Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Shareholder may Transfer Subject Shares to one or more partners or members of such Shareholder or to an affiliated entity under common control with such Shareholder or to any trustee or beneficiary of the trust, provided, that such a Transfer shall be permitted only if, as a precondition, the transferee of such Subject Shares agrees in writing, to accept such Subject Shares subject to the terms of this Agreement and to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and to agree and acknowledge that such person shall be deemed to constitute a Shareholder for all purposes of this Agreement. If so requested by Parent, such Shareholder agrees that the Subject Shares shall bear a legend stating that the respective Subject Shares are subject to this Agreement, provided such legend shall be removed if the Offer is terminated or withdrawn or the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms or if this Agreement is otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

Section 4.02        Appraisal Rights. Such Shareholder acknowledges that he or it shall not have any dissenters’ rights provided for in the MBCA in connection with the Transactions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such Shareholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees not to make a written demand or file a petition for appraisal, and waives and agrees not to exercise any appraisal, dissenters’ or similar rights pursuant to Section 762 of the MBCA or otherwise in respect of such Shareholder’s Subject Shares that may arise in connection with the Offer or the Merger, and (b) agrees not to commence or participate in, and to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against the Company, Parent, Sub or any of their respective successors or affiliates relating to the negotiation, execution or delivery of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement, including any claim (x) challenging the validity of or seeking to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, other than claims or actions arising out of any breach of this Agreement by Parent or Sub, or (y) alleging any breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company’s board of directors in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement or the consummation of the Transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger.

Such Shareholder agrees to promptly give Parent any information it may reasonably require for the preparation of any such disclosure documents, and such Shareholder agrees to promptly notify Parent of any required corrections with respect to any written information supplied by such Shareholder specifically for use in any such disclosure document, if and to the extent that any such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect.

 

Section 4.04        Adjustments. In the event of any stock split (including a reverse stock split), stock dividend, distribution, merger, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or the like of the capital stock of the Company affecting the Subject Shares, the term “Subject Shares” shall be deemed to refer to and include such shares, as well as all such stock dividends and distributions and any securities into which or for which any or all of such shares may be changed or exchanged or which are received in the transaction.

Section 5.13        Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction (a) shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement and (b) shall not, solely by virtue thereof, be invalid or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any person or any circumstance, is invalid or unenforceable, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to determine a suitable and equitable provision to 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.

 

Section 5.14        No Agreement Until Executed. This Agreement shall not be effective unless and until (a) the Company’s board of directors has approved the Merger Agreement, (b) the Merger Agreement is executed by all parties thereto and (c) this Agreement is executed by all parties hereto.

 

Section 5.15         Headings. Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever.

 

Section 5.16        Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to an Article or Section, such reference shall be to an Article or Section of 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.” The words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “since” when used in this Agreement in reference to a date shall be deemed to be inclusive of such date. All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings when used in any certificate or other document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such term. References in this Agreement to specific laws or to specific provisions of laws shall include all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and any statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument referred to herein shall mean such statute as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by succession of comparable successor statutes. Each of the parties has participated in the drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement must be construed as if it is drafted by all the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement or instrument as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented, including by waiver or consent and references to all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein.

References to “written” or “in writing” include in electronic form.

 

Section 5.17        Capacity as a Shareholder. Shareholder signs this Agreement solely in Shareholder’s capacity as a shareholder of the Company, and not in Shareholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. Nothing herein shall in any way restrict any Shareholder who is a director or officer of the Company in the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties solely as a director or officer of the Company or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any such Shareholder from taking any action solely in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company.

 

Section 5.18        Further Assurances. From time to time and without additional consideration, each Shareholder shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, and shall take such further actions, as Parent or Sub may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out and furthering the intent of this Agreement or as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to effect the actions and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
