B Stockholders represent a significant portion of such voting power;
WHEREAS, each of the Class B Stockholders, each of the trustees (each individually, a
“Trustee” and collectively, the “Trustees”) of the Class B Stockholders which are
trusts (each such trust, a “Class B Trust” and collectively, the “Class B Trusts”)
and each of the Members (as defined in Section 2.1) believes that it is in the best long-term
interests of the Class B Stockholders and the beneficiaries of the Class B Trusts to consolidate
and unify the voting, management and control power represented by the Shares, to qualify AMC as a
“controlled company” under the listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Market and to ensure the
continued control of AMC by the family of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx;
WHEREAS, each of the agreements establishing the respective Class B Trusts provides, in part,
that the Trustee or Trustees of each of such Class B Trusts may enter into this Agreement on behalf
of such Class B Trusts, and each such Trustee has been duly authorized, on behalf of such Class B
Trusts, to enter into, execute and deliver this Agreement and perform all of the obligations
contained herein, including, without limitation, those provisions with respect to the voting and
transfer of Shares;

2011, the Board approved the Agreement and the entering into the Agreement by each of the Class B
Stockholders listed on Schedule A hereto;
WHEREAS, certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 14.

(including in his or her capacity as a stockholder, trustee or otherwise, and including, without
limitation, attendance at meetings in person or by proxy for purposes of obtaining a quorum and/or
execution of written consents in lieu of meetings) to vote all such Shares that may be voted on
such matter as follows:
(a) prior to the death or Permanent Incapacity of both Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx
(the “Transition Time”), in accordance with the determination of a majority of the Shares
voted at a meeting of the Class B Stockholders; provided that (i) at least a
majority of the then outstanding Shares is represented at such meeting (including by proxy),
(ii) all Class B Stockholders have been duly notified, or have waived notice, of such
meeting in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.2 (in analogous application
thereof), (iii) such meeting may be attended telephonically or by other means by virtue of
which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and (iv) notwithstanding
the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Class B
Stockholders may be taken without a meeting if holders representing a majority of the then
outstanding Class B common stock of AMC (“Class B Common Stock”) consent thereto in writing
(such a majority, the “Class B Majority”);
(b) after the Transition Time,
(i) in accordance with the determination of the Xxxxx Family Committee, acting by
Majority Vote, except in the case of (x) a vote on a Going-Private Transaction, in
which case acting by a Two-Thirds Majority Vote (it being understood and agreed that
nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require any Class B Stockholder to
participate, directly or indirectly, as a buyer in any Going-Private Transaction) and
(y) a vote on a transaction that would result in a Change in Control, in which case

(ii) with respect to any Excluded Trusts, in accordance with the determination of
Excluded Trusts holding a majority of the Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts, except
in the case of a vote on a Going-Private Transaction or a transaction that would result in
a Change of Control, in which case in accordance with the determination of Excluded Trusts
holding two-thirds of the Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts, in each case that are
voted at a meeting of the Excluded
2
Trusts; provided that (w) at least a majority of the then outstanding
Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts is represented at such meeting (including by
proxy), (x) all Excluded Trusts have been duly notified, or have waived notice, of
such meeting in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 4.2 (in analogous
application thereof), (y) such meeting may be attended telephonically or by other
means by virtue of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other and
(z) notwithstanding the foregoing, any action required or permitted to be taken at
any meeting of the Excluded Trusts may be taken without a meeting if Excluded Trusts
representing a majority of the then outstanding Shares held by all of the Excluded Trusts
consent thereto in writing.
1.2. In order to secure each Class B Stockholder’s obligation to vote its, his or her Shares
in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.1, each Class B Stockholder hereby appoints such
person as shall be designated in connection with each vote pursuant to Section 1.1 by the Class B
Majority or the Xxxxx Family Committee, as the case may be (such person, the “Applicable
Proxy”), as its, his or her true and lawful proxy and attorney-in-fact, with full power of
substitution, to vote all of such Class B Stockholder’s Shares as provided for in Section 1.1;
provided that the irrevocable proxy granted hereunder by the Excluded Trusts shall
terminate at the Transition Time. The Applicable Proxy may exercise the irrevocable proxy granted
to it hereunder at any time any Class B Stockholder fails to comply with the provisions of Section
1.1. The proxies and powers granted by each Class B Stockholder pursuant to this Section 1.2 are
coupled with an interest and are given to secure the performance of the obligations under this
Agreement. Such proxies and powers will be irrevocable until terminated as provided in this
Section 1.2 or the termination of this Agreement and will survive the death, incompetency and
disability of each Class B Stockholder who is an individual and the existence of each Class B
Stockholder that is a trust or other entity. It is understood and agreed that the Applicable Proxy
will not use such irrevocable proxy unless a Class B Stockholder fails to comply with Section 1.1
and that, to the extent the Applicable Proxy uses such irrevocable proxy, it will only vote such
Shares with respect to the matters specified in, and in accordance with the provisions of, Section
1.1.
