1.       Contribution of Rollover Shares. Subject to the conditions set forth herein, immediately after the Offer is consummated and without further action by the Transferor, Transferor shall contribute and assign to Holdings all of Transferor’s right, title and interest in the Rollover Shares set forth opposite Transferor’s name and designated as Rollover Shares on Schedule I attached hereto, free and clear of all Liens (other than any restrictions under the Securities Act). Transferor shall deliver any certificates representing the Rollover Shares to Holdings along with appropriate endorsements in blank or other duly executed instruments of transfer.

2.       Receipt of Holdings Shares. Transferor and Holdings hereby agree that, concurrently with the effective time of Transferor’s contribution of the Rollover Shares to Holdings, Transferor shall receive validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable Holdings Shares (in the amount set forth on Schedule I hereto and having terms consistent with the Rollover Terms) in respect of Transferor’s Rollover Shares. In furtherance of the foregoing, Transferor and Holdings agree to (a) negotiate in good faith a definitive stockholders agreement with terms consistent in all material respects with the Rollover Terms and work in good faith to finalize the form of such stockholders agreement (such stockholders agreement, the “Stockholders Agreement”) not later than the date (the “Target Completion Date”) that is the earlier of: (i) the consummation of the Offer and (ii) any meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which such stockholders are asked to vote on the approval of the Merger Agreement, as contemplated by Section 3(b)(i) of the Support Agreement, (b) negotiate in good faith a definitive amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Holdings and bylaws of Holdings, each with terms consistent in all material respects with the Rollover Terms (such amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Holdings, the “Governing Documents”) and work in good faith to finalize the Governing Documents not later than the Target Completion Date, (c) execute and deliver the Stockholders Agreement and approve the Governing Documents not later than concurrently with the Contribution Closing, (d) in the case of Holdings, file (or cause to be filed) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of Holdings included in the Governing Documents, not later than concurrently with the Contribution Closing and (e) execute and deliver a definitive subscription agreement in a form customary for the type of transaction contemplated hereby, immediately prior to the Contribution Closing.

3.       Closing. Subject to the satisfaction in full (or waiver) of all of the Offer Conditions and the conditions set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement (other than conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied at the Closing), as determined in the reasonable discretion of Parent (after consultation in good faith with Transferor of any waiver by Parent of such unsatisfied condition), the closing of the contribution and exchange contemplated hereby (the “Contribution Closing”) shall take place within 48 hours prior to the Closing.

Not later than three (3) Business Days prior to the consummation of the Offer, Transferor and any agent of the Transferor holding certificates evidencing any Rollover Shares (including without limitation, any broker holding securities in “street name”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holdings all certificates representing Rollover Shares in such Persons’ possession, (a) duly endorsed for transfer or (b) with executed

stock powers, both reasonably acceptable in form to Holdings and sufficient to transfer such shares to Holdings, for disposition in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or if any of the Rollover Shares are uncertificated, then Transferor shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Holdings instructions addressed to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent, as applicable, providing for the transfer of such Rollover Shares as set forth in this Agreement (the “Share Documents”). The Share Documents shall be held in escrow by Holdings or any agent authorized by Holdings until the Contribution Closing.

5.       Irrevocable Election.

5.1.     The execution of this Agreement by the Transferor evidences, subject to Section 7 hereof, the irrevocable election and agreement by Transferor to contribute Transferor’s Rollover Shares in exchange for Holdings Shares at the Contribution Closing on the terms and conditions (including the Rollover Terms) set forth herein. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Transferor covenants and agrees that from the date hereof until any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Transferor shall not, directly or indirectly knowingly take any action that would make any representation or warranty of Transferor set forth in this Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing, disabling, or delaying Transferor from performing any of Transferor’s obligations under this Agreement. Transferor acknowledges and agrees that, as of the date hereof, the Support Agreement remains in full force and effect.

5.2.     Transferor covenants and agrees that it shall promptly (and in any event within 24 hours) notify Holdings of any new shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Rollover Shares with respect to which beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) is acquired by Transferor as a result of a stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, or exchange or change of such shares, if any, after the date hereof. Any such shares of Common Stock issued in respect of the Rollover Shares shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement and be deemed Rollover Shares hereunder, and Schedule I shall be deemed amended accordingly.

