Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On Monday, January 14, 2008, Insert Therapeutics, Inc. (“Insert”) and Calando Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Calando”), both majority owned subsidiaries of Arrowhead Research Corporation (the “Company”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Calando is to merge with and into Insert, with Insert continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

Recapitalization of Insert and Calando. Among other things, the Merger is conditioned upon the recapitalization of Insert and Calando to eliminate the preferred stock of each company. In the Insert recapitalization, immediately before the effective time of the Merger, each share of Insert Series B Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series C-2 Preferred Stock will be converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Insert (the “Insert Common Stock”). All warrants outstanding for the purchase of Insert Series D Preferred Stock will become exercisable for a like number of shares of Insert Common Stock. In the Calando recapitalization, immediately before the effective time of the Merger, each share of Calando Series A Preferred Stock will be converted into one share of Calando common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Calando Common Stock”).

Merger Share Exchange. At the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of Calando Common Stock, other than shares owned by any stockholders who are entitled to and who properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law, will be canceled and will be automatically converted into the right to receive shares of Insert Common Stock based on the relative valuation of Insert to Calando of 1 to 1.5, or a Merger share exchange ratio of 5.974126 shares of Insert Common Stock issued for each share of Calando Common Stock. Outstanding options to acquire Calando Common Stock will be converted into an option to acquire approximately 5.974126 shares of Insert Common Stock.

Terms of the Merger Agreement. Insert and Calando have made representations, warranties and covenants to one another in the Merger Agreement, which will expire at the effective time of the Merger. Consummation of the Merger is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) the representations and warranties of each party to the Merger Agreement being true in all material respects as of the closing; (ii) the performance or satisfaction in all material respects of all covenants and conditions of each party to the Merger Agreement; (iii) the completion of the recapitalization of Insert and Calando; (iv) the approval by a majority of Insert’s and Calando’s stockholders (excluding the Company), and (v) the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions.

Potential Termination or Modification of Certain Agreements. If the Merger is approved, the following agreements to which the Company is a party will terminate: (i) Insert’s Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, relating to Insert, dated as of June 4, 2004, (ii) Insert’s Voting Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2004, (iii) Calando’s Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006, (iv) Calando’s Amended and Restated Voting Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006, and (v) Calando’s Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006. Upon the effective date, the license agreement between Insert and Calando, dated as of March 14, 2005, pursuant to which Insert granted Calando worldwide exclusive rights to Insert’s intellectual property related technologies, and a broad patent application covering methods and uses for the therapeutic use of RNAi, including its linear cyclodextrin polymers, will terminate.


If the Merger is approved, pursuant to its terms, Insert will enter into an Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement (the “Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement”), restating Insert Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of June 4, 2004, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2005, and as further amended by Amendment No. 2 to Investors’ Rights Agreement, dated as of October 25, 2006.

If the Merger is approved, the Calando Agreement to Provide Additional Capital, dated as of March 31, 2006, between Calando and the Company will be amended and terminated to accelerate the payment of the remaining $6,000,000 payable thereunder, against receipt of the repayment of the principal and interest on all loans extended by the Company to either Insert or Calando ($4,000,000 principal as of the date of filing).

If the Merger is approved, the Company will own 66.5% of the outstanding shares of the combined company (61% on a fully diluted basis).

The Merger was unanimously approved by the board of directors of each of Insert and Calando, and Insert and Calando have solicited the approval of the Merger by their respective stockholders.

The above is a brief summary of the Merger Agreement and transaction contemplated pursuant to the Merger. The above summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which Merger Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.

The closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) and all actions specified in this Agreement to occur at the Closing shall take place at the offices of Morrison & Foerster LLP, 12531 High Bluff Drive, San Diego, California, or at such other location as the Parties hereto agree, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on the first business day following the day on which the last of the conditions set forth in Article VI shall have been fulfilled or waived (other than those conditions that by their nature are satisfied at Closing, but subject to the waiver of fulfillment of those conditions) or at such other time and place as Calando and Insert shall agree (the “Closing Date”). On the Closing Date and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Certificate of Merger”), executed in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Merger shall become effective at such time as a properly executed copy of the Certificate of Merger is duly filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (such time being referred to as the “Effective Time”). Effective as of the Effective Time and pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Merger, Insert shall change its name and shall thereafter be referred to as “Calando Pharmaceuticals, Inc.”

