EXHIBIT B
STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
--------------------
THIS STANDSTILL AGREEMENT dated August 6, 1996 (this "Agreement"), is
entered into by and between UNIONBANCORP, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Union"), and DENNIS J. MCDONNELL ("Stockholder").
RECITALS
A. Union and Prairie Bancorp, Inc., an Illinois corporation ("Prairie"),
are parties to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated January 22, 1996
(the "Merger Agreement"), providing for the merger (the "Merger") of Prairie
with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Union.
B. As a result of the Merger, Union will issue to Stockholder
approximately 118,430 shares of Union's common stock, $1.00 par value ("Union
Common Stock").
C. Union is unwilling to expend the substantial time, effort and expense
necessary to implement the proposed acquisition of Prairie, including applying
for and obtaining necessary approvals of federal and state banking authorities,
unless Stockholder enters into this Agreement with Union.
D. The obligation of Union under the Merger Agreement to consummate the
transactions contemplated therein is subject to the receipt by Union of a
standstill agreement in the form of this Agreement from Stockholder, Stockholder
is executing this Agreement for the purpose of inducing Union to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and Stockholder believes it is
in his best interest as well as the best interest of Prairie for Union to
consummate the Merger.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements of the
parties herein contained, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and
as an inducement to Union to incur the expenses associated with the Merger, the
parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
AGREEMENTS
1. TERM. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the respective
----
covenants and agreements of Stockholder and Union contained in this Agreement
will continue in full force and effect until the fourth anniversary of the
consummation of the Merger (the "Termination Date").
2. COVENANTS OF STOCKHOLDER. Stockholder agrees that prior to the
--------------------------
Termination Date and subject to the further provisions hereof:
(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2(a) and
Section 7, neither Stockholder nor any "person" (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange
Act")), who is an affiliate (as defined below) of Stockholder (collectively, the
"Stockholder Group"), will, directly or indirectly, acquire any shares of Union
Common Stock in addition to those shares of Union Common Stock issued to
Stockholder in connection with the Merger if at the time of such proposed
acquisition the shares of Union Common Stock then owned by Stockholder represent
12.5% or more of the then issued and outstanding shares of Union Common Stock,
or to the extent such proposed acquisition would increase the percentage
ownership of the Stockholder Group of the then issued and outstanding shares of
Union Common Stock to 12.5% or more. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
the preceding sentence, Stockholder shall not be prohibited from: (i) acquiring
any shares of Union Common Stock issuable to Stockholder in connection with the
conversion of the shares of Union's Series A Preferred Stock issued to
Stockholder in connection with the Merger; (ii) receiving additional shares of
Union Common Stock through stock dividends declared by Union or through any
other distributions or offerings made by Union generally to all holders of Union
Common Stock; or (iii) increasing his percentage ownership of Union Common Stock
solely as a result of actions approved by Union's board of directors and
affecting all holders of Union Common Stock generally.
(b) Stockholder shall take such action as may be required so that all
shares of Union Common Stock owned by any member of the Stockholder Group are
voted for those persons who are serving as of the date of this
<PAGE> 9
Agreement on Union's board of directors and for any other person nominated by
Union's management to fill any vacancy on Union's board so long as such person:
(i) would not reasonably be expected to be unacceptable to any regulatory
authority with jurisdiction over Union; (ii) is of good character and
reputation; and (iii) possesses business experience. The good faith
determination by a majority of Union's directors that any person meets such
qualifications shall be dispositive of such issue. In addition to the foregoing,
Stockholder shall take such action as may be required so that all shares of
Union Common Stock owned by any member of the Stockholder Group are voted for an
amendment of the certificate of incorporation of Union to adopt provisions
substantially similar to those found in Section 203 of the General Corporation
Law of the State of Delaware. The members of the Stockholder Group, as holders
of Union Common Stock, agree to be present, in person or by proxy, at all
meetings of stockholders of Union so that all shares of Union Common Stock
beneficially owned by them may be counted for the purpose of determining the
presence of a quorum at any such meetings. To further effectuate the provisions
of this Section 2(b), Stockholder hereby grants to the President of Union an
irrevocable proxy coupled with an interest to: (i) represent all of the shares
of Union Common Stock now or hereafter owned by Stockholder, or over which
Stockholder now has or hereafter may have voting control, at any stockholders'
meeting called by Union's Chairman of the Board, President or a majority of its
directors for the purpose of establishing the necessary quorum for the conduct
of business; and (ii) to vote such shares of Common Stock in favor of any
matters presented at such meeting that Stockholder has agreed by the terms of
this Section 2(b) to support. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained
herein shall prevent Stockholder from participating in any meeting of Union's
stockholders and from voting the shares of Union Common Stock owned by him on
all matters for which he has not granted the President of Union a proxy pursuant
to this Section 2(c). Such proxy shall expire on the Termination Date.