1.3. In the event any action is taken by written consent pursuant to Section 1.1(a) or Section
1.1(b)(ii), the other Class B Stockholders or Excluded Trusts, as the case may be, shall be
promptly notified of such written consent and such written consent shall be filed with the minutes
of the proceedings of the Class B Stockholders or Excluded Trusts, as the case may be.
1.4. After the Transition Time, the Trustees of the Excluded Trusts will discuss their voting
intentions with the Xxxxx Family Committee in advance of any vote by the Class B Stockholders.

Section 2. The Xxxxx Family Committee. |
2.1. The Class B Stockholders hereby create a committee to exercise, to the extent and in the
manner provided herein, certain voting, management and control powers over the Class B Common Stock
(the “Xxxxx Family Committee”), which shall initially consist of eight members (each
individually, a “Member”, and collectively, the “Members”).
2.2. The Class B Stockholders hereby designate Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx X.
Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx-Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxx
X. Xxxxx as the initial Members, each of whom hereby accepts such designation and hereby agrees to
act as a Member hereunder.
2.3. The Xxxxx Family Committee shall make all reasonable efforts to meet and discuss any
matter to be voted on by the Class B Stockholders prior to the taking of such vote.
2.4. Each Member, other than Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx and Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, shall have the power to
designate, by an instrument in writing, a person or a series of persons to act as his or her
successor or consecutive successors as a Member; provided that (a) no designation by any
Member shall be inconsistent with designations made by a former Member who is a predecessor of such
Member and (b) except with the prior consent of the Xxxxx Family Committee, acting by
Majority Vote (excluding the vote of the Member wishing to make such designation), no person shall
be designated as a successor Member unless such person is (i) the designating Member’s
spouse, (ii) an Adult child of such designating Member, or (iii) in the case of a
designation by a Member that will take effect upon such Member’s death or Permanent Incapacity, an
Interim Member, but only if such designation of an Interim Member is conditioned on such Member not
being survived by a spouse or Adult child. Once a child of a Member who appointed an Interim
Member has become an Adult, such child shall have the right to remove and replace such Interim
Member. The power of a Member to designate successor Members shall include, without limitation,
the power to designate a temporary successor Member pending a descendant of such designating Member
becoming an Adult. Subject to a Member’s right to replace any such successor Member pursuant to
this Section 2.4, any such instrument of designation shall become effective according to its terms
and shall be revocable at any time prior to the qualification of the designee. In the event that
there shall be more than one instrument executed by the same person designating a successor Member,
then the instrument that shall bear the most recent date and shall be unrevoked shall govern. Each
former Member shall have the power, until his or her death or Permanent Incapacity, to replace any
successor Member of such Member (including, without limitation, a temporary successor Member) by
designating, in accordance with this Section 2.4, another person, which may be such former Member,
as his or her successor Member. For the avoidance of doubt, the voting rights of any Interim
Member on the Xxxxx Family Committee shall be in addition to any rights such person otherwise has a
Member.
4
2.5. Any Member acting hereunder may resign at any time and for any reason by a written notice
delivered to the other Members, to any former Member that is a predecessor of such Member and to
the designated successor Member of such Member, if any.
2.6. In the event of the death, resignation or other failure to act of a Member other than
Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx or Xxxxx X. Xxxxx, or in the event of a court appointing a conservator, committee
or guardian for such Member, and in the event that any such vacancy shall not be filled pursuant to
the exercise of such Member’s, or one of such Member’s predecessor’s, power to designate his or her
successor Member, as provided for in Section 2.4, then the successor Member to such Member shall be
an individual designated by the trustees of the Applicable Member’s Trusts, acting unanimously;
provided that (a) the prior consent of the Xxxxx Family Committee, acting by
Majority Vote (excluding the vote of the relevant Member, if any), shall be required for the
appointment of any successor Member who could not have been appointed by such Member without such
consent pursuant to Section 2.4(b) and (b) if such Member is survived by a child, such
child shall have the right at any time after such child has become an Adult to remove and replace
any successor Member appointed pursuant to this sentence or, if no such successor Member has been
appointed, to appoint a successor Member. If at any time no successor Member to such Member shall
have been appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2, then, unless and until such a
successor Member shall have been appointed, such Member shall have no successor Member and such
Member shall cease to be a Member and, unless and until such successor Member has been appointed,
the Xxxxx Family Committee shall consist of the remaining Members.
