WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company have entered into the Merger Agreement, which provides, among other things, for Merger Sub to commence a tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Offer”) and, following the completion of the Offer, the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company surviving (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS, Stockholder is, as of the date hereof, the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the number of shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite the name of Stockholder on Schedule 1 attached hereto (together with any New Shares (defined in Section 3 below), the “Shares”);
WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to the willingness of Parent and Merger Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement, and in consideration of the substantial expenses incurred and to be incurred by them in connection therewith, the Stockholder has agreed to enter into and perform this Agreement; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of, and as a condition to, Parent entering into the Merger Agreement and proceeding with the transactions contemplated thereby, and in consideration of the expenses incurred and to be incurred by Parent in connection therewith, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Tender Shares.
(a) Stockholder hereby agrees that it shall irrevocably tender its Shares, or cause its Shares to be validly and irrevocably tendered, into the Offer pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than the tenth (10th) business day after, the commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 2.1 of the Merger Agreement, Stockholder shall deliver pursuant to the terms of the Offer all of the Shares owned by Stockholder as of the date of such tender (the “Tender Date”) and all other documents or instruments that Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably require in order to effect the valid tender of Stockholder’s Shares. If Stockholder acquires any Shares after the Tender Date, Stockholder shall tender into the Offer such Shares prior to the earlier of (x) the fifth (5th) business day following the date that Stockholder shall acquire such Shares and (y) the Expiration Date. Stockholder agrees that, once its Shares are tendered, Stockholder shall not withdraw any of such Shares from the Offer, unless and until (i) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 2 hereof or (ii) the Offer shall have been terminated in accordance with the Merger Agreement. Upon the occurrence of (i) or (ii) in the preceding sentence, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository or paying agent, including the Payment Agent, acting on behalf of Parent and Merger Sub, to return all tendered Shares to Stockholder.
(b) Upon receipt of payment in full for all of its Shares pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Stockholder agrees that any and all rights incident to its ownership of Shares (including any rights to recover amounts, if any, that may be determined to be due to any stockholder or former stockholder of the Company), including but not limited to rights arising out of Stockholder’s ownership of Shares prior to the transfer of such Shares to Merger Sub or Parent pursuant to the Offer or pursuant to the Merger Agreement, shall be transferred to Merger Sub and Parent upon the transfer to Merger Sub or Parent of Stockholder’s Shares.
2. Expiration Date. As used in this Agreement, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a) the Effective Time, (b) such date and time as the Merger Agreement shall be validly terminated pursuant to Article VIII thereof, (c) a Company Board Recommendation Change due to the Company’s receipt of a Superior Proposal, to the extent such Company Board Recommendation Change is permitted by, and subject to the applicable terms and conditions of Section 5.3(f) of the Merger Agreement, (d) an amendment of the Merger Agreement, without the prior written consent of Stockholder, that affects the economics or material terms of the Merger Agreement in a manner that is adverse to the Company or its stockholders (including with respect to the reduction of or the imposition of any restriction on Stockholder’s right to receive the Merger Consideration, or any reduction in the amount or change in the form of the Merger Consideration) and (e) upon mutual written agreement of the parties to terminate this Agreement. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, no party shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement; provided, however, such termination or expiration shall not relieve any party from liability for any common law fraud or willful, knowing and material breach of this Agreement prior to termination hereof.
3. Additional Purchases. The Stockholder agrees that any shares of capital stock of the Company that the Stockholder purchases or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, including, without limitation, by the exercise of a Company Option or the vesting or settlement of a Company RSU or Company Restricted Stock (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof and the representation and warranties in Section 5 below shall be true and correct as of the date that beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of such New Shares is acquired.
