The description of the IAT Repurchase Agreements in this Item 3 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the IAT Repurchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 9 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

This Amendment No. 4 is filed as a result of the consummation of the IAT Repurchase Transaction and a Voting Agreement (the “Voting Agreement”), dated as of February 20, 2009, by and among each of the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors in their capacity as shareholders of the Company and Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, pursuant to which the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors agreed to grant Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh the power to vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented through proxy or otherwise) all of the Ordinary Shares owned beneficially or of record by the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors. No payments are required to be made by any of the parties in connection with the Voting Agreement.


Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by adding to the end of Item 4 the following:

The purpose of the IAT Repurchase Transaction was to allow the shareholders of IAT to hold their interest in the Company directly, rather than indirectly. In the first quarter of 2009, IAT plans to repurchase its remaining outstanding ordinary shares held by the Abu-Ghazaleh family in exchange for the remaining Ordinary Shares held by IAT (other than one such IAT ordinary share to be held by Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh pending the liquidation of IAT). These repurchases will be made pursuant to agreements that will be substantially identical to the IAT Repurchase Agreements. Following these planned repurchases, IAT will no longer own any Ordinary Shares.

The purpose of the Voting Agreement was to provide material inducement for Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh to approve the IAT Repurchase Transaction.

Pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each of the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors has agreed to (i) execute and deliver Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh an irrevocable proxy to cover the total number of Ordinary Shares for which such Abu-Ghazaleh Investor is entitled to vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented through proxy or otherwise) to the fullest extent permitted by law and (ii) continue to execute and deliver such proxy on an annual basis to the extent required by applicable law until the termination of the Voting Agreement.

The Voting Agreement terminates upon the earlier to occur of (i) the demise or legal incompetence of Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh or (ii) the election by Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh to terminate the Voting Agreement by written notice.

Under the terms of the Voting Agreement, if an Abu-Ghazaleh Investor acquires the right to vote any additional shares of Ordinary Shares, the Voting Agreement shall be applicable to such additional shares. The Voting Agreement also prohibits each Abu-Ghazaleh Investor from (i) making any transfer of the Ordinary Shares directly beneficially owned by such party unless the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the Voting Agreement; (ii) granting any other proxy or power or attorney with respect to the Ordinary Shares directly beneficially owned by such party, depositing any of the Ordinary Shares directly beneficially owned by such party into a voting trust or entering into any other voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Ordinary Shares directly beneficially owned by such party; or (iii) taking any other action that would make any representation or warranty of such party contained in the Voting Agreement untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh from performing his right to vote the Ordinary Shares directly beneficially owned by such party.

The description of the Voting Agreement in Item 3 above, which is incorporated by reference herein, and the description of the Voting Agreement in this Item 4 are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Voting Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

From time to time, each of the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors may enter into a liquidity program intended to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Act. The purpose of such liquidity program is for the diversification of the assets of such Abu-Ghazaleh Investor. As of the date hereof, each of Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Maher Abu-Ghazaleh and Amir Abu-Ghazaleh (together, the “Participating Persons”) has entered into such liquidity program (each, a “10b5-1 Plan”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”).


Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh’s 10b5-1 Plan, dated November 17, 2008, provides for a maximum of 200,000 Ordinary Shares to be sold by November 30, 2009. Maher Abu-Ghazaleh’s 10b5-1 Plan, as amended as of November 10, 2008, provides for a maximum of 173,239 Ordinary Shares to be sold by August 14, 2009. Amir Abu-Ghazaleh has entered into two separate 10b5-1 Plans: (i) a 10b5-1 Plan, dated November 20, 2008, providing for the sale of a maximum of 200,000 Ordinary Shares by December 3, 2009; and (ii) a 10b5-1 Plan, dated November 26, 2008 providing for the sale of a maximum of 50,000 Ordinary shares by November 25, 2009. Pursuant to his 10b5-1 Plans, Amir Abu-Ghazaleh sold 135,085 Ordinary Shares between December 18, 2008 and February 6, 2009. Pursuant to his 10b5-1 Plan, Maher Abu-Ghazaleh sold all 173,239 Ordinary Shares allowed to be sold thereunder between January 16, 2009 and January 28, 2009. As of the date hereof, no sale of Ordinary Shares has been made pursuant to Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh’s 10b5-1 Plan. Schedule V hereto set forth the date, price and number of shares with respect to each sale of Ordinary Shares effected by Amir Abu-Ghazaleh and Maher Abu-Ghazaleh.

