Item 6.         Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

On April 30, 2018, in connection with the Combination Transactions, the Reporting Person entered into the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement.  The following summary of the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement does not purport to reflect all of the provisions of the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement, which has been filed as Exhibit 7(f) hereto.

 

Voting and Support Agreement

 

Voting Obligations, Transfer Restrictions and Termination

 

Pursuant to the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement, the Reporting Person is obligated, among other things, to vote all of its shares of Common Stock in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement, against any Competing Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and any agreement, amendment of the Issuer’s organizational documents or other action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Combination Transactions.  In the event that, prior to receipt of shareholder approval of the Merger Agreement, the board of directors of the Issuer makes an Ignite Adverse Recommendation Change (as defined in the Merger

Agreement), then the Reporting Person may, in its sole discretion, vote its shares of Common Stock (i) as described in the preceding sentence or (ii) in the same proportion as votes cast by the shareholders of the Issuer (other than the Reporting Person) with respect to the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and any agreement, amendment of the Issuer’s organizational documents or other action that is intended or would reasonably be expected to prevent or delay the consummation of the Combination Transactions. The Reporting Person has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to transfer its shares of Common Stock during the term of the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement.

 

The ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms; (ii) the Final Holdco Merger Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement); or (iii) the date on which certain provisions of the Merger Agreement are modified, amended, waived or changed, or a provision is added to the Merger Agreement, in any case, which is or is reasonably expected to be adverse to the Reporting Person, without the prior written consent of the Reporting Person.

 

Registration Rights

 

The ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement provides that immediately after, and contingent upon, the Final Holdco Merger Effective Time, Marriott shall assume all of the Issuer’s rights and obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of October 27, 2015, by and among the Reporting Person, the Liberty Parties (as defined therein) and the Issuer (as so assumed, the “Registration Rights Agreement”), and Marriott will be substituted for the Issuer for all purposes under the Registration Rights Agreement.. The ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement also grants the Reporting Person certain additional rights with respect to the registration of shares.

 

Waiver of Rights under Spinco Agreement

 

Pursuant to the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement, the Reporting Person has waived (the “Spinco Agreement Waiver”) certain of its rights under Section 6 of the Spinco Agreement in favor of the Combination Transactions. Such Spinco Agreement Waiver will continue in effect regardless of any amendments to the Merger Agreement, except in the case of any amendment that would reasonably be expected to have an effect upon the Reporting Person’s decision to grant the Spinco Agreement Waiver.  In addition, the Spinco Agreement Waiver will be applicable to alternative proposals and agreements relating to the Combination Transactions and any amendments to the Merger Agreement in response thereto, and will survive a termination of the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement (including termination resulting from the Issuer’s acceptance of a Superior Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) and the execution of a definitive agreement in respect thereof) except as specifically provided in the ILG/Marriott Voting Agreement.
