvested HBE Options which are related to future service will be expensed as the service is performed over a weighted average vesting period of 2.5 years.

The combination of the Company’s existing PSS businesses, with one of the leading homeland security solutions and high end security system design and engineering services providers in the industry today, strategically strengthens the Company’s overall capabilities and enhances its customer offerings and overall contract portfolio.

 

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was allocated to goodwill. The value of the goodwill represents the value the Company expects to be created by enabling it to strategically expand its strengths in the areas of homeland security solutions and will also enable the Company to realize significant cross selling opportunities, and increase its sales of higher margin, fixed price products.

 

The HBE transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the merger date.

As of December 15, 2010, the expected fair value of accounts receivable approximated the historical cost. The gross accounts receivable was $28.6 million, of which $0.9 million is not expected to be collectible.

 

There were no contingent liabilities associated with the acquisition of HBE other than contingent liabilities of $0.4 million associated with HBE’s acquisition of Professional Security Technologies LLC (“PST”) in September 2010. The agreement with PST provides that the former shareholders of PST receive a 5% payment for achievement of revenue amounts from certain customers for the period from June 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012.

 

The amounts of revenue and operating income of HBE included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 are $16.6 million and $33.4 million, and $1.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

 

Southside Container & Trailer, LLC

 

On December 7, 2010, the Company acquired Southside Container & Trailer, LLC (“SCT”) for $13.7 million of which $12.2 million in cash was paid at closing, $0.3 million was paid in March 2011 as SCT’s indemnification obligations as set forth in the applicable acquisition agreement (the “SCT Agreement”) were met and approximately $1.2 million of which represents the acquisition date fair value of additional performance based consideration. SCT is a privately-held provider of national security related command and control center, law enforcement, military aviation and data center products, shelters and solutions for the DoD, National Security agencies and related customers. SCT also provides products and solutions for specialized war fighter and critical asymmetric warfare related missions. SCT is part of the KGS segment.

Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Walterboro, South Carolina, SCT designs, engineers, manufactures and delivers various products, shelters and solutions used primarily by the war fighter and first responder in fulfilling their respective national security missions. Representative end customers and program locations include the United States Army, Marine Corps, Special Operations Command, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Fort Bragg, Fort Lewis, Fort Bliss, Fort McGregor, Fort Irwin, Fort Stewart, the Border Patrol and the National Guard. SCT is known for its superior design, engineering, construction and on schedule and on budget delivery of cost effective products and solutions that meet critical and special mission national security and asymmetric warfare requirements.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the SCT Agreement, upon achievement of certain earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (“EBITDA”) amounts in 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Company will pay the former stockholders of SCT certain additional performance-based consideration (“SCT Contingent Consideration”). The potential undiscounted amount of all future SCT Contingent Consideration that may be payable by the Company under the SCT Agreement is between zero and $3.5 million.

 

The fair value of the SCT Contingent Consideration of $1.2 million was estimated by applying the income approach, which is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“Topic 820”) refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 6.1%, a market participant cost of debt at the date of acquisition, and probability-adjusted levels for EBITDA. Any change in the fair value of the SCT Contingent Consideration subsequent to December 7, 2010, including changes from events after such date, will be recognized in earnings in the period the estimated fair value changes. The SCT Contingent Consideration as of June 26, 2011 of $1.2 million is reflected in other current liabilities and long-term liabilities as $0.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was allocated to goodwill.

The amounts of revenue and operating income of SCT included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 are $1.9 million and $4.5 million, and $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

 

DEI Services Corporation

 

On August 9, 2010, the Company acquired DEI Services Corporation (“DEI”), in a cash merger valued at approximately $14.0 million, of which $9.0 million was paid in cash at closing and approximately $5.0 million of which represented the acquisition date fair value of additional performance-based consideration, of which $0.4 million was achieved and paid in September 2010. DEI is part of the KGS segment.

Table of Contents

 

Founded in 1996 and headquartered in Orlando, Florida, DEI designs, manufactures and markets full-scale training simulation products. In addition to the engineering and construction of physical simulators for air and ground military vehicles, DEI provides instructional design, courseware creation, learning application programming and other supporting services. Among DEI’s most successful products are training and simulation solutions for fixed-wing aircraft (including the Tiger, Harrier and Prowler aircraft), rotor-wing aircraft (including Blackhawk, Chinook and Sea Stallion helicopters) and Ground Combat Vehicles (including the M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank and M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement and plan of merger (the “DEI Agreement”), upon achievement of certain cash receipts, revenue, EBITDA and backlog amounts in 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company will be obligated to pay certain additional contingent consideration (the “DEI Contingent Consideration”). The potential undiscounted amount of all future DEI Contingent Consideration that may be payable by the Company under the DEI Agreement is between zero and $12.3 million. The DEI Contingent Consideration will be reduced in the event certain anticipated cash receipts are not collected within agreed upon time periods, which could decrease the future payments by approximately $8.6 million.

 

The fair value of the DEI Contingent Consideration of $5.0 million was estimated by applying the income approach, which is based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which Topic 820 refers to as Level 3 inputs. Key assumptions include a discount rate of 5.8%, a market participant cost of debt at the date of acquisition, and probability-adjusted levels of cash receipts, revenue, EBITDA and backlog. Any change in the fair value of the DEI Contingent Consideration subsequent to August 9, 2010, including changes from events after such date, such as changes in the meeting of performance goals, will be recognized in earnings in the period the estimated fair value changes. The balance of the DEI Contingent Consideration as of June 26, 2011 of $4.6 million is reflected in other current liabilities and long-term liabilities as $2.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheet.

 

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was allocated to goodwill. The value of the goodwill represents the value the Company expects to be created by enabling it to strategically expand the Company’s workforce learning, performance and training solutions to support the warfighter as well as its other defense, security and government customers.

 

The DEI transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the merger date.

Gichner Holdings, Inc.

 

On May 19, 2010, the Company acquired Gichner Holdings, Inc. (“Gichner”) pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Gichner Agreement”), dated as of April 12, 2010, by and between the Company and the stockholders of Gichner, in a cash for stock transaction valued at approximately $133.0 million. Gichner has manufacturing and operating facilities in Dallastown and York, Pennsylvania and Charleston, South Carolina, and is a manufacturer of tactical military products, combat support facilities, subsystems, modular systems and shelters primarily for the DoD and leading defense system providers. Representative programs for which Gichner provides products and solutions include the MQ—1C Sky Warrior, Gorgon Stare, MQ—8B Fire Scout and RQ—7 Shadow Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, the Command Post Platform and Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, Combat Tactical Vehicles, DDG-1000 Modular C5 Compartments and the Persistent Threat Detection System ISR Platform. Gichner is part of the KGS segment.

 

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition was allocated to goodwill. The value of the goodwill represents the value the Company expects to be created by enabling it to strategically expand its strengths in the areas of weapons system sustainment; Command, Control, Communications, Computing, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (“C5ISR”); military preset/reset; and foreign military sales. It will also enable the Company to realize significant cross selling opportunities, pursue new and larger contracts and increase its sales of higher margin, fixed price products.

 

Upon completion of the Gichner transaction, the Company deposited $8.1 million of the purchase price (“the holdback”) into an escrow account as security for Gichner’s indemnification obligations as set forth in the Gichner Agreement. In addition, the Gichner Agreement provided that the purchase price would be (i) increased on a dollar for dollar basis if the working capital on the closing date (as defined in the Gichner Agreement) exceeded $17.5 million or (ii) decreased on a dollar for dollar basis if the working capital was less than $17.1 million. The Company and Altus Capital Partners, Inc., the sellers’ representative under the Gichner Agreement, have agreed to a working capital adjustment of $0.6 million owed to the Company. In May 2011 the Company paid $7.1 million of the holdback and will pay the remaining amount of the holdback owed of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2011.

 

The Gichner transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the merger date. Due to the working capital adjustment discussed above, the Company retrospectively recorded purchase price adjustments at the acquisition date to decrease current liabilities by $0.6 million and reduce net deferred tax assets by $0.4 million, resulting in a $0.2 million reduction to the original goodwill recorded of $68.4 million. The following table summarizes the fair values of major assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including the retrospective adjustments, as part of the Gichner transaction (in millions):

The goodwill recorded in this transaction is not tax deductible.

 

As of May 19, 2010, the expected fair value of accounts receivable approximated the historical cost. The gross accounts receivable was $15.6 million, of which $0.4 million is not expected to be collectible.

 

Gichner has two primary areas of contingent liabilities: environmental and uncertain tax liabilities. Additionally, Gichner is involved in various commercial disputes and employment matters. The majority of the contingent liabilities have been recorded at fair value in the allocation of acquired assets and liabilities or purchase price, aside from those pertaining to uncertainty in income taxes which are an exception to the fair value basis of accounting; however certain environmental matters that are inherently legal contingencies in nature are recorded at the probable and estimable amount. As of the acquisition date approximately $0.2 million has been recorded for probable and estimable environmental and employment liabilities.

The amounts of revenue and operating income of Gichner included in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 26, 2011 are $31.8 million and $65.8 million, and $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively.  For the three and six months ended June 27, 2010, the amounts of revenue and operating income included in the condensed consolidated statement of operations was $20.0 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

 

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, (“Topic 805”) the allocation of the purchase price for the Company’s acquisitions of DEI, SCT, HBE and Herley are subject to adjustment during the measurement period after the respective closing dates when additional information on asset and liability valuations become available. The above estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are provisional and are based on the information that was available as of the respective acquisition dates to estimate the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Measurement period adjustments reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the respective acquisition dates. The Company believes that information provides a reasonable basis for estimating the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed but the Company is waiting for additional information necessary to finalize those fair values. The Company has not finalized its valuation of certain assets and liabilities recorded in connection with these transactions, including, intangible assets, inventory, property and equipment and deferred taxes. Thus, the provisional measurements recorded are subject to change and any changes will be recorded as adjustments to the fair value of those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill. The final valuation adjustments may also require adjustment to the consolidated statements of operations.

 

Pro Forma Financial Information

 

The following tables summarize the supplemental statements of operations information on an unaudited pro forma basis as if the acquisitions of Herley, HBE, SCT, DEI, and Gichner had occurred on December 28, 2009, and include adjustments that were directly attributable to the foregoing transactions or were not expected to have a continuing impact on the Company. All acquisitions were included in the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended June 26, 2011. There are no material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combinations included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings for 2010 or 2011. The pro forma results are for illustrative purposes only for the applicable period and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results which would have occurred had the transaction been completed as of the beginning of the period, nor are they indicative of results of operations which may occur in the future (all amounts, except per share amounts are in millions):

Note 3. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

(a)           Goodwill

 

The Company performs its annual impairment test for goodwill in accordance with ASC Topic 350Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“Topic 350”) as of the last day of each fiscal year or when evidence of potential impairment exists.

 

13



Table of Contents

 

The Company assesses goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is defined as an operating segment or one level below an operating segment, referred to as a component. The Company determines its reporting units by first identifying its operating segments, and then assessing whether any components of these segments constitute a business for which discrete financial information is available and where segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Company aggregates components within an operating segment that have similar economic characteristics. For the annual and, if necessary, interim impairment assessment, the Company identified its reporting units to be its operating segments which are KGS and PSS.

 

The Company’s testing approach utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis corroborated by comparative market multiples to determine the fair value of its businesses for comparison to their corresponding book values because there are no observable inputs available (Level 3 hierarchy as defined by Topic 820). The Company also considers its market capitalization based upon an average of the stock price prior to and subsequent to the date the analysis is performed and reconciles the fair value of the Company’s reporting units to the Company’s market capitalization assuming a control premium. If the book value exceeds the estimated fair value for a business, a potential impairment is indicated and Topic 350 prescribes the approach for determining the impairment amount, if any.

Note 4. Inventoried Costs

 

Inventoried costs are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the average cost or first-in, first-out method and is applied consistently within an operating entity. Inventoried costs primarily relate to work in process under fixed-price contracts using costs as the basis of the percentage-of-completion calculation under the units produced method of revenue recognition. These costs represent accumulated contract costs less the portion of such costs allocated to delivered items. Accumulated contract costs include direct production costs, factory and engineering overhead and production tooling costs. Pursuant to contract provisions of U.S. Government contracts, such customers may have title to, or a security interest in, inventories related to such contracts as a result of advances, performance-based payments, and progress payments. The Company reflects those advances and payments as an offset against the related inventory balances.

 

The Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand, future purchase commitments with its suppliers, and the estimated utility of its inventory. If the Company’s review indicates a reduction in utility below carrying value, it reduces its inventory to a new cost basis.

Note 6. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

The Company calculates net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, Earnings Per Share (“Topic 260”). Under Topic 260, basic net income (loss) per common share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities.

Note 7. Income Taxes

 

As of December 26, 2010, the Company had $12.4 million of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate, subject to possible offset by an increase in the valuation allowance.  During the six months ended June 26, 2011, the Company settled its refund claim with the IRS, which will result in a refund to the Company of approximately $2.1 million, including approximately $0.5 million of interest income which was collected in the second quarter.  The Company recorded an income tax benefit from continuing operations for this full amount, as this claim had been considered an uncertain tax position under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes.  During the six months ended June 26, 2011, the unrecognized tax benefits were reduced by $0.3 million relating to the expiration of the statute of limitations. The reduction in unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as a tax benefit from discontinued operations.

Table of Contents

 

During the first quarter of 2011, the Company initially recorded, the unrecognized tax benefits of Herley Industries of $1.1 million. The Company increased the unrecognized tax benefits of Herley to $1.2 million based on its updated analysis. The increase in unrecognized tax benefits was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill. Herley’s unrecognized tax benefits are related to various federal and state tax issues.

 

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes.  There were no material expense amounts recorded during the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively.  As a result of the Herley acquisition, a $0.1 million liability for cumulative interest and penalties was recorded with a corresponding increase to goodwill. The Company recorded a benefit for interest and penalties related to the reversal of prior positions of $0.3 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that as much as $0.3 million of the liabilities for uncertain tax positions will expire within 12 months of June 26, 2011 due to the expiration of various applicable statutes of limitations.

 

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S., various state tax jurisdictions, and various foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years for 2000 and forward are subject to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities due to the existence of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. Generally, the Company’s tax years for 2002 and forward are subject to examination by various foreign tax authorities.

 

In assessing the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers, on a periodic basis, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As such, management has determined that it is appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets, with the exception of an amount equal to its deferred tax liabilities which can be expected to reverse over a definite life. Management will continue to evaluate the necessity to maintain a valuation allowance against the Company’s net deferred tax asset.

 

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Herley, the Company recorded the acquired assets and liabilities at their respective fair market values. For financial statement purposes, the Company increased the historic basis of the Herley assets by approximately $36.8 million. For tax purposes, the Company is required to carry over the historic tax basis of the assets and liabilities of Herley and in accordance with Topic 805, the Company established deferred tax liabilities of approximately $12.8 million for the increase in the financial statement basis of the acquired assets.

 

A reconciliation of total income tax provision to the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate of 35% to loss from continuing operations before income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 is as follows (in millions):

Federal and state income tax laws impose restrictions on the utilization of NOL and tax credit carryforwards in the event that an “ownership change” occurs for tax purposes, as defined by Section 382 (“Section 382”) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). In general, an ownership change occurs when shareholders owning 5% or more of a “loss corporation” (a corporation entitled to use NOL or other loss carryovers) have increased their ownership of stock in such corporation by more than 50 percentage points during any 3-year period. The annual base Section 382 limitation is calculated by multiplying the loss corporation’s value (which may be modified for certain recent increases to capital) at the time of the ownership change times the greater of the long-term tax-exempt rate determined by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) in the month of the ownership change or the two preceding months.  In March 2010, an “ownership change” occurred which will limit the utilization of the loss carryforwards. As a result, the Company’s federal annual utilization of NOL carryforwards will be limited to $28.1 million for five years and $11.6 million per year thereafter. For the six months ended June 26, 2011, there was no impact of such limitations on the income tax provision since the amount of

Table of Contents

 

taxable income did not exceed the annual limitation amount. In addition the recent equity offerings did not result in an “ownership change”, however, future equity offerings or acquisitions that have equity as a component of the purchase price could also result in an “ownership change”. If and when any other “ownership change” occurs, utilization of the NOL or other tax attributes may be further limited. As discussed elsewhere, deferred tax assets relating to the NOL and credit carryforwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. In addition, utilization of state tax loss carryforwards is dependent upon sufficient taxable income apportioned to the states.

 

Note 8. Discontinued Operations

 

On August 2, 2010, the Company divested the southeast division of its PSS segment for approximately $0.1 million cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities.

Note 9. Debt

 

(a)           Issuance of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017

 

On May 19, 2010, the Company entered into an Indenture with the guarantors set forth therein and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Indenture”) to issue 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. As of June 26, 2011, the Company has issued notes of $225.0 million (the “Original Notes”) and $285.0 million (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Original Notes, the “Existing Notes”) under this Indenture. These Existing Notes were used to fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.  They are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The holders of the Existing Notes have a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the guarantors, except accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property) where the holders of the senior secured borrowings have a second priority lien to the $35.0 million credit facility described below.

Table of Contents

 

The Company pays interest on the Existing Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Existing Notes include customary covenants and events of default as well as a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 2.0:1.0 for the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy, insolvency, material judgments and changes in control. As of June 26, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures related to the Existing Notes described below.

 

On or after June 1, 2014, the Company may redeem some or all of the Existing Notes at 105% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through June 1, 2015, 102.5% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through June 1, 2016 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to June 1, 2013, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes at 110% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, the Company may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Existing Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2014, by paying a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

Original Notes - $225 Million 10% Senior Secured Note Offering, May 2010

 

On May 19, 2010, the Company issued its 10% Senior Secured Notes due June 1, 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act and on August 11, 2010, the Company completed an exchange offer for such notes pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance thereof.  The proceeds were primarily used to finance the acquisitions of Gichner, DEI and Southside. (see Note 2).

