------------------------
The parties to this agreement are Schein Holdings, Inc., a New York
corporation (the "Company"), Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, the trust established by Xxxxxx
X. Xxxxxx under trust agreement dated December 31, 1993 ("Marvin's 1993 Trust"),
the trust established by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx under trust agreement dated September

Trustees under Article Fourth of the Will of Xxxxx X. Xxxxxx for the benefit of
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and her issue under trust agreement dated September 29, 1994 ("Xxx
Xxxxxx'x Issue's Trust"), Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, and the trust established by Xxxxxx
Xxxxxx under trust agreement dated September 28, 1994 ("Xxx Xxxxxx'x Issue's
Trust") (collectively, the "Shareholders"), and Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, as voting
trustee (in such capacity and together with his successors designated in
accordance with section 5, the "Trustee").
The Shareholders own an aggregate of 184,590 shares of the Company's
common stock (the "Shares") and are parties to a general shareholders agreement
and a continuing shareholders agreement (the "Continuing Shareholders
Agreement"), each dated this date (collectively, the "Shareholders Agreements").
The parties agree as follows:
1. Shares Held in Trust.
--------------------
1.1 Transfer of Shares to Voting Trustee. Simultaneously with the
------------------------------------
execution of this agreement, (a) the Shareholders are delivering to the
secretary of the Company, for cancellation, stock certificates (together with
stock powers executed in blank) for the Shares, free and clear of any claim,
lien, security interest or other encumbrance (a "Lien"), other than Liens
imposed upon such Shares by the Shareholders Agreements and this agreement, and
(b) the Company is issuing and delivering to the Trustee a stock certificate for
184,590 shares of common stock of the Company, registered in the name of the
Trustee, in his capacity as such, and legended to indicate that such shares are
subject to this agreement (which fact also shall be stated in the stock ledger
of the Company). (The shares so issued to the Trustee, together with
any additional securities referred to in section 3, are referred to collectively
as the "Trust Shares.")
1.2 Voting Trust Certificates. Simultaneously with the execution of
-------------------------
this agreement, the Trustee is issuing and delivering to each Shareholder a
trust certificate (a "Trust Certificate") for the number of shares delivered by
that Shareholder under section 1.1(a). The Trustee shall cause accurate records
to be kept setting forth the name and address of each holder of trust
certificates, the number of Trust Shares represented by each trust certificate,
any dividends or other payments or distributions made in respect of the Trust
Shares and
2
transfers of Trust Shares permitted by this agreement. Such list and record
shall be open at all reasonable times to the inspection of the Company's
shareholders and the holder(s) of trust certificates. The trust certificates
shall be in the form of exhibit A.
1.3 Trustee to Hold Subject to Agreement. The Trustee shall hold
------------------------------------
and vote (including, for all purposes of this agreement, the giving of consent)
the Trust Shares in accordance with this agreement.
2. Authority of Trustee to Vote the Shares.
---------------------------------------
2.1 Authority. The Trustee shall have full and exclusive power and
---------
authority to vote the Trust Shares in person or by proxy as set forth in section
2.2 (or to refrain from voting) at all meetings of the shareholders of the
Company or by written consent in lieu of such meetings, including, without
limitation, (a) for the election of directors, (b) with respect to matters as to
which the Trustee may have a conflict of interest (provided the Trustee
discloses to the board of directors of the Company and the Shareholders before
any such vote any direct or indirect material financial interest or other
material interest of the Trustee (other than solely by reason of his status as
an officer, director or shareholder of the Company or solely by reason of his
status as Trustee under this agreement) in any matter to be voted on (a
"Conflict Transaction")) and (c) with respect to all other matters for which
shares of the Company's common stock are
3
entitled to vote. The Trustee shall use his best efforts to give the
Shareholders not fewer than 48 hours' prior written notice of any such meeting
or execution of any such written consent, the subject matter of the meeting or
consent, how he intends to vote (or abstain from voting) with respect to the
subject matter of the meeting or consent and, if applicable, a description in
reasonable detail of the nature of any Conflict Transaction that is the subject
matter of the meeting or consent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this section 2.1, (i) the Trustee may not, without the prior written consent of
holders of trust certificates or stock certificates representing a majority of
the sum of (A) the Trust Shares plus (B) shares of the Company's common stock
----
held by the Trustee or the Trustee's Permitted Transferees (as defined in the
