(k) If the SL/PG Shareholders and/or the Managers effect a Transfer of a proportion of their Company Securities in a privately negotiated (off-market) transaction (other than, in the case of the SL/PG Shareholders, to a member of their Group) during the period in which no Transfer by the Far Point Shareholder or any Third Point Shareholder is permitted pursuant to Section 3.2(j)(A), they shall provide prior written notice to the Far Point Shareholder and the Third Point Shareholders, who will in such circumstances each have the right (but not obligation) to effect a Transfer of a proportion of their Company Securities (on a pro-rata basis based on the relative number of Voting Shares held by each of them), as part of such sale, on the same terms as the SL/PG Shareholders and/or the Managers. If the Far Point Shareholder and/or the Third Point Shareholders effect a Transfer of a proportion of their Company Securities in a privately negotiated (off-market) transaction (other than to a member of their respective Groups) during the period in which no Transfer by the Far Point Shareholder or any Third Point Shareholder is permitted is permitted pursuant to Section 3.2(j)(A), they shall provide prior written notice to the SL/PG Shareholders, who will in such circumstances each have the right (but not obligation), and (to the same extent as the SL/PG Shareholders exercise such right) the Managers will have the right (but not obligation), to effect a Transfer of the same proportion of their Company Securities (on a pro-rata basis based on the relative number of Voting Shares held by each of them), as part of such sale, on the same terms as the Far Point Shareholder and/or the Third Point Shareholders.
Section 3.3 Lock-up Exemptions. Notwithstanding Section 3.2, a Shareholder may, without the prior written consent of any other party, effect a Transfer: (i) by way of acceptance of a public takeover offer, tender offer, merger, consolidation or similar business combination with a third party in respect of a change of Control that results in all holders of Common Shares having the right to exchange their Common Shares for cash, securities or other property and is recommended by the Board, (ii) if required by law or a Governmental Authority, (iii) in the case of an Institutional Shareholder, to a member of such Institutional Shareholder’s Group, subject to compliance with Section 4.1, and (iv) in the case of a Manager only, in accordance with clauses 5.3.3 or 5.3.4 and 5.6 of the Management Shareholders Agreement and any Deed of Adherence (as defined therein).
12
Section 3.4 Eligible Investor Exemption. Notwithstanding Section 3.2, the SL Shareholder may determine and require, without the prior written consent of any other party, that the SL/PG Shareholders and (if applicable pursuant to the terms of the Management Shareholders Agreement) the Managers effect a one-time Transfer of certain of their Company Securities up to an aggregate amount of 5% of the Company Securities in issue at the time of such Transfer (in proportions among the SL/PG Shareholders and the Managers determined in accordance with the Management Shareholders Agreement) to the Eligible Investor during the Restricted Period, and the Far Point Shareholder and the Third Point Shareholders may participate in such sale (on a pro-rata basis based on the collective ownership of Company Securities then held by the SL/PG Shareholders, the Far Point Shareholder and the Third Point Shareholders) and at a price no less favorable (on a pro-rata basis) than that received by the SL Shareholder, and thereby effect a Transfer of certain of each of its Company Securities in issue from time to time.
Section 3.5 Lock-up Early Termination. The SL Shareholder and the Far Point Shareholder may, upon mutual written agreement (and without the consent of any other Shareholder), reduce the duration of, and/or terminate, the time period restrictions during which Transfers are prohibited pursuant to Section 3.2 (excluding Section 3.2(b)(i) and Section 3.2(d)(i)), provided that such reduction and/or termination will (to the extent applicable) apply to all Shareholders.
Section 3.6 Acquisition of Additional Company Securities. After the date hereof, each of the SL/PG Shareholders, the Far Point Shareholder, the Third Point Shareholders and each Manager agrees that, for so long as any such party has obligations under Article II or Section 3.2, if such party acquires beneficial ownership (as defined in Rule 13d-3 and Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act) of additional Company Securities, such party shall promptly (and in no event later than two (2) business days following the date of such acquisition) notify the other Shareholders, as the case may be.
ARTICLE IV
GENERAL
Section 4.1 Accession and Assignment and Transfer Limitations.
