1. VOTING OF SHARES.
----------------------
1.1. VOTING AGREEMENT. Each of the Stockholders hereby
agrees to vote (or cause to be voted) all of such Stockholder's Shares (and
any and all securities issued or issuable in respect thereof) which such
Stockholder is entitled to vote (or to provide his written consent thereto),
at any annual, special or other meeting of the stockholders of Parent, and at
any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or pursuant to any consent in lieu
of a meeting or otherwise:
(i) in favor of the Merger and the approval of the issuance
of Parent Common Stock in the Merger (the "Parent Proposal") and any actions
required in furtherance thereof;
(ii) against any action or agreement that is reasonably
likely to result in a breach in any material respect of any covenant,
representation or warranty or any other obligation of Parent under this
Agreement or the Merger Agreement; and
(iii) except for all such actions which may be permitted to
Parent under Section 5.1(b) of the Merger Agreement, against (A) any
extraordinary corporate transaction, such
as a merger, rights offering, reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation
involving Parent or any of its subsidiaries other than the Merger, (B) a sale
or transfer of a material amount of assets of Parent or any of its material
subsidiaries or the issuance of any securities of Parent or any subsidiary,
(C) any change in the Board of Directors of Parent other than in connection
with an annual meeting of the shareholders of Parent with respect to the
slate of directors proposed by the incumbent Board of Directors of Parent (in
which case they agree to vote for the slate proposed by the incumbent Board)
or (D) any action that is reasonably likely to materially impede, interfere
with, delay, postpone or adversely affect in any material respect the Merger
and the transaction contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF STOCKHOLDERS. Each of the
Stockholders severally represents and warrants to the Company as follows in
each case as of the date hereof:
2.1. BINDING AGREEMENT. The Stockholder has the capacity and
full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The Stockholder has duly
and validly executed and delivered this Agreement and this Agreement
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder,
enforceable against the Stockholder in accordance with its terms, except as
such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally
and by general equitable principles (regardless of whether enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).
2.2. NO CONFLICT. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, nor the compliance with any of the provisions hereof in each case
by the Stockholder (a) require any consent, approval, authorization or permit
of, registration, declaration or filing (except for filings under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) with, or
notification to, any governmental entity, (b) result in a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) or
give rise to any right of termination by any third party, cancellation,
amendment or acceleration under any material contract, agreement, instrument,
commitment, arrangement or understanding, or result in the creation of a
security interest, lien, charge, encumbrance, equity or claim with respect to
any of the Shares, (c) require any material consent, authorization or
approval of any person other than a governmental entity which has not been
obtained, or (d) violate or conflict with any order, writ, injunction, decree
or law applicable to such Stockholder or the Shares.
2.3. OWNERSHIP OF SHARES. Except as set forth in Schedule II
and except as may be provided in the organizational documents, if any, of the
Stockholder, the Stockholder is the record and beneficial owner of the Shares
free and clear of any security interests, liens, charges, encumbrances,
options or restriction on the right to vote the Shares. The Stockholder
holds exclusive power to vote the Shares, subject to the limitations set
forth in Section 1 of this Agreement. The Shares represent all of the shares
of capital stock of Parent beneficially owned by Stockholder.
3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. The Company
represents and warrants to each of the Stockholders as follows in each case as
of the date hereof:
-2-
3.1. BINDING AGREEMENT. The Company is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
State of Delaware and has full corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Merger
Agreement by the Company and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly and validly authorized by the
Board of Directors of the Company, and no other corporate proceedings on the
part of the Company except for the approval and adoption of the Merger
Agreement and approval of the Merger by a majority of the holders of shares
of Company common stock are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement by the Company and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby. The Company has
duly and validly executed this Agreement and this Agreement constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the
Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar
laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general equitable
principles (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law).
3.2. NO CONFLICT. Neither the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated
hereby, nor the compliance by the Company with any of the provisions hereof
will (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of its
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws, (b) require any consent, approval,
authorization or permit of, registration, declaration or filing (except for
filings under the Exchange Act) with, or notification to, any governmental
entity, (c) result in a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of
time or both, would become a default) or give rise to any right of
termination by any third party, cancellation, amendment or acceleration under
any contract, agreement, instrument, commitment, arrangement or
understanding, (d) require any material consent, authorization or approval of
any person other than a governmental entity, or (e) violate or conflict with
any order, writ, injunction, decree or law applicable to the Company.
