No delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any such delay, omission or waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.

Section 6.9 Other Agreements; Assignment. This Agreement, together with the agreements referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and statements, both written and oral, among the parties or any of their Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (other than the Merger Agreement and the other agreements expressly referred to herein or therein as being entered into in connection with the Merger Agreement). This Agreement shall not be assigned by any party hereto without the prior written consent of Parent.

Section 6.10 Non-Circumvention. Each party hereto agrees that it shall not indirectly accomplish that which it is not permitted to accomplish directly under this Agreement.

Section 6.11 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be binding on each party hereto solely for the benefit of each other party hereto and nothing set forth in this Agreement, express or implied, shall be construed to confer, directly or indirectly, upon or give to any Person other than the parties hereto any benefits, rights or remedies under or by reason of, or any rights to enforce or cause the parties hereto to enforce, any provisions of this Agreement, except the Non-Recourse Parties shall have the right to enforce their rights pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.5.

Section 6.12 Confidentiality. Except as permitted under this paragraph, each Additional Holder (the “Recipient”) shall not, and shall direct its Affiliates and Representatives to not, disclose any Confidential Information obtained in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of Parent; provided that the Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information (i) to any of its Affiliates and Representatives who need to know such Confidential Information in connection with advising such Holder with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, in each case, (prior to such disclosure) have agreed, or are bound by obligations at least as stringent as the obligations herein, to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information as set out herein or (ii) to the extent required by applicable Law, provided Recipient shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, inform Parent of such required disclosure, request confidential treatment of any such disclosure and reasonably cooperate with Parent at Parent’s expense to minimize any such disclosure. “Confidential Information” refers to all information obtained in confidence by one Holder from any other Holder, Parent, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates or Representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions (including the identity of the Holders and the beneficial owners thereof), unless such information (a) is already or becomes known to the receiving Holder prior to the disclosure thereof, (b) is provided to the receiving Holder by a third party which is not known by such receiving Holder to be bound by a duty of confidentiality with respect to such information, (c) is or becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this Agreement by such receiving Holder, or (d) is developed independently by or for the receiving Holder without using any Confidential Information.

Section 6.13 Public Disclosures. Except with the prior written consent of Parent or solely to the extent required by applicable Law, no Additional Holder shall issue any press release or otherwise make any public statement with respect to this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby without the prior written consent of each of the other Holders. In the event that an Holder becomes obligated to issue a press release or otherwise make a public statement as described in the preceding sentence, it shall, to the extent permitted by law, (x) notify as promptly as possible Parent and the Sponsors of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such obligation; (y) consult with Parent and the Sponsors on the content of such press release or other public statement; and (z) include the name of any other Holders in such press release or other public statement only to the extent legally compelled to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Holder may make any beneficial ownership filings or other filings with the SEC, or amendments thereto, in respect of the Company and its securities, that such Holder reasonably believes is required under applicable law without the prior written consent of Parent, provided that each such Holder shall coordinate with the other Holders in good faith regarding the content and timing of such filings or amendments in connection with this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

 

13


Section 6.14 Power of Attorney. Each Additional Holder, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints Parent (and such other Persons as may from time to time be designated by Parent) with full power of substitution and resubstitution, such Additional Holder’s true and lawful proxy, agent and attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in such Additional Holder’s name, place and stead, to execute, swear to, acknowledge, deliver, file and record all instruments and other documents and do such other acts which Parent reasonably deems appropriate or necessary to effect or evidence contribution and deposit of the Rollover Shares in accordance with Article I, its covenants in accordance with Article III, and the other actions and obligations required of such Additional Holder pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, and such power of attorney may be exercised at any time and from time to time from the date hereof until the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.17. The foregoing power of attorney is irrevocable and coupled with an interest, and shall survive such Additional Holder’s death, disability, incapacity, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or termination and the transfer of all or any portion of its Company Common Stock and shall extend to such Additional Holder’s heirs, successors, assigns and personal representatives, and any person dealing with Parent may conclusively and absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any act of the Parent as the act of Parent in the matters referred to in this paragraph. Other than as provided in this paragraph, each Additional Holder shall not, directly or indirectly, grant any Person any proxy (revocable or irrevocable), power of attorney or other authorization with respect to any of its Rollover Shares. Parent may terminate this proxy with respect to any Additional Holder at any time at its sole election by written notice provided to the Additional Holder.

