Agreement and Plan of Merger

On February 28, 2012, the Company, KCPC Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Central”) and the ultimate parent of Central Parking Corporation, a Tennessee corporation, Hermitage Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and Kohlberg CPC Rep, L.L.C, in its capacity as the Stockholders’ Representative, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into Central, with Central surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, at the effective time of the Merger, the stockholders of Central (the “Central Stockholders”) will, in aggregate, be entitled to receive 6,161,334 shares of common stock of the Company (“Company Stock”), subject to reduction under specified circumstances as provided in the Merger Agreement (the “Stock Consideration”). In addition, each Central Stockholder will be entitled to receive a pro rata portion of $27,000 of total cash consideration (subject to adjustment as provided in the Merger Agreement) to be paid on the third anniversary of the closing of the Merger, to the extent not used to satisfy the Central Stockholders’ indemnity obligations that may arise under the Merger Agreement (the “Cash Consideration” and together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”).

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Company and Central, including, among others, covenants of each of the Company and Central not to engage in certain significant actions without the prior written consent of the other party (e.g., declaring dividends and incurring additional indebtedness).

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Central Stockholders have agreed to indemnify the Company for a number of items, including, among others, adverse consequences resulting from breaches of representations, warranties and covenants and certain identified liabilities. These indemnification obligations are in certain cases limited to claims that in the aggregate exceed a specified “deductible” amount and, in the aggregate, do not exceed a specified “cap” amount.

Additionally, the Merger Agreement provides that, immediately after the closing of the Merger, the Company will increase the size of the Company’s board of directors (the “Company Board”) from five to eight members and will appoint individuals designated by the Stockholders’ Representative on behalf of the Central Stockholders to fill those vacancies. Following the Merger, the Stockholders’ Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement), on behalf of the Central Stockholders, will continue to have rights to designate members to the Company Board in accordance with the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have been approved by each of the Company Board, the board of directors of Central and the Central Stockholders. Additionally, pursuant to NASDAQ listing standards, which require stockholder approval prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of stock of another company if the issuance would constitute more than 20% of the total number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance, the stockholders of the Company (the “Company Stockholders”) must approve the issuance of Stock Consideration before the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement can be consummated.

The Company will hold a special meeting at which the Company Stockholders will be asked to consider and vote upon the proposal to approve the issuance of the Stock Consideration in the Merger.

In addition to obtaining the approval of the Company Stockholders as described above, the consummation of the Merger is subject to various closing conditions, including, among others, antitrust and other regulatory clearances and the consummation of the financing as discussed below.

The Merger Agreement also contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Central, and further provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, a party would be required to pay the other party’s fees and expenses in an amount not to exceed $6,000 or, in one case, a termination fee of $7,500 payable by the Company to Central.

The Merger Agreement provides that, on the closing date of the Merger, the Company will enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Central Stockholders which will require the Company to file a shelf registration statement, registering for public sale by the Central Stockholders the Company Stock acquired by them at the closing of the Merger. The Registration Rights Agreement will also provide the Central Stockholders with piggyback registration rights with respect to underwritten public offerings that the Company may effect for its own account or for the benefit of other selling stockholders.

The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the Merger does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 28, 2012.

Commitment Letter

Bank of America, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, together with certain other financial institutions (collectively, the “Lenders”), have provided a senior debt commitment letter and related joinders, each dated February 28, 2012, to provide the Company with $450,000 in senior secured credit facilities consisting of (i) a $200,000 five year revolving credit facility and (ii) a $250,000 term loan facility. In conjunction with the Merger, the Company will assume approximately $210,000 of Central’s debt, net of cash acquired, which will be repaid at closing using the proceeds of the $450,000 senior credit facilities. In addition, the proceeds from these borrowings will be used by the Company to finance in part the Merger, the costs and expenses related to the Merger and the ongoing working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company. The obligations of the Lenders to provide the debt financing under the senior debt commitment letter is subject to a number of conditions that the Company believes are customary for financings of this type. The termination date for the commitments under the senior debt commitment letter is October 31, 2012, subject to extension by the Lenders.

The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Commitment Letter, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on February 28, 2012.