Section 2.3 Effects of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, all properties, rights, immunities, privileges, powers and franchises of Calando shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Calando shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

Section 2.4 Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At and following the Effective Time, the Restated Insert Certificate attached to the Certificate of Merger filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter duly amended.

Section 2.5 Directors and Officers.

(a) The directors of Insert immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, until the earlier of their resignation or removal or until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified, as the case may be. The directors of Insert as of the Effective Time shall be the directors as set forth on Schedule 2.5(a).

Section 2.6 Effect on Capital Stock; Merger Consideration. At the Effective Time and after giving effect to the Calando Recapitalization, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Calando or the stockholders of Calando, each share of Calando Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted and exchanged, without any action on the part of the holders thereof, into the right to receive a portion of the merger consideration (the “Merger Consideration”) as follows:

(a) Calando Common Stock. Each share of Calando Common Stock outstanding at the Effective Time after giving effect to the Calando Recapitalization (other than shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 2.6(d) and other than Dissenting Calando Shares, as hereinafter defined) will be cancelled and exchanged into that number of shares of Insert Common Stock which equal the amount obtained by dividing (i) 95,973,086 by (ii) the sum of (A) the number of shares of Calando Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (after giving effect to the Calando Recapitalization) and (B) the aggregate number of shares of Calando Common Stock that are subject to purchase upon exercise of all Calando options and other instruments exercisable for or convertible into Calando Common Stock (after giving effect to the Calando Recapitalization) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (the “Exchange Ratio”), subject to Section 2.6(e) and Section 2.6(f). Upon conversion, the former holders of the Calando Common Stock (including the Calando Common Stock issued to the former holders of Calando Preferred Stock in connection with Calando Recapitalization) will have the rights, preferences and privileges attached to the Insert Common Stock in place of the rights, preferences and privileges of the Calando Common Stock or Calando Preferred Stock, as applicable. These rights will be the same rights held by the holders (as constituted prior to the Effective Time) of Insert Common Stock as set forth in the Restated Insert Certificate and existing Bylaws of Insert. Upon surrender of the Certificates in accordance with Section 2.7 hereof, the Merger Consideration shall be issued to the approving holders of Calando Common Stock (including holders of Calando Common Stock issued in connection with the Calando Recapitalization) in the amounts as set forth on Schedule 2.6(a).

(b) Calando Stock Options.

(i) At the Effective Time and after giving effect to the Calando Recapitalization, each outstanding option to purchase shares of Calando Common Stock (each, a “Calando Stock Option”) under Calando’s 2005 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the “Calando Option Plan”) as set forth on Schedule 2.6(b), whether or not vested, shall by virtue of the Merger be assumed by Insert subject to the terms of the Calando Option Plan. Each Calando Stock Option so assumed by Insert under this Agreement will continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and conditions set forth in such options and the Calando Option Plan immediately prior to the Effective Time (including, without limitation, any repurchase rights or vesting provisions and provisions regarding the acceleration of vesting on certain transactions, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement), except that (A) each Calando Stock Option will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for a number of shares of Insert Common Stock equal to the product of (i) that number of shares of Calando Common Stock that were subject to such Calando Stock Option immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Insert Common Stock and (B) the per share exercise price for the shares of Insert Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Calando Stock Option will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the exercise price per share of Calando Common Stock at which such Calando Stock Option was exercisable immediately prior to the Effective Time by (ii) the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole tenth of a cent. Following the assumption of the Calando Stock Options, all references to Calando in the Calando Stock Options and the Calando Option Plan shall be deemed to refer to Insert.

(ii) As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, Insert shall deliver to each holder of an outstanding Calando Stock Option an appropriate notice setting forth such holder’s rights pursuant thereto and such Calando Stock Option shall continue in effect on the same terms and conditions (subject to the adjustments required by this Section 2.6(b) after giving effect to the Merger). Insert shall take all corporate action necessary to reserve for issuance a sufficient number of shares of Insert Common Stock for delivery upon exercise of such assumed Calando Stock Options pursuant to the terms set forth in this Section 2.6(b).

