Re: Waiver and Termination of Registration Rights Agreement
Dear Xxxxx and Xxxxxx:
Reference is hereby made to that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated May 10, 1988,
between Xxxx & Xxxxxx Group, Inc. (now Voyager Learning Company) (the “Company”) and the named
Purchasers therein (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). Keystone Group, L.P. (“Keystone”) and
the Xxxx X. and Xxxxxx X. Xxxx Foundation (the “Foundation”, and together with Keystone, the
“Holders”) hold certain common shares in the Company subject to the Registration Rights Agreement
and the Company has determined that such shares represent a majority of the common shares of the
Company that remain subject to the Registration Rights Agreement.
The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Mergers, by and among Cambium Holdings, Inc.,
the Company, Vowel Acquisition Corp., VSS-Cambium Holdings II Corp., Consonant Acquisition Corp.,
and the Vowel Representative, LLC (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to a letter entered into in
connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company has agreed to seek the termination of the
Registration Rights Agreement. In consideration for the benefits to the Holders from the
completion of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, effective as of the Effective
Date (as defined in the Merger Agreement), each Holder hereby (i) terminates the Registration
Rights Agreement pursuant to Section 8(c) of the Registration Rights Agreement, and (ii) waives any
and all rights it may have under the Registration Rights Agreement following such date.
Very truly yours, | ||||||
