(d)                                 The chairperson of the Board shall be an SEM Director designated by SEM.  The chairperson shall be entitled to call meetings of the Board as described in Section 4.2(f) and shall have general charge of the affairs and meetings of the Board.  The initial chairperson of the Board shall be Keith Newton.

 

(e)                                  The Board shall have the right to delegate any of its rights, powers and authorities to a committee of the Board consisting of some or all of the Directors.  Except as expressly provided in this Section 4.2(e), any such committee shall have (i) a majority of members that are SEM Directors, (ii) for so long as the Board includes at least one (1) Dignity Director, at least one (1) member that is a Dignity Director and (iii) for so long as the Board includes at least one (1) WCAS Director, at least one (1) member that is a WCAS Director.  The chairperson of any such committee shall be an SEM Director or any other Director approved by SEM to serve as chairperson of such committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for as long as the Board includes at least one (1) Dignity Director, the Board shall maintain a committee of the Board composed of one (1) SEM Director and one (1) Dignity Director charged with overseeing organizational culture, values and employee engagement, expectation and performance.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement, for as long as the Board includes at least one (1) WCAS Director or (1) Dignity Director, the Board will delegate full authority to act on behalf of the Company to a committee consisting solely of an equal number of WCAS Directors and Dignity Directors (provided that (x) if the Board does not include at least one (1) Dignity Director at such time, the Board will delegate full authority to act on behalf of the Company to a committee consisting solely of the WCAS Directors and (ii) if the Board does not include at least one (1) WCAS Director at such time, the Board will delegate full authority to act on behalf of the Company to a committee consisting solely of the Dignity Directors) when considering or approving any matters pertaining to the Amended and Restated Shared Services Agreement, the Amended and Restated Tax

 

22



 

Sharing Agreement or any subsequent amendments, modifications or changes to (including approval of amendments adding additional services under the Amended and Restated Shared Services Agreement) the foregoing agreements, and the approval of a majority of the members of such committee shall be deemed to be Board Approval for all purposes of this Agreement.  The initial members and chairpersons of each committee of the Board are set forth on Exhibit F.

 

(f)                                   Meetings of the Board may be held at any time and at any place within or without the State of Delaware designated in the notice of the meeting, when called by the chairperson of the Board with notice thereof being given to each Director.  Such notice shall be delivered (i) by overnight delivery at least three (3) Business Days before the meeting addressed to such Director at such Director’s usual or last known business or residence address, (ii) by e-mail at least forty-eight (48) hours before the meeting, or (iii) in person or by telephone at least forty-eight (48) hours before the meeting.  Notice of a meeting need not be given to any Director if a written waiver of notice, executed by such Director before or after the meeting, is filed with the records of the meeting, or to any Director who attends the meeting (in person or otherwise) without protesting prior thereto or at its commencement the lack of notice to such Director.  Neither notice of a meeting nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the meeting.  Directors may participate in a meeting of the Board (or any committee thereof) by means of conference telephone or similar communications equipment by means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other or by any other means permitted by law.  Such participation shall constitute presence in person at such meeting.

 

(g)                                  At any meeting of the Board or committee thereof, a majority of the Directors then in office and present in person or by proxy shall constitute a quorum.  Any meeting may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

 

(h)                                 Subject to Section 4.2(b), a quorum being present, any decisions to be made by the Board shall require the approval of a majority of the Board (“Board Approval”).  Directors may vote in person or by proxy.  The person appointed by a Director as his proxy shall in all cases be another Director.  A proxy must be filed with the Company before or at the time of the meeting.  Unless the writing appointing a proxy otherwise provides, the presence at a meeting of the Director who appointed a proxy shall operate to revoke the appointment.  Any proxy granted by a Director shall also be revocable by notice to the Company, in writing, of the revocation of the appointment of a proxy, but any such revocation shall not affect any vote or action previously taken or authorized.

 

(i)                                     Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board may be taken in writing without a meeting if approved by unanimous written consent of all Directors, and such writing or writings are filed with the records of the meetings of the Board and copies of such are promptly provided to any Director not consenting to such action.  Such consent shall be treated for all purposes as Board Approval.

