NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and
other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as
follows:
1.
Purchase
. Subject
to Section 7 , Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby
purchases from Seller at the Closing (as defined in Section
4(c) ) the Shares at the Purchase Price Per Share, for the
Aggregate Purchase Price.
2.
Agreement not to
Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact
. In
further consideration of the Aggregate Purchase Price, Seller
hereby agrees it has not and will not exercise its Conversion
Rights or, if it has already exercised its Conversion Rights, it
hereby withdraws and revokes such exercise and will execute all
necessary documents and take all actions required in furtherance of
such revocation. Seller acknowledges that the record date to vote
on the proposals set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus (the
“ Proxy Statement ”) filed by Buyer with
the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “
SEC ”) has passed. Accordingly, solely with
respect to the vote for the Merger and the other proposals set
forth in the Proxy Statement, Seller hereby agrees to upon request
of Buyer vote in favor of the Merger and such other proposals and
appoints Daniel C. Slaton and Ezra Shashoua and each of them each
with full power of substitution, as his proxy and attorney-in-fact,
to the full extent of Seller’s rights with respect to the
Shares (and any and all other shares or securities or rights issued
or issuable in respect thereof) to vote in such manner as each such
person or his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem proper,
and to otherwise act (including without limitation acting by
written consent) with respect to all the Shares at any meeting of
stockholders (whether annual or special and whether or not an
adjourned meeting) of Buyer held on or prior to November 7, 2009.
This proxy is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
Execution by Seller of this Agreement shall revoke, without further
action, all prior proxies granted by Seller at any time with
respect to the Shares (and such other shares or other securities)
and no subsequent proxies will be given by Seller (and if given
will be deemed not to be effective).
3.
No Right to
Additional Shares . Enterprise’s
stockholders of record are entitled to receive one share of ARMOUR
Common Stock for each share of Enterprise common stock owned
immediately prior to the consummation of the Merger (the “
Exchange ”) . Although Seller will be a
stockholder of record immediately prior to the Merger, Seller
hereby acknowledges that Seller irrevocably waives any right, title
or interest it may have in receiving any such ARMOUR Common Stock
distributed pursuant to the Exchange. Seller hereby acknowledges
that by virtue of the sale hereunder, Seller will not become a
stockholder of ARMOUR, and the Shares shall automatically be
cancelled and shall cease to exist and shall represent only the
right to receive the Aggregate Purchase Price there for in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Additionally, each of
Buyer and Seller hereby agree and acknowledge that this provision
is material to this Agreement and a significant consideration in
Buyer’s willingness to enter into this Agreement.
