(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing clause (a), if, during the Restricted Period, the Company receives an Alternative Proposal and the majority of the Non-Gores Directors reasonably conclude in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national recognized reputation, that (i) the failure to consider and negotiate such Alternative Proposal would be inconsistent with fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable Law, and (ii) such Alternative Proposal, if consummated is likely to result in a Superior Alternative Proposal, the majority of the Non-Gores Directors after giving the Purchasers prior written notice of the identity of the third party making such Alternative Proposal, the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Proposal, and the Company’s intention to furnish information to, or participate in discussions or negotiations with, the Person making such proposal, may, and may authorize and permit the Company’s officers, directors, employees, financial advisors, representatives, or agents to, (A) provide the Offeror with nonpublic information, (B) participate in discussions and negotiations with the Offeror relating to such Alternative Proposal and (C) enter into or execute any confidentiality agreements relating thereto; provided, that (1) the Company provides the Purchasers with a copy of all such information that has not been previously provided to the Purchasers simultaneously with the delivery to the Offeror and (2) the Company enters into a confidentiality agreement with the Offeror on terms no less favorable to the Company than those contained in the Confidentiality Agreement. For purposes of clarification, only the majority of the Non-Gores Directors (and not the full Board) shall be involved in the evaluation and negotiation of any Superior Alternative Proposal. If any Superior Alternative Proposal involves a merger of the Company, such Superior Alternative Proposal shall be recommended by the majority of the Non-Gores Directors to the full Board. The full Board will only reject the recommendation of the majority of the Non-Gores Directors if the full Board reasonably concludes in good faith, after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of national recognized reputation, that the failure to adopt the recommendation of the majority of the Non-Gores Directors would be consistent with fiduciary duties to its stockholders under applicable Law.
(c) Prior to the Board voting upon a Superior Alternative Proposal or the termination of this Agreement, the Company shall provide to the Purchasers a written notice (i) that the majority of the Non-Gores Directors are prepared to recommend the Superior Alternative Proposal and to recommend the termination of this Agreement, (ii) specifying in reasonable detail the consideration and other material terms and conditions of such Superior Alternative Proposal and including a copy of all material written materials provided to or by the Company in connection with such Superior Alternative Proposal, (iii) stating such Alternative Proposal meets the requirements of Section 4.9(b) and (iv) identifying the Offeror. The Company shall cooperate and negotiate in good faith with the Purchasers during the five (5) Business Day period following such notice (it being understood that any amendment to the financial terms or any other material term of such Alternative Proposal shall require a new notice and a new five (5) Business Day period) to make an offer to invest in or acquire the Company. If the Purchasers do not make a bona fide written offer (together with reasonable evidence that such Persons have or can obtain pursuant to legally binding obligations sufficient funds to consummate such offer) that the majority of the Non-Gores Directors determine in their reasonable good faith judgment (after consultation with the Company’s outside legal counsel and a financial advisor of nationally recognized reputation) to be at least as favorable to the holders of Common Stock (other than the Purchasers and their respective Affiliates), from a financial point of view, as such Superior Alternative Proposal, and the Company has complied with Section 4.9(a) and (b) above, the Board may accept such Superior Alternative Proposal; provided, that, concurrently with such acceptance of the Superior Alternative Proposal, the Company pays the Superior Alternative Proposal Payment, and causes the immediate termination of the Gores NFL Guarantee and the Gores Credit Guarantee. In addition, upon payment of the Superior Alternative Proposal Payment, all outstanding securities of the Company (including any shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Warrants, shares of Common Stock, shares of Series A Preferred Stock and shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock) held by the Purchasers shall be retired or cancelled.

The Proxy Statement will comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act, except for any corrections or supplements to any preliminary proxy statement that are made in the final Proxy Statement.