Continuing Shareholders Agreement), vote in favor of (y) a merger or
consolidation of the Company with or into another entity (except for a merger of
the Company into a wholly-owned subsidiary solely for the purpose of effecting a
reincorporation of the Company as a Delaware corporation) or (z) a liquidation
or dissolution of the Company, or a sale, lease or other transfer, in one
transaction or a series of transactions, of all or substantially all the assets
of the Company (whether directly, or indirectly through the transfer of assets
of its subsidiaries) or of a Significant Business Unit (as defined below); and
(ii) (x) with respect to Conflict Transactions, the Trustee shall vote
consistently with the vote of the disinterested directors of the Company, (y) in
voting (or abstaining from voting) the Trust Shares, the Trustee shall be
4
charged with the same duties of care and loyalty to the Company, as if the
Trustee were a director of a corporation considering a matter to be voted on by
the board of directors of that corporation, and (z) the Trustee shall not vote
the Trust Shares (1) in favor of the Company taking any action that would
violate the Shareholders Agreements or (2) with a view to affecting materially
and adversely any Shareholder's rights under this agreement or the Shareholders
Agreements (it being understood that nothing in this section shall in any manner
adversely affect the right of any Shareholder to assert against the Company a
claim that the Shareholder is entitled to damages resulting from any action
taken by the Company or the Trustee pursuant to any shareholder vote). For
purposes of this agreement, "Significant Business Unit" means a Significant
Subsidiary (as defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) of the Company in respect
of which the condition specified in paragraph (c) of the definition of
significant subsidiary in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X exceeds 30%.
2.2 Other Matters. Subject to section 6.2, the Trustee's power to
-------------
vote (or refrain from voting) the Trust Shares pursuant to this agreement shall
be irrevocable until the termination of this agreement in accordance with
section 6.1. The Trustee shall have the right to waive notice of any meeting of
shareholders of the Company, provided the Trustee gives each of the Shareholders
at least 10 days prior written notice (except in the case of extenuating
circumstances, in which case notice
5
shall be given at the earliest practicable date) that the notice of meeting is
being or has been waived. The Trustee may exercise any power or perform any act
under this agreement by proxy or through an agent or attorney (it being
understood, however, that the Trustee may not confer discretionary authority on
any such proxy, agent or attorney).
2.3 No Disqualification. Nothing in this agreement shall be deemed
-------------------
to prevent the Trustee from serving the Company or any of its subsidiaries as an
officer, director, employee or in any other capacity and receiving compensation
for that service or from engaging in any transaction (subject, if appropriate,
to the requirements of section 2.1) or providing any service not otherwise in
contravention of this agreement.
2.4 No Authority to Transfer Shares. The Trustee shall have no power
-------------------------------
or authority to transfer the Trust Shares, except in accordance with section 7,
and any other transfer or attempted transfer shall be void and of no effect.
3. Additional Securities. Any stock certificates for any voting
---------------------
securities of the Company (or any successor (by merger or otherwise, other than
a successor resulting from a Terminating Merger (as defined in section 6.1)) to
all or substantially all of the business of the Company) issued by way of
dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reorganization, merger (other than a
Terminating Merger (as defined in section 6.1)), consolidation, conversion or
any other change or adjustment in respect of the
6
Trust Shares shall be delivered by the Company to the Trustee, who shall hold
such securities in accordance with this agreement, and the Trustee shall,
immediately following receipt, issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and
delivered, trust certificates for such changed or additional securities to the
appropriate holder(s) of the trust certificates.
4. Dividends. Except as otherwise provided in section 3 with
---------
respect to voting securities, if the Company shall pay dividends on, or
distribute other securities or property in respect of, the Trust Shares, the
Company shall pay or distribute the same to the Trustee, who shall collect and
receive such dividends, other securities or property, and shall promptly, and in
no event later than five days after receipt, deliver such dividends, other
securities or property, without offset or deduction of any kind, to the
holder(s) of the then outstanding trust certificates in proportion to their
interests in the Trust Shares as shown on the books of the Trustee so that such
distribution is identical to the distribution each holder of a trust certificate
would have received had such person been the holder of record of the securities
represented by such trust certificate.
