Tender of Shares (a) Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender or cause to be tendered to Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Offer, not later than the fifth business day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Article 1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act, the number of outstanding shares of Company Common Stock Beneficially Owned by it as set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Existing Shares”), and not to withdraw the Existing Shares, or cause the Existing Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time (except following the termination or expiration of the Offer without Purchaser purchasing all shares of Company Common Stock tendered pursuant to the Offer in accordance with its terms). If Stockholder acquires Beneficial Ownership of any outstanding shares of Company Common Stock after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this Agreement, whether upon the exercise of options, warrants or rights, the conversion or exchange of convertible or exchangeable securities, or by means of purchase, dividend, distribution or otherwise (together with the Existing Shares, the “Shares”), Stockholder shall validly tender such Shares or cause such Shares to be tendered to Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with the Offer, not later than the fifth business day after commencement of the Offer pursuant to Article 1 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Rule 14d-2 of the Exchange Act or, if acquired later than such time, on or before the fifth business day after such acquisition, but in any event prior to the expiration date of the Offer, and not withdraw such Shares, or cause such Shares to be withdrawn, from the Offer at any time (except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement). Stockholder shall not withdraw any Shares so tendered unless this Agreement is terminated or otherwise terminates in accordance with its terms under Section 7 hereof or the Offer is terminated or has expired without Purchaser purchasing all shares of Company Common Stock validly tendered in the Offer and not withdrawn. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Stockholder may decline to tender, or may withdraw, any and all of Stockholder’s Shares if, without the consent of Stockholder, Purchaser amends the Offer to (i) reduce the Offer Price for the Shares in the Offer, (ii) reduce the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to the Offer, (iii) change the form of consideration payable in the Offer, (iv) change the “Minimum Condition,” which requires the tender of 35% of the fully diluted shares of Company Common Stock, or (v) amend or modify any term or condition of the Offer in a manner adverse to Stockholder (other than insignificant changes or amendments or other than to waive any condition other than the Minimum Condition which the parties agree cannot be waived or reduced) (clauses (i) through (v) collectively are hereinafter referred to as a “Material Amendment”). A Stockholder shall give Purchaser at least two (2) business days’ prior notice of any withdrawal of its Shares pursuant to the immediately preceding proviso.
Company Warrants Each warrant to purchase shares of Company Common Stock (a “Company Warrant”) granted under a warrant agreement of the Company that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, cease to represent a right to purchase shares of Company Common Stock and shall at the election of Parent and at the Effective Time, either represent a right to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock or be converted into a warrant to purchase shares of Parent Common Stock (a “Parent Warrant”), in each case on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such Company Warrant. Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall take all action necessary to enable Parent to make either of such elections. All Company Warrants issued to Parent and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, at the Effective Time, be cancelled and shall cease to exist. The number of shares of Parent Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant or Parent Warrant, as the case may be, shall be the number of shares of Company Common Stock subject to each such Company Warrant immediately prior to the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest whole share of Parent Common Stock, and such Company Warrant or Parent Warrant, as the case may be shall have an exercise price per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to the per share exercise price specified in such Company Warrant divided by the Exchange Ratio. Parent shall reserve for issuance a number of shares of Parent Common Stock at least equal to the number of shares of Parent Common Stock that will be subject to Parent Warrants as a result of the assumption by Parent of Company Warrants as contemplated by this Section 2.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustment to the number of shares receivable upon exercise of a Parent Warrant or a Company Warrant or to the exercise price pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall not be duplicative of any such adjustments that occur pursuant to the terms of the underlying Company Warrant.
