Understandings or Arrangements Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other persons to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities (this representation and warranty not limiting such Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement or otherwise in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). Such Purchaser is acquiring the Securities hereunder in the ordinary course of its business.
No Transfer; No Inconsistent Arrangements (a) Each Stockholder hereby agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until this Agreement is terminated, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, take any action that would have the effect of preventing, materially delaying or materially impairing such Stockholder from performing any of its obligations under this Agreement or that would, or would reasonably be expected to, have the effect of preventing, materially delaying or materially impairing, the consummation of the Offer, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement or the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Business Combination Agreement.
(b) Except as provided hereunder (which, for clarity, includes the tendering of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into the Offer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Business Combination Agreement), from and after the date hereof and until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, such Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) create or permit to exist any Encumbrance, other than Permitted Encumbrances, on any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, (ii) transfer, sell, assign, gift, hedge, distribute, pledge or otherwise dispose of (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by depositing, submitting or otherwise tendering any such Subject Shares into any tender or exchange offer other than the Offer and, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any transfer or entry into any derivative arrangement with respect to (collectively, “Transfer”), any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares, or any right or interest therein (or consent to any of the foregoing), (iii) enter into any Contract with respect to any Transfer of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or any legal or beneficial interest therein, (iv) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent in or with respect to any such Stockholder’s Subject Shares or (v) deposit or permit the deposit of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares. Any action taken in violation of the immediately preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Stockholder may Transfer all or any portion of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares to a Permitted Transferee (as defined below) (any such Transfer and any Transfer as Parent may agree pursuant to Section 4.01(d) below, a “Permitted Transfer”), provided, that a Transfer described in this sentence shall be a Permitted Transfer only if (x) all of the representations and warranties in this Agreement with respect to such Stockholder would be true and correct upon such Transfer and (y) the Permitted Transferee of such Subject Shares, prior to the date of such Transfer, agrees in a signed writing satisfactory to Parent (acting reasonably) to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a “Stockholder” for all purposes of this Agreement. “Permitted Transferee” means, (a) with respect to any Stockholder that is a legal Person, any wholly-owned subsidiary of such Person, and (b) with respect to any Stockholder who is a natural Person, (i) an immediate family member of such Stockholder, (ii) such Stockholder’s estate upon the death of such Stockholder, or (iii) any trust or other Person established by, or on behalf of, such Stockholder or his or her immediate family members for bona fide tax and/or estate planning purposes and controlled and wholly beneficially owned by, or maintained solely for the benefit of, such Stockholder and/or his or her immediate family members. If any involuntary Transfer of any of such Stockholder’s Subject Shares in the Company shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by such Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall, subject to applicable Law, take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, obligations, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.
Other Arrangements Nothing in this agreement shall be construed to prevent or inhibit other arrangements or practices of any party state or states to facilitate the interchange of educational personnel.
No Inconsistent Arrangements Except as contemplated by this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not during the term of this Agreement (i) transfer (which term shall include, without limitation, any sale, assignment, gift, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition), or consent to any transfer of, any or all of such Stockholder's Owned Shares or any interest therein, or create or permit to exist any Lien on such Owned Shares; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement or understanding with respect to any transfer of any or all of such Owned Shares or any interest therein; (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization in or with respect to such Owned Shares; (iv) deposit such Owned Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Owned Shares; or (v) take any other action that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of such Stockholder's obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Stockholder may transfer all or any of such Stockholder's Owned Shares to any trust, partnership or similar vehicle formed for estate, tax or family planning purposes of which such Stockholder controls and directs the vote, provided that as a condition of such transfer, such Stockholder notifies Grifols and provides Grifols with documentation reasonably satisfactory to Grifols indicating that the transferee agrees to be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement.
