WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement;
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder is the record and/or beneficial owner of the number of shares of Company Common Stock (including shares of Company Restricted Stock and shares of Company Common Stock under the Company 401(k) Plan) set forth across from the Stockholder’s name on Schedule A attached hereto and has the voting and dispositive power in connection with the Merger with respect to such shares (the “Existing Shares” and, together with any shares of Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder after the date hereof, whether upon the exercise of options, conversion of convertible securities or otherwise, including as contemplated by Section 1(d), the “Shares”); and
WHEREAS, as an inducement and a condition to entering into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder has agreed, to enter into this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
1. Agreement to Vote; Irrevocable Proxy; Etc.
(a) Agreement to Vote. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, from and after the date hereof and until the Termination Date (as defined in Section 5 below), at any meeting of the holders of Company Common Stock, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the holders of Company Common Stock, the Stockholder shall (x) appear at such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and respond to any other request by the Company or Parent for written consent, if any, and (y) vote (or cause to be voted) the Shares (i) in favor of (A) approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (B) any other matter that is required to facilitate the consummation of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (ii) against the following actions: (A) any Acquisition Proposal, (B) any other action involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of impeding, materially interfering with, materially delaying, materially postponing, or impairing (I) the ability of the Company to consummate the Merger or (II) any other transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement or (C) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the consummation of the Merger set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled on or prior to the Outside Date. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, no Stockholder shall enter into any agreement or understanding with any Person prior to the Termination Date to vote in any manner inconsistent herewith. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the obligations of the Stockholder specified in this Section 1(a) shall not be affected by the commencement, public proposal, public disclosure or communication to the Company of any Acquisition Proposal prior to the Termination Date.
(b) Irrevocable Proxy. The Stockholder hereby revokes any and all previous proxies and powers of attorney granted with respect to the Shares, and the Stockholder shall not grant any subsequent proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, except as set forth in this Agreement or required by a letter of transmittal. By entering into this Agreement, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(b), the Stockholder hereby grants, or agrees to cause the applicable record holder to grant, a proxy appointing Parent, any designee of Parent and each of Parent’s officers, with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as the Stockholder’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, for and in the Stockholder’s name, to be counted as present, vote, express consent or dissent with respect to the Shares for the purposes set forth in Section 1(a). The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1(b) is, subject to the last sentence of this Section 1(b), irrevocable and is coupled with an interest, in accordance with Section 212(e) of the DGCL, and is granted in order to secure the Stockholder’s performance under this Agreement and also in consideration of Parent entering into this Agreement and the Merger Agreement. The power of attorney granted by the Stockholder is a durable power of attorney and shall survive the dissolution, bankruptcy, death or incapacity of the Stockholder. If the Stockholder fails for any reason to be counted as present, consent or vote the Shares in accordance with the requirements of Section 1(a), then Parent shall have the right to cause to be present, consent or vote the Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 1(a). The proxy granted by the Stockholder shall be automatically revoked upon the valid termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 5. The Stockholder hereby affirms that the proxy granted in this Section 1(b) is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Stockholder under this Agreement. If for any reason the proxy granted herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be valid, then the Stockholder agrees to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 1(a). For Shares as to which the Stockholder is the beneficial but not the record owner, the Stockholder shall take all necessary actions to cause any record owner of such Shares to irrevocably constitute and appoint Parent and its designees as such record owner’s attorney and proxy and grant an irrevocable proxy to the same effect as that contained herein.
| 2 |
(c) Restriction on Transfer. From the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, except as otherwise contemplated in the Merger Agreement, the Stockholder shall not (i) sell, transfer, pledge, encumber, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the sale, transfer, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition of, or limitation on the voting rights of, any of the Shares (any such action, a “Transfer”), (ii) deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a separate voting agreement with respect to the Shares, (iii) take any action that would cause any representation or warranty of the Stockholder contained herein to become untrue or incorrect, in each case, in any material respect, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing or disabling the Stockholder from performing his obligations under this Agreement or (iv) commit or agree to take any of the foregoing actions. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Stockholder may make Transfers of Shares by will, for estate or tax planning purposes, for charitable purposes or as charitable gifts or donations; provided, that, each transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement applicable to the Stockholder and to hold such Shares subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as such terms and provisions bound the Stockholder. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Shares shall occur, the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include the initial transferee and any and all subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until the Termination Date. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Stockholder hereby authorizes (x) Parent to notify the Company’s transfer agent that there is a stop transfer order with respect to all Shares (and that this Agreement places limits on the voting and transfer of the Shares) and (y) the Company and the Company’s transfer agent not to register the Transfer of any certificate representing any of the Shares unless such Transfer is made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(d) Additional Shares. The Stockholder hereby agrees, prior to the Termination Date, to promptly notify Parent in writing of any new Shares acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the execution of this Agreement. Any such Shares shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement as though owned by the Stockholder on the date of this Agreement. In the event of a stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Company Common Stock by reason of any split-up, reverse stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, reincorporation, exchange of shares or the like, the terms “Existing Shares” and “Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.
(e) Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent, any of the Persons identified in Section 1(b) or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to, or pecuniary interest in, any of the Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to, and pecuniary interest in, the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and none of Parent, the Persons identified in Section 1(b) or any other Person shall have any power or authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the Shares, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
| 3 |
(f) Non-Solicitation. Prior to the Termination Date, the Stockholder shall (i) not (whether directly or indirectly through any representative of the Stockholder) engage in any conduct that if conducted by the Company would be prohibited by Section 6.4(a)(i) or (ii) of the Merger Agreement after taking into account the terms of such section and (ii) advise the Company (in order that the Company can timely comply with its obligations under Section 6.4(c) of the Merger Agreement) of the Stockholder’s receipt of any Acquisition Proposal.
