ASSET CONTRIBUTION AND REORGANIZATION AGREEMENT
Asset Contribution and Reorganization Agreement entered into as of August
31, 1999, by and among XxxxxxXx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("PlanetRx"),
--------
PRX Holdings, a Delaware corporation ("Holdings"), PRX Acquisition Corp., a
--------
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holdings ("Merger Sub"),
----------
XxxxXxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("YPC"), and Express Scripts,
---
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("ESI"). PlanetRx, Holdings, Merger Sub, YPC and
ESI are collectively referred to herein as the "Parties," and each individually
as a "Party."
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Boards of Directors of PlanetRx and YPC have determined that
it is in the best interests of their respective stockholders that PlanetRx be
combined with certain assets of YPC's online pharmacy business;
WHEREAS, to effect such combination, PlanetRx has caused Holdings and
Merger Sub to be formed;
WHEREAS, for federal income tax purposes, it is intended that the
Contribution (as defined in Section 1(a)) and the Merger (as defined in Section
1(b)) shall constitute one or more integrated aspects of a transaction
qualifying as a tax-deferred property-for-stock exchange described under Section
351 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"); and
WHEREAS, the Contribution and the Merger are to occur simultaneously with
the closing of Holdings' initial public offering of Common Stock (the "IPO"),
and as a result of these transactions, the issued and outstanding capital stock
of Holdings immediately after the Merger will be held by YPC, the former
stockholders of PlanetRx and purchasers in the IPO.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises
herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties, and
covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Basic Transactions
------------------
(a) Contribution of Assets by/Assumption of Liabilities of YPC. In
----------------------------------------------------------
consideration for the issuance of a certain number of fully paid, non-assessable
shares of common stock of Holdings equal to 19.9% of Holdings' outstanding
common stock immediately after the closing of the IPO (including, at YPC's
option and in its sole discretion, for purposes of calculating the number of
shares outstanding as of the time of the initial closing of the IPO any shares
that may be sold by Holdings pursuant to exercises of the underwriters' over-
allotment option) (the "Holdings Shares"), and the assumption by Holdings of the
liabilities of YPC set forth on Schedule II to this Agreement (the "Assumed
Liabilities"), YPC agrees to assign, transfer, convey, and deliver to Holdings
all of the right, title, and interest in and to the assets of YPC set forth on
Schedule I to this Agreement (the "Contributed Assets"). Holdings will not
assume or have any responsibility with respect to any other obligation or
liability of YPC, including any tax liabilities incurred or accrued prior to the
Closing, not included within the definition of Assumed
1
Liabilities. The transaction referred to in this Section 1 is referred to herein
as the "Contribution." It is the intention of the parties that YPC shall hold
19.9% of Holdings outstanding common stock immediately after the closing of the
IPO and the transactions contemplated herein, including after any exercise of
the underwriters' over-allotment option in connection with the IPO. In the event
the underwriters' over-allotment option shall not be exercised in full within
the 30-day period after the pricing of the IPO, YPC agrees to return to Holdings
free of charge the number of Holdings Shares as may be necessary to cause YPC's
ownership of Holdings outstanding common stock as of such time not to exceed
19.9%.
(b) The Merger. Holdings, PlanetRx and Merger Sub shall enter into an
----------
Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit A, and in compliance with Section 251(g) of the Delaware
---------
General Corporation Law ("Delaware Law"), pursuant to which, among other things,
Merger Sub shall be merged with and into PlanetRx , the separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub shall cease, the PlanetRx stockholders shall receive
shares of Holdings' common stock in exchange for their shares of PlanetRx, and
PlanetRx shall continue as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Holdings (the "Merger").
(c) The Closing. For purposes hereof, the Parties agree that the closing
-----------
of the Merger shall take place immediately prior to the closing of the
Contribution (collectively, the "Closing"), both of which shall take place
-------
immediately prior to the closing of the IPO at the time and place designated for
the closing of the IPO (the "Closing Date").
------------
(d) Deliveries at the Closing. At the Closing,
-------------------------
(i) YPC will deliver to Holdings the various certificates,
instruments, and documents referred to in Section 5(a) below;
(ii) Holdings will deliver to YPC the various certificates,
instruments, and documents referred to in Section 5(b) below;
(iii) YPC will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to Holdings (A)
assignments (including intellectual property transfer documents) in the form
customary for transactions of this type and (B) such other instruments of sale,
transfer, conveyance, and assignment as Holdings and its counsel reasonably may
request;
(iv) Holdings will execute, acknowledge, and deliver to YPC (A) an
assumption in the form customary for transactions of this type and (B) such
other instruments of assumption as YPC and its counsel reasonably may request;
(v) Holdings will deliver to YPC the Holdings Shares; and
(vi) the Parties shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing
the Merger Agreement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, as
provided in the Merger Agreement.