Stockholder agrees to execute such further proxies, instruments, agreements and
other documents as may be reasonably necessary to further evidence this grant of
proxy.
(c) The proxy granted by the Stockholder pursuant to Section 2(b) and the
covenants contained in Section 2(f) and 2(g) of this Agreement shall terminate
on the earlier of the fourth anniversary of the date of this Agreement or at
such time, if ever, as any third party or any affiliated group (other than any
employee benefit plan sponsored by Union or any of its subsidiaries) acquires
25% or more of the issued and outstanding Union Common Stock, provided, that no
member of the Stockholder Group [nor Mr. Dennis J. McDonnell] shall be part of a
partnership, limited partnership, syndicate or other group, or shall otherwise
be acting in concert with any other person which is a member of, or an affiliate
of any member of, such affiliated group or which is an affiliate of such third
party, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of shares of
Union Common Stock.
(d) Stockholder acknowledges that he has been made aware that the board of
directors of Union has had under consideration, for a number of months, the
adoption of a stockholders' rights plan, that Union's board of directors intends
to continue such consideration and may, at some time before or after the closing
of the Merger, adopt and implement such a plan.
(e) No member of the Stockholder Group shall deposit any shares of Union
Common Stock in a voting trust or subject any shares of Union Common Stock to
any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of such shares.
(f) No member of the Stockholder Group shall solicit proxies or become a
"participant" in a "solicitation," as such terms are defined in the current
version of Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act in opposition to the
recommendation of the majority of the directors of Union with respect to any
matter.
(g) No member of the Stockholder Group shall join a partnership, limited
partnership, syndicate or other group, or otherwise act in concert with any
other person, for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of
shares of Union Common Stock, or otherwise become a "person" within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act (in each case other than solely with
members of the Stockholder Group).
(h) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and for any
sales or transfers solely between: (i) Messrs. Wayne W. Whalen and Dennis J.
McDonnell; (ii) Mr. Whalen and his spouse or any child; (iii) Mr. McDonnell and
his spouse or any child; and (iv) Messrs. Whalen or McDonnell and any bidder (as
defined in Rule 14d-1 of the Exchange Act) which has commenced a tender offer
for Union Common Stock which Union
2
<PAGE> 10
has recommended to its stockholders, no member of the Stockholder Group shall,
directly or indirectly, offer, sell or transfer any shares of Union Common Stock
without offering Union a right of first refusal in the manner provided in this
Agreement.
3. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL. Except for transfers described in Section 2(h),
----------------------
any member of the Stockholder Group, prior to making any offer to sell, the sale
or transfer of any shares of Union Common Stock to the extent such shares
represent 5% or more of the then issued and outstanding shares of Union Common
Stock, or to the extent that the current proposed transfer of shares, when
aggregated with all past transfers of shares of Union Common Stock from the
Stockholder Group to the same transferee or such transferee's affiliates would
equal or exceed such 5% limit, shall give Union the opportunity to purchase such
shares of Union Common Stock in the following manner:
(a) Any member of the Stockholder Group intending to make such an offer,
sale or transfer shall give notice (the "Transfer Notice") to Union in writing
of such intention, specifying the number of shares of Union Common Stock
proposed to be disposed of and the proposed price therefor, and any specific
offer to purchase such shares of Union Common Stock theretofore received and
then remaining open, identifying the offeror and setting forth all the terms of
such offer (including price). For purposes hereof, a bona fide third-party
tender or exchange offer to purchase shares of Union Common Stock shall be
deemed to be an offer at the price specified therein, without regard to any
provisions thereof with respect to proration or conditions to the offeror's
obligation to purchase.
(b) Union shall have the right, exercisable by written notice given by
Union to the party which gave the Transfer Notice within 15 Business Days (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) after receipt of such Notice (or in the case of
a tender or exchange offer, no later than 24 hours prior to the latest time by
which shares of Union Common Stock must be tendered in order to be accepted
pursuant to such offer or to qualify for any proration applicable to such
offer), to purchase (or to cause a corporation, entity, person or group
designated by Union to purchase) all, but not a part of, the shares of Union
Common Stock specified in such Notice for cash at the price set forth therein.
If the purchase price specified in the Transfer Notice includes any property
other than cash, such purchase price shall be deemed to be the amount of any
cash included in the purchase price plus the value (as jointly determined by a
nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by each party or, in the
event such firms are unable to agree, a third nationally recognized investment
banking firm to be selected by them) of such other property included in such
price. For this purpose:
(i) The parties shall use their best efforts to cause any
determination of the value of any securities included in the purchase
price to be made within seven Business Days after the date of delivery of
the Transfer Notice. If the firms selected by Stockholder and Union are
unable to agree upon the value of any such securities within such
seven-day period, the parties shall promptly select a third firm whose
determination shall be conclusive.
