          (a) Cancellation of Company Securities. Each share of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.10 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), held by the Company as treasury stock or held by Mergerco or New Holdco immediately prior to the Effective Time shall automatically be cancelled, retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration or payment shall be delivered in exchange therefor or in respect thereof.
          (b) Conversion of Company Securities.
               (i) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, each Public Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, subject to Section 3.01(c) and Section 3.01(g), be cancelled and converted into the right to receive either (A) an amount equal to $39.20 in cash without interest, plus the Additional Per Share Consideration, if any (the Cash Consideration) or (B) one validly issued, fully paid and non assessable share of the New Holdco Common Stock valued at $39.20 per share based on the cash purchase price to be paid by investors that buy New Holdco Common Stock for cash in connection with the Closing, plus the Additional Per Share Consideration, if any, payable in cash (the Stock Consideration). The Cash Consideration or Stock Consideration, as applicable shall be referred to herein as the Merger Consideration, which when used herein shall be deemed to include cash in lieu of the fractional shares of New Holdco Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.01(j); and
               (ii) Pursuant to separate agreements entered into between the Parents and each Affiliated Holder as of the date hereof, each of the Affiliated Holders has agreed, as part of the Merger, to convert each Public Share held by it, or issuable upon exercise of

2


 

Company Options and each Restricted Share held by it, immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Rollover Shares) into the Cash Consideration.
               (c) Election Procedures. (i) Each Person who is a record holder of Public Share(s) on the Election Form Record Date (as defined below) (including each Person other than an Affiliated Holder who is a record owner of Restricted Shares) and each Person who has made an Irrevocable Option Election (as defined below) shall be entitled to make an election (the Elections), with respect to each Public Share held by it as of such time, to receive the Cash Consideration (a Cash Election) or with respect to each Public Share or Net Electing Option Share held by it as of such time, to receive the Stock Consideration (a Stock Election) (each Public Share or Net Electing Option Share for which a valid Stock Election has been made is hereinafter referred to as a Stock Election Share). All such Elections shall be made on a form (a Form of Election) in compliance with the terms of this Section 3.01(c) and Section 3.01(d). Each holder of record and, if not otherwise a holder of record, each holder of Net Electing Option Shares, shall submit only one Form of Election except that holders of record of Public Share(s) who hold such Public Share(s) as nominees, trustees or in other representative capacities (each, a Shares Representative) may submit a separate Form of Election on or before the Election Deadline with respect to each beneficial owner for whom such Shares Representative holds Public Share(s); provided that such Shares Representative certifies that such Form of Election covers all of the Public Share(s) held by such Shares Representative for such beneficial owner whose Public Share(s) are covered by such Form of Election. For purposes hereof, a holder of Public Shares or Net Electing Option Shares who does not make a valid Election prior to the Election Deadline, including but not limited to any failure to return the Form of Election to the Paying Agent prior to the Election Deadline, any revocation of a Form of Election, or any failure to properly complete the Form of Election, each in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.01 shall be deemed (i) to have elected to receive the Cash Consideration for each such Public Share and (ii) not to have made a Stock Election with respect to each such Net Electing Option Share (such that the Company Option(s) related to each such Net Electing Option Share will be treated in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(i)). New Holdco may, in its sole discretion reject all or any part of a Stock Election made by (i) a Non-U.S. Person if New Holdco determines that such rejection would be reasonable in light of the requirements of Article VIII, Section 6 of the Company’s by-laws or Article X of New Holdco’s certificate of incorporation, or that such rejection is otherwise advisable to facilitate compliance with FCC restrictions on foreign ownership, or (ii) made in contravention of an agreement entered into pursuant to Section 3.01(b)(ii). In the event that a Stock Election or portion of a Stock Election is rejected pursuant to the preceding sentence, then such a Stock Election or portion of a Stock Election shall be deemed of no force and effect and the record holder making such Stock Election shall for purposes hereof be (i) deemed to have made a Cash Election for each Public Share that is subject to such a rejected Stock Election or portion of a Stock Election and (ii) shall be deemed not to have made a Stock Election for each Net Electing Option Share that is subject to such a rejected Stock Election (such that the Company Option(s) related to each such share will be treated in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(i)).