 

23



 

(j)                                    To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of the Board otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the Members to modify such duties and liabilities.

 

4.3.                            Restrictions on Proxies, Voting Trusts and Voting Agreements.  No Member shall grant any proxy or enter into or agree to be bound by any voting trust with respect to any voting securities of the Company held by him, her or it, which conflicts or is inconsistent in any manner with the provisions of this Agreement, nor shall any Member enter into any voting agreement or other arrangement of any kind with respect to the voting securities of the Company now held or hereafter acquired by him, her or it, which conflicts or is inconsistent in any manner with the provisions of this Agreement.

 

4.4.                            Indemnification.

 

(a)                                 To the fullest extent permitted by law and subject to the remainder of this Section 4.4(a), the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including amounts paid in satisfaction of judgments, in compromises and settlements, as fines and penalties and legal or other costs and reasonable expenses of investigating or defending against any claim or alleged claim and any tax imposed on an Indemnitee in respect of amounts of indemnification received hereunder) of any nature whatsoever, liquidated or unliquidated, that are incurred by any Indemnitee and arise out of or in connection with the affairs or businesses of the Company or its Subsidiaries.  In furtherance of the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder unless there has been a final, non-appealable determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that the conduct giving rise to such indemnification constituted bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct.  The satisfaction of any indemnification and any holding harmless pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall be from and limited to Company assets (including insurance and any agreements pursuant to which the Company, its officers or employees or any Indemnitee are entitled to indemnification), and no Member shall have any personal liability on account thereof.

 

(b)                                 To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnitee in defense or settlement of any claim that may be subject to a right of indemnification hereunder shall be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition thereof after receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if there is a final adjudication, after all possible appeals have been exhausted, by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified hereunder.

 

(c)                                  The right of any Indemnitee to the indemnification expressly provided herein shall be cumulative of, and in addition to, any and all rights to which such Indemnitee may otherwise be entitled by contract or as a matter of law or equity and shall extend to such Indemnitee’s successors, assigns and legal representatives.

 

24



 

(d)                                 The termination of any action, suit or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not, by itself, create a presumption that an Indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification under this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Board shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against or expenses that may be incurred by such Person in connection with the Company’s activities, regardless of whether the Company would have the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.  The Company shall purchase such insurance if it is available on terms the Board concludes are reasonable.

 

(f)                                   The Indemnitees may also have certain rights to indemnification by Affiliates of the Company and/or insurance provided by such Affiliates (the “Affiliated Indemnitors”).  The Company and its Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, are the indemnitors of first resort (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that the obligations of the Company hereunder to the Indemnitees are primary, and any obligation of the Affiliated Indemnitors to advance expenses or to provide indemnification to the Indemnitees are secondary).  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Affiliated Indemnitors from any and all claims against the Affiliated Indemnitors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect of advancements or other indemnification payments.  Each of the Company and its Subsidiaries further agrees that no advancement or other indemnification payment by the Affiliated Indemnitors on behalf of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for which such Indemnitee has sought indemnification or advancement from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall affect the foregoing, and the Affiliated Indemnitors shall have a right of contribution and/or be subrogated to the extent of such advancements or other indemnification payments.  Nothing in the foregoing shall be deemed a limitation on an Indemnitee’s right to indemnification.

 

(g)                                  The provisions of this Section 4.4 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees, their heirs, successors, assigns and administrators, all of whom are express third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.4.

 

4.5.                            Limitation on Liability.

 

(a)                                 To the fullest extent permitted by law (including Section 18-1101(b), (c), (d) and (e) of the Act):

 

(i)                                     notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither the Directors nor any other Indemnitee shall owe any duty (including fiduciary duties or duties under the corporate opportunity doctrine) to the Company, any of the Members or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement, in connection with any act or failure to act; and

 

25



 

(ii)                                  none of the Directors shall have any personal liability to the Company, any of the Members, or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement for monetary damages in connection with any act or failure to act, or breach, whether hereunder, thereunder or otherwise, other than for conduct that constitutes bad faith, willful misconduct or fraud.