(a) The rights and obligations hereunder shall otherwise not be assignable without the prior written consent of the Institutional Shareholders; provided, however, (a) any Institutional Shareholder at any time may Transfer any Company Securities to any member of its Group and (b) any Shareholder at any time may assign any part or all of its rights and benefits under this Agreement to any member of its Group (and to any such assignment by that member of such Group to any other member of such Group), in each case subject to such assignee executing a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A, and will thereafter be deemed to be a “Shareholder” and be subject to this Agreement as if the assignee was the relevant assigning Shareholder. Each Institutional Shareholder that Transfers Company Securities to a member of its Group that is not a party to this Agreement shall procure that the transferee executes a Joinder Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A. The preceding sentences of this Section 4.1 shall not apply to a transfer of Common Shares (a) in a public offering that is registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (b) a transfer to one or more
13
broker-dealers or their affiliates pursuant to a firm commitment purchase agreement for an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, (c) a transfer made through the facilities of a registered securities exchange or automated inter-dealer quotation system and (d) a transfer made in compliance with the manner of sale limitations of Rule 144(f) under the Securities Act or any successor rule or provision. For the avoidance of doubt, any lien or encumbrance with respect to Company Securities imposed in the ordinary course of Third Point’s business as part of portfolio management activities shall be permitted and shall not be deemed to violate the restrictions contained in this Agreement.
(b) During the Restricted Period, if any SL/PG Shareholder effects a Transfer of any of its Company Securities to a member of its Group, then such SL/PG Shareholder shall comply with its obligations in Section 14(p) of Third Point PIPE Agreement.
Section 4.2 Term and Effectiveness.
(a) This Agreement is conditional upon Closing occurring in accordance with the Merger Agreement and shall become effective upon Closing and shall thereafter continue to be effective until terminated in accordance with this Section. In the event that the Merger Agreement is terminated without Closing occurring, this Agreement shall cease and be of no further effect.
(b) This Agreement shall terminate with immediate effect upon the earlier of:
(i) any Person acquiring or obtaining Control of the Company;
(ii) with respect to each Shareholder, its Group ceasing to own or control, directly or indirectly, any Company Securities in issue; and
(iii) upon mutual written consent of the parties.
(c) Each Shareholder may terminate this Agreement (with respect to itself only) with immediate effect by written notice to the Company on or at any time after:
(i) the Company passes a resolution for its winding up or a court of competent jurisdiction makes an order for the Company’s winding up or dissolution;
(ii) the commencement of any legal proceedings in relation to bankruptcy or other types of insolvency-related reorganization proceedings of the Company, unless such proceedings are frivolous or vexatious and are discharged, stayed or dismissed within 60 calendar days of commencement; or
(iii) the Company makes an arrangement or composition with its creditors generally or makes an application to a court of competent jurisdiction for protection from its creditors generally.
(d) The rights and obligations set forth in Section 3.2 shall terminate as set forth in such section.
14
(e) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Article IV shall survive any termination of any provisions of this Agreement.
(f) The termination of any provision of this Agreement shall not relieve any party from any liability for the breach of its obligations under this Agreement prior to such termination.
Section 4.3 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon a determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 4.4 Entire Agreement; Amendment.
(a) This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Subject to Section 3.5, this Agreement or any provision thereof may only be amended or modified, in whole or in part, at any time by an instrument in writing signed by the Institutional Shareholders (and, if the amendment or modification would have a material and disproportionate adverse effect on the Managers, then such instrument in writing shall be signed by the Management Representative as well).
(b) No waiver of any breach of any of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party (which, in the case of any Manager, may be executed and delivered by the Management Representative) against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder, or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
(c) No waiver of a right under this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is expressly made in writing and executed and delivered by the party against whom such waiver is claimed. The waiver of a right under this Agreement in a specified instance or in specified circumstances shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of such right in other instances or circumstances.
15
Section 4.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
Section 4.6 Governing Law. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of Delaware, without giving effect to principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of Laws of another jurisdiction.
Section 4.7 Jurisdiction; Waiver of Trial by Jury. Any Action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court declines to exercise jurisdiction, any federal or state court located in New Castle County, Delaware, and each of the parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any such Action, waives any objection it may now or hereafter have to personal jurisdiction, venue or to convenience of forum, agrees that all claims in respect of the Action shall be heard and determined only in any such court, and agrees not to bring any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any other court. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to affect the right of any party to serve process in any manner permitted by Law, or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any other party in any other jurisdiction, in each case, to enforce judgments obtained in any Action brought pursuant to this Section 4.7. Each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any action based upon, arising out of or related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 4.8 Confidential Information.
Each Shareholder shall ensure that any Confidential Information it receives will be treated strictly confidentially and only be disclosed:
(a) to the extent necessary to any member of its Group, and any member of its Group’s respective directors, officers and employees, auditors, professional advisors and other representatives, on terms that such recipient shall only use such Confidential Information in connection with that Person’s legitimate interests as a shareholder or representative or advisor of a shareholder of the Company;
(b) if requested or required by applicable Law or by a competent court;
(c) if requested or required by any competent securities exchange or competent regulatory or governmental body or other authority with relevant powers to which the disclosing Person is subject or submits;
(d) if necessary to enforce this Agreement in court proceedings; or
(e) if the Shareholder to whom the Confidential Information relates has given its written consent to disclosure.
16
Section 4.9 Specific Enforcement.
