TENDER AND OPTION AGREEMENT
AND
IRREVOCABLE PROXY
TENDER AND OPTION AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY (this
"AGREEMENT") dated as of August 1, 2002, by and among FOUR SEASONS HEALTH CARE
LIMITED, a private limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales
("PARENT"), DELTA I ACQUISITION, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of
Delaware and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("SUB"), Omega
Worldwide, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Maryland (the
"COMPANY"), and ___________________ (the "STOCKHOLDER").
W I T N E S S E T H:
- - - - - - - - - -
WHEREAS, Parent, Sub and the Company propose to enter into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be
amended or supplemented, the "MERGER AGREEMENT"), pursuant to which Sub is to
make a tender offer to purchase, subject to the terms and conditions of the
Merger Agreement, any and all of the Shares of the Company and thereafter be
merged with the Company (the "MERGER");
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder beneficially
owns (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act)
and the Stockholder is entitled to dispose of and to vote the number of Shares
set forth on EXHIBIT A hereto, as such shares may be adjusted by stock dividend,
stock split, recapitalization, combination, merger (other than the Merger),
consolidation, reorganization or other change in the capital structure of the
Company affecting the Shares (such shares, together with any other shares the
beneficial ownership of which is acquired by the Stockholder during the period
from and including the date hereof through and including the date on which this
Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, are collectively referred
to herein as the Stockholder's "SUBJECT SHARES"); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Sub
to enter into the Merger Agreement, and as an inducement and in consideration
therefor, Parent has required that the Stockholder agree, and the 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, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as
follows:
ARTICLE I
DEFINITIONS
Section 1.1 DEFINITIONS. For purposes of this Agreement,
capitalized terms used and not defined herein shall have the respective meanings
ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
ARTICLE II
TENDER OF SHARES
Section 2.1 TENDER OF SHARES. The Stockholder hereby agrees to
tender validly (and not to withdraw), or to cause to be tendered validly (and
not withdrawn), pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer and
Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, all of the Stockholder's Subject Shares
(other than Shares for which unexercised options are exercisable unless such
options shall have been exercised) not later than (i) the fifth (5th) Business
Day after commencement of the Offer and (ii) in the case of any Subject Shares
acquired after the date hereof, whether upon the exercise of options, warrants
or rights, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities,
or otherwise, the next succeeding Business Day after acquisition thereof, and
will cause the Stockholder's Subject Shares to remain validly tendered and not
withdrawn until the Offer is terminated or has expired without Sub purchasing
all Shares validly tendered in the Offer. Notwithstanding the provisions of the
preceding sentence, in the event that any Subject Shares are for any reason
withdrawn from the Offer or are not purchased pursuant to the Offer, such
Subject Shares shall remain subject to the terms of this Agreement until the
termination hereof. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the obligation
of Sub to accept for payment and pay for Shares tendered into the Offer,
including the Subject Shares, is subject to the conditions set forth in Annex A
to the Merger Agreement. The obligations of the Stockholder hereunder are
conditioned on the Merger Agreement not being amended to decrease the Offer
Price or in any manner that materially delays or adversely affects the ability
of the Company, Parent or Sub to consummate the Offer, the Merger or the other
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
ARTICLE III
VOTING AND PROXY
Section 3.1 AGREEMENT TO VOTE THE SUBJECT SHARES. The
Stockholder, in its capacity as such, hereby agrees that during the period
commencing on the date hereof and continuing until the termination of this
Agreement (such period, the "VOTING PERIOD"), at any meeting (or any adjournment
or postponement thereof) of the holders of any class or classes of the capital
stock of the Company, however called, or in connection with any written consent
of the holders of any class or classes of the capital stock of the Company, the
Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) the Subject Shares (x) in favor of
the Merger and the approval of the terms of the Merger Agreement and each of the
other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and this Agreement and
any actions required in furtherance thereof, (y) against any action, transaction
or agreement that the Stockholder knows would result in a breach in any
-2-
respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or
agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the Merger Agreement
or of the Stockholder under this Agreement and (z) except as otherwise agreed to
in writing in advance by Parent, against the following actions (other than the
Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the
PHFL Offer and the sale of the Company's equity interests in PHFT): (i) any
extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation or other
business combination involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any
Acquisition Proposal; (ii) a sale, lease or transfer of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or a reorganization,
recapitalization, dissolution or liquidation of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries (each of the actions in (i) or (ii), a "BUSINESS COMBINATION"); and
(iii) (A) any change in the Persons who constitute the board of directors of the
Company; (B) any change in the present capitalization of the Company or any
amendment of the Company's Articles of Amendment and Restatement or Bylaws; (C)
any other material change in the Company's corporate structure or business; or
(D) any other action involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that is
intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, interfere with, delay,
postpone, or adversely affect the Merger and the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. The Stockholder hereby agrees that the
Stockholder shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, enter into any
agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle or understanding with any
Person that violates or conflicts with, or could reasonably be expected to
violate or conflict with, the provisions and agreements contained in this
Agreement or the Merger Agreement.
