What is an Integration Agreement?

An integration agreement, also referred to as an integration clause or a merger clause, is a provision in a legal contract that states that the agreement between the parties as outlined in the contract is final and complete. If there is an integration agreement in a contract, that contract will supersede all prior negotiations and agreements on the topic. Integration agreements are especially important if a breach of contract claim arises, and a party files a lawsuit against the other. It is common in contract disputes for one party to argue that a previous agreement was valid and should be enforced. When an integration clause is included in a document, both parties are protected from prior negotiations being held against them.

If either MTFG or UFJ Holdings receives a proposal for a Third Party Collaboration (the “Third Party Proposal”) from a third party (the “Third Party Offeror”) prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement Between Holding Companies, and reasonably determines that the failure to consider such proposal would likely result in a breach of the fiduciary duties of the directors or corporate auditors of the party receiving such proposal (the “Proposal Receiving Party”) under the Commercial Code of Japan, the Proposal Receiving Party shall promptly notify the other party (the “Proposal Non-Receiving Party”) in writing of such determination, together with copies of the Third Party Proposal received by it from the Third Party Offeror and all written notices relating thereto, and the Proposal Non-Receiving Party shall, upon the receipt of such notice from the Proposal Receiving Party, promptly commence good faith discussions with the Proposal Receiving Party with respect to the response to the Third Party Proposal. So long as the Proposal Receiving Party, after so notifying and having so discussed with the Proposal Non-Receiving Party in good faith, has entered into a confidentiality agreement (containing confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those of the Proposal Non-Receiving Party to the Proposal Receiving Party in connection with the Business Integration) with the Third Party Offeror in connection with discussion, negotiation or provision of information relating to such Third Party Proposal, and has provided the Proposal Non-Receiving Party with a copy of such confidentiality agreement, the Proposal Receiving Party shall be entitled to discuss and negotiate with, and provide information to, the Third Party Offeror in connection with the Third Party Proposal (in this item, such discussion, negotiation and provision of information is referred to as the “Discussions”), notwithstanding the provisions of Section 48(3) hereof and Section 40 of the Basic Memorandum of Agreement; provided, however, that if the Proposal Receiving Party receives from or gives to the Third Party Offeror any written document in connection with the Discussions, the Proposal Receiving Party shall give to the Proposal Non-Receiving Party a copy of such document by the morning of the business day immediately following the day on which such document is received or given, and shall provide the Proposal Non-Receiving Party with detailed

 

14


 

information about the Discussions to a reasonable extent promptly after the day on which such Discussions were held.

 

  (2)   The Proposal Non-Receiving Party shall, within ten (10) days from receipt of the notice of the Third Party Proposal provided for in item (1) above, have the option to offer new terms and conditions of the Business Integration (the “New Terms”) in writing to the Proposal Receiving Party.

 

  (3)   Immediately after the expiration of the period provided for in item (2) above, MTFG and UFJ Holdings shall commence good faith discussions of the measures concerning the terms and conditions of the Business Integration (if the New Terms are offered, the New Terms) and the Third Party Proposal, taking into consideration all related circumstances. If, as the result of such discussion, MTFG and UFJ Holdings reach an agreement (such agreement shall not be refused or delayed without any reasonable cause; and the burden of proving in advance that there is no such reasonable cause is placed on the Proposal Receiving Party), they may, on the agreed terms and conditions, (a) modify the terms and conditions of the Mergers, (b) exempt the Proposal Receiving Party from its obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, those provided for in Sections 9.2 through 9.4 and items (1) and (6) of Section 47), or (c) terminate this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any action of the Proposal Receiving Party pursuant to this Section 50 shall not constitute any breach of its obligations under this Agreement, the Basic Memorandum of Agreement and/or the Basic Agreement of Recapitalization.