 

Additional Notes - $285 Million 10% Senior Secured Note Offering, March 2011

 

On March 25, 2011, the Stage I Issuer issued $285.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Stage I Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated March 25, 2011, by and among the Stage I Issuer, the guarantors named therein and a party thereto, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Stage I Indenture”). The Stage I Issuer received approximately $314.0 million in cash proceeds from the offering, which includes an approximate $20.0 million of issuance premiums and $9.0 million of accrued interest, which proceeds were used, together with cash contributions of $45.0 million from the Company, to finance the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Herley (see Note 2), to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The effective interest rate on the Additional Notes is 8.5%.  In connection with the purchase and sale of the Stage I Notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Stage I Notes. On April 4, 2011, (i) the Stage I Issuer merged with and into the Company, and the Company assumed all the assets and liabilities of the Stage I Issuer including, pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the Stage I Indenture, all the obligations of the Stage I Issuer under the Stage I Indenture, the Stage I Notes and the related collateral agreements and (ii) the Company became the issuer of the Stage I Notes under the Stage I Indenture and pledgor under such collateral agreements. On April 15, 2011, the Company redeemed all of the Stage I Notes by issuing in exchange therefore the Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Stage I Notes. On July 29, 2011, the Company completed an exchange offer for the Additional Notes pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance thereof.

 

(b)           Other Indebtedness

 

$35 Million Credit Facility

 

Concurrent with the completion of the offering of the Original Notes on May 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and with KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”), as administrative agent, lead arranger and sole book runner, for a four year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $25.0 million (the “Revolver”). The Revolver is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Revolver has a first priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). On all other assets, the Revolver has a second priority lien to the Existing Notes.

 

The Revolver is available for four years and may be increased to $45.0 million. The increases in the Revolver are subject to the consent of KeyBank and compliance with covenants in the Existing Notes. The amounts of borrowings that may be made under the Revolver are based on a borrowing base and are comprised of specified percentages of eligible receivables, eligible unbilled receivables and eligible inventory. If the amount of borrowings outstanding under the Revolver exceeds the borrowing base then in effect, the Company is required to repay such borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Revolver includes $10.0 million of availability for letters of credit and $5.0 million of availability for swingline loans.

 

19



Table of Contents

 

The Company may borrow funds under the Revolver at a base rate based either on LIBOR or a base rate established by KeyBank. Base rate borrowings bear interest at an applicable margin of 1.25% to 2.0% over the base rate (which will be the greater of the prime rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, with a floor of 1.0% over one month LIBOR). LIBOR rate borrowings will bear interest at an applicable margin of 3.25% to 4.0% over the LIBOR rate. The applicable margin for base rate borrowings and LIBOR borrowings will depend on the average monthly revolving credit availability. The Revolver also has a commitment fee of 0.75% to 1.0%, depending on the average monthly revolving credit availability.

 

Borrowings under the Revolver are subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of certain securities, the incurrence of certain debt and the sale or other disposition of certain assets. The Revolver includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, as well as a financial covenant relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25. Negative covenants include, among other limitations, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments and changes in control.

 

On December 13, 2010, the Company entered into a First Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”), with KeyBank, which amended the Credit Agreement. Among other things, the Amendment Agreement: (i) increased the amount of the senior secured revolving line of credit from $25.0 million to $35.0 million; (ii) modified the definitions of certain terms contained in the Credit Agreement; (iii) amended certain borrowing covenants under the Credit Agreement to (a) increase the acceptable amount of additional Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) attributable to Existing Notes, unsecured Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and other unsecured Indebtedness from $25.0 million to $100.0 million and (b) exempt certain performance based contingent obligations related to prior acquisitions from the borrowing restrictions; and (iv) updated certain schedules to the Credit Agreement.

 

On February 7, 2011, the Company entered into a second amendment with KeyBank, which amended the Credit Agreement to allow for the acquisition of Herley and issuance of additional notes for the Herley acquisition. On March 28, 2011, the Company entered into a third amendment with KeyBank, which amended the Credit Agreement to increase the availability of letters of credit from $10.0 million to $15.0 million.

 

As of June 26, 2011, there were no outstanding borrowings on the Revolver and $8.6 million was outstanding on letters of credit resulting in net availability of $26.4 million. As of June 26, 2011, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Revolver.

 

On July 27, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement to increase the availability to $65.0 million, with an extension of the maturity date to July 27, 2016.  See Note 15 for further discussion of this amendment.

 

$60 Million Credit Facility

 

Prior to May 19, 2010, the Company had a revolving credit facility (the “Second Credit Facility”) with KeyBank, as administrative agent and lender, in the aggregate principal amount of $60.0 million, which was secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Second Credit Facility was entered into on March 3, 2010 and was comprised of a (i) $35.0 million term loan facility and (ii) $25.0 million revolving line of credit. Bank of America, N.A., was syndication agent and lender, and KeyBanc Capital Markets and Banc of America Securities, LLC acted as co-lead arrangers and book runners. On May 19, 2010, the outstanding balance of $54.5 million was paid in full. As a result of the refinance, the Company recorded an interest charge of approximately $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2010 relating to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs.

 

$85 Million Credit Facility

 

Prior to March 3, 2010, the Company had a credit facility of $85.0 million with KeyBank, as administrative agent (the “First Credit Facility”). This First Credit Facility provided for (i) two term loans consisting of a first lien term note of $50.0 million and a second lien term note of $10.0 million and (ii) a first lien $25.0 million revolving line of credit. The First Credit Facility was secured by the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. KeyBank held the revolving line of credit and the second lien term note. Field Point III, Ltd. and SPF CDO I, Ltd., both affiliates of Silverpoint Capital LP (“Silverpoint”), held the first lien term note.

 

On March 3, 2010 the outstanding balance of $55.4 million was paid in full as a result of the refinance described above. Approximately $25.0 million of the proceeds were used to pay in full the remaining balance on the first lien term note under the First Credit Facility held by Silverpoint, at par, with no prepayment penalties, pursuant to the settlement agreement that the Company entered into with Silverpoint in October 2009. As a result of the refinance, the Company recorded an interest charge of approximately $2.2 million in the first quarter of 2010 relating to the write-off of previously deferred financing costs.

The significant Level 2 observable inputs utilized to value the Company’s interest rate swaps are based upon the terminal value of the swaps. The terminal value of the interest rate swaps is calculated by comparing the fixed rate on the swap to the rate that would be received by entering into an identical swap at the rates in effect at the time of termination. The percentage difference in these two rates is then multiplied by the notional amount of the swap in each remaining period and discounted to present value. The major inputs utilized in the terminal value calculation are valuation date, original swap rate, replacement swap rate, and discount rate. The terminal value calculations are validated with the use of quotes of similar financial instruments from a nationally recognized financial reporting service.

 

The carrying value of the interest rate swaps is classified as other current liabilities as of December 26, 2010.   As of June 26, 2011, there were no outstanding interest rate swaps. Mark to market adjustments for the interest rate swaps are recorded in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 26, 2010 and June 26, 2011 are presented in the following table. The carrying value of all other financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term debt, approximated their estimated fair values at December 26, 2010 and June 26, 2011.

Note 11. Derivatives

 

The Company used derivative financial instruments, in particular, interest rate swaps, to reduce the Company’s exposure to certain previously outstanding variable rate debt. The primary objective of the interest rate swaps was to eliminate the variability of cash flows and interest rate risk for payments made on variable rate debt, the sole source of which is due to changes in the benchmark three month LIBOR interest rate. Changes in the cash flows of the interest rate swap were expected to exactly offset the changes in cash flows (i.e., changes in interest rate payments) attributable to fluctuations in the three month LIBOR on certain previously outstanding variable-rate debt.

 

The Company records derivatives at their fair value. The classification of gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair values of derivatives is dependent on the Company’s intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation as effective or ineffective. Adjustments to reflect changes in fair values of derivatives that the Company considers highly effective hedges are either reflected in earnings and largely offset by corresponding adjustments to the hedged items, or reflected net of income taxes in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings, to the extent these derivatives are effective hedges. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives that are attributable to the ineffective portion of the hedges, or of derivatives that are not considered to be highly effective hedges, if any, are immediately recognized in earnings. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding as of June 26, 2011.

 

The Company’s derivative financial instruments, which are cash flow hedges, were considered ineffective as a result of the interest rate floor that occurred with the first amendment of the First Credit Facility in March 2008. The effect of marking the derivative instruments to market for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 was income of $0.3 million for both periods. The fair value of the Company’s derivative liabilities as of December 26, 2010 and June 26, 2011 was $0.3 million and zero, respectively, and is carried in other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. See Note 10 for further discussion on the fair value measurements related to the Company’s derivative instruments.

 

Note 12. Significant Customers

 

Revenue from the U.S. Government, which includes foreign military sales, includes revenue from contracts for which the Company is the prime contractor as well as those for which the Company is a subcontractor and the ultimate customer is the U.S. Government. The KGS segment has substantial revenue from the U.S. Government. Sales to the U.S. Government amounted to approximately $85.8 million and $122.3 million, or 87% and 71%, of total revenue for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively, and approximately $144.1 million and $216.4 million, or 86% and 74%, of total revenue for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively.

 

Note 13. Segment Information

 

The Company operates in two principal business segments: Kratos Government Solutions and Public Safety and Security. The Company organizes its business segments based on the nature of the services offered. In the following table, total operating income of the business segments is reconciled to the corresponding consolidated amount. The reconciling item “Unallocated corporate expense, net” includes costs for certain stock-based compensation programs (including stock-based compensation costs for stock options, employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock units), the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, merger and acquisition expenses,  corporate costs not allocated to the operating segments, and other miscellaneous corporate activities. Transactions between segments are generally negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions similar to other government and commercial contracts.

 

Revenues, operating income, and assets generated or held by the Company’s current reporting segments for the three and six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 are as follows (in millions):

Note 14. Commitments and Contingencies

 

(a)           Legal Matters

 

As of June 26, 2011, there have been no material developments in the Company’s legal proceedings since December 26, 2010. For additional information regarding the Company’s legal proceedings, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” in the Form 10-K.

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business. The Company is currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that it believes will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

 

(b)           Warranty

 

Certain of the Company’s products, product finishes, and services are covered by a warranty to be free from defects in material and workmanship for periods ranging from one to ten years. Optional extended warranty contracts can also be purchased. The Company accrues a warranty liability for estimated costs to provide products, parts or services to repair or replace products in satisfaction of warranty obligations. Warranty revenues related to extended warranty contracts are amortized to income, over the life of the contract, using the straight-line method. Costs under extended warranty contracts are expensed as incurred.

 

The Company’s estimate of costs to service its warranty obligations is based upon historical experience and expectations of future conditions. To the extent that the Company experiences any changes in warranty claim activity or costs associated with servicing those claims, its warranty liability is adjusted accordingly.

Note 15. Subsequent Events

 

On May 15, 2011, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Integral Systems, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Integral Systems”), IRIS Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and IRIS Acquisition Sub LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger LLC”). On July 27, 2011, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Integral Systems, and Integral Systems continued as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The total aggregate purchase price is estimated to be $240.1 million which includes $37.2 million of Integral Systems’ debt paid at closing. The acquisition related disclosures required by Topic 805 cannot be made as the initial accounting for the business transaction is incomplete.  In addition, the disclosure requirements of Topic 805, when the initial accounting is incomplete, also cannot be made due to the timing of the acquisition and the related due date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  Key financial data such as the determination of the final acquisition price and the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is not yet available.

 

Integral Systems applies almost 30 years of experience to providing integrated technology solutions for the aerospace and communications markets. Since Integral Systems’ founding in 1982, it has supported more than 250 satellite missions for both commercial and government customers who perform communications, science, meteorology and earth resource applications and its systems are utilized worldwide. Integral Systems products support the commercial geostationary satellite operators and supports over 80% of U.S. unclassified space missions. It integrates leading edge technologies, algorithms and integration processes and a commercial model to bring efficiencies into the government market, which is its largest source of revenue.

 

Integral Systems is a leader in ground systems, signal processing and other areas of satellite command and control and is also at the cutting edge of advanced technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles, situational awareness, remote management and electronic warfare. These products and services enhance the Company’s portfolio of solutions for assuring the availability, reliability and security of mission critical systems for defense, intelligence and commercial operations.

 

The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition will be allocated to goodwill. The value of the goodwill represents the value the Company expects to be created by expanding its ability to bring mission critical communications and C5ISR solutions and to provide a broader array of advanced technologies for its customers.

 

At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), holders of Integral Systems common stock were entitled to receive (i) $5.00 in cash, without interest, and (ii) the issuance of 0.588 shares of the Company’s common stock for each share of Integral Systems common stock owned (the “Merger Consideration”).

 

In addition, at the Effective Time, each Integral Systems stock option that had an exercise price less than $13.00 per share were, if the holder thereof elected in writing, cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of the total number of shares of Integral Systems common stock subject to such in-the-money option, multiplied by the aggregate value of the excess, if any, of $13.00 over the exercise price per share subject to such option, less the amount of any tax withholding. Each Integral Systems stock option that had an exercise price equal to or greater than $13.00 per share and each Integral Systems in-the-money option of which the holder did not make the election described in the preceding sentence was converted into an option to purchase Kratos common stock, with (i) the number of shares subject to such option adjusted to equal the number of shares of Integral Systems common stock subject to such out-of-the-money option multiplied by 0.9559, rounded up to the nearest whole share, and (ii) the per share exercise price under each such option adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under such option by 0.9559, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each share of restricted stock granted under an Integral Systems equity plan or otherwise, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger was cancelled and the holder thereof was entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of the total number of restricted shares of Integral Systems common stock held by such holder, multiplied by $13.00, less the amount of any tax withholding. No fractional shares of the Company’s common stock were issued in the Merger. The Merger is intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

The Company entered into two transactions for the purpose of financing the acquisition of Integral Systems and providing capital for general corporate purposes. On July 27, 2011, the Company issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “July Notes”). The July Notes were issued at a premium of 105%, for an effective interest rate of approximately 8.9%. The gross proceeds of approximately $121.0 million, which includes an approximate $6.0 million issuance premium and excludes accrued interest, were used to finance, in part, the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Integral Systems, to refinance existing indebtedness of Integral Systems and its subsidiaries, to pay certain severance payments in connection with the Merger and to pay related fees and expenses. The July Notes and related guarantees are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of the Company and its existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The July Notes have substantially similar terms as the Existing Notes, except that the Existing Notes do not have transfer restrictions or registration rights.

Table of Contents

 

Concurrent with the completion of the offering of the July Notes on July 27, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) replacing the Company’s current Credit Agreement with KeyBank as administrative agent, lead arranger and sole book runner, and East West Bank and Bank of the West participating in the syndication for a five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $65.0 million (the “Amended Revolver”). The Amended Revolver has a maturity date of July 27, 2016 and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Amended Revolver has a first priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). On all other assets, the Amended Revolver has a second priority lien junior to the lien securing the Original Notes, Amended Notes and July Notes (collectively, the “Notes”).

 

The Amended Revolver may be increased to $100.0 million. The increases in the Amended Revolver are subject to the consent of the administrative agent, identification of one or more additional lenders willing to advance the increased amount of the Amended Revolver and compliance with covenants in the Notes. The amounts of borrowings that may be made under the Amended Revolver are based on a borrowing base and are comprised of specified percentages of eligible receivables, eligible unbilled receivables and eligible inventory. If the amount of borrowings outstanding under the Amended Revolver exceeds the borrowing base then in effect, the Company is required to repay such borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Amended Revolver includes $30.0 million of availability for letters of credit and $5.0 million of availability for swingline loans.

 

The Company may borrow funds under the Amended Revolver at a base rate based either on LIBOR or a base rate established by KeyBank. Base rate borrowings bear interest at an applicable margin of 1.00% to 1.75% over the base rate (which will be the greater of the prime rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, with a floor of 1.0% over one month LIBOR). LIBOR rate borrowings will bear interest at an applicable margin of 3.00% to 3.75% over the LIBOR rate. The applicable margin for base rate borrowings and LIBOR borrowings will depend on the average monthly revolving credit availability. The Amended Revolver also has a commitment fee of 0.50% to 0.75%, depending on the average monthly revolving credit availability.

 

Borrowings under the Amended Revolver are subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of certain securities, the incurrence of certain debt and the sale or other disposition of certain assets. The Amended Revolver includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, as well as a financial covenant relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25. Negative covenants include, among other limitations, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments and changes in control.

 

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

This report contains forward-looking statements. These statements relate to future events or our future financial performance. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or results may differ materially. Factors that may cause our results to differ include, but are not limited to: changes in the scope or timing of our projects; changes or cutbacks in spending or the appropriation of funding by the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Defense, which could cause delays or cancellations of key government contracts; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer contracts and agreements, or consolidation by or the loss of key customers; risks of adverse regulatory action or litigation; risks associated with debt leverage; failure to successfully consummate acquisitions or integrate acquired operations; and competition in the marketplace which could reduce revenues and profit margins.

 

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Moreover, neither we, nor any other person, assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Form 10-Q”) to conform such statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

 

Certain of the information set forth herein, including costs and expenses that exclude the impact of amortization expense, may be considered non-GAAP (as defined below) financial measures. We believe this information is useful to investors because it provides a basis for measuring the operating performance of our business and our cash flow, excluding the effect of items that would normally be included in the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures along with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating performance, capital resources and cash flow. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and non-financial measures as reported by Kratos may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts reported by other companies.

Our senior management team has significant acquisition experience. Since May 2010, we have acquired five companies, each as discussed below and on July 27, 2011, we completed the acquisition of Integral Systems, Inc. (“Integral Systems”).

 

Integral Systems, Inc.

 

On May 15, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), with Integral Systems, IRIS Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”), and IRIS Acquisition Sub LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and our wholly owned subsidiary. On July 27, 2011, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Integral Systems, and Integral Systems continued as the surviving corporation and as our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Merger”). The total aggregate purchase price is estimated to be $240.1 million which includes $37.2 million of Integral Systems’ debt paid at closing.

Integral Systems applies almost 30 years of experience to providing integrated technology solutions for the aerospace and communications markets. Since Integral Systems’ founding in 1982, it has supported more than 250 satellite missions for both commercial and government customers who perform communications, science, meteorology and earth resource applications and its systems are utilized worldwide. Integral Systems products support the commercial geostationary satellite operators and the company supports over 80% of U.S. unclassified space missions. It integrates leading edge technologies, algorithms and integration processes and a commercial model to bring efficiencies into the government market, which is its largest source of revenue.

