EXHIBIT 2.9
SYNAGRO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT
THIS STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made as of
August 14, 2000 by and among (i) Synagro Technologies, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (together with its successors and permitted assigns, the "Company")
and (ii) the investors set forth on the attached "Schedule of Investors" and any
other holder of securities of the Company who, at any time, is added as a party
to this Agreement in accordance with Section 10 hereof as an Investor hereunder
(each, an "Investor" and collectively, the "Investors"). The Investors are
sometimes referred to herein as the "Stockholders" and individually as a
"Stockholder." Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein are
defined in Section 8 hereof.
The execution and delivery of this Agreement is a condition to
the obligations of the Investors under the Purchase Agreement and the Senior
Subordinated Loan Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement
hereby agree as follows:
1. Participation Rights.
(a) At least 30 days before any Transfer of Stockholder Shares
of any class by any Investor (the "Selling Investor"), the Selling Investor
shall deliver a written notice (the "Sale Notice") to the Company and to the
other Stockholders (the "Participation Right Stockholders") holding Stockholder
Shares of such class specifying in reasonable detail the identity of the
prospective transferee(s) and the terms and conditions of the Transfer. The
Participation Right Stockholders holding Stockholder Shares of such class may
elect to participate in the contemplated Transfer by delivering written notice
to the Selling Investor within 30 days after delivery of the Sale Notice. If any
Participation Right Stockholders have elected to participate in such Transfer,
then the Selling Investor and such Participation Right Stockholders will be
entitled to sell in the contemplated Transfer, at the same price and on the same
terms, a number of Stockholder Shares of such class equal to the product of (A)
the quotient determined by dividing the number of Stockholder Shares of such
class owned by such person by the aggregate number of outstanding Stockholder
Shares of such class owned by the Selling Investor and the Participation Right
Stockholders participating in such sale and (B) the number of Stockholder Shares
of such class to be sold in the contemplated Transfer.
(b) The Selling Investor will use reasonable best efforts to
obtain the agreement of the prospective transferee(s) to the participation of
the Participation Right Stockholders in any contemplated Transfer, and the
Selling Investor will not transfer any of its Stockholder Shares of such class
to the prospective transferee(s) unless (A) the prospective transferee(s) agrees
to allow the participation of the Participation Right Stockholders holding
Stockholder Shares of such class
2
or (B) the Selling Investor agrees to purchase the number of such class of
Stockholder Shares from the Participation Right Stockholders which the
Participation Right Stockholders would have been entitled to sell pursuant to
this Section 1(b) for the consideration per share to be paid to the Selling
Investor by the prospective transferee(s).
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any other
provision of this Agreement, the restrictions set forth in this Section 1 shall
not apply to (i) any Transfer of Common Stock or Preferred Stock by any Investor
to another Investor or among their respective Affiliates (other than in
connection with a Sale of the Company), (ii) a Public Sale or (iii) any pledge
of Stockholder Shares by a TCW/Crescent Lender to a trustee for the benefit of
secured noteholders pursuant to documents relating to the financing of such
TCW/Crescent Lender; provided that the restrictions contained in this Agreement
will continue to be applicable to such shares after any Transfer pursuant to
clause (i) and the transferee of such shares shall agree in writing to be bound
by the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the Transfer of shares pursuant to
clause (i) of the previous sentence, the transferees will deliver a written
notice to the Company, which notice will disclose in reasonable detail the
identity of such transferee. Each Stockholder transferring Stockholder Shares
pursuant to Section 1 shall pay his or its pro rata share (based on the number
of Stockholder Shares to be sold) of the expenses incurred by the Stockholders
in connection with such transfer and shall be obligated to join on a pro rata
basis (based on the number of Stockholder Shares to be sold) in any
indemnification or other obligations that the Selling Stockholder agrees to
provide in connection with such transfer (other than any such obligations that
related specifically to a particular Stockholder, such as indemnification with
respect to representations and warranties given by a Stockholder regarding such
Stockholder's title to, ownership of Stockholder Shares and, for such
Stockholders that are not individuals, authority to enter into such agreement);
provided, however, that no Investor shall be required to make a representation
or warranty that any other Investor is not required to make.