3


 

               (ii) Each Person (other than an Affiliated Holder) who is a holder of a Company Option on the Election Form Record Date shall be entitled to submit a Form of Election specifying the number of Company Options held by such holder, if any, that such Person irrevocably commits to exercise (subject to any requirements with respect to method of exercise imposed by the Company in order to facilitate the implementation of this Section 3.01 and Section 3.03) immediately prior to the Effective Time (an “Irrevocable Option Election”). All such Irrevocable Option Elections shall be made on a Form of Election. Any such holder who fails properly to submit a Form of Election with respect to Company Options on or before the Election Deadline in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 3.01(c) shall be deemed to have failed to make an Irrevocable Option Election and all of such holder’s Company Stock Options that are not covered by a valid Irrevocable Option Election shall be treated in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(i). The aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to an Irrevocable Option Election made pursuant to this Section 3.01(c)(ii) is referred to as the “Gross Electing Option Shares”, and the “Net Electing Option Shares” shall mean the aggregate number of shares of Company Common Stock that would be issued in the event the Company Options covering the Gross Electing Option Shares were exercised on a net share basis (i.e., paying the exercise price of the Company Options using the value of the shares of Company Common Stock underlying such Company Options) at a price equal to the Cash Consideration taking into account the exercise price and any required tax withholding. For the avoidance of doubt, all holders of Net Electing Option Shares must make a Stock Election pursuant to Section 3.01(c) in order to be eligible to receive the Stock Consideration.
          (d) Mailing of Form of Election; Election Deadline, Shareholder Notification. Mergerco and New Holdco shall prepare and direct the Paying Agent to mail a Form of Election, which form shall (i) include a Letter of Transmittal and (ii) be subject to the reasonable approval of the Company, with the Proxy Statement/Prospectus to the record holders of Public Share(s) and Company Options as of the record date for the Shareholders’ Meeting (the Election Form Record Date) (by posting the Form of Election and related materials on the Company’s website or otherwise). To be effective, a Form of Election must be properly completed and signed by a record owner of Public Shares or Company Options, as the case may be and received by the Paying Agent at its designated office, by 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the business day immediately preceding the Shareholders’ Meeting (the Election Deadline). If the shareholders approve the Merger, the Paying Agent will coordinate with Mergerco, New Holdco and the Company to perform the proration and cutback calculations set forth in Section 3.01(g) and related acceptance and rejection of Elections as provided in Section 3.01(c) promptly after the Shareholders’ Meeting and notify each Public Holder and holder of a Net Electing Option Share whose Form of Election included a Stock Election of the number of Final Stock Election Shares (as defined below) covered by such Form of Election that have been accepted (the “Final Stock Election Notice”). Within 30 days of receipt of the Final Stock Election Notice accompanied by a Letter of Transmittal, such holder shall deliver a Letter of Transmittal with respect to the Final Stock Election Shares and the Company Options together with the Final Stock Election Shares and/or Company Options to which such Final Stock Election Notice relates in accordance with the instructions and subject to the terms and conditions of the Letter of Transmittal accompanying such notice, including but not limited to (i) for Public Shares held as physical certificates and for Company Options, the certificates for such Public Shares or Company Options, as applicable, a Letter of Transmittal properly completed and duly executed, any required signature guarantees and any other required documents; and (ii) for Book Entry

4


 