2.7. Notwithstanding Section 2.6, if any Sibling Member or successor Member is no longer
deemed to own any Shares, as determined in accordance with Section 3.1 of this Agreement, then such
Member shall cease to be a Member and thereafter the Xxxxx Family Committee shall consist of the
remaining Members.
2.8. Any rights hereunder of any Adult child of a Member who has died or become Permanently
Incapacitated shall be exercised collectively by all such Adult children, acting by majority vote.
Section 3. Voting and Powers of the Xxxxx Family Committee.
3.1. After the Transition Time, each Member shall be entitled to one vote on all matters to be
voted on by the Xxxxx Family Committee; provided that (i) if at any time a Member’s
ownership of Shares decreases to less than 50% of such Member’s Class B Baseline Share Ownership at
that time, such Member will not be entitled to a vote, and (ii) if at any time a Member’s
ownership of Shares increases, solely as a result of purchases of Shares from other Class B
Stockholders, to at least 50% more than such Member’s Class B Baseline Share Ownership at that
time, such Member will be entitled to one additional vote.
5
For purposes of this Section 3, each Member shall be deemed to own the Shares that are owned
by the Sibling Group of such Member or, if such Member is not a Sibling Member, such Member’s
predecessor who was a Sibling Member.
3.2. In the event of a tie vote of the Xxxxx Family Committee on a decision that requires a
Majority Vote, the Xxxxx Family Committee will act (including making recommendations to the
Trustees of the Excluded Trusts pursuant to Section 1.1(b)) by majority vote of the Shares then
deemed to be owned by the Members, determined as provided in Section 3.1.
3.3. After the Transition Time, in addition to the powers granted in this Agreement, the Xxxxx

Xxxxx Family Committee to be necessary or advisable to exercise the powers and duties of
the Xxxxx Family Committee under this Agreement; and
(c) employ and pay reasonable compensation to such agents, advisors, accountants,
attorneys and investment counsel as may be necessary or desirable in carrying out the
duties and powers of the Xxxxx Family Committee.
Section 4. Meetings of the Xxxxx Family Committee.

Transition Time, and, thereafter, by any two Members, in each case by giving notice thereof to the
other Members in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.

is to be held, or (ii) if sent to such Member by facsimile or electronic mail not later
than three days before the day on which such meeting is to be held, or (iii) if delivered
to the Member personally or orally, by telephone or otherwise, not later than two days before the
day on which such meeting is to be held. Notice of any meeting of the Xxxxx Family Committee need
not be given to any Member if waived by the Member in writing, whether before or after the holding
of such meeting, or if such Member is present at such meeting. Any meeting of the Xxxxx Family
Committee shall be a legal meeting without any notice thereof having been given if each Member then
in office either is present at such meeting or has waived notice of such meeting.
6
4.3. At all meetings of the Xxxxx Family Committee, the presence of a majority of the Xxxxx
Family Committee, whether in person or by proxy (granted in accordance with Section 4.4), shall

Member, in each case if such Member is a descendant of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, (b) any Current
Trustee, (c) any other Member or (d) any other person approved by the Xxxxx Family
Committee, acting by Majority Vote (excluding the vote of such Member), to act for him or her

Committee may adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings of the Xxxxx Family
Committee.
4.8. Members may participate in a meeting of the Xxxxx Family Committee by means of conference
telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the
meeting can hear each other, and participation in a meeting pursuant to this provision shall
constitute presence in person at such meeting.
4.9. Notice shall be sent to all Members and Class B Stockholders, to the addresses set forth
in Schedule B (or to such other address as the party entitled to such notice shall
hereafter designate), of any action taken pursuant to a vote of the Xxxxx Family Committee, whether

Section 5. Transfers.
5.1. Power of Transfer. Subject to the provisions of the Xxxxx Children Trusts
Registration Rights Agreement, to the extent applicable, this Agreement and any applicable federal
or state securities laws, each of the Class B Stockholders shall have the right, with respect to
all or a portion of the Shares owned by such Class B Stockholder, either individually or grouped
with other Class B Stockholders to sell, transfer, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose
of, including in connection with the death of such Class B Stockholder (“Transfer”), any
such Shares.