 

(b)                                 If any provision of Section 4.5(a) is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the duties and personal liability of either the Directors or any other Indemnitee to the Company, any of the Members or any other Person that is a party to or is otherwise bound by this Agreement shall be eliminated to the greatest extent permitted under the Act.

 

(c)                                  The Members expressly acknowledge that the Board is acting on behalf of the Company.  Neither the Board nor any other Indemnitee shall be obligated to consider or not consider the separate interest of any Member or other Person (including the tax consequences to any Member or other Person) in deciding, pursuant to its authority granted under this Agreement, whether to cause the Company to take (or decline to take) any actions that are in the interest of the Company.  Neither the Directors nor any other Indemnitee shall be liable for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred, or benefits not derived by Members in connection with such decisions.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all officers of the Company shall be subject to all fiduciary and other duties under applicable law to the Company and the Members (but not any creditor of the Company).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each officer of the Company shall have fiduciary duties to the Company and the Members (but not any creditor of the Company) to the same extent that officers of a Delaware corporation would have to such corporation and its stockholders.

 

(e)                                  Except as otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable law or as expressly set forth herein, no Member shall have any personal liability whatsoever in such Member’s capacity as a Member, whether to the Company, to any of the other Members, to the creditors of the Company or to any other third party, for the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise (including those arising as member, owner or shareholder of another company, partnership or entity).  Under the Act, a member of a limited liability company may, under certain circumstances, be required to return amounts previously distributed to such member.  It is the intent of the Members that no distribution to any Member pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute money or other property paid or distributed in violation of the Act, and the Members agree that each such distribution shall constitute a compromise of the Members within the meaning of Section 18-502(b) of the Act, and that the Member receiving such distribution shall not be required to return to any Person any such money or property, unless such distribution was made in error or in contravention of non-waivable provisions of applicable law or in breach of this Agreement.  If, however, any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such payment, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of the other Members.

 

26



 

(f)                                   The provisions of this Section 4.5 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and administrators, all of whom are third-party beneficiaries of this Section 4.5, and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.

 

4.6.                            Officers.  The officers of the Company are as follows each of whom shall serve until the earlier of their death, resignation, or removal by the Board, which such removal may be for any reason or no reason:

5.2.                            Limitation on Distributions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company, and the Board on behalf of the Company, shall not be required to make a distribution to any Member if such distribution would violate this Agreement, the Act or other applicable law.

 

5.3.                            Non-Cash Distributions.  Whenever a distribution provided for in this Article V is made in property other than cash, the value of such distribution shall be deemed to be the Fair Market Value of such property as determined in the sole discretion of the Board.  If the Company makes such a non-cash distribution to any Member and such distribution is subject to withholding or other taxes payable by the Company on behalf of such Member, the Board shall notify such Member as to the amount of such withholding or other taxes and such Member shall make a prompt payment to the Company of such amount by wire transfer.

ARTICLE VI.
TAX AND ACCOUNTING MATTERS

 

6.1.                            Classification as an Association Taxable as a Corporation.  The parties hereto intend the Company be classified as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal and all applicable state and local income tax purposes.  The Board shall, for and on behalf of the Company, take all steps as may be required to establish and maintain the Company’s classification as an association taxable as a corporation for United States federal and all applicable state and local income tax purposes, including, but not limited to, making any required election pursuant to Regulations Section 301.7701-3 promulgated under the Code, as such regulations may be amended from time to time (including corresponding provisions of succeeding regulations).

ARTICLE VII.
TRANSFER OF COMPANY INTERESTS

 

7.1.                            Transfers.  No Member may Transfer any Company Equity Securities other than (i) Transfers made with the prior written consent of SEM, Dignity and WCAS; (ii) with respect to Class A Interests only, Transfers to Permitted Transferees that are made in accordance with Section 7.2; (iii) with respect to Class A Interests only, Transfers made pursuant to Section 9.1 (Tag-Along Rights); (iv) Transfers of Class B Interests or Class C Interests permitted by the Company Equity Plans and the terms of any applicable Grant Agreement (provided that such Class B Interests or Class C Interests, as applicable, are vested for federal income tax purposes at the time of Transfer); (v) Transfers made pursuant to Section 9.2 (Drag-Along Rights); (vi) Transfers made pursuant to Section 9.3 (Put and Call Rights); and (vii) Transfers made pursuant to Section 3.2 (Termination Call Option).  Any attempted Transfer of Company Equity Securities in violation of the provisions of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect.