(d) The provisions of this Section 1 will terminate upon the
consummation of a Sale of the Company.
2. Preemptive Rights.
(a) If the Company (or any successor entity thereto)
authorizes the issuance or sale to the GTCR Investors or an Affiliate of the
GTCR Investors of any equity securities (other than pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement or the Senior Subordinated Loan Agreement), or any debt securities
containing options or rights to acquire any equity securities (other than as a
distribution on outstanding equity securities or pursuant to the Senior
Subordinated Loan Agreement), or any securities exchangeable or exercisable for
or convertible into any equity securities, the Company shall first offer to sell
to each holder of Stockholder Shares (other than the GTCR Investors) a portion
of such securities equal to the quotient determined by dividing (1) the number
of shares of Common Stock held by such holder on an as-converted basis
(regardless of whether such conversion has occurred) by (2) the total number of
shares of Common Stock held by all holders of Stockholder Shares on an
as-converted basis (regardless of whether such conversion has occurred). Each
holder
-2-
3
of Stockholder Shares shall be entitled to purchase such securities at the most
favorable price and on the most favorable terms as such securities are to be
offered or sold to any other Persons; provided that if such holder elects to
purchase any securities being offered for sale by the Company, such holder shall
also be required to purchase a pro rata portion of each other class or series of
securities (including any debt securities) being offered for sale by the Company
contemporaneously therewith.
(b) In order to exercise its purchase rights hereunder, a
holder of Stockholder Shares must within 20 days after receipt of written notice
from the Company describing in reasonable detail the securities being offered,
the purchase price thereof, the payment terms and such holder's percentage
allotment deliver a written notice to the Company describing its election
hereunder. If all of the securities offered to the holders of Stockholder Shares
is not fully subscribed by such holders, the remaining securities shall be
reoffered by the Company to the holders purchasing their full allotment upon the
terms set forth in this Section 2(b), except that such reoffer shall not extend
the 20-day offer period referred to in this Section 2(b). Any holder of
Stockholder Shares may assign its purchase rights hereunder to any of its
Affiliates, but not to any other Person.
(c) Upon the expiration of the offering periods described
above, the Company shall be entitled to sell such securities which the holders
of Stockholder Shares have not elected to purchase during the 90-day period
following such expiration on terms and conditions no more favorable to the
purchasers thereof than those offered to such holders. Any securities offered or
sold by the Company after such 90-day period must be reoffered to the holders of
Stockholder Shares pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.
(d) The provisions of this Section 2 shall continue with
respect to each Stockholder Share until the earliest to occur of (i) the date of
which such Stockholder Share has been transferred in a Public Sale, (ii) the
consummation of a Public Offering after the date hereof having an aggregate
offering value of at least $25 million and (iii) the consummation of a Sale of
the Company.
3. Sale of the Company.
(a) If the Majority Investors approve a Sale of the Company
(an "Approved Sale"), then each holder of Stockholder Shares shall vote for,
consent to, and raise no objections against such Approved Sale. If the Approved
Sale is structured as a (i) merger or consolidation, then each holder of
Stockholder Shares shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, waive any
dissenters' rights, appraisal rights, or similar rights in connection with such
merger or consolidation or (ii) sale of stock, then each holder of Stockholder
Shares shall agree to sell all of his Stockholder Shares and rights to acquire
Stockholder Shares on the terms and conditions approved by the Company's board
of directors (the "Board") and the holders of a majority of the Stockholder
Shares (voting as a single class) then outstanding. Each holder of Stockholder
Shares shall take all necessary or desirable actions in connection with the
consummation of the Approved Sale as requested by the Company; provided that,
each holder of Stockholder Shares shall only be obligated
-3-
4
to join on a pro rata basis in any indemnification or other obligations provided
in connection with the Approved Sale (other than any such obligations that
related specifically to a particular Stockholder, such as indemnification with
respect to representations and warranties given by a Stockholder regarding such
Stockholder's title to, ownership of Stockholder Shares and, for such
Stockholders that are not individuals, authority to enter into such agreement);
provided, however, that no Investor shall be required to make a representation
or warranty that any other Investor is not required to make.
