Each Stockholder hereby authorizes the Investor to direct the Company to impose stop transfer or similar orders to prevent the Transfer of any Stockholder Shares on the books of the Company in violation of this Agreement.

 

 

(b) Each Stockholder agrees that any shares of the Company and any other shares of capital stock or other equity of the Company that such Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which such Stockholder otherwise acquires voting power shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Stockholder Shares as of the date of this Agreement, and such Stockholder shall promptly notify the Company of the existence of any such after acquired Stockholder Shares.

The fair market value of any non-cash consideration consisting of:

 

(i) securities listed on a national securities exchange shall be equal to the volume weighted average of the closing prices per share of such security as reported on such exchange for each of the five (5) trading days prior to the date of consummation of such Superior Proposal; and

 

 

(ii) non-cash consideration which is other than securities of the type specified in subclause (i) above shall be equal to the amount a reasonable, willing buyer would pay a reasonable, willing seller, taking into account the nature and terms of such property as separately agreed to in good faith by the Investor or the Sellers’ Representative, as applicable, and each Stockholder.

The fees and expenses of the investment banking firm shall be borne by the party whose proposal is not selected by the relevant bank for the purpose of determining fair market value. Save for the foregoing, each party to the dispute shall be solely responsible for all fees, expenses, costs and charges incurred by or on behalf of it in connection with such determination.

 

5.4. In the event that the Company shall declare and pay a stock or extraordinary dividend or other distribution, or effect a stock split, reverse stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or other like change with respect to Stockholder Shares, the calculations set forth in this Section 5 shall be adjusted to reflect fully such dividend, distribution, stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or other like change and the value of any such dividend, distribution, stock split, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization, combination or other like change (including any residual interest in the Company whether represented by the Stockholder Shares or other securities of the Company) shall be considered in determining the Profit as provided in this Section 5.

 

5.5. Any payment to the Profit Sharing Recipients hereunder shall be made in the same form as the consideration received by the applicable Stockholder from the Superior Proposal (and, if the consideration so received was in more than one form, then in the same proportion as the forms of consideration so received); provided, however, that each Stockholder shall pay in cash any amount of Profit attributed to Stockholder’s residual or remaining interest, if any, in the Company. Any payment to be made hereunder (i) in cash, shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account specified in writing by the applicable Profit Sharing Recipient, and (ii) in the form of securities or other property, shall be paid through delivery of the securities or other property received, suitably endorsed for transfer, and free and clear of any and all Liens (other than those imposed by, through or under the Superior Proposal or as required by law, as the case may be).

 

5.6. Each Stockholder agrees that, in connection with any Superior Proposal, the price per share of Common Stock received by, and the form of consideration or, if applicable, the right to make an election as to the form of consideration received by, such Stockholder in such Superior Proposal shall be identical to the price per share of Common Stock received by, and the form of consideration or, if applicable, the right to make an election as to the form of consideration received by, the other holders of Common Stock in connection with such Superior Proposal.

 

 

5.7. Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, in the case of any Superior Proposal that is not treated as a fully taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes where all equity interests in the Company held by Capitol Acquisition Founder IV, LLC (“Capitol Founder”) or Capitol Acquisition Management IV, LLC (“Capitol Management”) are converted to cash, the amount of cash or other property required to be delivered by Capitol Founder or Capitol Management, as applicable, to a Profit Share Recipient pursuant to this Section 5 shall be reduced by the amount of Tax (if any) that would be payable by Capitol Founder or Capitol Management, as applicable, in connection with its receipt and payment to such Profit Share Recipient of an amount of cash and other property equal to the portion of its Profit payable to such Profit Share Recipient, taking into account any contemporaneous tax savings (including reduced gain in connection with the Superior Proposal) resulting from payment over to such Profit Share Recipient, assuming for this purpose that Capitol Founder or Capitol Management, as applicable, is subject to the highest combined U.S. federal, state and local income tax rates applicable to an individual tax resident in New York, NY with respect to the type of income in question; provided that such Stockholder shall provide such Profit Share Recipient with a reasonable explanation and calculation of the Tax amount.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY.

 

 

6.5. Amendments and Supplements. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented at any time by additional written agreements signed by the Investor and any one or more Stockholder(s), which written agreement(s) shall be effective against each of the parties that has signed such written agreement(s), as may be determined by such parties to be necessary, desirable or expedient to further the purpose of this Agreement or to clarify the intention of the parties.

