Pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement, commencing on the Closing Date and until the date that is the six month anniversary thereof, Seller agreed that for so long as it and its affiliates collectively beneficially own any voting securities of the Company, except pursuant to a negotiated transaction with Seller approved by the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”), Seller will not (and will cause its affiliates not to) in any manner, directly or indirectly, among other things: (i) make, effect, initiate, cause or participate in (a) any acquisition of beneficial ownership of any securities of the Company or any securities of any subsidiary or other affiliate of the Company if such acquisition would result in Seller and its affiliates collectively beneficially owning 15% or more of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company, (b) any Company acquisition transaction, (c) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as those terms are defined in Rule 14a-1 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) or consents with respect to any securities of the Company or (d) frustrate or seek to frustrate any Company acquisition transaction proposed or endorsed by the Company; (ii) recommend, nominate or seek to nominate any person to the Board or otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, the Board or policies or governance of the Company; (iii) demand an inspection of the Company’s books and records whether pursuant to Section 220 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware or otherwise; (iv) institute, solicit, assist or join any litigation, arbitration or other proceeding against or involving the Company or any of its current or former directors or officers (including derivative actions); or (v) agree or offer to take, or encourage or propose (publicly or otherwise) the taking of, any of the foregoing actions, or assist, induce or encourage any other person to take any of the foregoing actions.
In addition, pursuant to the Lock-Up Agreement and at all times prior to the termination date thereunder, Seller shall timely vote in person or by proxy at each annual or special meeting of the Company’s stockholders all shares of Common Stock held by Seller in accordance with the recommendations of the Board on each matter presented to the Company’s stockholders at such meeting or in any consent solicitation as set forth in the applicable definitive proxy statement, including without limitation the election, removal and/or replacement of directors.