(ii) The parties shall use their best efforts to cause any
determination of the value of property other than securities to be made
within ten Business Days after the date of delivery of the Transfer
Notice. If the firms selected by Stockholder and Union are unable to agree
upon a value within such ten-day period, the parties shall promptly select
a third firm whose determination shall be conclusive.
(iii) The date on which Union must exercise its right of first
refusal shall be extended until three Business Days after the
determination of the value of property included in the purchase price if
such property consists solely of securities or five Business Days after
the determination of such value if other property is included.
(c) If Union exercises its right of first refusal hereunder, the closing
of the purchase of the shares of Union Common Stock with respect to which such
right has been exercised shall take place within 30 calendar days (or if
approval of such purchase by any bank regulatory authority is required by law,
within 90 calendar days) after Union gives notice of such exercise. Upon
exercise of its right of first refusal, Union shall be legally obligated to
consummate the purchase contemplated thereby and shall use its best effort to
secure all approvals required in connection therewith.
3
<PAGE> 11
(d) If Union does not exercise its right of first refusal hereunder within
the time specified for such exercise, the party giving the Transfer Notice shall
be free during the period of 90 calendar days following the expiration of such
time for exercise to sell the shares of Union Common Stock specified in such
Notice to the offeror identified therein at the price specified therein or at
any price in excess thereof. If sold in this manner, the shares of Union Common
Stock that were the subject of such sale shall thereafter be free of the
restrictions imposed by this Agreement.
4. LEGEND. (a) Stockholder acknowledges that all certificates representing
------
shares of Union Common Stock now owned or hereafter acquired by members of the
Stockholder Group shall bear the following legend which will remain thereon as
long as such shares of Union Common Stock are subject to the restrictions
contained in this Agreement:
The securities represented by this certificate are subject to
the provisions of a Standstill Agreement dated August , 1996,
between Dennis J. McDonnell and UnionBancorp, Inc., and may not be
sold or transferred except in accordance therewith. A copy of said
Standstill Agreement is on file at the office of the corporate
secretary of UnionBancorp, Inc.
(b) Union may enter a stop transfer order with the transfer agent or
agents of shares of Union Common Stock against the transfer of shares of Union
Common Stock except in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement. Union
agrees to remove promptly any stop transfer order with respect to, and issue
promptly certificates without such legend in substitution for, certificates for
any shares of Union Common Stock that are no longer subject to the restrictions
contained in this Agreement.
5. PLEDGE OF STOCK. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent Stockholder
---------------
from pledging the shares of Union Common Stock or any shares of Union's
preferred stock owned by him to secure any of Stockholder's obligations,
provided, however, that the terms of such pledge will grant to Union the right
- -------- -------
to acquire any such pledged shares at their then current book value in the event
of a default by Stockholder immediately prior to the transfer of such pledged
shares to a third party through a sale made under the provisions of Article 9 of
the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted in the State of Illinois, or any other
similar creditor's remedy.
6. CONSULTATION WITH STOCKHOLDER. If at any time during the term of this
-----------------------------
Agreement the employment of Mr. R. Scott Grigsby as Union's Chief Executive
Officer shall be voluntarily or involuntarily terminated, Union agrees to
consult with Mr. Whalen and Mr. McDonnell within 90 days after such termination
and before Union's board of directors chooses a new Chief Executive Officer.
7. PRE-EMPTIVE RIGHTS OF STOCKHOLDER. If at any time during the term of
----------------------------------
this Agreement Union shall issue any shares of Union Common Stock at a per share
price that is less than the then current per share book value of Union Common
Stock (a "Discount Issuance") to any person in exchange for cash or the
securities of any other entity (other than shares of Union Common Stock issued:
(a) upon conversion of shares of Union's Series A Preferred Stock; (b) to
employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services
for Union pursuant to any stock option plan, stock purchase plan or other
management incentive plan approved by Union's board of directors; or (c) in
connection with any stock dividends, stock splits or other stock distribution
made to all stockholders of Union generally), Union shall offer to Stockholder
on the same terms and conditions such number of shares of Union Common Stock as
would allow Stockholder to maintain the same percentage ownership of the issued
and outstanding Union Common Stock as he owned immediately prior to such
Discount Issuance.
8. REMEDIES. Stockholder, on the one hand, and Union, on the other,
--------
acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of
the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their
specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the
parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of
the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and
provisions hereof in any court of the United States or any state thereof having
jurisdiction, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at
law or equity.
