WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Sub, and Geeknet, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), will enter into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and as may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms (the “Merger Agreement”), which provides, among other things, for Sub to commence a tender offer for all of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (as defined below) (the “Offer”) and the merger of Sub with and into the Company (the “Merger”) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement (capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings specified in the Merger Agreement);

 

WHEREAS, Stockholder is, as of the date hereof, the record and/or beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which meaning will apply for all purposes of this Agreement) of the number of shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Common Stock”), of the Company set forth opposite the name of Stockholder on Schedule I hereto (together with any shares of Company Common Stock and of the Company which Stockholder may acquire at any time in the future during the term of this Agreement, the “Shares”); and

 

WHEREAS, as a condition to the willingness of Parent and Sub to enter into the Merger Agreement and as an inducement and in consideration therefor, Stockholder has agreed to enter into this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

(f) The Shares and the certificates, if any, representing the Shares owned by Stockholder are now, and at all times during the term hereof will be, held by Stockholder, by a nominee or custodian for the benefit of Stockholder or by the Paying Agent for the Offer, free and clear of all Encumbrances, claims, proxies, voting trusts or agreements, options, rights (other than community property interests, if any, applicable to an individual Stockholder), understandings or arrangements or any other liens or restrictions whatsoever on title, transfer, or exercise of any rights of a Stockholder in respect of such Shares (collectively, “Liens”), except for (i) any such Liens arising hereunder, (ii) any applicable restrictions on transfer under state or federal securities laws, (iii) any rights, agreements, understandings or arrangements that represent solely a financial interest in cash received upon sale of the Shares and (iv) any Liens that could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to materially impair the ability of the Stockholder to perform fully its obligations hereunder on a timely basis (collectively, “Permitted Liens”).

 

(g) Stockholder has full voting power, full power of disposition, full power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth herein and full power to agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case with respect to all of the Shares and except for Permitted Liens (none of which will prevent Stockholder from complying with the terms of this Agreement).

(a) Each of Parent and Sub is an entity duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, and each of Parent and Sub has all requisite entity power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Merger Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and has taken all necessary entity action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement.

 

(b) This Agreement and the Merger Agreement have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each of Parent and Sub, and, assuming such agreements constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the other parties thereto, this Agreement and the Merger Agreement constitute the legally valid and binding obligations of each of Parent and Sub, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their terms, subject to (i) laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency and the relief of debtors, and (ii) rules of law governing specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies.

 

SECTION 3. Tender of the Shares.

 

(a) Stockholder hereby agrees that, unless the Offer is earlier terminated or withdrawn by Sub, they shall duly tender (and deliver any certificates evidencing) the Shares beneficially held by them, or cause their respective Shares to be duly tendered, into the Offer promptly following, and in any event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following Stockholder’s receipt of the Offer Documents, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer Documents, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens); provided that Parent and Sub agree that Stockholder may withdraw its Shares from the Offer at any time following (x) the date that the Offer is terminated, withdrawn or expired or (y) the termination of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 9 hereof or (z) there has been and remains in 

 











 

effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

 

(b) Stockholder hereby agrees that once the Shares are tendered into the Offer, Stockholder will not withdraw any Shares from the Offer unless and until (x) the date that the Offer is terminated, withdrawn or expired or (y) the termination of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 9 hereof or (z) there has been and remains in effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

 

(c) Stockholder hereby (i) waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Stockholder may have, and (ii) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Sub, the Company or any of their respective successors (x) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (y) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of any Person in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Merger Agreement.

 

(d) If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Sub, or the Merger Agreement or this Agreement is terminated prior to the purchase of the Shares in the Offer, or there shall occur and remain in effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, Parent and Sub shall promptly (and in any event no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day) return, and shall cause any depository or paying agent acting on behalf of Parent and Sub, to return all tendered Shares to Stockholder.

 

SECTION 4. Transfer of the Shares; Other Legal Proceedings.

 

(a) Prior to the termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise expressly provided herein (including pursuant to Section 3, this Section 4 or Section 5) or in the Merger Agreement, Stockholder shall not: (i) transfer, assign, sell, gift-over, hedge, pledge or otherwise dispose (whether by sale, liquidation, dissolution, dividend or distribution) of, enter into any derivative arrangement with respect to, create or suffer to exist any Liens (other than Permitted Liens) on or consent to any of the foregoing (“Transfer”), any or all of Stockholder’s Equity Interests in the Company, including any Company Stock Options and Shares, or any right or interest therein; (ii) enter into any contract, option or other agreement, arrangement or understanding other than a Permitted Lien (provided such Permitted Lien shall not prevent Stockholder from complying with the terms of this Agreement) with respect to any Transfer; (iii) grant any proxy, power-of-attorney or other authorization or consent with respect to any of Stockholder’s Equity Interests in the Company, including the Shares or Stockholder’s Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs, with respect to any matter that is, or that is reasonably likely to be exercised in a manner, inconsistent with the provisions hereof; (iv) deposit any of Stockholder’s Equity Interests, including the Shares or Stockholder’s Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs, into a voting trust, or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any of such Equity Interests, including the Shares or Stockholder’s Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs; or (v) knowingly, directly or indirectly, take or cause the taking of any other action that would restrict, limit or interfere with the performance of Stockholder’s obligations hereunder or the transactions contemplated hereby, excluding any bankruptcy filing. Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio. If any involuntary Transfer of any of Stockholder’s Equity Interests in the Company, including the Shares or Stockholder’s Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares or Company RSUs, shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Equity Interests, including the Shares and Stockholder’s Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares and Company RSUs, subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. “Equity Interest” means any share, capital stock, partnership, limited liability company, member or similar interest in any Person, and any option, warrant, right or security convertible, exchangeable or exercisable therefor or other instrument, obligation or right the value of which is based on any of the foregoing, in each case issued, granted, entered into, agreed to or authorized by such Person.

