Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of the date of this Agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) among Parent, ACS MERGER CORP, a Minnesota corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and ANALYSTS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, a Minnesota corporation (the “Company”).

 

WHEREAS, Shareholder beneficially owns (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act, as amended) shares of common stock, $0.10 par value, of the Company (“Shares”) or options to purchase Shares;

 

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent, Merger Sub and the Company are entering into the Merger Agreement, which provides for, among other things, the making of a tender offer by Merger Sub for all of the outstanding Shares and the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Company, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein; and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent’s willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, Parent has required that Shareholder enter into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants, representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Agreement to Tender. Shareholder hereby agrees to validly tender or cause to be tendered in the Offer any and all Shares currently beneficially owned by Shareholder (excluding for purposes of this Section 1 any Shares that are the subject of unexercised Options) and any additional Shares with respect to which Shareholder becomes the beneficial owner (including whether by purchase, by the exercise of Options or otherwise) after the date of this Agreement (collectively, the “Subject Shares”) pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer no later than ten (10) Business Days following the commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement. Shareholder agrees that once its Subject Shares are tendered, Shareholder will not withdraw or cause to be withdrawn any of the Subject Shares from the Offer, unless and until this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 9(d). If the Offer or this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, Parent and Merger Sub shall cause the depository acting on behalf of Parent and Merger Sub to return all tendered Shares to the Shareholder promptly.

 

Section 2. Voting Agreement. Shareholder agrees that Shareholder shall, unless Parent votes the Shares directly pursuant to the proxy granted by Section 3 below, vote (or cause to be voted) or deliver a written consent (or cause a written consent to be delivered) with respect to all Subject Shares, in each case, to the fullest extent that the Subject Shares are entitled to be voted at the time of any shareholder vote or action by written consent:

 

 
 

 

(a)          in favor of (i) the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the terms thereof and (ii) without limitation of the preceding clause (i), the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the Company Shareholders Meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes for adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement on the date on which a Company Shareholders Meeting is held;

 

(b)          against any action or agreement that is intended, or could reasonably be expected, to impede, hinder, prevent, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and

 

(c)          against any agreement or arrangement relating to a Takeover Proposal.

 

Subject to the proxy granted under Section 3 below, Shareholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Subject Shares in Shareholder’s sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in Sections 2(a) – (c) that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s shareholders generally.

 

Section 3. Irrevocable Proxy. Shareholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent as attorney-in-fact and proxy for and on behalf of Shareholder, for and in the name, place and stead of Shareholder, to:

 

(a)          attend any and all Company Shareholder Meetings;

 

(b)          vote, express consent or dissent or issue instructions to the record holder to vote the Subject Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2 at any such meeting; and

 

(c)          grant or withhold, or issue instructions to the record holder to grant or withhold, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2, all written consents with respect to the Subject Shares.

 

The foregoing proxy shall be deemed to be a proxy coupled with an interest, is irrevocable (and as such shall survive and not be affected by the death, incapacity, mental illness or insanity of Shareholder) until the end of the Agreement Period (as defined below) and shall not be terminated by operation of applicable Law or upon the occurrence of any event other than the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9(d). Shareholder authorizes such attorney and proxy to substitute any other Person to act hereunder, to revoke any substitution and to file this proxy and any substitution or revocation with the Secretary of the Company. Shareholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 3 is given in connection with and granted in consideration of and as an inducement to Parent entering into the Merger Agreement and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the obligations of the Shareholder under Section 2 hereof. Parent covenants and agrees with Shareholder that Parent will exercise the foregoing proxy consistent with the provisions of Section 2 hereof.

 

Section 4. Representations and Warranties of Shareholder. Shareholder represents and warrants to Parent as follows:

 

(a)          Authorization. Shareholder has full legal capacity, right and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform Shareholder’s obligations hereunder. This

Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Shareholder and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Shareholder (subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity).

 

(b)          No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder does not, and the performance by Shareholder of Shareholder’s obligations hereunder will not, (A) contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of any provision of applicable Law or any judgment, injunction, order or decree of any Governmental Authority with competent jurisdiction or (B) constitute a default, or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, could become a default, under, or cause or permit the termination, cancellation, acceleration or other change of any right or obligation or the loss of any benefit to which Shareholder is entitled under any provision of any agreement or other instrument binding upon Shareholder. No consent, approval, order, authorization or permit of, or registration, declaration or filing with or notification to, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required by or with respect to Shareholder in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder or the performance by Shareholder of Shareholder’s obligations hereunder.

 

(c)          Ownership of Subject Shares. As of the date hereof, Shareholder is, and (except with respect to any Subject Shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer) at all times during the Agreement Period will be, the beneficial owner of the Subject Shares, free and clear of all Liens, and with no restrictions on Shareholder’s rights of disposition pertaining thereto, except for any applicable restrictions on Transfer under the Exchange Act. Except to the extent of any Subject Shares acquired after the date hereof (which shall become Subject Shares upon that acquisition), the number of Shares set forth on Schedule A opposite the name of Shareholder are the only Shares beneficially owned by Shareholder on the date of this Agreement. Other than the Subject Shares and any Shares that are the subject of unexercised Company Stock Options held by Shareholder (the number of which is set forth opposite the name of Shareholder on Schedule A), Shareholder does not own any Shares or any options to purchase or rights to subscribe for or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company and has no interest in or voting rights with respect to any securities of the Company.

 

(d)          Proxy. None of the Subject Shares are subject to any voting agreement on the date of this Agreement, except pursuant to this Agreement. Shareholder further represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Subject Shares, if any, are revocable, and hereby revokes such proxies.

 

(e)          Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, investigation or proceeding pending against, or, to the knowledge of Shareholder, threatened against or otherwise affecting, Shareholder or any of his or her properties or assets (including the Subject Shares) that could reasonably be expected to impair the ability of Shareholder to perform his or her obligations hereunder or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby on a timely basis.

(b)          Non-Contravention.

Section 6. Takeover Proposals. Shareholder hereby agrees that he or she shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including through the furnishing of any nonpublic information) the submission or announcement of any proposal that could lead to any Takeover Proposal; (ii) participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to any Takeover Proposal or any inquiry or indication of interest that would reasonably be expected to lead to a Takeover Proposal; (iii) approve, endorse or recommend any Takeover Proposal; (iv) enter into any document or Contract contemplating or otherwise relating to any Takeover Proposal; or (v) otherwise cooperate in any way with, assist or participate in, or knowingly encourage or facilitate (including through the furnishing of any nonpublic information regarding the Company in connection with or in response to a Takeover Proposal or an inquiry or indication of interest that could lead to a Takeover Proposal or providing access to the properties, books, records or management of the Company) any effort or attempt by any third party to do or seek any of the foregoing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Shareholder shall be permitted to engage in the activities set forth in Section 6.7 of the Merger Agreement, but only if the Company is permitted to take such actions in accordance with such sections.

4
 

 

Options unless the Shares underlying such Options become subject to this Agreement upon such Option exercise, or (v) enter into any contract, agreement, option, instrument or other arrangement or understanding with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of, any Subject Shares.

Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all rights Shareholder may have as to appraisal, dissent or any similar or related matter with respect to any of the Subject Shares relating to the Merger or any of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

Section 8. Further Assurances. Parent and Shareholder will each execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all further documents and instruments and use their respective reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Law and regulations, to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement.