5.2. Transfer Restrictions. Notwithstanding any of the rights set forth in this
Section 5, no Class B Stockholder, other than Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx X. Xxxxx and any trust of
which either of them is a trustee, may Transfer any or all of its Shares other than to a Permitted
Holder unless:
(a) if, as a result of such Transfer, there would be a Change in Control of AMC, such Class B
Stockholder shall have received the Xxxxx Approval, prior to the Transition Time, and, thereafter,
the approval of the Xxxxx Family Committee, acting by Supermajority Vote, for such Transfer;
(b) each share of Class B Common Stock being transferred is first converted into one share of
AMC Class A common stock (“Class A Common Stock”) prior to such Transfer, unless
(i) such Transfer is a pledge or encumbrance of such Shares and complies with Section
5.9(a), or (ii) otherwise agreed by Xxxxx Approval, prior to the Transition Time, and,
thereafter, the approval of the Xxxxx Family Committee, acting by Two-Thirds Majority Vote
(excluding the vote of any Member requesting such Transfer); and
(c) such Class B Stockholder complies with all other applicable provisions of this Section 5.
5.3. Market Sale.
(a) In the event a Class B Stockholder (the “Initial Market Sale Seller”) proposes to
sell any Shares (the “Initial Market Sale Shares”) owned by it in a Market Sale, unless
such sale is an Exempted Sale by such Class B Stockholder, such Initial Market Sale Seller must
first provide notice (the “Market Sale Notice”) to the other Class B Stockholders (the
“Market Sale Offerees”), each of which shall have the right, exercisable within five
Business Days after receipt of the Market Sale Notice, to (i) purchase the Initial Market
Sale Shares owned by the Initial Market Sale Seller for a price per Share equal to 97% of the
average closing price of shares of Class A Common Stock over the four week period prior to the date
of the Market Sale Notice (the “Market Sale Price”), or (ii) participate in the
Market Sale with the Initial Market Sale Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) any
Market Sale that
8
would result in a Change in Control shall require the approval described in Section 5.2(a) and
(y) any Market Sale Shares (as defined below) that are sold in a Market Sale shall first be
converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, and any Market Sale Shares that are sold to a Class
B Stockholder pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall not be converted into shares of Class A Common
Stock.
(b) If any Market Sale Offeree elects to participate in the Market Sale (a “Market Sale
Participant” and, together with the Initial Market Sale Seller, the “Market Sale
Sellers”) as provided in Section 5.3(a)(ii), such Market Sale Offeree shall provide notice (the
“Second Market Sale Notice”) to the other Class B Stockholders (other than the Initial
Market Sale Seller), each of which will have the right, exercisable within five Business Days after
receipt of the Second Market Sale Notice to purchase the Shares to be sold by such Market Sale
Participant in the Market Sale (“Market Sale Tag Along Shares” and, together with the
Initial Market Sale Shares, the “Market Sale Shares”) for the Market Sale Price.
(c) If the Market Sale Offerees have not elected to purchase all the Market Sale Shares within
the applicable election periods, each Market Sale Offeree that elected to purchase Market Sale
Shares shall be provided an additional three Business Days, after the expiration of such election
periods, to elect to purchase the remaining Market Sale Shares. If the offer to sell the Market
Sale Shares in a Market Sale is oversubscribed at the expiration of any election period, such
Market Sale Shares and the Market Sale Price in respect thereof will be allocated on a pro rata
basis among the Market Sale Offerees which have elected to purchase Market Sale Shares so that such
electing Market Sale Offeree will purchase a portion of the Market Sale Shares which bears the same
ratio to the Market Sale Shares as the Shares of each electing Market Sale Offeree bear to the
total number of Shares owned collectively by all such electing Market Sale Offerees, or as may
otherwise be agreed among such electing Market Sale Offerees, provided that no Market Sale Offeree
that elects to purchase Market Sale Shares will be required to purchase more Market Sale Shares
than the amount set forth in its election.
(d) If the Market Sale Offerees have elected to purchase less than all of the Market Sale
Shares, the Market Sale Shares to be sold to the Market Sale Offerees shall be apportioned as set
forth in this Section 5.3(d). Each Market Sale Offeree shall purchase from each Market Sale Seller
a number of Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Shares such Market Sale
Offeree has elected to purchase and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the
number of Market Sale Shares that such Market Sale Seller offered for sale by (y) the total
number of Market Sale Shares that all of the Market Sale Sellers offered for sale, rounded down to
the nearest whole number, or as may otherwise be agreed among such Market Sale Offerees and the
sellers.
