WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company propose to enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (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 Stock (the “Offer”) and for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as a condition to their willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent and Merger Sub have required that Stockholder, and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, Stockholder (in Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of the Subject Shares) has agreed to, enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
AGREEMENT TO TENDER
1.1. Agreement to Tender. Unless this Agreement shall have terminated pursuant to Section 5.2, Stockholder shall validly tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer all of the Subject Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer as promptly as practicable after receipt by Stockholder of all documents or instruments required to be delivered pursuant to the terms of the Offer (but in any event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the commencement (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) of the Offer). Stockholder agrees that, once the Subject Shares are tendered, Stockholder will not withdraw any of the Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until (A) the Offer shall have been withdrawn or terminated by Merger Sub in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement
or (B) this Agreement shall have terminated pursuant to Section 5.2, and in either case Parent and Merger Sub shall cause any depositary acting on their behalf to promptly return all tendered Subject Shares.
1.2. Non-Solicitation. Unless this Agreement shall have terminated pursuant to Section 5.2, Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take any action (or refrain from taking any action) that would be inconsistent with Section 6.02 of the Merger Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Article I shall restrict Stockholder or any of its Affiliates from engaging, in coordination with the Board of Directors of the Company, in discussions or negotiations regarding an Acquisition Proposal with any Person, solely to the extent to which the Company is permitted to engage (and is engaging) in such discussions or negotiations with such Person pursuant to Section 6.02 of the Merger Agreement.
ARTICLE II
VOTING AGREEMENT
2.1. Voting of Subject Shares. Unless this Agreement shall have terminated pursuant to Section 5.2, at every meeting of the holders of Company Stock (the “Company Stockholders”), however called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to, be present (in person or by proxy) and to vote Stockholder’s Subject Shares (to the extent not purchased in the Offer) (a) in favor of (i) adoption of the Merger Agreement, (ii) approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later date, if there are not sufficient votes for the adoption of the Merger Agreement on the date on which such meeting is held or (iii) any other matter considered at any such meeting of the Company Stockholders which the Company Board has (A) determined is necessary for the consummation of the Merger, (B) disclosed such determination in the Schedule 14D-9 or other written materials distributed to all stockholders of the Company and (C) recommended that the stockholders of the Company adopt; and (b) against (i) any amendment to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or any other proposal which would in any material respect impede, interfere with or prevent the consummation of the Offer or the Merger, (ii) any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Stockholder under this Agreement.
2.2. No Inconsistent Arrangements. Except as provided hereunder or under the Merger Agreement, unless this Agreement shall have terminated pursuant to Section 5.2, Stockholder shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) create or permit to exist any Lien on any Subject Shares, other than restrictions imposed by applicable Law or pursuant to this Agreement or any risk of forfeiture with respect to any shares of Company Stock granted to Stockholder under an employee benefit plan of the Company, (b) transfer, sell, assign, gift, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose of (collectively, “Transfer”), or enter into any contract with respect to any Transfer of the Subject Shares or any interest therein, (c) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization in or with respect to the Subject Shares, (d) deposit or permit the deposit of the Subject Shares into a voting trust or enter into a tender, support, voting or similar agreement or arrangement with respect to the Subject Shares, (e) tender the Subject Shares to any
2
tender offer other than the Offer or (f) otherwise take any action with respect to any of the Subject Shares that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of any of Stockholder’s obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder may make Transfers of Subject Shares (i) by will, (ii) by operation of Law, (iii) for estate planning purposes, (iv) for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations or (v) to any of its Affiliates, in which case the Subject Shares shall continue to be bound by this Agreement and provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if Stockholder is not an individual, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict any direct or indirect Transfers of any equity interests in Stockholder.
2.3. No Exercise of Appraisal Rights. Stockholder hereby agrees not to exercise any appraisal rights in respect of Stockholder’s Subject Shares that may arise with respect to the Merger (under Section 262 of the DGCL or otherwise).
2.4. Documentation and Information. Until the Agreement shall have terminated in accordance with Section 5.2, Stockholder shall permit and hereby authorizes Parent to publish and disclose in all documents and schedules filed with the SEC, and any press release or other disclosure document in connection with the Offer or the Merger and any transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, a copy of this Agreement, Stockholder’s identity and ownership of the Subject Shares and the nature of Stockholder’s commitments and obligations under this Agreement.
2.5. Stop Transfer Order; Legends. Stockholder hereby agrees that it will not request that the Company register the Transfer of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Subject Shares, unless such Transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement. In furtherance of this Agreement, concurrently herewith, Stockholder shall, and hereby does, authorize the Company or its counsel to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all of the Subject Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of such shares). The parties hereto agree that such stop transfer order shall be removed and shall be of no further force and effect upon the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.2.
2.6. Intervening Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if prior to the Acceptance Time, (a) the Company Board effects a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in the case of an Intervening Event and (b) the Merger Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with its terms, then as long as the Company Adverse Recommendation Change continues, only 50% of the Subject Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole Subject Share) then held by Stockholder shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement and Stockholder may take (or refrain from taking) action consistent with the terms of this Agreement with respect to the remaining 50% of the Subject Shares then held by Stockholder at Stockholder’s option; provided, however, if the Company Board withdraws the Company Adverse Recommendation Change, Stockholder shall comply with the terms of this Agreement with respect to all of the Subject Shares then held.
2.7. Lock-Up. Stockholder hereby agrees that from the Effective Time until the end of the period ending six (6) months after the Effective Time, Stockholder shall not without the prior written consent of Parent (which consent may be withheld at Parent’s sole discretion):
3
(a) Transfer any of the Parent Common Shares that Stockholder receives as consideration in connection with the Offer or Merger (the “Consideration Shares”), (b) enter into any contract with respect to any Transfer of the Consideration Shares or any interest therein (including any short sale), or grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or enter into any Hedging Transaction (as defined below) relating to the Consideration Shares, (c) grant or permit the grant of any proxy, power of attorney or other authorization in or with respect to the Consideration Shares except to the extent consistent with this Agreement or (d) deposit or permit the deposit of the Consideration Shares into a voting trust or enter into a tender, support, voting or similar agreement or arrangement with respect to the Consideration Shares. The foregoing restrictions are expressly intended to preclude Stockholder from engaging in any Hedging Transaction or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably expected to lead to or result in a Transfer of any Consideration Shares, even if the Consideration Shares would be Transferred by someone other than Stockholder. For purposes of this Agreement, “Hedging Transaction” means any short sale (whether or not against the box) or any purchase, sale or grant of any right (including any put or call option) with respect to any security (other than a broad-based market basket or index) that includes, relates to or derives any significant part of its value from the Consideration Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder may Transfer (i) up to one-third of the Consideration Shares (rounded up to the nearest whole Consideration Share); (ii) Consideration Shares (A) with the written consent of Parent, (B) by will, (C) by operation of Law, (D) for estate planning purposes, (E) for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations or (F) to any of its Affiliates or by distributions of Consideration Shares to any of its limited partners, members, stockholders or Affiliates, in which case the Consideration Shares shall continue to be bound by this Section 2.7 and provided that each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Section 2.7; and (iii) Consideration Shares pursuant to a bona fide third party tender offer, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction made to all holders of the Parent Common Shares involving a change of control of Parent or other similar transaction.