 

(b) Stockholder agrees that it shall not become a member of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act) with respect to any Equity Interests in the Company, including shares of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Shares, Company RSUs or any other voting securities of the Company, for the purpose of opposing or competing with or knowingly taking any actions inconsistent with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, provided, however, this Section 4(b) shall not apply if (i) the Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms or (ii) this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Section 9.

 

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder may make (i) Transfers of Shares by will or by operation of law or other Transfers to immediate family members, trusts for the benefit of Stockholder, any immediate family member of Stockholder, charity or other Transfers for estate planning purposes, or upon the death of Stockholder, in which case any such transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement prior to the consummation of any such Transfer, and (ii) with 

 











 

respect to Stockholder’s Company Stock Options which expire on or prior to the End Date and Company Restricted Shares that vest on or prior to the End Date, Transfers of Shares to the Company (I) in payment of the exercise price applicable to each such Company Option (II) in order to satisfy required withholding taxes applicable upon the exercise of such Company Stock Options or the vesting of such Company Restricted Shares, and (iii) other Transfers of Shares as Parent may otherwise agree in writing in its sole discretion.

 

SECTION 5. Voting of Shares; Grant of Irrevocable Proxy; Appointment of Proxy.

 

(a) Without in any way limiting Stockholder’s right to vote Stockholder’s Shares in Stockholder’s sole discretion on any other matters that may be submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders consent or other approval, at every meeting of stockholders of the Company called, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, Stockholder shall, or shall cause the holder of record of the Shares on any applicable record date to, (i) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of Stockholder’s Shares entitled to vote to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (ii) vote all Shares beneficially owned or controlled by Stockholder and entitled to vote at each such meeting (the “Vote Shares”) (A) in favor of (x) the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and (y) the approval of any proposal to adjourn or postpone the meeting to a later date if there are not sufficient votes for the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby on the date on which such meeting is held, (B) against (x) any action or agreement that would reasonably be expected to in any material respect impede, interfere with or prevent the Offer or the Merger, including, but not limited to, any reorganization, recapitalization or liquidation involving the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, (y) any Acquisition Proposal and any action in furtherance of any Acquisition Proposal and (z) any action, proposal, transaction or agreement that would reasonably be expected to result in a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty or any other obligation or agreement of Stockholder under this Agreement and/or (C) in favor of any other matter necessary for consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement that is considered at any such meeting of the Company’s stockholders.

 

(b) Stockholder hereby irrevocably grants to, and appoints, Parent and any duly appointed designee thereof, Stockholder’s proxy and attorney-in-fact (with full power of substitution), for and in the name, place and stead of Stockholder, to attend any meeting of the stockholders of the Company on behalf of Stockholder solely with respect to the matters set forth in Section 5(a), to include such Shares in any computation for purposes of establishing a quorum at any such meeting of stockholders of the Company, and to vote all Vote Shares, or to grant a consent or approval in respect of the Vote Shares, in connection with any meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders of the Company in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 5(a), Stockholder hereby affirms that the irrevocable proxy set forth in this Section 5(b) is given in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, and that such irrevocable proxy is given to secure the performance of the duties of the Stockholder under this Agreement. Stockholder further affirms that the irrevocable proxy is coupled with an interest and, except as set forth in this Section 5(b) or Section 9, is intended to be irrevocable in accordance with the provisions of Section 212 of the DGCL. Stockholder hereby agrees to cause any other record owner of any Shares beneficially owned by Stockholder to appoint Parent proxy and attorney-in-fact in respect of such Shares in accordance with this Section 5(b).

 

(c) Stockholder hereby represents that any proxies heretofore given in respect of the Shares, if any, are revocable, and hereby revokes such proxies.

 

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Shares held by it in its sole discretion and without any other limitation on those matters other than those set forth in this Section 5 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s Stockholders generally.

 

(e) The obligations set forth in this Section 5 shall apply to Stockholder unless and until the earliest to occur of (x) the termination of this Agreement or the Merger Agreement or as otherwise provided pursuant to Section 9 or (y) there has been and remains in effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change.

