Neither the Key Holders, nor any of the officers, directors, stockholders, members, managers, partners, employees or agents of any Key Holder, makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of any member of the Director Group to serve on the Parent Board by virtue of such party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such party in designating or voting for such person or persons pursuant to this Agreement.

2.2.      Size of the Board. Each Key Holder agrees, during the term of this Agreement, to vote all of his, her or its Shares from time to time and at all times, in favor of the size of the Board being set and remaining at nine (9) directors.

2.3.      Removal of Board Members. Each Key Holder also agrees, during the term of this Agreement, that any director of the Parent Board may be removed from the Parent Board in the manner permitted by law and the Parent’s governing documents. If the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the Shares then held by a Stockholder Group request the removal of a director designated by such Stockholder Group, each Key Holder shall vote or act by written consent with respect to (or cause to be voted or acted upon by written consent), (i) all Shares for which the Key Holder is the record holder or beneficial owner at the time of such vote or action by written consent and (ii) all Shares as to which the Key Holder at the time of such vote or action by written consent has voting control, in each case in favor of such removal. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, each Key Holder will not, as a stockholder, vote or consent to the removal of any director who is a member of a Stockholder Group of which such Key Holder is

 

2


not a member. If a director is removed or resigns from office, the remaining directors nominated by the Stockholder Group that nominated such vacating director shall be entitled to designate a successor. All Key Holders agree, during the term of this Agreement, to execute any written consents required to effectuate the obligations of this Agreement, and the Parent and all Key Holders agrees at the request of any Party entitled to designate directors to call or participate in the call of, a special meeting of stockholders for the purpose of electing directors.

4.         Obligations as Director and/or Officer. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict any director or officer of the Parent from acting in his capacity as such director or officer or from exercising his fiduciary duties and responsibilities, it being agreed and understood that this Agreement shall apply to each Key Holder solely in such Key Holder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Parent and shall not apply to such Key Holder’s actions, judgments or decisions as a director or officer of the Parent if such Key Holder is a director or officer.

5.         Representations. Each Key Holder, severally and not jointly (as to itself or himself), represents, warrants, agrees and acknowledges that:

(a)       Such Key Holder has full legal capacity and power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to carry out such Key Holder’s obligations hereunder.

3


asset of such Key Holder pursuant to any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation.

(d)       The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Key Holder does not, and the performance of this Agreement by such Key Holder will not, require any consent, approval, authorization or permit of, or filing with or notification to, any governmental or regulatory authority, domestic or foreign, except (i) for compliance with applicable requirements, if any, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and (ii) where the failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations or permits, or to make such filings or notifications, would not prevent or materially delay the performance by such Key Holder of such Key Holder’s obligations under this Agreement.

(e)       Such Key Holder understands that the obligations set forth in this Agreement are irrevocable on the part of such Key Holder and shall survive such Key Holder’s death or incapacity. Any obligations created by this Agreement shall be binding upon the heirs, devisees, personal representatives, successors and assigns of each Key Holder.

Miscellaneous.

 

7.1.

Transfers, Successors and Assigns.

(a)       The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the Parties except for a successor or assign of a Key Holder who is not an Affiliate (as defined below) of a Key Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the Parties hereto and, to the extent provided in Section 7.1(b) below, their respective successors and assigns, any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.

(b)       Each transferee or assignee of the Shares from a Key Holder who is an Affiliate of a Key Holder shall be subject to the terms hereof, and, as a condition to the Parent recognizing such transfer, each such transferee or assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to each of the terms of this Agreement by executing and delivering an Adoption Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon the execution and delivery of an Adoption Agreement by any such transferee, such transferee shall be deemed to be a Party hereto as if such transferee’s signature appeared on the signature pages of this

 

4


Agreement. By execution of this Agreement or of any Adoption Agreement, each of the Parties appoints the Parent as its attorney in fact for the purpose of executing any Adoption Agreement that may be required to be delivered under the terms of this Agreement. The Parent shall not permit the transfer of the Shares subject to this Section 7.1(b) on its books or issue a new certificate representing any such Shares unless and until either (i) such transferee shall have complied with the terms of this Section 7.1, or (ii) the transferee shall have certified to Parent in writing that the transferee is not an Affiliate of a person or entity known to such transferee to be a Key Holder. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the Parties or their respective executors, administrators, heirs, successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, an “Affiliate” of a Key Holder means (i) an entity that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such Key Holder, and (ii), with respect to a Key Holder who is a natural person, such Key Holder’s spouse, children, parents, siblings, grandparents, grandchildren (in each case, including in-law and step- relationships), or a trust or other estate planning vehicle organized for the benefit of such Key Holder or any such persons. The term “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct the voting of the Shares, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.

(c)       For the avoidance of any doubt, each transferee or assignee of Shares from a Key Holder who is not an Affiliate of a Key Holder shall not be required to execute an Adoption Agreement and shall not be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

7.2.      Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware as to matters within the scope thereof, and as to all other matters shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its principles of conflicts of laws.

