The Acquisition --- will be structured as (i) a tender offer by the Sub for shares of Summit (the "Offer"), followed by (ii) a merger of the Sub into Summit (the "Merger"), - ------ ------ pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger by and among Summit, the Company, the Sub and Heritage dated as of February 6, 1998 (the "Merger Agreement"). ---------------- The Company will cause to be filed immediately prior to the purchase of shares of Summit stock pursuant to the Offer (the "Tender Closing") an amendment -------------- to its Certificate of Incorporation (the "Amendment") reclassifying its capital --------- stock and automatically converting the shares of its capital stock outstanding immediately prior to such amendment into shares of the reclassified capital stock of the Company. The Investors (other than HFIC) wish to invest certain amounts in the Company in return for shares of the reclassified capital stock of the Company, as more particularly described herein. HFIC wishes to purchase certain securities which may in turn be purchased by Scott and certain other parties. NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: Section 1. Recapitalization. Effective at the respective times set forth --------- ---------------- below, the stock ownership of the Company will be restructured, and the new investments specified in this Agreement will be made. This Agreement constitutes a plan of reorganization, and the transactions effected hereby are intended to qualify under Sections 351 and 368(a)(1)(E) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). ---- Section 2. Investments. The Investors will make new cash and other --------- ----------- investments in the Company, as set forth on Schedule A hereto, in exchange for ---------- the issuance by the Company of the securities (the "Securities") set forth on ---------- Schedule A (the "Investment"), immediately prior to the Tender Closing, except - ---------- ---------- that (a) Scott agrees to purchase those securities which are indicated on Schedule A as being purchased by HFIC on his behalf from HFIC at the effective - ---------- time of the Merger, and (b) HFIC (or any other person or entity which HFIC may designate, and which may become an "Investor" hereunder by executing a counterpart of this Agreement) agrees to purchase certain of the Securities at the effective time of the Merger as set forth on Schedule A. Each purchase of ---------- Series A Common Stock will be at a price of approximately $126.53 per share. Scott will purchase a portion of the Securities to be acquired by him for a promissory note in a form acceptable to the Company. Section 3. Closing. The closing of the Investments will take place at the --------- ------- times specified above. The Company will give at least 24 hour telephonic or written notice of the date and time of closing. At closing, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 7, (a) all payments to be made by the Investors will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company, (b) the Company and each Investor named in such agreements will execute (i) the Stockholders Agreement in the form of Exhibit 3(b)(i) hereto (the "Stockholders --------------- ------------ Agreement") and (ii) the Registration Rights Agreement in the form of Exhibit - --------- ------- 3(b)(ii) hereto (the "Registration Rights Agreement"), and (c) the Company will - -------- ----------------------------- issue to the Investors certificates representing the Securities acquired.