All sales pursuant to each of the 10b5-1 Plans will be made based on the trading price of the Ordinary Shares at the time of such sale. No sales will be made under the 10b5-1 Plans unless the trading price of the Ordinary Shares exceeds each Participating Person’s threshold amount, and the number of Ordinary Shares sold pursuant to each Participating Person’s 10b5-1 Plan on any given day may not constitute over 25% of the total trading volume on any such day, as reasonably estimated by Morgan Stanley at such time. The 10b5-1 Plans do not affect the rights of each Participating Person to vote the applicable Ordinary Shares. The 10b5-1 Plans are for a period of one year, subject to early termination in certain events, and may be amended only in accordance with the terms thereof and applicable law.

The description of the 10b5-1 Plans in this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the form of the 10b5-1 Plan, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 11 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The response set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended by deleting the previous response in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

  (a) As of the date hereof: (i) IAT beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (ii) Sumaya Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (iii) Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (iv) Oussama Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (v) Maher Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (vi) Amir Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (vii) Fatima Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (viii) Nariman Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (ix) Maha Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (x) Wafa Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; and (xi) Hanan Abu-Ghazaleh beneficially owns 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 34.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding.


To the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, and except as described herein, none of Reporting Persons or beneficially owns any additional Shares.

 

  (b) As of the date hereof: (i) IAT directly beneficially owns 4,250,000 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 6.66% of the Ordinary Shares; (ii) Sumaya Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 3,771,666 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 5.91% of the Ordinary Shares; (iii) Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 5,568,055 Ordinary Shares consisting of 5,310,455 Ordinary Shares and 257,600 currently exercisable call options, which constitutes approximately 8.73% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (iv) Oussama Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 3,933,789 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 6.16% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding ; (v) Maher Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 1,418,100 Ordinary Shares consisting of 1,405,600 Ordinary Shares and 12,500 currently exercisable call options, which constitutes approximately 2.22% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (vi) Amir Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 1,842,396 Ordinary Shares consisting of 1,829,896 Ordinary Shares and 12,500 currently exercisable call options, which constitutes approximately 2.89% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (vii) Fatima Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 217,956 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.34% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (viii) Nariman Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 218,956 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.34% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (ix) Maha Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 187,134 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.29% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; (x) Wafa Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 221,956 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.35% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding; and (xi) Hanan Abu-Ghazaleh directly beneficially owns 253,956 Ordinary Shares, which constitutes approximately 0.40% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding.

Following the IAT Repurchase Transaction, the only shareholders of IAT are Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Maher Abu-Ghazaleh and Amir Abu-Ghazaleh (each, an “IAT Holder”) and collectively, the “IAT Holders”). Because each IAT Holder votes with the other IAT Holders, they jointly control IAT. As a result, each of IAT Holders may be deemed to beneficially own the 4,250,000 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 6.66% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares, directly owned by IAT. Consequentially, these Ordinary Shares are subject to the terms of the Voting Agreement.

As a result of the Abu-Ghazaleh Investors’ shared voting power with respect to the Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Voting Agreement, each Reporting Person may be deemed to beneficially own the 21,883,964 Ordinary Shares, representing approximately 34.29% of the outstanding Ordinary Shares. However, Such Reporting Persons do not share dispositive power with respect to the Ordinary Shares directly held by other Reporting Persons. Additionally, the dispositive power with respect to 4,250,000 Ordinary Shares directly owned by IAT may be deemed to be shared by Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh, Maher Abu-Ghazaleh and Amir Abu-Ghazaleh.

 

  (c) Other than as set forth in Item 3 and item 4 above and Schedule V attached hereto, to the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons have not effected any transactions in the Ordinary Shares during the 60-day period prior to the date hereof.