(iii) From and after the Effective Time, the Parties shall take all necessary action to comply with the obligations imposed by the Calando Option Plan on Insert, provided that no options or awards of any type shall be granted under the Calando Option Plan after the Effective Time.

(c) Reserved. [Intentionally omitted].

(d) Cancellation of Treasury Stock and Insert-Owned Stock. Each share of Calando Common Stock held in the treasury of Calando and any shares of Calando Common Stock owned by Insert or by any direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of Insert or Calando (including any shares of Calando Common Stock issued by Calando pursuant to a stock option) immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

 

10


(e) No Fractional Shares. In lieu of fractional shares that would otherwise be issued under this Agreement, holders of shares of Calando Common Stock that would have been entitled to receive a fractional share shall receive such whole number of shares of Insert Common Stock as is equal to the precise number of shares of Insert Common Stock to which such Person would be entitled, rounded up to the nearest whole number.

(f) Adjustments. Other than the Calando Recapitalization and Insert Recapitalization, the Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any stock split, reverse split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into Calando Common Stock or Insert Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to Calando Common Stock or Insert Common Stock occurring after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

Section 2.7 Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Procedures. At and following the Closing, the holders of Calando Common Stock shall have the right to surrender their Calando Common Stock to Insert in return for the Merger Consideration to which they are entitled as a result of the Merger. A representative of Insert will be available at the Closing to deliver certificates of Insert Common Stock to the holders of Calando Common Stock who surrender their Calando Common Stock certificates (the “Certificates”) at the Closing. For those Calando stockholders that do not surrender their Certificates at Closing, promptly after the Effective Time, Insert shall cause to be mailed to each holder of record of a Certificate or Certificates whose shares were converted into the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 2.6, (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon receipt of the Certificates by Insert, and shall be in such form and have such other provisions as Insert may reasonably specify); (ii) such other customary documents as may be reasonably required pursuant to such instructions; and (iii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for a portion of the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to Insert, together with such letter of transmittal and other documents, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holder of such Certificate shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor a portion of the Merger Consideration as set forth on Schedule 2.6(a), and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be cancelled. Until so surrendered, each outstanding Certificate that prior to the Effective Time represented shares of Calando Common Stock will be deemed from and after the Effective Time, for all corporate purposes, to evidence the right to receive a portion of the Merger Consideration into which the Calando Common Stock evidenced by such Certificate has been converted.

(b) Transfers of Ownership. The Merger Consideration delivered upon the surrender for exchange of Calando Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been delivered in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Calando Common Stock. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Calando shall be closed, and there shall thereafter be no further registration of transfers of Calando Common Stock on the records of Calando. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be cancelled in exchange for the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Article II.

 

11


(c) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, Insert shall pay to the record holder of such Certificate the Merger Consideration into which the shares of Calando Common Stock formerly represented by such Certificate have been converted pursuant to Section 2.6, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by such record holder; provided, however, that Insert may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the payment of such consideration, require such record holder to deliver a bond in such sums as Insert may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Insert with respect to such Certificate.

Section 2.8 Dissenting Shares.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, shares of Calando capital stock that are outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time held by a Person who shall not have voted to adopt this Agreement and who properly exercises and perfects appraisal rights for such shares in accordance with Section 262 of the DGCL or Section 1300(b) of the CGCL, as applicable (“Dissenting Calando Shares”), at or after the Effective Time shall not be converted into or represent the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6 unless and until such holder of Dissenting Calando Shares fails to perfect or withdraws or otherwise loses his rights to appraisal and payment under the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable, but shall be entitled only to such rights as are granted by the CGCL or the DGCL, as the case may be, to Dissenting Calando Shares. If, after the Effective Time, any such holder fails to perfect or withdraws or loses his right to appraisal, such Dissenting Calando Shares shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the portion of the Merger Consideration in accordance with Section 2.6 without interest. Non-dissenting stockholders shall not be entitled to any portion of the Merger Consideration otherwise payable with respect to any Dissenting Calando Shares.