9.1.                            Tag-Along Rights.

 

(a)                                 Tag-Along Rights.

 

(i)                                     With respect to any proposed Transfer (other than a Transfer pursuant to Sections 9.2 or 9.3) by a Class A Member or Class A Members (collectively, the “Selling Members”) of Company Interests to any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee thereof (the “Proposed Transferee”) and which Transfer has been approved by the prior written consent of Dignity, WCAS and SEM (a “Proposed Sale”), each Class A Member (other than the Selling Members) who exercises its rights under this Section 9.1 (each a “Tagging

 

32



 

Member”) shall have the right to include in the Proposed Sale to the Proposed Transferee a number of Class A Interests up to the product (rounded down to the nearest whole number) of (i) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the aggregate number of Class A Interests owned by such Tagging Member by (B) the aggregate number of Class A Interests then outstanding and (ii) the total number of Class A Interests proposed to be Transferred to the Proposed Transferee, at the same price per Company Interest and upon the same terms and conditions (including time of payment, amount, form and choice of consideration (excluding any amount payable to a Selling Member for any unpaid Class A Additional Capital or the aggregate unpaid amount of Class A Additional Capital Yield) and adjustments to purchase price) as the Selling Members; provided that to the extent one or more Class A Members elect not to sell his, her or its entire allotment, then the allotment of the Tagging Members who have elected to sell their entire allotment (and who elect to sell additional Class A Interests) shall be increased proportionately among such Tagging Members who wish to sell additional Class A Interests based on their relative holdings of Class A Interests up to the full amount of Class A Interests which the non-electing Members were entitled to sell pursuant to this Section 9.1; provided, further that in order to be entitled to exercise its right to sell the Company Interests to the Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 9.1, each Tagging Member, if requested by the Selling Members or the Proposed Transferee, (x) shall agree to the same covenants as the Selling Members agree to in connection with the Proposed Sale (provided that no Tagging Member shall be required to agree to any covenant not to compete or any covenant that would bind or restrict any Affiliate of a Tagging Member that is not itself a Member), (y) shall be obligated to join individually and ratably (and not jointly and severally) on a pro rata basis (based on the proceeds to be received by such Tagging Member in connection with the Proposed Sale but that in no event exceeds the amount of consideration otherwise received by the Tagging Member in connection with such Proposed Sale) in any pro rata indemnification that the Selling Members agree to provide in connection with the Proposed Sale (provided that no Tagging Member shall be required to share in any indemnification obligations relating to a breach of a representation, warranty or covenant relating solely to another Member or such other Member’s Company Interests, such as with respect to title to Company Interests or authorization of a Member to enter into transaction agreements (such obligations to be borne solely by the other Member)) and (z) shall make such representations and warranties concerning itself and the Company Interests to be sold by it in connection with such Transfer as each Selling Member makes with respect to itself and its Company Interests (and provide sole indemnity with respect thereto consistent with any indemnification provided by each Selling Member with respect to its representations and warranties); provided, further, that, payment of cash consideration to any Tagging Member entitled to receive less than $100,000 in connection with any such Transfer may be made by check regardless of whether other participating Members receive payment by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds.

 

33



 

(ii)                                  Each Tagging Member will be responsible for funding its proportionate share (based on the proceeds to be received by each Tagging Member in connection with the Proposed Sale) of any adjustment in purchase price or escrow arrangements in connection with the Proposed Sale and for its proportionate share of any withdrawals from any such escrow, including any such withdrawals that are made with respect to claims arising out of such Tagging Member’s agreements, covenants, representations, warranties or other provisions relating to the Proposed Sale and shall receive its proportionate share of any upward adjustment in purchase price or release of funds to the Members from any escrow arrangement in connection with the Proposed Sale.

