AND
IRREVOCABLE PROXY
THIS TENDER AND VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY, dated as of
July 27, 1999 (this "Agreement"), is entered into by and between MSAS Global
Logistics Inc., a New York corporation ("Parent"), and MSAS Acquisition
Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent
("Acquisition"), on the one hand, and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxxxx ("Stockholder"), on
the other hand.
RECITALS
A. Concurrently herewith, Parent, Acquisition and Xxxx VII, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the "Company"), have entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, of even date herewith (as such agreement may hereafter be amended from
time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), pursuant to which Acquisition will make a
tender offer (the "Offer") for all outstanding shares of common stock, $0.05 par
value, of the Company ("Company Common Stock") at an offer price of $23 per
share, net to the seller in cash (such amount, or any greater amount per share
paid pursuant to the Offer, shall be referred to herein as the "Offer Price")
and, after Acquisition has accepted tendered shares for payment (the date on
which such acceptance occurs, the "Acceptance Date"), the Company and
Acquisition will merge with the Company as the surviving corporation and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger"). Initially capitalized and
other terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Merger Agreement.
B. Stockholder Beneficially Owns (as defined herein) the number of
shares of Company Common Stock set forth opposite Stockholder's name on Schedule
A hereto (such shares, together with shares of Company Common Stock issuable
upon the exercise of options to purchase shares of Company Common Stock
(including the options set forth on Schedule A (the "Options")), being
collectively referred to herein as the "Shares").
C. As an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger
Agreement, Parent and Acquisition have requested that Stockholder agree, and
Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual
premises, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. PROVISIONS CONCERNING COMPANY COMMON STOCK.
(a) Stockholder hereby agrees with Parent and Acquisition that
Stockholder will, promptly after the date of commencement of the Offer (but in
all events not later than five business days thereafter), tender to Acquisition
all outstanding Shares Beneficially Owned by Stockholder on such date (the
"Tendered Shares"). Stockholder further agrees to tender to Acquisition promptly
after Stockholder's acquisition thereof (but in all events not later than five
business days thereafter) all other shares of Company Common Stock acquired
and/or Beneficially Owned by Stockholder at any time prior to the Acceptance
Date or the date on which the Offer is terminated or expires without Acquisition
having accepted shares for payment. All such subsequently tendered Shares shall
constitute "Tendered Shares" for all purposes of this Agreement. Stockholder
agrees not to withdraw any of the Tendered Shares except following the earliest
of the termination of the Merger Agreement, the termination of the Offer or
expiration of the Offer without Acquisition's having accepted the Tendered
Shares for payment. Stockholder acknowledges and agrees that Acquisition's
obligation to accept for payment and pay for the Tendered Shares is subject to
all the terms and conditions of the Offer.
(b) Stockholder hereby agrees with Parent and Acquisition
that, subject to the receipt of proper notice and in the absence of a
preliminary injunction or other final order by any court or other administrative
or judicial authority barring such action, at any meeting of the Company's
stockholders, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the
Company's stockholders, Stockholder will vote the Shares Beneficially Owned by
Stockholder, whether heretofore owned or hereafter acquired: (i) in favor of
approval of the Merger Agreement and any actions required in furtherance of the
transactions contemplated thereby, including voting such shares in favor of the
election to the Company Board of each person designated by Parent for nomination
thereto pursuant to Section 1.3(a) of the Merger Agreement at any meeting of the
Company's stockholders called for the election of directors; (ii) against any
action or agreement that would result in a breach in any respect of any
covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of the
Company under the Merger Agreement; and (iii) except as otherwise agreed to in
writing in advance by Parent, against (A) any Third Party Acquisition, (B) any
change in a majority of the individuals who, as of the date hereof, constitute
