Standstill Agreement In consideration of the Confidential Information being furnished to the Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees that, for a period of one year from the date of this Agreement (or, such shorter period agreed to by the Company with a third party who is provided access to the Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction, the “Standstill Period”), unless expressly requested by the Company or its Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) in writing, the Receiving Party shall not (and shall cause its affiliates not to and shall cause its and their respective Representatives acting at its and their respective behalf not to): (a) in any manner acting alone or in concert with others, acquire, agree to acquire or make any proposal to acquire, directly or indirectly, by means of purchase, merger, business combination or in any other manner, beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company, direct or indirect rights to acquire any securities of the Company (including any derivative securities with economic equivalents of ownership of any of such securities), any right to vote or to direct the voting of any securities of the Company or any assets of the Company, (b) make, or in any way participate in, directly or indirectly, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote, or seek to advise or influence any person with respect to the voting of, any voting securities of the Company, (c) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) with respect to any voting securities of the Company, other than any group comprised solely of the Receiving Party and its affiliates, (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control, advise, change or influence the management, board of directors, governing instruments, policies or affairs of the Company, (e) make any public disclosure, or take any action that could require the Company to make any public disclosure, with respect to any of the matters set forth in this Agreement, other than the required amendment to the Receiving Party’s Schedule 13D filing as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement, (f) disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing or (g) have any discussions or enter into any arrangements (whether written or oral) with, or advise, assist or encourage any other persons in connection with any of the foregoing. The Receiving Party also agrees during such period not to request the Company or any of the Company Representatives, directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 6 (including this sentence). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) the Standstill Period shall terminate immediately if, after the date of this Agreement, (A) the Company enters into a definitive agreement with a third party to effectuate a sale of 50% or more of the consolidated assets of the Company or 50% or more of the Company’s outstanding equity securities, (B) the Company publicly announces the conclusion of its previously announced strategic review process without a definitive agreement to sell the Company, (C) the Company makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or commences any proceeding under any bankruptcy reorganization, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation law of any jurisdiction or (D) any bankruptcy petition is filed or any such proceeding is commenced against the Company and either (1) the Company indicates its approval thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein, or (2) such petition application or proceeding is not dismissed within 30 days and (ii) the Standstill Period solely with respect to clause (b) of this Section 6 shall terminate ten days prior to the expiration of the applicable time period for stockholders to nominate directors for election at the Company’s 2012 annual stockholders meeting to be scheduled in accordance with Section 8 hereof (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions in clauses (c), (d), (e), (f) and (g) of this Section 6 shall not apply to the activities that were previously expressly prohibited by clause (b) of this Section 6 in the event the restrictions in clause (b) are terminated pursuant to this clause (ii)).
Limited Condition Acquisitions Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any Loan Document to the contrary, when calculating any applicable ratio or any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, or determining other compliance with this Agreement (including the determination of compliance with any provision of this Agreement which requires that no Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom, but excluding Section 4.02 to the extent set forth therein) in connection with a Specified Transaction undertaken in connection with the consummation of a Limited Condition Acquisition, the date of determination of such ratio or any basket based on Consolidated EBITDA or total assets, and determination of whether any Default or Event of Default has occurred, is continuing or would result therefrom or other applicable covenant shall, at the option of the Borrower (the Borrower’s election to exercise such option in connection with any Limited Condition Acquisition, an “LCA Election”), be deemed to be the date the definitive agreements for such Limited Condition Acquisition are entered into (the “LCA Test Date”) and if, after such ratios and other provisions are measured on a Pro Forma Basis after giving effect to such Limited Condition Acquisition and the other Specified Transactions to be entered into in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) as if they occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period ending prior to the LCA Test Date, the Borrower could have taken such action on the relevant LCA Test Date in compliance with such ratios and provisions, such provisions shall be deemed to have been complied with; provided that no such acquisition shall constitute a Limited Condition Acquisition unless the Payment Conditions are satisfied on a Pro Forma Basis on the applicable LCA Test Date. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) if any of such ratios are exceeded as a result of fluctuations in such ratio (including due to fluctuations in Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries) at or prior to the consummation of the relevant Limited Condition Acquisition, such ratios and other provisions will not be deemed to have been exceeded as a result of such fluctuations solely for purposes of determining whether the Limited Condition Acquisition is permitted hereunder and (y) such ratios and other provisions shall not be tested at the time of consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition or related Specified Transactions. If the Borrower has made an LCA Election for any Limited Condition Acquisition, then in connection with any subsequent calculation of any ratio or basket availability with respect to any other Specified Transaction on or following the relevant LCA Test Date and prior to the earlier of the date on which such Limited Condition Acquisition is consummated or the date that the definitive agreement for such Limited Condition Transaction is terminated or expires without consummation of such Limited Condition Acquisition, any such ratio or basket shall be calculated on a Pro Forma Basis assuming such Limited Condition Acquisition and other transactions in connection therewith (including any incurrence of Indebtedness and the use of proceeds thereof) have been consummated.