Shares either a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, and any required signature guarantees, or a message, transmitted by the official book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the depositary, which states that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the holder tendering the Public Share that such participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that the Parents may enforce such agreement against the holder; or (iii) for Certificates or Book Entry Shares, such form of “guaranteed delivery” that is acceptable to the Paying Agent as described in the instructions to the Letter of Transmittal. The Company will hold the Final Stock Election Shares (as defined below), the Company Options delivered in accordance with this Section 3.01(d) and the Letters of Transmittals relating thereto until the earlier of termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time. Any Public Holder or holder of Company Options that does not deliver a Letter of Transmittal and Final Stock Election Shares or Company Options within 30 days of receipt of the Final Stock Election Notice shall be deemed to have elected to (i) receive the Cash Consideration for each Final Stock Election Share that is not so delivered and/or (ii) have each Company Option that is not so delivered treated in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(i) and (iii) the Stock Election or portion of the Stock Election relating to such Final Stock Election Shares shall be rejected. In the event that a Stock Election or portion of a Stock Election is rejected pursuant to the preceding sentence, then such a Stock Election or portion of a Stock Election shall be deemed of no force and effect and the record holder making such Stock Election shall for purposes hereof be (i) deemed to have made a Cash Election for each Public Share that is subject to such a rejected Stock Election or such rejected portion of a rejected Stock Election and (ii) shall be deemed not to have made a Stock Election for such Net Electing Option Share that is subject to such a rejected Stock Election or such rejected portion of a rejected Stock Election (such that the Company Option(s) related to each such share will be treated in accordance with Section 3.03(a)(i)).
          (e) Ability to Revoke Stock Elections. All Stock Elections and Irrevocable Option Elections may be revoked by the holder at any time prior to the Election Deadline. From and after the Election Deadline, all Stock Elections and Irrevocable Option Elections shall be irrevocable. All Stock Elections and Irrevocable Option Elections shall automatically be revoked if the Paying Agent is notified in writing by Parents and the Company that the Merger has been abandoned and this Agreement has been terminated. If an Election or Irrevocable Option Election is revoked due to termination of this Agreement, the certificate or certificates (or guarantees of delivery, as appropriate), if any, for the Final Stock Election Shares or Company Options, as applicable, to which such Form of Election relates shall be promptly returned without charge to the stockholders and option holders submitting the same to the Paying Agent.
          (f) Determination of Paying Agent Binding. The determination of the Paying Agent shall be binding as to whether Forms of Election have been properly made pursuant to Section 3.01(c) and Section 3.01(d) with respect to Public Share(s) of Company Common Stock and Company Options and when Elections and Irrevocable Option Elections were received by it. If the Paying Agent determines that any Form of Election was not properly made with respect to any Public Share(s) or Company Options, such shares shall be treated by the Paying Agent as shares of Company Common Stock or Company Options, as the case may be, for which a Cash Election was made and such shares of Company Common Stock shall be exchanged in the Merger for the Cash Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01(b) and such Company Options for which an Irrevocable Option Election was made will be treated in accordance with Section

5


 

3.03(a)(i). None of the Company, Parents nor the Paying Agent shall be under any obligation to notify any person of any defect in a Form of Election submitted to the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall also make all computations as to the allocation and the proration contemplated by Section 3.01(g), and any such computation shall be conclusive and binding on the holders of Public Share(s) and Company Options absent manifest error. The Paying Agent may, with the mutual agreement of Parents and the Company, make such rules as are consistent with this Section 3.01 for the implementation of the Elections and Irrevocable Option Elections provided for herein as shall be necessary or desirable fully to effect such elections.
          (g) Proration and Individual Cutbacks. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (x) the maximum aggregate number of Public Shares and Net Electing Option Shares to be converted into the right to receive New Holdco Common Stock at the Effective Time pursuant to Stock Elections shall not exceed 30,612,245 (the Maximum Stock Election Number) and (y) the parties will use reasonable efforts to ensure that, upon consummation of the Merger, no holder of Public Shares and/or Net Electing Option Shares will receive shares of New Holdco Common Stock pursuant to a single Form of Election which represent more than 9.9% of the New Holdco Common Stock outstanding as of the Effective Time (the Individual Cap). The Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive New Holdco Common Stock or to receive Cash Consideration, each in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b), in the following manner:
               (i) No Proration. If the total number of Stock Election Shares is equal to or less than the Maximum Stock Election Number then, subject to Section 3.01(g)(iii), all such Stock Election Shares, shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration from New Holdco in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(c).
               (ii) Proration. If the total number of Stock Election Shares exceeds the Maximum Stock Election Number then, the Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration from New Holdco or the Cash Consideration from the Surviving Corporation, each in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b), in the following manner:
                    (A) A proration factor (the Proration Factor) shall be determined by dividing the Maximum Stock Election Number by the total number of Stock Election Shares;
                    (B) Subject to Section 3.01(g)(iii), with respect to each Form of Election validly submitted and signed by a record holder of Public Shares and/or holder of Company Options, the number of Stock Election Shares reflected on such Form of Election shall be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of New Holdco Common Stock (plus the Additional Per Share Consideration, if any, which shall be paid in cash) as is equal to the product of (w) the Proration Factor times (y) the total number of Stock Election Shares reflected on such Form of Election (the result of such calculation the First Allocation Distributable Shares). The difference between the Stock Election Shares and the First Allocation Distributable Shares relating to each Form of Election submitted shall be the First Prorated Returned Shares; and

6


 