the Board of Directors of the Company (other than as contemplated by Section 1.3
of the Merger Agreement), (C) any extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a
merger, consolidation or other business combination involving the Company or any
of its subsidiaries and any Third Party, (D) a sale, lease, transfer or
disposition of any assets of the Company's or any of its subsidiaries' business
outside the ordinary course of business, or any assets which are material to its
business whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or a reorganization,
recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, (E) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any
amendment of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws, (F) any other
material change in the Company's corporate structure or affecting its business,
or (G) any other action which is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to
impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or materially adversely affect the
Offer, the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Stockholder shall not enter into any agreement or understanding with any person
the effect of which would be inconsistent or violative of the provisions and
agreements contained herein. For purposes of this Agreement, "Beneficially
2
Own" or "Beneficial Ownership" with respect to any securities shall mean
Stockholder having such ownership, control or power to direct the voting with
respect to, or otherwise enables Stockholder to legally act with respect to,
such securities as contemplated hereby, including pursuant to any agreement,
arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing. Securities Beneficially
Owned by Stockholder shall include securities Beneficially Owned by all other
persons with whom Stockholder would constitute a "group" as within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act. Stockholder and Parent acknowledge and
agree that nothing in this Section 1(b) will require or be construed to require
Stockholder to take any action in his capacity as a member of the Company Board.
2. IRREVOCABLE PROXY.
(a) Stockholder hereby constitutes and appoints Acquisition,
which shall act by and through Xxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxx Xxxxx (each, a "Proxy
Holder"), or either of them, with full power of substitution, its true and
lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact to vote at any meeting (and any adjournment or
postponement thereof) of the Company's stockholders called for purposes of
considering whether to approve the Merger Agreement, the Merger or any of the
other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, or any Third Party
Acquisition, or to execute a written consent of stockholders in lieu of any such
meeting, all outstanding Shares Beneficially Owned by Stockholder as of the date
of such meeting or written consent in favor of the approval of the Merger
Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, with such modifications to the Merger Agreement as the parties
thereto may make, or against a Third Party Acquisition, as the case may be. Such
proxy will be limited strictly to the power to vote the Shares in the manner set
forth in the preceding sentence and shall not extend to any other matters.
Without limiting the foregoing, in any such vote or other action pursuant to
such proxy, the Proxy Holders shall not have the right (and such proxy shall not
confer the right) to vote to reduce the Offer Price or otherwise modify or amend
the Merger Agreement to reduce the rights or benefits of the Company or any
stockholders of the Company (including Stockholder) under the Offer or the
Merger Agreement or to reduce the rights or obligations of Parent or Acquisition
thereunder.
(b) The proxy and power of attorney granted herein shall be
irrevocable during the term of this Agreement, shall be deemed to be coupled
with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable proxy and shall
revoke all prior proxies granted by Stockholder. Stockholder will not grant any
proxy to any person which conflicts with the proxy granted herein, and any
attempt to do so will be void. The power of attorney granted herein is a durable
power of attorney and will survive the death or incapacity of Stockholder.
(c) If Stockholder fails for any reason to vote his, hers or
its Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 1(b) hereof, then the
Proxy Holder shall have the right to vote the Shares at any meeting of the
Company's stockholders and in any action by written consent of the Company's
stockholders in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2. The vote of
the Proxy Holder will control in any conflict between his vote of such Shares
and a vote by Stockholder of such Shares.