(e) In the event the number of Aggregated Market Sale Shares that Market Sale Offerees have
not elected to purchase pursuant to this Section 5.3 exceeds the Rule 144 Threshold on the
expiration date of the election periods under Section 5.3(c), the number of
9
Shares to be sold by the holders of such Aggregated Market Sale Shares shall be reduced so
that each such holder is entitled to sell in the Market Sale a number of Shares equal to the
product of (i) the Rule 144 Threshold and (ii) the fraction determined by dividing
(x) the total number of Aggregated Market Sale Shares owned by such holder as of such date
by (y) the total number of Aggregated Market Sale Shares, or as may otherwise be agreed
among such Market Sale Offerees.
(f) Subject to Section 5.3(g) and Section 5.3(h), the closing of the sale to the Market Sale
Offerees pursuant to a Market Sale will be held as soon as practicable after the expiration of all
of the applicable election periods under Section 5.3(c), and, in any event, no later than
(i) 30 days after such expiration, if the value of such Market Sale Shares is less than
$100 million, and (ii) 60 days after such expiration, if the value of such Market Shares is
more than $100 million (the “Market Sale Scheduled Closing Date”). Contemporaneously with
such closing, each Market Sale Seller will deliver a certificate or certificates representing the
Market Sale Shares, properly endorsed for transfer and with all necessary transfer or documentary
stamps, if any, affixed or if the Market Sale Shares are not certificated, the Market Sale Seller
will cause such Shares to be transferred by book-entry transfer or other similar means, and in each
case free and clear of all liens, restrictions or encumbrances against receipt from each purchasing
Market Sale Offeree of the Market Sale Price or allocable portion thereof in cash or by certified
or bank cashier’s check or wire or interbank transfer of funds.
(g) The obligation of a Market Sale Seller and a purchasing Market Sale Offeree to proceed
with the closing on the Market Sale Scheduled Closing Date and the obligation to consummate a sale
prior to the Market Sale Expiration Date will be conditioned upon and the Market Sale Scheduled
Closing Date or the Market Sale Expiration Date, as applicable, will be extended to a date which is
five Business Days following the last to occur of (i) the expiration (or earlier
termination) of any applicable waiting period and, if extended, the extended waiting period under
the HSR Act, and (ii) the receipt of all governmental and regulatory consents, approvals or
waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Market Sale Shares.
Each Market Sale Seller and the purchasing Market Sale Offerees will use all reasonable efforts to
cooperate with each other or with a third party to promptly make all filings, give all notices and
secure all consents, approvals and waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and
sale of the Market Shares.
(h) Each Market Sale Seller will have the right (subject to Section 5.3(e)) beginning with the
expiration of the last election period under Section 5.3(c) and continuing until 90 days thereafter
or, if later, the last date for the closing of such purchase under Section 5.3(f) or Section 5.3(g)
(such later date being the “Market Sale Expiration Date”), as applicable, to sell all
Market Sale Shares that the Market Sale Offerees do not elect to purchase in a Market Sale. If
such Market Sale Shares are not sold prior to the Market Sale Expiration Date, all rights to sell
such Market Sale Shares pursuant to such Market Sale,
10
without making another offer to the Market Sale Offerees pursuant to this Section 5.3, will
terminate and the provisions of this Section 5.3 will continue to apply to any proposed Market Sale
(other than an Exempted Sale) in the future.
5.4. Right of First Refusal.
(a) Prior to any proposed sale of Shares otherwise permitted pursuant to this Section 5, other
than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, the Class B Stockholder proposing to sell such
Shares (the “ROFR Transferor”) shall obtain a bona fide, non-collusive, binding
arm’s-length written offer, subject only to customary conditions, with respect to the proposed sale
(a “Third Party Offer”) from a third party that is not an affiliate of such ROFR Transferor
(the “Third Party”), which the ROFR Transferor desires to accept. The Third Party Offer
shall not be subject to unstated conditions or contingencies or be part of a larger transaction
such that the price for the Shares proposed to be transferred in the Third Party Offer (the
“Offered Shares”) does not accurately reflect the Fair Market Value of such Offered Shares,
and the Third Party Offer shall contain a description of all of the consideration, material terms
and conditions for the proposed sale. The ROFR Transferor shall send a copy of the Third Party
Offer, which shall include the identity of the Third Party, to each of the Class B Stockholders
(the “Offerees”), together with a written offer to sell the Offered Shares to the Offerees
on the same terms and conditions, including the Third Party Price, as the Third Party Offer. For
the avoidance of doubt, any Shares to be transferred to a Third Party pursuant to a Third Party
Offer shall first be converted into shares of Class A Common Stock, and any Shares transferred to
any Class B Stockholder upon the exercise of its rights in this Section 5.4 shall not be converted
to shares of Class A Common Stock.
