Defined terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Merger Agreement (as defined below).

 

WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, each Holder “beneficially owns” (as such term is defined in Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) and has the sole power to dispose of (or sole power to cause the disposition of) and the sole power to vote (or sole power to direct the voting of) the number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of HMAN Group Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hillman”, and such shares, the “Hillman Shares”), set forth on such Holder’s signature page hereto (such Hillman Shares, together with any other Hillman Shares acquired by such Holder or with respect to which such Holder otherwise becomes entitled to exercise voting power prior to the Termination Date (as defined below), the “Covered Shares”); and

 

WHEREAS, Hillman, Landcadia and the other parties named therein will, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, enter into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, modified, supplemented or waived from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which, inter alia, a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Landcadia will be merged with and into Hillman, with Hillman surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Landcadia (the “Merger”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein (the Merger, together with the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the “Transactions”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual representations, warranties and covenants, and subject to the conditions, herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1.            Voting Agreement.

 

As promptly as reasonably practicable (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) following the time at which the Registration Statement is declared effective under the Securities Act, each Holder shall duly execute and deliver to Hillman and Landcadia a written consent, in a form reasonably acceptable to Landcadia and in accordance with the DGCL and Hillman’s Organizational Documents, under which it, he or she irrevocably and unconditionally consents to Hillman’s execution, delivery and performance of its obligations under the Merger Agreement and any other Transaction Documents to which Hillman is or will be a party, as well as consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby (including the Merger). The obligations of the Holders specified in this Section 1 shall apply whether or not the Merger, any of the Transactions or any action described above is recommended by Hillman’s board of directors.

 

2.             Representations, Warranties and Agreements.

 

2.1.            Holders’ Representations, Warranties and Agreements. Each Holder hereby represents and warrants to Landcadia and acknowledges and agrees with Landcadia as follows:

 

 

 

 

2.1.1.      If a Holder is not an individual, such Holder has been duly formed or incorporated and is validly existing in good standing under the Legal Requirements of its jurisdiction of incorporation or formation, with power and authority to enter into, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement. If a Holder is an individual, such Holder has full legal capacity, right and authority to enter into, deliver and perform his or her obligations under this Agreement.

If a Holder is an individual, the signature on this Agreement is genuine, and such Holder has legal competence and capacity to execute the same. This Agreement is enforceable against each Holder in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited or otherwise affected by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other Legal Requirements relating to or affecting the rights of creditors generally, and (ii) principles of equity, whether considered at law or equity.

 

2.1.3.      The execution, delivery and performance by each Holder of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a breach or violation of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon Holder’s Covered Shares or any other property or assets of any Holder or any of their respective subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, lease, license or other agreement or instrument to which any Holder or any of their respective subsidiaries is a party or by which any Holder or any of their respective subsidiaries is bound or to which Holder’s Covered Shares or any other property or assets of any Holder or any of their respective subsidiaries is subject, which would reasonably be expected to impair the legal authority of any Holder to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement, (ii) if a Holder is not an individual, result in any violation of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of such Holder or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) require any consent or approval that has not been given or other action that has not been taken by any third party (including under any Contract binding upon such Holder), in each case, to the extent such consent, approval or other action would prevent, enjoin or materially delay the performance by such Person of its, his or her obligations under this Agreement or (vi) result in any violation of any statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over such Holder or any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective properties that would reasonably be expected to impair the legal authority of any Holder to enter into and timely perform its obligations under this Agreement.

5.12.        Remedies.

 

5.12.1.  The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if this Agreement was not performed or the Closing is not consummated in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that money damages or other legal remedies would not be an adequate remedy for any such damage. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to equitable relief, including in the form of an injunction or injunctions, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including the Holders’ obligations to vote their Covered Shares as provided in this Agreement, without proof of actual damages or the inadequacy of monetary damages as a remedy, in an appropriate court of competent jurisdiction as set forth in Section 5.9, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any party is entitled at law or in equity, including money damages. The right to specific enforcement shall include the right of the parties to cause the other parties to cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be consummated on the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree (i) to waive any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with any such equitable remedy, (ii) not to assert that a remedy of specific enforcement pursuant to this Section 5.12 is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to applicable law or inequitable for any reason, and (iii) to waive any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate. In connection with any action for which Landcadia is being granted an award of money damages, the Holders agree that such damages shall include, without limitation, damages related to the cash consideration that is or was to be paid to Landcadia under the Merger Agreement and such damages are not limited to an award of out-of-pocket fees and expenses related to the Merger Agreement.

5.12.3.  In any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby, or any transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, the applicable adjudicating body shall award to the prevailing party, if any, the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the dispute and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby and, if the adjudicating body determines a party to be the prevailing party under circumstances where the prevailing party won on some but not all of the claims and counterclaims, the adjudicating body may award the prevailing party an appropriate percentage of the costs and attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the adjudication and the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate contemplated hereby or thereby.

 

5.13.        Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made by the parties hereto in this Agreement shall survive the Closing.

 

5.14.        No Broker or Finder. Each of the Holders represents and warrants to the other parties hereto that no broker, finder or other financial consultant has acted on its behalf in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in such a way as to create any liability on any other party hereto. Each of the Holders agrees to indemnify and save the other parties hereto harmless from any claim or demand for commission or other compensation by any broker, finder, financial consultant or similar agent claiming to have been employed by or on behalf of such party and to bear the cost of legal expenses incurred in defending against any such claim.

5.15.        Headings and Captions. The headings and captions of the various subdivisions of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way modify or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions hereof.

 

5.16.        Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that the parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by any form of electronic delivery, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.

 

5.17.        Construction. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without limitation.” Pronouns in masculine, feminine, and neuter genders will be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form will be construed to include the plural and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited. The parties hereto intend that each representation, warranty, and covenant contained herein will have independent significance. If any party hereto has breached any representation, warranty, or covenant contained herein in any respect, the fact that there exists another representation, warranty or covenant relating to the same subject matter (regardless of the relative levels of specificity) which such party has not breached will not detract from or mitigate the fact that such party is in breach of the first representation, warranty, or covenant.

 

5.18.        Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the joint product of the parties hereto and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation and agreement of the parties hereto and shall not be construed for or against any party.

 

5.19.        Consent to Disclosure.