6.       Representations and Warranties of the Transferor. To induce Holdings to accept the Rollover Shares and Holdings to issue the Holdings Shares pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including the Rollover Terms, Transferor makes the following representations and warranties to Holdings, each and all of which shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Contribution Closing, and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement:

6.1.     Ownership of Shares. As of the Contribution Closing, (i) Transferor will be the record owner of, and have good and valid title to, the Rollover Shares, free and clear of Liens other than as created by this Agreement and the Support Agreement; (ii) Stanfield, Transferor’s managing member, will have sole voting power, sole power of disposition, and sole power to demand dissenter’s rights (if applicable), in each case with respect to all of the Rollover Shares, with no limitations, qualifications, or restrictions on such rights, subject to applicable United States federal securities laws, laws of the State of Delaware and the terms of this Agreement and the Support Agreement; and (iii) Transferor will not be subject to any voting trust agreement or other Contract to which the Transferor is a party restricting or otherwise

 

3


relating to the voting or transfer of the Rollover Shares other than this Agreement and the Support Agreement. As of the date hereof, other than the Rollover Shares, the Transferor does not own, beneficially or of record, any securities of the Company, or any direct or indirect interest in any such securities (including by way of derivative securities) other than those set forth on Schedule I under the heading “Other Shares”. The Transferor has not appointed or granted any proxy or power of attorney that will be in effect as of the Contribution Closing with respect to any Rollover Shares except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Support Agreement.

6.2.     Organization, Standing and Authority. Transferor has full legal power and capacity to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Transferor’s obligations hereunder. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by Transferor and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Holdings, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Transferor, enforceable against Transferor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

6.3.     Consents and Approvals; No Violations. Except for the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act or as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (i) no filing with, and no permit, authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is necessary on the part of Transferor for the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Transferor or the consummation by Transferor of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) neither the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by Transferor nor the consummation by Transferor of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance by Transferor with any of the provisions hereof shall (A) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on property or assets of Transferor pursuant to any Contract to which Transferor is a party or by which Transferor or any property or asset of Transferor is bound or affected, or (B) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to Transferor or any of Transferor’s properties or assets.

6.4.     Litigation. As of the date hereof, there is no action, suit, investigation, complaint or other proceeding pending against Transferor or, to the knowledge of Transferor, any other Person or, to the knowledge of Transferor, threatened against Transferor or any other Person that restricts or prohibits (or, if successful, would restrict or prohibit) the performance by Transferor of its obligations under this Agreement.

6.5.     Reliance. Transferor understands and acknowledges that Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon Transferor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of Transferor contained herein.

hereby and the merits and risks of owning the Holdings Shares. Transferor acknowledges that it has been advised to discuss with its own counsel the meaning and legal consequences of Transferor’s representations and warranties in this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Transferor has not relied on Holdings, Parent or Merger Sub, or their officers, directors or professional advisors, for advice as to such consequences (including with respect to taxes).

7.       Termination. This Agreement, and the obligation of Transferor to contribute, transfer, assign and deliver the Rollover Shares, will terminate immediately upon the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Article VIII thereof or the withdrawal of the Offer; provided, however, that the parties shall continue to have liability for breaches of this Agreement occurring prior to the termination of this Agreement. If for any reason the Merger Agreement is terminated but the Contribution Closing has already taken place, then Holdings shall promptly return the Share Documents to Transferor at Transferor’s address set forth on the signature page to the Subscription Agreement and take all such actions as are necessary to restore Transferor to the position it was in with respect to ownership of the Rollover Shares prior to the Contribution Closing, following which this Agreement will terminate.