5. Appointment by Trustee of Successors.
------------------------------------
5.1 Voluntary Appointment. The Trustee may at any time resign as
---------------------
voting trustee and appoint a successor voting trustee meeting the qualifications
of section 5.3. The Trustee
7
shall give prompt notice to each Shareholder of the identity of the successor
voting trustee.
5.2 Appointment Upon Death or Termination for Incapacity or Cause.
-------------------------------------------------------------
In the event of the death or termination of employment with the Company for
mental or physical incapacity or cause (if the Trustee is party to an employment
agreement with the Company that defines those terms, as those terms are defined
in such employment agreement), or during the continuance of the inability to act
by reason of any such incapacity, of the Trustee, and, subject to sections 5.3
and 5.4, a successor to the voting trustee as designated in writing from time to
time by the Trustee shall automatically fill such vacancy as of such death,
termination or incapacity. Subject to section 5.1, the Trustee shall continue
to serve as such, if his employment with the Company is terminated for any
reason other than as specified in the preceding sentence.
5.3 Qualification of Successor. Any person appointed to serve as a
--------------------------
successor voting trustee under this section 5 must have been prior to such
appointment a senior executive officer of the Company who shall have been
devoting substantially all his business time and effort to the Company, or must
have been a senior executive officer in the pharmaceutical or health-care
industry, in each such case for at least the immediately preceding six months,
provided that no such person shall have been an employee or director of Xxxxx XX
or any of its majority-owned subsidiaries (including Miles Inc. ("Miles") or any
of its
8
direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiaries) (all such subsidiaries of Xxxxx
XX being collectively called "Bayer Controlled Subsidiaries") (other than the
Company or any of its subsidiaries) at any time within six months prior to such
appointment or shall have been a party to a voting agreement with Xxxxx XX or
any Bayer Controlled Subsidiary, or otherwise a holder of, or an officer,
director or affiliate of a corporation (other than the Company or any of its
subsidiaries) that holds, more than 10% of the Company's outstanding common
stock.
5.4 Authority of Successor. Any person appointed to serve as a
----------------------
successor voting trustee under this section 5 shall be vested with all the
duties, obligations, powers and authority as if originally named voting trustee
and shall serve until the termination of this agreement in accordance with
section 6.1. Any person so appointed shall from and after the date of such
appointment be deemed the voting trustee for all purposes of this agreement.
5.5 Execution of Agreement. Any person appointed to serve as a
----------------------
successor voting trustee under this section 5 shall, prior to serving as such,
execute a copy of this agreement, the signature page of which shall specify that
such person is to be bound by all the terms of this agreement applicable to the
voting trustee.
9
6. Termination of Agreement.
------------------------
6.1 Termination Date. This agreement shall terminate (the
----------------
"Termination Date") on the earliest of (i) the fifth anniversary of the
Qualified Public Offering Date (as defined in the Continuing Shareholders
Agreement), (ii) March 1, 2000 and (iii) the effective date of a Terminating
Merger, and, subject to section 6.2, no sooner. For purposes of this agreement,
the term "Terminating Merger" means a merger, consolidation or combination of
the Company with another business, if, as a result of that transaction, the
Trustee neither (I) holds the position of chairman of the board, president,
chief executive officer or chief operating officer (or any office performing
analogous functions) of the merged, consolidated or combined entity (the
"Successor") nor (II) has the right or ability to designate a majority of the
members of the board of the Successor or, if the board of the Successor is a
classified board, can reasonably be expected to have the right or ability to
designate a majority of the members of the board of the Successor after each
class then in office shall have been subject to election.
6.2 Termination Upon Transfer of Shares. Notwithstanding anything in
-----------------------------------
this agreement to the contrary, this agreement shall terminate with respect to
any Trust Shares transferred in accordance with section 7 at the time of the
transfer (except that this agreement shall not terminate with respect to any
Trust Shares prior to an initial public offering of the Company's common stock
and shall not terminate before or
10
after such initial public offering with respect to any Trust Shares transferred
to a Permitted Transferee (as defined in the Continuing Shareholders Agreement),
until the Trust Shares are transferred by the Permitted Transferee in accordance
with section 7).