  (d) No other person is known by any of the Reporting Persons to have the right to receive or power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, the Ordinary Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons.

 

  (e) Not applicable.

In consideration of the foregoing and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1. AGREEMENT TO VOTE SHARES

1.1 Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) Shares. The term “Shares” shall mean all issued and outstanding shares of Del Monte ordinary shares and Del Monte preferred shares owned of record or beneficially by the Stockholders or over which the Stockholders exercise voting power, in each case, as of the record date for persons entitled (i) to receive notice of, and to vote at a meeting of the stockholders of Del Monte, or (ii) to take action by written consent of the stockholders of Del Monte. The Stockholders each further agree that any shares of capital stock of Del Monte that a Stockholder purchases or with respect to which a Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership or over which a Stockholder exercises voting power after the execution of this Agreement and prior to the date of termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 3 below shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares on the date hereof.

(b) Transfer. A Stockholder shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of a security if such Stockholder directly or indirectly: (i) sells, pledges, hypothecates, encumbers, transfers or disposes of, or grants an option with respect to, such security or any interest in such security; or (ii) enters into an agreement or commitment providing for the sale, pledge, hypothecation, encumbrance, transfer or disposition of, or grant of an option with respect to, such security or any interest therein.


1.2 Agreement to Vote Shares. Each Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, at any meeting (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting) of the stockholders of Del Monte, however called, or in connection with any written consent of the stockholders of Del Monte, MAG will appear at the meeting or otherwise cause the Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and vote or consent (or cause to be voted or consented through proxy or otherwise) the Shares as he shall determine in his sole and absolute discretion. The power granted hereby is irrevocable. MAG shall have the full power and authority and is hereby fully and exclusively empowered and authorized to act as set forth above in respect of any and all matters on which the Shares are entitled to vote under the certificate of incorporation of Del Monte, applicable law or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MAG shall not vote the Shares, absent specific written direction from the applicable Stockholder, with respect to the sale of such Shares.

1.3 Irrevocable Proxy. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each Stockholder will execute and deliver to MAG a duly executed proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (the “Proxy”) with respect to each meeting of stockholders of Del Monte, such Proxy to cover the total number of Shares for which each Stockholder is entitled to vote at any such meeting and such Proxy shall be coupled with an interest an irrevocable to the fullest extent permissible by law. To the extent required by applicable law, each Stockholder agrees that he shall execute and deliver to MAG a Proxy on an annual basis prior to the annual meeting of Del Monte. Upon the execution of this Agreement by each Stockholder, each Stockholder hereby revokes any and all prior proxies given by such Stockholder with respect to the Shares and agrees not to grant any subsequent proxies with respect to the Shares (except as required by applicable law and only to MAG) until the termination of this Agreement.

1.4 Transfer and Other Restrictions.

(a) Prior to the termination of this Agreement, each Stockholder agrees not to, directly or indirectly:

(i) except pursuant to the terms of the liquidation and dissolution of IAT offer for Transfer or enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or understanding with respect to or consent to the Transfer of any or all of the Shares or any interest therein if the Transferee does not expressly agree to be bound by the terms hereof;

(ii) grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to the Shares, deposit any of the Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to the Shares except as provided in this Agreement; or

(iii) take any other action that would make any representation or warranty of Stockholder contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the effect of preventing or disabling MAG from performing his right to vote the Shares as specified under this Agreement.


(b) To the extent a Stockholder is, as of the date hereof, a party to a contract or agreement that requires such Stockholder to Transfer Shares to another person or entity, such Stockholder will not effect any such Transfer unless and until the Transferee agrees to be bound by and executes an agreement in the form of this Agreement with respect to the Shares to be Transferred. Nothing herein shall prohibit Stockholder from exercising (in accordance with the terms of an option or warrant, as applicable) any option or warrant Stockholder may hold with respect to Del Monte capital stock; provided that the securities acquired upon such exercise shall be deemed Shares.