 

6.6. Failure or Delay Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No provision of this Agreement may be waived except by a written instrument signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be effective. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer on behalf of such party. No failure or delay on the party of any party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement are cumulative to, and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

6.7. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Investor (in the case of an assignment by any Stockholder) or each Stockholder (in the case of any assignment by the Investor). Any purported assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be null and void ab initio. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

6.8. Headings. The headings and table of contents contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

6.9. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the foregoing can be accomplished without materially affecting the economic benefits anticipated by the parties to this Agreement. 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 to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

 

 

6.10. Specific Performance.

 

(a) The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the parties would not have any adequate remedy at Law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall, prior to termination in accordance with Section 6.15, be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, without proving actual damages, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to seek to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto (i) agrees that it shall not oppose the granting of any such relief and will not raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the covenants and obligations of such Stockholder under this Agreement and (ii) hereby irrevocably waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such relief (it is understood that clause (i) of this sentence is not intended to, and shall not, preclude any party hereto from litigating on the merits the substantive claim to which such remedy relates).

 

(b) The parties hereto further agree that (i) by seeking the remedies provided for in this Section 6.10, no party shall in any respect waive it rights to seek any other form of relief that may be available to it under this Agreement (including damages) in the event that this Agreement has been terminated or in the event that the remedies provided for in this Section 6.10 are not available or otherwise are not granted, and (ii) nothing set forth in this Agreement shall require a party to institute any Proceeding (or limit a party’s right to institute Proceedings for) for specific performance under this Section 6.10 prior to pursuing any other form of relief referred to in the preceding clause (i).

 

6.11. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH STOCKHOLDER AND THE INVESTOR ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OF THE DOCUMENTS AND INSTRUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY, OR THE ACTIONS OF A STOCKHOLDER OR THE INVESTOR IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT. EACH STOCKHOLDER AND THE INVESTOR CERTIFY AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (b) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (c) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.11.

 

 

6.12. Costs and Expenses. Each party to this Agreement will pay his, her or its own costs and expenses (including legal, accounting and other fees) relating to the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

 

6.13. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between any of the parties hereto. Except as otherwise provide in Section 2, no party is by virtue of this Agreement authorized as an agent, employee or legal representative of any other party. Without in any way limiting the rights or obligations of any party hereto under this Agreement, prior to the consummation of the Closing and the Acquisition Closing (i) no party shall have the power by virtue of this Agreement to control the activities and operations of any other, and (ii) except as otherwise provided in Section 2, no party shall have any power or authority by virtue of this Agreement to bind or commit any other party. No party shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section 6.13.

 

6.14. Public Announcements. Except as required by Law or by the requirements of any stock exchange on which the securities of any Stockholder or any of its Affiliates are listed, no Stockholder will make, or cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement or otherwise communicate with any news media with respect to the foregoing without the Investor’s prior written consent. Each Stockholder consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by the Company of such Stockholder’s identity and holding of the Stockholder Shares, and the terms of this Agreement (including, for avoidance of doubt, the disclosure of this Agreement), in any press release, the Proxy Statement, and any other disclosure document required in connection with the Investment, the Investment Agreement, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

6.15. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (a) the mutual agreement of each of the parties hereto and the Sellers’ Representative, (b) the consummation of the Closing and the Acquisition Closing and (c) the termination of the Investment Agreement in accordance with its terms; provided that (i) if the Investment Agreement is terminated under circumstances where the Investor is or may be entitled to receive the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 7.2(b) of the Investment Agreement, then (A) Section 5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and (B) Section 4 shall survive so long as Section 5 survives, (ii) nothing herein shall relieve or release any party hereto from any obligations or liabilities for any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement prior to its termination and (iii) this Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

 

6.16. Mutual Drafting; Interpretation. The provisions of Sections 1.2 and 7.4(i) of the Investment Agreement shall apply mutatis mutandis to this Agreement.

 

6.17. Capacity as Stockholder. Each Stockholder signs this Agreement solely in such Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company, and not in such Stockholder’s or any of its Affiliates’ capacity as a director (including “director by deputization”), officer or employee of the Company, if applicable. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit or affect any actions or inactions by any representative of Stockholder serving as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, acting in such person’s capacity as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, including taking any action with respect to any Acquisition Proposal as a member of such Board (it being understood and agreed that the Investment Agreement contains provisions that govern the actions or inactions by the directors of the Company with respect to the Investment and the other Contemplated Transactions).