3. PURCHASE OPTION.
(a) Stockholder grants to Parent and Acquisition an
irrevocable option (the "Purchase Option") to purchase for cash, in the manner
set forth below, any or all of the Shares (and any shares of Company Common
Stock acquired by Stockholder after the date hereof) at a price (the "Exercise
Price") per share equal to the Offer Price. In the event of any stock dividends,
stock splits, recapitalizations, combinations, exchanges or shares or similar
transactions, the Offer Price shall be appropriately adjusted.
(b) (1) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 3(d),
the Purchase Option may be exercised by Parent or Acquisition, in whole or in
part, at any time or from time to time after the occurrence of any Trigger Event
(as defined below). The Company and Stockholder shall notify Parent promptly in
writing of the occurrence of any Trigger Event. The giving of such notice by the
Company or Stockholder is not a condition to the right of Parent or Acquisition
to exercise the Purchase Option. In the event Parent or Acquisition wishes to
exercise the Purchase Option, Parent shall deliver to Stockholder a written
notice (an "Exercise Notice") specifying the total number of Shares it wishes to
purchase from Stockholder. Each closing of a purchase of Shares (a "Closing")
will occur at a place, on a date and at a time designated by Parent or
Acquisition in an Exercise Notice delivered at least two business days prior to
the date of the Closing.
(2) A "Trigger Event" means any one of the following:
(i) the Merger Agreement becomes terminable under circumstances that entitle
Parent or Acquisition to receive the liquidated damages under Section 7.3(a) of
the Merger Agreement or fees and expenses under Section 7.3(b) of the Merger
Agreement (regardless of whether the Merger Agreement is actually terminated and
whether such liquidated damages or fees and expenses are then actually paid);
(ii) the Offer is consummated but, due to the failure of Stockholder to validly
tender and not withdraw all of the then outstanding Beneficially Owned Shares,
Acquisition has not accepted for payment or paid for all of such shares of
Company Common Stock; (iii) a tender or exchange offer for at least 10% of the
shares of Company Common Stock shall have been publicly proposed to be made or
shall have been made by another person; or (iv) it shall have been publicly
disclosed or Parent or Acquisition shall have otherwise learned that (A) any
person or "group" (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) (other
than Parent or Acquisition) shall have acquired or proposed to acquire
beneficial ownership of more than 10% of any class or series of capital stock of
the Company (including the Company Common Stock), through the acquisition of
stock, the formation of a group or otherwise, or shall have been granted any
option, right or warrant, conditional or otherwise, to acquire beneficial
ownership of more than 10% of any class or series of capital stock of the
Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (B) any person or group (other than
Parent and Acquisition) shall have entered into or publicly offered to enter
into a definitive agreement or an agreement in principle with respect to a
merger, consolidation or other business combination with the Company or any of
its subsidiaries.
(3) If requested by Parent and Acquisition in the
Exercise Notice, Stockholder shall exercise all Options (to the extent
exercisable) and other rights (including
4
conversion or exchange rights) Beneficially Owned by Stockholder and shall sell
or, if directed by Parent and Acquisition, tender the Shares acquired pursuant
to such exercise to Parent or Acquisition as provided in this Agreement.
(c) TERMINATION OF PURCHASE OPTION. The Purchase Option will terminate
upon the earliest of: (i) the Acceptance Date; (ii) termination of the Merger
Agreement other than upon, during the continuance of or after a Trigger Event;
or (iii) 90 days following any termination of the Merger Agreement upon, during
the continuance of or after a Trigger Event (or if, at the expiration of such 90
day period the Purchase Option cannot be exercised by reason of any applicable
judgment, decree, order, injunction, law or regulation, ten business days after
such impediment to exercise has been removed or has become final and not subject
to appeal). Upon the giving by Parent or Acquisition to Stockholder of the
Exercise Notice and the tender of the aggregate Exercise Price, Parent or
Acquisition, as the case may be, will be deemed to be the holder of record of
the Shares transferable upon such exercise, notwithstanding that the stock
transfer books of the Company are then closed or that certificates representing
such Shares have not been actually delivered to Parent.
(d) CONDITIONS TO CLOSING. The obligation of Stockholder to sell
Stockholder's Shares to Parent or Acquisition hereunder is subject to the
conditions that: (i) all waiting periods, if any, under the HSR Act, applicable
to the sale of the Shares or the acquisition of the Shares by Parent or
Acquisition, as the case may be, hereunder have expired or have been terminated;
(ii) all consents, approvals, orders or authorizations of, or registrations,
declarations or filings with, any court, administrative agency or other
Governmental Entity, if any, required in connection with sale of the Shares or
the acquisition of the Shares by Parent or Acquisition hereunder have been
obtained or made; and (iii) no preliminary or permanent injunction or other
order by any court of competent jurisdiction prohibiting or otherwise
restraining such sale or acquisition is in effect.
(e) CLOSING. At any Closing with respect to Shares Beneficially Owned
by Stockholder, (i) Stockholder will deliver to Parent, Acquisition or their
respective designee a certificate or certificates in definitive form