1.5 Covenant Not to Sue. Each Stockholder agrees that he or she will not bring, commence, institute, maintain, prosecute, participate in or voluntarily aid any action, claim, suit or cause of action, in law or in equity, in any court or before any governmental entity, which challenges the validity of or seeks to enjoin the operation of any provision of this Agreement, or seeks damages or other relief against MAG for the exercise of his powers hereunder. MAG shall not be liable by reason of any matter arising out of or in relation to this Agreement except for such loss or damage arising out of MAG’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

1.6 No Limitation on Discretion as Director. This Agreement is intended solely to apply to the exercise by a Stockholder of rights attaching to ownership of the Shares, and nothing herein shall be deemed to apply to, or to limit in any manner the discretion of any Stockholder who is a director of Del Monte with respect to, any action that may be taken or omitted by Stockholder acting in Stockholder’s fiduciary capacity as a director of Del Monte.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the grant of the Proxies do not, and the performance of a each Stockholder’s (as applicable) obligations as contemplated by this Agreement, the grant of the Proxies and compliance with the provisions of this Agreement will not (i) conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation that would result in the creation of any encumbrance upon any of the Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder under any provision of any agreement, judgment, injunction, order, decree, or other instrument binding on such Stockholder or any Shares beneficially owned by such Stockholder; (ii) conflict with or violate any statute, law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree applicable to such Stockholder or by which such Stockholder or any of such Stockholder’s property or assets is bound or affected. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with or exemption by any governmental entity or any other is required by or with respect to the Stockholder’s (as applicable) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the Proxy by such Stockholder or the performance by such Stockholder of such Stockholder’s obligations contemplated by this Agreement or the Proxy other than those to be taken simultaneous with the execution hereof. If this Agreement is being executed in a representative or fiduciary capacity, the person signing this Agreement has full power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement. If the Stockholder is a natural person and is married, and the Stockholder’s Shares constitute community property or otherwise need spousal or other approval for this Agreement and the Proxy to be legal, valid and binding on the Stockholder, this Agreement and Proxy have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by, and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of, the Stockholder’s spouse, enforceable against such spouse in accordance with its terms.

Sales Plan

Sales Plan dated the date specified in Exhibit A hereto (this “Sales Plan”) between Seller specified in Exhibit A (“Seller”) and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated (“Morgan Stanley”), acting as agent for Seller. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning given such terms in Exhibits A and B hereto.

 

A. Recitals

1. This Sales Plan is entered into between Seller and Morgan Stanley for the purpose of establishing a trading plan that complies with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

2. Seller is establishing this Sales Plan in order to permit the orderly disposition of a portion of Seller’s holdings of common stock of the Issuer (the “Stock”), including (only if the Sales Plan covers Stock that Seller has the right to acquire under outstanding stock options as specified in Exhibit C hereto) Stock that Seller has the right to acquire under outstanding stock options listed on Exhibit C (the “Options”) issued by the Issuer.

 

B. Representations, Warranties and Covenants

1. As of the date hereof, Seller is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning the Issuer or its securities. Seller is entering into this Sales Plan in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws.

2. The securities to be sold under this Sales Plan are owned free and clear by Seller (subject, in the case of shares underlying Options (if Exhibit C is applicable), only to the compliance by Seller with the exercise provisions of such Options) and, as of the Selling Start Date, are not subject to any agreement granting any pledge, lien, mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or encumbrance or any other limitation on disposition, other than those which may have been entered into between Seller and Morgan Stanley or imposed by Rules 144 or 145 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

3. While this Sales Plan is in effect, Seller agrees not to enter into or alter any corresponding or hedging transaction or position with respect to the securities covered by this Sales Plan (including, without limitation, with respect to any securities convertible or exchangeable into the Stock) and, unless this Sales Plan is modified or terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, agrees not to alter or deviate from the terms of this Sales Plan.

4. Seller agrees that Seller shall not, directly or indirectly, communicate any information relating to the Stock or the Issuer to any employee of Morgan Stanley or its affiliates who is involved, directly or indirectly, in executing this Sales Plan at any time while this Sales Plan is in effect. Morgan Stanley represents that it has in place reasonable policies and procedures to ensure that any representative of Morgan Stanley effecting sales pursuant to this Sales Plan does not sell shares of Stock on the basis of material non-public information. Any notice given to Morgan Stanley pursuant to this Sales Plan shall be given in accordance with paragraph F.5 below.