(b) Calando shall give Insert (i) reasonably prompt notice of any written demand received by Calando prior to the Effective Time for appraisal of any shares of Calando capital stock pursuant to the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Calando prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. Calando shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Insert shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(c) Insert shall give Calando (i) reasonably prompt notice of any written demand received by Insert prior to the Effective Time for appraisal of any shares of Insert capital stock pursuant to the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable, any withdrawal of any such demand and any other demand, notice or instrument delivered to Insert prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the DGCL or CGCL, as applicable, and (ii) the opportunity to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument. Insert shall not make any payment or settlement offer prior to the Effective Time with respect to any such demand, notice or instrument unless Calando shall have consented in writing to such payment or settlement offer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

Section 2.9 Further Assurances. If at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation shall consider or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments or assurances or any other acts or things are necessary, desirable or proper (a) to vest, perfect or confirm, of record or otherwise, in the Surviving Corporation its right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of either of the Merging Corporations, or (b) to otherwise carry out the purposes of this Agreement, Calando or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable, and their respective proper officers and directors or their designees shall be authorized to execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of either of the Merging Corporations, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to do, in the name and on behalf of either Merging Corporation or any such stockholder, all such other acts and things as may be necessary, desirable or proper to vest, perfect or confirm the Surviving Corporation’s right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, privileges, powers, franchises, properties or assets of such Merging Corporation and otherwise to carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

ARTICLE III

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF INSERT

Insert represents and warrants to Calando that the statements contained in this Article III are current and complete, except as set forth in the Insert Schedule of Exceptions, which Insert Schedule of Exceptions shall specifically identify the section of this Agreement for which each exception is taken. Any matter disclosed in any section of the Insert Schedule of Exceptions shall be considered disclosed for other sections of the Insert Schedule of Exceptions, but only to the extent such matter on its face would reasonably be expected to be pertinent to a particular section of the Insert Schedule of Exceptions in light of the disclosure made in such section. The provision of monetary or other quantitative thresholds for disclosure does not and shall not be deemed to create or imply a standard of materiality hereunder.

Section 3.1 Organization, Power and Standing.

Insert is not a party or subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality that would reasonably be expected to result in any loss, expense, charge, assessment, levy, fine or other liability being imposed upon or incurred by Insert or any of its Subsidiaries that would have a Material Adverse Effect on Insert.

All Taxes required to have been paid by Insert (whether or not shown on any Tax Return, and whether or not disputed) have been paid or are reflected as a liability in the Insert Interim Financial Statements. There are no liens on any of the assets of Insert that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) timely to pay any Tax. No claim has ever been made by a Taxing Authority in a jurisdiction where the Insert does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction.

(b) There is no audit or other proceeding presently pending or threatened in writing (or otherwise to the Knowledge of Insert) with regard to any Tax liability, Tax Return, or obligation to file Tax Returns of or relating to Insert. To the Knowledge of Insert, there are no existing circumstances which reasonably may be expected to result in the assertion of any claim for Taxes against Insert by any Taxing Authority with respect to any taxable period or transaction for which Tax Returns are required to have been filed or Tax is required to have been paid by Insert.

(c) Insert has not taken any action not in accordance with past practice that would have the effect of deferring a measure of Tax from a period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date to a period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Insert has no deferred income or Tax liability arising out of any transaction, except to the extent adequately reserved for in the Insert Interim Financial Statements or arising thereafter in accordance with past practice in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, by reason of the use of the installment method pursuant to Section 453 of the Code or open transaction treatment, the receipt of any prepaid amount on or before the Closing Date, any positive adjustment required to be made under Section 481 of the Code.

 

20

(g) Insert (i) is not and has not been a member of an affiliated group (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code) or similar group of entities with which Insert, or was or may be required to join, for any taxable period in making a consolidated federal income Tax Return or other Tax Return in which Tax liability was or would be computed on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis, and (ii) does not have and has not had a relationship to any other Person which would cause it to be liable for Tax liability of such other Person, including, without limitation, Tax payable by reason of contract, assumption, transferee liability, operation of Law, or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision of Law).

