Without the prior written consent of each Purchaser (which consent may be withheld at such Purchaser’s sole discretion) until the earlier of (x) the date of the Closing and (y) the date on which this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, the Corporation agrees not to (and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any employee, officer, director, partner, agent, trustee, representative or other Person acting on its behalf or any entity under its control or at its direction to), directly or indirectly, sell or agree to sell to any other Person, discuss or negotiate with any other Person a possible sale of, or solicit or accept any offer to purchase from any other Person, all or any part of the Corporation’s or its Subsidiaries’ Equity Securities or assets (whether such transaction takes the form of an issuance or sale of common stock or other securities, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, liquidation, dissolution, refinancing, recapitalization, reorganization or otherwise), or provide any information to any other Person concerning the Corporation or its Subsidiaries.

(d) use commercially reasonable efforts to carry on the business of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries in the same manner as presently conducted and to keep the business organization and properties of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries intact (including its present business operations, physical facilities, working conditions and employees, and its present relationships with lessors, licensors, suppliers and customers and others having business relations with it);

(e) promptly (once any officer or director of the Corporation obtains knowledge thereof) inform Purchasers in writing of any material variances from the representations and warranties contained in Article 6 or any material breach of any covenant hereunder by the Corporation; and

6

Except as set forth on the Capitalization Schedule, none of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries has any outstanding Equity Securities or securities or rights containing any profit participation features, or any rights or options to subscribe for or to purchase any equity appreciation rights or phantom equity-type rights.

Except for this Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and as set forth on the Capitalization Schedule, there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Corporation and the holders of any of its Equity Securities or, to the Knowledge of the Corporation, among any other Persons with respect to the voting or transfer of the Corporation’s Equity Securities (including registration rights) or with respect to any other aspect of its governance.

6.3 Subsidiaries; Investments. The Investments and Subsidiaries Schedule correctly sets forth and describes each Investment of the Corporation in another Person (to the extent not set forth on the Capitalization Schedule) and the name of each of the Corporation’s Subsidiaries and the jurisdiction of its organization.

Except as disclosed on the Authorization and Consent Schedule or as otherwise specified in this Section 6.4, no filing, consent or authorization is required by the Corporation, the Board or its shareholders with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Corporation and constitute, and, upon execution and delivery thereof by the Corporation as contemplated herein, will constitute, legal, valid and binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable against the Corporation in accordance with their respective terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity, applicable bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’ rights and remedies or as indemnification or contribution may be limited by the securities laws and public policy relating thereto.

Except as set forth on the Liabilities Schedule, neither the Corporation nor any Subsidiary have or will have any material obligation or liability (whether accrued, absolute, contingent, unliquidated or otherwise, whether known or unknown, whether due or to become due and regardless of when asserted) arising out of any transactions entered into, at or prior to the date hereof, or any action or inaction at or prior to the date hereof, or any state of facts existing at or prior to the date hereof, other than: (a) liabilities set forth on the liabilities side of the Latest Balance Sheet (including any notes thereto), (b) liabilities and obligations which have arisen after the date of the Latest Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business (none of which is a liability resulting from noncompliance with any applicable Laws, breach of contract, breach of warranty, tort, infringement, claim or lawsuit) and (c) other liabilities that do not individually exceed $100,000 or in the aggregate exceed $250,000.

8.7 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) If any Losses for which indemnification is provided under Section 8.6 relate to a claim, demand, action, suit, countersuit, litigation, dispute, order, writ, injunction, judgment, assessment, decree, grievance, investigation or other proceeding by a third-party (a “Third-Party Claim”), the Indemnitee will give written notice of such Third-Party Claim (including a reasonable description thereof) to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) within thirty (30) days of notification of the Third-Party Claim, provided that the Indemnitee’s right to indemnification will not be waived by any failure to provide notification within such ten (10) day period, unless such failure materially prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to defend the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party will have 15 days from the receipt of such notice (the “Indemnity Acknowledgement Period”) to (i) give written notice to the Indemnitee of its intention to defend such Third-Party Claim on behalf of the Indemnitee, which notice will acknowledge the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to indemnify the Indemnitee against, and be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights) for, all liabilities and obligations relating to such Third-Party Claim (subject to the Cap where applicable), and (ii) enter into an agreement with the Indemnitee in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnitee which agreement unconditionally guarantees the payment and performance of any liability or Loss which may arise with respect to such Third-Party Claim.

(b) If notice to defend and the required acknowledgement and agreement are given by the Indemnifying Party within the Indemnity Acknowledgement Period, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to compromise or defend any such Third-Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing (provided that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee) and at its own expense; provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party will not agree to any settlement or remedy (i) that involves any remedy other than a pure monetary resolution, including, without limitation, injunctive relief against the Indemnitee or requires the Indemnitee to enter into a consent decree or (ii) requires the Indemnitee to confess to any wrongdoing, unless the Indemnitee consents in writing to such settlement or remedy. If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend any such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party

 

30


will promptly provide the Indemnitee with copies of all pleadings and filings pertinent to the Third-Party Claim. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitee; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnitee, (x) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnitee that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (y) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnitee in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnitee determines counsel is required.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party fails to give written notice to the Indemnitee within the Indemnity Acknowledgement Period of the Indemnifying Party’s intention to defend such Third-Party Claim at its own expense and acknowledging its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee against such claim or fails to defend diligently and continuously a Third-Party Claim against the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee will have the right to compromise or defend such Third-Party Claim through counsel of its own choosing, but for the account and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party.

8.8 Further Assurances. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, each of the Parties will take such further action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as any other Party may reasonably request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting Party.