5. (a) Seller agrees to provide Morgan Stanley with a certificate dated as of the date hereof and signed by the Issuer substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto prior to commencement of the Plan Sales Period (as defined below).

(b) Seller agrees to notify Morgan Stanley’s PDP Trading Desk in writing at the address set forth in paragraph F.5 below as soon as practicable if Seller becomes aware of (i) a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction that is applicable to Seller or Seller’s affiliates or a stock offering requiring an affiliate lock-up, which would prohibit any sale pursuant to the Sales Plan (other than any

PDP Exhibits Form 1204


such restriction relating to Seller’s possession or alleged possession of material nonpublic information about the Issuer or its securities), (ii) a change in the Issuer’s insider trading policies, so that the sales to be made by Morgan Stanley for the account of the Seller pursuant to the Sales Plan would violate these policies, or (iii) where the Sales Plan covers Stock that Seller has the right to acquire under outstanding stock options, a change in the Issuer’s policies with regard to the timing or method of exercising such options which could interfere with the manner or timing of the sales to be made pursuant to this Sales Plan. In the case of a notice relating to clause (i) above, such notice shall indicate the anticipated duration of the restriction, but shall not include any other information about the nature of the restriction or its applicability to Seller and shall not in any way communicate any material nonpublic information about the Issuer or its securities to Morgan Stanley.

6. Seller agrees to complete, execute and deliver to Morgan Stanley a seller representation letter dated as of the date hereof substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto prior to the commencement of the Plan Sales Period.

7. The execution and delivery of this Sales Plan by Seller and the transactions contemplated by this Sales Plan will not contravene any provision of applicable law or any agreement or other instrument binding on Seller or any of Seller’s affiliates or any judgment, order or decree of any governmental body, agency or court having jurisdiction over Seller or Seller’s affiliates.

8. Seller has consulted with Seller’s own advisors as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of this Sales Plan. Seller acknowledges that Morgan Stanley is not acting as its fiduciary but is acting in a brokerage capacity in connection with the adoption and implementation of this Sales Plan.

9. Seller agrees that until this Sales Plan has been terminated Seller shall not, without providing prior written notice to Morgan Stanley, (i) enter into a binding contract with respect to the purchase or sale of Stock with another broker, dealer or financial institution (each, a “Financial Institution”), (ii) instruct another Financial Institution to purchase or sell Stock or (iii) adopt a plan for trading with respect to Stock other than this Sales Plan.

10. (a) Seller agrees to make (or cause to be made) all filings, if any, required under Sections 13(d), 13(g) and 16 of the Exchange Act in a timely manner, to the extent any such filings are applicable to Seller.

(b) Seller agrees that Seller shall at all times during the Plan Sales Period (as defined below), in connection with the performance of this Sales Plan, comply with all applicable laws, including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) Seller agrees to complete, execute and deliver to Morgan Stanley a Section 16 Authorization Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F.

11. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect sales of Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan. Seller and Morgan Stanley acknowledge and agree that Morgan Stanley shall not sell Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan at any time when any person at Morgan Stanley executing such sales is aware of material nonpublic information concerning the Issuer or its securities.

12. (a) Seller represents that Seller is not entering into the Sales Plan on behalf of, or with the assets of, an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity, or any employee retirement or employee benefit plan (such as, for example, a Keogh or “HR-10” plan). [Explanatory Note: A Sales Plan involving the sale of stock acquired through the exercise of employee stock options would not be “on behalf of, or with the assets of’ any of the types of plans referred to in this sub-paragraph.]

(b) If Seller is not an individual or an operating company, Seller represents that Seller is not an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or a “plan” as defined under Section 4975(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or an entity whose underlying assets include the assets of any such plan by reason of such a plan's investment in such entity.

13. If the Stock is to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or 145 of the Securities Act (as indicated by Seller in Exhibit A hereto), Seller makes the following additional representations, warranties and agreements:

(a) Seller represents and warrants that the Stock to be sold pursuant to this Sales Plan is currently eligible for sale under Rule 144 or 145.

