- F4The Tender and Support Agreement generally requires, subject to certain exceptions, such Subject Shareholders to (i) tender, or cause to be tendered, into the Exchange Offer all of the Shares owned by the Subject Shareholder (the "Subject Shares") and not to withdraw its Subject Shares from the Exchange Offer and (ii) vote, or cause or direct to be voted, all of the Shares beneficially owned by them to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the Mergers and the Exchange Offer and against any acquisition proposal or any other action, agreement or transaction that would reasonably be expected to impede or delay the Mergers and the Exchange Offer. Each Subject Shareholder also agreed to certain transfer restrictions, subject to certain exceptions, with respect to the Subject Shares held by such Subject Shareholder.