8.       Disclosure. Transferor hereby (a) consents to and authorizes the publication and disclosure by Holdings, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company (including in the Offer Documents, the Schedule 14D-9 or any other publicly filed document relating to the Offer, the Merger, the Notes or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the NPA) of (i) Transferor’s identity, (ii) Transferor’s beneficial ownership of Rollover Shares (including the number of such Rollover Shares beneficially owned by Transferor), and (iii) the nature of Transferor’s commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement, and any other information that Holdings, Parent, Merger Sub or the Company reasonably determines to be required in any publicly filed document in connection with the Offer, the Merger, the Notes or otherwise with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or the NPA (provided that Holdings will provide, or cause to be provided, to Transferor a draft of any document containing such disclosure a reasonable time prior to the publication, disclosure or filing thereof and will consider in good faith any comments provided by Transferor or its counsel), and (b) agrees as promptly as practicable to notify Holdings, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by Transferor specifically for use in any such disclosure document. During the term of this Agreement, Transferor agrees that it will consult with Holdings before issuing any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, except as may be required in connection with the Offer in any Form 4, Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G (including any amendments to the foregoing forms and schedules) or other disclosure required by the SEC or other Governmental Entity to be made by Transferor in connection with the Offer, provided that to the extent permissible, Transferor shall deliver to Holdings a copy of each such Form 4, Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G (including any amendments to the foregoing forms and schedules) or other disclosure so required prior to filing the same.

Initially, WndrCo will have the right to designate four directors; GC will have the right to designate one director (the “GC Director”); iSub will have the right to designate one director (the “iSub Director”) and the Rollover Holders (holding a majority of the Interests initially held by the Rollover Holders at Closing) will have the right to designate one director, who shall be Michael R. Stanfield for so long as such designation right exists and he desires to serve and is not subject to a material disability (the “Rollover Director”). Additionally, the Rollover Holders will be entitled to designate one non-voting Board observer with customary observation and information rights for all board and committee meetings, subject to customary protections to preserve the attorney-client privilege.

 

2)  At such time that WndrCo ceases to own at least 50% of the Series A Interests that it held at the Initial Closing (or, following the Closing, at the Closing), WndrCo will be entitled to designate only two directors; at such time that GC or iSub, as applicable, ceases to own at least 25% of the Series A Interests, in each case that it held at the Initial Closing (or, following the Closing, at the Closing), then GC or iSub, as applicable, will cease to have the right to appoint any directors; at such time that the Rollover Holders cease to own at least 25% of the Interests that they held at the Closing, then the Rollover Holders will cease to have the right to appoint any directors; and at such time that WndrCo ceases to own at least 10% of the Series A Interests that it held at the Initial Closing (or, following the Closing, at the Closing), WndrCo will cease to have the right to appoint any directors. At any time that a Sponsor or Loeb Holding Corporation (“LHC”) does not have the right to appoint any directors but continues to hold equity in Company, such Sponsor or LHC, as applicable, will have the right to appoint one non-voting observer to the Board with customary observation and information rights for all Board and Committee meetings, subject to customary protections to preserve the attorney-client privilege.

 

3)  For so long as a Sponsor is or the Rollover Holders are, as the case may be, entitled to appoint a director, each will be entitled to have a single director on each committee of the Board.

 

4)  Directors will be entitled to customary indemnification agreements, D&O insurance, expense reimbursement and any other similar

matters on an equivalent basis.

B. Board Approvals; Quorum

  

 

1)  Each director will be entitled to one vote on all matters presented for a vote to the Board. All votes by the Board will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board for approval.

 

2)  A quorum shall exist if a majority of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board is present, as long as the GC Director is present (for so long as GC has a right to appoint a director) and one iSub Director is present (for so long as iSub has a right to appoint a director); provided that if at any Board meeting the GC Director or iSub Director was not present, then the immediately succeeding Board meeting duly called (with at least two business days’ notice) may proceed with a simple majority of the total number of directors constituting the entire Board.

 

3)  Special meetings of the Board shall require at least two business days’ prior notice.

These tag-along rights will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of a Qualified Public Offering.

 

I.   Drag-Along Rights:

2)  Such cooperation will include each equityholder voting its Interests to approve the transaction, waiving any dissenter or appraisal rights, selling its Interests in the transaction and entering into any sale agreements necessary for consummation of the transaction as requested by WndrCo; provided that such equityholder receives the same consideration in such sale as other equityholders holding the same class or series of units, that any such consideration is distributed among the equityholders through a hypothetical liquidation waterfall, and that such agreements limit each equityholder’s indemnification obligations to the amount of net proceeds received by such equityholder in such transaction on a several basis and other customary protections.