                         (C) All First Allocation Distributable Shares shall be subject to cutback pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(iii). Subject to Section 3.01(g)(iv) and Section 3.01(g)(vi), all First Prorated Returned Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b).
               (iii) Individual Cutback. In the event that the number of First Allocation Distributable Shares (or Stock Election Shares if no proration is required pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(ii)) reflected on any individual Form of Election represent more than the Individual Cap (the holder relating to such individual Form of Election, a “Capped Holder”), the number of First Allocation Distributable Shares or Stock Election Shares, as applicable, will be cutback to the number of shares representing the Individual Cap (for each Capped Holder, the shares required for such cutback, the “First Individual Cutback Shares”). If there has been a cutback in accordance with this Section 3.01(g)(iii), a number of shares of New Holdco Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of First Individual Cutback Shares (the “Second Allocation Shares”) shall be reallocated pro rata to holders of First Prorated Returned Shares reflected on Forms of Election which do not constitute Capped Holders (a “Second Allocation Participant”) in a second allocation in accordance with Section 3.01(g)(iv) (the “Second Allocation”). The number of “First Allocation Stock Election Shares” relating to a holder’s Form of Election shall equal (1) the Stock Election Shares reflected on such Form of Election, minus (2) the First Prorated Return Shares (if any) determined pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(ii)(B), minus (3) the First Individual Cutback Shares (if any) determined pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(iii).
               (iv) Second Allocation. A Second Allocation proration factor (the Second Allocation Proration Factor) shall be determined by dividing the total number of Second Allocation Shares by the total number of First Prorated Return Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, if the total number of Second Allocation Shares is equal to or greater than the number of First Prorated Return Shares then, subject to Section 3.01(g)(v), a number of shares of New Holdco Common Stock equal to the number of First Prorated Return Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration from New Holdco in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(c).
                         (A) Subject to Section 3.01(g)(v), the number of Second Allocation Shares covered by each Second Allocation Participant’s Form of Election to be converted into Stock Consideration, shall be equal to the product of (w) the Second Allocation Proration Factor times (x) the total number of Second Allocation Shares covered by such participant’s Form of Election, provided that if such calculation results in a number higher than the First Prorated Return Shares for any Second Allocation Participant, the excess shares shall be reallocated to the remaining participant(s) pursuant to the above calculation as if they were “Second Allocation Shares” (the result of such calculation the Second Allocation Distributable Shares). The total of the First Allocation Stock Election Shares and the Second Allocation Distributable Shares for each Second Allocation Participant shall be the Second Prorated Stock Election Shares.
                         (B) All Second Allocation Distributable Shares shall be subject to cutback pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(v).

7


 

               (v) Second Cutback. In the event that the number of Second Prorated Stock Election Shares reflected on an individual Form of Election submitted by any Second Allocation Participant represents more than the Individual Cap, the number of Second Prorated Stock Election Shares for such participant’s Form of Election will be cutback to the number of Shares representing the Individual Cap (for each such Form of Election, the shares required for such cutback, the Second Individual Cutback Shares). The Second Allocation Stock Election Sharesfor any Second Allocation Participant shall be: (1) the difference between the Second Prorated Stock Election Shares and the Second Individual Cutback Shares if such participant’s Second Allocation is subject to proration and cutback and (2) the number of Second Prorated Stock Election Shares if such participant’s Second Allocation is subject to proration, but not cutback.
               (vi) If, after the Second Allocation, there are still holder(s) who have not been allocated Stock Consideration for all of their Stock Election Shares reflected on an individual Form of Election which is not yet subject to the Individual Cap, a number of shares of New Holdco Common Stock equal to the aggregate number of the Second Individual Cutback Shares shall be reallocated pro rata to such holder(s) in a third allocation pursuant to the procedures set out in Section 3.01(g)(iv) and Section 3.01(g)(v) (subject to this Section 3.01(g)(vi)) (with references to “First” replaced with “second” and references to “second” replaced with “third”) and the allocation process will continue in this manner until (x) the Maximum Stock Election Number is reached or (y) the Stock Election Shares reflected on each Form of Election submitted has reached its Individual Cap.
The number of Final Stock Election Sharesfor each holder shall be: (x) if there is no Second Allocation, the First Allocation Stock Election Shares; (y) if there is a Second Allocation, but no additional allocations pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(vi), the Second Allocation Stock Election Shares, and (z) if there is a Second Allocation and additional allocations pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(vi), the sum of (1) the Second Allocation Stock Election Shares and (2) any additional shares allocated pursuant to Section 3.01(g)(vi).
The number of Final Return Sharesfor each holder shall be the difference between (1) such holder’s Stock Election Shares and (2) such Holder’s Final Stock Election Shares.
               (vii) All Final Stock Election Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Stock Consideration in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b). All Final Return Shares shall be converted into the right to receive the Cash Consideration in accordance with the terms of Section 3.01(b).
               (viii) Any Stock Election subject to proration or cutback pursuant to Section 3.01(g) shall automatically be deemed to be revised such that the number of Stock Election Shares in such Stock Election reflects the Final Stock Election Shares (a Final Stock Election).
          (h) Each share of Company Common Stock (including each Net Electing Option Share) to be converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 3.01 shall be automatically cancelled at the Effective Time and shall cease to exist and the holders of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares which immediately prior to the Effective