representing the number of the Shares designated by Parent or Acquisition, as
the case may be, in its Exercise Notice, such certificate to be registered in
the name of Parent, Acquisition or their respective designee and (ii) Parent or
Acquisition, as the case may be, will deliver to Stockholder the aggregate
Exercise Price for the Shares so designated and being purchased by wire transfer
of immediately available funds.
(f) REGISTRATION RIGHTS. (1) Following termination of the Merger
Agreement, Parent or Acquisition may in its sole discretion (but shall not be
required) by written notice (the "Registration Notice") to the Company request
the Company to register under the Securities Act all or any part of the shares
of Company Common Stock acquired under the Purchase Option (the "Registrable
Securities").
(2) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to effect, as promptly as practicable, the registration under the Securities Act
of the Registrable Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that (i) Parent and
Acquisition will be entitled to no more than one effective
5
registration statement hereunder and (ii) the Company will not be required to
file any such registration statement during any period of time (not to exceed 40
days after such request in the case of clause (A) below or 90 days in the case
of clauses (B) and (C) below) when (A) the Company is in possession of material
non-public information that it reasonably believes would be detrimental to be
disclosed at such time and that such information would have to be disclosed if a
registration statement were filed at that time, (B) the Company is required
under the Securities Act to include audited financial statements for any period
in such registration statement and such financial statements are not yet
available for inclusion in such registration statement or (C) the Company
determines, in its reasonable judgment, that such registration would interfere
with any proposed financing, acquisition or other material transaction involving
the Company or any of its affiliates. The Company shall use its reasonable best
efforts to cause any Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Section
3(f) to be qualified for sale under the securities or blue-sky laws of such
jurisdictions as Parent or Acquisition may reasonably request and shall continue
such registration or qualification in effect in such jurisdiction.
(3) The registration rights set forth in this
Section 3(f) are subject to the condition that Parent and Acquisition shall
provide the Company with such information with respect to their Registrable
Securities, the plans for the distribution thereof, and such other information
with respect to such holder as, in the reasonable judgment of counsel for the
Company, is necessary to enable the Company to include in such registration
statement all material facts required to be disclosed with respect to a
registration thereunder.
(4) A registration effected under this Section 3(f) will
be effected at the Company's expense, except for underwriting discounts and
commissions and the fees and the expenses of counsel to Parent and Acquisition
(which will be paid by Parent and Acquisition, and the Company shall provide to
the underwriters (in connection with an underwritten offering) such
documentation (including certificates, opinions of counsel and "comfort" letters
from auditors) as are customary in connection with underwritten offerings as
such underwriters may reasonably require. In connection with any such
registration, the parties agree (i) to indemnify each other and the underwriters
in the customary manner, (ii) to enter into an underwriting agreement in form
and substance customary for transactions of such type with the underwriters
participating in such offering and (iii) to take all further actions that will
be reasonably necessary to effect such registration and sale (including, if the
underwriters deem it necessary, participating in road-show presentations).
4. DIRECTOR MATTERS EXCLUDED. Parent and Acquisition acknowledge and
agree that no provision of this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict
Stockholder with respect to any act or omission that Stockholder may undertake
or authorize in his capacity as a director of the Company, including any vote
that Stockholder may make as a director of the Company with respect to any
matter presented to the Board of Directors of the Company.
5. OTHER COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Stockholder hereby
represents and warrants to Parent and Acquisition as follows:
(a) OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. Stockholder is the Beneficial Owner
of all the
6
Shares. On the date hereof, the Shares constitute all of the Shares

with no limitations, qualifications or restrictions on such rights.
(b) POWER; BINDING AGREEMENT. Stockholder has the legal

under this Agreement. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
by Stockholder shall not violate any agreement or any court order to which

disposition of, any or all of the Shares or any interest therein; (ii) grant any
proxies or powers of attorney or deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter

(d) OTHER POTENTIAL ACQUIRORS. Stockholder (i) will
immediately cease any existing discussions or negotiations, if any, with any

respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity,

right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in
respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other
party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the
parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such
party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to
demand such compliance.
(i) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving
effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.