7.3.      Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed and delivered by facsimile signature and in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. The failure of any one or more Key Holders to execute this Agreement shall not in any way be deemed to affect the binding nature of this Agreement with respect any other Key Holder which executed this Agreement.

7.4.      Titles and Subtitles. The titles and subtitles used in this Agreement are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

7.6.

Amendment.

(a)       This Agreement may be amended or modified and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written instrument executed by (i) the Parent and (ii) the Key Holders holding at least (A) a majority of the Shares then held by the members of Stockholder Group A, and (B) a majority of the Shares then held by the members of Stockholder Group B and Stockholder Group C voting together as a single class.

(b)       Notwithstanding Subsection 7.6(a), (i) this Agreement may not be amended or terminated and the observance of any term of this Agreement may not be waived with respect to any Key Holder without the written consent of such Key Holder unless such amendment, termination or waiver applies to all Key Holders, as the case may be, in the same fashion, (ii) the consent of a Key Holder shall not be required for any amendment or waiver if such amendment or waiver does not apply to the Key Holder, and (iii) the right of Stockholder Group C to designate one director and the non-executive Vice Chairman of the Board under Section 1(b) shall not be amended or waived without the unanimous written consent of Stockholder Group C, and (iv) Section 7.6 shall not be amended or waived without the unanimous written consent of Stockholder Group A, Stockholder Group B, and Stockholder Group C.

(c)       The Parent shall give prompt written notice of any amendment or termination of this Agreement or waiver hereunder to any Party that did not consent in writing to such amendment, termination or waiver. Any amendment, termination or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.6 shall be binding on all Parties, even if they do not execute such consent. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

7.7.      Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

 

6


7.8.      Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any Party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other Party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting Party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Except as provided in Section 7.6, any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any Party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any Party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

7.9.      Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including any Schedule or Exhibits hereto) constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and any other written or oral agreement relating to the subject matter hereof existing between the Parties are expressly canceled.

7.10.    Stock Splits, Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of any issuance of the Parent’s voting securities hereafter to any of the Key Holders (including, without limitation, in connection with any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, or the like), such voting securities shall become subject to this Agreement upon issuance without the need for any further action, acknowledgement or consent.

7.11.    Covenants of the Parent. The Parent agrees to use its best efforts to ensure that the rights granted under this Agreement are effective and that the Parties enjoy the benefits of this Agreement. Such actions include, without limitation, the use of the Parent’s best efforts to cause the nomination and election of the directors as provided above. The Parent will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Parent but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary, appropriate or reasonably requested by the Key Holders.

7.12.    Manner of Voting; Grant of Proxy. The voting of Shares pursuant to this Agreement may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law. Each Party hereby grants to the Secretary of the Parent, during the term of this Agreement, if such Party or Parties fail to vote their Shares as required by Section 2 of this Agreement, a proxy coupled with an interest in all Shares beneficially owned by such Party solely to vote such Shares as required by Section 2 of this Agreement, which proxy is irrevocable until this Agreement terminates pursuant to its terms or this Section 7.12 is amended to remove such grant of proxy in accordance with Section 7.6 of this Agreement.

7.13.    Spousal Consent. If any Key Holder is married on the date of this Agreement, such Key Holder’s spouse shall execute and deliver to the Parent a consent of spouse in the form of Exhibit B hereto (“Consent of Spouse”), effective on the date hereof. Notwithstanding the execution and delivery thereof, such consent shall not be deemed to confer or convey to the spouse any rights in such Key Holder’s Shares that do not otherwise exist by

 

7


operation of law or the agreement of the Parties. If any Key Holder should marry or remarry subsequent to the date of this Agreement, such Key Holder shall within thirty (30) days thereafter obtain his/her new spouse’s acknowledgement of and consent to the existence and binding effect of all restrictions contained in this Agreement by causing such spouse to execute and deliver a Consent of Spouse acknowledging the restrictions and obligations contained in this Agreement and agreeing and consenting to the same.

7.14.    No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in the Parent or any other Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the applicable Key Holders, and neither the Parent nor any other Person shall have any power or authority to direct any Key Holder in the voting of any of the Shares, except as otherwise provided herein.

7.15.    Legend on Share Certificates. The Key Holders agree that a legend shall be included on each certificate representing Shares reading substantially as follows:

“THE SHARES EVIDENCED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT, AS MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, (A COPY OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED UPON WRITTEN REQUEST FROM THE COMPANY), WHICH REQUIRES CERTAIN TRANSFEREES OF SUCH SHARES TO BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THAT VOTING AGREEMENT.”

Parent shall supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement to any holder of a certificate evidencing Shares upon written request from such holder to the Parent at its principal office. The Parties hereby agree that the failure to cause a certificate evidencing Shares to bear the legend required by this Section and/or the failure of the Parent to supply, free of charge, a copy of this Agreement as provided hereunder shall not affect the validity or enforcement of this Agreement.