Section 3.2 GRANT OF PROXY. The Stockholder hereby appoints
Parent, Sub and any designee of Parent or Sub, and each of them individually,
the Stockholder's proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution
and resubstitution, to vote or act by written consent during the Voting Period
with respect to the Stockholder's Subject Shares in accordance with Section 3.1.
This proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Stockholder
under this Agreement. The Stockholder affirms that this proxy is coupled with an
interest and shall be irrevocable. Each Stockholder shall take such further
action or execute such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the
intent of this proxy.
Section 3.3 NATURE OF PROXY. The proxy and power of attorney
granted pursuant to Section 3.2 by the Stockholder 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 the Stockholder. The Stockholder agrees that it will not
grant any proxy to any Person that conflicts with the proxy granted by the
Stockholder pursuant to Section 3.2, and any attempt to do so shall be void and
of no force and effect. The power of attorney granted herein is a durable power
of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity
of the Stockholder.
ARTICLE IV
PURCHASE OPTION
Section 4.1 OPTION GRANT. The Stockholder hereby severally
grants to each of Parent and Sub an irrevocable option (each such option, a
"STOCK OPTION") to purchase, at any time after the occurrence of a Triggering
Event (as defined below) but prior to the termination of
-3-
the Stock Option pursuant to Section 4.5, all but not less than all of the
Stockholder's Subject Shares at a purchase price (the "EXERCISE PRICE") per
Share equal to the Offer Price. A Stock Option shall not be exercisable (i)
unless all waiting periods under any Antitrust Laws required for the purchase of
such Shares pursuant to such Stock Option shall have expired or been waived,
(ii) if there shall then be in effect any preliminary injunction or other
non-final order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting the exercise of
any Stock Option, (iii) unless Parent has exercised its rights to purchase
shares pursuant to the terms of the Other Tender Agreements as in effect on the
date hereof and (iv) unless an Affiliate of Parent has purchased the ordinary
shares of PHFL and the warrants to purchase ordinary shares of PHFL held by
Stockholder pursuant to the PHFL Offer or, in the event the PHFL Offer has
terminated, Parent has irrevocably committed to offer to purchase such shares
and warrants on the terms set forth in the PHFL Offer as soon as practicable,
subject to compliance with applicable laws and the Articles of Association of
PHFL. The Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent and Sub in writing in the
event that it obtains current actual knowledge (without any duty of inquiry or
investigation) of the occurrence of any Triggering Event, it being understood
that the giving of such notice is not a condition to the right of Parent to
exercise the Stock Option.
Section 4.2 ADJUSTMENT UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION OR
MERGER. (a) In the event of any change in the outstanding number of Shares by
reason of a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, merger,
consolidation, recapitalization, combination, conversion, exchange of shares,
extraordinary or liquidating dividend or similar transaction that would affect
Parent's or Sub's rights hereunder, the type and number of shares or securities
purchasable upon the exercise of the Stock Option and the Exercise Price shall
be adjusted appropriately, and proper provision will be made in the agreements
governing such transaction, as shall fully preserve the economic benefits
provided hereunder to Parent and Sub and the full satisfaction of the
Stockholder's obligations hereunder.
(b) Without limiting the foregoing, whenever the number of
Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Stock Option is adjusted as provided in
this Section 4.2, the Exercise Price shall be adjusted by multiplying the
Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of
Subject Shares purchasable prior to the adjustment and the denominator of which
is equal to the number of Subject Shares purchasable after the adjustment.
(c) Without limiting or altering the parties' rights and
obligations under the Merger Agreement, in the event that the Company enters
into an agreement (i) to consolidate with or merge into any Person, other than
Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, and the Company will not be the continuing or
surviving corporation in such consolidation or merger, (ii) to permit any
Person, other than Parent or one of its Subsidiaries, to consolidate with or
merge into the Company and the Company will be the continuing or surviving
corporation, but in connection with such consolidation or merger, the Shares
outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation or
merger will be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of the
Company or any other Person or cash or any other property, or the Shares
outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of such consolidation or
merger will, after such consolidation or merger, represent less than 50% of the
outstanding voting securities of the merged company or (iii) to sell or
otherwise transfer all or substantially all of its assets (other than the
Company's equity interest in PHFT) to any Person, other than Parent or one of
its Subsidiaries, then, and in each such case, the Company and, if Stockholder
is a party thereto, Stockholder
-4-
agrees that the agreement governing such transaction will make proper provision
so that the Stock Option will, upon the consummation of any such transaction and
upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, be converted into, or exchanged
for, an option with identical terms appropriately adjusted to acquire the number
and class of shares or other securities or property that Parent would have
received in respect of Subject Shares had the Stock Option been exercised
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer or the record
date therefor, as applicable, and shall make any other necessary adjustments.
The Company and the Stockholder to the extent, if any, that it is able to do so,
shall take such steps in connection with such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer as may be reasonably necessary to assure that the provisions hereof
shall thereafter apply as nearly as possible to any securities or property
thereafter deliverable upon exercise of the Stock Option.
