Each Stockholder further agrees that this Agreement and the Stockholder's obligations hereunder shall attach to the Stockholder's Owned Shares and shall be binding upon any person or entity to which legal or beneficial ownership of such Owned Shares may pass, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including without limitation the Stockholder's heirs, guardians, administrators or successors. Each Stockholder further covenants and agrees not to request that FCN register the transfer (book-entry or otherwise) of any certificate or uncertificated interest representing any of the Stockholder's Owned Shares, unless such transfer is made in compliance with this Agreement and acknowledges that DG may notify FCN's transfer agent of the terms hereof.
6. Specific Performance. Each Stockholder agrees that irreparable damage to DG would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed by the Stockholder in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that DG shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the Stockholder 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 it is entitled at law or in equity.
7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to constitute an original. This Agreement shall not be effective as to any party hereto until such time as this Agreement or a counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto (which delivery may be by facsimile).
8. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise or beginning of the exercise of any thereof by any party hereto shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power or remedy by such party.
9. No Waiver. The failure of DG to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by a Stockholder with the Stockholder's obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by DG of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
10. Stockholder Capacity. Each Stockholder that is an officer or director of FCN is executing this Agreement solely in the Stockholder's capacity as beneficial owner of the Owned Shares and not in the Stockholder's fiduciary capacity as a director or officer of FCN. Nothing herein shall prohibit,
4
prevent or preclude any such Stockholder from taking or not taking any action in the Stockholder's capacity as an officer or director of FCN.
11. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement other than as a result of the consummation of the Merger and (ii) the Closing Date. Nothing in this Section 11 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any party for breach of this Agreement prior to termination.
12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.
13. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to DG. Upon such a determination, 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 an acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
14. Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided that no Stockholder may assign, delegate or otherwise transfer any of his rights or obligations under this Agreement without consent.
15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter.
16. Amendments. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, altered or supplemented except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.