8


 

Time represented such Company Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect to such Company Common Stock other than the right to receive, upon surrender of each such Certificate or Book-Entry Share in accordance with Section 3.01(b) of this Agreement, the Merger Consideration.
          (i) Conversion of Mergerco Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, each share of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Mergerco (the Mergerco Common Stock) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Surviving Corporation (with the relative rights and preferences described in an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation adopted as of the Effective Time as provided in Section 2.4, the Surviving Corporation Common Stock). As of the Effective Time, all such shares of Mergerco Common Stock cancelled in accordance with this Section 3.01(i), when so cancelled, shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such shares of Mergerco Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of Surviving Corporation Common Stock as set forth in this Section 3.01.
          (j) No Fractional Shares. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, no fractional shares of New Holdco Common Stock shall be issued in the Merger to any holder of Public Shares, Company Options or Rollover Shares as Stock Consideration or to any holder of Public Shares, Company Options or Rollover Shares pursuant to any exchange involving Rollover Shares. Each holder of Public Shares, Company Options or Rollover Shares, as applicable, who otherwise would have been entitled to a fraction of a share of New Holdco Common Stock shall receive in lieu thereof cash (without interest) in an amount determined by multiplying the fractional share interest to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the Cash Consideration. No such holder shall be entitled to dividends, voting rights or any other rights in respect of any fractional share of New Holdco Common Stock.
          (k) Adjustments. Without limiting the other provisions of this Agreement, if at any time during the period between the Original Agreement Date and the Effective Time, any change in the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock shall occur as a result of a reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including a reverse stock split), or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend or stock distribution with a record date during such period, the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.01(b) shall be equitably adjusted to reflect such change (including, without limitation, to provide holders of shares of Company Common Stock the same economic effect as contemplated by this Agreement prior to such transaction); provided that in no event shall the Stock Consideration be adjusted in a manner that increases the Maximum Stock Election Number.
          Section 3.02 Exchange of Certificates.
          (a) Designation of Paying Agent; Deposit of Exchange Fund. Prior to the Effective Time, New Holdco and Mergerco shall designate a paying agent and exchange agent (the Paying Agent) reasonably acceptable to the Company for the payment of the Merger Consideration as provided in Section 3.01(b) and Section 3.01(g). On the Closing Date, promptly following the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and New Holdco shall (i)

In the event the Exchange Fund shall be insufficient to make the payments contemplated by Section 3.01(b), Section 3.01(g), Section 3.01(j), and Section 3.03, the Surviving Corporation and New Holdco shall promptly deposit, or cause to be deposited, additional funds with the Paying Agent in an amount which is equal to the deficiency in the amount required to make such payment; provided that in no event shall the Surviving Corporation or New Holdco be required to contribute shares of New Holdco Common Stock to the Exchange Fund in an amount in excess of the Maximum Stock Election Number. The Paying Agent shall cause the Exchange Fund to be (A) held for the benefit of the holders of Company Common Stock and Company Options, and (B) applied promptly to making the payments pursuant to Section 3.02(b), Section 3.01(g), Section 3.01(j), and Section 3.03 hereof. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose that is not expressly provided for in this Agreement.
          (b) Letter of Transmittal. As promptly as practicable following the Effective Time and in any event not later than the second business day after the Effective Time, the Surviving Corporation and New Holdco shall cause the Paying Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) (i) to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share not previously submitted to the Paying Agent accompanied by a valid Letter of Transmittal, a Letter of Transmittal and accompanying instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares and (ii) to each holder of a Company Option, other than Net Electing Option Shares, a check in an amount due and payable to such holder pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof in respect of such Company Option. If any Letter of Transmittal submitted to the Paying Agent provides that payment of the Merger Consideration is made to a person other than the person in whose name the surrendered Certificate is registered or Company Option is held of record, it shall be a condition of payment that (i) the Certificate so surrendered shall be properly endorsed or shall otherwise be in proper form for transfer and (ii) the person requesting such payment shall have paid any transfer and other Taxes required by reason of the payment of the applicable portion of the Merger Consideration to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate surrendered or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Surviving Corporation that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by Section 3.01(d) or this Section 3.02, each Certificate, Book-Entry Share or option certificate, as applicable, shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive the applicable portion of the Aggregate Merger Consideration or Option Cash Payment, as applicable, in cash as contemplated by this Section 3.02 or Section 3.03 without interest thereon.