4. TRANSFER AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS. For so long as the Merger
Agreement is in effect:
4.1. CERTAIN PROHIBITED TRANSFERS. Each of the Stockholders
generally agrees not to:
(a) sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or enter
into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect
to the sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of, the Shares or any
interest contained therein if (i) such sale, transfer, assignment or other
disposition, taken together with all other sales, transfers, assignments or
other dispositions by the Stockholders, as a group, during the period from
the date hereof through the date of the meeting held to consider the Parent
Proposal, would be of shares in an amount in excess of 1% of the Parent
Common Stock then outstanding or (ii) such sale, transfer, assignment or
other disposition is reasonably likely to impact the Average Closing Price
(as defined in the Merger Agreement);
(b) except as contemplated by this Agreement, grant any
proxies or power of attorney or enter into a voting agreement or other
arrangement with respect to the Shares, other than this Agreement;
-3-
(c) deposit the Shares into a voting trust; nor
(d) buy, sell or trade any equity security of Parent
including, without limitation, entering into any put, call, option, swap or
collar derivative transaction which has a similar economic effect if such
purchase, sale or trade is reasonably likely to impact the Average Closing
Price.
4.2. ADDITIONAL SHARES. Without limiting the provisions of
the Merger Agreement, in the event of (i) any stock dividend, stock split,
recapitalization, reclassification, combination or exchange of shares of
capital stock of Parent on, or affecting the Shares or (ii) the Stockholder
shall become the beneficial owner of any additional shares of Parent Common
Stock or other securities entitling the holder thereof to vote or give
consent with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1 hereof, then the
terms of this Agreement shall apply to the shares of capital stock or other
securities of Parent held by the Stockholder immediately following the
effectiveness of the events described in clause (i) or the Stockholder
becoming the beneficial owner thereof, as described in clause (ii), as though
they were Shares hereunder. Each of the Stockholders hereby agrees, while
this Agreement is in effect, to promptly notify the Company of the number of
any new shares of Company Common Stock acquired by the Stockholder, if any,
after the date hereof.
5. SPECIFIC ENFORCEMENT. The parties hereto agree that
irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof or were
otherwise breached and that each party shall be entitled to seek specific
performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy which may be
available at law or in equity.
6. TERMINATION. Except for Sections 6 and 7 hereof, which shall
survive for the period specified therein, this Agreement shall terminate,
with respect to a Stockholder to whom any of the following applies, as
applicable, but shall not terminate with respect to the other Stockholders on
the earlier of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement, (ii) the
agreement of the parties hereto to terminate this Agreement, (iii)
consummation of the Merger and (iv) the date such Stockholder ceases to own
any Shares other than as a result of the breach by such Stockholder of this
Agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION. The Company shall, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, indemnify and hold harmless, each of the
Stockholders against any costs or expenses (including attorneys' fees as
provided below), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
amounts paid in settlement in connection with any claim, action, suit,
proceeding or investigation by Parent or any stockholder of Parent asserting
any breach by the Stockholder of any fiduciary duty on his part to Parent or
the other stockholders of Parent by reason of the Stockholder entering into
this Agreement, for a period of six years after the date hereof. In the
event the Stockholder seeks indemnification from the Company for any such
claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation (whether arising before or
after the termination of this Agreement), (a) the Company shall pay the fees
and expenses of one counsel selected by the Stockholder and reasonably
acceptable to the Company to represent the Stockholder in connection
therewith promptly after statements therefor are received, and (b) the
Company will cooperate in the defense of any such matter; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that the Company shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its
-4-
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that in the event that any claim or claims for indemnification are
asserted or made within such six-year period, all rights to indemnification
in respect of any such claim or claims shall continue until the disposition
of any and all such claims.
8. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder shall
be in writing and shall be deemed given upon (a) transmitter's confirmation
of a receipt of a facsimile transmission, (b) confirmed delivery by a
standard overnight carrier or when delivered by hand or (c) the expiration of