These products and services enhance the Company’s portfolio of solutions for assuring the availability, reliability and security of mission critical systems for defense, intelligence and commercial operations.

 

At the effective time of the Merger, holders of Integral Systems common stock were entitled to receive (i) $5.00 in cash, without interest, and (ii) the issuance of 0.588 shares of our common stock for each share of Integral Systems common stock held by them immediately prior to the closing of the merger.

 

In addition, at the Effective Time, each Integral Systems stock option that had an exercise price less than $13.00 per share was, if the holder thereof had elected in writing, cancelled in exchange for an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of the total number of shares of Integral Systems common stock subject to such in-the-money option, multiplied by the aggregate value of the excess, if any, of $13.00 over the exercise price per share subject to such option, less the amount of any tax withholding. Each Integral Systems stock option that had an exercise price equal to or greater than $13.00 per share and each Integral Systems in-the-money option of which the holder did not make the election described in the preceding sentence was converted into an option to purchase Kratos common stock, with (i) the number of shares subject to such option adjusted to equal the number of shares of Integral Systems common stock subject to such out-of-the-money option multiplied by 0.9559, rounded up to the nearest whole share, and (ii) the per share exercise price under each such option adjusted by dividing the per share exercise price under such option by 0.9559, rounded up to the nearest whole cent. Each share of restricted stock granted under an Integral Systems equity plan or otherwise, whether vested or unvested, that was outstanding immediately prior to the completion of the Merger was cancelled and the holder thereof was entitled to receive an amount in cash, without interest, equal to the product of the total number of restricted shares of Integral Systems common stock held by such holder, multiplied by $13.00, less the amount of any tax withholding. No fractional shares of our common stock were issued in the Merger. The Merger was intended to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

 

Herley Industries, Inc.

 

On March 25, 2011, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of February 7, 2011 (the “Herley Merger Agreement”), by and among us, Lanza Acquisition Co. (“Herley Acquisition Sub”) and Herley Industries, Inc. (“Herley”), Herley Merger Sub acquired approximately 13.2 million shares of Herley common stock representing approximately 94% of the total outstanding shares of Herley common stock in a tender offer to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Herley common stock. On March 30, 2011, following purchases in a subsequent offering period, Herley Merger Sub was merged with and into Herley, with Herley continuing as a wholly owned subsidiary of ours. The shares of Herley common stock were purchased at a price of $19.00 per share. Accordingly, we paid approximately $245.5 million in cash consideration as of March 27, 2011 and as of April 15, 2011 had paid total aggregate cash consideration of $270.6 million in respect of the shares of Herley common stock and certain in-the-money options which were exercised upon the change in control.  In addition, upon completion of the merger, all unexercised options to purchase Herley common stock were assumed by us and converted into options to purchase our common stock, entitling the holders thereof to receive 1.3495 shares of our common stock for each share of Herley common stock underlying the options (the “Herley Options”). We assumed each Herley Option in accordance with the terms (as in effect as of the date of the Herley Merger Agreement) of the applicable Herley equity plan and the option agreement pursuant to which such Herley Option was granted. The options are exercisable for an aggregate of approximately 0.8 million shares of our common stock. All options were fully vested upon the change in control and the fair value of the options assumed was $1.9 million. The total aggregate consideration for the purchase of Herley was $272.6 million. In addition, the Company assumed change in control obligations of $4.0 million related to the transaction, the majority of which will be paid in 2011, and combined transaction expenses of $11.1 million.

 

On February 11, 2011, we completed the sale of approximately 4.9 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $13.25 per share in an underwritten public offering, and on March 25, 2011, Acquisition Co. Lanza Parent, our wholly owned subsidiary (the “Stage I Issuer”), issued 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $285.0 million (the

Table of Contents

 

“Stage I Notes”). The proceeds of the underwritten public offering and sale and issuance of the Stage I Notes were used to fund the acquisition of Herley. We received gross proceeds from the equity offering of approximately $64.8 million and after deducting underwriting and other offering expenses received approximately $61.1 million in net proceeds. The Stage I Notes were offered at a premium of 107%, for an effective interest rate of 8.5% and the gross proceeds were approximately $314.0 million, which includes approximately $20.0 million of issuance premium and $9.0 million of accrued interest.

Key Financial Statement Concepts

 

For a complete description of our business and a discussion of our critical accounting matters, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in the Form 10-K.

 

As of June 26, 2011, we consider the following factors to be important in understanding our financial statements.

 

KGS’ business with the U.S. Government and prime contractors is generally performed under cost reimbursable, fixed-price or time and materials contracts. Cost reimbursable contracts for the government provide for reimbursement of costs plus the payment of a fee. Some cost reimbursable contracts include incentive fees that are awarded based on performance on the contract. Under time and materials contracts, we are reimbursed for labor hours at negotiated hourly billing rates and reimbursed for travel and other direct expenses at actual costs plus applied general and administrative expenses. In accounting for our long-term contracts for production of products and services provided to the federal government and provided to our PSS customers under fixed price contracts, we utilize both cost-to-cost and units produced measures under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition. Under the units produced measure of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, sales are recognized as the units are accepted by the customer generally using sales values for units in accordance with the contract terms. We estimate profit as the difference between total estimated revenue and total estimated cost of a contract and recognize that profit over the life of the contract based on deliveries or as computed on the basis of the estimated final average unit costs plus profit. We classify contract revenues as product sales or service revenues depending upon the predominant attributes of the relevant underlying contracts.

 

Cost of revenues includes direct compensation, living, travel and benefit expenses for project-related personnel, payments to third-party subcontractors, cost of materials, project-related incentive compensation based upon the successful achievement of certain project performance goals, allocation of overhead costs and other direct project-related expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses include compensation and benefits for corporate service employees and similar costs for billable employees whose time and expenses cannot be assigned to a project (underutilization costs), expendable computer software and equipment, facilities expenses and other operating expenses not directly related and/or allocated to projects. General and administrative costs include all corporate and administrative functions that support existing operations and provide infrastructure to facilitate our future growth. Additionally, our sales personnel and senior corporate executives have, as part of their compensation packages, periodic and annual bonus/commission incentives based on the attainment of specified performance goals.

 

We manage and assess the performance of our businesses based on our performance on individual contracts and programs obtained generally from government organizations with consideration given to the Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates described in the Form 10-K. Due to the Federal Acquisition Regulation rules that govern our business, most types of costs are allowable, and we do not focus on individual cost groupings (such as cost of sales or general and administrative costs) as much as we do on total contract costs, which are a key factor in determining contract operating income. As a result, in evaluating our operating performance, we look primarily at changes in sales and service revenues, and operating income, including the effects of significant changes in operating income. Changes in contract estimates are reviewed monthly on a contract-by-contract basis, and are revised

periodically throughout the life of the contract such that adjustments to profit resulting from revisions are made cumulative to the date of the revision in accordance with GAAP. Significant management judgments and estimates, including the estimated costs to complete the project, which determine the project’s percentage completed, must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if management makes different judgments or utilizes different estimates.

 

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended June 27, 2010 to the Three Months Ended June 26, 2011

 

Revenues.  Revenues increased $72.0 million from $99.1 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to $171.1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011. KGS segment revenue increased by $53.7 million. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of DEI, SCT, and Herley which had combined revenues of $60.1 million and a full quarter of revenue from Gichner which resulted in increased revenue of $11.8 million which was partially offset by the completion of acquired small business contracts, impact of funding and contract awards as a result of the continuing resolution, and in-sourcing of our employees by the U.S. Government. PSS segment revenue increased by $18.3 million which was primarily due to the acquisition of HBE which had revenues of $16.6 million as well as organic growth of $1.7 million in our existing PSS business as a result of increased demand for security and surveillance systems. Revenues by operating segment for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Product sales increased $67.8 million from $28.0 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to $95.8 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011.  As a percentage of total revenue, product sales were 28% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to 56% for the three months ended June 26, 2011.  This increase was primarily related to the acquisitions of Herley, DEI, and SCT. Service revenues increased by $4.2 million from $71.1 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to $75.3 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011. The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of HBE partially offset by the reductions in service revenue in the KGS segment as discussed above.

 

Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues increased from $79.2 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to $125.7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011. The $46.5 million increase in cost of revenues was primarily a result of the acquisitions of DEI, SCT, HBE, and Herley which had combined cost of revenues of $49.1 million and increases in cost of revenues of $10.8 million related to a full three months of costs for Gichner, offset by reductions in cost of revenues in our KGS segment as a result of decreased revenue discussed above. Gross margin increased from 20.1% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to 26.5% for the three months ended June 26, 2011. Margins on services increased for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to June 26, 2011, from 21.0% to 23.0%, respectively, due primarily to the acquisition of HBE. Margins on products increased for the three months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to June 26, 2011 from 17.9% to 29.3%, respectively, as a result of the DEI, SCT, and Herley acquisitions. Margins in the KGS segment increased from 20.6% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to 26.2% for the three months ended June 26, 2011 primarily as a result of the higher gross margins from our DEI, SCT and Herley acquisitions. Margins in the PSS segment decreased from 34.7% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to 28.3% for the three months ended June 26, 2011 as a result of the mix of revenue.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased $19.9 million from $13.8 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to $33.7 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisitions of DEI, SCT, HBE, and Herley and a full three months of expenses for Gichner. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased from 13.9% to 19.7%. Excluding amortization of intangibles of $2.0 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and amortization of intangibles of $9.2 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011, SG&A increased as a percentage of revenues from 11.9% to 14.3% for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively, reflecting the SG&A of our acquisitions of Herley and HBE which have higher SG&A as a percentage of revenues and corresponding higher gross margin percentages.

 

Merger and Acquisition Expenses and Other.  Merger and acquisition expenses for the three months ended June 27, 2010 were $1.1 million, all of which were related to the acquisition of Gichner.  Merger and acquisition expenses for the three months ended June 26, 2011 were $1.8 million which were primarily related to our acquisitions of Herley and Integral Systems.

 

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses increased from $0.5 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011 primarily related to the acquisition of Herley.

 

Other Expense, Net.  Other expense, net increased from $5.1 million to $13.1 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. The increase in expense of $8.0 million is primarily related to a $7.6 million increase in interest expense as a result of the Existing Notes issued in May 2010 and March 2011, primarily to fund the Gichner and Herley acquisitions.

Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes.  We recorded an income tax benefit of $11.7 million on a loss of $0.6 million before income taxes for the three months ended June 27, 2010. The benefit of $11.7 million was primarily related to the establishment of deferred tax liabilities, in acquisition accounting, of approximately $16.2 million for the increase in the financial statement basis of the acquired assets of Gichner. As a result of the ability to recognize deferred tax assets for these deferred tax liabilities, the Company released valuation allowances against its deferred tax assets and recognized an income tax benefit of $12.2 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010.

 

We recorded an income tax expense of $0.9 million, or a negative 20.15% rate, on loss of $4.4 million before income taxes for the three months ended June 26, 2011. The expense of $0.9 million was primarily related to state and foreign taxes.

 

Income (loss) from Discontinued Operations.  Loss from discontinued operations was $0.4 million and income from discontinued operations was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. The loss of $0.4 million for the three months ended June 27, 2010 was primarily due to the impairment charge of $0.2 million to reflect the terms of the sale of our Southeast division of our PSS segment which occurred in August 2010 and operating losses for this division.  The income of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011 was primarily related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for items that had previously been reserved. Revenues generated by these businesses were approximately $0.8 million and zero for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. Loss before taxes was a loss of $0.2 million, excluding the impairment charge, for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and income before taxes was $0.1 million for the three months ended June 26, 2011.

 

Comparison of Results for the Six Months Ended June 27, 2010 to the Six Months Ended June 26, 2011

 

Revenues.  Revenues increased $126.1 million from $167.8 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to $ 293.9 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011. KGS segment revenue increased by $89.6 million. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of DEI, SCT, and Herley which had combined revenues of $66.9 million and a full six months of revenue from Gichner which resulted in increased revenue of $45.8 million which was partially offset by the completion of acquired small business contracts, impact of funding and contract awards as a result of the continuing resolution, and in-sourcing of our employees by the U.S. Government. PSS segment revenue increased by $36.5 million which was primarily the due to the acquisition of HBE which had revenues of $33.4 million as well as organic growth of $3.1 million in our existing PSS business as a result of increased demand for security and surveillance systems. Revenues by operating segment for the three months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011 are as follows (dollars in millions):

Product sales increased $106.7 million from $32.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to $138.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011.  As a percentage of total revenue, product sales were 19% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to 47% for the six months ended June 26, 2011.  This increase was primarily related to the acquisitions of Gichner, DEI, SCT and Herley. Service revenues increased by $19.4 million from $135.7 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to $155.1 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011.  The increase was primarily related to the acquisition of HBE partially offset by the reductions in service revenue in the KGS segment as discussed above.

 

Cost of Revenues.  Cost of revenues increased from $132.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to $221.1 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011. The $88.5 million increase in cost of revenues was primarily a result of the acquisitions of DEI, SCT, HBE, and Herley which had combined cost of revenues of $65.1 million and increases in cost of revenues of $38.6 million related to a full six months of costs for Gichner offset by reductions in cost of revenues in our KGS segment as a result of decreased revenue as discussed above. Gross margin increased from 21.0% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to 24.8% for the six months ended June 26, 2011. Margins on services increased for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to June 26, 2011, from 21.7% to 23.7%, respectively, due primarily to the acquisition of HBE. Margins on products increased for the six months ended June 27, 2010 as compared to June 26, 2011 from 17.8% to 25.9%, respectively, as a result of the DEI, SCT, and Herley acquisitions. Margins in the KGS segment increased from 21.6% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to 24.0% for the six months ended June 26, 2011 primarily as a result of the higher gross margins from our DEI, SCT and Herley acquisitions. Margins in the PSS segment decreased from 34.0% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to 28.3% for the six months ended June 26, 2011 as a result of the mix of revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  SG&A Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $28.4 million from $24.9 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to $53.3 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011. The increase was primarily a result of the acquisitions of DEI, SCT, HBE, and Herley and a full six months of expenses for Gichner. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A increased from 14.8% to 18.1%. Excluding amortization of intangibles of $3.3 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and amortization of intangibles of $12.6 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011, SG&A increased as a percentage of revenues from 12.9% to 13.8% for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively, reflecting the SG&A of our acquisitions of Herley and HBE which have higher SG&A as a percentage of revenues and corresponding higher gross margin percentages.

 

Merger and Acquisition Expenses.  Merger and acquisition expenses increased $6.5 million from $1.1 million to $7.6 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively.  Acquisition expenses in 2010 related primarily to our acquisition of Gichner on May 19, 2010. Merger and acquisition expenses in 2011 are primarily related to the acquisitions of Herley and Integral Systems.

 

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses increased from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 to $1.8 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011 primarily related to the acquisition of Herley.

 

Other Expense, Net.  Other expense, net increased from $8.8 million to $19.5 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. The increase in expense of $10.7 million is primarily related to an increase in interest expense as a result of the Existing Notes issued in May 2010 and March 2011, primarily to fund the Gichner and Herley acquisitions.

 

Benefit for Income Taxes.  We recorded an income tax benefit of $11.4 million on a loss of $0.7 million before income taxes for the six months ended June 27, 2010. The benefit of $11.4 million was primarily related to the establishment of deferred tax liabilities, in acquisition accounting, of approximately $16.2 million for the increase in the financial statement basis of the acquired assets of Gichner. As a result of the ability to recognize deferred tax assets for these deferred tax liabilities, the Company released valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets and recognized an income tax benefit of $12.2 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010.  This benefit was partially offset by current state taxes of $0.8 million.

 

We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.3 million, or a 3.2% rate, on loss of $9.4 million before income taxes for the six months ended June 26, 2011. The benefit of $0.3 million was primarily related to the income tax refund claim of $2.1 million that was settled with the IRS offset by state and foreign income taxes of $1.6 million, which cannot be offset by our net operating losses.

 

Income from Discontinued Operations.  Income from discontinued operations improved from $0.2 million to $0.4 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. In 2010, the income was primarily due to a reduction in liabilities as a result of the final settlement of sales and use tax liabilities related to our discontinued wireless deployment business partially offset by losses in the Southeast division of PSS. Revenues generated by these businesses were approximately $1.9 million and zero for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, respectively. Excluding an impairment charge in 2010 losses before taxes were $0.4 million for the six months ended June 27, 2010 and income before taxes was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 26, 2011. For the six months ended June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, we recognized a tax benefit of $0.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively, primarily related to the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain foreign tax contingencies from our discontinued wireless business.

 

Backlog

 

As of June 27, 2010 and June 26, 2011, our backlog was approximately $680 million and $932 million, respectively, of which $252 million was funded in 2010 and $383 million was funded in 2011. Backlog is our estimate of the amount of revenue we expect to realize over the remaining life of awarded contracts and task orders that we have in hand as of the measurement date. Our total backlog consists of funded and unfunded backlog. We define funded backlog as estimated future revenue under government contracts and task orders for which funding has been appropriated by Congress and authorized for expenditure by the applicable agency, plus our estimate of the future revenue we expect to realize from our commercial contracts that are under firm orders. Our funded backlog does not include the full potential value of our contracts, because Congress often appropriates funds to be used by an agency for a particular program of a contract on a yearly or quarterly basis, even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term and all or some of the work to be performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until Congress makes subsequent appropriation and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

 

Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts and task orders for which either funding has not yet been appropriated or expenditure has not yet been authorized. Our total backlog does not include estimates of revenue from government-wide acquisition contracts or General Services Administration schedules beyond awarded or funded task orders, but our unfunded backlog does include estimates of revenue beyond awarded or funded task orders for other types of indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, based on our experience under such contracts and similar contracts. Unfunded backlog also includes priced options, which consist of the aggregate contract revenues expected to be earned as a result of a customer exercising an option period that has been specifically defined in the original contract award.

Contracts undertaken by us may extend beyond one year. Accordingly, portions are carried forward from one year to the next as part of backlog. Because many factors affect the scheduling of projects, no assurance can be given as to when revenue will be realized on projects included in our backlog. Although funded backlog represents only business which is considered to be firm, we cannot guarantee that cancellations or scope adjustments will not occur. The majority of funded backlog represents contracts under the terms of which cancellation by the customer would entitle us to all or a portion of our costs incurred and potential fees.