(b) Each Offeree will have 10 Business Days from the receipt of such written offer from the
ROFR Transferor to give written notice to the ROFR Transferor of its, his or her respective
election to purchase the Offered Shares. The ROFR Transferor will notify each Offeree as to the
number of Offered Shares that other Class B Stockholders did not elect to purchase pursuant to this
Section 5 within two Business Days following such election (the “Offeree Notice”).
(c) If the Offerees have not elected to purchase all the Offered Shares within the applicable
election period, each Offeree that has so elected to purchase Offered Shares shall be provided an
additional three Business Days from the expiration of such election period to elect to purchase the
remaining Offered Shares. If the offer to sell the Offered Shares is oversubscribed at the
expiration of any election period, such Offered Shares and the Third Party Price in respect thereof
will be allocated on a pro rata basis among the Offerees which have elected to purchase Offered
Shares so that each such electing Offeree will receive a portion of the Offered Shares which bears
the same ratio to the Offered Shares as the Shares of such electing Offeree bear to the total
number of Shares owned collectively by all such electing Offerees, or as may otherwise be agreed
among such electing
11
Offerees, provided that no Offeree that elects to purchase Offered Shares will be required to
purchase more Offered Shares than the amount set forth in its election.
(d) Subject to Section 5.4(e) and Section 5.4(f), the closing of the sale to the Offerees
pursuant to an Offering will be held as soon as practicable after the expiration of all of the
election periods under Section 5.4(c), and, in any event, no later than (i) 30 days after
such expiration, if the value of such Offered Shares is less than $100 million, and (ii) 60
days after such expiration, if the value of such Offered Shares is more than $100 million (the
“Scheduled Closing Date”). Contemporaneously with such closing, the ROFR Transferor will
deliver a certificate or certificates representing the Offered Shares, properly endorsed for
transfer and with all necessary transfer or documentary stamps, if any, affixed, or if the Offered
Shares are not certificated, the ROFR Transferor will cause such Shares to be transferred by
book-entry transfer or other similar means, in each case, free and clear of all liens, restrictions
or encumbrances against receipt from each purchasing Offeree of the Third Party Price or allocable
portion thereof in cash or by certified or bank cashier’s check or wire or interbank transfer of
funds.
(e) The obligation of a ROFR Transferor and a purchasing Offeree to proceed with the closing
on the Scheduled Closing Date and the obligation of a ROFR Transferor and a Third Party to
consummate a sale prior to the Expiration Date will be conditioned upon and the Scheduled Closing
Date or the Expiration Date, as applicable, will be extended to a date which is five Business Days
following the last to occur of (i) the expiration (or earlier termination) of any
applicable waiting period and, if extended, the extended waiting period under the HSR Act, and
(ii) the receipt of all governmental and regulatory consents, approvals or waivers that may
be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares. The ROFR Transferor
and the purchasing Offerees will use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other or with a
third party to promptly make all filings, give all notices and secure all consents, approvals and
waivers that may be required in connection with the purchase and sale of the Offered Shares.
(f) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 5.4(a) through (e), elections to purchase made
by the Offerees will not be binding on the ROFR Transferor if (x) the Offerees have not
elected, as provided in Section 5.4(c), to purchase all of the Offered Shares or (y) the
Offerees have not closed on the purchase of all the Offered Shares by the Scheduled Closing Date
(as such Scheduled Closing Date may be extended pursuant to Section 5.4(e)) in accordance with the
terms hereof. In such event, no sales pursuant to such elections will be required to be made by
the ROFR Transferor and the ROFR Transferor will have the right for a period of 120 days after the
expiration of the last election period in Section 5.4(c) or, if later, the last date for the
closing of such purchase under Section 5.4(d) or Section 5.4(e) (such later date being the
“Expiration Date”), as appropriate, to sell all but not less than all of the Offered
Shares, but only to the Third Party for a price (including any non-cash consideration in the Third
Party Offer) and on terms no more favorable to the Third Party than the Third Party Price and the
terms of the Third Party Offer. If such Offered
12
Shares are not sold prior to the Expiration Date, all rights to sell such Offered Shares
pursuant to such Third Party Offer, without making another offer to the Offerees pursuant to this
Section 5.4, will terminate and the provisions of this Section 5.4 will continue to apply to any
proposed transfer in the future.