(h) There is currently no limitation on the use of Tax attributes of Insert, including without limitation its net operating loss carryovers, under Sections 269, 382, 383, or 384 of the Code (and similar provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law).

(i) Insert has not been a beneficiary of or participated in any “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(1) that was, is, or to the knowledge of Insert will ever be, required to be disclosed under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4. No Tax Return filed by or on behalf of Insert has contained a disclosure statement under Section 6662 of the Code (or any similar provision of Law), and no Tax Return has been filed by or on behalf of Insert with respect to which the preparer of such Tax Return advised consideration of inclusion of such a disclosure, which disclosure was not made.

(j) All Insert Stock Options (i) were granted in connection with the performance of “services” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code and (ii) when granted did not have a “reasonably ascertainable fair market value” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-7(b).

(k) Within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and without regard to Sections 280G(b)(4)(A) and 280G(b)(5), Insert has not made any payments, is not obligated to make any payments, and is not a party to any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement requiring it to make payments to any Person that would be a parachute payment as a result of any event

 

21


connected with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and Insert is not a party to any contract or agreement that will have continuing effect after the Closing Date that under certain circumstances could require any payment (or be deemed to give rise to any payment) that would be a parachute payment.

(l) Neither Insert nor any of its stockholders have taken any action or has Knowledge of any existing facts or circumstances that could, either alone or in combination with other events occurring on or before the Closing Date, cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(m) Insert has made available to Calando complete and accurate copies of all of the following materials: (i) all income Tax Returns filed by Insert that relate to taxable periods since inception, (ii) all examination reports relating to Taxes of Insert as a result of audits, examinations or asserted failures to file Tax Returns or pay Taxes, and (iii) all statements of Taxes assessed against or agreed to by Insert since inception that were not shown on Tax Returns filed for the relevant taxable period by Insert before such assessment.

The information provided by Insert to be included in a combined information statement between Insert and Calando (the “Information Statement”) to be delivered to stockholders of Insert and Calando (i) will not contain any untrue statement of material fact, or (ii) will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the information contained in the Information Statement (in light of the circumstances under which the information was provided) not misleading.

Calando is not a party to or bound by any currently effective employment contract, deferred compensation agreement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan, retirement agreement or other employee compensation agreement.

Section 4.22 Tax Matters.

(a) Calando has filed (or has had filed on its behalf) all Tax Returns it is required to have filed. All such Tax Returns are correct and complete in all material respects. All Taxes required to have been paid by Calando (whether or not shown on any Tax Return, and whether or not disputed) have been paid or are reflected as a liability in the Calando Interim Financial Statements. There are no liens on any of the assets of Calando that arose in connection with any failure (or alleged failure) timely to pay any Tax. No claim has ever been made by a Taxing Authority in a jurisdiction where the Calando does not file Tax Returns that it is or may be subject to taxation by that jurisdiction. Calando has not commenced activities in any jurisdiction which will result in an initial filing of any Tax Return with respect to Taxes imposed by a Taxing Authority that it had not previously been required to file in the immediately preceding taxable period.

(b) There is no audit or other proceeding presently pending or threatened in writing (or otherwise to the Knowledge of Calando) with regard to any Tax liability, Tax Return, or obligation to file Tax Returns of or relating to Calando. To the Knowledge of Calando, there are no existing circumstances which reasonably may be expected to result in the assertion of any claim for Taxes against Calando by any Taxing Authority with respect to any taxable period or transaction for which Tax Returns are required to have been filed or Tax is required to have been paid by Calando.

(c) Calando has not taken any action not in accordance with past practice that would have the effect of deferring a measure of Tax from a period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Closing Date to a period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date. Calando has no deferred income or Tax liability arising out of any transaction, except to the extent adequately reserved for in the Calando Interim Financial Statements or arising thereafter in accordance with past practice in the ordinary course of business, including, without limitation, by reason of the use of the installment method pursuant to Section 453 of the Code or open transaction treatment, the receipt of any prepaid amount on or before the Closing Date, any positive adjustment required to be made under Section 481 of the Code.