 

(iii)                               Each Tagging Member will be responsible for its proportionate share (based on the proceeds to be received by each Tagging Member in connection with the Proposed Sale) of the fees, commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses (collectively, “Costs”) of the Proposed Sale.  The Selling Members shall be entitled to estimate in its reasonable, good faith judgment each Tagging Member’s proportionate share of such Costs and to withhold such amounts from payments to be made to each Tagging Member at the time of closing of such Proposed Sale; provided, that (i) such estimate shall not preclude the Selling Members from recovering additional amounts from the Tagging Members in respect of each such Tagging Member’s proportionate share (based on the proceeds to be received by each Tagging Member in connection with the Proposed Sale) of such Costs and (ii) the Selling Members shall reimburse each Tagging Member to the extent actual amounts are ultimately less than the estimated amounts.

 

(b)                                 Exercise of Tag-Along Rights; Notices.  The Selling Members shall give the Company prior written notice of each Proposed Sale, setting forth the number of Class A Interests proposed to be so Transferred, the identity of the Proposed Transferee, the proposed amount of consideration and other material terms and conditions of payment offered by the Proposed Transferee.  In the event that any of the material terms or conditions set forth in the notice are thereafter amended in any material respect, the Selling Members shall also give written notice of the amended terms and conditions of the Proposed Sale to the Company.  Upon its receipt of any such notice or amended notice, the Company shall promptly, but in all events within two (2) Business Days of its receipt thereof, forward copies thereof to each of the Class A Members other than the Selling Members (such initial notice, the “Tag-Along Opportunity Notice” and any amended notice, an “Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice”).  In order to exercise the tag-along rights provided by this Section 9.1 a Member must send a written notice to the Company and the Selling Members indicating its desire to exercise its rights and specifying the number of Class A Interests it desires to sell, including the number of Class A Interests it would be willing to Transfer if one or more Members do not elect to fully participate in the Proposed Sale (the “Tag-Along Exercise Notice”) within twenty (20) Business Days following the giving of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice to such Member (or if an Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice is given to the Members, within twenty (20) Business Days following the giving of such Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice).  Upon the giving of an Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice to

 

34



 

a Member that had previously provided a Tag-Along Exercise Notice, such Tagging Member shall be permitted to cancel its exercise of its rights under this Section 9.1 upon delivery within such twenty (20) Business Day period of written notice to the Selling Members and the Company to such effect and shall be released from its obligation hereunder.  After the delivery of any Tag-Along Opportunity Notice or an Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice, during the applicable twenty (20) Business Day period, each of the Members other than the Selling Members shall have the opportunity to ask and have answered any questions of the Company’s management and the Selling Member regarding such items as the Member may reasonably want to know with respect to the sale of Company Interests in the Proposed Sale.  There shall be no liability on the part of the Selling Members to any Tagging Member if the sale of Company Interests pursuant to this Section 9.1 is not consummated for whatever reason.  Whether or not to consummate a Proposed Sale shall be within in the sole and absolute discretion of the Selling Members.

 

(c)                                  Closing of Proposed Sale.

 

(i)                                     At the closing of the Proposed Sale, if the applicable Company Interests are certificated, each Tagging Member shall deliver to the Proposed Transferee one or more certificates, properly endorsed for transfer, which represent the Company Interests that such Tagging Member is permitted to dispose of pursuant to this Section 9.1.  The consummation of the Proposed Sale shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Selling Members, who shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever to any Tagging Member participating therein except as set forth in this Section 9.1.  In connection with the consummation of any such Proposed Sale, each Tagging Member shall transfer to the Proposed Transferee at the closing of such Proposed Sale the Company Interests to be disposed of by any Tagging Members and the Proposed Transferee shall concurrently remit to each Tagging Member that portion of the proceeds of the disposition to which such Tagging Member is entitled by reason of such participation.

 

(ii)                                  If any Tagging Member exercises its rights under this Section 9.1, the closing of the purchase of the Company Interests with respect to which such rights have been exercised will take place concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Selling Member’s Company Interests to the Proposed Transferee.  If, by the end of the ninety (90) day period following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice (or, following the delivery of the last Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice, if applicable), the Selling Members and the Proposed Transferee have not completed the Proposed Sale, each Tagging Member shall be released from its obligations under this Section 9.1, and the Tag-Along Exercise Notices shall be null and void, and it shall be necessary for the terms of this Section 9.1 to be separately complied with in order to consummate such Proposed Sale pursuant to this Section 9.1.