with which YPC has a material relationship to be Year 2000 Compliant would have
or would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on YPC and
assuming the consummation of the YPC-Y2K Plan, the occurrence of calendar year

of PlanetRx, Holdings and Merger Sub represents and warrants to YPC and ESI that

Incorporation or Bylaws of PlanetRx, Holdings or Merger Sub or of any contract
or agreement to which any of them is now a party, except where such conflict,

cause or will not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on
PlanetRx or Holdings.

Department of Justice under the Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Antitrust Improvements Act of
1976, as amended (the "Xxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act"), will use its best efforts to

further filings pursuant thereto that may be necessary, proper, or advisable in
connection therewith.
(c) Full Access. Prior to the Closing, YPC will permit representatives of
-----------
PlanetRx and Holdings to have full access at all reasonable times, and in a
manner so as not to interfere with the normal business operations of YPC, to all
premises, properties, personnel, books, records (including tax records),
contracts, and documents of or pertaining to the Contributed Assets or Assumed
Liabilities.
(d) Notice of Developments. Each Party will give prompt written notice to
----------------------
the other Parties of any material adverse development causing a breach of any of
its own representations and warranties in Section 2 and Section 3 above.
(e) Exclusivity. YPC and ESI will not (i) solicit, initiate, or encourage
-----------
the submission of any proposal or offer from any individual, a partnership, a
corporation, an association, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an
unincorporated organization, or a governmental entity (or any department,
agency, or political subdivision thereof) ("Person") relating to the acquisition
of any capital stock or other voting securities, or any substantial
6
portion of the assets, of YPC (including any acquisition structured as a merger,
consolidation, or share exchange) or (ii) participate in any discussions or
negotiations regarding, furnish any information with respect to, assist or
participate in, or facilitate in any other manner any effort or attempt by any
Person to do or seek any of the foregoing. YPC will notify Holdings immediately
if any Person makes any proposal, offer, inquiry, or contact with respect to any
of the foregoing.
(f) Certificate of Incorporation of Holdings. Immediately prior to the
----------------------------------------
filing of the Merger Agreement with the Delaware Secretary of State, PlanetRx
shall cause the Certificate of Incorporation of Holdings to be amended and
restated to read as set forth in exhibit 3.2 to the Registration Statement.
Additionally, prior to or at the filing of the Merger Agreement with the
Delaware Secretary of State, the corporate name of Holdings shall be changed to
"XxxxxxXx.xxx, Inc."
(g) ESI Consents. ESI shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the
-------------
ESI Consents within 21 days after the date of this Agreement.
(h) Registration of Holdings Shares. Holdings and PlanetRx agree that, to
-------------------------------
the extent allowed by the SEC, Holdings will register the Holdings Shares in the
IPO. Regardless of whether the Holdings Shares are registered in the IPO, YPC
shall be made a party to the Investors Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement")
dated as of June 3, 1999 between Holdings (as successor to PlanetRx) and certain
investors of Holdings identified in Schedule A thereto, which Rights Agreement
shall have been amended such that (a) the registration rights provided for in
Section 1.4 of the Rights Agreement shall also be made available upon the
written request of Holders of Registrable Securities with an anticipated
aggregate offering price of at least $2,000,000 and (b) the rights provided for
in Section 1 shall not terminate with respect to YPC until five (5) years
following the consummation of the IPO. In addition, Holdings and PlanetRx
further agree that they shall not consent to any amendment or waiver in
connection with the Rights Agreement the effect of which would materially
adversely affect YPC's substantive rights under said Rights Agreement, unless
YPC has consented to such amendment or waiver. Additionally, if Holdings is not
able to register the Holdings Shares in the IPO, Holdings and PlanetRx agree
that, upon request by YPC, Holdings will effect registration of the Holdings
Shares in accordance with the provisions contained in Exhibit B attached hereto.
---------
If Holdings is not able to register the Holdings Shares in the IPO, then YPC
understands and agrees that (i) the Holdings Shares will be characterized as
"restricted securities" under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are
being acquired from Holdings in a transaction not involving a public offering
and that under such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be
resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited
circumstances, and (ii) each certificate representing the Holdings Shares and
any other securities issued in respect of the Holdings Shares upon any stock
split, stock dividend, recapitalization, merger or similar event (unless no
longer required in the opinion of counsel for Holdings) shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with appropriate legends mandated by federal and state
securities laws.
(i) Lock-up Agreement/NASD Questionnaire. Prior to the Closing, YPC shall
------------------------------------
