Exhibit 10.2
This Rollover Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of April 11, 2013, by and among LeCaron Enterprises Corp., a Delaware corporation ("Family Corp."), and the shareholders (“Family Shareholders”) of MOD-PAC CORP., a New York corporation (“Mod-Pac”), listed on Annex A attached hereto.
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Xxxxxxx Capital LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Family Corp. (“Parent”), Mandan Acquisition Corp., a New York corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and Mod-Pac are entering into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Mod-Pac, with Mod-Pac surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”);
WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Family Shareholder is the beneficial owner of, and has the right to vote and dispose of, (i) that number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Mod-Pac (“Mod-Pac Common Stock”) set forth opposite such Family Shareholder’s name on Annex B hereto (such shares, together with any shares of Mod-Pac Common Stock that such Family Shareholder may acquire after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement), the “Owned Mod-Pac Common Shares”), and (ii) that number of shares of Class B Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Mod-Pac (“Mod-Pac Class B Stock”), set forth opposite such Family Shareholder’s name on Annex B hereto (such shares, together with any shares of Mod-Pac Class B Stock that such Family Shareholder may acquire after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time, the “Owned Mod-Pac Class B Shares”); and
WHEREAS, each Family Shareholder and Family Corp. desire that, subject to the conditions set forth herein, immediately prior to the Effective Time, such Family Shareholder shall convert all of its Owned Mod-Pac Class B Shares into shares of Mod-Pac Common Stock on a one-for-one-basis and then contribute all of its Owned Mod-Pac Common Shares (including all of the shares of Mod-Pac Common Stock into which its Owned Mod-Pac Class B Shares shall have so converted) to the capital of Family Corp. in exchange for newly issued shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Family Corp. ("Class A Common Stock") and newly issued shares of Class B Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Family Corp. ("Class B Common Stock").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Rollover Transactions. Upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Rollover Closing, (i) each Family Shareholder shall convert all of its Owned Mod-Pac Class B Shares into shares of Mod-Pac Common Stock on a one-for-one basis in accordance with Mod-Pac's certificate of incorporation, and then contribute, assign, transfer, convey and deliver all of such Family Shareholder’s Owned Mod-Pac Common Shares (including all of the shares of Mod-Pac Common Stock into which such Family Shareholder's Owned Mod-Pac Class B Shares shall have so converted) (the "Rollover Shares") to Family Corp., and in exchange for such Rollover Shares, Family Corp. shall issue and deliver to such Family Shareholder (x) that number of shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Family Corp. Class A Shares") equal to the number of such Family Shareholder's Owned Mod-Pac Common Shares (determined immediately before giving effect to the share conversion referred to above) and (y) that number of shares of Class B Common Stock (the "Family Corp. Class B Shares") equal to the number of such Family Shareholder's Owned Mod-Pac Class B Shares (determined immediately before giving effect to the share conversion referred to above); and (ii) any and all outstanding shares of Common Stock of Family Corp., if any, previously issued shall cease to be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist. The transactions referred to in the prior sentence are referred to herein collectively as the "Rollover Transactions".
2. Closing.
(a) The closing of the Rollover Transactions pursuant to Section 1 (the “Rollover Closing”) will take place, subject to Section 4, take place, immediately prior to the Effective Time, at the offices of Xxxxxxx Xxxx LLP at the Guaranty Building, 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000 or otherwise, if agreed by all of the parties hereto.
(b) At the Rollover Closing, (i) each Family Shareholder will deliver (x) in the case of such Family Shareholder's Rollover Shares held in "street name" (if any), ownership of such Rollover Shares to a brokerage account established in the name of Family Corp. in accordance with customary practices for the transfer of shares held in such manner, and (y) in the case of the remainder of such Family Shareholder's Rollover Shares, to Family Corp. the original stock certificates issued by Mod-Pac representing all of such remaining Rollover Shares, duly endorsed by such Family Shareholder in blank (or accompanied by stock powers duly executed by such Family Shareholder in blank form), against (ii) delivery by Family Corp. to such Family Shareholder of original stock certificates issued by Family Corp. representing all of the Family Corp. Class A Shares and Family Corp. Class B Shares (collectively, "Family Corp. Shares") to be issued to such Family Shareholder pursuant to Section 1.
