WHEREAS, as a condition and an inducement to the Parent Parties’ willingness to enter into the Merger Agreement, the Parent Parties have required that the Stockholder agrees, and the Stockholder has agreed to, enter into this Agreement with respect to (i) all common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) and (ii) all limited partnership interests in Company LP designated as a “Partnership Unit” (the “Company Partnership Units”) under the Company Partnership Agreement (as defined in the Merger Agreement), in each case that the Stockholder owns, if any, beneficially (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) or of record;

 

WHEREAS, the Stockholder is the beneficial or record owner, and has either sole or shared voting power over, such number of shares of the Company Common Stock and the Company Partnership Units (the “Company Units”), if any, as is indicated opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule A attached hereto; and

 

WHEREAS, Parent desires that the Stockholder agree, and the Stockholder is willing to agree, subject to the limitations herein, not to Transfer (as defined below) any of its Subject Securities (as defined below), and to vote its Subject Securities in a manner so as to facilitate consummation of the Mergers.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth below and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound hereby, do hereby agree as follows:

2.                                      Agreement to Retain the Company Common Stock and the Company Units.

 

2.1                               Transfer and Encumbrance of Subject Securities.  Other than a Permitted Transfer, hereafter until the Expiration Time, the Stockholder agrees, with respect to any Subject Securities beneficially owned by the Stockholder, not to (i) Transfer any such Subject Securities, or (ii) deposit any such Subject Securities into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to such Subject Securities or grant any proxy (except as otherwise provided herein) or power of attorney with respect thereto.

 

2.2                               Additional Purchases.  The Stockholder agrees that any Company Common Stock and other capital shares of the Company that the Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires sole or shared voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time (the “New Company Stock”) and any Company Partnership Units or other partnership interests of Company LP that the Stockholder purchases or otherwise acquires or with respect to which the Stockholder otherwise acquires sole or shared voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Time (the “New Company Units”) shall, in each case, be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the Company Common Stock or the Company Units, as applicable.

3.                                      Agreement to Vote and Approve.

 

3.1                               Company Common Stock.  Hereafter until the Expiration Time, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of the stockholders of the Company with respect to any of the following matters, the Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to (including via proxy), vote 100% of the Company Common Stock and any New Company Stock owned by the Stockholder: (i) in favor of the Parent Merger, and (ii) against (a) any Acquisition Proposal for the Company, (b) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (c) any action which could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, materially delay, materially postpone or materially adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

3.2                               Company Units.  Hereafter until the Expiration Time, on every action or approval by written consent of the partners of Company LP with respect to any of the following

matters, whether contemplated now or at any time prior to the Expiration Time, and at every meeting of the partners of Company LP called with respect to any of the following matters, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, the Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record on any applicable record date to (including via proxy), vote the Company Units and any New Company Units: (i) in favor of the Partnership Merger; (ii) in favor of any amendment to the Company Partnership Agreement proposed to facilitate the Partnership Merger or the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; and (iii) against (a) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the consummation of the Mergers set forth in Article VII of the Merger Agreement not being fulfilled, and (b) any action which could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, materially delay, materially postpone or materially adversely affect consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 

4.                                      Irrevocable Proxy.  By execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder does hereby appoint and constitute Parent, and any one or more other individuals designated by Parent, and each of them individually, until the Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked), with full power of substitution and resubstitution, as the Stockholder’s true and lawful attorneys-in-fact and irrevocable proxies, to the fullest extent of the Stockholder’s rights with respect to the Subject Securities beneficially owned by the Stockholder, to vote such Subject Securities solely with respect to the matters set forth in Section 3 hereof; provided, however, that the foregoing shall only be effective if the Stockholder fails to be counted as present, to consent or to vote the Stockholder’s Subject Securities, as applicable, in accordance with Section 3.  The Stockholder intends this proxy to be irrevocable and coupled with an interest hereafter until the Expiration Time (at which time this proxy shall automatically be revoked) for all purposes and hereby revokes any proxy previously granted by the Stockholder with respect to its Subject Securities.  The Stockholder hereby ratifies and confirms all actions that the proxies appointed hereunder may lawfully do or cause to be done in accordance with this Agreement.

 

5.                                      Representations and Warranties of the Stockholder.  The Stockholder hereby represents and warrants to the Parent Parties as follows:

 

5.1                               Due Authority.  The Stockholder has the legal capacity and full power and authority to make, enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement and to grant the irrevocable proxy as set forth in Section 4 hereof.  This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Stockholder enforceable against [him][her] in accordance with its terms, except to the extent enforceability may be limited by the effect of applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the effect of general principles of equity, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at Law or in equity.

 

5.2                               Ownership of the Company Common Stock and the Company Units.  As of the date hereof, the Stockholder (i) is the beneficial or record owner of the Company Common Stock and the Company Partnership Units indicated on Schedule A hereto opposite the Stockholder’s name, free and clear of any and all Liens, other than those created by this

Agreement, as disclosed on Schedule A or as would not prevent the Stockholder from performing [his][her] obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) has either sole or shared voting power over all of the Company Common Stock and the Company Units beneficially owned by the Stockholder.  As of the date hereof, the Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any capital stock or other securities of the Company or Company LP other than the Company Common Stock and the Company Partnership Units set forth on Schedule A opposite the Stockholder’s name.  As of the date hereof, the Stockholder does not own, beneficially or of record, any rights to purchase or acquire any shares of capital stock of the Company or Company LP except as set forth on Schedule A opposite the Stockholder’s name.

 

5.3                               No Conflict; Consents.

 

(a)                                 The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not, and the performance by the Stockholder of the obligations under this Agreement and the compliance by the Stockholder with any provisions hereof do not and will not: (i) conflict with or violate in any material respect any Laws applicable to the Stockholder, or (ii) result in any material breach of or constitute a material default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, or result in the creation of a Lien on any of the Company Common Stock or the Company Units beneficially owned by the Stockholder pursuant to, any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, lease, license, permit, franchise or other instrument or obligation to which the Stockholder is a party or by which the Stockholder is bound.

breach in any material respect of the representations and warranties of the Stockholder under this Agreement and (b) the receipt by the Stockholder of any notice or other communication from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with this Agreement; provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 7 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available to any party.

8.2                               Severability.  If any term or other provision of this Agreement is determined to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of Law or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the extent possible.