execute a 180-day lock-up agreement with respect to the IPO in the form signed
by Holdings' officers, directors and other stockholders, except as provided in
Section 1(a) above. Additionally, YPC shall complete and deliver to Holdings
such questionnaires and other
7
information reasonably and customarily requested from stockholders in connection
with an initial public offering of common stock, including a form of NASD
questionnaire.
(j) YPC Employees. Immediately after the Closing, Holdings shall offer
-------------
employment to all YPC employees. Holdings shall reimburse YPC for any severance
costs incurred by YPC for employees who do not accept employment with Holdings,
up to a maximum of $2,500,000. Effective at the Closing, the YPC's Stock
Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "YPC Stock Plan") and each outstanding option to
purchase shares of YPC Common Stock under the YPC Stock Plan, whether vested or
unvested, will be assumed by Holdings, and such obligations shall be included
within the Assumed Liabilities; provided, however, that the number of shares
-----------------
underlying such assumed options shall not exceed 3.6% of Holdings' outstanding
common stock after giving effect to the closing of the IPO and the issuance of
the Holdings Shares. Each such option so assumed by Holdings under this
Agreement shall continue to have, and be subject to, the same terms and
conditions set forth in the YPC Stock Plan and the applicable stock option
agreement immediately prior to the Closing, except that the number of shares
subject to said options shall be adjusted such that the total number of shares
underlying said options shall equate to approximately 3.6% of the total number
of PlanetRx shares outstanding immediately after the closing of the IPO
(excluding any over-allotment shares) and the issuance of the Holdings Shares
(excluding any over-allotment shares) to YPC, and the per share exercise price
thereof shall be adjusted accordingly. Consistent with the terms of the YPC
Stock Plan and the documents governing the outstanding options under such plan,
the Closing will not terminate any of the outstanding options under the YPC
Stock Plan or the shares of Holdings' common stock which will be subject to
those options upon the Holdings's assumption of the options in connection with
this Agreement. After the Closing, Holdings will issue to each person who,
immediately prior to the Closing was a holder of an outstanding option under the
YPC Stock Plan a document in form and substance satisfactory to YPC evidencing
the foregoing assumption of such option by Holdings. On or before the Closing
Date, Holdings will reserve a sufficient number of shares of its authorized but
unissued common stock to cover the exercise of all of such assumed options. The
names of employees and the number of options granted by YPC to each shall be
specified in a schedule to be delivered by YPC prior to Closing.
(k) Board Seat. Holdings hereby agrees that ESI, or its designee, shall
----------
be entitled, from and after the Closing, to designate one member of the Board of
Directors of Holdings, such member to be reasonably acceptable to Holdings, it
being understood that Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx or any senior or executive vice president
of ESI shall be deemed acceptable to Holdings (such director being referred to
herein as the "Stockholder Director"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any
time ESI's percentage beneficial ownership of Holdings' outstanding common stock
is less than five percent (5%), ESI thereafter shall not be entitled to
designate a director. The Stockholder Director shall be entitled to the same
indemnification, compensation and other benefits provided to all other non-
employee members of Holdings' Board of Directors. In accordance with the
foregoing, Holdings hereby agrees that its Board of Directors will take all
action necessary such that upon the fifth (5th) business day following the
Closing, Holdings' Board of Directors shall be increased in size, if necessary,
and the person designated by ESI shall be elected as a director effective upon
such date. Following the Closing, Holdings shall cause (i) the person designated
by ESI as a director to be included (consistent with applicable law and
Holdings' Certificate of Incorporation) in the group of nominees who are
recommended for election to the Board of Directors by the management of Holdings
and included in Holdings' proxy statement pursuant to
8
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, at each meeting of stockholders
of Holdings when directors are to be elected, and (ii) at any special meeting of
the Board of Directors held as soon as practicable after the creation of any
vacancy as a result of the death, resignation or removal of the Stockholder
Director, the appointment of such person or persons as are designated by ESI to
fill any such vacancy. Unless written notice, signed by the President of ESI,
designating another individual shall be received by Holdings, the Stockholder
Director shall be Xxxxxxx X. Xxxx.
(l) Shut-down Costs. Holdings shall reimburse YPC for any costs
---------------
relating to terminating any of YPC's functions in connection with the
Contributions, not to exceed $500,000 (exclusive of severance costs set forth in
Section 4(j)).
5. Conditions to Obligation to Close.
----------------------------------
(a) Conditions to Obligation of Holdings. The obligation of Holdings to
------------------------------------
consummate the transactions to be performed by it in connection with the Closing
is subject to satisfaction of the following conditions:

Date;
(ii) YPC shall have performed and complied with all of its covenants
hereunder in all material respects through the Closing;
(iii) YPC shall have procured all of the third party consents
specified in Section 4(b) above;
(iv) no action, suit, or proceeding shall be pending or threatened
before any court or quasi-judicial or administrative agency of any federal,

judgment, order, decree, ruling, or charge would (A) prevent consummation of any
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (B) cause any of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be rescinded following
consummation, or (C) affect adversely the right of Holdings to own the
Contributed Assets;
(v) YPC shall have delivered to Holdings a certificate to the

-------------------
1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Exhibit B, capitalized terms
----------- ---------

to which this Exhibit B is attached. In addition, the following terms used
---------
herein shall have the following meanings:
(a) The term "Form S-1" means such form under the Act as in
effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently
adopted by the SEC which does not permit inclusion or incorporation of
substantial information by reference to other documents filed by Holdings with
the SEC.

effect on the date hereof or any registration form under the Act subsequently

effectiveness of such registration statement or document.
(e) The term "stock" means the Holdings Shares, as defined in
the Asset Contribution and Reorganization Agreement
1.2 Request for Registration. As soon as practicable after the
------------------------
Closing, Holdings shall effect a registration on a Form S-1 and any related
qualification or compliance with respect to one half of the Stock and all such
qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or
facilitate the sale and distribution of such Stock. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Section 1.2, Holdings shall not be obligated to effect any
such registration, qualification or compliance, pursuant to this Section 1.2:
(i) if Holdings shall furnish to YPC a certificate signed by the President of
Holdings stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of
Holdings, such registration should be deferred due to material events directly
relating to Holdings, in which event Holdings shall have the right to defer the
filing of the Form S-1 for a period of not more than 90 days after receipt of
the request of YPC under this Section 1.2 (provided, however, that Holdings may
defer such registration only once); or (ii) in any particular jurisdiction in
which Holdings would be required to qualify to do business or to execute a
general consent to service of process in effecting such registration,
qualification or compliance.
1.3 Obligations of Holdings. In connection with the registration on
-----------------------
Form S-1, Holdings shall:
B-1
(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a Form S-1 with respect to
such Stock and use its best efforts to cause such registration statement to
become effective as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than
one hundred and eighty (180) days after the Closing. Holdings shall keep such
registration statement effective until the earlier of (i) two (2) years after
the Closing, (ii) the distribution of all of the Stock as contemplated in the
registration statement has been completed, and (iii) the date which all shares
of the Stock held by YPC may immediately be sold under Rule 144 during any 90-
day period.
(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and
supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection
with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered
by such registration statement.
(c) Furnish to YPC such numbers of copies of a prospectus,
including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the
Act, and such other documents as YPC may reasonably request in order to
facilitate the disposition of the Stock.
(d) Use its best efforts to register and qualify the securities
covered by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky
laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by YPC; provided
that Holdings shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition
thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of
process in any such states or jurisdictions.
(e) Notify YPC covered by such registration statement at any
time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the
Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included
in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement
of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light
of the circumstances then existing.
(f) Cause all such Stock registered pursuant hereunder to be
listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by
Holdings are then listed.
(g) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all of the Stock
registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Stock, in each
case not later than the effective date of such registration.
1.4 Investor Obligation to Furnish Information. It shall be a
------------------------------------------
condition precedent to the obligations of Holdings to take any action pursuant
hereto with respect to the Stock that YPC shall furnish to Holdings such
information regarding itself, the Stock, and the intended method of disposition
of such securities as shall be required to effect the registration of such
Stock.
1.5 Expenses of Registration. All expenses incurred in connection