 

(d)                                 Upon delivering a Tag-Along Exercise Notice, each Tagging Member will, if requested by the Selling Members, execute and deliver a power of attorney in

 

35



 

form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Selling Members with respect to the Proposed Sale and the Company Interests that are to be sold by such Tagging Member pursuant hereto (a “Tag-Along Power of Attorney”); it being understood that the Tag-Along Power of Attorney will provide that each such Tagging Member will irrevocably appoint said attorney-in-fact as its agent and attorney-in-fact with full power and authority to act under the Tag-Along Power of Attorney on its behalf with respect to (and subject to the terms and conditions of) the matters specified in this Section 9.1.  For the avoidance of doubt, if by the end of ninety (90) days following the date of delivery of the Tag-Along Opportunity Notice (or, following the delivery of the last Amended Tag-Along Opportunity Notice, if applicable), the Selling Members and the Proposed Transferee have not completed the Proposed Sale, each Tag-Along Power of Attorney and all authority, power and rights granted therein shall be revoked, rescinded and terminated and the Tag-Along Power of Attorney shall be null and void ab initio.

 

9.2.                            Drag-Along Rights.

 

(a)                                 Drag-Along Rights.  If Members owning greater than 65% of the issued and outstanding Class A Interests (collectively, the “Dragging Members”) approve (x) a sale or exchange (by merger, consolidation or otherwise) of at least a majority of the Company Interests that are then issued and outstanding to a Person who is not an Affiliate of the Company or the Dragging Members (a “Third Party”) or (y) a sale or exchange by the Company and its Subsidiaries to a Third Party of all or substantially all of the assets of Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, then each Member other than the Dragging Members (the “Drag-Along Members”) hereby agrees that such Member shall (A) waive any appraisal rights that it would otherwise have in respect of the Drag-Along Sale (as defined below), (B) vote for, approve and otherwise consent to and raise no objection against (and instruct any Directors appointed by such Drag-Along Members to vote for, approve and otherwise consent to and raise no objection against) the Drag-Along Sale, (C) Transfer to or exchange with such Third Party, subject to the other provisions of this Section 9.2, on the terms approved by the Dragging Members in respect of their Company Interests to be sold or exchanged in the transaction, including time of payment, amount, form and choice of consideration (excluding any amount payable to a Member for any unpaid Class A Additional Capital or the aggregate unpaid amount of Class A Additional Capital Yield) and adjustments to purchase price, that number of Company Interests equal to the number outstanding Company Interests owned by such Member immediately prior to the Drag-Along Sale multiplied by the aggregate percentage of Company Interests to be sold in the Drag-Along Sale (if structured as a sale or exchange of equity), and (D) take any other action in connection with the Drag-Along Sale as may be reasonably requested by the Dragging Members.  Each Drag-Along Member agrees to cooperate in connection with the consummation of a Drag-Along Sale, including the execution of such agreements, stock powers and other related documents as may be required to effect the Drag-Along Sale.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Drag-Along Member which receives all cash in an amount meeting the requirement of this Section 9.2(a) shall have any right whatsoever hereunder to invest in any Third Party or to retain or receive any securities of the Company or securities of any Third Party acquiring the Company (and the condition set forth in this Section 9.2(a) shall be deemed satisfied) even if other Members are granted a right to invest in any entity acquiring the

39



 