 

(f) Stockholder hereby (i) waives and agrees not to exercise any rights of appraisal or rights to dissent from the Merger that Stockholder may have, and (ii) agrees not to commence or join in, and agrees to take all actions necessary to opt out of any class in any class action with respect to, any claim, derivative or otherwise, against Parent, Sub, the Company or any of their respective representatives or successors (x) challenging the validity of, or seeking to enjoin the operation of, any provision of this Agreement or (y) alleging a breach of any fiduciary duty of the Company Board in connection with the negotiation and entry into the Merger Agreement.

 

SECTION 6. Acquisition Proposals; No Solicitation. Stockholder will notify Parent and Sub immediately following Stockholder’s becoming aware of any Acquisition Proposal being received by, or, in connection with any Acquisition Proposal, 

 











 

any information being requested from or any negotiations or discussions being sought to be initiated or continued with, Stockholder or Stockholder’s Representatives, if any, which notice shall include the identity of the Person making such information request or Acquisition Proposal and the material terms and conditions of such Acquisition Proposal or information request. Stockholder shall not, nor shall it authorize or permit any of his, her or its Representatives to, directly or indirectly, (A) initiate, solicit, propose or encourage (including by providing information), or take any other action designed to, or which is reasonably expected to, facilitate, any Acquisition Proposal, (B) enter into any agreement with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or (C) engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding, or provide to any Person any information or data concerning the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company relating to, or otherwise cooperate with, any proposal that constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal. Stockholder shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, immediately cease all discussions and negotiations with any Person that may be ongoing with respect to any proposal that constitutes, or is reasonably expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal and request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished. “Representatives” means, with respect to Stockholder, any Subsidiary of such Stockholder and such Stockholder’s and each of its Subsidiaries’ directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants and other advisors, agents and representatives.

 

SECTION 7. Directors and Officers. This Agreement shall apply to Stockholder solely in Stockholder’s capacity as a holder of Company Common Stock, Company Stock Options, Company Restricted Stock, Company RSUs and/or other Equity Interests in the Company and not (if applicable) in Stockholder’s capacity as a director, officer or employee of the Company or in Stockholder’s capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Stockholder makes no agreement or understanding in this Agreement in Stockholder’s capacity (if applicable) as a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require Stockholder to attempt to) limit or restrict any actions or omissions of a director and/or officer of the Company, including the exercise of his or her fiduciary duties as a director and/or officer of the Company or in his or her capacity as a trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust or prevent or be construed to create any obligation on the part of any director and/or officer of the Company or any trustee or fiduciary of any employee benefit plan or trust from taking any action in his or her capacity as such director, officer, trustee and/or fiduciary.

 

SECTION 8. Further Assurances. Each party shall execute and deliver any additional documents and take such further actions as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to carry out all of the provisions hereof, including all of the parties’ obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation to vest in Parent the power to vote the Shares to the extent contemplated by Section 5.

(d) Entire Agreement, No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement (i) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (ii) is not intended to confer, nor shall it confer, upon any Person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies or benefits of any nature whatsoever, other than the Company which is an express third-party beneficiary of Section 5(f) of this Agreement.

 

(e) Governing Law, Jurisdiction. This Agreement, and all claims or causes of action (whether at Law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance hereof shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the Laws of another jurisdiction. Any Action against, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be brought solely and exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware; provided that if (and only after) such court determines that it lacks subject matter jurisdiction over any such Action, such Action shall be brought solely and exclusively in the federal courts of the United States located in the State of Delaware; provided, further, that if (and only after) both the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and the federal courts of the United States located in the State of Delaware determine that they lack subject matter jurisdiction over any such legal Action, such Action shall be brought in any state court in the State of Delaware having subject matter jurisdiction. Each of the parties agrees that a final judgment (subject to any appeals therefrom) in any such Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable Law. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, in accordance with the foregoing order of priority, in respect of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Action arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any such court in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12(e). Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12(a). Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

 

(f) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY INVOLVING ANY OF PARENT OR ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR REPRESENTATIVES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (ii) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11(F).

 

(g) Assignment; Binding Nature. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise by any of the parties hereto without the prior written consent of the other parties, except that Parent and Sub may assign, in their sole discretion and without the consent of 

 











 

any other party, any or all of their rights, interests and obligations hereunder to each other or to one or more direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent, and any such assignee may thereafter assign, in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other party, any or all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder to one or more additional direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of Parent, in each case to which it assigns its obligations under the Merger Agreement after providing written notice to Stockholder at least two (2) Business Days prior to such assignment; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement. Any assignment in violation of the preceding sentence shall be void. Subject to the preceding two sentences, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

 

(h) Severability of Provisions. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, insofar as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law in a mutually acceptable manner so that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible.

 

(i) Specific Performance.