 

Management believes that year-to-year comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future revenues. The actual timing of receipt of revenues, if any, on projects included in backlog could change because many factors affect the scheduling of projects. In addition, cancellation or adjustments to contracts may occur. Backlog is typically subject to large variations from quarter to quarter as existing contracts are renewed or new contracts are awarded. Additionally, all U.S. Government contracts included in backlog, whether or not funded, may be terminated at the convenience of the U.S. Government.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

As of June 26, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $100.4 million compared with cash and cash equivalents of $10.8 million as of December 26, 2010. Our total debt increased by $292.0 million, from $226.7 million on December 26, 2010 to $518.7 million on June 26, 2011. The increase in debt was the result of an additional offering of our 10% Senior Secured Notes in the aggregate amount of $285.0 million issued at a premium of 107% in connection with the acquisition of Herley and debt of $7.5 million assumed in the Herley transaction that is related to a foreign loan.

 

Our operating cash flow is used to finance trade accounts receivable, fund capital expenditures and our ongoing operations, service our debt and make strategic acquisitions. Financing trade accounts receivable is necessary because, on average, our customers do not pay us as quickly as we pay our vendors and employees for their goods and services. Cash from continuing operations is primarily derived from our customer contracts in progress and associated changes in working capital components.

Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 27, 2010 includes $1.3 million in acquisition costs paid related to the Gichner acquisition. Excluding these acquisition costs paid, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $7.9 million.

 

Cash used in operating activities from continuing operations for the six months ended June 26, 2011 includes $13.9 million in merger and acquisition costs paid related to our recent acquisitions. Excluding these acquisition costs paid, we generated cash flow from operating activities of $3.8 million. Our cash flows from operating activities were negatively impacted by the prolonged continuing resolution that the U.S. Government operated under from October 2010 through April 15, 2011 when the 2011 budget was enacted.  The protracted negotiations to enact a 2011 budget resulted in delays in contract awards, contract funding, and increased work performed prior to contract funding.  The continuing resolution also contributed to the increase in our Days Sales Outstanding from 75 days (excluding the recent impact of the acquisition of HBE) at December 26, 2010 to 87 days at June 26, 2011.

On May 19, 2010, we purchased Gichner for $132.9 million net of cash acquired of $0.1 million.

 

On March 25, 2011, we completed our initial tender offer for all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Herley. On that day, we paid $245.5 million for approximately 12.9 million shares of Herley common stock which excluded 0.3 million shares that had been tendered via a notice of guaranteed delivery. Through purchases in a subsequent offering period and a short-form merger, the Company completed its acquisition of Herley on March 30, 2011, and paid approximately $25.1 million in April 2011 for the balance of the outstanding shares of 1.2 million and the Herley Options that were exercised as a result of the change in control. See Note 2 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.  In March 2011, we also paid $0.3 million to the SCT shareholders as SCT’s indemnification obligations as set forth in the SCT Agreement were met.

During the six months ended June 27, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was primarily related to the proceeds from the offering of the Original Notes (as defined below) in the aggregate amount of $225.0 million, which proceeds were then used to finance the acquisition of Gichner and refinance our senior secured credit facility with KeyBank and Bank of America.

 

As described immediately below, during the six months ended June 26, 2011, we issued common stock and additional notes to fund the acquisition of Herley.

 

On February 11, 2011, we sold approximately 4.9 million shares of our common stock at a purchase price of $13.25 per share in an underwritten public offering. We received gross proceeds from the equity offering of approximately $64.8 million and after deducting underwriting and other offering expenses received approximately $61.1 million in net proceeds.

 

On March 25, 2011, we issued the Stage I Notes. The Stage I Notes were offered at a premium of 107%, for an effective interest rate of 8.5% and the gross proceeds were approximately $314.0 million, which includes approximately $20.0 million of issuance premium and $9.0 million of accrued interest. We paid $14.6 million in debt issuance costs related to this offering.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

Issuance of 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017

 

On May 19, 2010, we entered into an Indenture with the guarantors set forth therein and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Indenture”) to issue 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017. We have issued notes of $225.0 million (the “Original Notes”) and $285.0 million (the “Additional Notes” and, together with the Original Notes, the “Existing Notes”) under this Indenture, collectively referred to herein as Notes. These Existing Notes were used to fund acquisitions and for general corporate purposes.  They are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The holders of the Existing Notes have a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantors, except accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property) where the holders of the senior secured borrowings have a second priority lien to the $35.0 million credit facility described below.

 

We pay interest on the Existing Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The Existing Notes include customary covenants and events of default as well as a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 2.0:1.0 for the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy, insolvency, material judgments and changes in control. As of June 26, 2011, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures related to each respective Existing Notes described below.

 

On or after June 1, 2014, we may redeem some or all of the Existing Notes at 105% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through June 1, 2015, 102.5% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes through June 1, 2016 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such notes thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. Prior to June 1, 2013, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes at 110% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings. In addition, we may, at our option, redeem some or all of the Existing Notes at any time prior to June 1, 2014, by paying a “make whole” premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

 

Original Notes - $225 Million 10% Senior Secured Note Offering, May 2010

 

On May 19, 2010, we issued our 10% Senior Secured Notes due June 1, 2017 in the aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million in an unregistered offering pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and on August 11, 2010, we completed an exchange offer for such notes pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance thereof.  The proceeds were primarily used to finance the acquisitions of Gichner, DEI and SCT.

 

Additional Notes - $285 Million 10% Senior Secured Note Offering, March 2011

 

On March 25, 2011, the Stage I Issuer issued $285.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Stage I Notes pursuant to an Indenture, dated March 25, 2011, by and among the Stage I Issuer, the guarantors named therein and a party thereto, and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee and collateral agent (the “Stage I Indenture”). The Stage I Issuer received approximately $314.0 million in cash proceeds from the offering, which includes an approximate $20.0 million of issuance premiums and $9.0 million of accrued interest, which proceeds were used, together with our cash contributions of $45.0 million, to finance the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Herley, to pay related fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The effective interest rate on the Additional Notes is 8.5%.  In connection with the purchase and sale of the Stage I Notes, we entered into a registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the Stage I Notes. On April 4, 2011, (i) the Stage I Issuer merged with and into Kratos, and we assumed all the assets and liabilities of the Stage I Issuer including, pursuant to a supplemental indenture to the Stage I Indenture, all the obligations of the Stage I Issuer under the Stage I Indenture, the Stage I Notes and the related Collateral Agreements and (ii) we became the issuer of the Stage I Notes under the Stage I Indenture and pledgor under such Collateral Agreements. On April 15, 2011, we redeemed all of the Stage I Notes by issuing in exchange therefore the Additional Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Stage I Notes. On July 29, 2011, we completed an exchange offer for the Additional Notes pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance thereof.

 

On May 15, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Integral Systems, IRIS Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary, and IRIS Acquisition Sub LLC, a Maryland limited liability company and our wholly owned subsidiary. On July 27, 2011, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Integral Systems, and Integral Systems continued as the surviving corporation and as our wholly owned subsidiary. The total aggregate purchase price is estimated to be $236.3 million which includes $37.2 million of Integral Systems debt paid at closing.

Table of Contents

 

We entered into two transactions for the purpose of financing the acquisition of Integral Systems and providing capital for general corporate purposes. On July 27, 2011, we issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 10% Senior Secured Notes due 2017 (the “July Notes”). The July Notes were issued at a premium of 105%, for an effective interest rate of approximately 8.9%. The gross proceeds of approximately $121.0 million, which includes an approximate $6.0 million of issuance premium and excludes accrued interest, will be used to finance, in part, the cash portion of the purchase price for the acquisition of Integral Systems, to refinance existing indebtedness of Integral Systems and its subsidiaries, to pay certain severance payments in connection with the Merger and to pay related fees and expenses. The July Notes and related guarantees are secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and our existing and future domestic restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The July Notes have substantially similar terms as the Existing Notes, except that the Existing Notes do not have transfer restrictions or registration rights.

 

Concurrent with the completion of the offering of the July Notes on July 27, 2011 we entered into an amended and restated Credit and Security Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”) replacing our current Credit Agreement with KeyBank as administrative agent, lead arranger and sole book runner, East West Bank and Bank of the West participating in the syndication for a five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the amount of $65.0 million (the “Amended Revolver”). The Amended Revolver has a maturity date of July 27, 2016 and is secured by a lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the guarantors thereunder, subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens. The Amended Revolver has a first priority lien on accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). On all other assets, the Amended Revolver has a second priority lien junior to the lien securing the Original Notes, Additional Notes and July Notes (collectively, the “Notes”).

 

The Amended Revolver may be increased to $100.0 million. The increases in the Amended Revolver are subject to the consent of the administrative agent, identification of one or more additional lenders willing to advance the increased amount of the Amended Revolver and compliance with covenants in the Notes. The amounts of borrowings that may be made under the Amended Revolver are based on a borrowing base and are comprised of specified percentages of eligible receivables, eligible unbilled receivables and eligible inventory. If the amount of borrowings outstanding under the Amended Revolver exceeds the borrowing base then in effect, then we are required to repay such borrowings in an amount sufficient to eliminate such excess. The Amended Revolver includes $30.0 million of availability for letters of credit and $5.0 million of availability for swingline loans.

 

We may borrow funds under the Amended Revolver at a base rate based either on LIBOR or a base rate established by KeyBank. Base rate borrowings bear interest at an applicable margin of 1.00% to 1.75% over the base rate (which will be the greater of the prime rate or 0.5% over the federal funds rate, with a floor of 1.0% over one month LIBOR). LIBOR rate borrowings will bear interest at an applicable margin of 3.00% to 3.75% over the LIBOR rate. The applicable margin for base rate borrowings and LIBOR borrowings will depend on the average monthly revolving credit availability. The Amended Revolver also has a commitment fee of 0.50% to 0.75%, depending on the average monthly revolving credit availability.

 

Borrowings under the Amended Revolver are subject to mandatory prepayment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance of certain securities, the incurrence of certain debt and the sale or other disposition of certain assets. The Amended Revolver includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, as well as a financial covenant relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.25. Negative covenants include, among other limitations, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy and insolvency, material judgments and changes in control.

 

Debt Acquired in Acquisition of Herley

 

We assumed a $10.0 million ten-year term loan with a bank in Israel that Herley entered into on September 16, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The balance as of June 26, 2011 was $7.2 million and the loan is payable in quarterly installments of $0.3 million plus interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5%. The loan agreement contains various financial covenants including a minimum net equity covenant as defined in the loan agreement. We were in compliance with the financial covenants as of June 26, 2011.

 

On October 19, 2001, Herley received $3.0 million in proceeds from the East Hempfield Township Industrial Development Authority Variable Rate Demand/Fixed Rate Revenue Bonds Series of 2001 (the “IDA Bonds”). The IDA Bonds were due in varying annual installments through October 1, 2021. Proceeds from the IDA Bonds were used for the construction of a 15,000 square foot expansion of Herley’s facilities in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and for manufacturing equipment. The IDA Bonds were paid in full on May 2, 2011.

Contingent Consideration and Liabilities in Connection with Acquisitions and Divestitures

 

In connection with our business acquisitions, we have agreed to make additional future payments to sellers based on final purchase price adjustments and the expiration of certain indemnification obligations. Pursuant to the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, such amounts are recorded at fair value on the acquisition date.

 

Upon completion of the Gichner transaction, we deposited $8.1 million of the purchase price into an escrow account as security for Gichner’s indemnification obligations as set forth in the Gichner Agreement. In addition, the Gichner Agreement provided that the purchase price would be (i) increased on a dollar for dollar basis if the working capital on the closing date (as defined in the Gichner Agreement) exceeded $17.5 million or (ii) decreased on a dollar for dollar basis if the working capital was less than $17.1 million. We and Altus Capital Partners, Inc., the sellers’ representative under the Gichner Agreement, have agreed to a working capital adjustment of $0.6 million owed to us. In May 2011 we paid $7.1 million of the holdback and will pay the remaining amount of the holdback owed of $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2011.

 

The DEI Agreement provides that upon achievement of certain cash receipts, revenue, EBITDA and backlog amounts in 2010, 2011 and 2012, we shall pay the former stockholders of DEI certain additional contingent consideration. We have paid $0.4 million related to contingent consideration and the potential amount of contingent consideration that may be payable by us in the future under the DEI Agreement is between zero and $8.0 million. The contingent consideration will be reduced in the event certain anticipated cash receipts are not collected within agreed upon time periods. As of June 26, 2011, $2.6 million of these cash receipts have been collected and future payments could be reduced by approximately $6.0 million if the final cash receipt is not collected.

 

The SCT Agreement provides that upon achievement of certain EBITDA amounts in 2011, 2012 and 2013, we shall pay the former stockholders of SCT certain additional performance-based consideration. The potential undiscounted amount of all future contingent consideration that may be payable by us under the SCT Agreement is between zero and $3.5 million.

 

There were no contingent liabilities associated with the acquisition of HBE other than contingent liabilities of $0.4 million associated with HBE’s acquisition of Professional Security Technologies LLC (“PST”) in September, 2010. The agreement with PST provides that the former shareholders of PST receive a 5% payment for achievement of revenue amounts from certain customers for the period from June 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012.

 

Other Liquidity Matters

 

At June 26, 2011, we had working capital of $224.1 million compared to $66.0 million at December 26, 2010. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of 4.9 million shares of our common stock and the issuance of the Additional Notes in the amount of $285.0 million, offset by cash paid of $248.9 million to acquire Herley, net of cash acquired.

 

We believe that our cash on hand, together with funds available under the Amended Revolver and cash expected to be generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital and other cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

 

We may also pursue business acquisitions and other transactions designed to expand our business, which we would expect to fund from borrowings under the Amended Revolver, other future indebtedness or, if appropriate, the private and/or public sale or exchange of our debt or equity securities.

 

As discussed in Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K, our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are external to our control.

 

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates

 

The foregoing discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

For the six months ended June 26, 2011, there have been no significant changes to our Critical Accounting Policies or Estimates compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K with the following exception:

 

37



Table of Contents

 

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Comprehensive income consists of (i) net income and (ii) other related gains and losses affecting stockholders’ equity that, under GAAP, are excluded from net income. For the Company, other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

New accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three month period ended June 26, 2011 have not had or are not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

 

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our outstanding debt. We are exposed to interest rate risk primarily through our borrowing activities under our Amended Revolver and ten-year term note discussed under Contractual Obligations and Commitments above. Based on our current outstanding balances, a 1% change in the LIBOR rate would not impact our financial position. We manage exposure to these risks through our operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for speculation or for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments were contracted with investment grade counterparties to reduce exposure to nonperformance on our prior credit facilities.

 

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 26, 2011 were $100.4 million and are primarily invested in money market interest bearing accounts. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average interest rate on our money market cash investments and short-term investments would have had no material effect on our net loss for the six months ended June 26, 2011.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 26, 2011.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 26, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

 

As of June 26, 2011, there have been no material developments in our legal proceedings since December 26, 2010. For additional information regarding our legal proceedings, see Item 3, “Legal Proceedings” in the Form 10-K.

 

38



Table of Contents

 

From time to time, we may become involved in various claims, lawsuits and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. We are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings or claims that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

 

While we attempt to identify, manage, and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. Item 1A of the Form 10-K describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, projected results, and future prospects. We do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Form 10-K, except as follows:

 

Risks Related to Our Indebtedness

 

We significantly increased our leverage in connection with the financing of recent acquisitions and we have substantial indebtedness, which could have a negative impact on our financing options and liquidity position and have adverse effects on our business.

 

In connection with the acquisition of Herley, we incurred $285.0 million of indebtedness and on July 27, 2011 in connection with the acquisition of Integral Systems, we incurred an additional $115.0 million of indebtedness. As of June 26, 2011, we had approximately $518.7 million of total indebtedness outstanding. As a result of this increased indebtedness, our interest payment obligations will increase significantly. The degree to which we will be leveraged could have adverse effects on our business, including the following:

 

·                  it may make it difficult for us to satisfy our obligations under the Notes and our other indebtedness and contractual and commercial commitments;

·                  it may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate;

·                  it may require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

·                  it may restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;

·                  it may place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt;

·                  it may limit our ability to borrow additional funds;

·                  it may prevent us from raising the funds necessary to repurchase the Notes or other outstanding notes tendered to us if there is a change of control, which would constitute a default under the Indenture and under the Amended Revolver; and

·                  it may decrease our ability to compete effectively or operate successfully under adverse economic and industry conditions.

 

Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend upon our future performance, which may be subject to financial, business and other factors affecting our operations, many of which are beyond our control.

 

Despite our current indebtedness level, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

 

We may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the Indenture and the Amended Credit Agreement governing the Amended Revolver will limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of qualifications and exceptions and, under certain circumstances, debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. For example, indebtedness in excess of $25.0 million may be incurred under the Amended Revolver in reliance on the $15.0 million general debt basket as well as the fixed charge debt incurrence test, which additional indebtedness may be secured subject to certain conditions. In addition, the Indenture and the Amended Credit Agreement governing the Amended Revolver will not prevent us from incurring obligations that do not constitute indebtedness. To the extent that we incur additional indebtedness or such other obligations, the risks associated with our substantial leverage described above, including our possible inability to service our debt, would increase.

Table of Contents

 

Our debt service obligations may adversely affect our cash flow.

 

A higher level of indebtedness increases the risk that we may default on our debt obligations. We may not be able to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the interest on our debt, and future working capital, borrowings or equity financing may not be available to pay or refinance such debt. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to pay the interest on our debt, we may have to delay or curtail our operations.

 

Our ability to generate cash flows from operations and to make scheduled payments on our indebtedness will depend on our future financial performance. Our future financial performance will be affected by a range of economic, competitive and business factors that we cannot control, such as those described in the Form 10-K under the heading “Risks Related to Our Business Currently and Following the Pending Acquisition of Herley” and under the heading “Risks Related to the Combined Company if the Merger Is Completed” in the Registration Statement on Form S-4 that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 7, 2011 (File no. 333-174745). A significant reduction in operating cash flows resulting from changes in economic conditions, increased competition or other events beyond our control could increase the need for additional or alternative sources of liquidity and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, prospects and our ability to service our debt and other obligations. If we are unable to service our indebtedness, we will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as reducing capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. These alternative strategies may not be affected on satisfactory terms, if at all, and they may not yield sufficient funds to make required payments on the Notes and our other indebtedness.