------------------------
with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant hereto, including
(without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers'
and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for Holdings (including
fees and disbursements of counsel for Holdings in its capacity as
counsel to YPC hereunder but excluding the fees and disbursements of any other
counsel for YPC) shall be borne by Holdings.
1.6 Indemnification. In the event any Stock is included in a
---------------
registration statement under Section 1.2:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, Holdings will indemnify and
hold harmless YPC, any underwriter (as defined in the Act) for YPC and each
person, if any, who controls YPC or underwriter within the meaning of the Act or
the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which they may become subject under the Act, the 1934 Act or other
federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities
(or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the
following statements, omissions or violations (collectively a "Violation"): (i)
any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
such registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final
prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto, (ii) the
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or
(iii) any violation or alleged violation by Holdings of the Act, the 1934 Act,
any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Act,
the 1934 Act or any state securities law; and Holdings will pay to YPC, or such
underwriter or controlling person, as incurred, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the
indemnity agreement contained in this subsection (a) shall not apply to amounts
paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of Holdings (which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld), nor shall Holdings be liable in any such case for any
such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out
of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity
with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such
registration by any such Investor, underwriter or controlling person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, YPC will indemnify and hold
harmless Holdings, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed
the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls Holdings within
the meaning of the Act, any underwriter, and any controlling person of any such
underwriter, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or
several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the
Act, the 1934 Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are
based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent)
that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such
registration; and each such Investor will pay, as incurred, any legal or other
expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant
to this subsection (b), in connection with investigating or defending any such
loss, claim, damage, liability, or action; provided, however, that the indemnity
agreement contained in this subsection (b) shall not apply to amounts paid in
settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such
settlement is effected without the consent of YPC, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld; provided, that, in no event shall any indemnity under
this subsection (b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by YPC.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 1.6 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any
governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.6, deliver to
the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the
indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually
satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party
(together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without
conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel,
with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if
representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the
indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such
counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the
indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such
action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such
indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section
1.6, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under this Section 1.6.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 1.6 is
held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified
party with respect to any loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense referred to
therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the
indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss,
liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the
indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things,
whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent,
knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the
provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in an underwriting
agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are
in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting
agreement shall control.
(f) The obligations of Holdings and YPC under this Section 1.6
shall survive the completion of any offering of the Stock in a registration
statement pursuant hereto, and otherwise.