Section 6.15 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including by facsimile or electronic transmission in “portable document format”), each such counterpart when executed shall be deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.16 Headings. The descriptive headings used herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 6.17 Termination. Except with respect to Section 4.1 (Representations and Warranties of each Holder) and this Article VI (Miscellaneous), this Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (a) the Merger Closing, (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, and (c) September 30, 2024; provided, that any liability for any failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to termination shall survive such termination.

Section 6.18 No Presumption Against Drafting Party. Each of the Parties to this Agreement acknowledges that it has been represented by independent counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would require interpretation of any claimed ambiguities in this Agreement against the drafting party has no application and is expressly waived.

 

14


Section 6.19 No Partnership. Except as expressly contemplated herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, and this Agreement shall not, create a partnership between the parties hereto. Accordingly, (i) the rights, obligations and duties of each party hereto in relation to the other parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be only those contractual rights, obligations and duties that are created by the express terms of this Agreement and shall not include any fiduciary or other implied rights, obligations or duties of any kind, (ii) no party hereto shall be authorized to act on behalf of the other parties except as otherwise expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement and (iii) no party hereto shall be obligated to any third party for the obligations or liabilities of any other party hereto.

Section 6.20 Intended Tax Treatment. For U.S. federal, and applicable state and local income tax purposes each of the contributions of Rollover Shares hereunder, taken collectively, shall be treated as an integrated transaction qualifying under Section 351(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Section 6.21 Notices.

Exhibit A

Shareholder Agreement Term Sheet

 

Documentation:    At closing, Parent and the Holders will enter into a Shareholder Agreement containing the terms summarized below.
Security:    The Holders will all hold equity interests (“Shares”) in Parent of the same class, type and preference, and at the same price per Share. The parties intend for the Shares to be common stock and for Parent to be a Delaware corporation.
Board:    The board of directors of Parent (the “Board”) will be elected by Holders holding a majority of Parent’s then-outstanding Shares. Subject to the foregoing, the parties desire for the members of the Board to be substantially similar to those in effect prior to the Transactions.
Transfer:    No Additional Holder may directly or indirectly Transfer, other than to customary affiliates, any Shares without the prior written consent of the Board. Transfers by an Additional Holder to which the Board consents will also be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Parent.
Tag-Along:    Each Holder will have customary tag-along rights in connection with Transfers by a Holder to non-affiliates, subject to customary exceptions.
Drag-Along:    If the Board proposes to Transfer to a non-affiliate all or any portion of the outstanding Shares or all or substantially all of the assets or business of Parent and its subsidiaries (in each case including in connection with an initial public offering), the Board will have the right to cause each Holder, to the extent applicable, to vote in favor of, reasonably cooperate with, waive any appraisal rights in respect of, and not oppose such transaction, in each case subject to customary limitations for the Holders being dragged.
Preemptive Rights:    If Parent wishes to issue any equity of Parent or its subsidiaries, each Holder holding at least 1% of Parent’s then-outstanding Shares will have preemptive rights to its pro rata portion of such Shares (or equivalents), subject to customary exceptions.
Information Rights:    Parent will provide to each Holder holding at least 5% of Parent’s then-outstanding Shares quarterly unaudited financial reports and annual audited financial reports, subject to customary limitations.


Management:    Parent will have the right to repurchase Shares held by employees or service providers who are terminated or voluntarily terminate employment with the Company on terms customary for transactions of this nature (including satisfaction of all or a portion of the purchase price with a subordinated note on customary terms). Additional Holders who are employees or service providers will also agree to confidentiality, non-compete and non-solicit restrictive covenants on customary terms effective until one year following the date on which they no longer hold Shares and are no longer an employee or service provider.
Amendments:    The Shareholder Agreement may be amended or waived by Holders holding a majority of the then-outstanding Shares, provided, subject to customary exceptions, no amendment or waiver will apply to any Holders disproportionately adversely effected thereby, relative to the Holders approving such amendment or waiver, without the prior written consent of the Holders holdings of a majority of the Shares held by such disproportionately adversely effected Holders.
Expenses:    Parent will be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses incurred by the Sponsors in connection with the Transactions.