(b) Seller agrees not to take, and agrees to cause any person or entity with which Seller would be required to aggregate sales of Stock pursuant to Rule 144 not to take, any action that would cause the sales hereunder not to meet all applicable requirements of Rule 144.

(c) Seller agrees to complete, execute and deliver to Morgan Stanley Forms 144 for the sales to be effected under this Sales Plan at such times and in such numbers as Morgan Stanley shall request, and Morgan Stanley agrees to file such Forms 144 on behalf


of Seller as required by applicable law. Each Form 144 filed shall indicate that the Stock covered by such Form 144 is being sold pursuant to this Sales Plan. If Exhibit A indicates that the Stock is to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or 145 of the Securities Act, Seller agrees that Morgan Stanley shall continue making Form 144 filings as contemplated by this paragraph B.13(c) in connection with sales under this Sales Plan until Morgan Stanley receives a written notification (which notification shall be acknowledged by the Issuer) stating that Seller is no longer an “affiliate” of the Issuer as that term is defined under Rule 144.

(d) Seller hereby grants Morgan Stanley a power of attorney to complete and/or file on behalf of Seller any required Forms 144. Notwithstanding such power of attorney, Seller acknowledges that Morgan Stanley shall have no obligation to complete or file Forms 144 on behalf of Seller except as set forth in subparagraph (c).

14. Morgan Stanley agrees to conduct all sales pursuant to this Sales Plan in accordance with the manner of sale and current public information requirements of Rule 144 and in no event shall Morgan Stanley effect any sale if such sale would exceed the then-applicable amount limitation under Rule 144, assuming Morgan Stanley’s sales pursuant to this Sales Plan are the only sales subject to that limitation.

15. As of the date hereof, Seller has not received notice of the imposition of, and Seller is not otherwise aware of the actual or approximate beginning or ending dates of, any existing or impending "blackout period" pertaining to the Issuer’s securities in individual account plans maintained by the Issuer, as defined by Rule 100(b) of Regulation Blackout Trading Restriction ("Regulation BTR") issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), and any amendments thereto.

16. Seller has read and understands the terms and conditions of either the Client Agreement (which Client Agreement governs the Plan Account), including the terms of Section 8 titled “Failure of Delivery” of the Client Agreement or the Private Wealth Management Account Agreement (which Account Agreement governs the Plan Account) including the terms of Section VII.3 of the Terms and Conditions titled “Settlement and Security Interest in Securities”.

 

C. Implementation of the Plan

1. Seller hereby appoints Morgan Stanley to sell shares of Stock pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth below. Subject to such terms and conditions, Morgan Stanley hereby accepts such appointment.

2. Morgan Stanley is authorized to begin selling Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan on the Selling Start Date and shall cease selling Stock on the earliest to occur of (i) the date on which Morgan Stanley is required to suspend or terminate sales under this Sales Plan pursuant to paragraph D.3 below, (ii) if Seller is an individual, the date on which Morgan Stanley receives notice of the death of Seller, (iii) the date on which Morgan Stanley receives notice of the commencement or impending commencement of any proceedings in respect of or triggered by Seller’s bankruptcy or insolvency, (iv) the date on which Morgan Stanley receives a valid Customer Securities Account Transfer notice with respect to the account of Seller, and (v) the Selling End Date (the “Plan Sales Period”).

3. (a) Morgan Stanley shall sell the Interim Sale Amount specified in Exhibit B for the account of Seller during each Interim Sales Period specified in Exhibit B at Morgan Stanley’s sole discretion in accordance with ordinary principles of best execution; provided, that Morgan Stanley shall not sell any shares of Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan at a price of less than the Minimum Sale Price specified in Exhibit B; and provided, further, that, except as otherwise provided in Exhibit B hereto, Morgan Stanley shall not sell any shares of Stock pursuant to this Sales Plan to the extent that such sales would, on any given day, constitute over 25% of the total trading volume on any such day, as reasonably estimated by Morgan Stanley at such time.

A “Trading Day” is any day during the Plan Sales Period that the primary market on which the Stock regularly trades is open for business and the Stock trades on such market.