Section 4.3 EXERCISE OF OPTION. In the event that a Triggering
Event has occurred, the Stock Option has not terminated and Parent or Sub wishes
to exercise any Stock Option, it shall send a written notice (the "Notice") to
the Stockholder specifying (i) the number of Subject Shares for which the Stock
Option is being exercised (which must constitute all of the Subject Shares held
by Stockholder) and (ii) a date (not less than two (2) Business Days and not
later than ten (10) Business Days after the date of such Notice) for the closing
(the "OPTION CLOSING") of the purchase of the Stockholder's Subject Shares. The
Option Closing shall take place at the offices of White & Case LLP, 1155 Avenue
of the Americas, New York, New York. At any Option Closing, Parent or Sub will
deliver to the Stockholder, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the account designated by the Stockholder to Parent or Sub prior to the Option
Closing, the Exercise Price payable in respect of the Subject Shares to be
purchased from the Stockholder at the Option Closing, and the Stockholder will
deliver to Parent or Sub such Subject Shares, free and clear of all Liens, with
any and all certificates evidencing such Subject Shares, if any, being duly
endorsed for transfer by the Stockholder and accompanied by all powers of
attorney and/or other instruments reasonably necessary to convey valid and
unencumbered title thereto to Parent or Sub. The Company will pay all expenses,
and any and all United States federal, state and local taxes and other charges
that may be payable in connection with the preparation, issue and delivery of
stock certificates under this Section 4.3 in the name of Parent or its designee.
Section 4.4 DEFINITIONS. (a) "TRIGGERING EVENT" shall mean any
one of the following:
(i) the Merger Agreement is terminated under Section 8.1 and as a
result of such termination Parent may be entitled to receive
termination fees under Section 9.1(b) of the Merger Agreement
(regardless of whether such fees are then actually payable);
or
(ii) Stockholder fails to validly tender and not withdraw the
Subject Shares as required by Section 2.1 hereof regardless of
whether the Offer is consummated or expires.
Section 4.5 TERMINATION OF OPTION. The Stock Option will
terminate upon the earliest of (v) the issuance of any non-appealable permanent
injunction or other final order issued by any Governmental Entity prohibiting
the exercise of the Stock Option, (w) the Effective
-5-
Time, (x) termination of the Merger Agreement (I) pursuant to Section 8.1(a)
thereof, (II) by the Company pursuant to Section 8.1(b)(i), Section 8.1(c)(ii)
or Section 8.1(c)(iii)(x) thereof, (III) by the Company pursuant to Section
8.1(b)(ii) or Section 8.1(c)(iii)(y), other than, in each case, upon or during
the continuance of an event which would become a Triggering Event if the Merger
Agreement was terminated or (III) by Parent, other than upon or during the
continuance of a Triggering Event, (y) seven (7) days following any termination
of the Merger Agreement upon or during the continuance of a Triggering Event (or
if, at the expiration of such seven (7) day period, the Stock Option cannot be
exercised by reason of any applicable judgment, decree, order, law or regulation
(other than those judgments and final orders described in clause (v) above) or
by reason of the failure of any waiting period under any Antitrust Laws
applicable to the purchase of the Subject Shares pursuant to the Stock Option to
have expired or been waived provided that Parent has not unreasonably delayed
any filing required by such Antitrust Laws, seven (7) Business Days after such
impediment to exercise has been removed or has become final and not subject to
appeal) and (z) the eighty second (82nd) day immediately following the
commencement of the Offer.
ARTICLE V

shall not and shall cause its Affiliates not to (i) sell, transfer, tender,
pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract,

of attorney in respect of the Subject Shares, deposit any of the Stockholder's

shall, and shall take all actions reasonably necessary to cause its Affiliates
and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees,
representatives, consultants, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and
other agents (to the extent such agents are acting on the Stockholder's behalf)

may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal or (v) to grant
any waiver or release under any standstill, confidentiality or similar agreement
entered into by the Company or any of its Affiliates or representatives
regarding or in connection with an Acquisition Proposal. Without limiting the
foregoing, Parent, Sub, the Company and the Stockholder agree that any violation
of the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.2 by any Person who is an
officer, director, employee or wholly owned subsidiary of Stockholder, or any,
representative, consultant, investment banker, attorney, accountant or other
agent of the Stockholder or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries, (to the extent
such Persons are acting on the Stockholder's behalf) and has been informed by
the Stockholder, or otherwise made aware or had knowledge, of its obligations
hereunder shall constitute a breach by the Stockholder of this Section 5.2;
provided, however, that if the Stockholder is aware that any such Person is in
violation of the restrictions contained in this Section 5.2, the Stockholder
shall be in breach of this Section 5.2 if such agent does not refrain from such
action. The Stockholder shall enforce, to the fullest extent permitted under
applicable law, the provisions of any standstill, confidentiality or similar
agreement entered into by the Stockholder or any of its Affiliates or
representatives including, but not limited to, where necessary, seeking to
obtaining injunctions to prevent any breaches of such agreements and to enforce