(b) If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall assume the defense thereof, including the engagement of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof; provided, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Company of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have materially adversely prejudiced the Company.
An Indemnified Party shall have the right to engage separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Company has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) the Company shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding; (iii) the Company shall have failed promptly to engage counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding (in each case, only with respect to such Indemnified Party); or (iv) the named parties to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Affiliates, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to represent such Indemnified Party and the Company or such Affiliates (in which case, under any of clauses (i) through (iv), such counsel shall be at the expense of the Company). The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any Proceeding effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending Proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Party is a party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Proceeding.
(c) The indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations of the Company under this Section 4.11 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Indemnified Parties. If the Company breaches its obligations under any Transaction Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any Transaction Document or applicable Law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Indemnified Parties on demand for all costs of collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), provided that the Indemnified Parties prevail in such matters. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Indemnified Parties on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph, subject to the Indemnified Parties entering into an undertaking to reimburse all such amounts, in the event the Indemnified Parties do not prevail on such matters. For purposes of clarity, the provisions contained in this Section 4.11 shall not constitute the exclusive remedies of any Indemnified Party hereunder.

(i) By the mutual consent of the Company and Gores, on behalf of itself and all Purchasers.
(ii) By the Company or Gores, on behalf of itself and all Purchasers, if the Closing has not been consummated on the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.1(a)(ii) shall not be available to any party whose breach of the covenants set forth in this Agreement has been the principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Closing to be consummated by the Termination Date.

 

22


 

(iii) By Gores, on behalf of itself and all Purchasers, if the Debt Restructuring Agreements are terminated prior to the Closing.
(iv) By Gores, on behalf of itself and all Purchasers, if the Company is in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement which breach shall have not been cured within fifteen (15) Business Days after written notice thereof from Gores or which breach cannot be cured within fifteen (15) Business Days.

6.7 Amendments; Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company, and the Purchasers who, if before the Closing, have agreed to purchase not less than majority of the Gores Series B Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement, and if after the Closing Date, hold not less than majority of the Gores Securities actually issued hereunder on a fully diluted as-converted basis (the “Majority Purchasers”). Any waiver executed by the Majority Purchasers shall be binding on the Company and all holders of Gores Securities. No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
6.8 Construction. The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. Any contract, statute or rule defined or referred to herein means such contract, statute or rule as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including (in the case of contracts) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes or rules) by succession of comparable successor statutes or rules and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.
6.9 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Purchasers. Any Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement after the Closing to any Person to whom such Purchaser assigns or transfers any Gores Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Gores Securities, by the provisions hereof and of the applicable Transaction Documents that apply to the “Purchasers” and thereafter shall be deemed a Purchaser for all purposes hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Securities may be pledged to a bank or financial lending institution in connection with a bona fide loan or financing arrangement, provided, that prior to any foreclosure thereunder such pledgee shall enter into an agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company, making the restrictions set forth in the Transaction Documents applicable to such pledgee.
6.10 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except that each Indemnified Party is an intended third party beneficiary of Section 4.11 and (in each case) may enforce the provisions of Section 4.11 directly against the parties with obligations thereunder.

 

25


 

6.11 Governing Law; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the Transactions (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, stockholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and U.S. federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any Transaction or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of any of this Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by Law. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or the Transactions. If either party shall commence a proceeding to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys fees and other reasonable costs and expenses incurred with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such proceeding.
6.12 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. If any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt in good faith to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor and effects the original intent of the parties as closely as possible, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.14 Rescission and Withdrawal Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Transaction Documents, whenever any Purchaser exercises a right, election, demand or option under a Transaction Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then such Purchaser may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

 

26


 

6.15 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt of evidence to the Company’s reasonable satisfaction of such mutilation, loss, theft or destruction, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument. Applicants for such substitute certificates shall also comply with such other reasonable regulations and pay such other reasonable charges incidental thereto as the Company may reasonably prescribe.
6.16 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by Law, including recovery of damages, each of the Purchasers and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any Proceeding for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate.
6.17 Adjustments in Share Numbers and Prices. After the date hereof and before the Closing, in the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in Common Stock (or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive, directly or indirectly, Common Stock), combination or other similar recapitalization or event (and including all Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Gores Series B Preferred Shares) occurring after the date hereof, each reference in this Agreement to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.
6.18 Series A Consent. The Purchasers, in their capacity as the holders of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Series A Preferred Stock, consent to the Transactions concurrently with the Closing.
