No Vote of Parent Stockholders No vote of the stockholders of Parent or the holders of any other securities of Parent (equity or otherwise) is required by any applicable Law, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws or other equivalent organizational documents of Parent or the applicable rules of any exchange on which securities of Parent are traded, in order for Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
Parent Stockholders’ Meeting (i) Parent will, in accordance with applicable Law and its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, establish a record date for, duly call and give notice of, and use its reasonable best efforts to convene and hold a meeting of holders of capital stock of Parent to consider and vote upon the issuance of Series C Common Stock in connection with the Merger (the “Parent Stockholders Meeting”) as promptly as practicable. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.3, the Parent board of directors shall include the Parent Recommendation in the Joint Proxy Statement/ Prospectus and recommend at the Parent Stockholders Meeting that the holders of capital stock of Parent approve the issuance of the Series C Common Stock in connection with the Merger and shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain and solicit such approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on a date preceding the date on which or the date on which the Parent Stockholders Meeting is scheduled, Parent reasonably believes that (i) it will not receive proxies representing the Parent Requisite Vote, whether or not a quorum is present, or (ii) it will not have enough shares of Parent Common Stock and Parent Preferred Stock represented to constitute a quorum necessary to conduct the business of the Parent Stockholders Meeting, Parent may postpone or adjourn, or make one or more successive postponements or adjournments of, the Parent Stockholders Meeting as long as the date of the Parent Stockholders Meeting is not postponed or adjourned more than an aggregate of fifteen (15) calendar days in connection with any postponements or adjournments in reliance on the preceding sentence. In addition, notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 6.5(c), Parent may postpone or adjourn the Parent Stockholders Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Parent has determined, after consultation with outside legal counsel, is reasonably likely to be required under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by stockholders of Parent prior to the Parent Stockholders Meeting.

Company Stockholders Meeting (a) The Company shall call and hold the Company Stockholders’ Meeting as promptly as practicable after the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective (but in any event no later than 45 days after the date on which the Proxy Statement is mailed to stockholders of the Company) for the purpose of voting solely upon the Company Stockholder Approval Matters; provided that the Company may postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholders’ Meeting on one or more occasions upon the good faith determination by the Company Board that such postponement or adjournment is necessary to solicit additional proxies to obtain approval of the Company Stockholder Approval Matters. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Company Stockholder Approval Matters at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting, including by soliciting from its stockholders proxies as promptly as possible in favor of the Company Stockholder Approval Matters. The Company Board shall recommend to its stockholders that they approve the Company Stockholder Approval Matters (the “Company Board Recommendation”) and shall include such recommendation in the Proxy Statement.

Dissenting Stockholders Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock that are issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and which are held by a Stockholder who did not vote in favor of the Merger (or consent thereto in writing) and who is entitled to demand and properly demands appraisal of such shares (the “Dissenting Shares”) pursuant to, and who complies in all respects with, the provisions of Section 262 of the DGCL (the “Dissenting Stockholders”) shall not be converted into or be exchangeable for the right to receive the Per Share Merger Consideration, but instead such holder shall be entitled to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to Section 262 of the DGCL, unless and until such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost its right to appraisal under the DGCL. If any Dissenting Stockholder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost such right, such holder’s shares of Common Stock shall thereupon be treated as if they had been converted into and become exchangeable for the right to receive, as of the Effective Time, the Per Share Merger Consideration for each such share, in accordance with Section 3.1, without interest. The Company shall give Parent prompt notice and a copy of any written demands for appraisal, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to applicable Law that are received by the Company relating to Stockholders’ rights of appraisal, and, at Parent’s expense, Parent shall have the opportunity and right to direct all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for appraisal by Stockholders under the DGCL, so long as Parent does not create any pre-Closing obligations of the Company. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of Parent, make any payment with respect to any demands for appraisal, offer to settle or settle any such demands or approve any withdrawal of any such demands.

At the Effective Time, all Southwest Dissenting Shares shall no longer be outstanding, shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Holder of Southwest Dissenting Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the fair value of such Southwest Dissenting Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1091. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such Holder shall fail to perfect or otherwise shall waive, withdraw or lose the right to appraisal under Section 1091, or a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that such Holder is not entitled to the relief provided by Section 1091, then the right of such Holder to be paid the fair value of such Holder’s Southwest Dissenting Shares under Section 1091 shall cease and such Southwest Dissenting Shares shall be deemed to have been converted at the Effective Time into, and shall have become, the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 2.1(c) of this Agreement, any cash in lieu of fractional shares (if any) pursuant to Section 2.6 and any dividends or distributions (if any) pursuant to Section 3.1(d).