Additional Put Exercise Notice or otherwise sell any Company Interests in connection with the put rights described in this Section 9.3(a)(i) for such period.  Any Additional Put Exercise shall be made by delivery of a written notice by the applicable Member to SEM and the Company during the ten (10) day period following such Member’s receipt of the WCAS Put Notification (each, an “Additional Put Exercise Notice” and together with a WCAS Put Exercise Notice, each a “Put Exercise Notice”), which Additional Put Exercise Notice shall indicate the number of Company Interests that such Member wishes to sell to SEM subject to such Member’s Put Cap; provided, however, that, with respect to Class B Members, such Member may only elect to sell vested Class B Interests to SEM and for only so long as such Member is an employee of the Company or one of its Subsidiaries.  In connection with each Put Exercise, (x) SEM shall purchase, and the applicable Class A Member or Class B Member shall sell, the applicable Company Interests no later than forty five (45) days following delivery of the applicable Put Exercise Notice and (y) SEM shall pay the applicable purchase price at the closing by one of the following methods determined in SEM’s sole and absolute discretion: (A) wire transfer of immediately available funds, (B) so long as SEM Common Stock is publicly traded, the issuance of shares of SEM Common Stock (valued at the 21 trading day volume-weighted average sales price of such shares for the period beginning ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the first public announcement of the Put Exercise and ending on the tenth (10th) trading day immediately following such announcement) or (C) a combination thereof; provided that each Member delivering a Put Exercise Notice shall be paid in the same relative mix of cash and SEM Common Stock.  Each Member hereby acknowledges that the issuance of any shares of SEM Common Stock that are paid to such Member pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence will not be registered under applicable securities laws (other than as required by Section 9.3(d)).

investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such Member or Representative shall provide the Company with prompt and, if possible, prior written notice of such requirement to disclose such Confidential Information.  Upon receipt of such notice, the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.  If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, such Member and its Representatives shall disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed (as determined in good faith by counsel to such Member) and shall take all reasonable steps to preserve the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.  In addition, neither such Member nor its Representative will oppose any action (and such Member and its Representatives will, if and to the extent requested by the Company and legally permissible to do so, cooperate with and assist the Company, at the Company’s expense and on a reasonable basis, in any reasonable action) by the Company to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

 

(d)                                 As used herein, “Confidential Information” means oral and written information concerning the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates furnished to any Member or Representative thereof by or on behalf of the Company or its Representatives (irrespective of the form of communication and whether such information is so furnished before, on or after the date hereof), and all analyses, compilations, data, studies, notes, interpretations, memoranda or other documents prepared by any Member or any Representative thereof containing or based in whole or in part on any such furnished information.  The term “Confidential Information” does not, with respect to any Member, include any information which (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by such Member or its Representative in violation hereof), (ii) is or becomes available to such Member on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Company or its Representatives provided that such source was not known by such Member to be prohibited from disclosing such information to such Member by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (iii) such Member includes in its filings under the Exchange Act or Securities Act.

 

12.2.                     Notices.  Any notice or communication required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered personally, delivered by nationally recognized overnight courier service, sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or sent by facsimile (subject to electronic confirmation of such facsimile transmission).  Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given (i) when delivered, if personally delivered, (ii) the first Business Day after it is deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier service, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service during a Business Day (and otherwise two (2) Business Days after it is so deposited), (iii) the day of sending, if sent by facsimile prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day or the next succeeding Business Day if sent by facsimile after 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on any Business Day or on any day other than a Business Day or (iv) five Business Days after the date of mailing, if mailed by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, in each case, to the following address or facsimile number, or to such other address or addresses or facsimile number or numbers as such party may subsequently designate to the other parties by notice given hereunder:

12.10.              Construction of Agreement.

 

(a)                                 The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.  Unless the context otherwise requires: (i) “or” is disjunctive but not exclusive (i.e., “or” shall mean “and/or”), (ii) words in the singular include the plural, and in the plural include the singular, (iii) the words “hereof,” “herein,” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, (iv) the headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement, (v) the words “Article” and “Section” are references to the articles and sections of this Agreement unless otherwise specified and (vi) whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.”  Unless expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, any action, consent, approval, election, decision or determination to be made by the Board under or in connection with this Agreement (including any act by the Board within its “discretion” under this Agreement and the execution and delivery of any documents or agreements on behalf of any other Person), shall be in the sole discretion of the Board.  To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any other agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this Agreement the Board is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole discretion” or “discretion” or under a grant of similar authority or latitude, the Board (and each Director)  shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it, her or she desires, including, without limitation, its, his or her own interests and those of its, his or her Affiliates, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Company or any other Person, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the Board (and each Director) shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard.

 

(b)                                 If WCAS transfers all (but not less than all) of its Company Equity Securities to a Permitted Transferee of WCAS described in clauses (i), (iii)(B) or (iii)(C) of the definition thereof in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, all references in this Agreement to WCAS (other than references in this Section 12.10(b)) shall mean such Permitted Transferee, and any right or action that may be taken at the election of WCAS may thereafter be taken only at the election of such Permitted Transferee.

