WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, Stockholder is the record or “beneficial owner” (as defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)) of the number of shares of the Company Common Stock set forth below Stockholder’s signature on the signature page hereto (the “Original Shares,” and, together with any additional shares of Company Common Stock included pursuant to Section 7 hereof, the “Shares”);

Any attempted Transfer of Shares or any interest therein in violation of this Section 6 shall be null and void.

Dispute Resolution.
(a) The parties agree that any and all disputes arising under or related in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be resolved solely in arbitration before the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Court of Chancery”) as set forth below. Accordingly, and for the sake of clarity, the parties agree that they are waiving and relinquishing the right to bring any dispute arising under or related in any way to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby before a court of any state or the United States; that they are waiving any right to have such dispute decided by a jury; and that they are also waiving any right to argue that the forum for the arbitration is an inconvenient one. The parties intend that this Section 16 be interpreted as broadly as possible, and in favor of prompt and binding arbitration

 

9


 

(b) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws thereof. The parties hereto agree that any dispute or controversy arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (a “Dispute”) shall be arbitrated in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to 10 Del. C. § 349 and the Rules of the Delaware Court of Chancery promulgated thereunder (the “Chancery Rules”). The parties hereto agree to take all steps necessary or advisable, including execution of documents to be filed with the Delaware Court of Chancery, in order properly to submit such Dispute for Arbitration (as defined in the Chancery Rules) in accordance with this Section 16(b), and each such party agrees that it shall raise no objection to the submission of the Dispute to Arbitration in accordance with this Section 16(b) and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection that it may have or hereafter have to the submission of such Dispute for Arbitration or any right to lay claim to jurisdiction in any venue.
(c) The Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Chancery Rules; provided that the parties hereto may agree to amend, modify or alter such rules, and/or adopt new rules, in each case with the consent of the Arbitrator. Any such amendments, modifications or alterations shall be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each such party. The Arbitration shall take place in Delaware or such other location as the parties and the Arbitrator (as defined below) may agree.
(d) The Arbitration shall be presided over by one arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) who shall be a chancellor or vice-chancellor of the Delaware Court of Chancery appointed as an arbitrator by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
(e) Any issue concerning the extent to which any Dispute is subject to Arbitration shall be decided by the Arbitrator.
(f) The arbitral award (the “Award”) shall (i) be written or oral, (ii) state the reasons for the award, and (iii) be the sole and exclusive binding remedy with respect to the Dispute between and among the parties. The parties hereto acknowledge that time is of the essence and the parties agree that they shall not seek to vary the timing provisions of the Chancery Rules. Judgment on the Award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. All Awards of the Arbitrator shall be final, nonappealable and binding on the parties. The parties hereto waive any right to refer any question of law and right of appeal on the law and/or merits to any court, including any appeal contemplated by 10 Del. C. § 349(b). The Award shall be deemed an award of the United States, the relationship between the parties shall be deemed commercial in nature, and any Dispute arbitrated pursuant to this Section 16 shall be deemed commercial.

 

10


 

(g) The Arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable or legal remedies that would be available in any judicial proceeding intended to resolve a Dispute, including entering injunctive or other equitable relief pending the final decision of the Arbitrator or the rendering of the Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that any petition for arbitration submitted pursuant to this Section 16 shall seek specific performance and may also seek monetary damages, but only in the event that a grant of an award of specific performance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not awarded.
(h) The parties hereto agree that the Arbitration, and all matters relating thereto or arising thereunder, including the existence of the Dispute, the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other oral submissions, and any decision of the Arbitrator or Award), shall be kept strictly confidential, and each party hereby agrees that such information shall not be disclosed beyond (i) the Arbitrator or such other persons as are contemplated by 10 Del C. § 349(b), (ii) such party’s legal counsel, for any purpose related to the Dispute, (iii) the other party to the Dispute, (iv) the other party’s legal counsel, for any purpose related to the Dispute, (v) any person necessary to the conduct of the Arbitration, and (vi) solely in connection with a party’s enforcement of an Award in a court having jurisdiction thereof in accordance with Section 16, such court; provided, however, that each party hereto agrees that, prior to disclosing any information to any party listed in subclauses (ii), (iv) or (v) above, such party shall use its best efforts to cause the recipient of such information to agree to maintain the confidentiality of such agreement in a manner consistent with the terms hereof.
(i) Each party hereto shall bear its own legal fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration; provided, however, that each such party shall pay one-half of any filing fees, fees and expenses of the Arbitrator or other similar costs incurred by the parties in connection with the prosecution of the Arbitration.
(j) The parties acknowledge that the Arbitrator may impose rules different from, or in addition to, those set forth in this Section 16, and nothing in this Section 16 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Arbitrator from adopting any such rules. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party hereto shall use its best efforts to cause the Arbitration to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 16, and hereby further waives the right to object to the conduct of the Arbitration in accordance therewith.

 

11


 

(k) Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 16, each party hereto shall be entitled to seek interim or provisional relief in the Delaware Court of Chancery or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery lacks subject matter jurisdiction, any Federal court located in the State of Delaware to (i) remedy or prevent breaches of this Agreement or (ii) maintain the status quo, in each case until such time as the Arbitrator has been appointed. Each party hereto (i) irrevocably submits itself to the personal jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery or any Federal court located in the State of Delaware in any proceeding seeking such relief, and (ii) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court.
17.  
Miscellaneous.
(a) If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, 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 in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
(b) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(c) Stockholder will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional documents as Parent or Merger Sub may reasonably request for the purpose of carrying out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(d) All Section headings herein are for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement, and no construction or reference shall be derived therefrom.
(e) The obligations of Stockholder set forth in this Agreement shall not be effective or binding upon Stockholder until after such time as the Merger Agreement is executed and delivered by the Parent and Merger Sub, and the parties agree that there is not and has not been any other agreement, arrangement or understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the matters set forth herein.

 

12


 

(f) No failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided herein shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
(g) Neither party to this Agreement may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, except that Parent may assign, in its sole discretion, all or any of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to any of its affiliates. Any assignment contrary to the provisions of this Section 17(g) shall be null and void.
