WHEREAS, as a condition and inducement to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, each Stockholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:

1.1.1.       “Beneficial Owner” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (without giving effect to the limiting phrase “within sixty days” set forth in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)); provided, that Parent shall not be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of the Covered Company Securities by virtue of this Agreement.

1.1.2.       “Covered Company Securities” means, with respect to each Stockholder, (a) such Stockholder’s Existing Securities and (b) any shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, or other voting capital stock of the Company and any Securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Company Common Stock, Company Preferred Stock, or other voting capital stock of the Company, in each case that such Stockholder has Beneficial Ownership of on or after the date hereof; it being understood that if such Stockholder acquires Securities (or rights with respect thereto) described in clause (b) above (to the extent such Securities are not timely reported, or required to be reported, in a filing by such Stockholder with the SEC), such Stockholder shall promptly notify Parent in writing, indicating the number of such Securities so acquired.

 

 

 

 

1.1.3.       “Permitted Transfer” means a Transfer of Covered Company Securities by each Stockholder (a) in connection with the exercise, conversion, vesting or settlement of Company Equity Awards or Company Preferred Stock (including the net settlement of such equity or sale of underlying shares of Company Common Stock in order to pay any exercise price and any tax withholding obligations in connection therewith), or (b) to any Affiliate of such Stockholder; provided, however, that in the case of the foregoing clause (b), any such Transfer shall only be a Permitted Transfer if and to the extent that the transferee of such Covered Company Securities evidences in a writing in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent such transferee’s agreement to be bound by and subject to the terms and provisions hereof to the same effect as the transferring Stockholder, and upon such transfer to be deemed a Stockholder hereunder.

 

1.1.4.       “Transfer” means any direct or indirect sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), or entry into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to any sale, assignment, encumbrance, pledge, hypothecation, disposition or other transfer (by operation of law or otherwise), of any capital stock or other Securities or interest (including voting interest) in any capital stock or other Securities (including any Covered Company Securities) (it being understood that no Transfer shall be deemed to be made by Stockholder solely as a result of transfers of limited partnership (or similar) interests in such Stockholder or any Person owning such Stockholder).

 

2.            Voting Agreement.

 

2.1.         Agreement to Vote.

 

2.1.1.       Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, at the Company Stockholders’ Meeting and at any other meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, including any adjournment or postponement thereof, and in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of the Company (the date of the taking of any such action being an applicable “Determination Date”), such Stockholder shall, in each case to the extent that the Covered Company Securities are entitled to vote thereon or consent thereto: (a) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of such Stockholder’s Covered Company Securities to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum; and (b) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, or if applicable deliver (or cause to be delivered) a written consent covering, all of such Stockholder’s Covered Company Securities:

2.1.2.       Any vote required to be cast or consent required to be executed pursuant to Section 2.1.1 shall be cast or executed in accordance with the applicable procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of determining that a quorum is present (if applicable) and for purposes of recording the results of that vote or consent. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require a Stockholder (or shall entitle any proxy of a Stockholder) to convert, exercise or exchange any option, warrants or convertible securities in order to obtain any underlying shares of Company Common Stock.

 

2.2.       No Inconsistent Agreements. Each Stockholder represents, covenants and agrees that, except for this Agreement, such Stockholder (a) has not entered into, nor shall it enter into at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, any voting agreement, voting trust or similar arrangement or understanding with respect to any Covered Company Securities, and (b) has not granted, nor shall it grant at any time while this Agreement remains in effect, a proxy (except in accordance with Section 2.1.1 hereof), consent or power of attorney with respect to any Covered Company Securities.

3.1.         Restrictions on Transfers.

3.2.         Waiver of Appraisal Rights; Litigation. Each Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, assert or perfect (or attempt to exercise, assert or perfect), any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that it may at any time have under applicable Law. Each Stockholder agrees not to commence, join in, facilitate, assist or encourage any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors or Representatives (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement, (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the evaluation, negotiation or entry into the Merger Agreement or (c) otherwise relating to the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or the Merger or other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not restrict such Stockholder from enforcing any of his, her or its rights under the Merger Agreement or this Agreement.

 

3.3.         Stock Dividends, Distributions, Etc. In the event of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend or distribution, or any change in the Company Stock by reason of any recapitalization, combination, reclassification, exchange of shares or similar transaction, the terms “Existing Securities” and “Covered Company Securities” shall be deemed to refer to and include all such stock dividends and distributions and any Securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

6.13.       WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) BETWEEN ANY OF THEM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE, AND ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