 

(c)                                  If Dignity transfers all (but not less than all) of its Company Equity Securities to a Permitted Transferee of Dignity described in clause (i) of the definition thereof in compliance with the terms of this Agreement, all references in this Agreement to Dignity (other than references in this Section 12.10(c)) shall mean such Permitted

 

54



 

Transferee, and any right or action that may be taken at the election of Dignity may thereafter be taken only at the election of such Permitted Transferee.

 

12.11.              Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as set forth in Section 4.4 and Section 4.5, nothing expressed by or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.  Except as set forth in Section 4.4 and Section 4.5, this Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be and are for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly permitted hereby, each party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be subject to assignment or delegation by any party hereto, and any attempted assignment or delegation in violation hereof shall be null and void ab initio.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, no Transfer shall result in WCAS or Dignity transferring any of their rights and obligations that are specific to WCAS or Dignity under this Agreement to any Person except as set forth in Section 12.10(b) and Section 12.10(c).

 

12.12.              Duration of Rights Under Agreement.  Each Member agrees that, at the earliest time that a Person that is a Member ceases to own any Company Interests, such Person shall cease to be a Member and shall have no continuing rights under this Agreement.

 

12.13.              CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER AGREES THAT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SERVICE OF ANY PROCESS, SUMMONS, NOTICE OR DOCUMENT BY U.S. REGISTERED MAIL TO SUCH PARTY’S RESPECTIVE ADDRESS SET FORTH ON SCHEDULE I HERETO SHALL BE EFFECTIVE SERVICE OF PROCESS FOR ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTERS TO WHICH IT HAS SUBMITTED TO JURISDICTION IN THIS PARAGRAPH.  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, ANY RELATED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND HEREBY AND THEREBY FURTHER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY SUCH COURT THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

 

12.14.              WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  AS A SPECIFICALLY BARGAINED FOR INDUCEMENT FOR EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT (AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL), EACH PARTY HERETO EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY

 

55



 

LAWSUIT OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO OR ARISING IN ANY WAY FROM THIS AGREEMENT OR THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

12.15.              Incorporation of Exhibits.  All exhibits and schedules attached hereto are incorporated herein and made a part hereof.

 

12.16.              Assurances.  Each of the Members shall hereafter execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts and things as may be required to carry out the intent and purpose of this Agreement and as are not inconsistent with the terms hereof.

 

12.17.              Exclusivity. For so long as both a Dignity Member and a SEM Member are Members of the Company, the Dignity Members and the SEM Members, as applicable, shall not, and shall cause their respective Controlled Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, (a) engage in any Restricted Business, or (b) acquire a majority interest in, or the ability to appoint the majority of the directors of, any Person that engages in the Restricted Business in competition with the Company.  Even if such activities would otherwise constitute a Restricted Business, activities of Dignity or SEM, or any of their respective Controlled Affiliates, may continue to be carried on in substantially the manner carried on as of the date of this Agreement.  Further, even if such activities would otherwise constitute a Restricted Business, (i) the activities described on Exhibit D (in the case of the SEM Members) and on Exhibit E (in the case of the Dignity Members), (ii) any activity that Dignity or SEM, as applicable, offers to the Company and in which the Board elects not to engage within thirty (30) days of such offer, or (iii) any business conducted by an acquired Person if the Restricted Business is less than 20% of such acquired Person’s total revenues for the last reportable twelve-month period prior to the acquisition shall not be prohibited under this Section 12.17.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12.17 shall not restrict any business conducted by CHI as of the date of consummating any business combination between Dignity Parent and CHI.  Except as set forth in this Section, Dignity and SEM agree that nothing in this Agreement restricts the business operations of Dignity or SEM or either Member’s Affiliates in any way.   Dignity and SEM acknowledge that the restrictions contained in this Section are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Dignity and SEM in promoting the business of the Company.  In the event that any covenant contained in this Section should ever be adjudicated to exceed the duration, scope, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum duration, scope, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law.