(b) The obligations of the holders of Stockholder Shares with
respect to the Approved Sale of the Company are subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions: (i) upon the consummation of the Approved Sale, each
holder of a class of Stockholder Shares shall receive the same form of
consideration and the same amount of consideration per share; (ii) if any
holders of a class of Stockholder Shares are given an option as to the form and
amount of consideration to be received, then each holder of such class of
Stockholder Shares shall be given the same option; and (iii) each holder of then
currently exercisable rights to acquire shares of a class of Stockholder Shares
shall be given an opportunity to either (A) exercise such rights prior to the
consummation of the Approved Sale and participate in such sale as holders of
such class of Stockholder Shares or (B) upon the consummation of the Approved
Sale, receive in exchange for such rights consideration equal to the amount
determined by multiplying (1) the same amount of consideration per share of a
class of Stockholder Shares received by holders of such class of Stockholder
Shares in connection with the Approved Sale less the exercise price per share of
such class of Stockholder Shares of such rights to acquire such class of
Stockholder Shares by (2) the number of shares of such class of Stockholder
Shares represented by such rights.
(c) Holders of Stockholder Shares will bear their pro rata
share (based upon the number of shares sold) of the costs of any sale of such
Stockholder Shares pursuant to an Approved Sale to the extent such costs are
incurred for the benefit of all holders of Stockholder Shares and are not
otherwise paid by the Company or the acquiring party. For purposes of this
Section 3(c), costs incurred in exercising reasonable efforts to take all
actions in connection with the consummation of an Approved Sale in accordance
with Section 3(a) shall be deemed to be for the benefit of all holders of the
Stockholder Shares. Costs incurred by holders of Stockholder Shares on their own
behalf will not be considered costs of the transaction hereunder.
4. Public Offering. In the event that the Board and the
Majority Investors approve a Public Offering, the holders of Stockholder Shares
shall take all necessary or desirable actions requested by the Board and the
Majority Investors in connection with the consummation of such Public Offering,
including without limitation compliance with the requirements of all laws and
regulatory bodies which are applicable or which have jurisdiction over such
Public Offering. In the event that such Public Offering is an underwritten
offering and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in
their opinion the Company's capital structure would adversely affect the
marketability of the offering, each holder of Stockholder Shares shall convert
the Preferred Stock held by such holder into Common Stock in accordance with the
terms of the Preferred Stock.
-4-

5. Holdback Agreement. To the extent not inconsistent with
applicable law, each Stockholder shall not effect any public sale or
distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144) of equity securities of the
Company, or any securities, options, or rights convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for such securities, during the seven days prior to and the
180-day period beginning on the effective date of any Demand Registration (as
defined in the Registration Agreement) or Piggyback Registration (as defined in
the Registration Agreement) pursuant to the Registration Agreement (except as
part of such underwritten registration or pursuant to registrations on Form S-4
or Form S-8 or any successor form), unless the underwriters managing the
registered public offering otherwise agree.
6. Legend. Each certificate evidencing Stockholder Shares and
each certificate issued in exchange for or upon the transfer of any Stockholder
Shares (if such shares remain Stock holder Shares as defined herein after such
transfer) shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend in substantially
the following form:
"The securities represented by this certificate are subject to
a Stockholders Agreement dated as of August 14, 2000 among the
issuer of such securities (the "Company") and certain of the
Company's stockholders. A copy of such Stockholders Agreement

hereof upon written request."

Shares outstanding prior to the date hereof. The legend set forth above shall be
removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be
Stockholder Shares.

and warrants that (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed, and
delivered by such Stockholder and constitutes the valid and binding obligation
of such Stockholder, enforceable in accordance with its terms and (ii) such