 

If for any reason we are unable to meet our debt service and repayment obligations, we would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing our debt, which would allow our creditors at that time to declare certain outstanding indebtedness to be due and payable, which would in turn trigger cross-acceleration or cross-default rights between the relevant agreements. In addition, our lenders could compel us to apply all of our available cash to repay our borrowings or they could prevent us from making payments on the Notes. If the amounts outstanding under the Notes, the Amended Revolver, and any other indebtedness, were to be accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to the lenders or to our other debt holders.

 

A portion of our business is conducted through foreign subsidiaries and the failure to generate sufficient cash flow from these subsidiaries, or otherwise repatriate or receive cash from these subsidiaries, could result in our inability to repay our indebtedness, including the Notes.

 

As of June 26, 2011, approximately 5% of our consolidated assets were held by foreign subsidiaries. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations (including those relating to the Notes) with cash from foreign subsidiaries will depend upon the results of operations of these subsidiaries and may be subject to legal, contractual or other restrictions and other business considerations. In addition, dividend and interest payments to us from the foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, which would reduce the amount of funds we receive from such foreign subsidiaries. Dividends and other distributions from our foreign subsidiaries may also be subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates and legal and other restrictions on repatriation, which could further reduce the amount of funds we receive from such foreign subsidiaries.

 

In general, when an entity in a foreign jurisdiction repatriates cash to the U.S., the amount of such cash is treated as a dividend taxable at current U.S. tax rates. Accordingly, upon the distribution of cash to us from our foreign subsidiaries, we will be subject to U.S. income taxes. Although foreign tax credits may be available to reduce the amount of the additional tax liability, these credits may be limited and only offset the tax paid in the foreign jurisdiction, not the excess of the U.S. tax rate over the foreign tax rate. Therefore, to the extent that we must use cash generated in foreign jurisdictions to make principal or interest payments on the Notes, there may be a cost associated with repatriating the cash to the U.S.

 

The Indenture and the Amended Credit Agreement governing our Amended Revolver impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and our subsidiaries that may prevent us and our subsidiaries from pursuing certain business opportunities and restrict our ability to operate our business.

 

The Indenture and the Amended Credit Agreement governing our Amended Revolver contain covenants that restrict our and our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

·                  incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred stock;

·                  pay dividends or make other distributions on, or redeem or purchase, any equity interests or make other restricted payments;

·                  make certain acquisitions or investments;

·                  create or incur liens;

·                  transfer or sell assets;

·                  incur restrictions on the payments of dividends or other distributions from our restricted subsidiaries;

·                  enter into transactions with affiliates; and

·                  consummate a merger or consolidation or sell, assign, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.

Our Amended Revolver also requires us to comply with specified financial ratios, including a borrowing base availability and minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. Our ability to comply with these covenants will likely be affected by many factors, including events beyond our control, and we may not be able to satisfy those requirements. Our failure to comply with our debt-related obligations could result in an event of default under our other indebtedness and the acceleration of our other indebtedness, in whole or in part, could result in an event of default under the Indenture.

 

The restrictions contained in the Indenture and in the Amended Credit Agreement governing the Amended Revolver will also limit our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to plan for or react to market conditions, meet capital needs or otherwise restrict our respective activities or business plans and adversely affect the ability to finance our respective operations, enter into acquisitions or to engage in other business activities that would be in our respective interests.

On August 4, 2011, we entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to the employment agreements (the “Employment Agreements”) with Eric DeMarco, our Chief Executive Officer, Deanna Lund, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Laura Siegal, our Vice President, Controller and Treasurer (the “Executives”). The Amendments generally update the Employment Agreements in an effort to harmonize their provisions. For example, the Amendments delete provisions that are no longer applicable. The Amendments also change the definition of “Change of Control” to include:  (i) any person becoming the “beneficial owner” of Company securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then-outstanding securities; (ii) during any consecutive one-year period, individuals who constituted Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the beginning of such period or their approved replacements, ceasing for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board; (iii) the Company consummating a merger or consolidation with any other corporation unless: (a) the voting securities of Company outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation would continue to represent at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; and (b) no person becomes the “beneficial owner” of Company securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then outstanding securities); and (iv) any person acquiring all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets.

 

The Amendments also provide that in the event the Company enters into a definitive agreement (“Definitive Agreement”) that would result in a Change of Control, the Executives shall have the following options in connection with the consummation of the Change of Control, but only to the extent that the Definitive Agreement so provides:  (a) to the extent that the Company is the surviving entity in the Change of Control, each Executive may elect to retain, immediately after the consummation of the Change of Control, ownership of the Company’s equity with a fair market value immediately after the consummation of the Change of Control that is equal to no less than 50% of the fair market value of the Executive’s equity interests in the Company (including stock options and restricted stock) immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, or (b) in the event that the Company is not the surviving entity in a Change of Control, each Executive may elect to require that no less than 50% of the Executive’s equity interests in the Company (including stock options and restricted stock) be converted into the same form of equity interest (i.e., common stock, stock options, restricted stock, etc.) of the surviving entity or its parent such that the fair market value of his or her ownership in the surviving entity immediately following the Change of Control is no less than the fair market value of his or her converted ownership interest in the Company immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control.   The Amendments do not require that a Definitive Agreement contain any of the foregoing options.

 

In addition, the Amendments provide that following a Change of Control, the Company will not change any of the Executive’s job duties and responsibilities, if doing so would result in the nature of the Executive’s job duties being substantially different than they were immediately prior to the Change of Control.

 

The Amendments also update the Employment Agreements to clarify and, in certain respects, change the definition of a “Triggering Event” (an event that permits the Executives to resign employment and receive severance) to mean:  (i) termination from employment by the Company without cause; (ii) a material change in the nature of such Executive’s role or job responsibilities so that the Executive’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control, when considered in their totality as a whole, are substantially diminished in nature from the job duties the Executive performed immediately prior to the Change of Control; (iii) the relocation of the Executive’s principal place of work to a location more than 30 miles from the

 

41



Table of Contents

 

location the Executive was assigned to immediately prior to the Change of Control and such relocation results in the Executive’s one-way commute to work increasing by more than 30 miles based on the Executive’s principal place of residence immediately before such relocation was announced; or (iv) the Company materially breaches the Executive’s Employment Agreement.  Under the Amendments, a Triggering Event described above will not exist unless the Executive provides written notice to Company within 90 days of its initial existence and Company does not cure such condition within 30 days from the date it receives such notice.  In addition, no Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred unless the Executive actually terminates employment within 12 months from the date such Triggering Event initially occurs.

 

The Amendments also increase the portion of unvested equity awards that will vest immediately on a Change of Control from 50% to 100%.

 

The Amendment to Mr. DeMarco’s Employment Agreement also clarifies how certain offsets are applied to his severance rights and increases the duration of healthcare provided under certain severance scenarios from 12 months to 36 months to better align the healthcare portion of severance with the cash severance payable under those same scenarios.

 

In addition, on August 4, 2011, Kratos Defense Engineering Solutions, Inc. entered into amendments to the employment agreements with Phillip Carrai, our President, Technology & Training Solutions and Richard Selvaggio, our President, Weapons Systems Solutions.  Those amendments define “Change of Control” as in the Amendments discussed above and provide Messrs. Carrai and Selvaggio with the same options as the Executives in the event the Company enters into a Definitive Agreement.

 

On August 2, 2011, our board of directors approved a new form of an Indemnification Agreement to be used by the Company (the “New Indemnification Agreement”).  The New Indemnification Agreement updates the pre-existing indemnification agreement for new legal developments and also provides for certain trust arrangements of required payments in the event of a Change of Control of the Company.

 

The foregoing is only a summary of certain terms and conditions of the Amendments, the other amended employment agreements and the New Indemnification Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendments and employment agreements attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 to 10.7 and the form of Indemnification Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.8, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. Because this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is being filed within four business days of August 4, 2011, our entry into the Employment Agreements, the entry by Kratos Defense Engineering Solutions, Inc. into the other amended employment agreements and the adoption of the New Indemnification Agreement are being disclosed hereunder rather than under Item 5.02(e) of Form 8-K.

Exhibit 10.3

 

EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

Second Amended and Restated as of August 4, 2011

 

This Executive Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) was made effective November 14, 2003 (“Effective Date”), by and between Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (“Company” or “Kratos”) and Eric DeMarco (“Executive”), was amended and restated as of August 4, 2008 and is hereby amended and restated as of August 4, 2011.

 

The parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Employment. Company hereby employs Executive, and Executive hereby accepts such employment, upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

2.                                       Duties.

 

2.1                                 Position. Executive currently is employed as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), having the duties and responsibilities assigned by Company’s Board of Directors (“Board of Directors”); provided, however, the Company shall not change Executive’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control (as that term is defined below), if, when considered in their totality as a whole, such a change results in the nature of Executive’s job duties being substantially different than the nature of the job duties Executive performed immediately prior to the Change of Control.  Executive also holds a seat on Company’s Board of Directors.

 

2.2                                 Best Efforts/Full-time. Executive will expend his best efforts on behalf of Company, and will abide by all policies and decisions made by Company, as well as all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations or ordinances. Executive will act in the best interest of Company at all times. Executive shall devote his full business time and efforts to the performance of his assigned duties for Company, unless Executive notifies the Board of Directors in advance of his intent to engage in other paid work and receives the Board of Directors’ express written consent to do so.

 

3.                                       At-will Employment Relationship. Executive’s employment with Company is at-will and not for any specified period and may be terminated by either Executive or Company at any time, with or without cause. In addition, Company reserves the right to modify Executive’s position or duties to meet business needs and to use discretion in deciding on appropriate discipline. No representative of Company, other than the Board of Directors, has the authority to alter the at-will employment relationship between Executive and Company. Any change to the at-will employment relationship must be by specific, written agreement signed by Executive and the Board of Directors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or should be construed to contradict, modify or alter this at-will relationship.

 

4.                                       Compensation.

 

4.1                                 Base Salary. As compensation for Executive’s performance of his duties hereunder, Company shall pay to Executive a base salary of $575,000 per year (the “Base Salary”), payable in accordance with the normal payroll practices of Company, less required

 

1



 

deductions for state and federal withholding tax, social security and all other employment taxes and payroll deductions. In the event Executive’s employment under this Agreement is terminated by either party, for any reason, Executive will earn the Base Salary prorated to the date of termination.

 

4.2                                 Incentive Compensation. Executive will be eligible to earn an annual performance bonus, up to a maximum amount of 100% of his Base Salary, based upon the achievement of certain goals and objectives to be mutually determined by Executive and Company.

 

4.3                                 Stock Options. Executive will be eligible to receive stock options or other equity-based incentives based upon his performance as determined by Company in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

4.4                                 Performance and Salary Review. The Board of Directors will periodically review Executive’s performance on no less than an annual basis. Adjustments to Base Salary or other compensation, if any, will be made by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

5.                                       Customary Fringe Benefits. Executive will be eligible for all customary and usual fringe benefits generally available to executives of Company subject to the terms and conditions of Company’s benefit plan documents. Company reserves the right to change or eliminate the fringe benefits on a prospective, company-wide basis, at any time, effective upon notice to Executive.

 

6.                                       Business Expenses. Executive will be reimbursed for all reasonable, out-of-pocket business expenses incurred in the performance of his duties on behalf of Company. To obtain reimbursement, expenses must be submitted promptly with appropriate supporting documentation in accordance with Company’s policies.

 

7.                                       Termination of Executive’s Employment.

 

7.1                                 Termination for Cause by Company. Although Company anticipates a mutually rewarding employment relationship with Executive, Company may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time for Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” is defined as: (a) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Executive with respect to Executive’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of Company; (b) Executive’s material breach of this Agreement or Company’s standard form of confidentiality agreement; (c) Executive’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; or (d) Executive’s willful neglect of duties or poor performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination under subsection 7.1(d) above shall not constitute a termination for “Cause” unless Company has first given Executive written notice of the offending conduct (such notice shall include a description of remedial actions that Company reasonably deems appropriate to cure such offending conduct) and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such offending conduct. In the event Company terminates Executive’s employment under subsection 7.1(d) above, Company agrees to participate in binding arbitration, if requested by Executive, to

 

2



 

determine whether the cause for termination was willful neglect of duties or poor performance as opposed to some other reason that does not constitute Cause under this Agreement. In the event Executive’s employment is terminated in accordance with this subsection 7.1, Executive shall be entitled to receive only the Base Salary then in effect, prorated to the date of termination and any accrued but unpaid vacation (the “Standard Entitlements”). All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. In addition, Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Package described in subsection 7.2 below.

 

7.2                                 Termination Without Cause by Company/Severance. Company may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement without Cause at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice to Executive. In the event of such termination, or upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” followed by a “Triggering Event,” as hereinafter defined, Executive will receive the Standard Entitlements and the “Severance Package” described in subsection 7.2(a) below, provided that Executive agrees to comply with all of the conditions set forth in subsection 7.2(b) below. All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will be automatically terminated and completely extinguished. For purposes of this subsection 7.2, a “Triggering Event” shall mean: (i) Executive’s termination from employment by the Company without Cause; (ii) a material change in the nature of Executive’s role or job responsibilities so that Executive’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control, when considered in their totality as a whole, are substantially diminished in nature from the job duties Executive performed immediately prior to the Change of Control; (iii) the relocation of Executive’s principal place of work to a location more than thirty (30) miles from the location Executive was assigned to immediately prior to the Change of Control and such relocation results in Executive’s one-way commute to work increasing by more than 30 miles based on Executive’s principal place of residence immediately before such relocation was announced; or (iv) the Company materially breaches this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of a Triggering Event described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) hereof, such condition shall not exist unless Executive provides written notice to Company within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and Company does not cure such condition within thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice from Executive.  In addition, no Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred unless Executive separates from service within twelve (12) months from the date such Triggering Event initially occurs.

 

(a)                                  Severance Package. The Severance Package will consist of the following:

 

(i)                                     a “Severance Payment” equivalent to the sum of three (3) years of Executive’s Base Salary then in effect on the date of termination plus three (3) times Executive’s maximum bonus potential for the year in which Executive was terminated, less (x) any bonus amounts already received by Executive which applied to Executive’s performance in the year of termination and (y) applicable taxes and withholdings, all payable in a lump sum on the 55th day following such termination; provided, however, that to the extent that doing so would not result in adverse tax consequences under Code Section 409A, such amounts shall instead be payable, if sooner, on the day on which Executive satisfies the release requirement set forth in subsection (b)(ii), below;

 

3



 

(ii)                                  accelerated vesting of any and all of Executive’s stock options, restricted stock units and any other outstanding equity awards that remain unvested as of the date of termination; and

 

(iii)                               continuation of Executive’s group health insurance benefits on the same terms as during his employment until the sooner of three (3) years following the Separation Date or Executive’s procurement of health care coverage through another employer (the “Benefits Continuation Period”), provided Company’s insurance carrier allows for such benefits continuation. In the event Company’s insurance carrier does not allow for such coverage continuation, Company agrees to pay the premiums required to continue Executive’s group health care coverage during the Benefits Continuation Period, under the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (“COBRA”), provided that Executive elects to continue and remains eligible for these benefits under COBRA.  To the extent that any of the benefits provided under this section 7.2(a)(iii) would result in unintended tax consequences under Internal Revenue Code Section 105(h) or its analog in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Company shall in lieu of providing such benefits, provide Executive with a lump sum payment equal to 24 months of COBRA continuation coverage on the 55th day following Executive’s termination of employment.

 

(b)                                 Conditions to Receive Severance Package. Executive will receive the Severance Package described above only if he meets all of the following conditions:

 

(i)                                     complies with all surviving provisions of this Agreement as specified in subsection 13.8 below; and

 

(ii)                                  executes a full general release, in a form acceptable to Company, releasing all claims, known or unknown, that Executive may have against Company, and any parent, subsidiary or related entity, their officers, directors, employees and agents, arising out of or any way related to Employee’s employment or termination of employment with Company (the “Release”).  The Release must become effective within forty-five (45) days of Executive’s termination of employment and must not thereafter be revoked.

 

(c)                                  For the sake of clarity, no severance benefit that is paid on account of Executive’s termination of employment will be paid unless and until Executive incurs a “separation from service” under the default rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the related guidance (“Section 409A”) at the time of Executive’s separation from service, then only that portion of the Severance Package, together with any other severance payments or benefits, that may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) and which qualify as separation pay under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), may be paid within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service in accordance with section 7.2(a) above or (for payments or benefits not provided under this Agreement) with the payment schedule applicable to each such other payment or benefit.  Otherwise, the portion of the Severance Package, together with any other severance payments or benefits that may be considered deferred

 

4



 

compensation under Section 409A, that would otherwise be payable within the six (6) month period following Executive’s separation from service will be paid in a lump sum on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service (or the next business day if such date is not business day).  For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” means the lesser of two (2) times: (i) the sum of Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay for services provided to Company for the taxable year of Executive preceding the taxable year of Executive’s separation from service from Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any related Internal Revenue Service guidance; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which such separation from service occurs..

 

7.3                                 Resignation by Executive Without Good Reason. Executive may resign Executive’s position with Company for any reason, at any time on thirty (30) days’ advance written notice. In the event of Executive’s resignation, Executive will be entitled to receive only the Standard Entitlements and no other amount.  All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. In addition, Executive will not be entitled to receive the Severance Package described in subsection 7.2 above.

 

7.4                                 Termination Upon A Change Of Control.

 

(a)                                  Accelerated Vesting Upon A Change Of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, Company shall immediately accelerate vesting of 100% of any portion of the Option and 100% of the portion of any other outstanding equity awards that remain unvested.

 

(b)                                 Continued Validity of Severance Package After A Change Of Control. In the event of a Change of Control, the termination provisions described in section 7 above shall remain in full force and effect and Executive shall continue to be entitled to receive the Severance Package described in subsection 7.2(a) above, provided Executive complies with all of the conditions described in subsection 7.2(b) above.