6.3 Transfer of Shares from Voting Trustee.
--------------------------------------
(a) Upon the termination of this agreement in accordance with
section 6.1, (i) each holder of trust certificates shall promptly deliver to the
Trustee any outstanding trust certificates held by that holder (or an affidavit
stating that such trust certificates are lost, without any requirement to post
any security therefor), (ii) promptly thereafter, and in no event later than two
business days after receipt of such trust certificates or affidavits, as
applicable, the Trustee shall deliver to the secretary of the Company or, at the
direction of the Company, to the Company's transfer agent, for cancellation,
stock certificates (together with stock powers executed in blank and any
requisite stock transfer stamps) for all the Trust Shares held by the Trustee
and (iii) the Company shall cause to be issued to each holder of trust
certificates stock certificates for a number of shares of common stock of the
Company equal to the number of Trust Shares represented by the trust
certificates surrendered (or covered by an affidavit delivered) by each such
holder under clause (i) above, free and clear of any Lien (except (1) as
otherwise required by law, (2) as required under the Continuing
Shareholders Agreement or
11
(3) as created by the holder of the trust certificates (collectively, "Permitted
Liens")) and without any legend (except any legend relating to transfer
restrictions arising under any applicable securities laws (an "Applicable
Securities Law Legend")). The Trustee and the Company shall take such actions as
reasonably may be requested by the holders of trust certificates to effect such
issuances.
(b) If the Trustee does not deliver stock certificates for the Trust
Shares to the Company or to the Company's transfer agent within the two-day
period set forth in section 6.3(a)(ii), the Company or the Company's transfer
agent, as applicable, shall, upon receipt of notice from any holder of trust
certificates stating that such Trust Shares have not been delivered within such
two-day period (a copy of which notice shall be delivered to the Trustee
simultaneously with the giving of such notice to the Company or to the Company's
transfer agent), cancel on the Company's books and records the stock
certificates for the undelivered Trust Shares, and cause to be issued to each
holder of trust certificates stock certificates for a number of shares of the
Company's common stock equal to the number of Trust Shares represented by the
trust certificates surrendered (or covered by an affidavit delivered) by each
such holder under section 6.3(a)(i), free and clear of any Lien (except
Permitted Liens) and without any legend (except any Applicable Securities Law
Legend).
12
6.4 Death or Incompetence of Trust Certificate Holder. The death,
--------------------------------------------------
disability or incompetence of a holder of a trust certificate during the term of
this agreement shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of this
agreement.
7. Transfers of Trust Shares and Trust Certificates.
------------------------------------------------
7.1 Transfer of Trust Shares. Each holder of trust certificates may,
------------------------
by written request (a "Transfer Request"), direct the Trustee to transfer any
Trust Shares represented by that holder's outstanding trust certificates;
however, each such holder may direct the Trustee to transfer Trust Shares only
in accordance with and to the extent permitted under the Shareholders
Agreements. However, no transfer of Trust Shares to a Permitted Transferee
shall be permitted (and any such transfer not permitted shall be void and of no
effect), unless, prior to such transfer, the Permitted Transferee executes and
delivers to the Trustee a copy of this agreement, the signature page of which
shall specify that such Permitted Transferee is bound by and takes such Trust
Shares subject to all the rights and obligations under this agreement that were
applicable to the transferor (it being understood that, notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this agreement, the Trustee shall retain possession of any
Trust Shares so transferred to a Permitted Transferee and shall issue to the
Permitted Transferee appropriate trust certificates in respect thereof).