     (c) Surrender of Shares.

12


 

Company Option Plans and to obtain any consents from holders of Company Options and Restricted Shares that, in each case, are necessary to give effect to the transactions contemplated by Section 3.03(a) and Section 3.03(b). Without limiting the foregoing the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Company will not at the Effective Time be bound by any options, stock appreciation rights, warrants or other rights or agreements which would entitle any person, other than the holders of the capital stock (or equivalents thereof) of the Parents, Mergerco, New Holdco and their respective subsidiaries, to own any capital stock of the Surviving Corporation or New Holdco or to receive any payment in respect thereof. In furtherance of the foregoing, and subject to applicable Law and agreements existing between the Company and the applicable person, the Company shall explicitly condition any new awards or grants to any person under its Company Option Plans, annual bonus plans and other incentive plans upon such person’s consent to the amendments described in this Section 3.03(c) and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, shall withhold payment of the Cash Consideration to or require payment of the exercise price for all Company Options by any holder of a Company Option as to which the Cash Consideration exceeds the amount of the exercise price per share under such option unless such holder consents to all of the amendments described in this Section 3.03(c).

13


 

however, that if any such holder shall have failed to perfect or shall have effectively withdrawn or lost his or her right to appraisal and payment under the TBCA, such holder’s shares of Company Common Stock shall thereupon be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Cash Consideration without any interest thereon and such shares shall not be deemed to be Stock Election Shares or Dissenting Shares. Any payments required to be made with respect to the Dissenting Shares shall be made by the Surviving Corporation (and not the Company, Mergerco, New Holdco or either Parent) and the Aggregate Merger Consideration shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, as if the holder of such Dissenting Shares had not been a shareholder on the Closing Date. The Company shall give the Parents notice of all demands for appraisal and the Parents shall have the right to participate in all negotiations and proceedings with respect to all holders of Dissenting Shares. The Company shall not, except with the prior written consent of the Parents, voluntarily make any payment with respect to, or settle or offer to settle, any demand for payment from any holder of Dissenting Shares.

     Section 3.08 Rollover by Shareholders. At the Effective Time, each Rollover Share issued and outstanding immediately before the Effective Time shall be cancelled and be converted into and become the number of validly issued shares of equity securities of New Holdco calculated in accordance with Section 3.08 of the Second Amended Disclosure Letter (which shall be identical to Section 3.08 of the Mergerco Disclosure Schedule except that the Rollover Shares shall be converted into shares of New Holdco). As of the Effective Time, all such Rollover Shares when so cancelled, shall no longer be issued and outstanding and shall automatically cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate representing any such Rollover Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the shares of equity securities of New Holdco as set forth in this Section 3.08.
     Section 3.09 Additional Per Share Consideration.
     (a) No later than ten (10) business days before the Closing Date, if the Closing Date shall occur after the Additional Consideration Date, the Company shall prepare and