 

(c)                                  Change of Control.  “Change of Control “ means the occurrence of one of the following after the date of this Agreement:

 

(i)                                     Acquisition of Controlling InterestAny person (other than persons who are employed by the Company or its affiliates at any time more than one year before a transaction) (“Buyer”) becomes the “beneficial owner” within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, directly or indirectly, of Company securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then-outstanding securities, but only to the extent that such ownership constitutes a “change in the ownership” of Company within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v).

 

5



 

(ii)                                  Change in Board Control.  During any consecutive one-year period commencing after the date of this Agreement, individuals who constituted Company’s Board of Directors (Board) at the beginning of such period or their approved replacements, as defined in the next sentence (Beginning Board) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board. An individual is an “approved replacement” Board member if the Board members then in office who are Beginning Board members approved his or her election (or nomination for election) by majority votes, but in either case excluding any Board member whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any person other than the Board, but only to the extent that such acquisition constitutes a “change in the effective control” of Company within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi).

 

(iii)                               MergerCompany consummates a merger or consolidation of Company with any other corporation unless: (a) the voting securities of Company outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation would continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; and (b) no Buyer becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of Company securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Company’s then outstanding securities, but only to the extent that such ownership constitutes a “change in the ownership” of Company within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v).

 

(iv)                              Sale of Assets.  Any Buyer acquires all, or substantially all, of Company’s assets, but only to the extent that such acquisition results in a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion” of Company’s assets within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii).

 

(d)                                 Additional Election Upon Certain Changes of Control.  If Kratos enters into a definitive agreement (“Definitive Agreement”) that would result in a Change of Control as defined herein, Executive shall have the following options in connection with the consummation of the Change of Control, but only to the extent that the Definitive Agreement so provides:  (a) to the extent that Kratos is the surviving entity in the Change of Control, Executive may elect to retain, immediately after the consummation of the Change of Control, ownership of Kratos equity with a fair market value immediately after the consummation of the Change of Control that is equal to no less than 50% of the fair market value of his equity interests in Kratos (including stock options and restricted stock) immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, or (b) in the event that Kratos is not the surviving entity in a Change of Control, Executive may elect to require that no less than 50% of his equity interests in Kratos (including stock options and restricted stock) be converted into the same form of equity interest (i.e., common stock, stock options, restricted stock, etc.) of the surviving entity or its parent such that the fair market value of his ownership in the surviving entity immediately following the Change of Control is no less than the fair market value of his converted ownership interest in Kratos immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control. A Definitive Agreement may contain other or no options and Kratos shall have no obligation to ensure that a Definitive Agreement provides for any of the foregoing options and shall not be responsible for

 

6



 

ensuring any particular tax treatment.  Kratos’ compliance with the foregoing shall be determined without regard to the tax effect of the transaction resulting in a Change of Control.

 

7.5                                 Termination Due to Death or Disability. This Agreement will immediately terminate upon Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below). In the event of Executive’s death or Disability, Executive, or Executive’s heirs, personal representatives or estate, as the case may be, will be entitled to receive only the Standard Entitlements and those benefits available under any applicable Company plan or insurance policy, subject to such plan or policy requirements. All other Company obligations to Executive pursuant to this Agreement will become automatically terminated and completely extinguished. In addition, neither Executive nor Executive’s heirs, personal representatives or estate will be entitled to receive the Severance Package described in subsection 7.2. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall be defined as Executive’s inability to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months; (ii) he is, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering employees of Company; or (iii) Executive is determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration or state equivalent.  For purposes of this Section 7.5, whether Executive’s condition satisfies the definition of Disability shall be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of Company.

 

7.6                                 Parachute Payment Excise Tax.

 

(e)                                  In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to Executive for Executive’s benefit, paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Executive’s employment with Company or a Change of Control (a “Payment” or “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Executive with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Executive will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Executive of all taxes (including any interest or penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of Executive’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on Executive’s return) imposed with respect to such taxes and the Excise Tax), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Executive retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

 

(f)                                    An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment shall be made by Company.  Company shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to Executive within fifteen (15) days of the date of Executive’s termination, if applicable, or such other time as requested by Executive (provided Executive reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax).  If requested by the Executive, Company shall furnish Executive, at Company’s expense,

 

7



 

with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Executive from Company’s accounting firm (or an accounting firm of equivalent stature reasonably acceptable to Executive) that there is a reasonable basis for the Determination.  Any Gross-Up Payment determined pursuant to this section 6 shall be paid by Company to Executive within five (5) days of receipt of the Determination.

 

(g)                                 As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an “Excess Payment”) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an “Underpayment”).

 

(h)                                 An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (A) upon notice (formal or informal) to Executive from any governmental taxing authority that Executive’s tax liability (whether in respect of Executive’s current taxable year or in respect of any prior taxable year) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which Company has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment, (B) upon a determination by a court, or (C) by reason of determination by Company (which shall include the position taken by Company, together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return).  If an Underpayment occurs, Executive shall promptly notify Company and Company shall promptly, but in any event at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the applicable government taxing authority has requested payment, pay to Executive an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of Executive’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on Executive’s return) imposed on the Underpayment.

 

(i)                                     An Excess Payment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which Executive had previously received a Gross-Up Payment.  A “Final Determination” shall be deemed to have occurred when Executive has received from the applicable government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Executive’s tax liability by reason of the Excise Payment and upon either (A) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Executive and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired or (B) the statute of limitations with respect to Executive’s applicable tax return has expired.  If an Excess Payment is determined to have been made, the amount of the Excess Payment shall be repaid by Executive to Company unless, and only to the extent that, the repayment would either reduce the amount on which Executive is subject to tax under Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section 4999.

 

(j)                                     Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, Company shall pay to the applicable government taxing authorities, as Excise Tax withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that Company has actually withheld from the Payment or Payments.

 

8



 

8.                                       No Conflict of Interest. During Executive’s employment with Company and during any period Executive is receiving payments from Company pursuant to this Agreement, Executive must not engage in any work, paid or unpaid, that creates an actual conflict of interest with Company. Such work shall include, but is not limited to, directly or indirectly competing with Company in any way, or acting as an officer, director, employee, consultant, stockholder, volunteer, lender, or agent of any business enterprise of the same nature as, or which is in direct competition with, the business in which Company is now engaged or in which Company becomes engaged during Executive’s employment with Company, as may be determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion. If the Board of Directors believes such a conflict exists during Executive’s employment, the Board of Directors may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or resign employment with Company. If the Board of Directors believes such a conflict exists during any period in which Executive is receiving payments pursuant to this Agreement, the Board of Directors may ask Executive to choose to discontinue the other work or forfeit the remaining severance payments. In addition, Executive agrees not to refer any client or potential client of Company to competitors of Company, without obtaining Company’s prior written consent, during Executive’s employment and during any period in which Executive is receiving payments from Company pursuant to this Agreement.

 

9.                                       Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights. Executive agrees to read, sign and abide by Company’s standard form of confidentiality agreement, which is provided with this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference.

 

10.                                 Nonsolicitation. Executive understands and agrees that Company’s employees and customers and any information regarding Company employees and/or customers is confidential and constitutes trade secrets. Accordingly, Executive agrees that during his employment and thereafter, Executive will not, either directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others: (a) use Company trade secret or confidential information to interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s relationship with any of its customers or customer prospects by soliciting or encouraging others to solicit any of them for the purpose of diverting or taking away business from Company; or (b) directly or indirectly, separately or in association with others, interfere with, impair, disrupt or damage Company’s business by soliciting, encouraging or attempting to hire any of Company’s employees or causing others to solicit or encourage any of Company’s employees to discontinue their employment with Company. Executive’s obligations under clause (b), however, shall lapse on the one-year anniversary of his termination of employment.

 

11.                                 Injunctive Relief. Executive acknowledges that his breach of the covenants contained in sections 8-10 would cause irreparable injury to Company and agrees that in the event of any such breach, Company shall be entitled to seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief, to the extent allowed under the California Arbitration Act, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security.

 

12.                                 Agreement to Arbitrate.

 

12.1                           Scope. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Executive and Company agree to arbitrate any controversy, claim or dispute between them arising out of or in any way related to this Agreement, the employment relationship between Company and Executive and

 

9



 

any disputes upon termination of employment, including but not limited to breach of contract, tort, discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination, demotion, discipline, failure to accommodate, family and medical leave, compensation or benefits claims, constitutional claims; and any claims for violation of any local, state or federal law, statute, regulation or ordinance or common law. For the purpose of this agreement to arbitrate, references to “Company” include all parent, subsidiary or related entities and their employees, supervisors, officers, directors, agents, pension or benefit plans, pension or benefit plan sponsors, fiduciaries, administrators, affiliates and all successors and assigns of any of them, and this agreement to arbitrate shall apply to them to the extent Executive’s claims arise out of or relate to their actions on behalf of Company.

 

12.2                           Arbitration Procedure. Either party may exercise the right to arbitrate by providing the other party with written notice of any and all claims forming the basis of such right in sufficient detail to inform the other party of the substance of such claims. In no event shall the request for arbitration be made after the date when institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claims would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitration will be conducted in San Diego, California by a single neutral arbitrator and in accordance with the then current rules for resolution of employment disputes of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The parties are entitled to representation by an attorney or other representative of their choosing. The arbitrator shall have the power to enter any award that could be entered by a judge of the trial court of the State of California, and only such power, and shall follow the law. The parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall issue the award in writing and therein state the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Company shall bear the costs of the arbitration filing and hearing fees and the cost of the arbitrator.

 

13.                                 General Provisions.

 

13.1                           Successors and Assigns.

13.3                           Attorneys’ Fees. Each side will bear its own attorneys’ fees in any dispute unless a statutory section at issue, if any, authorizes the award of attorneys’ fees to the prevailing party.

 

13.4                           Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable by an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to allow enforceability of the provision as so limited, it being intended that the parties shall receive the benefit contemplated herein to the fullest extent permitted by law. If a deemed modification is not satisfactory in the judgment of such arbitrator

 

10



 

or court, the unenforceable provision shall be deemed deleted, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby.

 

13.5                           Interpretation; Construction. The headings set forth in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be used in interpreting this Agreement. This Agreement has been drafted by legal counsel representing Company, but Executive has participated in the negotiation of its terms.

13.6                           Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States and the State of California.

AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

 

This Second Amended and Restated Severance and Change of Control Agreement (“Agreement”) is effective as of August 4, 2011 between Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (the “Company” or “Kratos”) and Deanna Lund (“Lund” or “Executive”), as approved by the Company’s Board Compensation Committee.

 

A.                                   Lund is presently employed as Chief Financial Officer pursuant to an offer letter dated March 15, 2004 (the “Offer Letter”).

 

B.                                     On March 28, 2005, the Company and Lund entered into a Change of Control Agreement, which memorialized in writing their understanding regarding the vesting of stock options and stock appreciation rights granted to Lund under the Company’s equity incentive plans in the event of a Change of Control, which was amended and restated on March 28, 2006 and again on August 4, 2008 (the original agreement together with any and all prior amendments is hereinafter referred to as the “Original Agreement”) to enhance severance and address compliance with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”).

 

C.                                     As consideration for Lund’s agreement to undertake and continue her duties and responsibilities in her role as Chief Financial Officer, the Company and Lund desire to enter into this Agreement to make certain corrective and conforming changes to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 

Therefore, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained below, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Position.  Lund is presently employed as Chief Financial Officer.  The Company shall not change Lund’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control (as that term is defined in section 4(a) below), if, when considered in their totality as a whole, such a change results in the nature of Lund’s job duties being substantially different than the nature of the job duties Lund performed immediately prior to the Change of Control

 

2.                                       Vesting Upon Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the vesting of 100% of all stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and any other equity awards granted to Lund under the Company’s equity incentive plans that as of the date of such Change of Control remain unvested shall accelerate, to the extent permissible by law, notwithstanding and in addition to any existing vesting provisions set forth in the applicable equity award agreement and/or the Company equity incentive plan.

 

3.                                       Severance Payments.

 

(a)                                  If Lund is (x) terminated without Cause (as defined in section 4(c) below) or (y) terminates as a result of a Triggering Event (as defined in section 4(b) below) after a Change of Control (as defined in section 4(a) below), then Lund will be entitled to receive in satisfaction of all obligations (other than as provided in section 2 above) that the Company may have to Lund: (i) in the case of clause (x) hereof, severance compensation equal to one year of

 

1



 

her base salary then in effect; or in the case of clause (y) hereof, severance compensation equal to two years of her base salary plus her maximum potential bonus amount for two years; in either case, less applicable taxes and withholding paid in a lump sum on the 60th day following Lund’s termination of employment; and, if needed by Lund, (ii) her then-current health insurance coverage, at the then current employee cost, during the twelve (12) month period following a termination in the case of clause (x); or during the twenty-four (24) month period following a resignation in the case of clause (y).  Such benefits will be provided for the twelve (12) month or twenty-four (24) month period, as applicable, following the date of Lund’s termination.  In addition, in the event that Lund is terminated without Cause, the vesting of 100% of all stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and any other equity awards granted to Lund under the Company’s equity incentive plans that as of the date of such termination remain unvested shall accelerate, to the extent permissible by law, notwithstanding and in addition to any existing vesting provisions set forth in the applicable equity award agreement and/or the Company equity incentive plan.  The receipt of the foregoing severance compensation, health insurance coverage and acceleration of vesting pursuant to this section 3 will be subject to Lund signing and not revoking a release of claims agreement in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company, and such release becoming effective within forty-five (45) days of Lund’s termination and not thereafter being revoked.  To the extent that any of the health insurance benefits provided under this section 3(a) would result in unintended tax consequences under Code Section 105(h) or its analog in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, Company shall in lieu of providing such benefits provide Lund with a lump sum payment equal to twelve (12) or twenty-four (24) months of COBRA continuation coverage on the 55th day following Lund’s termination of employment.

 

(b)                                 For the sake of clarity, no severance benefit that is paid on account of Lund’s termination of employment will be paid unless and until Lund incurs a “separation from service” under the default rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Lund is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the related guidance (“Section 409A”) at the time of Lund’s separation from service, then only that portion of the severance and benefits set forth in section 3(a) above, together with any other severance payments or benefits, that may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, which (when considered together) do not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) and which qualify as separation pay under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii), may be paid within the first six (6) months following Lund’s separation from service in accordance with section 3(a) above or (for payments or benefits not provided under this Agreement) with the payment schedule applicable to each such other payment or benefit.  Otherwise, the portion of the severance and benefits provided under this Agreement, together with any other severance payments or benefits that may be considered deferred compensation under Section 409A, that would otherwise be payable within the six (6) month period following Lund’s separation from service will accrue during such six (6) month period and will be paid in a lump sum on the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of Lund’s separation from service (or the next business day if such date is not business day).  All remaining severance payments and benefits will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to such payments or benefits.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Section 409A Limit” means the lesser of two (2) times: (i) the sum of Lund’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay for services provided to the Company for the taxable year of Lund preceding the

 

2



 

taxable year of Lund’s separation from service from the Company as determined under Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any related Internal Revenue Service guidance; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which such separation from service occurs.

 

(c)                                  Additional Election Upon Certain Changes of Control.  If Kratos enters into a definitive agreement (“Definitive Agreement”) that would result in a Change of Control as defined herein, Executive shall have the following options in connection with the consummation of the Change of Control, but only to the extent that the Definitive Agreement so provides:  (a) to the extent that Kratos is the surviving entity in the Change of Control, Executive may elect to retain, immediately after the consummation of the Change of Control, ownership of Kratos equity with a fair market value immediately after the consummation of the Change of Control that is equal to no less than 50% of the fair market value of her equity interests in Kratos (including stock options and restricted stock) immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, or (b) in the event that Kratos is not the surviving entity in a Change of Control, Executive may elect to require that no less than 50% of her equity interests in Kratos (including stock options and restricted stock) be converted into the same form of equity interest (i.e., common stock, stock options, restricted stock, etc.) of the surviving entity or its parent such that the fair market value of her ownership in the surviving entity immediately following the Change of Control is no less than the fair market value of her converted ownership interest in Kratos immediately prior to the consummation of the Change of Control. A Definitive Agreement may contain other or no options and Kratos shall have no obligation to ensure that a Definitive Agreement provides for any of the foregoing options and shall not be responsible for ensuring any particular tax treatment.  Kratos’ compliance with the foregoing shall be determined without regard to the tax effect of the transaction resulting in a Change of Control.

 

4.                                       Definition of Change of Control and Triggering Event.

(i)                                     Acquisition of Controlling InterestAny person (other than persons who are employed by Kratos or its affiliates at any time more than one year before a transaction) (“Buyer”) becomes the “beneficial owner” within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, directly or indirectly, of Kratos securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Kratos’ then-outstanding securities, but only to the extent that such ownership constitutes a “change in the ownership” of Kratos within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v).

 

(ii)                                  Change in Board Control.  During any consecutive one-year period commencing after the date of this Agreement, individuals who constituted Kratos’ Board of Directors (“Board) at the beginning of such period or their approved replacements, as defined in the next sentence (“Beginning Board”) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board. An individual is an “approved replacement” Board member if the Board members then in office who are Beginning Board members approved his or her election (or nomination for election) by majority votes, but in either case excluding any Board member whose initial assumption of office occurred as a result of an actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on

 

3



 

behalf of any person other than the Board, but only to the extent that such acquisition constitutes a “change in the effective control” of Kratos within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vi).

 

(iii)                               MergerKratos consummates a merger or consolidation of Kratos with any other corporation unless: (a) the voting securities of Kratos outstanding immediately before the merger or consolidation would continue to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of Kratos or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; and (b) no Buyer becomes the “beneficial owner,” directly or indirectly, of Kratos securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of Kratos’ then outstanding securities, but only to the extent that such ownership constitutes a “change in the ownership” of Kratos within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(v).

 

(iv)                              Sale of Assets.  Any Buyer acquires all, or substantially all, of Kratos’ assets, but only to the extent that such acquisition results in a “change in the ownership of a substantial portion” of Kratos’ assets within the meaning of U.S. Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5)(vii).