3. Representations and Warranties of the Family Shareholders. Each Family Shareholder, severally as to itself, represents and warrants to Family Corp. as follows:
(a) Binding Agreement. Such Family Shareholder has the legal capacity to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and (i) in the case of each Family Shareholder which is an individual, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Family Shareholder and the consummation by such Family Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby do not require any consent from such Family Shareholder’s spouse or any other person that has not already been obtained, (ii) if such Family Shareholder is the Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx Descendants Trust, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxx is such Family Shareholder's trustee and investment manager and has the requisite authority, on behalf of such Family Shareholder, to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and (iii) if such Family Shareholder is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as a trustee or custodian, such Family Shareholder has the requisite authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby in such capacity. Such Family Shareholder has duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Family Shareholder, enforceable against such Family Shareholder in accordance with its terms.
2
(b) No Conflict. Neither the execution, delivery and performance by such Family Shareholder of this Agreement, nor the consummation by such Family Shareholder of the transactions contemplated hereby, will (i) if such Family Shareholder is not an individual, violate any provision of its organizational documents, (ii) result in a violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, or acceleration) under any contract, agreement, instrument, commitment, arrangement or understanding to which such Family Shareholder is a party (including, if such Family Shareholder is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as a trustee or custodian, any trust agreement or custodial agreement governing such Family Shareholder's conduct in such capacity), (iii) result in the creation of a security interest, lien, charge, encumbrance, or other similar claim on such Family Shareholder’s Rollover Shares, or (iv) violate or conflict with any Law, writ, injunction or decree applicable to such Family Shareholder or such Family Shareholder’s Rollover Shares.
(c) Ownership of Rollover Shares. Such Family Shareholder is the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the Rollover Shares set forth opposite such Family Shareholder's name in Annex B hereto, free and clear of any security interests, liens, charges, encumbrances, equities, claims, options or limitations of whatever nature and free of any other limitation or restriction (including any restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such Rollover Shares), except as may exist by reason of this Agreement, the Voting Agreement, federal securities laws and Mod-PAC trading policies. Except as provided for in this Agreement or the Voting Agreement, there are no outstanding options or other rights to acquire from such Family Shareholder, or obligations of such Family Shareholder to sell or to dispose of, any of such Family Shareholder's Rollover Shares.
(d) Investor’s Experience. Such Family Shareholder’s financial situation is such that such Family Shareholder can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Family Corp. Shares to be received by such Family Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement, and such Family Shareholder can afford (or, if such Family Shareholder is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as a trustee or custodian, the applicable trust or beneficiary can afford) to suffer complete loss of its investment in such Family Corp. Shares.
(e) Investment Intent. Such Family Shareholder is acquiring Family Corp. Shares solely for the Family Shareholder’s own account for investment (or, if such Family Shareholder is entering into this Agreement in its capacity as a trustee or custodian, solely for the applicable trust or beneficiary's account for investment) and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof in violation of applicable Laws. Such Family Shareholder agrees that such Family Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any Family Corp. Shares received by such Family Shareholder pursuant to this Agreement (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of any of such Family Corp. Shares), except in compliance with (i) the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder, (ii) applicable state and non-U.S. securities or “blue sky” laws and (iii) the provisions of this Agreement and any other agreements to which such Family Shareholder is a party with Family Corp. and/or the other Family Shareholders.
3
4. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of each party hereto to consummate the Rollover Transactions is subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 of the Merger Agreement being satisfied or waived by Parent (other than any such conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the prior or substantially concurrent satisfaction of such conditions) or such party hereto waiving, solely for purposes of this Agreement, such conditions set forth in Section 6.01 and 6.02 of the Merger Agreement being so satisfied or waived.
5. Further Assurances. Each party to this Agreement shall execute such documents and other papers and take such further actions as may be reasonably required or desirable to carry out the provisions hereof and the transactions contemplated hereby.
6. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate upon the first to occur of (a) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (b) a written agreement between the Company and a Family Shareholder to terminate this Agreement, provided that any such termination shall be effective only with respect to such Family Shareholder. The termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section shall not relieve any party from liability for any breach of its obligations hereunder committed prior to such termination.
7. Survival. The representations, warranties and agreements of the parties contained in this Agreement shall not survive any termination of this Agreement, provided, however, that no such termination shall relieve any party hereto from any liability for any breach of this Agreement committed prior to such termination.

To the extent permitted by law, each party hereby irrevocably agrees that any suit, action or other proceeding brought by it against any other party hereto shall be brought, heard and determined solely in such courts. Each of the parties to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding in the manner provided for notices in Section 8 of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

15. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties 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 to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.
17. Interpretation. The subject headings of the Sections and subsections of this Agreement are included for the purposes of convenience only, and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