(b) The Interim Sale Amount, the Total Sale Amount and the Minimum Sale Price (to the extent any such terms are applicable) and any other share amounts and per share prices set forth in Exhibit B of this Sales Plan shall be adjusted automatically on a proportionate basis to take into account any stock split, reverse stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Stock or any change in capitalization with respect to the Issuer that occurs during the Plan Sales Period.

4. Morgan Stanley shall not sell Stock hereunder at any time when:

(i) Morgan Stanley, in its sole discretion, has determined that a market disruption, material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services, banking moratorium, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other crisis or calamity that could, in Morgan Stanley’s judgment, impact offer, sales or delivery of the Stock has occurred (provided, however, that Morgan Stanley shall resume effecting trades in accordance with this Sales Plan as soon as Morgan Stanley determines that it is reasonably practical to do so); or


(ii) Morgan Stanley, in its sole discretion, has determined that it is prohibited from doing so by a legal, contractual or regulatory restriction applicable to it or its affiliates or to Seller or Seller’s affiliates (other than any such restriction relating to Seller’s possession or alleged possession of material nonpublic information about the Issuer or the Stock); or

(iii) Morgan Stanley has received notice from the Issuer or Seller of the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph B.5(b) above; or

(iv) Morgan Stanley has received notice from Seller to terminate the Sales Plan in accordance with paragraph D.3 below.

5. (a) Seller agrees to deliver the Stock to be sold pursuant to this Sales Plan (with the amount to be estimated by Seller in good faith, if the Interim Sale Amount is designated as an aggregate dollar amount) (the “Plan Shares”), to the extent such Plan Shares are currently owned by Seller, into an account at Morgan Stanley in the name of and for the benefit of Seller (the “Plan Account”) prior to the commencement of sales under this Sales Plan.

Morgan Stanley agrees to notify Seller promptly if at any time during the Plan Sales Period the number of shares of Stock so delivered to the Plan Account is less than the number of Plan Shares remaining to be sold pursuant to this Sales Plan (not including shares of Stock underlying the Options described in subparagraph (b) below). Upon such notification, Seller agrees to deliver promptly to the Plan Account the number of shares of Stock necessary to eliminate this shortfall.

(b) If the Sales Plan covers Options and Exhibit C is applicable, Seller agrees to make appropriate arrangements with the Issuer and its transfer agent and stock plan administrator to permit Morgan Stanley to furnish notice to the Issuer of the exercise of the Options and to have underlying shares delivered to Morgan Stanley as necessary to effect sales under this Sales Plan. Seller hereby authorizes Morgan Stanley to serve as Seller’s agent and attorney-in-fact and, in accordance with the terms of this Sales Plan, to exercise the Options. Seller agrees to complete, execute and deliver to Morgan Stanley Stock Option Cashless Exercise Forms, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, for the exercise of Options pursuant to this Sales Plan at such times and in such numbers as Morgan Stanley shall request. Stock received upon exercise of Options shall be delivered to the Plan Account.

(c) Morgan Stanley shall withdraw Stock from the Plan Account in order to effect sales of Stock under this Sales Plan.

If the Sales Plan covers Options and Exhibit C is applicable, and on any day that sales are to be made under this Sales Plan the number of shares of Stock in the Plan Account is less than the number of shares to be sold on such day, Morgan Stanley shall exercise a sufficient number of Options to effect such sales in the manner specified in Exhibit C under “Manner of Exercising Options”. Morgan Stanley shall in no event exercise any Option if at the time of exercise the exercise price of the Option is equal to or higher than the market price of the Stock. Morgan Stanley shall, in connection with the exercise of Options, remit to the Issuer the exercise price thereof along with such amounts as may be necessary to satisfy withholding obligations. These amounts shall be deducted from the proceeds of sale of the Stock, together with interest thereon computed in accordance with Morgan Stanley’s customary practices.

(d) To the extent that any Stock remains in the Plan Account after the end of the Plan Sales Period or upon termination of this Sales Plan, Morgan Stanley agrees to return such Stock promptly to the Issuer’s transfer agent for relegending to the extent that such Stock would then be subject to transfer restrictions in the hands of the Seller.