 

(b)                                 A “Triggering Event” means (i) Lund’s termination from employment by the Company without Cause; (ii) a material change in the nature of Lund’s role or job responsibilities so that Lund’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control, when considered in their totality as a whole, are substantially diminished in nature from the job duties Lund performed immediately prior to the Change of Control; (ii) the relocation of Lund’s principal place of work to a location of more that thirty (30) miles from the location Lund was assigned to immediately prior to the Change of Control and such relocation results in Lund’s one-way commute to work increasing by more than thirty (30) miles based on Lund’s principal place of residence immediately before such relocation was announced; or (iii) the Company materially breaches this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of a Triggering Event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof, such condition shall not exist unless Lund provides written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and the Company does not cure such condition within thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice from Lund.  In addition, no Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred unless Lund separates from service within twelve (12) months from the date such Triggering Event initially occurs.

 

(c)                                  Cause” means (i) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Lund with respect to Lund’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (ii) Lund’s material breach of this Agreement or the Company’s standard form of confidentiality agreement; (iii) Lund’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; (iv) Lund’s failure to perform her duties and responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board after being provided with notice thereof and thirty (30) days opportunity to remedy such failure; and (v) Lund’s willful neglect of duties or poor performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination under subsection (v) shall not constitute a termination for “Cause” unless the Company has first given Lund written notice of the offending conduct (such notice shall include a description of remedial actions that the

 

4



 

Company reasonably deems appropriate to cure such offending conduct) and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such offending conduct. In the event the Company terminates Lund’s employment under subsection (v), the Company agrees to participate in binding arbitration, if requested by Lund, to determine whether the cause for termination was willful neglect of duties or poor performance as opposed to some other reason that does not constitute Cause under this Agreement.

 

5.                                       General Provisions. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the terms of the Offer Letter remain unchanged. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to change the at-will nature of Lund’s employment with the Company. This Agreement and the Offer Letter, including the Additional Terms and Conditions attached thereto and the Proprietary Information and Innovations Agreement signed by Lund, constitute the entire agreement between Lund and the Company with respect to Lund’s employment with the Company, and supersedes and replaces the Original Agreement in its entirety. No amendment or modification of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties.

 

6.                                       Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (or any regulations or rulings thereunder), and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company, in the exercise of its sole discretion and without the consent of Lund, may amend or modify this Agreement in any manner in order to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as amplified by any Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Treasury Department guidance.  Any provision of this Agreement that would cause the payment of any benefit to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Code Section 409A (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by the Code or any regulations or rulings thereunder).  Lund is encouraged to consult a tax adviser regarding the potential impact of Section 409A of the Code.

 

7.                                       Parachute Payment Excise Tax.

 

(a)                                  In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to Lund for Lund’s benefit, paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Lund’s employment with the Company or a Change of Control (a “Payment” or “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Lund with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Lund will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Lund of all taxes (including any interest or penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of Lund’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on Lund’s return) imposed with respect to such taxes and the Excise Tax), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Lund retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

 

(b)                                 An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment shall be made by the Company.  the Company shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with

 

5



 

detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to Lund within fifteen (15) days of the date of Lund’s termination, if applicable, or such other time as requested by Lund (provided Lund reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax).  If requested by the Lund, the Company shall furnish Lund, at the Company’s expense, with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Lund from the Company’s accounting firm (or an accounting firm of equivalent stature reasonably acceptable to Lund) that there is a reasonable basis for the Determination.  Any Gross-Up Payment determined pursuant to this section 7 shall be paid by the Company to Lund within five (5) days of receipt of the Determination.

 

(c)                                  As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an “Excess Payment”) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an “Underpayment”).

 

(d)                                 An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (A) upon notice (formal or informal) to Lund from any governmental taxing authority that Lund’s tax liability (whether in respect of Lund’s current taxable year or in respect of any prior taxable year) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which the Company has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment, (B) upon a determination by a court, or (C) by reason of determination by the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return).  If an Underpayment occurs, Lund shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall promptly, but in any event at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the applicable government taxing authority has requested payment, pay to Lund an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of Lund’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on Lund’s return) imposed on the Underpayment.

 

(e)                                  An Excess Payment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which Lund had previously received a Gross-Up Payment.  A “Final Determination” shall be deemed to have occurred when Lund has received from the applicable government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Lund’s tax liability by reason of the Excise Payment and upon either (A) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Lund and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired or (B) the statute of limitations with respect to Lund’s applicable tax return has expired.  If an Excess Payment is determined to have been made, the amount of the Excess Payment shall be repaid by Lund to the Company unless, and only to the extent that, the repayment would either reduce the amount on which Lund is subject to tax under Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section 4999.

 

(f)                                    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, the Company shall pay to the applicable government taxing authorities, as Excise Tax

withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that the Company has actually withheld from the Payment or Payments.

A.                                   The Company and Siegal entered into the original Severance and Change of Control Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2007 to (i) provide for the payment of severance compensation to Siegal upon a termination without Cause, or (ii) in the event of a Change of Control, as defined herein, which original agreement was amended and restated on August 4, 2008 (the original agreement together with any and all prior amendments is hereinafter referred to as the “Original Agreement”).

 

B.                                     As consideration for Siegal’s agreement to continue her duties and responsibilities in her role as Vice President & Controller, the Company and Siegal desire to amend the Original Agreement to make certain corrective and conforming changes to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

 

Therefore, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained below, and for other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.                                       Position.  Siegal presently is employed as Vice President, Corporate Controller, and Treasurer of the Company.  The Company shall not change Siegal’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control (as that term is defined in section 4(a) below), if, when considered in their totality as a whole, such a change results in the nature of Siegal’s job duties being substantially different than the nature of the job duties Siegal performed immediately prior to the Change of Control.

 

2.                                       Vesting Upon Change of Control.  Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the vesting of 100% of all stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and any other equity awards granted to Siegal under the Company’s equity incentive plans that as of the date of such Change of Control remain unvested shall accelerate, to the extent permissible by law, notwithstanding and in addition to any existing vesting provisions set forth in the applicable equity award agreement and/or the Company equity incentive plan.

 

3.                                       Severance Payments.

 

(a)                                  If Siegal is (x) terminated without Cause (as defined in section 4(c) below) or (y) terminates as a result of a Change in Control (as defined by section 4(a) below) followed by a Triggering Event (as defined in section 4(b) below), then Siegal will be entitled to receive in satisfaction of all obligations (other than as provided in section 2 above) that the Company may have to Siegal: (i) in the case of clause (x) hereof, severance compensation equal to nine (9) months of her base salary then in effect; or in the case of clause (y) hereof, severance

2



 

Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(1) and any related Internal Revenue Service guidance; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which such separation from service occurs.

A Definitive Agreement may contain other or no options and Kratos shall have no obligation to ensure that a Definitive Agreement provides for any of the foregoing options and shall not be responsible for ensuring any particular tax treatment.  Kratos’ compliance with the foregoing shall be determined without regard to the tax effect of the transaction resulting in a Change of Control.

 

4.                                       Definition of Change of Control and Triggering Event.

 

(a)                                  A Change of Control means the occurrence of one of the following after the date of this Agreement:

(b)                                 A Triggering Event means (i) Siegal’s termination from employment by the Company without Cause; (ii) a material change in the nature of Siegal’s role or job responsibilities so that Siegal’s job duties and responsibilities after the Change of Control, when considered in their totality as a whole, are substantially diminished in nature from the job duties Siegal performed immediately prior to the Change of Control; (ii) the relocation of Siegal’s principal place of work to a location of more than thirty (30) miles from the location Siegal was assigned to immediately prior to the Change of Control and such relocation results in Siegal’s one-way commute to work increasing by more than thirty (30) miles based on Siegal’s principal place of residence immediately before such relocation was announced ; or (iii) the Company materially breaches this Agreement; provided, however, in the case of a Triggering Event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof, such condition shall not exist unless Siegal provides written notice to the Company within ninety (90) days of its initial existence and the Company does not cure such condition within thirty (30) days from the date it receives such notice from Siegal.  In addition, no Triggering Event will be deemed to have occurred unless Siegal separates from service within twelve (12) months from the date such Triggering Event initially occurs.

 

(c)                                  Cause” means (i) acts or omissions constituting gross negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct on the part of Siegal with respect to Siegal’s obligations or otherwise relating to the business of the Company; (ii) Siegal’s material breach of this Agreement or the Company’s standard form of confidentiality agreement; (iii) Siegal’s conviction or entry of a plea of nolo contendere for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement, or any felony or crime of moral turpitude; (iv) Siegal’s failure to perform her duties and responsibilities as Vice President and Corporate Controller to the reasonable satisfaction of the Board after being provided with notice thereof and thirty (30) days opportunity to remedy such failure; and (v) Siegal’s willful neglect of duties or poor performance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a termination under subsection (v) shall not constitute a termination for “Cause” unless the Company has first given Siegal written notice of the offending conduct (such notice

 

4



 

shall include a description of remedial actions that the Company reasonably deems appropriate to cure such offending conduct) and a thirty (30) day opportunity to cure such offending conduct. In the event the Company terminates Siegal’s employment under subsection (v), the Company agrees to participate in binding arbitration, if requested by Siegal, to determine whether the cause for termination was willful neglect of duties or poor performance as opposed to some other reason that does not constitute Cause under this Agreement.

 

5.                                       General Provisions.  Except as set forth in this Agreement, the terms of the Offer Letter remain unchanged. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to change the at-will nature of Siegal’s employment with the Company. This Agreement and the Offer Letter, including the Additional Terms and Conditions attached thereto and the Proprietary Information and Innovations Agreement signed by Siegal, constitute the entire agreement between Siegal and the Company with respect to Siegal’s employment with the Company, and supersedes and replaces the Original Agreement in its entirety.  No amendment or modification of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the parties.

 

6.                                       Compliance with Section 409A of the Code.  This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code (or any regulations or rulings thereunder), and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company, in the exercise of its sole discretion and without the consent of Siegal, may amend or modify this Agreement in any manner in order to meet the requirements of Section 409A of the Code as amplified by any Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Treasury Department guidance.  Any provision of this Agreement that would cause the payment of any benefit to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code shall have no force and effect until amended to comply with Code Section 409A (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by the Code or any regulations or rulings thereunder).  Siegal is encouraged to consult a tax adviser regarding the potential impact of Section 409A of the Code.

 

7.                                       Parachute Payment Excise Tax.

 

(a)                                  In the event that any payment or benefit (within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code) to Siegal for Siegal’s benefit, paid or payable or distributed or distributable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or otherwise in connection with, or arising out of, the Siegal’s employment with the Company or a Change of Control (a “Payment” or “Payments”), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Code Section 4999, or any interest or penalties are incurred by Siegal with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any such interest and penalties, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Excise Tax”), then Siegal will be entitled to receive an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by Siegal of all taxes (including any interest or penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of Siegal’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on Siegal’s return) imposed with respect to such taxes and the Excise Tax), including any Excise Tax imposed upon the Gross-Up Payment, Siegal retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payments.

 

(b)                                 An initial determination as to whether a Gross-Up Payment is required pursuant to this Agreement and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment shall be made by the Company.  the Company shall provide its determination (the “Determination”), together with

 

5



 

detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to Siegal within fifteen (15) days of the date of Siegal’s termination, if applicable, or such other time as requested by Siegal (provided Siegal reasonably believes that any of the Payments may be subject to the Excise Tax).  If requested by the Siegal, the Company shall furnish Siegal, at the Company’s expense, with an opinion reasonably acceptable to Siegal from the Company’s accounting firm (or an accounting firm of equivalent stature reasonably acceptable to Siegal) that there is a reasonable basis for the Determination.  Any Gross-Up Payment determined pursuant to this section 7 shall be paid by the Company to Siegal within five (5) days of receipt of the Determination.

 

(c)                                  As a result of the uncertainty in the application of Sections 4999 and 280G of the Code, it is possible that a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) will be paid which should not have been paid (an “Excess Payment”) or a Gross-Up Payment (or a portion thereof) which should have been paid will not have been paid (an “Underpayment”).

 

(d)                                 An Underpayment shall be deemed to have occurred (A) upon notice (formal or informal) to Siegal from any governmental taxing authority that Siegal’s tax liability (whether in respect of Siegal’s current taxable year or in respect of any prior taxable year) may be increased by reason of the imposition of the Excise Tax on a Payment or Payments with respect to which the Company has failed to make a sufficient Gross-Up Payment, (B) upon a determination by a court, or (C) by reason of determination by the Company (which shall include the position taken by the Company, together with its consolidated group, on its federal income tax return).  If an Underpayment occurs, Siegal shall promptly notify the Company and the Company shall promptly, but in any event at least five (5) days prior to the date on which the applicable government taxing authority has requested payment, pay to Siegal an additional Gross-Up Payment equal to the amount of the Underpayment plus any interest and penalties (other than interest and penalties imposed by reason of Siegal’s failure to file timely a tax return or pay taxes shown due on Siegal’s return) imposed on the Underpayment.

 

(e)                                  An Excess Payment shall be deemed to have occurred upon a Final Determination (as hereinafter defined) that the Excise Tax shall not be imposed upon a Payment or Payments (or portion thereof) with respect to which Siegal had previously received a Gross-Up Payment.  A “Final Determination” shall be deemed to have occurred when Siegal has received from the applicable government taxing authority a refund of taxes or other reduction in Siegal’s tax liability by reason of the Excise Payment and upon either (A) the date a determination is made by, or an agreement is entered into with, the applicable governmental taxing authority which finally and conclusively binds Siegal and such taxing authority, or in the event that a claim is brought before a court of competent jurisdiction, the date upon which a final determination has been made by such court and either all appeals have been taken and finally resolved or the time for all appeals has expired or (B) the statute of limitations with respect to Siegal’s applicable tax return has expired.  If an Excess Payment is determined to have been made, the amount of the Excess Payment shall be repaid by Siegal to the Company unless, and only to the extent that, the repayment would either reduce the amount on which Siegal is subject to tax under Code Section 4999 or generate a refund of tax imposed under Code Section 4999.

 

(f)                                    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that, according to the Determination, an Excise Tax will be imposed on any Payment or Payments, the Company shall pay to the applicable government taxing authorities, as Excise Tax

withholding, the amount of the Excise Tax that the Company has actually withheld from the Payment or Payments.

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Company recognizes the continued difficulty in obtaining liability insurance for its directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates, the significant increases in the cost of such insurance and the general reductions in the coverage of such insurance;

 

WHEREAS, the Company further recognizes the substantial increase in corporate litigation in general, subjecting directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates to expensive litigation risks at the same time as the availability and coverage of liability insurance has been severely limited;

 

WHEREAS, the current protection available to directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates of the Company may not be adequate under the present circumstances, and directors, officers, employees, controlling persons, fiduciaries and other agents and affiliates of the Company (or persons who may be alleged or deemed to be the same), including the Indemnitee, may not be willing to continue to serve or be associated with the Company in such capacities without additional protection;

 

WHEREAS, the Company (a) desires to attract and retain the involvement of highly qualified persons, such as the Indemnitee, to serve and be associated with the Company, and (b) accordingly, wishes to provide for the indemnification and advancement of expenses to the Indemnitee to the maximum extent permitted by law; and

 

WHEREAS, in view of the considerations set forth above, the Company desires that the Indemnitee shall be indemnified and advanced expenses by the Company as set forth herein.

(h)                                 References to other enterprises” shall include employee benefit plans; references to fines” shall include any excise taxes assessed on the Indemnitee with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to serving at the request of the Company shall include any service as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of the Company which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or its beneficiaries; and if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner the Indemnitee reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan, the Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in a manner not opposed to the best interests of the Company” as referred to in this Agreement.

 

(i)                                    “Potential Change in Control” shall be deemed to have occurred if, on or after the date of this Agreement, (i) the Company enters into an agreement, the consummation of which would result in the occurrence of a Change in Control; (ii) a person (including the Company) publicly announces a legitimate intention to take or to consider taking actions which if consummated would constitute a Change in Control; (iii) any person other than a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of the Company acting in such capacity or a corporation owned directly or indirectly by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of stock of the Company, becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than nine and one half percent (9.5%) of the total voting power represented by the Company’s then outstanding Voting Securities (as defined below); or (iv) the Board adopts a resolution to the effect that, for purposes of this Agreement, a Potential Change in Control has occurred.

 

(j)                                    Reviewing Party shall mean, subject to the provisions of Section 2(d) hereof, any person or body appointed by the Board in accordance with applicable law to review the Company’s obligations hereunder and under applicable law, which may include a member or members of the Board, Independent Legal Counsel or any other person or body not a party to the particular Claim for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights.

(k)                                Section refers to a section of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated.

 

(l)                                    Voting Securities shall mean any securities of the Company that vote generally in the election of directors.

 

2.                                      INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a)                                  Indemnification of Expenses. Subject to the provisions of Section 2(b) below, the Company shall indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless the Indemnitee for Expenses to the fullest extent permitted by law if the Indemnitee was or is or becomes a party to or witness or other participant in, or is threatened to be made a party to or witness or other participant in, any Claim (whether by reason of or arising in part out of a Covered Event), including all interest, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with or in respect of such Expenses.

 

(b)                                  Review of Indemnification Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event any Reviewing Party shall have determined (in a written opinion, in any case in which Independent Legal Counsel is the Reviewing Party) that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless hereunder under applicable law, (i) the Company shall have no further obligation under Section 2(a) hereof to make any payments to the Indemnitee not made prior to such determination by such Reviewing Party and (ii) the Company shall be entitled to be reimbursed in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee has commenced or thereafter commences legal proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to secure a determination that the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless hereunder under applicable law, any determination made by any Reviewing Party that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder under applicable law shall not be binding and the Indemnitee shall not be required to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advances until a final judicial determination is made with respect thereto (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed). The Indemnitee’s obligation to reimburse the Company for any Expense Advances shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

 

(c)                                  Indemnitee Rights on Unfavorable Determination; Binding Effect. If any Reviewing Party determines that the Indemnitee substantively is not entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless hereunder in whole or in part under applicable law, the Indemnitee shall have the right to commence litigation seeking an initial determination by the court or challenging any such determination by such Reviewing Party or any aspect thereof, including the legal or factual bases therefor, and the Company hereby consents to service of process and to appear in any such proceeding. Alternatively, Indemnitee, at his option, may seek an award in arbitration to be conducted by a single arbitrator pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association.  Indemnitee shall commence such proceeding seeking an adjudication or an award in arbitration within 180 days following the date on which Indemnitee first has the right to commence such proceeding pursuant to this Section 2(c). The Company shall not oppose Indemnitee’s right to seek any such adjudication or award in arbitration.