5.5. Tag-Along Rights.
(a) Subject to Section 5.4, if one or more Class B Stockholders (the “Transferring
Stockholders”) desire to sell any or all of their Shares, other than to a Permitted Holder or
in a Market Sale, and such sale would result in a Change of Control (and has been approved as
provided in Section 5.2(a)), each Class B Stockholder shall have the right to participate on the
same terms and conditions and for the same per share consideration as the Transferring Stockholders
in the sale in the manner set forth in this Section 5.5. If Class B Stockholders do not elect to
purchase such Shares pursuant to Section 5.4, the Transferring Stockholders shall, prior to such
sale, deliver to the other Class B Stockholders prompt written notice (the “Transfer
Notice”), which notice shall state (i) the name of the proposed transferee,
(ii) the number of Shares proposed to be transferred (the “Transferred Shares”) and
the percentage (the “Tag Percentage”) that such number of Shares constitutes of the total
number of Shares owned by such Transferring Stockholders, (iii) the proposed purchase price
therefore, including a description of any non-cash consideration sufficiently detailed to permit
the determination of the Fair Market Value thereof, and (iv) the other material terms and
conditions of the proposed sale, including the proposed sale date (which date may not be less than
30 days after delivery of the Transfer Notice). Such notice shall be accompanied by a written
offer from the proposed transferee to purchase the Transferred Shares, which offer may be
conditioned upon the consummation of the sale by the Transferring Stockholders, or the most recent
drafts of the purchase and sale documentation between the Transferring Stockholders and the
transferee which shall make provision for the participation of the other Class B Stockholders in
such sale consistent with this Section 5.5.
(b) Each Class B Stockholder may elect to participate in the proposed sale to the proposed
transferee identified in the Transfer Notice by giving written notice to the Transferring
Stockholders within the 10 Business Day period after the delivery of the Transfer Notice (any Class
B Stockholder that so elects, a “Tag-Along Participant”), which notice shall state that
such Tag-Along Participant elects to exercise its rights of tag-along under this Section 5.5 and
shall state the maximum number of Shares sought to be transferred (which number may not exceed the
product of (i) all such Shares owned by such Tag-Along Participant, multiplied by
(ii) the Tag Percentage). Each Class B Stockholder shall be deemed to have waived its
right of tag-along with respect to the Transferred Shares hereunder if it fails to give notice
within the prescribed time period. The proposed transferee of Transferred Shares will not be
obligated to purchase a number of Shares exceeding that set forth in the Transfer Notice, and in
the event such transferee elects to purchase less than all of the additional Shares sought to be
transferred by the Tag-Along Participants, the number of Shares to be transferred by the
Transferring Stockholders and each such Tag-Along
13
Participant shall be reduced so that each such Class B Stockholder is entitled to sell its Pro
Rata Portion of the number of Shares the proposed transferee elects to purchase (which in no event
may be less than the number of Transferred Shares set forth in the Transfer Notice). For purposes
of this Section 5.5, on the applicable sale date, “Pro Rata Portion” means, with respect to
any Class B Stockholder, the number of Shares equal to the product of (x) the total number
Shares that the proposed transferee elects to purchase and (y) the quotient determined by
dividing (A) the total number of Shares owned by such Class B Stockholder as of such date
by (B) the number of such Shares owned in the aggregate by the Transferring Stockholders
and all Tag-Along Participants as of such date.
(c) Each Tag-Along Participant shall receive consideration in the same form and per Share
amount after deduction of such Tag-Along Participant’s proportionate share of the related expenses.
Each Tag-Along Participant shall agree to make or agree to the same customary representations,
covenants, indemnities and agreements as the Transferring Stockholders so long as they are made
severally and not jointly and, among any Persons liable for a particular liability, such liability
is borne by such Persons on a pro rata basis based the consideration contemplated by the related
definitive agreement(s) to be received by such Person (with respect to each Class B Stockholder
participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5, the “Anticipated Proceeds”);
provided that (i) any general indemnity given by the Transferring Stockholders or
Tag-Along Participants for liabilities not specific to one or more of them shall be apportioned
among them in accordance with their respective Anticipated Proceeds and with respect to each
Tag-Along Participant shall not exceed such Tag-Along Participant’s Anticipated Proceeds, and
(ii) any representation relating specifically to a Class B Stockholder participating in a
sale pursuant to this Section 5.5 and/or its ownership of Shares to be transferred shall be made
only by that Class B Stockholder.