13
7.2 Transfer Mechanics.
------------------
(a) In order to effect a transfer of Trust Shares at the request of a
holder of trust certificates in accordance with section 7.1, (i) such holder
shall deliver to the Trustee, along with the Transfer Request, any outstanding
trust certificates representing the Trust Shares to be transferred (or an
affidavit stating that such trust certificates are lost), (ii) the Trustee shall
promptly thereafter, and in no event later than two business days after receipt
of such trust certificates or affidavits, as applicable, deliver to the
secretary of the Company or, at the direction of the Company, to the Company's
transfer agent, for cancellation, stock certificates (together with stock powers
executed in blank and any requisite stock transfer stamps) for the number of
trust shares to be transferred, and (iii) the Company shall cause to be issued
to the transferee(s) specified in the Transfer Request stock certificates for
the number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the number of Trust
Shares represented by the trust certificates surrendered under clause (i) above,
free and clear of any Lien (except Permitted Liens) and without any legend
(except any Applicable Securities Law Legend). The Trustee and the Company shall
take such actions as reasonably may be requested by the holders of trust
certificates surrendered under clause (i) of the preceding sentence to effect
the issuance as provided for in this section 7.2(a) of shares of the Company's
14
common stock to, and in the name of, the transferee(s) specified in the Transfer
Request.
(b) If the Trustee does not deliver stock certificates for the number
of Trust Shares to be transferred to the Company or to the Company's transfer
agent within the two-day period set forth in section 7.2(a)(ii), the Company or
the Company's transfer agent, as applicable, shall, upon receipt of a written
request from the holder of trust certificates who requested the transfer
stating that such Trust Shares have not been delivered within such two-day
period (a copy of which request shall be delivered to the Trustee simultaneously
with the giving of such request to the Company or to the Company's transfer
agent), cancel on the Company's books and records the stock certificates for the
undelivered Trust Shares, and cause to be issued to such holder stock
certificates for a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the
number of Trust Shares represented by the trust certificates surrendered by such
holder under section 7.2(a)(i), free and clear of any Lien (except Permitted
Liens) and without any legend (except any Applicable Securities Law Legend).
7.3 Transfer of Trust Certificates. Each holder of trust
------------------------------
certificates agrees that, during the term of this agreement, the trust
certificates may be transferred only as expressly permitted by this agreement or
in the same manner and to the same extent as the Trust Shares may be transferred
in accordance with the Shareholders Agreements, and only if, in the
15
case of a transfer of Trust Shares to a Permitted Transferee, such Permitted
Transferee executes and delivers to the Trustee a copy of this agreement, the
signature page of which shall specify that such Permitted Transferee is bound by
and takes such trust certificates subject to all the terms of this agreement
that were applicable to the transferor. In such event, the Permitted Transferee
shall hold the trust certificates subject to the terms of this agreement and the
Shareholders Agreements.
7.4 Trustee Information. The Trustee shall supply such information
-------------------
with respect to himself as may be required to be included in any registration
statement or other similar document to be filed with the federal or any state
government by the holders of trust certificates in connection with a transfer by
such holders of Trust Shares or trust certificates contemplated by this
agreement, and shall otherwise use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with such
holders in connection therewith.
8. Compensation and Expenses. Subject to section 9, the Trustee
-------------------------
shall not take or receive or have any claim for compensation or other
consideration for performance of his duties or acting as voting trustee under
this agreement. No holder of trust certificates shall be liable or obligated
for payment of any such expenses.
9. Indemnification of Trustee. The Company shall indemnify and hold
--------------------------
the Trustee harmless from and against any loss, liability, damage or expense
(including reasonable
16
attorneys' fees) arising out of the Trustee's performance under this agreement
or otherwise arising only out of this agreement (it being understood, however,
that the Company's obligation under this section 9 shall not apply to any loss,
liability, damage or expense resulting from the Trustee's wilful breach of this
agreement or the Trustee's gross negligence). The Company shall from time to
time, upon presentation of invoices, reimburse the Trustee for any amount or
amounts the Trustee is reasonably required to pay to defend against any claim in
respect of which the Trustee advises the Company he is entitled to
indemnification under this section 9, as long as the Trustee shall have
furnished the Company an undertaking to repay such amount or amounts if it shall
ultimately be determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction that he is not so entitled to be indemnified. The rights
of the Trustee under this section 9 are in addition to any other rights the
Trustee may have in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent
of the Company or its affiliates under any by-law, agreement, vote of
shareholders or directors or otherwise.
10. Miscellaneous.
-------------
10.1 Governing Law. This agreement shall be governed by and construed
