During the term of this Agreement, the Trust shall not, directly or indirectly, (a) grant any proxies, or enter into any voting trust or other Contract, with respect to the voting of any of the Covered Shares, or (b) Transfer any of the Covered Shares, Beneficial Ownership thereof or any other interest therein.

 

4.2              Stock Dividends, etc. In the event of a reclassification, recapitalization, reorganization, stock split (including a reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares or other similar transaction, or if any stock dividend or stock distribution is declared, in each case affecting the Covered Shares, the terms “Trust Common Shares” and “Covered Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities of the Company into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in such transaction.

Any such shares shall automatically become subject to the terms of this Agreement as Covered Shares as though owned by the Trust as of the date hereof.

 

4.3              No Solicitation. Each of the Trust and Mr. Jonas hereby agrees that neither it nor he shall, directly or indirectly, take any action that the Company is otherwise prohibited from taking under Section 5.2(a) of the Merger Agreement (which, for the avoidance of doubt, for the purposes of this Article 4 only, shall be deemed to be the Merger Agreement in effect on the date hereof).

Each of the Trust and Mr. Jonas hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Merger Sub, the Company, any of the other parties to the Merger Agreement or any of their respective successors relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Merger, including any proceeding (a) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or (b) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the negotiation and entry into this Agreement or the Merger Agreement. Each of the Trust and Mr. Jonas hereby (i) irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to exercise, assert or perfect, any rights to demand appraisal of the Covered Shares or rights of dissent, and (ii) agrees to receive payment for the Covered Shares under the Merger Agreement.

 

4.5              Further Assurances. In addition to Section 4.3, during the term of this Agreement, from time to time, at Parent’s request and without further consideration, the Trust shall execute and deliver such additional documents and take all such further action as may be reasonably necessary to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Trust and Mr. Jonas each hereby authorizes Parent and the Company to publish and disclose in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus and in any other announcement or disclosure required by applicable Law the Trust’s and Mr. Jonas’ identity and ownership of the Covered Shares and the nature of the Trust’s and Mr. Jonas’ obligations under this Agreement; provided, that in advance of any such announcement or disclosure, the Trust and Mr. Jonas shall each be afforded a reasonable opportunity to review and approve (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) such announcement or disclosure. Each of the Trust and Mr. Jonas agrees to notify Parent and the Company as promptly as reasonably practicable of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by the Trust and Mr. Jonas specifically for use in any such disclosure document. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law or listing agreement with a national securities exchange or a Governmental Entity, the Company and Parent will not make any other disclosures regarding the Trust or Mr. Jonas in any press release or otherwise without the prior written consent of the Trust and Mr. Jonas (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(a)                THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH PRINCIPLES WOULD DIRECT A MATTER TO ANOTHER JURISDICTION. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) solely in respect of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement or of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto irrevocably agree that all claims relating to such action, proceeding or transactions shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware state or federal court. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted by Law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the manner provided in Section 5.3 or in such other manner as may be permitted by Law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

 

(b)               EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES 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 SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

5.6              Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any way except by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto. Each party may waive any right of such party hereunder by an instrument in writing signed by such party and delivered to the other parties hereto.

 

5.7              Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to any Person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction.

 

5.8              Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported assignment in violation of this Agreement is void. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer on any Person other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and permitted assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

5.9              Interpretation; Construction.

 

(a)                The headings herein are for convenience of reference only, do not constitute part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or otherwise affect any of the provisions of this Agreement. Where a reference in this Agreement is made to a Section or Exhibit, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”

 

(b)               The parties have participated jointly in negotiating and drafting this Agreement. In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement.

 

5.10          Trust Capacity. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein by the Trust are made solely with respect to the Trust and the Covered Shares. The Trust is entering into this Agreement solely in its capacity as the Beneficial Owner of such Covered Shares and nothing herein shall limit or affect any actions taken by any officer or director of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company) solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company (or a Subsidiary of the Company), including, without limitation, to the extent applicable, participating in his or her capacity as a director of the Company in any discussions or negotiations in accordance with Section 5.2(b) of the Merger Agreement. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by the Trust or Mr. Jonas pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

5.11          Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts shall together constitute the same agreement. Facsimile signatures or signatures received as a .pdf attachment to electronic mail shall be treated as original signatures for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

5.12          Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement shall be paid by the party incurring such cost or expense.

 

5.13          Specific Performance. The parties to this Agreement agree that irreparable damage would occur if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such non-performance or breach. It is accordingly agreed that the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chosen Courts, without proof of damages or otherwise, this being in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, and the parties to this Agreement hereby waive any requirement for the posting of any bond or similar collateral in connection therewith. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that or otherwise assert that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at law or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