8.9 Remedies. The Corporation acknowledges and agrees that the Purchasers would be damaged irreparably in the event any of the provisions of Article 1 of this Agreement are not performed by the Corporation in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise are breached and money damages would not be an adequate remedy, so long as the conditions of Article 3 and the Corporation Conditions Annex have been fulfilled by the Purchasers or waived by the Corporation. Accordingly, if the conditions of Article 3 and the Corporations Conditions Annex have been fulfilled by the Purchaser or waived by the Corporation, in addition to the other remedies available to the Purchasers, the Corporation agrees that each Purchaser shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of Article 1 of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement, and the terms and provisions hereof (without the posting of bond or other security) in any action instituted in any court of the United States or any state thereof having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter.

8.10 Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended, or any provision of this Agreement may be waived; provided that any such amendment or waiver shall be binding upon (a) the Corporation only if set forth in a writing executed by the Corporation, (b) upon a Purchaser only if set forth in a writing executed by such Purchaser, in each case referring specifically to the provision alleged to have been amended or waived. No course of dealing between or among the Parties shall be deemed effective to modify, amend or discharge any part of this Agreement or any rights or obligations of any Party under or by reason of this Agreement.

8.20 Consent to Jurisdiction.

8.21 Waiver of Jury Trial. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

The Corporation shall use reasonable efforts to avoid having assets that consist of “United States real property interests” within the meaning of Section 897 of the IRC at any time in such an amount that could cause the Corporation to become a “United States real property holding corporation” within the meaning of Section 897.

6. Public Disclosures. The Corporation shall not, nor shall it permit any Subsidiary to, disclose the name or identity of any Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof) as an investor in the Corporation in any press release or other public announcement or in any document or material filed with any governmental entity (other than tax filings in the ordinary course), without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, unless such disclosure is required by applicable law, governmental regulations, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, in which case prior to making such disclosure the Corporation shall give written notice to such Purchaser describing in reasonable detail the proposed content of such disclosure and shall permit such Purchaser to review and comment upon the form and substance of such disclosure.

 

7. Indemnification of Directors; First Resort. The indemnification provisions set forth in the Bylaws of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries are hereby incorporated by reference for the benefit of any Person that serves as a director of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries at the direction of a Purchaser. The Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, shall be the indemnitor of first resort with respect to indemnifiable claims against a person with a claim for indemnification under the By-Laws of such entity (a “Bylaw Indemnitee”) who also has rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by the Purchasers and/or certain of their respective Affiliates (the “Affiliate Indemnitors”), such that the Corporation’s obligations to such Bylaw Indemnitees are primary and any obligation of the Affiliate Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification for the same expenses or liabilities incurred by such Bylaw Indemnitee is secondary. The Corporation or its Subsidiary, as the case may be, shall advance the full amount of expenses incurred by such Bylaw Indemnitee to the extent provided for in the relevant bylaws and shall be liable for the full amount of all expenses, judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement to the extent legally permitted consistent with the relevant bylaws, without regard to any rights such Bylaw Indemnitees may have against the Affiliate Indemnitors. The Corporation hereby irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases, and will cause any of its Subsidiaries to waive, relinquish and release, the Affiliate Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Affiliate Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof. The Corporation shall indemnify the Affiliate Indemnitors directly for any amounts that the Affiliate Indemnitors pay as indemnification or advancement on behalf of any such Bylaw Indemnitee and for which such Bylaw Indemnitee may be entitled to indemnification from the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with serving as a director or officer of the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries. No advancement or payment by the Affiliate Indemnitors on behalf of any such Bylaw Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Bylaw Indemnitee has sought indemnification from the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries shall affect the obligations of the Corporation and its Subsidiaries hereunder and the Affiliate Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancement or payment to all of the rights of recovery of such Bylaw Indemnitee against the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

Covenants Annex – Page 3


9. Director and Officer Liability Insurance. The Corporation shall at all times maintain director and officer liability insurance in an amount, and upon the terms and conditions, that is customary in the industry.

 

10. Director Fees & Expenses. The Corporation shall pay or reimburse the directors elected by the Purchasers in their capacity as holders of Series C Preferred for attending meetings of the stockholders, the Board and committees thereof in the same manner as the Corporation pays (or reimburses, as applicable) for fees and expenses incurred by other directors of the Corporation.

 

11. Sufficiency of Conversion Stock. The Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock, solely for the purpose of issuance upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred, such number of shares of Conversion Stock issuable upon the conversion of all Series C Preferred that has been or may be, at the option of LM III and LM III-A, respectively, issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. All shares of Conversion Stock which are so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens, charges and encumbrances. The Corporation shall take all such actions as may be necessary to assure that all such shares of Conversion Stock may be so issued without violation of any applicable Law or any requirements of any domestic securities exchange upon which shares of Conversion Stock may be listed (except for official notice of issuance which shall be immediately delivered by the Corporation upon each such issuance). The Corporation shall not take any action which would cause the number of authorized but unissued shares of Conversion Stock to be less than the number of such shares required to be reserved under the terms of the Series C Preferred as set forth in the Certificate of Designation for issuance upon conversion of the Series C Preferred.

 

12. VCOC Rights. In the event, and to the extent that, it is reasonably determined that the rights afforded to the Purchasers pursuant to this Covenants Annex are not sufficient for purposes of the Department of Labor’s “plan assets” regulations, to the extent such plan assets regulations applies to the investment in the Series C Preferred, the Purchasers and the Corporation shall cooperate in good faith to agree upon mutually satisfactory management access and information rights which satisfy such regulations.

 

13. Redemption of TARP Shares. The Corporation shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to receive all required Governmental Approvals in order for the Corporation to use a portion of the proceeds that it receives in exchange for the Series C Preferred to redeem all of the issued and outstanding shares of the TARP Series A Preferred Stock and the TARP Series B Preferred Stock issued to the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program instituted under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, within a commercially reasonable period of time after the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.