     (b) Before and after the delivery of the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement, the Company shall provide the Parents reasonable access to the records and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Company shall, and shall cause the employees of the Company and its subsidiaries to, (i) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Parents in connection with the Parents’ review of the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement and (ii) provide the Parents with access to accounting records, supporting schedules and relevant information relating to the Company’s preparation of the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement and calculation of Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration as the Parents shall reasonably request and that are available to the Company or its affiliates. Within five (5) business days after delivery of the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement to the Parents, the Parents may notify the Company that they disagree with the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement. Such notice shall set forth, to the extent practicable, in reasonable detail the particulars of such disagreement. If the Parents do not provide a notice of disagreement within such five (5) business day period, then the Parents shall be deemed to have accepted the calculations and the amounts set forth in the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement delivered by the Company, which shall then be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder. If any notice of disagreement is timely provided in accordance with this Section 3.09(b), then the Company and the Parents shall each use commercially reasonable efforts for a period of one (1) business day thereafter (the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration Resolution Period) to resolve any disagreements with respect to the calculations in the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement.
     (c) If, at the end of the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration Resolution Period, the Company and the Parents are unable to resolve any disagreements as to items in the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement, then KPMG, LLP (New York Office) (or such other independent accounting firm of recognized national standing in the United States as may be mutually selected by the Company and the Parents) shall resolve any remaining disagreements. If neither KPMG, LLP (New York Office) nor any such mutually selected accounting firm is willing and able to serve in such capacity, then the Parents shall deliver to the Company a list of three other accounting firms of recognized national or international standing and the Company shall select one of such three accounting firms (such firm as is ultimately selected pursuant to the aforementioned procedures being the Accountant). The Accountant shall be charged with determining as promptly as practicable, whether the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration as set forth in the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration statement was prepared in accordance with this Agreement and (only with respect to the disagreements as to the items set forth in the notice of disagreement and submitted to the Accountant) whether and to what extent, if any, the Estimated Additional Per Share Consideration requires adjustment.
     (d) The Accountant shall allocate its costs and expenses between the Parents (on behalf of Mergerco) and the Company based upon the percentage of the contested amount submitted to the Accountant that is ultimately awarded to the Company, on the one hand, or the

15


 

Parents, on the other hand, such that the Company bears a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Parents (such portion of such costs and expenses, the Company Accountant Expense) and the Parents (on behalf of Mergerco) bear a percentage of such costs and expenses equal to the percentage of the contested amount awarded to the Company. The determination of the Accountant shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes hereunder.
          (e) In order to permit the parties to prepare for an orderly Closing, the Company will deliver monthly reports calculating the previous month’s Operating Cash Flow on or before the 20th day of each month starting January 20, 2007 (with respect to performance during December 2006) and will provide the Parents with access to accounting records, supporting schedules and relevant information relating to the Company’s preparation thereof as the Parents shall reasonably request and that are available to the Company or its affiliates.”

Upon and from and after each such event, the term “Debt Financing” as used herein shall be deemed to mean the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters that are not so superseded or replaced at the time in question and the New Debt Financing Commitments to the extent then in effect. For purposes of this Agreement, “Marketing Period” shall mean the first period of twenty-five (25) consecutive business days throughout which (A) Mergerco and the Parents shall have the Required Financial Information that the Company is required to provide Mergerco and the Parents pursuant to Section 6.13(b), and (B) the conditions set forth in Section 7.01 or Section 7.02 (other than Section 7.02(c)) shall be satisfied and nothing has occurred and no condition exists that would cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.02 (other than Section 7.02(c)) to fail to be satisfied assuming the Closing were to be scheduled for any time during such twenty-five (25) consecutive business day period; provided, however, that if the Marketing Period has not ended on or prior to August 17, 2007, the Marketing Period shall commence no earlier than September 4, 2007 or if the Marketing Period has not ended on or prior to December 14, 2007, the Marketing Period shall commence no earlier than January 7, 2008.

     (b) The Company shall, and shall cause its subsidiaries, and their respective officers, employees, consultants and advisors, including legal and accounting of the Company and its subsidiaries at the Parents’ sole expense, to cooperate in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (which shall include for the avoidance of doubt and purposes hereof, the High Yield Financings) as may be reasonably requested in advance written notice to the Company provided by Mergerco or the Parents (provided that such requested cooperation does not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its subsidiaries or otherwise impair, in any material respect, the ability of any officer or executive of the Company or Outdoor Holdings to carry out their duties to the Company and to Outdoor Holdings, respectively). Such cooperation by the Company shall include, at the reasonable request of Mergerco or the Parents, (i) agreeing to enter into such agreements, and to execute and deliver such officer’s certificates (which in the good faith determination of the person executing the same shall be accurate), including certificates of the chief financial officer of the Company or

The Company hereby consents to the use of its and its subsidiaries’ logos in connection with the Financing. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Financing (or any replacements thereof) prior to the Effective Time. The Parents shall, promptly upon request by the Company following the valid termination of this Agreement (other than in accordance with Section 8.01(i), reimburse the Company for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Company or any of its subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation. The Parents shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its subsidiaries for and against any and all losses suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Financing and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than information provided by the Company or its subsidiaries).