 

(d)                                  Selection of Reviewing Party; Change in Control. If there has not been a Change in Control, any Reviewing Party shall be selected by the Board, and if there has been a Change in Control (other than a Change in Control which has been approved by a majority of the Board who were directors immediately prior to such Change in Control), any Reviewing Party with respect to all matters thereafter arising concerning the Indemnitee’s indemnification,

exoneration or hold harmless rights for Expenses under this Agreement or any other agreement or under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws as now or hereafter in effect, or under any other applicable law, if desired by the Indemnitee, shall be Independent Legal Counsel selected by the Indemnitee and approved by Company (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). Such counsel, among other things, shall render its written opinion to the Company and the Indemnitee as to whether and to what extent the Indemnitee would be entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless hereunder under applicable law and the Company agrees to abide by such opinion. The Company agrees to pay the reasonable fees of the Independent Legal Counsel referred to above and to fully indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless such counsel against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), claims, liabilities and damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement or its engagement pursuant hereto.

 

(e)                                  Mandatory Payment of Expenses. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement other than Section 9 hereof, to the extent that the Indemnitee has been successful on the merits or otherwise, including, without limitation, the dismissal of an action without prejudice, in defense of any Claim, the Indemnitee shall be indemnified, exonerated and held harmless against all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection therewith.

 

(f)                                    Contribution. If the indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights provided for in this Agreement are for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnitee, then in lieu of indemnifying, exonerating or holding harmless the Indemnitee hereunder, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the Indemnitee as a result of such Expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Indemnitee or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Indemnitee in connection with the action or inaction which resulted in such Expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company and the Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

 

The Company and the Indemnitee agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2(f) were determined by pro rata or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person found guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not found guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

3.                                      EXPENSE ADVANCES.

 

(a)                                  Obligation to Make Expense Advances. The Company shall make Expense Advances to the Indemnitee as soon as practicable after written demand by the Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company; provided, however, that if required by applicable law, such Expense Advances shall only be made upon receipt of a written undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless therefor by the Company.

 

5



 

(b)                                  Form of Undertaking. Any written undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay any Expense Advances hereunder shall be unsecured and no interest shall be charged thereon.

 

4.                                      PROCEDURES FOR INDEMNIFICATION AND EXPENSE ADVANCES.

 

(a)                                  Timing of Payments. All payments of Expenses (including without limitation Expense Advances) by the Company to the Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law as soon as practicable after written demand by the Indemnitee therefor is presented to the Company, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after such written demand by Indemnitee is presented to the Company, except in the case of Expense Advances, which shall be made no later than twenty (20) days after such written demand by the Indemnitee is presented to the Company.

 

(b)                                  No Presumptions; Burden of Proof. For purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any Claim by judgment, order, settlement (whether with or without court approval) or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere, or its equivalent, shall not create a presumption that the Indemnitee did not meet any particular standard of conduct or have any particular belief or that a court has determined that indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights are not permitted by this Agreement or applicable law. In addition, neither the failure of any Reviewing Party to have made a determination as to whether the Indemnitee has met any particular standard of conduct or had any particular belief, nor an actual determination by any Reviewing Party that the Indemnitee has not met such standard of conduct or did not have such belief, prior to the commencement of legal proceedings by the Indemnitee to secure a judicial determination that the Indemnitee should be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless under this Agreement or applicable law, shall be a defense to the Indemnitee’s claim or create a presumption that the Indemnitee has not met any particular standard of conduct or did not have any particular belief. In connection with any determination by any Reviewing Party or otherwise as to whether the Indemnitee is entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless hereunder, the burden of proof shall be on the Company to establish that the Indemnitee is not so entitled.

 

(c)                                  Subject to Section 2(c) of this Agreement, if the person, persons or entity empowered or selected under Section 2(d) of this Agreement to determine whether Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification shall not have made a determination within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Company of the request therefor, the requisite determination of entitlement to indemnification shall, to the fullest extent not prohibited by law, be deemed to have been made and Indemnitee shall be entitled to such indemnification, absent (i) a misstatement by Indemnitee of a material fact, or an omission of a material fact necessary to make Indemnitee’s statement not materially misleading, in connection with the request for indemnification, or (ii) a prohibition of such indemnification under applicable law; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Section 4(c) shall not apply if the determination of entitlement to indemnification is to be made by Independent Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 2(d) of this Agreement.

 

(d)                                  Notice to Insurers. If the Company has liability insurance in effect which may cover such Claim, the Company shall give prompt notice of the commencement of such Claim to the insurers in accordance with the procedures set forth in the respective policies. The Company shall thereafter take all necessary or desirable action to cause such insurers to pay, on behalf of the Indemnitee, all amounts payable as a result of such Claim in accordance with the terms of such policies.

 

6



 

(e)                                  Reliance as Safe Harbor.  For purposes of any determination of good faith, Indemnitee shall be deemed to have acted in good faith if Indemnitee’s action is based on the records or books of account of the Company, including financial statements, or on information supplied to Indemnitee by the officers of the Company in the course of their duties, or on the advice of legal counsel for the Company or on information or records given or reports made to the Company by an independent certified public accountant or by an appraiser or other expert selected with the reasonable care by the Company.  The provisions of this Section 4(e) shall not be deemed to be exclusive or to limit in any way the other circumstances in which the Indemnitee may be deemed to have met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Agreement.

 

(f)                                    Actions of Others.  The knowledge and/or actions, or failure to act, of any director, officer, agent or employee of the Company shall not be imputed to Indemnitee for purposes of determining the right to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(g)                                 Selection of Counsel. In the event the Company shall be obligated hereunder to provide indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights for or make any Expense Advances with respect to the Expenses of any Claim, the Company, if appropriate, shall be entitled to assume the defense of such Claim with counsel approved by the Indemnitee (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) upon the delivery to the Indemnitee of written notice of the Company’s election to do so. After delivery of such notice, approval of such counsel by the Indemnitee and the retention of such counsel by the Company, the Company will not be liable to the Indemnitee under this Agreement for any fees or expenses of separate counsel subsequently employed by or on behalf of the Indemnitee with respect to the same Claim; provided, however, that (i) the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ the Indemnitee’s separate counsel in any such Claim at the Indemnitee’s expense and (ii) if (A) the employment of separate counsel by the Indemnitee has been previously authorized by the Company, (B) the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest between the Company and the Indemnitee in the conduct of any such defense, or (C) the Company shall not continue to retain such counsel to defend such Claim, then the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee’s separate counsel shall be Expenses for which the Indemnitee may receive indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights or Expense Advances hereunder. The Company shall have the right to conduct such defense as it sees fit in its sole discretion, including the right to settle any claim, action or proceeding against the Indemnitee without the consent of the Indemnitee, provided that the terms of such settlement include either: (i) a full release of the Indemnitee by the claimant from all liabilities or potential liabilities under such claim; or (ii) in the event such full release is not obtained, the terms of such settlement do not limit any indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights the Indemnitee may now, or hereafter, be entitled to under this Agreement, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws, any agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the “DGCL”) or otherwise.

 

5.                                      ADDITIONAL INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS; NONEXCLUSIVITY.

 

(a)                                  Scope. The Company hereby agrees to indemnify, exonerate and hold harmless the Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless right is not specifically authorized by the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s certificate of incorporation, the Company’s bylaws or by statute. In the event of any change after the date of this Agreement in any applicable law, statute or rule which expands the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, it is the

 

7



 

intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnitee shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits afforded by such change. In the event of any change in any applicable law, statute or rule which narrows the right of a Delaware corporation to indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless a member of its board of directors or an officer, employee, agent or fiduciary, such change, to the extent not otherwise required by such law, statute or rule to be applied to this Agreement, shall have no effect on this Agreement or the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.

 

(b)                                  Nonexclusivity. The indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights and the payment of Expense Advances provided by this Agreement shall be in addition to any rights to which the Indemnitee may be entitled under the Company’s certificate of incorporation, its bylaws, any other agreement, any vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, the DGCL or otherwise. The indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights and the payment of Expense Advances provided under this Agreement shall continue as to the Indemnitee for any action taken or not taken while serving in an indemnified, exonerated or held harmless capacity even though subsequent thereto the Indemnitee may have ceased to serve in such capacity.

 

6.                                      NO DUPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. The Company shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment in connection with any Claim made against the Indemnitee to the extent the Indemnitee has otherwise actually received payment (under any insurance policy, provision of the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or otherwise) of the amounts otherwise payable hereunder.

 

7.                                      PARTIAL INDEMNIFICATION. If the Indemnitee is entitled under any provision of this Agreement to indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights by the Company for some or a portion of Expenses incurred in connection with any Claim, but not, however, for the total amount thereof, the Company shall nevertheless indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless the Indemnitee for the portion of such Expenses to which the Indemnitee is entitled.

 

8.                                      LIABILITY INSURANCE. To the extent the Company maintains liability insurance applicable to directors, officers, employees, agents or fiduciaries, the Indemnitee shall be covered by such policies in such a manner as to provide the Indemnitee the same rights and benefits as are provided to the most favorably insured of the Company’s directors, if the Indemnitee is a director; or of the Company’s officers, if the Indemnitee is not a director of the Company but is an officer; or of the Company’s key employees, agents or fiduciaries, if Indemnitee is not an officer or director but is a key employee, agent or fiduciary.

 

9.                                      EXCEPTIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement:

 

(a)                                  Excluded Action or Omissions. To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless the Indemnitee for Expenses resulting from acts, omissions or transactions for which the Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights under this Agreement or applicable law; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 9(a) regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that the Indemnitee has engaged in acts, omissions or transactions for which the Indemnitee is prohibited from receiving indemnification under this Agreement or applicable law.

 

8



 

(b)                                  Claims Initiated by the Indemnitee. To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless or make Expense Advances to the Indemnitee with respect to Claims initiated or brought voluntarily by the Indemnitee against the Company or any director or officer of the Company and not by way of defense, counterclaim or cross claim, except (i) with respect to actions or proceedings brought to establish or enforce an indemnification, exoneration or hold harmless rights under this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 of this Agreement or any other agreement or insurance policy or under the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws now or hereafter in effect relating to Claims for Covered Events, (ii) in specific cases if the Board has approved the initiation or bringing of such Claim, or (iii) as otherwise required under Section 145 of the DGCL, regardless of whether the Indemnitee ultimately is determined to be entitled to such indemnification, exoneration, hold harmless right, Expense Advances or insurance recovery, as the case may be.

 

(c)                                  Claims under Section 16(b). To indemnify, exonerate or hold harmless the Indemnitee for expenses and the payment of profits arising from the purchase and sale by the Indemnitee of securities in violation of Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act, or any similar successor statute; provided, however, that notwithstanding any limitation set forth in this Section 9(c) regarding the Company’s obligation to provide indemnification or exoneration or hold harmless rights, the Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive Expense Advances hereunder with respect to any such Claim unless and until a court having jurisdiction over the Claim shall have made a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that the Indemnitee has violated said statute.

 

10.                               SERVICES TO THE COMPANY. The Indemnitee agrees to serve as a director or officer of the Company or, at the request of the Company, as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, employee benefit plan, trust or other enterprise, for so long as the Indemnitee is duly elected or appointed or until the Indemnitee tenders his or her resignation or is removed from such position. The Indemnitee may at any time and for any reason resign from such position (subject to any other contractual obligation or any obligation imposed by operation of law), in which event the Company shall have no obligation under this Agreement to continue the Indemnitee in such position. This Agreement shall not be deemed an employment contract between the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other enterprise) and the Indemnitee. The Indemnitee specifically acknowledges that any employment with the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other enterprise) is at will, and the Indemnitee may be discharged at any time for any reason, with or without cause, with or without notice, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in any executed, written employment contract between the Indemnitee and the Company (or any of its subsidiaries or any other enterprise), any existing formal severance policies adopted by the Board or, with respect to service as a director or officer of the Company, the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or the DGCL. No such document shall be subject to any oral modification thereof.

 

11.                               BINDING EFFECT; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, including any direct or indirect successor by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company, spouses, heirs, and personal and legal representatives. The Company shall require and cause any successor (whether direct or indirect by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all, substantially all, or a substantial part, of the business and/or assets of the Company, by written agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee, expressly to assume and agree to perform this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. This Agreement shall continue in

 

9


 


 

effect regardless of whether the Indemnitee continues to serve as a director, officer, employee, agent or fiduciary (as applicable) of the Company or of any other enterprise at the Company’s request.

 

12.          EXPENSES INCURRED IN ACTION RELATING TO ENFORCEMENT OR INTERPRETATION. In the event that any action is instituted by the Indemnitee under this Agreement or under any liability insurance policies maintained by the Company to enforce or interpret any of the terms hereof or thereof, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified for all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee with respect to such action (including without limitation attorneys’ fees), regardless of whether the Indemnitee is ultimately successful in such action, unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material assertions made by the Indemnitee as a basis for such action was not made in good faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action. In the event of an action instituted by or in the name of the Company under this Agreement to enforce or interpret any of the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall be entitled to be indemnified, exonerated or held harmless for all Expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in defense of such action (including without limitation costs and expenses incurred with respect to the Indemnitee’s counterclaims and cross-claims made in such action), unless as a part of such action a court having jurisdiction over such action makes a final judicial determination (as to which all rights of appeal therefrom have been exhausted or lapsed) that each of the material defenses asserted by the Indemnitee in such action was made in bad faith or was frivolous; provided, however, that until such final judicial determination is made, the Indemnitee shall be entitled under Section 3 hereof to receive payment of Expense Advances hereunder with respect to such action.

 

13.          ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRUST. In the event of a Potential Change in Control, the Company, upon written request by the Indemnitee, shall create a trust for the benefit of the Indemnitee and from time to time upon written request of the Indemnitee shall fund such trust in an amount sufficient to satisfy any and all Expenses which at the time of each such request it is reasonably anticipated will be incurred in connection with a Claim (whether by reason of or arising in part out of a Covered Event) for which the Indemnitee is entitled to rights of indemnification under Section 2 hereof, including all interest, assessments and other charges incurred in connection with or in respect of such Expenses, from time to time actually paid or claimed, reasonably anticipated or proposed to be paid. The amount or amounts to be deposited in the trust pursuant to the foregoing funding obligation shall be determined by the Reviewing Party. The terms of the trust shall provide that upon a Change in Control (a) the trust shall not be revoked or the principal thereof invaded, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (b) the trustee shall advance, within two (2) business days of a request by the Indemnitee, any and all Expenses to the Indemnitee (and the Indemnitee hereby agrees to reimburse the trust under the circumstances under which the Indemnitee would be required to reimburse the Company under Section 2(b) hereof), (iii) the trust shall continue to be funded by the Company in accordance with the funding obligation set forth above, (iv) the trustee shall promptly pay to the Indemnitee all amounts for which the Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, and (v) all unexpended funds in such trust shall revert to the Company upon a final determination by the Reviewing Party or a court of competent jurisdiction, as the case may be, that Indemnitee has been fully indemnified under the terms of this Agreement. The trustee shall be an institutional trustee with a highly regarded reputation chosen by the Indemnitee. Nothing in this Section 13 shall relieve the Company of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

10



 

Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall prevent the Board in its discretion at any time and from time to time, upon request of the Indemnitee, from providing security to the Indemnitee for the Company’s obligations hereunder through an irrevocable line of credit or other collateral. Any such security, once provided to the Indemnitee, may not be revoked or released without the prior consent of the Indemnitee.

 

14.          NOTICES. All notices, requests, demands and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given (a) if delivered by hand and signed for by the party addressed, on the date of such delivery, or (b) if mailed by domestic certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date postmarked. Addresses for notice to either party are as shown on the signature page of this Agreement or as subsequently modified by written notice.

 

15.          SEVERABILITY. The provisions of this Agreement shall be severable in the event that any of the provisions hereof (including any provision within a single section, paragraph or sentence) are held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Furthermore, to the fullest extent possible, the provisions of this Agreement (including without limitation each portion of this Agreement containing any provision held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, that is not itself invalid, void or unenforceable) shall be construed so as to give effect to the intent manifested by the provision held invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

 

16.          COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile or electronic transmission, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, together, shall constitute one instrument.

 

17.          CHOICE OF LAW. This Agreement, and all rights, remedies, liabilities, powers and duties of the parties to this Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

 

18.          SUBROGATION. In the event of payment under this Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the rights of recovery of the Indemnitee from any insurance policy purchased by the Company, who shall execute all documents required and shall do all acts that may be necessary to secure such rights and to enable the Company effectively to bring suit to enforce such rights. In no event, however, shall the Company or any other person have any right of recovery, through subrogation or otherwise, against (i) the Indemnitee or (ii) any insurance policy purchased or maintained by the Indemnitee.

 

19.          AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing signed by both the parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be or shall constitute a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar), nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver.

 

20.          INTEGRATION AND ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes and merges all previous written and oral negotiations, commitments, understandings and agreements relating to the subject matter hereof between the parties hereto.

 

11



 

21.          NO CONSTRUCTION AS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as giving the Indemnitee any right to employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliated entities.

 

22.          PERIOD OF LIMITATIONS. No legal action shall be brought and no cause of action shall be asserted by or on behalf of the Company or any affiliate of the Company against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee’s spouse, heirs, executors or personal or legal representatives after the expiration of two (2) years from the date of such cause of action, or such longer period as may be required by state law under the circumstances, and any claim or cause of action of the Company or its affiliate shall be extinguished and deemed released unless asserted by the timely filing of a legal action within such period; provided, however, that if any shorter period of limitations is otherwise applicable to any such cause of action, such shorter period shall govern.

 

23.          ADDITIONAL ACTS. If for the validation of any of the provisions in this Agreement any act, resolution, approval or other procedure is required, the Company undertakes to cause such act, resolution, approval or other procedure to be affected or adopted in a manner that will enable the Company to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

2.                                       Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;

(a)                                  Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;

 

(b)                                 Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
