In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Lock-Up Agreement shall apply to, and the defined term “Undersigned’s Shares” shall not include: (1) if the undersigned is a multi-managed investment vehicle whereby separate portfolio managers or desks manage separate portions of the undersigned’s assets, any Parent Common Stock or such other securities held or acquired by the undersigned for which any portfolio manager or desk (other than the Investing Portfolio Manager (as defined below)) made the investment decision to acquire such securities or (2) any Parent Common Stock or such other securities which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned but which shares are held or acquired by another entity with a principal line of business of passive market making transactions in publicly traded securities. As used herein, the “Investing Portfolio Manager” means the undersigned’s portfolio manager or desk that made the investment decision to invest in the Company.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the undersigned may establish a trading or distribution plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act; provided that (i) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the undersigned or Parent regarding the establishment of such disposition plan(s), such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of the Undersigned’s Shares may be made under such disposition plan during the Restricted Period and (ii) no transfer pursuant to such plan is made during the Restricted Period.
In the event that a release or waiver is granted by Xxxxxx (as constituted following the Closing) to any officer, director or any other stockholder who is a party to a similar lock-up agreement entered into in connection with the Transactions (other than the undersigned) relating to the lock-up restrictions contained in such other lock-up agreement (each, a “Release” and, collectively, “Releases”), the same percentage of the Undersigned’s Shares shall be automatically, immediately, fully and irrevocably released and waived in the same manner, at the same time and on the same terms as such Release from any remaining restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement on a pro rata basis (the “Pro-Rata Release”) and Parent will promptly (and in any event within two business days prior to the effective date of any such Release and Pro-Rata Release) notify the undersigned in writing of the terms and effective date of such Pro-Rata Release (including, without limitation, the percentage of the Undersigned’s Shares to be released in connection with such Pro-Rata Release).
3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Pro-Rata Release shall not be applied (i) to the extent that the aggregate holding percentage of the securities subject to any such Release or Releases is less than or equal to one percent in the aggregate of the Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately following the Closing (calculated on a fully-diluted basis), (ii) if the Release is effected solely to permit a transfer not involving a disposition for value and the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the same terms described in this Lock-Up Agreement to the extent and for the duration of the Restricted Period, or (iii) to the extent the Release is granted to a natural person and determined, in the sole discretion of Parent, to be due to circumstances of emergency or hardship of such natural person.
Any attempted transfer in violation of this Lock-Up Agreement will be of no effect and null and void, regardless of whether the purported transferee has any actual or constructive knowledge of the transfer restrictions set forth in this Lock-Up Agreement, and will not be recorded on the share register of Parent. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned agrees that Parent and any duly appointed transfer agent for the registration or transfer of the securities described herein are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Lock-Up Agreement. Parent may cause the legend set forth below, or a legend substantially equivalent thereto, to be placed upon any certificate(s) or other documents, ledgers or instruments evidencing the undersigned’s ownership of the Undersigned’s Shares, other than PIPE Shares and Unrestricted Shares:
THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO AND MAY ONLY BE TRANSFERRED IN COMPLIANCE WITH A LOCK-UP AGREEMENT, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE PRINCIPAL OFFICE OF THE COMPANY.
If a stockholder and/or an officer and/or director of the Company or Parent enters into a lock-up agreement with respect to securities of the Company or Parent with any terms that are more favorable, from the perspective of the undersigned, than the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, then Parent shall promptly provide equivalent rights and terms to the undersigned.
The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives of the undersigned.
The undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement upon the earlier to occur of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement for any reason and (ii) the End Date (as defined in and as it may be extended in accordance with the Merger Agreement). The undersigned understands that Parent and the Company are proceeding with the Transactions in reliance upon this Lock-Up Agreement.
Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon Parent or the Company will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by Law or equity, and the exercise by Parent or the Company of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy. The undersigned agrees that irreparable damage would occur to Parent and/or the Company in the event that any provision of this Lock-Up Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that Parent and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Lock-Up Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state having jurisdiction, this being in addition to any other remedy to which Parent or the Company is entitled at Law or in equity, and the undersigned waives any bond, surety or other security that might be required of Parent or the Company with respect thereto.
Upon the release of any of the Undersigned’s Shares from this Lock-Up Agreement, Parent will facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or the establishment of book-entry positions at Parent’s transfer agent representing the Undersigned’s Shares without the restrictive legend above or the withdrawal of any stop transfer instructions.