(d) The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 5.5 and for
the benefit of all Class B Stockholders participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5 (it
being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of a Class B Stockholder for his, her or its
sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit of all Class B Stockholders), to the
extent not paid or reimbursed by the transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the
Class B Stockholders participating in a sale pursuant to this Section 5.5 on a pro rata basis,
based on each such Class B Stockholder’s Anticipated Proceeds. The proposed sale date may be
extended beyond the date described in the Transfer Notice to the extent necessary to obtain
required approvals of any Governmental Body and other required approvals.
(e) Each Tag-Along Participant shall deliver to the transferee at the closing of the sale of
the Transferred Shares to the transferee such Transferred Shares by book-entry transfer or other
similar means, if such Transferred Shares are not certificated, or, if such Transferred Shares are
certificated, certificates representing the Transferred Shares to be transferred by such Tag-Along
Participant, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by
14
stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable
purchaser against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.
(f) If the Transferring Stockholders sell or otherwise Transfer to the transferee any of their
Shares in breach of this Section 5.5, then each other Class B Stockholder shall have the right to
sell to the Transferring Stockholders, and the Transferring Stockholders undertake to purchase from
each other Class B Stockholder, the number of Shares that such Class B Stockholder would have had
the right to sell to the transferee pursuant to this Section 5.5, for a per Share amount and form
of consideration and upon the terms and conditions on which the transferee bought such Shares from
the Transferring Stockholders, but without any indemnity being granted by any other Class B
Stockholder to the Transferring Stockholders; provided that nothing contained in this
Section 5.5(f) shall preclude any Class B Stockholder from seeking alternative remedies against any
of the Transferring Stockholders as a result of its breach of this Section 5.5.
5.6. Drag-Along Rights.
(a) Subject to Section 5.4, if one or more Class B Stockholders (the “Drag-Along
Sellers”) propose to sell, other than to a Permitted Holder or in a Market Sale, all of their
Shares, and such sale would result in a Change of Control (and has been approved as provided in
Section 5.2(a)), then, if requested by the Drag-Along Sellers, each other Class B Stockholder
(each, a “Selling Stockholder”) shall be required to sell all of the Shares held by it in
such transaction (the “Drag Transaction”).
(b) The Drag-Along Sellers shall provide written notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to
each Selling Stockholder of any proposed Drag Transaction as soon as practicable following their
compliance with Sections 5.2(a) and 5.4 and their exercise of the rights provided in Section
5.6(a). The Drag Along Notice shall set forth the consideration to be paid by the purchaser for
the Shares, the identity of the purchaser and the material terms of the Drag Transaction.
(c) The consideration to be received by a Selling Stockholder shall be the same form and
amount of consideration per Share to be received by the Drag-Along Sellers, and, subject to Section
5.6(d), the terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Drag-Along
Sellers sell their Shares.
(d) In connection with the Drag Transaction, each Selling Stockholder will agree to make or
agree to the same customary representations, covenants, indemnities and agreements as the
Drag-Along Sellers so long as they are made severally and not jointly and, among any Persons liable
for a particular liability, such liability is borne by such Persons on a pro rata basis based on
the consideration received by each such Person; provided that (i) any general
indemnity given by the Drag-Along Sellers or Selling Stockholders not
15
specific to any of them shall be shared by each of the Drag-Along Sellers and Selling Stockholders, in
the case of the Selling Stockholders on a several basis according to the consideration received by
such Selling Stockholder and not in excess of such Selling Stockholder’s net proceeds from the
sale, (ii) any representation relating specifically to a Selling Stockholder and/or its
Shares shall be made only by that Selling Stockholder, and (iii) in no event shall any
Class B Stockholder be obligated to agree to any non-competition covenant or other similar
agreement as a condition of participating in such sale.
(e) The fees and expenses incurred in connection with a sale under this Section 5.6 and for
the benefit of all Class B Stockholders (it being understood that costs incurred by or on behalf of
a Class B Stockholder for his, her or its sole benefit will not be considered to be for the benefit
of all Class B Stockholders), to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the transferee or acquiring
Person, shall be borne by the Drag-Along Sellers, unless the closing of such sale occurs, in which
case they shall be shared by all the Class B Stockholders on a pro rata basis, based on the
consideration received by each Class B Stockholder in respect of its Shares.
(f) Each Selling Stockholder shall deliver to the applicable transferee, upon the consummation
of the Drag Transaction, the Shares to be transferred by such Selling Stockholder by book-entry
transfer or other similar means, if such Shares are not certificated, or, if such Shares are
certificated, certificates representing such Shares duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by
stock powers duly executed, in either case executed in blank or in favor of the applicable
transferee against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately
available funds.
