NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, do hereby agree as follows:

2.1 No Transfer and Encumbrance. Until the Expiration Time, (i) the Stockholder shall not sell or transfer any of the shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock directly held by the Stockholder, (ii) no KKR Investor or GA Investor (x) shall permit (by providing consent thereto or otherwise) any direct or indirect sale or transfer of an equity interest in a KKR Investor or a GA Investor by any Person who holds any direct or indirect equity interest in any of the KKR Investors or GA Investors, respectively (other than pursuant to a redemption of such an equity interest in a KKR Investor or a GA Investor) that would result in an “owner shift” under Section 382(g) of the Code with respect to the Company or (y) shall permit (by providing consent thereto or otherwise) any transfer of the limited partnership interests of the Stockholder directly held by any Co-Investor Partner and (iii) neither the Stockholder nor any KKR Investor or GA Investor shall otherwise effect any transaction that would result in a direct or indirect transfer of shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock (including pursuant to a redemption of an equity interest in a KKR Investor or GA Investor).

Until the Expiration Time, the Stockholder shall not effect a distribution of any Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock. Until the Expiration Time, the Stockholder agrees, with respect to any Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock currently or hereinafter beneficially owned by the Stockholder, not to deposit any such Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto (other than pursuant to this Agreement). The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent that, pursuant to the terms of the limited partnership agreement of the Stockholder, until the Expiration Time, no Co-Investor Partner is permitted to transfer any limited partnership units of the Stockholder without the consent of the KKR Investors and the GA Investors (other than in connection with a redemption of the limited partnership units of the Stockholder upon a distribution of any Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock by the Stockholder). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing herein shall prevent or prohibit a transfer of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

2.2 Additional Purchases. The Stockholder agrees that any Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock, other shares of the Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock that the Stockholder purchases or otherwise hereinafter acquires or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires sole voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time (the “New Common Stock”) shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock.

2.3 Unpermitted Transfers. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Company Common Stock, Merger Sub One Common Stock, or New Common Stock in violation of this Section 2 shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, be null and void ab initio and the Company agrees not to register any such attempted transfer on the Company’s records.

Any such written consent shall be given in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted for purposes of recording the results of such consent. The Stockholder shall not enter into any tender, voting or other agreement, or grant a proxy or power of attorney, with respect to the Company Common Stock or New Common Stock that is inconsistent with this Agreement or otherwise take any other action with respect to the Company Common Stock or New Common Stock that would in any way restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby, including the approval of the Mergers and the consummation of the Mergers.

3.2 At any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or of Merger Sub One, or at any postponement or adjournment thereof, called to seek the affirmative vote of the holders of outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock to adopt the Merger Agreement or approve the Mergers, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent or other approval with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement is sought, the Stockholder shall vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of Company Common Stock or New Common Stock currently or hereinafter owned by the Stockholder in favor of the foregoing. The Stockholder shall not commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with this Section 3.

4. No Solicitation.

4.1 From the date of this Agreement until the Expiration Time, the Stockholder shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers or employees or any of their respective investment bankers, accountants, attorneys or other advisors, agents or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) to, (i) directly or indirectly solicit or initiate, or knowingly encourage, induce or facilitate, any Company Acquisition Transaction or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Transaction, or (ii) directly or indirectly participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding, or furnish to any Person any information with respect to, or cooperate in any way with any Person (whether or not a Person making a Company Acquisition Transaction) with respect to, any Company Acquisition Transaction or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Transaction. The Stockholder shall, and shall instruct its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives to, immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Parent and its Representatives) conducted by the Stockholder, its Affiliates or its Representatives heretofore with respect to any Company Acquisition Transaction or any inquiry or proposal that may reasonably be expected to lead to a Company Acquisition Transaction, and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished to any such Person or its Representatives by the Stockholder, its Affiliates or Representatives, and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person or its Representatives by the Stockholder, its Affiliates or Representatives, in connection with any actual or potential proposal by such Person to acquire the Company.

5. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

5.1 Due Authority. The Stockholder has the full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the

 

3


Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization and execution and delivery of this Agreement by Parent, constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.

5.2 Ownership of the Company Common Stock and Merger Sub One Common Stock. As of the date hereof, the Stockholder (a) is the beneficial or record owner of the shares of Company Common Stock and Merger Sub One Common Stock indicated on Schedule A hereto opposite the Stockholder’s name, free and clear of any and all Liens, other than those created by this Agreement or as disclosed on Schedule A (none of which would prevent or interfere with the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement), and (b) has sole voting power over all of the shares of Company Common Stock and Merger Sub One Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholder. As of the date hereof, the Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any capital stock or other voting securities of the Company or Merger Sub One other than the shares of Company Common Stock and Merger Sub One Common Stock set forth on Schedule A opposite the Stockholder’s name. As of the date hereof, the Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any rights to purchase or acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company and Merger Sub One Common Stock except as set forth on Schedule A opposite the Stockholder’s name and as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

5.3 No Conflict; Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder does not, and the performance by the Stockholder of the obligations under this Agreement and the compliance by the Stockholder with any provisions hereof do not and will not: (a) conflict with or violate any Laws applicable to the Stockholder, or (b) result in any material breach of or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on, any of the Company Common Stock and Merger Sub One Common Stock beneficially owned by the Stockholder pursuant to any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder is bound, except for any of the foregoing as could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform its obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

(b) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any governmental authority or any other Person, is required by or with respect to the Stockholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation by the Stockholder of the transactions contemplated hereby.

5.4 Absence of Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no legal action pending against, or, to the knowledge of the Stockholder, threatened against or affecting the Stockholder that could reasonably be expected to materially impair or materially adversely affect the ability of the Stockholder to perform the Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

6. Covenants of the Stockholder.

6.1 Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives the exercise of any rights of appraisal, rights to dissent or any similar right that the Stockholder may have by virtue of the Stockholder’s ownership of the Company Common Stock with respect to the Toucan Merger and ownership of Merger Sub One Common Stock with respect to the East/ Toucan Merger.

6.2 Public Announcements. Neither party hereto shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby or, in the case of the

 

4


Stockholder, the Merger Agreement, the Mergers or any other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, except as may be required by applicable Law or, in the case of the Stockholder, to the Stockholder’s or such Affiliate’s direct or indirect investors (who are bound by a customary confidentiality agreement) or in connection with normal fund raising and related marketing or informational or reporting activities of the Stockholder or any such Affiliate.

7. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and shall have no further force or effect immediately as of and following the Expiration Time.

8. Fiduciary Duties. The covenants and agreements set forth herein shall not prevent the Stockholder’s designees serving on the board of directors of the Company or serving on the board of directors of Merger Sub One from taking any action, subject to the provisions of the Merger Agreement, while acting in such designee’s capacity as a director of the Company or of Merger Sub One. The Stockholder is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the record holder or beneficial owner of the Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock.

9. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to the Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Stockholder’s shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and Parent shall have no authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting or disposition of any of the shares of Company Common Stock or Merger Sub One Common Stock, except as otherwise provided herein.

10. Miscellaneous.

10.1 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or Law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as either the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or such party waives its rights under this Section 10.1 with respect thereto. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, 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 to the end that transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.

10.2 Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

10.3 Amendments and Modifications. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed on behalf of each of the parties hereto.

10.4 Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, prior to the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of terms and provisions of this Agreement, without proof of actual damages (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. The parties further agree not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy for any such breach.