 

29


(d) Neither Calando nor any Person on behalf of the Calando has waived any statute of limitations or agreed to any extension of time that has continuing effect with respect to assessment or collection of any Tax for which Calando may be held liable.

(e) Calando has not and will not be subject to accumulated earnings Tax contained in Sections 531 and 532 of the Code for periods ending on or before the Closing Date.

(f) Calando is not and has not been a party to any Tax allocation, Tax sharing or similar agreement or arrangement the principal purpose of which is or was the allocation of Tax liabilities computed on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis among entities that have or will be required to compute their Tax liability by filing Tax Returns on such a basis, and has entered into no agreement pursuant to which it has indemnified any other Person for Taxes incurred by such Person.

(g) Calando (i) is not and has not been a member of an affiliated group (within the meaning of Section 1504(a) of the Code) or similar group of entities with which Calando, or was or may be required to join, for any taxable period in making a consolidated federal income Tax Return or other Tax Return in which Tax liability was or would be computed on a consolidated, combined, unitary or similar basis, and (ii) does not have and has not had a relationship to any other Person which would cause it to be liable for Tax liability of such other Person, including, without limitation, Tax payable by reason of contract, assumption, transferee liability, operation of Law, or Treasury Regulations Section 1.1502-6(a) (or any predecessor or successor thereof or any analogous or similar provision of Law).

(h) There is currently no limitation on the use of Tax attributes of Calando, including without limitation its net operating loss carryovers, under Sections 269, 382, 383, or 384 of the Code (and similar provisions of state, local or foreign Tax Law).

(i) Calando has not been a beneficiary of or participated in any “reportable transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4(b)(1) that was, is, or to the knowledge of Calando will ever be, required to be disclosed under Treasury Regulations Section 1.6011-4. No Tax Return filed by or on behalf of Calando has contained a disclosure statement under Section 6662 of the Code (or any similar provision of Law), and no Tax Return has been filed by or on behalf of Calando with respect to which the preparer of such Tax Return advised consideration of inclusion of such a disclosure, which disclosure was not made.

(j) All Calando Stock Options (i) were granted in connection with the performance of “services” within the meaning of Section 83 of the Code and (ii) when granted did not have a “reasonably ascertainable fair market value” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.83-7(b).

(k) Within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code and without regard to Sections 280G(b)(4)(A) and 280G(b)(5), Calando has not made any payments, is not obligated to make any payments, and is not a party to any contract, agreement, plan or arrangement requiring it to make payments to any Person that would be a parachute payment as a result of any event connected with the Merger or any other transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and Calando is not a party to any contract or agreement that will have continuing effect after the Closing Date that under certain circumstances could require any payment (or be deemed to give rise to any payment) that would be a parachute payment.

 

30


(l) Neither Calando nor any of its stockholders have taken any action or has Knowledge of any existing facts or circumstances that could, either alone or in combination with other events occurring on or before the Closing Date, cause the Merger to fail to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

(m) Calando has made available to Insert complete and accurate copies of all of the following materials: (i) all income Tax Returns filed by Calando that relate to taxable periods ending after December 31, 2005, (ii) all examination reports relating to Taxes of Calando as a result of audits, examinations or asserted failures to file Tax Returns or pay Taxes, and (iii) all statements of Taxes assessed against or agreed to by Calando since January 1, 2004 that were not shown on Tax Returns filed for the relevant taxable period by Calando before such assessment.

Section 4.23 Information Statement. The information provided by Calando to be included in the Information Statement to be delivered to stockholders of Insert and Calando (i) will not contain any untrue statement of material fact, or (ii) will not omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the information contained in the Information Statement (in light of the circumstances under which the information was provided) not misleading.

No such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the recipient of such notice shall, within a five (5) day period following the receipt of such notice, use its commercially reasonable efforts to engage in good faith discussions with the notifying Party regarding such notification and the facts and circumstances set forth therein.

Section 5.8 Reorganization.

The Parties intend that the Merger shall qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(A) of the Code.