 

3)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of GC and the Rollover Holders shall not be required to agree to a non-compete or non-solicit covenant in connection with any drag-along Company Sale.

A-7


    

 

Exhibit B hereto in a transaction that is expected to be governed by Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code or, if an alternative structure is used, in a manner that preserves the intended tax treatment of the Rollover and the Newco Contribution as exchanges governed by Section 351 or other tax-free exchange provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The equityholders of Company shall cooperate in effecting the Newco Contribution to the extent approved by WndrCo.

 

2)  Such cooperation will include each equityholder voting its Interests to approve the transaction, waiving any dissenter or appraisal rights, selling its Interests in the transaction and entering into any sale agreements necessary for consummation of the transaction as requested by WndrCo.

1)  WndrCo and iSub shall cause an iSub Contribution (as defined below) to be consummated as promptly as reasonably practicable following the Closing (and, in any event, by no later than 30 days after the Closing) on the terms specified in this Section K.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Parties will treat the iSub Contribution together with the Newco Contribution as set forth in Exhibit B hereto as a transaction governed by Section 351 of the Internal Revenue Code for federal income tax reporting purposes.

 

3)  The iSub Contribution will be (i) effected at a $50 million valuation of iSub (as adjusted reasonably and in good faith for net cash (or net debt) then held by iSub), with the full purchase consideration (in the form of Interests) payable in full upon closing of the iSub Contribution (without escrow) and (ii) consistent with the

 

 

A-8


    

 

capitalization set forth in Exhibit C hereto (subject to the assumptions set forth therein).

There will be no post-Closing indemnification obligations on the part of the iSub Participants other than for intentional breaches or fraud. WndrCo and each of the equityholders of the Company shall cooperate in good faith, and make themselves reasonably available, to negotiate the definitive documentation governing the iSub Contribution promptly thereafter, with the intent of having such definitive documentation in substantially final form as soon as possible and in any event prior to the Closing.

 

5)  The equityholders of Company shall cooperate in effecting the iSub Contribution to the extent reasonably requested by WndrCo and iSub, with such cooperation to include each equityholder voting its Interests to approve the transaction, waiving any dissenter or appraisal rights, contributing its Interests to a new wholly owned subsidiary, and entering into any sale, contribution or other agreements necessary for consummation of the transaction as requested by WndrCo.

 

6)  In the event of a breach of the obligations in this Section K by WndrCo, then iSub or GC may bring a claim for breach of this Section K (a “Claim”) against WndrCo in accordance with this Section K and Sections 8 (“Governing Law”), 9 (“Submission to Jurisdiction”) and 10 (“Waiver of Jury Trial”) of the letter agreement. Provided that no such Claim has been brought by iSub or GC, if (x) iSub and GC have each complied with their obligations hereunder and (y) the iSub Contribution is not consummated by the 30th day following the Closing (the “Put Time”), then during the 30-

 

 

A-9


    

 

day period following the Put Time, each of iSub and GC shall have the right to notify Company of its election to put 100% of the Interests held by iSub or GC, as applicable, as of the Closing (a “Put Sale”). A Put Sale shall be consummated within five days of notification of such Put Sale at a purchase price for each Interest equal to the Series A-2 OIP (other than the Series A-1 Interests, which will be at the Series A-1 Conversion Price), and shall, if properly elected by iSub or GC, as applicable, be the sole and exclusive recourse of iSub (and its affiliates) or GC (and its affiliates), as applicable, on the one hand, and WndrCo (and its affiliates), on the other hand, for any breach by such other Sponsor of this Section K.

 

7)  In the event of a breach of the obligations in this Section K by iSub and/or GC, then WndrCo may bring a Claim against iSub and/or GC, as applicable, in accordance with this Section K and Sections 8 (“Governing Law”), 9 (“Submission to Jurisdiction”) and 10 (“Waiver of Jury Trial”) of the letter agreement.