6. Morgan Stanley shall in no event effect any sale under this Sales Plan if the Stock to be sold is not in the Plan Account or underlying an Option that is exercised in accordance with the terms of this Sales Plan on the day of such sale.

7. Morgan Stanley may sell Stock on any national securities exchange, in the over-the-counter market, on an automated trading system or otherwise. Seller agrees that if Morgan Stanley is a market maker or dealer in the Stock at the time that any sale is to be made under this Sales Plan, Morgan Stanley may, at its sole discretion, purchase the Stock from Seller in its capacity as market maker or dealer.

8. All references in this Sales Plan to per share stock prices shall be before deducting any commission, commission equivalent, mark-up or differential and other expenses of sale.

9. Seller may instruct Morgan Stanley to sell or purchase shares of Stock other than pursuant to this Sales Plan. The parties hereto agree that any such sale or purchase transaction (i) will not be deemed to modify this Sales Plan unless Seller so requests in writing in accordance with paragraph D.1 below and (ii) will be given by Seller to Morgan Stanley only if such transaction does not contravene any of the representations, warranties or covenants set forth in Section B of this Sales Plan.


D. Amendment; Termination

1. This Sales Plan may be amended by Seller only upon the written consent of Morgan Stanley and receipt by Morgan Stanley of the following documents, each dated as of the date of such amendment:

(i) a representation signed by the Issuer substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto,

(ii) a certificate signed by Seller certifying that the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Sales Plan are true at and as of the date of such certificate as if made at and as of such date, and

(iii) a seller representation letter completed and executed by Seller substantially in the form of Exhibit E hereto.

2. In no event may Seller modify or otherwise alter this Sales Plan if Seller has received notice of the imposition of, or Seller is otherwise aware of the actual or approximate beginning or ending dates of, any existing or impending "blackout period" pertaining to the Issuer's securities in individual account plans maintained by the Issuer, as defined by Rule 100(b) of Regulation BTR issued by the SEC, and any amendments thereto.

3. (a) This Sales Plan may be suspended or terminated by Seller at any time upon one day prior written notice sent to Morgan Stanley’s PDP Trading Desk by overnight mail or by facsimile at the address and fax number set forth in paragraph F.5 below. Seller agrees that Morgan Stanley will not be required to suspend or terminate any sales of the Stock unless Morgan Stanley has received such notice from Seller or has received notice from the Issuer in accordance with the provisions contained in paragraph D.3(b). Seller further agrees that Seller shall not suspend or terminate this Sales Plan except upon consultation with Seller’s own legal advisors.

(b) This Sales Plan shall be suspended and, at Morgan Stanley’s option, may be terminated, if Morgan Stanley receives notice from the Issuer, sent in accordance with the notice provisions contained in paragraph D.3(a), of the occurrence of any event contemplated by paragraph B.5(b).

 

E. Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

1. (a) Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Morgan Stanley and its directors, officers, employees and affiliates from and against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or attributable to this Sales Plan, including, without limitation, any breach by Seller of this Sales Plan (including Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder) or any violation by Seller of applicable laws or regulations; provided, however, that the indemnification provisions of this paragraph E.1.(a) shall not apply in the case of any claims, losses, damages or liabilities resulting from Morgan Stanley’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller will reimburse Morgan Stanley for any and all advance fees, costs and expenses of any kind incurred by Morgan Stanley as a result of such Losses. This indemnification shall survive termination of this Sales Plan.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither party shall be liable to the other for:

(i) any special, indirect, punitive, exemplary or consequential damages, or incidental losses or damages of any kind, even if advised of the possibility of such losses or damages or if such losses or damages could have been reasonably foreseen, or

(ii) any failure to perform or to cease performance or any delay in performance that results from a cause or circumstance that is beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to failure of electronic or mechanical equipment, strikes, failure of common carrier or utility systems, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other crisis or calamity, severe weather, market disruptions, material disruptions in securities settlement, payment or clearance services or other causes commonly known as “acts of God”.
